  71. &lt;p&gt;WATFORD have sacked manager Paulo Pezzolano after just 10 games in charge.&lt;/p&gt;
  72.  
  73.  
  74.  
  75. &lt;p&gt;The Uruguayan was dismissed despite two wins and a draw in his last three matches.&lt;/p&gt;

  84.  
  85.  
  86.  
  87. &lt;p&gt;And he has been replaced by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/javi-gracia/&quot;&gt;Javi Gracia&lt;/a&gt;, who previously took charge of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196664/watford/&quot;&gt;Hornets&lt;/a&gt; for 66 games between January 2018 and September 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  88.  
  89.  
  90.  
  91. &lt;p&gt;Pezzolano joined Watford in May following &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tom-cleverley/&quot;&gt;Tom Cleverley&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; exit, having managed Mexican giants Pachuca, Brazilian side Cruzeiro and Spanish outfit Valladolid.&lt;/p&gt;
  92.  
  93.  
  94.  
  95. &lt;p&gt;But his first six games did not go to plan, with the Hornets bagging just five points.&lt;/p&gt;
  96.  
  97.  
  98.  
  99. &lt;p&gt;However, Watford are now only three points off the playoffs following Saturday&amp;#8217;s 2-1 comeback win at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/28566328/oxford-united/&quot;&gt;Oxford United.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  
  103. &lt;p&gt;Yet that has not stopped the Hornets hierarchy from wielding the axe.&lt;/p&gt;
  104.  
  105.  
  106.  
  107. &lt;p&gt;Pezzolano departs with the third-shortest reign in Watford&amp;#8217;s history.&lt;/p&gt;
  108.  
  109.  
  110.  
  111. &lt;p&gt;Only Billy McKinlay and Oscar Garcia took charge of fewer games, with two and four matches respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
  112.  
  113.  
  114.  
  115. &lt;p&gt;Hornets fans are now braced for the return of Spanish gaffer Gracia.&lt;/p&gt;
  116.  
  117.  
  118.  
  119. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32916258/best-free-bets-sign-up-offers-uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  120.  
  121.  
  122.  
  123. &lt;p&gt;He won 25 of his 66 games during an 18-month spell.&lt;/p&gt;
  124.  
  125.  
  126.  
  127. &lt;p&gt;Gracia has since managed Valencia and Al-Sadd.&lt;/p&gt;

  152.

  204. &lt;p&gt;PUNTERS are certain &amp;#8216;nothing will touch&amp;#8217; Constitution Hill on the track this season &amp;#8211; after Nicky Henderson posted a video of the former king doing &amp;#8216;serious work&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  205.  
  206.  
  207.  
  208. &lt;p&gt;The ex-Supreme Novices&amp;#8217; Hurdle and Champion Hurdle superstar looked totally lost last season.&lt;/p&gt;
  209.  
  210.  
  211.  
  212. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36943555&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cons1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Four racehorses and their jockeys running across a grassy field.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943555&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;553&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Constitution Hill led Jonbon and Lulamba up the hill at Seven Barrows &amp;#8211; and looked pretty good doing it&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  213.  
  214.  
  215.  
  216. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36943601&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/jockey-nico-de-boinville-lies-984499835.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Jockey Nico de Boinville lies on the grass after falling from his horse during the William Hill Aintree Hurdle.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943601&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;633&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Constitution Hill left Nico de Boinville in a heap after unseating at Aintree[/caption]
  217.  
  218.  
  219.  
  220. &lt;p&gt;Wins in the Christmas and Unibet Hurdles were the bright spots before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34254345/constitution-hill-falls-again-aintree/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;falls at Cheltenham, Aintree&lt;/a&gt; and a disastrous jumping performance at Punchestown.&lt;/p&gt;
  221.  
  222.  
  223.  
  224. &lt;p&gt;Legendary trainer Henderson says Constitution Hill has been for a full MOT over the summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  225.  
  226.  
  227.  
  228. &lt;p&gt;That included a trip to the &amp;#8216;equine Specsavers&amp;#8217; to ensure nothing was wrong with his eyesight.&lt;/p&gt;
  229.  
  230.  
  231.  
  232. &lt;p&gt;Hendo reports his stable star to be tickety boo ahead of a potential return in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle next month.&lt;/p&gt;
  233.  
  234.  
  235.  
  236. &lt;p&gt;And it seems most punters are ready to forgive last season&amp;#8217;s nightmarish runs in the belief he can come back to his best.&lt;/p&gt;
  237.  
  238.  
  239.  
  240. &lt;p&gt;Constitution Hill certainly looked the part doing work at Henderson&amp;#8217;s Seven Barrows base.&lt;/p&gt;
  241.  
  242.  
  243.  
  244. &lt;p&gt;The handler posted a video of Con Hill galloping up the hill ahead of multiple Grade 1-winning monster Jonbon and Arkle fav Lulamba.&lt;/p&gt;
  245.  
  246.  
  247.  
  248. &lt;p&gt;We won&amp;#8217;t really know if he is as good as he once was until he takes to a hurdle in public.&lt;/p&gt;
  249.  
  250.  
  251.  
  252. &lt;p&gt;But his odds for the Champion Hurdle &amp;#8211; where he is still as big as 10-1 &amp;#8211; have shortened in recent days.&lt;/p&gt;
  253.  
  254.  
  255.  
  256. &lt;p&gt;One punter who watched the clip said: &amp;#8220;The head&amp;#8217;s telling me he’s no chance, but the heart tells me he’s winning the lot.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  257.  
  258.  
  259.  
  260. &lt;p&gt;While another wrote: &amp;#8220;Come on Conny Hill. Back to his best this season &amp;#8211; nothing will touch him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  261.  
  262.  
  263.  
  264. &lt;p&gt;A further comment read: &amp;#8220;If you don’t want to see Constitution Hill back to his best and winning the Champion Hurdle do you even like racing?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  354. &lt;p&gt;MANNY PACQUIAO has announced he will return to the ring again on January 24 in Las Vegas. &lt;/p&gt;
  355.  
  356.  
  357.  
  358. &lt;p&gt;The Filipino boxing icon &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36837638/manny-pacquiao-update-floyd-mayweather-rematch/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;came out of retirement in July&lt;/a&gt; to challenge for Mario Barrios&amp;#8217; WBC welterweight world title. &lt;/p&gt;
  359.  
  360.  
  361.  
  362. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36943639&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/manny-pacquiao-wbc-welterweight-title-1011158973.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Manny Pacquiao with red boxing gloves and sweat on his body during round 10 of his fight against Mario Barrios.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943639&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;674&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Manny Pacquiao has announced he will return to the ring again on January 24 in Las Vegas[/caption]
  363.  
  364.  
  365.  
  366. &lt;p&gt;It was his first fight in &lt;strong&gt;FOUR YEARS&lt;/strong&gt; but despite the inactivity &amp;#8211; several believed he was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35930982/manny-pacquiao-barrios-boxing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;unfortunate to walk away with just a draw. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  367.  
  368.  
  369.  
  370. &lt;p&gt;But undeterred, PacMan is preparing for his second comeback fight. &lt;/p&gt;
  371.  
  372.  
  373.  
  374. &lt;p&gt;He said: “Hello to all my boxing fans. I’m excited to let you know I will be returning to the ring January 24 in Las Vegas.&lt;/p&gt;
  375.  
  376.  
  377.  
  378. &lt;p&gt;“It is going to be an exciting and special event. Stay tuned. More news to come on my opponent in the next few days.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  379.  
  380.  
  381.  
  382. &lt;p&gt;Pacquiao, who turns 47 in December, is targeting another 147lb world title shot, this time against WBA champ Rolly Romero, 29.  &lt;/p&gt;
  383.  
  384.  
  385.  
  386. &lt;p&gt;But according to Ring Magazine, other names in consideration are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gervonta-davis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gervonta Davis&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/conor-benn/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Conor Benn&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  387.  
  388.  
  389.  
  390. &lt;p&gt;Davis, 30, first faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 28, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36934671/gervonta-davis-biggest-problem-jake-paul-exhibition-fight/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;in a Miami exhibition bout on November 14. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  391.  
  392.  
  393.  
  394. &lt;p&gt;A day later, Benn, 29, rematches Chris Eubank Jr, 36, after losing their second generation grudge match in April. &lt;/p&gt;
  395.  
  396.  
  397.  
  398. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  399.  
  400.  
  401.  
  402. &lt;p&gt;Romero &amp;#8211; coming off victory over 26-year-old Ryan Garcia in May &amp;#8211; is the frontrunner for the fight. &lt;/p&gt;
  403.  
  404.  
  405.  
  406. &lt;p&gt;Pacquiao told media: “We are negotiating and finalising.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

  431.  
  432.  
  433.  
  434. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;2026 will be a new year with new beginnings and hopefully a new opponent. &lt;/p&gt;
  435.  
  436.  
  437.  
  438. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think the perfect time for Manny to make a statement to come back is January, and I think the perfect opponent is Rolly Romero.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1560.  
  1561.  
  1562.  
  1563. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amazon/&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s October event has now begun.&lt;/p&gt;
  1564.  
  1565.  
  1566.  
  1567. &lt;p&gt;Prime Big Deal Days runs from 7 to 8 October 2025, and it’s exclusive to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amazon-prime/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Amazon Prime&lt;/a&gt; members&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/retail/amazon-prime-big-deals-day-when-october-7-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  1570.  
  1571. &lt;p&gt;We’ll be updating our Prime Day home &amp;amp; garden deals throughout, with real-time stock checks so genuine savings surface first.&lt;/p&gt;
  1572.  
  1573.  
  1574.  
  1575. &lt;p&gt;As expected, some early offers appeared before the 48-hour window, and many more will go live as the event continues.&lt;/p&gt;
  1576.  
  1577.  
  1578.  
  1579. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What is Amazon Prime Day?&lt;/h2&gt;
  1580.  
  1581.  
  1582.  
  1583. &lt;p&gt;Prime Day is Amazon’s members-only sale, offering big, limited-time discounts across the site. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/autumn/&quot;&gt;autumn&lt;/a&gt; edition is known as Prime Big Deal Days.&lt;/p&gt;
  1584.  
  1585.  
  1586.  
  1587. &lt;p&gt;It runs for two days and is exclusive to Prime members&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/primebigdealdays&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, making it the perfect opportunity to snag standout prices on everything from Amazon devices to everyday home essentials. &lt;/p&gt;
  1588.  
  1589.  
  1590.  
  1591. &lt;p&gt;Expect &lt;span id=&quot;779dc6a5-e2e0-4f7a-98ba-ff01b2563ee3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Lightning&lt;/span&gt; Deals that vanish fast, early offers before the main window, and fresh drops throughout. &lt;/p&gt;
  1592.  
  1593.  
  1594.  
  1595. &lt;p&gt;Not a member? &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4mHXZ92&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Start a free trial&lt;/a&gt; to get access and fast delivery while the event is live.&lt;/p&gt;

  1602.  
  1603. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Are items cheaper on Amazon Prime Day?&lt;/h2&gt;
  1604.  
  1605.  
  1606.  
  1607. &lt;p&gt;Often, yes, especially on Amazon devices and everyday essentials; however, the value varies by product. &lt;/p&gt;
  1608.  
  1609.  
  1610.  
  1611. &lt;p&gt;Check recent price &lt;span id=&quot;9fc251c5-35d7-4304-81e4-15b2f95f9ca4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;history&lt;/span&gt;, compare like-for-like specs, and watch for &lt;span id=&quot;7af17ad3-0b27-4852-a99e-caa20eb84bfb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Lightning&lt;/span&gt; Deals that sell out fast. &lt;/p&gt;
  1612.  
  1613.  
  1614.  
  1615. &lt;p&gt;A price tracker, such as CamelCamelCamel, can help you spot genuine drops and avoid inflated &lt;span id=&quot;08f02a18-660b-4094-801e-ab9abad09036&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/span&gt; prices, which is also particularly handy for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/black-friday/&quot;&gt;Black Friday&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  1811.  
  1812.

  1819.  
  1820.  
  1821.

  1828.  
  1829.  
  1830. &lt;p&gt;This includes real-time footage captured from the International Space Station (ISS), providing breathtaking horizon shots to detailed imagery spanning over 240km of terrain below.&lt;/p&gt;
  1831.  
  1832.  
  1833.  
  1834. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I can’t be alone in occasionally staring up into space and wondering what’s going on up at the International Space Station and what their view of us down on Earth is looking like,&amp;#8221; said Anna Lowman, Editorial Manager for ITVX: Live, FAST Channels &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youtube/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1835.  
  1836.  
  1837.  
  1838. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To be able to live stream that view from Space continuously, on ITVX for free, is very exciting.&lt;/p&gt;

  1889. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re tired of paying out on several streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ then there are a growing number of free alternatives around.&lt;/p&gt;
  1890. &lt;p&gt;While many of these alternatives have been filled with obscure content, more big names like Sky have got on board in recent years offering some quality stuff, which is largely archive but still entertaining.&lt;/p&gt;
  1891. &lt;p&gt;As well as UKTV, Sony and 5 are among the other players getting involved.&lt;/p&gt;
  1892. &lt;p&gt;If you haven&amp;#8217;t already, give Pluto TV a go, it&amp;#8217;s available on pretty much all devices including Fire TV Sticks.&lt;/p&gt;
  1893. &lt;p&gt;On there you&amp;#8217;ll find channels from MTV, with Catfish and Geordie Shore.&lt;/p&gt;
  1894. &lt;p&gt;Some of the classics are real gems too &amp;#8211; I found myself watching long-forgotten episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch the other day.&lt;/p&gt;

  1962. &lt;p&gt;Just as you would for a regular Premier League Matchweek, you should enter your score predictions for each fixture before the deadline: 7:45pm on October 9th.&lt;/p&gt;
  1963.  
  1964.  
  1965.  
  1966. &lt;p&gt;Remember, each correct prediction earns you an entry into the end&amp;#8211;of-season prize draw for £10,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  1967.  
  1968.  
  1969.

  1971.  
  1972.  
  1973.  
  1974. &lt;p&gt;So why wouldn&amp;#8217;t you enter predictions for Matchweek 9? It only takes a few seconds.&lt;/p&gt;

  2026.  
  2027.

  2029.  
  2030.  
  2031.  
  2032. &lt;p&gt;But they&amp;#8217;ll be up against it on Friday night given Slovakia boast a 100% record in qualifying so far.&lt;/p&gt;

  2078.  
  2079.  
  2080.  
  2081. &lt;p&gt;If The Boys in Green are to have any hope of qualifying for the World Cup they will need to take revenge at the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday night.&lt;/p&gt;
  2082.  
  2083.  
  2084.  
  2085. &lt;p&gt;Before that, Ireland travel to Portugal to face Cristiano Ronaldo and company &amp;#8212; a tough test to say the least.&lt;/p&gt;
  2086.  
  2087.  
  2088.  
  2089. &lt;p&gt;Finally, The Three Lions already have one eye on this summer&amp;#8217;s tournament having won all five of their qualifiers without conceding a goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  2090.  
  2091.  
  2092.

  2148. &lt;p&gt;THE Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm has earned its spot in the skincare hall of fame, with a cult following that spans over a decade.&lt;/p&gt;
  2149.  
  2150.  
  2151.  
  2152. &lt;p&gt;Almost every skincare lover will be familiar with this Elemis product, and as a beauty writer, I&amp;#8217;m ashamed to admit that I hadn&amp;#8217;t tried it before conducting this Elemis Cleansing Balm review.&lt;/p&gt;

  2172.  
  2173.  
  2174. &lt;p&gt;The cult cleanser has just been slashed by a huge 30% in the Amazon Prime Day sale, and it&amp;#8217;s currently at one of its lowest prices to date. &lt;/p&gt;

  2179.  
  2180.  
  2181.  
  2182. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve been using the balm daily for around three months, using it first as part of my double cleansing step.&lt;/p&gt;
  2183.  
  2184.

  2191.  
  2192.  
  2193.  
  2194. &lt;p&gt;Its rich texture emulsifies into a milk when mixed with water, removing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/make-up/&quot;&gt;make-up&lt;/a&gt; and impurities while hydrating the skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  2195.

  2205.  
  2206.  
  2207. &lt;li&gt;Leaves the skin feeling hydrated &lt;/li&gt;
  2208.  
  2209.  
  2210.  
  2211. &lt;li&gt;Only a small amount of product needed&lt;/li&gt;
  2212.  
  2213.

  2233.  
  2234.  
  2235.  
  2236. &lt;ul&gt;
  2237. &lt;li&gt;Quite expensive &lt;/li&gt;
  2238.  
  2239.  
  2240.  
  2241. &lt;li&gt;Using it as a face mask left my skin feeling greasy&lt;/li&gt;

  2254. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  2257. &lt;div&gt;
  2258. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How much is the Elemis cleansing balm?&lt;/strong&gt; The Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm typically costs £48 for a 100g pot, though smaller travel sizes and gift sets are also available.&lt;/p&gt;
  2259. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who&amp;#8217;s it best for?&lt;/strong&gt; Elemis&amp;#8217; Cleansing Balm is popular for a reason &amp;#8211; most skin types can benefit from the product. It&amp;#8217;s especially good for those with dry, dehydrated and mature skin, as well as makeup wearers.&lt;/p&gt;
  2260. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What we loved:&lt;/strong&gt; This is one of those effortless products that knows its job and does it well. It&amp;#8217;s a luxurious feel and a versatile product that&amp;#8217;s worth the investment.&lt;/p&gt;
  2261. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What we didn&amp;#8217;t:&lt;/strong&gt; Whilst the versatility is great, using it as a face mask did leave me feeling oily. There may be better options for oily or sensitive skin types, and the price point is definitely on the higher end.&lt;/p&gt;
  2262. &lt;/div&gt;
  2263. &lt;/div&gt;
  2264. &lt;/div&gt;
  2266.

  2274.  
  2275.  
  2276.  
  2277. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve tried countless cleansers over the years at various price points, and I switched out my holy grail &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Byoma Oil Cleanser (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://go.skimresources.com?id=34784X1028065&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.co.uk%2Fp%2FBYOMA-Milky-Oil-Cleanser-100ml&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesun.co.uk%2Fshopping%2F32673766%2Felemis-pro-collagen-cleansing-balm-review%2F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Byoma Oil Cleanser&lt;/a&gt; for the Pro-Collagen Balm for this review.&lt;/p&gt;
  2278.  
  2279.  
  2280.  
  2281. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve been using the balm as my first cleanse daily, and as someone who struggles with dry skin (particularly during winter), I kept an eye on the longer-term impact it&amp;#8217;s had on my skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  2282.

  2293. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How much is the Elemis&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30?&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;The 50ml tub that we tested costs a mammoth £98 at full price, and even the tiny 15ml version will cost you £38.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2294. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who&amp;#8217;s it best for?&lt;/strong&gt; It&amp;#8217;s best suited for dry or mature skin types looking for a lightweight yet hydrating moisturiser that also provides daily sun protection.&lt;/p&gt;
  2295. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What we loved:&lt;/strong&gt; It&amp;#8217;s extremely hydrating, which is a welcome relief when you have dry skin. This is the product we found ourselves turning to in summer, when we experienced dryer skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  2296. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What we didn&amp;#8217;t: &lt;/strong&gt;It&amp;#8217;s certainly a premium price tag, and it&amp;#8217;s quite lightweight, so it may not be rich enough for very dry skin, especially in the winter.&lt;/p&gt;
  2297. &lt;/div&gt;
  2298. &lt;/div&gt;

  2319.  
  2320.  
  2321.  
  2322. &lt;p&gt;I added the &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4lIUtv8&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Elemis Pro-Collagen Balm&lt;/a&gt; to my skincare routine around three months ago, and it&amp;#8217;s here to stay.&lt;/p&gt;
  2323.  
  2324.  
  2325.  
  2326. &lt;p&gt;As one of the only cleansers I&amp;#8217;ve used that truly leaves my skin feeling brighter and softer immediately after using, I can see why it&amp;#8217;s one of the top contenders in the beauty world.&lt;/p&gt;
  2327.  
  2328.  
  2329.  
  2330. &lt;p&gt;The soft balm texture becomes an oil once it&amp;#8217;s warmed in the hands, and transforms into a rich milk when mixed with water.&lt;/p&gt;
  2331.  
  2332.  
  2333.  
  2334. &lt;p&gt;I use it as my first cleanse, following up with a second cleanser before my serums and moisturiser.&lt;/p&gt;
  2335.  
  2336.  
  2337.  
  2338. &lt;p&gt;It can also be applied to clean skin for 10-15 minutes as a nourishing mask.&lt;/p&gt;
  2339.  
  2340.  
  2341.  
  2342. &lt;p&gt;I tried the product as a mask a couple of times, but I found that using it as a cleanser left my skin hydrated enough without needing the extra step.&lt;/p&gt;
  2343.  
  2344.  
  2345.  
  2346. &lt;p&gt;As it&amp;#8217;s quite fragranced, those with sensitive or acne-prone skin may not respond well to leaving the balm on for extended periods, but the &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4lIUtv8&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Elemis Pro-Collagen Naked Cleansing Balm&lt;/a&gt; is an alternative specifically for sensitive skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  2347.  
  2348.  
  2349.  
  2350. &lt;p&gt;I love that the cleanser gives an extra moisture boost, and doesn&amp;#8217;t leave me crying out for a face cream immediately after use.&lt;/p&gt;
  2351.

  2373.  
  2374.  
  2375.  
  2376. &lt;p&gt;Since it&amp;#8217;s been all over my social media for years I&amp;#8217;m familiar with Elemis&amp;#8217; packaging, but I was pleasantly surprised by the size.&lt;/p&gt;
  2377.  
  2378.  
  2379.  
  2380. &lt;p&gt;I love skincare that comes in a tub as you can get out every drop of the product before needing to restock.&lt;/p&gt;
  2381.  
  2382.  
  2383.  
  2384. &lt;p&gt;I own the 100g tub, and it&amp;#8217;s clear from the small amount I&amp;#8217;ve used so far that it&amp;#8217;ll last months, as a little goes a long way.&lt;/p&gt;
  2385.  
  2386.  
  2387.  
  2388. &lt;p&gt;One thing that&amp;#8217;s put me off cleansing balms in the past is a firm texture that needs to be vigorously warmed in the hands before it&amp;#8217;s any use (I&amp;#8217;m looking at you, &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Clinique Take The Day Off (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3PGR8P6&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Clinique Take The Day Off&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
  2389.  
  2390.  
  2391.  
  2392. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully, Elemis&amp;#8217; balm has a creamy texture that comes right off into your hands, and it really does feel luxurious.&lt;/p&gt;
  2393.  
  2394.  
  2395.  
  2396. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m not typically a fan of scented skincare so I found the combination of lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus to be overpowering at first, but now it&amp;#8217;s one of my favourite features — it really does smell like a spa in a bottle.&lt;/p&gt;
  2397.  
  2398.  
  2399.  
  2400. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s made with a blend of nine essential oils designed to &amp;#8216;invigorate the senses&amp;#8217;, and it creates a relaxing atmosphere that makes the whole experience of removing make-up more enjoyable.&lt;/p&gt;
  2401.  
  2402.

  2404. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Performance&lt;/h3&gt;

  2409.  
  2410.  
  2411.  
  2412. &lt;p&gt;My usual routine consists of using an oil cleanser first, following up with my &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Byoma Jelly Cleanser (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://go.skimresources.com?id=34784X1028065&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fbyoma-creamy-jelly-cleanser-175ml-10307028&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesun.co.uk%2Fshopping%2F32673766%2Felemis-pro-collagen-cleansing-balm-review%2F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Byoma Jelly Cleanser&lt;/a&gt;, which tested well in our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/product-reviews/18617601/byoma-review/&quot;&gt;Byoma review&lt;/a&gt;, and then serums and moisturiser.&lt;/p&gt;
  2413.  
  2414.  
  2415.  
  2416. &lt;p&gt;As per the recommended guidance, I applied the product to my dry face and neck, massaging it in circular motions before wiping away any residue with a wet, warm cloth.&lt;/p&gt;
  2417.  
  2418.  
  2419.  
  2420. &lt;p&gt;While the balm can be applied directly to the face, I preferred warming it up slightly in my hands before working it into the skin.&lt;/p&gt;

  2438. &lt;/div&gt;
  2439.  
  2440.  
  2441.  
  2442. &lt;p&gt;I was impressed by how easily my make-up melted away every time, even when I was wearing waterproof mascara.&lt;/p&gt;
  2443.  
  2444.  
  2445.  
  2446. &lt;p&gt;I would recommend using a cloth rather than your hands to wash away the product, as it would be easy enough to leave oil residue on the face if not thoroughly removed, which could lead to breakouts. &lt;/p&gt;
  2447.  
  2448.  
  2449.  
  2450. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m usually rushing to apply moisturiser at this point as my face can feel tight and dry after cleansing. &lt;/p&gt;
  2451.  
  2452.  
  2453.  
  2454. &lt;p&gt;However, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://go.skimresources.com/?id=34784X1028065&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lookfantastic.com%2Fp%2Felemis-pro-collagen-cleansing-balm-100g%2F14940276%2F&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesun.co.uk%2Fshopping%2F32673766%2Felemis-pro-collagen-cleansing-balm-review-uk%2F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Elemis balm (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Elemis balm&lt;/a&gt; is one of the few cleansers that leaves my skin feeling hydrated rather than stripped of moisture, and I&amp;#8217;ve noticed a glowy finish to my complexion that actually lasts.&lt;/p&gt;
  2455.  
  2456.  
  2457.  
  2458. &lt;p&gt;A little really does go a long way with this product.&lt;/p&gt;
  2459.  
  2460.  
  2461.  
  2462. &lt;p&gt;I only needed to use a small amount to cleanse my whole face, and if you want to get the best bang for your buck, it&amp;#8217;s definitely worth warming it into an oil to spread it as far as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  2463.  
  2464.  
  2465.  
  2466. &lt;p&gt;I used the Elemis balm as a face mask on a couple of occasions, leaving it on my skin for the recommended 15 minutes. &lt;/p&gt;
  2467.  
  2468.  
  2469.  
  2470. &lt;p&gt;This could be a useful step if your skin is screaming out for some hydration, but I found that using it daily as a cleanser was nourishing enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  2471.

  2485.  
  2486.  
  2487.  
  2488. &lt;p&gt;My skin also felt slightly greasy after using the balm as a mask, even after properly washing it off.&lt;/p&gt;
  2489.  
  2490.  
  2491.  
  2492. &lt;p&gt;While the £49 price tag for a 100g tub isn&amp;#8217;t the cheapest, I expect it to be using the same tub for several months, so it&amp;#8217;s more cost-effective than I anticipated (plus, it&amp;#8217;s currently on sale).&lt;/p&gt;
  2493.  
  2494.  
  2495.  
  2496. &lt;p&gt;As the consistency is rich and hydrating, my dry skin has loved the balm so far, but I can see the product working as a first cleanse for all skin types.&lt;/p&gt;
  2497.  
  2498.  
  2499.  
  2500. &lt;p&gt;Those with mature skin may find the hydration hit needs a bit of extra help with one of the standouts from our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/29755976/best-moisturisers-for-mature-skin/&quot;&gt;best moisturisers for mature skin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  2510. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  2511. Is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Balm worth the price tag? To put it simply, yes. &lt;/p&gt;
  2513. &lt;div&gt;
  2514. &lt;p&gt;There are several reasons why I can confidently confirm that the cleanser has earned its bestseller status; the first being that it does exactly what it says on the tin.&lt;/p&gt;
  2515. &lt;p&gt;It really does melt away make-up, so there will never be any need to scrub when you&amp;#8217;re removing stubborn mascara. &lt;/p&gt;
  2516. &lt;p&gt;My skin felt nourished after using it, too, as it doesn&amp;#8217;t strip away its natural moisture, and the smell really is divine.&lt;/p&gt;
  2517. &lt;p&gt;I also love that you can get every bit of the product out of the tub to save any wastage. &lt;/p&gt;
  2518. &lt;p&gt;Beauty fans who are unsure whether to take the plunge can try out one of the smaller sizes, so you don&amp;#8217;t need to commit to the £49 price tag right away (the cheapest option is just £13.50).&lt;/p&gt;
  2519. &lt;p&gt;I will be repurchasing my cleansing balm when I finish this tub — the Molly-Mae effect strikes once again!&lt;/p&gt;
  2520. &lt;/div&gt;
  2521. &lt;/div&gt;
  2522. &lt;/div&gt;
  2524.  
  2525.  
  2526.  
  2527. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How much is Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm?&lt;/h2&gt;
  2528.  
  2529.  
  2530.  
  2531. &lt;p&gt;Elemis&amp;#8217; cleansing balm comes in four sizes, with the smallest (20g) costing £14.50.&lt;/p&gt;
  2532.  
  2533.  
  2534.  
  2535. &lt;p&gt;I tested out the full-size 100g tub which costs £52, and probably works out as the most cost-effective.&lt;/p&gt;
  2536.  
  2537.  
  2538.  
  2539. &lt;p&gt;Those looking to test the product without committing to a full-size can pick up a 50g tub for £31.&lt;/p&gt;
  2540.  
  2541.  
  2542.  
  2543. &lt;p&gt;Die-hard fans of the product can also shop an &lt;a aria-label=&quot;extra-large 200g version (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.lookfantastic.com/p/elemis-pro-collagen-cleansing-balm-200g/14967175/?affil=awin&amp;amp;utm_content=Skimlinks&amp;amp;utm_term=Sub+Networks&amp;amp;utm_source=AWin_78888&amp;amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;amp;utm_campaign=AffiliateWin&amp;amp;sv_campaign_id=78888&amp;amp;sv_tax1=affiliate&amp;amp;sv_tax2=11309%7C723875&amp;amp;sv_tax3=Skimlinks&amp;amp;sv_tax4=thesun.co.uk&amp;amp;sv_affiliate_id=78888&amp;amp;awc=2082_1758624985_cd26b56b0e4924d6259caa2565684c53&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;extra-large 200g version&lt;/a&gt; for £86.&lt;/p&gt;

  2703.  
  2704.  
  2705.  
  2706. &lt;p&gt;She recently&lt;span&gt; replaced Dani Dyer, who quit after the first episode of the series due to an injury.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2707.  
  2708.  
  2709.  
  2710. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/amber-davies/&quot;&gt;Amber, 28,&lt;/a&gt; instantly became the joint female favourite, alongside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/vicky-pattison/&quot;&gt;Vicky Pattison&lt;/a&gt;, who are both 5/1 with Ladbrokes.&lt;/p&gt;
  2711.  
  2712.  
  2713.  
  2714. &lt;p&gt;Chatter on social media soon turned to how she is so experienced, following her signing, with fans slamming Strictly and plunging it into another fix row.&lt;/p&gt;
  2715.  
  2716.  
  2717.  
  2718. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on This Morning today about her prior experience and the backlash she received, Amber has set the record street.&lt;/p&gt;
  2719.  
  2720.  
  2721.  
  2722. &lt;p&gt;Host of the show Ben said to Amber: &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;re a professional performer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2723.  
  2724.  
  2725.  
  2726. &lt;p&gt;Cat later added: &amp;#8220;You have experience of dancing,&amp;#8221; to which Amber replied, &amp;#8220;Yes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2727.  
  2728.  
  2729.  
  2730. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But you&amp;#8217;re not a ballroom dancer, you&amp;#8217;ve never done the samba before,&amp;#8221; Cat added.&lt;/p&gt;
  2731.  
  2732.  
  2733.  
  2734. &lt;p&gt;Amber quickly affirmed: &amp;#8220;No, no, no.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2735.  
  2736.  
  2737.  
  2738. &lt;p&gt;She then added: &amp;#8220;Also, I wanna say, I think the ballroom and Latin community know that musical &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/theatre/&quot;&gt;theatre&lt;/a&gt; is world&amp;#8217;s apart [from ballroom dancing].&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2739.  
  2740.  
  2741.  
  2742. &lt;p&gt;Ben then asked her how she feels when people say she&amp;#8217;s a professional dancer and shouldn&amp;#8217;t be on the show.&lt;/p&gt;

  2767.  
  2768.  
  2769.  
  2770. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But, there&amp;#8217;s a great example. Yesterday we were doing our American Smooth, and even just walking left right, left right, brought me to tears.&lt;/p&gt;
  2771.  
  2772.  
  2773.  
  2774. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s so much more complicated than you can imagine.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2775.  
  2776.  
  2777.  
  2778. &lt;p&gt;Nikita then explained it was &amp;#8220;three steps&amp;#8221; and can be &amp;#8220;really difficult&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  2818.  
  2819.  
  2820.  
  2821. &lt;p&gt;This comes after we revealed that when Amber joined the show, her co-stars were not impressed. &lt;/p&gt;
  2822.  
  2823.  
  2824.  
  2825. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider said at the time: “The celebs are trying to be good sports about everything and don’t want to let on to show bosses they’re unhappy.&lt;/p&gt;
  2826.  
  2827.  
  2828.  
  2829. &lt;p&gt;“But behind the scenes, all the chatter is they think it’s unfair that the line-up now includes two sensational dancers who have substantial experience on stage.&lt;/p&gt;
  2830.  
  2831.  
  2832.  
  2833. &lt;p&gt;“Having one celeb with that kind of background is one thing but having two is seen as unfair, particularly if they both ended up in the final.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2834.  
  2835.

  2838.  
  2839.  
  2840.  
  2841. &lt;p&gt;North Wales-born Amber, who at 16 gained a ­scholarship to train in musical theatre at London’s Urdang performing arts academy, will partner Ukrainian Nikita, 27, and they will perform a waltz.&lt;/p&gt;
  2842.  
  2843.  
  2844.  
  2845. &lt;p&gt;She said after the announcement: “I’ve watched Strictly with my family since I was younger and to now be part of the show is a dream come true.”&lt;/p&gt;

  2893. &lt;p&gt;In the last week, the broadcasting regulator received 81  complaints about the E4 reality show &amp;#8211; the majority of which related to groom Steven Springett&amp;#8217;s&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36922179/mafs-steven-hits-back-disrespectful-misogynistic-abusive-fans/&quot;&gt; behaviour towards his wife Nelly Patel.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  2913. &lt;p&gt;As the couples arrived for a dinner party, Steven stormed off set and called show stars like Julia-Ruth and Maeve Mathieson a &amp;#8220;bunch of c***s&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2914.  
  2915.  
  2916.  
  2917. &lt;p&gt;The following day, Nelly tried to speak to him about it again.&lt;/p&gt;
  2918.  
  2919.  
  2920.  
  2921. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36900067/mafs-fans-urge-run-nelly-as-steven-calls-idiot/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;During a heated exchange in their bedroom&lt;/a&gt;, Steven blasted: “I get bored of saying the same thing over and over again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2922.  
  2923.  
  2924.  
  2925. &lt;p&gt;Nelly responded: “You keep saying that”, to which Steven fired back: “Well, don’t antagonise me then!”&lt;/p&gt;
  2926.  
  2927.  
  2928.  
  2929. &lt;p&gt;Shocked, she said: “Don’t raise your voice at me, before Steven replied: “F**king idiot”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2930.  
  2931.  
  2932.  
  2933. &lt;p&gt;At the commitment ceremony that followed, Nelly revealed what he had called her, and Steven tried to backtrack on what he&amp;#8217;d said.&lt;/p&gt;
  2934.  
  2935.  
  2936.  
  2937. &lt;p&gt;However, show expert &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/15928852/mafs-hit-ofcom-complaints-fans-slam-experts-bullying-bride/&quot;&gt;Mel Schilling&lt;/a&gt; called Steven out on it, and he eventually admitted that he&amp;#8217;d been feeling overwhelmed that week due to his stepdad being in hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  2938.  
  2939.  
  2940.  
  2941. &lt;p&gt;After Steven broke down in tears and promised he would get back to who he was before, the couple agreed to stay in the experiment.&lt;/p&gt;

  2965. &lt;p&gt;Taking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; after the ceremony, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36903386/mafs-star-steven-issues-apology-explosive-outburst/&quot;&gt;Nelly posted&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;This last commitment ceremony was a difficult one for us.&lt;/p&gt;
  2966.  
  2967.  
  2968.  
  2969. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Although I hated seeing Steven cry, it was the first time I’d seen him show me a more emotional side. &lt;/p&gt;
  2970.  
  2971.  
  2972.  
  2973. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Seeing that other side to him wasn’t easy &amp;#8211; and it came after behaviour that no one should ever have to tolerate in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  2974.  
  2975.  
  2976.  
  2977. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But he assured me that it wasn’t the real him. That the real Steven was the one I met on our wedding day, the one I grew close to on our honeymoon, and I didn’t want to throw something potentially magical away.&lt;/p&gt;
  2978.  
  2979.  
  2980.  
  2981. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I took a big risk, decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, and fight for our marriage. &lt;/p&gt;
  2982.  
  2983.  
  2984.  
  2985. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Seeing that vulnerable side gave me hope that maybe, just maybe, we could build again and find our way back to where we were just a couple of weeks ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  2986.  
  2987.  
  2988.  
  2989. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I chose to stay, and to show up for our marriage. To everyone following my journey: &lt;/p&gt;
  2990.  
  2991.  
  2992.  
  2993. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I promised to be real and raw throughout this experiment with you all. This is me sharing how I truly felt in that moment, and staying honest to the process.&lt;/p&gt;
  2994.  
  2995.  
  2996.  
  2997. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you all for your support, and for allowing me to be so open with you xxx.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2998.  
  2999.  
  3000.  
  3001. &lt;p&gt;Fans flocked to the comments section to voice their opinions and one wrote: &amp;#8220;Not convinced about this guy. I think he&amp;#8217;s got a very dark side to his personality that&amp;#8217;s very worrying.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3002.  
  3003.  
  3004.  
  3005. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;You’re amazing but he didn’t deserve a second chance.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3006.  
  3007.  
  3008.  
  3009. &lt;p&gt;While a third said: &amp;#8220;Any man who spoke to me the way he spoke to you would be deleted and blocked. &lt;/p&gt;
  3010.  
  3011.  
  3012.  
  3013. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Your dignity and respect is not worth staying on a TV show for &amp;#8211; hold your head high, realise your self-worth and leave now. &lt;/p&gt;
  3014.  
  3015.  
  3016.  
  3017. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Any man who will treat you like that once will do it again and that is his real character- read all these comments and see the light.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3115. &lt;p&gt;Want to come and join us and make memories with your fellow Sun Bingo players? Here’s one of the ways that you can win your tickets.&lt;/p&gt;
  3116.  
  3117.

  3119. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/1500x1000_article_sts-98.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Advert for &amp;quot;All Star Hotel Bingo Session&amp;quot; with a woman holding a &amp;quot;Guest List Bingo&amp;quot; sign.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943336&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

  3124.  
  3125.  
  3126.  
  3127. &lt;p&gt;During the promotional period, Sun Bingo will be putting on a weekly All Star Bingo Session where you can win tickets for yourself and a plus one to join us in Blackpool. &lt;/p&gt;
  3128.  
  3129.  
  3130.  
  3131. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sun-bingo/20132061/jackpot-king-deluxe-win-millionaire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;THESE SLOTS HAVE A JACKPOT WORTH OVER £2.1 MILLION&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3132.  
  3133.  
  3134.  
  3135. &lt;p&gt;Each Tuesday between 7:30pm and 8:30pm, head over to the Guestlist Room. During this session, there will be 10 bingo games. For each game, there’ll be a 1L prize of £10, 2L prize of £15 and a full house prize of £25 in cash. &lt;/p&gt;
  3136.  
  3137.  
  3138.  
  3139. &lt;p&gt;However, in the last three games of the session, things heat up. That full house prize becomes two tickets to the All Star Hotel! &lt;/p&gt;
  3140.  
  3141.  
  3142.  
  3143. &lt;p&gt;To come along and play for your chance to join the bingo bash of the year, first you’ll need to qualify. That’s easy to do. Simply enter that week’s code into Sun Bingo and stake £15 in cash on bingo. &lt;/p&gt;
  3144.  
  3145.  
  3146.  
  3147. &lt;p&gt;Then, you’ll be able to join the next Tuesday evening bingo session. &lt;/p&gt;

  3480.  
  3481.  
  3482.  
  3483. &lt;p&gt;These special areas in store will feature discounted bread, fresh produce, and other perishable items nearing their use-by date. &lt;/p&gt;
  3484.  
  3485.  
  3486.  
  3487. &lt;p&gt;Items are discounted throughout the day, offering shoppers the chance to save on products that might otherwise go unsold.&lt;/p&gt;
  3488.  
  3489.  
  3490.  
  3491. &lt;p&gt;The Sun has asked Aldi how much products will be discounted by and will update this piece when we hear more. &lt;/p&gt;
  3492.  
  3493.  
  3494.  
  3495. &lt;p&gt;Luke Emery, national sustainability director at Aldi UK, said: “Our customers already know they can rely on us to provide unbeatable value, but our new reduction areas will make it even easier to pick up a last-minute bargain.&lt;/p&gt;
  3496.  
  3497.  
  3498.  
  3499. &lt;p&gt;“By creating dedicated reduction zones in store, we’re helping point shoppers towards quality food at cheaper prices, all while cutting down on food waste.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3500.  
  3501.  
  3502.  
  3503. &lt;p&gt;It comes as the popular chain was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36896040/cheapest-supermarket-71-items-revealed/&quot;&gt;recently crowned the UK&amp;#8217;s cheapest supermarket&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  3507. &lt;p&gt;Analysis from consumer champion Which? found Aldi was the best value chain to do a grocery shop. &lt;/p&gt;
  3508.  
  3509.  
  3510.  
  3511. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In September, a shopping list of 71 items at&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;cost £122.77 on average.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3512.  
  3513.  
  3514.  
  3515. &lt;p&gt;That is compared to Tesco which charged £135.64 for the same amount of similar items. &lt;/p&gt;
  3516.  
  3517.  
  3518.  
  3519. &lt;p&gt;Aldi&amp;#8217;s reduction zones join a host of other money saving schemes offered by the store. &lt;/p&gt;

  3622. &lt;p&gt;KATE McCann today told a court the &amp;#8220;final straw&amp;#8221; from an alleged stalker claiming to be Madeleine was when she messaged the missing youngster&amp;#8217;s sister.&lt;/p&gt;

  3639.  
  3640.  
  3641.  
  3642. &lt;p&gt;The 24-year-old falsely claimed she was Madeleine, who vanished from on holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
  3643.  
  3644.  
  3645.  
  3646. &lt;p&gt;She believed she had memories of&amp;nbsp;the three-year-old&amp;#8217;s childhood and disappearance before being supposedly trafficked to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/poland/&quot;&gt;Poland&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3647.  
  3648.  
  3649.  
  3650. &lt;p&gt;Kate is giving evidence behind a screen today at Leicester Crown Court.&lt;/p&gt;
  3651.  
  3652.  
  3653.  
  3654. &lt;p&gt;She told jurors she first became aware of Wandelt in 2022 after she phoned Gerry at the hospital he works at.&lt;/p&gt;
  3655.  
  3656.  
  3657.  
  3658. &lt;p&gt;The mum said Wandelt had also emailed the Find Madeleine campaign but she received no direct contact herself until 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  3659.  
  3660.  
  3661.  
  3662. &lt;p&gt;Kate said police officers investigating Madeleine&amp;#8217;s disappearance sent her and Gerry of the alleged stalker after she claimed she was the missing youngster.&lt;/p&gt;
  3663.  
  3664.  
  3665.  
  3666. &lt;p&gt;Both parents concluded she was not Madeleine but Wandelt continued to contact them &amp;#8211; claiming: &amp;#8220;I never lied, I&amp;#8217;m not crazy, please let me prove it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3667.  
  3668.  
  3669.  
  3670. &lt;p&gt;She also allegedly left a voicemail on Kate&amp;#8217;s phone, saying: &amp;#8220;If I am her, then everything should be OK but if I&amp;#8217;m not, which you probably think, then I&amp;#8217;ll leave you alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  3671.  
  3672.  
  3673.  
  3674. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know my accent is Polish because I live here&amp;#8230; I&amp;#8217;m not pretty like Madeleine but I know what I know and I know and what I remember.&lt;/p&gt;
  3675.  
  3676.  
  3677.  
  3678. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Please give me a chance, you don&amp;#8217;t give up on your daughter, I&amp;#8217;m not crazy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3679.  
  3680.  
  3681.  
  3682. &lt;p&gt;Kate told the court she &amp;#8220;didn&amp;#8217;t want to engage&amp;#8221; but almost agreed to a DNA test as Wandelt&amp;#8217;s campaign was &amp;#8220;getting to me&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3683.  
  3684.  
  3685.  
  3686. &lt;p&gt;Jurors heard Wandelt also showed up uninvited at the annual vigil for Madeleine, in the McCann’s village of Rothley, Leics, which Kate and Gerry by chance did not attend, in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  3687.  
  3688.  
  3689.  
  3690. &lt;p&gt;The mum said: “I was relieved I wasn’t there.&lt;/p&gt;
  3691.  
  3692.  
  3693.  
  3694. &lt;p&gt;“It’s a hard experience anyway having the gathering &amp;#8211; I would have been really upset and it would’ve taken away from the reason we were there.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3695.  
  3696.  
  3697.  
  3698. &lt;p&gt;She said the &amp;#8220;final straw&amp;#8221; came when she discovered Wandelt had allegedly messaged her 20-year-old daughter, Amelie.&lt;/p&gt;
  3699.  
  3700.  
  3701.  
  3702. &lt;p&gt;Kate told jurors she went to police to discuss the case after that.&lt;/p&gt;
  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706. &lt;p&gt;Jurors heard how Wandelt tried to persuade “anybody prepared to listen” that she was the British toddler.&lt;/p&gt;
  3707.  
  3708.  
  3709.  
  3710. &lt;p&gt;The alleged stalker, from Lubin in south west Poland, burst into tears and had to take a 10-minute break after the court was told she is not Madeleine.&lt;/p&gt;
  3711.  
  3712.  
  3713.  
  3714. &lt;p&gt;Mr Duck added: “There could never have been a legitimate belief by Julia Wandelt that she was Madeleine McCann.&lt;/p&gt;
  3715.  
  3716.  
  3717.  
  3718. &lt;p&gt;“At the time of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, Julia Wandelt was not of the same age.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3719.  
  3720.  
  3721.  
  3722. &lt;p&gt;The court heard she compared herself to images of Madeleine and tried to convince the younger McCann daughter, Amelie, they were related.&lt;/p&gt;
  3723.  
  3724.  
  3725.  
  3726. &lt;p&gt;She even signed letters to the McCann family from Madeleine, it was said.&lt;/p&gt;
  3727.  
  3728.  
  3729.  
  3730. &lt;p&gt;Mr Duck said the “well-planned campaign of harassment” had a “substantial adverse effect on the day-to-day activities” of the McCann parents.&lt;/p&gt;
  3731.  
  3732.  
  3733.  
  3734. &lt;p&gt;The court head Wandelt initially called the hospital where they work and emailed the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/page/47/&quot;&gt;Met Police&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;investigation codenamed Operation Grange.&lt;/p&gt;
  3735.  
  3736.  
  3737.  
  3738. &lt;p&gt;She later messaged Gerry: “In June 2022 I started to think maybe I am Madeleine McCann. I am not joking, please take this seriously.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3739.  
  3740.  
  3741.  
  3742. &lt;p&gt;Jurors heard she went on to call and message Kate over 60 times during a single day in April 2024, writing: “I never lied. I am not crazy. Please let me prove it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3743.  
  3744.  
  3745.  
  3746. &lt;p&gt;Recorded voicemail messages were played in court where Wandelt was heard pleading: “I beg you, you are my real mother, I remember you and our home, give me a chance to prove it&lt;/p&gt;
  3747.  
  3748.  
  3749.  
  3750. &lt;p&gt;“You are mummy. You know it’s me. I remember how you hugged me and a pink teddy bear.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3751.  
  3752.  
  3753.  
  3754. &lt;p&gt;Mr Duck said: “One of the many tragic consequences for Madeleine’s parents has been their consequent inability to escape that unwanted glare of publicity that came with that tragedy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3755.  
  3756.  
  3757.  
  3758. &lt;p&gt;“Their faces have become immediately recognisable to a worldwide audience and the attention they have received has not always been compassionate. Far from it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3759.  
  3760.  
  3761.  
  3762. &lt;p&gt;“They have been embraced by millions of people around the world who sympathise with their position. But there remains a group of individuals which continues to fail to acknowledge their plight and perpetuates conspiracy theories which simply heap further misery upon them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3763.

  3765.  
  3766. &lt;p&gt;“Unfortunately, these two defendants belong to that latter group &amp;#8211; but as far as they are concerned, their observations and behaviour are not an offhand comments or a Facebook/Instagram posting, but a well-planned campaign of harassment which extended, in Julia Wandelt’s case, for over two-and-half years.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3825.  
  3826. &lt;p&gt;VIOLENT chants made by Gaza protesters terrorising city centres face a fresh crackdown.&lt;/p&gt;
  3827.  
  3828.  
  3829.  
  3830. &lt;p&gt;Sir &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/keir-starmer/&quot;&gt;Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt; last night pledged to “review public order powers” so &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; can stop activists calling for a “global intifada” and threatening the safety of British Jews.&lt;/p&gt;
  3831.  
  3832.  
  3833.  
  3834. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36943272&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/second-anniversary-hamas-attack-nova-1029621989.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A large crowd of pro-Palestine students protest at the London School of Economics, holding Palestinian flags.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943272&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Pro-Palestine students stage a protest at London School of Economics (LSE) on the second anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel[/caption]
  3835.  
  3836.  
  3837.  
  3838. &lt;p&gt;Sir Keir also admitted for the first time that more “action” is needed to tackle the growing threat of Islamist extremism in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  3839.  
  3840.  
  3841.  
  3842. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on the flight to Mumbai, where he will meet Indian President Narendra Modi, the PM said: “Obviously operational matters are very much a matter for the police, so there&amp;#8217;s only so much the government can do.&lt;/p&gt;
  3843.  
  3844.  
  3845.  
  3846. &lt;p&gt;“But I do think we need to have a conversation with various police forces about the way in which these are being policed and what measures can be taken.&lt;/p&gt;
  3847.  
  3848.  
  3849.  
  3850. &lt;p&gt;“That has to be part of the &lt;span id=&quot;56bc14ad-e95b-40a3-bf21-32553093f787&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;review&lt;/span&gt; that we carry into what powers do we have and how they&amp;#8217;re being exercised.&lt;/p&gt;
  3851.  
  3852.  
  3853.  
  3854. &lt;p&gt;“And then the question of do any of these powers therefore need to be changed or enhanced? And that&amp;#8217;s the exercise we&amp;#8217;re going through.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3855.  
  3856.  
  3857.  
  3858. &lt;p&gt;The move follows the shocking murder of two people on Yom Kippur and comes after thousands of students marked the second anniversary of October 7 by staging aggressive rallies and marching through cities. &lt;/p&gt;
  3859.  
  3860.  
  3861.  
  3862. &lt;p&gt;Sir Keir has faced anger from Jewish community leaders and MPs for failing to curb endless “hate marches”, where left-wing activists and Islamist extremists have chanted for global violence in response to the Israel-Gaza war.&lt;/p&gt;
  3863.  
  3864.  
  3865.  
  3866. &lt;p&gt;Pro-Palestine demonstrations have also seen crowds waving antisemitic placards and calling for the destruction of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/israel/&quot;&gt;Israel&lt;/a&gt;, the world’s only Jewish state.&lt;/p&gt;
  3867.  
  3868.  
  3869.  
  3870. &lt;p&gt;Under a new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/home-office/&quot;&gt;Home Office&lt;/a&gt; plan announced after the Yom Kippur killings, police will be able to block or relocate protests by taking into account the “cumulative impact” of weeks of disruption and unrest.&lt;/p&gt;
  3871.  
  3872.  
  3873.  
  3874. &lt;p&gt;But pressure is mounting on the PM to go further and faster – and to deal with the rise in Islamist extremism at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  3875.  
  3876.  
  3877.  
  3878. &lt;p&gt;Asked last night what &lt;span id=&quot;f6a7ded1-de38-426c-b173-1a09fd2dc971&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;steps&lt;/span&gt; he is taking, Sir Keir told The Sun: “I do think there are actions that we need to take and that is what we will do.&lt;/p&gt;
  3879.  
  3880.  
  3881.  
  3882. &lt;p&gt;“Obviously, we’re looking at cumulative impacts in relation to protests.&lt;/p&gt;
  3883.  
  3884.  
  3885.  
  3886. &lt;p&gt;“I think we need to review more broadly public order powers and there will be a series of actions that we will agree in due course across Whitehall.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  3951.  
  3952.  
  3953.  
  3954. &lt;p&gt;In a clip shown on her new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-one/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; reality TV series, Stacey&lt;span&gt; &amp;amp; Joe&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/stacey-solomon/&quot;&gt;Stacey&lt;/a&gt;, 36, admitted she was &amp;#8220;sick to death&amp;#8221; of being &amp;#8220;the internet police.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3955.  
  3956.  
  3957.  
  3958. &lt;p&gt;She told how she was forced to turn off the devices of her eldest sons  repeatedly before she took more pressing action.&lt;/p&gt;
  3959.  
  3960.  
  3961.  
  3962. &lt;p&gt;In a clip showing her and Zach, 17, in her people carrier he is heard complaining about the WiFi not working.&lt;/p&gt;
  3963.  
  3964.  
  3965.  
  3966. &lt;p&gt;After the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sort-your-life-out/&quot;&gt;Sort Your Life Out&lt;/a&gt; anchor asks what time it went down he said: &amp;#8220;Just before I saw you, 10pm.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3967.  
  3968.  
  3969.  
  3970. &lt;p&gt;Stacey said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve had it cut off,&amp;#8221; which prompted a startled look on his face.&lt;/p&gt;
  3971.  
  3972.  
  3973.  
  3974. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;What do you mean?&amp;#8221; as she replied: &amp;#8220;I have had it cut off after 10pm.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3975.  
  3976.  
  3977.  
  3978. &lt;p&gt;This prompted Zach to say: &amp;#8220;Really? Is that what it was. I was wondering what was going on.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3979.  
  3980.  
  3981.  
  3982. &lt;p&gt;In a piece to camera alongside husband Joe Swash, Stacey said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m happy for them to play games but there&amp;#8217;s got to be a cut off.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3983.  
  3984.  
  3985.  
  3986. &lt;p&gt;The scenes then pan back to Stacey in the car who likens monitoring the pair&amp;#8217;s online antics akin to &amp;#8220;having another newborn bahy in the house.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3987.  
  3988.  
  3989.  
  3990. &lt;p&gt;She then clarified how she had only cut off the internet Sunday night to Thursday night.&lt;/p&gt;

  4015.  
  4016.  
  4017.  
  4018. &lt;p&gt;The pair then row about his struggles sleeping before Stacey insists: &amp;#8220;I am still in charge of you, and you are still living under my roof.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4022. &lt;p&gt;Zach then argues: &amp;#8220;Me and Leighton are literally at college, what&amp;#8217;s the point of setting this now?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4023.  
  4024.  
  4025.  
  4026. &lt;p&gt;Juggling making her argument with driving, Stacey added: &amp;#8220;Because I still don&amp;#8217;t think you should be on it until stupid o&amp;#8217;clock in the morning.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4038. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  4039. Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers&amp;#039; screens for over a decade. Let&amp;#039;s take a look back at her career. &lt;/p&gt;
  4041. &lt;div&gt;
  4042. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The X Factor&lt;/strong&gt; (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; ITV &lt;/a&gt;singing competition &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-x-factor/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The X Factor.&lt;/a&gt; During her time in the show, she was mentored by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dannii-minogue/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Danni Minogue&lt;/a&gt; in the &amp;#8216;Girls&amp;#8217; category. The star finished in third place, behind &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joe-mcelderry/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Joe McElderry &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/olly-murs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Olly Murs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4043. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&amp;#8217;m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here&lt;/strong&gt; (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/im-a-celebrity/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;I&amp;#8217;m A Celeb &lt;/a&gt;Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed  to win the tenth series. It was through I&amp;#8217;m A Celeb that she met future husband &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joe-swash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Joe Swash&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; who&amp;#8217;d won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff.&lt;/p&gt;
  4044. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Celebrity Juice&lt;/strong&gt; (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/keith-lemon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; Keith Lemon&lt;/a&gt;. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  4045. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Loose Women&lt;/strong&gt; (2016 &amp;#8211; present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
  4046. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sort Your Life Out &lt;/strong&gt;(2022 -present): This&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; BBC&lt;/a&gt; show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants&amp;#8217; living spaces after removing clutter.&lt;/p&gt;
  4047. &lt;/div&gt;
  4048. &lt;/div&gt;
  4049. &lt;/div&gt;
  4051.  
  4052.  
  4053.  
  4054. &lt;p&gt;He then argues: &amp;#8220;I am not on it until stupid o&amp;#8217;clock in the morning, who do you think I am?&lt;/p&gt;
  4055.  
  4056.  
  4057.  
  4058. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I wouldn&amp;#8217;t be able to wake up if I was.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4059.  
  4060.  
  4061.  
  4062. &lt;p&gt;As the row escalated, Stacey told him how he did struggle to wake up &amp;#8211; before he conceded he could be playing the games until midnight.&lt;/p&gt;
  4063.  
  4064.  
  4065.  
  4066. &lt;p&gt;As the pair waited for an electric gate to open up, Zach promptly hopped out and slammed the car door, shouting &amp;#8220;goodbye&amp;#8221; in the process.&lt;/p&gt;
  4067.  
  4068.  
  4069.  
  4070. &lt;p&gt;Stacey and her husband &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joe-swash/&quot;&gt;Joe,&lt;/a&gt; share children Rex, Rose and Belle as well as her sons Leighton and Zachary from previous relationships.&lt;/p&gt;
  4071.  
  4072.  
  4073.  
  4074. &lt;p&gt;The scenes came after Stacey faced a slew of mum shaming comments of late.&lt;/p&gt;
  4075.  
  4076.  
  4077.  
  4078. &lt;p&gt;Some trolls called her out for&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36926814/stacey-solomon-daughter-rose-london-four-night-birthday/&quot;&gt; splashing out on a £1K a night stay for her four year old daughter.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4079.  
  4080.  
  4081.  
  4082. &lt;p&gt;She was also criticised after she admitted giving &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36940804/stacey-solomon-mum-shamed-soggy-lunches/&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;soggy&amp;#8221; packed lunches to her brood.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  4135. &lt;p&gt;A &amp;#8220;BRAVE and handsome&amp;#8221; man passed away in the arms of his loving wife just a week after starting a treatment plan that was supposed to save his life. &lt;/p&gt;
  4136.  
  4137.  
  4138.  
  4139. &lt;p&gt;Alex Able, from Horsted, Chatham, began experiencing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34841118/shoulder-pain-signs-more-serious-health-problem/&quot;&gt;pain in his shoulder&lt;/a&gt; in September 2023, which he put down to a pulled muscle from over-doing it at the gym. &lt;/p&gt;
  4140.  
  4141.  
  4142.  
  4143. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36942762&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 940px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/seemed-like-lived-thousand-lives-1029694409.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=930&quot; alt=&quot;Alex Able, a 30-year-old man who battled a rare form of cancer.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36942762&quot; width=&quot;930&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Cover Images&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Alex Able, 30, was diagnosed with a cancer so rare, he was the first adult in the UK to have it[/caption]
  4144.  
  4145.  
  4146.  
  4147. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36942766&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 939px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/seemed-like-lived-thousand-lives-1029694343.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=929&quot; alt=&quot;Alex Able and his wife Elle embracing.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36942766&quot; width=&quot;929&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Cover Images&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Alex passed away in his wife Elle&amp;#8217;s arms[/caption]
  4148.  
  4149.  
  4150.  
  4151. &lt;p&gt;But over the coming months, the pain became so excruciating it kept him up all night “sobbing” with discomfort.&lt;/p&gt;
  4152.  
  4153.  
  4154.  
  4155. &lt;p&gt;The family described him as a &amp;#8220;tough bloke&amp;#8221; who was physically very fit and strong, but the pain left him in agony.&lt;/p&gt;
  4156.  
  4157.  
  4158.  
  4159. &lt;p&gt;Despite visits to a physiotherapist and chiropractor, Alex’s pain only worsened. &lt;/p&gt;
  4160.  
  4161.  
  4162.  
  4163. &lt;p&gt;Eventually, he went to Medway Maritime Hospital’s A&amp;amp;E department in November that year, where an MRI scan came back clear. &lt;/p&gt;
  4164.  
  4165.  
  4166.  
  4167. &lt;p&gt;But by the following year, &amp;#8220;he was in more pain than not&amp;#8221;, according to his mum-in-law Katie Dine. &lt;/p&gt;
  4168.  
  4169.  
  4170.  
  4171. &lt;p&gt;In February 2024, his mum, Claudia, demanded another scan. &lt;/p&gt;
  4172.  
  4173.  
  4174.  
  4175. &lt;p&gt;This time, they showed a large tumour in his shoulder, very close to the spinal cord and he was referred to King’s College Hospital in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  4176.  
  4177.  
  4178.  
  4179. &lt;p&gt;Alex underwent surgery to remove the mass and surgeons were able to cut out 90 per cent of it. &lt;/p&gt;
  4180.  
  4181.  
  4182.  
  4183. &lt;p&gt;The remaining 10 per cent was deemed too close to the spinal cord to safely remove.&lt;/p&gt;
  4184.  
  4185.  
  4186.  
  4187. &lt;p&gt;The tumour biopsy was sent off for testing and two weeks later, he received devastating &lt;span id=&quot;e75ba51b-e5ca-47f6-b39d-9ecde9fc49eb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; that sent his and his family&amp;#8217;s world &amp;#8220;crashing down&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;

  4208.  
  4209.  
  4210.  
  4211. &lt;p&gt;Alex was told he had a Rhabdoid tumour &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36173898/single-mum-choice-dead-husbands-baby/&quot;&gt;a type of cancer very rare&lt;/a&gt; in children, and even less common in adults.&lt;/p&gt;
  4212.  
  4213.  
  4214.  
  4215. &lt;p&gt;There have only ever been 11 cases in adults in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europe/&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt;, and Alex is understood to be the first adult diagnosed in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  4216.  
  4217.  
  4218.  
  4219. &lt;p&gt;In July this year, his family set up a fundraiser to help with more treatment after his cancer spread, prompting his team at Guys Hospital in London to cease his therapy.&lt;/p&gt;
  4220.  
  4221.  
  4222.  
  4223. &lt;p&gt;Several medical professionals &amp;#8211; including a specialist from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/germany/&quot;&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; were moved by his story after seeing it shared online and reached out to help create a new treatment plan for him.&lt;/p&gt;

  4228.  
  4229.  
  4230.  
  4231. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36942770&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/seemed-like-lived-thousand-lives-1029694412.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Alex Able sitting in a hospital chair, wearing a Metallica t-shirt, with medical wristbands and an IV dressing.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36942770&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Cover Images&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;His family was given a shred of hope after medical professionals banded together to come up with a novel treatment plan for him[/caption]
  4232.  
  4233.  
  4234.  
  4235. &lt;p&gt;But sadly, after completing the first week, Alex tragically suffered a fatal brain bleed and passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  4236.  
  4237.  
  4238.  
  4239. &lt;p&gt;The 30-year-old “quietly slipped away&amp;#8221; last month, wrapped in the arms of his loving wife, Elle, and surrounded by his devoted family. &lt;/p&gt;
  4240.  
  4241.  
  4242.  
  4243. &lt;p&gt;When Alex was diagnosed with a Rhabdoid tumour &amp;#8211; a rare and aggressive cancer that begins in the kidneys, brain or spinal cord &amp;#8211; he became part of &amp;#8220;an exclusive club [no one] would ever want to be in&amp;#8221;, Katie said, explaining &amp;#8220;there was little to no information available&amp;#8221; about treating the cancer. &lt;/p&gt;
  4244.  
  4245.  
  4246.  
  4247. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Extensive gene testing showed there was no hereditary link, no issues with his liver, he was super fit and healthy &amp;#8211; unfairly, this was just the worst case of bad luck,&amp;#8221; she wrote in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-give-alex-a-chance-rare-cancer-fight&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;GoFundMe&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  4248.  
  4249.  
  4250.  
  4251. &lt;p&gt;Within four weeks of undergoing surgery, Alex&amp;#8217;s tumour had grown back to its original size. &lt;/p&gt;
  4252.  
  4253.  
  4254.  
  4255. &lt;p&gt;As the tumour was dangerously close to his spinal cord, attached to muscles and nerves controlling his arm movement, Alex had to quit work and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt; as he watched his strength and mobility deteriorate. &lt;/p&gt;
  4256.  
  4257.  
  4258.  
  4259. &lt;p&gt;By April this year, Alex was so weak he had to be carried down the stairs from his flat. &lt;/p&gt;
  4260.  
  4261.  
  4262.  
  4263. &lt;p&gt;The cancer spread to his lungs and brain and two new growths in his spine caused him to &amp;#8220;lose all sensation in his legs&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4264.  
  4265.  
  4266.  
  4267. &lt;p&gt;In July, doctors told the family that there was nothing more they could do to stop the spread of Alex&amp;#8217;s cancer. &lt;/p&gt;
  4268.  
  4269.  
  4270.  
  4271. &lt;p&gt;He tragically passed away, just a week after starting a treatment plan that was his last hope. &lt;/p&gt;
  4272.  
  4273.  
  4274.  
  4275. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;A beautiful soul&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4276.  
  4277.  
  4278.  
  4279. &lt;p&gt;Alex&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/funeral/&quot;&gt;funeral&lt;/a&gt; last month was attended by family, friends, work colleagues and schoolmates.&lt;/p&gt;
  4280.  
  4281.  
  4282.  
  4283. &lt;p&gt;Katie said: “The day was everything Alex wanted &amp;#8211; a beautiful day for a truly beautiful soul.&lt;/p&gt;
  4284.  
  4285.  
  4286.  
  4287. &lt;p&gt;“We spent the evening sharing stories and memories. The room was filled with nothing but love for a man we all adored.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4288.  
  4289.  
  4290.  
  4291. &lt;p&gt;Alex was a bike enthusiast, with a passion for Harley-Davidsons, and a huge Metallica fan. &lt;/p&gt;
  4292.  
  4293.  
  4294.  
  4295. &lt;p&gt;He met his wife Elle in 2019 after speaking online, and the smitten couple fell for each other quickly and deeply.&lt;/p&gt;
  4296.  
  4297.  
  4298.  
  4299. &lt;p&gt;After their second date, they had “practically moved in together”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4300.  
  4301.  
  4302.  
  4303. &lt;p&gt;They were engaged within nine months and married within the year, saying ‘I do’ in a small service surrounded by just a few friends in the middle of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4304.  
  4305.  
  4306.  
  4307. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  4308. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  4309. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  4310. &lt;p&gt;We feel like he hasn&amp;#8217;t had an opportunity to live his life. We would have fought to the ends of the earth to give him a chance&lt;/p&gt;
  4311. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;
  4312. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Katie Dine &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;

  4314. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4315. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  4317.  
  4318.  
  4319.  
  4320. &lt;p&gt;One of Alex’s best friends, Billy, said in a tribute: “Alex was incredibly indecisive &amp;#8211; he would agonise over picking out a t-shirt of two virtually identical designs, but when he knew what he wanted, he just went for it.&lt;/p&gt;
  4321.  
  4322.  
  4323.  
  4324. &lt;p&gt;“Elle said at the funeral that maybe the reason everything moved so quickly, which was totally out of character for Alex, was because &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/destiny/&quot;&gt;destiny&lt;/a&gt; knew that they weren&amp;#8217;t going to have a lifetime together.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4325.  
  4326.  
  4327.  
  4328. &lt;p&gt;Before his diagnosis, he, Elle and her parents had plans to move to Shropshire, where her sister, brother-in-law and newborn nephew live.&lt;/p&gt;
  4329.  
  4330.  
  4331.  
  4332. &lt;p&gt;The couple also had dreams of starting a family of their own and travelling. &lt;/p&gt;
  4333.  
  4334.  
  4335.  
  4336. &lt;p&gt;Katie said: “We feel like he hasn&amp;#8217;t had an opportunity to live his life.&lt;/p&gt;
  4337.  
  4338.  
  4339.  
  4340. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We would have fought to the ends of the &lt;span id=&quot;29593aa8-b149-40cd-a40c-14dfe3b7b693&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;earth&lt;/span&gt; to give him a chance.&lt;/p&gt;
  4341.  
  4342.  
  4343.  
  4344. &lt;p&gt;“We all feel cheated by losing him because more could have been done.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4345.

