  44. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEICESTER CITY have been promoted to the Premier League.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  45.  
  46.  
  47.  
  48. &lt;p&gt;The Foxes&amp;#8217; promotion was sealed thanks to rivals Leeds losing 4-0 to QPR.&lt;/p&gt;
  49.  
  50.  
  51.  
  52. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570716&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/every-second-media-alamy-live-896969706_9b3d8b.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570716&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Leicester have been promoted following Leeds&amp;#8217; defeat to QPR[/caption]
  53.  
  54.  
  55.  
  56. &lt;p&gt;Leicester looked destined to return to the top flight at the first time of asking for much of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  57.  
  58.  
  59.  
  60. &lt;p&gt;But their promotion was far from a foregone conclusion following a run of just three wins in ten games which saw &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225859/leeds-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt; and Ipswich close the gap.&lt;/p&gt;
  61.  
  62.  
  63.  
  64. &lt;p&gt;Leeds are now in danger of missing out on an automatic promotion spot as they are just one point ahead of Ipswich, having played two games more.&lt;/p&gt;
  65.  
  66.  
  67.  
  68. &lt;p&gt;Leicester had to rebuild following relegation from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Prem&lt;/a&gt; with key stars James Maddison, Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes all leaving.&lt;/p&gt;
  69.  
  70.  
  71.  
  72. &lt;p&gt;Enzo joined as managed from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Manchester City&lt;/a&gt; and won 15 of his first 17 games in charge.&lt;/p&gt;
  73.  
  74.  
  75.  
  76. &lt;p&gt;Leicester fans now have an opportunity to celebrate all weekend ahead of their trip to Preston on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
  77.  
  78.  
  79.  
  80. &lt;p&gt;While there will be a promotion party at the King Power Stadium on May 4 when the Foxes take on Blackburn.&lt;/p&gt;
  81.  
  82.  
  83.  
  84. &lt;p&gt;Ipswich now have a great opportunity to seize on Leeds&amp;#8217; slip-up against Hull City on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  85.  
  86.  
  87.  
  88. &lt;p&gt;A win would move them above Leeds into second, leaving them needing just one win against Coventry or Huddersfield to secure promotion.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  106. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;HAVE I Got News For You viewers ripped into the show just minutes in as Martin Lewis guest hosted.&lt;/p&gt;
  107.

  109.  
  110. &lt;p&gt;The Money Saving Expert was in the hot seat of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BBC &lt;/a&gt;satire show for the very first time.&lt;/p&gt;

  119.  
  120.  
  121.  
  122. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27571060&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Screenshot-Capture-2024-04-26-21-49-39.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27571060&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;536&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Steph McGovern was a panelist along with Ignacio Lopez[/caption]
  123.  
  124.  
  125.  
  126. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/martin-lewis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Martin, 51&lt;/a&gt;, opened the show and wasted no time in dishing out his tongue-in-cheek comments on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/27532795/illegal-migrants-heading-to-rwanda-be-detained/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;government’s Rwanda policy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  127.  
  128.  
  129.  
  130. &lt;p&gt;He was joined by panelists Ignacio Lopez and Steph McGovern.&lt;/p&gt;
  131.  
  132.  
  133.  
  134. &lt;p&gt;However, just minutes in to his debut at the helm of the beloved show Martin was slammed by viewers.&lt;/p&gt;
  135.  
  136.  
  137.  
  138. &lt;p&gt;Fans watching at home branded him &amp;#8220;cringeworthy&amp;#8221; and pointed out how he was &amp;#8220;out of his comfort zone&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  139.  
  140.  
  141.  
  142. &lt;p&gt;One wrote: &amp;#8220;Try having a laugh Martin Lewis your making the show flat.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  143.  
  144.  
  145.  
  146. &lt;p&gt;A second commented: &amp;#8220;Martin Lewis seems to be out of his comfort zone hosting.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  147.  
  148.  
  149.  
  150. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The host should be capable of pronouncing the names correctly let alone matching the wit and humour of the other panellists,&amp;#8221; said a third.&lt;/p&gt;
  151.  
  152.  
  153.  
  154. &lt;p&gt;While a fourth posted: &amp;#8220;I usually like Martin Lewis … but that bit about his own website was just awful … cringeworthy stuff.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  188.  
  189.  
  190.  
  191. &lt;p&gt;Taking to X, formerly Twitter, he said: &amp;#8220;OK I&amp;#8217;ve got my flak jacket on, and am preparing to watch from behind the sofa, does anyone know where to buy skin thickener? &amp;#8211; as I think I need it.&lt;/p&gt;

  231. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GOGGLEBOX fans have been left scratching their heads after tuning into the latest episode of the hit show. &lt;/p&gt;
  232.  
  233.  
  234.  
  235. &lt;p&gt;The latest instalment of Gogglebox started with a new change to the opening credits &amp;#8211; but viewers could not work out why. &lt;/p&gt;
  236.  
  237.  
  238.  
  239. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570831&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 806px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/gogglebox-logo-327098662.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=796&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570831&quot; width=&quot;796&quot; height=&quot;429&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;E4&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Gogglebox fans were confused as the latest episode got underway[/caption]
  240.  
  241.  
  242.  
  243. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570841&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/gogglebox-fans-left-baffled-following-896974006.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570841&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;529&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Channel 4&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The show began with a new intro &amp;#8211; but viewers couldn&amp;#8217;t work out why[/caption]
  244.  
  245.  
  246.  
  247. &lt;p&gt;As the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/channel-4/&quot;&gt;Channel 4&lt;/a&gt; programme began, the usual theme tune was replaced with a new version featuring a piano. &lt;/p&gt;
  248.  
  249.  
  250.  
  251. &lt;p&gt;The announcer had confirmed moments before that it would open with a &amp;#8220;twinkly tribute&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  252.  
  253.  
  254.  
  255. &lt;p&gt;But fans were left baffled by the change to the usual start &amp;#8211; and one was even worried someone had died. &lt;/p&gt;
  256.

  258.  
  259. &lt;p&gt;Taking to X, formerly known as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter-2/&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, one viewer asked: &amp;#8220;Why have they changed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gogglebox/&quot;&gt;Gogglebox&lt;/a&gt; theme tune, totally threw me off?! #fridaynight.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  260.  
  261.  
  262.  
  263. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Is the theme tune different or am I hearing things?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  264.  
  265.  
  266.  
  267. &lt;p&gt;A third penned: &amp;#8220;Sounds like the Gogglebox theme tune has had an accident with an ice cream van.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  268.  
  269.  
  270.  
  271. &lt;p&gt;And a fourth remarked: &amp;#8220;That theme tune was definitely a different version to usual wasn’t it? I’m not going crazy?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  272.  
  273.  
  274.  
  275. &lt;p&gt;Someone else even wrote: &amp;#8220;What is that new music? Thought someone had died.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  276.  
  277.  
  278.  
  279. &lt;p&gt;Although Channel 4&amp;#8217;s mention of the &amp;#8220;twinkly tribute&amp;#8221; before Gogglebox started did not make it clear, The Sun can reveal the subtle change was to mark the return of a popular show. &lt;/p&gt;
  280.  
  281.  
  282.  
  283. &lt;p&gt;Kodaline&amp;#8217;s Perfect World intro had been switched to a piano medley for the return of The Piano. &lt;/p&gt;
  284.  
  285.  
  286.  
  287. &lt;p&gt; The Piano is back for a second series this weekend and several of the channel&amp;#8217;s most popular programmes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27568669/channel-4-overhauls-shows-theme-music-the-piano/&quot;&gt;have had their music tweaked to celebrate. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  288.  
  289.  
  290.  
  291. &lt;p&gt;Channel 4 &lt;span id=&quot;f7311e26-4030-4826-94a7-ae72308acbd9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;News&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/countdown/&quot;&gt;Countdown&lt;/a&gt; are also among those that will be featuring a new intro over the coming days. &lt;/p&gt;
  292.  
  293.  
  294.  
  295. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/come-dine-with-me/&quot;&gt;Come Dine With Me&lt;/a&gt;: The Professionals will also receive a sprinkle of Piano magic.&lt;/p&gt;
  296.  
  297.  
  298.  
  299. &lt;p&gt;Channel 4’s Chief Content Officer Ian Katz said: “The Piano is that rarest of things, a TV show that makes people feel better about the world after watching it than they did before.&lt;/p&gt;
  300.  
  301.  
  302.  
  303. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are spreading a little of that musical magic by replacing the theme tunes of some of our best loved shows with specially recorded piano versions.&lt;/p&gt;
  304.  
  305.  
  306.  
  307. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Big thanks go out to the talented composers and performers who have made this happen and our production partners who are joining us in celebrating the return of The Piano.”&lt;/p&gt;

  353.  
  354.  
  355.  
  356. &lt;p&gt;Not only are they affordable to buy, but they&amp;#8217;re also reliable, cheap to insure and require relatively little&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/car-maintenance/&quot;&gt;maintenance&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  357.  
  358.  
  359.  
  360. &lt;p&gt;Plus all the options are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ulez/&quot;&gt;ULEZ&lt;/a&gt; or Clean Air Zone compliant meaning that Brits living in and around cities won&amp;#8217;t have to shell out on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/climate-change-environment/&quot;&gt;environmental&lt;/a&gt; charges.&lt;/p&gt;
  361.  
  362.  
  363.  
  364. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Ford Mustang&lt;/h2&gt;
  365.  
  366.  
  367.  
  368. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ford/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Ford Mustang (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ford Mustang&lt;/a&gt; boasts a spacious interior, supportive seats, aggressive styling and decent performance at an affordable price. &lt;/p&gt;
  369.  
  370.  
  371.  
  372. &lt;p&gt;It has long been Ford&amp;#8217;s recipe for success to provide &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;cars (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/a&gt; that appeal to a wide range of people, and anyone looking for a fast, fun daily driver should take a look at the Mustang.&lt;/p&gt;
  373.  
  374.  
  375.  
  376. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Ford Fiesta&lt;/h2&gt;
  377.  
  378.  
  379.  
  380. &lt;p&gt;The Fiesta was, for good reason, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Britain's (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Britain&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; favourite car for much of the 21st Century.&lt;/p&gt;
  381.  
  382.  
  383.  
  384. &lt;p&gt;Ford sold 4.8 million units in a nearly 50-year production run, which saw the model claim the title of the most popular in the UK for 12 consecutive years between 2009 and 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  385.  
  386.  
  387.  
  388. &lt;p&gt;Carwow&amp;#8217;s John Rawlings described it as a &amp;#8220;great car to drive&amp;#8221; and it fits well within the £5,000 budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  389.  
  390.  
  391.  
  392. &lt;p&gt;It also offers a more spacious layout than many of its rivals on the list, making it an ideal&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/27180390/best-family-cars-under-5000-2024/&quot;&gt;family car&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  393.  
  394.  
  395.  
  396. &lt;p&gt;Get your hands on one while you can as Ford &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/20211402/ford-fiesta-faces-axe-46-years/&quot;&gt;discontinued the Fiesta in 2023&lt;/a&gt;, confirming that there were no plans to create an electric version ahead of the 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel sales.&lt;/p&gt;

  420. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Ford Escort&lt;/h2&gt;
  421.  
  422.  
  423.  
  424. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/24872640/shelby-cobra-roadster-sylvester-stallone-film-legend/&quot;&gt;cult classic&lt;/a&gt;, which rolled of the assembly line in 1988, is famed for its 1.6-litre four-cylinder &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/23960360/classic-ford-escort-hits-auction-for-eye-watering-price/&quot;&gt;engine.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  425.  
  426.  
  427.  
  428. &lt;p&gt;By 1995, following its second facelift, the Escort had evolved with an improved chassis, different steering and suspension set-ups and a curvier front end which gave a neater appearance.&lt;/p&gt;
  429.  
  430.  
  431.  
  432. &lt;p&gt;Today, the late-model Escort is a fine choice if you want inexpensive family transport. &lt;/p&gt;
  433.  
  434.  
  435.  
  436. &lt;p&gt;It can be yours to own for under £3,500 &amp;#8211; an absolute steal.&lt;/p&gt;
  437.  
  438.  
  439.  
  440. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;MORE BARGAIN BUYS&lt;/h2&gt;
  441.  
  442.  
  443.  
  444. &lt;p&gt;It comes after one car expert revealed the best motors for long commutes &amp;#8211; including a very comfortable &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mercedes-benz/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Mercedes (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mercedes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  445.  
  446.  
  447.  
  448. &lt;p&gt;Matas Buzelis, a motoring guru who works for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.carvertical.com/gb&quot;&gt;carVertical&lt;/a&gt;, has picked out a handful of cars &amp;#8211; with four priced at under £12,000 &amp;#8211; that he thinks are perfect for drivers that regularly use the motorway.&lt;/p&gt;
  449.  
  450.  
  451.  
  452. &lt;p&gt;Motorway&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;takes up the bulk of road trips, so choosing something great for main roads is what many motorists are looking for.&lt;/p&gt;
  453.  
  454.  
  455.  
  456. &lt;p&gt;For this, Matas picks the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mercedes-benz/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mercedes-Benz&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;E Class,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bmw/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BMW&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;5 Series and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/audi/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Audi&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;A6.&lt;/p&gt;
  457.  
  458.  
  459.  
  460. &lt;p&gt;He explains: “These are the best vehicles for longer trips on motorways or B-roads as they often have perfect sound insulation, very refined suspension and lots of power in cases of overtaking.&lt;/p&gt;
  461.  
  462.  
  463.  
  464. &lt;p&gt;“They are also very comfortable to drive; their ability to glide effortlessly down the motorway means they require less&amp;nbsp;energy&amp;nbsp;from the driver, making longer trips less tiring.”&lt;/p&gt;
  465.  
  466.  
  467.  
  468. &lt;p&gt;The E Class is the one that might particularly stand out here, as Matas says a used model that&amp;#8217;s around five years old can start from as little as £10,000, with a median price of £24,400.&lt;/p&gt;
  469.  
  470.  
  471.  
  472. &lt;p&gt;However, there are many other affordable alternatives, including the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ford/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ford&lt;/a&gt; Mondeo and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/skoda/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Skoda&lt;/a&gt; Superb &amp;#8211; with used, five-year-old models available from £7,500 and £9,500 respectively.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/27275246/car-expert-best-motorway-commutes-ford-mercedes-skoda/#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  485. Car auctions are a way to sell vehicles based on a bidding system with the highest offer securing the deal. &lt;/p&gt;
  487. &lt;div&gt;
  488. &lt;p&gt;Auctions aren&amp;#8217;t restricted to the rich and famous as thousands of cars are sold at motor auctions in the UK each week.&lt;/p&gt;
  489. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s what you need to know before attending an auction:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  490. &lt;ol&gt;
  491. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be prepared:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Do your research on the car you would like to purchase beforehand.&lt;/li&gt;
  492. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check the car:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Cars will usually be lined up before the start, so make sure to arrive early to inspect the desired car thoroughly.&lt;/li&gt;
  493. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have a back-up&lt;/strong&gt;: Be ready for disappointment as your desired motor may be sold to someone else and select a few back-ups.&lt;/li&gt;
  494. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be realistic:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Realise that there won&amp;#8217;t be a &amp;#8220;perfect&amp;#8221; car at an auction and adjust expectations accordingly.&lt;/li&gt;
  495. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Set a budget&lt;/strong&gt;: It is easy to overspend in the heat of the moment during bidding. Ensure you have set a budget and do not go over it.&lt;/li&gt;
  496. &lt;/ol&gt;
  497. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key phrases to look out for:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  498. &lt;ul&gt;
  499. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘No major mechanical faults’&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;– suggests that there shouldn&amp;#8217;t be any issues with the car&amp;#8217;s drivetrain, gearbox, suspension, or engine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  500. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘Specified faults’&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;– the auctioneer will read out specific faults.&lt;/li&gt;
  501. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘Sold as seen’&lt;/strong&gt; – the vehicle is sold with any problems it may have. The auction company will rarely entertain complaints regarding the mechanical or cosmetic condition of these vehicles after sale.&lt;/li&gt;
  502. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘Sold with a warranted mileage’&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; The car is being offered based on the report, which confirms the mileage through an independent check.&lt;/li&gt;
  503. &lt;/ul&gt;
  504. &lt;/div&gt;
  505. &lt;/div&gt;
  506. &lt;/div&gt;

  531. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;STARING up at the huge Olympics logo on Paris’s city hall, Mathilde Hoesch reveals her firm plans for when the Games begin.&lt;/p&gt;
  532.  
  533.  
  534.  
  535. &lt;p&gt;“I’m getting out and heading for the South of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt;,” the student tells me.&lt;/p&gt;

  548.  
  549.  
  550.  
  551. &lt;p&gt;“At first I thought the Olympics were a great idea, but in the past few months everything’s gone badly.”&lt;/p&gt;
  552.  
  553.  
  554.  
  555. &lt;p&gt;Many here say they will be joining Mathilde in a mass exodus from the French capital as the sporting jamboree threatens to become an organisational flop.&lt;/p&gt;
  556.  
  557.  
  558.  
  559. &lt;p&gt;With fewer than 100 days to go, there are deep concerns over security, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27201021/paris-2024-olympics-river-seine/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;untreated sewage in the River Seine&lt;/a&gt; and a creaking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/transport/&quot;&gt;transport&lt;/a&gt; network.&lt;/p&gt;
  560.  
  561.

  564.  
  565.  
  566.  
  567. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570480&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sun-s-chief-features-writer-896681731.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570480&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;654&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Homeless migrants on the streets of Paris have been moved away as France bids to improve the image of the capital&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Simon Jones&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  568.  
  569.  
  570.  
  571. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, campaigners have accused the authorities of “social cleansing” and “hiding poverty” after migrants and the homeless were cleared from the streets.&lt;/p&gt;
  572.  
  573.  
  574.  
  575. &lt;p&gt;There are fears&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14556912/shocking-pics-paris-streets-trash-mayor-city-rubbish-dump/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; binmen will go on strike&lt;/a&gt; during &lt;span id=&quot;1f6c9294-cf1e-492b-8329-2e32070ee73c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the Games&lt;/span&gt; — leaving the city stinking with uncollected rubbish and crawling with rats.&lt;/p&gt;
  576.  
  577.  
  578.  
  579. &lt;p&gt;Many also dread the return of the blood-sucking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bed-bugs/&quot;&gt;bed bugs&lt;/a&gt; which &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24302167/bed-bugs-paris-ruined-holiday-uk-australia-proposal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;plagued the French capital &lt;/a&gt;last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  580.  
  581.  
  582.  
  583. &lt;p&gt;It all leaves French president &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/emmanuel-macron/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Emmanuel Macron&lt;/a&gt;’s dream of outshining Les Rosbifs’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london-2012-olympics/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;triumphant 2012 Games&lt;/a&gt; in severe jeopardy.&lt;/p&gt;
  584.  
  585.  
  586.  
  587. &lt;p&gt;Macron — a preening showman nicknamed Jupiter after the all- powerful Roman god — is desperate to add some Olympic lustre to his flagging premiership.&lt;/p&gt;
  588.  
  589.  
  590.  
  591. &lt;p&gt;One of his aides said: “This is the first European Games since London 2012, and Mr Macron knows it will be even better.”&lt;/p&gt;
  592.  
  593.  
  594.  
  595. &lt;p&gt;The French leader has staked much on a lavish opening ceremony, which is planned to take place on the River Seine that snakes through Paris.&lt;/p&gt;

  623. &lt;p&gt;The idea is for 10,500 athletes on 116 barges to meander through the City of Light for almost four miles as the sun sets.&lt;/p&gt;
  624.  
  625.  
  626.  
  627. &lt;p&gt;A no-fly zone will extend for a radius of 93 miles for six hours, and 45,000 cops will line the route which will showcase Paris’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/architecture/&quot;&gt;architecture&lt;/a&gt; and finish opposite the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/17977859/eiffel-tower-taller-france-antenna/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Eiffel Tower&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  628.  
  629.  
  630.  
  631. &lt;p&gt;Yet many Parisians fear the July 26 spectacle is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27387889/paris-olympics-2024-security-vow-isis-threat/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;a catastrophic folly.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  632.

  634.  
  635. &lt;p&gt;At his vintage book stall on the banks of the Seine, Luc Sirop claims the vast security cordon will be inadequate. &lt;/p&gt;
  636.  
  637.  
  638.  
  639. &lt;p&gt;Motioning to the other side of the river, he made a gun shape with his hand and said: “Anyone could have rented a flat there two years ago and be planning something.”&lt;/p&gt;
  640.  
  641.  
  642.  
  643. &lt;p&gt;Luc, 60, who has sold &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/books/&quot;&gt;books&lt;/a&gt; at the tourist location opposite Ile de la Cite for 25 years, added: “The boats will pass us here. It’s so dangerous.”&lt;/p&gt;

  652.  
  653.  
  654.  
  655. &lt;p&gt;Astonishingly, organisers are still short of 8,000 security guards for the Games, including 1,400 personnel required for the Seine spectacular.&lt;/p&gt;
  656.  
  657.  
  658.  
  659. &lt;p&gt;France is on high alert following the massacre of 145 innocents by terrorists linked to the Islamic State group at Crocus City Hall outside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/russia/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Moscow &lt;/a&gt;last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  660.  
  661.  
  662.  
  663. &lt;p&gt;When IS suicide bombers &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2163925/bataclan-massacre-paris-attacks-2015-anniversary-latest/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;attacked Paris in 2015&lt;/a&gt;, killing 130 people, their first &lt;span id=&quot;fa071767-cd08-4fec-9fcb-7b73f918e10d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;target&lt;/span&gt; was the Stade de France, the Olympic centrepiece stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
  664.  
  665.  
  666.  
  667. &lt;p&gt;Uncertainty over the opening ceremony has already led to crowds for the four-hour nautical parade being scaled down by around half to 320,000 people.&lt;/p&gt;
  668.  
  669.  
  670.  
  671. &lt;p&gt;And President Macron says France has a “plan B and a plan C” if forced to cancel the river parade for security reasons. &lt;/p&gt;
  672.  
  673.  
  674.  
  675. &lt;p&gt;It may see formalities taking place at the Trocadero, opposite the Eiffel Tower, instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  676.  
  677.  
  678.  
  679. &lt;p&gt;Residents and motorists will need a QR code to enter an area along the Seine and around Olympic venues before and during the Games.&lt;/p&gt;
  680.  
  681.  
  682.  
  683. &lt;p&gt;Some here believe France is going too far in sacrificing civil liberties.&lt;/p&gt;

  706.  
  707. &lt;p&gt;A recent Ipsos poll found just 47 per cent of French people thought the country capable of organising a successful Games, while 53 per cent said they were interested in it.&lt;/p&gt;
  708.  
  709.  
  710.  
  711. &lt;p&gt;The event’s eco-credentials are hurt by holding the surfing contest in French overseas territory &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/22841933/ile-callot-france-tahiti-uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tahiti&lt;/a&gt;, a 22-hour flight from Paris.&lt;/p&gt;
  712.  
  713.  
  714.  
  715. &lt;p&gt;Yet there is no doubt this city of tree-lined boulevards and monumental squares makes a stunning backdrop for the Games.&lt;/p&gt;
  716.  
  717.  
  718.  
  719. &lt;p&gt;The Olympic rings motif will adorn the Eiffel Tower, high above the beach volleyball &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; currently under construction there.&lt;/p&gt;
  720.  
  721.  
  722.  
  723. &lt;p&gt;But those walking beside the Seine this week would have seen another side of a city immortalised with air-brushed beauty in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt; drama &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/emily-in-paris/&quot;&gt;Emily In Paris&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  724.  
  725.  
  726.  
  727. &lt;p&gt;A migrant camp of ramshackle tents has built up on its banks opposite Ile Saint-Louis and directly outside Paris’s city hall.&lt;/p&gt;
  728.  
  729.  
  730.  
  731. &lt;p&gt;There appear to be no toilet facilities for the 200 or so asylum seekers and the stench of urine &amp;nbsp;is overpowering. &lt;/p&gt;
  732.  
  733.  
  734.  
  735. &lt;p&gt;On plastic fences around four tents opposite &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/notre-dame-fire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Notre Dame cathedral&lt;/a&gt;, still being rebuilt after its calamitous fire in 2019, someone has scrawled “Migrants Go Home”. &lt;/p&gt;
  736.  
  737.  
  738.  
  739. &lt;p&gt;Passer-by Katarine, 64, who dec-lined to give her second name, said: “The authorities have tried to move them but they just come back.”&lt;/p&gt;
  740.  
  741.  
  742.  
  743. &lt;p&gt;Migrants in the camp told me they were hungry and destitute.&lt;/p&gt;
  744.  
  745.  
  746.  
  747. &lt;p&gt;Suleyman Sangare, 17, of Guinea, West Africa, said: “If they move us, where will we go? I don’t want to watch the Olympics, I just want somewhere to live.”&lt;/p&gt;
  748.  
  749.  
  750.  
  751. &lt;p&gt;Mamadou Kamara, 16, from the Ivory Coast, also in West Africa, told me: “We are living in misery. Of course we will be moved but we’ve got nowhere to go.”&lt;/p&gt;
  752.  
  753.  
  754.  
  755. &lt;p&gt;Nearby, a homeless man lies sprawled amid his meagre belongings on the Seine’s bank, apparently drunk, as Parisians enjoy lunchtime sandwiches in the sun. &lt;/p&gt;
  756.  
  757.  
  758.  
  759. &lt;p&gt;The swirling waters of the river — the setting for marathon &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/swimming/&quot;&gt;swimming&lt;/a&gt; and the triathlon — are also under the microscope.&lt;/p&gt;
  760.  
  761.  
  762.  
  763. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt; Surfrider Foundation says the river is awash with “pollution of faecal origin” — untreated sewage. It found “alarming” &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bacteria/&quot;&gt;bacteria&lt;/a&gt; levels after taking samples over a six-month period.&lt;/p&gt;
  764.

  769. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  770. &lt;p&gt;No Parisian would ever go into the river&lt;/p&gt;
  771. &lt;p&gt;Actually, I had a friend who once did and he got a bad infection&lt;/p&gt;
  772. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  776. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  778.  
  779.  
  780.  
  781. &lt;p&gt;Surfrider’s Marc Valmassoni said: “Bathers are exposed to illnesses such as gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, ear infections and skin problems.”&lt;/p&gt;
  782.  
  783.  
  784.  
  785. &lt;p&gt;The city is banking on a new treatment plant at Austerlitz Bridge to clean up the water and says that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; rainfall levels should mean less sewage overflow into the river.&lt;/p&gt;
  786.  
  787.  
  788.  
  789. &lt;p&gt;If tests prove the water is still contaminated come July, the swimming events can be postponed until later in the Games when conditions might have improved.&lt;/p&gt;
  790.  
  791.  
  792.  
  793. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570637&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 779px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/fce8ee48-d081-4dba-8a90-3a50a77be6d5.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=769&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570637&quot; width=&quot;769&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Mayor Anne Hidalgo insists the River Seine has been cleaned up and has vowed to swim in it&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Simon Jones&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  794.  
  795.  
  796.  
  797. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/politics/&quot;&gt;politics&lt;/a&gt; student Mathilde, 19, is revolted by the idea of swimming in the Seine. &lt;/p&gt;
  798.  
  799.  
  800.  
  801. &lt;p&gt;“No Parisian would ever go into the river,” she revealed. &lt;/p&gt;
  802.  
  803.  
  804.  
  805. &lt;p&gt;“Actually, I had a friend who once did and he got a bad infection.”&lt;/p&gt;
  806.  
  807.  
  808.  
  809. &lt;p&gt;But at Paris’s city hall this week, Mayor Anne Hidalgo told me the Seine clean-up work “is done”. &lt;/p&gt;
  810.  
  811.  
  812.  
  813. &lt;p&gt;The Socialist Party politician, 64, insisted she will prove it in June by taking to the water herself.&lt;/p&gt;
  814.  
  815.  
  816.  
  817. &lt;p&gt;She said: “I want to be the first mayor to swim in the Seine. &lt;/p&gt;
  818.  
  819.  
  820.  
  821. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Many people ask me, ‘Is it real, you want to swim in the Seine?’ I say, ‘Yes’ because it’s essential for us. For the people it will be a revolution.”&lt;/p&gt;
  822.  
  823.  
  824.  
  825. &lt;p&gt;Macron has also vowed to take a dip in the river before the Games, although seeing him in budgie smugglers might not be many’s idea of Olympic viewing.&lt;/p&gt;
  826.  
  827.  
  828.  
  829. &lt;p&gt;Paris expects around 15.3million visitors, 15,000 athletes and 34,000 journalists, and many fear the city will be clogged.&lt;/p&gt;
  830.  
  831.  
  832.  
  833. &lt;p&gt;Engineer Remi Liederman, 24, said: “The transportation system will be over-saturated. I don’t think it’s fit for that many people.”&lt;/p&gt;
  834.  
  835.  
  836.  
  837. &lt;p&gt;Unions here also threaten chaos during the Olympics, and France are gold medallists at protesting and striking. &lt;/p&gt;
  838.  
  839.  
  840.  
  841. &lt;p&gt;“Anger is growing, and the Olympics will be the perfect time to express it,” said trade unionist Gilles Arnault. &lt;/p&gt;
  842.  
  843.  
  844.  
  845. &lt;p&gt;“The eyes of the world will be on Paris, and it will be a time to make a point.”&lt;/p&gt;
  846.  
  847.  
  848.  
  849. &lt;p&gt;Last year binmen went on strike, leaving 200ft mounds of rubbish.&lt;/p&gt;
  850.  
  851.  
  852.  
  853. &lt;p&gt;And there are fears a bed bug infestation that plagued the city until late 2023 could return.&lt;/p&gt;
  854.  
  855.  
  856.  
  857. &lt;p&gt;In Place de la Concorde, Serena Skinner has had her home treated for the insects. &lt;/p&gt;
  858.  
  859.  
  860.  
  861. &lt;p&gt;The dancer, 23, said a pest controller told her “one person in five has bed bugs and doesn’t know it”.&lt;/p&gt;
  862.  
  863.  
  864.  
  865. &lt;p&gt;Serena is not keen on the QR security codes, describing it as “dystopian”. &lt;/p&gt;
  866.  
  867.  
  868.  
  869. &lt;p&gt;So what will she be doing as the Games reach their track-and-field climax in August?&lt;/p&gt;
  870.  
  871.  
  872.  
  873. &lt;p&gt;Like many seemingly unmoved by Macron’s extravagant Olympic dream, she will be holidaying far away from the teeming streets of Paris.&lt;/p&gt;
  874.  
  875.  
  876.

  896. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MUSIC fans heading by car to the UK venues where Taylor Swift is set to perform this summer have been warned to stay vigilant.&lt;/p&gt;
  897.  
  898.  
  899.  
  900. &lt;p&gt;Motor experts revealed which of four UK venues Swifties will need to be the most cautious around.&lt;/p&gt;
  901.  
  902.  
  903.  
  904. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570058&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/editorial-use-no-book-covers-875477925.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570058&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Taylor Swift performs onstage in Sao Paulo, Brazil during her Eras Tour[/caption]
  905.  
  906.  
  907.  
  908. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570063&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cwpr6a-aerial-view-wembley-stadium-896962253.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570063&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;706&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Wembley Stadium is predicted to be the most dangerous of all of the UK venues where Swift will be performing this summer[/caption]
  909.  
  910.  
  911.  
  912. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570068&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/appearing-metadata-photo-david-gray-894376492_b61e82.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570068&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Swift will perform in London, Cardiff, Liverpool, and Edinburgh in the coming months[/caption]
  913.  
  914.  
  915.  
  916. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/taylor-swift/&quot;&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s Eras Tour is coming to four major cities in the UK this summer: Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, and London.&lt;/p&gt;
  917.  
  918.  
  919.  
  920. &lt;p&gt;The megapopstar will perform at Principality Stadium in Cardiff in June and at Wembley Stadium in June and August.&lt;/p&gt;
  921.  
  922.  
  923.  
  924. &lt;p&gt;Experts at Howden &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/insurance/&quot;&gt;Insurance&lt;/a&gt; said there are three car parks around Wembley Stadium which fans might like to use if they are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt; to see Swift, but all will be &amp;#8220;a hotspot for thieves&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  925.  
  926.  
  927.  
  928. &lt;p&gt;They warned Wembley Stadium, which has a venue capacity of 90,000 and where there are eight Swift shows planned, is the most dangerous area for unattended cars.&lt;/p&gt;
  929.  
  930.  
  931.  
  932. &lt;p&gt;Using Gov.co.uk car &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; data, the experts found that there are about 11 thefts for every 1,000 registered vehicles at car parks surrounding the stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
  933.  
  934.  
  935.  
  936. &lt;p&gt;Fans who are seeing Swift at Wembley may want to consider using the tube to get into central London, they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  937.  
  938.  
  939.  
  940. &lt;p&gt;Parking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/app/&quot;&gt;apps&lt;/a&gt; might offer a cheaper option but they can be risky &amp;#8211; depending on the security measures in the area.&lt;/p&gt;
  941.  
  942.  
  943.  
  944. &lt;p&gt;The second most dangerous area was said to be South &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196709/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;, where Swift will perform one show in Cardiff at the Principality Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
  945.  
  946.  
  947.  
  948. &lt;p&gt;Principality has a capacity of 74,500 and the region reports about four car thefts for every 1,000 registered vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;
  949.  
  950.  
  951.  
  952. &lt;p&gt;According to the venue&amp;#8217;s website, there are five car parks within a 20-minute walk of the stadium and fans are recommended to use the &amp;#8220;Park &amp;amp; Ride&amp;#8221; service for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1953536/cardiff-city/&quot;&gt;Cardiff City&lt;/a&gt; Stadium at Leckwith.&lt;/p&gt;

  973.  
  974.  
  975.  
  976. &lt;p&gt;The experts found that Merseyside &amp;#8211; where Swift will perform two shows at the Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, to crowds of more than 61,000 &amp;#8211; is the third most dangerous area of the four UK locations.&lt;/p&gt;
  977.  
  978.  
  979.  
  980. &lt;p&gt;The Liverpool FC website stated customers can park at Stanley Park on non-match days, but &amp;#8220;the LFC cannot guarantee the security of your vehicle and/or its contents&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  981.  
  982.  
  983.  
  984. &lt;p&gt;An insurance expert from Howden Insurance issued a warning to Swift fans who will be travelling longer distances on unfamiliar roads come summertime.&lt;/p&gt;
  985.  
  986.  
  987.  
  988. &lt;p&gt;The expert said: &amp;#8220;With the influx of fans storming to each area to have the night of their lives, personal safety can get overlooked in the feelings of excitement and adrenaline.&lt;/p&gt;
  989.  
  990.  
  991.  
  992. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;People must prioritise security by doing things like checking into &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hotels/&quot;&gt;hotels&lt;/a&gt; if staying the night so belongings aren&amp;#8217;t left in cars, and ensuring valuables like phones, IDs, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jewellery/&quot;&gt;jewellery&lt;/a&gt;, and tech are kept on their person.&lt;/p&gt;
  993.  
  994.  
  995.  
  996. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s worth considering using &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/public-transport/&quot;&gt;public transport&lt;/a&gt; when travelling to The Eras Tour, as this helps to reduce traffic congestion and leaves fewer opportunities for car thieves to ruin your evening.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1007. EXPERTS at Howden Insurance analysed car crime data reported by each UK police force where Taylor Swift will be performing this summer. &lt;/p&gt;
  1009. &lt;div&gt;
  1010. &lt;p&gt;These were the results:&lt;/p&gt;

  1060. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;I WONDER what would happen if we legalised theft from shops.&lt;/p&gt;
  1061.  
  1062.  
  1063.  
  1064. &lt;p&gt;What if we told criminals that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26149003/uk-adults-shoplift-supermarkets/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;shoplifting &lt;/a&gt;wasn’t really a problem after all and they could take what they wanted, not bother to pay and go on their merry way?&lt;/p&gt;
  1065.  
  1066.  
  1067.  
  1068. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570606&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2hgbjjp-retail-shoplifting-man-stealing-868389184.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570606&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Shoplifting isn’t a victimless crime &amp;#8211; we all suffer from paying higher prices to cover losses[/caption]
  1069.  
  1070.  
  1071.  
  1072. &lt;p&gt;Well, it turns out we don’t have to wonder any more. Because the latest official &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; statistics tell us exactly what happens when you turn a blind eye to crime. &lt;/p&gt;
  1073.  
  1074.  
  1075.  
  1076. &lt;p&gt;This won’t come as a shock to anyone with half a brain: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27003418/pubs-selling-stolen-goods-facebook-shoplifting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Shoplifting &lt;/a&gt;goes up! And not just by a bit. No, there’s been an explosion in thefts from shops to more than 430,000 crimes last year — that’s up more than a third in a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1077.  
  1078.  
  1079.  
  1080. &lt;p&gt;Even that figure is just a fraction of the true level as retailers say they don’t bother to report most shoplifting because they know the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; won’t do anything about it anyway. &lt;/p&gt;
  1081.  
  1082.  
  1083.  
  1084. &lt;p&gt;So what’s caused this massive upsurge in the crime? It’s simple: We legalised shoplifting in all but name a few years ago when the powers that be decided they’d no longer prosecute most thefts worth less than £200.&lt;/p&gt;
  1085.  
  1086.  
  1087.  
  1088. &lt;p&gt;And those they did bother with would face only a £70 fine sent through the post, as if stealing was nothing worse than parking on a double yellow line.&lt;/p&gt;
  1089.  
  1090.  
  1091.  
  1092. &lt;p&gt;This insane decision, store owners soon learned to their cost, led to thieves carefully stealing precisely £199 worth of goods to ensure no serious repercussions.&lt;/p&gt;
  1093.  
  1094.  
  1095.  
  1096. &lt;p&gt;Even if shoplifters pay the fine, they’re still £130 better off!&lt;/p&gt;
  1097.  
  1098.  
  1099.  
  1100. &lt;p&gt;Criminal masterminds they ain’t, but they’re not stupid either.&lt;br&gt;Anyone who shops regularly in their local high street will know this already.&lt;/p&gt;
  1101.  
  1102.  
  1103.  
  1104. &lt;p&gt;I’ve lost count of the times store owners and staff — from major &lt;span id=&quot;5ecc736a-dd2e-4b8e-aa1e-54734945a501&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/span&gt; chains to a family-run greetings card shop — have complained to me about the police failing to tackle shoplifters.&lt;/p&gt;
  1105.  
  1106.  
  1107.  
  1108. &lt;p&gt;The shop staff know exactly who the shoplifters are and have CCTV footage of their crimes, yet the police rarely turn up and, even if they do, and a repeat offender is prosecuted and convicted, the prisons are full so they just get a slap on the wrist. So what’s the point?&lt;/p&gt;

  1129.  
  1130.  
  1131.  
  1132. &lt;p&gt;Staff now routinely stand guard by their locked shop doors at peak shoplifting hours and some say they’ll have to lock their doors for ever if police don’t act soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  1133.  
  1134.  
  1135.  
  1136. &lt;p&gt;We cannot carry on like this. &lt;/p&gt;
  1137.  
  1138.  
  1139.  
  1140. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Intimidation and threats&lt;/h2&gt;
  1141.  
  1142.  
  1143.  
  1144. &lt;p&gt;For far too long, shoplifting has been seen as a low-level misdemeanour carried out by people down on their luck who should be pitied not prosecuted.&lt;/p&gt;
  1145.  
  1146.  
  1147.  
  1148. &lt;p&gt;London Mayor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sadiq-khan/&quot;&gt;Sadiq Khan&lt;/a&gt; played into this false narrative when he claimed this week that if he saw someone stealing nappies, he’d step in to pay for them.&lt;/p&gt;
  1149.  
  1150.  
  1151.  
  1152. &lt;p&gt;But it’s not desperate mums who are &lt;span id=&quot;e6831c87-7c63-4766-b762-f2a9b624de0d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/span&gt; this crime spree; it’s often organised criminal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gangs/&quot;&gt;gangs&lt;/a&gt; stealing items to order, while intimidation and threats of violence to staff are now commonplace too. &lt;/p&gt;
  1153.  
  1154.  
  1155.  
  1156. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570607&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/biggest-single-intervention-tackle-rough-894362217.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570607&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;London Mayor Sadiq Khan claimed this week that if he saw someone stealing nappies, he’d step in to pay for them[/caption]
  1157.  
  1158.  
  1159.  
  1160. &lt;p&gt;A 6ft burly store security guard told me that even he won’t physically tackle a shoplifter because he knows he’ll get charged with assault.&lt;/p&gt;
  1161.  
  1162.  
  1163.  
  1164. &lt;p&gt;Shoplifting isn’t a victimless crime — and the victims aren’t limited to only the shopkeepers and the customers paying higher prices to cover the losses from theft.&lt;/p&gt;
  1165.  
  1166.  
  1167.  
  1168. &lt;p&gt;Our local communities are also a &lt;span id=&quot;e4baffc0-3ed5-4152-95f4-77dafd3c7dcb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;casualty&lt;/span&gt;. When criminals run rampant, when our high streets don’t feel safe and when store keepers pull the shutters down for the final time, the bustling hub of our communities will die and we will all lose out.&lt;/p&gt;
  1169.  
  1170.  
  1171.  
  1172. &lt;p&gt;Shoplifting is just as much of a crime whether it’s a diamond necklace or a pint of milk.&lt;/p&gt;
  1173.  
  1174.  
  1175.  
  1176. &lt;p&gt;The message must go out loud and clear from our politicians, our police and our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;courts&lt;/a&gt; that crime does NOT pay.&lt;/p&gt;
  1177.  
  1178.  
  1179.  
  1180. &lt;p&gt;If they don’t act now to restore &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; and order to our high streets, we will ALL end up paying.&lt;/p&gt;
  1181.

  1191. &lt;div&gt;
  1192. &lt;p&gt;THE Rwanda policy has seemingly already had a surprising impact.&lt;/p&gt;
  1193. &lt;p&gt;Faced with the threat of deportation to Africa, it is claimed some Channel migrants are instead heading to Ireland – and Irish ministers are not happy.&lt;/p&gt;
  1194. &lt;p&gt;Oh dear. Perhaps if Irish PM Simon Harris asks the French to help, President Macron might finally Stop The Boats.&lt;/p&gt;
  1195. &lt;p&gt;Instead, the gendarmes of Calais happily sit munching on their croissants as they watch people smugglers pile migrants on to dinghies.&lt;/p&gt;
  1196. &lt;p&gt;There’s a simple solution that would end this madness in a few short weeks: The French must agree to take all intercepted Channel migrants back to their shores. Who would pay £3,000 to get on a dinghy only to be returned to the same Calais beach a day later? Non, merci!&lt;/p&gt;
  1197. &lt;p&gt;Macron knows that, but he prefers to punish us for Brexit. Let’s see if he’s happy to punish his fellow loyal EU members in Ireland too.&lt;/p&gt;
  1198. &lt;/div&gt;
  1199. &lt;/div&gt;

  1214.  
  1215.  
  1216.  
  1217. &lt;p&gt;NOT many of us can celebrate with a bash quite like Victoria Beckham’s glitzy 50th birthday party with A-list guests including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tom-cruise/&quot;&gt;Tom Cruise&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/salma-hayek/&quot;&gt;Salma Hayek&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1218.  
  1219.  
  1220.  
  1221. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-beckham/&quot;&gt;David Beckham&lt;/a&gt; even filmed a surprise Spice Girl reunion at his wife’s party, as Posh teamed up with Ginger, Baby, Sporty and Scary to blast out a tipsy rendition of their hit song “Stop”, singing “Stop right now, thank you very much”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1222.  
  1223.  
  1224.  
  1225. &lt;p&gt;It was gratifying to see Posh Spice celebrating her half century so happily and openly, including with guest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/eva-longoria/&quot;&gt;Eva Longoria&lt;/a&gt;. We’ve come a long way since female stars had to keep their age under wraps.&lt;/p&gt;

  1230.  
  1231.  
  1232.  
  1233. &lt;p&gt;These days, 50 is the start of a new lease of life. I’ll be celebrating my 56th birthday this week and I can still zig-a-zig-ah with the best of them.&lt;/p&gt;
  1234.  
  1235.  
  1236.  
  1237. &lt;p&gt;No, we 50-somethings won’t stop right now, thank you very much.&lt;/p&gt;

  1253. &lt;p&gt;CHILDREN in England will score worse GCSE exam results for years to come, a new report claims, thanks to the long legacy of school closures during Covid.&lt;/p&gt;
  1254. &lt;p&gt;The toll of lockdown measures on our children should come as no surprise to anyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  1255. &lt;p&gt;Many experts warned back in March 2020 that closing schools would be a disaster for children’s education as well as their physical and mental health. But they were ignored.&lt;/p&gt;
  1256. &lt;p&gt;We closed schools for longer than almost any other European nation. And it didn’t save a single life. Children under 16 in Sweden didn’t miss a day of lessons during the pandemic yet Sweden has had far fewer Covid deaths than us.&lt;/p&gt;
  1257. &lt;p&gt;The Covid Inquiry must stop asking who wrote rude WhatsApps about Boris Johnson and start asking the right questions about how much harm lockdowns did – or no lessons will be learned by our politicians either.&lt;/p&gt;
  1258. &lt;/div&gt;
  1259. &lt;/div&gt;
  1260. &lt;/div&gt;
  1262.  
  1263.

  1268.  
  1269. &lt;p&gt;ANGELA RAYNER came out fighting when she stood in for Keir Starmer at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pmqs/&quot;&gt;PMQs&lt;/a&gt; this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  1270.  
  1271.  
  1272.  
  1273. &lt;p&gt;She is known for her plain speaking, after labelling all Tories as “scum”. But this time she called the diminutive &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rishi-sunak/&quot;&gt;Rishi Sunak&lt;/a&gt; a “pint-sized loser”, to peals of laughter from Labour benches.&lt;/p&gt;
  1274.  
  1275.  
  1276.  
  1277. &lt;p&gt;If it’s OK to mock a man for being short, then is it also OK to insult someone for being bald, or fat or, in the Labour deputy leader’s case, ginger?&lt;/p&gt;
  1278.  
  1279.  
  1280.  
  1281. &lt;p&gt;Just imagine if a Tory minister called a Labour MP a “baldy loser” or a “fat loser” – our Angie would be up in arms!&lt;/p&gt;
  1282.  
  1283.

  1298. &lt;p&gt;It’s a very popular policy with voters, but I don’t have any faith that train services will improve – or that ticket prices will come down.&lt;/p&gt;
  1299. &lt;p&gt;With the current system, we have the worst of both worlds: Private companies facing no genuine competition and taking huge profits for poor services, along with huge taxpayer subsidies and government meddling.&lt;/p&gt;
  1300. &lt;p&gt;Even after national­is­ation, it will be the same trains on the same tracks, with the same staff and the same trade unions.&lt;/p&gt;
  1301. &lt;p&gt;I don’t care who runs the railways. I just want the trains to run on time and to not have to remortgage my home to pay for a ticket.&lt;/p&gt;
  1302. &lt;/div&gt;

  1316. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ARNE SLOT is close to becoming Liverpool&amp;#8217;s next manager with the Dutchman expected to complete a move soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  1317.  
  1318.  
  1319.  
  1320. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool and Feyenoord are said to have &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27570164/arne-slot-liverpool-new-manager-feyenoord-deal/&quot;&gt;agreed a compensation deal allowing Slot to move to Merseyside&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1321.  
  1322.  
  1323.  
  1324. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27516554&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/feyenoord-coach-arne-slot-dutch-894118291.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27516554&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Arne Slot watching on from the sidelines during the Eredivisie match between Fortuna Sittard and Feyenoord Rotterdam on April 14, 2024[/caption]
  1325.  
  1326.  
  1327.  
  1328. &lt;p&gt;With Jurgen &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27494826/liverpool-contact-arne-slot-amorim-shortlist-jurgen-klopp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Klopp&amp;#8217;s Anfield departure looming&lt;/a&gt;, here&amp;#8217;s everything you need to know about the Feyenoord coach.&lt;/p&gt;
  1329.  
  1330.  
  1331.  
  1332. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Who is Arne Slot?&lt;/h2&gt;
  1333.  
  1334.  
  1335.  
  1336. &lt;p&gt;Slot was born in Bergentheim, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/netherlands/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Netherlands&lt;/a&gt; on September 17, 1978, meaning he is currently 45 years of age.&lt;/p&gt;
  1337.  
  1338.  
  1339.  
  1340. &lt;p&gt;His playing career began in 1995 with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22032966/bram-van-polen-pec-zwolle-contract-clause-fans/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Zwolle&lt;/a&gt;, where he spent seven years in midfield and scored 50 goals in 164 appearances.&lt;/p&gt;
  1341.  
  1342.  
  1343.  
  1344. &lt;p&gt;Slot spent played for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18044773/man-city-owners-buy-nac-breda-holland/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;NAC Breda&lt;/a&gt; for five years and Sparta Rotterdam for three years, before returning to Zwolle.&lt;/p&gt;
  1345.  
  1346.  
  1347.  
  1348. &lt;p&gt;He scored over 100 goals in the course of his 18-year playing career.&lt;/p&gt;
  1349.  
  1350.  
  1351.  
  1352. &lt;p&gt;Slot became youth coach of Zwolle after retiring from the side as a player in 2013.&lt;/p&gt;
  1353.  
  1354.  
  1355.  
  1356. &lt;p&gt;In 2014, he was appointed as an assistant of Henk de Jong at Cambuur.&lt;/p&gt;
  1357.  
  1358.  
  1359.  
  1360. &lt;p&gt;The following year he became John van den Brom’s assistant at AZ Alkmaar, going on to succeed him as the club’s head coach in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  1361.  
  1362.  
  1363.  
  1364. &lt;p&gt;Slot made a fine start to the 19/20 season, picking up 19 points from his first eight games in charge.&lt;/p&gt;
  1365.  
  1366.  
  1367.  
  1368. &lt;p&gt;But the season was cancelled in April 2020 due to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/coronavirus/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Covid-19 pandemic&lt;/a&gt; — AZ were joint top with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1232664/ajax/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ajax&lt;/a&gt; on 56 points after 25 games.&lt;/p&gt;
  1369.  
  1370.  
  1371.  
  1372. &lt;p&gt;With AZ seventh in the league, he was sacked before Christmas in 2020 due to being in talks with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/3735481/feyenoord/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Feyenoord&lt;/a&gt;, where he took over as head coach soon after.&lt;/p&gt;
  1373.  
  1374.  
  1375.  
  1376. &lt;p&gt;In his first full season at Feyenoord, Slot reached the inaugural &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uefa-europa-conference-league/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Europa Conference League&lt;/a&gt; final, losing to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26292928/jose-mourinho-newcastle-manager-eddie-howe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;José Mourinho&lt;/a&gt;’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1250350/roma/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Roma&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1377.  
  1378.  
  1379.  
  1380. &lt;p&gt;Slot led Feyenoord to their first League title in six years the following season.&lt;/p&gt;
  1381.  
  1382.  
  1383.  
  1384. &lt;p&gt;He was heavily linked to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196652/tottenham-hotspur/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Spurs&lt;/a&gt; job at the beginning of the 23/24 season, but eventually opted to stay in the Netherlands.&lt;/p&gt;
  1385.  
  1386.  
  1387.  
  1388. &lt;p&gt;In April 2024, Slot won his second trophy with Feyenoord when they beat NEC in the final of the 2024 Dutch Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
  1389.  
  1390.  
  1391.  
  1392. &lt;p&gt;At the time of writing Feyenoord are second in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20232874/dutch-football-team-holland-netherlands-world-cup/&quot;&gt;Eredivisie&lt;/a&gt;, nine points behind PSV after 30 games.&lt;/p&gt;
  1393.  
  1394.  
  1395.  
  1396. &lt;p&gt;Slot is understood to be keen on taking charge at Anfield, just a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22472274/arne-slot-rejects-tottenham-stay-feyenoord-manager/&quot;&gt;year after snubbing Tottenham&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1397.  
  1398.  
  1399.  
  1400. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  1401. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  1402. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  1403. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s not only been a successful manager, he&amp;#8217;s also been hugely impressive with his playing style of very attack-minded, Pep Guardiola-style football&lt;/p&gt;
  1404. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;
  1405. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Marcel van der Kraan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit-meta&quot;&gt;Sky Sports&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;
  1406. &lt;/div&gt;
  1407. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1408. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  1410.  
  1411.  
  1412.  
  1413. &lt;p&gt;However, Feyenoord are reluctant to let Slot go and are demanding a tasty fee in return.&lt;/p&gt;
  1414.  
  1415.  
  1416.  
  1417. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool have been locked in talks with their Dutch counterparts, and on April 24 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27511890/liverpool-arne-slot-bid-feyenoord-rejected/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;offered £8million to release Slot from his contract&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1418.  
  1419.  
  1420.  
  1421. &lt;p&gt;However, this has been turned down by Feyenoord.&lt;/p&gt;
  1422.  
  1423.  
  1424.  
  1425. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Is Arne Slot married and does he have children?&lt;/h2&gt;
  1426.  
  1427.  
  1428.  
  1429. &lt;p&gt;Yes, Slot is married to his wife Miriam.&lt;/p&gt;
  1430.  
  1431.  
  1432.  
  1433. &lt;p&gt;The couple reportedly has children, but no details about them are available in the public domain.&lt;/p&gt;
  1434.  
  1435.  
  1436.  
  1437. &lt;p&gt;Slot is very private and prefers to keep his family&amp;#8217;s personal information out of the spotlight. &lt;/p&gt;
  1438.  
  1439.  
  1440.  
  1441. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What style of football does Arne Slot play?&lt;/h2&gt;
  1442.  
  1443.  
  1444.  
  1445. &lt;p&gt;Slot&amp;#8217;s management style encourages his teams to play &amp;#8220;sexy&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;attack-minded&amp;#8221; football.&lt;/p&gt;
  1446.  
  1447.  
  1448.  
  1449. &lt;p&gt;Dutch football journalist Marcel van der Kraan told&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky-sports/&quot;&gt;Sky Sports&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;He is the prime candidate for Liverpool.&lt;/p&gt;
  1450.  
  1451.  
  1452.  
  1453. &lt;p&gt;‘It was only a matter of time before another big English club would come knocking on the door.&lt;/p&gt;
  1454.  
  1455.  
  1456.  
  1457. &lt;p&gt;‘He&amp;#8217;s not only been a successful manager, he&amp;#8217;s also been hugely impressive with his playing style of very attack-minded, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Pep Guardiola&lt;/a&gt;-style football.&lt;/p&gt;
  1458.  
  1459.  
  1460.  
  1461. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t expect Feyenoord to stand in the way. They know he&amp;#8217;s a manager in demand but they will demand a big compensation fee. He has two years left on his contract that was a record deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  1462.  
  1463.  
  1464.  
  1465. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27517027&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/feyenoords-dutch-head-coach-arne-895878415.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27517027&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Arne Slot celebrating after his Feyenoord won the Dutch Cup final against NEC Nijmegen in Rotterdam on April 21, 2024[/caption]
  1466.  
  1467.  
  1468.  
  1469. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Never before in Dutch football has a team paid a manager such huge wages.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1470.  
  1471.  
  1472.  
  1473. &lt;p&gt;‘The players like him, the fans love him, the club love him — they won&amp;#8217;t want him to go.&lt;/p&gt;
  1474.  
  1475.  
  1476.  
  1477. &lt;p&gt;“Feyenoord have every right to demand a big fee as there is no clause in his contract which he renewed last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1478.  
  1479.  
  1480.  
  1481. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s been a successful coach and made Feyenoord champions playing crazy, sexy football.&lt;/p&gt;
  1482.  
  1483.  
  1484.  
  1485. &lt;p&gt;“It is sexy what this man brings on a football pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  1486.  
  1487.  
  1488.  
  1489. &lt;p&gt;“There&amp;#8217;s nothing more to win for him here. The next step for him is to enter a club in a big league and no league is bigger for the Dutch than the Premier League.&lt;/p&gt;
  1490.  
  1491.  
  1492.  
  1493. &lt;p&gt;“I will be surprised if Slot doesn&amp;#8217;t bite at this chance and become the manger of Liverpool next season.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1494.  
  1495.  
  1496.  
  1497. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Does Arne Slot speak English?&lt;/h2&gt;
  1498.  
  1499.  
  1500.  
  1501. &lt;p&gt;One of the reasons Slot is the preferred candidate to succeed Klopp at Liverpool is because he is great at communicating his footballing philosophy to his teams&amp;#8217; players.&lt;/p&gt;
  1502.  
  1503.  
  1504.  
  1505. &lt;p&gt;In such a successful side, he would certainly be expected to hit the ground running at Anfield if he does take over as manager.&lt;/p&gt;
  1506.  
  1507.  
  1508.  
  1509. &lt;p&gt;And in this respect he has an advantage over many other candidates from around the footballing world, as he already speaks English fluently.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  1527. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;FOR decades, the rich and famous have flocked to tiny Montenegro, on the shores of the Adriatic.&lt;/p&gt;
  1528.  
  1529.  
  1530.  
  1531. &lt;p&gt;But my tour guide Dusan tells me, the people here are more, “Del Boy and Rodney than &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/hollywood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hollywood&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/p&gt;

  1555. &lt;p&gt;A thousand miles from Del Boy’s Peckham, Montenegro is 80 per cent mountains.&lt;/p&gt;
  1556.  
  1557.

  1563. &lt;p&gt;There are also 117 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/beach/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;beaches&lt;/a&gt; and five national parks calling out for Brits to explore.&lt;/p&gt;
  1564.  
  1565.  
  1566.  
  1567. &lt;p&gt;Public transport isn’t great, but taxis and car rentals are cheap — and every road offers beautiful sea or mountain views.&lt;/p&gt;
  1568.  
  1569.  
  1570.  
  1571. &lt;p&gt;A drive through the coastal town of Kotor takes me to Lovcen National Park.&lt;/p&gt;
  1572.  
  1573.  
  1574.  
  1575. &lt;p&gt;Here, I join mesmerised tourists hitching a gondola on the country’s new cable car for an 11-minute, stomach-flipping ride.&lt;/p&gt;
  1576.  
  1577.  
  1578.  
  1579. &lt;p&gt;One of our group kept their eyes shut the whole time until we squealed at the sight of the Bay of Kotor. &lt;/p&gt;

  1602.  
  1603. &lt;p&gt;Then we were all glued to Lustica Bay and a slice of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/croatia/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Croatia&lt;/a&gt; further north.&lt;/p&gt;
  1604.  
  1605.  
  1606.  
  1607. &lt;p&gt;From the peak, I could see a giant M-shaped road etched into a distant mountainside.&lt;/p&gt;
  1608.  
  1609.  
  1610.  
  1611. &lt;p&gt;The story goes that the designer employed to build the motorway was sending a message to Queen Milena, who he was secretly in love with.&lt;/p&gt;
  1612.  
  1613.  
  1614.  
  1615. &lt;p&gt;She lived in Cetinje, nestled in the heartland of the ex-Yugoslavian country. &lt;/p&gt;
  1616.  
  1617.  
  1618.  
  1619. &lt;p&gt;Once the capital of Montenegro, it is now a shrine to the country’s turbulent history.&lt;/p&gt;
  1620.  
  1621.  
  1622.  
  1623. &lt;p&gt;It is also home to six museums, all within walking distance of each other and all packed with tales of destruction and regeneration by foreign rulers.&lt;/p&gt;
  1624.  
  1625.  
  1626.  
  1627. &lt;p&gt;Being there is like stepping back in time.&lt;/p&gt;
  1628.  
  1629.  
  1630.  
  1631. &lt;p&gt;Queen Milena’s ornate palace has been restored to how she once lived with King Nicholas and their 12 children before they were exiled in 1918.&lt;/p&gt;
  1632.  
  1633.  
  1634.  
  1635. &lt;p&gt;After their deaths, the couple’s remains were eventually brought home and are now buried in the Court Church near the Cetinje Monastery.&lt;/p&gt;
  1636.  
  1637.  
  1638.  
  1639. &lt;p&gt;At the opposite side of the national park, in the marble town of Perast, the Grand Heritage hotel has a large balcony which is the perfect spot to watch the sun going down over the Bay of Kotor.&lt;/p&gt;
  1640.  
  1641.  
  1642.  
  1643. &lt;p&gt;After 24 hours I was truly under Montenegro’s spell, but a lesson in traditional noodle-making is what got me fully immersed in the culture.&lt;/p&gt;
  1644.

