Lee Ryan has revealed his wife is pregnant once again in a hilarious Britney Spears-themed post, announcing his sixth child is on the way. The Blue icon, 42, took to TikTok to share the good news with a picture of himself and Verity Paris, who was sporting a baby bump. Posing by the piano, Lee was beaming as he put his hand on his wife's stomach as she smiled from ear to ear in a stunning pink silky dress. The snap was set to Britney Spears' hit track Oops I Did It Again, inspiring Lee's playful caption. ''Oooops we did it again' baby number 4 on the way to add to our lovely little family!,' he wrote. 'Another vibe to join the tribe we are truly grateful.' The All Rise singer pointed out another one of their children had snuck into the snap, calling his son on the piano chair a 'little Elton John'. Lee and Verity — who was on The X Factor in 2009 — have three children together, two girls and a boy, born in 2023, 2022, and 2021. They tied the knot in 2022 in Seville, with all of Blue — Duncan James, Antony Costa, and Simon Webbe — in attendance.

Congratulations filled the comments from fans and friends alike, quickly racking up over 4,000 likes and hundreds of messages. 'Congratulations mate,' DJ Scott Robinson said before joking: 'I think you need to get a TV in your bedroom lol.' Lee replied: 'Haha yeah thanks bro 😎 I can't afford a tv….. 📺 we don't like the brainwashing box anyway.' Samantha Harvey said: 'Starting your own band, mate!! Hahah congratulations!! ♥️♥️.' EastEnders star Shona McGarty added: 'AHHH NO WAY!!!! Yay! Xxx ❤️congratulations to you both xxx 💝.' 'I'm so happy you have found happiness and you have a beautiful family.

Lee has been very open about his life, previously sharing a loved-up details about his and Verity's wedding. He told OK!: 'The service incorporated different religions and spiritual elements along with lots of different music, which made everyone cry. I walked down the aisle with my newborn son in my arms dressed in matching tux to Time by Hans Zimmer, played by a string quartet. More Trending 'Then watching my wife walk down the aisle to I'm Kissing You by Des'ree sung by a gospel choir… that took my breath away.' Phones were banned at the ceremony, with the couple wanting family members to be in the moment rather than filming it. Speaking about his kids, he added: 'Our children are our lives. Our two girls were flower girls and our little boy was all dressed up too. They were all at the front with us, as you can see in some of the photos.' Got a story?

Verity Resources set for first REE-Gallium drilling at Pimenta in Brazil
Don't miss out on the headlines from Stockhead. Followed categories will be added to My News. Verity will test a 20km high grade rare earths-gallium trend at the Pimenta project Exploration indicates geological signatures similar to American Rare Earths' Halleck Creek project in the US Auger drilling will target two priority zones within a >20km airborne thorium anomaly Special report : A maiden auger drill program is set to begin at Verity Resources' Pimenta project in Minas Gerais, Brazil, to test a 20km high-grade rare earths-gallium-titanium zone. The drilling will follow recent reconnaissance work which returned up to 25,817ppm total rare earth oxide (TREO), with an average of 25% high value magnet rare earths (MREO) over 147 samples. Verity Resources' (ASX:VRL) program will target two priority zones within a >20km airborne thorium anomaly, where surface sampling confirmed strong geochemical correlation and high concentrations of rare earths, gallium and titanium. The campaign will consist of 20 auger holes, designed to test the vertical and lateral continuity of mineralisation within the saprolite zone. VRL believes the results to date confirm a mineralisation style potentially similar to American Rare Earths' (ASX:ARR) Halleck Creek allanite REE deposit with a 2.63Bt at 3,292ppm TREO resource, one of the largest in the US. Importantly, the REE geochemical signature remains consistent between rock and regolith samples, supporting a model of vertical enrichment via residual weathering. Background on Pimenta Pimenta is in Brazil's well-established mining region of Minas Gerais. The project spans 90km2, targeting a large, granite-hosted REE system enriched in rare earth elements and critical accessory minerals including lithium, zirconium, niobium and titanium. VRL completed the acquisition of a 70% interest in the project in 2024 from Foxfire Metals. The company recently agreed to extend the minimum joint venture expenditure commitment term for a further 12 months to February 2026. 'Hallmarks' of a critical metals discovery VRL's board believes the start of auger drilling at Pimenta is an important milestone. 'Surface results confirm the presence of a widespread and high-grade REE-gallium-titanium system over a confirmed 20km of radiometric strike,' the company said. 'This program will give us key insights into mineralisation continuity and depth potential. 'With excellent surface results and strong geological context, Pimenta has the hallmarks of a significant critical metals discovery.' Strategic importance of Pimenta Whilst the company's focus remains on the development of a resource upgrade and expansion strategy at the Monument gold project in WA, Verity is pleased to be in a position with a second project of global strategic importance developing in the background. Rare earths, gallium and titanium are all considered critical minerals, essential for modern technologies and national security but bear a risk of supply chain disruptions. In mid-2023, China introduced export restrictions on gallium and other critical metals, leading to supply shortages and subsequent price increases. Gallium is primarily used in electronics and is also a critical material in the production of semiconductors, while rare earths are used in a wide range of applications from everyday electronics to permanent magnets used in EV motors and wind turbines. Due to its strength, low density and corrosion resistance, titanium is used in aerospace components, medical implants, sporting goods and jewellery.