  4357.  
  4358.  
  4359.  
  4360. &lt;p&gt;Alex’s legacy lives on with his family, who are planning to honour him by setting up The Alex Able Retreat.&lt;/p&gt;
  4361.  
  4362.  
  4363.  
  4364. &lt;p&gt;Funded by the remaining &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; raised for his alternative treatment, cabins or lodges will be built, offering visitors in Alex’s position a fully accessible place to stay and heal, free of charge.&lt;/p&gt;
  4365.  
  4366.  
  4367.  
  4368. &lt;p&gt;Alex’s family stressed that the retreat was never a dying wish, but a project he hoped to establish, run, and use to bring comfort to others.&lt;/p&gt;
  4369.  
  4370.  
  4371.  
  4372. &lt;p&gt;He told family and friends that while funding specialist research would require more than they could ever raise, he wanted instead to make a tangible difference — for people to see the daily impact of their donations.&lt;/p&gt;
  4373.  
  4374.  
  4375.  
  4376. &lt;p&gt;Katie said: “When we lost Alex, Elle decided that setting the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt; up in his name not only fulfilled his wishes but kept his name and all that made Alex special, alive.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4377.  
  4378.  
  4379.  
  4380. &lt;p&gt;It is hoped the charity will be able to work in collaboration with hospitals, local hospices, and charities, who might want to refer others to them.&lt;/p&gt;
  4381.  
  4382.  
  4383.  
  4384. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  4385. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  4386. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is a rhabdoid tumour? &lt;/h3&gt;
  4387. &lt;/div&gt;
  4388. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  4391. &lt;div&gt;
  4392. &lt;p&gt;A rhabdoid tumour is a rare, fast-growing cancer that tends to develop in children. &lt;/p&gt;
  4393. &lt;p&gt;The disease can form in the kidneys, soft tissues or central nervous system. &lt;/p&gt;
  4394. &lt;p&gt;Rhabdoid tumours usually occur in infants and young children.&lt;/p&gt;
  4395. &lt;p&gt;A genetic mutation in the SMARCB1 gene causes most rhabdoid tumors.&lt;/p&gt;
  4396. &lt;p&gt;The SMARCB1 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that makes a protein that helps control cell growth.&lt;/p&gt;
  4397. &lt;p&gt;A mutation in this gene can cause the rapid growth of tumour cells.&lt;/p&gt;
  4398. &lt;p&gt;Rarely, a mutation in the SMARCA4 gene, another tumor suppressor gene, causes rhabdoid tumours.&lt;/p&gt;
  4399. &lt;p&gt;Rhabdoid tumor symptoms depend on a person’s age and the location of the tumour.&lt;/p&gt;
  4400. &lt;p&gt;Symptoms usually begin near where a tumour is growing and may include nerve paralysis, difficulty breathing or a lump in the belly. &lt;/p&gt;
  4401. &lt;p&gt;Other symptoms may include: &lt;/p&gt;
  4402. &lt;ul&gt;
  4403. &lt;li&gt;Fever&lt;/li&gt;
  4404. &lt;li&gt;Headache&lt;/li&gt;
  4405. &lt;li&gt;Blood in urine&lt;/li&gt;
  4406. &lt;li&gt;Nausea&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;vomiting&lt;/li&gt;
  4407. &lt;li&gt;Swollen lymph nodes&lt;/li&gt;
  4408. &lt;li&gt;Irritability&lt;/li&gt;
  4409. &lt;li&gt;Decreased appetite&lt;/li&gt;
  4410. &lt;li&gt;Unusual sleepiness&lt;/li&gt;
  4411. &lt;li&gt;Increased head size (in infants)&lt;/li&gt;
  4412. &lt;li&gt;Loss of balance&amp;nbsp;or trouble walking&lt;/li&gt;
  4413. &lt;/ul&gt;
  4414. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Source: &lt;a href=&quot;https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24440-rhabdoid-tumor&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Cleveland Clinic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4415. &lt;/div&gt;
  4416. &lt;/div&gt;
  4417. &lt;/div&gt;
  4419.  
  4420.  
  4421.  
  4422. &lt;p&gt;Katie said: “We will fulfil his dream of relocating to Shropshire, where we will build the kind of place he and Elle so desperately needed but could not access.&lt;/p&gt;
  4423.  
  4424.  
  4425.  
  4426. &lt;p&gt;“Alex questioned what kind of legacy he would leave behind because he didn&amp;#8217;t achieve all of the things that he wanted.&lt;/p&gt;
  4427.  
  4428.  
  4429.  
  4430. &lt;p&gt;“We assured him that he had inspired so many people, and with the Alex Able retreat, he is giving people something that he never had access to.&lt;/p&gt;
  4431.  
  4432.  
  4433.  
  4434. &lt;p&gt;“Alex wanted to help run it – he armed the family with a list of instructions of things he wanted to include.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4435.  
  4436.  
  4437.  
  4438. &lt;p&gt;To help fund the project, Elle’s parents plan to sell their home and purchase a piece of land big enough for them to live and set up the retreat.&lt;/p&gt;
  4439.  
  4440.  
  4441.  
  4442. &lt;p&gt;From there, the charity will fund the guest accommodation and cover the running costs, ensuring visitors can benefit from a break when finances are often tight.&lt;/p&gt;
  4443.  
  4444.  
  4445.  
  4446. &lt;p&gt;According to his mother-in-law, Alex imagined a nature-based retreat with organic vegetables for welcome boxes, honey from on-site hives, and a studio for painting or meditation, a peaceful space to process a diagnosis, spend time with loved ones, or recover after treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  4447.  
  4448.  
  4449.  
  4450. &lt;p&gt;Elle, her family and Alex’s closest friends have pledged to make it their life’s work to ensure&lt;/p&gt;
  4451.  
  4452.  
  4453.  
  4454. &lt;p&gt;The Alex Able Retreat supports as many people as possible, helping to make a frightening time feel a little easier.&lt;/p&gt;
  4455.  
  4456.  
  4457.  
  4458. &lt;p&gt;The team, who have volunteered as Trustees, have already submitted registration documents to the Charities Commission.&lt;/p&gt;
  4459.  
  4460.  
  4461.  
  4462. &lt;p&gt;In the meantime, donations can still be made via Alex’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-give-alex-a-chance-rare-cancer-fight&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;GoFundMe page&lt;/a&gt;, where funds are being safeguarded until the charity is formally registered.&lt;/p&gt;

  4503.  
  4504.  
  4505.  
  4506. &lt;p&gt;SHOPPERS are gutted after M&amp;amp;S axed an iconic festive favourite &amp;#8211; but don&amp;#8217;t worry, Aldi has you covered with a dupe.&lt;/p&gt;
  4507.  
  4508.  
  4509.  
  4510. &lt;p&gt;The sell-out snow globe gins have been pulled from the shelves, but Aldi&amp;#8217;s selection is £6 cheaper. &lt;/p&gt;
  4511.  
  4512.  
  4513.  
  4514. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36826158&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/aldis-blood-orange-liqueur-1026271065.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Aldi's Blood Orange Liqueur with Shimmer.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36826158&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Aldi&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Aldi&amp;#8217;s Blood Orange flavoured Gin Liqueur is just £13.99[/caption]
  4515.  
  4516.  
  4517.  
  4518. &lt;p&gt;The posh retailer has exclusively told us that its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/24023968/mands-axes-snow-globe-christmas-gin/&quot;&gt;sell-out snow globe gins&lt;/a&gt; will not be stocked this year, despite their popularity. &lt;/p&gt;
  4519.  
  4520.  
  4521.  
  4522. &lt;p&gt;The bottles of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marks-spencer/&quot;&gt;M&amp;amp;S&lt;/a&gt; gin liqueur have been an M&amp;amp;S Christmas staple over the last three years, retailing at £20 a bottle.&lt;/p&gt;
  4523.  
  4524.  
  4525.  
  4526. &lt;p&gt;Previously, the drinks have been so popular that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/13403628/ms-christmas-snow-globe-gin-buying-limit/&quot;&gt;M&amp;amp;S slapped them with a buying limit&lt;/a&gt; because of the huge demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  4527.  
  4528.  
  4529.  
  4530. &lt;p&gt;The Clementine Gin Liqueur and Spiced Plum Gin Liqueur featured flecks of gold glitter, and the bottle even lit up to imitate a snow globe.&lt;/p&gt;
  4531.  
  4532.  
  4533.  
  4534. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; Infusionist Shimmer Globes are back and available to buy in three mouthwatering flavours.&lt;/p&gt;
  4535.  
  4536.  
  4537.  
  4538. &lt;p&gt;You can snap up the Toffee Flavoured Vodka Liqueur, Blood Orange Flavoured Gin Liqueur and Honey Flavoured Rum Liqueur &amp;#8211; all for £13.99 a bottle.&lt;/p&gt;
  4539.  
  4540.  
  4541.  
  4542. &lt;p&gt;They come in beautiful globe style bottles and lighten up the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; table with a swirl of gold when shaken.&lt;/p&gt;
  4543.  
  4544.  
  4545.  
  4546. &lt;p&gt;The three flavours are advertised as:&lt;/p&gt;
  4547.  
  4548.  
  4549.  
  4550. &lt;ul&gt;
  4551. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blood Orange Flavour Gin Liqueur&lt;/strong&gt; – vibrant citrus meets crisp juniper&lt;/li&gt;
  4552.  
  4553.  
  4554.  
  4555. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Honey Flavour Rum Liqueur&lt;/strong&gt; – rich honey sweetness with a smooth, warming finish&lt;/li&gt;
  4556.  
  4557.  
  4558.  
  4559. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Toffee Flavour Vodka Liqueur&lt;/strong&gt; – indulgent, silky vodka with luscious toffee notes&lt;/li&gt;
  4560. &lt;/ul&gt;
  4561.  
  4562.  
  4563.  
  4564. &lt;p&gt;One shopper said: “WOW! I will be running to get my hands on this asap! Looks incredible!” &lt;/p&gt;
  4565.  
  4566.  
  4567.  
  4568. &lt;p&gt;Another customer said: “Do we have to choose? Three is the magic number!”&lt;/p&gt;
  4569.  
  4570.  
  4571.  
  4572. &lt;p&gt;Others said: &amp;#8220;Had this last year, delicious!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4573.  
  4574.  
  4575.  
  4576. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I got this last year, it&amp;#8217;s so&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nice/&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;#8221; commented another.&lt;/p&gt;
  4577.  
  4578.  
  4579.  
  4580. &lt;p&gt;A fourth said: &amp;#8220;Oh wow, I&amp;#8217;m getting one for my in-laws for Christmas, they love toffee vodka.&lt;/p&gt;
  4581.  
  4582.  
  4583.  
  4584. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thanks for sharing and the bottle looks lovely!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4585.  
  4586.  
  4587.  
  4588. &lt;p&gt;M&amp;amp;S shoppers shouldn&amp;#8217;t be too disappointed though as stores are still flogging plenty of other delightful Christmas tipples, including Tiramisu and Chocolate &amp;amp; Cherry flavour Irish Cream Liqueurs for £15.&lt;/p&gt;
  4589.  
  4590.  
  4591.  
  4592. &lt;p&gt;If you prefer something more fruity for the festive season, why not pick up a bottle of the M&amp;amp;S Collection Ceramic Limoncello Liqueur for £40. &lt;/p&gt;
  4593.  
  4594.  
  4595.  
  4596. &lt;p&gt;The beautifully illustrated bottle is handmade in Italy, the home of Limoncello, making for a stunning candle-holder or ornament once finished. &lt;/p&gt;
  4597.  
  4598.  
  4599.  
  4600. &lt;p&gt;There is also The Marksologist Cocktail Selection, which includes three 150ml tins for £10. &lt;/p&gt;
  4601.  
  4602.  
  4603.  
  4604. &lt;p&gt;The bar quality cocktails include a Salted Caramel Espresso Martini, Blood Orange Margarita and a Cherry Mai Tai.&lt;/p&gt;

  4681.  
  4682.  
  4683.  
  4684. &lt;p&gt;OVER 10,000 drivers have been slapped with a hefty £100 in just a single day.&lt;/p&gt;
  4685.  
  4686.  
  4687.  
  4688. &lt;p&gt;Motorists failed to notice a new 40mph limit through a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;major roadworks (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/36014978/major-road-close-three-weekends-check-route/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;major roadworks&lt;/a&gt; zone.&lt;/p&gt;

  4693.  
  4694.  
  4695.  
  4696. &lt;p&gt;Drivers travelling along the A417 in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/gloucestershire/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Gloucestershire  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Gloucestershire &lt;/a&gt;were met with on-the-spot fines after new speed cameras clocked thousands of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cars/&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/a&gt; flying through the “Missing Link” construction area on Tuesday, October 7.&lt;/p&gt;
  4697.  
  4698.  
  4699.  
  4700. &lt;p&gt;In total, a whopping 13,000 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;drivers  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;drivers &lt;/a&gt;were prosecuted for breaking the temporary 40mph rule, despite repeated warnings from National Highways that speeding through the site could end in tragedy.&lt;/p&gt;
  4701.  
  4702.  
  4703.  
  4704. &lt;p&gt;The stretch, which connects the A417 and A419 near Birdlip, is currently undergoing a £460million revamp to ease one of the South West’s worst bottlenecks. &lt;/p&gt;
  4705.  
  4706.  
  4707.  
  4708. &lt;p&gt;But with lane closures, cones and roadworkers on site day and night, safety officials say too many motorists are still treating it like an open motorway.&lt;/p&gt;
  4709.  
  4710.  
  4711.  
  4712. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Deadly impact&lt;/h2&gt;
  4713.  
  4714.  
  4715.  
  4716. &lt;p&gt;Celine Acard, Senior Project Manager for National Highways, said the behaviour of some drivers was putting lives at risk.&lt;/p&gt;
  4717.  
  4718.  
  4719.  
  4720. &lt;p&gt;She said crews are “working around the clock” to finish the long-awaited upgrade, but stressed that speeding through roadworks for the sake of “saving a minute or two” could have devastating consequences.&lt;/p&gt;
  4721.  
  4722.  
  4723.  
  4724. &lt;p&gt;“Our teams are entitled to do their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt; safely, without the threat of being maimed or killed by someone recklessly speeding through the site,” she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4725.  
  4726.  
  4727.  
  4728. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Safety first&lt;/h2&gt;
  4729.  
  4730.  
  4731.  
  4732. &lt;p&gt;Gloucestershire’s Deputy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;Crime&lt;/a&gt; Commissioner Nick Evans said the mass fines should be a wake-up call.&lt;/p&gt;
  4733.  
  4734.  
  4735.  
  4736. &lt;p&gt;He explained that speed limits exist “for a reason”, especially through roadworks, where workers are at their most vulnerable and road layouts are constantly changing.&lt;/p&gt;
  4737.  
  4738.  
  4739.  
  4740. &lt;p&gt;Evans added that the area had been fitted with cameras to protect both motorists and workers while the “vitally important and long-awaited” Missing Link project is completed.&lt;/p&gt;

  4763.  
  4764. &lt;p&gt;He urged drivers to leave a few extra minutes for their journey and remember that “the people working at the roadside have families expecting them home at night, just like you”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4765.  
  4766.  
  4767.  
  4768. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Fines&lt;/h2&gt;
  4769.  
  4770.  
  4771.  
  4772. &lt;p&gt;Anyone caught speeding through the 40mph zone faces a £100 fine and three penalty points on their licence. &lt;/p&gt;
  4773.  
  4774.  
  4775.  
  4776. &lt;p&gt;National Highways said the lower limit adds less than a minute to journey times, but could make the difference between life and death.&lt;/p&gt;
  4777.  
  4778.  
  4779.  
  4780. &lt;p&gt;Speeding is a factor in almost half of all crashes on UK roads, and experts say collisions drop dramatically when drivers adjust their speed to match the conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
  4781.  
  4782.  
  4783.  
  4784. &lt;p&gt;The A417 “Missing Link” scheme aims to finally fix the notorious single-lane bottleneck between Gloucester and Swindon, but with work not due to finish until 2027, officials are begging drivers to stick to the rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  4785.  
  4786.  
  4787.  
  4788. &lt;p&gt;Gloucestershire County Council has been approached for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  4789.

  4793. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  4794. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is the missing link scheme?&lt;/h3&gt;
  4795. &lt;/div&gt;
  4796. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  4799. &lt;div&gt;
  4800. &lt;p&gt;The Missing Link is a long-awaited road upgrade near Gloucester that aims to fix one of the South West’s biggest traffic headaches.&lt;/p&gt;
  4801. &lt;p&gt;The £460million scheme will see three-and-a-half miles of new dual carriageway built to connect two existing dual-lane sections of the A417 between Brockworth and Cowley.&lt;/p&gt;
  4802. &lt;p&gt;The busy stretch is notorious for bottlenecks, blind bends and crashes, with drivers often facing tailbacks and locals complaining of constant congestion.&lt;/p&gt;
  4803. &lt;p&gt;Once complete, the new route will smooth traffic between Gloucester and Swindon, improving the key corridor linking the Midlands and North with the South of England.&lt;/p&gt;
  4804. &lt;p&gt;The project, designed by Arup and the Professional Services Alliance, including Kier Design Services, Tony Gee and RPS (a Tetra Tech company), will also include new cycling and pedestrian lanes to support greener, safer travel.&lt;/p&gt;
  4805. &lt;p&gt;The build has been planned to protect the Cotswolds landscape, balancing the need for better roads with the area’s natural beauty.&lt;/p&gt;
  4806. &lt;/div&gt;
  4807. &lt;/div&gt;

  5051. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How much do Simba mattresses cost?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5052.  
  5053.  
  5054.  
  5055. &lt;p&gt;With prices starting from £599 (at its usual &lt;span id=&quot;4611c908-f943-45bd-a399-72f790dce6b5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/span&gt; price) for the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6878&amp;amp;awinaffid=255437&amp;amp;clickref=simba-deals-discount-codes-16526814&amp;amp;platform=dl&amp;amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fsimbasleep.com%2Fproducts%2Fmattress%3Fview%3Dadd-to-cart&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Simba Hybrid Mattress&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px;padding: 0px&quot;&gt;rising to £3,299 for the super king&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6878&amp;amp;awinaffid=255437&amp;amp;clickref=simba-deals-discount-codes-16526814&amp;amp;platform=dl&amp;amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fsimbasleep.com%2Fproducts%2Fsimba-hybrid-ultra-mattress%3Fview%3Dadd-to-cart&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Simba Hybrid Ultra Mattress&lt;/a&gt;, Simba mattresses are not inexpensive; however, they compare favourably&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;to similar offerings from other bed-in-a-box companies.&lt;/p&gt;
  5056.  
  5057.  
  5058.  
  5059. &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the brand regularly offers deals (we&amp;#8217;ve rounded up some current deals above), which can help you save &lt;span id=&quot;8902ef46-41b1-4bb9-a419-ac29f85b1f73&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5060.  
  5061.  
  5062.  
  5063. &lt;p&gt;Simba also has an incredible reputation, with a whopping 250,000 five-star reviews. &lt;/p&gt;
  5064.

  5071. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What is the bestselling Simba Mattress?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5072.  
  5073.  
  5074.  
  5075. &lt;p&gt;Simba&amp;#8217;s bestselling mattress is the &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Hybrid Pro (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6878&amp;amp;awinaffid=255437&amp;amp;clickref=simba-deals-discount-codes-16526814&amp;amp;platform=dl&amp;amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fsimbasleep.com%2Fproducts%2Fsimba-hybrid-pro-mattress&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Hybrid Pro&lt;/a&gt; – a popular choice due to its perfect blend of comfort, support, and advanced sleep &lt;span id=&quot;14fce543-00dd-41a5-8361-2d409ec0f4f6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;technology&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  5076.  
  5077.  
  5078.  
  5079. &lt;p&gt;It combines five layers, including Simba’s signature Aerocoil springs and cooling foam, which offer tailored support and temperature regulation.&lt;/p&gt;
  5080.  
  5081.  
  5082.  
  5083. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6878&amp;amp;awinaffid=255437&amp;amp;clickref=simba-deals-discount-codes-16526814&amp;amp;platform=dl&amp;amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fsimbasleep.com%2Fproducts%2Fmattress%3Fview%3Dadd-to-cart&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Original Hybrid&lt;/a&gt; is also hugely popular, with half a million sold and 15 awards won.&lt;/p&gt;
  5084.  
  5085.  
  5086.  
  5087. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How long does a Simba mattress last?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5088.  
  5089.  
  5090.  
  5091. &lt;p&gt;Simba mattresses aren&amp;#8217;t the cheapest options out there, so it&amp;#8217;s worth knowing how long your investment will actually last. &lt;/p&gt;
  5092.  
  5093.  
  5094.  
  5095. &lt;p&gt;While the company backs its products with a 10-year guarantee, the actual lifespan in real-world conditions depends on several key factors that are worth understanding before making a purchase.&lt;/p&gt;
  5096.  
  5097.  
  5098.  
  5099. &lt;p&gt;The good &lt;span id=&quot;585da2fc-df31-43ec-81c5-637f94ffcc62&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; is that Simba mattresses are genuinely built to last. Their hybrid &lt;span id=&quot;afb585e8-0455-40fc-ab80-8993a1910b97&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;models&lt;/span&gt; combine multiple layers of foam with innovative &lt;span id=&quot;20424e29-3232-4899-b727-e755fd1715e3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;spring&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;88a0ac1d-cb1b-4bda-a666-6786156b30a7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;technology&lt;/span&gt;, creating a structure that holds its shape much better than traditional mattresses.&lt;/p&gt;
  5100.  
  5101.  
  5102.  
  5103. &lt;p&gt;Most owners report that their Simba mattresses maintain good support and comfort for 7-10 years with proper care, significantly longer than cheaper foam-only alternatives, which can start sagging after just 3-4 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  5104.  
  5105.  
  5106.  
  5107. &lt;p&gt;To maximise the lifespan of your Simba, ensure you rotate it regularly (every 3-4 months) and use a mattress protector to prevent stains and moisture damage. &lt;/p&gt;
  5108.  
  5109.  
  5110.  
  5111. &lt;p&gt;Unlike some cheaper options, Simbas won&amp;#8217;t need flipping as they&amp;#8217;re designed to be one-sided, making maintenance more straightforward.&lt;/p&gt;
  5112.  
  5113.  
  5114.  
  5115. &lt;p&gt;For the price point, Simba&amp;#8217;s durability makes it a worthwhile long-term investment for quality sleep.&lt;/p&gt;
  5116.  
  5117.  
  5118.  
  5119. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Are Simba mattresses suitable for people with back problems?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5120.  
  5121.  
  5122.  
  5123. &lt;p&gt;Simba states that you should always seek professional medical advice when it comes to what&amp;#8217;s best for your back, and we completely agree – especially if you&amp;#8217;re having trouble sleeping.&lt;/p&gt;
  5124.  
  5125.  
  5126.  
  5127. &lt;p&gt;However, Simba has received a flood of positive comments from sleepers who say their Simba mattress has helped them finally get a good night&amp;#8217;s sleep after years of suffering from aches and pains.&lt;/p&gt;
  5128.  
  5129.  
  5130.  
  5131. &lt;p&gt;The extremely light comfort &lt;span id=&quot;10e2c2ed-1ba2-42d5-b3de-23ec56e2c8ff&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;spring&lt;/span&gt; layer is one of the technologies Simba has added to help make your sleep as soothing as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  5132.  
  5133.  
  5134.  
  5135. &lt;p&gt;And you shouldn&amp;#8217;t feel poked in the back, as Simba claims that its springs are lighter and finer than standard hefty ones.&lt;/p&gt;
  5136.  
  5137.  
  5138.  
  5139. &lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve rounded up the &lt;a aria-label=&quot;best mattresses for back pain here (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/home-and-garden/17587504/best-mattress-for-back-pain/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;best mattresses for back pain&lt;/a&gt;, including some options from Simba.&lt;/p&gt;
  5140.  
  5141.  
  5142.  
  5143. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s also worth checking out our selection of the &lt;a aria-label=&quot;best memory foam mattresses (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/25468087/best-memory-foam-mattresses/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;best memory foam mattresses&lt;/a&gt;, as memory foam is particularly beneficial for alleviating back pain.&lt;/p&gt;
  5144.  
  5145.  
  5146.  
  5147. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Are Simba refurbished mattresses any good?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5148.  
  5149.  
  5150.  
  5151. &lt;p&gt;Simba offers a range of &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6878&amp;amp;awinaffid=255437&amp;amp;clickref=simba-deals-discount-codes-16526814&amp;amp;platform=dl&amp;amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fsimbasleep.com%2Fpages%2Frefurbished&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;refurbished mattresses and accessories&lt;/a&gt; at a reduced price – a great choice for anyone in need of a mattress on a tight budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  5152.  
  5153.  
  5154.  
  5155. &lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t let the refurbished title fool you into thinking they&amp;#8217;re of worse quality, though.&lt;/p&gt;
  5156.  
  5157.  
  5158.  
  5159. &lt;p&gt;They&amp;#8217;ll still provide you with award-winning, restorative sleep, just for a lower cost.&lt;/p&gt;
  5160.  
  5161.  
  5162.  
  5163. &lt;p&gt;The refurbished items undergo rigorous hand testing and inspection to ensure the product remains in good condition, and any part that fails the test is replaced completely. &lt;/p&gt;
  5164.  
  5165.  
  5166.  
  5167. &lt;p&gt;Lastly, everything is deep cleaned by Simba to hospital standards, so it&amp;#8217;s essentially as good as new.&lt;/p&gt;
  5168.  
  5169.  
  5170.  
  5171. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What&amp;#8217;s the difference between Simba and Emma?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5172.  
  5173.  
  5174.  
  5175. &lt;p&gt;Simba and &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Emma (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.emma-sleep.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Emma&lt;/a&gt; are both leading mattress brands in the UK, but they differ in construction and feel. &lt;/p&gt;
  5176.  
  5177.  
  5178.  
  5179. &lt;p&gt;Reviews suggest that the &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Simba Hybrid (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6878&amp;amp;awinaffid=255437&amp;amp;clickref=simba-deals-discount-codes-16526814&amp;amp;platform=dl&amp;amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fsimbasleep.com%2Fproducts%2Fmattress%3Fview%3Dadd-to-cart&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Simba Hybrid&lt;/a&gt; is firmer than Emma mattresses.&lt;/p&gt;
  5180.  
  5181.  
  5182.  
  5183. &lt;p&gt;However, although Simba mattresses are medium-firm, the squishy top layer makes them feel soft and comfortable to lie on before you feel the firmness underneath.&lt;/p&gt;
  5184.  
  5185.  
  5186.  
  5187. &lt;p&gt;Obviously, it’s largely a matter of personal preference to a certain degree. &lt;/p&gt;
  5188.  
  5189.  
  5190.  
  5191. &lt;p&gt;However, both Simba and Emma hybrid mattresses contain multiple layers, with foam and springs, and both are available in a range of sizes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5192.  
  5193.  
  5194.  
  5195. &lt;p&gt;Plus, both offer a 200-night trial and a 10-year guarantee on their mattresses.&lt;/p&gt;
  5196.  
  5197.  
  5198.  
  5199. &lt;p&gt;Therefore, it’s essential to conduct thorough research to determine which one is likely to suit you best, considering factors such as mattress firmness, cooling layers, materials, and price.&lt;/p&gt;
  5200.  
  5201.  
  5202.  
  5203. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Does Simba offer an NHS discount?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5204.  
  5205.  
  5206.  
  5207. &lt;p&gt;Yes, Simba offers a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;21% discount (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://simbasleep.com/pages/discounts&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;20% discount&lt;/a&gt; to all healthcare workers, including care and social workers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5208.

  5210.  
  5211. &lt;p&gt;Students, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/teachers/&quot;&gt;teachers&lt;/a&gt;, and military personnel are also eligible for the discount.&lt;/p&gt;
  5212.  
  5213.

  5216.  
  5217.  
  5218.  
  5219. &lt;p&gt;Once you’ve been verified, you&amp;#8217;ll receive a code to use at checkout.&lt;/p&gt;
  5220.  
  5221.  
  5222.  
  5223. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s a great way for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; staff and other healthcare professionals to enjoy high-quality sleep products at a reduced price, as a thank you for their service.&lt;/p&gt;

  5265. &lt;p&gt;A BRITISH rock legend who spearheaded legendary group The Damned left a mammoth fortune for his family following his tragic death.&lt;/p&gt;
  5266.  
  5267.  
  5268.  
  5269. &lt;p&gt;Iconic guitarist Brian James left more than half a million pounds to his beloved wife in his will after his death in March at the age of 74. &lt;/p&gt;

  5278.  
  5279.  
  5280.  
  5281. &lt;p&gt;Documents reveal the musician left his estate worth £508,321 after deductions to his spouse.&lt;/p&gt;
  5282.  
  5283.  
  5284.  
  5285. &lt;p&gt;The punk icon also passed on his cherry red Gibson guitar to his son Charlie.&lt;/p&gt;
  5286.  
  5287.  
  5288.  
  5289. &lt;p&gt;Brian made a request to be buried at sea when he eventually passed away in his will dated December 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  5290.

  5293. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33724889/brian-james-damned-dead-guitarist/&quot;&gt;The punk rocker’s body&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was laid to rest on the ocean floor off the coast of Newhaven, East Sussex.&lt;/p&gt;
  5294.  
  5295.  
  5296.  
  5297. &lt;p&gt;Nine friends and family — including his widow Minna — sailed out from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/east-sussex/&quot;&gt;Eastbourne&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to witness the burial on April 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  5298.  
  5299.  
  5300.  
  5301. &lt;p&gt;It followed a small memorial service at a church near the couple’s home in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/brighton/&quot;&gt;Brighton&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5302.  
  5303.  
  5304.  
  5305. &lt;p&gt;Minna told The Sun: “It was a beautiful day and the sea was calm.&lt;/p&gt;
  5306.  
  5307.  
  5308.  
  5309. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve been together since I was 18, so it was very emotional.&lt;/p&gt;
  5310.  
  5311.  
  5312.  
  5313. &lt;p&gt;“A burial at sea is pretty unusual, but it was in his will so we had to do it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5314.  
  5315.  
  5316.  
  5317. &lt;p&gt;A local funeral firm had to apply for a certificate from the Marine Management Organisation.&lt;/p&gt;

  5341. &lt;p&gt;The musician died at the age of 74 on March 6.&lt;/p&gt;
  5342.  
  5343.  
  5344.  
  5345. &lt;p&gt;A source said: ‘’Brian now sleeps with the fishes, which is what he wished for before he died.&lt;/p&gt;
  5346.  
  5347.  
  5348.  
  5349. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was a true original in life and has carried that on in death.&lt;/p&gt;
  5350.  
  5351.  
  5352.  
  5353. &lt;p&gt;‘’The spirit of punk never left him and he was adamant he wanted his final resting place to be at sea.&lt;/p&gt;
  5354.  
  5355.  
  5356.  
  5357. &lt;p&gt;‘’A few loved ones went out on the boat for around three hours and watched as his coffin was dropped into the drink.’’&lt;/p&gt;
  5358.  
  5359.  
  5360.  
  5361. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;TRAGIC LOSS&lt;/h2&gt;
  5362.  
  5363.  
  5364.  
  5365. &lt;p&gt;When he died, a statement posted on his Facebook page said: &amp;#8216;It is with great sadness that we announce the death of one of the true pioneers of music, guitarist, songwriter, and true gentleman, Brian James.&lt;/p&gt;
  5366.  
  5367.  
  5368.  
  5369. &lt;p&gt;The iconic musician, who played with icons including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/28172227/godfather-of-punk-iggy-pop-reveals-surprising-relaxation-technique/&quot;&gt;Iggy Pop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Black Sabbath during his stellar career, passed away on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
  5370.  
  5371.  
  5372.  
  5373. &lt;p&gt;Brian, who was remembered as a &amp;#8220;pioneer and true gentleman&amp;#8221;, was globally recognised for his role in the band The Damned.&lt;/p&gt;
  5374.  
  5375.  
  5376.  
  5377. &lt;p&gt;He was hailed as the writer of the first ever UK punk single New Rose.&lt;/p&gt;
  5378.  
  5379.  
  5380.  
  5381. &lt;p&gt;After helping to form the Damned, Brian left to found Tanz Der Youth, before he formed The Lords of the New Church with Stiv Bators.&lt;/p&gt;
  5382.  
  5383.  
  5384.  
  5385. &lt;p&gt;The pair went onto produce three successful studio albums and hit singles such as Open Your Eyes, Dance with Me, and Method to My Madness.&lt;/p&gt;
  5386.  
  5387.  
  5388.  
  5389. &lt;p&gt;But Brian didn&amp;#8217;t stop there.&lt;/p&gt;
  5390.  
  5391.  
  5392.  
  5393. &lt;p&gt;He went on to The Dripping Lips and the Brian James Gang which created more solo albums.&lt;/p&gt;
  5394.  
  5395.

  5414.  
  5415.  
  5416.  
  5417.  
  5418.  
  5419.  
  5420.  
  5421.  
  5422.  
  5423. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;VE used air fryers for years, and wouldn&amp;#8217;t go without one for quick, easy meals.&lt;/p&gt;
  5424.  
  5425.  
  5426.  
  5427. &lt;p&gt;However, they can take up a lot of countertop real estate, which is something that&amp;#8217;s in short supply in my small kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
  5428.  
  5429.  
  5430.  
  5431. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve done a Ninja CRISPi &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/24455994/best-air-fryers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;air fryer&lt;/a&gt; review to see if the uniquely compact model could solve my problem, and more broadly, find out whether a portable air fryer is something the world actually needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5432.  
  5433.  
  5434.  
  5435. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36094559&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Untitled-16-x-9-in-2025-07-31T104636.590-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Ninja Crispi air fryer on a wooden surface.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36094559&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The portable Ninja Crispi has all the efficiency of a normal air fryer, with a much smaller footprint[/caption]

  5459. &lt;li&gt;Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer, &lt;s&gt;£179.99&lt;/s&gt; £129 on Amazon &amp;#8211; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4mUHwP2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;buy here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  5461. &lt;/div&gt;
  5462. &lt;/div&gt;
  5464.  
  5465.  
  5466.  
  5467. &lt;p&gt;The new &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://go.skimresources.com/?id=34784X1028065&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fninjakitchen.co.uk%2Fproduct%2Fninja-crispi-4-in-1-portable-glass-air-fryer-cyber-space-fn101ukgy-zidFN101UKGY&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ninja CRISPi&lt;/a&gt; is just one model in Ninja&amp;#8217;s wide range of air fryers, but it also has the most unique features.&lt;/p&gt;
  5468.  
  5469.  
  5470.  
  5471. &lt;p&gt;It launched in the UK just this year, hitting the shops (and online shelves) in March 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  5472.  
  5473.  
  5474.  
  5475. &lt;p&gt;Like all air fryers, it promises to cook food quicker than an oven, and as the name suggests, it produces crisp food, replicating a fried effect but without lots of oil.&lt;/p&gt;
  5476.  
  5477.  
  5478.  
  5479. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s described as a portable cooking system because the actual cooking mechanism is housed within the compact &amp;#8220;PowerPod&amp;#8221; lid, which snaps onto the top of one of two glass dishes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5480.  
  5481.  
  5482.  
  5483. &lt;p&gt;One glass container is 1.4L and the other is 3.8L.&lt;/p&gt;
  5484.  
  5485.  
  5486.  
  5487. &lt;p&gt;Once cooked, the food can immediately be served or stored in the fridge without decanting into another dish.&lt;/p&gt;
  5488.  
  5489.  
  5490.  
  5491. &lt;p&gt;There are three colours to choose from (blue, stone and sage green), and in classic Ninja style, they&amp;#8217;re aesthetically pleasing and buck air fryers&amp;#8217; reputation for being big, bulky and ugly.&lt;/p&gt;
  5492.  
  5493.  
  5494.  
  5495. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Pros&lt;/h2&gt;
  5496.  
  5497.  
  5498.  
  5499. &lt;ul&gt;
  5500. &lt;li&gt;Easy to use and quick to set up&lt;/li&gt;
  5501.  
  5502.  
  5503.  
  5504. &lt;li&gt;The glass containers are easy to clean by hand or in a dishwasher&lt;/li&gt;
  5505.  
  5506.  
  5507.  
  5508. &lt;li&gt;Makes food very crispy&lt;/li&gt;
  5509.  
  5510.  
  5511.  
  5512. &lt;li&gt;Components can be stored separately&lt;/li&gt;
  5513. &lt;/ul&gt;
  5514.  
  5515.  
  5516.  
  5517. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Cons&lt;/h2&gt;
  5518.  
  5519.  
  5520.  
  5521. &lt;ul&gt;
  5522. &lt;li&gt;The capacity isn&amp;#8217;t huge; it&amp;#8217;s suitable for two to three people max if you&amp;#8217;re cooking full meals&lt;/li&gt;
  5523.  
  5524.  
  5525.  
  5526. &lt;li&gt;The temperatures are pre-set and can&amp;#8217;t be changed&lt;/li&gt;
  5527. &lt;/ul&gt;

  5573. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve also owned an &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/air-fryer/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;air fryer&lt;/a&gt; for about five years now, so I know what to look out for when choosing a new one.&lt;/p&gt;
  5574.  
  5575.  
  5576.  
  5577. &lt;p&gt;I tried cooking a few different types of food with the Ninja CRISPi, focusing on what I&amp;#8217;d use an air fryer for day-to-day. &lt;/p&gt;
  5578.  
  5579.  
  5580.  
  5581. &lt;p&gt;The smaller container was ideal for snacks, starters or canapés, while the larger container was great for cooking a full meal for two or meat for six or seven people.&lt;/p&gt;
  5582.  
  5583.

  5589. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  5592. &lt;div&gt;
  5593. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How much does the Ninja CRISPi cost?&lt;/strong&gt; At full price, the air fryer costs £179.99, but it&amp;#8217;s currently on sale for £119.99with the code NINJA20. Within the Ninja range, it&amp;#8217;s priced somewhere in the middle.&lt;/p&gt;
  5594. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is it best for?&lt;/strong&gt; Those with small kitchens who want a compact air fryer that&amp;#8217;s easily cleaned and packed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  5595. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What I loved:&lt;/strong&gt; The convenience of having the glass containers eliminated the need to put leftovers into Tupperware after cooking. I also loved its clever design, which is far more sleek and compact than other air fryers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5596. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What I didn&amp;#8217;t: &lt;/strong&gt;The containers aren&amp;#8217;t big enough to fit more than two complete meal portions (if you were cooking meat, potatoes and veg in one go).&lt;/p&gt;
  5597. &lt;ul&gt;

  5625. &lt;/div&gt;
  5626.  
  5627.  
  5628.  
  5629. &lt;p&gt;When I opened the box (which was larger than I expected), I was pleased to see how compact the CRISPi&amp;#8217;s components were.&lt;/p&gt;
  5630.  
  5631.  
  5632.  
  5633. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s easy to assemble with no fiddly parts to worry about, so it would be pretty straightforward for anyone to get going.&lt;/p&gt;
  5634.  
  5635.  
  5636.  
  5637. &lt;p&gt;To set it up, all I had to do was drop the crisper plate inside of one of the glass containers (there&amp;#8217;s a tray to fit each size), place my food inside, pop the PowerPod on top and plug it in. &lt;/p&gt;
  5638.  
  5639.  
  5640.  
  5641. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36103836&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Ninja-Crispi-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Ninja Crispi air fryer with components.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36103836&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;All of the components can be stored separately, making it great for small homes[/caption]
  5642.  
  5643.  
  5644.  
  5645. &lt;p&gt;When using the larger container, you&amp;#8217;ll need to secure the adaptor onto the PowerPod to make it fit.&lt;/p&gt;
  5646.  
  5647.  
  5648.  
  5649. &lt;p&gt;Then I selected the cooking mode I wanted from the display at the top by clicking the ‘mode’ button. There are four to choose from: Air Fry, Roast, Keep Warm and Recrisp. &lt;/p&gt;
  5650.  
  5651.  
  5652.  
  5653. &lt;p&gt;Finally, I selected the time I wanted. &lt;/p&gt;
  5654.  
  5655.  
  5656.  
  5657. &lt;p&gt;Temperatures are pre-selected for each setting, meaning you can&amp;#8217;t change them, which is slightly annoying.&lt;/p&gt;
  5658.  
  5659.  
  5660.  
  5661. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Does it deliver? &lt;/h3&gt;

  5675. &lt;/div&gt;
  5676.  
  5677.  
  5678.  
  5679. &lt;p&gt;I decided to test out cooking chicken thighs, something I always rely on an air fryer for. &lt;/p&gt;
  5680.  
  5681.  
  5682.  
  5683. &lt;p&gt;They took 20 minutes to cook on the Air Fry setting, and came out with perfectly crisp skin and juicy meat; an immediate tick from me.&lt;/p&gt;
  5684.  
  5685.  
  5686.  
  5687. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  5691. &lt;/div&gt;
  5692. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  5693. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  5695.  
  5696.  
  5697.  
  5698. &lt;p&gt;I cooked six thighs in the large glass container, but there was still space remaining, so you could probably fit eight in there — enough for a family of four, if you cook your other components separately. &lt;/p&gt;
  5699.  
  5700.  
  5701.  
  5702. &lt;p&gt;I liked how you could see the food cooking and keep an eye on it throughout.&lt;/p&gt;
  5703.  
  5704.  
  5705.  
  5706. &lt;p&gt;There is also the small container, which is handy for cooking snacks and quick bites — I tried mozzarella dippers and they were crispy and oozy after just seven minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5707.  
  5708.  
  5709.  
  5710. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36058179&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Untitled-16-x-9-in-2025-07-29T095840.207.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Hands breaking apart a mozzarella stick with melted cheese.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36058179&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Mozzarella dippers came out crispy and oozy[/caption]
  5711.  
  5712.  
  5713.  
  5714. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, though, because there’s only one PowerPod, you wouldn’t be able to use both sizes simultaneously.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5715.  
  5716.  
  5717.  
  5718. &lt;p&gt;If you were looking to cook an entire meal (for example chicken, potatoes and veg), you’re probably going to be limited to two or three portions because the food needs to be spread out as a single layer.&lt;/p&gt;
  5719.  
  5720.  
  5721.  
  5722. &lt;p&gt;That means that the air fryer is best suited to couples and small families.&lt;/p&gt;
  5723.  
  5724.  
  5725.  
  5726. &lt;p&gt;Once the food is cooked, you simply remove the PowerPod, and you can wash the glass container or keep it in the fridge.&lt;/p&gt;
  5727.  
  5728.  
  5729.  
  5730. &lt;p&gt;I popped mine in the dishwasher and it came out perfectly clean.&lt;/p&gt;
  5731.  
  5732.  
  5733.  
  5734. &lt;p&gt;The containers can also be used straight for serving to the table, minimising washing up.&lt;/p&gt;
  5735.  
  5736.  
  5737.  
  5738. &lt;p&gt;You could use the smaller 1.4L container for storing lunch or leftovers, although one downside is that the glass containers are attached to the handles and base, making them bulky — however, they are okay to go in the microwave.&lt;/p&gt;
  5739.  
  5740.  
  5741.  
  5742. &lt;p&gt;The Ninja CRISPi is easy to use and easy to clean, but the biggest selling point is the compact storage. &lt;/p&gt;
  5743.  
  5744.  
  5745.  
  5746. &lt;p&gt;It dismantles into its separate components in seconds, which makes it ideal for storing, and you could even fit it completely out of sight in a cupboard.&lt;/p&gt;
  5747.  
  5748.  
  5749.  
  5750. &lt;p&gt;The majority of air fryers are large, square and will take up a considerable amount of counter space, so if you’ve put off buying an air fryer for that reason, this could be the one for you.&lt;/p&gt;
  5751.  
  5752.  
  5753.  
  5754. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How much is the Ninja CRISPi?&lt;/h2&gt;
  5755.  
  5756.  
  5757.  
  5758. &lt;p&gt;At the time of testing, the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://go.skimresources.com/?id=34784X1028065&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fninjakitchen.co.uk%2Fproduct%2Fninja-crispi-4-in-1-portable-glass-air-fryer-cyber-space-fn101ukgy-zidFN101UKGY&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ninja CRISPi air fryer&lt;/a&gt; retails for £119.99, with a £60 discount available on Ninja&amp;#8217;s website with the code NINJA20.&lt;/p&gt;
  5759.  
  5760.  
  5761.  
  5762. &lt;p&gt;There are both cheaper and more costly options, but the Ninja CRISPi is unique in its format, so there aren&amp;#8217;t many other brands that rival it.&lt;/p&gt;
  5763.  
  5764.  
  5765.  
  5766. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s also definitely a useful gadget that genuinely helps save time with cooking, as opposed to a novelty impulse buy.&lt;/p&gt;

  5804. &lt;p&gt;While I&amp;#8217;d recommend the Ninja CRISPi for its unique features, there are other air fryers to consider.&lt;/p&gt;

  5827. This air fryer is a stand-out option for small kitchens. &lt;/p&gt;
  5829. &lt;div&gt;
  5830. &lt;p&gt;Everything can be stored separately and packed away in a cupboard, plus the glass containers are incredibly easy to clean. &lt;/p&gt;
  5831. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s limited in what it can do, but the moderate price tag and incredibly easy set-up more than make up for it. &lt;/p&gt;
  5832. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;d highly recommend to any small households — no prior air fryer knowledge needed.&lt;/p&gt;
  5833. &lt;ul&gt;

  5878.  
  5879. &lt;p&gt;THIS is the horror moment a Russian missile blew up an apartment block inside Vladimir Putin&amp;#8217;s territory in a friendly fire blunder. &lt;/p&gt;
  5880.  
  5881.  
  5882.  
  5883. &lt;p&gt;Footage shows the missile tearing through the &lt;span id=&quot;8cd32bc8-158e-4d5a-98de-04273cdb5984&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;sky&lt;/span&gt; before hitting the residential building in Belgorod. &lt;/p&gt;

  5892.  
  5893.  
  5894.  
  5895. &lt;p&gt;It is understood that the rocket was launched from an air defence battery to intercept Ukrainian &lt;span id=&quot;e4ce239f-ffc9-4dc3-878b-d04c0c3b752f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot; data-rich-text-format-boundary=&quot;true&quot;&gt;drones&lt;/span&gt;, but instead fell on the apartments inside the Russian territory. &lt;/p&gt;
  5896.  
  5897.  
  5898.  
  5899. &lt;p&gt;Footage shows a huge blast as the missile hits the building overnight. &lt;/p&gt;
  5900.  
  5901.  
  5902.  
  5903. &lt;p&gt;The strike turned the night sky orange with as a massive ball of fire erupted. &lt;/p&gt;
  5904.  
  5905.  
  5906.  
  5907. &lt;p&gt;Heavy smoke was seen coming out of the building after the blitz caused by the Russian forces &amp;#8211; on their own territory. &lt;/p&gt;
  5908.  
  5909.  
  5910.  
  5911. &lt;p&gt;But this is not the first time the Russian forces have bombed their own cities&lt;/p&gt;
  5912.  
  5913.  
  5914.  
  5915. &lt;p&gt;Last year,  a bomb was dropped on Soloti, about 95 miles southeast of Bolgorod and about 40 miles from the Ukraine border, forcing the evacuation of 150 people.&lt;/p&gt;
  5916.  
  5917.  
  5918.  
  5919. &lt;p&gt;The friendly fire incident, which left five people injured and damaged 30 &lt;span id=&quot;522cf59c-094c-4c80-a2e1-b2cae0acb7d1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/span&gt; and 10 &lt;span id=&quot;cb3d7b04-8450-4317-8f3f-4c68670489ff&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5920.  
  5921.  
  5922.  
  5923. &lt;p&gt;In 2023, footage showed the moment &lt;span&gt;a&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/russia/&quot;&gt;Russian&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Su-34 fighter accidentally dropped a bomb in the city &amp;#8211; causing a  70-foot crater. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5924.  
  5925.  
  5926.  
  5927. &lt;p&gt;The explosion ripped through the street and damaged nearby apartments. &lt;/p&gt;

  5951. &lt;p&gt;Two women were reportedly wounded in the blast, with one being rushed to the &lt;span id=&quot;63182850-4e3c-49fe-af85-044c9b5b2bb2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hospital&lt;/span&gt; with head wounds.&lt;/p&gt;
  5952.  
  5953.  
  5954.  
  5955. &lt;p&gt;The British Ministry of Defence said last year: &amp;#8220;These instances indicate Russia’s continued inability to successfully employ their munitions on intended targets. &lt;/p&gt;
  5956.  
  5957.  
  5958.  
  5959. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Such errors have destructive and lethal consequences for the Russian population.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  5960.  
  5961.  
  5962.  
  5963. &lt;p&gt;The friendly fire was caused as the Russian forces scrambled air defence systems after Ukraine launched missiles and drone strikes. &lt;/p&gt;
  5964.  
  5965.  
  5966.  
  5967. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;945e1581-ee04-4c8c-98eb-7bc8f41a1050&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Ukraine&lt;/span&gt; launched a major drone attack on Russia for the second day in a row. &lt;/p&gt;
  5968.  
  5969.  
  5970.  
  5971. &lt;p&gt;Russian forces said they had intercepted 209 drones overnight and in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  5972.  
  5973.  
  5974.  
  5975. &lt;p&gt;The attack is Kyiv&amp;#8217;s second consecutive barrage on &lt;span id=&quot;755e26f0-e987-46b5-8edb-0094383a6d59&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Russia&lt;/span&gt; as it &lt;span id=&quot;fe28ad67-037f-4240-bbf8-34d81db8b44e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;steps&lt;/span&gt; up retaliatory strikes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5976.  
  5977.  
  5978.  
  5979. &lt;p&gt;Most of the drones were shot down over the regions of Kursk, Nizhny Novgorod and Belgorod, &lt;span id=&quot;bcd9c920-ce65-45eb-a4f0-89cb552faf28&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Russia&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8216;s defence ministry said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;
  5980.  
  5981.  
  5982.  
  5983. &lt;p&gt;But three people were killed and one injured when one of the missiles landed in Belgorod. &lt;/p&gt;
  5984.  
  5985.  
  5986.  
  5987. &lt;p&gt;The governor said the strike partially collapsed a &amp;#8220;social facility&amp;#8221; and posted images of what appeared to be a sports hall, its facade partially shattered.&lt;/p&gt;
  5988.  
  5989.  
  5990.  
  5991. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Three people were killed and one was wounded,&amp;#8221; Belgorod region governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram.&lt;/p&gt;

  6011. &lt;p&gt;Ukraine has been hitting back with long-range strikes on the Russian energy supply, recently causing outages in some Russian regions along the border.&lt;/p&gt;
  6012.  
  6013.  
  6014.  
  6015. &lt;p&gt;The Russian Defence Ministry said Wednesday that its air defences overnight intercepted 53 Ukrainian drones over nine Russian regions.&lt;/p&gt;
  6016.  
  6017.  
  6018.  
  6019. &lt;p&gt;On Monday, Ukraine launched 251 drones towards Russia killing two people.&lt;/p&gt;
  6020.  
  6021.  
  6022.  
  6023. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One thousand people in four &lt;span id=&quot;6de91cc2-097d-40db-9d1f-50ce4334a680&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;settlements&lt;/span&gt; remain without electricity,&amp;#8221; according to Belgorod&amp;#8217;s governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, adding that repair works were ongoing after the barrage.&lt;/p&gt;

  6473. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A SURGERY addict has revealed that she had her first BBL at the age of 17 and now, can’t stop going under the knife.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6474.  
  6475.  
  6476.

  6486.  
  6487.  
  6488.  
  6489. &lt;p&gt;Victoria Errigo, a dancer living in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/miami/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Miami&lt;/a&gt;, almost died herself after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36789075/spent-74k-surgery-look-perfect-almost-died-boyfriend-stop/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;going under the knife&lt;/a&gt;, but that hasn’t put her off.&lt;/p&gt;
  6490.  
  6491.  
  6492.  
  6493. &lt;p&gt;Revealing all to &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j97hqT3frBM&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Truly&lt;/a&gt; on a recent episode of Hooked on the Look, Victoria, who is known on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; as ‘Hungarian Doll,’ explained: &amp;#8220;I’m addicted to BBLs, I&amp;#8217;ve had three BBLs with extreme complications &amp;#8211;  I&amp;#8217;ve spent $30,000 [£22,380].”&lt;/p&gt;
  6494.  
  6495.  
  6496.  
  6497. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/26291722/liquid-bbl-almost-killed-me/&quot;&gt;A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)&lt;/a&gt; is a painful surgery where fat is taken from the stomach, lips, lower back, or thighs and transferred to the buttocks.&lt;/p&gt;
  6498.  
  6499.  
  6500.  
  6501. &lt;p&gt;This results in an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/body-shapes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hourglass figure&lt;/a&gt; and a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36336492/turkey-surgery-bratz-doll-looked-different-before/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;larger bum&lt;/a&gt; and can cost up to £8,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  6502.  
  6503.  
  6504.  
  6505. &lt;p&gt;Not only is it expensive, but it is incredibly dangerous and as Victoria knows, in some cases &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36655304/mum-dies-bum-lift-surgery/&quot;&gt;can lead to death&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6506.  
  6507.  
  6508.  
  6509. &lt;p&gt;Victoria confirmed that she started dancing at the age of 15 and felt a strong pressure to have the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36789075/spent-74k-surgery-look-perfect-almost-died-boyfriend-stop/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;perfect body&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6510.  
  6511.  
  6512.  
  6513. &lt;p&gt;She opened up on feeling “insecure” about her figure and shared her desire to be “super thick.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6514.  
  6515.  
  6516.  
  6517. &lt;p&gt;As a result, Victoria decided to get her first BBL whilst still a teen &amp;#8211; and it didn’t go quite as she expected. &lt;/p&gt;
  6518.  
  6519.  
  6520.  
  6521. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;Like a meat factory&amp;#8217; &lt;/h2&gt;
  6522.  
  6523.  
  6524.  
  6525. &lt;p&gt;Revealing her horror experience, Victoria continued: “I was given local anaesthesia, I felt everything &amp;#8211; I’m screaming, I’m crying. The doctor who was doing my surgery said, ‘’if you scream one more time, I’m going to leave you on this table.’&lt;/p&gt;
  6526.  
  6527.  
  6528.  
  6529. &lt;p&gt;“It was like a meat factory &amp;#8211; girls just laying down. They threw me on one of the beds, I laid down for 30 minutes and then I left.&lt;/p&gt;

  6550.  
  6551.  
  6552.  
  6553. &lt;p&gt;“My surgeon didn’t even park in a parking zone, he pulled in to do a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30736753/sophie-kasaei-bbl-hell-alien-bum-alice-webb-died/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BBL&lt;/a&gt; real quick with his hazards on and then pulled off, that’s how quick my BBL was, no care no nothing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6554.  
  6555.  
  6556.  
  6557. &lt;p&gt;And things were equally as chaotic with her most recent procedure and  due to the extreme toll on her body during the surgery, Victoria “almost died.”&lt;/p&gt;

  6574. &lt;p&gt;She recalled: “I was really scared. Everybody in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs-crisis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hospital&lt;/a&gt; spoke Spanish, I woke up in the hospital with two blood transfusions, one in each arm. &lt;/p&gt;

  6577.  
  6578. &lt;p&gt;“I was on my back, so I&amp;#8217;m like, they&amp;#8217;re just trying to keep me alive at this point &amp;#8211; it wasn&amp;#8217;t even about the BBL anymore.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6586. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Losing a friend &lt;/h2&gt;
  6587.  
  6588.  
  6589.  
  6590. &lt;p&gt;Not only this, but Victoria discussed her friend’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36655304/mum-dies-bum-lift-surgery/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tragic death after surgery&lt;/a&gt;, as she explained: “Me and my home girl actually got a BBL in the same clinic &amp;#8211; I found out that she passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  6591.  
  6592.  
  6593.  
  6594. &lt;p&gt;“I felt very responsible for her death, it’s really hard to live with. I think I was moving way too fast with my decision and that obviously had its consequences. I really miss my friend, so much.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6595.  
  6596.  
  6597.  
  6598. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  6599. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  6600. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?&lt;/h3&gt;
  6601. &lt;/div&gt;
  6602. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  6604. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  6605. IT&amp;#039;S important to do your research if you&amp;#039;re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. &lt;/p&gt;
  6607. &lt;div&gt;
  6608. &lt;p&gt;It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the&amp;nbsp;potential risks. &lt;/p&gt;
  6609. &lt;p&gt;Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.&lt;/p&gt;
  6610. &lt;p&gt;No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.&lt;/p&gt;
  6611. &lt;p&gt;If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  6612. &lt;p&gt;Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  6613. &lt;p&gt;Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.&lt;/p&gt;
  6614. &lt;p&gt;Source: NHS &lt;/p&gt;
  6615. &lt;/div&gt;
  6616. &lt;/div&gt;
  6617. &lt;/div&gt;
  6619.  
  6620.  
  6621.  
  6622. &lt;p&gt;Currently, Victoria is recovering from surgery and has to wear extremely tight straps and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/11162890/waist-trainer-kim-kardashian-weight-loss/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;waist trainers&lt;/a&gt; to ensure her derrière heals properly. &lt;/p&gt;
  6623.  
  6624.  
  6625.  
  6626. &lt;p&gt;Not only this, but she can’t sit down either &amp;#8211; however, this isn’t something that bothers this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/hair-and-beauty/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;brunette&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6627.

  6629.  
  6630. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;BBL yourself to death&amp;#8217; &lt;/h2&gt;
  6631.  
  6632.  
  6633.  
  6634. &lt;p&gt;Victoria&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;family&lt;/a&gt; aren’t keen on her going under the knife, as she revealed she is often told by loved ones that she is “doing too much.” &lt;/p&gt;
  6635.  
  6636.  
  6637.  
  6638. &lt;p&gt;As well as this, other family members have told her she will “BBL yourself to death” and claimed that she looks “extreme.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6639.  
  6640.  
  6641.  
  6642. &lt;p&gt;Despite this, Victoria beamed: “People who judge my look, I don’t really care. I do what I want whenever I want, you can’t stop me.&lt;/p&gt;

  6663. &lt;p&gt;Victoria shared her message for other young people who may be considering the surgery, as she advised: &amp;#8220;Please do not pick a surgeon based on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; you are not going to find your doctor through edited photos of the clinic, glorifying all their photos.&lt;/p&gt;
  6664.  
  6665.  
  6666.  
  6667. &lt;p&gt;“There&amp;#8217;s definitely a risk in getting more BBLs because it&amp;#8217;s one of the most dangerous cosmetic surgeries. I feel like you got away with it once, like you&amp;#8217;re gonna get away with it twice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6668.  
  6669.  
  6670.  
  6671. &lt;p&gt;“I did it three times, so I&amp;#8217;m kind of just playing with my life at this point.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

  6682.  
  6683. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youtube/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; users were left stunned by Victoria’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31618031/address-bbl-rumours-molly-mae-fans-beg-kylie-jenner/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;surgery&lt;/a&gt; story and many raced to the comments to share their thoughts. &lt;/p&gt;
  6684.  
  6685.  
  6686.  
  6687. &lt;p&gt;One person said: “Her friend died. That is the universe telling her to STOP!” &lt;/p&gt;

  6693. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What are Brazilian Butt Lifts and why are they so popular?&lt;/h3&gt;
  6694. &lt;/div&gt;
  6695. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  6698. &lt;div&gt;
  6699. &lt;p&gt;Buttock enlargement surgery &amp;#8211; known as a Brazilian butt-lift (BBL) &amp;#8211; is used to make the bum look bigger, rounded and lifted.&lt;/p&gt;
  6700. &lt;p&gt;Surgeons transfer fat, inject filler or insert silicone-filled implants.&lt;/p&gt;
  6701. &lt;p&gt;It is the fastest growing cosmetic procedure but also one of the most dangerous, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).&lt;/p&gt;
  6702. &lt;p&gt;Many patients are travelling to the likes of Turkey or seeking out unregistered surgeons in the UK and are not given full information on the risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  6703. &lt;p&gt;BBLs carry the highest risk of all cosmetic surgeries &amp;#8211; with more than one death occurring per 4,000 procedures.&lt;/p&gt;
  6704. &lt;p&gt;Due to celebrities undergoing such ops, many women are hoping to emulate their looks.&lt;/p&gt;
  6705. &lt;p&gt;Consultant clinical psychologist Dr Anu Sayal-Bennett, a chartered member of the British Psychological Society, told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-66798236&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the BBC&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Despite there being so much about body positivity, there are pressures for women &amp;#8211; and men too &amp;#8211; to look a certain way.&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6706. &lt;p&gt;Many people travel abroad for the procedure because it is cheaper and advertising is &amp;#8220;terribly seductive&amp;#8221;, combined with the idea of a beach holiday, added Dr Sayal-Bennett. &lt;/p&gt;
  6707. &lt;/div&gt;
  6708. &lt;/div&gt;
  6709. &lt;/div&gt;
  6711.  
  6712.  
  6713.  
  6714. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “The really sad part is that she got a BBL but was already beautiful the way she was.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6715.  
  6716.  
  6717.  
  6718. &lt;p&gt;A third commented: “She needs a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/mental-health/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;therapist&lt;/a&gt; not a surgeon.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6719.  
  6720.  
  6721.  
  6722. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “She looked way better natural.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6723.  
  6724.  
  6725.  
  6726. &lt;p&gt;At the same time, another penned: “I hope she doesn&amp;#8217;t get anymore, the surgery is so risky. She should just wear a corset if she wants the hourglass figure.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6727.

  6766.  
  6767. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Prime Big Deal Days sale (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4lHyaWs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Prime Big Deal Days sale&lt;/a&gt; is the annual October fixture, and this year it kicked off at midnight on 7 October and will end today at midnight.&lt;/p&gt;
  6768.  
  6769.  
  6770.  
  6771. &lt;p&gt;The 48-hour sale provides a bonanza of offers for savvy shoppers to take advantage of ahead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/12165897/when-black-friday-uk/&quot;&gt;Black Friday&lt;/a&gt; and the festive period.&lt;/p&gt;
  6772.  
  6773.  
  6774.  
  6775. &lt;p&gt;But to access all the deals, you must become a Prime member. &lt;/p&gt;
  6776.  
  6777.  
  6778.