  1652.  
  1653.  
  1654.  
  1655. &lt;p&gt;We ate our hand-rolled noodles with aubergine, baked in the best tomato sauce I’d ever tasted.&lt;/p&gt;
  1656.  
  1657.  
  1658.  
  1659. &lt;p&gt;It was accompanied by aromatic goat, cow and sheep’s cheese, and succulent veal baked for five hours in red wine.&lt;/p&gt;
  1660.  
  1661.  
  1662.  
  1663. &lt;p&gt;For a taste of wine with the meat, we ventured to Skadar Lake National Park and its Garnet Winery, where you can taste the indigenous grape that is only found here.&lt;/p&gt;
  1664.  
  1665.  
  1666.  
  1667. &lt;p&gt;Cured ham and three types of cheeses were washed down with a craft red, as owner Misko explained that his family have been making wine here for 13 generations.&lt;/p&gt;
  1668.  
  1669.  
  1670.  
  1671. &lt;p&gt;He told us that Montenegrin wine makes people smarter and calmer, and so I made sure to take home a few bottles.&lt;/p&gt;
  1672.  
  1673.  
  1674.  
  1675. &lt;p&gt;My hotel for this night was on Mamula Island, a 170-year-old fortress that once guarded the entrance to Boka Bay.&lt;/p&gt;
  1676.  
  1677.  
  1678.  
  1679. &lt;p&gt;And my room previously housed a cannon used to fire at enemy ships.&lt;/p&gt;
  1680.  
  1681.  
  1682.  
  1683. &lt;p&gt;The hotel certainly keeps alive the history of the island and of the prisoners who once lived and tried to escape from here.&lt;/p&gt;
  1684.  
  1685.  
  1686.  
  1687. &lt;p&gt;The 5* resort now operates with an army of people and features a helicopter pad, a world-class spa, gallery and 32 rooms overlooking the bay.&lt;/p&gt;
  1688.  
  1689.  
  1690.  
  1691. &lt;p&gt;Unsurprisingly, it comes with a hefty price tag too (£430 per night), but travellers can still dine at the restaurant or visit the gallery without staying here.&lt;/p&gt;
  1692.  
  1693.  
  1694.  
  1695. &lt;p&gt;For a fraction of the price, the Stara Carsija Hotel &amp;amp; Spa, back on the mainland, is just as comfortable and charming.&lt;/p&gt;
  1696.  
  1697.  
  1698.  
  1699. &lt;p&gt;And after guzzling all that Montenegrin wine, you might not even be able to tell the difference . . .&lt;/p&gt;

  1746. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;SHOPPERS have rushed to Aldi to celebrate the brand new flavour of a viral TikTok snack.&lt;/p&gt;
  1747.  
  1748.  
  1749.  
  1750. &lt;p&gt;Social media went wild when&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt; Aldi&lt;/a&gt; announced the arrival of the viral &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; snack Takis to its&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27501620/aldi-middle-aisle-bluey-toys-garden-lanterns/&quot;&gt; stores.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1751.  
  1752.  
  1753.  
  1754. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570580&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 690px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/tiktok-tuck-a-gem-product-896962535.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=680&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570580&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;773&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Aldi&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Social media went wild when Aldi announced the arrival of the viral TikTok snack Takis to its stores[/caption]
  1755.  
  1756.  
  1757.  
  1758. &lt;p&gt;TikTok star Dylans Review posted a clip about the new snack to hit Aldi. &lt;/p&gt;
  1759.  
  1760.  
  1761.  
  1762. &lt;p&gt;Dylan said: &amp;#8220;Aldi have launched another product. Let me show you what it is. This is a good one.&lt;/p&gt;
  1763.  
  1764.  
  1765.  
  1766. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They have only gone and launched Takis Fuego edition, for £3.49.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1767.  
  1768.  
  1769.  
  1770. &lt;p&gt;However, other TikTok users seemed to take exception to the price. One said; &amp;#8220;£3.49 blew my head off as much as the Takis did.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1771.  
  1772.  
  1773.  
  1774. &lt;p&gt;But other thought the price was competitive. Other retailers were said to be charging around £5 for the packs of snacks.&lt;/p&gt;
  1775.  
  1776.  
  1777.  
  1778. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for the retailer said: &amp;#8221; Takis, the hashtag for which has received over 8 billion views on TikTok, are known for their signature rolled shape and punchy flavour that has taken the world by storm. &lt;/p&gt;
  1779.  
  1780.  
  1781.  
  1782. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Available at £3.49 for a 180g pack, the brand-new Dragon Sweet Chilli Takis provide a combination of sweetness and chilli spice that promise to get the tastebuds tingling. In fact, social media users in the US are already calling them their ’favourite ones’.&lt;/p&gt;
  1783.  
  1784.  
  1785.  
  1786. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Shoppers looking to bag this viral sensation better not dragon their heels. As with all Aldi Specialbuys, once they’re gone they’re gone&lt;/p&gt;
  1787.  
  1788.  
  1789.  
  1790. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Takis Dragon Sweet Chilli and Volcano will be available in stores nationwide and online via Click and Collect on Sunday 28th April.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1791.  
  1792.  
  1793.  
  1794. &lt;p&gt;Fans are racing to the bargain supermarket to snap up the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27568066/bargain-supermarket-selling-lion-bar-dupe/&quot;&gt;Lion bar &lt;/a&gt;dupe which is &amp;#8220;better than the original&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  1819.

  1821.  
  1822. &lt;p&gt;Lion bar fans are thrilled to find out that they can swap their favourite treat for a lesser-known imitation to save up some money.&lt;/p&gt;

  1828.  
  1829.  
  1830. &lt;p&gt;A pack of 13 bars is selling at the bargain retailer for only £1.15 &amp;#8211; less than 8p per chocolate.&lt;/p&gt;

  1854. &lt;p&gt;In this tricky image, everyone can spot dozens of tennis balls across the photo but only ace’s can see the broken racket. &lt;/p&gt;

  1860.  
  1861.  
  1862. &lt;p&gt;As the world’s best tennis players battle it out at the 2024 Madrid Open, it’s time to test your puzzling skills in this optical illusion. &lt;/p&gt;
  1863.  
  1864.  
  1865.  
  1866. &lt;p&gt;Taking just a couple of minutes every day to do a mental puzzle has been found to have several health benefits, such as preventing cognitive decline in later age.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1867.  
  1868.  
  1869.  
  1870. &lt;p&gt;The illusion, created by Betway, calls on readers to find one broken tennis racket in a sea of green balls and dozens of multi-colored rackets. &lt;/p&gt;
  1871.  
  1872.  
  1873.  
  1874. &lt;p&gt;If you can find the one racket with broken strings, you may just have 20/20 vision.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1875.  
  1876.  
  1877.  
  1878. &lt;p&gt;How fast can you spot it?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1879.  
  1880.  
  1881.  
  1882. &lt;p&gt;If you need some help, look closely at the strings near the tennis balls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1883.  
  1884.  
  1885.  
  1886. &lt;p&gt;Still can’t find it?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1887.  
  1888.  
  1889.  
  1890. &lt;p&gt;Here’s another hint: the frame of the racket is green.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1891.  
  1892.  
  1893.  
  1894. &lt;p&gt;Keep reading to find the answer below.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1895.  
  1896.  
  1897.  
  1898. &lt;p&gt;But first, test your brain with another puzzling illusion. &lt;/p&gt;

  1923.  
  1924.  
  1925.  
  1926. &lt;p&gt;However, only those with a high IQ and top tier vision can see the hidden cat in less than five seconds.&lt;/p&gt;
  1927.  
  1928.  
  1929.  
  1930. &lt;p&gt;The furry feline’s fair colored fur makes it blend seamlessly into the background. &lt;/p&gt;
  1931.  
  1932.  
  1933.  
  1934. &lt;p&gt;Additionally, tall glasses, carafe and candlesticks provide some camouflage for the sweet kitten.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1935.  
  1936.  
  1937.

  1985. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;IT’S day two of my trip and I’m on my sixth course of dim sum.&lt;/p&gt;
  1986.  
  1987.  
  1988.  
  1989. &lt;p&gt;You’d think I’d be sick of it by now, but where better to sample the traditional &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/china/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chinese&lt;/a&gt; dish than &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/hong-kong/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hong Kong&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
  1990.  
  1991.  
  1992.  
  1993. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27549722&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/victoria-harbour-hong-kong-china-895339245.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27549722&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Hong Kong is more than just a stopover destination[/caption]
  1994.  
  1995.  
  1996.  
  1997. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27549853&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/dsc02664jpg-JS895340482-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27549853&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Don’t linger — even a small queue made it too crowded to stay on the busy streets&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  1998.  
  1999.  
  2000.  
  2001. &lt;p&gt;After all, it is home to some of the best dim sum restaurants in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  2002.  
  2003.  
  2004.  
  2005. &lt;p&gt;It also makes the perfect stopover destination between trips to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/australia/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/new-zealand/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;New Zealand.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2006.  
  2007.  
  2008.  
  2009. &lt;p&gt;It’s easy to get around — the Metro is simpler than the London Underground and you can even hop on a “ding ding,” one of the many double-decker trams.&lt;/p&gt;
  2010.  
  2011.  
  2012.  
  2013. &lt;p&gt;But I decided to stay on my own two feet with my stomach calling for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/food/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;foodie&lt;/a&gt; tour of the city.&lt;/p&gt;
  2014.  
  2015.  
  2016.  
  2017. &lt;p&gt;Following my daily shrimp dumplings and BBQ pork bun breakfast, I was told that sweets were a big part of Hong Kong culture.&lt;/p&gt;
  2018.  
  2019.  
  2020.  
  2021. &lt;p&gt;I was won over by a mango tofu pudding from a hole-in-the-wall restaurant, eagerly slurping up the sweet and silky dish.&lt;/p&gt;
  2022.  
  2023.  
  2024.  
  2025. &lt;p&gt;Hong Kong is also home to the famous egg waffle, also known as the bubble waffle in the UK, which is cooked in a griddle with spherical cells.&lt;/p&gt;
  2026.  
  2027.  
  2028.  
  2029. &lt;p&gt;I knew the fluffy, Earl Grey Tea-infused batter recipe from Mammy Pancake would not disappoint.&lt;/p&gt;
  2030.  
  2031.  
  2032.  
  2033. &lt;p&gt;And to wash it down, I had to try the famous milk tea, made from Ceylon black tea and condensed milk.&lt;/p&gt;
  2034.  
  2035.  
  2036.  
  2037. &lt;p&gt;Blink and you’ll miss Lan Fong Yuen, a tiny metal box which is the oldest existing milk tea shop in the city, dating back to 1952.&lt;/p&gt;

  2061. &lt;p&gt;Just don’t linger — even a small queue made it too crowded to stay on the busy street.&lt;/p&gt;
  2062.  
  2063.  
  2064.  
  2065. &lt;p&gt;Sipping my drink, I annoyed locals further by walking along with my head constantly looking up at the towering skyscrapers as I bumped into people.&lt;/p&gt;
  2066.  
  2067.  
  2068.  
  2069. &lt;p&gt;But even people who dislike &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;city&lt;/a&gt; life will be won over by Hong Kong, where 75 per cent of the territory consists of greenery and forest.&lt;/p&gt;
  2070.  
  2071.  
  2072.  
  2073. &lt;p&gt;Framing the city skyline are the mountains, home to the famous Victoria Peak, which you can access by tram for the best views.&lt;/p&gt;
  2074.  
  2075.  
  2076.  
  2077. &lt;p&gt;If you fancy a quieter hike, less than an hour from the city centre is Sai Kung, known as the “back garden of Hong Kong”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2078.  
  2079.  
  2080.  
  2081. &lt;p&gt;The region’s bright-blue waters and hiking trails, as well as the golden sandy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/beach/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;beaches&lt;/a&gt; surrounded by huge green slopes, made me feel like I was in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/hawaii/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hawaii&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2082.  
  2083.  
  2084.  
  2085. &lt;p&gt;I could have easily spent hours dipping my toes into the warm waters, with no one else on the beach apart from some large butterflies fluttering around, but I was soon dragged back to the city by my bubbly guide Virginia for a night out on the town.&lt;/p&gt;
  2086.  
  2087.  
  2088.  
  2089. &lt;p&gt;And I was spoilt for choice.&lt;/p&gt;
  2090.  
  2091.  
  2092.  
  2093. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Flavoured foam&lt;/h2&gt;
  2094.  
  2095.  
  2096.  
  2097. &lt;p&gt;One of the most famous spots is Ozone, the highest rooftop bar in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  2098.  
  2099.  
  2100.  
  2101. &lt;p&gt;On the 118th floor of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, 480metres above ground, it serves inventive cocktails with views over the city.&lt;/p&gt;
  2102.  
  2103.  
  2104.  
  2105. &lt;p&gt;Or there is the Quinary, named one of the best bars in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/asia/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Asia&lt;/a&gt; with cheeky bartenders and its famous Earl Grey Caviar Martini topped with towering, flavoured foam.&lt;/p&gt;
  2106.  
  2107.  
  2108.  
  2109. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27549769&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cropped-shot-young-asian-woman-895339454.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27549769&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Hong Kong is home to some of the best dim sum restaurants in the world[/caption]
  2110.  
  2111.  
  2112.  
  2113. &lt;p&gt;But my favourite was The Majestic Garden, discreetly tucked behind a restaurant in a shopping mall.&lt;/p&gt;
  2114.  
  2115.  
  2116.  
  2117. &lt;p&gt;The outdoor bar, surrounded by modern office blocks, serves cocktails with a Sichuan twist such as the Five-Five Sour, a mix of five spice seasoning, berries, egg white and pisco.&lt;/p&gt;
  2118.  
  2119.  
  2120.  
  2121. &lt;p&gt;After one cocktail too many, I stumbled on to the late-night Metro back to the hotel.&lt;/p&gt;
  2122.  
  2123.  
  2124.  
  2125. &lt;p&gt;You can stay in Hong Kong on a budget with rooms at the nearby Hilton less than £100 a night.&lt;/p&gt;
  2126.  
  2127.  
  2128.  
  2129. &lt;p&gt;However, if your funds allow, a stay in the country’s oldest hotel, The Peninsula, dating back to 1928, is a must.&lt;/p&gt;
  2130.  
  2131.  
  2132.  
  2133. &lt;p&gt;Dubbed the Grand Dame of the East, it certainly has all the glamour — think Rolls-Royce airport collections and amazing views over Victoria Harbour.&lt;/p&gt;
  2134.  
  2135.  
  2136.  
  2137. &lt;p&gt;The five-star brand recently opened a hotel in London, but a stay at the Hong Kong resort is a fraction of the price and it even has its own Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant, Spring Moon.&lt;/p&gt;
  2138.  
  2139.  
  2140.  
  2141. &lt;p&gt;The hotel is popular with day visitors for its afternoon tea, accompanied by a live band.&lt;/p&gt;
  2142.  
  2143.  
  2144.  
  2145. &lt;p&gt;I’ll have sum more of that!&lt;/p&gt;
  2146.  
  2147.

  2235. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;WITH fashion royalty Vivienne Westwood for a mum, it is no surprise that Joseph Corre made his mark in the industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  2236.  
  2237.  
  2238.  
  2239. &lt;p&gt;As co-founder of rebellious lingerie brand Agent Provocateur, the 56-year-old has helped transform what women aspire to when it comes to underwear.&lt;/p&gt;
  2240.  
  2241.  
  2242.  
  2243. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569677&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/glamorous-bold-beautiful-winking-rule-186563048.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569677&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;674&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Agent Provocateur&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Vivienne Westwood&amp;#8217;s son, Joseph Corre, is co-founder of rebellious lingerie brand Agent Provocateur[/caption]

  2248.  
  2249.  
  2250.  
  2251. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569685&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 604px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/5bf3bc74-4047-4c39-9897-17b5bd985efb.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=594&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569685&quot; width=&quot;594&quot; height=&quot;391&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;In 1994 when Joseph launched Agent Provocateur&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Nils Jorgensen&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  2252.  
  2253.  
  2254.  
  2255. &lt;p&gt;He was spurred into action after being unimpressed with the drab knickers being flogged in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;London’s&lt;/a&gt; high streets.&lt;/p&gt;
  2256.  
  2257.  
  2258.  
  2259. &lt;p&gt;So in 1994, he and then-wife Serena Rees launched their first boudoir-style shop in the heart of Soho, an area with a reputation for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sex&lt;/a&gt; and scandal that was the perfect backdrop for their daring designs.&lt;/p&gt;
  2260.  
  2261.  
  2262.  
  2263. &lt;p&gt;As the luxury brand celebrates its 30th birthday, women across the globe will pay homage to its iconic undies.&lt;/p&gt;
  2264.  
  2265.  
  2266.  
  2267. &lt;p&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/models/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;supermodels&lt;/a&gt; to Z-list wannabes, everyone wanted to be snapped in a pair of AP knickers — after a little help from Britain’s favourite paper.&lt;/p&gt;
  2268.  
  2269.  
  2270.  
  2271. &lt;p&gt;“The Sun made us famous,” AP’s creative director Sarah Shotton told me at a Killing Kittens event at the Soho store.&lt;/p&gt;
  2272.  
  2273.  
  2274.  
  2275. &lt;p&gt;“&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-price/#:~:text=Katie%20has%20five%20children%3A%20her,Carl%20Woods%20until%20their%20split.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Katie Price&lt;/a&gt; was always getting snapped out and about in our undies and getting on the front pages of the paper.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2276.  
  2277.  
  2278.  
  2279. &lt;p&gt;From the start, AP’s designs were a statement of power, success and seduction.&lt;/p&gt;
  2280.  
  2281.  
  2282.  
  2283. &lt;p&gt;Sarah said in another interview: “Agent Provocateur has always been about the woman being in control.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2284.  
  2285.  
  2286.  
  2287. &lt;p&gt;Over the years the retailer’s risqué shoots have featured supermodels &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-moss/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kate Moss&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/naomi-campbell/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Naomi Campbell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/daisy-lowe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Daisy Lowe&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/abbey-clancy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Abbey Clancy&lt;/a&gt; — and have stirred up some controversy.&lt;/p&gt;
  2288.  
  2289.  
  2290.  
  2291. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Screaming in ecstasy&lt;/h2&gt;
  2292.  
  2293.  
  2294.  
  2295. &lt;p&gt;“You have to shake things up a bit, even if it means offending the odd customer,” founder Joseph previously said.&lt;/p&gt;
  2296.  
  2297.  
  2298.  
  2299. &lt;p&gt;“I mean, what’s the bloody point if you don’t offend somebody?”&lt;/p&gt;

  2320.  
  2321.  
  2322.  
  2323. &lt;p&gt;In 2001, a saucy ad featuring &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kylie-minogue/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kylie Minogue&lt;/a&gt; was deemed too sexual for telly and banned.&lt;/p&gt;
  2324.  
  2325.  
  2326.  
  2327. &lt;p&gt;In the X-rated video, the pop star rides a red velvet mechanical bull in lacy stockings and suspenders while screaming in ecstasy.&lt;/p&gt;
  2328.  
  2329.  
  2330.  
  2331. &lt;p&gt;“Will all the men stand up?” Kylie asks at the end of the video, before calling the brand “the world’s most erotic lingerie”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2332.  
  2333.  
  2334.  
  2335. &lt;p&gt;It went on to be one of the most viewed videos of all time online.&lt;/p&gt;
  2336.  
  2337.  
  2338.  
  2339. &lt;p&gt;A decade later, AP found itself in trouble again.&lt;/p&gt;
  2340.  
  2341.  
  2342.  
  2343. &lt;p&gt;A 2012 advert showed models in peephole bras and suspenders “kidnapping” a woman.&lt;/p&gt;
  2344.  
  2345.  
  2346.  
  2347. &lt;p&gt;With pounding music, the woman runs in a desperate bid to escape the intruders, before being converted by the models and emerging in a sexy ivory underwear set.&lt;/p&gt;
  2348.  
  2349.  
  2350.  
  2351. &lt;p&gt;The two-minute video to promote the brand’s Soiree Gold collection was deemed “misogynistic and disturbing” by one complainant.&lt;/p&gt;
  2352.  
  2353.  
  2354.  
  2355. &lt;p&gt;But the Advertising Standards Authority cleared it to be aired.&lt;/p&gt;
  2356.  
  2357.  
  2358.  
  2359. &lt;p&gt;The controversies did not seem to bother Joseph, who, by his own admission, is “not your average businessman”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2360.  
  2361.  
  2362.  
  2363. &lt;p&gt;His late dad Malcolm McLaren managed the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sex-pistols/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sex Pistols&lt;/a&gt;, and Joseph reportedly threw a punch at the father of the bride at Blur bassist Alex James’s wedding.&lt;/p&gt;
  2364.  
  2365.  
  2366.  
  2367. &lt;p&gt;“The so-called rules of business have always sounded like a load of old crap to me,” he shrugged in one interview.&lt;/p&gt;
  2368.  
  2369.  
  2370.  
  2371. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569711&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/kate-moss-new-face-lingerie-237766107.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569711&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;715&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Agent Provocateur&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Kate Moss as the face of the lingerie company[/caption]

  2376.  
  2377.  
  2378.  
  2379. &lt;p&gt;After its launch in 1994, Agent Provocateur quickly became known for epitomising a particular brand of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/feminism/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;feminism&lt;/a&gt;, where women reclaim authority by embracing symbols previously used to objectify them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2380.  
  2381.  
  2382.  
  2383. &lt;p&gt;As Joseph once put it: “Agent Provocateur is about an attitude, about empowerment.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2384.  
  2385.  
  2386.  
  2387. &lt;p&gt;And the glamorous Agents who work in the brand’s shops have to embody those values.&lt;/p&gt;
  2388.  
  2389.  
  2390.  
  2391. &lt;p&gt;They were “like a big girl gang”, according to Denna Cartamkhoob, who worked at the Soho store in the Nineties and later made a film, Rising From The Gusset, about her experiences.&lt;/p&gt;
  2392.  
  2393.  
  2394.  
  2395. &lt;p&gt;She said: “They are all unashamedly open about sex and being promiscuous and manipulative with their sexuality, like in terms of selling expensive underwear and getting money out of men.&lt;/p&gt;
  2396.

  2399. &lt;p&gt;“Day to day there was just so much humour, but overall it was this amazing education in people — what they got up to and what they didn’t want their wives to know.&lt;/p&gt;
  2400.  
  2401.  
  2402.  
  2403. &lt;p&gt;“I saw the most vulnerable sides of people, too. &lt;/p&gt;
  2404.  
  2405.  
  2406.  
  2407. &lt;p&gt;“The experience was formative for me, it gave me a lot of wisdom, which education and life hadn’t given me.”&lt;/p&gt;

  2411. &lt;p&gt;Singer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paloma-faith/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Paloma Faith&lt;/a&gt; is another former Agent who has spoken about the confidence she gained from working at AP’s Soho store in the early Noughties.&lt;/p&gt;

  2428. &lt;p&gt;The Brit Award winner went on to be the face of an AP campaign, posing in lingerie in sultry snaps.&lt;/p&gt;
  2429.  
  2430.  
  2431.  
  2432. &lt;p&gt;Recalling her shop days, Paloma, 42, once said: “It was more than just underwear for me. &lt;/p&gt;
  2433.  
  2434.  
  2435.  
  2436. &lt;p&gt;“When I first came here it represented something about independence to me, and something about female empowerment.&lt;/p&gt;
  2437.  
  2438.  
  2439.  
  2440. &lt;p&gt;“I found it really inspiring and it definitely was a catalyst for a lot of my work after that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2441.  
  2442.  
  2443.  
  2444. &lt;p&gt;The Agents working in the boutiques wear pink uniforms designed by the late &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/vivienne-westwood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Vivienne Westwood&lt;/a&gt; that creative director Sarah says “became a bit of an icon in itself”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2445.  
  2446.  
  2447.  
  2448. &lt;p&gt;She added: “Women couldn’t get enough of the brand and men couldn’t stop buying it for their girlfriends and wives. &lt;/p&gt;
  2449.  
  2450.  
  2451.  
  2452. &lt;p&gt;“If you receive a pink Agent Provocateur box, you know your partner has excellent taste in lingerie.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2453.  
  2454.  
  2455.  
  2456. &lt;p&gt;Following the success of the Soho store, AP expanded, opening its first shop in America in 2000.&lt;/p&gt;
  2457.  
  2458.  
  2459.  
  2460. &lt;p&gt;In 2006, nine shops opened across Europe and America.&lt;/p&gt;
  2461.  
  2462.  
  2463.  
  2464. &lt;p&gt;Another ten followed in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
  2465.

  2469.  
  2470.  
  2471.  
  2472. &lt;p&gt;In 2017, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/beyonce/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Beyonce&lt;/a&gt; revealed her pregnancy with twins while wearing a burgundy Agent Provocateur bra in an iconic pregnancy shoot.&lt;/p&gt;
  2473.  
  2474.  
  2475.  
  2476. &lt;p&gt;And one of the brand’s Noughties ads, set in a forest, depicted a world where “women are bold, fearless and liberated and men enslaved to attend to their every whim”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2477.  
  2478.  
  2479.  
  2480. &lt;p&gt;In the advert, supermodel Karen Elson wears ribbed white suspenders and is seen subduing a knight.&lt;/p&gt;
  2481.  
  2482.  
  2483.  
  2484. &lt;p&gt;In another scene, the model pins a hapless man to the floor with her stilettos while she is crowned with a thorn wreath.&lt;/p&gt;
  2485.  
  2486.  
  2487.  
  2488. &lt;p&gt;By the mid-Noughties, Agent Provocateur had cemented its position as the risqué retailer for high-end lingerie and sexy products such as masks, massage oils, whips and nipple tassels.&lt;/p&gt;

  2500. &lt;p&gt;Joseph and Serena were both awarded MBEs for their services to the fashion industry in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
  2501.  
  2502.  
  2503.  
  2504. &lt;p&gt;But Joseph rejected his, accusing then-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tony-blair/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Prime Minister Tony Blair&lt;/a&gt; of being “morally corrupt”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2505.  
  2506.  
  2507.  
  2508. &lt;p&gt;He and Serena split in 2007 after she left him for punk legend Paul Simonon, one-time bassist for the Clash.&lt;/p&gt;
  2509.  
  2510.  
  2511.  
  2512. &lt;p&gt;Soon after, private equity company 3i Group snapped up AP for a reported £60million.&lt;/p&gt;
  2513.  
  2514.  
  2515.  
  2516. &lt;p&gt;The former couple retained a share of the business, though Serena left the company.&lt;/p&gt;
  2517.  
  2518.  
  2519.  
  2520. &lt;p&gt;Joseph stayed on as a creative director before quitting in 2009 to focus on music and his menswear label Child Of The Jago.&lt;/p&gt;
  2521.  
  2522.  
  2523.  
  2524. &lt;p&gt;Agent Provocateur weathered the 2009 recession, reporting an eight per cent rise in sales, with dozens of stores in 14 countries.&lt;/p&gt;
  2525.  
  2526.  
  2527.  
  2528. &lt;p&gt;But over the next decade it was plagued with financial struggles amid a slowdown in luxury high street spending.&lt;/p&gt;
  2529.  
  2530.  
  2531.  
  2532. &lt;p&gt;In 2014 3i Group tried to offload its stake for £250million but no buyer was found.&lt;/p&gt;
  2533.  
  2534.  
  2535.  
  2536. &lt;p&gt;Two years later 3i admitted it had been forced to write down the value of the business by £39million.&lt;/p&gt;

  2553. &lt;p&gt;In 2017, the firm entered administration and was snapped up by Sports Direct owner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mike-ashley/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mike Ashley’s&lt;/a&gt; firm Four Holdings for around £25million.&lt;/p&gt;
  2554.  
  2555.  
  2556.  
  2557. &lt;p&gt;The controversial entrepreneur came under fire for allowing the firm to continue sales in three stores in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/russia/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Russia&lt;/a&gt; despite its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ukraine-war/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;invasion of Ukraine.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2558.  
  2559.  
  2560.  
  2561. &lt;p&gt;Yet, despite the ups and downs, AP has maintained its reputation as a rebellious, sexually empowering female brand.&lt;/p&gt;
  2562.  
  2563.  
  2564.  
  2565. &lt;p&gt;But the underwear does not come cheap.&lt;/p&gt;
  2566.  
  2567.  
  2568.  
  2569. &lt;p&gt;A basque will set you back well over £1,000 and the average price of a bra is a couple of hundred . . . plus.&lt;/p&gt;
  2570.  
  2571.  
  2572.  
  2573. &lt;p&gt;Beyonce wore the brand on her Renaissance World Tour last year, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/billie-eilish/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Billie Eilish&lt;/a&gt; put on garments for a recent Vogue cover.&lt;/p&gt;
  2574.  
  2575.  
  2576.  
  2577. &lt;p&gt;“It’s an amazing honour that so many incredible women wear Agent Provocateur,” said Sarah.&lt;/p&gt;
  2578.  
  2579.  
  2580.  
  2581. &lt;p&gt;“Ultimately, our dream AP woman is strong, intelligent and knows what they want. &lt;/p&gt;
  2582.  
  2583.  
  2584.  
  2585. &lt;p&gt;“We feel every woman has a bit of Agent Provocateur in her.”&lt;/p&gt;

  2635. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;STIFF and scratchy towels is something we all battle to avoid &amp;#8211; especially when we&amp;#8217;re not using the tumble dryer.&lt;/p&gt;
  2636.  
  2637.  
  2638.  
  2639. &lt;p&gt;Most materials are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/24010785/tested-supermarket-laundry-detergents-price-fairy-big-brands/&quot;&gt;easy to wash&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; but towels are another story &amp;#8211; especially when you want to keep them soft and fluffy.&lt;/p&gt;
  2640.  
  2641.  
  2642.  
  2643. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568534&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/closeup-early-30s-brunette-woman-889572876.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568534&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;One woman has found a way to keep towels fluffy[/caption]
  2644.  
  2645.  
  2646.  
  2647. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cleaning-hacks/&quot;&gt;cleaning &lt;/a&gt;whizz has shared a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot;&gt;hack &lt;/a&gt;to get them back to their best condition in just a single wash.&lt;/p&gt;
  2648.  
  2649.  
  2650.  
  2651. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s a couple of reasons as to why towels can become stiff and scratchy after washing them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2652.  
  2653.  
  2654.  
  2655. &lt;p&gt;The first is using too much detergent.&lt;/p&gt;
  2656.  
  2657.  
  2658.  
  2659. &lt;p&gt;Using too much makes it difficult for it all to rinse out in the wash cycle. &lt;/p&gt;
  2660.  
  2661.  
  2662.  
  2663. &lt;p&gt;This can then leave a residue on your towels that can make them stiff and scratchy. &lt;/p&gt;
  2664.  
  2665.  
  2666.  
  2667. &lt;p&gt;Another cause is not washing them frequently enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  2668.  
  2669.  
  2670.  
  2671. &lt;p&gt;Towels are designed to absorb water and they will do just that, even if it’s from the air around them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2672.

  2678. &lt;p&gt;The towels have definitely come out softer and fluffier&lt;/p&gt;

  2686.  
  2687.  
  2688. &lt;p&gt;But one cleaning whizz has shared how she strips her towels to make them soft again.&lt;/p&gt;
  2689.  
  2690.  
  2691.  
  2692. &lt;p&gt;Jenny Fuller took to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mrs-hinch/&quot;&gt;Mrs Hinch&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Cleaning&amp;nbsp;Tips &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; page to share her method and it&amp;#8217;s perfect for those who hate hte smell of vinegar.&lt;/p&gt;
  2693.  
  2694.  
  2695.  
  2696. &lt;p&gt;She said: “So, I finally got around to stripping my towels. It’s a mixture of one-quarter cup of borax and one-quarter cup of baking soda in hot water and leaving the clean towels in for a few hours to remove the residue build-up. &lt;/p&gt;

  2720. &lt;p&gt;“My towels are always so stiff and scratchy even though I’ve not used fabric conditioner on them for a couple of years, and now use vinegar for every towel wash.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2721.  
  2722.  
  2723.  
  2724. &lt;p&gt;Sharing a picture of the dirty water left behind from the clean towels, Jenny said: “Anyway, this is the colour of the water when I took the towels out. Again, these were white, clean towels when they went in.&lt;/p&gt;
  2725.  
  2726.  
  2727.  
  2728. &lt;p&gt;“The towels have definitely come out softer and fluffier. I’m planning to strip them once a month from now to try to keep them soft.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2729.  
  2730.  
  2731.  
  2732. &lt;p&gt;Adding baking soda to your towel wash helps remove soap and chemical residue that can end up covering your towels.&lt;/p&gt;
  2733.  
  2734.  
  2735.  
  2736. &lt;p&gt;Baking soda can be picked up for as little as 59p from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sainsburys/&quot;&gt;Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2737.

  2739.  
  2740. &lt;p&gt;Borax is banned in the UK, but substitutes can be purchased such as Dri-Pak Borax Substitute for £2.69 at Robert Dyas.&lt;/p&gt;
  2741.  
  2742.  
  2743.  
  2744. &lt;p&gt;Borax substitute has similar properties and a similar pH level to borax, which is why it makes for a good substitute.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2745.  
  2746.  
  2747.  
  2748. &lt;p&gt;It’s commonly used in cleaning because it is gentler than washing powder yet stronger than baking soda when it comes to removing stains.&lt;/p&gt;

  2797.

  2805.  
  2806.  
  2807.  
  2808. &lt;p&gt;But now &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alex-scott/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scott&lt;/a&gt; is set to pursue her other love &amp;#8211; music &amp;#8211; by becoming the host of KISS&amp;#8217; Sunday 7pm show.&lt;/p&gt;
  2809.  
  2810.

  2817.  
  2818.  
  2819.  
  2820. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m thrilled to be back with the KISS team and digging into my collection to share some more Old Skool anthems every Sunday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2821.

  2825.  
  2826.  
  2827.

  2841.  
  2842.  
  2843.  
  2844. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;I think, before, I was very walls up. All those walls have, like, come down.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2877. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;COPS are &amp;#8220;reviewing&amp;#8221; viral footage of a man who strangely bit a young boy&amp;#8217;s ear on live TV.&lt;/p&gt;
  2878.  
  2879.  
  2880.  
  2881. &lt;p&gt;During Thursday&amp;#8217;s coverage of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/snooker/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;World Snooker Championship&lt;/a&gt; the skin-crawling moment was caught on camera while seven-time world champion &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27482940/snooker-stephen-hendry-class-of-92-world-championship/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Stephen Hendry&lt;/a&gt; was speaking in a play break.&lt;/p&gt;
  2882.  
  2883.  
  2884.  
  2885. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570256&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/video-probe-cops-reviewing-viral-896970923.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570256&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;529&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Cops are reviewing viral footage of a man biting a boy&amp;#8217;s ear at the snooker&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  2886.

  2890.  
  2891.  
  2892.  
  2893. &lt;p&gt;The grown man seemingly whispers into the kid&amp;#8217;s ear before proceeding to nibble on his lobe at the event in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/sheffield/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sheffield&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2894.  
  2895.  
  2896.  
  2897. &lt;p&gt;Seconds later, the youngster waved to the camera &amp;#8211; capturing the attention of the adult &amp;#8211; who then pulled a silly face in what can only be believed as a bid to laugh off the incident. &lt;/p&gt;
  2898.  
  2899.  
  2900.  
  2901. &lt;p&gt;It is not clear what the relation between the two is.&lt;/p&gt;
  2902.

  2909. &lt;p&gt;The force said: &amp;#8220;Yesterday, Thursday 25 April at 9.20pm, we received a call to inform us of a video circulating on social media of a man and a boy at the Crucible in Sheffield.&lt;/p&gt;

  2922.  
  2923.  
  2924.  
  2925. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He even nibbled the child&amp;#8217;s ear then realised he was on film and shook his head like that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2926.

  2954. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ONE of the biggest carp in Britain has been caught by a female angler who spent 48 hours patiently stalking it.&lt;/p&gt;
  2955.  
  2956.  
  2957.  
  2958. &lt;p&gt;Naomi Turner landed the 72lb 12oz monster, nicknamed Pashleys, after changing tactics two days into her three-day session.&lt;/p&gt;
  2959.  
  2960.  
  2961.

  2971.  
  2972.  
  2973.  
  2974. &lt;p&gt;Naomi said: “It was the moment I’d been waiting and hoping for.&lt;/p&gt;
  2975.  
  2976.  
  2977.  
  2978. &lt;p&gt;“I’d wanted to catch Pashley for a while now but never in a million years did I actually think it would happen.&lt;/p&gt;
  2979.  
  2980.  
  2981.  
  2982. &lt;p&gt;“I am still buzzing and think I will be for a while.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2983.  
  2984.  
  2985.  
  2986. &lt;p&gt;Naomi landed the giant mirror at supercarp hotspot, Holme Fen Fishery, near Ely, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cambridgeshire/&quot;&gt;Cambs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2987.  
  2988.  
  2989.  
  2990. &lt;p&gt;She had been fishing in shallower waters for 48 hours but, with time running out, she upped sticks and tried her luck in deeper water.&lt;/p&gt;
  2991.  
  2992.  
  2993.  
  2994. &lt;p&gt;Within two hours, the fish took her bait.&lt;/p&gt;
  2995.  
  2996.  
  2997.  
  2998. &lt;p&gt;But it proved a tricky battle as it needed patiently steering out of a weedbed before using its giant weight to keep Naomi at bay.&lt;/p&gt;
  2999.  
  3000.  
  3001.  
  3002. &lt;p&gt;She said: “A moment of euphoria and utter excitement erupted as I realised what was finally in my landing net.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3003.  
  3004.  
  3005.  
  3006. &lt;p&gt;Her catch is heavier than the official &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18614877/boy-world-record-fish-96lbs/&quot;&gt;British mirror carp&lt;/a&gt; record of 68lb 1oz — but is unlikely to be recognised because of strict rules around feeding.&lt;/p&gt;

  3047. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;JEALOUSY, insecurity and competitiveness can plague playground pals.&lt;/p&gt;
  3048.  
  3049.  
  3050.  
  3051. &lt;p&gt;But as author Jane Green has found out…at 55 my female friendships are more toxic than in my teens&amp;#8230;and social media fuels the poison.&lt;/p&gt;
  3052.  
  3053.  
  3054.  
  3055. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568600&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NINTCHDBPICT000896942712_9022f3.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568600&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Author Jane Green says friendships are more toxic now than when she was a teen[/caption]
  3056.  
  3057.  
  3058.  
  3059. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568569&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/taken-without-permission-https-www-896697395.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568569&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;instagram/janegreenauthor&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Jane loves to post her lavish life online &amp;#8211; pictured her posing with a Rolling Stones print at a party[/caption]
  3060.  
  3061.  
  3062.  
  3063. &lt;p&gt;By the time I hit 55, I thought the jealousies and insecurities of female &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/friendships/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;friendships&lt;/a&gt; in early life – when we are still figuring out who we are – would have worked themselves out.&lt;/p&gt;
  3064.  
  3065.  
  3066.  
  3067. &lt;p&gt;But I’ve lost more close friends in the last few years than at any other point in my life.&lt;/p&gt;
  3068.  
  3069.  
  3070.  
  3071. &lt;p&gt;And the three I lost recently were all for the same reason — &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3072.  
  3073.  
  3074.  
  3075. &lt;p&gt;We often read about how social media is damaging the younger generation, but in my experience it can be toxic for adults, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  3076.  
  3077.  
  3078.  
  3079. &lt;p&gt;As an author, I have a social media following of roughly 150,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  3080.  
  3081.  
  3082.  
  3083. &lt;p&gt;It is the only way I have of marketing my books — and part of having any kind of public profile involves sharing aspects of your life.&lt;/p&gt;
  3084.  
  3085.  
  3086.  
  3087. &lt;p&gt;Despite spending much of my time at home, my &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; profile would have you believe I live a fabulously glamorous life, because of course I only show the interesting bits.&lt;/p&gt;
  3088.  
  3089.  
  3090.  
  3091. &lt;p&gt;I share those parts of my life — and often my innermost thoughts — to connect with my followers and inspire them to buy my books.&lt;/p&gt;
  3092.  
  3093.  
  3094.  
  3095. &lt;p&gt;However, I never expected to lose real friends as a consequence.&lt;/p&gt;
  3096.  
  3097.  
  3098.  
  3099. &lt;p&gt;The first was a woman I had considered one of my best pals for more than 15 years, and it was utterly devastating.&lt;/p&gt;

  3120.  
  3121.  
  3122.  
  3123. &lt;p&gt;She went from being a BFF (best friend for ever) to an NFF (now former friend).&lt;/p&gt;
  3124.  
  3125.  
  3126.  
  3127. &lt;p&gt;She was the one I confided in, the calm, wise port in any storm.&lt;/p&gt;
  3128.  
  3129.  
  3130.  
  3131. &lt;p&gt;But looking back, I can see our friendship had always felt troubled.&lt;/p&gt;
  3132.  
  3133.  
  3134.  
  3135. &lt;p&gt;We met through mutual friends, and had that instant click.&lt;/p&gt;
  3136.  
  3137.  
  3138.  
  3139. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;To compare is despair&lt;/h2&gt;
  3140.  
  3141.  
  3142.  
  3143. &lt;p&gt;The day we met, I went to her house for tea, and we didn’t stop talking for hours, amazed at how we shared so many similarities.&lt;/p&gt;
  3144.  
  3145.  
  3146.  
  3147. &lt;p&gt;She was a cook, an aspiring writer and, best of all, she lived around the corner.&lt;/p&gt;
  3148.  
  3149.  
  3150.  
  3151. &lt;p&gt;I’d show up at her kitchen table in my pyjamas, and she would do the same at mine.&lt;/p&gt;
  3152.  
  3153.  
  3154.  
  3155. &lt;p&gt;It felt like finding a sister.&lt;/p&gt;
  3156.  
  3157.  
  3158.  
  3159. &lt;p&gt;But after a few years, I started to sense a distance between us, a coldness in her.&lt;/p&gt;
  3160.  
  3161.  
  3162.  
  3163. &lt;p&gt;I didn’t understand why there were times when I couldn’t seem to get close to her.&lt;/p&gt;
  3164.  
  3165.  
  3166.  
  3167. &lt;p&gt;Often, she was warm and loving.&lt;/p&gt;
  3168.  
  3169.  
  3170.  
  3171. &lt;p&gt;Then she would act uninterested.&lt;/p&gt;
  3172.  
  3173.  
  3174.  
  3175. &lt;p&gt;I would run into her at a kids’ event — our children are the same age — and she would be cold or spend the entire time avoiding me.&lt;/p&gt;
  3176.  
  3177.  
  3178.  
  3179. &lt;p&gt;I’d watch her from across the room and had no idea what I had done.&lt;/p&gt;
  3180.  
  3181.  
  3182.  
  3183. &lt;p&gt;I would be hurt, but knowing that she didn’t like confrontation, I would wait it out, showing up at her house after a week or two, praying that whatever she was going through would have passed.&lt;/p&gt;
  3184.

  3192.  
  3193.  
  3194.  
  3195. &lt;p&gt;Sure enough, we would always bounce back.&lt;/p&gt;
  3196.  
  3197.  
  3198.  
  3199. &lt;p&gt;Other friends told me they had observed her being competitive with me, resentful of my success and colourful life.&lt;/p&gt;
  3200.  
  3201.  
  3202.  
  3203. &lt;p&gt;I hadn’t listened.&lt;/p&gt;
  3204.  
  3205.  
  3206.  
  3207. &lt;p&gt;I didn’t know that she was following my Instagram like a hawk, that she felt left out when I was at parties or events.&lt;/p&gt;
  3208.  
  3209.  
  3210.  
  3211. &lt;p&gt;It never occurred to me that she could be jealous.&lt;/p&gt;
  3212.  
  3213.  
  3214.  
  3215. &lt;p&gt;How could someone who professes to love you be resentful?&lt;/p&gt;
  3216.  
  3217.  
  3218.  
  3219. &lt;p&gt;It didn’t make sense to me.&lt;/p&gt;
  3220.  
  3221.  
  3222.  
  3223. &lt;p&gt;While we weren’t involved in each others’ social lives on a daily basis, she was the woman I considered my rock, the one I turned to when I needed to feel supported.&lt;/p&gt;
  3224.  
  3225.  
  3226.  
  3227. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;I do not compare&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  3228.  
  3229.  
  3230.  
  3231. &lt;p&gt;I am married with six children, and while husbands can be wonderful, they rarely see things in the same way as a female friend.&lt;/p&gt;
  3232.  
  3233.  
  3234.  
  3235. &lt;p&gt;She has many friends I do not know and I was rarely invited out with them. &lt;/p&gt;
  3236.  
  3237.  
  3238.  
  3239. &lt;p&gt;I have many, many character flaws, but jealousy isn’t one.&lt;/p&gt;
  3240.  
  3241.  
  3242.  
  3243. &lt;p&gt;I feel nothing other than delight when I see my friends having a good time on Instagram.&lt;/p&gt;
  3244.  
  3245.  
  3246.  
  3247. &lt;p&gt;I do not compare myself to other people.&lt;/p&gt;
  3248.  
  3249.  
  3250.  
  3251. &lt;p&gt;There will always be people who are more successful, more attractive, thinner, wealthier and have more glamorous lives, just as there will always be people who are less successful, who have smaller lives.&lt;/p&gt;
  3252.  
  3253.  
  3254.  
  3255. &lt;p&gt;I have always believed that to compare is despair.&lt;/p&gt;
  3256.  
  3257.  
  3258.  
  3259. &lt;p&gt;I am fine with not being invited to places because you cannot invite all the people all of the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  3260.  
  3261.  
  3262.  
  3263. &lt;p&gt;We would talk about this, and she would agree.&lt;/p&gt;
  3264.  
  3265.  
  3266.  
  3267. &lt;p&gt;I assumed she meant it.&lt;/p&gt;
  3268.  
  3269.  
  3270.  
  3271. &lt;p&gt;The University of Buffalo in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/new-york/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; recently did a study on longevity of relationships.&lt;/p&gt;
  3272.  
  3273.  
  3274.  
  3275. &lt;p&gt;Although they were studying marriages, I believe their findings apply equally to friendships.&lt;/p&gt;
  3276.  
  3277.  
  3278.  
  3279. &lt;p&gt;They found that the success of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/relationship-advice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;relationships&lt;/a&gt; is based on holding your partner in higher regard than they hold themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
  3280.  
  3281.  
  3282.  
  3283. &lt;p&gt;I find this moving, and true of all my close friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  3284.  
  3285.  
  3286.  
  3287. &lt;p&gt;Where they feel insecure or ill-equipped, I see them as strong and capable of so much more than they believe.&lt;/p&gt;
  3288.  
  3289.  
  3290.  
  3291. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  3292. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  3293. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  3294. &lt;p&gt;She burst into tears and confessed she had seen my Instagram feed and was jealous&lt;/p&gt;
  3295. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;
  3296. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Anna&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;
  3297. &lt;/div&gt;
  3298. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  3299. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  3301.  
  3302.  
  3303.  
  3304. &lt;p&gt;Last summer, after another bout of my friend seeming to be angry with me, I finally called her out on it.&lt;/p&gt;
  3305.  
  3306.  
  3307.  
  3308. &lt;p&gt;I had recently posted some pictures on Instagram of me out with a group of friends and consequently I’d felt that she had been off with me.&lt;/p&gt;
  3309.  
  3310.  
  3311.  
  3312. &lt;p&gt;After a couple of weeks she invited me for tea.&lt;/p&gt;
  3313.  
  3314.  
  3315.  
  3316. &lt;p&gt;I asked her what was going on and told her that if I had done anything to upset her, I would love to know and to apologise.&lt;/p&gt;
  3317.  
  3318.  
  3319.  
  3320. &lt;p&gt;She burst into tears and confessed she had seen my Instagram feed and was jealous.&lt;/p&gt;
  3321.  
  3322.  
  3323.  
  3324. &lt;p&gt;We hugged, and I attempted to reassure her of our friendship, but I left her house feeling uneasy.&lt;/p&gt;
  3325.  
  3326.  
  3327.  
  3328. &lt;p&gt;I don’t think she meant she was jealous, I think she meant she felt excluded.&lt;/p&gt;
  3329.  
  3330.  
  3331.  
  3332. &lt;p&gt;But the very fact she had used the word “jealous” got me thinking about all the years she had blown hot and cold.&lt;/p&gt;
  3333.  
  3334.  
  3335.  
  3336. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Red flags&lt;/h2&gt;
  3337.  
  3338.  
  3339.  
  3340. &lt;p&gt;I understood immediately that this friendship was doomed, for jealousy is a deal-breaker.&lt;/p&gt;
  3341.  
  3342.  
  3343.  
  3344. &lt;p&gt;When you are simply living your life, and you have a friend who is jealous, there is no fix for that.&lt;/p&gt;
  3345.  
  3346.  
  3347.  
  3348. &lt;p&gt;I knew that every time she looked at my social media she would not be happy for me.&lt;/p&gt;
  3349.  
  3350.  
  3351.  
  3352. &lt;p&gt;I thought I knew what red flags to look out for in friendships but I failed to recognise this one.&lt;/p&gt;
  3353.  
  3354.  
  3355.  
  3356. &lt;p&gt;I decided to withdraw quietly. We live in a small town.&lt;/p&gt;
  3357.  
  3358.  
  3359.  
  3360. &lt;p&gt;Our paths will undoubtedly cross.&lt;/p&gt;
  3361.  
  3362.  
  3363.  
  3364. &lt;p&gt;Recently, she blocked me on social media, which I think we’ll all agree is a “f*** you” if ever there was one. I have been left feeling tremendous grief at the loss of a friendship, which, however flawed, was part of the fabric of my life for 15 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  3365.  
  3366.  
  3367.  
  3368. &lt;p&gt;Since then, I have lost two more female friends, both of whom mentioned Instagram as the reason.&lt;/p&gt;
  3369.  
  3370.  
  3371.  
  3372. &lt;p&gt;One because I had posted an article I had written on friendship, and the newspaper in question had chosen not to use the photograph of her and me together.&lt;/p&gt;
  3373.  
  3374.  
  3375.  
  3376. &lt;p&gt;And another who wrote to me saying, “I continue to think we cannot understand each other through Instagram”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3377.  
  3378.  
  3379.  
  3380. &lt;p&gt;This was after a summer when all I had posted was me sitting in my garden.&lt;/p&gt;
  3381.  
  3382.  
  3383.  
  3384. &lt;p&gt;Even though I thought those friendships were real, jealousy, I have discovered, does not diminish with age.&lt;/p&gt;
  3385.  
  3386.  
  3387.  
  3388. &lt;p&gt;If anything, social media is guaranteed to fuel insecurity and jealousy.&lt;/p&gt;
  3389.  
  3390.  
  3391.  
  3392. &lt;p&gt;We are bombarded daily with images of people we know living “perfect lives”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3393.  
  3394.  
  3395.  
  3396. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568584&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/www-instagram-com-p-ct-896697387.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568584&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;instagram/janegreenauthor&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Jane dressed up for a wedding in the South of France[/caption]
  3397.  
  3398.  
  3399.  
  3400. &lt;p&gt;Anything can set off a jealous woman.&lt;/p&gt;
  3401.  
  3402.  
  3403.  
  3404. &lt;p&gt;A child getting into a good &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/universities/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;university&lt;/a&gt;? Jealous.&lt;/p&gt;
  3405.  
  3406.  
  3407.  
  3408. &lt;p&gt;Losing weight? Jealous.&lt;/p&gt;
  3409.  
  3410.  
  3411.  
  3412. &lt;p&gt;A great night out to which they weren’t invited? Jealous.&lt;/p&gt;
  3413.  
  3414.  
  3415.  
  3416. &lt;p&gt;A new relationship that makes you happy? Jealous.&lt;/p&gt;
  3417.  
  3418.  
  3419.  
  3420. &lt;p&gt;Even when we know our friends aren’t perfect, that their kids are struggling in school, that they are mortgaged to the hilt, many of us still choose to believe the Instagram version of their life.&lt;/p&gt;
  3421.  
  3422.  
  3423.  
  3424. &lt;p&gt;Then we stop opening up to them, convinced we aren’t good enough, that we are somehow “less than”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3425.  
  3426.  
  3427.  
  3428. &lt;p&gt;We hide our truths, and can, if we are not careful, become unutterably lonely.&lt;/p&gt;
  3429.  
  3430.  
  3431.  
  3432. &lt;p&gt;Grief is a strange thing.&lt;/p&gt;
  3433.  
  3434.  
  3435.  
  3436. &lt;p&gt;I know this will get better over time, and I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by a small number of soul sisters, women who know that success, abundance and happiness for others will only lead to good things for you; women who get no greater pleasure than raising their friends as high as they can.&lt;/p&gt;
  3437.  
  3438.  
  3439.  
  3440. &lt;p&gt;I thought the teenage years were the most difficult for navigating friendships.&lt;/p&gt;
  3441.  
  3442.  
  3443.  
  3444. &lt;p&gt;I thought I had weeded out those that were toxic and that by this stage of life it would be easy to recognise friendships that are bad for us — the women who are needy, or high maintenance, the women with two faces, the gossips.&lt;/p&gt;
  3445.  
  3446.  
  3447.  
  3448. &lt;p&gt;Perhaps my mistake was in thinking all friendships are supposed to last a lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;
  3449.  
  3450.  
  3451.  
  3452. &lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong, many of the female friendships I made in my 20s are as strong today as they ever were.&lt;/p&gt;
  3453.  
  3454.  
  3455.  
  3456. &lt;p&gt;But my newer friendships have been more fragile — and I blame social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  3457.  
  3458.  
  3459.  
  3460. &lt;p&gt;However much you think someone knows you, all it takes for a friendship to falter can be a photograph, a vision of a life that you think they know is flawed, but the photograph seems to overrule all that they should know is true.&lt;/p&gt;
  3461.  
  3462.  
  3463.  
  3464. &lt;p&gt;Learn from my mistakes.&lt;/p&gt;
  3465.  
  3466.  
  3467.  
  3468. &lt;p&gt;Keep an open heart and find the people who love you as much as you love them — and steer clear of their social media accounts.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  3485. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;YOBS attacking London’s Ulez cameras have run up a repair and replacement bill of up to £17million in a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3486.  
  3487.  
  3488.  
  3489. &lt;p&gt;Figures show the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Met &lt;span id=&quot;4cd7370a-9e60-4e97-ab98-3fa05a64a236&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;recorded 1,760 incidents of criminal damage or theft from April to February.&lt;/p&gt;
  3490.  
  3491.  
  3492.  
  3493. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27566818&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/68e5677e-7c7b-49bf-a7ee-2083fd5e83ed.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27566818&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;841&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Ulez cameras have been cut down, set on fire and even covered in paint by protesters&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Jeremy Selwyn&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  3494.  
  3495.  
  3496.  
  3497. &lt;p&gt;There are more than 3,400 cameras in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;, charging drivers of polluting vehicles £12.50 a time to enter the city.&lt;/p&gt;
  3498.  
  3499.  
  3500.  
  3501. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sadiq-khan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mayor Sadiq Khan&lt;/a&gt;’s un­popular scheme has led to 40 to 60 attacks a week, say insiders.&lt;/p&gt;
  3502.  
  3503.  
  3504.  
  3505. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ulez/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Each camera&lt;/a&gt; is believed to be worth £10,000 so the total cost to replace damaged ones would be £17.6million.&lt;/p&gt;
  3506.  
  3507.  
  3508.  
  3509. &lt;p&gt;Elliot Keck, at the TaxPayers’ Alliance, blasted: “While criminal damage is never acceptable, this is an unnecessary cost from a scheme designed to milk motorists dry. &lt;/p&gt;
  3510.  
  3511.  
  3512.  
  3513. &lt;p&gt;“The &lt;span id=&quot;f274902a-98e7-476d-96af-7080a0d641d5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; mayor should scrap this ruinous policy.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3514.  
  3515.  
  3516.  
  3517. &lt;p&gt;Of the 1,760 crimes, 320 were camera or equipment theft, 167 cameras or lenses being damaged, and 281 of kit set on fire.&lt;/p&gt;
  3518.  
  3519.  
  3520.  
  3521. &lt;p&gt;There were hundreds more reports of poles being damaged, or &lt;span id=&quot;5524ffbc-fa61-483f-bada-48871abd7023&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;power&lt;/span&gt; cables or camera doors being ripped out, plus 60 reports of cameras obscured with paint.&lt;/p&gt;
  3522.  
  3523.  
  3524.  
  3525. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/transport-for-london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;c0749d03-1924-4cca-94cb-c9e22bd70367&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Transport&lt;/span&gt; for London&lt;/a&gt; has hired security to protect engineers installing and fixing cams.&lt;/p&gt;
  3526.  
  3527.  
  3528.  
  3529. &lt;p&gt;It declined to reveal the true cost of repairing the cameras.&lt;/p&gt;
  3530.  
  3531.  
  3532.  
  3533. &lt;p&gt;A spokesman said: “Camera vandalism will not stop the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ulez/&quot;&gt;Ulez&lt;/a&gt; operating London-wide.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3568. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A LESBIAN has been removed from a same-sex birth certificate — because her partner secretly had sex with the sperm donor father.&lt;/p&gt;
  3569.  
  3570.  
  3571.  
  3572. &lt;p&gt;She was told by a judge she had no biological or other connection with the child and had no legal right to be listed as a parent on the document.&lt;/p&gt;
  3573.  
  3574.  
  3575.  
  3576. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27565987&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2ap4h33-medical-professional-places-samples-611028296.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27565987&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;A lesbian has been removed from a same-sex birth certificate — because her partner secretly had sex with the sperm donor father&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  3577.  
  3578.  
  3579.  
  3580. &lt;p&gt;The ruling came at the end of a bitter High &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; tussle which was described by the judge as a cautionary tale on the risks of informal arrangements for artificial insemination.&lt;/p&gt;
  3581.  
  3582.  
  3583.  
  3584. &lt;p&gt;In her ruling, Mrs Justice Gwynneth Knowles added: “The fallout from this couple’s separation has been devastating for each of them and for their named sperm donor.&lt;/p&gt;
  3585.  
  3586.  
  3587.  
  3588. &lt;p&gt;“In due course, the child concerned will need an age-appropriate explanation of what happened when she was conceived and why it is that she now has a different birth certificate.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3589.  
  3590.  
  3591.  
  3592. &lt;p&gt;The couple at the centre of the dispute placed an advert for help starting a family at the end of 2016.&lt;/p&gt;
  3593.  
  3594.  
  3595.  
  3596. &lt;p&gt;They met the&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/24767753/quick-way-make-cash-changed-life/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; sperm donor&lt;/a&gt; in a pub to agree terms.&lt;/p&gt;
  3597.  
  3598.  
  3599.  
  3600. &lt;p&gt;However, their first two attempts at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/23390207/diy-insemination-kits-cheaper-effective-ivf-nhs-trial/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;artificial insemination&lt;/a&gt; proved unsuccessful.&lt;/p&gt;
  3601.  
  3602.  
  3603.  
  3604. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;04dbb764-e986-4e97-88cc-6a6a1a1cc6f6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; mum, known only as P, was heartbroken and turned to the donor for comfort. &lt;/p&gt;
  3605.  
  3606.  
  3607.  
  3608. &lt;p&gt;They secretly met at her parents’ home while they were out of the country and had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sex/&quot;&gt;sex&lt;/a&gt;, the judge said.&lt;/p&gt;
  3609.  
  3610.  
  3611.  
  3612. &lt;p&gt;The pair slept together on two more occasions before P became pregnant. &lt;/p&gt;
  3613.  
  3614.  
  3615.  
  3616. &lt;p&gt;Her then-wife, referred to in court as Q, assumed the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pregnancy/&quot;&gt;pregnancy&lt;/a&gt; was the result of artificial insemination and was overjoyed.&lt;/p&gt;

  3640. &lt;p&gt;The baby was born in late 2017 and the birth certificate was registered by both women.&lt;/p&gt;
  3641.  
  3642.  
  3643.  
  3644. &lt;p&gt;P was listed as the biological mum and Q as parent.&lt;/p&gt;
  3645.  
  3646.  
  3647.  
  3648. &lt;p&gt;But after their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt; collapsed and the couple rowed over childcare arrangements, P admitted that she had cheated with the donor.&lt;/p&gt;
  3649.  
  3650.  
  3651.  
  3652. &lt;p&gt;The judge has now ruled Q must be erased from the birth certificate.&lt;/p&gt;
  3653.  
  3654.  
  3655.  
  3656. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Q has no biological connection with X and must come to terms with her lack of legal recognition as a parent by reason of my decision.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  3674. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE BBC has now revealed the fate of Beyond Paradise after two series on screens.&lt;/p&gt;
  3675.  
  3676.  
  3677.  
  3678. &lt;p&gt;The first episode of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22949943/bbc-drops-first-look-beyond-paradise-series-two/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;highly-anticipated second instalment&lt;/a&gt; has so far been seen by 7.5 million fans. &lt;/p&gt;
  3679.  
  3680.  
  3681.  
  3682. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27565384&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; width=&quot;11449&quot; height=&quot;9723&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Beyond-Paradise-_-Group-V3.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27565384&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Handout&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Beyond Paradise will return to the BBC for new episodes[/caption]
  3683.  
  3684.  
  3685.  
  3686. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_26383961&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; width=&quot;4612&quot; height=&quot;3031&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/humphrey-goodman-kris-marshall-martha-798181752.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-26383961&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton star in the Death In Paradise spin-off drama[/caption]
  3687.  
  3688.  
  3689.  
  3690. &lt;p&gt;But it has now been revealed that Beyond Paradise will return to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; One for new episodes. &lt;/p&gt;
  3691.  
  3692.  
  3693.  
  3694. &lt;p&gt;The popular drama has been recommissioned for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; special to air later this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3695.  
  3696.  
  3697.  
  3698. &lt;p&gt;Fans will also no doubt be ecstatic at the prospect of a third series which which will come to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-one/&quot;&gt;BBC One&lt;/a&gt; and iPlayer at some point &lt;span id=&quot;89e3f557-e5e7-49d4-9b70-aff9a8ac6726&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; year. &lt;/p&gt;
  3699.  
  3700.  
  3701.  
  3702. &lt;p&gt;The second series saw the two main characters Humphrey (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kris-marshall/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kris Marshall&lt;/a&gt;) and Martha (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/21499707/bbc-breakfast-fans-squirm-charlie-stayt-interview-beyond-paradise/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sally Bretton&lt;/a&gt;) nearly get married. &lt;/p&gt;
  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706. &lt;p&gt;They welcomed Ryan into their home as their fostering journey comes to a conclusion in heart-warming scenes.&lt;/p&gt;
  3707.  
  3708.  
  3709.  
  3710. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Esther (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25092445/beyond-paradise-viewers-floored-james-fleet-cameo/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Zahra Ahmadi&lt;/a&gt;) took on the case after the prized possession of the Shipton Abbott Museum robbed. &lt;/p&gt;
  3711.  
  3712.  
  3713.  
  3714. &lt;p&gt;This was also as the working relationship between Kelby (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/16421369/derry-girls-dylan-llewellyn-fans-swooning-smouldering-pic/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dylan Llewellyn)&lt;/a&gt; and CS Charlie Wood (Jade Harrison) took a rather dramatic turn. &lt;/p&gt;
  3715.  
  3716.  
  3717.  
  3718. &lt;p&gt;The series follows the Shipton Abbott &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; team attempt to solve a string of complicated case to keep the station house open into the &lt;span id=&quot;55d6e98b-dd76-444e-8f49-d84a65945681&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3719.  
  3720.  
  3721.  
  3722. &lt;p&gt;These have so far included a death during a murder-mystery play which was shown on a &lt;span id=&quot;65ece0d8-572e-4deb-b03a-3b71e11c5b04&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;steam&lt;/span&gt; train.&lt;/p&gt;
  3723.  
  3724.  
  3725.  
  3726. &lt;p&gt;Other plots have also seen local fishing legend going missing at sea as well as the story of a psychic medium who predicted an arson attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  3727.  
  3728.  
  3729.  
  3730. &lt;p&gt;The BBC hinted that that the popularity of the hit-show could be the reason why more episodes are on their way. &lt;/p&gt;

  3753.  
  3754. &lt;p&gt;Director of BBD Drama Lindsay Salt explained: &amp;#8220;Beyond Paradise has become such a huge hit with millions of viewers across the UK. &lt;/p&gt;
  3755.  
  3756.  
  3757.  
  3758. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s a show that is absolutely on a roll, and we’re beyond pleased to bring more fiendishly clever mysteries from the Shipton Abbott team to the BBC.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3759.  
  3760.  
  3761.  
  3762. &lt;p&gt;The producers of the series have promised to take viewers on a journey that will make them &amp;#8216;laugh, cry&amp;#8217; and possibly confuse them.&lt;/p&gt;
  3763.  
  3764.  
  3765.  
  3766. &lt;p&gt;Tim Key, executive producer for Red Planet Pictures said: &amp;#8220;I can promise that we’ll be making the viewers laugh, cry, laugh a bit more and then baffling them with a series of ingenious puzzles.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3767.  
  3768.  
  3769.  
  3770. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;There will also be a duck.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3771.  
  3772.  
  3773.  
  3774. &lt;p&gt;Beyond Paradise is distributed by BBC Studios to an international audience, &lt;/p&gt;
  3775.  
  3776.  
  3777.  
  3778. &lt;p&gt;The two series have so far been shown to nearly 60 territories worldwide with huge &lt;span id=&quot;5d354084-567a-46e0-85de-a2420707b824&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;markets&lt;/span&gt; in the UK, US and South Africa.&lt;/p&gt;

  3819.  
  3820.  
  3821.  
  3822. &lt;p&gt;Negotiations with Holland giants Feyenoord are understood to have been finalised.&lt;/p&gt;
  3823.  
  3824.  
  3825.  
  3826. &lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s even thought &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27514606/arne-slot-football-coach-manager-who/&quot;&gt;Slot&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s contract details at Liverpool have been sorted out.&lt;/p&gt;
  3827.  
  3828.  
  3829.  
  3830. &lt;p&gt;His incoming appointment is expected to be confirmed within days.&lt;/p&gt;
  3831.  
  3832.  
  3833.  
  3834. &lt;p&gt;It comes 24 hours after Sky Sports journalist Gary Cotterill was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27541557/arne-slot-liverpool-manager-feyenoord-journalist-grabbed/&quot;&gt;grabbed and held away from the former AZ Alkmaar chief&lt;/a&gt; when he tried to question him over the move. &lt;/p&gt;
  3835.  
  3836.  
  3837.  
  3838. &lt;p&gt;Cotterill was blocked off by a member of the manager&amp;#8217;s entourage.&lt;/p&gt;
  3839.  
  3840.

