The star is about to mark two years of sobriety after hitting rock bottom and wishing ‘the drink would take her’ and opened up about her progress on the In Recovery Ark House Rehab podcast last month.

She said: ‘I had a spiritual awakening – really it’s just like I was waiting for this my whole life [going sober].

‘I felt safe after my first meeting. I felt like I belonged there after my first in person meeting. There is so much in the programme that should be taught in schools. I pass on bits to my kids. 

‘It completely changed me. It has the ability to change you as a person and it felt like I was waiting for this my whole life. Life will throw stuff at me still but now I deal with it in a completely different way. 

‘I went from not wanting to live to now wanting to squeeze every moment out of my life. I missed having some kind of faith. The programme was spiritual for me.’

She also opened up on how things went downhill so fast, explaining: ‘The public saw someone in control of their life and being fun. There was this battle between the public me and private me.

‘My drinking only really got bad in the two years up to my sobriety. I used it as a mood alterer. It eased the bridge from public me to private me. It was fun in lockdown and I was a bit hedonistic. 

‘But then it pulled the rug from under me and I knew I shouldn’t have been doing it. I was shocked how quickly it deteriorated. I never thought that would be me. I quite enjoyed the white lies as I got to create a different world that facilitated the drinking.

‘Deep inside I was hoping the drink would take me. That’s the only way I can articulate it.

‘I was hoping that one day it would just be so bad that I wouldn’t wake up.’

Back in January Ulrika revealed the harrowing phone call she got when her drinking spiralled out of control. 

Speaking in an emotional chat she recalled a tough conversation she had with her best friend at the peak of her alcohol struggles.

She said that although the conversation was ‘so shaming’ it was the moment that she knew something needed to change.  

Joining Spencer Matthews on his podcast UNTAPPED, she began: ‘It was awful. My best friend phoned me on a Saturday morning. 

‘She said, ‘I need to speak to you because I spoke to you at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon and I could understand a f***ing word you said. You have a problem and I can’t help you.’

‘I was crying my eyes out because there was no way of avoiding it. She said, ‘This is coming from a place of love, but you need help.”

Ulrika continued: ‘I still didn’t stop drinking, I had to drink on that conversation because that was so shaming. It was awful. 

‘I knew that she knew that I had a problem too. And I was said, ‘I can’t do this anymore.” 

The TV presenter credits the shocking admission from June 2024 for saving her life and rescuing her from the depths of addiction.

Claims city off-licence sold alcohol and vapes to children as young as 10

Published

on

Cambridgeshire Live

Reports by a police force suggest that children as young as 10 were sold vapes

An off-licence store in Cambridgeshire will have its licence reviewed after reports of underage sales to children as young as 10. Cambridgeshire Police has requested that Peterborough City Council review the licence of Westgate News on Westgate, Peterborough following concerns.

Advertisement

This application was made by the force on the grounds of preventing crime and disorder and protecting children from harm. The application was requested after enquiries suggested that the shop engaged in “persistent and systemic sale of alcohol, vapes and nicotine products to children”.

The force has confirmed evidence that a 14-year-old girl was sold vodka, a vape, and a soft drink by staff on January 1, 2026.

During a compliance visit in January, several other license breaches were identified. These included: no personal license holder being present during alcohol sales, failure to maintain staff training records and failure to comply with CCTV retention requirements.

The force claimed it had received “consistent intelligence demonstrating a clear pattern of unlawful sales”. Intelligence intel received in June suggests that a 12-year-old child was sold a vape.

Advertisement

According to the force, the shop is described as “well known in school to sell vapes to children”. Cambridgeshire Police said this demonstrates that the store has “developed a reputation amongst school-age children as a reliable source of age-restricted products”. Reports dating back to 2025 indicated the shop sold vapes to students in school uniform, and to children as young as 10.

The application claims the premises has “continued unlawful activity despite enforcement” and “developed a reputation as a source of illegal underage sales”.

The licensing review application, submitted by Cambridgeshire Police, states: “The volume, consistency, and longevity of intelligence—combined with evidential incidents and enforcement action—demonstrate that this premises is systematically undermining the licensing objectives, particularly in respect of children.

“The latest intelligence confirms that these issues remain ongoing, necessitating decisive action by the Licensing Authority.”

Peterborough City Council’s licensing team will now respond to the force’s concerns.

