Emergency services were called to a serious crash in Aberdeen where several people were taken to hospital.

Three people have been rushed to hospital after a multi-vehicle crash in Aberdeen where one car had flipped on to its roof. Emergency services attended the scene around 1.30pm at Garthdee Road which has been taped off by police at the junction of Inchbrae Road.

Images taken at the scene show police officers, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) and critical care teams all in attendance. The Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) confirmed three vehicles were involved in the collision.

Three patients were taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Three special operations response teams, two ambulances and a critical care team were sent to the scene.

Two fire appliances and a heavy rescue unit attended. A SAS spokesperson said: “We received a call at 13:36 to attend a three-vehicle road traffic collision on Garthdee Road, Aberdeen.

“We dispatched multiple resources to scene including three special operations response teams (SORT), two ambulances, and a critical care team. We transported three patients to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Garthdee Road in Aberdeen is closed at the junction of Inchbrae Road due to a crash reported around 1.30pm on Wednesday, 8 April, 2026. Emergency services are in attendance, and the public is asked to avoid the area.”

Filmed last year, a live final to crown the winner will broadcast from London later in the month

I’m A Celebrity South Africa viewers were left furious over receiving spoilers just seconds into the latest episode of the ITV series.

The All Stars version of the annual Ant and Dec programme kicked off at the beginning of the week. Stars from past I’m A Celebrity series have headed back into the jungle in order to follow in the footsteps of Myleene Klass and become a ‘legend’.

Filmed last year, a live final to crown the winner will broadcast from London later in the month. Among the first arrivals was former Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas, Coronation Street legend Beverley Callard and singer Sinitta.

On Tuesday (April 7), TOWIE legend Gemma was revealed as one of the first late entrants, alongside Red Dwarf and former Coronation Street star Craig Charles. Gemma famously left I’m A Celebrity after just 72 hours in 2014.

Gemma and Craig had to battle it out for a spot in the main camp by taking on an eating challenge. They feasted on grim dishes Fish Eye Pie, Terror-rine, Brain Freeze and Bloody Moory Shots.

The main camp were asked which celebrity they wanted to back, with David Haye making the decision to choose Craig. That meant that Gemma was the newcomer of Savannah Scrub.

Things became intense as both Gemma and Craig chose to drink 30 shots of a rank liquid in front of them. Ant and Dec announced that it was now a race to see which one of them would finish first, and therefore win the challenge for their chosen camp.

However, just as they started the credits rolled and viewers at home admitted they were ‘raging’ as they have to wait until tomorrow to see the result. Heading into Wednesday night’s (April 8) episode, fans were excited to see who won.

In a surprising mood, the teaser before the opening credits began to roll indicated that it was Craig who won the challenge. The reveal arrived as a result of Gemma being seen in Savannah Scrub expressing her frustrations about the facilities.

Those watching the episode at home rushed to X, previously known as Twitter, to have their say on why they feel like they waited 24 hours for no payoff.

@Jamie2550934 said: “#ImACeleb Who ever decided to show the spoiler before the start needs sacking.” @JamieAstonReels added: “Not #imaceleb showing us that Gemma lost the challenge in the intro when there was a cliffhanger? @imacelebrity.”

@Rosie12_1994 wrote: “#imaceleb why would they show us that talk about spoiling it ffs!” @Mrssammoore posted: “Well done #ImACeleb for spoiling the result of the task we waited 24 hours for – f.sake.”

@dave_oliverr commented: “whats the point in a cliffhanger ending last night if they’re just gonna show us who wins in the previews? #imaceleb.” @MinaaMorris pointed out: “It wasn’t spoilt for us, they were already chosen which camp to be in – they’re winning for meals #imaceleb.”

It’s amazing the damage Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) and Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) continue to do, despite being dead. They were both killed weeks ago and yet are still managing to ruin the lives of the Emmerdale locals, Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) being one of them.

He’s currently under suspicion of murdering Ray and in a cruel turn of events, Ray is about to reach out from beyond the grave and make things a whole lot worse.

Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) is clutching at the tiniest straw that new evidence may come to light ahead of their trial on 4th May. He gets his wish, but it doesn’t go the way he hopes.

The Dingles are hellbent on getting Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) freed, which prompts Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), who’s guilty of framing Moira for her crimes, to approach Bear and pressure him for information that might save her.

Bear gives him a glimmer of hope in the form of a number plate Ray once asked him to hide. Robert uses Kammy to trace it to a storage facility and with the key Marlon (Mark Charnock) found at Celia’s farm, they open it.

