  88.

  91. &lt;p&gt;The accident occurred on the A52, near the municipality of Palacios de Sanabria.&lt;/p&gt;
  92.  
  93.  
  94.  
  95. &lt;p&gt;The dad-of-three star was in a&amp;nbsp;Lamborghini&amp;nbsp;with his brother when the vehicle went off the road and caught fire.&lt;/p&gt;
  96.  
  97.  
  98.  
  99. &lt;p&gt;Local authorities believe one of the supercar&amp;#8217;s tires burst.&lt;/p&gt;
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  
  103. &lt;p&gt;Diogo was married to wife &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675624/diogo-jota-wife-rute-cardoso/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rute Cardoso&lt;/a&gt; on June 22, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  104.  
  105.  
  106.  
  107. &lt;p&gt;The couple have three children.&lt;/p&gt;
  108.  
  109.  
  110.  
  111. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Who was Andre Silva?&lt;/h2&gt;
  112.  
  113.  
  114.  
  115. &lt;p&gt;Andre Silva was the younger brother of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; superstar Diogo Jota.&lt;/p&gt;
  116.  
  117.  
  118.  
  119. &lt;p&gt;Silva, 26, is also a talented footballer who played for Penafiel &amp;#8211; a side in the Portuguese second division.&lt;/p&gt;
  120.  
  121.  
  122.  
  123. &lt;p&gt;The Portuguese player joined Penafiel on July 1, 2023 and he mainly operated as an attacking midfielder.&lt;/p&gt;
  124.  
  125.  
  126.  
  127. &lt;p&gt;But Silva&amp;#8217;s ability and flair on the ball has seen him often navigate in either the left wing or centre forward positions.&lt;/p&gt;
  128.  
  129.  
  130.  
  131. &lt;p&gt;Both Jota and Silva represented Porto at a young age.&lt;/p&gt;
  132.  
  133.  
  134.  
  135. &lt;p&gt;It is not known if Andre Silva had a partner or children.&lt;/p&gt;
  136.  
  137.  
  138.  
  139. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35677309&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; width=&quot;628&quot; height=&quot;513&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/d26b4a9c-d376-4b1e-b780-354be1563e55.webp?strip=all&amp;amp;w=628&quot; alt=&quot;Two young men in FC Porto jerseys stand in a stadium.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35677309&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Diogo Jota and Andre Silva both played for Porto&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  140.  
  141.  
  142.  
  143. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Tributes&lt;/h2&gt;
  144.  
  145.  
  146.  
  147. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675487/diogo-jota-death-updates-car-crash/&quot;&gt;Jota&amp;#8217;s death has rocked the world of football&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, with the 28-year-old an important part of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;title win last season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  148.  
  149.  
  150.  
  151. &lt;p&gt;And tributes have now been paid to the ace, whose brother also died in the tragic car crash.&lt;/p&gt;
  152.  
  153.  
  154.  
  155. &lt;p&gt;Manchester United legend and Sky Sports pundit Neville said: “That is heartbreaking news on Diogo Jota and his brother.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  156.  
  157.  
  158.  
  159. &lt;p&gt;“All my love and best wishes to his family.”&lt;/p&gt;
  160.  
  161.  
  162.  
  163. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt; fan and broadcaster Morgan added: “Desperately sad news coming out of Spain that Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota, 28, has died, along with his brother, in a car accident in Zamora.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  164.  
  165.  
  166.  
  167. &lt;p&gt;“He only got married 2 weeks ago. Heart-breaking.”&lt;/p&gt;
  168.  
  169.  
  170.  
  171. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Portugal Prime Minister Luis Montenegro paid tribute by saying: “The news of the death of Diogo Jota, an athlete who greatly honoured the name of Portugal, and his brother is unexpected and tragic.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  172.  
  173.  
  174.  
  175. &lt;p&gt;“I leave the family my deepest condolences. It&amp;#8217;s a sad day for football and for national and international sport.”&lt;/p&gt;
  176.  
  177.  
  178.  
  179. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool icon &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jamie-carragher/&quot;&gt;Jamie Carragher&lt;/a&gt; posted on Instagram: “Absolutely devastated by the sad news about Diogo Jota.&lt;/p&gt;
  180.  
  181.  
  182.  
  183. &lt;p&gt;“Thoughts are with his wife Rute and their three kids.”&lt;/p&gt;
  184.  
  185.  
  186.  
  187. &lt;p&gt;Newcastle hero &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alan-shearer/&quot;&gt;Alan Shearer&lt;/a&gt; added: “Heartbreaking.”&lt;/p&gt;
  188.  
  189.  
  190.  
  191. &lt;p&gt;Former England goalie &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-seaman/&quot;&gt;David Seaman&lt;/a&gt; noted: “Such a devastating loss. My deepest condolences to his family.”&lt;/p&gt;
  192.  
  193.  
  194.  
  195. &lt;p&gt;Former Man Utd star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-de-gea/&quot;&gt;David De Gea&lt;/a&gt; posted online: “Sometimes life is very cruel.”&lt;/p&gt;
  196.  
  197.  
  198.  
  199. &lt;p&gt;And ex-Red Devil Rio Ferdinand added: “Absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers go out to Diogo Jota, Andre Silva, their family and friends.”&lt;/p&gt;
  200.  
  201.  
  202.  
  203. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Portugal Statement&lt;/h2&gt;
  204.  
  205.  
  206.  
  207. &lt;p&gt;The Portuguese FA have now paid tribute to their late winger, who they&amp;#8217;ve vowed to honour going forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  208.  
  209.  
  210.  
  211. &lt;p&gt;It read: &amp;#8220;The Portuguese&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;Football&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Federation and all of Portuguese football are completely devastated by the deaths of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/diogo-jota/&quot;&gt;Diogo Jota&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and André Silva,&amp;nbsp;this morning, in&amp;nbsp;Spain.&lt;/p&gt;
  212.  
  213.  
  214.  
  215. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Much more than an amazing player, with almost 50 internationalizations for the National A Team, Diogo Jota was an extraordinary person, respected by all teammates and opponents, someone with an infectious joy and a reference in the community itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  216.  
  217.  
  218.  
  219. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On my behalf, and on behalf of the Portuguese Football Federation, I express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Diogo and&amp;nbsp;Andre Silva, as well as&amp;nbsp;Liverpool&amp;nbsp;FC and FC Penafiel, the clubs where, respectively, lined up the players.&lt;/p&gt;
  220.  
  221.  
  222.  
  223. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Portuguese Football Federation has already asked&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uefa/&quot;&gt;UEFA&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for a minute&amp;#8217;s silence, this Thursday, before the match of our national team with Spain, in the women&amp;#8217;s European&amp;nbsp;Championship, lost to two champs.&lt;/p&gt;
  224.  
  225.  
  226.  
  227. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The disappearance of Diogo and Andre Silva represents irreparable losses for Portuguese football and we will do everything to, daily, honour their legacy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  288.  
  289.  
  290. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m disappointed that l&amp;#8217;m not going to be able to see you all, but, hopefully I will see you in 2026 for the rescheduled shows.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  291.  
  292.  
  293.  
  294. &lt;p&gt;The 30-year-old continued: &amp;#8220;I’m very sorry to everyone that was coming see me.&lt;/p&gt;
  295.  
  296.  
  297.  
  298. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I understand many of you will have made arrangements to be at the gigs. If it was possible I would love to do them, but I have to accept that it isn&amp;#8217;t possible at this time. &lt;/p&gt;
  299.  
  300.  
  301.  
  302. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you to everyone for all their support over the last couple of years, my break from making videos will also likely be a bit longer than I had first hoped, but I look forward to chatting to you all again soon!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  303.  
  304.  
  305.  
  306. &lt;p&gt;He finished off his statement saying: &amp;#8220;Hopefully it won&amp;#8217;t be too long after that until l&amp;#8217;m back. Until I see ye again. Stay Delicious. [sic]&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  307.

  413. &lt;p&gt;BROOKLYN Beckham and Nicola Peltz look smitten in a new fashion campaign after the shoot sparked rumours of a family feud.&lt;/p&gt;
  414.  
  415.  
  416.  
  417. &lt;p&gt;The pair flew to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; for the advertising campaign in May, days after snubbing his dad &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34785629/inside-david-beckham-50th-birthday-party-london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;David&amp;#8217;s 50th birthday&lt;/a&gt; celebrations.&lt;/p&gt;

  434.  
  435.  
  436.  
  437. &lt;p&gt;It came after they missed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34175414/david-beckham-50th-birthday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;David’s 50th party in Miami&lt;/a&gt;, his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34804135/david-beckham-swipe-brooklyn-amid-feud/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;fishing trip &lt;/a&gt;with his Cruz and Romeo, an intimate dinner at their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34750298/david-beckham-50th-birthday-family-cotswolds-home/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cotswolds home&lt;/a&gt; and his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34785629/inside-david-beckham-50th-birthday-party-london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;star-studded birthay bash&lt;/a&gt; in London.&lt;/p&gt;
  438.  
  439.  
  440.  
  441. &lt;p&gt;Sources said the snub was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34781808/brooklyn-beckham-snubs-heartbroken-dad-davids-50th-birthday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;a &amp;#8220;dagger to the heart&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; for his parents.&lt;/p&gt;
  442.  
  443.  
  444.  
  445. &lt;p&gt;Two weeks later the couple, who live in Los Angeles, jetted to London for the Moncler shoot but failed to meet up with Brooklyn&amp;#8217;s family.&lt;/p&gt;
  446.  
  447.  
  448.  
  449. &lt;p&gt;The photos for the Italian fashion brand have finally been released and show Brooklyn snuggling into Nicola in a series of romantic moments. &lt;/p&gt;
  450.  
  451.  
  452.  
  453. &lt;p&gt;The Sun revealed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35025077/brooklyn-beckham-career-change/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;they landed the six figure&lt;/a&gt; deal with the designer firm and shot the photos minutes away from the Beckhams&amp;#8217; home in West London. &lt;/p&gt;
  454.  
  455.  
  456.  
  457. &lt;p&gt;They were also up the road from where David was, attending &lt;span style=&quot;, sans-serif&quot;&gt;the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;, sans-serif&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/chelsea-flower-show/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chelsea Flower Show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;, sans-serif&quot;&gt; with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;, sans-serif&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;King Charles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;, sans-serif&quot;&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;, sans-serif&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Queen Camilla&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;, sans-serif&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  458.  
  459.  
  460.  
  461. &lt;p&gt;An insider said at the time: “Brooklyn and David couldn’t have been closer in distance.&lt;/p&gt;
  462.  
  463.  
  464.  
  465. &lt;p&gt;“It strikes a chord knowing how close in distance Brooklyn was to David given how tense their relations have been recently. &lt;/p&gt;
  466.  
  467.  
  468.  
  469. &lt;p&gt;“Brooklyn was filming five minutes away by car.”&lt;/p&gt;

  499.  
  500.  
  501. &lt;p&gt;This week, more upset was caused when photos were shared showing Brooklyn enjoying a party for his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz&amp;#8217;s birthday.&lt;/p&gt;

  517. &lt;p&gt;The post received backlash from Beckham supporters, with some accusing Nicola of &amp;#8220;controlling her husband.&lt;/p&gt;
  518.  
  519.  
  520.  
  521. &lt;p&gt;However, there were also supportive messages, with one fan writing: &amp;#8220;The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd.&lt;/p&gt;
  522.  
  523.  
  524.  
  525. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  526.  
  527.  
  528.  
  529. &lt;p&gt;Nicola then was seen &amp;#8220;liking&amp;#8221; the comment, as she agreed with what the fan was saying.&lt;/p&gt;
  530.  
  531.  
  532.  
  533. &lt;p&gt;In another twist,&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35558137/brooklyn-beckham-hits-out-family-feud-tribute-wife-dad/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brooklyn was recently backed by his godfather Sir Elton John&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  534.  
  535.  
  536.  
  537. &lt;p&gt;Aspiring chef Brooklyn posted a photo with wife Nicola last week, which got Elton&amp;#8217;s approval.&lt;/p&gt;
  538.  
  539.  
  540.  
  541. &lt;p&gt;Elton wrote: “Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple,” followed by love hearts, and his husband David added his own comment, which read: “Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple.”&lt;/p&gt;
  542.  
  543.  
  544.  
  545. &lt;p&gt;Elton is Brooklyn&amp;#8217;s godfather and they&amp;#8217;re very close, regularly going on trips abroad together over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
  546.  
  547.  
  548.  
  549. &lt;p&gt;Both Victoria and David failed to comment on or like their son’s anniversary post.&lt;/p&gt;
  550.  
  551.  
  552.  
  553. &lt;p&gt;It was recently revealed that the situation has become so severe that Brooklyn is no longer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35535878/brooklyn-beckham-cut-brothers-cruz-romeo-feud/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;on speaking terms with his siblings.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  554.  
  555.  
  556.  
  557. &lt;p&gt;This week The Sun revealed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35590957/david-beckham-hospital-victoria-message-football/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;David was in hospital&lt;/a&gt; for a secret operation on his wrist.&lt;/p&gt;
  558.  
  559.  
  560.  
  561. &lt;p&gt;Wife Victoria shared a pic from his hospital bedside, writing &amp;#8220;get well soon daddy&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  562.

  643.  
  644.  
  645.  
  646. &lt;p&gt;Posting on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;, Ava Stanley, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;content creator&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ireland/&quot;&gt;Ireland&lt;/a&gt;, introduced her followers to her 91-year-old grandmother and eagerly showed off her “perfect &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/skincare/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;skin&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  647.  
  648.  
  649.  
  650. &lt;p&gt;Her stylish &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;grandmother&lt;/a&gt; moved towards the camera, as Ava beamed: “Look at how healthy your skin is &amp;#8211; come close, show them how beautiful your skin is.”&lt;/p&gt;
  651.  
  652.  
  653.  
  654. &lt;p&gt;The pensioner then shared her first piece of advice for those wanting &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/hair-and-beauty/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;youthful skin&lt;/a&gt;, as she recommended: “Don&amp;#8217;t wash your face with soap and water.”&lt;/p&gt;
  655.  
  656.  
  657.  
  658. &lt;p&gt;This grandmother expressed that to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/anti-ageing-tips/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;combat ageing&lt;/a&gt;, she will never use tap water on her face, as she instead advised: “No, just cream it and then get a damp sponge or baby wipe and just gently [wipe].”&lt;/p&gt;
  659.  
  660.  
  661.  
  662. &lt;p&gt;If you’ve been washing your face with tap water and want to follow this woman’s baby wipe advice, you’ll be pleased to know that you can buy a 46 pack of &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.superdrug.com/baby/baby-changing/baby-wipes/pampers-harmonie-new-baby-wipes-46s/p/838281&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Pampers Harmonie Baby Wipes&lt;/a&gt; for only £2.50 from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/superdrug/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Superdrug&lt;/a&gt;, which works out at just 5p a wipe. &lt;/p&gt;
  663.  
  664.  
  665.  
  666. &lt;p&gt;As well as this, Ava’s grandmother also swears by a tapping technique for a lifted complexion.&lt;/p&gt;
  667.  
  668.  
  669.  
  670. &lt;p&gt;Instead of using &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/29098844/ladbaby-mum-primark-skincare-buy-rid-puffiness/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ice rollers&lt;/a&gt; or a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/33411482/temu-beauty-face-sculpt-jawline-gua-sha-lymphatic-massage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;gua sha&lt;/a&gt;, this elderly woman simply uses her fingers to tap in circular motions around her cheeks and towards temples. &lt;/p&gt;
  671.  
  672.  
  673.  
  674. &lt;p&gt;Demonstrating her lifting technique, she stressed: “Keep doing the tapping [on your cheeks] and outwards and up. Not down, never down &amp;#8211; up and out.”&lt;/p&gt;
  675.  
  676.  
  677.  
  678. &lt;p&gt;Ava then revealed a hack she was told by a “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/17786160/skincare-expert-reveals-beauty-mistakes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;skincare expert&lt;/a&gt;”, which her grandmother also agrees with &amp;#8211; using rose water.&lt;/p&gt;
  679.  
  680.  
  681.  
  682. &lt;p&gt;Ava acknowledged: “Safe to say grandma rates the Biofresh Skincare Rose Water too.” &lt;/p&gt;

  723. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Exosomes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  724. &lt;p&gt;Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing. &lt;/p&gt;
  725. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Streamlined Skincare&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  726. &lt;p&gt;The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.&lt;/p&gt;
  727. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Vegan Collagen&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  728. &lt;p&gt;Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. &lt;/p&gt;
  729. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. The Rise Of AI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  730. &lt;p&gt;AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.&lt;/p&gt;
  731. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Hair Loss Solutions &amp;#8211;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  732. &lt;p&gt;Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.&lt;/p&gt;
  733. &lt;/div&gt;
  734. &lt;/div&gt;
  735. &lt;/div&gt;
  737.  
  738.  
  739.  
  740. &lt;p&gt;Not only this, but it’s also amassed 8,599 likes, 79 comments and 539 saves.&lt;/p&gt;
  741.  
  742.  
  743.  
  744. &lt;p&gt;Social media users eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts on the grandmother’s “fantastic” and “flawless” skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  745.  
  746.  
  747.  
  748. &lt;p&gt;One person said: “Amazing woman. She is so beautiful.” &lt;/p&gt;
  749.  
  750.  
  751.  
  752. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  760. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  762.  
  763.  
  764.  
  765. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “My lord she doesn’t look over 50, what a beautiful lady.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  766.  
  767.  
  768.  
  769. &lt;p&gt;A third gushed: “She looks so young omg!!!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  770.  
  771.  
  772.  
  773. &lt;p&gt;At the same time, one beauty fan beamed: “God bless her, great &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/33020128/secret-love-island-gabby-allen-flawless-skin-smoothing-wrinkles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;skincare tips&lt;/a&gt;.” &lt;/p&gt;
  774.  
  775.  
  776.  
  777. &lt;p&gt;Whilst one content creator gasped: “Stop it she is GLOWING.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  778.  
  779.  
  780.  
  781. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “My mother says the same thing and her skin is amazing.”&lt;/p&gt;

  829. &lt;p&gt;A MAJOR UK bank is shutting 38 branches across the UK this July, after signing a deal to snap up a rival.&lt;/p&gt;
  830.  
  831.  
  832.  
  833. &lt;p&gt;Last month, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35320014/bank-closes-uk-branches/&quot;&gt;the bank closed a total of 23 high street stores&lt;/a&gt;, after announcing back in March that 95 sites would shut &lt;span id=&quot;f02f00b0-8549-4973-ad45-d189eb7be5ad&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nationwide&lt;/span&gt; by the end of the year. &lt;/p&gt;

  838.  
  839.  
  840.  
  841. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Shift To Online Banking&lt;/h2&gt;
  842.  
  843.  
  844.  
  845. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33920403/santander-to-shut-95-bank-branches/&quot;&gt;Santander &lt;/a&gt;revealed that the reason for the closures is because many customers now prefer to use online banking, thus reducing the need for online services.&lt;/p&gt;
  846.  
  847.  
  848.  
  849. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.santander.co.uk/personal/support/ways-to-bank/our-branches&quot;&gt;A statement on the Santander website&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;reads: &amp;#8220;We last did a major &lt;span id=&quot;acd42576-7517-4d9e-8434-99af12752408&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;review&lt;/span&gt; of our branches in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  850.  
  851.  
  852.  
  853. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Since then, many of our customers are choosing to use Mobile, Online and Telephone Banking more, and branches less.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  854.  
  855.  
  856.  
  857. &lt;p&gt;A further 14 branches will close in August, with 20 more to close over the coming months.&lt;/p&gt;
  858.  
  859.  
  860.  
  861. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Older People Could Be Left Behind&lt;/h2&gt;
  862.  
  863.  
  864.  
  865. &lt;p&gt;However, the closures have led to fears that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/29187605/vulnerable-customers-digital-firms-cashless-tips/&quot;&gt;older customers&lt;/a&gt;, who prefer to do their banking face to face, will be left behind.&lt;/p&gt;
  866.  
  867.  
  868.  
  869. &lt;p&gt;Age UK is campaigning for banks to keep some banking services in person, as four million older Brits are unable to manage their finances online.&lt;/p&gt;
  870.  
  871.  
  872.  
  873. &lt;p&gt;Caroline Abrahams,&amp;nbsp;charity&amp;nbsp;director at Age UK, said: “Physical spaces – whether a bank or building society branch, Banking Hub, or alternative suitable provision – must continue to exist so people can still carry out face-to-face tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
  874.  
  875.  
  876.  
  877. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The disappearance of face-to-face banking risks cutting a significant minority of the older population out of an essential service, making it difficult if not impossible for them to manage their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; and maintain their independence.”&lt;/p&gt;
  878.  
  879.  
  880.  
  881. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In order to combat this issue,&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30462937/full-list-banking-hubs-to-open-branch-closures/&quot;&gt;73 banking hub&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;s have been set up across the UK, with customers from any bank able to use the in-person service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  882.  
  883.  
  884.  
  885. &lt;p&gt;On Monday, Santander cut the opening hours of 36 of its remaining banks in half, with other branches made &amp;#8220;counter-free.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  910.  
  911.  
  912.  
  913. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this week, Santander announced that it had agreed to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35653168/santander-buys-tsb-customers-affected/&quot;&gt;acquire TSB&lt;/a&gt; for £2.65billion. &lt;/p&gt;
  914.  
  915.  
  916.  
  917. &lt;p&gt;The deal will add a whopping five million customers to Santander&amp;#8217;s existing 14 million.&lt;/p&gt;
  918.  
  919.  
  920.  
  921. &lt;p&gt;However, the deal is not yet set in stone, and is still subject to shareholder approval. &lt;/p&gt;
  922.  
  923.  
  924.  
  925. &lt;p&gt;There will be no immediate changes, as little is currently known about the deal.&lt;/p&gt;

  985.  
  986.  
  987.  
  988. &lt;p&gt;Sabadell &amp;#8211; which owns TSB &amp;#8211; said it would submit the deal to a shareholders meeting on August 6 for its approval as it is subject to the BBVA offer.&lt;/p&gt;
  989.  
  990.  
  991.  
  992. &lt;p&gt;Sabadell’s shareholders must approve the TSB sale, as it is tied to BBVA’s ongoing €14billion takeover bid.&lt;/p&gt;
  993.  
  994.  
  995.  
  996. &lt;p&gt;If approved, the deal is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

  1335.  
  1336.  
  1337.  
  1338. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Honestly it looks like she’s shaved it,&amp;#8221; Chloe replied. &lt;/p&gt;

  1366. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Philip Kingsley (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.philipkingsley.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Philip Kingsley&lt;/a&gt; spoke exclusively to Fabulous.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1367. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long does it take for hair to grow back? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1368. &lt;p&gt;Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up.&lt;/p&gt;
  1369. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1370. &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;
  1371. &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;
  1372. &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;
  1373. &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;
  1374. &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;
  1375. &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;
  1376. &lt;/div&gt;
  1377. &lt;/div&gt;
  1378. &lt;/div&gt;
  1380.  
  1381.  
  1382.  
  1383. &lt;p&gt;Other people in the comments took aim at Chloe for even allowing Mila anywhere near some scissors. &lt;/p&gt;
  1384.  
  1385.  
  1386.  
  1387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My point would be how she got scissors to be alone,&amp;#8221; one wrote. &lt;/p&gt;
  1388.  
  1389.  
  1390.  
  1391. &lt;p&gt;To which someone else replied; &amp;#8220;Either you aren&amp;#8217;t a parent&amp;#8230; Or you&amp;#8217;re in denial about things self professed perfect humans believe children shouldn&amp;#8217;t do just to belittle parents.&lt;/p&gt;
  1392.  
  1393.  
  1394.  
  1395. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One of my kids shaved her eyebrow once.&lt;/p&gt;
  1396.  
  1397.  
  1398.  
  1399. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes I felt guilty she got hold of my razor&amp;#8230; But I&amp;#8217;m glad I&amp;#8217;m not judgemental like you!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1400.  
  1401.  
  1402.  
  1403. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Came here for the comments blaming you for not watching her or allowing her access to scissors,&amp;#8221; another responded. &lt;/p&gt;
  1404.  
  1405.  
  1406.  
  1407. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;ll grow before you know it! And it&amp;#8217;s a rite of passage like a Sudocremed child!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1408.  
  1409.  
  1410.  
  1411. &lt;p&gt;However, there were some who used the comments section to admit they&amp;#8217;d found themselves in similar situations with their kids when they were little. &lt;/p&gt;
  1412.  
  1413.  
  1414.  
  1415. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I did this to my hair when I was about 7&amp;#8230; I wore a headband for months til it grew out again!&amp;#8221; one wrote. &lt;/p&gt;
  1416.  
  1417.  
  1418.  
  1419. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Bless her, we&amp;#8217;ve all experienced that,&amp;#8221; another laughed. &lt;/p&gt;
  1420.  
  1421.  
  1422.  
  1423. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Luckily she can have a side parting with a pretty hairslide to keep it in place.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1424.  
  1425.  
  1426.  
  1427. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My daughter cut the entire right side of her hair off,&amp;#8221; a third admitted. &lt;/p&gt;
  1428.  
  1429.  
  1430.  
  1431. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was hysterically crying. &lt;/p&gt;
  1432.  
  1433.  
  1434.  
  1435. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She’s 19 now and it grew back lovely &amp;#8211; the joy of kids!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1517.

  1523.  
  1524. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Who is Diogo Jota&amp;#8217;s wife, Rute Cardoso?&lt;/h2&gt;
  1525.  
  1526.

  1528. &lt;p&gt;Jota and Rute Cardoso first met in 2012 aged just 13.&lt;/p&gt;
  1529.  
  1530.  
  1531.  
  1532. &lt;p&gt;They went to high school together in Porto and have been together since, with Rute following Diogo throughout his career.&lt;/p&gt;
  1533.  
  1534.  
  1535.

  1537.  
  1538.

  1541.  
  1542.  
  1543.  
  1544. &lt;p&gt;They were married in their hometown of Porto on June 22, 2025. &lt;/p&gt;
  1545.  
  1546.  
  1547.

  1553.  
  1554.  
  1555.

  1557.  
  1558.

  1609.  
  1610. &lt;p&gt;Country star Tim McGraw shared a picture of himself on Instagram with his singer wife Faith Hill, 57, as they spent some time together in Denmark.&lt;/p&gt;
  1611.  
  1612.  
  1613.  
  1614. &lt;p&gt;The pair were pictured sitting at an outdoor cafe in Copenhagen, which is where they are staying as they support their daughter Audrey, 23, on tour&lt;/p&gt;
  1615.  
  1616.  
  1617.  
  1618. &lt;p&gt;The couple looked loved-up as they smiled for the camera, with smitten Tim writing &lt;span id=&quot;d3530c07-269d-4795-893b-dc05c4506d26&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; to the sweet snap: &amp;#8220;Hangin’ with my baby in Copenhagen to see @audreymcgraw on tour with the fabulous @brandicarlile.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1619.  
  1620.  
  1621.  
  1622. &lt;p&gt;But despite the cute photo, fans were left concerned for Tim as he was pictured with a cane.&lt;/p&gt;
  1623.  
  1624.  
  1625.  
  1626. &lt;p&gt;Taking to the comments, one fan wrote: &amp;#8220;Beautiful photo. Why do you have a cane? Are you ok?&amp;#8221;&amp;#8216; one fan asked.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1627.  
  1628.  
  1629.  
  1630. &lt;p&gt;Another follow said: &amp;#8220;@thetimmcgraw praying for your recovery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1631.  
  1632.  
  1633.  
  1634. &lt;p&gt;This one wrote: &amp;#8220;Need the full story on the cane, my man.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  1635.  
  1636.  
  1637.  
  1638. &lt;p&gt;While another added: &amp;#8220;One thing for sure … doesn’t look like you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1639.  
  1640.  
  1641.  
  1642. &lt;p&gt;Tim is yet to reveal why he is having to use a cane, but he did previously open up about having ongoing back and knee issues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1643.  
  1644.  
  1645.  
  1646. &lt;p&gt;Speaking in May to &lt;a class=&quot;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qtM9ttWXR0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bobby Bones podcast&lt;/a&gt;, he revealed: &amp;#8220;I had had a back surgery before tour last year, and that sort of went south on me at the beginning of the tour, and sort of compensating for that my knees went out like three weeks into the tour.&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  1674. &lt;p&gt;Back in 2018, &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Tim shocked shocked concertgoers (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5783862/tim-mcgraw-country-singer-collapses-dublin/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Tim shocked shocked concertgoers&lt;/a&gt; after he collapsed on stage during a gig in Ireland.&lt;/p&gt;

  1679.  
  1680.  
  1681.  
  1682. &lt;p&gt;After he collapsed Tim&amp;#8217;s wife Faith came out to address the crowd, and revealed that her husband was &amp;#8220;super dehydrated from travelling so much&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1683.  
  1684.  
  1685.  
  1686. &lt;p&gt;She then revealed that she &amp;#8220;had taken the decision to have him not come back out on stage&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1687.  
  1688.  
  1689.  
  1690. &lt;p&gt;Tim&amp;#8217;s spokesman said at the time: &amp;#8220;Tim McGraw was suffering from Dublin this evening at the C2C show.&lt;/p&gt;
  1691.  
  1692.  
  1693.

  1695.  
  1696.  
  1697.

  1709.  
  1710. &lt;p&gt;Tim and Faith tied the knot back in 1996.&lt;/p&gt;
  1711.  
  1712.  
  1713.  
  1714. &lt;p&gt;Together the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/15877120/how-many-kids-tim-mcgraw-faith-hill/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;couple have three daughters together&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; Gracie, Maggie and Audrey.&lt;/p&gt;
  1715.  
  1716.  
  1717.  
  1718. &lt;p&gt;Tim has previously revealed that music is his &amp;#8220;saviour.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1719.  
  1720.  
  1721.  
  1722. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;Anything that&amp;#8217;s ever happened good in my life has come from music.&lt;/p&gt;
  1723.  
  1724.  
  1725.  
  1726. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So it&amp;#8217;s a treasure to me. Whether I want to do it continually, whether I want to stop doing it, any of those things, it&amp;#8217;s my saviour in a lot of ways.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1727.  
  1728.  
  1729.  
  1730. &lt;p&gt;Away from the country music scene, Tim teamed up with rapper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/nelly/&quot;&gt;Nelly&lt;/a&gt; for the 2004 hit Over and Over, which reached number one in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  1731.  
  1732.  
  1733.  
  1734. &lt;p&gt;He also starred alongside Sandra Bullock in the 2009 &lt;span id=&quot;9e7883c0-3bdf-44ed-8a5c-47be3c7eebb9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;film&lt;/span&gt; The Blind Side.&lt;/p&gt;

  1800.  
  1801.  
  1802.  
  1803. &lt;p&gt;It comes as the glamorous doctor seen cradling the rescued girl has now been named as Alyssa Charles.&lt;/p&gt;
  1804.  
  1805.  
  1806.  
  1807. &lt;p&gt;The child fell from the fourth deck of the $900 million Disney Dream around 11.30am as the vessel made its way back to Fort Lauderdale from the Bahamas.&lt;/p&gt;
  1808.  
  1809.  
  1810.  
  1811. &lt;p&gt;Her dad, 37, immediately dived roughly 50ft into the ocean in a desperate attempt to save her.&lt;/p&gt;
  1812.  
  1813.  
  1814.  
  1815. &lt;p&gt;He reportedly kept the little girl afloat for nearly 20 minutes before the pair were rescued by ship crew.&lt;/p&gt;
  1816.  
  1817.  
  1818.  
  1819. &lt;p&gt;Initially hailed as a hero, the dad soon became the target of online outrage amid widespread &amp;#8211; and now debunked &amp;#8211; claims that he had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35658288/disney-dream-cruise-girl-overboard-mystery/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;lifted the child onto a 42.5-inch railing to take a photo&lt;/a&gt;, causing her to fall.&lt;/p&gt;
  1820.  
  1821.  
  1822.  
  1823. &lt;p&gt;But on Wednesday, the Broward County Sheriff&amp;#8217;s Office officially refuted that viral theory.&lt;/p&gt;
  1824.  
  1825.  
  1826.  
  1827. &lt;p&gt;Sheriff Gregory Tony said the child was sitting on the railing and fell backwards through a porthole &amp;#8211; but made it clear that the dad did not put her there.&lt;/p&gt;
  1828.  
  1829.  
  1830.  
  1831. &lt;p&gt;He said in a press briefing: “After the girl’s mother alerted her husband, who didn’t see the incident, he jumped into the ocean to save his daughter.&lt;/p&gt;
  1832.  
  1833.  
  1834.  
  1835. &lt;p&gt;“BSO detectives said after the 37-year-old father found his daughter, he treaded water until they were rescued by a tender that was launched from the ship.”&lt;/p&gt;

  2148. &lt;p&gt;And GP practice calls will be answered more quickly with new digital phone systems, ending the 8am GP scramble. &lt;/p&gt;
  2149.  
  2150.  
  2151.  
  2152. &lt;p&gt;This also means patients should be able to get same-day phone or video consultations when they need them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2153.  
  2154.  
  2155.  
  2156. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;Makes the NHS simpler&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2157.  
  2158.  
  2159.  
  2160. &lt;p&gt;The Health Secretary said: “Our plan will turn the NHS on its head.&lt;/p&gt;
  2161.  
  2162.  
  2163.  
  2164. &lt;p&gt;“By shifting from hospital to community, we will finally bring down devastating hospital waiting lists and stop patients going from pillar to post to get treated.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2165.  
  2166.  
  2167.  
  2168. &lt;p&gt;Daniel Elkeles, chief of NHS Providers which represents hospital bosses, said: “This is a win for patients who will be better informed and empowered to direct their care as never before.&lt;/p&gt;
  2169.  
  2170.  
  2171.  
  2172. &lt;p&gt;“It makes the NHS simpler, ensuring quicker decisions and innovations getting to frontline services faster.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2173.  
  2174.  
  2175.  
  2176. &lt;p&gt;“This is a recipe that offers the prospect of progress where previous plans have faltered.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2177.  
  2178.  
  2179.  
  2180. &lt;p&gt;Finance experts warn the plans will be costly – but the PM and Health Secretary refuse to pump endless cash into the NHS without results.&lt;/p&gt;
  2181.  
  2182.  
  2183.  
  2184. &lt;p&gt;Many parts of the plan already happen in some areas but need to be rolled out nationally.&lt;/p&gt;
  2185.  
  2186.  
  2187.  
  2188. &lt;p&gt;Others have been promised in previous schemes, such as 2019&amp;#8217;s Long-Term Plan, but failed due to a lack of money or time.&lt;/p&gt;
  2189.  
  2190.  
  2191.  
  2192. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;A &amp;#8216;castle built on sand&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2193.  
  2194.  
  2195.  
  2196. &lt;p&gt;Sarah Woolnough, chief of the King’s Fund think-tank, said: “There is plenty to welcome but the public will want to know why it will be different this time.&lt;/p&gt;
  2197.  
  2198.  
  2199.  
  2200. &lt;p&gt;“Unlike previous plans, this plan will not come with promises of significantly more funding or staff.&lt;/p&gt;
  2201.  
  2202.  
  2203.  
  2204. &lt;p&gt;“We won’t necessarily feel the changes tomorrow or even next year, but if the NHS and its staff are given the support, resources and political cover to deliver the changes the plan proposes, the health system could feel very different in five to 10 years’ time.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2205.  
  2206.  
  2207.  
  2208. &lt;p&gt;The Government have said the cash to pay for the new service will come from the £29bn boost to NHS funding announced in the last Budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  2209.  
  2210.  
  2211.  
  2212. &lt;p&gt;The Conservative MP and shadow health secretary Edward Argar said the NHS needed &amp;#8220;reform, not just more cash&amp;#8221; and warned that Labour&amp;#8217;s plan had to be &amp;#8220;real and deliverable for patients&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2213.  
  2214.  
  2215.  
  2216. &lt;p&gt;Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said the whole 10-year NHS strategy would be a &amp;#8220;castle built on sand&amp;#8221; unless ministers tackled what he described as a &amp;#8220;crisis in social care&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  2259.  
  2260.  
  2261.  
  2262. &lt;p&gt;For the past two and a half years, his wife Emma has been running village tearooms named Morley Tearooms.&lt;/p&gt;
  2263.  
  2264.  
  2265.  
  2266. &lt;p&gt;Taking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, she confirmed the end of her time in the premises.&lt;/p&gt;
  2267.  
  2268.  
  2269.  
  2270. &lt;p&gt;Emma re-shared a story from the tearooms&amp;#8217; account, which read: &amp;#8220;End of Morley Tearooms but the beginning of something even better.&lt;/p&gt;
  2271.  
  2272.  
  2273.  
  2274. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s been a pleasure&amp;#8230;&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  2275.  
  2276.  
  2277.  
  2278. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When we move, we move together. Can&amp;#8217;t wait to update and see you all very soon xxx. Em.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2279.  
  2280.  
  2281.  
  2282. &lt;p&gt;Emma previously took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; and addressed leaving the tearooms behind.&lt;/p&gt;
  2283.  
  2284.  
  2285.  
  2286. &lt;p&gt;She wrote:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;So, it’s true…. My time at the Tea rooms has unfortunately come to an end.&lt;/p&gt;
  2287.  
  2288.  
  2289.  
  2290. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I decided to leave due to the new lease not suiting my requirements. It was verbally agreed that I stay until the end of&amp;nbsp;summer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2291.  
  2292.  
  2293.  
  2294. &lt;p&gt;But she’s since been told that she needs to leave “a lot sooner,” and her final trading day was set for June 29.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2295.  
  2296.  
  2297.  
  2298. &lt;p&gt;She continued: &amp;#8220;I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the outpouring of love I’ve received over the last couple of days. It’s been extremely humbling and heartwarming to have the support from all of you, you have no idea what it has meant to me.&lt;/p&gt;

  2331.

  2334. &lt;p&gt;Liquidators called in to break up&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/simon-gregson/&quot;&gt;Simon Gregson&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Productions Ltd filed a report on the soap star&amp;#8217;s conduct to the Government.&lt;/p&gt;

  2357. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1960-1968&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Whilst the Coronation Street set remained on Quay Street for 53 years, it actually had three separate studio sites. The first was an entirely indoor wooden set which was used for the first eight years of filming. This encompassed a replica of the Street built entirely indoors. The set was known to be awkward for actors to use and the houses brought to three quarter scale.&lt;/p&gt;
  2358. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1968-1982 &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; In 1968, the addition of an outdoor set was created to adjoin the existing indoor set which was still used for filming right up until 1982. The set was used only when required with many of the show&amp;#8217;s cast reportedly hating it and describing it as &amp;#8216;the coldest place on Earth&amp;#8217;. &lt;/p&gt;
  2359. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1982-2013&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; A brand new set was officially constructed in 1982 and was almost built fully to scale but still only permitted for one car to drive down the cobbled street. The house were purpose-built using reclaimed Salford brick in order to give it the most authentic feel possible. During these years, some of the show&amp;#8217;s buildings were adapted to allow for both interior and exterior filming at the same time. These locations included Elliott&amp;#8217;s Butchers, Barlow&amp;#8217;s Buys, Prima Doner and Webster&amp;#8217;s Autos. The final scenes to be recorded on this site occurred in December 2013. By early 2014, it began operating as a tourist attraction for around two years before ultimately being demolished and re-purposed in 2017. &lt;/p&gt;
  2360. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2014-present&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; In early 2014, the show&amp;#8217;s set moved to the TV hub of the North &amp;#8211; MediaCityUK in nearby Salford Quays. It is now located a stone&amp;#8217;s throw from major TV studio Dock 10 as well as the BBC&amp;#8217;s base in the North &amp;#8211; home to Blue Peter, Newsround, BBC Breakfast and BBC Sport. The new set was even bigger and built to 9/10 the scale of a real street and allowed for two card to be travelling down the road at opposite sides for the very first time. The site has even undergone major expansions during its 10 years. Just four years after opening in 2018, a brand new set extension was unveiled which introduced viewers to Victoria Gardens for the first time in its history. The Weatherfield North tram stop also became visible as did a series of shops which became used as part of product placement advertising deals. Brands to have been seen on the Street so far include a Co-Op, a Costa Coffee and a branch of Hay&amp;#8217;s Travel. Four years later in 2022, another brand new set was unveiled, this time being the heavily mentioned Weatherfield Precinct. It became the first time in 62 years that the area had ever been seen on screens. It fearued a variety of shop fronts, a playground and a number of small flats which have begun to house more and more residents on the street in recent months. &lt;/p&gt;
  2361. &lt;/div&gt;
  2362. &lt;/div&gt;
  2363. &lt;/div&gt;
  2365.  
  2366.  
  2367.  
  2368. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, Simon’s side-hustle was revealed, with the soap favourite getting extra cash flow through Cameo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2369.  
  2370.  
  2371.  
  2372. &lt;p&gt;Cameo allows Simon to send personalised video messages to his fans, whether it be for a birthday or anniversary.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2373.  
  2374.  
  2375.  
  2376. &lt;p&gt;And he’s charging £37.50-per-video on the platform, which says fans will: “Have the chance to customize your request for Simon Gregson, like asking them to mention inside jokes, share words of wisdom, or work in their signature catchphrases.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2377.

  2409. &lt;p&gt;A SHEEP farmer&amp;#8217;s ex-wife has lost a five-year legal battle to keep half of a £80million sum he gave her as part of a tax avoidance scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
  2410.  
  2411.  
  2412.  
  2413. &lt;p&gt;Clive Standish, 72, transferred the multi-million pound gift to his former partner Anna in 2017, with the intention of eventually placing the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; in an offshore trust for their children.&lt;/p&gt;
  2414.