  6780.  
  6781.  
  6782.  
  6783. &lt;p&gt;There have been lots of impressive discounts, with coveted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/home-and-garden/36937489/ninja-knives-lowest-price-ever-prime-day/&quot;&gt;Ninja knife sets cut to their&lt;/a&gt; lowest price ever, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/36937907/amazon-shoppers-cillso-smartwatch-slashed-prime-day/&quot;&gt;smartwatch prices plummeting from £130 to £23&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6784.  
  6785.  
  6786.  
  6787. &lt;p&gt;On the first day of the sale, our shopping experts spotted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/36922035/felix-cat-food-multipack-slashed-prime-day/&quot;&gt;Felix cat food multipack slashed to just 21p per pouch&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/36932967/2kg-cadbury-heroes-share-box-amazon-prime-day-deal/&quot;&gt;2kg Cadbury Heroes share boxes reduced to £20&lt;/a&gt; flying off the shelves.&lt;/p&gt;

  6811. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  6812. If you don&amp;#039;t want to miss out on the deals, you&amp;#039;ll need to become a Prime member. &lt;/p&gt;
  6814. &lt;div&gt;
  6815. &lt;p&gt; You can &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3Lce05a&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;sign up for a 30-day free trial&lt;/a&gt;, giving you free access to the sale when it launches.&lt;/p&gt;
  6816. &lt;p&gt;Just remember you&amp;#8217;ll need to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/16071082/how-to-cancel-amazon-prime/&quot;&gt;cancel your membership&lt;/a&gt; before the 30-day trial ends to avoid being charged the ongoing £8.99 monthly fee.&lt;/p&gt;
  6817. &lt;ul&gt;
  6818. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a aria-label=&quot;Join Amazon Prime and get access to the Big Deals Day event. (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3Lce05a&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join Amazon Prime now and access the Prime Day sale&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  6819. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6820. &lt;/div&gt;
  6821. &lt;/div&gt;
  6822. &lt;/div&gt;
  6824.  
  6825.  
  6826.  
  6827. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;When does Prime Day 2025 end?&lt;/h2&gt;
  6828.  
  6829.  
  6830.  
  6831. &lt;p&gt;The Big Deal Days sale will run for 48 hours, ending at midnight on 8 October.&lt;/p&gt;
  6832.  
  6833.  
  6834.  
  6835. &lt;p&gt;This is standard for most Prime Day events; however, in July, Amazon decided to host the annual shopping event over four days instead of two.&lt;/p&gt;
  6836.  
  6837.  
  6838.  
  6839. &lt;p&gt;In 2025, the retail giant also introduced &amp;#8216;Today’s Big Deals&amp;#8217;, which featured daily themes curated exclusively for members, including limited-time ‘New Deal Drop’ offers that went live at midnight each day.&lt;/p&gt;
  6840.  
  6841.  
  6842.  
  6843. &lt;p&gt;The autumn event will likely be a teaser of what deals shoppers can expect to see during Black Friday in November.&lt;/p&gt;
  6844.  
  6845.  
  6846.  
  6847. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We recommend keeping a close eye on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4lHyaWs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Prime Day deals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;hub&amp;nbsp;on Amazon&amp;#8217;s website, which will highlight the best discounts as they go live.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6848.  
  6849.  
  6850.  
  6851. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How long does Prime Day last?&lt;/h2&gt;
  6852.  
  6853.  
  6854.  
  6855. &lt;p&gt;Prime Day is generally a 48-hour event.&lt;/p&gt;
  6856.  
  6857.  
  6858.  
  6859. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4lHyaWs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;October Big Deal Days sale (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;October Big Deal Days sale&lt;/a&gt; has always been a two-day affair since it launched.&lt;/p&gt;
  6860.  
  6861.  
  6862.  
  6863. &lt;p&gt;However, the 2025 July Prime Day event actually ran for four days &amp;#8211; for the first time ever.&lt;/p&gt;
  6864.  
  6865.  
  6866.  
  6867. &lt;p&gt;The extended run meant Prime members had even longer to score savings on thousands of products.&lt;/p&gt;
  6868.  
  6869.  
  6870.  
  6871. &lt;p&gt;The flash sale nature of Prime Day events means many shoppers are quick to snap up items with the biggest price cuts.&lt;/p&gt;
  6872.  
  6873.  
  6874.  
  6875. &lt;p&gt;This has resulted in high-demand products selling out in record time.&lt;/p&gt;
  6876.  
  6877.  
  6878.  
  6879. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  6888. The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale kicks off today and runs until midnight tomorrow (Wednesday 8th October) - here&amp;#039;s our pick of the best deals. &lt;/p&gt;

  6924.  
  6925.  
  6926.  
  6927. &lt;p&gt;While the annual sale has traditionally taken place in July, in 2022, Amazon hosted&amp;nbsp;two&amp;nbsp;Prime Day events in July and October.&lt;/p&gt;
  6928.  
  6929.  
  6930.  
  6931. &lt;p&gt;Since then, the retailer has continued to hold two major sale events each year, called Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days.&lt;/p&gt;
  6932.  
  6933.  
  6934.  
  6935. &lt;p&gt;The last Prime Day event for 2025 took place in July, with savings on everything from Ninja appliances to bulk-buy essentials like cat food and dishwasher tablets.&lt;/p&gt;

  6947. &lt;p&gt;Amazon Prime Day and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/12165897/when-black-friday-uk/&quot;&gt;Black Friday&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are two of the biggest shopping events of the year – but which offers the best&amp;nbsp;bang for your buck?&lt;/p&gt;
  6948.  
  6949.  
  6950.  
  6951. &lt;p&gt;Prime Day was originally launched in 2015 to celebrate Amazon&amp;#8217;s 20th birthday, but has since evolved into an annual mega sale that rivals&amp;nbsp;Black Friday&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/23379401/when-is-cyber-monday-uk/&quot;&gt;Cyber Monday&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for serious bargain hunters.&lt;/p&gt;
  6952.  
  6953.  
  6954.  
  6955. &lt;p&gt;The last Prime Day sale, which took place in July, was Amazon&amp;#8217;s biggest Prime Day event, with shoppers saving billions on deals across more than 35 product categories.&lt;/p&gt;
  6956.  
  6957.  
  6958.  
  6959. &lt;p&gt;In terms of length, scale, and discount quality,&amp;nbsp;Black Friday&amp;nbsp;is still the reigning deals period&amp;nbsp;of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  6960.  
  6961.  
  6962.  
  6963. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll find terrific price drops during both sales, and it&amp;#8217;s not impossible that some Prime Day offers may well match those you find during Black Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
  6964.  
  6965.  
  6966.  
  6967. &lt;p&gt;One major difference is that Prime Day deals are exclusive to Prime members, while Black Friday sales are open to everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  6968.  
  6969.  
  6970.  
  6971. &lt;p&gt;This means you&amp;#8217;ll need an £8.99 monthly subscription (or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4lHyaWs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;a free trial&lt;/a&gt;) to access the discounts.&lt;/p&gt;
  6972.  
  6973.  
  6974.  
  6975. &lt;p&gt;A great way to check if the deals are as good as they appear is by using price tracking sites like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;camelcamelcamel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6976.  
  6977.  
  6978.  
  6979. &lt;p&gt;Other price comparison sites, such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealo.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Idealo&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;are also helpful and let you compare and track across multiple retailers.&lt;/p&gt;

  7248.  
  7249. &lt;p&gt;A BRITISH family reveals that they ditched the UK for one of the most luxurious islands in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  7250.  
  7251.  
  7252.  
  7253. &lt;p&gt;Adam Short, 44, and his wife, Tara, 38, visited the island of Mauritius in November 2024 with their two children &amp;#8211; Spencer, nine, and Xander, four &amp;#8211; for a break, but ended up falling in love with the lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;
  7254.  
  7255.  
  7256.  
  7257. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36943027&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/break-returning-home-sheffield-south-1029702205.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Adam Short, Tara Short, and their children Spencer and Xander smiling on a beach.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943027&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;SWNS&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Adam Short, 44, his wife, Tara, 38, with their children – Spencer, 9, and Xander, 4, who ditched the UK for Mauritius[/caption]
  7258.  
  7259.  
  7260.  
  7261. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36943041&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/1441dee6-9568-4be4-9f99-55bc9c538c5d.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A family of four on a boat, waving to the camera, with clear turquoise water and a blue sky in the background.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943041&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;889&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The family love their new life by the beach and say they have much more time together&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;SWNS&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  7262.  
  7263.  
  7264.  
  7265. &lt;p&gt;When they got back to their home in &lt;span id=&quot;d063126d-93bb-4d37-9fb7-98e0dbcf9379&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Sheffield&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/south-yorkshire/&quot;&gt;South Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt;, they realised they were sick of the 8am-6pm workdays and longed for a &amp;#8220;slower pace of life&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7266.  
  7267.  
  7268.  
  7269. &lt;p&gt;While they say living costs are exactly the same &amp;#8211; they say it&amp;#8217;s worth the move for the stunning beaches, hot summers, welcoming &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/neighbours-2/&quot;&gt;neighbours&lt;/a&gt; and more family time.&lt;/p&gt;
  7270.  
  7271.  
  7272.  
  7273. &lt;p&gt;And they don&amp;#8217;t miss the UK&amp;#8217;s dreary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather-2/&quot;&gt;weather&lt;/a&gt;, long workdays and endless traffic jams.&lt;/p&gt;
  7274.  
  7275.  
  7276.  
  7277. &lt;p&gt;The parents began discussing an international move after their holiday &amp;#8211; and Mauritius was high-up on their list.&lt;/p&gt;
  7278.  
  7279.  
  7280.  
  7281. &lt;p&gt;CEO Tara and car sales &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; owner Adam put their four-bed UK home up for rent and booked one-way flights to Grand Baie in July.&lt;/p&gt;
  7282.  
  7283.  
  7284.  
  7285. &lt;p&gt;Armed with nothing more than five suitcases, the parents and their sons began a new life.&lt;/p&gt;
  7286.  
  7287.  
  7288.  
  7289. &lt;p&gt;They told themselves that if, in two years, they weren&amp;#8217;t happy, they&amp;#8217;d return to the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  7290.  
  7291.  
  7292.  
  7293. &lt;p&gt;But after settling into a four-bed rental house with a &lt;span id=&quot;a9bbf941-6099-4ce2-b980-f7425188769c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pool&lt;/span&gt;, a stone&amp;#8217;s throw from the beach, the family don&amp;#8217;t see themselves heading back anytime soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  7294.  
  7295.  
  7296.  
  7297. &lt;p&gt;The two lads are attending an international private school costing £5k-a-year compared to around £25k-a-year in the UK, while both the parents say they can continue running their UK businesses flexibly from Mauritius.&lt;/p&gt;
  7298.  
  7299.  
  7300.  
  7301. &lt;p&gt;Adam said: &amp;#8220;Back in the UK, we weren&amp;#8217;t being a proper family &amp;#8211; we were just existing together.&lt;/p&gt;
  7302.  
  7303.  
  7304.  
  7305. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36943030&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/break-returning-home-sheffield-south-1029702100.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Adam and Tara Short with their children, Spencer and Xander.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943030&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;SWNS&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The family say they don&amp;#8217;t miss the UK weather[/caption]

  7329. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We were desperate to get away from the rat &lt;span id=&quot;4fa2e4fd-b21d-4a47-9389-679e4d468637&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;race&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7330.  
  7331.  
  7332.  
  7333. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We thought there had to be a better standard of life out in Mauritius &amp;#8211; and there is.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7334.  
  7335.  
  7336.  
  7337. &lt;p&gt;Now, the couple says that they both work fewer hours and spend more time together as a family.&lt;/p&gt;
  7338.  
  7339.  
  7340.  
  7341. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The kids finish school at 2.30pm so we can go to the beach or in the pool together,&amp;#8221; Adam adds. &amp;#8220;We enjoy as much family time as we can.&lt;/p&gt;

  7352. &lt;div&gt;
  7353. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Declutter Before You Pack&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7354. &lt;p&gt;Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load.&lt;/p&gt;
  7355. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Create an Inventory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7356. &lt;p&gt;Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move.&lt;/p&gt;
  7357. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Use Quality Packing Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7358. &lt;p&gt;Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move.&lt;/p&gt;
  7359. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Label Everything&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7360. &lt;p&gt;Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized.&lt;/p&gt;
  7361. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Pack a &amp;#8216;First Day&amp;#8217; Box&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7362. &lt;p&gt;Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day.&lt;/p&gt;
  7363. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7364. &lt;p&gt;Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place.&lt;/p&gt;
  7365. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7366. &lt;p&gt;Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury.&lt;/p&gt;
  7367. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Colour-Code Your Boxes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7368. &lt;p&gt;Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.&lt;/p&gt;
  7369. &lt;/div&gt;
  7370. &lt;/div&gt;
  7371. &lt;/div&gt;
  7373.  
  7374.  
  7375.  
  7376. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I get asked every day on social media how we managed to do this &amp;#8211; but it&amp;#8217;s achievable if you just commit to it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7377.  
  7378.  
  7379.  
  7380. &lt;p&gt;The parents began considering a move to another culture after realising they were hardly seeing their own children.&lt;/p&gt;
  7381.  
  7382.  
  7383.  
  7384. &lt;p&gt;Adam said: &amp;#8220;I used to say to my friends, &amp;#8216;I feel like I don&amp;#8217;t know my kids.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  7385.  
  7386.  
  7387.  
  7388. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I would see them every day, but it was all rushing around, getting them ready for school, tea, bed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7389.  
  7390.  
  7391.  
  7392. &lt;p&gt;Adam and Tara finally decided to take the leap and rent out their UK home, travelling to the Island with just five suitcases in July of this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  7393.

  7395.  
  7396. &lt;p&gt;They rented a home and the parents enrolled their sons in a top-level international private school there.&lt;/p&gt;
  7397.  
  7398.  
  7399.  
  7400. &lt;p&gt;Adam said: &amp;#8220;In the UK, a private school can be like, what, £20k or £30k a year for each child?&lt;/p&gt;
  7401.  
  7402.  
  7403.  
  7404. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Here, it&amp;#8217;s £5k a year for the best school on the island.&lt;/p&gt;
  7405.  
  7406.  
  7407.  
  7408. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We were spending that much just on the breakfast and after school clubs in the UK!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7409.  
  7410.  
  7411.  
  7412. &lt;p&gt;Because they&amp;#8217;re ahead of UK time, the parents can get several hours of work done before any of the UK teams start &amp;#8211; and feel more productive without distractions.&lt;/p&gt;
  7413.  
  7414.  
  7415.  
  7416. &lt;p&gt;And they can work flexible hours throughout the day, so they can take time away in the afternoons to spend with their sons after school.&lt;/p&gt;
  7417.  
  7418.  
  7419.  
  7420. &lt;p&gt;Adam said: &amp;#8220;Everything about island life is incredible &amp;#8211; the beaches, the weather, the food.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7421.  
  7422.  
  7423.  
  7424. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36943036&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/break-returning-home-sheffield-south-1029702102.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Tara with her children, Spencer and Xander, in a swimming pool in Mauritius.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36943036&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;SWNS&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Now, they get to sepdn their afternoons relaxing by the pool instead of working[/caption]
  7425.  
  7426.  
  7427.  
  7428. &lt;p&gt;Despite not being native, they said one of the most enjoyable parts of their move has been how much they&amp;#8217;ve been welcomed.&lt;/p&gt;
  7429.  
  7430.  
  7431.  
  7432. &lt;p&gt;Adam said: &amp;#8220;Everyone is so lovely &amp;#8211; we&amp;#8217;ve been invited to a meal at a Mauritian family&amp;#8217;s home this weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  7433.  
  7434.  
  7435.  
  7436. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Mauritian life is very family-focused which is what we want.&lt;/p&gt;
  7437.  
  7438.  
  7439.  
  7440. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On the weekends, you go down to the beach and hundreds of families are out all having barbecues with little gazebos.&lt;/p&gt;
  7441.  
  7442.  
  7443.  
  7444. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you walk past, every family will invite you to join them and share their food.&lt;/p&gt;
  7445.  
  7446.  
  7447.  
  7448. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All the kids play together. It&amp;#8217;s lovely.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7449.  
  7450.  
  7451.  
  7452. &lt;p&gt;As for cost, Adam said some things are more expensive in Mauritius &amp;#8211; although others work out less.&lt;/p&gt;
  7453.  
  7454.  
  7455.  
  7456. &lt;p&gt;He feels overall, the move hasn&amp;#8217;t saved them &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; but they get a better life for what they pay.&lt;/p&gt;
  7457.  
  7458.  
  7459.  
  7460. &lt;p&gt;Adam said a weekly grocery shop costs £200, plus another £20 spent on fresh fruit and veg at the market.&lt;/p&gt;
  7461.  
  7462.  
  7463.  
  7464. &lt;p&gt;Because most food and drinks are imported, the cost of alcohol is largely similar to UK prices in tourist-focused &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/restaurants/&quot;&gt;restaurants&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7465.  
  7466.  
  7467.  
  7468. &lt;p&gt;But Adam said visiting local Creole establishments can be much more affordable.&lt;/p&gt;
  7469.  
  7470.  
  7471.  
  7472. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;At a local Creole place, you can get a &lt;span id=&quot;fcc2d5cf-0016-4d9b-bf44-622054a39812&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; meal with a bottle of South African &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wine/&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt; for £40.&lt;/p&gt;
  7473.  
  7474.  
  7475.  
  7476. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Touristy spots near the beachfront, you&amp;#8217;d pay £100-£120 for that.&lt;/p&gt;
  7477.  
  7478.  
  7479.  
  7480. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The supermarkets are expensive because things are imported, but the fresh fruit and veg at the market is so much fresher and cheaper.&lt;/p&gt;
  7481.  
  7482.  
  7483.  
  7484. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have rotis for breakfast now instead of cereal &amp;#8211; a type of flatbread-like street food &amp;#8211; and you buy them from the street sellers for about 20p each.&lt;/p&gt;
  7485.  
  7486.  
  7487.  
  7488. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So when you first get here, you assume everything is expensive, but it doesn&amp;#8217;t have to be.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7489.  
  7490.  
  7491.  
  7492. &lt;p&gt;Overall the family love their new life &amp;#8211; and Adam says currently they&amp;#8217;re too absorbed in the culture to think much about the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  7493.  
  7494.  
  7495.  
  7496. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;I try not to look at the UK &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;news&lt;/a&gt;. It&amp;#8217;s all bad. I&amp;#8217;ve deleted all the news apps.&lt;/p&gt;
  7497.  
  7498.  
  7499.  
  7500. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Now, we&amp;#8217;re here, and we&amp;#8217;re living in the moment.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7548.  
  7549.  
  7550. &lt;p&gt;What is All Star Hotel? Well, even if you have joined us for the party of the year in previous years, it’s worth having a look at what to expect this time. &lt;/p&gt;
  7551.

  7563.  
  7564.

  7566. &lt;p&gt;With your travel companion sorted, you’ll make your way to our All Star Hotel. &lt;/p&gt;
  7567.  
  7568.  
  7569.  
  7570. &lt;p&gt;This will be a three-star hotel in the bright lights of Blackpool. All meals will be provided during your stay (dietary requirements can be submitted upon request from the hotel). &lt;/p&gt;

  7603.

  7944.  
  7945.  
  7946.  
  7947. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-osbourne/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jack&lt;/a&gt; was speaking to singer Yungblud who has been open about Ozzy being his ideal and acted as a close friend to the Osbourne family in Ozzy&amp;#8217;s final years.&lt;/p&gt;
  7948.  
  7949.  
  7950.  
  7951. &lt;p&gt;During a tearful conversation, the pair spoke about the backlash Yungblud had received for being part of a group of performers who paid tribute to Ozzy at this year&amp;#8217;s VMAs.&lt;/p&gt;
  7952.  
  7953.  
  7954.  
  7955. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35385082/i-love-bowie-freddie-mercury-says-yungblud-new-album/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Yungblud &lt;/a&gt;and rock band Aerosmith found themselves facing an unexpected backlash following the performance with The Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins even branding them both a &amp;#8220;bunch of b*****ds.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7956.  
  7957.  
  7958.  
  7959. &lt;p&gt;Dan then added: &amp;#8220;Makes me sick how people jump on this s*** to further their own careers.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7960.  
  7961.  
  7962.  
  7963. &lt;p&gt;But Jack staunchly defended Yungblud in the tearful moment on his podcast.&lt;/p&gt;
  7964.  
  7965.  
  7966.  
  7967. &lt;p&gt;Jack said: &amp;#8220;After the VMAs, there were some rockstars slagging you off.&lt;/p&gt;
  7968.  
  7969.  
  7970.  
  7971. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They were like he is just clout-chasing, he is jumping on the bandwagon of Ozzy passing.&lt;/p&gt;
  7972.  
  7973.  
  7974.  
  7975. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I kinda want to use this opportunity to talk about that because, as a family we have talked about this, you have been so graceful over the last two months&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7976.  
  7977.  
  7978.  
  7979. &lt;p&gt;Jack then appeared to throw his hand down on the couch as he welled up with tears and became emotional.&lt;/p&gt;
  7980.  
  7981.  
  7982.  
  7983. &lt;p&gt;Yungblud was quick to get up and share a hug with Jack as he comforted him amid his sadness.&lt;/p&gt;

  8008.  
  8009.  
  8010.  
  8011. &lt;p&gt;He then continued through tears and with his voice shaking: &amp;#8220;You were so much more involved&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  8012.  
  8013.  
  8014.  
  8015. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve respected that you&amp;#8217;ve respected that. &lt;/p&gt;
  8016.  
  8017.  
  8018.  
  8019. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But these people didn&amp;#8217;t f***ing know!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8020.  
  8021.  
  8022.  
  8023. &lt;p&gt;Wiping away tears, Jack continued: &amp;#8220;They don&amp;#8217;t know the f***ing story of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  8024.  
  8025.  
  8026.  
  8027. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They don&amp;#8217;t know what we know and so I was kind of like, &amp;#8216;f*** you dude&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8028.  
  8029.  
  8030.  
  8031. &lt;p&gt;Jack then commented on Ozzy and Yungblud&amp;#8217;s bond as he ferociously shot down any speculation that the singer&amp;#8217;s intentions were ill-motivated. &lt;/p&gt;
  8032.

  8044.  
  8045.  
  8046.  
  8047. &lt;p&gt;It came after the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/36932701/jack-osbourne-emotional-update-mum-sharon-ozzy-death/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Osbournes&amp;#8217; new documentary Coming Home &lt;/a&gt;aired on BBC One last week.&lt;/p&gt;
  8048.  
  8049.  
  8050.  
  8051. &lt;p&gt;Speaking in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36864596/ozzy-osbourne-bbc-documentary-new-date/&quot;&gt;the documentary&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;around two years before his death, Ozzy got candid about his 20-year-long battle with Parkinson&amp;#8217;s disease.&lt;/p&gt;
  8052.  
  8053.  
  8054.  
  8055. &lt;p&gt;He explained how when he was 69, he felt good &amp;#8211; but as soon as he turned 70, things changed.&lt;/p&gt;
  8056.  
  8057.  
  8058.  
  8059. &lt;p&gt;Ozzy said that &amp;#8220;the trap doors opened&amp;#8221; when he reached the milestone age.&lt;/p&gt;
  8060.  
  8061.  
  8062.  
  8063. &lt;p&gt;He explained: &amp;#8220;When I was 69, I can vividly remember me thinking to myself, &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;m 69 and I don&amp;#8217;t feel that bad&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8064.  
  8065.  
  8066.  
  8067. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Soon as I turned 70, the f***ing trap doors opened.&lt;/p&gt;
  8068.  
  8069.  
  8070.  
  8071. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I can&amp;#8217;t walk very far without getting out of breath.&lt;/p&gt;
  8072.  
  8073.  
  8074.

  8102.  
  8103. &lt;p&gt;LET&amp;#8217;S face it &amp;#8211; if there&amp;#8217;s one day you deserve to be spoiled, it&amp;#8217;s on your birthday.&lt;/p&gt;
  8104.  
  8105.  
  8106.  
  8107. &lt;p&gt;But one mum who showed off her nine-year-old daughter&amp;#8217;s birthday haul online has been slammed for &amp;#8220;harmfully&amp;#8221; spoiling her girl. &lt;/p&gt;
  8108.  
  8109.  
  8110.  
  8111. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36941767&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 501px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/bd71484f-97ae-43b9-9680-a773660eb5c4.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=491&quot; alt=&quot;A woman in a floral dress gestures towards a large haul of birthday gifts, including shopping bags from Sephora and a white handbag, with text overlay &amp;quot;What I got my 9 year old for her birthday (apparently controversial according to my comments section)&amp;quot;.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36941767&quot; width=&quot;491&quot; height=&quot;765&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;tiktok@sienna.and.i&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A mum showed of her daughter&amp;#8217;s enormous 9th birthday haul[/caption]
  8112.  
  8113.  
  8114.  
  8115. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36941802&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 524px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/758172a2-5abd-47fa-b1fb-81494a1a46c1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=514&quot; alt=&quot;A fireplace mantel adorned with &amp;quot;HAPPY BIRTHDAY&amp;quot; balloons, surrounded by numerous wrapped presents.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36941802&quot; width=&quot;514&quot; height=&quot;515&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;tiktok@sienna.and.i&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The woman has been slammed online for &amp;#8220;harmfully spoiling&amp;#8221; her[/caption]
  8116.  
  8117.  
  8118.  
  8119. &lt;p&gt;The woman admitted she &amp;#8220;doesn&amp;#8217;t budget&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;go over the top&amp;#8221; but simply just buys presents she knows her daughter Sienna is going to love.&lt;/p&gt;
  8120.  
  8121.  
  8122.  
  8123. &lt;p&gt;She then went on to show every gift she&amp;#8217;d purchased for her little girl&amp;#8217;s big day &amp;#8211; from crafts and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/style/&quot;&gt;clothes&lt;/a&gt; to toys and body care products.&lt;/p&gt;
  8124.  
  8125.  
  8126.  
  8127. &lt;p&gt;But it wasn&amp;#8217;t long before the mum was criticised for her &amp;#8220;excessive&amp;#8221; present-buying &amp;#8211; with one social media user even accusing her of &amp;#8220;breeding entitlement&amp;#8221; by spoiling her daughter.&lt;/p&gt;
  8128.  
  8129.  
  8130.  
  8131. &lt;p&gt;While the exact price of the haul isn&amp;#8217;t known, we&amp;#8217;ve estimated the total cost and believe it to be worth in the region of £500.&lt;/p&gt;
  8132.  
  8133.  
  8134.  
  8135. &lt;p&gt;In the clip posted to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a aria-label=&quot;@sienna.and.i (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@sienna.and.i/video/7556991176239369494?is_from_webapp=1&amp;amp;sender_device=pc&amp;amp;web_id=7540589221951833622&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;@sienna.and.i&lt;/a&gt;), she begins by explaining how she bought her daughter some gooey gooey slime, which retails at £20 and a blooming box by Miniso where you can make your own flowers, roughly £4.99,.&lt;/p&gt;
  8136.  
  8137.  
  8138.  
  8139. &lt;p&gt;She also picked up a picky pad, £3.79, colouring in pens, around £5, a book, £8, a Labubu which is estimated to cost around £18 and three Mini Brands Kawaii Capsules which cost £8 each. &lt;/p&gt;
  8140.  
  8141.  
  8142.  
  8143. &lt;p&gt;She goes on to say that she also ordered two pairs of trainers, which cost roughly £35 and £50, a £9 stripey top from Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s, pyjamas around £12, and a bag, roughly £15, because her daughter is &amp;#8220;at that age where she really cares about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/style/&quot;&gt;fashion&lt;/a&gt; and what she&amp;#8217;s wearing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8144.  
  8145.  
  8146.  
  8147. &lt;p&gt;Not stopping there, she goes on to say how her daughter is also a huge fan of anything &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jewellery/&quot;&gt;jewellery&lt;/a&gt; or craft-related, so she bought her a pebbles colouring kit, around £11, a £24.99 sticker machine so she can make her own stickers and a charm bracelet set, which is £13 from Argos.&lt;/p&gt;
  8148.  
  8149.  
  8150.  
  8151. &lt;p&gt;Admitting the &lt;span id=&quot;f9137d5d-8450-4865-a62f-e5434b5fca7e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; presents are quite niche, she then reveals how Sienna is a huge lover of sushi, so she purchased her sushi rice and a sushi roll kit, along with soy sauce &amp;#8211; costing around £16.&lt;/p&gt;
  8152.  
  8153.  
  8154.  
  8155. &lt;p&gt;The excited mum then adds that she also wanted to buy Sienna a keepsake, which she gifted her daughter in the form of a stunning linen personalised cushion with her name on, which cost around £68.&lt;/p&gt;
  8156.  
  8157.  
  8158.  
  8159. &lt;p&gt;Other purchases include a notebook keyring, &lt;span id=&quot;14ef1ff6-f9d7-4502-aad4-41797a8ba075&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;mini&lt;/span&gt; hairbrush, purse Reese&amp;#8217;s chocolates, which come to around £30, Halfords wicker bike basket, £10, fruit-inspired highlighters, £7, £24 Sol De Janeiro body spray and a £47 Laneige lip sleeping mask box set because the &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dupes/&quot;&gt;dupes&lt;/a&gt; aren&amp;#8217;t cutting it.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  8160.  
  8161.  
  8162.  
  8163. &lt;p&gt;The woman also says she&amp;#8217;s planning on getting her daughter a Jellycat toy too, which costs somewhere in the region of £28. &lt;/p&gt;
  8164.  
  8165.  
  8166.  
  8167. &lt;p&gt;She concludes by addressing her social media followers and asking: &amp;#8220;Now, tell me, was that a controversial shop or not? Because I was told in my last comments that this was more like a toddler shopping haul.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8168.  
  8169.  
  8170.  
  8171. &lt;p&gt;The post quickly went viral, racking up a whopping 134k views and &lt;em&gt;very &lt;/em&gt;mixed responses. &lt;/p&gt;
  8172.  
  8173.  
  8174.  
  8175. &lt;p&gt;Some social media users were quick to jump in to slam the haul as &amp;#8220;excessive,&amp;#8221; with one person questioning: &amp;#8220;Why so so much?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8176.

  8187. &lt;p&gt;A study by major toy retailer TK Maxx revealed that one in three parents admit to spending less on presents for their own children and their children’s friends compared to five years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  8188. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Average Spend: &lt;/strong&gt;Parents spend an average of £175 on birthday gifts for their kids, while presents for their children’s friends can cost up to £95 a year, adding extra strain on household finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  8189. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gifts and Parties:&lt;/strong&gt; Children receive around 12 presents per birthday, and parents take their kids to an average of four birthday parties annually.&lt;/p&gt;
  8190. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Top Five Gifts Parents Buy for Children:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8191. &lt;p&gt;Clothes: 49%&lt;/p&gt;
  8192. &lt;p&gt;Books: 46%&lt;/p&gt;
  8193. &lt;p&gt;Technology: 39%&lt;/p&gt;
  8194. &lt;p&gt;Traditional Board Games: 38%&lt;/p&gt;
  8195. &lt;p&gt;Remote Controlled Toys: 26%&lt;/p&gt;
  8196. &lt;p&gt;Dolls: 25%&lt;/p&gt;
  8197. &lt;p&gt;How Much Should You Spend on a Child’s Birthday?&lt;/p&gt;
  8198. &lt;p&gt;Experts generally suggest keeping birthday spending reasonable and within the family&amp;#8217;s budget. A common guideline is to spend around £10 to £20 per year of the child&amp;#8217;s age. For example:&lt;/p&gt;
  8199. &lt;p&gt;5-year-old: £50 to £100&lt;/p&gt;
  8200. &lt;p&gt;Remember, the focus should be on creating memorable experiences rather than adhering strictly to a spending rule. &lt;/p&gt;
  8201. &lt;p&gt;Simple, thoughtful, and creative celebrations can often be just as enjoyable and meaningful for the child.&lt;/p&gt;
  8202. &lt;/div&gt;
  8203. &lt;/div&gt;
  8204. &lt;/div&gt;
  8206.  
  8207.  
  8208.  
  8209. &lt;p&gt;A second commented: &amp;#8220;I think spoiling a child is harmful to them later on. Breeds entitlement. Personally I think this is a lot for just a birthday. It’s a bit on the excessive side.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8210.  
  8211.  
  8212.  
  8213. &lt;p&gt;However, others completely disagreed, with one hitting back: &amp;#8220;Not at all. I’m a spoiled child and always got whatever I wanted but I’m still very appreciative and not at all entitled.&lt;/p&gt;
  8214.  
  8215.  
  8216.  
  8217. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I understand the pressure my parents were under and how much time they had to work to get me those things… now as an adult I return the love and gifts to others.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8218.  
  8219.  
  8220.  
  8221. &lt;p&gt;Another wrote: &amp;#8220;God forbid someone loves spoiling their child.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8222.  
  8223.  
  8224.  
  8225. &lt;p&gt;And one more chimed in: &amp;#8220;These are THE PERFECT haul for a little girl. Hope she has a wonderful time. I mean, I want all these things too!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  8288.  
  8289.  
  8290.  
  8291. &lt;p&gt;Although they didn&amp;#8217;t disclose what the singer has been diagnosed with, the star said he had been advised to stay put.&lt;/p&gt;
  8292.  
  8293.  
  8294.  
  8295. &lt;p&gt;The Stereophonics were due to play a string of concerts in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/australia/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;, kicking off on October 17 in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sydney/&quot;&gt;Sydney&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8296.  
  8297.  
  8298.  
  8299. &lt;p&gt;They were then set to head to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dubai/&quot;&gt;Dubai&lt;/a&gt; on October 29 for a show at the Coca &lt;span id=&quot;a362becf-dd23-48e8-bfb8-a5f64944b6fc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Cola&lt;/span&gt; Arena. &lt;/p&gt;
  8300.  
  8301.  
  8302.  
  8303. &lt;p&gt;The band, known for hit like Handbags and Gladrags and Dakota, did reveal that the remaining UK dates, which kick off in &lt;span id=&quot;71826e51-9c7c-49ca-9c88-951449dc5b98&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Birmingham&lt;/span&gt; on December 3, are currently unaffected.&lt;/p&gt;
  8304.  
  8305.  
  8306.  
  8307. &lt;p&gt;Taking to social media, frontman Kelly said: &amp;#8220;I am gutted, saddened and disappointed to inform you all, that due to a displaced jaw joint (not caused by singing folks &amp;#8211; just one of life&amp;#8217;s tense dizzying &lt;span id=&quot;1409863f-cce4-43ce-b704-4fb4517cdd3b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;mysteries&lt;/span&gt;!) the upcoming &lt;span id=&quot;8511a95d-1c26-4c13-b99b-97490d666456&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/span&gt; and Dubai shows are cancelled.&lt;/p&gt;
  8308.  
  8309.  
  8310.  
  8311. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Refunds will be given at point of purchase. Flying long distance is not medically advised. The UK tour in December is still set to go ahead as planned.&lt;/p&gt;
  8312.  
  8313.  
  8314.  
  8315. &lt;p&gt;Continuing, the heartbroken star said: &amp;#8220;I have cancelled no more than 4 shows in 30 years and I hope you can trust this decision was not taken lightly. &lt;/p&gt;
  8316.  
  8317.  
  8318.  
  8319. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I work hard to put on a great show every night, my prep starts in the morning through to showtime.&lt;/p&gt;
  8320.  
  8321.  
  8322.  
  8323. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I respect you as audience members and I respect my crew and band brothers, the bed on which I lay, too much to travel with a doubt. Physio Rehabilitation and healing is the priority right now. &lt;/p&gt;

  8449. &lt;p&gt;THE drama on Married At First Sight UK is hitting fever pitch and it looks like it’s about to be cranked up a notch in tonight’s instalment.&lt;/p&gt;
  8450.  
  8451.  
  8452.  
  8453. &lt;p&gt;A preview for tonight’s episode shows &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Dean and Sarah (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36897382/mafs-uks-sarah-gets-intimate-with-dean-body-shaming/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Dean&amp;#8217;s friend take Sarah&lt;/a&gt; to task after she admitted she wasn’t attracted to her husband and likened his body to a “care-bear”.&lt;/p&gt;

  8462.  
  8463.  
  8464.  
  8465. &lt;p&gt;In the clip, Dean’s friend asks Sarah: “Were you disrespectful?,” to which she is seen responding: “I said I got the ick.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8466.  
  8467.  
  8468.  
  8469. &lt;p&gt;Dean’s pal says to the camera: “It’s f*****g muggy.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8470.  
  8471.  
  8472.  
  8473. &lt;p&gt;The groom is then sat down with his friend as he expresses: “I don’t ever wanna be disrespected.” &lt;/p&gt;
  8474.  
  8475.  
  8476.  
  8477. &lt;p&gt;His loyal pal says: “She shouldn’t be allowed to say s**t and get away with it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8478.  
  8479.  
  8480.  
  8481. &lt;p&gt;A confused Dean tells the camera: “Do I stay and fight or do I let go?”&lt;/p&gt;
  8482.  
  8483.  
  8484.  
  8485. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/married-at-first-sight/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Married At First Sight&lt;/a&gt; viewers will have tune into the episode tonight to see the drama unfold.&lt;/p&gt;
  8486.  
  8487.  
  8488.  
  8489. &lt;p&gt;The pair previously got into an argument when she &lt;a aria-label=&quot;came onto one of the E4 hit show’s crew members (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36899650/mafs-chaos-as-huge-argument-erupts-between-sarah-dean/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;came onto one of the E4 hit show’s crew members&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8490.  
  8491.  
  8492.  
  8493. &lt;p&gt;Dean said in a confessional that Sarah told the unnamed member of the crew, “I’d be all over you if you were straight”, in comments that further had him questioning her feelings towards him.&lt;/p&gt;
  8494.  
  8495.  
  8496.  
  8497. &lt;p&gt;He explained: “A member of the crew came down when we were drinking, and Sarah said ‘Oh, if you were straight, I’d be all over you’.&lt;/p&gt;
  8498.  
  8499.  
  8500.  
  8501. &lt;p&gt;“Made me feel like, I don’t know if she’ll ever feel that way about me.&lt;/p&gt;

  8524.  
  8525. &lt;p&gt;“So last night, we had a massive argument, cos I was like, ‘Do you think you’ll ever fall for me?’ She said ‘I don&amp;#8217;t know’, and it did hurt.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8526.  
  8527.  
  8528.  
  8529. &lt;p&gt;Sarah, who admitted to the cameras “I put my foot in it again”, acknowledged her questionable comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  8530.  
  8531.  
  8532.  
  8533. &lt;p&gt;She continued: “I now have learnt from that, and I have been apologising to Dean today.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8534.  
  8535.  
  8536.  
  8537. &lt;p&gt;Dean was eager to get over the hurdle, and entered the dinner party by Sarah’s side &amp;#8211; though other grooms, including Joe Wood, questioned why she would make a comment like that.&lt;/p&gt;
  8538.  
  8539.  
  8540.  
  8541. &lt;p&gt;The pair later sat down with the show’s &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dating/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/a&gt; coach Mel Schlling as they &lt;a aria-label=&quot;explained exactly what had happened (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36921997/mafs-hit-ofcom-complaints-fans-slam-experts-bullying-bride/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;explained exactly what had happened&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8547. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Mafs couples that have stood the test of time&lt;/h3&gt;
  8548. &lt;/div&gt;
  8549. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  8552. &lt;div&gt;
  8553. &lt;p&gt;Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  8554. &lt;p&gt;The pair couldn&amp;#8217;t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam&amp;#8217;s Doncaster home.&lt;/p&gt;
  8555. &lt;p&gt;Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.&lt;/p&gt;
  8556. &lt;p&gt;Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  8557. &lt;p&gt;Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out &amp;#8211; and excited for everything to come.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8558. &lt;p&gt;Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  8559. &lt;p&gt;Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.&lt;/p&gt;
  8560. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.&lt;/p&gt;
  8561. &lt;p&gt;“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’&lt;/p&gt;
  8562. &lt;p&gt;“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8563. &lt;p&gt;Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.&lt;/p&gt;
  8564. &lt;p&gt;Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna&amp;#8217;s vegan lifestyle, the show&amp;#8217;s first same sex pairing are still going strong.&lt;/p&gt;
  8565. &lt;p&gt;They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.&lt;/p&gt;
  8566. &lt;p&gt;Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8567. &lt;/div&gt;
  8568. &lt;/div&gt;
  8569. &lt;/div&gt;
  8571.  
  8572.  
  8573.  
  8574. &lt;p&gt;Sarah explained to Dean: “It was just jokey banter but you weren&amp;#8217;t happy and I get it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8575.  
  8576.  
  8577.  
  8578. &lt;p&gt;Dean said: &amp;#8220;When I heard her say that, I thought damn, is she ever going to say that about me?. Like, I just want to hear that said to me from my wife.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8579.  
  8580.  
  8581.  
  8582. &lt;p&gt;Mel explained: &amp;#8220;I think Dean what you have to be careful of is that you don&amp;#8217;t take the blame for something someone else has done.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8583.  
  8584.  
  8585.  
  8586. &lt;p&gt;Sarah agreed and said: &amp;#8220;Don&amp;#8217;t pretend that you&amp;#8217;re okay all the time. I&amp;#8217;d rather you said.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8587.  
  8588.  
  8589.  
  8590. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think what we&amp;#8217;d all rather here Sarah, to be totally honest is that you stop doing it,&amp;#8221; said Mel.&lt;/p&gt;
  8591.  
  8592.  
  8593.  
  8594. &lt;p&gt;Sarah replied: &amp;#8220;Yeah, I will yeah absolutely.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8595.  
  8596.  
  8597.  
  8598. &lt;p&gt;Mel continued: &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;ve said something disrespectful, you&amp;#8217;ve apologised. You&amp;#8217;ve said something disrespectful, you&amp;#8217;ve apologised. It&amp;#8217;s time to take responsibility.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8599.  
  8600.  
  8601.  
  8602. &lt;p&gt;A visibly upset Sarah nodded her head and agreed.&lt;/p&gt;
  8603.  
  8604.  
  8605.  
  8606. &lt;p&gt;Mel added: &amp;#8220;And not to just say you&amp;#8217;ve got the hots for some guy. You know that&amp;#8217;s very immature sort of 15-year-old behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  8607.  
  8608.  
  8609.  
  8610. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;re an adult and you&amp;#8217;re in a serious relationship here. There&amp;#8217;s a lot at stake.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8611.  
  8612.  
  8613.  
  8614. &lt;p&gt;Sarah then apologised for her behaviour, before she broke into tears and explained that she was not a disrespectful person.&lt;/p&gt;
  8615.  
  8616.

  8678.  
  8679.  
  8680.  
  8681. &lt;p&gt;And, Zemfira shared footage of a girl precariously balancing on a beam while a train passed below her.&lt;/p&gt;
  8682.  
  8683.  
  8684.  
  8685. &lt;p&gt;She also shared a clip where she was on train tracks, as reported by &lt;a href=&quot;https://nypost.com/2025/10/07/us-news/12-year-old-girl-posted-terrifying-videos-before-nyc-subway-surfing-tragedy-does-whatever-she-wants/&quot;&gt;The New York Post.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8690.  
  8691.  
  8692.  
  8693. &lt;p&gt;She told Zemfira that subway surfing was “dangerous&amp;#8221; but said she was a thrillseeker.&lt;/p&gt;
  8694.  
  8695.  
  8696.

  8702.

  8704.  
  8705. &lt;p&gt;Nataliya found out her daughter had been killed while watching the news, as reported by the Fox affiliate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fox5ny.com/news/brooklyn-girl-12-killed-subway-surfing-friend&quot;&gt;WNYW-TV.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8751.  
  8752.  
  8753. &lt;p&gt;“No parent should ever have to face the pain of losing a child, and no child should lose their life in such a tragic way,” he wrote on &lt;span id=&quot;fd55f729-ee05-4c01-95e0-9bc36f4f996b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;GoFundMe&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8758.  
  8759.  
  8760.  
  8761. &lt;p&gt;Five people have died as a result of subway surfing, according to &lt;span id=&quot;ed595ba3-03c5-411e-9b9f-11ef17d3ded3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/span&gt; cops.&lt;/p&gt;

  8818.  
  8819.  
  8820.  
  8821. &lt;p&gt;But the 29-year-old still plans to return to &lt;span id=&quot;00708b3c-107c-434e-acb2-9c13d2152ac7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Old Trafford&lt;/span&gt; for their &lt;span id=&quot;697cadf3-c3d5-449b-8849-229b3ca5b4fc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;ee0f73ff-e3bc-4359-9dc6-0d23c980ab8f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pre-season&lt;/span&gt; in the &lt;span id=&quot;7940565b-43c2-4764-a93d-979e5f77f212&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8830.  
  8831.  
  8832.  
  8833. &lt;p&gt;Onana joined Trabzonspor on a season-long loan last month, with the Turkish club covering his £170,000 weekly wages in full.&lt;/p&gt;
  8834.  
  8835.  
  8836.  
  8837. &lt;p&gt;The 29-year-old was jettisoned by United after two years, with his last appearance marred by costly errors in the humiliating &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-cup/&quot;&gt;League Cup&lt;/a&gt; elimination by &lt;span id=&quot;19ffb03f-4372-4295-8a3b-ac371a704a9e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;League Two&lt;/span&gt; side &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/2061093/grimsby-town-fc/&quot;&gt;Grimsby Town&lt;/a&gt; in August.&lt;/p&gt;
  8838.  
  8839.  
  8840.  
  8841. &lt;p&gt;Sources close to Onana admit the goalkeeper was mentally low after two turbulent seasons in &lt;span id=&quot;41b61658-7f5b-48c3-a0dd-081d73547b4c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/span&gt;, where he played 102 times.&lt;/p&gt;
  8842.  
  8843.  
  8844.  
  8845. &lt;p&gt;Onana feels more relaxed and has regained confidence at Trabzonspor, who are second in the Turkish league behind champions &lt;span id=&quot;81989cf3-116e-4244-a49b-0c303d7ed2a5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Galatasaray&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8850.

  8854.  
  8855.  
  8856.  
  8857. &lt;p&gt;Well-placed sources say Onana needed love from a club and its supporters following his chastening time at United.&lt;/p&gt;
  8858.  
  8859.  
  8860.

  8870.  
  8871.  
  8872.  
  8873. &lt;p&gt;Onana privately accepts he struggled at United, where he conceded several saveable goals across two &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/campaigns/&quot;&gt;campaigns&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8874.

  8949.  
  8950.  
  8951.  
  8952. &lt;p&gt;The Portugal legend, 40, has joined the Three Comma Club after signing a stunning new deal in Saudi Arabia.&lt;/p&gt;

  8964. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cristiano-ronaldo/&quot;&gt;Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt; joined &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/23509439/al-nassr/&quot;&gt;Al-Nassr&lt;/a&gt; in 2023 after leaving &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; and penned a record contract worth £173million per YEAR.&lt;/p&gt;
  8965.  
  8966.  
  8967.  
  8968. &lt;p&gt;The veteran was then linked with a move away after entering the final stages of his deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  8969.  
  8970.  
  8971.  
  8972. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35583551/cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-mega-contract/&quot;&gt;Ronaldo ended up signing fresh terms&lt;/a&gt; with his Middle Eastern side on even higher wages.&lt;/p&gt;
  8973.  
  8974.  
  8975.  
  8976. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-10-08/cristiano-ronaldo-is-first-football-billionaire-after-saudi-al-nassr-deal&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Bloomberg (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bloomberg&lt;/a&gt;, CR7 is now set to bank a mind-boggling £492m over the next two years.&lt;/p&gt;
  8977.  
  8978.  
  8979.  
  8980. &lt;p&gt;And that has seen his net worth rise to £1.045bn – making him the first billionaire footballer in history.&lt;/p&gt;
  8981.  
  8982.  
  8983.  
  8984. &lt;p&gt;It’s seen him go clear of rival &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lionel-messi/&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;, who trails Ronaldo with a net worth of £620m.&lt;/p&gt;
  8985.  
  8986.  
  8987.  
  8988. &lt;p&gt;But Bloomberg adds that the Argentina World Cup winner could eventually close the gap, as he stands to earn a hefty stake in MLS side Inter Miami once he retires.&lt;/p&gt;
  8989.  
  8990.  
  8991.  
  8992. &lt;p&gt;Ronaldo’s riches have been bolstered by a career of lucrative contracts with clubs including United, Real Madrid and Juventus.&lt;/p&gt;
  8993.

  9001.  
  9002.  
  9003.  
  9004. &lt;p&gt;Ronaldo has partnered with the likes of Nike, Armani, Herbalife and Tag Heuer throughout the years.&lt;/p&gt;

  9049.  
  9050.  
  9051.  
  9052. &lt;p&gt;It means the gulf between Ronaldo and his rivals is vast, with Messi £400m behind in the net worth race of current players.&lt;/p&gt;

  9069.  
  9070.  
  9071.  
  9072. &lt;p&gt;But the Barcelona legend himself is clear in second place, with closest competitor Neymar boasting the third-biggest net worth with £280m.&lt;/p&gt;
  9073.  
  9074.  
  9075.  
  9076. &lt;p&gt;The gulf continues to be large, as fourth-place Kylian Mbappe has a net worth of £186m.&lt;/p&gt;
  9077.  
  9078.  
  9079.  
  9080. &lt;p&gt;The top five is rounded off by Karim Benzema, who has £150m in the bank.&lt;/p&gt;
  9081.  
  9082.  
  9083.

  9140.  
  9141.  
  9142.  
  9143. &lt;p&gt;That&amp;#8217;s a huge discount of over 20% compared to Tesco and Ocado, where the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/305837579&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;very same pack sells for £8.50 (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;very same pack sells for £8.50&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  9144.  
  9145.  
  9146.  
  9147. &lt;p&gt;The reduced price means that each roll costs just 26.1p, compared to the usual cost of 42.5p.&lt;/p&gt;
  9148.  
  9149.  
  9150.  
  9151. &lt;p&gt;This is officially the cheapest this product has been all year, according to Amazon price tracker CamelCamelCamel, making it the perfect time to stock up.&lt;/p&gt;
  9152.  
  9153.  
  9154.  
  9155. &lt;p&gt;However, it&amp;#8217;s worth being quick — over 60,000 Amazon customers have taken advantage of the deal over the past month already.&lt;/p&gt;

  9196.  
  9197.  
  9198.  
  9199. &lt;p&gt;The multipack has also earned itself an &amp;#8216;Amazon&amp;#8217;s Choice&amp;#8217; badge, indicating &amp;#8220;highly rated, well-priced products available to ship immediately.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9200.  
  9201.  
  9202.  
  9203. &lt;p&gt;According to a wave of positive customer reviews, the success of the bulk buy is down to its quality and comfort.&lt;/p&gt;
  9204.  
  9205.  
  9206.  
  9207. &lt;p&gt;One shopper described the product as having &amp;#8220;impressive quality at a good price,&amp;#8221; praising its &amp;#8220;soft, cushioned feel.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  9208.

  9210.  
  9211. &lt;p&gt;Made with three layers, each sheet is designed to be stronger and more comfortable than standard 2-ply options.&lt;/p&gt;

  9238. &lt;p class=&quot;article-readmore-text__headline&quot;&gt;SWEET SAVINGS&lt;/p&gt;
  9239. &lt;p class=&quot;article-readmore-text__subdeck&quot;&gt;Giant 2kg Cadbury Heroes box slashed to £20 for last day of Prime Day sale&lt;/p&gt;
  9240. &lt;/a&gt;
  9241. &lt;/div&gt;
  9242. &lt;/div&gt;
  9243. &lt;/div&gt;
  9244. &lt;div class=&quot;article-readmore__content-clear&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  9246.  
  9247.  
  9248.  
  9249. &lt;p&gt;The reviews also highlight the convenience of the 24-roll pack. One customer noted that it &amp;#8220;lasts a long time&amp;#8230; and means fewer shopping trips,&amp;#8221; which is always a bonus — the multipack contains a total of 3,600 sheets.&lt;/p&gt;
  9250.  
  9251.  
  9252.  
  9253. &lt;p&gt;However, some reviewers did point out that the large pack takes up a large amount of storage space, which is worth taking into consideration.&lt;/p&gt;
  9254.  
  9255.  
  9256.  
  9257. &lt;p&gt;Amazon&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Big Deal Days&amp;#8221; event, which is often seen as a continuation of the July Prime Day sale,  started yesterday (October 7) and ends tonight.&lt;/p&gt;
  9258.  
  9259.  
  9260.  
  9261. &lt;p&gt;However, that doesn&amp;#8217;t mean that this deal will still be around by tonight — prices often change, and popular products are known to sell out.&lt;/p&gt;
  9262.  
  9263.  
  9264.  
  9265. &lt;p&gt;The sale is open to all Prime members, and those without a membership can access the deals by signing up for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3KWWXbU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;free 30-day trial (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;free 30-day trial&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9266.  
  9267.  
  9268.  
  9269. &lt;p&gt;This isn&amp;#8217;t the only great deal we&amp;#8217;ve seen on household essentials deal we&amp;#8217;ve seen so far this Prime Day. &lt;/p&gt;
  9270.  
  9271.  
  9272.  
  9273. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s also been a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;great deal on a multipack of Felix cat food (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/36922035/felix-cat-food-multipack-slashed-prime-day/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;great deal on a multipack of Felix cat food&lt;/a&gt;, reduced from £14.77 to £8.54. &lt;/p&gt;
  9274.  
  9275.  
  9276.  
  9277. &lt;p&gt;And we&amp;#8217;ve also spotted a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/technology/36936940/mums-dads-waterwipes-slashed-amazon-prime-day/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;great deal on a bulk buy of WaterWipes&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  9303. &lt;p&gt;A MUM has been left flabbergasted after&lt;strong&gt; finding out how much her son&amp;#8217;s school is asking for a trip abroad.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9304.  
  9305.  
  9306.  
  9307. &lt;p&gt;Gobsmacked, mum-of-six Carla Hoskins took to&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt; TikTok&lt;/a&gt; after reading the email inviting parents to fork out an astronomical amount for a trip to Kenya next year.&lt;/p&gt;

  9316.  
  9317.  
  9318.  
  9319. &lt;p&gt;According to the mother, she&amp;#8217;s already decided her teenage son, 14, will be missing out on the trip &amp;#8211; as the total costs have been calculated to be over £2,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  9320.  
  9321.  
  9322.  
  9323. &lt;p&gt;Furious, she broke the news to her child in a video on TikTok.&lt;/p&gt;
  9324.  
  9325.  
  9326.  
  9327. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;By the way, if he&amp;#8217;s watching it &amp;#8211; you&amp;#8217;re not f*****g going.&lt;/p&gt;
  9328.  
  9329.  
  9330.  
  9331. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;£2,000 &amp;#8211; actually over £2,000. I think it was £2,400 [&amp;#8230;] &amp;#8211; that&amp;#8217;s half of a family f*****g holiday,&amp;#8221; she said in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@carla_hoskins/video/7558432985473699094&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;the clip (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the clip&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9332.  
  9333.  
  9334.  
  9335. &lt;p&gt;Carla went on and added that the majority of the pupils &amp;#8211; around &amp;#8221;90%&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; &amp;#8221;cannot  f*****g afford&amp;#8221; to fork out &amp;#8221;that amount&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9336.  
  9337.  
  9338.  
  9339. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Do you know what you can do with that invite? Shove it up your a**,&amp;#8221; she slammed the school following the shocking email.&lt;/p&gt;
  9340.  
  9341.  
  9342.  
  9343. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Where do they think people get that kind of money from?&amp;#8221; wondered Carla who posts under the username @&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@carla_hoskins&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;carla_hoskins (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;carla_hoskins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9347. &lt;p&gt;Millions of parents across the UK are jostling with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/28782937/school-trip-fees-reach-astronomical-highs-costs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the rising cost of school trip&lt;/a&gt;, with nearly a third saying they are now too expensive, according to new research by &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Zurich Municipal (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.zurich.co.uk/news-and-insight/parents-struggling-to-fund-cost-of-school-trips&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Zurich Municipal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9348.  
  9349.  
  9350.  
  9351. &lt;p&gt;It found the average cost of a trip of £430 &amp;#8211; but many cost more than that.&lt;/p&gt;
  9352.  
  9353.  
  9354.  
  9355. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;WHAT DO SCHOOLS SAY?&lt;/h2&gt;
  9356.  
  9357.  
  9358.  
  9359. &lt;p&gt;The financial strain is evident not just for parents but also for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot;&gt;schools&lt;/a&gt;. More than two-thirds (69%) of school leaders, according to a survey by the National Association of Head &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/teachers/&quot;&gt;Teachers&lt;/a&gt; (NAHT), have resorted to grants and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fundraising/&quot;&gt;fundraising&lt;/a&gt; to cover extracurricular activities. &lt;/p&gt;

  9383. &lt;p&gt;Melissa Heppell, Principal of Atlantic Academy Primary in Portland, Dorset, highlighted the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on school trips. &lt;/p&gt;
  9384.  
  9385.  
  9386.  
  9387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When we started our end-of-year residential to London six to seven years ago, the entire Year 6 participated.&lt;/p&gt;
  9388.  
  9389.  
  9390.  
  9391. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This year, about a third won&amp;#8217;t be going because it has become too expensive,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  9392.  
  9393.  
  9394.  
  9395. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The cost has risen from just under £300 for a four-day trip to over £460, driven by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9396.  
  9397.  
  9398.  
  9399. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Despite reducing the trip&amp;#8217;s duration and opting for more affordable accommodations and transportation, many parents in the area still find it unaffordable.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9400.

  9410. HAVING children is expensive, but there&amp;#039;s plenty of ways to get ahead of the game and make sure you&amp;#039;re never wasting your cash. &lt;/p&gt;
  9412. &lt;div&gt;
  9413. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Set a budget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9414. &lt;p&gt;Planning in advance of big events like school trips, birthdays, and Christmas will help prevent you from overspending nearer the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  9415. &lt;p&gt;So, before you do anything, you need to determine what you can afford rather than what you’d like to spend.&lt;/p&gt;
  9416. &lt;p&gt;Thinking about this a couple of paydays ahead can give you a bit of extra buffer as you can use clever ways to save and shop smart to give yourself a little more in your budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  9417. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eat smart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9418. &lt;p&gt;Being smart with your food shop is not just about meal planning, which can save you a lot of money on your grocery bill.&lt;/p&gt;
  9419. &lt;p&gt;To save even more money in your weekly budget, which you can use towards big events, try to think up new and creative ways to use your leftovers.&lt;/p&gt;
  9420. &lt;p&gt;Not only will you reduce food waste, but you can essentially create a whole new meal for free.&lt;/p&gt;
  9421. &lt;p&gt;You could even use a food-sharing app to get free food from other members of your local community.&lt;/p&gt;
  9422. &lt;p&gt;Check the app to see what you can get for free near you, then create a meal plan around what you get.&lt;/p&gt;
  9423. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join loyalty schemes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9424. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s always worth joining free loyalty programmes, even if you don&amp;#8217;t shop somewhere often, as your points will add up, and you can use them to help you save money.&lt;/p&gt;
  9425. &lt;p&gt;Some programmes offer really great rewards.&lt;/p&gt;
  9426. &lt;p&gt;For example, with Tesco Clubcard, instead of using your loyalty points at their face value, you can get up to three times more value with hundreds of rewards.&lt;/p&gt;
  9427. &lt;p&gt;Exchange your points for experiences and gifts the whole family would love.&lt;/p&gt;
  9428. &lt;p&gt;Or you could use your Clubcard points towards the cost of a family meal or gift a magazine subscription.&lt;/p&gt;
  9429. &lt;p&gt;Several supermarkets offer different loyalty schemes, we always recommend looking around for the most rewarding ones.&lt;/p&gt;
  9430. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check for benefits&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9431. &lt;p&gt;Make sure you&amp;#8217;re getting all the benefits you&amp;#8217;re entitled to.&lt;/p&gt;
  9432. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re pregnant, check what maternity allowance you should be getting.&lt;/p&gt;
  9433. &lt;p&gt;You can also get free NHS prescriptions and dental treatment when you&amp;#8217;re expecting.&lt;/p&gt;
  9434. &lt;p&gt;You might be entitled to Universal Credit and you should make sure you&amp;#8217;re claiming your child benefit too.&lt;/p&gt;
  9435. &lt;p&gt;Collectively, you could be eligible for hundreds of pounds of support each month, so do check you&amp;#8217;re getting everything you&amp;#8217;re entitled to.&lt;/p&gt;
  9436. &lt;p&gt;You can find out more&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9437. &lt;/div&gt;

  9445.  
  9446.  
  9447.  
  9448. &lt;p&gt;Posted just one day ago, the clip has already racked up more than a whopping 96k views, with hundreds of parents racing to share their shocking school emails.&lt;/p&gt;
  9449.  
  9450.  
  9451.  
  9452. &lt;p&gt;One person said: &amp;#8221;One of the mums at my daughter’s gymnastics said her daughter’s senior school wanted…… £4300 for a 2 week trip for a safari in 2027.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9453.  
  9454.  
  9455.  
  9456. &lt;p&gt;A second chimed in: &amp;#8221;I think schools should stop doing this it’s unfair on people that will never be able to afford it.&lt;/p&gt;
  9457.  
  9458.  
  9459.  
  9460. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221; Our school cancelled world book day for the cost of living reason.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9461.  
  9462.  
  9463.  
  9464. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;My daughter&amp;#8217;s school want to take them to Malaysia for 13 night… guess how much?… £4,936. Not happening!&amp;#8221; someone else commented.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  9507. &lt;p&gt;FERRARI has unveiled a new test track for its motors as it gears up for the release of its very first all electric vehicle.&lt;/p&gt;
  9508.  
  9509.  
  9510.  
  9511. &lt;p&gt;The iconic sports car manufacturer’s debut EV is set to go on sale in October 2026 and is one of the industry&amp;#8217;s closest guarded secrets.&lt;/p&gt;

  9520.  
  9521.  
  9522.  
  9523. &lt;p&gt;Specific details about the car, which is being developed at &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ferrari/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ferrari&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s Maranello base, remain limited, with prototypes undergoing extensive testing on public roads &amp;#8211; with heavy camouflage.&lt;/p&gt;
  9524.  
  9525.  
  9526.  
  9527. &lt;p&gt;Ferrari’s biggest commitment is ensuring its electric vehicles retain the emotional appeal of its famous combustion &lt;span id=&quot;b8470a3e-9439-46dc-b08b-d3125a6f694c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;models&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#8211; which includes creating a unique &amp;#8220;sound signature&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9528.  
  9529.  
  9530.  
  9531. &lt;p&gt;While the design of the EV hasn&amp;#8217;t been revealed, it may be similar in size to the Purosangue SUV, although spy images of the car on test runs suggests it’ll be slightly smaller.&lt;/p&gt;
  9532.  
  9533.  
  9534.  
  9535. &lt;p&gt;To support the development of this bold new model, Ferrari has unveiled the E-Vortex test track &amp;#8211; a facility specifically designed for advanced testing of electric vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;
  9536.  
  9537.  
  9538.  
  9539. &lt;p&gt;This track will allow for the Italian brand to conduct controlled, repeatable testing of performance and comfort, ensuring the electric Ferrari meets their lofty standards.&lt;/p&gt;
  9540.  
  9541.  
  9542.  
  9543. &lt;p&gt;Located &lt;span id=&quot;5bf06fab-d9d4-450c-97fd-fe7a9bd78ef3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; to its renowned Fiorano proving ground in Maranello, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/italy/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;, this development is part of the company&amp;#8217;s plan to shift prototype testing away from public roads and into a controlled environment.&lt;/p&gt;
  9544.  
  9545.  
  9546.  
  9547. &lt;p&gt;Impressively, the track was constructed in less than four months on a 37,000-square-metre site close to the Fiorano &lt;span id=&quot;d8bcb763-f1c6-4863-a3dd-838a5220eb07&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;race&lt;/span&gt; track, which will also continue to operate.&lt;/p&gt;
  9548.  
  9549.  
  9550.  
  9551. &lt;p&gt;Ferrari claims the E-Vortex track &lt;span id=&quot;5fc58553-bb24-4f42-8ac5-15f39805f9df&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;features&lt;/span&gt; multiple sectors tailored to evaluate different aspects of their test &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cars/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/a&gt;, including two wide, banked curves along with a 600-metre central straight, as well as various bends with differing sharpness and width.&lt;/p&gt;
  9552.  
  9553.  
  9554.  
  9555. &lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the surfacing of the track was developed using Ferrari&amp;#8217;s expertise to allow for detailed analysis of comfort and performance.&lt;/p&gt;
  9556.  
  9557.  
  9558.  
  9559. &lt;p&gt;Moving to a test track is significant, as Ferrari prototypes are frequently spotted on public roads which lead to spy photographs that often give away upcoming models ahead of official announcements.&lt;/p&gt;

  9583. &lt;p&gt;Recent sightings of the long-awaited Ferrari EV have been joined by shots of other models such as the Amalfi, 12Cilindri and 296 Speciale in camouflaged prototype form.&lt;/p&gt;
  9584.  
  9585.  
  9586.  
  9587. &lt;p&gt;The first car to undergo testing at the E-Vortex is expected to be Ferrari&amp;#8217;s debut electric vehicle, which will be detailed later this week &amp;#8211; before its full unveiling next &lt;span id=&quot;de6d681a-412f-4388-a147-b836fedfbc65&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;spring&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9588.  
  9589.  
  9590.  
  9591. &lt;p&gt;This comes as one of Ferrari&amp;#8217;s main rivals, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bentley/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bentley&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/36811000/british-car-brand-snubs-evs-for-petrol-engines/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;recently revealed they are shifting their own EV strategy&lt;/a&gt; as they now plan to renew three models with petrol engines, instead of electric.&lt;/p&gt;
  9592.  
  9593.  
  9594.  
  9595. &lt;p&gt;The British firm &lt;span&gt;headquartered in Crewe,&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cheshire/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Cheshire&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; has decided to delay its EV targets after noting a decline in demand for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/luxury/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;luxury&lt;/a&gt; EVs.&lt;/p&gt;
  9596.  
  9597.  
  9598.  
  9599. &lt;p&gt;The company originally planned to transition to a fully electric lineup by 2030 &amp;#8211; under its Beyond100 strategy.&lt;/p&gt;
  9600.  
  9601.  
  9602.  
  9603. &lt;p&gt;These previous plans included offering only plug-in hybrids and EVs by 2026, then eventually phasing out hybrids for a zero-emission lineup.&lt;/p&gt;
  9604.  
  9605.  
  9606.  
  9607. &lt;p&gt;This strategy, though, has been amended due to insufficient customer interest in all-electric luxury vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;

  9678.  
  9679.  
  9680.  
  9681. &lt;p&gt;It has been given a nostalgic twist and comes wrapped in retro-inspired packaging to mark its return.&lt;/p&gt;
  9682.  
  9683.  
  9684.  
  9685. &lt;p&gt;Tara Byrnes, Senior Brand Manager for Diet Coke Great Britain, said the company “have been listening and are so excited to announce the return of Diet Cherry Coke”. &lt;/p&gt;
  9686.  
  9687.

  9694.  
  9695.  
  9696.  
  9697. &lt;p&gt;Tara added: “The comeback of this retro icon is the tasty throwback that fans have been hoping for. &lt;/p&gt;
  9698.  
  9699.  
  9700.  
  9701. &lt;p&gt;“Some love a classic, and others a twist; for some this little cherry-flavoured ritual will give an opportunity to make Diet Coke breaks reflect ‘your taste’ even more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  9702.  
  9703.  
  9704.  
  9705. &lt;p&gt;“Returning exclusively for a limited time, the flavour you love, cherry, is back – but get it while you can!”&lt;/p&gt;

  9711.  
  9712.  
  9713. &lt;p&gt;It comes in 24 x 300ml multipack cans, 500ml bottles and 2L bottles. &lt;/p&gt;
  9714.  
  9715.

  9718.  
  9719.  
  9720.  
  9721. &lt;p&gt;News of the announcement was shared widely on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; with shoppers posting hundreds of comments on sites, including Facebook group Newsfoods UK.&lt;/p&gt;

  9730.  
  9731.  
  9732.  
  9733. &lt;p&gt;A third, however, was not so impressed at the thought of its return, posting: “Gross!”&lt;/p&gt;
  9734.  
  9735.  
  9736.  
  9737. &lt;p&gt;Over on TikTok, Coke fans were just as vocal.&lt;/p&gt;
  9738.  
  9739.  
  9740.  
  9741. &lt;p&gt;One posted: “This feels so monumental. It’s so good.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  9745. &lt;p&gt;“It’s everything. I can’t stop drinking this and I’m actually so sad that this is limited-edition.”&lt;/p&gt;

  9769. &lt;p&gt;The news of Cherry Coke’s return comes just weeks after a new flavour of Coke hit shelves, which also provoked a mixed reaction from shoppers.&lt;/p&gt;
  9770.  
  9771.  
  9772.  
  9773. &lt;p&gt;Cans of Orange Cream &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/coca-cola/&quot;&gt;Coca-Cola&lt;/a&gt; were spotted on sale causing quite a stir with consumers.&lt;/p&gt;
  9774.  
  9775.  
  9776.  
  9777. &lt;p&gt;A social media post contained two pictures of the orange-coloured cans alongside the caption: &amp;#8220;Orange Cream Coca-Cola spotted at Home Bargains!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9778.  
  9779.  
  9780.  
  9781. &lt;p&gt;However, shoppers had mixed views as they flooded the comments section.&lt;/p&gt;
  9782.  
  9783.  
  9784.  
  9785. &lt;p&gt;One user fumed: &amp;#8220;Just leave things alone.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9786.  
  9787.  
  9788.  
  9789. &lt;p&gt;A second stated: &amp;#8220;They just taste like Vanilla Coke.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  9822.  
  9823.  
  9824.  
  9825. &lt;p&gt;Well, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marks-spencer/&quot;&gt;M&amp;amp;S&lt;/a&gt; shoppers think they&amp;#8217;ve found the perfect item of clothing so you can do just that &amp;#8211; and have even gone so far as to call it an &amp;#8220;amazing must-have.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9837. &lt;p&gt;And perhaps the best part of all? It won&amp;#8217;t break the bank either.&lt;/p&gt;
  9838.  
  9839.

  9842.  
  9843.  
  9844.  
  9845. &lt;p&gt;In fact, delighted shoppers have been so impressed, revealed told how they&amp;#8217;ve bought a third one because it&amp;#8217;s so loved by all the family, while another told how they&amp;#8217;ve snapped it up ready to gift to a relative this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  9846.  
  9847.  
  9848.  
  9849. &lt;p&gt;Available in sizes XS-XL, the product description online says the &amp;#8220;ultra-soft&amp;#8221; cardigan offers &amp;#8220;cloud-like comfort.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9850.  
  9851.  
  9852.  
  9853. &lt;p&gt;Made from plush teddy borg fabric, it&amp;#8217;s complete with two handy pockets and has an easy open front. &lt;/p&gt;
  9854.  
  9855.  
  9856.  
  9857. &lt;p&gt;The popular item is also available in two different colours &amp;#8211; ivory or dark raspberry, so there&amp;#8217;s an option to suit everyone, no matter what their personal taste. &lt;/p&gt;
  9858.  
  9859.  
  9860.  
  9861. &lt;p&gt;So it&amp;#8217;s little surprise it&amp;#8217;s been flooded with five star reviews online, with one person branding it a &amp;#8220;warm fluffy house jacket,&amp;#8221; adding: &amp;#8220;Lovely and cosy. &lt;/p&gt;
  9862.  
  9863.  
  9864.  
  9865. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Not worn yet but sure I will get lots of wear when it gets colder.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9866.  
  9867.  
  9868.  
  9869. &lt;p&gt;A second commented: &amp;#8220;Cozy, warm, comfy. This is the third one Ive bought for a friend and family. We all love it. &lt;/p&gt;
  9870.  
  9871.  
  9872.

  10098. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/extra-large-croc-effect-shopper-burnt-orange-991115926268&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bag,&lt;/a&gt; £16&lt;br /&gt;Big bags are back… In a big way, finally.&lt;br /&gt;This tote screams luxury with its croc effect and burnt orange colour, plus its great for shoving in your laptop, lunch, spare shoes, purse &amp;#8211; essentially everything you need for the day &amp;#8211; all for £16.&lt;/p&gt;
  10099. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/rita-ora-worker-jacket-camel-991112804610&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jacket&lt;/a&gt;, £32&lt;br /&gt;Field jackets are on the backs of celebrities and catwalk models this season with designer brands Barbour, Burberry and Bottega all championing the utilitarian look.&lt;br /&gt;They’re great for chucking over jeans or contrasting with a floral or floaty dress and are the perfect transitional jacket.&lt;/p&gt;
  10100. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/square-neck-leopard-midi-dress-beige-991113252118&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dress&lt;/a&gt;, £18,&lt;br /&gt;You may have seen, heard and read that leopard print isn’t going anywhere for autumn, so to encapsulate the trend this dress is a must.&lt;br /&gt;Sleeves? Check. Midi length? Check. Ultra flattering square neck? Check. It’s got it all.&lt;br /&gt;Pair with black knee high boots or your favourite trainers for the day and dress up with gold heels and accessories for the evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  10101. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/barrel-denim-jeans-mid-blue-991110837510&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jeans&lt;/a&gt;, £16&lt;br /&gt;Barrel, balloon, horseshoe &amp;#8211; whatever you want to call them, they are the must have trouser shape of this season.&lt;br /&gt;I’ve tried Primarks pair and they fit like a dream, are comfortable and flattering.&lt;br /&gt;So if you think you have nothing that hits the trend mark, swapping your go-to denim for this shape will bring you bang up to date.&lt;/p&gt;
  10102. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/faux-leather-heeled-knee-high-boots-black-991112499804&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Boot&lt;/a&gt;s, £24&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#8217;s boot season and instead of feeling like you need to buy one in every colour, length, height &amp;#8211; its best to stick to a pair that you can wear with the majority of your wardrobe.&lt;br /&gt;My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw that this black, knee-high, block heel with flat point and side zip (so there’s no tug of war to get them off at the end of the day) was only £24.&lt;br /&gt;If you buy one thing this season, it should be these.&lt;/p&gt;

  10178. &lt;p&gt;THE MANCHESTER synagogue killer made a 999 call after his attack, saying: “I have killed two Jews in the name of the Islamic State.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10179.  
  10180.  
  10181.  
  10182. &lt;p&gt;Terrorist Jihad al-Shamie, 35, told a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; operator he was responsible for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36900430/synagogue-terror-unfolded-minutes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue last Thursday&lt;/a&gt; morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  10183.  
  10184.  
  10185.

