A tumour growing inside of Amanda Murphy caused a headache so severe that it drove her to stab herself in the head with a knife to try and relieve the pain. What is even more shocking is that surgeons found hair and teeth inside her tumour when they removed it from her right ovary. Amanda's ordeal started three days before Christmas when she went to work with a blistering headache. Amanda Murphy, from Rutherford in New South Wales, was struck down with a headache just before Christmas . A tumour found in ovary caused her to stab herself in the head and go into a psychosis. Amanda's (left) sister, Rachael (right), had to watch her sister go through the ordeal . As the day wore on and the pain did not go away, Amanda, from Rutherford in New South Wales, texted her sister - Rachael - who told her to go to the sick bay. When Rachael, 27, visited her later in the day, she became concerned when Amanda complained there was 'something in my head' and she needed to get it out. The 27-year-old told that's life! Amanda's forehead did look swollen so she took her to hospital, where doctors did some tests and found nothing wrong with her. They sent the sisters back home with painkillers for Amanda - who is a mine truck driver - to take. But her condition did not improve. The 28-year-old spent the next two days in an agitated state, with her boyfriend - Nathan - reporting she could not sleep. On Christmas Day, Rachael told Daily Mail Australia her father had left messages to say her sister had been re-admitted to hospital. It took specialists weeks to diagnose Amanda's condition, which caused her to experience mood swings . Amanda before the tumour took over her body and drove her to take up a knife and stab herself in the head to relieve the pressure of her headache . Frantically, she rushed to be at her sister's bedside but nothing prepared her for what she would see when she walked into Amanda's room. 'She had blood on top of her head, she was strapped to the bed and rocking back forth while they were trying to do the lumbar puncture,' Rachael said. The condition mostly affects young women who end up in being misdiagnosed and are admitted into psychiatric care or display behaviour so erratic they are kept in intensive care, according to the ABC. The tumour found on the ovary is named a teratoma, which could possibly have teeth, hair or brain tissue. This tricks the body's immune system into attacking the brain. Her father told Rachael that Amanda had tried to stab herself in the head with a knife. 'She was so distraught about the pressure on her head that she had tried sucking it out with a vacuum prior to doing it with a knife,' Rachael told Daily Mail Australia. The situation had escalated so much that the police had to be called to calm Amanda down before she was taken to

Ben Moynihan, 18, was found guilty of attempted murder after stabbing the three women then taunting police with two notes in which he boasted how he loved to smell his victims' flesh . A teenager who wrote notes to police asking them to catch him has been jailed for 21 years - for the attempted murder of three women he stabbed because he was unable to lose his virginity. Ben Moynihan, who is now 18, of Portsmouth, Hampshire, was found guilty by a jury at Winchester Crown Court of the three charges following a week-long trial. The judge, Mr Justice Jay, said Moynihan suffered from an autism spectrum disorder and had a 'gross lack of empathy'. Sentencing Moynihan, whom he described as 'dangerous', the judge told him: 'The offences were planned and premeditated. 'The contents of your computers were as chilling as they were disturbing.' The judge issued an extended licence of five years to be served on completion of the sentence and ordered the defendant to begin his prison term in a young offenders institution. He also ordered a £20 victim surcharge to be paid. The teenager, who was 17 at the time of the attacks, stabbed the three women, aged 20, 45 and 67, with a 4.5-inch kitchen knife, aiming for their hearts, as they walked alone in Portsmouth in June and July last year. To do so, he carried a steak knife on the streets of his home city up to ten times last summer before his arrest on July 13. When he was eventually caught, police body-worn footage revealed him saying: 'You was lucky, I was hunting my fourth victim.' And before carrying his crimes, he researched serial killers including Moors murderer Ian Brady, the Muswell Hill murderer Dennis Nilsen and American Jeffrey Dahmer. Kerry Maylin, prosecuting, said Moynihan, who called himself the 'unhappy geezer', left two letters for police confessing to his crimes in which he stated that 'all women need to die' and that he liked to smell the 'flesh he had ripped out'. The letter, left on a police van, said: 'All women needs to die and hopefully next time I can gouge their eyeballs out. 'Every time I stab someone I run home and I like to smell the flesh I ripped out. Come and arrest me for God sake before I hunt for my fourth victim.' In Moynihan's first letter to police (pictured) he labelled himself 'the unhappy geezer' and claimed to roam the streets 'hungry for blood and pain' His second letter was less cryptic - he attached a photo of himself which subsequently led to his arrest . At the bottom of the letter, Moynihan included a photograph of himself. He was arrested when police officers recognised him in the street from the picture and detained him. Another letter had a symbol from the Tomb Raider game on it. It said: 'When women won't talk to you it's heartbreaking, why are they fussy with men nowadays.' It continued: 'I roam these streets, hungry for blood and pain, I be greeted with

Summary: Ben Moynihan, 18, was found guilty of attempted murder of three women . Court heard how he stabbed them because he couldn't lose his virginity . He modelled himself on serial killers and sent boastful notes to police . Moynihan wrote: 'Hopefully next time I can gouge their eyeballs out. Every time I stab someone I run home and I like to smell the flesh I ripped out' But he was soon easily caught after adding a picture of himself to a note .

Manchester City and Montenegro forward Stevan Jovetic claims Russia were waiting for an excuse before their Euro 2016 qualifier was abandoned amid chaotic scenes on Friday. The Group G game in Podgorica was marred by trouble from the first minute when play was suspended for over half an hour after Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev was struck by a flare thrown from the stands. German referee Deniz Aytekin eventually abandoned the match after a missed second-half penalty by Russia's Roman Shirokov led to a mass brawl on the pitch while riot police struggled to contain supporters off it.

'I have problems finding words after this incident,' he told reporters. 'I just hope the fine won't be too harsh. 'However, it seems like the Russians waited for the smallest thing to happen so they can tell the referee.' Meanwhile, Montenegrin fans who keep causing trouble and forced Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Russia to be abandoned are 'barbarians', according to the general secretary of their FA. 'These fans sing "Montenegro we love you" but throw flares, insult rivals and cause all sorts of incidents every time they turn up and that's outright hypocrisy,' general secretary Momir Djurdjevac told reporters after the ugly scenes in the stadium.