  2421. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35676445&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 591px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/celebrity-divorce-lawyer-fiona-shackleton-1007012429.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=581&quot; alt=&quot;Anna Standish with celebrity divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton outside the Appeal Court in London.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35676445&quot; width=&quot;581&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Champion News&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;It was initially decided by the High Court that Anna should receive half of the funds[/caption]
  2422.  
  2423.  
  2424.  
  2425. &lt;p&gt;Clive, a former chief financial officer at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ubs/&quot;&gt;UBS&lt;/a&gt;, made the decision to move the funds over to his Australian wife to exploit her non-dom status and avoid a crippling 40% inheritance-tax rate.&lt;/p&gt;
  2426.  
  2427.  
  2428.  
  2429. &lt;p&gt;The former banker believed he would face a bill of about £32 million if he died with the money in his name.&lt;/p&gt;
  2430.  
  2431.  
  2432.  
  2433. &lt;p&gt;But the pair&amp;#8217;s 15 year &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt; later hit the rocks and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/divorce/&quot;&gt;divorce&lt;/a&gt; proceedings began in 2020 with the assets still in her name.&lt;/p&gt;
  2434.  
  2435.  
  2436.  
  2437. &lt;p&gt;It was initially decided by the High &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; in 2023 that Anna, 57, should receive half of the funds in the settlement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2438.  
  2439.  
  2440.  
  2441. &lt;p&gt;But last year, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-of-appeal/&quot;&gt;Court of Appeal&lt;/a&gt; ruled that her share should be reduced from half to £25million.&lt;/p&gt;
  2442.  
  2443.  
  2444.  
  2445. &lt;p&gt;The amount was judged to fairly represent her contribution to raising the children and looking after their home.&lt;/p&gt;
  2446.  
  2447.  
  2448.  
  2449. &lt;p&gt;And despite Anna&amp;#8217;s recent attempts to overturn the decision, the ruling was upheld by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/supreme-court/&quot;&gt;Supreme Court&lt;/a&gt; yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  2450.  
  2451.  
  2452.  
  2453. &lt;p&gt;Five judges argued that the sum was not a marital asset because it had not been shared by the couple and Mr Standish had intended it for their children.&lt;/p&gt;
  2454.  
  2455.  
  2456.  
  2457. &lt;p&gt;The ruling said: “Tax planning schemes to save tax, involving transfers of assets from one spouse to another, are commonplace.&lt;/p&gt;
  2458.  
  2459.  
  2460.  
  2461. &lt;p&gt;“The problem for the wife is that there is nothing to show that, over time, the parties were treating the 2017 assets as shared between them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2462.  
  2463.  
  2464.  
  2465. &lt;p&gt;“Rather, the transfer was in pursuance of a scheme to negate inheritance tax and it was for the benefit exclusively of the children.&lt;/p&gt;
  2466.  
  2467.  
  2468.  
  2469. &lt;p&gt;“The parties’ intention was that the £80 million should not be retained by the wife.”&lt;/p&gt;

  2492.  
  2493. &lt;p&gt;His wife never established two offshore trusts as he had expected, so Clive was judged to be the sole owner of those assets when divorce proceedings began.&lt;/p&gt;
  2494.  
  2495.  
  2496.  
  2497. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Lord Faulks, representing Anna, tried to argue that the&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;money had become shared property&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;after the initial transfer, adding that she had contributed by accepting the gift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2498.  
  2499.  
  2500.  
  2501. &lt;p&gt;Mr Standish moved to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/australia/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt; in 1976 and married Anna in December 2005, before the pair moved to the UK five years later.&lt;/p&gt;
  2502.  
  2503.  
  2504.  
  2505. &lt;p&gt;The couple lived together at Moundsmere Manor, an 18-bedroom mansion near Preston Candover, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hampshire/&quot;&gt;Hampshire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2506.  
  2507.  
  2508.  
  2509. &lt;p&gt;Clive&amp;#8217;s laywer, Tim Bishop KC, explained that in June 2004 his client was worth £57.3 million, while Anna had “no significant pre-marital wealth”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2510.  
  2511.  
  2512.  
  2513. &lt;p&gt;The marital assets at the time of the split amounted to £132million, almost all of which had come from Clive&amp;#8217;s initial fortune.&lt;/p&gt;
  2514.  
  2515.  
  2516.  
  2517. &lt;p&gt;Mr Bishop added: &amp;#8220;The husband made the transfers in March 2017, but the wife failed to transfer the assets into trust by the time the marriage ran into problems in 2019 and then broke down finally in 2020&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2518.  
  2519.  
  2520.  
  2521. &lt;p&gt;Delivering the Supreme Court ruling, Lord Burrows and Lord Stephens agreed with the Court of Appeal&amp;#8217;s verdict.&lt;/p&gt;

  2526.  
  2527.

  2529. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35676563&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 536px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/07914583378-clive-standish-outside-court-1007039996.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=526&quot; alt=&quot;Clive Standish outside the Court of Appeal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35676563&quot; width=&quot;526&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Champion News Service Ltd&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Clive moved the funds over to his Australian wife to avoid inheritance-tax[/caption]
  2530.  
  2531.  
  2532.  
  2533. &lt;p&gt;They said: &amp;#8220;There was no matrimonialisation of the 2017 assets because the transfer was to save tax and it was for the benefit of the children not the wife.&lt;/p&gt;
  2534.  
  2535.  
  2536.  
  2537. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The 2017 assets were not, therefore, being treated by the husband and wife for any period of time as an asset that was shared between them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2538.  
  2539.  
  2540.  
  2541. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Transfers of capital assets with the intention of saving tax do not, without some further compelling evidence, establish that the parties are treating the capital asset as shared between them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2542.  
  2543.  
  2544.  
  2545. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The 2017 assets comprise the husband&amp;#8217;s pre-marital assets and earnings that the husband made in the years 2004-2007, to which the wife contributed by being the home-maker and child carer during those years.&lt;/p&gt;
  2546.  
  2547.  
  2548.  
  2549. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In relation to a scheme designed to save tax, under which one spouse transfers an asset to the other spouse, the parties&amp;#8217; dealings with the asset do not normally show that the asset is being treated as shared between them. &lt;/p&gt;
  2550.  
  2551.  
  2552.  
  2553. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Rather, the intention is simply to save tax.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2554.  
  2555.

  2616.  
  2617. &lt;p&gt;She suffered catastrophic injuries when he ran over her outside her home in the Greenhill area of Sheffield on April 5 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  2618.  
  2619.  
  2620.  
  2621. &lt;p&gt;An inquest has found that failings by a local council contributed to the circumstances around her death.&lt;/p&gt;
  2622.  
  2623.  
  2624.  
  2625. &lt;p&gt;The boy, referred to as Child X, was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24889106/boy-brag-police-kill-gran-car-sheffield/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sentenced to two years in custody in November 2023&lt;/a&gt; after admitting causing Marcia&amp;#8217;s death by dangerous driving, when a murder charge was dropped.&lt;/p&gt;
  2626.  
  2627.  
  2628.  
  2629. &lt;p&gt;But Marcia&amp;#8217;s family slammed the soft sentence, saying they feel &amp;#8220;completely let down&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2630.  
  2631.  
  2632.  
  2633. &lt;p&gt;During the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24241608/boy-admits-death-gran-driveway-sheffield/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;court case&lt;/a&gt;, Sheffield Crown &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; heard how when he was arrested, the teen asked &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Is she dead?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2634.  
  2635.  
  2636.  
  2637. &lt;p&gt;He then chillingly added: &amp;#8220;Looks like I got my first kill.&lt;/p&gt;
  2638.  
  2639.  
  2640.  
  2641. &lt;p&gt;“It was an accident, I swear.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2642.  
  2643.  
  2644.  
  2645. &lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, South Yorkshire coroner Marilyn Whittle recorded a narrative conclusion after an inquest into Marcia&amp;#8217;s death.&lt;/p&gt;
  2646.  
  2647.  
  2648.  
  2649. &lt;p&gt;Ms Whittle said that Child X had a youth caution for possessing a knife and had at times talked about wanting to be part of gang culture.&lt;/p&gt;
  2650.  
  2651.  
  2652.  
  2653. &lt;p&gt;But this information was not included on the initial placement referral form, making it &amp;#8220;deficient&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2654.  
  2655.  
  2656.  
  2657. &lt;p&gt;She said Marcia&amp;#8217;s decision that she could provide Child X with a short term placement &amp;#8220;was made without her full knowledge of Child X&amp;#8217;s risks&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2658.  
  2659.  
  2660.  
  2661. &lt;p&gt;This was because of &amp;#8220;the failings of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council to have in place systems and processes to ensure full details are included and up to date forms were used&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2662.  
  2663.  
  2664.  
  2665. &lt;p&gt;The coroner said the Grants&amp;#8217; social worker, who was asked for his opinion on whether they were a suitable match for Child X, was not told about the boy claiming to have stabbed people or been involved in gangs, and &amp;#8220;would have categorically said that was not a match&amp;#8221; if he had been.&lt;/p&gt;
  2666.  
  2667.  
  2668.  
  2669. &lt;p&gt;Ms Whittle found that &amp;#8220;had the proper process been undertaken, Child X would not have been placed with the Grant family&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2670.  
  2671.  
  2672.  
  2673. &lt;p&gt;The inquest heard that Marcia and her husband Delroy were experienced foster carers who were highly regarded by the council&amp;#8217;s fostering team.&lt;/p&gt;
  2674.  
  2675.  
  2676.  
  2677. &lt;p&gt;They were caring for another child, referred to as Child Y, when a call went out to all Rotherham&amp;#8217;s foster carers for an emergency placement for Child X on March 30 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  2678.  
  2679.  
  2680.  
  2681. &lt;p&gt;The inquest heard how Mr and Mrs Grant volunteered to take him, despite them being categorised as only able to take in one child at a time, largely because of the complexities Child Y presented to them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2682.  
  2683.  
  2684.  
  2685. &lt;p&gt;The inquest heard that on April 4, Marcia was visited by the Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) who discussed the placement with her.&lt;/p&gt;
  2686.  
  2687.  
  2688.  
  2689. &lt;p&gt;The IRO said after the meeting they would not recommend the placement was extended as concerns were raised that Marcia was keeping knives locked in another room, and the boy had told her he had stabbed someone, spat at the neighbour and had sex with 10 girls.&lt;/p&gt;
  2690.  
  2691.  
  2692.  
  2693. &lt;p&gt;Child X was removed from her care on April 5, but she was asked to keep him on for a longer placement because social services were not able to find an alternative placement.&lt;/p&gt;
  2694.  
  2695.  
  2696.  
  2697. &lt;p&gt;Shortly after he was returned to the Grants&amp;#8217; home, he attempted to steal their car.&lt;/p&gt;
  2698.  
  2699.  
  2700.  
  2701. &lt;p&gt;Mrs Whittle said the grandmother was killed as she stood behind the vehicle in an attempt to stop him driving it away.&lt;/p&gt;
  2702.  
  2703.  
  2704.  
  2705. &lt;p&gt;The coroner said the circumstances which led to the fatal incident &amp;#8220;were contributed to by the failings of the Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2706.  
  2707.  
  2708.  
  2709. &lt;p&gt;She listed these as a failure to have &amp;#8220;appropriate systems and processes in place when placing foster children, including but not limited to the lack of accurate and complete documentation, failure to communicate risks and concerns appropriately, failure to conduct appropriate risk assessments and failing to safeguard those in their care&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2710.  
  2711.  
  2712.  
  2713. &lt;p&gt;Ms Whittle said she would be writing a &amp;#8220;prevention of future deaths&amp;#8221; report addressing issues including the council&amp;#8217;s lack of documentation and failure to complete forms; and a shortage of placements.&lt;/p&gt;
  2714.  
  2715.  
  2716.  
  2717. &lt;p&gt;She said this was a &amp;#8220;national issue&amp;#8221; and not just to be directed at Rotherham.&lt;/p&gt;
  2718.  
  2719.  
  2720.  
  2721. &lt;p&gt;After the inquest, Marcia&amp;#8217;s son Shaun Grant said&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21966407/boy-arrested-murder-woman-dies-crash-sheffield/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; his mother &amp;#8220;deserved better&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; and would not have taken Child X if she had known his full history.&lt;/p&gt;
  2722.  
  2723.  
  2724.  
  2725. &lt;p&gt;Reading a statement alongside his sister Gemma Grant, he said: &amp;#8220;We have been on an agonising journey to uncover the truth behind the events and systemic failings that led to the death of our beloved mum, Marcia Grant.&lt;/p&gt;
  2726.  
  2727.  
  2728.  
  2729. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What has become evident over the last few weeks leaves us with no doubt that our mum was failed, our family was failed, and so too the foster child that was in our long-term care.&lt;/p&gt;
  2730.  
  2731.  
  2732.  
  2733. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It remains a source of deep sorrow and frustration that senior leadership within the council has consistently refused to acknowledge their own accountability despite being fully aware of the risk history of Child X and our mum&amp;#8217;s own needs as a foster carer.&lt;/p&gt;
  2734.  
  2735.  
  2736.  
  2737. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They chose to look away, take no responsibility and to make no meaningful change for carers after our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21973020/sheffield-marcia-grant-boy-12-arrested-on-murder/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;mum&amp;#8217;s death.&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2738.  
  2739.  
  2740.  
  2741. &lt;p&gt;He went on to say: &amp;#8220;We wholly welcome the coroner&amp;#8217;s findings that our mum was failed on numerous fronts and that these failures directly contributed to her death.&lt;/p&gt;
  2742.  
  2743.  
  2744.  
  2745. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;However, whilst this leaves us with a sense of vindication, it also serves to reinforce to us how badly she was failed.&lt;/p&gt;
  2746.  
  2747.  
  2748.  
  2749. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If not for these failures, our mum would still be with us here today.&lt;/p&gt;
  2750.  
  2751.  
  2752.  
  2753. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our mum was dedicated to protecting vulnerable people, she did so with strength, compassion, and an unwavering sense of duty.&lt;/p&gt;
  2754.  
  2755.  
  2756.  
  2757. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yet when it mattered the most, the same system she gave so much for, did not protect her in return.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2758.  
  2759.  
  2760.  
  2761. &lt;p&gt;Rotherham Council&amp;#8217;s strategic director for Children and Young People&amp;#8217;s Services, Nicola Curley, said: &amp;#8220;We want to begin by offering our deepest and sincerest condolences to the family of Marcia Grant. &lt;/p&gt;
  2762.  
  2763.  
  2764.  
  2765. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The pain and distress they have experienced is immeasurable, and we are truly sorry for their loss and everything they have been through.&lt;/p&gt;
  2766.  
  2767.  
  2768.  
  2769. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Marcia was a much-loved and highly respected foster carer, and a central figure within Rotherham&amp;#8217;s fostering community. Her family have spoken of her devotion as a wife and mother &amp;#8211; qualities that were equally evident in the care and compassion she gave to some of our borough&amp;#8217;s most vulnerable children.&lt;/p&gt;
  2770.  
  2771.  
  2772.  
  2773. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She made a lasting difference to the lives of many, and she remains deeply valued and greatly missed by all who knew her. We also extend our heartfelt condolences to her friends, and the fostering community who held her in such high regard.&lt;/p&gt;
  2774.  
  2775.  
  2776.  
  2777. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We recognise the seriousness of the coroner&amp;#8217;s findings, and we will now take time to reflect fully on the outcome of the inquest and consider all appropriate next steps.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2778.

  2824. &lt;p&gt;NEARLY nine million British adults are still unable to swim, according to shocking new research. &lt;/p&gt;
  2825.  
  2826.  
  2827.  
  2828. &lt;p&gt;A study of 2,000 adults found 17 per cent have no &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/swimming/&quot;&gt;swimming &lt;/a&gt;ability whatsoever, 33 per cent don’t feel confident in the water, and 42 per cent will only brave the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35644514/lido-reopens-heatwave-crouch-end/&quot;&gt;shallow end.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  2841.  
  2842.  
  2843.  
  2844. &lt;p&gt;Despite &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35634198/man-dies-beach-swimming-event-61/&quot;&gt;swimming &lt;/a&gt;and water safety being on the national curriculum, one in five said they weren’t offered lessons at school, &lt;/p&gt;
  2845.  
  2846.  
  2847.  
  2848. &lt;p&gt;Also, a further 24 per cent didn&amp;#8217;t get taught because their parents couldn&amp;#8217;t swim. &lt;/p&gt;
  2849.  
  2850.  
  2851.  
  2852. &lt;p&gt;Others were put off by a bad experience, or didn’t see swimming as important when they were growing up.&lt;/p&gt;
  2853.  
  2854.  
  2855.  
  2856. &lt;p&gt;The research was commissioned by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.easyjet.com/en/holidays/swim-school&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;EasyJet&lt;/a&gt;, as part of an initiative that offers free swimming lessons to 1,000 adults across the UK ahead of the summer holidays. &lt;/p&gt;
  2857.  
  2858.  
  2859.  
  2860. &lt;p&gt;The programme has been developed in partnership with Triple &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35659358/gender-row-boxer-imane-khelif-return-olympic-gold-medal-paris-2024/&quot;&gt;Olympic &lt;/a&gt;Champion &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30738683/strictly-come-dancing-furious-tom-dean-eliminated-toyah-willcox/&quot;&gt;Tom Dean,&lt;/a&gt; national swim provider Better, and the Royal Life Saving Society UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  2861.  
  2862.  
  2863.  
  2864. &lt;p&gt;Tom Dean, who has spoken to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/parliament/&quot;&gt;Parliament &lt;/a&gt;about water safety, said: “As an Olympic swimmer, I know the importance of learning water safety skills and am passionate about ensuring everyone across Britain has access to basic swimming competencies.&lt;/p&gt;
  2865.  
  2866.  
  2867.  
  2868. &lt;p&gt;“Whether it’s staying with a buddy, knowing your limits, or sticking to areas where you can stand, it’s never too late to learn how to swim.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2869.  
  2870.  
  2871.  
  2872. &lt;p&gt;The research also revealed that 17 per cent of Brits grew up without a local &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/33974850/london-indoor-pool-uk-swimming-greece/&quot;&gt;pool. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2873.  
  2874.  
  2875.  
  2876. &lt;p&gt;More than 100 public pools have closed across the UK in the past 20 years – with the average pool now 4.3 miles from people’s homes.&lt;/p&gt;
  2877.  
  2878.  
  2879.  
  2880. &lt;p&gt;For five per cent, the nearest pool is more than 10 miles away.&lt;/p&gt;

  2902.  
  2903.  
  2904. &lt;p&gt;Worryingly, this gap could grow in the years ahead &amp;#8211; with 14 per cent of parents admitting they haven’t enrolled their children in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/14348731/labour-free-swimming-lessons-scotland-children/&quot;&gt;swimming lessons&lt;/a&gt; and don’t plan to teach them either.&lt;/p&gt;
  2905.  
  2906.  
  2907.  
  2908. &lt;p&gt;Of these, 20 per cent say they don’t have the time, 15 per cent cite high costs, and 13 per cent believe swimming is too risky.&lt;/p&gt;
  2909.  
  2910.  
  2911.  
  2912. &lt;p&gt;Despite this, 31 per cent of parents worry about their children swimming on holiday because they can’t swim themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
  2913.  
  2914.  
  2915.  
  2916. &lt;p&gt;A further 32 per cent fear they wouldn’t be able to help if something went wrong, and 18 per cent wish they could join their children or grandchildren in the pool – but can’t.&lt;/p&gt;
  2917.  
  2918.  
  2919.  
  2920. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, 25 per cent say their lack of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35566203/every-lido-pool-outdoor-map/&quot;&gt;swimming &lt;/a&gt;ability affects how much they enjoy their holidays.&lt;/p&gt;
  2921.  
  2922.  
  2923.  
  2924. &lt;p&gt;Nearly one in five are too scared to get in the pool at all, and 11 per cent have avoided beach holidays altogether because of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  2925.  
  2926.  
  2927.  
  2928. &lt;p&gt;But now, 35 per cent of non-swimmers would take lessons as adults if given the chance – with 23 per cent admitting their lack of ability makes them feel vulnerable.&lt;/p&gt;

  2941. &lt;p&gt;2.    School didn’t offer a learn-to-swim programme&lt;/p&gt;
  2942. &lt;p&gt;3.    Parents couldn’t swim so didn’t teach them&lt;/p&gt;
  2943. &lt;p&gt;4.    Parents didn’t have time to take them to lessons&lt;/p&gt;

  2957. &lt;p&gt;Matt Callaghan, chief operating officer at easyJet Holidays, said: “We know how much Brits love their summer beach holidays to Europe’s favourite destinations.&lt;/p&gt;
  2958.  
  2959.  
  2960.  
  2961. &lt;p&gt;“That’s why it’s so important to us to highlight the surprisingly high number of adults who can’t swim – something we’re determined to help change.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2962.  
  2963.  
  2964.  
  2965. &lt;p&gt;“By improving safety and helping more people fully enjoy the water, we’re also offering a life skill that lasts far beyond the holiday itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  2966.  
  2967.  
  2968.  
  2969. &lt;p&gt;“We’re thrilled to partner with Olympic athlete Tom Dean and the Royal Life Saving Society UK to offer 1,000 British adults the opportunity to learn to swim.&lt;/p&gt;
  2970.  
  2971.  
  2972.  
  2973. &lt;p&gt;“Together, we’re taking a meaningful step towards closing the gap and giving more people the confidence and freedom to enjoy the water – on holiday and at home.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3024.  
  3025. &lt;p&gt;LOOKING for fortune, fame and occasionally romance, a steady stream of ultra glammed-up stars have graced our screens on Love Island over the past decade.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3026.  
  3027.  
  3028.  
  3029. &lt;p&gt;And while some indulge in a few tweakments prior to heading &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;into the villa&lt;/a&gt;, a shocking number have undergone dramatic transformations after leaving the show.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3030.  
  3031.  
  3032.  
  3033. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35664313&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/2025/07/patsy-field-love-island-tv-905127035.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;Patsy Field in a red swimsuit on Love Island.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35664313&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;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Patsy Field is the latest Islander to change her look[/caption]
  3034.  
  3035.  
  3036.  
  3037. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35664307&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 560px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/op-shock-love-island-s-1007025894.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=550&quot; alt=&quot;Close-up of a woman with a bandage on her head and under-eye patches.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35664307&quot; width=&quot;550&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Patsy underwent cat eye face lift surgery to &amp;#8216;feel prettier&amp;#8217;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  3038.  
  3039.

  3041. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35664320&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 560px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/op-shock-love-island-s-1007025897.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=550&quot; alt=&quot;Patsy Field, Love Island contestant, showing off her new look after surgery.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35664320&quot; width=&quot;550&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Patsy revealed the results of the op this week&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  3042.  
  3043.  
  3044.  
  3045. &lt;p&gt;This week Love Island’s first disabled contestant, Patsy Field, 30, revealed the jaw-dropping results of a cat eye facelift, which she had in a bid to “feel prettier”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3046.  
  3047.  
  3048.  
  3049. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kent/&quot;&gt;Kent&lt;/a&gt; admin worker, &lt;span&gt;who has&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28320445/patsy-field-erbs-palsy-disability-love-island-2024/&quot;&gt;Erb&amp;#8217;s Palsy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; went under the knife in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/turkey/&quot;&gt;Turkey&lt;/a&gt; after becoming hypercritical of her appearance while trying to make it as a social media influencer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3050.  
  3051.  
  3052.  
  3053. &lt;p&gt;She admitted her first reaction on seeing the results of the &amp;#8220;gifted procedure&amp;#8221; was &amp;#8220;what have I done?&amp;#8221; and later said she &amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;wouldn&amp;#8217;t recommend this&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8221; to her fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  3054.  
  3055.  
  3056.  
  3057. &lt;p&gt;Patsy said being on TV made her more self-conscious, and she was &amp;#8220;egged on&amp;#8221; to have the op because she&amp;#8217;s constantly looking at pictures of herself and had always had an &amp;#8220;insecurity&amp;#8221; about her eyes.&lt;/p&gt;
  3058.  
  3059.  
  3060.  
  3061. &lt;p&gt;She is far from the only Islander to be tempted by surgical &amp;#8216;enhancement&amp;#8217; after the show &amp;#8211; especially because, as one former star revealed, there’s a “daily influx” of emails from firms offering free surgery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3062.  
  3063.  
  3064.  
  3065. &lt;p&gt;Here we take a look at some of our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; show alumni favourites who now look completely unrecognisable. &lt;/p&gt;

  3074.  
  3075.  
  3076.  
  3077. &lt;p&gt;Last year&amp;#8217;s Love Island runner-up Nicole Samuel looks &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35162517/love-island-nicole-samuel-poses-swimsuit-ibiza/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;noticeably different&lt;/a&gt; since her time in the villa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3078.  
  3079.  
  3080.  
  3081. &lt;p&gt;The Welsh beauty has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33853165/love-island-nicole-samuel-body-transformation-bikini/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;been working hard in the gym&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and keeps fans up-to-date with her incredible transformation, recently showing off her &lt;/span&gt;toned frame in a barely-there swimsuit.&lt;/p&gt;
  3082.  
  3083.  
  3084.  
  3085. &lt;p&gt;Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Daniel Barrett told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13623845/Has-filler-Botox-aged-Love-Island-stars.html&quot;&gt;MailOnline&lt;/a&gt; he believed Nicole had “a little filler” and Botox.&lt;/p&gt;
  3086.  
  3087.  
  3088.  
  3089. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately he believed the ‘tweakments’ had aged her, making her look 11 years older than she actually was, as he wrongly believed she was 35 instead of 24.&lt;/p&gt;

  3143.  
  3144.  
  3145. &lt;p&gt;The 29-year-old went up two dress sizes from a size 6 to a 10 after leaving the villa and said she was lucky the weight &amp;#8220;goes to all the right places&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3146.  
  3147.  
  3148.  
  3149. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;It goes to my bum and boobs mainly, so my boobs are really big at the moment&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  3153. &lt;p&gt;Last year Millie, who has been getting lip filler since she was 17, spoke about having clearer skin after battling with acne flare-ups for years. &lt;/p&gt;
  3154.  
  3155.  
  3156.  
  3157. &lt;p&gt;The former fashion buyer said she planned to have micro-needling &amp;#8211; which smooths the skin by using small needles to increase collagen production &amp;#8211; to mask her acne scars. &lt;/p&gt;
  3158.

  3178.  
  3179.  
  3180.  
  3181. &lt;p&gt;While she was booted off just days later, after failing to win over any of the boys, she’s now &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35624427/love-island-star-unrecognisable-body-builder-lavena-back/&quot;&gt;turning heads for another reason&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  3186.  
  3187.  
  3188.  
  3189. &lt;p&gt;While she didn’t walk away with a trophy, the mum-of-two, who tied the knot two years ago, said the “journey lit a fire in me” online, hinting she will be returning for more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  3206.  
  3207.  
  3208.  
  3209. &lt;p&gt;Post her 2017 show appearance, Tyne-Lexy Clarkson claimed she had a “daily influx” of emails offering free cosmetic procedures from firms desperate for publicity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3210.  
  3211.  
  3212.  
  3213. &lt;p&gt;Later she would claim to be “too scared” to have &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/plastic-surgery/&quot;&gt;plastic surgery&lt;/a&gt; or cosmetic procedures due to fearing needles so badly she would “faint at a blood test”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3214.  
  3215.  
  3216.  
  3217. &lt;p&gt;However last year fans were &lt;a href=&quot;https://zephrapi.thesun.ie/tv/13574666/love-island-tyne-lexy-clarson-unrecognisable-bikini-boyfriend/&quot;&gt;double-taking after seeing snaps of the Brummie bombshell&lt;/a&gt;, 28, looking unrecognisable on a Majorca holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
  3218.  
  3219.  
  3220.  
  3221. &lt;p&gt;Tyne-Lexy hasn’t addressed whether she’s had any procedures done but has spoken about lifestyle changes and taking supplements.&lt;/p&gt;
  3222.  
  3223.  
  3224.  
  3225. &lt;p&gt;Back in 2018 she &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7132909/love-islands-tyne-lexy-clarson-shows-off-incredible-body-transformation-after-losing-a-stone-in-six-weeks-and-dropping-two-dress-sizes/#:~:text=After%20ditching%20junk%20food%20and,dropped%20a%20stone%20in%20weight.&amp;amp;text=Speaking%20about%20her%20expereience%2C%20she,am%20ready%20for%20another%20adventure.%E2%80%9D&quot;&gt;shed a stone and dropped two dress sizes in six weeks&lt;/a&gt;, admitting she &amp;#8220;let herself go” after the show when she went back to university. &lt;/p&gt;
  3226.  
  3227.  
  3228.  
  3229. &lt;p&gt;She also spoke about having &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/13597061/love-islands-tyne-lexy-clarson-cleared-acne-depressed-raging-mood-swings/&quot;&gt;clearer skin thanks to a herbal supplement&lt;/a&gt; after suffering acute acne breakouts on-and-off for years, which left her “really depressed”.&lt;/p&gt;

  3242.  
  3243.  
  3244.  
  3245. &lt;p&gt;In arguably one of the most dramatic post-villa transformations, Harley Judge is now a man mountain. &lt;/p&gt;
  3246.  
  3247.  
  3248.  
  3249. &lt;p&gt;The bodybuilding gym fanatic, who has gained a whopping 30kg of muscle, has participated in multiple &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/competitions/&quot;&gt;competitions&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  3250.  
  3251.  
  3252.  
  3253. &lt;p&gt;He previously said he was &amp;#8220;absolutely gutted&amp;#8221; to be the first person voted off Love Island in 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  3254.  
  3255.  
  3256.  
  3257. &lt;p&gt;Harley recalled working out five times a week and spending &amp;#8220;half my life hungover&amp;#8221; prior to the show, revealing he would go out drinking multiple times a week before he &amp;#8220;broke the cycle&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  3270.  
  3271.  
  3272.  
  3273. &lt;p&gt;Glaswegian Harry Young was the first Islander to be recruited through the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dating/&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/a&gt; app &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tinder/&quot;&gt;Tinder&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; and said he applied because he &amp;#8220;didn’t have the chance to date” during the pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;
  3274.  
  3275.  
  3276.  
  3277. &lt;p&gt;He was among the mass culling of contestants four days into his stint when six were kicked off in an especially cut-throat episode in 2021.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3278.  
  3279.  
  3280.  
  3281. &lt;p&gt;Six months on from his TV appearance fans said the car salesman, 28, was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/8208019/love-island-star/&quot;&gt;unrecognisable after switching his quiffed flowing hair&lt;/a&gt; for a sharp fade with a flat fringe.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3282.  
  3283.  
  3284.  
  3285. &lt;p&gt;The transformation became apparent after he shared a selfie on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, captioned: “Ring light making eyes go mad,” showing off his brightly coloured irises.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  3302.  
  3303.  
  3304.  
  3305. &lt;p&gt;No-nonsense northerner Jess White debuted a striking new look in August last year, not long after departing the villa.&lt;/p&gt;
  3306.  
  3307.  
  3308.  
  3309. &lt;p&gt;Rather than her usual slicked-back look, Jess, 26, framed her face with new thick bangs and had layers sliced into her glossy locks, leading some fans to brand her unrecognisable.&lt;/p&gt;
  3310.  
  3311.  
  3312.  
  3313. &lt;p&gt;She&amp;#8217;s since gone a step further and lightened her do, adding blonde highlights.&lt;/p&gt;
  3314.  
  3315.  
  3316.  
  3317. &lt;p&gt;Jess has also been open on social media about having filler in her lips.&lt;/p&gt;

  3334.  
  3335.  
  3336.  
  3337. &lt;p&gt;Since leaving the villa in 2021, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/faye-winter/&quot;&gt;Faye Winter&lt;/a&gt; has gone in the opposite direction to most Love Islanders by undoing cosmetic treatments she&amp;#8217;d previously had.&lt;/p&gt;
  3338.  
  3339.  
  3340.  
  3341. &lt;p&gt;She also shed nearly two stone, which she put on during the show due to “sitting around eating” all of the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  3342.  
  3343.  
  3344.  
  3345. &lt;p&gt;Upon leaving the show, Faye had her lip filler completely dissolved, which she admitted was a “shock to the system” because she believed it made her teeth and nose look bigger.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3346.  
  3347.  
  3348.  
  3349. &lt;p&gt;Later, in an emotional plea to dissuade others from experimenting with injectables, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/exeter/&quot;&gt;Exeter&lt;/a&gt; stunner, 30, told fans: “I’ve ruined my face through over-filling and not getting the correct advice.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3350.  
  3351.  
  3352.  
  3353. &lt;p&gt;Sharing snaps of her “lumpy” lips, Faye admitted having had 4ml of filler injected and admitted to being “full of embarrassment and regret” seeing snaps of herself back on the show.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3354.  
  3355.  
  3356.  
  3357. &lt;p&gt;Two years on from the emotional posts, she hasn’t addressed whether she’s continued to undergo cosmetic procedures but her lips appear plumper again in recent snaps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  3373. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/olivia-attwood/&quot;&gt;Olivia Attwood&lt;/a&gt; has never shied away from spilling the tea on all of her nips, tucks and ‘tweakments’.&lt;/p&gt;
  3374.  
  3375.  
  3376.  
  3377. &lt;p&gt;But in recent years she’s exposed the problems of appearance-altering ops and has openly recognised her own fixation on them, which started from a young age and led her on a “dangerous road to nowhere”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3378.  
  3379.  
  3380.  
  3381. &lt;p&gt;Two years on from leaving the villa in 2019, she spent £2,500 on chin liposuction and contouring and revealed she had been having fillers for six years.&lt;/p&gt;
  3382.  
  3383.  
  3384.  
  3385. &lt;p&gt;She had them dissolved after realising she had gone “too far” and noticing her lip had “come out of the lip line and started to look really puffy”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3386.  
  3387.  
  3388.  
  3389. &lt;p&gt;That same year Olivia had breast reduction surgery, having first had giant implants inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-price/&quot;&gt;Katie Price&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jodie-marsh/&quot;&gt;Jodie Marsh&lt;/a&gt; when she was 19 years old.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3390.  
  3391.  
  3392.  
  3393. &lt;p&gt;She told Heat magazine: “They were really heavy and too big for my body, so I was starting to get some really bad aching.&lt;/p&gt;
  3394.  
  3395.  
  3396.  
  3397. &lt;p&gt;“I can&amp;#8217;t wait to be able to wear more clothes now without my boobs falling out, putting people off their dinner.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3398.  
  3399.  
  3400.  
  3401. &lt;p&gt;Last year, Olivia &amp;#8211; who is a fan of a slightly more natural look now &amp;#8211; launched her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv2/&quot;&gt;ITV2&lt;/a&gt; docuseries The Price of Perfection, which follows people undergoing drastic transformations.&lt;/p&gt;
  3402.  
  3403.  
  3404.  
  3405. &lt;p&gt;Inspired by her own body-altering mishaps, she said: “I think what I&amp;#8217;ve learned &amp;#8211; and a lot of people have learned &amp;#8211; is that with our bodies, we&amp;#8217;ve got to be so careful not to follow fashion.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  3433. &lt;p&gt;THE Met Office has issued a yellow warning for rain amid fears of thunderstorms as the recent heatwave finally comes to an end.&lt;/p&gt;
  3434.  
  3435.  
  3436.  
  3437. &lt;p&gt;Parts of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt; are set to experience &amp;#8220;persistent, heavy rain&amp;#8221; from as early as 6am tomorrow as temperatures drop down towards average levels for this time of year.&lt;/p&gt;

  3450.  
  3451.  
  3452.  
  3453. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/heatwave/&quot;&gt;heatwave&lt;/a&gt;, which had grappled some areas of Britain for as many as six days, came to an end yesterday as temperatures were no longer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35456905/uk-heatwave-map-met-office/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;above the given threshold&lt;/a&gt; for three consecutive days.&lt;/p&gt;
  3454.  
  3455.  
  3456.  
  3457. &lt;p&gt;The yellow warning for rain has been put in place for much of western &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/scotland/&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/a&gt; from 6am tomorrow until 3pm on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  3458.  
  3459.  
  3460.  
  3461. &lt;p&gt;It warns that the heavy rain could lead to &amp;#8220;difficult travel conditions and possible flooding in places&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3462.  
  3463.  
  3464.  
  3465. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/met-office/&quot;&gt;Met Office&lt;/a&gt; has also cautioned residents that there could be &amp;#8220;some interruption to &lt;span id=&quot;3ccd1613-2999-402f-9eb9-ef84af3ce41b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;power&lt;/span&gt; supplies&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3466.  
  3467.  
  3468.  
  3469. &lt;p&gt;Travel chaos could also follow, as bus and train services could be impacted by the rainfall.&lt;/p&gt;
  3470.  
  3471.  
  3472.  
  3473. &lt;p&gt;The Met Office said: &amp;#8220;Rain is expected to be persistent, and heavy at times, during much of Friday and overnight, before slowly easing later on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  3474.  
  3475.  
  3476.  
  3477. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;40 to 60 mm rain is expected to build up quite widely with in excess of 100 mm over a few mountains.&lt;/p&gt;
  3478.  
  3479.  
  3480.  
  3481. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Rain will be accompanied by windy conditions, especially Friday daytime when gusts will reach 40 to 50 mph around coasts and hills.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3482.  
  3483.  
  3484.  
  3485. &lt;p&gt;Areas affected by the warning include Perth and Kinross, Stirling, the Highlands, Argyll and Bute, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, Renfrewshire, and West Dunbartonshire.&lt;/p&gt;
  3486.  
  3487.  
  3488.  
  3489. &lt;p&gt;For today, the Met Office has forecast a &amp;#8220;north-south split&amp;#8221; in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather/&quot;&gt;weather&lt;/a&gt;, with southern areas expected to enjoy &amp;#8220;mostly dry&amp;#8221; conditions with &amp;#8220;warm spells of sunshine&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  3513. &lt;p&gt;However, northerly areas are predicted to have &amp;#8220;rather cool conditions&amp;#8221; as temperatures drop.&lt;/p&gt;
  3514.  
  3515.  
  3516.  
  3517. &lt;p&gt;This also comes with a warning of &amp;#8220;frequent blustery showers&amp;#8221; amidst a &amp;#8220;risk of isolated thunderstorms&amp;#8221; throughout the afternoon in northern regions.&lt;/p&gt;
  3518.  
  3519.  
  3520.  
  3521. &lt;p&gt;Met Office weather maps indicate that much of the rain is expected to fall across western &lt;span id=&quot;a61ecbfb-b602-48fc-88a4-9e297afd4bf2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/span&gt; this afternoon as well as much of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/northern-ireland/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Northern &lt;span id=&quot;5bfd44d6-abf7-424d-9758-e66ec94bba46&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Ireland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3522.  
  3523.  
  3524.  
  3525. &lt;p&gt;As the afternoon progresses, many of these showers continue eastwards, with some also stretching down towards the Lake District in northern &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3526.  
  3527.  
  3528.  
  3529. &lt;p&gt;This comes after a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35656236/uk-weather-sun-rain-map/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;yellow thunderstorm warning&lt;/a&gt; was issued for the north east of &lt;span id=&quot;b541fd60-dde1-419d-a6fe-df7b68368e24&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;England&lt;/span&gt; and south east of Scotland yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  3530.  
  3531.  
  3532.  
  3533. &lt;p&gt;Brits were warned to brace for heavy showers and storms which led to travel chaos and a risk of flooding in these areas.&lt;/p&gt;
  3534.  
  3535.  
  3536.  
  3537. &lt;p&gt;It came &lt;span&gt;less than 24 hours after sun seekers basked in glorious sunshine on Tuesday &amp;#8211; the&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35640494/uk-weather-forecast-today-heat-thunderstorm-rain/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hottest day of the year so far&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3538.  
  3539.  
  3540.  
  3541. &lt;p&gt;Temperatures exceeded 34C in some areas earlier this week, sending Brits rushing to beaches and outdoor pools to cool off.&lt;/p&gt;
  3542.  
  3543.  
  3544.

  3622.  
  3623.  
  3624.  
  3625. &lt;p&gt;Tributes for the late Jota, who leaves behind his wife and three children, have poured in from around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  3626.  
  3627.  
  3628.  
  3629. &lt;p&gt;And Premier League champions Liverpool have also issued an emotional statement on the passing of their late winger.&lt;/p&gt;

  3631.  
  3632.  
  3633. &lt;p&gt;It read: &amp;#8220;Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota.&lt;/p&gt;

  3635.  
  3636.  
  3637. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The club have been informed the 28-year-old has passed away following a road traffic accident in Spain along with his brother, Andre.&lt;/p&gt;
  3638.  
  3639.

  3641. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Liverpool FC will be making no further comment at this time and request the privacy of Diogo and Andre’s family, friends, teammates and club staff is respected as they try to come to terms with an unimaginable loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  3642.  
  3643.

  3689. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Much more than an amazing player, with almost 50 internationalizations for the National A Team, Diogo Jota was an extraordinary person, respected by all teammates and opponents, someone with an infectious joy and a reference in the community itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  3690.  
  3691.  
  3692.  
  3693. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On my behalf, and on behalf of the Portuguese Football Federation, I express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Diogo and &lt;span id=&quot;c7fa69e0-3ece-4ae4-9b0c-310f2db59ab4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Andre Silva&lt;/span&gt;, as well as &lt;span id=&quot;b23fb43b-08ff-4a47-97bf-cc9a52da19fb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/span&gt; FC and FC Penafiel, the clubs where, respectively, lined up the players.&lt;/p&gt;
  3694.  
  3695.  
  3696.  
  3697. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Portuguese Football Federation has already asked &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uefa/&quot;&gt;UEFA&lt;/a&gt; for a minute&amp;#8217;s silence, this Thursday, before the match of our national team with Spain, in the women&amp;#8217;s European &lt;span id=&quot;2d186346-36c2-4006-852f-d90decfb1c13&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Championship&lt;/span&gt;, lost to two champs. &lt;/p&gt;
  3698.  
  3699.  
  3700.  
  3701. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The disappearance of Diogo and Andre Silva represents irreparable losses for Portuguese football and we will do everything to, daily, honour their legacy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3702.  
  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705. &lt;p&gt;Jota&amp;#8217;s passing was made even more tragic by the fact that he just got married late last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  3706.  
  3707.  
  3708.  
  3709. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;f7c57095-5d5b-42cf-baa8-efc77d131884&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Portugal&lt;/span&gt; ace tied the knot with long-time girlfriend Rute Cardoso in a beautiful ceremony ten days ago.&lt;/p&gt;

  3726. &lt;p&gt;And the late Jota couldn&amp;#8217;t have been any prouder to have wed the love of his life, sharing a heartwarming post of their big day to his &lt;span id=&quot;2e1af783-6975-4a78-bed6-471accb40d67&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/span&gt; in what would be his final post.&lt;/p&gt;
  3727.  
  3728.  
  3729.  
  3730. &lt;p&gt;In the caption, the couple said: “June 22, 2025. Yes to forever.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3731.  
  3732.  
  3733.  
  3734. &lt;p&gt;Jota began his career in his homeland with Pacos de Ferreira before a 2015 move to Atletico Madrid, for whom he failed to make an appearance. &lt;/p&gt;
  3735.  
  3736.  
  3737.  
  3738. &lt;p&gt;He caught the eye of then-Championship side Wolves in the summer of 2017 following an impressive loan spell with Porto. &lt;/p&gt;
  3739.  
  3740.  
  3741.  
  3742. &lt;p&gt;Jota flourished in the Black Country and helped guide Wolves back to the Premier League with 18 goals in his first season in England. &lt;/p&gt;
  3743.  
  3744.  
  3745.  
  3746. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;d score a further 26 times for the club before a 2020 move to Liverpool, where he won every domestic trophy going and scored 65 goals in 185 appearances before his tragic passing.&lt;/p&gt;

  3906. DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: &lt;/p&gt;
  3908. &lt;div&gt;
  3909. &lt;p&gt;The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. &lt;/p&gt;
  3910. &lt;p&gt;Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a &amp;#8216;strong growth in clothing&amp;#8217; and M&amp;amp;S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.&lt;/p&gt;
  3911. &lt;p&gt;Asda&amp;#8217;s clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3912. &lt;p&gt;So what is it about supermarket&amp;nbsp;fashion that is becoming so successful?&lt;/p&gt;
  3913. &lt;p&gt;Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it&amp;#8217;s good quality too &amp;#8211; with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.&lt;/p&gt;
  3914. &lt;p&gt;A lot of the time they keep&amp;nbsp;to classic pieces that they know will last the customer&amp;nbsp;year after year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3915. &lt;p&gt;Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.&lt;/p&gt;
  3916. &lt;/div&gt;
  3917. &lt;/div&gt;
  3918. &lt;/div&gt;
  3920.

  3922.  
  3923. &lt;p&gt;There’s even a stunning &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Orange Puff Sleeve Bow Back Mini Dress (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://go.skimresources.com/?id=34784X1028065&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdirect.asda.com%2Fgeorge%2Fwomen%2Fdresses%2Fbillie-faiers-orange-puff-sleeve-bow-back-mini-dress%2FGEM1284860%2Cdefault%2Cpd.html%3Fcgid%3DD1M1G20C1&amp;amp;xcust=35675307+&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Orange Puff Sleeve Bow Back Mini Dress&lt;/a&gt;, that will set shoppers back £28 but is sure to be a head-turner.&lt;/p&gt;

  3979. When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there&amp;#039;s no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg... &lt;/p&gt;
  3981. &lt;div&gt;
  3982. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They’re convenient&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street. &lt;/p&gt;
  3983. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It’s affordable&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; For basics &amp;nbsp;to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn’t look cheap.&lt;/p&gt;
  3984. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They’re more on-trend that you think&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply.&lt;/p&gt;
  3985. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They fit well &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought.&lt;/p&gt;
  3986. &lt;/div&gt;

  4045.  
  4046.  
  4047.  
  4048. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the gathered skirt is a midaxi length &amp;#8211; great for going from the beach to dinner.&lt;/p&gt;
  4049.  
  4050.  
  4051.  
  4052. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Throw this pure cotton beach dress over your swimsuit for a pretty poolside look,&amp;#8221; Marks &amp;amp; Spencer bosses said.&lt;/p&gt;

  4065.  
  4066.  
  4067.  
  4068. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I love this dress. A cover over a bikini or a floaty dress for day or night. It’s the perfect colour and fit,&amp;#8221; one said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4069.  
  4070.  
  4071.

