Scots DJ Cassi Gillespie flew to America to long-time pal Diane Knox's baby shower for a sweet surprise.
Former Clyde 1 DJ Diane departed Glasgow and moved stateside to Florida in 2016 to be closer to her parents Mike and Val and golfer brother Russell. Diane, who now works in golf media, announced her pregnancy earlier this year with husband Garret Balas after tying the knot last year.
Telling followers about her pregnancy news, she said: "Good morning, Twitter-fam. I’m so thrilled to share that Garrett & I are HAVING A BABY!!! We’re bursting with love & gratitude for our precious growing bump, and we’re so excited for our Thanksgiving baby."
After sending her pal an unlikely invitation to her baby shower, Diane was stunned when Cassi turned up at her door alongside her parents earlier this week. Sharing the sweet video on social media, fans could see the tearful moment the two were reunited.
Taking to social media, Cassi shared all about the surprise she had planned for her former co-worker. She captioned the post: "Life is made of small moments like these . Glad to make it to @dianeknoxbalas‘s baby shower. She text in July asking if I would like to come, I think the words were “I know there is no possibility”…I ignored the message and replied to the rest but little did she know.
"We always said since she departed in 2016 we would make the effort to keep in touch and see each other once a year at least and so far so good thanks to @valknox2 for all the help in making the dream a reality!"
Gushing over her dream baby shower, Diane took to Instagram to share snaps from the big day. She wrote: "Baby Balas is soooo lucky to have such incredible people in his life, as are we. The best friends!

Bloomberg reports that the pro-Donald Trump conservative channel is aiming to replace the audience it lost after pay-TV providers DirectTV and Verizon dropped it from their lineups.Founder and owner Robert Herring Sr. earlier this year urged One America viewers to pressure their providers to reinstate the channel, with no success.So now, the station, which has been accused of spreading misinformation about the 2020 election and still faces several lawsuits related to its reporting, is going old-school and setting up free, over-the-air subchannels in about 30 markets, with plans to reach about 100 by the end of the year, according to Bloomberg.Among the markets OAN is targeting: Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Wichita, Kansas and Jacksonville, Florida.Last month, the company said it inked a deal to launch OAN 22 states with Zito Media of Potter County, Pennsylvania, stating that it was moving quickly to get its signal out before the midterm elections.Subchannels are a little-noticed corner of the TV business that is growing as more people cancel pay-TV and reinstall antennas on their homes to pick up free broadcast stations.
Twelve years after a murder in South Florida, detectives said they’ve identified a gay pornography model as the chief suspect in the killing.In August 2010, Broward County Sheriff’s Office deputies found a man, 31-year-old Alfred “Chad” McMurray, dead from a gunshot wound at his residence in Oakland Park, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. They failed to locate a clear suspect at the time.On Friday, however, the office published an announcement saying that in May, “new information led homicide investigators to identify a possible suspect.”That person is Aaron Michael Dobbins, a 52-year-old Tampa resident who previously acted in gay pornography under the name “Trace Michaels.” According to the BSO statement, investigators obtained a search warrant for Dobbins’ DNA and matched it with forensic evidence found under McMurray’s fingernails at the crime scene 12 years ago.“Investigators said based on the information gathered and evidence collected in this case, they believe Dobbins is responsible for the murder,” the sheriff’s office said in its statement.Detectives claimed in an arrest report that McMurray’s truck, along with some personal items, had been stolen from the murder scene.
