  96.  
  97. &lt;p&gt;If you want to be carried up and away to another reality, where animals talk, brightly dressed citizens dance in the streets and student sorcerers sing like angels, then get a ticket for this musical.&lt;/p&gt;
  98.  
  99.  
  100.  
  101. &lt;p&gt;Wicked, based on the hit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/theatre/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;stage&lt;/a&gt; show, is far too monumental to be viewed on the small screen.&lt;/p&gt;
  102.  
  103.  
  104.  
  105. &lt;p&gt;Emerald City towers magnificently, a Hogwarts-style university enchants at every turn and the final scene pulls you this way and that like a tornado.&lt;/p&gt;
  106.  
  107.  
  108.  
  109. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Comic touch&lt;/h2&gt;

  113. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ariana-grande/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ariana Grande&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/8400786/cynthia-erivo-actress-widows/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cynthia Erivo&lt;/a&gt; seem born for the roles of Glinda Upland and Elphaba Thropp respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
  114.  
  115.  
  116.  
  117. &lt;p&gt;Their stage, acting and musical CVs made them obvious choices, but it’s their emotional warmth for the characters which will keep you bewitched.&lt;/p&gt;
  118.  
  119.  
  120.  
  121. &lt;p&gt;The film tells the story of how Glinda became the young Good Witch of the North and Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West.&lt;/p&gt;
  122.  
  123.  
  124.  
  125. &lt;p&gt;The pink-obsessed and privileged Glinda is like something out of Mean Girls, but in Ariana’s hands she remains likeable when she could be annoying.&lt;/p&gt;
  126.  
  127.  
  128.  
  129. &lt;p&gt;Cynthia bristles with the daily injustice faced by Elphaba, who is shunned for being green, and the oppressed animals.&lt;/p&gt;
  130.  
  131.  
  132.  
  133. &lt;p&gt;The anger that is perfectly contrasted with Glinda’s blissful ignorance.&lt;/p&gt;
  134.  
  135.  
  136.  
  137. &lt;p&gt;If any of that sounds a bit serious, don’t worry, it is not.&lt;/p&gt;

  158.  
  159.  
  160.  
  161. &lt;p&gt;Director Jon M Chu, whose films include Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights, handles everything with a deft comic touch.&lt;/p&gt;
  162.  
  163.  
  164.  
  165. &lt;p&gt;There are plenty of knowing winks from the cast, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bridgerton/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bridgerton’s&lt;/a&gt; Jonathan Bailey excelling in this as the playboy prince Fiyero Tigelaar.&lt;/p&gt;
  166.  
  167.  
  168.  
  169. &lt;p&gt;Adding to the fun are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4718810/jeff-goldblum-thor-jurassic-park/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jeff Goldblum&lt;/a&gt; as the Wizard of Oz and Michelle Yeoh as Elphaba’s magic lecturer Madame Morrible.&lt;/p&gt;
  170.  
  171.  
  172.  
  173. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, in an effort to fulfil the heart’s desire of studio executives to make as much money from this as possible, Wicked will come in two parts.&lt;/p&gt;
  174.  
  175.  
  176.  
  177. &lt;p&gt;This first one is two hours and 40 minutes, which is about as long as the entire stage show.&lt;/p&gt;
  178.  
  179.  
  180.  
  181. &lt;p&gt;If the theatre version could fit every key scene into that time, I’m sure the film could have as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  182.  
  183.  
  184.  
  185. &lt;p&gt;Wicked ends at a satisfying point in the story, which won’t compel you to see part two next November.&lt;/p&gt;
  186.  
  187.  
  188.  
  189. &lt;p&gt;But there is little chance of audiences not wanting to come back for more.&lt;/p&gt;
  190.  
  191.  
  192.  
  193. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;GRANT ROLLINGS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  206. &lt;p&gt;SELENA GOMEZ applies for auditions without revealing it’s her.&lt;/p&gt;

  228.  
  229.  
  230.  
  231. &lt;p&gt;WITH the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/taliban/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Taliban&lt;/a&gt; not allowing many women to leave their homes in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/afghanistan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/a&gt;, this is an incredibly brave piece of film-making.&lt;/p&gt;
  232.  
  233.  
  234.  
  235. &lt;p&gt;Produced by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jennifer-lawrence/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jennifer Lawrence&lt;/a&gt;, it takes the outside world into the catastrophe facing the country since the fall of the democratically elected government in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  236.  
  237.  
  238.  
  239. &lt;p&gt;Women are banned from working, girls are excluded from education and anyone caught protesting is beaten.&lt;/p&gt;
  240.  
  241.  
  242.  
  243. &lt;p&gt;Much of this has been reported in the media over here.&lt;/p&gt;
  244.  
  245.  
  246.  
  247. &lt;p&gt;But this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/apple-tv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Apple TV+&lt;/a&gt; film by director Sahra Mani shows the everyday acts of resistance, with citizens chanting “education is our right” from their homes.&lt;/p&gt;
  248.  
  249.  
  250.  
  251. &lt;p&gt;Dentist Zahra and former government worker Sharifa provide home videos of their opposition to the religious zealots in control of their homeland.&lt;/p&gt;
  252.  
  253.  
  254.  
  255. &lt;p&gt;They smile and laugh as they go outside without men by their side in acts of defiance.&lt;/p&gt;
  256.  
  257.  
  258.  
  259. &lt;p&gt;In the background is frequent gunfire and the constant toil of growing poverty.&lt;/p&gt;
  260.  
  261.  
  262.  
  263. &lt;p&gt;Sahra fled the country before the Taliban took back control three years ago and that limited the eye-witness material she could get hold of.&lt;/p&gt;
  264.  
  265.  
  266.  
  267. &lt;p&gt;As a result, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/film/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;film&lt;/a&gt; only reveals a fraction of the horror of life for women under the Taliban.&lt;/p&gt;

  280.  
  281.  
  282.  
  283. &lt;p&gt;THIS British drama starts off like a comedy – but is as amusing as a diversity seminar.&lt;/p&gt;
  284.  
  285.  
  286.  
  287. &lt;p&gt;In the first shot Layla (Bilal Hasna) has a piece of toilet roll stuck to their high heel (old gag) which is quickly followed by an amusing dig at corporations faking right-on credentials.&lt;/p&gt;
  288.  
  289.  
  290.  
  291. &lt;p&gt;A ready-meal firm called Fork Me uses drag performer Layla to get across the message that “everyone is welcome around this table” but clearly doesn’t want the “authentic” act.&lt;/p&gt;
  292.  
  293.  
  294.  
  295. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, what had the potential to be a fish-out-of-water comedy – with Layla falling in love with the sensibly dressed gay PR guy Max (Louis Greatorex) and Max flailing among a flamboyant non-binary community – instead turns into a lecture on modern sexual politics.&lt;/p&gt;
  296.  
  297.  
  298.  
  299. &lt;p&gt;Layla’s friends are relentlessly scornful of Max, who commits the ultimate crime of forgetting to use the “they” pronoun.&lt;/p&gt;
  300.  
  301.  
  302.  
  303. &lt;p&gt;The script is one long eye-roll at every faux pas that Max makes, and there is a very cliched sub-plot about Layla hiding their love for women’s clothes from their Muslim family.&lt;/p&gt;
  304.  
  305.  
  306.  
  307. &lt;p&gt;Bilal and Louis, though, are great, lending empathy to a script that doesn’t deserve their talents.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  350. &lt;p&gt;AN ULTRA-RARE Porsche 911 has gone up on sale for a huge price with the flashy motor barely being driven in its 43-year life.&lt;/p&gt;
  351.  
  352.  
  353.  
  354. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/classic-cars/&quot;&gt;beloved car&lt;/a&gt; has been virtually untouched since it was made in 1981 with the original owner clocking just 2,400 miles before leaving it tucked away in storage.&lt;/p&gt;

  367.  
  368.  
  369.  
  370. &lt;p&gt;The black &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/porsche/&quot;&gt;Porsche &lt;/a&gt;911 Carrera 3.0 SC is listed as looking like it has come &amp;#8220;out of the box&amp;#8221; due to its pristine condition. &lt;/p&gt;
  371.  
  372.  
  373.  
  374. &lt;p&gt;The current owner purchased the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/news-motors/&quot;&gt;car &lt;/a&gt;four years ago, but rarely it and has now decided that due to his age it is time to sell the car.&lt;/p&gt;
  375.  
  376.  
  377.  
  378. &lt;p&gt;It is known as one of the most iconic sports &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cars/&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/a&gt; of the past 50 years with the first ever owner purchasing it for just £20,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  379.  
  380.  
  381.  
  382. &lt;p&gt;Over four decades later and the car is expected to fetch a massive amount more than that when it goes under the hammer.&lt;/p&gt;
  383.  
  384.  
  385.  
  386. &lt;p&gt;The three-litre 1981 model &lt;span id=&quot;f79960e9-f0c2-4562-823e-f1b3f5ad856d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;features&lt;/span&gt; more horsepower than previous variations due to its high powered body and interior modifications.&lt;/p&gt;
  387.  
  388.  
  389.  
  390. &lt;p&gt;The 911 make was introduced by Porsche in 1964, but it was soon blown away by the 1981 Super Carrera &amp;#8216;SC&amp;#8217; model which proved particularly attractive and popular to car fanatics. &lt;/p&gt;
  391.  
  392.  
  393.  
  394. &lt;p&gt;The original owner of the car drove around 2,400 miles in three years before he left it in storage.&lt;/p&gt;
  395.  
  396.  
  397.  
  398. &lt;p&gt;It was then sold four years ago to a second hopeful driver who decided against pushing it to the limit and clocked in only an extra 390 miles.&lt;/p&gt;
  399.  
  400.  
  401.  
  402. &lt;p&gt;The car is now set to be sold for a third time later this month by Humbert &amp;amp; Ellis Ltd in Daventry, Northants.&lt;/p&gt;
  403.  
  404.  
  405.  
  406. &lt;p&gt;Jonathan Humbert, auctioneer at Humbert &amp;amp; Ellis, said: &amp;#8220;To find an example of this marque with such low miles represents an incredible buying opportunity for collectors, investors and drivers alike.&lt;/p&gt;

  427.  
  428.  
  429.  
  430. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is to all intents and purposes like a new car and with these low miles it is surely the closest anyone would get to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt; such a &amp;#8216;new&amp;#8217; car from 1981 &amp;#8211; but 43 years later, here in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  431.  
  432.  
  433.  
  434. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Porsche 911s have such wide appeal &amp;#8211; and this car will be a favourite amongst favourites.&lt;/p&gt;
  435.  
  436.  
  437.  
  438. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It can only be original once &amp;#8211; and I would simply say &amp;#8211; try finding another.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  439.  
  440.  
  441.  
  442. &lt;p&gt;The auction takes place on November 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  443.  
  444.  
  445.  
  446. &lt;p&gt;It comes as a rare &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31583836/iconic-porsche-egg-yolk-yellow-auction/&quot;&gt;1990 Porsche 911 in Egg Yolk yellow&lt;/a&gt; was up for grabs a few weeks ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  447.  
  448.  
  449.  
  450. &lt;p&gt;The incredible 90s sports car in a unique finish featured a black leather interior, a 3.8-litre flat six-cylinder engine along with a six-speed manual gearbox.&lt;/p&gt;
  451.  
  452.  
  453.  
  454. &lt;p&gt;Initial predictions said the car was expected to sell for a whopping £850K at auction.&lt;/p&gt;
  455.  
  456.  
  457.  
  458. &lt;p&gt;Another super rare and iconic Porsche 911 also went up for sale last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  459.  
  460.  
  461.  
  462. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31013466/porsche-911-motor-car/&quot;&gt;1998 993-generation Carrera S&lt;/a&gt; was snapped up for over £300,000 to a lucky driver who drove away in the &amp;#8220;one-of-a-kind&amp;#8221; car.&lt;/p&gt;

  473. THE legendary sports car is 61 years old and has been a firm fan favourite among motorists for decades. &lt;/p&gt;
  475. &lt;div&gt;
  476. &lt;p&gt;A brand-new Porsche model was showcased at the 1963 Frankfurt International Motor Show which went on to be known as the first ever 911.&lt;/p&gt;
  477. &lt;p&gt;Full production of the car didn&amp;#8217;t begin until a year later in September 1964 at the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen.&lt;/p&gt;
  478. &lt;p&gt;When it was first made it was actually named the 901 but it was swiftly switched to the now iconic name just before the first one was ever sold.&lt;/p&gt;
  479. &lt;p&gt;Since then over 1.2 million of the iconic cars have been produced through eight different generations. &lt;/p&gt;
  480. &lt;p&gt;These include:&lt;/p&gt;
  481. &lt;ul&gt;
  482. &lt;li&gt;Original 911 (1963-1973)&lt;/li&gt;
  483. &lt;li&gt;G series (1974-1989)&lt;/li&gt;
  484. &lt;li&gt;964 (1988-1994)&lt;/li&gt;
  485. &lt;li&gt;993 (1993-1998)&lt;/li&gt;
  486. &lt;li&gt;996 (1997-2005)&lt;/li&gt;
  487. &lt;li&gt;997 (2004-2012)&lt;/li&gt;
  488. &lt;li&gt;991 (2011-2019)&lt;/li&gt;
  489. &lt;li&gt;992 (2018-present)&lt;/li&gt;
  490. &lt;/ul&gt;
  491. &lt;p&gt;Some of the brilliant creators behind the various models include the original F.A. Porsche, Anatole Lapine, Harm Lagaay and Michael Mauer.&lt;/p&gt;
  492. &lt;p&gt;It has always been praised as a versatile car capable of performing both on the track and on the roads.&lt;/p&gt;
  493. &lt;p&gt;The fastest Porsche 911 ever made is the 2023 911 Turbo S.&lt;/p&gt;
  494. &lt;p&gt;It features a 650PS, 3.7-litre engine and can hit 100km/h in just 2.7 seconds.&lt;/p&gt;
  495. &lt;p&gt;A top speed of 330km/h is also achievable by the bravest daredevils. &lt;/p&gt;
  496. &lt;p&gt;Some of the most famous Porsche 911 owners include David Beckham, Harry Styles, Steve McQueen, Tom Cruise and Kendall Jenner.&lt;/p&gt;
  497. &lt;/div&gt;

  570.  
  571.

  573. &lt;p&gt;Passion-wise, pretending you are fine with less security is not the right move, and a better one is close.&lt;/p&gt;

  590.  
  591.  
  592.  
  593. &lt;p&gt;You can be honest about who you are and what you want – but also be firm about how far you will go to find it.&lt;/p&gt;
  594.  
  595.  
  596.  
  597. &lt;p&gt;This creates a buffer of independence around your heart.&lt;/p&gt;
  598.  
  599.

  1045.

  1113.  
  1114.  
  1115.  
  1116. &lt;p&gt;But she&amp;#8217;s yet to reach a perfect score from the judges, despite consistently impressing with her elegant routines and powerful storytelling on the dance floor.&lt;/p&gt;
  1117.  
  1118.  
  1119.  
  1120. &lt;p&gt;Last weekend, Tasha and Aljaz Skorjanec performed a Paso Doble at Blackpool’s iconic Tower Ballroom.&lt;/p&gt;
  1121.  
  1122.  
  1123.  
  1124. &lt;p&gt;They were awarded 39 points, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/craig-revel-horwood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Craig Revel Horwood&lt;/a&gt; held back his 10 paddle.&lt;/p&gt;
  1125.  
  1126.  
  1127.  
  1128. &lt;p&gt;The TV beauty was quizzed on the “uproar online” on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two.&lt;/p&gt;
  1129.  
  1130.  
  1131.  
  1132. &lt;p&gt;Asked does she feel pressure to get a top score, the frontrunner said: &amp;#8220;I think a little bit.&lt;/p&gt;
  1133.  
  1134.  
  1135.  
  1136. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think even I want the 40. I’m trying to push for that perfect score every week.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1137.  
  1138.  
  1139.  
  1140. &lt;p&gt;The disappointed star added: &amp;#8220;It’s just there on my fingertips and it’s reaching it. It is the quarter finals now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1141.  
  1142.  
  1143.  
  1144. &lt;p&gt;Despite the pressure, she admitted to The Sun last week: “The goal for Strictly, for me, is not necessarily winning.&lt;/p&gt;
  1145.  
  1146.  
  1147.  
  1148. &lt;p&gt;“Just being in the final would be an absolute honour.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1176. &lt;p&gt;On Sunday viewers saw Wynne and Katya Jones leave the competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  1177.  
  1178.  
  1179.  
  1180. &lt;p&gt;They were up against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe.&lt;/p&gt;

  1183.  
  1184. &lt;p&gt;Fans said that the ‘right decision was made’ after their dance routine ‘mistakes’.&lt;/p&gt;
  1185.  
  1186.  
  1187.  
  1188. &lt;p&gt;Montell performed the salsa to Don’t Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston, while Wynne did a Charleston to Carmen Suite No. 1: 5. Les Toreadors by George Bizet.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  1204. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gorka Marquez &lt;/strong&gt;joined Strictly Come Dancing as a professional dancer in 2016 when he was partnered with EastEnders actress Tameka Empson. The following year he was partnered with singer Alexandra Burke. They reached the final and finished as one of the runners-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  1205. &lt;p&gt;In 2020, he was partnered with actress Maisie Smith. Again, he made it to the final and finished as a runner-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  1206. &lt;p&gt;He failed to make it third time lucky in 2022, finishing runner-up again with Helen Skelton.&lt;/p&gt;
  1207. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nadiya Bychkova&lt;/strong&gt; joined the show in 2017 with EastEnders actor Davood Ghadami. The pair reached Week 11, finishing in 6th place.&lt;/p&gt;
  1208. &lt;p&gt;Her best performance to date came in 2021 when she finished fifth with Dan Walker.&lt;/p&gt;
  1209. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neil Jones&lt;/strong&gt; has been without a celebrity partner more times than he&amp;#8217;s had one since joining in 2016.&lt;/p&gt;
  1210. &lt;p&gt;His best finish was with ex-footballer Alex Scott in 2019, finishing in fifth.&lt;/p&gt;
  1211. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Katya Jones&lt;/strong&gt; was another 2016 addition and made an instant impression with politician Ed Balls. Their Gangnam Style routine is still a favourite to this day.&lt;/p&gt;
  1212. &lt;p&gt;In 2017 she lifted the Glitterball with Joe McFadden.&lt;/p&gt;
  1213. &lt;p&gt;The following year she was at the heart of a show scandal after snogging her dance partner, the comedian Seann Walsh.&lt;/p&gt;
  1214. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Karen Hauer&lt;/strong&gt; has been an ever-present since 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
  1215. &lt;p&gt;Despite her lengthy association with the show, she&amp;#8217;s never lifted the Glitterball. The closest she came was in 2020 when she finished runner-up with Jamie Laing.&lt;/p&gt;
  1216. &lt;/div&gt;

  1258. &lt;p&gt;THE former chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation has revealed he was left &amp;#8220;gobsmacked&amp;#8221; after discovering the truth about the charity. &lt;/p&gt;
  1259.  
  1260.  
  1261.  
  1262. &lt;p&gt;Jack Gilbert says he was shocked by the &amp;#8220;self-interest&amp;#8221; shown by Captain Tom&amp;#8217;s daughter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31848543/inside-captain-toms-misleading-daughter/&quot;&gt;Hannah Ingram-Moore&lt;/a&gt; and her partner Colin in the years after the heroic British &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/army/&quot;&gt;Army&lt;/a&gt; officer&amp;#8217;s death.&lt;/p&gt;

  1275.  
  1276.  
  1277.  
  1278. &lt;p&gt;Mr Gilbert said when he first looked into the foundation he uncovered what he described as a number of questionable practices.&lt;/p&gt;
  1279.  
  1280.  
  1281.  
  1282. &lt;p&gt;It comes after Hannah, 54, and husband Colin, 67, were &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31848543/inside-captain-toms-misleading-daughter/&quot;&gt;blasted by a report&lt;/a&gt; for pocketing a fortune on the back of Tom’s inspirational &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;eeacd16d-a507-418a-9d9b-f991f7b6cf9a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;fundraising&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1283.  
  1284.  
  1285.  
  1286. &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;Charity&lt;/a&gt; Commission report found the family plunder Captain Tom&amp;#8217;s memory for their own benefit &amp;#8211; pocketing a £1.5million book advance then giving none to his charity.&lt;/p&gt;
  1287.  
  1288.  
  1289.  
  1290. &lt;p&gt;The report revealed that Ingram-Moore, blocked from paying herself a £150,000 salary as charity CEO &amp;#8211; took £85,000 and reimbursed her firm with £80,000 in costs from the foundation.&lt;/p&gt;
  1291.  
  1292.  
  1293.  
  1294. &lt;p&gt;The couple &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31863678/captain-toms-daughter-still-cashing-in/&quot;&gt;hoodwinked the public&lt;/a&gt; by promising royalties to the charity from its merchandise website.&lt;/p&gt;
  1295.  
  1296.  
  1297.  
  1298. &lt;p&gt;Mr Gilbert took over as chief executive for the Captain Tom Foundation from Mrs Ingram-Moore.&lt;/p&gt;
  1299.  
  1300.  
  1301.  
  1302. &lt;p&gt;He ran it for just five months before it was clouded in controversy with the charity commission &lt;span id=&quot;c0076cf4-8ad0-4705-8014-faf6c3ae79d4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1303.  
  1304.  
  1305.  
  1306. &lt;p&gt;The experienced charity professional has spoken out for the first time since the report came out and says he was amazed by how poorly it had been set up.&lt;/p&gt;
  1307.  
  1308.  
  1309.  
  1310. &lt;p&gt;He told BBC News: &amp;#8220;When I came in, I must admit, I was gobsmacked.&lt;/p&gt;
  1311.  
  1312.  
  1313.  
  1314. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was shocked at the number of systems that just did not accord with best practice.&lt;/p&gt;

  1336.  
  1337.  
  1338. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One of my first exercises was, of course, to get trusted charity status for the foundation, which meant going through a whole range of different hurdles.&lt;/p&gt;
  1339.  
  1340.  
  1341.  
  1342. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And the fact was that although we had done many of them, there were lots of key practices that simply were not in place.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1343.  
  1344.  
  1345.  
  1346. &lt;p&gt;One of the biggest issues was that management accounts had not been set up in the correct format for a charity, he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  1347.  
  1348.  
  1349.  
  1350. &lt;p&gt;A cancelled invoice to Virgin Media was one of the first major issues Mr Gilbert highlighted. &lt;/p&gt;
  1351.  
  1352.  
  1353.  
  1354. &lt;p&gt;In the Charity Commission report they found that Ingram-Moore was paid £18,000 for an appearance at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/virgin-media-o2/&quot;&gt;Virgin Media O2&lt;/a&gt; Captain Tom Foundation Connector Awards.&lt;/p&gt;
  1355.  
  1356.  
  1357.  
  1358. &lt;p&gt;The appearance was described as being in a personal capacity and in her own time but the commission argued this was false.&lt;/p&gt;
  1359.  
  1360.  
  1361.  
  1362. &lt;p&gt;They claimed the foundation received just £2,000 of the down payment on her appearance. &lt;/p&gt;
  1363.  
  1364.  
  1365.  
  1366. &lt;p&gt;Incredibly, the Ingram-Moore&amp;#8217;s whinged they had been treated &amp;#8220;unfairly and unjustly&amp;#8221; by the Charity Commission, accusing the watchdog of “selective storytelling”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1367.  
  1368.  
  1369.  
  1370. &lt;p&gt;Adding that there had been no misappropriation of funds from the charity at any point.&lt;/p&gt;
  1371.  
  1372.  
  1373.  
  1374. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  1375. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  1376. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;COMMENT: Captain Tom Moore would be ashamed of his daughter’s obscene greed&lt;/h3&gt;
  1377. &lt;/div&gt;
  1378. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  1380. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  1381. THE SUN SAYS... &lt;/p&gt;
  1383. &lt;div&gt;
  1384. &lt;p&gt;CAPTAIN Tom Moore led a life of unblemished selflessness.&lt;/p&gt;
  1385. &lt;p&gt;He would be ashamed of his daughter’s obscene greed.&lt;/p&gt;
  1386. &lt;p&gt;The public-spirited World War Two veteran became a national hero during Covid by raising almost £40million for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with a sponsored walk aged 99.&lt;/p&gt;
  1387. &lt;p&gt;It earned him a knighthood, the love of millions and even&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11432282/captain-tom-moores-single-number-one/&quot;&gt;a chart-topping hit.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1388. &lt;p&gt;But it was perhaps fortunate Sir Tom never lived to see Hannah Ingram-Moore and husband Colin&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/29281056/captain-tom-foundation-bank-account-hannah-ingram-moore/&quot;&gt;plunder his philanthropy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as a get-rich-quick scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
  1389. &lt;p&gt;The pair sickeningly pocketed vast sums, cashing in on his memory and giving next to nothing to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;they set up in his name, as a Charity Commission probe confirms.&lt;/p&gt;
  1390. &lt;p&gt;Hannah paid herself a lavish salary and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/29281056/captain-tom-foundation-bank-account-hannah-ingram-moore/&quot;&gt;built a spa.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1391. &lt;p&gt;What an appalling end to the most uplifting story of that bleak Covid era.&lt;/p&gt;
  1392. &lt;p&gt;If the Ingram-Moores have a shred of decency they will hand every last remaining Pound to the charity a duped public thought it was funding.&lt;/p&gt;
  1393. &lt;/div&gt;
  1394. &lt;/div&gt;
  1395. &lt;/div&gt;
  1397.  
  1398.  
  1399.  
  1400. &lt;p&gt;Mr Gilbert made it clear that if such an act had taken place then it would have been &amp;#8220;deeply unethical&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1401.  
  1402.  
  1403.  
  1404. &lt;p&gt;In general he said it felt as if there was a &amp;#8220;level of self-interest&amp;#8221; surrounding the foundation.&lt;/p&gt;
  1405.  
  1406.  
  1407.  
  1408. &lt;p&gt;Mr Gilbert soon noted a number of other discrepancies he was as suspicious before reporting them all to the board.&lt;/p&gt;
  1409.  
  1410.  
  1411.  
  1412. &lt;p&gt;He described the foundation as a &amp;#8220;lost opportunity&amp;#8221; to address the very real issue of ageism in Britain. &lt;/p&gt;
  1413.

  1419.  
  1420. &lt;p&gt;A Charity Commission report found the Ingram-Moore&amp;#8217;s plundered the war veteran Tom&amp;#8217;s memory for their own profit.&lt;/p&gt;
  1421.  
  1422.  
  1423.  
  1424. &lt;p&gt;The 30-page booklet, published on Thursday after a two-year inquiry, found the Ingram-Moores carried out repeated instances of misconduct.&lt;/p&gt;
  1425.  
  1426.  
  1427.  
  1428. &lt;p&gt;It is understood much of the funds raised were put into an illegal luxury spa in their garden using the foundation&amp;#8217;s name.&lt;/p&gt;
  1429.  
  1430.  
  1431.  
  1432. &lt;p&gt;The block was demolished earlier this year after the family lost an appeal against Central Bedfordshire Council&amp;#8217;s order for it to be torn down.&lt;/p&gt;
  1433.  
  1434.  
  1435.  
  1436. &lt;p&gt;And they gave the charity just £8,900 from a Capt Tom gin despite profits thought to be well over £100,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  1437.  
  1438.  
  1439.  
  1440. &lt;p&gt;Another huge area of contention came from a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31841858/captain-tom-moore-daughter-hannah-million-nhs/&quot;&gt;£1.5million book deal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1441.  
  1442.  
  1443.  
  1444. &lt;p&gt;Publishers Penguin reportedly agreed to pay a the hefty advance to the Ingram-Moores’ private company for Capt Tom’s memoir.&lt;/p&gt;
  1445.  
  1446.  
  1447.  
  1448. &lt;p&gt;It was done on the understanding that a contribution would be made to his charity &amp;#8211; but just £17,000 in royalties went to the charity.&lt;/p&gt;
  1449.  
  1450.  
  1451.  
  1452. &lt;p&gt;Last year, a caught out Mrs Ingram-Moore wept as she told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/piers-morgan/&quot;&gt;Piers Morgan&lt;/a&gt; she and her hubby pocketed £800,000 from book sales.&lt;/p&gt;
  1453.  
  1454.  
  1455.  
  1456. &lt;p&gt;Penguin said: “We are extremely disappointed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1457.  
  1458.  
  1459.  
  1460. &lt;p&gt;As the Captain Tom Foundation asked for the cash back “immediately and without the need for further action”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1461.  
  1462.  
  1463.  
  1464. &lt;p&gt;The watchdog&amp;#8217;s chief executive David Holdsworth said the report found &amp;#8220;repeated failures of governance and integrity&amp;#8221;, and that its inquiry had been fair, balanced and independent.&lt;/p&gt;
  1465.  
  1466.  
  1467.  
  1468. &lt;p&gt;He added said the foundation set up in Sir Tom&amp;#8217;s name &amp;#8220;has not lived up to that legacy of others before self, which is central to charity&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  1482. &lt;ul&gt;
  1483. &lt;li&gt;March 2020&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; D-Day veteran Captain Tom Moore walks 100 laps around his Bedfordshire garden before his 100th birthday, raising £30million for the NHS during the first lockdown.&lt;/li&gt;
  1484. &lt;li&gt;April 2020 &amp;#8211; Captain Tom reaches No. 1 in the charts with his cover of &amp;#8216;You&amp;#8217;ll Never Walk Alone&amp;#8217;. He receives 100,000 cards for his 100th birthday, which is marked with a Battle of Britain flypast. A train is named after him.&lt;/li&gt;
  1485. &lt;li&gt;July 2020 &amp;#8211; Captain Tom is knighted by the Queen in a special private ceremony at Windsor Castle.&lt;/li&gt;
  1486. &lt;li&gt;September 2020 &amp;#8211; Hannah Ingram-Moore launches the Captain Tom Foundation to combat loneliness.&lt;/li&gt;
  1487. &lt;li&gt;December 2020 &amp;#8211; Drones swarm into the shape of Captain Tom&amp;#8217;s face at the New Year&amp;#8217;s Eve firework display in London.&lt;/li&gt;
  1488. &lt;li&gt;February 2021 &amp;#8211; Captain Sir Tom Moore dies after catching covid-19.&lt;/li&gt;
  1489. &lt;li&gt;February 2022 &amp;#8211; The Charity Commission launches a probe into the Captain Tom foundation after it paid £50,000 to companies run by Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin.&lt;/li&gt;
  1490. &lt;li&gt;July 2023 &amp;#8211; The foundation stops accepting donations. Planning chiefs order Hannah to tear down an unauthorised spa at her Bedfordshire home. The building had been approved to be used &amp;#8220;in connection with the Captain Tom Foundation and its charitable objectives&amp;#8221;. But a larger building with a spa pool was built instead and was denied retrospective planning permission. Hannah appeals.&lt;/li&gt;
  1491. &lt;li&gt;September 2023 &amp;#8211; accounts reveal Hannah received more than £70,000 to head the foundation.&lt;/li&gt;
  1492. &lt;li&gt;October 2023 &amp;#8211; Hannah loses her appeal and is ordered to demolish the spa and restore the garden to its original condition.&lt;/li&gt;
  1493. &lt;li&gt;January 2023 &amp;#8211; Demolition work begins&lt;/li&gt;
  1494. &lt;li&gt;November 2024 &amp;#8211; Charity Commission report released&lt;/li&gt;
  1495. &lt;/ul&gt;

  1672.  
  1673. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think it&amp;#8217;s healthy to have somewhat of a personal life outside of being an athlete,&amp;#8221; said Timmy.&lt;/p&gt;
  1674.  
  1675.  
  1676.  
  1677. &lt;p&gt;But his dad exposed at tension when he said: &amp;#8220;Timmy is extremely charming and his looks are what they are, it&amp;#8217;s a distraction.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1678.  
  1679.

  1720. &lt;p&gt;MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix shows “won’t work” as they need to stop slamming the royal family, according to an expert.&lt;/p&gt;
  1721. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on The Sun’s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/royal-exclusive/&quot;&gt;Royal Exclusive&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;show, Phil Dampier spoke about the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes&amp;#8217; upcoming documentaries on polo and&amp;nbsp;cooking.&lt;/p&gt;
  1722. &lt;p&gt;The royal author claimed: “Making documentaries has never really gone well for the royals, particularly&amp;nbsp;Prince&amp;nbsp;Edward, when he started making lots of documentaries about his own family. That ended in disaster.&lt;/p&gt;
  1723. &lt;p&gt;“So Harry not to sort of fall into the same trap, he needs to rein back, and hopefully we&amp;#8217;re not going to get any more slagging off the&amp;nbsp;royal family&amp;nbsp;in his documentaries, and he moves into other things.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1724. &lt;p&gt;In September,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;announced that the Polo docuseries about the world of professional polo will premiere in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  1725. &lt;p&gt;The streaming service described the show as &amp;#8220;a new&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/documentary/&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;series that follows elite global players and offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of the sport.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1726. &lt;p&gt;Phil pointed out that it’s “fair enough” that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-harry/&quot;&gt;Prince Harry&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is trying new things but claims the reaction to the polo documentary hasn’t been all glowing.&lt;/p&gt;
  1727. &lt;p&gt;He said: “The Polo one, I don&amp;#8217;t think it&amp;#8217;s gone down that well.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1728. &lt;p&gt;The royal author added: “Everybody&amp;#8217;s apparently Netflix aren&amp;#8217;t very happy because there&amp;#8217;s hardly anything of the prince in it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1729. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile Meghan is set to star in her cooking show, on the back of her launching her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, which has reportedly finished filming but doesn’t yet have a release date.&lt;/p&gt;
  1730. &lt;p&gt;It’s her second project with Netflix after her 2022 reality docuseries, Harry &amp;amp; Meghan, which gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at their life.&lt;/p&gt;
  1731. &lt;p&gt;Phil added: “I think we&amp;#8217;re going to see her in the kitchen knocking up some of her favourite pasta dishes or something, and pouring out some of her favourite red&amp;nbsp;wine, and this, that and the other.&lt;/p&gt;
  1732. &lt;p&gt;“Let&amp;#8217;s see how she does with that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1733. &lt;p&gt;Phil continued: “Whether that [Meghan’s cooking show] will work or not, I have my doubts.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1734. &lt;p&gt;The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson pointed out: “Showing off this wonderful lifestyle you have in California, cooking and going to polo events, compared to two hard-working royals meeting survivors of domestic violence and meeting people who have who have been living on the street and that&amp;#8217;s who want to make a difference, I think the contrast is stark.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1735. &lt;p&gt;Phil agreed: “The contrast is they’re coming across as they&amp;#8217;re trying to make&amp;nbsp;money&amp;nbsp;out of it and instead of doing good deeds, but that&amp;#8217;s where we are, isn&amp;#8217;t it unfortunately.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1736. &lt;/div&gt;
  1737. &lt;/div&gt;
  1738. &lt;/div&gt;
  1740.  
  1741.  
  1742.  
  1743. &lt;p&gt;The Harry &amp;amp; Meghan documentary aired on Netflix in December 2022 to mixed reviews.&lt;/p&gt;
  1744.  
  1745.  
  1746.  
  1747. &lt;p&gt;While some fans enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at their lives, many took issue with their criticism of the royal family.&lt;/p&gt;
  1748.  
  1749.  
  1750.  
  1751. &lt;p&gt;The docuseries was Netflix&amp;#8217;s most-watched show in the UK in 2022 but currently has a 43 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes&lt;/p&gt;
  1752.  
  1753.  
  1754.  
  1755. &lt;p&gt;Fans appear to be divided over the Polo trailer ahead of the show&amp;#8217;s release next month.&lt;/p&gt;
  1756.  
  1757.  
  1758.  
  1759. &lt;p&gt;One penned: &amp;#8220;Never thought I&amp;#8217;d be excited to see a polo documentary.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1760.  
  1761.  
  1762.  
  1763. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve never had interest in polo until now, I&amp;#8217;ll try every effort to watch this,&amp;#8221; wrote another.&lt;/p&gt;
  1764.  
  1765.  
  1766.  
  1767. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m so excited,&amp;#8221; shared a third.&lt;/p&gt;
  1768.  
  1769.  
  1770.  
  1771. &lt;p&gt;But someone else added: &amp;#8220;I made it though 40 seconds of the trailer and got bored. No thanks.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1772.  
  1773.  
  1774.  
  1775. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hard pass! Anything with the word Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is immediately tossed int the trash compactor!&amp;#8221;, agrees a second.&lt;/p&gt;
  1776.  
  1777.  
  1778.  
  1779. &lt;p&gt;Another said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s cheap reality rubbish that no one cares about, especially when people are facing such hardships.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1780.  
  1781.  
  1782.  
  1783. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Was the flash of cars designed to let the viewers know just how rich everyone is? I mean, it&amp;#8217;s not car polo is it?,&amp;#8221; agreed someone.&lt;/p&gt;
  1784.  
  1785.  
  1786.  
  1787. &lt;p&gt;This comes as Prince Harry has also released a promo for his Invictus Games this week as he arrived in Vancouver, Canada on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
  1788.  
  1789.  
  1790.  
  1791. &lt;p&gt;The duke appeared to let a famous American rapper &amp;#8216;tattoo&amp;#8217; his neck in the jaw-dropping video.&lt;/p&gt;
  1792.  
  1793.  
  1794.

  1796.  
  1797.  
  1798.  
  1799. &lt;p&gt;The pair performed the entertaining skit to promote Harry&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/invictus-games/&quot;&gt;Invictus Games&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at East Side Ink, in New York City.&lt;/p&gt;
  1800.  
  1801.  
  1802.  
  1803. &lt;p&gt;The dad-of-two got a fake tattoo which read &amp;#8220;I am Jelly Roll&amp;#8221; on the side of his neck for the hilarious promo.&lt;/p&gt;
  1804.  
  1805.  
  1806.  
  1807. &lt;p&gt;It was posted on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot;&gt;X&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;by the Invictus Games&amp;#8217; official platform, with the caption: &amp;#8220;The most&amp;#8230; inking of a deal in Invictus Games history.&lt;/p&gt;

  1819. &lt;p&gt;It comes after Harry made his second appearance in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/vancouver/&quot;&gt;Vancouver&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;on Monday as the dad-of-two launched the Invictus Games school programme.&lt;/p&gt;

  1829. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  1830. HARRY and Meghan have begun investing their Netflix millions in a property portfolio. &lt;/p&gt;
  1832. &lt;div&gt;
  1833. &lt;p&gt;They have &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/31387714/meghan-markle-prince-harry-portugal-home-shrewd-move/&quot;&gt;bought a new home&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/portugal/&quot;&gt;Portugal&lt;/a&gt;, around the corner from Harry’s cousin &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/princess-eugenie/&quot;&gt;Princess Eugenie&lt;/a&gt; and her husband.&lt;/p&gt;
  1834. &lt;p&gt;But the Sussexes, who have been spending an increasing amount of time apart, do not plan to live in their new pad, The Sun understands.&lt;/p&gt;
  1835. &lt;p&gt;It is not known if the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/31459149/harry-and-meghan-airbnb-property-portfolio/&quot;&gt;property will be rented out&lt;/a&gt;, used for Airbnb-style holiday lets or used purely to park &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1836. &lt;p&gt;But it is seen as the first step of putting earnings from their TV and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21116008/prince-harry-scored-advance-for-spare-book/&quot;&gt;book deals&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;into a global property empire.&lt;/p&gt;
  1837. &lt;p&gt;“They’re being smart with their money,” a source said.&lt;/p&gt;
  1838. &lt;p&gt;They pocketed £75million from streaming giant&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;where they laid into fellow royals in a six-part series.&lt;/p&gt;
  1839. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-harry/&quot;&gt;Harry&lt;/a&gt;, who&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21116008/prince-harry-scored-advance-for-spare-book/&quot;&gt;got a £15million advance&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for his autobiography Spare, also inherited £8million from the late Queen Mother after turning 40 in September.&lt;/p&gt;
  1840. &lt;p&gt;Palace insiders have been concerned about what will happen when&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/meghan-markle/&quot;&gt;the Sussexes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;run out of cash.&lt;/p&gt;
  1841. &lt;p&gt;They have huge overheads, forking out a fortune on security in the US and for when Harry visits the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  1842. &lt;p&gt;And they are still paying a mortgage on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/30337413/prince-harry-meghan-markle-tax-bill-montecito/&quot;&gt;£11million Montecito mansion&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;they bought after quitting as working royals in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  1843. &lt;p&gt;Insiders say the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/portugal/&quot;&gt;Portugal&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;home will be part of a financial portfolio which will include more real estate.&lt;/p&gt;
  1844. &lt;/div&gt;
  1845. &lt;/div&gt;
  1846. &lt;/div&gt;
  1848.  
  1849.  
  1850.  
  1851. &lt;p&gt;He was seen beaming with pride at a game of sitting volleyball.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1852.  
  1853.  
  1854.  
  1855. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, on Sunday, the duke gave a thumbs up to Canadian football fans as he made another public appearance without his wife&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/meghan-markle/&quot;&gt;Meghan Markle.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1856.  
  1857.  
  1858.  
  1859. &lt;p&gt;Some commentators see this as the prince doing a &amp;#8220;full relaunch&amp;#8221; of his charity work – and lately his wife&amp;nbsp;Meghan&amp;nbsp;is nowhere to be seen in public with him.&lt;/p&gt;
  1860.  
  1861.  
  1862.  
  1863. &lt;p&gt;Sources in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/california/&quot;&gt;California&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;say the new &amp;#8220;solo Harry&amp;#8221; is his own idea.&lt;/p&gt;
  1864.  
  1865.  
  1866.  
  1867. &lt;p&gt;Royal biographer Hugo Vickers, 72, told The Sun&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/31794629/prince-harry-happier-solo-trips-meghan/&quot;&gt;how much happier he seems.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1868.  
  1869.  
  1870.  
  1871. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve seen Prince Harry make several appearances without Meghan recently.&lt;/p&gt;
  1872.  
  1873.  
  1874.  
  1875. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Of course it&amp;#8217;s what he does terribly well when he&amp;#8217;s doing things with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt;, invictus games and sport.&lt;/p&gt;
  1876.  
  1877.  
  1878.  
  1879. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s much better at that frankly than when he&amp;#8217;s sort of talking what I might call California speak, which seems to have been dictated to him by Meghan.&lt;/p&gt;
  1880.  
  1881.  
  1882.  
  1883. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I commend every time he appears, I must say, and I&amp;#8217;m sure he&amp;#8217;s very popular.&lt;/p&gt;
  1884.  
  1885.  
  1886.  
  1887. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a good thing that he does it so whether he&amp;#8217;s sort of forging you know some sort of return to the old Harry.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1888.

  2069.  
  2070. &lt;p&gt;“It’s hard because I developed this mindset a couple of years ago, if I don’t want to do something, I’m not going to do it, aka exercise because I feel like when I used to exercise a lot, I felt like I had to exercise.&lt;/p&gt;
  2071.

  2104. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity/&quot;&gt;Celebrity&lt;/a&gt; PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: “I believe &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/molly-mae-hague/&quot;&gt;Molly-Mae Hague&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2105. &lt;p&gt;“It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2106. &lt;p&gt;Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2107. &lt;p&gt;“She’s becoming more down to &lt;span id=&quot;87b8949a-8461-4731-a0e1-fb987ce38469&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;earth&lt;/span&gt; and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.”  &lt;/p&gt;
  2108. &lt;p&gt;According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae’s chic new look could be “highly lucrative” for the star.&lt;/p&gt;
  2109. &lt;p&gt;Ed told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae Hague&amp;#8217;s transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2110. &lt;p&gt;“This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.&lt;/p&gt;
  2111. &lt;p&gt;“It&amp;#8217;s possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2112. &lt;p&gt;“Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships. &lt;/p&gt;
  2113. &lt;p&gt;“By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/luxury/&quot;&gt;luxury&lt;/a&gt; brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2114. &lt;p&gt;“Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2115. &lt;p&gt;Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: “She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; from brands looking to align with her.” &lt;/p&gt;
  2116. &lt;p&gt;Ed also noted that Molly-Mae’s transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.&lt;/p&gt;
  2117. &lt;p&gt;He continued: “Molly-Mae&amp;#8217;s transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2118. &lt;p&gt;“The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.&lt;/p&gt;
  2119. &lt;p&gt;“By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2120. &lt;p&gt;“This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2121. &lt;p&gt;Nick agreed and claimed: “Shedding &lt;span id=&quot;de315743-0107-44c5-a65d-66c9baab87a0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the flash&lt;/span&gt; looks she previously went for, she&amp;#8217;s also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that’s not flashy but totally on trend.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2122. &lt;p&gt;“Gone are the &amp;#8216;look at me&amp;#8217; posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2123. &lt;/div&gt;
  2124. &lt;/div&gt;

  2150.  
  2151.  
  2152.  
  2153.  
  2154.  
  2155.  
  2156.  
  2157.  
  2158.  
  2159. &lt;p&gt;WE used to be a house building country. A nation that took pride in building homes for families, with the skilled workforce to see that through.&lt;/p&gt;
  2160.  
  2161.  
  2162.  
  2163. &lt;p&gt;In 1968 we built more than 350,000 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes/&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2164.  
  2165.  
  2166.  
  2167. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867726&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/2024/11/sun-sunday-build-builder-better-810237546.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a builder better britain logo with bricks and a trowel&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867726&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The Sun&amp;#8217;s Builder Better Britain campaign is bang on, says Bridget Phillipson&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  2168.  
  2169.  
  2170.  
  2171. &lt;p&gt;But by 2023 that had fallen by a third.&lt;/p&gt;
  2172.  
  2173.  
  2174.  
  2175. &lt;p&gt;We’ve become a country where growing more builders, more brickies, more chippies, just hasn’t been a priority. A country where trades just haven’t been taken seriously.&lt;/p&gt;
  2176.  
  2177.  
  2178.  
  2179. &lt;p&gt;And the cost has been massive. Every house not built is a home not lived in, a family’s dream not realised. &lt;/p&gt;
  2180.  
  2181.  
  2182.  
  2183. &lt;p&gt;And too many families have been forced to give up on that dream of buying a good home.&lt;/p&gt;
  2184.  
  2185.  
  2186.  
  2187. &lt;p&gt;Being able to afford a decent home, somewhere to raise a family and build a life, shouldn&amp;#8217;t just be a dream.&lt;/p&gt;
  2188.  
  2189.  
  2190.  
  2191. &lt;p&gt;I know, as Sun readers know, it should be a right.&lt;/p&gt;
  2192.  
  2193.  
  2194.  
  2195. &lt;p&gt;So this new government will &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31867308/new-brickies-trained-build-homes-funding/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;get Britain building again, delivering 1.5 million new homes for families&lt;/a&gt;, in every corner of the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  2196.  
  2197.  
  2198.  
  2199. &lt;p&gt;But if we are going to do this, we need to take skills seriously again.&lt;/p&gt;
  2200.  
  2201.  
  2202.  
  2203. &lt;p&gt;We’ve forgotten the value of skilled trades to &lt;span id=&quot;3c0b89d8-2896-45a7-b0c7-8b17eb16e5cf&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;this country&lt;/span&gt;. We’ve ignored technical training. We’ve looked down on apprenticeships.&lt;/p&gt;
  2204.  
  2205.  
  2206.  
  2207. &lt;p&gt;The last government need to look in the mirror. Again and again, I warned them that the number of youngsters starting apprenticeships was dropping, and what was their response? A shrug of the shoulders.&lt;/p&gt;
  2208.

  2226. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  2228.  
  2229.  
  2230.  
  2231. &lt;p&gt;Now we’re all paying the price – missing the skilled workforce to build the new homes this country desperately needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  2232.  
  2233.  
  2234.  
  2235. &lt;p&gt;But that changes now. A homebuilding revolution calls for a skills revolution.&lt;/p&gt;
  2236.  
  2237.  
  2238.  
  2239. &lt;p&gt;So we are partnering with FE colleges and industry to create 32 new Homebuilding Skills Hubs and deliver fast-track construction apprenticeships across &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; to get &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/building-and-construction/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;construction &lt;/a&gt;moving as quickly as we can: there’s no time to waste.&lt;/p&gt;
  2240.  
  2241.  
  2242.  
  2243. &lt;p&gt;A new army of apprentices will help build homes and turbocharge the government’s growth mission – backed by £140m of industry investment.&lt;/p&gt;
  2244.  
  2245.  
  2246.  
  2247. &lt;p&gt;Our new skills hubs will deliver special fast-track apprenticeships in just over a year, half the time of a traditional construction apprenticeship. &lt;/p&gt;
  2248.  
  2249.  
  2250.  
  2251. &lt;p&gt;The Construction Industry Training Board and the National House-Building Council will make sure these new builders are up to scratch.&lt;/p&gt;
  2252.  
  2253.  
  2254.  
  2255. &lt;p&gt;More than 5,000 new construction apprenticeship places will be made available, delivering growth for our economy and good &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt; for our young people.&lt;/p&gt;
  2256.  
  2257.  
  2258.  
  2259. &lt;p&gt;And good jobs mean good pay – so we’re boosting apprentice wages from &lt;span id=&quot;b0c85f94-6677-452a-91d4-31a2d833872e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; year. An 18-year-old construction apprentice will see their minimum hourly pay increase by 18%.&lt;/p&gt;
  2260.  
  2261.  
  2262.  
  2263. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  2269. &lt;/div&gt;
  2270. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2271. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  2273.  
  2274.  
  2275.  
  2276. &lt;p&gt;Working hand in hand with a new body we’ve set up, Skills England, we’ll pinpoint local skills gaps, moving support to where it’s needed most. &lt;/p&gt;
  2277.  
  2278.  
  2279.  
  2280. &lt;p&gt;That’s how we make sure we have the right skills to build the right homes in the right places.&lt;/p&gt;
  2281.  
  2282.  
  2283.  
  2284. &lt;p&gt;But we won’t just be building homes. We’ll be building better futures for our young people. Building a better Britain. The Sun gets it – their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21910130/builder-better-britain-campaign-trade-work-students-earning/#:~:text=The%20Sun%20on%20Sunday's%20Builder,he%20must%20go%20to%20university.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Builder Better Britain&lt;/a&gt; campaign is bang on.&lt;/p&gt;
  2285.  
  2286.  
  2287.  
  2288. &lt;p&gt;But to build that better &lt;span id=&quot;95c04732-f6fb-4e24-96a9-91a7b1e32a66&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;, first we’ve got to look back and learn from our mistakes. &lt;/p&gt;
  2289.  
  2290.  
  2291.  
  2292. &lt;p&gt;Because there was a time in our past when this country properly valued skills, when skilled workers got the respect they deserve, when building homes was a national priority, not an afterthought.&lt;/p&gt;
  2293.  
  2294.  
  2295.  
  2296. &lt;p&gt;I believe we can get back to the golden age of homebuilding. That’s why we’re backing our young people with thousands more apprenticeships. &lt;/p&gt;
  2297.  
  2298.  
  2299.  
  2300. &lt;p&gt;To get Britain building again, to get Britain growing again, and to deliver the good homes that every family deserves.&lt;/p&gt;
  2301.  
  2302.  
  2303.

  2342.  
  2343.  
  2344.  
  2345. &lt;p&gt;The “army of apprentices” will help to deliver the ­Government’s aim of developing 1.5million new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homes/&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/a&gt; by the end of this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parliament/&quot;&gt;parliament&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2346.  
  2347.  
  2348.  
  2349. &lt;p&gt;A new scheme will see the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/department-for-education/&quot;&gt;Department for Education&lt;/a&gt; partner with further education colleges and industry to create 32 new Homebuilding Skills Hubs, which will serve as fast-track training grounds for apprentices.&lt;/p&gt;
  2350.  
  2351.  
  2352.  
  2353. &lt;p&gt;Brickies-to-be will be able to complete skilled construction courses within 12 to 18 months — half that of traditional programs.&lt;/p&gt;
  2354.  
  2355.  
  2356.  
  2357. &lt;p&gt;Education Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bridget-phillipson/&quot;&gt;Bridget Phillipson&lt;/a&gt; hailed our “bang on” campaign to train home-grown builders rather than rely on cheap migrant labour.&lt;/p&gt;
  2358.  
  2359.  
  2360.  
  2361. &lt;p&gt;She warned Britain had not been prioritising apprenticeships.&lt;/p&gt;
  2362.  
  2363.  
  2364.  
  2365. &lt;p&gt;And she blasted out-of-touch Whitehall decision makers for having “forgotten the value of skilled trades” and “looked down on apprentices”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2366.  
  2367.  
  2368.  
  2369. &lt;p&gt;Writing in The Sun she said: “We won’t just be building houses. We’ll be building better futures for our young people.&lt;/p&gt;
  2370.  
  2371.  
  2372.  
  2373. &lt;p&gt;“The Sun gets it — their Builder Better Britain campaign is bang on. I believe we can get back to the golden age of housebuilding.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2374.  
  2375.  
  2376.  
  2377. &lt;p&gt;In 1968, apprentices helped build more than 350,000 homes. But now an “archaic” planning system has helped send new home numbers plummeting.&lt;/p&gt;
  2378.  
  2379.  
  2380.  
  2381. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_23559677&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/sun-sunday-build-builder-better-810237546.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a builder better britain logo with bricks and a trowel&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-23559677&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; &lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;In a win for The Sun’s Builder Better Britain campaign, 5,300 additional youngsters will be offered jobs across the industry[/caption]

  2408. &lt;/div&gt;
  2409. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  2412. &lt;div&gt;
  2413. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bridget-phillipson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bridget Phillipson&lt;/a&gt;, Education Secretary&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2414. &lt;p&gt;WE used to be a house building country. A nation that took pride in building homes for families, with the skilled workforce to see that through.&lt;/p&gt;
  2415. &lt;p&gt;In 1968 we built more than 350,000 homes in England.&lt;/p&gt;
  2416. &lt;p&gt;But by 2023 that had fallen by a third.&lt;/p&gt;
  2417. &lt;p&gt;We’ve become a country where growing more builders, more brickies, more chippies, just hasn’t been a priority. A country where trades just haven’t been taken seriously.&lt;/p&gt;
  2418. &lt;p&gt;And the cost has been massive. Every house not built is a home not lived in, a family’s dream not realised. And too many families have been forced to give up on that dream of buying a good home.&lt;/p&gt;
  2419. &lt;p&gt;Being able to afford a decent home, somewhere to raise a family and build a life, shouldn&amp;#8217;t just be a dream.&lt;/p&gt;
  2420. &lt;p&gt;I know, as Sun readers know, it should be a right.&lt;/p&gt;
  2421. &lt;p&gt;So this new government will get Britain building again, delivering 1.5 million new homes for families, in every corner of the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  2422. &lt;p&gt;But if we are going to do this, we need to take skills seriously again.&lt;/p&gt;
  2423. &lt;p&gt;We’ve forgotten the value of skilled trades to this country. We’ve ignored technical training. We’ve looked down on apprenticeships.&lt;/p&gt;
  2424. &lt;p&gt;The last government need to look in the mirror. Again and again, I warned them that the number of youngsters starting apprenticeships was dropping, and what was their response? A shrug of the shoulders.&lt;/p&gt;
  2425. &lt;p&gt;Now we’re all paying the price – missing the skilled workforce to build the new homes this country desperately needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  2426. &lt;p&gt;But that changes now. A homebuilding revolution calls for a skills revolution.&lt;/p&gt;
  2427. &lt;p&gt;So we are partnering with FE colleges and industry to create 32 new Homebuilding Skills Hubs and deliver fast-track construction apprenticeships across England to get construction moving as quickly as we can: there’s no time to waste.&lt;/p&gt;
  2428. &lt;p&gt;A new army of apprentices will help build homes and turbocharge the government’s growth mission – backed by £140m of industry investment.&lt;/p&gt;
  2429. &lt;p&gt;Our new skills hubs will deliver special fast-track apprenticeships in just over a year, half the time of a traditional construction apprenticeship. The Construction Industry Training Board and the National House-Building Council will make sure these new builders are up to scratch.&lt;/p&gt;
  2430. &lt;p&gt;More than 5,000 new construction apprenticeship places will be made available, delivering growth for our economy and good jobs for our young people.&lt;/p&gt;
  2431. &lt;p&gt;And good jobs mean good pay – so we’re boosting apprentice wages from next year. An 18-year-old construction apprentice will see their minimum hourly pay increase by 18%.&lt;/p&gt;
  2432. &lt;p&gt;Working hand in hand with a new body we’ve set up, Skills England, we’ll pinpoint local skills gaps, moving support to where it’s needed most. That’s how we make sure we have the right skills to build the right homes in the right places.&lt;/p&gt;
  2433. &lt;p&gt;But we won’t just be building homes. We’ll be building better futures for our young people. Building a better Britain. The Sun gets it – their Builder Better Britain campaign is bang on.&lt;/p&gt;
  2434. &lt;p&gt;But to build that better future, first we’ve got to look back and learn from our mistakes. Because there was a time in our past when this country properly valued skills, when skilled workers got the respect they deserve, when building homes was a national priority, not an afterthought.&lt;/p&gt;
  2435. &lt;p&gt;I believe we can get back to the golden age of homebuilding. That’s why we’re backing our young people with thousands more apprenticeships. To get Britain building again, to get Britain growing again, and to deliver the good homes that every family deserves.&lt;/p&gt;
  2436. &lt;/div&gt;
  2437. &lt;/div&gt;

  2485. &lt;p&gt;THE nation&amp;#8217;s favourite Christmas films have just been revealed, as a new survey dug into the festive viewing habits of families across the country. &lt;/p&gt;
  2486.  
  2487.  
  2488.  
  2489. &lt;p&gt;Many viewers tune into the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/channel-4/&quot;&gt;Channel 4&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/channel-5/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Channel 5&lt;/a&gt; to watch the highly-anticipated schedules. &lt;/p&gt;

  2502.  
  2503.  
  2504.  
  2505. &lt;p&gt;However, it seems that many love to watch a festive-themed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/film/&quot;&gt;film&lt;/a&gt; as the year draws to a close.&lt;/p&gt;
  2506.  
  2507.  
  2508.  
  2509. &lt;p&gt;A new survey suggested that three in 10 adults believe it is perfectly acceptable to start watching &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; films by 25 November. &lt;/p&gt;
  2510.  
  2511.  
  2512.  
  2513. &lt;p&gt;Some even watch their favourite rom-coms all year-round in their &lt;span id=&quot;673aaeac-0099-423e-ae32-d3b4455bf849&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2514.  
  2515.  
  2516.  
  2517. &lt;p&gt;A poll of 2,000 people who celebrate Christmas found that 77 per cent of people think that festive flicks are not just for December.&lt;/p&gt;
  2518.  
  2519.  
  2520.  
  2521. &lt;p&gt;Almost one in four (24 per cent) said that watching Christmas films was their favourite holiday tradition. &lt;/p&gt;
  2522.  
  2523.  
  2524.  
  2525. &lt;p&gt;32 per cent of those asked admitted that it’s the ultimate way to feel festive, as well as emotions such as happiness (46 per cent) or nostalgia (45 per cent).&lt;/p&gt;
  2526.  
  2527.  
  2528.  
  2529. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/31568322/home-alone-macaulay-culkin-disney-hoax-explained/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Home Alone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/16837612/love-actually-stars-now-christmas-film/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Love Actually&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/25009457/charles-dickens-christmas-carol-malton-yorkshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;A Christmas Carol&lt;/a&gt; all made it high up the list of the 10 best family festive movies ever made.&lt;/p&gt;
  2530.  
  2531.  
  2532.  
  2533. &lt;p&gt;The research was commissioned by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disney-plus/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Disney+&lt;/a&gt; as part of the launch of the new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30451654/home-alone-star-macaulay-culkin-return-franchise/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Home Alone Experience&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  2534.  
  2535.  
  2536.  
  2537. &lt;p&gt;Fans of the beloved film franchise can now experience three rooms that were directly inspired by the infamous McCallister household.&lt;/p&gt;
  2538.  
  2539.  
  2540.