The uncle of a boy killed by a school minibus who went door-to-door making a fake collection in his nephew's name, has avoided jail. Neil Stokes asked people for donation to go towards flowers for the funeral of 15-year-old Ashley Talbot. However, the teen's parents knew nothing of the £75 collection which was then pocketed by the 42-year-old recovering heroin addict. Stokes' own mother inadvertently reported him to the police after learning someone was knocking on doors asking for money - unaware the person was in fact her son. Neil Stokes, 42, pictured left, set up a fake collection after his nephew Ashley Talbot, 15, pictured right, was knocked down and killed by a minibus . The 42-year-old of Porthcawl, South Wales, later handed himself in the following day and initially told officers he needed to pay off a drugs debt. However, he later changed his story saying he wanted to keep the collection a surprise for his grieving sister. Following a trial at magistrates court, he was convicted of fraudulently making false representations. Stokes' nephew, Ashley died after he was accidentally hit by a minibus being driven by PE teacher, Chris Brooks, at Maesteg Comprehensive School, in Bridgend, just before Christmas. At the time his family described him as a 'typical teenager, a practical joker with a wicked infectious laugh'. They said: 'He would brighten the darkest of rooms with his smile and sense of humour. Ashley will be missed so much by everyone, but will be with us forever in our memories.' Stokes' had previous been warned that he could face jail - but magistrates' decided against custody after being told his sister had suffered enough already. Defending barrister David Sedgwick said: 'She is the victim in this....she has lost her son and now does not want to lose her brother to a jail sentence.' After being released from custody, the court heard Stokes gave the money to his sister and the money was spent on flowers for Ashley's funeral. Presiding magistrate Jane Thorpe said Stokes had acted dishonestly and had 'ample opportunity' to hand over the money sooner. Ashley's family described him as a 'typical teenager, a practical joker with a wicked infectious laugh.' Pictured: Ashley Talbot . He was handed a 12-month community order as well as being told to pay £250 costs towards the prosecution. Speaking after the sentencing hearing Ashley's mother, Melanie, described her brother's 'betrayal' as 'disgusting.' 'The last time I saw him was when his bail restrictions were relaxed,' said the 43-year-old. 'He came up to the house and said he wanted to apologise at Ashley's grave. 'So I took him to the grave and he placed some flowers and said nothing. 'At that point I told my husband I didn't want him around us again. Ashley was hit by a minibus in the grounds of Maesteg Comprehensive School, Bridgend . The devastated woman discovered what her brother had been doing through friends who had generously reached into their pockets. 'He is an idiot for doing what he did, I am absolutely disgusted that

The far right political party Britain First has told its supporters to vote Ukip and help deliver 'major gains' at the general election. In his party's newsletter, group leader Paul Golding said he would 'strongly urge our supporters to vote for UKIP as they have the best chance of making breakthroughs at the ballot box.' The endorsement from the extreme right group will come as an embarrassing blow to Nigel Farage who has been attempting to distance himself from the far right. Britain First leader Paul Golding has urged his supporters to back Ukip in the election and predicts that 2015 will be 'the year of Britain First and Ukip' Mr Golding said that he believed the election could trigger a swing to the right in British politics. 'Whatever happens in May, between UKIP and Britain First, this year could herald a resurgence of patriotic politics in Britain,' he added. But a Ukip spokesman told the Independent it was farcical that Britain First was supporting them. 'We're just not where they think we are,' he said. 'On the fringes of our politics are nutters and we don't want them anywhere near us.' Britain First has become renowned for its invasions on mosques and campaign against the alleged 'Islamification' of Britain. But Nigel Farage has previously attempted to distance himself from Britain First and other far rights parties across Europe . The party has told its supporters to ignore Ukip's attempts to distance themselves and said the party must play the 'political game.' In literature seen by the Independent, the party said its controversial activities 'in the Muslim ghettoes' will combine with 'major Ukip gains' to turn the election into a 'game changer'. Leaflets signed by Mr Golding predicted that 2015 would be 'the year of Britain First and Ukip' after the election. The election tactics echo those used for the Rochester by-election last year, when the party distributed leaflets which proclaimed: 'Ukip at the ballot box, Britain First on the streets – a winning combination.' The election went onto be won by former Conservative MP Mark Reckless, who defected to Ukip. Britain First was founded by former British National Party member Jim Dowson in 2011. It hit the headlines after invading mosques in Glasgow, Bradford, Luton and London with Bibles offered to Muslim worshippers. They were also seen driving military armoured cars up and down Brick Lane to no apparent purpose. Britain First's tactics , pictured here disrupting a Unite Against Fascism (UAF) anti-racism protest, have come under criticism in the past . Last year the group conducted 'Christian patrols' in parts of East London which the group claimed were a direct response to similar Muslim groups who, they said, wanted Sharia Law enforced in some boroughs. Britain First activists were seen outside mosques holding banners announcing: 'We are the British resistance.' The party, which received 20,000 votes in last year's European elections, wants 'assisted repatriation', a halt to further immigration, and the deportation of all asylum seekers. It also wants all foreign criminals to be deported without recourse to the law

Summary: Britain First has told its supporters to get behind Ukip in the coming election . Leader Paul Golding predicts 2015 will be 'the year of Britain First and Ukip' He also said the election could herald a swing to the right for British politics . Nigel Farage has previously attempted to distance himself from the party .

Customers of internet service provider iiNet say unlimited access to Netflix has slowed their internet connection since its launched in Australia last week. iiNet says on-demand streaming service Netflix now accounts for 15 per cent of its consumer traffic, thanks to a partnership that allows customers to watch as much Netflix content as they like without it counting towards their monthly data quota. But iiNet said any problems with internet connections were not being caused by the rise in Netflix users, instead blaming slow speeds on disruptions to the Telstra network, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. Scroll down for video . Customers of iiNet say unlimited access to Netflix has slowed their internet connection since the on-demand streaming service launched in Australia last week . Customers took to Twitter to express their frustration at slow internet speeds. 'Uggggh Internet has been unusable in the last few days. Yay for unmetered Netflix @iiNet but also thanks for the congestion,' one user wrote. Another posted: 'So #Netflix is 1/7 of iiNet's traffic. Helps explain why Internet slowness is even more s***ty than usual.' But iiNet chief David Buckingham said any slow speeds customers were experiencing were due to issues with Telstra's copper network. 'We are having countless mass service disruptions on the Telstra copper network right now, so it might be people caught up in those who are commenting,' Mr Buckingham told the Herald. Telsyte senior tech analyst Rodney Gedda said it was possible that the Netflix launch had hit iiNet's internet speeds. Netflix will stream season three of its original series Orange is the New Black when it premieres on June 12 . 'That sounds like a bit of buck passing by iiNet,' Mr Gedda told Daily Mail Australia. 'It is possible that iiNet is feeling the heat of the Netflix launch. 'Because it's a new service in the local market and has attracted a lot of publicity, the more people that subscribe puts more load on the network.' Telstra spokesman Steven Carey said the company could not comment on the performance of the iiNet network or any congestion it may be experiencing. 'iiNet is responsible for the end-to-end management of their network and iiNet customers need to contact them if they are experiencing problems,' Mr Carey told Daily Mail Australia. 'A "mass service disruption" refers to a fault on the copper line, not the kind of congestion on a network that it is being reported iiNet is experiencing.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted iiNet for comment. Netflix is the premiere home for season three of the political drama, House of Cards .

