Two years ago she was left devastated after she auditioned for the X Factor , but failed to make it to the live shows.
This year, Emily Middlemas was back with a vengeance as she confidently performed in front of the new judging panel and credited her family for getting through the rejection she faced last time she was on the show.
In 2014, Emily made it all the way to the judges houses but Cheryl Fernandez-Versini sent her packing after telling her that she wasn't good enough for the live shows.

Fast forward two years and Emily, now 17, told the cameras: "At the time I was devastated, but I got to know that it was OK, and I was a little bit too young.
"Hopefully, this year they think I've improved. I'm just really really hoping for the best."
For her audition Emily sang Stevie Wonder's Master Blaster, which drew unanimous applause from the other auditionees, but Simon brought the mood down when he asked her what had kept her going throughout the last two years.

She said: "My family around me are the most supportive family, so they kept me going and it was amazing experience."
Emily's audition went well and she made it through to bootcamp, but when she first applied for the X Factor in 2014 she hasn't even told her parents that she could sing!
She told Reveal magazine: "I never told my parents I could sing. I guess I didn't believe in myself. But now it's much better.
"If I told my Dad I wanted to be a singer, before he was like, 'Oh yeah, like every kid does'. So I just kept it to myself."

Comedy great John Cleese is in talks to return to the BBC for a sitcom which has been written specifically for him, according to reports.
The Fawlty Towers and Monty Python star, 76, had previously said he would never work for the corporation again, saying its commissioning editors had "no idea" what they were doing.
But, Shane Allen, the BBC's head of comedy, told the Daily Telegraph: "We're in discussions about a piece that he might be in. He's a comedy god, and the door is always open to him.
PA John Cleese might head back to the BBC
"There are certain people who have earned their badges, who have got the right to do what they want."
A return to the Beeb would be quite the turnaround for Cleese who slated the BBC during an interview in Shortlist magazine.
The legendary comedian hit out at the network and claimed he would never work for them again.

PA Fawlty Towers made John a household name
Speaking to Shortlist, he said: "There's no way I want to work in TV, especially at the BBC. I have a nasty feeling a large proportion of the commissioning editors have no idea what they're doing.
"I said this the other day, and a younger comic said, 'No, there's one at the BBC'. Just the one."
The actor and writer prefers to read rather than watch TV - besides sport - and also took aim at ITV.
BBC After starring in Fawlty Towers, John vowed to never work with the BBC again
He added: "I went to see Peter Finchman - head of ITV - three years ago. You could not imagine the abyss between our minds.
"Everything I was interested in, his eyes just glazed over. Every time Finchman suggested something, I thought, 'Why would I want to do something as clichéd as that?'"

Great British Bake Off contestant Selasi Gbormittah is winning over viewers with his skills and looks
Great British Bake Off smoothie Selasi Gbormittah admits he likes to have his cake and eat it… and anyone else’s too!
The star of the new series reveals his love for all things spongy in a series of pictures and social media posts going back to his childhood.
He pokes fun at himself with comical captions and displays a personality that has already won him an army of TV fans.
The city banker, described as the coolest Bake Off contestant ever, has emerged as an early front runner after just one episode of the BBC ’s hit cookery show.
Social media came alive last Wednesday with Bake Off enthusiasts rushing to label Selasi, 30, as favourite to win.

And many ladies even declared him as their new crush.
Now we can reveal the heartwarming snaps which show how his love for food and baking developed many years ago.
In one picture a young Selasi is seen in his school uniform.
In the caption he poked fun at his weight – and blamed his love of food .
He wrote: “OH WOW! Ultimate #TBT...Chubstar! Now I know why I love cooking/baking. Gotta maintain. #GottaEat #FoodyFromDay. Tie game terrible haha.”
In another Instagram post, he shared a picture of himself as a boy alongside another snap of him ogling his sister’s birthday cake.

He wrote: “#TBT... Two massive things wrong with this picture. Always had a MASSIVE HEAD . Secondly, I have always loved CAKES regardless of who they belonged to! Clearly my sister’s bday cake but I wasn’t
really interested in whatever was happening around me! HA.”
When he was 30 Selasi uploaded a picture of his birthday cake alongside a snap of him as a young boy.
Originally from Ghana, Selasi moved to the UK with his family 15 years ago and he takes great pride in posting pictures of his brothers and sisters. One shows him alongside two of his siblings.

It was in Britain that baking first grabbed his interest and his Instagram account is full of images of his bright and beautiful creations.
“It’s funny growing up and not knowing that much about baking and then all of a sudden loving it so much,” he said.
Selasi, who now lives in London with his girlfriend, often impresses his Deutsche Bank colleagues with delicate bakes made for charity cake sales.
When he’s not in the kitchen, Selasi enjoys basketball, motorcycling and active fundraising.
Instagram Selasi Gbormittah even poked fun at his weight in throwback photo
He recently ran a 10 kilometre race, a half marathon and completed a trek through Malawi.
With colleague Alexandra Neville, he ascended the African country’s 9,849ft Mount Mulanje last year and between them raised £4,000 for World Child Cancer.
But baking is his biggest passion. And fans were won over by Selasi’s unflappable performance in the first episode of Bake Off, hosted by Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc.
He proved to be a cool customer in the baking tent, where not even a few mishaps seemed to phase him.
Selasi forgot to put the cinnamon in his drizzle cake, but didn’t let it bother him. Then, while everyone else was pulling their hair out during the Jaffa Cake technical, Selasi was cooler than an Arctic Roll.
His offerings were a sensation, winning him the technical challenge and deserved praise from judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry.

And when he forgot to put the vanilla pods in his showstopper, Selasi just brushed it off by saying: “I don’t understand it, I’m just baking it.”
More than 10 million watched the first episode, in which Selasi’s rival Jane Beedle was named star baker.
There was more good news for the BBC last night as it emerged chiefs have won the battle to keep Bake Off on their screens after doubling the fee.

ITV had hoped to poach it with a £21million swoop when the BBC’s deal expires.
But sources say the Beeb upped its offer to £15million and is poised to seal a three year deal with makers Love Productions.
Bosses are in the final stages of “exclusive negotiations” and hope to seal the deal soon.

Selasi, meanwhile, is enjoying the attention heaped on him after the opener of this series.
The keen motorcyclist instantly grabbed the limelight by riding in on his bike before taking off his leathers to reveal a sharp suit.
But fans are hoping he will be seen in his kitchen garb – the cream apron he wore in episode one – for weeks to come. In fact, they’re pinnying their hopes on it.

"His actions in response to this horrific attack only add to that sense of pride.
"As a family we have been comforted by the help and support offered by our friends and family at home and in Australia who have been wonderful."
Les Jackson said the many offers of support they had received had not been ignored, but they were simply focusing on their son's condition.
He added: "We are in awe of the medical and support staff at The Townsville Hospital who are providing the greatest care Tom could hope to receive and keeping me informed of his ongoing treatment every step of the way.

"Finally, and most importantly, our hearts go out to Mia and her family and friends at this deadful time."
Miss Ayliffe-Chung, from Wirksworth, Derbyshire, was killed at the Shelley's Backpackers accommodation in Home Hill on Tuesday.
Ayad has been charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder, one count of serious animal cruelty and 12 counts of serious assault.
He did not appear in court on Friday but was remanded in custody and his case has been adjourned until October 28.
Police are investigating reports that the Frenchman had an unrequited romantic interest or an "obsession" with Miss Ayliffe-Chung.

Liverpool and Tottenham in transfer chase for Ante Coric after Manchester City move is called off

Coric has angered Dinamo Zagreb by pulling out of their money-spinning deal with Man City
Liverpool are in pole position to land Croatian whizkid Ante Coric after the collapse of his £15million move to Manchester City, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People.
The Reds ' boss Jurgen Klopp has been on the teenager’s trail all summer, along with Tottenham and Merseyside neighbours Everton, but all three clubs were pushed out of the picture when City’s bid was accepted by Dinamo Zagreb .
But the 19-year-old attacking wide midfielder – rated one of Europe’s hottest talents – believed he was being “stock-piled” by City and his chances of immediate Premier League action at the Etihad were slim.
Those fears came true when Coric discovered the Blues planned to send him out on a season-long loan once the move had been completed – and he pulled out of the deal.
REUTERS Rivals on Saturday, Pochettino and Klopp are now set to compete again over Coric
That has infuriated Dinamo, who were keen to bank City’s money.
Liverpool – and Spurs, who they drew 1-1 with at White Hart Lane on Saturday –are now set to revive their interest.
Klopp remains keen to strengthen his squad with Coric and while Spurs tried and failed last week to persuade Crystal Palace to sell them tricky winger Wilfried Zaha, the teenager is a more than viable option as Mauricio Pochettino looks to pep up his attack with Champions League football looming next month.
In pictures — Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool:
Both clubs value Coric closer to £12m and were prepared to build add-ons into any deal.
But as Dinamo accepted City’s £15m offer, that is the fee the Croatians are now insisting on.

On a night when every emotion possible was felt thanks to the X Factor, two of its former presenters kept schtum.
Olly Murs and Caroline Flack were once the apple of Simon Cowell's eye, but after they both left the show under awkward circumstances, there relationship has been questionable.
The X Factor got off to a tremendous start as the new series kicked off on Saturday night with some hilarious acts, and some genuine tear-jerkers.
However, despite trending across several social media platforms, both Caroline and Olly failed to comment on the show, which is now being presented by former host Dermot O'Leary.

At the time of writing this article, neither Olly nor Caroline had tweeted anything for 11 hours, so perhaps they were just too busy with their respective careers to watch the ITV1 show.
Caroline and her co-host Olly were ditched as hosts after last year's series, following a number of on-air gaffes.
Rumours circulated that the former close friends were no longer on speaking terms, but Caroline SLAMMED those claims.
Caroline insists she is talking to Olly
The sassy presenter , 36, took to Twitter at the time to insist reports they had suffered a spectacular falling out after she was given the chop from the ITV show, were completely untrue.
She wrote on Twitter: “Who makes up this stuff!!!! I must be talking to an imaginary Olly then" (sic)
"I hate being made to make a comment on these things but I feel forced," she continued.
"I'm not bitter about X factor...I have not fallen out with Olly, I wanted to leave, I had the best time..." (sic)

A Royal Navy destroyer is heading to the Persian Gulf to support the military campaign against Islamic State (IS) terrorists, Michael Fallon has announced.
The Defence Secretary said HMS Daring will sail from Portsmouth on Friday to help protect US aircraft carriers engaged in bombing raids against IS targets in Iraq and Syria.
The Type 45 destroyer, which has a crew of 190, will be patrolling some of the world's busiest shipping lanes as part of the deployment.
As well as providing defensive cover to the carrier taskforce, the vessel will provide information to the headquarters controlling air operations against IS, which is also known as Daesh.
REUTERS The Defence Secretary said HMS Daring will sail from Portsmouth on Friday
Mr Fallon said: "All three armed services are making a vital contribution to defeating Daesh.
"RAF aircraft are hitting the terrorists daily on the ground; the Army is providing counter-explosives training to Iraq troops; the Royal Navy helps protect coalition carriers in the Gulf as they launch strikes.
"With the biggest defence budget in Europe and the second biggest in Nato, our Armed Forces are making a real difference around the world.

HMS Daring will be performing a similar role to that carried out by HMS Defender earlier in the year.
Her deployment follows a series of engine problems which have hit the Type 45 fleet.
The £1 billion destroyers have suffered problems in the Persian Gulf because they were not designed for temperatures in the region.

Innovative gas turbine engines driving the six Type 45s "degraded catastrophically" in very warm seas, First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Philip Jones told the House of Commons Defence Committee in July.
Despite a multi-million pound refit, he said the Royal Navy had accepted it would not be able to operate the ships "all the time in every place on every day of the year".

X Factor hopeful Saara Aalto was introduced to the judges and the nation on Sunday night's episode - but she already boasts a brilliant career.
The 29-year-old singer impressed the panel with her rendition of Sia's Chandelier during the auditions, but the Finnish singer is no stranger to high pressure performers and grand stages.
As well as being the voice of Elsa in the dubbed version of Frozen, Saara was the runner up on The Voice Finland four years ago.
ITV Saara's auditioned aired on Sunday
She attempted to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest
With three albums to her name, the star also tried to represent his homeland in the Eurovision Song Contest, most recently with No Fear earlier this year.
Back in 2011, she tried to enter the competition with Blessed With Love, and also voices Iris in Pokemon.
Instagram She didn't quite make it
In an Instagram post before her X Factor audition was aired on TV, Saara encouraged her followers to chase their dreams and described the audition as "a new beginning".
She wrote: "YES! This is definitely a #nofear2016 year!! Be brave and go for your dreams!! No matter where you come from and what your past is, everyday is a new beginning!
Instagram She's excited for a "new beginning"
"And today I'll be more excited than ever!! Thank you for supporting me!! TONIGHT (sic)"
The judges were clearly impressed with her efforts, as Simon Cowell exclaimed: "That's how you do it."

This time last year nobody had heard of Marcus Rashford . The 18-year-old's fame and form has risen astronomically since making his senior debut in February.
Since that famous Europa League brace, Rashford has gone on to score nine goals in 20 appearances for the Red Devils, and even earned himself a Euro 2016 place in the process.
Now firmly a part of Mourinho's 2016/17 set up, the Man United youth product has got a new chant - as seen and heard in the video above.
Man Utd via Getty "I love it lads!"
Inspired by his last-minute, match-winning heroics against Hull on Sunday, the United fans (while on the coach back home) sing Rashford's name together.
Including his place of birth as well switching from high to low notes, the song's actually pretty good.
They've even made it rhyme...
JMP/REX/Shutterstock "We love you too."
Can't work out what the United fans are singing? Here's the lyrics:
From Wythenshaw and loves to fight;
He's born to play, in red and white;
So listen close, it must be said;
Like Manchester, Rashford is red;

The new X-Men TV series starring Downton Abbey actor Dan Stevens will relate to future movies in the franchise, the writer and director of the superhero films has confirmed.
Legion will be based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name and will feature Stevens in the title role.
Bryan Singer, who has directed all but one of the X-Men films and is the producer of Legion, told the Edinburgh international TV festival: "What we are doing right now with Legion and another X-Men series will relate to future X-Men movies, whether it's Deadpool or X-Men sequels and past ones that I have done."
FX X-Men Legion will link into X-Men movies reveals Bryan Singer
FX Legion will be based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name and will feature Stevens in the title role
Noah Hawley, who wrote and directed the Fargo TV series, will serve as writer and director of Legion and has previously said the show won't have connections to the big screen world, describing it as a "standalone."
Singer added: "Noah Hawley had done an incredible job with Fargo and we wanted to make a show that would be part of the X-Men universe but when you watched it, you wouldn't have to label it, it can exist completely on its own.
"That was important because if you try to make X-Men for TV, well you can't afford the visual effects.
FX The show will co-exist with the movies
FX Mutants are coming to the small screen
"It has to exist in that way but Noah has created some extraordinary visuals to complement what will be a really ambitious and fun and unique storyline that will be connected to that universe."
The debut trailer for the show was released at Comic Con in July and whipped fans into an excited frenzy.
The show is due to air on US network FX in 2017.

Theresa May accused of 'delusions of grandeur' after comparing herself to Queen Elizabeth I

Theresa May has been accused of having "delusions of grandeur" after likening herself to Queen Elizabeth I.
In a candid interview with a local magazine, she also revealed she's terrified of snakes, hates her nose and is "late all the time."
And she said her motto would be "don't let the b******s get you down."
Asked by Windsor, Maidenhead and Ascot magazine for the historical figure with whom she most identified, she said: "Queen Elizabeth I - a woman who knew her own mind and achieved in a male environment.
"Remember her speech: 'I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the stomach of a king."
Labour MP Stephen Pound said: "Glenda Jackson might sue."
Dame Glenda , a former Labour MP, was acclaimed for her performance as the monarch in classic 1970s BBC series Elizabeth R.
"Watch out Calais, this could be Brexit in reverse all over again," he added. "Elizabeth I went for the Earl of Essex - will it be David or Joey this time? Delusions of grandeur or what?"
Reuters Delusions of grandeur?
Mrs May was today accused of "acting like a Tudor monarch" by Shadow International Trade and Development Secretary Barry Gardiner, over her plan to deny MPs a vote on triggering article 50.
He said: "The logic of saying the prime minister can trigger article 50 without first setting out to parliament the terms and basis upon which her government seeks to negotiate – indeed, without even indicating the red lines she will seek to protect – would be to diminish parliament and assume the arrogant powers of a Tudor monarch."
Asked who or what was the greatest love of her life, Mrs May said: "What? Shoes. Who? My husband Philip."
Labour politician Glenda Jackson as Queen Elizabeth I in 1971
She also said "shoes, of course" were her greatest extravagance.
The one question she refused to answer was "Have you ever said 'I love you' without meaning it?"
She replied: "That's a question no woman should answer."

Have you ever seen a player get taken out by a goalkeeper, spin 360 degrees in the air, somehow land on his feet after performing an accidental full front flip… and tap the ball into an empty net?
Of course you haven't. That is PRECISELY why you need to see the clip above.
It's fair to say we wouldn't normally report on ThunderRidge versus Columbine Rebels, a boys' "soccer" game in the US. But just take a look at the video, which shows the moment Rebel junior Dylan Prichett-Ettner finds himself clean through on goal.
The keeper comes out and clatters him:
Prichett-Ettner goes FLYING. He is, quite literally, spinning through the air:
Incredibly, he somehow makes a clean landing on his feet…
And taps the ball into an empty net.
It's no exaggeration to call it the most remarkable goal we have ever seen. This kid is about to go down in history as the scorer of football's first "front-flip" goal.
Until he looks over and sees it's been ruled out for offside.
Not cool, linesman. Not cool at all.

Mum caught in the act forced into embarrassing sex talk with nine-year-old after he says 'keep it down'

A mother has shared the cringe-worthy moment her son asked her to 'keep it down' after hearing her having sex.
Aussie mum Mel Watts , the 'Modern Mumma', said her home's thin walls had led to an embarrassing conversation with her nine-year-old son.
But she wrote an hilarious version of the events on Facebook , with the post receiving more than 1,600 likes.
She wrote: "For a while we've been going back and fourth over who was going to have the sex talk with our oldest son. I didn't want to.
"I figured he is my first child and I had no idea what an appropriate age would be. So I left it.
"This morning I wish we had that talk long before he heard about [it]. Not from other people. Worse. But through thin walls."
A photo posted by M E L W A T T S (@themodernmumma) on Aug 24, 2016 at 3:26am PDT
She then described to her more than 50,000 followers how she and her partner had had unfulfilling sex and that her son must have heard things that 'weren't exactly nice.'
And she continued: "Well all [my son] said was "could you possibly keep it down when you have sex?" To which I replied "Sure buddy, I'm sorry" wishing it was appropriate to say "I'll go neck myself over here.""
But despite the 'traumatising' incident, her post has received dozens of positive comments - with many other mums describing their own embarrassing 'caught in the act' stories.
Rex Mel admitted the unfulfilling sex must have meant her son had heard some 'not exactly nice' noises
One said: "Oh Hun I was 9 years old when I took my 3 year old sis down to see mum as she woke up with a nightmare.
"Found my parents "bumping uglies" and ushered my sis back to my bed."
And another added: "Oh my god! How horrifying! I'm so so sorry I laughed so much I had tears.
"I'm in the same situation 10yr old boy and re married now at the stage of having babies with my hubby, thank god his room is at the other end of the house"

Pop star Chris Brown has been arrested at his home following a tense 11-hour stand-off with police, authorities have confirmed.
The singer was held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Los Angeles Police said.
LAPD Lieutenant Chris Ramirez said: "He is being transported to robbery homicide, where he will be arrested for assault with a deadly weapon."
Ramirez declined to elaborate on the charges against Brown, saying that the investigation was still under way.
Officers surrounded the singer's home on Tuesday following a pre-dawn 911 call from a woman - later named as beauty queen Baylee Curran - who claimed he had pointed a gun at her.
Brown, 27, denies any wrongdoing and said on Instagram posts that he had woken up to find police outside and that they would need a warrant to enter the Tarzana property.
Lieutenant Ramirez said earlier: "This morning, around three o'clock, officers responded to a radio call for a woman requiring assistance.
"The incident involved the residence of Mr Chris Brown, where officers responded and met with that person."
Police spent hours waiting outside Brown's home before obtaining a search warrant and beginning a search of the sprawling premises in the early afternoon.
The singer's entourage began to emerge at around 12:40pm, before they were interviewed by police.

The singer himself followed two hours later, leaving the building at around 2:38pm wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans and a red hat.
He looked in good spirits as he spoke to law enforcement and a second person, believed to be his lawyer Mark Geragos.

A huge police presence had been at the mansion since early this morning, with the first time arriving at around 3am following reports he threatened Curran with a gun.
It was reported on Tuesday by TMZ that the singer was being investigated on an allegation of criminal assault, after Curran claimed he threatened her with a gun while at an LA residence, prompting her to call 911.

Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, is believed to have gone into the home at 12:30pm [PDT].
Several people have been seen leaving the property and coming out to the gate, where they've spoken to officers.

The woman at the centre of the drama was quickly identified as beauty queen Curran.
She revealed she had "partied" with Brown in the past and said he had always been "nice".
On Monday night she claims to have gone to his Tarzana mansion where they hungout in a hot tub and were having fun, until she admired a piece of jewellery worn by a member of Brown's crew.