  10191.  
  10192.  
  10193.  
  10194. &lt;p&gt;The Sun Online can reveal how Al-Shamie made the 999 call immediately after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt; into worshippers at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36926892/chilling-moment-terrorists-car-hurtles-towards-synagogue/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;synagogue gates and then stabbing at least two people.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10195.  
  10196.  
  10197.  
  10198. &lt;p&gt;His claim of responsibility and clearly defined motive expressed to the operator prompted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36912251/police-manchester-attack-terrorist-rape-arrest-six-detained/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;counter-terror police to swiftly declare the attack on the synagogue&lt;/a&gt; as a terrorist incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  10199.  
  10200.  
  10201.  
  10202. &lt;p&gt;Despite claiming he was acting on behalf of Islamic State, police and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mi5/&quot;&gt;MI5&lt;/a&gt; have been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36930974/neighbour-called-cops-synagogue-terrorist-preached-kids/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;unable to establish any links between al-Shamie and the terror group&lt;/a&gt; or other proscribed organisations.&lt;/p&gt;
  10203.  
  10204.  
  10205.  
  10206. &lt;p&gt;Security chiefs believe Al-Shamie was a “lone wolf” who carried out the atrocity on his own after being inspired by Islamic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/terrorism/&quot;&gt;terrorism&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10207.  
  10208.  
  10209.  
  10210. &lt;p&gt;The terrorist was shot dead by armed police as he had tried to break into the temple armed with a knife.&lt;/p&gt;
  10211.  
  10212.  
  10213.  
  10214. &lt;p&gt;Two Jewish heroes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36929176/victim-manchester-synagogue-attack-funeral/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, died&lt;/a&gt; in the attack as they tried to stop Al-Shamie.&lt;/p&gt;
  10215.  
  10216.  
  10217.  
  10218. &lt;p&gt;Security guard &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36904382/terror-victim-cancer-survivor-nearly-skipped-synagogue/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mr Daulby suffered fatal gunshot wounds&lt;/a&gt; fired by police at al-Shamie as he stood behind the front door of the synagogue with others.&lt;/p&gt;
  10219.  
  10220.  
  10221.  
  10222. &lt;p&gt;Mr Cravitz was among a group of people who tried to prevent Al-Shamie from storming the synagogue.&lt;/p&gt;
  10223.  
  10224.  
  10225.  
  10226. &lt;p&gt;Worshipper Yoni Finlay was also shot by the police bullet which killed Mr Daulby and is one of three people recovering in hospital from serious injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

  10248.  
  10249.  
  10250. &lt;p&gt;Witnesses told how Al-Shamie yelled &amp;#8220;This is what you’re going to get for killing our children,” in an apparent reference to the Gaza war as he attempted to break into the building armed with a knife.&lt;/p&gt;
  10251.  
  10252.  
  10253.  
  10254. &lt;p&gt;But counter-terror police &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36918735/synagogue-terrorist-jihad-al-shamie-hate-preacher-follower/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;continue to investigate Al-Shamie’s background&lt;/a&gt; to establish what “tipped him over the edge.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10255.  
  10256.  
  10257.  
  10258. &lt;p&gt;Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson says “no stone is being left unturned” by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt; into the attack and every available resource was being used to ensure “we understand precisely what happened.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10259.  
  10260.  
  10261.  
  10262. &lt;p&gt;Six people &amp;#8211; believed to be associates of Al-Shamie’s &amp;#8211; have been arrested under terrorism laws to assess whether they had any knowledge about his attack plans.&lt;/p&gt;
  10263.  
  10264.  
  10265.  
  10266. &lt;p&gt;Two of the suspects &amp;#8211; a man and woman &amp;#8211; were released without charge and the other four remain in custody.&lt;/p&gt;
  10267.  
  10268.  
  10269.  
  10270. &lt;p&gt;Al-Shamie was not known to counter-terror police or the intelligence services at the time of his car and knife attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  10271.  
  10272.  
  10273.  
  10274. &lt;p&gt;But he was on police bail and being investigated over an allegation of rape.&lt;/p&gt;
  10275.  
  10276.  
  10277.  
  10278. &lt;p&gt;Al-Shamie has three young children &amp;#8211; aged three and under &amp;#8211; with a 32-year-old wife.&lt;/p&gt;
  10279.  
  10280.  
  10281.  
  10282. &lt;p&gt;She left him taking their children with her when their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36940213/wife-manchester-synagogue-terrorist-abuse-rape/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;marriage collapsed around six months ago.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10283.  
  10284.  
  10285.  
  10286. &lt;p&gt;Al-Shamie was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36920561/synagogue-terrorist-cheated-wife/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;also married to a second woman&lt;/a&gt;, a white British woman 10 years older than him who converted to Islam four years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  10287.  
  10288.  
  10289.  
  10290. &lt;p&gt;The NHS worker married Al-Shamie around a year ago in secret and only told her family about the Islamic wedding after the Synagogue attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  10291.  
  10292.  
  10293.  
  10294. &lt;p&gt;Pot-smoking Al-Shamie was born in Syria and came to Britain as a young child with his family before becoming a British citizen in 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
  10295.  
  10296.  
  10297.  
  10298. &lt;p&gt;Neighbours told how he became radicalised during Covid and began wearing robes and preaching the Quran to local children.&lt;/p&gt;
  10299.  
  10300.  
  10301.  
  10302. &lt;p&gt;According to The Guardian, one neighbour said she reported Al-Shamie over concerns about his behaviour but it has not been confirmed.&lt;/p&gt;

  10361. &lt;p&gt;But something that can dampen the excitement surrounding Christmas is having to wrap presents &amp;#8211; specifically battling with the sticky tape.&lt;/p&gt;
  10362.

  10378.  
  10379.  
  10380.  
  10381. &lt;p&gt;However, there&amp;#8217;s a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot;&gt;new hack &lt;/a&gt;that&amp;#8217;s blowing people&amp;#8217;s minds, and it&amp;#8217;s sure to be an absolute game changer for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas&quot;&gt;festive wrapping &lt;/a&gt;sessions.&lt;/p&gt;
  10382.  
  10383.  
  10384.  
  10385. &lt;p&gt;Alex&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@alexapple21/video/7557436473683856662&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; took to TikTok (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; took to TikTok&lt;/a&gt; after making the epic discovery, as she admitted she would be &amp;#8220;so embarrassed&amp;#8221; if the hack was already common knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;
  10386.  
  10387.  
  10388.  
  10389. &lt;p&gt;Holding up a standard sticky tape in its dispenser, she said: &amp;#8220;With a small tape, I was always like &amp;#8216;oh I wish I could put it on my tape dispenser&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10390.  
  10391.  
  10392.  
  10393. &lt;p&gt;Alex then showed how the middle of the black section that goes in the centre of the tape to hold it in the dispenser can also be popped out. &lt;/p&gt;
  10394.  
  10395.  
  10396.  
  10397. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Like are you actually kidding me?&amp;#8221; she gasped. &lt;/p&gt;
  10398.  
  10399.  
  10400.  
  10401. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The middle comes out, the little tape pops on there, goes in the dispenser!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10402.  
  10403.  
  10404.  
  10405. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;How have I only just figured this out?&amp;#8221; Alex captioned the TikTok.&lt;/p&gt;
  10406.  
  10407.  
  10408.  
  10409. &lt;p&gt;And the comments section was almost immediately filled with people admitting they also had no idea about the hack until they watched the TikTok.&lt;/p&gt;
  10410.  
  10411.  
  10412.  
  10413. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;WHATTTTT?!&amp;#8221; one wrote. &lt;/p&gt;

  10531. &lt;p&gt;A BRITISH helicopter pilot is facing 20 years in a Spanish prison for stabbing a man to death during a drug-fuelled sex session &amp;#8211; after claiming he feared being filmed and killed.&lt;/p&gt;
  10532.

  10534.  
  10535. &lt;p&gt;Aaron Rainbow, 50, is accused of knifing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/oscar/&quot;&gt;Oscar&lt;/a&gt; Tornero Rovira, 38, six times at the Spaniard’s rural apartment after a planned night of passion spiralled into &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/horror/&quot;&gt;horror&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10548.  
  10549.  
  10550.  
  10551. &lt;p&gt;The pilot has already spent nearly three years in custody as he awaits trial in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1232720/barcelona/&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; with his family comparing the case to a “Netflix Thriller” and accusing Spanish &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; of botching the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10552.  
  10553.  
  10554.  
  10555. &lt;p&gt;They claim crucial electronic evidence has been ignored and destroyed &amp;#8211; evidence they say could back up Rainbow’s claim that he acted in self-defence after becoming convinced he was “being watched by others and set up”.&lt;/p&gt;
  10556.  
  10557.  
  10558.  
  10559. &lt;p&gt;Rainbow says “fight or flight” kicked in after a six-hour drug binge left him paranoid and terrified at the remote property in Vallgorguina, 30 minutes north of Barcelona, in February 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  10560.  
  10561.  
  10562.  
  10563. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/neighbours-2/&quot;&gt;Neighbours&lt;/a&gt; raised the alarm after hearing screams. Police arrived to find Rovira dead and Rainbow in a “confused state” &amp;#8211; firing their guns in the air to subdue him.&lt;/p&gt;
  10564.  
  10565.  
  10566.  
  10567. &lt;p&gt;He immediately confessed to the killing but insisted it was to protect his own life.&lt;/p&gt;
  10568.  
  10569.  
  10570.  
  10571. &lt;p&gt;His family, speaking to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15170171/Brit-faces-20-years-Spanish-jail-Netflix-thriller-murder-Pilot-goes-mans-home-sex-stabs-death-fearing-drugged-KILLED-camera-cops-ignoring-clue-proves-extraordinary-defence.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Daily Mail (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Daily Mail&lt;/a&gt; ahead of the trial, fear a miscarriage of justice.&lt;/p&gt;
  10572.  
  10573.  
  10574.  
  10575. &lt;p&gt;They highlighted a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wi-fi/&quot;&gt;Wi-Fi&lt;/a&gt; router in the house which was removed the day after the killing by a friend of the victim &amp;#8211; and later returned with its internal components destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;
  10576.  
  10577.  
  10578.  
  10579. &lt;p&gt;They claim this prevented any data recovery and that the subsequent data log provided to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; was fake. &lt;/p&gt;
  10580.  
  10581.  
  10582.  
  10583. &lt;p&gt;They say telecoms provider Orange has never supplied records of logged-on users, and that a phone app called iCSee found on Rovira’s phone has not been properly examined.&lt;/p&gt;
  10584.  
  10585.  
  10586.  
  10587. &lt;p&gt;Rainbow’s brother, Dan, said: “After his arrest, Aaron said that he had been drugged, and he was aware of people watching online via cameras and he feared for his life.&lt;/p&gt;

  10590.  
  10591. &lt;p&gt;“He wanted to get out of there because he had an uneasy feeling. He grabbed the knife in self-defense and that’s when he fatally stabbed the guy he was in the house with.&lt;/p&gt;
  10592.  
  10593.  
  10594.  
  10595. &lt;p&gt;“It really is like something out of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt; show, but this is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/real-life/&quot;&gt;real life&lt;/a&gt; here.&lt;/p&gt;
  10596.  
  10597.  
  10598.  
  10599. &lt;p&gt;“Aaron said what made him think people were watching is that Oscar started making hand signals to the camera and he thought ‘s*** &amp;#8211; someone is watching, I need to get out of here sharpish’.&lt;/p&gt;
  10600.  
  10601.  
  10602.  
  10603. &lt;p&gt;“The guy made a dash for the door, my brother thought he was letting people into the house, so he grabbed a knife, the fight has started and he’s then fatally stabbed him but we say he was put into a position of fear, and the fight or flight response just kicked in.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10604.  
  10605.  
  10606.  
  10607. &lt;p&gt;Dan, from leafy Weybridge, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/surrey/&quot;&gt;Surrey&lt;/a&gt;, added: “The main focus is that they are not looking at some serious evidence and the standout is the router that was removed from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; scene the day after the incident by a friend of the deceased.&lt;/p&gt;

  10612.  
  10613.  
  10614.  
  10615. &lt;p&gt;“We believe people were connected to that router at the time, but it’s been professionally sabotaged, and the data cannot be extracted but the prosecution just don’t seem to be concerned.&lt;/p&gt;
  10616.  
  10617.  
  10618.  
  10619. &lt;p&gt;“We think that at least two other people were in close proximity to the house and connected to that router the night all this happened, and it’s critical to Aaron’s legitimate defence case.&lt;/p&gt;
  10620.  
  10621.  
  10622.  
  10623. &lt;p&gt;“We believe this was a secret sex studio and that Aaron was duped into going there, drugged, with the intention of whatever was going to happen being filmed and watched by people, with who knows what would happen at the end.&lt;/p&gt;
  10624.  
  10625.  
  10626.  
  10627. &lt;p&gt;“My brother thinks he was the victim of a live show and says he heard heavy breathing from somewhere in the room that night via a camera and he really feared for his life.&lt;/p&gt;
  10628.  
  10629.  
  10630.  
  10631. &lt;p&gt;“We just don’t trust the police because they say that nothing of relevance was found on the electronic devices, but we say they haven’t been properly examined, and my brother is facing a long time behind bars.&lt;/p&gt;
  10632.  
  10633.  
  10634.  
  10635. &lt;p&gt;“We have our own IT experts sending documents to court saying the router was damaged, but no one is listening to us which makes us think they are protecting someone.&lt;/p&gt;
  10636.  
  10637.  
  10638.  
  10639. &lt;p&gt;“We have reached the point of maximum frustration, and, quite frankly, it feels as if the justice system can do whatever it wants and that’s just not acceptable. We need to know why they are not actively going after this data.&lt;/p&gt;
  10640.  
  10641.  
  10642.  
  10643. &lt;p&gt;“Surely the destruction of that router speaks volumes, and the prosecution and police should be saying we need to fully investigate why this has happened, but they are not interested.&lt;/p&gt;
  10644.  
  10645.  
  10646.  
  10647. &lt;p&gt;“We say people were connected to that router, and it makes you wonder who it was. Are there police officers connected? People from the judiciary? It just doesn’t make sense why they are not interested.&lt;/p&gt;
  10648.  
  10649.  
  10650.  
  10651. &lt;p&gt;“What is worrying us is that the court may put someone away without having a full picture of the evidence. This is real life here.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10652.  
  10653.  
  10654.  
  10655. &lt;p&gt;Dan added: “I didn’t even know my brother was gay until all this happened. He’s in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prison/&quot;&gt;prison&lt;/a&gt; and his life has been taken away from him, he has a life to get back and career to get back to.&lt;/p&gt;
  10656.  
  10657.  
  10658.  
  10659. &lt;p&gt;“He and the family are just waiting for the justice system to deliver and we hoped they would, but it’s clear now they have no intention of doing that. It makes us think was something going on at a higher level?&lt;/p&gt;
  10660.  
  10661.  
  10662.  
  10663. &lt;p&gt;“If my brother didn’t do what he did how do we know he would have got out of there alive that night? There is more to this than meets the eye.&lt;/p&gt;
  10664.  
  10665.  
  10666.  
  10667. &lt;p&gt;“Aaron is a kind and gentle human being who is a highly respected professional and has no &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt; of any violent behaviour or criminal record.&lt;/p&gt;
  10668.  
  10669.  
  10670.  
  10671. &lt;p&gt;“His actions on the night were initiated through extreme fear and in our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/opinion/&quot;&gt;opinion&lt;/a&gt; self-defense; however, the legal system has chosen not to fully investigate the truth.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10672.  
  10673.  
  10674.  
  10675. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Victim &amp;#8216;worked as male escort&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  10676.  
  10677.  
  10678.  
  10679. &lt;p&gt;Rovira worked in a fashion store in Barcelona by day and as a male escort by night. He had known Rainbow for six years after meeting online.&lt;/p&gt;
  10680.  
  10681.  
  10682.  
  10683. &lt;p&gt;The indictment alleges Rainbow “hired the victim for a night of sex and drugs” after flying into Barcelona that evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  10684.  
  10685.  
  10686.  
  10687. &lt;p&gt;It says Rainbow launched an “unforeseen” attack while the victim was “in the tranquillity of his home and in the context of intimate relations that he was maintaining with the attacker”.&lt;/p&gt;
  10688.  
  10689.  
  10690.  
  10691. &lt;p&gt;Prosecutor Felix Martin is demanding a 20-year sentence. He claims a cocktail of GHB, cocaine, methamphetamine, amphetamine and MDMA was taken before the stabbing.&lt;/p&gt;
  10692.  
  10693.  
  10694.  
  10695. &lt;p&gt;According to the indictment: “During the meeting they installed a mattress in the living room of the house and arranged various sex toys, Viagra and narcotic substances.&lt;/p&gt;
  10696.  
  10697.  
  10698.  
  10699. &lt;p&gt;“The party began at 9.45pm. At around 2.45am, the defendant went to the kitchen and took a knife, with which he stabbed the victim several times.&lt;/p&gt;
  10700.  
  10701.  
  10702.  
  10703. &lt;p&gt;“Oscar tried to escape. He went to the door, went down the terrace stairs and tried to escape, but the outer door was locked, so the young man had to jump to the street from a height of three meters.&lt;/p&gt;
  10704.  
  10705.  
  10706.  
  10707. &lt;p&gt;“He managed to walk a few &lt;span id=&quot;d86037d0-ec47-4ff7-9f3c-37ea2c31a879&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;steps&lt;/span&gt; but collapsed seconds later due to the severity of his injuries.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10708.  
  10709.  
  10710.  
  10711. &lt;p&gt;Prosecutors say cameras in the house were switched off that night.&lt;/p&gt;
  10712.  
  10713.  
  10714.  
  10715. &lt;p&gt;Rainbow’s lawyer, Pedro Javier Gomez Martinez, said: “Whether we are dealing with a drug-induced delirium or a real situation is something that only the destroyed router can clarify.&lt;/p&gt;
  10716.  
  10717.  
  10718.  
  10719. &lt;p&gt;“But so far, nothing has been investigated despite multiple requests, and we suspect evidence has been destroyed and this evidence could prove his innocence in the case.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  10760. &lt;p&gt;SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY are closing in on being taken over by John Textor.&lt;/p&gt;
  10761.  
  10762.  
  10763.  
  10764. &lt;p&gt;The crisis &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/championship/&quot;&gt;Championship&lt;/a&gt; club has been suffering from financial difficulties under current owner, Dejphon Chansiri.&lt;/p&gt;

  10777.  
  10778.  
  10779.  
  10780. &lt;p&gt;This could lead to a points deduction from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/efl/&quot;&gt;EFL&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10781.  
  10782.  
  10783.  
  10784. &lt;p&gt;Textor, 60, has confirmed that talks have taken place which would see him purchase the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  10785.  
  10786.  
  10787.  
  10788. &lt;p&gt;The American businessman is no stranger to English &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; as he was a shareholder in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196666/crystal-palace/&quot;&gt;Crystal Palace&lt;/a&gt; until the summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  10789.  
  10790.  
  10791.  
  10792. &lt;p&gt;He has now revealed that he has held talks with Chansiri, who is said to be &amp;#8220;open to ideas&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10793.  
  10794.  
  10795.  
  10796. &lt;p&gt;He told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3049qhwTb4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Added Time Podcas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3049qhwTb4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;t (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;t&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;I hate to say anything controversial to the fans, but the owner, at least in my experience with him, has been very open to the ideas.&lt;/p&gt;
  10797.  
  10798.  
  10799.  
  10800. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve had a little bit of interaction, some direct.&lt;/p&gt;
  10801.  
  10802.  
  10803.  
  10804. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know he&amp;#8217;s very concerned about the club, I know it may not look like it.&lt;/p&gt;

  10811.  
  10812. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s just really complicated. Wednesday is one of the clubs that we&amp;#8217;re looking at.&lt;/p&gt;
  10813.  
  10814.  
  10815.  
  10816. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not that I wouldn&amp;#8217;t love to come in tomorrow, but they&amp;#8217;re in a very difficult situation.&lt;/p&gt;

  10842.  
  10843.  
  10844. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is a lot to figure out with the league itself and there&amp;#8217;s not a lot of time to figure it out.&lt;/p&gt;
  10845.  
  10846.  
  10847.  
  10848. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It seems like probably half to two-thirds of that squad is under the age of 21 and by the time we can even get in and address things.&lt;/p&gt;

  10850.

  10863.  
  10864. &lt;p&gt;Textor would be stepping into a tremulous position with fans staging regular &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36911538/sheffield-wednesday-coventry-stopped-fans-invade-pitch-chansiri/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;protests against the current ownership&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10865.  
  10866.  
  10867.  
  10868. &lt;p&gt;Problems off the pitch have started to have an effect on it, with the club struggling in the second tier.&lt;/p&gt;
  10869.  
  10870.  
  10871.  
  10872. &lt;p&gt;After nine games, the Owls are currently 23rd, only above cross-city rivals &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/3735972/sheffield-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sheffield United&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10873.  
  10874.  
  10875.  
  10876. &lt;p&gt;The club did achieve a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-cup/&quot;&gt;League Cup&lt;/a&gt; upset as they &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36450881/dominic-calvert-lewin-worst-debut-leeds-carabao-cup/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;dumped out Premier League side Leeds&lt;/a&gt; in the second round.&lt;/p&gt;
  10877.  
  10878.  
  10879.  
  10880. &lt;p&gt;However, they were then beaten 1-0 by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-two/&quot;&gt;League Two&lt;/a&gt; side &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/2061093/grimsby-town-fc/&quot;&gt;Grimsby Town&lt;/a&gt; in the following round.&lt;/p&gt;
  10881.  
  10882.  
  10883.  
  10884. &lt;p&gt;The club was also rocked by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36937965/sheffield-wednesday-coach-andy-parslow-resigns/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;shock resignation of first-team coach Andy Parslow&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10885.  
  10886.  
  10887.  
  10888. &lt;p&gt;The set-piece coach worked under former manager Danny Rohl but insisted he ripped up his contract to put his family first.&lt;a href=&quot;https://talksport.com/football/3352286/football-news-live-latest-updates-transfers-arsenal-chelsea-liverpool-man-united-city/page/1#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  10932. &lt;p&gt;MARRIED At First Sight groom Reiss has revealed the &amp;#8216;real reason&amp;#8217; for his split from Towie star Dani Imbert.&lt;/p&gt;

  10945.  
  10946.  
  10947.  
  10948. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on the show last night, Reiss gave an insight as to why his previous relationship ended.&lt;/p&gt;
  10949.  
  10950.  
  10951.  
  10952. &lt;p&gt;He said the relationship came to an end &amp;#8220;because the bickering became too much&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10953.  
  10954.  
  10955.  
  10956. &lt;p&gt;He also said: &amp;#8220;When a girl leaves you, you feel abandoned and lost.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10957.  
  10958.  
  10959.  
  10960. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36155450/love-island-ben-tommy-cheated-dani-imbert/&quot;&gt;Dani &lt;/a&gt;dated Reiss on and off since summer 2023 after a fling with her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-only-way-is-essex/&quot;&gt;Towie &lt;/a&gt;castmate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35339194/towie-matilda-roman-raunchy-sex-confession-late-filming/&quot;&gt;Roman Hackett&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10961.  
  10962.  
  10963.  
  10964. &lt;p&gt;Dani previously confessed that she and Reiss had known each other for a while and were an item before she started seeing Towie co-star Roman.&lt;/p&gt;
  10965.  
  10966.  
  10967.  
  10968. &lt;p&gt;She told The Sun: &amp;#8220;I am seeing someone else now to be completely honest.&lt;/p&gt;
  10969.  
  10970.  
  10971.  
  10972. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We knew each other before the whole me and Roman situation, we were kind of seeing each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  10973.  
  10974.  
  10975.  
  10976. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I called it off with him because I started seeing Roman &amp;#8211; then this whole stuff happened off camera since we’ve been filming that stopped me and Roman from speaking again and then I started seeing the boy that I started seeing before.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10977.  
  10978.  
  10979.  
  10980. &lt;p&gt;But she&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24957268/towie-shock-split-dani-imbert-brutal-swipe/&quot;&gt;called it off for good&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with Reiss in early 2024, and she’s been single ever since.&lt;/p&gt;
  10981.  
  10982.  
  10983.  
  10984. &lt;p&gt;Reiss has now married &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36933646/awkward-moment-mafs-uk-groom-gets-the-ick/&quot;&gt;31-year-old Leisha&lt;/a&gt; after the pair met at the altar before saying &amp;#8220;I do&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11005.  
  11006.  
  11007.  
  11008. &lt;p&gt;After the wedding, Leisha asked her new husband: &amp;#8220;Do you get a lot of attention?,&amp;#8221; to which he replied: &amp;#8220;No, not really.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11009.  
  11010.  
  11011.  
  11012. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to the camera away from her husband,&amp;nbsp;Leisha&amp;nbsp;said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m so happy with how things are going with me and Reiss.&lt;/p&gt;
  11013.  
  11014.  
  11015.  
  11016. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s in my nature to ask these questions, so I&amp;#8217;m just going to keep asking them and I truly want to get to know him to his core.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11017.  
  11018.  
  11019.  
  11020. &lt;p&gt;Looking uncomfortable, Reiss was then quizzed by the bridesmaid, who asked: &amp;#8220;So how many exes have you had?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11021.  
  11022.  
  11023.  
  11024. &lt;p&gt;Reiss said he&amp;#8217;s not one for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dating/&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/a&gt; apps and has been longing to be in a relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  11025.  
  11026.  
  11027.  
  11028. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;Four exes, luckily I&amp;#8217;ve never actually dated a psychos.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11029.  
  11030.  
  11031.  
  11032. &lt;p&gt;They then asked if jealousy on his behalf had caused the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/relationships/&quot;&gt;relationships&lt;/a&gt; to end, which he insisted was not the case.&lt;/p&gt;
  11033.  
  11034.  
  11035.  
  11036. &lt;p&gt;But the interrogation didn&amp;#8217;t stop there.&lt;/p&gt;
  11037.  
  11038.  
  11039.  
  11040. &lt;p&gt;The bridesmaid then asked if he would like kids and Reiss replied: &amp;#8220;100% yeah.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11041.  
  11042.  
  11043.  
  11044. &lt;p&gt;This prompted Leisha to then press him on what he would call his child.&lt;/p&gt;
  11045.  
  11046.  
  11047.  
  11048. &lt;p&gt;Reiss quickly replied: &amp;#8220;Frankie,&amp;#8221; which Leisha agreed was a good name.&lt;/p&gt;
  11049.  
  11050.  
  11051.  
  11052. &lt;p&gt;Speaking in her confessional, Leisha said: &amp;#8220;Him telling me he wants kids is a massive turn on for me, I&amp;#8217;m ovulating.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11053.  
  11054.  
  11055.  
  11056. &lt;p&gt;While Reiss felt very differently, saying the the camera: &amp;#8220;It started off as a grilling, there&amp;#8217;s a lot to take in.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11057.

  11101.  
  11102. &lt;p&gt;It is estimated that 21 million people in the UK still own a computer that operates on Windows 10, according to a poll from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/millions-of-pcs-at-risk-as-windows-10-updates-come-to-an-end-a037Y4r5vFea&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Which?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11103.  
  11104.  
  11105.  
  11106. &lt;p&gt;The survey revealed that a quarter of these users plan to continue using Windows 10 after next week&amp;#8217;s &lt;span id=&quot;6c7e9b80-8383-47af-92f2-4a4c9a8588b7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;deadline&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11107.  
  11108.  
  11109.  
  11110. &lt;p&gt;Without the latest security updates, the outdated systems will be left more vulnerable to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hacks/&quot;&gt;hacks&lt;/a&gt; and viruses.&lt;/p&gt;
  11111.  
  11112.  
  11113.  
  11114. &lt;p&gt;Computers on the older system won&amp;#8217;t receive software updates or technical support from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/end-of-support&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Microsoft&lt;/a&gt; either.&lt;/p&gt;
  11115.  
  11116.  
  11117.  
  11118. &lt;p&gt;Whilst computers will still function, users might experience a slower performance the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/news-tech/page/2/&quot;&gt;tech&lt;/a&gt; giants warned on their website.&lt;/p&gt;
  11119.  
  11120.  
  11121.  
  11122. &lt;p&gt;Microsoft offers a free upgrade to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/microsoft-windows/&quot;&gt;Windows 11&lt;/a&gt; if your PC is eligible. To check eligibility, go to settings on your device, then Privacy and Security, and click Windows Update.&lt;/p&gt;
  11123.  
  11124.  
  11125.  
  11126. &lt;p&gt;The computer company urges users to purchase a new PC if their old device cannot use the new Windows 11 system.&lt;/p&gt;
  11127.  
  11128.  
  11129.  
  11130. &lt;p&gt;Users can use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/b/microsoft-trade-in&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;trade-in programme&lt;/a&gt; to get cash-back if they buy a new device after handing in their old one.&lt;/p&gt;
  11131.  
  11132.  
  11133.  
  11134. &lt;p&gt;Curry&amp;#8217;s also offers a similar &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.currys.co.uk/services/ways-to-pay/trade-in.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;trade-in&lt;/a&gt; programme for shoppers who wish to buy a new computer through the electrical retailer.&lt;/p&gt;
  11135.  
  11136.  
  11137.  
  11138. &lt;p&gt;For those who can&amp;#8217;t quite afford a new device but still want to keep their data safe, Microsoft recommends signing up to the extended security updates (ESU) programme for one year.&lt;/p&gt;

  11162. &lt;p&gt;Windows 10 PCs on the programme can still receive critical security updates but they won&amp;#8217;t get technical support or the latest software.&lt;/p&gt;
  11163.  
  11164.  
  11165.  
  11166. &lt;p&gt;The company said on their website, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/17977726/kaspersky-delete-antivirus-russia-warning/&quot;&gt;antivirus apps&lt;/a&gt; can help but &amp;#8220;it&amp;#8217;s not enough on its own, Without regular security updates from Microsoft, the operating system remains exposed to new threats. &lt;/p&gt;
  11167.  
  11168.  
  11169.  
  11170. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Think of antivirus as a lock on the door, but without ongoing security updates, the doorframe itself might be weak.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11171.  
  11172.  
  11173.  
  11174. &lt;p&gt;For the millions of Brits who will continue to use Windows 10 they can still access Microsoft 365 apps such as Word and Excel, but users might notice a gradual drop in performance. &lt;/p&gt;
  11175.  
  11176.  
  11177.  
  11178. &lt;p&gt;The apps will only receive the latest security on Windows 10 for the next three years, ending October 2028.&lt;/p&gt;
  11179.  
  11180.  
  11181.  
  11182. &lt;p&gt;Microsoft promises that Windows 11 is its most secure update yet as it employs AI to detect which apps are safe to download and run on your PC.&lt;/p&gt;
  11183.  
  11184.  
  11185.  
  11186. &lt;p&gt;Another option is to make the move to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/google/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s operating system ChromeOS, as recommended by Which?&lt;/p&gt;
  11187.  
  11188.  
  11189.  
  11190. &lt;p&gt;The system is free to install and lighter than Windows making it more likely to work on older devices. &lt;/p&gt;
  11191.  
  11192.  
  11193.  
  11194. &lt;p&gt;If you already use Google&amp;#8217;s online apps such as docs and sheets this could be a viable option.&lt;/p&gt;

  11222. &lt;p&gt;A DAD who murdered his girlfriend as she asked &amp;#8220;am I gonna die?&amp;#8221; had sex with another woman just hours before the horror, a court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  11223.  
  11224.  
  11225.  
  11226. &lt;p&gt;Rebekah Campbell, 32, was allegedly stabbed 18 times by Michael Ormandy, 34, at her home in Huyton, Merseyside.&lt;/p&gt;
  11227.  
  11228.  
  11229.

  11235.  
  11236.  
  11237.  
  11238. &lt;p&gt;She ran out into the street screaming &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve been stabbed&amp;#8221; before she collapsed outside the block of flats, jurors heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  11239.  
  11240.  
  11241.  
  11242. &lt;p&gt;As emergency crews battled to save her life, Rebekah asked an officer: &amp;#8220;Am I gonna die?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11243.  
  11244.  
  11245.  
  11246. &lt;p&gt;The cop replied: &amp;#8220;You are hurt, but you are in the best place now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11247.  
  11248.  
  11249.  
  11250. &lt;p&gt;Rebekah tragically could not be saved and was declared dead the following day.&lt;/p&gt;
  11251.  
  11252.  
  11253.  
  11254. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;fb6aa1f2-2a31-4aec-a298-4fb1cdaa438d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/span&gt; Crown &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/courts&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; heard in the hours leading up to the alleged murder, Ormandy messaged a woman he previously met at the pub where she worked.&lt;/p&gt;
  11255.  
  11256.  
  11257.  
  11258. &lt;p&gt;The woman, who can&amp;#8217;t be named, went to his hotel room in the city and shared a vodka and orange.&lt;/p&gt;
  11259.  
  11260.  
  11261.  
  11262. &lt;p&gt;She told the court: &amp;#8220;We slept together and had intercourse. He said he was going to see his kids at his mum&amp;#8217;s. I left, went home then went to work.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11263.  
  11264.  
  11265.  
  11266. &lt;p&gt;The woman said Ormandy later came to her pub and asked if she was &amp;#8220;alright&amp;#8221; before leaving.&lt;/p&gt;
  11267.  
  11268.  
  11269.  
  11270. &lt;p&gt;He text her saying he was going to Liverpool to &amp;#8220;sort something out&amp;#8221; but did not reveal what it was, she continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  11271.  
  11272.  
  11273.  
  11274. &lt;p&gt;The woman said she later discovered a woman had been killed that was the same person in a photo Ormandy had shown her earlier in the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  11275.  
  11276.  
  11277.  
  11278. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;I felt sick and then learned that Michael had been charged with her murder.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11279.  
  11280.  
  11281.  
  11282. &lt;p&gt;CCTV footage played to the court showed Ormandy checking into the hotel at 1pm that day before the woman arrived at 3pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  11283.  
  11284.  
  11285.  
  11286. &lt;p&gt;The pair left together shortly after 4.30pm before sharing a kiss outside then going their separate ways.&lt;/p&gt;
  11287.  
  11288.  
  11289.  
  11290. &lt;p&gt;Ormandy then returned to the hotel in a taxi at 7pm, the footage showed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11291.  
  11292.  
  11293.  
  11294. &lt;p&gt;Jurors heard how Rebekah was on the phone with pal Faye Henderson when she began shouting &amp;#8220;go away, get out Mick&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11295.  
  11296.  
  11297.  
  11298. &lt;p&gt;Faye then heard a &amp;#8220;loud bang and puppies barking in the background&amp;#8221;, it was said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11299.  
  11300.  
  11301.  
  11302. &lt;p&gt;David McLachlan KC, prosecuting, said: &amp;#8220;Thereafter, Faye Henderson did not hear anything else. So concerned was Faye Henderson, that she rang 999.&lt;/p&gt;
  11303.  
  11304.  
  11305.  
  11306. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Faye Henderson was right to be concerned about her friend, because, inside that flat in Huyton, on the fifth floor, Michael Ormandy, the man in the dock, stabbed his partner Rebekah Campbell many, many times.&lt;/p&gt;
  11307.  
  11308.  
  11309.  
  11310. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In reality, he stabbed her to death.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11311.  
  11312.  
  11313.  
  11314. &lt;p&gt;Ormandy and Rebekah were said to have been together for around four months prior to her death but she had complained the relationship &amp;#8220;was not going well&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11315.  
  11316.  
  11317.  
  11318. &lt;p&gt;She also told a friend she was &amp;#8220;ready to end it&amp;#8221;, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  11319.  
  11320.  
  11321.  
  11322. &lt;p&gt;One pal claimed Ormandy would call Rebekah a &amp;#8220;s**g&amp;#8221; and would &amp;#8220;just stand at the bar and stare at her&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11323.  
  11324.  
  11325.  
  11326. &lt;p&gt;On April 12, Rebekah was said to have thrown a shoe at her boyfriend and slapped him while out drinking, jurors were told.&lt;/p&gt;
  11327.  
  11328.  
  11329.  
  11330. &lt;p&gt;Ormandy later struck her face after a second row erupted on the night out.&lt;/p&gt;
  11331.  
  11332.  
  11333.  
  11334. &lt;p&gt;Following his arrest on suspicion of murder, Ormandy told&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;she had screamed &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve got a knife&amp;#8221; when he had entered her home.&lt;/p&gt;
  11335.  
  11336.  
  11337.  
  11338. &lt;p&gt;He claimed he managed to disarm her but Rebekah remained on top of him and was &amp;#8220;attacking him&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11339.  
  11340.  
  11341.  
  11342. &lt;p&gt;Ormandy said he responded by punching her &amp;#8220;in self-defence&amp;#8221; before pushing her on the couch.&lt;/p&gt;
  11343.  
  11344.  
  11345.  
  11346. &lt;p&gt;Referring to the April 12 row, he suggested if the police had &amp;#8220;arrested Rebekah on this date, there would have been no further incident which led to him acting in self-defence.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11347.  
  11348.  
  11349.  
  11350. &lt;p&gt;Ormandy denies murder and the trial continues.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36930713/woman-stabbed-home-boyfriend-murder/#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  11408. &lt;p&gt;MORRISONS shoppers have been left furious after a popular offer was banned from supermarket cafes due to new obesity rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  11409.  
  11410.  
  11411.  
  11412. &lt;p&gt;The retailer has been forced to scrap its free refills for hot chocolate and mochas, as the treats are the latest to be hit by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36891169/new-supermarket-buy-one-get-one-free/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;new government laws&lt;/a&gt; aimed at tackling childhood obesity. &lt;/p&gt;

  11417.  
  11418.  
  11419.  
  11420. &lt;p&gt;The long awaited crackdown, which came into force on October 1, means &amp;#8220;buy one get one free&amp;#8221; offers on sugary foods in supermarkets and &amp;#8220;bottomless&amp;#8221; deals on some fizzy drinks have been banned.&lt;/p&gt;
  11421.  
  11422.  
  11423.  
  11424. &lt;p&gt;The Sun can now reveal that the ban extends to free refills of hot sugary drinks, including hot chocolate and sweetened coffees such as mochas, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/morrisons/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Morrisons&lt;/a&gt; the first retail giant to axe its deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  11425.  
  11426.  
  11427.  
  11428. &lt;p&gt;The supermarket, which previously offered customers free refills on all self-serve hot drinks in its cafes, has confirmed that the deal now excludes hot chocolate and mocha due to the legislation changes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11429.  
  11430.  
  11431.  
  11432. &lt;p&gt;Morrisons previously said it had brought in free refills on hot drinks to &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30980656/major-supermarket-unlimited-free-refills-hot-drinks-winter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;help customers stay warm&lt;/a&gt; throughout the colder months&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11435.  
  11436. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wetherspoon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wetherspoons&lt;/a&gt;, which offers free refills on coffee, tea and hot chocolate for £1.71 each, could also be forced to scrap hot chocolate from its deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  11437.  
  11438.  
  11439.  
  11440. &lt;p&gt;The chain has yet to confirm if it will be changing its rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  11441.  
  11442.  
  11443.  
  11444. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36916527/morrisons-big-change-stores-good-news-shoppers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Morrisons customers&lt;/a&gt; have been left furious over the change, with some taking to social media to share photos of new signs that have been placed next to the self-serve hot drinks machines in its cafes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11445.  
  11446.  
  11447.  
  11448. &lt;p&gt;The signs read: &amp;#8220;Due to a recent change in legislation, our Hot Chocolate and Mocha are now excluded from our Free Refills offer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11449.  
  11450.  
  11451.  
  11452. &lt;p&gt;Posting a picture of the sign on X, one shopper wrote: &amp;#8220;Can&amp;#8217;t have free refills for hot chocolate or mocha, but you can pay for your obesity.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11453.  
  11454.  
  11455.  
  11456. &lt;p&gt;Another angry user said: &amp;#8220;How can we find this tolerable? Why does anyone think this is OK?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11480. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have just been informed I can no longer have a free refill hot chocolate or mocha coffee,&amp;#8221; another posted.&lt;/p&gt;
  11481.  
  11482.  
  11483.  
  11484. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Because THE GOVERNMENT are losing out on the sugar tax on free drinks. Seemingly Morrisons face prosecution if they continue to give away free drinks with sugar in them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11485.  
  11486.  
  11487.  
  11488. &lt;p&gt;The ban on free refills only applies to drinks where sugar has been added before purchase, the Department for Health and Social Care confirmed &amp;#8211; so regular tea and coffee are not included.&lt;/p&gt;
  11489.  
  11490.  
  11491.  
  11492. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this week, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36924630/nandos-customers-devastated-limit-on-coca-cola-refills/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nando&amp;#8217;s fans were devastated&lt;/a&gt; after discovering they could no longer get free refills on classic Coca-Cola due to the new rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  11493.  
  11494.  
  11495.  
  11496. &lt;p&gt; &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nandos/&quot;&gt;Nando&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; banned refillable drinks? We are living in the end of times,&amp;#8221; one angry customer said in response to the ban.&lt;/p&gt;
  11497.  
  11498.  
  11499.  
  11500. &lt;p&gt;Diners at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nandos/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nando&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; can still enjoy unlimited glasses of diet and zero fizzy drinks, such as Fanta Zero, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite Zero and Dr Pepper Zero.&lt;/p&gt;
  11501.  
  11502.  
  11503.  
  11504. &lt;p&gt;Other chains offering free refills such as Five Guys, Toby Carvery, Pizza Hut will also be forced to put a halt to the promotion.&lt;/p&gt;
  11505.  
  11506.  
  11507.  
  11508. &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/department-of-health-and-social-care/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Department of Health and Social Care&lt;/a&gt; spokesperson said: &amp;#8220;Obesity robs children of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems and costs the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/page/15/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; billions.&lt;/p&gt;
  11509.  
  11510.  
  11511.  
  11512. &lt;p&gt;“The end of promotions such as buy one get one free on unhealthy foods was first proposed by the previous government in 2020 and come into force this week.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11560. &lt;p&gt;MANCHESTER UNITED have spent £50million on upgrading their training ground – but didn’t include a laundry facility.&lt;/p&gt;
  11561.  
  11562.  
  11563.  
  11564. &lt;p&gt;The new state-of-the-art building at Carrington opened in August and was designed to modernise the club’s training operations.&lt;/p&gt;
  11565.

  11573.  
  11574.  
  11575.  
  11576. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/36935363/man-utd-academy-stars-cabins-carrington/&quot;&gt;But despite the big investment&lt;/a&gt;, United are still outsourcing their laundry services.&lt;/p&gt;
  11577.  
  11578.  
  11579.  
  11580. &lt;p&gt;It means the club’s kits are being cleaned off-site rather than in-house, as has been the case in recent years.&lt;/p&gt;
  11581.  
  11582.  
  11583.  
  11584. &lt;p&gt;The decision has raised some eyebrows among fans, especially considering the scale of the upgrade.&lt;/p&gt;
  11585.  
  11586.  
  11587.  
  11588. &lt;p&gt;Laundry facilities have long been part of the club’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span id=&quot;532a30d5-e5de-4002-8b5d-40414743c953&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; back to more traditional times.&lt;/p&gt;
  11589.  
  11590.  
  11591.  
  11592. &lt;p&gt;In 1999, former kit man Albert Morgan recalled taking the Treble-winning trophies back to the laundry room at the old Cliff training ground after the parade.&lt;/p&gt;
  11593.  
  11594.  
  11595.  
  11596. &lt;p&gt;That old laundry room was once at the heart of daily life at the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  11597.  
  11598.  
  11599.  
  11600. &lt;p&gt;But as times changed, United began using external laundry services instead of doing it in-house.&lt;/p&gt;
  11601.  
  11602.  
  11603.  
  11604. &lt;p&gt;And even with the club’s new multi-million-pound facility, that arrangement remains in place.&lt;/p&gt;
  11605.  
  11606.  
  11607.  
  11608. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32855412/best-online-casinos-uk/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEST ONLINE CASINOS &amp;#8211; TOP SITES IN THE UK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11609.  
  11610.  
  11611.  
  11612. &lt;p&gt;Some staff were surprised the club didn’t bring laundry services back under one roof, especially with the space and budget available.&lt;/p&gt;
  11613.  
  11614.  
  11615.  
  11616. &lt;p&gt;There’s no suggestion that the current system is causing any major problems.&lt;/p&gt;
  11617.

  11649.  
  11650.  
  11651.  
  11652. &lt;p&gt;Back then, a club statement read: &amp;#8220;We are extremely particular about our kit. &lt;/p&gt;
  11653.  
  11654.  
  11655.  
  11656. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;How it&amp;#8217;s prepared is important to the players. It has to be soft, comfortable, scratch-free. &lt;/p&gt;
  11657.  
  11658.  
  11659.  
  11660. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That means we go the extra mile in making our laundry cleaning best in class.&lt;/p&gt;
  11661.  
  11662.  
  11663.  
  11664. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have put our hygiene partner Ecolab to the task. Now, our laundry room is set up with a digital system that monitors every wash cycle. &lt;/p&gt;
  11665.  
  11666.  
  11667.  
  11668. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We track the quality and quantity of water we use. We wash at a low temperature with Ecolab’s SoftGuard delicate solutions, to protect our colours and the environment.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11669.  
  11670.  
  11671.  
  11672. &lt;p&gt;The £50m refit at Carrington is not quite finished however.&lt;/p&gt;
  11673.  
  11674.  
  11675.  
  11676. &lt;p&gt;The club’s academy stars in the Under 21s and Under 18s are facing several more months of upheaval.&lt;/p&gt;
  11677.  
  11678.

  11700.  
  11701.  
  11702.  
  11703.  
  11704.  
  11705.  
  11706.  
  11707.  
  11708.  
  11709. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A third of the NFL regular season will have played out following the conclusion of this weekend’s games, and we’re beginning to get a clearer idea as to who the true playoff contenders are and which teams are the most exciting to watch.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11710.  
  11711.  
  11712.  
  11713. &lt;p&gt;Two of the three highest points over/under lines this week have been set for primetime games and BetMGM are offering newcomers multiple free bets ahead of another busy week of action.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11714.  
  11715.  
  11716.  
  11717. &lt;p&gt;Those setting up an account with them for the first time can &lt;a href=&quot;https://thesun.co.uk/goto/betmgm_casino_uk/sports&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;unlock £40 in free bets&lt;/a&gt; by depositing and wagering £10 on any sports market within seven days. Among the free betting tokens are two £10 bet builders, which can be used to combine multiple prop bets on any individual NFL game.&lt;/p&gt;
  11718.  
  11719.  
  11720.  
  11721. &lt;p&gt;Here are three hotly-anticipated games this Sunday to consider using those bet builders on.&lt;/p&gt;
  11722.  
  11723.  
  11724.  
  11725. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://bettingwidgets.thesun.co.uk/bonus?short_code=sunuk_betmgm_sports&amp;#038;widget=toplistwidget&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; mobile_height=&quot;420&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 290px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  11726.  
  11727.  
  11728.  
  11729. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Bryce Young seeks rare back-to-back wins&lt;/h2&gt;
  11730.  
  11731.  
  11732.  
  11733. &lt;p&gt;Bryce Young turned a corner after being benched in the early weeks of last season, but despite his play improving, and Carolina becoming more competitive towards the end of the campaign, not many wins followed. Young has only managed back-to-back victories once since turning pro, but the next couple of weekends represent a great chance to match that or go one better.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11734.  
  11735.  
  11736.  
  11737. &lt;p&gt;After leading a clutch game-winning drive, including a vital 4th &amp;amp; 5 completion, Young now goes up against a frail-looking Dallas Cowboys defence who’ve given up over 30 points on three separate occasions already this season. The Panthers, however, may lean more on the ground game after former Cowboy, Rico Dowdle, posted the most rushing yards by any player in a single game so far in 2025 &amp;#8211; he ran for 206 against Miami.&lt;/p&gt;
  11738.  
  11739.  
  11740.  
  11741. &lt;p&gt;The Cowboys find themselves at 2-2-1 after a thrilling 40-40 tie in the Micah Parsons “revenge game” in week 4 and a 37-22 rout of the New York Jets this past Sunday &amp;#8211; which was 30-3 in their favour before a late Jets rally. Few quarterbacks are playing as well as Dak Prescott right now, who threw seven touchdown passes in those two games.&lt;/p&gt;
  11742.  
  11743.  
  11744.  
  11745. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thesun.co.uk/goto/betmgm_casino_uk/sports&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BetMGM are backing the Cowboys to win&lt;/a&gt; in another high-scoring contest. They’re the 3.5-point favourites, with the points over/under line being set at 49.5.&lt;/p&gt;
  11746.  
  11747.  
  11748.  
  11749. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://bettingwidgets.thesun.co.uk/bonus?short_code=sunuk_betmgm_sports&amp;#038;widget=toplistwidget&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; mobile_height=&quot;420&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 290px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  11750.  
  11751.  
  11752.  
  11753. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;The Chiefs “aren’t in Kansas anymore” as they prepare to host the not-so cowardly Lions&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
  11754.  
  11755.  
  11756.  
  11757. &lt;p&gt;The Kansas City Chiefs would’ve felt that they were turning their season around after back-to-back wins brought them back to .500 after starting with two defeats. The Super Bowl hangover is proving difficult to shake off, however, as the Jacksonville Jaguars handed them their third loss &amp;#8211; which is already more than they suffered in the whole of the 2024 regular season.&lt;/p&gt;
  11758.  
  11759.  
  11760.  
  11761. &lt;p&gt;For one week, the Detroit Lions looked a shadow of last season’s free-scoring NFC North champions, who also claimed the top seed in the NFC with a record of 15-2. Since that opening day loss in Green Bay, however, they’ve won four in a row and have racked up more points than anyone else after five weeks &amp;#8211; picking up from where they left off last season as the NFL’s most potent offence.&lt;/p&gt;
  11762.  
  11763.  
  11764.  
  11765. &lt;p&gt;Dan Campbell’s team have built their identity on creating chaos, throwing caution to the wind and not fearing anyone. They won’t be afraid of going into Arrowhead either after winning on their last visit at the start of the 2023 season.&lt;/p&gt;
  11766.  
  11767.  
  11768.  
  11769. &lt;p&gt;If 0-2 was uncharted territory for the Chiefs, being 2-3 &amp;#8211; with the prospect of going 2-4 &amp;#8211; seems truly unthinkable during the Patrick Mahomes era. Bookies seem to agree, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://thesun.co.uk/goto/betmgm_casino_uk/sports&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BetMGM giving them a very slight 1-point edge to win&lt;/a&gt; at home during primetime, but most metrics would surely point to another successful away day for the Lions here.&lt;/p&gt;
  11770.  
  11771.  
  11772.  
  11773. &lt;p&gt;It’s also one of the highest points over/unders of the week &amp;#8211; Lions games are rarely dull and defensive. The line has been set at 51.5.&lt;/p&gt;
  11774.  
  11775.  
  11776.  
  11777. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://bettingwidgets.thesun.co.uk/bonus?short_code=sunuk_betmgm_sports&amp;#038;widget=toplistwidget&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; mobile_height=&quot;420&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 290px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  11778.  
  11779.  
  11780.  
  11781. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Top two picks in 2024 NFL Draft meet in Washington&lt;/h2&gt;
  11782.  
  11783.  
  11784.  
  11785. &lt;p&gt;Jayden Daniels returned after two weeks sidelined with a knee injury, helping the Washington Commanders secure their first away win since last season’s playoffs as they defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 27-10. The Chicago Bears were also winners last time out as they beat the Las Vegas Raiders, albeit that came two weeks ago before their early bye week.&lt;/p&gt;
  11786.  
  11787.  
  11788.  
  11789. &lt;p&gt;While Daniels was immediately able to transform Washington’s fortunes, Caleb Williams’ rookie year was solid if unspectacular. In year two, however, the gap between the top two picks of the 2024 draft seems to have closed, with Williams benefitting from the coaching of former Lions offensive mastermind Ben Johnson. He’s averaging two touchdown passes a game, and enjoyed a “career day” against the Dallas Cowboys in week 3. Daniels, meanwhile, has yet to truly get his sophomore season up and running due to the injury.&lt;/p&gt;
  11790.  
  11791.  
  11792.  
  11793. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thesun.co.uk/goto/betmgm_casino_uk/sports&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BetMGM are expecting fireworks&lt;/a&gt;, however, in a repeat of the game from last season which was decided by a Daniels hail mary. The points over/under line has been set at 50 this time around.&lt;/p&gt;
  11794.  
  11795.  
  11796.  
  11797. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://bettingwidgets.thesun.co.uk/bonus?short_code=sunuk_betmgm_sports&amp;#038;widget=toplistwidget&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; mobile_height=&quot;420&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 290px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

  11866. &lt;li&gt;Washington Commanders v Chicago Bears (Tues, 1:15am)&lt;/li&gt;
  11867. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11868.  
  11869.  
  11870.  
  11871. &lt;p&gt;The week begins with what has become a very one-sided NFC East rivalry on Thursday night as the Philadelphia Eagles aim for what would be an eighth win over the New York Giants in the last nine meetings. The intensity of these games was dialled up even further with Saquon Barkley having crossed the divide after the Giants failed to agree to a new contract with the star running back. Barkley made them pay last season, running for 176 yards and a touchdown on his return to MetLife Stadium, in what became a 2000+ yard season.&lt;/p&gt;
  11872.  
  11873.  
  11874.  
  11875. &lt;p&gt;The league’s last winless team &amp;#8211; the New York Jets &amp;#8211; travel to London for the second of three UK games this season. They’ll have to upset the Denver Broncos, fresh off of handing the Eagles their first defeat, if they are to avoid falling to 0-6.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11876.  
  11877.  
  11878.  
  11879. &lt;p&gt;Few would’ve regarded the AFC South to be one of the most competitive divisions heading into the season but both the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars sit at 4-1, with home games at 6pm on Sunday. &lt;/p&gt;
  11880.  
  11881.  
  11882.  
  11883. &lt;p&gt;Conversely, the usually explosive AFC North race has been anything but so far with both the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals reeling following injuries to several big-name players &amp;#8211; including their star quarterbacks. While Joe Burrow is definitely out for the season, Lamar Jackson could be back this weekend or next, but the Rams will be a tough opponent with or without him. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers could pull well clear of both with a win over the Cleveland Browns.&lt;/p&gt;

  12186. &lt;p&gt;A MAJOR supermarket has kicked off the Christmas price war already by promising it will be the cheapest for turkey and gammon. &lt;/p&gt;
  12187.  
  12188.  
  12189.  
  12190. &lt;p&gt;Supermarkets are hugely competitive on prices over the festive season as they try to win over customers for their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; food shops. &lt;/p&gt;

  12201.  
  12202. &lt;p&gt;This year Aldi has launched the price war early, saying it &amp;#8220;won&amp;#8217;t be beaten on price&amp;#8221; on a range of its Christmas dinner centrepieces.&lt;/p&gt;
  12203.  
  12204.  
  12205.  
  12206. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36930946/supermarket-cuts-prices-on-essentials/&quot;&gt;discount supermarket&lt;/a&gt; has guaranteed to match the lowest prices for equivalent products from its major rivals. &lt;/p&gt;
  12207.  
  12208.  
  12209.  
  12210. &lt;p&gt;The products included in the price match are its: &lt;/p&gt;
  12211.  
  12212.  
  12213.  
  12214. &lt;ul&gt;
  12215. &lt;li&gt;Fresh British Whole Turkey&lt;/li&gt;
  12216.  
  12217.  
  12218.  
  12219. &lt;li&gt;Fresh British Turkey Crown&lt;/li&gt;

  12228.  
  12229.  
  12230.  
  12231. &lt;li&gt;Perfect Christmas Whole Salmon&lt;/li&gt;
  12232.  
  12233.  
  12234.  
  12235. &lt;li&gt;Ashfields British Beef Roasting Joint&lt;/li&gt;
  12236.  
  12237.  
  12238.  
  12239. &lt;li&gt;British XL Pork Leg Joint&lt;/li&gt;
  12240.  
  12241.  
  12242.  
  12243. &lt;li&gt;Fresh Whole Leg of Lamb&lt;/li&gt;
  12244.  
  12245.  
  12246.  
  12247. &lt;li&gt;Fresh Gammon Joint&lt;/li&gt;
  12248. &lt;/ul&gt;
  12249.  
  12250.  
  12251.  
  12252. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt; hasn&amp;#8217;t yet given prices for any of these products, which are set to land in stores between now and December. &lt;/p&gt;
  12253.  
  12254.  
  12255.  
  12256. &lt;p&gt;It will price match to Asda, Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl, Co-op, Marks &amp;amp; Spencer, Waitrose, Ocado and Iceland.&lt;/p&gt;
  12257.  
  12258.  
  12259.  
  12260. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36936527/bargain-uk-supermarket-toy-sale-christmas/&quot;&gt;supermarket&lt;/a&gt; says it will be checking prices daily at its rivals but price changes may take a few days to come into effect. &lt;/p&gt;
  12261.  
  12262.  
  12263.  
  12264. &lt;p&gt;If you can provide proof of a lower price for an equivalent product at any of the other supermarkets on the date of your purchase, Aldi will match that price. &lt;/p&gt;
  12265.  
  12266.  
  12267.  
  12268. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33470822/sainsburys-tesco-money-saving-price-match-cost-products/&quot;&gt;price match&lt;/a&gt; will be in effect between December 19 and December 23. &lt;/p&gt;
  12269.  
  12270.  
  12271.  
  12272. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s worth noting that not all of Aldi&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36677652/fears-turkey-could-be-off-pub-menus-this-christmas/&quot;&gt;turkeys&lt;/a&gt; and centrepieces are under the price match guarantee. &lt;/p&gt;
  12273.  
  12274.

  12276. &lt;p&gt;Some of the products not under the price match include: &lt;/p&gt;
  12277.  
  12278.  
  12279.  
  12280. &lt;ul&gt;

  12282.

  12320.  
  12321.  
  12322. &lt;p&gt;Last year, Aldi&amp;#8217;s British Fresh Whole Turkey was selling for as little as £5.90 (£2.95 per kg). &lt;/p&gt;
  12323.  
  12324.  
  12325.  
  12326. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile its frozen turkeys cost as little as £2.50 per kg.&lt;/p&gt;
  12327.  
  12328.  
  12329.  
  12330. &lt;p&gt;Its Large British Turkey Crown was £17.79 while the Specially Selected Stuffed Turkey Crown was £24.99. &lt;/p&gt;
  12331.  
  12332.  
  12333.  
  12334. &lt;p&gt;Aldi has introduced over 150 new products in this year&amp;#8217;s Christmas range.&lt;/p&gt;
  12335.  
  12336.  
  12337.  
  12338. &lt;p&gt;Among the new additions are the Specially Selected Raspberry and Pistachio Yule Log, the Lobster Mac &amp;amp; Cheese and the Perfect Christmas Musical Biscuit Tin.&lt;/p&gt;
  12339.  
  12340.  
  12341.  
  12342. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re wanting to complete your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36917761/mum-shares-delicious-christmas-dinner-10-budget/&quot;&gt;Christmas roast&lt;/a&gt;, they also have Double-Wrapped Pigs in Blankets, Ashfields British Loaded Yorkshires and Ultimate Wagyu Fat Roast Potatoes. &lt;/p&gt;
  12343.  
  12344.  
  12345.  
  12346. &lt;p&gt;Last year, supermarkets were locked in a price war over Christmas vegetables. &lt;/p&gt;
  12347.  
  12348.  
  12349.  
  12350. &lt;p&gt;The grocers usually slash prices of veggies &amp;#8211; including carrots, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and potatoes &amp;#8211; to 15p a bag in the days before December 25.&lt;/p&gt;
  12351.  
  12352.  
  12353.  
  12354. &lt;p&gt;But in 2024 they slashed prices even further, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32374259/supermarket-price-war-lidle-vegetables-christmas-dinner/&quot;&gt;Asda and Aldi lowering their prices to just 8p&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  12355.  
  12356.  
  12357.  
  12358. &lt;p&gt;Aldi was recently &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36896040/cheapest-supermarket-71-items-revealed/&quot;&gt;crowned the cheapest supermarket&lt;/a&gt; by consumer site Which?.&lt;/p&gt;
  12359.  
  12360.  
  12361.  
  12362. &lt;p&gt;This was based on a basket of common 71 items.&lt;/p&gt;
  12363.  
  12364.  
  12365.  
  12366. &lt;p&gt;While supermarkets are likely to be fiercely competitive again this Christmas, it comes as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;food and drink&lt;/a&gt; prices look set to soar over the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/winter/&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12367.  
  12368.  
  12369.  
  12370. &lt;p&gt;The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) said recently that current prices were &amp;#8220;steeper than anything in recent decades&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12371.  
  12372.  
  12373.  
  12374. &lt;p&gt;And it warned food and drink prices would rise by a huge 5.7% by the end of the year, hitting Christmas budgets for many shoppers.&lt;/p&gt;
  12375.

  12386. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consumer reporter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/samuel-walker/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sam Walker&lt;/a&gt; reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12387. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Limit the amount of presents&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.&lt;/p&gt;
  12388. &lt;p&gt;Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you&amp;#8217;re not having to buy multiple presents.&lt;/p&gt;
  12389. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Plan ahead&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; if you&amp;#8217;ve got the stamina and budget, it&amp;#8217;s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.&lt;/p&gt;
  12390. &lt;p&gt;Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you&amp;#8217;re not forking out more than you should though.&lt;/p&gt;
  12391. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy in Boxing Day sales&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.&lt;/p&gt;
  12392. &lt;p&gt;Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.&lt;/p&gt;
  12393. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shop via outlet stores &amp;#8211; &lt;/strong&gt;you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.&lt;/p&gt;
  12394. &lt;p&gt;They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.&lt;/p&gt;
  12395. &lt;/div&gt;
  12396. &lt;/div&gt;

  12461.  
  12462.  
  12463.  
  12464. &lt;p&gt;Yet as well as sweet moments with her two-year-old daughter Bambi, who she shares with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tommy-fury/&quot;&gt;Tommy Fury&lt;/a&gt;, career firsts with Maebe and travel overseas, it also captures the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; alum&amp;#8217;s low points as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  12465.  
  12466.  
  12467.  
  12468. &lt;p&gt;The trailer shows her sister Zoe Rae and her mum Debbie Gordon looking emotional before&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/molly-mae-hague/&quot;&gt; Molly-Mae&lt;/a&gt;, adorned with a head-full of rollers and donning a silk robe, opens up.&lt;/p&gt;
  12469.  
  12470.  
  12471.  
  12472. &lt;p&gt;She is seen in her dressing room as she announces over the scenes: &amp;#8220;I agreed to do the L&amp;#8217;Oreal catwalk,&amp;#8221; before images cut to her sobbing while getting ready.&lt;/p&gt;
  12473.  
  12474.  
  12475.  
  12476. &lt;p&gt;Molly-Mae &amp;#8211; who has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22175492/molly-mae-hague-reveals-meltdown-photoshoot-praised-body/&quot;&gt;spoken openly about her body confidence&lt;/a&gt; issues in the past &amp;#8211; is heard saying: &amp;#8220;I can&amp;#8217;t go out like that, I don&amp;#8217;t feel comfortable,&amp;#8221; as she poses in her silk dress.&lt;/p&gt;
  12477.  
  12478.  
  12479.  
  12480. &lt;p&gt;Her longstanding manager Fran Britton then gives her some staright-talking and said: &amp;#8220;I need you to decide.&lt;/p&gt;
  12481.  
  12482.  
  12483.  
  12484. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Are you doing it or not?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12485.  
  12486.  
  12487.  
  12488. &lt;p&gt;The trailer then flicks on to another scene, leaving viewers needing to tune in to discover how the sequence of events plays out.&lt;/p&gt;
  12489.  
  12490.  
  12491.  
  12492. &lt;p&gt;Her big sister Zoe was quick to comment underneath: &amp;#8220;AHHH S**T HERE WE GO AGAIN.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12493.  
  12494.  
  12495.  
  12496. &lt;p&gt;Her manager Fran then added: &amp;#8220;Here we go.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12540. &lt;p&gt;Yet hinting at the behind the scenes tension in the French capital, The Sun was first to report how her &amp;#8220;excessive&amp;#8221; team had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/36856815/molly-mae-hague-tommy-fury-mention-ban-events/&quot;&gt;banned any mention of her boxer partner Tommy&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; with whom she has reunited &amp;#8211; at the event.&lt;/p&gt;

  12553. MOLLY-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury are on holiday in Dubai after splitting in August. Yet have they dropped clues about their reunion before? &lt;/p&gt;
  12555. &lt;div&gt;
  12556. &lt;p&gt;Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury appear to have confirmed their romance is back on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33876712/molly-mae-happy-dubai-holiday-with-tommy-fury-reunion/&quot;&gt;with a joint holiday to Dubai.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12557. &lt;p&gt;Yet in January, &lt;span&gt;the rumour mill had already started turning on their reunion after pics of&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32600982/molly-mae-hague-tommy-fury-kiss-new-years/&quot;&gt;Molly-Mae&amp;#8217;s NYE snog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;with&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;the boxer&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;resurfaced&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12558. &lt;p&gt;In February, Tommy, 25, then &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33647247/tommy-fury-say-life-looking-up-molly-mae/&quot;&gt;gushed how &amp;#8220;life has been looking up&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;after the pair&amp;#8217;s romantic getaway&lt;/span&gt; for Valentine&amp;#8217;s Day.&lt;/p&gt;
  12559. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Sun exclusively revealed how the pair &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33632861/molly-mae-tommy-furys-reunion/&quot;&gt;were spotted &amp;#8220;canoodling&amp;#8221; on their cute getaway&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12560. &lt;p&gt;During the same month, Tommy was also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33265650/tommy-fury-leaving-molly-mae-house-back-together-reunion/&quot;&gt;spotted leaving Molly-Mae&amp;#8217;s Molly Maison home&lt;/a&gt; in his G Wagon in the early hours.&lt;/p&gt;
  12561. &lt;p&gt;Fans then spotted clues the pair had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33688416/molly-mae-clues-weekend-ex-fiance-tommy-fury-reunion/&quot;&gt;spent another romantic weekend together&lt;/a&gt; earlier this spring.&lt;/p&gt;
  12562. &lt;p&gt;Molly-Mae was also heard &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33668627/molly-mae-hague-hint-back-together-tommy-fury-baby/&quot;&gt;discussing having a second baby&lt;/a&gt; on her vlog, in yet another potential sign they are giving their romance another go.&lt;/p&gt;
  12563. &lt;/div&gt;
  12564. &lt;/div&gt;
  12565. &lt;/div&gt;
  12567.  
  12568.  
  12569.  
  12570. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Staff working at her L&amp;#8217;Oreal pop-up in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8216;s Covent Garden &amp;#8211; which came ahead of her Paris trip &amp;#8211; were repeatedly warned not to mention her on/off partner if they crossed paths with her during the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12571.  
  12572.  
  12573.  
  12574. &lt;p&gt;During the event the influencer, who found fame after meeting boxer Tommy on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt;, appeared on stage to talk everything beauty, with event organisers initially planning a &amp;nbsp;short Q&amp;amp;A with members of the public.&lt;/p&gt;
  12575.  
  12576.  
  12577.  
  12578. &lt;p&gt;However, sources tell The Sun these were axed at the 11th hour amid fears she’d be questioned on her fiance after they’ve been plagued by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/29887889/tommy-fury-cheated-molly-mae-split-women/&quot;&gt;cheat rumours&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;amid his&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32820529/tommy-fury-end-up-in-ditch-alcohol-addiction/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;alcohol abuse.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12579.  
  12580.  
  12581.  
  12582. &lt;p&gt;Despite other&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity/&quot;&gt;celebrity&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;speakers including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/this-morning/&quot;&gt;This Morning&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;presenter&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rochelle-humes/&quot;&gt;Rochelle Humes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;keeping their guests to one or two people, Molly was flanked by a team of around 10 staff.&lt;/p&gt;
  12583.  
  12584.  
  12585.  
  12586. &lt;p&gt;Her entourage &amp;nbsp;included a 4 strong camera crew for the second series of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32855633/where-to-watch-molly-mae-behind-it-all-documentary/&quot;&gt;Behind It All on Prime&lt;/a&gt;, a driver,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hair/&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;stylist, 3 floating low key security guards,&amp;nbsp;a glam squad and managers/ her PA.&lt;/p&gt;
  12587.  
  12588.  
  12589.  
  12590. &lt;p&gt;Before Molly arrived, her team also insisted on doing a run through of how to get the few hundred meters from her car to her make-shift green room in swanky restaurant Sushi Samba in Covent Garden square.&lt;/p&gt;
  12591.  
  12592.  
  12593.  
  12594. &lt;p&gt;A source said: “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/molly-mae-hague/&quot;&gt;Molly&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;herself was lovely but her team was laughable.&lt;/p&gt;
  12595.  
  12596.  
  12597.  
  12598. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was so excessive, they were issuing orders left right and centre and appeared to be desperate to make it like she was swamped by the public but in reality the public were largely nonplussed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12599.  
  12600.  
  12601.  
  12602. &lt;p&gt;Following the event, she was whisked off to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/paris/&quot;&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;via a private jet.&lt;/p&gt;
  12603.  
  12604.  
  12605.  
  12606. &lt;p&gt;The trip came with the hope of Molly eventually getting the cover of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/vogue/&quot;&gt;Vogue&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12607.  
  12608.  
  12609.  
  12610. &lt;p&gt;A source told The Sun: “Molly has turned down catwalk opportunities before as she didn’t think she was good enough so while she is excited, she’s terrified at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
  12611.  
  12612.  
  12613.  
  12614. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A lot of the way she is modelling her career is from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/victoria-beckham/&quot;&gt;Victoria Beckham&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;handbook.&lt;/p&gt;
  12615.  
  12616.  
  12617.  
  12618. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Molly knows shaking off the reality TV star tag who went on Love Island has left a stigma and judgement but she&amp;#8217;s determined to be taken seriously in the world of fashion.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12619.

