  83.  
  84.  
  85.  
  86. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Necrotising fasciitis is an uncommon and rapidly progressive surgical emergency,&amp;#8221; medics from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/shrewsbury/&quot;&gt;Shrewsbury&lt;/a&gt; and Telford Hospital &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; Trust wrote in &lt;em&gt;&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://casereports.bmj.com/content/18/4/e263792&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BMJ Case Reports&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

  90. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With our &lt;span id=&quot;a83565b7-183f-4888-9da8-c6ad4bef5d74&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;review&lt;/span&gt; of three cases, we aim to raise awareness of this condition among gynaecologists, who have limited familiarity with it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  91.  
  92.  
  93.  
  94. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/33533807/hour-from-death-haemorrhoids-flesh-eating-disease-necrotising-fasciitis/&quot;&gt;rare flesh eating disease&lt;/a&gt; can develop after wound &amp;#8211; from surgery or something as small as a cut, scrape or insect bite &amp;#8211; gets infected. &lt;/p&gt;
  95.  
  96.  
  97.  
  98. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bacteria/&quot;&gt;Bacteria&lt;/a&gt; penetrate the deep layers of the skin &amp;#8211; known as the fascia, which surrounds and holds muscles, nerves, fat and blood vessels in place &amp;#8211; spreading quickly and causing them to die. &lt;/p&gt;
  99.  
  100.  
  101.  
  102. &lt;p&gt;Bill Sullivan, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Indiana University, told &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.livescience.com/health/viruses-infections-disease/flesh-eating-vulva-infections-reported-in-three-cases-gynecologists-should-know-the-signs-experts-warn&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Live Science&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Necrotising fasciitis can occur anywhere skin or tissue is breached, including genitalia.&lt;/p&gt;
  103.  
  104.  
  105.  
  106. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s an extremely aggressive infection that can advance to a life-threatening situation in 24-48 hours. &lt;/p&gt;
  107.  
  108.  
  109.  
  110. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After these bacteria get into the skin, they release potent toxins that lead to rapid tissue destruction, liquefying muscle, nerves, and blood vessels.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  111.  
  112.  
  113.  
  114. &lt;p&gt;It needs to be treated promptly with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/antibiotics/&quot;&gt;antibiotics&lt;/a&gt;, and sometimes surgery is required to remove damaged tissue. &lt;/p&gt;
  115.  
  116.  
  117.  
  118. &lt;p&gt;If the bacteria infect the blood stream, this can subsequently lead to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sepsis/&quot;&gt;sepsis&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; a life threatening reaction to an infection where the immune system goes into overdrive, causing the body to attack its own tissues and organs. &lt;/p&gt;
  119.  
  120.  
  121.  
  122. &lt;p&gt;Dr Sullivan said: &amp;#8220;Vaginal necrotising fasciitis could be contracted through rough sex, a piercing, or cosmetic and surgical procedures.&lt;/p&gt;

  143.  
  144.  
  145.  
  146. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The mortality rate is estimated to be up to 50 per cent.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  147.  
  148.  
  149.  
  150. &lt;p&gt;The case report authors said their hospital had seen a worrying rise in the flesh-eating disease in recent years. &lt;/p&gt;
  151.  
  152.  
  153.  
  154. &lt;p&gt;Twenty cases of this uncommon infection had been reported between 2022 and 2024 alone. In contrast, 18 cases were seen in the whole decade before that. &lt;/p&gt;
  155.  
  156.  
  157.  
  158. &lt;p&gt;Medics detailed the cases of three women who&amp;#8217;d developed the horrifying infection on their vulva &amp;#8211; this is the external female genitalia, including the inner and outer labia, clitoris and vaginal opening. &lt;/p&gt;
  159.  
  160.  
  161.  
  162. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Two of our patients presented to emergency with vulval necrotising fasciitis, while the third developed it as a complication of postoperative wound infection,&amp;#8221; they wrote. &lt;/p&gt;
  163.  
  164.  
  165.  
  166. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All patients underwent extensive surgical debridement and required a multidisciplinary approach from gynaecologists, surgeons, the intensive care team and the tissue viability team.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  167.  
  168.  
  169.  
  170. &lt;p&gt;The first woman noticed a small spot in her pubic area, for which she was prescribed antibiotics by her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp/&quot;&gt;GP&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  171.  
  172.  
  173.  
  174. &lt;p&gt;But the spot got steadily more infected over the following five days and flesh eating bacteria spread across her labia majora, left hip and lower abdomen.  &lt;/p&gt;
  175.  
  176.  
  177.  
  178. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  179. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  180. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Signs of necrotising fasciitis&lt;/h3&gt;
  181. &lt;/div&gt;
  182. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  185. &lt;div&gt;
  186. &lt;p&gt;It can happen when bacteria enters the body through an open wound, like a cut or burn.&lt;/p&gt;
  187. &lt;p&gt;The infection spreads quickly and aggressively, causes tissue death and can be deadly if not treated right away.&lt;/p&gt;
  188. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The signs and symptoms to know&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
  189. &lt;p&gt;Symptoms of necrotising fasciitis can develop quickly within hours or over a few days.&lt;/p&gt;
  190. &lt;p&gt;At first, you may have:&lt;/p&gt;
  191. &lt;ul&gt;
  192. &lt;li&gt;Intense pain or loss of feeling near to a cut or wound – the pain may seem much worse than you would usually expect from a cut or wound&lt;/li&gt;
  193. &lt;li&gt;Swelling of the skin around the affected area&lt;/li&gt;
  194. &lt;li&gt;Flu-like symptoms, such as a high temperature, headache and tiredness&lt;/li&gt;
  195. &lt;/ul&gt;
  196. &lt;p&gt;Later symptoms can include:&lt;/p&gt;
  197. &lt;ul&gt;
  198. &lt;li&gt;Being sick (vomiting) and diarrhoea&lt;/li&gt;
  199. &lt;li&gt;Confusion&lt;/li&gt;
  200. &lt;li&gt;Black, purple or grey blotches and blisters on the skin (these may be less obvious on black or brown skin)&lt;/li&gt;
  201. &lt;/ul&gt;
  202. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Typical treatment:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  203. &lt;p&gt;Necrotising fasciitis gets worse very quickly and can kill.&lt;/p&gt;
  204. &lt;p&gt;This is why it must be treated in hospital as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  205. &lt;p&gt;Sufferers will usually be given antibiotics to fight off the infection or in some cases, surgery to remove the affected area&lt;/p&gt;
  206. &lt;p&gt;Even after successful treatment, there may be long-term changes in how the body looks. Some people require further surgery and&amp;nbsp;physiotherapy&amp;nbsp;to help recover.&lt;/p&gt;
  207. &lt;/div&gt;
  208. &lt;/div&gt;
  209. &lt;/div&gt;
  211.  
  212.  
  213.  
  214. &lt;p&gt;The patient was rushed to A&amp;amp;E, where the infected tissue was surgically removed, or &amp;#8220;debrided&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  215.  
  216.  
  217.  
  218. &lt;p&gt;But despite medics&amp;#8217; best efforts, she died from sepsis only 28 hours after diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;
  219.  
  220.  
  221.  
  222. &lt;p&gt;The second woman visited the hospital after noticing a lump on her labia a week earlier. &lt;/p&gt;
  223.  
  224.  
  225.  
  226. &lt;p&gt;It turned out to be an infected abscess. &lt;/p&gt;
  227.  
  228.  
  229.  
  230. &lt;p&gt;The patient ultimately needed three debridements to control the infection, followed by reconstructive surgery, as the necrotising fasciitis broke down the upper third of her labia majora in a matter of 12 hours. &lt;/p&gt;
  231.  
  232.  
  233.  
  234. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The wound has since healed well,&amp;#8221; her doctors noted.&lt;/p&gt;
  235.  
  236.  
  237.  
  238. &lt;p&gt;The final patient who case was described in the report was struck by the horrifying infection after undergoing a hysterectomy in order to treat fibroids. &lt;/p&gt;
  239.  
  240.  
  241.  
  242. &lt;p&gt;She was treated with antibiotics and had infected tissue surgically removed. &lt;/p&gt;
  243.  
  244.  
  245.  
  246. &lt;p&gt;The case report authors said many gynaecologists might not be aware of necrotising fasciitis and urged them to read up on signs of a flesh eating infection as &amp;#8220;time is of the essence&amp;#8221; when treating it. &lt;/p&gt;
  247.  
  248.  
  249.  
  250. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Vaginal necrotising fasciitis could be considered more dangerous in the sense that it might be more difficult to diagnose in time, &amp;#8221; Dr Sullivan said. &lt;/p&gt;
  251.  
  252.  
  253.  
  254. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Gynaecologists may not have it on their diagnostic radar, and surgical interventions, which are usually required to stop NF from spreading and remove dead tissue, may be limited.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s estimated that around 500 people in the UK develop necrotising fasciitis in the UK every year, according to a BMJ report from 2021. &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  308.  
  309.  
  310. &lt;p&gt;But don&amp;#8217;t worry, a simple &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot;&gt;step&lt;/a&gt; can help banish &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spiders-insects-creepy-crawlies/&quot;&gt;spiders&lt;/a&gt; from your space this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spring/&quot;&gt;spring&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  311.  
  312.  
  313.  
  314. &lt;p&gt;While the eight-legged creatures are a natural part of the home&amp;#8217;s ecosystem, helping to keep flies away, most people would prefer if they stayed outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  315.  
  316.  
  317.  
  318. &lt;p&gt;Over the next few weeks, you will likely notice more spiders in quieter corners of your home. &lt;/p&gt;
  319.  
  320.  
  321.  
  322. &lt;p&gt;Adeel Ul-Haq from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://divanbeds.com/__;!!F0Stn7g!GUSSxoXQKzlH6AgAjoaoEr1rE6WtRV8wwpyL3-yy6PRWKKG5nKFNTaAw8fYLs7O5l5Mu1u3VPW7illHqgsNTSpU$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Divan Beds&lt;/a&gt; shared his top tips for keeping these unwanted guests out of your home.&lt;/p&gt;
  323.  
  324.  
  325.  
  326. &lt;p&gt;While there are expensive repellents available to keep spiders away, the pro revealed natural oils can work just as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  327.  
  328.  
  329.  
  330. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Peppermint oil is a great way to keep the spiders away for cheap,&amp;#8221; he explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  331.  
  332.  
  333.  
  334. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The strong smell overwhelms the spiders and encourages them to go elsewhere.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  335.  
  336.  
  337.  
  338. &lt;p&gt;You can pick up a bottle of &lt;a href=&quot;https://groceries.asda.com/product/colourings-flavours/asda-extra-special-american-peppermint-extract/1000383174383&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Peppermint Extract (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Peppermint Extract&lt;/a&gt; for just £1.38 from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asda/&quot;&gt;Asda&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  339.  
  340.  
  341.  
  342. &lt;p&gt;According to the expert, this DIY hack will also leave your space smelling &amp;#8220;amazing&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  343.  
  344.  
  345.  
  346. &lt;p&gt;To make your home spider-free, they recommend mixing 10-15 drops of peppermint oil with water and spraying the concoction around the entry points of your home.&lt;/p&gt;

  370. &lt;p&gt;This includes windowsills, door frames, and any cracks you may have in your home.&lt;/p&gt;
  371.  
  372.  
  373.  
  374. &lt;p&gt;And if you&amp;#8217;re not a fan of peppermint, there are other scents you can use.&lt;/p&gt;
  375.  
  376.  
  377.  
  378. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Citrus peel from lemons or oranges can be rubbed on window ledges and skirting boards,&amp;#8221; Adeel said.&lt;/p&gt;
  379.  
  380.  
  381.  
  382. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Once again, these strong smells can overwhelm spiders without harming them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  383.  
  384.  
  385.  
  386. &lt;p&gt;They also suggested using a fan favourite cleaning product alternative.&lt;/p&gt;
  387.

  396. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  397. IF you want to ensure that your home is pest free this summer, here&amp;#039;s what you need to know. &lt;/p&gt;
  399. &lt;div&gt;
  400. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hornets and wasps&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; hate the smell of peppermint oil so spraying this liberally around your patio or balcony can help to keep them at bay.&lt;/p&gt;
  401. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moths &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; acidic household white vinegar is effective for deterring moths. Soak some kitchen roll in vinegar and leave it in your wardrobe as a deterrent.&lt;/p&gt;
  402. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flying ants&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, mint, chilli pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, or garlic act as deterrents.&lt;/p&gt;
  403. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mosquitoes&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; plants, herbs and essential oil fragrances can help deter mozzies inside and out. Try eucalyptus, lavender and lemongrass.&lt;/p&gt;
  404. &lt;/div&gt;
  405. &lt;/div&gt;
  406. &lt;/div&gt;
  408.  
  409.  
  410.  
  411. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A 50/50 split of white vinegar and water can help repel spiders too as the key ingredient acetic acid, the sour taste disrupts a spider&amp;#8217;s ability to detect prey and navigate its surroundings,&amp;#8221; he said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  412.  
  413.  
  414.  
  415. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This makes spiders avoid any places that it is sprayed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  416.  
  417.  
  418.  
  419. &lt;p&gt;And if all else fails, you can always try an old wives&amp;#8217; tale using an item from your garden.&lt;/p&gt;
  420.  
  421.  
  422.  
  423. &lt;p&gt;Placing conkers on windowsills or in corners of rooms to keep the spiders away has been an age-old tradition for many.&lt;/p&gt;
  424.  
  425.  
  426.  
  427. &lt;p&gt;However, there is no evidence to suggest this step would actually work.&lt;/p&gt;
  428.  
  429.  
  430.  
  431. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Using conkers to get rid of spiders is one of the most popular hacks over the years,&amp;#8221; Adeel said.&lt;/p&gt;
  432.  
  433.  
  434.  
  435. &lt;p&gt; &amp;#8220;Some believe the shiny surface puts spiders off but there&amp;#8217;s no evidence to suggest this works. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  436.  
  437.  
  438.  
  439. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The hack may in fact attract spiders as conkers rot over time and can become a food source for other insects that spiders may feed on.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  440.

  498. &lt;p&gt;TEEN Mom viewers are clearly keen on Tyler Baltierra&amp;#8217;s increasingly gym-honed physique.&lt;/p&gt;
  499.  
  500.  
  501.  
  502. &lt;p&gt;The 33-year-old posted a video on Instagram of him looking buff, in black sweatpants and black muscle tank, while making a pre-workout protein shake. &lt;/p&gt;
  503.  
  504.  
  505.

  511.  
  512.  
  513.  
  514. &lt;p&gt;The reel then cuts to Tyler pumping iron in the gym, and some of his 3.2 million Instagram followers have praised the results of his workout sessions. &lt;/p&gt;
  515.  
  516.  
  517.  
  518. &lt;p&gt;One Teen Mom fan says, &amp;#8220;You grew up and says YES &lt;span id=&quot;7c45ab94-6485-4093-8528-d448a29536cc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;GLOW UP&lt;/span&gt;,&amp;#8221; while another simply states, &amp;#8220;Handsome&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  519.  
  520.  
  521.  
  522. &lt;p&gt;Other comments include, &amp;#8220;Tyler is one sexy man&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;Gorgeous&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  523.  
  524.  
  525.  
  526. &lt;p&gt;Someone then even suggests Tyler is now starting to resemble a professional bodybuilder, asking him, &amp;#8220;Have you ever thought about competing in men physique?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  527.  
  528.  
  529.  
  530. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s unusual for Tyler&amp;#8217;s fans to be praising his muscular appearance, as it&amp;#8217;s normally another part of his anatomy that gets commented on. &lt;/p&gt;
  531.  
  532.  
  533.  
  534. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, he posted a video making eggs for breakfast, but it wasn&amp;#8217;t the contents of his frying pan that fans noticed, more the contents inside his basketball shorts.&lt;/p&gt;
  535.  
  536.  
  537.  
  538. &lt;p&gt;Tyler captioned the video, &amp;#8220;I keep losing count whenever I try to add up all my blessings. I’m not mad about it!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  539.  
  540.  
  541.  
  542. &lt;p&gt;To which one fan said, &amp;#8220;The snake in the pants&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  543.  
  544.  
  545.  
  546. &lt;p&gt;And another posted, &amp;#8220;Nobody else gonna mention it? Congrats girl&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  547.  
  548.  
  549.  
  550. &lt;p&gt;While a third fan, jokingly added, &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m gonna buy you underwear for your birthday, drop the addy&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  551.  
  552.  
  553.  
  554. &lt;p&gt;MTV&amp;nbsp;personality Tyler charged a monthly fee of $30 for&amp;nbsp;people to get NSFW photos and videos&amp;nbsp;of him on&amp;nbsp;OnlyFans&amp;nbsp;before recently disabling the account.&lt;/p&gt;
  555.  
  556.  
  557.  
  558. &lt;p&gt;His wife &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/catelynn-lowell/&quot;&gt;Catelynn Lowell, 32&lt;/a&gt;, was responsible for running his account on the adult-sharing platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  559.  
  560.  
  561.  
  562. &lt;p&gt;In 2022 Tyler told fans he was serious about changing his body shape and showed pictures two months apart to demonstrate his body transformation. &lt;/p&gt;
  563.  
  564.  
  565.  
  566. &lt;p&gt;Speaking at the time, he spoke about his body struggles and revealed what he was doing to change things. &lt;/p&gt;
  567.  
  568.  
  569.  
  570. &lt;p&gt;He said, &amp;#8220;My whole life I hated my-ectomorph body. I&amp;#8217;ve always been known as &amp;#8216;the scrawny dude&amp;#8217; &amp;amp; I could never gain weight.&lt;/p&gt;
  571.  
  572.  
  573.  
  574. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I wouldn&amp;#8217;t even take my shirt off because I always thought I looked sickly skinny &amp;amp; I hated my bony chest so much that I used to swim with my shirt on lol&lt;/p&gt;
  575.  
  576.  
  577.  
  578. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I may not be where I want to be yet (still got a lot more work to do) but I&amp;#8217;m just trying to soak in all the little victories I notice on the way.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  615. &lt;p&gt;IT&amp;#8217;S hard to imagine now &amp;#8211; on a sun-soaked spring afternoon &amp;#8211; the horrors that took place inside.&lt;/p&gt;
  616.  
  617.  
  618.  
  619. &lt;p&gt;But no one living in Argoed, in the south &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/wales/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt; valleys, will ever forget &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/32591641/cerys-yemm-murder-matthew-williams-south-wales/&quot;&gt;the events that unfolded&lt;/a&gt; at the former Sirhowy Arms Hotel near Blackwood on November 6 2014.&lt;/p&gt;

  632.  
  633.  
  634.  
  635. &lt;p&gt;Young shop worker Cerys Yemm was brutally murdered by cannibal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3101990/matthew-williams-cerys-yemm-cannibal/&quot;&gt;Matthew Williams&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; who stabbed her with a screwdriver and then ate her face in his room at the hotel. &lt;/p&gt;
  636.  
  637.  
  638.  
  639. &lt;p&gt;Many signed a petition for the &amp;#8220;halfway house&amp;#8221; to be pulled down with some saying they can&amp;#8217;t even bring themselves to look at it whenever they walk past.&lt;/p&gt;
  640.  
  641.  
  642.  
  643. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s like having the Amityville house of horrors right on your doorstep,&amp;#8221; one local said.&lt;/p&gt;
  644.  
  645.  
  646.  
  647. &lt;p&gt;Current owner Dorothy Keys had much of the interior restructured and said she has no idea where room 7 &amp;#8211; the site of one of Britain&amp;#8217;s most gruesome crimes &amp;#8211; actually is.&lt;/p&gt;
  648.  
  649.  
  650.  
  651. &lt;p&gt;“To be honest, I don’t want to know,&amp;#8221; she told The Sun.&lt;/p&gt;
  652.  
  653.  
  654.  
  655. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;I can still see the amount of blood&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  656.  
  657.  
  658.  
  659. &lt;p&gt;Cerys, 22, who worked as a shop assistant at a Next store, had joined Williams in his room after several nights out in the days before.&lt;/p&gt;
  660.  
  661.  
  662.  
  663. &lt;p&gt;It was there that Williams, 34, who had been released from prison just two weeks before and was high on drugs, brutally murdered her and ate her face.&lt;/p&gt;
  664.  
  665.  
  666.  
  667. &lt;p&gt;Hotel staff heard a woman&amp;#8217;s screams around 1.20am before former owner Mandy Miles burst in on the sick killer.&lt;/p&gt;
  668.  
  669.  
  670.  
  671. &lt;p&gt;She found Williams chewing one of his victim&amp;#8217;s eyeballs, having already bitten off part of her face. Her body lay on the floor.&lt;/p&gt;
  672.  
  673.  
  674.  
  675. &lt;p&gt;At the time, Ms Miles described the evil killer&amp;#8217;s own face as being covered in blood, his eyes black.&lt;/p&gt;
  676.

  699. &lt;p&gt;She would later say: “I can still see the amount of blood and the stillness of her, there were no signs of life at that point. I said to Matthew: ‘Do you know what you’re doing to that girl?’ He said: ‘That’s no girl.’”&lt;/p&gt;
  700.  
  701.  
  702.  
  703. &lt;p&gt;Cerys suffered 89 injuries in the attack. An inquest would later rule she died of &amp;#8220;sharp force trauma&amp;#8221; after being stabbed with a screwdriver.&lt;/p&gt;
  704.  
  705.  
  706.  
  707. &lt;p&gt;In a recording of her 999 call, Ms Miles can be heard screaming, crying and shouting: &amp;#8220;oh God, oh God&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  708.  
  709.  
  710.  
  711. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;He has put a screwdriver through her face and is eating her&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  712.  
  713.  
  714.  
  715. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There was screaming and screaming. Oh my God it is awful.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  716.  
  717.  
  718.  
  719. &lt;p&gt;Williams died from cardiac arrest after a police officer shot him three times, including in the face, with a 50,000-volt Taser when faced with the horrific scene.&lt;/p&gt;

  727. &lt;p&gt;Cerys&amp;#8217;s mum Paula Yemm said her daughter came home at 4am on November 1 2014 after a night out, then left early that day and didn&amp;#8217;t return until late.&lt;/p&gt;
  728.  
  729.  
  730.  
  731. &lt;p&gt;She told her she was going for a pub meal on November 5 and told her at 12.15am she was on her way home &amp;#8211; though Paula suspected this to be a lie.&lt;/p&gt;
  732.  
  733.  
  734.  
  735. &lt;p&gt;Hours later she was told her daughter had died.&lt;/p&gt;

  751.  
  752. &lt;p&gt;Paula also claimed Cerys&amp;#8217;s boyfriend had met Williams in prison and told her to stay away from him, describing her would-be killer as a &amp;#8220;nightmare&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  753.  
  754.  
  755.  
  756. &lt;p&gt;Williams&amp;#8217; mum, Sally, told the inquest her son had been &amp;#8220;given no support&amp;#8221; or medication for his mental health problems on being released from prison on October 23 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
  757.  
  758.  
  759.  
  760. &lt;p&gt;He had previously been treated for schizophrenia. She said he had deteriorated quickly as he awaited GP appointments in the days before the murder.&lt;/p&gt;
  761.  
  762.  
  763.  
  764. &lt;p&gt;Williams had spent his adult life in and out of prison.&lt;/p&gt;
  765.  
  766.  
  767.  
  768. &lt;p&gt;At his inquest in 2017, the coroner ruled he died suddenly as a result of taking drugs and struggling against police restraint, reports &lt;a aria-label=&quot;the BBC (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-39406611#:~:text=The%20inquest%20into%20Williams's%20and,and%20struggling%20against%20police%20restraint.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the BBC&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  769.  
  770.  
  771.  
  772. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Horrified beyond words&lt;/h2&gt;
  773.  
  774.  
  775.  
  776. &lt;p&gt;Like many journalists, I covered this grotesque story at the time and was horrified beyond words as the gruesome details of the killing emerged.&lt;/p&gt;
  777.  
  778.  
  779.  
  780. &lt;p&gt;Cerys’s mum Paula, unsurprisingly, wanted the building pulled down and launched a petition, signed by most locals in Argoed.&lt;/p&gt;
  781.  
  782.  
  783.  
  784. &lt;p&gt;Instead, it was decided by the owner to put the property up for auction following a refurbishment from top to bottom of the three-storey building to turn it from a hotel to a luxury nine-bedroom home.&lt;/p&gt;
  785.  
  786.  
  787.  
  788. &lt;p&gt;Six of the bedrooms were given en suite bathrooms, two new kitchens were built and office space was created.&lt;/p&gt;
  789.  
  790.  
  791.  
  792. &lt;p&gt;At the rear, a large garden was newly-landscaped with car parking spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
  793.  
  794.  
  795.  
  796. &lt;p&gt;And in November 2022, eight years after the horrific murder, the former hotel, now renamed as Meadow View, sold for £270,000 at auction &amp;#8211; £25,000 above its guide price.&lt;/p&gt;
  797.  
  798.  
  799.  
  800. &lt;p&gt;The man who bought the property died just months later, after the suffering a heart attack.&lt;/p&gt;

  811.  
  812. &lt;p&gt;Leon Bidgway, who lives opposite the infamous property, told The Sun: “He bought the house for himself and his family but he hadn’t been there long before he had a massive heart attack. Unfortunately, he died.&lt;/p&gt;
  813.  
  814.  
  815.  
  816. &lt;p&gt;“I must admit, I was surprised anyone wanted to live there after what happened, but the place had been completely renovated and smartened up so you wouldn’t know it was once a pretty run-down hotel.&lt;/p&gt;
  817.  
  818.  
  819.  
  820. &lt;p&gt;“This guy and his family were told about the property’s history, so it can’t have bothered them too much.&lt;/p&gt;
  821.  
  822.  
  823.  
  824. &lt;p&gt;“Most people living around here would have preferred the building to be demolished, to be honest, because we didn’t want to be reminded every day of the terrible things that happened that awful day in 2014.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  825.  
  826.  
  827.  
  828. &lt;p&gt;Leon continued: “But I guess the owner felt differently. To be fair, once the refurbishment work was done, it looked completely different inside and out.&lt;/p&gt;

  845. &lt;p&gt;“I try very hard not to think about the murder now because living so close to the property has not always been easy since it happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  846.  
  847.  
  848.  
  849. &lt;p&gt;“I just don’t want to go there in my head now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  850.  
  851.  
  852.  
  853. &lt;p&gt;Following the auction buyer’s death, Meadow View sold again – to three generations of a family who still live there.&lt;/p&gt;
  854.  
  855.  
  856.  
  857. &lt;p&gt;Two were told of the property’s dark history when they first viewed it on its return to the market around 18 months ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  858.  
  859.

  876.  
  877. &lt;p&gt;“There has never been a bad atmosphere in the house or anything like that,” said Mrs Keys, an 81-year-old retired office worker. &lt;/p&gt;
  878.  
  879.  
  880.  
  881. &lt;p&gt;She lived in South Africa before coming to the UK in 1998 with her family.&lt;/p&gt;
  882.  
  883.  
  884.  
  885. &lt;p&gt;“All we were told was that the murder happened in room seven, but because the place was refurbished and many walls were knocked down and bedrooms and bathrooms were moved around, we have absolutely no idea where room seven was.&lt;/p&gt;
  886.  
  887.  
  888.  
  889. &lt;p&gt;“To be honest, I don’t want to know where room seven was.&lt;/p&gt;
  890.  
  891.  
  892.  
  893. &lt;p&gt;“It is a wonderful house to live in. It’s so peaceful here and there’s plenty of room for us to live together without getting under one another’s feet.&lt;/p&gt;
  894.  
  895.  
  896.  
  897. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  898. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  899. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Returning to Argoed&amp;#039;s horror hotel brought everything back&lt;/h3&gt;
  900. &lt;/div&gt;
  901. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  904. &lt;div&gt;
  905. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Nic North&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  906. &lt;p&gt;SLATE grey skies wept drizzle over Argoed as cops began the mundane task of winding red and white Do Not Cross tape around the murder scene &amp;#8211; a scruffy halfway house for “vulnerable” people.&lt;/p&gt;
  907. &lt;p&gt;Not every murder in the UK receives much media attention &amp;#8211; there were 14,239 in 2014 &amp;#8211; but the attachment of the word “cannibal” to this one elevated it in the news queue.&lt;/p&gt;
  908. &lt;p&gt;Walking towards the yellow-walled Sirhowy Hotel that day, I met an 80-year-old woman who had lived in the town all her life, sobbing softly into a handkerchief.&lt;/p&gt;
  909. &lt;p&gt;Between sobs, she told me she had known when Caerphilly council decided, two years earlier, to start using the hotel as a hostel for single, homeless men there would be “some trouble”.&lt;/p&gt;
  910. &lt;p&gt;But never had she imagined it would end like this, she told me.&lt;/p&gt;
  911. &lt;p&gt;Cannibalism, she said, was something you read about happening in islands in faraway oceans, “not here in the Valleys”.&lt;/p&gt;
  912. &lt;p&gt;Bit by bit, the unimaginable, gory details of the murder spilled out of Argoed that day in November 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
  913. &lt;p&gt;That these horrors took place beneath the roof of a building opposite a children’s playground only made them more sickening.&lt;/p&gt;
  914. &lt;p&gt;Locals, and the gathering pack of journalists at the scene, were left scratching their heads at how elected representatives could allow around a dozen men, many of them, like Williams, recently released from jail, to be housed here and how on earth had he been allowed to bring a young woman back to his room without someone somewhere realising which one was the vulnerable one.&lt;/p&gt;
  915. &lt;p&gt;Nosing my car into a parking space near the former hotel this week, these questions, these memories, came flooding back. &lt;/p&gt;
  916. &lt;p&gt;Today, at least, warm sunshine had replaced the grim, winter mist and drizzle.&lt;/p&gt;
  917. &lt;p&gt;But the town still felt haunted by the brutal murder despite the passing of the years. &lt;/p&gt;
  918. &lt;p&gt;Most said they were unable to talk about it because it was just too upsetting, even now. &lt;/p&gt;
  919. &lt;p&gt;It was something they all thought about, but gave those thoughts no voice, every single day, they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  920. &lt;p&gt;More than a decade has passed, but this town is still in mourning.&lt;/p&gt;
  921. &lt;/div&gt;
  922. &lt;/div&gt;
  923. &lt;/div&gt;
  925.  
  926.  
  927.  
  928. &lt;p&gt;The Keys family includes her daughter and two grandsons, one of whom recently graduated from university. &lt;/p&gt;
  929.  
  930.  
  931.  
  932. &lt;p&gt;They all moved to Argoed from their former home in west Wales.&lt;/p&gt;
  933.  
  934.  
  935.  
  936. &lt;p&gt;“The boys love it here because there’s so much space. We love living here and we are very glad we bought it,&amp;#8221; Ms Keys continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  937.  
  938.  
  939.  
  940. &lt;p&gt;“I know, given its history, that might surprise some people. If I think about it, my thoughts go to the poor young woman’s family, and also to the family of the perpetrator. I feel very sorry for them all.”&lt;/p&gt;
  941.  
  942.  
  943.  
  944. &lt;p&gt;But others in Argoed still believe the property should have been demolished in the wake of Cerys’ death.&lt;/p&gt;
  945.  
  946.  
  947.  
  948. &lt;p&gt;One local, who asked not to be identified, said: “I was one of the first to sign her mother’s petition to have the place pulled down.&lt;/p&gt;

  960. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  962.  
  963.  
  964.  
  965. &lt;p&gt;“The manner of this beautiful young woman’s death was so evil that it seemed to me that the place where she died had to be demolished.&lt;/p&gt;
  966.  
  967.  
  968.  
  969. &lt;p&gt;“Seeing it every day as I do literally makes me feel sick. It is a reminder daily of the unimaginable horrors that took place under that roof.&lt;/p&gt;
  970.  
  971.  
  972.  
  973. &lt;p&gt;“The details were just so sickening. I cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would choose to make that building their home now.&lt;/p&gt;
  974.  
  975.  
  976.  
  977. &lt;p&gt;“I know Mandy, the housekeeper at the time, and my heart goes out to her. &lt;/p&gt;
  978.  
  979.  
  980.  
  981. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She has never been the same since that awful day. She lives in a little cottage behind the house and she’s put up huge iron gates at the bottom of the drive so people don’t bother her.&lt;/p&gt;
  982.  
  983.  
  984.  
  985. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She’s kind of shut herself off from the world, especially journalists, because the memories of what happened are just too much for her. &lt;/p&gt;
  986.  
  987.  
  988.  
  989. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No one should ever have to witness what she witnessed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  990.  
  991.  
  992.  
  993. &lt;p&gt;Another local, who also asked not to be named, said: &amp;#8220;The property is a living reminder to all of us around here of the terrible tragedy.&lt;/p&gt;
  994.  
  995.  
  996.  
  997. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It should have been locked down immediately and I will never be able to get my head around why it is still standing. &lt;/p&gt;
  998.  
  999.  
  1000.  
  1001. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I walk past it most days and I have to look in the other direction. It’s like having the Amityville house of horrors right on your doorstep.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1078. &lt;p&gt;It is his fourth consecutive appearance in the event but it is remarkable he is able to compete in the first instance given that one doctor looked at his neck scan and was “shocked how I’m playing”.&lt;/p&gt;

  1219. &lt;p&gt;VILLAGERS have been left fuming after their &amp;#8220;beauty spot&amp;#8221; has been ruined by a massive steel fence.&lt;/p&gt;
  1220.  
  1221.  
  1222.  
  1223. &lt;p&gt;The 200m metal wall was erected along in 2020 and cuts across the Gilwern Mountain in Monmouthshire, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  1233.  
  1234.  
  1235. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34540459&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 549px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/without-telling-anyone-families-amazed-987200503_8a2afb.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=539&quot; alt=&quot;Metal fence gate erected on a disused quarry road.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34540459&quot; width=&quot;539&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;WNS&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;It was put up along a disused quarry road without public consultation[/caption]
  1236.  
  1237.  
  1238.  
  1239. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s been dubbed the &amp;#8220;Great Wall of Clydach&amp;#8221; by locals who have demanded the council remove it and return the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34462112/monstrous-metal-fence-ruining-views/&quot;&gt;beautiful Brecon Beacons site&lt;/a&gt; back to its original state. &lt;/p&gt;
  1240.  
  1241.  
  1242.  
  1243. &lt;p&gt;In a heated meeting on Wednesday, residents fumed as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33779576/labour-councillor-working-for-wes-pleads-guilty/&quot;&gt;councillors&lt;/a&gt; insisted the steel wall was put in place to block off a road it says is at risk of collapse.&lt;/p&gt;
  1244.  
  1245.  
  1246.  
  1247. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/32602967/woke-council-bosses-social-care-staff/&quot;&gt;Council bosses&lt;/a&gt; conceded that the barrier could be lowered or painted green in an attempt to make it less of an eye-sore but villagers were left unimpressed with one calling the fence &amp;#8220;disgusting&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1248.  
  1249.  
  1250.  
  1251. &lt;p&gt;Many have insisted the fence be pulled down straight away despite the council&amp;#8217;s original plan to keep it up for nine months.&lt;/p&gt;
  1252.  
  1253.  
  1254.  
  1255. &lt;p&gt;According to the authority, its placement is a protective measure &amp;#8211; safeguarding locals from potential rockfalls onto the road. &lt;/p&gt;
  1256.  
  1257.  
  1258.  
  1259. &lt;p&gt;This comes as a&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34400111/england-best-beaches-secret-closed/&quot;&gt; landslide&lt;/a&gt; was recorded in the area in 2023. &lt;/p&gt;
  1260.  
  1261.  
  1262.  
  1263. &lt;p&gt;But for many angry locals, the fence&amp;#8217;s visual impact is devastating &amp;#8211; with some even arguing that the glare from its metallic surface could lead to car accidents.&lt;/p&gt;
  1264.  
  1265.  
  1266.  
  1267. &lt;p&gt;Former county councillor Martin Thomas told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/giant-steel-fence-appears-welsh-31467019?int_source=nba&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wales Online&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;What about the visual impact?&lt;/p&gt;
  1268.  
  1269.  
  1270.  
  1271. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It could cause the first fatality on the Heads of the Valleys road with people looking up at the glare, that&amp;#8217;s how bad it is.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1272.  
  1273.  
  1274.  
  1275. &lt;p&gt;Another raging resident said: &amp;#8220;You don&amp;#8217;t understand if you think that&amp;#8217;s okay to put that fence up there.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1301.

  1323. &lt;p&gt;While Wayne Elliott shared: “I noted it going up early in the week and e-mailed the local authority as they previously agreed to have open dialogue with the community before further acting in regard to the roads temporary closure.&lt;/p&gt;

  1392.  
  1393.  
  1394.  
  1395. &lt;p&gt;And in an unexpected move, every letter in the country bore a special congratulatory message.&lt;/p&gt;
  1396.  
  1397.  
  1398.  
  1399. &lt;p&gt;All letters postmarked with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/royal-mail/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Royal Mail&lt;/a&gt; between April 15 and April 17 featured a special note to Rory.&lt;/p&gt;
  1400.  
  1401.  
  1402.  
  1403. &lt;p&gt;It read: &amp;#8220;Congratulations, Rory McIlroy, on completing your career Grand Slam!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1404.  
  1405.  
  1406.  
  1407. &lt;p&gt;McIlroy has become just the sixth man to ever achieve the golf career Grand Slam. &lt;/p&gt;
  1408.  
  1409.  
  1410.  
  1411. &lt;p&gt;His victory at Augusta was his 17th attempt at winning the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-masters/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Masters&lt;/a&gt; and came almost 11 years after his last Major.&lt;/p&gt;
  1412.  
  1413.  
  1414.  
  1415. &lt;p&gt;Rory admitted: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s been a very difficult journey. &lt;/p&gt;
  1416.  
  1417.  
  1418.  
  1419. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think I&amp;#8217;ve carried the burden of trying to complete the career Grand Slam since August 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
  1420.  
  1421.

  1424.  
  1425.  
  1426.  
  1427. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s nearly 11 years, and not just about winning my next major, but also the career Grand Slam. &lt;/p&gt;
  1428.  
  1429.  
  1430.  
  1431. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Trying to join a group of five players to do it, and then watching a lot of my peers get green jackets in the process was difficult.&lt;/p&gt;

  1475. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  1476. RORY MCILROY enjoyed a high-profile romance with former tennis world number one Caroline Wozniacki before their split in 2014. &lt;/p&gt;
  1478. &lt;div&gt;
  1479. &lt;p&gt;The following year, the golf ace began dating Erica Stoll, who he had first met on the PGA Tour in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
  1480. &lt;p&gt;Erica often interacted with players through her role as the PGA’s manager of championship volunteer operations.&lt;/p&gt;
  1481. &lt;p&gt;She even prevented McIlroy from missing his tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup after some confusion over the time zone.&lt;/p&gt;
  1482. &lt;p&gt;The incident began a firm friendship between the pair, four years before their relationship turned romantic.&lt;/p&gt;
  1483. &lt;p&gt;McIlroy and Erica were spotted on a string of dates in Rochester, New York, in the early days of their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  1484. &lt;p&gt;Just eight months later, the couple got engaged in Paris and walked down the aisle at Ashford Castle in Ireland in 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  1485. &lt;p&gt;The pair then welcomed daughter Poppy into the world three years later.&lt;/p&gt;
  1486. &lt;p&gt;Throughout their time together, McIlroy and Erica have kept their relationship to themselves, with the golfer keen to protect his family from the cameras during filming of Netflix’s Full Swing documentary series.&lt;/p&gt;
  1487. &lt;p&gt;However, after seven years of marriage, McIlroy filed for divorce from Erica.&lt;/p&gt;
  1488. &lt;p&gt;The reasons for the divorce were not disclosed, but the Northern Irishman submitted documents to a court in Florida.&lt;/p&gt;
  1489. &lt;p&gt;However, a few weeks later, performed a U-turn on their decision to divorce.&lt;/p&gt;
  1490. &lt;p&gt;McIlroy told the outlet: &amp;#8220;Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1491. &lt;/div&gt;
  1492. &lt;/div&gt;
  1493. &lt;/div&gt;
  1495.  
  1496.  
  1497.  
  1498. &lt;p&gt;Since his triumph, McIlroy has retreated to his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34484871/rory-mcilroy-stunning-mansion-florida-wife/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;£16million Florida mansion&lt;/a&gt; alongside wife Erica Stoll and daughter Poppy.&lt;/p&gt;
  1499.  
  1500.  
  1501.  
  1502. &lt;p&gt;The Northern Irishman is enjoying a few weeks away from competition before hitting the links again next month. &lt;/p&gt;
  1503.  
  1504.  
  1505.  
  1506. &lt;p&gt;McIlroy&amp;#8217;s next individual event is set to be the Truist Championship, where he is the reigning and four-time champion.&lt;/p&gt;
  1507.  
  1508.  
  1509.  
  1510. &lt;p&gt;That will be his only other event before the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pga-championship/&quot;&gt;PGA Championship&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;starts at Quail Hollow on May 15.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  2170.

  2186.  
  2187.  
  2188.  
  2189. &lt;p&gt;The pair guided &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; to a World Cup semi-final and two heartbreaking Euros final defeats.&lt;/p&gt;

  2193. &lt;p&gt;Holland departed alongside Southgate when he resigned as England boss last summer.&lt;/p&gt;

  2206.  
  2207.

  2350.  
  2351.  
  2352.  
  2353. &lt;p&gt;So if you notice any melted chocolate on your upholstery after your little one has tucked into an Easter egg, don&amp;#8217;t fret.&lt;/p&gt;
  2354.  
  2355.  
  2356.  
  2357. &lt;p&gt;Using two items you already have in your kitchen, you can lift that stubborn stain right off.&lt;/p&gt;
  2358.  
  2359.  
  2360.  
  2361. &lt;p&gt;And the best part is, it will only take seconds for your sofa to look as good as new.&lt;/p&gt;
  2362.  
  2363.  
  2364.  
  2365. &lt;p&gt;According to research cited by &lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sofaclub.co.uk/__;!!F0Stn7g!DPBmBLbGVRiOoUcZvh2l0-0cf8szVGEHbKfuM-sdxfvOyT8Yk7KvnLIBA-mmgs2fqfjYxeu8oCAlSbsIrhEaU41l0uapl0GjU5SIu9E$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;Sofa Club&lt;/a&gt;, there has been a +122% increase in Google searches for ‘How to remove stains from the sofa’ in the lead up to Easter Sunday. &lt;/p&gt;
  2366.  
  2367.  
  2368.  
  2369. &lt;p&gt;Interior Expert Monika Puccio from Sofa Club explained the best course of action to take to tackle these stains.&lt;/p&gt;
  2370.  
  2371.  
  2372.  
  2373. &lt;p&gt;“It’s every homeowner&amp;#8217;s worst nightmare to encounter stains on the sofa, especially for those with lighter fabrics, where staining is more pronounced,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  2374.  
  2375.  
  2376.  
  2377. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With such an emphasis on chocolate during this season, the chances of stains are particularly high, especially for those with younger children. &lt;/p&gt;
  2378.  
  2379.  
  2380.  
  2381. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Fear not, though; quick intervention and everyday household products can come to your rescue, bringing your sofa back to life.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2382.  
  2383.  
  2384.  
  2385. &lt;p&gt;First, she broke down the best technique to use for those with fabric sofas.&lt;/p&gt;
  2386.  
  2387.  
  2388.  
  2389. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“A&lt;/em&gt;llow the chocolate time to harden, using an ice pack if needed, and gently scrape the excess chocolate with a blunt knife,&amp;#8221; the pro explained.&lt;/p&gt;

  2414.  
  2415.  
  2416.  
  2417. &lt;p&gt;Monika pointed out that leather sofas are a lot easier to clean due to their composition.&lt;/p&gt;
  2418.  
  2419.  
  2420.  
  2421. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Simply remove the hardened chocolate carefully, and then clean the area with a leather-safe cleaning solution,&amp;#8221; she advised.&lt;/p&gt;

  2428.  
  2429. &lt;p&gt;“To help people breathe a little easier this Easter, I would recommend using a blanket on the sofa or purchasing a washable slipcover,&amp;#8221; she suggested.&lt;/p&gt;

  2551. &lt;p&gt;Which? discovered that the scam ads link to three different fraudulent websites, two of which were only registered in March 2025, raising red flags about their legitimacy.&lt;/p&gt;
  2552.  
  2553.  
  2554.  
  2555. &lt;p&gt;The consumer group has reported the ads to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s parent company, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/meta/&quot;&gt;Meta&lt;/a&gt;, which is currently investigating.&lt;/p&gt;
  2556.  
  2557.  
  2558.  
  2559. &lt;p&gt;Worryingly, some shoppers have already fallen victim, reporting that money has been taken from their accounts without any goods being delivered.&lt;/p&gt;
  2560.  
  2561.  
  2562.  
  2563. &lt;p&gt;One victim believed they were buying from Bonmarché but ended up paying a company based in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/china/&quot;&gt;China&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  2568.  
  2569.  
  2570.  
  2571. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;If an offer seems too good to be true, unfortunately it probably is.&lt;/p&gt;
  2572.  
  2573.  
  2574.  
  2575. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you&amp;#8217;re in any doubt about whether an offer is genuine, don&amp;#8217;t click on any links and visit the retailer&amp;#8217;s official website.&lt;/p&gt;
  2576.  
  2577.  
  2578.  
  2579. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you spot any suspicious posts, you can report them to the social media platform and the National Cyber Security Centre to investigate.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2603. &lt;p&gt;Shoppers looking to buy clothing directly from Bonmarché can do so online by visiting bonmarche.co.uk or by visiting their local store.&lt;/p&gt;
  2604.  
  2605.  
  2606.  
  2607. &lt;p&gt;You can find your closest shop by visiting bonmarche.co.uk/storefinder.&lt;/p&gt;

  2612.  
  2613.  
  2614.  
  2615. &lt;p&gt;In January 2012, just before Peacocks went into administration, Bonmarché was sold to private equity firm Sun European Partners.&lt;/p&gt;
  2616.  
  2617.  
  2618.  
  2619. &lt;p&gt;In October 2019, Bonmarché itself went into administration but was soon saved by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/edinburgh/&quot;&gt;Edinburgh&lt;/a&gt; Woollen Mill.&lt;/p&gt;
  2620.  
  2621.  
  2622.  
  2623. &lt;p&gt;In November 2020, the Edinburgh Woollen Mill Group entered administration, citing the impact of repeated &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/store-closures/&quot;&gt;store closures&lt;/a&gt; caused by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/coronavirus/&quot;&gt;coronavirus&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2624.  
  2625.  
  2626.  
  2627. &lt;p&gt;In January 2021, Purepay &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;Retail&lt;/a&gt; Limited purchased Edinburgh Woollen Mill and Bonmarché out of administration, followed by the acquisition of Peacocks in April 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  2628.  
  2629.  
  2630.  
  2631. &lt;p&gt;Bonmarché currently operates out of 225 UK stores.&lt;/p&gt;

  2642. PURCHASE scams often originate from advertisements or posts on social media platforms or search engine results. &lt;/p&gt;
  2644. &lt;div&gt;
  2645. &lt;p&gt;To protect yourself, be vigilant for the following red flags that may indicate a scam:&lt;/p&gt;
  2646. &lt;ul&gt;
  2647. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Offers that seem too good to be true&lt;/strong&gt;: Be cautious of unusually steep discounts or claims of selling highly sought-after items at improbably low prices. If it feels suspicious, it probably is.&lt;/li&gt;
  2648. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pressure to act quickly&lt;/strong&gt;: Scammers often use limited-time offers or urgency tactics, such as &amp;#8220;closing down sales&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;last chance deals,&amp;#8221; to manipulate you into making impulsive decisions.&lt;/li&gt;
  2649. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unverified sources&lt;/strong&gt;: Ads, posts, or search results not shared by a brand&amp;#8217;s official accounts or that redirect to websites which differ from the official domain could signal fraudulent activity. Always double-check the source before engaging further.&lt;/li&gt;
  2650. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Newly registered websites&lt;/strong&gt;: Be wary of unfamiliar websites, particularly those that have been recently created, as they may have been set up with the intent to deceive. A domain checker tool, such as WHO.IS, can help verify when a website was established.&lt;/li&gt;
  2651. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Negative reviews&lt;/strong&gt;: Consistent poor reviews across multiple review platforms can be a strong indicator of a scam. Take the time to read customer feedback before making a purchase.&lt;/li&gt;
  2652. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Incomplete website information&lt;/strong&gt;: Legitimate websites typically include essential pages such as &amp;#8216;Contact Us,&amp;#8217; &amp;#8216;About Us,&amp;#8217; and &amp;#8216;Terms and Conditions.&amp;#8217; The absence of these sections could be a sign of fraudulent intent.&lt;/li&gt;
  2653. &lt;/ul&gt;
  2654. &lt;/div&gt;
  2655. &lt;/div&gt;
  2656. &lt;/div&gt;
  2658.  
  2659.  
  2660.  
  2661. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How do I report scams?&lt;/h2&gt;
  2662.  
  2663.  
  2664.  
  2665. &lt;p&gt;If you think you have been a victim of a scam, you should report it as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  2666.  
  2667.  
  2668.  
  2669. &lt;p&gt;There is no guarantee you&amp;#8217;ll get your&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;back, but banks will often compensate you if you can show you did not know the money would leave your account.&lt;/p&gt;
  2670.  
  2671.  
  2672.  
  2673. &lt;p&gt;You can forward scam emails to&amp;nbsp;report@phishing.gov.uk.&lt;/p&gt;
  2674.  
  2675.  
  2676.  
  2677. &lt;p&gt;If you notice a website that doesn&amp;#8217;t look quite right, you can also report it to the National Cyber Security Centre by visiting ncsc.gov.uk/section/about-this-website/report-scam-website.&lt;/p&gt;
  2678.  
  2679.  
  2680.  
  2681. &lt;p&gt;You should also contact your provider and report it to Action Fraud, which will give you a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;reference number.&lt;/p&gt;
  2682.  
  2683.  
  2684.  
  2685. &lt;p&gt;You can do this online by visiting actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040.&lt;/p&gt;
  2686.  
  2687.  
  2688.  
  2689. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/3156205/scotland/&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/a&gt;, report a scam through Advice Direct Scotland online by visiting consumeradvice.scot.&lt;/p&gt;
  2690.

  2692.  
  2693. &lt;p&gt;You can also report scams to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; Scotland on 101.&lt;/p&gt;

  2766.  
  2767.  
  2768.  
  2769. &lt;p&gt;“People were shouting, ‘Get out!’ It was chaotic. Outside I heard a policeman tell someone in the crowd, ‘The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/news/698085/oklahoma-city-bombing-timothy-mcveigh-photos/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;explosion happened at the Murrah Building&lt;/a&gt;.’ And I started screaming, ‘No! No!’&lt;/p&gt;
  2770.  
  2771.  
  2772.  
  2773. &lt;p&gt;“I kept trying to get into the building but they wouldn’t let us through. &lt;/p&gt;
  2774.  
  2775.  
  2776.  
  2777. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remember screaming at a police officer, ‘I’ve got to get to my son. He’s at daycare.’ And, he replied, ‘All the children are being taken to the hospital.’”&lt;/p&gt;
  2778.  
  2779.  
  2780.  
  2781. &lt;p&gt;What faced Renee was an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/apocalypse/page/2/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;apocalyptic scene&lt;/a&gt; as the front third of the building had been completely blown away. &lt;/p&gt;
  2782.  
  2783.  
  2784.  
  2785. &lt;p&gt;Told to wait in a nearby church for news, she adds: “All the families were there. Everybody who had somebody in the building.&lt;/p&gt;
  2786.  
  2787.  
  2788.  
  2789. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remember that first night, it got really cold and it started raining and I was like, ‘Lord, please don’t let my baby be in that building cold and hungry.’ It hurt. It was the worst night ever.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2790.  
  2791.  
  2792.  
  2793. &lt;p&gt;As rescue teams battled terrible conditions, looking for life, some, like Amy Downs, were buried alive, praying they would be found.&lt;/p&gt;

  2837. &lt;p&gt;The Oklahoma bombing is the worst domestic terror attack ever committed in the United States, claiming the lives of 168 people, including 19 children. &lt;/p&gt;
  2838.  
  2839.

  2845. &lt;p&gt;Coming on the heels of the World Trade Center bombing in New York two years earlier, the media and many Americans assumed the attack was the handiwork of Middle Eastern terrorists.&lt;/p&gt;

  2903.  
  2904.  
  2905.  
  2906. &lt;p&gt;“I was just looking for signs of life and then I would say which ones should be taken to hospital first, which could wait a few minutes and those who were not going to make it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  2930.  
  2931. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A lot of people didn’t take that well. I turned around, the mother was behind me. She was lost. She just waved when they took her child away and walked off.”&lt;/p&gt;

  2935. &lt;p&gt;At 10.20am, Highway Patrol officer Charlie Hanger pulled over a car with no licence plate in Perry, Oklahoma, and told the driver, Timothy McVeigh, who was tall and slender with a military style haircut, to get out.&lt;/p&gt;

  2956.  
  2957.  
  2958.  
  2959. &lt;p&gt;She recalls: “I heard men’s voices and I started screaming and someone yelled, ‘We’ve got a live one. We need back-up.’ And then he said, ‘We can’t see you. We have to follow the sound of your voice. Keep talking to us.’&lt;/p&gt;
  2960.  
  2961.  
  2962.  
  2963. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I could hear they were getting closer. My right hand was sticking outside of the rubble pile and I had the sensation that someone had brushed it and I said, ‘I think you just touched my hand.’ I then felt him grab it and I thought that I would soon be pulled out.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2964.  
  2965.  
  2966.  
  2967. &lt;p&gt;But then all hell broke loose as what looked like a second bomb was found amongst the debris and everyone had to evacuate.&lt;/p&gt;
  2968.  
  2969.  
  2970.  
  2971. &lt;p&gt;“The men shouted, ‘There’s another bomb!’ and, realising what was happening, I just started telling them my name and said, ‘Tell my family I love them.’ &lt;/p&gt;
  2972.  
  2973.

  2993.  
  2994.  
  2995.  
  2996. &lt;p&gt;The second ‘bomb’ turned out to be a fake rocket used for a training operation by the ATF. The rescue team returned to try to get Amy out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  2998.

  3001.  
  3002.  
  3003.  
  3004. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When they pulled me out, everything hurt. Every nerve came alive but that didn’t matter. They took me out the back of the Federal building and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3005.  
  3006.  
  3007.  
  3008. &lt;p&gt;“I didn’t know what my injuries were, I didn’t know about my friends, but I’ll never forget looking up at the sky and taking this breath of fresh air and promising God I would never live my life the same.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3016. &lt;p&gt;It was established that the bomber had parked a truck in a drop-off zone outside the daycare centre, full of explosives that was then detonated.&lt;/p&gt;
  3017.  
  3018.  
  3019.  
  3020. &lt;p&gt;The vehicle was traced to a rental agency in Junction City, Kansas and three staff described the renter, Robert Kling, as white and looking like he had been in the military. &lt;/p&gt;
  3021.  
  3022.  
  3023.  
  3024. &lt;p&gt;A sketch artist created an impression and the owner of the Dreamland Hotel, in Kansas, told police that it looked like the man who had booked in on April 14 and checked out four days later, and who drove a Ryder truck.&lt;/p&gt;
  3025.  
  3026.  
  3027.  
  3028. &lt;p&gt;She showed them the name on his room registration &amp;#8211; Tim McVeigh.&lt;/p&gt;
  3029.  
  3030.  
  3031.  
  3032. &lt;p&gt;A search showed he had made a phone call from the hotel on the Saturday night to a local restaurant where an order was placed by Robert Kling – the name used to rent the truck.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3033.  
  3034.  
  3035.  
  3036. &lt;p&gt;Two days after the bombing, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fbi/&quot;&gt;FBI officers&lt;/a&gt; were startled to learn that McVeigh had been arrested for the traffic and weapon offence in Perry, and were told that he was standing in front of the judge and set to be released within 45 minutes. The race was on.&lt;/p&gt;

  3051. &lt;p&gt;IN the immediate aftermath of the Oklahoma bombing in 1995 the then President Bill Clinton promised justice will be &amp;#8220;swift, certain and severe&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3052. &lt;p&gt;But speedy punishment in the United States was not so easy because convicted criminals had repeated opportunities to appeal to the courts.&lt;/p&gt;
  3053. &lt;p&gt;Clinton, a Democrat, was determined to not let the man behind the worst domestic terror act on US soil use the law to avoid the death penalty.&lt;/p&gt;
  3054. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;It should not take eight or nine years and three trips to the Supreme Court to finalise whether a person, in fact, was properly convicted or not.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3055. &lt;p&gt;There certainly didn’t seem to be much doubt about Timothy McVeigh’s guilt.&lt;/p&gt;
  3056. &lt;p&gt;The right-wing anti-government terrorist had confessed to carrying out the attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma and described the deaths of the children in the creche as “collateral damage.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3057. &lt;p&gt;What’s more he showed no remorse for the 168 dead, telling the authors of a book about the bombing: “I understand what they felt in Oklahoma City. I have no sympathy for them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3058. &lt;p&gt;Republicans agreed that the path to the death penalty should be sped up in the wake of McVeigh’s horrific crimes.&lt;/p&gt;
  3059. &lt;p&gt;So it took just one year to pass the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, which limited the number of potential appeals.&lt;/p&gt;
  3060. &lt;p&gt;The following year, on June 13, 1997, a jury recommended that Timothy McVeigh be sentenced to death.&lt;/p&gt;
  3061. &lt;p&gt;His post-conviction challenges were rejected by the courts, including the United States Supreme Court.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3062. &lt;p&gt;Before McVeigh, 33, was executed by lethal injection on June 11 2001, in Terre Haute, Indiana, he stayed silent and issued no form of apology.&lt;/p&gt;
  3063. &lt;/div&gt;
  3064. &lt;/div&gt;
  3065. &lt;/div&gt;
  3067.  
  3068.  
  3069.  
  3070. &lt;p&gt;After a helicopter dash, he was arrested at the court house.&lt;/p&gt;
  3071.  
  3072.  
  3073.  
  3074. &lt;p&gt;The FBI learnt that McVeigh was close to two former army buddies – Terry Nichols and Michael Fortier. &lt;/p&gt;
  3075.  
  3076.  
  3077.  
  3078. &lt;p&gt;All three were very anti-government.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3079.  
  3080.  
  3081.  
  3082. &lt;p&gt;At Nichols’ home there was a lot of evidence of bomb construction, including a large amount of nitrate ammonium. &lt;/p&gt;
  3083.  
  3084.  
  3085.  
  3086. &lt;p&gt;A pre-paid phone card found there helped police trace the bombers&amp;#8217; movements, including where they stopped to buy the components.&lt;/p&gt;
  3087.  
  3088.

  3090. &lt;p&gt;Fortier was charged with having prior knowledge about the bombing and agreed to testify against McVeigh and Nichols in the hope of getting a lighter sentence.&lt;/p&gt;

  3102. &lt;p&gt;Interviewed in prison by The Buffalo News, McVeigh said he was bullied when he was younger for being skinny and as he got older became fascinated by guns and joined the army where he served in the first Gulf War. &lt;/p&gt;
  3103.  
  3104.  
  3105.  
  3106. &lt;p&gt;After leaving, he felt lost and became increasingly associated with anti-government, right-wing movements who believed that their rights for having guns were being gradually taken away.&lt;/p&gt;
  3107.  
  3108.  
  3109.  
  3110. &lt;p&gt;After Waco he felt a sense of purpose and told his interviewer that he had no personal gain from the bombing but wanted to spark a revolution.&lt;/p&gt;
  3111.  
  3112.  
  3113.  
  3114. &lt;p&gt;“This was something I saw as a larger good,” he said. “Waco started this war. Hopefully, Oklahoma would end it.” &lt;/p&gt;

  3132.  
  3133.  
  3134.  
  3135. &lt;p&gt;“I remember the day it was announced that they we were able to get to the area where the babies&amp;#8217; bodies were,” she says. “We were so overjoyed that they would find them. Not that he was alive, but they found him. &lt;/p&gt;
  3136.  
  3137.  
  3138.  
  3139. &lt;p&gt;“After that, at night, I would drive down to the prison where he (McVeigh) was and just sit out there in the dark, wondering how I could get in so I could hurt him.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3140.  
  3141.  
  3142.  
  3143. &lt;p&gt;On June 2, 1997, McVeigh was found guilty and sentenced to death. He was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/news/11107411/who-was-timothy-mcveigh-when-executed/&quot;&gt;executed by lethal injection&lt;/a&gt; on 11 June 2001.&lt;/p&gt;
  3144.  
  3145.  
  3146.  
  3147. &lt;p&gt;Nichols was convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence. Fortier spent ten years in prison and now lives with his wife in the Federal Witness Protection Program.&lt;/p&gt;
  3148.  
  3149.  
  3150.  
  3151. &lt;p&gt;“I didn’t want [McVeigh] to die when they decided to execute him,” says Renee. “I wanted to protest. It’s not right. It’s not fair. He has taken the easy road out. We have to live with this. He doesn’t.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3152.