  3843.  
  3844.  
  3845.  
  3846. &lt;p&gt;Klopp, 56, revealed in January he would end his nine-year Anfield reign once the campaign was over.&lt;/p&gt;
  3847.  
  3848.  
  3849.  
  3850. &lt;p&gt;He guided Liverpool to Champions League glory in 2019 and the Prem title the following year.&lt;/p&gt;

  3865. &lt;div&gt;
  3866. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LIVERPOOL managerial target Arne Slot was a good enough player to have a type of pass named after him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3867. &lt;p&gt;But it is as a manager that the Feyenoord head coach is really making his mark.&lt;/p&gt;
  3868. &lt;p&gt;Like another bald Dutchman, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, Slot earned his stripes bossing smaller sides before being given a chance at one of the Netherlands&amp;#8217; big three.&lt;/p&gt;
  3869. &lt;p&gt;But the question Liverpool are pondering is whether Slot would make a better fist of running one of the biggest clubs in the world than Ten Hag so far has at Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  3870. &lt;p&gt;Slot, 45, was certainly easier on the eye as a player than centre back Ten Hag.&lt;/p&gt;
  3871. &lt;p&gt;“The Arne Slot Ball” was something he perfected as a silky No 10 &amp;#8211; a back-to-goal, first-time, 180-degree spin and flick behind the defensive line for a winger to run on to deep in the opposition half.&lt;/p&gt;
  3872. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Click &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27517236/next-liverpool-manager-arne-slot-profile-feyenoord/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to read all about the incoming Liverpool boss.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3873. &lt;/div&gt;

  3885.  
  3886.  
  3887.  
  3888. &lt;p&gt;Klopp&amp;#8217;s successor Slot was a solid, goalscoring midfielder during 18 years as a player.&lt;/p&gt;

  3912. &lt;p&gt;He notched 50 goals in 164 games in a seven-year stint at first club Zwolle.&lt;/p&gt;
  3913.  
  3914.  
  3915.  
  3916. &lt;p&gt;Then came five years with NAC Breda and a spell with Sparta Rotterdam from 2007-10 before he returned to Zwolle to finish his playing career. &lt;/p&gt;
  3917.  
  3918.  
  3919.  
  3920. &lt;p&gt;Not surprisingly, it was at Zwolle where Slot turned to coaching after he retired on the pitch in 2013.&lt;/p&gt;
  3921.  
  3922.  
  3923.  
  3924. &lt;p&gt;He then bossed Dutch second-tier club Cambur in 2016-17 and took the Alkmaar job two years later.&lt;/p&gt;
  3925.  
  3926.  
  3927.  
  3928. &lt;p&gt;Slot then landed one of the top jobs in Holland football when Feyenoord came calling in December 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  3929.  
  3930.  
  3931.  
  3932. &lt;p&gt;Now he is expected to head to Liverpool after the Dutch domestic campaign finishes on May 19.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  3945. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MANCHESTER United are in turmoil, despite back-to-back wins over Coventry and Sheffield United.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3946.  
  3947.  
  3948.  
  3949. &lt;p&gt;They are unbeaten in four games &amp;#8211; however manager &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/erik-ten-hag/&quot;&gt;Erik ten Hag&lt;/a&gt; is clinging on to his job because the club’s performances have fallen way below expected standards.&lt;/p&gt;

  3954.  
  3955.  
  3956.  
  3957. &lt;p&gt;They collapsed to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27455124/man-utd-coventry-fa-cup-semi-final/&quot;&gt;throw away a 3-0 lead &lt;/a&gt;to &lt;span id=&quot;906aaa8b-c580-46b8-8634-f51a1c10550d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Championship&lt;/span&gt; side Coventry who fought back to draw 3-3 at Wembley in Sunday’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fa-cup/&quot;&gt;FA Cup&lt;/a&gt; semi-final.&lt;/p&gt;
  3958.  
  3959.  
  3960.  
  3961. &lt;p&gt;Utd won on penalties but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27459037/coventry-mark-robins-toenail-offside-goal-man-utd/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;only after VAR saved them from a humiliating defeat&lt;/a&gt; by ruling out what would have been a winner for Coventry in the dying moments of the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  3962.  
  3963.  
  3964.  
  3965. &lt;p&gt;United went on to win the shootout as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27457626/antony-coventry-supporters-goading-man-utd-penalties/&quot;&gt;Antony taunted the Coventry supporters afterwards&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3966.  
  3967.  
  3968.  
  3969. &lt;p&gt;Ten Hag’s men then stumbled to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27523737/man-utd-sheff-utd-fernandes-ten-hag/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;4-2 midweek win over Sheffield Utd&lt;/a&gt;, after twice falling behind to the Premier League’s bottom team.&lt;/p&gt;
  3970.  
  3971.  
  3972.  
  3973. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27478553/ten-hag-man-utd-sack-ratcliffe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dutch manager is under huge pressure &lt;/a&gt;as joint owner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-jim-ratcliffe/&quot;&gt;Sir Jim Ratcliffe&lt;/a&gt; continues his extensive overhaul of the club behind the scenes with new technical director Jason Wilcox overseeing events on the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  3974.  
  3975.  
  3976.  
  3977. &lt;p&gt;For a long time United have been run poorly from behind the scenes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3978.  
  3979.  
  3980.  
  3981. &lt;p&gt;Recruitment has routinely been scatter-gun and the slow nature of-decision making at the club has seen them miss out on potential new players.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3982.  
  3983.  
  3984.  
  3985. &lt;p&gt;Ratcliffe and his right hand man Sir &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dave-brailsford/&quot;&gt;Dave Brailsford&lt;/a&gt; are fixing some of these problems &amp;#8211; and the expectation is growing that Ten Hag will be shown the door sooner rather than later. &lt;/p&gt;

  3992.  
  3993. &lt;p&gt;Here we highlight three key things that Ten Hag is getting wrong at the moment at United which could cost him his £9million-a-year job.&lt;/p&gt;
  3994.  
  3995.  
  3996.  
  3997. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conceding too many shots  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  3998.  
  3999.  
  4000.  
  4001. &lt;p&gt;The most damning stat is that United concede an average of 17.7 shots at their goal per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  4002.  
  4003.  
  4004.  
  4005. &lt;p&gt;Only lowly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/3735972/sheffield-united/&quot;&gt;Sheffield United&lt;/a&gt; have more, with 17.9. Man City manage to keep that figure down to just 8.&lt;/p&gt;

  4030.  
  4031.  
  4032.  
  4033. &lt;p&gt;In essence, United look soft defensively.&lt;/p&gt;
  4034.  
  4035.  
  4036.  
  4037. &lt;p&gt;Ten Hag will point to the amount of injuries with the likes of Lisandro Martinez and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/raphael-varane/&quot;&gt;Raphael Varane&lt;/a&gt; once again being injured.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4038.

  4041. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;e45bbc55-9c15-4824-b66b-0f642422c643&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Brazil&lt;/span&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/casemiro/&quot;&gt;Casemiro&lt;/a&gt; has been deputising as a centre half in recent games.&lt;/p&gt;
  4042.  
  4043.  
  4044.  
  4045. &lt;p&gt;However, there are no excuses for how disorganised the defensive unit has looked as a group and the blame for this has to come down to the coaching staff.&lt;/p&gt;
  4046.  
  4047.

  4054.  
  4055.  
  4056.  
  4057. &lt;p&gt;With the exception of the young French central defender Willy Kambwala the rest of the players who have played in the back four for United during this injury crisis have been established internationals.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4058.  
  4059.  
  4060.  
  4061. &lt;p&gt;This means that at the very least we should expect them to get their basic positioning right against the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  4062.  
  4063.  
  4064.  
  4065. &lt;p&gt;But instead United are often disorganised with players getting caught well out of position leaving gaps in the defensive line.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4066.  
  4067.  
  4068.  
  4069. &lt;p&gt;This lack of positional solidity from the defensive line, however, is not helped by the fact that United struggle to get pressure on the ball when the opposition are in possession.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4070.  
  4071.  
  4072.  
  4073. &lt;p&gt;The lack of pressure and defensive solidity that United have shown from their midfield unit has led to the opposition being able to find through balls or passes into space to threaten and stretch the United defensive line.&lt;/p&gt;
  4074.  
  4075.  
  4076.  
  4077. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27556030&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/United-two.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27556030&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;539&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Kambwala has been caught high looking to win the ball and Maguire has come across to  defend on the same line which leaves huge gaps in the defensive line that Bournemouth can exploit&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4078.  
  4079.  
  4080.  
  4081. &lt;p&gt;One of the biggest things that United need to do looking forward to &lt;span id=&quot;7cb5dd41-34a1-4b0a-b836-9ae6443a13b2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; season is to fix their defensive issues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4082.  
  4083.  
  4084.  
  4085. &lt;p&gt;With that said, however, keeping key players on the defensive side of the game fit should also be a priority.&lt;/p&gt;
  4086.  
  4087.  
  4088.  
  4089. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Too passive in midfield&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4090.  
  4091.  
  4092.  
  4093. &lt;p&gt;With the exception of club captain &lt;span id=&quot;aa0c5eba-e2b7-42db-99c2-93ff948c1c4b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Bruno&lt;/span&gt; Fernandes, United can be extremely passive and slow in possession when they look to build their attack.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4094.  
  4095.  
  4096.  
  4097. &lt;p&gt;United have traditionally been a team that attacks quickly through transitions and counter attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
  4098.  
  4099.  
  4100.  
  4101. &lt;p&gt;But this season, under Ten Hag, they seem to have slowed the pace of their attacking movements down.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4102.  
  4103.  
  4104.  
  4105. &lt;p&gt;While Fernandes will still get on the ball and try to be aggressive in terms of his progressive passing to move the ball into the final third he is the only midfield player that we see break lines consistently for United.&lt;/p&gt;
  4106.  
  4107.  
  4108.  
  4109. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27557414&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/the-sun-22-23-pass-map-56df33d4-8008-432a-b747-384da44c37f1.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/the-sun-22-23-pass-map-56df33d4-8008-432a-b747-384da44c37f1.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27557414&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Scott McTominay mostly moved the ball sideways against Coventry&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4110.  
  4111.  
  4112.  
  4113. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27557430&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/the-sun-22-23-pass-map-4201d679-aeb1-4bca-b200-07fa9a8488ab.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/the-sun-22-23-pass-map-4201d679-aeb1-4bca-b200-07fa9a8488ab.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27557430&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Christian Eriksen barely passed the ball forwards despite being at home against the bottom team&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4114.  
  4115.  
  4116.  
  4117. &lt;p&gt;The back four and the other midfield players for United will typically look to be safe and secure in possession.&lt;/p&gt;
  4118.  
  4119.  
  4120.  
  4121. &lt;p&gt;However this just allows the opposition players to quickly get back into their defensive shape.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4122.  
  4123.  
  4124.  
  4125. &lt;p&gt;Given the pace that United have in the attack in the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marcus-rashford/&quot;&gt;Marcus Rashford&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rasmus-hojlund/&quot;&gt;Rasmus Hojlund&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alejandro-garnacho/&quot;&gt;Alejandro Garnacho&lt;/a&gt; it would be far more beneficial for United to be more direct and progressive in possession.&lt;/p&gt;
  4126.  
  4127.  
  4128.  
  4129. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27556026&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/United-three-1.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27556026&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;539&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Casemiro passes forward to Eriksen in huge amounts of space to turn into but instead he just plays a simple pass backwards&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4130.  
  4131.  
  4132.  
  4133. &lt;p&gt;United are not helped in this regard though by some of the poor technical quality that their players show when they have space and time to play.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4134.  
  4135.  
  4136.  
  4137. &lt;p&gt;Too often United players will give the ball away to opposition players or put the ball out of play when they have plenty of time and space to play and to break down the opposition.&lt;/p&gt;
  4138.  
  4139.  
  4140.  
  4141. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27556016&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; width=&quot;2796&quot; height=&quot;1570&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/United-four-1.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27556016&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Maguire receives the ball but instead passing easily to Mainoo or Wan-Bissaka he loses composure and passes straight to the opposition&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4142.  
  4143.  
  4144.  
  4145. &lt;p&gt;For &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; to be truly successful they need to be braver and more progressive in possession of the ball.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4146.  
  4147.  
  4148.  
  4149. &lt;p&gt;We would expect this to be another aspect of the game that United will look to improve in the transfer market this coming &lt;span id=&quot;89ea6b0e-c2f1-4e8e-80a8-77322694e146&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4150.  
  4151.  
  4152.  
  4153. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They don’t play to their strengths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4154.  
  4155.  
  4156.  
  4157. &lt;p&gt;For a team to be truly successful at the top levels of &lt;span id=&quot;8f2641da-ab82-4e27-b4bd-1273de6fc60b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;football&lt;/span&gt; they have to be able to recognise their strengths — and play to those strengths.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4158.  
  4159.  
  4160.  
  4161. &lt;p&gt;As we have already touched upon, United this season have been far too slow and passive in their attacking play and as such they have struggled to really stretch the opposition and use the pace that they have in the attacking unit.&lt;/p&gt;
  4162.  
  4163.  
  4164.  
  4165. &lt;p&gt;The likes of Rashford, Garnacho and Hojlund are all very strong runners with true pace.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4166.  
  4167.  
  4168.  
  4169. &lt;p&gt;If United were able to get the ball forward more quickly then the opposition would be forced to defend deep and in space.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4170.  
  4171.  
  4172.  
  4173. &lt;p&gt;Time after time we see United’s quick forwards making off the ball runs to attack space only for the ball not to be released quickly to exploit these movements.&lt;/p&gt;
  4174.  
  4175.  
  4176.  
  4177. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27557683&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/the-sun-22-23-top-players-top-half-6f27cd62-2ea7-44b4-bf3e-af5aa8ecb588.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/the-sun-22-23-top-players-top-half-6f27cd62-2ea7-44b4-bf3e-af5aa8ecb588.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27557683&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Bruno Fernandes has been the outstanding player this season&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4178.  
  4179.  
  4180.  
  4181. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27556010&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/United-five-1.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27556010&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;539&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Against Bournemouth, Hojlund makes an aggressive run to attack the space but United instead keep passing the ball around the midfield&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4182.  
  4183.  
  4184.  
  4185. &lt;p&gt;All of the three most dangerous attacking players that United have thrive on getting the ball in space with the ability to run at opposition defenders and to attack space when they are in possession.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4186.  
  4187.  
  4188.  
  4189. &lt;p&gt;The fact that United are slow when they build the attack means that when these attacking players do finally get possession of the ball they tend to be playing against a more structured and settled defensive block from the opposition.&lt;/p&gt;
  4190.  
  4191.  
  4192.  
  4193. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27556024&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/United-six-1.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27556024&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;539&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Hojlund starts to make an attacking run, against Liverpool, but the player in possession makes a simple sideways pass instead of putting the ball forward and into space.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4194.  
  4195.  
  4196.  
  4197. &lt;p&gt;As things stand United, under Ten Hag, have been far too slow in all thirds of the pitch when they are in the attacking phase.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4198.  
  4199.  
  4200.  
  4201. &lt;p&gt;Giving players more freedom to play long and into space would cause the opposition real problems with the pace that United do have in their attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  4202.  
  4203.  
  4204.  
  4205. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4206.  
  4207.  
  4208.  
  4209. &lt;p&gt;It is looking increasingly more likely that &lt;span id=&quot;bc1035f2-0469-45f4-a3a3-ce9e2fad60a0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Erik ten Hag&lt;/span&gt; will not be the Man United manager at the start of &lt;span id=&quot;2c4cf451-91b1-4455-b51a-fa65c7708aa4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4210.  
  4211.  
  4212.  
  4213. &lt;p&gt;While he has been unlucky with constant injury issues, especially in the defence, this season it is also fair to say that he has taken some freedom away from players on the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  4214.  
  4215.  
  4216.  
  4217. &lt;p&gt;This will be a big &lt;span id=&quot;6242b3e9-63fb-4f0a-8d50-dcaf9eec7479&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; for United with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gareth-southgate/&quot;&gt;Gareth Southgate&lt;/a&gt; and former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; manager &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/thomas-tuchel/&quot;&gt;Thomas Tuchel&lt;/a&gt; in line to reoplace Ten Hag.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  4232. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A FOOD expert has revealed several methods to make your groceries last longer than expected that don&amp;#8217;t break the bank.&lt;/p&gt;
  4233.  
  4234.  
  4235.  
  4236. &lt;p&gt;She even shared a trick to extend the shelf life of your dairy products with a little flick of the wrist.  &lt;/p&gt;

  4245.  
  4246.  
  4247.  
  4248. &lt;p&gt;She said that nearly 40% of all food goes to waste in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
  4249.  
  4250.  
  4251.  
  4252. &lt;p&gt;What can we do to prevent this and keep groceries fresher for longer?&lt;/p&gt;
  4253.  
  4254.  
  4255.  
  4256. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;BREAD BLUNDER&lt;/h2&gt;
  4257.  
  4258.  
  4259.  
  4260. &lt;p&gt;Hardin said you should never keep your bread in the fridge because it stales much faster at cool temperatures. &lt;/p&gt;
  4261.  
  4262.  
  4263.  
  4264. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Instead, store it in a bread box or a cool, dry cupboard,&amp;#8221; she added.&lt;/p&gt;
  4265.  
  4266.  
  4267.  
  4268. &lt;p&gt;Hardin also offered a quick tip if sliced bride starts to stale before you finish the load. &lt;/p&gt;
  4269.  
  4270.  
  4271.  
  4272. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Pop it in the freezer! Take out a slice or two as needed, toast straight from frozen, and enjoy fresh-tasting bread every time,&amp;#8221; she explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  4273.

  4278.  
  4279.  
  4280. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/strong&gt;Produce such as potatoes, onions, and garlic should never be stored in the fridge,&amp;#8221; the entrepreneur said. &lt;/p&gt;
  4281.  
  4282.  
  4283.  
  4284. &lt;p&gt;She advised keeping them in cool, dark places for &amp;#8220;optimal freshness.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4285.  
  4286.  
  4287.  
  4288. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;However, storing potatoes with onions is a big no-no! Onions release ethylene gas, making potatoes sprout faster, so keep them separate,&amp;#8221; she warned. &lt;/p&gt;

  4313.  
  4314.  
  4315.  
  4316. &lt;p&gt;Hardin said it&amp;#8217;s crucial to keep certain fruits and vegetables separate because ethylene gas is a &amp;#8220;sneaky villain&amp;#8221; that speeds up ripening. &lt;/p&gt;
  4317.  
  4318.  
  4319.  
  4320. &lt;p&gt;Certain fruits and veggies, like apples, avocados, and melons, release this. &lt;/p&gt;
  4321.  
  4322.  
  4323.  
  4324. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Store these guys away from ethylene-sensitive produce like leafy greens, broccoli, and berries,&amp;#8221; she suggested. &lt;/p&gt;
  4325.  
  4326.  
  4327.  
  4328. &lt;p&gt;Also, make sure that you’re using the best place in your home to store specific groceries.&lt;/p&gt;
  4329.  
  4330.  
  4331.  
  4332. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Storing tomatoes on the kitchen counter can keep their texture and flavor better than in the fridge,&amp;#8221; the expert added.&lt;/p&gt;
  4333.  
  4334.  
  4335.  
  4336. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;WRAP METHOD&lt;/h2&gt;
  4337.  
  4338.  
  4339.  
  4340. &lt;p&gt;Hardin recommended wrapping fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, and basil in slightly damp paper towels to keep them crisp and flavorful for much longer.&lt;/p&gt;
  4341.  
  4342.  
  4343.  
  4344. &lt;p&gt;Then, place them in a resealable plastic bag or container in the refrigerator.&lt;/p&gt;
  4345.  
  4346.  
  4347.  
  4348. &lt;p&gt;Also, storing fresh-cut herbs in an ice cube tray with oil and freezing them into portions keeps them fresh if you don&amp;#8217;t use them in time.&lt;/p&gt;
  4349.  
  4350.  
  4351.  
  4352. &lt;p&gt;This trick also works for fresh garlic, chili, and ginger.&lt;/p&gt;
  4353.  
  4354.  
  4355.  
  4356. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;BATH BEST&lt;/h2&gt;

  4360. &lt;p&gt;Vinegar has proven to be a natural disinfectant and multi-purpose cleaner.&lt;/p&gt;
  4361.  
  4362.  
  4363.  
  4364. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Washing your fruits and vegetables in a mix of water and vinegar will remove bacteria and disinfect the produce, keeping it fresher for longer,&amp;#8221; Hardin said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4365.  
  4366.  
  4367.  
  4368. &lt;p&gt; She recommended making a mix that is one part vinegar and three parts water in a bowl or clean skin. &lt;/p&gt;
  4369.  
  4370.  
  4371.  
  4372. &lt;p&gt;Let the fruits or veggies sit for 15 minutes and then rinse them off before storing them properly. &lt;/p&gt;

Deliberately growing certain plants to attract agricultural pests can keep them away from the plants you want to protect. Examples include marigolds, lavender, catnip, and chives.&lt;/li&gt;
  4391. &lt;li&gt;For pesky weeds in your garden, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3IK28Yq&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Grampa&amp;#8217;s Weeder &amp;#8211; The Original Stand-Up Weed Puller Tool with Long Handles&lt;/a&gt;, $45, from Amazon is a helpful tool you can use without having to bend over.&lt;/li&gt;

  4399.  
  4400. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;SALTY SOLUTION&lt;/h2&gt;
  4401.  
  4402.  
  4403.  
  4404. &lt;p&gt;If you want to stop bacteria from growing in your milk and causing it to go bad, add a little bit of salt.&lt;/p&gt;
  4405.  
  4406.  
  4407.  
  4408. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you first open your milk, add a pinch of salt, give it a good shake, and place it in your refrigerator as soon as possible,&amp;#8221; Hardin revealed. &lt;/p&gt;
  4409.  
  4410.  
  4411.  
  4412. &lt;p&gt;Ensure you&amp;#8217;re also using the coolest areas of your fridge to keep your milk fresh. &lt;/p&gt;
  4413.  
  4414.  
  4415.  
  4416. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;FIRST IN, FIRST OUT&lt;/h2&gt;
  4417.  
  4418.  
  4419.  
  4420. &lt;p&gt;When restocking your pantry or refrigerator, Hardin said to follow the &amp;#8220;first in, first out rule&amp;#8221; often. &lt;/p&gt;
  4421.  
  4422.  
  4423.  
  4424. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Move older items to the front and place newer items in the back,&amp;#8221; she explained. &lt;/p&gt;
  4425.  
  4426.  
  4427.  
  4428. &lt;p&gt;This prompts you to use older ingredients first and reduces the likelihood of them expiring before they&amp;#8217;re used.&lt;/p&gt;
  4429.  
  4430.  
  4431.  
  4432. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;REMOVE PACKAGING&lt;/h2&gt;
  4433.  
  4434.  
  4435.  
  4436. &lt;p&gt;Lastly, Hardin said to &amp;#8220;always remove foods from their original packaging into specialized storage solutions.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4437.  
  4438.  
  4439.  
  4440. &lt;p&gt;Produce savers can lengthen the shelf life of strawberries, other fruits, and cheese.&lt;/p&gt;
  4441.  
  4442.  
  4443.  
  4444. &lt;p&gt;Try using paper towels to absorb the moisture from berries and salads, she added. &lt;/p&gt;
  4445.  
  4446.  
  4447.  
  4448. &lt;p&gt;By implementing these tips and tricks into your life, you can help reduce food waste and simultaneously keep your ingredients fresher for longer.&lt;/p&gt;

  4465. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A BRITISH tourist attacked by a bull shark while swimming off Tobago is tonight in intensive care after suffering injuries to his stomach.&lt;/p&gt;
  4466.  
  4467.  
  4468.  
  4469. &lt;p&gt;The man, 64, had ventured into the water near the Caribbean Island’s Starfish Hotel and was attacked about 10 metres from the shore.&lt;/p&gt;
  4470.  
  4471.  
  4472.  
  4473. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27570162&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NINTCHDBPICT000896970102.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27570162&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;643&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A British tourist was attacked by a shark while swimming off Tobago[/caption]

  4478.  
  4479.  
  4480.  
  4481. &lt;p&gt;Witnesses said they believed the shark, reportedly a bull shark, was up to 10 feet long and two feet wide.&lt;/p&gt;
  4482.  
  4483.  
  4484.  
  4485. &lt;p&gt;The victim reportedly suffered a severed left thigh and severed left hand to elbow, as well as a laceration to his stomach.&lt;/p&gt;
  4486.  
  4487.  
  4488.  
  4489. &lt;p&gt;He was receiving critical care at the Scarborough &lt;span id=&quot;52a27765-9ca9-4e88-a353-bb7840a42b38&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;General Hospital&lt;/span&gt; last night, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-horror-shark-attack-leaves-32681705&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Mirror (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mirror&lt;/a&gt; reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  4490.  
  4491.  
  4492.  
  4493. &lt;p&gt;The attack, which occurred on Friday at Turtle Beach along Great Courland Bay, has led the government of Trinidad &amp;amp; Tobago to close seven beaches and a marine park.&lt;/p&gt;
  4494.  
  4495.  
  4496.  
  4497. &lt;p&gt;Witnesses said the victim was only in waist-deep water when he was attacked, and that people nearby tried to chase off the predator.&lt;/p&gt;
  4498.  
  4499.  
  4500.  
  4501. &lt;p&gt;Stephanie Wright, from West Sussex, said: &amp;#8220;We saw some people on the beach, and I originally thought the gentleman had had a cardiac arrest, and I thought they were helping him.&lt;/p&gt;
  4502.  
  4503.  
  4504.  
  4505. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And then I saw someone running down with a towel, and then I saw a dorsal fin come out of the water and thought, &amp;#8216;Oh my God, it&amp;#8217;s a shark.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  4506.  
  4507.  
  4508.  
  4509. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As it turned, I saw the tail come out as well. As it swam off.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4510.  
  4511.  
  4512.  
  4513. &lt;p&gt;The government said that shark sightings were reported in the Grafton area and in the Buccoo Reef Marine Park.&lt;/p&gt;
  4514.  
  4515.  
  4516.  
  4517. &lt;p&gt;Officials added that the closure of beaches and a marine park would allow the Coast Guard and Department of Fisheries to investigate the attack and possibly &amp;#8220;neutralise&amp;#8221; the shark threat.&lt;/p&gt;
  4518.  
  4519.  
  4520.  
  4521. &lt;p&gt;There were 69 unprovoked shark attacks and 22 provoked bites worldwide last year, along with 14 fatalities, according to the Florida-based International Shark Attack File.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  4549. &lt;p&gt;The thugs removed the motor&amp;#8217;s bonnet, panels and other bits from the front of the vehicle before fleeing the scene, Manchester Evening News &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/we-woke-up-find-half-29060525&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;reported (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4552.  
  4553. &lt;p&gt;Rory, 31, had parked the car in its usual spot in front of Winton Dental Practice on Vaughan Street.&lt;/p&gt;
  4554.  
  4555.  
  4556.  
  4557. &lt;p&gt;He believes the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;criminals (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;criminals&lt;/a&gt; nabbed the parts between 9.30pm on Wednesday and 6am on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
  4558.  
  4559.  
  4560.  
  4561. &lt;p&gt;While the Volkswagen is leased under Rory&amp;#8217;s name, the radiographer had been due to drop the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;motor (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;motor&lt;/a&gt; at the home of it&amp;#8217;s new owner before the shock incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  4562.  
  4563.  
  4564.  
  4565. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The car had been sold and I was about to drive it to the new owner&amp;#8217;s house at 6.30am,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4566.  
  4567.  
  4568.  
  4569. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I got to the car and was like &amp;#8216;oh my God.'&amp;#8221;  &lt;/p&gt;
  4570.  
  4571.  
  4572.  
  4573. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was a shock.&lt;/p&gt;
  4574.  
  4575.  
  4576.  
  4577. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;ve taken the front bumper, the lights, the radiator, the bonnet and parts of the wheel arches and engine &amp;#8211; everything from the front.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4578.  
  4579.  
  4580.  
  4581. &lt;p&gt;Natalia&amp;#8217;s brother, who lives with the couple, broke the news to the two after returning home from a night shift.&lt;/p&gt;
  4582.  
  4583.  
  4584.  
  4585. &lt;p&gt;Rory added: &amp;#8220;He walked up and said &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;m not sure how to say this&amp;#8230; but half your car is missing&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4586.  
  4587.  
  4588.  
  4589. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I said to Natalia &amp;#8216;am I still sleeping? Am I dreaming?&amp;#8217;. &lt;/p&gt;
  4590.  
  4591.  
  4592.  
  4593. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We stood there looking at it with our mouths open for a while and then called the police.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4654. &lt;p&gt;A post-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;shortage of car parts &amp;#8211; which has been exacerbated by the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ukraine-war/&quot;&gt;Ukraine invasion&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; is one reason for the crime wave.&lt;/p&gt;
  4655.  
  4656.  
  4657.  
  4658. &lt;p&gt;Government statistics reveal crimes involving thefts from motor vehicles &amp;#8211; which includes car cannibalism &amp;#8211; were up 10 per cent last year at 212,900 offences nationwide.&lt;/p&gt;
  4659.  
  4660.  
  4661.  
  4662. &lt;p&gt;The trend has been seen in parts of Yorkshire, Scotland and Essex, and at least three Land Rovers had doors stolen from them while parked at Glastonbury.&lt;/p&gt;
  4663.  
  4664.  
  4665.  
  4666. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Models most at risk&lt;/h2&gt;
  4667.  
  4668.  
  4669.  
  4670. &lt;p&gt;But the West Midlands is the worst hit, and cars particularly at risk include the Vauxhall Corsa, Toyota Yaris, Ford Fiesta and Renault Clio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4671.  
  4672.  
  4673.  
  4674. &lt;p&gt;Almost 20,000 thefts from motor vehicles were reported to West Midlands police between last September and March.&lt;/p&gt;
  4675.  
  4676.  
  4677.  
  4678. &lt;p&gt;Thieves have struck in Digbeth, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield and Smethwick and &amp;#8211; in one worrying escalation &amp;#8211; thugs drove at a female victim when she caught them red-handed dismantling her car outside her home. &lt;/p&gt;
  4679.  
  4680.  
  4681.  
  4682. &lt;p&gt;Vehicle crime expert and former Detective Chief Superintendent Clive Wain said the epidemic was linked to the rise of backstreet ‘chop shops’ which steal cars and dismantle them for parts.&lt;/p&gt;
  4683.  
  4684.  
  4685.  
  4686. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve seen a huge increase in chop shops around the country,” explained Mr Wain, head of police liaison with car security specialists Tracker. “Car cannibalisation is a very crude version of that.&lt;/p&gt;
  4687.  
  4688.  
  4689.  
  4690. &lt;p&gt;“Even basic car parts have shot up in price and become harder to get hold of, so &amp;#8211; suddenly &amp;#8211; this is a very lucrative market for criminals.&lt;/p&gt;
  4691.  
  4692.  
  4693.  
  4694. &lt;p&gt;“I do think there’s a level of organisation behind it because the thieves have a ready-made outlet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4695.  
  4696.  
  4697.  
  4698. &lt;p&gt;“The vast majority go to chop shops run by crime groups, and there’s a huge influence from eastern Europe in particular in terms of coordinating those thefts.&lt;/p&gt;
  4699.  
  4700.  
  4701.  
  4702. &lt;p&gt;“To think that these individuals can just strip a vehicle in broad daylight in front of people &amp;#8211; it is a very, very worrying turn of events.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4703.  
  4704.  
  4705.  
  4706. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  4707. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  4708. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Mark your parts&lt;/h3&gt;
  4709. &lt;/div&gt;
  4710. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  4712. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  4713. It’s unlikely you’ll ever recover your parts if they are stolen, but marking them can make it easier for the police to identify them. &lt;/p&gt;
  4715. &lt;div&gt;
  4716. &lt;p&gt;In some cases, marked parts can be a deterrent if the thief notices the marking, as they’ll be more reluctant to steal a part that can be traced.&lt;/p&gt;
  4717. &lt;p&gt;People buying the parts may also realise they have been stolen if they’re marked, and if so, they may be more likely to contact the police. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4718. &lt;/div&gt;

  4735. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;“BACK in your day” has just entered the growing list of banned phrases.&lt;/p&gt;
  4736.  
  4737.  
  4738.  
  4739. &lt;p&gt;According to an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/employment/&quot;&gt;employment&lt;/a&gt; tribunal earlier this week, the expression is “barbed and unwelcome”, and harmful because it is “related to age”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4740.  
  4741.  
  4742.  
  4743. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569690&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/TM-OP-Douglas-Murray.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569690&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;It is baked into the American bloodstream that part of life is robust language, and it must not be policed&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4744.  
  4745.  
  4746.  
  4747. &lt;p&gt;That’s a shame because I have always liked the phrase.&lt;/p&gt;
  4748.  
  4749.  
  4750.  
  4751. &lt;p&gt;And besides, like so much of the speech-policing that goes on in this country, nothing real comes from it.&lt;/p&gt;
  4752.  
  4753.  
  4754.  
  4755. &lt;p&gt;The woman who brought the case, one Margaret Couperthwaite, is in her sixties. And I have news for her.&lt;/p&gt;
  4756.  
  4757.  
  4758.  
  4759. &lt;p&gt;You may be able to patrol the language but you cannot patrol the reality.&lt;/p&gt;
  4760.  
  4761.  
  4762.  
  4763. &lt;p&gt;Being in your sixties definitely puts you in the area of being old.&lt;/p&gt;
  4764.  
  4765.  
  4766.  
  4767. &lt;p&gt;But the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; and other authorities keep ignoring this fact.&lt;/p&gt;
  4768.  
  4769.  
  4770.  
  4771. &lt;p&gt;The Scottish Government recently created a new hate-speech &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/scotland/&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/a&gt; that will see people charged not just for what they say in public but for what they say in PRIVATE.&lt;/p&gt;
  4772.  
  4773.  
  4774.  
  4775. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Snitches and grasses&lt;/h2&gt;
  4776.  
  4777.  
  4778.  
  4779. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27527771/humza-yousaf-to-hold-emergency-cabinet-meeting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Humza Yousaf&lt;/a&gt;’s useless government in Edinburgh actually encourages people to inform on people if they say something offensive around their own dinner table.&lt;/p&gt;
  4780.  
  4781.  
  4782.  
  4783. &lt;p&gt;What are those “offensive” things. They might be such things as “a man cannot be a woman” or the like.&lt;/p&gt;

  4807. &lt;p&gt;If a parent says this, and their child has already been influenced by the crazy ideologies of our era, then the child could inform on the parents. &lt;/p&gt;
  4808.  
  4809.  
  4810.  
  4811. &lt;p&gt;Something which was frequent in communist societies but not something that has tended to be encouraged in free societies.&lt;/p&gt;
  4812.  
  4813.  
  4814.  
  4815. &lt;p&gt;Again, this attempt to legislate away “hate” has no impact on actual reality.&lt;/p&gt;
  4816.  
  4817.  
  4818.  
  4819. &lt;p&gt;A man cannot become a woman, or vice versa. &lt;/p&gt;
  4820.  
  4821.  
  4822.  
  4823. &lt;p&gt;They can sometimes approximate to look like a member of the opposite sex, but they cannot become the opposite sex. &lt;/p&gt;
  4824.  
  4825.  
  4826.  
  4827. &lt;p&gt;That is just reality — like ageing. &lt;/p&gt;
  4828.  
  4829.  
  4830.  
  4831. &lt;p&gt;Setting up some p**s-poor law to try to police people saying otherwise changes nothing.&lt;/p&gt;
  4832.  
  4833.  
  4834.  
  4835. &lt;p&gt;Except that it turns your society from being a place where people can talk freely into one in which people are encouraged to be snitches and grasses. &lt;/p&gt;
  4836.  
  4837.  
  4838.  
  4839. &lt;p&gt;All in the name of “tolerance”, obviously.&lt;/p&gt;
  4840.  
  4841.  
  4842.  
  4843. &lt;p&gt;In other countries in the formerly free world, there are similar moves afoot.&lt;/p&gt;

  4861.  
  4862.  
  4863.  
  4864. &lt;p&gt;A friend who was once hauled in front of one of these pathetic commissions was asked to explain why he made a particular joke.&lt;/p&gt;
  4865.  
  4866.  
  4867.  
  4868. &lt;p&gt;What were his motives for doing so, etc? What the hell business is it of theirs?, he asked.&lt;/p&gt;

  4880. &lt;p&gt;Of course, that’s a pretty tall order. &lt;/p&gt;
  4881.  
  4882.  
  4883.  
  4884. &lt;p&gt;Not least because a growing number of people in our societies seem desperate to be offended and indeed go out of their way to seek things that they can then say offend them.&lt;/p&gt;
  4885.  
  4886.  
  4887.  
  4888. &lt;p&gt;It’s not really possible for a society to operate like this, because it makes everybody go at the speed — and the direction — of a small group of malevolent people.&lt;/p&gt;
  4889.  
  4890.

  4893.  
  4894.  
  4895.  
  4896. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/united-states/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;America &lt;/a&gt;has plenty of its own problems, but it doesn’t have so much of this one. &lt;/p&gt;
  4897.  
  4898.  
  4899.  
  4900. &lt;p&gt;Thanks to the first amendment, the right to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/freedom-of-speech/&quot;&gt;freedom of speech&lt;/a&gt; has been enshrined in law from America’s founding. &lt;/p&gt;
  4901.  
  4902.  
  4903.  
  4904. &lt;p&gt;And Americans take attacks on the first amendment very seriously. &lt;/p&gt;
  4905.  
  4906.  
  4907.  
  4908. &lt;p&gt;It is baked into the American bloodstream that part of life is robust language.&lt;/p&gt;
  4909.  
  4910.  
  4911.  
  4912. &lt;p&gt;They realise that of the two options available — policing language or being occasionally offended, but free — the second is far more desirable.&lt;/p&gt;
  4913.  
  4914.  
  4915.  
  4916. &lt;p&gt;Other countries in the Anglosphere, specifically our own country, Canada and Australia, seem to be choosing a different route. &lt;/p&gt;
  4917.  
  4918.  
  4919.  
  4920. &lt;p&gt;And there is something important to understand underneath this.&lt;/p&gt;
  4921.  
  4922.  
  4923.  
  4924. &lt;p&gt;That is that governments tend to try to police language when they cannot do the basics.&lt;/p&gt;
  4925.  
  4926.  
  4927.  
  4928. &lt;p&gt;In Scotland the government can’t even build a couple of workable ferries to get to the islands. &lt;/p&gt;
  4929.  
  4930.  
  4931.  
  4932. &lt;p&gt;The basics of infrastructure seem to be completely beyond these numpties.&lt;/p&gt;
  4933.  
  4934.  
  4935.  
  4936. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_23313588&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/GETTY_King-Felipe-VI-Of-Spain-Attends-The-Closing-Of-The-World-Law-Congress_ENT_GYI1561130681jpg-JS8.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-23313588&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Canadian president Justin Trudeau is tightening laws in the country to hold individuals accountable for their words&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4937.  
  4938.  
  4939.  
  4940. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;It can change&lt;/h2&gt;
  4941.  
  4942.  
  4943.  
  4944. &lt;p&gt;In the same way, Humza Useless and his friends seem to be able to do nothing about the poverty and rampant drug deaths in the East End of Glasgow.&lt;/p&gt;
  4945.  
  4946.  
  4947.  
  4948. &lt;p&gt;Would you trust a government that can do literally none of the basic things decide what you or I can say? I’d hope not.&lt;/p&gt;
  4949.  
  4950.  
  4951.  
  4952. &lt;p&gt;It’s the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27129544/burglaries-call-out-times-interactive-map/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;same with the police.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  4953.  
  4954.  
  4955.  
  4956. &lt;p&gt;Half of this country has police forces which have solved NO burglaries in the last three years.&lt;/p&gt;
  4957.  
  4958.  
  4959.  
  4960. &lt;p&gt;Yes, you read that right. They solved no burglaries. Zero. Nada. Zilch.&lt;/p&gt;

  5021. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;TWO years ago, Martin Roberts was fighting for his life after suffering heart failure aged 58.&lt;/p&gt;
  5022.  
  5023.  
  5024.  
  5025. &lt;p&gt;The presenter of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes-under-the-hammer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;11972bd0-0373-43ea-9e9e-dc9a75234152&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Homes&lt;/span&gt; Under The Hammer&lt;/a&gt; lay in hospital desperate for company as he was forced to face his own mortality.&lt;/p&gt;
  5026.  
  5027.  
  5028.  
  5029. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569489&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/martin-inside-hendrewen-hotel-martin-804114607.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569489&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;578&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Dan Jones Images&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Homes Under The Hammer&amp;#8217;s Martin Roberts bought a pub without telling his wife after suffering heart failure two years ago[/caption]
  5030.  
  5031.  
  5032.  
  5033. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569491&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/martin-roberts-hospital-mike-ridley-730830019.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569491&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Martin Roberts revealed that he was told had &amp;#8216;less than a few hours to live&amp;#8217;[/caption]
  5034.  
  5035.  
  5036.  
  5037. &lt;p&gt;So he reached out on social media in a bid to find comfort.&lt;/p&gt;
  5038.  
  5039.  
  5040.  
  5041. &lt;p&gt;And he believes the reaction from fans was his saviour, after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22307508/homes-under-the-hammer-martin-roberts-emergency-heart-surgery/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;doctors told him he was hours from death.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5042.  
  5043.  
  5044.  
  5045. &lt;p&gt;“Absolute strangers put their arms around me and embraced me at one of the lowest points in my life,” he told The Sun through tears.&lt;/p&gt;
  5046.  
  5047.  
  5048.  
  5049. &lt;p&gt;“It helped save me in many ways, as hearing other people’s stories helped to make sense of what was happening to me.&lt;/p&gt;
  5050.  
  5051.  
  5052.  
  5053. &lt;p&gt;“They shared how they got through it and what they found helped.&lt;/p&gt;
  5054.  
  5055.  
  5056.  
  5057. &lt;p&gt;“It made a humongous difference. It was just extraordinary that people who I didn’t know were making time to write and be supportive.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5058.  
  5059.  
  5060.  
  5061. &lt;p&gt;During his ordeal, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/martin-roberts/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Martin&lt;/a&gt;, now 60, posted a video from his hospital room updating fans and joked about watching &lt;span id=&quot;ced8868c-3291-45ad-9f15-f2222da8be27&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Homes Under The Hammer&lt;/span&gt; in an unexpected location.&lt;/p&gt;
  5062.  
  5063.  
  5064.  
  5065. &lt;p&gt;The telly favourite had mistaken his chest pains for long Covid and, by the time he was taken to hospital in April 2022, he had developed a deadly pericardial effusion.&lt;/p&gt;
  5066.  
  5067.  
  5068.  
  5069. &lt;p&gt;The condition is a build-up of fluid in the structure around the heart which required surgery to be relieved.&lt;/p&gt;
  5070.  
  5071.  
  5072.  
  5073. &lt;p&gt;Otherwise, the pressure it causes could have stopped his heart from pumping normally.&lt;/p&gt;
  5074.

  5097. &lt;p&gt;Having the op meant Martin had to stay in hospital away from his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/2226845/im-a-celebritys-martin-roberts-wife-defends-him-against-backlash-insisting-hes-had-a-tough-ride-in-the-jungle/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;wife, Kirsty&lt;/a&gt;, and children Megan, 14, and Scott, 16.&lt;/p&gt;
  5098.  
  5099.  
  5100.  
  5101. &lt;p&gt;But now he is determined not to waste his second chance at life.&lt;/p&gt;
  5102.  
  5103.  
  5104.  
  5105. &lt;p&gt;Instead of slowing down, as medics ordered, Martin has decided to do as much as he can to help others — in a bid to pay for the love he has received in his times of need.&lt;/p&gt;
  5106.  
  5107.  
  5108.  
  5109. &lt;p&gt;He turned to social media again last year following the death of his father Norman, 90, which he struggled to process despite finding some comfort in the fact his dad died peacefully at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  5110.  
  5111.  
  5112.  
  5113. &lt;p&gt;Again, he was blown away by the kindness of strangers, with thousands writing messages of condolence and support.&lt;/p&gt;
  5114.  
  5115.  
  5116.  
  5117. &lt;p&gt;“Whenever people show kindness to others in this life it brings out the best in others, and I want to pay forward the love I received from them,” Martin said.&lt;/p&gt;
  5118.  
  5119.  
  5120.  
  5121. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘Live our dreams’&lt;/h2&gt;
  5122.  
  5123.  
  5124.  
  5125. &lt;p&gt;“Now I’ve got my second chance, I want to be that to others.&lt;/p&gt;
  5126.  
  5127.  
  5128.  
  5129. &lt;p&gt;“I want to carry that with me and do what I can do and, if it changes someone’s life in the process, that’s great.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5130.  
  5131.  
  5132.  
  5133. &lt;p&gt;Martin’s new-found zest for life &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/21841047/martin-roberts-homes-under-the-hammer-wales-cycle-tunnel/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;saw him impulsively buy the derelict Hendrewen Hotel and pub in the Rhondda Valley&lt;/a&gt; last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  5134.  
  5135.  
  5136.  
  5137. &lt;p&gt;He didn’t even consult Kirsty before putting in an offer, despite it being some two hours from their family home in Paulton, Somerset.&lt;/p&gt;
  5138.  
  5139.  
  5140.  
  5141. &lt;p&gt;The old property needs extensive restoration to get it up and running, and Martin has chosen to work with local disadvantaged kids to teach them construction skills as they get stuck in to the job.&lt;/p&gt;
  5142.  
  5143.  
  5144.  
  5145. &lt;p&gt;He said: “I’m now more motivated and desperate to get all the things done that I possibly can.&lt;/p&gt;
  5146.  
  5147.  
  5148.  
  5149. &lt;p&gt;“I have no idea how much longer I’ve got but, whatever it is, I want to make a difference to people. If I accidentally speed up my demise in the process, it’s a risk I’m willing to take. I’ve dealt with nearly dying, what could be harder than that?”&lt;/p&gt;
  5150.  
  5151.  
  5152.  
  5153. &lt;p&gt;Four &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot;&gt;schools&lt;/a&gt; are sending eight kids a week to work on Martin’s hotel.&lt;/p&gt;

  5167.  
  5168.  
  5169. &lt;p&gt;They are a mix of pupils who are struggling to fit in or fancied doing something practical. &lt;/p&gt;
  5170.  
  5171.  
  5172.  
  5173. &lt;p&gt;And the telly regular has already seen a huge change in the 15 to 17-year-olds. He said: “I’ve had parents ringing asking what we’ve done to their child because they don’t recognise them any more.&lt;/p&gt;
  5174.  
  5175.  
  5176.  
  5177. &lt;p&gt;“Simply just being given a chance is seeing them become more engaged and lively, and their families are seeing that.&lt;/p&gt;
  5178.  
  5179.  
  5180.  
  5181. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve had one kid stop using &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/a&gt; and another realise that he’s not stupid because he can’t do algebra or geography. Seeing the positive change they’re getting from working on the hotel is what is really &lt;span id=&quot;778e90e6-5bd3-4488-a092-7c5f0260d742&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/span&gt; me. It shows what kindness can do.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5182.  
  5183.  
  5184.  
  5185. &lt;p&gt;The teens are close in age to Martin’s own children, who he hopes to draft in to help with the renovations during school &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/holidays/&quot;&gt;holidays&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5186.  
  5187.  
  5188.  
  5189. &lt;p&gt;“It’s scary bananas how much they’ve grown up,” he said of his own children.&lt;/p&gt;
  5190.  
  5191.  
  5192.  
  5193. &lt;p&gt;“It seems like yesterday they were riding around my kitchen on a tricycle. I just want to make sure they know that we’ll support whatever they want to do. Be it a surf instructor or whatever else, that’s fine.&lt;/p&gt;
  5194.  
  5195.  
  5196.  
  5197. &lt;p&gt;“I just want them to be happy. Life is precious and we should live our dreams. That’s something I realised after my scare. You have to do what makes you happy.” Martin recognises his kids have grown up in different circumstances to the lads working at the hotel, but he is proud to be able to give them an opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;
  5198.  
  5199.  
  5200.  
  5201. &lt;p&gt;“It’s so important for me to balance out opportunities for everyone,” he said. “I haven’t promised them anything other than a discount in the pub when it’s finished.&lt;/p&gt;
  5202.  
  5203.  
  5204.  
  5205. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘We were all in tears’&lt;/h2&gt;
  5206.  
  5207.  
  5208.  
  5209. &lt;p&gt;“But if, one day, they tell me working with me was a turning point in their life, I’ll be thrilled.&lt;/p&gt;
  5210.  
  5211.  
  5212.  
  5213. &lt;p&gt;“We have one lad who struggled to communicate because of a really strong stammer. But since he’s grown in confidence he won’t stop talking and his stammer has diminished, which is great to see.&lt;/p&gt;
  5214.  
  5215.  
  5216.  
  5217. &lt;p&gt;“It shows what kindness and giving someone a chance can achieve.” It is no surprise that helping others has taken a central role in Martin’s life, as Homes Under The Hammer sees him support people while they renovate auction properties.&lt;/p&gt;
  5218.  
  5219.  
  5220.  
  5221. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-one/&quot;&gt;BBC One&lt;/a&gt; show has proved such popular daytime TV that it has been on air for more than 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  5222.  
  5223.  
  5224.  
  5225. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569488&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/17-11-2023-860315514.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569488&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;580&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Martin and interior design expert Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen on a Homes Under The Hammer celeb special[/caption]
  5226.  
  5227.  
  5228.  
  5229. &lt;p&gt;Martin said: “I used to not understand why we weren’t moved to a primetime slot, but I’ve realised being in daytime is more special.&lt;/p&gt;
  5230.  
  5231.  
  5232.  
  5233. &lt;p&gt;“We’re there for people at their lowest, when they’re off sick or things aren’t great. We have a special way to connect with people.&lt;/p&gt;
  5234.  
  5235.  
  5236.  
  5237. &lt;p&gt;“I had one woman on the show who was told by her dying mum to use her inheritance to buy a house and do as I told her. Which is exactly what she did. It was very humbling and we were all in tears on the shoot.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5238.  
  5239.  
  5240.  
  5241. &lt;p&gt;A key feature of Homes Under The Hammer is Martin using his construction experience to help ordinary people sort their houses safely.&lt;/p&gt;
  5242.  
  5243.  
  5244.  
  5245. &lt;p&gt;One of the first things he does when taking on a new property is check the boiler to make sure the home is &lt;span id=&quot;52292cec-542d-4225-82f3-9b2dccef4c9a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;gas&lt;/span&gt; safe — one of the reasons he has joined forces with the Gas Safe Register.&lt;/p&gt;
  5246.  
  5247.  
  5248.  
  5249. &lt;p&gt;“It’s mad to me that landlords have to get a boiler serviced yearly, but homeowners don’t,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  5250.  
  5251.  
  5252.  
  5253. &lt;p&gt;“Having a regular check would prevent these horrible stories about people dying from gas leaks or boilers not working properly.&lt;/p&gt;
  5254.  
  5255.  
  5256.  
  5257. &lt;p&gt;“Plus, it would probably save people &lt;span id=&quot;1446a459-e87d-4470-bf7a-c03fd71d8520&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt; in the long run as it’s less likely to break down or be faulty.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5353. &lt;li&gt;£1.308 billion (Powerball) on January 13 2016 in the US, for which three winning tickets were sold, remains history’s biggest lottery prize&lt;/li&gt;
  5354. &lt;li&gt;£1.267 billion (Mega Million) a winner from South Carolina took their time to come forward to claim their prize in March 2019 not long before the April deadline&lt;/li&gt;
  5355. &lt;li&gt;£633.76 million (Powerball draw) from a winner from Wisconsin&lt;/li&gt;
  5356. &lt;li&gt;£625.76 million (Powerball)&amp;nbsp; Mavis L. Wanczyk of Chicopee, Massachusetts claimed the jackpot in August 2017&lt;/li&gt;

They walked off with a cool £170,221,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  5375.  
  5376.

  5378. &lt;p&gt;Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in Scotland, netted a huge £161,653,000 in the July 12, 2011. &lt;/p&gt;

  5381.  
  5382. &lt;p&gt;Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Haverhill, Suffolk, picked up £148,656,000 after they played the draw on August, 10, 2012, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/2869309/jane-park-euromillions-prize-winner/&quot;&gt;Jane Park&lt;/a&gt; became Britain&amp;#8217;s youngest lottery winner when she scooped up £1 million in 2013.&lt;/p&gt;

  5413. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A HUNDRED migrants overpowered French cops yesterday morning to storm a beach and wade out to a “taxi boat” service — which sped them off to the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  5414.  
  5415.  
  5416.  
  5417. &lt;p&gt;The Sun was there to witness the scenes which saw hapless gendarmes fire tear gas in a desperate and ultimately failed bid to stop them.&lt;/p&gt;

  5430.  
  5431.  
  5432.  
  5433. &lt;p&gt;The migrants — mainly from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/vietnam/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Vietnam&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/sudan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sudan&lt;/a&gt; — then boarded the second craft and mockingly waved to officers as they started their six-hour journey to England.&lt;/p&gt;
  5434.  
  5435.  
  5436.  
  5437. &lt;p&gt;It was clear &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/france/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;French&lt;/a&gt; authorities are unable to cope with the sheer volume of boats, which insiders say &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gangsters-and-criminals/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;smugglers&lt;/a&gt; run like a “taxi service” across to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kent/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kent&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5438.  
  5439.  
  5440.  
  5441. &lt;p&gt;A French police source told us: “It’s an impossible task — there are just too many boats now. &lt;/p&gt;
  5442.  
  5443.  
  5444.  
  5445. &lt;p&gt;“It’s like playing whack-a-mole. &lt;/p&gt;
  5446.  
  5447.  
  5448.  
  5449. &lt;p&gt;“You stop one boat and then another arrives.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5450.  
  5451.  
  5452.  
  5453. &lt;p&gt;Our reporting team had seen the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uk-immigration-crisis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;migrants&lt;/a&gt; hiding in sand dunes in Gravelines, some ten miles from Calais, waiting for the first boat.&lt;/p&gt;
  5454.  
  5455.  
  5456.  
  5457. &lt;p&gt;Once the vessel approached the shore, cops instantly gave chase in two high-speed buggies, firing tear gas as they got closer.&lt;/p&gt;
  5458.  
  5459.  
  5460.  
  5461. &lt;p&gt;One middle-aged lady cried out as she struggled to board the inflatable dinghy, which was floundering under the immense weight of its human cargo.&lt;/p&gt;
  5462.  
  5463.  
  5464.  
  5465. &lt;p&gt;Men were thrown into the sea by people smugglers, who recognised they were being slowed down.&lt;/p&gt;
  5466.  
  5467.  
  5468.  
  5469. &lt;p&gt;Amid the panic, the waves brought the boat close to the shore, where one police officer managed to deflate it by stabbing its rubber hull with a knife.&lt;/p&gt;
  5470.  
  5471.  
  5472.  
  5473. &lt;p&gt;In the melee, men temporarily blinded by gas, tried to wash their faces in the sea, as others collapsed to the ground in coughing fits.&lt;/p&gt;

  5495.  
  5496.  
  5497. &lt;p&gt;One traveller, a teenager from Sudan, did not get up after washing onto the beach.&lt;/p&gt;
  5498.  
  5499.  
  5500.  
  5501. &lt;p&gt;His friend begged for an ambulance.&lt;/p&gt;
  5502.  
  5503.  
  5504.  
  5505. &lt;p&gt;He claimed he had been stabbed by a thief in a camp the night before.&lt;/p&gt;
  5506.  
  5507.  
  5508.  
  5509. &lt;p&gt;A policeman told us how two people smugglers were fighting for their lives after being shot last night during a gun battle over territory.&lt;/p&gt;
  5510.  
  5511.  
  5512.  
  5513. &lt;p&gt;Violence is rife in the “Jungle” — a 1,000-man tent slum a 15 minute drive away, where the majority of migrants live before attempting a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27481582/english-channel-horror-migrant-deaths/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Channel crossing.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5514.  
  5515.  
  5516.  
  5517. &lt;p&gt;He said: “There was a disagreement between groups fighting for control. &lt;/p&gt;
  5518.  
  5519.  
  5520.  
  5521. &lt;p&gt;“We have witnesses from Kurdistan who saw it unfold.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5522.  
  5523.  
  5524.  
  5525. &lt;p&gt;Such is the hell for many &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27486867/rwanda-rishi-migrants-killed-channel-crossing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;migrants&lt;/a&gt;, they are willing to risk their lives crossing to Britain.&lt;/p&gt;
  5526.  
  5527.  
  5528.  
  5529. &lt;p&gt;A sign on the beach informed us Dartford, Kent, was 143km away.&lt;/p&gt;
  5530.  
  5531.  
  5532.  
  5533. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Cat and mouse&lt;/h2&gt;
  5534.  
  5535.  
  5536.  
  5537. &lt;p&gt;Cops were pictured laughing after scuppering the first attempt yesterday morning — but the illegals had the last laugh after quickly regrouping and making for a new spot on the beach.&lt;/p&gt;
  5538.  
  5539.  
  5540.  
  5541. &lt;p&gt;A game of cat and mouse ensued, before the group of scores of men and a few women made a break for another boat on the shore.&lt;/p&gt;
  5542.  
  5543.  
  5544.  
  5545. &lt;p&gt;Despite the police’s efforts with tear gas, this time cops failed to stop the migrants, who boarded the vessel and made for England.&lt;/p&gt;
  5546.  
  5547.  
  5548.  
  5549. &lt;p&gt;Around five human traffickers, suspected of being from Kurdistan and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/iraq/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Iraq&lt;/a&gt;, orchestrated the boarding and casually made their way back to the dunes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5550.  
  5551.  
  5552.  
  5553. &lt;p&gt;Some of the Vietnamese passengers said they had paid £10,000 each to receive a VIP service from these men.&lt;/p&gt;
  5554.  
  5555.  
  5556.  
  5557. &lt;p&gt;But some gatecrashers from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/africa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Africa&lt;/a&gt; told us they paid nothing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5558.  
  5559.  
  5560.  
  5561. &lt;p&gt;The police simply looked on, making no arrests.&lt;/p&gt;
  5562.  
  5563.  
  5564.  
  5565. &lt;p&gt;Discarded items including trainers, bags and life jackets lay strewn across the beach, usually used by dog walkers, tourists and those on activity holidays.&lt;/p&gt;
  5566.  
  5567.  
  5568.  
  5569. &lt;p&gt;It comes just days after a doomed voyage in Wimereux, which led to the deaths of five migrants, including seven-year-old Sara from Kuwait.&lt;/p&gt;
  5570.  
  5571.  
  5572.  
  5573. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27512917/three-men-arrested-over-deaths-of-five-migrants/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Sun revealed she was on an overcrowded dinghy on Tuesday&lt;/a&gt; with her older brother, sister and her parents when tragedy struck a few hundred metres out to sea.&lt;/p&gt;
  5574.  
  5575.  
  5576.  
  5577. &lt;p&gt;Police said around 50 of 112 people aboard fell into the sea, with some pinned below the boat’s hull.&lt;/p&gt;
  5578.  
  5579.  
  5580.  
  5581. &lt;p&gt;It was the latest of several attempts the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kuwait/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kuwaiti&lt;/a&gt; family had made to try to reach Britain in a small boat.&lt;/p&gt;

  5590.  
  5591.  
  5592.  
  5593. &lt;p&gt;They are believed to be part of a larger Kuwaiti group who have been in northern France since before Christmas.&lt;/p&gt;
  5594.  
  5595.  
  5596.  
  5597. &lt;p&gt;Previous attempts to reach the UK illegally have been aborted due poor weather and a lack of space on a boat.&lt;/p&gt;
  5598.  
  5599.  
  5600.  
  5601. &lt;p&gt;Two 22-year-old men have been charged with immigration offences as part of an investigation into the deaths of the migrants, the National Crime Agency said.&lt;/p&gt;
  5602.  
  5603.  
  5604.  
  5605. &lt;p&gt;The two-mile long stretch of beach is perfect for migrants trying to dodge police.&lt;/p&gt;
  5606.  
  5607.  
  5608.  
  5609. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;Taxi service&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  5610.  
  5611.  
  5612.  
  5613. &lt;p&gt;And smugglers are using a new “taxi service” where they send a boat down the coast to pick up groups of travellers, rather than ordering them to carry boats from the beach to the sea.&lt;/p&gt;
  5614.  
  5615.  
  5616.  
  5617. &lt;p&gt;It allows migrants to run much faster and catch the authorities by surprise.&lt;/p&gt;
  5618.  
  5619.  
  5620.  
  5621. &lt;p&gt;Cops yesterday used high-speed vehicles and drones, but ultimately appeared powerless.&lt;/p&gt;
  5622.  
  5623.  
  5624.  
  5625. &lt;p&gt;A French Navy warship was seen in the distance, but did not react to the vessel as it left.&lt;/p&gt;
  5626.  
  5627.  
  5628.  
  5629. &lt;p&gt;Migrants used to only travel in the early hours of the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  5630.  
  5631.  
  5632.  
  5633. &lt;p&gt;But here they have become so brazen they continued until around 9am.&lt;/p&gt;

  5647.  
  5648.  
  5649.  
  5650. &lt;p&gt;A police officer told us how people smugglers are so confident of making the trip to Britain they have even started leaving in the afternoon.&lt;/p&gt;
  5651.  
  5652.  
  5653.  
  5654. &lt;p&gt;He said: “The migrants are now prepared to travel at any time of the day, depending on the weather.&lt;/p&gt;
  5655.  
  5656.  
  5657.  
  5658. &lt;p&gt;“They live in Dunkirk and Calais and come to Gravelines the night before and sleep in the forest. They are always excited to leave.&lt;/p&gt;
  5659.  
  5660.  
  5661.  
  5662. &lt;p&gt;“On Tuesday afternoon they took the boat into the canal and went out to the Channel.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5663.  
  5664.  
  5665.  
  5666. &lt;p&gt;Local residents tipped us off that migrants were hiding in the dunes nearby.&lt;/p&gt;
  5667.  
  5668.  
  5669.  
  5670. &lt;p&gt;When we visited, we found tarpaulin covers, ropes and oil drums.&lt;/p&gt;
  5671.  
  5672.  
  5673.  
  5674. &lt;p&gt;Tory MP Marco Longhi last night said: “French President Emmanuel Macron needs to get a grip on his police officers who are patrolling the beaches and put more effort into stopping the boats.&lt;/p&gt;
  5675.  
  5676.  
  5677.  
  5678. &lt;p&gt;“By evading the cops, these migrants are getting on board often unseaworthy boats at huge expense and risking their lives.”&lt;/p&gt;

  5700. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;WAYNE&amp;nbsp;ROONEY has blown away Alex Ferguson as the main man with a hairdryer&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; after&amp;nbsp;revealing an astonishing bed-time habit.&lt;/p&gt;
  5701.  
  5702.  
  5703.  
  5704. &lt;p&gt;The former England skipper admits he is an unusual kipper &amp;#8211; as he always sleeps&amp;nbsp;with a &lt;strong&gt;HAIRDRYER&lt;/strong&gt; switched on close by him.&lt;/p&gt;
  5705.  
  5706.  
  5707.  
  5708. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569768&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/5dec47a6-7eed-41cb-837e-48a05a27a571.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569768&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;716&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Wayne Rooney sleeps with a hairdryer and two fans blowing cold air&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5709.  
  5710.  
  5711.  
  5712. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569776&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 598px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9d46a31c-c0da-4d61-b5ec-4451d76d1d7c.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=588&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569776&quot; width=&quot;588&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Alex Ferguson had a cheaper version of the hairdryer&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;News Group Newspapers Ltd&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5713.  
  5714.  
  5715.  
  5716. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s no doubt &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wayne-rooney/&quot;&gt;Rooney&lt;/a&gt; is struggling&amp;nbsp;to match his legendary ex-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-alex-ferguson/&quot;&gt;Fergie&lt;/a&gt; in the dugout.&lt;/p&gt;
  5717.  
  5718.  
  5719.  
  5720. &lt;p&gt;But it&amp;#8217;s not a load of hot air to say he can beat the fiery Scotsman at his own game by creating an electric atmosphere in a less heated way.&lt;/p&gt;
  5721.  
  5722.  
  5723.  
  5724. &lt;p&gt;Fergie famously dished out the &amp;#8220;hairdryer treatment&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; blasting his United players at half-time if ever they were struggling.&lt;/p&gt;
  5725.  
  5726.  
  5727.  
  5728. &lt;p&gt;But Rooney takes his own, far more expensive version to the opposite extreme&amp;nbsp; &amp;#8211; as he only uses COLD air!&lt;/p&gt;
  5729.