  12625.  
  12626. &lt;p&gt;Just ast month, Molly-Mae told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36715382/molly-mae-hague-admits-feeling-low-confidence-ntas-backlash/&quot;&gt;how she was &amp;#8220;lacking in confidence&amp;#8221; &lt;/a&gt;and &amp;#8220;can&amp;#8217;t look in the mirror.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12627.  
  12628.  
  12629.  
  12630. &lt;p&gt;She previously told how &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22664674/molly-mae-hague-body-confidence-bikini-bambi/&quot;&gt;she &amp;#8220;doesn&amp;#8217;t feel confident&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; to wear a bikini after having her little girl &amp;#8211; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/23507696/molly-mae-hague-youtube-troll-post-baby-body/&quot;&gt;lashed out at trolls who made her feel &amp;#8220;a bit rubbish.&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12631.  
  12632.  
  12633.  
  12634. &lt;p&gt;Molly-Mae &lt;span&gt;told how the words of one&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;keyboard bully had been &amp;#8220;humbling&amp;#8221; after she was sent a direct messag&lt;/span&gt;e amid her&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/22688745/molly-mae-hague-cant-accept-post-baby-body-bambi/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;struggles to &amp;#8220;accept&amp;#8221; her post-baby body.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12635.  
  12636.  
  12637.  
  12638. &lt;p&gt;Previously&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot;&gt;Molly&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; who welcomed her first child Bambi in January 2023 with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tommy-fury/&quot;&gt;Tommy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; said she is learning to &amp;#8220;love&amp;#8221; her new figure.&lt;/p&gt;
  12639.  
  12640.  
  12641.  
  12642. &lt;p&gt;In a previous video the Filter tan brand founder told fans of the message from a troll who said she looked &amp;#8220;bloated&amp;#8221; and suggested she had &amp;#8220;water retention.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12643.  
  12644.  
  12645.  
  12646. &lt;p&gt;The proud mum admitted: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s actually made me feel a little bit crap, I&amp;#8217;ve been trying to make some effort recently.&lt;/p&gt;
  12647.  
  12648.  
  12649.  
  12650. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve had a few humbling experiences this week and it&amp;#8217;s a bit rubbish when you&amp;#8217;re actually trying to make some effort.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12674. <content:encoded>&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-tnl-wp-lead-asset-lead-asset&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  12675.  
  12676.  
  12677.  
  12678.  
  12679.  
  12680.  
  12681.  
  12682.  
  12683.  
  12684. &lt;p&gt;SIR Lenny Henry has claimed every black Brit should be paid reparations for slavery.&lt;/p&gt;
  12685.  
  12686.  
  12687.  
  12688. &lt;p&gt;The 67-year-old co-wrote a book titled The Big Payback, which supports the argument that £18trillion should be handed over in compensation.&lt;/p&gt;
  12689.  
  12690.  
  12691.  
  12692. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36940966&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/crop-36940945.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Sir Lenny Henry at the press night after party for &amp;quot;Skeleton Crew&amp;quot; at the Donmar Warehouse.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36940966&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;639&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Lenny Henry has claimed every black Brit should be paid reparations for slavery&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  12693.  
  12694.  
  12695.  
  12696. &lt;p&gt;He argued vast amounts should be paid to Caribbean nations &amp;#8211; and also given to black British citizens individually&lt;/p&gt;
  12697.  
  12698.  
  12699.  
  12700. &lt;p&gt;In the book Sir Lenny wrote &amp;#8220;all black British people&amp;#8230; need reparations for slavery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12701.  
  12702.  
  12703.  
  12704. &lt;p&gt;Adding: &amp;#8220;We personally deserve &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; for the effects of slavery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12705.  
  12706.  
  12707.  
  12708. &lt;p&gt;The authors argue slavery led directly to racism and say all black people suffer the effects of racism, so should all be given compensation.&lt;/p&gt;
  12709.  
  12710.  
  12711.  
  12712. &lt;p&gt;They add: “The reason we have racism today and also … why black British people are grossly over-represented in the prison population [&amp;#8230;] are all because of the transatlantic slave trade.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12713.  
  12714.  
  12715.  
  12716. &lt;p&gt;Jamaica, Antigua, Nevis, Barbados and St Kitts, all Caribbean nations that were under British control, connected Britain to Western &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/africa/&quot;&gt;Africa&lt;/a&gt; and the Americas.&lt;/p&gt;
  12717.  
  12718.  
  12719.  
  12720. &lt;p&gt;The countries formed a key part of the triangular slave trade routes between Western Africa, America and Britain.&lt;/p&gt;
  12721.  
  12722.  
  12723.  
  12724. &lt;p&gt;Britain outlawed the slave trade in its empire in 1807 but it did not formally abolish the practice of slavery until later in 1834.&lt;/p&gt;
  12725.  
  12726.  
  12727.  
  12728. &lt;p&gt;Most of Britain’s 2.4 million black population is of direct African descent, meaning they&amp;#8217;re not descendants of Caribbean slaves.&lt;/p&gt;
  12729.  
  12730.  
  12731.  
  12732. &lt;p&gt;So what do you think &amp;#8211; should compensation be handed over? Have your say in our exclusive poll.&lt;/p&gt;

  12758. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE countdown is on until the end of the Amazon Prime Day sale, but there&amp;#8217;s still time to stock up on cut-price essentials, including bulk-buying chocolates.&lt;/p&gt;
  12759.  
  12760.  
  12761.  
  12762. &lt;p&gt;With &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; less than 80 days away, I have spotted a great deal on a mega box of Quality Street chocolates, which is slashed to £23.&lt;/p&gt;
  12763.  
  12764.  
  12765.  
  12766. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_20071906&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 887px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screenshot-2022-10-11-at-13.01.55.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=877&quot; alt=&quot;Quality Street chocolates in a 2kg &amp;quot;Bulk Box&amp;quot; with a &amp;quot;NEW&amp;quot; label.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-20071906&quot; width=&quot;877&quot; height=&quot;526&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Amazon&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Grab the Quality Street Bulk Box while it&amp;#8217;s on sale[/caption]
  12767.  
  12768.  
  12769.  
  12770. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2kg Quality Street chocolates bulk box, £23.15 (Was £27.29)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12771.  
  12772.  
  12773.  
  12774. &lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-29 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex&quot;&gt;

  12776. &lt;/div&gt;
  12777.  
  12778.  
  12779.  
  12780. &lt;p&gt;The huge bulk box of &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3eo7SvA&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Quality Street&lt;/a&gt; contains a 2kg assortment of popular chocolates, including favourites like the hazelnut chocolate triangle, caramel-filled purple one and classic toffee penny.&lt;/p&gt;
  12781.  
  12782.  
  12783.  
  12784. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s a failsafe essential worth stocking up on ahead of the festive season (just don&amp;#8217;t eat them all before 25 December).&lt;/p&gt;
  12785.  
  12786.  
  12787.  
  12788. &lt;p&gt;The Prime exclusive price sees the jumbo box slashed from £27.29 to £23, which is a 15% discount.&lt;/p&gt;
  12789.  
  12790.  
  12791.  
  12792. &lt;p&gt;To access the deal, which ends tonight at midnight, shoppers need to have an active Prime membership, which you can sign up for using the &lt;a aria-label=&quot;30-day free trial (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.uk/primebigdealdays?ref_=nav_cs_td_pbdd_dt_cr&amp;amp;tag=quality-street-prime-day-bau-20071788-21&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;30-day free trial&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12793.  
  12794.  
  12795.  
  12796. &lt;p&gt;Of course, while this is a great deal, it&amp;#8217;s worth shopping around and comparing prices.&lt;/p&gt;
  12797.  
  12798.  
  12799.  
  12800. &lt;p&gt;We have already spotted a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/36932967/2kg-cadbury-heroes-share-box-amazon-prime-day-deal/&quot;&gt;similar deal on a 2kg Cadbury Heroes box, now £20 in the sale&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12801.  
  12802.  
  12803.  
  12804. &lt;p&gt;In previous years, &lt;a aria-label=&quot;a deal like this Quality Street box (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3eo7SvA&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;a deal like this Quality Street box&lt;/a&gt; one will sell out quickly, so don&amp;#8217;t hang about if you want to stock up, as the offers will come to a halt tonight.&lt;/p&gt;
  12805.  
  12806.  
  12807.  
  12808. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36869274&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2ah8h9c-childs-hand-picking-favourite-1024671648_ced07e.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Child's hand picking a Quality Street chocolate from a purple tub.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36869274&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Which one is your favourite?[/caption]

  12819.  
  12820.  
  12821.  
  12822. &lt;p&gt;Over the past few months, several major supermarkets have also been slashing the price of Christmas chocolate tubs.&lt;/p&gt;
  12823.  
  12824.  
  12825.  
  12826. &lt;p&gt;Shoppers dashed to budget chain Aldi, which &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36902172/supermarket-slashes-heroes-quality-street-chocolate-tubs-price/&quot;&gt;slashed the price of popular branded tubs to under £5&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12827.

  12913.  
  12914. &lt;p&gt;A MARINE park is threatening to kill 30 beluga whales unless the Canadian government sends them emergency cash.&lt;/p&gt;
  12915.  
  12916.  
  12917.  
  12918. &lt;p&gt;Marineland, in Niagara Falls, issued a stark ultimatum saying it will forced to euthanize all of their whales if they aren&amp;#8217;t given help to rehome them.&lt;/p&gt;
  12919.  
  12920.

  12923.

  12927.  
  12928.  
  12929.  
  12930. &lt;p&gt;The owners reportedly warned it can no longer afford to pay for their feeding or care.&lt;/p&gt;
  12931.  
  12932.  
  12933.  
  12934. &lt;p&gt;In a last-minute plea they also tried to send the belugas to China where they could be looked after.&lt;/p&gt;
  12935.  
  12936.  
  12937.  
  12938. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;span id=&quot;4fb8fe3f-697f-4d1b-883b-c9a473d88e2b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Canada&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8216;s country&amp;#8217;s fisheries minister, Joanne Thompson, denied the  request for a permit to export the belugas.&lt;/p&gt;
  12939.  
  12940.  
  12941.  
  12942. &lt;p&gt;She said it would only cause &amp;#8220;further exploitation&amp;#8221; of the animals as they would likely be made to live in &amp;#8220;tanks for entertainment&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12943.  
  12944.  
  12945.  
  12946. &lt;p&gt;This prompted the park to impose a &lt;span id=&quot;a5abbe22-90a5-429a-a9ea-23294595e79c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;deadline&lt;/span&gt; on the government to either grant the permit or send them money to support the whales.&lt;/p&gt;
  12947.  
  12948.  
  12949.  
  12950. &lt;p&gt;A letter sent on Friday saw Marineland say it is in &amp;#8220;a critical financial state&amp;#8221; and can no longer properly care for the whales, according to &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/marineland-beluga-whales-euthanize-1.7651009&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CBC&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  12951.  
  12952.  
  12953.  
  12954. &lt;p&gt;If they hadn&amp;#8217;t heard back then all 30 of the belugas would be euthanized, the letter warned.&lt;/p&gt;
  12955.  
  12956.  
  12957.  
  12958. &lt;p&gt;The park said the animals’ demise would be &amp;#8220;a direct consequence of the minister’s decision&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12959.  
  12960.  
  12961.  
  12962. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;e86f6719-f036-4de0-ab32-b1d94a4db097&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;deadline&lt;/span&gt; to help out the cash-strapped sea life park ended Tuesday evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  12963.  
  12964.  
  12965.  
  12966. &lt;p&gt;A line in the letter read: &amp;#8220;If we do not receive a response by that date, we will have no choice to presume that the answers to our inquiries are negative.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12989.  
  12990. &lt;p&gt;There has been no comment on if the government reached out to Marineland.&lt;/p&gt;
  12991.  
  12992.  
  12993.  
  12994. &lt;p&gt;Doug &lt;span id=&quot;4053f176-4eff-4ec4-b6b6-08518e60f0e4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Ford&lt;/span&gt;, the premier of Ontario province, says he is disappointed with the government&amp;#8217;s decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  12995.  
  12996.  
  12997.  
  12998. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;We need a proper home for them, simple as that.&lt;/p&gt;
  12999.  
  13000.  
  13001.  
  13002. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We gotta [sic] save the whales.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13003.  
  13004.  
  13005.  
  13006. &lt;p&gt;The park wants all of the 30 belugas to go to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, in &lt;span id=&quot;d2368061-a15f-4fc0-a052-4fba286fd93d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;China&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8216;s Guangdong province.&lt;/p&gt;
  13007.  
  13008.  
  13009.  
  13010. &lt;p&gt;They believe it is now the &amp;#8220;only viable option&amp;#8221; after closing down last &lt;span id=&quot;f73ef1a5-483c-4707-917b-691eab1af27c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13011.  
  13012.  
  13013.  
  13014. &lt;p&gt;Marineland put itself up for sale in 2023 before officially locking its gates a year later when no buyer came forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  13015.  
  13016.  
  13017.  
  13018. &lt;p&gt;The park has been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34955491/abandoned-theme-park-stranded-whales-dolphins/&quot;&gt;criticised in the past&lt;/a&gt; over how it &lt;span id=&quot;9ed009a3-9767-46e9-b81d-14fdcbd957e7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/span&gt; the aquatic &lt;span id=&quot;bac787c2-e76b-456f-ac5b-a741fe458647&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;animals&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  13019.  
  13020.  
  13021.  
  13022. &lt;p&gt;One orca whale and 19 beluga whales have died at Marineland since 2019, according to The Canadian Press &lt;span id=&quot;fc0d2105-cc6c-4cfd-9c47-b0087a1b673d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; agency.&lt;/p&gt;
  13023.  
  13024.  
  13025.  
  13026. &lt;p&gt;The park also had to close due to a falling attendance as many boycotted sea life parks.&lt;/p&gt;
  13027.  
  13028.  
  13029.  
  13030. &lt;p&gt;It also struggled to survive due to a new &lt;span id=&quot;adfb2791-7f3c-41d5-b327-f839d329a991&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;law&lt;/span&gt; imposed in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  13031.  
  13032.  
  13033.  
  13034. &lt;p&gt;Known as the “Free Willy” bill, it banned breeding whales and dolphins, keeping them in captivity, or using them for entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;
  13035.  
  13036.  
  13037.  
  13038. &lt;p&gt;The park was later fined in August 2024 for keeping three black bears in cramped cages for months on end without adequate water, according to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/world/canada/marineland-canada-beluga-whales.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;99d33fd1-dd4a-4e8c-8851-7658e114076f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/span&gt; Times&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13039.  
  13040.  
  13041.  
  13042. &lt;p&gt;Melissa Matlow, a Toronto-based animal welfare activist, told the Times that the government&amp;#8217;s decision was correct.&lt;/p&gt;
  13043.  
  13044.  
  13045.  
  13046. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;Threatening to kill all their animals if they don’t get emergency funding is just repugnant.&lt;/p&gt;
  13047.  
  13048.  
  13049.  
  13050. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We need to take comfort that this is the last generation of whales and dolphins that will ever have to suffer again in &lt;span id=&quot;27e75741-7a41-41ad-8c24-a43a95412aa7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Canada&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13103. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8216;VERY sad&amp;#8217; trainer Kim Bailey has announced the retirement of a Cheltenham Festival hero &amp;#8211; just as &amp;#8216;everything looked to be going right&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13104.  
  13105.  
  13106.  
  13107. &lt;p&gt;Chianti Classico &amp;#8211; who was also a leading contender for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/grand-national/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Grand National&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; was a hugely popular winner of the Ultima Handicap Chase in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

  13117.  
  13118.  
  13119. &lt;p&gt;He followed that up with a brave fourth behind &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33859719/gold-cup-shock-inothewayurthinkin-galopin-des-champs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;future Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin&lt;/a&gt; at Aintree.&lt;/p&gt;
  13120.  
  13121.  
  13122.  
  13123. &lt;p&gt;Before signing off with what would turn out to be his last ever win in the Grade 3 Sodexo Gold Cup at Ascot last November.&lt;/p&gt;
  13124.  
  13125.  
  13126.  
  13127. &lt;p&gt;Chianti Classico suffered what has turned out to be a career-ending tendon injury when coming fourth at Cheltenham last December &amp;#8211; his final time on the racecourse.&lt;/p&gt;
  13128.  
  13129.  
  13130.  
  13131. &lt;p&gt;He had been sent to top Irish handler Enda Bolger in the hope of getting him ready to run again.&lt;/p&gt;
  13132.  
  13133.  
  13134.  
  13135. &lt;p&gt;But Bailey and connections have been forced to admit defeat in that fight &amp;#8211; doing what&amp;#8217;s best for the horse and retiring him.&lt;/p&gt;
  13136.  
  13137.  
  13138.  
  13139. &lt;p&gt;In a lengthy and heartfelt blog post, former Gold Cup-winning trainer Bailey wrote of his eight-year-old: &amp;#8220;Sadly, I have to announce that we&amp;#8217;ve decided to retire Chianti Classico.&lt;/p&gt;
  13140.  
  13141.  
  13142.  
  13143. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We all had a great visit to Enda Bolger&amp;#8217;s stables last week to see him cantering and although everything looked to be going in the right direction, Chianti Classico took a backward step earlier this week, and we don&amp;#8217;t need backward steps.&lt;/p&gt;
  13144.  
  13145.  
  13146.  
  13147. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The welfare of the horse is the most important thing, and, on that note, we&amp;#8217;ve decided the most sensible thing to do is retire him and let him have a wonderful life away from racing, which I&amp;#8217;m sure he will.&lt;/p&gt;
  13148.  
  13149.  
  13150.  
  13151. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Chianti Classico has given us the most unbelievable journey.&lt;/p&gt;
  13152.  
  13153.  
  13154.  
  13155. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Francis Brooke and Richard Pilkington became involved with Chianti Classico after Aiden Murphy and I bought him off Ben Halsall at the Newmarket Cheltenham Tattersalls sales.&lt;/p&gt;
  13156.  
  13157.  
  13158.  
  13159. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Since then, he has just been an absolute revelation, an absolute star for us.&lt;/p&gt;
  13160.  
  13161.  
  13162.  
  13163. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Obviously, the highlight of his career for us was winning the Ultima Chase at Cheltenham in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  13164.  
  13165.  
  13166.  
  13167. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;How can we ever forget that unbelievable moment?&lt;/p&gt;
  13168.  
  13169.  
  13170.  
  13171. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But in many respects, one of his greatest runs for me was when he won The Sodexo Gold Cup at Ascot last November, carrying top weight.&lt;/p&gt;
  13172.  
  13173.  
  13174.  
  13175. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We were all there at Ascot that day, and as we all know, Francis Brooke is ‘His Majesty&amp;#8217;s representative of Ascot’, and to all stand and watch Chianti Classico win from his balcony was a moment of sheer joy for all of us.&lt;/p&gt;
  13176.  
  13177.  
  13178.  
  13179. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Whatever happens in horses&amp;#8217; lives, we always want the best for them. And the decision has not been taken lightly, but it&amp;#8217;s the right thing for the horse.&lt;/p&gt;
  13180.  
  13181.  
  13182.  
  13183. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I cannot thank Francis and Richard enough for their support, James Sheahan and all the staff at Glenbevan Stud who looked and treasured him in the early spring and over the summer, Enda Bolger for pre-training him and of course all the vets who have looked after him.&lt;/p&gt;
  13184.  
  13185.  
  13186.  
  13187. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A big thank you to David Bass, Harry Cobden, Tom Bellamy and Ciaran Gethings for riding him and of course to all the team here who&amp;#8217;ve looked after him all those years, especially Erika who looked after him and absolutely adore him.&lt;/p&gt;
  13188.  
  13189.  
  13190.  
  13191. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It has been a joy and an honour to have had Chianti Classico around and here to train.&lt;/p&gt;
  13192.  
  13193.  
  13194.  
  13195. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We all just loved his exuberance for life and racing. A one-off.&lt;/p&gt;
  13196.  
  13197.  
  13198.  
  13199. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Very sad, but we look back with great memories. A great record… 14 starts, eight wins, two seconds, one third.&lt;/p&gt;
  13200.  
  13201.  
  13202.  
  13203. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His picture can now take pride of place on the wall in my office, which is something I wasn&amp;#8217;t looking forward to putting up as they only go on the wall when they retire, but what a life, what a horse, and what pleasure he has given us all.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13286. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AN interior designer has revealed the painting mistake Brits need to stop immediately.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13287.  
  13288.  
  13289.

  13299.  
  13300.  
  13301.  
  13302. &lt;p&gt;Tash Bradley, the Director of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/interior-design/&quot;&gt;Interior Design&lt;/a&gt; at Lick, has shared why homeowners must wave goodbye to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35313231/paint-oak-doors-trolls-hate-it-better-before/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;painting&lt;/a&gt; their ceilings in Brilliant White.&lt;/p&gt;
  13303.  
  13304.  
  13305.  
  13306. &lt;p&gt;Instead, Tash exposed her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;top tips&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/26954312/interior-design-home-budget-rugs-wayfair-lamps/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;how to make rooms look bigger&lt;/a&gt; and fresher.&lt;/p&gt;
  13307.  
  13308.  
  13309.  
  13310. &lt;p&gt;Posting online, Tash, who often shares colour advice and inspiration on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;, simply said: “I want you guys to stop painting your ceiling in Brilliant White and here is why.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13311.  
  13312.  
  13313.  
  13314. &lt;p&gt;Tash then explained: “If you leave your ceiling in Brilliant White, what happens is, the contrast between your wall colour and your ceiling is too strong and you walk into a room and all you do is you notice your ceiling, because you&amp;#8217;re always drawn to the lightest part of your room.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13315.  
  13316.  
  13317.  
  13318. &lt;p&gt;Rather than the ceiling being the focal point, Tash stressed the importance of creating “a soft transition” and having your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35777462/cheap-shein-sofa-arrived-tiny-box-looks-stunning/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sofa&lt;/a&gt; or your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35958138/transformed-bed-blankets-saved-money/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;bed&lt;/a&gt; as the focus.&lt;/p&gt;
  13319.  
  13320.  
  13321.  
  13322. &lt;p&gt;As a result, she shared her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36805057/cosy-christmas-2025-interior-trend-nostalgic-ralph-lauren/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;top advice&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; and if you’re still desperate for a white ceiling, she recommended: “Go for a complimentary white &amp;#8211; so that is a white that has the same undertone as your wall colour.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13323.  
  13324.  
  13325.  
  13326. &lt;p&gt;For example, if you’ve got a pink &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36501858/council-house-bedroom-american-style-makeover-cheap/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;bedroom&lt;/a&gt;, Tash advised opting for a white paint with a pink undertone for the ceiling, which will “soften the transition” and make the room feel “so much more designed and beautiful.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13327.  
  13328.  
  13329.  
  13330. &lt;p&gt;As well as this, Tash explained why &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/26401624/what-is-colour-drenching-rooms-bigger-paint/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;colour drenching&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; a design trend where a single colour is used across multiple surfaces in a space, including walls, ceilings, woodwork, and even furniture &amp;#8211; is the way forward,&lt;/p&gt;
  13331.  
  13332.  
  13333.  
  13334. &lt;p&gt;And according to Tash, doing so will “open up” a space in an instant.&lt;/p&gt;
  13335.

  13405. &lt;p&gt;But social media users were left totally divided by her claims &amp;#8211; while many were thankful and couldn’t agree more, others weren’t quite on the same page.&lt;/p&gt;
  13406.  
  13407.  
  13408.  
  13409. &lt;p&gt;One person said: “Say it louder.” &lt;/p&gt;

  13511. &lt;/div&gt;
  13512. &lt;/div&gt;
  13513. &lt;/div&gt;
  13515.  
  13516.  
  13517.  
  13518. &lt;p&gt;With a bet of that value and size, you have to expect drama. That was exactly the case.&lt;/p&gt;
  13519.  
  13520.  
  13521.  
  13522. &lt;p&gt;In total, the Dorset punter placed eight bets on the same 19 selections from across matches in South America, on accumulators ranging from 30p to 90p stakes.&lt;/p&gt;
  13523.  
  13524.  
  13525.  
  13526. &lt;p&gt;The plucky bet was derived from a bit of form checking, the punter says but also acknowledged they&amp;#8217;d have to get lucky.&lt;/p&gt;
  13527.  
  13528.  
  13529.  
  13530. &lt;p&gt;And they should&amp;#8217;ve known they were in for a chance when the opening selection, Union Magdalena (6/4),sensationally came from 2-0 down with NINE MEN to beat Aguilas Doradas Rionegro.&lt;/p&gt;
  13531.  
  13532.  
  13533.  
  13534. &lt;p&gt;Club Olimpia (7/10) also came from behind to beat Sporting Ameliano thanks to an injury time penalty.&lt;/p&gt;
  13535.  
  13536.  
  13537.  
  13538. &lt;p&gt;Yet that drama was topped by Red Bull Bragantino (10/11) who were picked to beat Gremio and were awarded a controversial 102nd minute penalty which was converted four minutes later in the 106th minute!&lt;/p&gt;
  13539.  
  13540.  
  13541.  
  13542. &lt;p&gt;Four of the eight accas were cashed out for a quite remarkable £172,038.84, with the other four left to run to bank a further £196,237.19 &amp;#8211; which the customer didn&amp;#8217;t know had landed until checking results the next day.&lt;/p&gt;

  13566. &lt;p class=&quot;article-readmore-text__subdeck&quot;&gt;Betfair punter turns £2 into £12k thanks to 6,000/1 winning footy acca&lt;/p&gt;
  13567. &lt;/a&gt;

  13573.  
  13574.  
  13575.  
  13576. &lt;p&gt;A total of &lt;strong&gt;£386,276.03&lt;/strong&gt; in sensational fashion, though the slight downside being the total returns would have been over £556k had they not cashed out!&lt;/p&gt;
  13577.  
  13578.  
  13579.  
  13580. &lt;p&gt;The punter said: &amp;#8220;I felt like I was dreaming&amp;#8230; I had studied the form of a lot of the teams and just felt lucky. &lt;/p&gt;
  13581.  
  13582.  
  13583.  
  13584. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I cashed out on a few of the bets because I wanted to win something, and I wasn&amp;#8217;t confident all 19 teams would go on and win. &lt;/p&gt;
  13585.  
  13586.  
  13587.  
  13588. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t know what I&amp;#8217;m going to do with the winnings yet, but I&amp;#8217;m now able to help my family out&amp;#8230; it really is a dream come true.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13589.  
  13590.  
  13591.  
  13592. &lt;p&gt;Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: &amp;#8220;When it comes to sheer absurd accas, this one tops the lot. 19 teams, all at home, nine-men comebacks, 106&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; minute winners, cashouts&amp;#8230; this bet had it all.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13593.  
  13594.  
  13595.  
  13596. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re tipping our hat to our punter who might have landed the greatest acca of all-time, and suspect a trip to South America could well be on the cards for them!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13672. &lt;p&gt;LAST week, I attended the funeral of the mother of a dear friend of mine, Robert, who’s the eldest of four children.&lt;/p&gt;
  13673.  
  13674.  
  13675.  
  13676. &lt;p&gt;In his moving &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35798516/video-teen-funeral-eulogy-mother-stepdad-charged-murder/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;eulogy&lt;/a&gt;, he said his mother’s greatest achievement was to make all four of her kids certain they were her favourite.&lt;/p&gt;

  13685.  
  13686.  
  13687.  
  13688. &lt;p&gt;He was right — it’s a huge accomplishment to make your children feel equally special.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13689.  
  13690.  
  13691.  
  13692. &lt;p&gt;Because the truth is, while we love all our children, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/32861306/parents-have-favourite-child-reasons-why/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;mums often do have a favourite&lt;/a&gt; — and no matter how hard you try to hide it, your kids always know.&lt;/p&gt;
  13693.  
  13694.  
  13695.  
  13696. &lt;p&gt;Like most mums, I’ve always bent over backwards to ensure I treated my three kids — Henry, 31, Matt, 28, and Lily, 23 — equally.&lt;/p&gt;
  13697.  
  13698.  
  13699.  
  13700. &lt;p&gt;I spent the same amount of cash on each of them at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; and birthdays, and went to all their school recitals and sports events — even if it meant leaving one child’s play halfway through to get to another kid’s cross &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3070536/woman-48-collapses-and-dies-during-gruelling-might-deestalker-cross-country-run-in-darkness/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;country run&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13701.  
  13702.  
  13703.  
  13704. &lt;p&gt;Since they’ve grown up and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/19502663/single-mum-lonely-kids-left-home/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;left home&lt;/a&gt;, I’ve scrupulously divided my time and attention equally between them.&lt;/p&gt;
  13705.  
  13706.  
  13707.  
  13708. &lt;p&gt;But deep down, one of them holds a particularly special place in my heart.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13709.  
  13710.  
  13711.  
  13712. &lt;p&gt;Admitting you prefer one of your children over the others is one of the last parental &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18912248/american-parents-raised-thinking-sex-taboo-research/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;taboos&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  13713.  
  13714.  
  13715.  
  13716. &lt;p&gt;It’s more controversial than admitting you &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/14624170/mum-smoked-10-cigarettes-pregnancy-baby-almost-died/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;smoked while pregnant,&lt;/a&gt; more shocking than confessing you wish you’d never had a child in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;
  13717.  
  13718.  
  13719.  
  13720. &lt;p&gt;But while most parents will never say it, even to themselves, we all have a child whose company we enjoy best.&lt;/p&gt;
  13721.  
  13722.  
  13723.  
  13724. &lt;p&gt;My own parents made no secret of the fact they favoured me, the firstborn of three children.&lt;/p&gt;

  13746.  
  13747.  
  13748. &lt;p&gt;I was an easy baby, and became a hard-working, self-motivated kid. I got into Oxford, and then carved out a successful career as a journalist and bestselling novelist.&lt;/p&gt;
  13749.  
  13750.  
  13751.  
  13752. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, my younger sister Philippa was a sickly child and fell behind at school, leaving when she was just 16 and later marrying and divorcing three times.&lt;/p&gt;
  13753.  
  13754.  
  13755.  
  13756. &lt;p&gt;My brother Charles, the baby of the family, struggled with mental health issues and caused my parents sleepless nights well into adulthood.&lt;/p&gt;
  13757.  
  13758.  
  13759.  
  13760. &lt;p&gt;I was never in any doubt my parents loved them too, but it must have been easy to prefer the child who reflected well on their parenting skills rather than the two who made them feel they’d got it all wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  13761.  
  13762.  
  13763.  
  13764. &lt;p&gt;I was determined not to make the same mistake when I became a mother myself. I adored Henry, from the moment he was born — even when he was a tiny baby, I felt I just “got” him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13765.  
  13766.  
  13767.  
  13768. &lt;p&gt;When I fell pregnant with my second child, I was terrified I wouldn’t be able to love him as much as I loved Henry.&lt;/p&gt;
  13769.  
  13770.  
  13771.  
  13772. &lt;p&gt;Matt suffered terribly with colic, and he puzzled me in a way Henry never had.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13773.  
  13774.  
  13775.  
  13776. &lt;p&gt;I loved him from the moment he drew breath, of course, but it took several years before I understood what made him tick.&lt;/p&gt;
  13777.  
  13778.  
  13779.  
  13780. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36936183&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 668px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/737ad6f9-97bb-45fb-bfaf-f9c343358b89.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=658&quot; alt=&quot;Tess Stimson in her wedding dress with a man and woman.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36936183&quot; width=&quot;658&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Tess, seen with her siblings Charles and Phillipa, says she was the favourite of the children&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  13785.  
  13786.  
  13787.  
  13788. &lt;p&gt;When the boys were eight and five, Lily came along — the daughter I’d longed for. As a baby she was far less demanding than her brothers, and as she grew up we connected in the way only mothers and daughters can.&lt;/p&gt;
  13789.  
  13790.  
  13791.  
  13792. &lt;p&gt;Over the years, each of the children has rotated closer to me and then away and back again, depending on what’s happening in their lives.&lt;/p&gt;
  13793.  
  13794.  
  13795.  
  13796. &lt;p&gt;But one of them has always been extra special to me — although it’s probably not the one they’d think.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13797.  
  13798.  
  13799.  
  13800. &lt;p&gt;I feel guilty about it, but I can’t help it. I’ve always done my best to hide it, and I certainly love the other two just as much.&lt;/p&gt;
  13801.  
  13802.  
  13803.  
  13804. &lt;p&gt;The truth is, any of them may be “flavour of the month” at any given time, but in the end I consider myself very lucky to have three amazing children I can be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;
  13805.  
  13806.  
  13807.  
  13808. &lt;p&gt;Henry is charismatic, adventurous and easy to be around — the perfect holiday companion. I love being with him, and he reminds me a lot of my father.&lt;/p&gt;
  13809.  
  13810.  
  13811.  
  13812. &lt;p&gt;Matt’s more serious, and he’s the one I call when I want a deeper conversation about something on my mind. He’s incredibly thoughtful — on his birthday last month, he bought me a bouquet of flowers to thank me for “having” him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13813.  
  13814.  
  13815.  
  13816. &lt;p&gt;He reminds me a lot of my mother, with his huge reserves of empathy and need to make the world a better place.&lt;/p&gt;
  13817.  
  13818.  
  13819.  
  13820. &lt;p&gt;I probably have the most in common with Lily — she’s sharply funny and very practical, and we like many of the same things.&lt;/p&gt;
  13821.  
  13822.  
  13823.  
  13824. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  13826. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;WHY DO PARENTS FAVOUR ONE CHILD?&lt;/h3&gt;
  13827. &lt;/div&gt;
  13828. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  13831. &lt;div&gt;
  13832. &lt;p&gt;According to findings by the American Psychological Association, birth order, temperament and gender can all lead to you favouring one child over the other.&lt;/p&gt;
  13833. &lt;p&gt;The study analysed data from 30 studies and 14 databases which included information on more than 19,000 people.&lt;/p&gt;
  13834. &lt;p&gt;As well as taking note of age, personality traits and gender, the researchers looked at how parents reported their overall treatment of each child, including positive and negative interactions.&lt;/p&gt;
  13835. &lt;p&gt;Daughters and children who were more conscientious and agreeable received better treatment from their parents.&lt;/p&gt;
  13836. &lt;p&gt;“The&amp;nbsp;next&amp;nbsp;time you’re left wondering whether your sibling is the golden child, remember there is likely more going on behind the scenes than just a preference for the eldest or youngest,” said lead study author Dr Alexander Jensen, an associate professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.&lt;/p&gt;
  13837. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It might be about responsibility, temperament or just how easy or hard you are to deal with.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13838. &lt;/div&gt;
  13839. &lt;/div&gt;
  13840. &lt;/div&gt;
  13842.  
  13843.  
  13844.  
  13845. &lt;p&gt;She’s the one I spend most time with these days — we often have girl trips to the salon for a mani/pedi, and this week we even got second and third ear piercings together!&lt;/p&gt;
  13846.  
  13847.  
  13848.  
  13849. &lt;p&gt;But I still see a lot of her brothers, too. Last October I hiked the Grand Canyon with Henry, and Matt and I often meet for lunch, as he’s the one who lives nearest to me now Henry has moved to Florida.&lt;/p&gt;
  13850.  
  13851.  
  13852.  
  13853. &lt;p&gt;As for which one is my favourite — well, you’d have to ask them.&lt;/p&gt;
  13854.  
  13855.  
  13856.  
  13857. &lt;p&gt;Henry, 31, says: &amp;#8220;I’m definitely Mum’s favourite. Well, it’s only natural — I mean, look at her other options. &lt;/p&gt;
  13858.  
  13859.  
  13860.  
  13861. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Given the competition, it has to be me.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  13862.  
  13863.  
  13864.  
  13865. &lt;p&gt;Matt, 28, says: &amp;#8220;Favourite child? Depends on who’s made her the most recent cup of tea — she likes just the right amount of skimmed milk. &lt;/p&gt;
  13866.  
  13867.  
  13868.  
  13869. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That’s what separates the wheat from the chaff in her eyes, and I make the perfect cup of tea, so draw your own conclusions. &amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
  13870.  
  13871.  
  13872.  
  13873. &lt;p&gt;Lily, 23, says: &amp;#8220;Mum lets Henry get away with the most, but that’s because he’s basically a manchild, not because he’s her favourite. &lt;/p&gt;
  13874.  
  13875.  
  13876.  
  13877. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She and I get on really well, but honestly I don’t think she has a favourite — or if she does, she hides it brilliantly.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13878.  
  13879.  
  13880.  
  13881. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘The New House’ by Tess Stimson, out now&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  13924. &lt;p&gt;GRETA Thunberg has been slammed and mocked after sharing a picture of a starving Israeli hostage in her post about suffering Gazans.&lt;/p&gt;
  13925.  
  13926.  
  13927.  
  13928. &lt;p&gt;She uploaded a photo of emaciated Israeli&amp;nbsp;Evyatar David in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34866692/british-hostage-freed-hamas-tunnel-fury-award/&quot;&gt;Hamas tunnel&lt;/a&gt; alongside images of Gazans with injuries and being manhandled by the IDF.&lt;/p&gt;

  13941.  
  13942.  
  13943.  
  13944. &lt;p&gt;David, 24, with bones pushing through his skin, can be seen crouching down and writing on paper stuck to a wall.&lt;/p&gt;
  13945.  
  13946.  
  13947.  
  13948. &lt;p&gt;He was reportedly being forced to cross off days on a calendar to track his days in captivity in the taunting video released by Hamas.&lt;/p&gt;
  13949.  
  13950.  
  13951.  
  13952. &lt;p&gt;The post, shared by both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/greta-thunberg/page/2/&quot;&gt;Thunberg&lt;/a&gt; and the official flotilla page, read: &amp;#8220;The suffering of Palestinian prisoners is not a matter of &lt;span id=&quot;c25a913e-86a6-4b8a-8df6-a79afb844050&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;opinion&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#8211; It is a fact of systemic cruelty and dehumanisation.&lt;/p&gt;
  13953.  
  13954.  
  13955.  
  13956. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Humanity cannot be selective. Justice cannot have borders.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13957.  
  13958.  
  13959.  
  13960. &lt;p&gt;Israelis and other social media users were quick to spot the blunder, and blasted the eco warrior for her clear lack of diligence.&lt;/p&gt;
  13961.  
  13962.  
  13963.  
  13964. &lt;p&gt;Yeela David, Evyatar&amp;#8217;s sister, identified her brother and said: &amp;#8220;You should make a [sic] research before you post things you don’t understand about.&lt;/p&gt;
  13965.  
  13966.  
  13967.  
  13968. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In the 6th slide you put a photo of an Israeli Hostage who Hamas starved on purpose . This is Evyatar David.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13969.  
  13970.  
  13971.  
  13972. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Every minute you are not deleting the post you are becoming a bigger joke. Embarrassing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13973.  
  13974.  
  13975.  
  13976. &lt;p&gt;Israeli model Noa Cochva, named &lt;span id=&quot;b8db5d8c-471c-4471-bc66-33864cc7ee92&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Miss Universe&lt;/span&gt; Israel in 2021, wrote: &amp;#8220;If you really cared about your beloved Palestinians, you’d put Evyatar face front and centre and demand one thing: Bring every hostage home now.&lt;/p&gt;
  13977.  
  13978.  
  13979.  
  13980. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&amp;#8216;Release them. Dismantle Hamas. That’s literally the only thing that can end this war.&lt;/p&gt;

  14008. &lt;p&gt;Thunberg shared the post on Monday &amp;#8211; the same day she was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36892467/greta-thunberg-peace-flotilla-deported-intercepted-israel/&quot;&gt;deported from Israel to Greece&lt;/a&gt; after being detained alongside the 170 other activists on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36889704/israeli-military-board-greta-thunberg/&quot;&gt;the Global Sumud Flotilla&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14009.  
  14010.  
  14011.  
  14012. &lt;p&gt;The flotilla said it aimed to break the naval blockade and deliver much-needed aid to the Gaza strip.&lt;/p&gt;
  14013.  
  14014.  
  14015.  
  14016. &lt;p&gt;Just as with Thunberg&amp;#8217;s attempt in June, Israeli forces boarded the boats and scooped up the activists.&lt;/p&gt;

  14025.  
  14026.  
  14027.  
  14028. &lt;p&gt;In a statement posted to X, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said at the time: &amp;#8220;Several vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port.&lt;/p&gt;
  14029.  
  14030.  
  14031.  
  14032. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Greta and her friends are safe and healthy&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14033.  
  14034.  
  14035.  
  14036. &lt;p&gt;Footage of the arrests showed the boaters with life jackets on and their hands up.&lt;/p&gt;
  14037.  
  14038.  
  14039.  
  14040. &lt;p&gt;Members of the &lt;span&gt;Global Sumud Flotilla claimed Israeli troops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36889704/israeli-military-board-greta-thunberg/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8220;illegally intercepted&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; their journey &amp;#8211; just hours after they were circled by a warship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14041.  
  14042.  
  14043.  
  14044. &lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, Thunberg made the bombshell allegation that she and her flotilla mates were &amp;#8220;kidnapped and tortured&amp;#8221; by Israeli authorities.&lt;/p&gt;
  14045.  
  14046.  
  14047.  
  14048. &lt;p&gt;She refused to specify exactly how, but claimed she didn&amp;#8217;t get clean water and that other detainees were deprived of critical medication.&lt;/p&gt;
  14049.  
  14050.

  14053.  
  14054.  
  14055.  
  14056. &lt;p&gt;This flotilla was made up of more than 40 civilian boats carrying an estimated 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and activists, including Thunberg.&lt;/p&gt;

  14073.  
  14074.  
  14075.  
  14076. &lt;p&gt;Thunberg&amp;#8217;s latest stunt came after the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification described the situation in Gaza as &amp;#8220;entirely man-made&amp;#8221; .&lt;/p&gt;

  14081.

  14085.

  14087.

  14089.  
  14090.  
  14091.  
  14092. &lt;p&gt;The latest intervention of the flotilla was controversial and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36803338/pro-palestine-riots-italy/&quot;&gt;triggered mass demonstrations,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;threats of&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id=&quot;79c42be4-49ed-4224-82ea-e5a74cc02757&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;strikes&lt;/span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;and diplomatic censure.&lt;/p&gt;

  14115.  
  14116.  
  14117.  
  14118. &lt;p&gt;A NEW train service is launching this December connecting two major cities for a bargain price.&lt;/p&gt;
  14119.  
  14120.  
  14121.  
  14122. &lt;p&gt;Customers travelling between &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glasgow/&quot;&gt;Glasgow&lt;/a&gt; can do so on a new Lumo service which starts in just a few months.&lt;/p&gt;
  14123.  
  14124.

  14126. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36941364&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/lumo-train-london-kings-cross-1029712329.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A blue Lumo train with an orange stripe at London King's Cross Station.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36941364&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Lumo is launching a new service between London and Glasgow[/caption]
  14127.  
  14128.  
  14129.  
  14130. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36941369&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/kings-cross-station-london-kings-1029712622.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Exterior view of King's Cross Station in London, with its prominent clock tower and arched windows, under a blue sky with white clouds.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36941369&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Tickets for the journey cost as little as £33.90[/caption]
  14131.  
  14132.  
  14133.  
  14134. &lt;p&gt;Lumo, which &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/16492374/lumo-electric-train-edinburgh/&quot;&gt;launched in 2021&lt;/a&gt; and runs 100 per cent electric trains, announced its new service on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  14135.  
  14136.  
  14137.  
  14138. &lt;p&gt;It said: &amp;#8220;Our new timetable starts on 14th December 2025!&lt;/p&gt;
  14139.  
  14140.  
  14141.  
  14142. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glasgow/&quot;&gt;Glasgow&lt;/a&gt; service will start in December and we&amp;#8217;re also adding an additional service from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/newcastle/&quot;&gt;Newcastle&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; King&amp;#8217;s Cross every weekday.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14143.  
  14144.  
  14145.  
  14146. &lt;p&gt;Lumo plans to run&amp;nbsp;two northbound and one southbound service on weekdays and one service in each direction on Sundays&amp;nbsp;between &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/36628442/cheap-train-two-uk-cities-under-20/&quot;&gt;London King&amp;#8217;s Cross and Glasgow&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14147.  
  14148.  
  14149.  
  14150. &lt;p&gt;The new route will go between the two cities but will also stop at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/2696040/falkirk/&quot;&gt;Falkirk&lt;/a&gt; High&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/newcastle/&quot;&gt;Newcastle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14151.  
  14152.  
  14153.  
  14154. &lt;p&gt;If booked in advance for journeys in 2026, tickets start from as little as £33.90.&lt;/p&gt;
  14155.  
  14156.  
  14157.  
  14158. &lt;p&gt;Anyone travelling from Newcastle to Glasgow can buy tickets for just £10.90.&lt;/p&gt;
  14159.  
  14160.  
  14161.  
  14162. &lt;p&gt;Like with most train operators, the tickets will be cheaper if booked in advance rather than on the day &amp;#8211; and you can book up to 24 weeks before your journey. &lt;/p&gt;
  14163.  
  14164.  
  14165.  
  14166. &lt;p&gt;Currently services with Lumo between London King&amp;#8217;s Cross and Glasgow Queen Street require a change at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/edinburgh/&quot;&gt;Edinburgh&lt;/a&gt; and take just over five hours.&lt;/p&gt;
  14167.  
  14168.  
  14169.  
  14170. &lt;p&gt;This isn&amp;#8217;t the only &lt;span&gt;new journey between London and Scotland that has been approved, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35250230/new-budget-train-line-london/&quot;&gt;Lumo route to Stirling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; starts in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spring/&quot;&gt;spring&lt;/a&gt; 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

  14195.  
  14196.  
  14197.  
  14198. &lt;p&gt;Lumo’s new route will link London Euston directly to Stirling, calling at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/milton-keynes/&quot;&gt;Milton Keynes&lt;/a&gt;, Nuneaton, Crewe, Preston, Carlisle, Lockerbie,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/5004601/motherwell/&quot;&gt;Motherwell&lt;/a&gt;, Whifflet (serving Coatbridge), Greenfaulds (serving Cumbernauld) and Larbert.&lt;/p&gt;
  14199.  
  14200.  
  14201.  
  14202. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Another potential service is from&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/28015796/new-low-cost-train-planned-london-rochdale/&quot;&gt;London Euston to Rochdale&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;which will call at&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Manchester Victoria,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Eccles, Newton-le-Willows, and Warrington Bank Quay&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14203.  
  14204.  
  14205.  
  14206. &lt;p&gt;The route is still under application, but could launch in 2027 and if approved would be the first time that a direct train has connected Rochdale to London for more than 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  14207.  
  14208.  
  14209.  
  14210. &lt;p&gt;As for where to sit on a Lumo service, the trains do not have a first class option.&lt;/p&gt;
  14211.  
  14212.  
  14213.  
  14214. &lt;p&gt;But they do have USB sockets, tray tables and comfortable seating.&lt;/p&gt;
  14215.  
  14216.  
  14217.  
  14218. &lt;p&gt;Passengers can also personalise their lighting via a button on the back of the seat in front of them.&lt;/p&gt;
  14219.  
  14220.  
  14221.  
  14222. &lt;p&gt;For more trains, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/36864425/new-train-ticket-trail-launches-dont-pay-before-journey/&quot;&gt;here&amp;#8217;s the way that passengers can travel on UK trains without buying tickets&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14223.  
  14224.  
  14225.  
  14226. &lt;p&gt;Plus, this is where &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34920957/train-journey-uk-rail-britain-scotland-cornwall/&quot;&gt;you can find the most beautiful train journey &amp;#8211; it takes 10 minutes and costs £3&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14252. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A MOTHER of two has mysteriously vanished following a house fire, sparking an urgent hunt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14253.  
  14254.  
  14255.  
  14256. &lt;p&gt;Britney Gard, 46, suddenly disappeared, prompting her family to wonder if she has been taken.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14257.

  14265.  
  14266.  
  14267.  
  14268. &lt;p&gt;She was last seen just before 9:25pm on September 30 &amp;#8211; one day before smoke was seen coming from her Putnam County, Indiana, home.&lt;/p&gt;
  14269.  
  14270.  
  14271.  
  14272. &lt;p&gt;No one was found inside the home, heightening the mystery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14273.  
  14274.  
  14275.  
  14276. &lt;p&gt;But, the home was damaged in the fire, per &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/PCSDSheriff/posts/pfbid02xijVtMcLPsJ63GhN4Pw81Vjnc97Wps5yzyoTuxvLRoaogit4EYJJLnUx9cCRNnBsl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;cops (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;cops&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14277.  
  14278.  
  14279.  
  14280. &lt;p&gt;Gard has had no contact with her &lt;span id=&quot;bba78389-40c0-4d19-ae01-b085cd467642&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;family&lt;/span&gt; or friends since the blaze.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14281.  
  14282.  
  14283.  
  14284. &lt;p&gt;Family members grew concerned when Gard failed to show up for her daughter’s volleyball game.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14285.  
  14286.  
  14287.  
  14288. &lt;p&gt;“She was supposed to be at her daughter’s volleyball game. Wasn’t there,” Stephanie Bowen, Gard’s sister, told the ABC affiliate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/putnam-county/it-makes-no-sense-missing-putnam-county-womans-family-shares-details-about-troubling-disappearance&quot;&gt;WRTV-TV.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14289.  
  14290.  
  14291.  
  14292. &lt;p&gt;“And then there’s a fire. Her car is at home, her purse is at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  14293.  
  14294.  
  14295.  
  14296. &lt;p&gt;“It makes no sense.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14297.  
  14298.  
  14299.  
  14300. &lt;p&gt;The cause of the fire remains unknown, but investigators believe it is suspicious.&lt;/p&gt;
  14301.  
  14302.  
  14303.  
  14304. &lt;p&gt;“I feel like there’s something here bigger that we don’t know and someone knows something,” Bowen said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14305.  
  14306.  
  14307.  
  14308. &lt;p&gt;Bowen said she was “at a loss” regarding the disappearance.&lt;/p&gt;

  14319. MISSING mother Britney Gard vanished without a trace following a house fire. Here&amp;#039;s what we know so far &lt;/p&gt;
  14321. &lt;div&gt;
  14322. &lt;ul&gt;
  14323. &lt;li&gt;Gard was last seen on September 30 &lt;/li&gt;
  14324. &lt;li&gt;Smoke was seen coming from her home on October 1&lt;/li&gt;
  14325. &lt;li&gt;The blaze was put out by local crews&lt;/li&gt;
  14326. &lt;li&gt;No one was found inside the property&lt;/li&gt;
  14327. &lt;li&gt;Gard remains missing&lt;/li&gt;
  14328. &lt;/ul&gt;
  14329. &lt;p&gt;Source: Putnam County Sheriff&amp;#8217;s Office.&lt;/p&gt;
  14330. &lt;/div&gt;
  14331. &lt;/div&gt;
  14332. &lt;/div&gt;
  14334.  
  14335.  
  14336.  
  14337. &lt;p&gt;She described her sibling as someone that could always be relied on.&lt;/p&gt;
  14338.  
  14339.  
  14340.  
  14341. &lt;p&gt;“She’s a very giving person. Loving person,” she told the &lt;span id=&quot;9e7e3902-543e-422a-addf-11ad99b522e1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;NBC&lt;/span&gt; affiliate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mywabashvalley.com/news/local-news/a-plea-from-missing-putnum-county-womans-family/&quot;&gt;WTWO-TV.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14342.  
  14343.  
  14344.  
  14345. &lt;p&gt;Cops used drones as part of their search for Gard and have turned to other technologies. &lt;/p&gt;
  14346.  
  14347.  
  14348.  
  14349. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;17a87830-507a-4234-8a67-a073f02d43b1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/span&gt; searched a nearby pond, but didn’t find &lt;span id=&quot;782713ad-57ab-4312-95a8-0f8d894da8de&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the missing&lt;/span&gt; mother.&lt;/p&gt;
  14350.  
  14351.  
  14352.  
  14353. &lt;p&gt;“We continue to investigate this case around the clock and are involved with her family to find Britney,” Sheriff Jerrod E. Baugh said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14354.  
  14355.  
  14356.  
  14357. &lt;p&gt;“Since this is an active &lt;span id=&quot;d7e44571-1182-4b72-86ed-07c731340279&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/span&gt; and we continue to gather information hourly, we will not be discussing any further particular evidence or information until we can complete this endeavor and find Britney Gard.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14358.  
  14359.  
  14360.  
  14361. &lt;p&gt;The update was shared on October 3. No further updates have been released.&lt;/p&gt;
  14362.  
  14363.  
  14364.  
  14365. &lt;p&gt;Gard last posted on &lt;span id=&quot;e96e9fb4-e237-436a-8291-666212865057&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/span&gt; hours before her disappearance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14366.  
  14367.  
  14368.  
  14369. &lt;p&gt;She shared content taken at a rodeo event, and a video filmed at her daughter’s volleyball match.&lt;/p&gt;
  14370.  
  14371.  
  14372.  
  14373. &lt;p&gt;“Didn’t win but good game Bailey!” she captioned the sports clip.&lt;/p&gt;

  14421.  
  14422.  
  14423. &lt;p&gt;THIS is the terrifying moment a kidnapper snatches a baby away from a horrified mum outside an ice cream shop in a British seaside town.&lt;/p&gt;
  14424.  
  14425.  
  14426.  
  14427. &lt;p&gt;The shocking abduction unfolded outside an ice cream shop in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/blackpool/&quot;&gt;Blackpool&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lancashire/&quot;&gt;Lancashire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14436.  
  14437.  
  14438.  
  14439. &lt;p&gt;CCTV captures the moment a woman, who has now been jailed, walking up to a seven-month-old baby in a pram before wheeling the youngster off.&lt;/p&gt;
  14440.  
  14441.  
  14442.  
  14443. &lt;p&gt;In the horrifying footage, the woman in a black hooded top and jeans approaches the baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  14444.  
  14445.  
  14446.  
  14447. &lt;p&gt;The tot&amp;#8217;s pram was left on a pavement outside the ice cream shop where the baby&amp;#8217;s mother works, on Central Drive, near the seaside resort&amp;#8217;s main promenade.&lt;/p&gt;
  14448.  
  14449.  
  14450.  
  14451. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;d6a7801b-2b80-4f0a-b460-c21e15686c17&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/span&gt; pram with the tot inside is out of the mother&amp;#8217;s sight for  moments when the abductor pounces.&lt;/p&gt;
  14452.  
  14453.  
  14454.  
  14455. &lt;p&gt;While the mother talks to a delivery driver the kidnapper seizes her moment and &lt;span id=&quot;e4e2a670-c083-40dd-b543-c39097ff12bb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;strikes&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14456.  
  14457.  
  14458.  
  14459. &lt;p&gt;Approaching the baby and inspecting the pram the 51-year-old woman, with a mask on her face,  undoes the brake and then quickly wheels the pram off along the pavement.&lt;/p&gt;
  14460.  
  14461.  
  14462.  
  14463. &lt;p&gt;The kidnapper checks over her shoulder several times as she makes off with the baby. &lt;/p&gt;
  14464.  
  14465.  
  14466.  
  14467. &lt;p&gt;The mother then storms out of her ice cream shop and races down the street to save her child and confront the kidnapper. &lt;/p&gt;
  14468.  
  14469.  
  14470.  
  14471. &lt;p&gt;With the help of a member of the public the wrestles back the pram from the kidnapper.&lt;/p&gt;
  14472.  
  14473.  
  14474.  
  14475. &lt;p&gt;She takes her baby to safety as the woman who tried to steal the youngster away walks off down the street.&lt;/p&gt;

  14500.  
  14501.  
  14502.  
  14503. &lt;p&gt;As cops swooped on her the kidnapper verbally abused officers and  spat at one of them, Preston Crown &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  14504.  
  14505.  
  14506.  
  14507. &lt;p&gt;Goldrick pleaded guilty to child abduction and assaulting an emergency worker in an appearance at Preston Crown Court on July 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  14508.

  14526.  
  14527. &lt;p&gt;The tot&amp;#8217;s mother, Sarah Smith, and the baby&amp;#8217;s father said that the incident marked the worst day of their lives.  &lt;/p&gt;
  14528.  
  14529.  
  14530.  
  14531. &lt;p&gt;The pair went on to explain that the kidnapping was something they would never get over. &lt;/p&gt;
  14532.  
  14533.  
  14534.  
  14535. &lt;p&gt;Goldrick has now been jailed for 12 months after admitting to her crimes, which a judge said caused &amp;#8220;unimaginable terror.&amp;#8221;  &lt;/p&gt;
  14536.  
  14537.  
  14538.  
  14539. &lt;p&gt;A restraining order for five years has also been put in place by the court. &lt;/p&gt;
  14540.  
  14541.  
  14542.  
  14543. &lt;p&gt;Tom Snape, Senior Crown prosecutor for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crown-prosecution-service/&quot;&gt;Crown Prosecution Service&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/north-west/&quot;&gt;North West&lt;/a&gt;, said: “Nicolette Goldrick’s brazen actions caused unimaginable terror as she attempted to abduct a baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  14544.  
  14545.  
  14546.  
  14547. &lt;p&gt;“This incident encapsulates every parent’s worst nightmare, forcing her mother to chase after her.“&lt;/p&gt;
  14548.  
  14549.  
  14550.  
  14551. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Goldrick’s abuse to the officers upon her arrest suggests she has little remorse for her actions.&lt;/p&gt;
  14552.  
  14553.  
  14554.  
  14555. &lt;p&gt;“I hope the baby’s parents can begin to move forward knowing Goldrick has faced the consequences of her actions.”&lt;/p&gt;

  14611. &lt;p&gt;LORD&amp;#8217;S Cricket Ground has been left barely recognisable after the grass was ripped up as part of an incredible transformation.&lt;/p&gt;
  14612.  
  14613.  
  14614.  
  14615. &lt;p&gt;The London venue is one of the world&amp;#8217;s most iconic sporting stadiums in the world and is viewed as the &amp;#8220;home of cricket&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14624.  
  14625.  
  14626.  
  14627. &lt;p&gt;Lord&amp;#8217;s has been host to some of the most memorable moments in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cricket/&quot;&gt;cricket&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14628.  
  14629.  
  14630.  
  14631. &lt;p&gt;This includes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/cricket/9505998/england-cricket-world-cup-new-zealand-final-lords/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;England&amp;#8217;s famous World Cup victory over New Zealand&lt;/a&gt; in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  14632.  
  14633.  
  14634.  
  14635. &lt;p&gt;It was also the setting for legendary bowler &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/james-anderson/&quot;&gt;James Anderson&lt;/a&gt; to take his 500th Test wicket in September 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  14636.  
  14637.  
  14638.  
  14639. &lt;p&gt;However, it does not appear anywhere near ready to host any cricket anytime soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  14640.  
  14641.  
  14642.  
  14643. &lt;p&gt;Pictures have emerged of the ground without its hallowed turf and looking more like a dirtbike track.&lt;/p&gt;
  14644.  
  14645.  
  14646.  
  14647. &lt;p&gt;The ground looks barely recognisable as video shows &amp;#8211; though the instantly recognisable pavilion and media centre can be seen.&lt;/p&gt;
  14648.  
  14649.  
  14650.  
  14651. &lt;p&gt;The work is part of the ground renovation of the outfield over the autumn months.&lt;/p&gt;
  14652.  
  14653.  
  14654.  
  14655. &lt;p&gt;It is the first time in 23 years that this has happened, and pieces of the old turf are being sold off for £50 a piece.&lt;/p&gt;
  14656.  
  14657.

  14660.  
  14661.  
  14662.  
  14663. &lt;p&gt;Proceeds from the sales will be reinvested into the stadium as well as 10 per cent being donated to the MCC Foundation&amp;#8217;s Global Refugee Cricket Fund.&lt;/p&gt;
  14664.  
  14665.  
  14666.  
  14667. &lt;p&gt;The process requires the top 15mm of the turf to be stripped, with fresh seed being laid.&lt;/p&gt;

  14692.  
  14693.  
  14694.  
  14695. &lt;p&gt;The work is due to run until February 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

  14700.  
  14701.  
  14702.

  14824.  
  14825.  
  14826.  
  14827. &lt;p&gt;The airline already connects the UK to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/india/&quot;&gt;India&lt;/a&gt; with routes to Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai.&lt;/p&gt;
  14828.  
  14829.  
  14830.  
  14831. &lt;p&gt;However, the additional route will mean more flight options for Brits wanting to visit the famous city.&lt;/p&gt;

  14843. &lt;p&gt;Delhi is one of the world&amp;#8217;s busiest cities, but is one of the popular destinations Brits fly to when exploring the Golden Triangle.&lt;/p&gt;
  14844.

  14848.  
  14849.  
  14850.  
  14851. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s affordable too &amp;#8211; Delhi was named one of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/33861145/best-value-holiday-destinations-2025-post-office/&quot;&gt;best value, long-haul holiday destinations&lt;/a&gt; by the &lt;span id=&quot;383f9f59-1c7b-400c-b869-a3fa5254bae0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Post Office&lt;/span&gt; earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  14852.  
  14853.  
  14854.  
  14855. &lt;p&gt;The Indian city made the top ten, behind Sri Lanka and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/japan/&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14887. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/virgin-atlantic/&quot;&gt;Virgin Atlantic&lt;/a&gt; celebrated 25 years of flying to India.&lt;/p&gt;
  14888.  
  14889.  
  14890.  
  14891. &lt;p&gt;And Indian airline IndiGo launched its first UK flight to India &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35216514/little-known-airline-first-flights-london-airport/&quot;&gt;earlier this year from Manchester&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14892.  
  14893.  
  14894.  
  14895. &lt;p&gt;It has since added a new route from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london-heathrow/&quot;&gt;London Heathrow&lt;/a&gt; to Mumbai.&lt;/p&gt;
  14896.  
  14897.  
  14898.  
  14899. &lt;p&gt;India is also now much easier to visit for Brits.&lt;/p&gt;
  14900.  
  14901.  
  14902.  
  14903. &lt;p&gt;New rules introduced this month will now allow tourists to apply for an e-visa before they travel.&lt;/p&gt;

  14911. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  14914. &lt;div&gt;
  14915. &lt;p&gt;Our week-long trip on the  &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1197270/indian-train-journey-simply-mah-vellous/&quot;&gt;the Maharajas’ Express&lt;/a&gt; began with a red carpet, flower garlanded, musical welcome in Delhi where we joined the&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6699036/inside-the-worlds-most-luxurious-train-with-wood-panels-handmade-porcelain-and-huge-windows-to-enjoy-journey-like-a-movie/&quot;&gt; luxury train, each cabin with en suite facilities&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14916. &lt;p&gt;Feeling like Maharajas we ate dinner in the beautiful dining car, with its white linen, gold crockery and wonderful service.&lt;/p&gt;
  14917. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/6195302/great-british-bucket-list/&quot;&gt;This is a bucket-list journey&lt;/a&gt; — not cheap but an incredible way to see India where the dirt, noise and madness of the cities is in utter contrast to the peace and opulence on board the train.&lt;/p&gt;
  14918. &lt;p&gt;After a few glasses of wine and a nightcap in the Safari Bar, it was off to bed.&lt;/p&gt;
  14919. &lt;p&gt;The movement of the train was quite bumpy, and I remember thinking I’d never get to sleep.&lt;/p&gt;
  14920. &lt;p&gt;Next thing, my butler was knocking to wake me up with a pot of tea for our early start to see the Taj Mahal.&lt;/p&gt;
  14921. &lt;p&gt;This iconic monument to a beloved wife never fails to amaze with its tranquil beauty and moving love story.&lt;/p&gt;
  14922. &lt;/div&gt;
  14923. &lt;/div&gt;
  14924. &lt;/div&gt;
  14926.  
  14927.  
  14928.  
  14929. &lt;p&gt;Allowed to be applied for up to 72 hours before entering the country, it will replace the often-long-winded process of filling out forms on the plane or at the airport.&lt;/p&gt;
  14930.  
  14931.  
  14932.  
  14933. &lt;p&gt;Can&amp;#8217;t quite make it to India? Here is an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/24313590/neasden-temple-london-india-taj-mahal/&quot;&gt;attraction in the UK that looks like somewhere in India instead.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  14995.  
  14996.  
  14997.

  14999.  
  15000.  
  15001.  
  15002. &lt;p&gt;A special homicide squad are still investigating the case, but cops have said &amp;#8220;a family connection is suspected&amp;#8221; for the crime. &lt;/p&gt;
  15003.  
  15004.

  15006. &lt;p&gt;Stalzer&amp;#8217;s 15-year-old adopted son told police that he found his mum inside their home following the brutal attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  15007.  
  15008.  
  15009.

  15012.  
  15013.

  15020.  
  15021.  
  15022. &lt;p&gt;They said: &amp;#8220;Half an hour before the rescue helicopter landed, I heard the boy and his mother arguing. They were literally screaming at each other.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15023.  
  15024.