  2565. &lt;p&gt;Nearly half (46 per cent) of the poll respondents were able to quote scenes from their favourite Christmas movie verbatim. &lt;/p&gt;
  2566.  
  2567.  
  2568.  
  2569. &lt;p&gt;The survey also found other festive traditions that the UK likes to embrace every year and Secret Santa gifts are at the top of the list.&lt;/p&gt;

  2574.

  2713.  
  2714.  
  2715.  
  2716. &lt;p&gt;Looked a different horse on debut for Robert Walford at Newbury earlier this month. He travelled like a Rolls-Royce before powering home to score by ten lengths. A 7lb walk up the weights won’t be enough to stop him if he’s in similar form.&lt;/p&gt;

  2725.  
  2726.  
  2727.  
  2728. &lt;p&gt;Is bred to be a champion as a half-sister to superstar Epatante. She jumped nicely on her Taunton debut and Nicky Henderson has won the past three runnings of this decent contest.&lt;/p&gt;

  2737.  
  2738.  
  2739.  
  2740. &lt;p&gt;Has improved in winning both his handicap hurdle starts. He had a bit left when scoring around here latest and the booking of Harry Cobden is an eyecatcher.&lt;/p&gt;

  2748. &lt;p&gt;JUST OVER LAND (1.05 Chepstow) &lt;/p&gt;
  2749.  
  2750.  
  2751.  
  2752. &lt;p&gt;Is consistent and came back from six months off to finish a close second on chase debut at Ffos Las. The third home has scored since so the form looks solid enough.&lt;/p&gt;

  2877.  
  2878.  
  2879.  
  2880. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bono/&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt;, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr wanted to recapture the free-wheeling, rabble-rousing spirit of their early days.&lt;/p&gt;
  2881.  
  2882.  
  2883.  
  2884. &lt;p&gt;This process began with their tenth studio album, All That You Can’t Leave Behind, released in 2000 and best remembered for euphoric lead single Beautiful Day.&lt;/p&gt;
  2885.  
  2886.  
  2887.  
  2888. &lt;p&gt;For album No11, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, they were looking to take things a stage further — to strip their music back and to rock out.&lt;/p&gt;
  2889.  
  2890.  
  2891.  
  2892. &lt;p&gt;“We were hitting our forties,” bassist Clayton says today, before adding with a knowing smile, “which is still a very vibrant, masculine moment!&lt;/p&gt;
  2893.  
  2894.  
  2895.  
  2896. &lt;p&gt;“As a band at the peak of its powers, playing well together, our aim was to go into a room and command that room with just a few primary colours.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2897.  
  2898.  
  2899.  
  2900. &lt;p&gt;To get in the mood, singer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bono/&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt; listened to unvarnished, guitar-driven records by the bands who had inspired him in the first place — The Who, The Clash and Buzzcocks.&lt;/p&gt;
  2901.  
  2902.  
  2903.  
  2904. &lt;p&gt;When it came to recording, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/u2/&quot;&gt;U2&lt;/a&gt; turned to producer Chris Thomas, the man who had added fuel to the fire of punk’s most iconic album, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sex-pistols/&quot;&gt;Sex Pistols&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2905.  
  2906.  
  2907.  
  2908. &lt;p&gt;On paper, Thomas seemed like the perfect choice but, as you probably know, this is a band that “moves in mysterious ways”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2909.

  2940. &lt;p&gt;If Lillywhite gets most of the production credits, Thomas is also recognised, as are other U2 associates Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Jacknife Lee.&lt;/p&gt;
  2941.  
  2942.  
  2943.  
  2944. &lt;p&gt;The finished article contains what Clayton calls “four very strong songs — Vertigo, City Of Blinding Lights, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own and All Because Of You”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2945.  
  2946.  
  2947.  
  2948. &lt;p&gt;Twenty years on, we also have a worthy companion album, How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb, ten discarded tracks from the sessions finally brought kicking and screaming into the light.&lt;/p&gt;
  2949.  
  2950.  
  2951.  
  2952. &lt;p&gt;It includes Luckiest Man In The World, originally known as Mercy but given new lyrics and melody by Bono, and regarded by Clayton as “a great song”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2953.  
  2954.  
  2955.  
  2956. &lt;p&gt;“I have a feeling that one will be in our live set,” he says. “It didn’t fit with what we were trying to do at the time, but I’m so glad it’s out there now.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2957.  
  2958.  
  2959.  
  2960. &lt;p&gt;We also have the thrilling punk blast of Country Mile and three other previously unheard songs, Happiness, Evidence Of Life and Treason.&lt;/p&gt;
  2961.  
  2962.  
  2963.  
  2964. &lt;p&gt;The newly remastered out-take Picture Of You (X+W) bears the telling lines: “I’m going nowhere, where I am, it is a lot of fun/There in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2965.  
  2966.  
  2967.  
  2968. &lt;p&gt;Clayton returns to the story of the sessions: “Chris Thomas cut his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/teeth/&quot;&gt;teeth&lt;/a&gt; engineering &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-beatles/&quot;&gt;The Beatles&lt;/a&gt;, made the legendary Never Mind The Bollocks and did some wonderful records with Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders.&lt;/p&gt;
  2969.  
  2970.  
  2971.  
  2972. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘Various reprobates would gather’&lt;/h2&gt;
  2973.  
  2974.  
  2975.  
  2976. &lt;p&gt;“By the time we got to know him, he’d also done a lot of good records with INXS, so he straddled different eras.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2977.  
  2978.  
  2979.  
  2980. &lt;p&gt;U2 had been friends with mercurial INXS singer Michael Hutchence right up until the Aussie’s untimely death in 1997.&lt;/p&gt;
  2981.  
  2982.  
  2983.  
  2984. &lt;p&gt;Bono and Hutchence were neighbours in the south of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196704/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt;, near Nice — that’s where Thomas came in.&lt;/p&gt;
  2985.  
  2986.  
  2987.  
  2988. &lt;p&gt;Clayton says: “We had known Chris for a while. We would bump into him during summers in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196704/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt; when various reprobates would gather.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2989.  
  2990.  
  2991.  
  2992. &lt;p&gt;During those balmy days under the Mediterranean sun, there were informal chats with Thomas “about the record we wanted to make”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2993.  
  2994.  
  2995.  
  2996. &lt;p&gt;It was these that led U2 to “setting off on a course with him”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2997.  
  2998.  
  2999.  
  3000. &lt;p&gt;But, and it’s a big BUT, things didn’t quite work out as planned, as Clayton explains.&lt;/p&gt;
  3001.  
  3002.  
  3003.  
  3004. &lt;p&gt;“In U2, we have a rather strange methodology, which is: Just when you think a track is finished, we go off and rewrite it!&lt;/p&gt;
  3005.  
  3006.  
  3007.  
  3008. &lt;p&gt;“Chris wasn’t used to this. Quite reasonably, he thought a record should take six weeks at most.&lt;/p&gt;
  3009.  
  3010.  
  3011.  
  3012. &lt;p&gt;“When we were heading into the third month, he found it very difficult to concentrate.&lt;/p&gt;
  3013.  
  3014.  
  3015.  
  3016. &lt;p&gt;“At that point, he said, ‘Look, I’m not sure I’m the right person. You Irish guys are a bit too crazy!’”&lt;/p&gt;
  3017.

  3030.  
  3031.  
  3032.  
  3033. &lt;p&gt;The band turned to Steve Lillywhite, who Clayton recalls being “very helpful and very sensible”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3034.  
  3035.  
  3036.  
  3037. &lt;p&gt;“He listened to what we had, particularly the track we were putting most &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy/&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt; into — the one which became Vertigo.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3038.  
  3039.  
  3040.  
  3041. &lt;p&gt;First known as Native Son, the song served as a homage to Leonard Peltier, a Native American incarcerated for murder in 1975 and long the subject of miscarriage of justice &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/campaigns/&quot;&gt;campaigns&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3042.  
  3043.  
  3044.  
  3045. &lt;p&gt;“For us, it was a complex lyrical matter,” says Clayton. “It wasn’t really working and Steve called it.&lt;/p&gt;
  3046.  
  3047.  
  3048.  
  3049. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He said, ‘Do a better backing track and then we’ll play it to Bono’. He had been doing other work, but when he heard what we’d done he was very excited.&lt;/p&gt;
  3050.  
  3051.  
  3052.  
  3053. &lt;p&gt;“Bono said, ‘Give me a mic’. And the bones of Vertigo happened right there.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3054.  
  3055.  
  3056.  
  3057. &lt;p&gt;Suddenly, “everything clicked into place” and U2 had a storming, straight-ahead anthem to kick off their new album, exactly what they had been aiming for.&lt;/p&gt;
  3058.  
  3059.  
  3060.  
  3061. &lt;p&gt;Clayton says: “We’ve always loved the idea making rock and roll 45s and Vertigo fits into that, as does Beautiful Day.&lt;/p&gt;
  3062.  
  3063.  
  3064.  
  3065. &lt;p&gt;“They are the holy grail of tunes for us. They’re fun to play and audiences love them.&lt;/p&gt;
  3066.  
  3067.  
  3068.  
  3069. &lt;p&gt;“There’s something about those searing guitar riffs. They’re eternal.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3070.  
  3071.  
  3072.  
  3073. &lt;p&gt;If Vertigo is a three-minute adrenalin rush that Clayton describes as “invincible”, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On You Own is just as intense but in a very different way.&lt;/p&gt;
  3074.  
  3075.  
  3076.  
  3077. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘Difficult relations with our fathers’&lt;/h2&gt;
  3078.  
  3079.  
  3080.  
  3081. &lt;p&gt;Spanning nearly five minutes, the searing power ballad bears a towering Bono vocal and some of his most heartfelt lyrics.&lt;/p&gt;
  3082.  
  3083.  
  3084.  
  3085. &lt;p&gt;Originally with the working title Tough after the song’s first word, it is about the singer’s troubled relationship with his father Bob Hewson, who died of cancer in 2001.&lt;/p&gt;
  3086.  
  3087.  
  3088.  
  3089. &lt;p&gt;Clayton well remembers how the song resonated with the rest of the band.&lt;/p&gt;
  3090.  
  3091.  
  3092.  
  3093. &lt;p&gt;“Bono’s father had been very, very sick,” he says. “Probably with the exception of Edge, we’re a band of men who had difficult relationships with our fathers.&lt;/p&gt;
  3094.  
  3095.  
  3096.  
  3097. &lt;p&gt;“Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own contemplates the loss of a very big figure in a very big figure’s life. It is poignant and powerful.&lt;/p&gt;
  3098.  
  3099.  
  3100.  
  3101. &lt;p&gt;“You don’t need to dig very deep before you realise what Bono was working with.&lt;/p&gt;
  3102.  
  3103.  
  3104.  
  3105. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve always responded to the universality of a lyric. But, because I know Bono and because we’ve been together for so long, I’m very aware of where he pulls his references from.&lt;/p&gt;
  3106.  
  3107.  
  3108.  
  3109. &lt;p&gt;“For me, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own was him being that small boy again, that 14-year-old looking at his father who was struggling with the loss of his wife.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3110.  
  3111.  
  3112.  
  3113. &lt;p&gt;Clayton is referring to the death of Bono’s mother, Iris, which had a devastating effect on the singer’s whole family.&lt;/p&gt;
  3114.  
  3115.  
  3116.  
  3117. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  3119. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  3120. &lt;p&gt;When Bono writes, he’s never looking for sympathy.&lt;/p&gt;

  3122. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Adam Clayton&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;

  3127.  
  3128.  
  3129.  
  3130. &lt;p&gt;She is remembered in several U2 songs, including I Will Follow and Iris (Hold Me Close).&lt;/p&gt;
  3131.  
  3132.  
  3133.  
  3134. &lt;p&gt;But Clayton adds: “When Bono writes, he’s never looking for sympathy. Rather like a method actor, he’s saying, ‘I need to examine this emotion and express it.’”&lt;/p&gt;
  3135.  
  3136.  
  3137.  
  3138. &lt;p&gt;The bassist suggests that no matter who you are, rock stars in their ivory towers included, life can be tough.&lt;/p&gt;
  3139.  
  3140.  
  3141.  
  3142. &lt;p&gt;He says: “The thing that’s dropping into my vision nowadays is realising that nobody escapes heartache, disappointment, vulnerability. We’re all built the same.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3143.  
  3144.  
  3145.  
  3146. &lt;p&gt;This brings us to another key song from How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, City Of Blinding Lights, which, says Clayton, had a difficult birth.&lt;/p&gt;
  3147.  
  3148.  
  3149.  
  3150. &lt;p&gt;“It was originally conceived on piano but we had to shift everything into guitar mode. It was hard to make it work.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3151.  
  3152.  
  3153.  
  3154. &lt;p&gt;Then he adds with due modesty: “Once we had, dare I say it, the bass part, which drives it, everything slotted into place.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3155.  
  3156.  
  3157.  
  3158. &lt;p&gt;City Of Blinding Lights, a U2 live staple, achieved wider recognition when it was used by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/barack-obama/&quot;&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt; during his presidential campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;
  3159.  
  3160.  
  3161.  
  3162. &lt;p&gt;Clayton questions whether a song being used in a political context “is a good badge of honour” but adds: “It must have connectivity — and that means something.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3163.  
  3164.  
  3165.  
  3166. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘To succeed, you needed no plan B’&lt;/h2&gt;
  3167.  
  3168.  
  3169.  
  3170. &lt;p&gt;Bono’s lyrics reflect on lost innocence but, suggests his bandmate: “It is written to the audience and also to a city. The city of blinding lights is probably &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-york/&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3171.  
  3172.  
  3173.  
  3174. &lt;p&gt;We move on to a wider discussion about the influences swirling around How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.&lt;/p&gt;
  3175.  
  3176.  
  3177.  
  3178. &lt;p&gt;Of its post-punk vibe, Clayton says: “As &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/teenagers/&quot;&gt;teenagers&lt;/a&gt; in 1976/77, there was a lot of anger in the air. That was our go-to position, where we came from, our music.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3179.  
  3180.  
  3181.  
  3182. &lt;p&gt;Clayton acknowledges that in the years leading up to How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, “We made our music more complicated — to take us away from the mainstream maybe.&lt;/p&gt;
  3183.  
  3184.  
  3185.  
  3186. &lt;p&gt;“A lot of Edge’s more lyrical guitar parts were coming from a place of otherness.&lt;/p&gt;
  3187.  
  3188.  
  3189.  
  3190. &lt;p&gt;“On this record, we were interested in pushing him to turn off the echo machine and play the power chord.&lt;/p&gt;
  3191.  
  3192.  
  3193.  
  3194. &lt;p&gt;“Sometimes, it’s hard to get him to do that,” he adds, before adding with a smirk, “because he doesn’t have that sort of anger in him!”&lt;/p&gt;
  3195.  
  3196.  
  3197.  
  3198. &lt;p&gt;Clayton sees the two albums, Dismantle and Re-Assemble, as something of a last hurrah for old-school recording techniques.&lt;/p&gt;
  3199.  
  3200.  
  3201.  
  3202. &lt;p&gt;“Compared with 20 years ago, music today is made in an entirely different way.&lt;/p&gt;
  3203.  
  3204.  
  3205.  
  3206. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  3214. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  3216.  
  3217.  
  3218.  
  3219. &lt;p&gt;“Back then, records were based on people in a room, playing instruments together.&lt;/p&gt;
  3220.  
  3221.  
  3222.  
  3223. &lt;p&gt;“Now that’s become uneconomical. Artists are in their bedrooms or home studios, creating music alone, and that is being streamed.&lt;/p&gt;
  3224.  
  3225.  
  3226.  
  3227. &lt;p&gt;“It’s a different sound, not that of four men forging a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/future/&quot;&gt;future&lt;/a&gt; for themselves.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3228.  
  3229.  
  3230.  
  3231. &lt;p&gt;Clayton says that when U2 started out in the late Seventies, “the best way for a band to succeed was desperation. To have no plan B.&lt;/p&gt;
  3232.  
  3233.  
  3234.  
  3235. &lt;p&gt;“You had no choice but to keep going forward because your life depended on it.&lt;/p&gt;
  3236.  
  3237.  
  3238.  
  3239. &lt;p&gt;“By the time you got a record deal and a bit of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;, the next thing you had to do was play a whole load of tiny, s***ty little bars and clubs.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3240.  
  3241.  
  3242.  
  3243. &lt;p&gt;Before the ever-insightful Clayton and I go our separate ways, I ask him for an update on drummer Larry Mullen Jr. who missed U2’s groundbreaking shows at the state-of-the-art Sphere in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/las-vegas/&quot;&gt;Las Vegas&lt;/a&gt; because of “drumming-related” injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  3244.  
  3245.  
  3246.  
  3247. &lt;p&gt;“He’s back on his stool,” replies Clayton. “Look, we are a little bit like athletes, but have a longer shelf life.&lt;/p&gt;
  3248.  
  3249.  
  3250.  
  3251. &lt;p&gt;“Larry’s body had taken a battering over the years and his primary issue was pain.&lt;/p&gt;
  3252.  
  3253.  
  3254.  
  3255. &lt;p&gt;“He’s finally feeling much better and is very enthusiastic about playing again.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3256.  
  3257.  
  3258.  
  3259. &lt;p&gt;And what of the future of U2? “I feel, I hope not mistakenly, that we still have a lot to give,” answers Clayton.&lt;/p&gt;
  3260.  
  3261.  
  3262.  
  3263. &lt;p&gt;“No matter where our lives have led us, the constant is mucking about in a studio, creating music together.&lt;/p&gt;
  3264.  
  3265.  
  3266.

  3322. &lt;p&gt;ASHLEY Cain fans have seemingly figured out when his baby&amp;#8217;s due date is after spotting a huge clue in his Instagram announcement. &lt;/p&gt;
  3323.  
  3324.

  3339.  
  3340.  
  3341.  
  3342. &lt;p&gt;Ashley became a dad for the second time when he &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/25409954/ashley-cain-baby-son-born-sweet-name/&quot;&gt;welcomed his son Aliyas Diamond in January&lt;/a&gt;, and today he took to Instagram to tell his dedicated following of fans that he&amp;#8217;s expecting another son.&lt;/p&gt;
  3343.  
  3344.  
  3345.  
  3346. &lt;p&gt;Alongside some snaps of his son and a scan, Ashley wrote: &amp;#8220;My little girl will soon have another little brother to watch over, and my little boy will not only be a baby brother but a big brother too.&lt;/p&gt;
  3347.  
  3348.  
  3349.  
  3350. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With all the heartache I’ve been through, I’m truly grateful that I can really start counting my blessings again!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3351.  
  3352.  
  3353.  
  3354. &lt;p&gt;And now fans have spotted that the scan photo shared reveals when the baby will likely be born.&lt;/p&gt;
  3355.  
  3356.  
  3357.  
  3358. &lt;p&gt;Several people in the comments are saying that they zoomed in and could see that the scan was done in June 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  3359.  
  3360.  
  3361.  
  3362. &lt;p&gt;This means it will likely be born around six months from when the scan was done.&lt;/p&gt;
  3363.  
  3364.  
  3365.  
  3366. &lt;p&gt;Many fans are speculating that the baby could be due as soon as next month, with them sharing their thoughts in the comments section of the announcement post.&lt;/p&gt;
  3367.  
  3368.  
  3369.  
  3370. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;ALMOST DUE?&lt;/h2&gt;
  3371.  
  3372.  
  3373.  
  3374. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Baby is due quite soon if that scan was done on the 10.6.24,&amp;#8221; penned one.&lt;/p&gt;
  3375.  
  3376.  
  3377.  
  3378. &lt;p&gt;Another echoed, &amp;#8220;Almost due too. I like those quick pregnancies. I mean it wouldn&amp;#8217;t have been quick for muma but I&amp;#8217;m here for the next month keep checking.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3379.  
  3380.  
  3381.  
  3382. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This was back in June, so is she nearly due now,&amp;#8221; penned a third.&lt;/p&gt;

  3418. &lt;p&gt;Ashley never revealed the identity of his son Aliyas&amp;#8217; mother and it is currently unclear if his unborn child has the same mum, with speculation ramping up on social media.&lt;/p&gt;

  3520. &lt;p&gt;Taking to X &amp;#8211; formerly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter-2/&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; viewers reckon they&amp;#8217;ve caught on to Dean&amp;#8217;s intentions.&lt;/p&gt;
  3521.  
  3522.  
  3523.  
  3524. &lt;p&gt;One fan wrote: &amp;#8220;Dean pretending to keep his teabags secret because he knows jungle smugglers get more airtime.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3525.  
  3526.  
  3527.  
  3528. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Not Dean whispering about tea bags like he hasn&amp;#8217;t got a mic and 10 cameras on him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3529.  
  3530.  
  3531.  
  3532. &lt;p&gt;A third commented: &amp;#8220;Dean can’t keep his mouth shut about his teabags.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3533.  
  3534.  
  3535.  
  3536. &lt;p&gt;While a fourth remarked: &amp;#8220;Can&amp;#8217;t believe Dean admitted he brought teabags into the camp when there are cameras everywhere and he&amp;#8217;s wearing a microphone.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3537.  
  3538.  
  3539.  
  3540. &lt;p&gt;Yet another penned:&amp;#8221; Dean&amp;#8217;s played a blinder here. &lt;/p&gt;
  3541.  
  3542.  
  3543.  
  3544. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Come on, it&amp;#8217;s not about keeping the teabags hidden, it&amp;#8217;s about being a lead character and this is another perfect move.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3596. &lt;p&gt;Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31868073/im-celeb-dean-mccullough-makes-tea-ant-and-dec/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;smuggled teabags into camp &lt;/a&gt;although it hasn&amp;#8217;t taken long for chiefs to realise this.&lt;/p&gt;
  3597. &lt;p&gt;The teabags were brazenly used in plain sight, with little to no attempt to hide their presence.&lt;/p&gt;
  3598. &lt;p&gt;After Ant and Dec&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31845442/ant-dec-im-a-celebrity-rule-break-dean-tea/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; warned repercussions were on the way,&lt;/a&gt; the campmates faced severe consequences.&lt;/p&gt;
  3599. &lt;p&gt;Melvin Odoom won 10 cupcakes in a challenge &amp;#8211; only for five to be taken away as punishment for contraband.&lt;/p&gt;
  3600. &lt;p&gt;Later, it also transpired Melvin slyly gave Tulisa seasoning for the first night&amp;#8217;s dinner.&lt;/p&gt;

  3651.  
  3652.  
  3653.  
  3654. &lt;p&gt;Elvira Becker passed away at her apartment in Germany, having stood lovingly by the three-time &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; champ throughout his highs and lows.&lt;/p&gt;

  3667.  
  3668.  
  3669.  
  3670. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/tennis/&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; legend was reportedly informed by phone and returned to his mum&amp;#8217;s home town&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;Leimen, Baden-Wurttemberg, where&amp;nbsp;he was born.&lt;/p&gt;
  3671.  
  3672.  
  3673.  
  3674. &lt;p&gt;Elvira died on&amp;nbsp;Thursday, the day before her son&amp;#8217;s 57th birthday.&lt;/p&gt;
  3675.  
  3676.  
  3677.  
  3678. &lt;p&gt;She had been ever supportive of him &amp;#8211; as much, if not more during the troubled periods that followed his celebrated career on the court.&lt;/p&gt;
  3679.  
  3680.  
  3681.  
  3682. &lt;p&gt;Those problems&amp;nbsp;included financial issues, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/boris-becker/&quot;&gt;the five-time Grand Slam winner&lt;/a&gt; jailed in Britain for seven months in&amp;nbsp;2022 for bankruptcy offences.&lt;/p&gt;
  3683.  
  3684.  
  3685.  
  3686. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s there where &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19700150/tennis-star-boris-becker-jailed-snub-mum/&quot;&gt;her bond with her son&lt;/a&gt; was perhaps needed most, as it&amp;#8217;s believed her phone calls helped sustain him. &lt;/p&gt;
  3687.  
  3688.  
  3689.  
  3690. &lt;p&gt;Elvira&amp;#8217;s health and mobility difficulties meant she was unable to see him get married for the third time, to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27935034/boris-becker-fiancee-lilian-monteiro-holiday/&quot;&gt;Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Italy two months ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  3691.  
  3692.  
  3693.  
  3694. &lt;p&gt;But mum and son were as close as always this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3695.  
  3696.  
  3697.  
  3698. &lt;p&gt;When visiting her back in May, he posted photos on Instagram alongside the message: &amp;#8220;The one and only&amp;#8230; Elvira! Happy Mother&amp;#8217;s Day.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3699.  
  3700.  
  3701.

  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706. &lt;p&gt;The former World No1&amp;#8217;s lawyer&amp;nbsp;Oliver Moser&amp;nbsp;confirmed her death on Thursday, adding: &amp;#8220;Boris Becker is in deep mourning.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3707.  
  3708.  
  3709.  
  3710. &lt;p&gt;Elvira and her husband Karl-Heinz, who died from cancer in 1999, were major figures in his tennis development, leading to him becoming Wimbledon&amp;#8217;s youngest ever winner aged 17 in 1985.&lt;/p&gt;

  3734. &lt;p&gt;And of course, Elvira was at SW19 that day in July 39 years ago to see her unseeded son make history.&lt;/p&gt;
  3735.  
  3736.  
  3737.  
  3738. &lt;p&gt;That incredible occasion was made all the more remarkable as she had fled the former Czechoslovakia with her family in the 1940s.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  3794.  
  3795.  
  3796.  
  3797. &lt;p&gt;And he chickened out of another Bushtucker Trial, screaming “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/im-a-celebrity/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;I’m a &lt;span id=&quot;4b40b660-6345-4231-b6c6-e372af2a67e9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;celebrity&lt;/span&gt;, get me out of here!&lt;/a&gt;” for a second time in as many days.&lt;/p&gt;
  3798.  
  3799.  
  3800.  
  3801. &lt;p&gt;The 32-year-old won just four stars out of ten before quitting the Lethal Lab challenge, which saw him put his head in boxes of creepy-crawlies.&lt;/p&gt;
  3802.  
  3803.  
  3804.  
  3805. &lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, he and podcaster &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31827721/gk-barry-gasps-air-im-a-celeb-bushtucker-trial/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;GK Barry failed to gain a single star during their Drown in the Dumps task&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3806.  
  3807.  
  3808.  
  3809. &lt;p&gt;And Dean was seen in tears on Tuesday night’s show after quitting the Sinister Sarcophagus having retrieved just two stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  3810.  
  3811.  
  3812.  
  3813. &lt;p&gt;Now sources say there is “discontent” growing in the camp.&lt;/p&gt;
  3814.  
  3815.  
  3816.  
  3817. &lt;p&gt;One said: “The celebs have been starved of good food and to then have a &lt;span id=&quot;ac9d66e3-469c-4910-9740-fe15a9f6b6f1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;luxury&lt;/span&gt; like the cupcakes snatched away over something a bit silly is frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;
  3818.  
  3819.  
  3820.  
  3821. &lt;p&gt;“Dean is a &lt;span id=&quot;d68e5543-16cd-4360-a7e7-a99fc8869078&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; lad but there’s only so much the celebs will be able to take.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3822.  
  3823.  
  3824.  
  3825. &lt;p&gt;Teagate kicked off when &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/barry-mcguigan/&quot;&gt;Barry McGuigan&lt;/a&gt; realised his tea was a darker colour than normal.&lt;/p&gt;
  3826.  
  3827.  
  3828.  
  3829. &lt;p&gt;Alan Halsall joked:&amp;nbsp;“We got a bit of mud in the kettle but try it.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3830.  
  3831.  
  3832.  
  3833. &lt;p&gt;Barry took a sip then gave a sly wink to Alan and Dean and said:&amp;nbsp;“Fantastic!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  3878. MAURA Higgins is a late entry to I&amp;#039;m A Celeb 2024. Yet who is joining her? &lt;/p&gt;
  3880. &lt;div&gt;
  3881. &lt;p&gt;2019 Love Island star Maura, 33, will be a late entry to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31451647/im-a-celebrity-full-line-up-maura-higgins-coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;the jungle line-up.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  3883. &lt;p&gt;The duo will join the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/who/coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;Coleen Rooney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14114158/im-a-celebrity-2024-line-up-barry-mcguigan/&quot;&gt;Barry McGuigan&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14159222/mcflys-danny-jones-heathrow-joel-dommett-sam-thompson/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones &lt;/a&gt;in Ant and Dec’s jungle camp a week into this year’s star-spangled series. &lt;/p&gt;
  3884. &lt;p&gt;Yet initially the duo will have their own private base &amp;#8211; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31843045/first-look-maura-higgins-richard-coles-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;a secret mission&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; before heading into the main compound Down Under.&lt;/p&gt;
  3885. &lt;p&gt;Maura has already described the jungle as &amp;#8220;hell.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3886. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile Richard, who has starred on Strictly, has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31818603/rev-richard-coles-biggest-fear-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;confessed his biggest &amp;#8220;fear.&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  3939. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uk-border-force/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Border Force&lt;/a&gt;, alerted to deliveries from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/canada/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Canada&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/leeds/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt;, tipped off local &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cops&lt;/a&gt; who identified the pair from CCTV.&lt;/p&gt;
  3940.

  3946.  
  3947. &lt;p&gt;The pair admitted drug offences and were jailed for three years at the city’s crown &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  3952.  
  3953.  
  3954.  
  3955. &lt;p&gt;Judge Mansell praised officers involved in the case at their sentencing, saying the pair had found a “novel method” for flooding the market with illegal drugs.&lt;/p&gt;
  3956.  
  3957.  
  3958.  
  3959. &lt;p&gt;He said: “It was a very effective and well-executed operation that brought an end to a very lucrative skunk cannabis business.&lt;/p&gt;
  3960.  
  3961.  
  3962.  
  3963. &lt;p&gt;“It was a novel method for flooding the market. The importation of cannabis previously in lorries from the continent has become far less prevalent.&lt;/p&gt;
  3964.  
  3965.  
  3966.  
  3967. &lt;p&gt;“This method was novel and I commend the team for the investigation.”&lt;/p&gt;

  4037. &lt;p&gt;Royal Mail has warned that its stamp prices could rise again after a £120million hit from the Budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  4038.  
  4039.

  4046.  
  4047.  
  4048.  
  4049. &lt;p&gt;Martin Seidenberg, chief exec of International Distribution Services, said: “We are looking at all measures including pricing, parcel cost efficiencies, investment plans, auto- mation and our parcel network.&lt;/p&gt;
  4050.  
  4051.  
  4052.  
  4053. &lt;p&gt;“I cannot rule out [increasing stamp prices] but we will look at not just consumer letters but also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; mail and parcels.” The cost of a first class stamps went up by 30p to £1.65 last month, while second class stayed at 85p.&lt;/p&gt;
  4054.  
  4055.  
  4056.  
  4057. &lt;p&gt;Since privatisation and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/royal-mail/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Royal Mail&lt;/a&gt;’s stock market float a decade ago, first class stamp prices have almost trebled.&lt;/p&gt;
  4058.  
  4059.  
  4060.  
  4061. &lt;p&gt;Mr Seidenberg said the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31389225/budget-2024-autumn-statement-full-list-winners-losers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Budget &lt;/a&gt;made its 130,000 permanent workforce much more expensive. &lt;/p&gt;
  4062.  
  4063.  
  4064.  
  4065. &lt;p&gt;As a result of its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tax/&quot;&gt;tax&lt;/a&gt; burden, it has written down the value of its UK mail business by £134million.&lt;/p&gt;
  4066.

  4069. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/MR-P45-STAMP-GRAPHIC-V2-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a poster that says rising at a fair lick for ten years&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868218&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;
  4070.  
  4071.  
  4072.  
  4073. &lt;p&gt;Mr Seidenberg also blamed the measures, such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/31593710/fury-as-government-deny-hiking-national-insurance-budget/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;employers’ higher National &lt;span id=&quot;a4b79764-ea58-42e0-b48c-9b7ddaa3c2d5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Insurance&lt;/span&gt; contribution&lt;/a&gt;s, for stopping it from returning to profit.&lt;/p&gt;
  4074.  
  4075.  
  4076.  
  4077. &lt;p&gt;It comes as ministers &lt;span id=&quot;2e1cadbd-dd1b-4192-b8ba-9cb8acada873&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;review&lt;/span&gt; national security concerns about Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky’s £3.6billion takeover.&lt;/p&gt;
  4078.  
  4079.  
  4080.  
  4081. &lt;p&gt;Ids reported revenues were up by £481million to £6.3billion but it still faces an operating loss of £26million, compared to a £243million loss last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  4082.  
  4083.  
  4084.  
  4085. &lt;p&gt;Mr Seidenberg wants the Government to reform its Universal Service Obligation, which includes delivering and collecting mail six days a week. &lt;/p&gt;
  4086.  
  4087.  
  4088.

  4166.  
  4167.  
  4168.  
  4169. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Chancellor&lt;/a&gt; last night urged financial services firms to move quicker and promote more women into senior roles.&lt;/p&gt;
  4170.  
  4171.  
  4172.  
  4173. &lt;p&gt;The sector continues to have the biggest gender pay gap of 23.7 per cent, compared to 11.7 per cent in all other industries.&lt;/p&gt;
  4174.  
  4175.  
  4176.  
  4177. &lt;p&gt;Just 35 per cent of senior roles in the City are held by women and at the current pace, gender parity would not be achieved until 2038.&lt;/p&gt;
  4178.  
  4179.  
  4180.  
  4181. &lt;p&gt;Aviva chief Dame Amanda Blanc, one of just eight female bosses in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ftse-100/&quot;&gt;FTSE 100&lt;/a&gt;, said financial firms were “limiting women’s careers”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4182.  
  4183.  
  4184.  
  4185. &lt;p&gt;Ms Reeves, the first female Chancellor, said last night: “Diversity in boardrooms is not a tick-box exercise. It’s an economic imperative.&lt;/p&gt;
  4186.  
  4187.  
  4188.  
  4189. &lt;p&gt;“That’s why we want more companies to sign up to the Women in Finance Charter. And more women promoted to top &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4190.  
  4191.  
  4192.  
  4193. &lt;p&gt;The previous government launched The Women in Finance Charter in 2016.&lt;/p&gt;
  4194.  
  4195.  
  4196.  
  4197. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compete on deals&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4198.  
  4199.  
  4200.  
  4201. &lt;p&gt;The competition watchdog is to change its approach after the government said it needed to focus more on its impact on the economy.&lt;/p&gt;
  4202.  
  4203.  
  4204.  
  4205. &lt;p&gt;It follows criticism the regulator was calling in too many small deals. Sarah Cardell, of the Competition and &lt;span id=&quot;7ad4ffa6-5481-4a21-9982-53a9d49609f5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Markets&lt;/span&gt; Authority, said “only a truly problematic merger . . . should not proceed”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4206.  
  4207.  
  4208.  
  4209. &lt;p&gt;The CMA will consider remedies including price freezes and investment commitments.&lt;/p&gt;
  4210.  
  4211.  
  4212.  
  4213. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boohoo battle&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4214.  
  4215.  
  4216.  
  4217. &lt;p&gt;A clash of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/a&gt; titans ramped up a notch yesterday as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mike-ashley/&quot;&gt;Mike Ashley&lt;/a&gt; demanded Boohoo founder Mahmud Kamani “must go”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4218.  
  4219.  
  4220.  
  4221. &lt;p&gt;Mr Ashley, the online fashion giant’s biggest shareholder, accused the firm of “continued chaos” and “value destruction” in a letter to other investors as he lobbies for a seat on the board.&lt;/p&gt;
  4222.  
  4223.  
  4224.  
  4225. &lt;p&gt;Boohoo tried to pre-empt Mr Ashley, who still pulls the strings at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/frasers-group/&quot;&gt;Frasers Group&lt;/a&gt; despite no longer having a board seat, by saying Mr Kamani would step down to become executive vice chair.&lt;/p&gt;
  4226.  
  4227.  
  4228.  
  4229. &lt;hr class=&quot;wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity&quot; /&gt;
  4230.  
  4231.  
  4232.  
  4233. &lt;p&gt;Consumer confidence has inched higher so far this month as people move past uncertainties around the Budget and look ahead to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/black-friday/&quot;&gt;Black Friday&lt;/a&gt; spending, according to a GFK survey. The overall confidence index score moved up three points to -18.&lt;/p&gt;

  4242.  
  4243.  
  4244.  
  4245. &lt;p&gt;Nine UK water firms have been stopped by regulator Ofwat from using customer cash to pay bosses bonuses.&lt;/p&gt;
  4246.  
  4247.  
  4248.  
  4249. &lt;p&gt;It blocked &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/thames-water/&quot;&gt;Thames Water&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span id=&quot;07068415-8581-48e2-a21a-9a1c082b6a2c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/span&gt; Water and Dwr Cymru Welsh Water while the other six agreed investors should pay instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  4250.  
  4251.  
  4252.  
  4253. &lt;p&gt;A total of £6.8million — around three-quarters of executive pay — would have been funnelled from customer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bills/&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/a&gt; had it not stepped in.&lt;/p&gt;
  4254.  
  4255.  
  4256.  
  4257. &lt;p&gt;The move comes just weeks before Ofwat sets out how much bills can rise over the &lt;span id=&quot;c4e8daba-01b0-4edb-b21c-3c60c4097f82&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; five years. Companies are, on average, pushing for a 40 per cent increase.&lt;/p&gt;

  4317. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  4319. &lt;/div&gt;
  4320.  
  4321.  
  4322.  
  4323.  
  4324.  
  4325.  
  4326.  
  4327.  
  4328.  
  4329. &lt;p&gt;A FUMING grandad has revealed how he was slapped with a £160 parking ticket despite following all the rules &amp;#8211; but soon realised he was scammed.&lt;/p&gt;
  4330.  
  4331.  
  4332.  
  4333. &lt;p&gt;Ronnie Hayman, 73, parked his car at the St James’ Hospital in Leeds to visit an ill family member and was instructed to pay £6 for two hours via the Tap2Park website.&lt;/p&gt;
  4334.  
  4335.  
  4336.  
  4337. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31869163&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 820px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/160-parking-fine-quashed-says-951034487.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=810&quot; alt=&quot;a man is holding a letter in front of a blue car&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31869163&quot; width=&quot;810&quot; height=&quot;539&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;MEN Media&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Ronnie Hayman had a £160 parking fine quashed[/caption]
  4338.  
  4339.  
  4340.  
  4341. &lt;p&gt;Mr Hayman said he paid for his parking but the owners of the car parking later sent him a £100 fine letter to his address. &lt;/p&gt;
  4342.  
  4343.  
  4344.  
  4345. &lt;p&gt;The grandad-of-seven said the paring website was hacked and the fee he paid at the hospital went into a dodgy account called &amp;#8220;Mr Muscle&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  4346.  
  4347.  
  4348.  
  4349. &lt;p&gt;But just a month later he was sent a second letter demanding an increased fine of £160. He also received a letter from a bailiff company.&lt;/p&gt;
  4350.  
  4351.  
  4352.  
  4353. &lt;p&gt;Fortunately, his fine was quashed after he told I Park Services about the problem and sent them proof of payment. &lt;/p&gt;
  4354.  
  4355.  
  4356.  
  4357. &lt;p&gt;He told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/news/leeds-news/grandad-speaks-out-after-leeds-30421907&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Leeds Live (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Leeds Live&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a good win. I think it was all down to the publicity that you [Leeds Live] provided. I sent them a copy of your article and to the bailiff as well, and it did the trick.&lt;/p&gt;
  4358.  
  4359.  
  4360.  
  4361. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was just annoying having to go through all that stress and aggravation when it wasn&amp;#8217;t my fault. If they had any common sense, they would have realised everything was genuine when I sent them a copy of the bank proof of payment.&lt;/p&gt;
  4362.  
  4363.  
  4364.  
  4365. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As you get older and you&amp;#8217;re not working as long hours then things bug you. This bugged me and I had the time to do something about it. If it had been 20 years ago, I&amp;#8217;d have probably done nothing about it and paid the fine.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4366.  
  4367.  
  4368.  
  4369. &lt;p&gt;The food man was soon contacted by the bailiffs who told them that the case against him was being dropped and that he should not expect any further correspondence in this matter. &lt;/p&gt;
  4370.  
  4371.  
  4372.  
  4373. &lt;p&gt;The parking website company Tap2Park previously admitted they were targeted by hackers who ran a dupe website to scam customers. &lt;/p&gt;
  4374.  
  4375.  
  4376.  
  4377. &lt;p&gt;The website said all they provide is an online platform as a payment provider, and have nothing to do with the running of the car park.&lt;/p&gt;
  4378.  
  4379.  
  4380.  
  4381. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for Tap2Park told the media outlet: “Earlier this year, we were alerted to the existence of an unauthorised website, accessible through a Google search, which misappropriated our logo and falsely represented our service.&lt;/p&gt;
  4382.  
  4383.  
  4384.  
  4385. &lt;p&gt;“This fraudulent site directs individuals to an illegitimate payment platform. Upon discovering this, we promptly reported the matter to Action Fraud and submitted a takedown request to Google to address the issue.&lt;/p&gt;
  4386.  
  4387.  
  4388.  
  4389. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Unfortunately, to date, despite several follow-ups on our part, we have not received a response from either entity. As part of our ongoing efforts to resolve this, we are now preparing to escalate the matter by issuing a pre-action letter to protect our brand and safeguard users against this deceptive activity.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4390.  
  4391.  
  4392.  
  4393. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I be fined for not having a parking ticket if the machine isn&amp;#8217;t working?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  4394.  
  4395.  
  4396.  
  4397. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes parking ticket machines break, but that does not mean that you can park for free.&lt;/p&gt;
  4398.  
  4399.  
  4400.  
  4401. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;can still give you a fine, so here is everything you need to know about much the fine is and if you can get it cancelled.&lt;/p&gt;
  4402.  
  4403.  
  4404.  
  4405. &lt;p&gt;You may still face a fine for not having a parking ticket if the machine is broken, but you should be able to appeal the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  4406.  
  4407.  
  4408.  
  4409. &lt;p&gt;According to Citizens Advice, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/4628273/appeal-parking-ticket/&quot;&gt;fine can be cancelled&lt;/a&gt;, but only if there isn&amp;#8217;t another way to pay.&lt;/p&gt;
  4410.  
  4411.  
  4412.  
  4413. &lt;p&gt;The penalty won&amp;#8217;t be dropped if there is another, working machine nearby — so ensure you double-check before leaving without paying.&lt;/p&gt;
  4414.  
  4415.  
  4416.  
  4417. &lt;p&gt;If you do decide to park, you should take a photograph of the broken machine as you&amp;#8217;ll need it for your appeal should you end up getting fined.&lt;/p&gt;
  4418.  
  4419.  
  4420.  
  4421. &lt;p&gt;More than half of drivers have successfully appealed parking fines handed out by local&amp;nbsp;councils,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/16199285/drivers-win-parking-fine-appeals-save-money/&quot;&gt;an investigation by The Sun found&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  4422.  
  4423.  
  4424.  
  4425. &lt;p&gt;But be careful, as some car parks will have a sign saying not to stop there if there&amp;#8217;s no way to pay.&lt;/p&gt;
  4426.  
  4427.  
  4428.  
  4429. &lt;p&gt;Should you ignore the sign and get a penalty, your appeal is very likely to be rejected.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  4573. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31869519&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/2024/11/bad-cop-shocking-moment-cop-951076145.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a row of cars are parked on the side of a street .&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31869519&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;Met Police&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;As he eats his lunch he smashes into a parked white BMW[/caption]
  4574.  
  4575.  
  4576.  
  4577. &lt;p&gt;Alarming &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/topic/cctv/&quot;&gt;CCTV &lt;/a&gt;footage, captured on March 17 earlier this year, shows him lose control and barrel into the parked motor.&lt;/p&gt;
  4578.  
  4579.  
  4580.  
  4581. &lt;p&gt;The brazen officer then flees the narrow residential street, after causing &amp;#8220;extensive damage&amp;#8221; at around 1.33pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  4582.  
  4583.  
  4584.  
  4585. &lt;p&gt;He even tried to lie to his manager and a traffic sergeant the following day, claiming there was no crash.&lt;/p&gt;
  4586.  
  4587.  
  4588.  
  4589. &lt;p&gt;But a Forensic Collision Investigation report concluded PC Adebiyi&amp;#8217;s meal was a &amp;#8220;sufficient distraction&amp;#8221; and there had been &amp;#8220;sufficient room&amp;#8221; for him to have driven safely. &lt;/p&gt;
  4590.  
  4591.  
  4592.  
  4593. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Whilst the BMW was protruding from the parking bay, there was sufficient room for the van to pass,&amp;#8221; stated the report. &lt;/p&gt;
  4594.  
  4595.  
  4596.  
  4597. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;CCTV footage from the van showed PC Adebiyi was eating from a box on the front passenger seat. This appears to have been a sufficient distraction for PC Adebiyi.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4598.  
  4599.  
  4600.  
  4601. &lt;p&gt;In a misconduct report, Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor wrote it was &amp;#8220;unlikely&amp;#8221; the PC had no idea he&amp;#8217;d smashed up two vehicles. &lt;/p&gt;
  4602.  
  4603.  
  4604.  
  4605. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;This matter extends beyond the collision itself, to the continued actions in continuing to deny the incident and effectively attempting to cover it up.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4606.  
  4607.  
  4608.  
  4609. &lt;p&gt;Adebeyi later admitted driving without due care and attention, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to report it.&lt;/p&gt;
  4610.  
  4611.  
  4612.  
  4613. &lt;p&gt;He was dismissed without notice and barred from policing for gross misconduct.&lt;/p&gt;
  4614.  
  4615.  
  4616.  
  4617. &lt;p&gt;AC Taylor added: &amp;#8220;I do of course understand his remorse and am grateful for his acknowledgement of the impact of this matter.&lt;/p&gt;
  4618.  
  4619.  
  4620.  
  4621. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;However, the gravity of PC Adebiyi’s behaviour means that I do not consider that any sanction less than dismissal without notice is justified.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4622.  
  4623.  
  4624.  
  4625. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/&quot;&gt;Metropolitan Police &lt;/a&gt;said: &amp;#8220;On Sunday, 17 March 2024, he was driving a marked police van. &lt;/p&gt;
  4626.  
  4627.  
  4628.  
  4629. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Whilst driving he was also eating food which was placed on the empty passenger seat next to him. &lt;/p&gt;
  4630.  
  4631.  
  4632.  
  4633. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;At approximately 1.33pm he collided with a member of public’s stationary vehicle causing extensive damage to both the police vehicle and the parked car.&lt;/p&gt;
  4634.  
  4635.  
  4636.  
  4637. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On Monday, 18 March 2024, he denied having been involved in a collision to the traffic sergeant and his line manager.&lt;/p&gt;
  4638.  
  4639.  
  4640.  
  4641. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On Monday, 2 September 2024, he attended Stratford Magistrates&amp;#8217; Court and he pleaded Guilty to Driving Without Due Care and Attention.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4642.  
  4643.  
  4644.  
  4645. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Chair found that PC Adebiyi had breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of Discreditable Conduct, Honesty and Integrity, and Duties and Responsibilities, and that these breaches amounted to Gross Misconduct,&amp;#8221; they added.&lt;/p&gt;
  4646.  
  4647.  
  4648.  
  4649. &lt;p&gt;It comes as other shocking moments have been caught on camera that left viewers gobsmacked. &lt;/p&gt;
  4650.  
  4651.  
  4652.  
  4653. &lt;p&gt;This it the terrifying moment&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31554120/moment-cops-chase-hammer-wielding-maniac-revenge-rampage/&quot;&gt; a hammer-wielding maniac goes on a rampage&lt;/a&gt; through the street as kids flee.&lt;/p&gt;
  4654.  
  4655.  
  4656.  
  4657. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the chilling moment &lt;a href=&quot;https://iframe.thesun.co.uk/news/29484701/horror-taxi-knife-attack-video-london-stabbing/&quot;&gt;machete carrying thugs attacked a man in the back of a taxi &lt;/a&gt;before the terrified driver raced away was also captured on CCTV.&lt;/p&gt;
  4658.  
  4659.  
  4660.  
  4661. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, people were horrified to watch the &amp;#8220;disgusting&amp;#8221; moment a McDonald&amp;#8217;s worker&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25006289/mcdonalds-worker-soaks-homeless-man-sleeping-bag-london/&quot;&gt; soaked a homeless man with mop water and kicked his sleeping bag&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5003. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OLD TRAFFORD chiefs are locked in a blame game over who was responsible for their summer shambles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  5008.

  5016.  
  5017.  
  5018.  
  5019. &lt;p&gt;The club’s recruitment strategy has also faced scrutiny following another &lt;span id=&quot;58e3881c-451c-4ad2-8ebe-308e98d566e7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; splurge of nearly £180million.&lt;/p&gt;
  5020.  
  5021.  
  5022.  
  5023. &lt;p&gt;Red Devils co-owner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-jim-ratcliffe/&quot;&gt;Sir Jim Ratcliffe&lt;/a&gt; and Co were set to get rid of Ten Hag after the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fa-cup/&quot;&gt;FA Cup&lt;/a&gt; final.&lt;/p&gt;
  5024.  
  5025.  
  5026.  
  5027. &lt;p&gt;They ended up extending his contract and employing a new coaching team around him following their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28133257/man-utd-city-garnacho-mainoo-fa-cup-final/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;162bf4f8-b54c-4d42-856b-78491160178e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Wembley&lt;/span&gt; win over City.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5028.  
  5029.  
  5030.  
  5031. &lt;p&gt;But the Dutchman was axed after just nine Prem games this season with United languishing down in 14th in the table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5032.  
  5033.  
  5034.  
  5035. &lt;p&gt;The former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1232664/ajax/&quot;&gt;Ajax&lt;/a&gt; chief’s staff were also dismissed — all with sizeable pay-offs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5036.  
  5037.  
  5038.  
  5039. &lt;p&gt;It cost around £15m to sack Ten&amp;nbsp;Hag alone, while they had to &lt;span id=&quot;a355108b-41e3-4164-8636-54f29897684c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;shell&lt;/span&gt; out&amp;nbsp;another £10m to bring Portuguese &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim&lt;/a&gt; in from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sporting-lisbon/&quot;&gt;Sporting Lisbon&lt;/a&gt;, including an extra fee so that he could cut short&amp;nbsp;his notice period.&lt;/p&gt;

  5044.  
  5045.  
  5046.  
  5047. &lt;p&gt;It has been a bumpy start for Ratcliffe, who bought a 27.7 per cent stake in United in February and was charged with running the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; side of the club.&lt;/p&gt;

  5127.  
  5128.

  5130. &lt;p&gt;Now they’re coming for our favourite footwear and Clemmie Fieldsend asks…&lt;/p&gt;
  5131.

  5139.  
  5140.  
  5141.  
  5142. &lt;p&gt;They are a staple item in most women’s wardrobe – if you are over the age of 30 that is.&lt;/p&gt;
  5143.  
  5144.  
  5145.  
  5146. &lt;p&gt;But while a chunky-heeled &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31255091/the-best-boots-on-the-high-street/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ankle boot&lt;/a&gt; is a simple way to winterise your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/fashion/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;wardrobe&lt;/a&gt; and will go with anything, it will also instantly give away your age.&lt;/p&gt;
  5147.  
  5148.  
  5149.  
  5150. &lt;p&gt;This was the boot of the Noughties — with style heroes from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-moss/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kate Moss&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alexa-chung/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alexa Chung&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rosie-huntington-whiteley/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rosie Huntington-Whiteley&lt;/a&gt; strutting around in mini skirts or drain pipe jeans with suede or nubuck boots complete with zip detail and square heel.&lt;/p&gt;
  5151.  
  5152.  
  5153.  
  5154. &lt;p&gt;But sadly, those days are gone — and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TikTokers&lt;/a&gt; are poking fun at our beloved ankle boots, along with wedge trainers, ballet pumps and even trainer socks.&lt;/p&gt;
  5155.  
  5156.  
  5157.  
  5158. &lt;p&gt;Videos of unsuspecting over-30s being filmed or snapped while wearing them have racked up 61.9million posts tagged “millennial shoes”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5159.

