Tess Daly and Vernon Kay have reunited for a family holiday just four months after announcing the end of their marriage.

The former couple, who were married for more than two decades, appear to have stayed true to their promise to remain close friends and committed co-parents following their separation.

Tess, 57, shared a glimpse inside a recent family getaway to France on social media on Tuesday, with Vernon, 52, joining her and their daughters Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 17, on the trip.

One particularly sweet photograph showed all four members of the family gathered closely around a dining table while dressed in summery holiday outfits.

Despite the major change in their relationship this year, the former couple looked comfortable spending time together as a family, with the pictures offering a rare glimpse at how they are navigating life after their split.

Other snaps from the French escape showed Tess making the most of the sunshine, including posing by the sea and striking a pose with her hands on her hips while standing on the bow of a boat.

The former Strictly Come Dancing presenter also shared a mirror selfie with one of her daughters during the trip.

The family getaway comes after it was reported last month that Vernon is preparing to move out of the Buckinghamshire home he previously shared with Tess.

He has reportedly purchased a £3million property close to the family home, allowing him to remain nearby as the pair adjust to living separately.

A source previously claimed that Tess had been supportive of Vernon’s move, telling The Sun that staying close to their daughters was important to both of them.

‘It means he can stay close to their girls, which is something important to both him and Tess,’ the source said.

The property is reportedly undergoing renovations before Vernon moves in and is said to boast a swimming pool and a sprawling garden.

The insider added that the change would understandably feel ‘very strange’ after the pair spent more than two decades living together, but said they were approaching the transition with ‘care and respect’.

Tess and Vernon announced their separation in a joint statement earlier this year after more than two decades of marriage.

The television favourites said the decision had been made after ‘much consideration’ and stressed that there was no third party involved.

They said at the time: ’This has not been an easy choice, but it comes from a place of mutual understanding and a shared desire for what is best for both of us.

‘We remain great friends and most importantly, fully committed to our roles as loving and supportive parents, which will always be our priority.’

The pair also asked for privacy while they navigated the change and said they did not intend to make further public comments. Their latest family holiday appears to demonstrate the united approach to parenting they outlined when announcing their separation.

Tess and Vernon first met in 2001 while working for rival television channels, with Vernon presenting Channel 4’s T4 while Tess was appearing on ITV’s SMTV.

Vernon proposed on Christmas Day the following year at Tess’ parents’ home, before they married at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Horwich, near Bolton, in 2003.

They welcomed Phoebe in 2004, followed by Amber in 2009.

During their marriage, the pair occasionally offered glimpses inside their Buckinghamshire family home, which reportedly features a gym and large conservatory and is also home to Tess’ Shetland ponies, Honey and Willow.

Now, months after publicly confirming their marriage was over, the pair appear to be continuing to spend time together with their daughters as they settle into a new chapter of family life.

As of last Friday, a 48-year-old woman remained at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in a critical but stable condition and a 27-year-old man was at James Cook University Hospital receiving treatment.

Two teenage girls were both discharged after suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

Wright, of no fixed address, spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth during the short hearing.

Judge Carroll set a provisional trial date of April 14 next year which is expected to be tried by a High Court Judge.

The incident on Birchington Avenue triggered an outpouring of tributes to the youngster and her aunt, with bouquets of flowers left beside the devastating scene.

Numerous teddies, emotional notes, and a small bag of sweets were also among the items paying tribute to the pair.

Police previously confirmed that it is not treating the fire as linked to the fatal crash on the A66 which killed seven, including two police officers, PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough.

Saturday Night Live returns for its second season this month, with one of Hollywood’s quintessential stars in the hosting hot seat.

The UK spin-off of the iconic sketch show was a surprise hit when it launched this spring – despite fears the format might not translate across the pond – and returns this autumn for another batch of 75-minute episodes.

Jeff Goldblum will take on the first Saturday night’s hosting duties on September 12, with Irish singer-songwriter CMAT on board as musical guest.

All nigh-on two metres of the Jurassic Park star will be live in the Sky studio, filmed at Television Centre in west London, to kick off the upcoming six episodes for 2026.

SNL will then continue into the New Year with further hosts and musical guests to be announced.

While this will be Goldblum’s debut on SNL UK, he hosted the original New York iteration of the show twice in the 1990s to promote Jurassic Park and then Jurassic Park 2.

In one memorable sketch from 1998, titled Space: The Infinite Frontier with Harry Caray, Goldblum sat opposite Will Ferrell for an absurd talk show spoof.

Doing an impression of the American sportscaster, Ferrell improvised chunks of their exchange, which left Goldblum clearly trying to hold it together.