  4141. Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds. &lt;/p&gt;
  4143. &lt;div&gt;
  4144. &lt;ol&gt;
  4145. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t ever spend on designer denim:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/river-island/&quot;&gt;River Island&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8221;always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends&amp;#8221;. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 &amp;#8211; UK 18, and three leg lengths &amp;#8211; and prices start from an affordable £25.&lt;/li&gt;
  4146. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are no rules for jewels:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8221;Pick up something at a car boot sale, or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/20956889/uks-most-expensive-charity-shop/&quot;&gt;charity shop&lt;/a&gt;, scroll on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/vinted/&quot;&gt;Vinted&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ebay/&quot;&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt;, snap up something from the clothing section in your local&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27840447/fashion-fans-supermarket-flattering-dress/&quot;&gt;supermarket&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;when doing the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/shopping-food-and-drink/&quot;&gt;food shop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or check out high street clothing stores.&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  4147. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don’t forget the pre-loved sites:&lt;/strong&gt; With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/25683353/depop-tips-top-seller-second-hand-clothes/&quot;&gt;Depop&lt;/a&gt;, there&amp;#8217;s no excuse for not buying &amp;#8211; or selling &amp;#8211; pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.&lt;/li&gt;

  4553. &lt;p&gt;SEAN &amp;#8220;Diddy&amp;#8221; Combs spent 10 months behind bars as he waited to hear his fate inside a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday. &lt;/p&gt;

  4557. &lt;p&gt;Many believed the disgraced music mogul was set to get life in prison over racketeering and &lt;span id=&quot;1f40bf37-bad2-4600-a06b-cf56e2808c77&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;sex&lt;/span&gt; trafficking charges but when the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35654807/sean-diddy-combs-sex-trafficking-trial-verdict/&quot;&gt;verdicts were read&lt;/a&gt; out Combs fell to his knees in &lt;span id=&quot;2df6fdef-e73d-4956-8b6a-23d84dc21ad0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;glee&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4570.  
  4571.  
  4572.  
  4573. &lt;p&gt;He managed to escape the most serious charges as he was acquitted on the worst cases after the $10million case against him proved unsuccessful.&lt;/p&gt;
  4574.  
  4575.  
  4576.  
  4577. &lt;p&gt;The New York jury did find the Bad Boy rapper, 55, guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.&lt;/p&gt;
  4578.  
  4579.  
  4580.  
  4581. &lt;p&gt;But with each count carrying just a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35669436/diddy-trial-not-guilty-decision-walk-free-update/&quot;&gt;maximum 10-year prison sentence&lt;/a&gt; and no minimum, Combs&amp;#8217; legal team sighed a breath of relief in the courtroom.&lt;/p&gt;
  4582.  
  4583.  
  4584.  
  4585. &lt;p&gt;His final sentence is yet to be announced but he is likely to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35671474/diddy-get-time-served-after-disastrous-case/&quot;&gt;spend a minimal number of years&lt;/a&gt; locked up giving his first time offender status.&lt;/p&gt;
  4586.  
  4587.  
  4588.  
  4589. &lt;p&gt;As arguably the trial of the century kicked off earlier this year many had thought Combs had &lt;span id=&quot;7e48243e-6b18-4f1d-b7a0-f71294ba25f3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; to no chance of getting off so lightly.&lt;/p&gt;
  4590.  
  4591.  
  4592.  
  4593. &lt;p&gt;The majority of federal cases end in a conviction and with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34967604/sean-diddy-combs-star-island-miami-beach-freak-off/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;freak off&amp;#8221; revelations&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35491919/diddy-mansion-weapons-ketamine/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;baby oil hauls&lt;/a&gt; and disturbing claims all being made public at trial, the case seemed simple to most.&lt;/p&gt;
  4594.  
  4595.  
  4596.  
  4597. &lt;p&gt;But as the final judgments were made and Combs mouthed to his &lt;span id=&quot;3d482844-c18a-4a03-85d0-6d5693ad06d8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;family&lt;/span&gt; he&amp;#8217;ll be &amp;#8220;home soon&amp;#8221;, questions emerged around how he escaped a severe punishment. &lt;/p&gt;
  4598.  
  4599.  
  4600.  
  4601. &lt;p&gt;Many now believe the fault lies with the prosecution for aiming too high with their charges.&lt;/p&gt;
  4602.  
  4603.  
  4604.  
  4605. &lt;p&gt;They lobbied for a complicated racketeering case that is typically reserved for the most high profile mob bosses.&lt;/p&gt;
  4606.  
  4607.  
  4608.  
  4609. &lt;p&gt;The burden of proof needed to convict a criminal on such charges will always be tough to reach due to the repercussions of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35669436/diddy-trial-not-guilty-decision-walk-free-update/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;life behind bars&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4632.  
  4633. &lt;p&gt;And as the prosecution scrambled to keep the music producer locked up with a myriad of witnesses and claims, the defence simply played down the seriousness of Combs&amp;#8217; crimes.&lt;/p&gt;
  4634.  
  4635.  
  4636.  
  4637. &lt;p&gt;Combs&amp;#8217; defence had always remained firm in their admission of some form of guilt from the very start of the trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  4638.  
  4639.  
  4640.  
  4641. &lt;p&gt;His lawyer Teny Geragos made an extraordinary admission in her opening statement in court.&lt;/p&gt;
  4642.  
  4643.  
  4644.  
  4645. &lt;p&gt;She described Combs as a domestic abuser with a vicious temper.&lt;/p&gt;
  4646.  
  4647.  
  4648.  
  4649. &lt;p&gt;One of the most shocking pieces of evidence was presented right at the start of the trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  4650.  
  4651.  
  4652.  
  4653. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35223323/diddy-federal-trial-week-four/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Combs&amp;#8217; assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura&lt;/a&gt; at the InterContinental hotel in Los Angeles presented a damning case.&lt;/p&gt;
  4654.  
  4655.  
  4656.  
  4657. &lt;p&gt;He was seen kicking her on the ground in vile CCTV footage which even Geragos labelled “indefensible, horrible, dehumanising and violent”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4658.  
  4659.  
  4660.  
  4661. &lt;p&gt;But it did little to help the prosecution prove Combs was the ringleader of a sex trafficking operation. &lt;/p&gt;
  4662.  
  4663.  
  4664.  
  4665. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35676316&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.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/07/marc-agnifilo-teny-geragos-attorneys-1007144385.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, attorneys for Sean &amp;quot;Diddy&amp;quot; Combs, after a bail hearing.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35676316&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;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Combs&amp;#8217; teams of Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos ,managed to get their client off on the most serious charges[/caption]

  4674.  
  4675.  
  4676.  
  4677. &lt;p&gt;As Geragos put it on the first day: &amp;#8220;It is evidence of domestic violence.&lt;/p&gt;
  4678.  
  4679.  
  4680.  
  4681. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But it is not evidence of sex trafficking.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4682.  
  4683.  
  4684.  
  4685. &lt;p&gt;As the trial continued, the defence remained adamant that all the pieces of evidence were simply painting a picture of a disturbed individual rather than a calculated criminal. &lt;/p&gt;
  4686.  
  4687.  
  4688.  
  4689. &lt;p&gt;Marc Agnifilo, the mogul’s attorney, even said in his eyes Combs was simply living a &amp;#8220;swinger’s lifestyle&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4690.  
  4691.  
  4692.  
  4693. &lt;p&gt;They even managed to twist some of the trial&amp;#8217;s key pieces of information to benefit their main argument. &lt;/p&gt;
  4694.  
  4695.  
  4696.  
  4697. &lt;p&gt;When images of the countless bottles of baby oil and sexual lubricant were shown in court after a raid on Comb&amp;#8217;s home Agnifilo remarked that there is nothing illegal about owning such a stash.&lt;/p&gt;
  4698.  
  4699.  
  4700.  
  4701. &lt;p&gt;Another key defensive point was around consent.&lt;/p&gt;
  4702.  
  4703.  
  4704.  
  4705. &lt;p&gt;In order to get a guilty verdict over sex trafficking under US &lt;span id=&quot;4cbb7a29-81d0-4f87-a63a-c019c23da05b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;law&lt;/span&gt;, a person must have used force, fraud, or coercion in order to traffic a victim for sexual explosion purposes.&lt;/p&gt;
  4706.  
  4707.  
  4708.  
  4709. &lt;p&gt;So for Combs to be found guilty on both charges, the prosecution had to prove both Cassie and second victim known as &amp;#8220;Jane&amp;#8221; did not give their consent.&lt;/p&gt;
  4710.  
  4711.  
  4712.  
  4713. &lt;p&gt;They had attempted to say Combs compelled both women to take part in orgies through the threats of violence and financial manipulation.&lt;/p&gt;
  4714.

  4721. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  4724. &lt;div&gt;
  4725. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Senior News Reporter, Forrest McFarland &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4726. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEAN &amp;#8220;Diddy&amp;#8221; Combs&amp;#8217; future still hangs in the balance as the court continues to argue whether he should walk free after dodging his most serious federal charges.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4727. &lt;p&gt;After seven weeks of emotional testimony, a jury&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35654807/sean-diddy-combs-sex-trafficking-trial-verdict/&quot;&gt;found the rapper guilty of two lesser charges&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;but acquitted him of the three counts that each could have landed him a life sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  4728. &lt;p&gt;Combs was found guilty of two counts of transportation for purposes of prostitution, and each charge has a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.&lt;/p&gt;
  4729. &lt;p&gt;However, legal experts have warned that he shouldn&amp;#8217;t celebrate too soon, as they speculate that the rapper will likely have to spend some time behind bars.&lt;/p&gt;
  4730. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He’s looking at 15 plus years under the sentencing guideline on each count, and he gets a multiplier for multiple victims,&amp;#8221; former federal prosecutor David Weinstein told&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/diddy-prison-sentence-length-verdict/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NewsNation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4731. &lt;p&gt;“The judge can run them consecutive, and he might, with an additional multiplying factor, find himself bumping up against 10 on each count.&lt;/p&gt;
  4732. &lt;p&gt;“So, for people to say or think that he’s going to get credit time served and walk out of here, I think that’s a pipe dream for the defense.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4733. &lt;p&gt;In a submission made after the verdict was announced, Diddy&amp;#8217;s defense argued that a prison term of 21 to 27 months would be reasonable, and pointed out that he&amp;#8217;s already served 10 months.&lt;/p&gt;
  4734. &lt;p&gt;But prosecutors believe that he should be punished with a minimum of 51 to 63 months behind bars because of aggravating circumstances, like claims that Diddy was physically abusive.&lt;/p&gt;
  4735. &lt;/div&gt;
  4736. &lt;/div&gt;
  4737. &lt;/div&gt;
  4739.  
  4740.  
  4741.  
  4742. &lt;p&gt;But Mr Agnifilo said the women always had the chance to leave. &lt;/p&gt;
  4743.  
  4744.  
  4745.  
  4746. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on Cassie after she bravely took to the stand while pregnant, the attorney stated: &amp;#8220;No one’s forcing her to do this.&lt;/p&gt;
  4747.  
  4748.  
  4749.  
  4750. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She’s a woman who actually likes sex – good for her.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4751.  
  4752.  
  4753.  
  4754. &lt;p&gt;For a racketeering conspiracy charge to stick, prosecutors needed to show Combs had knowing co-conspirators. &lt;/p&gt;
  4755.  
  4756.  
  4757.  
  4758. &lt;p&gt;It was argued that he co-opted his loyal employees &amp;#8211; including chief of staff, Kristina Khorram.&lt;/p&gt;
  4759.  
  4760.  
  4761.  
  4762. &lt;p&gt;Several names of alleged accomplices cropped up across the trial but the prosecution never subpoenaed them.&lt;/p&gt;
  4763.  
  4764.  
  4765.  
  4766. &lt;p&gt;Due to them not being called as a witness or ever being questioned, this may have confused the jury and contributed to them finding Combs not guilty.&lt;/p&gt;
  4767.  
  4768.  
  4769.  
  4770. &lt;p&gt;Michael Bachner, a New York-based criminal defence lawyer and former District Attorney, told &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/07/02/sean-diddy-combs-trial-federal-sex-acquittal-trafficking/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Telegraph&lt;/a&gt; racketeering is notoriously hard to prove. &lt;/p&gt;
  4771.  
  4772.  
  4773.  
  4774. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;There was evidence of people helping him, but I think it was still a stretch for them to prove that this was part of some concerted conspiracy to do it as opposed to just telling people what to do.&lt;/p&gt;
  4775.  
  4776.  
  4777.  
  4778. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It just didn’t smell like a RICO case to a lot of people, so that’s what I think the government’s problem was with it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4779.  
  4780.  
  4781.  
  4782. &lt;p&gt;Mr Agnifilo repeated his bashing of the prosecution as he labelled the case as a &amp;#8220;badly, badly exaggerated story&amp;#8221; during closing arguments. &lt;/p&gt;
  4783.  
  4784.  
  4785.  
  4786. &lt;p&gt;Another major issue was due to Cassie and Jane both being long term partners of Combs.&lt;/p&gt;
  4787.  
  4788.  
  4789.  
  4790. &lt;p&gt;Tony Buzbee, a US lawyer familiar with Combs&amp;#8217; case, said the nature of the relationships may have been a major issue for the jury.&lt;/p&gt;
  4791.  
  4792.  
  4793.  
  4794. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;I think the jury struggled with the difficult issue of consent and more broadly whether Mr Combs’s conduct appropriately fit within the racketeering statute.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4795.

  4827.  
  4828. &lt;p&gt;THREE Mobile is bring back FREE roaming for thousands of holidaymakers this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  4829.  
  4830.  
  4831.  
  4832. &lt;p&gt;It &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34962264/free-roaming-mobile-firms-2025/&quot;&gt;axed free roaming&lt;/a&gt; for new customers and upgrades from in October 2021 and started charging £2 per day for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europe/&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt; or up to £7 per day for other destinations.&lt;/p&gt;
  4833.  
  4834.  
  4835.  
  4836. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35670033&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/NINTCHDBPICT000385187070.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Three mobile phone shop sign.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35670033&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;630&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Most customers were charged as much as £7 for using their mobile data while abroad[/caption]
  4837.  
  4838.  
  4839.  
  4840. &lt;p&gt;Customers who signed up before October 2021 still had access to free roaming. &lt;/p&gt;
  4841.  
  4842.  
  4843.  
  4844. &lt;p&gt;Now it&amp;#8217;s bringing back the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/28602338/free-roaming-mobile-providers/&quot;&gt;free roaming&lt;/a&gt; offer for two plans &amp;#8211; it&amp;#8217;s Value and Complete tariff.&lt;/p&gt;
  4845.  
  4846.  
  4847.  
  4848. &lt;p&gt;This change comes shortly after Three &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35230096/vodafone-merger-three-mobile-network/&quot;&gt;completed a &amp;#8220;mega-merger&amp;#8221; with Vodafone&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4849.  
  4850.  
  4851.  
  4852. &lt;p&gt;For the Value Plan, it costs £14 per month and gives free roaming in 49 European countries. &lt;/p&gt;
  4853.  
  4854.  
  4855.  
  4856. &lt;p&gt;While it&amp;#8217;s Complete Plan is £19 per month and offers free roaming in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/europe/&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt; and 114 destinations worldwide. &lt;/p&gt;
  4857.  
  4858.  
  4859.  
  4860. &lt;p&gt;However, there&amp;#8217;s a fair usage limit of 12GB every four weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  4861.  
  4862.  
  4863.  
  4864. &lt;p&gt;If you go over this limit, you&amp;#8217;ll be charged 3p for every extra MB used.&lt;/p&gt;
  4865.  
  4866.  
  4867.  
  4868. &lt;p&gt;If you joined Three after June 22, free roaming is included in your plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  4869.  
  4870.  
  4871.  
  4872. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re an existing customer, you&amp;#8217;ll need to switch to a new plan to get free roaming.&lt;/p&gt;

  5078.  
  5079.  
  5080.  
  5081. &lt;p&gt;Before switching mobile plans, check if you&amp;#8217;re still in contract to avoid high exit fees.&lt;/p&gt;
  5082.  
  5083.  
  5084.  
  5085. &lt;p&gt;Over 33million people are out of contract, according to Uswitch, so it&amp;#8217;s worth checking if you can upgrade or switch to avoid paying more than necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
  5086.  
  5087.  
  5088.  
  5089. &lt;p&gt;To check your contract status, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/9392828/mobile-users-can-switch-provider-with-just-a-text/&quot;&gt;text &amp;#8220;INFO&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; followed by your date of birth (DDMMYY) to 85075.&lt;/p&gt;
  5090.  
  5091.  
  5092.  
  5093. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll get a text confirming if you&amp;#8217;d need to pay an early termination fee.&lt;/p&gt;
  5094.  
  5095.  
  5096.  
  5097. &lt;p&gt;These fees only apply if you&amp;#8217;re still in contract.&lt;/p&gt;
  5098.  
  5099.  
  5100.  
  5101. &lt;p&gt;If no fee is mentioned, you&amp;#8217;re likely out of contract and free to switch.&lt;/p&gt;
  5102.  
  5103.  
  5104.  
  5105. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What tariffs don&amp;#8217;t involve inclusive roaming?&lt;/h2&gt;

  5111.

  5146. &lt;p&gt;GiffGaff plans can be used in the EU and some other destinations at no extra cost.&lt;/p&gt;

  5148. &lt;p&gt;If you’re a pay as you go customer, the provider will charge you at the usual UK rates.&lt;/p&gt;

  5192.  
  5193.  
  5194.  
  5195. &lt;p&gt;SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY’s financial crisis deepened after six stars reportedly handed in notices over unpaid wages.&lt;/p&gt;
  5196.  
  5197.  
  5198.  
  5199. &lt;p&gt;The Championship club are in crisis mode with owner Dejphon Chansiri refusing to inject any more cash into the coffers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5200.  
  5201.  
  5202.  
  5203. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35676144&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/detailed-view-sheffield-wednesday-corner-1000693151.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Sheffield Wednesday corner flag at Hillsborough stadium.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35676144&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;Six Sheffield Wednesday players have handed in their notices over unpaid wages[/caption]
  5204.  
  5205.  
  5206.  
  5207. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35676095&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/dejphon-chansiri-owner-chairman-sheffield-970570383.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Dejphon Chansiri, owner and chairman of Sheffield Wednesday.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35676095&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;Dejphon Chansiri is refusing to put any more of his money into the club coffers[/caption]
  5208.  
  5209.  
  5210.  
  5211. &lt;p&gt;And unpaid players are raging after being left out of pocket for several months.&lt;/p&gt;
  5212.  
  5213.  
  5214.  
  5215. &lt;p&gt;SunSport exclusively revealed how upset stars &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35618449/sheffield-wednesday-efl-players-money-wages/&quot;&gt;have asked the EFL to send them money&lt;/a&gt;, with Wednesday now &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35460768/championship-sheffield-wednesday-transfer-embargo-efl/&quot;&gt;banned from buying players until 2027.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5216.  
  5217.  
  5218.  
  5219. &lt;p&gt;Out-of-contract stars like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35646156/sheffield-wednesday-chansiri-barry-bannan-efl/&quot;&gt;Barry Bannan have also left Hillsborough&lt;/a&gt; after seeing their deals expire.&lt;/p&gt;
  5220.  
  5221.  
  5222.  
  5223. &lt;p&gt;And now, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/07/02/six-sheffield-wednesday-players-hand-notice-unpaid-wages/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Telegraph (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Telegraph&lt;/a&gt; claims that six players have handed in their notices over unpaid wages from May and June.&lt;/p&gt;
  5224.  
  5225.  
  5226.  
  5227. &lt;p&gt;All squad members are able to hand in a 15-day notice period to terminate their contracts.&lt;/p&gt;
  5228.  
  5229.  
  5230.  
  5231. &lt;p&gt;It’s currently unknown which six stars have decided to head down that route.&lt;/p&gt;
  5232.  
  5233.  
  5234.  
  5235. &lt;p&gt;But with dissent growing, more could follow in the coming days as Wednesday “battle to avoid a full-scale mutiny.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5236.  
  5237.  
  5238.  
  5239. &lt;p&gt;Even manager Danny Rohl has not turned up for pre-season, with the gaffer said to be nearing a severance deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  5240.  
  5241.  
  5242.  
  5243. &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;
  5244.  
  5245.  
  5246.  
  5247. &lt;p&gt;Assistant boss Henrik Pedersen is in line to replace him, but only if he receives assurances over several details.&lt;/p&gt;
  5248.  
  5249.  
  5250.  
  5251. &lt;p&gt;And elsewhere, clubs including Southampton and Norwich are still reportedly owed fees for deals dating back to 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  5252.

  5274.  
  5275. &lt;p&gt;It now looks likely that Wednesday will be hit with a major points penalty for the new Championship season.&lt;/p&gt;
  5276.  
  5277.  
  5278.  
  5279. &lt;p&gt;But whether Chansiri is still at the helm remains to be seen amid growing takeover interest.&lt;/p&gt;
  5280.  
  5281.  
  5282.  
  5283. &lt;p&gt;An American consortium has already &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35442971/sheffield-wednesday-takeover-new-stadium-plans-wrexham/&quot;&gt;seen an offer of £48million turned down.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5284.  
  5285.  
  5286.  
  5287. &lt;p&gt;While former Crystal Palace chief &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35555593/crystal-palace-john-textor-sheffield-wednesday-takeover/&quot;&gt;John Textor is interested in making a bid.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5288.  
  5289.  
  5290.  
  5291. &lt;p&gt;Even former owner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35457368/sheffield-wednesday-takeover-milan-mandaric-talks/&quot;&gt;Milan Mandaric has jetted to Sheffield&lt;/a&gt; in a bid to save his old side from going under.&lt;/p&gt;
  5292.  
  5293.  
  5294.  
  5295. &lt;p&gt;And for now, the future of Wednesday appears uncertain.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5382.  
  5383.  
  5384.  
  5385. &lt;p&gt;The bold tennis enthusiast from Guildford caused a stir when she dipped her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/28920949/supermarket-strawberries-cream-pimms-wimbledon/&quot;&gt;strawberries &lt;/a&gt;into a tub of Domino&amp;#8217;s garlic and herb dip.&lt;/p&gt;
  5386.  
  5387.  
  5388.  
  5389. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Everyone does cream &amp;#8211; I wanted something different. Sweet, savoury, and a little bit weird… but it works!&lt;/p&gt;
  5390.  
  5391.  
  5392.  
  5393. &lt;p&gt;“I brought it as a bit of a laugh, but honestly, people loved it. I think I’ve started something.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5394.  
  5395.  
  5396.  
  5397. &lt;p&gt;Reactions ranged from horrified to curious, with some even asking for a taste.&lt;/p&gt;
  5398.  
  5399.  
  5400.  
  5401. &lt;p&gt;One fellow &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35620499/wimbledon-2025-live-results-raducanu-alcaraz-updates/&quot;&gt;tennis &lt;/a&gt;fan said: &amp;#8220;I had to double take when I saw it, but I think it&amp;#8217;s pretty gross.&lt;/p&gt;
  5402.  
  5403.  
  5404.  
  5405. &lt;p&gt;“&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35622063/tested-strawberries-cream-ice-cream/&quot;&gt;Strawberries and cream&lt;/a&gt; are a match made in heaven &amp;#8211; this dip should be reserved for pizza, and only pizza.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5406.  
  5407.  
  5408.  
  5409. &lt;p&gt;But Jennifer Holmes, from London disagreed, saying: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m all for the sweet and savoury mix &amp;#8211; someone has to start the trend, take peanut butter and jelly for example, that started with confusion but then went on to take the world by storm.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5410.  
  5411.  
  5412.  
  5413. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35669671/wimbledon-donna-vekic-gym-wine-cellar/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon &lt;/a&gt;is reported to get through more than 1.9 million strawberries every year, as fans flock from around the globe for the beloved snack.&lt;/p&gt;
  5414.  
  5415.  
  5416.  
  5417. &lt;p&gt;This equates to a staggering 200,000 portions enjoyed each year during the Championships.&lt;/p&gt;
  5418.  
  5419.  
  5420.  
  5421. &lt;p&gt;They’re drizzled in more than 7,000 litres of cream, although that number may drop slightly, if the bizarre Garlic &amp;amp; Herb Dip trend catches on.&lt;/p&gt;

  5445. &lt;p&gt;The price for a portion of strawberries and cream  remained the same for a decade and a half, however, this year Wimbledon has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35498137/wimbledon-strawberries-cream-price-hike-15-years/&quot;&gt;officially hiked up its prices. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5446.  
  5447.  
  5448.  
  5449. &lt;p&gt;The iconic item has seen a 20p increase in price, going from £2.50 to £2.70. &lt;/p&gt;
  5450.  
  5451.  
  5452.  
  5453. &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35649310/wimbledon-match-suspended-fans-help-medics/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon &lt;/a&gt;spokesperson said: &amp;#8220;We feel that this modest increase still ensures that our world-famous strawberries are available at a very reasonable price.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5454.  
  5455.  
  5456.  
  5457. &lt;p&gt;Another thing that has changed in recent years, is a plant-based cream for vegans, made available at certain outlets around the facility.&lt;/p&gt;
  5458.  
  5459.  
  5460.  
  5461. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35536524/dominos-axed-popular-pizza/&quot;&gt;Domino’s&lt;/a&gt;, said: “When this popped up on our Instagram, it was the first time we&amp;#8217;ve seen someone enjoying our dip with strawberries!&lt;/p&gt;
  5462.  
  5463.  
  5464.  
  5465. &lt;p&gt;“How people enjoy our Garlic &amp;amp; Herb Dip is up to them &amp;#8211; after all, lots of strange combinations were only strange until someone tried them.&lt;/p&gt;
  5466.  
  5467.  
  5468.  
  5469. &lt;p&gt;“Perhaps next year we’ll see raspberries dipped into BBQ Sauce, or bananas drizzled with Honey and Mustard.&lt;/p&gt;
  5470.  
  5471.  
  5472.  
  5473. &lt;p&gt;“Brits are renowned for their sense of individualism, and there’s nothing more British than Wimbledon, so keep your eyes peeled.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5505. &lt;p&gt;MORTGAGE bills could jump for millions of households if plans to shake up cash ISAs go ahead, UK&amp;#8217;s biggest lenders have warned.&lt;/p&gt;
  5506.  
  5507.  
  5508.  
  5509. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/yorkshire/&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt;, Coventry and Skipton Building Society have all said costs could rise if the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/&quot;&gt;cash&lt;/a&gt; ISA tax-free allowance is slashed.&lt;/p&gt;
  5510.

  5514.  
  5515.  
  5516.  
  5517. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35641625/rachel-reeves-isa-slash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves is reportedly eyeing cutting the maximum amount savers&lt;/a&gt; can add into a cash ISA without being taxed from £20,000 to £5,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  5518.  
  5519.  
  5520.  
  5521. &lt;p&gt;At the moment, you can stash away £20,000 a year in ISA savings accounts without paying any tax on interest or earnings.&lt;/p&gt;
  5522.  
  5523.  
  5524.  
  5525. &lt;p&gt;But all three major lenders have cautioned this could limit their ability to raise the funds used to offer customers loans, &lt;a aria-label=&quot;The Telegraph reports (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/07/03/cash-isa-raid-will-drive-mortgage-prices-building-societies/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Telegraph reports&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5526.  
  5527.  
  5528.  
  5529. &lt;p&gt;Chris Irwin, &lt;span id=&quot;4a9eb242-28fb-43c0-a2c3-b24b188fb9a7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/span&gt; Building Society’s head of savings, said: &amp;#8220;Reducing Isa deposits could make &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mortgages/&quot;&gt;mortgages&lt;/a&gt; more expensive and less available.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5530.  
  5531.  
  5532.  
  5533. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Cash Isas make up 39% of all building societies’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/a&gt; savings balances.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5534.  
  5535.  
  5536.  
  5537. &lt;p&gt;Mr Irwin also said ISA cuts could hamper Labour&amp;#8217;s push to build 1.5million &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes/&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/a&gt; by the end of its five-year term.&lt;/p&gt;
  5538.  
  5539.  
  5540.  
  5541. &lt;p&gt;Skipton Building Society, the UK&amp;#8217;s fourth largest building society, said it had warned Ms Reeves that her plans risk “directly undermining the Government’s own &lt;span id=&quot;eb723d5b-6caa-422e-bf8f-f32fd8cc9292&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;target&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34030411/rachel-reeves-confirms-cash-injection/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;building 1.5m new homes&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5542.  
  5543.  
  5544.  
  5545. &lt;p&gt;Its chief executive, Charlotte Harrison, added: &amp;#8220;If ISA inflows fall, the cost of funding is likely to rise, and that means mortgages could become both more expensive and harder to access.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5546.  
  5547.  
  5548.  
  5549. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Jeremy Cox, head of strategy at Coventry Building Society, said plans to shake up the cash ISA market could affect building societies’ &amp;#8220;ability to support mortgage lending and potentially leading to higher cost of mortgages and a fall in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/housing-market/&quot;&gt;housing market&lt;/a&gt; activity&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5550.  
  5551.  
  5552.  
  5553. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Chancellor plans to cut cash ISA allowances&lt;/h2&gt;
  5554.  
  5555.  
  5556.  
  5557. &lt;p&gt;The warning from the lenders comes as the Chancellor reportedly prepares to reveal plans to cut the cash ISA limit at her Mansion House speech on July 15, as first reported by The Financial Times.&lt;/p&gt;

  5581. &lt;p&gt;Ms Reeves said last month she had no plans to reduce the total amount that can be saved into ISAs each year.&lt;/p&gt;
  5582.  
  5583.  
  5584.  
  5585. &lt;p&gt;But City bosses have been urging her to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34007560/chancellor-cuts-savings-allowance-cash-isa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;reduce the cash ISA allowance to encourage&lt;/a&gt; savers to invest their money in stocks instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  5586.  
  5587.  
  5588.  
  5589. &lt;p&gt;It comes as the government tackles a giant budget deficit &amp;#8211; in the 2023/24 financial year it was £131billion &amp;#8211; equivalent to 4.8%&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35368976/uk-economy-falls-gdp-money/&quot;&gt;of GDP&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5593. &lt;p&gt;A government deficit is when a government&amp;#8217;s total spending exceeds the revenue it brings in.&lt;/p&gt;
  5594.  
  5595.  
  5596.  
  5597. &lt;p&gt;The annual cash ISA tax-free allowance was set at £20,000 in the 2017/18 tax year and has not changed since.&lt;/p&gt;
  5598.  
  5599.  
  5600.  
  5601. &lt;p&gt;A Whitehall source familiar with discussions told The FT that negotiations about what level the Cash ISA limit could be set at are st ill ongoing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5602.  
  5603.  
  5604.  
  5605. &lt;p&gt;Cash ISAs are the most popular of the four different ISA accounts, with roughly 12.4million holding one.&lt;/p&gt;
  5606.  
  5607.

  5620. IF you&amp;#039;re looking for a traditional type of mortgage, getting the best rates depends entirely on what&amp;#039;s available at any given time. &lt;/p&gt;
  5622. &lt;div&gt;
  5623. &lt;p&gt;There are several ways to land the best deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  5624. &lt;p&gt;Usually the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/14804872/how-much-can-i-borrow-mortgage/&quot;&gt;larger the deposit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;you have the lower the rate you can get.&lt;/p&gt;
  5625. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re remortgaging and your loan-to-value ratio (LTV) has changed, you&amp;#8217;ll get access to better rates than before.&lt;/p&gt;
  5626. &lt;p&gt;Your LTV will go down if your outstanding mortgage is lower and/or your home&amp;#8217;s value is higher.&lt;/p&gt;
  5627. &lt;p&gt;A change to your credit score or a better salary could also help you access better rates.&lt;/p&gt;
  5628. &lt;p&gt;And if you&amp;#8217;re nearing the end of a fixed deal soon it&amp;#8217;s worth looking for new deals now.&lt;/p&gt;
  5629. &lt;p&gt;You can lock in current deals sometimes up to six months before your current deal ends.&lt;/p&gt;
  5630. &lt;p&gt;Leaving a fixed deal early will usually come with an early exit fee, so you want to avoid this extra cost.&lt;/p&gt;
  5631. &lt;p&gt;But depending on the cost and how much you could save by switching versus sticking, it could be worth paying to leave the deal &amp;#8211; but compare the costs first.&lt;/p&gt;
  5632. &lt;p&gt;To find the best deal use a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/mortgages/best-buys/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;mortgage comparison tool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to see what&amp;#8217;s available.&lt;/p&gt;
  5633. &lt;p&gt;You can also go to a mortgage broker who can compare a much larger range of deals for you.&lt;/p&gt;
  5634. &lt;p&gt;Some will charge an extra fee but there are plenty who give advice for free and get paid only on commission from the lender.&lt;/p&gt;
  5635. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll also need to factor in fees for the mortgage, though some have no fees at all.&lt;/p&gt;
  5636. &lt;p&gt;You can add the fee &amp;#8211; sometimes more than £1,000 &amp;#8211; to the cost of the mortgage, but be aware that means you&amp;#8217;ll pay interest on it and so will cost more in the long term.&lt;/p&gt;
  5637. &lt;p&gt;You can&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/14676601/mortgage-payment-calculator-how-much/&quot;&gt;use a mortgage calculator&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to see how much you could borrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  5638. &lt;p&gt;Remember you&amp;#8217;ll have to pass the lender&amp;#8217;s strict eligibility criteria too, which will include affordability checks and looking at your credit file.&lt;/p&gt;
  5639. &lt;p&gt;You may also need to provide documents such as utility bills, proof of benefits, your last three month&amp;#8217;s payslips, passports and bank statements.&lt;/p&gt;
  5640. &lt;/div&gt;
  5641. &lt;/div&gt;

  5647. &lt;p&gt;How much any changes to the cash ISA allowance will affect you depends on how much you usually add into yours.&lt;/p&gt;
  5648.  
  5649.  
  5650.  
  5651. &lt;p&gt;For example, if you only add £4,000 into yours every year, the planned changes won&amp;#8217;t make a difference to you.&lt;/p&gt;
  5652.  
  5653.  
  5654.  
  5655. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;TOP ISA TIPS&lt;/h2&gt;
  5656.  
  5657.  
  5658.  
  5659. &lt;p&gt;Cash ISAs are so popular because they offer savers a guarantee of not losing any &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5660.  
  5661.  
  5662.  
  5663. &lt;p&gt;This is in comparison to Stocks and Shares ISAs which can fluctuate in value based on your investments.&lt;/p&gt;
  5664.  
  5665.  
  5666.  
  5667. &lt;p&gt;Sarah Coles, personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said a mixed portfolio of ISAs will see you get the best &lt;span id=&quot;fd4a02c4-6438-4fe3-add5-ccd6e351cefc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;bang for your buck&lt;/span&gt; though.&lt;/p&gt;
  5668.  
  5669.  
  5670.  
  5671. &lt;p&gt;You can add money into multiple ISAs at one time, so long as you don&amp;#8217;t breach the current £20,000 annual allowance.&lt;/p&gt;
  5672.  
  5673.  
  5674.  
  5675. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s also worth shopping around for the best deals too, Sarah said.&lt;/p&gt;
  5676.  
  5677.  
  5678.  
  5679. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;How you divide your annual allowance between cash and stocks and shares will depend on your time horizon, risk profile and objectives, but most people should consider a mix of both.&lt;/p&gt;
  5680.  
  5681.  
  5682.  
  5683. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you’re planning a cash ISA, don’t just go with your usual bank, because online banks and savings platforms are competing hard for your money at the moment, so it really pays to shop around and consider all the alternatives.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5684.  
  5685.  
  5686.  
  5687. &lt;p&gt;If you are worried about opening a Stocks and Shares ISA, research is key as you don&amp;#8217;t want to invest badly.&lt;/p&gt;
  5688.  
  5689.  
  5690.  
  5691. &lt;p&gt;Websites like AJ Bell or MoneySavingExpert.com offer top tips on how best to go about opening one.&lt;/p&gt;
  5692.  
  5693.  
  5694.  
  5695. &lt;p&gt;In any case, the returns you get on Stocks and Shares ISAs over the longer term compared to Cash ISAs are usually much bigger.&lt;/p&gt;
  5696.  
  5697.  
  5698.  
  5699. &lt;p&gt;Just bear in mind with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investing/&quot;&gt;investing&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;there is always a risk attached.&lt;/p&gt;
  5700.  
  5701.  
  5702.  
  5703. &lt;p&gt;Myron Jobson, from interactive investor, said: &amp;#8220;Those willing to take on some investment risk could see better long-term returns through a stocks and shares ISA.&lt;/p&gt;
  5704.  
  5705.  
  5706.  
  5707. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While the value of investments can go up and down,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;shows that stock&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/markets/&quot;&gt;markets&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;tend to outperform cash over extended&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id=&quot;e5f75f22-e52f-48e4-8feb-638e1efb4d74&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;periods&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5756.  
  5757.  
  5758.  
  5759.  
  5760.  
  5761. &lt;p&gt;SIR Keir Starmer today insisted he was sticking with Rachel Reeves “for a long time to come” as he scrambled to calm panicked markets following her tearful outburst.&lt;/p&gt;
  5762.  
  5763.  
  5764.  
  5765. &lt;p&gt;The PM personally guaranteed the Chancellor’s job after refusing to do so yesterday as she sat weeping beside him.&lt;/p&gt;
  5766.  
  5767.  
  5768.  
  5769. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35675728&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 950px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image_bd7945.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=940&quot; alt=&quot;Two politicians seated in parliament, one speaking to the other.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35675728&quot; width=&quot;940&quot; height=&quot;701&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves weeps alongside Sir Keir yesterday&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5770.  
  5771.  
  5772.  
  5773. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35676092&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 719px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image_54d2dc.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=709&quot; alt=&quot;Man speaking into a microphone in a radio studio.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35676092&quot; width=&quot;709&quot; height=&quot;393&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Sir Keir speaking to Chris Evans on Virgin Radio today&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5774.  
  5775.  
  5776.  
  5777. &lt;p&gt;He said her emotional display &amp;#8211; caught on live TV &amp;#8211; was a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35672155/chancellor-rachel-reeves-tears-pmqs-labour-crisis-starmer/&quot;&gt;“purely personal” matter &lt;/a&gt;and he was not even aware it was happening.&lt;/p&gt;
  5778.  
  5779.  
  5780.  
  5781. &lt;p&gt;Scenes of Ms Reeves &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35662397/rachel-reeves-in-tears-in-commons/&quot;&gt;crying in the Commons&lt;/a&gt; sparked speculation around her future which spooked investor confidence.&lt;/p&gt;
  5782.  
  5783.  
  5784.  
  5785. &lt;p&gt;In a bid to ease market jitters today, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/keir-starmer/&quot;&gt;Sir Keir &lt;/a&gt;revealed he had a &amp;#8220;long chat&amp;#8221; with her last night and she was staying in post.&lt;/p&gt;
  5786.  
  5787.  
  5788.  
  5789. &lt;p&gt;He told Virgin Radio: “She is an excellent Chancellor, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35668928/bond-markets-pound-dollar-rachel-reeves-city/&quot;&gt;she will be Chancellor for a very long time to come&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; into the next election and beyond it.&lt;/p&gt;
  5790.  
  5791.  
  5792.  
  5793. &lt;p&gt;“She and I are absolutely committed to our fiscal rules and the economic stability that is so important to this country.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5794.  
  5795.  
  5796.  
  5797. &lt;p&gt;Despite attributing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35671859/rachel-reeves-crying-commons-welfare-clemmie-moodie/&quot;&gt;her tearful display to “personal reasons”&lt;/a&gt;, Ms Reeves had shortly before had a row with Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.&lt;/p&gt;
  5798.  
  5799.  
  5800.  
  5801. &lt;p&gt;During those exchanges &amp;#8211; in the middle of a painful week of benefit u-turns &amp;#8211; she admitted she was “under so much pressure”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5802.  
  5803.  
  5804.  
  5805. &lt;p&gt;Sir Keir said today: “Like all human beings we are personal, there are moments that catch us off guard and if you’re in front of a camera for large periods of your life unfortunately that can be caught on camera.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5806.  
  5807.  
  5808.  
  5809. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I actually personally didn&amp;#8217;t even appreciate it was happening in the chamber because I came in and I&amp;#8217;ve got questions being fired at me and PMQs and so I&amp;#8217;m sort of constantly up at the despatch box&lt;/p&gt;
  5810.  
  5811.  
  5812.  
  5813. &lt;p&gt;“But I think we just need to be clear it&amp;#8217;s a personal matter and I&amp;#8217;m not going to breach Rachel&amp;#8217;s privacy by going into what&amp;#8217;s a personal matter for her.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5814.  
  5815.  
  5816.  
  5817. &lt;p&gt;Yesterday the Chancellor, 46, was comforted by sister Ellie, a Labour minister, but Sir Keir did not speak to her as she was led to her office next to the Commons chamber.&lt;/p&gt;
  5818.  
  5819.  
  5820.  
  5821. &lt;p&gt;No 10 had to delete a clip from Sir Keir’s X because it showed&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Ms Reeves&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;crying next to him, though it insisted the Chancellor was “going nowhere”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5822.  
  5823.  
  5824.  
  5825. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35668928/bond-markets-pound-dollar-rachel-reeves-city/&quot;&gt;Money markets earlier panicked&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at the prospect of a change of Chancellor and possible abandonment of her spending rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  5826.  
  5827.  
  5828.  
  5829. &lt;p&gt;UK ten-year borrowing costs surged to 4.6 per cent and the Pound fell by one per cent against the Dollar to less than $1.36.&lt;/p&gt;
  5830.  
  5831.  
  5832.  
  5833. &lt;p&gt;Tuesday’s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35623372/keir-starmer-labour-rebels-more-welfare-concessions-hope/&quot;&gt;gutting of the welfare reforms&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;left Ms Reeves needing to plug a bigger hole in public savings — either by spending cuts, tax rises or borrowing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5834.  
  5835.  
  5836.  
  5837. &lt;p&gt;Tory leader &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kemi-badenoch/&quot;&gt;Kemi Badenoch&lt;/a&gt; pounced at Prime Minister’s Questions — quizzing Sir Keir about whether Ms Reeves would remain in place.&lt;/p&gt;
  5838.  
  5839.  
  5840.  
  5841. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35675733&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 761px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image_52533d.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=751&quot; alt=&quot;Woman in a navy blazer appearing emotional.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35675733&quot; width=&quot;751&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The Chancellor was upset over a &amp;#8216;personal matter&amp;#8217;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  5852. &lt;div&gt;
  5853. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11.50&lt;/strong&gt;: Rachel Reeves says she is under “so much pressure” just before Prime Minister’s Questions.&lt;/p&gt;
  5854. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12.00&lt;/strong&gt;: She appears at PMQs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5855. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12.12:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Kemi Badenoch twists the knife, asking the PM: “Will the Chancellor even be in post by the next election?”&lt;/p&gt;
  5856. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12.13&lt;/strong&gt;: Sir Keir Starmer dodges the question, and Ms Reeves is seen shedding tears in the background.&lt;/p&gt;
  5857. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12.45&lt;/strong&gt;: Downing Street insists the Chancellor is “going nowhere”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5858. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;13.00:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A spokesperson says Ms Reeves was dealing with a “personal matter”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5859. &lt;/div&gt;
  5860. &lt;/div&gt;
  5861. &lt;/div&gt;
  5863.  
  5864.  
  5865.  
  5866. &lt;p&gt;Taking aim at the puffy-eyed Chancellor,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kemi-badenoch/&quot;&gt;Ms Badenoch&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;said: “She looks absolutely miserable.&lt;/p&gt;
  5867.  
  5868.  
  5869.  
  5870. &lt;p&gt;“Labour MPs are going on the record saying the Chancellor is toast. The reality is she’s a human shield for his (the PM’s) incompetence. Will she really be in post for the next election?”&lt;/p&gt;
  5871.  
  5872.  
  5873.  
  5874. &lt;p&gt;In response, the PM did not confirm Ms Reeves would remain in post until 2029.&lt;/p&gt;
  5875.  
  5876.  
  5877.  
  5878. &lt;p&gt;He would only tell Ms Badenoch: “I have to say I’m always cheered when she asks me questions or responds to a statement because she always makes a complete mess of it and shows just how unserious and irrelevant they are.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5879.  
  5880.  
  5881.  
  5882. &lt;p&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n her first year in the job, Ms Reeves has faced fierce criticism over&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34998328/winter-fuel-u-turn-weeks/&quot;&gt;winter fuel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, welfare cuts, the National Insurance raid, sluggish growth, taxing farmers and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30592296/labour-freebies-scandal-harry-cole/&quot;&gt;taking freebies.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5925. &lt;p&gt;A MAKE-UP maven has shared her genius hack for getting the most &amp;#8220;snatched&amp;#8221; jawline ever &amp;#8211; simply by putting bronzer in a specific spot. &lt;/p&gt;
  5926.  
  5927.  
  5928.  
  5929. &lt;p&gt;While most of us put &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/make-up/&quot;&gt;bronzer &lt;/a&gt;on our cheeks, nose and forehead to contour the face, Megan insisted her way gives a much more lifted look. &lt;/p&gt;

  5942.  
  5943.