  5172.  
  5173.  
  5174.  
  5175. &lt;p&gt;And while I too was a fan, two decades on from my first pair, I have to agree.&lt;/p&gt;
  5176.  
  5177.  
  5178.  
  5179. &lt;p&gt;From an aesthetic perspective, there’s nothing sleek or stylish about them.&lt;/p&gt;
  5180.  
  5181.  
  5182.  
  5183. &lt;p&gt;They look and, as I recall, feel heavy and clunky.&lt;/p&gt;
  5184.  
  5185.  
  5186.  
  5187. &lt;p&gt;The toe is not quite round and not quite square, and the sides might have a non-functioning zip just for detailing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5188.  
  5189.  
  5190.  
  5191. &lt;p&gt;Or, worse still, a mix of faux suede and faux leather.&lt;/p&gt;

  5215. &lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong, I’ve not shunned the ankle boot altogether.&lt;/p&gt;
  5216.  
  5217.  
  5218.  
  5219. &lt;p&gt;I’ve just swapped to a more on-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/style/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;trend&lt;/a&gt; version — slightly higher above the ankle, a pointier toe and with a more delicate heel.&lt;/p&gt;
  5220.  
  5221.  
  5222.  
  5223. &lt;p&gt;I know, it sounds counter-intuitive to say kitten heels are the “new” way to go when they have been in fashion’s Room 101 for years.&lt;/p&gt;
  5224.  
  5225.  
  5226.  
  5227. &lt;p&gt;Searches for “ankle boots” are up 1,937 per cent this month, according to LTK which is an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;influencer&lt;/a&gt;-led shopping platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  5228.  
  5229.  
  5230.  
  5231. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Time for kitten heels&lt;/h2&gt;
  5232.  
  5233.  
  5234.  
  5235. &lt;p&gt;But it’s these sexier boots that the Gen Z fash-pack wants, not the retro comfort shoe that’s been in the back of your wardrobe for 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  5236.  
  5237.  
  5238.  
  5239. &lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong, I understand the need for practical boots when you’re a mum pounding the pavements with your buggy or quickfooting it around the supermarket.&lt;/p&gt;
  5240.  
  5241.  
  5242.  
  5243. &lt;p&gt;But that’s why the fashion gods invented trainers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5244.  
  5245.  
  5246.  
  5247. &lt;p&gt;In defence of the block-heel ankle boot, one TikTok user said: “OK, but have you spent all night dancing in a skinny heel vs a block heel? Give me the support, please!”&lt;/p&gt;
  5248.  
  5249.  
  5250.  
  5251. &lt;p&gt;And she’s right. In a sturdy block-heel boot, you could dance all night, stand in a club queue, walk on icy pavements, sprint for a kebab, run for a taxi, or even run home . . .  you could take on the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  5252.  
  5253.  
  5254.  
  5255. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866064&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/2024/11/45990353-04b1-4afa-884e-d3636392b79a.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a pair of black ankle boots with a gold heel&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866064&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;872&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;In the past, they were heavier and came with a clumpier heel&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5256.  
  5257.  
  5258.  
  5259. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31865805&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/2024/11/4222facf-0471-4545-817d-702dc1413de0.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a pair of brown boots with a pointed toe and a kitten heel&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31865805&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;948&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Now ankle boots come with a pointer toe and a more delicate heel&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5260.  
  5261.  
  5262.  
  5263. &lt;p&gt;But the kitten-heel boot is almost as comfortable (although not so sturdy on ice).&lt;/p&gt;
  5264.  
  5265.  
  5266.  
  5267. &lt;p&gt;And they just look sexier.&lt;/p&gt;
  5268.  
  5269.  
  5270.  
  5271. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  5272. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  5273. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  5274. &lt;p&gt;Wearing these shoes has been a labour of love but ladies, it’s time to move on&lt;/p&gt;
  5275. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;
  5276. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Clemmie&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;
  5277. &lt;/div&gt;
  5278. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  5279. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  5281.  
  5282.  
  5283.  
  5284. &lt;p&gt;The old ankle boot was shorter up the leg, often sitting just below the ankle or on the ankle, shortening the wearer’s legs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5285.  
  5286.  
  5287.  
  5288. &lt;p&gt;The 2024 version actually gives the illusion of longer legs, despite the heels being smaller.&lt;/p&gt;
  5289.  
  5290.  
  5291.  
  5292. &lt;p&gt;Look to modern fashion muses such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/emily-ratajkowski/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Emily Ratajkowski&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dakota-johnson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dakota Johnson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5293.  
  5294.  
  5295.  
  5296. &lt;p&gt;I know how much love there is for the humble Noughties ankle boot.&lt;/p&gt;
  5297.  
  5298.  
  5299.  
  5300. &lt;p&gt;A quick glance down at most women’s winter footwear says as much — the block heels worn away at one side, a stud or two missing from the embellishment detailing, a scuffed toe.&lt;/p&gt;
  5301.  
  5302.  
  5303.  
  5304. &lt;p&gt;Wearing these shoes has been a labour of love but ladies, it’s time to move on.&lt;/p&gt;
  5305.  
  5306.  
  5307.  
  5308. &lt;p&gt;Keep your high and ankle-boot heels low (and narrow) if you want to avoid frumpy territory.&lt;/p&gt;
  5309.  
  5310.  
  5311.  
  5312. &lt;p&gt;I’d be inclined to abandon your slouchy, and fur-lined ankle boots this year, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  5313.  
  5314.  
  5315.  
  5316. &lt;p&gt;Introducing a stylish pair of kitten heel-boots will instantly give your winter wardrobe a makeover — and take years off your style age.&lt;/p&gt;
  5317.

  5442.  
  5443.

  5445. &lt;p&gt;But they could &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31337051/man-utd-transfer-target-alphonso-davies-breaks-silence-future/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;face competition from Man Utd&lt;/a&gt; for his signature.&lt;/p&gt;

  5502.  
  5503.  
  5504.  
  5505. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year it was revealed that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27875180/real-madrid-kylian-mbappe-florian-wirtz-man-utd/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Real Madrid chiefs wanted to add Wirtz&lt;/a&gt; to their ever-growing list of Galacticos.&lt;/p&gt;
  5506.  
  5507.  
  5508.  
  5509. &lt;p&gt;The 21-year-old is expected to cost around £125million next summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  5510.  
  5511.  
  5512.  
  5513. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30696761/arsenal-florian-wirtz-real-madrid-man-city-leverkusen-transfer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Arsenal and Manchester City&lt;/a&gt; are among the other clubs understood to be interested.&lt;/p&gt;
  5514.  
  5515.  
  5516.  
  5517. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29243261/man-utd-transfer-hijack-bayern-munich-germany-jonathan-tah/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bayern pushed to sign Tah this summer alongside Man Utd&lt;/a&gt; but failed to seal a deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  5518.  
  5519.  
  5520.  
  5521. &lt;p&gt;This time around, however, the German giants will also have to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona if they want to attempt another swoop.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5658.  
  5659.  
  5660.  
  5661. &lt;p&gt;“Qatar: The Supercard is a ginormous event, with a gigantic main event between Gib and Slim, it’s a fight the fans have wanted for years, and it’s a feud that is dripping with bad blood.&lt;/p&gt;
  5662.  
  5663.  
  5664.  
  5665. &lt;p&gt;“Ever since their intense face-off in Newcastle, the fans have been waiting, in anticipation, for us to confirm the date and location for this titanic tussle.&lt;/p&gt;
  5666.  
  5667.  
  5668.  
  5669. &lt;p&gt;“And now we can: November 28, in Doha, Qatar, one of the biggest fights in crossover boxing history takes place, headlining a very special night of Misfits Boxing.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5702. &lt;p&gt;THERMAL clothing – what was once drab long johns and off-white vests – used to be something that was worn but rarely seen.&lt;/p&gt;
  5703.  
  5704.  
  5705.  
  5706. &lt;p&gt;But we are in the middle of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31169423/lidl-new-thermal-clothing-range-jackets-leggings/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;thermal&lt;/a&gt; revolution, with dowdy undergarms being given a total revamp.&lt;/p&gt;

  5714. &lt;p&gt;Here, we pick thermal clobber that actually looks cool, while model Didi Danso decides if they are hot or not.&lt;/p&gt;
  5715.  
  5716.  
  5717.  
  5718. &lt;p&gt;Plus, our thermal camera reveals which items keep you toastiest – with the deeper purple shades showing the highest heat retention, and the lightest yellow and white showing heat loss.&lt;/p&gt;

  5731.  
  5732.  
  5733.  
  5734. &lt;p&gt;EVERYTHING Didi is wearing is from Damart’s thermal section which has a tab on its website.&lt;/p&gt;
  5735.  
  5736.  
  5737.  
  5738. &lt;p&gt;The products are called Thermolactyl and are graded from soft to intense warmth so you can decide just how toasty you want to be.&lt;/p&gt;
  5739.  
  5740.  
  5741.  
  5742. &lt;p&gt;The thermal camera image is showing lots of heat coming from Didi’s body thanks to the thermals, but the purple area in particular is where the heat is being retained the most.&lt;/p&gt;
  5743.  
  5744.  
  5745.  
  5746. &lt;p&gt;Didi says: “The thermal coat feels really warm even though the material is quite thin, and the clothes actually warm up after a few minutes of wearing them which is unusual but feels good. My whole body felt warm but they have gone for practicality over style.”&lt;/p&gt;

  5794. &lt;p&gt;Here, Didi is wearing a top and tights and you can see from the thermal image that they do retain some heat.&lt;/p&gt;
  5795.  
  5796.  
  5797.  
  5798. &lt;p&gt;However, the hue is closer to yellow than orange on the shins.&lt;/p&gt;
  5799.

  5801.  
  5802. &lt;p&gt;This look proves you can style thermals with skirts or dresses for an everyday look.&lt;/p&gt;
  5803.  
  5804.  
  5805.  
  5806. &lt;p&gt;Didi says: “The tights and the top are warm ­– you can definitely tell they are the thermal pieces in this look and the fabric feels warm and snug.&lt;/p&gt;
  5807.  
  5808.  
  5809.  
  5810. &lt;p&gt;“The coat isn’t specifically thermal but it’s got feather down and it’s one of the warmest. The pockets in the coat are fleece-lined which makes a difference.”&lt;/p&gt;

  5834. &lt;p&gt;YES, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/primark/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Primark&lt;/a&gt; sells thermals. They are mainly in base layers – the coat and scarf are from the budget brand’s regular range.&lt;/p&gt;
  5835.  
  5836.  
  5837.  
  5838. &lt;p&gt;But if you’re looking for thermals under £10 there are some great options and our image shows they do retain heat, with the yellow darker on the legs and an orangey colour on the chest where her coat is opening.&lt;/p&gt;
  5839.  
  5840.  
  5841.  
  5842. &lt;p&gt;Didi says: “This is quite cosy. I didn’t think it would be as it was from Primark but they’ve not scrimped on the design as I do feel warm on my body.&lt;/p&gt;
  5843.

  5934. &lt;p&gt;Didi says: “These joggers have a fleece lining and keep my legs warmer than the tights or leggings from the other brands.

  5966. &lt;p&gt;A GUITAR bought by a teenaged George Harrison for £58 has sold for more than £1million.&lt;/p&gt;
  5967.  
  5968.  
  5969.  
  5970. &lt;p&gt;The Beatle was a 16-year-old apprentice electrician when his mum agreed a hire-purchase deal for the Futurama electric guitar in 1959.&lt;/p&gt;
  5971.  
  5972.  
  5973.  
  5974. &lt;p&gt;Harrison played it in more than 320 shows at Liverpool’s Cavern Club and numerous times in Hamburg, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196710/germany/&quot;&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt;, in 1960 and 1961.&lt;/p&gt;
  5975.  
  5976.  
  5977.  
  5978. &lt;p&gt;In 1964 it was offered as a competition prize but the winner, AJ Thompson of East &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sussex/&quot;&gt;Sussex&lt;/a&gt;, chose to take £100 cash instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  5979.  
  5980.  
  5981.  
  5982. &lt;p&gt;Harrison died aged 58 in 2001.&lt;/p&gt;
  5983.  
  5984.  
  5985.  
  5986. &lt;p&gt;The Futurama passed to a collector in 2019 and set a record for Harrison’s guitars when it fetched £1.03million in Nashville, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tennessee/&quot;&gt;Tennessee&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5987.  
  5988.  
  5989.  
  5990. &lt;p&gt;Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/auctions/&quot;&gt;Auctions&lt;/a&gt;, said the figure set a world record for the highest sale of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/george-harrison/&quot;&gt;George Harrison&lt;/a&gt; guitar.&lt;/p&gt;
  5991.  
  5992.  
  5993.  
  5994. &lt;p&gt;“George Harrison’s iconic Futurama guitar, one of the most important guitars in rock and roll &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt; and formative to The Beatles’ sound, has made history at today’s auction,” Mr Nolan said.&lt;/p&gt;
  5995.  
  5996.  
  5997.  
  5998. &lt;p&gt;“We’re beyond thrilled to add this Harrison guitar to the Julien’s Auctions’ million-dollar club, which already includes guitars from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/john-lennon/&quot;&gt;John Lennon&lt;/a&gt;, Eric Clapton, and Kurt Cobain.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5999.  
  6000.  
  6001.  
  6002. &lt;p&gt;Julien’s Auctions also sold John Lennon’s Hootenanny acoustic guitar this year for £2.3million.&lt;/p&gt;

  6104. &lt;p&gt;“He is romantic in ways, we’re not the lovey-dovey couple in public but little things like that I think it keeps the ­relationship alive and it’s ­special when someone’s done something just for you, and the words mean something.”&lt;/p&gt;

  6300.  
  6301.  
  6302.  
  6303. &lt;p&gt;Not least among the rank-and-file staff, who are seeing their positions eroded and, in the worst-case scenario, extinguished&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; altogether with 250 redundancies.&lt;/p&gt;
  6304.  
  6305.  
  6306.

  6335. &lt;p&gt;The handling of former gaffer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/erik-ten-hag/&quot;&gt;Erik ten Hag&lt;/a&gt; has leapt to the top of the charts regarding bungling in 11 years since &lt;span id=&quot;0b0dd2c7-60c8-4a34-acf9-ef511f2af6bc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Fergie&lt;/span&gt; retired and the bar is already pretty high.&lt;/p&gt;

  6359. &lt;p&gt;To cut a long story short, they wanted him out, couldn’t find anyone to replace him, asked him to stay, extended his contract, spent millions on a new coaching team at the &lt;span id=&quot;e2053a9b-0d9a-462f-9f88-31dd0ba47644&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Theatre&lt;/span&gt; of Dreams and then spent another &lt;strong&gt;£172.1MILLION&lt;/strong&gt; in the transfer market.&lt;/p&gt;
  6360.  
  6361.  
  6362.  
  6363. &lt;p&gt;Just 11 games into the new season, the hierarchy decided they would once again return to square one at great expense, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31368652/erik-ten-hag-pay-off-private-jet-sacking/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;pay-offs for all those going out&lt;/a&gt; and a release clause fee for the new bloke coming in.&lt;/p&gt;
  6364.  
  6365.  
  6366.  
  6367. &lt;p&gt;Now, questions are being asked internally at the highest level about how they got to this position, with fingers metaphorically pointed across the boardroom table.&lt;/p&gt;
  6368.  
  6369.  
  6370.  
  6371. &lt;p&gt;Sir Jim has effectively washed his hands of it all, having claimed when questions about Ten Hag’s &lt;span id=&quot;efcc7057-42b5-4ccf-a5d2-f3c7a05f8ee3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; intensified, that it &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30872004/sir-jim-ratcliffe-man-utd-erik-ten-hag-sacked/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;wasn’t on him to provide the answers&lt;/a&gt; as they had a new senior management team in place to do all that.&lt;/p&gt;
  6372.  
  6373.  
  6374.  
  6375. &lt;p&gt;That team includes Omar Berrada, the CEO poached from rivals &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;c0749371-272f-44c6-84c1-2a5871dc795d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/span&gt; City&lt;/a&gt;, who were not exactly tying him to the Etihad’s gates&amp;nbsp;to stop him from going, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31446942/dan-ashworth-newcastle-man-utd/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dan Ashworth&lt;/a&gt;, the sporting director, who was good lower down the league on a budget.&lt;/p&gt;

  6398. &lt;div&gt;
  6399. &lt;p&gt;RUBEN AMORIM would have preferred to leave Lisbon in a blaze of glory after winning a third Primeira Liga title.&lt;/p&gt;
  6400. &lt;p&gt;Yet football does not work like that. And in what was surely his final game before taking charge of Manchester United, Amorim prepared to say his goodbyes at a half-empty Estadio Jose Alvalade in a League Cup quarter-final against Nacional.&lt;/p&gt;
  6401. &lt;p&gt;Sporting won 3-1 thanks to&amp;nbsp; second-half goals by captain&amp;nbsp; Morten Hjulmand and Viktor Gyokeres, who scored two.&lt;/p&gt;
  6402. &lt;p&gt;Luis Esteves pulled back for Madeira-based Nacional.&lt;/p&gt;
  6403. &lt;p&gt;The stadium&amp;nbsp; will be a good deal more lively on Tuesday when Manchester City are here for&amp;nbsp; a Champions League match — although Amorim should by then have his feet firmly under his desk at Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  6404. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool and Aston Villa were both interested in Europe’s most sought-after coach. Even City could have been a possible destination post-Pep Guardiola.&lt;/p&gt;
  6405. &lt;p&gt;Yet the United job is one Amorim, 39,&amp;nbsp; could not turn&amp;nbsp; down — even if not everyone saw it that way at Sporting last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  6406. &lt;p&gt;There is clearly a huge split in the Portuguese club’s fan base over their coach leaving at this stage of the season with many believing he should have seen the job through.&lt;/p&gt;
  6407. &lt;p&gt;Yet Amorim, along with the three-man coaching team who are expected to follow him, leaves a club in a much better state than when he arrived here in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  6408. &lt;p&gt;Inside the stadium, there was applause — albeit muted — when his name was read out before the game along with the line-ups.&lt;/p&gt;
  6409. &lt;p&gt;And there did not appear to be any jeers when Amorim shuffled out from the tunnel awkwardly towards the dugout.&lt;/p&gt;
  6410. &lt;p&gt;So, while his departure is hard to take for some, none of the fans will forget his legacy.&lt;/p&gt;
  6411. &lt;p&gt;This is a club which is back as the dominant force in Portugal. Even this term, Sporting have won their first nine league games, scoring 30 goals and conceding just two.&lt;/p&gt;
  6412. &lt;p&gt;They are also eighth in the Champions League table, which is one hell of an effort.&lt;/p&gt;
  6413. &lt;p&gt;In contrast, Lisbon was not exactly hit by League Cup fever last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  6414. &lt;p&gt;Amorim made lots of changes, which saw Sporting’s star man Gyokeres, the former Coventry striker, start on the bench.&lt;/p&gt;
  6415. &lt;p&gt;There was, however, a first appearance in six weeks for former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards. &lt;/p&gt;
  6416. &lt;p&gt;He is certainly one player who has been transformed by Amorim since arriving at the club from Vitoria in 2022 and will be sorry to see the coach leave.&lt;/p&gt;
  6417. &lt;p&gt;While he changed his team, Amorim stuck with his tried and trusted formation of a back three.&lt;/p&gt;
  6418. &lt;p&gt;It will certainly be something Manchester United’s fans will have to get used to over the&amp;nbsp; coming months.&lt;/p&gt;
  6419. &lt;p&gt;But looking at the Premier League table, none of them will be complaining about the change.&lt;/p&gt;
  6420. &lt;/div&gt;
  6421. &lt;/div&gt;
  6422. &lt;/div&gt;
  6424.  
  6425.  
  6426.  
  6427. &lt;p&gt;All will undoubtedly have had a significant influence on the &lt;span id=&quot;0fd02eef-176c-400c-b597-4c5d40b7471c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; spending splurge, which failed to raise the team’s performance.&lt;/p&gt;
  6428.  
  6429.  
  6430.  
  6431. &lt;p&gt;The most bizarre transfer was the £36.5m paid to Bologna for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joshua-zirkzee/&quot;&gt;Joshua Zirkzee&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6432.  
  6433.  
  6434.  
  6435. &lt;p&gt;Ten Hag didn’t want him. He arrived a stone overweight and has scored &lt;strong&gt;ONE &lt;/strong&gt;goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  6436.  
  6437.  
  6438.  
  6439. &lt;p&gt;Apparently a&amp;nbsp;metatarsal problem showed up on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29282320/man-utd-leny-yoro-transfer-medical-bid-accepted/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Leny Yoro’s medical ahead of a £42m spend.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6440.  
  6441.  
  6442.  
  6443. &lt;p&gt;Lo and behold, in his second game of &lt;span id=&quot;e1abc84a-e4ae-4292-9e9d-b23e80076860&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pre-season&lt;/span&gt;, he got a metatarsal injury and has only just started training during the current international break.&lt;/p&gt;
  6444.  
  6445.  
  6446.  
  6447. &lt;p&gt;Then the question is why would &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bayern-munich/&quot;&gt;Bayern Munich&lt;/a&gt; let go of defenders &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/matthijs-de-ligt/&quot;&gt;Matthijs de Ligt&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/noussair-mazraoui/&quot;&gt;Noussair Mazraoui&lt;/a&gt; at a combined total of £51.3m up front, rising to a possible £59.5m, if they were that good?&lt;/p&gt;
  6448.  
  6449.  
  6450.  
  6451. &lt;p&gt;Only &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/manuel-ugarte/&quot;&gt;Manuel Ugarte&lt;/a&gt;, the £42.2m signing from &lt;span id=&quot;82399d97-5128-41ba-a2ef-b4285ad3cad5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Paris&lt;/span&gt; Saint-Germain, is looking close to being a United player, yet even he does not look a step up from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/scott-mctominay/&quot;&gt;Scott McTominay&lt;/a&gt;, who left for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1395978/napoli/&quot;&gt;Napoli&lt;/a&gt; and is ripping it up.&lt;/p&gt;

  6463. &lt;p&gt;The spending means Amorim’s ability to do anything in the &lt;span id=&quot;38b6f5c5-ac38-44d9-beee-3817326d6314&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; transfer window&amp;nbsp;will be restricted unless he can shift players, but who is going to buy anyone from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/old-trafford/&quot;&gt;Old Trafford&lt;/a&gt; right now?&lt;/p&gt;
  6464.  
  6465.  
  6466.  
  6467. &lt;p&gt;All this time behind the scenes, the ship is far from happy, with staff unceremoniously thrown overboard in a penny-pinching purge. &lt;/p&gt;
  6468.  
  6469.  
  6470.  
  6471. &lt;p&gt;It has even led to chefs pulling their &lt;span id=&quot;481981e6-a7de-4e03-b5e1-d1fe9b4d9d24&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/span&gt; out to try to cover matchday hospitality on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18846044/erik-ten-hag-man-utd-rebuild/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;reduced budgets and staffing levels.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6472.  
  6473.  
  6474.  
  6475. &lt;p&gt;Long-standing employees feel like they have been cast aside like rubbish.&lt;/p&gt;
  6476.  
  6477.  
  6478.  
  6479. &lt;p&gt;The most alarming story came when a staff member with 25 years at the club behind him was told he was being given a commemorative watch for his service.&lt;/p&gt;
  6480.  
  6481.  
  6482.  
  6483. &lt;p&gt;He was then told to pick it up at&amp;nbsp;main reception, where a security guard handed it to him in a polythene bag. &lt;/p&gt;
  6484.  
  6485.  
  6486.  
  6487. &lt;p&gt;That’s a picture to show the grandkids in the &lt;span id=&quot;eabd2569-0934-4a0c-8d10-7fd09152d1d3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6488.  
  6489.  
  6490.  
  6491. &lt;p&gt;An award-winning journalist is currently tasked with shadowing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-jim-ratcliffe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Jim&lt;/a&gt; and his new regime for a book on how they turned United around. &lt;/p&gt;
  6492.  
  6493.  
  6494.  
  6495. &lt;p&gt;It may end up being a work of fiction.&lt;/p&gt;
  6496.  
  6497.  
  6498.  
  6499. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  6500. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  6501. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man Utd&lt;/h3&gt;
  6502. &lt;/div&gt;
  6503. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  6504. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content-img&quot;&gt;
  6505. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20210511_crod8068_2021051442159101-JS712162550.jpg?strip=all&amp;&amp;w=620&amp;&amp;h=413&amp;&amp;crop=1&quot; width=&quot;620&quot; height=&quot;413&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
  6508. &lt;div&gt;
  6509. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/jordan-davies/&quot;&gt;Jordan Davies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6510. &lt;p&gt;Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.&lt;/p&gt;
  6511. &lt;p&gt;But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  6512. &lt;p&gt;Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.&lt;/p&gt;
  6513. &lt;p&gt;He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6514. &lt;p&gt;The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.&lt;/p&gt;
  6515. &lt;p&gt;And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  6516. &lt;p&gt;Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.&lt;/p&gt;
  6517. &lt;p&gt;Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6518. &lt;p&gt;United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won&amp;#8217;t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6519. &lt;p&gt;And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.&lt;/p&gt;
  6520. &lt;p&gt;For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.&lt;/p&gt;
  6521. &lt;/div&gt;
  6522. &lt;/div&gt;

  6568. &lt;p&gt;A BELOVED bargain high street shop has slashed the price of a home essential that is ideal for the chilly winter days ahead.&lt;/p&gt;
  6569.  
  6570.  
  6571.  
  6572. &lt;p&gt;Shoppers are being urged to invest into a heated airer to help them save £100s on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy-bills/&quot;&gt;energy bills&lt;/a&gt; with one supermarket currently selling them for a 35 per cent discount.&lt;/p&gt;

  6581.  
  6582.  
  6583.  
  6584. &lt;p&gt;Customers are flocking down to their nearest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asda/&quot;&gt;Asda&lt;/a&gt; stores to pick up the Silver Heated Winged Clothes Airer from George.&lt;/p&gt;
  6585.  
  6586.  
  6587.  
  6588. &lt;p&gt;The easy to use product is normally sold for £40 but Asda is currently running a tempting offer with it being available for only £26.&lt;/p&gt;
  6589.  
  6590.  
  6591.  
  6592. &lt;p&gt;It weighs just 5kg and can be easily folded up for storage like a regular drying rack.&lt;/p&gt;
  6593.  
  6594.  
  6595.  
  6596. &lt;p&gt;But what makes the aluminium Asda airer such a tempting purchase is that it comes with a built in heater.&lt;/p&gt;
  6597.  
  6598.  
  6599.  
  6600. &lt;p&gt;Simply set it up as usual and place your damp, clean clothes between the rungs before plugging it in to an electrical outlet in your home.&lt;/p&gt;
  6601.  
  6602.  
  6603.  
  6604. &lt;p&gt;After just a few minutes it will begin to heat up and leave your clothes perfectly toasty in just a few minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  6605.  
  6606.  
  6607.  
  6608. &lt;p&gt;It is also able to extend outwards through its clever winged design meaning you can always squeeze on an extra pair of socks of favourite t-shirt.&lt;/p&gt;
  6609.  
  6610.  
  6611.  
  6612. &lt;p&gt;The bargain find was quickly posted on social media to be enjoyed by others with hundreds tagging their friends online and urging them to grab the ideal festive item.&lt;/p&gt;
  6613.  
  6614.  
  6615.  
  6616. &lt;p&gt;One excited shopper told her mate: &amp;#8220;They are so good.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6617.  
  6618.  
  6619.  
  6620. &lt;p&gt;As another said: &amp;#8220;I need one asap.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6645.  
  6646.  
  6647.  
  6648. &lt;p&gt;The product has received amazing reviews with many even noting how much cash they have saved from not using their tumble dryer or turning on radiators to dry their clothes.  &lt;/p&gt;
  6649.

  6657.  
  6658.  
  6659.  
  6660. &lt;p&gt;For big families who do three loads of washing a week, that could mean you&amp;#8217;re spending £104.52 a year tumble drying your clothes.&lt;/p&gt;
  6661.  
  6662.  
  6663.  
  6664. &lt;p&gt;The electricity needed to power the airer is far less meaning you could save a lot of cash by switching to the gadget.&lt;/p&gt;

  6676. &lt;p&gt;The dehumidifier costs just 35p to run for an hour &amp;#8211; a considerable difference from running the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31815924/how-much-cost-leave-central-heating-on-all-night/&quot;&gt;heating for an hour&lt;/a&gt; which will cost £1.50.&lt;/p&gt;

  6697. TACKLING laundry in the winter can be a challenge, but these handy tips can help you stay on top of it... &lt;/p&gt;
  6699. &lt;div&gt;
  6700. &lt;ul&gt;
  6701. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use a Dehumidifier&lt;/strong&gt;: Place a dehumidifier in your drying area to speed up the drying process and prevent dampness.&lt;/li&gt;
  6702. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spin Cycle Boost&lt;/strong&gt;: Run an extra spin cycle on your washing machine to remove excess water from clothes, reducing drying time.&lt;/li&gt;
  6703. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indoor Drying Rack&lt;/strong&gt;: Invest in a good-quality indoor drying rack and position it near a radiator or in a well-ventilated room.&lt;/li&gt;
  6704. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tumble Dryer Balls&lt;/strong&gt;: Add tumble dryer balls to your dryer to help clothes dry faster and reduce static cling.&lt;/li&gt;
  6705. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Space-Saving Hangers&lt;/strong&gt;: Use space-saving hangers or a retractable washing line to maximise indoor drying space.&lt;/li&gt;
  6706. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microfibre Towels&lt;/strong&gt;: Lay microfibre towels over your drying rack to absorb extra moisture from hanging clothes.&lt;/li&gt;
  6707. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Partially Dry Outside&lt;/strong&gt;: On dry days, hang clothes outside for a short period before bringing them in to finish drying.&lt;/li&gt;
  6708. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6709. &lt;p&gt;These hacks can help you keep your laundry routine efficient and your clothes fresh, even during the colder months.&lt;/p&gt;
  6710. &lt;/div&gt;

  6950.  
  6951.  
  6952.  
  6953. &lt;p&gt;Argyle are geographically an outpost, have one of the league’s smallest&amp;nbsp;budgets&amp;nbsp; and their main ambition this season is simply to survive.&lt;/p&gt;
  6954.  
  6955.  
  6956.  
  6957. &lt;p&gt;Yet Rooney is winning over&amp;nbsp;hearts and minds in the&amp;nbsp;city with his down-to-earth, man-of-the-people approach.&lt;/p&gt;
  6958.  
  6959.  
  6960.  
  6961. &lt;p&gt;Whether it is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30159057/wayne-rooney-news-plymouth-argyle-karaoke-pub/&quot;&gt;singing karaoke with fans&lt;/a&gt;, dining out in the city, or visiting boozers for a few pints, he has immersed himself in Devon life.&lt;/p&gt;
  6962.  
  6963.  
  6964.  
  6965. &lt;p&gt;A club source told SunSport: “Wayne has really bought into Plymouth.&lt;/p&gt;
  6966.  
  6967.

  6969. &lt;p&gt;“He’s not come down to be a boss who hides away in his apartment — but wants to&amp;nbsp; feel completely connected to the fans and everything going on.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6970.  
  6971.  
  6972.  
  6973. &lt;p&gt;Due to Plymouth’s remote location in the south-west of England, Rooney has introduced starting some away journeys two days before matches.&lt;/p&gt;
  6974.  
  6975.  
  6976.  
  6977. &lt;p&gt;He likes to stop off halfway to games on Thursday to train before continuing the journey on Friday ahead of a Saturday fixture.&lt;/p&gt;
  6978.  
  6979.  
  6980.  
  6981.  
  6982.  
  6983. &lt;p&gt;This has not led to a win on the road yet but Home Park is becoming a mini fortress with just one league defeat.&lt;/p&gt;
  6984.  
  6985.  
  6986.  
  6987. &lt;p&gt;The ex-England star still takes part in training himself — and has left&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; players open-mouthed with his skills.&lt;/p&gt;

  7011. &lt;p&gt;Rooney often likes talking to his stars and staff about movies, holidays, family life, food and is always sharing little anecdotes away from the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  7012.  
  7013.  
  7014.  
  7015. &lt;p&gt;While we get to see &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;Coleen&lt;/a&gt; up close in the jungle, Roo is now making&amp;nbsp; a behind-the-scenes&amp;nbsp; documentary about managing Plymouth.&lt;/p&gt;

  7032.  
  7033.  
  7034.  
  7035. &lt;p&gt;He serves a touchline ban tonight but hit out at critics who reckon Rooney underachieved as gaffer at Derby,&amp;nbsp;DC United and Birmingham.&lt;/p&gt;
  7036.  
  7037.  
  7038.  
  7039. &lt;p&gt;Cleverley, 35, said: “We’ll catch up before and after as friends. He was one of the best players I’ve seen&amp;nbsp; and I’m happy to see us both trying to work our magic as coaches.&lt;/p&gt;
  7040.

  7108. &lt;p&gt;MAURA HIGGINS has reacted to the I&amp;#8217;m A Celeb camp after the former Love Island star flew out to Australia.&lt;/p&gt;
  7109.  
  7110.  
  7111.  
  7112. &lt;p&gt;Two new latecomers to this year&amp;#8217;s series made their debut at the end of Wednesday&amp;#8217;s episode, and within an instant of entering the camp, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot;&gt;former Love Islander Maura&lt;/a&gt; was already fuming over the living conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

  7125.  
  7126.  
  7127.  
  7128. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31819586/maura-higgins-not-well-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;Maura Higgins&lt;/a&gt; and Reverand Richard Coles were seen last night in a lavish hotel, with them heading straight to Snake Rock tonight before being given a secret mission.&lt;/p&gt;
  7129.  
  7130.  
  7131.  
  7132. &lt;p&gt;Snake Rock has been transformed into the Jungle Junkyard, with the pair having been given a two-ring hob.&lt;/p&gt;
  7133.  
  7134.  
  7135.  
  7136. &lt;p&gt;But although the camp has a hob, the junkyard also contains overgrown greenery, rusty corrugated metal, and of course, zero luxury.&lt;/p&gt;
  7137.  
  7138.  
  7139.  
  7140. &lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s safe to say that Maura is less than impressed by the living conditions she is faced with after leaving an opulent hotel, with the reality star firing expletives in a huge rant.&lt;/p&gt;
  7141.  
  7142.  
  7143.  
  7144. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;THIS CAMP SUCKS&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  7145.  
  7146.  
  7147.  
  7148. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s not liveable, we have nothing, this camp sucks,&amp;#8221; she fumed after seeing the camp for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;
  7149.  
  7150.  
  7151.  
  7152. &lt;p&gt;She then added, &amp;#8220;I’m going to ask Richard to say a prayer for us tonight because I’m gonna need one.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7153.  
  7154.  
  7155.  
  7156. &lt;p&gt;Then, Maura added, &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve definitely got the sh*t camp, so thanks for that. Jesus Christ. I tell you I saw this on a movie, there&amp;#8217;s a trick to doing this. &lt;/p&gt;
  7157.  
  7158.  
  7159.  
  7160. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Guys this is not livable, this is not livable. This camp sucks.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7161.  
  7162.  
  7163.  
  7164. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Reverend Coles, compared his new abode to some bins, admitting, how he once &amp;#8220;fell asleep by some bins outside Amnesia night club in Ibiza&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7165.  
  7166.  
  7167.  
  7168. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about his bin stint, Rev Coles said, &amp;#8220;I don’t remember much about it, but it’s that level.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7203.  
  7204. &lt;p&gt;Also revealed to the duo was a container reveals a hidden large sofa and a cargo box that opened with a large bathtub with bubbles, bath salts, and hot water.&lt;/p&gt;

  7206.

  7210.  
  7211.

  7227. &lt;div&gt;
  7228. &lt;p&gt;2019 Love Island star Maura, 33, will be a late entry to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31451647/im-a-celebrity-full-line-up-maura-higgins-coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;the jungle line-up.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  7230. &lt;p&gt;The duo will join the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/who/coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;Coleen Rooney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14114158/im-a-celebrity-2024-line-up-barry-mcguigan/&quot;&gt;Barry McGuigan&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14159222/mcflys-danny-jones-heathrow-joel-dommett-sam-thompson/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones &lt;/a&gt;in Ant and Dec’s jungle camp a week into this year’s star-spangled series. &lt;/p&gt;
  7231. &lt;p&gt;Yet initially the duo will have their own private base &amp;#8211; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31843045/first-look-maura-higgins-richard-coles-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;a secret mission&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; before heading into the main compound Down Under.&lt;/p&gt;
  7232. &lt;p&gt;Maura has already described the jungle as &amp;#8220;hell.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7233. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile Richard, who has starred on Strictly, has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31818603/rev-richard-coles-biggest-fear-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;confessed his biggest &amp;#8220;fear.&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  7238.  
  7239.  
  7240.  
  7241. &lt;p&gt;And to be successful overall, they were told that they had to convince the celebs in the main camp that they were roughing it in the Jungle Junkyard.&lt;/p&gt;
  7242.

  7295.  
  7296.  
  7297.  
  7298.  
  7299.  
  7300.  
  7301.  
  7302.  
  7303.  
  7304. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;End this farce&lt;/h2&gt;
  7305.  
  7306.  
  7307.  
  7308. &lt;p&gt;THE “non-crime hate incident” is a ­modern invention both sinister and yet monstrously absurd. It must be scrapped.&lt;/p&gt;
  7309.  
  7310.  
  7311.  
  7312. &lt;p&gt;This mad concept flourished under the Tories, to their shame. But Labour politicians, ideologically committed to shaping and now policing the public’s behaviour, have doubled-down.&lt;/p&gt;
  7313.  
  7314.  
  7315.  
  7316. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867738&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/2024/11/man-getting-haircut-local-hairdressing-951023128.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man is getting his hair cut by a barber&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867738&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;639&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Police have probed &amp;#8216;hate&amp;#8217; complaints including one about a dodgy haircut[/caption]
  7317.  
  7318.  
  7319.  
  7320. &lt;p&gt;The NCHI allows anyone to trigger a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; probe into any interaction they feel was motivated by hostility towards someone’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/race/&quot;&gt;race&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/religion/&quot;&gt;religion&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disability/&quot;&gt;disability&lt;/a&gt; or sexual preference. No evidence is needed.&lt;/p&gt;
  7321.  
  7322.  
  7323.  
  7324. &lt;p&gt;It is nothing but a charter for snowflakes and vexatious troublemakers.&lt;/p&gt;
  7325.  
  7326.  
  7327.  
  7328. &lt;p&gt;Among the jaw-dropping examples, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31867648/police-wasting-time-probing-hate-crimes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;a bloke who thought a barber cut his hair roughly&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  7329.  
  7330.  
  7331.  
  7332. &lt;p&gt;A German offended by the word “Rottweiler”. A man mysteriously branded a “Leonard”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7333.  
  7334.  
  7335.  
  7336. &lt;p&gt;All contacted police, like thousands of other “non-crime” claimants, revelling in their victimhood, seeking “justice”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7337.  
  7338.  
  7339.  
  7340. &lt;p&gt;Police, supposedly too stretched now to attend your burglary or nick shoplifters, obsessively log each one. &lt;/p&gt;
  7341.  
  7342.  
  7343.  
  7344. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866579&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 961px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/d96461b2-7c12-4021-ad9e-31c5095af75d.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=951&quot; alt=&quot;a woman sitting in front of a bookshelf with the letter y on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866579&quot; width=&quot;951&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Essex Police have dropped their case looking into Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  7345.  
  7346.  
  7347.  
  7348. &lt;p&gt;And Home Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/yvette-cooper/&quot;&gt;Yvette Cooper&lt;/a&gt; is still keen on this drivel, even as real &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; rises.&lt;/p&gt;
  7349.  
  7350.  
  7351.  
  7352. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile her Tory shadow &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-philp/&quot;&gt;Chris Philp&lt;/a&gt; says: “Police should only investigate or record actual criminal allegations, or incidents with a real and imminent risk of criminality subsequently occurring.” Which sounds right.&lt;/p&gt;
  7353.  
  7354.  
  7355.  
  7356. &lt;p&gt;The Met at least will surely have to give up on it. A monstrous budget cut is forcing London’s force to lose 2,000 cops and limit police station opening times.&lt;/p&gt;
  7357.  
  7358.  
  7359.  
  7360. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It cannot justify a single non-crime probe now. Can it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7361.  
  7362.  
  7363.  
  7364. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Clown court&lt;/h2&gt;
  7365.  
  7366.

  7369.  
  7370.  
  7371.  
  7372. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE farcical arrest warrant for Israel’s PM heaps disgrace and global ridicule on the International Criminal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7373.  
  7374.  
  7375.  
  7376. &lt;p&gt;Its claim that Benjamin Netanyahu is starving Gaza is ludicrous when Hamas gunmen routinely hijack supplies.&lt;/p&gt;
  7377.

  7400. &lt;p&gt;Let’s not forget — unlike the ICC — that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/israel/&quot;&gt;Israel&lt;/a&gt; is at war. A war against terrorists who hide beneath their own citizens, ­relishing their deaths as valuable PR.&lt;/p&gt;
  7401.  
  7402.  
  7403.  
  7404. &lt;p&gt;Hamas is to blame for every &lt;span id=&quot;2c3e3873-cdab-406e-89e8-266ecc37769c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;casualty&lt;/span&gt;. It ignited this conflict by massacring 1,200 Jews and still holds almost 100 hostage.&lt;/p&gt;
  7405.  
  7406.  
  7407.  
  7408. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Israel, the Middle-East’s sole democracy, is defending itself. Why should it live any longer within missile range of maniacs bent on Jews’ annihilation?&lt;/p&gt;
  7409.  
  7410.

  7426.  
  7427.  
  7428. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TO build its 370,000 &lt;span id=&quot;3d779949-f1dd-4b4b-b62d-deef205d8918&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/span&gt; a year, Labour will need to train a new army of brickies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7429.  
  7430.  
  7431.  
  7432. &lt;p&gt;So we applaud its £140million of fresh funding for 5,300 apprenticeships. &lt;/p&gt;
  7433.  
  7434.

  7506. &lt;p&gt;The panel that reviews PGMOL decisions claimed VAR made only TWO mistakes this season, before Webb later admitted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31338526/west-ham-man-utd-bowen-penalty-ten-hag/&quot;&gt;awarding West Ham a penalty against Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; last month was also wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

  7547. EXCLUSIVE by Martin Lipton &lt;/p&gt;
  7549. &lt;div&gt;
  7550. &lt;p&gt;NO referees or match officials have ever been tested for drugs &amp;#8211; as David Coote’s apparent “cocaine shame” is set to end his career.&lt;/p&gt;
  7551. &lt;p&gt;While all players and other athletes in British sport are subject to drug testing rules, including post-match and out of competition action, the regulations do not apply to match officials.&lt;/p&gt;
  7552. &lt;p&gt;That is the case globally across not just football and throughout the world rather than only in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  7553. &lt;p&gt;All sports follow the World&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/anti-doping/&quot;&gt;Anti-Doping&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Authority code, aimed at preventing athletes gaining an advantage by using performance-enhancing substances.&lt;/p&gt;
  7554. &lt;p&gt;The Wada banned list also includes recreational&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7555. &lt;p&gt;But the Wada provisions, also followed by UK Anti Doping, which conducts tests across British sport, makes no reference to match officials.&lt;/p&gt;
  7556. &lt;p&gt;UKAD explains: “Any UK athlete subject to the anti-doping rules of their sport and non-UK athlete staying, training, residing, entering a competition,&lt;/p&gt;
  7557. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Or named as a member of a team participating in a competition at any level within the UK is eligible for testing as part of UKAD’s national anti-doping programme.&lt;/p&gt;
  7558. &lt;p&gt;“Any athlete eligible for testing can be tested anytime, anywhere.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7559. &lt;p&gt;But the regulations do not apply to match officials &amp;#8211; because of the “performance enhancing” provision of the world code.&lt;/p&gt;
  7560. &lt;p&gt;The PGMOL have revealed they are aware of the video of him sniffing a white powder.&lt;/p&gt;
  7561. &lt;p&gt;They told The Sun: &amp;#8220;We aware of the allegations and are taking them very seriously. David Coote remains suspended pending a full investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  7562. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;David’s welfare continues to be of utmost importance to us and we are committed to providing him with the ongoing necessary support he needs through this period.&lt;/p&gt;
  7563. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are not in a position to comment further at this stage.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7564. &lt;/div&gt;
  7565. &lt;/div&gt;
  7566. &lt;/div&gt;
  7568.  
  7569.  
  7570.  
  7571. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7572.  
  7573.  
  7574.  
  7575. &lt;p&gt;“Ryan’s goal is open to interpretation. It’s the wrong decision because it’s not a clear and obvious error.&amp;nbsp; We are going to disagree on that forever.&lt;/p&gt;
  7576.  
  7577.  
  7578.  
  7579. &lt;p&gt;“For the second goal, they should take longer on analysing the foul from Craig Dawson because it’s a foul.&lt;/p&gt;

  7612.  
  7613.  
  7614.  
  7615. &lt;p&gt;PGMOL chiefs confirmed yesterday that they have yet to conclude their investigation into suspended Coote.&lt;/p&gt;
  7616.  
  7617.  
  7618.  
  7619. &lt;p&gt;The shamed 42-year-old made derogatory comments in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31749944/coote-referee-language-klopp-karren-brady-punch/&quot;&gt;an X-rated video rant at ex-Reds boss Jurgen Klopp&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7620.  
  7621.  
  7622.  
  7623. &lt;p&gt;A PGMOL statement read: “We’re following an internal process and taking the allegations into David’s conduct very seriously as part of our ongoing&amp;nbsp; thorough investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  7624.  
  7625.  
  7626.  
  7627. &lt;p&gt;“Whilst David remains suspended, his welfare continues to be important to us and he is aware of the support network available to him.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7628.  
  7629.  
  7630.  
  7631. &lt;p&gt;The FA have launched their own probe into Coote, while Uefa also suspended and are investigating the Nottinghamshire ref after footage emerged of him appearing to sniff white powder in a hotel at Euro 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

  7644.  
  7645.  
  7646.  
  7647. &lt;p&gt;Asked if the revelations about Coote would knock managers’ confidence in referees, Cooper replied: “I can’t go into that.” &lt;/p&gt;
  7648.  
  7649.  
  7650.  
  7651. &lt;p&gt;He then joked: “I’m more worried about what my dad would say to me if I answered that!”&lt;/p&gt;
  7652.  
  7653.  
  7654.  
  7655. &lt;p&gt;Martin added: “Referee are humans. They all make mistakes the same way we do. My trust probably eroded a bit more after the decision at Wolves than it did in watching a human make a mistake on a camera.&lt;/p&gt;
  7656.  
  7657.  
  7658.  
  7659. &lt;p&gt;“Let’s have a bit of compassion and understanding. I’m sure he’s feeling very upset and embarrassed about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  7660.  
  7661.  
  7662.  
  7663. &lt;p&gt;“What they do outside of their&amp;nbsp; football career as a referee really has no impact in how much I trust them.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7668.  
  7669.  
  7670.  
  7671. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No player or manager gets as much abuse on the pitch as a ref does – that’s crazy.&lt;/p&gt;
  7672.  
  7673.  
  7674.

  7899. &lt;p&gt;KARATE Kid Ralph Macchio gets a kick out of his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.&lt;/p&gt;
  7900.  
  7901.

  7903. &lt;p&gt;Ralph, 63, first played Daniel LaRusso in the classic 1984 flick, as well as TV spin-off &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/29148811/netflix-cobra-kai-ralph-macchio-karate-kid/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cobra Kai&lt;/a&gt; since 2018.&lt;/p&gt;

  7906.  
  7907. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868567&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/2024/11/ralph-macchio-william-zabka-ralph-950791390.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;two men standing next to each other on a red carpet in front of a sign that says maximus&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868567&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;Ralph was joined by co-star William Zabka[/caption]
  7908.  
  7909.  
  7910.  
  7911. &lt;p&gt;His star is next to the one for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12614474/pat-morita-karate-kid-mr-miyagi-actor-pat-death/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Pat Morita&lt;/a&gt;, who played Daniel’s teacher Mr Miyagi.&lt;/p&gt;
  7912.  
  7913.  
  7914.  
  7915. &lt;p&gt;He died in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
  7916.  
  7917.  
  7918.  
  7919. &lt;p&gt;Ralph, joined in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/los-angeles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;LA&lt;/a&gt; by co-star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12512736/cobra-kai-william-zabka-karate-kid-age-now/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;William Zabka&lt;/a&gt;, said: “It means the world to me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7920.  
  7921.  
  7922.  
  7923. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12483735/ralph-macchio-karate-kid-age-now/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Although&amp;nbsp;he played&amp;nbsp;a high school student&lt;/a&gt;, Ralph&amp;nbsp;was actually 22 when&amp;nbsp;he&amp;nbsp;made&amp;nbsp;Karate Kid.&lt;/p&gt;
  7924.  
  7925.  
  7926.  
  7927. &lt;p&gt;He reprised the role of Daniel LaRusso in the movie&amp;#8217;s sequels, The Karate Kid Part II and The Karate Kid Part III and was actually 27-years-old when the trilogy came to an end.&lt;/p&gt;
  7928.  
  7929.  
  7930.  
  7931. &lt;p&gt;Ralph landed the part after he impressed producers with his performance as Johnny Cade in the 1983 film The Outsiders.&lt;/p&gt;
  7932.  
  7933.  
  7934.  
  7935. &lt;p&gt;He currently stars in Cobra Kai, which is a Karate Kid spin-off show and reprises his role of Daniel.&lt;/p&gt;
  7936.  
  7937.  
  7938.  
  7939. &lt;p&gt;The series takes place 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
  7940.  
  7941.  
  7942.  
  7943. &lt;p&gt;A now successful Daniel struggles to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of Mr Miyagi.&lt;/p&gt;
  7944.  
  7945.  
  7946.  
  7947. &lt;p&gt;He must also face his previous adversary, down-and-out Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo.&lt;/p&gt;

  8008. &lt;p&gt;DOOM-scrolling and joining arguments on social media trap us in a cycle of bad mental health, scientists warn.&lt;/p&gt;
  8009.  
  8010.  
  8011.  
  8012. &lt;p&gt;They found that reading negative content online makes us unhappy — but we cannot resist looking at more when we feel down.&lt;/p&gt;
  8013.  
  8014.  
  8015.  
  8016. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/mental-health/&quot;&gt;Mental health&lt;/a&gt; issues are surging, with 3.8million people seeking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; help last year compared to 2.7million in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  8017.  
  8018.  
  8019.  
  8020. &lt;p&gt;A study by University College &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; says that the internet is adding to people’s woes and a digital detox could help.&lt;/p&gt;
  8021.  
  8022.  
  8023.  
  8024. &lt;p&gt;A survey of 1,100 web users found their moods deteriorated after being shown negative content.&lt;/p&gt;
  8025.  
  8026.  
  8027.  
  8028. &lt;p&gt;But when they were allowed to look at whatever they wanted later, those in a bad mood were likely to look for more misery.&lt;/p&gt;
  8029.  
  8030.  
  8031.  
  8032. &lt;p&gt;Study author Professor Tali Sharot said: “Our results show that browsing negative content not only mirrors a person’s mood but can actively worsen it.&lt;/p&gt;
  8033.  
  8034.  
  8035.  
  8036. &lt;p&gt;“This creates a feedback loop that can perpetuate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mental-health/&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; challenges.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8037.  
  8038.  
  8039.  
  8040. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/depression/&quot;&gt;Depression&lt;/a&gt; and anxiety are the most common mental health issues in Britain.&lt;/p&gt;
  8041.  
  8042.

  8044. &lt;p&gt;One in two people suffer with them at some point in their lives.&lt;/p&gt;

  8099. &lt;p&gt;BRITAIN’S biggest police force is set to lose 2,000 officers as a result of swingeing budget cuts.&lt;/p&gt;
  8100.  
  8101.  
  8102.  
  8103. &lt;p&gt;And 400 civilian staff &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt; could go as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Met&lt;/a&gt; slashes £450million from annual finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  8104.  
  8105.  
  8106.  
  8107. &lt;p&gt;Some London &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; stations will reduce opening hours to the public from 9am to 5pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  8108.  
  8109.  
  8110.  
  8111. &lt;p&gt;The 12.8 per cent reduction from this year’s £3.5billion budget is worse than “eye-watering” cuts feared by Met boss Sir Mark Rowley.&lt;/p&gt;
  8112.  
  8113.  
  8114.  
  8115. &lt;p&gt;Figures for the new budget are due to be announced at 11pm tonight by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Crime&lt;/a&gt;, alongside some of the tough measures that must be taken.&lt;/p&gt;

  8119. &lt;p&gt;Matt Cane, of the Police Federation, warned: “As we have said time and again, cuts have consequences. These will clearly have a significant impact on the Met’s ability to police London.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8120.  
  8121.  
  8122.  
  8123. &lt;p&gt;And retired Met Chief Supt Simon Ovens warned the cuts could mean the final straw for officers considering other careers.&lt;/p&gt;
  8124.  
  8125.  
  8126.  
  8127. &lt;p&gt;The Met is already projected to be down to 32,750 officers by March from its operating strength of 35,415.&lt;/p&gt;
  8128.  
  8129.  
  8130.  
  8131. &lt;p&gt;The loss of an additional 2,000 cops during the incoming financial year from April would put the force back to 2013 levels.&lt;/p&gt;
  8132.  
  8133.  
  8134.  
  8135. &lt;p&gt;Sir Mark said last week he was “deeply troubled” by talks over the annual settlement.&lt;/p&gt;
  8136.  
  8137.  
  8138.  
  8139. &lt;p&gt;He said the capital’s spending on policing per head of population was already lower than cities such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/new-york/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/sydney/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sydney&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8143. &lt;p&gt;This week &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/yvette-cooper/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Home Secretary Yvette Cooper&lt;/a&gt; promised a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31270958/british-policing-strengthen-model/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;crackdown on shoplifting, phone theft and anti-social behaviour.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8220. &lt;p&gt;Tonight, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31868073/im-celeb-dean-mccullough-makes-tea-ant-and-dec/&quot;&gt;Dean McCullough&lt;/a&gt; was tasked with completing the third Bushtucker Trial in three days, with the Radio One DJ thrown into the Lethal Lab &amp;#8211; but fans were quick to voice their concern for the star when they noticed &amp;#8220;blood&amp;#8221; on his face.&lt;/p&gt;

  8237.  
  8238.  
  8239.  
  8240. &lt;p&gt;Dean&amp;#8217;s trial was based at the jungle’s scientific research facility, and he started it in the experimentation area, having two minutes to complete an experiment that would be worth two stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  8241.  
  8242.  
  8243.  
  8244. &lt;p&gt;This was then followed by seven different containment areas, where more stars were up for grabs &amp;#8211; but would he complete them all?&lt;/p&gt;
  8245.  
  8246.  
  8247.  
  8248. &lt;p&gt;In the containment areas, Dean was not alone and was joined by cockroaches, crickets and mealworms, giant lizards, snakes, and spiders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8249.  
  8250.  
  8251.  
  8252. &lt;p&gt;After getting four stars in total, the next section was filled with fish guts and Dean immediately shouted:&amp;nbsp;“I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8253.  
  8254.  
  8255.  
  8256. &lt;p&gt;As he was released, Dean went back to camp to break the news to his campmates.&lt;/p&gt;
  8257.  
  8258.  
  8259.  
  8260. &lt;p&gt;Fans watching the show at home were then quick to spot how it looked as though Dean&amp;#8217;s lip had gotten injured during the trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  8261.  
  8262.  
  8263.  
  8264. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;INJURY ON AIR&lt;/h2&gt;
  8265.  
  8266.  
  8267.  
  8268. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Bless him for getting 4 stars tho. Also, has anyone noticed that Dean has cut his lip,&amp;#8221; penned one viewer on X.&lt;/p&gt;
  8269.  
  8270.  
  8271.  
  8272. &lt;p&gt;Another then said, &amp;#8220;Has Dean cut his lip?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8273.  
  8274.  
  8275.  
  8276. &lt;p&gt;A third added, &amp;#8220;Is it me, or has no-one noticed Dean&amp;#8217;s lower lip on the right side bl33ding?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8277.  
  8278.  
  8279.  
  8280. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why is Dean&amp;#8217;s mouth bleeding? Spider bite?&amp;#8221; asked a fourth.&lt;/p&gt;

  8304. &lt;p&gt;During the trial, Dean had to unscrew stars with his mouth, which might have caused the red mark on his lower lip.&lt;/p&gt;
  8305.