The locker is chock full of new evidence, but it doesn’t help Bear, it incriminates him further.

In the interview room, DS Walsh slaps Bear with the first bit of new evidence – bank statements that show Ray made payments into an account in his name.

DS Walsh has a new theory, and it’s compounded by a throwaway comment Bear makes that Ray said he’d always take care of him.

The detective theorises that Bear was in fact Ray’s partner and that he murdered him in a bid for control of the whole organisation.

April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) and Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) both know otherwise, but at this stage, will anyone be able to help Bear?

Presenter Carol McGiffin was on the panel of the ITVs talk show for several years

Former Loose Women presenter Carol McGiffin has said the ITV programme was once “brilliant” and “hilarious” but that it’s “not like that” anymore.

The TV star featured on the show on and off between 2000 and 2023, when she left, reports the Express.

During a recent discussion with journalist and YouTuber Andrew Gold, she reflected on her time with the talk show, explaining: “I started in 2000, so I was there for 13 years and left for five, and then I went back.

“And back in the day, it was absolutely brilliant – even I sit there looking at the old clips on YouTube and just think, ‘Wow, that show was brilliant.’ It was hilarious, it was funny, everybody got on, it was sassy – it was just completely different.”

Laughing, she remarked it’s “not like that” any longer.

Carol also claimed that she “got censored so many times”.

“We would sit in a meeting and talk about what we were going to be talking about on the show, and I would say something, and they’d be like, ‘No, you can’t say that’,” she revealed.

The star suggested that everyone had to “kind of agree with each other” and reckons that they “still do it now”.

She claimed: “I am pretty sure there are people on that show who don’t think like that, but they do because they want to keep their job.”

When questioned about what she could express during her initial period on Loose Women, which she felt unable to voice later, Carol responded: “Well, we didn’t have the ‘fake pandemic’ then. That was the straw which broke the camel’s back, really.”

She continued: “When I watch the clips, I go, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe we were allowed to say that.’

“In some of the skits we used to do with half-naked men, it was just a laugh, and the men were very willing. We didn’t have them tied up around the back. We always got a little bit slated for it but, you know, it was funny, it was just fun. It was a bit embarrassing!”

ITV has been approached for comment.

Loose Women airs on weekdays on ITV and ITVX.

England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler found form at the Indian Premier League before winning the match for Gujarat Titans with a final-ball run-out in a remarkable one-run victory over Delhi Capitals.

Buttler, who had gone 18 innings without a fifty including his difficult run at the T20 World Cup, looked closer to his best form in hitting 52 from 27 balls in Gujarat’s 210-4.

He struck five sixes, including one trademark scoop and a towering six over long-on, before being dismissed in the eighth over.

But his influence was not done there as he ran out Kuldeep Yadav – throwing down the stumps with an underarm effort from his position as keeper – as the India spinner and David Miller tried to scamper a single from the final ball with two runs needed.

South Africa international Miller had hit two sixes and two fours in the 19th over before clearing the ropes again in the last, only to turn down a single with two balls to go and then miss seamer Prasidh Krishna’s bouncer to finish.

A crestfallen Miller finished 41 not out from 20 balls while opener KL Rahul made 92.

“Amazing,” Buttler said. “Great to get the win. It was a very lucky throw but I am delighted.

“We desperately needed a win and I am glad we manage to sneak through.”

Buttler’s fifty was his first across formats since a 97 not out in the SA20 in early January.

He averaged 10.9 across eight matches at the T20 World Cup and made 38 from 33 balls and a 14-ball 26 in his previous innings at this year’s IPL.

Here his first runs came with a six over long-on and he followed by hitting India spinner Axar Patel for four over extra cover and another six over long-on.

He then scooped and drove seamer Mukesh Kumar as Gujarat took 63 from the first five overs. India Test captain Shubman Gill also hit 70 from 45 balls and all-rounder Washington Sundar 55 from 32.

“I have been searching for [runs] a little but felt in good touch since I have been here,” Buttler said.

“I have played long enough to know that it will come back at some point.”

The former England captain was bowled by a ball from Kuldeep which skidded low, but the knock was an encouraging return for one of England’s greatest white-ball players, whose place in the national side came under scrutiny during the World Cup.

His tournament included a run of five single-figure scores but England stuck with him throughout their run to the semi-finals.

After the IPL, Buttler will play in the T20 Blast for Lancashire before England’s first white-ball matches of the summer against India in July.

England’s focus switches to the 50-over format this summer with the next World Cup the one-day international edition in the autumn of 2027.