  5946.  
  5947.  
  5948.  
  5949. &lt;p&gt;In a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;video on her TikTok page (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@meganlavallie/video/7521793566205578510?_r=1&amp;amp;_t=ZN-8xgTRsDwmr0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;video on her TikTok page&lt;/a&gt;, the self-described beauty curator demonstrated the&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot;&gt; effectiveness of her trick &lt;/a&gt;as she did it on only one side of her face. &lt;/p&gt;
  5950.  
  5951.  
  5952.  
  5953. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There&amp;#8217;s one spot right here below the ear,&amp;#8221; she said. &lt;/p&gt;
  5954.  
  5955.  
  5956.  
  5957. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You blend that out under the jaw and behind the ear in a straight line.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5958.  
  5959.  
  5960.  
  5961. &lt;p&gt;She also urged people not to &amp;#8220;forget the ears&amp;#8221;, as she used her beauty blender to dab some of the bronzer on the top of hers. &lt;/p&gt;
  5962.  
  5963.  
  5964.  
  5965. &lt;p&gt;Megan concluded her video by turning from one side to the other, showing how the side she&amp;#8217;d done gave her &amp;#8220;the most snatched and lifted jaw&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  5966.  
  5967.  
  5968.  
  5969. &lt;p&gt;And people in the comments section were quick to praise Megan for sharing the clever hack. &lt;/p&gt;
  5970.  
  5971.  
  5972.  
  5973. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Whoa what a difference! Will try this for sure!&amp;#8221; one wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  5974.  
  5975.  
  5976.  
  5977. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ooohhhhh I need to try this!&amp;#8221; another added.&lt;/p&gt;
  5978.  
  5979.  
  5980.  
  5981. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Also make sure it’s cooled toned/ matte like you have &amp;#8211; not bronzer/ orange/ sparkly,&amp;#8221; a third advised. &lt;/p&gt;
  5982.  
  5983.  
  5984.  
  5985. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Added to favourites,&amp;#8221; someone else said. &lt;/p&gt;

  6014.  
  6015.  
  6016.  
  6017. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Omg it took me years to learn the most basic contour and now you’re changing it!&lt;/p&gt;
  6018.  
  6019.  
  6020.

  6022.  
  6023.  
  6024.  
  6025. &lt;p&gt;While Megan was using an MCoBeauty cream contour which is hard to get hold of in the UK, there&amp;#8217;s a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34544456/cream-bronzer-test-beauty/&quot;&gt;budget-friendly alternative&lt;/a&gt; Fabulous&amp;#8217; beauty editor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/tara-ledden/&quot;&gt;Tara Ledden &lt;/a&gt;swears by. &lt;/p&gt;
  6026.  
  6027.  
  6028.  
  6029. &lt;p&gt;Namely the £4 melting cream bronzer from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/boots&quot;&gt;Boots&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216; 17 range. &lt;/p&gt;
  6030.  
  6031.  
  6032.  
  6033. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;17 remains one of, if not the best, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/17585006/17-is-back-at-boots/&quot;&gt;budget beauty brands&lt;/a&gt; on the market with every make-up product in the line £5 or under,&amp;#8221; Tara explained. &lt;/p&gt;
  6034.  
  6035.  
  6036.  
  6037. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Don’t be fooled by the bargain prices, the formulas live up to products that cost ten times as much.&lt;/p&gt;
  6038.  
  6039.  
  6040.  
  6041. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The silky, balm texture makes this bronzer fool-proof to blend out.&lt;/p&gt;
  6042.  
  6043.  
  6044.  
  6045. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s easily buildable so you can layer it up for a darker colour, or use your finger to apply directly to your face to speed things up for the deepest colour pay-off.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6194. &lt;p&gt;Tributes have poured in from the star from the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35676375/diogo-jota-death-tributes-liverpool-car-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gary Neville and Piers Morgan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  6199.  
  6200.  
  6201.  
  6202. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Much more than an amazing player, with almost 50 internationalizations for the National A Team, Diogo Jota was an extraordinary person, respected by all teammates and opponents, someone with an infectious joy and a reference in the community itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  6203.  
  6204.  
  6205.  
  6206. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On my behalf, and on behalf of the Portuguese Football Federation, I express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Diogo and Andre Silva, as well as Liverpool FC and FC Penafiel, the clubs where, respectively, lined up the players.&lt;/p&gt;
  6207.  
  6208.  
  6209.  
  6210. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Portuguese Football Federation has already asked UEFA for a minute&amp;#8217;s silence, this Thursday, before the match of our national team with Spain, in the women&amp;#8217;s European Championship, lost to two champs.&lt;/p&gt;
  6211.  
  6212.  
  6213.  
  6214. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The disappearance of Diogo and Andre Silva represents irreparable losses for Portuguese football and we will do everything to, daily, honour their legacy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6420. &lt;p&gt;BRITAIN&amp;#8217;S second biggest energy firm is giving away half-price electricity to customers tomorrow afternoon. &lt;/p&gt;
  6421.  
  6422.  
  6423.  
  6424. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/british-gas/&quot;&gt;British Gas&lt;/a&gt; customers can get two hours of half price electricity through its Green Flex event. &lt;/p&gt;
  6425.  
  6426.  
  6427.

  6429.  
  6430.  
  6431.  
  6432. &lt;p&gt;The major &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy/&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt; supplier runs the scheme when it&amp;#8217;s windy or sunny and lots of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/renewable-energy/&quot;&gt;renewable energy&lt;/a&gt; is available. &lt;/p&gt;
  6433.  
  6434.  
  6435.  
  6436. &lt;p&gt;The event will run from 13:30pm and 15:30pm on Friday, July 4, meaning households can charge their smart devices and tackle a load of washing at a discounted cost. &lt;/p&gt;
  6437.  
  6438.  
  6439.  
  6440. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;To sign up customers need to be a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;British Gas&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;customers, have a smart meter and then register online for the PeakSave scheme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6441.  
  6442.  
  6443.  
  6444. &lt;p&gt;If you are already signed up for the scheme you do not need to anything extra to cash in on the savings.&lt;/p&gt;
  6445.  
  6446.  
  6447.  
  6448. &lt;p&gt;All savings will appear as a credit on customers’ energy bills.&lt;/p&gt;
  6449.  
  6450.  
  6451.  
  6452. &lt;p&gt;These Green Flex events are in addition to the energy providers usual PeakSave Sunday scheme. &lt;/p&gt;
  6453.  
  6454.  
  6455.  
  6456. &lt;p&gt;This offers half price electricity on Sunday between 11am and 4pm. &lt;/p&gt;
  6457.  
  6458.  
  6459.

  6461.  
  6462.  
  6463.

  6580. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Laura Court-Jones, Small Business Editor at Bionic&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;shared her tips. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6581. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Turn your heating down by one degree&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6582. &lt;p&gt;You probably won&amp;#8217;t even notice this tiny temperature difference, but what you will notice is a saving on your energy bills as a result. Just taking your thermostat down a notch is a quick way to start saving fast. This one small action only takes seconds to carry out and could potentially slash your heating bills by £171.70. &lt;/p&gt;
  6583. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Switch appliances and lights off&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6584. &lt;p&gt;It sounds simple, but fully turning off appliances and lights that are not in use can reduce your energy bills, especially in winter. Turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use, can save you up to £20 a year on your energy bills&lt;/p&gt;
  6585. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Install a smart meter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6586. &lt;p&gt;Smart meters are a great way to keep control over your energy use, largely because they allow you to see where and when your gas and electricity is being used. &lt;/p&gt;
  6587. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Consider switching energy supplier&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6588. &lt;p&gt;No matter how happy you are with your current energy supplier, they may not be providing you with the best deals, especially if you&amp;#8217;ve let a fixed-rate contract expire without arranging a new one. If you haven&amp;#8217;t browsed any alternative tariffs lately, then you may not be aware that there are better options out there. &lt;/p&gt;
  6589. &lt;/div&gt;
  6590. &lt;/div&gt;

  6659. &lt;p&gt;They told how &amp;#8220;one ousted Islander in particular will be much missed&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; and the news clearly hit hard with those watching at home as show OG &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35285287/alima-gagigo-love-island-2025-cast-contestant/&quot;&gt;Alima Gagigo&lt;/a&gt; was given the boot.&lt;/p&gt;
  6660.  
  6661.  
  6662.  
  6663. &lt;p&gt;She was forced to exit the series with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35643872/ryan-bannister-love-island-2025-bombshell/&quot;&gt;bombshell Ryan Bannister,&lt;/a&gt; who had only just set foot in the matchmaking show compound.&lt;/p&gt;
  6664.  
  6665.  
  6666.  
  6667. &lt;p&gt;Fans swiftly took to X to reveal they were taking action.&lt;/p&gt;
  6668.  
  6669.  
  6670.  
  6671. &lt;p&gt;One raged: &amp;#8220;Ofcom compliant filed. Justice for Alima producers you will pay for this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6672.  
  6673.  
  6674.  
  6675. &lt;p&gt;A second put: &amp;#8220;Me running to Ofcom after ITV dumped ALIMA.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6676.  
  6677.  
  6678.  
  6679. &lt;p&gt;A third added: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;M F**KING PHONING OFCOM WHY IS ALIMA DUMPED AND F**KING HELENA IS STILL THERE?!?!?!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6680.  
  6681.  
  6682.  
  6683. &lt;p&gt;One then quizzed: &amp;#8220;How do I complain to Ofcom, not 1 bombshell came in for Alima.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6684.  
  6685.  
  6686.  
  6687. &lt;p&gt;A fan them simply posted the &amp;#8220;Ofcom complaint link.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6688.  
  6689.  
  6690.  
  6691. &lt;p&gt;Their anger came just a day after &lt;/p&gt;

  6781.  
  6782. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;On Wednesday night’s episode of&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Tommy had a text asking&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35657215/two-islanders-dumped-love-island-brutal-vote-left-villa/&quot;&gt;all Islanders to gather round the Firepit. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6783.  
  6784.  
  6785.  
  6786. &lt;p&gt;A second text told Ryan and Billykiss, the new bombshells, to stand at the front.&lt;/p&gt;
  6787.  
  6788.  
  6789.  
  6790. &lt;p&gt;The boys were told to stand up if they&amp;#8217;d like to recouple with Billykiss.&lt;/p&gt;
  6791.  
  6792.  
  6793.  
  6794. &lt;p&gt;Conor stood up, and says his date went really well with Billykiss and he&amp;#8217;d be doing himself a disservice to not explore their connection.&lt;/p&gt;
  6795.  
  6796.  
  6797.  
  6798. &lt;p&gt;Alima, left uncoupled, then took Billykiss&amp;#8217; place up at the front.&lt;/p&gt;
  6799.  
  6800.  
  6801.  
  6802. &lt;p&gt;The girls then had to stand up if they&amp;#8217;d like to recouple with new bombshell Ryan, but none of the girls did so.&lt;/p&gt;
  6803.  
  6804.  
  6805.  
  6806. &lt;p&gt;Due to both being single, Alma and new bombshell Ryan were dumped from the show. &lt;/p&gt;
  6807.  
  6808.  
  6809.  
  6810. &lt;p&gt;Ryan remarked that his time was short but sweet, but it’s Alima’s exit that left the girls in tears, as Toni and Yasmin were both seen crying. &lt;/p&gt;
  6811.  
  6812.  
  6813.  
  6814. &lt;p&gt;Ryan had only just entered the show as a bombshell, alongside Billykiss. &lt;/p&gt;

  6881.  
  6882.  
  6883.  
  6884. &lt;p&gt;While 60 per cent say &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35213885/britain-summer-sunshine-heatwave-temperatures-weather/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; is their favourite time to socialise, and many (20 per cent) feel closest to friends during this season, it also means more time spent waiting.&lt;/p&gt;
  6885.  
  6886.  
  6887.  
  6888. &lt;p&gt;But 39 per cent will kill time waiting for their mate to eventually arrive by looking at their phones &amp;#8211; scrolling through social media (42 per cent), catching up on news (30 per cent), and checking emails (27 per cent).&lt;/p&gt;
  6889.  
  6890.  
  6891.  
  6892. &lt;p&gt;As a result, 45 per cent admitted they’ve drained their phone battery while waiting for their pals to arrive.&lt;/p&gt;

  6901.  
  6902.  
  6903.  
  6904. &lt;p&gt;“I find I can use the time to catch up on a bit of life admin &amp;#8211; aka check the football scores.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6905.  
  6906.  
  6907.  
  6908. &lt;p&gt;The most popular message sent by 35 per cent of those waiting is &amp;#8216;where are you?’.&lt;/p&gt;
  6909.  
  6910.  
  6911.  
  6912. &lt;p&gt;While 17 per cent go for the friendly approach of “Can’t wait to see you!”, 16 per cent are much more assertive and send a simple “hurry up”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6913.  
  6914.  
  6915.  
  6916. &lt;p&gt;When waiting for their friend, 61 per cent hunt for a cozy place to sit and 10 per cent search for a place to charge their phone.&lt;/p&gt;

  6953.  
  6954.

  6956. &lt;p&gt;Over 2000 Brits were surveyed for the study and 67 per cent said that trust was the most important value for pals to share.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7052. &lt;p&gt;After this, she used Cuprinol paint to give her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/privacy-fence/&quot;&gt;privacy fence&lt;/a&gt; a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glow-up/&quot;&gt;glow-up&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7053.  
  7054.  
  7055.  
  7056. &lt;p&gt;Additionally, she then created a raised area for seating and used bark and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35013304/home-bargains-hot-air-balloon-spiral-solar-light/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;lights&lt;/a&gt; to add some personality to the space. &lt;/p&gt;

  7464.  
  7465.  
  7466.  
  7467. &lt;p&gt;The Portuguese forward started his career in his birthplace of Porto, playing for Paços de Ferreira.&lt;/p&gt;
  7468.  
  7469.  
  7470.  
  7471. &lt;p&gt;He made his first Primeira Liga appearance in 2015 and a year later moved to Spanish giants &lt;span id=&quot;15106252-25e9-4b76-a452-e97122cac017&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Atletico Madrid&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7472.  
  7473.  
  7474.  
  7475. &lt;p&gt;But the diminutive striker never made an appearance in &lt;span id=&quot;531be312-8699-4ef8-abb6-9ba4bfb65ba1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;La Liga&lt;/span&gt; and spent a year on loan at FC Porto where he scored eight goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  7476.  
  7477.  
  7478.  
  7479. &lt;p&gt;This caught the eye of then-Championship side Wolves who loaned the 20-year-old before making the move permanent for a reported £12million.&lt;/p&gt;
  7480.  
  7481.  
  7482.  
  7483. &lt;p&gt;His 17 goals helped propel Wolves to the Premier League where he continued to impress at the highest level, scoring 16 goals over the following two seasons.&lt;/p&gt;

  7494. PEDRO Proenca, president of the Portuguese Football Federation, released a statement on the tragic death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. &lt;/p&gt;
  7496. &lt;div&gt;
  7497. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Portuguese Football Federation and all of Portuguese football are completely devastated by the deaths of Diogo Jota and André Silva, this morning, in Spain.&lt;/p&gt;
  7498. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Much more than an amazing player, with almost 50 internationalizations for the National A Team, Diogo Jota was an extraordinary person, respected by all teammates and opponents, someone with an infectious joy and a reference in the community itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  7499. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On my behalf, and on behalf of the Portuguese Football Federation, I express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Diogo and André Silva, as well as Liverpool FC and FC Penafiel, the clubs where, respectively, lined up the players.&lt;/p&gt;
  7500. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Portuguese Football Federation has already asked UEFA for a minute&amp;#8217;s silence, this Thursday, before the match of our national team with Spain, in the women&amp;#8217;s European Championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  7501. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Lost to two champs. The disappearance of Diogo and Andre Silva represent irreparable losses for Portuguese football and we will do everything to, daily, honor their legacy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7502. &lt;/div&gt;
  7503. &lt;/div&gt;
  7504. &lt;/div&gt;
  7506.  
  7507.  
  7508.  
  7509. &lt;p&gt;In 2020, &lt;span id=&quot;a1aff9bd-d2b1-4c7a-9318-37c5913d8a57&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Jurgen Klopp&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8216;s Liverpool bolstered their already strong striking options with Jota in a reported £45million deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  7510.  
  7511.  
  7512.  
  7513. &lt;p&gt;In five seasons at the club, he has scored 47 Premier League goals and helped Liverpool win the Premier League, &lt;span id=&quot;8c8a0da4-1c48-46e3-95b7-3dc4eb03e2b5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;FA Cup&lt;/span&gt; and two Carabao Cups.&lt;/p&gt;
  7514.  
  7515.  
  7516.  
  7517. &lt;p&gt;Jota has also been a mainstay in &lt;span id=&quot;667a5a58-d4ba-4662-9b4f-0c456216db3f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Portugal&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8216;s national team for the past five years, scoring 14 goals in 49 appearances for his country.&lt;/p&gt;
  7518.  
  7519.  
  7520.  
  7521. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this &lt;span id=&quot;49467457-070c-4a32-b34b-365e53e715f8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt;, he won the &lt;span id=&quot;e7cc3f76-7592-4592-b1b1-19df6e27659e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;UEFA&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nations-league/&quot;&gt;Nations League&lt;/a&gt;, coming on as a substitute in the final against &lt;span id=&quot;4ff56196-102a-4948-b069-56abefb9a836&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7522.  
  7523.  
  7524.  
  7525. &lt;p&gt;In a statement, Spain&amp;#8217;s civil guard said: &amp;#8220;The Civil Guard is investigating a road accident that occurred at 12.30 &lt;span id=&quot;e1092363-56c9-41c1-8418-50fce7dc0d43&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;this morning&lt;/span&gt; at kilometer 65 of the A52 motorway, in the municipality of Cernadilla, Zamora. &lt;/p&gt;
  7526.  
  7527.  
  7528.  
  7529. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A vehicle left the road on the left side. &lt;/p&gt;

  7534.  
  7535.  
  7536.  
  7537. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As a result of the accident, the car caught fire and both occupants died. &lt;/p&gt;
  7538.  
  7539.  
  7540.  
  7541. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Pending the completion of forensic tests, one of the deceased has been identified as Diogo Jota, a &lt;span id=&quot;4c275070-c7ad-4803-aa40-021c45557f19&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Liverpool FC&lt;/span&gt; player, and his brother Andre Felipe.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7553. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Sun Sports News Columnist, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/dan-king/&quot;&gt;Dan King&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7554. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DIOGO Jota won every major honour in English football with Liverpool before a car crash cruelly cut short his life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7555. &lt;p&gt;But the pain of Jota’s death will also be felt particularly hard at Wolves, where he played a key role in the club’s transformation, as well as in his native Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;
  7556. &lt;p&gt;The versatile forward was part of the squad that won a second Nations League title last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  7557. &lt;p&gt;And in the last fortnight, Jota had married long-term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he had three children.&lt;/p&gt;
  7558. &lt;p&gt;His sudden death at the age of 28, along with brother and fellow footballer Andre in an horrific accident, is heartbreaking.&lt;/p&gt;
  7559. &lt;p&gt;Because Jota was not only a highly gifted footballer, he was also one of the good guys.&lt;/p&gt;
  7560. &lt;p&gt;An intelligent, thoughtful man, who spoke English better than some natives and who dedicated himself to his career and family.&lt;/p&gt;
  7561. &lt;p&gt;By helping Liverpool win the Premier League title last season, Jota completed the full set of domestic trophies after the Reds lifted the FA Cup and League Cup in 2021/22.&lt;/p&gt;
  7562. &lt;p&gt;Although injury and competition for places restricted Jota’s contribution, he still scored key goals as Arne Slot’s side claimed a record-equalling 20th English championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  7563. &lt;p&gt;What turned out to be the last of his 65 strikes for the Reds was the only goal in the Merseyside derby at Anfield in February.&lt;/p&gt;
  7564. &lt;p&gt;It was typical Jota. While Everton defenders hesitated, the small but strong Portuguese forward bustled on to the ball, beat two men and buried the ball in the net.&lt;/p&gt;
  7565. &lt;p&gt;Jota had bumps in the road before reaching the top of the game with Liverpool and Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;
  7566. &lt;p&gt;After making his debut for Pacos de Ferreira at the age of 17, he moved to Atletico Madrid at 19.&lt;/p&gt;
  7567. &lt;p&gt;But he soon went on loan to Porto, where he did well enough to attract the attention of ambitious Wolves, who were then in the Championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  7568. &lt;p&gt;In his first season in England, he scored 17 league goals to fire the club back into the Premier League as champions.&lt;/p&gt;
  7569. &lt;p&gt;Jota was a popular member of the dressing room which featured a strong Portuguese contingent.&lt;/p&gt;
  7570. &lt;p&gt;He held his own in the top flight, but there was some surprise when Liverpool signed him in a deal worth up to £45m.&lt;/p&gt;
  7571. &lt;p&gt;Yet in his five seasons at Anfield, he played an important role in the Reds’ potent front four as the club claimed English honours and went close to European glory.&lt;/p&gt;
  7572. &lt;p&gt;Jota scored 21 times as Jurgen Klopp’s side hunted down a Quadruple in 2021/2, winning the domestic cups, taking the title race to the final day and losing the Champions League final to Real Madrid.&lt;/p&gt;
  7573. &lt;p&gt;His total of 65 goals in 182 appearances does not tell the full story of his contribution on and off the field. &lt;/p&gt;
  7574. &lt;p&gt;After coming close more than once, it was special for Jota finally to lift the Premier League trophy in May.&lt;/p&gt;
  7575. &lt;p&gt;For Portugal, Jota was part of a generation that delivered glory.&lt;/p&gt;
  7576. &lt;p&gt;He was uncapped when selected in the squad for the Nations League final stages on home soil in 2019 and did not feature, making his debut later in the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  7577. &lt;p&gt;Jota would go on to score 14 in 49 appearances. His last was as an extra-time substitute in last month’s Nations League final against Spain, which Portugal won on penalties.&lt;/p&gt;
  7578. &lt;p&gt;That triumph was part of what was surely the best year of Jota’s life. For it to have ended, in such terrible circumstances, is incomprehensible.&lt;/p&gt;
  7579. &lt;/div&gt;

  7622.  
  7623.  
  7624.  
  7625.  
  7626. &lt;p&gt;EVICTED Love Island star Megan has proved fans right and admitted her link to fellow Irish star Conor.&lt;/p&gt;
  7627.  
  7628.  
  7629.  
  7630. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35664314/love-island-megan-regrets-behaviour-villa/&quot;&gt;Since actress Megan Clarke&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; shock axe, the star has recalled Conor Phillips sliding into her DMs in the past.&lt;/p&gt;
  7631.  
  7632.

  7639.  
  7640.  
  7641.  
  7642. &lt;p&gt;The stunning 24-year-old has now revealed her connection to the sportsman. &lt;/p&gt;
  7643.  
  7644.  
  7645.  
  7646. &lt;p&gt;She told heatworld in an interview: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s so funny, right? So on day one, Conor told me that he followed me on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; four years ago, and I never followed him back.&lt;/p&gt;
  7647.  
  7648.  
  7649.  
  7650. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But then since coming out, I&amp;#8217;ve seen that he follows me on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; and he&amp;#8217;s actually commented on one of my TikToks. &lt;/p&gt;
  7651.  
  7652.  
  7653.  
  7654. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Again, I&amp;#8217;ve not followed him back or even realised he had commented on one.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7655.  
  7656.  
  7657.  
  7658. &lt;p&gt;She laughed: &amp;#8220;So, yeah, it&amp;#8217;s &lt;span id=&quot;b802f1a4-5f02-4731-84b8-008d72fa88f9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; that he&amp;#8217;s still trying four years later. &lt;/p&gt;
  7659.  
  7660.  
  7661.  
  7662. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s worked out for him now, I suppose.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  7663.  
  7664.  
  7665.  
  7666. &lt;p&gt;Eagle-eyed fans went wild over the theory &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35618819/love-island-megan-conor-pictures/&quot;&gt;that Megan and Conor&lt;/a&gt; knew each other before entering the villa &amp;#8211; after photos seemingly showed them at the same nightclub.&lt;/p&gt;
  7667.  
  7668.  
  7669.  
  7670. &lt;p&gt;Old snaps show Megan with a pal in a night club, while another picture supposedly clocks Conor in the same club long before they entered the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv2/&quot;&gt;ITV2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dating/&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/a&gt; show. &lt;/p&gt;
  7671.  
  7672.  
  7673.  
  7674. &lt;p&gt;The speculation comes after Megan was voted the least favourite girl by the public after an ugly split from Tommy.&lt;/p&gt;
  7675.  
  7676.  
  7677.  
  7678. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Irish star was booted out the villa after finding herself in the bottom &lt;span id=&quot;e2e839ab-9e85-4231-9f8d-a5c3f9d29a8e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;three girls&lt;/span&gt;, along with &lt;span id=&quot;d1fe159f-6ba2-4ea7-867c-6ea391ed18a6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Shakira&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35589120/love-island-megan-conor-hideaway-snogs/&quot;&gt;Megan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35600246/love-island-feud-toni-helena-hideaway/&quot;&gt;Toni.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  7703.  
  7704.  
  7705.  
  7706. &lt;p&gt;Moments before her exit, Megan told an emotional Conor that she would &amp;#8216;wait for him&amp;#8217; when he asked.&lt;/p&gt;
  7707.  
  7708.  
  7709.  
  7710. &lt;p&gt;However, Conor didn&amp;#8217;t offer to leave the villa alongside Megan, who he had spent the night with in the Hideaway.&lt;/p&gt;
  7711.  
  7712.  
  7713.  
  7714. &lt;p&gt;Conor told Ben by the Firepit: “I hand on heart do not think that anyone is going to come through that door that I fancy more than Megan… I look at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35628470/love-island-conor-real-feelings-megan-clue-dumped-fame/&quot;&gt;her like a girlfriend on the outside&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7719.  
  7720.  
  7721.  
  7722. &lt;p&gt;Fans were left unhappy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/15441648/love-island-winner-tommy-megan-huge-mistake/&quot;&gt;after she ditched Tommy&lt;/a&gt;, who she had been with from the start, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/15444214/love-island-beg-bosses-boot-meg-out/&quot;&gt;moved on with the rugby lad.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7723.  
  7724.

  7726. &lt;p&gt;The pair&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35559573/love-island-tommy-mates-slam-megan-kiss-conor/&quot;&gt;shared secret snogs on the Terrace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;behind smitten&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35335175/tommy-bradley-love-island-2025-cast-contestant/&quot;&gt;Tommy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s back,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/15444379/love-island-megan-conor-hideaway-snogs/&quot;&gt;infuriating viewers at home&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  7731.  
  7732.  
  7733.  
  7734. &lt;p&gt;Speaking previously about her regret over the way she handled the love triangle, she told On Demand Entertainment how she would have done things differently given the chance.&lt;/p&gt;
  7735.  
  7736.  
  7737.  
  7738. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;d take a breath.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7739.  
  7740.  
  7741.  
  7742. &lt;p&gt;The TV star continued: &amp;#8220;When you&amp;#8217;re in there, emotions are high. When you hear he said, she said stuff, it just winds you up even more.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7800.  
  7801.  
  7802.  
  7803. &lt;p&gt;Last year, Lauren opened up about the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27050778/charles-drury-lauren-goodger/&quot;&gt;struggles she had previously faced co-parenting daughter Larose, three, with Charles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7804.  
  7805.  
  7806.  
  7807. &lt;p&gt;However, the pair reunited earlier this year with friends telling The Sun that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34324121/lauren-goodger-reunion-ex-charles-drury-assault-charge/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lauren had moved Charles back into her home&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7808.  
  7809.  
  7810.  
  7811. &lt;p&gt;But last night the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-only-way-is-essex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Towie&lt;/a&gt; star posted a series of cryptic comments on Instagram and spoke about struggling with love.&lt;/p&gt;
  7812.  
  7813.  
  7814.  
  7815. &lt;p&gt;She penned on her Story: &amp;#8220;Love me well or leave me alone.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7816.  
  7817.  
  7818.  
  7819. &lt;p&gt;Another post saw her telling fans: &amp;#8220;Why have I been sitting here for hours with no tele on&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7820.  
  7821.  
  7822.  
  7823. &lt;p&gt;And a third said: &amp;#8220;The universe will literally sit you down and break you to humble you, then will isolate you.&lt;/p&gt;
  7824.  
  7825.  
  7826.  
  7827. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then give you back everything 10x to prove to you how powerful you are, and that everything is happening for a reason.&lt;/p&gt;
  7828.  
  7829.  
  7830.  
  7831. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Trust yourself, the Universe and your path.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7832.  
  7833.  
  7834.  
  7835. &lt;p&gt;The reality TV legend then shared a sizzling bathroom selfie, and wore denim hot pants with a pretty pink camisole top.&lt;/p&gt;
  7836.  
  7837.  
  7838.  
  7839. &lt;p&gt;She wrote alongside the snap: &amp;#8220;In the sky&amp;#8221; adding the hashtag &amp;#8220;onwards and upwards&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  7953. &lt;p&gt;GEORDIE Shore bosses are planning to launch two huge new spin-off shows as it goes into its 15th year on-air.&lt;/p&gt;
  7954.  
  7955.  
  7956.  
  7957. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mtv/&quot;&gt;MTV&lt;/a&gt; programme has been on-air since 2011 and has already seen two new spin-offs launched over the past year.&lt;/p&gt;

  7970.  
  7971.  
  7972.  
  7973. &lt;p&gt;Now, it appears that channel execs are hoping to build on this success by launching two more.&lt;/p&gt;
  7974.  
  7975.  
  7976.  
  7977. &lt;p&gt;Show stars &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kyle-christie/&quot;&gt;Kyle Christie&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marnie-simpson/&quot;&gt;Marnie Simpson&lt;/a&gt; will become the stars of their own mini-series as they both enter into new chapters in their personal lives. &lt;/p&gt;
  7978.  
  7979.  
  7980.  
  7981. &lt;p&gt;As MTV and Paramount bosses are so happy with the footage they’ve shot for the new series of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/geordie-shore/&quot;&gt;Geordie Shore&lt;/a&gt;, they’ve greenlit the two spin-off specials starring the pair.&lt;/p&gt;
  7982.  
  7983.  
  7984.  
  7985. &lt;p&gt;A show source told The Sun: “The first one will focus on Kyle&amp;#8217;s lavish wedding to his wife Vicky, which took place in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rome/&quot;&gt;Rome&lt;/a&gt; in June. &lt;/p&gt;
  7986.  
  7987.  
  7988.  
  7989. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was initially going to feature in the main series itself, but there was so much drama from filming, producers couldn’t squeeze it all into the regular run so they decided to build a special spin-off around it instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  7990.  
  7991.  
  7992.  
  7993. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There will also be a second spin off which will follow Marnie as she gives birth to her third child later this year. &lt;/p&gt;
  7994.  
  7995.  
  7996.  
  7997. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s her first girl after having two sons and bosses wanted to capture all the magic and excitement as she and husband Casey welcome their little princess.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7998.  
  7999.  
  8000.  
  8001. &lt;p&gt;The Sun has approached reps for Geordie Shore for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  8002.  
  8003.  
  8004.  
  8005. &lt;p&gt;Bosses kicked off their brand new spin-off strand, Geordie Stories,  last year, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/charlotte-crosby/&quot;&gt;Charlotte Crosby&lt;/a&gt; being handed her own full-length spin-off show entitled, Charlotte&amp;#8217;s New Baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  8006.  
  8007.  
  8008.  
  8009. &lt;p&gt;It followed her as she welcomed her second child, Pixi, with her partner Jake Ankers as well as continuing to grow her business and face the daily pressures of life in the public eye. &lt;/p&gt;

  8042.

  8108. &lt;p&gt;PORN and Netflix star Kylie Page&amp;#8217;s cause of death has been revealed after she passed away at the age of 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  8109.  
  8110.  
  8111.  
  8112. &lt;p&gt;The adult entertainment industry is mourning the loss of the actress, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35600692/adult-star-kylie-page-dead-brazzers-tribute/&quot;&gt;real name Kylie Pylant&lt;/a&gt;, after she died at her Los Angeles County home, with tributes led by porn site Brazzers.&lt;/p&gt;

  8125.  
  8126.  
  8127.  
  8128. &lt;p&gt;Now, it has been revealed the actress died following a suspected overdose, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/02/adult-film-star-kylie-page-dead-suspected-overdose/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;TMZ&lt;/a&gt; reports, citing &lt;span id=&quot;39b95573-25f9-429e-8719-a1088421ad37&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;law&lt;/span&gt; enforcement sources.&lt;/p&gt;
  8129.  
  8130.  
  8131.  
  8132. &lt;p&gt;Cops reportedly found fentanyl and other drug paraphernalia in her home when they called round.&lt;/p&gt;
  8133.  
  8134.  
  8135.  
  8136. &lt;p&gt;A concerned friend first raised the alarm and prompted emergency teams to visit Kylie&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35265978/christian-bale-unrecognisable-madden-film-nicolas-cage/&quot;&gt;Hollywood&lt;/a&gt; home.&lt;/p&gt;
  8137.  
  8138.  
  8139.  
  8140. &lt;p&gt;But the fire department tragically found Kylie lifeless when they arrived at the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
  8141.  
  8142.  
  8143.  
  8144. &lt;p&gt;An overdose is the running theory, but the official cause of death has yet to be confirmed &amp;#8211; though foul play is not suspected.&lt;/p&gt;
  8145.  
  8146.  
  8147.  
  8148. &lt;p&gt;She passed away on June 25 &amp;#8211; just one day after her final social media post.&lt;/p&gt;
  8149.  
  8150.  
  8151.  
  8152. &lt;p&gt;Since joining the adult industry in 2016, Kylie starred in more than 200 adult movies from major production houses including Brazzers, Naughty America and various Vixen Media Group brands.&lt;/p&gt;
  8153.  
  8154.  
  8155.  
  8156. &lt;p&gt;She also featured in the Netflix series “Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On&amp;#8221; in 2017, in which she openly discussed her struggle with substance abuse.&lt;/p&gt;
  8157.  
  8158.  
  8159.  
  8160. &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gofundme.com/f/remembering-kylie-help-her-loved-ones&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;GoFundMe&lt;/a&gt; has been set up by Kylie&amp;#8217;s &lt;span id=&quot;d9197ed3-093b-493b-ad53-af7dabf674b7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;family&lt;/span&gt; to bring her body back to from California to the Midwest and to cover funeral costs.&lt;/p&gt;
  8161.  
  8162.  
  8163.  
  8164. &lt;p&gt;The appeal reads: &amp;#8220;Kylie was a daughter who loved hard, a sister who never let go, and a friend who showed up without being asked. &lt;/p&gt;

  8188. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She was the kind of person who made you feel like family — no matter who you were.&lt;/p&gt;
  8189.  
  8190.  
  8191.  
  8192. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We lost her too soon, and now her family is trying to bring her home from California to the Midwest — to lay her to rest surrounded by friends and family.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8193.  
  8194.

  8200. &lt;p&gt;Leading adult content producer Brazzers said: &amp;#8220;The Brazzers team is deeply saddened to learn of Kylie Page’s passing. Kylie will be remembered for her laughter, kindness and bringing light wherever she went.&lt;/p&gt;

  8213.  
  8214.  
  8215.  
  8216. &lt;p&gt;Leah Gotti, a fellow adult star and a close friend of Page told AVN&amp;nbsp;she was &amp;#8220;terribly sad&amp;#8221; by the tragic &lt;span id=&quot;5ecb149a-4932-427e-9622-b58636ed0063&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8217.  
  8218.  
  8219.  
  8220. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;I just think, overall, she was a [happily] infectious person.&lt;/p&gt;
  8221.  
  8222.  
  8223.  
  8224. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She was really light and bright and she just loved to smile, laugh, and really valued living life to the fullest and being free as much as possible.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8225.  
  8226.  
  8227.  
  8228. &lt;p&gt;Alex Mack of Hussie &lt;span id=&quot;c13254c4-896a-4171-a823-935281d1e703&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Models&lt;/span&gt; said: &amp;#8220;Losing Kylie is truly heartbreaking.&lt;/p&gt;
  8229.  
  8230.  
  8231.  
  8232. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She was a kind soul, a wonderful friend, and always brought warmth and energy wherever she went.&lt;/p&gt;
  8233.  
  8234.  
  8235.  
  8236. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That’s exactly how I’ll always remember her, full of life and kindness.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8237.  
  8238.  
  8239.  
  8240. &lt;p&gt;After learning the sad news, one fan said online: &amp;#8220;Kylie’s spirit and energy will live on and brighten our world.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8359. &lt;p&gt;However, his claim of a fight against Usyk hinges on whether the reigning heavyweight king can secure victory in his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34734162/usyk-kicked-head-horse-dubois-fight/&quot;&gt;rematch with Daniel Dubois later this month.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8362.  
  8363. &lt;p&gt;They clash at Wembley on July 19, with Usyk looking to make it 24 wins from 24 fights.&lt;/p&gt;
  8364.  
  8365.  
  8366.  
  8367. &lt;p&gt;But speaking in Turkey, Fury insisted that Dubois does not stand a chance.&lt;/p&gt;
  8368.  
  8369.  
  8370.  
  8371. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t think Dubois wins anyway. Your man is a wily old fox and he moves his feet.&lt;/p&gt;
  8372.  
  8373.  
  8374.  
  8375. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We all know that, if you stand in front of Daniel Dubois, he will put a hole in you.&lt;/p&gt;

  8422. &lt;p&gt;It recently emerged that the &lt;span id=&quot;412ec6d0-8fd6-4920-8cd4-d627311ba70c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Old Trafford&lt;/span&gt; club had earmarked &lt;span id=&quot;0716ada9-d5f7-4374-99a5-e3a406cdc20b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;England&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span id=&quot;01a87a4a-b9b8-4d4b-be29-282ecdc77133&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;France&lt;/span&gt; internationals Watkins and Nkunku as potential targets.&lt;/p&gt;
  8423.  
  8424.  
  8425.  
  8426. &lt;p&gt;And according to reports, they have reached out to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196670/aston-villa/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Villa (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Villa&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; over the duo&amp;#8217;s availability.&lt;/p&gt;
  8427.  
  8428.  
  8429.  
  8430. &lt;p&gt;That&amp;#8217;s according to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6462637/2025/06/30/ollie-watkins-manchester-united-transfer/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;The Athletic (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Athletic&lt;/a&gt;, who claim United have made a &amp;#8220;check call&amp;#8221; to Villa about a potential transfer for Watkins.&lt;/p&gt;
  8431.  
  8432.  
  8433.  
  8434. &lt;p&gt;But there has been no &amp;#8220;movement&amp;#8221; on a potential move to Old Trafford for the former Exeter City man.&lt;/p&gt;
  8435.  
  8436.  
  8437.  
  8438. &lt;p&gt;The Athletic also claim a move to the &lt;span id=&quot;b7977801-980f-42cc-a3be-a50b6187e955&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Theatre&lt;/span&gt; of Dreams for Nkunku has come up in their discussions with Chelsea, who are seemingly willing to let the &lt;span id=&quot;462600f8-99fe-46a7-a06e-c4317d95af1b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;France&lt;/span&gt; international leave &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/stamford-bridge/&quot;&gt;Stamford Bridge&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8445.  
  8446. &lt;p&gt;Watkins has been Villa&amp;#8217;s star man for the last two seasons, the most recent of which he bagged 17 goals and racked up 14 assists.&lt;/p&gt;
  8447.  
  8448.

  8466. &lt;p&gt;The Gunners made a last-gasp bid to sign Watkins in the &lt;span id=&quot;8c42cdeb-fc18-409d-beab-217ccad4a7d0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/span&gt; transfer window but had their offer rejected by the Villans.&lt;/p&gt;
  8467.  
  8468.  
  8469.  
  8470. &lt;p&gt;The North Londoners are reportedly contemplating revisiting a move for Watkins if their pursuit of &lt;span id=&quot;85bcc1b5-6749-4277-9658-55e2ec79d59a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Sporting Lisbon&lt;/span&gt; hitman &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/viktor-gyokeres/&quot;&gt;Viktor Gyokeres&lt;/a&gt; fails to bear fruit.&lt;/p&gt;

  8494. &lt;p&gt;A move for Nkunku will likely be easier for United to facilitate given Chelsea&amp;#8217;s need to sell players to balance the &lt;span id=&quot;78c5082c-bf84-46d6-8b78-a177805c557d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;books&lt;/span&gt; this summer.&lt;/p&gt;

  8498. &lt;p&gt;The 27-year-old is seemingly surplus to requirements following the Blues&amp;#8217; £30million acquisition of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liam-delap/&quot;&gt;Liam Delap&lt;/a&gt; from Ipswich.&lt;/p&gt;

  8547. &lt;p&gt;FOR oily girls, there&amp;#8217;s nothing worse than hot, sweaty days. &lt;/p&gt;
  8548.  
  8549.  
  8550.  
  8551. &lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather/&quot;&gt;perspiration &lt;/a&gt;can end up blocking pores and often leads to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/acne/&quot;&gt;annoying breakouts. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8564.  
  8565.  
  8566.  
  8567. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35674953&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/2025/07/92a11c09-b281-43d3-b405-421fc9cdac38.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;Hand holding three bottles of Vital Baby Hygiene cleansing water.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35674953&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;492&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The spray&amp;#8217;s main ingredient is hypochlorous acid&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;tiktok/@thefacialisthants&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  8568.  
  8569.  
  8570.  
  8571. &lt;p&gt;But one beauty whizz has shared a £2.49 that can work wonders to stop spots &amp;#8211; but it&amp;#8217;s not from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/skincare/&quot;&gt;skincare &lt;/a&gt;aisle. &lt;/p&gt;
  8572.  
  8573.  
  8574.  
  8575. &lt;p&gt;Instead, you need to head to the baby section in high street store Savers, to pick up Vital Baby&amp;#8217;s Hygiene Aquaint cleansing water spray.&lt;/p&gt;
  8576.  
  8577.  
  8578.  
  8579. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you&amp;#8217;re in the UK and you are sweating out of every orifice this one&amp;#8217;s for you,&amp;#8221; Lauren, who has worked in the beauty industry since 2017, said&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@thefacialisthants/video/7522058292797918486?_r=1&amp;amp;_t=ZN-8xgTbrlAwII&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; in a video on her TikTok page.  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; in a video on her TikTok page. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8580.  
  8581.  
  8582.  
  8583. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m going to show you the ultimate product that you need for this summer when you&amp;#8217;re absolutely sweating. &lt;/p&gt;
  8584.  
  8585.  
  8586.  
  8587. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Don&amp;#8217;t say I don&amp;#8217;t bring you the best of the best for a fraction of the price.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8588.  
  8589.  
  8590.  
  8591. &lt;p&gt;The main ingredient of the Vital spray is hypochlorous acid. &lt;/p&gt;
  8592.  
  8593.  
  8594.  
  8595. &lt;p&gt;And explaining why the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot;&gt;liquid is so good&lt;/a&gt; for the skin on summer days, Lauren continued: &amp;#8220;The reason I love hypochlorous acid, and why it&amp;#8217;s so good if you&amp;#8217;re oily and prone to acne, is because it fights bacteria without drying the skin.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8596.  
  8597.  
  8598.  
  8599. &lt;p&gt;She added that a lot of the products she&amp;#8217;s tried to fight acne end up drying out the skin, which then means you need &amp;#8220;other products to combat that dryness&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  8600.  
  8601.  
  8602.  
  8603. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s also an amazing anti-inflammatory &amp;#8211; it helps with wound healing and you can use this on&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot;&gt; kids&amp;#8217; skin,&lt;/a&gt; hence why it&amp;#8217;s in the baby section,&amp;#8221; she said. &lt;/p&gt;
  8604.  
  8605.  
  8606.  
  8607. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I literally just love it as an all-purpose!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8608.

