Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has told how he had a hair transplant after stress made his hair fall out. The Corrie favourite who plays David Platt had more than 3,000 hairs implanted into the front of his scalp after noticing dramatic hair loss due to off-screen pressures and insomnia over the past year. The 31-year-old soap star, who suffers insomnia and had been losing his hair for the past decade, now wants to grow an 'Elvis quiff' when the transplanted hair grows back in a year's time. He said about the transplant: ''It is such a common thing for guys to have now - like a male version of the boob job. ''I decided to have it done because my hair loss has really escalated in the last year, particularly at the front of my scalp. ''I remember seeing myself on screen and thinking 'oh my god, it is really falling out.' ''One of my mates had a transplant and he looked so much better afterwards that I didn't recognise him. I was blown away by the improvement and he told me he … [Read more...] about Corrie’s Jack P Shepherd has hair transplant after stress made hair fall out

Five possible winners for the men’s Royal Rumble 2019 match
Royal Rumble 2019 is fast approaching - here we take a look at some of the candidates to win the biggest match of the year.

Fermanagh focused on results rather than style or plaudits
According to the bookies Fermanagh are favourites for relegation to division three. According to many pundits they are one of the worst teams to watch, with a defensive style that turns spectators off. And According to many, second season syndrome awaits. None of this bothers the Fermanagh players. They are happy in their own skin, faithful to their manager’s system and determined, not so much to prove others wrong but prove themselves right. Ciaran Corrigan is a perfect example of the attitude in the Erne squad. Not a shred of self-doubt or inferiority that perhaps were symptoms of some players in previous generations. Corrigan has seen what is out there and backs himself and his team-mates to be good enough to continue to make progress. In 2017 he was an integral part of the St Mary’s College team that won the Sigerson Cup and last year broke into the Fermanagh senior team and looks set to be a regular this season in the Fermanagh forward line as they look to upset the … [Read more...] about Fermanagh focused on results rather than style or plaudits
Jury out in trial of men accused of murdering John Kinsella and Paul Massey
The jury was sent out today in the trial of two men accused of murdering "notorious" underworld figures John Kinsella and Paul Massey. "Gangland enforcer" Kinsella, 53, was shot four times by a cyclist when walking his dogs with his pregnant girlfriend Wendy Owen, 41. The "career criminal", who once helped former Liverpool FC captain Steven Gerrard, was executed near his home in Loyola Hey, Rainhill. Miss Owen was also fired at, on a country lane near junction 7 of the M62, at around 6.55am on May 5 last year, but escaped over a fence. Kinsella's friend Massey, aka Salford's 'Mr Big', was killed in a hail of bullets outside his Manchester Road address, three years previously. A masked man with an Uzi sprayed 18 rounds as the 55-year-old dived for cover behind bins on his driveway, at 7.27pm on July 26, 2015. Prosecutors allege Mark Fellows, 38, was the gunman in both "cold blooded assassinations" and say Steven Boyle, 36, acted as his "spotter". Fellows, of Sandy Lane West, Hulme, … [Read more...] about Jury out in trial of men accused of murdering John Kinsella and Paul Massey

The sneer, the shrug, the black coat. José Mourinho doesn’t bother to hide any more that he is the dark angel of football. Nobody is so effective at killing games, nobody less concerned about the spectacle. Entertainment? No, the game is for winning – even if you’re in charge of Manchester United, the most successful team in English history, the richest club in the world, a side that since the 1950s has been synonymous with swaggering, attacking play. “Sometimes I feel [people think] that to be good defensively is a crime,” he said in October last year after a grim, first-leg 1-0 Champions League win over Lisbon’s Benfica. “But it is not a crime.” It was a classic piece of Mourinhismo, offering a premise that is self-evidently true to portray himself as the victim and leaving out the context – that an overtly defensive style is usually seen, in the words of the great Russian football writer Lev Filatov, as “the right of … [Read more...] about ConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightThe fall of the dark angel: José Mourinho’s “anti-football” philosophy
