On Thursday afternoon, the BBC revealed that Cach would be the second former Love Island star to be taking part in the new series, joining fellow champion Dani Dyer on the line-up.

He said: “I have grown up watching the show with my family and am so excited to now be part of the cast.

“Dancing is a huge passion of mine and I can’t wait to learn ballroom and do the Foxtrot for the first time!”

Since leaving the vila, he’s enjoyed work as a model and DJ, and become a major presence on social media, with the BBC noting that he has accrued tens of millions of likes on TikTok, thanks to his posts “showcasing his Afrobeat, hip-hop and street dance moves”.

Stirling MP Chris Kane spoke in Parliament after the comments made by Rupert Lowe about the Tragedy on a recent episode of the podcast.

An array of local politicians have reacted angrily to comments made by the Restore Britain MP Rupert Lowe on a podcast – where he described the Dunblane Tragedy as “one murder”.

The right-wing politician has faced fury from across the political spectrum after the comments on the Joe Rogan podcast.

Sixteen children and teacher Gwen Mayor lost their lives in the Tragedy at Dunblane High School in March 1996, with locals quietly marking its 30th anniversary earlier this year.

Mr Lowe, a businessman and former owner of Southampton Football Club, appeared on the episode of the popular show and was asked to discuss gun laws in the UK.

On the episode, Lowe tells Rogan: “If you don’t have a farm, you’ll find it very difficult to get a gun of any kind. Even if you have a farm.”

Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, continued: “They don’t want the public to have guns. As you probably know they banned handguns in the 90s, right in the late 90s, because there was a murder up in Dunblane.”

Rogan responded: “One murder?”. Lowe responded: “One murder”.

He added: “So everybody, my father used to shoot pistols for Oxford University and he had, he’s dead now bless him, but he had all his pistols were taken away.”

Stirling and Strathallan MP Chris Kane was among those who denounced Lowe’s remarks.

He submitted a point of order in the House of Commons, where he said the comments had caused “profound offence” and “diminished” those who gave their lives in 1996.

The point of order continues: “The people of Dunblane responded not with division, but with dignity, compassion and a determination that no other community should endure such horror.

“It is because of their courage, and the united action of this House, that the United Kingdom has some of the strongest firearms laws in the world and an ongoing cross party approach to ensuring those protections will not be weakened.”

Mr Kane followed those remarks up on social media, adding: “Like most reasonable people, my initial reaction to Rupert Lowe’s comments was one of fury and disbelief.

“However, unlike Mr Lowe, many of us have thankfully chosen to take the lead of the courageous parents and families forever touched by the Dunblane Tragedy and from the community that I am both proud and humbled to represent.

“They have conducted themselves with dignity, with a desire to unite people rather than to divide them, and in the hope that generations to come will be protected in a way that 16 – yes sixteen, not one – innocent five and six year olds and their teacher Mrs Mayor were not.

“Families across our country have children and grandchildren in our schools today who are alive because of that kind of selflessness and the determination that something positive would come from unimaginable evil.

“Mere words can never describe the sort of darkness that was visited upon Dunblane Primary School and our nation on March 13, 1996.

“Many people on that terrible day and since have lived with a kind of acute consciousness and pain that should never be visited on any human soul.

“The least the rest of us can do is to ensure that is forever acknowledged and honoured.

“Mr Lowe’s attitude does not reflect the sort of thoughtful society the vast majority of our nation and its people wish to have and which has been displayed day in and day out in my constituency for over 30 years.

“We can all learn something from the example of the good people and families of Dunblane. We can only hope that one day that includes Mr Lowe.”

Mr Kane’s remarks were echoed by Dunblane’s MSP and SNP deputy leader, Keith Brown, who said: “Rupert Lowe is a stain on our politics and his comments are beyond despicable.

“Despite these hideous remarks from Rupert Lowe, the Snowdrop Campaign that followed that terrible day ensured a ban on the private ownership of most handguns – that is the proud legacy of the bereaved families and the local community.

“Their courage and determination in the aftermath of the attack is something we should never betray and our community will never let the likes of Rupert Lowe do exactly that.”