More than a dozen homes were raided on Tuesday in a crackdown on so-called 'maternity tourism' operators who arrange for pregnant Chinese women to give birth in the U.S., where their babies automatically become American citizens. The crackdown on three alleged maternity tourism rings may be the biggest yet by federal homeland security agents who say that, while pregnant women may travel to the U.S., they cannot lie about the purpose of their trip when applying for a visa. Birth tourism has been reported from a range of countries, but authorities say the most recent cases in California have catered to wealthy Chinese amid a boom in tourism from mainland China. It is unclear how many women travel to the United States for maternity tourism. Scroll down for video . Federal agents serve warrants and question several residents at the Pheasant Ridge Apartment complex in Rowland Heights, California, while investigating alleged 'birth tourism' centers on Tuesday . A woman appears shocked as she takes to a federal agent on Tuesday in what was described as one of the biggest ever raids on 'maternity tourism' in the U.S. A federal agent looks through a disposable diaper box while executing search warrants during the ongoing investigation into alleged birth tourism centers . Shortly after sunrise on Tuesday, federal agents swarmed an upscale apartment complex in the Orange County city of Irvine where authorities say a birth tourism business charged pregnant women $50,000 for lodging, food and transportation. According to the LA Times, during the raid pregnant women were seen opening doors to apartments, looking confused and then slamming them shut. One agent announced 'baby here' and then called over a colleague to go inside. Crying babies could be heard from several apartments, according to the LA Times. Investigators said women were coached to lie about their travel plans when applying for tourist visas and were promised they would receive Social Security numbers and U.S. passports for their babies before returning to China. In one instance, a trainer in China helped fabricate employment and income information for an undercover federal agent posing as a pregnant client to secure a tourist visa and encouraged her to fly through Hawaii, where customs officers were believed to be more lenient than in Los Angeles, according to a copy of an affidavit in support of a search warrant. The business netted its owners hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past two years and helped Chinese tourists deliver more than 400 American babies at Orange County hospitals, the court papers said. No arrests were made or charges filed. Investigators conducted the searches in Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, hoping to collect evidence of crimes tied to three separate maternity tourism operations, including visa and tax fraud, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.

England may face a West Indies side without Chris Gayle — expected to retire from international cricket after this World Cup — and many of their best players could take part in the Indian Premier League instead. England will therefore consider resting players because they have so much important cricket ahead of them, not least the establishing of what will have to be a new one-day side. Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad — prime candidates to be protected from burn-out — will both resist any attempts to force them to rest. National selector James Whitaker has spoken to Jonathan Trott (above) about a possible return to Test cricket . Anderson is four wickets away from overtaking Sir Ian Botham as England's leading Test wicket-taker and wants his family to join him for the first Test in Antigua in the hope he will reach the landmark there. Meanwhile, Moores on Sunday insisted he had no regrets about returning as England coach despite the huge pressure which comes with a poor showing at the World Cup. 'No regrets at all,' said Moores. 'I felt I could make a difference. We know we've been behind in the one-day format and have to get better.' Moores looks on as Stuart Broad bowls during his side's training session at St Peter's College in Adelaide .

England coach Peter Moores insists his relationship with Cook has not been damaged . England are gearing up for a do or die World Cup match with Bangladesh .


The Green Party is set to unveil its big weapon for the General Election campaign – a sultry, pouting, middle-aged ‘boyband’ comprising David Cameron, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage. The party, which is languishing at six per cent in the polls, is recruiting lookalikes to portray the four main party leaders in a cringe-inducing party political broadcast due to be screened next month. Strangely, the Greens are even hiring an actress to play their own leader, the gaffe-prone Natalie Bennett, and have put out a casting call for suitable candidates. Strategists stipulate that her doppelganger be in her late 30s to mid-40s – although Bennett is 49 –and be ‘like a schoolteacher, life experience under her belt. She must also be ‘the voice of reason, friendly, warm and approachable but has a message to get across’. The full excruciating details of what the Greens believe is ‘a fun, clever and refreshing idea’ is revealed in a leaked casting brief. Fake that: Our mock-up of (left to right) party leaders David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband and Nigel Farage as a boyband . It adds that four male party leaders’ lookalikes ‘should be unnaturally intense, emotional and passionate – like a boyband. Loads of smouldering stares, deep thinking and soulful singing. Thick lashings of powerful slow motion movements and pensive gazes will help intensify the drama. ‘They may be leaders of different parties, but they seem to know the same lyrics to the same song and be in perfect harmony. I like the idea that as the song builds and climaxes, they are literally finishing off each others sentences… That is how ridiculously in harmony they are. ‘Above all, they should all look incredibly pleased with themselves. It will be amusing to have disgruntled reaction shots of the other leaders at the end as the Green Party’s common sense message is delivered.’ On the lookalikes, it adds: ‘It would be great if the leaders were slightly better looking, more buff and hunkier than the actual leaders in real life. Kind of how they see themselves inside their own minds. But this is not a priority. First and foremost they need to register as politicians.’ Less kind critics might suggest that the Greens need to register as politicians themselves. Some of the cringe-inducing lyrics of the Green Party’s song spoof . It’s sweeter when we agree, a party political harmony (Oh baby) Lose your voting inhibitions, join the one true coalition (ohh-ahh-lii-shuuuuun) Let’s frack this green and pleasant land. Come on Eddie, join the band . The public won’t know what to do, if they have to pick from me and you-uuuu . The choice between us couldn’t be clearer. Oxford! Cambridge! Diversity for ya .