  5740. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have it on cold. On my kids&amp;#8217; lives, I sleep with the hairdryer on and it&amp;#8217;s in the bed right next to me blowing on my head.&lt;/p&gt;

  5760. &lt;p&gt;And the former striker&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;in-game team-mates, such as Angry Ginge and Pieface, joked that his&amp;nbsp;strange bed-time requirement suggests he&amp;#8217;s suffering from &amp;#8220;PTSD of Fergie shouting at you&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5803. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;JOHN Torode and Gregg Wallace were left less than impressed when a MasterChef contestant served them an undercooked dish.&lt;/p&gt;
  5804.

  5806.  
  5807. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BBC One&lt;/a&gt; cooking competition continued on Friday night with the quarter-finals.&lt;/p&gt;

  5820.  
  5821.  
  5822.  
  5823. &lt;p&gt;Each contestant was tasked with creating a dish that celebrates cheese, with an appearance from April Jackson.&lt;/p&gt;
  5824.  
  5825.  
  5826.  
  5827. &lt;p&gt;Admin officer Louise opted to make a blue cheese and pear pastry tart.&lt;/p&gt;
  5828.  
  5829.  
  5830.  
  5831. &lt;p&gt;She served it to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gregg-wallace/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gregg &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/john-torode/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;John &lt;/a&gt;along with honey roasted pecans, a pear salad and pear gel.&lt;/p&gt;
  5832.  
  5833.  
  5834.  
  5835. &lt;p&gt;However, moments after John bit into the dish he discovered it wasn&amp;#8217;t fully cooked.&lt;/p&gt;
  5836.  
  5837.  
  5838.  
  5839. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That pastry in the middle of it was just not quite cooked enough,&amp;#8221; he remarked.&lt;/p&gt;
  5840.  
  5841.  
  5842.  
  5843. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;It just needs a bit longer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5844.  
  5845.  
  5846.  
  5847. &lt;p&gt;But Gregg had a completely different complaint, telling Louise: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t think you&amp;#8217;ve got enough of that blue cheese in there.&lt;/p&gt;
  5848.  
  5849.  
  5850.  
  5851. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I can get the sweetness of the pear, but not enough salty gooeyness of that cheese.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5852.  
  5853.  
  5854.  
  5855. &lt;p&gt;Louise was left-red faced from the mishap and told the cameras: &amp;#8220;To know that the pastry was undercooked and I had a bit of time is a bit frustrating.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5856.  
  5857.  
  5858.  
  5859. &lt;p&gt;But the error cost Louise her place in the competition and she was eliminated along with James.&lt;/p&gt;
  5860.  
  5861.  
  5862.  
  5863. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/masterchef/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;MasterChef &lt;/a&gt;continues on BBC One and iPlayer.&lt;/p&gt;

  5894. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;EVERY woman with hooded eyes knows the feeling of following a makeup tutorial to no avail.&lt;/p&gt;
  5895.  
  5896.  
  5897.  
  5898. &lt;p&gt;A beauty pro demonstrated the trick she uses to create a wider and more open look. &lt;/p&gt;
  5899.  
  5900.  
  5901.  
  5902. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569816&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 548px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/dont-need-much-eyeliner-everyones-896953645.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=538&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569816&quot; width=&quot;538&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;instagram/rachelbowling&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Instagram user Rachel Bowling showed her followers how she applies makeup to her hooded eyes[/caption]
  5903.  
  5904.  
  5905.  
  5906. &lt;p&gt;In her viral &lt;a aria-label=&quot;video (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4T8JOWRb2n/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;, Rachel Bowling (&lt;a aria-label=&quot;@rachelbowling (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/rachelbowling/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;@rachelbowling&lt;/a&gt;) talked her followers through each step of her eye makeup process.&lt;/p&gt;
  5907.  
  5908.  
  5909.  
  5910. &lt;p&gt;Before she began, the Instagrammer gave her audience a look at her bare eyes for comparison later.&lt;/p&gt;
  5911.  
  5912.  
  5913.  
  5914. &lt;p&gt;For her first step, Rachel used her finger to apply eyeshadow to her eyelids.&lt;/p&gt;
  5915.  
  5916.  
  5917.  
  5918. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Use a light shimmer on the inner corner,&amp;#8221; she advised her followers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5919.  
  5920.  
  5921.  
  5922. &lt;p&gt;Next, she moved on to applying eyeliner but warned her audience not to make a common mistake.&lt;/p&gt;
  5923.  
  5924.  
  5925.  
  5926. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Only apply liner on the outer corner of the eye and pull it up towards the tail of the eyebrow,&amp;#8221; she explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  5927.  
  5928.  
  5929.  
  5930. &lt;p&gt;While most tutorials involve drawing your eyeliner across your entire lash line, Rachel recommended those with hooded eyes skip this step.&lt;/p&gt;
  5931.  
  5932.  
  5933.  
  5934. &lt;p&gt;For her next step, she demonstrated the best technique to use for your eyeshadow.&lt;/p&gt;
  5935.  
  5936.  
  5937.  
  5938. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Take a dense brush and apply a darker matte shade,&amp;#8221; she said as she carried out the move.&lt;/p&gt;
  5939.  
  5940.  
  5941.  
  5942. &lt;p&gt;She suggested &amp;#8220;concentrating on the outer corner and working your way in.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5967.  
  5968.  
  5969.  
  5970. &lt;p&gt;For her final step, she focused on adding length and volume to her lashes.&lt;/p&gt;

  5974. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Apply mascara to the upper and lower lashes and curl,&amp;#8221; she advised her viewers.&lt;/p&gt;

  6013.  
  6014.  
  6015.  
  6016. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When your eyes are open, this skin droops down over your eyelid, essentially tucking your lid into your crease. &lt;/p&gt;
  6017.  
  6018.  
  6019.  
  6020. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you can’t see your natural crease or your eyelid when your eyes are open, you likely have hooded eyes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6021.  
  6022.  
  6023.  
  6024. &lt;p&gt;Instagram users shared their thoughts on the tips in the comments section.&lt;/p&gt;
  6025.  
  6026.  
  6027.  
  6028. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This was extremely helpful. Everyone mentions &amp;#8216;hooded eyes&amp;#8217; but no one ever explained what that means. Your physical demo made it clear,&amp;#8221; said one viewer.&lt;/p&gt;
  6029.  
  6030.  
  6031.  
  6032. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes!!! Thank you! Hooded girls get no attention,&amp;#8221; wrote another impressed follower.&lt;/p&gt;
  6033.  
  6034.  
  6035.  
  6036. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you for the tip. I’m 60 and have bad hooded eyes. I need help,&amp;#8221; commented a third person.&lt;/p&gt;
  6037.  
  6038.  
  6039.  
  6040. &lt;p&gt;Other viewers heaped on the praise for Rachel&amp;#8217;s heated eyelash curler.&lt;/p&gt;
  6041.  
  6042.  
  6043.  
  6044. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ve never found anything that actually works in my eyelashes to curl them. I would love to try it out,&amp;#8221; said one follower.&lt;/p&gt;
  6045.  
  6046.  
  6047.  
  6048. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve never curled my lashes but it makes a huge difference so I want to try it. Thanks,&amp;#8221; wrote another person.&lt;/p&gt;
  6049.  
  6050.  
  6051.  
  6052. &lt;p&gt;One Instagram user called the heated eyelash curler an &amp;#8220;impressive&amp;#8221; tool.&lt;/p&gt;
  6053.  
  6054.

  6077. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;THREE years after their last release, rock legends Motley Crue are back with a growling new tune, Dogs Of War.&lt;/p&gt;
  6078.  
  6079.  
  6080.  
  6081. &lt;p&gt;The group, now made up of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/15146557/motley-crue-vince-neil-daughter-tommy-lee/&quot;&gt;Vince Neil&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5736025/tommy-lee-where-is-now/&quot;&gt;Tommy Lee&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/video/music/8534802/motley-crue-rocker-nikki-sixx-60-reveals-all-to-bizarre-ahead-of-the-release-of-new-netflix-film-the-dirt/&quot;&gt;Nikki Six&lt;/a&gt; and John 5, dropped the new song yesterday after signing a major new deal with Big Machine Records.&lt;/p&gt;
  6082.  
  6083.  
  6084.  
  6085. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568989&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/ross-halfin-896910309.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568989&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;690&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Ross Halfin&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Mötley Crüe’s new album has a surprising source of inspiration — feminist TV show The Handmaid’s Tale[/caption]
  6086.  
  6087.  
  6088.  
  6089. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568990&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/nina-kiri-elisabeth-moss-womens-442646241.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568990&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Song Dogs Of War was inspired by the hit Channel 4 series starring Elizabeth Moss[/caption]
  6090.  
  6091.  
  6092.  
  6093. &lt;p&gt;And while the ferocious track is steeped in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/8535272/motley-crues-wild-years-150-prostitute-orgy-heroin-overdoses-dying-coming-back-life-revealed-new-film/&quot;&gt;Motley&lt;/a&gt; sounds, the band’s co-founder Nikki said he got inspiration for the song from something totally unexpected.&lt;/p&gt;
  6094.  
  6095.  
  6096.  
  6097. &lt;p&gt;“I was watching &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-handmaids-tale/&quot;&gt;A Handmaid’s Tale&lt;/a&gt;,” Nikki explains.&lt;/p&gt;
  6098.  
  6099.  
  6100.  
  6101. &lt;p&gt;“There was a phrase in Latin that said, ‘Don’t let those b******s grind you down’.&lt;/p&gt;
  6102.  
  6103.  
  6104.  
  6105. &lt;p&gt;“So I wrote it all, and then came back to the studio and I was like, ‘Hey, what about this?’”&lt;/p&gt;
  6106.  
  6107.  
  6108.  
  6109. &lt;p&gt;John added: “He had all the lyrics and the melody done, and sang it over the drum beat, and I was like, ‘That’s really impressive’.&lt;/p&gt;
  6110.  
  6111.  
  6112.  
  6113. &lt;p&gt;“It’s very cool to be in a room with that much creativity flying around.&lt;/p&gt;
  6114.  
  6115.  
  6116.  
  6117. &lt;p&gt;“So it all came really quick, and we had a great time doing it – and a lot of laughs.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6118.  
  6119.  
  6120.  
  6121. &lt;p&gt;John 5 joined the group after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/24597233/huge-90s-star-surprise-return-music/&quot;&gt;Mick Mars’ messy departure&lt;/a&gt; two years ago, which has them now locked in a rather unsavoury legal row.&lt;/p&gt;
  6122.  
  6123.  
  6124.  
  6125. &lt;p&gt;While the band insisted in statements that they only have love for Mick, who said he wanted to step back from touring over health issues, he claims his bandmates ousted him from the group entirely.&lt;/p&gt;
  6126.  
  6127.  
  6128.  
  6129. &lt;p&gt;Putting that behind them, the group are now focused solely on new music and worked with their long-time producer Bob Rock for the record.&lt;/p&gt;
  6130.  
  6131.

  6150.  
  6151.  
  6152.  
  6153. &lt;p&gt;And although Nikki said creating the tune was simple, they ran into trouble when Bob suggested they lay down some lead vocals – a job usually reserved for Vince.&lt;/p&gt;
  6154.  
  6155.  
  6156.  
  6157. &lt;p&gt;Nikki said: “He goes, ‘You, Tommy and John are all going to sing a lead vocal, and then we’re going to have Vince join you.&lt;/p&gt;
  6158.  
  6159.  
  6160.  
  6161. &lt;p&gt;“I said no. I think all you could hear were my knees knocking.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6162.  
  6163.  
  6164.  
  6165. &lt;p&gt;In the end, and after some persuasion, the lads did give it a go and Dogs Of War sounds great for it.&lt;/p&gt;
  6166.  
  6167.  
  6168.  
  6169. &lt;p&gt;After forming in 1981, Motley have now sold over 100 million records worldwide and have no plans to slow down.&lt;/p&gt;
  6170.  
  6171.  
  6172.  
  6173. &lt;p&gt;But could they go on for as long as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/15659620/rolling-stones-members-mick-jagger/&quot;&gt;The Rolling Stones&lt;/a&gt;, who are preparing to kick off a massive tour in the US on Sunday night?&lt;/p&gt;
  6174.  
  6175.  
  6176.  
  6177. &lt;p&gt;“It depends on the medical and technology,” Nikki laughed.&lt;/p&gt;
  6178.  
  6179.  
  6180.  
  6181. &lt;p&gt;“They could maybe cut our heads off, and put us on new bodies.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6194.  
  6195.  
  6196.  
  6197. &lt;p&gt;The 21-year-old has been accused of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27533256/jess-gale-accused-callum-jones-cheating-love-island-rival/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;having a fling&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/callum-jones/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Callum Jones&lt;/a&gt; while he was still in a relationship with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jess-gale/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jess Gale&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  6210.  
  6211.  
  6212.  
  6213. &lt;p&gt;And on a girl&amp;#8217;s night out this week &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/anna-may-robey/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Anna&lt;/a&gt; accidentally set fire to her £2,000 Miu Miu bag. &lt;/p&gt;
  6214.  
  6215.  
  6216.  
  6217. &lt;p&gt;Taking to Instagram to share a snap of the designer item perched on a table near some candles, she wrote: &amp;#8220;Right before my bag went up in flames.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  6218.  
  6219.  
  6220.  
  6221. &lt;p&gt;Anna then shared a clip of her looking unimpressed while using a tap in the bathroom to extinguish the fire, revealing the charred remains. &lt;/p&gt;
  6222.  
  6223.  
  6224.  
  6225. &lt;p&gt;Callum, 27, split from Jess, 24, split last month after they were seen having &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26968318/love-island-jess-gale-callum-jones-split-public-row/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;a huge bust-up at his ex Molly Smith&amp;#8217;s Boohoo launch&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6226.  
  6227.  
  6228.  
  6229. &lt;p&gt;In a recent interview with The Sun Jess cryptically described Callum&amp;#8217;s actions during their short relationship as &amp;#8220;unforgivable&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6230.  
  6231.  
  6232.  
  6233. &lt;p&gt;It was later reported that she&amp;#8217;d discovered he had a secret fling with Anna, who shot to fame on the winter edition of the show last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  6234.  
  6235.  
  6236.  
  6237. &lt;p&gt;A source told the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13348613/The-REAL-reason-Jess-Gales-split-Callum-Jones-revealed-hes-accused-cheating-Love-Island-star.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mail&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;She had learned of Callum&amp;#8217;s fling with Anna-May, which came as a complete surprise to her, as far as Jess knew she and Callum were trying to make their romance work outside of the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  6238.  
  6239.  
  6240.  
  6241. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was embarrassing how it all played out at a party and Callum proceeded to rub salt in the wound by leaving the venue holding another girl&amp;#8217;s hand.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6242.  
  6243.  
  6244.  
  6245. &lt;p&gt;Discussing their split, Jess told us: &amp;#8220;It didn’t fizzle out, things happened and there was this thing at Molly [Smith&amp;#8217;s] clothing event.&lt;/p&gt;

  6284. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;BRITAIN&amp;#8217;S Got Talent winner Richard Jones has given his frank opinion on this year&amp;#8217;s magic act Jack Rhodes. &lt;/p&gt;
  6285.  
  6286.  
  6287.  
  6288. &lt;p&gt;Jack wowed the audience last weekend as he performed a jaw-dropping routine for judges &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/simon-cowell/&quot;&gt;Simon Cowell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/amanda-holden/&quot;&gt;Amanda Holden&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alesha-dixon/&quot;&gt;Alesha Dixon&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bruno-tonioli/&quot;&gt;Bruno Tonioli&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  6300. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569534&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 330px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/i-m-magician-ever-win-896959086.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=320&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569534&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;515&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The magician has spotted Jack&amp;#8217;s advantage in the competition[/caption]
  6301.  
  6302.  
  6303.  
  6304. &lt;p&gt;As the popular show made a comeback, Jack&amp;#8217;s clever audition saw him correctly predict that Simon would write &amp;#8216;cucumber&amp;#8217; on a blank card six months previously. &lt;/p&gt;
  6305.  
  6306.  
  6307.  
  6308. &lt;p&gt;He magically switched it with a card saying &amp;#8216;minted&amp;#8217; that was sandwiched in between Bruno&amp;#8217;s hands, before throwing some comedy into his routine too.  &lt;/p&gt;
  6309.  
  6310.  
  6311.  
  6312. &lt;p&gt;In a twist, Jack had a pal dressed entirely in black to explain how the cards were switched &amp;#8220;undetected&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6313.  
  6314.  
  6315.  
  6316. &lt;p&gt;He also left the judges bemused after convincing them he was behind the act The Phantom from 2022. He later revealed it wasn&amp;#8217;t him. &lt;/p&gt;
  6317.  
  6318.  
  6319.  
  6320. &lt;p&gt;Taking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, 2016 champion Richard has given his opinion on Jack following his impressive audition. &lt;/p&gt;
  6321.  
  6322.  
  6323.  
  6324. &lt;p&gt;Although he is not certain he has what it takes to win, the 33-year-old Essex magician has clocked Jack&amp;#8217;s huge advantage. &lt;/p&gt;
  6325.  
  6326.  
  6327.  
  6328. &lt;p&gt;In a live reaction video, Richard described the act as a &amp;#8220;genius&amp;#8221; for predicting that the edit team would &amp;#8216;stop time&amp;#8217; at the right moment.&lt;/p&gt;
  6329.  
  6330.  
  6331.  
  6332. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;I like him, he&amp;#8217;s going to do well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6333.  
  6334.  
  6335.  
  6336. &lt;p&gt;The star, who served in the Army for six years, went on: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve realised he has a massive following on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youtube/&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; and social media because he does really funny edits. &lt;/p&gt;
  6337.  
  6338.  
  6339.  
  6340. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When people go on the show who already have hundreds and thousands of followers and fans, that&amp;#8217;s great for someone in BGT.&lt;/p&gt;

  6364. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I assume he&amp;#8217;s definitely going to do well if he gets to the final. He&amp;#8217;s got a big following that will be voting for him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6365.  
  6366.  
  6367.  
  6368. &lt;p&gt;Richard concluded: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s so nice to see magic that lots of magicians do but performed in a completely fresh and different way.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6369.  
  6370.  
  6371.  
  6372. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for Richard, the act he would have tipped to win was sent home by the judges. &lt;/p&gt;

  6389. Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent has been thrilling fans since it burst onto the scene in 2007. &lt;/p&gt;
  6391. &lt;div&gt;
  6392. &lt;p&gt;Here we take a look at all the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/9673874/britains-got-talent-every-winner-bgt/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BGT winners&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; from the first ever one to the most recent:&lt;/p&gt;

  6396. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2010 &amp;#8211; Spellbound: &lt;/strong&gt;Gymnastic troupe Spellbound really impressed judge &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3305857/simon-cowell-net-worth&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Simon Cowell&lt;/a&gt; with their stunning routines and incredible stunts in 2010. At the time, the music mogul said: “I can only say on live television that was one of the most astonishing things I have ever seen.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6397. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2011 &amp;#8211; Jai McDowall:&lt;/strong&gt; Viewers were stunned when &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/9586248/britains-got-talent-the-champions-jai-mcdowall-replaces-susan-boyle/&quot;&gt;Jai McDowall&lt;/a&gt; won the show in 2011, as young singer Ronan Parke was the favourite to win the series.&lt;/p&gt;

The squad had taken part in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/germany/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;German&lt;/a&gt; version of BGT in 2012, however, they had only placed seventh.&lt;/p&gt;

  6401. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2015 &amp;#8211; Jules O’Dwyer &amp;amp; Matisse:&lt;/strong&gt; Dog lovers everywhere could&amp;#8217;t get enough of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/118712/jules-odwyer-and-matisse-win-bgt/&quot;&gt;Jules O’Dwyer and pet pup Matisse&lt;/a&gt;.

However, he defied the odds and is a BGT champ.&lt;/p&gt;
  6405. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2019 &amp;#8211; Colin Thackery: &lt;/strong&gt;Veteran army officer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/9052587/colin-thackery-britains-got-talent-champions/&quot;&gt;Colin Thackery&lt;/a&gt; warmed the nations hearts with his singing voice.

  6414.  
  6415.  
  6416. &lt;p&gt;Bobby failed to impress the judges with his &amp;#8216;memory like a goldfish&amp;#8217; routine, but Richard would have put him through. &lt;/p&gt;
  6417.  
  6418.  
  6419.  
  6420. &lt;p&gt;As his audition began, Richard said: &amp;#8220;This guy needs to win! He&amp;#8217;s going to be good, for sure. He&amp;#8217;s already got my vote.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6421.  
  6422.  
  6423.  
  6424. &lt;p&gt;But as things went rapidly downhill, Richard&amp;#8217;s face fell: &amp;#8220;Oh no!&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  6425.  
  6426.  
  6427.  
  6428. &lt;p&gt;Despite Bobby receiving four red &amp;#8216;Xs&amp;#8217;, Richard still admitted: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;d like him to come back in a future episode.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6429.  
  6430.  
  6431.  
  6432. &lt;p&gt;Richard now works as a full time magician after beating off competition from singers, dancers, a sword swallower and a dog act eight years ago.  &lt;/p&gt;
  6433.  
  6434.  
  6435.  
  6436. &lt;p&gt;Following his win, Lance Corporal Jones performed as a bandsman in the&amp;nbsp;Trooping the Colour, as part of the 90th birthday celebrations of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/the-queen/&quot;&gt;Queen Elizabeth II&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6437.  
  6438.  
  6439.  
  6440. &lt;p&gt;Later that year, he took to the stage at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/royal-variety-performance/&quot;&gt;Royal Variety Performance&lt;/a&gt; in London. &lt;/p&gt;

  6472. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JULIO PLEGUEZUELO came through the youth systems of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona and has played for Arsenal.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6473.  
  6474.  
  6475.  
  6476. &lt;p&gt;But this weekend the 27-year-old defender and Plymouth are fighting for their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/championship/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Championship&lt;/a&gt; lives at Millwall.&lt;/p&gt;
  6477.  
  6478.  
  6479.  
  6480. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569596&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/final-whistle-celebrations-julio-pleguezuelo-893691801.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569596&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;635&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Julio Pleguezuelo is excited by Plymouth&amp;#8217;s survival bid[/caption]
  6481.  
  6482.  
  6483.  
  6484. &lt;p&gt;The Pilgrims are two points above the bottom three and know victory at The Den should be enough to secure them another season in the second tier after winning promotion last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  6485.  
  6486.  
  6487.  
  6488. &lt;p&gt;Pleguezuelo has had some glittering football heritage and was an eye-opening summer signing from Dutch side FC Twente.&lt;/p&gt;
  6489.  
  6490.  
  6491.  
  6492. &lt;p&gt;But now the equation is simple — win on Saturday or next week against Hull — or face life in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;League One&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6493.  
  6494.  
  6495.  
  6496. &lt;p&gt;The defender said: “We definitely feel the pressure. We know what’s at stake but at the same time I wouldn’t trade our position with the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield or Birmingham. It’s in our own hands.&lt;/p&gt;
  6497.  
  6498.  
  6499.  
  6500. &lt;p&gt;“It’s going to be two difficult games but the mood has been good, the lads have been training well so we have to approach the game as we always do and try to get the three points.&lt;/p&gt;
  6501.  
  6502.  
  6503.  
  6504. &lt;p&gt;“Millwall is going to be hostile, I expect probably not pretty football and it’ll be their last home game, so they’ll want to put on a show for their fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  6505.  
  6506.  
  6507.  
  6508. &lt;p&gt;“But we have got to stand up to that and get a positive result.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6509.  
  6510.  
  6511.  
  6512. &lt;p&gt;While Pleguezuelo would have come through at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1232720/barcelona/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt; as a kid dreaming of one day playing in El Clasico, the Spaniard says these games where Championship status is at stake are the ones that get the juices flowing.&lt;/p&gt;

  6529. By Dave Kidd &lt;/p&gt;
  6531. &lt;div&gt;
  6532. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN Manchester United got lucky in their FA Cup semi-final, Antony’s first instinct was to goad heartbroken opponents Coventry. To rub their noses in the dirt.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6533. &lt;p&gt;Antony seems to be a vile individual but this isn’t really about Antony. Because Antony is merely a symptom of the hideous sickness within England’s top flight.&lt;/p&gt;
  6534. &lt;p&gt;There is so much wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  6535. &lt;p&gt;After our elite clubs persuaded the FA to completely scrap Cup replays — which gave us Ronnie Radford and Ricky Villa and Ryan Giggs — without due recompense or reasoning with the rest of English football.&lt;/p&gt;
  6536. &lt;p&gt;The previous day, after his Manchester City side had defeated Chelsea in the other FA Cup semi-final, Pep Guardiola whinged about the fixture scheduling of TV companies who effectively pay much of his £20m salary.&lt;/p&gt;
  6537. &lt;p&gt;Up at Wolves, Guardiola’s friend and rival Mikel Arteta was playing the same sad song about fixture congestion, despite his Arsenal side having played two fewer games this season than Coventry — who don’t have £50m squad players to rotate with.&lt;/p&gt;
  6538. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea, oh Chelsea. The one-time plaything of a Russian oligarch now owned by financially incontinent venture capitalists who have piddled £1billion on a squad of players who fight like weasels in a sack about who should bask in the personal glory of scoring the penalty that puts them 5-0 up against Everton.&lt;/p&gt;
  6539. &lt;p&gt;Read &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27477020/man-utd-antony-coventry-premier-league-fa-cup/&quot;&gt;Dave Kidd&amp;#8217;s full column as he takes aim at Nottingham Forest, Fulham&amp;#8217;s ticket prices, the 39th game, VAR and much more&lt;/a&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;
  6540. &lt;/div&gt;
  6541. &lt;/div&gt;
  6542. &lt;/div&gt;
  6544.  
  6545.  
  6546.  
  6547. &lt;p&gt;He said: “Where there is more at stake you kind of focus more and play better because if you play a match where you have nothing to play for, it’s not the same.&lt;/p&gt;
  6548.  
  6549.  
  6550.  
  6551. &lt;p&gt;“There’s pressure but it’s a good type, so hopefully we can get over the line.”&lt;/p&gt;

  6570. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  6572.  
  6573.  
  6574.  
  6575. &lt;p&gt;Pleguezuelo was signed by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt; as a 16-year-old from Barcelona and at that time he was chased by many clubs, including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Manchester City&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6576.  
  6577.  
  6578.  
  6579. &lt;p&gt;But despite spending six years with the Gunners, he only made one senior appearance — playing the full 90 minutes in a 3-1 EFL Cup win against Blackpool in 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
  6580.  
  6581.  
  6582.  
  6583. &lt;p&gt;And after four years at FC Twente, this is his first full season in senior English football.&lt;/p&gt;
  6584.  
  6585.  
  6586.  
  6587. &lt;p&gt;He said: “For the first season in a league like the Championship, I’ve done well.&lt;/p&gt;
  6588.  
  6589.  
  6590.  
  6591. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve come from a completely different league after four years and I’ve adapted well to the game here.&lt;/p&gt;
  6592.  
  6593.  
  6594.  
  6595. &lt;p&gt;“The Championship is one of the best leagues in the world and Plymouth and myself have done well.&lt;/p&gt;
  6596.  
  6597.  
  6598.  
  6599. &lt;p&gt;“This division isn’t the same as it was before.&lt;/p&gt;
  6600.  
  6601.  
  6602.  
  6603. &lt;p&gt;“Teams have realised they have to adapt their style because probably long-ball doesn’t cut it any more.&lt;/p&gt;
  6604.  
  6605.  
  6606.  
  6607. &lt;p&gt;“But some things can still be useful in the Championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  6608.  
  6609.  
  6610.  
  6611. &lt;p&gt;“It’s definitely nice to see more teams trying to play attacking football.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6612.  
  6613.  
  6614.  
  6615. &lt;p&gt;Pleguezuelo holds the distinction of being Plymouth’s first and only Spanish player — and although he has spent most of his life in big cities, he is loving life on the Devon coast.&lt;/p&gt;
  6616.  
  6617.  
  6618.  
  6619. &lt;p&gt;He added: “I’ve lived in London since I was 16 and obviously Plymouth is different to London but it has been a good season for me in the South West. I love the city, the club, the fans and I am having a great time.&lt;/p&gt;
  6620.  
  6621.  
  6622.  
  6623. &lt;p&gt;“My family lives in London, so I go back to see them most of the time, so I get both lives.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6624.  
  6625.  
  6626.  
  6627. &lt;p&gt;One player who is destined to go on to bigger things is Pilgrims forward Morgan Whittaker, 23, who has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25591915/lazio-plymouth-argyle-morgan-whittaker-transfer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;attracted interest from Italians Lazio&lt;/a&gt; and Portuguese club Sporting.&lt;/p&gt;
  6628.  
  6629.  
  6630.  
  6631. &lt;p&gt;There are sure to be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; suitors this summer too for the 20-goal ace.&lt;/p&gt;
  6632.  
  6633.  
  6634.  
  6635. &lt;p&gt;Pleguezuelo said: “He’s a great player and has been massive for us.&lt;/p&gt;
  6636.  
  6637.  
  6638.  
  6639. &lt;p&gt;“We know it will be difficult to keep him but hopefully he can help us in these last two games get over the line.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6640.  
  6641.  
  6642.  
  6643. &lt;p&gt;Millwall have confirmed Polish keeper Bartosz Bialkowski, 36, will leave the club after five years this summer once his contract expires.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6661. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;RISING pet costs are heaping harrowing pressure on thousands of owners.&lt;/p&gt;
  6662.  
  6663.  
  6664.  
  6665. &lt;p&gt;One in four is concerned that they can no longer afford to care for their dog or cat.&lt;/p&gt;
  6666.  
  6667.  
  6668.  
  6669. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27549968&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/7774996a-c403-42a0-a9c0-9b14bedaf5f9.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=690&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27549968&quot; width=&quot;690&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Anxiety expert Tam Johnston, 49, from Brighton, saves £40 a month by grooming her cavapoochon, Darcie, herself&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  6670.  
  6671.  
  6672.  
  6673. &lt;p&gt;One in six owners is considering rehoming a pet, while one in eight is considering selling a pet, or giving it away to a shelter charity, according to Tesco Bank research.&lt;/p&gt;
  6674.  
  6675.  
  6676.  
  6677. &lt;p&gt;You may end up spending around £16,000 over a larger dog’s lifetime, according to the PDSA, or at least £11,100 for a cat.&lt;/p&gt;
  6678.  
  6679.  
  6680.  
  6681. &lt;p&gt;But you can cut your costs without sacrificing your pet’s welfare. &lt;/p&gt;
  6682.  
  6683.  
  6684.  
  6685. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MEL HUNTER&lt;/strong&gt; finds out how.&lt;/p&gt;
  6686.  
  6687.

  6697. &lt;p&gt;IT can cost £600 a year to feed a medium to large dog. But are you paying over the odds?&lt;/p&gt;

  6701. &lt;p&gt;In a Which? survey of dog owners, where Burns Original, £14.99 for 2kg, came top, Aldi’s Earls &amp;nbsp;Complete, &amp;nbsp;£2.89 for a 3kg, came third.&lt;/p&gt;
  6702.  
  6703.  
  6704.  
  6705. &lt;p&gt;Nicole Paley from the UK Pet Food Association says: “Choose a ‘complete’ diet appropriate to the pet’s life-stage. &lt;/p&gt;
  6706.  
  6707.  
  6708.  
  6709. &lt;p&gt;“All ‘complete’ pet foods are subject to the same stringent legislation.”&lt;/p&gt;

  6734.  
  6735.  
  6736.  
  6737. &lt;p&gt;THERE was nearly a 50 per cent rise in online searches for low-cost or free veterinary care from the start of 2022 to the end of 2023, according to the PDSA.&lt;/p&gt;
  6738.  
  6739.  
  6740.  
  6741. &lt;p&gt;That’s amid concerns that pet owners are not getting a good deal from vets, following an initial review by the Competition and Markets Authority.&lt;/p&gt;
  6742.  
  6743.  
  6744.  
  6745. &lt;p&gt;The best way to save &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; is to prevent problems, so don’t scrimp on care such as worming, flea treatments and neutering.&lt;/p&gt;
  6746.  
  6747.  
  6748.  
  6749. &lt;p&gt;The charity Cats Protection offers a £10 neutering and microchipping service to people receiving certain means-tested benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  6750.  
  6751.  
  6752.  
  6753. &lt;p&gt;However, due to “unprecedented volume of requests”, with more than 100,000 vouchers issued in early 2024, some aspects of the scheme are paused.&lt;/p&gt;
  6754.  
  6755.  
  6756.  
  6757. &lt;p&gt;If you are having problems affording care, talk to your vet about it, says Alison Thomas, Head of Veterinary Standards at Blue Cross.&lt;/p&gt;
  6758.  
  6759.  
  6760.  
  6761. &lt;p&gt;“Be honest about any cost challenges early on and ask if there is a cheaper alternative treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  6762.  
  6763.  
  6764.  
  6765. &lt;p&gt;“Instead of getting your medication from the vet, ask them to write a prescription that you can take to an online animal pharmacy. &lt;/p&gt;
  6766.  
  6767.  
  6768.  
  6769. &lt;p&gt;“Even though the vet will charge a fee, it should still work out less expensive.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6770.  
  6771.  
  6772.  
  6773. &lt;p&gt;Try&amp;nbsp;mypetsvet.co.uk,&amp;nbsp;animeddirect.co.uk&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;petdrugsonline.co.uk.&lt;/p&gt;
  6774.  
  6775.  
  6776.  
  6777. &lt;p&gt;Thomas says: “Some vets may also offer a payment plan so if your pet needs emergency treatment, you could pay it off over a number of months.&lt;/p&gt;
  6778.  
  6779.  
  6780.  
  6781. &lt;p&gt;“They may also have schemes where you pay a certain amount a month to spread regular costs such as worming treatments and vaccinations. &lt;/p&gt;
  6782.  
  6783.  
  6784.  
  6785. &lt;p&gt;“Check if it’s value for money.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6786.  
  6787.  
  6788.  
  6789. &lt;p&gt;If you receive certain benefits, you may also qualify for some free or lower cost pet care via Blue Cross or PDSA. &lt;/p&gt;
  6790.  
  6791.  
  6792.  
  6793. &lt;p&gt;PDSA vet Catherine Burke said: “We’d encourage pet owners concerned about being able to afford veterinary treatment, to reach out to us. &lt;/p&gt;
  6794.  
  6795.  
  6796.  
  6797. &lt;p&gt;“We believe no pet should suffer due to poverty.”&lt;/p&gt;

Use a comparison site to see which offers the cheapest cover for your needs[/caption]
  6806.  
  6807.  
  6808.  
  6809. &lt;p&gt;THE average cost of annual pet &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/insurance/&quot;&gt;insurance&lt;/a&gt; is around £330 a year, according to the Association of British Insurers latest figures.&lt;/p&gt;
  6810.  
  6811.  
  6812.  
  6813. &lt;p&gt;Insurance is complex, with different levels of cover. Use a comparison site to see which offers the cheapest cover for your needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  6814.  
  6815.  
  6816.  
  6817. &lt;p&gt;According to confused.com, currently the cheapest comparable lifetime policy — the highest level of cover — for a cat or dog is around £5 a month, rising to around £34.&lt;/p&gt;
  6818.  
  6819.  
  6820.  
  6821. &lt;p&gt;Faith Tagg, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pet-insurance/&quot;&gt;pet insurance&lt;/a&gt; expert at the site, says owners could consider a policy with a higher excess, paying less for the insurance, but more up front if treatment is needed.&lt;/p&gt;
  6822.  
  6823.  
  6824.  
  6825. &lt;p&gt;She adds: “If you have more than one pet, a multi-pet policy could also help to keep costs down. &lt;/p&gt;
  6826.  
  6827.  
  6828.  
  6829. &lt;p&gt;“It can be cheaper than purchasing two separate insurance policies.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6830.  
  6831.  
  6832.  
  6833. &lt;p&gt;This is exactly what wedding photographer Jennifer Jane Shoebridge, 49, from Devon (jenniferjanephotography.co.uk) did.&lt;/p&gt;
  6834.  
  6835.  
  6836.  
  6837. &lt;p&gt;“We were paying about £60 a month for our dog, Perry, but we shopped around and managed to get a policy with M&amp;amp;S insurance, which also included our two new cats, Jasper and Quinn. &lt;/p&gt;
  6838.  
  6839.  
  6840.  
  6841. &lt;p&gt;“The level of cover was slightly lower, but good enough, and even with two extra animals on the policy, it is £20 cheaper a month.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6842.  
  6843.  
  6844.  
  6845. &lt;p&gt;The cost of pet insurance is likely to increase as your pet gets older.&lt;/p&gt;
  6846.  
  6847.  
  6848.  
  6849. &lt;p&gt;Consumer organisation Defaqto, which gives pet insurance policies a star rating at&amp;nbsp;defaqto.com/star-ratings/pet-insurance, warns that nearly a third of dog insurance policies introduce co-insurance payments when your dog is eight years old, charging owners around 20 per cent of the overall claim amount on top of your policy excess.&lt;/p&gt;
  6850.  
  6851.  
  6852.  
  6853. &lt;p&gt;Another option is stashing money in a savings account instead of taking out insurance. &lt;/p&gt;
  6854.  
  6855.  
  6856.  
  6857. &lt;p&gt;It’s a gamble if your pet gets sick, but it’s an alternative way to battle rising costs.&lt;/p&gt;

  6869. &lt;p&gt;A VISIT to the groomers can be pricey, with an average cost of £43 per session but you can learn to groom your dog at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  6870.  
  6871.  
  6872.  
  6873. &lt;p&gt;PDSA vet Catherine Burke adds: “Brushing helps to distribute natural oils and gives you the chance to check for any skin problems that could result in a veterinary visit later down the line.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6874.  
  6875.  
  6876.

  6878.  
  6879.  
  6880.  
  6881. &lt;p&gt;She says: “I learnt to do DIY grooming safely and carefully during the lockdowns thanks to online videos, and I’m putting the £40 a month into a savings account for Darcie’s vet &lt;span id=&quot;1de7730f-50ad-456a-98be-d03340ee0d6b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/span&gt; when she’s older.”&lt;/p&gt;

  6894. SONNY WHITE, 66, from Worthing, worried he might have had to put his beloved dog to sleep because he couldn’t pay for her care. &lt;/p&gt;
  6896. &lt;div&gt;
  6897. &lt;p&gt;Two years ago, his eight-year-old Dachshund, Roma, lost a lot of weight.&lt;/p&gt;
  6898. &lt;p&gt;The HGV driver had been reliant on benefits since suffering a major stroke three years earlier and was worried about the cost of taking Roma to the vet.&lt;/p&gt;
  6899. &lt;p&gt;Then he found out about his local PDSA hospital in Brighton, which gives free care to local pet owners receiving certain means-tested benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  6900. &lt;p&gt;Vets there diagnosed Roma with diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;
  6901. &lt;p&gt;She now has two insulin injections daily and regular check-ups.&lt;/p&gt;
  6902. &lt;p&gt;Sonny says: “If it wasn’t for PDSA, I probably would’ve had to have Roma put to sleep.&lt;/p&gt;
  6903. &lt;p&gt;“I wouldn’t be able to afford her monthly prescription of insulin, as well as syringes, blood tests, and urine tests.” &lt;/p&gt;
  6904. &lt;p&gt;He and wife Kim, 68, have been struggling to cope with costs. Everything has gone up – energy, food, pet food.&lt;/p&gt;
  6905. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve had to tighten my belt, watch the pennies.&lt;/p&gt;
  6906. &lt;p&gt;“Caring for a pet is expensive, but I’d rather eat beans on toast every day than see my dogs go without.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6907. &lt;p&gt;Sonny and Kim donate £30 a month to the PDSA as thanks for the care that Roma receives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  6963.  
  6964.  
  6965.  
  6966. &lt;p&gt;Sources say she has been &lt;span id=&quot;cd6d6dfa-6076-4948-b44a-7c17856e124b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jude-bellingham/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the 20-year-old £85.5million star&lt;/a&gt; for a couple of months, stays at his Madrid home and is “smitten”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6967.  
  6968.  
  6969.  
  6970. &lt;p&gt;And she has gained more than 50,000 new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; followers since &lt;span id=&quot;d779c449-e4a8-4df9-8306-69374972a437&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; of their relationship broke.&lt;/p&gt;
  6971.

  6974. &lt;p&gt;Laura was photographed for FHM by Russell Pearson, who has also snapped &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/playboy/&quot;&gt;Playboy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;a7cbc6ee-a125-46df-a163-d735cbd92aac&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;models&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6975.  
  6976.  
  6977.  
  6978. &lt;p&gt;Chris Riemens, editor of the Dutch FHM, told The Sun: “Laura looks amazing. She’s been on our radar since 2020. I think she’s a very sweet girl. I think she will make this year’s list.&lt;/p&gt;
  6979.  
  6980.

  7046. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ELLIE SIMMONDS has won five golds at the Paralympics – and now she has got her eye on a different award that is just as shiny.&lt;/p&gt;
  7047.  
  7048.  
  7049.  
  7050. &lt;p&gt;The Strictly star – who blew me away on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; dance contest in 2022 – is up for a TV Bafta on May 12 for her brilliant &lt;span id=&quot;3b70d4d2-9903-48ab-9968-ced82aaeb687&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;eedb6f6e-fa72-4476-a35d-5b20f00482cc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/span&gt;, Finding My Secret Family.&lt;/p&gt;
  7051.  
  7052.  
  7053.  
  7054. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568069&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 608px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/ellie-simmonds-attends-nominees-party-896512688.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=598&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568069&quot; width=&quot;598&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Paralympian Ellie Simmonds is already lining up her next documentary projects&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  7055.  
  7056.  
  7057.  
  7058. &lt;p&gt;The show saw Ellie looking into the relationship between &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disability/&quot;&gt;disability&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/adoption/&quot;&gt;adoption&lt;/a&gt;, and tracked down her birth mother during filming.&lt;/p&gt;
  7059.  
  7060.  
  7061.  
  7062. &lt;p&gt;And now the former Paralympian swimmer told me that she has got a taste for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/documentary/&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/a&gt; making and is already lining up her &lt;span id=&quot;47c1ef5f-81ab-4168-ac10-b143c765d18f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; projects.&lt;/p&gt;
  7063.  
  7064.  
  7065.  
  7066. &lt;p&gt;In a chat backstage at the FEVO Sports Industry Awards in London, Ellie said: “Documentaries is what I want to do.&lt;/p&gt;
  7067.  
  7068.  
  7069.  
  7070. &lt;p&gt;“I love working in sport and TV and interviewing people but to do documentaries is my focus. &lt;/p&gt;
  7071.  
  7072.  
  7073.  
  7074. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is something that we are working on now. For me disability is close to my heart so I’d like to do another one focusing on that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7075.  
  7076.  
  7077.  
  7078. &lt;p&gt;The country’s favourite reality TV star Harry Clark was also at the event, which was held in Evolution London.&lt;/p&gt;
  7079.  
  7080.  
  7081.  
  7082. &lt;p&gt;And after winning BBC show &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-traitors/&quot;&gt;The Traitors&lt;/a&gt;, he is eyeing up a return to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity/&quot;&gt;celebrity&lt;/a&gt; version of the show alongside host &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/claudia-winkleman/&quot;&gt;Claudia Winkleman&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7083.  
  7084.  
  7085.  
  7086. &lt;p&gt;Harry told me: “I’d love to work with Claudia in some way, even if I was in the tunnel with the Traitors and helping them come up with a game plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  7087.  
  7088.  
  7089.  
  7090. &lt;p&gt;“It would be a game in a game and become a tournament over who could win.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7091.  
  7092.  
  7093.  
  7094. &lt;p&gt;But could he beat Claudia if he took her on?&lt;/p&gt;
  7095.

  7135.  
  7136.  
  7137.  
  7138. &lt;p&gt;And it turns out his wife, model &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/vogue-williams/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;22c9a312-0b0f-4e55-a4d2-252996275963&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Vogue&lt;/span&gt; Williams&lt;/a&gt;, agrees.&lt;/p&gt;

  7151.  
  7152.  
  7153.  
  7154. &lt;p&gt;“It’s 30 marathons, 30 days in 45-degree heat.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7155.  
  7156.  
  7157.  
  7158. &lt;p&gt;I think it’s time Spenny gave endurance athlete Russell Cook, aka the Hardest Geezer, a call for tips – he’s gonna need them.&lt;/p&gt;

  7210. &lt;p&gt;Harry admitted in his younger years he would have hit the bar after his Marathon efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
  7211.  
  7212.  
  7213.  
  7214. &lt;p&gt;He said: “How times have changed. &lt;/p&gt;
  7215.  
  7216.  
  7217.  
  7218. &lt;p&gt;“I quit drinking just under 13 years ago – the positives definitely outweigh the negatives.&lt;/p&gt;
  7219.  
  7220.  
  7221.  
  7222. &lt;p&gt;“Looking back, we had fun before that. &lt;/p&gt;
  7223.  
  7224.  
  7225.  
  7226. &lt;p&gt;“Maybe too much fun.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7227.

  7246. &lt;p&gt;HE is one of the hottest blokes on the box at the moment. But it turns out even&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/9786739/theo-james-sanditon-itv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; Theo James&lt;/a&gt; got some embarrassing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tattoos/&quot;&gt;tattoos&lt;/a&gt; as a teen.&lt;/p&gt;
  7247.  
  7248.  
  7249.  
  7250. &lt;p&gt;My exclusive pictures of the actor – who stars in Guy Ritchie’s new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt; series &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26768371/netflix-theo-james-gentlemen-real-name-eddie/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Gentlemen&lt;/a&gt; – show some suspect inkings on his legs when he headed to the gym in Venice Beach, California.&lt;/p&gt;
  7251.  
  7252.  
  7253.  
  7254. &lt;p&gt;The tatts included a hummingbird and something I assume is meant to be a fish.&lt;/p&gt;
  7255.  
  7256.  
  7257.  
  7258. &lt;p&gt;They’re not great, but they’re as bad as a tattoo one of my exes had across his back which read: “Pain is temporary, &lt;span id=&quot;35d038ac-b915-48f1-8ffa-cc4320611183&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pride&lt;/span&gt; is forever.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7271.  
  7272.  
  7273.  
  7274. &lt;p&gt;The rapper will return with a new record later this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; which will be called The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace).&lt;/p&gt;
  7275.  
  7276.  
  7277.  
  7278. &lt;p&gt;In a trailer for the album, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/50-cent/&quot;&gt;50 Cent&lt;/a&gt; has a cameo and says: “He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath,” before Eminem adds: “I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7291.  
  7292.  
  7293.  
  7294. &lt;p&gt;IT was all smiles and sparkles as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kylie-minogue/&quot;&gt;Kylie Minogue&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dua-lipa/&quot;&gt;Dua Lipa&lt;/a&gt; reunited on the carpet at the Time 100 Gala.&lt;/p&gt;
  7295.  
  7296.  
  7297.  
  7298. &lt;p&gt;The pop pals have both been named on the US magazine’s list of influential people and were clearly in good spirits as they were celebrated at the New York bash.&lt;/p&gt;
  7299.  
  7300.  
  7301.  
  7302. &lt;p&gt;It came just weeks after Training Season hitmaker Dua handed Kylie the Global Icon award at the Brit awards in London.&lt;/p&gt;
  7303.  
  7304.  
  7305.  
  7306. &lt;p&gt;While single Kylie was flying solo, Dua later headed out hand in hand with her British actor boyfriend ­Callum Turner for a late bite to eat.&lt;/p&gt;
  7307.  
  7308.  
  7309.  
  7310. &lt;p&gt;With all this go­ing on, and her headline slot at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glastonbury/&quot;&gt;Glastonbury&lt;/a&gt; just weeks away, it’s no wonder Dua couldn’t stop beaming.&lt;/p&gt;
  7311.  
  7312.  
  7313.  
  7314. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Tour has put N-Dubz back in the money&lt;/h2&gt;

  7319.  
  7320.  
  7321.  
  7322. &lt;p&gt;N-DUBZ’s finances used to leave accountants scratching their heads, but now the group are rolling in it again.&lt;/p&gt;
  7323.  
  7324.  
  7325.  
  7326. &lt;p&gt;Ten years ago things were so bad, band member Fazer was declared bankrupt, but since returning in 2022, the trio have been coining it in.&lt;/p&gt;
  7327.  
  7328.  
  7329.  
  7330. &lt;p&gt;The trio – also including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/24551644/n-dubz-dappy-rant-money-row-accountants/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dappy &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tulisa/&quot;&gt;Tulisa&lt;/a&gt; – banked almost £50,000 a week from their pop companies last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  7331.  
  7332.  
  7333.  
  7334. &lt;p&gt;Updated figures show they now sitting on a fortune of £2.5million from their firms LRC Entertainment and LRC Live. &lt;/p&gt;
  7335.  
  7336.  
  7337.  
  7338. &lt;p&gt;When they announced a comeback with their Back To The &lt;span id=&quot;5d2e5a5b-15f3-4d89-8a3a-55aa38b03a7f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Future&lt;/span&gt; Tour, the dates sold out so quickly, seven extra gigs were added to cope with the demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  7339.  
  7340.  
  7341.  
  7342. &lt;p&gt;During their career, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/n-dubz/&quot;&gt;N-Dubz&lt;/a&gt; enjoyed four Top 10 albums and 13 UK Top 40 hits, including I Need You, Best Behaviour and my fave, Playing With Fire.&lt;/p&gt;
  7343.  
  7344.  
  7345.  
  7346. &lt;p&gt;They also bagged the top spot with 2009 single Number 1 alongside the rapper Tinchy Stryder.&lt;/p&gt;
  7347.  
  7348.  
  7349.  
  7350. &lt;p&gt;With a long summer ahead of them, I’m sure they will enjoy splashing the cash.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7365. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GORDON Ramsay is cooking up a reboot of Hell’s Kitchen — 20 years after he last appeared on the show in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  7366.  
  7367.  
  7368.  
  7369. &lt;p&gt;The sweary chef, 57, is in talks with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; about a revival which would see him turning up the heat again on stressed competitors.&lt;/p&gt;
  7370.  
  7371.  
  7372.  
  7373. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567250&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/contestant-chef-colleen-chef-gordon-792119517.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567250&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;643&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Chef Gordon Ramsay is in talks with ITV to revive hit cooking show Hell&amp;#8217;s Kitchen&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  7374.  
  7375.  
  7376.  
  7377. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567298&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/738929b8-5d2b-4e2d-b09f-62de11e00297.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567298&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;434&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Hell&amp;#8217;s Kitchen first aired 20 years ago with the final series screened in the UK in 2009&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;ITV&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  7378.  
  7379.  
  7380.  
  7381. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gordon-ramsay/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ramsay &lt;/a&gt;launched it in 2004 with 11 celebrities taking part — including winner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jennifer-ellison/&quot;&gt;Jennifer Ellison&lt;/a&gt; — and hosted by former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26769594/have-i-got-news-for-you-returning-bbc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Have I Got &lt;span id=&quot;d1dd89de-bf1c-4e2f-9544-2661eba14ffd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;News&lt;/span&gt; for You&lt;/a&gt; anchor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3242234/angus-deayton-bake-off-have-i-got-news-for-you/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Angus Deayton&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7382.  
  7383.  
  7384.  
  7385. &lt;p&gt;Ramsay only appeared in it for one series before taking the contest to the US and beyond, becoming a huge star in the process.&lt;/p&gt;
  7386.  
  7387.  
  7388.  
  7389. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider said: “Early conversations are happening and ITV are very excited about the prospect of it returning.&lt;/p&gt;
  7390.  
  7391.  
  7392.  
  7393. &lt;p&gt;“It is one of Gordon’s biggest shows around the world by miles and is broadcast to around 100 countries &amp;#8211; so it really is huge. &lt;/p&gt;
  7394.  
  7395.  
  7396.  
  7397. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The real hurdle for him will be fitting it in among his other commitments, but everyone seems thrilled at the mere idea.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7398.  
  7399.  
  7400.  
  7401. &lt;p&gt;After Ramsay’s departure, Hell’s Kitchen UK continued for three more seasons, featuring replacement chefs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14398507/chef-gary-rhodes-left-more-than-6-4million-will/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gary Rhodes&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7180724/jean-christophe-novelli-restaurants/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jean-Christophe Novelli&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marco-pierre-white-senior/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Marco Pierre White&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7402.  
  7403.  
  7404.  
  7405. &lt;p&gt;The final UK series was presented in 2009 by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/claudia-winkleman/&quot;&gt;Claudia Winkleman&lt;/a&gt;, now host of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-traitors/&quot;&gt;The Traitors&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot;&gt;Strictly Come Dancing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7406.  
  7407.  
  7408.  
  7409. &lt;p&gt;The new host and start date for filming the reboot have yet to be deliberated as talks are at such an early stage.&lt;/p&gt;
  7410.  
  7411.  
  7412.  
  7413. &lt;p&gt;However it is unlikely to be &lt;span id=&quot;83ae7208-c1a1-406a-bbe6-fc7ebce00f63&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; year as Ramsay already has commitments for the next 18 months. &lt;/p&gt;
  7414.  
  7415.  
  7416.  
  7417. &lt;p&gt;Last November he &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/24706961/gordon-ramsay-dad-sixth-time-wife-tana-birth/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;became a father for the sixth time&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/8097273/tana-ramsay-married-gordon-children/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;wife Tana&lt;/a&gt;, 49.&lt;/p&gt;

  7455. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;a 23-year-old has revealed how she made £250,000 in a matter of months thanks to hard work and turning her emotions off.&lt;/p&gt;
  7456.  
  7457.  
  7458.  
  7459. &lt;p&gt;Shelby Sapp, from Miami, revealed that her success was all down to being a &amp;#8216;literal psychopath.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;

  7468.