The 73-year-old is no stranger to taking on new British TV formats, after he was one of the inaugural guests on Claudia Winkleman’s brief BBC chat show.

Meanwhile, CMAT’s debut on SNL is another milestone in a phenomenal couple of years for the 30-year-old.

Real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, she has been twice nominated for a Brit Award for international artist of the year. Her third album Euro-Country was nominated for the Mercury Prize and won best album at the Ivor Novello Awards in May.

The Northern Ireland Traveller took a six-hour round trip to Athlone where he paid a visit to Sean’s Bar which is recognised as the oldest pub in Ireland by the Guinness World Records

A Belfast man travelled three hours to visit the oldest pub in Ireland — and one unique aspect immediately floored him after walking in the door.

Mark Rowan, better known as Stumpy, runs the Northern Ireland Traveller YouTube channel, and his latest adventure saw him visit Athlone. The town borders Westmeath and Roscommon and the content creator insisted that his first pint had to be in the historic Sean’s Bar.

It has been open for more than 1,100 years and although officially recognised as Ireland’s oldest — some claim that it is the world’s oldest too. Speaking outside the famous pub, Stumpy said: “I’ve always wanted to come here and sample a cheeky pint of Guinness in here.

“They’ve been pulling pints in here longer than the castle behind us. The bar was actually built before the castle even existed. So there’s been some amount of pints served out of this bar.”

And after stepping inside, Stumpy turned to his friend, and said: “Mate, look at the floor!” His pal replied: “Sawdust on the floor, I haven’t seen that since I was like five years old.”

Stumpy added: “So, there you go people, this is the bar in here, and look, there genuinely is sawdust on the floor.”

Publicans historically put sawdust on floors to help absorb spilled drinks, vomit and even spit, to make it easier to clean at the end of the night. Back in the 19th century, chewing tobacco and pipe smoking was common practice, and patrons would often spit on the floor, and sawdust helped contain it.

Most pubs stopped putting sawdust on floors by the mid 20th century because of modern flooring and health reasons. However, some old-school boozers, like Sean’s Bar, still have the unique feature.

Stumpy paid €6.30 for his pint of Guinness and before trying it, he said: “Mate, I absolutely love this. Never thought I’d be splitting the G standing on top of sawdust inside a pub in 2026. Absolutely unbelievable.”

Asked about what he thought about the pub, his friend said: “Pub’s exceptional. It might be my favourite ever pub actually.” Stumpy added: “It’s really good. Like proper old school pub.”

He then said it was a “damn good pint” before he summarised his visit: “Absolutely amazing pub. Yes, we would absolutely love to stay on and just sit there all night and wait for the live music starting at 9, but the show must go on boys.”

After uploading the video, which you can watch in full here, one person replied: “I’m from Athlone, really had a good laugh at this, I know a good few characters in the video. Great video and content. I love pub culture.”

Another said Sean’s Bar was “something else” while a third said: “Sean’s Bar Athlone… serving Guinness before Guinness was invented.”

Denmark and the UK both wear the badge of universal healthcare with pride. Nobody is turned away, nobody is handed a bill on the way out. And the principle – that where you are born or how much you earn should not determine whether you live or die – is sacred in both countries. But principles are not the same as outcomes.

Denmark spends more per person on healthcare than the UK and operates one of the most expansive welfare states on the planet. It consistently outperforms the UK on some of the indicators that matter most: how long people live, how many babies survive their first year, and how many cancer patients are still alive five years after diagnosis. So is Denmark simply spending its way to better health? Or are other factors helping explain the gap?

The numbers in the most recent OECD report help us unpack this question. The UK devotes a larger share of its economy to healthcare than Denmark does – 11.1% of GDP compared with 9.4%. But once you adjust for currency and the cost of living and look at what each country actually spends, the UK spends US$325 (£243) less per person per year than Denmark. So although healthcare takes up a larger share of the UK economy, spending per person is still lower than in Denmark.

Health Gap / Sundhedskløften is a collaborative series from The Conversation UK and Denmark’s Videnskab.dk exploring what the two countries can learn from each other when it comes to health and wellbeing.

From cycling and alcohol to inequality, healthcare and everyday habits, the series looks beyond hospitals and medical treatment to explore how culture, politics and society shape the way people live – and how healthy they are.

If the story were only about money, it might look as though Denmark is simply buying better health. And the numbers in the OECD report are striking: the average Dane lives 1.8 years longer than people in the UK; around 400 more babies per million survive their first year in Denmark; and five-year survival is higher for both cervical cancer (six more women in every hundred) and colon cancer (five more people in every hundred). Just as importantly, about one in four more people in Denmark feel their health system is there for them when they need it.