  3237.  
  3238.  
  3239.  
  3240. &lt;p&gt;The video shows him kissing rapper Sexyy Red on the cheek during her 27th birthday celebrations.&lt;/p&gt;
  3241.  
  3242.  
  3243.  
  3244. &lt;p&gt;Posting the clip to Instagram, Sexyy Red &amp;#8211; real name Janae Wherry &amp;#8211; captioned: &amp;#8220;My two personalities&amp;#8230; thanks for comin friend @justinbieber.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3245.  
  3246.  
  3247.  
  3248. &lt;p&gt;She concluded: &amp;#8220;HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 DA BADDEST.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3249.  
  3250.  
  3251.  
  3252. &lt;p&gt;Writing online, Justin&amp;#8217;s fans soon showed their disapproval regarding the kiss.&lt;/p&gt;
  3253.  
  3254.  
  3255.  
  3256. &lt;p&gt;One remarked: &amp;#8220;Kissing a friend on the cheek as a married man is a lil much… idk.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3257.  
  3258.  
  3259.  
  3260. &lt;p&gt;A second person penned: &amp;#8220;lowkey gives red more attention than he does to hailey.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3261.  
  3262.  
  3263.  
  3264. &lt;p&gt;A third shared: &amp;#8220;imagining hailey&amp;#8217;s reaction to this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3265.  
  3266.  
  3267.  
  3268. &lt;p&gt;A fourth chimed in: &amp;#8220;Hailey come get your man.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3269.  
  3270.  
  3271.  
  3272. &lt;p&gt;Another commented on Instagram: &amp;#8220;Justin don&amp;#8217;t be smiling like that with his girl&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3273.  
  3274.  
  3275.

  3324. &lt;p&gt;Justin and Hailey go way back as she met him when she was just 12 years old during a 2009&amp;nbsp;Today&amp;nbsp;show appearance. &lt;/p&gt;
  3325. &lt;p&gt;In 2011, the two were pictured together along with Hailey&amp;#8217;s father at Justin&amp;#8217;s Never Say Never documentary premiere where she called him &amp;#8220;cute.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  3326. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;November 2014&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3327. &lt;ul&gt;
  3328. &lt;li&gt;Dating rumors began after they were spotted together at a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15004821/who-hillsong-founder-brian-houston/&quot;&gt;Hillsong Church&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;service.&lt;/li&gt;
  3329. &lt;li&gt;During an interview with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eonline.com/news/604336/hailey-baldwin-addresses-justin-bieber-romance-rumors-find-out-if-the-model-and-singer-are-dating&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;E! News&lt;/a&gt;, Hailey denied they were together.&lt;/li&gt;
  3330. &lt;li&gt;They also rung in 2015 together.&lt;/li&gt;
  3331. &lt;/ul&gt;
  3332. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;December 2015&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3333. &lt;ul&gt;
  3334. &lt;li&gt;Dating rumors surfaced again after Hailey was spotted on vacation with Justin and his family in Tulum, Mexico.&lt;/li&gt;
  3335. &lt;li&gt;Later that month, they&amp;nbsp;rang in the New Year again, but this time, they were spotted kissing at&amp;nbsp;Leonardo DiCaprio&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;New Year&amp;#8217;s Eve party in St. Barts, according to People.&lt;/li&gt;
  3336. &lt;/ul&gt;
  3337. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 2016&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  3339. &lt;li&gt;Justin and Hailey acknowledged that they were in a relationship, but made it clear they were not exclusive.&lt;/li&gt;
  3340. &lt;li&gt;During another interview with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eonline.com/news/739037/hailey-baldwin-sets-the-record-straight-on-justin-bieber-romance-rumors-we-are-not-an-exclusive-couple&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;E! News&lt;/a&gt;, Hailey said that the pair were &amp;#8220;not an exclusive couple,&amp;#8221; adding, &amp;#8220;relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don&amp;#8217;t really like to talk about it because it&amp;#8217;s between me and him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  3341. &lt;li&gt;As for Justin, he spoke with GQ saying that Hailey was &amp;#8220;someone I really love&amp;#8221; but starting a serious relationship was not a good idea because there was already &amp;#8220;a lot that [he had] to commit to,&amp;#8221; including a tour.&lt;/li&gt;
  3342. &lt;li&gt;Later that year, the pair split in a &amp;#8220;very dramatic excommunication,&amp;#8221; according to People.&lt;/li&gt;
  3343. &lt;/ul&gt;
  3344. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 2018&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3345. &lt;ul&gt;
  3346. &lt;li&gt;After Hailey and Justin called it quits, he got back together with&amp;nbsp;Selena Gomez, but in May 2018, the pair&amp;nbsp;called it quits for good.&lt;/li&gt;
  3347. &lt;li&gt;A few weeks later, Justin got back together with Hailey.&lt;/li&gt;
  3348. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;The common denominator, I promise you, is always church,&amp;#8221; Hailey told Vogue, via People.&lt;/li&gt;
  3349. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;By then we were past the drama. I just gave him a hug. By the end of the conference, he was like, &amp;#8216;We&amp;#8217;re not going to be friends.&amp;#8217; I was like, &amp;#8216;We&amp;#8217;re not?&amp;#8217; &amp;#8220;&lt;/li&gt;
  3350. &lt;li&gt;The pair went on to have a number of PDA-filled public appearances, confirming their relationship was back on.&lt;/li&gt;
  3351. &lt;/ul&gt;
  3352. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;July 2018&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3353. &lt;ul&gt;
  3354. &lt;li&gt;Justin and Hailey announced their engagement.&lt;/li&gt;
  3355. &lt;li&gt;He popped the question during a romantic dinner in the&amp;nbsp;Bahamas&amp;nbsp;while they were on vacation, according to People.&lt;/li&gt;
  3356. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindly,&amp;#8221; Justin said in an Instagram post. &lt;/li&gt;
  3357. &lt;/ul&gt;
  3358. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 2018&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3359. &lt;ul&gt;
  3360. &lt;li&gt;On September 13, 2018,&amp;nbsp;Hailey and Justin tied the knot&amp;nbsp;during a courthouse wedding in&amp;nbsp;New York City.&lt;/li&gt;
  3361. &lt;/ul&gt;
  3362. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;November 2018&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3363. &lt;ul&gt;
  3364. &lt;li&gt;Hailey changed her last name on social media from Hailey Rhode Baldwin to Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber.&lt;/li&gt;
  3365. &lt;/ul&gt;
  3366. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 2019&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3367. &lt;ul&gt;
  3368. &lt;li&gt;Hailey and Justin had a&amp;nbsp;wedding&amp;nbsp;ceremony in front of their friends and family at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton,&amp;nbsp;South Carolina.&lt;/li&gt;
  3369. &lt;/ul&gt;
  3370. &lt;/div&gt;
  3371. &lt;/div&gt;
  3372. &lt;/div&gt;
  3374.  
  3375.  
  3376.  
  3377. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.tmz.com/2025/03/31/hailey-bieber-unfollowed-justin-bieber-instagram-glitch/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;TMZ&lt;/a&gt;, Hailey did not unfollow her husband even though he had vanished from the list of accounts she follows.&lt;/p&gt;
  3378.  
  3379.  
  3380.  
  3381. &lt;p&gt;Sources told the outlet it was actually just a &amp;#8220;technical glitch&amp;#8221; that was caused by Justin briefly deactivating his account.&lt;/p&gt;
  3382.  
  3383.  
  3384.  
  3385. &lt;p&gt;The star was said to have switched it off momentarily before reinstating it, which caused him to disappear from EVERYONE&amp;#8217;S list of follows.&lt;/p&gt;
  3386.  
  3387.  
  3388.  
  3389. &lt;p&gt;Hailey later confirmed the explanation, writing underneath a TikTok about the situation, &amp;#8220;Didn&amp;#8217;t unfollow him. Hope this helps!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3455. &lt;p&gt;The eggs were delivered on Wednesday to her ex-boyfriend&amp;#8217;s new partner, Mirian Lira, who shared them out with her kids.&lt;/p&gt;
  3456.  
  3457.  
  3458.  
  3459. &lt;p&gt;A motorbike courier reportedly turned up with the tainted treats along with a note reading: &amp;#8220;With love, to Mirian Lira.

  3463. &lt;p&gt;Mirian&amp;#8217;s son, Luis Fernando Rocha Silva reportedly fell ill immediately after eating the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34518034/toblerone-discontinues-iconic-chocolate-bar/&quot;&gt;chocolate&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; prompting his mum to rush them to the Imperatriz City &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs-crisis/&quot;&gt;Hospital&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3464.

  3469.  
  3470.  
  3471. &lt;p&gt;Mirian, 32, and her thirteen-year-old daughter also became sick and remain in a critical condition in hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  3472.  
  3473.  
  3474.  
  3475. &lt;p&gt;The bereaved mum reportedly received an anonymous call after the delivery asking if the package had arrived.&lt;/p&gt;
  3476.  
  3477.  
  3478.  
  3479. &lt;p&gt;Samples of the chocolate have been sent off for forensic analysis to confirm whether it is toxic.&lt;/p&gt;

  3482.  
  3483. &lt;p&gt;Cops arrested Jordélia as she took a bus to her home town Santa Ines after staying in a hotel 200 miles away in Imperatiz, where the victim family lives.&lt;/p&gt;

  3488.  
  3489.

  3520.

  3524.  
  3525.  
  3526.  
  3527. &lt;p&gt;Maurício Martins, a local security official, told news outlet G1: &amp;#8220;The evidence suggests, based on several points investigated, that the crime was motivated by revenge and jealousy, given that the author&amp;#8217;s ex-husband is the current partner or boyfriend of the victim, who was poisoned along with her two children.&lt;/p&gt;

  3622.  
  3623.  
  3624.  
  3625. &lt;p&gt;And he will face former WBC middleweight world champion Chavez Jr &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29368085/jake-paul-boxing-julio-cesar-chavez-jr/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;son of one of Mexico&amp;#8217;s most celebrated fighters&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; on June 28 in California.&lt;/p&gt;
  3626.  
  3627.  
  3628.  
  3629. &lt;p&gt;Paul, 28, posted: &amp;#8220;Five years ago, I stepped into the ring for my pro debut after 1 amateur fight, and every fight since has been a step towards becoming world champion. &lt;/p&gt;
  3630.  
  3631.  
  3632.  
  3633. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I just defeated the baddest man on the planet and broke multiple records, and now I’m going against a former world champion with 54 wins who Canelo could barely beat. &lt;/p&gt;
  3634.  
  3635.  
  3636.  
  3637. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Chávez Jr. is Mexican, but I, El Gallo De Dorado, mexi-CAN knock him tf out. &lt;/p&gt;
  3638.  
  3639.  
  3640.  
  3641. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On Saturday, June 28, live on DAZN pay-per-view, I will defeat Julio and make Chávez Sr. proud in ways Jr. never has. Viva La Puerto Rico.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  3642.  
  3643.  
  3644.  
  3645. &lt;p&gt;The bout will be contested at the 200lb cruiserweight limit, over ten rounds, on DAZN PPV at the Honda Center in Anaheim. &lt;/p&gt;
  3646.  
  3647.  
  3648.  
  3649. &lt;p&gt;Paul&amp;#8217;s only defeat in the ring came via split-decision against Tommy Fury, 25, in February 2023 in Saudi Arabia.&lt;/p&gt;
  3650.  
  3651.  
  3652.  
  3653. &lt;p&gt;But he has won five since, most recently up at heavyweight against Tyson &amp;#8211; who came out of retirement aged 58 for his first pro fight in &lt;strong&gt;20 YEARS&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3654.

  3662.  
  3663.  
  3664.  
  3665. &lt;p&gt;Paul won on points with&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31818724/netflix-boxing-mike-tyson-jake-paul-viewing-figures/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; over 100 MILLION watching on Netflix&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; in what was the streaming service&amp;#8217;s first live boxing event.&lt;/p&gt;
  3666.  
  3667.  
  3668.  
  3669. &lt;p&gt;But now the American will drop back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit to face Chavez. &lt;/p&gt;
  3670.  
  3671.  
  3672.  
  3673. &lt;p&gt;The Mexican &amp;#8211; son of the legendary Chavez Sr &amp;#8211; held the middleweight title for three defences from 2011-2012 including a win over Andy Lee.&lt;/p&gt;
  3674.  
  3675.  
  3676.  
  3677. &lt;p&gt;He also went the distance in a pay-per-view points loss to Canelo Alvarez in 2017 and has suffered inconsistent for since. &lt;/p&gt;
  3678.  
  3679.  
  3680.  
  3681. &lt;p&gt;Chavez lost an embarrassing decision to UFC great Anderson Silva, 50, in 2021, a year after Paul beat the Brazilian himself.&lt;/p&gt;
  3682.  
  3683.  
  3684.  
  3685. &lt;p&gt;But Chavez has bounced back with two victories since &amp;#8211; most recently on Paul&amp;#8217;s undercard against ex-UFC star Uriah Hall last July. &lt;/p&gt;
  3686.  
  3687.  
  3688.  
  3689. &lt;p&gt;He has been linked with fighting Paul for three years now &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17110835/jake-paul-next-fight-fury-chavez-jr/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;with talks dating back to 2021.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3690.

  3695. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  3696. &lt;p&gt;I just defeated the baddest man on the planet and broke multiple records, and now I’m going against a former world champion with 54 wins who Canelo could barely beat. &lt;/p&gt;
  3697. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;
  3698. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Jake Paul &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;

  3700. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  3701. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706. &lt;p&gt;Chavez &amp;#8211; who claimed he turned down around $3million (£2.3m) &amp;#8211; said he would &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17154968/julio-cesar-chavez-jr-fight-jake-paul-retire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;RETIRE from boxing if he lost to Paul.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3707.  
  3708.  
  3709.  
  3710. &lt;p&gt;He again called out the social media sensation last summer &amp;#8211; with WBA president Gilberto Mendoza stating he would sanction the fight for a belt. &lt;/p&gt;
  3711.  
  3712.  
  3713.  
  3714. &lt;p&gt;But Paul talked down the bout with Chavez and any token title &amp;#8211; stating he wanted a &amp;#8220;tougher fight&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  3715.  
  3716.  
  3717.  
  3718. &lt;p&gt;He was in talks to face Canelo, 34, in May in Las Vegas with the two close to announcing a shock bout. &lt;/p&gt;
  3719.  
  3720.  
  3721.  
  3722. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33336848/jake-paul-fight-canelo-alvarez-netflix/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;But Canelo walked away at the last minute&lt;/a&gt; to instead sign a four-fight deal with Saudi Arabia&amp;#8217;s Turki Alalshikh.&lt;/p&gt;
  3723.  
  3724.  
  3725.  
  3726. &lt;p&gt;Paul&amp;#8217;s camp then began negotiating for an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34280599/mike-tyson-jake-paul-fight-boxing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;exhibition against WBA lightweight champ Gervonta Davis&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; despite the &lt;strong&gt;SIX STONE&lt;/strong&gt; weight difference.&lt;/p&gt;
  3727.  
  3728.  
  3729.  
  3730. &lt;p&gt;But Davis, 30, is set to rematch Lamont Roach, 29, in the summer following their controversial March draw. &lt;/p&gt;
  3731.  
  3732.  
  3733.  
  3734. &lt;p&gt;So Paul went back to the well to fight 54–6–1-1 veteran Chavez.&lt;/p&gt;
  3735.  
  3736.  
  3737.

  3784. &lt;p&gt;CELEBRITY Big Brother legend Tiffany Pollard has insisted Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa WILL have sex after the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  3785.  
  3786.  
  3787.  
  3788. &lt;p&gt;The US reality favourite appeared on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-16-aKhbS8&amp;amp;feature=youtu.be&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot;&gt;Celebrity Big Brother Breakdown with The Sun&lt;/a&gt; and revealed there is more than friendship between &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dance-moms/&quot;&gt;Dance Moms&lt;/a&gt; star JoJo and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-hughes/&quot;&gt;Chris Hughes&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  3801.  
  3802.  
  3803.  
  3804. &lt;p&gt;Last night, viewers saw JoJo give Chris a back scratch before later that night she climbed into bed with him and said her experience in the house wouldn&amp;#8217;t have been the same without him. &lt;/p&gt;
  3805.  
  3806.  
  3807.  
  3808. &lt;p&gt;Tiffany, 43, has now spilled the tea on what she thinks will happen when the duo leaves the show without the cameras on them. &lt;/p&gt;
  3809.  
  3810.  
  3811.  
  3812. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;Let me go on the record for saying it&amp;#8217;s gonna go straight to the bedroom because there&amp;#8217;s a lot of emotions involved and when you build yourself up that much on getting to know someone and it&amp;#8217;s more than just a physical situation and it&amp;#8217;s more like they&amp;#8217;re sharing a lot of time together back rubs and massages, that&amp;#8217;s all physical.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3813.  
  3814.  
  3815.  
  3816. &lt;p&gt;Tiffany admitted that there connection goes beyond a platonic level &amp;#8211; after striking up an emotional bond.&lt;/p&gt;
  3817.  
  3818.  
  3819.  
  3820. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There&amp;#8217;s a lot of conversations that they&amp;#8217;re having as well and when you&amp;#8217;re involved emotionally with someone like that,&amp;#8221; Tiffany said.&lt;/p&gt;
  3821.  
  3822.  
  3823.  
  3824. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The &lt;span id=&quot;254acb77-45fb-41ac-a8f3-27cacbeb3635&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; step is just to explore the rest. So I&amp;#8217;m here for it.&lt;/p&gt;
  3825.  
  3826.  
  3827.  
  3828. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I hope I can be a fly on the wall when they get down for the first time.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3829.  
  3830.  
  3831.  
  3832. &lt;p&gt;It comes as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; viewers were left&lt;span&gt; horrified as they watched the rather &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34508815/watch-moment-jojo-strokes-chris-bed/&quot;&gt;intimate moment &lt;/a&gt;between JoJo and Chris.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3833.  
  3834.  
  3835.  
  3836. &lt;p&gt;The&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jojo-siwa/&quot;&gt; American singer &lt;/a&gt;jumped into bed with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-hughes/&quot;&gt;Chris &lt;/a&gt;and proceeded to stroke his arm as they spoke about their recent rule breaking.&lt;/p&gt;

  3860. &lt;p&gt;Those watching at home have been left baffled by their antics and tonight begged bosses to make it stop.&lt;/p&gt;
  3861.  
  3862.  
  3863.  
  3864. &lt;p&gt;One person wrote: “I can’t cope with Chris and Jojo anymore.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3865.  
  3866.  
  3867.  
  3868. &lt;p&gt;A second said: “It’s doing my head in now this Chris and JoJo weirdness … he fancies her but he knows she is with someone etc etc etc.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3869.  
  3870.  
  3871.  
  3872. &lt;p&gt;While a third added: “I swear to god if this episode is nothing but chris and jojo’s freaky relationship AGAIN.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3873.  
  3874.  
  3875.  
  3876. &lt;p&gt;The 21-year-old American pop star is dating&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/13987765/jojo-siwa-partner-kath-ebbs/&quot;&gt;, Kath Ebbs&lt;/a&gt;, a 27-year-old Australian influencer, actor and LGBTQ+ advocate.&lt;/p&gt;
  3877.  
  3878.  
  3879.  
  3880. &lt;p&gt;The Aussie influencer identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns and went official with their relationship with JoJo in January.&lt;/p&gt;
  3881.  
  3882.  
  3883.  
  3884. &lt;p&gt;Fans watching&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id=&quot;86211255-f255-4840-998d-7b7a2584e9e1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Celebrity&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/big-brother/&quot;&gt;Big Brother&lt;/a&gt; have watched as JoJo and Chris have become fast friends, with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34383758/jojo-siwa-partner-breaks-silence-cbb-mickey-slur/&quot;&gt;latter stepping in to defend the singer after actor Mickey Rourke used homophobic language against her&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3885.  
  3886.  
  3887.  
  3888. &lt;p&gt;But in more recent days, JoJo and Chris have become more affectionate towards each other with some speculating it was flirty behaviour and he might be falling for her.&lt;/p&gt;
  3889.  
  3890.  
  3891.  
  3892. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this week JoJo opened up to Big Brother about her gender identity.&lt;/p&gt;
  3893.  
  3894.  
  3895.  
  3896. &lt;p&gt;She explained:&amp;nbsp; “It’s something that I’m not ready necessarily to be open about or upfront about but it has to do with gender and how do I feel.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3897.  
  3898.  
  3899.  
  3900. &lt;p&gt;“Let’s put it this way. Oh my God, this is a lot. Essentially, you have female, you have male. I’ve met a lot of females and love them but don’t feel like I’m them. Met a lot of males, love them but definitely not them,&amp;#8221; JoJo explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  3901.  
  3902.  
  3903.  
  3904. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve met a lot of people in my life that are non-binary and these beautiful non-binary people are who I feel the most like. It’s not something that I want to say about myself yet but it’s something that is confusing. So, that’s probably why we were talking about it last night.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3980. &lt;p&gt;MANCHESTER UNITED could need to win the Europa League to sign one of their top targets this summer &amp;#8211; but the stats experts reckon their chances are slim.&lt;/p&gt;
  3981.  
  3982.  
  3983.  
  3984. &lt;p&gt;The Red Devils booked their spot in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europa-league/&quot;&gt;Europa League&lt;/a&gt; semi-finals with a heroic comeback win over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1504303/lyon/&quot;&gt;Lyon&lt;/a&gt; on Thursday night, sealing a clash with Athletic Bilbao in the final four.&lt;/p&gt;

  3993.  
  3994.  
  3995.  
  3996. &lt;p&gt;United overturned a two goal deficit with &lt;strong&gt;THREE &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34530825/man-united-europa-league-lyon-maguire-amorim-dalot/&quot;&gt;extra-time goals in a dramatic 5-4 turnaround&lt;/a&gt; sealed by a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/harry-maguire/&quot;&gt;Harry Maguire&lt;/a&gt; header in the dying embers.&lt;/p&gt;
  3997.  
  3998.  
  3999.  
  4000. &lt;p&gt;But despite their monster status in world &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; and their momentum from the magic comeback, they are still &lt;strong&gt;THIRD &lt;/strong&gt;favourites to win the competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  4001.  
  4002.  
  4003.  
  4004. &lt;p&gt;That&amp;#8217;s because &lt;a href=&quot;https://theanalyst.com/2025/04/europa-league-predictions-opta-2024-25&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Opta's supercomputer (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Opta&amp;#8217;s supercomputer&lt;/a&gt; reckons both Tottenham and Athletic Bilbao have a better chance of lifting the trophy than &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s side.&lt;/p&gt;
  4005.  
  4006.  
  4007.  
  4008. &lt;p&gt;After simulating the remainder of the Europa League 10,000 times, Opta have given the Red Devils 24.2 per cent of winning the tournament, only bettering the 12.4 per cent chance held by Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt.&lt;/p&gt;
  4009.  
  4010.  
  4011.  
  4012. &lt;p&gt;While Athletic Bilbao are thought to be second favourites with 28.5 per cent chance of success, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; rivals Spurs are the most likely to end their 17-year wait for silverware &amp;#8211; given a 34.9 per cent chance of becoming European champions.&lt;/p&gt;
  4013.  
  4014.  
  4015.  
  4016. &lt;p&gt;Falling short of success in Europe would make United&amp;#8217;s season even worse than it already is.&lt;/p&gt;
  4017.  
  4018.  
  4019.  
  4020. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/old-trafford/&quot;&gt;Old Trafford&lt;/a&gt; outfit have already confirmed their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34478815/ruben-amorim-man-utd-ferguson-europa-league/&quot;&gt;worst ever Premier League points return&lt;/a&gt; and crashed out of both domestic cups.&lt;/p&gt;
  4021.  
  4022.  
  4023.  
  4024. &lt;p&gt;But it&amp;#8217;s not just this season that failure could affect, but also the coming campaigns too.&lt;/p&gt;

  4033.  
  4034.  
  4035.  
  4036. &lt;p&gt;That&amp;#8217;s because winning the Europa League comes with a place in next season&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/champions-league/&quot;&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; a prize worth at least &lt;strong&gt;£80MILLION&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4037.  
  4038.  
  4039.  
  4040. &lt;p&gt;And according to &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/44728953/man-united-chase-tyler-dibling-win-europa-league-sources&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;ESPN&lt;/a&gt;, Man Utd&amp;#8217;s interest in signing £100m-rated Southampton star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tyler-dibling/&quot;&gt;Tyler Dibling&lt;/a&gt; will come down to whether they can top up their bank balance with European success.&lt;/p&gt;

  4064. &lt;p&gt;United are reportedly keen on signing the 19-year-old, who has also been linked to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt;, Man City, Tottenham, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1249869/bayern-munich/&quot;&gt;Bayern Munich&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/2339340/rb-leipzig/&quot;&gt;RB Leipzig&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4065.  
  4066.  
  4067.  
  4068. &lt;p&gt;However Saints have slapped a £100m asking price on the winger, who has scored two goals and registered one assist in 28 Premier League appearances this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  4069.  
  4070.  
  4071.  
  4072. &lt;p&gt;Man Utd chiefs are keen to bring in new talent up front and in midfield in the summer, areas that will have to take priority if they are unable to earn extra cash by winning the Europa League.&lt;/p&gt;

  4117.  
  4118.  
  4119.  
  4120.  
  4121. &lt;p&gt;IF you believe the jumps trainers’ championship is all about who wins this season, then think again.&lt;/p&gt;
  4122.  
  4123.  
  4124.  
  4125. &lt;p&gt;There is much more at stake here than people have grasped.&lt;/p&gt;
  4126.  
  4127.  
  4128.  
  4129. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34524952&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/2025/04/trainer-willie-mullins-winning-randox-984990147.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Trainer Willie Mullins being interviewed.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34524952&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;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Expect Willie Mullins to go for a third British jumps trainer title if he wins a second this year &amp;#8211; and a shot at history[/caption]
  4130.  
  4131.  
  4132.  
  4133. &lt;p&gt;A coveted spot in the record books and the chance to make racing history awaits Willie Mullins should he deny Dan Skelton his first trainers&amp;#8217; championship by the end of next week.&lt;/p&gt;
  4134.  
  4135.  
  4136.  
  4137. &lt;p&gt;Last term, from his Closutton base, Mullins achieved what Vincent O&amp;#8217;Brien had done in 1953-4 when he took the title of British champion back to the Emerald Isle.&lt;/p&gt;
  4138.  
  4139.  
  4140.  
  4141. &lt;p&gt;O&amp;#8217;Brien, seen by many as the greatest racehorse handler of all time, also managed to top the table in 1952-3.&lt;/p&gt;
  4142.  
  4143.  
  4144.  
  4145. &lt;p&gt;So if Mullins achieves a second consecutive championship it sets him up for a hat-trick and history.&lt;/p&gt;
  4146.  
  4147.  
  4148.  
  4149. &lt;p&gt;That won&amp;#8217;t be lost on the perennial Irish main man, whose family is already steeped in racing myth.&lt;/p&gt;
  4150.  
  4151.  
  4152.  
  4153. &lt;p&gt;It’s also not a good omen for Skelton.&lt;/p&gt;
  4154.  
  4155.  
  4156.  
  4157. &lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t imagine any scenario in which three consecutive championships wouldn&amp;#8217;t be something Mullins would relish.&lt;/p&gt;
  4158.  
  4159.  
  4160.  
  4161. &lt;p&gt;A legacy that could last forever. From hero record-breaker to God, at least in racing terms.&lt;/p&gt;
  4162.  
  4163.  
  4164.  
  4165. &lt;p&gt;Plumpton’s Easter weekend fixtures, Perth next week and finally Sandown a week today will be key to who becomes champion jumps trainer this term.&lt;/p&gt;
  4166.  
  4167.  
  4168.  
  4169. &lt;p&gt;At this stage it would appear the title will be won and lost on the very last day of the jumps season.&lt;/p&gt;
  4170.  
  4171.  
  4172.  
  4173. &lt;p&gt;This weekend’s TV racing comes from Musselburgh and Haydock, but in many ways it’s the calm before the Classic storm at Newmarket in the first week of May.&lt;/p&gt;
  4174.  
  4175.  
  4176.  
  4177. &lt;p&gt;I was totally blown away by Field of Gold in Wednesday’s best365 Craven Stakes and I was stunned when he was still available at 7-2 after his blitzing annihilation of Wimbledon Hawkeye and Aomori City.&lt;/p&gt;
  4178.  
  4179.  
  4180.  
  4181. &lt;p&gt;Let’s not forget that Wimbledon Hawkeye was a decent third in the Group 1 William Hill Futurity at the end of last season, and Aomori City was a fast finishing third in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.&lt;/p&gt;
  4182.  
  4183.  
  4184.  
  4185. &lt;p&gt;That’s top class juvenile form and Field of Gold rinsed them on his return, giving them ground and spitting them out close home like an unwanted grape pip.&lt;/p&gt;
  4186.  
  4187.  
  4188.  
  4189. &lt;p&gt;Field of Gold is now top-priced at 3-1 for the 2000 Guineas, and I really hope he wins it for John &amp;amp; Thady Gosden and Kieran Shoemark.&lt;/p&gt;
  4190.  
  4191.  
  4192.  
  4193. &lt;p&gt;It’s quite incredible that Gosden Snr has never won the 2000 Guineas, for all he went close with Field of Gold’s sire Kingman.&lt;/p&gt;
  4194.  
  4195.  
  4196.  
  4197. &lt;p&gt;As for Shoemark, he’s had to sit and suffer while some of Gosden’s owners have dissed him, but that’s their loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  4198.  
  4199.  
  4200.  
  4201. &lt;p&gt;Juddmonte seem to understand his skills, and Shoemark has a natural talent that is bang up there with anyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  4202.  
  4203.  
  4204.  
  4205. &lt;p&gt;The coolness he showed on Field of Gold to weave through the pack was something special.&lt;/p&gt;
  4206.  
  4207.  
  4208.  
  4209. &lt;p&gt;Of course the Guineas will be no ‘shoe-in’, but I for one would love Shoemark to land the prize.&lt;/p&gt;
  4210.  
  4211.  
  4212.  
  4213. &lt;p&gt;Gosden revealed to me at Newmarket that Shoemark’s Group 1 heroine from last year Friendly Soul is likely to face a clash with star miler Rosallion in the Boylesports Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on May 17.&lt;/p&gt;
  4214.  
  4215.  
  4216.  
  4217. &lt;p&gt;It promises to be a cracking renewal, and ultimately Friendly Soul will be going further after her success in the Group 1 Prix de l’Opera over Arc weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  4218.  
  4219.  
  4220.  
  4221. &lt;p&gt;However, she’s a high class filly and not one to be dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;
  4222.  
  4223.  
  4224.  
  4225. &lt;p&gt;The big race on Easter Bank Holiday Monday is the Boylesports Irish Grand National Chase over 3m5f at Fairyhouse.&lt;/p&gt;
  4226.  
  4227.  
  4228.  
  4229. &lt;p&gt;At the time of writing I still don’t know the final field, but one I will be hoping is declared is Daily Present, trained by Paul Nolan.&lt;/p&gt;
  4230.  
  4231.  
  4232.  
  4233. &lt;p&gt;Daily Present is around a 12-1 shot on the back of his defeat of Johnnywho in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham.&lt;/p&gt;
  4234.  
  4235.  
  4236.  
  4237. &lt;p&gt;He’s up 7lb for that, but is on much better form than when pulled up in the contest last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  4238.  
  4239.  
  4240.  
  4241. &lt;p&gt;As for today I’m hoping for a decent effort from Zowal in the handicap for 3yo over 1m at Musselburgh.&lt;/p&gt;
  4242.  
  4243.  
  4244.  
  4245. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://fragments.sunracingtech.uk/best_price?horse=zowal&amp;#038;date=2025-04-19&amp;#038;time=13%3A50&amp;#038;course=musselburgh&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; mobile_height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 300px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  4246.  
  4247.  
  4248.  
  4249. &lt;p&gt;The draw is usually crucial here with low numbers favoured.&lt;/p&gt;
  4250.  
  4251.  
  4252.  
  4253. &lt;p&gt;On paper a few of Zowal’s rivals look quite high in the handicap and that includes my John &amp;amp; Sean Quinn-trained contender.&lt;/p&gt;
  4254.  
  4255.  
  4256.  
  4257. &lt;p&gt;That said, the French import was really impressive at the Scottish venue 17 days ago and he is in an ideal spot in stall three to just track the leaders and kick on late in the day.&lt;/p&gt;
  4258.  
  4259.  
  4260.  
  4261. &lt;p&gt;There should be a gallop to run at with Hot Dancer in the line up so I will take the chance 84 is a fair mark. Good luck!&lt;/p&gt;

  4349.  
  4350. &lt;p&gt;MIKE TYSON has landed a new &amp;#8220;deeply personal&amp;#8221; job away from boxing. &lt;/p&gt;
  4351.  
  4352.  
  4353.  
  4354. &lt;p&gt;The 58-year-old, who was beaten in his controversial comeback fight by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jake-paul/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jake Paul&lt;/a&gt; in November, is the new CEO of Carma HoldCo.&lt;/p&gt;
  4355.  
  4356.  
  4357.  
  4358. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34540322&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/2025/04/mike-tyson-fights-live-netflix-949589880.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Mike Tyson after a boxing match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34540322&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;Mike Tyson has become CEO of Carma HoldCo[/caption]
  4359.  
  4360.  
  4361.  
  4362. &lt;p&gt;His new role comes amid a change in the holding company&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;strategic leadership&amp;#8221; set-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  4363.  
  4364.  
  4365.  
  4366. &lt;p&gt;Tyson already has close ties to Carma HoldCo as they are the parent business to his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/11309670/mike-tyson-cannabis-empire-ranch-weed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cannabis brand Tyson 2.0&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4367.  
  4368.  
  4369.  
  4370. &lt;p&gt;They also look after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/wwe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;WWE&lt;/a&gt; legend Ric Flair&amp;#8217;s similar weed-selling firm Drip.&lt;/p&gt;
  4371.  
  4372.  
  4373.  
  4374. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mike-tyson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Iron Mike&lt;/a&gt; said in a statement: &amp;#8220;Carma HoldCo was built on the belief that powerful stories and even more powerful products can change how people connect with wellness, entertainment and culture.&lt;/p&gt;
  4375.  
  4376.  
  4377.  
  4378. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This isn’t just a title — it’s a responsibility I take seriously. &lt;/p&gt;
  4379.  
  4380.  
  4381.  
  4382. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ve wanted to be more involved for a long time and now is the right time to take that step.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4383.  
  4384.  
  4385.  
  4386. &lt;p&gt;“I’m fully committed to making sure everything we create stays true to who we are while growing in new and exciting ways.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4387.  
  4388.  
  4389.  
  4390. &lt;p&gt;Carma HoldCo added that the new role was &amp;#8220;a deeply personal progression for Tyson himself&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4391.  
  4392.

  4395.  
  4396.  
  4397.  
  4398. &lt;p&gt;And they claimed his increased input would strengthen &amp;#8220;brand authenticity, creativity and meaningful consumer experiences&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4399.  
  4400.  
  4401.  
  4402. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Tyson is said to be&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/9720855/mike-tyson-cannabis-ranch/&quot;&gt;earning around £500,000 every month&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;via his cannabis business that offers premium marijuana strains and edibles&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4435.  
  4436.

  4490. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THERE’S a live eviction happening on Celebrity Big Brother tonight (April 18, 2025), just a couple of days after another celeb got the boot thanks to the public vote.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  4511.  
  4512.  
  4513.  
  4514. &lt;p&gt;The latest series of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; reality show kicked off with 13 celebs just a week and a half ago, but three have already gone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4515.  
  4516.  
  4517.  
  4518. &lt;p&gt;That includes two &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34469632/celebrity-big-brother-double-eviction-housemates/&quot;&gt;evictions decided by the public&lt;/a&gt;, and one star who was removed by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34385149/watch-moment-mickey-rourke-apologise-jojo-siwa-homophobic-slur/&quot;&gt;Big Brother&lt;/a&gt; himself.&lt;/p&gt;
  4519.  
  4520.  
  4521.  
  4522. &lt;p&gt;So far, we&amp;#8217;ve said goodbye to former politician &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34471455/celeb-big-brother-itv-cut-mickey-rourke-homophobic-slurs/&quot;&gt;Michael Fabricant&lt;/a&gt; and talk show host &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34509359/cbb-feud-jack-p-shepherd-blanked-by-trisha-goddard/&quot;&gt;Trisha Goddard&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4523.  
  4524.  
  4525.  
  4526. &lt;p&gt;They were evicted in episodes 5 and 8, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
  4527.  
  4528.  
  4529.  
  4530. &lt;p&gt;As for episode 6, that took a dramatic turn when Oscar-nominated actor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34518048/mickey-rourke-politically-incorrect-celebrity-big-brother/&quot;&gt;Mickey Rourke&lt;/a&gt; was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34447682/mickey-rourke-leaves-celebrity-big-brother-row-chris-hughes/&quot;&gt;kicked out by Big Brother&lt;/a&gt; for unacceptable behaviour against singer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34487063/jojo-siwa-really-wrote-chris-hughes-hand/&quot;&gt;JoJo Siwa&lt;/a&gt; and a row with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34442259/cbb-mickey-rourke-full-details-rant-chris-hughes-axe/&quot;&gt;Chris Hughes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4531.  
  4532.  
  4533.  
  4534. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mickey-rourke/&quot;&gt;Mickey&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;was the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34261194/celebrity-big-brothers-rich-list-six-figure-salary/&quot;&gt;highest earing&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;celebrity&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;this series&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, with a £500,000 pay cheque.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4535.  
  4536.  
  4537.  
  4538. &lt;p&gt;However, he&amp;#8217;s now &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34492540/mickey-rourke-legal-action-itv-celebrity-big-brother-exit/&quot;&gt;threatened legal action&lt;/a&gt;, claiming he&amp;#8217;s entitled to the full fee despite being chucked off for inappropriate behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  4539.  
  4540.  
  4541.  
  4542. &lt;p&gt;It’s now between &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/eastenders/&quot;&gt;EastEnders&lt;/a&gt; legend &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34506013/celebrity-big-brother-fans-turn-on-patsy-palmer/&quot;&gt;Patsy Palmer&lt;/a&gt; and Olympian &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34521621/cbb-daley-thompson-david-beckham-rant/&quot;&gt;Daley Thompson&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4543.  
  4544.  
  4545.  
  4546. &lt;p&gt;They&amp;#8217;re both facing eviction after nominations came in thick and fast.&lt;/p&gt;
  4547.  
  4548.  
  4549.  
  4550. &lt;p&gt;Daley racked up four votes from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3951359/angellica-bell-who-is-married/&quot;&gt;Angellica Bell&lt;/a&gt;, Chris, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34533053/celebrity-big-brother-viewers-spot-huge-rule-break/&quot;&gt;Donna Preston&lt;/a&gt;, and Patsy, while Patsy topped that with five, courtesy of Angellica, Chris, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34529851/celebrity-big-brother-house-turns-danny-beard-jojo-siwa/&quot;&gt;Danny Beard&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34529051/celebrity-big-brother-family-threaten-file-complaint/&quot;&gt;Ella Rae Wise&lt;/a&gt;, and JoJo.&lt;/p&gt;

  4574. &lt;p&gt;According to the bookies, Daley’s the red-hot favourite to go at 1/5, while Patty’s sitting at 10/3, so she’s the underdog in this showdown.&lt;/p&gt;
  4575.  
  4576.  
  4577.  
  4578. &lt;p&gt;On April 10, 2025, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/tv/13916236/jojo-siwa-signs-up-for-celebrity-big-brother-itv/&quot;&gt;Big Brother&lt;/a&gt; announced three special powers which have been secretly wielded by housemates.&lt;/p&gt;
  4579.  
  4580.  
  4581.  
  4582. &lt;p&gt;Gathering the celebs by the sofas, Big Brother reveals: “Housemates. It’s time to nominate. Big Brother can reveal three game-changing powers that have been wielded in secret.&lt;/p&gt;
  4583.  
  4584.  
  4585.  
  4586. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One Housemate received the power of immunity and is now safe from the first eviction. The Housemate is Chris.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4587.

  4591.  
  4592.  
  4593.  
  4594. &lt;p&gt;“One Housemate used the Guardian Angel power to grant immunity to another Housemate from the first eviction — Daley.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4595.  
  4596.  
  4597.  
  4598. &lt;p&gt;“One Housemate had the Killer Nomination power and could choose one Housemate to face the first eviction. The Housemate chose Mickey.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4599.  
  4600.  
  4601.  
  4602. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When is the next CBB eviction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4603.  
  4604.  
  4605.  
  4606. &lt;p&gt;Another live eviction is on the cards for Friday, 18th April 2025.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4607.  
  4608.  
  4609.  
  4610. &lt;p&gt;The episode’s set to kick off at 9pm and will run for about 90 minutes, ad breaks included.&lt;/p&gt;
  4611.  
  4612.  
  4613.  
  4614. &lt;p&gt;That makes it one of the longer episodes we&amp;#8217;ve seen this series.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4615.  
  4616.  
  4617.  
  4618. &lt;p&gt;The live specials, like the launch night on 7th April and the evictions, usually run a bit longer than the regular ones.&lt;/p&gt;
  4619.  
  4620.  
  4621.

  4623.  
  4624.  
  4625.  
  4626. &lt;p&gt;The live eviction episode will run until 10:15 pm on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV1&lt;/a&gt;, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34364643/aj-odudu-breaks-silence-mickey-rourke-grab-cbb/&quot;&gt;hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best&lt;/a&gt; ready to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34390738/celebrity-big-brother-donna-preston-votes-jack-p-shepherd/&quot;&gt;greet the celeb who gets voted out&lt;/a&gt; by the public.&lt;/p&gt;
  4627.  
  4628.  
  4629.  
  4630. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34362754/first-cbb-eviction-just-hours-away-killer-nomination-twist/&quot;&gt;first eviction of Celebrity Big Brother 2025&lt;/a&gt; was scheduled for Friday, April 11, at 9 pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  4631.  
  4632.  
  4633.  
  4634. &lt;p&gt;This comes just four days after the series began on April 7.&lt;/p&gt;
  4635.  
  4636.  
  4637.  
  4638. &lt;p&gt;The second lot of evictions happened on April 15.&lt;/p&gt;
  4639.  
  4640.

  4642. &lt;p&gt;That said, The Sun can reveal how &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34517976/celebrity-big-brother-backdoor-eviction-twist/&quot;&gt;one star will be given the boot on Saturday&lt;/a&gt;, with their identity unbeknown to the public until Celebrity Big Brother airs on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;

  4646. &lt;p&gt;Last year, Heartstopper actor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bradley-riches/&quot;&gt;Bradley Riches&lt;/a&gt;, 23, was axed in secret &amp;#8211; with fans at the time &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26851953/celebrity-big-brother-ofcom-bradley-cuel-eviction/&quot;&gt;contacting broadcasting watchdog Ofcom &lt;/a&gt;over the &amp;#8220;cruel&amp;#8221; proceedings.&lt;/p&gt;
  4647.  
  4648.  
  4649.  
  4650. &lt;p&gt;The format of this year&amp;#8217;s backdoor eviction is, as yet, unclear.&lt;/p&gt;
  4651.  
  4652.  
  4653.  
  4654. &lt;p&gt;Some fans may be surprised to hear that you can no longer phone up to cast votes.&lt;/p&gt;
  4655.  
  4656.  
  4657.  
  4658. &lt;p&gt;To save your favourite contestants from eviction, you can follow these simple steps.&lt;/p&gt;
  4659.  
  4660.  
  4661.  
  4662. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online voting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4663.  
  4664.  
  4665.  
  4666. &lt;p&gt;To vote online, start by visiting&amp;nbsp;itv.com/vote&amp;nbsp;on your mobile, tablet or computer.&lt;/p&gt;
  4667.  
  4668.  
  4669.  
  4670. &lt;p&gt;Once there, select&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34386082/mickey-rourke-celebrity-big-brother-bosses-moneys-worth/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Celebrity Big Brother&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as your show option.&lt;/p&gt;
  4671.  
  4672.  
  4673.  
  4674. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re voting for the first time, you&amp;#8217;ll need to verify your UK mobile number.&lt;/p&gt;
  4675.  
  4676.  
  4677.  
  4678. &lt;p&gt;This will involve receiving a free text message with a passcode to complete the verification process.&lt;/p&gt;
  4679.  
  4680.  
  4681.  
  4682. &lt;p&gt;Once verified, you can cast up to&amp;nbsp;five votes per eviction.&lt;/p&gt;
  4683.  
  4684.  
  4685.  
  4686. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34402277&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/2025/04/initial-tv-reproduced-editorial-purposes-984737441_163ca5.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Image of a brightly colored bathroom with a large bathtub and two armchairs.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34402277&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;ITV&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Big Brother is announcing a new set of game-changing powers[/caption]
  4687.  
  4688.  
  4689.  
  4690. &lt;p&gt;This limit applies to each verified mobile number.&lt;/p&gt;
  4691.  
  4692.  
  4693.  
  4694. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voting via the app&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4695.  
  4696.  
  4697.  
  4698. &lt;p&gt;Alternatively, you can download the official&amp;nbsp;Big Brother UK&amp;nbsp;app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.&lt;/p&gt;
  4699.  
  4700.  
  4701.  
  4702. &lt;p&gt;Open the app and navigate to the Vote tab.&lt;/p&gt;
  4703.  
  4704.  
  4705.  
  4706. &lt;p&gt;Tap &amp;#8220;Vote Now&amp;#8221;, which redirects you to the online voting platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  4707.  
  4708.  
  4709.  
  4710. &lt;p&gt;From there, follow the same verification and voting process as outlined above.&lt;/p&gt;
  4711.  
  4712.  
  4713.  
  4714. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34401445&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/2025/04/jojo-siwa-diary-room-celebrity-985968941.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;JoJo Siwa in the diary room on Celebrity Big Brother.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34401445&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;JoJo delivered her nomination to the Rourke after his &amp;#8216;homophobic&amp;#8217; slur to her[/caption]
  4715.  
  4716.  
  4717.  
  4718. &lt;p&gt;The app provides a convenient way to keep up with the show and cast your votes on the go.&lt;/p&gt;
  4719.  
  4720.  
  4721.  
  4722. &lt;p&gt;Voting opens and closes during specific windows announced in each episode of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34397376/cbb-mickey-rourke-breaks-another-rule-nominations/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Celebrity Big Brother&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4723.  
  4724.  
  4725.  
  4726. &lt;p&gt;Keep an eye on the show for updates on when voting begins and ends.&lt;/p&gt;
  4727.  
  4728.  
  4729.  
  4730. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s also important to note that votes cannot be rolled over between events and must be used within the designated voting window.&lt;/p&gt;
  4731.  
  4732.  
  4733.  
  4734. &lt;p&gt;Each verified mobile number is allowed five votes per event, so you can use them strategically to support your favourite contestants.&lt;/p&gt;
  4735.  
  4736.  
  4737.  
  4738. &lt;p&gt;Whether you&amp;#8217;re voting online or via the app, every vote counts.&lt;/p&gt;
  4739.  
  4740.  
  4741.  
  4742. &lt;p&gt;Your support could really be the difference between a contestant staying or leaving the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34377825/celebrity-big-brother-house-lockdownmajor-security-breach/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Celebrity Big Brother house&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4823.  
  4824.  
  4825.  
  4826. &lt;p&gt;Faced with mountains of laundry, it&amp;#8217;s easy to want to get it on the airer as quickly as possible, rather than considering where it&amp;#8217;s hung, but these insights from The Folding Lady could save a lot of time.&lt;/p&gt;
  4827.  
  4828.

  4835.  
  4836.  
  4837.  
  4838. &lt;p&gt;When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33305072/save-cash-laundry-hacks-sun-savers/&quot;&gt;hanging up clothes&lt;/a&gt;, you should always start from the bottom level with the smallest items &amp;#8211; think socks and underwear &amp;#8211; followed by larger garments on the top rack.&lt;/p&gt;
  4839.  
  4840.  
  4841.  
  4842. &lt;p&gt;But when it comes to fine items, such as shirts, use hangers on the clothes horse to avoid stretching or damage, or ideally have a separate airer dedicated to delicates.&lt;/p&gt;
  4843.  
  4844.  
  4845.  
  4846. &lt;p&gt;It’s also important to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30696431/laundry-pro-free-hack-washing-outside-dry-all-year/&quot;&gt;hang clothes neatly&lt;/a&gt;, making sure they don’t overlap and aren’t thrown on in a rush, as stacking garments in an orderly fashion will result in more efficient drying.&lt;/p&gt;
  4847.  
  4848.  
  4849.  
  4850. &lt;p&gt;Sophie Liard, known best as The Folding Lady, teamed up with Lenor Outdoorable to share her tips on drying clothes indoors.&lt;/p&gt;
  4851.  
  4852.  
  4853.  
  4854. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;Take your time to dry your clothes properly to save in the long run and keep them smelling fresh.&lt;/p&gt;
  4855.  
  4856.  
  4857.  
  4858. &lt;p&gt;“Even if you live in a flat and have to dry garments inside or when those April showers come along, it doesn&amp;#8217;t mean&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/33998955/woman-washes-wardrobe-weekly/&quot;&gt; your clothes have to smell musty&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4859.  
  4860.  
  4861.  
  4862. &lt;p&gt;It comes after a poll of 2,000 adults found 30 per cent worry about clothes smelling damp when drying them indoors.&lt;/p&gt;
  4863.  
  4864.  
  4865.  
  4866. &lt;p&gt;A further 35 per cent claim this is a laundry ‘ick’.&lt;/p&gt;
  4867.  
  4868.  
  4869.  
  4870. &lt;p&gt;But it’s unavoidable for many, with 38 per cent admitting their airer is a permanent fixture in their home.&lt;/p&gt;
  4871.  
  4872.  
  4873.  
  4874. &lt;p&gt;Despite this, they’re grappling the ‘&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/33026500/bm-clothes-dryer-winter-saviour/&quot;&gt;clothes horse&lt;/a&gt; fear’ as 15 per cent feel self-conscious wearing clothes which have been&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31037119/top-free-tips-stop-clothes-smelling-damp/&quot;&gt; dried indoors due to fear of smelling&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4907.  
  4908.  
  4909.  
  4910. &lt;p&gt;“This can lead to things &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31592606/clothes-smelling-drying-damp-home/&quot;&gt;smelling damp&lt;/a&gt; and the room too.&lt;/p&gt;
  4911.  
  4912.  
  4913.  
  4914. &lt;p&gt;“We hope to help overcome that by mimicking the effect the sun has on wet fabrics as they dry inside, resulting in smelling fresh.”&lt;/p&gt;

  4925. The Folding Lady has unveiled her top tips for drying your washing. &lt;/p&gt;
  4927. &lt;div&gt;
  4928. &lt;p&gt;1. Hang clothes neatly – Make sure items don’t overlap and hang them neatly on the rungs of a clothes horse. I used to throw garments on in a rush, but it actually takes more time in the long run for things to then dry, you’re better off stacking them neatly for more efficient drying.&lt;/p&gt;
  4929. &lt;p&gt;2. Don’t be tempted to overload – This applies to both the washing machine and airer, rather than rushing to get everything done at once it’ll be more beneficial to do ‘little but often’ when it comes to washes.&lt;/p&gt;
  4930. &lt;p&gt;3. Work upwards – Place smaller items, such as underwear, on the lower rungs and larger clothes including shirts higher up.&lt;/p&gt;
  4931. &lt;p&gt;4. Look after delicates – Have a dedicated drying rack for delicate fabrics or hang them separately on hangers coming off the clothes horse to prevent stretching or damage. I was guilty of stretching my husband’s shirts before learning this.&lt;/p&gt;
  4932. &lt;p&gt;5. Use fabric conditioner – The addition of a conditioner when washing will give the freshness of drying outside, even when inside. The perfect solution when you don’t have the option of hanging washing outdoors, especially when you can’t trust the British weather.&lt;/p&gt;
  4933. &lt;/div&gt;
  4934. &lt;/div&gt;

  4976.  
  4977.  
  4978.  
  4979. &lt;p&gt;The iconic Italian circuit has hosted 30 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/f1/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Formula One&lt;/a&gt; races since 1980. &lt;/p&gt;

  4988.  
  4989.  
  4990.  
  4991. &lt;p&gt;CEO &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33854595/f1-chief-talks-new-street-race-thailand/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Stefano Domenicali&lt;/a&gt; has hinted Italy could lose one of its two Grands Prix as &amp;#8220;interest grows&amp;#8221; around the sport.&lt;/p&gt;
  4992.  
  4993.  
  4994.  
  4995. &lt;p&gt;Italy currently has two races on the F1 calendar, at Imola and Monza.&lt;/p&gt;
  4996.  
  4997.  
  4998.  
  4999. &lt;p&gt;But bosses are keen to take races to new audiences around the world. &lt;/p&gt;
  5000.  
  5001.  
  5002.  
  5003. &lt;p&gt;F1 signed a new deal with Monza last year which will keep it on the calendar until at least 2031.&lt;/p&gt;
  5004.  
  5005.  
  5006.  
  5007. &lt;p&gt;Next month’s race at Imola is the last of its current contract &amp;#8211; and Domenicali has suggested bosses are considering an alternative venue.&lt;/p&gt;
  5008.  
  5009.  
  5010.  
  5011. &lt;p&gt;Domenicali said: &amp;#8220;Italy has always been and will be an important part of Formula 1.&lt;/p&gt;
  5012.  
  5013.  
  5014.  
  5015. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It will be increasingly difficult to have two races in the same country because interest in F1 is growing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5016.  
  5017.  
  5018.  
  5019. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s a situation we will have to deal with in the coming months.&lt;/p&gt;
  5020.  
  5021.

  5024.  
  5025.  
  5026.  
  5027. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s hard for this situation with Imola and Monza to continue together on the calendar for long.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5028.  
  5029.  
  5030.  
  5031. &lt;p&gt;Imola held its first world championship event in 1980 when it took over the running of the Italian Grand Prix for one year.&lt;/p&gt;

  5055. &lt;p&gt;While it was known as the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, legendary driver &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27649272/formula-one-greatest-riddle-ayrton-senna-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ayrton Senna crashed and tragically passed away&lt;/a&gt; at the circuit. &lt;/p&gt;
  5056.

  5059. &lt;p&gt;Every year, the Grand Prix offers F1 fans the chance to remember the legendary driver.&lt;/p&gt;
  5060.  
  5061.  
  5062.  
  5063. &lt;p&gt;Imola was used as an F1 venue until 2006, before returning again in 2020 as bosses sought European tracks during the Covid-19 pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;

  5177. &lt;p&gt;Fans of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; reality show know that Olympian Daley Thompson and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/eastenders/&quot;&gt;EastEnders &lt;/a&gt;legend &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/patsy-palmer/&quot;&gt;Patsy Palmer&lt;/a&gt; are facing off in tonight&amp;#8217;s public vote.&lt;/p&gt;
  5178.  
  5179.  
  5180.  
  5181. &lt;p&gt;One of them will become the third to be evicted, and fourth to leave overall after Mickey Rourke&amp;#8217;s ejection, on the show this evening, hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best.&lt;/p&gt;
  5182.  
  5183.  
  5184.  
  5185. &lt;p&gt;According to Ladbrokes, Daley Thompson does not stand a chance as odds suggest he will be leaving the show this evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  5186.  
  5187.  
  5188.  
  5189. &lt;p&gt;At present, Daley&amp;#8217;s odds stand at a pitiful 1/5 to be sent packing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5190.  
  5191.  
  5192.  
  5193. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Bianca Jackson actress Patsy looks set to be safe with odds of 7/2.&lt;/p&gt;
  5194.

  5198.  
  5199.  
  5200.  
  5201. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Patsy&amp;#8217;s already survived one eviction, and the odds suggest she&amp;#8217;ll still be standing come close of play tonight.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5206.  
  5207.  
  5208.  
  5209. &lt;p&gt;Patsy has made no secret about her wish to go home, admitting she was gutted when Trisha left instead of her on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  5210.  
  5211.  
  5212.  
  5213. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/eastenders/&quot;&gt;EastEnders&lt;/a&gt; actress moaned: “I am gutted. Sorry, I do love you all so much, but I just, I am.&lt;/p&gt;

  5341.  
  5342. &lt;p&gt;The Tribal Chief is the longest-reigning world champion of the modern era after his staggering 1,316-day reign came to an end last year at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/sport/11005702/wwe-wrestlemania-40-live-results-cody-rhodes-the-rock-updates/&quot;&gt;WrestleMania 40&lt;/a&gt; when he lost to Cody Rhodes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5343.  
  5344.  
  5345.  
  5346. &lt;p&gt;However, the six-time world champion&amp;#8217;s wrestling days may be coming to an end in three years&amp;#8217; time.&lt;/p&gt;
  5347.  
  5348.  
  5349.  
  5350. &lt;p&gt;The Head of the Table revealed that his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/wwe/&quot;&gt;WWE&lt;/a&gt; contract comes to an end next year after WrestleMania 42.&lt;/p&gt;
  5351.  
  5352.  
  5353.  
  5354. &lt;p&gt;After that, ex-WWE Champion believes he can continue wrestling for another two years maximum.&lt;/p&gt;
  5355.  
  5356.  
  5357.  
  5358. &lt;p&gt;However, the American grappler seems to be planning a different avenue in 2028 that would see him undertaking a &amp;#8220;less physical form of entertainment&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5359.  
  5360.  
  5361.  
  5362. &lt;p&gt;Reigns told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/roman-reignss-quest-to-be-wwes-next-great-crossover-star&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Vanity Fair&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;After I finish the contract that I’m in, we probably got another year or two max. Then it’s time to take on a less physical form of entertainment.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5363.  
  5364.  
  5365.  
  5366. &lt;p&gt;That of course could mean a lot of things as the former Universal Champion may simply opt for an even more limited part-time schedule.&lt;/p&gt;
  5367.  
  5368.  
  5369.  
  5370. &lt;p&gt;The former Intercontinental Champion may also mirror Cena and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dwayne-johnson/&quot;&gt;The Rock&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s career moves.&lt;/p&gt;
  5371.  
  5372.  
  5373.  
  5374. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5375.  
  5376.  
  5377.  
  5378. &lt;p&gt;In fact, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/roman-reigns/&quot;&gt;Reigns&lt;/a&gt; has already appeared on the big screen as he linked up with his cousin Johnson in Fast &amp;amp; Furious: Hobbs &amp;amp; Shaw.&lt;/p&gt;
  5379.  
  5380.  
  5381.  
  5382. &lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, the ex-US Champion is now fully concentrated on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/sport/14020801/wwe-wrestlemania-41-start-time-full-card-live-stream/&quot;&gt;WrestleMania 41&lt;/a&gt;, which takes place this weekend at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.&lt;/p&gt;

  5449. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JUST two hours ago, Zara McDermott &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and Louis Tomlinson were pictured kissing for the FIRST time in public.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5450.

  5453. &lt;p&gt;Earlier today, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot;&gt;Strictly Come Dancing&lt;/a&gt; star, 28, and the former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/one-direction/&quot;&gt;One Direction&lt;/a&gt; singer, 33, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34537463/zara-mcdermott-louis-tomlinson-kiss-first-time-malibu/&quot;&gt;enjoyed an intimate moment outside his home&lt;/a&gt; in Malibu before she prepared to head to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/plane/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;airport&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5468.  
  5469. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/louis-tomlinson/&quot;&gt;Louis&lt;/a&gt; was seen leaning in for a kiss as he tenderly grabbed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/zara-mcdermott/&quot;&gt;Zara&lt;/a&gt; and pulled her closer to him.&lt;/p&gt;
  5470.  
  5471.  
  5472.  
  5473. &lt;p&gt;Moments later, the new couple then locked lips on the driveway, just weeks after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33900013/louis-tomlinson-dating-zara-mcdermott-hotel-pictures/&quot;&gt;The Sun revealed they were dating&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5477. &lt;p&gt;Now, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fabulous&lt;/a&gt; can reveal how Zara ensures her pout stays soft and kissable.&lt;/p&gt;
  5478.  
  5479.  
  5480.  
  5481. &lt;p&gt;So if your lips and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/20375093/surprising-reasons-lips-chapped/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;dry and chapped&lt;/a&gt;, you’ve come to the right place.&lt;/p&gt;
  5482.  
  5483.  
  5484.  
  5485. &lt;p&gt;And fear not if you’re &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;on a budget&lt;/a&gt;, as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; icon swears by a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cheap-buys/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;purse-friendly buy&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; and it’s only £4.79 on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amazon/&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5486.  
  5487.