Escaped jail: Eva Jaciskova, pictured in Ugg-style boots outside court today, stole £7,000 worth of shoes while working at Russell and Bromley . A shop assistant stole more than £7,000 of shoes by walking home in a new pair every day. Russell and Bromley worker Eva Jaciskova slipped on a pair of designer shoes at the end of each shift at the Oxford Street store without anyone noticing. Once home, Jaciskova would put the shoes up for sale on eBay, Southwark Crown Court heard. The mother-of-two, who was yesterday spared a jail sentence, walked off with £7,363-worth of shoes before staff noticed a large amount of the shop’s stock was advertised on eBay. Jaciskova, 37, who lives in High Wycombe, was then hauled into a meeting and initially denied stealing 26 pairs of shoes, before later admitting to her crime. Sitting in the dock wearing a pair of tatty, black Ugg-style boots, she wept as details of her theft were read to the court. Jaciskova had earlier pleaded guilty to one count of theft at a magistrate’s court in February. Yesterday, prosecutor Peter Zinner said: ‘This is a breach of trust case. The defendant was an employee of Russell and Bromley in Oxford Street and she was employed by the store as a sales assistant. ‘It transpired in June last year that significant amounts of Russell and Bromley stock had found their way for sale on an eBay account. 'In particular seven pairs of shoes and this is the initial tranche of shoes the defendant stole.’ Jaciskova, originally from Presov, Slovakia, stole shoes from the brand’s Diva, Laura and Skater ranges – with some pairs worth up to £400 each. Mr Zinner said: ‘She admitted what she had done was take the shoes out of the boxes from the stock room over a period of weeks, worn them home and then placed them on eBay to sell. There was an element of pre-planning and deviousness because the defendant left empty boxes in the right place in the stock room.’ Jaciskova initially avoided prosecution by agreeing to hand in her resignation the day she was accused of the theft. ‘However the staff were concerned that in fact that was just the tip of the iceberg because a significant number of shoes had gone missing from the stock room and a further 19 pairs of shoes were discovered having been stolen,’ Mr Zinner added. Serial thief: After stealing the designer footwear from Russell & Bromley, above, the mother would then sell them on eBay . ‘Because the defendant had not volunteered the extent of her criminality and the second tranche significantly increased the loss to the company it was reported to the police and on November 24 last year the defendant attended High Wycombe police station.’ Robert Conway, representing Jaciskova, said his client was ‘truly ashamed and regretful’. He added that she suffered a ‘medical condition’ that she was now getting treatment for. Judge Michael Grieve acknowledged she stole because she had been in financial difficulty, so instead of jail sentenced her to a

Summary: Eva Jaciskova, 37, worked at Russell and Bromley store on Oxford Street . Slovakian mother stole 26 pairs of designer shoes before selling on eBay . Staff became wary over missing stock and suspicious eBay account . Jaciskova, of Buckinghamshire, eventually admitted crime but escaped jail .


Scotland defender Gordon Greer has moved to dampen down expectations ahead of the European Championships qualifier against Gibraltar at Hampden Park on Sunday. UEFA's newest member are bottom of Group D after four matches with no points and have shipped 21 goals including seven in the matches against Poland and Republic of Ireland, without getting off the mark themselves. The Brighton player, however, tried to allay any assumptions of a goal fest and believes patience could be key. Brighton defender Gordon Greer has warned against complacency ahead of Scotland's game with Gibratlar . The Scotland squad train ahead of their Euro 2016 qualifier with bottom placed Gibratlar on Sunday . He said: 'I think the pressure that is on us now is to break them down and score the goals because other teams have done that but ultimately it is all about just winning the game. 'Obviously, if you score a lot of goals in front of your home fans and everything is great then it is a perfect afternoon. 'But these players are no mugs and for me it is all about winning the game and moving on. 'It will be a difficult game and difficult to break them down and we are preparing as best we can. Gordon Strachan's side face a team that is yet to win in four attempts in Group D . 'The squad has watched bits and pieces on video. 'Obviously they were playing against some good opposition. They put men behind the ball in the Germany game, the same against Ireland and Poland, so I think it will be much the same on Sunday. 'You have 90 plus minutes in a game so at the end of the day when the final whistle goes you just want to have three points and hopefully the team puts on a good performance.' Substitute Cristophe Berra (left) scored the winner with a late header in the 1-0 defeat of Northern Ireland . Gordon Strachan's side go into the game on the back of a 1-0 friendly win over Northern Ireland at Hampden on Wednesday night where it took an 85th minute header by substitute Christophe Berra to separate the teams. Greer believes playing against such a stuffy side as the Irish were on the night was ideal preparation for a much more important game. 'The game the other night was a good test for us going in to the Gibraltar game,' he said. 'At times we struggled to break them down in the final third but we will do our best to break Gibraltar down as early as possible.'

Summary: Scotland face Gibraltar in Euro 2016 Group D qualifier on Sunday . Brighton defender Gordon Greer has warned not to assume a goal fest . Gordon Strachan's side defeated Northern Ireland 1-0 on Wednesday .


Bernie Ecclestone is considering a women’s Formula One championship to give fans extra value for money during grand prix weekends. Ecclestone, the sport’s chief executive, floated the idea at a meeting with team bosses before Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix. If he manages to get his way, the likes of Williams test driver Susie Wolff, her counterpart at Lotus Carmen Jorda, IndyCar’s Danica Patrick and emerging British talent Alice Powell could all be handed drives. Bernie Ecclestone floated the idea at a meeting with team bosses before Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix . ‘I thought it would be a good idea to give them a showcase,’ said Ecclestone. ‘For some reason, women are not coming through — and not because we don’t want them. Of course we do, because they would attract a lot of attention and publicity and probably a lot of sponsors. ‘We have to start somewhere so I suggested to the teams that we have a separate championship and maybe that way we will be able to bring someone through to F1. They could race before the main event or perhaps on the Saturday qualifying day. ‘It is only a thought at the moment but I think it would be super for Formula One and the whole grand prix weekend.’ The likes of Williams test driver Susie Wolff could feature in Ecclestone's proposed women-only race . Lella Lombardi was the last woman to start a Formula One race, in 1976, and the only one to score points. Ecclestone’s support for a female series comes 15 years after he controversially joked that women should dress in white like all domestic appliances. Lotus F1 development driver Carmen Jorda is another driver who could feature in the proposed move .