  8311.  
  8312. &lt;p&gt;But despite his suspected injury and his low star count, Dean&amp;#8217;s campmates were overjoyed to see the Radio One DJ return with some grub for dinner.&lt;/p&gt;
  8313.  
  8314.  
  8315.  
  8316. &lt;p&gt;The camp seemed to be rather pleased with his efforts and decided to treat him to a nice bath and pamper.&lt;/p&gt;

  8333. MAURA Higgins is a late entry to I&amp;#039;m A Celeb 2024. Yet who is joining her? &lt;/p&gt;
  8335. &lt;div&gt;
  8336. &lt;p&gt;2019 Love Island star Maura, 33, will be a late entry to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31451647/im-a-celebrity-full-line-up-maura-higgins-coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;the jungle line-up.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8338. &lt;p&gt;The duo will join the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/who/coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;Coleen Rooney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14114158/im-a-celebrity-2024-line-up-barry-mcguigan/&quot;&gt;Barry McGuigan&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14159222/mcflys-danny-jones-heathrow-joel-dommett-sam-thompson/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones &lt;/a&gt;in Ant and Dec’s jungle camp a week into this year’s star-spangled series. &lt;/p&gt;
  8339. &lt;p&gt;Yet initially the duo will have their own private base &amp;#8211; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31843045/first-look-maura-higgins-richard-coles-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;a secret mission&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; before heading into the main compound Down Under.&lt;/p&gt;
  8340. &lt;p&gt;Maura has already described the jungle as &amp;#8220;hell.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8341. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile Richard, who has starred on Strictly, has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31818603/rev-richard-coles-biggest-fear-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;confessed his biggest &amp;#8220;fear.&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8342. &lt;/div&gt;
  8343. &lt;/div&gt;
  8344. &lt;/div&gt;
  8346.  
  8347.  
  8348.  
  8349. &lt;p&gt;Reacting to the sweet moment, one viewer said on X, &amp;#8220;Dean getting a bubble bath courtesy of Alan and a shampoo from Danny for his job at the trial, oh Dean.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8350.  
  8351.  
  8352.  
  8353. &lt;p&gt;While a second said, &amp;#8220;I’ll tell you what, I’d go through that trial to be put in a bubble bath with Danny Jones massaging my head. What a lucky boy Dean is.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8354.  
  8355.  
  8356.  
  8357. &lt;p&gt;Another then fumed, &amp;#8220;So you’re telling me Dean gets 4 stars and got a bubble bath but when GKBarry got 9 stars she got nothing!!??&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8409. &lt;p&gt;I’M A Celebrity&amp;#8217;s Dean McCullough was caught breaking show rules tonight &amp;#8211; leaving hosts Ant and Dec unimpressed.&lt;/p&gt;
  8410.  
  8411.  
  8412.  
  8413. &lt;p&gt;The Northern Irish radio presenter, known for his cheeky personality, slipped a teabag into a pot of boiling water.&lt;/p&gt;

  8430.  
  8431.  
  8432.  
  8433. &lt;p&gt;He whispered his secret to Coleen Rooney first, before pouring six cups and shouting &amp;#8220;does anyone want water?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8434.  
  8435.  
  8436.  
  8437. &lt;p&gt;Confused, GK Barry asked: “Why are they dark?”&lt;/p&gt;
  8438.  
  8439.  
  8440.  
  8441. &lt;p&gt;Alan joked: “We got a bit of mud in the kettle but if you try it, it’s not too bad.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8442.  
  8443.  
  8444.  
  8445. &lt;p&gt;Fed up with the limited rations, Dean delivered the forbidden treat to his co-stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  8446.  
  8447.  
  8448.  
  8449. &lt;p&gt;But his actions didn’t go unnoticed by the show’s hosts, who caught wind of the blatant rule-breaking.&lt;/p&gt;
  8450.  
  8451.  
  8452.  
  8453. &lt;p&gt;Ant and Dec decided to conviscate half of the camp&amp;#8217;s treats that night.&lt;/p&gt;
  8454.  
  8455.  
  8456.  
  8457. &lt;p&gt;Melvin won 10 cupcakes in the latest camp challenge, but he was only allowed to return with five.&lt;/p&gt;
  8458.  
  8459.  
  8460.  
  8461. &lt;p&gt;Later, Dean was forced to give up his teabags.&lt;/p&gt;
  8462.  
  8463.  
  8464.  
  8465. &lt;p&gt;The radio presenter was covered in bugs and snakes in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31852500/im-a-celebritys-dean-moans-in-terror-bushtucker-trial/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;his latest Bushtucker trial.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8466.  
  8467.  
  8468.  
  8469. &lt;p&gt;He moaned in terror as he battled through the Lethal Lab after being voted by the British public again.&lt;/p&gt;

  8493. &lt;p&gt;Last night he failed to bring any stars home after taking part in Drown in the Dumps alongside GK Barry.&lt;/p&gt;
  8494.  
  8495.  
  8496.  
  8497. &lt;p&gt;The pair were gutted when they went back to camp with zero stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  8498.  
  8499.  
  8500.  
  8501. &lt;p&gt;The previous night Dean only managed to get two stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  8502.  
  8503.  
  8504.  
  8505. &lt;p&gt;The Radio 1 DJ was absolutely terrified as he took part in Sinister Sarcophagus.&lt;/p&gt;
  8506.  
  8507.  
  8508.  
  8509. &lt;p&gt;While standing in a mummy figure he had to unscrew stars with his mouth and drop them in a slot, all while sand was filling up and answering questions by Ant and Dec.&lt;/p&gt;
  8510.  
  8511.  
  8512.  
  8513. &lt;p&gt;After just two, he shouted &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m a celebrity get me out of here!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  8568. &lt;p&gt;A COMPLAINT about a “rough” haircut was logged as a “hate” incident by cops. &lt;/p&gt;
  8569.  
  8570.  
  8571.  
  8572. &lt;p&gt;In the barmy case, the upset punter blamed an argument about Ukraine for a bad trim. &lt;/p&gt;
  8573.  
  8574.  
  8575.  
  8576. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867738&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/2024/11/man-getting-haircut-local-hairdressing-951023128.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man is getting his hair cut by a barber&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867738&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;639&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Police have probed &amp;#8216;hate&amp;#8217; complaints including one about a dodgy haircut[/caption]
  8577.  
  8578.  
  8579.  
  8580. &lt;p&gt;Other so-called non-crime hate incidents logged by police include a German woman upset about being likened to a rottweiler. &lt;/p&gt;
  8581.  
  8582.  
  8583.  
  8584. &lt;p&gt;It comes as the cash-strapped Met faces axing 2,000 cops who could catch real criminals, and only opening stations from 9am-5pm. &lt;/p&gt;
  8585.  
  8586.  
  8587.  
  8588. &lt;p&gt;Last night Essex Police dropped a hate probe into journalist &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31864331/cops-drop-probe-journalist-allison-pearson/&quot;&gt;Allison Pearson&lt;/a&gt; over a year-old post — but only after putting her through 12 days of anguish.&lt;/p&gt;
  8589.  
  8590.  
  8591.  
  8592. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, a customer contacted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cops&lt;/a&gt; to say his barber was “aggressive and rough” because he spoke Russian.&lt;/p&gt;
  8593.  
  8594.  
  8595.  
  8596. &lt;p&gt;Similar bizarre cases saw officers called over a neighbour in a hedge dispute who said it was homophobic to brand him “Leonard”.&lt;/p&gt;
  8597.  
  8598.  
  8599.  
  8600. &lt;p&gt;As Britain’s biggest police force faces axing 2,000 cops, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-philp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp&lt;/a&gt; said: “The police should not waste any valuable time on incidents like this. &lt;/p&gt;
  8601.  
  8602.  
  8603.  
  8604. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is plenty of real &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; they should be preventing and solving.&lt;/p&gt;
  8605.

  8616. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  8618.  
  8619.  
  8620.  
  8621. &lt;p&gt;“An aggressively-administered haircut is not a police matter. &lt;/p&gt;
  8622.  
  8623.  
  8624.  
  8625. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The police should only spend time investigating or recording actual criminal allegations or incidents where there is a real and imminent risk of criminality subsequently occurring.&lt;/p&gt;
  8626.  
  8627.  
  8628.  
  8629. &lt;p&gt;“The Government needs to urgently update the guidance to ensure this is the case.&lt;/p&gt;
  8630.  
  8631.  
  8632.  
  8633. &lt;p&gt;“This nonsense undermines confidence in policing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8634.  
  8635.  
  8636.  
  8637. &lt;p&gt;A staggering 13,000 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31728182/children-non-crime-hate-incidents-police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;non-crime hate incidents&lt;/a&gt; (NCHIs) were recorded in the year to June.&lt;/p&gt;
  8638.  
  8639.  
  8640.  
  8641. &lt;p&gt;These are cases where no criminal offence has been committed, but the person reporting an ­incident feels it was motivated by hostility or prejudice.&lt;/p&gt;
  8642.  
  8643.  
  8644.  
  8645. &lt;p&gt;The Lithuanian haircut “victim” claimed he was targeted because he spoke Russian.&lt;/p&gt;
  8646.

  8649. &lt;p&gt;A City of London Police log of the incident, seen by The Sun, said: “Barber asked him about the present situation in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/ukraine/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ukraine&lt;/a&gt;, victim stated that all conversations with the barber were fine, but he stated that the barber was aggressive and rough whilst he was cutting his hair.&lt;/p&gt;

  8685. &lt;p&gt;“No wonder there is a crimewave in this country. The guidelines suggest you should only intervene in cases like this where there is fear of escalation — who ever had a fear of escalation after a bad haircut?!”&lt;/p&gt;

  8734.  
  8735.  
  8736.  
  8737. &lt;p&gt;“It is high time His Majesty’s Inspectorate stepped in to stop the recording of non-crime hate incidents. Either a matter is a crime or it is not. If it isn’t then police should not be involved.”&lt;/p&gt;

  8758. &lt;p&gt;BRITAIN’S biggest police force is set to lose 2,000 officers as a result of swingeing budget cuts.&lt;/p&gt;
  8759. &lt;p&gt;And 400 civilian staff jobs could go as the Met slashes £450million from annual finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  8760. &lt;p&gt;Some London police stations will reduce opening hours to the public from 9am to 5pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  8761. &lt;p&gt;The 12.8 per cent reduction from this year’s £3.5billion budget is worse than “eye-watering” cuts feared by Met boss Sir Mark Rowley.&lt;/p&gt;
  8762. &lt;p&gt;Figures for the new budget are due to be announced at 11pm tonight by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, alongside some of the tough measures that must be taken.&lt;/p&gt;
  8763. &lt;p&gt;Matt Cane, of the Police Federation, warned: “As we have said time and again, cuts have consequences. These will clearly have a significant impact on the Met’s ability to police London.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8764. &lt;p&gt;And retired Met Chief Supt Simon Ovens warned the cuts could mean the final straw for officers considering other careers.&lt;/p&gt;
  8765. &lt;p&gt;The Met is already projected to be down to 32,750 officers by March from its operating strength of 35,415.&lt;/p&gt;
  8766. &lt;p&gt;The loss of an additional 2,000 cops during the incoming financial year from April would put the force back to 2013 levels.&lt;/p&gt;
  8767. &lt;p&gt;Sir Mark said last week he was “deeply troubled” by talks over the annual settlement.&lt;/p&gt;
  8768. &lt;p&gt;He said the capital’s spending on policing per head of population was already lower than cities such as New York and Sydney.&lt;/p&gt;
  8769. &lt;p&gt;This week Home Secretary Yvette Cooper promised a crackdown on shoplifting, phone theft and anti-social behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  8770. &lt;p&gt;She pledged £500million for more cops, though did not specify if the figure included inflation rises.&lt;/p&gt;
  8771. &lt;p&gt;The Met said: “We maintain a productive dialogue with the Mayor and Home Office. No final decisions have been made.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8772. &lt;/div&gt;
  8773. &lt;/div&gt;

  9028.

  9030. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;METHOD: &lt;/strong&gt;Zest the oranges and lemon, then juice one of the oranges. Tip the brandy-soaked fruit into a large bowl and stir through the citrus zests and orange juice.&lt;/p&gt;
  9031.  
  9032.  
  9033.  
  9034. &lt;p&gt;Cover and set aside for at least three hours (or overnight).&lt;/p&gt;
  9035.  
  9036.  
  9037.  
  9038. &lt;p&gt;Preheat the oven to 140C, fan 120C, &lt;span id=&quot;f04def8b-0fc9-4a36-bbfd-6aba17ad19ad&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;gas&lt;/span&gt; mark 1.&lt;/p&gt;
  9039.  
  9040.  
  9041.  
  9042. &lt;p&gt;Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm traybake tin with baking paper.&lt;/p&gt;
  9043.  
  9044.  
  9045.  
  9046. &lt;p&gt;In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, light brown sugar and golden syrup for a few minutes until pale and fluffy.&lt;/p&gt;
  9047.  
  9048.  
  9049.  
  9050. &lt;p&gt;Crack in the eggs, one by one, beating well after each addition. Fold through the flour, mixed spice and salt until well combined. Chop the pecans, then stir through the cake batter with the soaked fruit.&lt;/p&gt;
  9051.  
  9052.  
  9053.  
  9054. &lt;p&gt;Scrape into the prepared tin, then level the surface with a spatula.&lt;/p&gt;
  9055.  
  9056.  
  9057.  
  9058. &lt;p&gt;Bake in the oven for 1 hour 45 mins to two  hours until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.&lt;/p&gt;
  9059.  
  9060.  
  9061.  
  9062. &lt;p&gt;Leave to cool completely in the tin.&lt;/p&gt;
  9063.  
  9064.  
  9065.  
  9066. &lt;p&gt;Once cool, remove the cake from the tin on to a board. Use a thin skewer to poke holes into the cake, then “feed” with 2 tbsp brandy. Wrap the cake in a double layer of fresh baking paper, then a double layer of foil.&lt;/p&gt;
  9067.  
  9068.  
  9069.  
  9070. &lt;p&gt;Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.&lt;/p&gt;
  9071.  
  9072.  
  9073.  
  9074. &lt;p&gt;Repeat the feeding every two to three weeks until you decorate, rewrapping each time.&lt;/p&gt;
  9075.  
  9076.  
  9077.  
  9078. &lt;p&gt;To decorate, warm the apricot jam in a small saucepan to loosen it.&lt;/p&gt;
  9079.  
  9080.  
  9081.  
  9082. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, dust your work surface well with icing sugar. Roll out the marzipan to slightly larger than the top of your cake.&lt;/p&gt;
  9083.  
  9084.  
  9085.  
  9086. &lt;p&gt;Brush the surface of the cake with some of the apricot jam, then carefully lift on the marzipan. Trim around the marzipan with clean scissors so it sits neatly on top.&lt;/p&gt;
  9087.  
  9088.  
  9089.  
  9090. &lt;p&gt;Dust your work surface again with icing sugar, then roll out the icing in the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
  9091.  
  9092.  
  9093.  
  9094. &lt;p&gt;Stamp out stars using different sized cutters. Brush the marzipan with water, then carefully lift the icing on top.&lt;/p&gt;
  9095.  
  9096.  
  9097.  
  9098. &lt;p&gt;Smooth over with your hand or a piece of leftover icing. Dot the back of any stamped-out stars with a little apricot jam and secure on to the cake as you wish.&lt;/p&gt;
  9099.  
  9100.  
  9101.  
  9102. &lt;p&gt;Slice and serve.&lt;/p&gt;
  9103.  
  9104.  
  9105.  
  9106. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total cost:&lt;/strong&gt; £14.20&lt;/p&gt;

  9160. &lt;/ul&gt;
  9161.  
  9162.  
  9163.  
  9164. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To decorate:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9165.  
  9166.  
  9167.  
  9168. &lt;ul&gt;
  9169. &lt;li&gt;240g icing sugar&lt;/li&gt;
  9170.  
  9171.  
  9172.  
  9173. &lt;li&gt;½ tsp vanilla essence&lt;/li&gt;
  9174.  
  9175.  
  9176.

  9186. &lt;/ul&gt;
  9187.  
  9188.  
  9189.  
  9190. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;METHOD: &lt;/strong&gt;For the shortbread dough, mix together the flours, nuts, icing sugar and baking powder, then pour into a mixer.&lt;/p&gt;
  9191.  
  9192.  
  9193.  
  9194. &lt;p&gt;Add the orange zest and butter cubes, pulsing to combine until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.&lt;/p&gt;
  9195.  
  9196.  
  9197.  
  9198. &lt;p&gt;Tip the mix into a bowl and gradually add the milk, bringing the mix together to form a firm dough. Wrap in cling &lt;span id=&quot;4d681417-f422-49a7-bb5e-88b5a317d765&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;film&lt;/span&gt; and leave to rest in the fridge for ten minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  9199.  
  9200.  
  9201.  
  9202. &lt;p&gt;Preheat the oven to 200C, fan 180C, gas mark 6. Line two large baking trays with parchment.&lt;/p&gt;
  9203.  
  9204.  
  9205.  
  9206. &lt;p&gt;Roll out the dough and cut out 24 biscuits, either using a decorative cutter or by dividing into rectangles.&lt;/p&gt;
  9207.  
  9208.  
  9209.  
  9210. &lt;p&gt;Divide between baking trays and bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove them from the trays and put them on a wire rack to cool.&lt;/p&gt;
  9211.  
  9212.  
  9213.  
  9214. &lt;p&gt;While the biscuits are cooling, prepare your icing.&lt;/p&gt;
  9215.  
  9216.  
  9217.  
  9218. &lt;p&gt;In a bowl, combine the icing sugar and vanilla essence along with two tbsp of milk.&lt;/p&gt;
  9219.  
  9220.  
  9221.  
  9222. &lt;p&gt;Beat the mixture until it turns pale and meringue-like – if you need a runnier consistency, just add an extra spoonful of milk.&lt;/p&gt;
  9223.  
  9224.  
  9225.  
  9226. &lt;p&gt;To create different coloured icing, divide the mixture between bowls and use the food colouring gels.&lt;/p&gt;
  9227.  
  9228.  
  9229.  
  9230. &lt;p&gt;To decorate, unleash your inner artist and use the coloured icing pens to create patterns and shapes.&lt;/p&gt;
  9231.  
  9232.  
  9233.  
  9234. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total cost:&lt;/strong&gt; £8.05&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  9837.  
  9838.  
  9839.  
  9840. &lt;p&gt;Here are the tips and tricks to get started.&lt;/p&gt;
  9841.  
  9842.  
  9843.  
  9844. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start Shopping Now:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Black Friday might be a week away but many supermarkets being running promotions the week before.&amp;nbsp;Lidl’s weekly offers&amp;nbsp;are live now with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/black-friday/&quot;&gt;Black Friday&lt;/a&gt; deals expected to drop on Monday 25 November. &lt;/p&gt;
  9845.  
  9846.  
  9847.  
  9848. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt; has offers on a limited number of products including a £12 dash cam and £200 50-inch TV, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesco/&quot;&gt;Tesco&lt;/a&gt; is offering the&amp;nbsp;Joie Roomie Glide Co-Sleeping Crib&amp;nbsp;for £50, down from £160.&lt;/p&gt;
  9849.  
  9850.  
  9851.  
  9852. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go Big:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Is your local supermarket on the small side? Then consider travelling to the nearest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/a&gt; park or supersized store. &lt;/p&gt;
  9853.  
  9854.  
  9855.  
  9856. &lt;p&gt;The bigger the store, the higher the stock levels so the more likely you’ll be to bag the very best bargains.&lt;/p&gt;
  9857.  
  9858.  
  9859.  
  9860. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be an Early Bird:&lt;/strong&gt; Check the store opening hours as they may differ to normal. Some stores will open extra early while others even offer 24-hour trading. &lt;/p&gt;
  9861.  
  9862.  
  9863.  
  9864. &lt;p&gt;There will be limited stock on the items with the deepest discounts, so get there as early as you can to increase your chances.  &lt;/p&gt;
  9865.  
  9866.  
  9867.  
  9868. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before You Begin: &lt;/strong&gt;Buy one small item like a pint of milk or a bottle of water and scan your loyalty card or app when you pay. &lt;/p&gt;
  9869.  
  9870.  
  9871.  
  9872. &lt;p&gt;This will tell the supermarket’s data system than you’re in the store and may trigger it to offer extra discount coupons or offers, which you can then use on your main shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  9873.  
  9874.  
  9875.  
  9876. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spend Points: &lt;/strong&gt;Saved up points on your supermarket loyalty card? Check your balance and see if you can use it to buy what you need.&lt;/p&gt;

  9900. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Or Save Them Up: &lt;/strong&gt;Alternatively, clock up extra points on your Black Friday shopping which you can then use in December for your festive fresh food shop.  &lt;/p&gt;
  9901.  
  9902.  
  9903.  
  9904. &lt;p&gt;Most stores won’t offer extra points over the Black Friday weekend so you can keep them for double-up days in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  9905.  
  9906.  
  9907.  
  9908. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target your big buys: &lt;/strong&gt;Black Friday sees supermarkets sell scores of big-ticket items they wouldn’t normally offer, such as super-sized TVs, air fryers, branded toys, washing machines or vacuum cleaners.&lt;/p&gt;
  9909.  
  9910.  
  9911.  
  9912. &lt;p&gt;Follow your favourite supermarkets on social media and keep an eye on the Sun this week too as we’ll bring you all the best offers. &lt;/p&gt;
  9913.  
  9914.  
  9915.  
  9916. &lt;p&gt;Once you’ve spotted what you want, get to the store and head straight to the relevant aisle. Buy this item before anything else so you’ve got it secured at the right price.&lt;/p&gt;
  9917.  
  9918.  
  9919.  
  9920. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy the Xmas Basics: &lt;/strong&gt;The mega-deals may grab the headlines but Black Friday is brilliant for securing all your everyday festive basics too. &lt;/p&gt;
  9921.  
  9922.  
  9923.  
  9924. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;733e843f-e749-47f3-b38b-266524fe460e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Snap&lt;/span&gt; up 3-for-2 discounts on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; cards, wrapping paper, sticky tape and Xmas decorations. Other offers include up to 60 per cent off artificial Christmas trees and festive lights. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  9925.  
  9926.  
  9927.  
  9928. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Freeze Your Spending:&lt;/strong&gt; This week, have an ‘eat-up week’ to clear out space in your freezer. &lt;/p&gt;
  9929.  
  9930.  
  9931.  
  9932. &lt;p&gt;You’ll save &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; and you can use the cash to buy festive food bargains. Items which are usually reduced over the Black Friday weekend include premium ice cream, &lt;span id=&quot;87f8fb7e-16fe-4f85-b1a7-bd554dd9b725&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;frozen&lt;/span&gt; turkeys and &lt;span id=&quot;a45c019d-bb76-4141-ba98-aa7e8e544038&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;frozen&lt;/span&gt; party food.&lt;/p&gt;
  9933.  
  9934.  
  9935.  
  9936. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boozy Bargains: &lt;/strong&gt;Get into the festive spirit with some serious savings on Christmas drinks. Over the Black Friday weekend, supermarkets typically offer up to a third off selected premium champagne and spirits, plus bumper deals on slabs of beer. &lt;/p&gt;
  9937.  
  9938.  
  9939.  
  9940. &lt;p&gt;Don’t drink? Don’t worry, there will be offers on low-alcohol drinks and fizzy pop too. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/iceland-2/&quot;&gt;Iceland&lt;/a&gt; is already offering five x 24-crates of 330ml fizzy drinks for just £40. That’s just 33p per can.&lt;/p&gt;
  9941.  
  9942.  
  9943.  
  9944. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Festive Food:&lt;/strong&gt; Nothing gets us in the mood for Xmas like a display of mouth-watering festive food. &lt;/p&gt;
  9945.  
  9946.  
  9947.  
  9948. &lt;p&gt;From mince pies to nuts to crisps to Christmas puddings, the Black Friday weekend is a chance to get your festive store cupboard sorted, all at knockdown prices. But before you by, check the use-by date so you know it will keep long enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  9949.  
  9950.  
  9951.  
  9952. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cut out and keep your coupons: &lt;/strong&gt;Most supermarkets offer a printed magazine, either at the checkout on in display baskets at the store entrance. This week, grab a copy and clip out the coupons to use on your Black Friday shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  9953.  
  9954.  
  9955.  
  9956. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deliver Yourself a Delivery Deal: &lt;/strong&gt;Love online supermarket shopping? Black Friday is the best time to bag a bargain on stores’ delivery passes. &lt;/p&gt;
  9957.  
  9958.  
  9959.  
  9960. &lt;p&gt;These handy deals can cut hundreds of pounds off the cost of online shopping delivery throughout the year. &lt;/p&gt;
  9961.

  10146. &lt;p&gt;A PREGNANT mum has revealed how she was left devastated after her family was duped into buying a rat-infested home.&lt;/p&gt;
  10147.  
  10148.  
  10149.  
  10150. &lt;p&gt;Sarah Arthurwears even explained that she had an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30495162/property-pro-tricks-sell-house-quickly/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;extensive survey &lt;/a&gt;carried out which didn&amp;#8217;t reveal the pests were in the home. &lt;/p&gt;

  10163.  
  10164.  
  10165.  
  10166. &lt;p&gt;Sarah started looking at houses when she and her partner were planning to have a third child and came across one that seemed suitable. &lt;/p&gt;
  10167.  
  10168.  
  10169.  
  10170. &lt;p&gt;She realised it needed some work, but &amp;#8220;nothing urgent,&amp;#8221; and the pair thought the house was habitable since someone was living there at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  10171.  
  10172.

  10175.  
  10176.  
  10177.  
  10178. &lt;p&gt;The mum revealed that it was a deceased estate, and the children of the elderly couple who had passed away were selling it.&lt;/p&gt;
  10179.  
  10180.  
  10181.  
  10182. &lt;p&gt;Sarah adds: &amp;#8220;One of the children, a man much older than me, was still living there. So, we assumed it was okay to live in.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10183.  
  10184.  
  10185.  
  10186. &lt;p&gt;Sarah had a full and extensive survey carried out on the house, and the &amp;#8220;only potential concern was that the surveyor couldn’t fully inspect the loft due to a sign indicating it wasn’t safe.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  10187.  
  10188.  
  10189.  
  10190. &lt;p&gt;She continues: &amp;#8220;He did manage to poke his head up and saw a few droppings, suggesting we query it. &lt;/p&gt;
  10191.  
  10192.  
  10193.  
  10194. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The vendors responded that a few years ago, a squirrel had gotten into the loft via the eaves. &lt;/p&gt;
  10195.  
  10196.  
  10197.  
  10198. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The hole had been blocked up, the squirrel removed, and there were no further issues.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10199.  
  10200.  
  10201.  
  10202. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The sale progressed steadily, but towards the end, the vendors stalled, causing us to miss the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/stamp-duty/&quot;&gt;stamp duty&lt;/a&gt; holiday. &lt;/p&gt;
  10203.  
  10204.  
  10205.  
  10206. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Consequently, we ended up paying thousands more than we had intended. &lt;/p&gt;

  10230. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Eventually, we completed the purchase and moved in. I was six weeks pregnant at this time.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10231.  
  10232.  
  10233.  
  10234. &lt;p&gt;But within the first three days of moving in, Sarah began to notice a strange smell, which she could only describe as &amp;#8220;cabbagey.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  10235.  
  10236.  
  10237.  
  10238. &lt;p&gt;She explained: &amp;#8220;The smell seemed to be getting stronger, but my husband insisted it was because I was pregnant. I also started noticing other unpleasant smells around the house.&lt;/p&gt;
  10239.  
  10240.  
  10241.  
  10242. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There was a cupboard in the kitchen with the boiler, and when you opened the door, the musty, musky smell was sickening. It was awful, so my husband agreed to call a pest controller to be on the safe side.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10243.

  10256.  
  10257.  
  10258.  
  10259. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Within five minutes of the pest controller&amp;#8217;s arrival and a quick inspection, he confirmed that we had not only a historic rat infestation but also a current infestation with live and decaying rats and numerous droppings.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10260.  
  10261.  
  10262.  
  10263. &lt;p&gt;Revealing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.arthurwears.com/2022/02/we-bought-rat-infested-house.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;on her blog, (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;on her blog,&lt;/a&gt; Sarah explained that the expert checked the perimeter of the house for entry holes and concluded that the rats were getting in via a drain rather than a hole above ground. &lt;/p&gt;

  10273. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10274. A SURVEY gives a detailed inspection into the condition of a property, highlighting any major repair work that’s needed. &lt;/p&gt;
  10276. &lt;div&gt;
  10277. &lt;p&gt;It can also help you decide whether or not you’re paying the right amount for your home.&lt;/p&gt;
  10278. &lt;p&gt;The reports are carried out by qualified surveyors and costs vary from company to company. There are also different types of surveys depending on the depth of the report that you want and your budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  10279. &lt;p&gt;These are the different types of surveys and their typical prices, according to the Homeowners Alliance:&lt;/p&gt;
  10280. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Condition report, £300 or more&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10281. &lt;p&gt;This gives a traffic light report to indicate the conditions of various states of the property &amp;#8211; green for okay, orange for cause for concern.&lt;br /&gt;The report provides you with a sumary of defects and possible risks but won’t provide any advice or valuations.&lt;/p&gt;
  10282. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HomeBuyers report, £450 or more&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10283. &lt;p&gt;On top of everything you get in the condition report, you’ll also get a valuation and an insurance reinstatement value &amp;#8211; which is an estimate of how much you’ll receive if the building were to burn down.&lt;/p&gt;
  10284. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home Condition survey, £400 to £900&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are carried out by the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA) rather than the&amp;nbsp;Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and includes information on broadband speeds, a damp assessment and boundary issues to consider. The price depends on the valuation of the property.&lt;/p&gt;
  10285. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building survey, £500 or more&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10286. &lt;p&gt;These are extensive reports where the surveyor will go into places such as the attic, check behind walls and look between floors and above ceilings. It will also provide advice on repairs, estimated costs and timings, and what will happen if you don’t carry out the repairs. Prices depend on the size of the property.&lt;/p&gt;
  10287. &lt;/div&gt;
  10288. &lt;/div&gt;
  10289. &lt;/div&gt;
  10291.  
  10292.  
  10293.  
  10294. &lt;p&gt;They were advised to get a full drain survey done to locate the entry points.&lt;/p&gt;
  10295.  
  10296.  
  10297.  
  10298. &lt;p&gt;She continued: &amp;#8220;He laid down some more rat poison but made it clear that unless we found the entry points, this would be an ongoing issue. &lt;/p&gt;
  10299.  
  10300.  
  10301.  
  10302. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He also advised us to try and get hold of the reports from the previous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pest-control/&quot;&gt;pest control&lt;/a&gt; company which the vendors used, to find out exactly what had been done and where the hole was that was sealed up. &lt;/p&gt;
  10303.  
  10304.  
  10305.  
  10306. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He made an appointment to come back in a few days and lay a different type of liquid poison in the loft once the entry points had been sealed up. &lt;/p&gt;
  10307.

  10319.  
  10320.  
  10321.  
  10322. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That night we could hear rats in our bedroom wall scratching furiously as if they were trying to break out.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10323.  
  10324.  
  10325.  
  10326. &lt;p&gt;Fast forward to now, with lots of work and spending over £2,000, the family has managed to eradicate the issue and rat-proof the house. &lt;/p&gt;
  10327.  
  10328.  
  10329.  
  10330. &lt;p&gt;Sarah explained: &amp;#8220;We have put extensive measures in place to ensure that the house is now rodent-proof.&lt;/p&gt;
  10331.  
  10332.  
  10333.  
  10334. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Such as: a full drain survey and drain repairs, one-way drain valves installed, all points of ingress filled in, water tank and boiler relocated from the loft/kitchen to the garage, full loft decontamination and re-insulation, new reinforced toilet waste pipes, and removal of encroaching foliage around the house.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10335.  
  10336.  
  10337.  
  10338. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  10339. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  10340. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Who is eligible for the First Home Scheme?&lt;/h3&gt;
  10341. &lt;/div&gt;
  10342. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10345. &lt;div&gt;
  10346. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ONLY first-time buyers can purchase a home under the First Home scheme and it&amp;#8217;s not available in Wales or Scotland.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10347. &lt;p&gt;As the scheme is aimed at helping buyers on lower incomes get on the property ladder, you won’t be eligible if your combined household income is over £80,000, or £90,000 if you live in London.&lt;/p&gt;
  10348. &lt;p&gt;Those who can afford to buy one of the homes without a mortgage will not qualify for the help.&lt;/p&gt;
  10349. &lt;p&gt;Buyers must use a mortgage for at least 50% of the price of the discounted home.&lt;/p&gt;
  10350. &lt;p&gt;However, further conditions can be set by local councils so the eligibility criteria may vary depending on where you&amp;#8217;re looking to buy.&lt;/p&gt;
  10351. &lt;p&gt;For example, some authorities may give key workers first dibs.&lt;/p&gt;
  10352. &lt;p&gt;But after the first three months of the homes going on sale, extra conditions set by the local authority will be removed for any First Homes which haven’t been sold or reserved.&lt;/p&gt;
  10353. &lt;/div&gt;
  10354. &lt;/div&gt;

  10398. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MANCHESTER CITY striker Khadija Shaw was bizarrely shown a yellow card after being hit by an object thrown from the crowd during Thursday&amp;#8217;s Champions League clash with Hammarby.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  10419.  
  10420.  
  10421.  
  10422. &lt;p&gt;But as she ran over to the corner flag to celebrate, she was struck by a projectile which appeared to be thrown from the home supporters.&lt;/p&gt;
  10423.  
  10424.  
  10425.  
  10426. &lt;p&gt;The striker looked over to the crowd to see where the object came from, but as she began walking back to the halfway line referee Silvia Gasperotti brandished a yellow card.&lt;/p&gt;
  10427.  
  10428.  
  10429.  
  10430. &lt;p&gt;Shaw looked completely perplexed as her team-mate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alex-greenwood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alex Greenwood&lt;/a&gt; attempted to question the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  10431.  
  10432.  
  10433.  
  10434. &lt;p&gt;However, Gasperotti just walked away before restarting the match.&lt;/p&gt;
  10435.  
  10436.  
  10437.  
  10438. &lt;p&gt;Fans on social media were equally confused as to why Shaw received a booking.&lt;/p&gt;
  10439.  
  10440.  
  10441.  
  10442. &lt;p&gt;One person wrote: &amp;#8220;Absolutely crazy decision from the ref.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10443.  
  10444.  
  10445.  
  10446. &lt;p&gt;Another commented: &amp;#8220;Just when you think you have seen the worst decision in women&amp;#8217;s football the refs just have to take it to a new level.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10447.  
  10448.  
  10449.  
  10450. &lt;p&gt;While a third said: &amp;#8220;Poor officiating, there has to be severe punishment for this incompetence.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10451.

  10455.  
  10456.  
  10457.  
  10458. &lt;p&gt;Other fans appeared to suggest that Shaw was booked for &amp;#8220;excessively celebrating&amp;#8221; in front of the Hammarby fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  10459.  
  10460.  
  10461.  
  10462. &lt;p&gt;One commented: &amp;#8220;She celebrated in front of Hammarby stand, that&amp;#8217;s why she got a yellow card.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10487.  
  10488.  
  10489.  
  10490. &lt;p&gt;Just four minutes after Ellen Wangerheim equalised for Hammarby, the striker fired a shot straight into the top-right corner from the edge of the box.&lt;/p&gt;

  10492.  
  10493.  
  10494. &lt;p&gt;The goal saw her become Man City Women&amp;#8217;s all-time top goalscorer in 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;

  10549. &lt;p&gt;The pair also owned the prestigious Ellory in Hackney, before that closed down after two and a half years.&lt;/p&gt;
  10550.  
  10551.  
  10552.  
  10553. &lt;p&gt;They were joined by another top chef, Sam Kamienko, and Leroy proudly achieved a Michelin star just months after welcoming customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  10554.  
  10555.  
  10556.  
  10557. &lt;p&gt;But now the beloved restaurant has officially turned off their ovens for the last time. &lt;/p&gt;
  10558.  
  10559.  
  10560.  
  10561. &lt;p&gt;In an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram &lt;/a&gt;post, the team said: &amp;#8220;It has been quite the ride but sadly nothing lasts forever.&lt;/p&gt;
  10562.  
  10563.  
  10564.  
  10565. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We fought hard against the dying of the light but sometimes there is a time to let go.&lt;/p&gt;
  10566.  
  10567.  
  10568.  
  10569. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our heart breaks not to be able to continue the journey but we can leave knowing that we did all we could.&lt;/p&gt;
  10570.  
  10571.  
  10572.  
  10573. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Despite what our government may think, this is a noble profession and indeed any small business owner has our enduring respect.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10574.  
  10575.  
  10576.  
  10577. &lt;p&gt;Fans were devastated to hear the news and hailed Leroy for its famous dishes.&lt;/p&gt;
  10578.  
  10579.  
  10580.  
  10581. &lt;p&gt;One penned: &amp;#8220;Don’t let this passing sadness overshadow your greatness &amp;amp; influence on the East London food &amp;amp; wine scene&lt;/p&gt;
  10582.  
  10583.  
  10584.  
  10585. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On the frontier of low intervention wine as it is today &amp;amp; defining the way we all dine now. You’re epic. Unforgettable. Definitive.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10586.  
  10587.  
  10588.  
  10589. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Filled with so much emotion and pride for you dearest bro @edonist_ldn.&lt;/p&gt;
  10590.  
  10591.  
  10592.  
  10593. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Shoreditch has lost a precious jewel in its crown!&lt;/p&gt;
  10594.  
  10595.  
  10596.  
  10597. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Leroy was a vibe. You and your stellar team nailed it all: the food, wine, ambiance, service &amp;amp; music, the @louisesheeran illustrations adorning the walls &amp;amp; iconic neon signage outside, the intriguing shape of the corner dining space….&lt;/p&gt;
  10598.  
  10599.  
  10600.  
  10601. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So much to commend &amp;amp; treasure. I will miss you Leroy and I will not forget you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10602.  
  10603.  
  10604.  
  10605. &lt;p&gt;Leroy was praised for its simple, French-inspired dishes that could be paired with any number of wines from their eclectic list.&lt;/p&gt;
  10606.  
  10607.  
  10608.  
  10609. &lt;p&gt;It was known as one of the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  10610.  
  10611.  
  10612.  
  10613. &lt;p&gt;But, it sadly lost its star in February earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10614.  
  10615.  
  10616.  
  10617. &lt;p&gt;The sudden closure highlights the ongoing struggles faced by the UK hospitality sector, which has been hit hard by soaring costs and dwindling support.&lt;/p&gt;
  10618.  
  10619.  
  10620.  
  10621. &lt;p&gt;This comes as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31832519/top-chef-close-michelin-restaurant-overnight/&quot;&gt;another top chef was forced to shut his Michelin-starred restaurant overnight&lt;/a&gt;, claiming the decision was completely out of his hands.&lt;/p&gt;
  10622.  
  10623.  
  10624.  
  10625. &lt;p&gt;The eatery shut over the weekend after the landlord &amp;#8220;made the decision to close&amp;#8221; the doors.&lt;/p&gt;
  10626.  
  10627.  
  10628.  
  10629. &lt;p&gt;The Collective, in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/leeds/&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt;, was celebrated for its modern take on British cuisine and had garnered a loyal following since opening.&lt;/p&gt;
  10630.  
  10631.  
  10632.  
  10633. &lt;p&gt;In a heartfelt statement, the team revealed they had been working on plans to relaunch in January but were blindsided by the closure.&lt;/p&gt;
  10634.  
  10635.  
  10636.  
  10637. &lt;p&gt;They said: &amp;#8220;It is with a heavy heart that we share this update with you.&lt;/p&gt;
  10638.  
  10639.  
  10640.  
  10641. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After long negotiations, the landlord made the decision to close our doors overnight.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10642.  
  10643.  
  10644.  
  10645. &lt;p&gt;Rogan and his team had intended to honour bookings through the end of the year but said the decision was “completely out of our hands.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10646.  
  10647.  
  10648.  
  10649. &lt;p&gt;The statement added: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve worked tirelessly to keep our vision alive, exploring every possible option to move forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  10650.  
  10651.  
  10652.  
  10653. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;However, the recent budget and ongoing economic challenges have made it clear that continuing to trade in our current location is no longer feasible.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10654.  
  10655.  
  10656.  
  10657. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, a chef who worked at one of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31779492/chef-worked-for-jamie-oliver-suddenly-closes-restaurant/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Jamie Oliver&amp;#8217;s restaurants has announced he will shutter his food spot&lt;/a&gt;, leaving diners devastated.&lt;/p&gt;
  10658.  
  10659.  
  10660.  
  10661. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, former&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/masterchef/&quot;&gt;Masterchef&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;finalist Tony Rodd was&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30523697/top-tv-chefs-restaurants-closed-down-marco-pierre-white/&quot;&gt;forced to close his restaurant&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Blackheath whilst Michel Roux Jr closed the doors on his iconic restaurant Gavroche in January after 56 years in business.&lt;/p&gt;
  10662.  
  10663.  
  10664.  
  10665. &lt;p&gt;Experts say the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot;&gt;cost of living&lt;/a&gt; crisis has left customers favouring a cheap dinner over splashing out on fancy evenings out in expensive restaurants, and this has made celeb chefs think twice about whether it&amp;#8217;s worth continuing to run their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10679. &lt;p&gt;MANY&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;Food and drink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;chains have been struggling in recently as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot;&gt;cost of living&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has led to fewer people spending on eating out.&lt;/p&gt;
  10680. &lt;p&gt;Businesses had been struggling to bounce back after the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/a&gt;, only to be hit with soaring&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy/&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bills/&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10681. &lt;p&gt;Multiple chains have been affected, resulting in big-name brands like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/21623270/which-wetherspoons-are-closing-down/&quot;&gt;Wetherspoons&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/22232404/full-list-frankie-and-bennys-chiquito-closing-restaurants/&quot;&gt;Frankie &amp;amp; Benny&amp;#8217;s closing&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;branches.&lt;/p&gt;
  10682. &lt;p&gt;Some chains have not survived,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/21036186/major-burger-chain-close-restaurants-immediately/&quot;&gt;Byron Burger fell into administration&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;last year, with owners saying it would result in the loss of over 200&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10683. &lt;p&gt;Pizza giant,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26919450/papa-johns-pizza-chain-closing-restuarants-may/&quot;&gt;Papa Johns is shutting down 43 of its stores&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  10684. &lt;p&gt;Tasty, the owner of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23604123/gcse-results-restaurants-free-food-discounts/&quot;&gt;Wildwood&lt;/a&gt;, said it will shut sites as part of major restructuring plans.&lt;/p&gt;

  10720.  
  10721.  
  10722.  
  10723.  
  10724.  
  10725. &lt;p&gt;HEFTY pay rises for public sector workers pushed the Government’s debt bill up £4.1billion more than expected.&lt;/p&gt;
  10726.  
  10727.  
  10728.  
  10729. &lt;p&gt;Borrowing last month his £17.4billion &amp;#8211; the second highest October since records began in 1993 and far beyond the £13.3billion forecast by economists.&lt;/p&gt;
  10730.  
  10731.  
  10732.  
  10733. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868125&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/2024/11/f33ba5d4-2923-40c7-ad00-9a7793f43999.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man in a suit and tie has the word volvo on his jacket&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868125&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride said of the debt hike: &amp;#8216;They are a direct result of Labour’s decision to hand out inflation busting pay rises&amp;#8217;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  10734.  
  10735.  
  10736.  
  10737. &lt;p&gt;Chancellor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves&lt;/a&gt; was last night criticised for handing bumper salary boosts to striking union members like junior doctors and train drivers.&lt;/p&gt;
  10738.  
  10739.  
  10740.  
  10741. &lt;p&gt;Shadow Chancellor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mel-stride/&quot;&gt;Mel Stride&lt;/a&gt; said: “They are a direct result of Labour’s decision to hand out &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt; busting pay rises to their union paymasters without any reforms in return.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10742.  
  10743.  
  10744.  
  10745. &lt;p&gt;Interest payments on debt also shot up to £9.1billion last month in the worst October since monthly figures began in 1997.&lt;/p&gt;
  10746.  
  10747.  
  10748.  
  10749. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/downing-street/&quot;&gt;Downing Street&lt;/a&gt; said they expected borrowing to rise as they set about plugging a £22billion “black hole” in the public finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  10750.  
  10751.  
  10752.  
  10753. &lt;p&gt;The Chancellor claimed to have found a series of financial timebombs left by the Tories that she claimed forced her to make tough choices on spending. &lt;/p&gt;
  10754.  
  10755.  
  10756.  
  10757. &lt;p&gt;In a controversial move Ms Reeves also axed &lt;span id=&quot;c8c757d3-761f-4925-8b0a-ac566545e58f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/span&gt; fuel payments from OAPs who do not receive &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pension-credit/&quot;&gt;pension credit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10758.  
  10759.  
  10760.  
  10761. &lt;p&gt;But Ms Reeves did announce inflation-busting pay rises of 5.5 per cent for public sector workers such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/teachers/&quot;&gt;teachers&lt;/a&gt;, soldiers, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; officers and civil servants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10762.  
  10763.  
  10764.  
  10765. &lt;p&gt;And junior doctors are in line for a monster 22 per cent wage hike over two years in a bid to end their persistent strike action that is crippling hospitals. &lt;/p&gt;
  10766.  
  10767.  
  10768.  
  10769. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868093&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/2024/11/2024-london-united-kingdom-junior-920662166.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a woman holding a sign that says pay restoration for doctors&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868093&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;Hefty pay rises for public sector workers pushed the Government’s debt bill up £4.1billion more than expected[/caption]</content:encoded>

  10811. &lt;p&gt;WITH freezing temperatures sweeping across the UK, getting your clothes dry might feel like mission impossible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10812.  
  10813.  
  10814.  
  10815. &lt;p&gt;Even if you manage it, you may find that your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31783681/free-hack-dry-laundry-quickly-no-tumble-dryer-radiator/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;clothes start to develop a musty smell. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  10820.  
  10821.  
  10822.  
  10823. &lt;p&gt;However, one savvy cleaning enthusiast, who doesn’t own a tumble dryer, has discovered the perfect trick for drying your clothes this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/winter/&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10824.  
  10825.  
  10826.  
  10827. &lt;p&gt;Caroline, who is known as&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@carolineonline21/video/7412328705286049056?_r=1&amp;amp;_t=8rWdmcqne4H&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; ‘carolineonline21’  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; ‘carolineonline21’ &lt;/a&gt;on TikTok, has revealed her “tips for drying your clothes in winter if you don’t have a dryer.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10828.  
  10829.  
  10830.  
  10831. &lt;p&gt;Talking to camera, the mum explained how she discovered an essential two-step method to get clothes dry inside and how to prevent condensation too. &lt;/p&gt;
  10832.  
  10833.  
  10834.  
  10835. &lt;p&gt;First off, she explained that she uses three different products when cleaning clothes to avoid the musty smell.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10836.  
  10837.  
  10838.  
  10839. &lt;p&gt;These include the Unstoppable Lenore scent booster, currently available at a discounted price of £5 from Ocado; Surf tropical three-in-one tablets, costing £1.29 from Waitrose; and her final secret, the Ecover fabric softener in the five-litre container.&lt;/p&gt;
  10840.  
  10841.  
  10842.  
  10843. &lt;p&gt;She says: “This is my combination for making my clothes smell &lt;span id=&quot;1ca343f0-4cd8-42e9-a602-1f3060181680&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; and not have that horrible musty smell you get from drying clothes indoors.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10844.  
  10845.  
  10846.  
  10847. &lt;p&gt;Caroline then explains how to help get clothes dry indoors during the colder months.&lt;/p&gt;
  10848.  
  10849.  
  10850.  
  10851. &lt;p&gt;She says: “If, like me, you dry your clothes inside and you want them to smell nice, my tip is to do small loads on a regular basis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10852.  
  10853.  
  10854.  
  10855. &lt;p&gt;“Try to take advantage of the few dry days we have in the UK to dry your clothes outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  10856.  
  10857.  
  10858.  
  10859. &lt;p&gt;“If you dry your clothes indoors, make sure you find a room where you can put all your clothes and keep the windows open for as long as you can throughout the day to get rid of the condensation.&lt;/p&gt;

  10908.  
  10909.  
  10910.  
  10911. &lt;p&gt;One wrote: “good tips..I don&amp;#8217;t like most fabric softeners as they are too perfumey and heady. Is that eco one lighter in scent?”&lt;/p&gt;
  10912.  
  10913.  
  10914.  
  10915. &lt;p&gt;To which Caroline replied: “The scent of it is quite strong but it’s very pleasant to me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10916.  
  10917.  
  10918.  
  10919. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “True winter is a mess.&lt;/p&gt;
  10920.  
  10921.  
  10922.  
  10923. &lt;p&gt;“I have clothes on heaters, doors, chairs nearly everywhere because I have boys so there are clothes to wash every day.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10924.  
  10925.  
  10926.  
  10927. &lt;p&gt;And a third simply said: “Very useful information. Thank you so much.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10928.  
  10929.  
  10930.  
  10931. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  10934. &lt;/div&gt;
  10935. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10938. &lt;div&gt;
  10939. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drying rack or airer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10940. &lt;p&gt;Load up your airer with wet washing and place near a heat source &amp;#8211; like a radiator or direct sunlight &amp;#8211; to help distribute air around your clothes. &lt;/p&gt;
  10941. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dehumidifier&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10942. &lt;p&gt;Plug in a dehumidifier in a room with clothes hanging to dry quickly and prevent dampness and mould. Many now have a laundry setting. &lt;/p&gt;
  10943. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tumble dryer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10944. &lt;p&gt;A tumble dryer can heat moisture out of wet washing, saving time and can be used in any weather. &lt;/p&gt;
  10945. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heated airer &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10946. &lt;p&gt;Many brands and shops now sell heated airers for as little as £30. The racks heat through electricity and can speed up drying time. &lt;/p&gt;
  10947. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open a window &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10948. &lt;p&gt;Choose a spare room or unused room for keeping your washing and crack open a window, but close the door behind you. &lt;/p&gt;
  10949. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using curtain poles &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10950. &lt;p&gt;Hang wet washing on radiators then hook them onto curtain poles with radiators below. The heat will rise and dry the items. Alternatively, if you have a shower curtain pole, hang your clothes in the bathroom with a window open. &lt;/p&gt;
  10951. &lt;/div&gt;
  10952. &lt;/div&gt;

  11021. &lt;p&gt;He faces arrest if he travels to any country party to the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction, including the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  11022.  
  11023.  
  11024.  
  11025. &lt;p&gt;Following the issue the warrant yesterday, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/downing-street/&quot;&gt;Downing Street&lt;/a&gt; said PM Sir Keir “respects the independence of the ICC”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11026.  
  11027.  
  11028.  
  11029. &lt;p&gt;No10 said it will now be up to domestic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;courts&lt;/a&gt; to make a final determination on whether Britain endorses the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  11030.  
  11031.  
  11032.  
  11033. &lt;p&gt;A spokesman also refused to say whether Mr Netanyahu would be welcome in Britain and would not clarify whether he would be arrested if he travelled here tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  11034.  
  11035.  
  11036.  
  11037. &lt;p&gt;But Shadow Justice Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/robert-jenrick/&quot;&gt;Robert Jenrick&lt;/a&gt; said: “The UK shouldn’t enforce this farcical warrant from a politicised &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt;. Starmer is a disgrace.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11038.  
  11039.  
  11040.  
  11041. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Shadow Foreign Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/priti-patel/&quot;&gt;Priti Patel&lt;/a&gt; added: “Labour must condemn and challenge the ICC’s decision.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11042.  
  11043.  
  11044.  
  11045. &lt;p&gt;And ex-Home Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/suella-braverman/&quot;&gt;Suella Braverman&lt;/a&gt; said: “The ICC has lost credibility. They’ve made a mockery of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; and undermined the international rules-based system.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11046.  
  11047.  
  11048.  
  11049. &lt;p&gt;The UK is a signatory of the ICC, based in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netherlands/&quot;&gt;Netherlands&lt;/a&gt;, and Attorney General Richard Hermer has repeatedly vowed to respect its rulings.&lt;/p&gt;
  11050.  
  11051.  
  11052.  
  11053. &lt;p&gt;The court also issued arrest warrants against former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant and presumed-dead Hamas chief &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mohammed-deif/&quot;&gt;Mohammed Deif&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11054.  
  11055.

  11153.  
  11154. &lt;p&gt;He is also in line for the £15k high break bonus as he knocked in a 146 in his first qualifier last weekend – unless someone celebrates a 147 maximum.&lt;/p&gt;

  11159.  
  11160.  
  11161.

  11165.  
  11166. &lt;p&gt;Xintong, 27, called his offence a &amp;#8220;little mistake&amp;#8221; and added: “I missed this because I didn’t play here for two years. &lt;/p&gt;
  11167.  
  11168.  
  11169.  
  11170. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Now, I come back. I want to enjoy the tournament and do my best. It’s much different. This is more important for me.&lt;/p&gt;
  11171.  
  11172.  
  11173.  
  11174. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I like snooker. I need to come back. I will try my best in practice. I want to come back to the snooker table. I love it even more. &lt;/p&gt;
  11175.  
  11176.