  8628.  
  8629.  
  8630.  
  8631. &lt;p&gt;Another benefit is that you can use it as many times as you want during the day, and you can even spray it over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/make-up/&quot;&gt;make-up. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8632.  
  8633.  
  8634.  
  8635. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It doesn&amp;#8217;t leave like a wet residue on your skin,&amp;#8221; she added. &lt;/p&gt;
  8636.  
  8637.  
  8638.  
  8639. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I absolutely love it and it&amp;#8217;s really cooling as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8640.  
  8641.  
  8642.  
  8643. &lt;p&gt;Lauren has long been a fan of Clinisoothe&amp;#8217;s hypochlorous mist, but at £19.50, it&amp;#8217;s an expensive purchase. &lt;/p&gt;
  8644.  
  8645.  
  8646.  
  8647. &lt;p&gt;So for just £2.49, she concluded that it&amp;#8217;s a case of &amp;#8220;Savers for the win&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  8648.  
  8649.  
  8650.  
  8651. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;I’m back with another high street find,&amp;#8221; she captioned her video. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8664. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Exosomes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8665. &lt;p&gt;Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing. &lt;/p&gt;
  8666. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Streamlined Skincare&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8667. &lt;p&gt;The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.&lt;/p&gt;
  8668. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Vegan Collagen&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8669. &lt;p&gt;Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. &lt;/p&gt;
  8670. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. The Rise Of AI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8671. &lt;p&gt;AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.&lt;/p&gt;
  8672. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Hair Loss Solutions &amp;#8211;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8673. &lt;p&gt;Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.&lt;/p&gt;
  8674. &lt;/div&gt;
  8675. &lt;/div&gt;
  8676. &lt;/div&gt;
  8678.  
  8679.  
  8680.  
  8681. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8220;This time&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;@Savers&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;doing the Lord&amp;#8217;s work with this hypochlorous acid&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8682.  
  8683.  
  8684.  
  8685. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Need to get this!&amp;#8221; one person wrote in the comments section of the TikTok. &lt;/p&gt;
  8686.  
  8687.  
  8688.  
  8689. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I sweat profusely from my face and head, it literally drips off,&amp;#8221; another said. &lt;/p&gt;
  8690.  
  8691.  
  8692.  
  8693. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve tried every known product on the market and prescription is this going to work?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8694.  
  8695.  
  8696.  
  8697. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I suffer with hyperhidrosis myself too,&amp;#8221; Lauren replied. &lt;/p&gt;
  8698.  
  8699.  
  8700.  
  8701. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This doesn’t stop the sweat but it stops me from breaking out due to the sweat sitting on the surface.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8702.  
  8703.  
  8704.  
  8705. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know where I’m going on lunch,&amp;#8221; a third laughed. &lt;/p&gt;
  8706.  
  8707.  
  8708.  
  8709. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So this would be good for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot;&gt;teenage spots&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8230;. Easy to apply, doesn&amp;#8217;t dry skin, sounds like a winner to me!&amp;#8221; someone else said.&lt;/p&gt;
  8710.  
  8711.  
  8712.  
  8713. &lt;p&gt;To which Lauren responded: &amp;#8220;Absolutely &amp;#8211; amazing for after sports too for teenagers&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8714.  
  8715.  
  8716.  
  8717. &lt;p&gt;She added that it&amp;#8217;s also the &amp;#8220;perfect size for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot;&gt;school &lt;/a&gt;bag&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  8718.  
  8719.  
  8720.  
  8721. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Off to Savers I go,&amp;#8221; another wrote. &lt;/p&gt;
  8722.  
  8723.  
  8724.  
  8725. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35674954&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/2025/07/dfced2f2-dd7a-438c-9bd5-ea0b6f7c6b63.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;Woman with eyes closed in a car.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35674954&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;742&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;You can use it as many times as you want throughout the day, and it can also be applied over make-up&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;tiktok/@thefacialisthants&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;</content:encoded>

  8778.  
  8779.  
  8780.  
  8781. &lt;p&gt;T&lt;span&gt;he cost is set by your council and goes towards funding local services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8782.  
  8783.  
  8784.  
  8785. &lt;p&gt;That means the amount you pay varies depending on where you live.&lt;/p&gt;
  8786.  
  8787.  
  8788.  
  8789. &lt;p&gt;You usually have to pay the charge if you own or rent your home. &lt;/p&gt;
  8790.  
  8791.  
  8792.  
  8793. &lt;p&gt;But if you claim certain &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt;, such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/universal-credit/&quot;&gt;Universal Credit&lt;/a&gt;, you could be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34188576/five-ways-to-cut-your-council-tax-bill/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;entitled to a discount on the amount you pay.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8794.  
  8795.  
  8796.  
  8797. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The support is given out by local&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;councils&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt;, so &lt;span&gt;how much is cut will depend on where you live, your income, dependants and other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31059602/sixteen-dwp-benefits-qualify-council-tax-bill-reduction/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8798.  
  8799.  
  8800.  
  8801. &lt;p&gt;You can find out if you&amp;#8217;re eligible by visiting gov.uk/apply-council-tax-reduction.&lt;/p&gt;
  8802.  
  8803.  
  8804.  
  8805. &lt;p&gt;To use the tool, you will need to enter your postcode and it will redirect you to your local council&amp;#8217;s website where you can find out more. &lt;/p&gt;
  8806.  
  8807.  
  8808.  
  8809. &lt;p&gt;Any deduction will also depend on what band you are in.&lt;/p&gt;
  8810.  
  8811.  
  8812.  
  8813. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/14519158/council-tax-band-how-much-pay/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;bands range&lt;span&gt; from A to H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, with A&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes/&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;paying the least and H the most.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8814.  
  8815.  
  8816.  
  8817. &lt;p&gt;For example, households in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/leeds/&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt; can apply for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/council-tax/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Council Tax&lt;/a&gt; Support if they claim Universal Credit or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35514732/dwp-carers-benefit-cuts/&quot;&gt;Carer&amp;#8217;s Allowance&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8841. &lt;p&gt;The council offers a maximum discount of 75% for low income earners. &lt;/p&gt;
  8842.  
  8843.  
  8844.  
  8845. &lt;p&gt;If you &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30927764/apply-pension-credit-rules-benefits-free-cash/&quot;&gt;claim Pension Credit&lt;/a&gt; you could be entitled to a 100% discount.&lt;/p&gt;
  8846.

  8849. &lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span&gt;you can claim council tax support when you apply for Universal Credit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8850.  
  8851.  
  8852.  
  8853. &lt;p&gt;If you are already receiving council tax support, as part of a legacy benefit you claim, but are due to be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/33813069/benefits-move-esa-universal-credit-dwp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;moved across to Universal Credit &lt;/a&gt;it is important to tell the council.&lt;/p&gt;
  8854.  
  8855.  
  8856.  
  8857. &lt;p&gt;The government is in the process of moving people on older benefits, like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30501720/martin-lewis-warning-benefits-stopped-managed-migration/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tax credits and income-based ESA&lt;/a&gt;, to the newer Universal Credit system.&lt;/p&gt;
  8858.  
  8859.  
  8860.  
  8861. &lt;p&gt;You may have received a migration notice in the form of a letter. &lt;/p&gt;
  8862.  
  8863.  
  8864.  
  8865. &lt;p&gt;As soon as you get this, write to your local council to ensure your support continues. &lt;/p&gt;
  8866.  
  8867.  
  8868.  
  8869. &lt;p&gt;Charities such as Shelter have information online about how to structure the letter. &lt;/p&gt;
  8870.

  8878.  
  8879.  
  8880.  
  8881. &lt;p&gt;If you’re not receiving benefits or don’t qualify for your local authority’s low-income council tax support scheme, you may still be eligible for help. &lt;/p&gt;
  8882.  
  8883.  
  8884.  
  8885. &lt;p&gt;Pensioners may be able to get a council tax discount if they receive certain benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  8886.  
  8887.  
  8888.  
  8889. &lt;p&gt;Those on the guarantee credit element of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pension-credit/&quot;&gt;pension credit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;could get up to 100% off their bill.&lt;/p&gt;
  8890.  
  8891.  
  8892.  
  8893. &lt;p&gt;If you do not get guaranteed credit but have a low income and less than £16,000 in savings then you may still get some help.&lt;/p&gt;
  8894.  
  8895.  
  8896.  
  8897. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, if you are a pensioner who lives alone then you will qualify for a 25% discount.&lt;/p&gt;
  8898.  
  8899.  
  8900.  
  8901. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, you could get a 25% &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31471606/council-tax-bill-reduction-state-pension/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;council tax reduction&lt;/a&gt; if you live on your own or if others at home are classed as &amp;#8220;disregarded&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8902.  
  8903.  
  8904.  
  8905. &lt;p&gt;For example, if a single adult lives with a severely mentally impaired person then they can get 25% off their council tax.&lt;/p&gt;
  8906.  
  8907.  
  8908.  
  8909. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, if you live in an all-student household then you do not need to pay any council tax.&lt;/p&gt;

  8920. BEFORE you cut your bill it is important to know how much you pay in council tax each year. &lt;/p&gt;
  8922. &lt;div&gt;
  8923. &lt;p&gt;You can find your council tax band on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gov.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;GOV.UK&lt;/a&gt; for homes in England and Wales.&lt;/p&gt;
  8924. &lt;p&gt;If you live in Scotland then you can check on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.saa.gov.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Scottish Assessors&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;/p&gt;
  8925. &lt;p&gt;You will need to enter your postcode and scroll through the listed addresses to find yours.&lt;/p&gt;
  8926. &lt;p&gt;Local councils must contact you directly every time your bill is set to go up or down.&lt;/p&gt;
  8927. &lt;p&gt;They should do this via letter or email.&lt;/p&gt;
  8928. &lt;p&gt;You can find out which local council is yours on the GOV.UK website.&lt;/p&gt;

  8970. &lt;p&gt;ANTHONY JOSHUA has vowed to return to boxing with a bang &amp;#8211; as a talk of a fight with Deontay Wilder grows louder.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8971.  
  8972.  
  8973.  
  8974. &lt;p&gt;AJ has been sidelined since his September knockout loss to Daniel Dubois and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35273338/anthony-joshua-elbow-surgery-boxing-return/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;this year underwent elbow surgery.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

  8979.  
  8980.  
  8981.  
  8982. &lt;p&gt;But promoter Eddie Hearn revealed the two-time heavyweight champion is on track to fight before the year ends with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/deontay-wilder/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wilder &lt;/a&gt;a top target. &lt;/p&gt;
  8983.  
  8984.  
  8985.  
  8986. &lt;p&gt;He initially held talks with the American&amp;#8217;s manager Shelly Finkel over a bout with Dave Allen &amp;#8211; but now AJ is ready to take on Wilder himself.&lt;/p&gt;
  8987.  
  8988.  
  8989.  
  8990. &lt;p&gt;Hearn told SunSport at the launch of Matchroom&amp;#8217;s rebrand: &amp;#8220;I think it&amp;#8217;s a great fight. &lt;/p&gt;
  8991.  
  8992.  
  8993.  
  8994. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I mean there&amp;#8217;s jeopardy in it, it&amp;#8217;s dangerous. Originally I was speaking to Shelly about Dave Allen.&lt;/p&gt;
  8995.  
  8996.  
  8997.  
  8998. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I kind of get the feeling that Wilder wants to get a few fights under the belt, get a bit of confidence back.&lt;/p&gt;
  8999.  
  9000.  
  9001.  
  9002. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think it&amp;#8217;s great to see him returning, it&amp;#8217;s really important that Deontay is still in the heavyweight division.&lt;/p&gt;
  9003.  
  9004.  
  9005.  
  9006. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;AJ I will be here tonight. We&amp;#8217;ve just started pinging a few opponents backwards and forwards, nothing really to talk about, but you will see AJ in the ring, November or December.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9007.  
  9008.  
  9009.  
  9010. &lt;p&gt;Joshua, 35, and Wilder, 39, were once close to agreeing a huge undisputed title decider before rival broadcasters and promoters got in the way.&lt;/p&gt;
  9011.

  9017.  
  9018. &lt;p&gt;Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh then tried to revive the bout last year &amp;#8211; until disaster struck. &lt;/p&gt;
  9019.

  9022. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/deontay-wilder/&quot;&gt;Wilder&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;was beaten by Joseph Parker on points and knocked out by Zhilei Zhang &amp;#8211; once again KOing the clash. &lt;/p&gt;

  9050. &lt;p&gt;Wilder could even box in one more tune-up before jumping back into the big time &amp;#8211; while AJ is also ready to return after giving his body a rest. &lt;/p&gt;
  9051.  
  9052.

  9054. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;I took a year out, first time in about 12 to 13 years as a professional, not even including the amateur stuff.&lt;/p&gt;
  9055.  
  9056.  
  9057.  
  9058. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But I took a year out, get my body right. I&amp;#8217;m at a different stage in my career where I can look at time a bit differently.&lt;/p&gt;
  9059.  
  9060.  
  9061.  
  9062. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m all these years in front of me like the main man here, so I gotta make like really executive decisions about what I do next.&lt;/p&gt;
  9063.  
  9064.  
  9065.  
  9066. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So the minute I come back, you know I&amp;#8217;ll come back with a bang rather than just keep rolling through and just going with the motions of the sport.&lt;/p&gt;
  9067.  
  9068.  
  9069.  
  9070. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I just thought, let me take some time out so when I do come back I come back fully active and ready to go and take the division by storm again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9114.  
  9115.

  9117. &lt;p&gt;The 46-year-old star is furious after she was left off the guestlist for Princess&amp;#8217;s party, claiming it&amp;#8217;s because it was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35004663/katie-price-snubbed-daughter-princess-andre-new-tv-show/&quot;&gt;being filmed for her &lt;span id=&quot;4f672ac3-5185-4446-87df-b0246509a5ab&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  9130.  
  9131.  
  9132.  
  9133. &lt;p&gt;In the&lt;a href=&quot;https://auddy.com/shows/entertainment/the-katie-price-show&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; latest edition of her podcast&lt;/a&gt;, Katie said: &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35619583/peter-andre-warning-princess-birthday-katie-price/&quot;&gt;Princess is now officially an adult,&lt;/a&gt; so Mummy and Princess can now go out together, if certain people would let her be seen with me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9134.  
  9135.  
  9136.  
  9137. &lt;p&gt;She went on: &amp;#8220;Everyone knows she&amp;#8217;s doing this documentary &amp;#8211; and I&amp;#8217;m not in it. Certain people don&amp;#8217;t think it&amp;#8217;s good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9138.  
  9139.  
  9140.  
  9141. &lt;p&gt;Her sister Sophie chipped in: &amp;#8220;You aren&amp;#8217;t on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that&amp;#8217;s why.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9142.  
  9143.  
  9144.  
  9145. &lt;p&gt;Katie then said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s pathetic. I&amp;#8217;m her mother.&lt;/p&gt;
  9146.  
  9147.  
  9148.  
  9149. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://popup.taboola.com/en/?template=colorbox&amp;amp;utm_source=tmg-mirror&amp;amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;amp;utm_content=thumbnails-mm:Dragonfly%20Mid%20Article%20Thumbnails:&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m just saying, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35657099/princess-andre-lip-filler-surgery-katie-price/&quot;&gt;Princess &lt;/a&gt;was like &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;m having a party&amp;#8217;. And I wasn&amp;#8217;t invited because it was for &amp;#8216;filming.'&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9150.  
  9151.  
  9152.  
  9153. &lt;p&gt;Sophie added: &amp;#8220;Oh of course it was! I wonder what restaurant did that for free.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9154.  
  9155.  
  9156.  
  9157. &lt;p&gt;Continuing the rant, Katie said: &amp;#8220;The fact is there&amp;#8217;s stuff my daughter is doing and I&amp;#8217;m not allowed to be seen at any of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  9158.  
  9159.  
  9160.  
  9161. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Certain people who are filming Princess&amp;#8217; documentary used to do my filming. It&amp;#8217;s fine, it&amp;#8217;s just there&amp;#8217;s always conflict of interest. People will cotton on to this. So we do have to do something for Princess&amp;#8217; 18th.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9162.  
  9163.  
  9164.  
  9165. &lt;p&gt;Katie and Peter share two children together &amp;#8211; Princess and Junior.&lt;/p&gt;
  9166.  
  9167.  
  9168.  
  9169. &lt;p&gt;Both parents wished Princess a happy birthday on social media, but Peter&amp;#8217;s came with a warning about the celebrity world.&lt;/p&gt;

  9221. &lt;p&gt;Though the pair haven&amp;#8217;t seen eye to eye for years, Katie complimented him last month and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35346748/katie-price-comment-peter-andres-wife-emily/#:~:text=%22Me%20and%20Pete%20just%20did,his%20uncertainty%20in%20their%20marriage.&quot;&gt;admitted she is glad&amp;nbsp;he married Emily.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  9253. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  9254. We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price&amp;#039;s relationship history. &lt;/p&gt;
  9256. &lt;div&gt;
  9257. &lt;p&gt;1996-1998: Katie got engaged to Gladiators star Warren Furman &amp;#8211; aka Ace &amp;#8211; with a £3,000 ring. But their relationship didn&amp;#8217;t make it as far as &amp;#8216;I do&amp;#8217;. &lt;/p&gt;
  9258. &lt;p&gt;1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as &amp;#8216;the love of her life&amp;#8217; but she broke up with the singer when he allegedly cheated on her. &lt;/p&gt;
  9259. &lt;p&gt;2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie&amp;#8217;s eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with Harvey throughout his life. &lt;/p&gt;
  9260. &lt;p&gt;2002: Rebounding from Dwight, Katie famously had one night of passion with Pop Idol star Gareth Gates, allegedly taking his virginity. &lt;/p&gt;
  9261. &lt;p&gt;2002-2004: Katie was dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle for I&amp;#8217;m A Celebrity&amp;#8230;Get Me Out Of Here!. He threatened to &amp;#8220;punch Peter&amp;#8217;s lights out&amp;#8221; when chemistry blossomed between her and Peter Andre. &lt;/p&gt;
  9262. &lt;p&gt;2004-2009: The jungle romance resulted in Katie marrying Aussie pop star Peter. They had two kids, Junior and Princess, before their bitter split in 2009. &lt;/p&gt;
  9263. &lt;p&gt;2010-2011: Fresh from her break-up with Peter, Katie enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and marriage with cage fighter Alex Reid. They split 20 months after their Las Vegas wedding. &lt;/p&gt;
  9264. &lt;p&gt;2011: Katie briefly dated model Danny Cipriani&amp;#8230; but it ended as quickly as it begun. &lt;/p&gt;
  9265. &lt;p&gt;2011-2012: They didn&amp;#8217;t speak the same language, but Katie got engaged to Argentinian model Leandro Penna in 2011. He later fled home to South America.&lt;/p&gt;
  9266. &lt;p&gt;2012-2018: Wedding bells rang once more after Katie met Kieran Hayler in 2013. They had two kids together, Jett and Bunny, before their break-up and divorce.&lt;/p&gt;
  9267. &lt;p&gt;2018-2019: Katie moved on quickly with Kris Boyson. They had an on-off romance for one year and even got engaged. They split for good in 2019. &lt;/p&gt;

  9298. &lt;p&gt;CORONATION Street star Jennie McAlpine has confirmed the closure of her restaurant after 13 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  9299.  
  9300.  
  9301.  
  9302. &lt;p&gt;In an emotional post on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;, the actress &amp;#8211; who has portrayed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4851755/jennie-mcalpine-fiz-brown-actress-coronation-street-pregnant-husband/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fiz Brown&lt;/a&gt; on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/soaps/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;soap&lt;/a&gt; since 2001 &amp;#8211; announced the shutters had come down for the final time on her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt; restaurant Annies.&lt;/p&gt;
  9303.  
  9304.  
  9305.  
  9306. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35674534&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/danielle-baguley-photograph-c-itv-768734534.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A woman in a dark blue coat and green dress walks past a brick building, another person is visible behind her.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35674534&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;686&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;ITV&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Jennie is best known for portraying Fiz Brown on Coronation Street since 2001[/caption]
  9307.  
  9308.  
  9309.  
  9310. &lt;p&gt;The popular gastropub and bar, located in the heart of the city, was co-owned by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/15249852/coronation-street-fiz-stape-actress-jennie-mcalpine-husband-annies/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jennie and her partner Chris Farr&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9311.  
  9312.  
  9313.  
  9314. &lt;p&gt;It was also held in incredibly high regard, ranking within the top five &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/restaurants/&quot;&gt;restaurants&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;span id=&quot;cca227c5-afd4-4054-b5ed-e7e17bda0679&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/span&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tripadvisor/&quot;&gt;Tripadvisor&lt;/a&gt; just before its closure.&lt;/p&gt;
  9315.  
  9316.  
  9317.  
  9318. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, the restaurant&amp;#8217;s loyal fans, who have been piling in since 2012, have now been left heartbroken by its sudden shutting.&lt;/p&gt;
  9319.  
  9320.  
  9321.  
  9322. &lt;p&gt;Jennie and Chris&amp;#8217; post read: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s with a heavy heart that we&amp;#8217;ve had to close the doors to Annies this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  9323.  
  9324.  
  9325.  
  9326. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We want to thank the amazing people, staff and customers who&amp;#8217;ve been part of our Annies journey.&lt;/p&gt;
  9327.  
  9328.  
  9329.  
  9330. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our whole team will miss all of our wonderful customers, who we have come to call friends.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9331.  
  9332.  
  9333.  
  9334. &lt;p&gt;The star also thanked loyal patrons for their support over the past 13 years, sending them their &amp;#8220;love and thanks&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9335.  
  9336.  
  9337.  
  9338. &lt;p&gt;Annies served a range of dishes to satisfy pallets across Manchester, including steaks, burgers, pies, salads, and fish.&lt;/p&gt;
  9339.  
  9340.  
  9341.  
  9342. &lt;p&gt;A traditional hotpot featuring lamb and crispy potatoes also featured on the extensive menu.&lt;/p&gt;
  9343.  
  9344.  
  9345.  
  9346. &lt;p&gt;Not only had Annies found itself high on Tripadvisor&amp;#8217;s Manchester recommendations but it was also named among &amp;#8220;the best of the best&amp;#8221; in the country in September.&lt;/p&gt;

  9370. &lt;p&gt;When the &lt;span id=&quot;f1e15c89-b7b6-49d1-87e5-7dd0497042e5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;review&lt;/span&gt; site unveiled its Traveller&amp;#8217;s Choice Awards Best of the Best Restaurants &amp;#8211; which recognised diners&amp;#8217; favourite spots for 2024, Annie&amp;#8217;s was named in the top ten.&lt;/p&gt;
  9371.  
  9372.  
  9373.  
  9374. &lt;p&gt;It had also previously been named winner of the People’s Choice award for best tea room at the Manchester Tourism Awards for its range of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/29925628/four-savvy-ways-cut-cost-afternoon-tea/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;afternoon teas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9375.  
  9376.  
  9377.  
  9378. &lt;p&gt;Neither Jennie nor Chris have confirmed the reason behind the restaurant&amp;#8217;s closure, but fans have been quick to share their love for the famed restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;
  9379.  
  9380.  
  9381.  
  9382. &lt;p&gt;One heartbroken diner wrote: &amp;#8220;This is very sad &lt;span id=&quot;40a36d74-a082-469b-9ab9-b1ed23cb3031&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9386. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One our favourite places we&amp;#8217;ve been too when us girls meet up &amp;#8211; we&amp;#8217;ve had afternoon tea, Sunday lunch, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/theatre/&quot;&gt;theatre&lt;/a&gt; and breakfast.&lt;/p&gt;
  9387.  
  9388.

  9390. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You fit in nicely what ever time of our occasion.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9397. &lt;/div&gt;
  9398. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  9401. &lt;div&gt;
  9402. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AN Italian restaurant chain has closed down all of its sites after nearly six years on the high street.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9403. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35624353/italian-restaurant-chain-closes-all-of-its-sites/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Officina 00&lt;/a&gt; was a popular&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30721332/five-easy-pasta-recipes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;pasta&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;joint with three locations across Covent Garden, Fitzrovia and Old Street.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9404. &lt;p&gt;It charged around £15 for posh pasta dishes such as curly pappardelle and killer bucatini.&lt;/p&gt;
  9405. &lt;p&gt;Owner Elia Sebregondi took to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;last week to share&amp;nbsp;news&amp;nbsp;that the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was no more.&lt;/p&gt;
  9406. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that Officina 00 restaurants have now&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/store-closings/&quot;&gt;permanently closed&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9407. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have done everything in my power to overcome the many challenges faced in the last few months, but despite all efforts I have been forced to close down.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9408. &lt;p&gt;The news left diners heartbroken with many describing it as a &amp;#8220;big loss&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9409. &lt;p&gt;Another upset local said: &amp;#8220;I can’t believe this. I was just speaking to someone about how great your pasta was earlier this week.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9410. &lt;p&gt;A third said: &amp;#8220;This is devastating news. We loved visiting your restaurants.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9411. &lt;p&gt;And a fourth person said: &amp;#8220;The best pasta in London.. how sad for all.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9412. &lt;/div&gt;
  9413. &lt;/div&gt;
  9414. &lt;/div&gt;
  9416.  
  9417.  
  9418.  
  9419. &lt;p&gt;Another wished Jennie and Chris well in their &lt;span id=&quot;f6d26164-c39f-4ce9-9145-00ae27ba9453&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; endeavours, adding they were &amp;#8220;absolutely gutted&amp;#8221; by the news of the closure.&lt;/p&gt;
  9420.  
  9421.  
  9422.  
  9423. &lt;p&gt;They wrote: &amp;#8220;It was the only place I felt comfortable in.&lt;/p&gt;
  9424.  
  9425.  
  9426.  
  9427. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The food was delicious, the decor amazing, and the whole place just had a wonderful feeling about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  9428.  
  9429.  
  9430.  
  9431. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I will miss Annie’s terribly. It was also such a little busy place.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9432.  
  9433.  
  9434.  
  9435. &lt;p&gt;This comes just days after a beloved pan-Asian restaurant chain &amp;#8211; known for its trendy dining and cocktails &amp;#8211; announced it would be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35637374/trendy-restaurant-chain-closes-down-all-sites/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;closing all of its locations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9436.  
  9437.  
  9438.  
  9439. &lt;p&gt;PEACH, a restaurant group based in East Hertfordshire, confirmed the immediate closure of both its sites after five years of serving customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  9440.  
  9441.  
  9442.  
  9443. &lt;p&gt;Founders Dan Knowles and Leigh Keates launched the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; in 2020, with branches in Bishop’s Stortford and Hertford.&lt;/p&gt;
  9444.  
  9445.  
  9446.  
  9447. &lt;p&gt;The pair gave no reason for the closure but said in a statement: &amp;#8220;With great sadness, we want to let you know that both restaurants have now closed.&lt;/p&gt;
  9448.  
  9449.  
  9450.  
  9451. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This was not an easy decision and certainly not one we took lightly.&lt;/p&gt;
  9452.  
  9453.  
  9454.  
  9455. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are incredibly grateful for the support, kindness and loyalty you&amp;#8217;ve shown us over the years &amp;#8211; it has meant everything.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9483. &lt;p&gt;POLICE have released CCTV footage of a man they&amp;#8217;d like to speak to in connection with a &amp;#8220;very distressing&amp;#8221; act of voyeurism. &lt;/p&gt;

  9487. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35670165/woman-assaulted-raped-ice-rink/&quot;&gt;alleged incident&lt;/a&gt; occurred in the woman&amp;#8217;s toilets at a Tesco Extra in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, on June 19. &lt;/p&gt;

  9492.  
  9493.  
  9494.  
  9495. &lt;p&gt;A female &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35617437/man-perv-neighbour-next-door-privacy-fence/&quot;&gt;customer &lt;/a&gt;was left seriously distressed when she was in a stall in the toilet and saw a phone slide under the door. &lt;/p&gt;
  9496.  
  9497.  
  9498.  
  9499. &lt;p&gt;A man, believed to have been holding the phone, is also alleged to have peered through a crack in the door before the terrified woman fled the bathroom. &lt;/p&gt;
  9500.  
  9501.  
  9502.  
  9503. &lt;p&gt;The &amp;#8220;very distressing&amp;#8221; incident was reported to cops who &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35664395/horror-discovery-rusting-barnacle-car-cold-case-breakthrough/&quot;&gt;launched an investigation&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  9508.  
  9509.  
  9510.  
  9511. &lt;p&gt;PC Chloe Row, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: &amp;#8220;The victim was understandably very distressed about what happened, so we’re determined to find the person responsible.&lt;/p&gt;
  9512.  
  9513.  
  9514.  
  9515. &lt;p id=&quot;amp-readmore-target&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;On that note, we’ve identified the man in this picture as someone we strongly believe could have information that could assist our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35673495/cops-hunt-man-rape-woman-cctv/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  9516.  
  9517.  
  9518.  
  9519. &lt;p id=&quot;amp-readmore-target&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;We’d therefore urge him to get in touch with the police if he sees this appeal, while we’d ask anyone that recognises him to do likewise.&lt;/p&gt;

  9576. &lt;p&gt;JOJO Siwa’s exes Kath Ebbs and Avery Cyrus surprised fans with their new unlikely friendship, after they teamed up for a cheeky social media post. &lt;/p&gt;

  9597.  
  9598.  
  9599.  
  9600. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s fair to say that since then, the Australian influencer, 27 &amp;#8211; who uses they/them pronouns &amp;#8211; has taken the odd swipe at their ex, and today seemed no different.&lt;/p&gt;
  9601.  
  9602.  
  9603.  
  9604. &lt;p&gt;The only difference this time being that they got another one of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34718734/jojo-siwa-relationship-six-month-partner-split-chris-hughes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;JoJo&amp;#8217;s exes on board, Avery, 25&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9605.  
  9606.  
  9607.  
  9608. &lt;p&gt;Sharing a video on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt;, the pair were seen dancing and lip syncing to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/hilary-duff/&quot;&gt;Hilary Duff&lt;/a&gt; song, What Dreams Are Made Of.&lt;/p&gt;
  9609.  
  9610.  
  9611.  
  9612. &lt;p&gt;The pair looked like they were having fun as they danced along to the song which featured in the teen movie, The Lizzie McGuire Movie.&lt;/p&gt;
  9613.  
  9614.  
  9615.  
  9616. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not known how they became friends, but they have their JoJo break-ups in common.&lt;/p&gt;
  9617.  
  9618.  
  9619.  
  9620. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Just hours after finishing in third place on &lt;span id=&quot;fd4951a4-7627-44ad-af90-f0a92ca9a793&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Celebrity&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;16768656-1c26-45c9-b990-998b261ed03e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Big Brother&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34659147/jojo-siwa-partner-kath-ebbs-dumps-cbb-star/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;JoJo dumped her partner Kath Ebbs at the after-party&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8211; despite having flown in from&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/australia/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to support the singer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9621.  
  9622.  
  9623.  
  9624. &lt;p&gt;At the time Kath took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; to reveal the &lt;span id=&quot;53233904-164b-45f2-a403-b715a5391315&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; to their fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  9625.  
  9626.  
  9627.  
  9628. &lt;p&gt;They said: &amp;#8220;Before I could even get back to the hotel I went to the afterparty with, I guess my now ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped in the party.&lt;/p&gt;
  9629.  
  9630.  
  9631.  
  9632. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was told that there are confused feelings there, do with that what you will, and they had realised in the house that I wasn&amp;#8217;t the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9633.  
  9634.  
  9635.  
  9636. &lt;p&gt;While, Avery was left equally bruised following her own split from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jojo-siwa/&quot;&gt;JoJo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9637.  
  9638.  
  9639.  
  9640. &lt;p&gt;After striking up a friendship, the pair realised they had feelings for each other and became a couple.&lt;/p&gt;
  9641.  
  9642.  
  9643.  
  9644. &lt;p&gt;They went public with their romance in September 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  9645.  
  9646.  
  9647.  
  9648. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;b4621cef-a8e8-42f2-b29c-61a402eb43d3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; month, Avery officially asked JoJo to be her girlfriend while on holiday in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/orlando/&quot;&gt;Orlando&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9649.  
  9650.  
  9651.  
  9652. &lt;p&gt;However, by December that year, Avery confirmed they had split, and shared in a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;video that said they were “better as friends.”&lt;/p&gt;

  9843. 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;
  9845. &lt;div&gt;
  9846. &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;
  9847. &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;
  9848. &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;
  9849. &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;
  9850. &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;
  9851. &lt;/div&gt;
  9852. &lt;/div&gt;
  9853. &lt;/div&gt;
  9855.  
  9856.  
  9857.  
  9858. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;CASHING IN&lt;/h2&gt;
  9859.  
  9860.  
  9861.  
  9862. &lt;p&gt;Back in April, The Sun exclusively revealed the X Factor alum was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34200854/stacey-solomon-rakes-in-astounding-seven-figure-sum/&quot;&gt;raking in £57K a month.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9863.  
  9864.  
  9865.  
  9866. &lt;p&gt;Her performing arts firm, Key Maps Entertainments, which funnels all of her earnings, has filed new accounts which lay bare just how rich&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesun.co.uk/who./stacey-solomon/&quot;&gt;Stacey&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;really is.&lt;/p&gt;
  9867.  
  9868.  
  9869.  
  9870. &lt;p&gt;The figures mean that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/32374669/stacey-solomon-scared-income-risk-new-business/&quot;&gt;Stacey is taking home&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;a tidy £8,270 a DAY.&lt;/p&gt;
  9871.  
  9872.  
  9873.  
  9874. &lt;p&gt;Stacey first set up the firm in 2012 in order to disclose all her financial earnings.&lt;/p&gt;
  9875.  
  9876.  
  9877.  
  9878. &lt;p&gt;In 2014, it was reported that she had banked a more modest £100,000 over the previous two years.&lt;/p&gt;
  9879.  
  9880.  
  9881.  
  9882. &lt;p&gt;The ITV and BBC darling managed to achieve the major figure largely thanks to her TV endeavours including her NTA-winning show &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sort-your-life-out/&quot;&gt;Sort Your Life Out&lt;/a&gt; as well as her brand new reality show with her husband &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joe-swash/&quot;&gt;Joe Swash&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9883.  
  9884.  
  9885.  
  9886. &lt;p&gt;But being on the small screen isn&amp;#8217;t the only way she&amp;#8217;s has topped up her bank balance.&lt;/p&gt;
  9887.  
  9888.  
  9889.  
  9890. &lt;p&gt;Stacey has helped to improve her massive fortune thanks to countless &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/33233561/stacey-solomon-spring-home-collection-asda/&quot;&gt;brand and endorsement deals&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9943. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35357761/raymond-van-barneveld-pdc-champions-of-champions/&quot;&gt;Dutch superstar was a shock addition to the line-up&lt;/a&gt; before crashing out in the semis to Montgomery.&lt;/p&gt;
  9944.  
  9945.  
  9946.  
  9947. &lt;p&gt;That’s because the tournament is part of the World Seniors Darts Tour (WSDT), with Van Barneveld holding an active &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pdc-world-darts-championship/&quot;&gt;PDC&lt;/a&gt; Tour card.&lt;/p&gt;
  9948.  
  9949.  
  9950.  
  9951. &lt;p&gt;PDC stars are normally only allowed to feature in competitions sanctioned by their own group.&lt;/p&gt;
  9952.  
  9953.  
  9954.  
  9955. &lt;p&gt;And any non-PDC tournaments that players do feature in are non-televised.&lt;/p&gt;
  9956.  
  9957.  
  9958.  
  9959. &lt;p&gt;But the Champion of Champions competition was shown live on PlutoTV, leading to confusion over Van Barneveld’s participation.&lt;/p&gt;
  9960.  
  9961.  
  9962.  
  9963. &lt;p&gt;And now, WSDT promoter Jason Francis claims the PDC could be threatened with legal action over its “monopoly” on broadcasting live darts.&lt;/p&gt;
  9964.  
  9965.  
  9966.

  9968.  
  9969.  
  9970.  
  9971. &lt;p&gt;He believes his group should be able to show off the game’s top stars if they want to play in WSDT tournaments.&lt;/p&gt;
  9972.  
  9973.  
  9974.  
  9975. &lt;p&gt;And with a legal challenge currently in the works over how snooker is televised, a similar one could be coming for the world of darts.&lt;/p&gt;

And if Raymond van Barneveld wants to be a professional player, he has to sign a PDC contract.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10000.  
  10001.  
  10002.  
  10003. &lt;p&gt;“There&amp;#8217;s no negotiation, there&amp;#8217;s no option, and because of their dominant position, what other choice do players have?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10004.  
  10005.  
  10006.  
  10007. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you have more than one person competing for the services of a professional sportsman, who wins? Ultimately, the player wins and the darts fan wins.&lt;/p&gt;
  10008.  
  10009.  
  10010.  
  10011. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why is that? Because as promoters, we have to put enough prize money up to attract Raynond van Barneveld, Luke Littler or Luke Humphries to our event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10012.  
  10013.  
  10014.  
  10015. &lt;p&gt;“If someone else is doing that, we then have to fight over price. Then, the ticket prices come down.&lt;/p&gt;
  10016.  
  10017.  
  10018.  
  10019. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s no different to when supermarkets compete over a loaf of bread. Competition is good because the customer gets the best deal. But there is no competition in darts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10020.  
  10021.  
  10022.  
  10023. &lt;p&gt;“The PDC have a complete monopoly on darts, and it is something that, in snooker, we are legally challenging. If that is successful, I would expect that to follow on in darts as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  10093.  
  10094.  
  10095.  
  10096. &lt;p&gt;But transfer guru David Ornstein revealed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt; will only make a move for one of them if they first offload a left winger.&lt;/p&gt;
  10097.  
  10098.  
  10099.  
  10100. &lt;p&gt;Ornstein told &lt;a href=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/episode/0GM8iiIX8ZW56YTG6p0RhA?si=vN4nna_vQoS9UUVMElTxAQ&amp;amp;context=spotify%3Ashow%3A69AAB4ojTuK7gwy3ZdQdB9&amp;amp;nd=1&amp;amp;dlsi=29ea9386feb748a4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;The Athletic FC Podcast&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;ve always wanted to strengthen on the left wing, but they&amp;#8217;ve got Gabriel Martinelli, a very fine player, there already.&lt;/p&gt;
  10101.  
  10102.  
  10103.  
  10104. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If he were to leave, then you can see them bringing in a top left-sided winger. If he&amp;#8217;s not to leave, then I don&amp;#8217;t think so.&lt;/p&gt;

  10106.  
  10107.  
  10108. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve talked and reported on Rodrygo and Anthony Gordon &amp;#8211; I think that&amp;#8217;s if Martinelli leaves.&lt;/p&gt;

  10111.

