One buyer who bestowed this hair styler with 5 stars beams: “This is an incredible buy! I am so impressed with how amazing this style my hair, within minutes I get wavy hair. The quality of this is great, easy to use with temperature settings and a beautiful pouch in the box. Amazing value for money. This beats my ordinary hair straighteners and curling tongs.”

Another shopper shares: “These are great for curling your hair. I was able to get one side done the first time perfectly. I will need to practice on the other side, as it wasn’t curling at all. Definitely my technique.”

Further praise comes from this customer, who raves: “2 in 1 straight to curl, best thing I’ve ever ordered, curls lasted over 24hrs, and my hair doesn’t hold curls, easy to use, but I YouTubed it.”

One buyer does share one gripe, writing: “Hoped for more but not that good as straighteners go, these are at best average.”

But the accolades pour in from plenty of others, as this 5-star rater exclaims: “Literally the best product I’ve every bought! They come in a cute box in a bag with the glove, mat and 2 clips. Got them tonight and gave it a whirl and I have very thinning hair but they worked a dream especially for a girl thats not very good at anything beauty wise!!! Will save me loads of time! I highly recommend this product! Especially for the price. All I will say is if you have thin hair do bigger chunks rather than loads of little ones. Also I paid for this product. Not an ad.”

The actor, writer, and comedian moved to the house with his family in 1965 when he was eight years old. According to his autobiography, he was so fond of the home he kept a photo of it in his wallet.

A stunning seven-bedroom home, complete with a two-bedroom annexe, in the beautiful English countryside, which was the childhood home of a true British icon, could be yours. Booton House is a three-storey detached home in Norfolk, roughly 13 miles from the centre of Norwich, and has come onto the market for £1.3 million.

And it has an added pedigree – it was the childhood home of actor, comedian, and writer Sir Stephen Fry, who wrote about his fondness for it in his 1997 autobiography Moab is my Washpot. The Blackadder actor was eight years old when he and his family moved to the house in 1965.

Sir Stephen wrote that he was so fond of his childhood home he had kept a “tattered and torn” photograph of it in his wallet. Pictures of the house, which is being marketed by property agents Jackson-Stops, on Rightmove, show its location in the beautiful countryside.

It features a gated entrance into a large private courtyard, in a generous-sized landscaped garden, with trees and bushes throughout. Pictures of the inside of the home show stunning large wooden doors and window frames throughout, and many rooms on the ground floor have fireplaces.

All the rooms are of an impressive size, with the huge kitchen featuring a large central island with its own sink, and wood beams can be seen in the ceiling. The bedrooms are all of a generous size too, with one, presumably a young child’s bedroom, featuring a pretty Beatrix Potter-esque mural on the wall.

The property listing reads: “Booton House is a fabulous seven-bedroom period property offering approximately 7,000 sq ft of accommodation set over three floors in the main house, along with a separate two-bedroom annex. The house enjoys a prominent position in the rural village of Booton and stands in just under one acre of landscaped gardens and grounds, complete with ample off road gated parking to the front and side.”

It adds: “Booton is a small village in the Broadland district of Norfolk, located just to the east of Reepham and west of Aylsham. The city of Norwich is with easy driving distance as is the Broads network and the North Norfolk Coast.

“The well-known actor and comedian Stephen Fry grew up in Booton House, which is mentioned in his autobiography. The property is located within a short drive of the NDR (Norwich Northern Distributor Road), which now provides very easy main road access around the city and the county.”

People on Reddit were amazed by the home. One said: “That’s a lot of house for the money.”

Another wrote: “I know nothing of the area, but that seems like remarkably good value. Replying to this, someone else said: “It’s a guide price, it’ll be interesting to see what it actually sells for.”

Another user replied: “Lovely area as well, about a 30-40 minute drive to Norwich. As the below person said, I fully expect that this goes for a lot more. Unless there’s some kind of big problem with it that’s putting the price down to that.”

A different user said: “You sure he doesn’t still live there? That’s almost exactly the sort of house I could imagine Stephen Fry living in.”

And someone else said: “That’s the dream house for me right there! Good location too, 30-40 minutes from both Norwich and the coast. Pretty damn perfect!”