  11178. &lt;p&gt;Xintong added: &amp;#8220;Shaun is a very good player. He can pot a lot of balls.”&lt;/p&gt;

  11247. BELOW is a list of snooker World Champions by year. &lt;/p&gt;
  11249. &lt;div&gt;
  11250. &lt;p&gt;The record is for the modern era, widely considered as dating from the 1968-69 season, when the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) took control of the sport.&lt;/p&gt;
  11251. &lt;p&gt;The first World Championships ran from 1927 &amp;#8211; with a break from 1941-45 because of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/world-war-2/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;World War II&lt;/a&gt; and 1958-63 because of a dispute in the sport.&lt;/p&gt;
  11252. &lt;p&gt;Joe Davis (15), Fred Davis and John Pulman (both 8) were the most successful players during that period.&lt;/p&gt;

  11369. &lt;p&gt;IT is the Christmas song that raised more than £80million for charity, sold almost 12million copies worldwide and features some of the biggest global pop stars of the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  11370.  
  11371.  
  11372.  
  11373. &lt;p&gt;But today — to mark the track’s 40th year — we reveal how the success of Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? was fuelled by day-old sandwiches, booze swiped from a journalist’s nearby home and, for some, ­Status Quo’s cocaine supply.&lt;/p&gt;

  11385. &lt;p&gt;The iconic bells on the single were knocked out on songwriter Midge Ure’s Casio keyboard, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/boy-george/&quot;&gt;Boy George&lt;/a&gt; was scrambled to the ­studio from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-york/&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; by Concorde when he initially didn’t show up, and Duran Duran got locked in the studio toilet.&lt;/p&gt;
  11386.  
  11387.  
  11388.  
  11389. &lt;p&gt;The incredible tales of the making of the hit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt; single are told in an interview with Robin Eggar — one of only two music ­journ­alists allowed in the room for the ­famous studio session by the organisers, Ultravox frontman Midge and Boomtown Rats singer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bob-geldof/&quot;&gt;Bob Geldof&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11390.  
  11391.  
  11392.  
  11393. &lt;p&gt;Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Robin said: “It was a remarkable day, given the number of stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  11394.  
  11395.  
  11396.  
  11397. &lt;p&gt;“There were some hilarious moments and it was incredible to see all these artists in one cramped, slight­ly worn studio together.&lt;/p&gt;
  11398.  
  11399.  
  11400.  
  11401. &lt;p&gt;“Bob Geldof corralled and bullied all these artists like Duran Duran, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/george-michael/&quot;&gt;George Michael&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/u2/&quot;&gt;U2&lt;/a&gt;, who had been competing against each other in the charts and slagging each other off publicly, into one place on a quiet Sunday in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; in November.&lt;/p&gt;

  11406.  
  11407.  
  11408.  
  11409. &lt;p&gt;“It may never have been the same if it hadn’t been for Concorde. Bob called Boy George and ordered him to fly in from New York on the day.&lt;/p&gt;
  11410.  
  11411.  
  11412.  
  11413. &lt;p&gt;“Despite all the egos, everyone got on well but there was no catering — people were told to go out and get their own sandwiches and I had to go back to my place to get six bottles of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wine/&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt;, which disappeared in ten minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11414.  
  11415.  
  11416.  
  11417. &lt;p&gt;“Status Quo kept disappearing off to the toilets with others and coming back ‘refreshed’.&lt;/p&gt;
  11418.  
  11419.  
  11420.  
  11421. &lt;p&gt;“Despite his day starting at 8am, Midge had to kick most people out at midnight because everyone was having such a good time.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11422.  
  11423.  
  11424.  
  11425. &lt;p&gt;On Monday, it will be four decades since around 40 of Britain’s ­finest pop stars assembled in Sarm Studios, West London, to lay down the hastily created song, which went on to become the biggest-selling charity record in UK &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11449. &lt;p&gt;The single was inspired by a haunting 1984 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;News&lt;/a&gt; report from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ethiopia/&quot;&gt;Ethiopia&lt;/a&gt;, where famine had ravaged the country and led to 1.2million deaths between 1983 and 1985 alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  11450.  
  11451.  
  11452.  
  11453. &lt;p&gt;After watching the images of ­starving children on the dispatch, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bob-geldof/&quot;&gt;Bob Geldof&lt;/a&gt; called his friend Midge to tell him: “We must make a record.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11454.  
  11455.  
  11456.  
  11457. &lt;p&gt;Robin, a music reporter who had interviewed some of the day’s biggest stars, said: “Bob went on a mission to raise &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;. He bullied and corralled anyone he could in music and did it all in a few weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  11458.  
  11459.  
  11460.  
  11461. &lt;p&gt;“Bob’s career was a bit on the floor. His partner, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paula-yates/&quot;&gt;Paula Yates&lt;/a&gt;, was much more famous as she was ­presenting The Tube on TV.&lt;/p&gt;
  11462.  
  11463.  
  11464.  
  11465. &lt;p&gt;“But he had everyone’s phone ­numbers and wouldn’t stop &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bullying/&quot;&gt;bullying&lt;/a&gt; them to show up.&lt;/p&gt;
  11466.  
  11467.  
  11468.  
  11469. &lt;p&gt;“The person who gets forgotten a little bit in this is Midge. He was a much bigger star than Bob.&lt;/p&gt;

  11478.  
  11479.  
  11480.  
  11481. &lt;p&gt;“Once Bob had the confidence that Midge was on board, he then started pushing people. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sting/&quot;&gt;Sting&lt;/a&gt; was an easy hit, because he was very keen on all sorts of environmental issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  11482.  
  11483.  
  11484.  
  11485. &lt;p&gt;“Bob bumped into Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran leaving the Picasso club on the King’s Road just after he spotted Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet through an art gallery window.&lt;/p&gt;
  11486.  
  11487.  
  11488.  
  11489. &lt;p&gt;“U2 were there because they were both Irish and it was just easier to do what Bob said as he would never have let them hear the end of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  11490.  
  11491.  
  11492.  
  11493. &lt;p&gt;“Bob would tell them that others were confirmed, even if they weren’t, so they felt they had to come.&lt;/p&gt;
  11494.  
  11495.  
  11496.  
  11497. &lt;p&gt;“They initially said, ‘We’re aiming to get a Christmas No1 with the ­single and make a few hundred thousand quid’ but the reality is the song has made around £80million.”&lt;/p&gt;

  11501. &lt;p&gt;Midge wrote the music while Bob penned the lyrics ahead of the November 25 recording. But when they arrived at 8am, no one else was there bar the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/film/&quot;&gt;film&lt;/a&gt; crew outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  11502.  
  11503.  
  11504.  
  11505. &lt;p&gt;Robin, who arrived before most of the stars, said: “I knew a lot of the bands and I was living a gentle walk away.&lt;/p&gt;
  11506.  
  11507.  
  11508.  
  11509. &lt;p&gt;“Paul Young arrived first, Sting then came in carrying the Sunday papers, then &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bono/&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt; and Adam Clayton from U2 arrived.&lt;/p&gt;
  11510.  
  11511.  
  11512.  
  11513. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Paul Weller turned up and was very nervous. Bananarama pitched up in a battered cab.&lt;/p&gt;
  11514.  
  11515.  
  11516.  
  11517. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867627&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 715px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1b160250-11f2-44e8-aa68-d6a7f668e625_a0aa6d.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=705&quot; alt=&quot;a black and white photo of a man with a cane&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867627&quot; width=&quot;705&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Paul Weller, who was reportedly &amp;#8216;very nervous&amp;#8217;, rocks up&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  11522.  
  11523.  
  11524.  
  11525. &lt;p&gt;“Duran, Duran and Spandau Ballet came in around 10am. They’d been at a TV show in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196710/germany/&quot;&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt; the night before, so they’d all flown in together, and they’d had a drinking competition the night before so were looking a little worse for wear.&lt;/p&gt;
  11526.  
  11527.  
  11528.  
  11529. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There was no security, no managers, no publicists.&lt;/p&gt;
  11530.  
  11531.  
  11532.  
  11533. &lt;p&gt;“There was a bit of ‘not wanting to sit at the front of class’ about who sang first. In the end, Spandau’s Tony Hadley eventually volunteered.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11534.  
  11535.  
  11536.  
  11537. &lt;p&gt;At 11am, Culture Club arrived and Bob realised someone was missing — Boy George.&lt;/p&gt;
  11538.  
  11539.  
  11540.  
  11541. &lt;p&gt;Robin said: “Bob called him up in his hotel room at 6am in New York. A groggy George was telling him he was going to struggle to make it and Bob just cut in and said, ­‘Everyone’s here except you.&lt;/p&gt;
  11542.  
  11543.  
  11544.  
  11545. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘Boy George was spicy’&lt;/h2&gt;
  11546.  
  11547.  
  11548.  
  11549. &lt;p&gt;There’s a Concorde to London at 9.30am, get on it’. He arrived mid-afternoon.&lt;/p&gt;
  11550.  
  11551.  
  11552.  
  11553. &lt;p&gt;“When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/boy-george/&quot;&gt;George&lt;/a&gt; waltzed in, he said, ‘Could somebody get me some brandy?’. When Bob said he’d have to do his lines first, George was very spicy. Bob jokingly said, ‘Oh, get on with it, you f***ing old queen’.&lt;/p&gt;
  11554.  
  11555.  
  11556.  
  11557. &lt;p&gt;“George responded, ‘Shut up, you Irish tart’. George sang his line — one take — then swanned off into the ­studio to basically spread chaos. He gave everyone a boost.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11558.  
  11559.  
  11560.  
  11561. &lt;p&gt;To keep everyone occupied, photographer Brian Aris got the group to all sing the famous “Feed the World” chorus as he snapped away. Status Quo’s Francis Rossi had them in stitches by saying, “Why is everyone singing ‘Feed the Welsh’?”&lt;/p&gt;
  11562.  
  11563.  
  11564.  
  11565. &lt;p&gt;Robin recalled Quo guitarist &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rick-parfitt/&quot;&gt;Rick Parfitt&lt;/a&gt; also struggled with some of their trademark harmonies — finally leaving Rossi to do their lines alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  11566.  
  11567.  
  11568.  
  11569. &lt;p&gt;The two songwriters made changes to the song as they went along.&lt;/p&gt;
  11570.  
  11571.  
  11572.  
  11573. &lt;p&gt;Robin said: “Bob ribbed Midge Ure about the middle section, which he did on his Casio keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;
  11574.  
  11575.  
  11576.  
  11577. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  11579. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  11580. &lt;p&gt;If anything, it’s Jingle Bells mixed with The Dam Busters theme tune.&lt;/p&gt;
  11581. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  11585. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  11587.  
  11588.  
  11589.  
  11590. &lt;p&gt;“Bob said, ‘It sounds like the theme from Z-Cars done on the Stylophone’. Midge snapped back, ‘If anything, it’s Jingle Bells mixed with The Dam Busters theme tune’.&lt;/p&gt;
  11591.  
  11592.  
  11593.  
  11594. &lt;p&gt;“They also realised the line, ‘And there won’t be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/snow/&quot;&gt;snow&lt;/a&gt; in Ethiopia this Christmas’ wouldn’t fit, so changed Ethiopia for Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
  11595.  
  11596.  
  11597.  
  11598. &lt;p&gt;“I also remember Paul Young was trying to sing his lines and Bob was cutting in from behind the desk and telling him what to sing, but Bob was completely out of tune.&lt;/p&gt;
  11599.  
  11600.  
  11601.  
  11602. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Paul looked confused. Midge cut in and shouted, ‘You’re out of tune Bob, let them do their business’.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11603.  
  11604.  
  11605.  
  11606. &lt;p&gt;Robin said Bono wowed with a single take of his iconic “Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you” line, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/phil-collins/&quot;&gt;Phil Collins&lt;/a&gt; waited seven hours without moaning to record the drums on the track.&lt;/p&gt;
  11607.  
  11608.  
  11609.  
  11610. &lt;p&gt;There was very little refreshment to hand, with Bob saying, “If you want it, go out to get it yourself”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11611.  
  11612.  
  11613.  
  11614. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘We’ve buried our egos’&lt;/h2&gt;
  11615.  
  11616.  
  11617.  
  11618. &lt;p&gt;Robin, who appears in the song’s video next to Simon Le Bon after the camera crew thought he was a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pop-music/&quot;&gt;pop star&lt;/a&gt;, added: “The studio rustled up some curry and chips. If you wanted a sandwich or drink, you went to get it from the corner shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  11619.  
  11620.  
  11621.  
  11622. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There were lots of day-old sandwiches being eaten.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11623.  
  11624.  
  11625.  
  11626. &lt;p&gt;While the singers were called up in order of chart success, some started to feel in need of a drink.&lt;/p&gt;
  11627.  
  11628.  
  11629.  
  11630. &lt;p&gt;Robin said: “I had a flat nearby. Adam Clayton and I went back and got six bottles of wine I had lying around. That lasted about ten ­minutes in the studio. Others went to the off-licence when it opened.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11631.  
  11632.  
  11633.  
  11634. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/28718486/band-status-quo-retire-after-current-tour/&quot;&gt;Status Quo&lt;/a&gt; also raised the level of partying. Robin added: “There was a lot of cocaine in the industry then, and Status Quo were very popular, and they’d keep vanishing into the toilets, and everyone came out looking very refreshed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11635.  
  11636.  
  11637.  
  11638. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They were the biggest party animals.&lt;/p&gt;
  11639.  
  11640.  
  11641.  
  11642. &lt;p&gt;“At one point they even locked Duran Duran in the toilets. But it was a real collegiate atmosphere. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/george-michael/&quot;&gt;George Michael&lt;/a&gt; said to me, ‘What was needed was for everyone to get together. We’ve all buried our own egos for a greater cause’.&lt;/p&gt;
  11643.

  11648. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  11649. &lt;p&gt;It remains one of the things I’m proudest of — just being in the room.&lt;/p&gt;
  11650. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  11654. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  11656.  
  11657.  
  11658.  
  11659. &lt;p&gt;“By the end, there were some great scenes. Weller was having a conversation with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jon-moss/&quot;&gt;Jon Moss&lt;/a&gt;, from Culture Club, and the singer ­Marilyn, about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/margaret-thatcher/&quot;&gt;Margaret Thatcher&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11660.  
  11661.  
  11662.  
  11663. &lt;p&gt;Francis Rossi said in 2019 of the original recording session: “I hadn’t expected how much many of us had in common when it came to cocaine. Soon our corner of the ­studio became the go-to hangout for quite a few others.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11664.  
  11665.  
  11666.  
  11667. &lt;p&gt;Midge and Bob stayed until 8am producing the record. It was ­immediately sent for pressing and was on the shelves within days.&lt;/p&gt;
  11668.  
  11669.  
  11670.  
  11671. &lt;p&gt;It flew straight to No1, staying there for five weeks over Christmas.&lt;/p&gt;
  11672.  
  11673.  
  11674.  
  11675. &lt;p&gt;The success even inspired the Live Aid concert in July 1985, a remake of the song 20 years on, which this paper backed, and a ­further update in 2014. A new ­version, including voices from the 1984, 2004 and 2014 releases, is in the making to mark the 40th anniversary.&lt;/p&gt;
  11676.  
  11677.  
  11678.  
  11679. &lt;p&gt;Robin, who went on to write biographies of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tom-jones/&quot;&gt;Tom Jones&lt;/a&gt; and ­Shania Twain and run his own communications firm, said: “It remains one of the things I’m proudest of — just being in the room.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11680.  
  11681.  
  11682.  
  11683. &lt;p&gt;This week, Bob was forced to defend Band Aid 40 after London-born Ghanaian rapper Fuse ODG said the record fuelled “pity rather than partnership”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11684.  
  11685.  
  11686.  
  11687. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ed-sheeran/&quot;&gt;Ed Sheeran&lt;/a&gt;, who sang on the 2014 release, also said he would have “respectfully declined” the re-use of his vocals on the new song, had he been consulted.&lt;/p&gt;
  11688.  
  11689.  
  11690.  
  11691. &lt;p&gt;Robin said: “Ed’s views are ­perfectly reasonable. He should have been asked.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11692.  
  11693.  
  11694.  
  11695. &lt;p&gt;He added: “However, the original Band Aid was a bunch of very ­successful pop stars who were appalled by what was happening in Ethiopia and wanted to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  11696.  
  11697.  
  11698.  
  11699. &lt;p&gt;“British music was in such a good place and it all came together in a tiny studio, on a Sunday afternoon.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  11727. &lt;p&gt;A COCAINE fiend slaughtered a young mum by stabbing her 45 times in a bloodbath rampage in her own home after she spurned him, a court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  11728.  
  11729.  
  11730.  
  11731. &lt;p&gt;The High Court in Edinburgh heard cocaine abuser Michael Porchetta knifed Aimee Cannon at least 45 times in the neck, chest, stomach and also subjected her to ‘multiple clean cut wounds’ on her scalp and defensive cuts to her hands.&lt;/p&gt;

  11751. &lt;p&gt;The 28-year-old allegedly left his blood-soaked victim lying on the floor of her home in West Calder, West Lothian with her head resting on her childrens’ toys.&lt;/p&gt;
  11752.  
  11753.  
  11754.  
  11755. &lt;p&gt;The court was shown a graphic video of beautician Aimee’s body in the flat which caused gasps and tears from family and friends in the public gallery.&lt;/p&gt;
  11756.  
  11757.  
  11758.  
  11759. &lt;p&gt;A tattoo on her body reading ‘One life one chance’ was visible during the harrowing walk through the blood-splattered home after her death in May 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

  11767. &lt;p&gt;Porchetta, who lived nearby, then spent three days denying he had anything to do with the death before his sister, who found blood on his jeans, told him to go to the police, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  11768.  
  11769.  
  11770.  
  11771. &lt;p&gt;Porchetta was charged with murdering mum-of-two Aimee by punching her and stabbing her “on the head and body with a knife or knives”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11772.  
  11773.  
  11774.  
  11775. &lt;p&gt;He is further accused of stealing Aimee’s phone, keys and underwear and attempting to pervert the course of justice by disposing of the blade and washing her blood from his trainers.&lt;/p&gt;
  11776.  
  11777.  
  11778.  
  11779. &lt;p&gt;But Porchetta was deemed unfit to stand trial and instead faced an examination of facts hearing this week before judge Lord Mulholland.&lt;/p&gt;
  11780.  
  11781.  
  11782.  
  11783. &lt;p&gt;Agreed evidence between the prosecution and defence was read by advocate depute John McElroy KC.&lt;/p&gt;
  11784.  
  11785.  
  11786.  
  11787. &lt;p&gt;He said: “The post mortem concluded the deceased died of multiple sharp force injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

  11811. &lt;p&gt;“She had at least 45 stab wounds and multiple clean cut wounds on her scalp and both hands.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11812.  
  11813.  
  11814.  
  11815. &lt;p&gt;A video taken by scenes of crime officers caused one woman to flee the public gallery while others wept. Porchetta stared at the ground and did not look at the footage.&lt;/p&gt;
  11816.  
  11817.  
  11818.  
  11819. &lt;p&gt;Forensic scientist Laura Wilcock told the court: “The deceased’s body was found with her head lying on children’s toys.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11820.  
  11821.  
  11822.  
  11823. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Porchetta stayed with his uncle Robert Nicoll, 59, and sister Gabriella, 29, after their parents passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  11824.  
  11825.  
  11826.  
  11827. &lt;p&gt;He told the court his nephew returned home at 7am on Saturday May 7.&lt;/p&gt;
  11828.  
  11829.  
  11830.  
  11831. &lt;p&gt;He said: “I asked him how his night was. He said ‘aye it was alright’ and he went upstairs.&lt;/p&gt;
  11832.  
  11833.  
  11834.  
  11835. &lt;p&gt;“He changed his clothes and went out to work.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11836.  
  11837.  
  11838.  
  11839. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Porchetta returned home around 5pm and ate his dinner before a female arrived and went up to his room.&lt;/p&gt;
  11840.  
  11841.  
  11842.  
  11843. &lt;p&gt;On Sunday afternoon, he went out to see Mr Nicoll while he was gardening.&lt;/p&gt;
  11844.  
  11845.  
  11846.  
  11847. &lt;p&gt;The witness said in evidence: “Michael came out to see me, he seemed upset.&lt;/p&gt;
  11848.  
  11849.  
  11850.  
  11851. &lt;p&gt;“He said to me ‘the lassie’s been murdered up the street. My pals told me.’&lt;/p&gt;
  11852.  
  11853.  
  11854.  
  11855. &lt;p&gt;“Michael said he had been up at her house on Friday night.&lt;/p&gt;
  11856.  
  11857.  
  11858.  
  11859. &lt;p&gt;“He always went there. He said he had been taking drugs. Then he said his pals had called him and told him Aimee had been stabbed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11860.  
  11861.  
  11862.  
  11863. &lt;p&gt;Sister Garbriella, 29, a deputy charge nurse, told the court she smelled what she thought was blood on Porchetta’s jeans on the Saturday when she went to get them for the wash.&lt;/p&gt;
  11864.  
  11865.  
  11866.  
  11867. &lt;p&gt;She said: “I asked Michael where it came from and he said he had cut his thumb after catching it on a barbed wire fence.&lt;/p&gt;
  11868.  
  11869.  
  11870.  
  11871. &lt;p&gt;“He also said he had been to Aimee’s home on Friday night but left around midnight.&lt;/p&gt;
  11872.  
  11873.  
  11874.  
  11875. &lt;p&gt;“He denied doing anything to Aimee.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11876.  
  11877.  
  11878.  
  11879. &lt;p&gt;Gabriella added that the family were worried about his abuse of cocaine.&lt;/p&gt;
  11880.  
  11881.  
  11882.  
  11883. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Michael said he had to stop as it was f***ing him up in the head.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11884.  
  11885.  
  11886.  
  11887. &lt;p&gt;Uncle Robert Nicoll told defence KC Gary Allan: “He was always asking me for money.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11888.  
  11889.  
  11890.  
  11891. &lt;p&gt;Mr Allan said: “Did you learn that he was taking cocaine regularly?”&lt;/p&gt;
  11892.  
  11893.  
  11894.  
  11895. &lt;p&gt;The witness said: “Yes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11896.  
  11897.  
  11898.  
  11899. &lt;p&gt;The lawyer asked: “Did it become a concern in the family?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11900.  
  11901.  
  11902.  
  11903. &lt;p&gt;The witness replied: “Yes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11904.  
  11905.  
  11906.  
  11907. &lt;p&gt;The hearing heard this week how Porchetta again told his sister that he had left Aimee ‘safe and well’.&lt;/p&gt;
  11908.  
  11909.  
  11910.  
  11911. &lt;p&gt;But she called the police and told him he had to speak to them.&lt;/p&gt;
  11912.  
  11913.  
  11914.  
  11915. &lt;p&gt;Further witnesses described to the court Porchetta ‘trying it on’ with Aimee but her rebuffing him and saying he’s ‘just my wee pal.’&lt;/p&gt;
  11916.  
  11917.  
  11918.  
  11919. &lt;p&gt;Alistair Wilson, 28, said: “Aimee told me once that Michael had come on to her but she told him they were just pals.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11920.  
  11921.  
  11922.  
  11923. &lt;p&gt;Robert Aitken, 30, added: “Mikey tried it on with her two months before her death.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11924.  
  11925.  
  11926.  
  11927. &lt;p&gt;A third witness, John Honeyman, 33, said Aimee had contacted him to try to get Porchetta to leave her house in the months before the killing.&lt;/p&gt;
  11928.  
  11929.  
  11930.  
  11931. &lt;p&gt;He said: “She seemed anxious, alarmed and upset. Panicking.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11932.  
  11933.  
  11934.  
  11935. &lt;p&gt;The hearing continues.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12001. &lt;p&gt;A source said the intensifying chemistry between reality star Pete, 36, and Polish pro dancer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jowita-przystal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jowita&lt;/a&gt;, 30, is &lt;span id=&quot;ec354074-5b27-4f56-b5bb-ef2eee337b4c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the talk&lt;/span&gt; of the show backstage.&lt;/p&gt;
  12002.  
  12003.  
  12004.  
  12005. &lt;p&gt;They told The Sun: “The chemistry between them has been pretty clear since the moment they met. &lt;/p&gt;
  12006.  
  12007.  
  12008.  
  12009. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But the last few weeks something has changed and they’ve started seeing each other away from the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  12010.  
  12011.  
  12012.  
  12013. &lt;p&gt;“They’ve tried to keep it low-key but they often travel together rather than getting separate &lt;span id=&quot;33d250bb-e805-447c-9470-f7a38768df79&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/span&gt; to different locations. &lt;/p&gt;
  12014.  
  12015.  
  12016.  
  12017. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And they’re so tactile backstage — it has become pretty obvious something is going on.&lt;/p&gt;
  12018.  
  12019.  
  12020.  
  12021. &lt;p&gt;“Everyone is talking about the fact they seem closer than ever.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12022.  
  12023.  
  12024.  
  12025. &lt;p&gt;Motorbike-loving Pete, who found fame on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-only-way-is-essex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Only Way Is Essex&lt;/a&gt;, was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31650784/strictly-pete-wicks-date-maura-higgins-im-a-celeb/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;seen on a date with Maura&lt;/a&gt;, 33, earlier in this year’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Strictly &lt;/a&gt;series.&lt;/p&gt;
  12026.  
  12027.  
  12028.  
  12029. &lt;p&gt;But when the ex-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; star landed in Oz this month, she said: “I date, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31818601/maura-higgins-romance-riddle-single-pete-wicks-dates/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;I’m very much single&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;

  12034.  
  12035.  
  12036.  
  12037. &lt;p&gt;Our source went on: “It might be that Pete was waiting to see what was going to happen with Maura. They’re both single.&lt;/p&gt;

  12140. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/oti-mabuse/&quot;&gt;Oti Mabuse&lt;/a&gt;, for instance, couldn’t wait to tell us she hates “things that move on their stomachs”, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dean-mccullough/&quot;&gt;Dean McCullough&lt;/a&gt; is claustrophobic and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gk-barry/&quot;&gt;GK Barry&lt;/a&gt; cannot stand the thought of being “in a small space with loads of frogs”, like Cafe Rouge in St Paul’s.&lt;/p&gt;
  12141.  
  12142.  
  12143.  
  12144. &lt;p&gt;The one who’s really got his work cut out for the &lt;span id=&quot;89389a9b-5e3c-471b-a683-91f1a80c3961&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; three weeks, though, is McFly’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/danny-jones/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones&lt;/a&gt;, who’s got “a fear of the unknown”. &lt;/p&gt;
  12145.  
  12146.  
  12147.  
  12148. &lt;p&gt;Because the unknowns are front and ­centre, all of the bloody time, in that jungle camp.&lt;/p&gt;
  12149.  
  12150.  
  12151.  
  12152. &lt;p&gt;With the two most unknown and tiresome of the lot being Dean, a third-person-speaking crybaby from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/radio/&quot;&gt;Radio&lt;/a&gt; 1, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gk-barry/&quot;&gt;GK Barry&lt;/a&gt;, who sounds as if she’s a ­famous hairdresser but is neither of those two things and just seems to earn a ­living shouting into cyberspace.&lt;/p&gt;
  12153.  
  12154.  
  12155.  
  12156. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Self-help b******s&lt;/h2&gt;
  12157.  
  12158.  
  12159.  
  12160. &lt;p&gt;Slightly weirdly, there are two others in there who have names I definitely recognise, but bear only a passing resemblance to their former selves — Strictly’s Oti, who’s been carb-loading in the run-up to jungle starvation, and N-Dubz’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tulisa/&quot;&gt;Tulisa&lt;/a&gt;, who as well as being “demi-sexual” is now also bilingual, speaking a fluent form of self-help b******s that allows her to say things like, “I need that soul family &lt;span id=&quot;9e651a91-74c4-4c05-9e4a-89568e5e90eb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/span&gt;,” rather than the more formal: “You’re friend-zoned, Alan.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12161.  
  12162.  
  12163.  
  12164. &lt;p&gt;None of them, though, can erase my sense of disappointment with the line-up on this year’s show which, following Nigel Farage’s relatively boring turn on the 2023 run, banned politicians from the camp, at the exact moment a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/general-election/&quot;&gt;General Election&lt;/a&gt; left dozens of suitable contenders at ITV’s mercy.&lt;/p&gt;
  12165.  
  12166.  
  12167.  
  12168. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  12170. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  12171. &lt;p&gt;Desperately, forlornly, every night, the camera lingers on &amp;#8216;TV personality&amp;#8217; Coleen, ­waiting for her to say ­something interesting.&lt;/p&gt;
  12172. &lt;/div&gt;
  12173. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  12174. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  12176.  
  12177.  
  12178.  
  12179. &lt;p&gt;The most suitable of the lot, clearly, would’ve been Jacob Rees-Mogg, who’d have sent Guardian journalists into a tailspin from the moment he raised a champagne flute in the opening credits and had them biting out their own ­eyeballs if he’d reclined on a camp bed, in his usual To The Manor Born style.&lt;/p&gt;
  12180.  
  12181.  
  12182.  
  12183. &lt;p&gt;Instead, the divisive character it urgently needs will be appearing in the ­relative obscurity of his own Discovery+ reality show, from December onwards, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; has spaffed £1.5million on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;Coleen Rooney&lt;/a&gt;, despite the fact fellow &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wags/&quot;&gt;Wags&lt;/a&gt; like Carly Zucker, Sheryl Gascoigne and even her nemesis, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rebekah-vardy/&quot;&gt;Rebekah Vardy&lt;/a&gt;, have never been anything other than crippling bores on this show. &lt;/p&gt;
  12184.  
  12185.  
  12186.  
  12187. &lt;p&gt;The network’s still in a state of denial, obviously.&lt;/p&gt;

  12216.  
  12217.  
  12218.  
  12219. &lt;p&gt;And waiting, until one of the other wiser and more rounded campmates digs her out of a hole. &lt;/p&gt;
  12220.  
  12221.  
  12222.  
  12223. &lt;p&gt;It’d be wrong, at this point, if I didn’t mention my friend and colleague &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jane-moore/&quot;&gt;Jane Moore&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12224.  
  12225.  
  12226.  
  12227. &lt;p&gt;“Tough as old boots” she may be, but Jane’s also as compassionate and smart as they come, which is probably just as well as there was a detachment about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/barry-mcguigan/&quot;&gt;Barry McGuigan&lt;/a&gt; evident even before he broke down, on Monday’s show, with the unbearable grief of his daughter ­Danika’s death.&lt;/p&gt;
  12228.  
  12229.  
  12230.  
  12231. &lt;p&gt;Naive as I am, I thought Barry’s anguish was so raw and overwhelming it might force the camp’s worst offenders to dial down the tearful histrionics and ­nauseating displays of egomania that have made the series all but unwatchable.&lt;/p&gt;
  12232.  
  12233.  
  12234.  
  12235. &lt;p&gt;Not a chance.&lt;/p&gt;
  12236.  
  12237.  
  12238.  
  12239. &lt;p&gt;Since Monday’s show: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/danny-jones/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones&lt;/a&gt; has been ­sobbing away over a panic attack he once had on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/this-morning/&quot;&gt;This Morning&lt;/a&gt;, Dean’s had a full-on “breakdown” at the Sinister Sarcophagus trial, Melvin Odoom’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/carol-vorderman/&quot;&gt;Carol Vorderman&lt;/a&gt; obsession has reached the seriously creepy stage and GK Barry has spoken about no one other than herself, without ever ­giving any hint as to how she qualified for the “Celebrity” tag in the first place, other than the telling admission: “I watched a lot of Miranda boxed sets to learn how to be funny.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12240.

  12252.  
  12253.  
  12254.  
  12255. &lt;p&gt;THREE hours after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; Two’s Boybands Forever started, king of the pity party &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/robbie-williams/&quot;&gt;Robbie Williams&lt;/a&gt; suddenly declared he was, “in a very happy place”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12256.  
  12257.  
  12258.  
  12259. &lt;p&gt;The name of that happy place being “Gstaad, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/switzerland/&quot;&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt;,” a caption which appeared underneath Robbie at the start of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/documentary/&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/a&gt; and really should’ve been his cue to stop moaning and thank his lucky stars he wasn’t still doing panto in Stoke-on-Trent.&lt;/p&gt;
  12260.  
  12261.  
  12262.  
  12263. &lt;p&gt;Robbie has an infinite capacity to play the victim, though, and a willing audience in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-two/&quot;&gt;BBC Two&lt;/a&gt;, who had cut and pasted the exact same storyline here on to every single boyband who have all been destroyed, they’d have you believe, by a wicked alliance of svengali managers and the tabloid press. Including the terminally stupid ones, like Five, who were given first dibs on Britney’s multi-million-selling Hit Me Baby One More Time but turned it down because it was “f***ing w**k.” &lt;/p&gt;
  12264.  
  12265.  
  12266.  
  12267. &lt;p&gt;A huge shame, as the real story of these groups is far more complex, interesting and funny than the lazy, one-size-fits-all version told by the Beeb, as was hinted at when it concluded, very solemnly, that 911 had gone on to “have a massive hit when they collaborated with Vietnamese superstar Duc Phuc.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12268.  
  12269.  
  12270.  
  12271. &lt;p&gt;Although, like you, I will forever mourn the fact he didn’t collaborate with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gary-barlow/&quot;&gt;Gary Barlow&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/howard-donald/&quot;&gt;Howard Donald&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mark-owen/&quot;&gt;Mark Owen&lt;/a&gt; and become Phuc That.&lt;/p&gt;

  12508. &lt;p&gt;WHEN did adverts stop trying to sell us stuff and start telling us how to think?&lt;/p&gt;
  12509.  
  12510.  
  12511.  
  12512. &lt;p&gt;The uproar this week over the rebranding of an iconic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jaguar/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;British car firm&lt;/a&gt; is just the ­latest example of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31843769/jaguar-new-car-advert-re-brand-logo/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;a bid to shove ­“progressive” and “woke” ideology down our throats&lt;/a&gt; — and the British public have had enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  12513.  
  12514.  
  12515.  
  12516. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867221&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/2024/11/NINTCHDBPICT000950779080_8043e0.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a group of people dressed in different colors are posing for a picture&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867221&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;Jaguar&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Jaguar&amp;#8217;s woke rebrand has sparked fury this week, with many boycotting the out-of-touch car firm[/caption]

  12521.  
  12522.  
  12523.  
  12524. &lt;p&gt;Jaguar, in its infinite wisdom, is relaunching the classic brand for the 21st Century, doing away with the legendary leaping jaguar logo and showcasing a bizarre new advert featuring an array of androgynous characters, dressed in bizarre, brightly coloured ­plastic outfits marching around like a ­miserable box of Quality Street who’ve accidentally wandered on to the set of the Hunger Games.&lt;/p&gt;
  12525.  
  12526.  
  12527.  
  12528. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the advert instructs us to “live vivid”, “delete ordinary”, “break moulds” and “copy nothing”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12529.  
  12530.  
  12531.  
  12532. &lt;p&gt;You’d be hard pressed to know this was a commercial for Jaguar, or indeed any car brand, given that no actual CAR is anywhere to be seen.&lt;/p&gt;
  12533.  
  12534.  
  12535.  
  12536. &lt;p&gt;Even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesla/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tesla&lt;/a&gt; mogul &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/elon-musk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Elon Musk&lt;/a&gt; was moved to ask on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;X/Twitter&lt;/a&gt;: “Do you sell cars?”&lt;/p&gt;
  12537.  
  12538.  
  12539.  
  12540. &lt;p&gt;Frankly, I’ve seen better adverts from the losing team on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-apprentice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Apprentice.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12541.  
  12542.  
  12543.  
  12544. &lt;p&gt;If &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lord-alan-sugar/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lord Sugar&lt;/a&gt; was in charge, the team behind this rebrand (800 of them, I kid you not) would ALL have been fired.&lt;/p&gt;
  12545.  
  12546.  
  12547.  
  12548. &lt;p&gt;And the late &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31844781/john-prescott-northerner-britain-working-class/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;John “Two Jags” Prescott&lt;/a&gt; would have been horrified that his beloved brand had been transformed out of all recognition.&lt;/p&gt;
  12549.

  12566.  
  12567.  
  12568.  
  12569. &lt;p&gt;There’s nothing wrong with Jaguar wanting to rebrand itself for a younger market than the Inspector Morse fans, but who precisely does it think this advert will appeal to?&lt;/p&gt;

  12573. &lt;p&gt;And why do so many major companies (and their PR firms and ad agencies) think that it’s their job to indoctrinate us rather than just, y’know, SELL US STUFF?&lt;/p&gt;

  12596.  
  12597. &lt;p&gt;The answer lies in another big business — the DEI industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  12598.  
  12599.  
  12600.  
  12601. &lt;p&gt;DEI stands for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/26163095/fury-woke-civil-service-diversity-courses-paid/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity,&lt;/a&gt; and this is a sector that has captured the hearts and minds of most of the Western corporate world.&lt;/p&gt;
  12602.  
  12603.  
  12604.  
  12605. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Sneering moral lecture&lt;/h2&gt;
  12606.  
  12607.  
  12608.  
  12609. &lt;p&gt;A whole new breed of business leaders no longer judge themselves by how much money they make but by their virtue- signalling for the latest progressive cause.&lt;/p&gt;
  12610.  
  12611.  
  12612.  
  12613. &lt;p&gt;It’s no surprise, then, that Adrian ­Mardell, CEO of Jaguar’s parent company JLR, is fully signed up to the DEI cause, pushing “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lgbt/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;LGBTQ+ rights&lt;/a&gt;” at every opportunity and beaming at Pride marches and awards ceremonies praising his woke “allyship”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12614.  
  12615.  
  12616.  
  12617. &lt;p&gt;I suspect that Jaguar will be just the latest firm to discover that this tiresome self-righteous finger-wagging comes with a cost, as brands who push this agenda are getting a backlash from customers who tell them: “Go woke, go broke”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12618.  
  12619.  
  12620.  
  12621. &lt;p&gt;Bud Light, once America’s top-selling beer, saw shares in its parent ­company plunge by 11 per cent in spring 2023 after recruiting &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/trans-and-gender-identity-issues/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;trans&lt;/a&gt; online influencer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22199318/gender-wars-jeremy-clarkson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dylan ­Mulvaney&lt;/a&gt;, a man who identifies as a girl, to promote its ­product.&lt;/p&gt;
  12622.  
  12623.  
  12624.  
  12625. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22407105/adidas-advert-pride-2023-backlash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sports giant Nike also faced a huge backlash from female ­customers&lt;/a&gt; after ­featuring ­Mulvaney — a man with no breasts — in a sports bra.&lt;/p&gt;
  12626.  
  12627.  
  12628.  
  12629. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disney/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Disney’s&lt;/a&gt; foray into progressive ­messaging and diversity-obsessed casting at the expense of actually entertaining audiences saw four major movies in a row bomb at the box office, despite them costing a total of almost $1billion to make.&lt;/p&gt;
  12630.  
  12631.  
  12632.  
  12633. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8206705/what-is-toxic-masculinity-and-why-was-the-gillette-ad-so-controversial/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;an ad for Gillette razors&lt;/a&gt; chiding men for their toxic masculinity did not go down well with their male ­customers, funnily enough, while Costa Coffee earned a boycott for promoting trans ideology.&lt;/p&gt;
  12634.  
  12635.  
  12636.  
  12637. &lt;p&gt;Even Wickes, the home improvement retailer, faced a backlash after a company chief said women’s rights activists were anti-trans “bigots” and not “welcomed in our stores” — causing Wickes’ share price to fall by five per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  12638.  
  12639.  
  12640.  
  12641. &lt;p&gt;Jaguar would be wise to pay attention to its critics because most customers have had enough of woke.&lt;/p&gt;
  12642.  
  12643.  
  12644.  
  12645. &lt;p&gt;We’re tired of rainbow lanyards, non-stop Pride months, non-binary uniforms and preferred pronoun name badges.&lt;/p&gt;
  12646.  
  12647.  
  12648.  
  12649. &lt;p&gt;We are fed up with companies lecturing those who ultimately pay their wages on how we should think, speak and behave.&lt;/p&gt;
  12650.  
  12651.  
  12652.  
  12653. &lt;p&gt;Whether we’re buying a car, a beer or a coffee, we don’t want a sneering moral lecture from the people selling it.&lt;/p&gt;
  12654.  
  12655.  
  12656.  
  12657. &lt;p&gt;If you don’t want to go broke, then drop the woke.&lt;/p&gt;
  12658.  
  12659.

  12671. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Captain Tom betrayed&lt;/h3&gt;
  12672. &lt;/div&gt;
  12673. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  12676. &lt;div&gt;
  12677. &lt;p&gt;ONE of the few sights that genuinely cheered many of us up during the misery of Covid lockdowns was the sight of Captain (later Sir) Tom Moore, aged 99, slowly walking 100 laps of his garden to raise money for charity.&lt;/p&gt;
  12678. &lt;p&gt;Now a Charity Commission report into a fund set up in Capt Tom’s name after his death has revealed a shocking betrayal by the late war veteran’s own daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin, who pocketed £1.5miliion of cash to fund their own lavish lifestyle, including a new spa and pool block at their house.&lt;/p&gt;
  12679. &lt;p&gt;It defies belief that any child would betray the legacy of their own father like this.&lt;/p&gt;
  12680. &lt;p&gt;But while her name is in the gutter where it belongs, Capt Tom’s good name will live on forever.&lt;/p&gt;
  12681. &lt;/div&gt;
  12682. &lt;/div&gt;
  12683. &lt;/div&gt;
  12685.  
  12686.  
  12687.  
  12688. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;CV? Should&amp;#8217;ve checked, mate&lt;/h2&gt;
  12689.  
  12690.  
  12691.  
  12692. &lt;p&gt;FROM my very first job delivering a weekly evening paper to working in a burger shop, pubs, restaurants and offices, right up to my first newspaper job, I can remember everywhere I’ve worked and exactly what my job was.&lt;/p&gt;
  12693.  
  12694.  
  12695.  
  12696. &lt;p&gt;And so can you. Which is why it’s so peculiar that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31820954/fresh-twist-rachel-reeves-cv-row/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the Chancellor is so confused about her past.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12697.  
  12698.  
  12699.  
  12700. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867529&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/2024/11/britains-chancellor-exchequer-rachel-reeves-915594246.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a woman stands in front of a red background that says hm treasury&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867529&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;598&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;No10 yesterday dodged questions over whether Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been &amp;#8216;straight with the public&amp;#8217; about her past employment[/caption]
  12701.  
  12702.  
  12703.  
  12704. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves’&lt;/a&gt; CV is the Bermuda Triangle of former employment, prompting far more questions than answers.&lt;/p&gt;
  12705.  
  12706.  
  12707.  
  12708. &lt;p&gt;Time and again, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; have trumpeted Ms Reeves’ track record as an economist, and yet now we learn that half the time she worked in admin, while she doesn’t even know if she won a kids’ chess championship or not (she didn’t).&lt;/p&gt;
  12709.  
  12710.  
  12711.  
  12712. &lt;p&gt;Is it any wonder that a Chancellor who is so forgetful about her own jobs should care so little in her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/budget/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Budget&lt;/a&gt; about protecting everyone else’s?&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12778.  
  12779.  
  12780.  
  12781. &lt;p&gt;He slammed his car as “the worst it’s ever been” after what he described as a “disaster of a weekend”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12782.  
  12783.  
  12784.  
  12785. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lewis-hamilton/&quot;&gt;Hamilton&lt;/a&gt; finished tenth in the rain-lashed Sao Paulo Grand Prix having crossed the line 11th in the Interlagos sprint race 24 hours earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
  12786.  
  12787.  
  12788.  
  12789. &lt;p&gt;The 39-year-old — who joins Ferrari next season — then uttered a cryptic remark to his mechanics over the team radio.&lt;/p&gt;
  12790.  
  12791.  
  12792.  
  12793. &lt;p&gt;He said: “If this is the last time I get to perform it was a shame it wasn’t great but I’m grateful for you.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12794.  
  12795.  
  12796.  
  12797. &lt;p&gt;Hamilton later remarked he “could happily go and take a holiday”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12798.  
  12799.  
  12800.  
  12801. &lt;p&gt;Mercedes tried to play down the driver’s comments.&lt;/p&gt;
  12802.  
  12803.  
  12804.  
  12805. &lt;p&gt;But ahead of Sunday’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, Hamilton revealed he was genuinely ready to quit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/toto-wolff/&quot;&gt;Toto Wolff&lt;/a&gt;’s Brackley-based team early as his 12-year Mercedes career threatened to burn out with a whimper.&lt;/p&gt;
  12806.  
  12807.  
  12808.  
  12809. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;nbsp;said: “In the moment that’s how I felt, like I didn’t really want to come back after that weekend. That’s only natural.&lt;/p&gt;
  12810.

  12853. &lt;p&gt;Hamilton finished 50 seconds behind winner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/max-verstappen/&quot;&gt;Max Verstappen&lt;/a&gt; in Brazil — even though Red Bull’s triple world champ started behind him on the grid — and 27sec adrift of team-mate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/george-russell/&quot;&gt;George Russell&lt;/a&gt;, who crossed the line in fourth.&lt;/p&gt;

  12865. &lt;p&gt;Hamilton was asked about Mercedes boss Wolff saying he “liked” that the Brit chose to leave the team as it may have stopped him from possibly having to get rid of him at a later date.&lt;/p&gt;
  12866.  
  12867.  
  12868.  
  12869. &lt;p&gt;Wolff also spoke of Hamilton ­having a “shelf life” in ­Mercedes’ all-access book Inside Mercedes F1: Life in the Fast Lane.&lt;/p&gt;
  12870.  
  12871.  
  12872.  
  12873. &lt;p&gt;When Hamilton was asked if he felt he had a point to prove, the racer who has won six of his seven world crowns at Mercedes, replied: “No. Just me being here, standing tall, I feel strong. I’ve been training well, I feel great.&lt;/p&gt;

  13079. &lt;p&gt;Carer&amp;#8217;s Allowance is a helpful benefit paid to those spending a minimum of 35 hours a week caring for someone with an illness or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disability/&quot;&gt;disability&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13080.  
  13081.  
  13082.  
  13083. &lt;p&gt;It is currently paid at a weekly rate of £81.90 and anyone on the benefit is allowed to have a second income from a job.&lt;/p&gt;
  13084.  
  13085.  
  13086.  
  13087. &lt;p&gt;But this price is now due to go up to £83.30 under Labour&amp;#8217;s new budget plan.&lt;/p&gt;

  13093.  
  13094.  
  13095. &lt;p&gt;Under current rules, anyone who earns more than £151 per week is excluded from the benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
  13096.  
  13097.  
  13098.  
  13099. &lt;p&gt;Chancellor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves&lt;/a&gt; announced last month though that the upper limit was due to stretch by up to £40 in April 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  13100.  
  13101.  
  13102.  
  13103. &lt;p&gt;During her maiden Budget speech she announced changes to the benefit with it now finally being confirmed as rising to £191.&lt;/p&gt;
  13104.  
  13105.  
  13106.  
  13107. &lt;p&gt;It is the equivalent of 16 hours a week for people on the living wage.&lt;/p&gt;
  13108.  
  13109.  
  13110.  
  13111. &lt;p&gt;The announcement means an extra 60,000 carers will be eligible for Carer&amp;#8217;s Allowance.&lt;/p&gt;
  13112.  
  13113.  
  13114.  
  13115. &lt;p&gt;The £40 uplift will be the largest increase in the threshold since the benefit was introduced in 1976.&lt;/p&gt;

  13139. &lt;p&gt;Helen Walker, chief executive of Carers UK, said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s great that the Government seems to be taking swift action to end what we feel is a significant injustice for some of the most deserving people of &lt;span id=&quot;189c2f53-94f4-4643-8d1e-5d08be118e38&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;this country&lt;/span&gt;, unpaid carers.&lt;/p&gt;
  13140.  
  13141.  
  13142.  
  13143. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re delighted that this is being addressed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13144.  
  13145.  
  13146.  
  13147. &lt;p&gt;The boost will also help those who have suffered recently when being made to payback the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt; if they earn too much.&lt;/p&gt;
  13148.  
  13149.  
  13150.  
  13151. &lt;p&gt;Rules state that anyone must pay back all of the benefit they were given while earning over the £151 weekly limit.&lt;/p&gt;
  13152.  
  13153.  
  13154.  
  13155. &lt;p&gt;It has seen some carers forced to pay back huge sums&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27183564/carers-allowance-benefits-department-for-work-and-pensions/&quot;&gt;to the Government worth thousands of pounds&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13162.  
  13163. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/&quot;&gt;The Sun&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has previously highlighted cases where some individuals were required to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27183564/carers-allowance-benefits-department-for-work-and-pensions/&quot;&gt;repay up to £20,000&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after unknowingly breaching carer&amp;#8217;s allowance rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  13164.  
  13165.  
  13166.  
  13167. &lt;p&gt;You can apply for the carer&amp;#8217;s allowance by visiting www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/how-to-claim online.&lt;/p&gt;

  13178. CARER&amp;#039;S allowance is a UK benefit designed to help people who have caring responsibilities for more than 35 hours each week. &lt;/p&gt;
  13180. &lt;div&gt;
  13181. &lt;p&gt;Those eligible get £81.90 a week paid directly into bank accounts.&lt;/p&gt;
  13182. &lt;p&gt;To qualify, the person you care for must already get one of these benefits:&lt;/p&gt;
  13183. &lt;ul&gt;
  13184. &lt;li&gt;Personal independence payment (PIP) &amp;#8211; daily living component&lt;/li&gt;
  13185. &lt;li&gt;Disability living allowance &amp;#8211; the middle or highest care rate&lt;/li&gt;
  13186. &lt;li&gt;Attendance allowance&lt;/li&gt;
  13187. &lt;li&gt;Constant attendance allowance at or above the normal maximum rate with an Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit&lt;/li&gt;
  13188. &lt;li&gt;Constant attendance allowance at the basic (full day) rate with a war disablement pension&lt;/li&gt;
  13189. &lt;li&gt;Armed forces independence payment&lt;/li&gt;
  13190. &lt;/ul&gt;
  13191. &lt;p&gt;You don&amp;#8217;t have to be related to the person or live with them to apply.&lt;/p&gt;
  13192. &lt;p&gt;But if you share caring responsibilities with someone else, only one of you can make a claim.&lt;/p&gt;
  13193. &lt;p&gt;The type of care you provide can vary, but includes things such as helping with washing or cooking, taking the person to medical appointments or helping out with household tasks such as shopping or organising bills.&lt;/p&gt;
  13194. &lt;p&gt;To get the benefit, you must also meet a certain set of criteria:&lt;/p&gt;
  13195. &lt;ul&gt;
  13196. &lt;li&gt;You must be 16 or over&lt;/li&gt;
  13197. &lt;li&gt;You have to spend at least 35 hours a week caring for someone&lt;/li&gt;
  13198. &lt;li&gt;You need to have been in England, Scotland or Wales for at least two of the last three years (this does not apply if you’re a refugee or have humanitarian protection status)&lt;/li&gt;
  13199. &lt;li&gt;You must normally live in England, Scotland or Wales or live abroad as a member of the armed forces (you might still be eligible if you’re moving to or already living in an EEA country or Switzerland)&lt;/li&gt;
  13200. &lt;li&gt;You cannot be in full-time education&lt;/li&gt;
  13201. &lt;li&gt;You must not be studying for 21 hours a week or more&lt;/li&gt;
  13202. &lt;li&gt;You cannot be subject to immigration control&lt;/li&gt;
  13203. &lt;li&gt;You will also have to meet certain earnings criteria in order to get the benefit.&lt;/li&gt;
  13204. &lt;/ul&gt;
  13205. &lt;p&gt;Your earnings must also be £151 or less a week after tax, National Insurance and expenses.&lt;/p&gt;
  13206. &lt;/div&gt;
  13207. &lt;/div&gt;
  13208. &lt;/div&gt;
  13210.  
  13211.  
  13212.  
  13213. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What to do if you breach the earnings limit&lt;/h2&gt;
  13214.  
  13215.  
  13216.  
  13217. &lt;p&gt;If you breach the £151 earnings limit, you should try and proactively report it to the DWP as it is classed as a change in circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;
  13218.  
  13219.  
  13220.  
  13221. &lt;p&gt;You can report any change in circumstances online via the Government&amp;#8217;s website.&lt;/p&gt;
  13222.  
  13223.  
  13224.  
  13225. &lt;p&gt;But you&amp;#8217;ll need your&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-insurance/&quot;&gt;National Insurance&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(NI) number to hand, details of the person you&amp;#8217;re caring for and details of the change.&lt;/p&gt;
  13226.  
  13227.  
  13228.  
  13229. &lt;p&gt;If you have been overpaid Carer&amp;#8217;s Allowance, you will have to pay it back in full or instalments via the DWP Debt Management platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  13230.  
  13231.  
  13232.  
  13233. &lt;p&gt;This is also on the Government&amp;#8217;s website.&lt;/p&gt;
  13234.  
  13235.  
  13236.  
  13237. &lt;p&gt;If you don&amp;#8217;t do this, the DWP can take deductions from your work salary, or even pass your case on to a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/debt-help/&quot;&gt;debt&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;collector.&lt;/p&gt;
  13238.  
  13239.  
  13240.  
  13241. &lt;p&gt;If you don&amp;#8217;t engage with the debt collector, it may then take your case to the county&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;courts&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13242.  
  13243.  
  13244.  
  13245. &lt;p&gt;You can dispute an overpayment if you don&amp;#8217;t agree with it, but you&amp;#8217;ll need evidence as to why you claim to not have overpaid.&lt;/p&gt;
  13246.  
  13247.  
  13248.  
  13249. &lt;p&gt;You can do this via what&amp;#8217;s known as a &amp;#8220;mandatory reconsideration&amp;#8221;, which you can submit to the DWP online, via phone or by letter.&lt;/p&gt;
  13250.  
  13251.  
  13252.  
  13253. &lt;p&gt;The specific contact details you&amp;#8217;ll need to send any correspondence to will be on the decision letter you receive from the DWP.&lt;/p&gt;
  13254.  
  13255.  
  13256.  
  13257. &lt;p&gt;Once the DWP has received your mandatory reconsideration, you will receive a &amp;#8220;mandatory reconsideration notice&amp;#8221; informing you whether it has changed its decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  13258.  
  13259.  
  13260.  
  13261. &lt;p&gt;If you disagree with that outcome, you can appeal to the&amp;nbsp;Social Security&amp;nbsp;and Child Support Tribunal.&lt;/p&gt;
  13262.  
  13263.  
  13264.  
  13265. &lt;p&gt;A judge will listen to both sides of the argument before making a decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  13266.  
  13267.

  13383. &lt;p&gt;He revealed that both his parents had suffered from it.&lt;/p&gt;
  13384.  
  13385.  
  13386.  
  13387. &lt;p&gt;The former striker has undergone two operations on his hands over the years but the issue has returned.&lt;/p&gt;
  13388.  
  13389.  
  13390.  
  13391. &lt;p&gt;McCoist explained: &amp;#8220;I have got Dupuytren&amp;#8217;s. It&amp;#8217;s a hereditary thing where your fingers close in.&lt;/p&gt;
  13392.  
  13393.  
  13394.  
  13395. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have had them done twice. I went to see the doctor and he said to me &amp;#8216;Did your grandfather have it?&amp;#8217;. I said &amp;#8216;I don&amp;#8217;t know&amp;#8217; because I never met any of my grandfathers, sadly they passed before I was born.&lt;/p&gt;
  13396.  
  13397.  
  13398.  
  13399. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I said to him &amp;#8216;But my dad had it&amp;#8217;. He lifted his head up and said &amp;#8216;You&amp;#8217;re unlucky because it normally skips a generation&amp;#8217;. I said &amp;#8216;That&amp;#8217;s good news because I have got five boys&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13400.  
  13401.  
  13402.  
  13403. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My wee mum had it as well. My mum had it, my dad had it, it&amp;#8217;s a hereditary thing.&lt;/p&gt;

And I swear to God nine years later it came back.&lt;/p&gt;
  13408.  
  13409.  
  13410.  
  13411. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;I have seen myself sending a text message which takes me five minutes to text with one finger when I should just dial the number.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13419. &lt;p&gt;Dupuytren&amp;#8217;s contracture &amp;#8211; also known as &amp;#8216;Viking disease&amp;#8217; &amp;#8211; is an inherited condition that causes an abnormal thickening of the skin in the palm of your hand at the base of your fingers.&lt;/p&gt;
  13420.  
  13421.  
  13422.  
  13423. &lt;p&gt;It can cause one or more fingers to curl towards the palm or pull sideways.&lt;/p&gt;

  13447. &lt;p&gt;It is estimated that two million people in Britain have some degree of Dupuytren&amp;#8217;s.&lt;/p&gt;
  13448.  
  13449.  
  13450.  
  13451. &lt;p&gt;The cause is unknown but it runs in families and worsens with age.&lt;/p&gt;
  13452.  
  13453.  
  13454.  
  13455. &lt;p&gt;McCoist is one of the UK&amp;#8217;s most beloved football pundits and commentators.&lt;/p&gt;

  13470. Dupuytren&amp;#039;s contracture mainly affects the ring and little fingers. It&amp;#039;s common to have it in both hands at the same time. &lt;/p&gt;
  13472. &lt;div&gt;
  13473. &lt;p&gt;It tends to get slowly worse over many months or years.&lt;/p&gt;
  13474. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not usually painful, but it can affect how you use your hand.&lt;/p&gt;
  13475. &lt;p&gt;It starts with lumps, dimples or ridges on your palm.&lt;/p&gt;
  13476. &lt;p&gt;Eventually, 1 or more of your fingers may get stuck in a bent position.&lt;/p&gt;
  13477. &lt;p&gt;There are 3 main types of treatment:&lt;/p&gt;
  13478. &lt;ul&gt;
  13479. &lt;li&gt;surgery to remove the affected tissue in the hand (fasciectomy)&lt;/li&gt;
  13480. &lt;li&gt;using a needle to make small cuts in the affected tissue (needle fasciotomy)&lt;/li&gt;
  13481. &lt;li&gt;surgery to remove the affected tissue and skin (dermofasciectomy)&lt;/li&gt;
  13482. &lt;/ul&gt;

  13557.  
  13558.  
  13559.  
  13560. &lt;p&gt;The club first teased the announcement with a short, zoomed in clip into the former Barcelona manager&amp;#8217;s eye.&lt;/p&gt;
  13561.  
  13562.  
  13563.  
  13564. &lt;p&gt;Guardiola said: “Manchester City means so much to me. This is my ninth season here.&lt;/p&gt;
  13565.  
  13566.  
  13567.  
  13568. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have experienced so many amazing times together. I have a really special feeling for this football club. &lt;/p&gt;
  13569.  
  13570.

  13572. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That is why I am so happy to be staying for another two more seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  13573.  
  13574.  
  13575.  
  13576. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hopefully now we can add more trophies to the ones we have&lt;br&gt;already won. That will be my focus.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13577.  
  13578.  
  13579.  
  13580. &lt;p&gt;It will take his time at the Etihad up to 11 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  13581.