  10200. &lt;p&gt;Jodie, aka &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@jod1383/video/7520986554924338434&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;weather girl on TikTok (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;weather girl on TikTok&lt;/a&gt;, is a mum-of-three who swapped her depressing old life for dazzling coastlines, cheaper living, and a whole new outlook in sunny &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/turkey/&quot;&gt;Turkey&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10201.  
  10202.  
  10203.  
  10204. &lt;p&gt;“I was sad. Depressed. You never saw me smile,” she admitted in one of her now-viral videos. &lt;/p&gt;
  10205.  
  10206.  
  10207.  
  10208. &lt;p&gt;But claims she&amp;#8217;s now significantly happier and &amp;#8220;full of life&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10209.  
  10210.  
  10211.  
  10212. &lt;p&gt;Jodie had had enough of struggling to stay afloat in the UK. &lt;/p&gt;
  10213.  
  10214.  
  10215.  
  10216. &lt;p&gt;She and her husband were working round the clock just to scrape by – no &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/holidays/&quot;&gt;holidays&lt;/a&gt;, no savings, and zero chance of buying a home thanks to what she calls “stupid little things” constantly going wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  10217.  
  10218.  
  10219.  
  10220. &lt;p&gt;And as if the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; stress wasn’t enough, the rising &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; in her area tipped her over the edge.&lt;/p&gt;
  10221.  
  10222.  
  10223.  
  10224. &lt;p&gt;She claimed she wanted a better life for her and the kids and so packed up her life, three kids and the dog and moved abroad.&lt;/p&gt;
  10225.  
  10226.  
  10227.  
  10228. &lt;p&gt;With her husband’s family already settled in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/turkey/&quot;&gt;Turkey&lt;/a&gt;, the couple decided to give it a go. &lt;/p&gt;
  10229.  
  10230.  
  10231.  
  10232. &lt;p&gt;He flew out first to find a rental for a year, just to see if it would work.&lt;/p&gt;
  10233.  
  10234.  
  10235.  
  10236. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, back in Britain, Jodie was packing everything – furniture, clothes, kids’ toys, even the kettle – into a shipping container bound for their new life abroad.&lt;/p&gt;

  10259.  
  10260. &lt;p&gt;She claimed it took months to organise and said whilst it was difficult, it was definitely worth the hassle.&lt;/p&gt;
  10261.  
  10262.  
  10263.  
  10264. &lt;p&gt;While their belongings were at sea, her husband drove their car and their massive German Shepherd all the way across &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europe/&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt; – a three-day trek – while Jodie, the kids and her mum hopped on a flight.&lt;/p&gt;
  10265.  
  10266.  
  10267.  
  10268. &lt;p&gt;Their first year was spent in a peaceful Turkish village far from the tourist spots and Jodie absolutely fell in love.&lt;/p&gt;
  10269.  
  10270.  
  10271.  
  10272. &lt;p&gt;She said it was a beautiful, local area that wasn&amp;#8217;t too touristy.&lt;/p&gt;
  10273.  
  10274.  
  10275.  
  10276. &lt;p&gt;When their tenancy was up, they made the move to Alanya, a more buzzing coastal area, and Jodie’s never looked back.&lt;/p&gt;
  10277.  
  10278.  
  10279.  
  10280. &lt;p&gt;“I love it. I really love it here,” she beamed.&lt;/p&gt;
  10281.  
  10282.  
  10283.  
  10284. &lt;p&gt;She says she wouldn’t return to the UK unless she absolutely had to. &lt;/p&gt;
  10285.  
  10286.  
  10287.  
  10288. &lt;p&gt;She explained that her kids are thriving and their lives have all infinitely improved since the move.&lt;/p&gt;
  10289.  
  10290.  
  10291.  
  10292. &lt;p&gt;While Jodie’s Turkish hubby sorted most of the boring paperwork, she says she’s now “retired from admin”  and doesn’t miss the stress one bit.&lt;/p&gt;
  10293.  
  10294.  
  10295.  
  10296. &lt;p&gt;And for anyone else dreaming of ditching the UK for a new life in the sun? The Tiktoker is here to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  10297.  
  10298.  
  10299.  
  10300. &lt;p&gt;“Drop me a DM,” she says, promising to share details to help with paperwork and all the tricky bits.&lt;/p&gt;
  10301.  
  10302.  
  10303.  
  10304. &lt;p&gt;She&amp;#8217;s not the only Brit trading dreary, concrete skylines for golden sands.&lt;/p&gt;
  10305.  
  10306.  
  10307.  
  10308. &lt;p&gt;A young woman recently revealed how her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; improved after she &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35234374/moving-uk-to-dubai-health-weather-depression/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;moved from the UK to Dubai (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;moved from the UK to Dubai&lt;/a&gt;, saying life at home was “making her sick”.&lt;/p&gt;
  10309.  
  10310.  
  10311.  
  10312. &lt;p&gt;Ela Reeves was struggling with a series of health conditions prior to the move, including&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/2092510/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-me-symptoms-disease-treatment/&quot;&gt; chronic fatigue&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/26881412/beat-all-types-of-joint-pain/&quot;&gt;sore joints&lt;/a&gt; and acne.&lt;/p&gt;
  10313.  
  10314.  
  10315.  
  10316. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;With her body “crying out for change”, she decided to try life in sunnier climes and jetted off to&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/32985497/left-uk-moved-dubai-kids-villa-private-gym-pool/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dubai for a new life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in January&lt;/span&gt; and has never looked back.&lt;/p&gt;

  10327. Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here&amp;#039;s what you need to do at home before moving: &lt;/p&gt;
  10329. &lt;div&gt;
  10330. &lt;ul&gt;
  10331. &lt;li&gt;Notify HMRC about your upcoming move.&lt;/li&gt;
  10332. &lt;li&gt;Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address.&lt;/li&gt;
  10333. &lt;li&gt;Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving.&lt;/li&gt;
  10334. &lt;li&gt;If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad &amp;#8211; contact the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gov.uk/international-pension-centre&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;International Pension Centre&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  10335. &lt;li&gt;You can sign up to the Royal Mail&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.royalmail.com/personal/receiving-mail/redirection&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;redirection service&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  10336. &lt;li&gt;If you have outstanding student loans, contact the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gov.uk/contact-student-loans-company&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Student Loans Centre&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  10337. &lt;li&gt;If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools. &lt;/li&gt;
  10338. &lt;/ul&gt;
  10339. &lt;/div&gt;

  10398. &lt;p&gt;Posting on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;content creator&lt;/a&gt;, who is from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wales/&quot;&gt;North Wales&lt;/a&gt; and has “always dreamt of being closer to the ocean”, has given her followers a close-up look at her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34214982/live-in-caravan-beach-mortgage-free-cheap/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;caravan’s overhaul&lt;/a&gt;, leaving many open-mouthed.&lt;/p&gt;
  10399.  
  10400.  
  10401.  
  10402. &lt;p&gt;In a short clip that was recently shared online, Liv demonstrated how she and her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/relationship-advice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;partner&lt;/a&gt; “eliminated the Live, Laugh, Love” from their “pre-loved Haven &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;home&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10403.  
  10404.  
  10405.  
  10406. &lt;p&gt;Showing off the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34072905/caravan-life-cheap-no-hot-water-electricity/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;caravan&lt;/a&gt; soon after she bought it, which had been “abused and battered by Haven guests over the years” and is on the Green Acres Caravan Park in Carlisle, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cumbria/&quot;&gt;Cumbria&lt;/a&gt;, Liv penned: “Our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30739519/get-paid-living-caravan-electricity-water-wifi-free/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;static caravan&lt;/a&gt; was giving sad, beige energy, so we decided to give it a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/29822244/retro-caravan-facebook-marketplace-transformation-temu-dunelm/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;makeover&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;

  10409.  
  10410. &lt;p&gt;Then, alongside clips of her partner ripping up wallpaper, painting and adding &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31610358/plain-hallway-mega-makeover-cheap-bargain-buys-panelling/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;panelling&lt;/a&gt; to the wall, Liv added: “A home from home vibe, starting with our daughter’s room.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10411.  
  10412.  
  10413.  
  10414. &lt;p&gt;Showing off the finished result &amp;#8211; a pretty, purple room that is super cute and is sure to be a little one’s dream, Liv stressed: “Caravans don’t have to be basic and beige.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10415.  
  10416.  
  10417.  
  10418. &lt;p&gt;In a follow-up clip, Liv confirmed that she was able to add colour to her daughter’s caravan bedroom with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/33158735/cheap-bathroom-makeover-paint-tiles-saved-hundreds/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;paint&lt;/a&gt; in the shade Dusted Fondant by Dulux.&lt;/p&gt;

  10474. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10475. CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. &lt;/p&gt;
  10477. &lt;div&gt;
  10478. &lt;p&gt;And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain&amp;#8217;s purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break.&lt;/p&gt;
  10479. &lt;p&gt;Josie O&amp;#8217;Brien, Senior Digital Writer on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/&quot;&gt;Fabulous&lt;/a&gt;, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  10480. &lt;p&gt;WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. &lt;/p&gt;
  10481. &lt;p&gt;She’d use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays.&lt;/p&gt;
  10482. &lt;p&gt;As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. &lt;/p&gt;
  10483. &lt;p&gt;No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. &lt;/p&gt;
  10484. &lt;p&gt;I still love caravan holidays as an adult. &lt;/p&gt;
  10485. &lt;p&gt;In a world of doing everything for the ‘gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. &lt;/p&gt;
  10486. &lt;p&gt;There’s no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don’t find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. &lt;/p&gt;
  10487. &lt;p&gt;I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. &lt;/p&gt;
  10488. &lt;p&gt;My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. &lt;/p&gt;
  10489. &lt;p&gt;And then, of course, there’s the cost. &lt;/p&gt;
  10490. &lt;p&gt;Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. &lt;/p&gt;
  10491. &lt;p&gt;With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I&amp;#8217;m spending hundreds less than I would abroad.&lt;/p&gt;
  10492. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I&amp;#8217;ll buy my own one day.&lt;/p&gt;
  10493. &lt;/div&gt;
  10494. &lt;/div&gt;
  10495. &lt;/div&gt;

  10526.  
  10527.  
  10528.  
  10529. &lt;p&gt;To this, Liv clarified: &amp;#8220;We don’t plan to sell. If we can’t keep it on Haven anymore I will move it to private land.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

  10579. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The aim is that those dead cells will slowly but surely over the following few weeks pass into my bloodstream and be excreted from my body through my lymphatic system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10580.  
  10581.  
  10582.  
  10583. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Hey presto, a flat stomach for the first time in over a decade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10584.  
  10585.  
  10586.  
  10587. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I was having a slimming tweakment called &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/16226376/what-coolsculpting-is-dangerous/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;CoolSculpting&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10588.  
  10589.  
  10590.  
  10591. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It was the same one that stunning, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/16224697/linda-evangelista-coolsculpting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;leggy supermodel Linda&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;Evangelista had&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; – but bits of her body actually ended up FATTER.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10592.  
  10593.  
  10594.  
  10595. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But after a lot of research, I decided this non-surgical, non-invasive fat reduction treatment really was the one for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10596.  
  10597.  
  10598.  
  10599. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I have always been an “apple”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10600.  
  10601.  
  10602.  
  10603. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;My legs and arms are decent, but as I’ve got older the weight – and fat – has piled on around my middle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10604.  
  10605.  
  10606.  
  10607. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Although&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;I’m far too old for a bikini, I did fancy the idea of having a flatter and even slightly toned stomach again, so I could wear some figure-hugging outfits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10608.  
  10609.  
  10610.  
  10611. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I’ve had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/botox/&quot;&gt;Botox&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;span id=&quot;e13a0739-ee16-480f-9241-a491ec910703&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;celebrity&lt;/span&gt; favourite Sadaf for many years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  10640.  
  10641.  
  10642.  
  10643. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Three years ago, one of the most photographed women in the world revealed that she had been left “permanently deformed” and “brutally disfigured” from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/5794016/fat-freezing-work-safe-weight-loss/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;fat freezing procedure.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10644.  
  10645.  
  10646.  
  10647. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;She suffered &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/16220140/supermodel-linda-evangelista-disfigured-cosmetic-procedure/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;paradoxical adipose hyperplasia &lt;/a&gt;(PAH), a rare side effect where fat cells expand instead of shrinking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10648.  
  10649.  
  10650.  
  10651. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Linda had “full-body liposuction” procedures in 2016 and 2017 to try and remove the hardened fat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10652.  
  10653.  
  10654.  
  10655. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So you would think I was nuts to even attempt to have this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10656.  
  10657.  
  10658.  
  10659. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But Sadaf explained how there was a new newly designed machine which provides better skin contact and more effective cooling. There is still a risk of PAH, but it&amp;#8217;s minimal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10660.  
  10661.  
  10662.  
  10663. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;My hour-long session cost £550 and kicked off with a rather embarrassing photo shoot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10664.  
  10665.  
  10666.  
  10667. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I had to strip to my undies and stand sideways as her assistant snapped pics of my bulging tummy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  10672.  
  10673.  
  10674.  
  10675. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35661706&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/sun-sundays-jane-atkinson-gets-980845996.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A woman receiving a liposuction treatment at a clinic.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35661706&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;Darren Fletcher&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Half an hour later, she was back to start the &amp;#8216;hideously intense&amp;#8217; massage to destroy the fat crystals[/caption]
  10676.  
  10677.  
  10678.  
  10679. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Instinctively, I wanted to suck it all in, but that would have defeated the whole point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10680.  
  10681.  
  10682.  
  10683. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sadaf then soothingly agreed that I was a great candidate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span&gt;Which meant, in polite terms, I had plenty of pinchable fat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10684.  
  10685.  
  10686.  
  10687. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I lay back on a bed in her clinic and she drew around an area of my muffin top before spreading over a heavy gauze with a thick jelly texture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10688.  
  10689.  
  10690.  
  10691. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Then she grabbed the CoolSculpting “head”, which was a 30cm long and 10cm wide contraption attached to a large machine by a tube.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span&gt;She laid the head on top of the gauze pad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10692.  
  10693.  
  10694.  
  10695. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And that’s when the fun really started. The machine began to make sucking and gulping noises as it suctioned my fat up and away into the gadget – and started to freeze it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10696.  
  10697.  
  10698.  
  10699. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I sensed an intense cooling sensation for around two minutes, which might not sound very long, but it felt strange. And for the first time I started to wonder what on &lt;span id=&quot;f5a0e7f6-654d-4b82-86b8-18ff2f69e977&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;earth&lt;/span&gt; I was actually doing there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10700.  
  10701.  
  10702.  
  10703. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Just give it a couple of minutes,” Sadaf assured me. “And then you won’t feel a thing.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10704.  
  10705.  
  10706.  
  10707. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;She was right of course, all of a sudden everything went completely numb. If I am honest, it was all quite pleasant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10708.  
  10709.  
  10710.  
  10711. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I just lay there, scrolling on my phone. I FaceTimed a friend, did a bit of work and happily daydreamed of my new toned and honed physique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10712.  
  10713.  
  10714.  
  10715. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But the relaxed vibes were short-lived. Half an hour later, she was back to start the hideously intense massage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10716.  
  10717.  
  10718.  
  10719. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sadaf is petite – tiny in fact – but she is stronger than she looks and defrosting the crystals is agony.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10720.  
  10721.  
  10722.  
  10723. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  10724. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  10725. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  10726. &lt;p&gt;The relaxed vibes were short-lived. Half an hour later, she was back to start the hideously intense massage&lt;/p&gt;
  10727. &lt;/div&gt;
  10728. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  10729. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  10731.  
  10732.  
  10733.  
  10734. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“This is the most important bit,” she said. “This is how you get the best results.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10735.  
  10736.  
  10737.  
  10738. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But I was warned to be patient. I had to wait several weeks before I started to notice those eagerly anticipated results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10739.  
  10740.  
  10741.  
  10742. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And in the meantime I had to be brave and learn to deal with the strangest of sensations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10743.  
  10744.  
  10745.  
  10746. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;First off, the area felt entirely numb.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10747.  
  10748.  
  10749.  
  10750. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35662517&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/2025/07/linda-evangelista-attends-kerings-2nd-850232904.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;Linda Evangelista at Kering's Caring For Women dinner.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35662517&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;Leggy supermodel Linda Evangelista had the same procedure – but actually ended up FATTER due to a rare side effect[/caption]
  10751.  
  10752.  
  10753.  
  10754. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35661685&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/sun-sundays-jane-atkinson-gets-980845954.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Woman receiving coolsculpting treatment at a clinic.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35661685&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;827&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Darren Fletcher&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Jane had to wait several weeks before she started to notice the results[/caption]
  10755.  
  10756.  
  10757.  
  10758. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Because the device freezes fat, the nerves under the skin also get a chilling blast and it takes a while for them to come back to life. It looked bloated and swollen, but if I touched it, flicked it or squeezed it as hard as I could, I felt nothing. Absolutely no sensation at all. Zilch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10759.  
  10760.  
  10761.  
  10762. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And I was fine with that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10763.  
  10764.  
  10765.  
  10766. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But then, after about ten days, the itching started to creep in.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;And boy did it itch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10767.  
  10768.  
  10769.  
  10770. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Imagine an army of angry ants crawling slowly but surely all over your torso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10771.  
  10772.  
  10773.  
  10774. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;After speaking to Sadaf, she suggested taking antihistamines. The itching is often a result of the body’s inflammatory response to the fat cell damage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10775.  
  10776.  
  10777.  
  10778. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As I am prone to an allergy or two, I had plenty of tablets at my disposal. After taking them for a couple of days, the itching subsided.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10779.  
  10780.  
  10781.  
  10782. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;On the upside, at least I knew that the weirdness meant it was working.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10783.  
  10784.  
  10785.  
  10786. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Unlike the&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35541925/botched-lipo-triple-boobs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; surgical procedure liposuction&lt;/a&gt;, that removes fat through a suction technique, the results aren’t immediate or dramatic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10787.  
  10788.  
  10789.  
  10790. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment and it can take months for results to show.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10791.  
  10792.  
  10793.  
  10794. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;SMOOTHER STOMACH&lt;/h2&gt;
  10795.  
  10796.  
  10797.  
  10798. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But now, ten weeks later, I can definitely see some.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10799.  
  10800.  
  10801.  
  10802. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The whole area around my stomach is smoother and less flabby. You can visibly see that there is less fat there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10803.  
  10804.  
  10805.  
  10806. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35661722&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/2025/07/jane-atkinson-tested-belly-tweakment-1003603086.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;Woman in blue athletic wear stands against a pink background.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35661722&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;LORNA ROACH&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Jane says the whole area around her stomach is smoother and less flabby &amp;#8211; and was able to wear a tight dress during a recent holiday[/caption]
  10807.  
  10808.  
  10809.  
  10810. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I recently went on holiday and could wear a tight dress without having a bulging gut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10811.  
  10812.  
  10813.  
  10814. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I even asked The Geordie – my husband, who is a man of few compliments – if it looked any flatter and he agreed it did. Result!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10815.  
  10816.  
  10817.  
  10818. &lt;p&gt;And the tape measure even shows results too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10819.  
  10820.  
  10821.  
  10822. &lt;p&gt;At a recent health check up I discovered that I’ve lost 6cm off my waist in the past year. &amp;nbsp;And I know there’s zero chance of that being down to sit ups or knocking Sauvignon Blanc on the head!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10823.  
  10824.  
  10825.  
  10826. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I am planning to have another round of CoolSculpting – when I have saved up for it, because it does cost £550 a go – as there is no limit to the number of treatments you can have. You just need to wait for a couple of months in between them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10827.  
  10828.  
  10829.  
  10830. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Obviously the quicker route to achieve fat melting is the surgical one, but the risks and costs are so much higher and CoolSculpting really is something you can have during your lunchtime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10831.  
  10832.  
  10833.  
  10834. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So – unless you want to tell the world about it, as I have just done – it can be your own little secret.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10835.  
  10836.  
  10837.  
  10838. &lt;ul&gt;
  10839. &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For more information on CoolSculpting visit&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sadafjaffari.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sadafjaffari.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  10867. &lt;p&gt;SHE&amp;#8217;S known for her chart-topping hits about the euphoric highs and devastating lows that come with falling in love.&lt;/p&gt;
  10868.  
  10869.  
  10870.  
  10871. &lt;p&gt;And Lorde&amp;#8217;s latest relationship drama should provide her with plenty of material for her next album.&lt;/p&gt;

  10884.  
  10885.  
  10886.  
  10887. &lt;p&gt;The singer appeared to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35621026/lorde-new-man-glastonbury-ex-tiktok/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;make her new romance&lt;/a&gt; with music producer Jim-E Stack public at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glastonbury/&quot;&gt;Glastonbury&lt;/a&gt; last weekend, with the couple spotted with their arms around each other watching &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-1975/&quot;&gt;The 1975&lt;/a&gt; headline the Pyramid Stage on Friday night, as revealed by The Sun.&lt;/p&gt;
  10888.  
  10889.  
  10890.  
  10891. &lt;p&gt;The double &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/grammy-awards/&quot;&gt;Grammy award-winning&lt;/a&gt; singer had played a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35592456/glastonbury-lorde-charli-xcx-surprise/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;surprise set&lt;/a&gt; at Worthy Farm earlier in the day, when herself and Stack were seen getting close on stage during their performance.&lt;/p&gt;
  10892.  
  10893.  
  10894.  
  10895. &lt;p&gt;But the loved-up pics sparked a bitter backlash online &amp;#8211; led by Stack&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;fuming&amp;#8221; ex-girlfriend, US singer Kacy Hill.&lt;/p&gt;
  10896.  
  10897.  
  10898.  
  10899. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35305230/bianca-censori-launches-own-business-away-kanye-west/&quot;&gt;Kanye West’s&lt;/a&gt; former backing dancer-turned-singer took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; to subtly claim her music maker ex-boyfriend ended their six-and-half-year relationship for Lorde, after the pair collaborated on her new album Virgin.&lt;/p&gt;
  10900.  
  10901.  
  10902.  
  10903. &lt;p&gt;Mindful of the singer&amp;#8217;s passionate fan base, Kacy, 31, resisted the temptation to give Lorde, 28, a blatant blasting on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  10904.  
  10905.  
  10906.  
  10907. &lt;p&gt;Instead she posted a video which shows her slow clapping alongside the caption: “Let’s hear it for the man who ended my 6.5 year relationship while making a girl’s album then started dating her,” to the soundtrack of Lorde’s single &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35596440/lorde-private-parts-new-album-glasto-set/&quot;&gt;Man of the Year.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10908.  
  10909.  
  10910.  
  10911. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile observers are suggesting that Lorde has form for dating her producers. &lt;/p&gt;
  10912.  
  10913.  
  10914.  
  10915. &lt;p&gt;Her romance with Stack comes eight years after the singer, who has recorded three &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35440244/ocean-colour-scene-new-song-banger-album/&quot;&gt;UK Top 10 albums&lt;/a&gt;, struck up a rumoured romance with another producer, Jack Antonoff, who was behind her 2017 album Melodrama, while he was dating actress &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lena-dunham/&quot;&gt;Lena Dunham&lt;/a&gt;, 39.&lt;/p&gt;
  10916.  
  10917.  
  10918.  
  10919. &lt;p&gt;Lorde and Stack had previously been snapped snuggling up together on a park bench in New York in October last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10920.  
  10921.  
  10922.  
  10923. &lt;p&gt;According to insiders, Kacy is quietly fuming and believes Lorde broke “girl code”.&lt;/p&gt;

  10954.  
  10955. &lt;p&gt;A source said: “Kacy feels let down by both Jim and Lorde.&lt;/p&gt;
  10956.  
  10957.  
  10958.  
  10959. &lt;p&gt;“Six-and-a-half years is a long time and for their relationship to end in this way is hard to take, it’s a real blow &amp;#8211; especially as he’s left her for another singer.&lt;/p&gt;
  10960.  
  10961.  
  10962.  
  10963. &lt;p&gt;“But in regards to Lorde it’s down to girl code, which she has dismantled big time.&lt;/p&gt;
  10964.  
  10965.  
  10966.  
  10967. &lt;p&gt;“She doesn’t seem to care about Kacy’s feelings, which has been hard for her to take.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10968.  
  10969.  
  10970.  
  10971. &lt;p&gt;Kacy, meanwhile, has continued to reassure fans over her well-being following the break-up, posting light-hearted videos about how bagels are cheering her up, while also attempting to construct a narrative her relationship with Stack “certainly wasn’t working” when he hooked up with Lorde.&lt;/p&gt;
  10972.  
  10973.  
  10974.  
  10975. &lt;p&gt;Sources close to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/new-zealand/&quot;&gt;New Zealander&lt;/a&gt; insist there was no crossover.&lt;/p&gt;
  10976.  
  10977.  
  10978.  
  10979. &lt;p&gt;But that did little to quell the rumour mill, particularly as on one of the songs on the album &amp;#8211; Current Affairs &amp;#8211; she sings about the emotional distress from an illicit relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  10980.  
  10981.  
  10982.  
  10983. &lt;p&gt;But, as alluded to earlier, there is enough evidence to suggest Kacy would be rightfully concerned over her partner working on an album with Lorde.&lt;/p&gt;
  10984.  
  10985.  
  10986.  
  10987. &lt;p&gt;Lorde has only recently split from her boyfriend Justin Warren, who was 17 years her senior.&lt;/p&gt;

  11005.  
  11006.  
  11007.  
  11008. &lt;p&gt;In 2015 they were rumoured to be dating, and while they never spoke about their romance &amp;#8211; in 2016 Justin labelled speculation they were dating as “ridiculous” &amp;#8211; he was often by her side.&lt;/p&gt;
  11009.

  11011.  
  11012. &lt;p&gt;Lorde, real name Ella Yelich O’Connor, confirmed she went through a &amp;#8220;painful&amp;#8221; breakup in 2023 during an interview with Rolling Stone, admitting: &amp;#8220;It continues to be a relationship that I cherish.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11036. &lt;p&gt;Lorde is rumoured to have grown close to producer Jack Antonoff &amp;#8211; 13 years her senior at 41 &amp;#8211; during the making of her second album in 2017, while she was still believed to be with Justin.&lt;/p&gt;
  11037.  
  11038.  
  11039.  
  11040. &lt;p&gt;He had been in a relationship with Tiny Furniture star Lena, but the pair had started to drift due to the lack of the time they were spending together, as the actress was a key part of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1774560/what-does-hillary-clintons-pneumonia-diagnosis-mean-for-the-us-presidential-race-and-what-happens-if-she-drops-out/&quot;&gt;Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign trail.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11041.  
  11042.  
  11043.  
  11044. &lt;p&gt;There were rumours that several of the tracks on the album were about Jack and Lorde&amp;#8217;s blossoming romance, including Green Light &amp;#8211; which Lorde said herself she was inspired to write after attending a concert with the producer.&lt;/p&gt;
  11045.  
  11046.  
  11047.  
  11048. &lt;p&gt;Another track which raised eyebrows was Sober, explained by the singer in this Tweet: “I’ll never forget writing the first demo it was like a trance I guided Jack to the chords almost wordlessly with my hands on his shoulders.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11049.  
  11050.  
  11051.  
  11052. &lt;p&gt;The rumours intensified when a fan created a PowerPoint presentation, which went viral, attempting to prove a legitimate romantic link between the two collaborators, which featured some compelling viewpoints.&lt;/p&gt;
  11053.  
  11054.  
  11055.  
  11056. &lt;p&gt;Jack and Lena split in the December of 2017, just months after Melodrama was released.&lt;/p&gt;
  11057.  
  11058.  
  11059.  
  11060. &lt;p&gt;In February 2018, Lorde and Jack were spotted looking very cosy in her hometown, Auckland, after they were snapped with her arms wrapped around him, both sporting huge grins.&lt;/p&gt;
  11061.  
  11062.  
  11063.  
  11064. &lt;p&gt;Lorde and Lena were once very close, even living together at one point, but in an interview with The Cut in November 2018 the Girls star revealed she hadn&amp;#8217;t spoken to the singer since her and Jack split.&lt;/p&gt;
  11065.  
  11066.  
  11067.  
  11068. &lt;p&gt;Lena told the publication: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t think anything happened between them. I can never know someone else’s life. I have never spoken to Ella [Lorde] about it. We haven’t talked since Jack and I broke up. &lt;/p&gt;
  11069.  
  11070.  
  11071.  
  11072. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was awful, and I couldn’t do anything about it except trust that what he was saying to me was true.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11077.  
  11078.  
  11079.  
  11080. &lt;p&gt;The pair broke their silence on the speculation, which at this time was in overdrive thanks to that PowerPoint presentation, by releasing their own statements on the alleged romance.&lt;/p&gt;
  11081.  
  11082.  
  11083.  
  11084. &lt;p&gt;Jack tweeted shortly after they were spotted in Auckland: “Normally I would never address rumors but I resent having the most important friendships and working relationships in my life reduced to dumb hetero normative gossip.&lt;/p&gt;
  11085.  
  11086.  
  11087.  
  11088. &lt;p&gt;“Those relationships are deeply important and sacred. With that said, I’m not seeing anyone. lol.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11089.  
  11090.  
  11091.  
  11092. &lt;p&gt;The following month Lorde attempted to set the record straight herself, during an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; Live, saying: “Guys, Jack and I are not dating, for the last time.&lt;/p&gt;
  11093.  
  11094.  
  11095.  
  11096. &lt;p&gt;“I love him, he’s awesome. But we’re not dating! Please!”&lt;/p&gt;
  11097.  
  11098.  
  11099.  
  11100. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Love song&lt;/h2&gt;
  11101.  
  11102.  
  11103.  
  11104. &lt;p&gt;In April that year, on the Melodrama tour, Lorde sang a love song &amp;#8211; a cover of St Vincent&amp;#8217;s New York &amp;#8211; accompanied by Jack on guitar and the pair enjoyed flirty banter on stage during a performance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. &lt;/p&gt;
  11105.  
  11106.  
  11107.  
  11108. &lt;p&gt;Fans remain convinced something went on between them eight years on, believing her electro-pop anthem What Was That, released in April, was her own &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35191743/taylor-swift-record-label-masters/&quot;&gt;Taylor Swift-style breakup song&lt;/a&gt; about Jack, mainly thanks to these lyrics: “Yeah, I’m missin’ you / And all the things we used to do.&lt;/p&gt;
  11109.  
  11110.  
  11111.  
  11112. &lt;p&gt;“We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?”&lt;/p&gt;
  11113.  
  11114.  
  11115.  
  11116. &lt;p&gt;For the cynics out there, Lorde’s new relationship with Stack was revealed just as her new album Virgin was released.&lt;/p&gt;
  11117.  
  11118.  
  11119.  
  11120. &lt;p&gt;Last week Stack posted a tribute to Lorde on Instagram, writing: &amp;#8220;There’s no one I’d rather be in the trenches with. Eternally grateful for the journey together. Love you forever Ella.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11121.  
  11122.  
  11123.  
  11124. &lt;p&gt;Arguably it&amp;#8217;s all handy timing for some much needed publicity.&lt;/p&gt;
  11125.  
  11126.  
  11127.  
  11128. &lt;p&gt;Not that Lorde really needed it, as she garnered global attention by dropping a bombshell claim during an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in May regarding her gender identity, revealing: “I’m a woman except for the days when I’m a man.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11129.  
  11130.  
  11131.  
  11132. &lt;p&gt;It’s unlikely spurned singer Kacy will see that as an excuse for burning girl code.&lt;/p&gt;

  11188. &lt;p&gt;B&amp;amp;M shoppers are scrambling to get their hands on a reversible corner sofa after one customer spotted it in-store for just &lt;strong&gt;£175&lt;/strong&gt; – down from £250.&lt;/p&gt;
  11189.  
  11190.  
  11191.  
  11192. &lt;p&gt;Posting in a popular deals group, she wrote: “Reversible corner sofa spotted at B&amp;amp;M” – and it didn’t take long for others to take notice.&lt;/p&gt;
  11193.

  11197.  
  11198.  
  11199.  
  11200. &lt;p&gt;The stylish grey sofa features a switchable chaise, meaning it can be set up to suit either side of the room. &lt;/p&gt;
  11201.  
  11202.  
  11203.  
  11204. &lt;p&gt;It’s ideal for smaller spaces, rented homes, or anyone after a versatile living room upgrade without breaking the bank.&lt;/p&gt;
  11205.  
  11206.  
  11207.  
  11208. &lt;p&gt;It quickly caught the attention of fellow shoppers.&lt;/p&gt;

  11221.  
  11222.  
  11223.  
  11224. &lt;p&gt;Another asked: “Which aisle is it in?” &lt;/p&gt;
  11225.  
  11226.  
  11227.  
  11228. &lt;p&gt;Others simply said they “needed this” and tagged their friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  11229.  
  11230.  
  11231.  
  11232. &lt;p&gt;The sofa has a clean, modern look with soft grey fabric and chunky cushions. &lt;/p&gt;
  11233.  
  11234.  
  11235.

  11267.

  11269.  
  11270.  
  11271.  
  11272. &lt;p&gt;Parents were thrilled to spot a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/18194690/aldi-giant-inflatable-waterslide-shoppers-comment/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;giant garden slip-and-slide&lt;/a&gt; reduced to £10, while a chic wavy garden mirror dropped to just £1, perfect for brightening up patios. &lt;/p&gt;
  11273.  
  11274.  
  11275.  
  11276. &lt;p&gt;Another shopper picked up a trendy rope lampshade for £10, saving around £60 compared to designer versions. &lt;/p&gt;
  11277.  
  11278.  
  11279.  
  11280. &lt;p&gt;There was even a supermarket-style bargain when a customer bagged six boxes of cereal for just 50p each. &lt;/p&gt;
  11281.  
  11282.  
  11283.

  11383.  
  11384.

  11475. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to stay safe at the beach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11476. &lt;p&gt;Gareth Morrison, Head of Water Safety at the RNLI said: &amp;#8220;If you find yourself being swept out to sea in a rip, try to relax and float until you are free from the rip and you can then swim to safety.&lt;/p&gt;
  11477. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you see someone else in danger, alert a lifeguard or call 999 or 112 and ask for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/22380557/woman-coast-guard-people-dont-believe-look-good-uniform/&quot;&gt;Coastguard&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11478. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to stay safe at the swimming pool&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11479. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/CgbowlhD3Ng/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Tiny Hearts Education&lt;/a&gt;, former paramedic and CEO Nikki Jurcutz said: &amp;#8220;Always put your little one in bright or contrasting colours that would be easy to find in an emergency.&lt;/p&gt;
  11480. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It only takes 20 seconds to drown, little tips like this could save a life&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11481. &lt;p&gt;An Auqabliss spokesperson added: “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/swimming/&quot;&gt;Swimming&lt;/a&gt; toys such as noodles, dive rings, floaties and beach balls can be dangerous if left in the pool.&lt;/p&gt;
  11482. &lt;p&gt;“&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot;&gt;Children&lt;/a&gt; may try to grab these from the pool’s edge and fall in.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11483. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to stay safe at a waterpark&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11484. &lt;p&gt;Ali Beckman, &lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.puddleducks.com/__;!!F0Stn7g!EQdqMOlx1gDhU_UQhxO5xt0lq8WJa2BaQQcguUpLUEb4QAT86xf6Q81MTbxdXBGKkeKLr0ZnQLu7gi9r0e1c-OCBQYZ9ds4OM0FLOw$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Puddle Ducks&lt;/a&gt; Technical Director, said: &amp;#8220;Never send a child down the slide on their own, not only are they going to be entering the slide pool area independently, they then have to exit the pool and wait for an adult.&lt;/p&gt;
  11485. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And wave pools should be avoided until your child is really confident with water going over their faces and you know they are able to regain their feet independently.&lt;/p&gt;
  11486. &lt;p&gt;“&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/22717637/swimming-expert-waterparks-safety-children-kids/&quot;&gt;Waterparks &lt;/a&gt;are often very busy places and it’s easy to lose sight of a child in a split second.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11672. &lt;p&gt;Locals have been left horrified following the crash that happened in Williamstown &amp;#8211; located around 24 miles from Philadelphia. &lt;/p&gt;

  11677.  
  11678.  
  11679.  
  11680. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have kids in there. Who knows if they&amp;#8217;re going to crash into our house?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11691. A series of devastating plane crashes, including the mid-air collision above DC that killed 67, has left Americans terrified of traveling by air. &lt;/p&gt;
  11693. &lt;div&gt;
  11694. &lt;p&gt;However, aviation expert and attorney Jason Matzus told The U.S. Sun the crashes can be attributed to &amp;#8220;random clustering.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11695. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While these events are tragic, the likely explanation is simply &amp;#8216;random clustering,&amp;#8217; which occurs when multiple crashes occur over a short period, warping our general perception and causing us to think that there is an increasing trend in plane crashes,&amp;#8221; Matzus said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11696. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When in reality these crashes, despite being so close together, are merely coincidental and not caused by a systemic safety issue.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11697. &lt;p&gt;The short period Matzus referred to was just a matter of three weeks. The aviation mishaps included:&lt;/p&gt;
  11698. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January 29&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; A military helicopter and American Airlines plane collided at the Washington DC airport, killing 67 people&lt;/p&gt;

  11811. &lt;p&gt;EASTENDERS star Heather Peace has revealed her wife Ellie has breast cancer &amp;#8211; just months after she had her own surgery to beat the disease.&lt;/p&gt;
  11812.  
  11813.  
  11814.  
  11815. &lt;p&gt;The actress, 50, who plays Eve Panesar-Unwin in the BBC soap, was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34920563/eastenders-heather-peace-cancer-video/&quot;&gt;diagnosed in October&lt;/a&gt; and went public with the news last month.&lt;/p&gt;

  11828.  
  11829.  
  11830.  
  11831. &lt;p&gt;Now, as she prepares to begin radiotherapy treatment, Heather told the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/eastenders-heather-peace-says-cancer-35489909&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mirror&lt;/a&gt; that Ellie has quietly been living with the condition too.&lt;/p&gt;
  11832.  
  11833.  
  11834.  
  11835. &lt;p&gt;She explained: &amp;#8220;Her breast cancer was a smaller, aggressive lump, so she had a lumpectomy and then radiotherapy.&lt;/p&gt;
  11836.  
  11837.  
  11838.  
  11839. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Of course then I come along with my 12 cm lump, absolutely ginormous, and mastectomy, chemotherapy, just about to go into radiotherapy.&lt;/p&gt;
  11840.  
  11841.  
  11842.  
  11843. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s like &amp;#8216;Even that you have to do bigger.&amp;#8217; It&amp;#8217;s like &amp;#8216;Hold my beer.'&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11844.  
  11845.  
  11846.  
  11847. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34925960/eastenders-heather-peace-heartbreaking-comment-cancer-battle/&quot;&gt;Heather was diagnosed&lt;/a&gt; with cancer in October though initially put off going to her GP after noticing a change to her nipple because of her busy work schedule.&lt;/p&gt;
  11848.  
  11849.  
  11850.  
  11851. &lt;p&gt;When she received her diagnosis she said she felt &amp;#8220;like a dead woman walking.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11852.  
  11853.  
  11854.  
  11855. &lt;p&gt;The TV star had a left breast mastectomy and reconstruction on November 29, after being reassured by Ellie that an implant was the right option for her.&lt;/p&gt;
  11856.  
  11857.  
  11858.  
  11859. &lt;p&gt;Months later, she was left &amp;#8220;devastated&amp;#8221; by the loss of her hair through chemotherapy.&lt;/p&gt;
  11860.  
  11861.  
  11862.  
  11863. &lt;p&gt;Last month she shared a clip of her at a wig fitting.&lt;/p&gt;
  11864.  
  11865.  
  11866.  
  11867. &lt;p&gt;She captioned it: &amp;#8220;This video is an important part of my recent journey, which I wanted to share with you.&lt;/p&gt;

  11892.  
  11893.  
  11894.  
  11895. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I needed a wig fitting. I’ve been on quite a road for many months now.&lt;/p&gt;
  11896.  
  11897.  
  11898.  
  11899. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of October.&lt;/p&gt;
  11900.  
  11901.  
  11902.  
  11903. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Since then I’ve undergone surgery and recovery over the Christmas period and today my chemotherapy journey ended.&lt;/p&gt;
  11904.  
  11905.  
  11906.  
  11907. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I woke up this morning and it was like the end of the London Marathon; I’d turned onto The Mall and could see the giant clock &amp;amp; the finish line.&lt;/p&gt;
  11908.  
  11909.  
  11910.  
  11911. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To conclude &amp;#8211; I’ve just picked up my medal.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11912.  
  11913.  
  11914.  
  11915. &lt;p&gt;Heather told her followers she has been &amp;#8220;forever changed&amp;#8221; by the disease and paid tribute to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34944779/eastenders-star-heather-peace-cancer-diagnosis/&quot;&gt;Ellie and their three daughters&lt;/a&gt;, Annie, 10, Jessie and Lola, both eight, for getting her through it.&lt;/p&gt;
  11916.  
  11917.  
  11918.  
  11919. &lt;p&gt;She said she was &amp;#8220;just trying to appreciate every moment of them&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11920.  
  11921.  
  11922.  
  11923. &lt;p&gt;Heather added: &amp;#8220;There have been so many positives.&lt;/p&gt;
  11924.  
  11925.  
  11926.  
  11927. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you to the whole EE team for going above &amp;amp; beyond. Particularly our amazing makeup team.&lt;/p&gt;
  11928.  
  11929.  
  11930.  
  11931. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And to Alex Rouss for the original wig &amp;amp; Linda for the spot on cut.&lt;/p&gt;
  11932.  
  11933.  
  11934.  
  11935. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ve felt totally supported by you all. Thank you to all of the friends in my local community who’ve been there for me and my family at the drop of a hat (you know who you are).&lt;/p&gt;
  11936.  
  11937.  
  11938.  
  11939. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you to the NHS. You are wonderful, skilled people. You treated me efficiently. You gave me dignity and showed me kindness. It’s so appreciated.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11940.  
  11941.  
  11942.  
  11943. &lt;p&gt;Heather ended her post admitting &amp;#8220;life feels very different now&amp;#8221; but said &amp;#8220;it’s wonderful&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  11944.  
  11945.  
  11946.  
  11947. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;I will continue to cherish and be grateful for all I am blessed with. I feel very lucky. With love, Heather xxx&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11952.  
  11953.  
  11954.  
  11955. &lt;p&gt;She penned: &amp;#8220;I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. WARRIOR WOMAN!!!! Love the bones of you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11965. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  11966. BREAST cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK. &lt;/p&gt;
  11968. &lt;div&gt;
  11969. &lt;p&gt;The majority of women who get it are over 50, but younger women and, in rare cases, men can also get breast cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  11970. &lt;p&gt;If it’s treated early enough, breast cancer can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body.&lt;/p&gt;
  11971. &lt;p&gt;Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue.&lt;/p&gt;
  11972. &lt;p&gt;Most breast lumps aren’t cancerous, but it’s always best to have them checked by your doctor. You should also speak to your GP if you notice any of the following:&lt;/p&gt;
  11973. &lt;ul&gt;
  11974. &lt;li&gt;a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts&lt;/li&gt;
  11975. &lt;li&gt;discharge from either of your nipples&amp;nbsp;(which may be streaked with blood)&lt;/li&gt;
  11976. &lt;li&gt;a lump or swelling in either of your armpits&lt;/li&gt;
  11977. &lt;li&gt;dimpling on the skin of your breasts&lt;/li&gt;
  11978. &lt;li&gt;a rash on or around your nipple&lt;/li&gt;
  11979. &lt;li&gt;a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast&lt;/li&gt;
  11980. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11981. &lt;p&gt;Source: NHS &lt;/p&gt;

  12006.  
  12007.  
  12008.  
  12009. &lt;p&gt;Heather got her first taste of music success in 2000 when her London&amp;#8217;s Burning character sang Bette Midler&amp;nbsp;song&amp;nbsp;The Rose, which was released and reached no. 58 in the UK charts.&lt;/p&gt;
  12010.  
  12011.  
  12012.  
  12013. &lt;p&gt;She has since released five albums, the last of which was 2018&amp;#8217;s Hey Mayhem.&lt;/p&gt;

  12121. &lt;p&gt;MANCHESTER UNITED made one of the &amp;#8220;biggest mistakes in football&amp;#8221; by selling Scott McTominay, a former Red Devils coach has claimed.&lt;/p&gt;
  12122.  
  12123.  
  12124.  
  12125. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;12058c84-5fc3-4bbe-8ddd-1f71abb71941&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/span&gt; international&amp;#8217;s near-life-long love affair with the Old Trafford club came to an end last August when he joined &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1395978/napoli/&quot;&gt;Napoli&lt;/a&gt; for a fee of £27.5million.&lt;/p&gt;

  12165. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Having said that, it was one of the biggest mistakes in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; to let him leave. He was born to play for United.&lt;/p&gt;

  12169. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Maybe he wasn’t the most technical, but he had fight, and I think it’s what they will get back with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/matheus-cunha/&quot;&gt;Matheus Cunha&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  12687. &lt;p&gt;WETHERSPOONS is set to close a city centre pub after 30 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  12688.  
  12689.  
  12690.  
  12691. &lt;p&gt;Punters have been left gutted after hearing that the fan favourite boozer in Preston would be going on the market.&lt;/p&gt;
  12692.

  12700.  
  12701.  
  12702.  
  12703. &lt;p&gt;The Grey Friar, which opened in the 1990s, has now been put up for sale, the pub chain has said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12704.  
  12705.  
  12706.  
  12707. &lt;p&gt;The popular Spoons boozer was a staple of the local area and will remain open until sold.&lt;/p&gt;
  12708.  
  12709.  
  12710.  
  12711. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson said that it will remain trading as a Wetherspoon pub&amp;nbsp;until it is sold and that there will be no redundancies made.&lt;/p&gt;
  12712.  
  12713.  
  12714.  
  12715. &lt;p&gt;He added&amp;nbsp;that, when the establishment is sold, staff will be offered&amp;nbsp;jobs at other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pubs/&quot;&gt;pubs&lt;/a&gt; in the chain.&lt;/p&gt;
  12716.  
  12717.  
  12718.  
  12719. &lt;p&gt;The Grey Friar was named after Franciscan monks, who founded a nearby friary in the early 13th century. &lt;/p&gt;
  12720.  
  12721.  
  12722.  
  12723. &lt;p&gt;This&amp;nbsp;is also the namesake of Friargate, the street on which the boozer&amp;nbsp;stands.&lt;/p&gt;
  12724.  
  12725.  
  12726.  
  12727. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully for Wetherspoons fans, there is another branch in the city centre,&amp;nbsp;the Twelve Tellers on Church Street.&lt;/p&gt;
  12728.  
  12729.  
  12730.  
  12731. &lt;p&gt;But locals were still devastated by the move with many losing their favourite&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35100135/best-named-pub-list-drunken-duck/&quot;&gt;boozer&lt;/a&gt; in town, commonly known as &amp;#8216;Greyfriars&amp;#8217; to many.&lt;/p&gt;
  12732.  
  12733.  
  12734.  
  12735. &lt;p&gt;Many took to social media to weigh in with their opinions after the closure was announced.&lt;/p&gt;
  12736.  
  12737.