  15056.  
  15057.  
  15058. &lt;p&gt;She was &amp;#8220;awake at some point&amp;#8221; and able to answer brief questions.&lt;/p&gt;
  15059.  
  15060.  
  15061.  
  15062. &lt;p&gt;The mum reportedly said she &amp;#8220;knew who committed the crime&amp;#8221;, but gave no further details.&lt;/p&gt;
  15063.  
  15064.  
  15065.  
  15066. &lt;p&gt;Stalzer had only been elected mayor for the 22,500-inhabitant town in the Ruhr region after a runoff vote on September 28.&lt;/p&gt;

  15076.  
  15077.  
  15078. &lt;p&gt;She narrowly won with 52.2 per cent&amp;nbsp;of the vote against centre-right Christian Democrat&amp;nbsp;candidate Fabian Conrad Haas.&lt;/p&gt;
  15079.  
  15080.  
  15081.  
  15082. &lt;p&gt;Her term office is set to begin on November 1.&lt;/p&gt;
  15083.  
  15084.  
  15085.  
  15086. &lt;p&gt;German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), spoke about the attack on social media: &amp;#8220;We have received&amp;nbsp;news&amp;nbsp;of a terrible deed in Herdecke,&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15087.  
  15088.  
  15089.  
  15090. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It must be swiftly investigated. We fear for the life of the mayor-designate and hope for her full recovery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15091.  
  15092.  
  15093.  
  15094. &lt;p&gt;The SPD parliamentary group leader in Berlin, Matthias Miersch, said&amp;nbsp;he hopes Stalzer will &amp;#8220;survive the terrible act.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15095.  
  15096.  
  15097.  
  15098. &lt;p&gt;The case raises the memories of the 2019 murder of conservative local government president Walter Luebcke.&lt;/p&gt;
  15099.  
  15100.  
  15101.  
  15102. &lt;p&gt;He was shot dead by a far-Right activist as he smoked a cigarette on his terrace at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  15103.  
  15104.  
  15105.  
  15106. &lt;p&gt;Luebcke was a vocal supporter of former Chancellor Angela Merkel’s refugee policy.&lt;/p&gt;
  15107.  
  15108.  
  15109.  
  15110. &lt;p&gt;Interior minister Nancy Faeser warned the case could confirm the “great danger posed by Islamist acts of violence.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15111.

  15156.  
  15157. &lt;p&gt;EASTENDERS actor Max Bowden has grown closer to another co-star after his recent split &amp;#8211; and this time she’s a very familiar soap actress herself.&lt;/p&gt;
  15158.  
  15159.  
  15160.  
  15161. &lt;p&gt;The actor &amp;#8211; who plays Ben Mitchell in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; soap &amp;#8211; has become close to former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/coronation-street/&quot;&gt;Coronation Street&lt;/a&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-mcglynn/&quot;&gt;Katie McGlynn&lt;/a&gt; while co-starring in touring play Murder At Midnight.&lt;/p&gt;

  15170.  
  15171.  
  15172.  
  15173. &lt;p&gt;A source revealed: “Max and Katie have been around each other for years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15174.  
  15175.  
  15176.  
  15177. &lt;p&gt;“They were in the soap world for so long where everyone knows each other.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15178.  
  15179.  
  15180.  
  15181. &lt;p&gt;“They’ve got loads in common and both have found themselves single at the same time as doing the tour.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15182.  
  15183.  
  15184.  
  15185. &lt;p&gt;“They get on well and have been spending time together &amp;#8211; it’s clear they’ve got chemistry. Who knows what the &lt;span id=&quot;7b14ad07-4dad-47c5-9aa9-be7069ce4c40&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; holds?”&lt;/p&gt;
  15186.  
  15187.  
  15188.  
  15189. &lt;p&gt;It wouldn’t be Max’s first burgeoning relationship with a co-star to make headlines.&lt;/p&gt;
  15190.  
  15191.  
  15192.  
  15193. &lt;p&gt;Before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36715841/eastenders-max-bowden-split-girlfriend-ben-mitchell-comeback/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;splitting with his last girlfriend Tori Allen-Martin &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; who he &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35531250/eastenders-max-bowden-snogging-new-girlfriend-tori/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;met during play Midnight Cowboy&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; he was spotted with a string of co-stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  15194.  
  15195.  
  15196.  
  15197. &lt;p&gt;Max famously &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/29229292/eastenders-shona-mcgarty-new-fiance-dating-max-bowden/&quot;&gt;dated his EastEnders co-star Shona McGarty&lt;/a&gt;, 33, before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33561705/eastenders-danielle-harold-max-bowdens-backstage-drama/&quot;&gt;moving on with Danielle Harold&lt;/a&gt;, 32, who he secretly courted for more than a year before they split.&lt;/p&gt;
  15198.  
  15199.  
  15200.  
  15201. &lt;p&gt;It was recently revealed that the couple were no longer on speaking terms and had unfollowed each other on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15202.  
  15203.  
  15204.  
  15205. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider previously said: “Max just can’t help himself when it comes to his co-stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  15206.  
  15207.  
  15208.

  15275. &lt;p&gt;HAVING worked in social media for several years now, I’m used to the “joy” of receiving other people’s opinions and certainly since my lads’ mag days, I’ve grown accustomed to creepy comments from lechy men.&lt;/p&gt;
  15276.  
  15277.  
  15278.  
  15279. &lt;p&gt;However, there’s a particularly dark, vicious strain of internet trolling which is way more disturbing than anything Steve from Stoke or Craig from Carlisle could string together.&lt;/p&gt;

  15288.  
  15289.  
  15290.  
  15291. &lt;p&gt;And here’s the thing, the vast majority of these savage takes are from women.&lt;/p&gt;
  15292.  
  15293.  
  15294.  
  15295. &lt;p&gt;It’s the mum police on steroids – never short of a nasty barb or judgemental jibe and I find these girl-on-girl attacks really sad.&lt;/p&gt;
  15296.  
  15297.  
  15298.  
  15299. &lt;p&gt;We’ve all seen it in action over the last few weeks with poor old &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/molly-mae-hague/&quot;&gt;Molly-Mae Hague&lt;/a&gt; who can’t seem to win at the moment, no matter what she does.&lt;/p&gt;
  15300.  
  15301.  
  15302.  
  15303. &lt;p&gt;She was berated online – mostly by women – for apparently not being firm enough with her two-year-old daughter&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36715681/molly-mae-mentally-exhausted-too-soft-bambi-bite/&quot;&gt; Bambi over biting at nursery&lt;/a&gt;, a phase, by the way, which a lot of kids go through.&lt;/p&gt;
  15304.  
  15305.  
  15306.  
  15307. &lt;p&gt;“Molly’s failing terribly,” wrote one pearl-clutcher.&lt;/p&gt;
  15308.  
  15309.  
  15310.  
  15311. &lt;p&gt;“Why does she wanna keep biting people?&amp;#8221; tutted another. “I’ve got two young kids who wouldn’t dream of it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15312.  
  15313.  
  15314.  
  15315. &lt;p&gt;“Too soft… especially as it KEEPS happening,” blasted a third.&lt;/p&gt;
  15316.  
  15317.  
  15318.  
  15319. &lt;p&gt;Just a few days later, the perfect parents were back again, this time over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36800537/molly-mae-shamed-bambi-breakfast-make-her-poorly/&quot;&gt;Molly-Mae’s portion sizes as she served Bambi’s breakfast&lt;/a&gt; of Weetabix mixed with chia and flax seeds.&lt;/p&gt;
  15320.  
  15321.  
  15322.  
  15323. &lt;p&gt;“Poor kid is going to get crippling stomach cramps,” wrote someone who I’m pretty certain wasn’t a qualified healthcare professional.&lt;/p&gt;
  15324.  
  15325.  
  15326.  
  15327. &lt;p&gt;“She’s actually quite clueless, Molly.”&lt;/p&gt;

  15351. &lt;p&gt;These aren’t gentle, well-meaning comments from people offering friendly advice out of the goodness of their hearts. This is bullying, plain and simple.&lt;/p&gt;
  15352.  
  15353.  
  15354.  
  15355. &lt;p&gt;And it’s the most cowardly form because there’s no way these keyboard warriors would say any of this to Molly-Mae’s face.&lt;/p&gt;
  15356.  
  15357.  
  15358.  
  15359. &lt;p&gt;I get this sort of stuff all the time. Of the many things I do that make me a “terrible mother”, it’s my lingerie modelling and low-cut dresses which trigger them the most.&lt;/p&gt;
  15360.  
  15361.  
  15362.  
  15363. &lt;p&gt;Almost all of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36673234/molly-mae-hague-responds-ntas-backlash/&quot;&gt;backlash comes from women&lt;/a&gt;, questioning my abilities as a mum purely because &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/36911354/helen-flanagan-shows-off-ample-assets/&quot;&gt;I don’t wear baggy polo necks and ankle-length skirts.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15364.  
  15365.  
  15366.  
  15367. &lt;p&gt;“How can you dress like that when you’re a MOTHER?” they cry whenever I post anything showing a bit of flesh.&lt;/p&gt;

  15376.  
  15377.  
  15378.  
  15379. &lt;p&gt;Well, Sandra, it’s because it makes me feel empowered, I like to feel sexy and I enjoy feeling good about myself.&lt;/p&gt;
  15380.  
  15381.  
  15382.  
  15383. &lt;p&gt;And if I want to, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36870003/helen-flanagan-flashes-bra-plunging-lace-up-top/&quot;&gt;I’ll continue posting these pictures&lt;/a&gt; when I’m in my 40s, 50s and even my 60s because I don’t think there’s an age limit on being sexy.&lt;/p&gt;
  15384.  
  15385.  
  15386.  
  15387. &lt;p&gt;Let’s face it, how did we become mums in the first place? We’ve all had &lt;a href=&quot;http://thesun.co.uk/topic/sex&quot;&gt;sex&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
  15388.  
  15389.  
  15390.  
  15391. &lt;p&gt;The night before my birthday this year, I posted what I thought was a lovely &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/make-up/&quot;&gt;make-up&lt;/a&gt; video only to be bombarded with comments and messages about my cleavage.&lt;/p&gt;
  15392.  
  15393.  
  15394.  
  15395. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;NO AGE LIMIT ON SEXY &lt;/h2&gt;
  15396.  
  15397.  
  15398.  
  15399. &lt;p&gt;According to the wise women of Instagram, I looked “slutty”, “tacky” and it proved I had “no class”.&lt;/p&gt;
  15400.  
  15401.  
  15402.  
  15403. &lt;p&gt;“I feel sorry for her kids,” said one.&lt;/p&gt;
  15404.  
  15405.  
  15406.  
  15407. &lt;p&gt;“What kind of message is this sending to her daughters?”&lt;/p&gt;

  15412.  
  15413.  
  15414.  
  15415. &lt;p&gt;I want my &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35074638/emotional-helen-flanagan-reveals-devastating-moment/&quot;&gt;daughters Matilda, 10, and Delilah&lt;/a&gt;, seven, to grow up with body confidence and kindness.&lt;/p&gt;

  15428. &lt;p&gt;Helen first appeared as Rosie Webster in the ITV soap 25 years ago, aged nine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15429. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 2012 &amp;#8211; left Coronation Street&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15430. &lt;p&gt;After 12 years, Helen left to pursue other interests.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15431. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;November 2012 &amp;#8211; ITV’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15432. &lt;p&gt;Helen was one of the most talked-about contestants for her reactions during the Bushtucker trials. She finished in 7th place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15433. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;August 2014 &amp;#8211; Holby City&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15434. &lt;p&gt;Helen switched to the BBC hospital programme and played nurse Kirsty Brompton.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15435. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 2017 &amp;#8211; returned to Coronation Street&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15436. &lt;p&gt;Five years later, she reprised her role as Rosie in Weatherfield.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15437. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 2018 &amp;#8211; left Coronation Street &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15438. &lt;p&gt;Helen went on maternity leave, but due to family priorities and childcare logistics, she didn&amp;#8217;t return. &lt;/p&gt;
  15439. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April 2023 &amp;#8211; I’m a Celebrity…South Africa&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15440. &lt;p&gt;She took part in the All Stars series and placed joint 7th.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15441. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;August 2024 &amp;#8211; Celebs Go Dating&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15442. &lt;p&gt;Helen took part in the 13th series of the hit Channel 4 reality show but was already in a relationship with former footballer Robbie Talbot.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15443. &lt;/div&gt;
  15444. &lt;/div&gt;
  15445. &lt;/div&gt;
  15447.  
  15448.  
  15449.  
  15450. &lt;p&gt;I don’t want them to grow up being horrible and bitchy to women.&lt;/p&gt;
  15451.  
  15452.  
  15453.  
  15454. &lt;p&gt;The trolls can’t stand it if I ever have time to myself. &lt;/p&gt;
  15455.  
  15456.  
  15457.  
  15458. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35315060/helen-flanagan-stuns-in-tiny-bikini-top/&quot;&gt; I went to Ibiza for a weekend&lt;/a&gt; with some friends and got trolled to death because how dare I have a holiday!&lt;/p&gt;
  15459.  
  15460.  
  15461.  
  15462. &lt;p&gt;“Oh, here she goes, dumping her kids again!” blasted one.&lt;/p&gt;
  15463.  
  15464.  
  15465.  
  15466. &lt;p&gt;“Everybody hates her. Even her children hate her.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15467.  
  15468.  
  15469.  
  15470. &lt;p&gt;I live and breathe my children and I have them 95% of the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  15471.  
  15472.  
  15473.  
  15474. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;WOMEN CAN&amp;#8217;T WIN &lt;/h2&gt;
  15475.  
  15476.  
  15477.  
  15478. &lt;p&gt;Their dad – &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31977894/helen-flanagan-breaks-silence-reunion-scott-sinclair/&quot;&gt;my ex, footballer Scott Sinclair&lt;/a&gt; – lives 200 miles away so the bulk of the care is on me.&lt;/p&gt;
  15479.  
  15480.  
  15481.  
  15482. &lt;p&gt;I do all the school runs, the ferrying to and from clubs, the breakfasts, dinners, baths and bedtimes and I have to fit my work around those responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;
  15483.  
  15484.  
  15485.  
  15486. &lt;p&gt;Heaven forbid that as a busy working mum, I should have the audacity to take a couple of days to myself.&lt;/p&gt;
  15487.  
  15488.  
  15489.  
  15490. &lt;p&gt;Women can’t win. Whether we give our kids dummies, whether we breast or bottlefeed, whether we’ve gained too much weight during pregnancy or lost it too quickly afterwards, whether we choose to be a working or stay-at-home mum – whatever it is, we’re wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  15491.

  15499.  
  15500.  
  15501.  
  15502. &lt;p&gt;It’s hard enough being female in a world which is set up for men and so the fact that most of these online onslaughts are coming from women is both heartbreaking and infuriating.&lt;/p&gt;
  15503.  
  15504.  
  15505.  
  15506. &lt;p&gt;We should be on the same side, not tearing each other down. We need to lift each other up and be supportive of one another because god knows the men aren’t going to do that for us.&lt;/p&gt;
  15507.  
  15508.  
  15509.  
  15510. &lt;p&gt;I’m sure a lot of it stems from jealousy. Molly-Mae is a beautiful, young, successful woman with what appears to be a lovely life and there are certain people out there who can’t bear to see that.&lt;/p&gt;
  15511.  
  15512.  
  15513.  
  15514. &lt;p&gt;Part of me understands it. So much of what we’re served up on social media shows perfect, glossy lives which simply don’t reflect the reality for most people.&lt;/p&gt;
  15515.  
  15516.  
  15517.  
  15518. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;SHAMING SANCTIMUMMIES &lt;/h2&gt;
  15519.  
  15520.  
  15521.  
  15522. &lt;p&gt;Those yummy mummy accounts where everything is flawless don’t do me any favours mentally – not because I’m jealous, but because, to be honest, I see happy families and wish I could have given my&lt;br&gt;children the same.&lt;/p&gt;
  15523.  
  15524.  
  15525.  
  15526. &lt;p&gt;However, I’d never in a million years post a vicious comment in response. Instead, I scroll past or quietly mute those accounts.&lt;/p&gt;
  15527.  
  15528.  
  15529.  
  15530. &lt;p&gt;Because I’ve been in the public eye for so long – &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34660908/helen-flanagan-coronation-street-future/&quot;&gt;I started on Coronation Street when I was nine&lt;/a&gt; – a lot of the trolling is water off a duck’s back now.&lt;/p&gt;
  15531.  
  15532.  
  15533.  
  15534. &lt;p&gt;I can make light of it which, for me, is the best way of dealing with it. &lt;/p&gt;
  15535.  
  15536.  
  15537.  
  15538. &lt;p&gt;I refuse to let the Sanctimummies shame me or dictate what I post just because they shout the loudest.&lt;/p&gt;
  15539.  
  15540.  
  15541.  
  15542. &lt;p&gt;Having said all this, the sisterhood is by no means dead.&lt;/p&gt;
  15543.  
  15544.  
  15545.  
  15546. &lt;p&gt;Just recently I posted a reel about the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/36378594/helen-flanagan-praised-calm-down-son-charlie-bedtime/&quot;&gt;challenges of getting my youngest, four-year-old Charlie, to bed at night.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15547.

  15553.  
  15554. &lt;p&gt;Although there were plenty of comments labelling him a “naughty little boy” and lecturing me to be stricter with him, I had so many more showing solidarity, thanking me for posting relatable content and telling me I was doing a good job.&lt;/p&gt;
  15555.  
  15556.  
  15557.  
  15558. &lt;p&gt;All those gorgeous comments came from women – so, for every woman intent on spewing hatred, there are countless more posting positive support.&lt;/p&gt;
  15559.  
  15560.  
  15561.

  15593. &lt;p&gt;WE all know trends come back around, and this time, it&amp;#8217;s the 80s that has us in a chokehold.&lt;/p&gt;
  15594.  
  15595.  
  15596.  
  15597. &lt;p&gt;The catwalks were filled with&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36898694/eighties-fashion-trend-autumn-del-boy/&quot;&gt; power suits and bulky leather jackets&lt;/a&gt;, and now high street stores and even supermarkets have quickly caught up on the trend too.&lt;/p&gt;

  15606.  
  15607.  
  15608.  
  15609. &lt;p&gt;Asda is selling a &lt;a href=&quot;https://direct.asda.com/george/women/coats-jackets/burgundy-faux-leather-oversized-cropped-jacket/GEM1300655,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C6&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Burgundy Faux Leather Oversized Cropped Jacket &lt;/a&gt;that has cool-girls and fashion editors in a frenzy.&lt;/p&gt;
  15610.  
  15611.  
  15612.

  15614.  
  15615.  
  15616.  
  15617. &lt;p&gt;Sarah Templeman, known as Hodge to SheerLuxe&amp;#8217;s legion of fans, took to their podcast to show off the find.&lt;/p&gt;
  15618.  
  15619.  
  15620.  
  15621. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I bought the most amazing coat last week, and people keep asking me where it&amp;#8217;s from, and it was £38,&amp;#8221; she explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  15622.  
  15623.  
  15624.  
  15625. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Burgundy jacket. £38 from George, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asda/&quot;&gt;Asda&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15626.  
  15627.  
  15628.  
  15629. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve worn it like four days in a row. It just seems to go with everything.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15630.  
  15631.  
  15632.  
  15633. &lt;p&gt;The incredible jacket ticks all the boxes when it comes to the 80s trend this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/winter/&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15634.  
  15635.  
  15636.  
  15637. &lt;p&gt;Oversized with a funnel neck, cuffed sleeves and front pockets, the jacket is giving Del Boy in all the right ways.&lt;/p&gt;
  15638.  
  15639.  
  15640.  
  15641. &lt;p&gt;And it seems fashion fans agree as the jacket has already sold out online.&lt;/p&gt;
  15642.  
  15643.  
  15644.  
  15645. &lt;p&gt;While you might be disappointed at the fact you can&amp;#8217;t buy it online, we&amp;#8217;ve done the work of finding out which stores still have it in stock if you do want to hunt it down.&lt;/p&gt;

  15738. &lt;p&gt;Take a whizz round the aisles in Asda it is hard not to notice how good the George at Asda clothing range is at the minute.&lt;br /&gt;Add into the mix their recent collaboration with fashion designer Roksanda, celebrating 40 years of London Fashion Week, which is full of the designer&amp;#8217;s signature colour blocking dresses, oversized Borg fleeces and bold stripe co-ords, it is easy to see why the brand is on fire! &lt;/p&gt;
  15739. &lt;p&gt;All proceeds from the range go to The British Fashion Council to help promote young designers, so a win win!&lt;br /&gt;There also seems to be a return to quality in the clothing range. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#8216;Style Stories&amp;#8217; with fashion influencer Erica Davies is a capsule collection of Autumn must-haves which delivered not only on style, but on great pocket friendly prices starting from £7. &lt;/p&gt;
  15740. &lt;p&gt;Gorgeous quilted jackets, slogan sweats and a chocolate faux sheepskin flying jacket are among my faves.&lt;br /&gt;Plus, George at Asda has just been crowned with the Best Kidswear in our Fabulous Fashion awards voted for by the Fabulous readers. &lt;br /&gt;Click to buy enables you to shop the whole range online or you can just have a browse while you do the weekly shop. &lt;br /&gt;You are welcome!&lt;/p&gt;

  15812. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s just an average day for the 48-year-old, from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;, who spends his days painting the faces of some of the biggest stars &amp;#8211; including Spice Girl &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mel-b/&quot;&gt;Mel B&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alison-hammond/&quot;&gt;Alison Hammond&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/olivia-attwood/&quot;&gt;Olivia Attwood&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  15821.  
  15822.  
  15823.  
  15824. &lt;p&gt;Now, makeup whizz Mikey Phillips, who has been working in the industry for over 20 years, has spilled the beans on his famous clientele &amp;#8211; from the setting powder faux pas which left him &amp;#8220;scarred to this day&amp;#8221; to the bargain buy he couldn&amp;#8217;t live without.  &lt;/p&gt;
  15825.  
  15826.  
  15827.  
  15828. &lt;p&gt;Plus, he tells Fabulous exactly how he achieved &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alison-hammond/&quot;&gt;Alison Hammond&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s incredible glow up &amp;#8211; and we&amp;#8217;re talking 7 different foundations. &lt;/p&gt;
  15829.  
  15830.  
  15831.  
  15832. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to Fabulous, he says: &amp;#8220;There isn&amp;#8217;t a normal day &amp;#8211; it could be a crazy day, it could be 3am, 5am, I think every day it&amp;#8217;s totally different which is the thing I love the most.&lt;/p&gt;
  15833.  
  15834.  
  15835.  
  15836. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I would&amp;#8217;ve packed the kit the night before depending on who I&amp;#8217;m working with, and my longstanding girls all have their own special kit bags.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15837.  
  15838.  
  15839.  
  15840. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The bags are their own products so it&amp;#8217;ll say &amp;#8216;Alison&amp;#8217; or &amp;#8216;Olivia&amp;#8217; on the front and it&amp;#8217;ll contain makeup I&amp;#8217;ll use just on those people so they feel special.&lt;/p&gt;
  15841.  
  15842.  
  15843.  
  15844. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s their own favourite things &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp;it&amp;#8217;s easier to pack because it&amp;#8217;s things I&amp;#8217;ve used on them that they love.&lt;/p&gt;
  15845.  
  15846.  
  15847.  
  15848. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then I&amp;#8217;ll travel to a studio or hotel, set up and the glam will begin.&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15849.  
  15850.  
  15851.  
  15852. &lt;p&gt;While Mikey has worked with endless famous faces, he says one celeb who &amp;#8220;couldn&amp;#8217;t be more chilled out&amp;#8221; is Alison Hammond, who he&amp;#8217;s dubbed his &amp;#8220;absolute dream client.&lt;/p&gt;

  15870.  
  15871.  
  15872.  
  15873. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My mum had type 2 diabetes and she was worried for me. So when I then found out that I was pre-diabetic, that was frightening,&amp;#8221; Alison told &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Good Housekeeping (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/lifestyle/a63067767/alison-hammond-january-cover/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Good Housekeeping&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15874.  
  15875.  
  15876.  
  15877. &lt;p&gt;After working out with a personal trainer twice a week and cutting back on sweets and fatty foods, she managed to shed a whopping 11 stone and reverse her pre-diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;
  15878.  
  15879.  
  15880.  
  15881. &lt;p&gt;And while the bubbly personality has revealsed she&amp;#8217;s never turned to weight loss injections, she admits she doesn&amp;#8217;t judge anyone who chooses that route.&lt;/p&gt;

  15898.  
  15899.  
  15900.  
  15901. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think that, for people who need to use them, they’re a good thing,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;But for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened. &lt;/p&gt;
  15902.  
  15903.  
  15904.  
  15905. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I haven’t wanted to use them, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t in the future, and I certainly wouldn’t look down on anyone who did.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15906.  
  15907.  
  15908.  
  15909. &lt;p&gt;According to Mikey, Alison&amp;#8217;s transformation is something which she&amp;#8217;s aware of and credits to her glam team.&lt;/p&gt;
  15910.  
  15911.  
  15912.  
  15913. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She was so known for looking a certain way and when I first did her makeup she was basically in shock because it was so different to how she looked,&amp;#8221; says Mikey, who has been working with her for over 10 years. &lt;/p&gt;
  15914.  
  15915.  
  15916.  
  15917. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We laugh because we know the first time we met. I&amp;#8217;d been booked on a job, she turned up camera&amp;nbsp;ready and I said, &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;m supposed to do your makeup.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  15918.  
  15919.  
  15920.  
  15921. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She told me to just go over the top but I insisted that she needed to take it off.&lt;/p&gt;
  15922.  
  15923.  
  15924.  
  15925. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She couldn&amp;#8217;t believe I&amp;#8217;d made her take her makeup off and then she couldn&amp;#8217;t believe the change in the makeup and how different she looked after &amp;#8211; that&amp;#8217;s been a massive part of Alison&amp;#8217;s story now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15926.  
  15927.  
  15928.  
  15929. &lt;p&gt;He adds: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re fully away of her glow up and she&amp;#8217;s constantly praising her regular glam team.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15930.  
  15931.  
  15932.  
  15933. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s what I do for my clients &amp;#8211; I transform them, I don&amp;#8217;t just do their makeup so they look the same as they&amp;#8217;ve always looked.&lt;/p&gt;
  15934.

  15946. &lt;div&gt;
  15947. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOUNDATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15948. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I could never use one found&amp;#8230;I never use one on anyone,&amp;#8221; he says. &amp;#8220;I love Lancôme, I&amp;#8217;ll mix that with Huda, the Charlotte Tilbury&amp;nbsp;Hollywood filter underneath it all &amp;#8211; and then it&amp;#8217;s the different shades.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15949. &lt;p&gt;He goes on to say that an American actress introduced him to an &amp;#8220;amazing foundation&amp;#8221; called Black Opal.&lt;/p&gt;
  15950. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s so cheap,&amp;#8221; he says. &amp;#8220;I think you can only get it on Amazon and certain shops here but that stick has changed the game. &lt;/p&gt;
  15951. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;d use it as a bit of extra coverage for Alison too and I&amp;#8217;d use a different shade for under the eyes &amp;#8211; brightening and highlighting.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15952. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COLOUR CORRECTOR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15953. &lt;p&gt;Mikey goes on to express the importance of a colour corrector &amp;#8211; something which he says a lot of people miss out of their makeup routine.&lt;/p&gt;
  15954. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you don&amp;#8217;t correct the discolouration or pigmentation first, you can get the ashy grey look to your skin &amp;#8211; that&amp;#8217;s made a huge difference for Alison,&amp;#8221; he explains.&lt;/p&gt;
  15955. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m going to use her words&amp;#8230;she said the other day she loves how I do her skin &amp;#8216;matte but it&amp;#8217;s also glossy.&amp;#8217; &lt;/p&gt;
  15956. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She said, &amp;#8216;I think that&amp;#8217;s quite tricky, when other people have done it it&amp;#8217;s always been very matt.&amp;#8217; I think her skin looks great.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15957. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SETTING SPRAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15958. &lt;p&gt;Mikey admits the pair also love a setting spray, but can&amp;#8217;t have just one &amp;#8211; they have three, each of which does different things.&lt;/p&gt;
  15959. &lt;p&gt;Rummaging through Alison&amp;#8217;s makeup kit bag, he says: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve got Huda Easy Bake &amp;#8211; say you&amp;#8217;ve got lines on the face that aren&amp;#8217;t seamless like the blusher or concealer. This melts the makeup together.&lt;/p&gt;
  15960. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then I&amp;#8217;d go in with the &amp;#8216;One/Size On &amp;#8216;Til Dawn Mattifying spray&amp;#8217; -obsessed with this!&lt;/p&gt;
  15961. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then I&amp;#8217;d go in with the industrial spray that everyone hates the smell of &amp;#8211; the Kryolan.&lt;/p&gt;
  15962. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is what RuPaul uses and loads of drag queens use &amp;#8211; it&amp;#8217;s a professional spray from a makeup store but it&amp;#8217;s like a hairspray for your face. Nothing is coming off!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15963. &lt;p&gt;He adds: &amp;#8220;There&amp;#8217;s a big misconception with setting sprays &amp;#8211; many will say that it&amp;#8217;s c**p and that it doesn&amp;#8217;t do anything but it depends&amp;nbsp;what you want the setting spray to do.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15964. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BARGAIN BUY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15965. &lt;p&gt;As for bargain products, Mikey says he&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;obsessed&amp;#8221; with Weleda Skin Food. &lt;/p&gt;
  15966. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s amazing!&amp;#8221; he enthuses. &amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;ve just brought out a light version for anyone&amp;nbsp;that thinks it&amp;#8217;s too heavy.&lt;/p&gt;
  15967. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s amazing under makeup &amp;#8211; I think it&amp;#8217;s about £10 but makes the skin look amazing &amp;#8211; I use that on Alison quite a lot.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15968. &lt;/div&gt;
  15969. &lt;/div&gt;
  15970. &lt;/div&gt;
  15972.  
  15973.  
  15974.  
  15975. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With Alison we all know she&amp;#8217;s hysterical but she&amp;#8217;s also absolutely stunning and that&amp;#8217;s what I saw when I met her &amp;#8211; you can be funny and sexy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15976.  
  15977.  
  15978.  
  15979. &lt;p&gt;Mikey also reveals that Alison is a part of a secret &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/whatsapp/&quot;&gt;WhatsApp&lt;/a&gt; chat between celebs. &lt;/p&gt;
  15980.  
  15981.  
  15982.  
  15983. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I feel really proud of the Alison glow up,&amp;#8221; he continues. &amp;#8220;There&amp;#8217;s a group chat with all of the celebs in and they all discuss glam teams and looks and who is using who and she&amp;#8217;s constantly in that group.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15984.  
  15985.  
  15986.  
  15987. &lt;p&gt;So how exactly does Mikey achieve Alison&amp;#8217;s glam new look?&lt;/p&gt;
  15988.  
  15989.

  15991. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a very finely honed look now,&amp;#8221; he explains. &amp;#8220;We realised with Alison when you get the signature look, if it ain&amp;#8217;t broke, don&amp;#8217;t fix it &amp;#8211; adapt it slightly.&lt;/p&gt;
  15992.  
  15993.  
  15994.  
  15995. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I might do a darker eye or a glittery eye but she&amp;#8217;s got the &amp;#8216;Alison&amp;#8217; look now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15996.  
  15997.  
  15998.  
  15999. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I swear I mix 7 foundations. I want the texture, I want the colour, I want the longevity.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16000.  
  16001.  
  16002.  
  16003. &lt;p&gt;But while it may seem all glitz and glam on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, Mikey, who was an unemployed actor when he found himself working on the Bobbi Brown counter, says that&amp;#8217;s far from the truth.&lt;/p&gt;
  16004.  
  16005.  
  16006.  
  16007. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is no glam,&amp;#8221; he laughs.&lt;/p&gt;
  16008.  
  16009.  
  16010.  
  16011. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ll give you a recent&amp;nbsp;example &amp;#8211; last weekend we were filming a new show with Alison Hammond called &amp;#8216;Your Song.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  16012.  
  16013.  
  16014.  
  16015. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;d done the glam &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hair/&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/a&gt; and makeup was done, styling was done &amp;#8211; we go outside and it was biblical rain conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
  16016.  
  16017.  
  16018.  
  16019. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We were lucky enough to have an umbrella but even with the umbrella I said the lines, &amp;#8216;be a makeup artist they said, it&amp;#8217;ll be glamorous they said!&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  16020.  
  16021.  
  16022.  
  16023. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was a living hell! Makeup and water don&amp;#8217;t go so you can just imagine!&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16024.  
  16025.  
  16026.  
  16027. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  16028. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  16029. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  16030. &lt;p&gt;Amy Childs had sent me a screenshot and she had two massive triangles under the eyes! It&amp;#8217;s the worst nightmare that has scarred me to this day&lt;/p&gt;
  16031. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  16035. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  16037.  
  16038.  
  16039.  
  16040. &lt;p&gt;He adds: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve done makeup in a moving car, a&amp;nbsp;toilet, on the street, in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/starbucks/&quot;&gt;Starbucks&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; you just make it work.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16041.  
  16042.  
  16043.  
  16044. &lt;p&gt;While Mikey only got Alison ready for the NTAs this year, in previous years he&amp;#8217;s had to squeeze in up to six celebs &amp;#8211; something which he recalls as being &amp;#8220;absolute hell.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16045.  
  16046.  
  16047.  
  16048. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remember being in that InterContinental hotel next to the 02 running between rooms,&amp;#8221; he says.&lt;/p&gt;
  16049.  
  16050.  
  16051.  
  16052. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remember leaving &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jacqueline-jossa/&quot;&gt;Jacqueline Jossa&lt;/a&gt; in a lift doing final touch ups before running off to someone else. &lt;/p&gt;
  16053.  
  16054.  
  16055.  
  16056. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I swore I&amp;#8217;d never do it again&amp;#8230;and I did. I love a challenge. I almost thrive on the stress.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16057.  
  16058.  
  16059.  
  16060. &lt;p&gt;Mikey says there was a time when so many people were asking and he hated saying no, so he kept agreeing to more clients.&lt;/p&gt;
  16061.  
  16062.  
  16063.  
  16064. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was quite flattering but it&amp;#8217;s so stressful because you&amp;#8217;re giving yourself an hour and a half max for each girl,&amp;#8221; he explains.&lt;/p&gt;
  16065.  
  16066.  
  16067.  
  16068. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There was a time when I was doing two or three but they&amp;#8217;d share a room to make it easier for me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16069.  
  16070.  
  16071.  
  16072. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It got to the point that my girls would book me a year in advance.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16073.  
  16074.  
  16075.  
  16076. &lt;p&gt;But while there&amp;#8217;s obviously a reason skillful Mikey is so in demand, there&amp;#8217;s one makeup faux pas that he hasn&amp;#8217;t lived down. &lt;/p&gt;
  16077.  
  16078.  
  16079.  
  16080. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One that I&amp;#8217;m absolutely scarred by to this day is Amy Childs,&amp;#8221; he recalls.&lt;/p&gt;
  16081.  
  16082.  
  16083.  
  16084. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was working with her for ages and this one day I made the mistake of changing the setting powder.&lt;/p&gt;
  16085.  
  16086.  
  16087.  
  16088. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  16096. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  16098.  
  16099.  
  16100.  
  16101. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In real life I was like, &amp;#8216;gosh, she looks unbelievable!&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  16102.  
  16103.  
  16104.  
  16105. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remember going to the event with her, we&amp;#8217;d taken some pictures on the phone and I thought, &amp;#8216;oh it does look a bit bright&amp;#8217; but assumed it was probably just a strange photo.&lt;/p&gt;
  16106.  
  16107.  
  16108.  
  16109. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I woke up the next day and my phone&amp;nbsp;had been blowing off the hook!&lt;/p&gt;
  16110.  
  16111.  
  16112.  
  16113. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Amy had sent me a screenshot and she had two massive triangles under the eyes! It&amp;#8217;s the worst nightmare that has scarred me to this day.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16114.  
  16115.  
  16116.  
  16117. &lt;p&gt;While Amy took the makeup faux pas extremely well, Mikey wasn&amp;#8217;t best pleased.&lt;/p&gt;
  16118.  
  16119.  
  16120.  
  16121. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I went crazy at the brand because it contains a certain ingredient that causes flashback so I was asking them why they&amp;#8217;d put that in a setting powder,&amp;#8221; he says.&lt;/p&gt;
  16122.  
  16123.  
  16124.  
  16125. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I apologised to Amy and refunded her fee because I felt so bad!&lt;/p&gt;
  16126.  
  16127.  
  16128.  
  16129. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I continued to work with her after and I still speak to her now so all is forgiven! But I will never use nothing less than Laura Mercier in my life for that reason ever &amp;#8211; it&amp;#8217;s scarred me for life.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  16146.  
  16147.  
  16148.  
  16149. &lt;p&gt;Mikey goes on to recall another horror makeup experience that he&amp;#8217;d rather forget &amp;#8211; although refuses to share names.&lt;/p&gt;
  16150.  
  16151.  
  16152.  
  16153. &lt;p&gt;Noting that it was a &amp;#8220;royal correspondent&amp;#8221; and that he was &amp;#8220;swayed by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;#8221; he says: &amp;#8220;I was doing the job, it was absolutely horrific and in the end I said to her, &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;m going to leave you with the stuff. I think you need to do it yourself.'&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16154.  
  16155.  
  16156.  
  16157. &lt;p&gt;He continues: &amp;#8220;We don&amp;#8217;t really sit them in front of a mirror but we have a big reveal at the end. &lt;/p&gt;
  16158.  
  16159.  
  16160.  
  16161. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m used to &amp;#8216;omg I&amp;#8217;m obsessed, amazing&amp;#8217; whereas she looked in the mirror and said, &amp;#8216;omg I hate it!&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  16162.  
  16163.  
  16164.  
  16165. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One of the things she picked up on, she said: &amp;#8216;You&amp;#8217;ve given me really modern eyebrows!&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  16166.  
  16167.  
  16168.  
  16169. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I died inside! Some people want to do their own makeup and those clients are no good for me.&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
  16170.  
  16171.  
  16172.  
  16173. &lt;p&gt;While it may appear all friendly in front of the cameras, Mikey reveals that there can be a certain level of jealousy amongst the celebs when he&amp;#8217;s painting their faces. &lt;/p&gt;
  16174.  
  16175.  
  16176.  
  16177. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There can be instances where a celeb won&amp;#8217;t want you to work with someone else because they&amp;#8217;re working with you &amp;#8211; that&amp;#8217;s definitely&amp;nbsp;a thing,&amp;#8221; he explains.&lt;/p&gt;
  16178.  
  16179.  
  16180.  
  16181. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think maybe they might think you&amp;#8217;ll make someone look like them. If it&amp;#8217;s a similar&amp;nbsp;glam team I kind of get it. &lt;/p&gt;
  16182.  
  16183.  
  16184.  
  16185. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You can be either competitive about it and it&amp;#8217;s such a massive thing and it&amp;#8217;s meticulously planned or the celebs can go the other way and are really chilled and go with the flow.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16186.  
  16187.

  16198.  
  16199.  
  16200.  
  16201. &lt;p&gt;Mikey has also had the pleasure of doing Spice Girl Mel B&amp;#8217;s makeup and admits he finds it &amp;#8220;really weird&amp;#8221; working with people he&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;idolised.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  16202.  
  16203.  
  16204.  
  16205. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I had an absolutely insane time in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/colorado/&quot;&gt;Colorado&lt;/a&gt; for three weeks with Mel B &amp;#8211; can you imagine?&amp;#8221; he recalls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16206.  
  16207.  
  16208.  
  16209. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I lived with her because we basically shared a chalet in the mountains.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16210.  
  16211.  
  16212.  
  16213. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remember&amp;nbsp;looking up one day when I&amp;#8217;d done her laundry and all her underwear and everything was leopard print.&lt;/p&gt;
  16214.  
  16215.  
  16216.  
  16217. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve slept over her house too. It&amp;#8217;s never dull! That&amp;#8217;s when you&amp;#8217;re like, I&amp;#8217;m working with a superstar icon. So much fun!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16218.  
  16219.  
  16220.  
  16221. &lt;p&gt;As for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity/&quot;&gt;celebrity&lt;/a&gt; who always gets it right, that&amp;#8217;s easy.&lt;/p&gt;
  16222.  
  16223.  
  16224.  
  16225. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Someone who always looks insane is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/maura-higgins/&quot;&gt;Maura Higgins&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;#8221; Mikey says. &amp;#8220;She goes to every single thing as if she&amp;#8217;s A-List and that is hard work so&amp;nbsp;I respect that &amp;#8211; she always looks insane!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16226.  
  16227.

  16229. &lt;p&gt;And according to the makeup whizz, there&amp;#8217;s one current trend doing the round that should be avoided at all costs. &lt;/p&gt;
  16230.  
  16231.  
  16232.  
  16233. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Have you seen the trend of people wearing an extremely bright blusher right under the eyes? It&amp;#8217;s all over social media,&amp;#8221; he says.&lt;/p&gt;
  16234.  
  16235.  
  16236.  
  16237. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The blusher is now almost where your concealer would be &amp;#8211; it&amp;#8217;s a real trend, it&amp;#8217;s really taken off!&lt;/p&gt;
  16238.  
  16239.  
  16240.  
  16241. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But I would never do that and in real life girls would never do that either. It&amp;#8217;s fine on a photoshoot but not for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/red-carpet/&quot;&gt;red carpet&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  16283. &lt;p&gt;A WOMAN who begged surgeons for a facelift at 34 has revealed the shocking mess they found during the operation.&lt;/p&gt;
  16284.  
  16285.  
  16286.  
  16287. &lt;p&gt;Entrepreneur and influencer Ashley Stobart first broached the idea of having the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cosmetic-surgery/&quot;&gt;cosmetic surgery&lt;/a&gt; aged 30, but couldn&amp;#8217;t find anyone who would do it.&lt;/p&gt;

  16304.  
  16305.  
  16306.  
  16307. &lt;p&gt;She eventually did, and underwent the op four years later, when it cost her a whopping £34,000. &lt;/p&gt;
  16308.  
  16309.  
  16310.  
  16311. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;People at the time were like, she&amp;#8217;s crazy. Now everyone&amp;#8217;s talking about facelifts!&amp;#8221; she laughed during &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@inthemakeupchair/video/7557060536173661462&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;an episode of the In the Make-up Chair podcast.  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;an episode of the In the Make-up Chair podcast. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16312.  
  16313.  
  16314.  
  16315. &lt;p&gt;But opening up about the surgery, which took nine and a half hours, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot;&gt;Ashley&lt;/a&gt;, now 35, admitted she was completely unaware of the lasting effect her filler habit had had over the years until she had the facelift.&lt;/p&gt;
  16316.  
  16317.  
  16318.  
  16319. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He (the surgeon) was picking filler (out of my face),&amp;#8221; she said. &lt;/p&gt;
  16320.  
  16321.  
  16322.  
  16323. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My husband kept ringing up and being like, is she okay? And they were like, we just can&amp;#8217;t get all this s**t off.&lt;/p&gt;
  16324.  
  16325.  
  16326.  
  16327. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was just like green balls of puss that had got like infected.&lt;/p&gt;
  16328.  
  16329.  
  16330.  
  16331. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s scary because over time, like all these little bits of filler, you don&amp;#8217;t think add up to you actually having a face kind of full of filler.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16332.  
  16333.  
  16334.  
  16335. &lt;p&gt;In fact, Ashley went as far as saying she&amp;#8217;d &amp;#8220;abused&amp;#8221; her face by having so much filler over the years, as it had ended up stretching her skin so dramatically &amp;#8211; with the surgeon removing a staggering four inches of skin from each side of her face. &lt;/p&gt;
  16336.  
  16337.  
  16338.  
  16339. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Honestly, from years of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/had-our-fill/&quot;&gt;filling&lt;/a&gt;, dissolving, filling, dissolving, treating, the new s***, all this, I just had lost definition in my face,&amp;#8221; she explained previously.&lt;/p&gt;
  16340.  
  16341.  
  16342.  
  16343. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;I didn&amp;#8217;t look like me anymore because I&amp;#8217;d been filled up, put back in.&lt;/p&gt;

  16367. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Obviously, I was pregnant a number of times in a short period of time.&lt;/p&gt;
  16368.  
  16369.  
  16370.  
  16371. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;And when you have got fillers and you&amp;#8217;re&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pregnancy-childbirth/&quot;&gt;pregnant&lt;/a&gt;, fillers hold on to water.&lt;/p&gt;
  16372.  
  16373.  
  16374.  
  16375. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;So my face was like… massive. And then I had this double chin, which was not a good look.&lt;/p&gt;
  16376.  
  16377.  
  16378.  
  16379. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;So yeah, I just was like, I need a facelift and I went and had one.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16380.  
  16381.  
  16382.  
  16383. &lt;p&gt;The decision to have the operation at such a young age has seen Ashley face cruel comments from trolls. &lt;/p&gt;
  16384.  
  16385.  
  16386.  
  16387. &lt;p&gt;But she previously said she does her best not to let the criticism get to her.&lt;/p&gt;

  16394. &lt;/div&gt;
  16395. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  16397. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16398. IT&amp;#039;S important to do your research if you&amp;#039;re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. &lt;/p&gt;
  16400. &lt;div&gt;
  16401. &lt;p&gt;It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the&amp;nbsp;potential risks. &lt;/p&gt;
  16402. &lt;p&gt;Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.&lt;/p&gt;
  16403. &lt;p&gt;No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.&lt;/p&gt;
  16404. &lt;p&gt;If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  16405. &lt;p&gt;Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  16406. &lt;p&gt;Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.&lt;/p&gt;
  16407. &lt;p&gt;Source: NHS &lt;/p&gt;
  16408. &lt;/div&gt;
  16409. &lt;/div&gt;
  16410. &lt;/div&gt;
  16412.  
  16413.  
  16414.  
  16415. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8216;It&amp;#8217;s my money, so I decided to go and be very well-informed on my decision and do it very safely,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16416.  
  16417.  
  16418.  
  16419. &lt;p&gt;Before adding of the trolling: &amp;#8220;It just needs to stop &amp;#8211; all this taking the p*ss out of women!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  16444. &lt;p&gt;A MUM has revealed she &amp;#8216;refuses&amp;#8217; her three kids to go to mainstream school &amp;#8211; and instead will be home-educating them.&lt;/p&gt;

  16460. &lt;p&gt;In her opinion, kids across the country &amp;#8221;are being failed&amp;#8221; and the current structure is &amp;#8221;suppressing our children of there true potential&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16461.

  16464. &lt;p&gt;The parent-of-three also claimed the UK schools were also under &amp;#8221;threats&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; although the TikToker never elaborated on what she meant by the statement.&lt;/p&gt;

  16470.  
  16471.  
  16472. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Right now, we live in an average UK house &amp;#8211; but we&amp;#8217;re gonna make it work&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16473.  
  16474.  
  16475.  
  16476. &lt;p&gt;The parent also proudly showed off the at-home &amp;#8221;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35523657/gifts-teachers-really-want-gift-cards-free-item/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;classroom&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; where she will be teaching her three kids, which had previously been the children&amp;#8217;s bedroom.&lt;/p&gt;
  16477.  
  16478.  
  16479.  
  16480. &lt;p&gt;The makeover included the world map attached to the wall, as well as number matrix, toys and more.&lt;/p&gt;
  16481.  
  16482.  
  16483.  
  16484. &lt;p&gt;Despite not following a set curriculum, the mother felt confident her &amp;#8221;children will still be able to pass their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36378817/gcses-results-grades-today-entries/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;GCSEs&lt;/a&gt; because the exams are based on subject knowledge and understanding, not on whether someone followed a specific programme&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  16485.  
  16486.  
  16487.  
  16488. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;We focus on mastering each topic in a way that suits their learning style &amp;#8211; using real-world examples, tailored resources, and practice papers to ensure they meet (and often exceed) the required standards.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16489.  
  16490.  
  16491.  
  16492. &lt;p&gt;According to the TikToker, her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36649721/mum-reveals-homeschool-son-reading-writing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;home education&lt;/a&gt; approach will encourage &amp;#8221;genuine understanding, curiosity, and the ability to think critically &amp;#8211; which are exactly the skills exams are designed to measure&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16493.  
  16494.  
  16495.  
  16496. &lt;p&gt;As well as allegedly having a &amp;#8221;huge collection of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36928355/book-advent-calendar-for-kids-teenagers-asda/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;books&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221;, the woman claimed her mum &amp;#8221;is a qualified teacher&amp;#8221; and occasionally conducts some lessons with her kids. &lt;/p&gt;

  16526.  
  16527.  
  16528. &lt;p&gt;Some parents agreed with the approach &amp;#8211; but a large number of people felt as if the mum is &amp;#8221;setting them up for failure&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16529.

  16535. &lt;/div&gt;
  16536. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  16539. &lt;div&gt;
  16540. &lt;p&gt;Almost a third of British parents are considering homeschooling their child, with disruptive behaviour, growing class sizes, and inadequate provision for students with special educational needs among the top concerns about the current education system.&lt;/p&gt;
  16541. &lt;p&gt;A poll of 2,000 British parents revealed over half (55 percent) of parents with school-aged children believe the school environment today is challenging for youngsters.&lt;/p&gt;
  16542. &lt;p&gt;In fact, a similar number (53 percent) claim their child’s school doesn’t cater for their mental health needs, according to the research from online homeschooling provider,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wolseyhalloxford.org.uk/__;!!F0Stn7g!AdM28MeapBv2f94OtdRzDe22tMwG7Ypox8YawV5kz28SXoTQLMsbTxl8ZeK-sOW0oe0m-aGnmQ_ej_XJVnEjAygPn__YbKfkZQ5-VuxbmQ$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Wolsey Hall Oxford.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16543. &lt;p&gt;Worryingly, a further four in ten (38 percent) said their child has felt unsafe at school, while over a quarter (26 percent) said their state&amp;nbsp;school&amp;nbsp;does not have adequate facilities for pupils with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).&lt;/p&gt;
  16544. &lt;p&gt;The study also revealed that more than half of parents (55 percent) believe teaching methods in today’s schools are outdated, citing the expectation for students to sit still and write for long periods, along with a strong focus on memorisation and formal assessments, as old fashioned.&lt;/p&gt;
  16545. &lt;p&gt;As a result, a staggering third (30 percent) have either pulled their children out of&amp;nbsp;school&amp;nbsp;or are seriously considering it &amp;#8211; with bullying (43 percent), mental health concerns (34 percent), and very little one-to-one attention (29 percent) among the top concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
  16546. &lt;p&gt;Classroom disruption (28 percent) and large class sizes (26 percent) are other reasons for considering opting out of the mainstream system.&lt;/p&gt;
  16547. &lt;p&gt;Three quarters of parents (75 percent) say schools&amp;nbsp;are failing to prepare children for real life, with 70 percent believing that the education system should teach youngsters real-life subjects like money management, as well as life skills like communication (56 percent), problem solving (54 percent) and mental health awareness (52 percent).&lt;/p&gt;
  16548. &lt;p&gt;Three quarters (76 percent) would like to see schools offering more flexibility on where and when education is provided, with more than a half (56 percent) seeing value in their child being taught at a time that best suits them, rather than following a fixed timetable.&lt;/p&gt;
  16549. &lt;p&gt;And two thirds (62 percent) say they would consider homeschooling if they knew it was going to give their child the best start in life, with 83 percent believing that changes in working patterns have enabled parents to fit education around working remotely.&lt;/p&gt;
  16550. &lt;p&gt;Gavin McLean, Principal at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wolseyhalloxford.org.uk/__;!!F0Stn7g!AdM28MeapBv2f94OtdRzDe22tMwG7Ypox8YawV5kz28SXoTQLMsbTxl8ZeK-sOW0oe0m-aGnmQ_ej_XJVnEjAygPn__YbKfkZQ5-VuxbmQ$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Wolsey Hall Oxford&lt;/a&gt;, said: “These findings reflect a clear shift in how the parents of today’s school children view the education system, with concerns over behaviour, class sizes, and inadequate provision for students with special educational needs failing to be addressed.&lt;/p&gt;
  16551. &lt;p&gt;“At Wolsey Hall Oxford, we believe learning should be flexible, supportive, and should prepare children for life – not just for exams. As more parents recognise that remote and flexible working patterns make homeschooling a realistic and appealing alternative to the classroom, it’s clear that families are seeking learning that adapts to their lives – not the other way around.&lt;/p&gt;
  16552. &lt;p&gt;“As the world’s longest-established homeschooling provider, and the only online school where families have complete freedom over what, how, where and when their child learns – with no live lessons or set timetables – we’re uniquely placed to support parents to overcome these challenges, offering a truly personalised, world-class education that prioritises wellbeing and nurtures a lifelong love for learning at every stage. ”&lt;/p&gt;
  16553. &lt;/div&gt;
  16554. &lt;/div&gt;
  16555. &lt;/div&gt;
  16557.  
  16558.  
  16559.  
  16560. &lt;p&gt;One person said: &amp;#8221;Only thing you’ll teach them is to claim benefits.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16561.  
  16562.  
  16563.  
  16564. &lt;p&gt;Another chimed in: &amp;#8221;Home educate if you want, it&amp;#8217;s your right. &lt;/p&gt;
  16565.  
  16566.  
  16567.  
  16568. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Fill your boots! Just please don&amp;#8217;t justify it by saying the system is corrupt, 10 million kids are taught by 500,000 teachers, it isn&amp;#8217;t perfect, but it works for the majority.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16569.  
  16570.  
  16571.  
  16572. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Poor children. Setting them up for failure,&amp;#8221; someone else said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16573.  
  16574.  
  16575.  
  16576. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;We are going to have a generation of idiots,&amp;#8221; a fourth was confident.&lt;/p&gt;
  16577.  
  16578.  
  16579.  
  16580. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, some viewers took to comments to hit back at the critics, with one writing: &amp;#8221;&amp;#8217;People’s projections in these comments haha.&lt;/p&gt;
  16581.  
  16582.  
  16583.  
  16584. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;I did so much better academically than my schooled friends, passed all my GCSEs while they all failed, got accepted into a very competitive arts programme, never had any problem getting a job,&amp;#8221; said the viewer, adding that all of their pals &amp;#8221;have also had no trouble&amp;#8221;  finding employment.&lt;/p&gt;
  16585.  
  16586.  
  16587.  
  16588. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;As someone&amp;#8217;s who&amp;#8217;s only just been getting home-schooled. thank you. no one in these comments know you or your child better than YOU do,&amp;#8221; a TikToker said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16589.  
  16590.  
  16591.  
  16592. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Schools actually do such a poor job educating children. it&amp;#8217;s actually just a massive scam,&amp;#8221; a third thought.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  16650.  
  16651.  
  16652.  
  16653. &lt;p&gt;She was hauled into the Diary Room where she was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36939346/big-brother-caroline-monk-formal-warning-offensive-comment/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;given a formal warning for her comments&lt;/a&gt; and behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  16654.  
  16655.  
  16656.  
  16657. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36861842/big-brother-caroline-monk-this-morning-matthew-wright/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Caroline&lt;/a&gt; was informed that any further instance of such language could result in her removal from the house.&lt;/p&gt;
  16658.  
  16659.  
  16660.  
  16661. &lt;p&gt;However, some viewers have already insisted that she should be REMOVED from the house completely due to her despicable comments in which she said to openly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/trans-and-gender-identity-issues/page/7/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;trans&lt;/a&gt; man Zelah in front of the rest of the group: &amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s a girl!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16662.  
  16663.  
  16664.  
  16665. &lt;p&gt;One viewer said online after the incident played out: &amp;#8220;A formal warning? That’s absolutely ridiculous. &lt;/p&gt;
  16666.  
  16667.  
  16668.  
  16669. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36891005/big-brother-star-reveals-secret-link-nigel-farage-heated/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Caroline&lt;/a&gt; soooo should’ve been booted out of @bbuk for her comments.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16670.  
  16671.  
  16672.  
  16673. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Me watching &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/big-brother/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;big brother&lt;/a&gt; give Caroline a formal warning for being openly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6669897/transgender-transsexual-binary-gender-identity/&quot;&gt;transphobic&lt;/a&gt; instead of evicting her immediately.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16674.  
  16675.  
  16676.  
  16677. &lt;p&gt;As a third said of the star: &amp;#8220;Caroline is a nasty piece of work. It only took one drink for her to show her true colours.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16678.  
  16679.  
  16680.  
  16681. &lt;p&gt;With a fourth adding: &amp;#8220;I need them to stop excusing Caroline’s words she’s a grown ass woman.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16682.  
  16683.

  16685. &lt;p&gt;Caroline was given a formal warning for the remarks which came about when she asked &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/3488025/pansexual-meaning/&quot;&gt;pansexual&lt;/a&gt; housemate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36861645/nancy-big-brother-contestant/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nancy&lt;/a&gt; who she would most like to &lt;span id=&quot;4cf20f40-4b72-4718-87c4-62e662341a7f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;sleep&lt;/span&gt; with.&lt;/p&gt;
  16686.  
  16687.  
  16688.  
  16689. &lt;p&gt;She then appeared to suggest her reasoning for asking the question was to see who she would start a new civilisation with if she was stranded on a desert island.&lt;/p&gt;
  16690.  
  16691.  
  16692.  
  16693. &lt;p&gt;When Nancy picked Zelah, Caroline shot back with: &amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s a girl!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16694.  
  16695.  
  16696.  
  16697. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to her the &lt;span id=&quot;33d6215f-8190-4bdc-83fc-9e1ae9d239be&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; day in the Diary Room, Big Brother said: “Yesterday at 11:21pm during a game of spin the bottle, you had the following conversations.&lt;/p&gt;

  16720.  
  16721. &lt;p&gt;“Caroline, you said to Nancy ‘If you could sh*g anyone in the House, no no we’re on a desert island and there is one person left, you might be able to make &lt;span id=&quot;f470a7ec-b527-4f3f-812b-b09c58c6579a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;babies&lt;/span&gt; to get a new civilisation, who would you sh*g?’&lt;/p&gt;
  16722.

  16726.  
  16727.  
  16728.  
  16729. &lt;p&gt;“Caroline, you said ‘Is she pansexual? Do you like pans?’&lt;/p&gt;
  16730.  
  16731.  
  16732.  
  16733. &lt;p&gt;“Zelah said ‘Maybe just ask her who she is most attracted to?’”&lt;/p&gt;
  16734.  
  16735.  
  16736.  
  16737. &lt;p&gt;Big Brother went on: “Nancy then answered ‘Zelah’.&lt;/p&gt;
  16738.  
  16739.  
  16740.  
  16741. &lt;p&gt;“Caroline, you said to Zelah ‘She’s a girl. No you’re not.’&lt;/p&gt;

  16744.  
  16745. &lt;p&gt;“Teja shouts, ‘Caroline!’&lt;/p&gt;
  16746.  
  16747.  
  16748.  
  16749. &lt;p&gt;“Caroline, you said ‘But you haven’t got a willy. Is that really bad?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16750.  
  16751.  
  16752.  
  16753. &lt;p&gt;Offering up a judgment, Big Brother said to her: “Caroline, Big Brother thinks that your language in these instances was offensive and unacceptable and cannot permit you to use language in a way that could cause offence to your fellow Housemates and the viewing public.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16754.  
  16755.  
  16756.  
  16757. &lt;p&gt;Then, Caroline told Big Brother that she agreed with this assessment.&lt;/p&gt;

  16777. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Emily&lt;/strong&gt;, 25, a political events manager from Northampton (&lt;strong&gt;evicted&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
  16778. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marcus&lt;/strong&gt;, 22, a mechanical engineer from Manchester.&lt;/li&gt;

  16838. &lt;p&gt;KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV has poked fun at Conor McGregor&amp;#8217;s 18-month UFC ban and reignited their bitter feud. &lt;/p&gt;
  16839.  
  16840.  
  16841.  
  16842. &lt;p&gt;Nurmagomedov beat McGregor with a fourth-round submission in 2018 &amp;#8211; in what proved to be the biggest fight in UFC history. &lt;/p&gt;
  16843.

  16847.  
  16848.  
  16849.  
  16850. &lt;p&gt;He retired in 2020 &amp;#8211; just months after the death of his father and mentor Abdulmanap &amp;#8211; meaning a rematch never materialised. &lt;/p&gt;
  16851.  
  16852.  
  16853.  
  16854. &lt;p&gt;But the bad blood between the two former champions has always remained &amp;#8211; and Nurmagomedov took the chance to take a fresh swipe at McGregor. &lt;/p&gt;
  16855.  
  16856.  
  16857.  
  16858. &lt;p&gt;He re-shared the news of McGregor&amp;#8217;s doping violation on Instagram &amp;#8211; spreading the word of the Irishman&amp;#8217;s suspension. &lt;/p&gt;
  16859.  
  16860.  
  16861.  
  16862. &lt;p&gt;McGregor&amp;#8217;s violation comes after failing to inform Combat Sports&amp;nbsp;Anti-Doping&amp;nbsp;(CSAD) &amp;#8211; the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ufc/&quot;&gt;UFC&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s drug testers &amp;#8211; of his whereabouts on three different occasions.&lt;/p&gt;
  16863.  
  16864.  
  16865.  
  16866. &lt;p&gt;That constitutes a violation of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.&lt;/p&gt;
  16867.  
  16868.  
  16869.  
  16870. &lt;p&gt;McGregor missed tests due to occur on June 13, September 19 and September 20 of last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  16871.  
  16872.  
  16873.  
  16874. &lt;p&gt;As a result, he has accepted an 18-month period of ineligibility &amp;#8211; backdated from September 20 &amp;#8211; the date of his third missed test.&lt;/p&gt;
  16875.  
  16876.  
  16877.  
  16878. &lt;p&gt;It means he will be able to return by March 20 of&amp;nbsp;next&amp;nbsp;year &amp;#8211; in time for the UFC&amp;#8217;s planned event at the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/white-house/&quot;&gt;White House&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on June 14 in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

  16883.  
  16884.  
  16885.  
  16886. &lt;p&gt;UFC stars are required to provide their accurate whereabouts at all times &amp;#8211; so they can be subject to random testing.&lt;/p&gt;
  16887.  
  16888.  
  16889.  
  16890. &lt;p&gt;So McGregor falls under the Whereabouts Failures by CSAD under the UFC ADP.&lt;/p&gt;

  16914. &lt;p&gt;The Irishman&amp;nbsp;has not fought since July 2021 &amp;#8211; when he brutally broke his leg against&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dustin-poirier/&quot;&gt;Dustin Poirier&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in their trilogy bout.&lt;/p&gt;
  16915.  
  16916.  
  16917.  
  16918. &lt;p&gt;He was due to return against&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/michael-chandler/&quot;&gt;Michael Chandler&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on June 29, 2024, until he pulled out with a broken toe on June 13.&lt;/p&gt;
  16919.  
  16920.  
  16921.  
  16922. &lt;p&gt;It means his first whereabouts failure came after he withdrew from the fight &amp;#8211; for the very first time in his UFC career.&lt;/p&gt;
  16923.  
  16924.  
  16925.  
  16926. &lt;p&gt;The CSAD noted that McGregor was recovering from an injury &amp;#8211; the broken toe &amp;#8211; and was not preparing for an upcoming fight at the time of the three missed tests.&lt;/p&gt;
  16927.  
  16928.  
  16929.  
  16930. &lt;p&gt;McGregor is said to have &amp;#8220;fully cooperated with CSAD’s&amp;nbsp;investigation, accepted responsibility, and provided detailed information that CSAD determined contributed to the missed tests&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16931.  
  16932.  
  16933.  
  16934. &lt;p&gt;Due to his cooperation and circumstances being taken into account, CSAD reduced the standard 24-month ban for three whereabouts failures by six months.&lt;/p&gt;
  16935.  
  16936.  
  16937.  
  16938. &lt;p&gt;This is McGregor&amp;#8217;s first doping violation of his UFC career.&lt;/p&gt;
  16939.  
  16940.

  16943.  
  16944.  
  16945.  
  16946. &lt;p&gt;He is yet to comment on the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  16947.  
  16948.  
  16949.  
  16950. &lt;p&gt;It comes&amp;nbsp;just after the former two-weight champion revealed he was taking time away from social media &amp;#8211; having pulled out of the Irish presidential election.&lt;/p&gt;
  16951.  
  16952.  
  16953.  
  16954. &lt;p&gt;He posted: &amp;#8220;Hey folks online, I’m out of here for a bit, see you again soon! My love, unwavering! Thank you all.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16955.  
  16956.  
  16957.  
  16958. &lt;p&gt;McGregor &amp;#8211; who recently&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36826945/conor-mcgregor-training-ufc-comeback-white-house-card/&quot;&gt;returned to training after announcing plans to fight at the White House&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; has faced controversy since being out of action. &lt;/p&gt;
  16959.  
  16960.  
  16961.  
  16962. &lt;p&gt;Last December, he was found liable for assault in a civil case against him&amp;nbsp;dating&amp;nbsp;back to 2018.&lt;/p&gt;

  16982. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16983. THE UFC released a statement clarifying the circumstances surrounding McGregor&amp;#039;s ban. It read: &lt;/p&gt;
  16985. &lt;div&gt;
  16986. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Although McGregor failed to make himself available for testing on those dates, CSAD noted that he was recovering from an injury and was not preparing for an upcoming fight at the time of the three missed tests.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16987. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;McGregor fully cooperated with CSAD’s investigation, accepted responsibility, and provided detailed information that CSAD determined contributed to the missed tests.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16988. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Taking McGregor’s cooperation and circumstances into account, CSAD reduced the standard 24-month sanction for three whereabouts failures by six months.&lt;/p&gt;
  16989. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His period of ineligibility began on September 20, 2024 (the date of his third whereabouts failure) and will conclude on March 20, 2026.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16990. &lt;/div&gt;
  16991. &lt;/div&gt;
  16992. &lt;/div&gt;
  16994.  
  16995.  
  16996.  
  16997. &lt;p&gt;He even suggested he could&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;RETIRE&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;during a Bare Knuckle Press Conference in March &amp;#8211; before quickly backtracking on the claim.&lt;/p&gt;
  16998.  
  16999.  
  17000.  
  17001. &lt;p&gt;But McGregor did return to the UFC&amp;#8217;s drug-testing&amp;nbsp;pool&amp;nbsp;in August &amp;#8211; needing six months of clean tests before fighting again.&lt;/p&gt;
  17002.  
  17003.  
  17004.  
  17005. &lt;p&gt;In July, US President&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/donald-trump/&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;first announced plans to host UFC fights on the lawn of the Oval Office &amp;#8211; coinciding with the date of his 80th birthday, June 14th.&lt;/p&gt;
  17006.  
  17007.  
  17008.  
  17009. &lt;p&gt;And UFC boss&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dana-white/&quot;&gt;Dana White&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36796048/trumps-white-house-ufc-showdown-octagon-south-lawn/&quot;&gt;been in talks to make the dream event into a reality&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.&lt;/p&gt;
  17010.  
  17011.  
  17012.  
  17013. &lt;p&gt;Only 5,000 spectators are expected to be in attendance amid strict safety protocols.&lt;/p&gt;
  17014.  
  17015.  
  17016.  
  17017. &lt;p&gt;McGregor, 37,&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36893271/conor-mcgregor-ufc-white-house/&quot;&gt; is a frontrunner to fight on the card&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with White in talks to bring the superstar back to the octagon.&lt;/p&gt;
  17018.  
  17019.  
  17020.  
  17021. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ll build the greatest card of all time.&lt;/p&gt;
  17022.  
  17023.  
  17024.  
  17025. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Conor and I have been talking consistently, he wants this fight bad and when you get to a level that Conor is at you have to find things that motivate you, and the White House card has definitely motivated Conor McGregor.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  17073. &lt;p&gt;PETER SCHMEICHEL has softened his stance on Manchester United’s new goalkeeper Senne Lammens after the 23-year-old impressed on his debut and got fans singing his name.&lt;/p&gt;

  17077. &lt;p&gt;Lammens made his first appearance for United in S&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36912344/man-utd-sunderland-premier-league-report/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;aturday’s 2-0 win over &lt;span id=&quot;6780c0f5-9970-45bc-bee4-a61c19891ce2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Sunderland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, stepping in as No.1 after starting &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36913752/senne-lammens-man-utd-sunderland-verdict/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the season behind &lt;span id=&quot;a67aae2e-8ad5-4f9c-9db3-8562898b1c08&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Altay Bayindir&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  17086.  
  17087.  
  17088.  
  17089. &lt;p&gt;And while the Belgian wasn’t heavily tested, he looked assured throughout, keeping a clean sheet and showing composure with the ball at his feet.&lt;/p&gt;
  17090.  
  17091.  
  17092.  
  17093. &lt;p&gt;A section of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/old-trafford/&quot;&gt;Old Trafford&lt;/a&gt; crowd even broke into the chant: “Are you Schmeichel in disguise?”, a nod to the Danish legend, who made 398 appearances for the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  17094.  
  17095.  
  17096.  
  17097. &lt;p&gt;Reacting to the chant &lt;a href=&quot;https://x.com/5liveSport/status/1975288507313610801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1975288507313610801%7Ctwgr%5E2ef01ed07efbffbd4e029a07da4e71eaf23f9bb5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Farticle-15168097%2FPeter-Schmeichel-verdict-Man-United-goalkeeper-Senne-Lammens.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;on &lt;span id=&quot;aff1ffe8-1f31-402e-9af9-94ec9d5d4af4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/span&gt; 5 Live&lt;/a&gt;, Schmeichel laughed before offering his take on Lammens’ display.&lt;/p&gt;
  17098.  
  17099.  
  17100.  
  17101. &lt;p&gt;He smiled and said: “Thank you for playing that.&lt;/p&gt;
  17102.  
  17103.  
  17104.  
  17105. &lt;p&gt;“It’s &lt;span id=&quot;7513c192-578b-45b9-9708-a9f5be1bf491&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; to finally see a solid performance and a clean sheet.We’ve conceded far too many goals from goalkeeping mistakes – I think it’s nine already this season. That’s a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
  17106.  
  17107.  
  17108.  
  17109. &lt;p&gt;“When I played – and I’m sure it was the same for Van der Sar and De Gea – the expectation was to save the team 10 points a season, not give them away.&lt;/p&gt;
  17110.  
  17111.  
  17112.  
  17113. &lt;p&gt;“So it’s encouraging to see a keeper come in and do the basics well.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17114.  
  17115.  
  17116.  
  17117. &lt;p&gt;The comments mark a notable shift from Schmeichel’s earlier criticism of United’s goalkeeping recruitment.&lt;/p&gt;

  17126.

