A pair of Airbnb hosts who record themselves inspecting their accommodation after guests depart have gone viral for their strict house rules.
Cassie and Jon, a couple in their early twenties, document themselves doing a post-checkout clean of their property in Glennville, Georgia, remarking on everything from how clean the guests have left the toilet to what snacks have been eaten and whether the furniture is out of place.
TikTok viewers have roasted the couple for their extreme attention to detail, since they have strict house rules and sometimes complain about what state the guests leave the property in after checkout.
One video shows the couple criticizing their checked-out guests for leaving the TV remote out of place, for “disrespecting the house rules” by leaving a box of leftovers in the fridge and for moving the ottoman a few inches closer to the couch.

“It is so simple to put your trash in the trash can,” Cassie said in one video, remarking on pizza boxes left on the counter. “The pillows and the blankets are all out of place,” Jon said in another clip.
“Y’all need to lighten up,” one person commented. “Why do I feel like you’d be mad if they used the blankets?” said another.
“Can [guests] sit on the toilet when they need it?” joked a third. “They USED the SPACE?!”
“I was defending y’all bc I thought it was a skit. Now I have to go apologize to people,” quipped another. “Honestly this is so obnoxious.”

Since Cassie and Jon’s videos have gone viral, other content creators have parodied the couple, skewering their strict house rules and their reactions when the accommodation has been lived in.
The content creator @daadisnacks criticized the couple for complaining about small details when they charge a $50 cleaning fee per stay. “Influencers run an Airbnb with more rules than a maximum security prison,” he captioned the post.
“Oh my god, you guys, the guests who paid $350 to use our home, used our home, and I’m literally shaking,” he said in the skit.

“Hey Y’all, we’re gonna go in and check out and see how bad these renters messed up the Airbnb…

“We already know the renters had a dog or some kids because this stick was out of place in the yard… can’t imagine what they’ve done inside.”
Later in the video, the content creator, in character as Jon, comments on how the ottoman has been moved a few inches.
“They moved the furniture! That’s house rule number 71!” they quipped to the camera. “Look at all the laundry in the laundry basket… they were here for two weeks.. How many showers did they need?”
The Independent has reached out to Airbnb and Cassie and Jon for comment.

Millions of people could be unknowingly putting extra strain on their hearts through everyday habits they rarely think twice about.
Dr Francesco Lo Monaco, a cardiologist and author of Heart Saviour, has shared how certain silent risk factors can gradually weaken the heart over many years before symptoms appear.
“Many people assume they would know if something was wrong with their heart, but that’s often not the case,” he said.
Here are some of the most common, yet modifiable, habits he suggested could be contributing to poor heart health – and what you can do about each.

Everyday habits that could weaken your heart
1. Poorly controlled blood pressure
If your blood pressure remains high for months or even years, your heart will need to pump against greater resistance, the health expert explained.
“Initially the heart muscle adapts by becoming thicker, but over time these changes can affect how efficiently the heart works,” he said.

“If left untreated, this can contribute to enlargement and weakening of the heart and eventually increase the risk of heart failure, abnormal heart rhythms and other cardiovascular complications.”
This is one of the reasons high blood pressure is often described as a “silent killer”, he added, because many people have no symptoms until the damage has already begun.
GPs and some pharmacies can check blood pressure. Boots offers a free health MOT for over-40s which includes a blood pressure check. Alternatively you can buy your own blood pressure monitor and check it at home.
Avoiding salty food, alcohol, caffeine and smoking are also important. Some people might also benefit from taking medicine to treat the issue.
2. Untreated sleep apnoea
Sleep apnoea is a condition that causes repeated pauses in breathing when you’re sleeping. It’s yet another health issue that can slip under the radar.
Dr Lo Monaco warned that repeated drops in oxygen overnight increase stress on the cardiovascular system.

“Sleep apnoea doesn’t just cause tiredness,” he said. “It is strongly associated with high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms and structural changes within the heart.”
The most common symptoms include: loud snoring, noisy and laboured breathing, periods where breathing is interrupted by gasping or snoring. As a result, it’s usually first spotted by a partner, friend or family member.
People with sleep apnoea might also find they wake up with headaches, still feel tired and find it hard to concentrate.
It’s typically treated with lifestyle interventions like weight loss, stopping smoking and reducing alcohol intake, but the NHS notes many people also need a CPAP machine to help supply oxygen over night.

3. Drinking too much alcohol
Heavy drinking over long periods of time can weaken the heart muscle. “Alcohol-related heart disease often develops gradually, so people may not notice any symptoms until significant damage has occurred,” said Dr Lo Monaco.
The NHS advises cutting back a little each day, and letting others know you’re doing this so they can offer support. Swap strong beers or wines for ones with a lower strength (ABV in %) and aim to have several drink-free days each week.
4. Physical inactivity

Regular movement helps maintain cardiovascular health. Studies have consistently found physical activity has a protective effect against heart disease, which can lead to heart attacks.
“A sedentary lifestyle doesn’t directly enlarge or weaken the heart on its own, but it contributes to several of the major risk factors that do, including obesity and high blood pressure,” said Dr Lo Monaco.
Cardiac rehab physiotherapist Helen Alexander previously told the British Heart Foundation (BHF) that three types of exercise can help strengthen heart health. These are: aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling and swimming; resistance and strength training, such as lifting weights; and exercise that improves balance and flexibility, such as tai chi and yoga.
Dr Lo Monaco concluded that if you experience breathlessness, swollen ankles, chest pain, palpitations or unexplained fatigue, you should seek medical assessment.