Stephen Bear has claimed Lillie Lexie Gregg cheated on him.
During his time on Celebrity Big Brother , fans were hanging on the edge of their seats when she went into the house to confront and dump him after he strayed with Chloe Khan.
But the reality hunk has hinted there was a lot more to that story than we originally realised.
"The last two girls I have been with cheated on me," he said, knowing full well that the public is aware Lillie Lexie is his most recent girlfriend.
Bear dropped the bombshell on Loose Women
Opening up about cheating during a stint on Loose Women today, he added: "It’s bang out of order. So I thought you know what, the next girl I am with I will treat them as well as I did them and hopefully it will work out."
Bear then went on to suggest he and former housemate Chloe are on their way to becoming a official item.

Lucy in the sky with a 3D printer: How you can help solve the mysterious death of the world's most famous fossil
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Scans of the world's most-famous fossil have been released in an effort to establish how the ape-like human relative perished 3.18 million years ago.
The fossil, known fondly as Lucy, was discovered by researchers in Ethopia back in 1974. She was named after the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, which was on heavy rotation on the radio at the time.
Around 40% of Lucy's skeleton was recovered at the time, making her one of the most complete australopithecine fossils ever found.
She is the closest primate to the homo genus. Homo Sapiens began walking the earth around 200,000 years ago.
Nature.com 3D scans of Lucy — a 3.18-million-year-old hominin found in Ethiopia
Her skeletal remains are kept in a National Museum in Ethiopia’s Addis Ababa and her plasticreplica is kept in the public for tourists to observe.
Scans of the hominin creature's arm, shoulder and knee bones are now available to download in accompaniment to a paper from Nature alleging that Lucy died after falling from a tree.
The team hope the public will 3D print the bones from the scans to test the hypothesis.
“It’s one thing for me to describe it in detail in paper, but it’s another thing to hold these things, to be able to print them out, look at them and put them together,” team leader John Kappelman, a palaeoanthropologist at the University of Texas at Austin told Nature .
Nature.com 3D scans of Lucy — a 3.18-million-year-old hominin found in Ethiopia
Lucy's remains were first scanned during 2008 over a 10 day period in Austin.
Examination of the bone fractures revealed extensive damage to her left shoulder, pelvis, right ankle and knee, suggesting a fall from a tree taller than 10 metres.
The bones linked to her right shoulder also sustained a series of clean breaks which echoed those orthopaedic surgeons saw as a result of patients attempting to break a fall with an outstretched arm.
“Here’s the most famous fossil on the planet, the centre of the debate over arborealism in human evolution, and we think it’s most likely she died from a fall out of tree,” said Mr Kappelman.
Marc Meyer, a palaeoanthropologist at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, California, refutes the claim. Had Lucy fallen from a tree, she would have sustained a broken spine in the same way chimpanzees do when falling from a comparable height, he said.
The research team who discovered Lucy believed her bones were broken after she had already died.

Jeremy Clarkson makes budget airline deliver his suitcase to private yacht after they delay his holiday by FOUR hours
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

When most of us get delayed at the airport we spend it looking around the shops and spending too much money in duty free - but not Jeremy Clarkson .
The ex-Top Gear host decided he wasn't going to spend time mooching around Gatwick Airport after he was informed he would still need to check in at the original time, despite his flight to Kefalonia, Greece, being delayed by FOUR hours.
Instead, he would wait in the comfort of his own home until his new departure time - even though that meant his suitcase wouldn't be on the same flight as him.
But that didn't bother Jeremy, who now presents The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime, as he had thought up his own punishment for the airline once he touched down in Greece.
"I should have known not to use a budget airline called Norwegian which paints its planes so they look like penises," he wrote in his column for The Sun on Saturday.
"So I'd have to check in at breakfast time for a plane that wasn't going to leave until after lunch. And then spend time mooching around the shops, not smoking.
"Being obtuse, I decided not to bother. Which meant that they didn't bother to put my suitcase in the hold.
"This meant they had to deliver it to where I was staying. Which was on a yacht, an hour's speedboat ride from the airport.
"Serves them right."
Jeremy had another memorable holiday earlier this month when he saved a group of tourists being swept out to sea.
Enjoying some time in a boat, he spotted four men trapped on their lilos after winds blew them a mile off Majorca, Spain.
The 56-year-old towed them to his holiday yacht.
He tweeted after the incident: “I helped four of them. I rescued two French and two Germans. They burst out laughing when they saw who was rescuing them."

Chickens being boiled ALIVE just one of 4,000 horrific cases of animal suffering at British abattoirs

Chickens being boiled alive was just one of more than 4,000 serious breaches of animal welfare regulations at British abattoirs in the last two years.
The data - a log of reports submitted to the Food Standards Agency - reveals thousands of animals being subjected to avoidable suffering each year.
Scores of individual acts of cruelty and neglect by slaughterhouse staff, hauliers and farmers are documented, as well as malpractice that increases the risk of food poisoning .
A single breach can involve cruelty to hundreds of animals.
Getty Some breaches of abattoir procedures can lead to risk of food poisoning
Figures released under Freedom of Information laws found an average of six incidents a DAY were in the most serious category.
MP Neil Parish said: “There is no place for animal cruelty at any stage of farm production, including the slaughterhouse.
“This country prides itself as having some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world. It’s vital the authorities crack down on any abuses and ensure there is zero tolerance to any mistreatment of animals when slaughtered.”
The welfare breaches include a cow being “violently slammed” against a wall following an argument between two workers; an abattoir worker beating three bulls with a wooden stick and electric prod; and a haulier hitting and kicking cattle during unloading.
Many involve sheep being grabbed by the wool and ears or dragged by the horns, or pigs being lifted by their ears and tails.
A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency said it had “zero tolerance” approach to animal welfare breaches.

Lily Allen slams 'health fears' and admits she's 'just a lightweight' after boozy carnival appearance

Lily Allen has slammed reports about fears for her health as she admitted she's simply "just a lightweight".
The Smile singer was allegedly spotted looking rather worse for wear over the Bank Holiday weekend as she enjoyed a boozy day at the Notting Hill Carnival, and seem to have needed a friend to carry her away from the stage.
Rather than being fussed by the claims, Lily has hit back on Twitter and assured fans she is "absolutely fine" after partying at the festival.

The star admitted she was suffering after just two cans of cider, and explained she hadn't eaten before drinking.
She tweeted: "Truth is I'm just a lightweight, I had 2 cans of strongbow on an empty stomach. I'm here now and I'm absolutely fine."
Twitter Lily has responded to the reports
In a later tweet, Lily - who was referring to claims made by The Sun - shared a beaming snap from the weekend as she hinted at fans to move on.
"Nothing to see here," she wrote.

However, she did hint at a rather messy weekend in earlier posts, admitting the "less said" about her boozy time the better.
Responding to another user who urged punters at the carnival to "think about your future before doing anything" silly, Lily said: "I needed to have seen this yesterday"

Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson has insisted a new stadium for Everton is 'closer than it's ever been' and hinted over a potential location for a ground.
Plans to develop on Walton Hall Park were abandoned earlier this year but the Toffees are now expoloring the possibility of building on a docklands-based site or at Stonebridge Cross, report the Liverpool Echo.
The Mayor of Liverpool – a life-long Blues supporter – responded to a supporter’s query on Twitter, providing an update on an announcement.
He wrote: “It’s closer now than it was last month and closer now than it’s ever been.
“All working hard to make it happen.”
@18DarrenLowry78 : Its closer now than it was last month and closer now than it's ever been. All working hard to make it happen. — Joe Anderson (@mayor_anderson) August 29, 2016
He then followed that up with a second tweet, which intimated the site could be the Bramley Moore dock, situated in the northern dock system in Vauxhall.
“The Moore the merrier for me,” he tweeted, complete with a winking emoji.

The dock was part of Peel’s £5.5billion ‘Liverpool Waters’ regeneration programme, which was announced in 2007.
Bramley Moore dock closed in 1988 following the decline of the coal industry in south Lancashire, and has recently been used as a site for Sound City music festival.

Victoria star Jenna Coleman hits back at claims she is too pretty to play Queen Victoria in new ITV drama

www.mirror.co.uk

Jenna Coleman has hit back at viewers who think she is too beautiful to play Queen Victoria.
The 30-year-old, who made her debut as the monarch in ITV's new flagship drama Victoria on Sunday, urged viewers to see beyond her looks after she faced criticism following the episode.
"I want to say 'Google young Victoria'. Portraits are subjective, the eye of the beholder perhaps, but you want people to look a bit further than that,' Jenna said.
"In some portraits she looks very young and exuberant and others are not as flattering. When she gets older they perhaps become less flattering."
Victoria was described in her youth as a "short, vulgar-looking child" who had bulging eyes and already a tendency to be overweight.

Viewers felt Jenna was too beautiful to play the monarch
But with Jenna's beauty, Twitter had a hard time believing she could play the monarch convincingly.
Gogglebox's June Bernicoff tweeted: "Surely Jenna Louise Coleman is too pretty to be Victoria, she wasn't exactly a looker, was she?"
While another simply tweeted: "Jenna Coleman is too pretty to replicate Victoria."
Jenna also admitted that being bowed to took some getting used to during an interview with Nick Grimshaw on his Radio 1 breakfast show.
When asked by Grimmy if the part made her feel "a bit posh", she said: "There was a period after filming of cooling off, it's a funny thing when you walk into a room and sit on a throne, a nervous giggle happens quite a lot until you get yourself used to it."

She added: "People bow to you but then you go to the pub with your mum and your Gran and they knock some sense into you."
Jenna stars opposite Rufus Sewell and Peter Firth in the eight-part period drama, with Tom Hughes soon joining the cast to play Victoria's husband Prince Albert.

The actress said she did hours of research on Victoria and became entrenched in the role. She told Grimmy: "I had a funny interview at Kensington Palace when I came over with a hot turn. I think it might have been Queen Victoria's ghost saying 'Stop talking about me in the fist person'."
Victoria is on ITV on Sundays at 9pm.

Kylie Jenner plants a kiss on Tyga as they fly to Las Vegas with rapper's son King

Kylie Jenner and Tyga are enjoying a break in Las Vegas with the rapper's son King Cairo.
The 19-year-old reality TV star and her boyfriend have brought his three-year-old son on a trip to Sin City for some "last-minute adventures".
Kylie and King were accompanying Tyga, 26, as he flew to Vegas to perform.
The smitten KUWTK beauty shared a snap of them puckering up on board their private jet.
Although Kylie was previously locked in a long-running feud with King's mum Blac Chyna, the pair have since buried the hatchet and Chyna recently insisted she would be happy for Kylie to babysit the tot and the new baby she is expecting with Kylie's brother Rob Kardashian.
The couple - who announced they were expecting their first child together in May this year one month after getting engaged - admitted they would trust the star to look after their baby more than her sister Kendall.

When asked in a Facebook Live discussion about who they would rely on to mind their tot out of Kendall and Kylie, the 28-year-old make-up artist said: "Yeah, she [Kylie] could babysit the baby and King at the same time.
"[But] I would say both."
However, the 29-year-old father-to-be has revealed he would only leave his brood in the care of the beauty entrepreneur.
He quipped: "I would choose neither of them.
"No, I'm kidding ... Probably Kylie. I'll probably let Kylie babysit."

'He was killed for speaking Polish' says brother of man who died after suspected race-hate attack
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

A man murdered in a suspected race-hate attack was killed for speaking Polish, his brother claimed yesterday.
Arek Jozwik, 40, and two friends were eating a takeaway pizza on the street when they were allegedly approached by a gang of teens.
The factory worker suffered a serious head injury during the altercation and later died in hospital.
Witnesses say up to 20 youths – including several girls – may have been involved in the incident.
Police have arrested six teenage boys on suspicion of murder. Arek’s brother Radek, 36, yesterday made an emotional visit to the scene of his death.
He said: “The police have told us he was attacked because they heard him and his friends speaking the Polish language.
“He was standing eating pizza and they picked on him because of that. Parents need to speak with their children – they are out of control. After the Brexit vote it has got worse. It is hard at the moment.”
SWNS The victim's brother Radek Jozwik
Arek was attacked on Saturday night outside TGF Pizza in Harlow, Essex. A restaurant worker claimed police had repeatedly been warned about trouble in the area. He said: “I told police, ‘You know them, I know who they are – everyone knows them’. They are an out-of-control mob.”
Describing seeing Arek dying on the floor, he added: “He was in a really bad way. There was blood coming from his ear.”

“It is not yet clear how many attackers there were, but the suspects were part of a group of about 15 to 20 youths, both girls and boys.
"We understand not all these people were involved and we believe there will be witnesses who were deeply shocked by what took place.
“We know they may find it hard to come forward, but we would encourage them to discuss it with their parents and to contact police. They can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously if they are afraid to give their name or speak directly with us.
“This was a brutal assault and we are grateful for the public’s support so far in coming forward with information to help us identify those responsible for this horrific incident and bring them to justice.”
Police will be carrying out extra patrols in the area and we are working with our partners to provide reassurance to the community.

X Factor's new boy band, Yes Lad, could be Simon Cowell's answer to One Direction

With a huge gap in the market where One Direction once were, teenage fans across the world have been dying to fill the void with someone else.
Well wait no more, Directioners, because X Factor supremo Simon Cowell just may have the answer to your prayers with this new talented young group of boys.
Viewers will get to see boy band Yes Lad on the very first episode of the new series, and they won't be disappointed by what they hear.
Syco/Thames/Dymond Yes Lad think they could be the next One Direction
Syco/Thames/Dymond How impressed were the X Factor judges?
The group is made up of five lads from and around Manchester. Having formed in a bedroom in Salford, the cheeky chaps think they have what it takes to make it to the final.
According to Yes Lad, they came up with their name because where they're from they say "Yes Lad" as a greeting to each other.
This is a serious endeavour by the group, aged 16 to 21, who have given up their day jobs in order to focus fully on being singers.
Syco/Thames/Dymond Yes Lad sang Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop the Feeling
Syco/Thames/Dymond The lads have quit their jobs to focus on the band
Watching One Direction go on to be a major success despite not winning the show inspired them to enter the singing competition, but does Simon Cowell see talent in them?
They sang Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop the Feeling and had the judges split on their opinions of them and whether they were all equally as talented as each other.
Simon instantly picked out one the boys for praise and said that he was more talented than the rest, but he refused to say which one he meant.

Gene Wilder passed away holding hands with his family and listening to one of his favourite singers performing Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
The Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory icon passed away at his home in Stamford, Connecticut earlier this month aged 83 following complications linked to Alzheimer's disease.
In a touching statement by nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman, it was revealed the Hollywood legend was listening to Ella Fitzgerald performing the classic song.

Speaking on behalf of Wilder's family his nephew said: "He was eighty-three and passed holding out hands with the same tenderness and love he exhibited as long as I can remember.
"As our hands clutched and he performed one last breath the music speaker which was set to random, began to blare out one of his favourites: Ella Fitzgerald.
He continued: "There is a picture of he and Ella meeting at a London Bistro some years ago that are among each or cherished possessions. She was singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow as he was taken away."

The statement was signed off by one of Wilder's most iconic lines from his greatest role of Willy Wonka, who he brought to life in the 1971 classic.
"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams," it read.
Wilder, who had battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1989, was known as a comic genius whose timing made him a favourite of Hollywood directors.
As well as starring in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory he was also well known for appearing in The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Stir Crazy.
Mr Walker-Pearlman said the actor had chosen to keep his Alzheimer's secret so that children who knew him as Willy Wonka would not equate the whimsical character with an adult disease.

Making the announcement, he said: “It is with indescribable sadness and blues, but with spiritual gratitude for the life lived that I announce the passing of husband, parents and universal artist Gene Wilder at his home in Stamford, Connecticut.
“It is almost unbearable for us to contemplate our life without him.”
The news of his death led to an outpouring of grief from Hollywood with his friend Mel Brooks leading the tributes.
The director said: “Gene Wilder - one of the truly great talents of our time. He blessed every film we did with his magic & he blessed me with his friendship.”

Rob Lowe wrote, “Gene Wilder as one of my earliest heroes. Blazing Saddles, Willy Wonka, are CLINICS on comic acting. Sad to hear of his passing.”
Russell Crowe said: “I saw Blazing Saddles 7 times at the cinema with my school friends . George St. Cows outside. Gene Wilder, you were a genius. Rest in Peace.”
Oscar-nominated Juliette Lewis added: “Thank you for the beautiful words”.

Britain’s own funnyman Ricky Gervais simply used one of the star's most famous quotes from Willy Wonka writing on Twitter: “Good Day Sir!’ RIP Gene Wilder.”
The frizzy-haired actor was often cast as characters who showed signs of neurotic or hysteric behaviour.
“My quiet exterior used to be a mask for hysteria,” he told Time magazine in 1970.
“After seven years of analysis, it just became a habit.”
Twice nominated for an Oscar, his glittering career faltered after the death of his wife Gilda Radner, who he starred alongside in The Woman in Red, which left him devastated.
Friends say he never really got over her passing from ovarian cancer in 1989 and Wilder only worked infrequently after she died.
He married again in 1991 to Karen Boyer.

He returned briefly to television in the US with the sitcom “Something Wilder,” in 1994 and won an Emmy in 2003 for a guest role on “Will & Grace.”
Born Jerome Silberman in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 1933, he began acting at the age of eight when his mother was diagnosed with rheumatic fever.
The family’s doctor told the then schoolboy to "try and make her laugh” to take her mind off the pain she suffered.
After studying drama for two years when he turned 13 his mother Jeanne Silberman felt her son's potential was not being fully realised and sent him instead to Black-Foxe, a military institute in Hollywood.
Following his graduation after studying Communication and Theatre Arts at the University of Iowa, he was accepted at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol in 1955.

But his time in the UK was short lived after he was drafted into the army the following year.
He adopted Gene Wilder for his professional name at the age of 26, explaining, "I had always liked Gene because of Thomas Wolfe's character Eugene Gant in Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River. And I was always a great admirer of Thornton Wilder.”
Following a short stint off-Broadway in 1961 Wilder won critical acclaim in Graham Greene’s comedy The Complaisant Lover.
It saw him awarded the Clarence Derwent Award as most promising newcomer but more importantly brought him to the attention of Mel Brooks.
When Wilder performed with the director’s future wife Anne Bancroft in Mother Courage it became the start of a long and famed friendship between the two men.
It led to the actor being cast in the 1967 film The Producers, in which he played the hysterical Leo Bloom, an accountant lured into a money making scam by a theatrical producer played by Zero Mostel.

Directed and written by Brooks, the film brought Wilder an Oscar nomination as best supporting actor spring-boarding him into more Hollywood roles.
In 1971 he stepped into the shoes of Willie Wonka.
Based on the children’s book by Roald Dahl, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was not an immediate hit but became a children’s favourite over the years.
Now established in Hollywood Wilder achieved further stardom in two other Brooks comedies, both in 1974.

Western spoof “Blazing Saddles” and a wacko adaptation of Mary Shelley’s famous book entitled “Young Frankenstein,” in which Wilder portrayed the mad scientist with his signature mixture of hysteria and sweetness both enjoyed box office success.
The 1980’s movie Stir Crazy starring Richard Pryor became the then biggest grossing movie earning more than $100 million.
He is survived by his fourth wife Karen Boyer, who he married in 1991 and his nephew, Jordan Walker-Pearlman who himself has become a director.
His sister Corinne died in January this year.
He also has a daughter, Katharine, whom he adopted in 1967 when he married her mother Mary Joan Schute.

"He simply couldn't bear the idea of one less smile in the world": The family statement in full
It is with indescribable sadness and blues, but with spiritual gratitude for the life lived that I announce the passing of husband, parent and universal artist Gene Wilder, at his home in Stamford, Connecticut.
It is almost unbearable for us to contemplate our life without him.
The cause was complications from Alzheimer's Disease with which he co-existed for the last three years. The choice to keep this private was his choice, in talking with us and making a decision as a family.
We understand for all the emotional and physical challenges this situation presented we have been among the lucky ones - the illness-pirate, unlike in so many cases, never stole his ability to recognize those that were closest to him, nor took command of his central-gentle-life affirming core personality. It took enough but not that.
The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn't vanity, but more so that the countless young children would smile or call out to him 'there's Willy Wonka,' would not have to be then exposed to an adult referencing illness or trouble and causing delight to travel to worry, disappointment or confusion.
Getty Gene Wilder signs a copy of his new book "My French Whore" at Barnes & Noble in 2007
He simply couldn't bear the idea of one less smile in the world.
He continued to enjoy art, music, and kissing his leading lady of the last twenty-five years, Karen.
He danced down a church aisle at a wedding as parent of the groom and ring bearer, held countless afternoon movie western marathons and delighted in the company of beloved ones.
He is survived by Karen[wife], Jordan [nephew] and the Webbs (Kevin, Gretchen, Tucker, Spencer)[wife's family], along with Jordan's wife Elizabeth. Gene's sister Corinne, predeceased him in January of this year.
He was eighty three and passed holding our hands with the same tenderness and love he exhibited as long as I can remember.
As our hands clutched and he performed one last breath, the music speaker, which was set to random, began to blare out one of his favorites: Ella Fitzgerald.
There is a picture of he and Ella meeting at a London Bistro some years ago that are among each oUr cherished possessions. She was singing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' as he was taken away'
'We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.'
Sincerely,
'Gene's Kid'

People shop inside a BHS Store in Harrow on the last day of trading
BHS vanishing from our High Streets after 88 years, as the chain’s last stores shut, is not the closure of this scandal.
Huge debts are still to be settled with a shop full of unsavoury characters – from shifty tycoon Philip Green and his tax haven-based wife Tina to three-time bankrupt Dominic Chappell, accused of short-changing loyal staff, company pensioners and suppliers.
None of them must be allowed to walk away from deals which expose how capitalism shouldn’t work.
If the law needs changing to protect workers and suppliers from sharks, let’s change the law.
REUTERS Retailer Philip Green speaks before Parliament's business select committee
And while they’re enjoying the high life on their £100million floating gin palace, the Greens – estimated to be worth £3.5billion between them – should do the decent thing and plug the £571million pensions black hole.
Nobody can be allowed to sail away into the sunset, avoiding public responsibilities by giving away a company for a token £1 to a geezer obviously out of his depth.
The BHS scandal isn’t over.