  17153. &lt;p&gt;“In fact, we should have gone for Donnarumma when the opportunity was there.With Martinez, everything seemed to be lined up. He felt like the right profile for the club.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17154.  
  17155.  
  17156.  
  17157. &lt;p&gt;At the time, Schmeichel admitted he wasn’t familiar with Lammens before the transfer.&lt;/p&gt;
  17158.  
  17159.  
  17160.  
  17161. &lt;p&gt;He added: &lt;strong&gt;“&lt;/strong&gt;I hadn’t heard of him until the links emerged. Yes, his stats were impressive in &lt;span id=&quot;6793d929-78e6-48e4-986c-f68e91712ed9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Belgium&lt;/span&gt; with Antwerp but stats don’t tell you how a player reacts to pressure and the pressure at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt; United is like nowhere else.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17162.  
  17163.  
  17164.  
  17165. &lt;p&gt;Schmeichel had labelled the deal a ‘risk&amp;#8217;, preferring more proven options.&lt;/p&gt;
  17166.  
  17167.  
  17168.  
  17169. &lt;p&gt;But after a steady first showing, Lammens may be starting to answer some of those questions and even winning over one of the club’s most iconic voices.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  17214.  
  17215.  
  17216.  
  17217. &lt;p&gt;Many of us have carpets, and the cosiness they add to a home may be unbeatable &amp;#8211; but the downside is the dirt and stains they can collect.&lt;/p&gt;
  17218.  
  17219.  
  17220.  
  17221. &lt;p&gt;If you have carpet in your entrance way, the chances are it’s going to get grubby, and investing in a dedicated carpet cleaner could save a lot of time.&lt;/p&gt;
  17222.  
  17223.  
  17224.  
  17225. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3KDyrN2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Vax SpotWash cleaner&lt;/a&gt; is designed to deeply clean carpets, but it can also be used on rugs.&lt;/p&gt;
  17226.  
  17227.  
  17228.  
  17229. &lt;p&gt;It’s particularly handy if you have pets or children, as during the wetter months, it’s tricky to avoid traipsing mud and leaves inside.&lt;/p&gt;
  17230.  
  17231.  
  17232.  
  17233. &lt;p&gt;It’s not just surface dirt that builds up &amp;#8211; the bacteria is unhygienic too, especially if left to build-up, and the Vax Antibacterial Solution is included with the deal to eliminate odours and neutralise grime.&lt;/p&gt;
  17234.  
  17235.  
  17236.  
  17237. &lt;p&gt;The SpinScrub hand tool has a rotating brush, deeply scrubs carpets and can be used to spot clean stains on furniture and upholstery too.&lt;/p&gt;
  17238.  
  17239.  
  17240.  
  17241. &lt;p&gt;While you’re still going to have to put some effort in by moving the tool around your home, the Vax device reduces a lot of the manual work.&lt;/p&gt;
  17242.  
  17243.  
  17244.  
  17245. &lt;p&gt;There’s also an attachment designed for hard floors, to tackle spills immediately.&lt;/p&gt;

  17435. &lt;p&gt;Just two years ago, Fleur Green, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36073149/detangling-paddle-hairbrush-best-product-primark-thick-hair/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;beauty fan&lt;/a&gt; from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt;, had a snapped-off, bleach bob.&lt;/p&gt;
  17436.  
  17437.  
  17438.  
  17439. &lt;p&gt;But now, after following a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35658055/doctor-red-onion-combat-hair-loss-fungus-dandruff/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;strict hair routine&lt;/a&gt; which she does every four days, she has broken the internet with her Rapunzel &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tips&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  17444.  
  17445.  
  17446.  
  17447. &lt;p&gt;Fleur, who has amassed 84,200 followers on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt;, showed off her luscious locks and said: “This is my Rapunzel multimillion view oiling and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30668981/haircare-washing-rules-boost-growth-transformation/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hair wash routine&lt;/a&gt;, which quite frankly, has broken the internet this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  17448.  
  17449.  
  17450.  
  17451. &lt;p&gt;“After 19 million views this week alone, I thought it&amp;#8217;d be only right that I give you guys another in-depth tutorial as today is hair wash day for me.&lt;/p&gt;
  17452.  
  17453.  
  17454.  
  17455. &lt;p&gt;“The main reason I think it&amp;#8217;s gone viral is the fact that less than two years ago, I had a snapped-off long bleach blonde bob.&lt;/p&gt;
  17456.  
  17457.  
  17458.  
  17459. &lt;p&gt;“I&amp;#8217;ve done this routine religiously twice a week and this is all my own natural hair, which is way &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30054597/hair-growth-hacks-shoulder-blades-waist-wash-daily/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;down past my waist&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17460.  
  17461.  
  17462.  
  17463. &lt;p&gt;Fleur then got candid on the secrets behind her healthy hair, as she explained: “What I love to do is I mix Nature Spell Rosemary and Batana Oil in the little comb applicator the bundle comes with, which is amazing because it makes things so mess-free.&lt;/p&gt;
  17464.  
  17465.  
  17466.  
  17467. &lt;p&gt;“And let me just say, hair oiling is definitely not a thing I invented, I&amp;#8217;m 100% sure of that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17468.  
  17469.  
  17470.  
  17471. &lt;p&gt;“This has been a thing which other cultures have done for centuries and generations and I started my &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/32758534/transformed-damaged-hair-long-healthy-oil/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hair oiling journey&lt;/a&gt; just under two years ago.”&lt;/p&gt;

  17495. &lt;p&gt;While you can buy the Nature Spell Rosemary Oil for just £8 from Boots and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36133608/holland-and-barrett-closing-hartlepool/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Holland &amp;amp; Barrett&lt;/a&gt;, you can also nab this, plus the Batana Oil, for £15 from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amazon/&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  17499. &lt;p&gt;Fleur continued: “But what really worked for me is about just over a year ago when I started mixing Rosemary and Batana Oil. I&amp;#8217;m just obsessed with this combination.&lt;/p&gt;
  17500.  
  17501.  
  17502.  
  17503. &lt;p&gt;“Rosemary Oil is known as being the Rapunzel oil, so if that&amp;#8217;s your biggest concern, fabulous, but the Batana Oil is super rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, so if you&amp;#8217;ve got dry or brittle hair, or hair that won&amp;#8217;t get past a certain point or it&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36158256/hot-humid-summer-weather-hair/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;prone to snapping&lt;/a&gt;, breaking, you name it, this combination of oils is perfect.&lt;/p&gt;
  17504.  
  17505.  
  17506.  
  17507. &lt;p&gt;“I do half an ounce of each oil, apply that all throughout my scalp and the underside of my scalp and then with any residue, I apply that on the mids and ends.&lt;/p&gt;

  17525.  
  17526.  
  17527.  
  17528. &lt;p&gt;After applying the oils to her hair, Fleur then gave her hair a good brush to evenly disperse the oils.&lt;/p&gt;
  17529.  
  17530.  
  17531.  
  17532. &lt;p&gt;Following this, she added: “It&amp;#8217;s then time to go in and give yourself a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/36856851/fight-wrinkles-head-massage-woman-flawless-skin/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;scalp massage&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; this is really important, do not skip this step, especially if your biggest concern is to be Rapunzel.&lt;/p&gt;

  17549. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long does it take for hair to grow back? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17550. &lt;p&gt;Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up.&lt;/p&gt;
  17551. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17552. &lt;p&gt;Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn’t do much for&lt;br /&gt;male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive.  Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability.  Scalp massages alone won’t cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate.&lt;/p&gt;
  17553. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;eating to help with hair regrowth?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17554. &lt;p&gt;To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we’d recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months.  &lt;/p&gt;
  17555. &lt;p&gt;Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. &lt;/p&gt;
  17556. &lt;p&gt;Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. &lt;/p&gt;
  17557. &lt;p&gt;However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist. &lt;/p&gt;
  17558. &lt;/div&gt;
  17559. &lt;/div&gt;
  17560. &lt;/div&gt;
  17562.  
  17563.  
  17564.  
  17565. &lt;p&gt;After giving her hair another brush, Fleur put her hair in a low bun using a large satin scrunchie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17566.  
  17567.  
  17568.  
  17569. &lt;p&gt;She recognised: “I love to leave my hair oil in for between one to four hours &amp;#8211; that is the recommended amount but we&amp;#8217;re only human, sometimes it&amp;#8217;s gonna be longer than that if I&amp;#8217;m going to work or the gym.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17570.  
  17571.  
  17572.  
  17573. &lt;p&gt;When it comes to washing out the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34406559/hair-oils-test-beauty/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hair oils&lt;/a&gt;, Fleur revealed: “I do actually wash my hair with shampoo three times during this process.&lt;/p&gt;
  17574.  
  17575.  
  17576.  
  17577. &lt;p&gt;“My hair is very thick and now it is literally so close to my bum, it&amp;#8217;s past my waist, so for me, that&amp;#8217;s what I have to do, but I would recommend to anybody, you wanna be shampooing at least two to three times to ensure there&amp;#8217;s no residue left.” &lt;/p&gt;

  17688. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-boss-will-verlaengern-entscheidet-ein-detail-den-upamecano-poker-68e3612889973cba61e82b7d&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bild&lt;/a&gt;, United are &amp;#8220;showing serious interest&amp;#8221; in the centre-back&amp;#8217;s contract situation as he could pose as one of the best bargain deals in next year&amp;#8217;s summer transfer window.&lt;/p&gt;
  17689.  
  17690.  
  17691.  
  17692. &lt;p&gt;However, the Red Devils are facing competition from rivals &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; who are also searching for an elite defender.&lt;/p&gt;
  17693.  
  17694.  
  17695.  
  17696. &lt;p&gt;The Reds came just a whisker away from signing Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi on deadline day during the summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  17697.  
  17698.  
  17699.  
  17700. &lt;p&gt;However, Palace couldn&amp;#8217;t secure a replacement in time and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36596719/marc-guehi-liverpool-crystal-palace/&quot;&gt;the deal fell through&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17701.  
  17702.  
  17703.  
  17704. &lt;p&gt;Guehi will also become a free agent in June and will attract a raft of interest, which means the Merseysiders could miss out on him again and thus will have to consider alternatives.&lt;/p&gt;
  17705.  
  17706.  
  17707.  
  17708. &lt;p&gt;Real Madrid and Barcelona are also monitoring Upamecano&amp;#8217;s situation at the Allianz Arena, which appears to be under strain.&lt;/p&gt;
  17709.  
  17710.  
  17711.  
  17712. &lt;p&gt;While &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1249869/bayern-munich/&quot;&gt;Bayern&lt;/a&gt; have agreed on a base salary with the France international, the sticking point is the signing-on bonus.&lt;/p&gt;
  17713.  
  17714.  
  17715.  
  17716. &lt;p&gt;The gap between the German champions&amp;#8217; offer and the three-time Bundesliga title winner&amp;#8217;s expectations has rendered negotiations extremely difficult.&lt;/p&gt;

  17788.  
  17789.  
  17790.  
  17791. &lt;p&gt;Amrinder Singh Pannu, 38, made the lewd comments to one of his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;students&lt;/a&gt;, referred to as Pupil A.&lt;/p&gt;
  17792.  
  17793.  
  17794.  
  17795. &lt;p&gt;The incident took place at St Mark&amp;#8217;s Church of England school in 2018 and Pannu was subsequently suspended and dismissed when the conversation came to light.&lt;/p&gt;
  17796.  
  17797.  
  17798.  
  17799. &lt;p&gt;According to a Teaching Regulation Agency report, the pupil secretly recorded voice notes in Pannu&amp;#8217;s classroom during a free period.&lt;/p&gt;
  17800.  
  17801.  
  17802.  
  17803. &lt;p&gt;He allegedly told her &amp;#8220;you&amp;#8217;re one horny girl man, f***&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;you&amp;#8217;re not teasing me, I know you want it&amp;#8221; or words of a similar nature.&lt;/p&gt;
  17804.  
  17805.  
  17806.  
  17807. &lt;p&gt;During the same conversation, Pannu can also be heard telling Pupil A that she has a &amp;#8220;nice a**e&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  17808.  
  17809.  
  17810.  
  17811. &lt;p&gt;Pupil A then reportedly asked whether the Pannu would have sex with her when they turned 18 to which he replied &amp;#8220;a few months then later yeah&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17812.  
  17813.  
  17814.  
  17815. &lt;p&gt;The recordings also revealed Pannu telling Pupil A: &amp;#8220;if you were in a different school then it would have been a different story&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17816.  
  17817.  
  17818.  
  17819. &lt;p&gt;Following the shocking encounter, an anonymous whistelblowing email was sent to three members of the school&amp;#8217;s staff containing the recordings. &lt;/p&gt;
  17820.  
  17821.  
  17822.  
  17823. &lt;p&gt;An urgent investigation was launched by the school and Pannu was suspended. &lt;/p&gt;
  17824.  
  17825.  
  17826.  
  17827. &lt;p&gt;When the student was questioned, she said that her and Pannu would often talk normally about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;travelling&lt;/a&gt; or university. &lt;/p&gt;

  17852.  
  17853.  
  17854.  
  17855. &lt;p&gt;According to the student, he would tell her to not tell anyone as it would ruin his life. &lt;/p&gt;
  17856.  
  17857.  
  17858.  
  17859. &lt;p&gt;Pupil A said that after telling her friends about the situation with Pannu, they didn&amp;#8217;t believe her so she recorded the conversation.&lt;/p&gt;
  17860.  
  17861.  
  17862.  
  17863. &lt;p&gt;Defending himself to the Teaching Regulatory Agency panel, Pannu said that he was worried about Pupil A&amp;#8217;s behaviour but put it down to a &amp;#8220;crush&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;pushing boundaries&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  17864.  
  17865.  
  17866.  
  17867. &lt;p&gt;He was adamant that no physical contact occurred between the two of them and the conversation in question took place when they were either side of a desk.&lt;/p&gt;
  17868.  
  17869.  
  17870.  
  17871. &lt;p&gt;Pannu, who began working at the school in September 2015, was permanently banned &amp;#8211; the panel recommended a prohibition order with no opportunity for review.&lt;/p&gt;
  17872.  
  17873.  
  17874.  
  17875. &lt;p&gt;They found that his conduct &amp;#8220;fell significantly short of the standards expected of the profession&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17876.  
  17877.  
  17878.  
  17879. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for Anthem Schools Trust, which manages St Marks&amp;#8217;s school, said in a statement that the teacher was &amp;#8220;suspended and dismissed&amp;#8221; in 2018 after the &amp;#8220;incident came to light&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17880.  
  17881.  
  17882.  
  17883. &lt;p&gt;‘This is a case from 2018 which occurred under historic leadership and no current student at the school was taught by the individual concerned,&amp;#8221; they added.&lt;/p&gt;
  17884.  
  17885.  
  17886.  
  17887. &lt;p&gt;‘St Mark’s is committed to the wellbeing and success of all its students and this is why the school has been rated by Ofsted as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas, following its recent inspection in 2024.’&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  17944.  
  17945.  
  17946.  
  17947. &lt;p&gt;Brown was sentenced to a minimum term of 30 years on October 6 2008 after he was found guilty of murdering DVD seller Xiao Mei Guo, 29, and prostitute Bonnie Barrett, 24.&lt;/p&gt;
  17948.  
  17949.  
  17950.  
  17951. &lt;p&gt;He denied murder but admitted paying both women for sex before their disappearances in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
  17952.  
  17953.  
  17954.  
  17955. &lt;p&gt;The previously convicted rapist found his victims in the Whitechapel area of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; famously stalked by Jack the Ripper in the 1880s.&lt;/p&gt;
  17956.  
  17957.  
  17958.  
  17959. &lt;p&gt;A search of Brown&amp;#8217;s Rotherhithe flat found traces of blood belonging to both women, as well as a receipt for a bow saw, heavy duty gloves, rubble sacks and cleaning materials.&lt;/p&gt;
  17960.  
  17961.  
  17962.  
  17963. &lt;p&gt;Brown was serving his sentence in HMP Wakefield but is believed to have become unwell last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  17964.  
  17965.  
  17966.  
  17967. &lt;p&gt;He was taken to hospital and died two days later on September 9 at the age of 64 &amp;#8211; just days away from his 65th birthday.&lt;/p&gt;
  17968.  
  17969.  
  17970.  
  17971. &lt;p&gt;However, his victims remains have never been found to this day.&lt;/p&gt;
  17972.  
  17973.  
  17974.  
  17975. &lt;p&gt;A source close to Brown said: &amp;#8220;He was in critical care since Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  17976.  
  17977.  
  17978.  
  17979. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They found him in his cell on Saturday, and he was in critical care since Saturday 5pm until Monday when he died at 3pm.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18003. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; at the time of the murders believed Brown sought &amp;#8220;notoriety&amp;#8221; for the killings.&lt;/p&gt;
  18004.  
  18005.  
  18006.  
  18007. &lt;p&gt;Detective Chief Inspector Mark Kandiah said: &amp;#8220;If he kept killing prostitutes from the Whitechapel area, then that link (with Jack the Ripper) would be made.&lt;/p&gt;
  18008.  
  18009.  
  18010.  
  18011. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If this was a spree, it seems likely that we stopped him at number two.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18012.  
  18013.  
  18014.  
  18015. &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prison/&quot;&gt;Prison&lt;/a&gt; Service spokesperson said: &amp;#8220;Derek Brown died in hospital on 29 September while serving a sentence at HMP Wakefield.&lt;/p&gt;
  18016.  
  18017.  
  18018.  
  18019. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As with all deaths in custody, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will investigate.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18020.  
  18021.  
  18022.  
  18023. &lt;p&gt;It comes after a researcher claimed he found a 100 per cent DNA match with the original Jack the Ripper and his suspect.&lt;/p&gt;
  18024.  
  18025.  
  18026.  
  18027. &lt;p&gt;Russell Edwards &lt;span&gt;extracted&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dna/&quot;&gt;DNA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;from a shawl recovered from the scene of one of the slayings, and claimed the murderer was&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8656519/jack-the-ripper-polish-barber-dna-evidence/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Aaron Kosminski&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, an emigre from&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/poland/&quot;&gt;Poland&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, who worked as a barber.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18028.  
  18029.  
  18030.  
  18031. &lt;p&gt;With the help of genealogists, Russell found a living relative of Kosminski who was happy to share her DNA for his to be tested against.&lt;/p&gt;
  18032.  
  18033.  
  18034.  
  18035. &lt;p&gt;When they had a positive match, Russell realised he may have finally confirmed the murderer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18036.  
  18037.  
  18038.  
  18039. &lt;p&gt;His bombshell finding led to descendants of victims to call for an inquest in the hopes of finding closure.&lt;/p&gt;
  18040.  
  18041.  
  18042.  
  18043. &lt;p&gt;Karen Miller, 53, whose ancestor Catherine Eddowes was brutally murdered, says it is time for an inquest to name the killer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18044.  
  18045.  
  18046.  
  18047. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;We have got the proof, now we need this inquest to legally name the killer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18048.  
  18049.  
  18050.  
  18051. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It would mean a lot to me, to my family, to a lot of people to finally have this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; solved.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18062. SERIAL KILLER Jack the Ripper caused mass hysteria like no murderer had done before. &lt;/p&gt;
  18064. &lt;div&gt;
  18065. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The story was kept alive for generations after no one was ever caught for killing working women in the East End of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18066. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8474627/jack-the-ripper-didnt-just-kill-prostitutes/&quot;&gt;Jack the Ripper&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was the pen name that signed off on a chilling letter alleged to be from the killer printed in London newspapers at the height of his terror.&lt;/p&gt;
  18067. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7271329/jack-the-ripper-victims-not-prostitutes-whitechapel-murders/&quot;&gt;Five women&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;—&amp;nbsp; Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly — are widely held to have been victims of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/hold-ye-front-page/2359391/the-murderer-known-as-jack-the-ripper-is-the-most-famous-serial-killer-of-all-time/&quot;&gt;the Ripper&lt;/a&gt;, although later&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/murderers-serial-killers/&quot;&gt;murders&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;were attributed to him.&lt;/p&gt;
  18068. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19172274/jack-ripper-truths-victims-kerry-daynes/&quot;&gt;All were murdered&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the most brutal fashion imaginable around the Whitechapel area between August and November 1888.&lt;/p&gt;
  18069. &lt;p&gt;Their bodies were mutilated, many of them being disembowelled.&lt;/p&gt;
  18070. &lt;p&gt;Chapman&amp;#8217;s uterus was taken, Eddowes had her uterus and a kidney removed and her face mutilated, while Kelly&amp;#8217;s body was completely destroyed and her face hacked away.&lt;/p&gt;
  18071. &lt;p&gt;Such was the fear at the time that the streets of London emptied after nightfall, leaving the once bustling Victorian capital deathly silent while the Ripper roamed the streets.&lt;/p&gt;
  18072. &lt;p&gt;Jack the Ripper committed at least five murders in or near the Whitechapel district of London’s&amp;nbsp;East End.&lt;/p&gt;
  18073. &lt;p&gt;All of the victims were prostitutes and all of their corpses had been mutilated.&lt;/p&gt;
  18074. &lt;p&gt;Scotland Yard was inundated with criminal investigations in rough East End leaving them overstretched and under-resourced.&lt;/p&gt;
  18075. &lt;p&gt;Their lack of arrests and the continuing murder spree led to widespread criticism verging on derision of the police effort to catch the Ripper.&lt;/p&gt;
  18076. &lt;p&gt;Volunteer citizens put themselves forward to try to help with the case and the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee was formed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18077. &lt;p&gt;Its members patrolled the streets looking for suspects and hired private detectives to bring the menace to an end.&lt;/p&gt;
  18078. &lt;p&gt;Top of the list of suspects were local butchers and surgeons because of the brutality of the killings — the Ripper was clearly not averse to blood.&lt;/p&gt;
  18079. &lt;p&gt;Even&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4313783/queen-victoria-prince-albert-children-married-death-old/&quot;&gt;Queen Victoria&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was made aware of the harrowing killings and formed her own theories that the Ripper must be a butcher.&lt;/p&gt;
  18080. &lt;p&gt;The fact that many killings took place on weekends or public holidays also suggested the killer was a regular worker who lived nearby.&lt;/p&gt;
  18081. &lt;p&gt;While investigations proved fruitless at the time, &amp;#8220;ripperologists&amp;#8221; are still trawling through evidence to find the true identity of the killer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18082. &lt;p&gt;The number of named suspects reaches over one hundred.&lt;/p&gt;
  18083. &lt;p&gt;Among them is&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/4187181/is-this-jack-the-ripper-experts-now-believe-much-disputed-victorian-diary-said-to-belong-to-the-killer-is-genuine/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;cotton merchant&amp;nbsp;James Maybrick&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who died a year after the last of the Ripper murders.&lt;/p&gt;
  18084. &lt;p&gt;A diary allegedly belonging to him detailed the murders but its authenticity is disputed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18085. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4478894/jack-the-ripper-identity-thomas-cutbush-burial-site/&quot;&gt;Thomas Cutbush, a violent criminal,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is also among the list of suspects.&lt;/p&gt;
  18086. &lt;p&gt;He worked in Whitechapel at the time of the killings and allegedly harboured a hatred for prostitutes and a grim fascination with medicine and surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
  18087. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/141369/the-true-identity-of-jack-the-ripper-revealed/&quot;&gt;Respected poet Francis Thompson&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is alleged to have carried out the murders because he&amp;nbsp;wrote about killing people, had surgical experience and was known to be close to one prostitute in the Whitechapel area at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  18088. &lt;p&gt;The Ripper case was the first to cause a worldwide media frenzy, and fervent speculation continues to this day.&lt;/p&gt;
  18089. &lt;p&gt;Indeed, in January 2018 the mystery seemed to have inched closer to being solved when&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5468300/jack-the-ripper-mystery-breakthrough-after-handwriting-expert-matched-two-of-the-serial-killers-letters/&quot;&gt;an expert matched the handwriting&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of two letters claiming to be from the killer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18090. &lt;p&gt;Hundreds of such letters were sent to police and media, and their origin has remained a mystery with many believing they were written by journalists in an attempt to boost circulation.&lt;/p&gt;
  18091. &lt;p&gt;But a scientific study seemed to shed new light on the mystery, focusing on the &amp;#8216;Dear Boss&amp;#8217; letter, in which the name Jack the Ripper appears for the first time, and the &amp;#8216;Saucy Jacky&amp;#8217; postcard.&lt;/p&gt;
  18092. &lt;p&gt;It found similar linguistic constructions in both letters, such as the phrasal verb &amp;#8216;to keep back&amp;#8217;, as well as similarities in the handwriting.&lt;/p&gt;
  18093. &lt;p&gt;A recent theory which came to light in February 2018, is that the Ripper may have been a Dutch serial killer and sailor.&lt;/p&gt;
  18094. &lt;p&gt;Crime historian Dr Jan Bondeson named&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5521874/could-jack-the-ripper-have-been-a-dutch-serial-killing-sailor-hendrik-de-jong-who-murdered-two-of-his-ex-wives/&quot;&gt;Hendrik de Jong as a prime suspect&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18095. &lt;p&gt;De Jong murdered two wives in his homeland and is believed to have travelled to London regularly.&lt;/p&gt;
  18096. &lt;p&gt;Another suspect to emerge is the American serial killer&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6291681/who-was-hh-holmes/&quot;&gt;HH Holmes.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18097. &lt;p&gt;Lawyer&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6296261/jeff-mudgett-related-meghan-markle-american-jack-ripper-serial-killer-hh-holmes/&quot;&gt;Jeff Mudgett&lt;/a&gt;, is the great-great-great-grandson of Holmes, who murdered at least nine known victims.&lt;/p&gt;

  18180. &lt;p&gt;The reality star took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; to tell fans how he had injured himself during training.&lt;/p&gt;
  18181.  
  18182.  
  18183.  
  18184. &lt;p&gt;Ikenna explained he had been left in immense pain after he tore his ACL (the anterior cruciate ligament).&lt;/p&gt;
  18185.  
  18186.  
  18187.  
  18188. &lt;p&gt;This ligament is a band of tissue in the knee that connects the thigh bone  to the shin bone.&lt;/p&gt;
  18189.  
  18190.  
  18191.  
  18192. &lt;p&gt;In his social media post, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18727512/ikenna-ekwonna-love-island/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ikenna&lt;/a&gt; shared a series of photos from hospital, which included an X-ray of his torn ACL.&lt;/p&gt;

  18197.  
  18198.  
  18199.  
  18200. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Been hitting hella PBs this year and then got the sweet reminder that life never goes the way you think. &lt;/p&gt;
  18201.  
  18202.  
  18203.  
  18204. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;ACL reconstruction surgery went smooth + medial/lateral meniscus repair &amp;amp; LET.&lt;/p&gt;
  18205.  
  18206.  
  18207.  
  18208. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Initially tore my ACL 4 years ago playing ball and I let it rehab naturally without surgery. &lt;/p&gt;
  18209.  
  18210.  
  18211.  
  18212. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This time around I tore it running down a hill in LA a couple weeks ago.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18213.  
  18214.  
  18215.  
  18216. &lt;p&gt;Talking about his recovering, Ikenna said: &amp;#8220;Treating this is as my factory reset, been grinding so much this year and then boom I can no longer tap into my fitness bag which is a big thing for me but I’m going to embrace this period of calmness and use it as fuel for whats to come.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18240. &lt;p&gt;Ikenna shot to fame on season eight of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; in 2022, which was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19381946/who-won-love-island-2022/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;won by Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sancliment&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18241.  
  18242.  
  18243.  
  18244. &lt;p&gt;He was one of the OG cast that entered on the first day of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
  18245.  
  18246.  
  18247.  
  18248. &lt;p&gt;From the start he was coupled up with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/indiyah-polack/&quot;&gt;Indiyah Polack&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18249.  
  18250.  
  18251.  
  18252. &lt;p&gt;However, Ikenna was dumped from the villa on day 15, after receiving the fewest votes from viewers.&lt;/p&gt;
  18253.  
  18254.  
  18255.  
  18256. &lt;p&gt;After he was booted of the island, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/18966699/ikenna-love-island-staged-dami-kissing-indiyah/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Indiyah quickly moved on with Dami Hope&lt;/a&gt;, who &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35612197/love-islands-indiyah-reveals-rule-dami-broke/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;she is still with to this day&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18257.  
  18258.  
  18259.  
  18260. &lt;p&gt;Speaking at the time, Ikenna tweeted: &amp;#8220;NAH WHAT MY CORPSE AINT EVEN COLD YET INDIYAHHHHH!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18261.  
  18262.  
  18263.  
  18264. &lt;p&gt;Then he added &amp;#8220;AY NAH THIS MUST BE STAGED.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18265.  
  18266.  
  18267.  
  18268. &lt;p&gt;Since leaving the villa, Ikenna has focused on being an influencer, and lists himself on Instagram as a digital creator.&lt;/p&gt;

  18277.  
  18278.  
  18279.  
  18280. &lt;p&gt;In the past, he has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/20635093/love-island-ikenna-salary-money/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;opened up after life after Love Island is over&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18281.  
  18282.  
  18283.  
  18284. &lt;p&gt;He previously revealed that he was earning less than he did before appearing on the &lt;span id=&quot;8832b8ff-1822-47f7-ad68-435d0e4ebefd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; show.&lt;/p&gt;
  18285.  
  18286.  
  18287.  
  18288. &lt;p&gt;Ikenna made the admission in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/channel-4/&quot;&gt;Channel 4&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;66105583-5732-4ed4-960d-e5afef2e0bc6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19727181/channel4-to-expose-loveisland-in-new-docuseries/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;series called Life After Love Island&lt;/a&gt;, that exposed what really happens on the hit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; reality series.&lt;/p&gt;
  18289.  
  18290.  
  18291.  
  18292. &lt;p&gt;The star, who was a pharmaceutical sales rep before going into the villa, said after leaving Love Island he was making less than half the amount of &lt;span id=&quot;a6f30f90-2b99-4daf-91ab-835e75c3d7c6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt; after quitting his job to go on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv2/&quot;&gt;ITV2&lt;/a&gt; show.&lt;/p&gt;
  18293.  
  18294.  
  18295.  
  18296. &lt;p&gt;The documentary revealed that he made £3000 to £4000 making content and advertising in the first three months after leaving the villa, which worked out &amp;#8220;less than half than what he was earning&amp;#8221; at his previous job.&lt;/p&gt;
  18297.  
  18298.  
  18299.  
  18300. &lt;p&gt;“You come out thinking, ‘Oh, it’s Love Island. Everyone after Love Island is set,’” he told presenter Will Njobvu. “And coming out of it, you’re like, ‘Where is it?’”&lt;/p&gt;

  18352.  
  18353.  
  18354.  
  18355.  
  18356.  
  18357.  
  18358.  
  18359. &lt;p&gt;IF you’ve seen slick casino dramas or heist films, you’ll know the scene: a clever player counts cards, wins big and then gets shown the door by security. That raises the obvious questions: Is card counting illegal? And can you actually get arrested for it?&lt;/p&gt;
  18360.  
  18361.  
  18362.  
  18363. &lt;p&gt;The answer isn’t black and white. Card counting itself isn’t a criminal offence; it’s a skill-based strategy that sharp blackjack players use to tip the odds slightly in their favour by observing which cards have been played, remembering them and adjusting their bets. It’s more about attention and arithmetic than anything shady.&lt;/p&gt;
  18364.  
  18365.  
  18366.  
  18367. &lt;p&gt;In this article, we’ll clear up the myths, explain how counting cards works in practice and map out the fine legal line players should be aware of, including what’s allowed, what casinos can do in response and the practical risks to be aware of.&lt;/p&gt;
  18368.  
  18369.  
  18370.  
  18371. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is card counting?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  18372.  
  18373.  
  18374.  
  18375. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_counting&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Card counting&lt;/a&gt; is a strategic method in blackjack that is designed to give you an edge over the house. The method helps you determine whether the next hand is likely to favour you or the dealer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18376.  
  18377.  
  18378.  
  18379. &lt;p&gt;To do this, players keep track of the ratio of high to low cards left in the deck. It involves aiming for high cards such as tens, jacks, queens, kings and aces. When the card ratio shifts, you can adjust your bets to gain a competitive edge.&lt;/p&gt;
  18380.  
  18381.  
  18382.  
  18383. &lt;p&gt;The general idea is to bet little or nothing when you don’t have the advantage and stake proportionately more when your advantage increases.&lt;/p&gt;
  18384.  
  18385.  
  18386.  
  18387. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Most common card counting myths: Debunked&lt;/h2&gt;
  18388.  
  18389.  
  18390.  
  18391. &lt;p&gt;Several myths and misconceptions have long surrounded card counting. Casinos often promote these myths as they don’t want you to tip the odds in your favour and increase your chances of winning.&lt;/p&gt;
  18392.  
  18393.  
  18394.  
  18395. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;1. Counting cards is illegal&lt;/h3&gt;
  18396.  
  18397.  
  18398.  
  18399. &lt;p&gt;Many people believe that counting cards is a criminal act. Casinos are always happy to have players think that card counting, a simple process using your brain, is illegal.&lt;/p&gt;
  18400.  
  18401.  
  18402.  
  18403. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/274c.png&quot; alt=&quot;❌&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Myth&lt;/strong&gt;: Counting cards is an illegal act punishable by law.&lt;/p&gt;
  18404.  
  18405.  
  18406.  
  18407. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2714.png&quot; alt=&quot;✔&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Truth&lt;/strong&gt;: Counting cards is not illegal. It is a mental skill, and using your mind at the blackjack table is legal everywhere. What is not allowed is using machines, computers or hidden devices. Casinos can still ask players who count cards to leave their premises, but they cannot sue you.&lt;/p&gt;
  18408.  
  18409.  
  18410.  
  18411. &lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever wondered is counting cards illegal in UK, the answer is straightforward: it’s not. In the UK, using your memory and strategy to count cards isn’t cheating, though casinos are private businesses and can still ask you to leave if they think you’re doing it.&lt;/p&gt;
  18412.  
  18413.  
  18414.  
  18415. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;2. Card counters always win big&lt;/h3&gt;
  18416.  
  18417.  
  18418.  
  18419. &lt;p&gt;While the strategy doesn’t guarantee wins, it increases your chances of winning over time since it gives the player an advantage by indicating when the odds are in their favour.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18420.  
  18421.  
  18422.  
  18423. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/274c.png&quot; alt=&quot;❌&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Myth&lt;/strong&gt;: Card counters are always walking away with vast sums of money won at the tables.&lt;/p&gt;
  18424.  
  18425.  
  18426.  
  18427. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2714.png&quot; alt=&quot;✔&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Truth&lt;/strong&gt;: Things aren&amp;#8217;t as straightforward as they seem with card counting. The odds being in your favour doesn’t mean you will always be on a winning streak. Instead, they give you an edge that you can use to make small gains and potentially increase your success over time.&lt;/p&gt;
  18428.  
  18429.  
  18430.  
  18431. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;3. It requires perfect memory&lt;/h3&gt;
  18432.  
  18433.  
  18434.  
  18435. &lt;p&gt;Another huge misconception with card counting is that it requires you to remember every single card.&lt;/p&gt;
  18436.  
  18437.  
  18438.  
  18439. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/274c.png&quot; alt=&quot;❌&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Myth&lt;/strong&gt;: Card counters need photographic memory to succeed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18440.  
  18441.  
  18442.  
  18443. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2714.png&quot; alt=&quot;✔&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Truth&lt;/strong&gt;: You only need to familiarise yourself with the blackjack strategy charts. With practise, these will be drilled in your brain. You also need to remember the running count for a few seconds before it changes again, which is something that even your uncle can do. In short, you just need practise, focus and repetition rather than perfect memory.&lt;/p&gt;
  18444.  
  18445.  
  18446.  
  18447. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;4. Casinos can&amp;#8217;t catch card counters&lt;/h3&gt;
  18448.  
  18449.  
  18450.  
  18451. &lt;p&gt;Some people believe casinos cannot spot skilled card counters. However, this is not true.&lt;/p&gt;
  18452.  
  18453.  
  18454.  
  18455. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/274c.png&quot; alt=&quot;❌&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Myth&lt;/strong&gt;: Casinos cannot do anything about card counters.&lt;/p&gt;
  18456.  
  18457.  
  18458.  
  18459. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2714.png&quot; alt=&quot;✔&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Truth&lt;/strong&gt;: Casinos invest heavily in software monitoring and surveillance systems. They also frequently reshuffle card decks to catch card counters. This ensures that even the most experienced blackjack pros who rely on card counting must evolve their strategies as what may have worked before is not as effective this time.&lt;/p&gt;
  18460.  
  18461.  
  18462.  
  18463. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/card-counting-legality-infographic.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=462&quot; alt=&quot;Infographic on the legality of card counting, explaining what it is, casino policies, legal perspective, counter strategies, and final thoughts.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36935468&quot; width=&quot;462&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;

  18466.  
  18467. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f914.png&quot; alt=&quot;🤔&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;How does counting cards work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  18468.  
  18469.  
  18470.  
  18471. &lt;p&gt;Card counting works by taking note of the proportion of high to low cards that are still in the shoe. One of the best-known systems is the Hi-Lo system.&lt;/p&gt;
  18472.  
  18473.  
  18474.  
  18475. &lt;p&gt;Two through six are assigned +1, sevens through nines are assigned 0 and tens through aces are given a value of -1. The total is the running count. A positive running count means there are more high cards remaining, so players will receive more blackjacks and more dealer busts.&lt;/p&gt;
  18476.  
  18477.  
  18478.  
  18479. &lt;p&gt;The strategy involves raising your bet with a positive count and lowering it with a negative count. If you are curious about trying your luck, check out some of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/35147953/best-online-blackjack/&quot;&gt;best online blackjack platforms &lt;/a&gt;where the game is available.&lt;/p&gt;
  18480.  
  18481.  
  18482.  
  18483. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f449.png&quot; alt=&quot;👉&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Differences between card counting and cheating&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  18484.  
  18485.  
  18486.  
  18487. &lt;p&gt;Card counting has frequently been confused with cheating, but they are different. Many casinos consider card counting a form of cheating, primarily because it makes the house lose money.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18488.  
  18489.  
  18490.  
  18491. &lt;p&gt;Here are the differences between the two:&lt;/p&gt;
  18492.  
  18493.  
  18494.  
  18495. &lt;ul&gt;
  18496. &lt;li&gt;Cheating involves violating casino rules, whereas card counting is a mental strategy that helps players determine what the undealt decks might hold.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  18497.  
  18498.  
  18499.  
  18500. &lt;li&gt;Card counting is based on observation and mathematical analysis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  18501.  
  18502.  
  18503.  
  18504. &lt;li&gt;Cheating uses prohibited devices or collusion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  18505.  
  18506.  
  18507.  
  18508. &lt;li&gt;Casinos can expel card counters without charging them criminally.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  18509.  
  18510.  
  18511.  
  18512. &lt;li&gt;Cheating can lead to arrest, fines and prosecution.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  18513.  
  18514.  
  18515.  
  18516. &lt;li&gt;Card counting reduces the house edge through skill rather than cheating.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  18517.  
  18518.  
  18519.  
  18520. &lt;li&gt;In essence, card counting is legal but not approved, while cheating is illegal and punishable.&lt;/li&gt;
  18521. &lt;/ul&gt;

  18556.  
  18557.  
  18558.  
  18559. &lt;p&gt;Any gambling enthusiast who knows something about the development of card counting is familiar with legendary names such as Edward O. Thorp, Al Francesco and Tommy Hyland, who contributed to its mainstream success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18560.  
  18561.  
  18562.  
  18563. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Edward O. Thorp&lt;/h3&gt;
  18564.  
  18565.  
  18566.  
  18567. &lt;p&gt;Thorp is regarded as the father of card counting. He created mathematical systems in the 1960s that proved that blackjack could be beaten. His book &lt;em&gt;Beat the Dealer&lt;/em&gt; was a bestseller, and it paved the way for card counting around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  18568.  
  18569.  
  18570.  
  18571. &lt;p&gt;Thorp proved to everyone that math, rather than chance, could tip the odds in favour of the players against the casinos.&lt;/p&gt;
  18572.  
  18573.  
  18574.  
  18575. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;The MIT blackjack team&lt;/h3&gt;
  18576.  
  18577.  
  18578.  
  18579. &lt;p&gt;The MIT blackjack team consisted of students from MIT, Harvard and other schools. The team, managed by Bill Kaplan, employed advanced strategies combined with card counting to achieve significant wins during the 1980s and 1990s.&lt;/p&gt;
  18580.  
  18581.  
  18582.  
  18583. &lt;p&gt;Ben Mezrich wrote about the MIT blackjack team in his book &lt;em&gt;Bringing Down the House&lt;/em&gt;, which later inspired the film &lt;em&gt;21&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18584.  
  18585.  
  18586.  
  18587. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Ken Uston&lt;/h3&gt;
  18588.  
  18589.  
  18590.  
  18591. &lt;p&gt;Ken Uston is well known as the first person to develop team play for card counting. He also fought court battles to protect the ability to use the skill of card counting.&lt;/p&gt;
  18592.  
  18593.  
  18594.  
  18595. &lt;p&gt;His book &lt;em&gt;Million Dollar Blackjack&lt;/em&gt; taught straightforward methods and inspired hundreds of thousands of players. Uston&amp;#8217;s courtroom struggles resolved concerns about whether counting cards is against the law.&lt;/p&gt;
  18596.  
  18597.  
  18598.  
  18599. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Al Francesco&lt;/h3&gt;
  18600.  
  18601.  
  18602.  
  18603. &lt;p&gt;Al Francesco is another legend famous for popularising team play for blackjack. He had players work together with spotters to monitor the cards, while big players entered the game when the count was in their favour.&lt;/p&gt;
  18604.  
  18605.  
  18606.  
  18607. &lt;p&gt;This tactic increased profits and reduced the risks of getting caught. Francesco&amp;#8217;s methods of card counting impacted modern team strategy, which is now employed worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
  18608.  
  18609.  
  18610.  
  18611. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Tommy Hyland&lt;/h3&gt;
  18612.  
  18613.  
  18614.  
  18615. &lt;p&gt;Tommy Hyland leads one of the longest-running blackjack teams in history. His team began in the 1970s and was active for decades, demonstrating that organised groups could achieve long-term success.&lt;/p&gt;
  18616.  
  18617.  
  18618.  
  18619. &lt;p&gt;At one point, members of Hyland’s team were arrested and accused of cheating. However, the court ruled in their favour, citing that they were merely using an intelligent strategy.&lt;/p&gt;
  18620.  
  18621.  
  18622.  
  18623. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h2&gt;
  18624.  
  18625.  
  18626.  
  18627. &lt;p&gt;So, is card counting illegal? No, it is not. Using mental skill to gain an edge in blackjack is perfectly fine. However, casinos and private businesses can remove you or ban you if they suspect you of using the technique.&lt;/p&gt;
  18628.  
  18629.  
  18630.  
  18631. &lt;p&gt;The key takeaway is that, although it is not illegal, you need to be a more strategic player. With the right knowledge and extensive practise, card counting can be a highly effective strategy.&lt;/p&gt;
  18632.

  18635. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAQ&lt;/strong&gt; about counting cards in the UK&lt;/h2&gt;
  18636.  
  18637.  
  18638.  
  18639. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;1. Is counting cards illegal UK?&lt;/h3&gt;
  18640.  
  18641.  
  18642.  
  18643. &lt;p&gt;No, card counting is a legal strategy in the UK and is not categorised as cheating under British law. However, casinos are private businesses. They can refuse service, ask players to leave or ban suspected counters. The law protects the practise, but casinos protect their profits.&lt;/p&gt;
  18644.  
  18645.  
  18646.  
  18647. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;2. What are the laws regarding card counting?&lt;/h3&gt;
  18648.  
  18649.  
  18650.  
  18651. &lt;p&gt;There are no laws meant explicitly for card counting. Using the brain to count is fine and totally legal. However, it is not permissible to use electronic devices, hidden computers or collusion. These are methods of cheating. Card counters can be excluded from casinos, but they will not be arrested or charged for simply using their mind to count cards.&lt;/p&gt;
  18652.  
  18653.  
  18654.  
  18655. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;3. How do casinos detect card counters?&lt;/h3&gt;
  18656.  
  18657.  
  18658.  
  18659. &lt;p&gt;Casinos spot card counters by observing bet patterns. A sudden bet increase when the count is favouring them is the most obvious sign. Security staff also study play history, monitor body language and take dealer feedback. Advanced surveillance and computer tracking enforcement make it difficult for even the most professional card counters to remain unnoticed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18660.  
  18661.  
  18662.  
  18663. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;4. Do casinos have rules against card counting?&lt;/h3&gt;
  18664.  
  18665.  
  18666.  
  18667. &lt;p&gt;Card counting may not be illegal, but it goes against most casino policies. Casinos can ban players suspected of using this method. Security staff are given the power to deny blacklisted card counters entry to casino floors. A suspected card counter may be asked to stop playing and leave the premises immediately.&lt;/p&gt;

  18950.  
  18951.  
  18952.  
  18953. &lt;p&gt;Others claimed to have seen the unusual sighting from Wimbledon and Hampstead Heath.&lt;/p&gt;
  18954.  
  18955.  
  18956.  
  18957. &lt;p&gt;And some even reported catching a glimpse as far afield as Brighton and Grantham.&lt;/p&gt;
  18958.  
  18959.  
  18960.  
  18961. &lt;p&gt;One onlooker described seeing the &amp;#8220;streak&amp;#8221; of light dash through the clouds at around 8.10pm to 8.30pm, and initially believed it was fireworks. &lt;/p&gt;
  18962.  
  18963.  
  18964.  
  18965. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, an incredible &amp;#8216;fireball&amp;#8217; was spotted over Kent by a skywatcher last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  18966.  
  18967.  
  18968.  
  18969. &lt;p&gt;Jamie McBean managed to capture the spectacle on his home&amp;#8217;s security camera in Herne Bay at 7:10pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  18970.  
  18971.  
  18972.  
  18973. &lt;p&gt;A stargazer wrote on Reddit: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m used to seeing planes coming and going to Heathrow, and also helicopters coming and going; this was not that.&lt;/p&gt;
  18974.  
  18975.  
  18976.  
  18977. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My next thought was fireworks but I&amp;#8217;m 90 per cent sure it wasn&amp;#8217;t that, and there was no explosion.&lt;/p&gt;
  18978.  
  18979.  
  18980.  
  18981. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For reference it was about the same size as the full-ish moon tonight, visible through the clouds, but as a much brighter blue-green color and, again, moving quite fast.&lt;/p&gt;
  18982.  
  18983.  
  18984.  
  18985. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was a very odd combination of speed, size and brightness and didn&amp;#8217;t look like anything I&amp;#8217;ve ever seen in the sky here before.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18986.  
  18987.  
  18988.  
  18989. &lt;p&gt;It is still unconfirmed what the bright light was but the Royal Observatory Greenwich said it was very likely to be a &amp;#8220;sporadic meteor&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18990.  
  18991.  
  18992.  
  18993. &lt;p&gt;And an astronomer at the Royal Astronomical Society told The Sun: &amp;#8220;The fact that the meteor lasted long enough to allow the photographer to pick up their phone is significant, and suggests it was larger than average &amp;#8211; though still probably only pebble sized.&lt;/p&gt;
  18994.  
  18995.  
  18996.  
  18997. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was a sporadic meteor by the sound of it, but there are 6 to 10 sporadic meteors seen from a given location &amp;#8211; skies permitting &amp;#8211; every hour, so they&amp;#8217;re not in any sense rare.&lt;/p&gt;

  19018.  
  19019.  
  19020.  
  19021. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The difference here is that the incoming object was larger, so it attracted a lot more attention.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19022.  
  19023.  
  19024.  
  19025. &lt;p&gt;The astronomer said that any reports of green meteors were unconfirmed, but he did acknowledge that &amp;#8220;green meteors are not unusual&amp;#8221; due to colour reflections.&lt;/p&gt;
  19026.  
  19027.  
  19028.  
  19029. &lt;p&gt;It comes as the annual Draconid meteor shower has been reported to be visible this year until October 10.&lt;/p&gt;
  19030.  
  19031.  
  19032.  
  19033. &lt;p&gt;The meteors, which are sometimes referred to as shooting stars, will appear as streaks of light in the evening sky.&lt;/p&gt;
  19034.  
  19035.  
  19036.  
  19037. &lt;p&gt;Meteor showers occur when the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/earth/&quot;&gt;Earth&lt;/a&gt; passes through the debris of a comet or an asteroid.&lt;/p&gt;
  19038.  
  19039.  
  19040.  
  19041. &lt;p&gt;The debris, usually bits of rock or ice, hits the Earth&amp;#8217;s atmosphere and burns up because of the friction, sending light streaks across the night sky.&lt;/p&gt;
  19042.  
  19043.  
  19044.  
  19045. &lt;p&gt;And tonight, the spectacular harvest moon is set to reach its fullest in UK skies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19046.  
  19047.  
  19048.  
  19049. &lt;p&gt;Before the invention of electric lights, farmers relied on the glow of the full moon to finish gathering crops after sunset which explains the origin of the name.&lt;/p&gt;
  19050.  
  19051.  
  19052.  
  19053. &lt;p&gt;The lunar event is particularly significant as it is the first of three consecutive&amp;nbsp;supermoons&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; which occur when a full moon is at its closest point to the Earth. The last was in November 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  19054.  
  19055.  
  19056.  
  19057. &lt;p&gt;The moon tonight is also known as a hunter&amp;#8217;s moon.&lt;/p&gt;
  19058.  
  19059.  
  19060.  
  19061. &lt;p&gt;It is usually the name given to the full moon that comes after the harvest moon &amp;#8211; but on this occasion it occurs at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
  19062.  
  19063.

  19112. &lt;p&gt;The professional dancer, 28, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36940049/mafs-julia-ruth-friends-nightmare-divarni-row/&quot;&gt;was branded a &amp;#8220;nightmare&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; by furious show fans after a trip to her home turf turned sour.&lt;/p&gt;

  19129.  
  19130.  
  19131.  
  19132. &lt;p&gt;Her hubby &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36759686/divarni-married-at-first-sight-contestant-groom&quot;&gt;Divarni&lt;/a&gt;, 29, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36930797/mafs-groom-breaks-down-tears-divarni-julia-ruth/&quot;&gt;broke down during the intense scenes&lt;/a&gt; with her pals at a plush cafe &amp;#8211; leaving &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/e4/&quot;&gt;E4&lt;/a&gt; viewers to speculate the OG &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/married-at-first-sight/&quot;&gt;MAFS&lt;/a&gt; 2025 couple are over for good.&lt;/p&gt;
  19133.  
  19134.  
  19135.  
  19136. &lt;p&gt;The emotional encounter with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36729443/julia-ruth-married-at-first-sight-contestant-bride&quot;&gt;Julia-Ruth&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s nearest and dearest saw her mates called out his &amp;#8220;shouting to communicate.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19137.  
  19138.  
  19139.  
  19140. &lt;p&gt;After he told he had apologised for his conduct and taken &amp;#8220;accountability&amp;#8221; this did not wash &amp;#8211; and he was left holding his head in his hands after being branded &amp;#8220;not normal&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19141.  
  19142.  
  19143.  
  19144. &lt;p&gt;Julia-Ruth has endured a rocky relationship with the London musician from the off, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36834567/mafs-uk-julia-ruth-kicks-divarni-bedroom/&quot;&gt;refusing to even fall asleep in the same room&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;as her husband after finding out about his&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36635927/mafs-uk-grooms-reality-tv-past-revealed-divarni/&quot;&gt;promiscuous past&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19145.  
  19146.  
  19147.  
  19148. &lt;p&gt;Now she has taken to TikTok for a clip addressing her conduct &amp;#8211; and insisting she&amp;#8217;s in stitches all the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  19149.  
  19150.  
  19151.  
  19152. &lt;p&gt;Wearing a green puffa jacket and resting back against a wall she said: &amp;#8220;You know how you guys keep saying you&amp;#8217;re exhausted?&lt;/p&gt;
  19153.  
  19154.  
  19155.  
  19156. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m exhausted watching myself. And it&amp;#8217;s so frustrating because nine times out of 10 I&amp;#8217;m laughing or giggling.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19157.  
  19158.  
  19159.  
  19160. &lt;p&gt;She then told how she had reunited with some of the cast at theme park &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/thorpe-park/&quot;&gt;Thorpe Park&lt;/a&gt; for a press event and added: &amp;#8220;I was laughing.&lt;/p&gt;
  19161.  
  19162.  
  19163.  
  19164. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One of them turned around and looked at me because they recognised my laugh, that is how often I laugh because they turned around and knew who I was.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19165.  
  19166.  
  19167.  
  19168. &lt;p&gt;She then addressed her &amp;#8220;pulling faces&amp;#8221; on the reality series and confessed: &amp;#8220;I think I was just so emotionally drained from constantly having to analyse my feelings.&lt;/p&gt;

  19191.  
  19192. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Constantly having to analyse every situation, constantly having to talk about other couples and relationships and what&amp;#8217;s going on with the drama that&amp;#8217;s going on.&lt;/p&gt;
  19193.  
  19194.  
  19195.  
  19196. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s just quite a lot &amp;#8211; but I was smiling all the time and giggling all the time.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19197.  
  19198.  
  19199.  
  19200. &lt;p&gt;In her caption she then wrote: &amp;#8220;Let&amp;#8217;s all have a nap.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19201.

  19206. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Mafs couples that have stood the test of time&lt;/h3&gt;
  19207. &lt;/div&gt;
  19208. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  19211. &lt;div&gt;
  19212. &lt;p&gt;Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  19213. &lt;p&gt;The pair couldn&amp;#8217;t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam&amp;#8217;s Doncaster home.&lt;/p&gt;
  19214. &lt;p&gt;Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.&lt;/p&gt;
  19215. &lt;p&gt;Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  19216. &lt;p&gt;Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out &amp;#8211; and excited for everything to come.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19217. &lt;p&gt;Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  19218. &lt;p&gt;Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.&lt;/p&gt;
  19219. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.&lt;/p&gt;
  19220. &lt;p&gt;“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’&lt;/p&gt;
  19221. &lt;p&gt;“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19222. &lt;p&gt;Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.&lt;/p&gt;
  19223. &lt;p&gt;Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna&amp;#8217;s vegan lifestyle, the show&amp;#8217;s first same sex pairing are still going strong.&lt;/p&gt;
  19224. &lt;p&gt;They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.&lt;/p&gt;
  19225. &lt;p&gt;Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19226. &lt;/div&gt;
  19227. &lt;/div&gt;
  19228. &lt;/div&gt;
  19230.  
  19231.  
  19232.  
  19233. &lt;p&gt;Yet some fans weren&amp;#8217;t convinced in the comments section and one wrote: &amp;#8220;Girl! We have not seen you and your guy laugh once!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19234.  
  19235.  
  19236.  
  19237. &lt;p&gt;At the start of this year&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/married-at-first-sight/&quot;&gt;Married At First Sight&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;experiment, the couple got off to a great start.&lt;/p&gt;
  19238.  
  19239.  
  19240.  
  19241. &lt;p&gt;They were seen kissing and admitting that they both &amp;#8220;fancied&amp;#8221; each other after their wedding day, but things quickly took a turn.&lt;/p&gt;
  19242.  
  19243.  
  19244.  
  19245. &lt;p&gt;On their honeymoon, Julia-Ruth admitted Divarni was shorter than what she wanted in a guy.&lt;/p&gt;
  19246.  
  19247.  
  19248.  
  19249. &lt;p&gt;She also said he was &amp;#8220;too deep&amp;#8221; and spoke about heavy things &amp;#8211; despite having asked him what his &amp;#8220;deepest fear&amp;#8221; was.&lt;/p&gt;
  19250.  
  19251.  
  19252.  
  19253. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;CAST FEUD&lt;/h2&gt;
  19254.  
  19255.  
  19256.  
  19257. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, MAFS fans were previously convinced &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36872014/mafs-julia-ruth-cast-feud-giveaway-dinner-party-divarni/&quot;&gt;Julia-Ruth was at the heart of a cast feud.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19258.  
  19259.  
  19260.  
  19261. &lt;p&gt;They spotted seemingly telling signs at the first dinner party, as she burst into tears before calling out her spouse.&lt;/p&gt;
  19262.  
  19263.  
  19264.  
  19265. &lt;p&gt;Fans then reckoned she has bad blood with some of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36712329/married-at-first-sight-2025-date-cast-line-up/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the cast&lt;/a&gt; who have seemingly found much better matches.&lt;/p&gt;
  19266.  
  19267.  
  19268.  
  19269. &lt;p&gt;One took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; to write: &amp;#8220;Unless it&amp;#8217;s the camera angle or edit, Julia Ruth doesn&amp;#8217;t look pleased for those who are happy. Still neither does &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36756334/sarah-married-at-first-sight-contestant-bride/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sarah&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19270.  
  19271.  
  19272.  
  19273. &lt;p&gt;A second put: &amp;#8220;They both feel ‘short’ changed, alongside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36726405/anita-married-at-first-sight-contestant-bride/&quot;&gt;Anita&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36740126/leigh-married-at-first-sight-contestant-bride/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Leigh&lt;/a&gt; I suspect.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19274.  
  19275.  
  19276.  
  19277. &lt;p&gt;A third mused: &amp;#8220;Made worse when all of the others appear to have more appropriate matches than her…in her eyes at least.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19278.  
  19279.  
  19280.  
  19281. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Fans have already begged Julia-Ruth to &amp;#8220;run away&amp;#8221; from her spouse &amp;#8211;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36858968/grooms-song-makes-viewers-beg-bride-to-run-away/&quot;&gt;after he performed a song to her&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to try to smooth things over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19282.  
  19283.  
  19284.  
  19285. &lt;p&gt;They also suspected &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/36859674/mafs-julia-ruth-divarni-row-off-camera/&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;something happened&amp;#8221; off-screen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;after the pair appeared to &amp;#8220;switch in behaviour&amp;#8221; following tense scenes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19286.

  19344. &lt;p&gt;KEBABS are no longer just for revellers stumbling out of nightclubs in the early hours.&lt;/p&gt;
  19345.  
  19346.  
  19347.  
  19348. &lt;p&gt;The UK offers a huge variety of kebab-style meals at takeaway shops across Britain and many are upping their game. &lt;/p&gt;
  19349.

  19354.

  19357.  
  19358.  
  19359.  
  19360. &lt;p&gt;She worked at the Michelin-starred River Cafe, where &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jamie-oliver/&quot;&gt;Jamie Oliver&lt;/a&gt; was discovered, and Moro &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/restaurants/&quot;&gt;restaurants&lt;/a&gt; before setting up her own family-friendly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; cafe called The Mudchute Kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
  19361.  
  19362.  
  19363.  
  19364. &lt;p&gt;She now works as a private chef, travelling the world to cook for high-profile clients. &lt;/p&gt;
  19365.  
  19366.  
  19367.  
  19368. &lt;p&gt;But we sent Philippa across Britain in search of the best kebabs.&lt;/p&gt;
  19369.  
  19370.  
  19371.  
  19372. &lt;p&gt;“My biggest joy of this adventure is all the new restaurants popping up that are taking on kebabs,&amp;#8221; she says.&lt;/p&gt;
  19373.  
  19374.  
  19375.  
  19376. &lt;p&gt;“Many modern ones are opening that really understand the cultural heritage of kebabs but there are also some slightly fancier ones where the food is as good as anything you’d get in a classy restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;
  19377.  
  19378.  
  19379.  
  19380. &lt;p&gt;“It was hard to pick just ten, though &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt; was a real strong hotspot in terms of the quality on offer.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19381.  
  19382.  
  19383.  
  19384. &lt;p&gt;Here, she shares her top 10:&lt;/p&gt;
  19385.

  19387.  
  19388. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;1. MATINA&lt;/h2&gt;
  19389.  
  19390.  
  19391.  
  19392. &lt;ul&gt;
  19393. &lt;li&gt;The Glass Arcade, St Nicholas Market, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bristol/&quot;&gt;Bristol&lt;/a&gt;, BS1 1JQ&lt;/li&gt;
  19394. &lt;/ul&gt;
  19395.  
  19396.  
  19397.  
  19398. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36940720&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/kebab-review-philippa-davis-matina-1029605332.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Kebab in a pita with red onion, lettuce, and chicken.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36940720&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Philippa Davis&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;MATINA is located in an old Georgian arcade[/caption]
  19399.  
  19400.  
  19401.  
  19402. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: Set in vibrant St Nicholas Market&amp;#8217;s Georgian arcade with it&amp;#8217;s glass-triangle skylight and blue, white and earth-coloured tiles, Matina feels like a true Middle Eastern market stall.&lt;/p&gt;
  19403.  
  19404.  
  19405.  
  19406. &lt;p&gt; Queues are often long and it&amp;#8217;s easy to see why.&lt;/p&gt;
  19407.  
  19408.  
  19409.  
  19410. &lt;p&gt;Chef&amp;#8217;s hand-stretch and slap your naan before baking to order and then it is passed down the line for dips, sauces and salads before being high with smoky, juicy spiced meat and wrapped tight.&lt;/p&gt;
  19411.  
  19412.  
  19413.  
  19414. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA SAYS: This was my absolute favourite. The queue is always busy, mixed and lively with everyone from yummy mummies to local workmen, in hi-vis jackets standing in line.&lt;/p&gt;
  19415.  
  19416.  
  19417.  
  19418. &lt;p&gt;The naan bread was the star of the show &amp;#8211; soft by slightly crisp and beautifully cooked in a tandoori oven.&lt;/p&gt;
  19419.  
  19420.  
  19421.  
  19422. &lt;p&gt;I said yes to everything, sauces, dips and salads. The home-made sweet chilli sauces is excellent.&lt;/p&gt;
  19423.  
  19424.  
  19425.  
  19426. &lt;p&gt;Overall it was incredible value, too. They nailed every aspect that makes a kebab extraordinary.&lt;/p&gt;
  19427.  
  19428.  
  19429.  
  19430. &lt;p&gt;PHILLIPPA&amp;#8217;S PICK: Char grilled Chicken Naan Wrap (£8.80), which had a well-balanced flavour and a lovely meaty flavour with just the right amount of seasoning. &lt;/p&gt;
  19431.  
  19432.  
  19433.  
  19434. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;2. SQEW&lt;/h2&gt;
  19435.  
  19436.  
  19437.  
  19438. &lt;ul&gt;
  19439. &lt;li&gt;7 Duncan Street, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/leeds/&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt;. LS1 6DQ&lt;/li&gt;
  19440. &lt;/ul&gt;
  19441.  
  19442.  
  19443.  
  19444. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36940723&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/kebab-review-philippa-davis-sqew-1029605250.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;A Sqew kebab wrapped in patterned paper, with one end open showing the filling of meat, vegetables, and sauce.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36940723&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Philippa Davis&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Sqew Kebabs combines flavours from across the Mediterranean[/caption]
  19445.  
  19446.  
  19447.  
  19448. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: Sqew takes inspiration from the rich culinary traditions of the Levant, a region of the eastern Mediterranean that includes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/syria/&quot;&gt;Syria&lt;/a&gt;, Jordan, Lebanon and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/palestine/&quot;&gt;Palestine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19449.  
  19450.  
  19451.  
  19452. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s authentic with ingredients sourced from the Middle East and recipes inspired by the greatest shawarma restaurants in the world. &lt;/p&gt;
  19453.  
  19454.  
  19455.  
  19456. &lt;p&gt;Shawarma &amp;#8211; thinly-sliced, spiced meat &amp;#8211; is served on flatbread with salads and sauces.&lt;/p&gt;
  19457.  
  19458.  
  19459.  
  19460. &lt;p&gt;PHILLIPA SAYS: It was a joy to watch the meat slowly turning, juices dripping and to smell the aromas in this Leeds restaurant, which is fresh clean, bright and buzzing with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy/&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19461.  
  19462.  
  19463.  
  19464. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s as mouthwatering selection of sauces and salads including tahini, pomegranate molasses, hot harrisa, parsley and sumac onion, pickled cabbage, cucumbers and tomatoes. &lt;/p&gt;
  19465.  
  19466.  
  19467.  
  19468. &lt;p&gt;If you want extra carbs you can pay extra to tuck a few few fries into the wrap, though its already plenty full. &lt;/p&gt;
  19469.  
  19470.  
  19471.  
  19472. &lt;p&gt;The wrap is particularly neat and tight and has the textbook twisted paper top, so when it opens it bursts with spicy aromatics.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19473.  
  19474.  
  19475.  
  19476. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA’S PICK: Lamb Shawarma Wrap (Prices start at £6.90) and the tangy pomegranate molasses sauce really stood out too.&lt;/p&gt;
  19477.  
  19478.  
  19479.  
  19480. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;3. FALAFEL GUYS&lt;/h2&gt;
  19481.  
  19482.  
  19483.  
  19484. &lt;ul&gt;
  19485. &lt;li&gt;47 Briggate, Leeds. LS1 6HF&lt;/li&gt;
  19486. &lt;/ul&gt;
  19487.  
  19488.  
  19489.  
  19490. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36940730&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/kebab-review-philippa-davis-falafel-1029605334.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;A falafel kebab from Falafel Guys, with white sauce, red chili sauce, and brown sauce on a flatbread.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36940730&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Philippa Davis&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Falafel Guys is located in the heart of Leeds[/caption]
  19491.  
  19492.  
  19493.  
  19494. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: Very cool location down the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/steps/&quot;&gt;steps&lt;/a&gt; of an old school turned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/beer/&quot;&gt;beer&lt;/a&gt; hall. Inside the red-brick walls and ceiling lined with dangling tin pendant lights creates an easy going effortlessly cool vibe. &lt;/p&gt;
  19495.  
  19496.  
  19497.  
  19498. &lt;p&gt;There are long tables with benches for groups as well as more nooks and crannies for a more intimate experience in the mezzanine, speakeasy and &amp;#8216;cinema&amp;#8217; areas.&lt;/p&gt;
  19499.  
  19500.  
  19501.  
  19502. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA SAYS: A masterpiece wrapped in a simple piece of paper. It looked very simple wrapped in a plain paper but when unwrapped this meal really revealed its magic.&lt;/p&gt;
  19503.  
  19504.  
  19505.  
  19506. &lt;p&gt;The bread was satisfyingly chew and tender but stable enough to hold everything in, which is where many &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fail/&quot;&gt;fail&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19507.  
  19508.  
  19509.  
  19510. &lt;p&gt;It had not one but three types of hummus, smoked charcoal using hickory, original and a fun bright &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pink/&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/a&gt; beetroot option.&lt;/p&gt;
  19511.  
  19512.  
  19513.  
  19514. &lt;p&gt; Each one added earthy tones to my wrap and balanced the richness of the gorgeous garlic mayo. &lt;/p&gt;
  19515.  
  19516.  
  19517.  
  19518. &lt;p&gt;The chicken was tender and flavourful and I loved the bright fruity notes from the pomegranate molasses which added some zine and lifted the entire dish. &lt;/p&gt;
  19519.  
  19520.  
  19521.  
  19522. &lt;p&gt;Text-book squeaky halloumi.&lt;/p&gt;
  19523.  
  19524.  
  19525.  
  19526. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA’S PICK: I loved the Chicken Shawarma and Halloumi Wrap (£9.45) or choose a kebab made with locally-brewed Faith, a light, fruity, refreshing modern pale ale with a touch of hops affectionately known as the ‘Champagne of the North.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  19527.  
  19528.  
  19529.  
  19530. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;4. BAB NQ&lt;/h2&gt;
  19531.  
  19532.  
  19533.  
  19534. &lt;ul&gt;
  19535. &lt;li&gt;14 Little Lever Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester. M1 1HR&lt;/li&gt;
  19536. &lt;/ul&gt;
  19537.  
  19538.  
  19539.  
  19540. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36935610&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/msemail_bab-14-little-lever-streetjpg-JS1029559113.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;The exterior of Bab restaurant in Manchester with a brick facade and white and green accents.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36935610&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Bab is a smart looking restaurant in the Northen Quarter of Manchester&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  19541.  
  19542.  
  19543.  
  19544. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LODWON: The restaurant has a clean, fresh look with leafy-green coloured tiles and a soft plum toned work, cool modern bare hanging lights and a mix of counter, high tables and regular seating. &lt;/p&gt;
  19545.  
  19546.  
  19547.  
  19548. &lt;p&gt;Overall , a fun, friendly energy and knowledge staff. &lt;/p&gt;
  19549.  
  19550.  
  19551.  
  19552. &lt;p&gt;The menu consists of mezze, snack and mains which include &amp;#8216;Bab&amp;#8217; style kebabs or open babs with salads and sauces. &lt;/p&gt;

  19557.  
  19558.  
  19559.  
  19560. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA SAYS: I tried the Harissa and Pomgerantate Lamb baba with salad, minted mayo and a generous helping of fires and it was sensational. &lt;/p&gt;
  19561.  
  19562.  
  19563.  
  19564. &lt;p&gt;The lamb is slow cooked with spice, yogurt and herbs, then shredded. Super tender with a real depth of flavour. &lt;/p&gt;
  19565.  
  19566.  
  19567.  
  19568. &lt;p&gt;There are about 12 sauces to choose from and wrap itself was chewy yet pliable and served flat.&lt;/p&gt;
  19569.  
  19570.  
  19571.  
  19572. &lt;p&gt;Philippa’s pick: Harissa and Pomegranate Lamb Bab with salad, minted mayo and fries, which was excellent value as a £10 lunch special. &lt;/p&gt;
  19573.  
  19574.  
  19575.  
  19576. &lt;p&gt;There are also some good veggie options including Broccoli and Za’atar Chickpeas Bab and the Tandoori Roasted Cauliflower Bab.&lt;/p&gt;

  19593.  
  19594. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: Set on lively Caroline Street in Cardiff, Greek Village is casual and friendly with easygoing charm.&lt;/p&gt;
  19595.  
  19596.  
  19597.  
  19598. &lt;p&gt;Inside, whitewashed chairs and ship wheels on the wall nod to a Greek nautical theme. &lt;/p&gt;
  19599.  
  19600.  
  19601.