  5489. &lt;p&gt;As reported by &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://heatworld.com/shopping/beauty/zara-mcdermott-make-up-bag/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Heat&lt;/a&gt;, Zara, who recently broke up with ex &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sam-thompson/&quot;&gt;Sam Thompson&lt;/a&gt;, shared her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/hair-and-beauty/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;make-up bag favourites&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  5494.  
  5495.  
  5496.  
  5497. &lt;p&gt;To cover her dark circles, she uses the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.lookfantastic.com/p/l-oreal-paris-infallible-more-than-concealer-10ml-various-shades/12004554/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;L&amp;#8217;Oréal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer&lt;/a&gt;, which is £10.99 from Look Fantastic.&lt;/p&gt;
  5498.  
  5499.  
  5500.  
  5501. &lt;p&gt;But when it comes to her pout, Zara explained: “I rarely wear &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/33799295/lipstick-fuller-lips-all-day/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;lipstick&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  5570. &lt;p&gt;2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. &lt;/p&gt;
  5571. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skincare&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5572. &lt;p&gt;Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance the skin’s appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. “Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to a achieve flawless, youthful complexion. &lt;/p&gt;
  5573. &lt;p&gt;Skincare routines will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine. &lt;/p&gt;
  5574. &lt;p&gt;Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving makeup and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant. &lt;/p&gt;
  5575. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Makeup &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5576. &lt;p&gt;Makeup trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin. &lt;/p&gt;
  5577. &lt;p&gt;Makeup looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks. &lt;/p&gt;
  5578. &lt;p&gt;Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect. &lt;/p&gt;
  5579. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nails&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5580. &lt;p&gt;2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails.&lt;/p&gt;
  5581. &lt;/div&gt;
  5582. &lt;/div&gt;
  5583. &lt;/div&gt;
  5585.  
  5586.  
  5587.  
  5588. &lt;p&gt;One person said: “Very good quality lip balm which adds a subtle colour to your lips. Highly recommend, will order again.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5589.  
  5590.  
  5591.  
  5592. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “I really like this balm/gloss. The colour, texture and last is quality and does last a long while when worn.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5593.  
  5594.  
  5595.  
  5596. &lt;p&gt;A third simply wrote: “Very nice.” &lt;/p&gt;

  5640. &lt;p&gt;THIS is the shocking moment an &amp;#8220;imbecile&amp;#8221; council worker mowed down a group of kids&amp;#8217; football goalposts.&lt;/p&gt;
  5641.  
  5642.  
  5643.  
  5644. &lt;p&gt;The council workman appeared to purposefully drive over the piece of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sports&lt;/a&gt; equipment in Norton, County &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/durham/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Durham&lt;/a&gt;, sparking outrage across &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5657.  
  5658.  
  5659.  
  5660. &lt;p&gt;A group of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;children&lt;/a&gt; living in the area had pooled together some cash to buy the goal post and the place it on a piece of council-owned land so they could play &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; when they wanted to, it has been claimed.&lt;/p&gt;
  5661.  
  5662.  
  5663.  
  5664. &lt;p&gt;Cruel footage shows the moment the council worker drove the large lawnmower over towards the goalposts, which were lying on the floor.&lt;/p&gt;
  5665.  
  5666.  
  5667.  
  5668. &lt;p&gt;Donning an orange workman&amp;#8217;s kit, the driver then begins to aggressively plough into the posts, eventually mounting on top of them.&lt;/p&gt;
  5669.  
  5670.  
  5671.  
  5672. &lt;p&gt;The goal begins shaking around as the council worker continually drives backwards and forwards over it.&lt;/p&gt;
  5673.  
  5674.  
  5675.  
  5676. &lt;p&gt;Shamelessly, the workman drives over it one final time before reversing away, dragging the children&amp;#8217;s play equipment with him.&lt;/p&gt;
  5677.  
  5678.  
  5679.  
  5680. &lt;p&gt;It eventually detaches from his lawnmower and is left strewn across the garden space.&lt;/p&gt;
  5681.  
  5682.  
  5683.  
  5684. &lt;p&gt;Many adults took to social media to slam the driver&amp;#8217;s actions, saying they were &amp;#8220;disgusted&amp;#8221; at what they saw.&lt;/p&gt;
  5685.  
  5686.  
  5687.  
  5688. &lt;p&gt;One wrote: &amp;#8220;Disgusting. Is it any wonder &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34491243/neighbour-kids-throwing-toys-balcony-mess-police-authorities/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;kids destroy stuff&lt;/a&gt; when they are led by imbecile adults like this?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5689.  
  5690.  
  5691.  
  5692. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Absolutely horrible, no need for what the council worker did. Those poor kids.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  5693.  
  5694.  
  5695.

  5738. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;We’ve been told to tear down our £20,000 garden shed by council but we’ll NEVER let them win – we’ve got a clever plan&lt;/h3&gt;
  5739. &lt;/div&gt;

  5742. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  5743. A FURIOUS couple say they will refuse to tear down a £20,000 summer house after their bid to keep it was rejected by councillors. &lt;/p&gt;
  5745. &lt;div&gt;
  5746. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Catherine Curran and her partner Martin Keyes&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32350269/neighbours-demand-rip-shed-issues/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;installed the building&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in their garden nearly four years ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5747. &lt;p&gt;But last year they were left stunned when they discovered that council planners had refused retrospective planning for their two metre outbuilding.&lt;/p&gt;
  5748. &lt;p&gt;The couple appealed against the decision but following a visit to the site councillors on the authority&amp;#8217;s Local Review Body unanimously backed the original verdict.&lt;/p&gt;
  5749. &lt;p&gt;The door is now open for Inverclyde Council to take enforcement action to have the building removed, if the local authority deems such action necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
  5750. &lt;p&gt;The couple believe they still may be able to save their garden shed by moving it using a crane.&lt;/p&gt;
  5751. &lt;p&gt;Catherine, 50, said she was furious &amp;#8211; not just at the decision, but at the way the pair found out.&lt;/p&gt;
  5752. &lt;p&gt;She insisted: &amp;#8220;They are not tearing it down. My partner has spoken to two other councillors, and there are other options.&lt;/p&gt;
  5753. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They will not take my summer house down.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5754. &lt;/div&gt;
  5755. &lt;/div&gt;
  5756. &lt;/div&gt;
  5758.  
  5759.  
  5760.  
  5761. &lt;p&gt;Despite the general anger against the council worker&amp;#8217;s actions, some defended his behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  5762.  
  5763.  
  5764.  
  5765. &lt;p&gt;One wrote: &amp;#8220;This is on council land and should have been moved if it was so important what people don&amp;#8217;t realise these lads who cut the grass can not get off there machinery to move everything they come across the goal should have been moved by whoever it belongs to.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5766.  
  5767.  
  5768.  
  5769. &lt;p&gt;Another said: &amp;#8220;How do you know it&amp;#8217;s deliberate? Looks to me he&amp;#8217;s tried to go around it and it&amp;#8217;s got caught up in the grass cutter.&lt;/p&gt;
  5770.  
  5771.  
  5772.  
  5773. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There probably is an explanation.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5774.  
  5775.  
  5776.  
  5777. &lt;p&gt;This comes after footage in December showed a council worker &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/32161699/council-worker-double-yellow-lines/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ramming into a furious homeowner&lt;/a&gt; who was protesting over double yellow lines outside her home.&lt;/p&gt;
  5778.  
  5779.  
  5780.  
  5781. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Monika D&amp;#8217;Agate had her foot squashed six times by the machine after she tried to stop the staff member outside her home in Belvedere, southeast&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5782.  
  5783.  
  5784.  
  5785. &lt;p&gt;Monika, who has lived in the exclusive neighbourhood for 32 years, said she felt she was living in a &amp;#8220;dictatorship&amp;#8221; after her petition against the lines was &amp;#8220;completely ignored&amp;#8221; by Bexley Council.&lt;/p&gt;
  5786.  
  5787.  
  5788.  
  5789. &lt;p&gt;She was caught on CCTV footage standing in front of the contractor&amp;#8217;s machine and challenging him.&lt;/p&gt;
  5790.  
  5791.  
  5792.  
  5793. &lt;p&gt;But the worker, donning a hi-viz jacket, is seen ramming into the mum-of-one&amp;#8217;s foot before she eventually relents and&amp;nbsp;steps&amp;nbsp;aside.&lt;/p&gt;
  5794.  
  5795.  
  5796.  
  5797. &lt;p&gt;In a statement, Bexley Council labelled the &amp;#8220;use of force&amp;#8221; by the contractor as &amp;#8220;unacceptable&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5839. &lt;p&gt;SHREWSBURY TOWN have been relegated to League Two &amp;#8211; without kicking a ball on Good Friday. &lt;/p&gt;
  5840.  
  5841.  
  5842.  
  5843. &lt;p&gt;The Shrews&amp;#8217; ten-year stay in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;League One&lt;/a&gt; ended after Burton Albion drew 0-0 with Exeter City. &lt;/p&gt;

  5855. &lt;p&gt;Shrewsbury have been rooted to the foot of the third tier for much of the season. &lt;/p&gt;
  5856.  
  5857.  
  5858.  
  5859. &lt;p&gt;Even if Burton had lost, they knew they would have to win all four of their remaining matches to have any chance of staying up.&lt;/p&gt;
  5860.  
  5861.  
  5862.  
  5863. &lt;p&gt;Current boss Michael Appleton only took charge last month after the sudden departure of Gareth Ainsworth.&lt;/p&gt;
  5864.  
  5865.  
  5866.  
  5867. &lt;p&gt;Ex-Wycombe boss Ainsworth had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31690626/gareth-ainsworth-shrewsbury-town-manager-league-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;stepped into the hot seat in November&lt;/a&gt; after Paul Hurst left the club. &lt;/p&gt;
  5868.  
  5869.  
  5870.  
  5871. &lt;p&gt;But he has since joined League Two Gillingham, leaving the door open for Appleton to relaunch his managerial career. &lt;/p&gt;
  5872.  
  5873.  
  5874.  
  5875. &lt;p&gt;Shrewsbury are currently up for sale with several potential investors interested.&lt;/p&gt;
  5876.  
  5877.  
  5878.  
  5879. &lt;p&gt;Appleton told BBC Radio Shropshire: &amp;#8220;Talks have been really positive.&lt;/p&gt;
  5880.  
  5881.  
  5882.  
  5883. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m enjoying my time here and I&amp;#8217;m enjoying the interactions I&amp;#8217;ve had with all the staff and the players. &lt;/p&gt;

  5891. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m hoping that an agreement will happen over time.&lt;/p&gt;
  5892.  
  5893.  
  5894.  
  5895. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We seem to have a good response from the fans, which is probably the most important thing, and I&amp;#8217;m very encouraged by the talks we&amp;#8217;ve had.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5920.  
  5921.  
  5922.  
  5923. &lt;p&gt;The former midfielder played for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt;, Preston and West Bromwich Albion before going into coaching in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;

  5926.

  5972.  
  5973.  
  5974.  
  5975. &lt;p&gt;They believe it&amp;#8217;s another Italian, who will be joining countryman Vito Coppola in the line-up for series 23 of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; Saturday night staple.&lt;/p&gt;

  5987. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Last week the BBC&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34412237/strictly-come-dancing-full-pro-line-up-revealed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;confirmed that two new faces will be added&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;to the line-up&lt;/span&gt;, and one of those names viewers are adamant will be joining is Catania-born dancer Simone Arena, 33, who also happens to be &lt;span id=&quot;c8726ea6-659e-4de8-8831-75185d6454b9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; another Strictly pro, Michelle Tsiakkas.&lt;/p&gt;
  5988.  
  5989.  
  5990.  
  5991. &lt;p&gt;Michelle, 29, was paired up with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/eastenders/&quot;&gt;EastEnders&lt;/a&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34446913/jamie-borthwick-dumped-girlfriend-sex-toy/&quot;&gt;Jamie Borthwick &lt;/a&gt;on series 22 of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot;&gt;Strictly.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5992.  
  5993.  
  5994.  
  5995. &lt;p&gt;One fan says: &amp;#8220;I think Simone is a strong possibility due to his Michelle connection.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5996.  
  5997.  
  5998.  
  5999. &lt;p&gt;And another agrees, adding: &amp;#8220;My bet personally is that we get Simone&amp;#8221;, before suggesting the reasoning behind their theory is that Simone, &amp;#8220;seems to fit the Italian stallion casting type that was missing from the last series.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  6000.  
  6001.  
  6002.  
  6003. &lt;p&gt;Simone has already competed on Dancing With The Stars in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196718/belgium/&quot;&gt;Belgium&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ireland/&quot;&gt;Ireland&lt;/a&gt;, as well as in his native &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196719/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;
  6004.  
  6005.  
  6006.  
  6007. &lt;p&gt;Last week, The Sun revealed that Strictly bosses have been in&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;talks with another Italian dancer, former&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dancing-with-the-stars/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dancing With The Stars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;winner &amp;#8211; Pasquale La Rocca&lt;/span&gt;, as they seek to replace &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/giovanni-pernice/&quot;&gt;Giovanni Pernice&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6008.  
  6009.  
  6010.  
  6011. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Giovanni, 34, left the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;show last year after being accused of &amp;#8216;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bullying/&quot;&gt;bullying&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216; by actress&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/amanda-abbington/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Amanda Abbington&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  6012.  
  6013.  
  6014.  
  6015. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Beeb bosses launched an official probe and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30773503/strictly-amanda-abbington-sue-bbc-damages/&quot;&gt;upheld six of the 17 complaints against him&lt;/a&gt; but he was cleared of being physically abusive to Amanda.&lt;/p&gt;
  6016.  
  6017.  
  6018.  
  6019. &lt;p&gt;Simone has a bit of previous when it comes to Strictly. In 2018, he appeared as a background dancer on the&amp;nbsp;show&amp;#8217;s Blackpool special.&lt;/p&gt;

  6043. &lt;p&gt;And he&amp;#8217;s also recently been working closely with&amp;nbsp;Giovanni, collaborating on his Ballando dance workshops.&lt;/p&gt;
  6044.  
  6045.  
  6046.  
  6047. &lt;p&gt;Giovanni meanwhile, is currently dating 43-year-old Italian actress and singer Bianca Gauccero, after they were paired up and won the Italian version of Strictly last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  6048.  
  6049.  
  6050.  
  6051. &lt;p&gt;Just days ago, another Strictly dancer, Jowita Pryztal, 30, who previously had a brief relationship with Giovanni in 2022, appeared to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34526001/jowita-takes-savage-swipe-at-strictly-ex-giovanni-pernice/&quot;&gt;aim a swipe at the Italian&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6052.  
  6053.  
  6054.  
  6055. &lt;p&gt;The pair dated for three months, in the same year Jowita won Strictly, with 35-year-old BBC cameraman, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/hamza-yassin/&quot;&gt;Hamza Yassin&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6056.  
  6057.  
  6058.  
  6059. &lt;p&gt;But she recently uploaded a video to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt;, which saw her dancing to Gladdest – Done With Your Ex (Shake It To The Max Remix) by Moliy and Silent Addy, in what fans took to be a dig Giovanni.&lt;/p&gt;
  6060.  
  6061.  
  6062.  
  6063. &lt;p&gt;She wrote in her caption: &amp;#8220;Dance it. I had to, it’s a viiibe! #vibes #ex #womenpower.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6129.  
  6130.  
  6131.  
  6132. &lt;p&gt;Hundreds of thrill-seekers would flock to the Major Hollywood venue in Bangkok, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/thailand/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Thailand&lt;/a&gt; each week for years.&lt;/p&gt;
  6133.  
  6134.  
  6135.  
  6136. &lt;p&gt;But as the years went on customer numbers dropped.&lt;/p&gt;
  6137.  
  6138.  
  6139.  
  6140. &lt;p&gt;The final blow came in May 2016 when a fire engulfed the building after breaking out in a nearby pub and spreading.&lt;/p&gt;
  6141.  
  6142.  
  6143.  
  6144. &lt;p&gt;Two people were killed and harrowing photos show plumes of smoke seeping out of the site.&lt;/p&gt;
  6145.  
  6146.  
  6147.  
  6148. &lt;p&gt;Since closing its doors nine years ago, the venue has been repeatedly targeted by spineless thieves.&lt;/p&gt;
  6149.  
  6150.  
  6151.  
  6152. &lt;p&gt;Photographer Dax Ward was given permission to go inside the abandoned building with his friend and paranormal investigator Kang.&lt;/p&gt;
  6153.  
  6154.  
  6155.  
  6156. &lt;p&gt;He said he was stunned to find thieves had stripped so much out of the building &amp;#8211; including cushions off cinema seats.&lt;/p&gt;
  6157.  
  6158.  
  6159.  
  6160. &lt;p&gt;Dax told The Sun: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve explored a lot of abandoned cinemas and even a 100-year-old bowling alley, but never an entire complex like this.&lt;/p&gt;
  6161.  
  6162.  
  6163.  
  6164. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Major Hollywood was a rare chance to explore a contemporary space similar to those I’ve actually spent time in while they were still thriving.&lt;/p&gt;
  6165.  
  6166.  
  6167.  
  6168. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There was this one corner where purple stickers on the windows turned the dark interior into something ethereal.&lt;/p&gt;

  6191.  
  6192. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That moment of colour &amp;#8211; beauty against the squalor &amp;#8211; is exactly what I look for when I explore.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6193.  
  6194.  
  6195.  
  6196. &lt;p&gt;Dax said it felt more like he&amp;#8217;d stepped into a cave or underground tunnel than a former cinema.&lt;/p&gt;
  6197.  
  6198.  
  6199.  
  6200. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was pitch black in most areas, the kind of darkness where you can’t see your hand in front of your face,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  6201.  
  6202.  
  6203.  
  6204. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What made this place stand out wasn’t just the decay—it was the familiarity. &lt;/p&gt;
  6205.  
  6206.  
  6207.  
  6208. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ve been to other &amp;#8216;Major&amp;#8217; locations in Bangkok when they were alive with light, sound, and people. &lt;/p&gt;
  6209.  
  6210.  
  6211.  
  6212. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Walking through this silent version gave me chills. I didn’t have to imagine what it was like &amp;#8211; it was already part of my memory.&lt;/p&gt;
  6213.  
  6214.  
  6215.  
  6216. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was shocked by how run-down it had become.&lt;/p&gt;
  6217.  
  6218.  
  6219.  
  6220. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The fire in 2016, combined with relentless looting, stripped the place of nearly everything—even the cushions from the cinema seats were gone.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6276.  
  6277. &lt;p&gt;MALE rapists can no longer claim to be women under a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court.&lt;/p&gt;
  6278.  
  6279.  
  6280.  
  6281. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; forces are now expected to record criminals&amp;#8217; sex from birth &amp;#8211; rather than their chosen gender.&lt;/p&gt;
  6282.  
  6283.

  6289. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34539876&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 784px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/undated-handout-file-photo-issued-829068829.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=774&quot; alt=&quot;Mugshot of Isla Bryson.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34539876&quot; width=&quot;774&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The fiend &amp;#8211; born Adam Graham &amp;#8211; was initially sent to a women&amp;#8217;s jail[/caption]
  6290.  
  6291.  
  6292.  
  6293. &lt;p&gt;It comes after the Supreme &lt;span id=&quot;caae2190-a97a-443f-b281-4db18e309499&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/span&gt; this week concluded that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34491657/trans-women-not-women-barred-female-spaces/&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;58d02e28-9a00-41ed-9921-484e3f3db1f5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;transgender&lt;/span&gt; women are not biological women&lt;/a&gt; under equality laws in a move hailed as a &amp;#8220;victory for common sense&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6294.  
  6295.  
  6296.  
  6297. &lt;p&gt;Currently, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) recommend forces ask suspects if they are “male”, “female” or “intersex”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6298.  
  6299.  
  6300.  
  6301. &lt;p&gt;But it goes on to advice that gender is a &amp;#8220;social construction&amp;#8221; and therefore not a substitute for the term &amp;#8220;sex&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6302.  
  6303.  
  6304.  
  6305. &lt;p&gt;Despite the guidance, at least 12 police forces in the UK have allowed rape suspects and other sexual offenders to self declare their preferred gender.&lt;/p&gt;
  6306.  
  6307.  
  6308.  
  6309. &lt;p&gt;This means that men can call themselves a woman and get recorded as such on official &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; stats for violent sexual offences.&lt;/p&gt;
  6310.  
  6311.  
  6312.  
  6313. &lt;p&gt;It is hoped the landmark ruling will end police recording rapists as women &amp;#8211; even though the legal definition of the crime requires a penis.&lt;/p&gt;
  6314.  
  6315.  
  6316.  
  6317. &lt;p&gt;The move is also expected to put a stop to male-born transgender inmates in female jails, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04/18/trans-rapists-can-no-longer-claim-to-be-women/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Telegraph&lt;/a&gt; reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  6318.  
  6319.  
  6320.  
  6321. &lt;p&gt;A debate over suspects adopting their preferred gender after being charged was led by public outrage over the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27477181/prisons-misgendering-trans-rapist-isla-bryson-fuel-hatred/&quot;&gt;Isla Bryson scandal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6322.  
  6323.  
  6324.  
  6325. &lt;p&gt;Born as Adam Graham, the double rapist changed gender and was sent to a women’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prison/&quot;&gt;prison&lt;/a&gt; upon conviction.&lt;/p&gt;
  6326.  
  6327.  
  6328.  
  6329. &lt;p&gt;Bryson was subsequently moved to a male prison following pressure on the Scottish government.&lt;/p&gt;

  6350.  
  6351.  
  6352.  
  6353. &lt;p&gt;It also led to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police-scotland/&quot;&gt;Police Scotland&lt;/a&gt; last year announcing that rape suspects would no longer be able to self identify as female.&lt;/p&gt;
  6354.  
  6355.  
  6356.  
  6357. &lt;p&gt;In 2023, a new policy was brought in for the UK that stated transgender female offenders would no longer be held in women&amp;#8217;s jails if they male genitalia or have committed sex crimes.&lt;/p&gt;
  6358.  
  6359.  
  6360.  
  6361. &lt;p&gt;But latest prison service data for 2023/24 shows there were 295 transgender prisoners in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; with 51 in female prisons and 244 in male prisons.&lt;/p&gt;
  6362.  
  6363.  
  6364.  
  6365. &lt;p&gt;Of the transgender prisoners in the male jails, 225 self-identified as transgender female, while 48 inmates in the women’s self-identified as transgender male.&lt;/p&gt;
  6366.  
  6367.  
  6368.  
  6369. &lt;p&gt;Campaign group For Women &lt;span id=&quot;aff20a23-4103-4019-887e-398e90570f65&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/span&gt; went against the Scottish government to bring the row to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/supreme-court/&quot;&gt;Supreme Court&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6370.  
  6371.  
  6372.  
  6373. &lt;p&gt;In an 88-page ruling, judges Lord Hodge, Lady Rose and Lady Simler found “the definition of sex in the Equality Act 2010 makes clear that the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6374.  
  6375.  
  6376.  
  6377. &lt;p&gt;Lord Hodge stated it was the unanimous decision of the court that “the definition of the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6378.  
  6379.  
  6380.  
  6381. &lt;p&gt;The top judge added that the Act still offers protection from discrimination for trans people.&lt;/p&gt;
  6382.  
  6383.  
  6384.  
  6385. &lt;p&gt;It came following a long-running debate surrounding trans rights and women&amp;#8217;s spaces led by several prominent activists.&lt;/p&gt;
  6386.  
  6387.  
  6388.  
  6389. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  6390. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  6391. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What happens next for campaigners and female-only spaces?&lt;/h3&gt;
  6392. &lt;/div&gt;
  6393. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  6396. &lt;div&gt;
  6397. &lt;ul&gt;
  6398. &lt;li&gt;The Supreme Court ruling has clarified that organisations can lawfully exclude trans women from women-only spaces when it is necessary for safeguarding biological women.&lt;/li&gt;
  6399. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6400. &lt;ul&gt;
  6401. &lt;li&gt;This decision provides a legal framework for institutions to create clearer, more defined policies regarding access to female-only spaces like domestic abuse shelters, gyms, changing rooms, and prisons.&lt;/li&gt;
  6402. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6403. &lt;ul&gt;
  6404. &lt;li&gt;As a result, women’s rights groups are likely to push for stronger protections to maintain the integrity of female-only spaces, citing concerns over safety and fairness.&lt;/li&gt;
  6405. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6406. &lt;ul&gt;
  6407. &lt;li&gt;The ruling could spark further legal challenges from trans rights activists, who may argue that the decision undermines their rights to access spaces in line with their gender identity.&lt;/li&gt;
  6408. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6409. &lt;ul&gt;
  6410. &lt;li&gt;Public services like schools and hospitals will face pressure to reconsider how they handle access to gender-segregated facilities, potentially leading to the introduction of more detailed guidelines.&lt;/li&gt;
  6411. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6412. &lt;ul&gt;
  6413. &lt;li&gt;The ruling also opens the door for more tailored safeguarding policies within women’s spaces, but these may lead to accusations of discrimination from trans activists if seen as overly restrictive.&lt;/li&gt;
  6414. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6415. &lt;ul&gt;
  6416. &lt;li&gt;Women’s refuges and domestic violence shelters may introduce stricter policies to ensure that biological women’s safety is prioritised.&lt;/li&gt;
  6417. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6418. &lt;ul&gt;
  6419. &lt;li&gt;Legal and public debates around the interpretation of &amp;#8220;sex&amp;#8221; vs. &amp;#8220;gender&amp;#8221; will intensify, with experts and lawmakers grappling to find a solution that satisfies both parties.&lt;/li&gt;
  6420. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6421. &lt;ul&gt;
  6422. &lt;li&gt;The case is likely to set a precedent, influencing future legal decisions on the rights of trans people in relation to women-only spaces and potentially prompting more judicial reviews.&lt;/li&gt;
  6423. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6424. &lt;/div&gt;
  6425. &lt;/div&gt;
  6426. &lt;/div&gt;
  6428.  
  6429.  
  6430.  
  6431. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/harry-potter/&quot;&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/a&gt; author and defiant feminist campaigner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jk-rowling/&quot;&gt;JK Rowling&lt;/a&gt; was among those who welcomed the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  6432.  
  6433.  
  6434.  
  6435. &lt;p&gt;She has been a long standing advocate for group For Women Scotland, which she is also believed to have backed with funding.&lt;/p&gt;
  6436.  
  6437.  
  6438.  
  6439. &lt;p&gt;However, Rowling has also come under fire for comments made in the past towards trans people, with the author bravely standing firm in the face of online pressure.&lt;/p&gt;
  6440.  
  6441.  
  6442.  
  6443. &lt;p&gt;In 2020, the esteemed author slammed the growing trend of replacing &amp;#8220;biological sex&amp;#8221; with &amp;#8220;gender identity&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6444.  
  6445.  
  6446.  
  6447. &lt;p&gt;Her stance, that declared &amp;#8220;sex is real&amp;#8221;, led to death threats, but also moulded her into a figurehead for the &amp;#8220;gender-critical&amp;#8221; movement.&lt;/p&gt;
  6448.  
  6449.  
  6450.  
  6451. &lt;p&gt;Activists accused her of transphobia in 2020 when replying to an article with the headline: “Opinion: Creating a more equal post Covid-19 world for people who menstruate.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6452.  
  6453.  
  6454.  
  6455. &lt;p&gt;She tweeted: “‘People who menstruate’. I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”&lt;/p&gt;
  6456.  
  6457.  
  6458.  
  6459. &lt;p&gt;Rowling &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34516201/jk-rowling-supreme-court-win-rights/&quot;&gt;celebrated the win&lt;/a&gt; with an image of herself with a cigar and cocktail on board a &lt;span id=&quot;f23de6be-da7d-4cad-a0fe-436febcba26d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;luxury&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;f82f1d90-893b-4a71-87fd-f49a8058856b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;yacht&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6460.  
  6461.  
  6462.  
  6463. &lt;p&gt;She captioned the image &amp;#8220;I love it when a plan comes together&amp;#8221; in a nod to the A-Team.&lt;/p&gt;
  6464.  
  6465.  
  6466.  
  6467. &lt;p&gt;The Equality and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/human-rights/&quot;&gt;Human Rights&lt;/a&gt; Commission has said the decision will lead to changes in codes of conduct for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; and the prison service.&lt;/p&gt;
  6468.  
  6469.  
  6470.  
  6471. &lt;p&gt;These changes will potentially affect areas such as hospital wards, &lt;span id=&quot;818044d6-4115-4aed-9dee-5c0fe4a9c286&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;changing rooms&lt;/span&gt;, and domestic refuges.&lt;/p&gt;
  6472.  
  6473.  
  6474.  
  6475. &lt;p&gt;Chief Constable Rachel Swann, chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s diversity, equality and inclusion committee, said: “I welcome the clarity that the decision at the Supreme Court has provided and we will be reviewing our policies and procedures in accordance with the outcome.&lt;/p&gt;
  6476.  
  6477.  
  6478.  
  6479. &lt;p&gt;“We will need time to consider the full implications of the court’s decision, as will many other public bodies.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6480.  
  6481.  
  6482.  
  6483. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34494979&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/2025/04/2025-following-courts-ruling-define-987643581.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Two women giving a statement to the press outside the Supreme Court following a ruling on the legal definition of &amp;quot;woman&amp;quot;.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34494979&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;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The Supreme Court ruled that trans women are not women[/caption]

  6544.  
  6545.  
  6546.  
  6547. &lt;p&gt;He said: “What is the USP here?&lt;/p&gt;
  6548.  
  6549.  
  6550.  
  6551. &lt;p&gt;“Does it actually have a point to this or is it just because she is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6552.  
  6553.  
  6554.  
  6555. &lt;p&gt;“Although it was number 10 on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spotify/&quot;&gt;Spotify&lt;/a&gt;, this podcast, her Netflix series was also in the top 10.&lt;/p&gt;
  6556.  
  6557.  
  6558.  
  6559. &lt;p&gt;“So although the reviews are bad, people are still watching it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6560.  
  6561.  
  6562.  
  6563. &lt;p&gt;“So the question is going to be, are people watching it because they love to hate it or do they genuinely enjoy watching it or listening?”&lt;/p&gt;
  6564.  
  6565.  
  6566.  
  6567. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson said: “I suppose the worst thing could be it being greeted with silence and just completely ignored.&lt;/p&gt;
  6568.  
  6569.  
  6570.  
  6571. &lt;p&gt;“So from that perspective, you know, it is doing something.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6572.

  6574.  
  6575. &lt;p&gt;Meghan has so far released two podcast episodes in her new series with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/32670319/huge-news-meghan-markle-lemonada-new-podcast-spotify/&quot;&gt;female-founded Lemonada Media&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; after her previous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/22714056/meghan-markle-podcast-spotify-deal-archetypes/&quot;&gt;Archetypes podcast on Spotify.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  6608.  
  6609.  
  6610.  
  6611. &lt;p&gt;“I think all her guests are mainly based in America so far.&lt;/p&gt;

  6616.  
  6617.  
  6618.  
  6619. &lt;p&gt;“I&amp;#8217;m led to believe that it&amp;#8217;s not really being picked up by the American media, which surely would be her target if she was moving into that sphere.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6627. &lt;p&gt;Cameron questioned: “Does that suggest then that the British audience, you know, are very much loving to hate Meghan and perhaps by extension Harry, and the US just don&amp;#8217;t care anymore?”&lt;/p&gt;
  6628.  
  6629.

  6643. &lt;p&gt;Last episode, Meghan&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/34470598/meghan-podcast-royal-exit/&quot;&gt; bravely opened up about her miscarriage&lt;/a&gt; and said she &amp;#8220;learned to detach&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6644.  
  6645.  
  6646.  
  6647. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to Reshma, she said: “I&amp;#8217;ll bring this up if you are comfortable talking about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  6648.  
  6649.  
  6650.  
  6651. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know you&amp;#8217;ve spoken publicly about as you were doing Girl&amp;#8217;s Who Code, all the personal things that were happening for you at that time.&lt;/p&gt;
  6652.  
  6653.  
  6654.  
  6655. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And the miscarriages that you&amp;#8217;ve experienced. I&amp;#8217;ve spoken about the miscarriage that we experienced.&lt;/p&gt;
  6656.  
  6657.  
  6658.  
  6659. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And I think in some parallel way when you have to learn to detach from the thing that you have so much promise and hope for.&lt;/p&gt;
  6660.  
  6661.  
  6662.  
  6663. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And to be able to be okay at a certain point to let something go that you plan to love for a long time.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6769.  
  6770.  
  6771.  
  6772. &lt;p&gt;This year will be a special edition, as it is the first time WWE will indict an &amp;#8216;Immortal Moment,&amp;#8217; which is an iconic moment from WWE history.&lt;/p&gt;
  6773.

  6917. &lt;p&gt;TOTTENHAM are expected to part ways with supremo Scott Munn following the appointment of ex-Arsenal man Vinai Venkatesham.&lt;/p&gt;
  6918.  
  6919.  
  6920.  
  6921. &lt;p&gt;Aussie Munn, 51, has been Spurs&amp;#8217; chief football officer &amp;#8211; de facto No2 to chairman &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/daniel-levy/&quot;&gt;Daniel Levy&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; since September 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

  6930.  
  6931.  
  6932.  
  6933. &lt;p&gt;His post formally began just a few months after compatriot &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ange-postecoglou/&quot;&gt;Ange Postecoglou&lt;/a&gt; took charge as head coach.&lt;/p&gt;
  6934.  
  6935.  
  6936.  
  6937. &lt;p&gt;But Munn is now believed to be set for the exit door after the club &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34426207/tottenham-arsenal-vinai-venkatesham/&quot;&gt;lured former Gunners CEO Venkatesham to become their new chief executive&lt;/a&gt; from this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  6938.  
  6939.  
  6940.  
  6941. &lt;p&gt;Venkatesham, 44, will be responsible for all operations both on and off the pitch, which supporters quickly realised was a similar remit to the one Munn already held.&lt;/p&gt;
  6942.  
  6943.  
  6944.  
  6945. &lt;p&gt;Former City Football Group executive Munn has overseen a number of reviews in various departments during his time at Spurs.&lt;/p&gt;
  6946.  
  6947.  
  6948.  
  6949. &lt;p&gt;It has seen a number of employees move on, including in the scouting and medical department.&lt;/p&gt;
  6950.  
  6951.  
  6952.  
  6953. &lt;p&gt;Yet despite the changes to the latter, which saw long-serving head of medicine Geoff Scott depart last year, Spurs have suffered one of their most difficult seasons in recent memory when it comes to injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  6954.  
  6955.  
  6956.  
  6957. &lt;p&gt;Their number of sidelined players over the winter months regularly reached over double figures.&lt;/p&gt;
  6958.  
  6959.  
  6960.  
  6961. &lt;p&gt;They were missing captain &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/son-heung-min/&quot;&gt;Son Heung-min&lt;/a&gt; and defender Radu Dragusin for Thursday&amp;#8217;s vital quarter-final win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europa-league/&quot;&gt;Europa League&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  6970.  
  6971.  
  6972.  
  6973. &lt;p&gt;Venkatesham spent 14 years with arch-rivals &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt;, including four as chief exec, before stepping down last summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  6974.  
  6975.  
  6976.  
  6977. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on his appointment last week, he said: &amp;#8221; I’m excited to be joining &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196652/tottenham-hotspur/&quot;&gt;Tottenham Hotspur&lt;/a&gt; this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  6978.  
  6979.  
  6980.  
  6981. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After taking some time to recharge and evaluate my options, I believe this is an exceptional opportunity to work with Daniel [Levy], the Board and all of the staff, to take the Club forward.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7061.  
  7062.  
  7063. &lt;p&gt;That’s despite it impacting at least 90 per cent of women.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7064.  
  7065.  
  7066.  
  7067. &lt;p&gt;Research by Wellbeing of Women found that millions of women in the UK suffer with&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/33834022/women-experience-severe-period-pain-not-normal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; severe period pain&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/15838693/how-long-does-period-last/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;bleeding every month&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7068.  
  7069.  
  7070.  
  7071. &lt;p&gt;The 2023 survey also found that one in 10 girls aged 12 to 18 feel their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/21621212/nutritionist-eat-your-way-out-pms/&quot;&gt;symptoms are so debilitating&lt;/a&gt; it makes their lives not worth living.&lt;/p&gt;
  7072.  
  7073.  
  7074.  
  7075. &lt;p&gt;Like so many others, Joy Mažulytė, 26, from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;, had reached a point where her periods were crippling.&lt;/p&gt;
  7076.  
  7077.  
  7078.  
  7079. &lt;p&gt;“My &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/32224825/what-happens-body-menstrual-cycle-ovulation/&quot;&gt;menstrual cycle &lt;/a&gt;has always been difficult to manage, but it got considerably worse when I had an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/15379911/what-is-iud-how-does-the-coil-work/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;IUD &lt;/a&gt;[coil] put in, in 2020,” the photographer tells Sun Health.&lt;/p&gt;
  7080.  
  7081.  
  7082.  
  7083. &lt;p&gt;“After that I started bleeding heavily for at least seven days every month, I couldn’t stand up with the pain.&lt;/p&gt;
  7084.  
  7085.  
  7086.  
  7087. &lt;p&gt;“It was so debilitating, and had a seriously negative impact on my work and social life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7088.  
  7089.  
  7090.  
  7091. &lt;p&gt;“For at least one to two days a month, I was unable to function and had to cancel plans, missing some important celebrations.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7092.  
  7093.  
  7094.  
  7095. &lt;p&gt;But, after years of resorting to over-the-counter painkillers that didn’t work as well as trying other remedies like stretching, Joy finally found the relief she has longed for.&lt;/p&gt;
  7096.  
  7097.  
  7098.  
  7099. &lt;p&gt;It was Joy’s best friend Akvilė, a doctor, who pointed her in the direction of &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.samphireneuro.com/nettle/home&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;a new device called ‘Nettle’&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  7123. &lt;p&gt;The futuristic-looking headband is designed to transform symptoms of PMDD and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/endometriosis/&quot;&gt;endometriosis&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7124.  
  7125.  
  7126.  
  7127. &lt;p&gt;But it comes at a cost &amp;#8211; of £499.&lt;/p&gt;
  7128.  
  7129.  
  7130.  
  7131. &lt;p&gt;It works by using low current, electrical pulses &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/31484289/electric-stimulation-therapy-depression-health/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;(transcranial direct current stimulation or ‘tDCS’&lt;/a&gt;) delivered directly via electrodes to the parts of the brain that handle pain and mood &amp;#8211; the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and motor cortex. &lt;/p&gt;
  7132.  
  7133.  
  7134.  
  7135. &lt;p&gt;When Joy spotted they were running trials in London and were looking for volunteers to test the headband, she jumped at the chance.&lt;/p&gt;
  7136.  
  7137.  
  7138.  
  7139. &lt;p&gt;“I didn’t really know anything about it, I just totally trusted my friend,” she says.&lt;/p&gt;
  7140.  
  7141.  
  7142.  
  7143. &lt;p&gt;“But when I was chosen to take part, and it was all explained to me I remember thinking it was going to be historic &amp;#8211; a breakthrough in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/womens-health/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;women’s health&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7144.  
  7145.  
  7146.  
  7147. &lt;p&gt;Nettle creator, Emilė Radytė, tells Sun Health: “I invented Nettle after realising that women&amp;#8217;s hormones were not being considered in psychiatric treatments.&lt;/p&gt;
  7148.  
  7149.  
  7150.  
  7151. &lt;p&gt;“We spent three years with Samphire Neuroscience developing and testing Nettle’s technology to make it available for women all over the world.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7152.  
  7153.  
  7154.  
  7155. &lt;p&gt;Feedback from the early trials and users on the app, have shown many women not only struggle with PMS and period pain but often experience &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/6251600/women-suffer-premenstrual-dysphoric-disorder/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;PMDD&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/2133278/endometriosis-what-symptoms-treated/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;endometriosis&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/adhd/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ADHD&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34500790/early-signs-autism-children-before-turn-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;autism&lt;/a&gt; and other pain and mood disorders, Emilė says.&lt;/p&gt;
  7156.  
  7157.  
  7158.  
  7159. &lt;p&gt;Joy was given a headband to take home as part of the clinical trial, and was told to wear it for 20 minutes a day, five days before her period was due to start.&lt;/p&gt;
  7160.  
  7161.  
  7162.  
  7163. &lt;p&gt;“It literally feels like a nettle sting,” says Joy.&lt;/p&gt;
  7164.  
  7165.  
  7166.  
  7167. &lt;p&gt;“I find that for the first couple of days in each monthly session I barely notice any sensation, but as I get closer to my period the tingling gets stronger and stronger.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  7187. &lt;p&gt;Three months after first using the headband, Joy says she was left “astonished” by the results.&lt;/p&gt;

  7208.  
  7209.  
  7210.  
  7211. &lt;p&gt;The electrical current is thought to calm the pain pathways in the brain, and works to trick the brain into mirroring the follicular phase of&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/15902455/supercharge-period-harness-phases/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; the menstrual cycle&lt;/a&gt;, as opposed to the luteal phase.&lt;/p&gt;
  7212.  
  7213.  
  7214.  
  7215. &lt;p&gt;The follicular phase is the two weeks that follow the period in the menstrual cycle, when the body is preparing for reproduction. This tends to be when women experience increased energy, clearer skin, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/16425817/proven-ways-to-boost-your-mood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;elevated mood &lt;/a&gt;and even&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/33367740/boost-your-libido-without-aphrodisiacs-sex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; increased libido.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7216.  
  7217.  
  7218.  
  7219. &lt;p&gt;Clinical research has suggested that hormone fluctuations throughout a woman’s cycle can change function of the brain.&lt;/p&gt;
  7220.  
  7221.  
  7222.  
  7223. &lt;p&gt;Given it is women’s health, there haven’t been tonnes of studies &amp;#8211; but one, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nature.com/articles/s44294-024-00012-4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;published in the journal Nature (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;published in the journal Nature&lt;/a&gt;, studied women’s brain activities in three different phases of their cycle.&lt;/p&gt;
  7224.  
  7225.  
  7226.  
  7227. &lt;p&gt;It showed huge variation in how different brain regions worked, depending on the hormones present during different menstrual phases.&lt;/p&gt;
  7228.  
  7229.  
  7230.  
  7231. &lt;p&gt;For example, the early follicular phase (just after a period) had the lowest complexity in brain activity, but areas involved in focus and attention peaked. &lt;/p&gt;
  7232.

  7252. &lt;p&gt;Emile says mild side effects using Nettle are quite common, and include itching and tingling, which usually disappears within a few minutes of use within a session.&lt;/p&gt;
  7253.  
  7254.  
  7255.  
  7256. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile the most intense of the mild side effects are nausea and transient &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/26138416/common-different-types-headache-how-to-treat/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;headaches&lt;/a&gt; that have been reported in about 1 per cent of the cases, and resolve within 30 minutes. &lt;/p&gt;
  7257.  
  7258.  
  7259.  
  7260. &lt;p&gt;“There hasn&amp;#8217;t been a single serious side effect reported in over 30 years of this technology being used in the market,” Emile says.&lt;/p&gt;

  7300. &lt;p&gt;“Techniques like tDCS have shown promise in managing conditions like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/17325838/6-symptoms-depression-never-ignore/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;depression&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/26682242/pain-issues-struggle-living-chores/&quot;&gt;chronic pain&lt;/a&gt;, and even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/20071753/therapist-signs-anxiety-treatments/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;anxiety&lt;/a&gt;,” she tells Sun Health.&lt;/p&gt;
  7301.  
  7302.  
  7303.  
  7304. &lt;p&gt;“If this technology works as intended, it could provide a non-pharmacological, accessible alternative to traditional treatments for PMS and related symptoms like menstrual cramps and mood swings.&lt;/p&gt;
  7305.  
  7306.  
  7307.  
  7308. &lt;p&gt;“There are certainly positive aspects to this kind of innovation, but also important considerations regarding evidence, safety, and the broader context of healthcare for women.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7309.  
  7310.  
  7311.  
  7312. &lt;p&gt;Dr Misra-Sharp says there are still doubts about how strong the clinical evidence is for these devices, particularly for conditions like PMS, and emphasises that they need thorough clinical testing to confirm they work well and are safe.&lt;/p&gt;
  7313.  
  7314.  
  7315.  
  7316. &lt;p&gt;“As a GP, I would need to see a stronger evidence base before I could confidently recommend a device like this,” she adds.&lt;/p&gt;
  7317.  
  7318.  
  7319.  
  7320. &lt;p&gt;It’s important anyone thinking about trying the headband seeks medical advice from their GP, before using it.&lt;/p&gt;
  7321.  
  7322.  
  7323.  
  7324. &lt;p&gt;Dr Misra-Sharp says: “There are certain groups of people who should not use this device: Anyone with a history of epilepsy or seizure, people with metal implants in the head or neck, such as cochlear implants or deep brain stimulators and those with certain neurological conditions. Always speak to your GP or specialist if you’re unsure&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7325.  
  7326.  
  7327.  
  7328. &lt;p&gt;Joy says: “Using Nettle really tunes me into what I need, as a woman.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7329.  
  7330.  
  7331.  
  7332. &lt;p&gt;“In our society we’ve been taught to function as men, just going and going without much room for these fluctuations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7333.  
  7334.  
  7335.  
  7336. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve developed a new relationship with myself.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7337.

  7339.  
  7340. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  7341. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  7342. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;When heavy periods could be something sinister&lt;/h3&gt;
  7343. &lt;/div&gt;
  7344. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  7347. &lt;div&gt;
  7348. &lt;p&gt;WHEN it comes to periods, there is a textbook definition of normal &amp;#8211; but then there is also what a normal&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/periods/&quot;&gt;period&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;looks like for you.&lt;/p&gt;
  7349. &lt;p&gt;For some (lucky) people, these definitions overlap; for others, they don&amp;#8217;t.&lt;/p&gt;
  7350. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/page/15/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;recognises a &amp;#8216;normal period&amp;#8217; as losing between 30 and 60ml, or six to eight teaspoonfuls, each month. A &amp;#8216;heavy&amp;#8217; period&amp;#8217; is anything more than 80ml.&lt;/p&gt;
  7351. &lt;p&gt;Another, arguably simpler, way of working out whether your period is heavy is to count the number of pads or tampons you use.&lt;/p&gt;
  7352. &lt;p&gt;Having to change a pad or tampon every one to two hours, or emptying a menstrual cup more often than is recommended, is a sign your period is heavy.&lt;/p&gt;
  7353. &lt;p&gt;An&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/heavy-periods/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NHS test&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;can also help reveal whether your periods are heavy and if it&amp;#8217;s worth seeing your GP.&lt;/p&gt;
  7354. &lt;p&gt;Dr Fran Yarlett, GP and medical director at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thelowdown.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Lowdown&lt;/a&gt;, said: &amp;#8220;Heavy periods can be normal for some people.&lt;/p&gt;
  7355. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But if your periods have changed and become heavier, this can signify medical problems.&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;This could be:&lt;/p&gt;
  7356. &lt;ol&gt;
  7357. &lt;li&gt;Early-stage cervical cancer&lt;/li&gt;
  7358. &lt;li&gt;Fibroids (non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb)&lt;/li&gt;
  7359. &lt;li&gt;Perimenopause (the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause) &lt;/li&gt;
  7360. &lt;li&gt;Hypothyroidism (when the thyroid doesn&amp;#8217;t produce enough hormones &lt;/li&gt;
  7361. &lt;li&gt;Endometriosis (tissue similar to that in the womb grows in other areas of the body) &lt;/li&gt;
  7362. &lt;/ol&gt;
  7363. &lt;/div&gt;

  7412.  
  7413.  
  7414.  
  7415. &lt;p&gt;The main purchase was MDF sheets (22mm) which cost £22, but were £20 when she bought them.&lt;/p&gt;
  7416.  
  7417.  
  7418.  
  7419. &lt;p&gt;Nicky wrote: “I had 24 cuts across the longest edge of a 22mm MDF sheet at 50mm wide.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  7428.  
  7429.  
  7430.  
  7431. &lt;p&gt;She showed how she put her outside edges up to create her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34096967/woman-panelled-room-amazon-kit-diy/&quot;&gt;panelled &lt;/a&gt;look before caulking with a £1.50 B&amp;amp;Q product.&lt;/p&gt;
  7432.  
  7433.  
  7434.  
  7435. &lt;p&gt;Nicky continued: “I used caulk as the adhesive and for the edging (caused outrage) which I got so much abuse for on here from the usual male suspects.&lt;/p&gt;
  7436.  
  7437.  
  7438.

  7440.  
  7441.  
  7442.  
  7443. &lt;p&gt;“Otherwise, use that tube of adhesive you probably have laying around and if not you can buy this for around £5.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7479. &lt;p&gt;She shared: “Now I know most of us have a tin of paint laying around so I’ve calculated about £8-£9 for the amount I used on this project.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7496. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COLOUR DRENCHING &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7497. &lt;p&gt;Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space &amp;#8211; doors, radiators, and even furniture won’t escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige &amp;#8211; once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms. &lt;/p&gt;
  7498. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STATEMENT WALLPAPER &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7499. &lt;p&gt;Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme.&lt;/p&gt;
  7500. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BROKEN LIVING PLAN &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7501. &lt;p&gt;Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn’t quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces &amp;#8211; with a twist. “Broken plan” is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass.&lt;/p&gt;
  7502. &lt;/div&gt;
  7503. &lt;/div&gt;
  7504. &lt;/div&gt;
  7506.  
  7507.  
  7508.  
  7509. &lt;p&gt;Many people praised the transformation, with one calling it “gorgeous.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7510.  
  7511.  
  7512.  
  7513. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “It Looks beautiful.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7514.  
  7515.  
  7516.  
  7517. &lt;p&gt;A third commented: “Well done for using caulk, saves an expensive replastering job down the line.&lt;/p&gt;
  7518.  
  7519.

  7542. &lt;p&gt;A 200-1 NO-HOPER pulled off one of the biggest shocks in British racing history when winning at Newcastle.&lt;/p&gt;
  7543.  
  7544.  
  7545.  
  7546. &lt;p&gt;The Tracy Waggott-trained Heavenly Heather stayed on strongly to lead close home in the BetMGM Fillies&amp;#8217; And Mares&amp;#8217; Championships Handicap to pull off a massive upset.&lt;/p&gt;
  7547.

  7551.  
  7552.  
  7553.  
  7554. &lt;p&gt;The horse is one of nine 200-1 winners in the long history of the sport in this country, with the most recent being &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20898001/huge-racing-shock-inspiratrice-200-1-winner/&quot;&gt;Inspiratrice at Taunton in December 2022&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7555.  
  7556.  
  7557.  
  7558. &lt;p&gt;She is the joint-biggest priced winner ever on the Flat, with the British record winner of 250-1 coming over jumps when Equinoctial hit the target at Kelso in 1990.&lt;/p&gt;
  7559.  
  7560.  
  7561.  
  7562. &lt;p&gt;Heavenly Heather had shown promise when runner-up on her second career start, but in her other four outings she had been well-beaten.&lt;/p&gt;
  7563.  
  7564.  
  7565.  
  7566. &lt;p&gt;But the four-year-old chose a good time to produce a massive career best when finishing like a train under Amie Waugh in a £150,000 race on all-weather finals day.&lt;/p&gt;

  7601. &lt;p&gt;Couny Durham-based Waggott said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s absolutely marvellous, I can&amp;#8217;t believe it. &lt;/p&gt;
  7602.  
  7603.  
  7604.  
  7605. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She has always shown us a bit at home but she is heavy-framed and she takes loads of work to get fit. &lt;/p&gt;
  7606.  
  7607.  
  7608.  
  7609. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I thought she might hit the top six, I said to the owners if you take the first two horses in the betting out it was a pretty open race.&lt;/p&gt;
  7610.  
  7611.  
  7612.  
  7613. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve had a 50-1 winner and a 100-1 winner before, but obviously never anything like this. &lt;/p&gt;
  7614.  
  7615.  
  7616.  
  7617. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We always knew she was a good horse but it&amp;#8217;s taken her a long time to get right. This is absolutely amazing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7618.  
  7619.  
  7620.  
  7621. &lt;p&gt;And the filly didn&amp;#8217;t go unbacked, with Coral reporting they&amp;#8217;d taken 400 single bets for total stakes of £340.&lt;/p&gt;
  7622.  
  7623.  
  7624.  
  7625. &lt;p&gt;Coral&amp;#8217;s John Hill said: &amp;#8220;Heavenly Heather is one of the biggest priced winners in British horse racing history. &lt;/p&gt;
  7626.  
  7627.  
  7628.  
  7629. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Remarkably, we took just over 400 bets on the horse, so it has turned out to be a Good Friday for those punters today.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7723. &lt;p&gt;PAIGE SPIRANAC has been forced to defend her latest raunchy outfit after some fans labelled it a &amp;#8220;distraction&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7724.  
  7725.  
  7726.  
  7727. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/golf/&quot;&gt;golf&lt;/a&gt; influencer has gathered a colossal four million followers on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; alone.&lt;/p&gt;

  7740.  
  7741.  
  7742.  
  7743. &lt;p&gt;While &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paige-spiranac/&quot;&gt;Paige&lt;/a&gt; is often seen in golf attire and hitting balls on the &lt;span id=&quot;a6dacd28-9cf5-49da-844e-6438066e125d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/span&gt; range, her content is also synonymous with barely-there looks that leave fans hot under the collar.&lt;/p&gt;
  7744.  
  7745.  
  7746.  
  7747. &lt;p&gt;The American beauty&amp;#8217;s latest outfit saw her wearing a tight-fitting grey jumpsuit as she returned to one of her favourite golf ranges.&lt;/p&gt;
  7748.  
  7749.  
  7750.  
  7751. &lt;p&gt;The outfit showed off her figure but also covered most of her skin aside from a large backless section of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  7752.  
  7753.  
  7754.  
  7755. &lt;p&gt;Her original post saw her sharing a series of photos as she captioned the pics: &amp;#8220;I hit my very first golf ball on this range and all these years later it’s still one of my favourite places.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7756.  
  7757.  
  7758.  
  7759. &lt;p&gt;A reel of the look showing Paige practising her swing added: &amp;#8220;Don’t judge a book by its cover or in my case &lt;span id=&quot;f66325d4-25a4-4c47-b501-4a58080d7b92&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/span&gt; clubs and a onesie lol.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7760.  
  7761.  
  7762.  
  7763. &lt;p&gt;However, Paige was forced to defend her look after she moaned about how some viewers were &amp;#8220;mad&amp;#8221; over it.&lt;/p&gt;
  7764.  
  7765.  
  7766.  
  7767. &lt;p&gt;Taking to Instagram, she said: &amp;#8220;People are so mad about this outfit.&lt;/p&gt;
  7768.  
  7769.  
  7770.  
  7771. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The funny part is I really thought it was one of my more conservative looks lol.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7772.  
  7773.  
  7774.  
  7775. &lt;p&gt;Recent figures revealed how the 32-year-old &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34489701/paige-spiranac-instagram-earnings-rory-mcilroy-masters-win/&quot;&gt;earned more money on her Instagram posts than Masters winner Rory McIlroy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7776.  
  7777.  
  7778.  
  7779. &lt;p&gt;According to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://rotogrinders.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;RotoGrinders&lt;/a&gt;, McIlroy banks £6,512 per post thanks to his 3.2m followers.&lt;/p&gt;

  7803. &lt;p&gt;But Paige has even more fans, with her current number standing at a cool 4m.&lt;/p&gt;
  7804.  
  7805.  
  7806.  
  7807. &lt;p&gt;And as a result, the blonde beauty is raking in £8k every time she posts a photo online.&lt;/p&gt;
  7808.  
  7809.  
  7810.  
  7811. &lt;p&gt;However, McIlroy can take solace in the fact that he earns more than his professional rivals on Insta, with his win in Augusta earning him a tidy £3.16million.&lt;/p&gt;

  8002.  
  8003.  
  8004.  
  8005. &lt;p&gt;There is an &amp;#8220;egg-cellent&amp;#8221; selection of games to watch over the Easter break and several punts have caught our eye.&lt;/p&gt;
  8006.

  8010.  
  8011.  
  8012.  
  8013. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;SunSport&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s very own Will Pugh was joined by football broadcaster Kweku Afari and Betfair betting expert Sam Rosbottom to discuss this weekend&amp;#8217;s tempting selections.&lt;/p&gt;
  8014.  
  8015.  
  8016.  
  8017. &lt;p&gt;The panel discuss Wolves&amp;#8217; trip to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt;, Aston Villa facing Newcastle and away from the Premier League, look at the World Snooker Championship and Irish Grand National.&lt;/p&gt;
  8018.  
  8019.  
  8020.  
  8021. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Man Utd vs Wolves, Sunday 2pm&lt;/h2&gt;
  8022.  
  8023.  
  8024.  
  8025. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kweku: Wolves to win 5/2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8026.  
  8027.  
  8028.  
  8029. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Aside from Man Utd being awful, the stats back up a Wolves win. &lt;/p&gt;
  8030.  
  8031.  
  8032.  
  8033. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;United have lost 14 Prem games this season, which equals their total from last season and the last time they lost more league games was in the 1989-90 season where they lost 16 games. &lt;/p&gt;
  8034.  
  8035.  
  8036.  
  8037. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Wolves are in-form and have won their last four matches. That&amp;#8217;s  their best run in the top flight since January 1972.&lt;/p&gt;
  8038.  
  8039.  
  8040.  
  8041. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;United are only playing for Europa League football this year. So I think I&amp;#8217;m on to a winner in this one.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8042.  
  8043.  
  8044.  
  8045. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will: Over 4.5 goals 11/2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8046.  
  8047.  
  8048.  
  8049. &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;
  8050.  
  8051.  
  8052.  
  8053. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Looking at the omens, United have won all four of their home league games played on Easter Sunday by an aggregate score of 9-1 and this&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1226009/wolverhampton-wanderers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wolves&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;first&amp;nbsp;ever&amp;nbsp;league&amp;nbsp;match&amp;nbsp;played&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;Easter&amp;nbsp;Sunday.&amp;nbsp;Totally inexperienced,&amp;nbsp;they are normally&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;home&amp;nbsp;munching&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;their&amp;nbsp;eggs.&lt;/p&gt;
  8054.  
  8055.  
  8056.  
  8057. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Wolves have scored nine goals in their last four games and have not failed to bulge the net in their last 11. They haven&amp;#8217;t drawn a blank since January 25th against Arsenal.&lt;/p&gt;
  8058.  
  8059.  
  8060.  
  8061. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Since &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s first game, he&amp;#8217;s already lost more league games by three or more goals than he did in 167 games at Sporting.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8062.  
  8063.  
  8064.  
  8065. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34539048&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/2025/04/29-goncalo-guedes-battles-ball-959928811.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Soccer players battling for the ball.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34539048&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;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;It could be goals galore between United and Wolves[/caption]
  8066.  
  8067.  
  8068.  
  8069. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sam: Wolves to score first 7/5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8070.  
  8071.  
  8072.  
  8073. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Obviously a big night for them in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/europa-league/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Europa League&lt;/a&gt; and I think they&amp;#8217;re probably going to have a bit of a hangover.&lt;/p&gt;
  8074.  
  8075.  
  8076.  
  8077. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think the value is in backing Wolves to score the first goal in the game. When we look at the stats across United&amp;#8217;s last nine Prem games at Old Trafford, they&amp;#8217;ve only scored the first goal on one occasion, which is a disgrace, isn&amp;#8217;t it?&lt;/p&gt;
  8078.  
  8079.  
  8080.  
  8081. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Easter Sunday, United are going to get crucified.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8082.  
  8083.  
  8084.  
  8085. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Aston Villa vs Newcastle, Saturday 5:30pm&lt;/h2&gt;
  8086.  
  8087.  
  8088.  
  8089. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kweku: Aston Villa to win &amp;amp; both teams to score 3/1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8090.  
  8091.  
  8092.  
  8093. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196670/aston-villa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Aston Villa&lt;/a&gt; have only kept six clean sheets in the last 37 on home soil. &lt;/p&gt;
  8094.  
  8095.  
  8096.  
  8097. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And since losing their first home match of this season against Arsenal, Villa are unbeaten at Villa Park in the league, winning eight, drawing seven. &lt;/p&gt;
  8098.  
  8099.  
  8100.  
  8101. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you were to put this bet on midweek, you would have won some money. Put this bet on in the weekend, you&amp;#8217;re winning some money.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8102.  
  8103.  
  8104.  
  8105. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will: Rashford to score or assist 5/4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8106.  
  8107.  
  8108.  
  8109. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The stats show that he&amp;#8217;s been progressively better. Per 90 minutes in the Prem this season, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marcus-rashford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Marcus Rashford&lt;/a&gt; is having more touches, shots, creating more chances and attempting more dribbles per 90 minutes for Villa than he did at United. &lt;/p&gt;
  8110.  
  8111.  
  8112.  
  8113. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I fancy that will show up again this weekend and he will actually convert that into a goal contribution.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8114.  
  8115.  
  8116.  
  8117. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image_efcc3e.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Graphic comparing Marcus Rashford's stats for Villa and Man Utd.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34538860&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;538&quot; /&gt;
  8118.  
  8119.  
  8120.  
  8121. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sam: Murphy to score or assist 13/5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8122.  
  8123.  
  8124.  
  8125. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196669/newcastle-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Newcastle&lt;/a&gt; are on an incredible run of form. I wouldn&amp;#8217;t want to back against them. They&amp;#8217;ve won their last six games in all competitions.&lt;/p&gt;
  8126.  
  8127.  
  8128.  
  8129. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Jacob Murphy to score or assist at 13/5, this is ridiculous value for me. &lt;/p&gt;
  8130.  
  8131.  
  8132.  
  8133. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He has had a hand in 13 goals in his last 17 away Prem appearances for Newcastle, scoring four and nine assists. Unbelievable.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8134.  
  8135.  
  8136.  
  8137. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34539783&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/2025/04/lee-keuneke-every-second-media-987768727.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Jacob Murphy of Newcastle United in a soccer match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34539783&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Jacob Murphy is in fine form[/caption]
  8138.  
  8139.  
  8140.  
  8141. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;World Snooker Championship, starts Saturday&lt;/h2&gt;
  8142.  
  8143.  
  8144.  
  8145. &lt;p&gt;Sam: &amp;#8220;Big price for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ronnie-osullivan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ronnie O&amp;#8217;Sullivan&lt;/a&gt;. But I fancy John Higgins.&lt;/p&gt;
  8146.  
  8147.  
  8148.  
  8149. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He has dropped out the top 16 in the rankings, however, he did bounce back with a win in the Tour Championship. 12/1 could be a nice each-way bet.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8150.  
  8151.  
  8152.  
  8153. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image_f263af.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;2025 World Snooker Championship odds.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34539115&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;538&quot; /&gt;
  8154.  
  8155.  
  8156.  
  8157. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Irish Grand National, Monday 5pm&lt;/h2&gt;
  8158.  
  8159.  
  8160.  
  8161. &lt;p&gt;Sam: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve seen Willie Mullins make history by becoming the only ever trainer to win the English Grand National and the Scottish in back-to-back years. &lt;/p&gt;
  8162.  
  8163.  
  8164.  
  8165. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Everyone&amp;#8217;s saying he will add the Irish and it wouldn&amp;#8217;t be a surprise. High Class Hero his best shout.&lt;/p&gt;
  8166.  
  8167.  
  8168.  
  8169. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The favourite, Haiti Couleurs, won the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Got loads of stamina.&lt;/p&gt;
  8170.  
  8171.  
  8172.  
  8173. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A brilliant season for Now Is The Hour, a win here would really top that off nicely for Gavin Cromwell.&lt;/p&gt;
  8174.  
  8175.  
  8176.  
  8177. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Interestingly, this horse was cruising at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cheltenham-festival/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cheltenham Festival&lt;/a&gt;, but fell at the last. Stamina won&amp;#8217;t be an issue, just needs to brush up on jumping.&lt;/p&gt;
  8178.  
  8179.  
  8180.  
  8181. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And then something else at a little bit bigger price that is standing out for me. Better Days Ahead for Gordon Elliott could be an each-way shout.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8182.  
  8183.

