JOSIE GIBSON is returning to Channel 4 �?14 years after finding fame on Big Brother when the reality show, now at ITV, was on that channel.

They will review the latest festive buys for all budgets, offer money and time-saving hacks and reveal this year’s must-haves in collaboration with Smyths Toys Superstores.

Josie said of next month’s two-parter: “I love Christmas, so hopefully this show will help take out some of the stress. There’ll be festive laughs and great guests.�?lt;/p>

In September, Gibson hinted they won’t be returning to This Morning after landing a surprising new solo job.

Josie was embarking on a journey exploring luxury travel, which meant she would step away from her This Morning spot for a while.

The solo show will look at first class airlines, five, six and even seven star hotels and premium airline seats.

The series will be produced by Honey Bee and Group M Motion Entertainment.

But it seemed Josie is more than happy about her new telly gig that delves into first class travel, as she shared: “I’ve got loads of things in the pipeline, I’m still very involved with This Morning, I’m very grateful for This Morning and everything they’ve helped me with because they grew me as a presenter.

“I should be around at Christmas on the [This Morning] sofa, so then I will get back on the road and try to make it all work as much as I can.

“It is going to be amazing because I’m going to be exploring how the other half live, like the first class travel.�?lt;/p>

She continued to tell Express.co.uk: “You know when you walk through the airplane and you think, I wonder what is that way? I’m going to be seeing all the stuff that is the other way.

“I love that I can still experience things like that and it absolutely shocks me.”

“It’s a tough gig, but someone’s got to do it,” she joked. “I’m so happy that they’ve asked me, I’m really happy!

“We’ve got quite a few destinations to go to, so yeah we start filming this week.”

DEAN McCullough is a BBC Radio 1 presenter who is one of the only openly gay personalities on the station.

The star will be appearing on the 2024 series of I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here alongside some of the biggest names on TV.

ITV/Yoshitaka Kono

Radio pioneer

Dean was born on July 9, 1992, and grew up in Newtonabbey in Northern Ireland.

He has opened up in the past about how he realised that he was gay at the age of 11 or 12, while attending Glengormley High School.

He began presenting an afternoon show on Gaydio, alongside Emma Goswell, in May 2018.

The pair started presenting the Gaydio breakfast show but decided to pass on the torch to new presenters in 2021.

Attitude Magazine has since awarded Dean with a prestigious “Top LGBTQ+ Broadcaster” award.

BBC career

He filled in for Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1 in December 2020, before being offered the chance to present the early breakfast show on Fridays for four weeks.

Eventually, he replaced Jordan North in hosting the station’s 10:30 to 13:00 slot.

In July 2022, Dean joined the Radio 1 afternoon show, which is broadcast from MediaCityUK in Salford.

Viewers are very familiar with Dean’s voice, but eagle-eyed viewers might recognise him from Britain’s Got Talent.

He reached the semi-final on the show, alongside his dance troupe known as The Glambassadors.

Dean’s sobriety

Dean is open about his decision to live as a sober man, because of a difficult relationship with alcohol.

He told Attitude Magazine about how drinking led to “crazy wild nights” which led him to “many a hotel room with many a man”.

He said that, in those situations, he would ask “how the f**k has this happened?”

I’m a Celebrity

Dean plans to use his time on I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here to promote sobriety.

The movement has become extremely popular amongst Gen Z, who are shrugging off alcohol for sober nights out.

The radio host said: “I haven’t drunk for four years and I am very happy to fly the flag for young people who don’t drink.

“I am happy to show how I do still go raving.”

The star will be heading to the jungle alongside some of the biggest names on TV.

He will be joined by Colleen Rooney, Tulisa, GK Barry and Danny Jones.

FORMER Reading boss Roger Smee is reportedly prepared to save the crisis-hit club with the help of a newly-formed consortium.

Smee, 76, spent four years playing for Reading in the 1960s and 70s before turning to a career in business.

Reading owner Dai Yongge (L) is trying to sell the club

He became chairman of the Royals in 1983 and spent seven years at the helm before making way for John Madejski.

However, the ex-forward is now willing to try and save the club from going bust.

According to the Reading Chronicle, Smee has formed a consortium with the hope of completing a takeover.

It is understood the 76-year-old has already been in contact with the Reading Supporters Trust amid his longstanding interest.

However, his consortium would only be willing to take over if Reading fall into administration.

The current price tag is deemed too high by Smee and his team.

Administration would make the club cheaper, but it would come with a 12-point deduction.

Issues would also arise over the Select Car Leasing Stadium and Bearwood Park due to club’s complex company structure.

It is not thought to be an immediate threat.

Reading owner Dai Yongge put the club up for sale over a year ago due to ongoing financial problems.

American lawyer Rob Couhig came close to securing a deal in September but withdrew after talks collapsed.

As previously announced by the club, an unnamed party is locked in talks.

Despite its hefty price tag however, the baked potato can be enjoyed completely free of charge this month if you head down to Hull bingo hall.

Ben Newman who goes by the name Spudman, and who has more than 5 million followers on social media, is the culinary wizard behind the spud.

Diners�?fury as posh London restaurant sells scrambled eggs on toast for £58

Diner were left fuming after discovering a posh London restaurant selling scrambled eggs on toast for £58.

HIDE in Mayfair is a Michelin-star restaurant which has caused a stir recently for its breakfast menu prices.

The customers were appalled to learn that the cost of scrambled eggs on toast might set them back a whopping £58.

The breakfast dish costs £36 a serving but the price rises even further to £58 if adding white truffle.

White truffles are known to be an extravagant food with one of the highest price tags.

The expensive fungi are difficult to grow and take years to cultivate, making them scarce and valuable.

He told Hull Live: “It’s been amazing to see so many people share in the love of a great jack pot, and now, thanks to Mecca Bingo, it’s a chance for everyone to enjoy a taste of something decadent and jackpot worthy – on the house!�?lt;/p>

“We’re thrilled to partner with Spudman on this luxurious new recipe that combines the ultimate comfort food with the excitement of a jackpot win!’�?lt;/p>

This comes as 70 per cent of Brits said they consider potatoes to be one of their favourite foods in winter.

More than half of those polled also said they often seek more “elevated” versions of the baked potato, according to research by Mecca Bingo.

KIM Kardashian looked incredible as she stripped down to see-through lingerie and a leopard print bra for her latest steamy shoot.

Reality star Kim, 44, put on a jaw-dropping display for her unveiling of the new Dolce&Gabbana x SKIMS collection, co-designed alongside fashion icons Domenico and Stefano.

Dolce&Gabbana x SKIMSShe unveiled the new Dolce&Gabbana x SKIMS collection today[/caption]

A year after their famous feud over the brand, businesswoman Kim was joined by her sister Kourtney, 45, for the campaign, with the pair wearing matching bold leopard-print catsuits.

Kourtney paired her mock neck dress paired with a coordinating headscarf, while she held on to Kim’s arm to strut the streets of Italy.

Sporting a beehive updo, Kim sizzled in thigh-high stockings for a solo shot, while another showed her leaning out of a window in a leopard-print bikini.

In another, she stripped down to white underwear as Kourtney tended to her locks in the street for all to see.

The collaboration, which is set for release on November 19, offers a variety of styles from the co-designed collection, including lustful lingerie, silky sleep sets, contouring pants and body-hugging corsets.

In a statement, Domenico and Stefano expressed their admiration for the Kardashians, saying, “We hold a genuine affection for Kim and her family.

“Our shared bond, rooted in a long-standing friendship, naturally inspired this new collaboration centered on inclusivity and body positivity – values close to our hearts and core to Skims.”

The partnership comes after years of ups and downs between the Kardashians and Dolce & Gabbana.

In 2019, Stefano made headlines by calling the Kardashian-Jenner clan “the most cheap people in the world�?on social media.

And in 2015, both he and Domenico faced backlash for comments about children born via in vitro fertilisation. Kim has two children through surrogacy.

But, in May’s 2022, the family’s relationship with the brand seemed to thaw when they hosted Kourtney’s wedding to Travis Barker.

The bride wore several Dolce & Gabbana gowns, and the entire KarJenners, including their children, wore a mix of new and vintage pieces for the event.

However, tensions resurfaced between Kim and Kourtney in the third season of Hulu’s The Kardashians, where Kourtney expressed her frustration with Kim’s ‘Ciao Kim’ fashion show, which debuted just months after Kourtney’s wedding.

She felt Kim was using the event as a business opportunity.

Despite their tensions, the sisters reconciled, with Kourtney even honoring Kim’s iconic 2013 Met Gala Givenchy gown for Halloween.

Kim and Kourtney's feud timeline

The Kardashian sisters are known to disagree and argue several times over their reality television show.

THE BENTLEY BRAWL

In 2008, Kim and Kourtney got into their first major television argument which involved Kim’s then new Bentley.

Khloe confronted the man helping Kim get into her car after he left them waiting, to which Kim did not defend her sisters.

“You’re so gross. All you care about is money,” Kourtney told Kim

Kourtney and Khloe argued back at Kim before she stormed off to Rob Kardashian’s apartment where the sisters continued to argue.

VIDEO GAME REFUSAL

The sisters clashed again in 2015 when Kim wanted all of her sisters to be involved in her video game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.

Kourtney refused to allow her figure to be used in the game, which made Kim angry.

Kourtney’s ex, Scott Disick, later told Kim that Kourtney wanted a pair of shoes from her.

“And I’m like ‘Buy her a f***ing pair of shoes, all the s*** I’ve done for her?’ I said to Scott ‘I’m not buying her a pair of shoes, I bought her a f***ing career!'” Kim later famously said on-screen.

As Complex reported, Kourtney sent Kim a cease and desist letter, but Kourtney did later appear in Kim’s game.

CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED

Kim and Kourtney underwent one of their most famous clashes in 2018, when Kim was trying to arrange a time to shoot the infamous Kardashian Christmas card, but Kourtney was being difficult on choosing a date.

“No one wants you in the f***ing shoot, I’m planning it. I’m planning the shoot. So we don’t want you in the shoot,” Kim shouted at her sister when she said she’d be leaving the event on her own time.

Their mom, Kris Jenner, jumped in and agreed Kourtney was being difficult.

“Maybe if you had a business that you were passionate about then you would know what it takes to run a f***ing business, but you don’t, so don’t even act like you know what I’m talking about!” Kim said in a scene that eventually became a viral meme.

“She doesn’t do s***, she doesn’t know what it’s like to actually have f***ing work to do,” Kim continued.

COPY KOURT?

In 2019, Kim accused Kourtney of copying her as she seemed to be “Picking out all the same clothes.”

“Yeah, I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’ve never dressed like you,” Kourtney replied.

“I don’t think Kourtney really understands like the leg work that goes behind this, like I don’t think anybody understands,” Kim said in a confessional.

“You have to really have a relationship with that designer. I’ve spent months and months flying to Miami to see what his vision is, so for her to jump in, I was just was like ‘Oh come on, she has no idea how this works.'”

The conversation got more heated until Kourtney admitted she sends clothes back if they’re too similar to Kim’s style.

LET’S GET PHYSICAL

Kim and Kourtney’s feud came to a blow when the sisters started a physical fight in 2020.

The sisters were sat in Khloe’s bedroom before Kim gave a jab at Kourtney’s work ethic and said she didn’t care about anything.

Kourtney got riled up before she stood and started fighting Kim.

Kim retaliated and Khloe had to pull the sisters apart.

NANNY ISSUES

In 2021, Kourtney expressed that she was unhappy with how the unnamed nanny had spoken to her then-youngest son, Reign.

Kim did not accept Kourtney’s accusations and said that she had spoken to the nanny who disagreed with Kourtney’s account.

“I like her, so she’s not getting fired. I like to keep my staff for a long time, so that’s how I feel,” Kim retaliated.

Kourtney said she would never let her be around her kids again, to which Kim told her to “Shut the f**k up.”

“You keep projecting all your bulls*** onto me” Kourtney shouted before leaving the room.

A WOMAN married to a prisoner got candid about their relationship and sex life.

The 26-year-old revealed that she has never so much as seen her husband without a shirt let alone slept with him.

TikTok user Lorra gave an insight into her marriage with a prison inmate, who she has never slept with

tiktok/@lorraandjosh

She explained that she and her husband can only have ‘phone sex’ while he serves the remainder of his sentence

tiktok/@lorraandjosh

In her viral video, Lorra (@lorraandjosh) recounted how she met her husband Josh, 21, who is currently serving time for secondary homicide in a US prison.

The TikToker began messaging the former drug dealer on a website for prison pen pals.

After exchanging hand-written letters and poetry, she flew from Dubai to the United States to meet him.

Lorra revealed that she married Josh in secret just six months after her first message.

However, the pair have yet to consummate their marriage and have only been allowed to kiss on their meetings.

She explained her views on intimacy within her marriage on the Excuse My Friend podcast.

Lorra told the podcast hosts that she hasn’t even seen her husband out of his prison uniform.

“I can send pictures, he can’t so I always get so mad, I have to use my imagination so intensely because I haven’t even seen him without his shirt on, not even that,” she said.

She explained that she is allowed to send pictures of herself in lingerie but inmates are not able to reciprocate.

Lorra added that having “phone sex” is the only form of intimacy she can enjoy with her husband.

However, she said the task is not without a level of awkwardness.

“You’re being recorded so whatever you do on the phone, someone is listening,” she said.

While Lorra waits for Josh to serve the remainder of his seven year sentence, she has come up with a creative way to combat her loneliness.

To feel her husband’s presence, the TikToker order a small plush toy with his face printed on it.

She shared clips of her sleeping with the toy and carrying it with her around her house.

UK Prison Brides

Tracey Bottomley married double murderer Ernest Otto Smith in the US after meeting through a prison pen pal initiative. Tracey, from West Yorks, knew he had been given a life sentence with no possibility of parole
Rebecca Short, from Oxfordshire, told her family she was on holiday in the US in 2022. Little did they know she was marrying double murderer Manuel Ovate Jr, who was on death row
Paula Williamson, an actress who appeared on Hollyoaks and Emmerdale, married the infamous Charles Bronson in 2017 after they became penpals
Karen Charves married Kenny Richey while he was on death row in 2014. He had been convicted for starting a fire in 1986 that killed his ex-girlfriend’s daughter, aged two. Karen and Kenny’s union did not last and she claimed he was abusive.
Naomi Wise, from Essex, married Victor Oquendo, nicknamed Animal, while he was serving a 24-year prison term in a US jail. They split up in 2022 but have now rekindled their romance

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the relationship in the comments section.

“I just want to know how down bad you have to be to date a man in prison,” wrote one viewer.

“You’re standards must be really low to marry a low life,” said another person.

“You do whatever makes you happy and don’t worry about what anyone else says, it’s none of their business,” commented a third follower.

“People don’t understand that not everyone in jail is a bad person,” said another TikTok user.

A WITNESS to the “kidnap” of a young girl has revealed the last sighting of the teen before she was bundled into a car two days ago.

The 5ft5 girl, believed to be in her mid-to-late teens, was seen being followed by a car along a lane in the Somerset town of Wincanton.

Its driver then got out and chased the girl along the lane – before she was forced into the vehicle, which drove off.

April Swan who runs The Millers Inn, just yards from where the incident took place, told how her CCTV cameras picked up images of a young girl walking past the pub at 10:24pm.

She said: “The girl had dark curly hair and looked very young to be out so late wearing only a t-shirt and jeans.

“I have two cameras outside the pub and they show her walking past the front door and then passing behind the bushes going onto The Batch.

“I told police about what I had seen but they were more interested in knowing if I had picked up any images of a car on my cameras.

“But there was nothing on there that showed a car going past.

“I’ve told them about the CCTV of the girl but they haven’t been round to view it.”

Cops have launched an urgent hunt for the girl after the scenes at around 10.30pm on Tuesday.

The man was white, in his early 20s, of medium build and slightly taller than the girl – with light brown hair falling below his ears.

The car was a dark-coloured, five-door hatchback and it is believed there were several people in it at the time.

April Swann who runs The Millers Inn, just yards from where the incident took place, told how her CCTV cameras picked up images of a young girl walking past the pub at 10:24pm.

She said: “The girl had dark curly hair and looked very young to be out so late wearing only a T-shirt and jeans.

“I have two cameras outside the pub and they show her walking past the front door and then passing behind the bushes going onto The Batch.”

Neighbourhood Inspector Rose Green said: “This incident will understandably cause significant concern.

“A thorough investigation is already well underway to fully establish the circumstances and ensure the girl is safe.

“Officers have been carrying out enquiries in the area today, including reviewing CCTV footage.

A MAFS UK groom has revealed he’s already returned to his very normal job after finding fame on the show.

Tonight will see the Married At First Sight UK gang come together for the final time in a second reunion episode.

E4The Sun revealed this week he and Lacey have split[/caption]

And Nathan Campbell has wasted no time in getting back to reality working as an engineer.

He took to Instagram to give followers a tour of his workplace at Watson Gym Equipment, where he’s worked for two years.

Nathan revealed how he uses his “ADHD and passion for fitness from a young age” to help when manufacturing gym equipment at work.

He was part of the strongest couple on this year’s MAFS UK, with it looking likely his marriage to Lacey Martin would work in the real world.

But The Sun told this week how they’d split off-camera.

A source said: �?lt;a href="//www.mcb777.site/tv/30882317/mafs-mother-in-law-lacey-speaks-out/">Nathan and Lacey really tried to make their relationship work in the real world but it just fizzled after a while.

“The final vows were filmed in February and they were still going strong in April when the reunion was shot, but since then they have called in quits.

“They were both sad it didn’t work out, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be.

“It’s also a big blow for fans who were really invested in their relationship.

“They were widely viewed as the strongest couple of the series so the news that they are no longer an item is such a shame.”

The shock split comes after it was revealed Lacey was rushed to hospital on the E4 show – in scenes that did not make it to air.

She recently took part in a Q&A on Instagram and asked what the most “shocking” thing that happened on set.

Lacey confessed: “Not much shocking things really, but regarding myself, I fainted on set!! “But all the crew/production looked after me!”

ROMAN Kemp is being courted by the BBC’s Director of Sport for a new role on Match Of The Day.

The move comes after Gary Lineker stepped down from his role as the host of the flagship football show after 25 years at the helm.

GettyRoman, 31, already has a large following online as the Beeb plan to modernise the programme[/caption]

Insiders said BBC boss Alex Kay-Jelski wanted TV star Roman, 31, for a digital role as the show modernises in the years to come.

A source said: “Match Of The Day is moving with the times and next season there will be more of a focus on digital highlights.

“Alex has been speaking with Roman about possibly coming on board and how it could work.

“Roman has a massive following online and is hugely popular with a younger audience thanks to his years hosting the Breakfast Show on Capital FM.

“He is also a huge Arsenal fan and knows what he is talking about when it comes to football.

“It is very much in the early stages but Match Of The Day is coming into a new digital age and Alex would love to have Roman front and centre.�?lt;/p>

The move comes after the BBC struck a new deal with the Premier League which means they will be able to share match highlights before Match Of The Day airs.

The agreement means that the BBC will be putting a renewed focus on their digital and social output.

Following Gary’s decision to step down this week, the BBC are now looking for a new host of the show.

The Sun revealed this week how MOTD2 host Mark Chapman was offered the role as a job share alongside rising star Kelly Somers �?but turned it down.

We first revealed how Gary, 63, had agreed to step away from Match Of The Day on Tuesday.

He will host MOTD until the end of the season and anchor the FA Cup in 2025 and 2026, along with fronting the BBC’s coverage of the next World Cup.

Roman has a massive following online and is hugely popular with a younger audience thanks to his years hosting the Breakfast Show on Capital FM

Gary will continue to host the MOTD Top Ten podcast and the BBC will also now host his popular The Rest is Football podcast on BBC Sounds.

The podcast – which also features Alan Shearer and Micah Richards – is part of Goalhanger productions, co-founded by Gary.

A spokesperson for the BBC added: “It would be an own goal to comment on every name put to us – but any new signings will be announced as soon as deals are done.”

Who could replace Gary Lineker as MOTD host?

GARY LINEKER dropped the shock news that he is QUITTING Match of the Day.

The popular presenter, 63, took over hosting duties on the flagship BBC programme from Des Lynam in 1999.

But after more than 25 years in the studio hotseat, he has called time on his MOTD gig.

But as part of a huge shake-up, the BBC is considering rotating the presenters on a weekly basis.

So with Lineker vacating the chair, new names will step into his giant boots. But who could they be?

MARK CHAPMAN

Chapman, 51, is the obvious early favourite to follow on from Lineker as MOTD presenter.

He already has the gig as MOTD2 host on a Sunday night plus landed the presenting job for the new BBC Champions League highlights show.

ALEX SCOTT

Scott gets the nod from the Beeb bosses when Lineker is away.

The former right-back, 40, is used to presenting the Saturday night show as well as live match coverage – plus ticks the box as a former England international.

GABBY LOGAN

Like Scott, Logan, 51, is one of the understudies to step in when Lineker is not available.

She has done most gigs since joining the BBC in 2007, including Olympics, Sports Personality of the Year and Final Score.

MICAH RICHARDS

Lineker’s top pick to replace him is exuberant former Man City defender Richards.

The departing host told his close pal, 36, on their Stick to Football podcast: “I’d love to see you take over Micah, I think you’d be brilliant in the chair.”

JASON MOHAMMAD

Mohammad could earn the “promotion” from Final Score to Match of the Day.

The 51-year-old Welshman – who took over from Logan in 2013 – is one of the BBC’s top earners already and is more senior than fellow Final Score and BBC Sport broadcaster Kelly Somers, who could in theory become the main live host for the afternoon slot.

JEFF STELLING

He couldn’t, could he? While Lineker has been the face of Saturday night TV for football fans for years, the face of the afternoons was Stelling in his role as Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday presenter.

He would bring plenty of on-screen charisma, wit and legendary TV expertise – but at nearly 70 and currently with talkSPORT, the Hartlepool fan would not be a cheap or long-term appointment.

BEREAVED families are facing grief-stricken chaos after a catastrophic IT blunder left death certificates riddled with errors.

The glitch, which duplicated doctor names, rendered the certificates legally invalid, blocking access to estates, pensions and vital accounts.

GettyBereaved families are facing grief-stricken chaos after a catastrophic IT blunder left death certificates riddled with errors[/caption]

Officials don’t know how many faulty certificates are still out there but the Government claims the “technical issue” was patched up on Wednesday.

One devastated family member, whose late grandmother’s death certificate was tied up in bureaucratic knots, told The Sun: “The council’s registrar office worked tirelessly to ensure our certificate was issued swiftly, only for the council and us to be railroaded with a ‘computer bug�?holding the whole process up.�?lt;/p>

The heartbroken relative revealed it was only after they returned to the registrar office to correct a “manual mistake�?that the error was even discovered.

He went on: “The council was simply unable to rectify it as the whole computer system has a bug and while they are caught between a rock and a hard place I am left holding a family together saying this simply has to be done correctly or we can’t get on with life.�?lt;/p>

He also warned there could be countless other families affected who may not even realise their certificates are invalid, leaving estates in legal limbo.

The glitch, which duplicated the same doctor’s name in both the “established” and “scrutinised” fields, stems from an automated system error.

By law, these roles require verification by two separate medical professionals to ensure accuracy �?but the system error wiped out that safeguard.

Several councils confirmed they were informed of the nationwide issue, which had been going on for just over a week, and that it was something “they had no control over�?

Kieran Bowe, private client partner at Russell Cooke, blasted the situation: “If bereaved family members are not able to register a death of a loved one, the estate is put on a pause, executors may have difficulty accessing funds to pay for funerals causing upset at an already difficult and emotional time.�?lt;/p>

He also warned a delay in the issue of death certificates may “prevent executors being able to preserve assets in the estate, as they will not be able to formally register the death, the banks, financial institutions and utility providers�?

A Conservative spokesperson demanded that the Home Secretary “tell us how many families were affected and set out a way to fix it to ensure this error is never made again.�?lt;/p>

They added: “This will no doubt have had an impact on families coping with loss.�?lt;/p>

It is understood the Home Office believed councils would have contacted families whose certificates were affected, but questions remain over whether every impacted family has been informed.

The Government yesterday insisted the fix is now in place, with a spokesperson stating: “We are aware of this technical issue, which is being permanently rectified today.

“While this is implemented councils are still able to issue correct certificates using a temporary workaround.�?lt;/p>

RACHEL Reeves pledges to rip up financial red tape to let City bosses take more risks to help grow the economy.

The Chancellor insists measures brought in following the 2008 economic crash have “gone too far�?and are holding Britain back.

AlamyChancellor wants UK to maintain position as global financial centre[/caption]

She will use her first Mansion House speech tonight to say that the moves have had “unintended consequences�?putting the brakes on growth.

Ms Reeves will announce a package of measures aimed at driving up competition across the financial services.

She has written to regulators such as the Financial Conduct Authority to ensure a greater focus is levelled on supporting economic growth.

Big business bosses will be told that the UK’s status as a global financial centre can’t be taken for granted with competition from Frankfurt and New York.

She will hail the City as the “crown jewel�?of the UK’s economy which employs 1.2 million people across the country.

The Chancellor will say: “While it was right that successive governments made regulatory changes after the Global Financial Crisis, to ensure that regulation kept pace with the global economy of the time, it is important that we learn the lessons of the past.

“These changes have resulted in a system which sought to eliminate risk taking.

“That has gone too far and, in places, it has had unintended consequences which we must now address.�?lt;/p>

The speech will also unveil her plans for pension “megafunds�?which will see around £80 billion invested in business and infrastructure.

Tech and telecom firms sectors are also being called upon to go further and faster in reducing the scale of fraud taking place on their platforms and networks.

A progress update of an expanded fraud strategy by March 2025 has also been requested.

ENGLAND take on Greece and the Republic of Ireland in a blockbuster Nations League double-header this month.

The Three Lions begin with a trip to Athens on Thursday night, seeking revenge against Ivan Jovanovic’s side.

GettyThomas Tuchel was appointed as England manager on Tuesday, October 8[/caption]

England were on the end of a shock 2-1 defeat to Greece when the two teams met at Wembley back in October.

A 94th-minute winner from Vagelis Pavlidis secured all three points for the Greeks and continued his side’s perfect record in the competition.

The Three Lions will finish their November international break by hosting rivals Republic of Ireland in their Nations League group finale on Sunday evening.

But why is new England boss Thomas Tuchel not in the dugout for the huge double-header?

Why is Thomas Tuchel not managing England yet?

Thomas Tuchel will not be in the dugout for England’s Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland as he doesn’t start his new post until next year.

The German officially begins his tenure as Three Lions gaffer on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.

Tuchel penned an 18-month contract, which expires after the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

FA CEO Mark Bullingham was asked about the delayed start to the Tuchel-era during the German’s unveiling, he said: “When we first spoke to him, we had our timescale, Thomas had his timescale and it just fitted really well. What was so impressive was his singular focus on us and the World Cup and that project.

“It made sense for it to start on January 1 and made sense for Lee to finish the campaign in the Nations League. So we’re very comfortable where we are and that’s what we’ll be doing.”

Since the former Chelsea boss doesn’t start until the new year, interim manager Lee Carsley will take charge of the Nations League matches against Greece and Republic of Ireland.

The 50-year-old will return to his former post as under-21s head coach after November’s double-header.

Tuchel’s first game in charge of England will come during the March international break, but it is not yet known who the opposition will be.

KATIE TAYLOR and Amanda Serrano will go at it once again – but this time for the undisputed women’s super-lightweight title – after the first fight broke records.

Irish icon Taylor defeated seven-weight world champion Serrano two years ago in what was labelled as the biggest fight in female boxing history.

GettyKatie Taylor and Amanda Serrano were locked in a thrilling battle two years ago[/caption]

GettyBut the Irish superstar Taylor came out on top via a split decision[/caption]

The sold-out Madison Square Garden battle ended in a 97-93, 96-93, 94-96 split decision win for KT.

Taylor then showed a touch of brilliance by saying: “Let’s do it again Amanda, What a fighter Amanda Serrano is”, immediately after the contest.

It was also a good night for legendary boxing promoter Eddie Hearn who won a £1million side bet with US rival promoter Jake Paul – although he rejected the winnings.

Now two years on, fans will get the chance to see a rerun of these two iconic fighters going punch-for-punch.

And in even better news, this match is scheduled to feature on the undercard of Jake Paul’s fight against legendary boxer Mike Tyson.

What has been said?

Amanda Serrano believes that she should have been named the winner of her incredible fight against Katie Taylor.

But the Irish icon doesn’t agree with that statement.

Back in May 2024, Serrano said told the Irish Mirror: “I’ve been saying it for a long time. I believe I won that fight.

“You can ask the audience who won that fight. You can even ask your Irish people who won that fight. I respect Katie.

“She’s a great champion. Like you said, I need a great dance partner and Katie Taylor is that dance partner, but deep down inside, I know I won that fight.”

Taylor responded with: “The right winner won.

“It was a fantastic fight, but the right winner won, and I plan to do the same thing on July 20 (now rescheduled for Nov 15). I’m sitting beside Mike Tyson here. This is the winner’s table right here.”

HISTORIC rugby club Wasps have confirmed plans to build a new 28,000-seater stadium.

The six-time Premiership winners have bought land at a site in Swanley in Sevenoaks – two years after going into administration.

They were relegated from the top flight in 2022 and thrown out of the league.

But they have applied for entry to the Tier 2 division – which is replacing the Championship from next year.

And now Wasps have revealed they have an option on the 10-year site which they hope will play host to their new ground.

They announced the news with a picture of a glistening state-of-the-art stadium.

Wasps previously held home games at a number of different football stadiums including those owned by QPR, Wycombe and Coventry.

Wasps owner Christopher Holland told Sky Sports: “It’s very rewarding that we have managed to achieve this milestone with the support of key stakeholders.

“It brings our aspiration of a new home in the region closer and hopefully demonstrates our determination to recover Wasps sustainably.”

Wasps confirmed during the development process they will be “exploring temporary facilities”.

The rugby team have already agreed a deal to train and play matches at Worcester Warriors’ Sixways ground.

In 2014 they purchased Coventry City’s football stadium, where they played home matches.

But following Wasps’ bankruptcy, that ground is now owned by Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group.

It has been reported that Wasps could temporarily move back to London and share The Valley with League One side Charlton.

That would mean three teams playing at the same venue, as Charlton’s women’s team have also held home games there since the start of the season.

A SECOND former Manchester United player is ready to join Misfits Boxing.

Phil Bardsley famously showed his boxing skills when he knocked out Wayne Rooney in the kitchen.