Reality TV star lifts lid on 'Europe's toughest military-style boot camp' after completing painful regime
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
It’s 10.30pm, pitch black and I’m lying face down in a murky swamp.
I can only faintly make out the silhouette of a man in army camo, while he yells expletives at me, during a brutal circuit comprising hundreds of push-ups, burpees and sit ups.
The water is so thick and dank, I can’t even see my hands. I try to forget my feeble muscles burning, the bitter cold and the bugs, instead, all I’m focusing on is – why did I volunteer to be here?
When I signed up for Xtreme Boot Camps - dubbed ‘Europe’s toughest military style bootcamp’ - I arrogantly assumed I’d be able to take the workouts in my stride.
Being an avid gym bunny, a cross-fitter and considering I’ve completed four other military style camps with relative ease, I reasoned, how hard could this one be?
Xtreme Boot Camp Elissa being put through her paces
"I’ve done boot camps before, I’m sure I’ll be fine," I said cockily to two surly instructors during our induction, who looked back at me, distinctly unimpressed.
Instead the ex-military trainers, James and Tom, made it seriously clear this was not like any other camp I’d visited before.
This was not an expensive boutique weight loss camp for softies and favoured by celebs, instead their extreme programme is inspired by the most arduous regime in the world - Royal Marine commando training.
This is a place where mental resilience would be tested and you would be pushed so excessively, you would be forced to reach breaking point.
Even the strongest of athletes would dread it.
On day one, our group, made up of six men and four women - many of who had flown from all over Europe specifically to be there - were given a fitness assessment.
A bleep test, sit ups, press ups and made to hold a plank. It turned out there was a mix of all ranges and abilities, with myself coming somewhere near the top of the pack.
Yet instead of being weighed and measured like many camps insist, we were to be given a ‘mental test’ – a series of painful challenges designed to make us suffer.
Xtreme Boot Camp It was a tough week of fitness for the reality TV star
The aim? To see who was mentally tough enough to resist the urge to give up in the face of failure.
It began with Tom - the harshest instructor I’ve ever encountered and who had all the empathy of the Prison guard from The Shawshank Redemption - pouring icy water over us until we were soaked from head to toe.
Once suitably, cold, wet and miserable, we were made to hold a static press up position for 20 minutes. Yes, you read that right – 20 MINUTES.
Of course, being average’s Joes and not GI Joes, no one could hold the position for that kind of eternity, and we were treated to full, force-ten swearing meted out by the instructor’s every time we exhaustedly fell to our knees.
Xtreme Boot Camp Elissa with her fellow fitness fans
Endlessly harassed to "keep the f*** up" or suffer the pain of even more punishment, every time someone messed up, the entire group was reprimanded with sprints, commando crawls and 300m walking lunges. While the 20 minute timer for the impossible press up hell heart-breakingly, began again.
It was at that point I realised this brutal boot camp was going to be utter hell, designed to strip you of your ego, pride and individuality. I was almost on the brink of collapse and it was only the first afternoon.
When we were finally allowed back to the house - a prestigious and beautiful boarding school in Malvern, Worcestershire – a female team member decided to quit there and then, citing "I didn’t sign up to be told I’m useless and lazy."
Despite my best personal efforts to make her stay which included a pep talk on ‘reverse psychology’ she left camp in tears, after only three hours. It was clear, to me anyway, I should never have a career as a counsellor and she just didn’t possess the mental grit to see it through.
Xtreme Boot Camp Dead lifts with weights was part of the fitness regime
I set my alarm for an ungodly 4.30am and day two brought with it similar mental and physical challenges; a gruelling quadruple-length Tabbata style of intervals at 5am, three-hour long military style circuits in the morning and afternoon, and a ‘bug out’ punishment during the night.
The ‘bug out’ which on civvie street means ‘to leave quickly’, involved being woken up mid slumber, only to be marched down to the stinking swamp for a bodyweight circuit in the water.
The crime? A Swedish lady dared to come to a session without a full water bottle.
My own personal breaking point came on day three, during a ‘team building’ challenge which almost saw me leave the camp completely and believe me when I say, I’m no quitter.
The task: Flip three tractor tyres 100m in a set amount of time. It sounds easy in theory, but a tractor tyre is MUCH heavier than you can imagine.
Xtreme Boot Camp Over the week Elissa says she got fitter
However, what finally pushed me over the edge, was continually having to pick up the slack for the ‘lazier’ members of the group and then being punished for it.
Punishments were varied. 263 press ups each because someone was 263 seconds late. Endless 400m sprints to ‘the tree’ and back. Countless hill sprints. Hundreds of burpees. Pushing a van for a mile round a field…I could go on and on…
Exhausted, demoralised and lying on my back in a field, actual tears began to roll down my face as I realised we were nowhere near close to completing the tyre task.
One guy was vomiting, another was in agony through injury and I was sobbing my eyes out because I was so physically depleted from doing more than triple of my share, I couldn’t continue.
Xtreme Boot Camp Battered and bruised was the side effect of the fitness camp
What followed was an entire day of in-fighting, bitching and frustration within the group which led to a divide between the ones who were putting in 110% effort and the ones who shirked from the hard graft.
Much like in the military, both trainers tried to instill the ethos of team work, determination and camaraderie to get you to gel as a single unit.
Xtreme Boot Camp The boot camp group take a dunk
"We are not just looking for physical ability or mental resilience, it’s about the team cohesion within the group. You must work together," said James, although at the time, his words had zero effect.
To their credit, both James and even tyrant Tom, did a fine job of encouraging me to stick with the programme and convinced me not to quit the camp, explaining that their harsh tactics and punishments were part of the plan.
They deliberately created adversity for mental discipline and to push us together. In short, we would come out the other side, better people.
Xtreme Boot Camp Elissa with her instructors
Day four, by some miracle, we finally began performing like a troop. Punishments were become less frequent and morale was at an all-time high.
Even when they made us suffer a second ‘bug out’ at 2am which consisted of a staggering 10,000 rep challenge split between nine people. The agonising memories of that night still leave me waking up in a cold sweat.
Of course, it wasn't all shouting and being beasted. We had plenty of laughs especially when the trainers shed the camouflage and we sat around swapping hilarious life stories.
Our 'yomp' up to the top of the Great Malvern was a fantastic day, where we all bonded so much you would have thought we were on the set of Band of Brothers .
The food, made daily by a top class chef, was exceptional. Unlike other camps which starve you on 800-1200 calories a day, we were actively encouraged to eat as much as we liked. We needed the fuel to boost our new found developing fitness levels.
While a detailed lecture on nutrition and working out were greatly informative, leaving me feeling like I’d really learnt something.
Xtreme Boot Camp A night beasting was part of the week
I also liked that Xtreme don’t value their camp by how many celebrities have attended. In fact, quite the opposite, unless a ‘celeb’ was willing to leave their ego at the door, share a dorm with strangers and graft their ass off, they won't take them.
There is no special treatment there. No matter if you’re a TV star or a couch potato.
Plus they don’t long for your repeat business. Instead James says ‘In the nicest possible way, I hope I never see you again. I should have given you the tools and mentality so you can now go away and do it yourself.’
When I left the camp on day seven, I was truly exhausted, battered and bruised. But I was also much much fitter, (proven by my second fittest assessment), mentally stronger and full of great sense of achievement.
Xtreme Boot Camp Healthy portions helped the participants take part in the exercises
Yes, it was tough. Yes, it brought out the best and worst in me. But you know what? Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, challenge and difficulty.
If you're a bride trying to squeeze into a wedding dress, a TOWIE star looking for a weight loss deal or you think by going to Body Pump four times week, you'll be able to handle it - this is not the camp for you.
But if you genuinely want a challenge, are willing to put in maximum effort, be pushed to your limit and can put up with the instructor’s hair trigger tempers, then I wouldn't hesitate give Xtreme Boot Camps a go.
I guarantee it's worth every painstaking minute.

Zika virus now spreads to Singapore with 41 confirmed cases

The Zika virus has now spread to Singapore with 41 confirmed cases.
Those infected include 36 foreign construction workers employed at a site near Aljunied in the southeast of the island, the health ministry and the National Environment Agency (NEA) said in a joint statement.
On Saturday, authorities had confirmed Singapore ’s first case of a local transmission of the virus, to a 47-year-old Malaysian woman, also from the Aljunied area.
The statement said: “MOH cannot rule out further community transmission in Singapore since some of those tested positive also live or work in other parts of Singapore.
Getty Images Those infected include 36 foreign construction workers employed at a site near Aljunied
“We expect to identify more positive cases.”
The authorities said they have tested 124 people, primarily construction workers.
Seventy-eight tested negative and five cases were pending. Thirty-four patients have fully recovered.
There are now 41 confirmed cases in Singapore
It was not immediately clear where the foreign workers were from, but Singapore hosts a large contingent of workers from the Asian sub-continent.
The statement said: “All the cases are residents or workers in the Aljunied Crescent/Sims Drive area.
"They are not known to have travelled to Zika-affected areas recently, and are thus likely to have been infected in Singapore.

"This confirms that local transmission of Zika virus infection has taken place.”
Dozens of NEA staff cleaned drains and sprayed insecticide in the mainly residential area early on Sunday, and volunteers and contractors handed out leaflets and insect repellent.
The NEA workers had accessed more than 1,800 premises of a total of 6,000 in the area to check for mosquito breeding.

Local residents welcomed the clean-up.
Janice, 31, who asked not to be identified, said: “I’m very scared of mosquitoes because they always seem to bite me, they never bite my husband.
“This concerns me because maybe in a couple of years I want to have another (child).”

Zika was detected in Brazil last year and has since spread across the Americas.
The virus poses a risk to pregnant women because it can cause severe birth defects.
It has been linked to more than 1,600 cases of microcephaly in Brazil.

The Singapore government said there were “ongoing local transmission” cases in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Other countries in the region to have detected the Zika virus since 2013 include Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives and the Philippines, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) .
Malaysia has stepped up surveillance at main transit points with Singapore.

Health director-general Noor Hisham Abdullah said leaflets on Zika prevention were being handed out and paramedics were at entry points to handle visitors with potential symptoms.
As of this month, Malaysia said it has screened more than 2million visitors at air, sea and land entrances, and found no Zika infections.
In Thailand, where close to 100 cases of Zika have been recorded across 10 provinces this year, the Department of Disease Control (DDC) was screening all athletes returning from the Olympic Games in Brazil, but was not otherwise changing its prevention measures.

“Every country in this region has Zika transmission cases,” said Prasert Thongcharoen, an adviser to the DDC.
“Thailand has, however, managed to contain the problem through early detection.”
Indonesian foreign ministry spokesman Armanatha Nasir said the country was “following developments”.

Oskar Pribadi, a health ministry official, said there have been no recent Zika cases.
Vietnam has to date reported three cases of locally-transmitted Zika infection.
The current strain of Zika that is sweeping through Latin America and the Caribbean originated in Asia, where people could have built up greater immunity.

U.S. health officials have concluded that Zika infections in pregnant women can cause microcephaly, a birth defect marked by small head size that can lead to severe developmental problems.
The WHO has said there is strong scientific consensus that Zika can also cause Guillain-Barre, a rare neurological syndrome that causes temporary paralysis in adults.

On the move: Bony has three Premier Leagues sides after him
West Ham face challenges from Stoke and Everton for the services of Wilfried Bony .
The Hammers want the out-of-favour Manchester City striker, 27, on a short-term loan.
Bony, on £90,000-a-week at the Etihad, had been up for the move until January when he is expected to move to China.
But Everton are ready to offer around £20million to sign him on a permanent basis.
Bony joined City in January 2015 from Swansea for £28million, but has struggled to win a regular place in the first-team at the Etihad.
Imaginechina/REX/Shutterstock Bony has been restricted to the sidelines at City
Bottom-of-the-table Stoke are also hunting a goalscorer after struggling to land West Brom striker Saido Berahino.
The Potters are still hopeful of a deal but West Brom want £25million for Berahino even though he has just a year left on his contract.

A disgruntled West Brom fan has come up with a novel way to show his disdain for manager Tony Pulis - with a song that will make your ears bleed.
Dubbing his own lyrics on top of DJ Snake and Justin Bieber track "Let Me Love You", the frustrated Baggies supporter sings about his initial optimism before calling for Pulis to leave.
After bobbing his head around he begins: "I used to believe Pulis was going to do something beautiful, something beautiful."
He then shoehorns his own lyrics into the second verse: "But selling our players, now winning a game is like a miracle, like a miracle."
As the song's bridge kicks in the fan gets more scathing of his club's manager - and even more tuneless.
He says the club are in danger of "going down" before calling for Pulis to be sacked and claiming "we all hate you".
The fan later puts the performance to bed with a little dance for the camera.
REUTERS Tony Pulis probably won't be a fan of this song
Since appearing online, some viewers have commented to say they agree with the supporter - especially on the back of yesterday's snoozefest with Middlesbrough .
Many others have criticized his lyrics however, with one saying: "Hope he realises Pulis has kept them up?"
Another added: "As an Albion fan I personally wish we'd liquidate after this".

It takes a special kind of footballer to make an Arsenal player.
Yes, there's the Champions League matches, Premier League pressure and constant frustration of your own fans to contend with. But that's not why we think Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi would be a great fit for the Gunners.
The German international - who has been linked with a move to North London to bolster Arsenal's defensive options - has all the right personality traits to fit straight into Arsene Wenger's squad.
Just check out the video above and you'll see what we mean.
The clip proves that Mustafi…
Has very impressive - yet ultimately pointless - ball skills

Lost episodes of Doctor Who to be shown as cartoons half a century after they vanished

Patrick Troughton as The Doctor in Doctor Who
Six long-lost episodes of Doctor Who are to be revived as cartoons – 50 years after they were aired.
BBC Worldwide has commissioned a company to animate the 1966 classic six-part story The Power of the Daleks, featuring the first ever Doctor Who regeneration.
Patrick Troughton’s first outing as the Time Lord – taking over from William Hartnell – is the holy grail for fans, as it was only shown once in the UK and only sold overseas to Australia and New Zealand.
The film prints of the black-and-white fourth series were junked from the BBC archives during the early 70s.
Only a handful of short clips and cine film footage shot by a fan survive.
BBC Doctor Who's arch enemy the Daleks
In the story Patrick turns up instead of the old Doctor, telling his companions Ben and Polly that the Tardis helped him to renew himselff.
They remain sceptical but stand by him as he faces his most deadly foe – the Daleks – on the planet Vulcan.
The story has now been brought back to life, using state-of-the-art animation based on off-screen photos taken at the time.
One thing’s for certain – it’s a hell of a lot easier for cartoon Daleks to get up the stairs.

Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry set for Werder Bremen move on permanent deal

Moving on: Gnabry is set to return to Germany
Serge Gnabry will complete a permanent switch to Werder Bremen in the next 24 hours.
German winger Gnabry is discussing personal terms with Arsenal deciding to cash in after a lucrative offer with sell-on clauses.
Gnabry was outstanding at the Olympics but has struggled to settle at Arsenal and they have decided to let him go just a fortnight after offering him a new deal.
Bayern Munich had been linked with a move for the 21-year-old, with suggestions that the Bavarians would sign him and loan him to Werder.
Arsenal FC via Getty Training ground: But Gnabry has made few appearances for the Gunners
But Bremen sporting director Frank Baumann stated earlier today that Bayern are not involved in the deal.
"Serge Gnabry would like to play with us and talks with Arsenal are going well. FC Bayern have no influence on a potential transfer.
"We've agreed terms with the player and we're confident that the transfer will go ahead. We were interested in the player four years ago but unfortunately it didn't work out back then.
"We have reached an agreement with Arsenal but nothing has been finalised as of yet. [However] the transfer could be confirmed tomorrow morning."
Pedro Vilela Starring role: Gnabry was excellent for Germany in Brazil
Getty Didn't work out: Gnabry has failed to fly in the Premier League
Stuttgart-born Gnabry signed for Arsenal’s academy in 2011 but has only made a handful of senior appearances.
After netting six goals in six games en route to a silver medal in Brazil this summer for Germany's Under-23 side, Wenger had been keen to keep hold of the player, but Gnabry fancies the move and a fresh start.

Barcelona join Real Madrid at La Liga summit after header from Ivan Rakitic sinks Athletic Bilbao

www.mirror.co.uk

Barcelona were forced to work for maximum points after Athletic Bilbao refused to fold at San Mames Stadium.
Luis Enrique's star-studded side took an early lead after 21 minutes through the head of Ivan Rakitic.
The Croatian glanced in Arda Turan's caressed cross to perfection, completing a slick move begun by Luis Suarez.
It certainly wasn't all the champions' way, with keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen causing a scare by giving the ball away in his own area - a faux pas that would have left former boss Pep Guardiola fuming.
Lionel Messi went close early and squandered two chances in the second half while Suarez also will be disappointed with his missed opportunities.
Their hosts almost made Barca pay, surging in the closing stages with Raul Garcia going close.
And they could have snatched a draw through a free-kick from Benat but were agonisingly denied.
Barca now sit second in La Liga on goal difference behind Las Palmas, also unbeaten in their opening two games, and ahead of Madrid.

Double trouble: Everton's forward search is down to two
Ronald Koeman is determined to strengthen Everton 's attack by landing either Manolo Gabbiadini or Yacine Brahimi today.
Koeman thought he was close to landing Gabbiadini in a £20million deal from Napoli.
But the Serie A side will not sell before they sign a replacement, even though the Italian striker is keen on moving to Merseyside.
Koeman is also targeting Brahimi at Porto and the Algerian attacking midfielder is valued at around £30million.
Koeman will move for him if Napoli continue to stall and is anxious to sign back-up for Romelu Lukaku because Oumar Niasse is not part of his plans.
Claudio Villa Manolo Gabbiadini is an option Everton are looking at...

Megan McKenna has absolutely NO time for your bulls**t.
The fiery star has taken TOWIE by storm with her opinionated ways, and now she's set her sights on Twitter trolls.
After a commenter told the star to stop complaining about her life, Megan couldn't resist snapping back.
The troll told her: "@Megan_Mckenna_ moan moan bloody moan. Count yourself lucky some professionals eg nurses docs start at 6am everyday," before insisting that she should get a 'proper' job.
@Davey3184 yeah and people with normal jobs don't have to deal with constantly getting judged, online trolling and anxiety! So fuck off. — Megan McKenna (@Megan_Mckenna_) August 31, 2016
Brett Cove / Barcroft Media Megan opened up about her struggle with fame
But Megan was having none of it, and sure enough it didn't take long for her to come out with one of her classic comebacks.
Opening up about the pitfalls of being a celebrity, the sassy reality star spoke honestly about difficulties she faces being in the public eye.
She said: "Yeah and people with normal jobs don't have to deal with constantly getting judged, online trolling and anxiety! So f**k off."
It comes as Megan decided to weigh in on Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell's baby situation.
The TOWIE babe has warned Stephanie to stop cashing in on bad-mouthing Jeremy, who she repeatedly shames for not admitting he's apparently the father of her unborn son .
Rex Features The TOWIE star has a fiery temper
Squirrel / Splash News Megan has stuck up for Jeremy in the past
Writing in her column for Reveal magazine, Megan - who has known Jeremy for exactly as long as Stephanie - said: "I got a bit of hassle on Twitter for sticking up for Jeremy McConnell, who I was in CBB with last year, over his row with his pregnant ex Stephanie Davis .
"There’s always two sides to every story. I don’t agree with Jez cheating before he knew Steph was pregnant, but people have forgotten that she cheated first, on her ex-boyfriend with Jez… in front of the entire nation!"
Megan added: "Everyone’s feeling sorry for Steph because she’s pregnant an putting on the waterworks, but I don’t agree with bringing up a baby in a toxic relationship, that’s what Jez’s point is. "

When you're a sports journalist, you like to tell people how tough this job is.
The interviews. The pressure. The constant, relentless strive to get a top football name to answer a really tough question.
Sadly for us, the video above - which shows England boss Sam Allardyce meeting some young fans in an official video for The FA's YouTube channel - proves that this is job is, quite literally, child's play.
Take a look at the clip and you will see a group of young England fans - including two boys who actually applied for the England manager's job - getting a surprise during a tour of Wembley Stadium.
A surprise named Big Sam.
FATV
But the lads don't just get to meet the new England manager. They each get to ask Allardyce a question too.
And if you think these primary school children were simply going to ask him for his favourite colour or the name of his favourite player… think again.
Watch the video and you will see these young boys pose some belting questions.
He's grilled on his favourite formation…
FATV
His thoughts on players' salaries affecting their motivation when playing for England…
FATV
And why John Stones is the England player he can help improve immediately…
Fine work, little guys.
There are jobs waiting here for all of you when you leave school…

political editor Nigel Nelson
took Jeremy Corbyn's Virgin train to Newcastle and says it was a revelation