The Premier League, the world’s richest competition, will share £1billion over three years with the rest of English football. The size of the hand-outs, which amounts to £50million per club, will go to five specific areas of the game. The deal is said to be unprecedented in global sport and amounts to an increase in excess of 40 per cent over the previous redistribution figure. The numbers were unanimously agreed at Thursday's summit of Premier League clubs — the first meeting since the £5billion domestic TV rights deal. Sharing the bonanza so quickly will go some way to countering the Premier League’s ‘greed is good’ image. Premier League CEO Richard Scudamore says the top flight is 'sharing in the success of English football' Premier League clubs agreed on Thursday to make a £1bn contribution to the rest of English football . Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: ‘You can’t find me another sport that is committed to this level of sharing. You can use other fancy words like redistribution but this is sharing. It’s sharing in the success of English football.’ The targeted investments are in grass-roots facilities, participation, fan engagement, solidarity payments to the lower leagues and supporting disadvantaged groups. They include all clubs committing to adopting the living wage (£9.15 per hour in London and £7.85 outside London) for full-time employees by the start of the 2016-17 season. The clubs voted in favour despite being told that title sponsors Barclays will not be renewing their endorsement when their current contract expires at the end of next season. But the loss of that £120m deal — sure to be replaced at a higher price — didn’t stop clubs committing £50m each to the PL’s good causes. Ironically, around 50 fans were demonstrating outside the meeting in Piccadilly, London about the Premier league re-distributing their wealth. The only caveat is the result of the current Ofcom investigation into how the TV rights are sold and the monies raised from the international rights sales. Scudamore, who will become executive chairman in June, said: ‘These are unprecedented levels of redistribution in world sport, let alone football, which will deliver long-term progress for English football whether you are a fan, lower league club or involved in the grassroots. The summit meeting is the first since the new record £5bn TV rights deal was secured by the league . BT Sport and Sky Sports (above) took their share of Premier League fixtures in the bumper new deal . ‘I don’t think our clubs have ever made such an early stamp in the ground that says we are committed to what we’ve always done but actually extending and growing. ‘I’ve never seen them unanimously want to say “We want to make a statement. It’s a big statement to give away £1billion of our UK TV deal”. ‘We’ve had commercial success and we are going to share that success and we’ve done this at very short notice. Rarely do we get things through as quickly as this. ‘I do hope over time people will appreciate what we

Summary: Premier League to share massive portion of £5billion TV rights income . Clubs committed £50million each to the PL's good causes at summit . Premier League CEO Richard Scudamore called move 'unprecedented' Scudamore said: 'It's sharing in the success of English football' Targeted investments include grass-roots facilities, participation, fan engagement, the lower leagues and disadvantaged groups .

Two newly-wed brothers in Pakistan are spending their first weeks of married life behind bars after police arrested them on terrorism charges for letting off firecrackers during their joint wedding ceremony. Officers in Karachi said the grooms went 'too far' during the celebrations, and have charged the brothers and three other people under the explosive provisions of anti-terrorism legislation. If found guilty they could face long prison sentences, or even the death penalty. The brothers set off firecrackers, like the ones pictured, during their wedding ceremony in Karachi, Pakistan, but now face spending their married life behind bars after being charged with terrorism offences . Setting off fireworks and firing weapons into the air is a longstanding custom at Pakistani weddings, but police officer Abbas Golarchi said the wedding party's celebrations scared the community living nearby. He told agency AFP: 'Very powerful crackers were being used during the marriage ceremony creating fear among the neighbourhood, a densely populated area of the city.' The five arrested are in police custody awaiting a remand hearing which is due to take place on Wednesday. A sentence of the death penalty is unlikely, it is thought, before no-one was harmed during the joint wedding celebration. It is customary at Pakistani weddings to set off firecrackers and fireworks, and human rights campaigners have accused the police and judiciary of using anti-terrorism legislation in cases not related to militancy . Human rights campaigners say Pakistan's anti-terrorism legislation and anti-terrorism courts are frequently misused to prosecute cases that have nothing to do with militancy. In their World Report 2015, Human Rights Watch criticised the passing of the Protection of Pakistan Act by the country's government, denouncing it as 'overly broad' counter-terrorism legislation that violates international human rights standards and allows security forces to act without accountability. More generally, Pakistani police are often criticised for their heavy-handed approach. In April last year, police in the eastern city of Lahore booked a nine-month-old boy on an attempted murder charge after his family members allegedly threw bricks at officers trying to collect an unpaid bill. At least 40 people were killed in 2005 after firecrackers exploded on a bus carrying wedding guests back from a ceremony in Lahore, eastern Pakistan, according to a BBC report.

Hristo Stoichkov has lambasted Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal by insisting the Dutchman is 'garbage'. Stoichkov played under Van Gaal during his second spell at the Nou Camp before leaving the Spanish outfit for CSKA Sofia in 1998. Bulgarian legend Stoichkov was far from impressed with Van Gaal and has blamed the Manchester United boss for his premature departure from the Catalan giants. Former Barcelona forward Hristo Stoichkov, pictured in 1997, has blasted Man United boss Louis van Gaal . Stoichkov (left) played under Van Gaal (right) during his second spell at Barcelona in the Nineties . Stoichkov, speaking to Sport Sunday, said: 'I have no respect for him, he’s garbage. 'One day, when I was injured and I was with my wife at the Nou Camp. He went up to her and asked "how was possible that she married someone like me?" 'It was the fault of Van Gaal that I moved on to CSKA Sofia.' In contrast, Stoichkov - who played a major role in helping Barcelona to four consecutive league titles during his first spell at the club - had nothing but good words to say about Van Gaal's former assistant Jose Mourinho. He added: '[I] do not think that Mourinho was a simple interpreter or assistant. He was already a coach, but he never thought he was worth more than [Bobby] Robson. 'Mourinho understood everything. He knew everything about our team, and our opponents.' Stoichkov heaped praise on former Barcelona assistant Jose Mourinho (right, pictured with Van Gaal in 1999) Mourinho and Van Gaal embrace during Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Chelsea in October .

