The new BBC Radio 2 Breakfast DJ has praised the vegan hair-growth supplement that helps promote healthier, fuller locks

They say hair is people’s most important accessory, but when thinning or loss kicks in due to age and stress, it can take a serious toll on confidence. Fortunately, the beauty world is currently undergoing a hair-care revolution, with one particular supplement leading the charge.

DR.VEGAN’s Hair Saviour has earned a high-profile fan in Radio 2 Breakfast Show host Sara Cox, whose signature blonde fringe has become as iconic as her voice. Designed to rescue thinning strands and boost density, these capsules have already helped thousands of shoppers achieve a thicker, more resilient mane.

The science behind the results is just as impressive. The formula features a blend of 14 key nutrients, including biotin, zinc, and saw palmetto, but the real star is the patented AnaGain™.

Extracted from pea sprouts, this clinically validated ingredient has been shown to increase the probability of hair growth by a staggering 78%. For those looking to restore their hair’s “lustre” without the fuss, this vegan-friendly ritual is becoming a go-to.

Sara Cox, who was announced as Scott Mills’ replacement on the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 after his sudden departure and dismissal, has previously said about using DR VEGAN: “My hair was feeling dry and looking a bit dull, so I needed help.

The Hair Saviour helps boost hair renewal and growth, while combating thinning & brittle hair.

“After about 6 weeks, I started to notice less shedding and my hair began to feel fuller, and after about 10 weeks, I started seeing new baby hairs coming through.”

Even better, the supplement is currently available for 56p per day until midnight on 31st May. Anyone wishing to take advantage of the promotion, which offers up to 40% off the first three months, must enter the code HAIRSAVE at checkout, reports the Mirror.

Various purchase plans are offered for the capsules – with two capsules required daily for 60 days – including 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day subscription packages, as well as one-time purchases in different quantities.

The company suggests its subscription plans offer the best value, with the 90-day package costing £52.40 when using the promotional code, down from £77.97. Purchasing these three pouches as a single order would total £56 after the discount is applied.

DR. VEGAN notes that consumers generally notice improvements in hair density, reduced hair loss, and fresh growth within 12 weeks. A study involving 100 individuals who used Hair Saviour for 2 months or longer found that 81% found it beneficial, 73% experienced enhanced hair strength after 3 months, and 70% witnessed new hair growth after 3 months.

On the high street, Hairburst is selling an Advanced+ Hair Growth Starter Kit with the three-month programme, priced at 91p per day or £84.49 for the full three months. Meanwhile, at Chāmpo, the sought-after Pitta Growth Serum in its larger format is available for £46, reduced from £56.67.

Returning to DR VEGAN supplements, they’ve proven popular, with one delighted buyer sharing: “My hairdresser and I have noticed a huge difference. I am no longer shedding multiple strands throughout the day, and new hair has been growing.”

Another customer reported comparable results, saying: “For anyone worrying about their hair…definitely give these a try. My hair feels thicker, stronger, and silkier… hair on the sides (near my fringe area) has started to grow in again, and my scalp feels a lot calmer.

“My hairdresser has noticed a difference and commented on how healthy my hair looks. I’m delighted that this works and will definitely be reordering some more.”

A third buyer remarked: “My hair is growing like crazy and is in so much better condition than it’s ever been.” It should be noted that one less impressed customer awarded three stars, observing: “Haven’t noticed any change yet, I’ll review properly when it’s taken a bit longer.”

However, many others celebrated the impressive outcomes they experienced with Hair Saviour. One DR. VEGAN enthusiast recounted their journey, explaining: “I’m 51 and in my menopause, and my hair was thinning, especially around the front hairline.

“I saw these advertised online and thought I’d try them… And I’m glad I did, they work! Slowly, my hair is growing back at the front, and the sides of my hair are actually growing for once!”

Taylor Swift has filed trademark applications covering her voice and likeness, apparently in a bid to halt the creation of artificial intelligence deepfakes.

The pop superstar, who was recently named as Spotify’s most-streamed artist of all time, submitted two sound trademarks covering her voice, one including the phrase “Hey, it’s Taylor Swift,” and the other simply “Hey, it’s Taylor.”

She also filed to trademark an image of herself holding a pink guitar during her record-breaking “Eras” tour.

In a blog post, intellectual-property attorney Josh Gerben (who does not represent Swift) argued that is likely the filings are intended to protect Swift from unauthorized AI versions of herself being created.