Nelson's Column: Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith are in need of bullet-proof tests
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Something has been bothering me. Though not enough to keep me awake at night.
Whenever I’ve seen a soldier’s 400 year old breastplate in a museum or antique shop there’s always a musket ball dent in it.
Yet it seems implausible that a bullet bounced off everyone who fought in the English Civil War.
As worries go it’s not up there with nuclear war or climate change, but as a history nerd such matters niggle.
Display: bullet-proof vests
I finally found the answer last week in a display at Newcastle’s old castle. Armourers who made this gear shot them with a pistol to guarantee they were “bullet-proof” - which is where the expression comes from.
There should be a political equivalent to stop politicians shooting themselves in the foot. Let’s call it making them “fool-proof”.
Jeremy Corbyn was a fool to sit outside a train khazi on his way to Newcastle calling for the nationalisation of the railways.
Had the train really been “ram-packed” it would have been a foolproof stunt. With seats available it was a foolish one.
SWNS MP looks for seat
On Sunday I took the same 11 o’clock Virgin East Coast service to Newcastle, the floor of which Corbers merrily rolled around 10 days earlier. It was crowded, and only a fool wouldn’t have booked a seat.
Jezza’s leadership challenger Owen Smith was also shot down for saying we should negotiate with Islamic State.
I know what he meant, but it needed expressing differently. Ultimately Britain negotiates with all terrorists, and Smithy knows that because he worked on the Northern Ireland peace process for three years talking to the IRA.
He should’ve said IS must be militarily defeated, and its remnants would need to stop chopping off heads and crucifying people. Then maybe, just maybe, a dialogue might begin.
As Smith himself admitted to BBC Radio 4: “You’ve got to weigh your language carefully. I have not been judicious enough about that.”
Rex Smith: watching his language
The moment the wrong words come out of politicians’ mouths we leap down their throats. That’s why the more experienced ones never say anything meaningful. Perhaps we should cut them some slack.
Like the breastplate, I’m glad I got that off my chest.
NELSON’S i
Comic James Martin tweets: “Make Islamic State leaders into Pokémon. They wouldn’t last 10 minutes before capture.”
Getty Pokemon Go: IS catcher
CRACKING THE WHIP
A proposed rule change at Labour’s Liverpool conference next month would allow a leader to be nominated by five per cent of MPs instead of 15 per cent as now.
It’s called the John McDonnell amendment because the shadow Chancellor tried twice for the leadership but couldn’t get the 37 signatures required. Thirteen, however, might be within his grasp.
Former minister Caroline Flint is outraged, and rightly so.
Flint: outraged
She storms: “It’s a golden ticket to any maverick, ego-driven, have-a-go MP from left or right.”
Carry on at this rate and another candidate with whiskers might end up as leader of the Labour Party - Larry the Number 10 cat.
Penguin goes up the p-p-p-pecking order
We laugh at Roman emperor Caligula for saying he could make his horse a senator. So I wonder what people will say 2,000 years from now about a penguin at Edinburgh Zoo becoming a brigadier having already p-p-p-picked up a knighthood. Sir Nils Olav is an honourary member of the King of Norway’s Guard and inspected 50 troops on Monday. Next step up the pecking order? Becoming an MP-p-p-p.
PA Honour guard: given the bird
Tony Blair's bishops' gambit
Sir Anthony Jay, co-writer of TV’s 1980s No10 sitcom Yes, Prime Minister, sadly died last week. Yes, PM even predicted the future. One episode deals with how the PM chooses between two candidates for bishop, and Tony Blair later faced an identical dilemma.
Very droll, Sir Humphrey
As Sir Humphrey put it when told one hopeful had been waiting for years: “Long time, no see.”
Toxic Tony's school is right on porn risk
Tony Blair’s old school Fettes College in Edinburgh has hired an internet porn expert to warn pupils of its dangers.
It can be as addictive for young people as drugs or alcohol and I’ve long thought it should form part of sex and relationship education.
So let’s hope Fettes relationship with Toxic Tony doesn’t put other schools off following its excellent example.

A song for Jeremy
Saturday is World Beard Day. If Jeremy Corbyn wants to celebrate he might care to adopt as his personal anthem the song to mark it by Australian band The Beards - You Should Consider Having Sex with a Bearded Man.

Rory McIlroy follows up an even par first round with a two-under on day two
Rory McIlroy showed signs of improvement as he continued his comeback from an ankle injury with a two-under-par round on day two at The Barclays.
The 27-year-old, who has not played since missing the cut at the PGA Championship almost a month ago, bettered Thursday's level-par effort at Bethpage Black.
McIlroy, down at number five in the world rankings and chasing his first PGA Tour win of the year, shot four birdies and two bogeys in a round of 69.
That left him six shots behind front-runner Patrick Reed, who led by two shots on eight under with seven holes to play in his round.
An encouraged McIlroy told Sky Sports 4: "I think one of the big things I'm really excited about are things are back to where they were before my ankle injury.
Getty McIlroy is encouraged by his return to form at The Barclays
"Even in the first part of this year my ball speed, my swing speed wasn't up to where I wanted it to be, but with that I can fully commit so I'm really happy with that.
"My wedge play hasn't been as good as I wanted it to be but off the tee and approach play from 150 and out has been great. Things I need to work on are from 150 in and obviously my putting."

Wilfried Bony completes Stoke switch after Potters pay £2million loan fee for Manchester City striker

www.mirror.co.uk

Stoke have confirmed the loan signing of Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony .
The Ivory Coast ace will spend the rest of the campaign for the Potters after they agreed a £2million fee for his services.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes said: “Bringing Wilfried in was a no-brainer for us to be perfectly honest, because he knows the Premier League and has scored plenty of goals at this level.
“He has power, speed and very good physical attributes which will undoubtedly help us, and his technical and finishing skills are outstanding too.
It’s a new day and I look forward to a new exciting challenge — Wilfried Bony (@wilfriedbony) August 31, 2016
“Eighteen months ago he was being bought for a hugely significant amount of money, so we know that we are bringing in a top quality striker."
Hughes knew his chances of landing Berahino in a club record £20million were receding fast and yesterday moved for Bony.
Manchester City have been trying to find a club for Bony all summer and Hughes feels the Ivory Coast hitman can beef up his attack.
Getty Bony will spend the rest of the campaign with the Potters
Bony, 27, scored 25 Premier League goals in 54 appearances for Swansea before his ill-fated £28million move to City in January 2015.
Bony's arrival could pave the way for Joselu to leave and the forward is not part of Hughes' first-team plans.

Mrs Brown's Boy star Rory Cowan has revealed that his dad never knew that he was gay.
The talented Dublin actor - who plays the gay son of Brendan O'Carroll 's TV mammy in the hit show - kept his sexuality a secret from his dad who passed away eight years ago but says that it gave the show's creator some ideas for storylines for the show.
He said: "My father was totally oblivious. He was very religious so I never came out to my father. My mam knew but I never said it to my mam either.
WENN Rory Cowan never came out to his parents
"She just knew. She never spoke to me about girlfriends - always friends. But I never said it to her because she then would've had to say it to my father.
"And I was sharing an apartment with a girl at one stage and he thought I should've made an honest woman out of her."
Rory doesn't expect the sequel to Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie to be released any time soon because Brendan O'Carroll hasn't written it yet.
He told the Star: "It is going to be at Brendan's pace. Brendan has to write it.
BBC Rory in Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas Special 2014
"We're doing two Christmas specials and then we're going to be doing a UK tour so I can't actually see it being out next year."
It comes as Mrs Brown's Boys was named best British sitcom of the 21st century .
Its creator and star Brendan O’Carroll called the result “breathtaking”.
He said: “It vindicates fans’ belief in the show. They kept us on the air. It certainly wasn’t the reviewers. I can die happy now... but I’ll take my time...”
WENN The actor is delighted by the show's popularity
A live episode last month attracted 8.82 million viewers.
Originally a radio show in 1992, Mrs Brown's Boys made its TV debut in 2011 and has become one of the biggest comedy shows on television.
Asked to account for the show's popularity, O'Carroll said in an interview on ITV's This Morning: "Everybody knows an Agnes or somebody like Agnes. It's either an aunt or a granny or a mother and everybody knows one.
"There's that angst that we all have when you hear that she's coming to the wedding.
BBC Mrs Brown's Boys
"You go, 'Oh my God - she'll be fine at the start, but as soon as there's one or two drinks she'll be up on the table dancing and waving her knickers in the air!'."
Ratings have climbed as high as 12 million viewers.
Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie, the big-screen adaptation, was also a huge hit in 2014.

One of Usain Bolt's former flames has dished the details on their relationship, revealing he once suggested they have a threesome - which she declined.
American model Nailah Dillard met the Olympic sprinter at an athletics gala in late 2013 and enjoyed a casual relationship with the 30-year-old for the next few years.
Nailah, 27, says she had no idea he was in a relationship with his 'First Lady' Kasi Bennett, until she read one of his interviews.
Speaking about his well-publicised wild celebrations since returning from Rio, she said: "I guess he thinks that’s what he deserves right now because he’s the fastest man in the world.”

The model added to The Sun : “You are sleeping with all these random women. I hope you’re protecting yourself.”
Nailah also spoke about their first meeting, saying he asked her to join him and his date who was there with him at the gala, but she refused.
“I thought it was an odd and cheeky thing to ask," she added to the newspaper.

Coleman has questioned whether Robson-Kanu will be physically ready
Euro 2016 hero Hal Robson-Kanu faces being omitted for Wales' World Cup opener as he is still without a club.
Wales striker Robson-Kanu became a free agent before the Euros after choosing to end his 12-year stay at Reading.
It looked a wise move as the 27-year-old then became a Euro 2016 sensation with his goals against Slovakia and Belgium helping Wales into the semi-finals of the competition.
Robson-Kanu's effort in the 3-1 quarter-final victory over Belgium, a firm shot past Thibaut Courtois after his Cruyff turn had bemused three defenders, was voted the BBC's goal of the tournament.
But there has been no announcement on Robson-Kanu's club future, even though he said in France that he had received offers from clubs both at home and abroad.
Matthew Horwood Robson-Kanu hit the headlines in Euro 2016 with a series of stellar performances
Wales meet Moldova on September 5, and manager Chris Coleman admitted Robson-Kanu's situation is a concern heading into that Cardiff clash.
Asked if having no club would count against Robson-Kanu regarding selection for their 2018 World Cup opener, Coleman said: "Yes, of course. We know what Hal's capable of.
"But I've got to look at the players in the training sessions and see who's ready, physically and psychologically. If I have to upset one or two it's not the first time I've done it.
"You don't want to, but you have to play your strongest team and I'll be picking the strongest team possible to get that result."
Clive Rose The striker bagged one of the goals of the tournament against Belgium
Burnley striker Sam Vokes would appear to be in pole position to lead the Wales forward line alongside Gareth Bale against Moldova.
Vokes scored his first Premier League goal against Liverpool last weekend and has impressed for the promoted Clarets this season.
Simon Church is getting familiar with a new environment at Dutch club Roda JC, while Robson-Kanu's future is expected to be resolved this week.
"Hal had a great tournament for us, an incredible campaign as well, so he's obviously attracted attention," said Coleman.
"I'm sure he's doing what's right for himself, and there's nothing wrong with that. But the sooner it's settled the better it is for us.
Stu Forster Coleman insists Robson-Kanu not having a club will count against him
"I'm hoping and praying that it will be done soon, because he can get on with it and we can get on with it."
Coleman said it is vital Wales begin the World Cup campaign in the same positive fashion that they attacked the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
On that occasion they took seven points from the first nine on offer and shrugged off the tag of being slow starters.
"How many times have we finished strong at the end of one campaign and say the next one is going to be the one?" said Coleman.
"Then wallop! Nothing. We've threatened before, promised everything and then delivered nothing.
"So this first one - and it doesn't matter if it's home or away - you set your stall out, set down a marker. That's what we're going for."

Footballer who left 14-year-old girl in coma after slipping her ecstasy during KISS avoids jail

A footballer who left a 14-year-old girl in a coma after giving her super-strength ecstasy during a kiss has avoided jail.
Stefan MacRitchie, 20, was with the teenager in the toilets of a New Year party when he passed the "Nintendo" pill from his mouth to hers.
A court heard the girl swallowed the class A drug before asking MacRitchie what it was, to which he replied: "Eccies", the Daily Record reports.
She was taken to hospital where doctors gave her a 50-50 chance of survival and warned of potential brain damage.
MacRitchie, who is on the books of Highland league side Strathspey Thistle, admitted supplying the drug at the party in 2014 when he appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court yesterday.
MacRitchie admitted supplying the class A drug at Inverness Sheriff Court yesterday
He was ordered to carry out 200 hours of community work and must remain under the supervision of a social worker for 18 months.
But the mother of his victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, slammed the sentence and said: “I’m shocked. Deep down inside I thought there’s no way they’ll let him walk away from this.
“Obviously, it would have taken my daughter to die and a murder charge for him to be put behind bars.
“We were lucky she survived. One of these days he will really harm someone.
“I’m shocked and disgusted. Petty criminals get put in jail for less.”
Speaking to the Record earlier this month, the girl’s mother described the horrific scenes “like something out of The Exorcist” as her daughter came down off the drug at the hospital.
She said: “My daughter was throwing herself off the bed, banging her head off it, crawling on the floor.
“It was like something out of the horror movie The Exorcist. She was black and blue. We were holding her, trying to keep her safe, but she was hallucinating, thinking things were coming out of the walls to get her.”
Her daughter was placed in an induced coma and doctors gave her a 50-50 chance of survival and warned of potential brain damage.
She has recovered physically but remains troubled by the incident and has withdrawn from most social events.
Yesterday, Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood was told by Mike Chapman, defending, that analysis showed the teenager had also consumed amphetamine, meth-amphetamine and an antidepressant.
Chapman said: “This was an impulsive offence carried out while he was under the influence of alcohol and ecstasy at the time.
“He accepts responsibility and does not place blame on the victim.
“He did not mean to cause her harm and no longer abuses illegal substances.”
Sheriff Fleetwood said: “This is an offence which could attract a custodial sentence but I can deal with it by a community based disposal because there is an alternative open to me.”

Joan Collins: I miss my sister Jackie every day... Now I'm there for Cliff, knowing what he went through
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Joan is giving her old pal Sir Cliff her full support
As scheming Alexis Colby in the sex and shoulder pads 80s supersoap Dynasty, Joan Collins took no prisoners. Likewise in soft-core movies The Bitch and The Stud, she was not a woman to mess with.
In real life, though? Assertive, definitely. Feisty, for sure. But a bitch, no.
Dame Joan Collins , it turns out, can be a real sweetheart.
Especially if you’re one of her friends, like Sir Cliff Richard , whose sister Donna Goulden died, aged 73, earlier this month .
Joan knows what her old pal is going through. Because it will soon be a year since she lost her younger sister Jackie to breast cancer, aged 77 .
Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic Sisters Joan and Jackie in 2014
She says: “I miss her every day. We were very close. Obviously it’s been a tough year.”
Joan and Cliff have been friends for more than three decades and she has been by his side through his tragedies.
She says: “He is a lovely, lovely man and a good friend. We went to stay with him in Barbados last year and I’ve known him for over 30 years.”
Sir Cliff, 75, is planning to sue the BBC after the corporation filmed his house being raided by South Yorkshire Police in 2014 .
It was part of a historical sex abuse inquiry which was dropped in June .
When his plans are mentioned, 83-year-old Joan’s feisty side comes out.
Getty Great pals Cilla Black and Sir Cliff with Joan
“Good,” she says. “When you have a reputation shredded to tatters by particular people, he has every right to take legal action. I hate the way Cliff has been hung out to dry. He never did it.
“I think what happens is when somebody comes to be so loved by the public, like Cliff, some people want to cut them down to size. It’s happened a lot.
“I think celebrities have to be careful where they tread these days. You have to watch what you say because everybody seems to have such a thin skin.”
Sir Cliff has garnered a lot of sympathy since the inquiry was dropped. But Joan’s loyalty stretches to chums who may, perhaps, be less popular.

“What do you think of Biggins?” she asks suddenly.
Christopher Biggins, 67, is a close friend of the actress and was booted off Channel 5’s Celebrity Big Brother after cracking a sick anti-semitic joke . Before I can answer, Joan says: “He is one of my best friends. I feel very sorry for him. He is not nasty.
Getty Glamorous... The sisters pictured together back in 1974
“He is one of the kindest, most gentle, most charitable human beings who has ever lived.”
Like Biggins, Joan is no stranger to controversy. Earlier this year she came out in support of Brexit when she said “this tiny island” is “going to sink into the sea” because of immigration.
She also hinted at her support for Donald Trump when she said she modelled her famous Dynasty character Alexis Colby on the right-wing Republican presidential candidate.Whether she regrets those comments, we’ll never know.
Because, despite being an actor who recently talked about politics, she announces: “I’m not going to talk about politics, I don’t think actors should talk about politics.”
What actors are qualified to talk about, though, is showbusiness. Few more so than Dame Joan, who has been a Hollywood star for more than 60 years.
ALAN OLLEY/SCOPEFEATURES.COM Sir Cliff at home in Surrey with sisters Donna (left) and Jacqui in 2000
The daughter of a dance teacher and a theatrical agent, she trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and signed to Rank Studios in 1951 at the age of 17.
Five years later the legendary Hollywood director Howard Hawks chose her for Land Of The Pharaohs, a big-budget epic.
She left England for Hollywood and went on to appear in television shows like Batman and Star Trek as well as making several of those notorious Bitch and Stud movies, based on her sister’s novels.
But her big comeback was playing Alexis the super schemer in Dynasty from 1981-89.
Alexis was a strong female character and Joan has strong views about how women are treated on TV and in the movies.
“I think it is time we stopped defining people by their ages,” she says.
Getty Joan and Jackie were very close
“I think people should be defined by as old as they act, look and feel. I know many women not in showbusiness who absolutely refuse to talk about their ages or tell anybody how old they are. Sadly they are obsessed with it, but with women and not with men.
“Women have to be a lot better at what they do than men because they are judged more severely.
“They are judged not only on their work output but on their appearance and their attitude.
“There was a certain amount of that during Dynasty.
“There was a misogynistic side to some of the producers – an attitude of ‘why should she tell us what to do?’.
“Women who are strong and assertive are too often called bossy bitches, men who are strong and assertive are called strong and assertive businessmen.”
Joan and Stephanie Beacham in Dynasty
Take it as read, then, that Joan is happy to portray herself as a strong and assertive woman.
One not without her anxieties, however. There are several moments during our interview when she falls silent as a thunderstorm rages around her French home. “I hope I don’t get hit by it,” she says.
Hopefully the weather will be less threatening in the UK when Joan takes her one-woman show on the road.
She will visit 12 towns and cities with her Joan Collins Unscripted show, where the audience will ask her questions.
“I have several new stories I’m going to tell on stage,” she says.
Getty Joan will be taking her unscripted show across the UK
“People want to hear about the golden days of Hollywood, but most of this show is going to be in the hands of the audience. They will be able to ask me any question they want. Except politics.”
And then she shrieks: “Oh god, that’s lightning,” before returning to her tour, saying: “As long as somebody doesn’t ask me who the best kisser is in the movies...although that is quite a
fun question.”
While this could be Joan’s final tour, she won’t become a couch potato.
“I’ve written 16 books and I’ll probably write another one. I’m on tour and I’m a very active person,” she says.
“My mother used to call me Miss Perpetual Motion because I never kept still.”
Joan’s husband, film producer Percy Gibson, will be master of ceremonies for the stage show. Their 14-year marriage is Joan’s fifth – and also her longest. She credits Percy, 32 years her junior, with being
her “soulmate”.
WireImage Joan says husband Percy Gibson is her 'soulmate'
She says: “We are with each other 24/7. We love each other. We bicker and banter. I have finally found my person.”
After riding the storms of four previous marriages, Dame Joan deserves this period of calm.

Spotify denies "punishing" artists like Katy Perry and Frank Ocean who sign exclusive deals with rival Apple by making their music harder to find

Spotify vs Apple Music: Spotify denies punishing artists who sign exclusive deals with Apple Music
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Spotify has refuted claims it downgrades the music of artists who sign exclusive deals with Apple Music, making it more difficult to find their back catalogues on its own service.
The denial comes after several anonymous reports, claiming that Spotify does not give as much promotion to music that has been previously released under exclusive deals with rival streaming services.
Executives from two major labels reportedly told the New York Times that Spotify does not feature these tracks as heavily, or include them in playlists on its own service.
Spotify's biggest playlists generate more than one billion streams a week, and are considered a crucial part of breaking into the music charts and boosting singles "sales" - so being left off is a big deal.
PA Katy Perry performs at Summertime ball
Katy Perry's decision to release her Olympics-associated single "Rise" last month on Apple Music - one week before its Spotify debut - heavily affected the track's global chart performance, according to Music Business Worldwide .
The single, Perry's first in two years, reached only number 11 in the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 25 in the UK's Official Singles Chart.
Rather than reflecting Perry's dwindling popularity, the poor rankings are due to Spotify's decision to exclude Rise from its Today's Top Hits playlist, which has 10.2 million followers, and Spotify's New Music Friday list.
A separate report from Bloomberg alleged that Spotify deliberately makes it harder to find the same artists' songs, and excludes them from influential playlists.
The decision could be interpreted as Spotify's way of dissuading artists from signing exclusive deals, which would then ultimately harm their performance on Spotify's streaming platform.
Reuters
However, Spotify has denied the claim that it buries songs, calling it "unequivocally false". The Swedish company has not commented on the playlist allegations.
"We’re not really in the business of paying for exclusives, because we think they’re bad for artists and they’re bad for fans," Spotify's head of communications told the Verge .
"Artists want as many fans as possible to hear their music, and fans want to be able to hear whatever they’re excited about or interested in - exclusives get in the way of that for both sides.
"Of course, we understand that short promotional exclusives are common and we don't have an absolute policy against them, but we definitely think the best practice for everybody is wide release."
And it seems that some music labels agree.
Lucian Grainge, chairman of Universal Music, recently called for an end to long-term exclusive deals with streaming services, according to the New York Times .

