PARENTS and grandparents will always have a wall, table or shelf dedicated to family pictures - with weddings, babies and graduation often taking the top spot. But one woman discovered she'd been "bumped" from her mum's proud photo display, only to be hit with a brutal explanation from her unsympathetic mum. Rachel Frost, from America, shared the exchange on TikTok and was frankly gobsmacked after inspecting her mum's collection of framed snaps. There were snaps from some key milestones over the years, including weddings and many of her grandchildren, so Rachel asked her mum why she wasn't to be seen. In the video, she says: "Mum… did I get bumped? I'm not here." Her mum reassured her by picking up a frame which was more or less hidden, pointing out she was in fact a part of the family display.

TYSON FURY has revealed his frustration at negotiations over a fight with Anthony Joshua being 'no closer' to completion than they were a year ago. The Gypsy King has also revealed the four key sticking points over the deal getting done.

"Since the last Wilder fight, even before the Wilder fight, they were talking about a fight potentially between me and Joshua.