A devoted husband who complained about his dying wife's care was mistakenly investigated for attempted murder after an NHS call-handler misunderstood his comments. John Histon called the health service after allegedly being told by a paramedic that call-outs to his wife Betty were 'becoming costly'. Mr Histon said he told the 111 operator: 'I suppose it is best to get her to suffocate and she won't be a problem to you.' The 70-year-old was then horrified when police turned up on his door 24 hours later saying ambulance trust staff reported he was threatening to kill his wife. A paramedic is said to have moaned that call-outs to terminally ill Betty Histon were 'becoming costly'. When her husband complained to the NHS he was investigated for attempted murder over comments he made . After searching his home in Bristol and finding Mrs Histon - who had chronic lung conditions - asleep in bed, they dropped the investigation and the NHS has since apologised. Mr Histon, who has since lost his wife to long-standing lung problems, said his and her treatment in her final days was 'shocking'. The retired decorator from Bristol said: 'When they turned up on the door they asked me "do you know why we are here?", I assumed there had been a break-in in the area. 'They said they had an allegation that I have tried to smother my wife - I thought it was a hoax. I was shocked and nearly hit the floor. 'I never deserted her and cared for her right to the very end so it was very distressing to be accused and I was very angry.' Former auxiliary nurse Mrs Histon had a lung condition and her concerned husband called for paramedics on December 15 when she was struggling to breathe. He claims the paramedics who attended said the call-outs to the grandmother were 'becoming a costly exercise'. Mr Histon said: 'The young female paramedic said "what do you expect, there is no point in admitting her to hospital, there is nothing we can do for her". 'She was quite cocky about it and she said looking at the notes it looks like they had been called out quite frequently and it was becoming "a costly exercise".' Mr Histon called the NHS 111 service - who work with the ambulance service - the next day to lodge a complaint. An ambulance was called to Mrs Histon's suburban street (pictured) in Bristol by her husband. Police arrived the following day after an NHS call handler misunderstood comments he made over the phone . 'I said to the operator I suppose it is best to get her to suffocate and she won't be a problem to you again to try and emphasise how upsetting it was to be told we were some kind of burden to them,' he said. 'I thought nothing of it until the next evening I got a knock on the door from the police. 'They said they had received an allegation I had tried to smother my wife. They said it was

Harry Arter had only to turn to his brother-in-law for advice as he prepared to embark upon his senior international career with the Republic of Ireland. The Bournemouth midfielder arrived at the Republic's Portmarnock base on Monday to meet up with Martin O'Neill's squad for the first time ahead of Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Poland, but he did so having quizzed Fulham's former England international Scott Parker about life on the big stage. Parker is married to Arter's sister, Carly, and sent the 25-year-old on his way telling him just to do what he has been doing for the Cherries this season to help leave them within striking distance of the Barclays Premier League. Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter (left) holds off the challenge of Middlesbrough's Lee Tomlin on Saturday . Asked what the former Charlton, Chelsea, Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham midfielder's advice had been, Arter said: 'Just 'be yourself', really, I think that's all you can do. 'You have been picked for a reason and I have been picked because the manager was impressed with the way I play, so if I come here any different and not confident, then I would not show the best of my ability. 'He just said, 'be yourself, that's what you are picked for'. 'I'm pleased with my form. I am part of a team that's top of the league and things are going well. My main goal when I play is to be a positive influence on the team and try to be part of a successful team, and at the moment, we are so all in all, good.' Arter celebrates scoring his side's second goal during Bournemouth's 3-0 win against Boro on Saturday . Arter, who qualifies for the Republic through his grandmother, has fought his way back in his career after having to prove himself all over again in non-league football with Woking after being released by Charlton. However, he never lost belief in his own ability and has worked his way back to where he believes he belongs, ready to make his mark in international football and hopefully, in the Premier League. He said: 'I was playing non-league and international football is far from that. I was obviously only a young boy then. My main focus then was just to work as hard as I could to get back to a level I thought I could play at. 'I am confident in my own ability and the level I feel I am capable of playing at. The key to that is just working hard and not resting on your laurels. 'From the age of 19 up until now, I haven't done that.' Scott Parker told his brother-in-law Arter to 'be yourself, that's what you are picked for' O'Neill has been to see the player, who has represented Ireland at Under-17 and Under- 19 level, on several occasions this season, but did not inform him of his impending elevation. Arter said: 'I didn't realise. It was a Thursday and I was just in the gym, and one of the lads just

England forward Danny Welbeck is set for a 'great future' at Arsenal, but manager Arsene Wenger warned all his players their first duty is to serve the club - whether that is on the pitch or on the bench. Welbeck joined the Gunners on transfer deadline day from Manchester United, where he had become frustrated at a lack of opportunities in his preferred central striker role. Since the return to fitness and form of Olivier Giroud, who spent four months out with a broken leg, the 24-year-old has found himself deployed on the flank of a front three along with Alexis Sanchez, rather than down the middle. Danny Welbeck joined Arsenal from Manchester United last summer after growing frustrated at bit-part role . The striker was left on the bench for Wednesday's Premier League match against QPR . Welbeck was a late substitute for both of the previous two Barclays Premier League matches, but could face his former club in Monday night's FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford. Wenger is convinced Welbeck, who has seven Arsenal goals, can play a big part in the future of the team, but like everyone else has to earn their place in the starting XI. 'Danny Welbeck puts big team effort in, he plays very well for me and is an exceptional player who will have a great future here,' said Wenger, who confirmed centre-back Gabriel Paulista was set for 'two to three weeks' out with a hamstring injury suffered in the midweek Barclays Premier League win over QPR at Loftus Road. 'The subject is raised because he is a former Man United player, (but) I am very, very happy that I bought him.' Wenger continued: 'Welbeck is very important and has played many, many games since the start of the season. The England international was also absent from the starting line-up against Everton last Sunday . Arsene Wenger says Welbeck has a bright future at Arsenal but faces a lot of competition . 'His position is one of the three up front, central, left or right. He can play anywhere.' England forward Theo Walcott is another who has watched on from the bench in recent weeks, as Wenger finally enjoys the luxury of strength in depth. The Arsenal boss added: 'We have a lot of competition going on in the team, especially up front - we have plenty of offensive potential. It makes every decision more difficult. 'People always raise these kind of questions when (either) you do not have enough players, or when you do have enough players. '(However), we have chosen a job where competition is part of our job. That means we can't complain about that, because we have made that choice. 'Our job is to serve the club and to compete with other people to do as well as we can to serve the club. The 24-year-old could return to the side for Monday night's FA Cup clash against former side United . Wenger confirmed he will be without defender Gabriel for up to three weeks due to a hamstring injury

Summary: Danny Welbeck joined Arsenal from Manchester United last summer . Striker has had to make do with substitute appearances in recent games . Arsene Wenger insists the England forward has a bright future at the club . Arsenal have a lot of competition particularly in the forward area .