  8231. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WITH Good Friday finally here, many have been left &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;scratching their heads as they discover the real reason behind the tradition of eating fish on this day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8244.  
  8245.  
  8246.  
  8247. &lt;p&gt;If you’re curious about why, it turns out there&amp;#8217;s a pretty straightforward reason.&lt;/p&gt;
  8248.  
  8249.  
  8250.  
  8251. &lt;p&gt;The debate recently made its way onto &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/reddit/&quot;&gt;Reddit&lt;/a&gt;, stirring quite the conversation amongst &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; users as they delved into the rationale behind the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/easter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Easter&lt;/a&gt; ritual.&lt;/p&gt;
  8252.  
  8253.  
  8254.  
  8255. &lt;p&gt;Posting on the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/u4kngu/do_practising_christians_have_to_eat_fish_on_good/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NoStupidQuestions&lt;/a&gt; thread, one Reddit user questioned: &amp;#8220;Do practising &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/religion/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Christians&lt;/a&gt; HAVE to eat fish on Good Friday?”&lt;/p&gt;
  8256.  
  8257.  
  8258.  
  8259. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/anonymous/&quot;&gt;anonymous&lt;/a&gt; user then shared: “I&amp;#8217;m a former Christian and now Agnostic, but feeling superstitious due to a rough month, and thought I should probably pay my dues to Uncle J today by abstaining from meat.&lt;/p&gt;
  8260.  
  8261.  
  8262.  
  8263. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The problem is I&amp;#8217;ve been out with my &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;dad&lt;/a&gt; and his friends all day, so I haven&amp;#8217;t had a chance to make food. Traditionally dinner with my mum would be salmon, but I live on my own.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8264.  
  8265.  
  8266.  
  8267. &lt;p&gt;The user continued: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s now midnight, I&amp;#8217;m kind of ready to hit the sack, but a part of me thinks that one HAS to eat fish today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8268.  
  8269.  
  8270.  
  8271. &lt;p&gt;“Like, you aren&amp;#8217;t meant to just sacrifice eating red meat and poultry, you specifically have to eat a symbolic fish while in prayer?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8272.  
  8273.  
  8274.  
  8275. &lt;p&gt;Reddit users eagerly flocked to the comments to share their two pence on the tradition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8276.  
  8277.  
  8278.  
  8279. &lt;p&gt;One user wrote: &amp;#8220;No, you don&amp;#8217;t have to eat fish on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34511877/easter-2025-asda-aldi-lidl-tesco-good-friday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Good Friday&lt;/a&gt;. Avoiding red meat and poultry on Fridays in general is mostly a Catholic tradition. Plenty of Christians don&amp;#8217;t follow it, especially Protestants.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8280.  
  8281.  
  8282.  
  8283. &lt;p&gt;A second expressed: &amp;#8220;They could choose to eat nothing or anything but meat. Since the traditional meal includes a protein, fish is the main protein of choice when meat is not available.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8306.  
  8307. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, another joined the conversation and stated: &amp;#8220;Even people who ascribe to the &amp;#8216;no meat on Good Friday&amp;#8217; tradition (not Biblical imperative, but tradition) can just eat a salad. Nowhere does it say you have to eat fish.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8308.  
  8309.  
  8310.  
  8311. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So w&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hy do some tuck into a fish dish on Good Friday?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  8312.  
  8313.  
  8314.  
  8315. &lt;p&gt;For many Christians, Good Friday marks a time for abstinence, commemorating Jesus&amp;#8217; sacrifice.&lt;/p&gt;
  8316.  
  8317.  
  8318.

  8320.  
  8321.  
  8322.  
  8323. &lt;p&gt;Over time, fish has become a popular choice for those abstaining from meat, allowing for a substantial meal without breaking tradition. &lt;/p&gt;
  8324.  
  8325.  
  8326.  
  8327. &lt;p&gt;While fish on Good Friday is a common custom, it is by no means universal and to some Christians, it&amp;#8217;s more about symbolism than strict adherence.&lt;/p&gt;

  8354. &lt;/ol&gt;
  8355. &lt;/div&gt;
  8356. &lt;/div&gt;
  8357. &lt;/div&gt;
  8359.  
  8360.  
  8361.  
  8362. &lt;p&gt;The practice stems from the Catholic Church&amp;#8217;s historical prohibition on meat consumption on Fridays, which has evolved over time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8363.  
  8364.  
  8365.  
  8366. &lt;p&gt;Fish often serves as the go-to substitute and now, even many non-Christians have embraced the Good Friday fish meal as part of cultural tradition.&lt;/p&gt;
  8367.  
  8368.  
  8369.  
  8370. &lt;p&gt;Now, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34476914/chef-best-regional-fish-and-chips-uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;fish and chips&lt;/a&gt; is a popular meal choice for lots of households in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt;, particularly on Good Friday, with many heading to their local chippie for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34517447/britains-best-chippies-good-friday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;fish and chip takeaway&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  8371.  
  8372.  
  8373.  
  8374. &lt;p&gt;Certain Christian denominations are fairly flexible about their dietary choices and for some, the act of abstaining from meat holds more significance than the actual meals consumed on the day.&lt;/p&gt;

  8435. &lt;p&gt;An official &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34393050/early-warning-signs-uti-turn-fatal-left-untreated/&quot;&gt;warning sign&lt;/a&gt; was put up just weeks ago on the sands but has since been mysteriously taken down.&lt;/p&gt;
  8436.  
  8437.  
  8438.  
  8439. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34312662/spain-hols-hotspot-bans-foreign-land-sales/&quot;&gt;holiday hotspot&lt;/a&gt; fronts a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34122505/town-uk-venice-tourist-nightmare/&quot;&gt;retirement village&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; but people living there say they are fed-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  8440.  
  8441.  
  8442.  
  8443. &lt;p&gt;Local Steve Shepherd, 68, a retired newspaper executive, told The Sun: &amp;#8220;It’s no longer safe to take children there to play on their beach.&lt;/p&gt;
  8444.  
  8445.  
  8446.  
  8447. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It started about three years ago and has got worse every year since since – I was with my two and three-year-old grandchildren last summer and there were naked men deliberately showing off and flaunting themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
  8448.  
  8449.  
  8450.  
  8451. &lt;p&gt;“It is so offensive that we can no longer take our grandchildren to play on the beach. Unfortunately the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34399072/uk-beach-mistaken-thailand/&quot;&gt;beach is now getting a reputation&lt;/a&gt; – and becoming famous &amp;#8211; so the problem will only get worse.&lt;/p&gt;
  8452.  
  8453.  
  8454.  
  8455. &lt;p&gt;“Apart from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34218326/cambridge-city-where-tourist-visit/&quot;&gt;holidaymakers&lt;/a&gt; here there are people who live her all the time and now in the summer they can’t go down to the sea.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8456.  
  8457.  
  8458.  
  8459. &lt;p&gt;The Azure Seas village, which has more than 100 holiday and permanent cabins and&amp;nbsp;homes which cost up to £200,000, is set in 15 acres of woodland on the cliffs overlooking the controversial beach and has its own direct access to the sea.&lt;/p&gt;
  8460.  
  8461.  
  8462.  
  8463. &lt;p&gt;Sales manager Duncan Gooch said: ”It’s got nothing to do with nudity what so ever – it is the behaviour of some who go there, a group who think it is OK to indulge in lewd and sexual behaviour on the beach, openly in front of other people.&lt;/p&gt;
  8464.  
  8465.  
  8466.  
  8467. &lt;p&gt;“It is blatant and deliberate – some are clearly exhibitionists and we take offence – as does everyone living or staying here – at their behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  8468.  
  8469.  
  8470.  
  8471. &lt;p&gt;“Things have got worse over recent so year and are now so bad that a lot of people simply won’t go onto the beach because it is full of naked exhibitionists parading up and down and having sex. &lt;/p&gt;
  8472.  
  8473.  
  8474.  
  8475. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have complained to the police and they say they will look into it.&lt;/p&gt;
  8476.  
  8477.  
  8478.  
  8479. &lt;p&gt;“But they told us there was nothing we could do about it. Callers who complain are simply give a reference number.&lt;/p&gt;
  8480.  
  8481.  
  8482.  
  8483. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have 100 holiday and permanent homes here but this perverted sexual activity – which goes on from dawn until after dusk – is not what they want to see.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8484.  
  8485.  
  8486.  
  8487. &lt;p&gt;The controversial notice warned: ”Corton Beach is not a naturist beach. Lewd behaviour will not be tolerated and may be recorded by CCTV and reported to the police.&lt;/p&gt;

  8501.  
  8502.  
  8503. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Causing an offence to others is a criminal offence and all cases will be reported form prosecution. By order of Corton Parish Council.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8504.  
  8505.  
  8506.  
  8507. &lt;p&gt;The parish council say they put up the sign after numerous complaints from local people about indecent behaviour on the beach, including individuals openly engaging in sexual acts and walkers being accosted.&lt;/p&gt;
  8508.  
  8509.  
  8510.  
  8511. &lt;p&gt;A parish council spokesman said: “Businesses overlooking the beach have also been severely impacted, reporting substantial financial losses directly attributed to these behaviours. &lt;/p&gt;
  8512.  
  8513.  
  8514.  
  8515. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The parish council is obligated to support and protect the parishioners and businesses within its jurisdiction.&lt;/p&gt;
  8516.  
  8517.  
  8518.  
  8519. &lt;p&gt;“This is our fundamental responsibility, and the sign was intended to serve as a warning that engaging in such acts would be reported to the police. &lt;/p&gt;
  8520.  
  8521.  
  8522.  
  8523. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This stance remains unchanged.“&lt;/p&gt;
  8524.  
  8525.  
  8526.  
  8527. &lt;p&gt;A spokesman for the council said: ”The sign stated that the beach was not a naturist beach and was intended to clarify that it is no longer a designated as such since nudism can be practiced anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
  8528.  
  8529.  
  8530.  
  8531. &lt;p&gt;“The council recognises that nudism is a legal activity and was not attempting to prohibit, outlaw, or prevent naturists from enjoying the beach and we don’t intend to imply that naturists were responsible for this behaviour in any way.&lt;/p&gt;
  8532.  
  8533.  
  8534.  
  8535. &lt;p&gt;“The sign was a warning to individuals whose lewd activities were causing distress to other beach-goers but we do not intend to imply or suggest that naturists were responsible for this behaviour in any way.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8536.  
  8537.  
  8538.  
  8539. &lt;p&gt;District councillor Paul Ashdown added: &amp;#8220;Most people are aware that sunbathing in the nude on the beach is not illegal but some residents have witnessed lewd behaviour which is offensive and should not be conducted in a public space.&lt;/p&gt;
  8540.  
  8541.  
  8542.  
  8543. &lt;p&gt;“It would be good to discourage this sort of behaviour so I understand the purpose of the sign &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp; but I have no idea who might have taken it down. &lt;/p&gt;
  8544.  
  8545.  
  8546.  
  8547. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have now asked the council leader asking for help to resolve this issue.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8548.  
  8549.  
  8550.  
  8551. &lt;p&gt;An East Suffolk council spokesman said: ”We had requested removal of a sign placed without relevant permission on a signpost on East Suffolk Council land. &lt;/p&gt;
  8552.  
  8553.  
  8554.  
  8555. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The parish council has informed us that the sign had been removed without its knowledge over the weekend.”&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8556.  
  8557.  
  8558.  
  8559. &lt;p&gt;This comes as locals from another seaside resort say their town is being ruined by millions of&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34160083/seaside-fight-drink-drugs-street/&quot;&gt; day-trippers who fight, drink and use drugs in the street. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8560.  
  8561.  
  8562.  
  8563. &lt;p&gt;Weymouth in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dorset/&quot;&gt;Dorset&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is famous for its sandy beaches, which attracts two million day trips a year and millions of holidaymakers&amp;#8217;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;annually.&lt;/p&gt;
  8564.  
  8565.  
  8566.  
  8567. &lt;p&gt;But recently, some locals and BnB and hotel owners have been left fuming following reports of fights, drinking and even&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34009304/our-seaside-town-is-overrun-with-heroin-dealerskids-playgrounds-are-a-no-go-area-and-were-scared-to-go-out-after-dark/&quot;&gt;drug deals&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in their streets.&lt;/p&gt;
  8568.  
  8569.  
  8570.  
  8571. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31867975/yobs-banned-public-spaces-respect-orders-anti-social/&quot;&gt;anti-social behaviour&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;has become so bad, local&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;owners claim customers have vowed to never come back.&lt;/p&gt;
  8572.  
  8573.  
  8574.  
  8575. &lt;p&gt;Local authorities, they added, need to do more to tackle the constant stench of marijuana in the air, and help tackle the increasing incidents of anti-social behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  8576.  
  8577.  
  8578.  
  8579. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, fuming residents say their town has been destroyed by &amp;#8220;scumbag&amp;#8221; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; tourists who bring&lt;a href=&quot;https://iframe.thesun.co.uk/news/27343545/town-social-media-tourists-drunks/&quot;&gt; &amp;#8220;vomiting drunks&amp;#8221; to the area.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8580.  
  8581.  
  8582.  
  8583. &lt;p&gt;Whitby in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/north-yorkshire/&quot;&gt;North Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is famous for its towering cliffs, unspoilt beaches and award-winning fish and chips.&lt;/p&gt;
  8584.  
  8585.  
  8586.  
  8587. &lt;p&gt;But locals are fed-up with &amp;#8220;talentless&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot;&gt;influencers&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;wreaking havoc in the seaside town.&lt;/p&gt;
  8588.  
  8589.  
  8590.  
  8591. &lt;p&gt;Writer GP Taylor slammed one visitor who allegedly blocked traffic and pedestrians while taking&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/22185439/selfies-create-happier-memories-photographs-study/&quot;&gt;selfies&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on the seafront.&lt;/p&gt;
  8592.  
  8593.  
  8594.  
  8595. &lt;p&gt;He said the influencer had a comeuppance when a seagull went to the toilet on her head.&lt;/p&gt;
  8596.  
  8597.  
  8598.  
  8599. &lt;p&gt;Taylor told the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13310613/drones-vloggers-nudist-beach-britain-outrage.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mail&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Social media influencers are talentless scumbags.&lt;/p&gt;
  8600.  
  8601.  
  8602.  
  8603. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All they do is set up shots which are not real and lie into their cameras.&lt;/p&gt;
  8604.  
  8605.  
  8606.  
  8607. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They attract the wrong sort of person &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alcohol/&quot;&gt;drunks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who vomit in the street and think they can behave how they want.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8608.  
  8609.  
  8610.  
  8611. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  8612. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  8613. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Our picturesque seaside town is being ruined by NUDIST beach&lt;/h3&gt;
  8614. &lt;/div&gt;
  8615. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  8618. &lt;div&gt;
  8619. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By &lt;a style=&quot;font-size: revert&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/emer-scully/&quot; rel=&quot;author&quot;&gt;Emer Scully&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8620. &lt;p&gt;A NUDIST beach has been slammed by locals who say perverts treat it like a porn set.&lt;/p&gt;
  8621. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22051301/uk-seaside-town-nicknamed-bohemia-on-sea/&quot;&gt;picturesque&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Shellness, on the popular&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21110710/drugs-crime-unemployment-seaside-town/&quot;&gt;Isle of Sheppey&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kent/&quot;&gt;Kent&lt;/a&gt;, has been an &amp;#8220;official&amp;#8221; nudist beach since the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt;
  8622. &lt;p&gt;Dozens of naturists flock to the sand dunes on sunny days to enjoy sunbathing and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/swimming/&quot;&gt;swimming&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;without clothes.&lt;/p&gt;
  8623. &lt;p&gt;Yet the area has more recently been plagued by &amp;#8220;sad, middle-aged men getting up to no good&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8624. &lt;p&gt;Stuart Haylock, 50, who lives near&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/maidstone/&quot;&gt;Maidstone&lt;/a&gt;, claimed he has seen &amp;#8220;shocking&amp;#8221; things over the last few weeks &amp;#8211; as he put up a fence close to the beach.&lt;/p&gt;
  8625. &lt;p&gt;The former&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/royal-navy/&quot;&gt;Royal Navy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;serviceman said: &amp;#8220;Sadly some parts of society seem to think that because it&amp;#8217;s a naturist area it should be treated like a porn set.&lt;/p&gt;
  8626. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What I&amp;#8217;ve witnessed in the past couple of weeks is sad, lonely middle-aged men getting up to no good.&lt;/p&gt;
  8627. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve spoken with some of the actual naturists and they&amp;#8217;re lovely people. What they&amp;#8217;re trying to do is just sunbathe naked without any interaction with perverts.&lt;/p&gt;
  8628. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But I can only tell you what I&amp;#8217;ve physically seen in the last few days. It&amp;#8217;s shocking.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8629. &lt;p&gt;Another man, who did not want to be named but lives close to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/beach/&quot;&gt;beach&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;said he has called the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22061141/met-police-officer-sacked-sexual-assault/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;a number of times&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8630. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;These perverts have been using the area for sex.&lt;/p&gt;
  8631. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There could be kids coming round here but they don&amp;#8217;t care. Many of them don&amp;#8217;t just stay for a few hours either, they park up in the nearby car park and stay for a week.&lt;/p&gt;
  8632. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The actual naturists themselves tend to be alright. They&amp;#8217;ve put some signs up now as we did used to have a problem with them staying in their area, but now it&amp;#8217;s okay.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8633. &lt;/div&gt;
  8634. &lt;/div&gt;
  8635. &lt;/div&gt;

  8691.

  8694. &lt;p&gt;The presenter, 43, revealed last year she was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32090407/fern-cotton-reveals-shes-found-two-tumours/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;having imminent surgery&lt;/a&gt; after discovering two tumours on her jawline.&lt;/p&gt;

  8711.  
  8712.  
  8713.  
  8714. &lt;p&gt;Fearne wrote on Instagram: &amp;#8220;Had an ultra sound today and I&amp;#8217;m happy to say that I&amp;#8217;m healing well post operation and there is not a scrap of tumour left on my parotid gland. Grateful. &lt;/p&gt;
  8715.  
  8716.  
  8717.  
  8718. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To those of you who sent me messages that have a similar operation coming up I&amp;#8217;m sending love for your recovery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8719.  
  8720.  
  8721.  
  8722. &lt;p&gt;Last December, Fearne shared candid snaps of the gradual &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32432110/fearne-cotton-tumour-scars-surgery/#:~:text=FEARNE%20Cotton%20has%20given%20an,scars%20that%20she's%20left%20with.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;stages of healing&lt;/a&gt; after the procedure to remove the benign tumours &amp;#8211; including the scars that she was left with.&lt;/p&gt;
  8723.  
  8724.  
  8725.  
  8726. &lt;p&gt;The wellness guru told fans on social media: &amp;#8220;The human body is incredible. In less than three weeks you can barely notice where I had the tumour removed. I feel almost normal.&lt;/p&gt;
  8727.  
  8728.  
  8729.  
  8730. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My ear is still quite numb and my face a little tender but other than that I&amp;#8217;m feeling good.&lt;/p&gt;
  8731.  
  8732.  
  8733.  
  8734. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Only swipe if you want to see the gradual stages of healing. It&amp;#8217;s not massively gruesome but it certainly looks worse than photo number 1.&lt;/p&gt;
  8735.  
  8736.  
  8737.  
  8738. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I found the whole process fascinating and feel very grateful that the operation went well and that the tumour was benign.&lt;/p&gt;
  8739.  
  8740.  
  8741.  
  8742. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My surgeon Professor O&amp;#8217;Flynn made me feel extremely calm and all the nurses were complete angels.&lt;/p&gt;
  8743.  
  8744.  
  8745.  
  8746. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nurse Jackie was especially amazing whilst I was in hospital telling me to get off my phone and nap etc. I needed a firm telling off at times.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8801. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 2011&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Fearne Cotton and Jesse Wood began dating one another after meeting at a party in Ibiza. Fearne had split from her ex, also called Jesse, just two months prior whilst Jesse Wood had separated from his wife of eight years, Tilly, in 2010. &lt;/p&gt;
  8802. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;August 2012&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The couple confirm they are expecting their first child together just 14 months into their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  8803. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 2013&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Fearne gives birth to their son Rex Rayne Wood and takes an extended period of leave from her mid-morning show on BBC Radio 1 to focus on motherhood.&lt;/p&gt;
  8804. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;December 2013&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The couple confirm they are engaged and reveal their plans to marry the following year.&lt;/p&gt;
  8805. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;July 2014&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Fearne and Jesse wed in an intimate London ceremony on the 4th of July. The showbiz wedding is attended by guests including Holly Willoughby, Keith Lemon and the member of supergroup, McBusted. &lt;/p&gt;
  8806. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 2015&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The couple become parents once more as they welcome their daughter, Honey Krissy Wood.&lt;/p&gt;
  8807. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;July 2020&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Fearne makes a rare admission about the state of her marriage and admits that the Covid lockdown has put pressure on her and Jesse. She admitted to rowing with him in front of their children as a result of being “stuck within four walls trying to survive”. Fearne said of their rowing antics: “I am a very fiery ­person, and Jesse can also be quite fiery. We’ve certainly argued in front of the kids. Most parents have at some point. It’s not regular but we have definitely had a pop at each other in front of them — and you don’t feel good about it after. I’ve also shouted at my kids like I think most parents have, especially during lockdown.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8808. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;July 2024 &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Fearne and Jesse celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary and appear happier than ever by taking part in a Beckham-esque photoshoot by donning their original wedding attire.&lt;/p&gt;
  8809. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3rd December 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Fearne shares her shock at finding two benign tumours on her jawline that require immediate surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
  8810. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;13 December 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Just 10 days later, Fearne confirms her marriage is over and that she has split from Jesse for good.&lt;/p&gt;
  8811. &lt;/div&gt;
  8812. &lt;/div&gt;
  8813. &lt;/div&gt;
  8815.  
  8816.  
  8817.  
  8818. &lt;p&gt;Just after celebrating their 10-year anniversary, the presenter shared on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; that she was calling time on her marriage.&lt;/p&gt;
  8819.  
  8820.  
  8821.  
  8822. &lt;p&gt;Addressing their surprise split, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/fearne-cotton/&quot;&gt;Fearne&lt;/a&gt; said: &amp;#8220;It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8823.  
  8824.

  8890.  
  8891.  
  8892.  
  8893. &lt;p&gt;Towie star Ella, 24, was seen sobbing as the names were announced.&lt;/p&gt;
  8894.  
  8895.  
  8896.  
  8897. &lt;p&gt;An upset Ella told her housemates: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not about me, I&amp;#8217;m not crying because of me, I&amp;#8217;m crying because I feel for them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8898.  
  8899.  
  8900.  
  8901. &lt;p&gt;But some fans have said that Ella is quick to turn on the waterworks in a bid to secure more &amp;#8220;airtime&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8902.  
  8903.  
  8904.  
  8905. &lt;p&gt;Some viewers have claimed this is part of her &amp;#8220;gameplan&amp;#8221; after crying on a number of occasions.&lt;/p&gt;
  8906.  
  8907.  
  8908.  
  8909. &lt;p&gt;One spotted this clue and wrote: &amp;#8220;Ella crying while looking at the cameras,&amp;#8221; with a laughing emoji.&lt;/p&gt;
  8910.  
  8911.  
  8912.

  8917. &lt;p&gt;A third asked: &amp;#8220;Does Ella go a day without crying?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8918.  
  8919.  
  8920.  
  8921. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Angellica and Ella trying to steal Patsy and Daley&amp;#8217;s moment, they weren&amp;#8217;t even up for eviction, it wasn&amp;#8217;t about them,&amp;#8221; a fourth said.&lt;/p&gt;
  8922.  
  8923.  
  8924.  
  8925. &lt;p&gt;Later in the episode Ella and Patsy had a major clash.&lt;/p&gt;

  8949. &lt;p&gt;Things took an awkward turn when the&amp;nbsp;Ella exposed some cheeky DMs from a married celeb &amp;#8211; and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/patsy-palmer/&quot;&gt;Patsy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;didn&amp;#8217;t hold back with her fiery response.&lt;/p&gt;
  8950.  
  8951.  
  8952.  
  8953. &lt;p&gt;Spearheaded by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24653909/danny-beard-britains-got-talent-drag-race/&quot;&gt;Danny Beard&lt;/a&gt;, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rupauls-drag-race/&quot;&gt;Drag Race&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;star asked his fellow housemates: “Should we do some like, &lt;span id=&quot;2cef5404-a652-4eff-a9c6-440782d604df&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;never have I ever&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;ded51102-d5da-4bbb-8988-ba82fa5453f2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hooked&lt;/span&gt; up with a really famous person.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8954.  
  8955.  
  8956.  
  8957. &lt;p&gt;Reality beauty&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ella-rae-wise/&quot;&gt;Ella&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;quickly replied: “Yes, that’s a good one.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8958.  
  8959.  
  8960.  
  8961. &lt;p&gt;When none of the housemates raised their hands Danny questioned: “No?”&lt;/p&gt;
  8962.  
  8963.  
  8964.  
  8965. &lt;p&gt;Ella then chimed: “Or never have I ever had a really famous person in my DM’s. Oh, I have, mine’s a naughty one cause he’s got a wife.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8966.  
  8967.  
  8968.  
  8969. &lt;p&gt;Speaking quietly to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34441541/cbb-chesney-hawkes-drug-alcohol-addiction/&quot;&gt;Chesney&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Patsy fired back: “No, you better not share that. Don’t share things about people with wives.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8970.  
  8971.  
  8972.  
  8973. &lt;p&gt;“I hate that kind of thing. It brings it low. Like we’re not scum of the &lt;span id=&quot;f7dd949a-395f-43d3-8374-7b62f63f66d2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;earth&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8974.  
  8975.  
  8976.  
  8977. &lt;p&gt;Having overheard the soap star Ella protested: “Why is everyone so serious today?”&lt;/p&gt;
  8978.  
  8979.  
  8980.  
  8981. &lt;p&gt;She continued: “Pats made me feel really bad about saying that. But I didn’t reply to the DM. I didn’t reply to the DM.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8982.  
  8983.  
  8984.  
  8985. &lt;p&gt;Patsy then replied: “I think it’s sometimes good to flag up ‘cause everyone gets carried away.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8986.  
  8987.  
  8988.  
  8989. &lt;p&gt;But you do have to be protective of yourself ‘cause you might regret it in the morning. You know how things can go and it’s not &lt;span id=&quot;2d795878-4e12-4124-b35f-4079b1e16297&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8990.  
  8991.  
  8992.  
  8993. &lt;p&gt;Ella quickly clarified her comment, saying:&amp;nbsp;“Oh no, this was obviously before he was married. He’s married now&amp;#8230;”&lt;/p&gt;
  8994.  
  8995.  
  8996.  
  8997. &lt;p&gt;The Towie star has been in a rough spot since entering&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/big-brother/&quot;&gt;Big Brother&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;house&amp;nbsp;after dumping partner&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dan-edgar/&quot;&gt;Dan Edgar&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after 2 years together.&lt;/p&gt;
  8998.  
  8999.  
  9000.  
  9001. &lt;p&gt;Now, Dan has furiously vowed never to take his ex Ella back.&lt;/p&gt;
  9002.  
  9003.  
  9004.  
  9005. &lt;p&gt;Fans were convinced Ella broke it off with Dan for a showmance with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-hughes/&quot;&gt;Chris Hughes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the house, but the pair have clashed.&lt;/p&gt;
  9006.  
  9007.  
  9008.  
  9009. &lt;p&gt;Towie bosses have since been hopeful of a reconciliation on the &lt;span id=&quot;aaa81a36-ed38-4f4a-bf4f-03db9cbd8515&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; Towie series &amp;#8211; but Dan is having none of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  9010.  
  9011.  
  9012.  
  9013. &lt;p&gt;Our source said: &amp;#8220;Dan is absolutely fuming about how he was played by Ella.&lt;/p&gt;
  9014.  
  9015.  
  9016.  
  9017. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He feels used that she dumped him straight before going on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity-big-brother/&quot;&gt;Celebrity Big Brother&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in hopes of a showmance.&lt;/p&gt;
  9018.  
  9019.  
  9020.  
  9021. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Even though it&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34448860/cbbs-ella-rae-wise-gameplan-backfired-split-dan-chris-hughes/&quot;&gt;backfired on her&lt;/a&gt;, it doesn&amp;#8217;t make things easier. Ella embarrassed him in a bid to gain popularity and more followers.&lt;/p&gt;
  9022.  
  9023.  
  9024.  
  9025. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The cast have heard there&amp;#8217;s been talk about producers asking Dan to get back with Ella on-screen when she gets out of the house, but he&amp;#8217;s not having it.&lt;/p&gt;
  9026.  
  9027.  
  9028.  
  9029. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s made her bed, now she needs to lie in it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9113. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/hollywood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hollywood &lt;/a&gt;star’s tragic end befits a loner, someone without kids to check on them. &lt;/p&gt;
  9114.  
  9115.  
  9116.  
  9117. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gene-hackman/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gene&lt;/a&gt; had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34085101/gene-hackman-children-inherit-estate-despite-will-death/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;two daughters&lt;/a&gt; living just one state and a few hours drive away. So how and why?&lt;/p&gt;
  9118.  
  9119.  
  9120.  
  9121. &lt;p&gt;My dad &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/22266395/new-alzheimers-drug-donanemab-treatment-clare-oreilly/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mick was diagnosed with the same condition&lt;/a&gt; as Gene in 2020. He&amp;#8217;s 76. &lt;/p&gt;
  9122.  
  9123.  
  9124.  
  9125. &lt;p&gt;Dad has Alzheimer’s and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dementia/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;dementia&lt;/a&gt; and he’s got more &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/30311553/eight-subtle-signs-early-dementia/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;forgetful and disorientated&lt;/a&gt; in the almost five years he’s had his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/24441595/dementia-walk-signs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;diagnosis &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp; there&amp;#8217;s not a day goes by that we don&amp;#8217;t chat, even if it&amp;#8217;s for a few minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  9126.  
  9127.  
  9128.  
  9129. &lt;p&gt;He always starts the call with his usual “hello love, no news or dramas here…” and we often chat about the weather or I try to get him to remember what my 76-year-old mum Irene made him for lunch that day. They’re short chats but they matter.&lt;/p&gt;
  9130.  
  9131.  
  9132.  
  9133. &lt;p&gt;He forgot years ago how to send text messages but because I know he can still read them I send them frequently, pictures of blossom on the trees or dinner when I’ve made toad in the hole (his favourite).&lt;/p&gt;
  9134.  
  9135.  
  9136.  
  9137. &lt;p&gt;He lives 205 miles away but I’m taking him to a hospital appointment on Tuesday to give Mum a break. &lt;/p&gt;

  9173. &lt;p&gt;Poor Gene had the loving support of a wife, but when the post-mortem showed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33746813/gene-hackman-cause-of-death-betsy-arakawa-update/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;she died a whole week before him&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;police &lt;/a&gt;say they found no evidence that he had communicated with anyone in the intervening seven days it took for him to pass.&lt;/p&gt;
  9174.  
  9175.  
  9176.  
  9177. &lt;p&gt;We don&amp;#8217;t know what has gone on between the actor and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33936044/gene-hackman-betsy-arakawa-family-block-autopsy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;his children &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; only that his wife Betsy was the sole beneficiary of his will, with the last update in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
  9178.  
  9179.  
  9180.  
  9181. &lt;p&gt;And that he confessed that he had been &amp;#8216;selfish&amp;#8217; as an actor. &lt;/p&gt;
  9182.  
  9183.  
  9184.  
  9185. &lt;p&gt;In previous interviews, he had talked about how his acting jobs would separate them for three or four months at a time and that his success was always hanging over the heads of his kids.&lt;/p&gt;
  9186.  
  9187.  
  9188.  
  9189. &lt;p&gt;Whatever happened, to think that it resulted in such a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33754539/betsy-arakawas-final-hours-gene-hackman-dead/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tragically lonely death&lt;/a&gt; is heartbreaking and we as a society need to take a long hard look at family dynamics in the 21st century.&lt;/p&gt;

  9236. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  9237. While experts have warned that dementia diagnoses in England have reached record numbers, there have been a number of recent advances against brain robbing diseases. &lt;/p&gt;
  9239. &lt;div&gt;
  9240. &lt;p&gt;From &amp;#8220;game-changing&amp;#8221; drugs gaining approval to blood tests that can spot the condition years before symptoms, here are other major Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s breakthroughs.&lt;/p&gt;
  9241. &lt;ul&gt;
  9242. &lt;li&gt;A &amp;#8220;game-changing&amp;#8221; Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s drug called &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/22266395/new-alzheimers-drug-donanemab-treatment-clare-oreilly/&quot;&gt;donanemab&lt;/a&gt;, that slows mental decline by up to 60 per cent &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/28923409/alzheimers-drug-donanemab-kisunla-approved-us-uk-decision/&quot;&gt;has been approved in the United States&lt;/a&gt;. A UK decision on whether the drug will become available to patients in the UK with early symptoms is expected imminently.&lt;/li&gt;
  9243. &lt;/ul&gt;
  9244. &lt;ul&gt;
  9245. &lt;li&gt;A blood test that detects Alzheimer’s up to 15 years before symptoms emerge is set to be made &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/28411157/blood-test-spot-alzheimers-years-before-symptoms-nhs-free/&quot;&gt;free on the NHS within a year&lt;/a&gt;. The new test is cheaper, easier and at least as accurate as the current diagnosis options and works by measuring levels of a protein in the blood called p-tau217.&lt;/li&gt;
  9246. &lt;/ul&gt;
  9247. &lt;ul&gt;
  9248. &lt;li&gt;Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind test that could predict dementia &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/28324746/test-predict-dementia-years-before-diagnosis/&quot;&gt;up to nine years before a diagnosis&lt;/a&gt;, with 80 per cent accuracy. It involves analysing network of connections in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/21098291/simple-online-brain-test-risk-dementia-signs/&quot;&gt;brain&lt;/a&gt; when it&amp;#8217;s in &amp;#8220;idle mode&amp;#8221; to look for very early signs of the condition.&lt;/li&gt;
  9249. &lt;/ul&gt;
  9250. &lt;ul&gt;
  9251. &lt;li&gt;Scientists have also put AI to the test, developing machine learning models were able to spot early warning signs of the memory-robbing condition &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/26721585/ai-machine-learn-predict-alzheimers-dementia/&quot;&gt;up to seven years before Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s symptoms appear.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  9252. &lt;/ul&gt;
  9253. &lt;ul&gt;
  9254. &lt;li&gt;A woman who has evaded Alzheimer’s disease despite half her relatives getting it could &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/25025975/woman-clues-alzheimers-dementia-cure/&quot;&gt;hold the clues to how to prevent it&lt;/a&gt;, with scientists pinpointing a particular gene which they think could help prevent &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alzheimers/&quot;&gt;Alzheimer’s&lt;/a&gt; from progressing. &lt;/li&gt;
  9255. &lt;/ul&gt;
  9256. &lt;/div&gt;
  9257. &lt;/div&gt;
  9258. &lt;/div&gt;
  9260.  
  9261.  
  9262.  
  9263. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;Confused and scared&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  9264.  
  9265.  
  9266.  
  9267. &lt;p&gt;What breaks my heart more than anything is how confused and scared he must have been. Dad looks constantly for Mum when he can’t find her.&lt;/p&gt;
  9268.  
  9269.  
  9270.  
  9271. &lt;p&gt;He’s bewildered if his usual routine is changed too much. The thought of Gene, who at 95, was looked after by his 65 year old wife, not knowing what to do is tragic.&lt;/p&gt;
  9272.  
  9273.  
  9274.  
  9275. &lt;p&gt;He most likely had forgotten &amp;#8216;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33604258/gene-hackman-betsy-arakawa-911-call-deaths/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;911&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;, the emergency number in the US, too &amp;#8211; and I can&amp;#8217;t help but think what would happen to my dad in the same situation.&lt;/p&gt;
  9276.  
  9277.  
  9278.  
  9279. &lt;p&gt;I can say categorically that Dad wouldn’t be on his own any longer than 12 hours. &lt;/p&gt;
  9280.  
  9281.  
  9282.  
  9283. &lt;p&gt;My brother Michael calls him once a day, he usually checks in on him on his way &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;to work&lt;/a&gt; and I usually call him at the end of my working day. &lt;/p&gt;

  9295.  
  9296.  
  9297.  
  9298. &lt;p&gt;Should the worst happen to Mum, Dad would be alone for a few hours.&lt;/p&gt;
  9299.  
  9300.  
  9301.  
  9302. &lt;p&gt;Growing up, my Dad – maybe like Gene was for his daughters – was the centre of my universe.&lt;/p&gt;
  9303.  
  9304.  
  9305.  
  9306. &lt;p&gt;He taught me to tie my shoes and bake bread. He taught me to say please and thank you and how to ride a bike. &lt;/p&gt;
  9307.  
  9308.  
  9309.  
  9310. &lt;p&gt;He poured everything he had into making me a good version of a human. &lt;/p&gt;
  9311.  
  9312.  
  9313.  
  9314. &lt;p&gt;He wiped my chin when I spilled, taught me to use a knife and fork and cleaned up after me too many times to count.&lt;/p&gt;
  9315.  
  9316.  
  9317.  
  9318. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not that I owe him anything, it’s a sense of duty more than debt I feel towards him. &lt;/p&gt;
  9319.  
  9320.  
  9321.  
  9322. &lt;p&gt;Like it’s an honour to be there as his life gets harder and his days left shorter. &lt;/p&gt;
  9323.  
  9324.  
  9325.  
  9326. &lt;p&gt;I can also guarantee he’s wiped my chin as a baby far more than I’ve had to wipe his as he sometimes spills his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;food&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9327.  
  9328.  
  9329.  
  9330. &lt;p&gt;He loved me into being, the least I can do is love him out of being.&lt;/p&gt;
  9331.  
  9332.  
  9333.  
  9334. &lt;p&gt;Poor Gene. My dad loved him in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33589698/last-pic-gene-hackman-wife-betsy-arakawa-couple-dead/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The French Connection&lt;/a&gt; as Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle. I told him he’d died because he truly was one of his favourite actors. &lt;/p&gt;
  9335.  
  9336.  
  9337.  
  9338. &lt;p&gt;He asked what happened and I couldn’t bear to tell him. &lt;/p&gt;
  9339.  
  9340.  
  9341.  
  9342. &lt;p&gt;I knew it’d make his already confused brain with more confusion and fear that it could happen to him. &lt;/p&gt;
  9343.  
  9344.  
  9345.  
  9346. &lt;p&gt;I told him he went peacefully, and I hope at the very end, he did.&lt;/p&gt;
  9347.

  9369. Gene Hackman&amp;#039;s family has spoken out on the actor&amp;#039;s death after he was found dead with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, in their Santa Fe home. &lt;/p&gt;
  9371. &lt;div&gt;
  9372. &lt;p&gt;Hackman&amp;#8217;s daughters, Elizabeth and Leslie, and his granddaughter, Annie, released the statement.&lt;/p&gt;
  9373. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy,&amp;#8221; Elizabeth, Leslie, and Annie Hackman said.&lt;/p&gt;
  9374. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was loved and admired by millions around the world for his brilliant acting career, but to us he was always just Dad and Grandpa.&lt;/p&gt;
  9375. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We will miss him sorely and are devastated by the loss.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9413.  
  9414.  
  9415.  
  9416.  
  9417. &lt;p&gt;QATAR Racing have shockingly removed their horses from the yard of long-time trainer Andrew Balding.&lt;/p&gt;
  9418.  
  9419.  
  9420.  
  9421. &lt;p&gt;Among the horses to be taken away from the Kingsclere stable is Group 1 winner New Century, who finished fifth in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  9422.  
  9423.  
  9424.  
  9425. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34539407&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/2025/04/e1cbf1cd-69aa-4e29-b4fe-d46fdd870530.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Oisin Murphy riding New Century to win a horse race.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34539407&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;946&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;New Century was one of six Qatar Racing horses removed from Andrew Balding&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  9426.  
  9427.  
  9428.  
  9429. &lt;p&gt;The racing operation of Sheikh Fahad al Thani, Qatar Racing had six horses in training with Balding, who has made a flying start to the new season.&lt;/p&gt;
  9430.  
  9431.  
  9432.  
  9433. &lt;p&gt;The horses were taken out of the yard yesterday and New Century has been moved to Newmarket trainer James Ferguson, though he will soon be shipped to the US where he will continue his career. &lt;/p&gt;
  9434.  
  9435.  
  9436.  
  9437. &lt;p&gt;Balding said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s very sad, we&amp;#8217;ve had a great association over many years and I&amp;#8217;ll always be grateful to Sheikh Fahad and his brothers for the opportunities they gave me. &lt;/p&gt;
  9438.  
  9439.  
  9440.  
  9441. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are just pulling in different directions at the moment so that&amp;#8217;s the reason really. I wish them the best of luck.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9442.  
  9443.  
  9444.  
  9445. &lt;p&gt;Balding has had runners for Qatar Racing since 2011 and he has trained four individual Group 1 winners for them.&lt;/p&gt;
  9446.  
  9447.  
  9448.  
  9449. &lt;p&gt;They include Kameko, who became Qatar&amp;#8217;s first Classic winner when he won the 2,000 Guineas in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  9450.  
  9451.  
  9452.  
  9453. &lt;p&gt;Balding also saddled Elm Park and Side Glance to win at the top-level, while New Century won a Grade 1 in Canada last autumn before finishing fourth at the Breeders&amp;#8217; Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
  9454.  
  9455.  
  9456.  
  9457. &lt;p&gt;The removal of the horses will not effect the partnership between Balding and champion jockey Oisin Murphy, who is the retained rider for Qatar Racing.&lt;/p&gt;

  9537.  
  9538.  
  9539.  
  9540. &lt;p&gt;Based in central &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt; in Gotham City, this hotel is in a great location for exploring.&lt;/p&gt;
  9541.  
  9542.  
  9543.  
  9544. &lt;p&gt;It is housed in a grand listed building in the upmarket shopping area of King Street, only an 8-minute drive from Manchester Piccadilly Station.&lt;/p&gt;
  9545.  
  9546.  
  9547.  
  9548. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the hotel like?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  9549.  
  9550.  
  9551.  
  9552. &lt;p&gt;Hotel Gotham reflects the Art Deco style of the 1920s Gotham City from Batman with dramatic fixtures, lavish decor with geometric patterns and employees in 1920s-themed uniforms.&lt;/p&gt;
  9553.  
  9554.  
  9555.  
  9556. &lt;p&gt;Along with a 24-hour front desk, there are also concierge services and luggage services.&lt;/p&gt;
  9557.  
  9558.  
  9559.  
  9560. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the rooms like?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  9561.  
  9562.  
  9563.  
  9564. &lt;p&gt;The 60 rooms are spread over five floors and split into four categories: Cosy Club, Club, Executive and Director.&lt;/p&gt;
  9565.  
  9566.  
  9567.  
  9568. &lt;p&gt;Each features polished wooden furniture and dark leather headboards. The rooms start from £130 per night. &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.hotelgotham.co.uk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Book here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9569.  
  9570.  
  9571.  
  9572. &lt;p&gt;We were upgraded from an executive room to the Lutyens Suite, which features a copper roll-top bath in the middle of the room.&lt;/p&gt;
  9573.  
  9574.  
  9575.  
  9576. &lt;p&gt;Other suites include the Gotham Suite, Inner Sanctum Suite and Bank Managers Suite, which have been compared to both the Great Gatsby and Grand Budapest Hotel.&lt;/p&gt;
  9577.  
  9578.  
  9579.  
  9580. &lt;p&gt;Need some glam? Call the Ruuby Beauty, a five-star beauty concierge who can come to the room for a full service, at an additional cost.&lt;/p&gt;
  9581.  
  9582.  
  9583.  
  9584. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is there to eat and drink there?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  9585.  
  9586.  
  9587.  
  9588. &lt;p&gt;The food is served with a view from the top floor of the hotel through huge beautiful windows.&lt;/p&gt;

  9612. &lt;p&gt;There is an excellent selection of British fare is offered on the menu at the hotel’s Honey restaurant on the top floor, which is 2 AA Rosette awarded&lt;/p&gt;
  9613.  
  9614.  
  9615.  
  9616. &lt;p&gt;But most notably is the large offering of steaks cooked to perfection that I can vouch for considering my 10oz ribeye was incredible.&lt;/p&gt;
  9617.  
  9618.  
  9619.  
  9620. &lt;p&gt;Otherwise head to Club Brass, a VIP lounge only open to members and guests which is a Prohibition-style speakeasy.&lt;/p&gt;
  9621.

  9629.  
  9630.  
  9631.  
  9632. &lt;p&gt;Immerse yourself in the 1920/30s speakeasy bars and jazz experience in the underground exclusive space called GILT.&lt;/p&gt;
  9633.  
  9634.  
  9635.  
  9636. &lt;p&gt;Or treat yourself to the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.hotelgotham.co.uk/whats-on/summer-indulgence/78-26/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Summer Indulgence package&lt;/a&gt; (from £49) offering a 5-course tasting menu and a complimentary glass of prosecco.&lt;/p&gt;
  9637.  
  9638.  
  9639.  
  9640. &lt;p&gt;Just don&amp;#8217;t expect an on-site gym &amp;#8211; you&amp;#8217;re here for some luxury after all.&lt;/p&gt;
  9641.  
  9642.  
  9643.  
  9644. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is the hotel family-friendly?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  9645.  
  9646.  
  9647.  
  9648. &lt;p&gt;No, the minimum age to check into the hotel is 18, although children are permitted inside under supervision.&lt;/p&gt;
  9649.  
  9650.  
  9651.

  9691. &lt;p&gt;FOOD lovers have been raving about Iceland’s hash browns which are the size of a dinner plate.&lt;/p&gt;
  9692.  
  9693.  
  9694.  
  9695. &lt;p&gt;The £2.50 pack, which includes two giant &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/20888956/i-tested-supermarket-hash-browns/&quot;&gt;hash browns&lt;/a&gt;, has been hailed as the perfect &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34452755/aldi-savoury-easter-bao-bun/&quot;&gt;Easter&lt;/a&gt; fry-up treat.&lt;/p&gt;

  9707. &lt;p&gt;Shopper Teg, who posts under &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@tegtries/photo/7477201439702404374&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;@tegtries&lt;/a&gt;, uploaded the mouth-watering brunch they had made with the hash browns.&lt;/p&gt;
  9708.  
  9709.  
  9710.  
  9711. &lt;p&gt;Using one as their base, they then added avocado, chipolata sausages, a fried egg and beans for their breakfast.&lt;/p&gt;
  9712.  
  9713.  
  9714.  
  9715. &lt;p&gt;They wrote: “The best hash brown brunch you have ever seen.&lt;/p&gt;
  9716.  
  9717.  
  9718.  
  9719. &lt;p&gt;“A breakfast of champions.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9720.  
  9721.  
  9722.  
  9723. &lt;p&gt;To cook the hash browns, simply add them to a pre-heated oven at 190C or an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/air-fryer/&quot;&gt;air fryer&lt;/a&gt; at 200C for 18 minutes or you can pan-fry them for 10-12 minutes if you can’t wait that long.&lt;/p&gt;
  9724.  
  9725.  
  9726.  
  9727. &lt;p&gt;Many people on the &lt;span id=&quot;e1403fa0-4906-43fa-b96e-800c06111f13&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Iceland&lt;/span&gt; website have left them a five-star &lt;span id=&quot;1a2dc0b0-b420-4b53-b3e0-9c2efccc55da&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;review&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9728.  
  9729.  
  9730.  
  9731. &lt;p&gt;One shopper wrote: “Kids love them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9732.  
  9733.  
  9734.  
  9735. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “What’s not to like. They’re are scrumptious and finally a hash brown without onion.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9736.  
  9737.  
  9738.  
  9739. &lt;p&gt;And a third raved: “Perfect as Pizza base and also as a base for a crustless quiche. Delicious too.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9740.  
  9741.  
  9742.  
  9743. &lt;p&gt;And people were also quick to share their thoughts on Teg’s video.&lt;/p&gt;

  9792.  
  9793.  
  9794.  
  9795. &lt;p&gt;The huge supermarket chain is currently selling the cheapest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nestle/&quot;&gt;Nestle&lt;/a&gt; eggs in this size, beating the likes of budget stores &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lidl/&quot;&gt;Lidl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9807. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  9810. &lt;div&gt;
  9811. &lt;p&gt;A legal mandate in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland dictates that all store locations over 280 square metres are required to close on Easter Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
  9812. &lt;p&gt;The Sunday Trading Act 1994 restricts the opening hours of larger stores on Sundays.&lt;/p&gt;
  9813. &lt;p&gt;Smaller shops, under 280 square metres, are not subject to this law but many still choose to close to give their staff a break.&lt;/p&gt;
  9814. &lt;p&gt;These rules also apply to locations on Christmas Day.&lt;/p&gt;
  9815. &lt;p&gt;Scotland does not have specific restrictions on operating hours for these days.&lt;/p&gt;

  9899. &lt;p&gt;First things first, Chloe stressed why checking accounts is so important, as she advised: “The first thing that you shouldn&amp;#8217;t be doing on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34405629/venezuela-fury-vinted-side-hustle-gucci-dior-harrods/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Vinted&lt;/a&gt; is not checking accounts.&lt;/p&gt;
  9900.  
  9901.  
  9902.  
  9903. &lt;p&gt;“I call this ‘account vetting’ and if I&amp;#8217;m buying or selling to somebody, I will go to their account and check their reviews, check their bio, check everything that there is to do with their account.&lt;/p&gt;
  9904.  
  9905.  
  9906.

  9976. QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... &lt;/p&gt;
  9978. &lt;div&gt;
  9979. &lt;ul&gt;
  9980. &lt;li&gt;The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.&lt;/li&gt;
  9981. &lt;li&gt;Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.&lt;/li&gt;
  9982. &lt;li&gt;More information here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://vinted.co.uk/no-changes-to-taxes__;!!F0Stn7g!GQ3J1JVKqSRLA8i5N9W0Kb6z6Lj3kf55PrsJc9ab_oPMKvoWElEOPL4GJMkt5oZGMfaxyEcHWgkWIAuW_GJMnO0bcwPz$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;vinted.co.uk/no-changes-to-taxes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  9988.  
  9989.  
  9990.  
  9991. &lt;p&gt;“I buy and sell on Vinted and if something is delivered to the parcel shop, I try and pick it up straight away, because I know how frustrating it is when you are a seller and you&amp;#8217;re waiting for somebody to pick up their parcel and they just don&amp;#8217;t.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9992.  
  9993.  
  9994.  
  9995. &lt;p&gt;Chloe suggested that if you are going on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;holiday&lt;/a&gt; or you&amp;#8217;ve got other commitments and aren&amp;#8217;t able to collect a parcel, make sure to get it delivered to your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;house&lt;/a&gt; instead. &lt;/p&gt;

  10003. &lt;p&gt;Not only this, but Chloe acknowledged why you must never spray items with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/33769169/aldi-new-le-labo-perfume-dupe-cheaper-amazing-quality/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;perfume&lt;/a&gt; before posting them.&lt;/p&gt;
  10004.