SplashPhil Bardsley is keen to join Misfits Boxing[/caption]

Danny Simpson made his boxing debut in the summer

Sportsfile

And he hopes to take inspiration from Danny Simpson by stepping into the ring for a proper bout.

Simpson put his Premier League winner’s medal from the 5,000-1 Leicester City success on the line when he drew with Danny Aarons at Misfits 17 in August.

Now former Red Devils team-mate Bardsley is keen to follow in his footsteps, by lacing up the gloves and joining the KSI-founded promotion.

The ex-defender, 39, said: “I’d certainly be interested in getting into the ring like Danny Simpson. I’ve had people ask me the question and I spoke to Simo about it recently.

“I’ve spoken to Wayne Rooney about a potential fight of his own but the issue he has is that he wants to manage and coach and it would be a bit stupid to go on Misfits or something like that and fight a YouTuber when he’s coaching.

“But for me, I’m keen, Simo has spoken to someone at Misfits who spoke to some YouTubers but I don’t think there has been any takers yet which is unfortunate because I like to think I can give it a go.

“If someone offered me a few quid for a fight, I certainly wouldn’t turn it down.”

On the day the news broke in The Sun and the video of the dust-up went viral, Rooney responded by scoring against Tottenham and then did his knockout celebration.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

And though that fight had a very limited audience in the privacy of Rooney’s Cheshire home, his close pal reckons the former England captain could light up Wembley again – in the ring rather than in the box.

Bardsley – who launched his own property business after retiring – added to OLBG: “We had no idea that the boxing clip would go viral because we didn’t even know it was being filmed.

The ex-England captain ended up flat out on the floor

“It then got released and sold and it was just one of those things, we’d probably had one too many drinks and then got the gloves out.

“People sometimes forget that we are just normal lads from normal backgrounds and that’s just what lads do sometimes.

“We had a swing and chinned each other a few times, we both like our boxing and I got the better of him on that occasion.

“Wayne Rooney vs Jake Paul would definitely sell out Wembley, you can imagine the audience that would bring in, both in person and online as well.

Would Wayne beat Jake Paul? It’s tricky because Jake Paul has done it for a long time now and Wayne hasn’t done it at that level in front of a huge audience
Phil Bardsley

“The younger generation would be mad on all the build-up and the clips on their phones, the influencer boxing scene is huge and they’re filling their pockets now.

“Would Wayne beat Jake Paul? It’s tricky because Jake Paul has done it for a long time now and Wayne hasn’t done it at that level in front of a huge audience.

“He played football in front of millions before Jake Paul was on the scene but fair play to him, now he is doing it on the big stage and getting paid fortunes.

“I’m not sure about him fighting Mike Tyson though, a 20-something lad fighting a 58-year-old, it’s bonkers.

“You can understand it financially but I couldn’t fight a 60-year-old man for whatever amount of money. But that’s just me.”

KATIE Taylor is a five-time amateur world champion, olympic gold-medalist and currently undisputed in two weight classes in the professional game.

She’s putting her light-heavyweight belts on the line for a second time against Amanda Serrano on the undercard of Mike Tyson v Jake Paul on November 15, 2024.

GettyKatie Taylor won her first mega-fight against Amanda Serrano in April 2022[/caption]

GettyIt is widely considered the greatest women’s boxing bout of all time[/caption]

Meet Katie Taylor

Katie Taylor is an Irish professional boxer and former football player.

She was born on July 2, 1986, in Bray, a coastal town in north County Wicklow, Ireland.

Katie first began boxing when she was just 12 and was trained by her dad Peter, who was also a boxer.

Peter also trained Katie’s two older brothers, Lee and Peter, and went on to coach Olympic boxer Adam Nolan.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson predictions and betting tips

Katie attended University College Dublin but chose to leave her studies once her sporting career took off.

In 2001, she fought in the first officially sanctioned female boxing match in Ireland.

Katie won gold at London 2012, the first time women’s boxing had been included an Olympic Games.

Female footballer

A keen footballer, she represented the Republic of Ireland women’s national football team at under-17, under-19 and senior levels.

Katie made her final international appearance during the 2011 Fifa Women’s World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan.

The Irish boxing star’s professional boxing career started with a DM to promoter Eddie Hearn.

Signing for Matchroom

In 2016, she signed with the promoter’s Matchroom banner �?within a year Katie was lightweight world champion.

Hearn told The Sun that he initially took a meeting with Katie out of respect but was soon blown away by the star.

He said: “There was no market for women’s boxing, there was no interest from broadcasters or fans. I just had the meeting out of respect for her.

“But it was during that meeting I just thought, ‘Wow, you’re amazing. I’d quite like to be part of this, we could be a hero with you in just completely changing the game.'”

Notable victories from Katie’s professional career include wins over Delfine Persoon, Amanda Serrano, Jennifer Han, Firuza Sharipova �?and especially her comeback victory over Chantelle Cameron after losing their first fight convincingly.

Tasting defeat for the first time

Katie tasted defeat for the first time in May 2023 at the hands of Northampton’s Cameron after stepping up in weight.

Speaking after her loss, she said: “It’s not how I wanted my homecoming to go. I’m just so grateful for the support regardless.

Chantelle Cameron was covered in blood after suffering a nasty gash on her forehead after an accidental clash of heads

“Congratulations to Chantelle on a fantastic performance, thanks so much for the opportunity to fight for your belts, and looking forward to the rematch.”

But just six months later, she landed two-weight undisputed glory with a bloody revenge victory.

Marriage and kids?

Katie keeps her personal life private, and has not spoken publicly abut being in a relationship or having a family.

She previously revealed how she doesn’t like being quizzed on her romantic life in interviews.

When asked which question she hates being asked, Katie told The Athletic: “Probably the question about relationships. That’s another question people always ask. I guess people are just interested in my personal life.

“I get it all the time. It’s a bit annoying at times but I’m just polite and get on with it. I don’t think male boxers get asked it, though.”

She also said in the past that she is too busy with her career to think about a relationship.

Speaking to The Irish Mirror in 2019 she said: “I’m not [seeing anyone] at the moment, I really genuinely haven’t got the time.

“I’m just out in America training hard at the moment but who knows what could happen in the future.”

Katie Taylor’s boxing record

Katie’s boxing record is 23-1-0.

This means she has won 23 of her professional boxing bouts, lost one and drawn none.

Her victories include six knockouts, giving her a KO percentage of 26.09%.

Kate, 57, was saddled with the huge bill after closing down her late husband Derek Draper’s company.

The Good Morning Britain star sought the help of a firm to handle discussions over the bill with HMRC.

Amid the woes, the mum-of-two has now revealed she’s signed new two-year deal with Smooth Radio.

The deal means the fan-favourite will continue to presenter her popular show in the 10am to 1pm slot.

In a video posted on Instagram, Kate could be seen in the studio as a member of the crew supposedly delivered her new contract for her to ink.

She could be heard curiously asking him: “How long for?”

For the next two years said the crew member as Kate’s face beamed with excitement.

She then joked: “You fools, you fools!”

Kate added: “That’s really, really good, where do I sign? Sign it quickly before they take it back.

“You’re stuck with me now for another two years, thank you for listening.”

Derek Draper died at the start of this year, aged 56, after battling with the long-term effects of Covid.

Mohamed Al Fayed’s brother has been accused of sexually assaulting women working at Harrods just weeks after similar allegations emerged about the outlet’s former boss.

Three former employees of the luxury store, which Mr Al Fayed bought in 1985, have levelled the claims against one of his siblings.

The women claim that they were either sexually assaulted or raped by Salah Fayed, with one even alleging that he had drugged her.

Mr Fayed died of pancreatic cancer in 2010 but it was not until his billionaire brother, who added the ‘Al’ to his family name’, passed away last year that the allegations began to gather steam.

In the wake of a BBC documentary investigating the claims, released earlier this year, more than 400 alleged victims have come forward with stories of horrendous abuse.

But now the accusations have extended beyond just Mr Al Fayed for the first time.

One of Mr Fayed’s accusors, Helen, has waived her right to anonymity to speak out about the appalling allegations.

She told BBC News: “He [Mohamed Al Fayed] shared me with his brother.

“They’ve stolen a part of me.

“It’s changed the course of my entire life.”

Helen also claimed that she was made to sign a Harrods non-disclosure agreement, which has kept her silent for 35 years.

She added: “I’d met Salah and he seemed really friendly, he didn’t seem in the slightest bit like his brother.”

But, she went on, that impression soon wore off after he offered her a glass of champagne following a shift at Harrods.

Helen claimed: “Within a few sips I was starting to feel a bit groggy, but I can’t describe it as drunk.”

And she alleged that Mr Fayed pressured her to take a puff of crack cocaine, only for her to wake up to him with a glass of water looking “nervous and panicky”.

Her suspicions were allegedly confirmed when she discovered her jeans unbuttoned and semen in “not just one place, but another”.

A further two women also made allegations against Mr Fayed, though both retained their anonymity.

One even claimed that he had attempted to push her into drug addiction to continue the abuse.

She alleged: “He was trying to get me hooked on crack so he could do whatever he wanted to me.”

Both the Fayed family and Harrods are still reeling from over 400 allegations of abuse by the outlet’s former owner.

Accusations of this nature date back to the 1990s, but have been highlighted in recent months following the documentary Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods.

Women from all walks of life, including those who worked at Harrods and played for Fulham FC, have some forward with countless allegations of rape and assault.

A spokesperson for Harrods, which came under new ownership in 2010, said that the store “supports the bravery of these women in coming forward” and urged them to register a formal claim with its compensation scheme.

Adult couple connect cctv surveillance camera with mobile phone at home

DEAR DEIDRE: MY ex saw me having sex with a one night stand using the camera security system he’d installed as a favour to me.

I was completely unaware that he was watching me, until he turned up the next morning and got very upset with me.

Originally, I was grateful for his help setting up the system, but now I feel really uncomfortable.

He said he’d received an alert on his phone and checked it by chance, but I can’t help but worry he’s keeping an eye.

He insists he hasn’t been watching and that was a one off but the whole experience has really unsettled me.

I’m 36, my ex is 39, and we were together for eight years before we broke up five months ago.

Our split was mutual and amicable, and we decided to remain friends.

We still met up and sometimes even had sex but as we didn’t discuss what this meant, I thought we were simply friends with benefits.

I really appreciated still having him in my life.

When I was moving house, he offered to help, knowing how useless I am at DIY.

He helped put up shelves and installed security cameras and set them up online so I could view them through an app. I knew he had access to it, while he set it up but assumed he’d log out.

So when I brought a man home, I didn’t think twice.

Now I feel mortified. He says he didn’t mean to breach my privacy, but I feel so conflicted.

DEIDRE SAYS: Watching you have sex with another man was a huge breach of your privacy, and you shouldn’t take it lightly.

As a priority please ensure that you are the only one with access to your security system. Make sure you’re the primary account holder and change your password so that he doesn’t have access.

It’s completely understandable that this experience has made you question the sort of person he is.

Unless you decide you can trust him completely, you would be wise to stay away.

At the very least, it’s clear that the lines are blurred between you and your ex, and some boundaries need to be re-established.

As for your relationship with him, you need to decide if there’s any hope of a future together.

If you decide there’s not, it would be best to step away so you can both move on. My support pack Moving On will help.

XABI ALONSO will leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season, according to reports.

The Spaniard has been attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

GettyXabi Alonso will reportedly leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season[/caption]

He led Bayer Leverkusen to their first Bundesliga title ever, going unbeaten in all 34 games.

Alonso also reached the Europa League final, losing to Atalanta, and soon after he was linked to the vacant job at Liverpool.

He ruled himself out of the running for that role but he is now set to leave Leverkusen at the end of the season, report Eurosport Spain.

Alonso, 42, is under contract until 2026 but could fancy a different challenge.

Another former club Real Madrid has been mooted as a potential option, but Carlo Ancelotti also has a deal until 2026.

Alonso was asked why he turned down Liverpool and was cagey when discussing his future, prior to his side’s 4-0 thrashing at Anfield last month.

He said: “At that time I was focused, I had a big thing with the players and we were really focused on that.

“Let’s talk about the game tomorrow, it’s more interesting than my future.”

One job that could be available in the summer is Manchester City, and the club reportedly like the look of Alonso as a successor to Pep Guardiola, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

Reports have claimed Leverkusen have begun their search for a new successor with Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeness and Germany assistant manager Sandro Wagner being considered.

WHOEVER wrote the advertising blurb promoting the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing buffoonery that’s taking place in Texas on Friday would make George Washington blush with shame.

The description of this ridiculous, universally condemned freak show between 58-year-old Tyson and novice YouTuber Paul, is a masterpiece of deception.

GettyMike Tyson ends his near two-decade absence from the ring on Friday[/caption]

GettyFormer YouTuber Jake Paul will be the 58-year-old’s opponent[/caption]

ReutersTyson suffered a medical emergency just four months ago, resulting in the fight being postponed[/caption]

It thunders: “One of the most highly anticipated fights in boxing history.

“It’s legendary power against relentless ambition promising an unforgettable clash in the ring.”

Has there ever been anything more derisory or misleading? Because this isn’t a fight – IT’S A FARCE!

It must be appalling to the good folk who run the Age Concern charity that looks after the welfare of the elderly.

Because Tyson – one of the all-time great world heavyweight champions – is not only being allowed to climb through the ropes at his time of life after 19 years in retirement but encouraged to combat a man 31 years younger.

At least he is only being asked to box eight two-minute rounds and he’ll be wearing 14oz gloves instead of the usual 10oz – as if that is going to lessen the danger to Tyson’s health.

We keep hearing what incredible shape Mike’s in considering he’s well passed middle age – yet four months ago he was said to be seriously ill suffering from a bleeding stomach ulcer which he admitted caused him to vomit blood.

This sorry spectacle has been approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations.

Only in America would this kind of punching parody be sanctioned – it certainly wouldn’t be tolerated here.

Stranger things have happened across the pond and it reminds me of the Aaron Pryor horror story.

JAKE PAUL VS MIKE TYSON: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE BOUT

Pryor was found to be blind in his left eye after losing his world junior welterweight title in 1988.

Eighteen months later he decided to make a comeback – understandably he found great difficulty in getting licenced to fight in most cities in the States.

Eventually, he applied to the licensing authorities in Madison, Wisconsin and it was granted.

Marlene Cummings – who made the decision – in her infinite wisdom said solemnly: “Handicapped people should not be penalised for their handicap.”

You couldn’t make it up.

Pryor went ahead with the fight and KO’d his opponent in the third.

Has there ever been anything more derisory or misleading? Because this isn’t a fight – IT’S A FARCE!
Colin Hart

If the Texan authorities had done the sensible thing and refused to give their blessing to this unjustifiable Tyson-Paul spectacle no doubt another State would have been found willing to cash in and stage it.

At least 60,000 are expected in the 80,000-capacity AT&T stadium to see Tyson and Paul square off – probably most of them the kind of people who slow down on motorways to ogle at a car crash.

It’s being shown worldwide on Netflix which has 200 million subscribers – which is why Tyson and Paul are each supposed to be getting anything between £20-£30million.

Hand on heart, who who can blame the one-time Baddest Man on the Planet for grabbing such a massive fortune for a maximum of 16 minutes work?

Obviously Mike believes it’s worth gambling on not getting seriously hurt.

GettyThe Baddest Man on the Planet hasn’t fought professionally since 2005[/caption]

JAKE PAUL VS MIKE TYSON: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE BOUT

Having covered 30 of Tyson’s 58 fights over a period of 17 years – including every one of his 16 world championship battles – I spent many hours with him talking about his troubled life inside and outside the ring.

Always a tormented soul, it was in the cards he would grow old disgracefully – but he always professed his undying love for boxing and respected its history and traditions.

That’s why I find it so dispiriting Mike has allowed himself to get involved in something he would have regarded in his prime as degrading – but we all know money always talks loudest.

It must be appalling to the good folk who run the Age Concern charity that looks after the welfare of the elderly.
Colin Hart

The Tyson I want to remember was the terrifying fighting machine who sent shivers of fear up and down the spine of his opponents – and many in the press seats as well – before he ruthlessly blasted them insensible with the dynamite he carried in both fists.

I’m so glad I’m going to be nearly 5000 miles from Arlington and won’t have to watch the charade that is going to be enacted in cowboy country.

What two long-dead American authors had to say many moons ago perfectly sums up what the majority feel and brings home what the unedifying Tyson-Paul match-up is really all about.

Charles Bukowski pointed out: “Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.”

And H. L. Mencken wrote: “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.”

If there is a ring walk Iron Mike Tyson should come in to Any Old Iron – an old Cockney music hall song the rag-and-bone men used to sing as they toured the East London streets when I was a kid.

They were collecting damaged goods.

Man is using ATM and mobile phone outdoors for withdrawing cash money. People using app in smartphone for bank account.

DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE my wife found out I joined a dating app, she’s been intent on fleecing me for everything I have.

I’ve tried everything to fix it, but there’s no getting through to her. Now I can’t help but think she’s taking advantage of the situation.

I’m 32, my wife is 30, and we tied the knot three years ago after five years together.

The buildup to the wedding had been so exciting, so when everything settled and my wife became consumed with work, I started to feel lonely.

I knew that she was busy, but every time I tried to confide in her, she shrugged me off.

In a moment of complete weakness, I decided to download a dating app. Looking back, I know it was wrong, but I was desperate for company.

My wife caught me pretty soon after when she saw a notification pop up on my phone. I tried my best to grovel and apologise, but she kicked me out of our house and hasn’t spoken to me since.

Now she’s gradually draining our joint bank account. Whether it’s withdrawals of £50 or £500, it’s clear she’s trying to fleece me.

I’ve tried to talk, but she refuses to communicate.

I can’t wrap my head around how she could do this to me.

THE daughter of boxing legend Tyson Fury sparked some envy after she posed in the family’s £1.7 million home.

The 15-year-old showed off her style as she shared snaps of her wardrobe.

Instagram/venezuelafuryofficialVenezuela Fury showed off her personal style as she posed in her family’s £1.7 million mansion[/caption]

Instagram/venezuelafuryofficialThe teen influencer told her Instagram followers that money can only buy clothes but not style[/caption]

In a post on Instagram, Venezuela Fury (@venezuelafuryofficial) shared a series of snaps as she posed in front of a gold throne in her home.

The teen paired a white bralette with low-rise baggy light-wash jeans.

She layered the look with a gold sequined cardigan that matched the letter blocking on the jeans.

To complete her outfit, Venezuela wore a pair of metallic gold pointed heels.

“You can buy clothes but you can’t buy style,” she captioned her post.

Instagram users heaped on praise for the look in the comments section.

“Your outfit,” wrote one impressed follower, including a series of love heart eyes emojis.

“Image of your beautiful mama,” said another person.

And Venezeula’s style and glamourous lifestyle has helped her to become one of Britain’s most popular teen influencers.

She has racked up 70,000 Instagram followers and 200,000 on TikTok.

The teen has even been eyed for modelling contracts

Some agencies have even been reported saying Venezuela’s unique style could make her a “millionaire by the time she’s 16.”

The teen, who has already dropped out of school, says she has no interest in pursuing a career and is content to “sit at home.”

However, her social media presence could prove a viable career with the content creator having already developed her own pose.

The teapot stance involves placing one hand on your head and the other on your hip.

Secret meanings behind Paris & Tyson Fury’s unusual kids�?names

The childhood sweethearts are currently proud parents to Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia Amber, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, Athena, two, and Rico, 11 months.

And their unique monikers have certainly attracted a lot of attention, with many wondering how they came up with them.

So what are the hidden meanings behind Paris and Tyson’s children’s names �?and what ones did they cast aside when making their decisions?

Starting with the obvious, heavyweight champion boxer Tyson has previously opened up about why he and Paris chose to call all three of their sons Prince as their first name.

Tyson, fondly known as The Gypsy King, opened up about his thought process during a segment of his 2020 documentary.

He explained to the cameras: “I’m a King and they’re Princes until they earn their rightful name.�?lt;/p>

However, it wasn’t quite as plain sailing as that, as Tyson has also previously revealed that he wanted to call his first-born son a very typical name �?but it was vetoed by Paris.

He confessed: “I wanted to call the boy Patrick but the wife didn’t want it.�?lt;/p>

But they both loved the idea of the Prince tradition, choosing that as the boys�?primary moniker, before giving them their own unique second names.

The eldest of the three �?Prince John James �?also had another hidden meaning.

According to Babynames, John is of Hebrew origin and means “God is gracious”.

While Prince Tyson II, obviously named after his famous father, inherited the meaning of his name �?“ember�?or “firebrand.�?amp;nbsp;

While their third son Prince Adonis Amaziah has links to both Greek mythology and biblical history.

Adonis is thought to mean “Lord�?while Amaziah represents strong or of strength.

Meanwhile, the girls have equally distinctive names as their brothers.

Tyson decided on Venezuela �?inspired by the country located at the northern end of South America �?amp;nbsp; and said it was a lightbulb moment that came to him when he was in bed one night.

In an interview with The Guardian, Tyson explained: “One night, while I was sleeping, I thought of Venezuela. My wife is called Paris. I’m Tyson.

“If the girl had a normal name it wouldn’t fit in, would it?�?amp;nbsp;

So when they welcomed their next daughter, Tyson and Paris decided to continue with the world location theme.

They named their second little girl Valencia Amber, presumably inspired by the Mediterranean city.

According to the baby name pros at Nameberry, Valencia translates to “brave and strong�?. while can be known to mean “fierce�?

Then, two years ago, along came their current youngest �?Athena �?which has links to the Greek city of Athens.

Name experts have shared: “The name Athena is primarily a female name of Greek origin that means Goddess Of Wisdom and War.

“The city of Athens, Greece was named after the goddess Athena.�?lt;/p>

When it comes to their seventh child, Prince Rico Paris Fury – the tot’s middle name is a tribute to heavyweight champion boxer Tyson‘s late cousin Rico Burton, who was murdered in 2022.

Paris said: “All of my kids have got unusual names and obviously it’s also really personal to Tyson.

“We also added my name because I’ve had seven kids and I still haven’t had one named after me, so Tyson thought, ‘Come on, it’s about time!’�?lt;/p>

Their family tradition of naming their sons Prince as a first name, was Tyson’s idea.

The unique pose suggests that Venezuela already owns her own style, which could explain why she’s catching the attention of modelling agencies.

Gemma Howorth, Founder of Body London Model Management is convinced that Venezuela’s “gorgeous” looks and “strong social presence”, could make her a lot of money as a model.

“Venezuela is very young but if correctly managed could really do well with a strong fashion-focused brand like BooHoo and then go on to develop an exciting modelling career,” she said.

Venezuela’s followers are already loving her various looks.

Her snaps rack up tens of thousands of views – with gushing comments about how “stunning” she is, and a “double” of her mother.

The teenager is known for her signature teapot pose, which has helped attract the attention of modelling agencies

Sad daughter against mother on sofa

DEAR DEIDRE: HOW do I help my best friend escape her controlling mother?

I’m 26, my friend is 27, and her mum is 56. We’ve been friends since we were young teens after meeting on our street.

Growing up, she was homeschooled and didn’t spend time with any other young people apart from me.

While I realised her mum was a bit overbearing, it’s only since becoming an adult that I’ve realised how bad things actually are.

Whether she’s preventing her from having a social life, crying when she doesn’t answer the phone, or manipulating and guilt tripping her whenever she tries to leave the house, it’s clear that there’s an issue.

Recently my friend has become more reclusive than ever, and trying to get a text message out of her, never mind see her, is a huge task.

It’s clear her mental health has taken a turn for the worse. I’ve tried my best to support her, but she keeps insisting everything’s fine.

DEIDRE SAYS: It is hard to see our friends suffer.

Deciding what’s the right thing to do in a situation like this can be stressful, particularly if the person you are concerned about is reluctant to accept support.

Unfortunately, the most you can do is tell her how much you care for her and offer to help her if she decides she needs it.

In the meantime, stay in contact with her as much as you can, and hopefully she’ll start to open up eventually.

Depressed young man leaning on wooden door

DEAR DEIDRE: EVERY time my partner and I leave the house, he spends more than an hour checking and double checking that all the locks are locked.

I know it’s something that plays on his mind, so I’ve tried my best to be understanding, but after a few too many missed reservations, I’m losing my patience.

I’m 45, my boyfriend is 48, and we’ve been together for three years.

Since we met, I’ve always known him to struggle with anxiety and nerves. If there was something to worry about, he’d find it.

However, over the last few months things have intensified, and he’s become increasingly obsessed with checking the locks on the doors every time we leave the house.

Every time it follows the same pattern – he’ll lock all the doors and windows and proceed to check them at least a dozen times before he’s comfortable leaving the house.

He says he can’t trust himself and won’t relax unless he’s completely sure he’s done it right.

I can tell it’s getting him down. How do I help him?

DEIDRE SAYS: This behaviour, obsessively checking locks, sounds very much like a type of obsessive compulsive disorder.

OCD can take a huge toll on a person’s mental health, so it’s important your partner receives help.

My support packs on Overcoming Obsessions and Living With Anxiety will tell you who to contact.

He can also get in touch with OCD UK (ocduk.org, Tel: 01332 588112 ).

It’s a good idea for him to make an appointment with his GP to ask about specialist counselling too.

PADame Sheila Hancock is set to make an appearance on the docu-series[/caption]

In this year’s edition, Anita will sit down with Dame Sheila Hancock and Rudolph Walker to find out what Christmas means to them.

My Life At Christmas is an annual BBC series that brings together notable figures to share their cherished holiday traditions.

Each episode offers viewers a more personal glimpse into how celebrities celebrate Christmas.

Acclaimed actress Dame Sheila and former soap star Rudolph are expected to both delve into their family life and faith in the segment, which airs on December 1.

In previous years Guardian columnist Adrian Chiles and comedian Sally Phillips have hosted the show.

This exciting news comes a few months after Anita opened up about the breakdown of her marriage, sharing that she is excited for what life has to bring now she is single again.

The British radio and television presenter split from her husband Bhupi Rehal in 2023 after 14 years of marriage.

Anita referred to the next part of her life as a new chapter, saying: “I’m in a good place. I’m focusing on myself and my own wants.”

“It’s nice to be able to think about the second phase of my life. I’ve been calling it Chapter Two.”

She had previously called being single ‘uncharted territory’ when the couple first split.

Their busy work schedules were said to be a contributing factor in the divorce.

The MAC Go For Gold – otherwise known as Golden Heroes set – is exclusive to Boots, and will save you almost £60.

BootsThe basic essentials from MAC everyone needs[/caption]

MAC Go For Gold – Golden Heroes, £39 (worth £94) at Boots

BUY HERE

The MAC Go For Gold set contains all the essentials for any make-up look.

The four-piece set retails for £39 but contains £94 worth of beauty favourites inside.

This bundle is exclusive to Boots, and is the perfect gift for your girlfriend, a relative or to treat yourself to this Christmas.

This offer is one of numerous beauty bundles, such as the No7 Beauty Vault and Boots Best of Beauty Box, which have been discounted at Boots, and I anticipate even more will be dropping over the coming weeks as part of the Boots Black Friday sale.

The bundle contains a power quad of beauty essentials all housed in a pout-shaped case.

The set features the award-winning M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick in the iconic Velvet Teddy, as well as the Extended Play Gigablack Mascara, a lipliner, and all-important Fix+ Original Setting Spray to help your make-up look hold for hours on end.

The foursome can be worn all in one go, or along with other MAC products.

The four MAC essentials are the basics I swear by to create a no make-up make-up look, as well as full on glam.

Whether you wish to try the MAC favourites, stock up on the brand’s must-haves, or treat someone else, it is a well thought out bundle.

The Velvet Teddy lipstick is a timeless matte lipstick, which is buttery soft on the lips and a versatile shade to suit everyone.

I would recommend lining your lips with the liner included in the bundle, as I find it exaggerates my pout and helps to hold the lipstick, though this is not essential.

Plus, the liner can be worn on its own, or with a gloss too because it is super easy to line and fill in the lips too.

The Extended Play Gigablack Mascara is a failsafe essential to add volume and length to your lashes in one sweep.

The Setting Spray is the final step in a beauty routine, and the Fix+ has a long-lasting holding power to ensure your make-up is budge-proof even after an evening spent on the dancefloor this party season.

What’s inside the MAC Golden Heroes set?

Fix+ Original Setting Spray
MACXimal Silky Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy
Extended Play Gigablack Mascara

It’s unknown how long the set will be available to shop, but I suggest you shop quickly to snap up this unmissable deal before it’s too late.

STOMACH-turning undercover footage lays bare the shocking reality of procedures carried out by cosmetic cowboys in Britain’s high street salons.

Cameras captured the shocking moment a beautician pierces a client’s cheek with a sharp, metal “suction wand” to suck out fat – before allowing a student with less than an hour’s training to take over.

ITVShocking undercover footage shows a fat reduction procedure being carried out by a beautician[/caption]

ITVThe beautician gave students half an hour of instruction before bringing the client in[/caption]

“This looks quite scary, but really it’s not,” the practitioner says as she brandished the long needle, while leading a one-day training course for the “fat reduction” procedure.

Secret filming also showed the beautician admitting she had damaged just “two nerves” and “one artery” during the hundreds of procedures she had carried out with students.

The blood-curdling clips were captured as part of an investigation carried out by ITV News into dangerous cosmetic practices being carried by out by “wild west operators”.

The TV channel had an undercover reporter sign up for the training course at Luxury Medical Aesthetics in Clapham, which promised to teach people how to carry out the treatment over a matter of hours for £1500.

Students received half an hour of instruction before the client arrived to have the “fat reduction” treatment.

Footage shows the moment the beautician makes an incision in the client’s jawline before inserting the suctioning into her jawline.

The client – who has had only local anaesthetic – is clearly in pain, but the trainer continues to plunge the wand up and down beneath her skin.

“If we damage the nerves on one side, then we’re very, very careful on the other side,”she tells her students.

She even tries to reassure the group that during hundreds of procedures, she has only damaged “two nerves” and “one artery”.

It isn’t long before she hands over the instrument to her students to have a go, despite them having no prior experience handling the tools.

ITV‘s reporter made her excuses and left before she was invited to join in, but despite this, she still passed the course, leaving with a certificate from Luxury Medical Aesthetics.

The Sun has contacted the clinic for comment.

Watching the undercover footage, consultant plastic surgeon Professor Iain Whitaker was appalled and blasted the clinic’s practices as “disgusting”.

He said: “I’ve been a doctor for over 22 years, and I never thought in my lifetime I’d see something like that.

“How she can be allowed to do this, with zero training, or medical background is just beyond belief.