The move comes after Frank Ocean released his long-awaited second album Blonde on August 20, in an exclusive deal with Apple Music and on his own music label, Boys Don't Cry.
Ocean had fulfilled his contract with Def Jam and its parent record label Universal Music Group by releasing a separate visual album of videos the day before.
By cutting out the larger label, Ocean has already made $1 million, according to Forbes.
Drake's Views, the best-selling album released this year to date, was initially an Apple Music exclusive.

Bride-to-be who wanted 'no fuss' hen party rescued by RNLI after boat trip goes awry

A bride-to-be who wanted a 'no fuss' hen party had to be rescued by the RNLI after a boat trip went awry.
Amy Sanderson and her three friends had planned a 'low key' day to celebrate the upcoming wedding with a sail on the River Dart, near Dartmouth in Devon.
But the group had to be rescued by emergency crews after getting stuck in the mud as the tide went out on Saturday evening.
Amy along with friends Laura White, Ann Peters and Natalie Pyne were transferred to a lifeboat using mud mats by the local RNLI crew shortly before 7.30pm.

An RNLI spokesman said the women were cold but otherwise unhurt and were taken to the lifeboat station for a hot drink.
He added: "The irony is the bride to be had requested a 'no fuss and low key' day.
"The hens who had arranged the day thought an afternoon afloat on the beautiful River Dart would set the mood for dinner in Dartmouth in the evening. Best laid plans and all of that.
"I don't think they will ever forget the hen party. Amy, all at Dart RNLI wish you a wonderful wedding day and don't forget to send us a snap."

Grandfather fined £100 for spending too long in McDonalds car park

Robert Newton drove off but came back 10 minutes later with his grandchildren
A granddad claims he was handed a £100 fine for spending too long in a McDonald's car park after he went twice on the same day.
Robert Newton popped into the fast-food chain's restaurant on his way to pick up his grandchildren.
Feeling peckish, the 59-year-old had a deli chicken wrap and eat it in the car park , before driving off 10 minutes later.
After picking up his granddaughter and grandson in nearby Gillingham, Kent, he then went back to the restaurant to buy them a Happy Meal.
Once he had ordered, Robert again parked in the restaurant car park in Sittingbourne, Kent, so his grandchildren could eat their meals and left shortly afterwards.
But he was shocked to receive a letter from company which operates the car park claiming he owes them £100 for spending more than two hours on the land.
SWNS The 59-year-old was shocked to receive a letter from the car parking management company in the post
Robert said: "I drove though the drive-thru and parked up in the car park to eat it and then drove off and out of the car park about 10 minutes later.
"I then drove to Sheerness to pick up my grandson Connor and granddaughter Ellie as they were staying with my wife Deborah and I for a week during the summer holidays.
"I decided I would pop back into the McDonald's on the way back to Gillingham to get them both a Happy Meal.
"A week later I got a letter from the firm which operates McDonald's car parks which stated I had overstayed my allowed time in there.
"The letter said I'd been parked up there for 123 minutes - that's more than two hours.
"It is stupid their cameras can clock me going in for my meal but not going out again but can then clock me going out later with the grandchildren.
"The system does not work properly and getting a letter telling me I owe £100 is not a laughing matter.
"I don't understand how the camera didn't see that I had exited the car park and then drove back in later."
SWNS The letter allegedly said he had been parked for 123 minutes
Robert, who suffers from arthritis, said he intended to appeal.
A McDonald's spokesperson added: "At a number of our restaurants, parking restrictions are in place to ensure there is adequate parking for all customers.
"Where restrictions are in place, we work with industry-approved contractors to ensure any restrictions are clearly signposted and communicated.
"McDonald's does not profit from any penalty charges and if a customer feels they have been wrongly ticketed we would encourage them to get in touch with the third party contractor who issued the ticket."

Funny Twitter reactions reveal true awfulness of West Brom vs Middlesbrough

Dire. Mind-numbing. Awful. Horrendous. Soporific. Dreadful. Largely pointless.
Just some of the many words and phrases that are currently being used to sum up the goalless draw played out between West Brom and Middlesbrough at the Hawthorns.
On the most inappropriately named 'Super Sunday' of all time, Tony Pulis' Baggies and Aitor Karanka's Boro took part in a game of football that had no incident whatsoever. There was nothing to report on. NOTHING HAPPENED.
In fact, it may still be August, but we can confidently say this 0-0 draw will be the worst game of the 2016/17 Premier League season.
So, the fact it was (for some reason) broadcast live on Sky Sports meant the Twitter reaction was… well…
BRILLIANT:

Rex The star gushed about Drake
Fans were loving the sign, with one writing on Instagram: "You two should get married already."
Another added: "what a cute and sweet boy! Don't talk more just marry him Riri."
It has stirred up rumours the pair are an item again after months of rumours and flirting on-stage during the Bajan singer's Anti World Tour.
Meanwhile, Rihanna will also perform live at the VMAs tomorrow at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where she's being recognised for her "decade-long impact on music, pop culture,
fashion, film and philanthropy" MTV explained.

Barcroft Media Drake is a big fan of RiRi
Rihanna tweeted after the announcement: "Honored to take the #VMAs stage as your video #VANGUARD award recipient LIVE from NYC on August 28! (sic)"
Previous recipients of the coveted award include the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and Kanye West.
MTV explained: "Rihanna's unparalleled output of hits have spawned some of today's most memorable music videos from Umbrella to We Found Love, Diamonds and her most recent collaboration with Drake
on Work."
The star has previously won two Video Music Awards and sold more than 61 million albums, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Late actors Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were "not really friends" off-screen, Pryor's daughter has revealed.
The pair were an ideal comedy double act on screen and co-starred in four films: Silver Streak, Stir Crazy, See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Another You.
But Pryor's daughter Rain revealed a different side to the duo's friendship in a tribute posted on Facebook.
People always ask. "Were Gene Wider and Dad friends?" I always answered "Not really, however they saw each... https://t.co/MlqQdU3UiA — Rain Pryor (@RainPryor) August 29, 2016
The 47-year-old actress wrote: "People always ask. 'Were Gene Wilder and Dad friends?' I always answered 'Not really, however they saw each other's genius and created hit films and were the best comedy film friends of all time.'
Columbia Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder starred together in See No Evil, Hear No Evil
Columbia The pair also starred in Another You in 1991
"They to me, were the antithesis of how chemistry on film doesn't always mean it translates off. Gene was a true grownup and I never saw him party. Dad was younger and we all know, he liked to party. The two together accepted the other.
Splash Rain Pryor said her dad and Gene Wilder 'weren't really friends' off screen
"However, nothing could beat their magic on screen nor ever will. #RIPGeneWilder #ComedyRoyalty #ComicGenius."
Wilder died on Monday aged 83 after a secret three-year battle with Alzheimer's disease .

Thousands of women with heart attack symptoms misdiagnosed

Thousands of women are having heart attacks misdiagnosed - with fatal consequences
Thousands of women having heart attacks are misdiagnosed – often with fatal consequences.
The condition is 50% more likely to be missed in women than in men, with many female patients wrongly told they have other conditions such as indigestion.
Women whose heart attacks are not diagnosed are 70% more likely to die, according to a British study presented at the world’s biggest heart conference.
Dr Mike Knapton of the British Heart Foundation, which helped fund the study, said: “The difference is alarmingly high.”
Experts fear doctors and patients mistakenly believe heart attacks affect only fat middle-aged men who smoke.
Dr Chris Gale, who worked on the nine-year review of 600,000 patients, said: “We need to work harder to shift the perception that heart attacks only affect a certain type of person. If you watch something like ER on TV it’s just blokes with high blood pressure. This is not always the case.
Thinkstock Women whose heart attacks are not diagnosed are 70% more likely to die, according to a British study presented at the world’s biggest heart conference
“Heart attacks affect the wider spectrum of the population – including women.”
Around 28,000 women die from heart attacks every year across the country – an average of 77 a day. Every three minutes someone in the UK suffers a coronary. Being diagnosed quickly and correctly is vital to ensure the best chance of recovery.
Dr Gale told the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology in Rome: “The risk is that a woman presents late as she doesn’t recognise she’s having a heart attack.
"She goes to her GP, and they don’t call for an ambulance so instead she goes to A&E eventually, and by the time she sees a specialist it’s a late diagnosis.
“When people with a heart attack receive the wrong initial diagnosis, there are potentially important clinical repercussions, including an increased risk of death.”
Getty Around 28,000 women die from heart attacks every year across the country
Almost a third of patients had an initial diagnosis that differed from their final one, found the University of Leeds study published in the European Heart Journal Acute Cardiovascular Care today.
A heart attack is caused when a blood clot forms in a narrowed coronary artery, cutting off the blood supply to the heart.
Symptoms vary, but the most common are tightness, pain or a burning feeling in the chest, pain in the arms, neck, jaw, back or stomach, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting.
NHS England said: “Survival rates for heart attacks are the best they have ever been, and swift diagnosis and treatment is key to this. We are working hard to continually improve tests for accurately diagnosing heart attacks in both men and women.
“We are also working to increase awareness of signs and symptoms of heart attack among both the public and healthcare professionals to help speed up diagnosis.”
Heart attack horror
Alison Fillingham was diagnosed two days late
Former nurse Alison Fillingham, 49, did not recognise the symptoms of her heart attack 11 weeks ago – and was misdiagnosed.
The mum from Bolton said: “I had pain in my collarbone and neck for two days. When it spread to my jaw I called an ambulance.
“They said it was just a panic attack. Later I was diagnosed as having had a heart attack. I wish I’d recognised the symptoms and called the ambulance immediately.”

Leicester City 2-1 Swansea City: Champions back to winning ways thanks to captain Morgan
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
The Champions got their first win of the season despite Riyad Mahrez having a penalty saved.
Jamie Vardy opened the scoring with a fierce right-foot finish in off the post in the 32 minute as Leicester dominated.
After the break skipper Wes Morgan slammed in a right-foot volley after a corner dropped kindly for him in the 52 minute.
The Foxes blew a penalty after Shinji Okazaki was brought down but Mahrez's low spot kick was saved by Lukasz Fabianski to his right in the 56 minute.
REUTERS Get in: Jamie Vardy gets back among the goals...
Getty ...And he was more than happy about it
They then lost keeper Kasper Schmeichel to injury moments later as Ron-Robert Zieler made his debut.
Swansea improved to pull a goal back 10 minutes from time from Leroy Fer's towering header from Modou Barrow's cross, and although they pushed for an equaliser, Claudio Ranieri's men held out.
Here's five things we learned:
1. Jamie Vardy back on song
Getty Always chasing: Vardy was always a major threat
Leicester's £100,000-a-week striker had failed to score in his first two League games or even have a shot on target.
But he caused the visitors problems from the start here with his pace. He smashed in his first goal in emphatic style with a fierce right-foot effort.
2. Danny Drinkwater marks new deal in style
2016 Getty Images Flying through: Drinkwater put in another fine showing
Danny Drinkwater joined Leicester's key men in committing themselves to the club on a lucrative long-term deal this week.
He deserved his improved terms, worth around £90,000-a-week, after a brilliant season last term.
He underlined his value to the side with an all-action display including a fine assist for Vardy's opener
3. Claudio Ranieri's tactical evolution
REUTERS Tweaking: Ranieri made a number of crucial moves
The Leicester boss wasn't once previously dubbed 'The Tinkerman' for nothing.
Against Swansea he brought in the impressive Daniel Amartey to anchor the midfield and ordered his full-backs to push on to combat Swansea sitting deep early on.
Amartey, making just his second League start since a January move from Copenhagen, was everywhere and eased the loss of N'Golo Kante
4. Swansea look ripe for relegation
REUTERS The relegator: Fer already has two relegations on his cv
Last season Swansea lost 4–0 here so this was an improvement but lingering doubts about boss Francesco Guidolin's suitability for the Premier League remain.
Having sold stalwart Ashley Williams, Swansea look leaky at the back and newboy Fernando Llorente hardly had a sniff upfront
5. Leicester fans look forward to Europe
REUTERS Keeper change: The Foxes lost Kasper Schmeichel to injury
Thursday's Champions League draw has clearly got City fans licking their lips in excitement.
Trips to Bruges, Porto and Copenhagen await with home fans singing: “We're all going on a European tour, dilly ding, dilly dong!”

James McCarthy could be heading north of the border
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is trying to push through a last-minute loan deal for Everton's James McCarthy .
Despite publicly insisting he wants McCarthy to stay, it is unlikely the Everton midfielder will feature in Ronald Koeman's plans. Rodgers wants to get him until January.
Crystal Palace stated their interest in signing the Ireland international earlier in the window on a permanent deal.
But Palace were put off by the Blues' £20m asking price.
McCarthy has started two of the Toffees' opening three Premier League fixtures and signing a long-term contract last season, but his future appears to lie away from the club.

The legendary musician reportedly passed away on Sunday, after paramedics were called to a residence in Santa Monica.

Emile Weaver, 21, hid her unexpected pregnancy from her university friends, then did the unthinkable

College student gave birth on the toilet and threw her newborn baby in the bin after denying pregnancy
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Emile claimed that her baby girl was dead when she gave birth to her
Student Emile Weaver had a secret and she was doing everything she could to hide it. She wore baggy clothes to lectures, held pillows in front of her stomach and drank alcohol with her friends like she’d always done.
There were whispers going around the university that Emile, 21, was pregnant, but she fiercely denied it.
She had big plans to pass her exams and keep partying. A baby would have been a huge inconvenience – but when Emile went into labour, she finally had to face up to the truth. Hours later, she sent a text to the boy she thought was the father.
She wrote: "No more baby."
Emile had taken drastic action to make sure her newborn daughter stayed a secret.
Emile attended the Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio. She’d moved there from the small town of Clarington in 2013 and, by the autumn of 2014, she’d become a member of the
Delta Gamma Theta sorority – "a sisterhood dedicated to love and loyalty" – and was living in a shared stone house known as
The Castle.
As well as studying, Emile talked about tanning, football and drinking on social media. She was a typical young woman with her whole life ahead of her – but an unexpected pregnancy was threatening it all.
Emile’s housemates knew something was wrong. They could see she was putting on weight and wearing baggy clothes. When Emile hung out with them, she’d hold a pillow or a stuffed toy in front of her stomach.
Rumours that she was pregnant started in the autumn of 2014, but Emile carried on drinking, smoking cannabis and even took part in a high contact dodgeball tournament.
Hiding the evidence
In early September 2014, Emile had visited the university’s wellness centre for birth control. As standard, she had to take a pregnancy test. It came back positive but Emile didn’t respond to phone calls, text messages or a letter they sent out. She carried on as normal.
On April 22, 2015, Emile sent a text to the boy she thought was the father of the baby and told him that the pregnancy had been "taken care of", adding that there was "no more baby".
When he asked for details, Emile told him she’d gone into labour the day before but the baby had died when there were complications.
But Emile hadn’t gone to hospital. So what had happened to her baby?
Googlemaps Muskingum University in Zanesville, Ohio
That morning, the sorority house manager went into the bathroom that Emile shared. There was blood all over the toilet and the floor. She assumed the mess was from one of the students’ periods, and sent a message to all the girls in the house demanding the room was cleaned up by whoever was responsible.
"It looks like a murder scene," she wrote.
That evening, the rumours started spreading between a few of the sorority girls. Emile had been acting strangely – now there was blood all over the bathroom floor. One housemate said she’d heard noises that sounded like a dying cat in the early morning.
They were sure Emilie had had a baby. One student decided to check the rubbish bins outside the house. They cut a hole in one of the bin bags and made a shocking discovery. Inside was the body of a 6lb 10oz baby girl.
The police were called and started investigating. Emile confided in her roommate that she’d had a miscarriage. Her mum took her to the Camden Clark Medical Center in Parkersburg, West Virginia, for a check-up, where Emile told staff she’d had stomach cramps and had found a four-inch long mass of tissue that "looked like a baby" when she went to the bathroom.
It didn’t add up. Doctors could tell Emile had carried the baby to full term – and the body found was a fully formed baby.
Emile was brought in for questioning and her story changed. She told investigators that she’d given birth on the toilet, then removed the placenta. She’d left the bathroom to get a knife from the kitchen to cut the umbilical cord and when she came back, she was certain the baby girl was dead because there was no movement.
"I thought the baby was gone," she said.
She tried to clean some of the mess, put the baby in the bag and left it outside with the rubbish.
Left to die
But a coroner reported that the baby girl died from asphyxiation and was alive and taking breaths when she was placed in the bag. She’d suffocated. An autopsy also revealed that the boy Emile thought was the father, wasn’t.
Emile was arrested and held on a £750,000 bail. When news of what she’d done was made public, the local community was horrified. The state of Ohio had introduced a Safe Haven law which allows mothers to give up their babies anonymously at a fire station, a police office or a hospital within 30 days of birth. There was no need for Emile’s baby to die. She was named Addison Grace and given a funeral.
At first, Emile pleaded not guilty on the grounds of insanity, but the judge denied her claim and said she was mentally competent to stand trial. She faced a jury this year. Emile told the court she didn’t know for sure that she was pregnant and was in denial.
She claimed she didn’t look at the pregnancy results that were sent to her by the campus health centre, but her friends testified
that Emile was doing plenty to try and hide her growing bump.
Emile tried to explain it to the court, "I said 'no' so many times that in my mind none of this was happening," she said.
MySpace Emile carried on partying throughout her pregnancy
The prosecutor told Emile she knew very well that she was pregnant and going into labour in the bathroom was no surprise. They said that, during the pregnancy, she’d done everything to try and end it by drinking, doing contact sports and even taking labour inducing tablets.
"She wanted Addison dead," the prosecutor said. "Whether it was during her pregnancy or after birth, it didn’t matter. She didn’t want the baby."
In May this year, the jury found Emile guilty of aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and two counts of tampering with evidence. At sentencing, Emile was given life without a chance of parole.
It was a tough sentence which the judge said reflected her lack of remorse.
"You tried over and over to take that baby’s life," he said, referring to her reckless behaviour while pregnant. He also said that the text Emile sent saying she’d "taken care of" her daughter was probably the most truthful statement she made that day.
"It was an inconvenience, and you took care of it," he added.
Emile plans to appeal.
"Words cannot express how sorry I am to my beautiful daughter Addison," she said. "I ask God for forgiveness, and today, all I can do is ask for all of yours."
With the Safe Haven law, baby Addison could have been saved. Instead, Emile threw her away with the rubbish. The court decided her actions were unforgiveable.

US Open draw: Andy Murray lands Lukas Rosol in first round as fellow Brits are handed tough tasks first up

British No 1 Johanna Konta will play American Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the first round of the US Open.
Fellow Britons Aljaz Bedene and Kyle Edmund were both handed tough opponents, with Bedene up against Australian firebrand Nick Kyrgios and Edmund facing experienced Frenchman Richard Gasquet.
Dan Evans will have been pleased with his pick, however. He plays American wildcard Rajeev Ram and should fancy his chances of making the second round.
In the women's draw, British No 1 Konta, now ranked 14th in the world, was drawn against American doubles specialist Bethanie Mattek-Sands.
Mattek-Sands won both the Australian and French Open women's doubles titles last year but her achievements are less noteworthy in singles, having never gone past the fourth round of a major tournament.
GETTY Johanna Konta will play American Bethanie Mattek-Sands in round one
Britain's Heather Watson and Naomi Broady will have to wait to find out their first-round opponents after they were both pitted against qualifiers.
Laura Robson could also join her compatriots in the main draw. She takes on Germany's Tatjana Maria in the final round of qualifying on Friday.
Murray has won both of his previous meetings against world No 82 Rosol but it was their most recent clash in Germany that was particularly memorable.
Rosol appeared to bump into Murray at the change of ends, prompting the Briton to complain to the umpire and then shout to his opponent that he was an unpopular member of the tour.
If he comes through, Murray's route looks relatively kind given he has avoided Rafael Nadal, who landed in the top half with defending champion Novak Djokovic, as well as the nightmare early encounter with an unseeded Juan Martin del Potro.

Del Potro, still ranked 142nd in the world as he returns from injury, pushed Murray all the way at the Olympic final in Rio this month but dropped into Wawrinka's quarter. A reunion with Murray in the semi-finals is certainly not out of the question.
Before then, Murray could meet Spain's Marcel Granollers, French baseliner Gilles Simon, veteran Feliciano Lopez and maybe 2014 US Open finalist Kei Nishikori in the quarter-finals.
The 29-year-old Scot is bidding to claim his fourth grand slam title and extend a superb summer that has included winning Wimbledon, as well as a second Olympic singles gold medal.
To do so he may well have to overcome Djokovic, the champion at four of the last five major tournaments, but who endured surprise early exits both at Wimbledon and in Brazil. The Serb plays Poland's Jerzy Janowicz in round one.
Serena Williams can overtake Steffi Graf's Open era record of 22 grand slam titles if she triumphs at Flushing Meadows. The American has been handed a tricky opening tie against Russia's Ekaterina Makarova in a repeat of the 2014 semi-final, which Williams won.