The Princess of Wales has received floods of praise online for her down-to-earth manner as she jumped behind the wheel to get herself to Windsor Castle – all while wearing stilettos

Princess Kate has delighted royal fans with her humble way of getting to an important royal engagement at Windsor Castle. The Princess of Wales met with the World Cup-winning Red Roses England women’s rugby team, with the venue close to her Forest Lodge home

Kate, who is patron of the Rugby Football Union, hosted a reception at the castle for the national team to celebrate their September 2025 victory – the team’s first World Cup win since 2014. And now a video of the princess arriving at the castle has since gone viral and garnered much attention from royal fans, showing Kate pulling up in a black car she was driving herself.

After arriving at the royal venue, Kate was recorded stepping out as a man stood waiting to hand the mother-of-three an umbrella to shield her from the rainfall. Kate gracefully stepped out of the car before walking with the man, holding the umbrella to protect them both from the rain.

The clip prompted a major fan reaction online, with one post on X saying: “The Princess of Wales drove herself to Windsor Castle this afternoon to host a reception for the England Women’s rugby team – in an Alexander McQueen suit and stilettos. Iconic”.

Another added: “So amazing she doesn’t require people to drive her and can easily do it herself.” Another impressed fan wrote: “Driving in stilettos – respect right there!”

A third person commented on Kate’s actions, saying: “I love the fact that she’s holding her own umbrella.” A fourth agreed, saying: “I love it that she took that umbrella from him, and she carried it!”

Inside the royal engagement, Kate shared a candid admission about her eldest child Prince George, and how she often avoids him, as he grows into a teenager, when playing sport at home.

While mingling with the players and their coach, Kate – who is patron of the Rugby Football Union – praised their win and hailed the “amazing achievement,” telling the world champions: “You’ve really inspired all the new generation (that) perhaps might not even have thought rugby was for them.”

Kate added: “I think it really showed how accessible rugby is to so many types of girls, in different parts of the country.” When asked if her daughter played the sport, the princess replied: “Charlotte is playing rugby but at home with the family, so she isn’t yet at school, and I was asking how many schools are actually incorporating (rugby).

“Rugby is so accessible, Louis is playing touch rugby and it’s such a great game. Actually, they shouldn’t necessarily push boys and girls in particular sports too early.”

Kate then had the rugby team in stitches with her candid comment about Prince George, as she said: “Obviously as they get physically stronger – George now, if we play at home, I do not want to get tackled by George – but, up to a certain age, I think it’s great.”

The Red Roses beat Canada 33-13 in the final in front of a record-breaking crowd of 81,885 spectators at a sold-out Twickenham, securing a third World Cup victory for England following wins in 2014 and 1994.

Love Island stars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury split in August 2024 over his drinking problems, but the couple have since reconciled and she’s dropped a huge engagement update

Molly-Mae Hague has given a massive clue that her engagement to Tommy Fury is back on track . The reality star turned business mogul revealed she’s started wearing her ring again in a recent episode of her Amazon Prime docuseries, Behind It All.

The telly star, 26, and the boxer, 26, who are parents to daughter Bambi, first crossed paths on ITV’s Love Island in 2019, where they ended up as runners-up.

However, after a five-year relationship, the pair parted ways in 2024, with Tommy later confessing that his excessive drinking was the catalyst for their breakup.

Now, the social media influencer has confirmed to her sister Zoe in the latest episodes of the show that she’s begun wearing her engagement ring again.

In the last three episodes of series two, which premiered on Prime Video on Friday, Molly-Mae and Zoe share a final meal together before Zoe and her husband Danny move into their new house.

During the chat, Zoe observed that Molly-Mae has been sporting her ring again, to which she responded: “Yeah, I’ve been wearing it a little bit.”

Zoe then queried if she plans to continue wearing it, and Molly-Mae answered: “Yeah, I feel in a place where I want to wear it again and we are fully back together and that’s a symbol of that.”

Zoe further asked: “And you’re not waiting for anything, are you?” to which Molly-Mae simply said: “No.”

The Mirror has contacted Molly and Tommy’s representatives for comment.

