Holly Willoughby is showing her support for the NHS by flying a flag baring its logo from her home. The This Morning presenter's tribute to the health service says "NHS - We thank you" in its famous shade of blue and is proudly flying from the roof of her £3million South London house, according to The Sun . Her six-bedroom property, which she and her husband Dan Baldwin bought in 2011, has a huge tower dating back to the 1800s in the middle of the roof, likening it to a castle. The couple have added a flag and flagpole to the tower, which previously had a Union Jack flying from it. Neighbours were said to have complained about the patriotic display. One neighbour told The Mirror at the time: "We don't hang the Union Jack or St George flag outside our properties, so why should she? "It's not really becoming of the area.

Meghan Markle asks for letter to dad to be destroyed or returned after court win
Meghan Markle has asked that the Mail on Sunday be ordered to hand over and destroy any copies of a handwritten letter sent to her estranged father following her privacy win last month. The Duchess of Sussex, 39, sued Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) - the publisher of the newspaper and MailOnline - over a series of articles which reproduced parts of the letter sent to Thomas Markle, 76, in August 2018. She claimed the five articles published in February 2019 involved a misuse of her private information, breached her copyright and breached the Data Protection Act. Meghan was granted summary judgment last month in relation to her privacy claim, meaning she won that claim without having to go to trial, as well as most of her copyright claim. And, at a remote hearing on Tuesday, the duchess' lawyers asked the High Court to order ANL to hand over any copies of the letter to Mr Markle and destroy any electronic copies of it or any notes made about it.