  10007. &lt;p&gt;She warned: “The fourth thing that you shouldn&amp;#8217;t be doing &amp;#8211; this one is for sellers &amp;#8211; is spraying your items with perfume.&lt;/p&gt;

  10025.  
  10026.  
  10027.  
  10028. &lt;p&gt;“It&amp;#8217;s also a waste of your own perfume as well, don&amp;#8217;t waste your nice perfume on your Vinted items, just leave it, honestly.&lt;/p&gt;

  10047.  
  10048. &lt;p&gt;Chloe voiced that doing so makes sales &amp;#8220;a little bit more personal&amp;#8221; and enables users to identify whether you are a real person or a scam account.&lt;/p&gt;

  10058. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10059. Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted: &lt;/p&gt;
  10061. &lt;div&gt;
  10062. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted. &lt;/p&gt;
  10063. &lt;p&gt;There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many. &lt;/p&gt;
  10064. &lt;p&gt;And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag.&lt;/p&gt;
  10065. &lt;p&gt;From personal experience, I&amp;#8217;ve bought &amp;#8216;cheap&amp;#8217; bundles of children&amp;#8217;s clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen. &lt;/p&gt;
  10066. &lt;p&gt;Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn&amp;#8217;t feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids&amp;#8217; stuff.&lt;/p&gt;
  10067. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve also bought more premium high-street items &amp;#8211; a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos &amp;#8211; only to find they didn&amp;#8217;t fit properly and the colours were faded. &lt;/p&gt;
  10068. &lt;p&gt;I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.&lt;/p&gt;
  10069. &lt;p&gt;A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I&amp;#8217;m not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn&amp;#8217;t want to miss out. &lt;/p&gt;
  10070. &lt;p&gt;Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items &amp;#8211; a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 &amp;#8211; makes me feel a bit queasy. &lt;/p&gt;
  10071. &lt;p&gt;Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that&amp;#8217;s done once or twice a year as a necessity. &lt;/p&gt;
  10072. &lt;p&gt;But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.&lt;/p&gt;
  10073. &lt;/div&gt;
  10074. &lt;/div&gt;
  10075. &lt;/div&gt;
  10077.  
  10078.  
  10079.  
  10080. &lt;p&gt;She claimed: “Loads of scam accounts just leave their bio blank, they don&amp;#8217;t put in a picture, but if you look like a genuine person and you want to buy and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/29734143/how-to-make-sales-money-vinted-relisting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sell on Vinted&lt;/a&gt;, put something in your bio, it&amp;#8217;s there for a reason. &lt;/p&gt;
  10081.  
  10082.  
  10083.  
  10084. &lt;p&gt;“If you&amp;#8217;re a seller, put what days you ship, what sort of items you have, whether you&amp;#8217;re open to offers.&lt;/p&gt;
  10085.  
  10086.  
  10087.  
  10088. &lt;p&gt;“It doesn&amp;#8217;t even have to be a picture of you, it can be of your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dogs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;dog&lt;/a&gt;, of a plant, of a nice view, just make it so that it actually looks like a real account.”&lt;/p&gt;

  10105. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; clip, which was posted under the username @&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@chloe_chandlerx/video/7487363059288378647&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;chloe_chandlerx&lt;/a&gt;, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 64,800 views and 1,887 likes. &lt;/p&gt;

  10173. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jakub-kiwior/&quot;&gt;Jakub Kiwior&lt;/a&gt; stepped in for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gabriel-magalhaes/&quot;&gt;Gabriel Magalhaes&lt;/a&gt; and put up another stellar performance as the Brazilian&amp;#8217;s deputy.&lt;/p&gt;
  10174.  
  10175.  
  10176.  
  10177. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this week&amp;#8217;s edition of&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Arsenal Files, Jordan Davies dives into the dilemma that leaves &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mikel-arteta/&quot;&gt;Mikel Arteta&lt;/a&gt; with, as well as giving an update on the North London club&amp;#8217;s pursuit of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/nico-williams/&quot;&gt;Nico Williams&lt;/a&gt; and much, much  more.&lt;/p&gt;
  10178.  
  10179.  
  10180.  
  10181. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;JAK TO THE FUTURE?&lt;/h2&gt;
  10182.  
  10183.  
  10184.  
  10185. &lt;p&gt;It is not unusual for injuries to provide the perfect platform for Arsenal players to change their fortunes under &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mikel-arteta/&quot;&gt;Mikel Arteta&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10186.  
  10187.  
  10188.  
  10189. &lt;p&gt;Bought in the summer for around £32m, Mikel Merino was viewed as a valuable squad player and midfield back-up to the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/declan-rice/&quot;&gt;Declan Rice&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/thomas-partey/&quot;&gt;Thomas Partey&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10190.  
  10191.  
  10192.  
  10193. &lt;p&gt;But with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kai-havertz/&quot;&gt;Kai Havertz&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gabriel-jesus/&quot;&gt;Gabriel Jesus&lt;/a&gt; crocked for the season, the Spaniard has transformed himself into a goalscoring No9 – with six goals in 12 appearances in that position. You cannot picture this Arsenal team without him right now.&lt;/p&gt;
  10194.  
  10195.  
  10196.  
  10197. &lt;p&gt;For &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/myles-lewis-skelly/&quot;&gt;Myles Lewis-Skelly&lt;/a&gt;, this was meant to be an “easing in” year in the world of senior football, the academy graduate only making his first team debut back in September.&lt;/p&gt;
  10198.  
  10199.  
  10200.  
  10201. &lt;p&gt;But with another summer arrival in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/riccardo-calafiori/&quot;&gt;Riccardo Calafiori&lt;/a&gt; struggling for fitness, the full-back has seized the moment for club and country – a nailed-on starter with 31 appearances in all competitions so far this term.&lt;/p&gt;
  10202.  
  10203.  
  10204.  
  10205. &lt;p&gt;But the most surprising of the lot has been Jakub Kiwior – the Polish centre back stepping in for another long-term absentee in Gabriel during one of the Gunners’ most important weeks of their season, and arguably of boss Arteta’s reign.&lt;/p&gt;
  10206.  
  10207.  
  10208.  
  10209. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-player-stats-6acfb9a4-913b-4a83-b456-428a2bcfc93f.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-player-stats-6acfb9a4-913b-4a83-b456-428a2bcfc93f.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Jakub Kiwior's Arsenal vs Real Madrid player stats: 34 touches, 25 passes, 1 tackle, 3 duels won, 0 fouls conceded, 90 mins played.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34538890&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

  10214.  
  10215.  
  10216.  
  10217. &lt;p&gt;Kiwior has started Arsenal’s last four games in all competitions – his longest run of the campaign and the longest since an eight-game spell from February 11 to March 31 of 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  10218.  
  10219.  
  10220.  
  10221. &lt;p&gt;Two draws and two wins, but the latter have been startlingly impressive, earning a clean sheet in their 3-0 quarter final first leg victory over Real Madrid in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/champions-league/&quot;&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt; before backing that up once more in the 2-1 second leg win in the Bernabeu this week.&lt;/p&gt;

  10244.  
  10245. &lt;p&gt;His critics since arriving at the Emirates in January 2023 for around £20m from Spezia would rightfully point out his flaws – often a nervousness on the ball and a tendency to make rash decisions and costly errors, as well as his positioning in one-on-ones.&lt;/p&gt;
  10246.  
  10247.  
  10248.  
  10249. &lt;p&gt;Most notably in last season’s Champions League quarter final, operating as a left-back in the 2-2 first leg draw, where he was skinned by Bayern Munich’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/leroy-sane/&quot;&gt;Leroy Sane&lt;/a&gt; that led to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/harry-kane/&quot;&gt;Harry Kane&lt;/a&gt; converting a penalty.&lt;/p&gt;
  10250.  
  10251.  
  10252.  
  10253. &lt;p&gt;As a result, he has been linked with moves away. &lt;/p&gt;
  10254.  
  10255.  
  10256.  
  10257. &lt;p&gt;AC Milan and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1395978/napoli/&quot;&gt;Napoli&lt;/a&gt; have taken an interest with Kiwior said to be keen on a return to Italy for regular first-team action as he looks to keep his starting spot for Poland. &lt;/p&gt;
  10258.  
  10259.  
  10260.  
  10261. &lt;p&gt;Arteta seemingly saw him as one to let go to raise transfer funds.&lt;/p&gt;
  10262.  
  10263.  
  10264.  
  10265. &lt;p&gt;But his performances against Madrid may leave Arteta with a dilemma. &lt;/p&gt;
  10266.  
  10267.  
  10268.  
  10269. &lt;p&gt;His calmness of approach to keep the likes of Vinicius Jr and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kylian-mbappe/&quot;&gt;Kylian Mbappe&lt;/a&gt; quiet was just as eye-catching as Declan Rice’s thunderbolt free-kicks and Bukayo Saka’s return from injury.&lt;/p&gt;
  10270.  
  10271.  
  10272.  
  10273. &lt;p&gt;Kiwior is known as one of the quieter members of the Arsenal dressing room, with club sources struggling to get more than a few words out of him at times – hardly a character and a personality that Arteta requires and demands.&lt;/p&gt;
  10274.  
  10275.  
  10276.  
  10277. &lt;p&gt;And yet, would letting him go be a mistake? Someone in the squad who can provide good competition for Gabriel and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/william-saliba/&quot;&gt;William Saliba&lt;/a&gt; is a valuable asset.&lt;/p&gt;
  10278.  
  10279.  
  10280.  
  10281. &lt;p&gt;Arteta may still deem the 25-year-old surplus to requirements, in which case they could make a decent profit on a player who has certainly raised his game in recent weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  10282.  
  10283.  
  10284.  
  10285. &lt;p&gt;But should Kiwior carry on his fine form in the semi-finals against PSG – and even go on to start in a back four that wins the Champions League – letting him go could prove to be tougher than first thought.&lt;/p&gt;
  10286.  
  10287.  
  10288.  
  10289. &lt;p&gt;It will certainly test the ruthlessness of Arteta’s ambitions to strengthen an already-strong squad.&lt;/p&gt;
  10290.  
  10291.  
  10292.  
  10293. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34539216&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 763px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-arsenals-jakub-kiwior-william-985779143.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=753&quot; alt=&quot;Arsenal's Jakub Kiwior and William Saliba celebrating.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34539216&quot; width=&quot;753&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Kiwior has formed an impressive relationship with William Saliba[/caption]
  10294.  
  10295.  
  10296.  
  10297. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;MIK’S BERNABEU SURPRISE&lt;/h2&gt;
  10298.  
  10299.  
  10300.  
  10301. &lt;p&gt;Just like his mentor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot;&gt;Pep Guardiola&lt;/a&gt;, it is often the case that Arteta likes to be in control of a 90-minute performance, preparing for any context, regardless of whether that ties in to the ‘beautiful game’ or not.&lt;/p&gt;
  10302.  
  10303.  
  10304.  
  10305. &lt;p&gt;The Spaniard is not afraid to sit deep and defend and frustrate, nor is he scared of going all guns-blazing and attacking from minute one. To adapt is to survive, and win.&lt;/p&gt;
  10306.  
  10307.  
  10308.  
  10309. &lt;p&gt;So it was a huge surprise to hear Arteta speak after the second leg triumph at the Bernabeu with alarming honesty at how helpless he felt on the touchline this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  10310.  
  10311.  
  10312.  
  10313. &lt;p&gt;He explained: “It was my first time as a coach in that dugout and I realised after three minutes that in this stadium, anything is possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  10314.  
  10315.  
  10316.  
  10317. &lt;p&gt;“I mean, they are specialists in creating such chaos, such a belief, and it&amp;#8217;s very difficult to understand really what&amp;#8217;s going on in the game and have certainty about how we control it.&lt;/p&gt;
  10318.  
  10319.  
  10320.  
  10321. &lt;p&gt;“I&amp;#8217;m here to experience these kinds of games and to go through them. I know that sometimes you&amp;#8217;re going to win, sometimes you&amp;#8217;re going to lose.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10322.  
  10323.  
  10324.  
  10325. &lt;p&gt;This points to a real maturing and progressive moment in Arteta’s managerial career, forced to sit back and trust his players will make the right decisions, knowing he can have little impact through his ants-in-his-pants behaviour on the sidelines.&lt;/p&gt;
  10326.  
  10327.  
  10328.  
  10329. &lt;p&gt;If he is to lift the Champions League on May 31 in Munich, he will need much more of that.&lt;/p&gt;
  10330.  
  10331.  
  10332.  
  10333. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34538985&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/2025/04/mikel-arteta-manager-arsenal-looks-987766867.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager, at a soccer match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34538985&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;Mikel Arteta didn&amp;#8217;t have his usual control from the Bernabeu dugout[/caption]
  10334.  
  10335.  
  10336.  
  10337. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;NICO OF TIME&lt;/h2&gt;
  10338.  
  10339.  
  10340.  
  10341. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal summer target Nico Williams proved once again why he is wanted by most of Europe with another goalscoring showing in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europa-league/&quot;&gt;Europa League&lt;/a&gt; this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  10342.  
  10343.  
  10344.  
  10345. &lt;p&gt;In fact, his 80th minute header to make it 2-0 to Athletic Bilbao against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1332448/rangers/&quot;&gt;Rangers&lt;/a&gt; and send them to the semi-finals was a &lt;strong&gt;VERY &lt;/strong&gt;Arteta-style goal from the wing.&lt;/p&gt;
  10346.  
  10347.  
  10348.  
  10349. &lt;p&gt;Coming inside, nipping in front of his defender and heading in at the far post from a looped cross – how many times have we seen the likes of Saka, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gabriel-martinelli/&quot;&gt;Gabriel Martinelli&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/leandro-trossard/&quot;&gt;Leandro Trossard&lt;/a&gt; do that in an Arsenal shirt?&lt;/p&gt;
  10350.  
  10351.  
  10352.  
  10353. &lt;p&gt;That was Williams’ fifth goal in Europe, making it 11 goals in 42 games in all competitions – the best return of his career.&lt;/p&gt;
  10354.  
  10355.  
  10356.  
  10357. &lt;p&gt;Despite being happy at his boyhood Bilbao, the 22-year-old expects to leave with the use of his £50m release clause this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  10358.  
  10359.  
  10360.  
  10361. &lt;p&gt;While he also feels he has done his duty by putting the club in pole position to qualify for the Champions League next term, currently in fourth with seven games remaining and with a chance of winning the Europa League.&lt;/p&gt;
  10362.  
  10363.  
  10364.  
  10365. &lt;p&gt;The fee alone would be ‘cheap’, but Spanish sources have told SunSport he could demand an eye-watering wage of around £250k-a-week. &lt;/p&gt;
  10366.  
  10367.  
  10368.  
  10369. &lt;p&gt;An incredible amount for someone so young and untested in England.&lt;/p&gt;
  10370.  
  10371.  
  10372.  
  10373. &lt;p&gt;That would put the Spaniard up there with Arsenal’s highest earners, and seriously test the willingness of Arsenal as they plan a “big” summer spending spree and aim to bring an elite No9 through the door.&lt;/p&gt;
  10374.  
  10375.  
  10376.  
  10377. &lt;p&gt;And remember, their financial report of 2023/24 showed that they have already increased their wage payments by nearly £100m from £234.8m to £327.8m.&lt;/p&gt;
  10378.  
  10379.  
  10380.  
  10381. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34538872&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/2025/04/athletic-clubs-nico-williams-celebrates-988040822.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Nico Williams of Athletic Club celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34538872&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;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Nico Williams could demand mega wages to move to Arsenal[/caption]
  10382.  
  10383.  
  10384.  
  10385. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;A WELL-EARNED REST&lt;/h2&gt;
  10386.  
  10387.  
  10388.  
  10389. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal will have a six-day break before their Champions League semi-final first leg against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1250213/paris-saint-germain/&quot;&gt;Paris Saint-Germain&lt;/a&gt; – thanks to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196666/crystal-palace/&quot;&gt;Crystal Palace&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10390.  
  10391.  
  10392.  
  10393. &lt;p&gt;The Eagles were due to face Arsenal next Saturday on April 26, but the south east Londoners instead have an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fa-cup/&quot;&gt;FA Cup&lt;/a&gt; semi-final against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196670/aston-villa/&quot;&gt;Aston Villa&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10394.  
  10395.  
  10396.  
  10397. &lt;p&gt;Instead, Arsenal will welcome Palace to the Emirates on Wednesday April 23 before hosting PSG on Tuesday April 29.&lt;/p&gt;
  10398.  
  10399.  
  10400.  
  10401. &lt;p&gt;An extra few days of rest and recovery at London Colney will be a blessing for Arteta, and may just give Arsenal the edge.&lt;/p&gt;
  10402.  
  10403.  
  10404.  
  10405. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile PSG have to play two &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ligue-1/&quot;&gt;Ligue 1&lt;/a&gt; games in just &lt;strong&gt;THREE &lt;/strong&gt;days, against Nantes on Tuesday April 22 and then OGC Nice on Friday April 25.&lt;/p&gt;
  10406.  
  10407.  
  10408.  
  10409. &lt;p&gt;On the flipside, Luis Enrique’s men have already won the French title, and will likely rest all of their big hitters before travelling to North London.&lt;/p&gt;
  10410.

  10457.  
  10458. &lt;p&gt;A LAMBORGHINI driver was pulled over for breaking two road rules in their £230,000 car.&lt;/p&gt;
  10459.

  10471.  
  10472.  
  10473.  
  10474. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/west-midlands/&quot;&gt;West Midlands&lt;/a&gt; Police (WMP) revealed that they pulled over the lime green Lamborghini Huracan for two major reasons. &lt;/p&gt;
  10475.  
  10476.  
  10477.  
  10478. &lt;p&gt;The first was that they noticed the luxury car, which is worth £230,000 according to Auto Trader, did not possess a front registration plate. &lt;/p&gt;
  10479.  
  10480.  
  10481.  
  10482. &lt;p&gt;They also noticed that the car did not hold a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/26895935/avoid-likely-mot-failure-with-single-simple-check/&quot;&gt;valid MOT&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10483.  
  10484.  
  10485.  
  10486. &lt;p&gt;Under UK law, all cars must have a front number plate and failure to do so can result in a hefty £1000 fine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10487.  
  10488.  
  10489.  
  10490. &lt;p&gt;Not having a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/7350103/how-to-make-sure-your-car-passes-its-mot-these-are-the-things-to-look-out-for/&quot;&gt;valid MOT&lt;/a&gt; can also result in a £1000 meaning this unlucky driver got slapped with a £2000 fine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10491.  
  10492.  
  10493.  
  10494. &lt;p&gt;WMP Traffic took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/23261007/why-has-the-twitter-logo-changed-to-an-x/&quot;&gt;X (formerly Twitter)&lt;/a&gt; to reveal that the incident took place, posting: &amp;#8220;D-Unit #ANPRInterceptors sighted this #Lamborghini on the M42 without a front registration plate.&lt;/p&gt;
  10495.  
  10496.  
  10497.  
  10498. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Upon further inspection the vehicle did not hold a valid MOT.&lt;/p&gt;
  10499.  
  10500.  
  10501.  
  10502. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Driver reported.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10503.  
  10504.  
  10505.  
  10506. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/33603698/carmaker-brink-collapse-production/&quot;&gt;Car manufacturers&lt;/a&gt; and dealers have often warned Brits about the more niche driving laws that we have in the UK.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10507.  
  10508.  
  10509.  
  10510. &lt;p&gt;One family in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/essex/&quot;&gt;Essex&lt;/a&gt; discovered that their £22,000 vehicle had been repossessed suddenly as they had not paid a penalty charge notice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10511.  
  10512.  
  10513.  
  10514. &lt;p&gt;Since the family were out of the country, they were unaware of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34178190/fined-driving-mistake-council-punishment-took-car/&quot;&gt;notice which steadily doubled&lt;/a&gt; before their car was eventually taken. &lt;/p&gt;

  10535.  
  10536.  
  10537.  
  10538. &lt;p&gt;After the incident, motor experts urged drivers to be vigilant about following road laws and to ask neighbours to keep them up to date with any PCNs being slapped on their cars.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10539.  
  10540.  
  10541.  
  10542. &lt;p&gt;Costs for drivers have been rising too, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34138893/idris-elba-labour-sadiq-khan-london-mayor/&quot;&gt;Mayor of London Sadiq Khan&lt;/a&gt; raising fines by £30.&lt;/p&gt;
  10543.  
  10544.  
  10545.  
  10546. &lt;p&gt;The Mayor said that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/33531791/london-parking-fine-rules-change-sadiq-khan/&quot;&gt;hike in fines&lt;/a&gt; was intended to stop “anti-social and obstructive parking” which regularly plagues residential areas in London.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10547.  
  10548.  
  10549.  
  10550. &lt;p&gt;The money generated by the increase in fines will also be funnelled into road law enforcement costs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10551.  
  10552.  
  10553.  
  10554. &lt;p&gt;Mayor Khan also introduced the Ultra Low Emission Zone which expanded to cover all London boroughs in 2023.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10555.  
  10556.  
  10557.  
  10558. &lt;p&gt;The scheme requires all &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/23336569/ulez-breaking-car-worth-thousands-extra-cash/&quot;&gt;vehicles that fail to comply&lt;/a&gt; with emission targets to pay a £12.50 charge every day.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10559.  
  10560.  
  10561.  
  10562. &lt;p&gt;Despite controversy around the choice, the ULEZ has led to a dramatic reduction in harmful air pollutants and has had direct health benefits for many Londoners including improved respiratory health. &lt;/p&gt;
  10563.  
  10564.  
  10565.  
  10566. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  10574. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10575. Every UK car must have two clearly visible number plates. &lt;/p&gt;
  10577. &lt;div&gt;
  10578. &lt;p&gt;This means that there must be one on the front and one on the back of your vehicle. &lt;/p&gt;
  10579. &lt;p&gt;Failure to keep these plates clean, which can render them illegible, is also an offence. &lt;/p&gt;
  10580. &lt;p&gt;Charges can be up to £1000 and several charges can be given at one time, if more than one law is broken.&lt;/p&gt;
  10581. &lt;p&gt;They must also be written in the Charles Wright 2001 font and must be made of a reflective surface. &lt;/p&gt;
  10582. &lt;p&gt;The front plate must be white and the back plate must be yellow, with both having writing in black. &lt;/p&gt;
  10583. &lt;p&gt;Failure to have a marking indicating your number plate supplier is also an offence. &lt;/p&gt;
  10584. &lt;/div&gt;
  10585. &lt;/div&gt;

  10656.  
  10657.  
  10658.  
  10659. &lt;p&gt;The new teamwear is a world first that will see Luton&amp;#8217;s kits made of recycled materials designed to be mechanically recycled at the end of their lifespan to avoid products going into landfill.&lt;/p&gt;

  10663. &lt;p&gt;It is estimated that the sportswear industry is a big part of the one million tonnes of discarded textiles the UK produces every year, with about a third ending up in landfill or incineration.&lt;/p&gt;
  10664.  
  10665.  
  10666.  
  10667. &lt;p&gt;The deal was announced the day before the Hatters&amp;#8217; crunch relegation clash with Derby on Good Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
  10668.  
  10669.  
  10670.  
  10671. &lt;p&gt;A club statement said: &amp;#8220;We pride ourselves on doing the right thing for you, our fans – and the environment in which you live and support us.&lt;/p&gt;
  10672.  
  10673.  
  10674.  
  10675. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That is why we are delighted to introduce Reflo as our new official teamwear partner, heralding the start of a new era in our history as we look ahead to our final seasons at Kenilworth Road and our future at Power Court.&lt;/p&gt;

  10684.  
  10685.  
  10686.  
  10687. &lt;p&gt;Club CEO Gary Sweet said: “Luton Town is built on passion, resilience and an incredible fanbase that deserves a kit as bold as the club itself.&lt;/p&gt;

  10780.

  10788.  
  10789.  
  10790.  
  10791. &lt;p&gt;To get it, you&amp;#8217;ll need to buy any&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;grande-sized iced beverage&lt;/a&gt; (excluding Frappuccinos), and you&amp;#8217;ll be served the drink in the cup.&lt;/p&gt;
  10792.  
  10793.  
  10794.  
  10795. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll need to swipe your points card or app at the till, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  10796.  
  10797.  
  10798.  
  10799. &lt;p&gt;For reference, a grande-sized cold coffee brew costs £4.80, but this price may differ depending on where you live.&lt;/p&gt;
  10800.  
  10801.

  10803. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/deals-sales/&quot;&gt;deal&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;will work at its 1,354 stores and drive-thrus, as well as through click-and-collect.&lt;/p&gt;
  10804.  
  10805.  
  10806.  
  10807. &lt;p&gt;The free reusable cup will also give you discounts every time you take it to your local Starbucks.&lt;/p&gt;
  10808.  
  10809.  
  10810.  
  10811. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll receive a 25p discount every time you use your reusable cup in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/future/&quot;&gt;future&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10812.  
  10813.  
  10814.  
  10815. &lt;p&gt;This cup is a limited edition cup, so we can&amp;#8217;t find an exact price match.&lt;/p&gt;
  10816.  
  10817.  
  10818.  
  10819. &lt;p&gt;However, the cheapest reusable cup offered by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/starbucks/&quot;&gt;Starbucks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on the app at the moment costs £7, sized 24oz.&lt;/p&gt;
  10820.  
  10821.  
  10822.  
  10823. &lt;p&gt;You can find your nearest Starbucks branch by visiting starbucks.co.uk/store-locator.&lt;/p&gt;
  10824.  
  10825.

  10833. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10834. TO sign up to Starbucks Rewards you&amp;#039;ll need to first download the Starbucks UK app. &lt;/p&gt;
  10836. &lt;div&gt;
  10837. &lt;p&gt;The app is free, and you can find it on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/android/&quot;&gt;Google&amp;nbsp;Play&lt;/a&gt; or the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/apple/&quot;&gt;App Store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10838. &lt;p&gt;Then you need to set up an account &amp;#8211; it&amp;#8217;ll only ask for a few speedy details.&lt;/p&gt;
  10839. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll be given a unique barcode on the app, and you can opt for a physical card to scan and use at the checkout.&lt;/p&gt;
  10840. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s also an option on your app to click and collect if your local store offers the service.&lt;/p&gt;
  10841. &lt;p&gt;The scheme also offers Stars which earn you free drinks however you pay.&lt;/p&gt;
  10842. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll get tens stars for every £1 you spend and once you hit 130, you can grab a drink for free.&lt;/p&gt;
  10843. &lt;p&gt;At 250 Stars you reach a gold level.&lt;/p&gt;
  10844. &lt;p&gt;That means you&amp;#8217;ll access extra shots of espresso, selected syrups and whipped cream all free of charge.&lt;/p&gt;
  10845. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;ve reached gold level, you can also get a free drink on your birthday and early alerts about new drinks.&lt;/p&gt;
  10846. &lt;/div&gt;
  10847. &lt;/div&gt;

  10877. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/starbucks/&quot;&gt;Starbucks&lt;/a&gt; made a big change to its rewards scheme back in January.&lt;/p&gt;
  10878.  
  10879.  
  10880.  
  10881. &lt;p&gt;The updated programme promised that customers would be able to earn free drinks more quickly, but they would need to spend more to qualify for other perks.&lt;/p&gt;
  10882.  
  10883.  
  10884.  
  10885. &lt;p&gt;Additionally, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/deals-sales/&quot;&gt;freebies&lt;/a&gt; became easier to obtain, achieving &amp;#8220;gold&amp;#8221; membership status became more challenging.&lt;/p&gt;
  10886.  
  10887.  
  10888.  
  10889. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/pollingwidgets/v3/widget.js?question_id=112764&amp;#038;game=polling&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  10890.  
  10891.  
  10892.  
  10893. &lt;p&gt;When announcing the changes, Starbucks said: &amp;#8220;We will be switching up your Stars from 3 per £1 to 10 per £1!&lt;/p&gt;
  10894.  
  10895.  
  10896.  
  10897. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re updating the Starbucks Rewards program in the new year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10898.  
  10899.  
  10900.  
  10901. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Introducing new products and tiers for Star redemption and refining Gold Level status, including amending the Gold Level threshold to 2500 Stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  10902.  
  10903.  
  10904.  
  10905. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Meanwhile, your Star value, credit, any free drinks and Reward status remain the same throughout the update.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10906.  
  10907.  
  10908.  
  10909. &lt;p&gt;The company also reassured customers that Stars would still be redeemable for up to two years and could now be used across a wider range of items.&lt;/p&gt;
  10910.  
  10911.  
  10912.  
  10913. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  10914. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  10915. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Five things you didn&amp;#039;t know about Starbucks&lt;/h3&gt;
  10916. &lt;/div&gt;
  10917. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10920. &lt;div&gt;
  10921. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The name was inspired by a book &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10922. &lt;p&gt;Co-founders Gordon Bowker, Jerry Baldwin, and Zev Siegl opened the first Starbucks in Seattle on March 30, 1971. The name was inspired by author Herman Melville’s famous novel,&amp;nbsp;Moby-Dick&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Starbuck was the name of the first mate on the ship, the Pequod. &lt;/p&gt;
  10923. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It has its own coffee farm &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10924. &lt;p&gt;Purchased in 2013, Hacienda Alsacia is a 240-hectare coffee farm located in Costa Rica. Customers can&amp;#8217;t visit, but they can take a virtual tour. &lt;/p&gt;
  10925. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Different apron colours &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10926. &lt;p&gt;Did you ever notice some of the Starbucks staff wearing different colour aprons? Green, Black, Red and there&amp;#8217;s also a few special editions. &lt;/p&gt;
  10927. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before there were Sharpie pens &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10928. &lt;p&gt;Starbucks is known for writing your name on your drink cup, but before this idea came to fruition, the position of a cup on the bar would tell the barista how to make the beverage. Upside down for decaf! &lt;/p&gt;
  10929. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Millions of fans, millions of drinks &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10930. &lt;p&gt;US Starbucks stores will sell around&amp;nbsp;5 million&amp;nbsp;drinks daily in 2024, and the top-selling of which is currently Caramel Macchiato. &lt;/p&gt;
  10931. &lt;/div&gt;
  10932. &lt;/div&gt;

  10976. &lt;p&gt;THE Apprentice runner-up Anisa Khan has revealed a huge secret rule that show bosses allowed her to break during her time on the show.&lt;/p&gt;

  10993.  
  10994.  
  10995.  
  10996. &lt;p&gt;Dean and Anisa both made passionate final plea&amp;#8217;s to the &lt;span id=&quot;aa7b4ea1-5997-406a-867b-ae28aa561c7d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;business&lt;/span&gt; titan &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34521863/the-apprentice-winner-dean-franklin-lord-sugar/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;but the air conditioning salesman managed to have one up on Anisa.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10997.  
  10998.  
  10999.  
  11000. &lt;p&gt;Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Anisa has now opened up on life during the filming of the show last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  11001.  
  11002.  
  11003.  
  11004. &lt;p&gt;She admitted show bosses bent a huge rule for her during off-camera moments inside the shared house of all the candidates.&lt;/p&gt;
  11005.  
  11006.  
  11007.  
  11008. &lt;p&gt;Contestants are cut off from the outside world during the filming process and are famously not allowed access to music during recording.&lt;/p&gt;
  11009.  
  11010.  
  11011.  
  11012. &lt;p&gt;However, Anisa has admitted show bosses allowed her to listen to her idol &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/taylor-swift/&quot;&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/a&gt; in order to cope with the pressures of the programme.&lt;/p&gt;
  11013.  
  11014.  
  11015.  
  11016. &lt;p&gt;Anisa admitted: &amp;#8220;When I came to the house, I always wanted to relax and just chill.&lt;/p&gt;
  11017.  
  11018.  
  11019.  
  11020. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Sometimes it&amp;#8217;s hard when you&amp;#8217;re with your teammates because then it&amp;#8217;s like work gets brought home. &lt;/p&gt;
  11021.  
  11022.  
  11023.  
  11024. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I also made sure I had my own personal time to myself.&lt;/p&gt;
  11025.  
  11026.  
  11027.  
  11028. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The housing team were great because they let me listen to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/taylor-swift/&quot;&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/a&gt; because I&amp;#8217;m a big fan. &lt;/p&gt;
  11029.  
  11030.  
  11031.  
  11032. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve been a big fan of Taylor Swift since I was nine years old and so them allowing that for me made it feel homely.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11055.  
  11056. &lt;p&gt;When asked if that became her coping mechanism amid the stress of the competition, Anisa confessed: &amp;#8220;As the weeks went on, the Taylor Swift increased.&lt;/p&gt;
  11057.  
  11058.  
  11059.  
  11060. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was needed to process everything. It was &lt;span id=&quot;1e917cb6-9843-490d-800a-bd89938c00c8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; especially when there&amp;#8217;s less people in the house. &lt;/p&gt;
  11061.  
  11062.  
  11063.  
  11064. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I got to have a room all to myself, play some music and just sit and lie there and listen.&lt;/p&gt;
  11065.  
  11066.  
  11067.  
  11068. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I just put myself in regenerate mode.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11073.  
  11074.  
  11075.  
  11076. &lt;p&gt;The twist comes after Anisa&amp;#8217;s co-star, and member of the final five, Jordan Dargan, previously told The Sun he had been unable to listen to any music during his time filming in the show as a result of the rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  11077.  
  11078.  
  11079.  
  11080. &lt;p&gt;Jordan admitted there was only one day during down time filming in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/turkey/&quot;&gt;Turkey&lt;/a&gt; that he was able to convince a hotel worker to let him play his music through the hotel bar&amp;#8217;s speaker.&lt;/p&gt;
  11081.  
  11082.  
  11083.  
  11084. &lt;p&gt;Seemingly unaware of Anisa&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8216;rule break&amp;#8217;, Jordan told The Sun last week: &amp;#8220;I remember we were by the &lt;span id=&quot;3d8f08eb-80f9-45b1-8862-9f21065f408f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pool&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/turkey/&quot;&gt;Turkey&lt;/a&gt; and they had their Turkish music playing and we just were never allowed to listen to music. &lt;/p&gt;
  11085.  
  11086.  
  11087.  
  11088. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Listen to me. We didn&amp;#8217;t have phones, you just didn&amp;#8217;t have your own music so I started chatting to the the bartender lady and I was like, &amp;#8216;oh how does the music work?&amp;#8217; &lt;/p&gt;
  11089.  
  11090.  
  11091.  
  11092. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She then let me just pretty much make a big playlists of all my favourite songs and we got some Pina Coladas by the pool.&lt;/p&gt;
  11093.  
  11094.  
  11095.  
  11096. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That was the first time in weeks that I could just listen to any music  so that was like a highlight of the whole process.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11097.  
  11098.  
  11099.  
  11100. &lt;p&gt;Both Anisa and Jordan have remained on Lord Sugar&amp;#8217;s radar with the businessman giving his contact details to Jordan in the penultimate episode whilst &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34523165/the-apprentice-runner-up-anisa-khan-lord-sugar/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Anisa confirmed to The Sun&lt;/a&gt; she is still in talks with the mogul about a potential deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  11101.  
  11102.  
  11103.  
  11104. &lt;p&gt;She told us: &amp;#8220;In the past year, I&amp;#8217;ve been in contact with his team. We&amp;#8217;ve had emails back and forth.&lt;/p&gt;
  11105.  
  11106.  
  11107.  
  11108. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have his&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/whatsapp/&quot;&gt;WhatsApp&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;so we have been in contact.&lt;/p&gt;
  11109.  
  11110.  
  11111.  
  11112. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After the final, he did call to say he is still interested in me. He&amp;#8217;s still interested in my business.&lt;/p&gt;
  11113.  
  11114.  
  11115.  
  11116. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He just said, let the dust settle a bit and then we&amp;#8217;ll have conversations again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11130. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Conor O&amp;#8217;Brien&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11131. &lt;p&gt;Since The Apprentice launched in 2005, Lord Alan Sugar has crowned several winners.&lt;/p&gt;
  11132. &lt;p&gt;In 2011, the prize changed from a job working under Lord Sugar to a £250,000 investment partnership.&lt;/p&gt;
  11133. &lt;p&gt;While some past winners work with Lord Sugar to this day, other collaborations have long ended.&lt;/p&gt;
  11134. &lt;p&gt;Here is a look at some of the winners who have quit working with the business giant.&lt;/p&gt;
  11135. &lt;ul&gt;
  11136. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tim Campbell&lt;/strong&gt;: After winning the first series, Tim (who was 26 at the time) secured a position at Lord Sugar&amp;#8217;s company Amstrad on a £100,000 salary. After two years, Tim left to start a perfume business &amp;#8211; although this was later abandoned. Since 2022, he has been back on The Apprentice as one of Lord Sugar&amp;#8217;s aides.&lt;/li&gt;
  11137. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lee McQueen: &lt;/strong&gt;Having won series four in 2008, 30-year-old Lee McQueen was assigned a position at Amscreen. He left the role after two years in July 2010.&lt;/li&gt;
  11138. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yasmina Siadatan&lt;/strong&gt;: Yasmina, who won The Apprentice in 2009, fell pregnant four months into her £100k-a-year role. She worked for Lord Sugar for 12 months but chose not to return after her maternity leave.&lt;/li&gt;
  11139. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stella English: &lt;/strong&gt;2010 winner Stella English went on to work for Lord Sugar&amp;#8217;s Viglen after time on the BBC show. &amp;nbsp;However, she walked out after 13 months of employment when told her contract would not be renewed and claimed she was just an &amp;#8220;overpaid lackey&amp;#8221;.&lt;/li&gt;
  11140. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mark Wright: &lt;/strong&gt;Australian-born Mark won in 2014 and used the £250,000 investment to found digital marketing agency Climb Online. He&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/20391486/apprentice-mark-wright-sells-business-10-million/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; parted ways with Lord Sugar in 2022&lt;/a&gt;, selling the business for an estimated £10million.&lt;/li&gt;
  11141. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joseph Valente&lt;/strong&gt;: Former plumber Joseph won the BBC show in 2015. However, he and Lord Sugar &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25612169/joseph-valente-fired-lord-sugar-the-apprentice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ultimately ended their working relationship&lt;/a&gt; after 18 months.&lt;/li&gt;
  11142. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alana Spencer&lt;/strong&gt;: Alana partnered up with Lord Sugar after winning in 2016. She claimed the top spot with her cake business Ridiculously Rich. The pair worked together for three years &amp;#8211; until Alana &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/9933924/apprentice-alana-spencer-quits-lord-sugar/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ultimately bought out Lord Sugar.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  11143. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James White&lt;/strong&gt;: In a one-time situation, James was one of two Apprentice winners in 2017. Three years after he won the show, Lord Sugar left the IT recruitment company, but reportedly let him keep the £250,000 investment. &lt;/li&gt;
  11144. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sarah Lynn&lt;/strong&gt;: Sweets delivery businesswoman Sarah was the other joint winner in 2017. She and Lord Sugar &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19704685/lord-alan-sugar-secretly-parts-sarah-lynn-the-apprentice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;parted ways in September 2022.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  11145. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carina Lepore&lt;/strong&gt;: After winning The Apprentice in 2019, Lord Sugar put a £250,000 investment in Carina Lepore&amp;#8217;s Dough Artisan Bakehouse business. However, the pair &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/23517021/lord-sugar-axing-apprentice-carina-lepore-winner/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ended their partnership in  2023.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  11146. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11147. &lt;/div&gt;
  11148. &lt;/div&gt;

  11276. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, Shelby &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34184437/pregnant-towie-shelby-tribble-baby-bump-due-date-gender/&quot;&gt;shared photos of her baby bump&lt;/a&gt; as she counted down the days to her due date.&lt;/p&gt;
  11277.  
  11278.  
  11279.  
  11280. &lt;p&gt;The pair welcomed their first child, a son called Abel, into the world in 2020 but split in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  11281.  
  11282.  
  11283.  
  11284. &lt;p&gt;They delighted fans when they quietly reunited earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;

  11289.  
  11290.  
  11291.  
  11292. &lt;p&gt;Both Shelby and Sam joined the show in 2018, and started dating in October of that same year &amp;#8211; just one month after he&amp;#8217;d split from former flame and co-star Nicole Bass &amp;#8211; and their rocky romance was heavily documented on the programme.&lt;/p&gt;
  11293.  
  11294.  
  11295.  
  11296. &lt;p&gt;However, they&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/10180651/towies-sam-mucklow-quits-show-focus-relationship-shelby-tribble/&quot;&gt;both quit partway through the series the following year&lt;/a&gt;, with Sam returning home from Marbella early and refusing to film any more scenes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11297.  
  11298.  
  11299.  
  11300. &lt;p&gt;He explained that he and Shelby had decided to leave the show due to the &amp;#8220;pressure and anxiety&amp;#8221; it put on their &amp;#8220;fairytale&amp;#8221; relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  11301.  
  11302.  
  11303.  
  11304. &lt;p&gt;Since leave the show, Shelby has&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25554580/towie-shelby-tribble-job-quitting-show-split-sam-mucklow/&quot;&gt;returned to a &amp;#8216;normal job&amp;#8217; a&lt;/a&gt;nd is now a beauty clinician.&lt;/p&gt;

  11376. &lt;p&gt;A second Israeli tourist was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, according to La Repubblica.&lt;/p&gt;
  11377.  
  11378.  
  11379.  
  11380. &lt;p&gt;Italian authorities have identified one of the Brits as Margaret Elaine Winn, 58, but have not named the second &amp;#8211; a man who is believed to be her husband.&lt;/p&gt;
  11381.  
  11382.  
  11383.  
  11384. &lt;p&gt;And the Israeli woman was identified as 25-year-old Janan Suliman.&lt;/p&gt;
  11385.  
  11386.  
  11387.  
  11388. &lt;p&gt;Italian cable car operator Carmine Parlato, 59,&amp;nbsp;was also among those killed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11389.  
  11390.  
  11391.  
  11392. &lt;p&gt;Carmine was understood to be on his daily run up Monte Faito — a 1.8 mile journey from the town of Castellammare di Stabia to the top of the mountain. &lt;/p&gt;
  11393.  
  11394.  
  11395.  
  11396. &lt;p&gt;Umberto De Gregorio, chairman of the cable car company Ente Autonomy Volturno, said he was &amp;#8220;devoted to the cable car as though it was his own home&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11397.  
  11398.  
  11399.  
  11400. &lt;p&gt;Pal Domenico Monoco described Carmine as a &amp;#8220;decent and hard working guy&amp;#8221; in a touching tribute.&lt;/p&gt;
  11401.  
  11402.  
  11403.  
  11404. &lt;p&gt;He wrote: &amp;#8220;I’m really struggling to accept that you’re no longer with us.&lt;/p&gt;
  11405.  
  11406.  
  11407.  
  11408. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I want to remember you for how you’ve always been, a golden boy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11409.  
  11410.

  11436. &lt;p&gt;The group had left the Castellammare di Stabia station at 2:40pm on Thursday, heading for the top of the 3,700ft peak.&lt;/p&gt;
  11437.  
  11438.  
  11439.  
  11440. &lt;p&gt;But six minutes later &amp;#8211; and less than half a minute from the terminal &amp;#8211; the cabin jolted to a stop.&lt;/p&gt;
  11441.  
  11442.  
  11443.  
  11444. &lt;p&gt;Authorities believe the emergency brake system failed &amp;#8211; causing the cabin to slip backwards before a traction cable snapped.&lt;/p&gt;
  11445.  
  11446.  
  11447.  
  11448. &lt;p&gt;Hanging over a steep drop, the cable car hurtled “at full speed” into a pylon and plummeted nearly 100ft into thick woodland.&lt;/p&gt;
  11449.  
  11450.  
  11451.  
  11452. &lt;p&gt;The carriage then tumbled down the mountainside, rescuers said. &lt;/p&gt;
  11453.  
  11454.  
  11455.  
  11456. &lt;p&gt;Rescuers only reached the mangled wreckage two hours later due to treacherous terrain, thick fog and high winds.&lt;/p&gt;

  11473.  
  11474.  
  11475.  
  11476. &lt;p&gt;He was airlifted to hospital in critical condition &amp;#8211; suffering multiple fractures, and remains on a ventilator under deep sedation.&lt;/p&gt;
  11477.  
  11478.  
  11479.

  11481.  
  11482.  
  11483.  
  11484. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, nine passengers and a cabin operator were rescued from a second stranded cable car &amp;#8211; with footage showing how each person had to be evacuated one-by-one via harnesses.&lt;/p&gt;

  11497.  
  11498.  
  11499.  
  11500. &lt;p&gt;He said the line had completed “three months of tests every day, day and night&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; and promised “maximum collaboration with the authorities&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11509.  
  11510.

  11512. &lt;p&gt;In a post on social media, Vincenzo De Luca, president of Campania, called the day &amp;#8220;truly tragic and painful&amp;#8221; and said his thoughts go to those who died, were injured and their families.&lt;/p&gt;
  11513.  
  11514.

  11589. &lt;p&gt;A SENIOR police officer has been sacked for ‘’preying’’ on junior female colleagues, it can today be revealed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11590.  
  11591.  
  11592.  
  11593. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/essex/&quot;&gt;Essex&lt;/a&gt; chief superintendent Tom Simons “engaged in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34496204/sexual-assault-cctv-urgent-police-hunt/&quot;&gt;sexual behaviour without consent&lt;/a&gt;” with one woman, a secret gross misconduct panel ruled.&lt;/p&gt;

  11598.  
  11599.  
  11600.  
  11601. &lt;p&gt;He also had sex with two women while at work, abusing his position to do so with one of them.&lt;/p&gt;
  11602.  
  11603.  
  11604.  
  11605. &lt;p&gt;And the married father Simons failed to disclose a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33315230/soldier-took-own-life-sexual-harassment-pinned-colleague/&quot;&gt;sexual relationship&lt;/a&gt;, the disciplinary tribunal found.&lt;/p&gt;
  11606.  
  11607.  
  11608.  
  11609. &lt;p&gt;He was sacked after being found to have breached professional standards of integrity, authority, respect and courtesy along with discreditable conduct.&lt;/p&gt;
  11610.  
  11611.  
  11612.  
  11613. &lt;p&gt;Simons ran policing in North Essex and was formerly head of the force’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; Public Protection Unit dealing with domestic violence, victims of sexual offences and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/human-trafficking/&quot;&gt;human trafficking&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11614.  
  11615.  
  11616.  
  11617. &lt;p&gt;He transferred to Essex Police from the City of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; force, which he joined in 2002.&lt;/p&gt;
  11618.  
  11619.  
  11620.  
  11621. &lt;p&gt;The allegations proved against him involved two female colleagues.&lt;/p&gt;
  11622.  
  11623.  
  11624.  
  11625. &lt;p&gt;It is understood he faced claims made by a third woman who did not give evidence against him and that matter was dropped.&lt;/p&gt;
  11626.  
  11627.  
  11628.  
  11629. &lt;p&gt;The panel’s decision was reached on Tuesday and followed a two-week gross misconduct hearing held in secret with the media and public barred from attending.&lt;/p&gt;
  11630.  
  11631.  
  11632.  
  11633. &lt;p&gt;An unusual order was also made by the panel chair, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bedfordshire/&quot;&gt;Bedfordshire&lt;/a&gt; assistant chief Constable John Murphy, to prevent Simons being identified.&lt;/p&gt;
  11634.  
  11635.  
  11636.  
  11637. &lt;p&gt;Simons, in his 40’s, was dismissed without notice on Wednesday and the anonymity ban was finally lifted this afternoon as details of the case were finally made public.&lt;/p&gt;

  11661. &lt;p&gt;The decision by panel chair Mr Murphy to wait until Good Friday before lifting the embargo, prompted accusations of burying bad &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;news&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11662.  
  11663.  
  11664.  
  11665. &lt;p&gt;Former Met detective chief inspector Mick Neville said: “It is disgraceful to release this news on an Easter holy day.&lt;/p&gt;
  11666.  
  11667.  
  11668.  
  11669. &lt;p&gt;“The public will be more concerned about thinking about our Lord or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34535205/gatwick-airport-strikes-easter-travel-chaos/&quot;&gt;hot cross buns&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34536519/easter-holiday-travel-disruption-gatwick-airport-euston-delays/&quot;&gt;Easter eggs&lt;/a&gt; than the news.&lt;/p&gt;
  11670.  
  11671.  
  11672.  
  11673. &lt;p&gt;“This is simply burying bad news and you wonder whose benefit it is for?”&lt;/p&gt;
  11674.  
  11675.  
  11676.  
  11677. &lt;p&gt;The Sun had applied for the anonymity order to be removed along with the Independent Office of Police Conduct and the cop’s own force.&lt;/p&gt;
  11678.  
  11679.  
  11680.  
  11681. &lt;p&gt;It can now be revealed how Chief Supt Simons, in his late 40’s, had been suspended on full pay from duties since early 2022 following an allegation of sexual impropriety.&lt;/p&gt;
  11682.  
  11683.  
  11684.  
  11685. &lt;p&gt;Other complainants came forward and an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt; was launched by the police watchdog.&lt;/p&gt;
  11686.  
  11687.  
  11688.  
  11689. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  11693. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  11696. &lt;div&gt;
  11697. &lt;p&gt;If you have been subjected to sexual harassment you can submit a grievance to your HR department and have the right to have that complaint thoroughly investigated, regardless of the seniority of the individuals involved, says the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).&lt;/p&gt;
  11698. &lt;p&gt;Some companies allow for anonymous reporting of complaints or have digitised systems.&lt;/p&gt;
  11699. &lt;p&gt;Since October 26, 2024, employees can expect their employers to take reasonable steps to protect them from sexual harassment as a new duty comes into force.&lt;/p&gt;
  11700. &lt;p&gt;Employers now have a duty to anticipate when sexual harassment may occur and take reasonable steps to prevent it. &lt;/p&gt;
  11701. &lt;p&gt;If sexual harassment has taken place, an employer should take action to stop it from happening again.&lt;/p&gt;
  11702. &lt;/div&gt;
  11703. &lt;/div&gt;
  11704. &lt;/div&gt;
  11706.  
  11707.  
  11708.  
  11709. &lt;p&gt;Simons was questioned under caution and his home was searched and electronic devices seized and interrogated.&lt;/p&gt;
  11710.  
  11711.  
  11712.  
  11713. &lt;p&gt;A file was sent by the IOPC to the CPS in December 2023 for consideration of charges of alleged sexual offences, coercive control and misconduct in public office.&lt;/p&gt;
  11714.  
  11715.  
  11716.  
  11717. &lt;p&gt;Crown lawyers ruled in June last year there was insufficient evidence to prove the allegations against Simons beyond reasonable doubt in a criminal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11718.  
  11719.  
  11720.  
  11721. &lt;p&gt;The IOPC then referred the case back to Essex Police with a recommendation that Simons should face a gross misconduct board in which a lesser burden of proof applies.&lt;/p&gt;
  11722.  
  11723.  
  11724.  
  11725. &lt;p&gt;When the gross misconduct case opened on March 31, police regulations were used by the panel chair to hold it in private and prevent Simons being identified.&lt;/p&gt;
  11726.  
  11727.  
  11728.  
  11729. &lt;p&gt;The ruling was made on the grounds of the impact on the welfare of complainants and consideration to Simons and his family under Article 8 of the European Convention of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/human-rights/&quot;&gt;Human Rights&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11730.  
  11731.  
  11732.  
  11733. &lt;p&gt;In addition, the panel were concerned about the potential for jigsaw identification of complainants if Simons was identified at that time.&lt;br&gt;Simons denied all the allegations against him.&lt;/p&gt;
  11734.  
  11735.  
  11736.  
  11737. &lt;p&gt;The IOPC today revealed Simons had ‘’continued with his behaviour’’ towards women despite being previously ‘’reminded about the importance of maintaining professional boundaries and the need to demonstrate the highest level of integrity and professional standards..’’&lt;/p&gt;
  11738.  
  11739.  
  11740.  
  11741. &lt;p&gt;The senior cop will now be placed on the policing barred list.&lt;/p&gt;
  11742.  
  11743.  
  11744.  
  11745. &lt;p&gt;IOPC Director Emily Barry said: “I would like to praise the courage of the women, preyed on by this officer, who came forward to report his behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;

  11761. &lt;li&gt;Speak to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://247sexualabusesupport.org.uk/&quot;&gt;rape and sexual abuse support line run by Rape Crisis England and Wales&lt;/a&gt; – you can call the helpline on 0808 500 2222 or use the online chat (both are free and are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year).&lt;/li&gt;
  11762. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11763. &lt;/div&gt;
  11764. &lt;/div&gt;
  11765. &lt;/div&gt;
  11767.  
  11768.  
  11769.  
  11770. &lt;p&gt;“They faced pressure from him as a senior officer, but it’s thanks to them that our investigation was able to gather the strong evidence that was put before the panel at the misconduct hearing, resulting in his dismissal.’’&lt;/p&gt;
  11771.  
  11772.  
  11773.  
  11774. &lt;p&gt;She added: “Officers who abuse their position for a sexual purpose have absolutely no place in policing.&lt;/p&gt;
  11775.  
  11776.  
  11777.  
  11778. &lt;p&gt;‘’Despite being reminded about his behaviour and maintaining professional boundaries, Chief Superintendent Simons continued to behave inappropriately.&lt;/p&gt;
  11779.  
  11780.  
  11781.  
  11782. &lt;p&gt;“He has deservedly lost his job and it’s behaviour like this that damages the public’s trust and confidence in police officers.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11783.  
  11784.  
  11785.  
  11786. &lt;p&gt;Essex Police welcomed the chair’s decision to name Simons, who joined the force from City of London Police.&lt;/p&gt;
  11787.  
  11788.  
  11789.  
  11790. &lt;p&gt;Chief Constable of Essex Ben-Julian Harrington said: “There is simply no place in policing for people who think, wrongly, that they can get away with sexual misconduct.&lt;/p&gt;
  11791.  
  11792.  
  11793.  
  11794. &lt;p&gt;“I pay tribute to the witnesses in this case and to those who supported them in coming forward. You saw something that was wrong and then you did the right thing.&lt;/p&gt;
  11795.  
  11796.  
  11797.  
  11798. &lt;p&gt;“I want to praise your courage in being up-standing and in trusting us to see this through.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11799.  
  11800.  
  11801.  
  11802. &lt;p&gt;He added: “This case is particularly disappointing given the seniority of the former officer.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11803.  
  11804.  
  11805.  
  11806. &lt;p&gt;Mr Harrington also thanked journalists who have reported on this important matter “so responsibly” and who helped “shine a light on a serious case while rightly protecting the anonymity of a number of people who so bravely spoke-up.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  11863.  
  11864.  
  11865.  
  11866. &lt;p&gt;Gino, who has been spending time in his native &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt; since the scandal broke in February, was spotted getting into a taxi on a Hertfordshire high street.&lt;/p&gt;
  11867.  
  11868.  
  11869.  
  11870. &lt;p&gt;He kept a low-profile as he made his way into the waiting car in a now rare public sighting for the star who was once regularly on TV screens.&lt;/p&gt;
  11871.  
  11872.  
  11873.  
  11874. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, &lt;span&gt;an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;caadcd20-b5ab-4e03-a098-98d71e69e69e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/span&gt; found there were multiple claims of &amp;#8220;unacceptable,&amp;#8221; &amp;#8220;distressing&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;horrendous&amp;#8221; treatment while working with&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gino-dacampo/&quot;&gt;the TV star&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;over more than 12 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11875.  
  11876.  
  11877.  
  11878. &lt;p&gt;Gino &lt;span&gt;told&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;News he &amp;#8220;firmly denied&amp;#8221; all the allegations, which he called &amp;#8220;deeply upsetting&amp;#8221;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11879.  
  11880.  
  11881.  
  11882. &lt;p&gt;Now, new reports have emerged that state Gino is hellbent on a career comeback with the star hiring a new PR firm in order to tackle his reputation.&lt;/p&gt;
  11883.  
  11884.  
  11885.  
  11886. &lt;p&gt;Insiders close to the star have told the Mail Online that Gino feels &amp;#8220;hard done-by&amp;#8221; and is now hoping to make a successful career return.&lt;/p&gt;
  11887.  
  11888.  
  11889.  
  11890. &lt;p&gt;The source told the publication: &amp;#8220;Gino believes he is the fall guy, the scapegoat, if you like.&lt;/p&gt;
  11891.  
  11892.  
  11893.  
  11894. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;ITV loved him being the one who larked around. He worked for them for more than a decade and they loved him while it was going on.&lt;/p&gt;
  11895.  
  11896.  
  11897.  
  11898. &lt;p&gt;‘He feels pretty hard done by with all of this. &lt;/p&gt;
  11899.  
  11900.  
  11901.  
  11902. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You have to wonder, ITV surely profited from it and now they are running away from it by getting rid of him.&lt;/p&gt;

  11930. &lt;p&gt;Following the revelation of the allegations, ITV&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;confirmed&lt;/span&gt; that it&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33249515/gino-dacampo-shows-pulled-from-tv-schedule/&quot;&gt; will no longer work with Gino,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;or air repeats of his&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/television/&quot;&gt;television&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;shows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  11935.  
  11936.  
  11937.  
  11938. &lt;p&gt;It emerged that one female telly producer claimed to ITV that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33515786/gino-dacampo-drew-explicit-image-tv-producer/&quot;&gt;Gino drew an explicit picture of her&lt;/a&gt; during live filming.&lt;/p&gt;

  11947.  
  11948.  
  11949.  
  11950. &lt;p&gt;It has also been alleged that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33401965/gino-dacampo-allegations-kissed-footballers-charity/&quot;&gt;Gino kissed a footballer&amp;#8217;s wife in front of her husband&lt;/a&gt;, before telling charity gala guests he did it &amp;#8220;because I can&amp;#8221;. He denies all the allegations.&lt;/p&gt;
  11951.  
  11952.  
  11953.  
  11954. &lt;p&gt;Gino has &amp;#8220;firmly denied&amp;#8221; all the allegations against him and In a lengthy statement issued at the time of them coming to light, he said: &amp;#8220;I have been told by ITN &lt;span id=&quot;2eb0aeb3-c797-4586-bc42-c66c32875d87&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some &lt;span id=&quot;1bd298d4-0f30-44d0-98eb-d264dfee7675&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; back over ten years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  11955.  
  11956.  
  11957.  
  11958. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have never been made aware of these matters previously and the allegations are firmly denied. I would not do anything that I thought would upset or distress anyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  11959.  
  11960.  
  11961.  
  11962. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is simply not in my nature. I do not recognise the version of events being put to me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11995.  
  11996.  
  11997.  
  11998. &lt;p&gt;Chucking your entire duvet in the washing machine can be time-consuming and leaves you with a soggy blanket. &lt;/p&gt;

  12007.  
  12008.  
  12009.  
  12010. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34470200&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/2025/04/hands-young-european-woman-makes-987217945.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Hands making a bed.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34470200&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;Leaving your blanket out for around five hours can help keep it clean[/caption]
  12011.  
  12012.  
  12013.  
  12014. &lt;p&gt;If you don&amp;#8217;t want to be dealing with chunky bedding dripping through your home, there is a way to &lt;span id=&quot;c20972d2-5f6f-4fe2-8803-1406d49fe8ea&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;target&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bacteria/&quot;&gt;bacteria&lt;/a&gt; without using water.&lt;/p&gt;
  12015.  
  12016.  
  12017.  
  12018. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Steven Szary, from&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://myluxurysleepshop.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;My Luxury Sleep Shop&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; suggests laying your duvet outside, in a clean place, under the sun. &lt;/p&gt;
  12019.  
  12020.  
  12021.  
  12022. &lt;p&gt;He explained:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;Leave your duvet out for several hours (four to five is about right) and it’s best to do it in the late afternoon or early evening when the sun isn’t too harsh. &lt;/p&gt;
  12023.  
  12024.  
  12025.  
  12026. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A little bit of sun is good though as it helps to kill &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30302038/queen-of-clean-places-scrub-now-bacteria/&quot;&gt;unwanted bacteria&lt;/a&gt; and germs.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12027.  
  12028.  
  12029.  
  12030. &lt;p&gt;By popping your blanket on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/33779068/stacey-solomon-temu-washing-hack/&quot;&gt;washing line&lt;/a&gt; it is subject to UV rays in sunlight &amp;#8211; which are really beneficial when it comes to cleaning.&lt;/p&gt;
  12031.  
  12032.  
  12033.  
  12034. &lt;p&gt;These rays are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30302038/queen-of-clean-places-scrub-now-bacteria/&quot;&gt;effective at killing off germs&lt;/a&gt; and will leave your duvet feeling and smelling fresher than before.&lt;/p&gt;
  12035.  
  12036.  
  12037.  
  12038. &lt;p&gt;The average person sleeps for around eight hours a night which means your bedding is getting more than 50 hours of use per week. &lt;/p&gt;
  12039.  
  12040.  
  12041.  
  12042. &lt;p&gt;Dust and dirt from the day, as well as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34481851/banish-underarm-stains-seconds-item-drawers/&quot;&gt;sweat and body oils&lt;/a&gt;, can get caught up in the sheet &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cleaning-hacks/&quot;&gt;leaving your bed unclean&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12043.  
  12044.  
  12045.  
  12046. &lt;p&gt;Airing it out can kill off some of these pesky pathogens and leave your bedroom smelling fresh as a daisy. &lt;/p&gt;

  12051.  
  12052.  
  12053.  
  12054. &lt;p&gt;Before you run outside with all of your bedding, there are a couple of things to check first. &lt;/p&gt;
  12055.  
  12056.

  12073. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  12075.  
  12076.  
  12077.  
  12078. &lt;p&gt;Most importantly, take a peek at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather-2/&quot;&gt;weather&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; the last thing you want when avoiding &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/25703924/laundry-hack-lynsey-crombie-queen-of-clean/&quot;&gt;washing your duvet&lt;/a&gt; is to accidentally pop it out in the rain.&lt;/p&gt;
  12079.  
  12080.  
  12081.  
  12082. &lt;p&gt;The perfect day would be a dry, sunny and breezy day, if it hasn&amp;#8217;t rained for a few days that&amp;#8217;s even better. &lt;/p&gt;
  12083.  
  12084.  
  12085.  
  12086. &lt;p&gt;Steven said: &amp;#8220;If it’s cloudy or has rained recently, the air will be more humid and will not be as effective for airing out your bedding.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12087.  
  12088.  
  12089.  
  12090. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;fa4aa973-7300-4f09-8144-c356a9aa8f6b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Next&lt;/span&gt;, check how strong the sun is &amp;#8211; it&amp;#8217;s best to wait until the late afternoon when the rays are more gentle. &lt;/p&gt;
  12091.  
  12092.  
  12093.  
  12094. &lt;p&gt;Ideally, it&amp;#8217;s sunny enough to kill off bacteria but not so strong that the fabric gets damaged. &lt;/p&gt;
  12095.  
  12096.  
  12097.  
  12098. &lt;p&gt;Similar to the way harsh sunlight can damage skin and metals, it can also affect the fabric. &lt;/p&gt;
  12099.  
  12100.  
  12101.  
  12102. &lt;p&gt;Sunshine can either discolour it or leave it feeling stiff and uncomfortable. &lt;/p&gt;
  12103.  
  12104.  
  12105.  
  12106. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33305072/save-cash-laundry-hacks-sun-savers/&quot;&gt;Once you&amp;#8217;re all set&lt;/a&gt; you can pop your duvet on a clothes-line, drying rack, fence or even a garden table &amp;#8211; anywhere it can be spread out and remain clean.&lt;/p&gt;
  12107.  
  12108.  
  12109.  
  12110. &lt;p&gt;Let your bedding soak up the sunshine for around five hours and then it&amp;#8217;s ready to go. &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12170.  
  12171.  
  12172.  
  12173. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alisha-lehmann/&quot;&gt;Alisha Debora Lehmann&lt;/a&gt; is a Swiss footballer who plays as a forward for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1362318/juventus/&quot;&gt;Juventus&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/serie-a/&quot;&gt;Serie A&lt;/a&gt; and also represents the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196706/switzerland/&quot;&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt; national team.&lt;/p&gt;
  12174.  
  12175.  
  12176.  
  12177. &lt;p&gt;Born on January 21, 1999, she began her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; journey at the age of nine with FC Konolfingen, where she played from 2008 to 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
  12178.  
  12179.  
  12180.  
  12181. &lt;p&gt;Before making the move to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196719/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;, Alisha spent two years with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196655/west-ham/&quot;&gt;West Ham&lt;/a&gt; and three years with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196670/aston-villa/&quot;&gt;Aston Villa&lt;/a&gt; in the Women’s &lt;span id=&quot;9f539a44-5a39-4df6-8c92-6bf95e740481&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Super League&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12182.  
  12183.  
  12184.  
  12185. &lt;p&gt;The forward made the move to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/womens-super-league/&quot;&gt;Women&amp;#8217;s Super League&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in August 2018 when she was signed by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/womens-super-league/&quot;&gt;West Ham United.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12186.  
  12187.  
  12188.  
  12189. &lt;p&gt;She caught the eye of then-West Ham Women’s manager, Matt Beard, with how she played during the 2018 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uefa/&quot;&gt;UEFA&lt;/a&gt; Women’s Under-19 &lt;span id=&quot;774c69d4-d61e-408e-91b5-656488a5806e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Championship&lt;/span&gt;, which was held in her home country.&lt;/p&gt;
  12190.  
  12191.  
  12192.  
  12193. &lt;p&gt;In January 2021, Alisha made a loan move to Merseyside, joining &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196662/everton/&quot;&gt;Everton&lt;/a&gt; for the remainder of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  12194.  
  12195.  
  12196.  
  12197. &lt;p&gt;Following that stint, she secured a permanent move to Aston Villa, where she went on to score four goals in 23 appearances during her debut season with the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  12198.  
  12199.  
  12200.  
  12201. &lt;p&gt;On the international stage, Alisha earned her first cap for Switzerland in October 2017, and just a few months later, in March 2018, she bagged her first international goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  12202.  
  12203.  
  12204.  
  12205. &lt;p&gt;That goal came against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/15106247/finland/&quot;&gt;Finland&lt;/a&gt; during the 2018 Cyprus Women’s Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
  12206.  
  12207.  
  12208.  
  12209. &lt;p&gt;She &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29006811/alisha-lehmann-aston-villa-transfer-douglas-luiz/&quot;&gt;joined Juventus&lt;/a&gt; in 2024 and has scored 2 goals in 15 appearances so far for the Italian side.&lt;/p&gt;

  12233. &lt;p&gt;Off the pitch, she’s also a model and is considered Switzerland’s top sporting influencer, making waves both on and off the field.&lt;/p&gt;
  12234.  
  12235.  
  12236.  
  12237. &lt;p&gt;At Aston Villa, it’s believed that Alisha was earning around £160,000 a year, with sponsorship deals from the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/adidas/&quot;&gt;Adidas&lt;/a&gt; and EA Sports giving her income an extra boost. &lt;/p&gt;
  12238.  
  12239.  
  12240.  
  12241. &lt;p&gt;On top of that, she reportedly landed a major deal with sports drink brand Prime, said to be worth over £928,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  12242.  
  12243.  
  12244.  
  12245. &lt;p&gt;As for her current contract with Juventus, the details have been kept under wraps, but it was reported early last year that her net worth was estimated to be around £1.9million.&lt;/p&gt;
  12246.