  7470.  
  7471. &lt;p&gt;The US-based women gave an insight into how she affords her lavish lifestyle which includes owning a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/porsche/&quot;&gt;Porsche&lt;/a&gt; and travelling the world in five-star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hotels/&quot;&gt;hotels&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7472.  
  7473.  
  7474.  
  7475. &lt;p&gt;She started her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;career &lt;/a&gt;doing door-to-door sales, a job most people would avoid, but moved up the ladder to run a team of sales reps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7476.  
  7477.  
  7478.  
  7479. &lt;p&gt;She bragged about her financial achievements, from owning a &lt;span id=&quot;cc7ce393-8936-45b3-8274-d096c13ef7b9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/span&gt; Porsche Cayenne &amp;#8211; which starts at £58,420  and stated: &amp;#8216;The top producers in sales are literally psychopaths &amp;#8211; and I&amp;#8217;m one of them.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;

  7493.  
  7494.  
  7495.  
  7496. &lt;p&gt;Shelby revealed it was possible for anyone to achieve in a viral &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@diaryofad2dsaleswoman/video/7357187298775256366?&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;video  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;video &lt;/a&gt;which has been viewed more than 1.1 million times.&lt;/p&gt;
  7497.  
  7498.  
  7499.  
  7500. &lt;p&gt;She spoke to her audience while parked in her lavish car to share her secrets to being successful.&lt;/p&gt;
  7501.  
  7502.  
  7503.  
  7504. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My point is, if you wanna be good at sales, you have to literally be a robot with yourself,&amp;#8221; she explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  7505.  
  7506.  
  7507.  
  7508. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You have to know that whether you are having a good day, bad day or whatever you are feeling, it literally doesn&amp;#8217;t matter.&lt;/p&gt;
  7509.  
  7510.  
  7511.  
  7512. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8216;If you&amp;#8217;re sad, it doesn&amp;#8217;t matter. If you&amp;#8217;re happy, it doesn&amp;#8217;t matter. With the people that you are talking to you have to be the same. You have to be so good at&amp;nbsp;controlling your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy/&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7513.  
  7514.  
  7515.  
  7516. &lt;p&gt;She continued saying that customers can feel the energy &amp;#8211; making it less likely for you to make a deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  7517.  
  7518.  
  7519.  
  7520. &lt;p&gt;According to the sales pro &amp;#8211; the difference between a good sales rep and a bad one is how you deal with emotions.&lt;/p&gt;

  7544. &lt;p&gt;She added that no one can tell whether she is having a good or bad day.&lt;/p&gt;
  7545.  
  7546.  
  7547.  
  7548. &lt;p&gt;I keep telling you guys this. It has everything to do with mentality &amp;#8211; your energy, your vibe, how you&amp;#8217;re approaching at how you&amp;#8217;re controlling yourself, your hard work,&amp;#8221; she concluded.&lt;/p&gt;
  7549.  
  7550.  
  7551.  
  7552. &lt;p&gt;Shelby really did start at the bottom, selling &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pest-control/&quot;&gt;pest control&lt;/a&gt; products by knocking on people&amp;#8217;s doors.&lt;/p&gt;
  7553.  
  7554.  
  7555.  
  7556. &lt;p&gt;When she hit her own sale &lt;span id=&quot;64693d57-e130-46a6-91d0-18069ac5b27d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;target&lt;/span&gt; of £252,434 she then trained her sale reps and who made £800,000  in revenue.&lt;/p&gt;
  7557.  
  7558.  
  7559.  
  7560. &lt;p&gt;1&amp;#8243;00 days of 8am-10pm hard work knocking on doors selling pest control contracts in the heat. It was not the fanciest job, but I walked away as a million dollar revenue producing manager, the top female sales rep in the company, and a six figure take-home earner,&amp;#8221; she added.&lt;/p&gt;
  7561.  
  7562.  
  7563.  
  7564. &lt;p&gt;Despite Shelby&amp;#8217;s impressive claims about her sales expertise, her video was soon flooded with comments with viewers left bitterly divided.&lt;/p&gt;
  7565.  
  7566.  
  7567.  
  7568. &lt;p&gt;Many congratulated the content creator while others said it wasn&amp;#8217;t worth the hustle.&lt;/p&gt;
  7569.  
  7570.  
  7571.  
  7572. &lt;p&gt;One person wrote: &amp;#8220;I literally don&amp;#8217;t want to be a robot. I&amp;#8217;m a human, not AI.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7573.  
  7574.  
  7575.  
  7576. &lt;p&gt;Another commented: &amp;#8220;Awesome job! This is my first year in sales, and you are 100 per cent correct! Hoping to get there too! Saving enough to go &lt;span id=&quot;93c5dd4d-8ac2-46b6-8406-9c06c3440054&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;back to school&lt;/span&gt;, so I can pursue my passions.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7635. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PUNTERS have been left shocked after a popular pub chain with 22 sites across the UK closed a town centre location without giving notice. &lt;/p&gt;
  7636.  
  7637.  
  7638.  
  7639. &lt;p&gt;It is among the many boozers that have closed their doors for the final time across the country. &lt;/p&gt;
  7640.  
  7641.  
  7642.  
  7643. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_undefined&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NINTCHDBPICT000894608390.jpg?strip=all&quot; alt=&quot;A local brewery has shut down its doors after falling into administration&quot; class=&quot;alignnone&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Another popular pub chain has announced a branch closure&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  7644.  
  7645.  
  7646.  
  7647. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_undefined&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/hands-holding-glasses-beer-table-879617157.jpg?strip=all&quot; alt=&quot;Nearly half of the Brits dream of running their own pub&quot; class=&quot;alignnone&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Many popular pubs have closed down their gates since last year&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  7648.  
  7649.  
  7650.  
  7651. &lt;p&gt;The Brewhouse and Kitchen in Bedford High Street has abruptly closed its doors &amp;#8211; without giving local customers any notice. &lt;/p&gt;
  7652.  
  7653.  
  7654.  
  7655. &lt;p&gt;A staff for the popular club chain confirmed: &amp;#8220;Our last day of trading was June 22.&lt;/p&gt;
  7656.  
  7657.  
  7658.  
  7659. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We wanted to thank all our guests that have visited B&amp;amp;K Bedford, over the years, for their custom and loyalty, and to say that our freshly brewed craft beers will still be pouring at our London sites as well as others.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7660.  
  7661.  
  7662.  
  7663. &lt;p&gt;A local punter said they could not order food at the pub when they hoped in last weekend as there were &amp;#8220;issues with the kitchen&amp;#8221;, &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Bedford Today (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.bedfordtoday.co.uk/business/mystery-as-brewhouse-in-bedfords-high-street-suddenly-shuts-up-shop-4601987&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bedford Today&lt;/a&gt; reports. &lt;/p&gt;
  7664.  
  7665.  
  7666.  
  7667. &lt;p&gt;It is understood that the pub chain is only closing its branch in Bedford &amp;#8211; while the reasons behind the closure are still unknown. &lt;/p&gt;
  7668.  
  7669.  
  7670.  
  7671. &lt;p&gt;The Sun has reached out for a comment. &lt;/p&gt;
  7672.  
  7673.  
  7674.  
  7675. &lt;p&gt;It comes as dozens of other pubs across the country are shutting down amid rising cost of operations. &lt;/p&gt;
  7676.  
  7677.  
  7678.  
  7679. &lt;p&gt;Just days ago, an award-winning brewery announced its closure &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27480372/award-winning-brewery-closes-doors-for/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;after just seven years in business&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7680.  
  7681.  
  7682.  
  7683. &lt;p&gt;Cellar Head Brewing Company and Tap Room has slipped into administration after attempts to find a buyer for the business failed.&lt;/p&gt;
  7684.  
  7685.  
  7686.  
  7687. &lt;p&gt;The &amp;#8220;heartbreaking&amp;#8221; news was announced by the company&amp;#8217;s directors Julia and Christopher McKenzie on the brewery&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;page.&lt;/p&gt;
  7688.  
  7689.  
  7690.  
  7691. &lt;p&gt;They said the increase in the cost of production and the current financial climate made the business &amp;#8220;unviable&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7692.  
  7693.  
  7694.  
  7695. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Punters could lose as many as 15 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wetherspoon/&quot;&gt;Wetherspoon&lt;/a&gt; drinking spots as a &amp;#8220;buzzing&amp;#8221; pub prepares to shut its doors.&lt;/p&gt;
  7696.  
  7697.  
  7698.  
  7699. &lt;p&gt;The Lord Arthur Lee in Fareham, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/hampshire/&quot;&gt;Hampshire&lt;/a&gt;, will close on Sunday (April 28) when it transfers to a new owner.&lt;/p&gt;
  7700.  
  7701.  
  7702.  
  7703. &lt;p&gt;The chain – which has 827 pubs across the UK – warned in September 2022 that it was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/22263215/full-list-of-wetherspoon-close-under-offer-sale/&quot;&gt;putting dozens of its pubs up for sale&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7704.  
  7705.  
  7706.  
  7707. &lt;p&gt;So far, 46 Spoons sites have closed their doors and many more remain up for sale.&lt;/p&gt;
  7708.  
  7709.  
  7710.  
  7711. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27421476/wetherspoons-to-close-more-branches-9-still-at-risk/&quot;&gt;Flintshire Wetherspoons&lt;/a&gt; will close its doors for on May 12.&lt;/p&gt;
  7712.  
  7713.  
  7714.  
  7715. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27104281/wetherspoons-puts-great-pub-up-for-sale/&quot;&gt;The Bears Head in Penarth, Wales&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has also been put up for sale.&lt;/p&gt;
  7716.  
  7717.  
  7718.  
  7719. &lt;p&gt;Most recently, the London and Rye Wetherspoons have been put on the market.&lt;/p&gt;
  7720.

  7736. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MORE than 500 British boozers closed their doors for the final time last year.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7737. &lt;p&gt;Crippling taxes and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;meant the total number of closures since 2017 hit 3,043.&lt;/p&gt;
  7738. &lt;p&gt;And last year alone, 6,000 people lost their jobs as a result of boozers having to shut down.&lt;/p&gt;
  7739. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pubs/&quot;&gt;Pub&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;chiefs warned that more are on the way with landlords struggling to operate on “incredibly narrow margins”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7740. &lt;p&gt;They blame the rising price of raw materials,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy-bills/&quot;&gt;energy bills&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and a heavy tax ­burden for their plight.&lt;/p&gt;

  7797. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THIS is the moment a shopkeeper sprang across a store to trap a machete-wielding thug before a gang fled the shop through a bathroom window.&lt;/p&gt;

  7800.  
  7801. &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;knifeman &lt;/a&gt;became trapped inside Taas Express in Smethwick, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/west-midlands/&quot;&gt;West Midlands &lt;/a&gt;after a shopkeeper managed to run out into the street and barricade the door.&lt;/p&gt;

  7814.  
  7815.  
  7816.  
  7817. &lt;p&gt;A passer-by helped the shopkeeper stop the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/8378975/glasgow-bouncer-gun-sauchiehall-street-nicos/&quot;&gt;knifeman&lt;/a&gt; from breaking out of the shop after the incident on April 18. &lt;/p&gt;
  7818.  
  7819.  
  7820.  
  7821. &lt;p&gt;The knifeman was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/topic/cctv/&quot;&gt;caught on camera&lt;/a&gt; storming into the shop on April 18.&lt;/p&gt;
  7822.  
  7823.  
  7824.  
  7825. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/5296645/lauder-break-coop-police-cctv/&quot;&gt;shocking video &lt;/a&gt;shows him demanding &amp;#8220;we&amp;#8217;re going to stab you up, give me the f***ing money&amp;#8221; while his pal begins helping himself to items from the shelves.&lt;/p&gt;
  7826.  
  7827.  
  7828.  
  7829. &lt;p&gt;However, a quick-thinking staff member leaps around the counter &amp;#8211; smashing wine on the floor in a bid to slow down the crooks &amp;#8211; and out of the store before pulling the door tightly shut behind.&lt;/p&gt;
  7830.  
  7831.  
  7832.  
  7833. &lt;p&gt;The balaclava-clad offender then proceeds to smash the door windows with his weapon while members of the public also help thwart his escape.&lt;/p&gt;
  7834.  
  7835.  
  7836.  
  7837. &lt;p&gt;Another man trapped inside the store can be heard pleading: &amp;#8220;Please, he&amp;#8217;s going to get me, I have nothing to do with this, please brother let me out.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7860.  
  7861. &lt;p&gt;Despite the glass shattering and the yob thrusting the weapon through the gaps, the men courageously cling on to the door and manage to hold it shut.&lt;/p&gt;
  7862.  
  7863.  
  7864.  
  7865. &lt;p&gt;One passer-by in a motorbike helmet helps the worker pull the door shut while another grabs a chair to fend off the knifeman as he hacks at the glass.&lt;/p&gt;
  7866.  
  7867.  
  7868.  
  7869. &lt;p&gt;Owner Rajasingam Tharshiya said one of the thugs managed to escape before the door was pulled to &amp;#8211; and two others made their way out of a bathroom window.&lt;/p&gt;
  7870.  
  7871.  
  7872.  
  7873. &lt;p&gt;West Midlands Police said a 17-year-old boy was later arrested on suspicion of robbery.&lt;/p&gt;
  7874.  
  7875.  
  7876.  
  7877. &lt;p&gt;Shop owner Mr Tharshiya said: &amp;#8220;These two lads came in with knives and started demanding money from my staff.&lt;/p&gt;
  7878.  
  7879.  
  7880.  
  7881. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He had the presence of mind to run from behind the counter and out of the door, one of them just beat him to the door and ran away.&lt;/p&gt;
  7882.  
  7883.  
  7884.  
  7885. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The other guy trapped inside started banging on the glass and the third man I believe was also with them &amp;#8211; as they both escaped out of the bathroom window together.&lt;/p&gt;
  7886.  
  7887.  
  7888.  
  7889. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He acts like he is a customer asking to be let out, but he comes in first to check the coast is clear and sees there is only one person here before he calls them on his mobile phone.&lt;/p&gt;
  7890.  
  7891.  
  7892.  
  7893. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s almost like the man with the knife tries to take him as a fake hostage at one point to get my staff to try and open the door.&lt;/p&gt;
  7894.  
  7895.  
  7896.  
  7897. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Some other neighbours came to help pull the door shut &amp;#8211; they were very brave as he smashed up the windows.&lt;/p&gt;
  7898.  
  7899.  
  7900.  
  7901. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The police arrived while they were still inside but were reluctant to go inside for some reason. At that point they squeezed out the bathroom window.&lt;/p&gt;
  7902.  
  7903.  
  7904.  
  7905. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is very frightening this can happen and our worker was very shaken up but luckily unharmed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7916. KNIFE and gun crimes, robbery and thefts are all rising in lawless Britain &lt;/p&gt;
  7918. &lt;div&gt;
  7919. &lt;p&gt;And the shoplifting epidemic is at its worst for 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  7920. &lt;p&gt;Figures show almost 1,200 cases of shop thefts being reported every day — up by a third in a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  7921. &lt;p&gt;Last year there were 430,104 shoplifting cases reported, up from 315,040 in 2022 and the highest since records began in 2003.&lt;/p&gt;
  7922. &lt;p&gt;Annual &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; figures from the Office for National Statistics show that thefts rose by 18 per cent to 125,563 and robberies increased 13 per cent to 81,094.&lt;/p&gt;
  7923. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liberal-democrats-party/&quot;&gt;Lib Dem&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;home affairs spokesman Alistair Carmichael said: “Britain has gone from a nation of shopkeepers to one plagued by shoplifters.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7924. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/yvette-cooper/&quot;&gt;Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Coope&lt;/a&gt;r said: “These shocking figures show the scale of Conservative failure on law and order.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7925. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/james-cleverly/&quot;&gt;Home Secretary James Cleverly&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has told police to attend every shoplifting case.&lt;/p&gt;

  7927. &lt;/div&gt;
  7928. &lt;/div&gt;
  7930.  
  7931.  
  7932.  
  7933. &lt;p&gt;A police spokesperson said: &amp;#8220;We were called just before 7pm on 18 April to reports of a disorder at a shop on Bearwood Road, Smethwick.&lt;/p&gt;
  7934.  
  7935.  
  7936.  
  7937. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A shop worker was threatened with a knife and offenders attempted to take items from the store.&lt;/p&gt;
  7938.  
  7939.  
  7940.  
  7941. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The shop worker along with members of the public attempted to lock the offenders in the store to prevent them from fleeing the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
  7942.  
  7943.  
  7944.  
  7945. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;During this, the front door of the store was smashed.&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8220;A boy, aged 17, was arrested on suspicion of robbery and has since been bailed pending further enquiries.&lt;/p&gt;
  7946.

  8002.  
  8003.  
  8004.  
  8005. &lt;p&gt;Maddison, who took part in the Boots Online Doctor YouTube series in collaboration with Sky Sports, added: “I often found when I was injured, I was getting very frustrated with not being back quicker.&lt;/p&gt;

  8068.

  8087. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ONE MINUTE young fans were jumping up and down, flinging their arms wide.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8088.  
  8089.  
  8090.  
  8091. &lt;p&gt;Next, they were in tears. And so were their dads. Not so much Sky Blues as the deepest blues.&lt;/p&gt;
  8092.  
  8093.  
  8094.  
  8095. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569345&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image_4def65.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569345&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;VAR denied Coventry a sensational late winner against Manchester United&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  8096.  
  8097.  
  8098.  
  8099. &lt;p&gt;That’s what &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/var/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;VAR&lt;/a&gt; can do. And did to Coventry City whose FA Cup final dreams were soon to be dust after the decision that Victor Torp’s goal against Manchester United a minute before the end of extra-time was an illusion.&lt;/p&gt;
  8100.  
  8101.  
  8102.  
  8103. &lt;p&gt;It was a toenail short of the truth, ruled VAR advisers. The line they use showed Torp was fractionally offside.&lt;/p&gt;
  8104.  
  8105.  
  8106.  
  8107. &lt;p&gt;The linesman hadn’t flagged, but no matter because he’s practically redundant since his job was re-named assistant referee.&lt;/p&gt;
  8108.  
  8109.  
  8110.  
  8111. &lt;p&gt;Soon those joyful moments of promise had become poison as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;United&lt;/a&gt; won in the penalty shoot-out and every viewer, bar United fans, had to wonder again about VAR.&lt;/p&gt;
  8112.  
  8113.  
  8114.  
  8115. &lt;p&gt;For many of us it is menacing the magic of our game.&lt;/p&gt;
  8116.  
  8117.  
  8118.  
  8119. &lt;p&gt;Forest people are going ape against it, maybe because they sense football is becoming the pen pusher’s revenge on human judgement.&lt;/p&gt;
  8120.  
  8121.  
  8122.  
  8123. &lt;p&gt;Wolves might have agreed a few weeks ago when a headed goal from five or six yards was disallowed because a team-mate was blocking the West Ham goalkeeper’s vision.&lt;/p&gt;
  8124.  
  8125.  
  8126.  
  8127. &lt;p&gt;But the truth is we have all had marginal, or worse, just plain wrong VAR decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
  8128.

  8144. By Dave Kidd &lt;/p&gt;
  8146. &lt;div&gt;
  8147. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN Manchester United got lucky in their FA Cup semi-final, Antony’s first instinct was to goad heartbroken opponents Coventry. To rub their noses in the dirt.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8148. &lt;p&gt;Antony seems to be a vile individual but this isn’t really about Antony. Because Antony is merely a symptom of the hideous sickness within England’s top flight.&lt;/p&gt;
  8149. &lt;p&gt;There is so much wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  8150. &lt;p&gt;After our elite clubs persuaded the FA to completely scrap Cup replays — which gave us Ronnie Radford and Ricky Villa and Ryan Giggs — without due recompense or reasoning with the rest of English football.&lt;/p&gt;
  8151. &lt;p&gt;The previous day, after his Manchester City side had defeated Chelsea in the other FA Cup semi-final, Pep Guardiola whinged about the fixture scheduling of TV companies who effectively pay much of his £20m salary.&lt;/p&gt;
  8152. &lt;p&gt;Up at Wolves, Guardiola’s friend and rival Mikel Arteta was playing the same sad song about fixture congestion, despite his Arsenal side having played two fewer games this season than Coventry — who don’t have £50m squad players to rotate with.&lt;/p&gt;
  8153. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea, oh Chelsea. The one-time plaything of a Russian oligarch now owned by financially incontinent venture capitalists who have piddled £1billion on a squad of players who fight like weasels in a sack about who should bask in the personal glory of scoring the penalty that puts them 5-0 up against Everton.&lt;/p&gt;
  8154. &lt;p&gt;Read &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27477020/man-utd-antony-coventry-premier-league-fa-cup/&quot;&gt;Dave Kidd&amp;#8217;s full column as he takes aim at Nottingham Forest, Fulham&amp;#8217;s ticket prices, the 39th game, VAR and much more&lt;/a&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;
  8155. &lt;/div&gt;
  8156. &lt;/div&gt;
  8157. &lt;/div&gt;
  8159.  
  8160.  
  8161.  
  8162. &lt;p&gt;It was interesting to note this week Sweden became the first European country to reject the chance to introduce VAR in its top flight.&lt;/p&gt;
  8163.  
  8164.  
  8165.  
  8166. &lt;p&gt;It’s futile to boo a few blokes peering into monitors and advising the ref often three or even four minutes after a controversial incident.&lt;/p&gt;

  8188.  
  8189.  
  8190. &lt;p&gt;Indeed, these delays drain the drama and excitement from football and might in themselves be enough to warrant sacking the whole system. Overall, they can add as much as ten minutes to a match.&lt;/p&gt;
  8191.  
  8192.  
  8193.  
  8194. &lt;p&gt;I resisted a few boos — not done in the House of Lord’s never mind the directors’ box at Stamford Bridge — when Maxwel Cornet’s goal for the Hammers was disallowed for a foul on Edouard Mendy.&lt;/p&gt;
  8195.  
  8196.  
  8197.  
  8198. &lt;p&gt;The ref’s poor decision was supported by VAR and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; won 2-1 soon after.&lt;/p&gt;
  8199.  
  8200.  
  8201.  
  8202. &lt;p&gt;It may surprise us that VAR staff are human but John Brooks proved it when he drew the line between Brighton’s Pervis Estupinan and a defender and declared the Ecuadorian was offside.&lt;/p&gt;
  8203.  
  8204.  
  8205.  
  8206. &lt;p&gt;Whoops! Wrong defender. Brighton suffered a 1-1 draw with friends from Palace.&lt;/p&gt;
  8207.  
  8208.  
  8209.  
  8210. &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; check concluded over four years VAR support to refs improved their performance by 14 per cent to 96 per cent correct.&lt;/p&gt;
  8211.  
  8212.  
  8213.  
  8214. &lt;p&gt;It’s possible to argue with those figures on several grounds but fans’ question is simply: Is VAR worth all the friction?&lt;/p&gt;
  8215.  
  8216.  
  8217.  
  8218. &lt;p&gt;My stance is ‘yes’ on line decisions alone. But not for much else.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  8237. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;FLASH sales have landed with a bang on the shopping scene.&lt;/p&gt;
  8238.  
  8239.  
  8240.  
  8241. &lt;p&gt;These blink-and-you-miss-it promotions can offer great savings.&lt;/p&gt;
  8242.  
  8243.  
  8244.  
  8245. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27550109&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NINTCHDBPICT000896660588.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27550109&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;We have four tips to make the most of flash sales and grab a bargain[/caption]
  8246.  
  8247.  
  8248.  
  8249. &lt;p&gt;Here’s how to get yourself the best bargains . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  8250.  
  8251.  
  8252.  
  8253. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DAILY DEALS&lt;/strong&gt;: Mark your calendar with sales for different days of the week. &lt;/p&gt;
  8254.  
  8255.  
  8256.  
  8257. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/boots/&quot;&gt;Boots&lt;/a&gt; offers £10 Tuesdays, with best-selling brands reduced to £10 for 24 hours. &lt;/p&gt;
  8258.  
  8259.  
  8260.  
  8261. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asda&quot;&gt;Asda&lt;/a&gt; offers “mega event price drops” from Thursdays to Sundays, with up to 50 per cent off.&lt;/p&gt;
  8262.  
  8263.  
  8264.  
  8265. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lidl&quot;&gt;Lidl’&lt;/a&gt;s Middle of Lidl and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi&quot;&gt;Aldi’&lt;/a&gt;s Specialbuys arrive on Thursdays and Sundays, with good buys available while stocks last. &lt;/p&gt;
  8266.  
  8267.  
  8268.  
  8269. &lt;p&gt;Over-60s can get extra deals, too, with Iceland offering ten per cent off every Tuesday with a free bonus card.&lt;/p&gt;
  8270.  
  8271.  
  8272.  
  8273. &lt;p&gt;Until 1pm on the first Wednesday of the month, The Original Factory Shop also gives over-60s with a TOFS Club card an extra ten per cent off.&lt;/p&gt;
  8274.  
  8275.  
  8276.  
  8277. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BANK HOLIDAY BARGAINS&lt;/strong&gt;: With the May &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bank-holidays/&quot;&gt;bank holiday weekends&lt;/a&gt; on the horizon, stand by for a deluge of flash sales.&lt;/p&gt;
  8278.  
  8279.  
  8280.  
  8281. &lt;p&gt;Most big retailers have yet to announce offers, but garden deals are a perennial favourite at this time of year.&lt;/p&gt;
  8282.  
  8283.  
  8284.  
  8285. &lt;p&gt;Other online stores tag their sales to bank holidays, too. &lt;/p&gt;
  8286.  
  8287.  
  8288.  
  8289. &lt;p&gt;If you’re inviting a crowd over, site &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.partyrama.co.uk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;partyrama.co.uk (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;partyrama.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; is offering 20 per cent off from 9am to midnight on Sunday, May 5.&lt;/p&gt;
  8290.  
  8291.

  8293. &lt;p&gt;Throughout next weekend, you can get ten per cent off at sweethamper company.co.uk with the code SWEETBH. &lt;/p&gt;
  8294.  
  8295.  
  8296.  
  8297. &lt;p&gt;And bird lovers can save the same at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.awesomewildlifeco.co.uk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;awesomewildlifeco.co.uk (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;awesomewildlifeco.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; with the code WILDLIFEWEEKEND.&lt;/p&gt;
  8298.  
  8299.  
  8300.  
  8301. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JOIN THE LIST&lt;/strong&gt;: The best way to get first dibs on sales is to sign up to retailers’ mailing lists. &lt;/p&gt;
  8302.  
  8303.  
  8304.  
  8305. &lt;p&gt;It’s also how to get wind of Vouchercodes’ Wednesday Windfall — a big offer from 11am until all vouchers have been snapped up. &lt;/p&gt;
  8306.  
  8307.  
  8308.  
  8309. &lt;p&gt;Past deals have included a £10 Amazon voucher for spending £20 at Dunelm.&lt;/p&gt;
  8310.  
  8311.  
  8312.  
  8313. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRIMED FOR PRIME:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amazon-prime-day/&quot;&gt;Amazon Prime Day&lt;/a&gt; is an annual sale for Prime members usually held in July, so mark your diary.&lt;/p&gt;

  8318. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All prices on page correct at time of going to press. Deals and offers subject to availability.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  8319. &lt;/ul&gt;
  8320.  
  8321.  
  8322.  
  8323. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Deal of the day&lt;/h2&gt;

  8486.  
  8487.  
  8488.  
  8489. &lt;p&gt;The photographer has seen it all, with over 20 years of experience in the industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  8490.  
  8491.  
  8492.  
  8493. &lt;p&gt;He recounted one of the worst stories on the job, which turned the big day into a blunder.&lt;/p&gt;
  8494.  
  8495.  
  8496.  
  8497. &lt;p&gt;The wedding fail took the cake, with Labang describing it as being unforgettable.&lt;/p&gt;

  8505. &lt;p&gt;Labang explained that with his level of expertise, he&amp;#8217;s witnessed a lot in his industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  8506.  
  8507.  
  8508.  
  8509. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Believe me when I say that I have seen and heard it all,&amp;#8221; he said. &lt;/p&gt;
  8510.  
  8511.  
  8512.  
  8513. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But some wedding disasters you can never forget.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8514.

  8517. &lt;p&gt;What makes the story worse is that the snafu could have easily been avoided.&lt;/p&gt;

  8520.  
  8521. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Another photographer I know had met with the happy couple in advance to discuss and plan their photos for the day,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  8522.  
  8523.  
  8524.  
  8525. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Every couple is different, and every wedding is different, so planning is important to make sure the best shots are all captured.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8549. &lt;p&gt;Issues arose once the when the groom&amp;#8217;s mother stepped in while the shots were being taken.&lt;/p&gt;
  8550.  
  8551.  
  8552.  
  8553. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The photoshoot started well enough,&amp;#8221; he said. &amp;#8220;But then the mother-in-law decided to get involved.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8554.  
  8555.  
  8556.  
  8557. &lt;p&gt;She began taking her own pictures with her phone, despite protests from the bride.&lt;/p&gt;
  8558.  
  8559.  
  8560.  
  8561. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The photographer did his best, but with an amateur taking control, the results were disappointing, to say the least,&amp;#8221; he said. &lt;/p&gt;
  8562.  
  8563.  
  8564.  
  8565. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;People didn’t look happy in the photographs, and an argument even broke out among the family. At one point, the bride was in tears.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8566.  
  8567.  
  8568.  
  8569. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;FEELINGS IN CHECK&lt;/h2&gt;
  8570.  
  8571.  
  8572.  
  8573. &lt;p&gt;With weddings already being a time when emotions are on a high, Labang recommended keeping an eye on the prize.&lt;/p&gt;
  8574.  
  8575.  
  8576.  
  8577. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A wedding is a highly emotional day, and the frustration when something goes wrong can escalate quickly, ruining the day,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  8578.  
  8579.  
  8580.  
  8581. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime, and the run-up to the big day puts tremendous stress on those involved. &lt;/p&gt;
  8582.  
  8583.  
  8584.  
  8585. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Sometimes, it all comes out during the wedding.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8586.  
  8587.  
  8588.  
  8589. &lt;p&gt;Labang also had some advice for other photographers on similar assignments.&lt;/p&gt;
  8590.  
  8591.  
  8592.  
  8593. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A more experienced photographer would have handled the mother’s interference, got the shots, and kept everyone happy,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  8594.  
  8595.  
  8596.  
  8597. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Being a professional is about understanding people and circumstances and working the crowd.&lt;/p&gt;
  8598.  
  8599.  
  8600.  
  8601. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On this occasion, most of the planned photos were never taken, and the ones that were looked disorganized and a mess. &lt;/p&gt;
  8602.  
  8603.  
  8604.  
  8605. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No one was happy with the results, yet it all could have easily been avoided.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8616. Photographer Kris Labang of Hawaii Wedding Photography gave his advice for avoiding wedding photo fails. &lt;/p&gt;
  8618. &lt;div&gt;
  8619. &lt;ol&gt;
  8620. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;Consider designating a ‘photo-free zone’ where only the professionals can take photos (no camera phones allowed).&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  8621. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;Try to hire a professional with a second shooter, as you will get a wide range of shots that are not possible with just one photographer working the day.&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  8622. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;Warn guests not to use flash photography during the service, as this can interfere with the professional’s shots.&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  8623. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;Consider requesting no guest photographs during the service (a polite notice in the church or comment from the official at the start will do), worded to suggest the happy couple just wants guests to enjoy the ceremony.&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  8624. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;Actively encourage guests to instead take lots of photos of each other at the reception or wedding breakfast afterward. These will be all the moments that the bride and groom will otherwise miss. Create an online space for everyone to upload their reception photos; it’s one of the best gifts for the happy couple.&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  8625. &lt;li&gt;&amp;#8220;Be clear with everyone what is planned and communicate this well in advance. If you know you have someone who may try and disrupt things, you need to speak to them before the day.&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  8626. &lt;/ol&gt;
  8627. &lt;/div&gt;
  8628. &lt;/div&gt;

  8644. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A COUPLE who ploughed £270,000 into their dream Grand Designs home were forced to live in a crumbling caravan for three years.&lt;/p&gt;
  8645.  
  8646.  
  8647.  
  8648. &lt;p&gt;Steph Wilson and husband Alex then faced critics describing their Leominster newbuild as &amp;#8220;a huge ugly shed&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8657.  
  8658.  
  8659.  
  8660. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27561642&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/250k-dream-grand-designs-home-896918882.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27561642&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;537&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Channel 4&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The couple moved into a caravan for three years, using tape to insulate a drafty door[/caption]
  8661.  
  8662.  
  8663.  
  8664. &lt;p&gt;The couple used corrugated iron to line the outside of the building, on the site of Steph&amp;#8217;s grandfather&amp;#8217;s farm. &lt;/p&gt;
  8665.  
  8666.  
  8667.  
  8668. &lt;p&gt;Alex himself called the material &amp;#8220;ugly&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;like a shed&amp;#8221; as they filmed the build for the iconic Channel 4 show. &lt;/p&gt;
  8669.  
  8670.  
  8671.  
  8672. &lt;p&gt;The couple had a budget of just £250,000 and faced delay when Alex unexpectedly lost his job just as building was set to begin.&lt;/p&gt;
  8673.  
  8674.  
  8675.  
  8676. &lt;p&gt;An original estimate on a design reached £495,000 &amp;#8211; on top of buying back the land, which cost £200,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  8677.  
  8678.  
  8679.  
  8680. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;CARAVAN LIVING&lt;/h2&gt;
  8681.  
  8682.  
  8683.  
  8684. &lt;p&gt;The couple were forced to live in a caravan for three years as they battled to get the project off the ground.&lt;/p&gt;
  8685.  
  8686.  
  8687.  
  8688. &lt;p&gt;It had holes in the floors and a gap in their door which let freezing air flood into the space.&lt;/p&gt;
  8689.  
  8690.  
  8691.  
  8692. &lt;p&gt;The situation got so bad Alex was forced to perform an emergency operation on the door, haphazardly taping insulation against it to stop cold air getting in. &lt;/p&gt;
  8693.  
  8694.  
  8695.  
  8696. &lt;p&gt;And their two children barely remembered a time they hadn&amp;#8217;t lived in the caravan by the time the build was complete.&lt;/p&gt;
  8697.  
  8698.  
  8699.  
  8700. &lt;p&gt;Architect Jessica Barker, a childhood friend of Steph, saved the project after an original design went £250,000 over budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  8701.

  8715.  
  8716.  
  8717. &lt;p&gt;Grand Designs&amp;#8217; Kevin McCloud said: &amp;#8220;Jessica wants to cover the home in these corrugated sheets. Affordable and local, produced just outside Leominster. &lt;/p&gt;
  8718.  
  8719.  
  8720.  
  8721. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;re not exactly what you&amp;#8217;d expect to find on a house but Steph and Alex are familiar with this stuff. It&amp;#8217;s used on farm buildings, oh yes and on mobile homes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8722.  
  8723.  
  8724.  
  8725. &lt;p&gt;Steph added: &amp;#8220;In the beginning we were both absolutely dead against it. We wanted timber. But Jess worked me round. One of the reasons was it&amp;#8217;s much cheaper. But I so think it&amp;#8217;s going to look slick.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8726.  
  8727.  
  8728.  
  8729. &lt;p&gt;Alex was not so keen, adding: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s still very industrial. It&amp;#8217;s still a shed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8730.  
  8731.  
  8732.  
  8733. &lt;p&gt;Using the sheets instead of timber saved the couple £11,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  8734.  
  8735.  
  8736.  
  8737. &lt;p&gt;Kevin said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not to everyone&amp;#8217;s taste. By that I mean not to Alex&amp;#8217; taste.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8738.  
  8739.  
  8740.  
  8741. &lt;p&gt;Alex added: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m not sure to be honest. It&amp;#8217;s very black. But Steph loves it so that&amp;#8217;s all that matters.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8765. &lt;p&gt;Unveiling the final look, Kevin said: &amp;#8220;The mysterious black barn has wrapped itself around the house like a cloak. &lt;/p&gt;
  8766.  
  8767.  
  8768.  
  8769. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It took a bit of time to get used to but with the timbre it works,&amp;#8221; said Alex. &lt;/p&gt;
  8770.  
  8771.  
  8772.  
  8773. &lt;p&gt;And the couple even managed to get a bit of money back from their dilapidated mobile home. &lt;/p&gt;

  8775.  
  8776.  
  8777. &lt;p&gt;Steph: &amp;#8220;The caravan sold and it&amp;#8217;s going next week. We got £1,400.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8778.

  8788.  
  8789. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Loved this one, simple and beautiful.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8790.  
  8791.  
  8792.  
  8793. &lt;p&gt;Another compared it to a barn, tagging a pal: &amp;#8220;Looks like your barn is already being copied.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8816. OVER the years Grand Designs has showcased the most lavish and luxuries properties in the country - here are some of the best ones &lt;/p&gt;
  8818. &lt;div&gt;
  8819. &lt;ul&gt;
  8820. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dingle Dell Annexe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  8821. &lt;/ul&gt;
  8822. &lt;p&gt;This property featured on the show back in 2018 and was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22580878/every-stunning-grand-designs-property-rent/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;built as a zero carbon home.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8823. &lt;p&gt;The ambition was to have luxury, comfort all the while the house being constructed entirely of mud.&lt;/p&gt;
  8824. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s located in Ottery, Saint Mary but there&amp;#8217;s a catch &amp;#8211; you&amp;#8217;re not able to stay in the main house.&lt;/p&gt;
  8825. &lt;p&gt;However, you can stay in the annex which will cost you £450 for two adults and two kids, for two nights.&lt;/p&gt;
  8826. &lt;ul&gt;
  8827. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dome Lake House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  8828. &lt;/ul&gt;
  8829. &lt;p&gt;This &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19609984/grand-designs-dome-house-million-market-for-sale/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;stunning property is situated on the Lake District&lt;/a&gt; and featured on the Channel 4&amp;#8217;s show 10th series.&lt;/p&gt;
  8830. &lt;p&gt;Its owners had fallen behind on their mortgage repayments and were at risk of losing the home before a supporter helped out.&lt;/p&gt;
  8831. &lt;p&gt;Since then the abode has proven to be a hugely popular rental and operates as a B&amp;amp;B.&lt;/p&gt;
  8832. &lt;p&gt;The house boasts a huge pool and spacious kitchen and dinning areas.&lt;/p&gt;
  8833. &lt;ul&gt;
  8834. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peckham House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  8835. &lt;/ul&gt;
  8836. &lt;p&gt;This home featured a long time ago, in series five to be exact, and is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/14767280/grand-designs-homes-round-up-rent-airbnb/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;also known as the The Sliding Glass Roof.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8837. &lt;p&gt;Its owners couldn&amp;#8217;t afford to buy a property in London and so bought a piece of land at auction.&lt;/p&gt;
  8838. &lt;p&gt;The &amp;#8216;experimental&amp;#8217; house features a sliding glass roof and bedrooms as pods on the mezzanine.&lt;/p&gt;
  8839. &lt;p&gt;The three bed house sees a wall in the master bedroom completely disappear allowing the garden to become part of the room.&lt;/p&gt;
  8840. &lt;p&gt;It features a spa as well as a fold down cinema.&lt;/p&gt;
  8841. &lt;ul&gt;
  8842. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Water Shed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  8843. &lt;/ul&gt;
  8844. &lt;p&gt;This property featured on a recent series of Grand Designs and&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/24160947/womans-heart-breaking-reason-grand-designs-home/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; instantly had viewers fascinated.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8845. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s located in West Sussex and was transformed from a tired, rundown house into a luxurious home.&lt;/p&gt;
  8846. &lt;p&gt;Daniel and Nina Rowland designed and built the timber-cladding house on their own.&lt;/p&gt;
  8847. &lt;p&gt;They used their skills as a architect and interior designer to create the stunning property.&lt;/p&gt;
  8848. &lt;/div&gt;
  8849. &lt;/div&gt;
  8850. &lt;/div&gt;

  8871. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;DARTS events have been coming thick and fast this season &amp;#8211; and next on the schedule is the Austrian Open.&lt;/p&gt;
  8872.  
  8873.  
  8874.  
  8875. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22603662/jonny-clayton-won-thousands-pounds-darts-kept-job-plasterer/&quot;&gt;Jonny Clayton&lt;/a&gt; is the reigning champion after defeating Josh Rock 8-6 in a thrilling final last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  8876.  
  8877.  
  8878.  
  8879. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27543122&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/luke-littler-reacts-quarter-final-893436603_729b00.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27543122&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Luke Littler will be hoping to take home the Austrian Darts Open title[/caption]
  8880.  
  8881.  
  8882.  
  8883. &lt;p&gt;And the Welshman will be determined to retain what would be his third European triumph in Graz.&lt;/p&gt;
  8884.  
  8885.  
  8886.  
  8887. &lt;p&gt;However, going by current form, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luke-littler/&quot;&gt;Luke Littler&lt;/a&gt; is expected to pose a big threat to Clayton&amp;#8217;s crown.&lt;/p&gt;
  8888.  
  8889.  
  8890.  
  8891. &lt;p&gt;But the teenage sensation has a tough opening encounter against the host nation&amp;#8217;s qualifier.&lt;/p&gt;
  8892.

  8900.  
  8901.

  9273. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A GRIEVING mum took her own life just four weeks after her son killed himself when he broke up with his girlfriend.&lt;/p&gt;
  9274.  
  9275.  
  9276.  
  9277. &lt;p&gt;Harriet Belmore, 36, was distraught when only child 17-year-old Charlie Belmore-Hawkes was found hanged in a wooded area near their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/norfolk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Norfolk&lt;/a&gt; home on October 2 last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  9278.  
  9279.  
  9280.  
  9281. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569118&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/413379-pics-heartbroken-mother-took-896902670.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569118&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;East Anglia News Service&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Harriet Belmore was found hanging in her home just weeks after her son took his own life[/caption]
  9282.  
  9283.  
  9284.  
  9285. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569120&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 826px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/413379-pics-heartbroken-mother-took-896902606.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=816&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569120&quot; width=&quot;816&quot; height=&quot;918&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;East Anglia News Service&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Charlie Belmore-Hawkes, 17, took his own life after he split up with his girlfriend[/caption]
  9286.  
  9287.  
  9288.  
  9289. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569121&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/413379-pics-heartbroken-mother-took-896902593.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569121&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;East Anglia News Service&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The inquest heard how Harriet wanted &amp;#8216;to be with her son&amp;#8217; after he died[/caption]
  9290.  
  9291.  
  9292.  
  9293. &lt;p&gt;Despite struggling to come to terms with the tragic loss and overdosing just five days later, Harriet refused &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/mental-health/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; support, an inquest heard. &lt;/p&gt;
  9294.  
  9295.  
  9296.  
  9297. &lt;p&gt;Laser aesthetics technician Harriet had told those closest to her she wanted &amp;#8220;to be with her son&amp;#8221; shortly before she was found hanging at her home on October 31. &lt;/p&gt;
  9298.  
  9299.  
  9300.  
  9301. &lt;p&gt;The heartbreaking deaths of the mum and son were told at two separate inquests held just minutes after each other at Norfolk &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Coroner&amp;#8217;s Court&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9302.  
  9303.  
  9304.  
  9305. &lt;p&gt;Charlie&amp;#8217;s inquest heard he took his own life three days after a row with his girlfriend when he attended a festival with an ex.&lt;/p&gt;
  9306.  
  9307.  
  9308.  
  9309. &lt;p&gt;The teen&amp;#8217;s partner had told him she wanted a break which left Charlie &amp;#8220;depressed&amp;#8221;, his mum had told cops at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  9310.  
  9311.  
  9312.  
  9313. &lt;p&gt;Det Sgt Matthew Hendry of Norfolk &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; said in a report to Charlie&amp;#8217;s inquest: &amp;#8220;Both sides of his family were loving, responsible people who clearly loved him very much.&lt;/p&gt;
  9314.  
  9315.  
  9316.  
  9317. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was clearly struggling greatly with this matter and his father and mother had not seen him this low before.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9318.  
  9319.  
  9320.  
  9321. &lt;p&gt;Norfolk&amp;#8217;s senior coroner Jacqueline Lake concluded Charlie had &amp;#8220;taken his own life but the evidence does not reveal his intentions at the time&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9322.  
  9323.  
  9324.  
  9325. &lt;p&gt;At a separate hearing for Harriet, the inquest was told she had been admitted to hospital on October 7 after an overdose.&lt;/p&gt;
  9326.  
  9327.  
  9328.  
  9329. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs-crisis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Staff at A&amp;amp;E&lt;/a&gt; recommended Harriet have a mental health assessment &amp;#8211; which didn&amp;#8217;t take place after telling the mental health liaison team she wanted to be discharged.&lt;/p&gt;
  9330.  
  9331.  
  9332.  
  9333. &lt;p&gt;She was then referred to the crisis team who paid her a visit on October 11 where she said she didn&amp;#8217;t want any support, the hearing heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  9334.  
  9335.  
  9336.  
  9337. &lt;p&gt;Two days later she was discharged from crisis services.&lt;/p&gt;
  9338.  
  9339.  
  9340.  
  9341. &lt;p&gt;Crisis nurse Melissa Moss told the court Harriet said she was &amp;#8220;fine&amp;#8221; and found support offers &amp;#8220;patronising&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9342.  
  9343.  
  9344.  
  9345. &lt;p&gt;Ms Moss then passed on contact details to Harriet&amp;#8217;s mum, Frances, and further support options.&lt;/p&gt;
  9346.  
  9347.  
  9348.  
  9349. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, Harriet was found unresponsive at her home a few weeks later and pronounced dead despite paramedics&amp;#8217; best efforts to administer CPR.&lt;/p&gt;
  9350.  
  9351.  
  9352.  
  9353. &lt;p&gt;Ms Lake recorded a conclusion that Harriet had died by suicide.&lt;/p&gt;
  9354.  
  9355.  
  9356.  
  9357. &lt;p&gt;The coroner added: &amp;#8220;She self-discharged from the hospital on October 7 and then did not engage with mental health services or her GP.&lt;/p&gt;
  9358.  
  9359.  
  9360.  
  9361. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She continued to ask how she would manage without her son &amp;#8211; and spoke of wanting to be with him again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9362.  
  9363.  
  9364.  
  9365. &lt;p&gt;The medical cause of both Harriet and Charlie&amp;#8217;s deaths were given as hanging at the inquests.&lt;/p&gt;
  9366.

  9380. EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide &lt;/p&gt;
  9382. &lt;div&gt;
  9383. &lt;p&gt;It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.&lt;/p&gt;
  9384. &lt;p&gt;It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.&lt;/p&gt;
  9385. &lt;p&gt;And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.&lt;/p&gt;
  9386. &lt;p&gt;Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.&lt;/p&gt;
  9387. &lt;p&gt;That is why&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youre-not-alone/&quot;&gt;The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9388. &lt;p&gt;The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.&lt;/p&gt;
  9389. &lt;p&gt;Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others…&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7194521/the-sun-suicide-prevention-campaign-launch/&quot;&gt;You’re Not Alone.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  9417. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THIS latest picture of King Charles looking so well with Queen Camilla on the day after their 19th wedding anniversary brought me great joy.&lt;/p&gt;
  9418.  
  9419.  
  9420.  
  9421. &lt;p&gt;Not just because it is heartening to see &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;our monarch&lt;/a&gt; on the mend.&lt;/p&gt;

  9438.  
  9439.  
  9440.  
  9441. &lt;p&gt;But the truth is I have desperately missed working with him.&lt;/p&gt;
  9442.  
  9443.  
  9444.  
  9445. &lt;p&gt;After long weeks of worrying about him since those dark days in January when it was announced the King had cancer, I went to Windsor Castle at Easter to photograph him with members of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/royal-family/&quot;&gt;Royal Family&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9446.  
  9447.  
  9448.  
  9449. &lt;p&gt;And when I was told he was going to do a walkabout after the Easter Sunday church service, I knew then that things were getting better.&lt;/p&gt;
  9450.  
  9451.  
  9452.  
  9453. &lt;p&gt;His face sparkled and the enthusiasm I have witnessed for more than 40 years was still there. He looked remarkably well.&lt;/p&gt;
  9454.  
  9455.  
  9456.  
  9457. &lt;p&gt;And when he went and embraced the crowd, shaking their hands, I knew he was back on the mend.&lt;/p&gt;
  9458.

  9461. &lt;p&gt;He was finally in touch with the public that he’d missed so much while recovering from his awful illness, post-prostate operation and the cancer treatment.&lt;/p&gt;

  9469. &lt;p&gt;It has been a hell of a year for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot;&gt;King Charles&lt;/a&gt; and his devoted&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; Queen, Camilla.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  9477. &lt;p&gt;Almost 12 months ago, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/king-charles-iiis-coronation/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the coronation&lt;/a&gt; was a huge success.&lt;/p&gt;
  9478.  
  9479.  
  9480.  
  9481. &lt;p&gt;As I photographed the newly crowned King and Queen on the balcony of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/buckingham-palace/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Buckingham Palace&lt;/a&gt;, they looked at each other and almost seemed to be saying “we’ve done it, we’ve actually done it”.&lt;/p&gt;

  9505. &lt;p&gt;Charles had such great plans, some of which are already happening, like opening &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6440759/where-balmoral-castle-scotland-queen-visit-when/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Balmoral &lt;/a&gt;to the public this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; and creating a solar farm at his Norfolk estate, Sandringham.&lt;/p&gt;
  9506.  
  9507.  
  9508.  
  9509. &lt;p&gt;But then came his cancer diagnosis. And the Royal Family was dealt a double blow when the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-middleton/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Princess of &lt;span id=&quot;58f881c6-690b-4846-ad1c-7b669da1ff08&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was admitted to hospital for abdominal surgery which was followed by&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26915672/princess-kate-cancer-video-save-lives-charities/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; her own cancer diagnosis.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9510.  
  9511.  
  9512.  
  9513. &lt;p&gt;Losing two key members of the family — and then William, who had to look after Catherine and the children — added to their woes.&lt;/p&gt;
  9514.  
  9515.  
  9516.  
  9517. &lt;p&gt;But for these setbacks, I’m sure Charles would have planned much more. &lt;/p&gt;
  9518.  
  9519.  
  9520.  
  9521. &lt;p&gt;His well-received &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; broadcast gave no hint of the illness that would strike him down in January.&lt;/p&gt;
  9522.  
  9523.  
  9524.  
  9525. &lt;p&gt;He’s such an incredibly fit man who exercises, &lt;span id=&quot;1b91e9d7-94a0-4652-9215-1817dab06db4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;watches&lt;/span&gt; his diet and has 97 military uniforms that all still fit.&lt;/p&gt;

  9542. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February&amp;nbsp;21&lt;/strong&gt;: King tells Rishi Sunak he had been &amp;#8220;reduced to tears&amp;#8221; by get well cards&lt;/p&gt;
  9543. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 21&lt;/strong&gt;: Princess of Wales and King have lunch at Windsor Castle&lt;/p&gt;
  9544. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 22&lt;/strong&gt;: Kate announces&amp;nbsp;via video statement that she is being treated for cancer&lt;/p&gt;
  9545. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 31:&lt;/strong&gt; King attends Easter Sunday service and tales part in &amp;#8216;walkabout&amp;#8217; with members of the public and aides say &amp;#8216;it was a significant step&amp;#8217; as KIng had &amp;#8216;responded to treatment very encouragingly&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  9546. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April 4:&lt;/strong&gt; The Sun exclusively reveals King has ordered aides to &amp;#8216;supercharge&amp;#8217; his diary for the summer and is &amp;#8216;raring to go&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  9547. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April&amp;nbsp;10: &lt;/strong&gt;King and Queen embark on break at Birkhall, in Scottish Highlands&lt;/p&gt;

  9550. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April 30&lt;/strong&gt;: King will mark his public comeback by visiting a cancer hospital with the&amp;nbsp;Queen&lt;/p&gt;
  9551. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 8 and 21:&lt;/strong&gt; Buckingham Palace Garden Parties&lt;/p&gt;
  9552. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 21 &amp;#8211; 25&lt;/strong&gt;: Chelsea Flower Show&lt;/p&gt;
  9553. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 6:&lt;/strong&gt; 80th anniversary D-Day commemorations in France and UK&lt;/p&gt;
  9554. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 15&lt;/strong&gt;: Trooping the Colour birthday parade in London&lt;/p&gt;

  9556. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 18 &amp;#8211; 22&lt;/strong&gt;: Royal Ascot&lt;/p&gt;

  9560. &lt;/div&gt;
  9561. &lt;/div&gt;
  9562. &lt;/div&gt;
  9564.  
  9565.  
  9566.  
  9567. &lt;p&gt;Charles is also a workaholic. &lt;/p&gt;
  9568.  
  9569.  
  9570.  
  9571. &lt;p&gt;In spite of his illness, the king has carried out as much work as he possibly can, tackling his red boxes every day.&lt;/p&gt;
  9572.  
  9573.  
  9574.  
  9575. &lt;p&gt;Where possible, he has held his weekly audience with the Prime Minister and dealt with the comings and goings of ambassadors as well as his Privy Council duties. &lt;/p&gt;
  9576.  
  9577.  
  9578.  
  9579. &lt;p&gt;But he had to leave his visits and royal engagements to his wife, his son &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-william/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;dac29afe-a60e-484a-9522-e7b389ce06d1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Prince&lt;/span&gt; William&lt;/a&gt;, brother Edward and his sister Anne.&lt;/p&gt;
  9580.  
  9581.  
  9582.  
  9583. &lt;p&gt;So, after nearly four months away it’s great to see him planning to be back at work as soon as &lt;span id=&quot;db2af96f-f249-4cba-951c-90044d629fef&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; week with his visit to a cancer centre.&lt;/p&gt;
  9584.  
  9585.  
  9586.  
  9587. &lt;p&gt;And the lovely photo that the Palace put out yesterday of the King and Queen looking so happy and relaxed in the garden at Buckingham Palace certainly tells me that we will be working together very soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  9588.  
  9589.  
  9590.

  9611. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Does today&amp;#8217;s announcement mean King Charles&amp;#8217; cancer treatment has been successful or finished? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9612. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s treatment programme is ongoing but doctors are &amp;#8220;sufficiently pleased&amp;#8221; with the progress so far and Charles is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties. Further royal engagements will be adapted where necessary to cut down on any recovery risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  9613. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How much longer will King Charles receive treatment? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9614. &lt;p&gt;A: While it is too early to say, the King&amp;#8217;s medical team are &amp;#8220;very encouraged&amp;#8221; by progress made so far and remain &amp;#8220;positive&amp;#8221; about his recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  9615. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How many engagements will King Charles undertake in the weeks and months ahead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9616. &lt;p&gt;A: They will be announced nearer the time in the usual manner and will remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice. It will not be a full summer programme. His Majesty will continue with all official State business and selected Audiences.&lt;/p&gt;
  9617. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Is there a risk King Charles may be taking on too much with these external duties?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9618. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s schedule will be carefully designed to meet his recovery needs and he will be in close consultation with his medical team.&lt;/p&gt;
  9619. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will King Charles attend the Birthday Parade, D-Day Commemorations, Garden Parties, Royal Ascot, or an Autumn overseas Tour?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9620. &lt;p&gt;A: Planning continues for ways in which the King and Queen can attend these summer and autumn engagements. All future plans remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice.&lt;/p&gt;
  9621. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How is King Charles feeling?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9622. &lt;p&gt;A: The Palace said: &amp;#8220;His Majesty is greatly encouraged to be resuming public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued car and expertise.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9691.  
  9692.  
  9693.  
  9694. &lt;p&gt;The ex-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225859/leeds-united/&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196666/crystal-palace/&quot;&gt;Crystal Palace&lt;/a&gt; chief, 75, stepped down at Aberdeen last month and then &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27096896/neil-warnock-officially-retires-football/&quot;&gt;announced he was quitting management altogether&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9695.  
  9696.  
  9697.  
  9698. &lt;p&gt;And Warnock was labelled &amp;#8220;actually unreal&amp;#8221; by one viewer for his live TV verdict on Martin being quizzed so soon after a costly mauling.&lt;/p&gt;
  9699.  
  9700.  
  9701.  
  9702. &lt;p&gt;The former Huddersfield and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225558/middlesbrough/&quot;&gt;Middlesbrough&lt;/a&gt; boss told Sky Sports: &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;ve picked a time when you don&amp;#8217;t want to be interviewed.&lt;/p&gt;
  9703.  
  9704.  
  9705.  
  9706. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you&amp;#8217;ve lost 5-0 and the questions he answered &amp;#8211; I might have chinned him if it had been me, but I know you can&amp;#8217;t do that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9707.  
  9708.  
  9709.  
  9710. &lt;p&gt;However, Warnock also showed his lighter side with a tasty solution to how Martin can help the Saints overcome the low point of their season.&lt;/p&gt;
  9711.  
  9712.  
  9713.  
  9714. &lt;p&gt;The one-time Cardiff manager joked: &amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s got to take the players for a Chinese tomorrow or something!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9715.  
  9716.  
  9717.  
  9718. &lt;p&gt;But he insisted the only way Southampton can repay their travelling fans for such a terrible display was to get promotion.&lt;/p&gt;
  9719.  
  9720.  
  9721.  
  9722. &lt;p&gt;Realistically, though, the fourth-placed Saints can now only win an instant return to the Premier League via the play-offs.&lt;/p&gt;
  9723.  
  9724.  
  9725.

  9727.  
  9728.  
  9729.  
  9730. &lt;p&gt;Fans loved Warnock&amp;#8217;s blunt-talking &amp;#8211; as they reckon football lacks such raw emotion.&lt;/p&gt;
  9731.  
  9732.  
  9733.  
  9734. &lt;p&gt;One viewer said: &amp;#8220;Box office ain’t he&amp;#8221; while another wanted him back &amp;#8220;if only for the bants&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9930.  
  9931.  
  9932.  
  9933. &lt;p&gt;However, the move is only temporary and will take place from tonight for the next week.&lt;/p&gt;
  9934.  
  9935.  
  9936.  
  9937. &lt;p&gt;Shows such as Channel 4 News, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gogglebox/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gogglebox &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/countdown/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Countdown &lt;/a&gt;will see their opening music be performed on a piano.&lt;/p&gt;
  9938.  
  9939.  
  9940.  
  9941. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s all part of bosses&amp;#8217; attempts to promote the second series of The Piano, which stars &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/claudia-winkleman/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Claudia Winkleman&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9957. &lt;p&gt;Finally, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/come-dine-with-me/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Come Dine With Me&lt;/a&gt;: The Professionals will also receive a sprinkle of Piano magic.&lt;/p&gt;
  9958.  
  9959.  
  9960.  
  9961. &lt;p&gt;Channel 4’s Chief Content Officer Ian Katz said: “The Piano is that rarest of things, a TV show that makes people feel better about the world after watching it than they did before.&lt;/p&gt;
  9962.  
  9963.  
  9964.  
  9965. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are spreading a little of that musical magic by replacing the theme tunes of some of our best loved shows with specially recorded piano versions.&lt;/p&gt;
  9966.  
  9967.  
  9968.  
  9969. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Big thanks go out to the talented composers and performers who have made this happen and our production partners who are joining us in celebrating the return of The Piano.”&lt;/p&gt;

  10017. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;RONNIE O&amp;#8217;SULLIVAN is arguably the greatest ever player to grace a snooker table &amp;#8211; and he is the favourite to win the World Snooker Championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  10018.  
  10019.  
  10020.  
  10021. &lt;p&gt;The snooker legend is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18439872/ronnie-osullivan-world-snooker-championship-final-judd-trump/&quot;&gt;SEVEN-time world champion&lt;/a&gt; and holds many records, including the fastest maximum break, highest number of century breaks, and the most Triple Crown event titles (23).&lt;/p&gt;
  10022.  
  10023.  
  10024.  
  10025. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_26119357&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ronnie-osullivan-england-poses-trophy-873812464.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-26119357&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Ronnie O&amp;#8217;Sullivan is a snooker legend who has won many titles[/caption]
  10026.  
  10027.  
  10028.  
  10029. &lt;p&gt;And O&amp;#8217;Sullivan has pocketed a lot of winnings during his illustrious career which is highlighted by his approximate net worth of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25340000/ronnie-osullivan-snooker-money-spending/#:~:text=Despite%20being%20the%20world%20No1,fame%20go%20to%20his%20head.&amp;amp;text=After%20a%20scrappy%206%2D3,celebrate%20with%20an%20upmarket%20meal.&quot;&gt;£14million.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10030.  
  10031.  
  10032.  
  10033. &lt;p&gt;Several reports suggested that The Rocket is planning to bring down the curtain on his golden 32-year snooker career after admitting that he has fallen out of love with the demands of the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  10034.  
  10035.  
  10036.  
  10037. &lt;p&gt;However, O&amp;#8217;Sullivan himself revealed that he is NOT going to retire as he is enjoying one of his finest seasons after previously winning the Shanghai Masters, UK Championship and Masters.&lt;/p&gt;
  10038.  
  10039.  
  10040.  
  10041. &lt;p&gt;Ronnie is also leading the way on the snooker world rankings which is another reason why he finds it hard to walk away from the sport.&lt;/p&gt;
  10042.  
  10043.  
  10044.  
  10045. &lt;p&gt;But fans all want to know when is the snooker legend next in action.&lt;/p&gt;

  10062.  
  10063.  
  10064.  
  10065. &lt;p&gt;O&amp;#8217;Sullivan will face Ryan Day and the match begins from&lt;strong&gt; 10am BST&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10071.  
  10072.  
  10073. &lt;p&gt;Ronnie O&amp;#8217;Sullivan revealed that he plans on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21626305/ronnie-osullivan-snooker-retirement-plan/&quot;&gt;ending his illustrious snooker career&lt;/a&gt; in Asia.&lt;/p&gt;

  10078.  
  10079.  
  10080.  
  10081. &lt;p&gt;Speaking in March 2023, The Rocket said: &amp;#8220;I’d like to finish my career off in Asia. This is where snooker is more popular – like in China, Thailand and Hong Kong.&lt;/p&gt;
  10082.  
  10083.  
  10084.  
  10085. &lt;p&gt;“With Covid it was possible to come here. My sponsors like to see me in Asia.&lt;/p&gt;
  10086.  
  10087.  
  10088.  
  10089. &lt;p&gt;“When things open up more, I may play more in Asia and skip a few events in the UK. I cannot do them all.&lt;/p&gt;
  10090.  
  10091.  
  10092.  
  10093. &lt;p&gt;“It’s always good to play a local favourite, whether that is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ken-doherty/&quot;&gt;Ken Doherty&lt;/a&gt; in Ireland, John Higgins in Scotland, Mark Williams in Wales, James Wattana here in Thailand or Ding Junhui in China.