  13583.  
  13584. &lt;p&gt;Guardiola joined City back in 2016 following the departure of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/manuel-pellegrini/&quot;&gt;Manuel Pellegrini&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13615. By Neil Custis &lt;/p&gt;
  13617. &lt;div&gt;
  13618. &lt;p&gt;ERLING HAALAND hailed Pep Guardiola as the greatest manager of all time.&lt;/p&gt;
  13619. &lt;p&gt;Manchester City boss Pep has signed a new two-year deal to stay at the Etihad and now the Prem champions want to convince their star striker to follow suit.&lt;/p&gt;
  13620. &lt;p&gt;And Haaland — who has scored 105 goals in 114 appearances for City — saluted the Spaniard.&lt;/p&gt;
  13621. &lt;p&gt;The 24-year-old Norwegian said: “He is the best manager in the world.&lt;br /&gt;“I think we all know he’s probably the best that ever existed on the earth.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13622. &lt;p&gt;After arriving from Borussia ­Dortmund for £51million in July 2022, Haaland was a key part as City landed the Treble of Champions League, Prem and FA Cup in his first season.&lt;/p&gt;
  13623. &lt;p&gt;And last term he helped Guardiola’s men seal a fourth Prem title in a row.&lt;/p&gt;
  13624. &lt;p&gt;The prolific marksman puts all City’s ­success down to the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich chief.&lt;/p&gt;
  13625. &lt;p&gt;Haaland added: “I expected loads of things from him and he has been ­delivering up to this every single second, so I’m super happy and you can see that when I play.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13626. &lt;p&gt;Guardiola moved to City from Bayern in the summer of 2016 and has won six league titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, the Champions League and the Club World Club.&lt;/p&gt;
  13627. &lt;p&gt;He won three titles each at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, plus two Champions Leagues with Barca.&lt;/p&gt;
  13628. &lt;p&gt;City feared he may leave at the end of this season but instead the 53-year-old has signed a new contract to stay on.&lt;/p&gt;
  13629. &lt;p&gt;Etihad chiefs hope Pep’s commitment will boost their chances of Haaland agreeing a £100m package — as revealed by SunSport this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  13630. &lt;p&gt;Barcelona have been linked with a swoop for the hitman. But Haaland — due to be back in Prem action at home to Spurs tomorrow —  has 2½ years left on his £375,000-a-week-plus-bonuses deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  13631. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Guardiola believes he will know when the time is right for him to walk away.&lt;/p&gt;
  13632. &lt;p&gt;He said: “I enjoy being here, I like my job.&lt;/p&gt;
  13633. &lt;p&gt;“I said many times, the moment I don’t have that feeling — even with a contract — I will call my chairman, my CEO and say the best thing for the club is for me to leave.&lt;/p&gt;
  13634. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t have that feeling right now, so I’ve extended.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13635. &lt;p&gt;This is the fourth contract extension he has signed with City.&lt;/p&gt;
  13636. &lt;p&gt;Pep admitted: “Every time I signed the contract I’d say it’s the last two years — and still we are here. So honestly, myself and my staff, we deserve to be here. We deserve the chance after four defeats in a row to bounce back.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13637. &lt;p&gt;City have struggled since the serious knee injury to midfield linchpin Rodri in September and face an uphill task to retain their title.&lt;/p&gt;
  13638. &lt;p&gt;Pep added: “This season we have won one [Community Shield] and maybe we are not going to win the other ones but this is not the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  13639. &lt;p&gt;“The problem is what’s next, what decisions do we have to take to still be in there. Still be a good team.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13640. &lt;/div&gt;
  13641. &lt;/div&gt;
  13642. &lt;/div&gt;
  13644.  
  13645.  
  13646.  
  13647. &lt;p&gt;He has won 18 trophies during his time in English &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt;, including six Premier League titles — second in the all-time list behind former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; manager Sir &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alex-ferguson/&quot;&gt;Alex Ferguson&lt;/a&gt; (13).&lt;/p&gt;
  13648.  
  13649.  
  13650.  
  13651. &lt;p&gt;But there had been speculation regarding his future in recent weeks amid the club&amp;#8217;s legal battle with Prem bosses.&lt;/p&gt;
  13652.  
  13653.  
  13654.  
  13655. &lt;p&gt;The hearing into City&amp;#8217;s alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play has entered it&amp;#8217;s 10th week.&lt;/p&gt;
  13656.  
  13657.  
  13658.  
  13659. &lt;p&gt;City are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30405313/man-city-hearing-115-charges-date-start-monday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;currently facing 115 charges&lt;/a&gt; relating to their financial dealings between 2009 and 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
  13660.  
  13661.  
  13662.  
  13663. &lt;p&gt;If found guilty, the Prem giants could face a significant punishment.&lt;/p&gt;
  13664.  
  13665.  
  13666.  
  13667. &lt;p&gt;They may even be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30528887/man-city-face-expelled-all-competitions-breaches/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;expelled from the top division.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13668.  
  13669.  
  13670.  
  13671. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/rr-sports-graphic-mancity-plcharges-7.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/rr-sports-graphic-mancity-plcharges-7.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=492&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-21305227&quot; width=&quot;492&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  13672.  
  13673.  
  13674.  
  13675. &lt;p&gt;But it is understood that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31828864/pep-guardiola-man-city-contract-115-charges/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Guardiola&amp;#8217;s contract will &lt;strong&gt;NOT &lt;/strong&gt;have a break clause.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13676.  
  13677.  
  13678.  
  13679. &lt;p&gt;This means his new deal will not be affected by the outcome of the club&amp;#8217;s hearing into the charges and if City were relegated.&lt;/p&gt;
  13680.  
  13681.  
  13682.  
  13683. &lt;p&gt;However, SunSport understands that it is unlikely that that the Cityzens would be dumped from all&amp;nbsp;competitions&amp;nbsp;despite the rules allowing for it to happen.&lt;/p&gt;
  13684.  
  13685.  
  13686.  
  13687. &lt;p&gt;With Guardiola agreeing to stay, he will be forced to lead City through the storm of whatever penalty &amp;#8211; if any &amp;#8211; they receive.&lt;/p&gt;
  13688.  
  13689.  
  13690.  
  13691. &lt;p&gt;In 2022-23, he helped City become only the second English side after Ferguson’s 1998-99 team to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22607605/man-city-win-treble-inter-milan/#:~:text=MANCHESTER%20CITY%20have%20made%20history,League%20in%20a%20single%20season.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;win the Treble&lt;/a&gt; — comprising the Prem, FA Cup and Champions League.&lt;/p&gt;
  13692.  
  13693.  
  13694.  
  13695. &lt;p&gt;Last term his side made history by becoming the first team to win four successive top-flight titles.&lt;/p&gt;
  13696.  
  13697.  
  13698.  
  13699. &lt;p&gt;The structure of Guardiola&amp;#8217;s deal is the same as the contract he signed in November 2020 and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20509162/pep-guardiola-new-man-city-deal-2025/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;November 2022.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13700.  
  13701.  
  13702.  
  13703. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867966&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/2024/11/file-photo-dated-10-08-951056733.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man with his arms in the air wearing a shirt that says fifa world cup&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867966&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;Guardiola has won 18 trophies during his time at the Etihad[/caption]
  13704.  
  13705.  
  13706.  
  13707. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867969&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/2024/11/file-photo-dated-10-06-951056705.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man holding a trophy that says champions league europe&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867969&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;The Spaniard matched Fergie&amp;#8217;s Treble winning feat in 2022-23[/caption]
  13708.  
  13709.  
  13710.  
  13711. &lt;p&gt;The decision to extend also alleviates any potential problems of a managerial handover during a hectic summer that will see City compete at the Club World Cup in America.&lt;/p&gt;
  13712.  
  13713.  
  13714.  
  13715. &lt;p&gt;City &amp;#8211; second in the table, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/31634860/liverpool-replace-man-city-premier-league-favourites/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;winless in four,&lt;/a&gt; and four points behind leaders Liverpool &amp;#8211; return to action at home to Tottenham on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  13716.  
  13717.  
  13718.  
  13719. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Guardiola&lt;/a&gt; added: &amp;#8220;I felt I could not leave now – simple as that. Maybe the four defeats was the reason why. I felt the club still wanted me.&lt;/p&gt;
  13720.  
  13721.  
  13722.  
  13723. &lt;p&gt;“Firstly because we won a lot, I feel love. But it’s a business and you have to win. I have a contract but I know if we don’t win I won’t continue.&lt;/p&gt;
  13724.  
  13725.  
  13726.  
  13727. &lt;p&gt;“The moment it’s done, the club will know it. And at this moment we didn’t feel it.&lt;/p&gt;
  13728.  
  13729.  
  13730.  
  13731. &lt;p&gt;“Every time I signed the contract I say it’s the last two – and still we are here. &lt;/p&gt;
  13732.  
  13733.  
  13734.  
  13735. &lt;p&gt;“So honestly myself and my staff, we deserve to be here. I’m not arrogant to say it, it’s the truth. We deserve the chance – after four defeats in a row – to bounce back and try to turn the situation.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13736.  
  13737.  
  13738.  
  13739. &lt;p&gt;This is the first time Guardiola has endured such a streak of losses &amp;#8211; excluding penalty shootouts &amp;#8211; in his managerial career.&lt;/p&gt;

  13808. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; Day special on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; One will see &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gavin-and-stacey/&quot;&gt;Gavin and Stacey&lt;/a&gt; look to spice up their, now lengthy, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13809.  
  13810.  
  13811.  
  13812. &lt;p&gt;Nessa, who proposed to Smithy at the end of the last episode in 2019, has also started a new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; venture.&lt;/p&gt;
  13813.  
  13814.  
  13815.  
  13816. &lt;p&gt;We recently revealed how James Cordon hinted that a major character from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gavin-and-stacey/&quot;&gt;Gavin &amp;amp; Stacey&lt;/a&gt; may meet a tragic fate in the upcoming Christmas special.&lt;/p&gt;
  13817.  
  13818.  
  13819.  
  13820. &lt;p&gt;While keeping details under wraps, James suggested that fans should prepare for unexpected twists in the beloved &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30493690/gavin-and-stacey-christmas-special-plot/&quot;&gt;show&amp;#8217;s festive return.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13821.  
  13822.  
  13823.  
  13824. &lt;p&gt;He has teased fans that the long-awaited&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30493690/gavin-and-stacey-christmas-special-plot/&quot;&gt; festive special&lt;/a&gt; will include a character’s funeral.&lt;/p&gt;
  13825.  
  13826.  
  13827.  
  13828. &lt;p&gt;His comments has sparked speculation that much-loved Uncle Bryn will pass away.&lt;/p&gt;
  13829.  
  13830.  
  13831.  
  13832. &lt;p&gt;Stacey’s Uncle Bryn, played by Would I Lie To You? host &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30907314/rob-brydon-destination-x-gavin-and-stacey/&quot;&gt;Rob Brydon&lt;/a&gt;, 59, has been in the show since its 2007 pilot.&lt;/p&gt;
  13833.  
  13834.  
  13835.  
  13836. &lt;p&gt;At The Global Gift Gala&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;event in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;this week, James revealed: “What we were editing today was a very moving and emotional scene at Bryn’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/funeral/&quot;&gt;funeral&lt;/a&gt;. I’m joking, I promise. Or am I?”&lt;/p&gt;
  13837.  
  13838.  
  13839.  
  13840. &lt;p id=&quot;amp-readmore-target&quot;&gt;He previously admitted the last episode, due to be screened on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;Christmas&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;Day, will be “hard to watch”.&lt;/p&gt;
  13841.  
  13842.  
  13843.  
  13844. &lt;p&gt;The last&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gavin-and-stacey/&quot;&gt;Gavin &amp;amp; Stacey&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;episode was aired at Christmas in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  13845.  
  13846.  
  13847.  
  13848. &lt;p&gt;Viewers are hoping for a happy ending for Nessa and Smithy as the episode was left on a cliffhanger.&lt;/p&gt;

  13917.  
  13918.  
  13919.  
  13920. &lt;p&gt;He shared photos of the two together from over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
  13921.  
  13922.  
  13923.  
  13924. &lt;p&gt;Wayne penned: &amp;#8220;Happy birthday Duaney. Love you beyond infinity.&lt;/p&gt;
  13925.  
  13926.  
  13927.  
  13928. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My first son and 40 years later never once have you not made me proud.&lt;/p&gt;
  13929.  
  13930.  
  13931.  
  13932. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Just weeks ago I was speaking about you to a mutual friend and he said to me these words, &amp;#8216;Duane is everything you can ever dream of in a son.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  13933.  
  13934.  
  13935.  
  13936. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He could not have said anything that can explain my love and my respect for you than this as it&amp;#8217;s the truth.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13937.  
  13938.  
  13939.  
  13940. &lt;p&gt;Continuing, he added: &amp;#8220;You are also everything you can ever dream of in a husband, a father, a brother and a friend.&lt;/p&gt;
  13941.  
  13942.  
  13943.  
  13944. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you for all the care, the love and the happiness you have brought to your Dad&amp;#8217;s life.&lt;/p&gt;
  13945.  
  13946.  
  13947.  
  13948. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We all laugh as you should be the father and me the son.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13949.  
  13950.  
  13951.  
  13952. &lt;p&gt;In addition to being Wayne&amp;#8217;s son, Duane is also his partner in several businesses.&lt;/p&gt;

  14112. &lt;p&gt;Amorim appears to have taken an immediate shine to Yoro.&lt;/p&gt;
  14113.

  14116. &lt;p&gt;The teenage talent could make his debut away at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225846/ipswich-town/&quot;&gt;Ipswich Town&lt;/a&gt; on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
  14117.  
  14118.  
  14119.  
  14120. &lt;p&gt;Amorim is expected to bring in his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31859716/ruben-amorim-marcus-rashford-style/#:~:text=Rashford%20must%20let%20go%20of,one%20alongside%20captain%20Bruno%20Fernandes.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;favourite 3-4-3 &lt;/a&gt;formation, which saw him win two titles with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sporting-lisbon/&quot;&gt;Sporting Lisbon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14121.  
  14122.  
  14123.  
  14124. &lt;p&gt;The Frenchman was among the first players to meet the new boss when he arrived at the start of the international break.&lt;/p&gt;

  14129.  
  14130.  
  14131.  
  14132. &lt;p&gt;Amorim, 39, did not have a full squad of first-team players to work with because many of his top stars were on international duty.&lt;/p&gt;
  14133.  
  14134.  
  14135.  
  14136. &lt;p&gt;He will be cautious with Yoro&amp;#8217;s return, but he could be forced to throw him into action at Portman Road amid uncertainty surrounding other centre-backs.&lt;/p&gt;

  14160. &lt;p&gt;United are going through yet another injury crisis at the back, after Lisandro Martinez and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/victor-lindelof/&quot;&gt;Victor Lindelof&lt;/a&gt; withdrew from their national teams over the break.&lt;/p&gt;

  14181. By Charlie Wyett &lt;/p&gt;
  14183. &lt;div&gt;
  14184. &lt;p&gt;RUBEN AMORIM would have preferred to leave Lisbon in a blaze of glory after winning a third Primeira Liga title.&lt;/p&gt;
  14185. &lt;p&gt;Yet football does not work like that. And in what was surely his final game before taking charge of Manchester United, Amorim prepared to say his goodbyes at a half-empty Estadio Jose Alvalade in a League Cup quarter-final against Nacional.&lt;/p&gt;
  14186. &lt;p&gt;Sporting won 3-1 thanks to&amp;nbsp; second-half goals by captain&amp;nbsp; Morten Hjulmand and Viktor Gyokeres, who scored two.&lt;/p&gt;
  14187. &lt;p&gt;Luis Esteves pulled back for Madeira-based Nacional.&lt;/p&gt;
  14188. &lt;p&gt;The stadium&amp;nbsp; will be a good deal more lively on Tuesday when Manchester City are here for&amp;nbsp; a Champions League match — although Amorim should by then have his feet firmly under his desk at Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  14189. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool and Aston Villa were both interested in Europe’s most sought-after coach. Even City could have been a possible destination post-Pep Guardiola.&lt;/p&gt;
  14190. &lt;p&gt;Yet the United job is one Amorim, 39,&amp;nbsp; could not turn&amp;nbsp; down — even if not everyone saw it that way at Sporting last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  14191. &lt;p&gt;There is clearly a huge split in the Portuguese club’s fan base over their coach leaving at this stage of the season with many believing he should have seen the job through.&lt;/p&gt;
  14192. &lt;p&gt;Yet Amorim, along with the three-man coaching team who are expected to follow him, leaves a club in a much better state than when he arrived here in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  14193. &lt;p&gt;Inside the stadium, there was applause — albeit muted — when his name was read out before the game along with the line-ups.&lt;/p&gt;
  14194. &lt;p&gt;And there did not appear to be any jeers when Amorim shuffled out from the tunnel awkwardly towards the dugout.&lt;/p&gt;
  14195. &lt;p&gt;So, while his departure is hard to take for some, none of the fans will forget his legacy.&lt;/p&gt;
  14196. &lt;p&gt;This is a club which is back as the dominant force in Portugal. Even this term, Sporting have won their first nine league games, scoring 30 goals and conceding just two.&lt;/p&gt;
  14197. &lt;p&gt;They are also eighth in the Champions League table, which is one hell of an effort.&lt;/p&gt;
  14198. &lt;p&gt;In contrast, Lisbon was not exactly hit by League Cup fever last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  14199. &lt;p&gt;Amorim made lots of changes, which saw Sporting’s star man Gyokeres, the former Coventry striker, start on the bench.&lt;/p&gt;
  14200. &lt;p&gt;There was, however, a first appearance in six weeks for former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards. &lt;/p&gt;
  14201. &lt;p&gt;He is certainly one player who has been transformed by Amorim since arriving at the club from Vitoria in 2022 and will be sorry to see the coach leave.&lt;/p&gt;
  14202. &lt;p&gt;While he changed his team, Amorim stuck with his tried and trusted formation of a back three.&lt;/p&gt;
  14203. &lt;p&gt;It will certainly be something Manchester United’s fans will have to get used to over the&amp;nbsp; coming months.&lt;/p&gt;
  14204. &lt;p&gt;But looking at the Premier League table, none of them will be complaining about the change.&lt;/p&gt;
  14205. &lt;/div&gt;
  14206. &lt;/div&gt;

  14266. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on an Instagram story, Jake said: &amp;#8220;I can&amp;#8217;t believe I&amp;#8217;m saying this but some little c**** tried to rob my house with my two-year-old and my partner who is nearly eight months pregnant, armed with a machete.&lt;/p&gt;
  14267.  
  14268.  
  14269.

  14271.  
  14272.

  14274. &lt;p&gt;In 2021, the couple moved into the sprawling&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13448564/inside-charlotte-crosby-sunderland-mansion-makeover/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; Sunderland property together which is worth at least £1million&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  14286. &lt;p&gt;Just a few days ago, Crosby was left in floods of tears, saying: &amp;#8220;It’s just so hard,&amp;#8221; as she revealed her huge mum guilt.&lt;/p&gt;
  14287.  
  14288.  
  14289.  
  14290. &lt;p&gt;She told fans about her regret over leaving her little girl for a work trip.&lt;/p&gt;

  14295.  
  14296.  
  14297.  
  14298. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Alba literally moved up to a new room today and the nursery&amp;#8230; I knew that she was probably gonna have a little cry about going in there, but I didn’t know how much she was gonna cry and how switched on she was about how she wanted to go to her old room.&lt;/p&gt;
  14299.  
  14300.  
  14301.  
  14302. &lt;p&gt;“So when I was like, ‘Oh no, we have to go up the stairs,’ she was like&amp;#8230; Just so hard. Obviously, so hormonal, but it&amp;#8217;s horrible. It’s horrible.&lt;/p&gt;
  14303.

  14323.  
  14324.  
  14325.  
  14326. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to The Sun recently, she said: &amp;#8220;I left Geordie Shore and didn&amp;#8217;t want to be involved in a show where you live and breathe drama, drunkenness and arguments. I just wasn&amp;#8217;t about that anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
  14327.  
  14328.  
  14329.  
  14330. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When I got offered to be the Boss, I thought it was a great chance to still be involved in what I love and always done, but not be fully involved.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14341. &lt;div&gt;
  14342. &lt;p&gt;The pair met back in 2021 while Charlotte was getting over her break-up with ex-boyfriend Liam Beaumont.&lt;/p&gt;
  14343. &lt;p&gt;They were introduced by mutual friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  14344. &lt;p&gt;Charlotte and Jake then went official with their relationship in January 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  14345. &lt;p&gt;The following month the Geordie Shore star found out she was pregnant.&lt;/p&gt;
  14346. &lt;p&gt;Charlotte and Jake revealed they were expecting in April 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  14347. &lt;p&gt;They welcomed baby Alba-Jean into the world in October that year.&lt;/p&gt;
  14348. &lt;p&gt;In November 2023 the couple got engaged.&lt;/p&gt;
  14349. &lt;/div&gt;

  14417.  
  14418.  
  14419.  
  14420. &lt;p&gt;Billy Monger, 25, who has a glowing career in racing, is the sixth and final celebrity to have been announced.&lt;/p&gt;
  14421.  
  14422.  
  14423.  
  14424. &lt;p&gt;The racing driver is also a sports commentator and disability activist, who had both his legs amputated after an accident.&lt;/p&gt;
  14425.  
  14426.  
  14427.  
  14428. &lt;p&gt;In April 2017, Billy was critically injured in a collision at Donington Park that caused both of his legs to be amputated.&lt;/p&gt;
  14429.  
  14430.  
  14431.  
  14432. &lt;p&gt;Billy also previously competed on the first celebrity special of Race Across The World alongside his sister Bonny.&lt;/p&gt;
  14433.  
  14434.  
  14435.  
  14436. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about joining the cast of Strictly for their Christmas special this year, Billy has confessed that the thought of donning sequins in front of the judging panel fills him with fear.&lt;/p&gt;
  14437.  
  14438.  
  14439.  
  14440. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ve spent the last 12 months training 20 hours a week for an Ironman world record attempt. &lt;/p&gt;
  14441.  
  14442.  
  14443.  
  14444. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But the thought of donning sequins in front of Craig Revel Horwood fills me with a fear I’ve never experienced before,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14445.  
  14446.  
  14447.  
  14448. &lt;p&gt;He went on to say, &amp;#8220;This is about as far from my comfort zone as it can get! &lt;/p&gt;
  14449.  
  14450.  
  14451.  
  14452. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My family are big Strictly fans, so I’m doing it for them and to raise awareness for what I’m doing for Comic Relief next year. &lt;/p&gt;
  14453.  
  14454.  
  14455.  
  14456. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’m just hoping my leg doesn’t fall off mid-dance!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14481.  
  14482.  
  14483.  
  14484. &lt;p&gt;Billy will be performing with a fan-favourite professional dancer this Christmas, and it&amp;#8217;s safe to say that viewers will likely be overjoyed.&lt;/p&gt;
  14485.  
  14486.  
  14487.  
  14488. &lt;p&gt;The Formula 3 driver will be dancing with Nadiya Bychkova in the Christmas special.  &lt;/p&gt;
  14489.  
  14490.  
  14491.  
  14492. &lt;p&gt;Reacting to the news that Billy will star in this year&amp;#8217;s Christmas special, fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;
  14493.  
  14494.  
  14495.  
  14496. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Billy will be so good,&amp;#8221; penned one.&lt;/p&gt;

  14507. On Christmas Day, Strictly Come Dancing will return for a festive special with six celebrities... but who are they and who will they be paired with &lt;/p&gt;
  14509. &lt;div&gt;
  14510. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The celebrities and their professional dance partners are&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14511. &lt;p&gt;Josh Widdicombe will be paired with Karen&lt;/p&gt;
  14512. &lt;p&gt;Tayce with Kai &lt;/p&gt;
  14513. &lt;p&gt;Vogue Williams with Carlos &lt;/p&gt;
  14514. &lt;p&gt;Harry Aikines-Aryeetey with Nancy &lt;/p&gt;
  14515. &lt;p&gt;Tamzin Outhwaite and Nikita&lt;/p&gt;
  14516. &lt;p&gt;Billy Monger with Nadiya&lt;/p&gt;
  14517. &lt;/div&gt;
  14518. &lt;/div&gt;
  14519. &lt;/div&gt;
  14521.  
  14522.  
  14523.  
  14524. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Love this. What a great guy,&amp;#8221; added a second.&lt;/p&gt;
  14525.  
  14526.  
  14527.  
  14528. &lt;p&gt;A third then pleaded, &amp;#8220;Excellent choice. I hope Billy does the whole strictly series!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14529.  
  14530.  
  14531.  
  14532. &lt;p&gt;While a fourth said, &amp;#8220;Loved Billy Monger on Race Across the World &amp;#8211; can’t wait to see him with Nadiya at Christmas!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14533.  
  14534.  
  14535.  
  14536. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;CORE SERIES NEARING END&lt;/h2&gt;
  14537.  
  14538.  
  14539.  
  14540. &lt;p&gt;This comes as the 2024 core series nears the end, which follows on from a fun-filled week at Blackpool.&lt;/p&gt;
  14541.  
  14542.  
  14543.  
  14544. &lt;p&gt;But the fun had to end for one of the couples, with Welsh Opera singer Wynne and his professional dance partner Katya becoming the eighth pair to be voted off Strictly at the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  14545.  
  14546.  
  14547.  
  14548. &lt;p&gt;During the Blackpool episode, Wynne and Katya were up against former X Factor winner Shayne Ward and his pro dancer Nancy Xu.&lt;/p&gt;
  14549.  
  14550.  
  14551.  
  14552. &lt;p&gt;Fans reacted after the couple was booted off the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  14553.  
  14554.  
  14555.  
  14556. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Right decision but I&amp;#8217;m sad to see Wynne and Katya go. Katya&amp;#8217;s my fave pro and Wynne seems like a lovely man. &lt;/p&gt;
  14557.  
  14558.  
  14559.  
  14560. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I wish people wouldn&amp;#8217;t say &amp;#8216;thank god for that&amp;#8217; and &amp;#8216;it&amp;#8217;s about time&amp;#8217;, Wynne&amp;#8217;s deserved his place in the competition as much as everyone else. I&amp;#8217;ll miss him,&amp;#8221; penned one.&lt;/p&gt;
  14561.  
  14562.  
  14563.  
  14564. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Christmas Day&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14641.  
  14642.  
  14643.  
  14644. &lt;p&gt;The dupe comes in at only £14.99 and is available in two separate festive scents.&lt;/p&gt;
  14645.  
  14646.  
  14647.  
  14648. &lt;p&gt;Home Bargains describes the candle online, saying: &amp;#8220;Transform your holiday evenings into moments of pure comfort with our Luxury Spotted Scented Candle. &lt;/p&gt;
  14649.  
  14650.  
  14651.  
  14652. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Weighing 1.2kg, this beautifully crafted candle is designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a cosy night during the Christmas season.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14653.  
  14654.  
  14655.

  14657.  
  14658.  
  14659.  
  14660. &lt;p&gt;Many shoppers have noted this clean look as having a striking resemblance to the Baobab Collection versions.&lt;/p&gt;
  14661.  
  14662.  
  14663.  
  14664. &lt;p&gt;The fragrance specialists have decades of experience making the perfect candles.&lt;/p&gt;
  14665.  
  14666.  
  14667.  
  14668. &lt;p&gt;One of their go to offerings is the White Pearls scented candle.&lt;/p&gt;
  14669.  
  14670.

  14672. &lt;p&gt;It also comes in an elegant glass holder and is decorated with off-white patterns.&lt;/p&gt;
  14673.  
  14674.  
  14675.  
  14676. &lt;p&gt;The candle &amp;#8211; a centrepiece for any home &amp;#8211; comes in a range of sizes with even the cheapest and smallest one being £40 more than in Home Bargains.&lt;/p&gt;

  14701.  
  14702.  
  14703.  
  14704. &lt;p&gt;For £230 shoppers can bag up a 5.2kg candle from the luxury retailer with the priciest option &amp;#8211; a hefty 14 inch, 10.3kg scent &amp;#8211; being a staggering £475.&lt;/p&gt;
  14705.  
  14706.  
  14707.  
  14708. &lt;p&gt;The smells are slightly different between the dupe and the branded alternative. &lt;/p&gt;
  14709.  
  14710.  
  14711.  
  14712. &lt;p&gt;But both candles feature main hints of ginger, rose and grapefruit. &lt;/p&gt;
  14713.  
  14714.  
  14715.  
  14716. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; was soon flooded with videos on the dupe as more and more people discovered the bargain find.&lt;/p&gt;
  14717.  
  14718.  
  14719.  
  14720. &lt;p&gt;Dozens of eager shoppers quickly snapped up the wallet friendly gift with many leaving reviews of the item online.&lt;/p&gt;
  14721.  
  14722.  
  14723.  
  14724. &lt;p&gt;One proudly labelled it &amp;#8220;great value for money&amp;#8221; as many more made it clear they planned on heading to their nearest Home Bargains to get the candle.&lt;/p&gt;
  14725.  
  14726.  
  14727.  
  14728. &lt;p&gt;Another said: &amp;#8220;As someone who spent £700 on Baobab candles.. I wish i&amp;#8217;d of waited just a year longer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14729.  
  14730.  
  14731.  
  14732. &lt;p&gt;As a third wrote: &amp;#8220;Okay I&amp;#8217;m running to home bargains tomorrow! Need the black speckle one immediately.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14733.  
  14734.  
  14735.  
  14736. &lt;p&gt;Social media detectives also quickly realised that Home Bargains sell the elegant scents in matching diffusers.&lt;/p&gt;
  14737.  
  14738.  
  14739.  
  14740. &lt;p&gt;Despite the mega bargains on offer at Home Bargains, shoppers have been urged to shop around to look for the best value products as stores and prices are constantly changing. &lt;/p&gt;
  14741.  
  14742.  
  14743.  
  14744. &lt;p&gt;It comes as money-savvy shoppers rushed to Home Bargains to buy even more &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31488792/home-bargain-festive-candles-sell-out/&quot;&gt;candles and diffusers that create a festive atmosphere&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14745.  
  14746.  
  14747.  
  14748. &lt;p&gt;One customer raved that they had been “waiting all year” for the budget-friendly retailer’s most coveted scent.&lt;/p&gt;
  14749.  
  14750.

  14845.  
  14846. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Cops &lt;/a&gt;said they believed her husband Pankaj Lamba, 23, was responsible for the killing and had since fled the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  14847.  
  14848.  
  14849.  
  14850. &lt;p&gt;The fresh CCTV grabs show Lamba and Harshita together in the area of a boating lake on Sunday, November 10.&lt;/p&gt;
  14851.  
  14852.  
  14853.  
  14854. &lt;p&gt;Detectives believe Harshita was murdered the same evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  14855.  
  14856.  
  14857.  
  14858. &lt;p&gt;The pair appear to have been last spotted at Corby Boating Lake, on Cottingham Road and Westcott Way. &lt;/p&gt;
  14859.  
  14860.  
  14861.  
  14862. &lt;p&gt;Officers confirmed they have searched the site as part of their ongoing investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  14863.  
  14864.  
  14865.  
  14866. &lt;p&gt;Detectives also appealed to anyone who was in that area between 6pm and 9pm on Sunday. &lt;/p&gt;
  14867.  
  14868.  
  14869.  
  14870. &lt;p&gt;Northamptonshire Police previously attended Harshita&amp;#8217;s address on November 13 after receiving a call regarding concerns for her welfare.&lt;/p&gt;
  14871.  
  14872.  
  14873.  
  14874. &lt;p&gt;After the grim discovery in the capital the following morning, a forensic postmortem examination carried out at Leicester Royal Infirmary gave the preliminary cause of death as strangulation.&lt;/p&gt;
  14875.  
  14876.  
  14877.  
  14878. &lt;p&gt;They suspect Lamba transported Harshita’s body from Corby to Ilford by car after killing her.&lt;/p&gt;
  14879.  
  14880.  
  14881.  
  14882. &lt;p&gt;The vehicle was left parked in Brisbane Road, Ilford, and detectives believe Lamba then fled the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  14883.  
  14884.  
  14885.  
  14886. &lt;p&gt;Detectives have been trawling through hours of CCTV footage in Corby and Ilford.&lt;/p&gt;
  14887.  
  14888.  
  14889.  
  14890. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this week, the force released images of Mr Lamba in the Ilford area and issued an urgent appeal for information.&lt;/p&gt;
  14891.  
  14892.  
  14893.  
  14894. &lt;p&gt;They are now urging anyone who was in the Cottingham Road area of Corby on the evening of Sunday, November 10, who may have dashcam footage or other information to come forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  14895.  
  14896.  
  14897.  
  14898. &lt;p&gt;Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell from the East Midlands Special Operations Major Crime Unit (EMSOU), said: “Our inquiries have established that Pankaj and Harshita were in the area of the boating lake on Sunday evening, and as part of our ongoing investigation we have carried out searches in the surrounding area.&lt;/p&gt;

  14911.  
  14912.  
  14913.  
  14914. &lt;p&gt;“We know that it’s a busy part of the town and there will have been a lot of passing traffic. As such, we’re appealing to anyone who was in Corby between 6pm and 9pm on Sunday, November 10, specifically in the area around the Corby Boating Lake, Cottingham Road and Westcott Way.&lt;/p&gt;
  14915.  
  14916.  
  14917.  
  14918. &lt;p&gt;“If you have any dashcam footage, or other information that may be relevant to the investigation, however small, please contact us as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  14919.  
  14920.  
  14921.  
  14922. &lt;p&gt;“Any information you have may help us piece together exactly what happened to Harshita and help bring her killer to justice.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14923.  
  14924.  
  14925.  
  14926. &lt;p&gt;Assistant Chief Constable Emma James said: “Following Harshita’s death, Northamptonshire Police reviewed the Force’s handling of an investigation which was launched following a domestic abuse allegation by Harshita Brella on August 29. &lt;/p&gt;
  14927.  
  14928.  
  14929.  
  14930. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The investigation was owned by a specialist detective from within the Domestic Abuse Investigation Team.&lt;/p&gt;
  14931.  
  14932.  
  14933.  
  14934. &lt;p&gt;“Harshita was identified as being at high risk of domestic abuse and was immediately assigned an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA). A referral was also made to the MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference), sharing information with partners and collectively formulating a safety plan. &lt;/p&gt;
  14935.  
  14936.  
  14937.  
  14938. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Harshita was placed in a refuge and visited and contacted by officers on a number of occasions throughout the investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  14939.  
  14940.  
  14941.  
  14942. &lt;p&gt;“The alleged perpetrator was identified, quickly arrested and bailed with conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
  14943.  
  14944.  
  14945.  
  14946. &lt;p&gt;“Northamptonshire Police actively sought and obtained a Domestic Violence Protection Notice (DVPN) and a Domestic Violence Protection Order was authorised at Northampton Magistrates Court on September 5 which remained in place for 28 days whilst the investigations continued against the alleged perpetrator.&lt;/p&gt;
  14947.  
  14948.  
  14949.  
  14950. &lt;p&gt;“This case has been referred for a Domestic Homicide Review which will seek to identify any learning.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14951.  
  14952.  
  14953.  
  14954. &lt;p&gt;It comes after Harshita&amp;#8217;s heartbroken family revealed she &amp;#8220;didn&amp;#8217;t lead a happy life&amp;#8221; in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  14955.  
  14956.  
  14957.  
  14958. &lt;p&gt;Dad Satbir Brella demanded &amp;#8220;justice&amp;#8221; for his daughter from the family home in Delhi, India.&lt;/p&gt;
  14959.  
  14960.  
  14961.  
  14962. &lt;p&gt;Her sister Sonia Dabas described how Harshita was &amp;#8220;very excited&amp;#8221; to move to the UK in April following an arranged marriage with Lamba.&lt;/p&gt;
  14963.  
  14964.  
  14965.  
  14966. &lt;p&gt;Her father told &lt;a aria-label=&quot;the BBC (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7v3q8l7r43o&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the BBC&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;I want my son-in-law to be brought to justice and I want my daughter&amp;#8217;s body brought home.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14967.  
  14968.  
  14969.  
  14970. &lt;p&gt;Harshita&amp;#8217;s mother Sudesh Kumari added: &amp;#8220;I just want justice for my daughter.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14971.  
  14972.  
  14973.  
  14974. &lt;p&gt;Ms Dabas said her sister &amp;#8220;didn&amp;#8217;t live a very happy life in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8220;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14975.  
  14976.  
  14977.  
  14978. &lt;p&gt;She continued: &amp;#8220;She struggled a lot because of her husband. She said he was hitting her and she escaped.&lt;/p&gt;
  14979.  
  14980.  
  14981.  
  14982. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She ran out on the streets, he chased after her and hit her there as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14983.  
  14984.  
  14985.  
  14986. &lt;p&gt;Sonia&amp;#8217;s husband Tarun Dabas wrote on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Our world has been turned upside down.&lt;/p&gt;
  14987.  
  14988.  
  14989.  
  14990. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Harshita Brella just 24 years old was found murdered in the boot of a car in East London. Her husband Pankaj Lamba is the main suspect.&lt;/p&gt;
  14991.  
  14992.  
  14993.  
  14994. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He has now fled the country and an international manhunt is underway.&lt;/p&gt;

  15005. Women&amp;#039;s Aid has this advice for victims and their families: &lt;/p&gt;
  15007. &lt;div&gt;
  15008. &lt;ul&gt;
  15009. &lt;li&gt;Always keep your phone nearby.&lt;/li&gt;
  15010. &lt;li&gt;Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.&lt;/li&gt;
  15011. &lt;li&gt;If you are in danger, call 999.&lt;/li&gt;
  15012. &lt;li&gt;Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.&lt;/li&gt;
  15013. &lt;li&gt;Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.&lt;/li&gt;
  15014. &lt;li&gt;If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.&lt;/li&gt;
  15015. &lt;li&gt;Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.&lt;/li&gt;
  15016. &lt;/ul&gt;
  15017. &lt;p&gt;If you are a ­victim of domestic abuse, SupportLine is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm on 01708 765200. The charity’s email support ­service is open weekdays and weekends during the crisis –&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:messageinfo@supportline.org.uk&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;messageinfo@supportline.org.uk&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15018. &lt;p&gt;Women’s Aid provides a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.womensaid.org.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;live chat service&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; available weekdays&amp;nbsp;from&amp;nbsp;8am-6pm&amp;nbsp;and weekends 10am-6pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  15019. &lt;p&gt;You can also call the freephone 24-hour ­National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.&lt;/p&gt;
  15020. &lt;/div&gt;
  15021. &lt;/div&gt;
  15022. &lt;/div&gt;
  15024.  
  15025.  
  15026.  
  15027. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re calling on the UK and Indian governments to act swiftly to capture him. Harshita deserves justice. Her voice must be heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  15028.  
  15029.  
  15030.  
  15031. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Please help us seek #JusticeForHarshitaBrella. Please help to find the suspect.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15032.  
  15033.  
  15034.  
  15035. &lt;p&gt;A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31776797/harshita-brella-pankaj-lamba-ilford-corby/&quot;&gt;neighbour revealed she heard two blistering rows&lt;/a&gt;, one involving a woman who &amp;#8220;sounded scared&amp;#8221;, in the days before her body was discovered.&lt;/p&gt;
  15036.  
  15037.  
  15038.  
  15039. &lt;p&gt;Kelly Philp, Harshita&amp;#8217;s neighbour in Corby, said she overheard an argument between a man and a woman on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  15040.  
  15041.  
  15042.  
  15043. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They were arguing in a different language so I couldn&amp;#8217;t understand what was being said,&amp;#8221; the 41-year-old told the Daily Mirror.&lt;/p&gt;
  15044.  
  15045.  
  15046.  
  15047. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But it sounded angry and there were raised voices and the woman sounded scared.&lt;/p&gt;
  15048.  
  15049.  
  15050.  
  15051. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I heard a commotion between a man and a woman and I heard banging around.&lt;/p&gt;
  15052.  
  15053.  
  15054.  
  15055. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I didn&amp;#8217;t call police. I just thought it was a relationship argument.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15056.  
  15057.  
  15058.  
  15059. &lt;p&gt;She described feeling &amp;#8220;vulnerable&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;on edge&amp;#8221; after learning about the fate of her neighbour.&lt;/p&gt;
  15060.  
  15061.  
  15062.  
  15063. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I feel so sad about the loss of the lass. I can&amp;#8217;t get over it,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;I can&amp;#8217;t believe it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15064.  
  15065.  
  15066.  
  15067. &lt;p&gt;Ms Philip said she had also overheard two men arguing in a foreign language early on Saturday, shortly after she heard a back gate slam shut.&lt;/p&gt;

  15140.  
  15141.  
  15142.  
  15143. &lt;p&gt;But before the Nuke&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31772768/luke-littler-grand-slam-of-darts-martin-lukeman/&quot;&gt;16-3 triumph over Martin Lukeman&lt;/a&gt; in Sunday&amp;#8217;s Slam final, there was controversy&amp;nbsp;in his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31790955/darts-luke-littler-news-mike-de-decker-poker/&quot;&gt;10-9 last-16 success over Mike De Decker&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15144.  
  15145.  
  15146.  
  15147. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31731948/de-decker-fumes-at-darts-ref-littler/&quot;&gt;Netherlands ace was upset by the crowd whistling&lt;/a&gt; at key moments.&lt;/p&gt;
  15148.  
  15149.  
  15150.  
  15151. &lt;p&gt;He was then even more frustrated when referee&amp;nbsp;Kirk Bevins refused to tell fans to curb such behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  15152.  
  15153.  
  15154.  
  15155. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s no suggestion&amp;nbsp;Bevins&amp;#8217; decision was anything to do with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31856137/luke-littler-darts-world-championship-wayne-mardle-prediction/&quot;&gt;Littler&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15156.  
  15157.  
  15158.  
  15159. &lt;p&gt;Indeed, the official insisted&amp;nbsp;the crowd might have whipped up their antics even more if he had intervened.&lt;/p&gt;
  15160.  
  15161.  
  15162.  
  15163. &lt;p&gt;However,&amp;nbsp;Van der Voort and Van Veen believe it is &amp;#8220;of course true&amp;#8221; that darts chiefs handle Littler extra&amp;nbsp;nicely.&lt;/p&gt;
  15164.  
  15165.  
  15166.  
  15167. &lt;p&gt;VDV, 48, told the podcast Darts Draait Door:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;If you look at what that boy brings in, in terms of extra sponsorship and money, you&amp;#8217;re treated differently.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15168.

  15176.  
  15177.  
  15178.  
  15179. &lt;p&gt;Van Veen, 22, agreed, saying: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t find that so strange either &amp;#8211; that the absolute top is treated differently than the rest.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15180.  
  15181.  
  15182.  
  15183. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Grand Slam quarter-finalist revealed he himself benefited from better treatment &amp;#8211; but in the second&amp;nbsp;tier of darts, for players aged 16-23.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  15213.  
  15214.  
  15215. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;re going to look for me one more time, that way. I could get more done on the Development Tour, other darters probably won&amp;#8217;t.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15216.  
  15217.

  15219. &lt;p&gt;Littler was a &amp;#8220;nobody&amp;#8221; in terms of public profile 12 months ago &amp;#8211; now he&amp;#8217;s one of the most famous sporting teenagers in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  15220.  
  15221.  
  15222.  
  15223. &lt;p&gt;However, whether that means he gets special handling &amp;#8211; and whether that would be right &amp;#8211; are entirely different questions.&lt;/p&gt;

  15236. LUKE LITTLER has taken the darts world by storm since exploding onto the scene at the PDC World Championship at the beginning of the year. &lt;/p&gt;
  15238. &lt;div&gt;
  15239. &lt;p&gt;The Nuke reached the final on his Ally Pally debut at just 16 years of age &amp;#8211; smashing records along the way.&lt;/p&gt;
  15240. &lt;p&gt;He has then gone on to win a host of PDC events and the Premier League title &amp;#8211; which he claimed at the O2 Arena by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28102034/luke-littler-wins-premier-league-darts-final-humphries///&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;beating world champion Luke Humphries in May&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15241. &lt;p&gt;He also finished his first season in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29950961/luke-littler-darts-world-number-one-new-zealand/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;World Series as the No1 ranked player&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15242. &lt;p&gt;He has joined Jude Bellingham on the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27205599/luke-littler-forbes-30-under-30-jude-bellingham/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15243. &lt;p&gt;And the teenage titan even had to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27113240/luke-littler-snub-wwe-london-invite/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;snub an invite from the WWE.

  15244. &lt;p&gt;The Sun &lt;a aria-label=&quot; exclusively revealed that Littler is plotting to create a fitness empire. (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27080877/luke-littler-trademark-name-fitness-darts/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;exclusively revealed that Littler is plotting to create a fitness empire.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15245. &lt;p&gt;He is also cashing in away from the Oche &lt;a aria-label=&quot;thanks to an Instagram side hustle. (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26916593/darts-luke-littler-clever-side-hustle/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;thanks to an Instagram side hustle.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15246. &lt;p&gt;And he&amp;#8217;s even the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26399038/luke-littler-best-cereal-sidemen/&quot;&gt;face of a brand new cereal.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15247. &lt;p&gt;But he is newly single after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29343504/luke-littler-breaks-silence-break-up-eloise/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;splitting from girlfriend Eloise Milburn&lt;/a&gt; following a 10-month relationship.&lt;/p&gt;

  15325. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RUBEN AMORIM can not only solve Marcus Rashford&amp;#8217;s form struggles but turn him into one of the Premier League&amp;#8217;s best again.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  15326.  
  15327.

  15329. &lt;p&gt;Yet &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marcus-rashford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rashford&lt;/a&gt; must first buy into a fresh 3-4-3 philosophy, accept a subtle  positional change and desert his love for the left-wing. &lt;/p&gt;

  15346.  
  15347.  
  15348.  
  15349. &lt;p&gt;With many United players spending time away on international duty, including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rasmus-hojlund/&quot;&gt;Rasmus Hojlund&lt;/a&gt;, Rashford would be wise to make use of the extra time spent on the training ground with new boss Amorim.&lt;/p&gt;
  15350.  
  15351.  
  15352.  
  15353. &lt;p&gt;The 27-year-old has endured some topsy-turvy years after he burst onto the scene in 2016, failing to hit the heights of his 2022-23 season where he scored 30 goals in all competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  15354.  
  15355.  
  15356.  
  15357. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Amorim&lt;/a&gt;, 39, is tasked with bringing Rashford&amp;#8217;s magic touch back, with the forward scoring just once in 12 Prem games this season.  &lt;/p&gt;
  15358.  
  15359.  
  15360.  
  15361. &lt;p&gt;But how will the new manager, with the confidence of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jose-mourinho/&quot;&gt;Jose Mourinho&lt;/a&gt; and the flare of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot;&gt;Pep Guardiola&lt;/a&gt;, bring the best of out of Rashford?&lt;/p&gt;
  15362.  
  15363.  
  15364.  
  15365. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Marcus Rashford&amp;#8217;s resurrection &lt;/h2&gt;
  15366.  
  15367.  
  15368.  
  15369. &lt;p&gt;A player of Rashford&amp;#8217;s quality shouldn&amp;#8217;t be written off, but the United academy star must open his heart up to a 3-4-3 formation. &lt;/p&gt;
  15370.  
  15371.  
  15372.  
  15373. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marcus-rashford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rashford&lt;/a&gt; must let go of his hopes of hanging out on the left-hand side, as Amorim will &lt;strong&gt;NOT &lt;/strong&gt;use two out-and-out wingers, but will instead play with an attacking left-wing back.&lt;/p&gt;
  15374.  
  15375.  
  15376.  
  15377. &lt;p&gt;Amorim looks set to build two differently profiled so-called No 10s &amp;#8211; and Rashford must become one alongside captain &lt;span id=&quot;a2145ed5-0ad2-4807-8750-38a8a0872ade&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Bruno&lt;/span&gt; Fernandes.&lt;/p&gt;
  15378.  
  15379.  
  15380.  
  15381. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bruno-fernandes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fernandes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216; talents mean he&amp;#8217;ll pick up the ball-playing No 10 role, leaving Rashford as the &lt;span id=&quot;05957440-d53b-4468-af2d-f114dce951f6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/span&gt; central player, who runs off the No 9.&lt;/p&gt;
  15382.  
  15383.  
  15384.  
  15385. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31864697&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/2024/11/GFX-TACTICAL-2-RASHFORD-POSITION-CHANGE-PART-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a soccer field with manchester united jerseys on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31864697&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Winger Rashford must become a No.10 &amp;#8211; but not necessarily a ball-playing one&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  15386.  
  15387.  
  15388.  
  15389. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Rashford could also be reinvented as a central &lt;span id=&quot;ab6dfed6-ff9a-415e-9cb7-7f106600cf6f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;striker&lt;/span&gt; with two close 10s to support him, but Hojlund is more likely to thrive in this role.&lt;/p&gt;
  15390.  
  15391.  
  15392.  
  15393. &lt;p&gt;The England star is used to playing in a 4-3-2-1 formation or as a striker in counter attacking side, so things will have to change.&lt;/p&gt;
  15394.  
  15395.  
  15396.  
  15397. &lt;p&gt;But if Rashford buys into it early, and focuses on more assists than goals, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;United&lt;/a&gt; will have a Carrington graduate playing an important role in the club&amp;#8217;s future.&lt;/p&gt;

  15426.  
  15427.  
  15428.  
  15429. &lt;p&gt;Amorim has a clear identity. And it seems almost certain that the Portuguese tactician will bring in his winning 3-4-3 structure to M16.&lt;/p&gt;
  15430.  
  15431.  
  15432.  
  15433. &lt;p&gt;He likes his teams to play through the thirds and to dominate possession when moving the ball out from the back.&lt;/p&gt;
  15434.  
  15435.  
  15436.  
  15437. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rasmus-hojlund/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hojlund&lt;/a&gt;, a player United haven&amp;#8217;t made the best use of, will likely be deployed at No 9.&lt;/p&gt;
  15438.  
  15439.  
  15440.  
  15441. &lt;p&gt;At Sporting, the formation and style has been built around a mobile, big, physical runner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/viktor-gyokeres/&quot;&gt;Viktor Gyokere&lt;/a&gt;s &amp;#8211; and Hojlund can ease into that role.&lt;/p&gt;
  15442.  
  15443.  
  15444.  
  15445. &lt;p&gt;Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez, &lt;span id=&quot;73dae129-a24d-4df7-b18d-790a5546f0ad&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Matthijs de Ligt&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/casemiro/&quot;&gt;Casemiro&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span id=&quot;1ec81a13-a44a-489a-bba9-7edf4735a949&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Kobbie Mainoo&lt;/span&gt; and Manuel Ugarte all slot into their respective roles. &lt;/p&gt;

  15450.

  15454.  
  15455.  
  15456.  
  15457. &lt;p&gt;What is more constant is that in his 3-4-3 formation, attacking wing-backs are key in all thirds of the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  15458.  
  15459.  
  15460.  
  15461. &lt;p&gt;Amorim has used two defensive midfielders to cover for his wing-backs &amp;#8211; who push high up the pitch and stay wide to form a 3-4-2-1.&lt;/p&gt;
  15462.  
  15463.  
  15464.  
  15465. &lt;p&gt;This also allows his two attacking midfielders to drop into pockets behind a lone &lt;span id=&quot;8d234c9a-ef57-4e67-ae11-4ae7dfbb7c4f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;striker&lt;/span&gt; while still stretching the opposition’s backline.&lt;/p&gt;

  15474.  
  15475.  
  15476.  
  15477. &lt;p&gt;Amorim places his wing-backs right up in the attacking areas of the pitch, giving them full freedom of in the flanks.&lt;/p&gt;
  15478.  
  15479.  
  15480.  
  15481. &lt;p&gt;It will become a 3-2-5 in attack, where the wing-backs are expected to push up in different profiles.&lt;/p&gt;
  15482.  
  15483.  
  15484.  
  15485. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alejandro-garnacho/&quot;&gt;Alejandro Garnacho&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amad-diallo/&quot;&gt;Amad Diallo&lt;/a&gt; and even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/antony/&quot;&gt;Antony&lt;/a&gt; could be eased into a wing-back role, as all three have the ability to take on their man in a 1 v 1. &lt;/p&gt;
  15486.  
  15487.  
  15488.  
  15489. &lt;p&gt;Amorim likes his teams to play through the thirds and to dominate possession when moving the ball out from the back.&lt;/p&gt;
  15490.  
  15491.  
  15492.  
  15493. &lt;p&gt;For the non-byline running full-backs, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/diogo-dalot/&quot;&gt;Diogo Dalot&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/noussair-mazraoui/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Noussair Mazraoui&lt;/a&gt; can invert to play in the inside channel when attacking.&lt;/p&gt;

  15520.  
  15521. &lt;p&gt;It looks like the out-field players will be limited to only two touches before passing it in a zig-zag if they can&amp;#8217;t turn, until a channel of space opens up. &lt;/p&gt;

  15565. &lt;p&gt;But all players will expected to get up and down quickly and bust a gut to get back, which has not been witnessed in United games of late. &lt;/p&gt;
  15566.  
  15567.  
  15568.

  15583.  
  15584.  
  15585. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  15586. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  15587. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man Utd&lt;/h3&gt;
  15588. &lt;/div&gt;
  15589. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  15590. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content-img&quot;&gt;
  15591. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20210511_crod8068_2021051442159101-JS712162550.jpg?strip=all&amp;&amp;w=620&amp;&amp;h=413&amp;&amp;crop=1&quot; width=&quot;620&quot; height=&quot;413&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
  15594. &lt;div&gt;
  15595. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/jordan-davies/&quot;&gt;Jordan Davies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15596. &lt;p&gt;Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.&lt;/p&gt;
  15597. &lt;p&gt;But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  15598. &lt;p&gt;Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.&lt;/p&gt;
  15599. &lt;p&gt;He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15600. &lt;p&gt;The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.&lt;/p&gt;
  15601. &lt;p&gt;And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  15602. &lt;p&gt;Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.&lt;/p&gt;
  15603. &lt;p&gt;Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.&lt;/p&gt;
  15604. &lt;p&gt;United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won&amp;#8217;t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15605. &lt;p&gt;And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.&lt;/p&gt;
  15606. &lt;p&gt;For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.&lt;/p&gt;
  15607. &lt;/div&gt;
  15608. &lt;/div&gt;

  15654. &lt;p&gt;AS we head towards Christmas, parents will be preparing by heading out to stores to buy decorations, presents, and gift wrapping.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15655.  
  15656.  
  15657.  
  15658. &lt;p&gt;Also on their list will be end-of-year presents for their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;child&amp;#8217;s teacher.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  15663.  
  15664.  
  15665.  
  15666. &lt;p&gt;However, this can often leave parents wondering if their gift is appropriate or sufficient, adding another stress to the festive season.&lt;/p&gt;
  15667.  
  15668.  
  15669.  
  15670. &lt;p&gt;According to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mumsnet/&quot;&gt;Mumsnet&lt;/a&gt; survey, 45 per cent of parents buy gifts for their children&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/teachers/&quot;&gt;teachers&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt;, despite many teachers not expecting presents.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15671.  
  15672.  
  15673.  
  15674. &lt;p&gt;Whether it&amp;#8217;s a bottle of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wine/&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt;, chocolates, or a &amp;#8216;my favourite teacher&amp;#8217; mug, parents can be torn between what won’t be a waste of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15675.  
  15676.  
  15677.  
  15678. &lt;p&gt;But luckily, some teachers have set the record straight to make it easier for other parents.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15679.  
  15680.  
  15681.  
  15682. &lt;p&gt;One mum took to the Facebook group &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/familylowdown/permalink/2387933401650660&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Family lowdown tips and ideas  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Family lowdown tips and ideas &lt;/a&gt;to ask for help.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  15697.  
  15698. &lt;p&gt;Many teachers raced to the comments section to share their thoughts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  15700.

  15702. &lt;p&gt;“I would much prefer a card with a heartfelt message or something homemade than my class spending money on me honestly,” one teacher wrote.&lt;/p&gt;

  15827. &lt;div&gt;
  15828. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/23765601/school-teacher-mums-drive-us-crazy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Secret Schoolteacher&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15829. &lt;p&gt;I STARTED working in schools in 1996, when parents respected teachers and left us alone to do our jobs. Not any more.&lt;/p&gt;
  15830. &lt;p&gt;Nowadays parents think nothing of barging into&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot;&gt;schools&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;to read teachers the riot act if their precious child has been told off, or they’ll send angry emails in the middle of the night. Warning — it doesn’t make you popular.&lt;/p&gt;
  15831. &lt;p&gt;I’ve worked in all manner of schools across the south west of England, from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1781887/what-is-state-school-uk-different-private/&quot;&gt;state schools to private&lt;/a&gt;, and I can tell you that right now many teachers are dreading the start of the new school year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15832. &lt;p&gt;They’re braced for tears and tantrums, not just from their pupils but from their parents too.&lt;/p&gt;
  15833. &lt;p&gt;Believe me, if you are an annoying parent it will spread round the staff room like wildfire.&lt;/p&gt;
  15834. &lt;p&gt;So whether it’s your kid’s first day at a new school, or they’re moving up a year, these are the things you do that drive teachers crazy . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  15835. &lt;p&gt;Parents often turn up at the school gates complaining how frazzled they are, moaning that teachers must have had a nice long holiday while their&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/4074102/kids-and-teachers-share-their-excitement-at-having-six-weeks-off-but-spare-a-thought-for-the-poor-parents/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;six weeks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;stuck with the kids was the worst.&lt;/p&gt;
  15836. &lt;p&gt;Nothing could be further from the truth. For the first two weeks I’ll almost certainly have been struck down by a lurgy which always seems to strike on the first day of the holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
  15837. &lt;p&gt;The next two weeks might have been an actual holiday, just like the average Brit takes in the summer, followed by two weeks of frantic lesson planning and administration.&lt;/p&gt;
  15838. &lt;p&gt;Also, consider that I’ve probably been working over 50 hours per week during term time. Contrary to popular opinion, we don’t clock off at 3pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  15839. &lt;p&gt;Instead, we’re roped into all manner of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/17611697/parenting-expert-what-child-after-school-meltdowns-mean/&quot;&gt;after-school activities&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and meetings before going home to do marking and more lesson planning. Please don’t turn up and make sarcastic remarks about our “six weeks off”.&lt;/p&gt;
  15840. &lt;p&gt;We won’t be happy.&lt;/p&gt;
  15841. &lt;/div&gt;
  15842. &lt;/div&gt;
  15843. &lt;/div&gt;
  15845.  
  15846.  
  15847.  
  15848. &lt;p&gt;“I’m happy with a nice thank you note but I know &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/29292726/best-teacher-gift-year-affordable-cara-de-la-hoyde/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;some parents like to get something.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15849.  
  15850.  
  15851.  
  15852. &lt;p&gt;“Go with something useful! I like pens and stationery. Preferably pens that have green ink as that is the colour I mark in.&lt;/p&gt;
  15853.  
  15854.  
  15855.  
  15856. &lt;p&gt;“I really don’t like mugs or anything personalised (I’m allergic to tea and coffee and the last personalised set I got had my name spelled wrong so I felt bad they’d spent money on it) but I did get a costa gift card last year that took me and hubby out for cake.&lt;/p&gt;
  15857.  
  15858.  
  15859.  
  15860. &lt;p&gt;“Chocolate and wine is always welcome but again, these things cost money that parents don’t always have so a nice card or picture drawn by the child is lovely.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15861.  
  15862.  
  15863.  
  15864. &lt;p&gt;However, for those who have allergies, then parents are urged to opt for a gift card.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15865.  
  15866.  
  15867.  
  15868. &lt;p&gt;A teacher explained: “I’d avoid drink and food because of allergies. I’m a teacher and while any gift is nice, I cannot use most of the gifts I get because of allergies!&lt;/p&gt;
  15869.  
  15870.  
  15871.  
  15872. &lt;p&gt;“I’d prefer a gift card! Supermarkets, Boots, Amazon etc.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15873.  
  15874.  
  15875.  
  15876. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  15877. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  15878. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Should you buy a teacher a gift?&lt;/h3&gt;
  15879. &lt;/div&gt;
  15880. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  15881. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content-img&quot;&gt;

  15884. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  15885. IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child&amp;#039;s teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further... &lt;/p&gt;
  15887. &lt;div&gt;
  15888. &lt;p&gt;As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/sarah-bull/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sarah Bull&lt;/a&gt; weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids&amp;#8217; teachers a present to mark the end of term.&lt;/p&gt;
  15889. &lt;p&gt;Sarah said: &amp;#8220;It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school.&lt;/p&gt;
  15890. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids&amp;#8217; teachers too.&lt;/p&gt;
  15891. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business.&lt;/p&gt;
  15892. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation.&lt;/p&gt;
  15893. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After all &amp;#8211; I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day &amp;#8211; so don&amp;#8217;t they deserve a token of appreciation?&lt;/p&gt;
  15894. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I also wouldn&amp;#8217;t want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers.&lt;/p&gt;
  15895. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I&amp;#8217;ll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I&amp;#8217;ll be buying for.&lt;/p&gt;
  15896. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&amp;amp;M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15897. &lt;/div&gt;
  15898. &lt;/div&gt;

  15929.