  12254.  
  12255.  
  12256.  
  12257. &lt;p&gt;In March 2025, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33880768/alisha-lehmann-risks-instagram-ban-lingerie/&quot;&gt;she risked a ban on the photo-sharing platform&lt;/a&gt; after rocking a daring see-through top with matching black underwear.&lt;/p&gt;
  12258.  
  12259.  
  12260.  
  12261. &lt;p&gt;She captioned the sultry snaps: &amp;#8220;Second skin.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12262.  
  12263.  
  12264.  
  12265. &lt;p&gt;One fan responded: &amp;#8220;Killing it as always.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12266.  
  12267.  
  12268.  
  12269. &lt;p&gt;Another swooned: &amp;#8220;Alisha you look wonderful!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12270.  
  12271.  
  12272.  
  12273. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Is Alisha Lehmann in a relationship?&lt;/h2&gt;
  12274.  
  12275.  
  12276.  
  12277. &lt;p&gt;The player revealed she is in a relationship with Brazilian international and fellow Juventus star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/douglas-luiz/&quot;&gt;Douglas Luiz&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12278.  
  12279.  
  12280.  
  12281. &lt;p&gt;The two actually dated back in 2021 before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20481649/douglas-luiz-splits-alisha-lehmann-calendar/&quot;&gt;going their separate ways&lt;/a&gt; for a while.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12282.  
  12283.  
  12284.  
  12285. &lt;p&gt;Alisha has been open about her past relationships too. &lt;/p&gt;
  12286.  
  12287.  
  12288.  
  12289. &lt;p&gt;She has dated both men and women, including her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196706/switzerland/&quot;&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt; team-mate Ramona Bachmann.&lt;/p&gt;

  12299.

  12300.  
  12301.  
  12302.  
  12303. &lt;p&gt;Their relationship was featured on the BBC Three show Britain&amp;#8217;s Youngest Football Boss. &lt;/p&gt;
  12304.  
  12305.  
  12306.  
  12307. &lt;p&gt;Ramona and Alisha first met in 2018 when Alisha was playing for West Ham and Bachmann was at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt;, and they officially started &lt;span id=&quot;f3e0c461-6f08-4e8a-9a05-25b0b6c0c0b5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  12308.  
  12309.  
  12310.  
  12311. &lt;p&gt;Reflecting on that time, Alisha told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.marca.com/futbol/futbol-femenino/2025/03/27/alisha-lehmann-futbolista-viral-diria-influencer-juego-futbol.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Marca&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s 2025. I think everyone can date whoever they want and be with whoever they want.&lt;/p&gt;
  12312.  
  12313.  
  12314.  
  12315. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s important to open your mind and stop seeing this as a problem and instead see it as progress.&lt;/p&gt;
  12316.  
  12317.  
  12318.  
  12319. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Be who you are and who you want to be. Love is love. It&amp;#8217;s simple.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12320.  
  12321.  
  12322.  
  12323. &lt;p&gt;That relationship lasted about a year, and after they split, Alisha began dating Douglas again.&lt;/p&gt;
  12324.  
  12325.  
  12326.  
  12327. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Douglas Luiz&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
  12328.  
  12329.  
  12330.  
  12331. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34537487&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/2025/04/Sun_Instagram_image_download_null_71939jpg-JS879518093.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34537487&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Alisha is now in a relationship with Douglas Luiz&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  12332.  
  12333.  
  12334.  
  12335. &lt;p&gt;When they first dated in 2021, Douglas was said to be smitten with her.&lt;/p&gt;
  12336.  
  12337.  
  12338.  
  12339. &lt;p&gt;At the time, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20650160/alisha-lehmann-dating-history/&quot;&gt;a source said:&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8220;He quickly asked her out and they became a footballing &lt;span id=&quot;4119a5de-507a-4f7d-a409-0eef8cc4c935&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;power&lt;/span&gt; couple. They were so loved up.&lt;/p&gt;
  12340.  
  12341.  
  12342.  
  12343. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But, sadly, as Alisha became more in demand off the pitch, the cracks started to appear in their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  12344.  
  12345.  
  12346.  
  12347. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When asked to do a calendar, she jumped at the chance to show off her sexy side but he was not happy.&lt;/p&gt;
  12348.  
  12349.  
  12350.  
  12351. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He didn’t think it was something she should be doing. They rowed a lot and in the end, Alisha simply had enough.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12352.  
  12353.  
  12354.  
  12355. &lt;p&gt;However, the couple are back together, having spent several years together at Aston Villa.&lt;/p&gt;
  12356.  
  12357.  
  12358.  
  12359. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  12362. &lt;p&gt;We do the same job, but he gets paid a hundred times more than me.&lt;/p&gt;
  12363. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  12367. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  12369.  
  12370.  
  12371.  
  12372. &lt;p&gt;The pair then made the move to Juventus last &lt;span id=&quot;a1a79fe5-e292-46b5-a7f0-c4b4faba3b43&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt;, a switch that reportedly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28683971/juventus-transfer-aston-villa-douglas-luiz-alisha-lehmann/&quot;&gt;cost the Italian club £60million for both players&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12373.  
  12374.  
  12375.  
  12376. &lt;p&gt;Alisha said the move was a mutual decision between her and Douglas, explaining: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t know who convinced whom, it just happened.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12377.  
  12378.  
  12379.  
  12380. &lt;p&gt;So in the &lt;span id=&quot;82f8a02f-c96a-4bd2-a2b4-fa138a3044c5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29006811/alisha-lehmann-aston-villa-transfer-douglas-luiz/&quot;&gt;she joined her boyfriend&lt;/a&gt; in swapping the Midlands for the Old Lady.&lt;/p&gt;
  12381.  
  12382.  
  12383.  
  12384. &lt;p&gt;However, she has been vocal about the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30462542/alisha-lehmann-salary-douglas-luiz-juventus/&quot;&gt;gender pay gap in football&lt;/a&gt;, especially when comparing her salary to Douglas’s £100,000-a-week contract.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12385.

  12392. &lt;p&gt;In an interview with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Juventus/13-09-2024/alisha-lehmann-io-douglas-luiz-la-juve-i-social-la-parita-di-retribuzione_preview.shtml?reason=unauthenticated&amp;amp;origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gazzetta.it%2FCalcio%2FSerie-A%2FJuventus%2F13-09-2024%2Falisha-lehmann-io-douglas-luiz-la-juve-i-social-la-parita-di-retribuzione.shtml&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;La Gazzetta dello Sport&lt;/a&gt;, she shared: &amp;#8220;Everyone would like to have the same salary.&lt;/p&gt;
  12393.  
  12394.  
  12395.  
  12396. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I often speak to Douglas at home about this and tell him it&amp;#8217;s not fair.&lt;/p&gt;
  12397.  
  12398.  
  12399.  
  12400. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We do the same job, but he gets paid a hundred times more than me.&lt;/p&gt;
  12401.  
  12402.  
  12403.  
  12404. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s something that affects me because I&amp;#8217;m a woman.&lt;/p&gt;
  12405.  
  12406.  
  12407.  
  12408. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Obviously, there&amp;#8217;s still a long way to go on the path we&amp;#8217;re on because there may never be equal pay.&lt;/p&gt;
  12409.  
  12410.  
  12411.  
  12412. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There will have to be a very strong will to make a change in this direction.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12473.  
  12474.  
  12475.  
  12476. &lt;p&gt;Fiadh was two years old when she fell sick with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/32064152/types-of-cough-remedies-treatment-when-see-doctor/&quot;&gt;a bad cough&lt;/a&gt; in March last year and parents Robert, 37, and Rebecca, 36, from Ipswich, had already been concerned.&lt;/p&gt;
  12477.  
  12478.  
  12479.  
  12480. &lt;p&gt;Robert recalled: “She was diagnosed with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/20840331/bronchiolitis-symptoms-watch-out-for/&quot;&gt;bronchiolitis&lt;/a&gt;, and we were going back and forth to hospital for a week, as she was coughing so much and had lost her appetite.&lt;/p&gt;
  12481.  
  12482.  
  12483.  
  12484. &lt;p&gt;“They gave us a reliever inhaler to help with her breathing, but by the end of the week, she was so bad, Rebecca and I decided to take her back to hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  12485.  
  12486.  
  12487.  
  12488. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was just getting her ready at around 8.30am when I gave her a piece of banana as she hadn’t eaten.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;“Then suddenly, her temples turned grey, and her eyes began rolling back. &lt;/p&gt;
  12489.  
  12490.  
  12491.  
  12492. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nuala was only a week old, and Rebecca was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/breastfeeding/&quot;&gt;breast-feeding&lt;/a&gt; her when I shouted out that Fiadh had stopped breathing.” &lt;/p&gt;
  12493.  
  12494.  
  12495.  
  12496. &lt;p&gt;When Fiadh fell unconscious, Robert was overcome with panic. He scooped her up and ran out of the house, screaming for help and begging her to breathe.&lt;/p&gt;
  12497.  
  12498.  
  12499.  
  12500. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Rebecca immediately dialled 999.&lt;/p&gt;
  12501.  
  12502.  
  12503.

  12505.  
  12506.  
  12507.  
  12508. &lt;p&gt;Just as Rebecca began administering CPR, guided by a paramedic on the phone, the ambulance arrived.&lt;/p&gt;
  12509.  
  12510.  
  12511.  
  12512. &lt;p&gt;“It was one of the scariest moments of our lives,” Robert said.&lt;/p&gt;

  12537.  
  12538.  
  12539.  
  12540. &lt;p&gt;A team of doctors and nurses were waiting at hospital and swept Fiadh straight into intensive care.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12541.  
  12542.  
  12543.  
  12544. &lt;p&gt;“They couldn’t work out what was wrong with her at first,&amp;#8221; Robert recalled.&lt;/p&gt;
  12545.  
  12546.  
  12547.  
  12548. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then a specialist team was brought in and one of the doctors said the piece of banana might have gone down the wrong hole because Fiadh had been struggling to breathe.&lt;/p&gt;
  12549.

  12556. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34527695&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/2025/04/robert-o-halloran-pictured-daughters-987972479.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Robert O’Halloran with his daughters, Fiadh and Nuala.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34527695&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;926&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Robert O’Halloran&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Doctors said her lungs were weakened, which is why she stopped breathing when she choked[/caption]
  12557.  
  12558.  
  12559.  
  12560. &lt;p&gt;“They discovered she had an infection which was affecting her lung capacity and making it hard for her to breathe and that’s probably why, when I’d given her the banana, it had gone down the wrong way.&lt;/p&gt;
  12561.  
  12562.  
  12563.  
  12564. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So, it was a combination of her lungs being too weak because of the infection and the banana going down the wrong way which had caused her to stop breathing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12565.  
  12566.  
  12567.  
  12568. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  12570. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  12571. &lt;p&gt;Just like with Fiadh she had a bad cough, and I thought, ‘Oh no, here we go again&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  12572. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  12576. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  12578.  
  12579.  
  12580.  
  12581. &lt;p&gt;Doctors said Fiadh would need to undergo lifesaving surgery to remove the banana from her airway. &lt;/p&gt;
  12582.  
  12583.  
  12584.  
  12585. &lt;p&gt;But because her lungs were so weak, the operation was high risk. &lt;/p&gt;
  12586.  
  12587.  
  12588.  
  12589. &lt;p&gt;“I was such a mess I couldn’t even talk,” Robert said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12590.  
  12591.  
  12592.  
  12593. &lt;p&gt;“I couldn’t fathom losing Fiadh. The operation only took an hour, but it was the longest hour of my life.&lt;/p&gt;
  12594.  
  12595.  
  12596.  
  12597. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Rebecca had had to stay home with Nuala and when I called her to give her the good &lt;span id=&quot;c0a99de4-6e90-4ce2-b5c8-82cb2db24bb8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt;, we both broke down in tears.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12598.  
  12599.  
  12600.  
  12601. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully, the surgery went well and after a week in intensive care, Faidh began to recover from her pneumonia with antibiotic treatment.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12602.  
  12603.  
  12604.  
  12605. &lt;p&gt;“The first thing she asked for when she came round was some banana – I couldn’t believe it,” Robert said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12606.  
  12607.  
  12608.

  12611. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is bronchiolitis? &lt;/h3&gt;
  12612. &lt;/div&gt;
  12613. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  12616. &lt;div&gt;
  12617. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bronchiolitis is a common chest infection that affects babies and children under two. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12618. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;#8217;s usually mild and can be treated at home, but it can be serious.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12619. &lt;p&gt;The early symptoms of bronchiolitis are similar to a cold, such as sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, a cough and a slightly high temperature of 38C.&lt;/p&gt;
  12620. &lt;p&gt;A child with bronchiolitis may then get other symptoms, such as:&lt;/p&gt;
  12621. &lt;ul&gt;
  12622. &lt;li&gt;Breathing more quickly&lt;/li&gt;
  12623. &lt;li&gt;Finding it difficult to feed or eat&lt;/li&gt;
  12624. &lt;li&gt;Noisy breathing (wheezing)&lt;/li&gt;
  12625. &lt;li&gt;Becoming irritable&lt;/li&gt;
  12626. &lt;/ul&gt;
  12627. &lt;p&gt;Symptoms are usually worst between days three and five, and the cough usually gets better in three weeks. &lt;/p&gt;
  12628. &lt;p&gt;You should ask for an urgent GP appointment of call 111 if: &lt;/p&gt;
  12629. &lt;ul&gt;
  12630. &lt;li&gt;Your child has had a cold and it&amp;#8217;s getting worse&lt;/li&gt;
  12631. &lt;li&gt;Your child is feeding or eating much less than normal&lt;/li&gt;
  12632. &lt;li&gt;Your child has had a dry nappy for 12 hours or more, or shows other&amp;nbsp;signs of dehydration&lt;/li&gt;
  12633. &lt;li&gt;Your baby is under three months and has a temperature of 38C, or is older than thee months and has a temperature of 39C or higher&lt;/li&gt;
  12634. &lt;li&gt;Your baby feels hotter than usual when you touch their back or chest, or feels sweaty&lt;/li&gt;
  12635. &lt;li&gt;Your child is very tired or irritable&lt;/li&gt;
  12636. &lt;/ul&gt;
  12637. &lt;p&gt;Some children may have a higher risk of getting seriously ill with bronchiolitis because they were born prematurely, have a heart or lung condition or have a weakened immune system. &lt;/p&gt;
  12638. &lt;p&gt;Bronchiolitis is caused by a viral infection, usually respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).&lt;/p&gt;
  12639. &lt;p&gt;RSV is very common and spreads easily in coughs and sneezes. Almost all children get it at least once before they&amp;#8217;re two years old.&lt;/p&gt;
  12640. &lt;p&gt;The RSV vaccine helps reduce their risk. &lt;/p&gt;
  12641. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s available on the NHS from 28 weeks of pregnancy. This will help protect your baby for the first few months after they&amp;#8217;re born.&lt;/p&gt;
  12642. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s also offered to adults aged 75 to 79.&lt;/p&gt;
  12643. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Source: NHS &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12644. &lt;/div&gt;
  12645. &lt;/div&gt;
  12646. &lt;/div&gt;
  12648.  
  12649.  
  12650.  
  12651. &lt;p&gt;“I half laughed, and half cried.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12652.  
  12653.  
  12654.  
  12655. &lt;p&gt;Doctors thought the tot might have asthma, but she was too young for a proper diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;
  12656.  
  12657.  
  12658.  
  12659. &lt;p&gt;Once she was well enough, she was sent home with a preventer inhaler to be used daily in case she got breathless.&lt;/p&gt;
  12660.  
  12661.  
  12662.  
  12663. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;Horrific&amp;#8217; second ordeal &lt;/h2&gt;
  12664.  
  12665.  
  12666.  
  12667. &lt;p&gt;Sat by little Fiadh’s hospital bedside willing her to pull through, Robert thought he’d never experience something so awful ever again.&lt;/p&gt;
  12668.  
  12669.  
  12670.  
  12671. &lt;p&gt;But in January, less than a year after the harrowing ordeal, their youngest daughter Nuala was also struck down with a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/32016052/cold-rsv-flu-covid-norovirus/&quot;&gt;respiratory virus&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;
  12672.  
  12673.  
  12674.  
  12675. &lt;p&gt;“Just like with Fiadh she had a bad cough, and I thought, ‘Oh no, here we go again&amp;#8217;,&amp;#8221; Robert said. &lt;/p&gt;
  12676.  
  12677.  
  12678.  
  12679. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She was showing similar symptoms as her sister had and we took her to the hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  12680.  
  12681.  
  12682.  
  12683. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nuala was also given a reliever inhaler, and we were told it was bronchiolitis.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12684.  
  12685.  
  12686.  
  12687. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34527697&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/robert-o-halloran-pictured-daughters-987972556.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Robert O’Halloran pictured with his daughters Fiadh and Nuala.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34527697&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Robert O’Halloran&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Nuala then fell sick &amp;#8211; also with a cough &amp;#8211; less than a year after her sister[/caption]
  12688.  
  12689.  
  12690.  
  12691. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34539770&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 737px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/e9cdca48-dbe6-4932-8c9d-332c0cf73d3c.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=727&quot; alt=&quot;Baby girl sitting on the floor wearing a pink polka dot swimsuit.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34539770&quot; width=&quot;727&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;She was also taken to hospital and was in intensive care for a week&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Robert O’Halloran&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  12692.  
  12693.  
  12694.  
  12695. &lt;p&gt;But Nuala’s condition deteriorated and she was rushed to hospital on February 12, after wheezing and struggling to breathe during a family trip to Billericay.&lt;/p&gt;
  12696.  
  12697.  
  12698.  
  12699. &lt;p&gt;Robert said: “She was put on a life support machine, and it was horrific seeing our tiny little girl covered in tubes.&lt;/p&gt;
  12700.  
  12701.  
  12702.  
  12703. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Rebecca and I just couldn’t believe we were having to go through the same thing again.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  12704.  
  12705.  
  12706.  
  12707. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully, Nuala began to recover after only week in intensive care. &lt;/p&gt;
  12708.  
  12709.  
  12710.  
  12711. &lt;p&gt;“Again, it seems like she’d picked up a respiratory infection and her lungs just hadn’t been able to cope,” Robert said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12712.  
  12713.  
  12714.  
  12715. &lt;p&gt;“We don’t really know why because the girls are still so young, but it made me realise just how important lungs are and how serious things like this can get.&lt;/p&gt;
  12716.  
  12717.  
  12718.  
  12719. &lt;p&gt;“I never thought anything could be as bad as Fiadh being rushed to hospital and not knowing if she would be okay, but then when Nuala also fell ill too, I couldn’t believe it.&lt;/p&gt;
  12720.  
  12721.  
  12722.  
  12723. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When they get a chest infection it hits them hard.” &lt;/p&gt;
  12724.  
  12725.  
  12726.  
  12727. &lt;p&gt;After seeing Fiadh battle &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34209182/signs-pneumonia-mistake-for-cold-val-kilmer-death/&quot;&gt;pneumonia&lt;/a&gt;, Robert decided to raise &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.asthmaandlung.org.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Asthma + Lung UK&lt;/a&gt; to help raise awareness of how serious lung conditions can be and signed up to run the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; Marathon on April 27.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12728.  
  12729.  
  12730.  
  12731. &lt;p&gt;“I am running it for both of them now since Nuala was also hospitalised, &amp;#8221; he says. &lt;/p&gt;
  12732.  
  12733.  
  12734.  
  12735. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And I am running for the &lt;span id=&quot;ca05b011-2d87-4697-8375-759ea3b5a58d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; mum or dad who has to go to hospital and sit by their son or daughter’s bedside because they have a respiratory issue.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  12763. &lt;p&gt;A BRITISH man has been killed after he was swept 50ft to his death in a horrific avalanche at the popular French ski resort Val Thorens.&lt;/p&gt;
  12764.  
  12765.  
  12766.  
  12767. &lt;p&gt;The 27-year-old was discovered buried under the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/snow/&quot;&gt;snow&lt;/a&gt; at the entrance of the resort on Thursday, following a massive snow storm.&lt;/p&gt;

  12776.  
  12777.  
  12778.  
  12779. &lt;p&gt;A rescue helicopter was scrambled to airlift him to safety – but fierce winds and whiteout conditions forced it to abort the mission. &lt;/p&gt;
  12780.  
  12781.  
  12782.  
  12783. &lt;p&gt;Emergency services then rushed him to Grenoble Hospital but he was tragically declared dead at the medical centre on Friday morning, reports &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.francebleu.fr/savoie-l-homme-emporte-par-une-avalanche-a-val-thorens-est-decede-9108852&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Francebleu&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12784.  
  12785.  
  12786.  
  12787. &lt;p&gt;The man had been staying with friends at the UCPA centre at the popular resort before the tragedy struck.&lt;/p&gt;
  12788.  
  12789.  
  12790.  
  12791. &lt;p&gt;Ludovic Trautmann, director of the Savoie prefecture, explained: &amp;#8220;Four landslides have been reported in Les Menuires and Val Thorens &amp;#8211; two of which reached the town centre.&lt;/p&gt;
  12792.  
  12793.  
  12794.  
  12795. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Given the conditions in the coming days, we are calling for the utmost vigilance.&lt;/p&gt;
  12796.  
  12797.  
  12798.  
  12799. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The buried person was affected by the landslide at the bottom of the resort.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12800.  
  12801.  
  12802.  
  12803. &lt;p&gt;The deadly avalanche broke out shortly after 10am and swept the man around 15 metres down the access road to the resort, leaving him trapped under thick snow.&lt;/p&gt;
  12804.  
  12805.  
  12806.  
  12807. &lt;p&gt;After a witness raised the alarm, two &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; officers and three gendarmes on foot rushed to the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
  12808.  
  12809.  
  12810.  
  12811. &lt;p&gt;Officers managed to dig him out and perform emergency CPR as he lay in cardio-respiratory arrest.&lt;/p&gt;

  12835. &lt;p&gt;The Albertville prosecutor confirmed the man was lying at the side of the road when the avalanche hit and was quickly buried.&lt;/p&gt;
  12836.  
  12837.  
  12838.  
  12839. &lt;p&gt;The Savoie region has since been placed under an orange avalanche alert by Météo&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt;, with warnings of more snow and high risk in the coming days.&lt;/p&gt;
  12840.  
  12841.  
  12842.  
  12843. &lt;p&gt;Val Thorens and the neighbouring resort of Tignes were also forced to issue lockdown orders, telling tourists and locals to remain indoors for their own safety.&lt;/p&gt;
  12844.  
  12845.  
  12846.  
  12847. &lt;p&gt;In Tignes, more than 3.5ft of snow fell overnight, forcing locals into lockdown. &lt;/p&gt;
  12848.  
  12849.  
  12850.  
  12851. &lt;p&gt;“All &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cars/&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/a&gt; are covered up to the roof… Just walking outside is worrying,” said Mathis, a hotel worker in the area.&lt;/p&gt;
  12852.  
  12853.  
  12854.  
  12855. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere in the Alps, chaos unfolded as an “exceptional” &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spring/&quot;&gt;spring&lt;/a&gt; storm swept across &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/switzerland/&quot;&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt; – shutting roads, cancelling trains and leaving thousands without &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/power-2/&quot;&gt;power&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12856.  
  12857.  
  12858.  
  12859. &lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;, two men – a father and son aged 64 and 33 – were found dead near Vicenza after their car was swept away by floodwaters as they attempted to help with rescue efforts. &lt;/p&gt;
  12860.  
  12861.  
  12862.  
  12863. &lt;p&gt;A third victim, a 92-year-old man, drowned in his flooded home in the Piedmont region.&lt;/p&gt;
  12864.  
  12865.  
  12866.  
  12867. &lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/switzerland/&quot;&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt;, the 36,000 residents of Sion were ordered to stay home amid fears of avalanches and flooding.&lt;/p&gt;
  12868.  
  12869.  
  12870.  
  12871. &lt;p&gt;Dozens of trucks became stranded on the A43 highway linking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt; after being barred from the Mont Blanc tunnel, and more than 8,000 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes/&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/a&gt; across the region were left without power.&lt;/p&gt;
  12872.  
  12873.  
  12874.  
  12875. &lt;p&gt;Just days ago, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34458217/brit-skier-dies-swiss-alps-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brit skier died after losing control on a Swiss mountain slope&lt;/a&gt; and plunging into a nearby river.&lt;/p&gt;
  12876.  
  12877.  
  12878.  
  12879. &lt;p&gt;The 54-year-old had been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/skiing/&quot;&gt;skiing&lt;/a&gt; an authorised run from the 6,800ft-high Kleine Scheidegg pass when he suddenly veered off piste.&lt;/p&gt;
  12880.  
  12881.  
  12882.  
  12883. &lt;p&gt;He crashed off the marked slope and fell into the Rychenbach Stream on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
  12884.  
  12885.  
  12886.  
  12887. &lt;p&gt;Fellow skiers pulled him from the water near the village of Grindelwald and called emergency services.&lt;/p&gt;
  12888.  
  12889.  
  12890.  
  12891. &lt;p&gt;He was airlifted to hospital in capital Bern, but tragically died from multiple injuries the next day.&lt;/p&gt;
  12892.  
  12893.  
  12894.  
  12895. &lt;p&gt;The river is known worldwide as the setting for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sherlock-holmes/&quot;&gt;Sherlock Holmes&lt;/a&gt;’ final showdown with Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Fall.&lt;/p&gt;

  12979.  
  12980.  
  12981.  
  12982. &lt;p&gt;She then explained: “The first thing we did when we got the shell of our tiny home is framing &amp;#8211; framing probably cost around $750 [£565] when you add the wood, nails and things like that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12983.

  12990. &lt;p&gt;Elly continued: “We are doing most of the manual labour on our own with the help of friends and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;family&lt;/a&gt;, so thankfully, that&amp;#8217;s not costing us.&lt;/p&gt;

  12992.  
  12993.  
  12994. &lt;p&gt;“We decided since the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31621506/tiny-home-woods-youtube-tutorials-old-wood-rustic-cabin/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;house&lt;/a&gt; is so small already, we didn&amp;#8217;t wanna make a whole bunch of walls, so we only framed in a bathroom and a closet.”&lt;/p&gt;

  13081. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  13082. Tiny homes are getting increasingly popular in the UK, especially in the cost of living crisis when first-time buyers are struggling to get on the property ladder or current homeowners are having to pay ridiculous interest rates on mortgages. &lt;/p&gt;
  13084. &lt;div&gt;
  13085. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Rebecca Miller (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/rebecca-miller/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Rebecca Miller&lt;/a&gt;, Fabulous’ Associate Editor, has shared why living in a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;tiny home (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27642845/built-tiny-home-parents-garden-rent-free-five-years/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;tiny home&lt;/a&gt; would be her idea of a nightmare. &lt;/p&gt;
  13086. &lt;p&gt;“I’m currently in the process of selling my flat and buying a house, and as I pack up all my belongings, I’m worried where it is all going to go &amp;#8211; there is so much stuff!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13087. &lt;p&gt;Fortunately, I’m very privileged to be buying a house with more square feet than my current flat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13088. &lt;p&gt;But it got me wondering, could I ever live in a small space? And the answer is no.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13089. &lt;ol&gt;
  13090. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Less personal space&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  13091. &lt;/ol&gt;
  13092. &lt;p&gt;Living with another person immediately cuts down on personal space, but remove several rooms, and I’d be left with only the bathroom as my sanctuary.&amp;nbsp;I&amp;#8217;m not sure I&amp;#8217;d be able to cope! &lt;/p&gt;
  13093. &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
  13094. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Less storage space&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  13095. &lt;/ol&gt;
  13096. &lt;p&gt;I’m like a magpie, I like collecting pretty &lt;em&gt;things&lt;/em&gt;, and I like my belongings to be organised. With limited storage space, I’d find it really hard to keep everything neat and tidy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13097. &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
  13098. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can’t play host&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  13099. &lt;/ol&gt;
  13100. &lt;p&gt;One of the joys of being an independent adult is being able to host &amp;#8211; friends, family, overnight stays, and dinner parties. Where would I gather everyone for a Sunday lunch if my table only sat two? Not to mention, how would I cook a Sunday lunch?&lt;/p&gt;
  13101. &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
  13102. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No room to grow&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  13103. &lt;/ol&gt;
  13104. &lt;p&gt;Both as an individual, as part of a couple and also my hobbies, can be restricted by physical space. When I first moved into my flat, I was overjoyed at having my own balcony, and it has been a space where my love for gardening has grown. Five years on, my balcony is now overflowing with plants, and I’ve had to set up a mini propagator in the living room! &lt;/p&gt;
  13105. &lt;/div&gt;
  13106. &lt;/div&gt;

  13147. &lt;p&gt;RUBEN AMORIM has said he &amp;#8220;had to&amp;#8221; let his players go after Victor Lindelof and Noussair Mazraoui were forced to leave Old Trafford early last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  13148.

  13150.  
  13151. &lt;p&gt;The Manchester United defenders both left the ground at half-time as the Red Devils pulled off a miracle comeback to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34535119/hojlund-crude-caption-man-utd-europa-reaction/&quot;&gt;beat Lyon 5-4 and advance to the Europa League semi-finals&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13164.

  13168.  
  13169.  
  13170.  
  13171. &lt;p&gt;After the match Amorim revealed that the pair were &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34533884/man-utd-lindelof-leave-old-trafford-personal-issue/&quot;&gt;both forced to exit the Theatre of Dreams due to personal matters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13172.  
  13173.  
  13174.  
  13175. &lt;p&gt;Now the United boss has given another update on the duo, explaining that they will be able to return to action for this weekend&amp;#8217;s Premier League clash with Wolves.&lt;/p&gt;
  13176.  
  13177.  
  13178.  
  13179. &lt;p&gt;Asked about Lindelof&amp;#8217;s absence, he said: &amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s available. He has personal issues like Nous [Mazraoui] so we had to let him go but everything is OK now.&lt;/p&gt;
  13180.  
  13181.  
  13182.  
  13183. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; is really important but there are things that are more important and then they will be ready to face the next game.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13184.  
  13185.  
  13186.  
  13187. &lt;p&gt;Amorim didn&amp;#8217;t divulge exactly what issues the pair had encountered, but reassured fans that they are both fine.&lt;/p&gt;
  13188.  
  13189.  
  13190.  
  13191. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Both [issues came to light] during the game and sometimes you don&amp;#8217;t control these things&amp;#8221;, he added.&lt;/p&gt;
  13192.  
  13193.  
  13194.  
  13195. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Everything happened this season, but everything is OK now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13211. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  13212. MANCHESTER UNITED scored three goals in seven unbelievable minutes to beat Lyon in one of the all-time great nights at Old Trafford. &lt;/p&gt;
  13214. &lt;div&gt;
  13215. &lt;p&gt;The Red Devils looked to be putting in one of their best displays since Ruben Amorim took over as they raced into a 2-0 lead.&lt;/p&gt;
  13216. &lt;p&gt;But after conceding one goal, they let the ground slip from under them, quickly giving away another to allow Lyon to take the game to extra time.&lt;/p&gt;
  13217. &lt;p&gt;Not even a red card for Corentin Tolisso could get United out of their slump as the French side completely dominated most of the additional 30 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  13218. &lt;p&gt;Rayan Cherki and an Alexandre Lacazette penalty meant the visitors looked home and hosed before Casemiro was fouled and Bruno Fernandes hit home from the spot.&lt;/p&gt;
  13219. &lt;p&gt;Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire then both netted in stoppage time of extra time to secure a scarcely believable win.&lt;/p&gt;
  13220. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34532608/man-utd-ratings-maguire-dorgu-lyon/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s how SunSport&amp;#8217;s Phil Thomas rated the United stars on a night that went from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13221. &lt;/div&gt;
  13222. &lt;/div&gt;
  13223. &lt;/div&gt;

  13229.  
  13230.  
  13231.  
  13232. &lt;p&gt;SunSport understands that both issues were independent of each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  13233.  
  13234.  
  13235.  
  13236. &lt;p&gt;Lindelof, 30, had been warming up at half-time and was due to replace Mazraoui.&lt;/p&gt;

  13259.  
  13260. &lt;p&gt;However, the Swedish international&amp;#8217;s emergency meant &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luke-shaw/&quot;&gt;Luke Shaw&lt;/a&gt; had to come on instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  13261.  
  13262.  
  13263.  
  13264. &lt;p&gt;United did just fine in the absence of Lindelof and Mazraoui as they pulled off one of the greatest European nights in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/old-trafford/&quot;&gt;Old Trafford&lt;/a&gt; history.&lt;/p&gt;
  13265.  
  13266.  
  13267.  
  13268. &lt;p&gt;Amorim&amp;#8217;s side had blown their own 2-0 advantage to fall 4-2 behind to their French opponents with just over 10 minutes to play in extra-time.&lt;/p&gt;
  13269.  
  13270.  
  13271.  
  13272. &lt;p&gt;But a 114th minute Bruno Fernandes penalty was followed by goals at the death by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kobbie-mainoo/&quot;&gt;Kobbie Mainoo&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/harry-maguire/&quot;&gt;Harry Maguire&lt;/a&gt; to keep Man Utd&amp;#8217;s season alive and send Old Trafford into a frenzy of celebration.&lt;/p&gt;
  13273.  
  13274.  
  13275.  
  13276. &lt;p&gt;Amorim had thrown 6ft 4in Maguire up front in the late stages to push for a winning goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  13277.  
  13278.  
  13279.  
  13280. &lt;p&gt;And the gamble paid off when the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; centre-back nodded the ball past &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1504303/lyon/&quot;&gt;Lyon&lt;/a&gt; goalkeeper Lucas Perri in the 121st minute to cause utter bedlam in the stands.&lt;/p&gt;
  13281.  
  13282.  
  13283.  
  13284. &lt;p&gt;Explaining the decision after the game, he said: &amp;#8220;We tried to put Harry Maguire up front because he is the only one who can score a goal with a header.&lt;/p&gt;
  13285.  
  13286.  
  13287.  
  13288. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The sounds of the stadium was the best ever. Some people collect shirts, scarves, but I want to keep that sound, it&amp;#8217;s the best sound in the world.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13342. &lt;p&gt;Last month, the 24-year-old confirmed she and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-fincham/&quot;&gt;Jack&lt;/a&gt;, 33, were no longer in a relationship.&lt;/p&gt;

  13355.  
  13356.  
  13357.  
  13358. &lt;p&gt;And since then, she has been sharing a series of cryptic posts which clearly take a pop at her ex.&lt;/p&gt;
  13359.  
  13360.  
  13361.  
  13362. &lt;p&gt;In her latest, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-only-way-is-essex/&quot;&gt;Towie&lt;/a&gt; star wrote on instagram: &amp;#8220;Respect yourself enough to walk away from everything that violates your value.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13363.  
  13364.  
  13365.  
  13366. &lt;p&gt;It comes as Chloe if she was still in a relationship in a recent instagram Q&amp;amp;A session.&lt;/p&gt;
  13367.  
  13368.  
  13369.  
  13370. &lt;p&gt;The reality star replied: &amp;#8220;No I&amp;#8217;m not in a relationship anymore… just want to focus on myself and the things that make me happy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13371.  
  13372.  
  13373.  
  13374. &lt;p&gt;Then, when pressed as to whether she and Jack would be moving in together, she said: &amp;#8220;No I am moving to Brentwood on my own… I can&amp;#8217;t wait to show you all my little place it&amp;#8217;s so pretty.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13375.  
  13376.  
  13377.  
  13378. &lt;p&gt;Chloe and Jack have endured a rocky romance over the years, and taken regular swipes at one another on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34014645/chloe-brockett-crisis-talks-jack-fincham/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  13379.  
  13380.  
  13381.  
  13382. &lt;p&gt;Last year she hit out at&lt;span&gt; Jack following a&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26283483/towies-chloe-brockett-jack-fincham/&quot;&gt;series of &amp;#8220;jealous rows&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13383.  
  13384.  
  13385.  
  13386. &lt;p&gt;Then later in 2024 she&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/31904987/chloe-brockett-dumps-jack-fincham-again/&quot;&gt;dumped Jack in a public Instagram post.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13387.  
  13388.  
  13389.  
  13390. &lt;p&gt;With Chloe saying in November: &amp;#8220;Me and Jack are no longer in a relationship, carrying the weight of a 32 year old who refuses to pay any&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id=&quot;764c0d43-cf74-48ec-8fb2-7748b2766d6c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has become somewhat tiresome.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13391.  
  13392.  
  13393.  
  13394. &lt;p&gt;She then proceeded to remove all photos of her and Jack from her Instagram page. &lt;/p&gt;
  13395.  
  13396.  
  13397.  
  13398. &lt;p&gt;Just days ago Chloe took to Instagram again, and couldn&amp;#8217;t resist the opportunity to aim another brutal dig at Jack.&lt;/p&gt;

  13421.  
  13422. &lt;p&gt;During an&amp;nbsp;Instagram&amp;nbsp;Q&amp;amp;A, a fan asked Chloe: &amp;#8220;What advice would you give 18 year-old Chloe ? Xx”&lt;/p&gt;
  13423.  
  13424.  
  13425.  
  13426. &lt;p&gt;To which Chloe replied: “To stay away from a********, and you don’t need to shout in every conversation (crying laughing emoji)”&lt;/p&gt;
  13427.  
  13428.  
  13429.  
  13430. &lt;p&gt;It comes after Jack narrowly avoided going to &lt;span id=&quot;f71c4fcd-757d-4d3d-ba14-bc6226357d08&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;prison&lt;/span&gt; earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  13431.

  13435.  
  13436.  
  13437.  
  13438. &lt;p&gt;Jack was initially sentenced to jail because the offence triggered a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/26667050/love-island-jack-fincham-cocaine-drive-bmw/&quot;&gt;suspended sentence for drug driving&lt;/a&gt;, but the decision was instantly appealed which meant he didn’t go to prison.&lt;/p&gt;
  13439.  
  13440.  
  13441.  
  13442. &lt;p&gt;Elvis spent eight months in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; kennels&amp;nbsp;after being seized but has since been reunited with Jack.&lt;/p&gt;
  13443.  
  13444.  
  13445.  
  13446. &lt;p&gt;Jack is now said to be studying to be a dog trainer after it was recently revealed that he&amp;#8217;s returned to his pre-fame job of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34531163/jack-fincham-back-to-pre-fame-job-selling-stationery/&quot;&gt;selling stationery&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13447.

  13449.  
  13450. &lt;p&gt;In a clip with fellow Love Islanders&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kazimir-crossley/&quot;&gt;Kaz Crossley&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/josh-denzel/&quot;&gt;Josh Denzel&lt;/a&gt;, Jack makes a mock phone call pretending to flog office supplies.&lt;/p&gt;
  13451.  
  13452.  
  13453.  
  13454. &lt;p&gt;He then said: “I wasn’t really making it up. The old pitch, I was talking way too fast there.&lt;/p&gt;
  13455.  
  13456.  
  13457.  
  13458. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Anyway if anyone has anything to do with ordering office supplies and stationery or in fact ANYTHING for their company send me a DM over on @ajofficesupplies and let’s have a chat as I’m sure there is an area I can save you some &lt;span id=&quot;79e7de7b-2c64-455a-a400-4d4d904e01f1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;, from catering to workwear there is nothing we can’t source.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13539.  
  13540.  
  13541.  
  13542. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nothing spoils delicious cod faster than a soggy outside but coatings here always stay crunchy even with all the salt and vinegar tipped on top. Impressive.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13586. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Local Lowdown: &lt;/strong&gt;Eat in and enjoy riverside views or takeaway your favourite order at this family run &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bristol/&quot;&gt;Bristol&lt;/a&gt; chippy where quality, fresh British seafood is at the heart of the daily changing menu.&lt;/p&gt;
  13587.  
  13588.  
  13589.  
  13590. &lt;p&gt;Everything is made in house and alongside traditional cod and haddock in crispy batter you’ll also find seasonal catches from local coastal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/markets/&quot;&gt;markets&lt;/a&gt; such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17222235/fishing-port-brixham-brexit-record-haul/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brixham Hake&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13595.  
  13596.  
  13597.  
  13598. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The chips, made from sacks of British spuds, should definitely be dipped into a pot of homemade mushy peas or my choice: Madras curry sauce.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13599.  
  13600.  
  13601.  
  13602. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aldo’s Pick: &lt;/strong&gt;The Lock Keeper’s Lunch menu, peas, tartare sauce and a mug of tea with your fish and chip portion. (£12.95).&lt;/p&gt;

  13621.  
  13622. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Local Lowdown: &lt;/strong&gt;Residents love the taste of the fish and chip suppers served up by family-run Bells which has grown from one chippy to a few venues in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/durham/&quot;&gt;Durham&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  13623.

  13627.  
  13628.  
  13629.  
  13630. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aldo says:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8220;For me what matters about this chippy is that they really care about great service as well as serving up a tasty portion of fish and chips. &lt;/p&gt;
  13631.  
  13632.  
  13633.  
  13634. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They’ve worked hard to create a nice ambience which I know takes consistent attention to detail.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13635.  
  13636.  
  13637.  
  13638. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aldo’s Pick: &lt;/strong&gt;Classic cod and chips (£10.50). Go hungry beforehand as portions are big.&lt;/p&gt;

  13699.  
  13700.  
  13701.  
  13702. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s incredible that they still cook their cod on a coal fired range – you can’t get more authentic or traditionally British than that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13731.

  13797.  
  13798. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aldo says: &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8220;Having breadcrumb coating around your fish instead of traditional batter tastes just as delicious as well as being a bit healthier and here you can choose between both. &lt;/p&gt;
  13799.  
  13800.  
  13801.  
  13802. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’d generally order fish but if you like sausage and chips or even a burger, the ones on this menu are from an award winning local butcher, so maybe even I’d make an exception!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13896.  
  13897.  
  13898. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Take it from someone who knows, the chips here are amazing, fluffy and perfectly cooked, the fish is perfectly seasoned and fresh as anything. My whole family loves a treat from here.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13933.  
  13934. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aldo’s Pick:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;I’d order whatever the seafood special is that day. It changes regularly so you know it will be fresh and delicious. Or Skate and Chips is something slightly different to try here. (£15.99)&lt;/p&gt;

  13977.  
  13978.  
  13979.  
  13980. &lt;p&gt;The town recently revealed its €98,594 (£84,569) renovation which was spent on spent on refreshing the area, with new flowerbeds, planters and improvements to the facades of buildings.&lt;/p&gt;
  13981.  
  13982.  
  13983.  
  13984. &lt;p&gt;And La Villa&amp;#8217;s town hall now hopes to attract more tourists.&lt;/p&gt;
  13985.  
  13986.  
  13987.  
  13988. &lt;p&gt;The mayor of the Vélez-Málaga region, Jesús Lupiáñez, and councillor for the historic centre, Juan Fernández, visited the town after the works were completed.&lt;/p&gt;
  13989.  
  13990.  
  13991.  
  13992. &lt;p&gt;The mayor said that they hoped the improvements will make La Villa &amp;#8220;a must visit&amp;#8221; destination as part of Vélez-Málaga.&lt;/p&gt;
  13993.  
  13994.  
  13995.  
  13996. &lt;p&gt;The redevelopment is part of a wider programme improving the local area, which will cost around €659,290 (£565,387) when finished.&lt;/p&gt;
  13997.  
  13998.

  14009.  
  14010.  
  14011.  
  14012. &lt;p&gt;Much of the region has transformed from a hub for fishing and agriculture into a number of&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/30787212/tiny-victorian-seaside-town-award-winning-holiday-resort/&quot;&gt; sandy holiday resorts&lt;/a&gt; including Benajarafe, Almayate, la Caleta de Vélez, Mezquitilla and Lagos. &lt;/p&gt;

  14015.  
  14016. &lt;p&gt;The town is also a short distance from the seafront, where there is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34143434/lighthouse-transformed-captain-birds-eye/&quot;&gt;lighthouse, &lt;/a&gt;sandy beaches, and a number of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/restaurants/&quot;&gt;restaurants&lt;/a&gt; and cafes. &lt;/p&gt;

  14295.  
  14296. &lt;p&gt;They then shared a smooch on the driveway as Louis passionately gripped her sweatshirt.&lt;/p&gt;
  14297.  
  14298.  
  14299.  
  14300. &lt;p&gt;Their affectionate display has given fans a glimpse of their growing closeness, just weeks after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33900013/louis-tomlinson-dating-zara-mcdermott-hotel-pictures/&quot;&gt;The Sun revealed they were &lt;span id=&quot;d43ffe43-a08a-4c1e-b0c8-5b2834d6545b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  14301.  
  14302.  
  14303.  
  14304. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The snaps &lt;/span&gt;come just an hours after Zara&amp;#8217;s ex&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sam-thompson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sam Thompson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;appeared on ITV&amp;#8217;s This Morning for an Easter segment. &lt;/p&gt;
  14305.  
  14306.  
  14307.  
  14308. &lt;p&gt;Heartbroken Sam, who split form Zara in December after five years together, has struggled with the break-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  14309.  
  14310.  
  14311.  
  14312. &lt;p&gt;He has openly spoken about finding it tough on his podcast with best pal Pete Wicks, while The Sun revealed that he was left&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33913313/devastated-sam-thompson-blindsided-zara-mcdermott-louis-tomlinson/&quot;&gt; &amp;#8220;blindsided&amp;#8221; by her new romance with Louis.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14313.  
  14314.  
  14315.  
  14316. &lt;p&gt;Zara wore a blue tracksuit and &lt;span id=&quot;0d8995a2-1222-4e7a-bb0f-7c5fd1297612&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Adidas&lt;/span&gt; sneakers, while Louis also went for a  casual look in a black hoodie, tracksuit and black socks.&lt;/p&gt;
  14317.  
  14318.  
  14319.  
  14320. &lt;p&gt;After having their goodbye kiss, the pair were seen strolling hand-in-hand down the driveway towards a car waiting for Zara.&lt;/p&gt;
  14321.  
  14322.  
  14323.  
  14324. &lt;p&gt;The former reality star flashed a big smile after spending the night with her new beau at the luxury pad.&lt;/p&gt;
  14325.  
  14326.

  14329.  
  14330.  
  14331.  
  14332. &lt;p&gt;The ex-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; star was seen getting into the passenger seat of the car, while carrying a jacket and a bottle of water in her hand.&lt;/p&gt;
  14333.  
  14334.  
  14335.  
  14336. &lt;p&gt;Documentary-maker Zara looked fresh-faced with minimal makeup and wearing an oversized pair of glasses.&lt;/p&gt;
  14337.  
  14338.  
  14339.  
  14340. &lt;p&gt;Just days ago, they were &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34495011/zara-mcdermott-louis-tomlinson-hold-hands-holiday-sam-thompson/&quot;&gt;spotted looking loved up&lt;/a&gt; as they held hands on their Californian holiday.&lt;/p&gt;

  14364. &lt;p&gt;The couple &amp;#8211; whose&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34375902/zara-mcdermott-louis-tomlinson-first-holiday/&quot;&gt;relationship is going from strength to strength&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; were spotted on a romantic stroll in Malibu.&lt;/p&gt;
  14365.  
  14366.  
  14367.  
  14368. &lt;p&gt;Looking happy and relaxed in each other&amp;#8217;s company, Zara and Louis wore casual clothes to head to Soho Beach House where they enjoyed a late lunch by the ocean.&lt;/p&gt;
  14369.  
  14370.  
  14371.  
  14372. &lt;p&gt;The twosome looked deep in conversation as they shared a laugh and sweetly walked hand in hand together.&lt;/p&gt;
  14373.  
  14374.  
  14375.  
  14376. &lt;p&gt;A source said: “Louis and Zara are exclusive and aren’t seeing anyone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  14377.  
  14378.  
  14379.  
  14380. &lt;p&gt;“Louis is totally smitten with Zara and she feels the same about him.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14381.  
  14382.  
  14383.  
  14384. &lt;p&gt;It was the first time they&amp;#8217;ve been pictured as a couple&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33900013/louis-tomlinson-dating-zara-mcdermott-hotel-pictures/&quot;&gt;since their cosy dinner date in March&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14385.  
  14386.  
  14387.  
  14388. &lt;p&gt;Zara today launched her new swim and gym-wear range, Rise by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/zara-mcdermott/&quot;&gt;Zara McDermott&lt;/a&gt;, for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-look/&quot;&gt;New Look&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14389.  
  14390.  
  14391.  
  14392. &lt;p&gt;She shared stunning snaps of herself wearing her collection&amp;#8217;s must-have pieces on her&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;page, while enjoying her holiday with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/one-direction/&quot;&gt;One Direction&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;star Louis.&lt;/p&gt;
  14393.  
  14394.  
  14395.  
  14396. &lt;p&gt;The new couple had been snapped through the window enjoying £100 fish and chips together after getting to know each other out of the spotlight.&lt;/p&gt;
  14397.  
  14398.  
  14399.  
  14400. &lt;p&gt;Then last week they jetted out to spend time together in&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/los-angeles/&quot;&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt;, where they&amp;nbsp;both posted videos from a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/17836923/stereophonics-oochya-kelly-jones-meaning/&quot;&gt;Stereophonics&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;gig at The Wiltern&amp;nbsp;theatre.&lt;/p&gt;
  14401.  
  14402.  
  14403.  
  14404. &lt;p&gt;Insiders claim &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/louis-tomlinson/&quot;&gt;Louis&lt;/a&gt; has already introduced Zara to his family.&lt;/p&gt;
  14405.  
  14406.  
  14407.  
  14408. &lt;p&gt;A source told The Sun: “Louis&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Zara&amp;nbsp;are totally&amp;nbsp;hooked&amp;nbsp;on each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  14409.  
  14410.  
  14411.  
  14412. &lt;p&gt;“They have kept everything very low key so far but their relationship is getting more serious.&lt;/p&gt;
  14413.  
  14414.  
  14415.  
  14416. &lt;p&gt;“Zara&amp;nbsp;has been busy filming a new&amp;nbsp;documentary&amp;nbsp;for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;but she scheduled in a break to get away with her family, then spend some time with&amp;nbsp;Louis.&lt;/p&gt;
  14417.  
  14418.  
  14419.  
  14420. &lt;p&gt;“She is really happy and has found someone very special in&amp;nbsp;Louis.&lt;/p&gt;
  14421.  
  14422.  
  14423.  
  14424. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Sam&amp;#8217;s heartbreak&lt;/h2&gt;

  14429.  
  14430.  
  14431.  
  14432. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/made-in-chelsea/&quot;&gt;Made In Chelsea&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;alum dressed casually in a denim jacket and a black T-shirt while making his way back home.&lt;/p&gt;
  14433.  
  14434.  
  14435.  
  14436. &lt;p&gt;The star looked downcast as he was seen strolling through Chelsea.&lt;/p&gt;
  14437.  
  14438.  
  14439.  
  14440. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Hours before Zara and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;singer Louis were photographed, Sam posted a&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;snap&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of himself&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32780070/sam-thompson-custody-cats-zara-mcdermott-split/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;kissing Albus &amp;#8211; the cat he and Zara share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14441.  
  14442.  
  14443.  
  14444. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sam has opened up on his feelings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33961070/sam-thompson-poor-me-routine-wear-thin-zara-split/&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;about the split on&amp;nbsp;podcasts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;admitting that he&amp;#8217;s struggled and is feeling &amp;#8220;terrified&amp;#8221; about where he goes from here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  14496. &lt;p&gt;The memorial park was established by mum Cheryl after Olivia, nine, was shot dead by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21919938/thomas-cashman-murder-olivia-pratt-korbel/&quot;&gt;Thomas Cashman &lt;/a&gt;who burst into her home in Liverpool in August 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

  14512. &lt;p&gt;Olivia was hit by a bullet fired by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21643523/shot-olivia-pratt-korbel-lay-dying-target-hospital/&quot;&gt;Cashman&lt;/a&gt; as he tried to kill gangland rival Joseph Nee, who had run into Olivia’s home to try and escape from him.&lt;/p&gt;

  14516. &lt;p&gt;In the wake of her death, the playground was created close to where &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21646575/olivia-pratt-korbel-blood-pyjamas-shooting/&quot;&gt;Olivia’s family&lt;/a&gt; live in Liverpool.&lt;/p&gt;

  14523.  
  14524. &lt;p&gt;The Olivia&amp;#8217;s Butterfly Foundation, which was established by Cheryl&amp;#8217;s cousin Rebecca Louise, posted a video of the damage on Facebook, adding: “Unfortunately, this is the aftermath of children playing with fire on the Finch Lane land where Olivia’s memorial tree sits.&lt;/p&gt;

  14527.  
  14528. &lt;p&gt;“This equipment belongs to HA Civils, a local company who, out of the kindness of their own hearts, are actually helping us develop that land which will in turn benefit the local children and our community.&lt;/p&gt;
  14529.  
  14530.  
  14531.  
  14532. &lt;p&gt;“We are extremely disappointed and it breaks our hearts to see a local firm lose out on so much financially and our land destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;

  14535.

  14654.  
  14655.

She would be chatting away. One thing I miss most is hearing her say ‘mum’, I just miss hearing her voice.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14662.  
  14663.  
  14664.  
  14665. &lt;p&gt;“It’s just so quiet. I would do anything to have her chatting to me. It’s so lonely without her. Everything is so quiet. I can’t cope with the silence.&lt;/p&gt;
  14666.  
  14667.  
  14668.  
  14669. &lt;p&gt;She told how the horror happened at home, where they should have been safe, as she revealed how everything was left as it was when the family were forced to leave.&lt;/p&gt;

He has totally failed to learn the error of his ways and is still dealing drugs behind bars.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14776. &lt;p&gt;Cashman was a major drug supplier in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and making up to £5,000 a week when he&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21891322/thomas-cashman-olivia-pratt-korbel-murder-guilty/&quot;&gt;shot dead Olivia&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at her home in the Dovecot area of the city in August 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

  14837. &lt;p&gt;SNOOKER’s inaugural Champions’ Dinner – inspired by the annual Masters shindig for legends – saw 11 surviving world conquerors come together for a celebratory night.&lt;/p&gt;
  14838.  
  14839.

  14841. &lt;p&gt;The menu for the Last Supper on Thursday evening was “inspired” by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kyren-wilson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kyren Wilson&lt;/a&gt; ahead of the defence of his world title, which begins on Easter Saturday against Chinese qualifier Lei Peifan in round one.&lt;/p&gt;

  14858.  
  14859.  
  14860.  
  14861. &lt;p&gt;In a restaurant close to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34535564/ronnie-o-sullivan-world-snooker-championship-dinner-snub/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Crucible Theatre&lt;/a&gt;, the illustrious group consisted of Stuart Bingham, Steve Davis, Ken Doherty, Peter Ebdon, Stephen Hendry, Shaun Murphy, John Parrott, Neil Robertson, Dennis Taylor, Cliff Thorburn and Wilson.&lt;/p&gt;
  14862.  
  14863.  
  14864.  
  14865. &lt;p&gt;Between them, they had a grand total of TWENTY-TWO world titles since 1980 and it was a night of wild stories, laughter, good food and flowing wine and beer.&lt;/p&gt;
  14866.  
  14867.  
  14868.  
  14869. &lt;p&gt;For starters, which was under the heading Frame 1, players had the choice between prawn cocktail and mushroom soup with truffle oil.&lt;/p&gt;
  14870.  
  14871.  
  14872.  
  14873. &lt;p&gt;For the main course (frame 2), the choice was slow cooked beef, red wine jus, served with potatoes and vegetables and a Yorkshire pudding – or a vegetarian option of spiced chickpea and vegetable stew with rice.&lt;/p&gt;
  14874.  
  14875.  
  14876.  
  14877. &lt;p&gt;For dessert (frame 3), assuming their stomachs were not full by then, the Hall of Fame cueists could decide on sticky toffee pudding with custard/ice cream or cheesecake.&lt;/p&gt;
  14878.  
  14879.  
  14880.  
  14881. &lt;p&gt;The final frame was a cheese board and by the time that was plonked on the table, everyone was well and truly into the swing of things.&lt;/p&gt;
  14882.  
  14883.  
  14884.  
  14885. &lt;p&gt;Popular Taylor, 76, was one of the last men standing come 11pm and it is incredible that Northern Ireland’s 1985 world champion still has the capacity to drink and stay out later than men half his age.&lt;/p&gt;
  14886.  
  14887.  
  14888.  
  14889. &lt;p&gt;Eight other world champions – Luca Brecel, Graeme Dott, John Higgins, Joe Johnson, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Mark Selby, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/judd-trump/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Judd Trump&lt;/a&gt; and Mark Williams – decided not to attend.&lt;/p&gt;

  14934.  
  14935.  
  14936.  
  14937. &lt;p&gt;The event was the brainchild of Neil Tomkins, player relations manager at the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA).&lt;/p&gt;
  14938.  
  14939.  
  14940.  
  14941. &lt;p&gt;And it was heavily influenced by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-masters/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Masters&lt;/a&gt;, who invite all former Green Jacket winners to Augusta in the days before the start of their annual golf Slam.&lt;/p&gt;

  14957. &lt;p&gt;McCain Bespoke London created special jackets which had the world championship trophy on the lapels. On this occasion the jackets were black, instead of the iconic green awarded to winners of the Masters.&lt;/p&gt;

  14970.  
  14971.

  15047.  
  15048. &lt;p&gt;JOHN HIGGINS’ participation at this year’s World Championship is in doubt after his wife’s dad had a heart attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  15049.  
  15050.  
  15051.  
  15052. &lt;p&gt;The four-time world champion, 49, accepted an invitation to the inaugural Masters-style Champions’ Dinner, hosted by current champion Kyren Wilson on Thursday night.&lt;/p&gt;
  15053.  
  15054.