Buttler has not scored a 50-over fifty since February 2023. He averaged 17.9 over 30 international innings across formats this winter.

Donald Trump is once again appealing a blockbuster fraud penalty against the president and his real-estate empire after his political adversary Letitia James won a multi-million dollar verdict against his sprawling family business.

Last year, a fractured state appeals court tossed a $500 million penalty against Trump and his associates after judges determined the penalty, which has ballooned with interest, was “excessive.”

But the court upheld Justice Arthur Engoron’s findings that the president and his business partners committed brazen fraud, falling short of the vindication that the president sought through the courts to save him.

The president is now asking to throw out the remaining fraud ruling, which his legal team claimed is based on politically motivated and “legally and factually baseless” and “demonstrably wrong” arguments.

The 119-page appeal called on the court to “put an end to this legally deficient case.”

They accused James — who was targeted by Trump’s Department of Justice after her victory in the fraud case — of “unconstitutional selective enforcement.”

“The reason here was pure politics, as Attorney General James’s own statements make clear,” they wrote.

In 2024, Engoron’s verdict in Manhattan determined that Trump and his co-defendants in his Trump Organization empire had illegally enriched themselves by defrauding banks and investors as part of a decade-long scheme to secure favorable financing terms for some of his brand-building properties.

The decision followed a bench trial and three-year investigation under James’s office, who had accused Trump and his associates of fraudulently convincing banks and lenders to give them favorable financing terms based on bogus and inflated financial statements.

The event will mark the 10th anniversary of Bowie’s death at aged 69 from liver cancer.

David Bowie’s famous Glastonbury band are set to reunite on the banks of Loch Lomond this November in order to raise money for one of the rock star’s favourite charities – Save the Children. The event will also mark the 10th anniversary of Bowie’s passing from liver cancer, aged only 69.

Throughout this legendary career Bowie continually showed support for the charity. This included donating the proceeds of his 50th birthday celebration at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 1997, which was a show that included stars such as Lou Reed, Robert Smith of The Cure and The Foo Fighters.

The fundraising event, titled Bowie: Live on the Loch, will take place on November 7 and 8 at Cameron House and will include his band playing live music from their headlining Glastonbury Festival set from 2000. The band will include guitarist Earl Slick, keyboard player Mike Garson, and bassist Gail Ann Dorsey.

Garson played on more than a dozen of Bowie’s albums including Aladdin Sane, while Dorsey also provided a vocal duet on Under Pressure at the Glastonbury set, which quickly became a highlight of the appearance.

The house band will also include multi-instrumentalist Mark Plati and drummer Sterling Campbell, who played with Bowie from the early 1990s. The band will also be joined by a variety of special guests.

In the video to announce the upcoming event, which sees Slick playing Golden Years on the roof of Cameron House, he says the fundraiser will be a “celebration of David Bowie’s life and music in aid of Save the Children”.

In addition to the performance, the event will also have rare footage of Bowie and a photo exhibition put together by Chris Duffy, who is the son of Brian Duffy, who shot three of the rock star’s album covers. There will also be a gala dinner by Michelin-starred chef Graeme Cheevers and an auction of signed guitars.

Slick, who played lead guitar on Bowie’s 1970s Young Americans and Station To Station albums as well as Heathen, Reality and comeback 2013 album The Next Day, will host the guitar auction with London shop Regent Sound, with confirmed contributions from Peter Frampton and Duff McKagan from Guns N’ Roses.

Speaking about Bowie’s love for the charity, Slick said: “David had a lot of motivation to help out. It wasn’t a big bragging thing – it was just done.

“That’s what I loved about it. He did it under the radar. We all live in increasingly uncertain and turbulent times around the world.

“More kids need more help. So it’s time to do it and I cannot think of anything that David would rather lend his support to.”

Funds for the Save the Children charity will be raised by ticket sales, merchandise and a live auction, as well as the charity auction.

George Graham, executive director of global impact at Save the Children, said: “With so much instability and uncertainty around the globe, it is an exceptionally challenging and dangerous time to be a child in so many corners of the world.

“At Save the Children, our only goal is to support children so they can have a safe, happy and healthy childhood. We are deeply grateful to everyone who is honouring David Bowie by backing this star-studded weekend, which will help bring a better future for children here in the UK and around the world.”

Bowie had played in Scotland a few times over his career, with his first show being at the Palais in Dundee in April 1965. Back then he supported Johnny Kidd and The Pirates with this group David Bowie and The Buzz. He also famously performed at Glasgow Barrowlands back in 1997.