The number of drivers hauled before the courts for using their mobiles at the wheel has plummeted by nearly half. Despite alarming evidence that growing numbers of motorists are committing the offence, the number of prosecutions has fallen by some 16,000 over three years. In one area, Greater Manchester, the fall has been even more sharp, and is down by 80 per cent. Official figures also showed worrying falls in the number of court cases brought against other driving offences, including those for drink drive offences, and dangerous driving. That is despite evidence deaths occuring as a result are on the rise. The number of drivers hauled before the courts for using mobile phone at the wheel has plummeted by nearly half. Stock photo . The figures were compiled by Labour, which warned that reckless drivers were ‘getting away with it’ and blamed cuts to the police front line. Shadow roads minister Richard Burden said: ‘Road users have had enough of reckless drivers getting away with it. ‘Under the Conservative-led Government progress on road safety is slowing while more and more drivers go unpunished for dangerous and drink driving. ‘The hands-off approach to enforcement is not working. Crashes from mobile phone use are on the rise but thousands fewer drivers are being punished for this deadly offence.’ The research follows calls from Britain’s top traffic officer for drivers caught using their mobiles at the wheel to be banned. Gloucester chief constable Suzette Davenport said the rise in offending meant tougher punishments were needed, and accused ministers of failing to act for fear of offending voters. An estimated 500,000 motorists break the law every day but ordinarily using a hand-held mobile at the wheel usually attracts only a £100 fine with three penalty points. Figures also showed worrying falls in the number of court cases brought against other driving offences, including those for drink drive offences. Stock photo . The new data shows police are using formal powers to prosecute much less often. Across England and Wales, the number of prosecutions for using a mobile at the wheel fell from 35,255 to 19,650 between 2013 and 2011. That is a fall of 15,605, or 44 per cent. In Greater Manchester, the number of prosecutions fell from nearly 2,000 in 2010 to just 329 in 2013. Falls of more than 60 per cent were seen in the Cumbria, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, West Midlands, Warwickshire and Kent police areas. Research has suggested using a mobile slows reactions more than cannabis or alcohol use. Drivers’ reactions fell by half while holding their phone and on a call, more than a third when texting and by a quarter during a hands-free call. The number of crashes attributed to mobile phone use has grown by 12 per cent, from 378 in 2012 to 422 last year. The alternative to a formal prosecution is a fixed penalty notice, but the number of these handed out is also down by 26 per cent. Drink drive deaths rose by one fifth from 2011-12 and while the numbers prosecuted for drink driving

Summary: The number of prosecutions has fallen by some 16,000 over three years . In Greater Manchester, fall has been even more sharp, and is down by 80% . Official figures also showed worrying falls in the number of court cases brought against other driving offences, including drink driving . That is despite evidence deaths occuring as a result are on the rise .

A couple falsely claimed £90,000 in benefits to fund their dream wedding in Cuba which took place while they were on bail for previous fraud. Tracey Dougherty, 38, and Stephen Turner, 60, claimed tens of thousands of pounds together over a period of 15 years. Dougherty told officials she was a single mother of four to claim income support, housing benefit and council tax benefit while Turner claimed out-of-work benefits despite being a self-employed driving instructor. Tracey Dougherty and Stephen Turner conned officials out of almost £90,000 in benefits that was used in part to fund their lavish Cuba wedding . The couple's deception was discovered when police searching their Wigan home found wedding invitations on which Ms Dougherty boasted about paying for guests' flights. She was jailed for eight months while her husband was ordered to repay more than £2,000 following a trial at Liverpool Crown Court. The court heard how Dougherty had been claiming taxpayer's money on the premise that she was a single parent since 2000. She had in fact moved in with Turner who was also given government money as his mother's carer for a spell. Alone the woman claimed more than £84,000 over 12 years, all the while living with her partner. In August 2013 the couple were arrested when officials suspected they had been committing benefit fraud. The couple flew 20 guests to the exotic destination for their 2013 nuptials after being bailed for fraud . Ms Dougherty claimed benefits for a single parent despite living with her partner and her four children for 12 years . The following month, after denying living together, they married in the exotic setting while on bail, the conditions of which did not prevent them from travelling abroad. They both pleaded guilty to falsely claiming benefits at Liverpool Crown Court. Council bosses have slammed their behaviour since. Councillor Paul Kenny said: 'This couple lived a lavish lifestyle at the expense of the local taxpayer. 'At a time when people are struggling to make ends meet, this kind of behaviour will no doubt frustrate those footing the bill. 'Benefits are there for people who need them, not for those who want to subsidise their income and pay for expensive holidays.' The couple appeared before Liverpool Crown Court where they admitted benefit fraud. Dougherty was jailed for eight months while her husband must repay more than £2,000 .

Military security experts have successfully managed to stop a truck in its tracks by destroying its engine with a laser. The 30-kilowatt fibre laser called Athena burnt through the manifold in seconds, despite being fired by a team from Lockheed Martin positioned more than a mile away. The security firm said the test signifies the next step to fitting lightweight laser weapons on military aircraft, helicopters, ships and trucks. Scroll down for video . The laser, known as Athena, was built by Maryland-based security firm Lockheed Martin. During the test, the 30-kilowattfibre laser burnt through the truck’s engine (pictured) and disabled it from more a mile away . The demonstration was the first field testing of Lockheed’s integrated 30-kilowatt, single-mode fibre laser weapon system prototype. ‘Fiber-optic lasers are revolutionising directed energy systems,’ said Keoki Jackson, Lockheed Martin chief technology officer. ‘We are investing in every component of the system - from the optics and beam control to the laser itself - to drive size, weight and power efficiencies. Athena is based on the firm’s Area Defense Anti-Munitions (ADAM) laser weapon system. In tests off the California coast in May, Adam was used to successfully disable two boats at a range of approximately one mile (1.6km). The high-energy laser burnt through multiple compartments of the rubber hull of the military-grade small boats in less than 30 seconds. Lockheed Martin previously demonstrated the system’s capabilities on airborne targets in flight, including small-calibre rocket targets and an unmanned aerial system target. The system can precisely track moving targets at a range of more than 3.1 miles (5km). ‘This test represents the next step to providing lightweight and rugged laser weapon systems for military aircraft, helicopters, ships and trucks.’ By using a technique known as spectral beam combining, the system blends multiple laser modules to create a single, powerful, high-quality beam. This is said to provide greater ‘efficiency and lethality’ than multiple individual 10-kilowatt lasers used in other systems. Athena is based on the firm’s Area Defense Anti-Munitions (Adam) laser weapon system. In tests off the California coast in May, Adam was used to successfully disable two boats at a range of approximately one mile (1.6km).