  12779. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It comes as a wave of closures have hit UK pubs recently, figures published by the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34836599/wetherspoons-pint-prices-rise-tim-martin-blames-labour/&quot;&gt;British Beer and Pub Association&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;revealed around six pubs closed every week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12780.  
  12781.  
  12782.  
  12783. &lt;p&gt;The trade body found 289 boozers served last orders for the final time in 2024 across&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12784.  
  12785.  
  12786.  
  12787. &lt;p&gt;The data, released in April, suggested that with the closure of six boozers a week came the loss of 4,500 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12788.  
  12789.  
  12790.  
  12791. &lt;p&gt;With employer National &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/insurance/&quot;&gt;Insurance&lt;/a&gt; contributions being hiked with the minimum wage, more pubs are expected to shut this year too.&lt;/p&gt;
  12792.  
  12793.  
  12794.  
  12795. &lt;p&gt;To cope with the increased running costs pubs are forced to increase their prices.&lt;/p&gt;
  12796.  
  12797.  
  12798.  
  12799. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33068503/wetherspoons-price-rises-all-uk-pubs-drinks-meal-deals/&quot;&gt;Wetherspoon also exclusively revealed to The Sun&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in January it had increased the price of a host of drinks and meal deals by up to 30p.&lt;/p&gt;
  12800.  
  12801.  
  12802.  
  12803. &lt;p&gt;Prices on drinks were hiked by 15p, while meal deals were increased by 30p.&lt;/p&gt;
  12804.  
  12805.  
  12806.  
  12807. &lt;p&gt;Wetherspoons said a number of drinks, though, had not gone up in price including all draught lagers like Budweiser, Carling and Coors.&lt;/p&gt;
  12808.  
  12809.  
  12810.  
  12811. &lt;p&gt;Boss&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tim-martin/&quot;&gt;Tim Martin&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;said the pub chain had &amp;#8220;tried to remain as competitive as possible&amp;#8221; with its pricing.&lt;/p&gt;
  12812.  
  12813.  
  12814.  
  12815. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  12816. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  12817. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;How can I save money at Wetherspoons?&lt;/h3&gt;
  12818. &lt;/div&gt;
  12819. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;

  12824. &lt;div&gt;
  12825. &lt;p&gt;FREE refills &amp;#8211; Buy a £1.50 tea, coffee or hot chocolate and you can get free refills. The deal is available all day, every day.&lt;/p&gt;
  12826. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check a map&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Prices can vary from one location the next, even those close to each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  12827. &lt;p&gt;So if you&amp;#8217;re planning a pint at a Spoons, it&amp;#8217;s worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you&amp;#8217;re settling in at the cheapest.&lt;/p&gt;
  12828. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choose your day&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Each night the pub&amp;nbsp;chain runs certain food theme nights.&lt;/p&gt;
  12829. &lt;p&gt;For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual.&lt;/p&gt;
  12830. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pick-up vouchers &amp;#8211;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Students can often pick up voucher books in their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled.&lt;/p&gt;
  12831. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get appy&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table &amp;#8211; but you don&amp;#8217;t need to be in the pub to use it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12832. &lt;p&gt;Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks.&amp;nbsp;The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.&lt;/p&gt;
  12833. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check the date&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Every year, Spoons holds its&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hmrc/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Tax&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  12834. &lt;p&gt;It usually takes place in September, and last year it fell on Thursday, September 14.&lt;/p&gt;
  12835. &lt;p&gt;As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.&lt;/p&gt;
  12836. &lt;/div&gt;
  12837. &lt;/div&gt;

  13153. &lt;p&gt;One shopper shared their excitement on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. &lt;/p&gt;
  13154.  
  13155.  
  13156.  
  13157. &lt;p&gt;Posting a picture of the inflatables, the shopper wrote: &amp;#8220;Pool floaties bought for £8.99 from Lidl.&lt;/p&gt;
  13158.  
  13159.  
  13160.  
  13161. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I wasn&amp;#8217;t expecting them to be as big as they are!&lt;/p&gt;
  13162.  
  13163.  
  13164.  
  13165. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They have all shapes, we got the strawberry, avocado and ice lolly shape.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13166.  
  13167.  
  13168.  
  13169. &lt;p&gt;Fans quickly chimed in, sharing their experiences and photos from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/holidays/&quot;&gt;holidays&lt;/a&gt; and back gardens. &lt;/p&gt;

  13218. &lt;p&gt;THE giant car firm behind 14 brands including Fiat and Peugeot may have to close factories over EV targets, its boss has said.&lt;/p&gt;
  13219.  
  13220.  
  13221.  
  13222. &lt;p&gt;European car manufacturers are having to sell more electric vehicles to cut CO2 emissions &amp;#8211; or risk crippling penalties.&lt;/p&gt;
  13223.

  13231.  
  13232.  
  13233.  
  13234. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis may have to shut some of its factories doors due to the risk of hefty &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/european-union/&quot;&gt;European Union&lt;/a&gt; fines for not complying with CO2 emission targets, the chief of the Franco-Italian automaker for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europe/&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt; said on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  13235.  
  13236.  
  13237.  
  13238. &lt;p&gt;The automaker industry has successfully lobbied for more time to comply, as fines will be based on 2025-2027 emissions rather than just in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  13239.  
  13240.  
  13241.  
  13242. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis&amp;#8217; Europe chief Jean-Philippe Imparato slammed the targets, saying they were still unreachable for automakers, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autonews.com/stellantis/ane-stellantis-plant-closure-on-emissions-fines-0701/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Automotive News (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Automotive News&lt;/a&gt; reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  13243.  
  13244.  
  13245.  
  13246. &lt;p&gt;He then exposed his company to fines of up to 2.5 billion &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/euros/&quot;&gt;euros&lt;/a&gt; within &amp;#8220;two-three years.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13247.  
  13248.  
  13249.  
  13250. &lt;p&gt;Speaking at a conference in the lower house of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parliament/&quot;&gt;parliament&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rome/&quot;&gt;Rome&lt;/a&gt;, he said that without significant changes in the regulatory situation by the end of this year, &amp;#8220;we will have to make tough decisions.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13251.  
  13252.  
  13253.  
  13254. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis would therefore either have to double its electric vehicle sales, which is impossible, or cut the production of petrol and &lt;span id=&quot;bfcac230-6e6a-4aab-aa93-b83e5fea27e9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/span&gt; vehicles, Imparato said.&lt;/p&gt;
  13255.  
  13256.  
  13257.  
  13258. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have two solutions: either I push like hell (on electric)&amp;#8230; or I close down ICE (internal combustion engine vehicles). And therefore I close down factories,&amp;#8221; he said, at one point mentioning the Italian van-making plant of Atessa.&lt;/p&gt;
  13259.  
  13260.  
  13261.  
  13262. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile discussions &lt;span&gt;over the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;future&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of Maserati remain ongoing as&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/stellantis/&quot;&gt;Stellantis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;prepared to welcome its new CEO.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13263.  
  13264.  
  13265.  
  13266. &lt;p&gt;New CEO Antonio Filosa faces huge financial decisions as a result of President Trump&amp;#8217;s brutal trade tariffs.&lt;/p&gt;
  13267.  
  13268.  
  13269.  
  13270. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis &amp;#8211; which owns 14 brands across the globe &amp;#8211; was&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34370446/huge-sports-car-brand-could-be-sold/&quot;&gt;reported to have hired management consulting firm McKinsey and Co&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/review/&quot;&gt;review&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;the situation.&lt;/p&gt;

  13291.  
  13292.  
  13293.  
  13294. &lt;p&gt;McKinsey was called in April this year to advise on struggling brands Maserati and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alfa-romeo/&quot;&gt;Alfa Romeo&lt;/a&gt;, with both experiencing a dire 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  13295.  
  13296.  
  13297.  
  13298. &lt;p&gt;Last year, the number of Maserati units sold plunged from 26,600 to just 11,300.&lt;/p&gt;
  13299.  
  13300.  
  13301.  
  13302. &lt;p&gt;Stellanis told&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34370446/huge-sports-car-brand-could-be-sold/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Motor1&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;McKinsey has been asked to provide its considerations regarding the recently announced U.S. tariffs for Alfa Romeo and Maserati.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13303.  
  13304.  
  13305.  
  13306. &lt;p&gt;Trump&amp;#8217;s new legislation means tariffs of at least 25 percent on anything imported into the US.&lt;/p&gt;
  13307.  
  13308.  
  13309.  
  13310. &lt;p&gt;Maserati has no new model launches scheduled as it&amp;nbsp;waits for a new&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;plan, with the last one having been put on hold by Stellantis in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  13311.  
  13312.  
  13313.  
  13314. &lt;p&gt;The plan is expected to be presented soon after Filosa starts his new role.&lt;/p&gt;
  13315.  
  13316.  
  13317.  
  13318. &lt;p&gt;But as things stand, it is understood that all options remain on the table for the world-renowned Italian brand.&lt;/p&gt;
  13319.  
  13320.  
  13321.  
  13322. &lt;p&gt;It came after the global firm pulled the plug on a £1.3billion investment in Maserati earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  13323.  
  13324.  
  13325.  
  13326. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/33615127/iconic-sports-car-brand-future-scrapped-models/&quot;&gt;Plans for the hotly anticipated electric&amp;nbsp;MC20 Folgore&amp;nbsp;were also binned&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;due to low demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  13327.  
  13328.  
  13329.  
  13330. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  13331. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  13332. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is Stellantis?&lt;/h3&gt;
  13333. &lt;/div&gt;
  13334. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  13337. &lt;div&gt;
  13338. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis&amp;nbsp;is the company behind iconic motor brands such as&amp;nbsp;Fiat, Vauxhall and&amp;nbsp;Peugot.&lt;/p&gt;
  13339. &lt;p&gt;The conglomerate, which is the second-largest maker of cars in Europe, owns 14 badges, including&amp;nbsp;Chrysler,&amp;nbsp;Citroen, Jeep and Maserati.&lt;/p&gt;
  13340. &lt;p&gt;The company itself is the product of a merger between&amp;nbsp;Fiat-Chrysler&amp;nbsp;and France&amp;#8217;s PSA, the maker of&amp;nbsp;Peugeot&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Citroen, in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  13341. &lt;p&gt;But the motoring giant has encountered increasingly stuttering financial success.&lt;/p&gt;
  13342. &lt;p&gt;And an initial manufacturing break at Stellantis has now been extended as bosses report a collapse in&amp;nbsp;demand for electric cars.&lt;/p&gt;
  13343. &lt;/div&gt;
  13344. &lt;/div&gt;

  13542.  
  13543.  
  13544.  
  13545. &lt;p&gt;Tesco customers without a Clubcard would have paid £149.19, then Morrisons loyalty scheme customers (£152.91) and Morrisons non-loyalty scheme customers after &amp;#8211; £153.37.&lt;/p&gt;
  13546.  
  13547.  
  13548.  
  13549. &lt;p&gt;The basket of 79 items at Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s (non-Nectar Card), &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ocado/&quot;&gt;Ocado&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/waitrose/&quot;&gt;Waitrose&lt;/a&gt; was £153.78, £165.51 and £178.64, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

  13554.  
  13555.

  13582.  
  13583.  
  13584.  
  13585. &lt;p&gt;Waitrose was the most expensive on average, with the bigger shop costing £554.68 &amp;#8211; a difference of £70.08 compared to Asda &amp;#8211; 14% more.&lt;/p&gt;

  13597. &lt;p&gt;Reena Sewraz, Which? &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/a&gt; editor, said: &amp;#8220;Aldi has once again bagged the title of the UK’s cheapest supermarket according to our latest price analysis, with Lidl hot on its heels – just 35p behind.&lt;/p&gt;

  13604.  
  13605. &lt;p&gt;“The bigger trolley of groceries shows that Asda continues to be one of the cheaper supermarkets &amp;#8211; beating membership prices at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.&lt;/p&gt;
  13606.  
  13607.  
  13608.  
  13609. &lt;p&gt;“With food bills still squeezing household budgets, it pays to be savvy as our analysis shows simply choosing one supermarket over another could save you as much as £70 on a large shop.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13610.  
  13611.  
  13612.  
  13613. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not the first time Aldi has come out cheapest supermarket for a smaller basket of goods.&lt;/p&gt;
  13614.  
  13615.  
  13616.  
  13617. &lt;p&gt;The German retailer took the crown &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35258005/cheapest-supermarket-revealed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;in May&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34767968/uk-cheapest-supermarket-aldi-lidl-asda/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;April&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34268710/uks-cheapest-supermarket-for-essentials/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;March&lt;/a&gt; this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  13618.  
  13619.  
  13620.

  13639. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consumer reporter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/samuel-walker/&quot;&gt;Sam Walker&lt;/a&gt; reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13640. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Odd boxes&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price. &lt;/p&gt;
  13641. &lt;p&gt;Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/17581296/lidl-veg-box-retail/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;its Waste Not scheme&lt;/a&gt; while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.&lt;/p&gt;
  13642. &lt;p&gt;Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s also sells £2 &amp;#8220;Taste Me, Don&amp;#8217;t Waste Me&amp;#8221; fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.&lt;/p&gt;
  13643. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Food waste apps&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.&lt;/p&gt;
  13644. &lt;p&gt;Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.&lt;/p&gt;
  13645. &lt;p&gt;Too Good to Go&amp;#8217;s app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.&lt;/p&gt;
  13646. &lt;p&gt;Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.&lt;/p&gt;
  13647. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yellow sticker bargains&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.&lt;/p&gt;
  13648. &lt;p&gt;But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30106289/times-yellow-sticker-bargains-biggest-supermarkets-prices/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;You can see the best times for each supermarket here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13649. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Super cheap bargains&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they&amp;#8217;ve found on the cheap, including food finds.&lt;/p&gt;
  13650. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;Downshift&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; you will almost always save money going for a supermarket&amp;#8217;s own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.&lt;/p&gt;
  13651. &lt;p&gt;The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as &amp;#8220;downshifting&amp;#8221; and hailed by consumer expert &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/martin-lewis/&quot;&gt;Martin Lewis&lt;/a&gt;, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  13652. &lt;/div&gt;

  13690. &lt;p&gt;THE full list of firms offering a four-day week has been revealed, as experts hail &amp;#8220;there is no turning back.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13691.  
  13692.  
  13693.  
  13694. &lt;p&gt;Since April 2024, workers have a right to ask for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27170055/huge-change-flexible-hours-rules-millions-workers/&quot;&gt;flexible work&lt;/a&gt; but firms do not have to&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30186851/labour-four-day-working-week-plan-eligibility/&quot;&gt; agree&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13699.  
  13700.  
  13701.  
  13702. &lt;p&gt;As of July 2025, over 230 companies across the UK offer&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35166041/500-firms-underpaid-workers-minimum-wage-refund/&quot;&gt; employees &lt;/a&gt;the chance to work a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/18794861/work-four-day-week-full-pay/&quot;&gt;shorter week&lt;/a&gt;, according to research by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32516441/full-list-companies-working-four-day-weeks-pay/&quot;&gt;4 Day Week Foundation.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13703.  
  13704.  
  13705.  
  13706. &lt;p&gt;This is an increase of 35 more firms, compared to previous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32516441/full-list-companies-working-four-day-weeks-pay/&quot;&gt;research &lt;/a&gt;carried out at the end of last year. &lt;/p&gt;
  13707.  
  13708.  
  13709.  
  13710. &lt;p&gt;The organisation recently concluded its latest pilot with a 100% success rate. &lt;/p&gt;
  13711.  
  13712.  
  13713.  
  13714. &lt;p&gt;The six-month trial began last November and 17 companies took part in the study. &lt;/p&gt;
  13715.  
  13716.  
  13717.  
  13718. &lt;p&gt;Alan Brunt, chief executive of Bron Afon Community Housing with 420 staff, who are extending their pilot further, said: “Almost as soon as we started talking about it, our teams got together to set about making it work which was brilliant.&lt;/p&gt;
  13719.  
  13720.  
  13721.  
  13722. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve closely monitored our performance and customer satisfaction. We’re happy with the results so far and will continue to make sure we’re delivering for our customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  13723.  
  13724.  
  13725.  
  13726. &lt;p&gt;“I expect that most organisations will be doing this in the &lt;span id=&quot;5177c5bb-e40b-43c8-ba1f-fa6208bd59e0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; 10 years or so.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13727.  
  13728.  
  13729.  
  13730. &lt;p&gt;The full list of 17 firms who have chosen to carry out a four day work week has not been published yet. &lt;/p&gt;
  13731.  
  13732.  
  13733.  
  13734. &lt;p&gt;Almost two-thirds of workers who took part in the trial registered a reduction in how often they experienced &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/21450716/major-four-day-week-change-stress/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CAcross%20a%20wide%20variety%20of,hospitality%2C%20marketing%2C%20and%20healthcare.&quot;&gt;burnout&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13735.  
  13736.  
  13737.  
  13738. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, two in five found an improvement in their mental &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; and almost half said they felt more satisfied with life.&lt;/p&gt;

  13763.  
  13764.  
  13765.  
  13766. &lt;p&gt;Joe Ryle, campaign director of the 4&amp;nbsp;Day&amp;nbsp;Week&amp;nbsp;Foundation, said the work model should now be implemented &amp;#8220;more widely across the economy&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  13767.  
  13768.  
  13769.  
  13770. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;With greater knowledge, expertise and experience of what it takes to successfully implement a&amp;nbsp;four-day&amp;nbsp;week, we’re really pleased to see such a high success rate.&lt;/p&gt;
  13771.

  13781.  
  13782. &lt;p&gt;Currently, 234 companies offer a&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/17504665/four-day-work-week-companies-employees/&quot;&gt; four day working week &lt;/a&gt;to their staff with no loss of pay.&lt;/p&gt;

  14724. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;FLEXIBLE WORKING RIGHTS&lt;/h2&gt;
  14725.  
  14726.  
  14727.  
  14728. &lt;p&gt;All employees have the legal right to request &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30498980/amazon-staff-office-work/&quot;&gt;flexible working&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  14729.  
  14730.  
  14731.  
  14732. &lt;p&gt;Employees can request a change to the number of hours they work, when they start or finish work, the days they work and where they work. &lt;/p&gt;
  14733.  
  14734.  
  14735.  
  14736. &lt;p&gt;If you submit a request, it does not mean it will be accepted by your employer. &lt;/p&gt;
  14737.  
  14738.  
  14739.  
  14740. &lt;p&gt;However, &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/employment/&quot;&gt;employers&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;must explain why they deny their workers more flexible hours.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14741.  
  14742.  
  14743.  
  14744. &lt;p&gt;Up until last year employers could deny any request for flexible working without needing to provide an explanation.&lt;/p&gt;
  14745.  
  14746.  
  14747.  
  14748. &lt;p&gt;Plus, millions of workers are now able to request flexible working from the first day of a new job.&lt;/p&gt;
  14749.  
  14750.  
  14751.  
  14752. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  14753. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  14754. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;HOW CAN I ASK MY BOSS FOR FLEXIBLE WORK&lt;/h3&gt;
  14755. &lt;/div&gt;
  14756. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  14759. &lt;div&gt;
  14760. &lt;p&gt;To make an official request you will need to fill out a statutory application which can be found on the government website and send this to your employer.&lt;/p&gt;
  14761. &lt;p&gt;If your boss is not keen on letting you exercise your flexible working arrangements, here are a few tips on how to ask for the benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
  14762. &lt;p&gt;Although it is no longer a legal requirement, it may be a good idea to explain to your employer how flexible working will affect their business.&lt;/p&gt;
  14763. &lt;p&gt;If you can prove you can complete your required work on time and to the best of your ability whilst working flexibly it&amp;#8217;s much less stressful for the employer.&lt;/p&gt;
  14764. &lt;p&gt;Explain how flexible working will benefit your physical, mental and social health.&lt;/p&gt;
  14765. &lt;p&gt;Give as much notice of your need for flexible working as possible, even if this is from the first day.&lt;/p&gt;
  14766. &lt;p&gt;If your request requires you to work fewer hours, this gives the employer enough time to hire another staff member or find alternative means of covering the work.&lt;/p&gt;
  14767. &lt;p&gt;Employers must deal with requests in a “reasonable manner” Examples include:&lt;/p&gt;
  14768. &lt;ul&gt;
  14769. &lt;li&gt;Assessing the advantages and disadvantages of the application&lt;/li&gt;
  14770. &lt;li&gt;Discussing possible alternatives to the request&lt;/li&gt;
  14771. &lt;li&gt;Offering an appeal process&lt;/li&gt;
  14772. &lt;/ul&gt;
  14773. &lt;p&gt;Reasons why your flexible working request could be rejected:&lt;/p&gt;
  14774. &lt;ul&gt;
  14775. &lt;li&gt;Costing the business too much&lt;/li&gt;
  14776. &lt;li&gt;A negative effect on performance and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  14777. &lt;li&gt;The company being unable to hire more team members&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  14778. &lt;/ul&gt;
  14779. &lt;/div&gt;
  14780. &lt;/div&gt;
  14781. &lt;/div&gt;
  14783.  
  14784.  
  14785.

  14834. &lt;p&gt;TERRIFYING footage shows the moment a man stalked his wife around their home with a bow and arrow before stabbing her.&lt;/p&gt;
  14835.  
  14836.  
  14837.  
  14838. &lt;p&gt;Keen archer Stephen Carr, 57, picked up the compound bow he had previously used in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/competitions/&quot;&gt;competitions&lt;/a&gt; after telling his wife Lorna &amp;#8220;you are dying tonight&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14851.  
  14852.  
  14853.  
  14854. &lt;p&gt;He picked up the weapon to shoot metal-tipped arrows at Lorna at their home in Strensall, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/north-yorkshire/&quot;&gt;North Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14855.  
  14856.  
  14857.  
  14858. &lt;p&gt;Carr then stabbed her six times with a kitchen knife while she was on the phone with emergency services.&lt;/p&gt;
  14859.  
  14860.  
  14861.  
  14862. &lt;p&gt;He was jailed for 20 years after unleashing the “terrifying and frenzied” attack using a bow and arrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  14863.  
  14864.  
  14865.  
  14866. &lt;p&gt;Cameras installed at the couple’s to assist in the care of the defendant’s elderly mother recorded parts of the attack on the night of September 8 last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  14867.  
  14868.  
  14869.  
  14870. &lt;p&gt;Now footage released by cops shows Carr stalking his wife around their house with the weapon before he is seen coolly picking up a knife from the kitchen drawers.&lt;/p&gt;
  14871.  
  14872.  
  14873.  
  14874. &lt;p&gt;Jurors previously heard Carr told her “you are dying tonight” before he pointed the bow at her and fired three arrows in her direction after he had downed a litre of vodka.&lt;/p&gt;
  14875.  
  14876.  
  14877.  
  14878. &lt;p&gt;The argument was sparked over the “concerns and stresses of caring for the defendant’s mother” who lived with them at the time, prosecutor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/angus-macdonald/&quot;&gt;Angus MacDonald&lt;/a&gt; told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/leeds/&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt; Crown Court on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  14879.  
  14880.  
  14881.  
  14882. &lt;p&gt;But 57-year-old Carr denied intending to kill his wife and claimed he “blacked out”.&lt;/p&gt;
  14883.  
  14884.  
  14885.  
  14886. &lt;p&gt;However, a jury convicted him of attempted murder following a trial at the same court last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  14887.  
  14888.  
  14889.  
  14890. &lt;p&gt;Judge Simon Phillips, sentencing, told the defendant: “During the course of the trial, the jury heard, and to some extent saw, clear evidence that you were intent on killing your wife Lorna.&lt;/p&gt;

  14914. &lt;p&gt;“Your anger towards your wife increased that Sunday night. She tried unsuccessfully to calm you down.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14915.  
  14916.  
  14917.  
  14918. &lt;p&gt;The court was told the bow was a “heavy and powerful compound bow” which shot metal arrows at a speed of 270 feet per second, which “could cause serious injuries and even death” if used against a person.&lt;/p&gt;
  14919.  
  14920.  
  14921.  
  14922. &lt;p&gt;Mrs Carr managed to dodge the arrow by closing the door, and the arrowhead lodged itself in it “a split second” after she had been in the doorway, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  14923.  
  14924.  
  14925.  
  14926. &lt;p&gt;Mrs Carr tried to stop the defendant from using the bow again by attempting to cut the strings with a kitchen knife.&lt;/p&gt;
  14927.  
  14928.  
  14929.  
  14930. &lt;p&gt;“You threatened to ‘go mental’ if she did that,” Judge Phillips told the defendant Carr.&lt;/p&gt;
  14931.  
  14932.  
  14933.  
  14934. &lt;p&gt;“You had reloaded your bow and pointed it at her and she says: ‘Do you want murder and blood on your hands?’.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14935.  
  14936.  
  14937.  
  14938. &lt;p&gt;The defendant then pursued Mrs Carr inside the house where she had sought refuge, struck her on the face with the bow, and said “You are dying tonight”, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  14939.  
  14940.  
  14941.  
  14942. &lt;p&gt;Mrs Carr then made a 999 call from the bedroom where the defendant cornered her and shot three arrows.&lt;/p&gt;
  14943.  
  14944.  
  14945.  
  14946. &lt;p&gt;The court heard the arrows missed Mrs Carr, but the defendant went on to stab her six times in the back with a kitchen knife whilst she was on the line with a 999 call operator.&lt;/p&gt;
  14947.

  14955.  
  14956.  
  14957.  
  14958. &lt;p&gt;She was recorded begging for her life and telling the call operator: “He’s got a bow, he’s got a compound bow… Don’t kill me Steve please. Do not kill me you c***. Please! Think of your mum”, a spokesperson for North &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/yorkshire/&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14959.  
  14960.  
  14961.  
  14962. &lt;p&gt;“This was a terrifying, frenzied and sustained attack”, the judge said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14963.  
  14964.  
  14965.  
  14966. &lt;p&gt;After the stabbing, Carr retreated to the garden shed on his property where police arrested him while Mrs Carr received medical care, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  14967.  
  14968.  
  14969.  
  14970. &lt;p&gt;She was taken to hospital for treatment to 10 wounds, including six to her upper back, as well as swelling and bruising to her forehead, shoulders and arms.&lt;/p&gt;
  14971.  
  14972.  
  14973.  
  14974. &lt;p&gt;She was discharged three days later and has since made a full recovery, the court was told.&lt;/p&gt;
  14975.  
  14976.  
  14977.  
  14978. &lt;p&gt;According to police, Carr sent a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/whatsapp/&quot;&gt;WhatsApp&lt;/a&gt; message to his wife after the assault in which he said: “I’m glad I didn’t do what I wanted to do. I did say you were pushing me to far (sic). My bag (sic) sorry.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14979.  
  14980.  
  14981.  
  14982. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;FRENZIED ATTACK&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  14983.  
  14984.  
  14985.  
  14986. &lt;p&gt;During the trial, Carr claimed he “blacked out” and does not recall stabbing his wife, adding that he felt she was “controlling him”, a spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14987.  
  14988.  
  14989.  
  14990. &lt;p&gt;His defence lawyer, Gulam Ahmed, told the judge Carr had not displayed abusive or violent behaviour towards his wife prior to the attack, adding: “For a short period Mr Carr certainly lost it, and it is without the background of any abuse, without the background of any violence.&lt;/p&gt;
  14991.  
  14992.  
  14993.  
  14994. &lt;p&gt;“This was out of character and a one-off.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14995.  
  14996.  
  14997.  
  14998. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Carr was “heavily intoxicated” throughout the incident which the judge said he took into account as an aggravating factor.&lt;/p&gt;
  14999.  
  15000.  
  15001.  
  15002. &lt;p&gt;Carr received a sentence of 17 years’ imprisonment with an extended licence of three years, bringing his total custodial sentence to 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  15003.  
  15004.  
  15005.  
  15006. &lt;p&gt;Despite the ordeal, Lorna declined to apply for a restraining order and told the court she wished to resume their relationship, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  15007.  
  15008.  
  15009.  
  15010. &lt;p&gt;Lorna wrote a letter to the court describing him as a &amp;#8220;caring, compassionate man&amp;#8221; who helped care for his beloved mum Betty.&lt;/p&gt;
  15011.  
  15012.  
  15013.  
  15014. &lt;p&gt;She said he had &amp;#8220;never been controlling or violent towards her&amp;#8221; until the night of the event, when he was a &amp;#8220;broken man&amp;#8221; and said she has forgiven him for the attack. &lt;/p&gt;
  15015.  
  15016.  
  15017.  
  15018. &lt;p&gt;Lorna added that she trusted he would never hurt her again, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  15019.  
  15020.  
  15021.

  15028. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  15029. DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence. &lt;/p&gt;
  15031. &lt;div&gt;
  15032. &lt;p&gt;Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship:&lt;/p&gt;
  15033. &lt;ul&gt;
  15034. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Emotional abuse&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse &amp;#8211; gaslighting &amp;#8211; being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to&lt;/li&gt;
  15035. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Threats and intimidation&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you &lt;/li&gt;
  15036. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Physical abuse&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten.&lt;/li&gt;
  15037. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sexual abuse&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent.&lt;/li&gt;
  15038. &lt;/ul&gt;
  15039. &lt;p&gt;If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers:&lt;/p&gt;
  15040. &lt;ul&gt;
  15041. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Freephone National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by Refuge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;0808 2000 247&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;for free at any time, day or night&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  15042. &lt;li&gt;Men who are being abused can call Respect Men&amp;#8217;s Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mankind.org.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ManKind&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;0182 3334 244&lt;/li&gt;
  15043. &lt;li&gt;Those who identify as LGBT+ can ring &lt;a href=&quot;https://galop.org.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Galop&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;0800 999 5428&lt;/li&gt;
  15044. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are in immediate danger or fear for your life, always ring 999&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  15045. &lt;/ul&gt;
  15046. &lt;p&gt;Remember, you are not alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  15047. &lt;p&gt;1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;
  15048. &lt;p&gt;Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse.&lt;/p&gt;
  15049. &lt;/div&gt;
  15050. &lt;/div&gt;

  15087. &lt;p&gt;Stuart Kittow’s five-year-old should be coming here off a win but he was badly hampered when cruising along at Newbury last time. He had to settle for a neck second there and can make amends. This trip is ideal and we know he can win off this mark.&lt;/p&gt;

  15778. &lt;p&gt;GREGGS has warned that scorching weather in the UK is hitting sales — and could see its annual profits fall.&lt;/p&gt;
  15779.  
  15780.  
  15781.  
  15782. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/greggs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The bakery chain&lt;/a&gt; said last month’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/heatwave/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;blistering temperatures&lt;/a&gt; reduced footfall as fewer customers opted to eat out.&lt;/p&gt;
  15783.  
  15784.  
  15785.  
  15786. &lt;p&gt;While demand for cold drinks rose, overall sales slowed.&lt;/p&gt;
  15787.  
  15788.  
  15789.  
  15790. &lt;p&gt;Like-for-like sales grew 2.6 per cent in the first half of the year, but June’s hot spell dented consumer spending habits.&lt;/p&gt;
  15791.  
  15792.  
  15793.  
  15794. &lt;p&gt;Analysts had forecast profits of £198.5million for 2025, but the chain’s outlook has now dampened expectations.&lt;/p&gt;
  15795.  
  15796.  
  15797.  
  15798. &lt;p&gt;It now expects to be “modestly” lower than 2024’s £195.3million.&lt;/p&gt;
  15799.  
  15800.  
  15801.  
  15802. &lt;p&gt;The firm’s shares fell almost 15 per cent to 1,682p following the update — and have dropped around 38 per cent so far this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15803.  
  15804.  
  15805.  
  15806. &lt;p&gt;Despite its challenges, the company reported total sales of £1.03billion, up 6.9 per cent year-on-year for the first 26 weeks of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15807.  
  15808.  
  15809.  
  15810. &lt;p&gt;Greggs expects operating profit in the first half of 2025 to be lower than last year, due partly to the timing of store refurbishments and cost-saving measures.&lt;/p&gt;
  15811.  
  15812.  
  15813.  
  15814. &lt;p&gt;It has opened 87 shops and closed 56 so far this year, bringing its total to 2,649 across the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  15815.  
  15816.  
  15817.  
  15818. &lt;p&gt;This includes 2,085 company-managed shops and 564 franchised outlets.&lt;/p&gt;
  15819.  
  15820.  
  15821.  
  15822. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34203873/food-prices-rose-inflation-business/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;food prices in Britain rose&lt;/a&gt; by 3.7 per cent last month, compared with 2.8 per cent in May, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/british-retail-consortium/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;British Retail Consortium&lt;/a&gt;-NIQ Shop Price Index said.&lt;/p&gt;

  15859. &lt;p&gt;Boss Pascal Soriot has spoken privately of frustrations with the UK business climate and hinted at relocating its listing and HQ.&lt;/p&gt;
  15860. &lt;p&gt;This year the pharmaceutical firm axed a £450million investment in a UK vaccine plant due to reduced Government support.&lt;/p&gt;

  15870.  
  15871.  
  15872.  
  15873. &lt;p&gt;COMPLAINTS to the Financial Ombudsman are at their highest since the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30228549/what-is-ppi-and-did-i-have-it/#:~:text=In%20some%20cases%2C%20lenders%20lied,in%20compensation%20to%20their%20customers.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;PPI scandal&lt;/a&gt; more than a decade ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  15874.  
  15875.  
  15876.  
  15877. &lt;p&gt;Over 305,000 were lodged between April 2024 and March 2025, a 54 per cent jump from the previous year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15878.

  15901. &lt;p&gt;LABOUR’S plan to cap branded school uniforms could push up costs, experts warn.&lt;/p&gt;
  15902. &lt;p&gt;The Government plans to limit items to three per pupil, plus a tie for secondary students.&lt;/p&gt;
  15903. &lt;p&gt;But more than half of retailers say the policy could mean fewer discounts for low-income families, or even staff layoffs.&lt;/p&gt;
  15904. &lt;p&gt;The Schoolwear Association said: “It will drive up costs in the long run. We’re calling for a limit of five items plus a tie.”&lt;/p&gt;

  15998. &lt;p&gt;Manufacturers blamed cost, ever- tightening regulations adding even more cost, and the trend for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/32479415/full-list-of-top-selling-hybrid-cars-facing-ban/&quot;&gt;pumped-up crossovers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15999.  
  16000.  
  16001.  
  16002. &lt;p&gt;Now everything is about to go full circle and I’m here for it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16003.  
  16004.  
  16005.  
  16006. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/renault/&quot;&gt;Renault&lt;/a&gt; will unveil an all-new Clio petrol hybrid shortly. &lt;/p&gt;
  16007.  
  16008.  
  16009.  
  16010. &lt;p&gt;To sit alongside the gorgeous battery-powered 5.&lt;/p&gt;
  16011.  
  16012.  
  16013.  
  16014. &lt;p&gt;Then the titchy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/32822815/renault-twingo-roads-car-motors/&quot;&gt;Twingo&lt;/a&gt; returns as a £17K EV late next year.&lt;/p&gt;
  16015.  
  16016.  
  16017.  
  16018. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/volkswagen/&quot;&gt;Volkswagen&lt;/a&gt; is to update Polo with a mild hybrid petrol engine – so it’ll be around for much longer. Ditto Seat and Ibiza.&lt;/p&gt;
  16019.  
  16020.  
  16021.  
  16022. &lt;p&gt;Then VW will roll out a family of urban &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/electric-cars/&quot;&gt;EV&lt;/a&gt;s previewed by the ID2 and ID1 concepts. &lt;/p&gt;
  16023.  
  16024.  
  16025.  
  16026. &lt;p&gt;ID2 will be badged ID Polo by the time it hits showrooms next summer priced from £22k – and ID1 will become Up! in 2027, costing about £17k.&lt;/p&gt;
  16027.  
  16028.  
  16029.  
  16030. &lt;p&gt;Vauxhall already flogs Corsa in both power types and we’ll see the next one in a month or two.&lt;/p&gt;

  16053.  
  16054. &lt;p&gt;Fiat has the brilliant 500 and box-fresh &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/33218456/fiat-panda-grande-motors-review/&quot;&gt;Grande Panda&lt;/a&gt; and there’s a smaller Panda city car in the pipeline. &lt;/p&gt;
  16055.  
  16056.  
  16057.  
  16058. &lt;p&gt;We recently tested &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/35368508/byd-dolphin-surf-review-test/&quot;&gt;BYD’s £19k Dolphin Surf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16059.  
  16060.  
  16061.  
  16062. &lt;p&gt;Lots of small, simple starter cars for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  16063.  
  16064.  
  16065.  
  16066. &lt;p&gt;Now we come to the red car you see here. Nissan Micra. &lt;/p&gt;
  16067.  
  16068.  
  16069.  
  16070. &lt;p&gt;Another household name rebooted for the electric age.&lt;/p&gt;
  16071.  
  16072.  
  16073.  
  16074. &lt;p&gt;Basically, Micra is a reskinned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/26228129/renault-5-ev-supermini-reinvented-electric/&quot;&gt;Renault 5&lt;/a&gt; – built by Renault at the R5 factory – using the same menu of batteries, e-motors, suspension and electronics.&lt;/p&gt;
  16075.  
  16076.  
  16077.  
  16078. &lt;p&gt;So it drives like an R5. Feels like an R5. Goes as far as an R5. &lt;/p&gt;
  16079.  
  16080.  
  16081.  
  16082. &lt;p&gt;Which is fine by me. Because the R5 is a peach.&lt;/p&gt;
  16083.  
  16084.  
  16085.  
  16086. &lt;p&gt;So your choice is purely down to looks. &lt;/p&gt;
  16087.  
  16088.  
  16089.  
  16090. &lt;p&gt;Whether you prefer the retro codes of the R5 or the cheery puppy-eyed Micra. &lt;/p&gt;
  16091.  
  16092.  
  16093.  
  16094. &lt;p&gt;Those Micra lights “wink” at you when you unlock the car.&lt;/p&gt;
  16095.  
  16096.  
  16097.  
  16098. &lt;p&gt;That thick stripe down the waistline is what Nissan’s London designers call the “ice cream scoop”. &lt;/p&gt;
  16099.  
  16100.  
  16101.  
  16102. &lt;p&gt;Like dragging a spoon across the surface of untouched ice cream.&lt;/p&gt;
  16103.  
  16104.  
  16105.  
  16106. &lt;p&gt;Yeah, whatever. It’s a million miles better than the vanilla Micras of old.&lt;/p&gt;
  16107.  
  16108.  
  16109.  
  16110. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35655740&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/NINTCHDBPICT001006678165.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Man driving a car.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35655740&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;David Shepherd Photographer shep@Davidshepherdphotographer.com&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The Micra drives like an R5, feels like an R5 and goes as far as an R5[/caption]
  16111.  
  16112.  
  16113.  
  16114. &lt;p&gt;Other observations. They’ve printed Mount Fuji in the centre console and boot frame, a nod to the car’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/japan&quot;&gt;Japanese&lt;/a&gt; heritage. &lt;/p&gt;
  16115.  
  16116.  
  16117.  
  16118. &lt;p&gt;But they forgot to replace the French cockerel on the windscreen. Duh.&lt;/p&gt;
  16119.  
  16120.  
  16121.  
  16122. &lt;p&gt;Like the R5, Micra has a twin-screen dash, Google brain, reversing camera and one simple button to switch off all the beeps and bongs the law now demands.&lt;/p&gt;
  16123.  
  16124.  
  16125.  
  16126. &lt;p&gt;Unlike the R5, mid-spec Micras have steering wheel paddles to adjust the levels of braking regen. &lt;/p&gt;
  16127.  
  16128.  
  16129.  
  16130. &lt;p&gt;So it’s actually more fun to drive. &lt;/p&gt;
  16131.  
  16132.  
  16133.  
  16134. &lt;p&gt;The tech wasn’t ready before R5 hit the road. But it will get it soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  16135.  
  16136.  
  16137.  
  16138. &lt;p&gt;Nissan has also done another deal with Renault for a city car based on the upcoming Twingo.&lt;/p&gt;
  16139.  
  16140.  
  16141.  
  16142. &lt;p&gt;Death of the small car? No, mate. &lt;/p&gt;
  16143.  
  16144.  
  16145.  
  16146. &lt;p&gt;There’s lots of good stuff just around the corner.&lt;/p&gt;

  16221.  
  16222. &lt;p&gt;Looks like a fashion fest.&lt;/p&gt;
  16223.  
  16224.  
  16225.  
  16226. &lt;p&gt;Abbey and Peter have been together for nearly 20 years, and married for 14.&lt;/p&gt;
  16227.  
  16228.  
  16229.  
  16230. &lt;p&gt;Together they share four children: Sophia, Liberty, Johnny, and Jack.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16231.  
  16232.  
  16233.  
  16234. &lt;p&gt;They host podcast The Therapy Crouch, where they get honest about married life and everything in between with their followers and listeners.&lt;/p&gt;
  16235.  
  16236.  
  16237.  
  16238. &lt;p&gt;In an interview with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ok.co.uk/celebrity-news/abbey-clancy-brands-peter-crouch-34810845&quot;&gt;OK!&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;back in March, Abbey spoke about her husband and their&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16239.  
  16240.  
  16241.  
  16242. &lt;p&gt;Swooning over her life with her hubby, Abbey also&amp;nbsp;insisted she &amp;#8220;doesn&amp;#8217;t need space&amp;#8221; from him.&lt;/p&gt;
  16243.  
  16244.  
  16245.  
  16246. &lt;p&gt;However, on an episode of their podcast, Abbey jokingly mentioned how they both&amp;nbsp;enjoy their own hobbies,&amp;nbsp;and lived &amp;#8220;seperate lives&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16247.  
  16248.  
  16249.  
  16250. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t think there&amp;#8217;s anything wrong with that [having their own hobbies and spending time apart].&lt;/p&gt;
  16251.  
  16252.  
  16253.  
  16254. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Like, not every day, because we need to do stuff together as well.&lt;/p&gt;

  16314.  
  16315. &lt;p&gt;DARTS champ Luke Littler plans to become a sporting icon in the US, documents reveal.&lt;/p&gt;
  16316.  
  16317.  
  16318.  
  16319. &lt;p&gt;The 18-year-old has applied to have his name and nickname The Nuke trademarked in America.&lt;/p&gt;
  16320.  
  16321.  
  16322.  
  16323. &lt;p&gt;He has filed documents with the US Patent and Trademark Office for protection to sell goods such as clothes, sporting goods, luggage, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/books/&quot;&gt;books&lt;/a&gt;, and even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;food and drink&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16324.  
  16325.  
  16326.  
  16327. &lt;p&gt;He is already a millionaire after shooting to fame at 16 as runner-up in the 2024 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pdc-world-darts-championship/&quot;&gt;World Darts Championship.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16328.  
  16329.  
  16330.  
  16331. &lt;p&gt;He then won the title in January.&lt;/p&gt;
  16332.  
  16333.  
  16334.  
  16335. &lt;p&gt;His latest move will prevent bootleggers from using his moniker and cashing in on his fame.&lt;/p&gt;
  16336.  
  16337.  
  16338.  
  16339. &lt;p&gt;One expert told us: “It grants the owner exclusive rights.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16340.  
  16341.  
  16342.  
  16343. &lt;p&gt;The Warrington-born whiz kid already has similar trademark protection in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  16344.  
  16345.  
  16346.  
  16347. &lt;p&gt;Luke has been in the States in recent days.&lt;/p&gt;
  16348.  
  16349.  
  16350.  
  16351. &lt;p&gt;He was among the headline attractions at the iconic Madison Square Garden in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-york/&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; last weekend as the world’s top players went Stateside for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35444458/us-darts-masters-2025-schedule-results-free-live-stream-tv/&quot;&gt;US Darts Masters.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16352.  
  16353.  
  16354.  
  16355. &lt;p&gt;However, his campaign ended at the quarter-final stage by his good friend and stablemate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35558411/nathan-aspinall-darts-terrified-influencer-apple-video/&quot;&gt;Nathan Aspinall&lt;/a&gt;, who triumphed 6-4 against the teenager.&lt;/p&gt;

  16402.  
  16403. &lt;p&gt;A MAN who sexually abused and performed a sex act next to horses at stables before he was caught on CCTV has avoided jail.&lt;/p&gt;
  16404.  
  16405.  
  16406.  
  16407. &lt;p&gt;Corey Coleman, 26, accepted he had an &amp;#8220;unhealthy interest&amp;#8221; in horses after footage revealed his various disturbing acts on the animals.&lt;/p&gt;
  16408.  
  16409.