Syrian toddler burned by napalm smeared with cold mud to ease her pain as it's only treatment they have to help her

This is the heartbreaking moment a Syrian toddler severely burned by a napalm bomb was covered in cold mud to help ease her pain.
The mud is reported to be the only treatment available for Syrians who have suffered serious burns dropped by Syrian warplanes.
The harrowing footage was filmed in the rebel-held neighbourhood of Al-Waer in the city of Homs.
It shows the young girl crying out as locals attempt to bandage her wounds and cool her burns by smearing mud over her head.
A doctor in the district told Al-Jazeera: "After the bombing by war planes stopped, they began firing napalm. Some of the patients were burned."
Twitter/HadiAlabdallah Heartbreaking footage shows the toddler being smeared with cold mud
An activist in the city told The Telegraph : "You make the burn even worse if you use water so they looked around and they used the mud.
"They use mud because there is no medication and with napalm you can't use water."
Napalm bombs burn at 2,200C and can melt human flesh down to the bone.
Twitter/HadiAlabdallah Doctors claim it is the only treatment they have for burns
The bombs are banned by international convention but Syria's government has not signed up to an agreement forbidding them to be dropped in built-up urban areas.
Homs, Syria's third largest city, was at the centre of an uprising against president Bashar al-Assad that broke out in 2011.
Twitter/HadiAlabdallah The footage was filmed in the city of Homs
Al-Waer remains the last neighbourhood in the city still held by the rebels.
The latest assault raises fears Assad's forces are trying to force al-Waer's rebel leaders to surrender.

09:49 Craig Johns What NUFC will accept for Sissoko We’re told they’ll accept no less than this... 2016 Getty Images
09:47 Craig Johns What NUFC got for their Riviere money This really isn’t good. The club have had some real bad players from France in recent years and Riviere has got to be right up there with the worst. They paid a fee of around £6million - plus his wages on top - for the French striker and in two seasons this was his return: Emmanuel Riviere's Newcastle United statistics 31 Appearances 3 Goals 1 Assists
09:34 Craig Johns NUFC's Sissoko compared to France's Sissoko This is a brilliant graphic from stats specialists Squawka. How Sissoko compares for Newcastle compared to France. If he ends up at Tottenham today, which Sissoko will they be getting?
09:26 Craig Johns NUFC confirm Riviere loan They said in a statement: Newcastle United striker Emmanuel Riviere has joined Spanish side Osasuna on loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy. The 26-year-old arrived on Tyneside from Monaco in July 2014 but has only made 31 appearances in all competitions since, scoring three goals, and hasn’t featured in competitive action since the beginning of March. Riviere will now play for Los Rojillos, who are 14th in La Liga, for the remainder of the 2016/17 campaign.
09:15 Craig Johns Jamie Sterry joins Coventry Another done deal: Young defender Jamie Sterry has joined Coventry City on loan.
09:07 Craig Johns Sissoko leaves France training Speaking of Sissoko, France national team have just tweeted saying they’re allowing Sissoko to depart their training base to finalise a transfer. Very interesting development. That translates: . @MoussaSissoko has been authorized by #Deschamps to leave Clairefontaine at 9 to finalize his transfer. Direction Bari for the group.
09:04 Craig Johns Ex-LFC player wants Sissoko Ex-Liverpool midfielder David Thompson, who last season had a spell in the North East playing for Seaton Delaval, has tweeted his desire to see Liverpool sign Sissoko from Newcastle today. However, our sister paper the Liverpool Echo are currently reporting that they aren’t expecting any ins at Anfield today.
08:47 Craig Johns DONE DEAL: Riviere departs on loan First transfer deal of the day complete for Newcastle. Riviere has departed for Osasuna. The deal is a season-long loan.
08:24 Lee Ryder Rafa away Rafa Benitez is heading to the UEFA Elite Club Coaches Forum in Nyon today. But still in touch with staff for #DeadlineDay Lee Charnley remains #NUFC deal maker and will oversee bulk of business
08:15 Craig Johns Emmanuel Riviere to exit today One man almost certainly heading for the exit doors today is Emmanuel Riviere. The striker is not wanted on Tyneside after a nightmare spell at the club and, providing there’s no Tiote-style hiccups, he should be announced as an Osasuna player today.
08:13 Craig Johns What will happen with Moussa Sissoko? Here’s Lee Ryder’s thoughts on what will happen with Moussa Sissoko today...
07:41 Craig Johns Christian Atsu's agent confirms move Well he we are then, Christian Atsu’s agent has announced the deal to Newcastle. Not sure this will go down to well with club officials but hey ho, we aren’t complaining!
07:40 Craig Johns Moussa Sissoko latest Newcastle United are expecting more bids for Moussa Sissoko today, after a bid that Lee Ryder describes as derisory last night. What’s more, should Sissoko leave, that could prompt Rafa into the transfer market once more. It could be one of those days where deals depend on deals.

so he can still tuck into his favourite kebab

David Blastock has had his town centre ban lifted because of his favourite late night snack
An ASBO yob successfully overturned an after-dark town centre ban - so he can tuck into his favourite kebab .
David Blastock, 29, was banned from Great Yarmouth seafront following a spate of booze-fuelled crimes .
Fed-up police asked magistrates to impose the 6pm to 6am ban to prevent further trouble.
But the cheeky crook complained he would be unable to visit his favourite kebab shop as a result.
Astonishingly magistrates in the town agreed to amend the order after he appealed to them in person.
East Anglia News Service The map shows the area Balstock was originally banned from
Blastock is now able to visit UK Express Kebab Shop on Marine Parade between the hours of 11pm and midnight.
He told the court that he tucks into his favourite takeaway every night and could not go without it.
Norfolk Police objected to the exemption but it was granted by magistrates on Monday.
Blastock can only go onto the road for the “sole purpose” of attending the busy kebab shop.
He faces being arrested if he buys a kebab before 11pm - or loiters around after midnight to finish it.
Great Yarmouth independent borough council Robert Connell described the ruling as “bizarre”.
East Anglia News Service The UK Express kebab shop in Great Yarmouth, which is Blaistock's favourite
He said: “There are a few kebab shops outside the Marine Parade area. Why can’t he just go to one of those if he’s hungry?
“I am sure the kebabs at his favourite takeaway are very tasty, but they are also very nice at other places in the town.
“I just can’t see why he has to go into Marine Parade to eat. It makes no sense.”
Blastock, from Great Yarmouth, was given a ‘Crasbo’ in February after being convicted of being drunk and disorderly.
His previous offences include convictions for assault, threatening behaviour, criminal damage and making nuisance calls.
The order banned him from entering an area around the Market Gates shopping centre between 6pm and 6am.
Getty Blaistock just can't resist a kebab
Police went to court on Monday to extend the exclusion zone after he breached the order in May and July.
Magistrates agreed to ban him from Marine Parade - but allowed him to go to the kebab shop for one hour a day.
Norfolk Police confirmed they objected to the kebab shop exemption in court.
PCSO Hayley Law, from Norfolk Police, said: “The issuing of these orders has significantly reduced demand on local officers.
“Mr Blastock not only committed regular anti-social behaviour, but would also call emergency services when there was no real emergency.
“This would often happen several times a day.”
Rabeh Rashid, 37, the owner of UK Express kebab shop which also sells pizza, burgers and chicken, described Blastock as ‘a loyal customer’.
He said that Blastock usually popped in ‘two or three times’ a week, often paying £6.80 for a chicken kebab or £3 for cheesy chips with garlic sauce.
Mr Rashid added: "He is no trouble here. We have a lot of happy customers who like our food."

Kylie Jenner's BFF reveals the secret behind the KUWTK star's perfect selfies

www.mirror.co.uk

The secret to Kylie Jenner's flawless selfies has FINALLY been revealed.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star might be known for her perfect front-camera skills - but apparently even Kylie doesn't take a five-star photo everytime.
Her longtime BFF, Jordyn Woods, has admitted that when they pose for selfies together, they regularly take getting on for a 100 pictures before they're happy with one.
"Kylie and I always take 75 pictures to get the perfect selfie before we post it," she told Closer.
Pacific Coast News / Barcroft Media Kylie Jenner and her friend Jordyn Woods
The friends have been close for years, and Kylie cemented their friendship when she gave Jordyn a £55,000 Mercedes for her 18th birthday last year.
She claims that her bond with Kylie has helped shape her as a young woman, and says that she finds the teenager and her sisters to be total inspirations.
"They're all beautiful, curvy women and I think a lot of girls look up to them and they inspire them to have a curvy body too," she explained.
The plus-sized model moved in with Kylie earlier this year, and says that they're constantly giving each other advice about boys.
"We're both super confident and we're basically family. We help each other out, like: 'This boy text me this, what should I say?'"
Kylie and Tyga kissed on the plane
But Kylie won't be needing advice though, considering she's all loved-up with her on/off boyfriend Tyga.
The couple recently travelled to Sin City for some "last-minute adventures" with his three-year-old son, King.
The smitten KUWTK beauty shared a snap of them puckering up on board their private jet on Instagram.

Arsenal announce Shkodran Mustafi deal in brilliant style
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Mustafi has completed his move - and doesn't one fan know it!
Arsenal have announced the signing of Shkodran Mustafi in a very unique way.
And one Gunners supporter has been set back almost £40,000 as a result.
Well, that's if he stays true to his word!
It all started on August 12 when one Twitter user vowed to hand out £20 to anyone who re-tweeted his post about the possible addition of Mustafi.
Daniel Floyd must have though he had got away with the post - until the official Arsenal account went back in time to remind him, and announce the deal.
Replying to the original tweet, the Gunners a video of the German defender addressing the fan with his thumb up: "Hi Daniel, I hope you don't regret the tweet."
Shortly after the announcement, the original post had been re-tweeted almost 2,000 times.
If my mathematics is correct, that would set Daniel back around £40,000!
And he wasn't the only one to make an outlandish promise.
After frustrating Arsenal fans for weeks, Wenger has finally splashed the cash at the final moment.
That will teach the Emirates faithful never to write him off....and make ridiculous promises about VERY likely outcomes.

Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has posted a picture of his hand to his Instagram - and it doesn't make for pleasant viewing.
The Bayer Leverkusen hitman, who was linked to a move to Man City earlier in the window, fell down the stairs at his house, breaking his hand in the process.
He appears to be on the mend, however, posting on social media: "I wanted to make his video to thank you all for your supporting messages, for sending your love and also your good vibe!
"Thank God the surgery went perfect and now I have to work hard so that in approximately 2 weeks I can be back on the field, which I am desperate for!!!"
Getty Chicharito refused to rule out a late move in the transfer window
Chicharito appears to be staying in Germany for now.
Despite being settled with Leverkusen, the Mexican didn't rule out a move away earlier this month.
“You never know what happens in football,” he told Kicker . “In years gone by I have left my club on the last day of the transfer window.
Gracias!!! #blessed #feyconfianza ••••••• Thank you!!! #blessed #faithandtrust A video posted by Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez (@ch14_instagram) on Aug 26, 2016 at 7:03am PDT
"I thought I would stay in Madrid and I thought I would stay in Manchester but I joined Leverkusen in the end.
“It motivates me if I am a theme for other clubs.”

British farm worker hailed as 'shining light' dies in Australia car crash

A farm worker from England hailed as a "shining light" has died in a tragic car crash in Australia.
Dan Jarmin, of Ipswich, Suffolk, was working on a farm in Alice Springs in the remote Northern Territory.
He died after being involved in a single-car smash at about 3pm local time on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old was a "beautiful person inside and out", his family said.
Dan's brother, Ben Jarmin, 27, paid tribute to him as he said their family and friends had been shattered by the tragedy.
Ben, also of Ipswich, said: "Daniel is well known and well loved around Ipswich - he truly was a larger than life character.
"He never worried about things and he always cared about those in his life.

"His sense of humour was the pinnacle of his aura, always getting the best out of any situation.
"There's no-one on this planet who can ever replace my brother and my friend.
"He will always be remembered by the lives he touched."
Dan's dad, Martin Jarmin, added: "Dan was a true shining light and he left warmth where ever he went.
"I am so proud of him."
Former Northgate High School and Suffolk New College student Dan left his job to go travelling in Australia last year with his girlfriend Hayley Baker-Covey.
He returned home to the UK for a few months after the couple had criss-crossed the huge country.
But restless Dan couldn't resist the lure of Down Under and he flew back to take up a post working on a farm in Alice Springs.
Dozens of friends have paid tribute to him on social media.
Archant Dan Jarmin, right, with his siblings Ben, left, and Sam, centre
They are celebrating "a lovely human being" who was "always looking out for his friends" and "a true gentleman" who was "such a beautiful person inside and out".
Dan had worked at Ipswich-based Haven Power for four years before heading for Australia last year.
A shocked Haven Power spokeswoman said: "All of us at Haven are deeply saddened at the news of Dan's accident.
"Dan worked at Haven between 2011 and 2015 and had many friends here.
"Our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this very difficult time."
Dan's brother Ben said: "My favourite memory of Daniel was sitting in a restaurant on my birthday earlier this year thinking Dan was in Australia then looking across the tables I saw my brother walking towards me.
"Although his death has caused our hearts to ache we can find solace in the fact he knew he was so well loved by everyone around him.
"We will miss him every second of every day."
Ben added: "I am so thankful to all of you, your messages, likes, phone calls, visits, whatever you have done to pass your message really means a lot to all of us and we are forever thankful to each and every one of you for this."
The heartbroken Jarmins are now battling to bring Dan's body home.
A justgiving page has been set up by close friend Joe Targan in a bid to help cover the costs the family will face.
Within just two days 135 people have already donated and raised more than £1,445.
Joe said on his page: "As many of you may be aware Dan Jarmin recently passed away in Australia.
"This has left a huge gap in many of our lives as he meant so much to so many of us.
"We have set up this page to try and help ease some of the financial burden that the Jarmin family will face in the coming weeks.
"The money raised will be used to help with the arrangements to bring Dan home and lay him to rest.
"Whatever you can afford to donate would really mean a lot."

Gemma Atkinson recently hit out at body-shamers and defended her figure after she was trolled online.
And now she's well and truly proven ALL the haters wrong, as she stepped out looking incredible on a recent holiday to Marbella.
The Emmerdale actress showed off her jaw-dropping abs in the revealing two-piece, coupling tiny black bikini bottoms with a white top, flashing her hip tattoo to the world.
Wearing her blonde hair loose, she looked relaxed as she took part in her very own private beach shoot.

Enjoying a paddle in the water, the star failed to raise a huge smile as she ventured out for some time away from the limelight.
And it comes after she recently stripped naked to hit back at cruel trolls online.
Splash Showing off a glowing tan
The gorgeous soap actress stripped off her clothes and flaunted her unedited body in a bid to make other women feel better about themselves.
Taking to Instagram to show off a behind the scenes picture from her naked shoot with Women's Health, Gemma proudly flashed her incredible curves.
"This issue is about woman being comfortable in their own skin," she said in an inspiring message. "The one thing we have in common is our mutual support for females."
She continued: "To stand up and say, this is ME. This is MY shape. This is MY body. And I am PROUD OF IT!
"It took me a while, but at 31 I am happy within myself. Mentally & physically. I hope this picture inspires woman to love their bodies & embrace every freckle, every inch, every muscle every curve & every bloody stretch mark on it!" added the star.
In another picture taken from the inspiring shoot, Gemma flashed a huge smile as she flaunted off every inch of her gym-toned body.
Gemma is body confident
The outspoken star hit back at body trolls previously after she was criticised on social media for being "built like a lad" .
Hitting back at the comment, Gemma told Closer magazine: "Well if you started to lift heavier weights then maybe you would look like a man, too!"
During an appearance on This Morning following her body shame spat, the blonde beauty insisted that she doesn't let her critics bring her down.
ITV Gemma hit back
She explained: "It's mostly from men who says women shouldn't have muscles. It's like me saying all men should have muscles.
"You should be how you want to be," added Gemma before claiming that she just ignores trolls.

Michelle Keegan wrote about missing her husband Mark Wright this week, as she supported him following the Danny Dyer bust-up at V Festival.
The stunning actress , whose hubby's mates ended up in a fight with the EastEnders actor, has brushed off divorce rumours for months, and now one of the couple's friends has admitted it's not been an easy first year as Mr and Mrs.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, the anonymous pal said: "It's been a turbulent first year and they've been apart much more than they've been together.
Rex Mark and Michelle have spent time apart
FameFlynet The former TOWIE star after V
"Things between them are pretty volatile. When you add it up they're just not sharing time, a bed, meals, days out, or chilling together the way couples need to."
Michelle, 29, has been seen without her huge diamond engagement ring on a number of occasions, but she insists it's because she's worried she'll lose it while filming.
The pair haven't been seen together for six weeks and fans urged Michelle to ditch Mark, 29, after he allegedly ran riot at V jumping on people's tents after his mates drama with Danny.
But she's sticking by him and wrote in her blog for Hello! Magazine that she misses the star while working.
BBC Michelle Keegan in Our Girl
BBC The star has been away filming
Michelle has recently been filming the drama Tina and Bobby in Manchester - in which she plays the wife of late England football captain Sir Bobby Moore - while Mark has been in Essex.
The Our Girl star wrote: "It's my last week filming Tina and Bobby, it's been a very interesting and enjoyable filming project, and I have been working with a fantastic cast and crew.
"I am also looking forward to a bit of down time where I can catch up with myself, spend time with Mark and our families, have some lazy days walking the dogs, do some Autumn clothes shopping, visit friends, and do some comfort food cooking at home. Hurray!"
Mirror Celeb has contacted Mark and Michelle's reps for a comment.

12:05 Right, it's time! The montages are wrapping up and it’s time for the Europa League group stage draw 2016/17. Hold onto your hats and put down any sharp objects because it’s going to be a wild ride. Manchester United, Southampton and Dundalk fans, I hope you have tinned goods and plenty of supplies as this is likely to go on for a while.
11:40 Your draw primer Not long now, draw fans. Just long enough to run over the rules of this afternoon’s draw, in fact. There’s a total of 48 teams in our draw today and they have been separated into four seeded pots, all based on UEFA coefficients. The top-ranked sides are in Pot 1 where you can find Manchester United and the like, with the lesser lights being thrown into Pot 4. Each group will feature one team from each pot, with no clubs from the same association able to be drawn together. Simple, eh? Here’s how the four pots look ahead of the draw: Pot 1: Schalke, Zenit, Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, Athletic Club, Olympiacos, Villarreal, Ajax, Internazionale Milano, Fiorentina, Anderlecht, Viktoria Plzeň
Pot 2: AZ Alkmaar, Braga, Salzburg, Roma, Fenerbahçe, Sparta Praha, PAOK, Steaua Bucureşti, Genk, APOEL, Standard Liège, St-Étienne Pot 3: Gent, Young Boys, Krasnodar, Rapid Wien, Slovan Liberec, Celta Vigo, Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Feyenoord, Austria Wien, Mainz, Zürich, Southampton Pot 4: Panathinaikos, Sassuolo, Qarabağ, Astana, Nice, Zorya Luhansk, Astra Giurgiu, Konyaspor, Osmanlıspor, Qäbälä, Hapoel Beer-Sheva, Dundalk Harold Cunningham
11:07 Who can Manchester United draw? Manchester United will learn who they will face in this season’s Europa League group stage today when the draw is made in Monaco. Jose Mourinho’s men will join 47 other teams in the hat, as the 12 groups of four will be confirmed. The Red Devils earned their place in the competition after their fifth place finish in the Premier League last season under Louis van Gaal and it will be the first time they have ever featured in the group stage. United will be seeded in Pot 1 for the draw, owing to their UEFA club coefficient, which means that they will avoid a number of big-name teams, such as Internazionale, Fiorentina, Athletic Bilbao, Schalke and Zenit Saint Petersburg. They will face teams from pots 2,3,4 and four, with the likes of Standard Liege, Celta Vigo, Nice, Mainz and Feyenoord among their possible opponents. Read more here. Reuters
10:38 Herrera: Man United will take Europa League seriously Ander Herrera insists Manchester United will take the Europa League seriously ahead of tomorrow’s draw for the group stage. United find themselves in UEFA’s second tier competition for only the third time in their history, after finishing fifth in the Premier League last season.
The Reds failed to make an impression on the tournament in 2012, going out to Athletic Bilbao in the last 16, while they were dumped out by arch rivals Liverpool last season at the same stage.
United boss Jose Mourinho has admitted he would prefer to be in the Champions League, but midfielder Herrera said the players will do all they can to win the Europa League.
“I think it’s a very enjoyable competition and we want to fight for every competition we have this season,” said Herrera.

Lewis Bloor will follow Marnie Simpson 'around like a puppy' as CBB star opens up on marriage

Lewis Bloor has admitted he will follow Marnie Simpson around "like a puppy" as their Celebrity Big Brother romance blossoms.
The former TOWIE lothario has opened up about his relationship with the Geordie Shore babe and revealed while marriage has already crossed his mind, they will be sensible with expectations now they've let the house.
On the subject of wedding bells, he told Star Magazine: "If you asked me that question while I was still in the house, I would have said yes.
WireImage Lewis and Marnie are totally loved up
"I don’t want to jinx anything, but she is a special girl, so fingers crossed! On the outside, you can’t rush things. Everything resets. We have to appreciate that there are going to be challenges.”
However, Lewis insisted the couple won't worry about things too much, and instead want to focus on their careers and having fun.
Channel 5 The couple are looking forward to life outside the house
"Marnie is a lot busier than I am. She's the star and I'm just a guy with a regular job. I'm a personal trainer now. But I'm happy to follow her around like a puppy," he joked.
Still on the subject of marriage, Lewis insisted he would be ready to settle down , and explained his racy actions in the past.
Speaking to new! magazine, he said: "If I was to marry Marnie, I would be a very lucky man. The reason I've been a jerk [in the past] is because I've never met someone who has really kept me on my toes. Marnie does."