  10106.  
  10107.  
  10108.  
  10109. &lt;p&gt;Eklent Kaci is the reigning &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24978776/what-is-a-golden-break-nine-ball-pool/&quot;&gt;nine-ball&lt;/a&gt; champion after humiliating Joshua Filler 13-4 in last year&amp;#8217;s final.&lt;/p&gt;

  10114.  
  10115.  
  10116.  
  10117. &lt;p&gt;And the Albanian star will be desperate to retain his title once again at the first Matchroom Major event of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10118.  
  10119.  
  10120.  
  10121. &lt;p&gt;However, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27337234/troy-deeney-career-change-pool-tournament-watford-birmingham/&quot;&gt;ex-footballer Deeney&lt;/a&gt; could be a real dark horse following his wildcard entry for the competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  10122.  
  10123.  
  10124.  
  10125. &lt;p&gt;But the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196664/watford/&quot;&gt;Watford&lt;/a&gt; hero has admitted he doesn&amp;#8217;t expect instant success   &amp;#8211; his main goal is to raise the profile of the sport.&lt;/p&gt;

  10230.  
  10231. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/troy-deeney/&quot;&gt;Troy Deeney&lt;/a&gt; hopes that his participation in this year&amp;#8217;s tournament will push the sport forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  10232.  
  10233.  
  10234.  
  10235. &lt;p&gt;Deeney told Sky Sports: “It’s something different, isn’t it? Something completely new, I just like pushing the boundaries a little bit, and seeing how it goes.&lt;/p&gt;
  10236.  
  10237.  
  10238.  
  10239. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve always got fond respect for any athlete in any profession. To do what they do takes hours and years of practice and dedication, so why not try my hand at it when the opportunity has come around?”&lt;/p&gt;
  10240.  
  10241.  
  10242.  
  10243. &lt;p&gt;“The aim is to go there and not embarrass myself to be honest, but also be humble enough and vulnerable enough to know these guys have been doing it for years,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  10244.  
  10245.  
  10246.  
  10247. &lt;p&gt;“You can’t just put a few months’ worth of genuine training into it and a lot of years of odd playing – sometimes with a beer in hand as well – and expect to beat these guys.&lt;/p&gt;
  10248.  
  10249.  
  10250.  
  10251. &lt;p&gt;“But I know as soon as I’m involved in anything, my competitive edge will come flowing through anyways. I’ll give it a good go.&lt;/p&gt;
  10252.  
  10253.  
  10254.  
  10255. &lt;p&gt;“My end goal for this is to push the sport forward as much as I possibly can.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  10268. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;SIR JIM RATCLIFFE is leaning towards keeping Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, according to reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  10269.  
  10270.  
  10271.  
  10272. &lt;p&gt;The Dutchman has come under fire this season with United set to miss out on the Champions League.&lt;/p&gt;
  10273.  
  10274.  
  10275.  
  10276. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27569133&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/ccf5c3b5-f48a-47ac-aa72-88ace3727fb9.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27569133&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;674&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Manchester United could keep Erik ten Hag beyond the summer&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  10277.  
  10278.  
  10279.  
  10280. &lt;p&gt;He has reached the FA Cup final for a second successive year but bad results and a lack of progression on the pitch have led questions to be raised.&lt;/p&gt;
  10281.  
  10282.  
  10283.  
  10284. &lt;p&gt;United have reportedly been considering options to replace Ten Hag but sources close to Ratcliffe and his team believe the new owner may choose to keep him in post, report &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/40021472/manchester-united-face-summer-big-decisions-erik-ten-hag-transfers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;ESPN (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;ESPN&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10285.  
  10286.  
  10287.  
  10288. &lt;p&gt;Keeping Ten Hag could prove to be a cheaper option with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27526449/erik-ten-hag-pay-cut-salary-man-utd&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;manager&amp;#8217;s wages set to be cut&lt;/a&gt; if he fails to qualify for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/champions-league/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10289.  
  10290.  
  10291.  
  10292. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;United&lt;/a&gt; are considering their options by preparing alternative managerial targets if they decide to sack Ten Hag.&lt;/p&gt;
  10293.  
  10294.  
  10295.  
  10296. &lt;p&gt;However there are few stand-out names at present with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; and Bayern Munich also fighting for top targets.&lt;/p&gt;
  10297.  
  10298.  
  10299.  
  10300. &lt;p&gt;And one of United&amp;#8217;s preferred choices, Gareth Southgate, could still be in charge of England by July, when pre-season begins.&lt;/p&gt;
  10301.  
  10302.  
  10303.  
  10304. &lt;p&gt;The Red Devils have also been linked with former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; managers Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel, who has led Bayern to the Champions League semi-final.&lt;/p&gt;
  10305.  
  10306.  
  10307.  
  10308. &lt;p&gt;While Wolves boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26939711/man-utd-gary-oneil-wolves/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gary O&amp;#8217;Neil is also of interest&lt;/a&gt; but could join in a coaching capacity.&lt;/p&gt;
  10309.  
  10310.  
  10311.  
  10312. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  10315. &lt;/div&gt;
  10316. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10317. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content-img&quot;&gt;

  10320. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10321. Where do the pundits stand on Erik ten Hag&amp;#039;s Manchester United future &lt;/p&gt;
  10323. &lt;div&gt;
  10324. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jamie Carragher &amp;#8211; Sacked&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10325. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t see how Erik ten Hag stays. It&amp;#8217;s just performance after performance.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  10326. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gary Neville &amp;#8211; Stay if he wins the FA Cup&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10327. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To sack a manager who’s won two trophies in his first two seasons at the club I think would be extreme.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10328. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Louis Saha &amp;#8211; On the fence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10329. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t see it as clearly but they need changes from the players but they need changes from him as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10330. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alan Shearer &amp;#8211; Sacked&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10331. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I believe the future of the Man Utd manager is already determined. Even if they win the FA Cup I think he&amp;#8217;s gone.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10332. &lt;/div&gt;
  10333. &lt;/div&gt;
  10334. &lt;/div&gt;

  10430. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;SHOPPERS are racing to the bargain supermarket to snap up the Lion bar dupe which is &amp;#8220;better than the original&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10431.  
  10432.  
  10433.  
  10434. &lt;p&gt;The popular chocolate bar copycat is scanning at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt; for just a fraction of the price.&lt;/p&gt;
  10435.  
  10436.  
  10437.  
  10438. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568709&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NINTCHDBPICT000896952475_59c998.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568709&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Aldi&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Aldi&amp;#8217;s dupe of the Lion bar has been scanning at the till for the fraction of the original&amp;#8217;s price[/caption]
  10439.  
  10440.  
  10441.  
  10442. &lt;p&gt;Lion bar fans are thrilled to find out that they can swap their favourite treat for a lesser-known imitation to save up some &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10443.  
  10444.  
  10445.  
  10446. &lt;p&gt;If you have a sweet tooth but want to stay on the budget, then Aldi&amp;#8217;s version of the chocolate could spare your wallet while satisfying your cravings.&lt;/p&gt;
  10447.  
  10448.  
  10449.  
  10450. &lt;p&gt;A pack of 13 bars is selling at the bargain retailer for only £1.15 &amp;#8211; less than 8p per chocolate.&lt;/p&gt;
  10451.  
  10452.  
  10453.  
  10454. &lt;p&gt;The treat &amp;#8211; named Roar to reference the original &amp;#8211;  offers the same deliciousness with caramel wafer and wheat crisp covered in milk chocolate.&lt;/p&gt;
  10455.  
  10456.  
  10457.  
  10458. &lt;p&gt;The sweet treat was discovered by an eagle-eyed shopper who posted it on a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; group with the caption: &amp;#8220;First time seeing these, actually not too bad! Considering I&amp;#8217;m a big chocolate eater!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10459.  
  10460.  
  10461.  
  10462. &lt;p&gt;Fans have flocked to the comments to express their excitement over the cheap copycat.&lt;/p&gt;
  10463.  
  10464.  
  10465.  
  10466. &lt;p&gt;One person said: &amp;#8220;Think there are better than the real ones.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10467.  
  10468.  
  10469.  
  10470. &lt;p&gt;Another one added: &amp;#8220;My family&amp;#8217;s favourites along with the jive bars.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10471.  
  10472.  
  10473.  
  10474. &lt;p&gt;A third person wrote: &amp;#8220;They are delicious.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10475.  
  10476.  
  10477.  
  10478. &lt;p&gt;Someone else said: &amp;#8220;Bought them for hubby but tried one too. I have to say they are really good.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10501.  
  10502. &lt;p&gt;Aldi &amp;#8211; known for its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dupes/&quot;&gt;dupes&lt;/a&gt; and bargain deals &amp;#8211; has recently &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27464395/aldi-dupe-mcdonalds-halloumi-fries/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;launched some McDonald&amp;#8217;s style halloumi fries&lt;/a&gt; and the item has already been given the thumbs up.&lt;/p&gt;
  10503.  
  10504.  
  10505.  
  10506. &lt;p&gt;And if you thought you couldn&amp;#8217;t love Aldi any more than you already do &amp;#8211; prepare to think again.&lt;/p&gt;
  10507.  
  10508.  
  10509.  
  10510. &lt;p&gt;The supermarket chain could slash your shop by £13 with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/25929332/six-aldi-dupes-must-buy-slash-supermarket-shop/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;these six products&lt;/a&gt; that you need to nab.&lt;/p&gt;
  10511.  
  10512.  
  10513.  
  10514. &lt;p&gt;Not only is there a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;McDonald’s&lt;/a&gt; dupe that fans love, but there’s also a buy identical to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dominos-pizza/&quot;&gt;Domino’s&lt;/a&gt; product too.&lt;/p&gt;
  10515.  
  10516.  
  10517.  
  10518. &lt;p&gt;In fact, ditching famous brands for lesser-known copycats on your weekly shop could save you nearly £300 a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10519.  
  10520.  
  10521.  
  10522. &lt;p&gt;But many of us are reluctant to make these &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/&quot;&gt;swaps&lt;/a&gt; if they compromise on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/taste-tests/&quot;&gt;taste&lt;/a&gt; especially if we have a sweet spot for a particular snack.&lt;/p&gt;
  10523.  
  10524.  
  10525.  
  10526. &lt;p&gt;That&amp;#8217;s why The Sun team tested dozens of supermarket copycats of top snack brands and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/25043154/supermarket-dupes-cadbury-mcvities-test/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;rounded up seven winners&lt;/a&gt; better than Cadbury, Mr Kipling and McVities.&lt;/p&gt;
  10527.  
  10528.  
  10529.  
  10530. &lt;p&gt;As May bank holidays are fast approaching, Aldi has also&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27537146/aldi-reduces-price-favourite-whispering-angel-dupe-wine/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; reduced their cult-favourite Whispering Angel dupe &lt;/a&gt;to just £4.99 &amp;#8211; but you have to be quick.&lt;/p&gt;
  10531.  
  10532.  
  10533.  
  10534. &lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#8217;s be honest, even if the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather-2/&quot;&gt;weather&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;isn&amp;#8217;t the best, most of us will be sitting outside enjoying a glass or two to make the most of the long weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  10535.  
  10536.  
  10537.  
  10538. &lt;p&gt;And now you can stock up on your favourite wine for less than a fiver as it will be reduced to just £4.99 for a limited time.&lt;/p&gt;
  10539.  
  10540.  
  10541.  
  10542. &lt;p&gt;The price drop will start on April 29 until 5 May and the deal allows customers to buy two bottles per transaction for the bargain price.&lt;/p&gt;
  10543.  
  10544.  
  10545.  
  10546. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  10547. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  10548. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;How can I save on my supermarket shop?&lt;/h3&gt;
  10549. &lt;/div&gt;
  10550. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10552. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10553. THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop. &lt;/p&gt;
  10555. &lt;div&gt;
  10556. &lt;p&gt;You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they&amp;#8217;ve been reduced.&lt;/p&gt;
  10557. &lt;p&gt;If the food is fresh, you&amp;#8217;ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.&lt;/p&gt;
  10558. &lt;p&gt;Making a list should also save you money, as you&amp;#8217;ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.&lt;/p&gt;
  10559. &lt;p&gt;Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.&lt;/p&gt;
  10560. &lt;p&gt;This means ditching &amp;#8220;finest&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;luxury&amp;#8221; products and instead going for &amp;#8220;own&amp;#8221; or value&amp;#8221; type of lines.&lt;/p&gt;
  10561. &lt;p&gt;Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they&amp;#8217;re misshapen or imperfect.&lt;/p&gt;
  10562. &lt;p&gt;For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.&lt;/p&gt;
  10563. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in&amp;nbsp;Healthy Start vouchers&amp;nbsp;to use at the supermarket too.&lt;/p&gt;
  10564. &lt;p&gt;Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the&amp;nbsp;Household Support Fund.&lt;/p&gt;
  10565. &lt;/div&gt;
  10566. &lt;/div&gt;

  10598.  
  10599.  
  10600.  
  10601. &lt;p&gt;Together, they are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18316274/jack-grealish-david-beckham-fashion-pop-culture/&quot;&gt;British football&amp;#8217;s &lt;/a&gt;most marketable couple.&lt;/p&gt;
  10602.  
  10603.  
  10604.  
  10605. &lt;p&gt;From growing up in Solihull in the West Midlands as love struck teenagers to their epic rise as front page news, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-grealish/&quot;&gt;Jack Grealish&lt;/a&gt; and Sasha Attwood, both 28, are making a mint through endorsements.&lt;/p&gt;
  10606.  
  10607.  
  10608.  
  10609. &lt;p&gt;Grealish has signed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27554494/england-man-city-jack-grealish-pepsi-deal/&quot;&gt;a seven-figure deal with Pepsi&lt;/a&gt; to become the company&amp;#8217;s latest brand ambassador.&lt;/p&gt;
  10610.  
  10611.  
  10612.  
  10613. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about the deal, he said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m buzzing to partner with Pepsi Max as a global brand ambassador.&lt;/p&gt;
  10614.  
  10615.  
  10616.  
  10617. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Pepsi Max has a great heritage working with the biggest names in world football, and I&amp;#8217;m excited to join their mission to unlock enjoyment for football fans around the world and encourage everyone to play the beautiful game!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10618.  
  10619.  
  10620.  
  10621. &lt;p&gt;Sasha is also&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/16259113/inside-glitzy-world-of-jack-grealish-and-sasha/&quot;&gt; raking it in&lt;/a&gt; by using her beauty and online presence &amp;#8211; and some 250,000 followers on Instagram &amp;#8211; to draw attention to a variety of beauty and fashion brands.&lt;/p&gt;

  10626.  
  10627.  
  10628.  
  10629. &lt;p&gt;Incredibly, Jack is on course to make £100million &lt;strong&gt;BEFORE &lt;/strong&gt;he turns 30.&lt;/p&gt;
  10630.  
  10631.  
  10632.  
  10633. &lt;p&gt;While industry insiders have said that he could make £1million a year from his exploits on and off the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  10634.  
  10635.  
  10636.  
  10637. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, he signed a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21903519/jack-grealish-net-worth-manchester-city/&quot;&gt;staggering boot deal &lt;/a&gt;with German sportswear giant Puma for a reputed £10million a year.&lt;/p&gt;

  10661. &lt;p&gt;Grealish said of his £200,000-a-week Puma deal: “They are a brand that’s really caught my eye in the last few years.&lt;/p&gt;
  10662.  
  10663.  
  10664.  
  10665. &lt;p&gt;“Especially recently, the collabs they are doing with other brands — the people they have on board now in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nba/&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/f1/&quot;&gt;F1 &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/&quot;&gt;football &lt;/a&gt;— it’s really eye-catching and it was a no-brainer for me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10666.  
  10667.  
  10668.  
  10669. &lt;p&gt;Off the pitch, Jack cuts a fashionable figure.&lt;/p&gt;
  10670.  
  10671.  
  10672.  
  10673. &lt;p&gt;Shortly after his exploits at Euro 2022, and signing for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot;&gt;Man City&lt;/a&gt; in a £100million deal, the down-to-earth Brummie got a call from Gucci.&lt;/p&gt;
  10674.  
  10675.  
  10676.  
  10677. &lt;p&gt;The Italian fashion house, famous for using A-listers like Jared Leto and Harry Styles in their ad campaigns, chose Grealish to wear their stylish clothing.&lt;/p&gt;
  10678.  
  10679.  
  10680.  
  10681. &lt;p&gt;He was reportedly paid £10million for the privilege to model the designer threads.&lt;/p&gt;
  10682.  
  10683.  
  10684.  
  10685. &lt;p&gt;Before that, the footballer also signed a deal with online retailer boohooMAN.&lt;/p&gt;
  10686.  
  10687.  
  10688.  
  10689. &lt;p&gt;Again, that one was worth big money. He was paid somewhere in the tune of £1million to showcase his own range.&lt;/p&gt;
  10690.  
  10691.  
  10692.  
  10693. &lt;p&gt;It is understood razor brand &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/17791467/gillette-logo-hidden-meaning-revealed/&quot;&gt;Gillette&lt;/a&gt; is also eyeing up Jack to join their stable of global sporting personalities.&lt;/p&gt;

  10718.  
  10719.  
  10720.  
  10721. &lt;p&gt;She was discovered aged 13 on a shopping trip to Birmingham with her mum.&lt;/p&gt;

  10725. &lt;p&gt;After that, she appeared in various campaigns, including for House of Fraser.&lt;/p&gt;
  10726.  
  10727.  
  10728.  
  10729. &lt;p&gt;But it&amp;#8217;s since Jack and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/15764466/sasha-attwood-jack-grealish-girlfriend/&quot;&gt;Sasha&lt;/a&gt; have emerged as a football power couple that things have really taken off for the Solihull beauty.&lt;/p&gt;
  10730.  
  10731.  
  10732.  
  10733. &lt;p&gt;She has signed with Elite Model Management and has built up a huge online social media following.&lt;/p&gt;
  10734.  
  10735.  
  10736.  
  10737. &lt;p&gt;An incredible 264,000 followers on Instagram make her an attractive proposition for brands.&lt;/p&gt;
  10738.  
  10739.  
  10740.  
  10741. &lt;p&gt;Skincare is a huge market for her, with L&amp;#8217;Oreal featuring in paid partnerships online and make-up tutorial videos she posts.&lt;/p&gt;
  10742.  
  10743.  
  10744.  
  10745. &lt;p&gt;In 2021, Sasha followed Jack in working with Boohoo, and she is also regular model for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prettylittlething/&quot;&gt;Pretty Little Thing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10762.  
  10763.  
  10764.  
  10765. &lt;p&gt;Unlike the Three Lions star, she didn&amp;#8217;t have her own line. Instead, she modelled various ranges.&lt;/p&gt;
  10766.  
  10767.  
  10768.  
  10769. &lt;p&gt;That included maternity wear &amp;#8211; with Sacha wearing a fake bump for the photoshoot.&lt;/p&gt;
  10770.  
  10771.  
  10772.  
  10773. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;The new Posh and Becks&lt;/h2&gt;
  10774.  
  10775.  
  10776.  
  10777. &lt;p&gt;Jack and Sacha have been labelled the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27407879/victoria-beckham-birthday-trip-south-of-france/&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;new Posh and Becks&amp;#8217;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10778.  
  10779.  
  10780.  
  10781. &lt;p&gt;And although they haven&amp;#8217;t been seen wearing a matching leather look, they are well on their way to becoming a commercial success like those two.&lt;/p&gt;
  10782.  
  10783.  
  10784.  
  10785. &lt;p&gt;One source told The Sun: “Jack and Sasha are being jokingly called the new Posh and Becks by some of his mates because of their fashion deals.&lt;/p&gt;
  10786.  
  10787.  
  10788.  
  10789. &lt;p&gt;“He is the man of the moment in football but he’s got plenty of female fans too, and with Sasha, those around them think they could become a new power couple. They’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10790.  
  10791.  
  10792.  
  10793. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567640&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/d0132f3d-0cef-4079-b685-06ee0a2f66a4.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567640&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;777&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Grealish and Sasha have been compared to Posh and Becks by friends&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram @sasha__rebecca&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  10813. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PETER Kay has taken a subtle but savage swipe at Manchester arena bosses after his shows were cancelled twice. &lt;/p&gt;
  10814.  
  10815.  
  10816.  
  10817. &lt;p&gt;Fans of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/peter-kay/&quot;&gt;the comedian&lt;/a&gt;, 50, have been left gutted after the plug was pulled on his stand-up gigs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27555692/peter-kay-cancels-stand-up-shows-second-time/&quot;&gt;for a second time&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  10818.  
  10819.  
  10820.  
  10821. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568521&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/comedian-peter-kay-performs-live-774437626.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568521&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Peter Kay has hit back at Manchester&amp;#8217;s new arena after his shows were cancelled again[/caption]
  10822.  
  10823.  
  10824.  
  10825. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568513&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/leaving-fans-devastated-https-www-896950098.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568513&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;He added a cheeky small print (ringed by The Sun) to an edited poster[/caption]
  10826.  
  10827.  
  10828.  
  10829. &lt;p&gt;The opening of the brand new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;50b2edb0-9dce-48ea-a126-b9ec99d3f61a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;CO-OP&lt;/span&gt; Live venue is running behind schedule, meaning Peter cannot perform there yet. &lt;/p&gt;
  10830.  
  10831.  
  10832.  
  10833. &lt;p&gt;But furious Peter, who has made an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/18282777/peter-kay-return-11-years-charity/#:~:text=PETER%20Kay%20made%20an%20epic,the%20Manchester%20Central%20Convention%20Complex.&quot;&gt;epic comeback&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;in the last two years, has got his own back. &lt;/p&gt;
  10834.  
  10835.  
  10836.  
  10837. &lt;p&gt;Announcing that his two Manchester dates have been pushed back for a second time, he shared a newly edited tour poster online. &lt;/p&gt;
  10838.  
  10839.  
  10840.  
  10841. &lt;p&gt;The previous dates have been crossed out and Peter has added a small print to the bottom right-hand corner.&lt;/p&gt;
  10842.  
  10843.  
  10844.  
  10845. &lt;p&gt;He has written alongside an asterix: &amp;#8220;If they actually open the place.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10846.  
  10847.  
  10848.  
  10849. &lt;p&gt;Peter was forced to apologise for a second time on Friday after being told his rescheduled dates were unable to go ahead either. &lt;/p&gt;
  10850.  
  10851.  
  10852.  
  10853. &lt;p&gt;He had initially been booked to perform in Manchester on April 23 and April 24, but they were moved to April 29 and April 30. &lt;/p&gt;
  10854.  
  10855.  
  10856.  
  10857. &lt;p&gt;But frustrated fans will now have to wait even longer to watch the Bolton-born comic perform live on stage, with new dates being set for May 23 and May 24. &lt;/p&gt;
  10858.  
  10859.  
  10860.  
  10861. &lt;p&gt;Sharing the &lt;span id=&quot;66e9555f-cc49-4ded-99e9-d69d0e24b82d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, Peter wrote: &amp;#8220;To everybody with tickets, my apologies once again but unfortunately the Co-op Live still isn’t ready and so, as yet, remains untested for a large-scale audience.&lt;/p&gt;
  10862.  
  10863.  
  10864.  
  10865. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Consequently, they are having to reschedule my two shows yet again (I know I can’t believe it either).&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10886.  
  10887.  
  10888.  
  10889. &lt;p&gt;Peter explained how tickets will once again be transferred to the new dates, otherwise refunds will be issued if they&amp;#8217;re not suitable. &lt;/p&gt;
  10890.  
  10891.  
  10892.  
  10893. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s very disappointing but your safety is important and I won&amp;#8217;t compromise that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10894.  
  10895.  
  10896.  
  10897. &lt;p&gt;Peter made his return to the spotlight after 11 years in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  10898.  
  10899.  
  10900.  
  10901. &lt;p&gt;The funnyman had stepped away from the limelight in 2017 due to &amp;#8220;unforeseen family circumstances&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10902.  
  10903.  
  10904.  
  10905. &lt;p&gt;He did, however, make some one-off appearances for a number&amp;nbsp;of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/15721694/peter-kay-charity-gigs-best-gags/&quot;&gt;charity specials&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  10906.  
  10907.  
  10908.  
  10909. &lt;p&gt;Peter has been busy touring with his Better Late Than Never show since December 2022. It is due to run until &lt;span id=&quot;d5caa39f-0e95-47a8-92e3-726a9922e5bd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; year and will include one show at London&amp;#8217;s O2 Arena a month as part of a residency. &lt;/p&gt;
  10910.  
  10911.  
  10912.  
  10913. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this week, however, the &amp;#8220;gutted&amp;#8221; comedian issued his first statement about his Manchester shows&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27469043/peter-kay-gig-cancelled/&quot;&gt; just hours before he was due to go on stage.&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
  10914.  
  10915.  
  10916.  
  10917. &lt;p&gt;At the time, he said: “I’m truly gutted as I know how disappointing this will be for everyone with tickets, but obviously it’s a brand-new venue and it’s important that everything is finished and safe for full capacity audiences.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10918.  
  10919.  
  10920.  
  10921. &lt;p&gt;Prior to his Better Late Than Never shows, the last time Peter had been on stage was for his The Tour That Doesn&amp;#8217;t Tour Tour&amp;#8230; Now On Tour in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;

  10944. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;KYLE Walker missed his son Kairo&amp;#8217;s 4th birthday party thrown by his ex Lauryn Goodman amid a feud over their second child.&lt;/p&gt;
  10945.  
  10946.  
  10947.  
  10948. &lt;p&gt;The England footballer was notably absent from the bash &amp;#8211; months after&amp;nbsp;reality star Lauryn&amp;nbsp;it was&amp;nbsp;revealed he’s also dad to her ten-month-old daughter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10949.  
  10950.

  10956. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27563076&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/lauryn-goodman-instagram-403472951.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27563076&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram / @lauryngoodman91&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The footballer and Lauryn share son Kairo and a baby daughter[/caption]
  10957.  
  10958.  
  10959.  
  10960. &lt;p&gt;Kyle previously admitted to making “stupid choices” &amp;#8211; but The Sun can reveal friends claim he “doesn&amp;#8217;t think of&amp;nbsp;his&amp;nbsp;children&amp;nbsp;with Lauryn&amp;nbsp;as a mistake”.&lt;/p&gt;
  10961.  
  10962.  
  10963.  
  10964. &lt;p&gt;It comes after sources alleged his wife Annie won’t let Kyle have a relationship with his other two children.&lt;/p&gt;
  10965.  
  10966.  
  10967.  
  10968. &lt;p&gt;The non-negotiable demand is part of her ’terms&amp;#8217; to stay with him and dodge divorce.&lt;/p&gt;
  10969.  
  10970.  
  10971.  
  10972. &lt;p&gt;A source close to Lauryn said: &amp;#8220;Kairo had the best day surrounded by all of his friends and family.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10973.  
  10974.  
  10975.  
  10976. &lt;p&gt;They added: &amp;#8220;Kyle has already started to tell his friends that he never called his children mistakes in hope of it getting back to Lauryn.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10977.  
  10978.  
  10979.  
  10980. &lt;p&gt;“He said he didn’t mean it and was a poor choice of words and now regrets the fact it’s splashed all over the internet for them to read when they are older.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10981.  
  10982.  
  10983.  
  10984. &lt;p&gt;“He knows that Lauryn has not taken it lightly considering he said he would put all of the children above everything and he hasn’t done that yet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10985.  
  10986.  
  10987.  
  10988. &lt;p&gt;“He has repeated the same behaviour as the first time round which will result in the same outcome.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10989.  
  10990.  
  10991.  
  10992. &lt;p&gt;“He needs to put all of his children first whether that upsets Annie, his children deserve him to step up and that’s something Annie should have to face if she wants to stick by him.&lt;/p&gt;
  10993.  
  10994.  
  10995.  
  10996. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The children don’t deserve to be punished.&amp;nbsp;It only resulted in an obstacle when Lauryn’s daughter was conceived, before that their private arrangement worked fine&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11041. &lt;p&gt;The model and influencer is understood to have&amp;nbsp;broken the news to Annie in December.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11042.  
  11043.  
  11044.  
  11045. &lt;p&gt;Annie first kicked him out in 2019 after&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ex-on-the-beach/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ex On The Beach&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;star Laura Brown said they repeatedly romped in his&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bentley/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bentley&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11046.  
  11047.  
  11048.  
  11049. &lt;p&gt;She took the £160,000-a-week defender back but gave him the boot again when he revealed&amp;nbsp;Lauryn was having his baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  11050.  
  11051.  
  11052.  
  11053. &lt;p&gt;Walker moved into an £8,000-a-month flat nearby Hale,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cheshire/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Cheshire&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;-— but was then caught breaching lockdown rules by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/11329263/kyle-walker-sex-party-coronavirus-lockdown-hookers-man-city/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;having an orgy with two sex workers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11054.  
  11055.  
  11056.  
  11057. &lt;p&gt;The defender and a pal agreed to pay escort Louise McNamara, 21, and a 24-year-old Brazilian call girl £2,200 in cash.&lt;/p&gt;
  11058.  
  11059.  
  11060.  
  11061. &lt;p&gt;He told the girls his name was &amp;#8220;Kai&amp;#8221; before reportedly pulling out gold-coloured Shine condoms.&lt;/p&gt;
  11062.  
  11063.  
  11064.  
  11065. &lt;p&gt;He apologised before breaking&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lockdown/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;lockdown&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;rules a second time just weeks later during visits to see his family.&lt;/p&gt;
  11066.  
  11067.  
  11068.  
  11069. &lt;p&gt;Despite fathering another child, the couple reunited after Annie vowed to stay together for the sake of their three young kids.She had previously been humiliated after Kyle was unmasked as the father of Lauryn’s son Kairo, born in April 2020.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11070.  
  11071.  
  11072.  
  11073. &lt;p&gt;He had promised to have nothing more to do with Lauryn or his son.&lt;/p&gt;
  11074.  
  11075.  
  11076.  
  11077. &lt;p&gt;The pair resumed contact and&amp;nbsp;then it emerged&amp;nbsp;Lauryn was pregnant with their second child.&lt;br&gt;The Sun revealed she plans to take their two kids to the Euros — where the England ace’s wife and four boys will also support him.&lt;/p&gt;
  11078.  
  11079.  
  11080.  
  11081. &lt;p&gt;Lauryn, 33, told a pal: “I am determined my children will get to see their daddy playing for the Three Lions this summer.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11082.  
  11083.  
  11084.  
  11085. &lt;p&gt;Lauryn’s son Kairo&amp;#8217;s party was organised by Emily at Natural Events Company (@naturaleventscompany_) and Emily and Hannah Natural play company. (@naturalplaycompany_)&lt;/p&gt;
  11086.  
  11087.  
  11088.  
  11089. &lt;p&gt;They had a private videographer capture the day from Sian Richardson Family Photography. (@sianrichardsonfamily).&lt;/p&gt;

  11151. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27526817/cavalry-horses-injure-london-rampage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;During the ordeal&lt;/a&gt;, one horse crashed into a London tour bus outside Buckingham Palace Road and a black cab waiting at the Clermont Hotel &amp;#8211; smashing both sets of windows. &lt;/p&gt;
  11152.  
  11153.  
  11154.  
  11155. &lt;p&gt;The terror lasted for two hours before all of the horses were eventually calmed down and caught.&lt;/p&gt;
  11156.  
  11157.  
  11158.  
  11159. &lt;p&gt;Despite the chaos being blamed on construction workers dropping rubble, a video posted online, reportedly recorded on the same day, shows a horse throw a trooper to the ground at Horse Guards Parade.  &lt;/p&gt;
  11160.  
  11161.  
  11162.  
  11163. &lt;p&gt;Defence minister James Cartlidge said the two injured cavalry horses are named Vida and Quaker.&lt;/p&gt;
  11164.  
  11165.  
  11166.  
  11167. &lt;p&gt;He added it was an &amp;#8220;exceptional&amp;#8221; situation, explaining more than 150 animals are on exercise in the capital each day.&lt;/p&gt;
  11168.  
  11169.  
  11170.  
  11171. &lt;p&gt;Asked about the condition of the two seriously injured horses by LBC, he said he &amp;#8220;wouldn&amp;#8217;t want to say more&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11172.  
  11173.  
  11174.  
  11175. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;Obviously, we didn&amp;#8217;t want that situation to happen. What I would stress to you is that this is very exceptional.&lt;/p&gt;
  11176.  
  11177.  
  11178.  
  11179. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You are probably aware that the Army has horses out on exercise in central London every day of the week. It is about 150 horses on average exercising every day.&lt;/p&gt;

  11202.  
  11203. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So this is extremely unlikely this scenario. Unfortunately we have seen what has happened, but all I can say is the crucial thing, as you said yourself, no serious injuries to the public as far as we aware, and of course we will be keeping an eye on the situation.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11204.  
  11205.  
  11206.  
  11207. &lt;p&gt;The Army later said two horses involved had undergone operations.&lt;/p&gt;
  11208.  
  11209.  
  11210.  
  11211. &lt;p&gt;In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, the Army said one of those operated on had been taken to equine hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  11212.  
  11213.  
  11214.  
  11215. &lt;p&gt;Three soldiers who were injured would &amp;#8220;recover fully and return to duty&amp;#8221;, it added.&lt;/p&gt;
  11216.  
  11217.  
  11218.  
  11219. &lt;p&gt;The statement said: &amp;#8220;Of the seven horses which were spooked, five tried to bolt and four, Vida, Trojan, Quaker and Tennyson, broke loose.&lt;/p&gt;
  11220.  
  11221.  
  11222.  
  11223. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Two of the injured horses were operated on last night, with one transferred to an equine hospital. All remaining horses are being closely observed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11224.  
  11225.  
  11226.  
  11227. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our horses receive the highest standards of care, and those that did not undergo surgery are expected to return to duty in due course.&lt;/p&gt;
  11228.  
  11229.  
  11230.  
  11231. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We want to thank everyone who has shown such kindness and concern towards our soldiers and horses. We will provide more updates soon.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11232.  
  11233.  
  11234.  
  11235. &lt;p&gt;Pictures and videos of the horses were shared on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;, one of which showed a black 4&amp;#215;4 with blue lights following the animals.&lt;/p&gt;
  11236.  
  11237.  
  11238.  
  11239. &lt;p&gt;Footage posted by users showed a saddled white horse covered in blood running through the street alongside a black one.&lt;/p&gt;
  11240.  
  11241.  
  11242.  
  11243. &lt;p&gt;Ambulance crews treated four people in three separate incidents in Buckingham Palace Road, Belgrave Square, and at the junction of Chancery Lane and Fleet Street, in the space of just 10 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11244.  
  11245.  
  11246.  
  11247. &lt;p&gt;It is understood that three soldiers were assessed in hospital for their injuries, which were not thought to be serious.&lt;/p&gt;
  11248.  
  11249.  
  11250.  
  11251. &lt;p&gt;A City of London Police spokesperson said on Wednesday: &amp;#8220;At around 8.40am, we were called about horses that had became loose and were travelling through the City.&lt;/p&gt;
  11252.  
  11253.  
  11254.  
  11255. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our officers have contained two horses on the Highway near Limehouse.&lt;/p&gt;
  11256.  
  11257.  
  11258.  
  11259. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re waiting for an Army horse box to collect the horses and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/transport/&quot;&gt;transport&lt;/a&gt; them to veterinary care.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11287. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A WOMAN has become the oldest Miss Universe contestant at the age of 60.&lt;/p&gt;
  11288.  
  11289.  
  11290.  
  11291. &lt;p&gt;The Argentinian lawyer continues to turn heads at the age of 60 and hopes to make &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt; as the oldest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/miss-universe/&quot;&gt;Miss Universe&lt;/a&gt; contestant.&lt;/p&gt;

  11300.  
  11301.  
  11302.  
  11303. &lt;p&gt;Alejandra Rodriquez was crowned Miss Universe Buenos Aires on Wednesday for the right to represent the province in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nationwide/&quot;&gt;nationwide&lt;/a&gt; competition in May,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hola.com/us/entertainment/20240424359156/60-year-old-makes-history-as-miss-universe-buenos-aires/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;according to HOLA!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11304.  
  11305.  
  11306.  
  11307. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s the first year that the beauty competition has been opened up to women past the age of 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  11308.  
  11309.  
  11310.  
  11311. &lt;p&gt;Previously, Miss Universe contestants’ ages were required to fall in the strict range of 18 to 28 years old and be single with no children, but the rules were changed last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  11312.

  11323. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  11325.  
  11326.  
  11327.  
  11328. &lt;p&gt;Alejandra believed she had long aged out of the beauty pageant, but changed her mind when she heard about the new rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  11329.  
  11330.  
  11331.  
  11332. &lt;p&gt;But the 60-year-old is still turning heads and credits her lifestyle for her incredible appearance, saying she keeps to her diet and remains active.&lt;/p&gt;
  11333.  
  11334.  
  11335.  
  11336. &lt;p&gt;She revealed the simple diet change she does to keep her killer body.&lt;/p&gt;
  11337.  
  11338.  
  11339.  
  11340. &lt;p&gt;“The basic thing is to have a healthy life, eat well, do physical activity,” she told Argentinian&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eltrecetv.com.ar/arriba-argentinos/2024/04/23/tiene-60-anos-y-va-a-competir-para-miss-argentina-la-impresionante-historia-de-alejandra-rodriguez/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;television network El Trece&lt;/a&gt;. “Normal care, nothing too extraordinary and a little genetics.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11341.  
  11342.  
  11343.  
  11344. &lt;p&gt;The 60-year-old says she sticks to her diet, which consists of healthy eating and intermittent fasting.&lt;/p&gt;
  11345.  
  11346.  
  11347.  
  11348. &lt;p&gt;“What I try to do is intermittent fasting, I think that helps a lot. Then I try to eat organic foods, a lot of fruit, a lot of vegetables, and use good creams.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11349.  
  11350.  
  11351.  
  11352. &lt;p&gt;Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where you cycle between &lt;span id=&quot;da742841-4630-46a9-b0e3-f62a64fa3a6f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;periods&lt;/span&gt; of eating and fasting says &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-intermittent-fasting#about-intermittent-fasting&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Healthline (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Healthline&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11388. &lt;p&gt;Alejandra was picked to represent the country in the world-wide pageant from a pool of 35 contestants.&lt;/p&gt;
  11389.  
  11390.  
  11391.  
  11392. &lt;p&gt;“We were 35 participants of all ages, from 18 to 73 years old was the oldest. There was no age category,” Rodriguez said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11393.  
  11394.

  11397.  
  11398.  
  11399.  
  11400. &lt;p&gt;“I am thrilled to be representing this new paradigm in beauty pageants because we are inaugurating a new stage in which women are not only physical beauty but another set of values. &lt;/p&gt;

  11586.

  11607. &lt;p&gt;The president opened up about the death of his first wife, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12772560/joe-biden-first-wife-neilia-hunter/&quot;&gt;Neilia Biden&lt;/a&gt;, and their 13-month-old &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12990366/hunter-biden-mom-neilia-how-did-she-die/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;daughter, Naomi&lt;/a&gt;, who died in a car crash in &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/where/delaware/&quot;&gt;Delaware&lt;/a&gt; on December 18, 1972.&lt;/p&gt;

  11610.  
  11611. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you lose the love of your life, and you lose your 13-month-old daughter, which I again, it gives me the chills even to say it to you, and I hate bringing it up,&amp;#8221; Stern told Joe Biden during Friday&amp;#8217;s interview.&lt;/p&gt;
  11612.  
  11613.  
  11614.  
  11615. &lt;p&gt;The SiriusXM host then asks the president, &amp;#8220;You described you were suicidal. At that point, you thought about it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11616.  
  11617.  
  11618.

  11620.  
  11621.  
  11622.  
  11623. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What I said was, you don&amp;#8217;t have to be nuts to commit suicide,&amp;#8221; the president said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11624.  
  11625.  
  11626.  
  11627. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t drink, that&amp;#8217;s not a virtue. I just never drank. And, I used to sit there and think to myself, I&amp;#8217;m just gonna take out a bottle of scotch.&lt;/p&gt;
  11628.  
  11629.  
  11630.  
  11631. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We always had liquor in the house, and I was gonna just drink it and get drunk, and I can never bring myself to do it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11632.  
  11633.  
  11634.  
  11635. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;HEARTBREAKING CONFESSION&lt;/h2&gt;
  11636.  
  11637.  
  11638.  
  11639. &lt;p&gt;Neilia and her three children, Naomi, &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/who/hunter-biden/&quot;&gt;Hunter&lt;/a&gt;, and Beau, were driving in rural Hockessin, Delaware, just west of Wilmington, when a tractor-trailer struck their vehicle.&lt;/p&gt;
  11640.  
  11641.  
  11642.  
  11643. &lt;p&gt;The family was rushed to Wilmington General Hospital, where Neilia and Naomi were pronounced dead.&lt;/p&gt;
  11644.  
  11645.  
  11646.  
  11647. &lt;p&gt;Hunter and Beau survived after suffering serious injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  11648.  
  11649.  
  11650.  
  11651. &lt;p&gt;The heartbreaking incident occurred days after Joe Biden became &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/topic/united-states-senate/&quot;&gt;US Senator&lt;/a&gt;-elect in Delaware.&lt;/p&gt;
  11652.  
  11653.  
  11654.  
  11655. &lt;p&gt;Two weeks after the death of his wife and daughter, Biden was sworn into the US Senate at the hospital where his two boys were recovering.&lt;/p&gt;
  11656.  
  11657.  
  11658.  
  11659. &lt;p&gt;The president described to Howard Stern after losing two of his loved ones, he briefly thought about jumping off the Delaware Memorial Bridge.&lt;/p&gt;
  11660.  
  11661.  
  11662.  
  11663. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you&amp;#8217;ve been to the top of the mountain, and you think it&amp;#8217;s never gonna be there again, and, just a brief moment, I thought maybe I just go to the Delaware Memorial Bridge and jump,&amp;#8221; Biden shockingly revealed&lt;/p&gt;
  11664.  
  11665.  
  11666.  
  11667. &lt;p&gt;He shared how the thought of leaving his two boys, Hunter and Beau, alone saved him.&lt;/p&gt;
  11668.  
  11669.  
  11670.  
  11671. &lt;p&gt;Biden, 81, said it was Hunter and Beau who gave him their blessings to date and eventually marry the future &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/who/jill-biden/&quot;&gt;first lady, Jill&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11672.  
  11673.  
  11674.  
  11675. &lt;p&gt;The president encouraged those who are struggling to seek therapy.&lt;/p&gt;
  11676.  
  11677.  
  11678.  
  11679. &lt;p&gt;During the hour-long interview, Biden said he would participate in a general debate with the presumptive &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/topic/republican-party/&quot;&gt;Republican&lt;/a&gt; presidential nominee, &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/who/donald-trump/&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11680.  
  11681.  
  11682.  
  11683. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am somewhere, I don&amp;#8217;t know when, but I am happy to debate him,&amp;#8221; Biden said after Stern asked if he&amp;#8217;d be willing to debate the former president.&lt;/p&gt;
  11684.  
  11685.  
  11686.  
  11687. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Trump, who is in the middle of a criminal trial in Manhattan, responded to Biden&amp;#8217;s comments, writing in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16487818/what-is-truth-social/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Truth Social&lt;/a&gt; post, &amp;#8220;Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he&amp;#8217;s willing to debate!&lt;/p&gt;
  11688.  
  11689.  
  11690.  
  11691. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Everyone knows he doesn&amp;#8217;t really mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11692.

  11711. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8216;BRITAIN&amp;#8217;S richest man&amp;#8217; is worth 14billion, holidays on a £120million superyacht and chalks up air miles in a £25million private jet.&lt;/p&gt;
  11712.  
  11713.  
  11714.  
  11715. &lt;p&gt;It therefore comes as a surprise that many, including his own &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/business/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;company's (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;company&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; receptionist, have no idea who the camera shy mogul is.&lt;/p&gt;

  11724.  
  11725.  
  11726.  
  11727. &lt;p&gt;Hedge fund tycoon Michael Platt is happy to splash the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;cash (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;cash&lt;/a&gt; on a fleet of luxury goods, though he&amp;#8217;s seldom seen in the public eye.&lt;/p&gt;
  11728.  
  11729.  
  11730.  
  11731. &lt;p&gt;The businessman, who claims never to have suffered an annual loss, is said to spend a lot of his wealth on art, which he displays in the crypt of a deconsecrated church in Marylebone, central&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11732.  
  11733.  
  11734.  
  11735. &lt;p&gt;The collection includes a depiction of Christ in an electric chair beside skulls, a selection of stags’ heads, 5bn-year-old meteorites, a depiction of a Japanese woman riding a walrus and the levitation of St John the Baptist.&lt;/p&gt;
  11736.  
  11737.  
  11738.  
  11739. &lt;p&gt;Other pieces in the collection include works by taxidermist Polly Morgan, the Turner prize-winner&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/11361638/artist-keith-tyson-chris-evans-virgin-radio-isolation-art-school/&quot;&gt;Keith Tyson&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Reece Jones.&lt;/p&gt;
  11740.  
  11741.  
  11742.  
  11743. &lt;p&gt;Deep-pocketed Platt has also allegedly forked out a fortune on a swanky Chelsea penthouse with views of the Shard and the London Eye and a  3,000 sq ft apartment, with three roof terraces and private elevator, overlooking Central Park in New York, &lt;a aria-label=&quot;according to MailOnline (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13311287/britain-richest-man-14billion-Michael-Platt-secretive-tycoon-receptionist.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;according to MailOnline&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11744.  
  11745.  
  11746.  
  11747. &lt;p&gt;Platt reportedly also owns a 246 ft superyacht valued at £120million, a Bombardier Challenger private jet.&lt;/p&gt;
  11748.  
  11749.  
  11750.  
  11751. &lt;p&gt;In a viral video from 2019, Platt was captured boasting about his wealth during a ride in a New York taxi.&lt;/p&gt;
  11752.  
  11753.  
  11754.  
  11755. &lt;p&gt;Clad in a jacket and dress shirt, he confidently proclaimed himself as the highest-earning individual in the world of finance when asked what he does for a living.&lt;/p&gt;
  11756.  
  11757.  
  11758.  
  11759. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You’re the highest what?&amp;#8221; asked the cabbie.&lt;/p&gt;
  11760.  
  11761.  
  11762.  
  11763. &lt;p&gt;Platt replied: &amp;#8220;I’m the highest-earning person in the world of finance. In the world.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11796.  
  11797.  
  11798.  
  11799. &lt;p&gt;Platt first started&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investing/&quot;&gt;investing&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;when he was just 14 thanks to a £500 birthday present from his grandmother.&lt;/p&gt;
  11800.  
  11801.  
  11802.  
  11803. &lt;p&gt;The precocious teen won a place at ­Imperial College London to study civil engineering but switched after a year because he found the course boring, to read mathematics and economics at the London School of Economics.&lt;/p&gt;
  11804.  
  11805.  
  11806.  
  11807. &lt;p&gt;He made up to £30,000 as an undergraduate investing in the newly privatised utilities but his stock lost half its value in a single day during the crash of ­October 1987.&lt;/p&gt;
  11808.  
  11809.  
  11810.  
  11811. &lt;p&gt;Platt says it was one of the few times he has ever been unsuccessful.&lt;/p&gt;
  11812.  
  11813.  
  11814.  
  11815. &lt;p&gt;After graduating from university, he joined JP Morgan, where he gained a number of rapid promotions before he founded BlueCrest Management in 2000.&lt;/p&gt;
  11816.  
  11817.  
  11818.  
  11819. &lt;p&gt;The company is now regarded as one of the biggest private investment firms in the world and generated returns as high as 153 per cent in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  11820.  
  11821.  
  11822.  
  11823. &lt;p&gt;Platt also made a brief appearance on the US TV show,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/21877010/sky-billions-damian-lewis-axed/&quot;&gt;Billions&lt;/a&gt;, currently showing on Paramount+.&lt;/p&gt;
  11824.  
  11825.  
  11826.  
  11827. &lt;p&gt;In his private life, his ­marriage to Helen Sanderson in 1995 produced two ­children but would later end in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/divorce/&quot;&gt;divorce&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11869. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;IF you&amp;#8217;re someone who struggles with thin hair, a certain style may be able to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  11870.  
  11871.  
  11872.  
  11873. &lt;p&gt;A professional hair stylist revealed the best cuts for a fuller look and one to avoid at all costs.&lt;/p&gt;
  11874.  
  11875.  
  11876.  
  11877. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568476&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 874px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/9a519536-e53e-45f5-9317-f1cb3d019ba6.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=864&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568476&quot; width=&quot;864&quot; height=&quot;669&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Hair stylist Rossano Ferretti revealed the best hair styles to disguise thinning hair&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rossano Ferretti&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  11878.  
  11879.  
  11880.  
  11881. &lt;p&gt;Haircare expert and stylist&amp;nbsp;&lt;a aria-label=&quot;Rossano Ferretti (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.rossanoferretti.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Rossano Ferretti&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun about the best ways to style thinning hair.&lt;/p&gt;
  11882.  
  11883.  
  11884.  
  11885. &lt;p&gt;First, Ferretti discussed the importance of taking care of your locks, especially when you notice them beginning to thin out.&lt;/p&gt;
  11886.  
  11887.  
  11888.  
  11889. &lt;p&gt;“The effects of hair thinning or hair loss can be mitigated or reduced over time with a carefully curated haircare routine,&amp;#8221; he explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  11890.  
  11891.  
  11892.  
  11893. &lt;p&gt;While he said controlling the impact of hair loss can be complicated, the expert insisted that with the right products anyone &amp;#8220;can stimulate healthy hair.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11894.  
  11895.  
  11896.  
  11897. &lt;p&gt;Ferretti added that a specifically curated routine can lead to hair that is less prone to thinning, fallout, and breakage. &lt;/p&gt;
  11898.  
  11899.  
  11900.  
  11901. &lt;p&gt;As well as a healthy hair routine, he recommended incorporating certain hairstyles into your rotation to promote volume.&lt;/p&gt;
  11902.  
  11903.  
  11904.  
  11905. &lt;p&gt;“Add movement and dimension to thin and flat hair by texturizing it,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11906.

  12070.  
  12071.  
  12072.  
  12073. &lt;p&gt;However, Pricey &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27554896/katie-price-threatened-arrest-bankruptcy-hearing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;failed to show and gave lawyers just 24 hours notice&lt;/a&gt; that she wouldn&amp;#8217;t be appearing.&lt;/p&gt;
  12074.  
  12075.  
  12076.  
  12077. &lt;p&gt;The Sun can now exclusively reveal the mum-of-five has left the UK and jetted off on holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
  12078.  
  12079.  
  12080.  
  12081. &lt;p&gt;She was spotted at a London airport today with her Married at First Sight boyfriend &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27357450/katie-price-boyfriend-jj-slater-plans-to-marry/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;JJ Slater&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  12095.  
  12096.  
  12097. &lt;p&gt;Katie&amp;#8217;s decision to skip court could land her in hot water.&lt;/p&gt;
  12098.  
  12099.  
  12100.  
  12101. &lt;p&gt;During proceedings today a barrister told the presiding judge: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s quite apparent that the evidence was filed very late and not even filed with the court.&lt;/p&gt;
  12102.  
  12103.  
  12104.  
  12105. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are in a very serious situation as a consequence. She may be held in contempt of court, imprisoned, fined or a warrant issued for her arrest.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12193. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A man who won £10,000 per month for 30 years on the National Lottery feared he was left with nothing when the machine made a &amp;#8220;funny noise.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12194.  
  12195.  
  12196.  
  12197. &lt;p&gt;Plasterer John Stembridge, 51, has now been able to hang up the trowel after scooping the the whopping jackpot on The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-lottery/&quot;&gt;National Lottery&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9142513/national-lotterys-new-set-for-life-draw-winner-two-punters/&quot;&gt;Set For Life game&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  12210.  
  12211.  
  12212.  
  12213. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about the magic moment he found out about his win, John said that the machine made a &amp;#8220;strange noise&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12214.  
  12215.  
  12216.  
  12217. &lt;p&gt;John, from Trowbridge, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/wiltshire/&quot;&gt;Wiltshire&lt;/a&gt;, said: “I was sitting in my van having a coffee after finishing a day of plastering and just noticed the ticket behind the visor &amp;#8211; I was close to a shop so just thought I would pop in and get the ticket checked – just in case there was anything on it.&lt;/p&gt;
  12218.  
  12219.  
  12220.  
  12221. &lt;p&gt;“When the store assistant put it into the machine to check, the machine made a really strange noise – something I had never heard before.&lt;/p&gt;
  12222.  
  12223.  
  12224.  
  12225. &lt;p&gt;“The assistant then said to me I would need to call the number on the ticket as it was a winning ticket but she couldn’t pay me.&lt;/p&gt;
  12226.  
  12227.  
  12228.  
  12229. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I just thought I had maybe won £100.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12230.  
  12231.  
  12232.  
  12233. &lt;p&gt;John burst into tears when he realised he had won a bit more than £100.&lt;/p&gt;
  12234.  
  12235.  
  12236.  
  12237. &lt;p&gt;He continued: &amp;#8220;I went back to my van and called Camelot.&lt;/p&gt;
  12238.  
  12239.  
  12240.  
  12241. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My heart was racing. It was quite surreal – a National Lottery advert came on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/radio/&quot;&gt;radio&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at that very moment, playing the telephone call of a winner&amp;#8230;and literally as this came on the radio my call was answered.&lt;/p&gt;
  12242.  
  12243.  
  12244.  
  12245. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The lady on the end of the phone said to me, ‘are you sitting down?’ She then confirmed that I had won the top prize. I literally burst into tears and I cried my eyes out. I could not believe it!&lt;/p&gt;
  12246.  
  12247.  
  12248.  
  12249. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  12250. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  12251. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;All you need to know about Set For Life&lt;/h3&gt;
  12252. &lt;/div&gt;
  12253. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  12255. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  12256. This is all you need to know about the Set For Life game &lt;/p&gt;
  12258. &lt;div&gt;
  12259. &lt;p&gt;You will need to pick 5 main numbers from 1 to 47, and one ‘Life Ball’ number from 1 to 10.&lt;/p&gt;
  12260. &lt;p&gt;Each line played costs £1.50.&lt;/p&gt;
  12261. &lt;p&gt;Set For Life draw days are on Monday and Thursday. You’ll need to buy your ticket before 7:30pm to be entered into the draw for that day.&lt;/p&gt;
  12262. &lt;p&gt;To win the top prize of £10,000 every month for 30 years&lt;sup&gt;Δ&lt;/sup&gt;, you need to match 5 numbers and the Life Ball on the same line.&lt;/p&gt;
  12263. &lt;p&gt;If you win the top prize, you will receive £10,000 every month over 30 years, rather than in one lump sum.&lt;/p&gt;
  12264. &lt;p&gt;The odds of winning the top prize of £10,000 every month for 30 years is approximately 1 in 15.3m.&lt;/p&gt;
  12265. &lt;p&gt;The odds of winning the 2nd prize of £10,000 every month for a year is approximately 1 in 1.7m.&lt;/p&gt;
  12266. &lt;/div&gt;
  12267. &lt;/div&gt;
  12268. &lt;/div&gt;
  12270.  
  12271.  
  12272.  
  12273. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To be in the position where I get &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23177673/national-lottery-brit-claims-set-for-life-prize/&quot;&gt;£10k every mont&lt;/a&gt;h, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tax/&quot;&gt;tax&lt;/a&gt; free, is just phenomenal – this National Lottery win has changed everything for me and those closest to me and I still just cannot believe it!”&lt;/p&gt;
  12274.  
  12275.  
  12276.  
  12277. &lt;p&gt;John said he was fed up with long hours and coming home covered in dust to only worry about the bills.&lt;/p&gt;
  12278.  
  12279.  
  12280.  
  12281. &lt;p&gt;He said he now plans to pursue his love of fishing and photograph, and hopes to build a dream home by a lake. He also plans an epic fishing holiday across Europe. &lt;/p&gt;
  12282.

  12297. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PAIGE Turley has broken her silence on ex-boyfriend Finn Tapp after it was revealed he had a fling with their Ex on the Beach co-star. &lt;/p&gt;
  12298.

  12314.  
  12315.  
  12316.  
  12317. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month The Sun revealed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paige-turley/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Paige&lt;/a&gt;, 26, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/finley-tapp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Finn&lt;/a&gt;, 24, were close to getting back together after growing close while filming the MTV show. &lt;/p&gt;
  12318.  
  12319.  
  12320.  
  12321. &lt;p&gt;But Paige then discovered that, on the night before the show launch, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27096099/secret-celeb-ex-beach-feud-love-triangle/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Finn had slept with their co-star Tamara Joy&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  12322.  
  12323.  
  12324.  
  12325. &lt;p&gt;Now she&amp;#8217;s opened up about their split. &lt;/p&gt;
  12326.  
  12327.  
  12328.  
  12329. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to the Celebrity Skin podcast, Paige said: &amp;#8220;I am single, I don’t know about Finn. We’re amicable.&lt;/p&gt;
  12330.  
  12331.  
  12332.  
  12333. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s a shame that it didn’t work out but I wish him all the best. Unfortunately sometimes things just happen. &lt;/p&gt;
  12334.  
  12335.  
  12336.  
  12337. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ll always have love and respect for him. Coming from the show that we did, you’re always going to have that tie to each other.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12338.  
  12339.  
  12340.  
  12341. &lt;p&gt;We previously told how Paige felt &amp;#8220;betrayed&amp;#8221; after learning about Finn and former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/married-at-first-sight/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Married at First Sight&lt;/a&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26801334/who-tamara-joy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tamara&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  12342.  
  12343.  
  12344.  
  12345. &lt;p&gt;A source told The Sun: &amp;#8220;It came as a real shock to Paige who was finally giving Finn the second chance he wanted.&lt;/p&gt;
  12346.  
  12347.  
  12348.  
  12349. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Finn wasn&amp;#8217;t over their split before filming whereas Paige could see a life past their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  12350.  
  12351.  
  12352.  
  12353. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After spending so much time together again they both decided to try again &amp;#8211; but Finn&amp;#8217;s fling with Tamara has thrown a massive spanner in the works.&lt;/p&gt;

  12405.  
  12406. &lt;p&gt;WHEN I was in America last week, almost everyone I met wanted to know the same thing: ‘Is King Charles going to be OK?’&lt;/p&gt;
  12407.  
  12408.  
  12409.  
  12410. &lt;p&gt;They were very concerned about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-middleton/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kate&lt;/a&gt;, the Princess of &lt;span id=&quot;1903184d-a0fb-44d2-a667-7acd04bc1d61&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/span&gt;, too.&lt;/p&gt;

  12423.  
  12424.  
  12425.  
  12426. &lt;p&gt;But it was the &lt;span id=&quot;a0ebc287-dcb0-4c4b-9100-a1398d3f8e34&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt; of our new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;King&lt;/a&gt;, and the dreadful thought of&lt;br&gt;another British Monarch potentially &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19747379/queen-elizabeth-dead-news/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;dying so soon after Queen&lt;br&gt;Elizabeth II&lt;/a&gt;, that was fixating the minds of the Royal Family’s&lt;br&gt;biggest geographical fan base after Britain.&lt;/p&gt;
  12427.  
  12428.  
  12429.  
  12430. &lt;p&gt;As one anguished TV executive in New York put it to me: ‘Poor man.&lt;br&gt;Imagine waiting that long for the top job and then this happens? Is he going to survive?’&lt;/p&gt;

  12440.  
  12441.  
  12442. &lt;hr class=&quot;wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity&quot; /&gt;
  12443.  
  12444.  
  12445.  
  12446. &lt;p&gt;It’s still &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/22246438/king-charles-coronation-royal-family-crown/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;less than a year since Charles was crowned&lt;/a&gt;, on May 6, in a&lt;br&gt;coronation watched around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  12447.  
  12448.  
  12449.  
  12450. &lt;p&gt;And the world has been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27565923/charles-doctors-positive-kings-cancer-recovery/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;gripped by the personal sickness drama&lt;/a&gt; that’s now engulfed him.&lt;/p&gt;
  12451.  
  12452.  
  12453.  
  12454. &lt;p&gt;It does seem incredibly cruel and unfair that someone who prepared so long for this moment has been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25735220/king-charles-cancer-royal-family-operation-prostate/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;stricken by cancer&lt;/a&gt; so soon into his&lt;br&gt;reign.&lt;/p&gt;
  12455.  
  12456.  
  12457.  
  12458. &lt;p&gt;Speak to anyone in royal circles, and they’ll tell you how incredibly&lt;br&gt;hard Charles has always worked, and how diligently he has devoted&lt;br&gt;himself to the duty of serving his country.&lt;/p&gt;
  12459.  
  12460.  
  12461.  
  12462. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/js.php/ask_royal_editor&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  12463.  
  12464.  
  12465.  
  12466. &lt;p&gt;For him to have been incapacitated like this, unable to fulfil that&lt;br&gt;duty, must have been almost unbearably frustrating for this proud,&lt;br&gt;conscientious man.&lt;/p&gt;
  12467.  
  12468.  
  12469.  
  12470. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/the-queen/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;like his late, great mother&lt;/a&gt;, his steely work ethic is only&lt;br&gt;matched by his resilience and determination.&lt;/p&gt;
  12471.  
  12472.  
  12473.  
  12474. &lt;p&gt;So, it was no surprise to see his positive statement today, outlining&lt;br&gt;his plans to get back out doing his job.&lt;/p&gt;
  12475.  
  12476.  
  12477.  
  12478. &lt;p&gt;Yet it was still a great relief.&lt;/p&gt;

  12502. &lt;p&gt;As with Kate, there have been all sorts of wild rumours flying around&lt;br&gt;about how serious his cancer may be.&lt;/p&gt;
  12503.  
  12504.  
  12505.  
  12506. &lt;p&gt;Only yesterday, the Daily Beast website in the U.S. published an&lt;br&gt;alarming report by its royal correspondent claiming that Charles’s&lt;br&gt;condition is more serious than the public is being told and Buckingham Palace is updating plans for his possible death and &lt;span id=&quot;e3819ec8-734f-4f28-95e8-29b7b061ab05&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;funeral&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  12511.  
  12512.  
  12513.  
  12514. &lt;p&gt;The last time I saw &lt;span id=&quot;2b7eb6fa-6cc3-4abb-9648-5210fec5e93e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;King Charles&lt;/span&gt; was six years ago when he was still a&lt;br data-rich-text-line-break=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Prince and visited &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; during my time as a Good Morning Britain&lt;br data-rich-text-line-break=&quot;true&quot;&gt;presenter.&lt;/p&gt;

  12524.  
  12525.  
  12526. &lt;p&gt;As a former newspaper editor, I’d published lots of stories about him&lt;br&gt;that would have given him every reason to give me the swerve, or even the bird, as he walked down the greeting line of star-struck ITV&lt;br&gt;‘talent.’&lt;/p&gt;
  12527.  
  12528.  
  12529.  
  12530. &lt;p&gt;But when he reached me, and I exclaimed ‘Your Royal Highness! Very&lt;br&gt;nice to see you again’, he chuckled, shook my hand, and replied:&lt;br&gt;‘You’re still around then?’&lt;/p&gt;
  12531.  
  12532.  
  12533.  
  12534. &lt;p&gt;I am, Your Majesty, and it’s great to see you are too.&lt;/p&gt;
  12535.  
  12536.  
  12537.  
  12538. &lt;p&gt;Long may that be the case.&lt;/p&gt;

  12545. &lt;/div&gt;
  12546. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  12549. &lt;div&gt;
  12550. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Does today&amp;#8217;s announcement mean King Charles&amp;#8217; cancer treatment has been successful or finished?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12551. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s treatment programme is ongoing but doctors are &amp;#8220;sufficiently pleased&amp;#8221; with the progress so far and Charles is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties. Further royal engagements will be adapted where necessary to cut down on any recovery risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  12552. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How much longer will King Charles receive treatment?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12553. &lt;p&gt;A: While it is too early to say, the King&amp;#8217;s medical team are &amp;#8220;very encouraged&amp;#8221; by progress made so far and remain &amp;#8220;positive&amp;#8221; about his recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  12554. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How many engagements will King Charles undertake in the weeks and months ahead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12555. &lt;p&gt;A: They will be announced nearer the time in the usual manner and will remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice. It will not be a full summer programme. His Majesty will continue with all official State business and selected Audiences.&lt;/p&gt;
  12556. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Is there a risk King Charles may be taking on too much with these external duties?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12557. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s schedule will be carefully designed to meet his recovery needs and he will be in close consultation with his medical team.&lt;/p&gt;
  12558. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will King Charles attend the Birthday Parade, D-Day Commemorations, Garden Parties, Royal Ascot, or an Autumn overseas Tour?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12559. &lt;p&gt;A: Planning continues for ways in which the King and Queen can attend these summer and autumn engagements. All future plans remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice.&lt;/p&gt;
  12560. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How is King Charles feeling?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12561. &lt;p&gt;A: The Palace said: &amp;#8220;His Majesty is greatly encouraged to be resuming public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued car and expertise.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12562. &lt;/div&gt;

  12580. &lt;p&gt;Penalties in football are always taken 12 yards from the goal line but there is huge variance in the conditions &amp;#8211; different goalkeepers, stadiums and scorelines.&lt;/p&gt;
  12581.  
  12582.  
  12583.  
  12584. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27545366&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/judd-trump-england-plays-shot-895908313.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27545366&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Snooker players sometimes need multiple attempts on the same ball[/caption]
  12585.  
  12586.  
  12587.  
  12588. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/snooker/&quot;&gt;Snooker&lt;/a&gt; is one such sport where it frequently happens.&lt;/p&gt;
  12589.  
  12590.  
  12591.  
  12592. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Why do players get multiple attempts at the same shot in snooker?&lt;/h2&gt;
  12593.  
  12594.  
  12595.  
  12596. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes, a player will find themselves is in a particularly tricky position.&lt;/p&gt;
  12597.  
  12598.  
  12599.  
  12600. &lt;p&gt;This typically happens when they have been &amp;#8216;snookered&amp;#8217; &amp;#8211; when multiple balls are in the way of the cue ball and a red ball. &lt;/p&gt;
  12601.  
  12602.  
  12603.  
  12604. &lt;p&gt;A snooker makes it difficult for a player to play a legal shot and, in some cases, even the world&amp;#8217;s top players miss the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  12605.  
  12606.  
  12607.  
  12608. &lt;p&gt;Snookering is a go-to defensive tactic if there are no pots on to make things tricky for an opponent and attempt to rack up points from their missed shots.&lt;/p&gt;
  12609.  
  12610.  
  12611.  
  12612. &lt;p&gt;If a frame is on the verge of being lost, and/or if there are limited points remaining on the table in a tight frame, players will attempt to snooker their opponent as a way of getting back to a winning score.&lt;/p&gt;
  12613.  
  12614.  
  12615.  
  12616. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How many shots can players attempt on the same snooker?&lt;/h2&gt;
  12617.  
  12618.  
  12619.  
  12620. &lt;p&gt;In theory, players can be ordered to retake a specific shot as many times as it takes to win a frame.&lt;/p&gt;
  12621.  
  12622.  
  12623.  
  12624. &lt;p&gt;So that would mean 37 missed shots (37 x 4  = 148) on a snooker would win the non-striker the frame.&lt;/p&gt;
  12625.  
  12626.  
  12627.  
  12628. &lt;p&gt;In reality, that would not happen.&lt;/p&gt;
  12629.  
  12630.  
  12631.  
  12632. &lt;p&gt;At amateur and club level, a three-strike rule is employed to ensure frames don&amp;#8217;t drag on forever.&lt;/p&gt;
  12633.  
  12634.  
  12635.  
  12636. &lt;p&gt;The high bar has not been tested in a professional setting, but most pro players would likely concede a frame before missing that many shots in a row.&lt;/p&gt;
  12637.  
  12638.  
  12639.  
  12640. &lt;p&gt;A referee would also likely intervene and award a frame to the non-striker if a player was unable to escape the snooker after a large number of attempts.&lt;/p&gt;
  12641.  
  12642.  
  12643.  
  12644. &lt;p&gt;Importantly, when a player misses a shot after a snooker the referee will say &amp;#8216;foul&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12645.  
  12646.  
  12647.  
  12648. &lt;p&gt;There is also another rule &amp;#8211; &amp;#8216;foul and a miss&amp;#8217; &amp;#8211; which applies to non-snookered shots.&lt;/p&gt;
  12649.  
  12650.  
  12651.  
  12652. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/pollingwidgets/v3/widget.js?question_id=73730&amp;#038;game=polling&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  12653.  
  12654.  
  12655.  
  12656. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What is a &amp;#8216;foul and a miss&amp;#8217; in snooker?&lt;/h2&gt;
  12657.  
  12658.  
  12659.  
  12660. &lt;p&gt;When a player is not snookered and deliberately miss a shot, the referee will call &amp;#8216;foul and a miss&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12661.  
  12662.  
  12663.  
  12664. &lt;p&gt;Unlike with the above, where shots can continue to be attempted, a player can only deliberately miss a playable shot three times before the frame is given to the opponent.&lt;/p&gt;
  12665.  
  12666.  
  12667.  
  12668. &lt;p&gt;The rule was only introduced in 1995 as a way to stop players from committing &amp;#8216;professional fouls&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12669.  
  12670.  
  12671.  
  12672. &lt;p&gt;Previous to the rule being introduced, players could totally ignore the coloured balls and just aim and strike the cue ball into a safe space without disturbing the table.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12685. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A HOMEOWNER has given people a glimpse into their incredible outdoor patio transformation.&lt;/p&gt;
  12686.  
  12687.  
  12688.  
  12689. &lt;p&gt;They built a kitchen on the area, and some fans insisted it looks better than their indoor cooking space.&lt;/p&gt;
  12690.  
  12691.  
  12692.  
  12693. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27568310&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/1950s-mid-century-modern-bungalow-896941343.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27568310&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Redditors have been sent into a frenzy over an outdoor kitchen, saying it rivals their indoor one (stock photo)[/caption]
  12694.  
  12695.  
  12696.  
  12697. &lt;p&gt;Redditor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/grilling/comments/1c6du07/the_new_outdoor_kitchen_is_complete/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Listillt63I8 (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Listillt63I8&lt;/a&gt; posted a picture of the home renovation project in a post to the social media platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  12698.  
  12699.  
  12700.  
  12701. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The new outdoor kitchen is complete,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12702.  
  12703.  
  12704.  
  12705. &lt;p&gt;The space, complete with stainless steel appliances, received a lot of love from fans of the project.&lt;/p&gt;
  12706.  
  12707.  
  12708.  
  12709. &lt;p&gt;They even detailed the exact appliances they used to make their dream outdoor kitchen into a reality.&lt;/p&gt;
  12710.  
  12711.  
  12712.  
  12713. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;HOT IN THE KITCHEN&lt;/h2&gt;
  12714.  
  12715.  
  12716.  
  12717. &lt;p&gt;The high-quality upgrade elevated the look of the patio.&lt;/p&gt;
  12718.  
  12719.  
  12720.  
  12721. &lt;p&gt;The outdoor space even features large screen televisions, which the Redditor detailed how they constructed.&lt;/p&gt;
  12722.  
  12723.  
  12724.  
  12725. &lt;p&gt;They said they included &amp;#8220;four TVs, but wired together so they can work as one large screen or independently.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12726.  
  12727.  
  12728.  
  12729. &lt;p&gt;They specified that they paid around $200 for each TV screen.&lt;/p&gt;
  12730.  
  12731.  
  12732.  
  12733. &lt;p&gt;However, the Redditor explained in the comments that the electronics weren&amp;#8217;t specifically made for outdoor use after another user asked about them.&lt;/p&gt;
  12734.  
  12735.  
  12736.  
  12737. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Lol, yeah, definitely not outdoor TVs,&amp;#8221; they said. &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;d way rather replace a regular budget TV than upspend for an outdoor [one].&lt;/p&gt;
  12738.