Meanwhile, Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Stephen Kerr, whose children went to school close to Dunblane and were in lock-down during the attack, said: “Rupert Lowe’s comments are astonishingly insensitive and profoundly disrespectful to the victims of Dunblane, their families and everyone in Scotland who remembers that horrific day.

“To describe Dunblane as ‘one murder’ is not simply inaccurate – it diminishes one of the darkest days in Scotland’s modern history.

“Sixteen children and their teacher were murdered, and fifteen other primary school children were wounded.”

A Restore Britain spokesman told the Record: “Rupert was clearly referring to one incident.”

A men’s doubles semi-final at Wimbledon was interrupted by a medical emergency in the crowd

A men’s doubles semi-final at Wimbledon was suspended following a medical emergency in the crowd.

Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic were facing Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz when proceedings were abruptly halted.

With temperatures hitting 33 degrees on Thursday afternoon, play was paused at 1-1 in the second set as staff rushed to help a spectator who had fallen ill in the stands.

“We’re just going to pause,” umpire James Keothavong announced.

“A fellow spectator requires medical assistance at the top.”

Both pairs of players remained at the net while waiting for clearance to continue.

Within 10 minutes, the umpire gave the all-clear for play to recommence.

Arevalo and Pavic subsequently secured their spot in the men’s doubles final, defeating Krawietz and Puetz in straight sets.

The first set went to a tiebreak, while the second stood at 2-2 before the sixth seeds claimed four games on the bounce to seal the win, reports the Express.

They will meet the victors of Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara’s encounter with Aleksandar Kovacevic and Thanasi Kokkinakis, with the second semi-final set for 3pm.

Influencer Lorna Luxe has detailed how her eating disorder became a ‘full-time job’ and admitted she would do secret workouts that she hid from husband John. 

Talking to Davina McCall on her podcast Begin Again, Lorna, 43, recalled how she became incredibly unwell battling anorexia after getting a job as an air hostess. 

And she admitted she developed a ‘war mindset’ when it came to managing her disorder, working out twice a day, with one workout being done in complete secret.

She told Davina about where she thinks her eating disorders originated, saying: ‘I had been at uni and like anyone, you’re drinking loads and you’re eating loads and I put a bit of timber on.

‘I was a bit of a curvier woman. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I  wasn’t happy in how I looked.

And she admits she developed a ‘war mindset’ when it came to managing her disorder, working out twice a day, with one workout being done in complete secret

‘Then when I started to diet and lose a bit of weight, I also saw that people treat you differently, right? So I had interest from men I’d never had that before.

‘And when I got my Virgin job, when I went for my Virgin Atlantic interview back in 2002, they weighed you, they checked your height, they took a photo of your face, they wanted to see what you’d look like in the uniform. This was the norm back then.’

She continued: ‘And actually them as a brand, they’re so different that now, all their advertising is all about celebrating inclusivity, but at the time it was just a standard protocol. I imagine with all airlines that people had to fit a mould.’

Lorna said she believes she was rewarded in some way for losing weight. 

She said: ‘I got in there because I’d lost a bit of weight. So, it was always in the back of my head from the day one of that job. Okay. you’ve been rewarded.

‘And so maintaining weight because if you changed uniform size, you got pulled into the office because it cost the business money. 

‘So all these things were playing in my mind. I was living in Brighton, partying a lot, drinking, boozing, eating kebabs and having to manage my weight became an absolute full-time job.

‘And so sadly for me, I used my job, you know, flying away transatlantic. You stay down route somewhere for a couple of days, no one’s going to see what you’re up to. 

Lorna said:  ‘When I got my Virgin job, you know, I when I went for Virgin Atlantics interview, and this is back in 2002, they weighed you, they checked your height, they took a photo of your face, they wanted to see what you’d look like in the uniform. This was the norm back then’

John, who was 21 years Lorna’s senior, died in February after battling stage four adrenal cancer after being diagnosed in April 2023. The couple had been married 16 years

‘So your behaviours, your habits can really start to manifest. And I became incredibly unwell and it’s terrifying when I look back.’

Lorna admitted that as well as controlling her eating, she was working out like a ‘manic obsessive.’ 