Meanwhile, the star also revealed why he was so offended when their fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemates suggested a spin-off show for the new lovers.
"Marnie for me is not a job," he argued. "She is a passion project, and I don't want to get paid for that."

What time does X Factor 2016 start? Everything you need to know including judges line-up and contestant details
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
The X Factor is back and it won't be long until the show is back on screens.
It's the most anticipated returning music competition of the year with a brand new old judging panel, a returning host and a few old tricks for this new dog of a TV show.
Everything's changing and yet some of it is staying the same, but one thing's for sure - viewers cannot wait until it's back.
Here's everything you need to know about the X Factor's imminent return...
ITV It's going to be a Schermazing year!
When is it back?
X Factor if officially returning to ITV on Saturday 27 August 2016 at 8pm and Sunday 28 August at 8pm.
ITV confirmed the news to Mirror Online last week.
This of course means there's less than one week to go until Simon Cowell and his judging panel will back on our screens where they belong.
Who are the judges?
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini , Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora have officially left the building.
After a lacklustre year where the public failed to be impressed by the more youthful line-up, Simon Cowell has gone back to when the show was the biggest thing on British television.
Sharon Osbourne will make her triumphant return to the judging panel alongside Cowell, while Louis Walsh will also return after a year off.
Making the show Schermazing once again will be ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger is also back and ready to find the next Rylan. Speaking of...
Who is presenting?
Dave J Hogan/Getty Dermot O'Leary is back - officially!
While Dermot O'Leary is another one making a triumphant return to the show - after the same year off as Louis - it's been all change on the spin-off show again.
Despite Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom winning critical and viewer praise for their hosting abilities last year, they too are victims of the revamp.

Now comedian Matt Edmondson and *klaxon* former X Factor finalist Rylan Clark-Neal will front the show on ITV2 which for the first time ever will be live from the very first auditions episode.
And not only this but in a further revamp, the show is moving to an online sphere with it's own dedicated online presenter too.
Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp's son Roman Kemp is to host the new venture while continuing to host his Capital FM radio show.
What to expect from the new series?
Wagner, Jedward, Chico, Rylan ... we’ve had plenty of novelty acts on the X Factor over the years.
And the good (or perhaps bad) news is that the new series is going to be awash with them as bosses strive to win back viewers after a couple of years of plummeting ratings.
Nicole Scherzinger is already beside herself with joy, believing she’s discovered “the new Rylan” – a crooner from Los Angeles called Prince who has flown over to take part in the show.
Read more: X Factor judge Nicola Scherzinger believes she's found 'the new Rylan'
She and Rylan were responsible for the most Schermazing/awful X Factor scene ever when they broke down at judges’ houses after Rylan Clark-Neal learned he’d made her team in 2012.
And it sounds like there could be more of the same in store this year, thanks to American Prince.
Who are the contestants?
As the initial auditions are filmed months in advance, contestants already know if they've made it through.
In fact, dozens of them are preparing to jet out to Judges' Houses this weekend - which we hear will be filmed in locations like Los Angeles and Ibiza.
Frustratingly, X Factor bosses are keeping extremely tight-lipped over who has auditioned and which acts are through to avoid giving away any spoilers before the show launches.

Not even live telly can hurry up Katie Price, who was once again late for Loose Women.
The reality TV star found herself having to sprint onto the ITV lunchtime panel show today after falling behind her co-stars during the introduction.
Anchor Kay Adams was forced to make a bit out of the missing Katie Price to give her time enough to make it to the show, albeit slightly flustered in the end.
Fortunately Katie arrived just in time to become shocked by how much Sherrie Hewson loves her role as Mrs Slocombe.

Another mused: "This new show Are You Being Served? would have been better if they'd made it 40 odd years ago."
One angry viewer posted: "Just watched 10 mins of the BBC's revisits ARE YOU BEING SERVED? One word TERRIBLE!! Why do this?? Stupid BBC!!"
The negative tweets just kept on coming with another BBC fan saying: "Well we lasted 3 mins of 'Are you being served?' I can't believe our to license money is paying for this rubbish."
Another viewer said the show made them want to die, posting: "After 30 seconds of watching the remake of 'Are you Being Served?', I'm more than ready for the sweet release of death."
There were some good tweets for the show, however, with a few people enjoying the show.

Former EastEnders star Leslie Grantham had predicted that the show wouldn't be well received and blasted it before it even went on air.
INTERNET UNKNOWN Cast of Are You Being Served, original TV series
He said reboots of ‘unfunny’ comedies such as Are You Being Served, Till Death Us Do Part and a new Dad’s Army film are ‘lazy’ broadcasting.
The 69-year-old actor said: “We’ve got remakes of Are You Being Served, Alf Garnett and a lot of other old dramas.
“Why bother to do new drama? Let’s bin new writers. Are the new writers that bad we have to wheel out unfunny stuff that wasn’t funny first time round?
“No, it’s laziness on the part of the broadcasters filling it up with their favourite - not our favourite – performers.
BBC Leslie Grantham isn't a fan either

A tragic schoolboy has died after suffering a cardiac arrest during football training.
Kieran McDade, 13, collapsed while training with local team Dunbeth Football Club in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, last week.
Coaching staff at the club, paramedics and doctors all battled to save him and Kieran fought on for a week after slipping into a coma.
His family and friends desperately hoped that he would recover but Kieran passed away this morning, the Daily Record reports .
A talented footballer and popular teenager , the former St Margaret's High School pupil played for a number of local football clubs and the tragedy has left the local community 'devastated'.
A statement on Dunbeth's Facebook page said: "This is the most heartbreaking situation that any parent could go through and all the people connected to Dunbeth FC send their condolences to Bernie, Gemma, Amy and all extended family and friends.
"Kieran was a big happy go lucky boy and all his team mates and coaches will miss him terribly.
"A popular boy who gave his all for his team and will forever be remembered for the League Championship he proudly won with his team mates and all the good memories that came with that."
Facebook Tributes have been paid to Kieran
"He was a founder member of the 2003 squad and secured his place as our No.8 which we all knew he treasured dearly," the statement continues.
"It doesn't matter what words I use they will never explain the feeling we have for Kieran or the loss that we share with his family.
"He has left us all with cherished memories but ones that will forever be tinged with sadness that he is not here to relive them with us."
A keen Celtic fan, local supporters clubs, including Rangers fans, had been sending messages throughout the week, willing Kieran on as he fought for life.
Tributes soon appeared on Facebook pages with one reading: "All I can do is cry right now thinking about this. Missing you loads, Rip."
Kieran's sister Amy thanked people for their support and wrote: "My family would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for the overwhelming prayers and support you have given us.
"Our beautiful boy is now with the angels and will forever live on in our hearts.
"Kieran's mum and dad would like to thank all his friends for all of the amazing things you have done for him, we now know how loved he truly is.
"My mum would also like to thank all the brave boys and girls for staying so strong, and to all the mums, she asks you hug your boy tight tonight because life is full of surprises and so so precious, appreciate every moment you have with them.
"Would also like to let everyone know that Kieran has remained the most sensitive and generous boy that he is and donated some of his organs which has saved 2 peoples lives today. What a brave soldier, he will be truly missed."

Fact is certainly stranger than fiction in the secret life of Arthur Ransome , one of Britain’s best-loved writers of children’s books.
To his relatives, Ransome was the kindly, quiet old man whose cosy, golden tales about plucky children would enchant generations of readers.
The charm and appeal of his 1930 classic Swallows and Amazons still shines brightly enough now to inspire a new film version of the Lake District adventure.
Yet given what Ransome had been through it was little short of miraculous that he survived to write any of his 13 children’s books.
He was a double agent during the Russian Revolution, fell in love with Communist leader Leon Trotsky’s secretary and used his wits to defy certain death to help her flee the country. He also had tea with Trotsky and took on first Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin in chess.
A scene from the new Swallows and Amazons films
The intrepid Walker and Blackett kids from Swallows and Amazons would have been proud of his cunning and ingenuity.
Ransome’s great nephew Hugh Lupton remembers as a child holidaying with the writer and was surprised when he discovered the truth about the then frail old man.
He said: “When I visited him as a boy in the 50s and early 60s at his cottage in the Lake District we’d have tea in the garden and he’d sit in a deckchair, a quiet presence with a shiny bald head and snow white moustache. But his wife Evgenia did have a funny accent. And they had a Russian samovar to heat water.”
Ransome and his novel were quintessentially English, but those clues pointed to a extraordinarily colourful past.
Hugh, now 64, said: “Uncle Arthur ended up working in Russia for MI6 , befriending Trotsky and Lenin, who he played chess with, and falling in love with Trotsky’s secretary Evgenia Shelepina.”

He said Ransome disguised himself in an old Imperial fur greatcoat and Evgenia wore a peasant’s scarf and skirt to escape Russia when the post Revolution civil war broke out.
Hugh says: “Possibly unbeknown to Ransome, she smuggled out one million roubles’ worth of diamonds in her undergarments to sell to Bolshevik sympathisers in the West! They had probably been confiscated from the aristocracy.
“Their escape was like one of the Russian folk tales Uncle Arthur loved, fleeing from the city, sleeping in burnt-out barns, dodging death. He rescued the woman he loved.
"And all the time he carried a pebble in his pocket from Peel Island, in Coniston Water in the Lake District, the inspiration for Wild Cat Island in Swallows and Amazons, like a talisman, a lucky charm.
“It finally got them home – and when he divorced his first wife, he married Evgenia.”
Ransome was still happily married to his Bolshevik bride when he died in 1967, aged 83. That was 37 years after Swallows and Amazons, inspired by a sunny summer holiday in the Lakes with his friend’s children, the Altounyans, appeared.
Hugh Lupton Evgenia, the woman Arhtur risked everything for
Ransome’s own adventures are touched on in the new film, starring Kelly Macdonald, Rafe Spall and Harry Enfield, with the introduction of Russian spies to the Lakes. Although this has caused controversy among diehard Ransome fans.
In 1913, then father of one Ransome, a journalist and writer in a failing marriage to first wife Ivy Walker, decided to make his first trip to Russia.
He was to remain there on and off until his eventual flight. “It was a pretty unhappy first marriage,” explains Hugh, whose grandmother, Joyce, was Ransome’s sister.
“He had come across a book of Russian fairy tales and was struck by the stories. His idea was to go across and learn Russian and collect folk tales and re-tell them in English.”
Daily Mirror Hugh Lupton has revealed his relative's fascinating story
Living in St Petersberg, Ransome fulfilled his dream and wrote Old Peter’s Russian Tales. But he filed news reports back home about the increasingly volatile political situation.
He visited the Eastern Front a few times, and slowly got on “tea drinking terms” with a number of high-ranking Bolsheviks, even sharing a flat with Karl Radek, who would become the Comintern’s chief propagandist. “He played chess with Lenin,” says Hugh.
Although Ransome famously later insisted his only politics was “fishing”, Hugh explains, “he became the British journalist most sympathetic to the Bolshevik cause.”
Lenin believed the amiable writer was useful to him in supplying information from the West. But, more than that, it seems, he actually liked him, too.
Roland Chambers, who examined Ransome’s time in Russia in his biography The Last Englishman: The Double Life Arthur Ransome, gained access to KGB archives and discovered the author definitely worked for the Bolshevik secret intelligence services.
He says he and Lenin genuinely got on: “Lenin talked about ‘useful idiots’, westerners who could be used. But I think Lenin genuinely respected Ransome.”

Chambers also made another discovery in previously classified British archives that, simultaneously, Ransome was also employed by MI6 from 1918, who were suspicious of the time he spent in Russia, and wanted to use him to boost their own intelligence.
It is reported Evgenia secretly gave him access to important documents.
But Chambers is convinced Ransome did it all for his own interests rather than any particular political passion. And not just his own, but those of the woman he had fallen in love with.

Ultimately his need to protect Evgenia led him to risk everything.
By 1919, her life was in danger during the civil war between the Bolsheviks and the anti-Communist White Army.
She took the plunge and escaped with the writer. It is believed she later took the smuggled diamonds to Paris to fund a new political party committed to the spread of Communism.
Hugh says: “It was the most extraordinary journey. They got on a train in Moscow but only got so far because the railway tracks had been blown apart. “So then they hired a horse and cart and a boy to lead it.”
He says they avoided capture and death three times. The first time when Evgenia gave a widow a kettle so the woman’s sons would not turn them in.
Hugh says: “The widow was so delighted she sent her sons away and that saved their lives. Then she sent the couple away with a piece of cheese.”
Later, Ransome pulled rank on a gang of peasant soldiers who had confronted them. Hugh says: “Ransome, knowing he was wearing an Imperial fur coat and fur hat boomed, ‘Do you have an officer with you? Where are you going?’”
Hugh says: “When they told him, he said ‘When you get there tell them I am coming!’ They were so taken aback they saluted him and galloped off. When they got to the village there was military lined up waiting for them and they were offered lodgings.”
Amazons and Swallows book cover
Finally, it was Ransome’s love of chess that saved their lives. They encountered a White Army division in Estonia, who would have shot them – had the officer not recognised Ransome.
“It turned out they had once had a game of chess,” laughs Hugh. “Ransome had won and the officer had laid out the board for another game and then got called away. On seeing Ransome the only thing on his mind was finishing that game, so he whipped out a board and they played there and then – and Ransome let him win.
“He was so delighted he gave the couple the papers they needed to get them safely to the Baltic.”
Back in Britain, Ransome divorced his first wife and married Evgenia in 1924.
They settled in the Lake District and never spoke of their past.
Hugh, also a writer, says: “I was told to never mention Russia. I think Evgenia was worried if it got out she was living in England her family in Russia might be at risk.”
Ransome was more than content to remain in the place his lucky pebble had come from, alongside “his racks of pipes and fishing rods.” Hugh says: “He always had a pull back to the Lake District. That was where his heart was.”

'Sexist' labelling in record store prompts angry rant from singer Kate Nash
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Women's battle for equality has been well documented for centuries, but while we might have the vote and equal pay there are still instances of everyday sexism which can leave us dumbfounded.
These are seemingly 'harmless' throwaway comments, jokes or lazy categorisation.
One instance of damaging labelling spotted by singer Kate Nash in a record store led her to post an angry rant on Twitter - and it's totally clear why.
The British songwriter, who found fame with her hit Foundations in 2007, had spotted a category in a record shop which read: "Females of all description" in which a Florence and the Machine vinyl was filed, alongside genre categories such as as "Reggae/Tamla/Rap etc".
@katenash/Instagram An outraged Kate shared the image with her followers
Posting a photo of the vinyls on Twitter, she wrote: "This kinda sh** drives me insane. The genre 'females of all description' is not a music genre. It's sexist."
Not stopping there, she made the point that male singers and artists would never be listed under a similar category.
There would never be a "males of all description" section. Because the rest of the shop and all other music genres are considered male — Kate Nash (@katenash) August 29, 2016
It's a reminder to me that most ppl don't even know they are sexist. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Female is not a genre — Kate Nash (@katenash) August 29, 2016
She ended her rant: "Don't categorize my sex #femalesofalldescription"
Her Twitter followers were similarly outraged, calling the labelling 'lazy' and asking if it were actually real. Some questioned how female singers reaching across different genres could all be lumped under one heading.
But others disagreed and couldn't see the harm in it. Lee Dawson tweeted: "it's not really, it does help to narrow the search down if you are looking for someone in particular."
Poll loading …
It's not known where the record shop is, but judging from her Twitter timeline she appears to be in London at the moment.

Claudio Ranieri backs Jamie Vardy to rediscover his best form after stuttering start to the season
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Jamie Vardy has struggled in Leicester's first two games
Claudio Ranieri insists he is not panicking about Jamie Vardy failing to even have a shot on target yet in the Premier League.
And Leicester ’s Italian boss reckons new £16.6million striker Ahmed Musa can help spark Vardy back into goal-scoring form after his summer switch from CSKA Moscow.
Vardy, 29, lit up the Premier League last term with 24 goals to help inspire 5,000-1 shots Leicester to a shock title triumph.
His goals earned him two new contracts with his latest the £100,000-a-week deal after he snubbed Arsenal.
But after scoring only once at Euro 2016 as England toiled, Vardy is yet to rediscover his best form infront of goal this season.
Getty The Leicester striker fired a blank against Arsenal
He struck in the Community Shield after a mistake from Marouane Fellaini but missed several clear-cut chances in City’s shock opening 2-1 loss at Hull.
Vardy also drew a blank against Arsenal last weekend in the Foxes’ 0-0 draw and he is yet to register a single shot in target in the Premier League.
Ahead of Swansea’s visit Ranieri reflected: “Last season he was dangerous man – dangerous and a goalscorer.
“If I stay with Jamie he must be very powerful. I’m not worried because Jamie is very focused.
“We play well on counter attack against Arsenal, they worry about Jamie, so we find another solution to surprise the opponents.”

Teams have been sitting deeper this term against Leicester to stifle their counter-attacking threat using the pace of Vardy.
But Musa was a threat off the bench against the Gunners in the closing stages.
And Ranieri said: “They connect well. “He can play together with Vardy and we bought Musa because he can play wide, behind the striker as well.
“It’s a good choice for me during the match or at the start. But the Russian League is very different from English football, they play a slower tempo.
“The English League is very fast, Musa must increase his fitness and understanding.”
Plumb Images Claudio Ranieri keeps an eye on training
As well as a favourable Champions League draw in Group G alongside Porto, Bruges and Copenhagen, Leicester were boosted this week when Danny Drinkwater penned a new deal.
He joins the likes of Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, Kasper Schmeichel and Wes Morgan in committing his future to the club.
Now Ranieri has challenged the midfielder to push to establish himself in the England squad after he missed out on a place in the Euro 2016 set-up.
Ranieri added: “Drinkwater can get better, last season he played almost all matches, it was his first season he played so much, now he’ll be better.
“It will be good for Danny to play in the Champions League to increase his international matches.”

This picture taken by passenger shows the damaged tyre, which burst mid-flight
This picture shows the burst tyre which forced a Flybe passenger plane to divert as the runway at Birmingham Airport was closed.
Flight 1274, from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to Manchester, was forced to divert to the city due to the emergency.
Fire engines immediately surrounded the plane, which was carrying 76 passengers, as inbound flights circled in the air above the Solihull-based airport.
The flight landed safely and there were no reported injuries, a spokeswoman for the airport told Manchester Evening News.

Birmingham Airport runway was closed for half an hour while the stricken aircraft landed and was towed away by emergency vehicles.
It reopened soon after 4pm and passengers on board the flight were taken by coach to Manchester instead.
A spokesman for Flybe said that the emergency landing was made as a “precautionary measure to take into consideration more favourable wind conditions”.
“The aircraft landed safely without incident and, as is normal in such circumstances, the airport put its emergency vehicles on standby.

“All 76 passengers disembarked as normal, were bussed to the terminal, from where they will be taken by coach to Manchester to complete their journey.
“Flybe apologises to passengers for any inconvenience experienced, but the safety of its passengers and crew is the airline’s number one priority at all times.”
Twitter user Danny Mills tweeted this evening: "Flybe plane being towed off the runway @birminghamairport #birminghamairport #flybe."

Another user, Stephen Hayden, posted a graphic of planes circling in the air above Birmingham Airport as they waited for the runway to reopen.
He wrote: "@ bhx_official @ flightradar24 Is there a problem at Birmingham Airport - these guys going round in circles."
And a third user said: "Lots of fire engines around plane. # birminghamairport."
The runway was closed for about half an hour before being reopened at 4.10pm.
The incident resulted in delays to a number of flights, it is reported.

A Birmingham Airport spokeswoman said all the passengers disembarked from the plane safely and the runway reopened quickly.
It comes just two months after a Flybe passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing due to an engine fire.
The flight was en route from Glasgow to Belfast with 76 passengers and four crew on board in June when its left engine caught fire.
The Bombardier DHC-8-402 plane was diverted from Belfast City Airport to Belfast International Airport, where it landed safely and was evacuated.
A report by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) later found that a cracked washer in the Pratt and Whitney Canada PW150A turboprop engine became loose, causing the oil pump to fail.
This resulted in the engine overheating and a fire starting.
Further details of the latest emergency are currently unclear.
Mirror Online has contacted Flybe for comment.

With just weeks to go until her due date, pregnant Blac Chyna has posed naked for Paper magazine.
The 28-year-old model has followed in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian West, her future sister-in-law, by stripping off for a photoshoot.
Posing in just a gold headband and necklace, Blac shows off her stunning engagement ring from fiancé Rob Kardashian and her collection of tattoos.
Also on display is her burgeoning baby bump after she recently announced she and Rob were expecting their first child together.
And in the accompanying interview, Blac - who also has King Cairo, three, with her former partner Tyga - revealed she is excited to reveal all on her and Rob's reality show.

She said: "I don't do interviews, and I haven't spoken publicly in years. I'm excited about fans getting to know me as a person and not as a thing or a face. I'm funny and smart, and they'll see me as a mom with several businesses just keeping everything together.
"I'm looking forward to showing my relationship with Rob, our day to day, our struggles and what we're dealing with, positive and negative. I hope when people think about Blac Chyna, they think of a mogul and entrepreneur, a mother and a badass b**ch."

Whilst she insists she does like to keep some parts of her life private, she admits she can't help but sometimes share pictures of her son on Instagram because she wants to show everyone how amazing he is.
She added: "I don't mind sharing a funny video of him or some pictures with my followers, because I want to show everybody his greatness. He brightens up my whole day."