Jordan Pickford‘s wife Megan and Jude Bellingham‘s girlfriend Ashlyn Castro were seen in the stands as they led the WAGs rooting for England ahead of the World Cup semi-finals on Wednesday night.

Megan, 30, and Ashlyn, 28, were the first to arrive out of the WAGs to watch England’s semi-final World Cup game against Argentina. 

Eberechi Eze wife, Naima Corbin, was later spotted in the stands ahead of the game, while Harry Kane‘s wife Kate posed for a snap outside the stadium. 

Just hours earlier, Megan was the first of the wives to throw support behind the Three Lions as they prepare to take on Argentina.

The influencer teamed the look with a red Celine belt and an adorable white Chanel bag.

She then switched into a mini black-and-white dress from Meshki, styled with a red Chanel bag.

‘Ladies I need help for today’s outfit? Dress or shirt,’ she penned alongside the clip.

Just moments earlier, she took to Instagram to share a sweet tribute with their children for Jordan: ‘Today’s mood, Go Daddy’.

Megan, 30, shares children Arlo, Ostara and Misty with the goalkeeper, 32.

Their children looked adorable in football kits with ‘Daddy’ on the back as they cheered ‘Daddy, daddy!’ and jumped in circles prior to the game.

This was followed by another post, showing off her chic outfit before she headed to the stadium. 

Prince William – who serves as President of the Football Association – congratulated England on their World Cup quarter-final win over Norway last week, saying they are a ‘special team’ and the result was ‘never in doubt’. 

Megan has made the most of her US jaunt with a lavish shopping spree over the last few weeks.

Megan took to Instagram Stories to document her shopping trip, and while no doubt she picked up a few designer treats, she also posted a snap of an eye-catching designer wallet with a football pitch design.

She captioned the post: ‘Bought husband a special World Cup wallet.’ 

Like all of this year’s England WAGs, Megan had prepared a glamorous designer wardrobe to take her seat in the stands for England’s World Cup matches.

But her chance to debut her looks was hit by a week-long delay when Megan revealed her airline had lost her suitcase last month.

Hours ahead of England’s match against Ghana on Tuesday, Megan revealed she’d finally been reunited with her suitcase.

Posting a hilarious update on her social media accounts on Monday night Megan uploaded a video of her opening the door of her hotel room to see her prized baggage.

Dressed in pink joggers and top Megan pulls the suitcase into her room and gives it a big hug as Abba‘s classic hit ‘Honey Honey’ played.

She wrote: ‘A special delivery arrived it will not be leaving my sight before tomorrow’s game,’ ending the post with the hashtag suitcasegate.

Great Yorkshire Show day two sees temperatures rise

Great Yorkshire Show day two sees temperatures rise

A total of 37,500 people flocked to the show today, with 150,000 visiting the event over the four days.

Peter Wright once again made an appearance at the show, and was put to good use inspecting children’s veg box competition entries, before taking part in a talk and a meet and greet for fans.

Peter, star of Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet, admitted that the popular TV show almost didn’t happen after he told producers when it first started, “I don’t think it will work”.

However, 22 series later, he was proven wrong and has claimed “it’s the most unusual but most rewarding job” during a talk on the Ariat GYS stage.

Elsewhere, talking diversification on farm and moorland, Paul Tompkins, deputy president of the National Farmers’ Union said he and the union would “always favour” using good-quality land for food production or sustainability over renewable energy projects.

His comments come after an application was submitted to build 23, 200-metre-high wind turbines on the remote Hope Moor site between Arkengarthdale and Teesdale.

Mr Tompkins, who farms at South Acre Farm in the Vale of York, milking a herd of 400 Holstein cows, said: “Farmers do have to diversify and adjust to the renewable energy game, but it has to be done in the right way.

Advertisement

“Land should be prioritised for food production, and arguments about renewable energy should be balanced with concerns for landscape, tourism and communities.”

He called on farmers, farming groups and the government to have an “open dialogue” when it comes to renewable energy.

Countryside conservation talks included panels discussing how best to restore curlew populations across the uplands; and River Ure supporters explaining why they are passionate about seeing wild Atlantic salmon be a self-sustaining species once more.

Brian Towers, fishing guide on the Castle Bolton estate, said: “There are lots of issues for wild Salmon in the Ure, but one of the main problems is that stock is being decimated by predators and we are not getting the returning salmon to breed after going out to sea.

Advertisement

“We have offered many solutions to the Government and Environment Agency, such as controlling bird populations which eat young salmon and creating hatcheries to support the salmon – but we are not allowed or being listened to.”