“They’re just not thinking about the patient. It disgusts me, to be honest.�?lt;/p>

In the UK, there is no regulation to prevent non-medics performing these procedures, while doctors face strict regulation from the General Medical Council (GMC).

A Freedom of Information request carried out by ITV News found there have been 1,193 ambulance callouts to businesses with “beauty” or “aesthetics” in the name, for reasons including “chest pain”, “immediate threats to life” and “major trauma”.

In the last five years, there have been 670 complaints to local authorities about aesthetic procedures.

‘Squealing in pain’

ITV News spoke multiple women who suffered side effects or medical emergencies after treatments at Luxury Medical Aesthetics.

Keylea-Anne Griffiths was rushed to hospital, suffering damage to her bladder, after paying to have the fat reduction treatment.

She recalled: “I felt this hot metal rod piercing my skin. I was squealing in pain.”

Keylea-Anne also remembered lying on the bed and seeing another person’s blood splattered up the salon wall.

The following day she drove the four-hour journey home from London in agony, without any pain relief.

She was eventually taken to A&E after being unable to pass urine, due to temporary damage to her bladder.

She said when she messaged the salon to tell them what had happened, it was two days before she received a call.

“They said I had been too interested in what machines we were using, rather than the aftercare advice we were trying to provide,�?Keylea-Anne said.

Luxury Medical Aesthetics did not to respond to ITV News about the safety concerns raised.

Nor did the owner answer questions when she was approached outside the salon.

‘Lives at risk’

The grim footage comes in the wake the tragic death of Alice Webb, 33, a mum-of-five who died after having a non-surgical BBL carried out at a studio in Gloucester.

Alice was the first person to die of a liquid BBL performed in the UK.

Two people were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and bailed.

Experts speaking to The Sun condemned procedures advertised on on social media as ‘risk-free�? ‘cheaper�?alternatives surgical ones, saying this “could not be further from the truth”.

FacebookAlice Webb, 33, died in September after having a non-surgical BBL in a UK clinic[/caption]

Surgeons performing a Brazilian Butt Lift would typically inject fat from another part of the body into the buttocks.

But salons are able to offer a “non-surgical” option, by inserting hundreds of millilitres of filler instead.

Alice’s partner, Dane Knight, and her family are now calling for the introduction of Alice’s Law.

This would make it illegal for anyone other than a registered Plastic Surgeon on the GMC specialist register to perform bum augmentation procedures using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.

Safety tips for cosmetic procedures

If you are considering getting a liquid BBL or other cosmetic procedures, there are some key things you can do to ensure that the procedure is as safe as possible.

he first and most important step is to seek out a qualified and experienced medical practitioner.

Here are the key steps to ensure a safe procedure:

Verify the practitioner’s credentials: Ensure the surgeon or aesthetic practitioner is properly trained, qualified, and registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) for surgical procedures, or trained in non-surgical aesthetics with a reputable provider, like Harley Academy, for injectable treatments.
Ask about their experience: It is essential to choose a practitioner who has extensive experience with BBLs. Ask how many procedures they have performed and about their complication rates.
Ask about materials used: For liquid BBLs, check that only UK or European approved fillers are used and that strict hygiene standards are followed
Clinic safety standards: The procedure should be carried out in a regulated medical facility that meets high standards of hygiene, has proper equipment, and can handle emergencies. For surgical BBLs, this means a licensed surgical centre with proper accreditation.
Realistic expectations and clear communication: A responsible practitioner will take the time to fully explain the risks and manage expectations. Patients should always be informed about both the best and worst outcomes, and there should be a comprehensive discussion of the aftercare and recovery process.
Avoid cut-price deals: Cheaper is not better when it comes to cosmetic procedures. Be wary of low-cost deals or practitioners offering services without proper medical oversight. This can often be a red flag for unsafe or unregulated treatments.
Be open about your medical history: During your consultation, you should be open about your medical history and medications and ask detailed questions about the procedure.
Be diligent about aftercare: Following all aftercare instructions and going to follow-up appointments can help prevent problems and ensure a safe recovery.
Be wary about travelling abroad: Following all aftercare instructions and going to follow-up appointments can help prevent problems and ensure a safe recovery.

The previous Conservative government conducted a public consultation to investigate the issue of non-surgical cosmetic procedures and committed to looking at new regulations.

Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, this week addressed the issue, saying it was “absolutely disgusting that there are wild west operators practising actually dangerously in cosmetic surgery and putting people’s lives at risk”.

“And we’ve seen that in the tragic case of Alice,” he added.

Mr Streeting said he would through the work the previous government initiated, but didn’t expand on how long that would take.

“We are carrying it through. We are working as fast as we can. We know that we need to act. We are taking this seriously. We’re going as fast as we can.”

BLACKBURN have admitted there are major doubts over the club’s future as a result of the Venky’s legal battle with the Indian government.

In club accounts submitted this week Blackburn director Jitendra Desai writes that “a material uncertainty exists” over the club’s ability to continue operating.

GettyBlackburn have admitted there is some concern about the club’s finances[/caption]

Blackburn made a profit of £1.8m last year, but that was down to the sales of Adam Wharton, Thomas Kaminski and Ash Philips to Crystal Palace, Luton and Tottenham respectively raising almost £23m.

Without continued player sales the club need funding from the Venkys to stay in business, but the Indian government have blocked them from transferring money overseas.

The Venkys’ parent company are involved in a long-running legal case with the Directorate of Enforcement in India in an attempt to get the ban overturned, with a hearing due to take place in Delhi this month.

The Directorate of Enforcement are the branch of the Indian finance ministry in charge of investigating money laundering and breaches of foreign exchange laws.

The Directorate allowed Venkys to make payments of £3.5m and £11m to Blackburn in June and October 2023 respectively after they pleaded for an exception to help keep the club afloat.

No transfers have been since however, leaving Blackburn at risk of running out of money next year.

Blackburn’s accounts were audited by a firm of independent accounts, PM+M, who issued a similar warning.

They wrote: “Until such time as the legal matter is concluded satisfactorily, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on this group and the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

Blackburn currently sit ninth in the Championship table, three points adrift of the play-off spots.

They next face newly-promoted Portsmouth next weekend.

SMART wearables are big in personal healthcare and the Oura Ring has to be one of the most popular on the market.

It’s not exactly cheap and Oura doesn’t discount the ring often, so its Black Friday deals are definitely not to be missed.

Health tracking rings are all the rage and Oura boasts some of the most stylish

BUY FROM OURA

With this sleek gadget you can track your activity, sleep and even your stress levels, as well as your heart rate.

It’s available in two styles and a range of finishes and sizes.

The insights it gives can help inform your fitness routines and lifestyle, and unlike a smart watch, the Oura is small, unobtrusive and easy to wear in bed.

For the lowdown on just what the smart ring can do, read our Oura review.

The Oura ring has become the must-have accessory, often seen on the hands of celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian, and Gareth Southgate.

If you want to join the ranks of its illustrious fans. or you’re after a Christmas gift for someone special, then read on for our best Black Friday deals on the Oura 3.

Oura Ring Black Friday: Deals live now

Oura doesn’t traditionally hold many sales, but after the launch of the Oura Ring 4, the brand has reduced the price of the Oura Ring 3.

It currently costs from £299 (down from £349), depending on the finish chosen.

The brand hasn’t really advertised the deal prominently on its website �?you’ll find it under the drop-down menu at the top of the home page.

The sale includes both the classic Horizon ring and the Heritage ring, with the actual price determined by the finish selected.

Oura Ring 3 Heritage in Stealth

Oura Ring 3 Heritage in Stealth, ~~£399~~, £349

BUY FROM OURA

There’s currently £50 off the Oura 3^rd generation in Stealth.

It’s the only one of the Heritage finishes discounted on the Oura website so if you’ve been thinking about buying, now’s the time to do so.

As far as we can see, the new 4^th generation model isn’t available in this Heritage style so this could be your last opportunity to snap one up.

Oura Ring 3 Horizon in Black

Oura Ring 3 Horizon in Black, ~~£349~~ £299

BUY FROM OURA

The smooth finish of the Oura Horizon looks particularly good in black.

The £50 discount currently available on the Oura website puts this on a par with the cheapest versions in both Horizon and Heritage.

Oura Ring 3 Horizon in Brushed Titanium

Oura Ring 3 Horizon in Brushed Titanium, ~~£449~~ £349

BUY FROM OURA

There’s £100 off the Oura Horizon 3^rd generation in Brushed Titanium.

This is one of the biggest discounts we’ve seen from Oura and at this price point we wouldn’t be surprised if the ring sells out pretty soon.

Oura Ring 3 Horizon in Gold

Oura Ring 3 Horizon in Gold, ~~£499~~ £449

BUY FROM OURA

If you’re more of a gold than silver jewellery kind of person then you won’t want to miss out on the Horizon Gold.

It’s the brand’s 3^rd generation model so not the newest iteration, but a bestselling smart ring nonetheless.

Oura Ring 3 Horizon in Rose Gold

Oura Ring 3 Horizon in Rose Gold, ~~£549~~ £449

BUY FROM OURA

The rose gold finish currently has £100 off its regular price �?that’s for the 3^rd generation Horizon.

Although there’s now a 4^th generation version available, the plus side to buying the Oura 3 is it’s now cheaper, offering a host of high-tech features for less.

When is Black Friday 2024?

This year, Black Friday takes place on 29 November, the day after Thanksgiving in the USA.

However, some retailers have already started their sales, so it’s worth getting your wishlist together now.

We’ve already seen loads of discounts and Black Friday deals from big names like John Lewis and Argos.

Read our explainer to find out more about the global shopping event and how Black Friday got its name.

Is Oura taking part in Black Friday this year?

Oura will definitely be taking part in this year’s Black Friday sale, but they haven’t yet released details of their offers.

As soon as they do we’ll let you know, so bookmark this page for the latest Oura sale informaiton.

The Oura Ring isn’t often discounted, so it’s well worth snapping up a saving when a deal does appear.

In 2023, we covered Oura’s first-ever Black Friday sale in the US, which saw shoppers enjoy impressive discounts on several versions.

We’re expecting the same kind of deals this year in the UK.

We’re also hoping to see Oura Ring offers at John Lewis, the only place apart from the Oura website selling the covetable item.

What to expect from Oura’s Black Friday sale 2024

We’re still waiting for details of Oura’s Black Friday 2024 deals, but we know they are definitely on their way.

The brand has confirmed it is taking part in this year’s mega sale event so we’re eagerly awaiting further information about just what will be included, and of course the extent of the discounts.

Oura released the fourth iteration of its smart ring earlier this year and is currently offering deals on its third generation version.

We hope to see these increased and even perhaps, discounts on the Oura 4.

As deals on Oura rings are rare, when they do happen they sell out fast.

So, make sure you know exactly what you’re looking for ahead of time, and get in there bright and early.

To help you prepare for the big day, here are a few of our top shopping tips:

Be prepared: Sign up for all the newsletters you can to keep track of prices and deals at your favourite stores and websites. Also, register for social media alerts.
Factor in delivery costs: Compare the cost of the item and delivery charge to get an overall price before you decide what and where to buy.
Do you need it? No matter how big the discount is, if you don’t need it, it’s a spend and not a save.
Missed out on a Black Friday deal? Wait for Cyber Monday. Stores may cut prices further.

What was in Oura’s sale last year?

Shoppers saved on a selection of Oura Rings in 2023.

Here are just a few deals we spotted last year:

Silver Heritage Oura Ring, ~~£299~~ £269 from Oura – buy here
Stealth Heritage Oura Ring, ~~£399~~ £349 from Oura – buy here
Gold Heritage Oura Ring, ~~£449~~ £379 from Oura – buy here
Black Horizon Oura Ring, ~~£349~~ £319 from Oura – buy here
Brushed Titanium Horizon Oura Ring, ~~£449~~ £399 from Oura – buy here
Rose Gold Horizon Oura Ring, ~~£549~~ £449 from Oura – buy here

BUY FROM OURA

When is Cyber Monday 2024 and is Oura taking part?

This year, Cyber Monday falls on 2 December.

It always takes place the first Monday after Thanksgiving and traditionally marked the end of the Black Friday sale.

Originally Cyber Monday was dedicated to online shopping, but now it has grown into a continuation of the Black Friday event and features offers from all retailers, not just websites.

Oura has been known to participate in Cyber Monday sales in the past, so we’re certain the brand will do the same this year.

How much does Oura’s shipping cost?

Shoppers who purchase a smart ring from the official Oura website can expect to pay an additional £15 standard shipping fee.

Unfortunately, expedited shipping is not currently available.

Your Oura Ring will be delivered 1-2 weeks from when you confirm your ring size.

Not sure what your ring size is?

Don’t worry, you can select a free sizing kit from the Oura online store.

Shoppers can expect their sizing kit to arrive within 3-9 business days of receiving their order confirmation.

You can find more shipping information, including how to track your order by heading over to the Oura website.

Does Oura offer any other discounts?

Yes, Oura does offer occasional promotions.

The best way to stay up to date with the latest deals and discounts is by following the retailer on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

Alternatively, shoppers can sign up for Oura’s newsletter to receive all the latest offers as they launch.

EASTENDERS actor Jamie Borthwick has got tongues wagging after looking cosy with his Strictly Come Dancing pro partner Michelle – and fans can’t help but notice their sizzling chemistry.

The dancing duo were seen gazing into each other’s eyes lovingly while having an in depth conversation.

BackGridJamie and his pro partner have been seen getting closer than ever[/caption]

James CurleyFans have clocked their undeniable bond[/caption]

The pair were spotted looking more familiar than ever while enjoying the Blackpool sights ahead of the weekend’s competition.

Getting some R&R before their upcoming dance, the pair fuelled up on a classic portion of fish and chips.

The twosome turned heads as they leant into each other and whispered into each other’s ears.

They have been busy preparing for week 9’s Jive to The Ketchup Song by Las Ketchup.

The soap actor and his partner were seen letting their hair down and relaxing with fish and chips as they got some well-needed downtime.

It comes after the BBC soap star, 30, revealed he had enjoyed a “cosy” night with his show partner Michelle Tsiakkas, 29.

Romance rumours between the two have been sparked through the series.

Their close relationship was confirmed when a show microphone picked up a very cheeky four word remark from the actor.

Although Jamie has previously referred to brunette beauty Michelle as being like a “sister”, fans are certain romance is blossoming between them.

Jamie previously admitted to spending a ‘cosy night’ with his partner and recently called her ‘my girl�?

Fans have long noticed the chemistry between the pair as they speculated that something more might be bubbling under the surface.

The star embraced his partner and revealed in the Claudatorium last week: “I’ve had the best week.

“Yeah, exactly that, [it was] the dance I wanted to do, favourite song, went to West Ham.”

Looking lovingly at his Strictly Come Dancing partner, he remarked: “Been with my girl,” before putting his arm around her.

After embracing her, he added: “It’s just been the best week.”

Meanwhile, Michelle said in response: “It was just us two on that dance floor, and it was an indescribable feeling for me.

“I had such a good time and you should be so proud of yourself.”

It came after the Jay Brown actor – who has starred on the BBC soap since 2006 – was been linked to co-star Jazzy Phoenix, 24.

Prior to the live BBC shows, he opened up on his training prep.

Jamie denied switching up his lifestyle to accommodate the hectic training schedule and said: “No booze ban for me.

“I’ve never drunk ever in my life and no one loves me, so I can’t do a sex ban!

“No bans for me, just loads of food.”

VICKY Pattison has given her stamp of approval to “tough as nails�?Maura Higgins dating Pete Wicks – just in time for I’m A Celebrity.

Last week, reality power couple Pete, 36, and Maura, 33, finally confirmed their romance with a sweet kiss after a night in East London.

They finally confirmed their romance with a sweet kiss

The Sun

It’s well known that Vicky, 37, and the former Towie star are good pals – but Maura doesn’t have anything to worry about as she’s fully on board with the relationship.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun on behalf of Lily’s Kitchen, she said: “You know, he tells me absolutely nothing about his love life. He stopped doing that a long time ago.

“Probably for the best. I’m such a nosy cow, so I know nothing about what’s going on.

“Maura’s absolutely gorgeous and like, if they were together, they would absolutely have my seal of approval, he knows that for sure.

“I’m not even pleading ignorance on this one. I’m genuinely in the dark.”

And, with Maura heading into this year’s I’m A Celeb jungle next week, Vicky only had more praise for the Irish beauty.

She added: “I think she’ll be incredible to watch. I actually think the bugs should be scared of her, she’s a weapon. I think Maura is tough as nails.”

Elsewhere in the chat, the Geordie Shore lass confessed she’s already sleeping in separate beds with her husband Ercan Ramadan – despite tying the knot only two months ago.

The surprise sleeping arrangements aren’t due to any marital wobbles though, it’s just that Vicky prefers cuddling up to their two pet pooches at night instead of her hunky man.

Labradors Max and Milo, who both get birthday parties and their own Christmas dinners, have found their way into the master bedroom and are living in the lap of luxury.

She said: “I suppose some people would potentially consider how we treat them a bit outrageous and probably consider them a bit spoiled, but I just think if you’re not willing to have your your dogs and treat them as part of the family I honestly don’t know what the point is.”

New research carried out on behalf of the pet food brand shows that 57 percent of dog owners have a closer connection with their pets than their partners – and that’s at least the case with Vicky when it comes to bedtime.

“I think my behavior, potentially from some, may be judged as outrageous, but it’s just par for the course,” she said.

“Even though I have just got married, I think less than two months, he’s in the spare room and the dogs sleep with me.”

The couple adopted Milo from Dogs Trust three years ago and Max followed 18 months later from Many Tears Animal Rescue.

Vicky described the pair as “completing her little family.”

“Milo is such a handful,” she said. “Anybody who’s gone through the puppy stage can absolutely attest that it is pretty spicy, and you know, we had it all with Milo, the destruction and all of the cheeky little bits.”

Vicky admitted to romanticising those more difficult moments, but her love for the dogs far outweighs any negative aspects of owning a pet.

And she’s keen to give them as much attention as she can, regardless of whether some might find it over the top.

She said: “Every year the boys both get thrown a birthday party and when it comes to big things like Christmas we go the extra mile, whether that’s getting them their own advent calendar from Lily’s Kitchen or making sure they’ve got their own Christmas dinner, their own presents to open in the morning, it’s all just endless.

“But they’ve brought us so much happiness. They’ve turned my house into a home.”

Ercan and Vicky elevated their relationship by having two wedding ceremonies – one at Marylebone Town Hall in August and another weeks later at 19th century Castle Elvira in Puglia, Italy, which was filmed for a TV show.

Her stunning bespoke Suzanne Neville dress needed a deep clean after being caked in fake tan as she partied into the night with loved ones, while her other dresses remains in cases.

Vicky’s toying with the idea of donating them to bring joy to another bride, or may even wear the less formal ones to a red carpet event, citing Kate Middleton‘s penchant for re-wearing fancy garments as inspiration.

Beyond the fairytale nuptials and designer gowns though life hasn’t changed too much for the couple – but that’s not to say the weddings weren’t special.

“I think we were probably living as man and wife a long time before we had the big ceremony,” said Vicky. “But it’s made us feel closer, definitely, and really secure.

“I knew Ercan was the one as soon as I met him and it’s really nice to have had our big celebration and included all my friends and family.

“I’m a bit traditional, I suppose. I feel really nice wearing the ring and seeing my husband. Some people might just see it as a bit of paper and a big party, but for us, it did mean something.”

EPIC Games Store gives away games for PC players every week, and this week’s offering is particularly special.

Instead of one or two games like usual, Epic Games Store is offering players a nine-game bundle.

KonamiThe Castlevania Anniversary Collection contains nine games from the series[/caption]

Even better, the bundle contains games all from the critically acclaimed Castlevania series.

The games are part of the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, which includes Castlevania games originally released on the NES, SNES, and Game Boy.

While these titles are older, they are still seen as some of the best games of that era.

The Castlevania series are 2D platformers, where you traverse the environment and take down different enemies and bosses.

You can download the collection completely free, with no strings attached, and play as many or as few games as you like.

The collection usually costs £16/$20, so you are saving quite a bit of money by picking up this deal.

Here are the nine games that are part of the Castlevania Anniversary Collection:

Castlevania
Castlevania 2 Simon’s Quest
Castlevania 3 Dracula’s Curse
Super Castlevania 4
Castlevania The Adventure
Castlevania 2 Belmont’s Revenge
Castlevania Bloodlines
Kid Dracula
History of Castlevania – Book of the Crescent Moon

If you want to claim the collection for yourself, you can do so via the Epic Games Store website, or directly via the Epic Games Store Launcher.

The launcher is free to download, and required if you want to play the collection, so it’s worth picking up.

Epic Deal

The free games that are offered via the Epic Games Store can be rather hit-and-miss, but this is an excellent collection.

Older games can be some of the best, and this is a great part of gaming history that you can grab.

It’s also one of the biggest drops that Epic Games have offered, and there likely won’t be a deal like it again soon.

In just over a year of starting the account, she had hit one million followers.

Saving Grace

The influencer soon ventured into the world of podcasts and launched her own show named The Saving Grace Podcast.

On the show, she invites celebrities and influencers to open up about their lives and experiences.

The podcast has been a massive hit and has even featured stars including Allison Hammond, Maddison Beer and Rob Becket.

The podcasts’ immense popularity has landed Grace some big TV gigs, including regular appearances on Loose Women.

Olly Nash, an executive producer on the show, shared that fans might be seeing less of the semi-naked shower scenes that have long been a staple of the show.

“It’s funny, they (celebs) have all asked about that this year, but most people just cover themselves up.

“And it’s absolutely changed. I think the whole world has changed, hasn’t it a lot over the years?

“People are less likely to get in there and want to flaunt themselves.

“They ask can you shower nude, do people shower nude?

“And you go, ‘you’re absolutely welcome’.”

The show is known for its Bushtucker trials, which sees celebrities dosed with bugs and forced to eat various parts of different animals.

LINE of Duty star Adrian Dunbar has issued a brand new update as rumours of a brand new series continue to heat up.

The actor has made a confession that he has already coined a brand new catchphrase to include in the show.

BBCAdrian Dunbar has issued another update on Line of Duty[/caption]

Virgin Radio UKHe spoke live on Virgin Radio this morning[/caption]

Adrian, 66, gave the exciting update as he spoke on Virgin Radio UK with Ryan Tubridy this morning.

Hastings has a plethora of his favourite sayings, and it seems he is not too far off adding a few more to his everyday vocabulary.

During his interview, Adrian said: “The one I didn’t get in, which is kind of a really good Irish one about not stopping things happening is, ‘Don’t stall the digger�? ‘Don’t stall the digger�?

“That’s a good one, isn’t it? Like, you know, ‘You’ve got to keep going�? That’s going in the next season.�?lt;/p>

His admission comes after he confirmed to the show host that a brand new script for the show was in the works from writer Jed Mercurio but the cast had yet to receive it.

Adrian said: “He is writing�?We haven’t got a script on the desk yet.

“We know that Dr. Mercurio is out there doing something, Jed is writing. But as to when it’s going to happen, we don’t know.�?lt;/p>

The new revelations from Adrian come after The Sun exclusively reported that he and co-stars Vicky McClure and Martin Compston sat down with Jed to hammer out a deal regarding the upcoming seventh series.

The actors, who starred as DC Kate Fleming, DS Steve Arnott and Supt Ted Hastings, have so far struggled to commit to another season because they are all busy.

An insider said: “Jed is close with Vicky, Martin and Adrian and they often meet for dinner �?this time it was different.

“A topic of conversation was how they could align their schedules in 2025 to ensure Line of Duty 7 happens. The ambition is filming could start next year, with it on screens by early 2026.�?lt;/p>

The Sun revealed two years ago how the team wanted to make a seventh series of the BBC hit after the final season in 2021 failed to satisfy fans.

As a result of the success of Line of Duty all three actors have been in high demand.

Martin, 40, has made two series of thriller The Rig and has just finished psychological drama, Fear.

Adrian, 66, has wrapped stage show Kiss Me Kate in London, and Vicky, 41, made a string of dramas, including thriller Trigger Point.

Baileys is on offer at one supermarket

Alamy

SHOPPERS have just a few hours left to buy a large one litre bottle of Baileys for the cheapest price around.

Fans of the Irish cream liqueur will be delighted that the cost has been cut to just £8.50 ahead of the festive season.

Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur is a festive favourite

Getty

Morrisons slashed the price of the popular tipple last week (November 8), but the deal is only available until midnight tonight.

Shoppers need to spend £45 or more in-store to get their hands on the discounted drink.

Baileys is famed for its smooth luxurious texture and distinctive taste.

With hints of chocolate and vanilla amongst the combination of Irish whiskey and Irish cream, it’s a tantalising mix.

Customers in England and Wales can get their hands on the beverage for £8.50, while those in Scotland can pick up a bottle for £11.05.

This is a 61% saving on the normal price tag of £22.

According to Britain’s coupon kid Jordan Cox, at this time of year there is always a Baileys price war among supermarkets.

He said: “The standard price drop is usually down to £10 for a 1L bottle�?or £9.50 if we’re lucky. So for Morrisons to drop the price to £8.50 is quite astonishing!�?lt;/p>

The Morrisons deal is especially good because supermarket prices have been naturally increasing over the years, he added.

As a seasonal treat, Sainsbury’s also halved the cost of a 1 litre bottle to only £10.

The deal is only available to those with a Nectar Card as part of its Nectar Prices.

Meanwhile, Tesco Clubcard customers can pick up a bottle of Baileys for £13.

The offer is valid for delivery from now until December 9.

It’s worth noting that the prices of items including Baileys can change regularly and deal can start and end at any time.

Though £8.50 is the lowest price we’ve seen so far this festive season, Baileys could still be cheaper between now and Christmas.

Remember to always compare prices when shopping so you know you’re paying the right amount for what you’re getting.

A great way to do this is via the comparison site Trolley which will show the prices for every store.

Supermarkets have increasingly only offered these deals to shoppers who have registered for their loyalty programmes to encourage more people to register.

Shoppers have complained that this is annoying as they could previously get the offers without needing to sign up.

The Morrisons deal is also only available to shoppers who have joined the supermarket’s loyalty scheme and have a More Card.

It is easy to sign up for the loyalty programme, which is free to join.

Simply go to the Morrisons More website and enter a few details such as your address, email and mobile number.

Once you have registered you will be sent a More Card and can download the supermarket’s app.

You will then receive offers which will give you money off your next shop.

To get the prices in store just scan the barcode on your card or in the app.

You will also be able to earn points on your spending which can be converted into coupons.

Once you reach 5,000 points you convert them into £5 vouchers called “Fivers�?which you can spend in-store or online.

If you do not have the app then your Fiver will be printed in-store.

When you scan your card or app you will also be in with a chance of bagging a “Basket Bonus�?which could give you money off your next shop or free treats.

How to save on your supermarket shop

THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.

You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.

If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.

Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.

Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.

This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.

Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.

For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.

If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.

Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.

How else to save on Baileys

To make your pounds go further you could always opt for a Baileys dupe, which is similar to the real thing.

You can pick up a 700ml bottle of Ballycastle cream liqueur from Aldi for £4.99.

A litre of the beverage would cost £7.13, which would save you £1.37.

The Ballycastle range comes in several flavours including Chocolate Clementine, White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter.

All these flavours can be picked up for £7.49.

Other supermarkets including Sainsbury’s, M&S and Lidl also have their own Baileys dupes.

Sainsbury’s 700ml Irish Cream Liqueur costs £13 but Nectar card holders can pick it up for £10.

It would cost £14.28 for a litre, making it more expensive than a bottle of the real deal from Morrisons.

Meanwhile, a 700ml bottle of Carthy’s Country Cream liqueur costs £6.70.

For a whole litre, it would set you back £9.57, making it more expensive than a bottle of Baileys from Morrisons.

JB GILL has landed a huge new job replacing Sam Thompson for I’m A Celeb �?but it starts before the Strictly final.

The JLS star is currently busy on the Strictly dance floor with pro partner Lauren, with the pair dancing through to the Blackpool round on the show.

all rights M VitturJB Gill has landed a huge new job replacing Sam Thompson for I’m A Celeb �?but it starts before the Strictly final.[/caption]

BBCJB is currently performing on Strictly with Lauren[/caption]

But the 37-year-old isn’t letting his dancing get in the way of his brand new gig on The Hits UK Chart on Hits Radio.

JB is going to be covering the show from November 17, which means that if he continues to get through to the next rounds on Strictly, he’ll be a very busy chap.

The music star is covering for regular host Sam Thompson, who is currently in Australia for I’m A Celeb’s spin-off show.

It’s going to be the first the singer is counting down the charts, rather than listening out for his own chart position in JLS.

But Strictly is known to end around Christmas, meaning JB will be juggling his work commitments if his dancing keeps him on the show.

Of his new position, JB said: “What an honour to be covering for my mate Sam whilst he’s in Australia for I’m a Celeb�?I have listened to the charts ever since I was a little kid and I’m going to get such a kick out of hosting the show and revealing that all-important number one to listeners.

“Hope you can all join me from this Sunday to countdown the UK’s biggest hits!�?lt;/p>

Strictly took an unexpected turn for JLS singer JB Gill, who was initially paired up with Amy Dowden as his pro dancing partner.

After Amy suffered from an unexpected stress fracture, the show has had to go on without her.

JB Gill is now dancing with Lauren Oakley, who was quickly subbed in to replace Amy when she was rushed to the hospital.

JB’s new dance partner has paid tribute to the work Amy did with the pop star before she arrived on the scene, saying: “Leading on from the groundwork Amy’s put in, I just want to carry the torch forward as much as I can because she’s done all the work.”

Lauren added: “I want to do the partnership justice and bring my flare to JB as well because he got the best of both worlds working with a couple of professionals.”

Amy recently broke down in tears during an appearance on It Takes Two, telling fans she is “absolutely gutted” and “heartbroken” to pull out from the show.

She also said she is hopeful she will be back dancing “in some capacity” before the series ends next month.

ROCHESTER is thought to have inspired Charles Dickens more than any other town in the UK.

Located in Kent, Dickens is said to have spent his childhood in the Medway town, with its buildings inspiring the Victorian author.

AlamyRochester claims to be the town that inspired Charles Dickens more than any other in the UK[/caption]

AlamyThe historic English town is home to a string of independent shops, some of which look like they’ve been plucked from a Dickensian novel[/caption]

Outside of London, Rochester claims to be the UK town that inspired Charles Dickens the most.

One place in Rochester where the prolific author took inspiration was Restoration House.

The Elizabethan Townhouse inspired the home of Estella and Miss Havisham in Great Expectations.