“Theoretically, if a lawsuit were to be filed over an AI using Swift’s voice, she could claim that any use of her voice that sounds like the registered trademark violates her trademark rights,” wrote Gerben.

Gerben continued: “The image-based filing serves a similar purpose. By protecting a distinctive visual, down to Swift’s commonly worn jumpsuit and pose, Swift’s team may gain additional grounds to pursue claims against manipulated or AI-generated images that evoke her likeness.”

Last year, actor Matthew McConaughey was granted a trademark for his signature catchphrase “alright, alright, alright” in a similar legal move.

Attorneys for the entertainment law firm Yorn Levine, representing McConaughey, applied for the protection in December 2023, but the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved the trademark in December 2025.

While state consumer protection laws already protect celebrities from having their likeness replicated to sell products, McConaughey’s trademark strategy means that the Interstellar actor will now have grounds to sue in federal court over general “misuse” on the internet, even if misleading AI videos using his image are not explicitly selling anything.

Yorn Levine founder and lawyer Kevin Yorn said in a statement shared with The Independent: “We embrace AI, invest in it, and actively support its evolution. Progress, however, should have boundaries. Protecting individual voice, image, and intellectual property is essential to building a future that works for everyone. Along with Matthew, we are forward-looking, engaged in the possibilities of AI, and thoughtful about how everyone’s creative identity is represented and protected.”

McConaughey told the Wall Street Journal: “My team and I want to know that when my voice or likeness is ever used, it’s because I approved and signed off on it. We want to create a clear perimeter around ownership with consent and attribution the norm in an AI world.”

Chelsea are once again on the lookout for a new manager following the departure of Liam Rosenior

Chelsea are on the search for a new manager following the sacking of Liam Rosenior last week. The Blues decided to part ways with the manager following a 3-0 defeat against Brighton.

Calum McFarlane is taking interim charge of the side until the end of the season, with the search over Rosenior’s permanent successor now taking place. Several names have already been linked with the role, including Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola and former midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

Chelsea should be getting used to searching for a new manager, given the changes in the managerial hotseat over the last few years. Former Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick has previously revealed that he has turned down the role at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues approached the German following Frank Lampard‘s exit in January 2021. Speaking to The Times just a month later, Rangnick revealed talks with Chelsea over the position, but there was one major sticking point.

“I said, ‘I would love to come and work with you, but I cannot do it for four months,” he said. “I am not an interim coach.’ To the media and players you would be the ‘four-month manager’, a lame duck, from day one.”

Following his rejection of the job, Chelsea turned to now England boss, Thomas Tuchel, who went on to win the Champions League just a few months after his appointment. “Thomas is tactically on a very sophisticated level,” Rangnick said.

“[His assistant] Zsolt Low was my player and assistant coach at Leipzig and plays a vital role in his staff. And you can see from the way he interacts with players, Thomas also has great leadership skills.

“I can only congratulate Thomas and Chelsea for the choice.”

Tuchel left in 2022, and was replaced by Graham Potter. Chelsea have since had Lampard (interim), Mauricio Pochettino, Enzo Maresca and Rosenior as managers.

Less than a year after making the comments about turning down the Chelsea job, Rangnick took up the interim role at Man Utd. In his 29 games in charge, United won eleven, drew 9 and lost 9.

The 67-year-old is now the manager of the Austria national team. He will lead the nation in this summer’s World Cup, where they will take on Jordan, Argentina and Algeria in their Group J encounters.

Major producers, including Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Brazil, Sudan, and Kenya, are now entering critical planting cycles as energy and fertiliser costs soar.

As the season shifts towards the Northern Hemisphere in May, the window to secure the 2026 harvest is rapidly closing.

Last year, ten countries accounted for two-thirds of all people facing acute food insecurity globally, said the UN.

Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan alone represent nearly one-third of the total, according to the report.

Afghanistan, South Sudan, Sudan and Yemen experienced the worst food crises, both in terms of the share and absolute number of people facing acute food insecurity.

More than 80 per cent of those affected live in countries affected by conflict.

An estimated 35.5 million children were acutely malnourished across the surveyed countries, including just under 10 million with severe acute malnutrition.

For many, the damage will be irreversible.

Children who survive acute malnutrition, often suffer permanent “stunting” – lifelong cognitive and physical damage.

Famine was last year confirmed in two areas – parts of the Gaza Strip and in Sudan – marking a first since records began, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), the UN-backed global hunger monitor.