The talk heard how the River Ure was historically rich with salmon, but the population has now all but disappeared.

The show continues on Thursday and Friday, with all tickets sold out in advance.

‘If it wasn’t for my hero neighbour’s quick action during fire, my daughter may not be here’

Published

on

Belfast Live

After the fire on the Eleventh Night gutted her family home, Ashleigh said: “I owe my life to that man, he saved my daughter”

A mum from Co Antrim has praised her “hero” neighbour for saving her daughter after a fire on the Eleventh Night gutted their family home.

Advertisement

A row of terraced houses in the Knockleigh Walk area of Greenisland caught fire on the Eleventh Night as a result of the embers from a bonfire lit nearby.

At the height of the operation, the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service had 45 personnel in attendance at the scene, including six pumping appliances, a com­mand sup­port unit, and an aer­ial lad­der. Five fire­fight­ing jets were also in use along­side an aer­ial water tower.

Ashleigh McCleanaghan, 40, was on holiday in Blackpool at the time, while her eldest daughter and son were at home. As embers from the bonfire started moving into their back garden, a refurbished shed her 17-year-old daughter uses as her bedroom caught fire.

Their back garden was completely destroyed, with their oil tank also catching fire, while their kitchen, a bedroom, and their bathroom also suffered damage.

Advertisement

Speaking to Belfast Live, Ashleigh said: “The bonfire was lit on the Eleventh Night. My daughter Alex was in the house watching the bonfire and the embers were covering over above the house. You could clearly see the size of them; she was at the front of the house.

“Our neighbour, Davy, battered the door to say the back garden was on fire and when the both of them went out, Alex turned on the hose and Davy went to soak the place.

“The embers were coming down that quickly, the fire began to spread, and before we knew it the shed was completely up. The two fences either side and the oil tank also went.

“I got the first boat back from Blackpool and came up home. The back of our house was destroyed, everything outside in the garden including Alex’s room, and everything in it completely gone. The kitchen was damaged, the boys’ bedroom damaged and the bathroom.”

Advertisement

Ashleigh has praised the quick efforts of her neighbour, David (Davy) Haighton, who rushed to her home to help her children.

“All I was worried about was my daughter. The fact that if it hadn’t had been for Davy next door, it could have been so different. Alex may not be here. I owe my life to that man, he saved my daughter,” she said.

“I told him he was my hero, that man got burnt and there was blood all down his arms from him and Alex trying to put out the fire. He took the hose, he wouldn’t let her do it. He’s lived beside us all for a long time, my children all love him and his wife Esther.”

Advertisement

Amid the blaze, where two houses were gutted and two others were damaged in the terrace, Davy’s house was destroyed, leaving him and his wife with nothing.

Ashleigh said: “We got off lightly with the fire – Davy’s house is completely gutted. All his memories of 50 years living in that house, all his medals from when he was in the Territorial Army (TA).

“I will always be in awe of that man and everytime I see him I tell him he will never know how much it means to us. He keeps playing it down but the other day he said to me if there was anything we needed to let him know.

“He has nothing, we’re going to be able to get back into our house they’re hoping. He has absolutely nothing, but he’s more worried about us and the kids.

Advertisement

“It’s very hard to take in that things could have been a lot worse, and if it wasn’t for him, Alex could be gone. That’s what gets me through what has happened. You’re walking around talking to people at the minute like you’re just numb from everything.”

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said the most probable cause of the fire is thought to be accidental and investigations remain ongoing.

‘Leave your pets and go’ Residents evacuated over fears Cairngorms wildfire could spread

Published

Daily Record

Fire engines and specialist wildfire resources have been scrambled to the national park after the blaze broke out on Wednesday afternoon.

Residents in the Highlands have been evacuated after a huge wildfire at Cairngorms National Park. The blaze broke out at the beauty spot on Wednesday afternoon – sending large volumes of smoke towards nearby towns.

Four fire engines and specialist wildfire resources have been scrambled to the incident at Ryvoan Bothy, near Nethy Bridge. There are no reported injuries.

Duncan Ferguson lives in Glenmore, a village near Aviemore. He said police came to his house during the afternoon, telling residents to “leave your pets and go”. Mr Ferguson, who is operations manager at the Spey Fishery Board, said a nearby campsite had not yet been evacuated.