Rochester was used as a filming location for the 1989 version of Great Expectations that starred Anthony Hopkins and Jean Simmons.

Nowadays, Restoration House is open to the public, with visitors able to explore the walled gardens and rare collections of poetry.

Other buildings that have been immortalised by the author include Travellers House and the Guildhall Museum.

The neighbouring Eastgate House, a Grade-I listed building, also featured in the works of Charles Dickens.

Dating back to the 16th century, the townhouse underwent a huge £2.2million renovation project in recent years.

Garden visitors can explore the author’s chalet, which was once located at his home at Gad’s Hill Place in Higham.

For fans of the author, December is arguably the best time to visit – and it’s not just because a version of the Christmas Carol will be playing on the telly.

Every year, Rochester plays host to the Dickensian Christmas Festival.

The Victorian festival celebrates the work of Charles Dickens, with street performers and costumed characters filling the streets.

This year’s festival will be held on December 7 and December 8, with a Mistletoe Costumed Ball taking place on December 6.

Away from Charles Dickens, Rochester is packed with even more history too.

The Medway town is also home to Rochester Castle – a Norman keep that boasts panoramic views of the River Medway.

There’s also Rochester Cathedral.

Dating back to 604 AD, Rochester Cathedral is thought to be the second oldest cathedral in the country.

Its high street is also lined with independent shops, cafes and traditional pubs.

Brits who want to follow in the footsteps of Charles Dickens will want to head for a swift drink at The Royal Victoria and Bull Hotel where the famous writer is thought to have stayed.

Rochester is a 90-minute drive from London and it’s a 45-minute drive to Ashford.

The other UK town that inspired Charles Dickens

BURY St Edmunds in Suffolk may appear to be a typical British town, but it has a fascinating history all of its own.

Included in that is its inclusion as a setting in Dickens’ novel Pickwick papers.

The town, and the Angel Hotel, both feature very prominently in the novel; the Victorian author is known to have stayed in the accommodation on several occasions.

Fittingly, the town was also chosen as the setting for the 2019 film The Personal History of David Copperfield, with the hotel appearing on the screen.

Actor Dev Patel and his co-stars, including Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie and Peter Capaldi were filmed throughout the town as they brought the story to a new audience.

The Angel is still up and running and is now a boutique 4 star hotel right in the centre of town, famed for its ivy-clad walls.

It’s not the only famous Bury St Edmunds establishment that Dickens used to frequent, with the Nutshell also said to be a favourite haunt of the writer.

Meanwhile, this is the smallest town in the UK – and it has a Michelin starred restaurant.

And this UK village has been compared to a 1940s film set.

CORONATION Street legend Wendi Peters has hit out at soap bosses for the way they axed Les Battersby.

The actress – who played the iconic Cilla Battersby-Brown in the ITV soap until 2014 – also revealed how she would want them to kill off Cilla should the time come.

GettyWendi has hit out at Coronation Street bosses for how they axed Les[/caption]

Cilla and Les were on of Corrie’s most iconic couples

Rex

The Sun exclusively revealed how Les was being killed off off-screen in an upcoming dramatic storyline.

Actor Bruce Jones, who played Les for a decade, admitted feeling snubbed by ITV last month – after learning the news via email.

The actor, 71, who was suspended in 2007 after insulting fans and revealing top secret plotlines during a boozy night out, said: “I got an email from the casting office saying, ‘Dear Mr Jones, I am sorry to inform you Les Battersby will die in the next few months.

“I read the email and thought, why send me an email like that? Why call me Mr. Jones? Why not call me Bruce?

“That annoyed me a little bit, but then I felt relieved. Maybe it’s time for me to go now.�?lt;/p>

Wendi, who also joined the cast of BBC soap Doctors in February 2023 as Nina Bulsara for seven months, says: “It’s a bit bizarre.

“I guess we haven’t been there for 20 years, so we’re not under contract. They can decide whatever they want to do.

“However, there might have been a nicer way of approaching it.�?lt;/p>

As for Cilla’s own potential ending, Wendi hopes it’s dramatic.

ITV bosses haven’t invited her back since but she hopes that if her iconic character does get killed off it will be a dramatic finale.

The Lancashire-born star says: “It would have to be an outrageous ending for Cilla.

“We went to Africa for a one-off for a DVD so maybe she could be eaten by lions.�?amp;nbsp;

She has a few keepsakes from her time on the soap stashed away.

She says: “I have my wedding script that Status Quo signed for me because they sang at Les and Cilla’s wedding. They came out when I went back for a few weeks when Jenni was leaving for her maternity leave but they never venture out otherwise. I still have Cilla’s jewellery and silver bag.

My daughter will inherit it one day and go, ‘what on earth is this?’�?lt;/p>

She’s not ruling out more soap work but her love for theatre remains strong and she is still keen to follow in the footsteps of her comedy heroine – Patricia Routledge.

Coronation Street - Gemma and Chesney's income

CORONATION Street’s Gemma and Chesney Winter-Brown are hiding a HUGE monthly income – despite pleading poverty.

The couple – who have five kids between them – often find themselves struggling for money.

But a die-hard fan of the ITV show worked out what the couple really had in the bank, and it will surprise some viewers.

The viewer’s workings included:

Earnings:

Gemma income (20hrs/wk) £990
Chesney income (25hrs/wek) £1,185
Universal Credit (as a couple) £2,500
Child Benefit £405

Total: £5,080

Outgoings:

Rent £1,525
Council Tax (Band A) £130
Gas and electricity £320
Water £45
TV licence £15
Broadband and landline £25
TV packages £15
House contents insurance £10
Petrol for car £40
Parking, bus, tram, taxis £40
Car insurance £70
Road tax £20
Car maintenance £50
Medical, dental, opticians £80
School clubs, kids activities £120
Food £1,600
Clothes £200
Toiletries £180
Laundry + cleaning products £120
Incidental £50
Household goods/replacements £50

Total: £4,750

This means the couple would have almost £300 a month spare.

Wendi admits: “I’d love to work on a sitcom like Alma’s Not Normal. I’ve never done a sitcom or a British comedy and I would absolutely love to.�?lt;/p>

THOUSANDS of Brits in Benidorm have taken on an unusual form of fundraising for victims of the recent storms in Spain as they party in the streets in fancy dress.

As the Benidorm “Fancy Dress Party” took to the streets, collection tins were in full force as the parade organisers hoped to support the flood victims.

SolarpixBenidorm’s beloved Fancy Dress Party raised money for the victims of the catastrophic flood that devastated parts of Spain[/caption]

SolarpixThousands of party-goers were keen to donate much needed funds[/caption]

SolarpixThe Fancy Dress party was held on November 14[/caption]

Meanwhile, several party hot-spots in Benidorm such as Marina Resort, Funky Flamingo, and Jolly Roger also pledged to raise much needed funds.

The participating establishments went all-in with donation boxes hoping to raise thousands of euros.

Benidorm Fancy Dress Party organisers said: “We’re banking on a major response to this fundraising effort, especially with the Fancy Dress crowd so eager to contribute.”

Meanwhile, a pilot shared the shocking moment he managed to land a small plane at Malaga airport after the runway was surrounded by floodwater after the area was battered by red-level storms.

Severe storms have dumped a month’s worth of rain in an hour wreaking havoc across the Malaga province.

Despite heavy rain and strong winds, the aircraft successfully descended onto Runway 12 on Wednesday.

The footage, reportedly filmed by a passenger in the cockpit shows heavy rain hammering down onto the window, as the runway is barely visible

As the aircraft’s altitude lowers, the camera moves to show the ground below.

Trees seem to be barely above the water after a surge in the River Guadalhorce sent water crashing close to the airport.

Malaga Airport’s website showed no arrivals to be listed for the evening, as reported by NeedToKnow.

Scheduled departures out of the airport were also cancelled yesterday.

Aena, the national airport operator, has advised passengers to check with their airlines for any updates before travelling to the airport.

Residents have been advised to refrain from any unnecessary travel after the Spanish State Meteorological Agency issued a red alert.

Marbella was battered by giant hail after massive deluge caused chaos turning streets into rivers.

In the early hours of the morning, hail stones dropped like bullets from the sky during an intense 20-minute storm between downpours that began shortly before midnight.

Spanish weather forecaster AEMET said up to 70mm (roughly 3 inches) of rain had accumulated in an hour.

The average for the region for November would be 100.5 mm.

It comes after catastrophic floods swept through Spain, killing more than 200 people.

Hellish scenes when the floods were rampant saw roads turned into rivers and torrents of debris-filled mud sweeping away cars, people, animals and buildings.

More than 1,200 troops, dozens of specialist sniffer dogs and rescue workers have all been battling against the torrid conditions to try and find any survivors.

The latest piece of tech being used to help recover bodies is a research ship called the Ramón Margalef.

It has been enlisted to undertake the grim task of searching for cars and bodies swept out to sea in the catastrophic floods.

The vessel will be using robot submarine and sonar to scan and map the seabed in the increasingly desperate search for those who were swept away.

The northeastern region of Catalonia was also hit with flash floods in an eerily similar disaster to the ones that struck Valencia.

Agonising scenes saw roads turned into rivers and torrents of debris-filled mud sweeping away cars, people, animals and buildings.

A nearby river had burst its banks, just as many had some 10 days ago in and around Valencia.

There were no human casualties reported, although one local resident expressed their fears in a post on X writing: “The situation is very serious in Cadaques.”

Spain riots & fury over floods

By Georgie English, Foreign News Reporter

HUNDREDS of thousands of people marched through the streets of Valencia as they hurled burning flares, bottles and brooms at the heavily armoured officers – protesting over the deadly Spanish floods.

Demonstrators demanded several top officials – including the regional president of the city – to resign over the torrential flooding as they continue to blast how the catastrophe was dealt with.

Regional leader Carlos Mazon has been heavily scrutinised after his administration took hours to issue any kind of flood warning to citizens.

Hundreds died in the tragic disaster which started on October 29 with many people still missing across eastern Spain.

Over the weekend, droves of passionate marchers called for Mazon to leave his role as they protested outside Valencia’s city hall.

Hundreds came with angry signs reading things such as “Mazon Resign” and “You Killed Us”.

As others spent hours chanting in the streets and even threw mud at the government building in protest.

Riot police had lined up outside the city hall building as the evening drew close before hell broke loose with protesters launching a barrage of items at the cops.

The city’s mayor, Maria Jose Catala, took to social media and posted pics of broken windows and a video appearing to show a fire being started.

She captioned: “Vandalism is not the solution.”

Thousands of people have watched their homes and belongings be destroyed from the floods, with streets still coated in mud and debris.

Earlier this month, more Spain flood survivors were seen throwing mud at King Felipe.

Fuming residents chanted “murderers!” as the monarch and his wife Queen Letizia walked through the ravaged streets of Paiporta, just outside Valencia.

Spain‘s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also had to be evacuated from the scene, according to Spanish broadcaster RTVE, as chaos erupted when the official contingent started to walk.

Footage showed people attacking the PM’s car, chasing the black SUV as police sirens were heard in the background.

Mazon, from the conservative Popular Party, was quick to defend his actions.

He said that his officials didn’t receive enough warning from central government and that the scale of the disaster was unforeseeable.

AS soon as the Christmas advert season began, all eyes were on John Lewis to see what it had in store.

But it seems another retailer has stolen viewers’ hearts this year.

Tesco’s 2024 Christmas Advert reflects on the effects of loss during the festive period

As the Christmas ads start rolling, most of us begin to start getting into the festive spirit – and we also tend to shed a tear or two.

John Lewis has become well-known for its emotional and heartwarming Christmas adverts.

But the real tear-jerker this year isn’t the usual suspect, with some people saying Tesco‘s three minute advert is far better than the John Lewis Campaign.

The ad follows a man called Gary who is trying to navigate Christmas while mourning the loss of his grandmother.

It touches on how the festive period can cause conflicting emotions for many people who are missing a loved one.

The soundtrack for the ad is Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz, and it opens with Gary visiting his grandfather, then pans to a flashback of him visiting his late nan.

He gets up to leave, and at the door his grandfather hands him a packet of Tesco gingerbread men.

Taking a bite of one of the biscuits, Gary’s world transforms into a magical Christmas landscape where sugary treats burst out of every corner.

But when he thinks about the absence of his grandmother, his festive dreamland begins to crumble.

So, Gary decides to rekindle a Christmas tradition he had with his grandmother by sitting with his grandfather and building a gingerbread house.

The pair are seen to “rebuild” their lives after the loss, as the ad finishes with the entire family sitting down and having Christmas dinner together.

The table spread features glimpses of Tesco’s festive range including a turkey and pigs in blankets.

Becky Brock, group customer director at Tesco, said: “We want our Christmas campaign to connect people with the joy of moments that help feed our Christmas spirit and showcase how Tesco can help you do just that.

“We appreciate that even if you love Christmas, there can be
little things that eat away at your Christmas spirit as well as things that help to feed it.”

People went crazy for the short film on social media, celebrating its ability to connect with viewers.

One person wrote on X: “The Tesco Christmas ad is AMAZING!”

Another person said: “I’ve just watched the Tesco Christmas ad and it’s completely correct and has got the tone right.”

While someone commented: “Tesco Christmas ad is all about the spirit of Christmas. Normal people, normal lives.”

A fourth warned: “Check it out, it’s the best I’ve seen so far – but I dare you not to shed a tear.”

The usual tear-jerker on the block, John Lewis, has faced much less praise this winter season.

Another X user wrote: “@JohnLewisRetail That was a bad Christmas ad, I’m sorry but Tesco wins it this year.”

John Lewis is famous for pulling on the heart strings at Christmas time, previously spending as much as £7 million on a single campaign.

It spent almost that much this time round, and is classed as the biggest advertising event of the year.

In its two minute long advert for 2024, named The Gifting Hour, the story line follows a woman’s urgent hunt for a gift for her sister.

For the first time in 17 years, the John Lewis store actually features in the mini-film.

The ad, created by Saatchi & Saatchi, follows the woman, named Sally, rushing around the John Lewis shop floor.

Then she is transported down memory lane, and she tries to navigate childhood memories and pick up clues on what to buy her sister.

When she finds the perfect gift she reenters reality and find its already wrapped.

She then heads outside and shares a special moment with her sister, followed by the strap line: “The secret to the perfect gift? Knowing where to look.”

John Lewis purposefully leaves the contents of the gift a mystery to emphasise sentiment over material value.

However the heart-warming message fell short, with one person posting on X: “That’s it, Christmas is ruined. The John Lewis ad is quite comfortably the worst one yet.”

Another said: “Very disappointed, I wanted the John Lewis Christmas ad to make me cry and give me a sense of family and home.

“I have loved all previous ads because what sets them apart is they never actually focused on shopping, this year you have.”

Some viewers weren’t impressed by the song choice for this year’s ad.

One person wrote on X: “Where’s the slow emotional cover we usually get?”

Despite usually using a cover version of a famous song for its adverts, the campaign opts for The Sonnet by The Verve sung by the original band members.

It serves as a nod to the 90s, which has had a major resurgence this year.

It has also been left open to the audience as John Lewis searches for a coverstar on TikTok – and legendary lead singer of the band Richard Ashcroft will help pick the new star.

The winner will record and release their own track with BMG and a version of the advert with their rendition will be played on TV on Christmas Day.

They will also win a £3,000 shopping spree and tickets to a Richard Ashcroft headline show in 2025.

Proceeds from the single will be donated to the John Lewis Partnership’s Building Happier Futures programme, which helps care-experienced people.

This year, the advert is the final instalment of a three-part series, to relaunch the chain’s Never Knowingly Undersold pledge.

It will air first on John Lewis�?social media platforms at 8am tomorrow, but MyJohnLewis members can watch it from 8am on the John Lewis website.

It will be broadcast on TV during the ad break for Coronation Street on ITV at 8.45pm on Friday November 15.

How to save money on Christmas shopping

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.

Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.

Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.

Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.

Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.

Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.

Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.

Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.

They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.

Others weren’t impressed by the lack of men visible onscreen throughout the John Lewis advert.

An X user wrote: “No mention of men in the advert. According to John Lewis men don’t shop or have families.”

On GB News, Dr Renee Hoenderkamp complained: “There’s no men in it. There’s no brothers, no husbands, there’s no grandpas – it’s all women.

“Christmas is about family, which includes men and women.”

But other viewers saw it as celebrating women.

CHRISTMAS carols are seeing a resurgence in popularity �?thanks to Gen Z.

A study of 2,000 adults who celebrate the festive season found 85 per cent either enjoy hearing or singing carols during December.

But it’s Gen Z who claim to be the biggest fans (90 per cent), with 29 per cent saying hearing the music reminds them of their time at school.

While 43 per cent said it helps them remember fond memories with their friends and family.

It also emerged Gen Z are more likely to know the words to classics including ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas�?and ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas�?than their older Millennial, Gen X and Boomer counterparts.

�?lt;a href="//www.mcb777.site/fabulous/5206734/jingle-bells-not-christmas-song/">Jingle Bells�? �?lt;a href="//www.mcb777.site/news/17076702/silent-night-most-magical-christmas-carol/">Silent Night�?and ‘We Three Kings�?are also among the carols young adults are more likely to be able to sing along to than all other age groups.

Following the findings, Chessington World of Adventures, which commissioned the research, hosted an adrenaline-fuelled concert that saw The Crypt Choir of The King’s School Canterbury belt out a rendition of Ding Dong! Merrily on High on its Mandrill Mayhem rollercoaster �?at 45mph and 66ft up in the air.

Howard Ebison, divisional director of Chessington World of Adventures which is kicking off its Christmas event, Winter’s Tail, with the extreme carol concert, said: “Many of us love carols �?particularly the younger generation judging by these findings.

“We love bringing a little extra excitement to the festive season, and what better way than combining the joy of Christmas carols with the thrills of our rides?

“We’re excited to have partnered with the incredible Crypt Choir of The King’s School Canterbury for this one-of-a-kind performance.�?lt;/p>

The research also revealed the nation’s top carols, with ‘Silent Night�?at the top of the list.

This was followed by ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful�?and ‘Jingle Bells�? with ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas�?and ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing�?completing the top five.

Other popular tunes included Away in a Manager, Once in Royal David’s City and Little Donkey.

Three in 10 (30 per cent) of those polled said carols are one of their favourite things about the festive season.

Despite the appeal of Christmas pop hits, 45 per cent still prefer timeless traditional carols, with 21 per cent confessing to listening to festive songs almost daily during this time.

While 67 per cent said carols are crucial in creating the perfect holiday atmosphere.

The research, carried out via OnePoll, found of all adults polled, 41 per cent admitted they appreciate Christmas carols more when everything around them feels festive.

A quarter listen to them a few times a week during the festive season, saying their favourite places to listen are at home (25 per cent), shopping centres and stores (18 per cent) and church (17 per cent).

While 14 per cent find listening to Christmas music comforting at any time of the year, 28 per cent warn that listening to it too early can lead to festive burnout.

More than half (52 per cent) of young adults aged 18-27 consider November an acceptable time for Christmas carols to be played, with only 16 per cent of Boomers feeling the same way.

But 40 per cent of younger adults claim it’s never too early to start up the Christmas music.

And they are more likely to listen to the festive songs daily than those in their late 50s onwards.

Younger adults are also more likely to be attending a carol concert this year �?while 31 per cent of adults hope to go to one, this rises to 38 per cent of Gen Z and 47 per cent of millennials.

But 12 per cent of all those polled find carols boring, with 18 per cent admitting they haven’t sung one since they were in school.

The Crypt Choir of The King’s School Canterbury will launch Chessington World of Adventures Winter’s Tail event, which includes a grotto, live shows and entertainment, with an exclusive carol concert for guests on 23rd November.

Will Bersey, director of music at The King’s School Canterbury said: “Such extreme carol singing was an experience our choristers won’t forget any time soon.

“Singing traditional carols while riding a rollercoaster was a challenge, but one we embraced with great enthusiasm.

“We’re looking forward to our festive performance at the Winter’s Tail event, though perhaps from a more stationary position.”

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN appeared to let slip an X-rated word as he suffered a shock defeat.

The Rocket led Xiao Guodong 3-0 in the quarter-final of the Champion of Champions, yet managed to lose 4-3.

Ronnie O’Sullivan cut a frustrated figure after one shot

He slumped into his chair once he knew defeat was inevitable

The Rocket threw away a 3-0 lead to lose 4-3

Xiao is in the form of his career after winning the Wuhan Open last month – the first ranking tournament he has won.

But it took O’Sullivan suffering one of his biggest collapses in recent memory for the Xiao to win.

O’Sullivan, 48, was in his free-flowing best as he raced into a 3-0 lead �?thanks to breaks of 95 and 125 �?on day four of the Champion of Champions.

But then Chinese world No18 won the next three frames with breaks of 130, 88 and 85 as the seven-time world champion could only rack in seven points.

In a nervy final-frame decider, Guodong missed a red to the middle pocket, which was essentially match ball.

That meant O’Sullivan was left in a rare position of needing snookers to win.

He potted the yellow and had the perfect opportunity to play the cue ball in behind the pink, but left the green open.

The seven-time world champion fumed at himself over the shot and after making his way back to his seat he appeared to say “s***e”.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS

Inside Ronnie's colourful career

FROM his lightning breaks to blasts at officials, Ronnie O'Sullivan has fired snooker into the spotlight.

The seven-time world champion makes almost as big an impact away from the table as on it.

O’Sullivan has three children – two daughters and a son.

And the Rocket’s on-off relationship with British actress Laila Rouass has also hit the headlines.

He has opened up on battles with his weight and addiction.

While the controversial cueist reckons he wasted NINE YEARS of his career by partying too hard.

Despite being worth £14million, O’Sullivan is renowned for his love of canal boats and snubbing flashy cars.

His rivalry with fellow star Judd Trump has been branded ‘snooker’s greatest feud’.

And Ali Carter had his nose knocked out of joint by the Rocket in their infamous ‘Snotgate’ row.

Check out all our latest Ronnie O’Sullivan articles.

He still had a chance to win but the positions of the balls meant he was unable to produce a snooker, and he conceded the match a few shots later.

O’Sullivan is a four-time winner of this tournament but it means he will head to the UK Championship �?where he is the defending champion �?in poor form.

He was knocked out in the Round of 32 of the International Championship this month and the Round of 64 of the English Open prior to that.

THIS is the savage moment a moped “menace” was floored with a kung-fu kick to the head just seconds after toppling over the bike.

Footage shows a man trying to move the parked moped from the middle of the road.

Shocking footage shows a would-be thief trying to manoeuvre a parked moped

A helmeted man then comes into view before delivering a kung-fu kick

He is seen leaning on the heavy moped in a bid to shove it out of the way.

But the moped topples over onto the tarmac – just as a helmeted man comes into view.

Do you know more? Email Harry Goodwin: [email protected]

None the wiser, the man in the road gives up and starts walking back to the pavement.

The helmeted man is seen sprinting over to him – with bystanders heard shouting: “Man on, man on!”

He then springs into the air and launches a kung-fu kick at the other man’s back.

The fly kick instantly floors the other man, who is left lying in the road as a car glides past.

According to eyewitnesses, the suspect was in the process of trying to start the moped when the member of the public rushed toward him and delivered the powerful fly kick.

The intervention startled the would-be thief, who immediately fled the scene, leaving the moped behind.

Police have praised the bystander’s courage but reminded the public to exercise caution in such situations.

“While we understand the impulse to protect others’ property, we encourage people to call the police rather than putting themselves at risk,” said a spokesperson.

The moped was returned to its owner, who expressed gratitude for the bystander’s quick thinking.

Local authorities are investigating the attempted theft and reviewing CCTV footage from the area to identify the suspect.

Meanwhile, a resurfaced clip shows the moment a man was hit by a bus – before he hopped right up and walked straight into a pub.

Another video shows brazen thieves using a bizarre technique to steal cars from driveways in the middle of the night.

And this is the terrifying moment masked thugs fired a shotgun at staff in a brazen daylight raid – after smashing their way in with axes.

WALSALL kitman Dave Joyce and pitch-side announcer Simon Hill have both been charged with misconduct by the FA.

The pair allegedly acted in an “improper manner” in stoppage time during Walsall’s 1-1 draw against Crewe Alexandra in League Two on Saturday.

RexA kitman and pitch-side announcer at Walsall have been charged by the FA[/caption]

RexThe charges relate to an incident during the Saddlers’ League Two match against Crewe on Saturday[/caption]

With both sides pushing for a winner, a stoppage-time scuffle broke out when staff refused to give the ball back after it went out of play.

Walsall kitman Joyce was sent off by referee Stephen Parkinson for the touchline melee.

The ref then turned to book Crewe boss Lee Bell and Saddlers defender Liam Gordon.

An FA statement read: “It’s alleged that David Joyce and Simon Hill acted in an improper manner around the 98th minute, and both of them have until November 18 to respond.”

Omar Bogle opened the scoring for Crewe in the 66th minute when he crept in behind the Walsall defence to slot past Tommy Simkin.

The home side equalised through Nathan Lowe with five minutes of normal time remaining before tempers flared in the closing stages.

Tensions arose as both sides are pushing for promotion to League One, with Walsall sitting second and Crewe inside the play-off places.

Mat Sadler’s side are three points adrift of league leaders Port Vale, but do have a game in hand.

HORRIFYING videos have continued to emerge from inside a battered cruise that was left in chaos following powerful 85mph swells.

The packed ship appeared to tilt almost 45 degrees as it was struck by heavy winds that sent passengers screaming in terror as objects – including a grand piano – flew around the unstable vessel.

thunderb4lightnin/TikTokTerrified passengers ran for safety as one person on a chair was sent sliding across the deck[/caption]

thunderb4lightnin/TikTokFood – including a whole chicken – was seen spread across the vessel[/caption]

Travellers said they were left fearing they would “die like on the Titanic” as they rushed to send panicked text messages to loved ones.

Terrifying new footage shows how the Explorer of the Seas started to rock as the unexpected weather took a turn.

One shocking clip shows a person sat on a chair quickly beginning to slide around the lower deck as the boat continues to tilt.

As others begin to feel their feet give way under them many make a desperate dash to hold onto a surface to stay upright.

Several stores inside the ship were left trashed with all their products laid bare on the ground.

Jewellery boxes and sunglasses had all been getting tossed around the ship during the moments of horror.

Video from behind the bar in one of the ship’s restaurants even shows how the swells sent glass bottles flying.

Booze had broken loose from their containers and been sent smashing towards the ground.

Leaving piles of swirling liquids and shards of glass all across the backroom.

Uneaten food was also spotted left deserted on the floor.

A whole chicken laid bare among some chairs surrounded by silver tins, spoons and other spoilt grub.

Over in the casino staff were seen panicking as lights, chairs and tables all toppled over.

Passenger Randy Moore was in the theatre when the swells first hit and said he felt multiple surges.

He said: “First there was a lot of screaming going on in the theatre. Then 30 seconds later the ship tilted even more to one side.

“That’s when a lot of screaming started and stuff started to slide across the stage and it was kind of scary for a minute.”

Fellow cruise traveller Jonathon Parrish told CBS News: “Right then and there you could hear all the glass dropping from the bar and breaking.

“They had a grand piano that flew across the stage.”

The Royal Caribbean cruise ship was heading from Spain to Miami on November 7 when it was hit by freak weather and powerful 86mph winds off the coast of Africa.

The vessel was near Tenerife at the time.

There were 5,000 people on board, and the tilt held its terrifying angle for an agonising three minutes.

thunderb4lightnin/TikTokSmashed up bottles of booze were also left over the ground in the swell[/caption]

The Royal Caribbean confirmed one passenger was injured and required further medical attention.

The 12-night cruise was forced to stop off in Las Palmas, Spain, so the injured guest could be seen to.

Passenger Dan, from Toronto, Canada, was left thinking he was going to die and even went as far as to send last messages.

He recalled: “When I left the pub I could hear screaming sounds, glasses were falling around and the cruise had started tilting.

“You can see a whole advertisement sign hit a guy and he saves himself and grabs his girlfriend. He was in a state of shock.

“I wondered if this was a normal thing but the more I heard people screaming that’s when I got scared and had to turn the video off.

“It wasn’t the full tilt you see in the video, but around half way. It was like the Titanic.

“I was writing my last message thinking that I would die.”

MARRIAGE is meant to be the ultimate commitment to your partner – but when you only meet them at the altar, it can turn into a nightmare.

And that has been the reality for many couples who have got wed on E4‘s Married at First Sight.

Simon Johns / Channel 4There was a lot of drama in this week’s MAFS reunion[/caption]

Most of the cast have fallen out with Ross as he allegedly hasn’t paid money back

Eroteme

Channel 4Ross was paired with Sacha Jones in the most recent series of MAFS[/caption]

But it’s not just ugly break-ups that occur after the cameras stop rolling, with many former friends and co-stars descending into bitter feuds and even brawls.

Here, we reveal some of the biggest MAFS spats that reared their heads after filming wrapped from the UK and Aussie shows.

Grooms’ backlash over ‘unpaid debts’

Ross McCarthy, 32, was one of the most loved stars in this series, thanks to his romance with Sacha Jones.

But he has left his fellow grooms furious after allegedly borrowing money that he’s yet to repay back.

A source told The Sun that many of the lads he filmed with are refusing to speak to him now after lending him their cash.

They said: “A lot of the grooms are not happy with Ross as he borrowed money from several of them during filming, and it all turned a bit nasty.

“They had to chase him to pay them back for months, and now lots of them aren’t speaking to him and none of them are following him any more on social media.

“Even though it was initially an issue between the lads, a lot of the brides on the show have sided with their husbands and are no longer in contact with Ross.�?lt;/p>

A different source placed close to Ross claims he has paid all of his debts, but things are so bitter between the men that the others have refused to film the Christmas reunion if the painter and decorator takes part.

The source said: “They don’t even refer to him as Ross anymore, they call him ‘that man’. It’s one of the biggest feuds in MAFS history.�?lt;/p>

Having a brawl

E4Luke had two physical spats with Jordan but never made it into the boxing ring[/caption]

E4Luke was kicked off the show over this fight, before reigniting the row at a PLT Christmas party[/caption]

When it comes to drama, Jordan Gayle can’t seem to stay away as he’s found himself repeatedly feuding with fellow series eight groom Luke Worley.

The pair had numerous spats on the show, which eventually culminated in Luke being removed from the show after hitting Jordan.

Luke went on to brand his rival a “f***ing scumbag”.

In further cringe-inducing scenes, the pair went on to have a second scrap at a Pretty Little Thing Christmas event in December 2023.

Jordan claims Luke attacked him for a second time and managed to scratch his eye.