Improvements were reported in Bangladesh, Niger, parts of Nigeria and Sudan, and the Syrian Arab Republic, the report said.

Anthony Joshua has signed a deal to fight fellow former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, Eddie Hearn has announced.

Joshua, who has not fought since he was a passenger in a fatal car crash in December, will first have a comeback fight against Kristian Prenga in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 25 July.

Fury and Joshua – both two-time world champions – have carried British boxing on the global stage for more than a decade, yet despite years of negotiations and false starts, the fight has never materialised.

But promoter Hearn posted on social media on Monday that the long-awaited fight was “signed, sealed and delivered”.

“As I said, the landlord will collect his rent. That is certain,” Joshua said about the fight.

Joshua, 36, must first get past unknown 35-year-old Albanian Prenga – who boasts a record of 20 wins, all by stoppage, and one loss.

The British fighter’s most recent appearance in the ring was against Jake Paul in December.

Later that month Joshua’s driver crashed in Nigeria, with two members of the boxer’s team being killed.

“It’s no secret I’ve taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready for stepping back into the ring and today is the next step on that journey,” Joshua said.

A date or venue for Joshua v Fury has not been announced. Hearn has previously suggested it could land in November on streaming giant Netflix.

Joshua attended Fury’s recent comeback fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov and was called out by his British rival immediately after he secured a comfortable decision win. Fury, 37, attempted to goad Joshua into the ring, but he declined.

Afterwards, Team Fury said they had signed their part of the contract and were waiting on Joshua to do the same.

“I’m looking forward to competing and picking up where I left off,” Joshua added.

Istvan Elek admitted having and sharing a collection of extreme pornography featuring pigs, hamsters, dogs, horses and a cobra.

A weirdo who distributed cobra and pig porn has been banned from keeping animals and told to stay away from play parks.

Istvan Elek admitted having and sharing a collection of extreme pornography featuring pigs, hamsters, dogs, horses and a cobra.

Elek has been banned from approaching under-16s and told that he is not allowed to “own or care for any animals.”

Sheriff Paul Brown ordered Elek to carry out 300 hours unpaid work in the community and placed him on the sex offenders register for five years.

He placed him on a curfew for six months and ordered him to attend the Tay Project rehab course for sexual offenders as a direct alternative to custody.

Elek was also made subject to a conduct requirement which includes limiting his internet and social media use and he cannot form any new “intimate or domestic relationship” without telling social workers.

Elek was found with the deviant material on his phone after asking others on a WhatsApp group to send him twisted images featuring animals.

The 56-year-old appeared at Perth Sheriff Court and admitted having banned pornography featuring women having sex with animals.

Elek, from Kinross, admitted possessing extreme pornographic images at his former home in Milnathort between 13 November 2021 and 14 February 2024.

He also admitted downloading indecent images of children at the same address in Marshall Place between 15 August and 4 September 2023.

Elek admitted possessing indecent images of children between 11 May 2022 and 14 February 2024. He also admitted distributing child and extreme animal porn between 29 September 2022 and Valentine’s Day in 2024.

The welder flooded international bestiality networks with stomach-turning films of people having sex with animals.

Elek downloaded illicit files from various dark web group chats where likeminded perverts shared grotesque clips of women and children engaging in sex acts with animals.

Elek also shared hundreds of sick files with the groups, which contained “a vast number” of members and went under Spanish-language names.

By the time police finished analysing the enormous cache of filth on the phone and two laptops they seized on their first trip to his home, Elek had bought a new mobile and amassed hours’ more sick footage.

Officers raided his home and found a mobile phone device which showed Elek ran accounts called “BeastForum,” “BarnLove” and “PetSex”.

On the phone, police found 481 files, including 102 videos with a run time of more than two hours. Some of the material dated back to May 2022.

The vile material depicted boys and girls aged from two to 14 being sexually abused by adults, other children and animals.

Police also discovered 3,448 “extreme pornography” files on the mobile, including 1,267 videos which, if played back-to-back, would have run for more than 46 hours.

Among them was a clip of a masked woman engaging in a sex act with a pig and a dog.

Analysis of the phone showed Elek had been searching online for the terms “zoophilia and bestiality videos, pig porn, Asian zoo porn, porn cobra and zoo hamster.”

He explained to police he was a member of a group chat in which extreme pornography was being shared.