  19607.  
  19608.  
  19609.  
  19610. &lt;p&gt;Tender, flavourful rich meat with just the right amount of fat all thinly sliced and stuffed inside a loosely rolled pitta with fries, crisp lettuce, tomato and red onion.&lt;/p&gt;

  19619.  
  19620.  
  19621.  
  19622. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA’S PICK: Pork gyros wrap with tzatziki (£8). The Avarino Greek white &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wine/&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt; was also a great pick and good value at only £5.&lt;/p&gt;

  19637.  
  19638.  
  19639.  
  19640. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: This place on Manchester famous Curry Mile nestles into the neon lights, sizzling grills&amp;nbsp; and spice-laden air. &lt;/p&gt;
  19641.  
  19642.  
  19643.  
  19644. &lt;p&gt;The interior has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bollywood/&quot;&gt;Bollywood&lt;/a&gt; vibes &amp;#8211; a playful design, yellow-faded posters, garlands, and tabletops covered in old newspaper clippings (including one about Ed Sheeran’s visit).&lt;/p&gt;
  19645.  
  19646.  
  19647.  
  19648. &lt;p&gt;There is a semi-open kitchen so you can watch chefs squeeze the seasoned meat onto skewers and char it expertly over the glowing coals. &lt;/p&gt;
  19649.  
  19650.  
  19651.  
  19652. &lt;p&gt;Expect Indian, Seekh kebab with spiced minced lamb or chicken pressed onto skewers and grilled over hot coals.&lt;/p&gt;
  19653.  
  19654.  
  19655.  
  19656. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA SAYS: I tried both lamb and chicken seekh and as is Indian tradition it was served with a lemon wedge, not wrapped in bread.&lt;/p&gt;
  19657.  
  19658.  
  19659.  
  19660. &lt;p&gt;I added to my order a sharp red onion salad, raita topped with crispy boondi puffs and a garlic naan &amp;#8211; which was exceptional &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp;light, fluffy, crisp-edged and garlicky, possibly one of the best I’ve had.&lt;/p&gt;
  19661.  
  19662.  
  19663.  
  19664. &lt;p&gt;Fun, delicious, and very repeatable. I’d go back in a heartbeat.&lt;/p&gt;
  19665.  
  19666.  
  19667.  
  19668. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA’S PICK: Chicken or Lamb Seekh Kebab (£8.50) with garlic naan (£4.30) which was pricey but light, crispy and one of the best I’ve ever eaten.&lt;/p&gt;
  19669.

  19683.  
  19684.  
  19685.  
  19686. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: A lively, characterful spot tucked away on King Street serving Shawarma marinated meat with flatbread, salads, pickles and sauces. &lt;/p&gt;
  19687.  
  19688.  
  19689.  
  19690. &lt;p&gt;Three glowing spits turn behind the counter.&lt;/p&gt;
  19691.  
  19692.  
  19693.  
  19694. &lt;p&gt;Bread is made to order, dough slapped and stretched, fired in the tandoor, then pressed and finished crisp with golden bubbles. &lt;/p&gt;
  19695.  
  19696.  
  19697.  
  19698. &lt;p&gt;The chefs work with precision, expertly carving the juicy meat with long, sharp knives.&lt;/p&gt;
  19699.  
  19700.  
  19701.  
  19702. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA SAYS: A very old-school looking takeaway under a railway bridge with just a couple of seats outside, but they really nailed the food. &lt;/p&gt;
  19703.  
  19704.  
  19705.  
  19706. &lt;p&gt;A real clever touch, at Shawarma King they rub fresh bread over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-tower/&quot;&gt;the tower&lt;/a&gt; as it cooks adding an extra layer of flavour. &lt;/p&gt;
  19707.  
  19708.  
  19709.  
  19710. &lt;p&gt;This is simple but effective. The lamb was sensational &amp;#8211; deeply flavoured, tender and succulent. &lt;/p&gt;
  19711.  
  19712.  
  19713.  
  19714. &lt;p&gt;Every bite was juicy, crunchy, fresh and sharp. It’s the sort of food that leaves a group in rare silence.&lt;/p&gt;
  19715.  
  19716.  
  19717.  
  19718. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA’S PICK: The Lamb Shawarma Wrap with all the pickles and sauces (£7.50), which was incredible value given the size and flavour.&lt;/p&gt;
  19719.

  19733.  
  19734.  
  19735.  
  19736. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: Le Bab sits on the top floor of Kingly Court in Soho, a lively spot abundant with good restaurants. &lt;/p&gt;
  19737.  
  19738.  
  19739.  
  19740. &lt;p&gt;The owners say they apply ‘Michelin credentials’ on kebabs.&lt;/p&gt;
  19741.  
  19742.  
  19743.  
  19744. &lt;p&gt;It serves modern Middle Eastern food, including Shish kebabs with contemporary sauces and pickles as well as mezze. &lt;/p&gt;
  19745.  
  19746.  
  19747.  
  19748. &lt;p&gt;Ingredients are carefully chosen, ethical and sustainable &amp;#8211; a menu like you’ve never tried before.&lt;/p&gt;
  19749.  
  19750.  
  19751.  
  19752. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA SAYS: Although there are many famous kebab joints in London, I tried a few and was left disappointed. &lt;/p&gt;
  19753.  
  19754.  
  19755.  
  19756. &lt;p&gt;Edgware Road and Green Lanes have lots of popular haunts but I love what Le Bab are doing and they are focus on ethical meat. &lt;/p&gt;
  19757.  
  19758.  
  19759.  
  19760. &lt;p&gt;They are also the same price or cheaper than many rivals.&lt;/p&gt;
  19761.  
  19762.  
  19763.  
  19764. &lt;p&gt;Inside you are squeezed on to a small table (it is central London after all) where you get to admire the swirly blue, white and green tiles on the walls and you can see the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky/&quot;&gt;sky&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19765.  
  19766.  
  19767.  
  19768. &lt;p&gt; Loved the counter bar which curves around &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-open/&quot;&gt;the open&lt;/a&gt; kitchen and you get a great view of the flames flickering on the grill. They play an upbeat soundtrack. &lt;/p&gt;
  19769.  
  19770.  
  19771.  
  19772. &lt;p&gt;It’s very cheffy but not pretentious. &lt;/p&gt;
  19773.  
  19774.  
  19775.  
  19776. &lt;p&gt;It’s a small, busy kitchen that sends out generous and colourful plates of food. The quality of the lamb shines through.&lt;/p&gt;
  19777.  
  19778.  
  19779.  
  19780. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA’S PICK: The ‘Dirty Bab’ (£16.50), chargrilled &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dorset/&quot;&gt;Dorset&lt;/a&gt; lamb chump steak served with pickled cucumber, chilli sauce, sweet-chilli mayo, chimichurri, double-cooked fries, lamb’s lettuce, and a fondue sauce on the side.&lt;/p&gt;
  19781.  
  19782.  
  19783.  
  19784. &lt;p&gt; It arrives as a beautiful, abundant plate, piled high with quality British lamb and ribbons of sauce. &lt;/p&gt;
  19785.  
  19786.  
  19787.  
  19788. &lt;p&gt;The lamb is tender and deeply flavoured, the fondue is an indulgent, tangy, cheesy twist, purists may balk, but it works.&lt;/p&gt;
  19789.  
  19790.  
  19791.  
  19792. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;9. TZATZIKI (at The Queen Edith Pub)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;

  19803.  
  19804.  
  19805.  
  19806. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: A true hidden gem operating from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/the-queen-2/&quot;&gt;The Queen&lt;/a&gt; Edith’s kitchen. &lt;/p&gt;
  19807.  
  19808.  
  19809.  
  19810. &lt;p&gt;From outside it’s a cosy, old-school shabby-cosy pub with drink mats on the wall and regulars at the bar, but the Greek &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cooking/&quot;&gt;cooking&lt;/a&gt; is outstanding.&lt;/p&gt;
  19811.  
  19812.  
  19813.  
  19814. &lt;p&gt; Souvlaki skewered cubes of marinated meat cooked over charcoal, served in pitta with salad, sauces and often chips tucked inside.&lt;/p&gt;
  19815.  
  19816.  
  19817.  
  19818. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA SAYS: A warm, casual and lively restaurant serving better Greek food than I’ve had in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/greece/&quot;&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  19819.  
  19820.  
  19821.  
  19822. &lt;p&gt;The menu is enticing and it’s hard to pick just one meal.&amp;nbsp; I tried both chicken and lamb souvlaki and each was excellent.&lt;/p&gt;
  19823.  
  19824.  
  19825.  
  19826. &lt;p&gt;Both came with a great ration of salad, chips and meat and the pitta held it all together beautifully. &lt;/p&gt;
  19827.  
  19828.  
  19829.  
  19830. &lt;p&gt;But I’d love to go back for the flatbread with Greek sausage, tomato sauce, Gouda, olive mayonnaise&amp;#8217;s and hot honey. &lt;/p&gt;
  19831.  
  19832.  
  19833.  
  19834. &lt;p&gt;There are lots of loaded fries options too, with mushrooms, chicken or slow roasted pork.&lt;/p&gt;
  19835.  
  19836.  
  19837.  
  19838. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA’S PICK: The lamb kofta souvlaki (£11) is the star of the show here though the halloumi side was outstanding, crispy on the outside, creamy within and not overly salty. &lt;/p&gt;
  19839.  
  19840.  
  19841.  
  19842. &lt;p&gt;For dessert, loukoumades (£6.50), a huge portion of nine golf-ball-sized honeyed doughnuts, crisp outside, chewy inside, lightly cinnamon-spiced, is hard to resist.&lt;/p&gt;
  19843.

  19857.  
  19858.  
  19859.  
  19860. &lt;p&gt;LOCAL LOWDOWN: American diner energy with baby-blue tiles, pops of red and fun neon signs such as ‘order here’ and ‘that’s a wrap’. &lt;/p&gt;
  19861.  
  19862.  
  19863.  
  19864. &lt;p&gt;Order at automated tills and collect from the neon-lit till point when your number is called. &lt;/p&gt;
  19865.  
  19866.  
  19867.  
  19868. &lt;p&gt;Turkish doner kebabs with vertically roasted meat shaved thin by a robot, served with salads and sauces.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19869.  
  19870.  
  19871.  
  19872. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA SAYS: Delicious, consistent in the quality of the food and family friendly. &lt;/p&gt;
  19873.  
  19874.  
  19875.  
  19876. &lt;p&gt;The machine slices uniform, very thin meat and though the beef was fairly mild in flavour there was lots of it. &lt;/p&gt;
  19877.  
  19878.  
  19879.  
  19880. &lt;p&gt;The salads are crunchy, colourful and crowd pleasing. All served in a large oval bread pocket, which was so stuffed full it feels generous.&lt;/p&gt;
  19881.  
  19882.  
  19883.  
  19884. &lt;p&gt;PHILIPPA’S PICK: The Beef Doner Wrap (£8.90) served in Turkish pitta with GBD sauce and garlic and herb sauce, which really added some zing.&lt;/p&gt;

  19928.  
  19929. &lt;p&gt;MILLIONS of pensioners will be hit with £300 tax bills issued by HMRC this winter. &lt;/p&gt;
  19930.  
  19931.  
  19932.  
  19933. &lt;p&gt;From November, around nine million pensioners will begin to see up to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36915986/thousands-pensioners-apply-bill-help-winter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;£300 land in their bank accounts&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; but not everyone is entitled to the payout.&lt;/p&gt;

  19938.  
  19939.  
  19940.  
  19941. &lt;p&gt;The cash boost is part of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36593006/pensioner-winter-fuel-payment-dwp/&quot;&gt;Winter Fuel Payment&lt;/a&gt;, a benefit issued by the DWP to help elderly people with fuel costs over the colder months.&lt;/p&gt;
  19942.  
  19943.  
  19944.  
  19945. &lt;p&gt;The £300 payment &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30511928/winter-fuel-payment-new-energy-bill-help-coming/&quot;&gt;was axed for millions of pensioners&lt;/a&gt; last winter, with only those on certain &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt; qualifying for it.&lt;/p&gt;
  19946.  
  19947.  
  19948.  
  19949. &lt;p&gt;However, the move triggered a massive backlash for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; as some 10million pensioners lost their winter fuel allowance in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/36805852/should-only-british-citizens-get-benefits-vote-now/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;benefit&lt;/a&gt; cut.&lt;/p&gt;
  19950.  
  19951.  
  19952.  
  19953. &lt;p&gt;It saved the Treasury just £1.4billion but caused a huge public outcry.&lt;/p&gt;
  19954.  
  19955.  
  19956.  
  19957. &lt;p&gt;The government later cracked under pressure and was forced to perform a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35053153/keir-starmer-u-turns-on-winter-fuel-cuts-making-more-pensioners-eligible-for-vital-payments/&quot;&gt;half-baked U-turn.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19958.  
  19959.  
  19960.  
  19961. &lt;p&gt;Most pensioners are now eligible for the support, which is worth between £100 and £300.&lt;/p&gt;
  19962.  
  19963.  
  19964.  
  19965. &lt;p&gt;However, if your income is more than £35,000, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hmrc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;HMRC&lt;/a&gt; will take the money back.&lt;/p&gt;
  19966.  
  19967.  
  19968.  
  19969. &lt;p&gt;Your income can come from a range of factors including your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35681544/boost-pension-pot-consolidate-easy/&quot;&gt;private pension&lt;/a&gt; and state benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  19970.  
  19971.  
  19972.  
  19973. &lt;p&gt;If you fall into this earnings category, you can opt out of payments. &lt;/p&gt;
  19974.  
  19975.  
  19976.  
  19977. &lt;p&gt;It has been estimated that around two million pensioners will have to pay the benefit back in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36934348/tax-raids-rachel-reeves-households-autumn-budget-experts/&quot;&gt;tax&lt;/a&gt; due to the changes, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/articles/c1l8104321mo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;according&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/articles/c1l8104321mo&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; t (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; t&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/articles/c1l8104321mo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;o the BBC&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  20001. &lt;p&gt;But the deadline to do so &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36707031/households-that-wont-receive-winter-fuel-payments/&quot;&gt;ended on September 15&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20002.  
  20003.  
  20004.  
  20005. &lt;p&gt;An HMRC spokesperson told the BBC: “The vast majority of people who need to pay back a Winter Fuel Payment will do so automatically via their tax code. &lt;/p&gt;
  20006.  
  20007.  
  20008.  
  20009. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For those already registered for Self Assessment, it will be collected via their tax return.&lt;/p&gt;
  20010.  
  20011.  
  20012.  
  20013. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve provided online guidance clearly explaining how recovery of payments works, and a calculator so people can see if they’ll need to pay back the payment.”&lt;/p&gt;
  20014.  
  20015.  
  20016.  
  20017. &lt;p&gt;The Sun has approached HMRC for comment. &lt;/p&gt;
  20018.  
  20019.  
  20020.  
  20021. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What happens now? &lt;/h2&gt;
  20022.  
  20023.  
  20024.  
  20025. &lt;p&gt;If you did not opt out, HMRC will change your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36832986/tax-codes-payslips-hmrc-refund-check-due/&quot;&gt;tax code&lt;/a&gt; and you will receive a tax code notice letter.&lt;/p&gt;
  20026.  
  20027.  
  20028.  
  20029. &lt;p&gt;Changing your tax code means that your Winter Fuel Payment will be deducted from your income and paid to HMRC in monthly instalments.&lt;/p&gt;
  20030.  
  20031.  
  20032.  
  20033. &lt;p&gt;So for example, if you received a £100 Winter Fuel Payment but had an income of £35,000, you will pay back around £9 every month.&lt;/p&gt;
  20034.  
  20035.  
  20036.  
  20037. &lt;p&gt;You will be charged from April 2026, which is the start of the new tax year.&lt;/p&gt;
  20038.  
  20039.  
  20040.  
  20041. &lt;p&gt;Households can check if they are over the income thresholds by visiting www.tax.service.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-hmrc-will-take-back-your-winter-payment/start/country.&lt;/p&gt;
  20042.  
  20043.  
  20044.  
  20045. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How to opt out of future charges&lt;/h2&gt;
  20046.  
  20047.  
  20048.  
  20049. &lt;p&gt;The deadline for opting out of the Winter Fuel Payment for 2025 to 2026 has passed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  20050.  
  20051.  
  20052.  
  20053. &lt;p&gt;But you can opt out of getting the benefit for 2026 to 2027 from April 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
  20054.  
  20055.  
  20056.  
  20057. &lt;p&gt;When it reopens, you will need to complete either an online form or phone the helpline on 0800 731 0160.&lt;/p&gt;
  20058.  
  20059.  
  20060.  
  20061. &lt;p&gt;If you opt to complete the form online, you will need details such as your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/10394854/national-insurance-rates-pay-earn/&quot;&gt;National Insurance&lt;/a&gt; number.&lt;/p&gt;
  20062.  
  20063.  
  20064.  
  20065. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Who is not eligible for the payment?&lt;/h2&gt;
  20066.  
  20067.  
  20068.  
  20069. &lt;p&gt;You can get a Winter Fuel Payment if you were born before September 22 1959 and live in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/wales/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20070.  
  20071.  
  20072.  
  20073. &lt;p&gt;But a small group of individuals will not be eligible, including:&lt;/p&gt;
  20074.  
  20075.  
  20076.  
  20077. &lt;ul&gt;
  20078. &lt;li&gt;live outside England and Wales&lt;/li&gt;
  20079.  
  20080.  
  20081.  
  20082. &lt;li&gt;were in hospital getting free treatment for the whole of the week of 15 to 21 September 2025 and the year before that&lt;/li&gt;
  20083.  
  20084.  
  20085.  
  20086. &lt;li&gt;need permission to enter the UK and your granted leave says that you cannot claim public funds&lt;/li&gt;
  20087.  
  20088.  
  20089.  
  20090. &lt;li&gt;were in prison for the whole of the week of 15 to 21 September 2025&lt;/li&gt;
  20091. &lt;/ul&gt;
  20092.  
  20093.  
  20094.  
  20095. &lt;p&gt;Most people are paid the benefit automatically but if you think you are at risk of missing out you can apply.&lt;/p&gt;
  20096.  
  20097.  
  20098.

  20106. YOU can use a benefits calculator to help check that you are not missing out on money you are entitled to &lt;/p&gt;
  20108. &lt;div&gt;
  20109. &lt;p&gt;Charity &lt;a href=&quot;https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Turn2Us&amp;#8217; benefits calculator&lt;/a&gt; works out what you could get.&lt;/p&gt;

  20111. &lt;p&gt;MoneySavingExpert.com and charity StepChange both have benefits tools powered by Entitledto&amp;#8217;s data.&lt;/p&gt;
  20112. &lt;p&gt;You can use &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Policy in Practice's calculator (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.betteroffcalculator.co.uk/login&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Policy in Practice&amp;#8217;s calculator&lt;/a&gt; to determine which benefits you could receive and how much cash you&amp;#8217;ll have left over each month after paying for housing costs.&lt;/p&gt;
  20113. &lt;p&gt;Your exact entitlement will only be clear when you make a claim, but calculators can indicate what you might be eligible for.&lt;/p&gt;
  20114. &lt;/div&gt;

  20345. &lt;p&gt;Fans rave about this free and little-known Christmas fair, with one visitor saying: &amp;#8220;We go to it every year, and it’s brilliant.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20346.  
  20347.  
  20348.  
  20349. &lt;p&gt;Live bands, carol singers and stilt walkers roam through its lanes while stands offer local produce and hot chocolate. &lt;/p&gt;
  20350.  
  20351.  
  20352.  
  20353. &lt;p&gt;There are only two weekends to catch this market, so be sure to make the most of it. &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  20421.

  20424. &lt;p&gt;Graham Stack &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31287829/graham-stack-drive-coach-invincible-pennant/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;who spent six seasons as an Arsenal goalkeeper&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; is organising the charity boxing event.&lt;/p&gt;
  20425.  
  20426.  
  20427.  
  20428. &lt;p&gt;And he feared Bentley would get lost in the Marbella sauce after approaching the maverick midfielder to fight on the card. &lt;/p&gt;
  20429.  
  20430.  
  20431.  
  20432. &lt;p&gt;Stack, 44, told SunSport: &amp;#8220;I must say I was blown away by it. I asked Bents, and he said, &amp;#8216;Yeah, I&amp;#8217;m in.&amp;#8217; He said, &amp;#8216;No problem.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  20433.  
  20434.  
  20435.  
  20436. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I said, &amp;#8216;No Bents, you realise that once you&amp;#8217;ve committed, you&amp;#8217;ve committed and there&amp;#8217;s sort of no turning back on this.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  20437.  
  20438.  
  20439.  
  20440. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was like &amp;#8216;Stacky, put me down.&amp;#8217; And then I couldn&amp;#8217;t get hold of him for about a month! &lt;/p&gt;
  20441.  
  20442.  
  20443.  
  20444. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I found out he was on a yacht and on a boat and he was in Marbella and he was partying and I thought, &amp;#8216;He&amp;#8217;s gonna let me down.&lt;/p&gt;
  20445.  
  20446.  
  20447.  
  20448. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But Bents is true to his word, he&amp;#8217;s not letting me down, he&amp;#8217;s committed to it completely and he&amp;#8217;s training really hard.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20449.  
  20450.  
  20451.  
  20452. &lt;p&gt;Bentley &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31201018/gary-neville-man-utd-bentley-story/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;who retired from football at just 29 &amp;#8211;&lt;/a&gt; co-owns a bar in Marbella.&lt;/p&gt;

  20464. &lt;p&gt;But now he is being trained by former professional boxer Kevin Mitchell &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36923101/spurs-jody-morris-chelsea-boxing-david-bentley/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;for his derby bout against Morris.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20465.

  20467.  
  20468. &lt;p&gt;And the dad-of-four revealed his youngest daughter is fearing the worst &amp;#8211; while wife Kimberly is buzzing to see the 41-year-old back in shape. &lt;/p&gt;

  20492. &lt;p&gt;Bentley said: &amp;#8220;My little one was crying a bit, &amp;#8216;You&amp;#8217;re not boxing!&amp;#8217; But it&amp;#8217;s life, isn&amp;#8217;t it? Life&amp;#8217;s a big fight and you got to keep going.&lt;/p&gt;
  20493.  
  20494.  
  20495.  
  20496. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So getting in the ring, I&amp;#8217;m looking forward to it. Yeah, the kids are all right. They&amp;#8217;ve come round to it.&lt;/p&gt;
  20497.  
  20498.  
  20499.  
  20500. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My missus be happy, getting a bit fitter, get rid of the derby! The old &amp;#8220;dad bod&amp;#8221;. But yeah, getting a bit fitter now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20501.  
  20502.  
  20503.  
  20504. &lt;p&gt;Bentley &amp;#8211; who came up at Arsenal with Stack &amp;#8211; signed for Spurs in 2008 and spent six seasons with the North London side. &lt;/p&gt;
  20505.  
  20506.  
  20507.  
  20508. &lt;p&gt;Morris meanwhile was at Chelsea&amp;#8217;s academy before making his debut in 1996 &amp;#8211; spending seven years at the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  20509.  
  20510.  
  20511.  
  20512. &lt;p&gt;He played alongside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/john-terry/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;John Terry&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/frank-lampard/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Frank Lampard&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; who he also returned to the Blues with as a coach. &lt;/p&gt;
  20513.  
  20514.  
  20515.  
  20516. &lt;p&gt;So the London bragging rights will be on the line as Bentley said: &amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;ll have a full support when they bring the old Chelsea firm with him, won&amp;#8217;t they?&lt;/p&gt;
  20517.  
  20518.  
  20519.  
  20520. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But don&amp;#8217;t worry, I&amp;#8217;ve got all the old Tottenham North London with me!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20521.  
  20522.  
  20523.  
  20524. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere on the card is Curtis Davies vs Paddy Kenny, Leroy Lita vs David Noble, Lee Trundle vs Anthony Gardner and Greg Halford vs Marvin Elliott.&lt;/p&gt;

  20581. &lt;p&gt;TENNIS star Holger Rune blasted “do you want a player to die on court?” as he called for a major rule change.&lt;/p&gt;
  20582.  
  20583.  
  20584.  
  20585. &lt;p&gt;The Dane was left struggling for fitness while playing at the Shanghai Masters this week.&lt;/p&gt;

  20594.

  20597. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35710763/wimbledon-holger-rune-shop-racquets-babolat/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rune&lt;/a&gt; had to be treated by a doctor and a physio as temperatures hit 34C in yesterday’s win over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.&lt;/p&gt;
  20598.  
  20599.  
  20600.  
  20601. &lt;p&gt;Humidity also hit 80 per cent on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/tennis/&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; court.&lt;/p&gt;
  20602.  
  20603.  
  20604.  
  20605. &lt;p&gt;And Rune was left fuming with officials as he asked one: “Do you want a player to die on court?”&lt;/p&gt;
  20606.  
  20607.  
  20608.  
  20609. &lt;p&gt;The ace’s anger came as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36923095/novak-djokovic-jannik-sinner-shanghai-masters/&quot;&gt;Novak Djokovic vomited on court&lt;/a&gt; while complaining about Shanghai’s “brutal conditions.”&lt;/p&gt;
  20610.  
  20611.  
  20612.  
  20613. &lt;p&gt;Jannik Sinner was forced to retire after being left with painful cramps affecting his ability to walk.&lt;/p&gt;
  20614.  
  20615.  
  20616.  
  20617. &lt;p&gt;Conditions were similar 500 miles west at the Wuhan Open, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/36930524/emma-raducanu-retires-wuhan-open-blood-pressure-check/&quot;&gt;Emma Raducanu retiring from her match with dizziness after having her blood pressure checked on court&lt;/a&gt; and Jelena Ostapenko quitting due to heat stroke.&lt;/p&gt;
  20618.  
  20619.  
  20620.  
  20621. &lt;p&gt;After his match, Rune asked why there were no heat rules in place to protect players in ATP matches.&lt;/p&gt;
  20622.  
  20623.  
  20624.  
  20625. &lt;p&gt;Grand Slam tournaments allow players to take a 10-minute break before the final set in hot conditions, while play can also be suspended.&lt;/p&gt;
  20626.  
  20627.  
  20628.  
  20629. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32916258/best-free-bets-sign-up-offers-uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20630.  
  20631.  
  20632.  
  20633. &lt;p&gt;But no such conditions were available in Shanghai.&lt;/p&gt;
  20634.  
  20635.  
  20636.  
  20637. &lt;p&gt;Rune said: “It’s a very good question. Every player would agree (to a rule change).&lt;/p&gt;

  20730. &lt;p&gt;THE British Museum has been slammed for releasing a &amp;#8220;self-loathing&amp;#8221; poem about racism in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  20731.  
  20732.  
  20733.  
  20734. &lt;p&gt;To mark National Poetry Day, actor Elander Moore performed his poem The Ballad of Joe Bloggs, which was shared on the museum&amp;#8217;s social channels.&lt;/p&gt;

  20752.  
  20753.  
  20754. &lt;p&gt;The Sun&amp;#8217;s editor-at-large in the US pulled up the choice of poem on his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youtube/&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; show &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/harry-cole-saves-the-west/&quot;&gt;Harry Cole Saves the West&lt;/a&gt; yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  20755.  
  20756.  
  20757.  
  20758. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;Why do the West have to continually flagellate, apologise and dismiss the past &amp;#8211; and play these woke videos?&lt;/p&gt;
  20759.  
  20760.  
  20761.  
  20762. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not just in Britain, it&amp;#8217;s in America as well &amp;#8211; the Smithsonians ripped up displays and inserted all sorts of caveats into their collections.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20763.  
  20764.  
  20765.  
  20766. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s obvious the controversy this is going to cause and the anger.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20767.  
  20768.  
  20769.  
  20770. &lt;p&gt;Mr Cole asked: &amp;#8220;Is this a helpful debate to be having? Using rape and pillaging and stealing, and chavs and gammons.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20771.  
  20772.  
  20773.  
  20774. &lt;p&gt;The poem ironically takes the perspective of an apparent typical Brit, referring to chavs, housewives and bankers, and describes &amp;#8220;foreigners falling from the &lt;span id=&quot;05c2a830-95a0-40e3-afb4-c39a679cea73&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;sky&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8221; who come to &amp;#8220;scrub our toilets and rob us blind&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20775.  
  20776.  
  20777.  
  20778. &lt;p&gt;It says such immigrants have come to &amp;#8220;take what&amp;#8217;s rightfully theirs&amp;#8221;, arriving on &amp;#8220;orange boats&amp;#8221;, adding: &amp;#8220;Invasion is their master plan.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20779.  
  20780.  
  20781.  
  20782. &lt;p&gt;Such statements are made while the narrator also speaks naively of Britain having never done anything wrong in its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt;, exclaiming: &amp;#8220;Never meant to pillage, rape and steal&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20783.

  20786. &lt;p&gt;John Woodcock, Lord Walney, the Government&amp;#8217;s former adviser on extremism, told Mr Cole: &amp;#8220;I think you can always have the odd bit in there to generate controversy but the trend is, as you say, relentlessly doing down our own country.&amp;#8221;     &lt;/p&gt;

  20790. &lt;p&gt;American political commentator Adrienne Gray said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s also art for art&amp;#8217;s sake, but when does it go too far?&lt;/p&gt;

  20814. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We see this in American culture a lot too, with a lot of the American brands (re-branding to not cause offence) who end up getting a lot of publicity out of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  20815.  
  20816.  
  20817.  
  20818. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re kind of over it, these culture wars are pushing it really far.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20819.  
  20820.  
  20821.  
  20822. &lt;p&gt;Peer Ed Vaizey said of the bosses at the British Museum: &amp;#8220;Sometimes when middle aged men want to be hip and trendy, they can sometimes miss the &lt;span id=&quot;98d40741-e4a3-4941-b0ce-0ea0aeb41233&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;target&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20823.  
  20824.  
  20825.  
  20826. &lt;p&gt;However, he went on to say: &amp;#8220;The British Museum has one big presence in the UK in terms of celebrating world civilisation, but there are other perspectives. &lt;/p&gt;
  20827.  
  20828.  
  20829.  
  20830. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was perhaps being brave to allow that perspective to be aired.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  20831.  
  20832.  
  20833.  
  20834. &lt;p&gt;Times journalist Ian Martin said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m going to surprise you, I kind of broadly agree with him (Lord Vaizey). &lt;/p&gt;
  20835.  
  20836.  
  20837.  
  20838. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think there&amp;#8217;s a bit of a problem for the populist right, as it&amp;#8217;s Britain marching towards &lt;span id=&quot;b677a54e-8185-4570-874b-f7de083266b7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;power&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20839.  
  20840.  
  20841.  
  20842. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think it&amp;#8217;s sometimes got to have a sense of humour about it&amp;#8230; Was the poem that terrible?&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  20843.  
  20844.  
  20845.  
  20846. &lt;p&gt;Laughing, Mr Cole said: &amp;#8220;I wasn&amp;#8217;t necessarily critiquing the standards, I was critiquing the content.&amp;#8221;   &lt;/p&gt;
  20847.  
  20848.  
  20849.  
  20850. &lt;p&gt;Commenters praised the poem and performance on the British Museum&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; channel.&lt;/p&gt;

  20856.

  21107.  
  21108.  
  21109.  
  21110. &lt;p&gt;The motorway has shut eastbound near Junction 5 following the crash earlier this morning.&lt;/p&gt;

  21121.  
  21122. &lt;p&gt;The agency later added that they are clearing up a spillage following the collision.&lt;/p&gt;

  21126. &lt;p&gt;In a statement, they said: &amp;#8220;We continue to treat and clear a spillage on the M27 eastbound within J5 at Southampton Airport following this morning&amp;#8217;s collision. &lt;/p&gt;

  21157.  
  21158. &lt;p&gt;A MUM has come under fire for treating her tot&amp;#8217;s nursery like &amp;#8221;a supermarket&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21159.  
  21160.  
  21161.  
  21162. &lt;p&gt;The anonymous mother was slammed after she moaned her kid&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34963718/common-nursery-red-flags-policies-cleaning-nappies-questions/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;nursery&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#8217;t offer anything other than &amp;#8221;fancy&amp;#8221; food to her son, 17 months, doesn&amp;#8217;t eat.&lt;/p&gt;
  21163.  
  21164.  
  21165.  
  21166. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36936250&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/medium-shot-toddlers-mothers-wearing-1029577624.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Mothers and toddlers sitting around a table in a preschool, talking, drinking tea, and snacking, with one mother showing something on her smartphone.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36936250&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The mum was &amp;#8221;a little irked&amp;#8221; that the teachers don&amp;#8217;t offer the tot anything else if he doesn&amp;#8217;t eat what&amp;#8217;s on the menu[/caption]
  21167.  
  21168.  
  21169.  
  21170. &lt;p&gt;The woman, who forks out more than £400 for two half-days, said that she was first &amp;#8221;in awe of the menu and how established it was with a variety of foods&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21171.  
  21172.  
  21173.  
  21174. &lt;p&gt;Although the meals have a &amp;#8221;home-cooked vibe&amp;#8221;, the mother found the dishes &amp;#8211; such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/mrscrunch/12711542/mrs-crunchs-speedy-tasty-spag-bol-twist/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;spag bol&lt;/a&gt; made with lamb instead of beef &amp;#8211; &amp;#8221;quite fancy&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21175.  
  21176.  
  21177.  
  21178. &lt;p&gt;However, the little one, she said in &lt;a aria-label=&quot;the post (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5423336-aibu-to-want-the-nursery-to-offer-him-different-food&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the post&lt;/a&gt; uploaded on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mumsnet/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mumsnet&lt;/a&gt;, doesn&amp;#8217;t seem to like the nursery food.&lt;/p&gt;
  21179.  
  21180.  
  21181.  
  21182. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8221;We’ve changed his diet at home to eating what me &amp;amp; my partner eat and he does really well. &lt;/p&gt;
  21183.  
  21184.  
  21185.  
  21186. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;He’s a bit funny with textures but he has changed drastically and does brilliantly at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  21187.  
  21188.  
  21189.  
  21190. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;He rarely eats at nursery. Out of the whole of September, he’s eaten 2-3 portions of breakfast and maybe the mash from a lunch or the plain pasta from lunch. &lt;/p&gt;
  21191.  
  21192.  
  21193.  
  21194. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Today, I’ve looked on the nursery app to see if he’d eaten breakfast. Nope.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21195.  
  21196.  
  21197.  
  21198. &lt;p&gt;The mum was also &amp;#8221;a little irked&amp;#8221; that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31232263/teacher-parents-staff-room-kids/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;teachers&lt;/a&gt; don&amp;#8217;t offer the tot anything else if he doesn&amp;#8217;t eat what&amp;#8217;s on the menu.&lt;/p&gt;
  21199.  
  21200.  
  21201.  
  21202. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;He’s offered one option of “beans on toast” and if he doesn’t eat it, he’s not offered cereal (which I know he would eat at least some of) or anything else.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21203.  
  21204.  
  21205.  
  21206. &lt;p&gt;According to the furious mother, the nursery also prohibits parents from bringing their own food in due to the high risk of allergies.&lt;/p&gt;

  21229.  
  21230. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;I’m getting a bit annoyed that we’re paying all the money and he’s not even being offered an alternative and he’s just not eating and their happy with that. &lt;/p&gt;
  21231.  
  21232.  
  21233.  
  21234. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;I’m unsure whether to make a comment to them about just offering him something else. &lt;/p&gt;
  21235.  
  21236.  
  21237.  
  21238. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Like, today he was given beans on toast. He ate none.&lt;/p&gt;
  21239.  
  21240.  
  21241.  
  21242. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;However, I know that he eats toast with butter all the time and he has had beans before, just mashed into a potato.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21243.  
  21244.  
  21245.  
  21246. &lt;p&gt;The Mumsnet user, who claimed the family doesn&amp;#8217;t get any funded hours, believed &amp;#8221;all children, regardless of financial status, should be entitled to healthy and nutritious food&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21247.  
  21248.  
  21249.  
  21250. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;It just stings a little that we’re paying for the addition of food (compulsory) and he’s not eating anything.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21251.  
  21252.  
  21253.

  21262. &lt;p&gt;Whether your child is going through the &amp;#8220;no&amp;#8221; phase, or is adamant they only want to eat beige fruits, a mum has shared her tips to help fussy eaters.&lt;/p&gt;
  21263. &lt;p&gt;Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Sarah Bull (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/sarah-bull/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Sarah Bull&lt;/a&gt; reveals her experience with fussy eaters, and the tips and tricks she&amp;#8217;s tried&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  21264. &lt;p&gt;It can be infuriating, as well as worrying, when you&amp;#8217;ve got a fussy child. Trust me, I know, I&amp;#8217;ve got two of them! But there are some &lt;a aria-label=&quot;tips the NHS (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/weaning-and-feeding/fussy-eaters/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;tips the NHS&lt;/a&gt; suggest that I&amp;#8217;ve found helpful.&lt;br /&gt;The first is not to worry about what your child does or doesn&amp;#8217;t eat in a day. Think about a week instead, and see if their intake is balanced and healthy.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#8220;If your child is active and gaining weight, and they seem well, then they&amp;#8217;re getting enough to eat,&amp;#8221; the NHS says on their website.&lt;br /&gt;You should aim to include food from the four main food groups for your child &amp;#8211; fruits and vegetables, starchy carbs, dairy and protein.&lt;br /&gt;If they don&amp;#8217;t seem to like a food the first time you offer it, don&amp;#8217;t give up. According to research, it takes between eight and 15 times of offering the food before they will actually like it.&lt;br /&gt;Try to eat with your child, and eat the same food. If they see you tucking in, they&amp;#8217;re more likely to do so themselves.&lt;br /&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t overload their plate &amp;#8211; you can always add more if they clear it, but having one loaded with food can often seem overwhelming.&lt;br /&gt;Another thing to remember is not to overload kids with snacks. Two healthy snacks per day is &amp;#8220;plenty&amp;#8221;, according to NHS guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;Something else I&amp;#8217;ve found useful is to get your kids involved in the cooking process. My daughter has been much more willing to try new food if she&amp;#8217;s made it herself.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  21265. &lt;/div&gt;
  21266. &lt;/div&gt;

  21272. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;Your job to get your child to try new things&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  21273.  
  21274.  
  21275.  
  21276. &lt;p&gt;The post, uploaded under the topic Am I Being Unreasonable?, has since taken the forum by storm &amp;#8211; and it&amp;#8217;s attracted huge criticism for the mother.&lt;/p&gt;
  21277.  
  21278.  
  21279.  
  21280. &lt;p&gt;Many reckoned that the mum was treating the nursery like &amp;#8221;a supermarket&amp;#8221;, with one person writing: &amp;#8221;They can&amp;#8217;t just keep offering all the kids different foods until they eat something!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21281.  
  21282.  
  21283.  
  21284. &lt;p&gt;Another chimed in: &amp;#8221;I understand your frustration but if he eats what you and his dad eat at home and you don&amp;#8217;t offer an alternative then I&amp;#8217;m unsure why you&amp;#8217;re expecting the nursery to do the opposite?&lt;/p&gt;
  21285.  
  21286.  
  21287.  
  21288. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;They cannot offer alternatives for every meal and doing so will most likely lead to him expecting alternatives to be offered at home too.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21289.  
  21290.  
  21291.  
  21292. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;It is your job to get your child to try new things not theirs, they don&amp;#8217;t have a supermarket out back for all the kids individual tastes,&amp;#8221; a user slammed the mum.&lt;/p&gt;
  21293.  
  21294.  
  21295.  
  21296. &lt;p&gt;Social media users also reckoned she might be better off getting &amp;#8221;a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/36635559/i-made-64k-using-secret-website/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;nanny&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; instead of sending her son to nursery &amp;#8211; and pointed out how it was unfair to the teaching staff.&lt;/p&gt;
  21297.  
  21298.  
  21299.  
  21300. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;If they offer an alternative for your child, then they have to do the same for every child and before they know it they have 30 kids eating 30 different breakfasts,&amp;#8221;a Mumsnet reader said.&lt;/p&gt;
  21301.  
  21302.  
  21303.  
  21304. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;It’s just not possible in a childcare setting with staff to child ratios.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  21323.  
  21324.  
  21325.  
  21326. &lt;p&gt;EVEN since first airing on our TV screens in 2000, Dora the Explorer has been asking&amp;nbsp;children&amp;nbsp;to help her find&amp;nbsp;things.&lt;/p&gt;
  21327.  
  21328.  
  21329.  
  21330. &lt;p&gt;However, an eagle-eyed student’s innocent&amp;nbsp;observation&amp;nbsp;about the beloved animated character has left people completely stumped.&lt;/p&gt;
  21331.  
  21332.  
  21333.

  21335.  
  21336.  
  21337.  
  21338. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36935220&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 586px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/aa716808-0a26-42a4-b369-7e47909c4870.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;A woman covers her mouth with her hand and looks upward with a text overlay that says &amp;quot;SHE'S LITERALLY LOOKING&amp;quot;.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36935220&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;803&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;tiktok/@withthatnina_&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Millions were incredibly impressed by the child’s observation skills &amp;#8211; but do YOU agree with the theory?[/caption]
  21339.  
  21340.  
  21341.  
  21342. &lt;p&gt;It happened when a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35889872/teacher-end-of-year-gifts-absolutely-hate/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;teacher&lt;/a&gt;, Nina Montanez, posted a now-viral classroom moment on TikTok.&lt;/p&gt;
  21343.  
  21344.  
  21345.  
  21346. &lt;p&gt;“My student had me genuinely concerned until I realised they made a valid observation,” she captioned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@withthatnina_/video/7555972365574835487?lang=en&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;the clip (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the clip&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21347.  
  21348.  
  21349.  
  21350. &lt;p&gt;The camera stays fixed on the teacher’s face, but the child’s logic steals the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  21351.  
  21352.  
  21353.  
  21354. &lt;p&gt;“She’s blind,” the observant pupil insists matter-of-factly.&lt;/p&gt;
  21355.  
  21356.  
  21357.  
  21358. &lt;p&gt;The teacher repeats back: “You think Dora’s blind?”&lt;/p&gt;
  21359.  
  21360.  
  21361.  
  21362. &lt;p&gt;“No. I&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;know&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;that she is, because she never looks at the thing she’s talking about. She never does,” the kid doubles down, fully confident about the wild theory.&lt;/p&gt;
  21363.  
  21364.  
  21365.  
  21366. &lt;p&gt;“She’s literally looking at nowhere.”&lt;/p&gt;
  21367.  
  21368.  
  21369.  
  21370. &lt;p&gt;At that moment, the teacher, like the rest of TikTok users, is completely stunned by the child&amp;#8217;s take.&lt;/p&gt;
  21371.  
  21372.  
  21373.  
  21374. &lt;p&gt;Dora the Explorer has been airing since 2000. For those who didn’t grow up watching her, Dora the Explorer is a bilingual adventurer who embarks on quests with her monkey companion Boots.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  21375.  
  21376.  
  21377.  
  21378. &lt;p&gt;In the show, Dora often pauses to ask the viewers for help, waits for their response, and then continues as though she’s heard it.&lt;/p&gt;
  21379.

  21403.  
  21404.  
  21405.

  21417. Dr Amanda, who&amp;#039;s a parenting expert and child psychologist gave a general guide for parents who wish to limit screen time. &lt;/p&gt;
  21419. &lt;div&gt;
  21420. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age 1-3 years old&lt;br /&gt;How long: 5 minutes per year of life in one sitting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Gummer says: &amp;#8220;If you are really hoping your child will learn from the screen time they have then one rule of thumb is that on average children can concentrate for 5 minutes per year of their life (i.e. 15 minutes at age 3).&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21421. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age 1+&lt;br /&gt;How long: 1 hour per day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Gummer says: &amp;#8220;For younger children we feel that around 1 hour per day is a sensible limit to aim for on a regular weekday.&lt;/p&gt;
  21422. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Once you add together time on mobile devices, TV, computers and other devices with screens this may not seem like much (and remember children may get screen time at school).&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21423. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age 2+&lt;br /&gt;How long: 2 hour per day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Gummer says: &amp;#8220;Various sources including the American Academy of Paediatrics recommend no more than 2 hours per day (for children aged 2 and over).&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21424. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Children of all ages&lt;br /&gt;Over two hours a day is excessive usage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Gummer says: &amp;#8220;A recent study saw some detrimental effects in teenagers that used more than 3 hours per day of screen time and consider this ‘excessive usage’&lt;/p&gt;
  21425. &lt;/div&gt;
  21426. &lt;/div&gt;
  21427. &lt;/div&gt;

  21433.  
  21434.  
  21435.  
  21436. &lt;p&gt;The shocking theory, uploaded under the username @&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@withthatnina_&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;withthatnina_ (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;withthatnina_&lt;/a&gt;, has taken the internet by storm, amassing more than an astronomical 16million views.&lt;/p&gt;
  21437.  
  21438.  
  21439.  
  21440. &lt;p&gt;Thousands took to comments, where one said: “Omg Dora IS blind and we all failed her.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21441.  
  21442.  
  21443.  
  21444. &lt;p&gt;Another pointed out: “Omg BOOTS IS HER SERVICE ANIMALLLLL!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  21445.  
  21446.  
  21447.  
  21448. &lt;p&gt;“She has a talking map, she can&amp;#8217;t see swiper .. she&amp;#8217;s onto something here,” a third added.&lt;/p&gt;
  21449.  
  21450.  
  21451.  
  21452. &lt;p&gt;Many, meanwhile, suggested that the Map and Backpack could be seen as accessibility aids, helping her navigate the world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  21453.  
  21454.  
  21455.  
  21456. &lt;p&gt;Others were incredibly impressed by the child’s observation skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  21459.  
  21460. &lt;p&gt;“Are you teaching a genius OR are we being taught by one?” a user questioned.&lt;/p&gt;
  21461.

  21463.  
  21464. &lt;p&gt;“Protect this child’s critical thinking and observation skills at all costs,” a second declared.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  21508.  
  21509. &lt;p&gt;SIR Lenny Henry has argued that every black Brit should be paid reparations for slavery.&lt;/p&gt;
  21510.  
  21511.  
  21512.  
  21513. &lt;p&gt;The 67-year-old co-wrote a book titled The Big Payback, which supports the argument that £18trillion should be handed over in compensation.&lt;/p&gt;
  21514.  
  21515.  
  21516.  
  21517. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_36941147&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/NINTCHDBPICT001023895103.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;Sir Lenny Henry attends the Sky Arts Awards.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-36941147&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Sir Lenny Henry&amp;#8217;s new book makes the argument that slavery led directly to racism[/caption]
  21518.  
  21519.  
  21520.  
  21521. &lt;p&gt;He argued vast amounts should be paid to Caribbean nations &amp;#8211; and also given to black British citizens individually&lt;/p&gt;
  21522.  
  21523.  
  21524.  
  21525. &lt;p&gt;The book &amp;#8211; co-written with TV executive Marcus Walker &amp;#8211; outlines why black people living in Britain and not just those living in the Caribbean states should receive compensation.&lt;/p&gt;
  21526.  
  21527.  
  21528.  
  21529. &lt;p&gt;In the book Sir Lenny wrote &amp;#8220;all black British people&amp;#8230; need reparations for slavery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21530.  
  21531.  
  21532.  
  21533. &lt;p&gt;Adding: &amp;#8220;We personally deserve &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; for the effects of slavery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21534.  
  21535.  
  21536.  
  21537. &lt;p&gt;The authors argue slavery led directly to racism and say all black people suffer the effects of racism, so should all be given compensation.&lt;/p&gt;
  21538.  
  21539.  
  21540.  
  21541. &lt;p&gt;They add: “The reason we have racism today and also … why black British people are grossly over-represented in the prison population [&amp;#8230;] are all because of the transatlantic slave trade.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21542.  
  21543.

  21545. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/pollingwidgets/v3/widget.js?question_id=118767&amp;#038;game=polling&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  21546.  
  21547.  
  21548.  
  21549. &lt;p&gt;Jamaica, Antigua, Nevis, Barbados and St Kitts, all Caribbean nations that were under British control, connected Britain to Western &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/africa/&quot;&gt;Africa&lt;/a&gt; and the Americas. &lt;/p&gt;

  21553. &lt;p&gt;The countries formed a key part of the triangular slave trade routes between Western Africa, America and Britain.&lt;/p&gt;
  21554.  
  21555.  
  21556.  
  21557. &lt;p&gt;Britain outlawed the slave trade in its empire in 1807 but it did not formally abolish the practice of slavery until later in 1834.&lt;/p&gt;
  21558.  
  21559.  
  21560.  
  21561. &lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/united-nations/&quot;&gt;United Nations&lt;/a&gt; more than 15 million people were bought and sold in the transatlantic slave trade.&lt;/p&gt;
  21562.  
  21563.  
  21564.  
  21565. &lt;p&gt;Britain took out a lone of £20 million when the empire abolished slavery, using the cash to compensate slave owners. &lt;/p&gt;
  21566.  
  21567.  
  21568.  
  21569. &lt;p&gt;The nation only finished paying off interest on the lone in 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
  21570.  
  21571.  
  21572.  
  21573. &lt;p&gt;Most of Britain’s 2.4 million black population is of direct African descent, meaning they&amp;#8217;re not descendants of Caribbean slaves.&lt;/p&gt;
  21574.  
  21575.  
  21576.  
  21577. &lt;p&gt;Sir Lenny Henry&amp;#8217;s new book on the divisive subject is due to be published by tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;

  21626. &lt;p&gt;STACEY Solomon has found herself targeted by mum-shamers after admitting her kids have to have &amp;#8220;soggy&amp;#8221; packed lunches by the end of the week.&lt;/p&gt;
  21627.

  21643.  
  21644.  
  21645.  
  21646. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So you do &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;lunches &lt;/a&gt;on Sunday for the whole week?&amp;#8221; the interviewer asked. &lt;/p&gt;
  21647.  
  21648.  
  21649.  
  21650. &lt;p&gt;To which Stacey replied: &amp;#8220;Yeah, and they have soggy carrots by the Frida!&lt;/p&gt;
  21651.  
  21652.  
  21653.  
  21654. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No one likes Friday lunch boxes, but oh well!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21655.  
  21656.  
  21657.  
  21658. &lt;p&gt;Grinning, Stacey went on to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot;&gt;share the measures&lt;/a&gt; she takes to try and stop the lunches from spoiling, as she said: &amp;#8220;You can put a little paper towel under the cucumbers so they don&amp;#8217;t get too soggy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21659.  
  21660.  
  21661.  
  21662. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Who cares about a soggy carrot when it’s practically the weekend anyway?&amp;#8221; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOdrWRbjJ8m/?igsh=MTV1dDk0bXVhMmZocA%3D%3D&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;a video of the moment (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;a video of the moment&lt;/a&gt; was captioned when it was shared on Instagram.&lt;/p&gt;
  21663.  
  21664.  
  21665.  
  21666. &lt;p&gt;However, the comments section was almost immediately filled with people slamming her for the admission. &lt;/p&gt;
  21667.  
  21668.  
  21669.  
  21670. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That’s unkind,&amp;#8221; one person wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  21671.  
  21672.  
  21673.  
  21674. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Shame on her!&amp;#8221; another raged.&lt;/p&gt;

  21676.  
  21677.  
  21678. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Can&amp;#8217;t get behind this sorry,&amp;#8221; a third agreed. &lt;/p&gt;
  21679.  
  21680.

  21717.  
  21718. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I put them in the fridge when I make too much and you couldn’t eat after 5 days &amp;#8211; it’s nasty.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  21739. Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers&amp;#039; screens for over a decade. Let&amp;#039;s take a look back at her career. &lt;/p&gt;
  21741. &lt;div&gt;
  21742. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The X Factor&lt;/strong&gt; (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; ITV &lt;/a&gt;singing competition &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-x-factor/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The X Factor.&lt;/a&gt; During her time in the show, she was mentored by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dannii-minogue/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Danni Minogue&lt;/a&gt; in the &amp;#8216;Girls&amp;#8217; category. The star finished in third place, behind &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joe-mcelderry/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Joe McElderry &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/olly-murs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Olly Murs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21743. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&amp;#8217;m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here&lt;/strong&gt; (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/im-a-celebrity/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;I&amp;#8217;m A Celeb &lt;/a&gt;Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed  to win the tenth series. It was through I&amp;#8217;m A Celeb that she met future husband &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joe-swash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Joe Swash&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; who&amp;#8217;d won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff.&lt;/p&gt;
  21744. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Celebrity Juice&lt;/strong&gt; (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/keith-lemon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; Keith Lemon&lt;/a&gt;. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  21745. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Loose Women&lt;/strong&gt; (2016 &amp;#8211; present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
  21746. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sort Your Life Out &lt;/strong&gt;(2022 -present): This&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; BBC&lt;/a&gt; show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants&amp;#8217; living spaces after removing clutter.&lt;/p&gt;
  21747. &lt;/div&gt;
  21748. &lt;/div&gt;
  21749. &lt;/div&gt;
  21751.

  21755.  
  21756.

  21760.  
  21761.  
  21762. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you have followed her for many years like I have on social media you’ll see that she preps all her fruit and vegetables in containers in the fridge to make things more accessible during a busy week,&amp;#8221; a third wrote. &lt;/p&gt;
  21763.  
  21764.  
  21765.  
  21766. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She’s a working mum of 5 children give her a break! &lt;/p&gt;
  21767.  
  21768.  
  21769.  
  21770. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Lift women up not tear them down for God&amp;#8217;s sake, life is hard enough.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  21825. &lt;p&gt;AMANDA Holden has revealed her stunning garden at her Surrey mansion, complete with an outdoor pool and kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
  21826.  
  21827.  
  21828.  
  21829. &lt;p&gt;Last year, we reported how she was transforming her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27306566/inside-amanda-holdens-surrey-mansion/&quot;&gt;£7million pad into a glam US-style hotel&lt;/a&gt; and now the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/britains-got-talent/&quot;&gt;Britain&amp;#8217;s Got Talent&lt;/a&gt; judge has turned her focus outdoors.&lt;/p&gt;

  21846.  
  21847.  
  21848.  
  21849. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/amanda-holden/&quot;&gt;Amanda, 54&lt;/a&gt;, moved into her &amp;#8220;forever home&amp;#8221; last November with her husband &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/5654968/amanda-holden-husband-chris-hughes/&quot;&gt;Chris Hughes&lt;/a&gt; and there &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/25910613/inside-lavish-lives-amanda-holden-kids/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;two daughters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21850.  
  21851.  
  21852.  
  21853. &lt;p&gt;It came after&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24946031/amanda-holden-surrey-mansion-cobham/&quot;&gt;she flogged her giant house in South West London for a cool £5million&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21854.  
  21855.  
  21856.  
  21857. &lt;p&gt;Now the broadcaster has taken to her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; page to post a series of updates on the transformed garden space which the mum of two claimed had brought &amp;#8220;some Californian magic to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/surrey/&quot;&gt;Surrey&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21858.  
  21859.  
  21860.  
  21861. &lt;p&gt;This splash of American sparkle includes perfectly manicured lawns across different levels, and mint and white striped furniture.&lt;/p&gt;
  21862.  
  21863.  
  21864.  
  21865. &lt;p&gt;Different seating areas are spread across the palm-tree adorned space including wicker chairs, while tree trunks are adorned with sparkling lights.&lt;/p&gt;
  21866.  
  21867.  
  21868.  
  21869. &lt;p&gt;A peaceful white outdoor brick fire is contrasted with a vibrant multi-coloured outdoor kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
  21870.  
  21871.  
  21872.  
  21873. &lt;p&gt;For cooling down in the British summertime, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/36429970/amanda-holden-summer-party-alan-carr-tamzin-outhwaite-pool/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;there&amp;#8217;s a huge swimming pool&lt;/a&gt; adorned with inflatables.&lt;/p&gt;
  21874.  
  21875.  
  21876.  
  21877. &lt;p&gt;Finishing off her video tour posted to her Instagram grid, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/8962236/amanda-holden-net-worth-britains-got-talent/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Amanda&lt;/a&gt; was seen grabbing a drink as she perched by her fire-pit before tackling soft grey brick stairs in her white heels.&lt;/p&gt;
  21878.  
  21879.  
  21880.  
  21881. &lt;p&gt;She explored her water fountain before embracing nature, running on the lawn barefoot and hugging a tree.&lt;/p&gt;
  21882.  
  21883.  
  21884.  
  21885. &lt;p&gt;In another caption, Amanda wrote: &amp;#8220;Palm trees make me so happy!!&lt;/p&gt;

  21955.  
  21956.  
  21957.  
  21958. &lt;p&gt;One then mused: &amp;#8220;Really amazing garden and pool area, so well designed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  21959.  
  21960.  
  21961.  
  21962. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;INDOOR TWEAKS&lt;/h2&gt;
  21963.  
  21964.  
  21965.  
  21966. &lt;p&gt;Amanda has previously pepped up the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34452138/amanda-holden-home-surrey-daughter-lexi/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;interiors of the plush mansion&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  21967.  
  21968.  
  21969.  
  21970. &lt;p&gt;Her dining room features a black and gold look along with leopard print wallpaper and a huge chandelier to fill the high ceiling.&lt;/p&gt;
  21971.  
  21972.  
  21973.  
  21974. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, Amanda transformed her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33479397/amanda-holden-lookalike-daughters-barbados-birthday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;daughter Hollie&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s room with a jungle theme which is furnished with a four-poster bed.&lt;/p&gt;
  21975.  
  21976.  
  21977.  
  21978. &lt;p&gt;When it comes to her hallway, Amanda took inspiration from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7905483/rupaul-age-drag-cameo-guest-appearances-net-worth/&quot;&gt;RuPaul&lt;/a&gt; and decorated it with black and white diamond print floors as well as peach walls.&lt;/p&gt;
  21979.  
  21980.  
  21981.  
  21982. &lt;p&gt;She has also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30864417/amanda-holden-home-surrey-inside-gallery-wall-asda/&quot;&gt;created a stunning gallery wall&lt;/a&gt; before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/31934548/amanda-holden-7million-mansion-lavish-decorated-hotel/&quot;&gt;giving a video tour&lt;/a&gt;, much to the delight of her social media followers.&lt;/p&gt;
  21983.  
  21984.  
  21985.  
  21986. &lt;p&gt;Yet it&amp;#8217;s not all perfect &amp;#8211; with the longstanding broadcaster also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/26691573/amanda-holden-new-7m-house-surrey-style-sisters/&quot;&gt;showcasing the &amp;#8220;messy&amp;#8221; condition&lt;/a&gt; during the renovation.&lt;/p&gt;
  21987.  
  21988.  
  21989.  
  21990. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;DREAM PAD&lt;/h2&gt;
  21991.  
  21992.  
  21993.  
  21994. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about the house, she previously told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13296227/Amanda-Holden-reveals-created-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-transforming-7million-Surrey-mansion-dream-forever-home-Simon-Cowell-fan.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;MailOnline&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;This is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/28274557/amanda-holden-surrey-home/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;my dream home&lt;/a&gt;. My entire life I have wanted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/9881818/inside-britains-got-talent-amanda-holden-home/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the dream home&lt;/a&gt;, and you know you do the stepping up and now I&amp;#8217;ve finally got it.&lt;/p&gt;
  21995.  
  21996.  
  21997.  
  21998. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I definitely feel settled… I&amp;#8217;m obsessed with interior design and I said to my husband, &amp;#8216;Don&amp;#8217;t worry, this is the house for life and it will take me a couple of years to do it up&amp;#8217; but I think the whole house will be done by June and we only moved in November so I&amp;#8217;m already looking for another project&amp;#8230; he&amp;#8217;ll go mental!&lt;/p&gt;

  22061. &lt;p&gt;NON-LEAGUE outfit Grays Athletic have announced stunning plans to begin work on an eerie abandoned stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
  22062.  
  22063.  
  22064.

  22074.  
  22075.  
  22076.  
  22077. &lt;p&gt;But it has not played host to a team since 2018 after Thurrock’s chairman dissolved the club following retirement.&lt;/p&gt;
  22078.  
  22079.  
  22080.  
  22081. &lt;p&gt;Now, amazing pictures show that Ship Lane has become an overgrown wasteland.&lt;/p&gt;
  22082.  
  22083.  
  22084.  
  22085. &lt;p&gt;The stadium, based in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/essex/&quot;&gt;Essex&lt;/a&gt;, looks to be in need of some TLC with patchy long grass and weeds covering the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  22086.  
  22087.  
  22088.  
  22089. &lt;p&gt;The stands are also overgrown and in need of a lick of paint.&lt;/p&gt;
  22090.  
  22091.  
  22092.  
  22093. &lt;p&gt;While outside, the former club house of Thurrock FC has sadly been boarded up.&lt;/p&gt;
  22094.  
  22095.  
  22096.  
  22097. &lt;p&gt;But now, new life is set to be breathed into Ship Lane.&lt;/p&gt;
  22098.  
  22099.  
  22100.  
  22101. &lt;p&gt;That’s because local side Grays Athletic hope to move in after years of ground-sharing.&lt;/p&gt;
  22102.  
  22103.  
  22104.  
  22105. &lt;p&gt;The Isthmian League North Division side used to play at the New Recreation Ground.&lt;/p&gt;
  22106.  
  22107.  
  22108.

  22110.  
  22111.  
  22112.  
  22113. &lt;p&gt;But they moved out in 2010 after 106 years after it was sold to developers.&lt;/p&gt;
  22114.  
  22115.  
  22116.  
  22117. &lt;p&gt;Since then, Grays have shared grounds with East Thurrock United, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196655/west-ham/&quot;&gt;West Ham’s&lt;/a&gt; reserves and Aveley FC.&lt;/p&gt;

  22145. &lt;p&gt;Currently, they are stadium buddies with Tilbury FC at Chadfields.&lt;/p&gt;
  22146.  
  22147.  
  22148.  
  22149. &lt;p&gt;Yet that is set to change after Grays obtained ownership of Ship Lane in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  22150.  
  22151.  
  22152.  
  22153. &lt;p&gt;And now, they are set to start work on their new home following a crucial council vote which narrowly saw Grays come out on top.&lt;/p&gt;
  22154.  
  22155.  
  22156.  
  22157. &lt;p&gt;The vote came about after technical issues forced changes to the design and layout of the initial planned development, allowing opponents a fresh chance to derail Grays’ plans.&lt;/p&gt;
  22158.  
  22159.  
  22160.  
  22161. &lt;p&gt;But the win came with a condition that work on Ship Lane must start in the next six months.&lt;/p&gt;
  22162.

  22170.  
  22171.  
  22172.  
  22173. &lt;p&gt;Grays Athletic now hope to begin fixing the abandoned stadium immediately, with the club targeting a reopening for the start of the 2026/27 season.&lt;/p&gt;
  22174.  
  22175.  
  22176.  
  22177. &lt;p&gt;A board statement confirmed: &amp;#8220;As the variation to the plans were relatively insignificant, the planning officer recommended for the committee to approve the application and subsequently the planning committee voted in favour of the amended application.&lt;/p&gt;
  22178.  
  22179.  
  22180.  
  22181. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This now means as a football club, we can now start planning how we make Ship Lane our home for decades to come.&lt;/p&gt;
  22182.  
  22183.  
  22184.  
  22185. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have made contact with Group One and our solicitors and hope the protracted process of transferring the stadium to us can be expedited and we can begin the renovation works as soon as we are able to secure the funding necessary to transform the derelict stadium into a vibrant home for us and our community.&lt;/p&gt;
  22186.  
  22187.  
  22188.  
  22189. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Once we have more information to share with you, our loyal supporters, we will of course provide it to you at the earliest opportunity.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  22190.  
  22191.  
  22192.  
  22193. &lt;p&gt;Fans reacted with delight to the news, with one saying: “Such a good ground, it’s a shame it’s fallen into such disrepair.”&lt;/p&gt;
  22194.  
  22195.  
  22196.  
  22197. &lt;p&gt;Another declared: “So many memories playing here as a kid.”&lt;/p&gt;
  22198.  
  22199.  
  22200.  
  22201. &lt;p&gt;One noted: “I’m sure it will look great.”&lt;/p&gt;
  22202.  
  22203.  
  22204.  
  22205. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “Still better than Tilbury’s pitch!”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