Prior to the clash, the pair had agreed to step into the ring for a boxing match to settle their differences.

But it never happened, with Luke’s lack of training being allocated the blame.

Announcing the cancellation, the official DKM Plush boxing page announced: “It is with deep regret we announce that the scheduled bout between Luke Worley & Jordan Gayle has been cancelled by ourselves (DKM Plush).

“Boxing can be a brutal, unforgiving sport & due to the comments outside of training for the scheduled bout, we have concerns that Luke hasn’t been able to train as we would expect from him worthy of a 5 x 2 min bout on February 9th.”

Jordan told The Sun at the time: “Just the fact that he’d not been in the boxing gym, they were worried he was not taking it seriously.

“They were basically worried for his health, that if I fought him, I could do some serious damage because he was not taking it seriously.

“Obviously it’s not a good look for him and they didn’t want to pay him that money because he hadn’t earned it.”

Banned from WhatsApp group

Channel 4Charlie and Eve’s relationship became very toxic[/caption]

Matt Monfredi / Channel 4Charlie claims Eve banned her from the cast WhatsApp group after the show[/caption]

Charlie Curtis, 30, and Eve Reid, 31, struggled to make their marriage work on this year’s series and quickly called it quits.

Viewers branded their relationship toxic and claimed Eve had “bulldozed�?any chance of making the marriage work.

But behind the scenes, Charlie claimed she was cut off from the other cast members as they sided with Eve’s version of why their relationship broke down.

“[Eve] didn’t want anything to do with me after the show, she blocked me on everything,�?Charlie said in a TikTok.

“She didn’t want me in the group chat, the girls and some of the boys were good friends with her at this point and I wasn’t in the group chats.�?lt;/p>

Since the show started airing in September, Charlie claims she has been added back into chats because the other cast members have seen what actually went down.

Bum deal

NineEllie Dix had intially been matched with Ben but chose Jono instead[/caption]

Ben posted a TikTok aimed at winding up rival groom Jono

TikTok

MAFS Australia is known to be filled with drama and it doesn’t stop when the filming ends.

Grooms Ben Walters, 39, and Jono McCullogh, 39, didn’t get on during their series, especially as Ben’s on screen wife, Ellie Dix, 32, went on to date Jono.

Jono had in fact been texting Ellie behind the back of his wife, Lauren Dunn, 32.

Clearly still annoyed from being passed over, Ben posted a now-deleted video showing himself wiping his bottom with a magazine feature Jono and Ellie on the cover.

It was likely the short clip was aimed at annoying his rival, but had the opposite effect.

Post a reponse video, Ben said: “This video goes out to Benny boy. I saw you used our New Idea article to wipe your bum the other day.

“It’s actually pretty good, the best joke you’ve done, which isn’t saying much.

“I was going to do the same thing, but then I realised you don’t have a New Idea article.”

Five-year spat

Instagram/@jessika_powerJessika ignited a social media spat commenting on a podcast about Cyrell[/caption]

Married at first sight / NineCyrell took aim at Jessika in return[/caption]

Jessika Power, 31, and Cyrell Paule, 30, appeared in the Australian version of the show in 2019, but haven’t stopped taking shots at each other.

The pair initally feuded because Jessika had a fling with Cyrell’s boyfriend Eden before the couple got together.

But things escalated again in September when they had a spat over Jessika agreing with another reality star who slammed Cyrell.

In a podcast, the woman called Cyrell “scary” and claimed she had PTSD from their interaction.

It prompted Jessika to comment: “She’s as reactive as they come. She will find an argument out of thin air that woman.”

Furious that her former co-star had got involved, Cyrell posted a long rebuttal calling Jessika a “b*****”.

She added: “For someone like you who likes to run their mouth when the only thing you seem to have run out of is money.

“Still a fake a*s irrelevant b***h trying to comment so you can make headlines again.

“I hope me giving you attention can help rebuild your career. God knows you need the money.”

The pair continued to spat online for the rest of the evening.

Humiliating divorce reveal

Channel 4Steph found out that Ben was divorcing her when he announced it on the radio[/caption]

Ben Jardine, 36, and Stephaine Saint Remy, 32, weren’t exactly a match made in heaven and it came out after the show that he’d cheated on her before they’d even gone on their honeymoon.

The 2017 couple were popular with fans in the early stages of the show but things turned sour.

But while things weren’t smooth sailing, Steph was horrified when she discovered they were getting divorced… by listening to the radio.

At the time, she said: “He was divorcing me. He had cheated on me. He was announcing it on the radio. There are very few moments in your life that truly rock you to your core.

Stephanie went on to explain: “Ben called me later that night and we talked for an hour.

“I asked why he had lied to me about the cheating, but he swore on his mother’s life to me that he had never even kissed another girl since the day we were matched.

“I told him I had listened to it and heard the words come out of his mouth that he had had a ‘kiss and a cuddle�?which is how he refers to sex. I asked how he could say that if it wasn’t true and he replied ‘well, it’s just what you say isn’t it�?”

She claimed that they’d never broached the subject of divorce in a conversation before he said it in an interview.

Mafs couples that have stood the test of time

Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.

The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.

Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.

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.

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 – and excited for everything to come.�?lt;/p>

Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.

Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.

“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.

“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?�?lt;/p>

“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.�?lt;/p>

Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.

Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.

They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.

Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’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.”

But now it has taken nearly 11 months for the names of the 34 dead to come to light.

The truth was exposed by the mother of another sailor, whose death was covered up by the state.

The grieving parent put up a post in memory of her son, Vsevolod Kurbatov.

A loving tribute read: “I’m proud of you, son. It’s an honour to be your mum.�?lt;/p>

Vsevolod was killed in the attack the day after his 23rd birthday.

The real number of those lost has undermined the leader’s usual stoicism in the face of foreign aggression.

On Boxing Day 2023, Ukraine launched a missile strike on Russia, using British-supplied missiles.

At first, only two memorial plaques were made naming the fallen sailors, whilst their massive 369ft Novocherkassk landing ship also destroyed in the strike.

Pictures show the warship exploding in the strike.

It was taken down by a £2.5million Ukrainian Storm Shadow missile.

This British contribution is a part of the continued effort to supply Ukraine in its battle with Russia..

In September, Foreign Secretary David Lammy insisted that the UK will not be “bullied” out of supplying Ukraine.

It is understood that the obliterated Russian warship was loaded with war supplies at the time of its destruction.

Two of those killed were Alexander Kolotvinov, 24, and Kirill Korf, 20.

Among the dead were Vlad Yaremenko, 19, the youngest lost sailor, and Dmitry Bryakin, 23.

UKRAINIAN BRIDGE PLOT

In April, The Sun reported that Ukrainian officials planned to blow up a vital bridge by mid-July.

The Kerch Bridge has long been a symbol of Russia‘s occupation, and destroying it would be a vital win in the conflict.

The target was Russia‘s only land bridge to Crimea, which Putin hailed as a “miracle” upon its completion.

A 12 mile structure, getting rid of it would cut off a major Russian supply route and help win back the battle in the Black Sea.

Bryan Clark, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and director of the Centre for Defence Concepts and Technology, believes it is entirely possible Ukraine could do it – but it needs the right weapons.

The “most actively defended bridge in the world” could be brought down with a “multi-pronged” big bang-style air and sea attack, he told The Sun.

Clark, an expert in naval operations and electronic warfare, predicted Storm Shadow missiles would be used to pummel its structure, while unmanned explosive boats detonate at its base.

The bridge has long been one of Ukraine‘s highest military targets.

In October 2022, a truck bomb blasted a gaping hole in the bridge’s centre, setting fire to the railway and sinking parts of the road into the water.

In September 2024, Al Jazeera reported on the continued desire to decimate Kerch, suggesting Ukraine missed their July target.

VLADIMIR Putin will demand Ukraine’s “full capitulation” in any peace deal brokered by Donald Trump, experts said today.

Trump will take over as US president in January having promised to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking charge.

APExperts say Putin is already dictating hardline terms for a deal[/caption]

AFPVladimir Putin said he’s ready to talk to Trump about the conflict[/caption]

But analysts from the Institute for the Study of War say bullish Putin is already dictating hardline terms for a deal as his forces continue to gain ground.

The group said: “The manner in which the Kremlin is trying to set its terms for negotiations strongly signals that Russia‘s objectives remain unchanged and still amount to full Ukrainian capitulation.

“The Kremlin does not appear any more willing to make concessions to the incoming Trump administration than it was to the current administration.”

Embattled Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky – who has vowed not to hand over an inch to tyrant Putin – looks likely to give ground in return for security guarantees.

And he could be ousted in a humiliating blow to the West if his original pledge to his people is broken in a deal which ends the bloody 32-month conflict.

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned ominously that no peace talks will be held until the West stops giving Ukraine weapons.

And Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov also claimed that the start of Trump’s presidency would change little – and shunned suggestions that current frontlines could be frozen.

Peace terms speculated so far include a freeze on the frontlines and a deal to end the war if Ukraine agrees never to join the NATO western alliance.

The war think tank’s analysts concluded: “Lavrov’s pre-emptive rejection of the potential suggestion to freeze the current frontline indicates that Russia is not interested in softening its approach.

“Zakharova’s and Lavrov’s statements also undermine Putin’s recent efforts to feign interest in a willingness to ‘restore’ US–Russian relations with the new US president.

“Putin likely is taking for granted that the Trump administration will defer to the Kremlin’s interests and preferences without the Kremlin offering any concessions in return.”

Ukraine’s defences have crumbled amid fierce tank battles in recent days as Russia claims to have grabbed more eastern territory.

Roman Kostenko, the chairman of the Ukraine’s Defence and Intelligence Committee, conceded yesterday: “Talks should be based on guarantees – for Ukraine, nothing is more important.”

Analysts also fear any deal seen as a victory for Russia will signal Western weakness and open the door to a Chinese move to take back Taiwan in a move which could trigger World war III.

DON’T panic if you’ve lost your Amazon Fire TV Stick remote.

There’s a simple way to find track it down in seconds without having to turn your whole house upside down.

You can find your lost TV remote using an Amazon trick if it’s within 30 feet of the streaming device

It turns out that some Fire TV remote controls have a built-in ringer.

And you can trigger this to beep when you’ve lost your remote, allowing you to find it instantly.

It’s a far better solution than pulling out all of your sofa cushions and crawling on the floor to look under cabinets.

There are two ways to activate the feature, and both are very easy.

But the first thing to note is that not all Fire TV remotes offer this feature.

For it to work, you’ll specifically need an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote Pro.

If you’ve got a different type of Alexa remote, it won’t work.

HOW TO USE AMAZON REMOTE FINDER

First, note that it won’t work if your Alexa Voice Remote Pro isn’t already paired with a Fire TV.

And you’ll also need it registered to the same account as your Alexa account.

On top of that, your remote needs to be within 30 feet of the paired Fire TV.

If it’s too far away, it won’t work.

Also, if the battery on the remote is dead, it won’t work either.

Now you have two options.

One is to say “Find my remote” to any Amazon device that you have with Alexa support.

You can ask Alexa to find your Fire TV remote for you

That could also be the Alexa app on a smartphone, or in the Fire TV app.

Another option is to press the Remote Finder icon inside the Fire TV app’s Remote tab.

Either of these options should trigger the Alexa Voice Remote Pro to ring for up to five minutes.

Be mindful that Amazon says it can take up to 30 seconds for the ringing to begin.

Once you’ve found the TV remote, just press any button to stop it from ringing.

If you can’t get the feature to work, make sure that your Fire Stick is connected to a power outlet and not the TV’s USB port.

That means the feature can work even if the TV itself is off.

For it to work on a smart TV that’s switched off, you’ll need to have already turned on Voice Commands When TV Screen is Off.

WHAT IS THE ALEX VOICE REMOTE PRO?

Here are the official specs from Amazon...

“Alexa, find my remote.�?lt;/li>
Backlit for your convenience
Two customizable buttons
Dedicated headphone button
Integrated TV controls
Press and ask Alexa
Compatible with most Fire TV streaming media players, Amazon Fire TV smart TVs, and smart TVs with Fire TV built-in

SKY FANS CAN DO IT TOO!

Amazon isn’t the only TV maker helping you to find lost remotes.

British telly giant Sky also has a similar feature available on its Sky Q boxes.

It turns out that the Q logo on the front of the box is actually a button.

And if you press it, it’ll cause your TV remote to start beeping.

SkyYour Sky Q box’s central logo is actually a button that can help you to find a lost remote[/caption]

It’s a great way to find your lost Sky TV remote �?giving you a 30-second window to track down the beep.

But be warned: it only works with main Sky Q boxes and not Sky Q Mini boxes.

The remote also needs to be paired with the Sky box and in range of it.

As well as that, it needs to have battery �?a dead remote won’t beep.

LEWIS HAMILTON will reportedly move into a house formerly owned by Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari next year.

The seven-time world champion is set to join Ferrari ahead of the 2025 Formula One season, putting an end to his 11-year spell with Mercedes.

And when he swaps Brackley for Maranello, he will be granted the permission to move into a famed Italian house.

Sky Sports Italy claim he is expected to move into a house previously occupied by Mr Ferrari himself.

The home is located next to the team’s Fiorano circuit.

F1 legend Michael Schumacher is the only other driver to have been given the privilege to live there.

He would reside at the house on testing days.

The three-storey building houses Enzo’s iconic office, which has been preserved since his death in 1988.

Every door and window shutter on the outside is painted in the iconic Scuderia red.

And the interior is littered with Ferrari memorabilia.

Mercedes have announced initial plans for Hamilton‘s final race with the team, which will be at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix next month.

The Brit will have the names of 150 fans printed on his car for the event.

Mercedes opened a competition this week to determine the lucky supporters.

Inside track on Hamilton's life

LEWIS HAMILTON has driven his way into pole position as Formula One's most prolific winner.

The British speedster lives life in the fast lane both on and off the track, with a string of high-profile romances and jet-set lifestyle.

Hamilton made his name at McLaren and Mercedes but stunned the racing world by signing a £100million deal to join Ferrari for next season.

His exploits have seen him rub shoulders with Hollywood icon Brad Pitt but Lew snubbed the chance to feature in Top Gun 2.

And fans can follow his fortunes on the latest season of Netflix’s smash hit Drive To Survive.

Hamilton’s talent saw him go from humble origins in Stevenage to boasting an £11m car collection.

He joined celeb dating app Raya after splitting from Brazilian beauty Juliana Nalu.

And his exes are said to include Rita Ora, Rihanna and Nicole Scherzinger.

Hamilton was embroiled in a bitter feud with Nico Rosberg but the pair buried the hatchet to sport £35k watches they were given for FREE.

He also shared high-profile battles with Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel.

But his most shocking showdown saw Max Verstappen handed the World Championship over him by a controversial safety car decision.

The Brit is chasing a record eighth world title – the first of which came in 2008 and has seen Felipe Masa sue F1 for £62m after a crash saw him miss out.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday takes place on 29 November this year, which is �?you guessed it �?a Friday.

The sale event traditionally falls the day after Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday of November in the US), which Americans will be celebrating with a turkey and all the trimmings (perhaps cooked in a Ninja Foodi).

While Black Friday was originally a US phenomenon, it has expanded across the world and has become the biggest sale event of the year in many countries.

For more information on its history and how it got its name, read our Black Friday explainer.

Will Ninja be taking part in Black Friday this year?

Nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, but Black Friday is normally a great opportunity to grab Ninja products at bargain prices �?either from Ninja itself or from another online retailer.

We fully expect to see a raft of great deals on Ninja products during Black Friday weekend. Check back regularly as we will be updating this page with the best discounts as they become available.

Ninja also has a special offers page on its website listing the best deals currently available, which is also worth a look if you’re in the market for buying now and don’t want to wait until the end of November.

What to expect from Ninja’s Black Friday sale 2024?

While Ninja has yet to announce details of its Black Friday sale this year, we expect to see big price cuts.

Last year, Ninja slashed up to 25% off its kitchen appliances and other stockists, such as Amazon, John Lewis and Argos, offered Ninja air fryers with 47% off.

We think discounts will also be impressive this year. Check out our pick of the best Black Friday deals and remember to compare prices at various retailers before taking the plunge, to ensure you really are getting the cheapest possible deal.

The Ninja website should be the first port of call for shoppers looking to pick up Foodi products during the Black Friday sale.

But there are plenty of other high-street and online retailers that also stock Ninja appliances.

Check out our list to browse during the sale below.

Ninja Air Fryer Max Review

Harriet Flook road-tested thepopular Ninja kitchen gadget and this is her honest verdict...

Pros:

Large capacity, perfect for families
Six cooking functions including roast and bake
Easy to use
Uses up to 75% less fat

Cons:

Large in size so you’ll need the counter space for it
No designated warm-up button (you’ll have to remember to press the function)
Extra functions are great but might not get used as often

Rating: 3.5/5

The Ninja Air Max promises to give you crispy results with just a splash of oil, thanks to clever air frying technology.

Long gone are at-home fryers of the past, dunking potatoes in gallons of oil or bubbling fat in a saucepan for tasty (but uber-unhealthy) triple-cooked chips.

I’ve been keen to give an air fryer a whirl, so I decided to give the Ninja Air Fryer Max a go to see if I can create a yummy fakeaway at home.

With an extra 5.2L capacity, the Ninja Air Fryer Max is perfect for feeding the whole family and claims to use up to 75 per cent less fat than traditional frying methods, while being up to 50 per cent faster than fan ovens.

It also boasts six cooking functions �?Air Fry, Max Crisp, Bake, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate �?so any home cook will be spoilt for choice.

Read the full review here.
Words by Harriet Flook.

When does the Ninja Black Friday sale end?

Ninja’s Black Friday sale hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s worth bookmarking the Black Friday weekend, which takes place from November 29 (Black Friday) to December 2 (Cyber Monday).

The last day to shop the sale is usually the Monday, otherwise known as Cyber Monday.

However, some retailers extend their last sale date, so you’ll need to double-check as it’ll depend on the site.

After that, items are expected to revert back to their normal prices -though some retailer do continue their discounts in the lead up to Christmas not all do.

This means the Black Friday sale event is the best time to start your festive shopping and bag a bargain before the big day.

When is Cyber Monday 2024 and is Ninja taking part?

Cyber Monday will take place on December 2 this year.

It falls on the Monday immediately following Black Friday and often sees the best deals of the sales period.

However, shoppers who hold out until Cyber Monday also run the risk of the products they want running out of stock.

Ninja will almost certainly be taking part in Cyber Monday as it has done so in previous years.

Remember to shop around and research best prices before buying – and of course check back here for updates, and the best deals and sales as they happen.

THE FASTEST growing area for producing small business is Newham in east London, a new report reveals.

The area saw a massive 175 per cent increase in the number of new firms established since 2010 from 4,840 to 13,290, research shows.

PABoss of London City Airport ants to “unlock” even more opportunities in the area[/caption]

Seven out of ten local authorities which have seen the fastest growth in this area are in the capital – the other spots occupied by Salford, Luton and Manchester.

The study shows that east London has a rapidly expanding number of workers with 325,000 moving in with more than a third being 25-49 years-old.

The research was carried out by the East London Growth Group with the report demanding more focus on housing affordability and transport connectivity to bring in more up-and-coming business leaders.

Howard Dawber, Deputy Mayor of London for Business and Growth said the report showcases the area’s “entrepreneurial spirit�?

Sir Stephen Timms, MP for East Ham, said: “I am delighted that Newham has been identified in this research as the most entrepreneurial place in the country.

“People who live in the borough �?many with their roots in other parts of the world �?respond to the challenges they face with energy, imagination and determination.

“This research finding provides good grounds for optimism about the future.�?lt;/p>

Alison FitzGerald, CEO of London City Airport, said: “This insightful report shows that East London is one of the best places in the UK to start and grow a business.

“The priority now is to work as a group to identify clear solutions for how we can capitalise on this momentum and unlock more opportunities for East London.�?lt;/p>

There’s an overwhelming choice of Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette available, from fresh and floral to warm and woody, in a range of sizes and to suit a range of budgets too.

Brands offer individual scents, miniature perfumes, as well as gift sets, so there is something to suit everyone’s needs, budgets and recipients too.

Glossier’s You is an iconic scent many know and love. Plus, it is the fragrance in the stores, which is why it is the signature scent from the brand.

Glossier has recently expanded the fragrance collection to include You Doux and You Reve, but the original is still my favourite fragrance.

Glossier You has been described online as a “skin-scent enhancer”, which means it can be layered with any scent to last longer and deeper the fragrance it has been paired with.

Though I manly wear it on its own because it is longlasting, and not too overpowering either.

It boasts notes of warm pink pepper and iris, which adds body but isn’t too warm, heady or too sweet.

BUY FROM JOHN LEWIS

We have recommended fragrance enhancers, but what about pH fragrance and genderless scents? The iconic Escentirc Molecules 01 is all of theabove, and a fragrance I always get complimented on.

The scent is not too heady or overbearing, but fresh, and longlasting, whether you wear for day or night.

This scent can be layered with other fragrances too.

The charm of it is the molecules work with each wearer’s pH levels to create a bespoke scent for each wearer, which is thanks to the Iso E Super sticks that “magnify the wearer’s natural aroma.”

It is available in 30ml and 100ml, though the price varies depending on the size.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist , £24

BUY FROM LOOKFANTASTIC

Sol de Janeiro is one of the best fragrance gifts for teens because it is a perfume mist, easy to use, and longlasting. Plus, it’s much more affordable than most.

This scent blends notes of sweet salted caramel and more universal sandalwood, which is more of a subtle sweet scent rather than fruity floral sweetness.

Plus, it has been included in the Love Island villa year after year, which is unsurprising as it smells like holiday in a bottle.

Not only is this a more affordable fragrance, but a little goes a long way too.

Coffee and vanilla (sounds like our kind of treat, to be honest) mix together seamlessly to create a super-sexy perfume that’s perfect for a night out. Plus, one spritz will last a whole night on the dance floor.

Citrus notes from mandarin and orange blossom sashay with jasmine to create a fresh, almost creamy musk.

We love the shimmering, smouldering, seductive packaging, too – it’s strong and sassy.

Artiscent Atelier Vetiver Arome Eau de Parfum

SuperdrugArtiscent Atelier Vetiver Arome Eau de Parfum is an affordable alternative for shoppers to seek out[/caption]

Artiscent Atelier Vetiver Arome Eau de Parfum 50ml, £10

BUY FROM SUPERDRUG

We tested Artiscent Atelier Vetiver Arome Eau de Parfum, which smells like Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum, but is a whopping £69 cheaper than the designer fragrance.

Superdrug’s male fragrance dupes have been created as budget homages to more expensive scents and the price difference, with an aroma similar to popular Chanel Bleu, certainly can’t be sniffed at.

The smell of woody aromatics is good but Superdrug’s dupe is less subtle and more abrasive on the nose.

We’d recommend reapplying it throughout the day and night as it’s not as long-lasting, but it’s an enjoyable fragrance that shoppers like.

One Superdrug shopper added: ‘Very nice lovely cologne for the price. Does not last long but can’t complain for the price.’

No.85 Eau de Toilette 30ml, £16

BUY FROM NEXT

We tested Next No.85 Eau de Toilette, which smells like Paco Rabanne 1 Million Eau de Toilette and is £71 cheaper than the designer fragrance.

Next’s cost-cutting bottle might not be as dazzling but the spicy neroli niff is excellent quality and definitely ‘in the style of�?Paco Rabanne’s blingy best-seller.

Perhaps not as impressive a spritz to unwrap on Christmas Day but if you fancy an everyday alter-native dupe to save some cash this would be a brilliant cologne switch.

Next shoppers love its ‘great smell’ and say that it’s ideal for ‘everyday’.

This captivating fragrance is a deeper, more intense and long-lasting version of the original Daisy perfume though, meaning you can wear it with pride all day and night long.

At first, it’s fresh fruits and berries (think strawberry and pear) then it transforms into a honeyed, floral and vanilla-scented hue which is super indulgent – ending on a grassy, green freshness. It’s certainly a journey.

There are plenty of beauty retailers, both online and in store, to shop the best perfume gift sets.

What we love about gift sets is they are much better value for money.

Perfume gift sets usually include the fragrance, either in eau de parfum or eau de toilette, as well as a miniature version, or a body wash or body lotion – depending on the set.

In some instances the set may also include a toiletry bag to keep your valuables in, make-up products or skincare, though some may even include a rucksack or larger bag, which is even better as you can double it up as a gym bag in some cases.

Where to buy perfume for women in the UK?

Perfume for women is widely available in high-street stores, specialist retailers and online. Many department and chain stores sell popular designer brands, such as Chanel, YSL, Gucci and Dior, as well as lesser-known names and own-label fragrances.

Online, the choice is huge �?from specialists such as The Perfume Shop, Fragrance Direct and The Fragrance Shop to beauty giants including Look Fantastic and Sephora.

Don’t forget supermarkets too, they often stock popular perfumes, as well as dupes of big names. We found the fragrances for our round-up at:

How much do perfumes in the UK cost?

Designer fragrances can cost hundreds of pounds. Obviously the larger the bottle the more expensive the product, but generally a 30ml size perfume will cost around £50, maybe a little more or even a little less.

You may find own-label scents by well-known stores such as M&S or Next at a much cheaper price and they can smell eerily like their expensive counterparts. Supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl also sell perfume seasonally, these cost just a few pounds and are often considered dupes for designer brands.

Finally, don’t forget beauty specialists such The Body Shop, which both sell their unique fragrances which are incredibly popular.

How long does perfume last?

It’s pretty devastating when you spend your hard-earned cash on a new fragrance and, upon first spritz, realise that it wears off in a matter of hours.

If staying power is the most important aspect of perfume for you, stick to an eau de parfum rather than an eau de toilette.

Eau de parfums are more oily, so tend to stick around and linger longer on the skin.

In terms of how long you can keep a perfume, you can expect a quality perfume to keep its scent for three to five years – but you may have used it all up before then if you love it!

Can you take perfume on a plane?

Yes, but it needs to be under 100ml and in a clear plastic bag like other liquids in your hand luggage.

What’s the difference between perfume and eau de toilette?

The distinction lies in the concentration of perfume oil. There’s 8% �?12% perfume oil in eau de toilette and more like 12% �?18% in eau de parfum.

So generally, you may not need to wear as much perfume because it’s not as diluted.

Why is perfume so expensive?

There are different factors, which include the packaging, marketing and distribution, but primarily it is the ingredients that make perfume expensive.

Many perfumes use rare ingredients such as flowers or an essence that isn’t widely available.

HOT brushes and thermal brushes have been flying off the virtual shelves this year after becoming a TikTok sensation.

With the Amika blowout babe thermal brush taking social media by storm and the Dyson Airwrap continuing to be a cult classic, it’s no surprise shoppers are on the hunt for the cheapest alternative.

Lucy Powell

Babyliss Air Style 1000, ~~£75~~ £35 at Boots

BUY HERE

But finding the right tool can be hard when there are thousands on the market.

Not all of them are a one-size-fits-all for every hair type and some just aren’t up to scratch when it comes to quality.

I tried out the Babyliss Airstyle 1000, which has been slashed in price to just £35 from £75 at multiple retailers including Boots, Currys, Amazon and John Lewis.

With over 2,000 five-star reviews, the styling versatility of the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler and the thermal technology of the Amika, will it live up to my expectations?

BaByliss Air Style 1000 review

BaByliss Air Style 1000, £35 (was £70)

BUY HERE

Pros

Styling versatility �?four heads in one tool
Ionic technology aids shine and smoothing
More than one heat setting
Comes with a heat-protecting glove
Suitable for all hair types; long, short, thick, thin, damaged
Longevity; hair stays voluminous and shiny all day

Cons

Feels lightweight
The hair dryer attachment is quite weak
Noisy

The stand-out feature of the Air Style 1000 is its styling versatility, with four interchangeable attachments available.

These include a hair dryer, dry paddle brush, thermal barrel brush and conical curling attachment.

I have bleached (damaged) hair so I like to have the option of heat settings, which is what this tool offers.

The hair dryer attachment is the weakest function in terms of power, but after I changed the head to the paddle brush it felt hotter and stronger.

Lucy Powell

BaByliss Air Style 1000, £35 (was £70)

BUY HERE

Going from the root downwards, I used the paddle brush interchangeably with the thermal barrel brush to create volume while smoothing down the hair.

It is very effective in smoothing out frizz, with frizz-controlling ions enhancing shine and hiding breakage from colour or heat damage.

The thermal brush requires manual rotation, so the additional heat-proof glove came in extremely handy.

The conical curling attachment is where the Dyson dupe element of the tool comes in.

After acquiring volume from the thermal brush and hot paddle brush, going in with the canonical attachment effortlessly creates curls built on a bouncy base.

Lucy Powell

Again, it is lightweight but heats up extremely fast, and the heat-proof glove makes the perfect additional touch as, unlike the Dyson, you do have to manually wrap the hair around the tool.

Overall, despite the hairdryer feeling weak, the other three tools are extremely effective.

My hair stayed shiny throughout the day and the versatility means there are endless styles to try – all for £35!

ARSENAL are unlikely to be busy in the January transfer window �?despite their injury woes so far this season.

Ben White could be out for around six weeks after undergoing a minor procedure on a troublesome knee that has hampered his playing time this term.

ReutersMikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been hit by a flurry of early-season injuries[/caption]

GettyBen White is facing a fitness battle over the next few weeks[/caption]

GettyMartin Odegaard’s return against Chelsea was a huge positive for the Gunners[/caption]

Depending on his recovery, the right-back’s return may be sooner than hoped.

But he remains in a battle to feature over the crucial festive period.

Gunners defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu are also fighting to be back fully fit before December with knee injuries.

Italian international Calafiori is targeting a comeback in the next few weeks.

While Japanese full-back Tomiyasu’s timeline remains up in the air after suffering several set-backs following his pre-season knock.

SunSport understands Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal board are currently not targeting recruitments this winter to cope with any further potential absences.

Managing Director Richard Garlick made a routine trip to the United States this week to meet with owner Stan Kroenke and co-chair Josh Kroenke.

The meeting was to plan for next summer’s window �?and was held without Sporting Director Edu after his resignation last week.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

Yet the club’s policy remains that January is a reactive window instead of an active one.

Arsenal’s last big splurge in a January window came in the 2022/23 campaign.

They splashed the cash two years ago on Brighton’s Leandro Trossard, Chelsea’s Jorginho and Spezia’s Jakub Kiwior for around £40m.

Arteta’s injury worries have softened over the past few weeks with skipper Martin Odegaard returning to action.

Mikel Merino [shoulder], Jurrien Timber [knee] and Gabriel [knee] have also proved their fitness.