Sheriff Brown told Elek “this is a serious matter” after rejecting his bid to withdraw his guilty plea to the child porn charges.

Poor Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). After losing her husband, EastEnders’ least-toxic man, Mick Carter (Danny Dyer), she’s found herself tangled up with it’s most-toxic man, Max Branning (Jake Wood), and we all know how that’s likely to go…

Linda and Max had an affair years ago, resulting in baby Annie Carter (Lois Hawkins), though she told everybody that then-husband Mick was the dad.

Max ultimately left without knowing he had another daughter when Linda rejected him in favour of making things work with Mick.

With Mick now presumed dead, Max’s return last year saw him learn the truth, despite Linda’s previous agreement with Max’s daughter, Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) and brother, Jack (Scott Maslen) to keep the information secret.

Despite Max’s kidnap of Annie as he struggled to process the information, Linda decided Annie should have a relationship with her dad and agreed to co-parent with him.

As Max struggled to re-bond with his family after his homecoming, Linda became a firm and reliable source of support for him, even verbalising that she knows, in her core, that there’s a good man deep within Max, buried deeply beneath his scheming and devious veneer, though when he tried to throw the lips on her, she recoiled.

Things seemed to be improving after she convinced him that fleeing the Square again would do nothing but prove his naysayers rightm as she put aside her anger and, once again, proved to be a solid ally.

The spark was seemingly relit for both, despite Elaine Peacock’s (Harriet Thorpe) determination the keep them apart.

Though they shared a kiss, ultimately, Max’s secrecy over Linda’s son, Ollie Carter’s (Harry Farr) bullying ordeal at the hands of his own grandson, Louie Beale (Jake McNally) drove them apart, when Linda told him that he ‘made her sick’.

Max won back Linda’s trust when he stepped in to help the growing rift between her and her son, Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff), but when she went to find him later, intending to reveal her feelings, she found him getting hot and heavy with Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins).

Next week sees Linda’s jealousy over Max and Cindy’s burgeoning relationship intensify, though Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp), with whom Linda recently allied with to maintain a close eye on Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden) mental health, suggests she treats herself to a spot of pampering.

Continuing to support her, Grant later inspires Linda’s decision to sell her share of Fox & Hair, when she learns from Elaine that Johnny is having serious money trouble. When she offers him cash, though, he bites her head off, forcing Grant to step in again and give Johnny a proper Mitchell talking to.

Emotionally raw, Linda partakes in a bunk-up with somebody new, something Max learns of at his and Cindy’s joint birthday party. Apparently just as jealous as Linda is, he responds by asking Cindy to live with him, to which she happily agrees.

As Linda and Max continue to play a dangerous game of one-upmanship, who’s heart will end up broken? Who does Linda spend the night with, and what’ll be the after effect? Will they ever stop messing around and just admit their feelings to each other?

Probably not, and rightly so. The mess they’re making is much more fun to watch!

Yorkshire Air Museum, located in Elvington near York, is hosting its ‘We’ll Meet Again’ event on May 9 and 10, offering a nostalgic 1940s experience.

The museum, a former RAF heavy bomber base, will be transformed with military and civilian re-enactors, vintage vehicles, and a 1940s-style singer.

Jerry Ibbotson, communications manager at Yorkshire Air Museum, said: “We’ll Meet Again is one of the most popular events in our calendar, when the Museum feels like it’s travelled back in time to the 1940s.

“To see reenactors dressed as wartime aircrew standing next to our Halifax bomber really evokes the feeling of that period.

He added: “As well as our organised reenactors, we’d love to see as many of our visitors as possible dress up for the occasion, with some 1940s outfits.

“The café will be open but you’re also welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy it in the sunshine as the Yorkshire Air Museum takes you back eighty years.”

The museum is currently running an exhibition called ‘Operation Halifax’ which marks 30 years since the official unveiling of the restored Halifax, so it will be great to see her outside in the sunshine (we hope).”

The museum’s Handley Page Halifax bomber, the only one of its kind in Europe, will be displayed outside the hangar for the only weekend of the year.

Guests can enjoy historical displays, demonstrations, and opportunities to dance or pose for photographs in period style.

Yorkshire Air Museum ison the former site of RAF Elvington, which operated as a Bomber Command station from 1943 until the end of the Second World War.

The site retains many original wartime buildings, including its distinctive control tower.

There is no additional charge for ‘We’ll Meet Again’ activities.