He said the fire could become severe and affect property unless it was contained quickly, telling the Press Association: “It’s going to be bad, it’s going to be major unless they get hold of it. It’s heathland at the minute, but it’s started to burn in the upper area of the regeneration of the Caledonian pine forest.

“Once it comes down into there, it’s dry, dry ground, with a real load to burn. It’s just going to get hotter and hotter.”

Glenmore Lodge, a nearby outdoors centre, said it was within the evacuation zone and advised travellers to avoid the area. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) told residents in Aviemore, Glenmore and the surrounding communities to keep their doors and windows closed.

Group commander Raymond King said: “We are currently in attendance at a large fire in the open near to Ryvoan Bothy within the Cairngorms National Park. Operations control were first alerted at 11.49am and we have mobilised four fire appliances and specialist wildfire resources to the area.

“There are no reported casualties. Due to large volumes of smoke travelling towards populated areas nearby, residents in Aviemore, Glenmore and the surrounding communities should keep their windows and doors closed.

“If you are within this area and can see or smell smoke, please follow the same advice. While we want people to enjoy the good weather, we ask that anyone in the Cairngorms National Park near to Aviemore and Glenmore avoid the area.

“This part of the Cairngorms National Park is popular with hillwalkers, and we ask that people remain vigilant while active firefighting continues.”

A spokesperson for the Cairngorms National Park Authority said: “The ongoing incident near Ryvoan Bothy is deeply concerning, and we are grateful to all those who are working to tackle the fire. We would echo the advice of SFRS to avoid the area while firefighters and partners work to bring this blaze under control.

“This incident – alongside wildfires we are seeing across the UK this week – serves as a stark reminder of the risks that periods of drier, hotter weather can pose.”

Firefighters are also battling a gorse fire at Garry Park Wood at Lochore Meadows Country Park in Fife. Videos seen on social media showed flames and smoke rising from the park.

The SFRS said they were alerted to the blaze at about 3.15pm on Wednesday, and mobilised one appliance to the scene. Parts of Scotland are at very high risk of wildfire over the next few days and the fire service has warned people to “stay vigilant” and act responsibly.

The SFRS, in conjunction with the Scottish Wildfire Forum, had earlier issued wildfire warnings for the central Highlands, southern and eastern Scotland. The alert, warning of a very high risk of wildfire, is in force from Wednesday until Monday.

It follows days of hot and dry weather in many parts of the country. The fire service said anyone who sees a large outdoor fire should call 999 immediately, giving the location and any other relevant information.

Yorkshire Vet almost never made it to screen says Peter Wright

Peter Wright, star of Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet, told a packed audience at the Great Yorkshire Show that he was unsure about the programme’s potential when it was first pitched to him.

He said: “I didn’t think it would work at first, but has been the most unusual but most rewarding job.”

Mr Wright explained he eventually agreed to take part after realising the series could shine a light on real farm work, the challenges facing rural communities and the bond between people and animals.

Now in its 22nd series, the show has become a staple of British television, following vets as they treat pets, livestock and wildlife across North Yorkshire and beyond.

He was speaking on the Ariat GYS stage on the second day of the 167th annual Great Yorkshire Show, where he inspected entries in a children’s vegetable box competition before hosting a meet‑and‑greet with fans.

Crowds gathered early around the stage, with families and viewers queuing for photos and autographs and many telling him they had watched the series since it first aired.

The event continues to draw huge numbers, with 37,500 people attending on Wednesday and a total of 150,000 expected over the four days.

Organisers say tickets for Thursday and Friday sold out in advance, as visitors flock to see livestock classes, machinery displays and celebrity appearances.

Elsewhere at the show, conversations turned to the future of farming and the growing pressures to balance food production with environmental and energy demands.

Paul Tompkins, deputy president of the National Farmers’ Union, emphasised the union’s position that high‑quality farmland should remain focused on food rather than being diverted to large‑scale renewable energy schemes.

Mr Tompkins said: “Farmers do have to diversify and adjust to the renewable energy game, but it has to be done in the right way.

“Land should be prioritised for food production, and arguments about renewable energy should be balanced with concerns for landscape, tourism and communities.”

He called on farmers, farming groups and the government to have an “open dialogue” when it comes to renewable energy and land use, warning that decisions taken now will shape the countryside for decades to come.

As The Yorkshire Vet continues to celebrate the everyday stories of rural life, show leaders said debates over food, energy and the environment will be central to the future of the farms and animals that viewers see on screen.
