The last source being about her boyfriend (but also mentioning her) is not a concern, it is referencing a sentence which is about him and is a reliable source (The Independent). Dates of birth for living people rarely have a source which isn't primary, it's still reliable for this fact. The second source which could be considered primary, ITV, referencing the announcement of the show she would be taking part in and it's therefore very reliable. We wouldn't want primary sources as the main sources, but the balance here is 6 out of 8 sources are secondary. OK can be a little sycophantic, but it isn't sensationalist and they don't just make things up. It wouldn't be a reliable source for a discussion on rocket science, but for information on McCann's life, it is reliable, its approach is certainly not tabloid-like. The article also has the Telegraph, the IB Times, the Independent and 2 articles from The Evening Standard. The only point of a tag would be to help improve sourcing (unlikely to work, this is what there is so far in her life) or if the sources are not reliable (this has 8 reliable sources, 6 of them secondary).

Boleyn Half full or half empty really. Primary non-independent for the birthday is the issue. My mistake with the Telegraph source - I didn't read past the Twitter comments for the 3rd place, but did endure the video! OK, leaving this now.