In another part of the docuseries, Molly-Mae disclosed that she sought therapy to heal from the ‘trauma’ of her split from Tommy. She confessed: “It was deep. The past does affect me. I’m an avoider and I struggle to face things head-on. My biggest trauma would be my break up last year.”

After patching things up with Tommy, Molly-Mae also shared her apprehensions about history repeating itself.

She continued: “Therapy has helped me clear my head and go into this next chapter with a strong mindset. I feel confident in my decision and how amazing this will be for us as a family.”

This fresh batch of episodes sees Molly-Mae conquering her insecurities to strut the runway for L’Oreal Paris, as well as kick-starting her lucrative collaboration with Adidas. In the series, Molly-Mae also revealed that moving back in with Tommy Fury was ‘bittersweet’ after reigniting their romance.

The influencer, who spent Christmas and New Year holidaying in the picturesque Maldives with Tommy and their daughter Bambi, confessed she still harbours ‘fear’ over their future together months after they rekindled their relationship.

Molly admitted that she never envisioned packing up her home and moving back in with Tommy following their split in August 2024. The former Love Island stars ended their relationship due to Tommy’s alcohol addiction, which he later admitted had ‘cost’ him his ‘entire family’.

Tommy, who has consistently denied allegations of infidelity, stated that his ‘problems’ with alcohol, triggered by a boxing injury, led to their break-up, adding that he ‘couldn’t be the partner that I wanted to be anymore’.

Reflecting on giving their year-long romance another shot, Molly described her move from her Cheshire home as ‘bittersweet’ and expressed her ‘fear’ of the uncertainty in their relationship.

In a snippet from the series, Molly shared: “I am very proud of me and Tommy for working through things. It’s just going to bring us even closer as a family. When I move into Tommy’s house, I am closing the door and leaving behind such an incredible chapter in my life, it’s very bittersweet. It’s also just that fear of not knowing what’s round the corner so, just a few things going on.”

When questioned if she could have predicted a year ago that she would be moving back in, she responded: “Big no, I really don’t want to, honestly.”

Although Tommy doesn’t physically appear to film scenes for Behind It All, he is featured through videos and FaceTime calls.

Currently the tan remover is on sale with 20% off at Debenhams, with the larger 440ml reduced from £29.99 to £23.99, whilst the smaller 200ml is £15.99 down from £19.99.

You simply mask the areas you want to remove your tan from with the Self Tan Remover and leave it to sit on your skin for 60 seconds, then hop in the shower and use the included exfoliation mitt to gently buff it away. You can then either reapply a fresh layer of tan onto your skin, or leave it natural until the next time you want to boost your glow.

You can also snap up similar products at LookFantastic, where the 200ml Bondi Sands Self Tan Eraser is £17.49. The cleansing formula works in five minutes, foaming up to help break down your tan which can then be gently wiped away with a face cloth, although you might need an exfoliating mitt for more stubborn areas.

At Debenhams the Purity Excel 60 Second Self Tan Remover has only one review, with the five star rating saying: “Cant believe how well this product worked. Amazing.”

However there are more reviews at Boots, where it’s also on sale. One said: “Literally worked just like the videos shown online! Followed the instructions and it did come off in 60 seconds!”

Whilst another agreed: “Bought this as a last minute resort to fixing some patchy tan and I wasn’t disappointed, it worked so well I was very impressed!”

However one negative review warned: “I wouldn’t use this product again, first time using and done what instructed on tub, I have been left with burns over my body with sore scabs and red irritated skin. I do not have sensitive skin and I find this product to be very harsh, would not recommend to anyone, especially people with sensitive skin, I’ve also seen I’m not the only person who has experienced this and there is no answer to why this is happening. Also does not take my tan off as easy as you see in videos. Wouldn’t recommend and if you do buy, be careful as my skin has never felt so irritated and sore!”

Helen, who found fame playing Rosie Webster on ITV’s Coronation Street, split from ex-Bristol Rovers ace Scott in 2022

View 8 Images

Helen Flanagan has been warned that her feud with ex Scott Sinclair “could get more heated” following reports the footballer is forcing her out of her home. Helen, who found fame playing Rosie Webster on ITV’s Coronation Street, currently lives in a lavish six-bedroom home with her and Scott’s three children.