But when you look more closely, a different picture appears. The gap isn’t just about how much money each country puts into its health system; it’s about how that money is used. Denmark gets more out of its spending by investing in the capacity to diagnose and treat illness early and by supporting the social and economic factors that shape people’s health. The UK has invested differently, and those choices are reflected in the results.

Denmark has 29 more CT, MRI and PET scanners per million people than the UK. Investing hugely in cancer equipment led Denmark to expand its diagnostic capacity and make it possible for cancer patients to receive treatment within two weeks of diagnosis, compared with around nine weeks in UK. Many more Danes than Britons participate in cancer screening – which leads to earlier treatment. For example, in Denmark, 17 more women in every 100 undergo breast cancer screening. Finding out early whether you have cancer and treating it early makes a real difference.

Then there is lifestyle. Ten more out of every hundred Britons than Danes report being obese. Obesity makes people more likely to become seriously unwell, need more medical care, and face tougher treatment when conditions such as cancer or heart disease develop.

Although their smoking and drinking habits are similar, many more Danes are physically active and exposed to less air pollution. Denmark also has the lowest diabetes prevalence among OECD countries: about 23 in every 1,000 adults versus 88 in the UK. Fewer people getting seriously ill means the health budget stretches further and can do more for everyone.

Beyond the hospital

People get sick not only for medical reasons. Social factors such as how educated, well-off and socially connected you are or where and how you live also cause sickness. Both Denmark and UK have chosen to look after their people by funding welfare through tax revenue. But Denmark’s welfare system is more inclusive.

Income after tax is more fairly distributed across people – Denmark has one of the lowest levels of income inequality among OECD countries. Almost every child between three and five years (97%) is in professional childcare, university education is free, and Danes get up to a full year of maternity and paternity leave. Danes generally benefit from high-quality housing and safe living environments .

In Denmark, spending on welfare is like putting money in social investments that pays healthy dividends by reducing the burden on healthcare. Denmark has built a system where the welfare state mostly prevents the conditions that produce postcode lotteries (where you live determines what services you get) in the first place.

The UK experience is different: the governments, particularly since 2010, have found themselves in financial stress and have backed welfare cuts as part of a policy of austerity, instead of viewing welfare spending as social investment, as Denmark did. Unlike Denmark, the UK has focused on fixing gaps in what the NHS could provide, without fully recognising that widening social and economic inequalities outside the NHS were driving poorer health outcomes in the first place.

Denmark gets a lot right, but it still has real challenges. Health gaps between groups are widening: wealthier men now live noticeably longer than men on the lowest incomes, and people with less education have shorter lives when they develop conditions such as heart disease or stroke.

Even so, Denmark spends more on each person’s health, and people tend to reach hospital in better shape than those in the UK. That difference comes from decades of social policies that support welfare, reduce inequality, improve housing and build a strong culture of prevention. By contrast, the UK has tried to use the NHS to treat its way out of deeper social and economic problems, even though no amount of NHS spending on its own can fix issues that start long before someone walks into a clinic.

Denmark and the UK share similar ambitions for improving the nation’s health, but Denmark has been far more successful in putting those ambitions into practice. Denmark treats the health of its people as the result of choices made across the whole of society, not just what happens in hospitals or surgeries.

Over many years, Denmark has kept building policies and structures that support healthier living. The UK had a comparable vision when the NHS was founded in 1948, but it didn’t continue developing the wider system around healthcare in the same way. Denmark did it differently and consistently, and that is what sets the two countries apart today.

This series was commissioned as part of a partnership between Videnskab.dk and The Conversation, where articles are published in English and Danish.

Donald Trump today doubled down on his attack on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, accusing them of being ‘very terrible’ to Prince William and insisting he should ‘never speak to them again’.

The US President also appeared to largely blame the Duchess of Sussex for the rift with the Royal Family, accusing her of having a ‘horrible’ influence on her British husband.

His fresh attack came 24 hours after he claimed he ‘wouldn’t have taken them back’ following their shock return to the UK.

Speaking to GB News host Bev Turner, Mr Trump said the Sussexes had done ‘too many horrible things’ to be welcomed back so easily.

The fact that the King had recently met Harry and Meghan showed Charles is ‘a much better person than I am’, Mr Trump said.

‘I wouldn’t have done it. I would have said forget it,’ he added.

‘Personally, I would not have taken them back. Too much hate, too many really bad things.’

Meghan and Harry have returned to the UK after six years and the President said he was ‘happy’ they had left the US.