  15931.  
  15932. &lt;p&gt;WET and miserable weather can make it tricky to plan affordable days out.&lt;/p&gt;
  15933.  
  15934.  
  15935.  
  15936. &lt;p&gt;However, having fun while staying dry need not break the bank.&lt;/p&gt;
  15937.  
  15938.  
  15939.  
  15940. &lt;p&gt;Here are a few ways to save on indoor activities.&lt;/p&gt;
  15941.  
  15942.  
  15943.  
  15944. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JUMP ON A TRAIN:&lt;/strong&gt; If you have small children, taking a trip on the train can be an adventure in itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  15945.  
  15946.  
  15947.  
  15948. &lt;p&gt;A Family &amp;amp; Friends Railcard costs £30 and it will save you a third on adult fares and 60 per cent on kids’ ones throughout the UK for a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15949.  
  15950.  
  15951.  
  15952. &lt;p&gt;Look for nearby towns to visit, with free museums or simply grab a coffee and cake at your destination before returning.&lt;/p&gt;
  15953.  
  15954.  
  15955.  
  15956. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CATCH A MOVIE: &lt;/strong&gt;Stay cosy inside and catch the latest new films including Gladiator II, Wicked and Moana 2.&lt;/p&gt;
  15957.  
  15958.  
  15959.  
  15960. &lt;p&gt;If you often visit cinemas, you could save on ticket costs with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cineworld/&quot;&gt;Cineworld&lt;/a&gt; Unlimited’s annual membership.&lt;/p&gt;

  15965.  
  15966.  
  15967.  
  15968. &lt;p&gt;Members can watch as many films as they like without paying booking fees. &lt;/p&gt;
  15969.  
  15970.  
  15971.  
  15972. &lt;p&gt;You will also get access to advanced screenings, and after three months, you will get 25 per cent off snacks. &lt;/p&gt;

  16215.  
  16216.  
  16217.  
  16218. &lt;p&gt;Loretta gave birth to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/20744129/who-tiktok-star-gk-barry/&quot;&gt;Grace&lt;/a&gt; on August 12, 1999, in Cambridge. &lt;/p&gt;
  16219.  
  16220.  
  16221.  
  16222. &lt;p&gt;Grace would later go on to launch hugely successful Saving Grace Podcast, where she has interviewed guests including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-price/&quot;&gt;Katie Price&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3869634/louie-spence-pineapple-big-brother/&quot;&gt;Louie Spence&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  16223.  
  16224.  
  16225.  
  16226. &lt;p&gt;Loretta revealed on Loose Women that she didn&amp;#8217;t realise Grace would become so successful when she was a child.&lt;/p&gt;
  16227.  
  16228.  
  16229.  
  16230. &lt;p&gt;She did admit though that she knew Grace was immensely talented from a young age.&lt;/p&gt;
  16231.  
  16232.  
  16233.  
  16234. &lt;p&gt;Loretta said: &amp;#8220;I wouldn&amp;#8217;t say I thought something like this would happen but it all sort of started when she was about six, she used to go into the kitchen and do these videos&amp;#8230;She always had something, we didn&amp;#8217;t know what it was and we didn&amp;#8217;t know if it would progress. &lt;/p&gt;
  16235.  
  16236.  
  16237.  
  16238. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s always been very good with one liners, the one liner queen! &lt;/p&gt;
  16239.  
  16240.  
  16241.  
  16242. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So there was always something there.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16243.  
  16244.  
  16245.  
  16246. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;I&amp;#8217;m a Celebrity&lt;/h2&gt;
  16247.  
  16248.  
  16249.  
  16250. &lt;p&gt;Grace was one of the 12 contestants to head Down Under for the 2024 series of I&amp;#8217;m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here. &lt;/p&gt;
  16251.  
  16252.  
  16253.  
  16254. &lt;p&gt;The star quickly became a fan-favourite but initially &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31827721/gk-barry-gasps-air-im-a-celeb-bushtucker-trial/&quot;&gt;struggled to adjust&lt;/a&gt; to living in the Jungle. &lt;/p&gt;
  16255.  
  16256.  
  16257.  
  16258. &lt;p&gt;Loretta has said that Grace is &amp;#8220;scared of everything&amp;#8221;  and revealed that her daughter won&amp;#8217;t even go into the family&amp;#8217;s loft, because she is scared of spiders. &lt;/p&gt;

  16269.  
  16270. &lt;p&gt;Loretta revealed on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/loose-women/&quot;&gt;Loose Women&lt;/a&gt; that Grace was bullied so badly at school that she would often &amp;#8220;come home and cry a lot&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  16271.  
  16272.  
  16273.  
  16274. &lt;p&gt;The podcaster&amp;#8217;s mum shared that she hopes Grace&amp;#8217;s success can show people that they can succeed, even if they are being bullied. &lt;/p&gt;
  16275.  
  16276.  
  16277.  
  16278. &lt;p&gt;Loretta also admitted that some of Grace&amp;#8217;s former bullies have got in touch with her after she became a success. &lt;/p&gt;
  16279.  
  16280.  
  16281.  
  16282. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;Funny that isn&amp;#8217;t it?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  16295.  
  16296.  
  16297.  
  16298. &lt;p&gt;Loretta is a big supporter of their relationship and told the Loose Women panellists about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31823473/gk-barry-coming-out-parents-girlfriend/&quot;&gt;meeting Ella for the first time&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  16303.  
  16304.  
  16305.  
  16306. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Grace said, ‘Mum, this is Ella…’ and we said, ‘Hi Ella’ and to be honest with you, I am so pleased that she’s found someone that is honest and kind and hardworking… As long as they&amp;#8217;re happy, I don’t care.” &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  16339. &lt;p&gt;FOUNDED in 1983 in Ghent, Belgium, R&amp;amp;S Records has been a cornerstone of electronic music for over 40 years. Helmed by Renaat Vandepapeliere and Sabine Maes, the label has consistently championed groundbreaking innovation and authenticity.&lt;/p&gt;
  16340.  
  16341.  
  16342.  
  16343. &lt;p&gt;From techno pioneers to contemporary, cutting-edge talent, R&amp;amp;S has built an impressive catalog of hits and diverse sounds that have shaped the music industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  16344.

  16348.  
  16349.  
  16350.  
  16351. &lt;p&gt;Formative artists include Joey Beltram to Aphex Twin This pioneering spirit continues on R&amp;amp;S Records as it enters its fifth decade shaping electronic music with recent successes from talents including James Blake, Gabriels, Michael Anthony, Quiche, Chizawa Q, DJ Rum, Synkro, White and so much more. &lt;/p&gt;

  16356.  
  16357.  
  16358.  
  16359. &lt;p&gt;As we prepare to sit down with Renaat when we meet up with him in Belgium next month for an in-depth interview, which we will publish on these pages in due course, we asked him to talk us through ten big contemporary tracks from R&amp;amp;S Records to whet our appetites for the time being!&lt;/p&gt;
  16360.  
  16361.  
  16362.  
  16363. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Listen to the music Renaat selected for us and read what he had to say about the tracks below.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16364.  
  16365.  
  16366.  
  16367. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mikahl Anthony &amp;#8211; Vintage Collection &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Poetic R&amp;amp;B From St. Louis&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16368.  
  16369.  
  16370.  
  16371. &lt;p&gt;So around 2013/2014, I was sent an album “ Them People “ curated by Mikhal from a friend of mine and within two weeks you could download it but any information on him was gone, there was no information.&lt;/p&gt;
  16372.  
  16373.  
  16374.  
  16375. &lt;p&gt;It took me five years of looking non-stop every day to find him. Everyone was calling out in the web saying who the f**k is this guy? And then finally I found him and the next day I signed him while he was working on his album.&lt;/p&gt;
  16376.  
  16377.  
  16378.  
  16379. &lt;p&gt;During Corona, it was a wonderful time for me, and I was rethinking myself and all the things I&amp;#8217;ve done in the past, all the hundreds of labels I’ve worked for, but you can’t relive the past and I cannot always do the same things because my interest in music is too big, so I had to think about why I started and where am I going?&lt;/p&gt;
  16380.  
  16381.  
  16382.  
  16383. &lt;p&gt;And you know, I&amp;#8217;m an old guy. So, I grew up with Marvin Gaye, I grew up with James Brown, I grew up with Jimi Hendrix, I grew up with everything, with new wave, with punk.&lt;/p&gt;
  16384.  
  16385.  
  16386.  
  16387. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s so much music that kids don&amp;#8217;t even know. Not that I know everything that&amp;#8217;s out, of course, there&amp;#8217;s brilliant music out there, but working on this album is something I wanted to do because it has this sort of Marvin Gaye vibe and it’s something I recognise from my past.&lt;/p&gt;
  16388.  
  16389.  
  16390.  
  16391. &lt;p&gt;On top of that, it&amp;#8217;s a very relevant album. It&amp;#8217;s a very poetic album, and he&amp;#8217;s touching lyric-wise some issues here, it is a fantastic album.&lt;/p&gt;
  16392.  
  16393.  
  16394.  
  16395. &lt;p&gt;I do miss Music with a message and this is a relevant album and I&amp;#8217;m so proud I have released this, he’s a filmmaker and it&amp;#8217;s one of my crown jewels.&lt;/p&gt;
  16396.  
  16397.  
  16398.  
  16399. &lt;p&gt;I have always tried to make R&amp;amp;S a label where the music and I have to be very real, to myself and let my heart speak, and if you don’t like it or it&amp;#8217;s not your thing I respect that.&lt;/p&gt;
  16400.  
  16401.  
  16402.  
  16403. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Vintage Collection&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/eg9CMcPW_3U?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  16407. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tainted Tazz &amp;#8211; Hit List &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Fresh new Hip Hop from our youngster from Texas&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16408.  
  16409.  
  16410.  
  16411. &lt;p&gt;So again, this song is a statement. It shows we&amp;#8217;re about everything, don’t put me in a box because I will tear the box apart and fight as long as I can. It shows we’re not part of the flock and that this is not about being arrogant, it’s about passion.&lt;/p&gt;
  16412.  
  16413.  
  16414.  
  16415. &lt;p&gt;So, one morning, about two years ago, I received a link from this young lady. She was 21 when she made it, and now she&amp;#8217;s 23, and when I heard it I thought f**king hell, this is raw, this is Public Enemy raw and we signed her.&lt;/p&gt;
  16416.  
  16417.  
  16418.  
  16419. &lt;p&gt;She’s sort of Little Sims in a way but from America and much younger. Also, as a lyricist, she&amp;#8217;s talking wild, and one thing she said to me was I&amp;#8217;m not competing with female rappers; I want to compete with the boys, and I thought, let&amp;#8217;s rock it, let’s go.&lt;/p&gt;
  16420.  
  16421.  
  16422.  
  16423. &lt;p&gt;And that&amp;#8217;s all that I needed to pull me over, and I’ll say okay, fine, If you want a challenge and a fight, I&amp;#8217;m in. It&amp;#8217;s that attitude of people that challenge themselves in a very competitive world and the rawness, which I do miss in a lot of music and everybody is so f**king scared to play it but the place will rock.&lt;/p&gt;
  16424.  
  16425.  
  16426.  
  16427. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Tainted Tazz - Hit List (R&amp;amp;S Records)&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/_eVxZXxB2Xo?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  16432.  
  16433.  
  16434.  
  16435. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve always been a fan of Loxy and I&amp;#8217;ve put the track because I think it&amp;#8217;s such a beautiful, impactful drum and bass track. It&amp;#8217;s just wonderful. Everything is right. it has this beautiful voice and opening and it goes and it&amp;#8217;s lovely and then it goes into, to, to, to this dark jazzy rhythm at the end, it&amp;#8217;s, it&amp;#8217;s fucking insane.&lt;/p&gt;
  16436.  
  16437.  
  16438.  
  16439. &lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s also a nice story. You know, they had sent me some hip hop tracks where we released with great success. And I said, guys, I know, you know, for drum and bass, but let&amp;#8217;s start with fucking hip hop, you know, your, your fan base and community will, will, will be nuts. They will be saying, well, what&amp;#8217;s going on with him? And they said, no, no, no. I said, trust me. Let&amp;#8217;s do it. Um, but that&amp;#8217;s a part of the EP So I wanted to make, I wanted to add something accessible because I love that track so much is wow. What a track. Oh, what a f**king track!&lt;/p&gt;
  16440.

  16448.  
  16449.  
  16450.  
  16451. &lt;p&gt;I think the track is about a feeling and not worrying too much about what everyone has to say. Again, to bring him up, it reminds me of Quincy Jones, and I grew up with this guy. The arrangements, its feeling, its sound, It’s so complicated, it&amp;#8217;s not pushing your Ableton with preset sounds and doing the same as everything else. I want to feel a heart in music, I want to feel the honesty. It&amp;#8217;s a great track, but there is some organic musicality coming in, something jazzy.&lt;/p&gt;
  16452.  
  16453.  
  16454.  
  16455. &lt;p&gt;When making the track, we called in a jazz pianist I know. Something I really like is calling and combining my musician friends from all over the world, whether it be bass players or drummers, to try to bring that organic thing back, If your heart is open, it works!&lt;/p&gt;
  16456.

  16464.  
  16465.  
  16466.  
  16467. &lt;p&gt;Dino Lenny is a very beautiful guy, that&amp;#8217;s why I signed him, he&amp;#8217;s such a beautiful heart. He was sending me the demo, and I am very involved in pushing the guys to places where they wouldn&amp;#8217;t even think to go which for them is insane but it works. He&amp;#8217;s a good DJ and it&amp;#8217;s a fun and quality track again. It&amp;#8217;s that relentless groove that just gives and gives, doesn&amp;#8217;t it? That&amp;#8217;s Lenny.&lt;/p&gt;
  16468.

  16480.  
  16481.  
  16482.  
  16483. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s a doctor, a real doctor who still practices and as a hobby he toured with a lot of Dutch bands as a bass player, even on big stages at festivals.&lt;/p&gt;
  16484.  
  16485.  
  16486.  
  16487. &lt;p&gt;He wanted to do his own thing, and when he sent it to me, it was so pure, neoclassic, Tangerine Dream-ish quality, period. Again, I grew up with Tangerine Dreams, Klaus Schulze and all those guys, so for me, it&amp;#8217;s a reflection, but it&amp;#8217;s still fresh, and I don&amp;#8217;t hear much music like this often.&lt;/p&gt;

  16495. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ada Kaleh &amp;#8211; Unravelling featuring Eric Leeds &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Sampling Fela Kutti&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16496.  
  16497.  
  16498.  
  16499. &lt;p&gt;Man, man, man. What a story. So He sends me the track and he samples Fela Kuti and I mean, I played Fela Kuti so much when I was young.&lt;/p&gt;
  16500.  
  16501.  
  16502.  
  16503. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s unreal. You know, he and Bob Marley are some of my big big heroes. So I told him, listen, dude, this is going to be totally impossible to get the green card on the sample but let me try.&lt;/p&gt;
  16504.  
  16505.  
  16506.  
  16507. &lt;p&gt;We cleared the whole thing in one day, and I couldn’t believe it, I had a Fela f**cking Kuti complete song on R&amp;amp;S, my hero. I couldn&amp;#8217;t believe it. And then I went to Eric Leeds, sax player for Prince and sent him the track to ask if he liked it and if he could put play in the Track and he said yes.&lt;/p&gt;
  16508.  
  16509.  
  16510.  
  16511. &lt;p&gt;And then two days we had it, I was like, Holy s**t! This is unreal, This is happening. It is just a magical thing that happened,&lt;/p&gt;
  16512.  
  16513.  
  16514.  
  16515. &lt;p&gt;I told Ada it would never be possible and then we had it . Twenty-four hours later, we had the track, and I looked at Sabine and thought this was not happening, this could not be real. I&amp;#8217;m so proud of it&lt;/p&gt;
  16516.  
  16517.  
  16518.  
  16519. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Ada Kaleh - Unravelling feat Eric Leeds (R&amp;amp;S Records)&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/yOPad6_Rm5k?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  16524.  
  16525.  
  16526.  
  16527. &lt;p&gt;He is next level, man. It’s bold new electronic music, it&amp;#8217;s him and nobody else is going to do the same thing that he does.&lt;/p&gt;
  16528.  
  16529.  
  16530.  
  16531. &lt;p&gt;It starts weird, but you know, it&amp;#8217;s very playable if you have balls, and it goes into this very beautiful melody, which really opens the track into a completely different dimension. And this is what I want to hear, a range. Some of the stuff I hear I think I could do &amp;#8211; it may sound arrogant, but this I cannot do, you have to be on something or whatever!! &lt;/p&gt;
  16532.  
  16533.  
  16534.  
  16535. &lt;p&gt;This song is what I mean when I say this is what I want to do; this is what I want to have people make for R&amp;amp;S.&lt;/p&gt;

  16544.  
  16545.  
  16546.  
  16547. &lt;p&gt;David is a young guy, a very beautiful guy. He also comes from sort of a rock folk album in Germany, touring a little bit and he asked me if I was interested (in working with him) and I said of course I&amp;#8217;m interested.&lt;/p&gt;
  16548.  
  16549.  
  16550.  
  16551. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s in the same marketplace as Bon Iver, James Blake and all that. But what an album, what a debut album, and he looks good! He looks like Jim Morrison, he had this big hair and is a very beautiful guy. And in the video, he shaves it off.&lt;/p&gt;
  16552.  
  16553.  
  16554.  
  16555. &lt;p&gt;I think there is a great future for this guy.&lt;/p&gt;
  16556.

  16560.  
  16561.

  16563. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viclan &amp;#8211; Self Manifest &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;A pure rhythm power &amp;#8211; Future dance electronics &amp;#8211; the way I like to BE -not iPhone Dance music :)&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16564.  
  16565.  
  16566.  
  16567. &lt;p&gt;Again, pure left-field electronics in its purest form. That groove and the whole thing, for me, is just f**king wicked.&lt;/p&gt;
  16568.  
  16569.  
  16570.  
  16571. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes you receive music, you have to pick one track, and you have to go back to the drawing board &amp;#8211; you have to think, is this it, is there a career in it? I have no idea if there will be, but sometimes, you have to put it out because the song is so good it just has to come out&amp;#8230; And this track has to come out, period. It has pure rhythm power, it&amp;#8217;s headed towards the future of dance electronics &amp;#8211; the way I like to be, it&amp;#8217;s not iPhone dance music.&lt;/p&gt;
  16572.  
  16573.  
  16574.  
  16575. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Viclan - Self Manifest (R&amp;amp;S Records)&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/FZDddMXO6MY?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  16576.  
  16577.  
  16578.  
  16579. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paul White &amp;#8211; Glory In Storys &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Romantic!&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16580.  
  16581.  
  16582.  
  16583. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve always been a big, big fan of Paul White; he plays guitar, drums, bass, and everything, he is multi-instrumental.&lt;/p&gt;
  16584.  
  16585.  
  16586.  
  16587. &lt;p&gt;So he sent me the album and it&amp;#8217;s sort of pop, beautiful, romantic, deep.&lt;/p&gt;
  16588.  
  16589.  
  16590.  
  16591. &lt;p&gt;As a person, he is a very soft, emotional, deep guy and you can hear that in his music. Again, that album is so f**king beautiful.&lt;/p&gt;
  16592.  
  16593.  
  16594.  
  16595. &lt;p&gt;I’d also seen him live with his previous album many, many years ago and it&amp;#8217;s wicked, it&amp;#8217;s all there and it&amp;#8217;s all correct in modern contemporary music.&lt;/p&gt;
  16596.  
  16597.  
  16598.  
  16599. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Paul White - Glory In Stories&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/SiGfup_zbdU?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  16600.  
  16601.  
  16602.  
  16603. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feiertag &amp;#8211; Was She &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;UK Bass from Holland&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16604.  
  16605.  
  16606.  
  16607. &lt;p&gt;Feiertag was a drummer who sent me some tracks. One of the things we’ve always tried to champion is that we work with beginners, we&amp;#8217;ve not signed names to sign names, it has always been new kids to give a platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  16608.  
  16609.  
  16610.  
  16611. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s a wicked track. It&amp;#8217;s a relevant track in today&amp;#8217;s music and I think it&amp;#8217;s perfect.&lt;/p&gt;
  16612.  
  16613.

  16665. &lt;p&gt;A GOOGLE employee is urging Android phone owners to try a genius feature – and says you’ll want to try a mind “trick” to get the most out of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16666.  
  16667.  
  16668.  
  16669. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/google/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; insider told The Sun how he can’t imagine not using the clever tech anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
  16670.

  16678.  
  16679.  
  16680.  
  16681. &lt;p&gt;It’s called &lt;span id=&quot;5188c759-6732-4415-8811-84fbeb48156a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Gemini&lt;/span&gt; Live, an upgraded version of Google’s virtual assistant.&lt;/p&gt;
  16682.  
  16683.  
  16684.  
  16685. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/artificial-intelligence/&quot;&gt;artificial intelligence&lt;/a&gt; helper uses your microphone and speakers, letting you have “natural, free-flowing conversation”.&lt;/p&gt;
  16686.  
  16687.  
  16688.  
  16689. &lt;p&gt;And you can even interrupt what Gemini is saying – or change your mind mid-sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  16690.  
  16691.  
  16692.  
  16693. &lt;p&gt;The Sun spoke to senior Google exec Serge LaChapelle, who said you could even use it to beat the ‘Sunday Scaries’ – the weekend anxiety of going to work on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
  16694.  
  16695.  
  16696.  
  16697. &lt;p&gt;“I’ll say something like: I get the fear on Sunday evening. I get stressed and overwhelmed by thinking of the week ahead – and I’d love to learn how to relax or even do breathing exercise,” Serge said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16698.  
  16699.  
  16700.  
  16701. &lt;p&gt;He demoed the feature to The Sun, and showed how Gemini Live would then guide you through breathing exercises to calm down.&lt;/p&gt;
  16702.  
  16703.  
  16704.  
  16705. &lt;p&gt;And he was also able to butt in halfway through and ask for more detail.&lt;/p&gt;
  16706.  
  16707.  
  16708.  
  16709. &lt;p&gt;But Google says it can be used for a lot more than just dealing with work stress.&lt;/p&gt;
  16710.  
  16711.  
  16712.  
  16713. &lt;p&gt;You can brainstorm thoughts out loud, ask for gift ideas, plan events, or even make &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; plans, according to the search engine giant.&lt;/p&gt;
  16714.  
  16715.  
  16716.  
  16717. &lt;p&gt;Students can use it to revise and even quiz themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

  16742.  
  16743.

  16748.  
  16749. &lt;p&gt;“I was able to interrupt it. I was able to get a better answer. I was able to go deeper into it,” Serge told us.&lt;/p&gt;
  16750.  
  16751.  
  16752.  
  16753. &lt;p&gt;“So I find it’s quite a fascinating way to interact with these AI agents.&lt;/p&gt;

  16755.  
  16756.  
  16757. &lt;p&gt;“And one of the fascinating things is that you can also incorporate things from the real world into it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16758.  
  16759.  
  16760.  
  16761. &lt;p&gt;“So for example: “I’ve got a big presentation &lt;span id=&quot;cf82928f-171b-436c-85ce-9291408ba76c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; week, and I want to look young but confident. Could you help me build an outfit that doesn’t include anything of the colour green?”&lt;/p&gt;
  16762.  
  16763.  
  16764.  
  16765. &lt;p&gt;“That’s one of the unique things with Gemini – that it can go and connect to the search engine.&lt;/p&gt;
  16766.  
  16767.  
  16768.  
  16769. &lt;p&gt;“And it’s able to go get answers from &lt;span id=&quot;5794f0dd-193c-4fec-9f66-4b3b95120c6e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;real life&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16770.  
  16771.  
  16772.  
  16773. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866316&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 660px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/google-gem-006.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=650&quot; alt=&quot;Screenshot&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866316&quot; width=&quot;650&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;You can chat to Gemini Live through the regular Gemini app on your Android phone&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Google&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  16774.  
  16775.  
  16776.  
  16777. &lt;p&gt;Serge said that this is one of the biggest breakthroughs for Gemini Live versus older styles of AI.&lt;/p&gt;
  16778.  
  16779.  
  16780.  
  16781. &lt;p&gt;If you’d ever used an early smart speaker, you probably experienced the regular difficulty of getting it to do what you wanted.&lt;/p&gt;
  16782.  
  16783.  
  16784.  
  16785. &lt;p&gt;Serge, a director of product management at Google, even admitted it was a problem with the company’s own early efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
  16786.  
  16787.  
  16788.  
  16789. &lt;p&gt;“I think that we’re just starting to scratch the surface,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16790.  
  16791.  
  16792.  
  16793. &lt;p&gt;“I find with the normal assistants, like the Google Assistant or Alexa and those systems, it was quite frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;
  16794.  
  16795.  
  16796.  
  16797. &lt;p&gt;“Because sometimes if you misspoke a little bit or you tripped up in your command, it would just screw everything up.&lt;/p&gt;
  16798.  
  16799.  
  16800.  
  16801. &lt;p&gt;“And that made me a little bit more hesitant to use those interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
  16802.  
  16803.  
  16804.  
  16805. &lt;p&gt;“Now with this one – where you can interrupt – you can rephrase your sentence mid-sentence as you’re going.&lt;/p&gt;
  16806.  
  16807.  
  16808.  
  16809. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  16810. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  16811. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  16812. &lt;p&gt;These phones have gotten maybe too good, right? And we need to sort of wrangle them back in.&lt;/p&gt;
  16813. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;
  16814. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Serge LaChapelle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit-meta&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;
  16815. &lt;/div&gt;
  16816. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  16817. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  16819.  
  16820.  
  16821.  
  16822. &lt;p&gt;“It gets that. It works with you. And it won’t just latch on to the thing you might have misspoke.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16823.  
  16824.  
  16825.  
  16826. &lt;p&gt;The problem, Serge admits, is getting people into the habit of actually using it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16827.  
  16828.  
  16829.  
  16830. &lt;p&gt;He says that one of the problems is that people see using AI as a form of cheating.&lt;/p&gt;
  16831.  
  16832.  
  16833.  
  16834. &lt;p&gt;Serge explained: “It’s almost a little bit like the calculator, right?&lt;/p&gt;
  16835.  
  16836.  
  16837.  
  16838. &lt;p&gt;“When the calculator first appeared, proper people did not use a calculator, right?&lt;/p&gt;
  16839.  
  16840.  
  16841.  
  16842. &lt;p&gt;“And it was kind of looked down upon – like ‘I don’t need this to get my work done’.&lt;/p&gt;
  16843.  
  16844.  
  16845.  
  16846. &lt;p&gt;“But now, this is maybe the calculator or the search engine of this generation.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16847.  
  16848.  
  16849.  
  16850. &lt;p&gt;The other difficulty is that people don’t know what they don’t know.&lt;/p&gt;
  16851.  
  16852.  
  16853.  
  16854. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866317&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/2024/11/google-gem-005.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Screenshot&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866317&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Gemini can also interact with other Google apps&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Google&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  16855.  
  16856.  
  16857.  
  16858. &lt;p&gt;And so he thinks it’s important to use a mental “trick” of forcing yourself to use it – to break out of normal habits.&lt;/p&gt;
  16859.  
  16860.  
  16861.  
  16862. &lt;p&gt;That way, you’ll be able to find ways that Google’s AI helper can assist you, that you might have otherwise missed.&lt;/p&gt;
  16863.  
  16864.  
  16865.  
  16866. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t see myself being able to go back to two years ago where this wasn’t possible,” Serge told The Sun.&lt;/p&gt;
  16867.  
  16868.  
  16869.  
  16870. &lt;p&gt;“I save a lot of time: I’m not saying I’m saving dozens of hours, but every day, there are small magic moments.&lt;/p&gt;
  16871.  
  16872.  
  16873.  
  16874. &lt;p&gt;“The trick is how. I’ve had to train myself to make those moments happen.&lt;/p&gt;
  16875.  
  16876.  
  16877.  
  16878. &lt;p&gt;“We all have to force ourselves a little bit, because it’s easier to just go on with life like it’s always been than to try something new.&lt;/p&gt;
  16879.  
  16880.  
  16881.  
  16882. &lt;p&gt;“I think Gemini Live is a great way to get people to start using this a little bit every day.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16883.  
  16884.  
  16885.  
  16886. &lt;p&gt;If you don’t like chatting out loud, that’s not a big problem either.&lt;/p&gt;
  16887.  
  16888.  
  16889.  
  16890. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  16891. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  16892. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;WHAT YOU NEED FOR GOOGLE GEMINI LIVE&lt;/h3&gt;

  16898. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16899. Here&amp;#039;s Google&amp;#039;s official list... &lt;/p&gt;
  16901. &lt;div&gt;
  16902. &lt;ul&gt;
  16903. &lt;li&gt;An Android phone or tablet.&lt;/li&gt;
  16904. &lt;li&gt;The Gemini mobile app, or Gemini as your mobile assistant. For now, Gemini Live isn’t available in the Gemini web app, Gemini in Google messages, or the Gemini tab in the Google app on iPhone.&lt;/li&gt;
  16905. &lt;li&gt;A personal Google account that you manage on your own. For now, Gemini Live isn’t available while signed in to a work or school Google account.&lt;/li&gt;
  16906. &lt;li&gt;Your first language in settings is a supported language.&lt;/li&gt;
  16907. &lt;li&gt;Be 18 or over.&lt;/li&gt;
  16908. &lt;/ul&gt;
  16909. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Picture Credit: Google&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16910. &lt;/div&gt;
  16911. &lt;/div&gt;
  16912. &lt;/div&gt;
  16914.  
  16915.  
  16916.  
  16917. &lt;p&gt;The Gemini app on your Android phone works using regular text input – while the Gemini Live feature handles voice.&lt;/p&gt;
  16918.  
  16919.  
  16920.  
  16921. &lt;p&gt;And for some tasks, the regular Gemini system might actually be more useful.&lt;/p&gt;
  16922.  
  16923.  
  16924.  
  16925. &lt;p&gt;“With Gemini Live, it really right now is about conversations and asking it about the world around us,” Serge said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16926.  
  16927.  
  16928.  
  16929. &lt;p&gt;“With the Gemini app proper, it can go and help you with your calendar, it can go help you find information much more quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
  16930.  
  16931.  
  16932.  
  16933. &lt;p&gt;“If you send it a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youtube/&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; window, it has such a big context window and can put an hour’s video in its memory.&lt;/p&gt;
  16934.  
  16935.  
  16936.  
  16937. &lt;p&gt;“And you can go ask it not just about the transcript, but about things happening – like physical things happening – in the video.&lt;/p&gt;
  16938.  
  16939.  
  16940.  
  16941. &lt;p&gt;“One of the use-cases I never thought of: one of my colleagues here is blind. And he says: yeah, now I can understand what’s going on in the YouTube video.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16942.  
  16943.  
  16944.  
  16945. &lt;p&gt;It might sound like it’s all a lot of tech – at a time when it feels like switching off has never been more important.&lt;/p&gt;
  16946.  
  16947.  
  16948.  
  16949. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866320&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 862px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/google-gem-002.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=852&quot; alt=&quot;Screenshot&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866320&quot; width=&quot;852&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;You can choose from a selection of voices for Gemini Live&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Google&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  16950.  
  16951.  
  16952.  
  16953. &lt;p&gt;But Serge thinks that chatting to voice helpers is a great way to break free from tech.&lt;/p&gt;
  16954.  
  16955.  
  16956.  
  16957. &lt;p&gt;By having more humanlike conversations with our gadgets, it can stop us from being stuck staring at screens all day.&lt;/p&gt;
  16958.  
  16959.  
  16960.  
  16961. &lt;p&gt;“We get so many texts every day, so many interruptions, so many notifications. So many things happening: emails, calendar invites, files being shared with us.&lt;/p&gt;
  16962.  
  16963.  
  16964.  
  16965. &lt;p&gt;“And having a tool like this tries to help us focus on what’s important.&lt;/p&gt;
  16966.  
  16967.  
  16968.  
  16969. &lt;p&gt;“These phones have gotten maybe too good, right? And we need to sort of wrangle them back in.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16970.  
  16971.  
  16972.  
  16973. &lt;p&gt;He added: “I think Gemini Live is one of the best examples of how this can become personal again – and where one of the trajectories for these kinds of tools is going to take us.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  17000.  
  17001.  
  17002.  
  17003.  
  17004.  
  17005. &lt;p&gt;SHOPPERS are running to get their hands on these Christmas trees, which cost as little as £13.99.&lt;/p&gt;
  17006.  
  17007.  
  17008.  
  17009. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s beginning to look a lot like&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt; Christmas&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lidl/&quot;&gt;Lidl,&lt;/a&gt; where savvy buyers can nab a small, medium or large tree at a heavily discounted price.&lt;/p&gt;
  17010.  
  17011.  
  17012.  
  17013. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31865211&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/2024/11/190-210cm-british-christmas-tree-951042536.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;an outdoor christmas tree with a british flag in the background&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31865211&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;731&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Lidl&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A Large Christmas Tree from Lidl for just £26.99[/caption]
  17014.  
  17015.  
  17016.  
  17017. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31865229&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 474px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/19-99-save-26-26-951042530.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=464&quot; alt=&quot;a christmas tree is sitting on a stand on a white background .&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31865229&quot; width=&quot;464&quot; height=&quot;591&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Aldi&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;This large Aldi Christmas tree costs £19.99[/caption]
  17018.  
  17019.  
  17020.  
  17021. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re heading to Aldi you can bag a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;large Nordman fir (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.aldi.co.uk/large-nordman-fir/p/738319819404900&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;large Nordman fir&lt;/a&gt; for just £19.99, which measures a whopping 200cm.&lt;/p&gt;
  17022.  
  17023.  
  17024.  
  17025. &lt;p&gt;For just £13.99 you can get a medium sized tree that measures between 160 and 180cm.&lt;/p&gt;
  17026.  
  17027.  
  17028.  
  17029. &lt;p&gt;There are even more discounts to be found at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lidl.co.uk/c/indoor-and-outdoor-plants/a10058857&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Lidl  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Lidl &lt;/a&gt;which is offering a whole array of festive items.&lt;/p&gt;
  17030.  
  17031.  
  17032.  
  17033. &lt;p&gt;For just £16.99 you can buy a medium sized Christmas tree that has been &amp;#8220;hand pruned&amp;#8221; giving it its unique &amp;#8220;full&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;bushy&amp;#8221; shape.&lt;/p&gt;
  17034.  
  17035.  
  17036.  
  17037. &lt;p&gt;It boasts &amp;#8220;soft but strong&amp;#8221; needles, according to the discount supermarket&amp;#8217;s site, and is &amp;#8220;ideal&amp;#8221; for decorating.&lt;/p&gt;
  17038.  
  17039.  
  17040.  
  17041. &lt;p&gt;The website recommends sawing off 5cm off the base of the trunk and placing the tree in a water holding stand.&lt;/p&gt;
  17042.  
  17043.  
  17044.  
  17045. &lt;p&gt;To get the best out of your festive fir, Lidl suggests keeping the water topped up daily as, just like flowers the tree will need hydration.&lt;/p&gt;
  17046.  
  17047.  
  17048.  
  17049. &lt;p&gt;For those with a bigger space, the superstore is offering a large Christmas tree for a staggering £26.99. &lt;/p&gt;
  17050.  
  17051.  
  17052.  
  17053. &lt;p&gt;This is a massive discount compared to other retailers where Christmas trees can often cost hundreds of pounds. &lt;/p&gt;
  17054.

  17104. JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn&amp;#039;t mean it&amp;#039;s always a good deal. &lt;/p&gt;
  17106. &lt;div&gt;
  17107. &lt;p&gt;There are plenty of comparison websites out there that&amp;#8217;ll check prices for you &amp;#8211; so don&amp;#8217;t be left paying more than you have to.&lt;/p&gt;
  17108. &lt;p&gt;Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.&lt;/p&gt;
  17109. &lt;p&gt;Here are some that we recommend:&lt;/p&gt;
  17110. &lt;ul&gt;
  17111. &lt;li&gt;Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.&lt;/li&gt;
  17112. &lt;li&gt;Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.&lt;/li&gt;
  17113. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealo.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Idealo&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them&amp;nbsp;from the cheapest to the most expensive one.&lt;/li&gt;
  17114. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CamelCamelCamel&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of&lt;/li&gt;
  17115. &lt;/ul&gt;
  17116. &lt;/div&gt;
  17117. &lt;/div&gt;
  17118. &lt;/div&gt;
  17120.  
  17121.  
  17122.  
  17123. &lt;p&gt;This comes as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31249029/tips-save-money-food-shopping-meal-plan-reduced/#:~:text=The%20savvy%20saver%20explained%20that,the%20course%20of%20a%20year.&quot;&gt;man has revealed that his food shop &lt;/a&gt;costs him around just £30 a week thanks to Aldi and Lidl buys.&lt;/p&gt;
  17124.  
  17125.  
  17126.  
  17127. &lt;p&gt;Cameron, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot;&gt;content creator&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who regularly shares&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot;&gt;tips&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on how to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money-saving-tips/&quot;&gt;save cash&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;online, recently swore by eight&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hacks/&quot;&gt;hacks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that’ll help you pocket pounds on your&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;food&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  17128.  
  17129.  
  17130.  
  17131. &lt;p&gt;The savvy saver explained that his food shop costs a total of £120 a month and to keep the costs so low, he shops at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lidl/&quot;&gt;Lidl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17132.  
  17133.  
  17134.  
  17135. &lt;p&gt;He claimed that such&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/&quot;&gt;supermarkets&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30820248/which-cheapest-supermarket-aldi-lidl-tesco-asda-morrisons/&quot;&gt;by far the cheapest&lt;/a&gt;” and save him hundreds of pounds over the course of a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  17136.  
  17137.  
  17138.  
  17139. &lt;p&gt;Not only this, but he explained: “I map out a weekly food plan so I know exactly what I need to buy and how much I need to spend.&lt;/p&gt;
  17140.  
  17141.  
  17142.  
  17143. &lt;p&gt;“I then keep track of what I spend as I go to make sure I don&amp;#8217;t go over budget, or you could bring&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/&quot;&gt;cash&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17144.  
  17145.  
  17146.  
  17147. &lt;p&gt;When it comes to going grocery shopping, he advised people to avoid the shops on an empty stomach, to reduce temptations to overspend on unnecessary snacks and treats.&lt;/p&gt;
  17148.  
  17149.  
  17150.  
  17151. &lt;p&gt;In addition to this, he shared why he never buys chicken breasts or pasta sauce, as he claimed: “I cook everything from scratch, which means I only buy raw ingredients, like tinned tomatoes, rice, pasta, raw meats and vegetables, as pre-prepared sauces and meals are way overpriced.&lt;/p&gt;
  17152.  
  17153.  
  17154.  
  17155. &lt;p&gt;“I don&amp;#8217;t buy chicken breasts &amp;#8211; instead I go for cheaper meats like chicken thighs or drumsticks as well as mince with higher percentage fat.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17156.  
  17157.

  17189. &lt;p&gt;GUY RITCHIE rewound 24 years to a real-life Snatch this week after thieves targeted his new big-budget set.&lt;/p&gt;
  17190.  
  17191.  
  17192.  
  17193. &lt;p&gt;The British director was working in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; on his Paramount+ project The Associate, starring &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tom-hardy/&quot;&gt;Tom Hardy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/helen-mirren/&quot;&gt;Helen Mirren&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pierce-brosnan/&quot;&gt;Pierce Brosnan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17194.  
  17195.  
  17196.  
  17197. &lt;p&gt;Insiders told me all hell broke out on the Isle of Dogs when two men in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/toyota/&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; Prius swooped after spotting camera equipment in the street.&lt;/p&gt;
  17198.  
  17199.  
  17200.  
  17201. &lt;p&gt;My mole explained: “Guy had shut roads for the shoot and the production was teeming with security and crew.&lt;/p&gt;
  17202.  
  17203.  
  17204.  
  17205. &lt;p&gt;“Out of nowhere, two blokes arrived in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/24585845/toyota-prius-uk-model-return-market-car-motors/&quot;&gt;Prius&lt;/a&gt; and started asking for directions.&lt;/p&gt;
  17206.  
  17207.  
  17208.  
  17209. &lt;p&gt;“Their questions distracted people and at that moment, the other bloke jumped out and grabbed a bag of camera equipment that was on the side of the road.&lt;/p&gt;
  17210.  
  17211.  
  17212.  
  17213. &lt;p&gt;“He jumped back in the car and they sped off. The security guards started going bananas because they’d basically been robbed in broad daylight.&lt;/p&gt;
  17214.  
  17215.  
  17216.  
  17217. &lt;p&gt;“It was pretty embarrassing and a costly mistake. The kit on those films isn’t cheap.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17218.  
  17219.  
  17220.  
  17221. &lt;p&gt;Plans for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/guy-ritchie/page/2/&quot;&gt;Guy’s new show&lt;/a&gt; were first revealed this year, with the Lock Stock director signing up Tom, Helen and Pierce to star in it.&lt;/p&gt;
  17222.  
  17223.  
  17224.  
  17225. &lt;p&gt;The series will focus on a set of elite London “fixers”, basically gangsters, and wheeler-dealer businesses they run.&lt;/p&gt;
  17226.  
  17227.  
  17228.  
  17229. &lt;p&gt;Guy, who directed the 2000 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/comedy/&quot;&gt;comedy&lt;/a&gt; Snatch, will be counting on the show to be a hit — and given the success of his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt; series The Gentlemen, I’ve got high hopes.&lt;/p&gt;
  17230.  
  17231.  
  17232.  
  17233. &lt;p&gt;The series was watched more than 45million times in the first month and now a second season is in the works, with characters Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass getting another run out.&lt;/p&gt;
  17234.  
  17235.  
  17236.  
  17237. &lt;p&gt;As long as Guy tightens up his security from now on, hopefully the dramas will only be on screen.&lt;/p&gt;

  17317. &lt;p&gt;SHE might be two years away from 80, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cher/&quot;&gt;Cher&lt;/a&gt; is already lining up her next &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/film/&quot;&gt;film&lt;/a&gt; role.&lt;/p&gt;
  17318.  
  17319.  
  17320.  
  17321. &lt;p&gt;The singer, who last appeared in 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, made the revelation during a talk in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-york/&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; while promoting her new memoir.&lt;/p&gt;
  17322.  
  17323.  
  17324.  
  17325. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Francis Ford Coppola sent me an email the other day.&lt;/p&gt;
  17326.  
  17327.  
  17328.  
  17329. &lt;p&gt;“He wants us to do a movie that we talked about 20 years ago. He got me into movies. He once said to me when I was at Vegas, ‘Why are you not doing movies?’.&lt;/p&gt;
  17330.  
  17331.  
  17332.  
  17333. &lt;p&gt;“Singing and dancing is like having a party at someone’s house. Acting is like having a party at your house and one is more fun.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17334.  
  17335.  
  17336.  
  17337. &lt;p&gt;But Francis needs to get in fast, as Oscar-winner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cher/&quot;&gt;Cher&lt;/a&gt; is already batting off deals to turn her two-part memoir – the first of which came out this week – into a biopic.&lt;/p&gt;
  17338.  
  17339.  
  17340.  
  17341. &lt;p&gt;She added: “It could make a good movie. It could be like an eight or nine-parter.&lt;/p&gt;
  17342.  
  17343.  
  17344.  
  17345. &lt;p&gt;“That is true. I have not read the book as I wrote it. I thought, ‘Well, if I wrote it, I don’t have to read it’.&lt;/p&gt;
  17346.  
  17347.  
  17348.  
  17349. &lt;p&gt;“I have another book that is coming out next &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt;. I guess I will read it when I am old.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17350.  
  17351.  
  17352.  
  17353. &lt;p&gt;I hope I have this attitude when I’m 78.&lt;/p&gt;

  17365. &lt;p&gt;SHABOOZEY has had a pretty good year after a global hit single, collaborating with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/beyonce/&quot;&gt;Beyonce&lt;/a&gt; and being nominated for five Grammy Awards&lt;/p&gt;
  17366.

  17370.  
  17371.  
  17372.  
  17373. &lt;p&gt;Despite being nominated for New Artist and Single of the Year, Shaboozey was beaten on both fronts.&lt;/p&gt;
  17374.  
  17375.  
  17376.  
  17377. &lt;p&gt;At least he had an excuse to wear the suit.&lt;/p&gt;

  17389. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/james-arthur/&quot;&gt;JAMES ARTHUR&lt;/a&gt; revealed he has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/adhd/&quot;&gt;ADHD&lt;/a&gt; – and has written a song named after the disorder which affects attention span and self-control.&lt;/p&gt;
  17390.  
  17391.  
  17392.  
  17393. &lt;p&gt;The singer, below, said of the tune, out today: “It is about being loved in the way you want to be loved.&lt;/p&gt;
  17394.  
  17395.  
  17396.  
  17397. &lt;p&gt;“When you experience that, it’s something truly special, especially if you tend to be self-deprecating or have trouble receiving love due to issues or conditions that others might not understand.&lt;/p&gt;
  17398.  
  17399.  
  17400.  
  17401. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/adhd/&quot;&gt;ADHD&lt;/a&gt; is one of those conditions – but when someone accepts you for all your flaws, it can feel like your dreams are a reality.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17402.  
  17403.  
  17404.  
  17405. &lt;p&gt;Other new releases include Tiny Habit’s Lizzy McAlpine collaboration For Sale Sign, Ashaine White&amp;#8217;s I Sing To Myself and Rose&amp;#8217;s Number One Girl.&lt;/p&gt;

  17422.  
  17423.  
  17424.  
  17425. &lt;p&gt;POPPY AJUDHA hit it off with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/raye/&quot;&gt;Raye&lt;/a&gt; years before they became famous – and the singer-songwriter is now keen to link up in the studio.&lt;/p&gt;
  17426.  
  17427.  
  17428.  
  17429. &lt;p&gt;She has known the six-time Brits winner for years and reckons her fellow soul performer is an inspiration.&lt;/p&gt;
  17430.  
  17431.  
  17432.  
  17433. &lt;p&gt;Poppy, whose eponymous second album, is out today, said in an exclusive chat: “I’ve known Raye for a long time. She’s become so huge as an artist. She’s so incredible. I’ve never written with her but would love to.&lt;/p&gt;
  17434.  
  17435.  
  17436.  
  17437. &lt;p&gt;“Raye would be a huge inspiration for the way she does her live show, and to play with orchestras.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17438.  
  17439.  
  17440.  
  17441. &lt;p&gt;She added: “I think I’ve gained so many skills making this album. Now I want to take those skills and make something even bigger and better.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17442.  
  17443.  
  17444.  
  17445. &lt;p&gt;She said the album is “uplifting” and the result of her being a “meticulous control freak”. But it was clearly enjoyable because she is raring to make more music.&lt;/p&gt;
  17446.  
  17447.  
  17448.  
  17449. &lt;p&gt;Poppy explained: “Being in the studio is my favourite part of being an artist. I’m really missing it at the moment. I’m planning to go to LA in January to write my next album.&lt;/p&gt;
  17450.  
  17451.  
  17452.  
  17453. &lt;p&gt;“Songwriting is what makes me feel like a human with purpose in the world.”&lt;/p&gt;

  17464. &lt;div&gt;
  17465. &lt;p&gt;MUSICIAN and TikTok star Addison Rae has ruled herself out of playing Britney Spears in the singer’s biopic – and says others should avoid it too.&lt;/p&gt;
  17466. &lt;p&gt;She told iHeartRadio: “I honestly don’t think anyone deserves to play her. She’s such an enigma and icon.&lt;/p&gt;
  17467. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t even think it’s right to compare me to her at all.&lt;/p&gt;
  17468. &lt;p&gt;“I support anything and everything Britney Spears ever wants to do in her life and career, and I think she’ll have the best opinion on who she thinks that should be.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17469. &lt;/div&gt;
  17470. &lt;/div&gt;
  17471. &lt;/div&gt;

  17520.  
  17521.  
  17522.  
  17523.  
  17524.  
  17525.  
  17526.  
  17527.  
  17528. &lt;p&gt;HAVING hooked viewers for almost a decade, much-loved crime drama Unforgotten is being turned into a documentary series.&lt;/p&gt;
  17529.  
  17530.  
  17531.  
  17532. &lt;p&gt;I can reveal the two-parter will look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/unforgotten-tv-show/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;real-life cold cases&lt;/a&gt; that are the inspiration for the hit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; show that stars &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26086862/unforgotten-nicola-walker-new-role-mary-george-sky/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nicola Walker&lt;/a&gt;, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Sinead Keenan.&lt;/p&gt;
  17533.  
  17534.  
  17535.  
  17536. &lt;p&gt;Simply called The Real Unforgotten, it will air early &lt;span id=&quot;14645c21-027f-4ee8-bf20-81f285e8f8b3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; year on ITV1 around the time that the sixth season of the detective series is released.&lt;/p&gt;
  17537.  
  17538.  
  17539.  
  17540. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider said: “Often real-life events get featured in factual &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TV &lt;/a&gt;shows and then inspire dramas, but in this case it’s the other way around.&lt;/p&gt;
  17541.  
  17542.  
  17543.  
  17544. &lt;p&gt;“ITV bosses saw this as a no-brainer and there are plenty of incredible cold cases to choose from that can feature.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17545.  
  17546.  
  17547.  
  17548. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/documentary/&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/a&gt; series and sixth season also coincide with the tenth anniversary of the show, which comes from the pen of acclaimed screen writer Chris Lang.&lt;/p&gt;
  17549.  
  17550.  
  17551.  
  17552. &lt;p&gt;From 2015 to 2021, Sanjeev, who plays DI Sunny Khan, was paired up with Nicola as DCI &lt;span id=&quot;9ac2dc8f-aa3f-4861-b5e9-0a8eff989fa7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Cassie&lt;/span&gt; Stuart. &lt;/p&gt;
  17553.  
  17554.  
  17555.  
  17556. &lt;p&gt;But she was killed in a car crash at the end of series four.&lt;/p&gt;
  17557.  
  17558.  
  17559.  
  17560. &lt;p&gt;In series five, which aired last year, Sinead played new female lead detective DCI Jessie James. &lt;/p&gt;
  17561.  
  17562.  
  17563.  
  17564. &lt;p&gt;They’re now both set to reprise their roles in the &lt;span id=&quot;a660abc0-c90a-4c51-8fd0-4204b1a4dfeb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; series.&amp;nbsp;Over the past decade, the show has gained a loyal following, and previous seasons have included&amp;nbsp;some&amp;nbsp;masterclass performances from A-listers attracted to appear&amp;nbsp;in it.&lt;/p&gt;
  17565.

  17813. Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains what you need to know about the Household Support Fund. &lt;/p&gt;
  17815. &lt;div&gt;
  17816. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re battling to afford energy and water bills, food or other essential items and services, the Household Support Fund can act as a vital lifeline.&lt;/p&gt;
  17817. &lt;p&gt;The financial support is a little-known way for struggling families to get extra help with the cost of living.&lt;/p&gt;
  17818. &lt;p&gt;Every council in England has been given a share of £421million cash by the government to distribute to local low income households.&lt;/p&gt;
  17819. &lt;p&gt;Each local authority chooses how to pass on the support. Some offer vouchers whereas others give direct cash payments.&lt;/p&gt;
  17820. &lt;p&gt;In many instances, the value of support is worth hundreds of pounds to individual families.&lt;/p&gt;
  17821. &lt;p&gt;Just as the support varies between councils, so does the criteria for qualifying.&lt;/p&gt;
  17822. &lt;p&gt;Many councils offer the help to households on selected benefits or they may base help on the level of household income.&lt;/p&gt;
  17823. &lt;p&gt;The key is to get in touch with your local authority to see exactly what support is on offer.&lt;/p&gt;
  17824. &lt;p&gt;And don&amp;#8217;t delay, the scheme has been extended until April 2025 but your council may dish out their share of the Household Support Fund before this date.&lt;/p&gt;
  17825. &lt;p&gt;Once the cash is gone, you may find they cannot provide any extra help so it&amp;#8217;s crucial you apply as soon as possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17826. &lt;/div&gt;
  17827. &lt;/div&gt;
  17828. &lt;/div&gt;
  17830.  
  17831.  
  17832.  
  17833. &lt;p&gt;Some examples of what other councils are doing include&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot;&gt;Rotherham Council&lt;/a&gt;, which is now offering struggling families £250 grants to fight the cost of living.&lt;/p&gt;
  17834.  
  17835.  
  17836.  
  17837. &lt;p&gt;Rotherham Council says that to qualify for the grant, residents must have no more than £150 remaining each month after covering essential expenses such as food, rent or mortgage, and utility bills.&lt;/p&gt;
  17838.  
  17839.  
  17840.  
  17841. &lt;p&gt;You do not need to be on benefits to apply for the fund.&lt;/p&gt;
  17842.  
  17843.  
  17844.  
  17845. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=Newcastle+Council&quot;&gt;Newcastle Council&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has been awarded £2.9million to help struggling families this winter.&lt;/p&gt;
  17846.  
  17847.  
  17848.  
  17849. &lt;p&gt;Some £950,000 of that fund will be given to those who are pensionable age in receipt of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/council-tax/&quot;&gt;Council Tax&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Support or Housing Benefit but who don’t qualify for the Winter Fuel Allowance.&lt;/p&gt;
  17850.  
  17851.  
  17852.  
  17853. &lt;p&gt;Everyone who is identified as eligible for this support will be contacted directly in December by the council with their payment.&lt;/p&gt;
  17854.  
  17855.  
  17856.  
  17857. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=Sandwell+Council&quot;&gt;Sandwell Council&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has also been allocated more than £3.4million for the period up to March 2025 to help struggling families.&lt;/p&gt;
  17858.  
  17859.  
  17860.  
  17861. &lt;p&gt;The council is using the funds to give 4,000 pensioners on low incomes a £200 payment.&lt;/p&gt;
  17862.  
  17863.  
  17864.  
  17865. &lt;p&gt;To be eligible, you must receive council&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tax/&quot;&gt;tax&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;reduction, but not Pension Credit.&lt;/p&gt;
  17866.  
  17867.  
  17868.  
  17869. &lt;p&gt;This payment will be sent to eligible households in a letter that can be cashed at a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/post-office/&quot;&gt;Post Office&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17870.  
  17871.  
  17872.  
  17873. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, The Sun previously revealed a full list of councils providing extra support for pensioners this winter through the fund.&lt;/p&gt;
  17874.  
  17875.  
  17876.  
  17877. &lt;p&gt;You can check that out&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31564217/areas-offering-pensioner-cost-of-living-payments/&quot;&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17878.  
  17879.  
  17880.  
  17881. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How to know if you qualify?&lt;/h2&gt;
  17882.  
  17883.  
  17884.  
  17885. &lt;p&gt;Financial support available to struggling households varies from council to council, so it is worth checking what schemes your local council offers to ensure you get all the support you need.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17886.  
  17887.  
  17888.  
  17889. &lt;p&gt;The benefits you already receive will not be affected by applying for the HSF.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17890.  
  17891.  
  17892.  
  17893. &lt;p&gt;And, you do not necessarily need to receive benefits in the first place&amp;nbsp; to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/25213141/thousands-of-households-150-vouchers-tesco-aldi-this-week/&quot;&gt;get vouchers or funds from the HSF.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17894.  
  17895.  
  17896.  
  17897. &lt;p&gt;To get the help, you&amp;#8217;ll need to check with your&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=+council+&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;council &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;as local authorities are in charge of distributing the funding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  17960.  
  17961.  
  17962.  
  17963. &lt;p&gt;She died in April 2021 following a long battle with a rare form of leukaemia.&lt;/p&gt;
  17964.  
  17965.  
  17966.  
  17967. &lt;p&gt;Following her death, Ashley and Safiyaa broke up, and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity-sas-who-dares-wins/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins&lt;/a&gt; star Ashley went on to have a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/25409954/ashley-cain-baby-son-born-sweet-name/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;baby boy&lt;/a&gt; with another woman.&lt;/p&gt;
  17968.  
  17969.  
  17970.

