Disrespect and disloyalty. … [Read more...] about Ex-Coronation Sreet actress Gaynor Faye, 49, on her biggest regret and celebrity crush

EDDIE JONES ended up as England's very own Triple Clown. Now the RFU circus have to decide if they want him at the Twickenham Big Top any longer. For the first time in 45 years, they did the reverse Triple Crown - losing to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. That's not happened in a single Championship since 1976. Jones must have swallowed some of that rat poison he was washing out of his players' heads as he masterminded such a sickening defeat. This poisonous mess was produced by the same bloke who claimed this bunch of England players could be 'the greatest team the world has ever seen' just a year back. The Twickers suits knew they were hiring a boom or bust coach when they turned to him in 2016 after a humiliating home World Cup. We've had the boom with a Grand Slam, two more Six Nations titles and a World Cup runners-up medal. Now it's time to buckle-up for the bust - just a year after the Aussie was handed a bumper new contract to stay until France 2023. The … [Read more...] about Ireland 32 England 18: Red Rose crushed in Dublin to complete woeful Six Nations as flawless Sexton boots 22 points

A BALLGIRL was almost crushed at a tennis match in Spain after the umpire's chair collapsed. The remarkable scene took place on Thursday at the Gran Canaria Challenger in Las Palmas. During a last 16 match between Nikola Milojevic and Eduard Esteve Lobato, all appeared to be going as planned before a shocking moment in the second set. When the umpire got out of his seat to check a mark on the court, a gust of wind knocked over the chair. And the ballgirl crouched next to the official's seat looked set to be crushed in tragic circumstances when the wind sent the structure tumbling. But fortunately she was alert to the falling wreckage and managed to slide away before anything landed on her. Immediately the players and officials came over to check she was OK and had not been physically injured. She simply replied: "Yes, yes, yes."

As a schoolgirl Kate McGinley had a party trick that would amuse people around her. The then youngster would be to dislocate her shoulders, hips, or fingers, then snap them back in. What Kate thought was an individual physical quirk was in fact something far more serious. So serious that the mum-of-one from Pontneddfechan in Brecknockshire, is now seeing her selling her possessions, even those most treasured, so she can pay for life-changing surgery costing £36,000. Kate is also crowd fundraising and amongst those to have contributed are Hollywood star Michael Sheen who donated £1,000. "Michael is a Welsh hero - I was so humbled," Kate told Wales Online . Recalling how flexible she was a youngster, Kate said: "At school if we were in PE and someone said how stretchy are you, I always won. If people put their arms over their head, I could move mine 360 degrees. "I could pop my hip out as a party trick. But doing that exacerbated my condition, and now I am in so … [Read more...] about ‘My stretchy body was my party trick but now I’ve found out it’s crushing my brain’

Two parents were crushed to death when a 175-foot-tall tree fell on top of their car, leaving five young children orphaned. Jessica and Jake Woodruff were driving through Del Norte County, northern California, when the huge redwood uprooted and landed on top of their vehicle. They were heading on a romantic trip together to celebrate the mum's 45th birthday when tragedy struck. They couldn't be saved by emergency services and children Evan, Casey, Megan, Allie, and Chelsea must now face up to life without their parents. California Highway Patrol public information officer Brandy Gonzalez said such an event is rare. He said: “It’s the most unusual incident I’ve seen in my 19-year career. “We’re very prone to Mother Nature in this area. We do have trees come across lanes sometimes, and we think, ‘Luckily it didn’t hurt anybody.' “The timing in this case was just crazy.” A GoFundMe set up for the children has so far raised over $116,000 of its $500,000 target. … [Read more...] about Five kids orphaned after huge tree falls and crushes car on mum’s birthday trip