He said: ‘First of all, I think King Charles is fantastic, he’s a friend of mine. He [Prince Harry] wrote a book that was so bad, and she was a horrible influence on him. What she’s done to him is unacceptable.’

Mr Trump argued that the way the couple treated Harry’s brother, Prince William, was also ‘terrible’.

He said: ‘But I think that what she [Meghan] has done and him [Prince Harry], he wrote a book that was very terrible to William, it was terrible.

‘The things he said, I wouldn’t… I mean, it’s just me. I’m sure I’m wrong on this, but I would not have taken him back. I would have never spoken to him again.’

Bev suggested that, although there appears to be ‘no relationship’ between Prince Harry and Prince William, the King appears to have ‘offered an olive branch’ to his son and daughter-in-law.

Mr Trump responded: ‘It shows you what a good man King Charles is. He’s a much better person than I am. I wouldn’t have done it. I would have said forget it.’

He said the Sussexes, and particularly Harry, had been ‘very terrible’ to Prince William 

Bev then joked: ‘But your children probably wouldn’t have done what Harry did to his father, the relationship is different.’

Mr Trump laughed, telling Bev: ‘Well, I hope not!’

Heaping further praise on the King, the US President reflected on the monarch’s recent visit to America and how ‘everybody loved him’.

He told Bev: ‘If I were King Charles, I would not take them back. There’s too much. He was here a couple of months ago, everybody loved him in America. He spoke in front of Congress, everybody loved him. He’s a fantastic guy.

‘And he’s been a friend of mine for a long time. I knew him as Prince Charles, I know him as King Charles, and he’s amazing and he’s fighting through a very tough situation with his health, and very few people would have that bravery to do what he’s done.’

The US President had previously addressed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s US exit during a meeting with travel executives in the Oval Office at the White House on Wednesday evening.

When asked about the Sussexes deciding to return to the UK, Mr Trump said: ‘I’m happy about it. I was not a fan. I had a very good relationship with the Queen, really good. I got to know her very well.

‘[I have] a really good relationship with King Charles. I know him as Prince Charles; I’ve known him for a long time.

‘He’s a great guy, and I thought they [Meghan and Harry] treated the Royal Family with great disrespect. I didn’t like the way she acted.

‘I thought she was terribly disrespectful to the Queen, to King Charles. Maybe I’m different; I would not have taken them back.’

President Donald Trump had earlier cheered the news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s surprise return to the UK. 

Speaking of the Sussexes’ decision to leave their home in Montecito and move back to Britain, Trump said: ‘I’m happy about it.’

‘I was not a fan,’ he added, noting that he had a ‘very good relationship with the Queen and with [King] Charles’.

‘I thought they treated the Royal Family with great disrespect. I didn’t like it,’ Trump told reporters of Harry and Meghan. ‘I didn’t like the way she acted.’

‘I thought she was terribly disrespectful to the Queen, to King Charles,’ Trump said of Meghan’s behavior and the couple’s decision to step back from their royal duties six years ago. 

‘I don’t know, maybe I’m different. I wouldn’t have taken them back,’ Trump said, before adding: ‘If I were the Royal Family, I would not have taken them back.’

Harry and Meghan told King Charles last month that they would be moving back to Britain with their children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, who are slated to begin school there this week. 

The Sussexes are now staying in the UK for an ‘extended period’ after flying into the country on August 26.

The family is said to be eyeing a home in the Cotswolds, an area that has gained prominence in recent years among wealthy Silicon Valley tech moguls and Hollywood elites – perhaps further endearing the area to Markle, a Golden State native.

While the couple appeared to be leading a quiet, private life in Montecito, California, the pair had made no secret of their disillusionment with the current administration.

And with the November midterm elections fast approaching, concerns about the direction of the US have been top-of-mind, People magazine first reported. 

Their return to Britain was cheered by some in Trump’s orbit, who mocked the news following reports that the decision was motivated in part by their views of the current president. 

Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, shared a report about their move on social media, noting: ‘They are moving back to Britain because they don’t like President Trump.’

Conservative personality Megyn Kelly also responded to their move and their decision to step down as senior members of the working family six years ago – a decision many dubbed ‘Megxit.’

‘We’ve done our time here in America my dear friend!’ Kelly said on X, replying to Right-wing commentator Dan Wootton’s post about Megxit being ‘reversed.’

The family is not severing their California ties for good, however. They plan to keep their home in Montecito, as well as a separate vacation property they own in Portugal. 

King Charles and Trump share a laugh at the White House state dinner in April 2026. The monarch filled his speech with jokes – including about the Boston Tea Party

‘What is absolutely crucial is that Harry never fell out of love with Britain – he fell out of love with the circumstances he found himself living in, and those are very different things,’ Harry’s friend Alex Rayner, who went with him on a charity trek to the North Pole in 2011, and remains in regular contact with him, told the Daily Mail of their return.