“The encouraging news is that many of these risk factors are modifiable,” he said. “Keeping your blood pressure under control, treating sleep apnoea, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly and limiting alcohol can all reduce the strain placed on the heart over time.”
Junior Andre has revealed he used to have a crush on his stepmother Emily, before she tied the knot with his dad Peter.
The 21-year-old aspiring singer, son to Mysterious Girl crooner Peter and Katie Price, had his secret initially blabbed by younger sister Princess, 19, during a new episode of her ITV2 reality show The Princess Diaries.
While enjoying a BBQ outside in the garden towards the end of the second episode of season three, Princess asked her dad Pete, 53, when he knew he loved his wife Emily, whom he married in 2015.
Emily, who works as an NHS doctor and shares three children with Peter, is 36 – 15 years older than Junior, and 17 years younger than her husband.

Peter then told his oldest kids, who recently revealed their matching tattoo, that they were friends for two years before things turned romantic and they started to date in 2012, with Junior and Princess thought to have first met her when they were aged around five and three, respectively.
Princess reflected that she had known Emily ‘literally my whole life’, before turning to Junior and adding: ‘And you used to fancy her when we were younger.’

With her slightly mortified brother laughing along at the on-camera revelation – while his dad cackled – Junior then recalled how distraught he’d felt learning that Emily was Peter’s girlfriend.
Junior responded: ‘Did I cry to you or something? Because you said that Emily is going to be your girlfriend and I cried and said, “No, she’s my girlfriend”.’
Princess then quipped in a to-camera segment: ‘There’s some things that Junior will never let me live down, and there’s some things that I’ll never let Junior live down… and that is one of those things.’

Returning to the garden scene, Princess – known affectionately by her family as Bista – then added: ‘I remember we were camping outside in the garden, and you were like, “Emily, I want you to sleep in my tent!”’

Peter and Emily became parents to their oldest daughter together Millie, 12, in January 2014.
Following their lavish marriage at in July 2015 at Mamhead House in Devon, they went on to welcome nine-year-old Theo in November 2016 and youngest daughter Arabella Rose, now two, in April 2024.
Elsewhere in their conversation from The Princess Diaries, Peter spoke to Junior about Princess possibly moving into his bigger bedroom at their house now he was living with girlfriend Jasmine.
‘Wait, if I got a boyfriend, would he have to sleep in Junior’s room? The spare room?’ Princess asked, before her protective father revealed his rules for her.

Princess also admitted that she struggled to keep up with her mum’s ‘extreme’ love life, following her latest – rather turbulent – marriage to most recent husband, Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews.
While she doesn’t ‘follow’ the former glamour model’s ‘stories’ about her romances, she shared that she hopes Katie is ‘happy’.
‘Mum’s in Dubai right now to see her husband and to be honest I don’t really know much about it,’ the teenager explained.
‘I’ve never met him but mum’s love life is everywhere at the moment. Mum’s love life stories are quite extreme and honestly I don’t even follow it myself, but as long as my mum’s happy, we’re happy, and that’s all that matters.’

Katie tied the knot with her fourth husband in January just weeks after they met for the first time, and Princess admits her mother’s life has been a whirlwind, saying: ‘Mum never has time to relax, her life is chaos.’
(Picture: Instagram)
However, during the show, Katie was seen dispensing advice to Princess and Junior, warning them about the dangers that come with wealth.
Katie told the pair: ‘It’s good to have money but it doesn’t bring you happiness, it’s the people around you that bring you happiness. When you’ve got money you attract the wrong people.
‘Because you two have been brought up seeing that, you’ve seen so many hangers on use and abuse me for all kinds of different things, hopefully you will have learnt to keep your circle small.’
Katie was previously blocked from appearing in the first season, but she made a cameo in the second while Peter has made his debut on the show in series three, after signing an agreement in February to never speak ill of each other again.
However a review of Katie’s recent life and times documentary saw her already test the limits of that truce, when she shared a fan review of it which appeared to label one of her exes a ‘narcissist’.
But joking about the situation in a montage shown on her own series, Princess deadpanned: ‘What could possibly go wrong?’

Hunt continues for man after two teenage girls ‘are raped in an alleyway’ in Blackpool
Hull Crown Court heard that over 12 years, Bush breached the trust placed in him by grieving families “on an almost industrial scale”, by keeping bodies for months after they should have been cremated, giving out the wrong ashes, taking money for funeral plans without making any of the arrangements and stealing charity donations collected at services.
More than two million people will head to polling stations on Thursday to vote for a new Greater Manchester mayor in what is set to be the biggest by-election in British history.
The mayoral role was created in 2017, with Mr Burnham elected as the inaugural holder and winning every election since – never without less than 60% of the vote.
Attentions will now turn to who Manchester chooses as his replacement.
Focus will be on if Labour can recover sufficiently from its devastating set of results in the May and lean on Burnham’s legacy to claim victory.