  15057.  
  15058.  
  15059.  
  15060. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34540610&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.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/john-higgins-scotland-poses-trophy-985349526_7601f4.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;John Higgins of Scotland holding a trophy after winning a snooker match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34540610&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;He won the Tour Championship earlier this month[/caption]
  15061.  
  15062.  
  15063.  
  15064. &lt;p&gt;But he missed the evening, which was attended by the likes of Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis, after Denise’s father was rushed to &lt;span id=&quot;bcb306d1-fdfc-4b7f-a0a8-a4fb742fc29f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hospital&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15065.  
  15066.  
  15067.  
  15068. &lt;p&gt;The Wizard of Wishaw also understandably missed yesterday’s Green Carpet ceremony and pre-event media day as he stayed in &lt;span id=&quot;2487ce82-b76c-4571-93eb-712c768d6446&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/span&gt; to be by his family’s side at this distressing time.&lt;/p&gt;
  15069.  
  15070.  
  15071.  
  15072. &lt;p&gt;Higgins is one of the favourites for this year’s &lt;span id=&quot;8815fbde-7070-4d30-b832-8441d5da45d7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;championship&lt;/span&gt; and heads to &lt;span id=&quot;46897b98-87c8-49b6-aea1-363dcc8ee31f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Sheffield&lt;/span&gt; in cracking form having won two of the three &lt;span id=&quot;0e376d18-116e-481e-9f65-42c44afe0672&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;events&lt;/span&gt; before the showpiece.&lt;/p&gt;
  15073.  
  15074.  
  15075.  
  15076. &lt;p&gt;The Scottish legend is bidding to become the oldest world champion in &lt;span id=&quot;59f6c047-549c-471d-a357-b6b8928861c1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;history&lt;/span&gt; and is scheduled to kick off his Crucible challenge against tenacious qualifier Joe O’Connor on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
  15077.  
  15078.  
  15079.  
  15080. &lt;p&gt;Last year, Higgins admitted it could be his last ever Crucible with his status in the sport’s elite top 16 in doubt.&lt;/p&gt;
  15081.  
  15082.  
  15083.  
  15084. &lt;p&gt;But the resurgent Scot is back among the genuine contenders after he returned to &lt;span id=&quot;c0abb79a-dcbc-41c2-a28a-5d5886b00acf&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;snooker&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8216;s winners’ enclosure with a bang.&lt;/p&gt;
  15085.  
  15086.  
  15087.  
  15088. &lt;p&gt;And asked if he has the belief he could once again conquer the Crucible, third seed Higgins replied: “Never stop believing, never stop believing.&lt;/p&gt;
  15089.  
  15090.  
  15091.  
  15092. &lt;p&gt;“It will be &lt;span id=&quot;fcd24046-f225-440f-8967-b83373ea7b7f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; going back to the Crucible with more self belief.&lt;/p&gt;
  15093.  
  15094.  
  15095.  
  15096. &lt;p&gt;“It shows you how quickly things can turn around. It shows you that you should never lose belief in yourself or the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  15097.  
  15098.  
  15099.  
  15100. &lt;p&gt;“There are always sunnier days ahead.&lt;/p&gt;

  15125.  
  15126.  
  15127.  
  15128. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve not had that in the last couple of years so you’ve got that behind you from the get go.&lt;/p&gt;
  15129.  
  15130.  
  15131.  
  15132. &lt;p&gt;“This year will be the first time in four long years where I’ve gone as a champion and tasted what it’s like to win.&lt;/p&gt;
  15133.  
  15134.  
  15135.  
  15136. &lt;p&gt;“I’ll be going there in a good frame of mind.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15137.  
  15138.  
  15139.  
  15140. &lt;p&gt;Higgins is renowned as one of the toughest competitors we have ever seen on the baize.&lt;/p&gt;
  15141.  
  15142.  
  15143.  
  15144. &lt;p&gt;The 33-time ranking-event champion could easily have ridden off into the sunset with his legacy secured years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  15145.  
  15146.  
  15147.  
  15148. &lt;p&gt;But a burning desire to compete with the best players in the world and taste the sweet success of silverware once again kept him coming back for more.&lt;/p&gt;
  15149.  
  15150.  
  15151.  
  15152. &lt;p&gt;Higgins bravely clawed himself off the canvas many times in recent years, which the great champions always do.&lt;/p&gt;
  15153.  
  15154.  
  15155.  
  15156. &lt;p&gt;There were the three heartbreaking Crucible final defeats between 2017-2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  15157.  
  15158.  
  15159.  
  15160. &lt;p&gt;Doubts over whether he would ever win another title began to creep in as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  15161.  
  15162.  
  15163.  
  15164. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/RF-GRAPHIC-STEPHEN-HENDRY.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=896&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31933556&quot; width=&quot;896&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;
  15165.  
  15166.  
  15167.  
  15168. &lt;p&gt;But he ended a painful four-year wait for ranking glory at last month&amp;#8217;s World Open in &lt;span id=&quot;37a136b9-8a6a-4169-8e75-0ca9655f42e6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;China&lt;/span&gt; and backed that up by winning the big 12-man Tour Championship on the eve of his Crucible charge.&lt;/p&gt;
  15169.  
  15170.  
  15171.  
  15172. &lt;p&gt;Reflecting on recent years, Higgins added: “I’ve been through a lot of tough times that a lot of players do in this game.&lt;/p&gt;
  15173.  
  15174.  
  15175.  
  15176. &lt;p&gt;“There have been some tough times the last few years, so when you’re winning it’s a great feeling.&lt;/p&gt;
  15177.  
  15178.  
  15179.  
  15180. &lt;p&gt;“I had a spell where I wasn’t getting over the winning line in matches and that was hard.&lt;/p&gt;
  15181.  
  15182.  
  15183.  
  15184. &lt;p&gt;“Winning in Yushan gave me a lot of confidence. I won a couple of tough games when I was over there, coming from behind and deciders and things.&lt;/p&gt;
  15185.  
  15186.  
  15187.  
  15188. &lt;p&gt;“That’s given me the belief in my game and that I have the fighting qualities to still do it at the top level.&lt;/p&gt;
  15189.  
  15190.  
  15191.  
  15192. &lt;p&gt;“I just have a &lt;span id=&quot;46cc14dd-f95c-44c1-adcb-adceddc871bc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;fight&lt;/span&gt; and belief inside me that I want to compete with the best players in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  15193.  
  15194.  
  15195.  
  15196. &lt;p&gt;“I&amp;#8217;ve said it before that when that goes you’ve got no chance. Whilst I’ve still got that fight I’ll keep on going.”&lt;/p&gt;

  15348.  
  15349. &lt;p&gt;After slimming down from a size 20 to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/body-shapes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;size 14&lt;/a&gt;, Foxy gave her followers a close-up look at her neck and said: “Three things I&amp;#8217;ve noticed about my neck area since I&amp;#8217;ve lost almost 100 lbs.&lt;/p&gt;
  15350.  
  15351.  
  15352.  
  15353. &lt;p&gt;“The good is the appearance of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/11091547/shocking-social-media-craze-women-balancing-lipsticks-collarbones-skinny/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;collarbones&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;

  15361. &lt;p&gt;Despite the emergence of collarbones, pointing to the lines on her neck, Foxy added: “The weird &amp;#8211; you see these two faint lines &amp;#8211; they used to be at the base of my neck and so obviously, as the fat from underneath them has disappeared, they&amp;#8217;ve changed position.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15362.  
  15363.  
  15364.  
  15365. &lt;p&gt;As well as this, Foxy admitted: “The worst &amp;#8211; at certain angles and in certain lights, you can see a bit of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/26760179/sick-turkey-neck-wrinkle-free-overnight-patches/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;turkey neck&lt;/a&gt; forming.”&lt;/p&gt;

  15383. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  15384. Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. &lt;/p&gt;
  15386. &lt;div&gt;
  15387. &lt;p&gt;Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  15388. &lt;p&gt;Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. &lt;/p&gt;
  15389. &lt;p&gt;Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15390. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do they work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15391. &lt;p&gt;The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight.&lt;/p&gt;
  15392. &lt;p&gt;They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists.&lt;/p&gt;
  15393. &lt;p&gt;They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients&amp;#8217; sugar levels are too high.&lt;/p&gt;
  15394. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I get them?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15395. &lt;p&gt;NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics.&lt;/p&gt;
  15396. &lt;p&gt;Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure.&lt;/p&gt;
  15397. &lt;p&gt;GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  15398. &lt;p&gt;Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk.&lt;/p&gt;
  15399. &lt;p&gt;Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health.&lt;/p&gt;
  15400. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are there any risks?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15401. &lt;p&gt;Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild.&lt;/p&gt;
  15402. &lt;p&gt;Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea.&lt;/p&gt;
  15403. &lt;p&gt;Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at patient.info, said: “One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15404. &lt;p&gt;Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia.&lt;/p&gt;
  15405. &lt;p&gt;Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients&amp;#8217; mental health.&lt;/p&gt;
  15406. &lt;p&gt;Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines.&lt;/p&gt;
  15407. &lt;/div&gt;
  15408. &lt;/div&gt;

  15462. Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects. &lt;/p&gt;
  15464. &lt;div&gt;
  15465. &lt;p&gt;Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include: &lt;/p&gt;
  15466. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nausea&lt;/strong&gt;: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts.&lt;/p&gt;
  15467. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vomiting&lt;/strong&gt;: Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea.&lt;/p&gt;
  15468. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diarrhea&lt;/strong&gt;: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset.&lt;/p&gt;
  15469. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Constipation&lt;/strong&gt;: Some individuals may also experience constipation.&lt;/p&gt;
  15470. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stomach pain or discomfort&lt;/strong&gt;: Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort.&lt;/p&gt;
  15471. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reduced appetite&lt;/strong&gt;: This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  15472. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indigestion&lt;/strong&gt;: Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating.&lt;/p&gt;
  15473. &lt;p&gt;Serious side effects can also include:&lt;/p&gt;
  15474. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pancreatitis&lt;/strong&gt;: In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.&lt;/p&gt;
  15475. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kidney problems&lt;/strong&gt;: There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon.&lt;/p&gt;
  15476. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thyroid tumors&lt;/strong&gt;: There’s a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic.&lt;/p&gt;
  15477. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vision problems&lt;/strong&gt;: Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic.&lt;/p&gt;
  15478. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)&lt;/strong&gt;: Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin.&lt;/p&gt;
  15479. &lt;/div&gt;

I’m going to get &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/25730345/lemon-bottle-fat-dissolving-injections-crisis-point/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;lemon bottle&lt;/a&gt; when I&amp;#8217;ve lost a bit more.” &lt;/p&gt;
  15487.  
  15488.  
  15489.  
  15490. &lt;p&gt;A third commented: “Totally get that, I’m 54lbs down and in my mid 50’s so battling with turkey neck and under arms but everywhere else skin is still pretty tight.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15491.  
  15492.  
  15493.  
  15494. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “I lost about 60lbs on Mounjaro and have the neck thing. Only negative thing to be fair but it is annoying.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15495.  
  15496.  
  15497.  
  15498. &lt;p&gt;At the same time, another explained: “I’m old and have lost on Mounjaro &amp;#8211; my turkey neck is traumatic!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  15546.  
  15547. &lt;p&gt;THE NHS&amp;#8217;s top cancer doctor has revealed 18 cancer symptoms everyone should know, after a survey found that a worrying number of Brits wouldn&amp;#8217;t be able to spot red flag signs of the killer disease. &lt;/p&gt;
  15548.  
  15549.  
  15550.  
  15551. &lt;p&gt;A new&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;survey of 2,000 Brits tested people&amp;#8217;s knowledge of common cancer symptoms. &lt;/p&gt;
  15552.  
  15553.  
  15554.  
  15555. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34538492&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/2025/04/buenos-aires-argentina-888874901.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Doctor examining patient's moles with magnifying glass.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34538492&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;A change to an existing mole could be a sign of skin cancer[/caption]
  15556.  
  15557.  
  15558.  
  15559. &lt;p&gt;Most respondents had no idea that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/33074909/oesophageal-cancer-symptoms-heartburn-burping-dinner/&quot;&gt;heartburn and indigestion&lt;/a&gt; lasting three weeks or more was something to be worried about, as just 21 per cent recognised it as a possible sign of cancer. &lt;/p&gt;
  15560.  
  15561.  
  15562.  
  15563. &lt;p&gt;More than half (55 per cent) didn&amp;#8217;t know that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/17462139/cancer-sign-in-urine/&quot;&gt;blood in your wee&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; even if it just happens once &amp;#8211; could be a sign of disease. &lt;/p&gt;
  15564.  
  15565.  
  15566.  
  15567. &lt;p&gt;Almost half (49 per cent) didn&amp;#8217;t recognise unexplained weight loss as a symptom, and more than four in 10 people (42 per cent) didn&amp;#8217;t flag an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/30983817/mum-riddled-tumours-doctors-dismissed-lump-years-sarcoma/&quot;&gt;unexplained lump anywhere on the body&lt;/a&gt; as a potential sign of cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15568.  
  15569.  
  15570.  
  15571. &lt;p&gt;The NHS advises people to regularly check for any new lumps or unexpected changes in the body to help identify any possible symptoms of cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15572.  
  15573.  
  15574.  
  15575. &lt;p&gt;But the survey found that only four in 10 (39 per cent) Brits look for changes to their bodies at least once every three weeks. &lt;/p&gt;
  15576.  
  15577.  
  15578.  
  15579. &lt;p&gt;In fact, respondents were more likely to check their bank balance, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather-2/&quot;&gt;weather&lt;/a&gt; forecast or sports results than give their body a once over for worrying changes. &lt;/p&gt;
  15580.  
  15581.  
  15582.  
  15583. &lt;p&gt;While most bodily changes are unlikely to be cancer, it’s important to get any new or worrying symptoms checked out by a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp/&quot;&gt;GP&lt;/a&gt; as soon as possible so they can help rule cancer out.&lt;/p&gt;
  15584.  
  15585.  
  15586.  
  15587. &lt;p&gt;Finding cancer early means it’s easier to treat.&lt;/p&gt;
  15588.  
  15589.  
  15590.  
  15591. &lt;p&gt;More than 400,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK, according to &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.macmillan.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do/research/cancer-statistics-fact-sheet&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Macmillan Cancer Support&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  15592.  
  15593.  
  15594.  
  15595. &lt;p&gt;Breast and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prostate-cancer/&quot;&gt;prostate cancer&lt;/a&gt; tend to be the most common forms of the disease, followed by lung, bowel and melanoma &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/skin-cancer/&quot;&gt;skin cancer&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  15702.

  15706.  
  15707.  
  15708.  
  15709. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Professor Peter Johnson, national NHS cancer director said:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8220;It is so important to know what is normal for you, although we all find a host of other things to think about rather than checking for any changes in our bodies.&lt;/p&gt;
  15710.  
  15711.  
  15712.  
  15713. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s why I want to encourage everyone to make it a part of your routine &amp;#8211; finding a way that works for you might just save your life.&lt;/p&gt;
  15714.  
  15715.  
  15716.  
  15717. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you do spot something worrying, get in touch with your GP surgery, who can investigate for you. &lt;/p&gt;
  15718.  
  15719.  
  15720.  
  15721. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s unlikely to be cancer, but if there is something wrong, the earlier it is found, the better the chance of treatment being successful.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15722.  
  15723.  
  15724.  
  15725. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/32404543/free-nhs-cancer-checks-thousands-miss-lifesaving-tests/&quot;&gt;NHS offers life-saving free screening for cancer&lt;/a&gt; to millions of Brits, especially those who may be at higher risk as a result of hereditary or lifestyle factors.&lt;/p&gt;
  15726.  
  15727.  
  15728.  
  15729. &lt;p&gt;This includes the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/33549199/smokers-invited-free-nhs-lung-cancer-screening-eligible/&quot;&gt;lung cancer screening programme&lt;/a&gt; and liver health programmes which see hi-tech mobile scanning trucks and vans go to shopping centres and supermarket car parks and offer checks to people at increased risk. &lt;/p&gt;
  15730.  
  15731.  
  15732.  
  15733. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;You know your body best&amp;#8217; &lt;/h2&gt;

  15736.  
  15737. &lt;p&gt;Rob McPherson, an amateur &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; player from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt;, experienced stomach pain, diarrhoea and nausea. &lt;/p&gt;
  15738.  
  15739.  
  15740.  
  15741. &lt;p&gt;He was diagnosed with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bowel-cancer/&quot;&gt;bowel cancer&lt;/a&gt; and underwent treatment in 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  15742.  
  15743.  
  15744.  
  15745. &lt;p&gt;Rob was able to return to playing football months later and urged people to get checked if they don’t feel right.&lt;/p&gt;
  15746.  
  15747.  
  15748.  
  15749. &lt;p&gt;Rob said “As a bowel cancer &lt;span id=&quot;849bca38-951d-45cf-a58f-9c590c36bebc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;survivor&lt;/span&gt;, I would encourage everyone to contact your GP if you notice any unusual changes to your body – for me, it was having persistent stomach troubles for well over three weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  15750.  
  15751.  
  15752.  
  15753. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My story shows that cancer can affect anyone no matter how active you are, and you should never put off getting checked if you feel that something isn’t right.&lt;/p&gt;
  15754.  
  15755.  
  15756.  
  15757. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Remember, you know your body best, so pay attention to any warning signs and get checked as soon as possible if you’re concerned.&lt;/p&gt;
  15758.  
  15759.  
  15760.  
  15761. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  15762. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  15763. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Cancer screenings in England &lt;/h3&gt;
  15764. &lt;/div&gt;
  15765. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  15767. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  15768. CATCHING cancer early gives you the best chance of survival, and a huge part of that is attending regular screenings. &lt;/p&gt;
  15770. &lt;div&gt;
  15771. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs-crisis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; programmes can help diagnose the disease, or your risk of it, and improve the likelihood of successful &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/26864928/types-of-cancer-treatment-chemotherapy-radiotherapy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;treatment&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15772. &lt;p&gt;There are three national screening programmes in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/england/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt;: cervical screening, breast screening and bowel screening.&lt;/p&gt;
  15773. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you are eligible, please make every effort to have your screening test as they can detect a problem early, before you have any symptoms. ,&amp;#8221; the NHS says.&lt;/p&gt;
  15774. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Finding out about a problem early can mean that treatment is more effective.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15775. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cervical screening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15776. &lt;p&gt;This is offered in England to people with a cervix aged 25 to 64 and is routinely carried out every three years up to the age of 49, and every five from 50 to 64.&lt;/p&gt;
  15777. &lt;p&gt;Depending on the result, people may be recalled earlier. &lt;/p&gt;
  15778. &lt;p&gt;During a cervical screening, samples are tested for high risk &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/27938509/hpv-jab-cervical-cancer-eradicate-lifetime/&quot;&gt;Human Papillomavirus&lt;/a&gt; (HPV), which causes nearly all &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cervical-cancer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cervical cancers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15779. &lt;p&gt;Those that test positive are then analysed further. &lt;/p&gt;
  15780. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Breast screening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15781. &lt;p&gt;Breast screenings, which involve an X-ray test called a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/22817560/breast-cancer-screening-mammogram-age-lowered/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;mammogram&lt;/a&gt; that can spot &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cancer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cancers&lt;/a&gt; when they are too small to see or feel, are usually offered to women aged 50 to 71 in England.&lt;/p&gt;
  15782. &lt;p&gt;But the NHS is trialling them for women under 50 if they have a high risk of developing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/breast-cancer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;breast cancer&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  15783. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bowel screening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15784. &lt;p&gt;This test detects whether patients are showing any early signs of cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15785. &lt;p&gt;It is available to everyone aged 50 to 74, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/23397495/nhs-bowel-cancer-screening-prevents-thousands-cases-england/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;at-home kits&lt;/a&gt; automatically sent out every two years, so make sure your GP has your correct address.&lt;/p&gt;
  15786. &lt;p&gt;The test involves providing a small poo sample to be checked for tiny amounts of blood, which could be caused by cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15787. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re 75 or over, you can ask for a kit every two years by phoning the free bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 60 60.&lt;/p&gt;
  15788. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Source: NHS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15789. &lt;/div&gt;
  15790. &lt;/div&gt;
  15791. &lt;/div&gt;
  15793.  
  15794.  
  15795.  
  15796. &lt;p&gt;Sam Ritchie, an A&amp;amp;E operations manager and single mum of two, noticed a &lt;span id=&quot;5b07e68a-3639-4066-9df2-a0773262712a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/span&gt; rash on her breast in the autumn of 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  15797.  
  15798.  
  15799.  
  15800. &lt;p&gt;Sensing that something wasn’t right, she went to see her GP who referred her to a one-stop-breast clinic.&lt;/p&gt;
  15801.  
  15802.  
  15803.  
  15804. &lt;p&gt;Scans revealed a lump behind her nipple and she was diagnosed with stage three &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/breast-cancer/&quot;&gt;breast cancer&lt;/a&gt; in October that year. &lt;/p&gt;
  15805.  
  15806.  
  15807.  
  15808. &lt;p&gt;The mum began chemotherapy within a matter of months and underwent surgery to remove the tumour in June.&lt;/p&gt;
  15809.  
  15810.  
  15811.  
  15812. &lt;p&gt;By July, she got the ‘all clear’.&lt;/p&gt;
  15813.  
  15814.  
  15815.  
  15816. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Being diagnosed with breast cancer came as a huge shock to me.&lt;/p&gt;
  15817.  
  15818.  
  15819.  
  15820. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;However, I am so glad I listened to my body when I felt something wasn’t right and acted quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
  15821.  
  15822.  
  15823.  
  15824. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’d urge everyone to not put off getting help if something in your body doesn’t feel right and to contact your GP practice as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  15825.  
  15826.  
  15827.  
  15828. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Don’t be afraid to come forward and get the help you need!”&lt;/p&gt;

  15876. &lt;p&gt;BBC Breakfast viewers noticed an awkward moment where Naga Munchetty shot an &amp;#8216;unimpressed&amp;#8217; stare at co-star Charlie Stayt.&lt;/p&gt;
  15877.  
  15878.  
  15879.

  15889.  
  15890.  
  15891.  
  15892. &lt;p&gt;Some viewers noticed a moment where Naga appeared seemingly &amp;#8220;unimpressed&amp;#8221; with her colleague.&lt;/p&gt;
  15893.  
  15894.  
  15895.  
  15896. &lt;p&gt;They were discussing Jamaican Olympic sprinter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/shelly-ann-fraser-pryce/&quot;&gt;Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; described as the third fastest woman in &lt;span id=&quot;77f05ad0-057d-4a47-8b95-66959390dc00&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;history&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15897.  
  15898.  
  15899.  
  15900. &lt;p&gt;The 38-year-old appeared in a video of the &amp;#8220;parents&amp;#8217; &lt;span id=&quot;5b2bc776-0d6a-4092-93e9-958711636102&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;race&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8221; at her children&amp;#8217;s sports day &amp;#8211; and dominated the competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  15901.  
  15902.  
  15903.  
  15904. &lt;p&gt;Speaking afterwards, Charlie said: &amp;#8220;The wonderful thing about that, apart from the fact that she&amp;#8217;s completely uncompromising in any way &amp;#8211; everyone wins.&lt;/p&gt;
  15905.  
  15906.  
  15907.  
  15908. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All the other parents get to enjoy the moment where she was there and they tried to &lt;span id=&quot;0414093b-6f13-47a5-b19d-5c2fe540ae40&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;race&lt;/span&gt; against her.&lt;/p&gt;
  15909.  
  15910.  
  15911.  
  15912. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It reminds me slightly of when &lt;span id=&quot;76f1b3d2-f06e-454f-bdad-c05f530841bf&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Mike Bushell&lt;/span&gt; endeavoured to take on a real &lt;span id=&quot;b76b494a-f8cf-43a1-b796-f42c1231d094&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;race&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#8211; a 60m indoor spint &lt;span id=&quot;22eb51d5-3dd4-415d-ab31-acf0a1fa568c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;race&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15913.  
  15914.  
  15915.  
  15916. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remember it vividly &amp;#8211; Mike, good luck to him, tried to&amp;#8230; these were proper athletes in a proper &lt;span id=&quot;2e0aa3cb-eea0-4875-8ade-1e32e562d9ab&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;race&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15917.  
  15918.  
  15919.  
  15920. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;About 20 metres in, they were so far ahead of him. You just don&amp;#8217;t see ordinary people against those superhumans very often.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15921.  
  15922.  
  15923.  
  15924. &lt;p&gt;One viewer sarcastically quipped on X: &amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;As ever Naga looking impressed with Charlie’s mansplaining of the trivial &lt;span id=&quot;eb2e1d5b-959a-42c5-87cc-d8cbfc5ac29c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; item slot.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;#BBCBreakfast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15925.  
  15926.  
  15927.  
  15928. &lt;p&gt;Addressing a different moment, another fan shared: &amp;#8220;Naga being awkward as possible towards the Trading Standards lady.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  16041.  
  16042.  
  16043.  
  16044. &lt;p&gt;The supermarket is selling a giant &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34536691/bunny-easter-puzzle-genius-test/&quot;&gt;bunny&lt;/a&gt; for just £5 that could make their little one’s day on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;

  16053.  
  16054.  
  16055.  
  16056. &lt;p&gt;The large grey plush toy has an adorable gingham design on the ears, and could be the perfect &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34468949/sun-savers-easter-egg-money-tips/&quot;&gt;Easter gift.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16057.  
  16058.  
  16059.  
  16060. &lt;p&gt;A shopper took to the Facebook group &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUK/posts/2542755159471100&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK&lt;/a&gt; and shared how they had snapped up two for their kids.&lt;/p&gt;
  16061.  
  16062.  
  16063.  
  16064. &lt;p&gt;They wrote: “Massive bunny&amp;#8217;s reduced to £5 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/morrisons/&quot;&gt;Morrisons&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16065.  
  16066.  
  16067.  
  16068. &lt;p&gt;To complete their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/34472654/major-retailer-slashes-lindt-easter-egg/&quot;&gt;Easter gift&lt;/a&gt;, they had added two &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34424498/taste-test-kids-easter-eggs-kinder-cadbury-milkybar/&quot;&gt;Milky Bar eggs&lt;/a&gt; at each bunny’s feet.&lt;/p&gt;
  16069.  
  16070.  
  16071.  
  16072. &lt;p&gt;Hundreds of people have liked the post and seemed keen to get hold of the stuffed toy for their own families.&lt;/p&gt;
  16073.  
  16074.  
  16075.  
  16076. &lt;p&gt;One person uploaded a photo of the bunny sitting on their sofa at home, and wrote: “Got mine yesterday.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16077.  
  16078.  
  16079.  
  16080. &lt;p&gt;Another showed how they had even bought one for their dog, and showed their pooch curled up &lt;span id=&quot;682da05f-c355-4214-8831-0f8a7ea785ef&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; to it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16081.  
  16082.  
  16083.  
  16084. &lt;p&gt;One shopper commented: “These are cute.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16085.  
  16086.  
  16087.  
  16088. &lt;p&gt;A second added: “Had quite a few in my Morrisons.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16089.  
  16090.  
  16091.  
  16092. &lt;p&gt;However, one person shared: “They didn’t have any left at my Morrisons gutted.”&lt;/p&gt;

  16116. &lt;p&gt;It’s not the only Easter item at Morrisons that has caused a stir.&lt;/p&gt;
  16117.  
  16118.  
  16119.  
  16120. &lt;p&gt;We shared how people have been scrambling to their nearest store to &lt;span id=&quot;34fc6134-b6e9-49cc-a9fd-c43b83f410d4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;snap&lt;/span&gt; up an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34471269/morrisons-easter-bunny-chicken-inflatable-shopping-sale/&quot;&gt;adorable light-up Easter buy&lt;/a&gt; that&amp;#8217;s slashed to £5.&lt;/p&gt;
  16121.  
  16122.  
  16123.  
  16124. &lt;p&gt;The popular supermarket has sent its fans into a frenzy after cutting the price of Easter-themed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34373685/aldi-launches-garden-specialbuys-solar-lights-spring/&quot;&gt;garden buys&lt;/a&gt; from £20 to just a fiver.&lt;/p&gt;
  16125.  
  16126.  
  16127.  
  16128. &lt;p&gt;Bargain-mad Brits can now decorate their outdoor space &amp;#8211; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes/&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; with fabulous inflatables for a whopping four times less.&lt;/p&gt;

  16141.  
  16142.  
  16143.  
  16144. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34470287/lindor-strawberries-cream-chocolate-asda-offer-box/&quot;&gt;shoppers&lt;/a&gt;, there are two options to choose from &amp;#8211; an inflatable Easter bunny or a &lt;span id=&quot;9bc5bb76-d073-45e9-9382-aa64192cad0c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;spring&lt;/span&gt; chicken, both ornamented with a cute bow.&lt;/p&gt;
  16145.  
  16146.  
  16147.  
  16148. &lt;p&gt;What&amp;#8217;s more, not only is the plug-in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34144090/easter-decorations-lidl-lights-candle-wreath-bonnet/&quot;&gt;Easter decor&lt;/a&gt; too adorable to miss out on, shoppers also claim it also won&amp;#8217;t leave you with a hefty &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31629574/save-energy-bills-tricks-radiator-heating-curtains/&quot;&gt;electricity bill&lt;/a&gt; at the end of the month.&lt;/p&gt;
  16149.  
  16150.  
  16151.  
  16152. &lt;p&gt;One customer, Kimberly Woods, from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/suffolk/&quot;&gt;Suffolk&lt;/a&gt;, said: &amp;#8221;I&amp;#8217;ve got 3 plugged in outside mine and barely notice the difference and I have mine on between 7am and 9pm every day.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16153.  
  16154.  
  16155.  
  16156. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  16158. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;How to save at Morrisons&lt;/h3&gt;
  16159. &lt;/div&gt;
  16160. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  16163. &lt;div&gt;
  16164. &lt;p&gt;Buying a delivery pass can slash the cost of shopping online if you&amp;#8217;re a Morrisons regular.&lt;/p&gt;
  16165. &lt;p&gt;You also get priorities for Christmas delivery slots.&lt;/p&gt;
  16166. &lt;p&gt;How much it costs depends on which you get anytime or mid-week, and if it&amp;#8217;s for the year, six-months or monthly.&lt;/p&gt;
  16167. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll need to work out the cost compared to how much you spend on delivery without one to see if it&amp;#8217;s worthwhile.&lt;/p&gt;
  16168. &lt;p&gt;Morrisons does a range of wonky veg that can work out cheaper than  the main range.&lt;/p&gt;
  16169. &lt;p&gt;Check websites like Quidco and TopCashback BEFORE you place your order. &lt;/p&gt;
  16170. &lt;p&gt;Cashback websites PAY you to shop. All you have to do is click through their links and the money is added to your online account.&lt;/p&gt;
  16171. &lt;p&gt;Search for discount codes on websites like MyVoucherCodes.co.uk and VoucherCodes.co.uk to see if you can get money off at the till.&lt;/p&gt;
  16172. &lt;p&gt;Follow your favourite shops on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and sign up to its deals newsletter to get the latest on any offers. We post the best deals in our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/TheSunMoney/&quot;&gt;Sun Money FB group&lt;/a&gt; too.&lt;/p&gt;
  16173. &lt;p&gt;Try switching all of your branded or premium goods for lower level ones and see if you notice the difference.&lt;/p&gt;
  16174. &lt;p&gt;Morrisons regularly adds new products to its &amp;#8216;own-brand &amp;#8220;savers&amp;#8221; range.&lt;/p&gt;
  16175. &lt;p&gt;This is its value range where prices start from as little as 20p.&lt;/p&gt;
  16176. &lt;p&gt;It includes all sorts of products including peas, spaghetti, marmalade, jaffa cakes and washing up liquid.&lt;/p&gt;
  16177. &lt;p&gt;Swap your usual items for savers alternatives and see if you can tell the difference.&lt;/p&gt;
  16178. &lt;p&gt;Shoppers can earn points with the More Than loyalty scheme when they spend online or in store. &lt;/p&gt;
  16179. &lt;p&gt;How many points you earn will depend on the offers available at the time, plus you get five points for every litre of fuel at Morrisons petrol stations.&lt;/p&gt;
  16180. &lt;p&gt;Reach  5,000 points and you get £5 off your shopping, plus there are other offers and coupons and the checkout and via the app.&lt;/p&gt;
  16181. &lt;p&gt;Shoppers also get cheaper prices that are just for members.&lt;/p&gt;
  16182. &lt;/div&gt;
  16183. &lt;/div&gt;

  16228. &lt;p&gt;MANCHESTER United have paid tribute to former footballer Joe Thompson, who has sadly passed away from cancer at the age of 36.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16229.  
  16230.  
  16231.  
  16232. &lt;p&gt;The club offered their heartfelt support to his family, stating that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34536752/joe-thompson-dead-footballer-rochdale-man-utd/&quot;&gt;their thoughts are very much with them&lt;/a&gt; during this incredibly difficult time. Here’s what we know about his wife, Chantelle Perry, and their children.&lt;/p&gt;

  16237.  
  16238.  
  16239.  
  16240. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Who is Joe Thompson’s wife, Chantelle Perry?&lt;/h2&gt;
  16241.  
  16242.  
  16243.  
  16244. &lt;p&gt;Chantelle Perry is the wife of former English professional footballer, Joe Thompson.&lt;/p&gt;
  16245.  
  16246.  
  16247.  
  16248. &lt;p&gt;The pair married in 2016 after dating for a long time.&lt;/p&gt;
  16249.  
  16250.  
  16251.  
  16252. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6220157/rochdale-joe-thompson-cancer-league-one-survival/&quot;&gt;ex-Rochdale player&lt;/a&gt;, who &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8572196/joe-thompson-cancer-rochdale-public-speaking/&quot;&gt;retired at the age of 29&lt;/a&gt; in 2019, faced an uphill battle with his health.&lt;/p&gt;
  16253.  
  16254.  
  16255.  
  16256. &lt;p&gt;He was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27274204/man-utd-joe-thompson-cancer-diagnosis-third-time/&quot;&gt;diagnosed with cancer for a third time in 2024&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16257.  
  16258.  
  16259.  
  16260. &lt;p&gt;In a tribute to her husband, who died on April 17, 2025, Chantelle wrote on Instagram: “Our brave and courageous Joey passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning, he was at home where he wanted to be in a beautiful peaceful setting surrounding by his family when he transitioned. &lt;/p&gt;
  16261.  
  16262.  
  16263.  
  16264. &lt;p&gt;“Joe has made such an impact on so many people and we are all forever grateful for him blessing us with his presence and for being so strong and staying with us as long as he did against all the odds.&lt;/p&gt;
  16265.  
  16266.  
  16267.  
  16268. &lt;p&gt;“He was the most Incredible husband,son,brother,friend &amp;amp; father to our beautiful daughters who will now carry his light and legacy on and I will continue to keep filling them up with Joes love every single day.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16269.  
  16270.  
  16271.  
  16272. &lt;p&gt;Chantelle added: “It’s been a long battle, and one that he fought with all his might and he did things HIS way!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16273.  
  16274.  
  16275.  
  16276. &lt;p&gt;“He choose his path and walked every step with courage and pride growing closer and closer to god each day whilst still being there for so many others.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16277.  
  16278.  
  16279.  
  16280. &lt;p&gt;“He held on to his plans for the future to continue that legacy but It’s now time for him to rest up and watch over us from heaven.&lt;/p&gt;

  16305.  
  16306.  
  16307.  
  16308. &lt;p&gt;Chantelle herself is a beauty entrepreneur and set up the Perriee Spa back in 2015 in Prestwich.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16309.  
  16310.  
  16311.  
  16312. &lt;p&gt;By then, she’d already been styling hair for 13 years and had spent the last decade perfecting her own techniques for fitting hair extensions.&lt;/p&gt;
  16313.  
  16314.  
  16315.  
  16316. &lt;p&gt;According to Company House, she still holds a number of senior roles in her beauty businesses, however, she generally keeps a low profile.&lt;/p&gt;
  16317.  
  16318.  
  16319.  
  16320. &lt;p&gt;She was just 27 when Joe was first diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in 2013, while he was playing for Tranmere.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16321.  
  16322.  
  16323.  
  16324. &lt;p&gt;He was given the all-clear a year later, but sadly had to face the disease again in 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  16325.  
  16326.  
  16327.

  16329.  
  16330.  
  16331.  
  16332. &lt;p&gt;Speaking in 2019, Joe said he owed so much to Chantelle and their family for standing by him through it all.&lt;/p&gt;
  16333.  
  16334.  
  16335.  
  16336. &lt;p&gt;He told the Liverpool Echo: “I owe it to my body and also to my family who have all seen me go through hell on more than one occasion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16337.  
  16338.  
  16339.

  16341.  
  16342.  
  16343.  
  16344. &lt;p&gt;Joe said: “It&amp;#8217;s definitely going to be a challenge and of course I get really down some days but what I need is people around me to take my mind off it because if I&amp;#8217;m on my own for too long I just think about everything too much.&lt;/p&gt;

  16362.  
  16363.  
  16364.  
  16365. &lt;p&gt;“As a family we&amp;#8217;re all really close. On the day I was told I had cancer my daughter just instinctively knew there was something up and she wouldn&amp;#8217;t stop crying. It was so strange because the moment the doctor told us she knew something was wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  16366.  
  16367.  
  16368.  
  16369. &lt;p&gt;“I guess she just knew there was a twinkle in daddy&amp;#8217;s eye which wasn&amp;#8217;t there anymore. We all slept crammed on the sofa together that night because Lula wouldn&amp;#8217;t settle and she usually goes to sleep like clockwork.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;

  16374.  
  16375.  
  16376.  
  16377. &lt;p&gt;The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Thailula-Lily, in September 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
  16378.  
  16379.  
  16380.

  16382.  
  16383.  
  16384.  
  16385. &lt;p&gt;While saying his statement about his cancer returning, he described his wife and daughter, saying: &amp;#8220;I would like to thank my wife, Chantelle, who was my rock in my first encounter and will once again be by my side with the same encouragement, discipline and strength.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16386.

  16388.  
  16389. &lt;p&gt;“Not to mention the love shown to me by both my wife and beautiful daughter Thailula-Lily who are both my motivations daily.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16390.  
  16391.  
  16392.  
  16393. &lt;p&gt;A year later, Thompson said about them: &amp;#8220;She means the world to me – and my wife. &lt;/p&gt;
  16394.  
  16395.  
  16396.  
  16397. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s been my motivation through some really dark and hard times.&lt;/p&gt;
  16398.  
  16399.  
  16400.  
  16401. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She always makes me smile and hopefully she&amp;#8217;ll remember that. She sees Daddy as Superman.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16402.  
  16403.  
  16404.  
  16405. &lt;p&gt;They had their second daughter, Athena Rae, in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  16406.  
  16407.  
  16408.  
  16409. &lt;p&gt;Tragically, in 2024, Chantelle and Joe shared that they had lost their baby son, whom they named Dre Phoenix Thompson.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  16446.  
  16447.  
  16448.  
  16449. &lt;p&gt;Michael Ormandy, 34, has now been charged with murder after he was arrested on the night of the tragedy.&lt;/p&gt;
  16450.  
  16451.  
  16452.  
  16453. &lt;p&gt;He has been remanded into custody to appear at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; Magistrate&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/courts&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;

  16457. &lt;p&gt;Merseyside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; previously confirmed they were called to the home at around 10.30pm following reports of a stabbing.&lt;/p&gt;
  16458.  
  16459.  
  16460.  
  16461. &lt;p&gt;They said the incident was &amp;#8220;domestic&amp;#8221; and revealed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the &lt;span id=&quot;6ce47da1-a61c-4dc6-9b37-a8b7a7f89874&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;horror&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16462.  
  16463.  
  16464.  
  16465. &lt;p&gt;Rebekah&amp;#8217;s family have paid tribute in a moving statement released through police.&lt;/p&gt;
  16466.  
  16467.  
  16468.  
  16469. &lt;p&gt;They said: &amp;#8220;Rebekah was our everything. She was a happy young woman with her whole life ahead of her and had a genuine heart of gold, if it meant putting herself out to help someone, she wouldn’t hesitate.&lt;/p&gt;
  16470.  
  16471.  
  16472.  
  16473. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are so proud of her. She was a support for vulnerable people and would use her own experiences to make other lives better.&lt;/p&gt;
  16474.  
  16475.  
  16476.  
  16477. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are so grateful for all the messages of condolences, and we didn’t realise how many people’s lives Rebekah had touched, which just reiterates to us how special she was.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16478.  
  16479.  
  16480.  
  16481. &lt;p&gt;Anyone with information can call police on 101 quoting reference number 25000309360.&lt;/p&gt;

  16535. &lt;p&gt;IN all the chaos of Manchester United&amp;#8217;s thrilling 7-6 aggregate victory over Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals, one star was initially overlooked for his huge role in the comeback.&lt;/p&gt;

  16548.

  16552.  
  16553.  
  16554.  
  16555. &lt;p&gt;However, one star played an overlooked part in all three goals, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/casemiro/&quot;&gt;Casemiro&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16556.  
  16557.  
  16558.  
  16559. &lt;p&gt;After a strong start to his Man Utd career, the £70million Brazilian midfielder has rightly been criticised for many of his displays over the past two seasons, often looking leggy and making some high-profile errors to give away goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  16560.  
  16561.  
  16562.  
  16563. &lt;p&gt;But against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1504303/lyon/&quot;&gt;Lyon&lt;/a&gt;, the 33-year-old showed off his class and guts by having a hand in all three of the Red Devils&amp;#8217; extra-time goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  16564.  
  16565.  
  16566.  
  16567. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;d1bbfc58-c5d4-44ac-8042-499b7c150357&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Casemiro&lt;/span&gt; was firstly involved with the score at 4-2 to Lyon when he found his way into the box and was all set to score before he was fouled for the penalty, which Fernandes then duly converted.&lt;/p&gt;
  16568.  
  16569.  
  16570.  
  16571. &lt;p&gt;The former Real &lt;span id=&quot;d821b65a-a4d8-44fe-8a5f-ecc3bac3b636&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Madrid&lt;/span&gt; midfielder was then involved again as the ball was played into him on the edge of the box before he laid off a pass to Mainoo.&lt;/p&gt;
  16572.  
  16573.  
  16574.  
  16575. &lt;p&gt;The academy graduate, who turns 20 this weekend, then produced a deft touch to move inside his marker before curling a shot into the bottom-right corner and past goalkeeper Lucas Perri.&lt;/p&gt;
  16576.  
  16577.  
  16578.  
  16579. &lt;p&gt;And mere seconds after the restart, Casemiro picked up the ball in the left half-space, turned and started dribbling towards goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  16580.  
  16581.  
  16582.  
  16583. &lt;p&gt;He then lifted a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34530825/man-united-europa-league-lyon-maguire-amorim-dalot/&quot;&gt;perfectly weighted cross to the far post&lt;/a&gt; where Maguire had peeled away from his marker, which saw the centre-half nod home the winner.&lt;/p&gt;
  16584.  
  16585.  
  16586.  
  16587. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/pollingwidgets/v3/widget.js?question_id=112757&amp;#038;game=polling&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

  16592.  
  16593.  
  16594.  
  16595. &lt;p&gt;As well as his assists for the three late goals, Casemiro also had an excellent game in his less glamorous duties.&lt;/p&gt;
  16596.  
  16597.  
  16598.  
  16599. &lt;p&gt;He won the most duels (nine) and created the most chances out of any Man Utd player against Lyon, as well as racking up three tackles, winning possession seven times and making eight clearances.&lt;/p&gt;

  16623. &lt;p&gt;Following the thrilling clash, fans highlighted Casemiro&amp;#8217;s efforts during the emotionally draining 120 minutes of action.&lt;/p&gt;
  16624.  
  16625.  
  16626.  
  16627. &lt;p&gt;Taking to social media, one fan said: &amp;#8220;Build Casemiro a statue, I didn’t even realise he assisted all three late goals.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16628.  
  16629.  
  16630.

  16633.  
  16634.

  16638.  
  16639. &lt;p&gt;Another said: &amp;#8220;Man United really did what we wanted to see from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1250296/real-madrid/&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt; yesterday.

  16652.  
  16653.  
  16654.  
  16655. &lt;p&gt;A sixth said: &amp;#8220;Genuinely thought I was watching 2017 Casemiro in the UCL tonight. That was a monumental performance from him, 120 mins of just excellence and then ends it with two assists and a penalty won in seven minutes?! Genuinely, wow.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16656.  
  16657.  
  16658.  
  16659. &lt;p&gt;Casemiro&amp;#8217;s heroics to get Man Utd to the semi-finals will see him return to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spain/&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt; to face a familiar foe in Athletic Bilbao, who defeated &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1332448/rangers/&quot;&gt;Rangers&lt;/a&gt; 2-0 on aggregate in their own quarter-final.&lt;/p&gt;

  16664.

  16667. &lt;p&gt;Man Utd have played the Basque outfit four times overall, losing their most recent two encounters in 2012 under &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-alex-ferguson/&quot;&gt;Sir Alex Ferguson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16668.  
  16669.  
  16670.  
  16671. &lt;p&gt;In general, they have a poor record against Spanish opposition, with only 23 wins from a total of 76 games &amp;#8211; a win rate of just 30.26 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  16672.  
  16673.  
  16674.

  16688. MANCHESTER UNITED scored three goals in seven unbelievable minutes to beat Lyon in one of the all-time great nights at Old Trafford. &lt;/p&gt;
  16690. &lt;div&gt;
  16691. &lt;p&gt;The Red Devils looked to be putting in one of their best displays since Ruben Amorim took over as they raced into a 2-0 lead.&lt;/p&gt;
  16692. &lt;p&gt;But after conceding one goal, they let the ground slip from under them, quickly giving away another to allow Lyon to take the game to extra time.&lt;/p&gt;
  16693. &lt;p&gt;Not even a red card for Corentin Tolisso could get United out of their slump as the French side completely dominated most of the additional 30 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  16694. &lt;p&gt;Rayan Cherki and an Alexandre Lacazette penalty meant the visitors looked home and hosed before Casemiro was fouled and Bruno Fernandes hit home from the spot.&lt;/p&gt;
  16695. &lt;p&gt;Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire then both netted in stoppage time of extra time to secure a scarcely believable win.&lt;/p&gt;
  16696. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34532608/man-utd-ratings-maguire-dorgu-lyon/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s how SunSport&amp;#8217;s Phil Thomas rated the United stars on a night that went from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  16747.  
  16748.  
  16749.  
  16750. &lt;p&gt;It is not known at this stage exactly how many &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34507625/migrant-channel-crossing-one-in-one-out/&quot;&gt;migrants&lt;/a&gt; arrived today but cops have confirmed one man has since been pronounced dead.&lt;/p&gt;
  16751.  
  16752.  
  16753.  
  16754. &lt;p&gt;Kent police confirmed they were called at around 8.26am after Border Force patrol responded to a medical incident on the small vessel.&lt;/p&gt;
  16755.  
  16756.

  16761.  
  16762. &lt;p&gt;In a statement police said: &amp;#8220;Kent Police was called at 8.26am on Friday 18 April 2025 after a Border Force patrol responded to a medical emergency on a small boat in the English Channel. A man has since been pronounced deceased.&lt;/p&gt;

  16764.  
  16765.  
  16766. &lt;p&gt;Officers have launched an investigation to establish the circumstances leading to the man&amp;#8217;s death.&lt;/p&gt;
  16767.  
  16768.  
  16769.  
  16770. &lt;p&gt;The priority remains to establish the man&amp;#8217;s identity in order to notify his family.&lt;/p&gt;
  16771.  
  16772.  
  16773.  
  16774. &lt;p&gt;Officers are currently at Dover Lifeboat Station while initial enquiries are underway.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16775.  
  16776.  
  16777.  
  16778. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for RNLI said: &amp;#8220;Dover RNLI&amp;#8217;s all-weather lifeboat was tasked by HM Coastguard at 8.15am today (Friday 18 April) to an incident in the Channel.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16779.  
  16780.  
  16781.  
  16782. &lt;p&gt;A Maritime and Coastguard Agency spokesperson said:&amp;nbsp;“HM Coastguard sent UK Border Force vessels, &lt;/p&gt;
  16783.  
  16784.  
  16785.  
  16786. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;RNLI lifeboats and an HM Coastguard search and rescue helicopter in response to small boats activity reported in the Channel on 18 April.&lt;/p&gt;
  16787.  
  16788.  
  16789.  
  16790. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;People were recovered to the UK.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16791.  
  16792.  
  16793.  
  16794. &lt;p&gt;The death comes after more than 700 migrants crossed the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33782391/channel-migrants-number-labour/&quot;&gt;English Channel&lt;/a&gt; on Tuesday in the highest number of arrivals on a single day so far this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  16795.  
  16796.  
  16797.  
  16798. &lt;p&gt;Home Office provisional figures suggest 705 people made the journey in 12 boats.&lt;/p&gt;
  16799.  
  16800.  
  16801.  
  16802. &lt;p&gt;Lat Saturday, 656 people made the crossing in 11 boats, which at the time was the highest daily number for the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  16803.  
  16804.  
  16805.  
  16806. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33983985/small-boats-latest-numbers-britain-revealed/&quot;&gt;Some 7,228 illegal migrants have now arrived since January&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;— a 31 per cent rise on the same period last year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16807.  
  16808.  
  16809.  
  16810. &lt;p&gt;Governments in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europe/&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are getting tougher on the issue — and PM Sir&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/keir-starmer/&quot;&gt;Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is being urged to copy a German plan to cut foreign aid to countries that refuse to take migrants back.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16811.  
  16812.  
  16813.  
  16814. &lt;p&gt;Shadow Justice Secretary&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/robert-jenrick/&quot;&gt;Robert Jenrick&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;previously said: “The German government is finally getting serious, and so must we.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16815.  
  16816.  
  16817.  
  16818. &lt;p&gt;“Currently our generosity is being abused.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  16842. &lt;p&gt;“If foreign governments don’t co-operate with us to take back their nationals here illegally, then foreign aid should be suspended and withdrawn.&lt;/p&gt;
  16843.  
  16844.  
  16845.  
  16846. &lt;p&gt;Smuggling&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;gangs&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;have been packing more and more on to the Channel boats in recent months — with as many as 70 people squeezed into a single vessel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16847.  
  16848.  
  16849.  
  16850. &lt;p&gt;This follows the Home Secretary&amp;#8217;s remarks last week, where she said smuggling gangs are so powerful the only major factor stopping their ­dangerous trade is wind and rain.&lt;/p&gt;
  16851.  
  16852.  
  16853.  
  16854. &lt;p&gt;In an interview on the BBC’s ­Sunday with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/laura-kuenssberg/&quot;&gt;Laura Kuenssberg&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;show, Ms Cooper said: “The really un­acceptable situation we’re in is because of the way the criminal gangs have taken hold, our border security ends up being dependent on the weather.&lt;/p&gt;
  16855.  
  16856.  
  16857.  
  16858. &lt;p&gt;“We cannot continue like this, where the number of calm days affects the number of crossings.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16859.  
  16860.  
  16861.  
  16862. &lt;p&gt;Ms Cooper insisted “only a coordinated international response” across the whole migration route could effectively end the reign of the people smugglers.&lt;/p&gt;
  16863.  
  16864.  
  16865.  
  16866. &lt;p&gt;She admitted the situation is un­acceptable and cannot continue.&lt;/p&gt;
  16867.

  17204. &lt;p&gt;When asked if he fancies her, Caspar brutally added: &amp;#8220;Not currently no, let&amp;#8217;s be honest.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17205.

  17208. &lt;p&gt;The exchange left Emma in tears.&lt;/p&gt;
  17209.  
  17210.  
  17211.  
  17212. &lt;p&gt;Over several weeks, the pair attempted to work on their chemistry but it failed to materialise and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31369427/married-at-first-sight-emma-caspar-quit-experiment/&quot;&gt;they called it quits&lt;/a&gt; before the end of the series.&lt;/p&gt;

  17220. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  17223. &lt;div&gt;
  17224. &lt;p&gt;Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  17225. &lt;p&gt;The pair couldn&amp;#8217;t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam&amp;#8217;s Doncaster home.&lt;/p&gt;
  17226. &lt;p&gt;Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.&lt;/p&gt;
  17227. &lt;p&gt;Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  17228. &lt;p&gt;Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out &amp;#8211; and excited for everything to come.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17229. &lt;p&gt;Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  17230. &lt;p&gt;Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.&lt;/p&gt;
  17231. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.&lt;/p&gt;
  17232. &lt;p&gt;“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’&lt;/p&gt;
  17233. &lt;p&gt;“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17234. &lt;p&gt;Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.&lt;/p&gt;
  17235. &lt;p&gt;Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna&amp;#8217;s vegan lifestyle, the show&amp;#8217;s first same sex pairing are still going strong.&lt;/p&gt;
  17236. &lt;p&gt;They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.&lt;/p&gt;
  17237. &lt;p&gt;Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17238. &lt;/div&gt;

  17283. &lt;p&gt;PATSY Palmer seemingly snubbed fellow housemate JoJo Siwa in a clip shown last night, leaving fans quick to brand the Bianca Jackson legend as &amp;#8216;rude&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17284.

  17320.  
  17321.  
  17322.  
  17323. &lt;p&gt;Standing in the plush bathroom brushing her teeth, JoJo struck up a conversation with Patsy, though it didn&amp;#8217;t seem like the enthusiasm to chat was reciprocated. &lt;/p&gt;
  17324.  
  17325.  
  17326.

  17328.  
  17329.  
  17330.  
  17331. &lt;p&gt;But towards the end of their conversation, Patsy seemingly walked away and failed to answer, in turn snubbing JoJo and then getting branded as &amp;#8220;rude&amp;#8221; by viewers.&lt;/p&gt;
  17332.  
  17333.  
  17334.  
  17335. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Crazy that it&amp;#8217;s only Thursday,&amp;#8221; Jojo said while brushing her teeth in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34496934/bathroom-freshener-boys/&quot;&gt;bathroom&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17336.  
  17337.  
  17338.  
  17339. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What, darling?&amp;#8221; Patsy replied, not understanding what she had said.&lt;/p&gt;
  17340.  
  17341.  
  17342.  
  17343. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s crazy that it&amp;#8217;s already Thursday,&amp;#8221; Jojo repeated.&lt;/p&gt;
  17344.  
  17345.  
  17346.  
  17347. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s moving so fast.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17348.  
  17349.  
  17350.  
  17351. &lt;p&gt;Patsy then said: &amp;#8220;Yeah, I hope it hurries up.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17352.  
  17353.  
  17354.  
  17355. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hm?&amp;#8221; Jojo said, not sure of what Patsy had said.&lt;/p&gt;
  17356.  
  17357.  
  17358.  
  17359. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For me, I hope it hurries up now,&amp;#8221; Patsy then replied.&lt;/p&gt;

  17425. &lt;/div&gt;
  17426. &lt;/div&gt;
  17427. &lt;/div&gt;
  17429.  
  17430.  
  17431.  
  17432. &lt;p&gt;The Big Brother Instagram account shared the clip on Instagram, writing a caption that read: &amp;#8220;Some say JoJo is still waiting for a response from Patsy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17433.  
  17434.  
  17435.  
  17436. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I feel Patsy is rude,&amp;#8221; said one person, adding: &amp;#8220;Hope she&amp;#8217;s up for elimination next.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17437.  
  17438.  
  17439.  
  17440. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Pasty needs to lighten up a bit please.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17441.  
  17442.  
  17443.  
  17444. &lt;p&gt;A third person then joked: &amp;#8220;Jojo got an EastEnders &amp;#8216;duff duff duff&amp;#8217;, got to wait till next episode to see what happens next!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17445.  
  17446.  
  17447.  
  17448. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I love that Jojo doesn’t get offended and accepts Patsy for who she is,&amp;#8221; said a fourth.&lt;/p&gt;
  17449.  
  17450.  
  17451.  
  17452. &lt;p&gt;A fifth then moaned: &amp;#8220;There are so many people that would love to be in her place !! I understand she’s missing her children, why accept to go into big brother!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17453.  
  17454.  
  17455.  
  17456. &lt;p&gt;While a sixth said: &amp;#8220;That was a mic drop moment from Patsy, love her, it’s like I can’t even be bothered to answer you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17457.  
  17458.  
  17459.  
  17460. &lt;p&gt;And a seventh rushed to Patsy&amp;#8217;s defence when they said: &amp;#8220;People need to understand Patsy has been filming for EastEnders for 8 months and went straight into the Big Brother house! &lt;/p&gt;
  17461.  
  17462.  
  17463.  
  17464. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And didn’t see her family at all! &lt;/p&gt;
  17465.  
  17466.  
  17467.  
  17468. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All them contestants did! &lt;/p&gt;
  17469.  
  17470.  
  17471.  
  17472. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So stop hating on her for saying she misses her family because anyone would. If you do what she’s just done.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17473.

  17503. &lt;p&gt;SLEEPING soundly side-by-side, the dreams of two best friends soon turned into a real-life nightmare when flames engulfed their room.&lt;/p&gt;
  17504.  
  17505.  
  17506.  
  17507. &lt;p&gt;Vikki Preston and Rhona Schofield were &amp;#8220;inseparable&amp;#8221; after meeting at Kersal High School in &lt;span id=&quot;96a828e9-a2cb-4b7d-b655-3eda7d6255fb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Salford&lt;/span&gt;, Greater &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  17521.  
  17522.  
  17523. &lt;p&gt;Tragically, they became bonded in death as well as life when the 19-year-olds were horrifically killed in a deliberate house fire.&lt;/p&gt;
  17524.  
  17525.  
  17526.  
  17527. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;c0c29975-c0e4-499b-8b6d-efdb04195be4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Next&lt;/span&gt; month marks the 20 year anniversary of their brutal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/murderers-serial-killers/&quot;&gt;murder &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; with Vikki and Rhona&amp;#8217;s killer still on the loose.&lt;/p&gt;
  17528.  
  17529.  
  17530.  
  17531. &lt;p&gt;Greater Manchester &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; made several arrests during their &lt;span id=&quot;128db6e5-571d-4384-ba33-e7526b971056&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/span&gt; but no charges have ever been brought.&lt;/p&gt;
  17532.  
  17533.  
  17534.  
  17535. &lt;p&gt;Chillingly, officers are certain the culprit &amp;#8211; or culprits &amp;#8211; lit the fire that night to kill.&lt;/p&gt;
  17536.  
  17537.  
  17538.  
  17539. &lt;p&gt;The disturbing tale began on May 10, 2005, after both Vikki and Rhona had gone to &lt;span id=&quot;1d692728-2019-4d82-87a2-37bbc8a4d94c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;sleep&lt;/span&gt; in a first floor bedroom.&lt;/p&gt;
  17540.  
  17541.  
  17542.  
  17543. &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mysteries-unsolved-cases/&quot;&gt;mystery killer&lt;/a&gt; entered the terraced home between 3.40am and 4.10am through the front door and started a fire.&lt;/p&gt;
  17544.  
  17545.  
  17546.  
  17547. &lt;p&gt;Foam-filled armchairs and sofas in a front and rear lounge quickly ignited &amp;#8211; causing the wooden floors beneath to burn through.&lt;/p&gt;
  17548.  
  17549.  
  17550.  
  17551. &lt;p&gt;Within ten minutes, the downstairs had reached temperatures of 1,000C as the windows the blew out.&lt;/p&gt;
  17552.  
  17553.  
  17554.  
  17555. &lt;p&gt;Fresh air then rushed into the home and made the flames to spread to the bedroom where Rhona and Vikki were sleeping.&lt;/p&gt;
  17556.  
  17557.  
  17558.  
  17559. &lt;p&gt;In a desperate bid to save them, Rhona had attempted to close the door to block out the billowing smoke.&lt;/p&gt;
  17560.  
  17561.  
  17562.  
  17563. &lt;p&gt;The impression she left as she crawled across the floor was still visible after the blaze was extinguished.&lt;/p&gt;
  17564.  
  17565.  
  17566.  
  17567. &lt;p&gt;Firefighters were scrambled to the scene within minutes of the alarm being raised and battled to rescue the girls.&lt;/p&gt;
  17568.  
  17569.  
  17570.  
  17571. &lt;p&gt;Tragically, neither could be saved and were both declared dead at the scene after inhaling toxic fumes.&lt;/p&gt;
  17572.  
  17573.  
  17574.  
  17575. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34535458&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/2025/04/rhona-schofield-vikki-preston-19-988126455.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Soot-damaged teddy bear with a red and green plaid bow.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34535458&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Greater Manchester Police&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The killer has crept into the home in the dead of night[/caption]
  17576.  
  17577.  
  17578.  
  17579. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34535973&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/2025/04/rhona-schofield-vikki-preston-19-988150170.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A fire-damaged row of brick houses with a firetruck and police officer present.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34535973&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;627&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;MEN Media&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Both girls died from inhaling toxic fumes[/caption]
  17580.  
  17581.  
  17582.  
  17583. &lt;p&gt;Experts proved the fire was started deliberately &amp;#8211; leading to police launching a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;murder&lt;/a&gt; probe.&lt;/p&gt;
  17584.  
  17585.  
  17586.  
  17587. &lt;p&gt;But the intensity of the flames had destroyed any potential forensic evidence.&lt;/p&gt;
  17588.  
  17589.  
  17590.  
  17591. &lt;p&gt;At an inquest in 2007, a breakthrough came when the circumstances leading up to the &lt;span id=&quot;6c3421b6-998f-45f0-83ad-92ff21e18502&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;horror&lt;/span&gt; were revealed.&lt;/p&gt;
  17592.  
  17593.  
  17594.  
  17595. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/courts&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; was told a series of rows had broken out at the address between a group of people including Rhona and Vikki.&lt;/p&gt;
  17596.  
  17597.  
  17598.  
  17599. &lt;p&gt;They both remained at the home, while the others who were with them all left for the night.&lt;/p&gt;
  17600.  
  17601.  
  17602.  
  17603. &lt;p&gt;One woman, who was pregnant at the time, had allegedly told the two &lt;span id=&quot;bb7d8857-34dd-4c2e-b95f-a9863202bf15&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;teenagers&lt;/span&gt; she was &amp;#8220;going to kill them&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17604.  
  17605.  
  17606.  
  17607. &lt;p&gt;Police managed to identify two prime suspects but without any evidence, they have never been charged.&lt;/p&gt;
  17608.  
  17609.