  12764.  
  12765. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yeah, good call those outdoor TVs are crazy expensive, makes sense to risk it with cheap TVs,&amp;#8221; another Redditor said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12766.  
  12767.  
  12768.  
  12769. &lt;p&gt;The patio perfectionist spilled the details on the appliances used.&lt;/p&gt;

  12773. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Coyote 36-inch pellet grill, Bull 30-inch griddle, fridge, and kegerator,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;

  12775.  
  12776.  
  12777. &lt;p&gt;A kegerator is a type of refrigerator specifically made to keep kegs of beer cool.&lt;/p&gt;

  12782.  
  12783.  
  12784.  
  12785. &lt;p&gt;Other users of the social media platform chimed in to give their two cents on the patio upgrade.&lt;/p&gt;
  12786.  
  12787.  
  12788.  
  12789. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That’s nicer than my actual indoor kitchen,&amp;#8221; one said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12790.  
  12791.  
  12792.  
  12793. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My indoor kitchen doesn&amp;#8217;t even come close,&amp;#8221; another Redditor chimed in.&lt;/p&gt;
  12794.  
  12795.  
  12796.  
  12797. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I would never cook inside again,&amp;#8221; a third commented.&lt;/p&gt;
  12798.  
  12799.  
  12800.  
  12801. &lt;p&gt;However, not everyone was a fan of the design, particularly the placement of the TVs.&lt;/p&gt;
  12802.  
  12803.  
  12804.  
  12805. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Damn, that TV is going to have nasty oily exterior after a few days of grilling. Horrible location for the TV,&amp;#8221; yet another wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  12806.  
  12807.  
  12808.  
  12809. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Maybe I&amp;#8217;m an idiot but I can&amp;#8217;t imagine having a TV three feet from a griddle is really going to be that bad,&amp;#8221; the original poster replied.&lt;/p&gt;

  12827. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GARRY MONK is ready to stare down adversity again with his Cambridge side needing a point to guarantee survival.&lt;/p&gt;
  12828.  
  12829.  
  12830.  
  12831. &lt;p&gt;Monk bossed Swansea in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; and then took charge at a series of Championship teams including Leeds and Middlesbrough.&lt;/p&gt;
  12832.  
  12833.  
  12834.  
  12835. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567830&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/mi-news-sport-alamy-live-896328493.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567830&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Garry Monk is hoping to save Cambridge from relegation[/caption]
  12836.  
  12837.  
  12838.  
  12839. &lt;p&gt;But he spent more than three years out of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; management after getting the sack at Sheffield Wednesday in November 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  12840.  
  12841.  
  12842.  
  12843. &lt;p&gt;Monk finally returned in early March as Cambridge’s head coach, tasked with preserving the club’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;League One&lt;/a&gt; status.&lt;/p&gt;
  12844.  
  12845.  
  12846.  
  12847. &lt;p&gt;They were thrashed 6-0 at Lincoln and 4-0 at Reading in his first two away games at the helm.&lt;/p&gt;
  12848.  
  12849.  
  12850.  
  12851. &lt;p&gt;But he has since stabilised the U’s, who will definitely beat the drop if they draw at Port Vale tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  12852.  
  12853.  
  12854.  
  12855. &lt;p&gt;Monk knows what it takes to stay up via the final fixture, having masterminded Birmingham’s 3-1 victory over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225801/fulham/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fulham&lt;/a&gt; in 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
  12856.  
  12857.  
  12858.  
  12859. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26349600/garry-monk-cambridge-three-years-unemployed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Monk&lt;/a&gt;, 45, said: “Adversity’s in the blood. I kind of like adversity. I’ve faced a lot of it in my career, and as a person in my life. My mentality is always really strong with it.&lt;/p&gt;
  12860.  
  12861.  
  12862.  
  12863. &lt;p&gt;“I’m looking forward to the game and the players should be looking forward to it. &lt;/p&gt;
  12864.  
  12865.  
  12866.  
  12867. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know there’s a big, huge responsibility and an outcome that’s needed from it, but you have to enjoy these moments as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  12868.

  12924. &lt;p&gt;Monk has been impressed with the spirit and determination demonstrated by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cambridge/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cambridge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s squad in their quest for safety.&lt;/p&gt;
  12925.  
  12926.  
  12927.  
  12928. &lt;p&gt;He added: “Often in these situations, there’s a lot of fracture and discontent that you have to try and manage.&lt;/p&gt;
  12929.  
  12930.  
  12931.  
  12932. &lt;p&gt;“But I feel lucky that I haven’t had to do too much of that work. It hasn’t been any of that – it’s just more an enhancement of confidence and belief.&lt;/p&gt;
  12933.  
  12934.  
  12935.  
  12936. &lt;p&gt;“Even the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225947/reading/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Reading&lt;/a&gt; and Lincoln games, there wasn’t like you had a fractured group. &lt;/p&gt;
  12937.  
  12938.  
  12939.  
  12940. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was just two games where we did poor, but it wasn’t for a lack of wanting to do the right thing or anything else. It was very early days and new.&lt;/p&gt;
  12941.  
  12942.  
  12943.  
  12944. &lt;p&gt;“But since Reading I think they’ve done exceptionally well. They’ve shown what they’re about, showed all the ingredients that you’d want in this type of situation. One more huge effort and we can get the job done.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12945.  
  12946.  
  12947.  
  12948. &lt;p&gt;Despite Cambridge’s precarious position, Monk has relished being back involved in club life.&lt;/p&gt;
  12949.  
  12950.  
  12951.  
  12952. &lt;p&gt;He said: “I’ve hugely enjoyed it. I’ve had a lot of support. Not just the players and the staff, but from around. The fan base, the ownership and the directors – I’ve just had a lot of support. And that’s quite nice.&lt;/p&gt;
  12953.  
  12954.  
  12955.  
  12956. &lt;p&gt;“That’s not been at every club you have that type of support. I think when you get that kind of support, outside of just being professional, you are kind of more desperate to give them what they want, because they’re good people at the club and around the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  12957.  
  12958.  
  12959.  
  12960. &lt;p&gt;“So you feel a bit more emotionally attached to what you want to give them and how important it is for everyone.”&lt;/p&gt;

  13001. &lt;p&gt;The club are spending a whopping £1.3billion to modernise and increase the capacity of the famous ground to a staggering &lt;strong&gt;105,000&lt;/strong&gt; fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  13002.  
  13003.  
  13004.  
  13005. &lt;p&gt;The Catalans have begun circulating images and video footage of the ongoing renovations on their social media channels.&lt;/p&gt;
  13006.  
  13007.  
  13008.  
  13009. &lt;p&gt;And one computer-generated clip of the finished product showed the ground with a completely new colour scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
  13010.  
  13011.  
  13012.  
  13013. &lt;p&gt;The newly-released video showed the brand-spanking-new three-tiered Nou Camp in what will be all of its glory.&lt;/p&gt;
  13014.  
  13015.  
  13016.  
  13017. &lt;p&gt;The seats will comprise of a blend of garnet brown and blue, with the former making up most of the bottom tier before blending into the latter.&lt;/p&gt;
  13018.  
  13019.  
  13020.  
  13021. &lt;p&gt;The club&amp;#8217;s iconic logo will remain thanks to a sprinkling of yellow seats stretching midway up the first tier and to the top.&lt;/p&gt;
  13022.  
  13023.  
  13024.  
  13025. &lt;p&gt;More yellow seating will make up the logo of the club&amp;#8217;s sponsor, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spotify/&quot;&gt;Spotify&lt;/a&gt;, as well as the &amp;#8220;FC Barcelona&amp;#8221; lettering.&lt;/p&gt;
  13026.  
  13027.  
  13028.

  13050.  
  13051.  
  13052.  
  13053. &lt;p&gt;The current state of the stadium, however, has some footie fans concerned it won&amp;#8217;t be finished in time for the team&amp;#8217;s proposed November return.&lt;/p&gt;
  13054.  
  13055.  
  13056.  
  13057. &lt;p&gt;But Vice President Elena Fort dismissed those concerns last year, insisting: &amp;#8220;We still have a long way to go, but we are well underway.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13086.

  13088.  
  13089. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The bulk of all the work will be carried out in 2024, including the core main structure and the roof.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13090.  
  13091.  
  13092.  
  13093. &lt;p&gt;A recent excerpt of a club statement on the renovation read: &amp;#8220;The work on the &lt;span id=&quot;69cdb3ed-030f-4f4c-a87a-d0d0c6088a1e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; stadium remains on schedule.&lt;/p&gt;

  13095.

  13098.  
  13099.  
  13100.  
  13101. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;At the same time, the repairs to the first and second tiers are progressing at a good pace, with over 70% of repairs on the current structure completed, and the inner partition walls already starting to be built.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13180. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;EMMANUEL PETIT claims&amp;nbsp;football &amp;#8220;saved&amp;#8221; fellow Arsenal legend Martin Keown from a life of crime.&lt;/p&gt;
  13181.  
  13182.  
  13183.  
  13184. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/emmanuel-petit/&quot;&gt;Petit&lt;/a&gt; revealed the ex-hardman &amp;#8220;reminded me of psychopaths&amp;#8221; but controlled his behaviour as he knew he was being watched on TV.&lt;/p&gt;
  13185.  
  13186.  
  13187.  
  13188. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27566608&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/martin-keown-arsenal-shows-feelings-896713336.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27566608&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;758&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Martin Keown famously confronted Man Utd&amp;#8217;s Ruud Van Nistelrooy[/caption]
  13189.  
  13190.  
  13191.  
  13192. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27566704&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 787px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/341ca5ef-e680-4207-b155-274612ff4659.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=777&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27566704&quot; width=&quot;777&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Emmanuel Petit says he and fellow midfielder Patrick Vieira were &amp;#8216;so happy&amp;#8217; to have Keown playing behind them&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Action Images - Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  13193.  
  13194.  
  13195.  
  13196. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/martin-keown/&quot;&gt;Keown&lt;/a&gt;, 57, now a&amp;nbsp;BBC and BT Sport pundit, won the last of his three Premier League titles with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot;&gt;the Gunners&lt;/a&gt; as one of the&amp;nbsp;2003-4 &amp;#8220;Invincibles&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13197.  
  13198.  
  13199.  
  13200. &lt;p&gt;But French World Cup winner Petit reckons&amp;nbsp;only the discipline of sport kept the former England centre-back on the straight and narrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  13201.  
  13202.  
  13203.  
  13204. &lt;p&gt;The ex-midfielder, 53, told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgKeyp2GXyk&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;talkSPORT&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;I always told him that football saved his life.&amp;nbsp;Otherwise he would have been a criminal.&lt;/p&gt;
  13205.  
  13206.  
  13207.  
  13208. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You&amp;nbsp;know, the rules on the pitch&amp;#8230; the fact that he could fight on the pitch, but&amp;nbsp;with referees, things like this, he knew that television was looking at him, fans were looking at him, so he had to behave &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp;with good manners as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  13209.  
  13210.  
  13211.  
  13212. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But I remember so many things with him. This guy sometimes reminds me of psychopaths.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13213.  
  13214.  
  13215.  
  13216. &lt;p&gt;Petit&amp;nbsp;smiled as he added: &amp;#8220;I told him football saved you. Otherwise you&amp;#8217;ll be in trouble in normal life because he&amp;#8217;s such a nice guy but all of a sudden in the space of one second he can change.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13217.  
  13218.  
  13219.  
  13220. &lt;p&gt;Keown was at the centre of one of English football&amp;#8217;s most notorious images &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16243619/arteta-arsenal-keown-van-nistelrooy-tottenham/&quot;&gt;aggressively taunting Manchester United Ruud van Nistelrooy&lt;/a&gt; over a missed penalty in September 2003.&lt;/p&gt;
  13221.  
  13222.  
  13223.  
  13224. &lt;p&gt;But Petit gave another dramatic example of what he believes was the  defender&amp;#8217;s sensitive temperament.&lt;/p&gt;
  13225.  
  13226.  
  13227.

  13229.  
  13230.  
  13231.  
  13232. &lt;p&gt;He explained how Arsenal team-mates intervened against Sheffield Wednesday when Keown got his fingers around &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paolo-di-canio/&quot;&gt;Paolo Di Canio&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s throat.&lt;/p&gt;
  13233.  
  13234.  
  13235.  
  13236. &lt;p&gt;The former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1232720/barcelona/&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;star said: &amp;#8220;You&amp;nbsp;could&amp;nbsp;see his eyes &amp;#8211; he was not there anymore. He just wanted to kill Paolo Di Canio.&lt;/p&gt;

  13284. <description><![CDATA[]]></description>
  13285. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;IT was announced in February that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  13286.  
  13287.  
  13288.  
  13289. &lt;p&gt;He is now set to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27559687/king-charles-return-to-work-first-official-engagement-cancer/&quot;&gt;return to his public duties&lt;/a&gt; after being told that he is well enough by doctors. Here’s what we know.&lt;/p&gt;
  13290.  
  13291.  
  13292.  
  13293. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_25740043&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/hmk-strict-18-00-embargo-877166077_8f2042.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-25740043&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;911&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Samir Hussein&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Charles has been diagnosed with cancer[/caption]
  13294.  
  13295.  
  13296.  
  13297. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do we know about King Charles’ cancer diagnosis?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  13298.  
  13299.  
  13300.  
  13301. &lt;p&gt;It was confirmed on February 5, 2024 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25735220/king-charles-cancer-royal-family-operation-prostate/&quot;&gt;that King Charles has cancer &lt;/a&gt;after the disease was found during a prostate procedure the previous month.&lt;/p&gt;
  13302.  
  13303.  
  13304.  
  13305. &lt;p&gt;The King was expected to be discharged after two nights &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25561716/king-charles-hospital-prostate-operation-engagements/&quot;&gt;concern was sparked when this stay was extended&lt;/a&gt;, with the Palace announcing that the King would miss royal engagements for a month whilst he recovers.&lt;/p&gt;
  13306.  
  13307.  
  13308.  
  13309. &lt;p&gt;He was eventually discharged from hospital on January 29, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  13310.  
  13311.  
  13312.  
  13313. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25738248/king-charles-statement-full/&quot;&gt;Charles&lt;/a&gt; was pictured with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot;&gt;Queen Camilla&lt;/a&gt; attending the morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21696525/where-is-sandringham-estate-and-who-lives-there/&quot;&gt;Sandringham &lt;/a&gt;in his first public appearance on February 4, 2024,&amp;nbsp; following his treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  13314.  
  13315.  
  13316.  
  13317. &lt;p&gt;It is not currently known what type of cancer the King has.&lt;/p&gt;

  13366.  
  13367.  
  13368.  
  13369. &lt;p&gt;The palace released a statement on Friday April 26, 2024 saying that King Charles has been deemed well enough to return to public duties.&lt;/p&gt;
  13370.  
  13371.  
  13372.  
  13373. &lt;p&gt;In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;
  13374.  
  13375.  
  13376.  
  13377. &lt;p&gt;“To help mark this milestone, The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet with medical specialists and patients.&lt;/p&gt;
  13378.  
  13379.  
  13380.  
  13381. &lt;p&gt;“This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13382.  
  13383.  
  13384.  
  13385. &lt;p&gt;The palace confirmed that the King’s treatment is ongoing but doctors are pleased with his progress.&lt;/p&gt;
  13386.  
  13387.  
  13388.  
  13389. &lt;p&gt;They said: “His Majesty’s treatment programme will continue, but doctors are sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far that The King is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties.&lt;/p&gt;
  13390.  
  13391.  
  13392.  
  13393. &lt;p&gt;“Forthcoming engagements will be adapted where necessary to minimise any risks to His Majesty’s continued recovery.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13394.  
  13395.  
  13396.  
  13397. &lt;p&gt;Before this, King Charles stepped back from public duties as he recovered.&lt;/p&gt;
  13398.  
  13399.  
  13400.  
  13401. &lt;p&gt;At the time a statement from Buckingham Palace said a &amp;#8220;separate issue of concern was noted&amp;#8221; after he underwent a prostate operation last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  13402.  
  13403.  
  13404.  
  13405. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted.&lt;/p&gt;
  13406.  
  13407.  
  13408.  
  13409. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  13410.  
  13411.  
  13412.  
  13413. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.&lt;/p&gt;
  13414.  
  13415.  
  13416.  
  13417. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.&lt;/p&gt;
  13418.  
  13419.  
  13420.  
  13421. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  13422.  
  13423.  
  13424.  
  13425. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13702. &lt;div&gt;
  13703. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Does today&amp;#8217;s announcement mean King Charles&amp;#8217; cancer treatment has been successful or finished?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13704. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s treatment programme is ongoing but doctors are &amp;#8220;sufficiently pleased&amp;#8221; with the progress so far and Charles is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties. Further royal engagements will be adapted where necessary to cut down on any recovery risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  13705. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How much longer will King Charles receive treatment?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13706. &lt;p&gt;A: While it is too early to say, the King&amp;#8217;s medical team are &amp;#8220;very encouraged&amp;#8221; by progress made so far and remain &amp;#8220;positive&amp;#8221; about his recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  13707. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How many engagements will King Charles undertake in the weeks and months ahead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13708. &lt;p&gt;A: They will be announced nearer the time in the usual manner and will remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice. It will not be a full summer programme. His Majesty will continue with all official State business and selected Audiences.&lt;/p&gt;
  13709. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Is there a risk King Charles may be taking on too much with these external duties?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  13711. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will King Charles attend the Birthday Parade, D-Day Commemorations, Garden Parties, Royal Ascot, or an Autumn overseas Tour?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13712. &lt;p&gt;A: Planning continues for ways in which the King and Queen can attend these summer and autumn engagements. All future plans remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice.&lt;/p&gt;

  13819.  
  13820.

  13840.  
  13841.  
  13842.  
  13843. &lt;p&gt;It was planned to celebrate&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10186294/japans-new-emperor-naruhito-pardons-500000-criminals-throne-iancient-ceremony-royalty/&quot;&gt; Emperor Naruhito&amp;#8217;s ascension to the throne&lt;/a&gt; in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  13844.  
  13845.  
  13846.  
  13847. &lt;p&gt;A palace spokesperson confirmed: &amp;#8220;Planning continues for ways in which Their Majesties may attend such summer and autumn engagements, though nothing can be confirmed or guaranteed at this stage.&lt;/p&gt;

  13856.  
  13857.  
  13858.  
  13859. &lt;p&gt;It is understood the King&amp;#8217;s programme will be &amp;#8220;carefully calibrated&amp;#8221; with his medical team as his recovery&amp;nbsp;continues.&lt;/p&gt;
  13860.  
  13861.  
  13862.  
  13863. &lt;p&gt;The latest health update highlighted how Charles is well enough to take&amp;nbsp;part in outdoor engagements.&lt;/p&gt;
  13864.  
  13865.  
  13866.  
  13867. &lt;p&gt;Much to fans&amp;#8217; excitement, this means &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/royal-ascot/&quot;&gt;Royal Ascot&lt;/a&gt;, Trooping the Colour joining and the Royal Family on the&amp;nbsp;palace balcony, could all be on the cards.&lt;/p&gt;

  13879. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Does today&amp;#8217;s announcement mean King Charles&amp;#8217; cancer treatment has been successful or finished? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13880. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s treatment programme is ongoing but doctors are &amp;#8220;sufficiently pleased&amp;#8221; with the progress so far and Charles is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties. Further royal engagements will be adapted where necessary to cut down on any recovery risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  13881. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How much longer will King Charles receive treatment? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13882. &lt;p&gt;A: While it is too early to say, the King&amp;#8217;s medical team are &amp;#8220;very encouraged&amp;#8221; by progress made so far and remain &amp;#8220;positive&amp;#8221; about his recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  13883. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How many engagements will King Charles undertake in the weeks and months ahead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13884. &lt;p&gt;A: They will be announced nearer the time in the usual manner and will remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice. It will not be a full summer programme. His Majesty will continue with all official State business and selected Audiences.&lt;/p&gt;
  13885. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Is there a risk King Charles may be taking on too much with these external duties?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13886. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s schedule will be carefully designed to meet his recovery needs and he will be in close consultation with his medical team.&lt;/p&gt;
  13887. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will King Charles attend the Birthday Parade, D-Day Commemorations, Garden Parties, Royal Ascot, or an Autumn overseas Tour?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13888. &lt;p&gt;A: Planning continues for ways in which the King and Queen can attend these summer and autumn engagements. All future plans remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice.&lt;/p&gt;
  13889. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How is King Charles feeling?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13890. &lt;p&gt;A: The Palace said: &amp;#8220;His Majesty is greatly encouraged to be resuming public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued car and expertise.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13891. &lt;/div&gt;

  13901.  
  13902. &lt;p&gt;The Sun previously reported His Majesty &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26753071/king-charles-trooping-the-colour-cancer/&quot;&gt;could be driven in a carriage to Trooping the Colour&lt;/a&gt; this year on June 15 rather than riding a horse.&lt;/p&gt;
  13903.  
  13904.  
  13905.  
  13906. &lt;p&gt;The monarch usually rides from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/buckingham-palace/&quot;&gt;Buckingham Palace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to Horse Guards Parade to inspect troops on horseback.&lt;/p&gt;
  13907.  
  13908.  
  13909.  
  13910. &lt;p&gt;But&amp;nbsp;Charles&amp;nbsp;could instead be driven to the parade in a carriage and watch it from a podium.&lt;/p&gt;
  13911.  
  13912.  
  13913.  
  13914. &lt;p&gt;No decision will be made until June &amp;#8211; and will depend on Charles&amp;#8217; condition and medical advice.&lt;/p&gt;

  13976.  
  13977.  
  13978.  
  13979. &lt;p&gt;The joyous announcement follows The Sun&amp;#8217;s exclusive story in which we revealed the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27129475/king-charles-tour-australia-cancer-treatment-goes-well/&quot;&gt;King had told aides he was &amp;#8220;raring to go&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13992.  
  13993.  
  13994.  
  13995. &lt;p&gt;The palace spokesperson added: &amp;#8220;His Majesty’s treatment programme will continue, but doctors are sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far that The King is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties.&lt;/p&gt;
  13996.  
  13997.  
  13998.  
  13999. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Forthcoming engagements will be adapted where necessary to minimise any risks to His Majesty’s continued recovery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14000.  
  14001.  
  14002.  
  14003. &lt;p&gt;Amid the King&amp;#8217;s return to work, he and the Queen are said to be “deeply grateful” for the “kindnesses and good wishes” sent “throughout the joys and challenges of the past year”.&lt;/p&gt;

  14028. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To help mark this milestone, The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet with medical specialists and patients.&lt;/p&gt;
  14029. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead.&lt;/p&gt;
  14030. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In addition, The King and Queen will host Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan for a State Visit in June, at the request of HM Government.&lt;/p&gt;
  14031. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As the first anniversary of The Coronation approaches, Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindness and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the year.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14040.

  14042.  
  14043. &lt;p&gt;The royal health update comes after Charles was forced to take a step back from royal duties amid&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25745578/charles-spends-night-at-home-cancer-treatment/&quot;&gt; outpatient cancer treatment in London.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14044.  
  14045.  
  14046.  
  14047. &lt;p&gt;His Majesty bravely opened up about&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25735220/king-charles-cancer-royal-family-operation-prostate/&quot;&gt; his diagnosis in February &lt;/a&gt;this year after the disease was spotted during a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25396371/charles-seeks-treatment-for-enlarged-prostate-king/&quot;&gt;his prostate operation.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14048.  
  14049.  
  14050.  
  14051. &lt;p&gt;However, he has still been carrying out official State business and selected Audiences throughout his recovery programme.&lt;/p&gt;
  14052.  
  14053.  
  14054.  
  14055. &lt;p&gt;In his absence Camilla and Prince William have both stepped up to take on more responsibilities. &lt;/p&gt;
  14056.

  14063. &lt;p&gt;The Queen continues to be the King&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;rock&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; and is said to be in regular contact with Kate &amp;#8211; who is also going through &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26898484/princess-kate-cancer-video-message-king-charles-children/&quot;&gt;her own cancer diagnosis. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14064.

  14066.  
  14067. &lt;p&gt;Camilla has continued to carry out all of her royal duties and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25735806/charles-rock-camilla-standing-side-hospital-prostate/&quot;&gt;attended many events by herself&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after urging Charles to slow down.&lt;/p&gt;

  14069.  
  14070.  
  14071. &lt;p&gt;She attended 13 royal engagements in the month after His Majesty&amp;#8217;s health announcement.&lt;/p&gt;
  14072.  
  14073.  
  14074.  
  14075. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile Wills has helped support &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-middleton/&quot;&gt;Kate&lt;/a&gt;, after she revealed doctors detected the disease during her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25405750/kate-middleton-abdominal-surgery-what-we-know/&quot;&gt;planned abdominal surgery&lt;/a&gt; in January.&lt;/p&gt;

  14087. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January 17 2024&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Buckingham Palace announces His Majesty will be undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate.&lt;/p&gt;
  14088. &lt;p&gt;Just hours previous it was also revealed Princess Kate had been admitted to hospital for a pre-planned abdominal surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
  14089. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January 26 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; The King is admitted to The London Clinic &amp;#8211; where Princess Kate was also staying.&lt;/p&gt;
  14090. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January 29 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Charles waves as he leaves the hospital following a three day stay and being given the all clear.&lt;/p&gt;
  14091. &lt;p&gt;It is understood the Monarch will take a month to recover after the surgery as Queen Camilla stands in during public appearances.&lt;/p&gt;
  14092. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 5 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Buckingham Palace announces a form of cancer was diagnosed during the King&amp;#8217;s prostate op.&lt;/p&gt;
  14093. &lt;p&gt;The statement confirms Charles has begun a schedule of regular treatments and &amp;#8220;remains wholly positive&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14094. &lt;p&gt;He will also be postponing front line duties on doctor&amp;#8217;s advice but continue with his red boxes, weekly audiences with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rishi-sunak/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Prime Minister&lt;/a&gt;, and monthly Privy Council meetings.&lt;/p&gt;
  14095. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 6 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Prince Harry flies to the UK to be with his father as royal experts claim their four-year rift could be put aside.&lt;/p&gt;
  14096. &lt;p&gt;The Duke of Sussex, who was informed of the news personally by the Monarch, was seen arriving into a private terminal at LAX in his black Range Rover.&lt;/p&gt;
  14097. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 10 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; In his first statement since his cancer diagnosis, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25858837/king-charles-thanks-public-cancer-diagnosis/&quot;&gt;King offered his &amp;#8220;heartfelt thanks&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to the public for their support.&lt;/p&gt;
  14098. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 13 2024 &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; King Charles was seen smiling and waving as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25901375/king-charles-clarence-house-cancer-diagnosis/&quot;&gt;he arrived back in London for more cancer treatment&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14099. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 31 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The monarch&amp;#8217;s first public appearance since his cancer diagnosis. &lt;/p&gt;
  14100. &lt;p&gt;He joined&amp;nbsp;Queen Camilla&amp;nbsp;and other members of the royal family &amp;#8211; including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/princess-anne/&quot;&gt;Princess Anne&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-andrew/&quot;&gt;Prince Andrew&lt;/a&gt;, and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sarah-ferguson/&quot;&gt;Duchess of York&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; for the annual&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/easter/&quot;&gt;Easter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Mattins Service at St George&amp;#8217;s Chapel at&amp;nbsp;Windsor Castle.&lt;/p&gt;

  14103. &lt;/div&gt;

  14109.  
  14110.  
  14111.  
  14112. &lt;p&gt;Her devoted husband was a pillar of support, taking some time away to stay by her side.&lt;/p&gt;
  14113.  
  14114.  
  14115.  
  14116. &lt;p&gt;But, the prince is has leapt back into action and promised &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27392420/prince-william-first-engagement-princess-kate-cancer/&quot;&gt;to &amp;#8220;look after&amp;#8221; Kate&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as he made his first public appearance since her cancer announcement.&lt;/p&gt;

  14185. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;KING Charles III has given an update about his health after announcing in February 2024 that he had been diagnosed with cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  14186.  
  14187.  
  14188.  
  14189. &lt;p&gt;He is set to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27559687/king-charles-return-to-work-first-official-engagement-cancer/&quot;&gt;return to his usual royal duties&lt;/a&gt;. Here we take a look at the timeline of events surrounding the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25739843/king-charles-cancer-diagnosis/&quot;&gt;monarch&amp;#8217;s health&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14195.  
  14196.  
  14197. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How is King Charles?&lt;/h2&gt;
  14198.  
  14199.  
  14200.  
  14201. &lt;p&gt;King Charles is due to return his royal duties after undergoing cancer treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  14202.  
  14203.  
  14204.  
  14205. &lt;p&gt;The King will make his return just 11 weeks after his announcement that he had cancer and will be visiting a cancer hospital to meet staff and patients on Tuesday May 30, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  14206.  
  14207.  
  14208.  
  14209. &lt;p&gt;The palace have also confirmed that he will be hosting a state visit from the Emperor and Empress of Japan in the summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  14210.  
  14211.  
  14212.  
  14213. &lt;p&gt;In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;
  14214.  
  14215.  
  14216.  
  14217. &lt;p&gt;“To help mark this milestone, The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet with medical specialists and patients.&lt;/p&gt;
  14218.  
  14219.  
  14220.  
  14221. &lt;p&gt;“This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14222.  
  14223.  
  14224.  
  14225. &lt;p&gt;The palace confirmed that the King’s treatment is ongoing but doctors are pleased with his progress.&lt;/p&gt;
  14226.  
  14227.  
  14228.  
  14229. &lt;p&gt;They said: “His Majesty’s treatment programme will continue, but doctors are sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far that The King is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties.&lt;/p&gt;
  14230.  
  14231.  
  14232.  
  14233. &lt;p&gt;“Forthcoming engagements will be adapted where necessary to minimise any risks to His Majesty’s continued recovery.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14234.  
  14235.  
  14236.  
  14237. &lt;p&gt;The palace revealed that while King Charles underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate, the unspecified cancer was found.&lt;/p&gt;
  14238.  
  14239.  
  14240.  
  14241. &lt;p&gt;Friends and family of the Monarch have said his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25741435/king-charles-cancer-returning-duty/&quot;&gt;spirits remain high&lt;/a&gt; as he fights his latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25742668/king-charles-health-battles-cancer-back-pain/&quot;&gt;health battle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14257.  
  14258. &lt;p&gt;While a hospital outpatient, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot;&gt;King Charles&lt;/a&gt; has continued to carry out his constitutional role — reading government papers and having weekly audiences with the Prime Minister.&lt;/p&gt;
  14259.  
  14260.  
  14261.  
  14262. &lt;p&gt;It is understood Charles returned from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25745578/charles-spends-night-at-home-cancer-treatment/&quot;&gt;Sandringham to London&lt;/a&gt; for his treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  14263.  
  14264.  
  14265.  
  14266. &lt;p&gt;The King&amp;#8217;s family have rallied around him, which also saw his youngest son Prince Harry briefly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25750090/prince-harry-royal-charles-cancer/&quot;&gt;flying in from America&lt;/a&gt; to be by his father&amp;#8217;s side.&lt;/p&gt;
  14267.  
  14268.  
  14269.  
  14270. &lt;p&gt;Here is a timeline of the King&amp;#8217;s health battle so far in 2024:&lt;/p&gt;

  14541.  
  14542. &lt;p&gt;Charles has twice fallen from a horse, luckily not suffering any long term damage on those occasions, and damaged his larynx whilst playing polo in 1981.&lt;/p&gt;

  14582. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;KING Charles appears determined to carry on his duties with Camilla as his &amp;#8220;source of strength&amp;#8221;, a body language expert has claimed.&lt;/p&gt;
  14583.  
  14584.  
  14585.  
  14586. &lt;p&gt;The nation was left shocked earlier this year when&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25735220/king-charles-cancer-royal-family-operation-prostate/&quot;&gt;Charles revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  14600.  
  14601.  
  14602. &lt;p&gt;Today palace officials say the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;King&lt;/a&gt;, 75, is still undergoing cancer treatment but his medical team are &amp;#8220;very encouraged by the progress&amp;#8221; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27559687/king-charles-return-to-work-first-official-engagement-cancer/&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;remain positive&amp;#8221; about his recovery&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14603.  
  14604.  
  14605.  
  14606. &lt;p&gt;Charles will be joined by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Camilla&lt;/a&gt;, 76, as he chooses to make his public comeback by visiting a cancer hospital to speak to staff and patients, together on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

  14611.  
  14612.  
  14613.  
  14614. &lt;p&gt;The palace has also confirmed he will host a State Visit from the Emperor and Empress of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/japan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt; this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14618. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Charles&lt;/a&gt; has now shared a sweet new picture with stoic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Camilla&lt;/a&gt; right by his side as he continues to bravely fight his cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  14619.  
  14620.  
  14621.  
  14622. &lt;p&gt;The photo was taken in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/buckingham-palace/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Buckingham Palace Gardens&lt;/a&gt; on April 10, the day after the royal couple&amp;#8217;s wedding anniversary &amp;#8211; and also marks one year since the Coronation.&lt;/p&gt;
  14623.  
  14624.  
  14625.  
  14626. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It also comes as:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14627.  
  14628.  
  14629.  
  14630. &lt;ul&gt;
  14631. &lt;li&gt;King Charles released a cancer update saying he&amp;#8217;s feeling &amp;#8220;greatly encouraged&amp;#8221; by treatment&lt;/li&gt;
  14632.  
  14633.  
  14634.  
  14635. &lt;li&gt;Charles&amp;#8217; upcoming engagements will include meeting Emporor of Japan as his schedule is packed&lt;/li&gt;
  14636.  
  14637.  
  14638.  
  14639. &lt;li&gt;Body language expert &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27563809/adoring-king-charles-determined-carry-on-duties/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Judi James&lt;/a&gt; says image of Charles with Queen Camilla reveal how she&amp;#8217;s been his strength&lt;/li&gt;
  14640.  
  14641.  
  14642.  
  14643. &lt;li&gt;Doctors are &amp;#8220;positive&amp;#8221; about the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27565923/charles-doctors-positive-kings-cancer-recovery/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;King&amp;#8217;s recovery&lt;/a&gt; as heads back to work 11 weeks after diagnosis&lt;/li&gt;
  14644.

  14648. &lt;/ul&gt;
  14649.  
  14650.  
  14651.  
  14652. &lt;p&gt;In the snap, the King is seen beaming as he smiles lovingly at Camilla, who clasps his left arm affectionately.&lt;/p&gt;
  14653.  
  14654.  
  14655.  
  14656. &lt;p&gt;Speaking exclusively to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Sun&lt;/a&gt;, body language expert &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/25876592/body-language-expert-true-love/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Judi James&lt;/a&gt; revealed the two put on a united and reassured front in the latest picture.&lt;/p&gt;

  14668. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  14670.  
  14671.  
  14672.  
  14673. &lt;p&gt;Camilla has been praised as Charles&amp;#8217; &amp;#8220;rock&amp;#8221; following his diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;
  14674.  
  14675.  
  14676.  
  14677. &lt;p&gt;And Judi notes that there could even be a suggestion &amp;#8220;their relationship might have deepened&amp;#8221; given Charles’s illness.&lt;/p&gt;
  14678.  
  14679.  
  14680.  
  14681. &lt;p&gt;The body language pro said: &amp;#8220;This pose though allows us a glimpse of their authentic relationship without the usual restrictions and filters.&lt;/p&gt;
  14682.  
  14683.  
  14684.  
  14685. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What we can see here is a naturally relaxed couple with Charles finally allowing himself to show his adoration and his gratitude towards Camilla as well as hinting that he has been relying on her as a source of strength during his illness.&lt;/p&gt;
  14686.  
  14687.  
  14688.  
  14689. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The spatial gap between them in negligible as Camilla leans her torso in towards her husband.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14713. &lt;p&gt;The body language expert says the &amp;#8220;unusual statement pose was all the more poignant&amp;#8221; given the monarch&amp;#8217;s current &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; battles.&lt;/p&gt;
  14714.

  14717. &lt;p&gt;Judi believes that Charles&amp;#8217; pose is an indicator of his &amp;#8220;calm determination&amp;#8221; to carry on with his duties as monarch.&lt;/p&gt;
  14718.  
  14719.  
  14720.  
  14721. &lt;p&gt;She continued: &amp;#8220;With the famous resilience and stoicism of the Windsor men, Charles places one hand in his pocket in a suave-looking pose despite the fact that he appears slimmer and frailer here. &lt;/p&gt;
  14722.  
  14723.  
  14724.  
  14725. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This casual ‘manly’ pose seems to provide an active signal of calm determination to carry on his duties as King as soon as possible.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14736. &lt;div&gt;
  14737. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Does today&amp;#8217;s announcement mean King Charles&amp;#8217; cancer treatment has been successful or finished?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14738. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s treatment programme is ongoing but doctors are &amp;#8220;sufficiently pleased&amp;#8221; with the progress so far and Charles is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties. Further royal engagements will be adapted where necessary to cut down on any recovery risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  14739. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How much longer will King Charles receive treatment?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14740. &lt;p&gt;A: While it is too early to say, the King&amp;#8217;s medical team are &amp;#8220;very encouraged&amp;#8221; by progress made so far and remain &amp;#8220;positive&amp;#8221; about his recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  14741. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How many engagements will King Charles undertake in the weeks and months ahead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14742. &lt;p&gt;A: They will be announced nearer the time in the usual manner and will remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice. It will not be a full summer programme. His Majesty will continue with all official State business and selected Audiences.&lt;/p&gt;
  14743. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Is there a risk King Charles may be taking on too much with these external duties?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14744. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s schedule will be carefully designed to meet his recovery needs and he will be in close consultation with his medical team.&lt;/p&gt;
  14745. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will King Charles attend the Birthday Parade, D-Day Commemorations, Garden Parties, Royal Ascot, or an Autumn overseas Tour?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14746. &lt;p&gt;A: Planning continues for ways in which the King and Queen can attend these summer and autumn engagements. All future plans remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice.&lt;/p&gt;
  14747. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How is King Charles feeling?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14748. &lt;p&gt;A: The Palace said: &amp;#8220;His Majesty is greatly encouraged to be resuming public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued car and expertise.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14749. &lt;/div&gt;

  14751. &lt;/div&gt;
  14753.  
  14754.  
  14755.  
  14756. &lt;p&gt;Judi claims that the latest snap has allowed us to see a different side of Charles and Camilla and reveals how the pair act naturally together.&lt;/p&gt;
  14757.  
  14758.  
  14759.  
  14760. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;Charles is normally very adept at verbalising his love for his wife but reticent about showing it visually.&lt;/p&gt;
  14761.  
  14762.  
  14763.  
  14764. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His upbringing has seemed to create an intellectual circuit-breaker for him when it comes to PDAs, making him appear mildly allergic to them. &lt;/p&gt;
  14765.  
  14766.  
  14767.  
  14768. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Camilla’s own body language with her husband in public has so far been focused on staying peripheral when it comes to the spotlight.&lt;/p&gt;
  14769.  
  14770.  
  14771.  
  14772. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She tends to look eager to do the right thing during public and formal outings with Charles which can make her look edgy and to take her cues from him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14785.  
  14786.  
  14787.  
  14788. &lt;p&gt;She continued: &amp;#8220;It is rare to see Camilla greet the camera with her eyes rather than Charles but here she is clearly using direct eye contact with us to suggest pride and hopefully some relief that he is still smiling happily beside her. &lt;/p&gt;
  14789.  
  14790.  
  14791.  
  14792. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In a role-reversal it is Charles turning his head here to gaze at Camilla’s face rather than her taking the cues from him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14793.

  14799.  
  14800. &lt;p&gt;Judi added: &amp;#8220;Their choice of blue outfits with his tie co-ordinating with her dress signals calm continuity. &lt;/p&gt;

  14825. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April 4: &lt;/strong&gt;The Sun exclusively reveals King has ordered aides to &amp;#8216;supercharge&amp;#8217; his diary for the summer and is &amp;#8216;raring to go&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;

  14841. &lt;/div&gt;
  14843.  
  14844.  
  14845.  
  14846. &lt;p&gt;The King revealed on January 17 that he had been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate and was set to go to hospital.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14847.  
  14848.

  14850. &lt;p&gt;At the time, the palace said his condition was &amp;#8220;benign&amp;#8221; and he would undergo &amp;#8220;a corrective procedure&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14851.  
  14852.  
  14853.  
  14854. &lt;p&gt;It comes amid a growing closeness between&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot;&gt;King&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Kate who The Sun revealed&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26882847/king-charles-emotional-lunch-kate-middleton-cancer/&quot;&gt;shared a lunch&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/windsor-castle/&quot;&gt;Windsor Castle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;last month after their cancer shocks.&lt;/p&gt;

  14881. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LUKE LITTLER admits he could be the new Eric Bristow after a poignant win in Liverpool.&lt;/p&gt;

  14894.  
  14895.  
  14896.  
  14897. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27543380/luke-littler-darts-liverpool-jurgen-klopp/&quot;&gt;‘The Nuke’&lt;/a&gt;, 17, revealed that his last visit to the venue was the Premier League night that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/5993810/eric-bristow-dead-60-darts-crime-east-london/&quot;&gt;‘Crafty Cockney’ Bristow&lt;/a&gt; passed away six years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  14898.

  14900.  
  14901. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27555416/luke-littler-premier-league-darts-austrian-open/&quot;&gt;Littler&lt;/a&gt; took victory on Thursday night with a cocky swagger on what would have been Bristow’s 67th birthday and was likened to the legendary five-times world champ.&lt;/p&gt;
  14902.  
  14903.  
  14904.  
  14905. &lt;p&gt;He revealed: “The last time I was here was the night Eric passed away. I was only 11.&lt;/p&gt;
  14906.  
  14907.  
  14908.  
  14909. &lt;p&gt;“I was up in the stands with my friend. There’s a picture on my phone.&lt;/p&gt;
  14910.  
  14911.  
  14912.  
  14913. &lt;p&gt;“It’s nice to win. The last time I was here he passed away, today it’s his birthday and I’ve won.&lt;/p&gt;
  14914.  
  14915.  
  14916.  
  14917. &lt;p&gt;“The other day it was the memories on Facebook I was here, now it’s his birthday.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14918.  
  14919.  
  14920.  
  14921. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27551118/luke-littler-water-bottle-sky-sports/&quot;&gt;Littler&lt;/a&gt; was likened to ‘Brissy’ by Sky commentator Wayne Mardle as he wound-up the Liverpool fans in the crowd and played up on stage to the deafening boos.&lt;/p&gt;
  14922.  
  14923.  
  14924.  
  14925. &lt;p&gt;On whether that helped his motivation, he added: “Obviously it helped me tonight, I knew what was coming my way and I enjoyed it.&lt;/p&gt;
  14926.  
  14927.  
  14928.  
  14929.  
  14930.  
  14931. &lt;p&gt;“I watched a few of my games back and Wayne has always said Eric would have loved to watch me play.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14932.  
  14933.  
  14934.  
  14935. &lt;p&gt;On becoming the new Bristow, Littler smiled and added: “We’ll have to see in years to come!”&lt;/p&gt;

  14959. &lt;p&gt;The Warrington wonderkid had been warned by pals &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27547777/luke-littler-darts-nathan-aspinall-premier-league/&quot;&gt;Nathan Aspinall &lt;/a&gt;and Michael Smith to “calm down” his social media digs at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; after their defeats at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; and against Atalanta.&lt;/p&gt;
  14960.  
  14961.  
  14962.  
  14963. &lt;p&gt;But as the 8,000 fans served up a deafening din of boos for his walk-on, Littler responded with a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27486378/everton-liverpool-live-score-premier-league-latest-updates-result/&quot;&gt;2-0 hand signal after Liverpool’s defeat at Everton&lt;/a&gt; the previous night.&lt;/p&gt;
  14964.  
  14965.  
  14966.  
  14967. &lt;p&gt;He added: “I was enjoying it. They were booing me and I was just telling them what happened the night before.&lt;/p&gt;
  14968.  
  14969.  
  14970.  
  14971. &lt;p&gt;“I was expecting the worst then if it was anything better, then it was good.&lt;/p&gt;
  14972.  
  14973.  
  14974.  
  14975. &lt;p&gt;“The crowd was a bit bad but I didn’t help myself much. I kept myself composed and won all my games.&lt;/p&gt;
  14976.  
  14977.  
  14978.  
  14979. &lt;p&gt;“It’s just banter. But I knew what I got myself into. I knew what was going to happen tonight. But I’m just happy to win.&lt;/p&gt;
  14980.  
  14981.  
  14982.  
  14983. &lt;p&gt;“If you give it you have to take it. And I’m sure if I did lose tonight that would all be on social media but then I’ve just got to get on with the next one.&lt;/p&gt;
  14984.  
  14985.  
  14986.  
  14987. &lt;p&gt;“It’s just banter and as a United fan you like to see Liverpool as rivals lose games.&lt;/p&gt;
  14988.  
  14989.  
  14990.  
  14991. &lt;p&gt;“We’re not doing too well this season and they’re enjoying that.&lt;/p&gt;
  14992.  
  14993.  
  14994.  
  14995. &lt;p&gt;“Obviously I enjoyed the FA Cup win and them getting knocked out of the Europa League. It’s just all banter.&lt;/p&gt;
  14996.  
  14997.  
  14998.  
  14999. &lt;p&gt;“There’s United fans and I’ve got fans into darts. Maybe the two can connect and support me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15000.  
  15001.  
  15002.  
  15003. &lt;p&gt;Littler has now qualified for the finals night at the O2 in May on his debut and red-hot favourite as he tops the league table.&lt;/p&gt;
  15004.  
  15005.  
  15006.  
  15007. &lt;p&gt;On reaching the finals night, he added: “It means the world from watching it as a little kid, watching everyone qualify through it every week. I can say to myself I’m in the top four. I’m happy to be quite clear at the top of the table.&lt;/p&gt;
  15008.  
  15009.  
  15010.  
  15011. &lt;p&gt;“All I wanted was a bit of banter and get myself a few more points to add on to what I’ve already got. I ended up leaving with more points than what I should have.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15012.

  15030. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ANOTHER day, another Love Island feud and this time, Scott Van- der Sluis has taken to social media, threatening to batter his rival from the villa, Mitch Taylor.&lt;/p&gt;
  15031.  
  15032.  
  15033.  
  15034. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mitchel-taylor/&quot;&gt;Mitch, 27 &lt;/a&gt;posted a series of photos to social media with the caption: &lt;/p&gt;
  15035.  
  15036.  
  15037.  
  15038. &lt;p&gt;“ You&amp;#8217;re still trying to find better aren’t you.” Then he posted a video of himself saying: “I don’t care about peoples opinions, I am who I am.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15039.  
  15040.  
  15041.  
  15042. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567598&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/love-island-feud-reignited-scott-896936226.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567598&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Scott Van De Sluis posted a challenge under Mitch&amp;#8217;s latest pic, threatening to batter him[/caption]
  15043.  
  15044.  
  15045.  
  15046. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567638&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 927px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/www-instagram-com-scottvds17-853172786.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=917&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567638&quot; width=&quot;917&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Mitch has said he&amp;#8217;d love a face off with his handsome Love Island rival, Scott[/caption]
  15047.  
  15048.  
  15049.  
  15050. &lt;p&gt;In the comments section, Scott, 23,  wrote: “I&amp;#8217;d batter you.” To which Mitch replied by tagging him into Misfits boxing page.&lt;/p&gt;
  15051.  
  15052.  
  15053.  
  15054. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/scott-van-der-sluis/&quot;&gt;But the Welsh footballer&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; direct challenge came after Mitch had said that he’d like to face off Scott in the boxing ring.&lt;/p&gt;
  15055.  
  15056.  
  15057.  
  15058. &lt;p&gt;Mitch attended a GBM Sports boxing match over the weekend and was asked which three Islanders he&amp;#8217;d like to fight.&lt;/p&gt;
  15059.  
  15060.  
  15061.  
  15062. &lt;p&gt;In a recent interview shared on Reddit, Mitch said: &amp;#8220;Fight wise, as much as Scott is my boy, I think we&amp;#8217;d do good in the ring, I&amp;#8217;d fight Scott, I&amp;#8217;d fight Anton.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15063.  
  15064.  
  15065.  
  15066. &lt;p&gt;The star then confessed his top three would be Luca Bish, Scott van-der-Sluis&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/anton-danyluk/&quot;&gt;Anton Danyluk.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15067.  
  15068.  
  15069.  
  15070. &lt;p&gt;When asked who his favourite to fight would be, Mitch said: &amp;#8220;Tickets sale wise if we were going to make money it would be Anton.&lt;/p&gt;
  15071.  
  15072.  
  15073.  
  15074. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Me and Anton have a bit of a feud.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15075.  
  15076.  
  15077.  
  15078. &lt;p&gt;The reality star said he would also fight Scott, who he did clash with in the villa, but he &amp;#8220;loves him to bits&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15079.  
  15080.  
  15081.  
  15082. &lt;p&gt;Mitch continued: &amp;#8220;Anger wise&amp;#8230; Anton. Anton 100 per cent.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15083.  
  15084.  
  15085.  
  15086. &lt;p&gt;The interviewer asked: &amp;#8220;Is it that bad?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15087.  
  15088.  
  15089.  
  15090. &lt;p&gt;Mitch explained: &amp;#8220;Like I say&amp;#8230; I saw him at a PLT event and he tried to brush it off. In interviews he said some things he shouldn&amp;#8217;t have said.&lt;/p&gt;
  15091.  
  15092.  
  15093.  
  15094. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s let me down. I&amp;#8217;d be mutual with him, but he&amp;#8217;ll never be a friend of mine. Never.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15095.  
  15096.  
  15097.  
  15098. &lt;p&gt;Mitch then joked that he&amp;#8217;d fight all three of the boys in one night, with Luca as the warm up, followed by Scott, and then Anton.&lt;/p&gt;
  15099.  
  15100.  
  15101.  
  15102. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/pollingwidgets/v3/widget.js?question_id=73742&amp;#038;game=polling&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  15103.  
  15104.  
  15105.  
  15106. &lt;p&gt;The former gas engineer couldn&amp;#8217;t help but throw shade at his co-star again.&lt;/p&gt;
  15107.  
  15108.  
  15109.  
  15110. &lt;p&gt;Mitch said: &amp;#8220;Then when I&amp;#8217;m warmed up, just quickly smack Anton&amp;#8217;s extremely good hair line off.&lt;/p&gt;
  15111.  
  15112.  
  15113.  
  15114. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t reckon the hairline is real.&lt;/p&gt;
  15115.  
  15116.  
  15117.  
  15118. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s been to Turkey hasn&amp;#8217;t he.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15119.  
  15120.  
  15121.  
  15122. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s not nicknamed &amp;#8216;Messy Mitch&amp;#8217; for nothing.&lt;/p&gt;
  15123.

  15248. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Does today&amp;#8217;s announcement mean King Charles&amp;#8217; cancer treatment has been successful or finished? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15249. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s treatment programme is ongoing but doctors are &amp;#8220;sufficiently pleased&amp;#8221; with the progress so far and Charles is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties. Further royal engagements will be adapted where necessary to cut down on any recovery risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  15250. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How much longer will King Charles receive treatment? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15251. &lt;p&gt;A: While it is too early to say, the King&amp;#8217;s medical team are &amp;#8220;very encouraged&amp;#8221; by progress made so far and remain &amp;#8220;positive&amp;#8221; about his recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  15252. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How many engagements will King Charles undertake in the weeks and months ahead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15253. &lt;p&gt;A: They will be announced nearer the time in the usual manner and will remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice. It will not be a full summer programme. His Majesty will continue with all official State business and selected Audiences.&lt;/p&gt;
  15254. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Is there a risk King Charles may be taking on too much with these external duties?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15255. &lt;p&gt;A: The King&amp;#8217;s schedule will be carefully designed to meet his recovery needs and he will be in close consultation with his medical team.&lt;/p&gt;
  15256. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will King Charles attend the Birthday Parade, D-Day Commemorations, Garden Parties, Royal Ascot, or an Autumn overseas Tour?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15257. &lt;p&gt;A: Planning continues for ways in which the King and Queen can attend these summer and autumn engagements. All future plans remain under doctor&amp;#8217;s advice.&lt;/p&gt;
  15258. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How is King Charles feeling?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15259. &lt;p&gt;A: The Palace said: &amp;#8220;His Majesty is greatly encouraged to be resuming public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued car and expertise.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15260. &lt;/div&gt;
  15261. &lt;/div&gt;
  15262. &lt;/div&gt;
  15264.  
  15265.  
  15266.  
  15267. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In addition, The King and Queen will host Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan for a State Visit in June, at the request of HM Government.&lt;/p&gt;
  15268.  
  15269.  
  15270.  
  15271. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As the first anniversary of The Coronation approaches, Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindness and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the year.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  15277.  
  15278.  
  15279. &lt;p&gt;The King is well enough to take&amp;nbsp;part in outdoor engagements which means &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/royal-ascot/&quot;&gt;Royal Ascot&lt;/a&gt;, Trooping the Colour joining and the Royal Family on the&amp;nbsp;palace balcony, are possibly on the cards.&lt;/p&gt;
  15280.  
  15281.

  15283. &lt;p&gt;It confirms The Sun&amp;#8217;s exclusive story three weeks ago when we revealed the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27129475/king-charles-tour-australia-cancer-treatment-goes-well/&quot;&gt;King had told aides he was &amp;#8220;raring to go&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; and ordered staff to &amp;#8220;supercharge&amp;#8221; his diary for the summer.&lt;/p&gt;

  15308.