Arsenal and Edu resignation statement in full

Edu Gaspar has today resigned from his position as our Sporting Director.

Edu, our former player and Invincible, re-joined us in the role of Technical Director in July 2019. He progressed through the club and was promoted to Sporting Director in November 2022, where he oversaw men’s, women’s and academy football.

We thank Edu for the part he has played in our renewed football strategy and driving the club forward with the values of Arsenal in his heart.

Edu said: “This was an incredibly hard decision to make.

“Arsenal has given me the opportunity to work with so many amazing people and the chance to be a part of something so special in the club’s history. It has been a special journey and I thank Stan, Josh, Tim and Lord Harris for the support they’ve given me.

“I’ve loved working with so many great colleagues across our men’s, women’s and academy teams, especially Mikel, who has become a great friend.

“Now it is time to pursue a different challenge. Arsenal will always remain in my heart. I wish the club and its supporters only good things and all the very best.�?lt;/p>

Our Co-Chair, Josh Kroenke, added: “We respect Edu’s decision and thank him for his immense contribution and dedication to drive the club forward.

“Everyone at the club wishes him well. We are all so fond of him and the positive energy he brings to everything and everyone.

“Change and evolution is a part of our club. We remain focused on our strategy and winning major trophies. Our succession plan will reflect this continued ambition.�?lt;/p>

Arsenal made several moves in the summer, including a permanent £27m deal for keeper David Raya after his season-long loan spell from Brentford.

They also signed Calafiori for £42m and spent £32.6m to bring in Merino from Real Sociedad.

Arsenal ratings v Chelsea

Here's how SunSport's Tony Robertson rated the Gunners:

David Raya – 7

Tipped a shot over the bar early on from Cole Palmer and claimed crosses well. Could do nothing about Neto’s crisp strike.

Ben White – 5

Poor when trying to stop a Neto cross that Malo Gusto should have then scored. Booked for a foul on the winger later on.

William Saliba – 6

Steady alongside Gabriel but was more in the covering role so had less to do. Struggled with his line-breaking passes today on the whole. Failed to engage Neto as he raced towards the area before narrowing a shot into the corner.

Gabriel Magalhaes – 6

Made some vital blocks when the midfield was bypassed and was generally the busier of himself and Saliba.

Jurrien Timber – 6

Busy day for the defender in trying to keep Madueke quiet, a task he largely succeeded in. But he wasn’t able to heavily influence the game going forward since the ball never really got to him. Most entertaining part of the game before the goal probably came with the 57th-minute throw-in that slipped out of his hands and over his head.

Thomas Partey – 6

Struggled to contain Cole Palmer early on but grew into the game and got on the ball plenty, although he was somewhat wayward with his long-range passing. After a bad touch he managed to poke the ball back to Odegaard before he provided the assist.

Declan Rice – 6

Made some vital defensive contributions to block some Chelsea chances and displayed quick thinking at a free-kick to put Havertz through to score, but was marginally offside. Subbed off after 71 minutes.

Martin Odegaard – 7

Back in the starting XI for the first time since August. Has been a big miss for Arteta’s side but may take some time to get back to his best and was on the ball nowhere near enough at the Bridge. Won the ball back before providing the assist for Martinelli’s opener.

Bukayo Saka – 5

Showed superb defensive work rate to keep Marc Cucurella in check, though this inversely meant he was unable to contribute as much in attack. Subbed off after pulling up injured in the 79th minute.

Gabriel Martinelli – 8

Should have done better when given the chance to score past Sanchez in the penalty area after Saka won the ball back high. Kept at it and scored against the run of play in the second half with a nice finish to Sanchez’s near post. Hooked after 71 minutes.

Kai Havertz – 6

Appeared to have poked home the opening goal with a sharp bit of movement but was fractionally offside. Booked for not going off the pitch when bleeding on his head.

Deadline Day loan moves for back-up keeper Neto and Raheem Sterling helped provide competition among the squad.

There were also big sales of academy stars Emile Smith Rowe to Fulham and Eddie Nketiah to Crystal Palace, as well as keeper Aaron Ramsdale’s switch to Southampton.

AN ABANDONED UK airport is set to reopen for its first event in over a decade in a “last hurrah” before its total overhaul.

The closed airport confirmed plans to host its first international airshow in over a decade next summer.

WikipediaThe Manston International Airshow on August 16 and 17[/caption]

Times Media LtdTony Freudmann, director at RiverOak announced plans to invest £800million into the site[/caption]

A two-day event will be held at Manston Airport as a “last hurrah” for the old runway before it is transformed into an international hub.

Thanet Airfield, which closed in 2014, was cleared to reopen after successfully overcoming a legal challenge earlier this year.

RiverOak Strategic Partners, the company that owns the airfield, announced plans to invest £800million into the site.

Bosses added that the injection of funds will help restore the airport as a commercially successful travel hub for passengers.

However, the extensive renovations needed to transform the site are not expected to begin until early 2026, with completion projected by early 2028.

Tony Freudmann, director at RiverOak, said the airshow, the first at the site since 2013, is a great opportunity for people to see the airport for the last time before it is transformed.

He told Kent Online: “The air show will be the last hurrah for the old airport as it is now, that is how we see it anyway.”

The details of the upcoming Manston International Airshow have yet to be revealed, but aviation enthusiasts will be excited to know that the Belgium-based Bronco Demo Team OV-10B will be featured in the lineup.

The skilled group of pilots are renowned for their performances with the North American OV-10 Bronco – a 1960s aircraft designed for counter-insurgency combat.

Mr Freudmann added: “This will be the first big air show at the airport since 2013.

“People should expect lots and lots of activities and aircraft flying in and out.”

In a post shared online, the external organisers of the show added: “We are thrilled to be able to start sharing with you what will be a spectacular event for Kent a show that we have been working on as a team since August.

“Our sincere thanks must be extended to RiverOak Strategic Partners and Visit Thanet for their support in us being able to launch such an incredibly high-profile show in the Garden of England.�?lt;/p>

The Manston International Airshow will take place at Thanet Airfield on August 16 and 17.

It comes after a discontinued UK airport that once offered budget flights to Spain and Cyprus has revealed plans to re-open after a two-year closure.

Doncaster Sheffield Airport shut in 2022 after Wizz Air confirmed it would terminate the majority of its flights from the airport.

The airport, also known as the Robin Hood Airport, is located in Finningley near Doncaster and previously served millions of travellers heading to holiday destinations.

It opened to passengers in 2005 and was one of only two commercial international airports in Yorkshire.

The airport’s reopening is expected to delight nearby residents, who will be eager to once again use the popular travel hub.

Mayor Ros Jones stated that she intends to keep “councillors, residents, and businesses updated” as plans progress to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

She added: “The procurement of an operator is in its final stages of due diligence, we have regular meetings with investors, businesses and airlines.

“We have submitted a Statement of Need to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in relation to re-establishing our airspace, this will soon be publicly available via the CAA website, I cannot emphasise enough the importance of retaining our airspace, our MPs continue to engage with the Aviation Minister in relation to this.”

AN airport meltdown that left thousands of travellers stranded was caused by an engineer working from home whose password failed, an inquiry has found.

Some 700,000 passengers were caught up in chaos during August bank holiday last year when a flight-plan glitch caused the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) computer system to collapse.

Bav MediaPassengers stranded at Stansted Airport last summer[/caption]

Planes were unable to take off and land – causing nightmare delays lasting days.

It also cost airlines £100million in compensation pay-outs.

A Civil Aviation Authority inquiry into the incident today found that IT support engineers were allowed to work from home on one of the busiest days of the year.

The disastrous glitch then struck and was made worse by workers being remote.

The engineer assigned to fix the problem struggled to login remotely because the system had crashed and would not accept his password, it was found.

Engineers then spent an hour-and-a-half making their way to the office where they performed a “full system re-start” – which still didn’t solve the problem.

Four hours after the incident was first flagged, someone phoned the system’s German manufacturer, Frequentis Comsoft, who was able to identify the issue.

As a result, the Civil Aviation Authority today called for senior engineers to be on duty in the NATS offices all times in the hope the problem will not be repeated.

Inquiry chairman Jeff Halliwell said the incident on August 28 represented “a major failure” on the part of the air traffic control system.

He said: “Our report sets out a number of recommendations aimed at improving NATS’ operations and, even more importantly, ways in which the aviation sector as a whole should work together more closely to ensure that, if something like this does ever happen again, passengers are better looked after.

“It caused considerable distress to over 700,000 passengers and resulted in substantial costs to airlines and airports.”

Rob Bishton, chief executive of the Civil Aviation Authority, added: “It is vital that we learn the lessons from any major incident such as this.”

The inquiry found that an automatic flight planning system and its back-up shut down within 20 seconds after a plan for a flight from Los Angeles to Paris (Orly) was received.

This was because of a “unique set of circumstances not previously encountered”, including a pair of duplicate three-letter waypoints, which are used to identify locations.

The system had previously processed more than 15 million flight plans without this scenario being seen.

The failure led to flight plans being manually processed, decreasing the rate from up to 800 per hour to 60 per hour.

A Nats spokesman said: “We would like to apologise again for the inconvenience passengers suffered because of this very unusual technical incident.

“Over the 15 months since this incident, we have worked hard to address the lessons from it, and to ensure it cannot ever happen again.

“Our own internal investigation made 48 recommendations, most of which we have already implemented; these include improving our engagement with our airline and airport customers, our wider contingency and crisis response, and our engineering support processes.

“We fixed the specific issue that caused the problem last year as our first priority and it cannot reoccur.

“We will study the independent review report very carefully for any recommendations we have not already addressed and will support their industry-wide recommendations.”

Desk-shy airport staff working from home were behind flight meltdown in 2023

LAST year, more WFH staff were to blame for a different flight meltdown that affected nearly 750,000 passengers.

Shoddy planning was also to blame for the travel mayhem, according to a review commissioned by the aviation watchdog.

The outage affected nearly 750,000 passengers, including 300,000 people hit by cancellations, 95,000 by long delays of more than three hours, and a further 300,000 by shorter delays.

Downing Street said the scale of disruption was a “completely unacceptable situation” and that the interim report was “concerning”.

The inquiry by the Civil Aviation Authority found fixing the problem was “more protracted than it might otherwise have been�?because senior engineers were not in the office over the Bank Holiday.

This is because on public holidays �?when maintenance is not routinely scheduled – it was “common practice for staff to be available on standby at remote locations �?typically at home�?

But this meant it took one engineer 90 minutes to arrive on site to perform the restart which was not permitted remotely.
The assistance of a more senior engineer was also not sought “for more than three hours after the initial failure�? according to the report.

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary slammed the National Air Traffic Services engineers for “sitting at home in their pyjamas” on one of the “busiest travel weekends of the year for air travel”.

He added: “In any properly managed ATC service, engineers would be onsite to cover system breakdowns instead of sitting at home unable to log into the system.

“Overpaid Nats chief executive Martin Rolfe’s position in untenable.”

IF you’re a big fan of Sunday roasts, a new study has ranked the best in the UK – with the winning place going to a pub in Birmingham.

The study factored in everything from cost to tastiness, and it covers everywhere from London to Swansea.

instagram/@oldcrownbhamThe Old Crown in Birmingham has the best roast dinner in the country, according to research by rail operator London Northwestern Railway[/caption]

Rail operator London Northwestern Railway has pulled together a Roast Dinner Index, naming the UK’s best.

The research analysed factors such as price, value, popularity, and proximity to train stations to rank the top 10 Sunday roasts in the country.

“Our Roast Dinner Index not only highlights the best places to indulge without straining your wallet but also emphasises the convenience of accessing these fantastic dining options easily.

“We hope this research inspires people to explore new culinary experiences while enjoying the comfort and value that these top-rated pubs offer.”

As a proud Brummie, I’ve been to the boozer and love its old-school charm with stained-glass windows and rustic desks.

Just be sure to bag a table early if you plan to spend your Saturday evening knocking back a pint because it can get very busy.

THE View will consider a reunion with President-elect Donald Trump and beg him to come on the show, according to reports.

The top-ranked daytime talk show is working behind the scenes to shift gears as it prepares for an incoming Trump administration on January 20, 2025, which includes inviting more supporters of the president-elect to the table, along with Trump himself.

The View will beg President-elect Donald Trump to appear on the show when he takes office, according to reports

Trump, who had been a frequent guest on The View prior to ascending to the presidency, appeared on the show 17 times before he ran for president in 2015.

He also appeared one last time during the campaign.

Trump has not appeared on the program since he won in 2016, and The View has since taken a staunchly anti-Trump narrative.

Now, with an impending second Trump term, ABC News is considering changing course on its popular daytime talk show, which has received backlash from conservatives for its “radical liberal” approach.

During the 2024 election cycle, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on the show and was praised by all six panelists who supported her campaign, including Republicans Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.

But, after Trump’s dominating and commanding election victory, The View will now look to reunite with the president-elect by inviting him on the show as soon as his communications team is in place, a source with knowledge of the show’s decisions told The Daily Beast.

“They do need to message to the American people,” the source told the outlet.

“We have a huge audience, the biggest in daytime television, and we have a politically engaged audience that’s not reached by cable news.

“We’ll have pro-Trump voices on as guests throughout the administration.”

The source disclosed to The Daily Beast that the invitation will be extended to Trump cabinet members and his running mate, Vice President-elect JD Vance.

The New York Post also reported that ABC News brass are in “panic mode” and are hunting for a conservative voice to join the table as a panelist.

ABC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Everyone on The View endorsed Kamala Harris. They lost. They are out of touch with America,” the source told The New York Post.

“For a show about different perspectives, The View doesn’t seem to have any when it comes to Trump.

“ABC bosses don’t want to alienate the pro-Trump demographic.”

CLAWS OUT

There’s been no love lost between Trump and The View co-hosts since he first took office in 2016.

Whoopi Goldberg has refused to say Trump’s name on the air since his 2016 victory.

“He’s now the president. I’m still not going to say his name. That’s not going to change,” Goldberg said on the show a day after Election Day.

Sunny Hostin has gone as far as to blame “uneducated white women” for Harris’ election defeat.

“I think [Trump’s victory] had nothing to do with policy, I think this was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country,” Hostin said.

“Black women tried to save this country again last night. What we do not have is white women, who voted about 52% for Donald Trump.

“Uneducated white women is my understanding. You have Latino men, actually, voting for him.”

In a Truth Social post in October, Trump called The View hosts “degenerates.”

Trump also publicly labeled Goldberg “demented” and Hostin “one dumb woman” during a campaign rally.

Donald Trump's Cabinet Picks

In the days following his dominant Election Day victory, President-elect Donald Trump has begun carving out his future administation.

Here’s a list of Trump’s confirmed cabinet picks:

Susie Wiles – White House Chief of Staff
Stephen Miller – Deputy Chief of Staff
Bill McGinley – White House counsel
Tom Homan, ex-ICE acting director – “Border Czar”
Elise Stefanik, Republican New York representative – Ambassador to the United Nations
Lee Zeldin, former New York representative – Environmental Protection Agency administrator
Marco Rubio, Republican Florida senator – Secretary of State
Kristi Noem, Republican South Dakota governor – Homeland Security Secretary
Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor – Ambassador to Israel
John Ratcliffe, former Texas representative – CIA director
Pete Hegseth, US Army veteran – Secretary of Defense
Mike Waltz, Republican Florida representative – National Security Advisor
Steven Witkoff, real estate investor – Middle East envoy
Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy – Department of Government Efficiency
Tim Scott, Republican South Carolina senator – Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee
Tulsi Gabbard, former Hawaii representative – Director of National Intelligence
Matt Gaetz, Republican Florida representative – attorney general

TIGER WOODS’ Olympic champ ex-girlfriend Lindsey Vonn has come out of retirement aged 40.

The American retired in February 2019 but has announced her competitive comeback having had successful knee surgery in April.

APLindsey Vonn has announced that she will be coming out of retirement to rejoin the USA Ski Team[/caption]

ReutersTiger Woods dated ex-girlfriend Lindsey Vonn for two yeas between 2013 and 2015[/caption]

Vonn admitted she was plotting a return to skiing in July.

It has now been revealed she will mark her return to competition, following a five-year absence, at the World Cup opener in Solden, Austria.

The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Organisation announced that Vonn would be actively competing again following several injuries.

She celebrated the news in an Instagram post where she showed off a video of her skiing.

Her beaming caption read: “Well, it’s off to Colorado�? I hope the @usskiteam uniform still fits…�?lt;/p>

Away from the sport, Vonn’s fame has been boosted by posing nude and her much-publicised love life.

In 2013, Vonn became part of a sporting power coupe when she began dating golfer Woods, who she met at a charity event a year earlier.

She was often seen on the PGA Tour cheering her beau, until they broke up in 2015.

The Skier’s most famous romance was with golf legend Woods

Woods later said of split: “Well, with Lindsey, what was hard is we never had time together.

“And I can’t travel because I have the kids—my off weeks, I’m devoted to my kids—and I have to be here.”

Vonn is a three-time Olympic medallist, including gold in downhill skiing at the Winter Games in Vancouver in 2010.

She also took bronze in the Super-G in Canada.

She later claimed another downhill bronze in Pyeongchang in 2018.

In 2011, Vonn received the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year award.

After Woods, Vonn was linked with NFL coach Kenan Smith, and dated NHL star P.K. Subban.

She looked set to marry the ice hockey star, when they got engaged, bought a £5.2million Beverly Hills home together.

However, they announced their surprising split on Instagram in 2020.

Since 2021, Vonn has been dating Diego Osorio, co-founder of tequila company Lobos 1707, which received investment from LeBron James.

STATE pensioners are eligible to claim up to £350 in cash to help cover the cost of energy bills this winter.

The Suffolk Community Foundation has launched the 14th year of its annual Surviving Winter appeal, which is in response to winter fuel payments being slashed.

AlamyA charity that helps vulnerable older people to “survive winter” said its grants and advice were needed more than ever[/caption]

Previously, the winter fuel payment was paid to all pensioners to help with energy bills.

However, in July, the government said it would only be made to those on low incomes who received certain benefits.

Chancellor Rachel Reeve’s decision to means-test the up to £300 cash boost has meant around 10million elderly people can no longer get the support.

Now only those receiving pension credit will receive the handout.

The Suffolk charity said it’s campaign has become even more relevant this year because ninety per cent of pensioners are estimated to lose the winter fuel payment.

It added that the government’s policy change also means the organisation cannot rely on those who do not need the payment to consider donating it to help others.

According to the appeal’s website, the campaign has raised more than £1.5 million so far, and the charity is appealing to anyone who feels able to donate to consider doing so.

£175 could be used to help someone pay for gas or electricity, whereas £350 could provide 500 litres of heating oil.

It adds that the fund has provided a lifeline for many thousands of people by helping them to stay safe and healthy in their own homes as the weather turns colder.

How can I apply for the scheme?

You may apply for support if you are over the age of 66 and are not on pension credit.

You must also live in Suffolk, have maximum savings of £5,000 and a maximum income of £20,000, or £24,000 if you’re a couple.

Three charity partners are working with Suffolk Community Foundation to manage the applications and payments; East Suffolk Citizens Advice, Sudbury and South Suffolk Citizens Advice and Gatehouse Caring.

Individuals wishing to apply should get in contact with the office of the district or borough they live in.

What other cost of living payments are available?

Plenty of councils across the country are offering extra support to pensioners in light of the missing Winter Fuel Payment.

For example, Salford City Council has £2.7million of cash to give to struggling people this winter.

Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett said the funding will help the most vulnerable and anyone who is struggling financially should get in touch.

It will not be paid in cash but in vouchers which residents can use for food or fuel.

Residents do not need to be in receipt of benefits to apply. You can apply by visiting: //contactus.salford.gov.uk/?formtype=HSF.

You can also call the helpline 0800 011 3998.

The current economic climate is seeing more charities step in to fill the gap left by a lack of support from the Government and statutory services.

For those living with cancer, Macmillan’s Financial Grants Scheme was established to help support those who are struggling to cover essential living costs.

So anyone living with cancer and who needs help with bills and other essentials can apply for the grant.

It’s worth up to £350 and is a one-off payment and can be used to help with things like:

Energy bills
Home adaptions
The cost of travel to and from hospital
Any extra costs you might have because of cancer

It is means-tested, so you must have no more than £6,000 in savings for a household of one person or no more than £8,000 for a household of two or more people.

You must have a weekly income of no more than £323 per week for a household of one person or no more than £442 per week for a household of two or more people.

Benefits like personal independence payments (PIP), disability living allowance (DLA) or attendance allowance (AA) do not count towards income for this.

To apply you can call 0808 808 00 00 or you can speak to one of your healthcare team, like a district nurse or Macmillan nurse, care professional or benefits adviser who can fill in the form with you online.

The British Legion has also set up a Cost of Living grant, which can be applied for here using the Lightning Reach portal.

You can also find out what grants may be available to you using Turn2Us’s grant search on the charity website.

There is a huge range of grants available for different people �?including those who are bereaved, disabled, unemployed, redundant, ill, a carer, veteran, young person or old person.

How has the Household Support Fund evolved?

The Household Support Fund was first launched in October 2021 to help Brits pay their way through winter amid the cost of living crisis.

Councils up and down the country got a slice of the £421million funding available to dish out to Brits in need.

It was then extended in the 2022 Spring Budget and for a second time in October 2022 to help those on the lowest incomes with the rising cost of living.

The DWP then confirmed a third extension of the scheme through to March 31, 2024.

Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt extended the HSF for the fourth time while delivering his Spring Budget on March 6, 2024.

In September 2024, the Government announced a fifth extension.

What is the Household Support Fund?

You may also be eligible for up to £500 worth of cost of living payments from the government’s Household Support Fund (HSF) which is worth £421 million in total.

It’s available to support those who are struggling to afford household basics including food, energy, wider essentials, and exceptional costs.

The fund has been split up between councils in England who are in charge of distributing their allocation.

It was set up in 2021, however, it has been extended by the UK government a number of times.

How much you are eligible for is usually based on what benefits you already receive and your financial circumstances.

To be eligible for help, you usually have to be in receipt of a council tax reduction or show proof of being in financial difficulty.

Each council has a different application process – so you’ll have to ask your local authority or find out via your council’s website.

To find out how to contact your local authority, use the gov.uk authority tool checker.

In the last round of funding, some residents received their share automatically, while others had to apply.

For example, Haringey London Council is issuing automatic payments to eligible residents, as well as a support fund which can be applied to.

It is also issuing payments to schools, which means they can distribute free school vouchers.

THE tallest rollercoaster in the world has confirmed it will be closing down.

Kingda Ka, at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, is the world’s tallest at 456 feet tall.

AFPThe world’s tallest rollercoaster is closing for good[/caption]

AFP - GettyKinga Ka first opened in 2005[/caption]

However, the theme park has confirmed that the ride would be closing as it “has been surpassed by modern advancements”.

Having opened in 2005, it was also the fastest rollercoaster with top speeds of 128mph although this has since been beaten.

Park spokesperson Mark Villari Jr. told Theme Park Tribune: “What was cutting-edge roller coaster technology 20 years ago has been surpassed by more modern advancements.

“This has challenged operations and contributed to an inconsistent guest experience.”

In its place, the park said a new ride will replace it which will be a “multi-world-record-breaking launch roller coaster”.

Also replacing the Green Lantern rollercoaster, it will open in 2026.

The park’s president Brian Bacica said in a statement: “We understand that saying goodbye to beloved rides can be difficult, and we appreciate our guests�?passion.

“These changes are an important part of our growth and dedication to delivering exceptional new experiences.

“We look forward to sharing more details next summer.�?lt;/p>

Also opening at the park is The Flash: Vertical Velocity, which will be “North America’s first super boomerang coaster” when it opens next year.

Last year, Kingda Ka was forced to temporarily close because of a cable snap mid ride.

While no one was hurt, the ride was evacuated and shut down.

Despite its top speeds, it dropped to the second fastest rollercoaster in the world after Formula Rossa opened in Abu Dhabi in 2010.

However, Kingda Ka is only one of two stratacoasters in the world – a ride that has drops of at least 400 feet.

Passengers endure a steep 90 degree climb before plummeting down the other side.

A much-loved UK theme park has also been forced to close.

Flambards Theme Park in Cornwall confirmed earlier this month that it would be shutting permanently.

Use these tips on your next theme park trip

Next time you visit a theme park, you may want to use our top tips to make the most of your adrenaline-inducing day out.

Go to the back of the theme park first. Rides at the front will have the longest queues as soon as it opens.
Go on water rides in the middle of the day in the summer – this will cool you off when the sun is at its hottest.
Download the park’s app to track which rides have the shortest queues.
Visit on your birthday, as some parks give out “birthday badges” that can get you freebies.
If it rains, contact the park. Depending on how much it rained, you may get a free ticket to return.

The park cited “rising costs and a steady decline in visitor numbers”.

We’ve also rounded up videos of the other fastest rollercoasters in the world.

THE BBC has given viewers a peek behind the scenes of its new period drama Miss Austen, which features an all-star cast – not least a Line of Duty star.

Keeley Hawes stars as Cassandra Austen in the film – hot off the heels of Scoop.

The star-studded BBC adaptation of Gill Hornby’s much-loved novel is expected to air next year on the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth.

The new pictures show the star-studded cast for the first time and reveal an insight into what will come for excited fans.

Meanwhile, other talents include Rose Leslie from Game of Thrones as Isabella Fowle, Phyllis Logan from Downtown Abbey, Calam Lynch from Bridgerton, and Alfred Enoch from Harry Potter.

Also pictured are Synnøve Karlsen (Last Night in Soho, Clique), Patsy Ferran (Living, Hot Milk), Max Irons (Condor, The Wife), and Liv Hill (The Serpent Queen, Elizabeth Is Missing).

Viewers can also see Jessica Hynes (Life After Life, Years and Years), Mirren Mack (The Witcher: Blood Origin, The Nest) and Kevin McNally (The Crown, Ten Percent).

The four-part drama reimagines the literary mystery of Catherine Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane’s letters.

BAFTA-winning writer Andrea Gibb has adapted the story for the screen.

The story starts in 1830, sometime after Jane’s death, while Cassandra (Keeley Hawes) rushes to see her friend Isabella (Rose Leslie), who is about to lose her home following her father’s death.

Although Cassandra is seemingly there to help her friend.

But her real motive is to locate a stash of private letters that could destroy Jane’s reputation if in the wrong hands.

However, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she remembers her youth upon finding them.

Flashbacks introduce viewers to Young Cassy and Jane (Patsy Ferran) while Cassandra’s reminiscing helps her realise her blindness to the real cause of Isabella’s heartache.

Bonnie Productions also produce Miss Austen for Masterpiece in the US.

The series is directed by BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Aisling Walsh (Maudie, Elizabeth is Missing) and produced by Stella Merz (Gentleman Jack, Renegade Nell).

CHANNEL 5 is bringing back their heartwarming rural series Winter on the Farm, and fans don’t have long to wait.

Hosts Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson are set to return to the screen, welcoming viewers into the heart of the British countryside just in time for the colder months.

Channel 5Winter On The Farm is coming back for another series[/caption]

Channel 5The Channel 5 show will start airing in the beginning of December[/caption]

The majority of the show is filmed at Cannon Hall Farm in Yorkshire.

This is a large, family-run farm attraction tucked away in the rolling Pennine foothills.

Helen and Jules can be expected to give viewers another season of fresh insights into the ways farmers – and their animals – prepare for the festive season.

The new series will kick off on Tuesday, December 3.

From then on it will air weekly on Channel 5 from Tuesday to Friday at 8pm.

This means audiences will have four nights a week where they can find out more about countryside Christmas traditions and gain appreciation for the rural lifestyle.

Last year farmers Rob and Dave Nicholson filmed some scenes with their loveable sheepdog Boomerang and Highland Cow – bizarrely named Ted.

Helen showed viewers one of her favourite spots in the Lake District, and Jules demonstrated the importance of mental health walks.

Helen previously spoke about the series fondly, saying: “I love the crisp, cold days, I love being outside all day, getting the cold and wind on my face and then the rewards of sitting in front of the fire warming up.

“With the team on Winter on the Farm, we just have a laugh, it’s a great atmosphere, just like hanging out with friends.”

When does the John Lewis Black Friday sale start?

Like last year, the John Lewis Black Friday sale has started early, with the retailer choosing to launch deals from the beginning of November.

Currently, the retailer has live deals in its tech, beauty, and fragrance departments, but we’re sure more price cuts will be announced imminently for eager shoppers.

More and more retailers like John Lewis are choosing to offer early deals, which extends the discount season and gives bargain hunters more time to browse and research offers before checking out.

Remember to research, compare, and track price changes before parting with your cash to ensure you get the best deal available on your purchase.

When is Black Friday 2024?

This year Black Friday falls on November 29, which is the day after the US Thanksgiving holiday.

The shopping event kickstarts a ‘Cyber Weekend’ of sale discounts which concludes on Cyber Monday (December 2).

However, there is more meaning to the Black Friday name than big discounts and bundles.

Over the last decade, Black Friday has become a global phenomenon, with thousands of international retailers taking part in the annual sale event.

Many retailers like John Lewis are launching Black Friday sales in advance of November 29, so bargain hunters have even longer to find the best Black Friday deals.

Does John Lewis have a Price Promise?

Regular John Lewis shoppers will be aware of the retailer’s famous Never Knowingly Undersold pledge.

It means if you find an item for a lower price from one of John Lewis’ rival retailers within seven days of purchasing, John Lewis will refund you the difference.

The store regularly check prices against its 25 main rivals and requesting your refund is simple, check the John Lewis website for step-by-step price promise instructions.

It’s very straightforward to claim, simply:

Check you qualify for a price promise refund by comparing prices online.
Head to the John Lewis website to fill out the form within 7 days of your purchase.
If you’re eligible, John Lewis will refund the difference to your original payment method.

When does the John Lewis Black Friday sale end?

Cyber Monday is usually an online-only sale event and typically marks the end of the Black Friday deals.

The John Lewis Black Friday sale usually ends at midnight on Cyber Monday, which this year falls on December 2.

Previously, different departments at John Lewis launched offers on separate dates, so it could be that some price reductions continue after Cyber Monday.

But, that remains to be seen.

John Lewis will be adding new offers throughout November, so it’s definitely worth checking the website regularly to avoid missing out on any Black Friday deals you’re after.

When is Cyber Monday 2024 and is John Lewis taking part?

This year, Cyber Monday falls on December 2.

It is always on the first Monday immediately after Black Friday and usually concludes the offers for the Cyber Weekend.

Cyber Monday was traditionally the online counterpart to Black Friday.