  17615. &lt;p&gt;A scorched teddy bear was among the items left intact after flames gutted the home.&lt;/p&gt;

  17619. &lt;p&gt;An area of flooring where Rhona tried to drag herself to safety also remained untouched.&lt;/p&gt;

  17621.  
  17622.  
  17623. &lt;p&gt;The downstairs of the property was left blackened by soot &amp;#8211; with the &lt;span id=&quot;e842ec37-543a-492b-bb69-fb72f4585158&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;shell&lt;/span&gt; of an armchair that was torched still visible.&lt;/p&gt;

  17638.  
  17639. &lt;p&gt;Tragically, Rhona&amp;#8217;s dad Peter Schofield had to identify his daughter &amp;#8211; a torment he lived with for the rest of his life.&lt;/p&gt;
  17640.  
  17641.  
  17642.  
  17643. &lt;p&gt;He passed away in October 2013, followed by Rhona&amp;#8217;s mum Doreen six years later.&lt;/p&gt;
  17644.  
  17645.  
  17646.  
  17647. &lt;p&gt;Both went to their graves without ever managing to get justice for their daughter.&lt;/p&gt;
  17648.  
  17649.  
  17650.  
  17651. &lt;p&gt;In 2016 Vikki&amp;#8217;s mum Jacqueline told the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/haunting-images-unsolved-double-murder-21115314&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Manchester Evening News&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;In my lifetime I hope I see justice. There are people out there that know who did it. Their loyalties are wrong. &lt;/p&gt;
  17652.  
  17653.  
  17654.  
  17655. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I often wonder where Vikki would be now; would she be married, would she have given us grandchildren? But we will never know because of someone&amp;#8217;s selfishness.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17656.  
  17657.  
  17658.  
  17659. &lt;p&gt;The investigation into Vikki and Rhona&amp;#8217;s murders remains open 20 years later.&lt;/p&gt;
  17660.  
  17661.  
  17662.  
  17663. &lt;p&gt;Martin Bottomley, head of GMP’s Cold Case Unit, told The Sun Online: &amp;#8220;Almost certainly someone living in this community knows what happened and why that house was targeted.&lt;/p&gt;
  17664.  
  17665.  
  17666.  
  17667. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What we need is a witness that will tell us in a statement what they know.&lt;/p&gt;
  17668.  
  17669.  
  17670.  
  17671. &lt;p&gt;“The pain and heartbreak that Vikki and Rhona&amp;#8217;s family and friends have had to go through is unimaginable.&lt;/p&gt;
  17672.  
  17673.  
  17674.  
  17675. &lt;p&gt;“We will never give up searching for answers, and we&amp;#8217;re determined to find those responsible for the girls&amp;#8217; deaths and bring them to justice.&lt;/p&gt;
  17676.  
  17677.  
  17678.  
  17679. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A £50,000 reward remains on offer for information leading to their arrest and conviction.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17680.  
  17681.  
  17682.

  17731. &lt;p&gt;IN EUROPE, there is a &amp;#8216;blue island&amp;#8217; home to a pier full of paintings, inspired by a sailing tradition to quell superstition.&lt;/p&gt;
  17732.  
  17733.

  17735. &lt;p&gt;Faial, located in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/27154884/visit-azores-whale-watching-volcano-cooking-classes/&quot;&gt;Azores&lt;/a&gt; archipelago, was created by the eruption of the volcano Capelinhos.&lt;/p&gt;

  17745.  
  17746.  
  17747. &lt;p&gt;It gained its name of &amp;#8216;blue island&amp;#8217; from the large number of hydrangea flowers that bloom in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; months.&lt;/p&gt;
  17748.  
  17749.  
  17750.  
  17751. &lt;p&gt;The island is also home to Horta, where visitors can explore the marina and enjoy a tipple of gin at the famous Peter’s Café.&lt;/p&gt;
  17752.  
  17753.  
  17754.  
  17755. &lt;p&gt;The marina is often the preferred stop for ships crossing the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/26088803/entire-atlantic-ocean-sealed-off-volcano-ring-fire/&quot;&gt;Atlantic Ocean.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17756.  
  17757.  
  17758.  
  17759. &lt;p&gt;Traditionally, each crew leaves a small painting on the concrete walls of the pier.&lt;/p&gt;
  17760.  
  17761.  
  17762.  
  17763. &lt;p&gt;The tradition came about after sailors, fearing the sea, would leave a painting to &amp;#8216;ensure&amp;#8217; safe arrival at their &lt;span id=&quot;7b714b99-c550-4baa-b15c-ecfd765cc92c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; destination. &lt;/p&gt;
  17764.  
  17765.  
  17766.  
  17767. &lt;p&gt;The superstition continues today, following a number of ships who didn&amp;#8217;t leave paintings and then later suffered shipwrecks or other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34106067/red-sea-disasters-submarine-sharks-boats/&quot;&gt;nautical disasters. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17768.  
  17769.  
  17770.  
  17771. &lt;p&gt;The city is also home to several historical buildings, which paint the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt; of the city over the decades. &lt;/p&gt;
  17772.  
  17773.  
  17774.  
  17775. &lt;p&gt;Outside of the city, about a 20-minute drive away, is one of the island&amp;#8217;s craters called Caldeira of Faial. &lt;/p&gt;
  17776.  
  17777.  
  17778.  
  17779. &lt;p&gt;Measuring 400 metres deep and two kilometres wide, the crater is home to great &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/32849023/beautiful-uk-hiking-trails-travel-somerset/&quot;&gt;hiking trails &lt;/a&gt;and for those who head to the bottom with a guide, a protected area home to numerous endemic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/plants/&quot;&gt;plants&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17780.  
  17781.  
  17782.  
  17783. &lt;p&gt;Hikes across the island are great in general, with Monte de Guia and Monte Queimado both also a short walk from the city.&lt;/p&gt;

  17922. &lt;p&gt;In March, owner Kate said on the retailer&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; page: &amp;#8220;After three and a half years of running our lovely little shop in Cirencester, it&amp;#8217;s time for a change!&lt;/p&gt;
  17923.  
  17924.  
  17925.  
  17926. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;At the end of April, we&amp;#8217;ll be closing our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34512997/all-the-shops-closing-for-good-this-weekend/&quot;&gt;physical shop&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; but don&amp;#8217;t worry, this isn&amp;#8217;t goodbye, the end of a chapter, but not the end of the book!&lt;/p&gt;
  17927.  
  17928.  
  17929.  
  17930. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As many of you will know, this has not been any easy decision (or process!) but we don&amp;#8217;t need a physical store to continue being wonderful.&lt;/p&gt;
  17931.  
  17932.  
  17933.  
  17934. &lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;ll still be here, bringing you the best &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/plants/&quot;&gt;plants&lt;/a&gt; through our website, subscription service (which will expand soon!) and our workshops, which will continue, but in a slightly different way, we are working on that!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17935.  
  17936.  
  17937.  
  17938. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I want to say a huge thank you to you, the incredible Fern &amp;amp; Ivy community, for supporting the shop over the years.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17939.  
  17940.  
  17941.  
  17942. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s important to remember that retailers often open and close stores for a variety of reasons, and these decisions don&amp;#8217;t necessarily reflect financial difficulties.&lt;/p&gt;
  17943.  
  17944.  
  17945.  
  17946. &lt;p&gt;For instance, a retailer may choose to close a shop if there’s another nearby location that performs better, or they might relocate to a site with higher footfall, such as a busy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/a&gt; park.&lt;/p&gt;

  17971.

  17973.  
  17974. &lt;p&gt;Therefore, store closures alone are not always a reliable indicator of a business&amp;#8217;s financial &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  17985. EMPTY shops have become an eyesore on many British high streets and are often symbolic of a town centre’s decline. &lt;/p&gt;
  17987. &lt;div&gt;
  17988. &lt;p&gt;The Sun&amp;#8217;s business editor&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/ashley-armstrong/&quot;&gt;Ashley Armstrong&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;explains why so many retailers are shutting their doors.&lt;/p&gt;
  17989. &lt;p&gt;In many cases, retailers are shutting stores because they are no longer the money-makers they once were because of the rise of online shopping.&lt;/p&gt;
  17990. &lt;p&gt;Falling store sales and rising staff costs have made it even more expensive for shops to stay open.&lt;/p&gt;
  17991. &lt;p&gt;The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury&amp;#8217;s hike to employer NICs from April 2025, will cost the retail sector £2.3billion.&lt;/p&gt;
  17992. &lt;p&gt;At the same time, the minimum wage will rise to £12.21 an hour from April, and the minimum wage for people aged 18-20 will rise to £10 an hour, an increase of £1.40.&lt;/p&gt;
  17993. &lt;p&gt;In some cases, retailers are shutting a store and reopening a new shop at the other end of a high street to reflect how a town has changed.&lt;/p&gt;
  17994. &lt;p&gt;The problem is that when a big shop closes, footfall falls across the local high street, which puts more shops at risk of closing.&lt;/p&gt;
  17995. &lt;p&gt;Retail parks are increasingly popular with shoppers, who want to be able to get easy, free parking at a time when local councils have hiked parking charges in towns.&lt;/p&gt;
  17996. &lt;p&gt;Many retailers including Next and Marks &amp;amp; Spencer have been shutting stores on the high street and taking bigger stores in better-performing retail parks instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  17997. &lt;p&gt;In some cases, stores have been shut when a retailer goes bust, as in the case of Carpetright, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Paperchase, Ted Baker, The Body Shop, Topshop and Wilko to name a few.&lt;/p&gt;
  17998. &lt;p&gt;What&amp;#8217;s increasingly common is when a chain goes bust a rival retailer or private equity firm snaps up the intellectual property rights so they can own the brand and sell it online.&lt;/p&gt;
  17999. &lt;p&gt;They may go on to open a handful of stores if there is customer demand, but there are rarely ever as many stores or in the same places.&lt;/p&gt;
  18000. &lt;p&gt;The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  18001. &lt;/div&gt;
  18002. &lt;/div&gt;
  18003. &lt;/div&gt;
  18005.  
  18006.  
  18007.  
  18008. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Other shops leaving the high street&lt;/h2&gt;

  18013.  
  18014.  
  18015.  
  18016. &lt;p&gt;The company will shut its branch in Poole&amp;#8217;s Dolphin Centre on May 31.&lt;/p&gt;
  18017.  
  18018.  
  18019.  
  18020. &lt;p&gt;The sale includes fashion, furniture, gifts and cosmetics, being sold for up to 70% off.&lt;/p&gt;
  18021.  
  18022.  
  18023.  
  18024. &lt;p&gt;Beales chief executive Tony Brown blamed the &amp;#8220;devastating impact&amp;#8221; of the rise in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-insurance/&quot;&gt;national&amp;nbsp;insurance&amp;nbsp;contributions&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the higher&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33182158/national-living-wage-rise-confirmed/&quot;&gt;minimum wage&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the store closure.&lt;/p&gt;
  18025.  
  18026.  
  18027.  
  18028. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, high street fashion chain&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-look/&quot;&gt;New Look&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33451798/high-street-retailer-to-shut-three-stores/&quot;&gt;begun to close stores&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as it scales back its UK footprint.&lt;/p&gt;
  18029.  
  18030.  
  18031.  
  18032. &lt;p&gt;It is understood to be shutting nearly 100 stores &amp;#8211; equivalent to around a quarter of its 364 shops.&lt;/p&gt;
  18033.  
  18034.  
  18035.  
  18036. &lt;p&gt;Stores in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, St Austell,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cornwall/&quot;&gt;Cornwall&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Porth, Rhondda Cynon Taf have launched closing down sales.&lt;/p&gt;
  18037.  
  18038.  
  18039.  
  18040. &lt;p&gt;Reports suggest that the company has been forced to accelerate the pace of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/store-closures/&quot;&gt;store closures&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;due to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tax/&quot;&gt;tax&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;changes in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/budget/&quot;&gt;Autumn Budget&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18104.  
  18105.  
  18106.  
  18107. &lt;p&gt;But what if your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/20351848/suffer-nighttime-leg-cramps-gp-why-when-see-doctor/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;muscle cramps (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;muscle cramps&lt;/a&gt; could be signalling something more serious? &lt;/p&gt;
  18108.  
  18109.  
  18110.  
  18111. &lt;p&gt;Understanding what causes them, particularly if they&amp;#8217;re a regular occurrence, can help you seek the appropriate treatment &amp;#8211; or potentially prevent more serious &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; complications. &lt;/p&gt;
  18112.  
  18113.  
  18114.  
  18115. &lt;p&gt;Dr Mohamed Najjar, of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a aria-label=&quot;Jorja Healthcare Group (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.jorjahealthcare.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Jorja Healthcare Group&lt;/a&gt;, said one of the most common causes of muscle cramps is straining or overusing a muscle, often during exercise.&lt;/p&gt;
  18116.  
  18117.  
  18118.  
  18119. &lt;p&gt;He explained: &amp;#8220;Muscle&amp;nbsp;cramps&amp;nbsp;most commonly affect the legs, typically in the calves, hamstrings, or quadriceps.&lt;/p&gt;
  18120.  
  18121.  
  18122.  
  18123. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If this is the cause, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wellness/33573432/stretches-every-day-live-longer/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;stretching (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;stretching&lt;/a&gt; the muscles and staying hydrated are some of the best ways to treat the muscle cramps. &lt;/p&gt;
  18124.  
  18125.  
  18126.  
  18127. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Applying heat or ice can also help, as can pain relief if the problem persists.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  18128.  
  18129.  
  18130.  
  18131. &lt;p&gt;A number of other potential causes, says Dr Najjar, are the compression of nerves from a spinal injury or pinched nerve in the neck, as well as dehydration or low levels of &lt;a aria-label=&quot;electrolytes (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wellness/34003156/electrolyte-drinks-review-taste-test-cheapest/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;electrolytes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18132.  
  18133.  
  18134.  
  18135. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Certain medication and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pregnancy/&quot;&gt;pregnancy&lt;/a&gt; can also cause muscle cramps,&amp;#8221; he added. &lt;/p&gt;
  18136.  
  18137.  
  18138.  
  18139. &lt;p&gt;Muscle cramps, especially at night, are often the result of&amp;nbsp;tired or overworked muscles, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or nerve problems.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18140.  
  18141.  
  18142.  
  18143. &lt;p&gt;While the exact cause isn&amp;#8217;t always clear, Doctify-rated sport and exercise medicine doctor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.doctify.com/uk/specialist/lewis-raiman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Dr Lewis Raiman (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Dr Lewis Raiman&lt;/a&gt; said night-time calf&amp;nbsp;cramps&amp;nbsp;are particularly common in older adults, but aren&amp;#8217;t usually a sign of anything serious.&lt;/p&gt;

  18167. &lt;p&gt;Dr Raiman said: &amp;#8220;The most effective treatment is gentle stretching of the affected&amp;nbsp;muscle, especially when performed at the time of the&amp;nbsp;cramp. &lt;/p&gt;
  18168.  
  18169.  
  18170.  
  18171. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Daily passive stretching, particularly of the calf&amp;nbsp;muscles&amp;nbsp;before bedtime, can reduce the frequency and intensity of night-time&amp;nbsp;cramps.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18172.  
  18173.  
  18174.  
  18175. &lt;p&gt;But if muscle cramps persist or appear unusual, it could be an early symptom of a medical condition, warned Dr Raiman. &lt;/p&gt;

  18180.  
  18181.  
  18182.  
  18183. &lt;p&gt;If this is the case, he said you should also look out for the following six signs:&lt;/p&gt;
  18184.  
  18185.  
  18186.  
  18187. &lt;ul&gt;
  18188. &lt;li&gt;Muscle&amp;nbsp;weakness&lt;/li&gt;

  18199.  
  18200. &lt;li&gt;Unexplained weight changes&lt;/li&gt;
  18201.  
  18202.  
  18203.  
  18204. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/18194363/feeling-thirsty-sign-killer-disease/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Excessive thirst (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Excessive thirst&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  18209. &lt;/ul&gt;
  18210.  
  18211.  
  18212.  
  18213. &lt;p&gt;Dr Raiman advised: &amp;#8220;These symptoms may point to conditions like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/diabetes/&quot;&gt;diabetes&lt;/a&gt;, thyroid problems, kidney disease, or neurological disorders and should be checked by a doctor.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18214.  
  18215.  
  18216.  
  18217. &lt;p&gt;Most muscle cramps will only last a few seconds, or minutes at the very most. &lt;/p&gt;
  18218.  
  18219.  
  18220.  
  18221. &lt;p&gt;But if they become frequent, prolonged, or very painful, they warrant further evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;
  18222.  
  18223.  
  18224.  
  18225. &lt;p&gt;Dr Najjar recommended: &amp;#8220;You should see your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp/&quot;&gt;GP&lt;/a&gt; if your&amp;nbsp;cramps&amp;nbsp;are disturbing your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sleep/&quot;&gt;sleep&lt;/a&gt; or daily life, if you also have numbness or swelling in your legs, or if the cramping lasts for more than ten minutes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18233. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  18236. &lt;div&gt;
  18237. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stretching and massage:&lt;/strong&gt; Gently stretch the cramped muscle by flexing it in the opposite direction and holding the stretch.&amp;nbsp;Massage the area to help relax the muscle and reduce the spasm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18238. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heat or cold:&lt;/strong&gt; Apply heat (like a warm towel or shower) or cold (like an ice pack) to the affected area.&amp;nbsp;Heat may help relax the muscle, while cold can reduce inflammation and pain.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18239. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hydration:&lt;/strong&gt; Drink plenty of fluids, especially if you&amp;#8217;re dehydrated, as this can help prevent and reduce muscle cramps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18240. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electrolyte replenishment:&lt;/strong&gt; Consider drinks or foods rich in electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, and magnesium) to help restore fluid balance and prevent muscle cramps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18241. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Activity modification&lt;/strong&gt;: If the cramp was triggered by exercise, stop or reduce the activity and allow the muscle to rest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18242. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Over-the-counter pain relievers:&lt;/strong&gt; If pain persists after the cramp has subsided, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help with soreness.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18243. &lt;/div&gt;
  18244. &lt;/div&gt;

  18304. &lt;p&gt;She had been waiting 15 years to get the $25,000 (£19,000) op, but now regrets it after being left ‘deformed’.&lt;/p&gt;
  18305.  
  18306.  
  18307.  
  18308. &lt;p&gt;Erica, from Toms River, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/new-jersey/&quot;&gt;New Jersey, US,&lt;/a&gt; said: &amp;#8220;This destroyed my life. I paid for my body to be deformed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18309.  
  18310.  
  18311.  
  18312. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I feel like I&amp;#8217;m being punished for not loving my body enough, I feel like a shell of the person I used to be.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18313.  
  18314.  
  18315.  
  18316. &lt;p&gt;The 5ft 3in 38-year-old was desperate to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wellness/34283630/lost-100lbs-excess-skin-without-fat-jabs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ditch the loose skin&lt;/a&gt; that had plagued her since losing 5st (75lbs) through &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wellness/diet-nutrition/&quot;&gt;diet and exercise &lt;/a&gt;at the age of 22. She had tipped the scales at 14st 3lbs at her heaviest.&lt;/p&gt;
  18317.  
  18318.  
  18319.  
  18320. &lt;p&gt;She says: &amp;#8220;At the time I felt like I was hiding a dirty secret under my clothes.&lt;/p&gt;
  18321.  
  18322.  
  18323.  
  18324. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;d done all this work, I lost the weight, I was in great shape but I had loose skin and stretchmarks on my stomach that everyone would be able to see.&lt;/p&gt;
  18325.  
  18326.  
  18327.  
  18328. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I felt like I was a walking catfish. It was this deep, deep insecurity that I felt was holding me back in every aspect of my life.&lt;/p&gt;

  18332. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Finally after 15 years I had a boyfriend and he helped me get the tummy tuck as it was something I wanted.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18333.  
  18334.  
  18335.  
  18336. &lt;p&gt;Having thoroughly researched different clinics and having five consultations, Erica went for a surgeon with good reviews and ‘cost the most’.&lt;/p&gt;
  18337.  
  18338.  
  18339.  
  18340. &lt;p&gt;She says: &amp;#8220;I had five consultations to talk to different surgeons and did research. I got the most expensive surgeon that I saw.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18364. &lt;p&gt;But Erica says days after the six-hour operation a hard, black scab formed on her tummy.&lt;/p&gt;
  18365.  
  18366.  
  18367.  
  18368. &lt;p&gt;She went to hospital where doctors told her it was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19889664/turkey-surgery-botched-boobs-rotting-skin/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;necrosis &amp;#8211; the death of bodily tissue.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18369.  
  18370.  
  18371.  
  18372. &lt;p&gt;After doctors removed the scab Erica was left with a &amp;#8216;huge&amp;#8217; hole.&lt;/p&gt;
  18373.  
  18374.  
  18375.  
  18376. &lt;p&gt;Erica said: &amp;#8220;About three days later I saw very strange colouring that went from the incision line that started trailing all the way up to my belly button. &lt;/p&gt;
  18377.  
  18378.  
  18379.  
  18380. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It almost looked like a bruise.&lt;/p&gt;
  18381.  
  18382.  
  18383.  
  18384. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I went to my doctors and he said this is most likely necrosis, he couldn&amp;#8217;t give me a healing timeline.&lt;/p&gt;
  18385.  
  18386.  
  18387.  
  18388. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Little by little it got worse and that dark bruise turned into a hard, black scab.&lt;/p&gt;
  18389.  
  18390.  
  18391.  
  18392. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Part of the scab fell off and underneath I saw a very tiny but very deep hole, I thought I was going to get &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/1781682/what-is-sepsis-bill-clinton-hospital-explained/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sepsis&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18393.  
  18394.  
  18395.  
  18396. &lt;p&gt;After docs removed the scab leaving a gaping hole, Erica faced the &amp;#8216;traumatic&amp;#8217; daily ritual of soaking the rotting wound, which was two inches long and wide with antiseptic for three months.&lt;/p&gt;
  18397.  
  18398.  
  18399.  
  18400. &lt;p&gt;Erica said the ordeal caused permanent nerve damage and &amp;#8216;destroyed her life&amp;#8217; &amp;#8211; and left her fearful of leaving home.&lt;/p&gt;
  18401.  
  18402.  
  18403.  
  18404. &lt;p&gt;She says: &amp;#8220;I had to do a chemical debridement using a very strong antiseptic solution.&lt;/p&gt;
  18405.  
  18406.  
  18407.  
  18408. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It gave me a chemical burn because I was soaking it in gauze every single day, twice a day, and putting it inside the hole where the wound was. That was extremely traumatic.&lt;/p&gt;
  18409.  
  18410.  
  18411.  
  18412. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I stopped taking care of myself as much and I stopped hanging out with friends or anyone. I didn&amp;#8217;t want anyone to see me. Mentally I was a prisoner in my home.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18424. &lt;p&gt;The former bartender claims that none of the surgeons at the consultations revealed the true extent of the risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  18425.  
  18426.  
  18427.  
  18428. &lt;p&gt;While unsure of the cause, Erica believes it might be because she had the liposuction and tummy tuck during the same surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
  18429.  
  18430.  
  18431.  
  18432. &lt;p&gt;Now waiting to have further scar revision, Erica is urging people to &amp;#8216;think twice&amp;#8217; before having &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cosmetic-surgery/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;plastic surgery&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18449. &lt;p&gt;Erica said: &amp;#8220;There was no reason for me to ever think this would happen. It was a board-certified, highly-rated and highly recommended surgeon.&lt;/p&gt;
  18450.  
  18451.  
  18452.  
  18453. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What made this so traumatic is I was at a very low risk.&lt;/p&gt;
  18454.  
  18455.  
  18456.  
  18457. &lt;p&gt;“I would see the pictures of necrosis but it was always on people who were unhealthy, had poor blood circulation, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/1904258/diabetes-symptoms-type-one-two-difference/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;diabetic&lt;/a&gt;, and were &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/obesity/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;overweight &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; I had none of these problems.&lt;/p&gt;
  18458.  
  18459.  
  18460.  
  18461. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What caused it could be a couple of different combinations of things &amp;#8211; it could be the blood loss, it could be with the lipo, that I was under too long or that I bled too much.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18485. &lt;p&gt;She now wants to spread awareness about her experience and urge others to &amp;#8216;think twice&amp;#8217; before getting plastic surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
  18486.  
  18487.  
  18488.  
  18489. &lt;p&gt;Erica said: &amp;#8220;I think it&amp;#8217;s so easy for us to look at plastic surgery and think it&amp;#8217;s so routine and safe.&lt;/p&gt;
  18490.  
  18491.  
  18492.  
  18493. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We see these celebrities jet off for a weekend and come back with new faces and bodies with no issues, it&amp;#8217;s so normalised now.&lt;/p&gt;
  18494.  
  18495.  
  18496.  
  18497. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But no surgery is safe, it doesn&amp;#8217;t matter what it is. Anytime you are put under anaesthesia and cut open you are at a risk. Knowing what I know now I would never have gotten it done.&lt;/p&gt;
  18498.  
  18499.  
  18500.  
  18501. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I want people to feel good in their bodies. I would ever take that away or shame anyone for getting surgery but what I would like is to stop and think twice, think thrice.&lt;/p&gt;
  18502.  
  18503.  
  18504.  
  18505. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;d say measure the cost. Tummy tuck surgery doesn&amp;#8217;t always turn out the way you want it to. There&amp;#8217;s other things that can go wrong that can make your body look deformed afterwards.”&lt;/p&gt;

  18512. &lt;/div&gt;
  18513. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  18515. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  18516. IT&amp;#039;S important to do your research if you&amp;#039;re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. &lt;/p&gt;
  18518. &lt;div&gt;
  18519. &lt;p&gt;It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the&amp;nbsp;potential risks. &lt;/p&gt;
  18520. &lt;p&gt;Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.&lt;/p&gt;
  18521. &lt;p&gt;No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.&lt;/p&gt;
  18522. &lt;p&gt;If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  18523. &lt;p&gt;Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  18524. &lt;p&gt;Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.&lt;/p&gt;

  18699.  
  18700.  
  18701. &lt;p&gt;He added: “The two children are our main focus. Their welfare and their security is paramount to us. We will do everything we can with their support and their safety.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18702.  
  18703.  
  18704.  
  18705. &lt;p&gt;A neighbour across the street from the burning car said he heard &amp;#8220;a loud bang&amp;#8221; and saw a vehicle &amp;#8220;engulfed in flames&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18706.

  18767. &lt;p&gt;A global superstar DJ has let slip that he&amp;#8217;ll be playing this year&amp;#8217;s Glastonbury Festival- following an online interaction with a fan.&lt;/p&gt;
  18768.  
  18769.  
  18770.  
  18771. &lt;p&gt;The DJ in question, who also owns a motorsport brand, was answering questions on the brand&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; page, when he let the cat out of the bag.&lt;/p&gt;

  18783. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to DJ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/music/27545851/paul-oakenfold-and-carl-cox-unite/&quot;&gt;Carl Cox&lt;/a&gt;, via his instagram page for Carl Cox Motorsport,  one person asked: &amp;#8220;We getting a mobile disco set at Glasto, or hybrid?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18784.  
  18785.  
  18786.  
  18787. &lt;p&gt;Carl, 62, then replied: &amp;#8220;Mobile disco set&amp;#8221;, with a raised hand emoji.&lt;/p&gt;
  18788.  
  18789.  
  18790.  
  18791. &lt;p&gt;This prompts another fan to express their approval, saying: &amp;#8220;Excellent, love the mobile disco sets and have missed them the last couple of years. I’m sure he might pop up more than once.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18792.  
  18793.  
  18794.  
  18795. &lt;p&gt;In 2023, and with his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glastonbury/&quot;&gt;Glastonbury&lt;/a&gt; slot not yet announced, Carl was asked on Facebook: &amp;#8220;Will we be seeing you at Glastonbury, Carl?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18796.  
  18797.  
  18798.  
  18799. &lt;p&gt;To which he replied: &amp;#8220;Yes, I will be playing on Friday night and the Glade stage.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  18800.  
  18801.  
  18802.  
  18803. &lt;p&gt;And the year prior, Carl not only said he would be playing ahead of any official confirmation, but also revealed the entire 2022 Arcadia line-up by sharing a poster online.&lt;/p&gt;

  18839. &lt;p&gt;However, this year&amp;#8217;s line-up has not been met with universal approval, with some slamming the choice of artists.&lt;/p&gt;
  18840.  
  18841.  
  18842.  
  18843. &lt;p&gt;One person said on X: &amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s gotta be the worst #Glastonbury like up I&amp;#8217;ve ever seen.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18848.  
  18849.  
  18850.  
  18851. &lt;p&gt;While another asked: &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/oasis/&quot;&gt;Oasis&lt;/a&gt;? &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/madonna/&quot;&gt;Madonna&lt;/a&gt;?

  18895. &lt;p&gt;EASTER holiday travel chaos has struck across the UK as millions of Brits set off for breaks over the long weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  18896.  
  18897.  
  18898.  
  18899. &lt;p&gt;Travellers have had to battle through &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34535205/gatwick-airport-strikes-easter-travel-chaos/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;strike-hit airports&lt;/a&gt; and horrendous traffic queues this morning, with roads expected to be the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34484895/bank-holiday-travel-chaos/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;busiest for an Easter weekend since 2022&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18912.  
  18913.  
  18914.  
  18915. &lt;p&gt;Gatwick Airport in London, Britain&amp;#8217;s second busiest airport, is facing strike action from airport staff, which could lead to around 50 flights being disrupted each day.&lt;/p&gt;
  18916.  
  18917.  
  18918.  
  18919. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Over 100 Red Handling staff members are striking over unpaid&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pensions/&quot;&gt;pensions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, late payments and “illegal” shift patterns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18920.  
  18921.  
  18922.  
  18923. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The strike, organised by&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;union &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31483356/unite-union-legal-battle-labours-axe-winter-fuel-payments/&quot;&gt;Unite&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; will affect baggage handlers, check-in agents and flight dispatchers working with airlines such as Norwegian, Delta, TAP and Air Peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18924.  
  18925.  
  18926.  
  18927. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34530079/birmingham-bin-workers-strike-threat/&quot;&gt;Industrial action&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;will take place from today and will continue until the early hours of Tuesday, April 22.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18928.  
  18929.  
  18930.  
  18931. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34491179/train-station-easter-travel-passengers/&quot;&gt;Hundreds of holidaymakers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;hoping to jet off from the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34470830/airport-strike-action-easter-holiday/&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;UK&amp;#8217;s largest airport&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;are likely to be affected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18932.  
  18933.  
  18934.  
  18935. &lt;p&gt;Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: &amp;#8220;Workers have had enough of Red Handling playing fast and loose with their retirement plans and waiting weeks for pay they are rightfully owed for their hard work.&lt;/p&gt;
  18936.  
  18937.  
  18938.  
  18939. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The union will not stand back and watch members be treated in such an appalling way and they have the full support of Unite in this dispute.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18940.  
  18941.  
  18942.  
  18943. &lt;p&gt;A London Gatwick spokesperson said: &amp;#8220;We are aware of the recent ballot results and the planned industrial action by Red Handling UK which will impact thousands of passengers during one of our busiest times of year.&lt;/p&gt;
  18944.  
  18945.  
  18946.  
  18947. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are supporting the airlines impacted, who hold the contracts directly with Red Handling, with their contingency plans.&lt;/p&gt;
  18948.  
  18949.  
  18950.  
  18951. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Passengers are advised to contact their airlines directly for latest information.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18964.  
  18965.  
  18966.  
  18967. &lt;p&gt;Drivers have also been warned to set off early on their travels and to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34512400/easter-traffic-delays-best-time-leave-home-travel/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;plan in advance&lt;/a&gt; amid congestion on the roads.&lt;/p&gt;
  18968.  
  18969.  
  18970.  
  18971. &lt;p&gt;Traffic is also set to be at its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34451081/easter-weekend-avoid-traffic-hotspots/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;highest level in three years&lt;/a&gt; for the holiday period, with a whopping 19 million travellers expected to make journeys, according to the RAC.&lt;/p&gt;
  18972.  
  18973.  
  18974.  
  18975. &lt;p&gt;Lunchtime on Good Friday is expected to have the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34484895/bank-holiday-travel-chaos/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;lengthiest hold-ups&lt;/a&gt;, meaning those behind the wheel should plan to set off early in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  18976.  
  18977.  
  18978.  
  18979. &lt;p&gt;Popular routes are likely to experience tailbacks including the A303 westbound to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/32414425/stonehenge-puzzle-solved-scientists-mysterious-altar/&quot;&gt;Stonehenge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the M5 southbound J15 at the RAC tower north of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/bristol/&quot;&gt;Bristol&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18980.  
  18981.  
  18982.  
  18983. &lt;p&gt;Journey times are likely to be nearly an hour longer for both meaning some could be stuck in their vehicles for more than half as long as usual.&lt;/p&gt;
  18984.  
  18985.  
  18986.  
  18987. &lt;p&gt;Queues could be seen forming at the Port of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/dover/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dover&lt;/a&gt; as many sought to get away for the long weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  18988.  
  18989.  
  18990.  
  18991. &lt;p&gt;In a post on X, the port warned of &amp;#8220;extended processing times&amp;#8221; at Border Control with around a 40-minute wait both before the border and at the P&amp;amp;O Ferries check-in.&lt;/p&gt;
  18992.  
  18993.  
  18994.  
  18995. &lt;p&gt;The AA previously estimated nearly 20 million people would travel by car on Good Friday alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  18996.  
  18997.  
  18998.  
  18999. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/32536071/rac-warning-drivers-christmas-january-breakdown/&quot;&gt;RAC&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;breakdown spokesperson Alice Simpson said:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;We’re still expecting to see extremely high levels of traffic from Thursday onwards, with the greatest number of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34515760/easter-pollen-bomb-gps-tips-prepare-hay-fever/&quot;&gt;Easter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;getaway trips planned for three years.&lt;/p&gt;
  19000.  
  19001.  
  19002.  
  19003. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Drivers shouldn’t expect to escape the queues if they don’t plan the best time to set off.&lt;/p&gt;
  19004.  
  19005.  
  19006.  
  19007. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s always best to travel as early as possible in the morning or later in the day when most of the traffic has eased, especially if headed to popular holiday destinations such as the West Country, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19008.  
  19009.  
  19010.  
  19011. &lt;p&gt;Port of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/dover/&quot;&gt;Dover&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;chief executive Doug Bannister said they are preparing for around 5,500 cars on just Friday alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  19012.  
  19013.  
  19014.  
  19015. &lt;p&gt;The M6 is expected to be packed around the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/blackpool/&quot;&gt;Blackpool&lt;/a&gt; area, as is the M25 in its south and western sections, the M5 at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/bristol/&quot;&gt;Bristol&lt;/a&gt;, and the A303 in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/wiltshire/&quot;&gt;Wiltshire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19016.

  19027. &lt;p&gt;Train travellers are also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34516234/major-stations-disruption-easter-bank-holiday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;expected to face major disruption&lt;/a&gt; this weekend, as more than 300 projects are underway across the railway network.&lt;/p&gt;

  19031. &lt;p&gt;The hundreds of projects are being carried out by Network Rail as part of its Easter engineering works between Good Friday and Easter Monday.&lt;/p&gt;

  19036.  
  19037.  
  19038.  
  19039. &lt;p&gt;It means passengers will be unable to access the UK&amp;#8217;s 10th busiest railway station for long-distance travel, while renewals of overhead electric lines and improvements to drainage take place.&lt;/p&gt;
  19040.  
  19041.  
  19042.  
  19043. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34459859/major-uk-train-station-travel-weekend-easter-chaos/&quot;&gt;Liverpool Lime Street will also close on Easter Sunday&lt;/a&gt; due to railway upgrades taking place, making travel more difficult across the north-west.&lt;/p&gt;
  19044.  
  19045.  
  19046.  
  19047. &lt;p&gt;Platforms 1 to 8 at London Victoria will be closed throughout the bank holiday, with Southeastern trains diverted to London Bridge or London Cannon Street.&lt;/p&gt;
  19048.  
  19049.  
  19050.  
  19051. &lt;p&gt;Routes around &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/southampton/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Southampton&lt;/a&gt; and Brockenhurst will also be hit by closures.&lt;/p&gt;
  19052.  
  19053.  
  19054.  
  19055. &lt;p&gt;Helen Hamlin, Network Rail&amp;#8217;s director of system operations, said: &amp;#8220;The vast majority of the rail network will be open as usual for people wanting to travel over the Easter bank holiday, but there will be changes to services in some areas so we&amp;#8217;re asking passengers to plan ahead and check before they travel.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19056.  
  19057.  
  19058.  
  19059. &lt;p&gt;She added that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/easter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Easter&lt;/a&gt; presented a key opportunity to carry out works because passenger numbers are lower and the double bank holiday allows more time for upgrades.&lt;/p&gt;
  19060.  
  19061.  
  19062.  
  19063. &lt;p&gt;There are also concerns that railways, as well as roads, could face delays amid a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34535676/easter-weather-weekend-holiday-rain-met-office-cornwall/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;yellow weather warning for torrential rain&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  19080.  
  19081.  
  19082.

  19084.  
  19085.  
  19086.  
  19087. &lt;p&gt;Beachgoers could be in for a washout as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/31548702/cornwall-950-hols-pubs-beaches/&quot;&gt;popular tourist towns&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;such as Truro,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34354417/popular-hotel-uk-seaside-resort-shut-down-newquay/&quot;&gt;Newquay&lt;/a&gt;, Falmouth, and St Austell have been warned of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34501366/met-office-easter-rain-sunshine-return/&quot;&gt;heavy rain&lt;/a&gt;, which could &amp;#8220;interrupt power supplies&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19088.  
  19089.  
  19090.  
  19091. &lt;p&gt;Further along the coast, cities such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/29896498/exeter-popular-staycation-glamping-destination-devon/&quot;&gt;Exeter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Plymouth, as well as the seaside town of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34431248/seaside-town-worst-uk-empty-shops/&quot;&gt;Torquay&lt;/a&gt;, are also at risk of the &amp;#8220;heavy and persistent&amp;#8221; rainfall.&lt;/p&gt;

  19094.  
  19095. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather/&quot;&gt;The Met Office&lt;/a&gt; has warned that the torrential conditions could make driving &amp;#8220;difficult&amp;#8221; and cause &amp;#8220;some disruption to travel&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19096.  
  19097.  
  19098.  
  19099. &lt;p&gt;This is due to potential spray and flooding on roads, which could increase journey times.&lt;/p&gt;
  19100.  
  19101.  
  19102.  
  19103. &lt;p&gt;The forecaster also warned that bus and train services would likely be affected, similarly making &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/travel-delays-strikes-and-disruption/&quot;&gt;journey times&lt;/a&gt; longer.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  19169. &lt;p&gt;And now that spring is well underway and we&amp;#8217;ve had a burst of sunshine in recent weeks, many of us will be keen to get back in our outdoor spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
  19170.  
  19171.  
  19172.  
  19173. &lt;p&gt;Which means now is the perfect time to dust off the cobwebs, clean all the furniture down and give the garden a glow up.&lt;/p&gt;
  19174.  
  19175.  
  19176.  
  19177. &lt;p&gt;And in a bid to help, experts have shared their top hacks for decorating all styles of gardens.&lt;/p&gt;

  19182.  
  19183.  
  19184.  
  19185. &lt;p&gt;This is because sunlight impacts the plant life, colours, and shading in your garden.&lt;/p&gt;
  19186.  
  19187.  
  19188.  
  19189. &lt;p&gt;And this is key to knowing just the right way to decorate it.&lt;/p&gt;
  19190.  
  19191.  
  19192.  
  19193. &lt;p&gt;So whether you have a garden that faces north, south, east or west, Lucy has you covered.&lt;/p&gt;

  19195.  
  19196.  
  19197. &lt;p&gt;She has revealed her top tips for each direction so you can take your outdoor decor to a professional level with no effort.&lt;/p&gt;

  19202.  
  19203.  
  19204.  
  19205. &lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#8217;s start with gardens that are south-facing &amp;#8211; these are the most desired gardens because they get the sunshine all day.&lt;/p&gt;
  19206.  
  19207.  
  19208.  
  19209. &lt;p&gt;With this in mind, Lucy says you&amp;#8217;ll want to pick up things that thrive in sunlight.&lt;/p&gt;

  19233. &lt;p&gt;She says: &amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;An ideal sun trap, it’s no wonder that a south-facing garden is one of the most sought-after features when it comes to buying a home. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19234.  
  19235.  
  19236.  
  19237. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;You can tell when your garden is south-facing because it will get sunlight almost all day, with the sun rising on your left and setting on the right. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19238.  
  19239.  
  19240.  
  19241. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;There are a few things to consider when decorating a south-facing garden. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19242.  
  19243.  
  19244.  
  19245. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;They are exposed to lots more sunlight and heat than others, so it&amp;#8217;s important to choose sun-loving plants that will thrive in bright conditions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19246.  
  19247.  
  19248.  
  19249. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;A sunny garden screams out for a tropical makeover. &lt;/span&gt;Create a fun and vibrant space with garden furniture in summery and Mediterranean shades&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and build on those holiday vibes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19250.  
  19251.  
  19252.  
  19253. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;You can even&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;upcycle your old garden furniture&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;using paint to give it a new burst of life.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;

  19265. &lt;p&gt;These gardens get a lot less sunshine, so Lucy says you&amp;#8217;ll need to make sure that everything is bright to compensate for that.&lt;/p&gt;
  19266.  
  19267.  
  19268.  
  19269. &lt;p&gt;The expert explains: &amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;If your garden gets direct sunlight in the morning but is mostly shaded during midday and afternoon, it&amp;#8217;s likely north-facing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19270.  
  19271.  
  19272.  
  19273. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;If you live in a home with a north-facing garden, you’ll have noticed two main issues: the darkness and the cold. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19274.  
  19275.  
  19276.  
  19277. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;But that doesn’t mean your garden will be dull. When decorating, you’ll need to be particular about the plants you buy, making sure to fill your basket with shade-loving plants, like ferns, shade annuals, begonias, bleeding hearts, or low-light tropicals. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19278.  
  19279.  
  19280.  
  19281. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;In terms of colour, bright shades are the way forward. Colours like&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;bright pink&lt;span&gt;,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;teal&lt;span&gt;, and yellow will be perfect for bringing out the most light in a north-facing garden and making sure it feels full of life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19282.  
  19283.  
  19284.  
  19285. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;Painting your patio is a great way to brighten up a darker garden, you can even try using a lighter shade on pattern pavers and stencil on a pattern for that extra level of interest and design.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;

  19293. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;West-facing gardens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  19294.  
  19295.  
  19296.  
  19297. &lt;p&gt;Those with a west-facing garden will need to make sure they are ready for heat, Lucy advises.&lt;/p&gt;
  19298.  
  19299.  
  19300.  
  19301. &lt;p&gt;She suggests: &amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;Some gardeners and designers will try to avoid west-facing positions where possible, due to its blazing hot afternoons in summer, as the sun sets on the west. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19302.  
  19303.  
  19304.  
  19305. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But fear not; there are plenty of tips and tricks that can make a west-facing garden perfect. &lt;/p&gt;
  19306.  
  19307.  
  19308.  
  19309. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Heat-tolerant&lt;span&gt; plants are an absolute must, so potting basil, marigolds, zinnias, salvia, and okra are a great option. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19310.  
  19311.  
  19312.  
  19313. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;West-facing gardens will struggle to get natural shade at the hottest point of the day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19314.  
  19315.  
  19316.  
  19317. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;T&lt;span&gt;hat&amp;#8217;s why introducing some garden shade can be wise and allow you to still enjoy your outdoor space even in sweltering temperatures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19318.  
  19319.  
  19320.  
  19321. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;With the afternoon sun, you’ll want warm colours that complement the golden hour, so opt for colours like&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;orange&lt;span&gt;,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;warm neutrals&lt;span&gt;, or&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;earthy tones&lt;span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19322.  
  19323.  
  19324.  
  19325. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;Avoid overly cool or bright colours that might appear flat or washed out in the evening.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
  19326.  
  19327.  
  19328.

  19337. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  19338. IF you want to make sure that you don&amp;#039;t accidentally ruin your outdoor furniture during the hot weather then you might want to take note. &lt;/p&gt;
  19340. &lt;div&gt;
  19341. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Experts have revealed that there is a huge garden mistake you could be making during the hot temperatures that could wreck your outdoor&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;space&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19342. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Since&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Scotland&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;gets a lot of wet and windy&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;weather&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8211; at the tail end of the year &amp;#8211; most homeowners cover up their beloved garden furniture over&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;winter&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19343. &lt;p&gt;But leaving this on when the weather is hot and sunny could actually cause anything that is under it to MELT.&lt;/p&gt;
  19344. &lt;p&gt;As a result, outdoor expert Andrew White from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harbourlifestyle.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Harbour Lifestyle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has urged homeowners to remove their covers now before they permanently damage their outdoor furniture.&lt;/p&gt;
  19345. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;When the temperature is rising, it is&amp;nbsp;important to remove your garden furniture covers.&lt;/p&gt;
  19346. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Most garden furniture covers are lined with PVC to repel the elements during wet weather.&lt;/p&gt;
  19347. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But when they are placed under a direct heat source such as the sun, they can actually melt and leave a residue or stain on your furnishings.&lt;/p&gt;
  19348. &lt;p&gt;“Some materials in lower quality, less expensive furnishings can become brittle if left in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.&lt;/p&gt;
  19349. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To prevent fading and breakage, you should ensure your furniture is well-shaded during sunny periods.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19350. &lt;/div&gt;
  19351. &lt;/div&gt;
  19352. &lt;/div&gt;
  19354.  
  19355.  
  19356.  
  19357. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;East-facing gardens&lt;/h2&gt;
  19358.  
  19359.  
  19360.  
  19361. &lt;p&gt;Those with an east-facing garden will notice that it&amp;#8217;s warming in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  19362.  
  19363.  
  19364.  
  19365. &lt;p&gt;To best decorate it, Lucy says: &amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;Arguably one of the most ideally placed gardens, there’s a lot you can do with an east-facing outdoor space. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19366.  
  19367.  
  19368.  
  19369. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;East-facing gardens get sunlight in the morning and are shaded in the afternoon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19370.  
  19371.  
  19372.  
  19373. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;With a mixture of sun and shade, there are so many ways to create a thriving east-facing garden. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19374.  
  19375.  
  19376.  
  19377. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;If you’re looking to exaggerate the warmth of the garden, paint colours with warm undertones like yellows, pinks, or&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reds&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;can help counter the cooler morning light, while cooler tones like&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;blues&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;or&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;greens&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;can be used for a calming effect, especially if you use the garden predominantly in the evening. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19378.  
  19379.  
  19380.  
  19381. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;East gardens are great to try a few vegetable crops. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19382.  
  19383.  
  19384.  
  19385. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and Swiss chard will do amazingly here, so why not try making your own vegetable patch!&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;

  19441.

  19448. &lt;p&gt;All you need to do is spot the rabbit holding a piece of broccoli instead.&lt;/p&gt;

  19452. &lt;p&gt;Of course, with the colourful yellow background and repeating pattern, it isn’t too easy to do in a hurry.&lt;/p&gt;

  19547. &lt;div&gt;
  19548. &lt;p&gt;Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.&lt;/p&gt;
  19549. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some benefits include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19550. &lt;ul&gt;
  19551. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cognitive stimulation&lt;/strong&gt;: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.&lt;/li&gt;
  19552. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Problem-solving skills&lt;/strong&gt;: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.&lt;/li&gt;
  19553. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Memory improvement:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.&lt;/li&gt;
  19554. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creativity:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.&lt;/li&gt;
  19555. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Focus and attention:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.&lt;/li&gt;
  19556. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stress relief:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.&lt;/li&gt;
  19557. &lt;/ul&gt;
  19558. &lt;/div&gt;

  19601. &lt;p&gt;THIS is the moment Sixth Sense child star Haley Joel Osment claimed he had been &amp;#8220;kidnapped&amp;#8221; by cops after being arrested at a ski resort. &lt;/p&gt;
  19602.  
  19603.  
  19604.

  19618.  
  19619.  
  19620.  
  19621. &lt;p&gt;A cop, grabbing Osment, says: &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;re under arrest now for public intox.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19622.  
  19623.  
  19624.  
  19625. &lt;p&gt;The wobbly actor then drops to his knees &amp;#8211; with officers ordering him back to his feet.&lt;/p&gt;
  19626.  
  19627.  
  19628.  
  19629. &lt;p&gt;Osment is heard saying: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m not fighting, I&amp;#8217;m not fighting you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19630.  
  19631.  
  19632.  
  19633. &lt;p&gt;The cops then find a package &amp;#8211; which they say they believe contains cocaine.&lt;/p&gt;
  19634.  
  19635.  
  19636.  
  19637. &lt;p&gt;Strapping a shabby-looking Osment into the car seat, an officer asks: &amp;#8220;Where are you living right now?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19638.  
  19639.  
  19640.  
  19641. &lt;p&gt;Osment replies: &amp;#8220;Why do you ask?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19642.  
  19643.  
  19644.  
  19645. &lt;p&gt;In a later clip, as an officer drives back to the station, the suspect wails: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve been kidnapped by a f****ng Nazi.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19646.  
  19647.  
  19648.  
  19649. &lt;p&gt;Osment claims: &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;re torturing me,&amp;#8221; as he sits safely in the back of the cop car.&lt;/p&gt;
  19650.  
  19651.  
  19652.  
  19653. &lt;p&gt;He also threatens that the officer, saying: &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;ll wish you treated me nicer,&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;re gonna regret this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19654.  
  19655.  
  19656.  
  19657. &lt;p&gt;The Sixth Sense star was taken into custody by cops in Mammoth Lakes on April 8.&lt;/p&gt;

  20060.

  20064.  
  20065.  
  20066.  
  20067. &lt;p&gt;In the final four weeks before filming, Mark was on an 11,000 calories a day&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/diet-fitness/&quot;&gt;diet&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of burgers and ice-cream.&lt;/p&gt;

  20072.  
  20073.  
  20074.  
  20075. &lt;p&gt;“I transitioned from running the streets as a teenager and young adult to finding my faith.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  20077.

  20144.  
  20145.  
  20146.  
  20147. &lt;p&gt;Woffy, 34, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34148136/tai-woffinden-crash-speedway-airlifted-to-hospital/&quot;&gt;was airlifted to hospital in Krosno in Poland&lt;/a&gt; and underwent emergency surgery after suffering numerous fractures and a chest injury in a track pile-up on March 30. &lt;/p&gt;
  20148.  
  20149.  
  20150.  
  20151. &lt;p&gt;He was put in a medically-induced coma as he recovered from three major operations.&lt;/p&gt;
  20152.  
  20153.  
  20154.  
  20155. &lt;p&gt;But as he left hospital on crutches, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34442122/speedway-tai-woffinden-out-coma-crash/&quot;&gt;with his voice still clearly affected by the injuries&lt;/a&gt;, he said: “We’re out of here. Last day in hospital. Next stop rehabilitation. Let’s go.&lt;/p&gt;
  20156.  
  20157.  
  20158.  
  20159. &lt;p&gt;“Can&amp;#8217;t thank the staff enough at Kliniczny Szpital Wojewodzki nr2 im swietej Jadwigi Krolowej w Rzeszowie Hospital enough for all the work they have done on me over the past weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  20160.  
  20161.  
  20162.  
  20163. &lt;p&gt;“I’m checking out right now and the rehab begins on Sunday. Excuse the robot voice don’t [know] when it’s gonna get better.”&lt;/p&gt;
  20164.  
  20165.  
  20166.  
  20167. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this week Woffinden also admitted the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34476481/tai-woffinden-walks-coma-injuries-speedway-crash/&quot;&gt;alarming amount of injuries he sustained in the track incident&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20168.  
  20169.  
  20170.  
  20171. &lt;p&gt;It included 12 broken ribs, a double compound femur fracture, a punctured lung and a shattered right elbow,&lt;/p&gt;
  20172.  
  20173.  
  20174.  
  20175. &lt;p&gt;Woffinden had earlier revealed that he needs more time to absorb the magnitude of his injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

  20187. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  20188. Here&amp;#039;s a look at the full diagnosis that Woffinden shared with fans online... &lt;/p&gt;
  20190. &lt;div&gt;
  20191. &lt;ul&gt;
  20192. &lt;li&gt;Double compound right femur fracture (pinned and bolted)&lt;/li&gt;

  20199. &lt;li&gt;Dislocated left shoulder&lt;/li&gt;
  20200. &lt;/ul&gt;
  20201. &lt;/div&gt;
  20202. &lt;/div&gt;
  20203. &lt;/div&gt;
  20205.  
  20206.  
  20207.  
  20208. &lt;p&gt;He said: “Hey guys, turns out my injuries and an induced coma ain’t no joke.&lt;/p&gt;
  20209.  
  20210.  
  20211.  
  20212. &lt;p&gt;“I’m on the mend, but please bear with me for now. I just need a little more time to rest and gather my thoughts. I’ll update you all later on in the week.&lt;/p&gt;

  20241.  
  20242.  
  20243.

  20245.  
  20246.  
  20247.  
  20248. &lt;p&gt;“It’s either so good or sometimes it can go so bad, but we all know the risks, and it’s horrible to see something like that happen, and especially him.&lt;/p&gt;
  20249.  
  20250.  
  20251.  
  20252. &lt;p&gt;“But I’m sure every rider, we all wish him the best and the likes he’d come back from.”&lt;/p&gt;
  20253.  
  20254.  
  20255.

  20257.  
  20258.  
  20259.  
  20260. &lt;p&gt;“He’s been unlucky with how things have gone the last few years, and I know he’s been working hard to come back strong.&lt;/p&gt;
  20261.  
  20262.  
  20263.  
  20264. &lt;p&gt;“Every time he’s tried to do so, he gets another kick in the backside, which is not good.&lt;/p&gt;
  20265.  
  20266.  
  20267.  
  20268. &lt;p&gt;“Hopefully he’s stable and everything is going to be going in a positive direction for him now.”&lt;/p&gt;

  20327. &lt;p&gt;A SUGAR baby has lifted the lid on her controversial hobby – saying she is given tens of thousands of pounds in lavish gifts and trips.&lt;/p&gt;
  20328.  
  20329.  
  20330.  
  20331. &lt;p&gt;But despite public perception, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/29387686/nova-jewels-naked-sunbather-scotland/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Nova Jewels (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Nova Jewels&lt;/a&gt; claims her companionship doesn’t come with sexual favours.&lt;/p&gt;

  20340.  
  20341.  
  20342.  
  20343. &lt;p&gt;In fact, the 29-year-old claims one benefactor paid her rent for months despite the pair never meeting in the flesh.&lt;/p&gt;
  20344.  
  20345.  
  20346.  
  20347. &lt;p&gt;“My experience has been amazing beyond belief,” Nova, from Dundee, said.&lt;/p&gt;
  20348.  
  20349.  
  20350.  
  20351. &lt;p&gt;“I am in full control of every single situation.&lt;/p&gt;
  20352.  
  20353.  
  20354.  
  20355. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t want a relationship at this stage in my life so why on earth would I date random men for free when I don’t want to pursue anything, when I can date random wealthy businessmen for a night, for an income and for an experience that other men can’t offer?”&lt;/p&gt;
  20356.  
  20357.  
  20358.  
  20359. &lt;p&gt;The arrangement typically involves Nova accompanying a wealthy man on holiday or to an event, and she estimates she is gifted £40,000 worth of cash, gifts or experiences over the course of a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  20360.  
  20361.  
  20362.  
  20363. &lt;p&gt;She said: “I’m not into designer items so this lifestyle is all about the cash and holidays for me.&lt;/p&gt;
  20364.  
  20365.  
  20366.  
  20367. &lt;p&gt;“I got a Rolex once and honestly, I couldn’t have been less interested in it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  20368.  
  20369.  
  20370.  
  20371. &lt;p&gt;In the past year alone, Nova has been skiing in Italy, to events in Monaco, a trip to Bali, a holiday in Portugal and a city break in Milan.&lt;/p&gt;
  20372.  
  20373.  
  20374.  
  20375. &lt;p&gt;As well as luxurious vacations, her day to day costs are covered too, with her ‘sugar daddies’ covering her bills and even rent.&lt;/p&gt;
  20376.  
  20377.  
  20378.  
  20379. &lt;p&gt;She said: “I had a guy a couple of years ago who was an ‘online only’ sugar daddy and he literally used to pay my rent for me every month.&lt;/p&gt;

  20404.  
  20405.  
  20406.  
  20407. &lt;p&gt;“He used to just send the money direct to one of my accounts and that was his thrill for the month.&lt;/p&gt;

  20415. &lt;p&gt;Despite what people assume, Nova insists that nothing sexual takes place between her and her ‘sugar daddies’.&lt;/p&gt;
  20416.  
  20417.  
  20418.  
  20419. &lt;p&gt;She said: “This is the part that people don’t believe: these men don’t even want sex.&lt;/p&gt;
  20420.  
  20421.  
  20422.  
  20423. &lt;p&gt;“I have come across multiple reasons for this, the first one being that I make it perfectly clear that is not something that I offer.&lt;/p&gt;
  20424.  
  20425.  
  20426.  
  20427. &lt;p&gt;“The sugar daddies I have had encounters with have been more than happy with this rule due to different personal reasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  20428.  
  20429.  
  20430.  
  20431. &lt;p&gt;“They [may] have a sexual partner already, or they get a thrill off of paying a girl who they know doesn’t want them sexually.&lt;/p&gt;

  20440.  
  20441.  
  20442.

  20444.  
  20445.  
  20446.  
  20447. &lt;p&gt;“I do it for a bit of sexy fun and I only ever do it with men who can contribute something productive and beneficial to my life.&lt;/p&gt;
  20448.  
  20449.  
  20450.  
  20451. &lt;p&gt;“These men have to take me to events where I can network and move in circles that I wouldn’t move in under normal circumstances.”&lt;/p&gt;
  20452.  
  20453.  
  20454.  
  20455. &lt;p&gt;Nova has been a sugar baby for over four years, having first fallen into it after losing her job as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/23730320/wedding-expert-judges-brides-guest-list-circus/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;wedding planner (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;wedding planner&lt;/a&gt; during lockdown.&lt;/p&gt;
  20456.  
  20457.  
  20458.  
  20459. &lt;p&gt;She met an admirer in a local bar and he suggested a ‘business agreement’ involving her attending an event with him as “a bit of eye candy”.&lt;/p&gt;
  20460.  
  20461.  
  20462.  
  20463. &lt;p&gt;Nova said: “I always trust my gut and after speaking to him in person and on the phone for a substantial length of time I was positive that he was a genuine guy who wanted a genuine set up, and I was right.&lt;/p&gt;
  20464.  
  20465.  
  20466.  
  20467. &lt;p&gt;“He was a single businessman who was always attending events but never had a woman to have on his arm.&lt;/p&gt;
  20468.  
  20469.  
  20470.  
  20471. &lt;p&gt;“I am a girl who loves a thrill so you better believe I jumped at the opportunity – and so it all began.&lt;/p&gt;
  20472.  
  20473.  
  20474.  
  20475. &lt;p&gt;“Some people just naturally attract certain things and I seem to naturally attract rich men.&lt;/p&gt;
  20476.  
  20477.  
  20478.  
  20479. &lt;p&gt;“I get £40,000 just to go on some hot dates and local men wonder why I won’t let them waste my time for free at Nando’s!”&lt;/p&gt;
  20480.  
  20481.  
  20482.  
  20483. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/pollingwidgets/v3/widget.js?question_id=112358&amp;#038;game=polling&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  20484.  
  20485.  
  20486.  
  20487. &lt;p&gt;Nova also earns around £50,000 a year sharing adult content on OnlyFans and adult webcamming.&lt;/p&gt;
  20488.  
  20489.  
  20490.  
  20491. &lt;p&gt;But for Nova, her earnings aren’t a concern, with the creator having tens of thousands of pounds spent on her by her wealthy dates.&lt;/p&gt;
  20492.  
  20493.  
  20494.  
  20495. &lt;p&gt;And despite loving her hobby, she has warned that it isn’t for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  20496.  
  20497.  
  20498.  
  20499. &lt;p&gt;She added: “Please don’t be fooled by the fabricated stories that you see online.&lt;/p&gt;
  20500.  
  20501.  
  20502.  
  20503. &lt;p&gt;“This is something that has naturally and organically developed into my lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;
  20504.  
  20505.  
  20506.  
  20507. &lt;p&gt;“You have to be switched on to do this kind of thing and you need to associate with the correct kind of clientele.&lt;/p&gt;
  20508.  
  20509.  
  20510.  
  20511. &lt;p&gt;“I hear about girls sitting online looking for sugar daddies because they want hundreds of thousands of pounds sent to them.&lt;/p&gt;
  20512.  
  20513.  
  20514.  
  20515. &lt;p&gt;“That’s a fake illusion and you can be getting yourself into dangerous situations being as naive as that.&lt;/p&gt;
  20516.  
  20517.  
  20518.  
  20519. &lt;p&gt;“Don’t get me wrong, I&amp;#8217;m sure there are women out there doing it to a much higher scale and getting paid obscene amounts of money but unless I experience it for myself, I take it all with a pinch of salt.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