  17976.  
  17977.  
  17978.  
  17979. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With all the heartache I’ve been through, I’m truly grateful that I can really start counting my blessings again!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17980.  
  17981.  
  17982.  
  17983. &lt;p&gt;Following his announcement, Safiyya said: &amp;#8220;Working towards my dreams with purpose.&lt;/p&gt;
  17984.  
  17985.  
  17986.  
  17987. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’m embracing the power of healing, kindness, and helping others along the way. &lt;/p&gt;
  17988.  
  17989.  
  17990.  
  17991. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Every step is part of my journey of growth, balance, and resilience, reminding me that true strength comes from within. &lt;/p&gt;
  17992.  
  17993.  
  17994.  
  17995. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I choose to stay true to my purpose, knowing that with each challenge I face, I’m becoming stronger, wiser, and more aligned with the life I’m meant to live. &lt;/p&gt;
  17996.  
  17997.  
  17998.  
  17999. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The path may not always be easy, but it is mine and I will walk it with courage, hope, and unwavering faith in what’s to come.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18023. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about the mother of his second baby, Ashley said: &amp;#8220;I got a call from a girl I was seeing who I have known since I was 18.&lt;/p&gt;
  18024.  
  18025.  
  18026.  
  18027. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are friends and have met up on and off over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
  18028.  
  18029.  
  18030.  
  18031. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She is a really nice person and good to be around. I got a message saying that she needed to speak to me so I went to see her and she told me she was pregnant — I can&amp;#8217;t put into words how that felt.&lt;/p&gt;
  18032.  
  18033.  
  18034.  
  18035. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The thought of potentially having another child after losing one was very difficult to understand for me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18036.  
  18037.  
  18038.  
  18039. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;The Yukon gave me a lot of time and solitude to think and it made me understand that, even though this next part of my journey is going to be hard, I truly understood that every child that comes into this world is a blessing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18040.  
  18041.  
  18042.  
  18043. &lt;p&gt;Safiyya, 36, had previously claimed he had wanted to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/25077055/ashley-cain-safiyya-another-woman-pregnant/&quot;&gt;try for another child&lt;/a&gt; with her and that his baby news last year had left her taken aback.&lt;/p&gt;
  18044.  
  18045.  
  18046.  
  18047. &lt;p&gt;She told us: “I don’t know why he would ask to have another baby with me knowing he’s sleeping with someone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  18048.  
  18049.  
  18050.  
  18051. &lt;p&gt;“When he asked me, it was the moment I’d been waiting for.&lt;/p&gt;
  18052.  
  18053.  
  18054.  
  18055. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I sighed with relief that we could reunite and have a family again.&lt;/p&gt;
  18056.  
  18057.  
  18058.  
  18059. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/15416067/ashley-cain-shows-off-memorial-garden-daughter-azaylia/&quot;&gt;Azaylia’s garden&lt;/a&gt;, in front of our daughter, such a precious, safe space for us.&lt;/p&gt;
  18060.  
  18061.  
  18062.  
  18063. &lt;p&gt;“He said, ‘I don’t want another baby with another woman’, and asked if we could have one together.&lt;/p&gt;
  18064.  
  18065.  
  18066.  
  18067. &lt;p&gt;“I couldn’t speak, the tears were rolling down my face.&lt;/p&gt;
  18068.  
  18069.  
  18070.  
  18071. &lt;p&gt;“Over the coming weeks I then waited for him to say, ‘Shall we get back together’. I truly thought he would, I thought he was just taking things step by step.&lt;/p&gt;
  18072.  
  18073.  
  18074.  
  18075. &lt;p&gt;“But then, out of the blue, he told me he was having a child with someone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  18076.  
  18077.  
  18078.  
  18079. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was like a hurricane had hit me. I am shocked.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18080.  
  18081.  
  18082.  
  18083. &lt;p&gt;Safiyya and Ashley now run &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/22936388/ashley-cain-azaylia-cancer-who-cares-wins-nhs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Azaylia Foundation&lt;/a&gt; together.&lt;/p&gt;

  18087. &lt;p&gt;The former&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ex-on-the-beach/&quot;&gt;Ex on the Beach&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;star has completed&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17793916/ashley-cain-fight-daughter-azaylia/&quot;&gt;a number of physical challenges&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;since his daughter&amp;#8217;s death in 2021 and was preparing to take on the Yukon 1000 when he found out the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;news&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;about the baby in July 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

  18151.  
  18152.  
  18153.  
  18154. &lt;p&gt;In Thursday&amp;#8217;s (November 21) episode, the star misspoke while discussing politeness with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/30119986/etiquette-expert-one-time-food-breakfast-buffet/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;William Hanson,&lt;/a&gt; an etiquette coach and author.&lt;/p&gt;
  18155.  
  18156.  
  18157.  
  18158. &lt;p&gt;William brought up how he&amp;#8217;d noticed Jeremy writes with his left hand.&lt;/p&gt;
  18159.  
  18160.  
  18161.  
  18162. &lt;p&gt;Jeremy replied: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m bi &amp;#8211; is it bisexual? What is it when &amp;#8211; ?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18163.  
  18164.  
  18165.  
  18166. &lt;p&gt;Cutting in, the podcast host responded: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t know if you&amp;#8217;re bisexual.&lt;/p&gt;
  18167.  
  18168.  
  18169.  
  18170. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You could be, I don&amp;#8217;t know Jeremy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18171.  
  18172.  
  18173.  
  18174. &lt;p&gt;Referring to what he&amp;#8217;d thought the host meant, William added: &amp;#8220;Ambidextrous.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18175.  
  18176.  
  18177.  
  18178. &lt;p&gt;However, Jeremy clarified that term doesn&amp;#8217;t exactly fit as he &amp;#8220;can&amp;#8217;t use both hands for everything.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18179.  
  18180.  
  18181.  
  18182. &lt;p&gt;He explained: &amp;#8220;I write left handed, but I would play table &lt;span id=&quot;c63e2e7a-9b28-4571-8e93-f27ea9e16ffc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/span&gt; right handed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18183.  
  18184.  
  18185.  
  18186. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think that might be bidextrous. &lt;/p&gt;

  18210. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s really boring, actually.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18211.  
  18212.  
  18213.  
  18214. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, a recording of the star&amp;#8217;s &lt;span id=&quot;fe9b4b1d-29a3-46a6-bfdc-2a7b6c564713&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Channel 5&lt;/span&gt; daytime programme &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30422634/jeremy-vine-show-chaos-fire-alarm-pulled-off-air/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;was thrown into chaos.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18215.  
  18216.  
  18217.  
  18218. &lt;p&gt;A fire alarm forced the show to go off air while the studio was evacuated.&lt;/p&gt;
  18219.  
  18220.  
  18221.  
  18222. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile,&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25421171/jeremy-vine-viewers-stunned-brands-caller-weird-live/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; viewers were left stunned in January&lt;/a&gt; when Jeremy brazenly branded a caller ‘weird’ live on TV.&lt;/p&gt;
  18223.  
  18224.  
  18225.  
  18226. &lt;p&gt;Stephen from Coventry called into the programme to talk about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/recycling/&quot;&gt;recycling&lt;/a&gt;, however he ended up going on a political rant.&lt;/p&gt;
  18227.  
  18228.  
  18229.  
  18230. &lt;p&gt;An unimpressed Jeremy then said: &amp;#8220;Do you know this is a guy who always rings up.&lt;/p&gt;
  18231.  
  18232.  
  18233.  
  18234. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He uses a really tenuous connection and therefore he puts, did you even hear it? It was just like &amp;#8230;. Okay, thank you, Stephen.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18587.  
  18588.  
  18589.  
  18590. &lt;p&gt;For more than two years, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22541448/worlds-most-dangerous-city-haiti-machete/&quot;&gt;warring factions have been tearing Port-au-Prince apart&lt;/a&gt;, turning every day into a fight for survival.&lt;/p&gt;
  18591.  
  18592.  
  18593.  
  18594. &lt;p&gt;Severe warnings over the capabilities of the militia were made earlier this month after they &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31650662/passenger-plane-gunfire-haiti/&quot;&gt;attacked an airport&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18595.  
  18596.  
  18597.  
  18598. &lt;p&gt;Moving planes were hit by gunfire and left international airlines suspending all flights into the city.&lt;/p&gt;
  18599.  
  18600.  
  18601.  
  18602. &lt;p&gt;A flight attendant was injured as gangs sprayed two planes.&lt;/p&gt;
  18603.  
  18604.  
  18605.  
  18606. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere in Haiti a number of upper-class areas have been invaded by gangs as they set fire to &lt;span id=&quot;489cde03-269f-4033-9964-91cae854131a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/span&gt; and leave families ripped apart.&lt;/p&gt;
  18607.  
  18608.  
  18609.  
  18610. &lt;p&gt;As a result of the escalating gang violence, so-called self-defence brigades have taken justice into their own hands.&lt;/p&gt;
  18611.  
  18612.  
  18613.  
  18614. &lt;p&gt;A UN report said at least 528 cases of lynching were reported in 2023 with hundreds more so far in 2024.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27039321/brit-fled-haiti-brutal-gang-clashes-chopped-machetes/#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18615.  
  18616.  
  18617.  
  18618. &lt;p&gt;Back in February &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/26332565/dangerous-city-civil-war-jail-massacre-haiti/&quot;&gt;armed groups even raided a prison&lt;/a&gt;, releasing more than 5,000 inmates.&lt;/p&gt;
  18619.  
  18620.  
  18621.  
  18622. &lt;p&gt;Since then, thugs have been setting government buildings alight and burning down police stations.&lt;/p&gt;
  18623.  
  18624.  
  18625.  
  18626. &lt;p&gt;As thousands have been slaughtered, assaulted, abused and severely threatened as unprecedented levels of criminality continue to overwhelm the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  18627.  
  18628.  
  18629.  
  18630. &lt;p&gt;The violence has exacerbated an already grim humanitarian situation, with warnings of famine, malnutrition and the collapse of basic services.&lt;/p&gt;
  18631.  
  18632.  
  18633.  
  18634. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  18643. &lt;div&gt;
  18644. &lt;p&gt;Barbecue &amp;#8211; who is rumoured to have earned his nickname for setting his victims on fire &amp;#8211; envisions himself as a &amp;#8220;revolutionary&amp;#8221;, a self-professed &amp;#8220;man of the people&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18645. &lt;p&gt;His methods involve the killing, maiming and extorting of anyone unlucky enough to fall within his turf &amp;#8211; turning every day into a constant battle for survival for residents.&lt;/p&gt;
  18646. &lt;p&gt;The fired cop turned warlord has been taking to the streets with a renewed vengeance and a plan to overthrow the government.&lt;/p&gt;
  18647. &lt;p&gt;He is currently sanctioned by the UK and its allies for &amp;#8220;engaging in acts threatening the peace, security and stability of Haiti&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18648. &lt;p&gt;And his influence is fast increasing as the country spirals into further turmoil sparked by the 2021 assassination of the country&amp;#8217;s Prime Minister Jovenal Moïse.&lt;/p&gt;
  18649. &lt;p&gt;Ever since, a security vacuum opened up and Barbecue has been greedily exploiting it, taking over territory and expanding his coalition with other gangs to wage further war.&lt;/p&gt;
  18650. &lt;p&gt;G9 has also been responsible for repeatedly cutting Haiti off from its much-needed fuel supply by taking its main&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/oil/&quot;&gt;oil&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;terminal hostage.&lt;/p&gt;
  18651. &lt;p&gt;In a savage display of strength, Barbecue paralysed the country several times by preventing the distribution of food, water and vital medicines, plunging it into a deeper humanitarian crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
  18652. &lt;p&gt;Barbecue&amp;#8217;s criminal career dates back to his time as a police officer, &lt;a href=&quot;https://insightcrime.org/haiti-organized-crime-news/jimmy-cherizier-alias-barbecue/#:~:text=History,of%20Port%2Dau%2DPrince.&quot;&gt;InSight Crime&lt;/a&gt; reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  18653. &lt;p&gt;He participated in an anti-gang operation in 2017, leading to the extrajudicial killing of nine civilians.&lt;/p&gt;
  18654. &lt;p&gt;In 2018, he led a group of seven gangs in a massacre in La Saline, Haiti&amp;#8217;s worst massacre in over a decade.&lt;/p&gt;
  18655. &lt;p&gt;Barbecue was then fired from the police force and a warrant was issued for his arrest.&lt;/p&gt;
  18656. &lt;p&gt;In 2019, he participated in a four-day attack across Port-au-Prince&amp;#8217;s Bel-Air neighborhood, killing at least 24 people.&lt;/p&gt;
  18657. &lt;/div&gt;
  18658. &lt;/div&gt;

  18701. &lt;p&gt;AN ORIGINAL T-Bird has been spotted looking worlds away from how he did in the iconic movie Grease.&lt;/p&gt;
  18702.  
  18703.  
  18704.  
  18705. &lt;p&gt;Roger &amp;#8220;Putzie&amp;#8221; is a character in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/4826431/grease-cast-now-olivia-newton-john/&quot;&gt;1978 film Grease&lt;/a&gt; -which starred &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/olivia-newton-john/&quot;&gt;Olivia Newton-John&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/john-travolta/&quot;&gt;John Travolta&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5998470/grease-where-are-they-now-40-years-release/&quot;&gt;portrayed by Kelly Ward&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18726.  
  18727.  
  18728.  
  18729. &lt;p&gt;Kelly, who celebrated his 68th birthday this week, played the hunky blonde student at Rydell High School, who was also the youngest member of the T-Birds.&lt;/p&gt;
  18730.  
  18731.  
  18732.  
  18733. &lt;p&gt;Kelly, who looks very different from his Putzie role, was spotted this week in California the day after his big day.&lt;/p&gt;
  18734.  
  18735.  
  18736.  
  18737. &lt;p&gt;Having just celebrated his birthday, Kelly was seen on Monday arriving at a voice-over studio in Glendale.&lt;/p&gt;
  18738.  
  18739.  
  18740.  
  18741. &lt;p&gt;Dressed in blue denim jeans, some sneakers, and a pink long-sleeved shirt, the actor also donned some thin-framed glasses and held onto a notebook.&lt;/p&gt;
  18742.  
  18743.  
  18744.  
  18745. &lt;p&gt;In the hit romance flick, Kelly&amp;#8217;s character Putzie has a girlfriend called Jan. &lt;/p&gt;
  18746.  
  18747.  
  18748.  
  18749. &lt;p&gt;Heading out on a date to Frosty Palace, Putzie was amazed that Jan didn&amp;#8217;t make him pay for a lot of food and even branded her a cheap date.&lt;/p&gt;
  18750.  
  18751.  
  18752.

  18754.  
  18755.  
  18756.  
  18757. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_22604098&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 942px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/GettyImages-1189257807jpg-JS823245464-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=932&quot; alt=&quot;a group of men standing next to each other with one wearing a leather jacket&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-22604098&quot; width=&quot;932&quot; height=&quot;702&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The older T-Birds seemed to take Putzie under their wings&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  18758.  
  18759.  
  18760.  
  18761. &lt;p&gt;Worried that he had upset his girlfriend, Putzie tried to apologise but she had taken the compliment as intended and then invited him to her place for some of her mum&amp;#8217;s pie.&lt;/p&gt;
  18762.  
  18763.  
  18764.  
  18765. &lt;p&gt;Putzie was the one at&amp;nbsp;Thunder Road&amp;nbsp;who accidentally injured&amp;nbsp;fellow T-Bird Kenickie&amp;nbsp;in the head with the car door.&lt;/p&gt;
  18766.

  18773. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about starring in Grease, Kelly previously told &lt;a class=&quot;&quot; href=&quot;https://snakkle.com/where-are-they-now-interview-kelly-ward-grease-jake-and-the-never-land-pirates/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Snakkle&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;#8220;It’s a great thing to be a part of that phenomenon. &lt;/p&gt;
  18774.  
  18775.  
  18776.  
  18777. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s oft-repeated, but none of us really had any idea that it would be as successful and pervasive as it is,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

  18830. IT has been over 45 years since the release of hit musical film Grease, which began its decades-long tenure of dazzling fans in 1978. &lt;/p&gt;
  18832. &lt;div&gt;
  18833. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, including Susan Buckner, five of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/4826431/grease-cast-now-olivia-newton-john/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;much-loved cast&lt;/a&gt; have passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  18834. &lt;p&gt;On August 8, 2022 it was announced that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27782625/grease-star-susan-buckner-dead-olvia-newton-john/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Olivia Newton-John had passed away aged 73&lt;/a&gt;, following a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/19455270/olivia-newton-john-cause-of-death-live/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;30 year battle with breast cancer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18835. &lt;p&gt;After falling ill with pneumonia, Jeff Conaway &amp;#8211; Danny&amp;#8217;s best pal Kenickie in the movie &amp;#8211; sadly passed away in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
  18836. &lt;p&gt;The same year, Annette Charles, who played Cha Cha, lost her battle with cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18837. &lt;p&gt;In 1993, Dennis C. Stewart, who played rebel Leo, was diagnosed with HIV and passed away from AIDS in 1994.&lt;/p&gt;
  18838. &lt;/div&gt;

  18845. &lt;p&gt;The actor is also a screenwriter for several cartoons, and he even wrote the feature film All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 which came out in 1996.&lt;/p&gt;
  18846.  
  18847.  
  18848.  
  18849. &lt;p&gt;The original T-Bird has also contributed to the production of a number of major films, including Back to the Future and The Pink Panther TV series.&lt;/p&gt;
  18850.  
  18851.

  18892.  
  18893. &lt;p&gt;A MAP has revealed the UK&amp;#8217;s Grinch capital where the stingiest councils spend the least on Christmas cheer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18894.  
  18895.  
  18896.  
  18897. &lt;p&gt;As the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;festive season&lt;/a&gt; gets into full swing, communities across the nation will look forward to light displays and other jolly celebrations in their cities.&lt;/p&gt;
  18898.  
  18899.  
  18900.  
  18901. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31865367&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/2024/11/view-covent-garden-london-united-946844455.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a building with a sign that says ' jewellery ' on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31865367&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A map has revealed the UK&amp;#8217;s Grinch capital where the stingiest councils spend the least on Christmas cheer[/caption]
  18902.  
  18903.  
  18904.  
  18905. &lt;p&gt;But the degree of merriment may vary depending on where you live, as figures from &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Gardening Express  (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/blog/post/lighting-up-the-nation-uk-city-councils-christmas-lights-budgets-2024&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Gardening Express &lt;/a&gt;revealed the lowest UK council budgets.&lt;/p&gt;
  18906.  
  18907.  
  18908.  
  18909. &lt;p&gt;The data has been compiled into spending per 1,000 people, based on their overall cost and population. &lt;/p&gt;
  18910.  
  18911.  
  18912.  
  18913. &lt;p&gt;Ranking tenth in the tightest spenders was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/sheffield/&quot;&gt;Sheffield&lt;/a&gt;, who are only forking out £173 per 1,000 residents on Christmas festivities this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  18914.  
  18915.  
  18916.  
  18917. &lt;p&gt;A close ninth place was snapped up by&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/stoke-on-trent/&quot;&gt; Stoke-on-Trent&lt;/a&gt; where the council are only contributing £170.&lt;/p&gt;
  18918.  
  18919.  
  18920.  
  18921. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/plymouth/&quot;&gt;Plymouth&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/winchester/&quot;&gt;Winchester &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/doncaster/&quot;&gt;Doncaster &lt;/a&gt;are set to pour in just £141, £146, and £158 respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
  18922.  
  18923.  
  18924.  
  18925. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/salford/&quot;&gt;Salford &lt;/a&gt;council in Manchester is choosing to shell out £96, which is closely followed by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/nottingham/&quot;&gt;Nottingham &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; where the budget is £94.&lt;/p&gt;
  18926.  
  18927.  
  18928.  
  18929. &lt;p&gt;However, the top three lowest spenders don&amp;#8217;t even reach £90. &lt;/p&gt;
  18930.  
  18931.  
  18932.  
  18933. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/barnsley/&quot;&gt;Barnsley&lt;/a&gt;, in South Yorkshire, came in at third place, with a total of £89, while Lincoln, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/lincolnshire/&quot;&gt;Lincolnshire&lt;/a&gt;, has set aside £86.&lt;/p&gt;
  18934.  
  18935.  
  18936.  
  18937. &lt;p&gt;But, the council spending the least on their Christmas joy is St Albans City in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/hertfordshire/&quot;&gt;Hertforshire&lt;/a&gt;, with just £78.&lt;/p&gt;
  18938.  
  18939.  
  18940.  
  18941. &lt;p&gt;On the other end of the spectrum, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/glasgow/&quot;&gt;Glasgow &lt;/a&gt;was named as the biggest festive spender.&lt;/p&gt;
  18942.  
  18943.  
  18944.  
  18945. &lt;p&gt;The average spend per 1,000 people is expected to total a whopping £461.25 in comparison.&lt;/p&gt;
  18946.  
  18947.  
  18948.  
  18949. &lt;p&gt;St Albans City and District council was contacted for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  18950.  
  18951.  
  18952.  
  18953. &lt;p&gt;This comes as the 10 most magical Christmas light shows this year have been revealed.&lt;/p&gt;
  18954.  
  18955.  
  18956.  
  18957. &lt;p&gt;There are many stunning light shows across England from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/20784301/kew-gardens-frozen-london-christmas/&quot;&gt;Kew Gardens&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in London to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6715946/blenheim-palace-who-where-winston-churchill/&quot;&gt;Blenheim Palace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Oxfordshire.&lt;/p&gt;
  18958.  
  18959.  
  18960.  
  18961. &lt;p&gt;When Christmas arrives,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/25775533/kew-gardens-bluey-event-easter/&quot;&gt;Kew Gardens&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is lit up with more than a million bulbs.&lt;/p&gt;
  18962.  
  18963.  
  18964.  
  18965. &lt;p&gt;It’s an entirely new way to see the 320 acre attraction which is home to over 16,000 species of plants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18966.  
  18967.  
  18968.  
  18969. &lt;p&gt;Visiting&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/20784301/kew-gardens-frozen-london-christmas/&quot;&gt;Christmas at Kew&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;doesn’t have to break the bank either, as ticket prices range from £21.50 for members at off-peak times to £26 at peak times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18970.  
  18971.  
  18972.  
  18973. &lt;p&gt;For non-members, it is a little bit more expensive with off-peak tickets costing £25.50 and peak tickets costing £32.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18974.  
  18975.  
  18976.  
  18977. &lt;p&gt;The grounds at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6715946/blenheim-palace-who-where-winston-churchill/&quot;&gt;Blenheim Palace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are also so beautiful that they have been used in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/harry-potter/&quot;&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/james-bond/&quot;&gt;James Bond&lt;/a&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/22882373/indiana-jones-dial-of-destiny-filming-locations/&quot;&gt;Indiana Jones&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;— but&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is really something special.&lt;/p&gt;
  18978.  
  18979.  
  18980.  
  18981. &lt;p&gt;Kids will love the Neverland in the palace experience, which gives them the opportunity to explore the sparkling state rooms, complete with a model London skyline&lt;/p&gt;
  18982.  
  18983.  
  18984.  
  18985. &lt;p&gt;Also, £1 will be added at basket stage for each Neverland in the Palace ticket to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/3984129/great-ormond-street-hospital-gosh-children/&quot;&gt;Great Ormond Street Hospital&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Children’s Charity.&lt;/p&gt;
  18986.  
  18987.  
  18988.  
  18989. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Bedgebury is home to a one-mile magical winter trail which has fields of light and giant, luminous seed pods.&lt;/p&gt;
  18990.  
  18991.  
  18992.  
  18993. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll get the chance to walk through sparkling tunnels of light and the forest is drenched in all of the colours of the rainbow.&lt;/p&gt;
  18994.  
  18995.  
  18996.  
  18997. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s perfect for a little&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/24652633/cold-christmas-winter-hack-home-bargains-game-changer/&quot;&gt;Christmas warmth&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on a cold December day.&lt;/p&gt;
  18998.  
  18999.  
  19000.  
  19001. &lt;p&gt;Christmas at Bedgebury runs from November 14 to December 31, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  19002.

  19071.  
  19072. &lt;p&gt;VLADIMIR Putin has warned he could strike British and US military facilities in his biggest threat yet after Ukraine fired Nato missiles into Russian territory.&lt;/p&gt;
  19073.  
  19074.  
  19075.  
  19076. &lt;p&gt;The dictator revealed that he blasted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31857854/russia-ukraine-war-ballistic-missile-new-weapon-zelensky/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ukraine today with a new kind of ballistic missile&lt;/a&gt; that hurtled down from the edge of space in a “depraved” act of nuclear brinksmanship.&lt;/p&gt;

  19089.  
  19090.  
  19091.  
  19092. &lt;p&gt;In a televised address today, Putin said that military facilities inside the UK and the US could become valid targets for the Russian forces as a direct response to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31785746/ukraine-targets-putin-russia-missiles/&quot;&gt;Ukraine&amp;#8217;s use of ATACMS&lt;/a&gt; and Storm Shadow missiles. &lt;/p&gt;
  19093.  
  19094.  
  19095.  
  19096. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;Russia considers itself entitled to use weapons against military facilities of countries that permit the use of their weapons against Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
  19097.  
  19098.  
  19099.  
  19100. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Since this moment, as we have underscored repeatedly, the conflict in Ukraine, provoked by the West, has acquired elements of global nature.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  19101.  
  19102.  
  19103.  
  19104. &lt;p&gt;Kyiv today claimed that Ukraine was hit with what was thought to be the first use of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in the war as part of Russia&amp;#8217;s revenge blitz.&lt;/p&gt;
  19105.  
  19106.  
  19107.  
  19108. &lt;p&gt;Video showed&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31823079/russia-ukraine-putin-revenge-ballistic-missile/&quot;&gt;rockets raining down on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; reportedly six different warheads from a nuclear-capable Russian R-26 Rubezh ICBM.&lt;/p&gt;
  19109.  
  19110.  
  19111.  
  19112. &lt;p&gt;However, in the same address, Putin announced the Russian forces instead tested a new intermediate-range missile (IRBM) in a strike on Ukraine.&lt;/p&gt;
  19113.  
  19114.  
  19115.  
  19116. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested, among other things,&amp;#8221; he said in his TV address. &lt;/p&gt;
  19117.  
  19118.  
  19119.  
  19120. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In this case, with a ballistic missile in a nuclear-free hypersonic equipment. Our engineers named it Oreshnik.&lt;/p&gt;
  19121.  
  19122.  
  19123.  
  19124. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In response to the use of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21 of this year, the Russian armed forces launched a combined strike on one of the facilities of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  19125.  
  19126.  
  19127.  
  19128. &lt;p&gt;He warned that it could use the weapon against countries that have allowed Kyiv to use its missiles to strike Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
  19129.  
  19130.  
  19131.  
  19132. &lt;p&gt;And that there is currently no means to counter such a weapon. &lt;/p&gt;
  19133.  
  19134.  
  19135.  
  19136. &lt;p&gt;The dictator added: &amp;#8220;If necessary, we will choose targets for destruction. There are currently no means to counter such weapons. It is impossible.&lt;/p&gt;
  19137.  
  19138.  
  19139.  
  19140. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&amp;#8216;I recommend that the ruling elites of those countries which are considering allegiance against Russia seriously consider this.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  19141.  
  19142.  
  19143.  
  19144. &lt;p&gt;Zelensky said the “new Russian missile” reached the speed and heights of an ICBM.&lt;/p&gt;
  19145.  
  19146.  
  19147.  
  19148. &lt;p&gt;ICBMs have a range of over 5,500km and were designed for nuclear war.&lt;/p&gt;
  19149.  
  19150.  
  19151.  
  19152. &lt;p&gt;They blast into the edge of space and can reach speeds of 13,000mph before hurtling almost down to their targets.&lt;/p&gt;
  19153.  
  19154.  
  19155.  
  19156. &lt;p&gt;Britain’s defence secretary John Healey said Russia had been planning the strike “for months”.&lt;/p&gt;
  19157.  
  19158.  
  19159.  
  19160. &lt;p&gt;Russia refused to comment on the type of missile used.&lt;/p&gt;

  19181.  
  19182.  
  19183.  
  19184. &lt;p&gt;Todayls strike on Ukraine was part of a nine-missile blitz on the central city of Dnipro in the early hours of Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
  19185.  
  19186.  
  19187.  
  19188. &lt;p&gt;Ukraine’s Air Force said an alleged ICBM was launched from Russia’s Astrakhan region around 1000km from Dnipro.&lt;/p&gt;
  19189.  
  19190.  
  19191.  
  19192. &lt;p&gt;Kyiv&amp;#8217;s media claimed the missile was an RS-26 Rubezh missile with a range of 5,800km.&lt;/p&gt;
  19193.  
  19194.  
  19195.  
  19196. &lt;p&gt;If confirmed, it would be the first time an ICBM has ever been fired in anger.&lt;/p&gt;
  19197.  
  19198.  
  19199.  
  19200. &lt;p&gt;Western officials confirmed that a ballistic missile was used but they cautioned that its range was short of ICBM threshold.&lt;/p&gt;
  19201.  
  19202.  
  19203.  
  19204. &lt;p&gt;The Rubezh is 12m long, weighs 36 tonnes and is launched from a 16-wheel vehicle.&lt;/p&gt;
  19205.  
  19206.  
  19207.  
  19208. &lt;p&gt;It can carry an 800kg nuclear warhead and reach every country in the northern hemisphere from launch sites on Russian soil.&lt;/p&gt;
  19209.  
  19210.  
  19211.  
  19212. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Russia&amp;#8217;s foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;told halfway through a press briefing not to comment on the suspected ICBM strike.&lt;/p&gt;
  19213.  
  19214.  
  19215.  
  19216. &lt;p&gt;She could be seen answering a call in the middle of the televised conference.&lt;/p&gt;
  19217.  
  19218.  
  19219.  
  19220. &lt;p&gt;The conversation was overheard via her mic &amp;#8211; with a presumably senior diplomat saying: &amp;#8220;Masha [Maria], ballistic missile strikes on Yuzhmash [defence plant in Dnipro].&lt;/p&gt;
  19221.  
  19222.  
  19223.  
  19224. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Westerners are talking about it now. Don’t comment at all.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19225.  
  19226.  
  19227.  
  19228. &lt;p&gt;Today&amp;#8217;s strike came a day after America shut its embassies in Kyiv over fears of a “significant missile strike”.&lt;/p&gt;
  19229.  
  19230.  
  19231.  
  19232. &lt;p&gt;Britain kept its embassy open.&lt;/p&gt;
  19233.  
  19234.  
  19235.  
  19236. &lt;p&gt;Ukraine used the ATACMS rockets to hit a military depot in Bryansk &amp;#8211; marking a major development on day 1000 of the brutal war.&lt;/p&gt;
  19237.  
  19238.  
  19239.  
  19240. &lt;p&gt;Footage last night revealed the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31833091/brit-supplied-storm-shadow-missile-russia-ukraine/&quot;&gt;moment Ukraine reportedly fired Storm Shadow rockets inside Russia&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;

  19253.  
  19254.  
  19255.  
  19256. &lt;p&gt;Russia’s ambassador to the UK, Andrei Kelin, claimed the use of Storm Shadow missiles against a military site in Russia meant Britain “is now directly involved in this war”.&lt;/p&gt;
  19257.  
  19258.  
  19259.  
  19260. &lt;p&gt;Moscow has made similar claims in the past over Western support for Ukraine.&lt;/p&gt;
  19261.  
  19262.  
  19263.  
  19264. &lt;p&gt;On Tuesday President Putin signed a new nuclear doctrine to lower the threshold for doomsday strikes.&lt;/p&gt;
  19265.  
  19266.  
  19267.  
  19268. &lt;p&gt;The policy, months in the making, lets Russia unleash a nuclear first strike if it is attacked by a country backed by a nuclear power.&lt;/p&gt;
  19269.  
  19270.  
  19271.  
  19272. &lt;p&gt;Unconfirmed footage showed multiple blasts over Dnipro consistent with a type of warhead known as a multiple independent reentry vehicle or MIRV.&lt;/p&gt;
  19273.  
  19274.  
  19275.  
  19276. &lt;p&gt;MIRVs were designed in the 1960s to let one nuclear missile carry several doomsday warheads.&lt;/p&gt;
  19277.  
  19278.  
  19279.  
  19280. &lt;p&gt;Russia claimed the strikes targeted a Ukrainian missile factory.&lt;/p&gt;

  19292. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EXCLUSIVE by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/sayan-bosethe-sun-co-uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sayan Bose&lt;/a&gt;, Foreign News Reporter, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/georgie-english/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Georgie English&lt;/a&gt;, Foreign News Reporter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19293. &lt;p&gt;After 1,000 days of Vlad&amp;#8217;s gruelling war in&amp;nbsp;Ukraine,&amp;nbsp;the conflict has left more than a million soldiers and civilians dead or wounded.&lt;/p&gt;
  19294. &lt;p&gt;Putin&amp;#8217;s forces invaded their neighbouring nation in February 2022 as part of the deluded tyrant&amp;#8217;s plan to rebuild the Soviet Union amid his paranoid fears over&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nato/&quot;&gt;Nato&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19295. &lt;p&gt;Almost three years later,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kyiv/&quot;&gt;Kyiv&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;battle-weary troops are fighting to the death on multiple fronts.&lt;/p&gt;
  19296. &lt;p&gt;They have faced several setbacks in the grinding conflict as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/russia/&quot;&gt;Russia&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has made slow but incremental gains over Ukrainian territory.&lt;/p&gt;
  19297. &lt;p&gt;But the green light from the US that now allows Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles could be a game changer, an expert has said.&lt;/p&gt;
  19298. &lt;p&gt;Colonel&amp;nbsp;Hamish de Bretton-Gordon told The Sun how Ukraine could turn the war around in six weeks when provided with unwavering support from key allies in the West.&lt;/p&gt;
  19299. &lt;p&gt;The former British&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/army/&quot;&gt;army&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;officer said Washington&amp;#8217;s decision to allow Ukraine to use ATACMS &amp;#8211; and the prospect of Britain&amp;#8217;s Storm Shadow missiles joining the war effort &amp;#8211; is a &amp;#8220;significant development&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19300. &lt;p&gt;He explained: &amp;#8220;Since day one Putin and his close aides have been threatening a nuclear strike if we escalate it, and today is the 1,000th day of this conflict, and it hasn&amp;#8217;t happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  19301. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It should embolden our leaders, who must now realise that Putin&amp;#8217;s threats are completely hollow.&lt;/p&gt;
  19302. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With the Russian boxer on the ropes, now is the time that we enable the Ukrainians to absolutely put in the killer punch and be in a really good position for the expected ceasefire.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19303. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;The fact that the Russians have been so vehement in their verbal attacks against the use of Nato missiles shows that this is a significant step.&lt;/p&gt;
  19304. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It could allow Ukraine to gain a good position in [the next] six weeks which will be important for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/volodymyr-zelensky/&quot;&gt;Zelensky&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;if Trump forces a ceasefire after getting back in office.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  19370.  
  19371. &lt;p&gt;THREE rugby heroes were gobsmacked by a skirmish with teens in Nando&amp;#8217;s sparked by a lad yelling: &amp;#8220;Where&amp;#8217;s the f*****g medium sauce?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19372.  
  19373.  
  19374.  
  19375. &lt;p&gt;Drew Mitchell told how he got punched on a &amp;#8220;cheeky&amp;#8221; trip to a Cardiff restaurant with fellow ex-Wallabies&amp;nbsp;Adam Ashley-Cooper and Matt Giteau.&lt;/p&gt;

  19380.  
  19381.  
  19382.  
  19383. &lt;p&gt;The trio could hardly believe&amp;nbsp;their bizarre experience on what they thought would be a peaceful day&amp;nbsp;watching&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31761304/england-vs-south-africa-rugby-report/#:~:text=MORE%20RED%20WOES-,England%2020%20South%20Africa%2029%3A%20Red%20Rose%20edged%20out%20again,Springboks%20inflict%20fifth%20straight%20defeat&amp;amp;text=ENGLAND%20slumped%20to%20a%20FIFTH,best%20effort%20of%20the%20autumn.&quot;&gt;England v South Africa&lt;/a&gt; then New Zealand v France game &amp;#8211; ahead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/16761087/wales-australia-rugby-live-stream-free-score-tv-watch-autumn-international-online/page/2/&quot;&gt;Wales vs Australia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19384.  
  19385.  
  19386.  
  19387. &lt;p&gt;They saw, when they asked one youth in the angry exchange how old he was, he flexed his muscles and roared: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m 16!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19388.  
  19389.  
  19390.  
  19391. &lt;p&gt;The athletic threesome revealed their unexpected&amp;nbsp;encounter&amp;nbsp;in the Welsh capital on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9yArmIORCY&amp;amp;t=1s&quot;&gt;For The Love Of Rugby podcast,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;hosted by England&amp;#8217;s record-appearance maker Ben Youngs.&lt;/p&gt;
  19392.  
  19393.  
  19394.  
  19395. &lt;p&gt;Mitchell piqued Youngs&amp;#8217; interest by revealing:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;It was a tough train trip this morning from Cardiff.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19396.  
  19397.  
  19398.  
  19399. &lt;p&gt;The 127-cap presenter then asked: &amp;#8220;Did something happen in Nando&amp;#8217;s when you first arrived?&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; with all three replying: &amp;#8220;Oh, yeah.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19400.  
  19401.  
  19402.  
  19403. &lt;p&gt;Mitchell, 40, said: &amp;#8220;We watched &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/&quot;&gt;England v South Africa&lt;/a&gt;. We just thought we&amp;#8217;ll go for a cheeky Nando&amp;#8217;s before New Zealand v France.&lt;/p&gt;
  19404.  
  19405.  
  19406.  
  19407. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was lining up and the restaurant was completely packed. This bloke just came over the side and said, &amp;#8216;where&amp;#8217;s the f*****g medium sauce?&amp;#8217; &lt;/p&gt;
  19408.  
  19409.  
  19410.  
  19411. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was like, &amp;#8216;mate, you alright? There&amp;#8217;s a line here&amp;#8217;. And he goes, &amp;#8216;what? F*** off, mate. Where&amp;#8217;s the medium sauce?&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;

  19416.  
  19417.  
  19418.  
  19419. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I said, &amp;#8216;No, mate. F*** off&amp;#8217;. Then it kicked off a little bit. You know one of those little chavs getting all big. &lt;/p&gt;
  19420.  
  19421.  
  19422.  
  19423. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was a pretty small looking dude. I&amp;#8217;m looking at him, and then I get clocked from the side by his little mate. And then he started to really kick off.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  19447. &lt;p&gt;Ashley-Cooper, also 40, interjected:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;He got you clean&amp;#8221; Ashley-Cooper and added. &amp;#8220;I said, &amp;#8216;how old are you?&amp;#8217; He goes, &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;m 16!&amp;#8217; [flexes arms].&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19448.  
  19449.

  19451. &lt;p&gt;From there&amp;nbsp;the tale became even more crazy, according to&amp;nbsp;Mitchell.&lt;/p&gt;
  19452.  
  19453.  
  19454.  
  19455. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;All the security from the bar we were in &amp;#8211; Boom Battle Bar [in the Brewery Quarter]&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; came in. There were like six security guards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19456.  
  19457.  
  19458.  
  19459. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They kicked these three blokes out, and they were like, &amp;#8216;do you want us to go to the cops?&amp;#8217; I was, like, &amp;#8216;mate, it&amp;#8217;s fine. Just make sure they&amp;#8217;re not outside just waiting to shank us when we walk out&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19460.  
  19461.  
  19462.  
  19463. &lt;p&gt;Giteau, 42, then told the podcast: &amp;#8220;You did very well. &lt;/p&gt;
  19464.  
  19465.  
  19466.  
  19467. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was like, &amp;#8216;Drew, we don&amp;#8217;t need this&amp;#8217;. We just got here, you know what I mean &amp;#8211; in the papers that he&amp;#8217;s ended up flogging a 16-year-old.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19468.  
  19469.  
  19470.  
  19471. &lt;p&gt;Ashley-Cooper added: &amp;#8220;And it&amp;#8217;s a family restaurant!&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19472.  
  19473.  
  19474.  
  19475. &lt;p&gt;To which Youngs joked: &amp;#8220;I love how he was scared of a 16-year-old waiting for him outside.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19476.  
  19477.  
  19478.  
  19479. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for Wales &amp;#8211; but to the joy of the Oz trio &amp;#8211; then Wallabies then handed out a painful beating: a record 11th defeat in a row for the Dragons, by 50-22.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  19522. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEGENDARY commentator Clive Tyldesley has revealed his final match on UK television could be as soon as next month.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19523.  
  19524.

  19533.  
  19534. &lt;p&gt;He was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28843193/clive-tyldesley-itv-germany-denmark/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;axed by ITV after commentating on Euro 2024&lt;/a&gt; but vowed to stay in broadcasting.&lt;/p&gt;
  19535.  
  19536.  
  19537.  
  19538. &lt;p&gt;The 70-year-old quickly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28888318/clive-tyldesley-new-job-itv-cbs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;snapped up a new job with US network CBS&lt;/a&gt; but kept his role with Amazon Prime where he covers the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19539.  
  19540.  
  19541.  
  19542. &lt;p&gt;However, because Amazon&amp;#8217;s deal with England&amp;#8217;s top flight set to expire soon, his final game commentating for UK audiences is quickly approaching.&lt;/p&gt;
  19543.  
  19544.  
  19545.  
  19546. &lt;p&gt;Tyldesley&amp;#8217;s final Prem match for the channel could be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/3571589/brighton-hove-albion/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brighton&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s clash with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225644/brentford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brentford&lt;/a&gt; during the Christmas period.&lt;/p&gt;
  19547.

  19550. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theanfieldwrap.com/2024/11/a-three-horse-race-neil-clive-tyldesley/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Anfield Wrap&lt;/a&gt; podcast, he explained: &amp;#8220;What actually could be the final game I ever commentate for UK television is Brighton-Brentford. That won&amp;#8217;t be dull.&lt;/p&gt;
  19551.  
  19552.  
  19553.  
  19554. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s on 27 December. Amazon Prime, this is their final year, so the Premier League going forward is going back to a two-man cartel of Sky and TNT.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19555.  
  19556.  
  19557.  
  19558. &lt;p&gt;Amazon did not enter the running for Prem broadcast rights from 2025-26 onwards.&lt;/p&gt;
  19559.  
  19560.  
  19561.  
  19562. &lt;p&gt;Instead, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky-sports/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sky Sports&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tnt-sports/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TNT Sports&lt;/a&gt; won the process and will continue sharing the rights.&lt;/p&gt;

  19567.  
  19568.  
  19569.  
  19570. &lt;p&gt;After announcing his new job with CBS back in July, Tyldesley explained: &amp;#8220;All I can do is keeping reviewing my own standards, keep making myself available.&lt;/p&gt;
  19571.  
  19572.  
  19573.  
  19574. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If someone like CBS &amp;#8211; who have given me a four-year contract to cover Champions League for the USA &amp;#8211; show that sort of confidence in me then I can only assure you I will repay that faith by working bloody hard and trying to be as good as I can be.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  19611. &lt;p&gt;Alex Scott and Jermaine Jenas are two of the fresher faces for the BBC&amp;#8217;s sporting output.&lt;/p&gt;
  19612. &lt;p&gt;Then, it&amp;#8217;s the old guard of Gary Lineker and Mark Chapman who also command hefty fees for their Match of the Day programmes.&lt;/p&gt;
  19613. &lt;p&gt;SunSport has taken a look at how those big names rank and compiled a list of the top 10 highest earning stars that grace our TV screens.&lt;/p&gt;

  19677.  
  19678.  
  19679.  
  19680. &lt;p&gt;The sign, which gives directions to Santa&amp;#8217;s workshop, elf village, and reindeer stables, was originally priced at £6.99 but was reduced to just £2.99. &lt;/p&gt;
  19681.  
  19682.  
  19683.  
  19684. &lt;p&gt;However, stunned shoppers found that the sign, which read &amp;#8220;Welcome to the North Pole,&amp;#8221; was missing the &amp;#8216;e&amp;#8217; in &amp;#8220;the.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19685.  
  19686.  
  19687.  
  19688. &lt;p&gt;Now, shoppers have discovered another issue with a different &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; product. &lt;/p&gt;

  19693.  
  19694.  
  19695.  
  19696. &lt;p&gt;She posted a picture of them and wrote, &amp;#8220;Perfect for bedtime milk with Christmas jammies.&lt;/p&gt;
  19697.  
  19698.  
  19699.  
  19700. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And they look fab on my hot chocolate station.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19701.  
  19702.  
  19703.  
  19704. &lt;p&gt;The shopper bought one Santa Claus-themed bottle in red and another in a green elf theme but didn’t realise the mistake until eagle-eyed festive fans pointed it out. &lt;/p&gt;
  19705.  
  19706.  
  19707.  
  19708. &lt;p&gt;On the green bottle, it correctly reads: &amp;#8220;I’m on the &lt;span id=&quot;f7ff6ce7-caf7-4abf-a39a-f576f7717440&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; list.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  19709.  
  19710.  
  19711.  
  19712. &lt;p&gt;But on the red bottle, which is supposed to read &amp;#8220;Jingle all the way,&amp;#8221; it instead reads &amp;#8220;Jinlgle all the way.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19713.

  19716. &lt;p&gt;One &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; commenter wrote: &amp;#8220;You do know JINGLE is spelt incorrectly on the red Santa bottles.&lt;/p&gt;

  20013. &lt;p&gt;He was appointed vicar at St Mary the Virgin in Finedon, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/northamptonshire/&quot;&gt;Northamptonshire&lt;/a&gt;, in 2011 but decided to retire in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  20014. &lt;h2&gt;Life as a popstar&lt;/h2&gt;
  20015. &lt;p&gt;Richard found fame as a member of The Communards, which he formed in 1984 alongside his friend Jimmy Somerville.&lt;/p&gt;
  20016. &lt;p&gt;They formed the band in 1984 after Jimmy left Bronski Beat.&lt;/p&gt;
  20017. &lt;p&gt;Richard lived a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rock-music/&quot;&gt;rock &amp;#8216;n&amp;#8217; roll&lt;/a&gt; lifestyle and admitted to keeping a separate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4260627/reverend-richard-coles-stricty-come-dancing-the-communards/&quot;&gt;bank account purely to pay his drug dealer.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20018. &lt;p&gt;He said: “How much have I spent on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/a&gt; in my life?&lt;/p&gt;
  20019. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Well, more than a clergyman should.”&lt;/p&gt;
  20020. &lt;p&gt;After attending a mass at St Albans church in central London in 1990, he said he was &amp;#8220;suddenly inspired with a new found faith&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  20038. &lt;h2&gt;Heading to the jungle&lt;/h2&gt;
  20039. &lt;p&gt;The Sun exclusively revealed how Richard has signed up to take part in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31463407/im-a-celebrity-start-date-line-up/&quot;&gt;I&amp;#8217;m A Celebrity 2024&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20040. &lt;p&gt;He will be joining the show alongside Maura Higgins and the pair will be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31858597/im-a-celeb-jungle-junkyard-maura-higgins/&quot;&gt;staying in the Jungle Junkyard&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20041. &lt;p&gt;The Jungle Junkyard has been described as &amp;#8220;squalor&amp;#8221; and a source told MailOnline that Richard and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31861463/maura-higgins-im-a-celeb-jungle-hell/&quot;&gt;Maura&lt;/a&gt; are in for the &amp;#8220;shock of their lives&amp;#8221; when they see it.&lt;/p&gt;
  20042. &lt;h2&gt;Richard&amp;#8217;s surprising wealth&lt;/h2&gt;
  20043. &lt;p&gt;It was also revealed that Richard&amp;#8217;s music career and his appearances on TV shows including Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity MasterChef has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31837658/im-a-celebrity-reverend-richard-coles-millionaire/&quot;&gt;made him a very rich man&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20044. &lt;p&gt;His firm Mistramark Ltd reportedly made a £940,000 profit between 2022 and 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  20045. &lt;p&gt;The vicar has released several successful crime novels and a hit autobiography which have added a huge amount of money to his rather healthy nest egg.&lt;/p&gt;
  20046. &lt;h2&gt;Sad loss&lt;/h2&gt;
  20047. &lt;p&gt;Richard is an openly gay man who was in a long-term relationship with the late &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/10568169/who-rev-david-coles-richard-coles-partner-vicar/&quot;&gt;Rev David Coles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20048. &lt;p&gt;The couple were in a celibate, civil partnership and didn&amp;#8217;t have any children.&lt;/p&gt;
  20049. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, David died in 2019 and Richard didn&amp;#8217;t reveal his partner&amp;#8217;s cause of death until two years later.&lt;/p&gt;

  20185. &lt;p&gt;He talked about how it was &amp;#8220;tough&amp;#8221; to watch David &amp;#8220;destroy himself&amp;#8221; and said he did everything he could &amp;#8220;think of to help him&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  20187. &lt;h2&gt;New love&lt;/h2&gt;
  20188. &lt;p&gt;In June 2023, Richard revealed on ITV&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lorraine/&quot;&gt;Lorraine&lt;/a&gt; that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22509217/strictly-star-finds-love-again-after-tragic-death-partner/&quot;&gt;he has found love again&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20189. &lt;p&gt;His new partner is actor Richard Cant, son of the late actor and children’s TV presenter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3836386/brian-cant-dead-aged-83/&quot;&gt;Brian Cant&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20190. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about his new relationship, Richard told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23594363.reverend-richard-coles-life-sussex-politics-new-book/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;The Argus&lt;/a&gt;:“The big personal news is that I’ve met someone and am now in a relationship, which is lovely.&lt;/p&gt;
  20191. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We met just before Christmas – it was my first go on a dating app and it’s worked very well.&lt;/p&gt;
  20192. &lt;p&gt;“He’s lovely, he’s kind, funny, thoughtful, interesting – and he likes me.&lt;/p&gt;
  20193. &lt;p&gt;“If you’re dating in your golden years, you don’t exactly cut to the chase.&lt;/p&gt;
  20194. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You’re not looking for a roller-coaster – you tend to be looking for a smooth limousine so things are sort of steady and nice, which I like.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  20270.  
  20271.  
  20272.  
  20273. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about her many surgeries and touch-ups, she revealed: &amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;re going smaller in two weeks: they&amp;#8217;re too big. It&amp;#8217;s terrible isn&amp;#8217;t it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20274.  
  20275.  
  20276.  
  20277. &lt;p&gt;Touching on the subject of whether her multiple surgeries were due to mental &lt;span id=&quot;a99cd59a-d918-4395-9cf5-29adcc51e26c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt; issues, she admitted: &amp;#8220;I always said I haven&amp;#8217;t got body dysmorphia but there&amp;#8217;s definitely something, I don&amp;#8217;t know what it is&amp;#8230; &lt;/p&gt;
  20278.  
  20279.  
  20280.  
  20281. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve never looked in the mirror and thought I&amp;#8217;m pretty or whatever.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20282.

  20286.  
  20287.  
  20288.  
  20289. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s another thing I have to get to grasps with myself about the surgery thing. I don&amp;#8217;t know if it&amp;#8217;s body dysmorphia or what I&amp;#8217;m trying to gain out of it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20290.  
  20291.  
  20292.  
  20293. &lt;p&gt;The brunette bombshell continued: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m not afraid of getting old: I like getting old because you become wiser. But with the face and that I just think if there&amp;#8217;s something to tweak it&amp;#8217;s just easy to do.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  20294.  
  20295.  
  20296.  
  20297. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, Katie was spotted showing off her facelift while&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/30791502/katie-price-facelift-bikini-in-cyprus/&quot;&gt;on holiday in Cyprus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  20334.  
  20335.  
  20336.  
  20337. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And then when I was 18, I had them done so I‘ve always liked that look but I’ve never looked in the mirror and thought: ‘Oh, I’m pretty.'&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20338.  
  20339.

  20379. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2008&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup&lt;/p&gt;
  20380. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2011&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers&lt;/p&gt;
  20381. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2014/5&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed&lt;/p&gt;
  20382. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2016&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers&lt;/p&gt;
  20383. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2017&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; After a disastrous &amp;#8216;threading&amp;#8217; facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup&lt;/p&gt;
  20384. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2018&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift&lt;/p&gt;
  20385. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2019&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck&lt;/p&gt;
  20386. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2020&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers&lt;/p&gt;
  20387. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2021&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp; In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction&lt;/p&gt;
  20388. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes &amp;#8216;biggest ever&amp;#8217; boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total&lt;/p&gt;
  20389. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2023&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year&lt;/p&gt;
  20390. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2024 &amp;#8211;&lt;/strong&gt; Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection&lt;/p&gt;
  20391. &lt;/div&gt;

  20451.  
  20452.  
  20453.

  20455.  
  20456.  
  20457.  
  20458. &lt;p&gt;The 28-year-old was an associate lawyer specialising in technology and intellectual property at the London office of the American law firm Squire Patton Boggs.&lt;/p&gt;
  20459.  
  20460.

  20463.  
  20464.  
  20465.  
  20466. &lt;p&gt;According to her Facebook page, she had studied abroad at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands in 2017.&lt;/p&gt;

  20471.  
  20472.  
  20473.  
  20474. &lt;p&gt;In November 2024, Simone, along with other holidaymakers, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31856685/holiday-warning-killed-brit-hospital-fake-booze-poisoning-laos/&quot;&gt;were reportedly &amp;#8216;poisoned&amp;#8217; at the Nana Backpacker Hostel&lt;/a&gt; in the popular resort town of Vang Vieng in Laos.&lt;/p&gt;
  20475.  
  20476.  
  20477.  
  20478. &lt;p&gt;At least 11 people, including Brits, remain in hospital after allegedly being served laced drinks at a bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  20479.  
  20480.  
  20481.

  20483.  
  20484.  
  20485.  
  20486. &lt;p&gt;Simone&amp;#8217;s friend, Bethany Clarke, a healthcare worker also from Orpington, took to the Laos Backpacking Facebook group to warn other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/travellers/&quot;&gt;travellers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20487.  
  20488.  
  20489.  
  20490. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Urgent — please avoid all local spirits. Our group stayed in Vang Vieng and we drank free shots offered by one of the bars.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  20515.  
  20516.

  20527.

  20535.  
  20536.  
  20537.  
  20538. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The amount of methanol in her body was high, leading to swelling of the brain.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  20546. &lt;p&gt;Governments in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/australia/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt; and Britain have previously warned travellers to exercise caution with alcoholic drinks in Laos. &lt;/p&gt;
  20547.  
  20548.  
  20549.  
  20550. &lt;p&gt;Methanol, a toxic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alcohol/&quot;&gt;alcohol&lt;/a&gt; used industrially as a solvent, pesticide, and fuel source, can be deadly when consumed, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.&lt;/p&gt;

  20555.  
  20556.  
  20557.  
  20558. &lt;p&gt;He insisted the alcohol came from a certified distributor and had not been tampered with by staff.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  20559.  
  20560.  
  20561.  
  20562. &lt;p&gt;“Right now the police [are telling] every hostel and hotel and bar to stop selling drinks in Vang Vieng,&amp;#8221; Toan told the Associated Press.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  20563.  
  20564.  
  20565.  
  20566. &lt;p&gt;He added in an interview with the Australian broadcaster ABC: “The police in Vang Vieng and [the capital] Vientiane already came to the hostel to check, the shop [where] we buy the vodka, check the shop [where] we buy the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/whisky/&quot;&gt;whisky&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  20571.  
  20572.  
  20573.

  20580.  
  20581.  
  20582. &lt;p&gt;In response, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) issued an urgent &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/laos/safety-and-security&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;warning&lt;/a&gt; about counterfeit alcohol in the region. &lt;/p&gt;
  20583.  
  20584.  
  20585.  
  20586. &lt;p&gt;“Methanol has been used in the manufacture of counterfeit replicas of well-known alcohol brands or illegal local spirits, like vodka,&amp;#8221; the FCDO said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  20587.  
  20588.  
  20589.  
  20590. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You should take care if offered, particularly for free, or when buying spirit-based drinks. If labels, smell, or taste seem wrong then do not drink.”&lt;/p&gt;
  20591.  
  20592.  
  20593.  
  20594. &lt;p&gt;Travellers are advised to only purchase alcohol from licensed liquor stores, drink at licensed venues, and avoid homemade alcoholic beverages.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