There has been a shift towards offering deals online throughout November, so Cyber Monday is now considered the end date of most sales.

Many retailers will offer discounts right up until midnight, however, some of the most popular items tend to sell out fast.

So you will want to move quickly if you see a bargain you don’t want to miss out on.

When do the John Lewis Cyber Monday deals end?

Generally, Black Friday sales tend to last until Cyber Monday �?though some do continue long into December.

In theory, Cyber Monday – which is on 2 December this year – will be the final day of the 2024 Black Friday sales.

However, some retailers can be generous and extend their deals.

It’s worth checking out the John Lewis website after Cyber Monday to see if any of its Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts are still live.

Wait too long though and you risk missing out on that must-have item you were after, as popular deals sell out quickly.

Do your research before buying to get the best price, but don’t expect further price reductions the longer you wait as the best prices are likely to be had on Black Friday through Cyber Monday.

POKÉMON TCG Pocket has only just been released but already millions log in each day to play.

It’s all about collecting and battling, and people keep opening packs of cards in order to build the best deck.

Creatures IncTCG Pocket asks you to collect cards and then use them in battle[/caption]

Creatures IncThere are gorgeous full art cards that you can collect[/caption]

Creatures IncYou can then use the cards you collect in battle[/caption]

Currently there is only one set of cards with three kinds of booster packs to pull from.

The Genetic Apex set features three booster packs, each of which includes its own exclusive cards.

Players can pick between Mewtwo, Charizard, and Pikachu to fill out their Genetic Apex collection.

However, there are only 226 cards in this original set, and much like Pokémon, fans always want more.

Luckily, players�?calls will soon be answered as The Pokémon Company has revealed that cards will be added to the game before the end of the year.

The statement reads: “To begin with, we plan to add new booster packs by the end of the year.�?lt;/p>

It’s not clear if these booster packs will be part of Genetic Apex or not, but it seems from the description that it will include new cards.

If these new packs are part of Genetic Apex, it’s likely that they will be full-art, or other variations of existing cards.

Even more interesting is that the trading feature that is teased on the social hub has a release date.

The statement reads: “In addition, we are aiming to add a feature that allows certain cards to be traded starting in January, 2025.

“We are planning to gradually expand the selection of cards that are able to be traded.�?lt;/p>

This likely means that common cards will be able to be traded very soon, but that we’ll have to wait a while longer to trade full art and immersive cards.

The statement also says that more features will be added in the future, but that the company isn’t ready to reveal what these are yet.

Gotta Collect ‘em All

People love collecting things, and with the popularity of the real-life card game, it seemed obvious that TCG Pocket would be a hit.

TCG Pocket is based around loot boxes though, and adding more cards will only encourage people to spend more money on the game.

Trading should counteract this somewhat, as people will no longer have to keep pulling cards to grab their missing cards.

We hope that Pokémon will keep an eye on player activity and not take advantage of its player base.

If you want to read more about the game, check out how you can grab an immersive Mew card in TCG Pocket.

A UNIVERSITY student has revealed the shocking speed which cancer cells can grow in a jaw-dropping demonstration.

Sophie Williams, an oncology PhD student, captured the fascinating growth of triple-negative breast cancer cells in an artificial environment in her lab in Nottingham, UK.

CatersSophie Williams, an oncology PHD student, posted a video to social media to demonstrate the shocking rate at which cancer cells can grow[/caption]

CatersViewers described the video, which went viral, as “terrifying”[/caption]

Her main role is researching cell culture, including breast cancer cells, an exploring how fast they grow with different treatments an environments.

The 23-year-old, from Nottingham, intended to highlight the process of growing cancer cells, educate, and raise awareness among viewers, but her video went viral.

Having amassed more than 7.4 million views on TikTok, Sophie was shocked at the interest and support the video had brought to many who had experienced cancer in their lives.

The video shows Sophie looking under a microscope at cancer cells on day one, two, three and then four.

She explains on day one, the cell count is low and the cells have a circular shape. The cells have also not yet developed any other structures.

By day two, Sophie says the cells start to develop spindle-like structures, making them appear stretched out. It’s at this point, she says, the cells start to grow rapidly.

On day three, the spindle structures appear more noticeable, says Sophie. At this point, cells start to double in population just over a day.

She then explains by day four that the cells start to link together using stellar projections.

To avoid overconfluency (a condition in cell culture where cells reach a high density and compete for space) she advises the cells need to be transferred into a new flash, she says.

She then picks up a small flask where viewers can see cancer cell colonies that have formed.

Sophie said: “Some viewers found the video interesting to watch and enjoyed it.

“They also asked loads of questions which makes me pleased that people are thinking about it.

“Some other viewers found the video very scary to watch, understandably.

“However, sometimes it’s important to share stuff like this so that people don’t just turn a blind eye to cancer.

“It’s very important to check yourself and get screening if you’re concerned about something.�?lt;/p>

One viewer said: “Wow! This explains why my TNBC went from a pea-sized lump to a golf ball in a month!�?lt;/p>

Another commented: “This is terrifying!�?lt;/p>

Cancers that spread quickly

Triple-negative breast cancer is one of many cancers considered more aggressive and that can spread quickly.

Pancreatic cancer is a fast-moving and dangerous cancer that’s difficult to detect early.

It can cause painful symptoms like stomach pain and blocked bile ducts.

Merkel cell carcinoma is another fast-growing cancer that spreads quickly to other parts of the body.

It’s a type of skin cancer that develops when Merkel cells in the skin’s outer layer grow out of control.

Treatment options depend on whether the cancer has spread beyond the skin.

Small cell lung cancer is a fast-growing type of lung cancer that often spreads before diagnosis.

Treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy can help slow the spread.

Other aggressive types of cancer include acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and acute myeloid leukaemia (aggressive types of leukaemia), and glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer.

In contrast, some cancers, like prostate cancer, grow so slowly that a doctor may recommend a “watchful waiting” approach.

The UK’s cancer screening programmes

There are three screening programmes in the UK – bowel cancer screening, breast cancer screening, and cervical screening.

As part of the bowel cancer screening programme, bowel cancer testing kit are sent out every two years to people who can take part.

You need to be registered with a GP to receive your screening invitations.

The test, which is done at home, is called FIT – Faecal Immunochemical Test – and looks for tiny traces of blood.

The kit contains instructions of what to do including a prepaid envelope to send the sample to the hospital.

The NHS Breast Screening Programme invites all women from the age of 50 to 70 registered with a GP for screening every three years.

Breast screening uses a test called mammography which involves taking x-rays of the breasts.

The NHS cervical screening programme invites women between 25 and 64 for cervical screening.

The smear test, as it’s known, uses a soft brush to collect a small sample of cells from the cervix, which are then sent off to a lab for testing.

What to do if you think you have cancer

If you have symptoms that you think may be cancer, you should contact your GP immediately.

It’s important to seek help early because finding cancer early makes it easier to treat.

Accurately diagnosing cancer can take weeks or months.

As many cancers often develop slowly over several years, waiting for a few weeks will not usually impact on the effectiveness of treatment, says the NHS.

GOOGLE has introduced a brand new alert on Android phones that every user must look out for.

Scammers steal an estimated £787billion from people across the globe a year and they are constantly evolving their tactics.

GoogleLook out for this alert on your phone[/caption]

GettyThe tool will work on Pixel 9 smartphones first[/caption]

But tech giant Google has come up with a clever way to protect people from sneaky attacks.

Sophisticated AI built into your phone can detect key signs of an on-going scam in real-time.

It will pop-up as an alert on your handset urging you to end the call.

Your phone will also vibrate.

“Likely scam – suspicious activity detected for this call,” it reads.

The tech looks for conversation patterns commonly linked to fraud.

“For example, if a caller claims to be from your bank and asks you to urgently transfer funds due to an alleged account breach, Scam Detection will process the call to determine whether the call is likely spam and, if so, can provide an audio and haptic alert and visual warning that the call may be a scam,” Google says.

Scam Detection is switched off by default so you will need to switch it on to benefit from the added layer of protection.

The feature is processed on-device, so no chat audio or transcription is stored on your phone, nor is it sent to Google servers or anywhere else.

It is available on the latest Pixel 9 smartphones first, before rolling out to older Pixels.

Other Android brands will also get access to it soon.

Of course, the alert can only do so much and you should still be vigilant when taking calls.

The call alert system isn’t the only new tool Google has released.

A live threat detection will now be on hand to deliver real-time alerts of harmful apps identified by Google Play Protect.

“At launch, live threat detection will focus on stalkerware, code that may collect personal or sensitive data for monitoring purposes without user consent, and we will explore expanding its detection to other types of harmful apps in the future,” the firm says.

What to do if you think you’ve been scammed

IF you’ve lost money in a scam, contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or by visiting Actionfraud.police.uk.

You should also contact your bank or credit card provider immediatley to see if they can stop or trace the cash.

If you don’t think your bank has managed your complaint correctly, or if you’re unhappy with the verdict it gives on your case you can complain to the free Financial Ombudsman Service.

Also monitor your credit report in the months following the fraud to ensure crooks don’t make further attempts to steal your cash.

MILLIONS of Apple iPhone and iPad users could be owed a £70 payout after a consumer group accused the tech giant of ripping customers off.

Which? claims the computer and electronics company is breaching competition law by forcing people to use its iCloud services.

AlamyMillions of iPhone users could be eligible for refunds worth an average of £70[/caption]

Apple iCloud lets you securely store your photos, files, notes, passwords and other data.

It also acts as a backup in case you lose your phone or it is stolen.

But Which? says Apple has encouraged users to sign up to iCloud while making it difficult to use other products at the same time.

The consumer group claims Apple doesn’t let customers store or back up all of their phone’s data with a third-party provider, and they have to pay when the amount of data stored breach a 5GB limit.

Which? also says Apple customers are being overcharged for iCloud subscriptions.

It said this is partly because of the tech giant’s dominance of the market, meaning it is difficult for alternative services to gain traction and offer competition.

The consumer group is seeking damages for customers who have obtained iCloud services since October 1, 2015.

It estimates this is around 40million people, and that individual customers could be owed an average of £70.

However, you could receive more or less than this based on how long you have been using the iCloud service.

Which? chief executive Anabel Hoult said: “We believe Apple customers are owed nearly £3 billion as a result of the tech giant forcing its iCloud services on customers and cutting off competition from rival services.

“By bringing this claim, Which? is showing big corporations like Apple that they cannot rip off UK consumers without facing repercussions.

“Taking this legal action means we can help consumers to get the redress that they are owed, deter similar behaviour in the future, and create a better, more competitive market.�?lt;/p>

A spokesperson for Apple UK said: “Apple believes in providing our customers with choices.

“Our users are not required to use iCloud, and many rely on a wide range of third-party alternatives for data storage.

“In addition, we work hard to make data transfer as easy as possible – whether its to iCloud or another service.

“We reject any suggestion that our iCloud practices are anticompetitive and will vigorously defend against any legal claim otherwise.”

What happens next?

Which? is urging Apple to settle the claim without the need to take the case to tribunal.

The consumer group is asking that Apple offers iCloud customers their money back and allows customers “real choice” of cloud provider.

If this doesn’t happen, Which? will ask the Competition Appeal Tribunal’s permission for the claim to proceed – what’s known as a “certification”.

A hearing would then be set for Which? to put its case forward.

There’s no guarantee that compensation will be issued to iPhone and iPad users – only if the case is won at tribunal.

You can register your claim and see if you could be eligible for compensation via cloudclaim.co.uk.

The Which? legal claim is not the first to be launched against global companies in recent years.

In June, the British Independent Retailers Association (BIRA) accused Amazon UK of illegally using data belonging to competing sellers to market rival products for a cheaper price.

The group of retailers, represented by law firm Willkie Farr and Gallagher, said damages could be worth £1.1billion.

Last July, a collective action was launched against Amazon and Apple UK, claiming the tech giants made a secret pact in October 2018 to restrict sales of Apple products by independent merchants on Amazon’s website.

JON JONES has seemingly once again flip-flopped on the prospect of retirement.

The former pound-for-pound king returns to the octagon early on Sunday morning in the main event of UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden.

APJon Jones returns to the octagon at UFC 309 to defend his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic[/caption]

GETTYThe former pound-for-pound king recently performed a U-turn on his clash with Miocic being his swansong[/caption]

GettyBut the 37-year-old has seemingly had another change of heart[/caption]

Jones, 37, will make the first defence of the heavyweight crown he won last March against former two-time champion Stipe Miocic.

The Hall of Famer has for the best part of a year hinted that his clash with the former two-time heavyweight king will be his swansong.

But just a few days ago, as UFC bigwig Dana White predicted, he suggested he’d stick around for one last big payday against surging superstar Alex Pereira.

But the former long-reigning light-heavyweight champion has once again changed his tune.

He told ESPN: “You know I feel like I’ve been debating on whether I’m going to retire or not.

“I really don’t know if I’m going to retire or not.

“I feel like I’m basing a lot of whether I retire or not on my performance.”

Retirement is something also at the forefront of the mind of 42-year-old Miocic, who returns to the cage this weekend following a three-and-a-half-year hiatus.

TONY BELLEW has hit back at the “cowards” who booted him out of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s pre-fight press conference.

The former WBC world champion, 41, was escorted out of Wednesday’s event after a stunt for bookmakers Paddy Power went wrong.

Paul faces 58-year-old Tyson in a Dallas dust-up on Friday, with the fighters facing off at a press event yesterday.

Interrupting proceedings with a megaphone and standing next to an elderly man dressed in a boxing robe, Bellew bellowed: “I’ve got your next opponent here, Jake.

“This guy’s got two hips so he is ready for you, Jake. He’s a great grandfather and he’s ready for you.

“He’s 107, a great-grandfather. Come on Jake, give this fella a chance.”

Bellew was promptly ejected from the Toyota Music Factory in Irving.

Speaking later to talkSPORT, Bellew revealed exactly what he said to the security guards tasked with removing him.

Bellew explained: “The guy gave me a shove in the back and I said ‘You’re an absolute coward’.

“Do you understand what I’d do to you? Please walk away.

“His other mate said ‘We’re all talk are we?’

“I said it’s not talk, it’s a promise. I’d annihilate three of you at once, so please don’t do it.”

Bellew held the WBC cruiserweight title from 2016 to 2017 and finished his pro career 30-3-1 from 34 fights.

Earlier in fight week, Bellew described Iron Mike as his “boxing icon.”

He told The Daily Mail: “One of the reasons why I became the world champion was because of Mike Tyson.

“He inspired an entire generation, and even though I wasn’t part of that era, I grew up watching his fights.

“I was born in 1982, and I stayed up until three or four o’clock in the morning to watch his fights in the early �?0s.

When is Black Friday 2024?

This year Black Friday falls on 29 November. Traditionally it has always followed Thanksgiving in the USA.

See our explainer on how Black Friday came to be and how got its name.

In recent years the annual sale has grown phenomenally and now retailers across the world take part.

It is now the biggest shopping event in the UK and has taken over from what were traditionally the best sale periods after Christmas.

You can expect to find massive price cuts across the board during the Black Friday weekend as retailers compete for your attention.

Is Sage taking part in Black Friday this year?

Sage has already launched Black Friday deals on its site, with 25% off a range of coffee machines.

It has labelled this sale its “Early Black Friday Deals”, which could mean that its best discounts are yet to come.

There are also discounts live at third party retailers including Argos and John Lewis, so make sure you’re shopping around for the best deal.

What to expect from Sage’s Black Friday sale 2024

SageSage 3X Bluicer – a blender and juicer in one[/caption]

SHOP SAGE DEALS

We’ve already seen some exciting discounts on Sage Coffee Machines, including on popular models like the Barista Pro and Bambino Plus.

Sage isn’t just about coffee though. It also has a fantastic range of kitchen gadgets, including blenders, food processors, toasters, kettles, and bread makers.

This year, Cyber Monday is on December 2nd, always the Monday after Black Friday and the grand finale of the annual shopping spree.

Originally focused on online shopping, Cyber Monday has evolved, with retailers now offering deals both online and in-store.

It’s one of the best days to snag bargains after Black Friday, but if you’re eyeing something specific, don’t wait too long hoping for even lower prices.

While many offers are available over the long weekend, the best deals with the biggest discounts sell out quickly.

SHOCKING footage shows the moment a huge lorry blaze sent thick plumes of black smoke billowing over the M62, sparking traffic chaos for thousands.

The blaze broke out around 11.40am on Wednesday, sending thick plumes of black smoke billowing into the air, visible for miles.

Thick black smoke billowed into the air after a fire on the M62

A firefighter is seen battling the horror blaze

It saw thousands of motorists hit with delays

Emergency services rushed to the scene between junctions 23 (New Hey Road, Huddersfield) and 24 (Ainley Top), where the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames.

The fire forced a complete shutdown of the eastbound carriageway and causing chaos for drivers.

As the flames roared, firefighters scrambled to get the situation under control, spraying water in a desperate bid to douse the inferno.

But the motorway was left at a standstill for hours as thousands of vehicles queued for miles.

Disgruntled drivers were unable to move as thick smoke drifted across both the eastbound and westbound lanes.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service continued to bravely battle the flames as shocked motorists watched on.

At the time, the traffic management system, Inrix, said: “M62 Eastbound blocked, stationary traffic due to vehicle fire from J23 A640 New Hey Road (Huddersfield) to J24 A629 (Ainley Top).

“The road has been blocked since around 11.40am. Originally reported as an accident.”

Footage from the scene showed the massive fire raging as emergency crews worked to contain it.

Multiple fire service appliances were summoned to bring the large blaze under control.

With traffic piled up for hours in both directions, drivers were forced to sit in scorching heat, unable to escape the smoke.

The fire was finally brought under control in the afternoon.

Cops confirmed that the eastbound carriageway was reopened, allowing traffic to move again.

Delays continued on due to the backlog of traffic but the worst of the chaos had passed.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but initial reports suggested the incident was linked to a vehicle malfunction.

It comes after dramatic footage captured a lorry explode into flames during another incident last month.

The motorway was closed in the clockwise direction between Junction 5 in Kent and Junction 6 in Surrey because of the devastating blaze.

Drivers stuck on the motorway filmed the burning wreckage as fire crews tackled the blaze.

Another driver captured the flames engulfing the stranded lorry – with smoke billowing across the motorway.

After firefighters extinguished the blaze, the video revealed the charred remains of the lorry, with hardly any recognisable parts left.

Thousands of drivers are suffering severe delays because of the closures.

MIKE TYSON frustrated even Jake Paul with his frosty one-word press conference answers – but it’s part of his plan.

The heavyweight icon and YouTuber-turned-boxer looked to trade verbal blows just two days before their controversial clash in Texas.

GettyMike Tyson looks on at a press conference with Jake Paul[/caption]

Jake Paul lashed out at his legendary opponent

Sportsfile

But 58-year-old Tyson – who has a catalogue of memorable press conference moments – appeared disinterested on stage.

Asked if he has rediscovered his frightening, savage and brilliant best, he shrugged: “I guess I’m back. I’m just happy to be here.”

Tyson then added: “I’m just ready to fight, I’ve said everything I have to say. There’s nothing else to say, I’m just looking forward to fighting.”

Paul has over 50 MILLION social media followers across his platforms and acts as brash and outspoken online as he does in front of the camera.

But he clearly mistook Tyson for running his own social media pages, which have been full of threats heading into their Netflix fight.

Because when Iron Mike got in front of Paul he had little to say, much to the confusion of his opponent of 31-years difference.

Paul moaned: “Man, there’s a lot of s*** talk online saying you’re going to kill me but nothing in person.

“I don’t know. It’s pretty boring, pretty f***ing boring.”

Tyson is back for his first professionally-sanctioned bout since 2005 despite returning in a 2020 exhibition with Roy Jones Jr.

The fight with Paul is to be contested over eight two-minute rounds – opposed to the usual three – with bigger 14oz gloves on instead of 10oz.

Tyson did at last let out a quick glimpse of his volatile prime when probed on the consequence of what he deems an impossible loss to Paul.

He snapped: “I’m not gonna lose. I am not going to lose. Did you hear what I said?”

Tyson then faced off with Paul with little emotion or care, unbothered about causing a stir with pre-fight theatrics.

SunSport ran into a member of Tyson’s camp and asked whether his nonchalant behaviour was a ploy or genuine.

“Mike’s in kill mode.” They sharply responded.

BRIGHTON are this season’s biggest over-achievers.

And Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United are all suffering a significant drop-off from last term.

AFPBrighton have exceeded expectations this season[/caption]

GettyChelsea have also impressed[/caption]

GettyMeanwhile, Man Utd have experienced a drop-off[/caption]

SunSport experts have analysed the like-for-like performances of every top flight team compared to the same period in 2023-24.

To ensure a full comparison, the three promoted teams – Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton – are awarded the results that relegated Burnley, Luton and Sheffield United respectively got in their matches.

And Brighton’s stunning comeback win over champions City on Saturday mean the Seagulls are a superb nine points and 11 goals better off than after the same 11 matches last term.

It is a sign of the impact of new Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler on his squad, which fell away under predecessor Roberto de Zerbi last term.

But there is ammunition for Enzo Maresca and Andoni Iraola to point to about their positive impacts this term.

Chelsea – seven points better off – and Bournemouth, who have earned an extra six points from the matches are second and third in the comparison table.

And while Liverpool’s brilliant start to the campaign – and the recent wobbles for City and Arsenal – have put Arne Slot’s men five points clear at the top, they have actually slightly under-achieved last term’s efforts under Jurgen Klopp, with the same points tally and a goal difference worse by three.

At the bottom end, even Wolves‘ first win of the season over Southampton cannot hide the fact that Gary O’Neil’s side had earned 12 points more after the corresponding matches last season.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

Brighton top the table

Crystal Palace, on minus seven, and Everton with six points fewer, fill the “relegation zone�?

But the next three sides up from the bottom are United, who have earned five points less, Arsenal picked up four more in the same games last term and City, who are three points down as a result of that defeat at the Amex.

Lucy-Jo, 41, who split from Coronation Street actor Alan, 42, in 2018, shared a photo from her on set dressing room.

She posted a picture of her posing in the mirror with the script in her hand.

But the TV star has cleverly hid the title page, which prompted many fans to speculate what show she would be appearing in.

Lucy captioned it: “Back Filming again.

“I feel so blessed that i get to do a job that I genuinely love, 25 years in the biz and I still don’t take it for granted.”

Lucy, who shares daughter Sienna-Rae, 10, with Alan, noted that juggling motherhood and work pressures can be hard.

She added: “It’s not always easy juggling kids, work, and everything in between, but every second is worth it.

“Feeling so grateful for this crazy, beautiful life.”

Many fans were desperate to know what Lucy-Jo will be starring in.

One eager follower wrote: “Brilliant news.. So happy for you. Is it going to be on terrestrial TV? Don’t worry I’m not fishing for info. Its just otherwise i wont be able to watch it . I’ll keep an eye out for it though.”

A second posted: “Is this same thing you have been working on? Spill the beans please.”

A third commented: “Yes yes yes Lucy. So happy to see you doing what you love. Enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing you on screen soon.”

Her Hollyoaks character exited the soap in September 2023 after the death of her daughter, Juliet Nightingale, from cancer.

Shortly after leaving, Lucy-Jo revealed her other “side hustle” of being a travel agent.

She announced the news on Instagram alongside a glamorous photo of herself posing in the women’s loos on a night out.

She said: “In my industry, it’s not easy.

“I could audition for 8 job and get none, yet I could fall into a job next week, or I might not work for 6 months!

“It’s not easy but I continue to push as I love nothing more than acting!

“But while I’m in limbo, I have decided I need a side hustle. Something that will fit around the kids, that I can take on the road when I’m going to London for castings, something I can keep working on while I get an acting role I love.

“And I’ve found the perfect thing! Does anyone else fancy working from home earning an extra income? Watch this space! #LJsTravelClub.”

Lucy-Jo nd Alan met while on the set of Coronation Street.

Alan, who had been on the soap for four years by this time, instantly struck up a friendship with the actress.

This soon turned to romance, and by 2004 they had started dating.

Their time working together came to an end in 2005 when Lucy-Jo was killed off, but they continued their relationship away from the cobbles.

The pair didn’t wait long to get married and tied the knot in June 2009 and welcomed their first child together in 2013.

In May 2018, Lucy-Jo and Alan shocked fans when they announced they were getting divorced.

Their marriage had reportedly been struggling for some time, and saw them split in 2016, before getting back together.

A source told The Sun at the time: “It’s very amicable but they’ve decided to go their separate ways.

“Alan’s been joking that he’s having a mid-life crisis and he went and treated himself to a brand new car five days ago. It’s a difficult time for both of them.

“They’re devastated the marriage is over but have vowed to stay friends. They still really care for each other.�?lt;/p>

Following their split announcement, Lucy revealed: “I can confirm Al and I are in the process of divorcing. We remain friends and devoted Mummy and Daddy to our daughter Sienna.”

Lucy-Jo and Alan were previously said to have had an “amicable split”.

However in November 2024, as Alan headed into the I’m A Celebrity jungle, it was reported they are now “barely speaking” to each other.

An insider told The Sun: “Alan and Lucy-Jo still aren’t on speaking terms.

“If Alan needs anything he goes through her boyfriend Lewis (Devine).

“They both want what’s best for their daughter Sienna but they won’t communicate.

“Things are just as bad as when they first fell out.

“Alan still has a few issues with how things played out between them when they split.�?lt;/p>

Since 2018, Lucy-Jo has been in a relationship with Lewis Devine, who she met when she was doing panto.

Meanwhile, Alan found love with former co-star Tisha Merry.

They were together for five years until 2024 before they called time on their romance.

AN ULTRA-RARE classic Ferrari, one of just eight in existence, has gone up for sale at an eye-watering sum.

The “wonderfully preserved” supercar has only averaged around 5,000 miles a year from new and has had just three owners.

mediadrumimagesThis Ferrari Dino 246 GTS is up for sale in London[/caption]

mediadrumimagesThe model was named for company founder Enzo’s eldest son[/caption]

mediadrumimagesThis example is one of just eight with Daytona-style seats[/caption]

The Ferrari Dino 246 GTS was created in 1971 as a convertible version of the 246 GT.

The latter was itself a response to clamour from fans to add more power to the original 1967 Dino 206 GT.

As such, it boasts a 2.4-litre V6 and top speed of 146mph, making it one of the fastest cars of its era.

The model was named for Alfredo ‘Dino’ Ferrari, the eldest son of company founder Enzo, who died from a degenerative illness in 1956, aged just 24.

At the time of his death, he was working on what would become known as the Dino engine and be placed in the lineup of cars also bearing his name.

Now, one of the 1,274 GTS models has gone up for sale through RM Sotheby’s.

This example is particularly special as it is one of only eight built in right-hand drive and featuring Dayton-style racing seats.

It is also still proudly displaying its original colour combination, with a Rosso Dino paint job over a Nero leather interior.

The car was imported in 1973 as one of only 235 Dinos sold in the UK.

Since then, it has only clocked up £25,763 miles, an average of just over 5,000 a year.

The pictures attached to the listing show it to be in immaculate condition.

The ad states: “As a low mileage example and just one of eight right-hand-drive cars equipped with Daytona-style seats, this Ferrari Dino 246 GTS is no ordinary offering.

“For those seeking to buy a Dino with outstanding provenance and history, chassis 06752 is surely one for consideration.”

The car is currently awaiting sale in London, with a whopping price tag of £350,000.

BRITS have been warned to change their dangerously hackable passwords as soon as possible.

Security experts have revealed a list of the most common passwords �?and they’re so easy to crack, hackers could break into your accounts in seconds.

NordVPNMake sure you’re using long and complicated passwords �?and ensure they’re never re-used across multiple accounts[/caption]

Passwords are notoriously poor ways of protecting your accounts.

That’s why tech giants like Apple and Google are now offering far safer alternatives called “passkeys”.

The problem with passwords is that people often choose simple ones that are easy to remember.

Not only that, but they’ll re-use them on multiple accounts.

That risks a hacker breaking into several accounts just by compromising a single password.

Now security giant NordPass �?which offers a virtual private network app that encrypts your web activity �?has revealed its annual report on the most common passwords.

And if you use any of the log-ins on your list, you could be hacked in seconds.

That’s because hackers will often simply dump long lists of commonly used passwords against email addresses to see what they can break into.

In the UK, the most commonly used password is “password”.

This is followed by “qwerty123” and “qwerty1”, which are both typed by going from left to right on a computer keyboard’s top row of letters.

Third up is “123456”, followed by “liverpool” in fifth place.

“Using identifiable information, such as a favourite football team, names of family members, or the city you live in, can make passwords easier to determine,” said Joe Cockroft, an “ethical hacker” at the UK’s North East Business Resilience Centre.

“While this information may be easy to remember, it could also be easy for threat actors to figure out after a short time exploring your social media profiles, for example.

“NordPass’s Most Common Password List shows just how popular football teams are for UK passwords, as well as how many passwords lack complexity and are often a single word.

TOP 20 MOST COMMON PASSWORDS IN BRITAIN

Here's NordVPN's official danger list...

password
qwerty123
qwerty1
123456
liverpool
123456789
password1
qwerty
liverpool1
arsenal
12345678
chelsea
Password
charlie
football
abc123
arsenal1
rangers
Password1
charlie1

“Threat actors will often use a list of thousands or millions of words that help them crack your password.

“The National Cyber Security Centre advises that regularly changing passwords can cause more harm than good.

“Instead, it suggests that better password hygiene is more sufficient in securing accounts. Nevertheless, passwords should be changed immediately if a compromise is suspected or known.”

You can read the full list of common passwords here.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR ACCOUNTS SAFE

There are some simple rules to follow to stay safe.

Firstly, never ever use a simple password.

Make sure they’re 12 or even 16 characters long, with a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.

Secondly, never repeat the same password across multiple accounts.

AppleYou can use a password manager �?like Apple’s iCloud Keychain service �?to suggest strong log-ins and store them for you[/caption]

One way to get around this problem is to use a password manager.

Google has a built-in password manager in its Chrome browser and on Android phones.

And Apple offers its iCloud Keychain for iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices.

These managers will suggest complicated passwords for you, and then remember them so you don’t have to.

It’ll make it much harder for a hacker to break into your accounts.

Third, ensure that you’re always using multi-factor authentication.

That means having a second layer of security for logging in �?like a code sent via text, or through an authenticator app.

It’s a great solution because hackers will struggle to break in even when they know your password.

ApplePasskeys are an increasingly popular alternative to passwords that rely on face- or fingerprint-scanning tech for your log-ins[/caption]

Fourth, check to see if your accounts have been compromised.