Scott is said to be keen for Helen to downsize and live in a smaller property, but sources claim that the 35-year-old actress will not be going quietly. While the couple share Matilda, ten, Delilah, seven, and son Charlie, four, their relationship is non-existent, and they’re reportedly no longer on talking terms. Instead, any communication is reportedly going through their relatives.

According to an psychotherapy expert, the increasing tension between Helen and Scott is at risk of becoming “the new normal” if they don’t seek intervention.

Marygrace Anderson, psychotherapist, certified hypnotherapist and founder of MG Hypnosis, tells The Mirror: “The fact that communication appears to have broken down to the point where everything is going through Helen’s parents suggests just how strained things have become between Helen and Scott. The concern psychologically is that if this dynamic continues, it risks becoming increasingly the new normal.

“The current conflict around the house is likely about far more than the property itself. For Helen, the home may represent stability, routine, proximity to family support and continuity for the children, particularly given how young they are. From Scott’s perspective, the house may feel financially unsustainable or necessary to sell in order to fund the next stage, which can leave both parties feeling stuck and unheard.”

Helen and Scott decided to split in 2022 after 13 years together. However, although the former couple never walked down the aisle together, Helen’s home in Belmont, near Bolton, is in Scott’s name. The lavish property was last year put on the market for a staggering £1.5million, but it was later reduced to £995,000.

While Scott is keen for Helen to downsize, it’s said that the actress is a fan of the area where she currently lives, and she doesn’t want to disrupt her children and their education. Helen also lives in close proximity to her parents.

“Scott pays for the house and all the bills, and he’s decided a six-bedroom place is way too big for Helen on her own with the kids,” a source said. They went on to tell The Sun : “Helen doesn’t want to move and is digging her heels in. She loves the place, the kids are settled at the local school, and her mum and dad live around the corner.”

Reports claim Scott has even offered to buy Helen a new home. They added: “Scott wants to buy Helen a four-bedroom home. He’s even offered to put it in her name, but wants to stop the maintenance payments.” However, the source went on to say that Helen added value to the property. They claimed that Scott wanted to sell the home to “take the money out,” before adding that he was “not being reasonable.”

Over the Christmas period, Helen took aim at her ex-fiancé for failing to show up for their son’s nativity. Instead, Scott was at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. She fumed on social media: “You really are a piece of sh*t. How dare you not turn up to Charlie’s nativity.”

Scott had posted snaps of his weekend in the United Arab Emirates, where he saw British driver Lando Norris win the title. “What a weekend – Abu Dhabi F1,” he wrote. “Happy Days, blurry nights.” Marygrace explains Helen’s reaction could be a sign of feeling “unheard”.

She says: “When a long-term relationship breaks down, particularly one involving young children, nervous systems can remain in a heightened state for a long time. That often makes practical matters, such as housing and finances, feel far more emotionally charged than they otherwise might.

“For Helen specifically, this seems to be a very difficult period. She has experienced the end of a long relationship and now faces uncertainty around the family home and stability for the children. It’s common in situations like this for emotions to spill over, particularly at times such as Christmas, when family expectations, absence and perceived unfairness can feel amplified.

“Publicly expressing frustration or hurt can often be a sign of feeling unheard, rather than an intention to escalate conflict – as she already acknowledges there is communication issues.”

Marygrace warns that without therapy, Helen – who has set her sights on finding love again -might struggle to move forward.

She explains: “It’s unlikely to be practical or healthy long term to rely on grandparents as the go-to, and rebuilding some form of direct, supported communication would be important for future decision-making around the children’s needs. If they don’t, things could get more heated and spill out into the media.

“As well as this, individual therapy could also help at this stage of life. Therapies that focus on emotional regulation and coping mechanisms – including hypnotherapy – can support individuals in managing stress, reducing impulse reactions and feeling more calm and grounded during periods of uncertainty or instability.

“The further apart and disillusioned both sides become with each other, the harder it is to move forward in an amicable manner. However, with the right support and intention, it is possible to reduce conflict which ultimately benefits everyone involved. After all, the ‘relationship’ will continue for the rest of their lives.”

The Mirror has approached representatives for both Scott and Helen.