  15319. &lt;p&gt;It comes after His Majesty bravely opened up about&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25735220/king-charles-cancer-royal-family-operation-prostate/&quot;&gt; his diagnosis in February &lt;/a&gt;this year after the disease was spotted during a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25396371/charles-seeks-treatment-for-enlarged-prostate-king/&quot;&gt;his prostate operation.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  15324.  
  15325.  
  15326.  
  15327. &lt;p&gt;However, he has still been carrying out official State business and selected Audiences throughout his recovery programme.&lt;/p&gt;

  15345. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/ethan-singh/&quot;&gt;Ethan Singh&lt;/a&gt;, News Reporter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15346. &lt;p&gt;KING Charles appears determined to carry on with his duties with Camilla his “source of strength”, a body language expert has claimed.&lt;/p&gt;
  15347. &lt;p&gt;The nation was left shocked earlier this year when&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25735220/king-charles-cancer-royal-family-operation-prostate/&quot;&gt;Charles revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15348. &lt;p&gt;Today palace officials say the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;King&lt;/a&gt;, 75, is still undergoing cancer treatment but his medical team are &amp;#8220;very encouraged by the progress&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;remain positive&amp;#8221; about his recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  15349. &lt;p&gt;Charles will be joined by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Camilla&lt;/a&gt;, 76, as he chooses to make his public comeback by visiting a cancer hospital to speak to staff and patients, together on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  15350. &lt;p&gt;The palace has also confirmed he will host a State Visit from the Emperor and Empress of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/japan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt; this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15351. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Charles&lt;/a&gt; has now shared a sweet new picture with stoic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Camilla&lt;/a&gt; right by his side as he continues to bravely fight his cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15352. &lt;p&gt;The photo was taken in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/buckingham-palace/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Buckingham Palace Gardens&lt;/a&gt; on April 10, the day after the royal couple&amp;#8217;s wedding anniversary &amp;#8211; and also marks one year since the Coronation.&lt;/p&gt;
  15353. &lt;p&gt;In the snap, the King is seen beaming as he smiles lovingly at Camilla, who clasps his left arm affectionately.&lt;/p&gt;
  15354. &lt;p&gt;Speaking exclusively to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Sun&lt;/a&gt;, body language expert &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/25876592/body-language-expert-true-love/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Judi James&lt;/a&gt; revealed the two put on a united and reassured front in the latest picture.&lt;/p&gt;
  15355. &lt;p&gt;amilla has been praised as Charles&amp;#8217; &amp;#8220;rock&amp;#8221; following his diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;
  15356. &lt;p&gt;And Judi notes that there could even be a suggestion &amp;#8220;their relationship might have deepened&amp;#8221; given Charles’s illness.&lt;/p&gt;
  15357. &lt;p&gt;The body language pro said: &amp;#8220;This pose though allows us a glimpse of their authentic relationship without the usual restrictions and filters.&lt;/p&gt;
  15358. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What we can see here is a naturally relaxed couple with Charles finally allowing himself to show his adoration and his gratitude towards Camilla as well as hinting that he has been relying on her as a source of strength during his illness.&lt;/p&gt;
  15359. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The spatial gap between them in negligible as Camilla leans her torso in towards her husband.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15360. &lt;p&gt;The body language expert says the &amp;#8220;unusual statement pose was all the more poignant&amp;#8221; given the monarch&amp;#8217;s current &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; battles.&lt;/p&gt;
  15361. &lt;p&gt;Judi believes that Charles&amp;#8217; pose is an indicator of his &amp;#8220;calm determination&amp;#8221; to carry on with his duties as monarch.&lt;/p&gt;
  15362. &lt;p&gt;She continued: &amp;#8220;With the famous resilience and stoicism of the Windsor men, Charles places one hand in his pocket in a suave-looking pose despite the fact that he appears slimmer and frailer here. &lt;/p&gt;
  15363. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This casual ‘manly’ pose seems to provide an active signal of calm determination to carry on his duties as King as soon as possible.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15364. &lt;p&gt;Judi claims that the latest snap has allowed us to see a different side of Charles and Camilla and reveals how the pair act naturally together.&lt;/p&gt;
  15365. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;Charles is normally very adept at verbalising his love for his wife but reticent about showing it visually.&lt;/p&gt;
  15366. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His upbringing has seemed to create an intellectual circuit-breaker for him when it comes to PDAs, making him appear mildly allergic to them. &lt;/p&gt;
  15367. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Camilla’s own body language with her husband in public has so far been focused on staying peripheral when it comes to the spotlight.&lt;/p&gt;
  15368. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She tends to look eager to do the right thing during public and formal outings with Charles which can make her look edgy and to take her cues from him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15369. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?p=27563809&amp;amp;preview=true#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15370. &lt;/div&gt;
  15371. &lt;/div&gt;
  15372. &lt;/div&gt;
  15374.  
  15375.  
  15376.  
  15377. &lt;p&gt;The palace has only so far confirmed the King&amp;#8217;s cancer hospital enragement last week and Japan State Visit.&lt;/p&gt;
  15378.  
  15379.  
  15380.  
  15381. &lt;p&gt;They have also confirmed The Sun&amp;#8217;s story last month that planning is underway for the King to travel abroad which includes&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27049854/camilla-replace-charles-d-day-france/&quot;&gt; D-Day 80th anniversary commemorations&lt;/a&gt; in June and even Australia in October.&lt;/p&gt;

  15388.  
  15389. &lt;p&gt;The palace spokesperson added: &amp;#8220;Planning continues for ways in which Their Majesties may attend such summer and autumn engagements, though nothing can be confirmed or guaranteed at this stage.&lt;/p&gt;
  15390.  
  15391.  
  15392.  
  15393. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All future plans remain subject to doctors&amp;#8217; advice nearer the time, with appropriate adaptations made where necessary to minimise any risks to His Majesty’s continued recovery.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  15399.

  15453. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-middleton/&quot;&gt;royal mum-of-three&lt;/a&gt;, 42, opened up about her diagnosis in an emotional video last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  15454.  
  15455.  
  15456.  
  15457. &lt;p&gt;Like her father-in-law, doctors detected the disease after she went in for&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25405750/kate-middleton-abdominal-surgery-what-we-know/&quot;&gt; planned abdominal surgery&lt;/a&gt; in January.&lt;/p&gt;
  15458.  
  15459.  
  15460.  
  15461. &lt;p&gt;In the announcement, which saw a surge in NHS clicks online, Kate revealed she&amp;#8217;d had an&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26856992/princess-kate-health-update-royal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;incredibly tough&amp;#8221; couple of months&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15462.  
  15463.  
  15464.  
  15465. &lt;p&gt;The King has now personally&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27493083/kate-middleton-news-awarded-title-king-charles/&quot;&gt; awarded the Princess of Wales a new title&lt;/a&gt; in recognition of her unwavering public service.&lt;/p&gt;
  15466.  
  15467.  
  15468.  
  15469. &lt;p&gt;She is the first recipient of The Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour. &lt;/p&gt;
  15470.  
  15471.  
  15472.  
  15473. &lt;p&gt;Their growing closeness and the honorific title puts her as the most senior member of holders of the regular The Order of the Companion of Honour, such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-paul-mccartney/&quot;&gt;Sir Paul McCartney&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-david-attenborough/&quot;&gt;Sir David Attenborough&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15474.  
  15475.  
  15476.  
  15477. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;PILLARS OF SUPPORT&lt;/h2&gt;
  15478.  
  15479.  
  15480.  
  15481. &lt;p&gt;As Princess Kate and King Charles have taken a step back, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-william/&quot;&gt;Prince William&lt;/a&gt; and Queen Camilla have stepped up to&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12834117/prince-william-fine-leader-britain/&quot;&gt; shoulder the burden of their royal duties. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15482.  
  15483.  
  15484.  
  15485. &lt;p&gt;Just yesterday, Wills visited a school in Sandwell,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/west-midlands/&quot;&gt;West Midlands&lt;/a&gt; to meet a boy, 12, who wrote him a heartfelt letter about the stigma around male mental health.&lt;/p&gt;
  15486.  
  15487.  
  15488.  
  15489. &lt;p&gt;The royal apologised for Kate&amp;#8217;s absence and said &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27530597/prince-william-meets-boy-heartfelt-letter-anzac-day/&quot;&gt;she would have &amp;#8220;loved to be there.&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15490.  
  15491.  
  15492.  
  15493. &lt;p&gt;Last week, the prince&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27424393/prince-william-attends-funeral-major-mike-sadler-sas-originals/&quot;&gt; attended the funeral of Major Mike Sadler&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; the last of the wartime SAS &amp;#8216;Originals&amp;#8217; who died at 103.&lt;/p&gt;
  15494.  
  15495.  
  15496.  
  15497. &lt;p&gt;And, just days before the dad-of-three promised &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27392420/prince-william-first-engagement-princess-kate-cancer/&quot;&gt;to &amp;#8220;look after&amp;#8221; Kate&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as he made his first public appearance since her cancer announcement.&lt;/p&gt;
  15498.  
  15499.  
  15500.  
  15501. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  15502. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  15503. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Charles’ docs are ‘positive’ about King’s cancer recovery&lt;/h3&gt;
  15504. &lt;/div&gt;
  15505. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  15508. &lt;div&gt;
  15509. &lt;p&gt;KING Charles’ doctors are “positive” about his cancer recovery as he heads back to work 11 weeks after his diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;
  15510. &lt;p&gt;The monarch is well enough to return to front-line public-facing duties,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/buckingham-palace/&quot;&gt;Buckingham Palace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has announced.&lt;/p&gt;
  15511. &lt;p&gt;Palace officials say the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot;&gt;King&lt;/a&gt;, 75, is still undergoing cancer treatment but his medical team are “very encouraged by the progress” and “remain positive” about his recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  15512. &lt;p&gt;Charles will be joined by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot;&gt;Camilla&lt;/a&gt;, 76, as he chooses to make his public comeback by visiting a cancer hospital to speak to staff and patients, together on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  15513. &lt;p&gt;The palace has also confirmed he will host a State Visit from the Emperor and Empress of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/japan/&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;this&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?p=27565923&amp;amp;preview=true#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15514. &lt;/div&gt;
  15515. &lt;/div&gt;
  15516. &lt;/div&gt;
  15518.  
  15519.  
  15520.  
  15521. &lt;p&gt;William gave a helping hand loading food and cooking in the kitchen at food distribution charity Surplus to Supper, in Sunbury-on-Thames,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/surrey/&quot;&gt;Surrey&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15522.  
  15523.  
  15524.  
  15525. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot;&gt;Queen Camilla&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;continues to be the King&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;rock&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; and is said to be in regular contact with Kate.&lt;/p&gt;
  15526.  
  15527.  
  15528.  
  15529. &lt;p&gt;The Queen has continued to carry out all of her royal duties and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/25735806/charles-rock-camilla-standing-side-hospital-prostate/&quot;&gt;attended many events by herself&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after urging Charles to slow down.&lt;/p&gt;
  15530.  
  15531.  
  15532.  
  15533. &lt;p&gt;She attended 13 royal engagements in the month after His Majesty&amp;#8217;s health announcement. &lt;/p&gt;
  15534.  
  15535.  
  15536.  
  15537. &lt;p&gt;In March, she jetted off for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26315866/queen-camilla-holiday-break-king-charles/&quot;&gt;a well-deserved break&lt;/a&gt; as one of the last key royals standing amid Kate and Charles&amp;#8217; rest.&lt;/p&gt;
  15538.  
  15539.  
  15540.  
  15541. &lt;p&gt;But, Camilla dutifully returned on March 11 to stand in for the king at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/commonwealth/&quot;&gt;Commonwealth&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Day service at Westminster Abbey.&lt;/p&gt;

  15571. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;RENTERS may feel at the mercy of their landlords, but there are plenty of rules they need to follow or you could get compensation.&lt;/p&gt;
  15572.  
  15573.  
  15574.  
  15575. &lt;p&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27211609/tricks-mould-condensation-health-nhs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;mould&lt;/a&gt; to &amp;#8220;risky&amp;#8221; deposits, we round up everything you need to know.&lt;/p&gt;
  15576.  
  15577.  
  15578.  
  15579. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567826&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/KS_Money_CLAIM_COMP.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567826&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Renters have certain protections in their homes or they could get compensation&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  15580.  
  15581.  
  15582.  
  15583. &lt;p&gt;It comes as reforms to the private &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/renting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;rented&lt;/a&gt; sector moved closer to becoming law on Wednesday this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  15584.  
  15585.  
  15586.  
  15587. &lt;p&gt;However, MPs and campaigners criticised the “indefinite delay” on plans to abolish so-called &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27377238/almost-one-million-renters-served-no-fault-notices/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;“no-fault” Section 21 evictions&lt;/a&gt;, which were first announced in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  15588.  
  15589.  
  15590.  
  15591. &lt;p&gt;The Bill’s original aim was to end fixed-term tenancies, introduce a decent home standard, establish a new ombudsman and protect families in receipt of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt; from discrimination.&lt;/p&gt;
  15592.  
  15593.  
  15594.  
  15595. &lt;p&gt;It also included the long-promised plan to end&amp;nbsp;tenants&amp;nbsp;being forced from their homes under Section 21 notices.&lt;/p&gt;
  15596.  
  15597.  
  15598.  
  15599. &lt;p&gt;However, the Government wants to delay the ban until it&amp;#8217;s sure courts have the capacity to deal with new cases.&lt;/p&gt;
  15600.  
  15601.  
  15602.  
  15603. &lt;p&gt;Below we round up the current rules for landlords.&lt;/p&gt;
  15604.  
  15605.  
  15606.  
  15607. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;1. Pay you compensation for a mouldy home&lt;/h2&gt;
  15608.  
  15609.  
  15610.  
  15611. &lt;p&gt;Renters in England and Wales can take their landlords to court over problems including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/8677797/damp-mouldy-homes-renters-sue-landlords-today/&quot;&gt;cold and damp homes.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15612.  
  15613.  
  15614.  
  15615. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/20434693/black-mould-harm-childs-health-boy-dies-infested-flat/&quot;&gt;Mould is a hazard&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and can cause respiratory problems.&lt;/p&gt;
  15616.  
  15617.  
  15618.  
  15619. &lt;p&gt;The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act, which came into force in 2019, means landlords must make sure their properties meet certain standards.&lt;/p&gt;

  15641.  
  15642.  
  15643. &lt;p&gt;How much compensation you get for housing disrepair depends on your circumstances and how bad the problem is.&lt;/p&gt;
  15644.  
  15645.  
  15646.  
  15647. &lt;p&gt;It is usually calculated as a percentage of the rent you paid while living in the conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
  15648.  
  15649.  
  15650.  
  15651. &lt;p&gt;A completely uninhabitable property could get 100% of rent as compensation, but this is rare.&lt;/p&gt;
  15652.  
  15653.  
  15654.  
  15655. &lt;p&gt;More typically, compensation &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/16848986/how-compensation-mould-in-your-home-landlord/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;would be between 25% and 50%&lt;/a&gt; of your rent, according to legal experts.&lt;/p&gt;
  15656.  
  15657.  
  15658.  
  15659. &lt;p&gt;Still, tenants will have to pay court fees unless they’re entitled to free legal aid, but you&amp;#8217;ll get some back if you win your case.&lt;/p&gt;
  15660.  
  15661.  
  15662.  
  15663. &lt;p&gt;Last year, The Sun shared &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/21954566/compensation-landlord-mould-damp-home-claim/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;how a mum-of-three got £3,000 in compensation&lt;/a&gt; after her landlord failed to fix her mould-riddled home.&lt;/p&gt;
  15664.  
  15665.  
  15666.  
  15667. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;2. Make repairs &lt;/h2&gt;
  15668.  
  15669.  
  15670.  
  15671. &lt;p&gt;Your landlord is responsible for most of the repairs that need to be carried out on your home.&lt;/p&gt;
  15672.  
  15673.  
  15674.  
  15675. &lt;p&gt;These include fixing issues with the electrical wiring, gas pipes and boilers, heating and hot water, sinks, baths and toilets.&lt;/p&gt;
  15676.  
  15677.  
  15678.  
  15679. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, tenants are responsible for repairing their own furnishings if the property is let unfurnished.&lt;/p&gt;
  15680.  
  15681.  
  15682.  
  15683. &lt;p&gt;You may be entitled to compensation from your landlord if they fail to carry out repair work within a reasonable time, or if your house is unfit to live in due to poor conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
  15684.  
  15685.  
  15686.  
  15687. &lt;p&gt;This may be in the form of a rent reduction or payout. &lt;/p&gt;
  15688.  
  15689.  
  15690.  
  15691. &lt;p&gt;If your landlord won&amp;#8217;t agree, renters can take legal action to claim compensation either during the tenancy or after it ends.&lt;/p&gt;
  15692.  
  15693.  
  15694.  
  15695. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;3. Cap your deposit&lt;/h2&gt;

  15699. &lt;p&gt;Landlords often require you to put down a deposit if you’re looking to rent a house, whether it&amp;#8217;s hundreds or thousands of pounds.&lt;/p&gt;
  15700.  
  15701.  
  15702.  
  15703. &lt;p&gt;Following a crackdown in 2019, tenants can now only be charged a maximum of five weeks’&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/renting/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;rent&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as a deposit.&lt;/p&gt;
  15704.  
  15705.  
  15706.  
  15707. &lt;p&gt;This increases to six weeks if your annual rent is £50,000 or more.&lt;/p&gt;
  15708.  
  15709.  
  15710.  
  15711. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;4. Keep your deposit safe&lt;/h2&gt;
  15712.  
  15713.  
  15714.  
  15715. &lt;p&gt;There are also rules when it comes to how your&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/18944355/rent-refund-landlord-breaks-rules-owed-cash-claim/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;deposit should be kept safe&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; and if landlords flout these rules, you &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/19202099/housing-expert-thousands-renters-compensation-risky-deposits/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;could be owed thousands of pounds&lt;/a&gt; in compensation.&lt;/p&gt;
  15716.  
  15717.  
  15718.  
  15719. &lt;p&gt;In fact, landlords&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/14463986/rights-renter-how-claim-compensation/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;legally have to store your deposit money&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in one of three government-backed tenancy deposit schemes.&lt;/p&gt;
  15720.  
  15721.  
  15722.  
  15723. &lt;p&gt;These are the Deposit Protection Service, MyDeposits and Tenancy Deposit Scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
  15724.  
  15725.  
  15726.  
  15727. &lt;p&gt;Your landlord has to provide information about which scheme they use within 30 days of you paying it. &lt;/p&gt;
  15728.  
  15729.  
  15730.  
  15731. &lt;p&gt;And if your cash isn&amp;#8217;t put into one of them, you could be entitled to compensation of up to three times your deposit amount.&lt;/p&gt;

  15736.  
  15737.  
  15738.  
  15739. &lt;p&gt;At the end of the tenancy, your landlord must also pay it back within ten days of you both agreeing how much you&amp;#8217;ll get back.&lt;/p&gt;
  15740.  
  15741.  
  15742.  
  15743. &lt;p&gt;Your landlord can only keep money from your deposit if there&amp;#8217;s a problem, for example, if you&amp;#8217;ve damaged something. &lt;/p&gt;
  15744.  
  15745.  
  15746.  
  15747. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;5. Carry out electrical safety tests&lt;/h2&gt;
  15748.  
  15749.  
  15750.  
  15751. &lt;p&gt;Landlords must make sure all gas and electrical equipment is safely installed and maintained.&lt;/p&gt;
  15752.  
  15753.  
  15754.  
  15755. &lt;p&gt;They are also required to fit and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to keep the tenants safe.&lt;/p&gt;
  15756.  
  15757.  
  15758.  
  15759. &lt;p&gt;Those who fail to carry out electrical safety tests on properties they rent out could be&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/10754153/landlords-fine-renting-home-dangerous-electrics/&quot;&gt;fined up to £30,000&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15760.  
  15761.  
  15762.  
  15763. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;6. Not charge for admin costs or renewal fees&lt;/h2&gt;
  15764.  
  15765.  
  15766.  
  15767. &lt;p&gt;Estate agents and landlords are&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/11754715/renting-fee-ban-extended-all-tenants/&quot;&gt;banned from charging tenants extra fees&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to cover administration costs, such as renewing a tenancy.&lt;/p&gt;
  15768.  
  15769.  
  15770.  
  15771. &lt;p&gt;Other charges they cannot pass onto tenants include viewing a property, and for carrying out reference checks and guarantor requests.&lt;/p&gt;
  15772.  
  15773.  
  15774.  
  15775. &lt;p&gt;The ban has been in place for new rental agreements since June 2019 and for existing agreements from June 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  15776.  
  15777.  
  15778.  
  15779. &lt;p&gt;It means fees can only be charged for lost keys and late rent, for example.&lt;/p&gt;
  15780.  
  15781.  
  15782.  
  15783. &lt;p&gt;Tenants who think they have been wrongly charged&amp;nbsp;can complain to trading standards, which is part of their local council.&lt;/p&gt;
  15784.  
  15785.  
  15786.  
  15787. &lt;p&gt;They have the power to fine a landlord or agent, and ban them from renting out properties again if they break the rules more than once.&lt;/p&gt;
  15788.

  15797. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  15798. THE first step is to try and talk through the problem, but if this does not go to plan you can write a formal letter. &lt;/p&gt;
  15800. &lt;div&gt;
  15801. &lt;p&gt;Simply explain the problem and what you want them to do to resolve it.&lt;/p&gt;
  15802. &lt;p&gt;If unsuccessful, the next step is to complain to your local council, which can help with issues regarding:&lt;/p&gt;
  15803. &lt;ul&gt;
  15804. &lt;li&gt;repairs that cause a risk to your health and safety not being done &amp;nbsp;(e.g faulty electrical wiring not being fixed)&lt;/li&gt;
  15805. &lt;li&gt;illegal eviction&lt;/li&gt;
  15806. &lt;li&gt;harassment&lt;/li&gt;
  15807. &lt;li&gt;dishonest or unfair trading behaviour &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  15808. &lt;/ul&gt;
  15809. &lt;p&gt;If your landlord still doesn’t sort out your problem or if the council can’t help, you might be able to take court action.&lt;/p&gt;
  15810. &lt;p&gt;Just remember this can be expensive so make sure it&amp;#8217;s the right option for you.&lt;/p&gt;
  15811. &lt;p&gt;You can get&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice&quot;&gt;free advice from Shelter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/index/getadvice/&quot;&gt;free advice from Citizens Advice&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;about disputes and housing problems.&lt;/p&gt;

  15814. &lt;p&gt;A solicitor can also help you too, but they might charge a fee.&lt;/p&gt;
  15815. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/18435014/renters-given-right-to-buy-homes-disount-housing-association/&quot;&gt;social tenant&lt;/a&gt;, you should complain to the Housing Ombudsman.&lt;/p&gt;

  15854.  
  15855.  
  15856.  
  15857. &lt;p&gt;The brunette beauty stunned as she modelled the copper floor-length shimmery &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/style/&quot;&gt;dress &lt;/a&gt;from Club L London that cost £75.&lt;/p&gt;
  15858.  
  15859.  
  15860.  
  15861. &lt;p&gt;Twirling around in the dress, Paige was obviously feeling her best as she revealed it was good enough to upstage any bride.&lt;/p&gt;

  15879.  
  15880.  
  15881.  
  15882. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s all I&amp;#8217;m saying.&lt;/p&gt;
  15883.  
  15884.  
  15885.  
  15886. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Upstage her and her bridesmaids.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15887.  
  15888.  
  15889.  
  15890. &lt;p&gt;She continued to show off the dress which featured a cowl neckline and skin-flashing drop back.&lt;/p&gt;
  15891.  
  15892.  
  15893.  
  15894. &lt;p&gt;It also featured an asymmetric styled sleeve to give the dress a modern touch.&lt;/p&gt;
  15895.  
  15896.  
  15897.  
  15898. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is not a head that will not be turned in this dress,&amp;#8221; she added.&lt;/p&gt;
  15899.  
  15900.  
  15901.  
  15902. &lt;p&gt;While the video was clearly meant to be taken as tongue-in-cheek &amp;#8211; people weren&amp;#8217;t impressed by Paige&amp;#8217;s comments.&lt;/p&gt;

  15948.  
  15949.  
  15950. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile a fourth said: &amp;#8220;What a horrible comment. Why even go to the wedding.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15951.

  16021. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DARTS fans have spotted Raymond van Barneveld in an advert for chocolate milk.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16022.  
  16023.  
  16024.  
  16025. &lt;p&gt;The five-time world champion made a surprise appearance in the short commercial for Chocomel.&lt;/p&gt;
  16026.  
  16027.  
  16028.  
  16029. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567600&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/www-youtube-com-watch-v-896937486.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567600&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;YouTube/Chocomel UK&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Raymond Van Barneveld appears in a chocolate milk advert[/caption]
  16030.  
  16031.  
  16032.  
  16033. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567630&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 801px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/b6634e51-d73d-44d8-9242-8951d38186d3.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=791&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567630&quot; width=&quot;791&quot; height=&quot;492&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Fans were baffled to see the five-time world champion feature&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;YouTube/Chocomel UK&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  16034.  
  16035.  
  16036.  
  16037. &lt;p&gt;The ad cuts to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/raymond-van-barneveld/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Van Barneveld&lt;/a&gt; wearing a hard hat and a hi-vis vest, sitting in a wheelbarrow on a building site as if he has just completed a day of hard graft.&lt;/p&gt;
  16038.  
  16039.  
  16040.  
  16041. &lt;p&gt;He takes a sip of the drink while the voiceover says: &amp;#8220;For the hardworking heroes, you deserve it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16042.  
  16043.  
  16044.  
  16045. &lt;p&gt;The advert was originally aired in Van Barneveld&amp;#8217;s native Netherlands, where viewers are more likely to recognise the darts legend.&lt;/p&gt;
  16046.  
  16047.  
  16048.  
  16049. &lt;p&gt;So &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/darts/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;darts&lt;/a&gt; fans in the UK are a little surprised and confused to see him feature.&lt;/p&gt;
  16050.  
  16051.  
  16052.  
  16053. &lt;p&gt;One viewer reacted saying: &amp;#8220;Hang on a minute. Did I just see Raymond Van Barneveld on a chocomel advert dressed as a labourer with absolutely no reference to who he is? What&amp;#8217;s going on?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16054.  
  16055.  
  16056.  
  16057. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Aye seen this advert the other day, really bizarre like.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16058.  
  16059.  
  16060.  
  16061. &lt;p&gt;A third wrote: &amp;#8220;That Chocomel advert is so weird. Like, Raymond van Barneveld is in it yet there&amp;#8217;s no acknowledgement at all that it&amp;#8217;s Raymond van Barneveld.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16062.  
  16063.  
  16064.  
  16065. &lt;p&gt;And another commented: &amp;#8220;I thought I was tripping.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16066.

  16108. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;JAPAN is famed for its ultra-fast bullet trains but this lavish train journey is one of its kind.&lt;/p&gt;
  16109.  
  16110.  
  16111.  
  16112. &lt;p&gt;The Seven Stars is the first &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/luxury/&quot;&gt;luxury&lt;/a&gt; sleeper train in the country which offers a unique experience like nowhere else.&lt;/p&gt;

  16129.  
  16130.  
  16131.  
  16132. &lt;p&gt;Launched in 2013, the sleeper train became an instant hit with tickets selling out at &lt;span id=&quot;ba76ae8d-1a01-44f4-9434-ed28aed25255&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;lightning&lt;/span&gt; speed each year.&lt;/p&gt;
  16133.  
  16134.  
  16135.  
  16136. &lt;p&gt;The demand is so high that passengers often have to enter a lottery for a berth on Japan’s very own Oriental Express.&lt;/p&gt;
  16137.  
  16138.  
  16139.  
  16140. &lt;p&gt;And it is no wonder since the Seven Stars is more akin to a lush cruise ship than a regular train.&lt;/p&gt;
  16141.  
  16142.  
  16143.  
  16144. &lt;p&gt;Passengers embark on a 1,800 miles journey from Hakata station in Fukuoka where they can wait for the &amp;#8220;cruise train&amp;#8221; in an exclusive lounge.&lt;/p&gt;
  16145.  
  16146.  
  16147.  
  16148. &lt;p&gt;The Seven Stars adopted its name from its route which stops at seven prefectures of Kyushu island.&lt;/p&gt;
  16149.  
  16150.  
  16151.  
  16152. &lt;p&gt;At each stop, the guests can explore the culture, cuisine and craftsmanship of the local area which is far cry from the modern &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/japan/&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16153.  
  16154.

  16156. &lt;p&gt;They are offered excursions to visit the island&amp;#8217;s nature and hot springs while learning its rich &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt; on two-day itineraries.&lt;/p&gt;
  16157.  
  16158.  
  16159.  
  16160. &lt;p&gt;But inside the train, there is still plenty to captivate the passengers&amp;#8217; attention.&lt;/p&gt;
  16161.  
  16162.  
  16163.  
  16164. &lt;p&gt;The train has ten en-suite rooms and two deluxe suites which cost about £2,400 a night.&lt;/p&gt;
  16165.  
  16166.  
  16167.  
  16168. &lt;p&gt;Every room is complete with its own shower, toilet and an air conditioner.&lt;/p&gt;

  16246.

  16249.  
  16250.  
  16251.

  16253.  
  16254.

  16278. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: Two years after she cheated, having sex with one of my friends, my ex got back in touch, and I’m feeling so confused.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16279.  
  16280.  
  16281.  
  16282. &lt;p&gt;She sent me a birthday card with a sweet message and it brought back all my old feelings.&lt;/p&gt;
  16283.  
  16284.  
  16285.  
  16286. &lt;p&gt;I’m 32 and she’s 31. We were in a relationship for three years.&lt;/p&gt;
  16287.  
  16288.  
  16289.  
  16290. &lt;p&gt;During that time, she &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/15600235/is-my-wife-cheating/&quot;&gt;cheated&lt;/a&gt; on me more than once. She could be really unpleasant, putting me down one minute and telling me how much she loved me the next.&lt;/p&gt;
  16291.  
  16292.  
  16293.  
  16294. &lt;p&gt;I was a mess, always doubting myself and worrying.&lt;/p&gt;
  16295.  
  16296.  
  16297.  
  16298. &lt;p&gt;It’s hard to explain why she had such a hold over me. But when she was nice, she was lovely &amp;#8211; kind and generous.&lt;/p&gt;
  16299.  
  16300.  
  16301.  
  16302. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  16303. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  16304. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Get in touch with the Dear Deidre team&lt;/h3&gt;
  16305. &lt;/div&gt;
  16306. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  16308. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16309. Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors. &lt;/p&gt;
  16311. &lt;div&gt;
  16312. &lt;p&gt;Fill out and submit our easy-to-use and &lt;a href=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/dear_deidre_problem&quot;&gt;confidential form&lt;/a&gt; and the Dear Deidre team will get back to you.&lt;/p&gt;
  16313. &lt;p&gt;You can also send a private message on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/DearDeidreOfficial/?fref=ts&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;DearDeidreOfficial&lt;/a&gt; Facebook page or email us at:&lt;/p&gt;

  16315. &lt;/div&gt;
  16316. &lt;/div&gt;
  16317. &lt;/div&gt;
  16319.  
  16320.  
  16321.  
  16322. &lt;p&gt;And our sex life was very passionate &amp;#8211; especially after an argument.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16323.  
  16324.  
  16325.  
  16326. &lt;p&gt;She made me feel nobody could ever love me the way she did.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16327.  
  16328.  
  16329.  
  16330. &lt;p&gt;But eventually, when I found out she was seeing yet another man behind my back &amp;#8211; and one of my good friends at that but wasn’t even apologetic &amp;#8211; I got the strength to end the relationship.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16331.  
  16332.  
  16333.  
  16334. &lt;p&gt;After that, she cut me off entirely.&lt;/p&gt;
  16335.  
  16336.  
  16337.  
  16338. &lt;p&gt;It took me a long time to start getting over her. I haven’t had another relationship since.&lt;/p&gt;
  16339.  
  16340.  
  16341.  
  16342. &lt;p&gt;On my birthday last month, I received a beautiful card from her saying she was thinking about me and still loved me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16343.  
  16344.  
  16345.  
  16346. &lt;p&gt;As I opened it and recognised the handwriting straight away and my heart started pounding. I felt sick.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16347.  
  16348.  
  16349.  
  16350. &lt;p&gt;I haven’t been able to sleep properly since. I keep thinking about her, remembering our time together.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16351.  
  16352.  
  16353.  
  16354. &lt;p&gt;Part of me thinks getting back in touch is a bad idea, but the other part craves seeing her again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16355.  
  16356.  
  16357.  
  16358. &lt;p&gt;I know she’s in a relationship with someone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  16359.  
  16360.  
  16361.  
  16362. &lt;p&gt;What should I do?&lt;/p&gt;
  16363.

  16397.  
  16398.  
  16399.  
  16400. &lt;p&gt;You know she’s in a relationship and nothing in her behaviour suggests she’s changed.&lt;/p&gt;
  16401.  
  16402.  
  16403.  
  16404. &lt;p&gt;Sending you a loving message after two years of silence is manipulative.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16405.  
  16406.  
  16407.  
  16408. &lt;p&gt;It’s likely she’s feeling bored, or has fallen out with her boyfriend, so don&amp;#8217;t become her convenient distraction.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16409.  
  16410.  
  16411.  
  16412. &lt;p&gt;Block her on social media and your phone and throw away the card.&lt;/p&gt;
  16413.  
  16414.  
  16415.  
  16416. &lt;p&gt;Although you’ve moved on a little, you’re still dealing with the effects of being in a toxic relationship with her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16417.  
  16418.  
  16419.  
  16420. &lt;p&gt;My support pack on Building Self-Esteem and on Addictive Love will help.&lt;/p&gt;
  16421.  
  16422.  
  16423.  
  16424. &lt;p&gt;Talking to a counsellor would help you to get over this relationship and understand why you still have feelings for this woman.&lt;/p&gt;

  16461. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: We’ve been trying for a baby for six months, but my boyfriend and I still don’t live together.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16462.  
  16463.  
  16464.  
  16465. &lt;p&gt;Although I love him, he doesn’t satisfy me in bed and I sometimes fantasise about sleeping with other guys.&lt;/p&gt;
  16466.  
  16467.  
  16468.  
  16469. &lt;p&gt;I’m 28 and he’s 32. We’ve been together for two years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16470.  
  16471.  
  16472.  
  16473. &lt;p&gt;I’ve always known I want kids and he said he did too. When he agreed to start trying, I imagined we’d move in together so we could have a proper home for our family.&lt;/p&gt;
  16474.  
  16475.  
  16476.  
  16477. &lt;p&gt;But that hasn’t happened. He doesn’t even want to talk about it &amp;#8211; he always changes the subject.&lt;/p&gt;
  16478.  
  16479.  
  16480.  
  16481. &lt;p&gt;He says it will happen when the time is right. But surely if he wants a baby with me, that time is now?&lt;/p&gt;
  16482.  
  16483.  
  16484.  
  16485. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  16486. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  16487. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Get in touch with the Dear Deidre team&lt;/h3&gt;
  16488. &lt;/div&gt;
  16489. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  16491. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16492. Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors. &lt;/p&gt;
  16494. &lt;div&gt;
  16495. &lt;p&gt;Fill out and submit our easy-to-use and &lt;a href=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/dear_deidre_problem&quot;&gt;confidential form&lt;/a&gt; and the Dear Deidre team will get back to you.&lt;/p&gt;
  16496. &lt;p&gt;You can also send a private message on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/DearDeidreOfficial/?fref=ts&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;DearDeidreOfficial&lt;/a&gt; Facebook page or email us at:&lt;/p&gt;
  16497. &lt;p&gt;deardeidre@the-sun.co.uk&lt;/p&gt;
  16498. &lt;/div&gt;
  16499. &lt;/div&gt;
  16500. &lt;/div&gt;
  16502.  
  16503.  
  16504.  
  16505. &lt;p&gt;Sex with him has never been brilliant &amp;#8211; he rushes it and he doesn’t make me orgasm like past boyfriends.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16506.  
  16507.  
  16508.  
  16509. &lt;p&gt;However, it’s got worse since we’ve been attempting to get pregnant, as it feels like a chore.&lt;/p&gt;
  16510.  
  16511.  
  16512.  
  16513. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes I even wonder if I’m not getting pregnant because we’re not sexually compatible.&lt;/p&gt;
  16514.  
  16515.  
  16516.  
  16517. &lt;p&gt;I know &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/15602115/is-it-normal-to-not-want-sex/&quot;&gt;sex&lt;/a&gt; isn’t the most important part of a relationship. He’s kind, funny and intelligent, and I’m sure he’ll make a great dad. &lt;/p&gt;
  16518.  
  16519.  
  16520.  
  16521. &lt;p&gt;But lately, I’ve been checking out other guys and imagining what it would be like to have sex with them &amp;#8211; even though I’d never cheat.&lt;/p&gt;
  16522.

  16555. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;No, sex isn’t everything but it is an important part of a relationship, and if you’re unhappy now, it’s only likely to get worse after you’ve had a baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  16556.  
  16557.  
  16558.  
  16559. &lt;p&gt;You’ll either end up feeling extremely resentful or cheating.&lt;/p&gt;
  16560.  
  16561.  
  16562.  
  16563. &lt;p&gt;Once you have a child, you’ll be tied to him forever. Splitting later would have a big impact on your child.&lt;/p&gt;
  16564.  
  16565.  
  16566.  
  16567. &lt;p&gt;So perhaps you need to stop trying to conceive, and sort out your relationship first.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16568.  
  16569.  
  16570.  
  16571. &lt;p&gt;Ask him to be honest with you about why he won’t discuss moving in together. You could say you won’t try for a baby until you have your own place.&lt;/p&gt;
  16572.  
  16573.  
  16574.  
  16575. &lt;p&gt;Question his commitment to you and to a potential baby.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16576.  
  16577.  
  16578.  
  16579. &lt;p&gt;Ask yourself if he’s really the right man for you.&lt;/p&gt;
  16580.  
  16581.  
  16582.  
  16583. &lt;p&gt;As for your sex life, show and tell him what you like in bed and see if things improve.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16584.  
  16585.  
  16586.  
  16587. &lt;p&gt;Read my support pack, How To Thrill A Woman In Bed, and pass on some tips.&lt;/p&gt;

  16625. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;CLIMBING the stairs could add years to your life, according to a study.&lt;/p&gt;
  16626.  
  16627.  
  16628.  
  16629. &lt;p&gt;Taking the apples and pears instead of riding a lift or escalator counts as a mini workout.&lt;/p&gt;
  16630.  
  16631.  
  16632.  
  16633. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27566989&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/t10ndp-close-fitness-woman-athletes-836821347.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27566989&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Little bursts of exercise can add up to real health benefits, say experts (stock image)[/caption]
  16634.  
  16635.  
  16636.  
  16637. &lt;p&gt;Data from half a million 35 to 84-year-olds found stair-walkers had a 39 per cent lower risk of dying from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/25424523/heart-disease-crisis-highest-level-decade/&quot;&gt;heart disease&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16638.  
  16639.  
  16640.  
  16641. &lt;p&gt;They were also 24 per cent less likely to die young of any cause and had fewer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/stroke/&quot;&gt;strokes&lt;/a&gt; and heart attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
  16642.  
  16643.  
  16644.  
  16645. &lt;p&gt;Scientists say the extra few minutes of physical effort here and there add up to a real &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; boost.&lt;/p&gt;
  16646.  
  16647.  
  16648.  
  16649. &lt;p&gt;Study author and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs-crisis/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; medic, Dr Sophie Paddock, from the University of East Anglia, said: “If you have the choice of taking the stairs or the lift, go for the stairs as it will help your heart.&lt;/p&gt;
  16650.  
  16651.  
  16652.  
  16653. &lt;p&gt;“Even brief bursts of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fitness-and-exercise/&quot;&gt;physical activity&lt;/a&gt; have beneficial health impacts and short bouts of stair climbing should be an achievable target to integrate into daily routines.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16654.  
  16655.  
  16656.  
  16657. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Taking the stairs is &amp;#8220;overlooked&amp;#8221; as a form of exercise&lt;/h2&gt;
  16658.  
  16659.  
  16660.  
  16661. &lt;p&gt;Brits should get two-and-a-half hours of exercise every week but one in three of us do not hit the target.&lt;/p&gt;
  16662.  
  16663.  
  16664.  
  16665. &lt;p&gt;Two thirds are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/obesity/&quot;&gt;overweight&lt;/a&gt; and an estimated 7.6million people have heart disease.&lt;/p&gt;
  16666.  
  16667.  
  16668.  
  16669. &lt;p&gt;The NHS says even a brisk walk, mowing the lawn and dancing count as moderate physical activity.&lt;/p&gt;
  16670.  
  16671.  
  16672.  
  16673. &lt;p&gt;And Dr Paddock, presenting her research at the European Society of Cardiology conference said simply walking up stairs is a “practical, accessible and often overlooked” way to work out.&lt;/p&gt;
  16674.  
  16675.  
  16676.  
  16677. &lt;p&gt;Exercise protects the heart and lungs by making them stronger and better at pumping oxygen into the muscles and organs, meaning they don’t work as hard in daily life.&lt;/p&gt;
  16678.  
  16679.  
  16680.  
  16681. &lt;p&gt;Dr Paddock added: “We would encourage people to incorporate stair climbing into their day-to-day lives.&lt;/p&gt;
  16682.  
  16683.  
  16684.  
  16685. &lt;p&gt;“Take them whether you are at work, at home or elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;
  16686.  
  16687.  
  16688.  
  16689. &lt;p&gt;“Our study suggested that climbing more stairs leads to greater benefits, but this still needs to be confirmed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16690.  
  16691.

  16701. &lt;p&gt;Losing weight should be a long-term commitment to healthier living, rather than any drastic measures.&lt;/p&gt;
  16702. &lt;p&gt;The NHS tips &amp;#8211; which can be adopted slowly &amp;#8211; include:&lt;/p&gt;
  16703. &lt;ul&gt;
  16704. &lt;li&gt;Get active for 150 minutes a week – you can break this up into shorter sessions&lt;/li&gt;
  16705. &lt;li&gt;Aim to get your 5 A Day – 80g of fresh, canned or frozen fruit or vegetables count as 1 portion&lt;/li&gt;
  16706. &lt;li&gt;Aim to lose 1 to 2lbs, or 0.5 to 1kg, a week&lt;/li&gt;
  16707. &lt;li&gt;Read food labels – products with more green colour coding than amber and red are often a healthier option&lt;/li&gt;
  16708. &lt;li&gt;Swap sugary drinks for water – if you do not like the taste, add slices of lemon or lime for flavour&lt;/li&gt;
  16709. &lt;li&gt;Cut down on food that&amp;#8217;s high in sugar and fat – start by swapping sugary cereal for wholegrain alternatives&lt;/li&gt;
  16710. &lt;li&gt;Share your weight loss plan with someone you trust –&amp;nbsp;they can help motivate you when you have a bad day&lt;/li&gt;
  16711. &lt;/ul&gt;

  16734. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: My partner is so lazy and messy that I often feel like his servant.&lt;/p&gt;
  16735.  
  16736.  
  16737.  
  16738. &lt;p&gt;Although I’ve asked him repeatedly to help around the flat, he never does his bit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16739.  
  16740.  
  16741.  
  16742. &lt;p&gt;I’m 32 and he’s 28. We’ve been in a gay relationship for eight years, living together for three.&lt;/p&gt;
  16743.  
  16744.  
  16745.  
  16746. &lt;p&gt;I knew he was untidy when we first moved in together, but I thought he’d make an effort to keep our place nice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16747.  
  16748.  
  16749.  
  16750. &lt;p&gt;He does nothing at all. I do all the cleaning, washing, shopping, cooking and DIY.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16751.  
  16752.  
  16753.  
  16754. &lt;p&gt;I’ve started to feel really resentful. It’s affecting our sex life too.&lt;/p&gt;
  16755.  
  16756.  
  16757.  
  16758. &lt;p&gt;I hate coming home from work to find the living room in a state. He leaves his clothes all over the bedroom floor, and drops his wet towels in the middle of the bathroom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16759.  
  16760.  
  16761.  
  16762. &lt;p&gt;I’ve talked to him about it several times, saying how fed up I am and that, sometimes, it would be nice if he would look after me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16763.  
  16764.  
  16765.  
  16766. &lt;p&gt;He makes an effort for a couple of days, and then reverts to his old habits.&lt;/p&gt;
  16767.  
  16768.  
  16769.  
  16770. &lt;p&gt;He says he doesn’t mind the mess, so it’s my problem, not his.&lt;/p&gt;
  16771.  
  16772.  
  16773.  
  16774. &lt;p&gt;We love each other but I’m starting to think I should &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/15531197/how-to-deal-with-a-break-up/&quot;&gt;break up&lt;/a&gt; with him.&lt;/p&gt;
  16775.  
  16776.  
  16777.  
  16778. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  16779. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  16780. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Get in touch with the Dear Deidre team&lt;/h3&gt;
  16781. &lt;/div&gt;
  16782. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  16784. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16785. Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors. &lt;/p&gt;
  16787. &lt;div&gt;
  16788. &lt;p&gt;Fill out and submit our easy-to-use and &lt;a href=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/dear_deidre_problem&quot;&gt;confidential form&lt;/a&gt; and the Dear Deidre team will get back to you.&lt;/p&gt;
  16789. &lt;p&gt;You can also send a private message on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/DearDeidreOfficial/?fref=ts&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;DearDeidreOfficial&lt;/a&gt; Facebook page or email us at:&lt;/p&gt;
  16790. &lt;p&gt;deardeidre@the-sun.co.uk&lt;/p&gt;
  16791. &lt;/div&gt;
  16792. &lt;/div&gt;
  16793. &lt;/div&gt;
  16795.  
  16796.  
  16797.  
  16798. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Your frustration is understandable &amp;#8211; you’re supposed to be a partnership and he isn’t pulling his weight.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16799.  
  16800.  
  16801.  
  16802. &lt;p&gt;He needs to understand that his total lack of contribution is destroying your relationship and making you feel you’re taken for granted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16803.  
  16804.  
  16805.  
  16806. &lt;p&gt;Perhaps you should take a different tack. Explain that if he helps out, it will show you that he loves you, and you’ll feel more in the mood for sex.&lt;/p&gt;
  16807.  
  16808.  
  16809.  
  16810. &lt;p&gt;Think about couples counselling. Contact Tavistock Relationships (&lt;a href=&quot;http://tavistockrelationships.org&quot;&gt;tavistockrelationships.org&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
  16811.

  16894. &lt;p&gt;The Made of Stronger Stuff presenter recently announced that his wife Dolly Theis had given birth to a healthy baby boy, whom they named Rex Patrick Anthony van Hoogenhouck-Tulleken.&lt;/p&gt;
  16895.  
  16896.  
  16897.  
  16898. &lt;p&gt;Dr Xand is married to Doctor Dolly, who is a visiting researcher at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge and a former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/conservative-party/&quot;&gt;Conservative Party&lt;/a&gt; candidate for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/vauxhall/&quot;&gt;Vauxhall&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16899.  
  16900.  
  16901.  
  16902. &lt;p&gt;The dad of two &amp;#8211; who has a son named Julian from a previous relationship &amp;#8211; introduced his adorable newborn to his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/morning-live/&quot;&gt;Morning Live&lt;/a&gt; co-stars during today’s instalment of the beloved programme. &lt;/p&gt;
  16903.  
  16904.  
  16905.  
  16906. &lt;p&gt;As the gorgeous baby boy appeared on the screen via video call, everyone in the studio including hosts &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gethin-jones/&quot;&gt;Gethin Jones&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/janette-manrara/&quot;&gt;Janette Manrara&lt;/a&gt; and guests Matt Allwright, Dr Punam, and Briony May Williams were left in awe over the tiny tot who lay blissfully unaware of his stardom.&lt;/p&gt;
  16907.  
  16908.  
  16909.  
  16910. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on how everything was going with the new addition Dr Xand said: &amp;#8220;It is absolutely extraordinary.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16911.  
  16912.  
  16913.  
  16914. &lt;p&gt;“Dolly has been amazing. If anyone wants advice on how to be the best husband out there, my only tip is to get a good eight hours of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sleep/&quot;&gt;sleep&lt;/a&gt; every night which is sort of what I&amp;#8217;ve been doing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16915.  
  16916.  
  16917.  
  16918. &lt;p&gt;“Dolly has been up feeding and figuring everything out.&lt;/p&gt;

  17042.  
  17043.  
  17044. &lt;p&gt;Very quickly helpful cleaning hacks were being posted in the comments, and one was quite unusual.&lt;/p&gt;
  17045.  
  17046.  
  17047.  
  17048. &lt;p&gt;One person said: &amp;#8220;Wet it and Forget it spray you can buy on Amazon.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17049.

  17063.  
  17064.  
  17065. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Check out a cleaner they have called 30 seconds &amp;#8211; it works wonders.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17066.  
  17067.  
  17068.  
  17069. &lt;p&gt;While another person commented: &amp;#8220;Washing powder! Sprinkle all over it and brush it in, let the rain do the rest &amp;#8211; it comes up really bright and clean.&lt;/p&gt;
  17070.  
  17071.  
  17072.  
  17073. &lt;p&gt;This may sound unusual but it turns out that it is quite a common solution.&lt;/p&gt;

  17097. &lt;p&gt;According to gardening enthusiasts from the popular &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/gardeningonabudgetofficial/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Gardening On A Budget Official&lt;/a&gt; group on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, the common laundry essential is a good hack for cleaning patios.&lt;/p&gt;

  17101. &lt;p&gt;One member of the page explained: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve used Aldi washing powder in hot water and brushed on with a stiff broom.&lt;/p&gt;
  17102.  
  17103.  
  17104.  
  17105. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Removed months of dirt and moss,&amp;#8221; the gardening lover claimed.&lt;/p&gt;
  17106.  
  17107.  
  17108.  
  17109. &lt;p&gt;If you want to give this a go you can pick up Aldi washing powders from £3.95 for a 2kg bag.&lt;/p&gt;
  17110.  
  17111.  
  17112.  
  17113. &lt;p&gt;Another person in the group added: &amp;#8220;&amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;ve heard cheap soap powder works.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17114.  
  17115.  
  17116.  
  17117. &lt;p&gt;While a third added: &amp;#8220;Dampen, sprinkle cheap bio washing powder and wait for rain or re-wet. Didn’t need to brush mine, it just disappeared.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  17162. &lt;p&gt;There are other ways to clean your patio too, if you don&amp;#8217;t want to splash out on a pressure washer.&lt;/p&gt;
  17163.  
  17164.  
  17165.  
  17166. &lt;p&gt;Here we explain how you can clean your patio with popular cleaning product The Pink Stuff, in three easy steps.&lt;/p&gt;
  17167.  
  17168.  
  17169.  
  17170. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How to clean your patio with The Pink Stuff in 3 steps: &lt;/h2&gt;
  17171.  
  17172.  
  17173.  
  17174. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apply The Pink Stuff &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17175.  
  17176.  
  17177.  
  17178. &lt;ol&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
  17179.  
  17180.  
  17181.  
  17182. &lt;p&gt;Either scoop some of the paste out onto the slab or mix it with water according to the manufacturer’s instructions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17183.  
  17184.  
  17185.  
  17186. &lt;p&gt;Then, using a scrub brush or sponge, apply the solution to your patio slabs, making sure to cover the entire surface.&lt;/p&gt;
  17187.  
  17188.  
  17189.  
  17190. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scrub the patio slabs &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17191.  
  17192.  
  17193.  
  17194. &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
  17195.  
  17196.  
  17197.  
  17198. &lt;p&gt;Once you’ve applied the Pink Stuff, it’s time to start scrubbing your patio slabs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17199.  
  17200.  
  17201.  
  17202. &lt;p&gt;Use a stiff-bristled brush to scrub the surface of your slabs, paying extra attention to any areas with stubborn stains or grime.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17203.  
  17204.  
  17205.  
  17206. &lt;p&gt;Be sure to use firm, even pressure to get the best results.&lt;/p&gt;
  17207.  
  17208.  
  17209.  
  17210. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rinse and dry &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17211.  
  17212.  
  17213.  
  17214. &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
  17215.  
  17216.  
  17217.  
  17218. &lt;p&gt;After you’ve finished scrubbing your patio slabs with Pink Stuff, it’s time to rinse them off.&lt;/p&gt;
  17219.  
  17220.  
  17221.  
  17222. &lt;p&gt;Use a hose or bucket of water to rinse away the cleaning solution, making sure to remove all traces of Pink Stuff from the surface of your slabs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17223.  
  17224.  
  17225.  
  17226. &lt;p&gt;Finally, allow your patio slabs to air dry completely before using them again.&lt;/p&gt;
  17227.  
  17228.

  17250. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;IPHONE owners must heed a serious warning – or risk losing their passwords and credit card details to crooks.&lt;/p&gt;
  17251.  
  17252.  
  17253.  
  17254. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;e6ad985c-66ae-4b01-9c02-33cfaf5446b8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Apple&lt;/span&gt; is urging users to look out for two types of &amp;#8220;red alert&amp;#8221; that mean you&amp;#8217;re potentially in danger.&lt;/p&gt;
  17255.  
  17256.

  17259.  
  17260.  
  17261.  
  17262. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567331&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 599px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/apple-warns-every-iphone-owner-896938307.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=589&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567331&quot; width=&quot;589&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Apple&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Another more prominent warning is reserved for if you&amp;#8217;ve clicked to fill in a form on an unsafe website[/caption]
  17263.  
  17264.  
  17265.  
  17266. &lt;p&gt;It appears inside Safari, the default web browser for &lt;span id=&quot;71ee0e9e-0757-4a07-b0c9-0e3846a6937c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;iOS&lt;/span&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;https://the-sun.com/topic/iphone&quot;&gt;iPhone&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17267.  
  17268.  
  17269.  
  17270. &lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;ll show up as red text in the URL bar where a website name would normally appear.&lt;/p&gt;
  17271.  
  17272.  
  17273.  
  17274. &lt;p&gt;The warning is to flag that a website you&amp;#8217;re visiting isn&amp;#8217;t safe, as Apple details in an official security memo to users.&lt;/p&gt;
  17275.  
  17276.  
  17277.  
  17278. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Safari warns you when a website that you&amp;#8217;re visiting isn&amp;#8217;t secure,&amp;#8221; Apple explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  17279.  
  17280.  
  17281.  
  17282. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Never enter your password or credit card number on sites with this warning.&lt;/p&gt;
  17283.  
  17284.  
  17285.  
  17286. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you need to use the site, contact its owner or administrator and let them know that their site isn&amp;#8217;t secure.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17287.  
  17288.  
  17289.  
  17290. &lt;p&gt;According to Apple, there are three situations where you&amp;#8217;d see this alert:&lt;/p&gt;
  17291.  
  17292.  
  17293.  
  17294. &lt;ul&gt;
  17295. &lt;li&gt;The website is encrypted, but its certificate is expired or illegitimate&lt;/li&gt;
  17296.  
  17297.  
  17298.  
  17299. &lt;li&gt;The website&amp;#8217;s certificate is valid but the version of TLS is not secure (TLS version 1.1 or earlier)&lt;/li&gt;
  17300.  
  17301.  
  17302.  
  17303. &lt;li&gt;The website is unencrypted and asking you to enter password or credit card information&lt;/li&gt;
  17304. &lt;/ul&gt;
  17305.  
  17306.  
  17307.  
  17308. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll see the smaller warning if an unencrypted website is asking for your info.&lt;/p&gt;
  17309.  
  17310.  
  17311.  
  17312. &lt;p&gt;And if you&amp;#8217;ve clicked into the form to enter information, you&amp;#8217;ll see the more alarming warning – which fills the entire address bar and has a red exclamation mark.&lt;/p&gt;

  17341.

  17343.

  17362. Americans are bombarded with three billion spam phone calls a month. What are the figures regarding the number of victims and the amount of money lost to fraudsters &lt;/p&gt;
  17364. &lt;div&gt;
  17365. &lt;ul&gt;
  17366. &lt;li&gt;In 2022, Americans lost some $39.5 billion to phone scams, with 68.4 million US citizens affected, according to TechReport.&lt;/li&gt;
  17367. &lt;li&gt;The average phone scam victim lost $567.41 each in 2021, a major rise on the 2021 figure of $182 per victim, according to Hiya.&lt;/li&gt;
  17368. &lt;li&gt;The majority of scams happen over the phone, with fraudsters twice as likely to call compared to text in 2021, as reports the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).&lt;/li&gt;
  17369. &lt;li&gt;In 2021, the US saw a 56% increase in spam phone calls with 60% of those being robocalls.&lt;/li&gt;
  17370. &lt;li&gt;US residents experienced an average of 18 spam phone calls per month, although some experts believe the true figure may be as high as 31 per month.&lt;/li&gt;
  17371. &lt;li&gt;Many phone calls from reputable businesses may be marked wrongly as spam, but 38% of companies have no idea whether they’re being marked as “potential fraud” or not, according to Hiya.&lt;/li&gt;
  17372. &lt;li&gt;Never hand over any personal or financial information if you suspect a phone call is a scam. For instance, your bank will never ask you for such details in full over the phone. &lt;/li&gt;
  17373. &lt;li&gt;To cut down on spam phone calls and scams, sign up for the Do Not Call Registry. Telemarketers, by law, will need to check that list before they call you up.&lt;/li&gt;
  17374. &lt;li&gt;Downloading third-party apps such as Hiya, Nomorobo, or Truecaller can help filter out annoying spam calls.&lt;/li&gt;
  17375. &lt;li&gt;Try not to share your phone number unless you have to, especially online or with sketchy sources.&lt;/li&gt;
  17376. &lt;/ul&gt;
  17377. &lt;/div&gt;
  17378. &lt;/div&gt;
  17379. &lt;/div&gt;
  17381. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  17382.  
  17383.  
  17384.  
  17385. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you see “https” in a URL, the site is using a protocol that encrypts information before it’s sent from your computer to the website’s server,&amp;#8221; cybersecurity giant McAfee explains.&lt;/p&gt;
  17386.  
  17387.  
  17388.  
  17389. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This helps prevent anyone from intercepting and &lt;span id=&quot;95aa9aec-1002-4d2c-bae3-b613eff2a54e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;reading&lt;/span&gt; your sensitive information as it’s transmitted.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17390.  
  17391.  
  17392.  
  17393. &lt;p&gt;The company added: &amp;#8220;It’s important to know that not all websites are safe to visit.&lt;/p&gt;
  17394.  
  17395.  
  17396.  
  17397. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In fact, some sites may contain malicious software (malware) that can harm your computer or steal your personal contact information or credit card numbers.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17398.  
  17399.  
  17400.  
  17401. &lt;p&gt;But note: an encrypted website isn&amp;#8217;t a guarantee that your data is safe.&lt;/p&gt;
  17402.  
  17403.  
  17404.  
  17405. &lt;p&gt;There are plenty of ways that you can be scammed online, even if you think you&amp;#8217;re visiting a safe website.&lt;/p&gt;
  17406.  
  17407.  
  17408.  
  17409. &lt;p&gt;So always be wary whenever you&amp;#8217;re inputting credit card details or passwords online.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  17424. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A WOMAN who was a proud trad wife has revealed how it all fell apart.&lt;/p&gt;
  17425.  
  17426.  
  17427.  
  17428. &lt;p&gt;Enitz, was perfectly happy being a stay-at-home mum while relying on her husband to pay the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bills/&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; but her life was quickly turned upside down.&lt;/p&gt;
  17429.  
  17430.  
  17431.  
  17432. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27567011&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 586px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/ca7035d5-826e-4217-acab-2f6e6eed161a.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27567011&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;845&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Enitz was left with nothing after being a trad wife for years&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;tiktok.com/@emergingmotherhood&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  17433.  
  17434.  
  17435.  
  17436. &lt;p&gt;Taking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;, she told viewers that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/25888775/trad-wife-quit-job-cook-clean-home-husband/&quot;&gt;trad wife lifestyle &lt;/a&gt;wasn&amp;#8217;t all it was cracked up to be and warned others not to fall into it.&lt;/p&gt;
  17437.  
  17438.  
  17439.  
  17440. &lt;p&gt;The mum, who has four kids spent her days at home looking after the tots and keeping the home in tip-top condition.&lt;/p&gt;
  17441.  
  17442.  
  17443.

  17447. &lt;p&gt;The Trad Wife life didn&amp;#8217;t work out&lt;/p&gt;
  17448. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;
  17449. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Enitz&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;
  17450. &lt;/div&gt;
  17451. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  17452. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  17454.  
  17455.  
  17456.  
  17457. &lt;p&gt;But it came crashing down when her husband separated from her for a much younger woman.&lt;/p&gt;
  17458.  
  17459.  
  17460.  
  17461. &lt;p&gt;In the clip, she said: &amp;#8220;Imagine this: the Trad Wife life didn&amp;#8217;t work out.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17462.  
  17463.  
  17464.  
  17465. &lt;p&gt;She revealed that she was now facing dire times as her husband had ditched her &amp;#8211; leaving her to rely on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food-stamps/&quot;&gt;food stamps&lt;/a&gt; to feed herself and her kids.&lt;/p&gt;
  17466.  
  17467.  
  17468.  
  17469. &lt;p&gt;Not only was she waiting to be approved for government help &amp;#8211; she was also now faced with trying to find a job.&lt;/p&gt;
  17470.  
  17471.  
  17472.  
  17473. &lt;p&gt;However, it wasn&amp;#8217;t as easy as many might think as she had a ten year gap in her resume as she decided to leave &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/employment/&quot;&gt;employment&lt;/a&gt; to look after her children full-time.&lt;/p&gt;
  17474.  
  17475.  
  17476.  
  17477. &lt;p&gt;Se added: &amp;#8220;You have a 10 year gap in your resume, 4 kids that need to be taken care of while he is off living with another woman so now you&amp;#8217;re at the food stamps office trying to see when your application will be approved.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17478.  
  17479.  
  17480.  
  17481. &lt;p&gt;Despite being put in a tricky situation financially, it seems the mum was more than happy to see the back of her partner as she claimed it wasn&amp;#8217;t a happy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17482.  
  17483.  
  17484.  
  17485. &lt;p&gt;In another &lt;a aria-label=&quot;clip (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@emergingmotherhood/video/7360117292358831406&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;clip&lt;/a&gt;, she said: &amp;#8220;There is no man waiting to ruin your happiness immediately and no one on their way to ruin it either.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  17509. &lt;p&gt;The clip has since gone viral over on her TikTok account @&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@emergingmotherhood/video/7321018561722469674&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;emergingmotherhood  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;emergingmotherhood &lt;/a&gt;with over 2million views and over 270k likes.&lt;/p&gt;
  17510.  
  17511.  
  17512.  
  17513. &lt;p&gt;People were quick to take to the comments empathising with the mum and sharing their thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;
  17514.  
  17515.  
  17516.  
  17517. &lt;p&gt;One person wrote: &amp;#8220;Wishing you and your kids loads of luck.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17518.  
  17519.  
  17520.  
  17521. &lt;p&gt;Another commented: &amp;#8220;I’m going to be a Trad wife, but I will work part time when it comes. Always have a bankroll coming in for yourself, I’d say.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17522.  
  17523.  
  17524.  
  17525. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is honestly a fear. I’m praying everything gets resolved mama,&amp;#8221; penned a third.&lt;/p&gt;
  17526.  
  17527.  
  17528.  
  17529. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  17530. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  17531. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is a tradwife?&lt;/h3&gt;
  17532. &lt;/div&gt;
  17533. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  17536. &lt;div&gt;
  17537. &lt;p&gt;A tradwife (short for traditional wife) is a woman who chooses to take on an ultra traditional role in marriage, meaning she makes dinner and looks pretty whilst her husband goes to work.&lt;/p&gt;
  17538. &lt;p&gt;The trend takes inspiration from the idea of a 1950s housewife. &lt;/p&gt;
  17539. &lt;p&gt;Many tradwives choose to dress in the style of clothing popular in this period (think floral dresses and frumpy cardigans).&lt;/p&gt;
  17540. &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the values considered important to tradwvies are similar to strict Christian values.&lt;/p&gt;
  17541. &lt;p&gt;Tradwives state that they are not forced into this way of life, and believe that it is their purpose to be homemakers.&lt;/p&gt;
  17542. &lt;/div&gt;
  17543. &lt;/div&gt;
  17544. &lt;/div&gt;
  17546.  
  17547.  
  17548.  
  17549. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile a fourth said: &amp;#8220;Mothers are so strong. I&amp;#8217;m sorry he wasn’t fair to you and life is unfair right now, but you can do this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17550.  
  17551.  
  17552.  
  17553. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ve been in your exact shoes. Suddenly single with 4 kids. Hugs to you. It does get easier,” claimed a fifth.&lt;/p&gt;
  17554.  
  17555.  
  17556.  
  17557. &lt;p&gt;Someone else added: &amp;#8220;Completely understand. It’ll get better and your stronger for it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