Google and Apple password managers should both warn you if your log-in has been leaked.

But you can also use HaveIBeenPwned.com to see if you’ve been caught up in a leak or hack.

Finally, consider using passkeys if the app or service you’re logging in to supports them.

AS the frosty weather swoops in, creating a warm and inviting space is crucial.

And an interiors expert has insisted it’s all about choosing the right colours.

GettyColours including orange and forest green create a warm atmosphere in your home[/caption]

According to Abbas Youssefi, co-founder of Porcelain Superstore, certain hues can bring instant warmth to a space, making it feel cosy and welcoming – without reaching for the heating switch.

Here are the six colours you should be incorporating into your home this winter.

Deep Terracotta

Warm and earthy, terracotta is a grounding colour that brings a sense of nature indoors.

Perfect for walls or accent pieces, this shade can create a cocooning effect that feels cosy and sophisticated.

Abbas said: “Terracotta is a fantastic choice for winter because it exudes warmth. It’s bold yet comforting, and its earthy tone adds depth, making rooms feel intimate and inviting.�?lt;/p>

Mustard Yellow

If you’re looking to bring in a bit of sunshine during the darker months, mustard yellow is a go-to.

This rich, golden hue adds a cheerful warmth to any room, from living areas to kitchens.

“Mustard yellow is perfect for adding vibrancy without being overpowering,�?Abbas explained.

“It’s a colour that works especially well as an accent, such as on cushions or throws, adding instant warmth to a space.�?lt;/p>

Forest Green

This deep, luxurious shade of green brings a sense of calm and warmth to a room.

It pairs beautifully with wooden furniture and natural textures, enhancing a cosy, woodland feel.

Abbas added: “Forest green has a wonderful way of creating a restful yet warming atmosphere. It’s ideal for creating a snug space where you can escape the cold.�?lt;/p>

Rich Burgundy

Burgundy’s not just the colour of the season in the fashion world.

This deep red hue adds a luxurious touch to interiors, bringing a sense of richness and depth. It’s a great choice for feature walls or even in smaller touches like cushions and rugs.

Abbas said: “Burgundy instantly makes a space feel more inviting.

“It’s a sophisticated shade that adds warmth and elegance, making it perfect for winter.�?lt;/p>

Soft Taupe

For a more neutral approach, taupe is a dark gray-brown colour which offers a soft and subtle warmth that works across various interior styles.

It’s an ideal choice for a base colour, pairing well with both cool and warm accents.

Abbas said: “Taupe is timeless and has an understated warmth that can make rooms feel snug without overwhelming them. It’s great for creating a relaxed, cosy atmosphere.�?lt;/p>

Burnt Orange

Burnt orange brings energy and warmth, making it a beautiful choice for winter. It works well as an accent colour, adding warmth without being too intense.

Abbas added: “Burnt orange is lively yet grounding.

“It’s perfect for adding pops of warmth to a space, particularly through accessories like cushions, rugs, or artwork.�?lt;/p>

ROYAL Mail is to make a major change to fees within days as shoppers face a surcharge this Christmas.

The service has revealed that business account customers will be asked to pay an additional peak surcharge of 5p for letters and 10p for parcels.

GettyRoyal Mail is to make a major change to fees within days[/caption]

This will come into force on November 18 and end on January 10, 2025 – the peak time for Christmas deliveries.

While the surcharge won’t be charged to directly to consumers, there are concerns that they will end up footing the bill anyway as businesses look to up their prices to cover the extra cost.

Sarah Coles, personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “At a time when rising prices have eaten into profits, some companies will feel they have no alternative but to pass the costs on.

“It means shoppers being clobbered with extra delivery charges at a horribly expensive time of year.”

The same surcharge was added to letters and parcels for the first time last year.

The 5p peak surcharge is applied to Royal Mail 24 and Royal Mail 48 large letters, Royal Mail Tracked 24 and Royal Mail Tracked 48 letterboxable products sent by business account holders.

While the following products will be hit with a 10p peak surcharge:

Royal Mail 24
Royal Mail 48 Parcels
Royal Mail Tracked 24
Royal Mail Tracked 48 Parcels
Royal Mail Tracked Returns
Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 9am, 1pm and end of the day Sunday
Special Delivery Guaranteed Returns

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “The peak surcharge only applies to business customers for the Christmas period and was introduced last year.

“It applies an additional charge to certain business parcel products for a limited period to reflect the increased demand and capacity needed to handle increased volumes.

“Other parcel carriers apply a similar surcharge. Christmas is our busiest time of the year and we invest in around 16,000 additional staff, more vehicles and temporary sites to increase our capacity to handle double the normal volumes of parcels.�?lt;/p>

It comes after Royal Mail upped the price of first-class stamps by 30p to £1.65 at the start of October.

First class stamp prices increased by 10p to £1.35 in April and by 10p to 85p for second class.

Royal Mail said it had tried to keep price increases as low as possible in the face of declining letter volumes, and inflationary pressures.

More Royal Mail changes

In October, Postal regulator Ofcom said that Royal Mail could be allowed to drop Saturday deliveries for second class letters under an overhaul of the service.

Regulator Ofcom, which has been consulting on the future of the universal postal service since January, said it is now focusing efforts on changes to the second class service while keeping first class deliveries six days a week.

Under the plans being considered, second class deliveries would not be made on Saturdays and would only be on alternate weekdays, but delivery times would remain unchanged at up to three working days.

Ofcom said no decision had been made and it continues to review the changes, with aims to publish a consultation in early 2025 and make a decision in the summer of next year.

Royal Mail said letter volumes have fallen from 20billion in 2004/5 to around 6.7billion a year in 2023/4, so the average household now receives four letters a week, compared to 14 a decade ago.

Royal Mail also ousted old-style stamps and replaced them with barcoded ones last July.

The business said the move would make letters more secure.

Anyone who still has these old-style stamps and uses them may have to pay a surcharge.

How to save money on Christmas deliveries

CHRISTMAS is all about giving, but unfortunately, it does come at a price - especially if you prefer to shop online.

Senior Consumer Reporter Olivia Marshall shares five ways you can save money on Christmas deliveries to help you protect the pennies this festive season.

Order early

Many retailers offer discounts on shipping costs if you place your orders well in advance.

This can also help you avoid the higher costs associated with last-minute express deliveries.

Free shipping offers

Look out for retailers that offer free shipping promotions, especially during the festive season.

Some stores provide free delivery if you meet a minimum purchase amount.

Click and collect

Opt for click and collect services where you can pick up your purchases from a local store or designated collection point.

This can often be a free service and can save you on delivery fees.

Combine orders

If you are buying from the same retailer, try to combine your purchases into a single order.

This can help you meet free shipping thresholds or reduce the number of delivery charges you need to pay.

Use discount codes

Search for discount codes or vouchers that can be applied to your delivery costs.

Websites and browser extensions dedicated to finding and applying discounts can be particularly helpful.

By planning ahead and taking advantage of these strategies, you can reduce the cost of your Christmas deliveries.

A CLASSIC Jaguar motor once owned by music royalty could be yours for just £22,000.

The 1967 Jaguar Mark X 4.2 was nabbed by pop legend Madonna as a gift for her son Rocco three years ago.

BNPSA classic Jaguar owned by pop icon Madonna is up for grabs at auction[/caption]

Not known, clear with picture deskMadonna inside the vehicle[/caption]

BNPSThe vehicle was bought by the Queen of Pop for her son, Rocco Ritchie, in 2021[/caption]

The two regularly used the vehicle to zoom around London -frequently uploaded snaps of the vintage motor to the hit maker’s Instagram account.

Rocco, 24, used the vehicle whilst studying at the Royal Drawing School.

It was believed to be a present to celebrate his 21st birthday.

Madonna’s was last seen posing inside the car in July this year.

The classic vehicle is just one of 5,137 made by the brand during a 24-month production tenure and has only clocked up 67,000 miles.

It boasts an eye-catching chrome trim, cream leather seats and features touchscreen technology beneath the dashboard.

The car is being sold by a dealer at Historics Auctioneers in Iver, Buckinghamshire and is expected to rake in £22,000 when it goes under the hammer on November 23.

Daniel Godin, car expert at Historics Auctioneers, said: “It’s such a pleasure to be offering for sale this wonderful piece of motoring and music history.

“Not only is it a rare and very collectible car in its own right but the fact that Madonna and her son Rocco are an indelible part of its history make it a real treasure.

“Doubtless the addition of the contemporary touch screen audio system added to their driving pleasure!�?lt;/p>

Rocco is the son of Madonna and film director Guy Ritchie, who married four months after he was born in 2000. They divorced in 2008.

Madonna is known to have owned several cars including a Range Rover SVA, a Dodge Challenger SRT and a Cadillac Escalade.

Guy Ritchie owns an array of luxury cars including a Jaguar E-Type, a Ferrari California and a Bugatti Veyron.

HOT ROD

Meanwhile, a stylist Lamborghini once owned by a legend of British rock music has sold for an eye-watering price.

The 1970s supercar is widely considered one of the most beautiful cars ever made – and is today considered a true icon.

The evergreen Lambo Countach LP400, one of only 157 examples of the first-series LP400 ‘Periscopio�?amp;nbsp;models produced, was once the prized possession of Sir Rod Stewart.

The Maggie May singer owned the retro supercar for 25 years – having first acquired it while touring Australia.

According to GQ, Sir Rod loved the 180mph car so much when it was delivered to him that he kept it inside his music studio for at least two weeks while he was recording demos for his Blondes Have More Fun album.

As he was in Australia at the time, he opted for a rare right-hand drive model – one of only 20 – but upon returning to Los Angeles, he took the Countach with him and had it converted to left-hand drive.

The listing states that the car eventually sold for �?89,375 – which is roughly £840,000.

Sir Rod is a renowned petrolhead and collector of luxury cars, and recently sold a Ferrari F50 – one of only 349.

KATIE Price fans have been left horrified as they spotted a ‘gross and unhygienic�?detail in the background of her cooking video.

The 46-year-old could be seen with her hair tied back wearing a blue hoodie as she prepared a pasta dish.

Instagram @katiepriceKatie Price fans have been left horrified as they spotted a ‘gross and unhygienic�?detail in the background of her cooking video[/caption]

Instagram @katiepriceThe star’s fans were distracted by her cat making its way towards the sink[/caption]

Instagram @katiepriceFans were impressed by Katie’s cooking[/caption]

She wrote: “This is how I make my Cheesy Pasta No-Name Dish,�?and poured tomatoes and mushrooms in together.

The star then popped mozzarella on the top and poured water over before adding the tomato sauce.

But despite Katie showing off her cooking prowess, fans were totally distracted by something going on in her kitchen.

Her cat appeared to jump into her sink midway through her video, leading one person to write: “That raw chicken you are defrosting in the sink is moving just an FYI.�?lt;/p>

A second added: “Wtf is that in the sink,�?and a third penned: “Eeeek the cat is in the sink Katie not good hygiene.�?lt;/p>

Another person wrote: “Katie there is an animal on your worktop �?that’s gross.�?lt;/p>

But despite the comments about her cat making its way around the kitchen, some KP fans defended her.

Someone fired back: “Didn’t even notice the cat, was too busy actually looking at the ingredients and what it turned out like just goes to show a lot of people look for on her page to find fault with whatever she does. Only reason I now know about the cat is these comments.�?lt;/p>

Katie’s cat is one of her three recent Sphynx cat purchases.

The former glamour model is a long-standing animal lover, but charities have begged her to stop buying pets alleging she doesn’t look after them properly.

But she added three hairless cats to her collection in September, with each pet costing up to £800 a pop, despite being embroiled in ongoing bankruptcy issues.

On Instagram, Katie shared the three pets all bundled up asleep together on a fluffy blanket, calling them “her three wrinkles�?due to their distinctive baggy skin.

Katie has been doting on the trio, even taking them for walks in a pram since she got them.

Her post comes after charity PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) called for the need for an injunction to be put in place, stopping the mum-of-five from owning pets.

They had previously offered Katie £5,000 to stop buying pets, which she has not responded to.

PETA UK founder Ingrid Newkirk told The Sun: “If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so, as this woman doesn’t care about the lives she wastes or listen to vital advice and is still treating live animals like stuffed toys: as disposable.

“If William Hill took totally tasteless bets, the odds would favour those betting on how little time this kitten has on Earth, given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price’s custody. No one could call it ‘care’.�?lt;/p>

The new additions to the family come just a few months after she revealed she had to put down her last “designer�?cat, Frog, after being diagnosed with a neurological disease.

SCARF coats have dominated the outerwear section over the last few winters, and we have Toteme to thank – except for the price tag.

I have searched high and low to find a much more purse friendly alternative, and M&S has delivered with its £75 Textured Detachable Scarf Wrap Coat, which keeps selling out.

M&SThe scarf can be removed too – genius[/caption]

M&S Textured Detachable Scarf Wrap Coat, £75

BUY HERE

At the time of writing this, the M&S’ Textured Detachable Scarf Coat is finally in stock, and in all sizes, after selling out on countless occasions.

The stylish designer alternative retails for £75, which I think is a much more affordable price tag in comparison to Toteme’s staggering £810 creation.

The pair look very similar, but if it means I save £735, it’s a no-brainer!

M&S’ Textured Detachable Scarf Wrap Coat is a stylish jacket to layer over any outfit this season.

You can pair with jeans, a turtleneck, and trainers, a satin slip skirt, or dress, even a mini skirt with knee high boots – it’s super versatile.

What I love is this coat is a bold statement in itself, and you really can let it shine on its own.

Plus, it’s a welcome alternative to cumbersome puffer jackets, which resemble sleeping bags, or leather jackets that are not always the most insulating.

The M&S design boasts a relaxed boxy structure; it is short in length as it skims the hip bones, and features dropped raglan sleeves.

It features a button front fastening, as well as side pocket detail.

This design sparked a whole new trend when it first launched

Toteme Embroidered Scarf Jacket, £810 at Liberty London

BUY HERE

But the main talking point is the detachable scarf, which can be wrapped around your neck to keep any pesky chills at bay.

However, if you get too hot you can simply remove and wear it as a collarless jacket too – this coat truly is versatile.

From the structure to the contrast stitch detailing along the hem, sleeves and cuff, is where the main similarities lie between the M&S and Toteme original.

Though Toteme’s stitching is more cream than a pure white tone, plus the scarf features fringed ends.

M&S’ Scarf Coat is unlined, and made from polyester, whereas Toteme’s Scarf Coat has been created using 88% wool and polyester blend.

If you feel the cold I would suggest layering up even more so with M&S’ design.

The M&S Scarf Coat is available in sizes extra small to extra large, but if history is anything to go by I predict this coat will sell out again – and fast!

With 4.5-out-of-5 stars, it’s safe to say I’m not the only fan of the brand.

One happy shopper gushed: “This a lovely on trend jacket, a steal in comparison to the designer brands, I have given it five stars as it really is value for money, stylish and cosy, it does have a slight nylon feel to it, but still looks great.

If you like the oversized look go with your usual size, if you prefer a snugger fit size down.”

Another added: “Love this coat it looks more expensive than it was.”

A separate M&S shopper shared: “Love this jacket, it’s so stylish, affordable and soft.”

James told The Sun’s Harry Cole that thousands are at risk of losing their farm unless the inheritance tax raid is urgently abolished

A major protest against the move will take place in Westminster next Tuesday, with more than 5,000 furious families set to attend.

Cops this week imposed a ban on tractors at the event amid plans for a convoy to make its way into central London.

Mr Melville implored the Chancellor to scrap the 20 per cent tax on farms valued over £1m or face further wrath.

Some campaigners have already threatened withholding meat and veggies from supermarkets for a week as a possible last resort.

The Farmer’s champion told Never Mind The Ballots: “We are going to gradually put the pressure on.

“The main thing at the moment is right across the industry and also politically, the Lib Dems, Reform, SNP and Tories are all saying the same thing and uniting with farmers.

“What people need to understand is the farmers do not want to do this, but they are their wit’s end because this potentially threatens the custodianship of many family farms.”

On Wednesday a cabinet row erupted after Ms Reeves rejected a bid by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to exempt some older farmers from the tax.

The Treasury insisted it won’t back down – even in the face of mass protests.

A DEFRA source told The Sun Environment Secretary Steve Reed is “fully behind” the Chancellor’s raids.

But other staff in the department have accused the Treasury of blindsiding them with the policy, saying they were only warned of it the night before the Budget.

A DEFRA spokesperson said: “With public services crumbling and a £22 billion fiscal hole inherited from the previous government, we have made the difficult decision to reform Agricultural Property Relief in a balanced and fair way.

“All Ministers support the policy and it will not change.�?lt;/p>

Treasury officials insist the tax raid, set to raise £500m, will only hit a wealthy 7 per cent of farmers.

But the National Farmers’ Union dispute the figure and believe 70,000 people could be impacted.

The NFU warned it will “snatch away the next generation’s ability to carry on producing British food�?

Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith told Never Mind The Ballots he will “absolutely” be at Wednesday’s protest.

He said: “I will be meeting my farmers and they are rightly fully seized of the difficulties and the attack that we are seeing on farms.

“Once you bring these measures into inheritance, driven by prejudice of the Labour party against wealth, who knows where it will stop?”

A MUM who already has her Christmas tree up has said she is not bothered by trolls who think it’s too early, saying: “At the end of the day it’s our choice”.

This is Caroline Roddy’s second year putting up her decorations in early November, a tradition she plans to continue every year.

Social Media CollectCaroline chooses to put her decorations up early for a special reason[/caption]

Social Media CollectHer house is already decked out for Christmas this year[/caption]

Social Media CollectIt took her hours even with the help of her children[/caption]

The Tipperary mum revealed there is a very special reason she started the tradition last year.

Her son Alfie, who is now eight, had a tumour removed from his mouth in June of last year but it started to grow again just three weeks later.

As the tumour was growing back, little Alfie was referred to Crumlin Children’s Hospital.

And as the family awaited a bed for Alfie, mum Caroline decided to get the decorations up to have “one less thing to worry about” during his recovery.

She told The Irish Sun: “I said, look, we’ll put the Christmas tree up because there’s one less thing to worry about when we come out of hospital because of his recovery.

“We put the tree up, I think it was a week before we got the phone call so he had his operation and we just got home the night of the Toy Show actually.”

During the operation, brave Alfie had part of his jaw removed and requires a plate in his mouth to cover the hole from the tumour removal.

And as a special celebration to mark the year anniversary of the operation, Caroline got the decorations out and up last week.

She said: “We’ve had a busy year since his operation, between hospital appointments, surgeon appointments and dental appointments up and down to Dublin, so why not?

“Life’s too short to be worrying about what other people think, especially after what we’ve been through this last year.”

And she added: “I’m at the stage if people don’t like it they know where the door is, at the end of the day it’s our choice.

“What harm is it, if we want to put them up early to cheer us up with everything that’s going on these days?

“It’s nothing but doom and gloom so this is our little cheer in life.”

And Caroline admitted she has gotten a few questions about having the house decorated nearly two months before Christmas day.

She said: “There’s a few going ‘Jesus you’re a bit early would you not leave them in the shed for another five weeks?'”

But some friends also see the benefit of having the mammoth task “over with”.

‘TOO EXPENSIVE’

And Caroline revealed that the decorating process took hours, even with help from her other son, Alex.

She said: “We were at it for a good few hours by the time you get it all up to the time the house is half organised afterwards but we enjoyed it.”

Despite the early Christmas start in their household, Caroline reuses the same decorations admitting it would be “too expensive” to buy new decor each year.

She said: “I’d say in another two years I’ll have to change the baubles just to make it look different.

“Of course I couldn’t be doing it every year. It’s too expensive to be changing this all around.”

‘I LOVE THEM’

Despite having the decorations up in early November, Caroline plans to leave them up well into the New Year stating she doesn’t get sick of them.

She said: “I’ll keep them up until the second week in January.

“I love them. It’s just nice when you’re sitting there in the evening.”

And she added: “It’s nice, it’s relaxing just to have the little glow of the tree.”

The family plan to make the most of Christmas this year after spending most of last Christmas aiding Alfie’s recovery.

She said: “We are spreading our Christmas joy as last year’s joy was swallowed with the aftercare of the operation.

“So we are making up for it.”

PUB goers were buzzing with excitement after being treated to an unforgettable night at Jeremy Clarkson’s boozer this week.

Punters going for a pint were pleasantly surprised by 90s icons The Corrs.

Jeremy Clarkson’s opened The Farmer’s Dog in August

Adrian Sherratt

The act brought their nostalgic hits to life with an intimate acoustic set.

A video of the music-filled evening was shared on the official Farmer’s Dog Instagram page where people could be seen singing along to the old hits.

The post was captioned: “What a great night in the pub with The Corrs.

“The way a good pub night should be ..acoustic set, a few drinks, great friends. Jeremy Clarkson thanks for organising it!”

Followers also were quick to express their gratitude for the special night, with one person writing: “It was a great evening. Lovely food and atmosphere. Thank you so much.”

Another exclaimed: “I was there last night for the sound check – they were amazing!”

A third chimed in suggesting Jeremy should change his pub’s name to ‘Heaven Sent’.

The Corrs are a pop rock band made up of four Irish siblings, who incorporate their local folk music into their sound.

Jeremy Clarkson bought the Oxfordshire pub for £1million this summer, and customers queued for four hours just to get in when he opened its doors in August.

He had to do a lot of renovation work on the site before it could be opened to the public, but it seems to have paid off, as it has received high praise for being a “traditional British pub”.

The former Top Gear host has admitted that the boozer already costs him more than he’s making back, but for now, he is committed to keeping the prices down and only touting British produce.

Joining The Saturdays

Rochelle was born on March 21, 1989, and grew up in Barking, East London.

She launched her pop career when she joined the S Club 7 spin-off group, S Club Juniors, in 2001.

The star then went on to join the girl group The Saturdays, who sang hits including What About Us, and Ego.

The Saturdays have been on hiatus since 2014, but they are considered to be one of the UK’s best girl groups.

Rochelle’s TV fame

Rochelle landed some high profile TV gigs after leaving The Saturdays.

She has presented Ninja Warrior UK, The Xtra Factor and The Next Great Magician.

JUST days after storming to election victory, Donald Trump has already identified some of the personalities who he wants to serve in his cabinet.

So far, his nominations include former Republican presidential rivals, firebrand politicians like Matt Gaetz, and Tesla mogul Elon Musk.

GettyDonald Trump has started nominating his cabinet[/caption]

And the president-elect, 78, is sure to keep drip-feeding names on his social media platforms before January’s inauguration.

The presidential cabinet consists of the commander-in-chief, his vice president, and 15 heads of executive departments.

Trump has not formed his entire cabinet yet, but here is what we know so far.

SUSIE WILES

ReutersSusie Wiles has been hailed for being a formidable operator[/caption]

Susie Wiles has been nominated to serve as Trump’s chief of staff.

She will be the first woman to assume the role.

Wiles, who is admired in Republican circles for being a formidable political operator, has worked with Trump on his three presidential campaigns.

Advisers have hailed Wiles�?ability to bring people together and how she can hold officials to account.

Trump name-dropped Wiles as he addressed his supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, once it became apparent he would win the election.

“Susie likes to stay sort of in the back,�?he said.

“Let me tell you, the ice baby. We call her the ice baby.

“Susie likes to stay in the background. She’s not in the background.�?lt;/p>

MATT GAETZ

Gaetz’s nomination for the role of attorney general has sparked controversy

President-elect Trump raised eyebrows among some Republicans when he nominated Matt Gaetz for the role of attorney general, head of the Department of Justice.

Gaetz, who decisively won Florida’s 1st Congressional District, on the far west of the panhandle, is a Trump loyalist and said it would be an honor to serve in the administration.

He even nominated Trump for speaker in January 2023 when now-former speaker Kevin McCarthy struggled to get the votes to assume the role.

But Gaetz does not come without baggage and has been embroiled in controversy.

Donald Trump's Cabinet Picks

In the days following his dominant Election Day victory, President-elect Donald Trump has begun carving out his future administation.

Here’s a list of Trump’s confirmed cabinet picks:

Susie Wiles – White House Chief of Staff
Stephen Miller – Deputy Chief of Staff
Bill McGinley – White House counsel
Tom Homan, ex-ICE acting director – “Border Czar”
Elise Stefanik, Republican New York representative – Ambassador to the United Nations
Lee Zeldin, former New York representative – Environmental Protection Agency administrator
Marco Rubio, Republican Florida senator – Secretary of State
Kristi Noem, Republican South Dakota governor – Homeland Security Secretary
Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor – Ambassador to Israel
John Ratcliffe, former Texas representative – CIA director
Pete Hegseth, US Army veteran – Secretary of Defense
Mike Waltz, Republican Florida representative – National Security Advisor
Steven Witkoff, real estate investor – Middle East envoy
Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy – Department of Government Efficiency
Tim Scott, Republican South Carolina senator – Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee
Tulsi Gabbard, former Hawaii representative – Director of National Intelligence
Matt Gaetz, Republican Florida representative – attorney general

He was being probed by the House Ethics Committee over allegations including sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old girl.

A report was about to be released, but Gaetz resigned from Congress, in effect short-circuiting the process.

Gaetz’s nomination sparked concern among some Republican lawmakers, with some senators thinking he wasn’t a serious pick.

MARCO RUBIO

ReutersRubio has urged the war in Ukraine to be wrapped up[/caption]

Rubio, a leading politician who has called for more transparency when it comes to UFOs, has been nominated to serve as secretary of state.

The Florida senator has been a critic of China and Iran and is thought to be a foreign policy hawk.

Rubio’s nomination comes more than eight years after he ran alongside Trump for the GOP nomination in 2016.

Rubio and Trump previously locked horns and the tycoon called his rival “Little Marco�?during the 2016 Republican presidential primary.

The senator hasn’t been previously frightened to call out Trump’s foreign policy.

In 2019, he claimed Trump abandoned the military effort in Syria before the war was completely over.

“The decision to abandon our Kurdish allies and withdraw American troops from Northern Syria is a grave mistake that will have severe consequences beyond Syria,” he said in a statement.

“It risks encouraging the Iranian regime to question American resolve and to escalate its attacks against our partners in the Middle East, which in turn could trigger a broader and more dangerous regional war.”

Rubio’s views on Ukraine have also changed over time.

In an X post from February 2022, he described Vladimir Putin as a “killer�?and backed Ukraine’s effort.

But now, he seems to echo Trump as he calls for the conflict to end.

Rubio’s Senate seat will become vacant should he join the Trump cabinet, and potential replacements have already been touted.

Florida law will allow Governor Ron DeSantis to nominate a temporary replacement until a special election can be held in 2026 for a senator to complete the last two years of Rubio’s current term.

One name that has been mentioned is Lara Trump – Donald’s daughter-in-law.

Lara, a former TV producer, has been the co-chair of the Republican National Committee since March 2024.

ELON MUSK

ReutersElon Musk sporting a Trump MAGA hat[/caption]

Tesla mogul Musk and Trump appeared on the campaign trail as the 2024 race entered its final months.

The SpaceX founder joined Trump on the stump for the first time when the tycoon returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a rally �?weeks after the attempted assassination.

Musk was also one of the headline acts at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

He was pictured rubbing shoulders with Trump’s family at the politician’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

In a clip shared by Trump’s granddaughter Kai, Musk was even invited to join a family photo.

Musk is spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency �?a unit responsible for cutting federal waste and saving money.

But DOGE is not an official government department.

And the name comes from an inside joke reference to Musk’s favorite meme cryptocurrency: Dogecoin.

VIVEK RAMASWAMY

ReutersRamaswamy will work alongside Musk in charge of DOGE[/caption]

Former presidential candidate Ramaswamy will also be leading the charge in DOGE.

Ramaswamy, who dropped out of the race in January, championed government cuts while he was on the campaign trail.

Following January’s shooting at Perry High School in Iowa, Ramaswamy said he would eliminate the Department of Education and use its budget to fund the hiring of armed guards for schools.

The Education Department had a budget of $238.04 billion in 2024, accounting for just 1.8% of the total federal budget.

TULSI GABBARD

AFPGabbard and Trump in August 2024[/caption]

Throughout Biden’s presidency, former Democratic lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard was a staunch critic when it came to foreign policy.

She blamed Joe Biden for seemingly bringing the US close to a global conflict.

And, she has not been shy to slam elites within the Democratic Party establishment.

Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022 before endorsing Trump in the summer of 2024.

She urged voters to “save the country�?by voting Trump into the Oval Office.

Gabbard has been nominated to be Trump’s director of national intelligence.

PETE HEGSETH

GettyFox News star Pete Hegseth has been nominated for Secretary of Defense[/caption]

Fox News star Pete Hegseth has been nominated to serve as Trump’s defense secretary.

Hegseth is an Army National Guard veteran and completed tours in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.

He also ran for Senate in Minnesota in 2012 before dropping out of the race.

Like Gaetz’s nomination, Hegseth’s has sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill.

Trump has hailed Hegseth as a tough, smart, and true believer of his America First policies.

The president-elect has also rewarded loyalists such as Elise Stefanik, who has been nominated to the role of United Nations ambassador.

BIG OMISSIONS

Florida representative Mike Waltz has been nominated for the role of national security adviser.

Governor Ron DeSantis has said the work for special elections to be held in light of Waltz’s nomination will begin.

Lee Zeldin, a close ally of Trump, has been nominated to lead the Environmental Protection Agency.

South Dakota governor Kristi Noem has been nominated to serve as Homeland Security Security, and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has been picked out to serve as Ambassador to Israel.

Trump loyalist Stephen Miller has been nominated for the deputy chief of staff position, while Tom Homan is set to become Trump’s “border czar.”

Trump has not yet named his White House press secretary.

But it will not be Alina Habba, who served as Trump’s attorney during his legal battles, as she ruled herself out of the running.

“Although I love screaming from a podium, I will be better served in other capacities,” she posted on X.

Many roles are still up for grabs, but some politicians who served in Trump’s first administration will not serve in the second.

Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo are among the high-profile Republicans that have been omitted.

A MAN has been doused in what’s believed to be bleach at a busy east London market.

He was on Broadway Market, Hackney, when an unidentified assailant poured a chemical substance on him just before 2pm today.

Cops confirmed that the attacker was still on the loose with no arrests having been made yet.

Numerous police and ambulance service vehicles arrived at the scene along with at least one fire engine.

Locals on social media have described “total gridlock” in the area due to the shocking incident.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: “Police were called at about 13:40hrs on Thursday, 14 November to reports of an assault at Broadway Market, E8.

“Emergency services attended and were informed that a substance, believed to be bleach, had been poured on to a man at the location.