David Cameron kicked off the Tory Election campaign yesterday with an intensely personal attack on Ed Miliband and his ‘hopeless, sneering socialists’. The Prime Minister made a direct assault on the Labour leader’s background, calling it the ‘same old condescending, bossy, interfering, we-know-best attitude of the Hampstead socialist down the ages’. Mr Cameron’s withering reference to the North London borough associated with ‘champagne socialists’ comes after Mr Miliband was ridiculed last year for claiming in his party conference speech to have met ordinary voters on Hampstead Heath, a short walk from his £2.6million home. Scroll down for video . Attack: Mr Cameron said it was ‘same old condescending, bossy, interfering, we-know-best attitude of the Hampstead socialist down the ages’ With just 40 days until the tightest Election for a generation, Mr Cameron used his first address of the campaign to unveil the party’s slogan – ‘We are with you’. He told supporters at his party’s spring forum in Manchester that the Conservatives were ‘the real party of aspiration, of working people – the party that is with you, not against you is not that bunch of hypocritical, holier-than-thou, hopeless, sneering socialists’. He defended his approach, declaring: ‘Some might say, “Don’t make this personal,” but when it comes to who’s Prime Minister, the personal is national.’ Withering: Prime Minister claimed 'I know what this role needs – and I don’t think Ed Miliband has it' He added: ‘I know what this role needs – and frankly, I don’t think Ed Miliband has it’, warning voters Mr Miliband would ‘be the one taking the make-or-break calls in the middle of the night’. Speaking at the ITV studios where Coronation Street was filmed, Mr Cameron also compared Mr Miliband unfavourably to his predecessors, saying Labour was ‘not the party of Clement Attlee, who built the NHS... not the party of Wilson and his ‘white heat of technology’... not even the party of John Smith, who believed so passionately in the dignity of work.’ Instead, he said, they ‘were the party whose new Jerusalem is a load of dead-end lives and poverty handed down through the generations’. Chancellor George Osborne also mocked Mr Miliband, who, when asked last week by Jeremy Paxman whether he was tough enough to be PM, replied, ‘Hell, yes.’ Osborne painted a picture of life under a Labour Government, describing it as: ‘Hell – yes, indeed.’ Mr Cameron also used the speech to promise that a future Tory Government would turn the NHS into a true seven-day service, with more hospitals providing top-level treatment at the weekend.

Summary: Mr Cameron began campaign with assault on Mr Miliband's background . Made withering reference to borough linked with 'Champagne socialists' Claimed Tories are ‘the real party of aspiration' and 'of working people' Mr Cameron said 'I know what this role needs – and I don’t think Ed has it'


Two New Jersey drug addicts who were arrested last year after the woman's baby nearly died after eating heroin have avoided prison time. Mark Tomat, 26, this week admitted to a judge that he and his girlfriend Tara Bradbury, 23, took heroin at her home in Wyckoff on Valentine's Day 2014. Last month, Bradbury - who comes from an upper-middle class New Jersey community - gave birth to a second child while she was being treated at an intensive program - to ensure she didn't take any more drugs to harm her unborn son. Mark Tomat, 26, admitted to a judge that he and his girlfriend Tara Bradbury, 23, took heroin at her home in Wyckoff last February. Bradbury's nine-month-old baby accidentally ingested the drug . Tomat said he left the narcotic lying around the house and learned Bradbury's baby had ingested the drug about an hour after he left that night. Police found text messages between the two in which they talked about a plan to deny that they knew the baby had eaten heroin - so as not to incriminate themselves. Paramedics responding to a 911 call found the infant unresponsive and with a bruised forehead. The baby recovered after it was administered Narcan, an antidote for heroin overdose. Bradbury, who is from the upper-middle-class community Indian Hills, was sentenced to drug court, which means she will be provided with ongoing treatment in an intensely supervised drug treatment program. On February 27 she delivered the couple's first child together - her second. Bradbury voluntarily entered Bergen County Jail earlier that month so that she could receive proper medical attention in the weeks leading up to her due date, according to her attorney Joseph Rem. Bradbury, pictured here in 2013, was sentenced to drug court,which means she will be provided with ongoing treatment while being supervised and randomly drug tested. She recently delivered her first child with Tomat . Bradbury, pictured in 2013, voluntarily entered Bergen County Jail earlier that month so that she could receive proper medical attention in the weeks leading up to her due date . Her stay would also protect Bradbury from doing anything that could potentially hurt the fetus, Rem told the Cliffview Pilot. Tomat will be sentenced to probation in exchange for his plea. His attorney Warren Sutnick said Tomat has made 'enormous strides' since the incident and that he believes his client will be 'very successful'. When Wyckoff Police Department officers searched Bradbury's home last year, they discovered Suboxone, which is used to treat narcotic addiction, and other drug paraphernalia, according to prosecutor John L. Molinelli. Molinelli said investigators also found deleted text messages from Bradbury and Tomat's cell phones in which the couple allegedly planned to deny that they knew the baby had ingested heroin. The infant is now in the care of relatives. Bradbury's attorney said her stay would also protect Bradbury from doing anything that could potentially hurt the fetus .

But today, as Zayn Malik is signed off the One Direction tour due to 'stress', many are beginning to question whether fame is beginning to take its toll on the singer. Indeed, there are some critics who suggest the 22-year-old - who arrived at Heathrow airport early today - may be looking to make an exit from the group for good. Scroll down for video . Zayn Malik has sparked concerns after he was signed off the X Factor tour for stress following the release of pictures of him holding hands with a woman who was not his fiance Perrie Edwards . The catalyst for Zayn's departure from the Asia leg of 1D's On The Road tour was a series of photographs released earlier this week. In them, the singer is seen holding hands with a pretty blonde girl named Lauren Richardson, despite the fact that he is engaged to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards. Clearly distressed by the release of the images, Zayn tweeted: 'I'm 22 years old... I love a girl named Perrie Edwards.

And as early as 2012, it appears that the cracks were beginning to show. In August of that year, Zayn caused concerns among the 'directioners' when he briefly quit Twitter. At the time he wrote: 'The reason i don't tweet as much as i use to, is because I'm sick of all the useless opinions and hate that i get daily goodbye twitter :)' However, he was back on the social media site 48 hours later saying: 'Sorry, I was getting some abuse on twitter but I dont want to let my fans down. So I am back!! :) x'. Zayn and Perrie, pictured here at DisneyLand have been dating since 2011, however, he has been accused of cheating on the Little Mix singer on more than one occasion .