  16416.  
  16417.  
  16418.  
  16419. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35673653&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/C.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Black horse in a stall.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35673653&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;534&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;rspca&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Bear was also one of three horses Coleman abused[/caption]
  16420.  
  16421.  
  16422.  
  16423. &lt;p&gt;Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates&amp;#8217; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; heard how Coleman, from Llanharan, regularly volunteered in helping look after the horses at the Ynyscrug livery yard.&lt;/p&gt;
  16424.  
  16425.  
  16426.  
  16427. &lt;p&gt;But on June 27 last year, he was found lying in a passageway between the stables with &amp;#8220;serious injuries&amp;#8221; to his back.&lt;/p&gt;
  16428.  
  16429.  
  16430.  
  16431. &lt;p&gt;Coleman was hospitalised with spinal fractures and was given a back brace &amp;#8211; but was &amp;#8220;back at the stables&amp;#8221; not long after, RSPCA prosecutor Geraint Richards said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16432.  
  16433.  
  16434.  
  16435. &lt;p&gt;The owner of the stables, Alex Hill, questioned Coleman as to how he got the injury, to which he said one of the horses attempted to mount him.&lt;/p&gt;
  16436.  
  16437.  
  16438.  
  16439. &lt;p&gt;Mr Hill then decided to look at the CCTV, which &amp;#8220;concerned him enough to look deeper into it,&amp;#8221; Mr Richards said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16440.  
  16441.  
  16442.  
  16443. &lt;p&gt;When Mr Hill checked the footage from Coleman&amp;#8217;s stables visits on July 15 and 29, he saw that he had been abusing horses.&lt;/p&gt;
  16444.  
  16445.  
  16446.  
  16447. &lt;p&gt;Coleman was captured &amp;#8220;teasing and arousing&amp;#8221; a horse, with the date he was injured showing a similar disturbing incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  16448.  
  16449.  
  16450.  
  16451. &lt;p&gt;After the yard&amp;#8217;s owner called cops, Coleman was then arrested and made an &amp;#8220;unsolicited&amp;#8221; comment to officers that his actions were &amp;#8220;part of the cleaning,&amp;#8221; the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  16452.  
  16453.  
  16454.  
  16455. &lt;p&gt;RSPCA prosecutor Mr Richards explained how the stables were &amp;#8220;quite busy&amp;#8221; and there were often &amp;#8220;children in the vicinity&amp;#8221; outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  16456.  
  16457.  
  16458.  
  16459. &lt;p&gt;He added that it was likely the abuse had occurred &amp;#8220;for many months&amp;#8221; due to the horses&amp;#8217; behaviour during the incidents that &amp;#8220;showed they had been conditioned to be used to this sort of attention&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  16482.  
  16483. &lt;p&gt;Daniel Maggs, defending, confessed it was a &amp;#8220;very unusual case&amp;#8221; and added that Coleman struggled to discuss the heinous incidents because of his &amp;#8220;embarrassment&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16484.  
  16485.  
  16486.  
  16487. &lt;p&gt;He also said his client already endured an &amp;#8220;element of instant karma&amp;#8221; after his injuries and accepted he had &amp;#8220;an unhealthy interest&amp;#8221; in stallions.&lt;/p&gt;
  16488.  
  16489.  
  16490.  
  16491. &lt;p&gt; Coleman had been involved in an equine events organisation but had obviously &amp;#8220;destroyed any &lt;span id=&quot;16f4d252-eb60-47ed-86e7-979aaaae1e52&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; career of that nature&amp;#8221; and was now receiving counselling.&lt;/p&gt;
  16492.  
  16493.  
  16494.  
  16495. &lt;p&gt;The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a bay stallion named Bear and a palomino stallion named Benny by sexually abusing them.&lt;/p&gt;
  16496.  
  16497.  
  16498.  
  16499. &lt;p&gt;He also pleaded guilty to failing to ensure the welfare of the same stallions and failing to ensure the welfare of a bay mare named Nala who was exposed to the risk of injury from the stallions.&lt;/p&gt;
  16500.  
  16501.  
  16502.  
  16503. &lt;p&gt;The court heard how there are two &lt;span id=&quot;ce91d580-fed7-4bbc-97e2-28d09ec46b10&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dogs&lt;/span&gt; and two cats at Coleman&amp;#8217;s main place of residency &amp;#8211; his girlfriend of nine years&amp;#8217;s home &amp;#8211; and two dogs at his mum&amp;#8217;s where he stays &amp;#8220;from time to time&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16504.  
  16505.  
  16506.  
  16507. &lt;p&gt;Coleman&amp;#8217;s solicitor Mr Maggs said it was be &amp;#8220;fair to say&amp;#8221; his relationship is now &amp;#8220;on the rocks&amp;#8221; due to the shocking discoveries.&lt;/p&gt;
  16508.  
  16509.  
  16510.  
  16511. &lt;p&gt;Coleman was also disqualified from owning, keeping or transporting horses, or participating in their keeping for half a decade and ordered to pay costs of £474.&lt;/p&gt;

  16637. &lt;p&gt;EMOJIS can improve your relationships as they make you seem more emotionally involved, scientists say.&lt;/p&gt;
  16638.  
  16639.  
  16640.  
  16641. &lt;p&gt;A study found people rated their partners as more attentive if they used the icons in messages.&lt;/p&gt;
  16642.  
  16643.  
  16644.

  16646.  
  16647.  
  16648.  
  16649. &lt;p&gt;We are most fond of the “crying laughing face” emoji, but researchers claim it does not appear to matter which symbol senders use.&lt;/p&gt;
  16650.  
  16651.  
  16652.  
  16653. &lt;p&gt;Even icons without a face or emotion, such as fire, were found to be linked to higher &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/relationship-advice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;relationship &lt;/a&gt;satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;
  16654.  
  16655.  
  16656.  
  16657. &lt;p&gt;Study author and PhD student Eun Huh, at the University of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/texas/&quot;&gt;Texas&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/austin/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Austin&lt;/a&gt;, said: “The study revealed that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/emojis/&quot;&gt;emojis&lt;/a&gt; signal emotional attentiveness.&lt;/p&gt;
  16658.  
  16659.  
  16660.  
  16661. &lt;p&gt;“Interestingly, it’s not the type of emoji but simply their presence that makes people feel closer to a partner.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16662.  
  16663.  
  16664.  
  16665. &lt;p&gt;The study questioned 260 people, aged between 23 and 67. &lt;/p&gt;
  16666.  
  16667.  
  16668.  
  16669. &lt;p&gt;They were shown 15 text exchanges, then asked to imagine the other sender was their partner and rate their responses.&lt;/p&gt;
  16670.  
  16671.  
  16672.  
  16673. &lt;p&gt;People scored as more engaged and responsive to emotions in chats that contained emojis.&lt;/p&gt;
  16674.  
  16675.  
  16676.  
  16677. &lt;p&gt;Ms Huh said: “Emojis help recipients clarify ambiguous messages.&lt;/p&gt;
  16678.  
  16679.  
  16680.  
  16681. &lt;p&gt;“Given that the human brain can recognise images in just 13 milliseconds, they are a quick yet effective communication tool.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16682.  
  16683.  
  16684.  
  16685. &lt;p&gt;But Ms Huh warned: “It is important to note that emojis do not always have a positive effect.&lt;/p&gt;

  16744.  
  16745.  
  16746.  
  16747. &lt;p&gt;One savvy shopper spotted four-packs of microfibre cloths on sale for the bargain price.&lt;/p&gt;
  16748.  
  16749.  
  16750.

  16752.  
  16753.  
  16754.  
  16755. &lt;p&gt;The four-pack of Simply Everyday Microfibre Cloths is going for just 10p in stores and with the &lt;span id=&quot;533a701d-0a67-4da9-b254-f80bb2494cca&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;B&amp;amp;M&lt;/span&gt; app, while the same item costs £1 online. &lt;/p&gt;
  16756.  
  16757.  
  16758.  
  16759. &lt;p&gt;One shopper shared the deal on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16nCrEREwd/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;writing&lt;/a&gt;: “Microfibre cloths 10p. B&amp;amp;M Kempshott Basingstoke.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16760.  
  16761.  
  16762.  
  16763. &lt;p&gt;Another shopper replied in the comments: &amp;#8220;Get the B&amp;amp;M app on your phone &amp;#8211; you don&amp;#8217;t have to sign up with all your details. &lt;/p&gt;
  16764.  
  16765.  
  16766.  
  16767. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Download the app and literally just use the scanning barcode on the products in B&amp;amp;M. &lt;/p&gt;
  16768.  
  16769.  
  16770.  
  16771. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you scan the item, if it comes up &amp;#8216;item not found&amp;#8217; then that item is 10p.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16772.  
  16773.  
  16774.  
  16775. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, a shopper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35534341/bm-shoppers-rushing-get-bedroom-gadget-cables-obsolete/&quot;&gt;spotted a bargain Goodmans alarm clock&lt;/a&gt; with Qi wireless charging.&lt;/p&gt;
  16776.  
  16777.  
  16778.  
  16779. &lt;p&gt;They posted their find with the caption: “Happy with my 10p bargain.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16780.  
  16781.  
  16782.  
  16783. &lt;p&gt;The alarm clock had previously been slashed to £19.&lt;/p&gt;

  16816.  
  16817.  
  16818.  
  16819. &lt;p&gt;One savvy shopper spotted the 300ml Laylah Nusuk sprays at Home Bargains for just £2.29 and posted their find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; group. &lt;/p&gt;
  16820.  
  16821.  
  16822.  
  16823. &lt;p&gt;The air fresheners come in four variants: Arwa (blue), Oud Wood (black), Oud Romancia (red) and Haya (white). &lt;/p&gt;
  16824.  
  16825.  
  16826.  
  16827. &lt;p&gt;Fans say the scents are powerful and linger far longer than typical room sprays. &lt;/p&gt;
  16828.  
  16829.  
  16830.  
  16831. &lt;p&gt;“The only air freshener I’ve used where the smell actually stays – love them!” one shopper wrote. &lt;/p&gt;
  16832.  
  16833.  
  16834.  
  16835. &lt;p&gt;Another said: “The white one we got smells amazing and lasts forever.” &lt;/p&gt;

  16839. &lt;p&gt;One shopper even said: &amp;#8220;I think it smells like some of the place I visited whilst in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dubai/&quot;&gt;Dubai&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16840.  
  16841.  
  16842.  
  16843. &lt;p&gt;The Laylah sprays are imported from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uae/&quot;&gt;UAE&lt;/a&gt; and have developed a cult following in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

  16856. &lt;p&gt;Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.&lt;/p&gt;
  16857. &lt;p&gt;Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.&lt;/p&gt;
  16858. &lt;p&gt;Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.&lt;/p&gt;
  16859. &lt;p&gt;Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.&lt;/p&gt;
  16860. &lt;p&gt;Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.&lt;/p&gt;
  16861. &lt;p&gt;When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vouchercodes.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;vouchercodes.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://myvouchercodes.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;myvouchercodes.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.&lt;/p&gt;
  16862. &lt;p&gt;Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://trolley.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Trolley.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.&lt;/p&gt;
  16863. &lt;p&gt;Bargain hunters can also use B&amp;amp;M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.&lt;/p&gt;
  16864. &lt;p&gt;And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.&lt;/p&gt;
  16865. &lt;/div&gt;
  16866. &lt;/div&gt;
  16867. &lt;/div&gt;

  16916.  
  16917.

  16932.  
  16933.  
  16934.  
  16935. &lt;p&gt;Saxon formed in &lt;span id=&quot;47cbc360-2c50-4219-a8f8-27460054fb52&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Barnsley&lt;/span&gt; back in 1975 &amp;#8211; and adopted their current name three years later.&lt;/p&gt;

  16938.  
  16939. &lt;p&gt;Lead vocalist Biff Byford is set to undergo emergency surgery, which requires six weeks of recuperation.&lt;/p&gt;
  16940.  
  16941.  
  16942.  
  16943. &lt;p&gt;As a result of this, a string of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; performances have been cancelled.&lt;/p&gt;
  16944.  
  16945.  
  16946.  
  16947. &lt;p&gt;The affected dates are listed in full further down.&lt;/p&gt;
  16948.  
  16949.  
  16950.  
  16951. &lt;p&gt;The band&amp;#8217;s management said: &amp;#8220;Saxon were so looking forward to performing at all the below &lt;span id=&quot;a488f465-b355-4319-ad6f-39c315473a40&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Summer&lt;/span&gt; festivals and events, but the &lt;span id=&quot;d071aa6d-49e7-4ff0-9a1a-42cc835af80e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt; and well-being of the band obviously has to come first.&lt;/p&gt;
  16952.  
  16953.  
  16954.  
  16955. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It goes without saying that all in Saxon are gutted that they will be unable to perform but look forward to hopefully being back on stage in time to play both Trutnoff Open Air Festival in &lt;span id=&quot;902d1dfe-ca17-4dfa-ad9a-1b8185de3ddd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Czech Republic&lt;/span&gt; on August 23 and Neuborn Open Air on August 29.&lt;/p&gt;
  16956.  
  16957.  
  16958.  
  16959. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The band are also very much looking forward to their upcoming tours of both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spain/&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt; and the UK later this year too.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16960.  
  16961.  
  16962.  
  16963. &lt;p&gt;Continuing, the management relayed that Saxon are &amp;#8220;sorry for any inconvenience&amp;#8221; and ask for &amp;#8220;patience and understanding&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16964.  
  16965.  
  16966.  
  16967. &lt;p&gt;It means Saxon&amp;#8217;s Swedish club shows on July 24, 26 and 27 are cancelled altogether &amp;#8211; with fans advised to seek refunds.&lt;/p&gt;
  16968.  
  16969.  
  16970.  
  16971. &lt;p&gt;However, the band are working with ticket sellers in order to reschedule other affected dates.&lt;/p&gt;

  17073. &lt;p&gt;BLUNDERING BBC Sport confused fans by publishing the score of a match that had not yet happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  17074.  
  17075.  
  17076.  
  17077. &lt;p&gt;The broadcaster’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;X &lt;/a&gt;feed on Tuesday claimed Polish &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/iga-swiatek/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Iga Swiatek&lt;/a&gt; had beaten US ace &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35656182/tennis-iga-swiatek-wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Caty McNally&lt;/a&gt; 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 despite the match being scheduled for today.&lt;/p&gt;
  17078.  
  17079.  
  17080.  
  17081. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35672919&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/iga-swiatek-poland-shakes-hands-1006879913.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Iga Swiatek and Polina Kudermetova shaking hands at the net after a tennis match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35672919&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;646&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Polish Iga Swiatek won 7-5, 6-1 against Russian Polina Kudermetova[/caption]
  17082.  
  17083.  
  17084.  
  17085. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35672920&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/2025/07/2025-caty-mcnally-u-s-1006876593.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Caty McNally of the U.S. at Wimbledon.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35672920&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;682&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;US ace McNally defeated British hopeful Jodie Burrage[/caption]
  17086.  
  17087.  
  17088.  
  17089. &lt;p&gt;Swiatek actually won that day 7-5, 6-1 against Russian Polina Kudermetova. &lt;/p&gt;
  17090.  
  17091.  
  17092.  
  17093. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile McNally had defeated British hopeful &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35563185/jodie-burrage-net-barbora-krejcikova/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jodie Burrage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17094.  
  17095.  
  17096.  
  17097. &lt;p&gt;The incorrect post was only deleted yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  17098.  
  17099.  
  17100.  
  17101. &lt;p&gt;One fan joked: “Maybe the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; knows about the &lt;span id=&quot;18b25e65-3773-486d-b455-346f8dda85b9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; or something.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17102.  
  17103.  
  17104.  
  17105. &lt;p&gt;Another fan jibed: “Proof that tennis is scripted.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17106.  
  17107.  
  17108.  
  17109. &lt;p&gt;It sparked concerns the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; broadcaster is using &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/artificial-intelligence/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;AI &lt;/a&gt;to send match results, which it denied.&lt;/p&gt;
  17110.  
  17111.  
  17112.  
  17113. &lt;p&gt;A spokeswoman said: “We do not use AI to publish match results.&lt;/p&gt;
  17114.  
  17115.  
  17116.  
  17117. &lt;p&gt;“The incorrect graphic was the result of a technical error and was removed immediately once identified.”&lt;/p&gt;

  17232.

  17236.  
  17237.  
  17238.  
  17239. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35673605&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/ed9bjx-beccles-quay-1007137907.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Boats moored on a calm river.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35673605&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;638&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Police recovered the body of a teenager from Beccles Quay (stock)[/caption]

  17243. &lt;p&gt;The boy had entered the River Waveney with friends but had not resurfaced, said cops.&lt;/p&gt;
  17244.  
  17245.  
  17246.  
  17247. &lt;p&gt;A huge multi-agency search was launched to try and locate the teen involving &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/suffolk/&quot;&gt;Suffolk&lt;/a&gt; Police and other emergency services.&lt;/p&gt;

  17250.  
  17251. &lt;p&gt;But the body of a teenage boy was found and recovered from the water.&lt;/p&gt;
  17252.  
  17253.  
  17254.  
  17255. &lt;p&gt;The boy’s next of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kin/&quot;&gt;kin&lt;/a&gt; have been notified, Suffolk Police has said.&lt;/p&gt;

  17268.  
  17269.

  17492.  
  17493.

  17619. &lt;p&gt;BIG Brother legend Charley Uchea has revealed she was rushed to hospital after being “left for dead” following a nasty car smash.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  17636.  
  17637.  
  17638.  
  17639. &lt;p&gt;The TV star, who shot to fame on the eight series of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/big-brother/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Big Brother&lt;/a&gt; in 2007, also posted a clip showing her in hospital. &lt;/p&gt;
  17640.  
  17641.  
  17642.  
  17643. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Look at the damage this truck did just by hitting me, then leaves me [for] dead on the side of the road.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17644.  
  17645.  
  17646.  
  17647. &lt;p&gt;Iconic housemate Charley looked to be in a lot of pain as she showed off some nasty bruises on her face.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17648.  
  17649.  
  17650.  
  17651. &lt;p&gt;She added: “Bless my nurse brushing my hair out, I can’t really use my arms atm I’m so weak.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17652.  
  17653.  
  17654.  
  17655. &lt;p&gt;Charley series of Big Brother also starred other memorable housemates including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chanelle-hayes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chanelle Hayes&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1683623/big-brothers-brian-belo-is-backed-by-former-contestants-as-he-urges-bosses-to-take-better-care-of-housemates/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brian Belo&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  17656.  
  17657.  
  17658.  
  17659. &lt;p&gt;Feisty Charley quickly became known for her short temper during her time in the house and it seems she’s still as outspoken as ever.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17660.  
  17661.  
  17662.  
  17663. &lt;p&gt;In 2022, Charley was forced to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19409179/big-brother-icon-hits-back-bleaches-skin/&quot;&gt;hit back at claims&lt;/a&gt; she had been bleaching her skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  17664.  
  17665.  
  17666.  
  17667. &lt;p&gt;Shutting down her haters, the Instagram influencer wrote: “Apparently some silly mug is posting me on Twitter and it’s going viral about me bleaching my skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  17668.  
  17669.  
  17670.  
  17671. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Omg I was on holiday before BB so obviously I’ll be darker.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17672.  
  17673.  
  17674.  
  17675. &lt;p&gt;She then shared a picture of herself as a child and wrote: “So this is me, a spoilt brat when I was young with my dad.&lt;/p&gt;

  17732. &lt;p&gt;A SCHEME allowing benefit claimants to swap payments for new cars has been used by hundreds with drink issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  17733.  
  17734.  
  17735.  
  17736. &lt;p&gt;Figures show 770 people with alcohol-related problems lease &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cars/&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/a&gt; from the Motability &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17737.  
  17738.  
  17739.  
  17740. &lt;p&gt;Another 220 have drug misuse issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  17741.  
  17742.  
  17743.  
  17744. &lt;p&gt;Claimants must receive an enhanced rate for significant mobility difficulties in their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disability/&quot;&gt;disability&lt;/a&gt; benefit to qualify for the state-funded scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
  17745.  
  17746.  
  17747.  
  17748. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33884094/motability-scheme-corrupted-scammers/&quot;&gt;Motability came under fire&lt;/a&gt; recently as it emerged people online boasted of gaming the system to get new cars “basically free”.&lt;/p&gt;
  17749.  
  17750.  
  17751.  
  17752. &lt;p&gt;John O’Connell, at the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: &amp;#8220;Taxpayers will rightly question how alcohol misuse qualifies someone for a brand new car on the Motability scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
  17753.  
  17754.  
  17755.  
  17756. &lt;p&gt;“With nearly 6,000 people receiving enhanced PIP for alcohol dependency, it’s clear the system is in urgent need of reform.&lt;/p&gt;
  17757.  
  17758.  
  17759.  
  17760. &lt;p&gt;“The government must take a hard look at the criteria and amend it before this situation gets worse.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17761.  
  17762.  
  17763.  
  17764. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33884094/motability-scheme-corrupted-scammers/&quot;&gt;Motability&lt;/a&gt; said: “Anyone with an unspent drink-driving conviction cannot drive our vehicles.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17765.  
  17766.  
  17767.  
  17768. &lt;p&gt;Motability has grown rapidly since Covid and now buys every one in five new cars sold in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

  17815. &lt;p&gt;TENNIS power couple Stefanos &lt;strong&gt;Tsitsip&lt;/strong&gt;as and Paula Badosa have broken up, according to reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  17816.  
  17817.  
  17818.  
  17819. &lt;p&gt;It comes just a day after both suffered defeats in the opening round at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  17832.  
  17833.  
  17834.  
  17835. &lt;p&gt;Tsitsipas, 26, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28144991/french-open-tennis-stefanos-tsitsipas-paula-badosa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;began dating Badosa&lt;/a&gt;, 27, in May 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  17836.  
  17837.  
  17838.  
  17839. &lt;p&gt;They broke up for a matter of weeks last year before reconciling.&lt;/p&gt;
  17840.  
  17841.  
  17842.  
  17843. &lt;p&gt;But bombshell reports from Spanish magazine &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Hola (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.hola.com/actualidad/20250702841694/paula-badosa-y-tsitsipas-confirmacion-ruptura/?utm_campaign=hola&amp;amp;utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_source=twitter&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Hola&lt;/a&gt; say they have now split up again.&lt;/p&gt;
  17844.  
  17845.  
  17846.  
  17847. &lt;p&gt;Tsitsipas and Badosa have also unfollowed each other on Instagram and posts of them together have been deleted.&lt;/p&gt;
  17848.  
  17849.  
  17850.  
  17851. &lt;p&gt;It has been claimed: &amp;#8220;They were going through a rough patch professionally, with injuries, and that affected their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  17852.  
  17853.  
  17854.  
  17855. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;re not well, of course. It&amp;#8217;s normal for any couple that breaks up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17856.  
  17857.  
  17858.  
  17859. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They had started the year very well and their dream has been shattered.&lt;/p&gt;
  17860.  
  17861.  
  17862.  
  17863. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They have struggled to make their relationship work. Ghosts from the past have returned, marked by the injuries they have both suffered.&lt;/p&gt;
  17864.  
  17865.  
  17866.  
  17867. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/GM_29-06_WIMBLEDON-BLOG_COMP_a7b657.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35620584&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

  17872.  
  17873.  
  17874.  
  17875. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a healthy breakup and there were no third parties or family influences, as is starting to be said.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17876.  
  17877.  
  17878.  
  17879. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35637994/katie-boulter-paula-badosa-wimbledon-tsitsipas/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Badosa lost to British ace Katie Boutler&lt;/a&gt; in a tight three-set encounter on day one of Wimbledon.&lt;/p&gt;
  17880.  
  17881.  
  17882.  
  17883. &lt;p&gt;As for Tsitsipas, he exited the tournament on day two after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35633045/stefanos-tsitsipas-wimbledon-retires-valentin-royer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;pulling out when two sets down&lt;/a&gt; to Valentin Royer due to a back injury &amp;#8211; not a broken heart.&lt;/p&gt;
  17884.  
  17885.  
  17886.  
  17887. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/stefanos-tsitsipas/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Greek ace&lt;/a&gt; admitted the fitness issue had made him &amp;#8220;miserable&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17888.  
  17889.  
  17890.  
  17891. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s probably the most difficult situation that I&amp;#8217;ve ever been faced with, because it&amp;#8217;s an ongoing issue that doesn&amp;#8217;t seem to be disappearing or fading off as much.&lt;/p&gt;
  17892.  
  17893.  
  17894.  
  17895. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Myself, as a person, I have a limit at some point, so I&amp;#8217;ll definitely have to have my final answer on whether I want to do stuff or not in the next couple of months.&lt;/p&gt;
  17896.  
  17897.  
  17898.  
  17899. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is going to be hard, but if I see it going in that trajectory, there is no point at competing.&lt;/p&gt;
  17900.  
  17901.  
  17902.  
  17903. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If I&amp;#8217;m not healthy, and I&amp;#8217;ve talked about health so many times, if health is not there, then your whole tennis life becomes miserable.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  17971. &lt;p&gt;Over the last week, she has made a play for both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35323162/harry-cooksley-love-island-2025-cast-contestant/&quot;&gt;Harry&lt;/a&gt; AND &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35448400/new-love-island-bombshell-harrison-fancies-toni/&quot;&gt;Harrison&lt;/a&gt;, despite them both being coupled up with Shakira and Toni.&lt;/p&gt;

  17988.  
  17989.  
  17990.  
  17991. &lt;p&gt;During this week&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35634794/first-look-love-islands-sexiest-ever-heart-rate-challenge/&quot;&gt;Heart Rate Challenge&lt;/a&gt;, Helena made her desire for her ex Harry clear when she whispered a raunchy message in his ear.&lt;/p&gt;
  17992.  
  17993.  
  17994.  
  17995. &lt;p&gt;Kneeling on the floor, she suggestively sucked his finger, she said: &amp;#8220;I want to f*** you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17996.  
  17997.  
  17998.  
  17999. &lt;p&gt;Now, Harry has ramped up the sexual tension by making a cheeky comment to Helena while they were sat talking.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18000.  
  18001.  
  18002.  
  18003. &lt;p&gt;He asked her: “What are you doing with your barnet tonight?” to which Helena replied: “I don’t know, what should I do?”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18004.  
  18005.  
  18006.  
  18007. &lt;p&gt;Harry quickly responded: “Well keep it out of your face, we’ve got to get busy later.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18008.

  18022.

  18091. &lt;p&gt;Things are also heating up between Helena and Harrison.&lt;/p&gt;
  18092.  
  18093.  
  18094.  
  18095. &lt;p&gt;When Toni was away from the villa, Helena made a play for Harrison on the terrace and ended up snogging him.&lt;/p&gt;
  18096.  
  18097.  
  18098.  
  18099. &lt;p&gt;She also appears not to care that her actions have been upsetting both Toni and Shakira.&lt;/p&gt;
  18100.  
  18101.  
  18102.  
  18103. &lt;p&gt;Fans have now come up with a theory&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35657696/love-island-fan-theory-helena-behaviour/&quot;&gt; about why Helena might be behaving this way.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18104.  
  18105.  
  18106.  
  18107. &lt;p&gt;Some believe she may be feeling &amp;#8220;insecure&amp;#8221; in the villa &amp;#8211; prompting her to act as though she &amp;#8220;doesn&amp;#8217;t care&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18108.  
  18109.  
  18110.  
  18111. &lt;p&gt;Taking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/reddit/&quot;&gt;Reddit&lt;/a&gt; to discuss, one said: &amp;#8220;I think she&amp;#8217;s still quite insecure in herself.&lt;/p&gt;
  18112.  
  18113.  
  18114.  
  18115. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I really don&amp;#8217;t like how she&amp;#8217;s conducted herself the past few days as it&amp;#8217;s now caused two girls to have their feelings really hurt but what she&amp;#8217;s doing isn&amp;#8217;t the actions of a person who has any confidence in herself.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18116.  
  18117.  
  18118.  
  18119. &lt;p&gt;While another added: &amp;#8220;I find myself feeling sad for her that her self esteem is clearly so low that she is absolutely fine and content with being a side chick to other woman.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18170.  
  18171.  
  18172.  
  18173. &lt;p&gt;Mr Streeting said: “The jabs are a route not just to lower weight, but lower taxes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18174.  
  18175.  
  18176.  
  18177. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/obesity/&quot;&gt;Obesity&lt;/a&gt;-related illnesses cost the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; a whopping £6billion every year.&lt;/p&gt;
  18178.  
  18179.  
  18180.  
  18181. &lt;p&gt;Currently people with a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12235684/weight-loss-calculator-how-much-lose-to-get-healthy-bmi/&quot;&gt;BMI&lt;/a&gt; of 35 or more — or 30 but with a health condition — can be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/35316622/fat-jab-nhs-prescriptions-doubles/&quot;&gt;prescribed jabs on the NHS&lt;/a&gt; through specialist weight-management services.&lt;/p&gt;
  18182.  
  18183.  
  18184.  
  18185. &lt;p&gt;But for those who do not meet the criteria, accessing the injections can set household finances back hundreds of pounds a month.&lt;/p&gt;
  18186.  
  18187.  
  18188.  
  18189. &lt;p&gt;The Health Secretary said: “Not everyone in this country has £2,500 a year to spend on weight-loss jabs.&lt;/p&gt;
  18190.  
  18191.  
  18192.  
  18193. &lt;p&gt;“For &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; MPs like myself, this strikes at the heart of the fairness principle of the NHS, which is supposed to be available for everyone based on need, not ability to pay. &lt;/p&gt;
  18194.  
  18195.  
  18196.  
  18197. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We’re looking to seriously scale up &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/35625605/fat-jabs-nhs-high-street-pharmacies-without-seeing-gp/&quot;&gt;access to weight-loss jabs&lt;/a&gt; for everyone who needs them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18198.  
  18199.  
  18200.  
  18201. &lt;p&gt;NHS spending watchdog the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence believes this could lift swathes of people out of the “obese” category and get them &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34884789/fat-jabs-get-britain-working/&quot;&gt;back to work&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18202.  
  18203.  
  18204.  
  18205. &lt;p&gt;It estimates fat jabs could boost the economy by 257,000 working days — worth £35.6million per year.&lt;/p&gt;
  18206.  
  18207.  
  18208.  
  18209. &lt;p&gt;Chief exec Dr Sam Roberts said: “The cost of inaction is simply too high.&lt;/p&gt;
  18210.  
  18211.  
  18212.  
  18213. &lt;p&gt;“Prioritising prevention is a win-win for the health of the nation and the economy.”&lt;/p&gt;

  18237. &lt;p&gt;This proactive approach to tackling obesity-related illnesses forms part of Mr Streeting’s landmark &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/31211262/government-calls-on-nation-help-fix-nhs-share-experiences/&quot;&gt;ten-year health plan&lt;/a&gt;, which will also see the NHS become a neighbourhood health service. &lt;/p&gt;
  18238.  
  18239.  
  18240.  
  18241. &lt;p&gt;Around 250 to 300 local health centres will be built, which will open six days a week and 12 hours a day.&lt;/p&gt;
  18242.  
  18243.  
  18244.  
  18245. &lt;p&gt;They will be staffed by doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, health visitors, weight-loss specialists and even job advisers.&lt;/p&gt;
  18246.  
  18247.  
  18248.  
  18249. &lt;p&gt;Medics will be encouraged to go door-to-door to spot illnesses early.&lt;/p&gt;
  18250.  
  18251.  
  18252.  
  18253. &lt;p&gt;And patients will be offered scans, check-ups, straightforward treatment, and broader life help.&lt;/p&gt;
  18254.  
  18255.  
  18256.  
  18257. &lt;p&gt;AI will be used to answer patient questions in the NHS app, and record data and write letters for doctors.&lt;/p&gt;

  18262.  
  18263.  
  18264.  
  18265. &lt;p&gt;The aim is to ease pressure on hospitals, which have been buckling under demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  18266.  
  18267.  
  18268.  
  18269. &lt;p&gt;As part of the ten-year plan, Mr Streeting has vowed to fix &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/20402173/nhs-paying-agency-nurses-plug-staffing-crisis/&quot;&gt;staff shortages&lt;/a&gt; by hiring more doctors, encouraging medical training and rewriting GP contracts to improve funding.&lt;/p&gt;

  18274.  
  18275.  
  18276.

  18289. &lt;p&gt;SUN readers have won the argument for keeping pub gardens smoker-friendly, Wes Streeting said yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  18290. &lt;p&gt;We revealed Labour’s plans for an outdoor ban last year. It sparked a public backlash and political U-turn.&lt;/p&gt;
  18291. &lt;p&gt;Wes joked: “I’ve lost the battle. &lt;/p&gt;
  18292. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I’ll have to keep inhaling smoke in the beer garden.” &lt;/p&gt;
  18293. &lt;p&gt;He will push supermarkets and restaurants to sell healthier food and shift discounts on to fruit and veg, insisting: “It’s nudge, not nanny.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18294. &lt;/div&gt;
  18295. &lt;/div&gt;
  18296. &lt;/div&gt;
  18298.

  18380.  
  18381.

  18383.  
  18384.  
  18385.  
  18386. &lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/24784324/new-volkswagen-spotted-for-first-time-on-track/&quot;&gt;Golf R&lt;/a&gt; is a lovely bit of kit. Nailed-on future classic.&lt;/p&gt;
  18387.  
  18388.  
  18389.  
  18390. &lt;p&gt;Sully’s got 333 horses to play with and sticky four-wheel drive to go round significant corners at considerable speeds.&lt;/p&gt;

  18423.  
  18424.  
  18425.  
  18426. &lt;p&gt;The noise — 510 horses, manual gearbox, red lines at 9,000rpm. No rear wing. Absolute weapon.&lt;/p&gt;
  18427.  
  18428.  
  18429.  
  18430. &lt;p&gt;Just stay away from those concrete barriers, eh, Noshy lad. They look hungry.&lt;/p&gt;
  18431.  
  18432.  
  18433.  
  18434. &lt;p&gt;Right, let’s hit you with some times.&lt;/p&gt;
  18435.  
  18436.  
  18437.  
  18438. &lt;p&gt;The Golf R’s quickest run was 12.5 seconds, reaching 110mph.&lt;/p&gt;
  18439.  
  18440.  
  18441.  
  18442. &lt;p&gt;The 911 edged it with 12.2 seconds and 119mph.&lt;/p&gt;
  18443.  
  18444.  
  18445.  
  18446. &lt;p&gt;Then it was my turn in Kia’s EV6 GT.&lt;/p&gt;
  18447.  
  18448.  
  18449.  
  18450. &lt;p&gt;When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/electric-cars/&quot;&gt;electric cars&lt;/a&gt; accelerate — even the cheaper ones — they leave your head buried in the back of the headrest.&lt;/p&gt;
  18451.  
  18452.  
  18453.  
  18454. &lt;p&gt;This one, with 641 horses and 770Nm of torques, scrambles your eggs.&lt;/p&gt;
  18455.  
  18456.  
  18457.  
  18458. &lt;p&gt;Needless to say, we blitzed the £158k Porker by more than a second, flashing up 11.165 seconds and 124mph on the iconic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34645613/fastest-ford-worldwide-three-records/&quot;&gt;Santa Pod&lt;/a&gt; gantry.&lt;/p&gt;
  18459.  
  18460.  
  18461.  
  18462. &lt;p&gt;Wallop.&lt;/p&gt;
  18463.  
  18464.  
  18465.  
  18466. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35670940&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/kia-drag-race-shoot-santa-1006678156.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Blue Kia EV6 at a racetrack.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35670940&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;Ian Roman&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The EV6 GT is faster than before, goes further, and recharges quicker[/caption]
  18467.  
  18468.  
  18469.  
  18470. &lt;p&gt;With more road in front of us, like an unrestricted autobahn, we could have kept on pushing to a very un-Kia-like 161mph.&lt;/p&gt;
  18471.  
  18472.  
  18473.  
  18474. &lt;p&gt;New virtual gearshift technology adds simulated gear changes and fake engine sounds if you want them. &lt;/p&gt;
  18475.  
  18476.  
  18477.  
  18478. &lt;p&gt;Otherwise just pin it to win it. &lt;/p&gt;
  18479.  
  18480.  
  18481.  
  18482. &lt;p&gt;My new friend Nosh, an architect from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt;, was clearly impressed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18483.  
  18484.  
  18485.  
  18486. &lt;p&gt;He said: “It’s amazing isn’t it, ridiculously fast. &lt;/p&gt;
  18487.  
  18488.  
  18489.  
  18490. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Eventually, when we have to, I’ll probably get one.&lt;/p&gt;
  18491.  
  18492.  
  18493.  
  18494. &lt;p&gt;“But I’m going to enjoy a manual gearshift and loud engines for as long as I can.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18495.  
  18496.  
  18497.  
  18498. &lt;p&gt;Fair play. He’s owned some tasty motors over the years including a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31144226/new-ferrari-f80-hypercar-laferrari-successor/&quot;&gt;Ferrari&lt;/a&gt; 430 Scuderia and Porsche 930 Turbo “Widowmaker”.&lt;/p&gt;
  18499.  
  18500.  
  18501.  
  18502. &lt;p&gt;Right, back on topic.&lt;/p&gt;
  18503.  
  18504.  
  18505.  
  18506. &lt;p&gt;Not only is the newly-updated EV6 GT faster than before, it goes further, recharges more quickerly — like 18 minutes — and the cabin’s been given some love too.&lt;/p&gt;
  18507.  
  18508.  
  18509.  
  18510. &lt;p&gt;OUT goes the glossy piano black, replaced by less smudgy brushed plastic.&lt;/p&gt;
  18511.  
  18512.  
  18513.  
  18514. &lt;p&gt;IN comes lots of cool neon-green detailing.&lt;/p&gt;
  18515.  
  18516.  
  18517.  
  18518. &lt;p&gt;The twin-screen dash carries all the latest tech. &lt;/p&gt;
  18519.  
  18520.  
  18521.  
  18522. &lt;p&gt;You can use the car’s power supply to boil a kettle or inflate an air bed on festival weekends.&lt;/p&gt;
  18523.  
  18524.  
  18525.  
  18526. &lt;p&gt;Last observation. Price. &lt;/p&gt;
  18527.  
  18528.  
  18529.  
  18530. &lt;p&gt;EV6 GT is actually £2,690 cheaper than before at £59,985. For a better car.&lt;/p&gt;
  18531.  
  18532.

  18589. &lt;p&gt;JOAO PEDRO is the latest star to join Brazil’s prolific production line to ­Stamford Bridge.&lt;/p&gt;
  18590.  
  18591.  
  18592.  
  18593. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35625282/chelsea-paid-brighton-257m-transfers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chelsea’s new £60million forward&lt;/a&gt; admits the impressive back catalogue of Samba stars who have played for the club was a huge factor in his desire to follow suit.&lt;/p&gt;

  18602.  
  18603.  
  18604.  
  18605. &lt;p&gt;The Blues have had at least one Brazilian player in their squad every year since 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
  18606.

  18610.  
  18611.  
  18612.  
  18613. &lt;p&gt;So much so that playing for the Blues was a boyhood ambition for the 23-year-old, who has arrived from Brighton on an eight-year deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  18614.  
  18615.  
  18616.

  18620.  
  18621. &lt;p&gt;“I was one of the young ones who watched &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt;. They had brilliant players in the past and have brilliant players now.&lt;/p&gt;
  18622.  
  18623.  
  18624.  
  18625. &lt;p&gt;“It’s a big &lt;span id=&quot;b63a4001-eae7-41be-b286-11c2e60b745d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;football&lt;/span&gt; club — that is why I chose to go to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18626.  
  18627.  
  18628.  
  18629. &lt;p&gt;Pedro’s signing confirms the colourful ­connection between &lt;span id=&quot;af534fd9-b4dd-4586-9052-6c6afb2682cc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/span&gt; and the greatest &lt;span id=&quot;88757114-8131-4395-a4f6-f551ed145fe3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;football&lt;/span&gt; nation on &lt;span id=&quot;a5ef099d-29a8-40a5-a90c-d98a1b76b645&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Earth&lt;/span&gt; remains fully open.&lt;/p&gt;
  18630.  
  18631.  
  18632.  
  18633. &lt;p&gt;He joins countryman Andrey &lt;span id=&quot;429d2fa3-73c1-413a-bccb-0ba81a3e91fb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Santos&lt;/span&gt;, 21 — back from a season-long loan spell with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ligue-1/&quot;&gt;Ligue 1&lt;/a&gt; side Strasbourg — in the Chelsea squad.&lt;/p&gt;

  18638.  
  18639.  
  18640.  
  18641. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, 18-year-old Estevao Willian will link up with the Blues from quarter-final opponents &lt;span id=&quot;888f8242-393b-436e-b255-0078f2f946f8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Palmeiras&lt;/span&gt; after the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/club-world-cup/&quot;&gt;Club World Cup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18668.  
  18669. &lt;p&gt;“I was talking with Andrey on &lt;span id=&quot;ebce6faa-1cec-4dd9-95ff-cfdd42656c71&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/span&gt;, asking about the guys, about the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  18670.  
  18671.  
  18672.  
  18673. &lt;p&gt;“And he said good things about the team, so it was good to join.&lt;/p&gt;
  18674.  
  18675.  
  18676.  
  18677. &lt;p&gt;“When you join one club and know one of the players, it makes it easier for sure.&lt;/p&gt;
  18678.  
  18679.  
  18680.  
  18681. &lt;p&gt;“I’m close with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-luiz/&quot;&gt;David Luiz&lt;/a&gt;. I spoke with him, not about Chelsea, but about my career. How I can develop it better, and he helped me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18682.  
  18683.  
  18684.  
  18685. &lt;p&gt;Defender Luiz is probably the standout Brazilian in Chelsea’s ­history &lt;span id=&quot;7b67d10e-8ee7-43e5-a510-d553345efa6f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;books&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18686.  
  18687.  
  18688.  
  18689. &lt;p&gt;The fuzzy &lt;span id=&quot;97784c2d-3598-4721-9411-430ac8c53b39&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/span&gt;, marauding runs from deep and often haphazard temperament endeared him to Chelsea fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  18690.  
  18691.  
  18692.  
  18693. &lt;p&gt;And his leadership qualities were so formidable that Chelsea signed him twice.&lt;/p&gt;

  18706.  
  18707.  
  18708.  
  18709. &lt;p&gt;It is too soon to know whether &lt;span id=&quot;d584c04c-0a5a-4469-aadc-608fc9c078d8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Pedro&lt;/span&gt; will follow in the big man’s footsteps or get his head down and get on with his game — like quiet man &lt;span id=&quot;15539e1f-3972-4db1-b99f-726ef2ffd1c4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Ramires&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18710.  
  18711.  
  18712.  
  18713. &lt;p&gt;But he is unlikely to go unnoticed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18714.  
  18715.  
  18716.  
  18717. &lt;p&gt;He scored 30 goals in 70 appearances for Brighton — but was also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34549677/brentford-beat-brighton-pedro-red/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sent off in his farewell performance&lt;/a&gt; against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225644/brentford/&quot;&gt;Brentford&lt;/a&gt; in May.&lt;/p&gt;
  18718.  
  18719.  
  18720.  
  18721. &lt;p&gt;The former Fluminese and Watford stiker boasts a reputation for having a big personality.&lt;/p&gt;
  18722.  
  18723.  
  18724.  
  18725. &lt;p&gt;And the Seagulls have included a sell-on clause in the deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  18726.  
  18727.  
  18728.  
  18729. &lt;p&gt;It suggests the South Coast club expect &lt;span id=&quot;52c0ac2d-273c-4fcd-a4cb-d16ef84a8c7c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Pedro&lt;/span&gt; will become world-class at Chelsea, prompting an even bigger club like Real &lt;span id=&quot;f177c166-c185-4e58-a194-aa74badd3c5a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Madrid&lt;/span&gt; to come knocking for him.&lt;/p&gt;
  18730.  
  18731.  
  18732.  
  18733. &lt;p&gt;He will get a quick chance to make an impact. Pedro flew from &lt;span id=&quot;74b2eb58-7fe2-4dab-8224-d1f5389bea5b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Brazil&lt;/span&gt; to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/united-states/&quot;&gt;United States&lt;/a&gt; — where Chelsea are contesting the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/club-world-cup/&quot;&gt;Club World Cup&lt;/a&gt; — for his medical.&lt;/p&gt;

  18743.