Or will history be made by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK or Zack Polanski’s Green Party? Both are hoping to expand their mayoral footprints.
Reform UK had a disappointing result in the Makerfield by-election, and Mr Farage’s party will undoubtedly be facing pressure to win after he resigned as MP of Clacton-upon-Sea earlier this month amid the furore over his finances.
Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain will also be challenging for some of Reform UK’s votes, while Mr Polanski’s party will look to add to its Manchester victories after winning the seat of Gorton and Denton.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday praised the late Senator Lindsey Graham as a bipartisan lawmaker and ‘legend’ who rose from humble roots to become a powerful force to be reckoned with in the US Senate.
‘He was a man who gave America the full measure of his good and mighty heart,’ Trump said of Graham, the late South Carolina Republican who died unexpectedly earlier this month at 71. ‘Until that heart itself just gave out.’
‘While he was always quick to laugh, no one ever doubted the gravity of his mission to all in a strong America,’ Trump said of Graham during a memorial service at Washington National Cathedral.
‘There’s probably not a single town in South Carolina where Lindsey did not help repair a bridge, expand a school, improve a hospital, or recover from a disaster,’ Trump said of Graham, who served for more than two decades in the Senate.

‘As you remember, Lindsey and I did not exactly get off to the best of starts’ while running against each other in the 2016 Republican presidential primary elections, Trump told attendees, recounting how, at one point during the primary race, he shared the late senator’s personal phone number during one of his rallies.
‘I shared his personal cell phone number with the millions of people that happened to be watching that particular day,’ Trump remembered. ‘He said, ‘’I had that number for 20 years.” That was the beginning of a friendship, in a way.’
‘But it was Lindsey who had the last laugh,’ Trump added, ‘because while I blew up his phone call for one day, we became great friends, and Lindsey did not stop calling me for the next 10 years.’
He ‘was a force of nature, and I will miss him greatly,’ the president said.

Trump’s remarks cap a two-day series of funerals for Graham in Washington and in the Palmetto State, where he will be laid to rest.
A number of high-profile attendees were seen streaming into the National Cathedral before services began, including current and former administration officials, foreign leaders, and Cabinet officials.
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose confirmation Graham helped push through the Senate Judiciary Committee years earlier, was seated in the front row alongside his wife, Ashley. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were also in attendance.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche were seated together in the second row.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright were also seated near the front of the cathedral.
Earlier, Graham’s former Senate colleagues honored his life and career at a smaller ceremony held in the Senate Rotunda. That memorial was, at times, highly emotional, as many in the chamber remembered the years they spent working alongside Graham, and walked around his casket to say their final goodbyes.
‘I look forward to the days when you make us all laugh again,’ Senate Majority Leader John Thune said of Graham at the Capitol tribute, pausing briefly as he choked back tears.

Vice President JD Vance also spoke at the service. ‘I remember Lindsey Graham as a man who loved people, and because he loved people, he was willing to reason with them, to respect them, and ultimately to persuade them,’ the vice president said.
Lindsey’s death was announced just after 2am Eastern time on July 12.
The cause of death was aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, according to a statement issued by his office at 5pm.
‘The death certificate will be PENDING until all the toxicological and microscopic testing are finalized, and at that point the death certificate will be updated to reflect the cause of death and appropriately classify the manner of death,’ a spokesman for Graham’s office said at the time.
Earlier this morning, Greater Manchester Police issued an appeal via social media to ask for the public’s help in their search for a missing 13-year-old girl.
Mia was last seen last night (July 27) in Glenbrook Gardens, Bolton, at around 8:20 pm.
This evening, police have confirmed that the teenager was ‘found safe and well this morning.’

She was described as four feet tall with straight, shoulder-length brown hair.
The police appeal stated Mia was last seen wearing grey leggings, a black jacket, and black socks with beige Crocs.
Greater Manchester Police put out the following statement: “Mia is around four feet tall with straight, shoulder-length brown hair and was last seen wearing grey leggings, black jeans, and black socks in beige crocs.
“Police in Bolton are becoming increasingly concerned about Mia, 13, who was last seen last night.

“Anyone with information about Mia’s whereabouts should contact police on 101—or 999 in an emergency—and quote log 3508-27/07/26.”
While wildfire numbers in England and Wales remain below the 788 recorded by the same point last year, fire chiefs warned “continued dry conditions, combined with warmer temperatures and harvesting activity in many rural areas”, were creating conditions in which fires can start and spread rapidly.
But Alex Wilson AM, Reform UK London Assembly Group Leader, said: “I am deeply troubled by the fact that Zack Polanski has deflected blame and not apologised for his dangerous social media use. This is not the first time he has got into trouble for his posts, having previously scolded the brave police officers who apprehended the alleged Golders Green attacker. There is no doubt that this vile post is incitement to murder.”