She said: ‘I also think that you know the the real peak of my illness. I was with John now so he didn’t know about this either. 

‘He’d got me a David Lloyd membership in Brighton, there’s one in Worthing and there’s one in the marina and I would go to the one in the marina in the morning.

‘I’d cycle all the way down the seafront which was a schlep if you know Brighton. I’d go down there and then in the evening I’d go to the Worthing one.

‘I’d be there for two, three hours and when I look back now I’m impressed at you know the energy I put into that.

‘How was I even keeping going? You get into this very war mindset where I was doing daft things and my behaviours were changing, my mood swings were up and down I was permanently cold.’

Lorna sadly lost her husband John in February. He died following a battle with adrenal cancer on February 11, 2026, at the age of 64 

She said that at the height of her eating disorder battle, he did what he could to try and help her. 

Lorna said: ‘He would often say like you just you lost a bit too much weight now. “You’re beautiful but you’ve just gone a bit too far”. And also on flights, I might fly with someone.

‘A girl that I’m still mates with now, Cla. She’d suffered with anorexia, so she recognized the signs straight away and she pulled me in the galley.

‘She went, “You’ve got a problem. This is not good. You need to look after yourself. I’m here if you need me.” And I treated her with such disrespect at the time.

‘I was rude to her. I was like, “Don’t be so ridiculous. This is actually really out of order. What are you saying? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with me.” 

‘I think that’s such a brilliant defense mechanism because it does put people off talking to you about it. It frightens people from broaching it.

‘I’ve worked really hard to be skinny so you’re not going to [ __ ] with this now. And that was my headspace. 

I was like, “don’t you dare try and come for me on this because this is the the only thing I’m really good at”.

‘I kept thinking, I’ve got the secret sauce here. They don’t know. But I’m on to something with this. And I was really proud of my ability to undereat and be hungry.

‘And that’s really terrifying. Thank God that I’ve come through the other end now. I definitely have control issues but just with different things now like my business is what I control and I John certainly gave me those tools to feel like I’m your safe place. 

You don’t need to be in control anymore because I’ve got you. And he kind of stepped into that role for me in a big way.’

Following news of Bonnie’s death, many fans paid tribute on X

‘We will issue a further statement when we are able to.’

It was first reported that Bonnie had started feeling unwell in May.

She had been bedridden for two days at her Algarve home before her worried husband Robert Sullivan took her to the private hospital she was seen at before being transferred to Faro.

The singer, who has had multiple hits in her long career and competed at the Eurovision Song Contest representing the UK in 2013, is believed to have been rushed to hospital on April 30. 

A day earlier, when her health woes first emerged, the spokesman had said: ‘We are very sorry to announce that Bonnie has been admitted to hospital in Faro, Portugal, where she has a home, for emergency intestinal surgery.

‘The surgery went well and she is now recuperating.

‘We know that all of her family, friends and fans will be concerned about this news and will be wishing her well for a full and swift recovery.’

She was said to have been ‘stable’ in an intermediate care unit at Faro Hospital before an apparent worsening of her health led to her being transferred to intensive care.

On June 15, the singer’s team said she had woken up from a medically induced coma after suffering a cardiac arrest in Portugal a month previously.

They said at the time: ‘Bonnie is no longer in a coma, but remains seriously ill. Although her condition is improving, the recovery process is slow.’

Sources said she had been maintaining her professional activity in the run-up to being taken to hospital, despite complaining of persistent pain for several weeks.

Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops pumping blood, causing it to stop beating and disrupting oxygen flow to the body and brain.

It causes instant unconsciousness and collapse. Immediate action involving starting CPR and using a defibrillator where available is essential to prevent death.

A ruptured appendix is a severe medical emergency requiring immediate surgical intervention and antibiotics to prevent fatal infections.

When an infected appendix ruptures, it creates a hole and causes fecal matter and bacteria to leak into the abdominal cavity.

From September 2026, schools must limit the number of compulsory branded items of uniform and PE kit to three or fewer.

For secondary and middle schools, this limit increases to four, provided one of the items is a tie.