Others spoke of ‘an increasing and significant shift in sentiment, a feeling the American dream might not be all it was cracked up to be.’

That sentiment does not appear to be one-sided, either. ‘This is coming from Meghan as well as from him,’ a friend told the Daily Mail. ‘I hear that Meghan is all for rekindling with and reconnecting with Harry’s English side. She is fully behind it.’

President Trump and King Charles indeed appear to share a warm relationship. 

Their camaraderie was on full display in April, when Trump hosted Charles and Queen Camilla at the White House for the first state dinner of his second term – and to celebrate the country’s 250th birthday. 

Both Trump and the King made comments about their countries’ shared backstories, with Charles calling the fete a ‘very considerable improvement on the Boston Tea Party.’ 

The King also called attention to the president’s ‘readjustments’ to the East Wing, which is no longer standing. 

‘I’m sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814,’ the King joked. 

The boy cannot be named for legal reasons

A high school ‘star pupil’ has been sentenced to youth detention after stabbing a pupil in the back, a court heard.

The 15 year old, who cannot be named, knifed his teen victim in an apparent revenge attack after believing he had been speaking badly about him.

He is said to have lurked near the shops in Brookfield, Preston, in waiting for his victim and was seen circling the area on his bike.

When he saw the other boy approaching with a friend, he ran up behind them and lunged at his victim with a knife before telling him: “You’ve just been chopped”, Lancs Live reports.

Prosecutor Francis McEntee said the attack, which happened at 7:21pm on March 17, 2026, was premeditated and motivated by revenge. He played CCTV footage, taken from outside a house on Ingleton Road, which showed the attacker running up behind the unsuspecting schoolboy.

The youngster thought he had been punched and walked away from the attack but when he arrived home, a short distance away, he realised he had blood coming from his head.

He was taken to Royal Preston Hospital by ambulance where he was treated for knife wounds to his torso, the back of his neck and a defensive wound to his hand.

Michael Lavery, defending, said the boy had received glowing school reports and was considered to be academically high-achieving. However, he had adverse experiences in his childhood and was suspected of having autism.

These contributed to a heightened threat response, poor emotional awareness and emotional detachment, a psychological report said.

Sentencing, Judge Philip Parry said the teenager’s parents had worked with the authorities and sought support with their son. He said the teenager’s psychological profile helped to explain why ‘an intelligent boy could behave in such a catastrophic way.’

He said: “You told the author of the pre-sentence report that there was an issue between you and the other boy which you interpreted to be him being out to get you. You took a knife out in case he had one and was going to hurt you.

“I see no evidence at all of him threatening to hurt you or carrying a knife. There is no justification for you to take that knife from home and go in search of him, then waiting to find him and attacking him from behind.

“You offer no apology to your victim. Your only regret is you wish you had attacked him with just your fists, not with a knife.”

The judge said it was ‘concerning’ that the attack took place after intervention from the Youth Justice team after the teenager was cautioned for being involved with class A drug supply at a previous time.

“That intervention was unable to prevent serious future offending by you”, he said.

The court heard the youngster was initially charged with attempted murder, however he pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of section 18 wounding, along with possession of a bladed article.

Judge Parry said he must pass sentence based on the sentencing guidelines for young people, which prioritise rehabilitation and preventing future offending. However he said the offence was so serious it could only be met with an order for youth detention.

He said: “This was very serious offending indeed. There is too much knife crime on our streets. Young men and boys lose their lives frequently in knife attacks similar to this one.

“It is as depressing as it is terrifying.”

The victim said he now feels on edge and on high alert as a result of the attack. He is receiving counselling in an attempt to move forwards, he said.

Judge Parry handed down a two-year detention and training order meaning the 15-year-old will spend a year in custody and a year under supervision in the community.

Officers are searching for the missing man, named Anthony, from Aberystwyth, who is believed to have travelled to the Whitby area.

Anthony was reported missing on Wednesday, August 26, and is believed to have travelled to Whitby the following day, North Yorkshire Police said.

The force urged anyone with information about Anthony’s whereabouts to get in touch.

Aberystwyth and Machynlleth Police said Anthony could be using a dark blue Nissan car, and it is believed he may have also travelled towards the Norfolk or Suffolk areas.

Police said Anthony is described as being 5ft 9 tall and of a stocky build. He has short grey hair which is brushed back and has tattoos on both arms.

He was last seen wearing a light blue polo shirt, black trousers and black shoes with a gold necklace, and walks with a slight limp.
