Walking into a busy bar in Benidorm, Gaynor Williams was instantly struck by the entertainer belting out Shakin’ Stevens hits. She got a nostalgic tingle from his voice… and the way he rocked This Ole House. As Gaynor found a seat and started humming along, the singer launched into Green Door. She was finally starting to relax after flying to Spain on a “Shirley Valentine” holiday after the end of a 16-year relationship. But when singer Gaynor caught the eye of the man on stage, she was transported back to 1986 – and the aptly-named Memories Bar in Chester. What is your view? Have your say in the comments section Because the Shaky tribute act was her teenage sweetheart, Dean Ryan. And, three decades after she first drove him crazy, the pair discovered they had a love worth waiting for. “I recognised Dean instantly,” says Gaynor, 50. “He had the same great voice and lovely warm smile. “Sure, he was a little greyer and had a few wrinkles but he still had the … [Read more...] about Teen sweethearts reunite 33 years on from split after chance Benidorm meeting

‘I inherited £250K at six but it ruined my life – strangers still ask me for money’
When Katie Loveridge was four years old, she met her dad's eccentric friend Wilfred Lamb, 72, and the pair became unlikely friends. She became very close to the retired engineer and they loved spending time together, becoming inseparable. So when Wilfred passed away two years later, Katie was heartbroken but she was too young to understand that his death would change her life forever. Just eight days before his death, he cut his entire family out of his will and left all his cash - £250,000 - to Katie, who was just six at the time. But she says the cash has ruined her life, with strangers approaching her in the street asking for money and a boyfriend even stealing from her purse. Even now, she claims many people assume she's the victim of sexual abuse. Katie, now a 27-year-old of mum of four, said: "I loved him like a granddad and he loved me like a granddaughter and that's all there was to it. "I was a little girl who never asked for any of this. I honestly wish I … [Read more...] about ‘I inherited £250K at six but it ruined my life – strangers still ask me for money’
Care homes CAN impose ‘no jab, no job’ work contracts on new staff, says Justice Secretary
CARE homes can can impose 'no jab, no job' contracts on new staff, the Justice Secretary has confirmed. Robert Buckland said care homes must have "obvious rationale" to require employees to be vaccinated. He added that the Government would not be adopting a "blanket approach" to care homes imposing "no jabs, no jobs" policies. Speaking to the BBC , he said: "Future contracts and contracts of employment are indeed matters between employers and employees. "I think that where such conditions are imposed there needs to be a very clear rationale for them. "In a care home, a closed environment where there are vulnerable residents, I would argue there does seem to be an obvious rationale. "I think it will depend very much on each setting and the particular context. That is why I don't think it would be right to say there can be a blanket approach here because we need to go back to the fundamental fact that vaccines are not compulsory here in the UK. "There's a very … [Read more...] about Care homes CAN impose ‘no jab, no job’ work contracts on new staff, says Justice Secretary

A SCORNED girlfriend discovered her boyfriend was cheating - so she decided to redecorate his room with all the messages.

Sharing a clip to TikTok , she said: “So I found out my boyfriend has been cheating on me for four days. “He’s been cheating with not one, not two, but three lovely ladies. “So in those four days I gathered all the evidence I could find and decided to make him this lovely new wallpaper.” She painstakingly printed off screen grabs of all the messages, and headed to the store for some glue. Then she spent the next couple of hours giving him a very personal feature wall. She continued: “It took me about two hours to superglue all the proof to his wall.