The new guidelines, stemming from the Education Act and the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act, aim to ensure that school uniforms are not a financial barrier for families.

The rules state that a branded item is any piece of clothing with distinctive characteristics, such as a name or logo, that make it unique to a school.

Examples include a blazer with an embroidered logo, a sweatshirt with a specific-coloured trim, or trousers with a unique style that are only available from a specific supplier.

To further reduce costs, schools are encouraged to allow parents to purchase generic items, like a plain navy skirt, from a range of retailers, giving them more choice and value for money.

The guidelines also say schools should avoid single-supplier contracts so parents have choice of where they can buy.

Schools are urged to ensure that opportunities to acquire second-hand uniforms are freely accessible to all parents, with information on how to acquire these items published on the school’s website.

It encourages schools to consider the total cost of their uniform to ensure it is affordable for all parents, particularly those from low-income households.

Schools are also advised to avoid frequent changes to uniform specifications and to minimise the cost of higher-cost items, such as blazers and jumpers.

The new rules reflect a shift in focus towards making school uniforms more affordable and accessible for all families, ensuring that no child is deterred from attending a school due to uniform costs.

Naylors, which led the deals, secured a combined total of almost 175,000 sq ft through transactions involving Headlam Group plc, Project Padel, and national logistics company 3PL.

The largest letting was for Centralway 65, a newly developed 65,000 sq ft industrial unit on Team Valley.

Keith Stewart, managing partner at Naylors, said: “Securing three lettings of more than 50,000 sq ft in a single quarter is an excellent result and reflects the resilience of the North East industrial market.

Commercial property consultant Naylors has completed three major industrial lettings across the North East during the second quarter of 2026, securing almost 175,000 sq ft of space for Headlam Group plc, Project Padel and logistics firm 3PL (Image: Supplied)

“Whilst there remain headwinds in the marketplace, deals are still being secured for the right properties in the right locations.

“Transactions are taking longer, with enhanced due diligence from occupiers to ensure the fundamentals stack up but these lettings demonstrate the continued demand for well-located, high-quality and adaptable space.”

The Team Valley unit was let to Headlam Group plc on behalf of UK Land Estates.

It attracted strong interest from multiple occupiers, highlighting ongoing demand for prime industrial accommodation.

Mr Stewart said: “The letting of Centralway 65 attracted significant interest from multiple occupiers, highlighting the appetite for best-in-class industrial accommodation.

“The Project Padel transaction demonstrates how existing industrial buildings can be successfully repurposed to support evolving occupier requirements, while the Blyth letting shows the value that high-quality refurbishment can bring to the market.”

The second deal saw Naylors secure a 52,972 sq ft warehouse in North Tyneside for Project Padel, acting on behalf of Columbia Threadneedle.

Following a complex change-of-use process, the leisure operator will transform the site into the region’s largest indoor padel facility.

Scheduled to open this summer, the centre will feature eight double padel courts, three single courts, two pickleball courts, a gym, spa, reformer studio, bar, and social workspace.

The third letting involved a 57,000 sq ft refurbished unit in Blyth, let to logistics firm 3PL on behalf of Mileway.

The deal was completed just six weeks after refurbishment—significantly faster than the standard three to six months typically required for an industrial letting.

The unit was upgraded following the departure of previous occupier APS.

Mr Stewart said: “On average, completing an industrial property letting deal in the UK typically takes three to six months, so to secure the Blyth transaction within six weeks of the refurbishment completing was a fantastic outcome.

“The quality of the refurbishment and the location were the key selling points.”

Knight Frank acted as joint agent on the Blyth and Centralway lettings.

Naylors was the sole agent on the Merlin Way deal, while Avison Young represented the tenant.

Welsh actor Michael Sheen’s crime drama has been hailed “truly special and original” by fans.

Fans of crime dramas should add a two-season series to their viewing lists after audiences praised it as “truly special and original”. The show originally premiered on Fox in 2019, centring on the son of a notorious serial killer known as ‘The Surgeon’.

Having severed all ties with his father, he is compelled to face him once more when a copycat killer begins to emerge.