The news we've all been waiting for: Why cleaning your house could be VERY bad for your health
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Why cleaning your house could be very bad for your health
For most of us, cleaning our home is a household chore we’d rather not do – and now there may be good reason to avoid it...
If you’ve ever used sprays and detergents to clean your kitchen or bathroom and then started to cough or wheeze, it could be a sign that the chemicals in the products are damaging your lungs.
New research carried out in Norway, and released as part of the Healthy Lungs for Life campaign, has revealed that cleaning, both in the workplace and in the home, can actually be doing you harm
by leading to a greater risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
The study, which followed 5,000 women over 20 years, found that professional cleaners have a 17% greater decline in
lung function compared to the average woman.
But women who regularly clean their homes are also in danger – experiencing a 14% greater decrease in lung function over 20 years, due to exposure to chemical agents, such as ammonia, which irritate the airways, and other substances that can cause allergic reactions in the airways.
Oistein Svanes, from the University of Bergen in Norway, conducted the study, which was the first to monitor the long-term consequences of exposure to cleaning agents.
Getty If you’ve ever used sprays and detergents to clean your kitchen or bathroom and then started to cough or wheeze, it could be a sign that the chemicals in the products are damaging your lungs
He says: “Cleaning your home is a regular activity, and that’s why this concerns so many people.
“We need to start being much more aware of the chemicals we’re releasing into the air we breathe when we use things like cleaning spray.”
Dr Gareth Walters, of the West Midlands NHS Regional Occupational Lung Disease Service, adds: “It is a concern because it’s the first evidence that there’s some long-term damage to lungs due to exposure to cleaning agents.
“Moreover, it’s damage done not just to occupational cleaners, but also relates to cleaning done in the home.”
And he believes the rise in superbugs, such as MRSA, could be to blame.
Dr Walters explains: “Some household cleaners are now using the same substances used in industrial cleaners, and I think this is a response to reports of superbugs in hospitals 10 or 15 years ago. I think they have become stronger.
“I’m sure there’s a commercial reason – if you can sell your product as killing all known germs, it’s more likely to sell than one that claims to kill only 70% of germs.
Getty Women who regularly clean their house are also in danger
“But the flip side of that is they become more potent and potentially cause disease.”
While Dr Walters says there is less risk of developing COPD from domestic cleaning – unless exposed to large amounts of the chemicals on a daily
basis over a long period of time – his team has seen a big increase in the past five years in cases of asthma that are linked to exposure to a variety of cleaning products.
He says: “We do see a few people with domestic-related problems but we are mainly seeing people where cleaning agents have been implicated in their job. It’s largely healthcare workers, professional cleaners and people who work in institutions that need cleaning regularly.
“But even if you work in an office and are not involved in cleaning, some of those cleaning agents are in the air when you come into work."
How to tell if you’re affected
Symptoms can include coughing, a tightness in the chest, breathlessness during minimal exertion and wheezing when exposed to the cleaning agent. Anyone who experiences any of these at home or in the workplace should talk to their GP.
“You may find your symptoms improve when you’re away from the exposure, such as being away from work, but you should still get them checked,” says Dr Walters. “In addition to cigarette smoking, COPD can actually be caused by uncontrolled asthma over a number of years.
“If the cause of the asthma persists or the presence of symptoms is not
recognised, then any drop in lung function can become permanent over time.”
What can you do?
Dr Walters says: “I would recommend people always look at the label and know exactly what they’re exposing themselves to before buying products.
“People should follow instructions carefully and use at the correct concentration so they are adequately diluted. It’s also important that the room they are cleaning is well-ventilated.
“Avoid using warm water if the product needs mixing because warm water evaporates and you will breathe in the fumes. And, finally, try to use cleaners that can be poured directly on to cloths or surfaces rather than sprayed as a mist or aerosol.”
The risky chemicals to avoid
There are many ingredients that can cause asthma if you’re using them in the home, though not all asthmatics will be affected. Some of the more common are:
Methylisothiazolinone (MI/MIT) – found in kitchen and floor sprays, as
well as in some over-the-counter beauty products.
well as in some over-the-counter beauty products. Benzalkonium chloride (quaternary ammonium compound) – typically used as a disinfectant in household cleaners for floors and hard services.
Chlorine-based agents (sodium hypochlorite) – used as the active
ingredient in bleach.
ingredient in bleach. Some scents – within cleaning agents e.g. limonene, which gives some products their citrus smell.
Isothiazolinones – used in some washing-up liquids and some laundry washing liquids.
Ways to reduce your exposure
The Healthy Lungs for Life campaign recommends you:
Check the ingredients and avoid cleaning products that will put you at risk.
Follow label instructions about the safe use of chemicals.
Use wipes not sprays so that there are fewer airborne particulates to breathe in.
Open doors and windows during and after cleaning to ensure good ventilation.
If you have any concerns about the impact of chemicals in the home on
your lungs, go to your GP and get your lungs tested.

A woman who was left bleeding in the street with a crushed skull after being mown down by an ISIS maniac in the Nice terror attack has finally meet the mystery man she credits with saving her life.
Adelaide Stratton, 22, was one of hundreds injured during the Bastille Day massacre when a twisted Islamist fanatic used a massive lorry to smash into revellers - killing 86.
But it was the kindness of a stranger who saved the Australian woman's life, after he sat and held her hand and even travelled in the ambulance with her.
A heartwarming video tells Adelaide's story as she recovers from her severe injuries and meets French citizen, Patrick Sergent, who found her on the ground on July 16.
In the footage it is revealed that as the young woman stepped off of a bus to join the Bastille Day celebrations with friend Marcus Anderson, the pair were struck by a truck.
Adelaide Stratton almost died in the Nice terrorist attack
Adelaide didn't recognise her hero at first, but as soon as he held her hand, she knew
The truck was being driven by terrorist Mohame Lahouaiej Bouhel.
Appearing on Australia's Sunday Night Show , Adelaide states how she remembers regaining consciousness and seeing Patrick - "the man with long hair".
On Sunday, she met the man who saved her life

Sergent sat with the woman, who had the base of her head crushed, a slash across her forehead, and burn marks on her leg from when she was dragged, despite being directly in the area where the terrorist was killed in a shoot out with police.
Adelaide said: "I was lying on the ground in pain with what I knew was blood dripping down my face. I didn't know where my friends were.

"I knew he couldn't speak English, because he wasn't telling me what was going on. He was just looking at me and squeezing my hand. He made sure I always had his face to look at."
According to Mamma Mia , the pair were reunited on Sunday during the show.
Adelaide said: "How do you thank someone who saved your life? ... He is the bravest man I've ever met. What kind of person does that?"

Dermot O'Leary reveals Simon Cowell asked him what he'd change about the X Factor
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Some old faces are back on the X Factor
It’s time... for the thirteenth series of The X Factor. Dermot O’Leary’s back on presenting duties after a year’s absence. Plus, judges Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger will join Simon Cowell on the panel.
Essex teen Louisa Johnson won last year, but who will inherit her crown? We ask Dermot, 43, to tell us about it...
How does it feel to be back?
There were some nerves beforehand and I was emotional on my first day, but it felt like going home. It feels very natural to be back on The X Factor as the judges are all familiar to me. We’re all singing from the same hymn sheet.
How did you and Simon Cowell reconcile?
Simon and I had as close to a heart-to-heart as two middle-aged men are ever going to have. It was a lot less painful than we thought it would be.
ITV Dermot says Nicole would be his mentor
What was discussed in your summit meeting?
It was actually a really pleasant afternoon. We drank tea and he asked me what changes I would make. I wanted to make The X Factor as warm an experience as possible for the auditioners, even if they’ve not done well. I think we’ve achieved that. Everyone enjoyed themselves.
Any other changes?
The room auditions are back. The judges can see the whites of their eyes, so it’s really nerve-racking for the aspiring singers.
ITV Louis, Sharon and Nicole are back!
With an alleged £8million contract, what’s it like to be the highest paid solo presenter on British TV?
I think ‘alleged’ is the key word here! I was as surprised as anyone else to see some of the figures mentioned. My own professional pride is more important to me than money, although I was touched to hear that people had missed me.
What’s the standard of vocal talent like this time?
Very good. The good thing for me is that it’s not predictable
– I can think of maybe seven different people who could win the show. We’re blessed with talent in Great Britain.
Which judge would you choose as your mentor?
That’s a tricky one, but I think I’d go with Nicole. She puts her heart and soul into it with all her singers.
Strong views, songs and how daddy Si's not so scary
The judges give their verdicts on the thirteenth series...
ITV Behind the scenes with the judges
Simon
The X Factor is a show you have strong opinions about, whether you love or hate it. When people aren’t talking about you, it’s over.
Nicole
Simon is not as scary as I remember him – becoming a dad has softened him up.
Louis
We need to make the show entertaining, interesting and honest. There also needs to be great characters and funny stories. It’s not all about the singing, you know!
Sharon
I’m older than Simon, so I can tell him what to do. He’s had gorgeous women on the panel, but no one has been in that position where they can say ‘No’. He accepts it from me.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hints Reds will not buy new left-back following Tottenham draw

Klopp has hinted he will not dip into the market for a left-back
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hinted the Reds will not buy a new left-back before the transfer window closes next week.
Klopp again selected James Milner to fill the position in Liverpool's draw at Tottenham, and saw the former Manchester City man produce a solid display, capped with a goal from the penalty spot.
It fired the Reds ahead just before the break, before Danny Rose earned a point for Spurs in the second half.
Alberto Moreno has been much-maligned by Liverpool fans and lost his place in the starting XI after a shaky performance in the season-opening 4-3 win at Arsenal.
REUTERS Milner played at left-back and scored from the spot
Stuart MacFarlane Moreno lost his place after the Arsenal match
“We're going to need more players for different positions,” Klopp said. “The only decision we made is that Milly can play it, especially in the kind of play we think we should play.
“Full-back is not only a winger in the offensive situations, it's something like eight (roles) in different moments so that's a really good position for Milly.
In pictures: Spurs 1-1 Liverpool
“He still has to adapt and learn because he's not had 500 games in this position but we will work on it, like we work on every player.
“In the end we were convinced he could play the position and that's why we didn't make the transfer. I'm not surprised he can play there.”

Old pals Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito seen leaving lunch in Los Angeles, California
Three decades after they appeared together in Romancing the Stone, Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito, both 71-years-old, are still close friends.
The pair - who also starred together in Solitary Man in 2009 - actually lived together while they were training to be actors.
The pair, who were roommates when they lived in New York in 1968, still have a close bond, and looked delighted to be meeting up for lunch in Beverly Hills, California over the weekend.
Michael kept things casual in a white T-shirt and baseball cap, while Danny was smarter in a black blazer and shades.

Michael said in 2010 that Danny - who he knows as Danny D - was his “oldest friend in the business”.
Earlier this month Michael's son, Cameron, was released from prison after seven years.
The 37-year-old actor - who is the son of Michael Douglas and his ex-wife Diandra - was sentenced to five years in jail for possession of heroin and selling methamphetamine in 2010.

He had his sentence extended after confessing to smuggling drugs into prison, and spent two years in solitary confinement at Maryland's Cumberland Federal Corrections Institute.
But despite being scheduled for release in 2018, Cameron - who was moved to the low-security Danbury FCI in Connecticut late last year - is now out of prison and living in a halfway house in Brooklyn, New York.

The Premier League heads into its first international break and three teams still boast perfect records.
But that hasn't stopped Chelsea , who beat Burnley 3-0 to briefly top the table , from dipping back into the market.
Champions Leicester are also looking to bolster their attacking options after securing their first win of the season against Swansea .
And with the transfer window drawing to close, clubs are running out of time to finalise their squads - until January, at least.
One move that is imminent is the arrival of Shkodran Mustafi at Arsenal, with the Germany international revealing to Sky Sports that he spoke to Mesut Ozil before deciding on the move.
Here is a round-up of the best from Monday's newspapers...

His Portuguese club, however, are demanding £34.1m for the 28-year-old, who is interested in a move to the King Power Stadium.

but leaving Arsenal now could be the making of him
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Jack Wilshere is at a crossroads in his career.
He remains one of the most naturally gifted players of his generation but is just not getting games at Arsenal.
Wilshere, still only 24, has played just 37 minutes this season in substitute appearances, has lost his place in the England squad as a result and is clearly frustrated by the situation.
But there has been a very mature and sensible conversation between all parties - the player, his representatives and the club. Arsene Wenger will sanction a loan move to help get him playing again.
The problem now is finding the right option, the right club, especially with the clock ticking down before Wednesday's transfer deadline. These things take time and the right decision must be made.
2016 Getty Images Wenger is ready to let Wilshere leave Arsenal
Action Images via Reuters / John Sibley But remains a big fan of the Englishman
Wilshere is a player who needs games and rhythm to be at his best. If he's not playing then he can look sluggish when he comes on, just as he did at Watford on Saturday.
There is no point in Arsenal keeping him for the sake of it because they won't get the best out of him with Granit Xhaka and Santi Cazorla now ahead of him as well as Aaron Ramsey, Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny also vying for places.
Competition is strong and maybe being axed from the England squad was the tipping point as Sam Allardyce said he's definitely be in if he was playing regularly.
Watford vs Arsenal: Best pictures
So, the question is: where? Rule out a top four rival, although I'm sure the Manchester clubs would be keen. But I can't see him in a Tottenham shirt anyway!
It's a club which plays football in the Premier League (and there's been plenty of interest already) or, more likely at this point, a move abroad.
Roma were interested in Calum Chambers so they have been in touch with Arsenal already over that one. Valencia tried to sign him last season when Gary Neville was in charge.
Action Images via Reuters Wilshere hasn't been first choice this term
Getty Images Wilshere is at a crossroads in his career
They are two big clubs from abroad for a start. Wilshere's body has taken a battering in his young career so maybe a less physical style of football would help get him going again. Not so many tackles to ride and so on.
Wilshere definitely has the natural ability to succeed anywhere. I'm a major fan of his because of his playing style. I remember a few games, against Barcelona at the Emirates in the Champions League, for example.
But there was one at Tottenham where he came on, started pinging the ball and Arsenal won the game. He stood out a mile as the difference in the game.
Video loading Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video
Wilshere is also a good guy. I like him. He's also incredibly passionate about England and I love that in a young player. I wish more young players were like it.
Don't think this is about Wilshere's injury record. It's not. His body isn't broken or anything like that. But he has suffered, particularly last year, through being out with long term injuries because it's always a struggle to get your form back.
The only concern is Arsenal, despite being sensible and mature about this, are ultimately letting him go out on loan.
They are doing the same for Calum Chambers to help his progression as he'll get games. It's a bit different for Wilshere as he's supposed to be a key player and now they're loaning him.
David Price Wilshere has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal
But could yet see a loan move be the best thing for him
It has to be a worry especially as Wilshere has two years left on his contract and Arsenal should be offering him new terms at this point rather than loaning him out.
I hope he goes abroad, plays every week and shines. Then he could come back to Arsenal, get back in the team, be sharp and at his best as well as play for England.
We need our best young players to be playing for England. And Jack Wilshere, as far as I am concerned, remains one of the very best. He now just needs a bit of luck, an injury free run and some games to get him back to that level.

Robert Lewandowski is already scoring hat-tricks for fun this season
Robert Lewandowski scored his second hat-trick in as many games for Bayern Munich as they opened their season with a 6-0 hammering of Werder Bremen.
He rounded off the scoring from the penalty spot to give Carlo Ancelotti the perfect start to life in the Bundesliga.
The Polish international also netted three during the 5-0 DFB-Pokal win over Carl Zeiss Jena during the week, taking his tally up to six goals for the campaign already.
It was business as normal for Bayern during their first game at the Allianz Arena on Friday night as they romped to a two-goal advantage inside just 13 minutes.

Xabi Alonso's looping volley gave the reigning champions a showcase start to the season before Lewandowski joined the act.
Taking advantage of some poor Bremen defending, the 28-year-old broke past the offside trap before curling the ball past the helpless goalkeeper.
It was total domination from Bayern, but they took the until the first minute of the second half to make it three.

Lewandowski stabbed the ball over the line from close range after Thomas Muller delivered a pinpoint cross into the area.
Philipp Lahm was next to add his name onto the scoresheet. He played a one-two with Muller before smashing the ball home to make it four.
The fifth came on 73 minutes when an unmarked Franck Ribery smashed home from the penalty spot, before Lewandowski smashed home a penalty to round off the scoring.

"Everyone is feeling confident, everyone wants the ball and that's a very good sign.

"His advice, well, it's the same for all the team - always go out to win and always have the winning mentality of champions. Let's hope we can carry on in the same style.
"You can see from the games played that we've scored a few goals already so you can appreciate things are going well on that score.
"We're getting forward and creating lots of opportunities on goal.
We've also brought in more quality players, which has improved us too."

Matthew Lewis Mourinho's men have won three out of three
Valencia, 31, has played his part in United's perfect start, prompting Ander Herrera to hail him as the world's best right-back alongside Dani Alves.
The Ecuadorian almost blushed at Herrera's claim and says it helps having Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a targetman when he raids down his wing.
Valencia created his winner in the Community Shield and claims the Swede is a great option up top.
"I'm grateful for Ander's kind words, but what I try is simply work hard every day in training," he told MUTV.

"Now we have someone in the box who we can aim for. In addition, we know exactly who he is and that he's made a great impression at whatever club he's played at.
"He's started off on the right foot here at United and we're all here to help him when we can.
"We know that we can play the ball up to him because we know he holds the ball up well and that he can also find and bring in other midfielders in wide positions.
"You know that it's always a sound option when you give him the ball."

Laura Hamilton tells of fury at being used by weight loss pills website

Laura Hamilton was the victim of a web con
TV star Laura Hamilton spoke of her fury after being targeted by a bogus diet website.
The A Place in the Sun presenter , who has worked hard to shed five stone after giving birth to her second child , discovered she was being named as the face of a potentially deadly weight loss pill.
Con-artists doctored harmless snaps she’d posted of herself on Instagram - changing her posts to say she was an advocate of raspberry ketone.
She told the Sunday People how they even made up a phoney interview with her endorsing the product and claiming her husband had mocked her weight and nicknamed her “ginger cake.”
The presenter has consulted with lawyers - but been told the web operators are based abroad and it would be too costly to hunt them down.
Getty Laura says husband Alex is supportive and has attacked website's claims
The posts relating to her have since been taken down.
But upset Laura said: “I’m furious that someone can do this and get away with it.
“The website owners shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this.
“I’ve never taken ketones. I have worked really hard and followed a strict diet and exercise to get into shape.
“What’s really got to me is the personal quotes they’ve made up too.
“They have me saying that my husband called me things like ‘ginger bread’ because I put on weight after having children.
“He’s been very supportive and that’s just not the sort of thing he’d ever say.”
Laura was first alerted to the scam after friends and fans got in touch to ask about her endorsement.
She said: “I looked on the internet and couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
“They’d even taking a picture of me telling people where the clothes I was wearing were from and changed my words.”
Getty Nicole Scherzinger has been helped by John Beeby, who worked on the new fitness app with Laura
Next to her picture, it now read: “I love my amazing transformation and it was all thanks to #RaspberryKetone.”
Laura, 34, recently gained back her figure after shedding 5 stone following the difficult birth of Thalia her second child in 2015.
In June she launched a fitness app to help other women get in shape.
She created it with the help of her personal trainer John Beeby - also the force behind Nicole Scherzinger’s amazing body.
Ketones have been blamed for the 2013 death of Cara Reynolds, 24, from Edinburgh who bought raspberry ketone from Amazon to help her lose weight, even though she was a size ten
A case report of Laura Reynold’s death submitted to the British Medical Journal said the high dosage of caffeine sent her heart into cardiac arrest.
It stated: “This case report highlights the dangers of increasingly popular over-the-counter slimming pills.”

Kendall Jenner gets sister Kim Kardashian to take her out after she's BANNED by Uber

It's a good job Kendall Jenner has such loving siblings who are willing to chauffeur her around - because she's been banned from Uber.
The model spent ANOTHER evening at the celeb-haunt The Nice Guy in West Hollywood on Friday, but this time she had to get sister Kim to take her after being blacklisted by the cab service. What did she do?!
Kimmy, 35, tweeted: "Ugh I have to drive @KendallJenner around tonight bc she's banned from Uber! Why Uber?!?! She's a "model" passenger!!!!!"

Kenny is yet to comment on why she received such a low rating on the app, while Uber is also staying silent, but we imagine that won't be for long.
Still oozing supermodel status, the leggy brunette looked beautiful and fresh-faced as she worked an army jacket and tiny shorts with a simple white Tee.

Adding some glam to an otherwise off-duty outfit, she rocked a stunning pair of crushed velvet ankle boots and a Givenchy bag.
Kendall has been frequenting the West Hollywood hotspot on an almost nightly basis and it's even where her younger sister Kylie held a bash for her 19th birthday earlier this month.
Earlier in the evening, Kendall joined her half-sister, Kim, at Craig's restaurant before showing her support to Kanye West at his Famous art exhibition, which was held at a secret location.

Splash Kim showed off her blonde hair
Kim went for the complete opposite of Kendall's casual look, showing off her new blonde hair and incredible figure as she dared to bare in a black mesh jumpsuit with flared trousers.
She has lost an impressive 70lbs weight loss and flaunted her hourglass figure in the outfit, along with her new fake locks and a pair of cute pom pom heels.
Kim showed off purple lips and took them to a secret location where the exhibition was being held, telling her follower: "What do you guys think? Dark lip tonight with my blonde hair?"
It was a very different look for Kim and she quickly realised it wasn't really her, swapping it for glossy nude lipstick for the night.