Welsh actor Michael Sheen takes on the role of the deranged murderer Martin Whitly, who is locked away in a secure psychiatric facility having committed 23 killings.

The series in question is Prodigal Son, which is available to watch on Prime Video.

During the show’s original run, Sheen spoke candidly about inhabiting the role of a serial killer, revealing that he researched a number of real-life killers to perfect his performance.

He told press at the time: “I also looked at Harold Shipman – my character in this is a very well-respected surgeon, so the idea of a doctor who was very loved and respected by people and who took advantage of that and was killing them, I looked at that.

“Ted Bundy, who people found very charming and likeable… his biggest weapon is that he’s funny, and that people like him and warm to him and enjoy his company.”

Viewers flocked to IMDb to share their opinions, with one describing it as “phenomenal”, adding: “Prodigal Son is a great show to watch with the whole family.

“It mixes crime thriller and psychological horror brilliantly. The acting is solid, the cinematography is sleek, and the plot is engaging. If any show can make me emotional and feel a character’s pain (which is what Prodigal Son achieved with me) it’s a show worth watching.”

Another viewer remarked: “Prodigal Son is a truly special and original show that stands out in the crowded field of crime dramas.

“I particularly appreciated the originality of the concept, which brought a fresh perspective to the genre. The dynamic between father and son was absolutely captivating, and the cases were far from boring, unlike in many other shows of this type.”

Since its axing, fans continue to campaign for its revival, with one stating: “I can’t believe I just found out about this TV show. It’s fantastic. And a show like this has been cancelled? Really? This is one of the more entertaining series I’ve ever watched.

“My recommendation to everyone to watch it. Please bring back the Prodigal Son. Please, please.”

A further supporter urged: “Bring it back. This is a very well written show and incredible actors and actresses. There are so many more ways the stories could go. Please consider picking up the show on another network.”

Prodigal Son is streaming on Prime Video

Joe has been sharing regular updates on social media of family life with Stacey

Joe Swash has shared a sweet fatherhood insight with fans after he was seen enjoying a date day with his wife, Stacey Solomon, and her ex.

Over the weekend, the couple were closer than ever as Stacey took to Instagram to share how they had headed on a special ‘date day’. Sharing beaming pictures of the pair to her grid, the Sort Your Life Out host wrote: “Mum & dad date day with you. Doesn’t matter what they say, to the moon and back @joeswash.”

She added: “A rare day for us. Joe’s sister has kindly taken the pickles out for the day (we love you Cassie). And we are off somewhere we’ve never been to before but always wanted to go. SO excited!! Happy Sunday Everyone. Lovvveee uuuu alll.”

It wasn’t long before Stacey revealed that she and Joe weren’t alone on their date day, as her dad, David Solomon, joined them as they headed for a special outing at Silverstone for the Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix 2026.

She also shared it was the dream of her ex to also attend the race, with Zachary’s dad and stepmum also joining the special day out. The Loose Women star quipped in a video posted to her Instagram Story: “Do you know who is really important to bring on a date day with your husband? Your last baby daddy and his wife!” Before Joe interjected: “And your dad!”

Days on and Joe couldn’t have looked more delighted as he joined Stacey at their children’s sports day. Sharing a picture of the smiling pair on Instagram, the former EastEnders star wrote: “Sports Day – the most important day in my diary!

“Picnic packed [tick emoji]. Stacey’s fold-up chair [tick emoji]. Best Running trainers [tick emoji]. 30 degrees heat [tick, sun and sweating face emojis]. I’ve only been training for this since last July! [crying laughing emoji].”

It comes after the celebrity couple, who tied the knot in a ceremony at their Essex home, Pickle Cottage, back in 2022, were earlier this year the subject of rumours about their relationship being on the rocks, with Stacey even being quizzed on national TV about not always wearing her wedding ring.

Later, Stacey spoke out about speculation about her and Joe’s marriage in a series of videos posted to her Instagram Story, then told her millions of followers she was stepping back from sharing on her large platform for a while.

She returned to updating her loyal following at the end of April and has since appeared happier than ever with her husband and their family, which includes the three children they share together – Rex, Rose and Belle.
