Katie Price has returned to the Mucky Manion on a horse a year after being evicted following her bankruptcy hell. The glamour icon, 46, left the sprawling pile in Sussex after being declared bankrupt for a second time last year.

Katie, who has downgraded to a smaller property, and has now cleared her debts, told her followers she ‘hates’ her old house as she filmed herself outside with her riding gear. Telling her fans she goes riding past the property, while sporting a black hat white ‘Don’t Doubt Yourself’ t.shirt, and high-waisted jodhpurs, she said: “So funnily enough, I am outside the old Mucky Mansion, next door. I absolutely hate the old house.” Pointing at large field, she continued: “That was my old field. When I had to give the keys back, they gave me an ultimatum [to repair it]. They gave me two years and I didn’t want to spend all that time doing it. £500 to £800 grand I got quoted!”

After endless back and forth about her future at the property, the former glamour model confirmed she was leaving the Mucky Mansion, which featured in Katie’s Channel 4 makeover series, not long after being served eviction papers last year.

In October 2014, Katie paid £1.35 million to buy the Horsham, West Sussex, home.

The Mirror reported the OnlyFans star was sent a letter, dated April 24, 2024, stating that ‘the eviction will take place on May 29, 2024, at 10am’.

The court “has issued a warrant or writ for the possession of the property,” according to the letter.

After admitting that the last six years of her life were “hell,” Katie is now free of her financial burdens.

The mother-of-five filed for bankruptcy again last year, owing a staggering $750,000, which forced her to sell her home and move out of the Mucky Mansion.

However, the Pricey recently revealed that she has cleared her debts as she opened up about ‘learning her lesson’ on a recent episode of The Katie Price Show.

Sophie, Sophie’s sister, congratulated her on the fact that she is no longer bankrupt. I’m out of both of them, just like I’m out of it.

Everything has been hell over the past six years, both mentally and personally. I’ve worked so hard to talk to people and get rid of the issues that caused them, but I’m done.

“It’s wonderful to no longer be bankrupt. I now have complete control over everything.

JJ Slater, Katie’s Married At First Sight star boyfriend, and Katie are now moving forward and enjoying each other.

The 32-year-old reality star tells Katie to enjoy her horseback ride in Katie’s video outside the Mucky Mansion.

Katie responds by telling her boyfriend to enjoy his run before poking fun at JJ’s sheepish request to show him “these f*g sexy legs.”

What was Gary Lineker’s controversial Instagram post that was ‘final straw’ for BBC bosses?

Following the growing outcry over a contentious social media post that sparked accusations of anti-Semitism, Gary Lineker is reportedly set to resign from the BBC on Monday.

Former England footballer and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker is expected to leave the BBC by mutual agreement, amid escalating criticism surrounding his recent social media activity.

The fallout began last Monday after Lineker, 64, shared a pro-Palestinian video on Instagram that included a rat emoji which is a symbol historically used in Nazi propaganda to dehumanize Jewish people. The post drew widespread condemnation and was quickly deleted. Lineker issued an apology, but the controversy continued to intensify throughout the week.

Pressure on the broadcaster increased on Thursday after The Telegraph published a revealing interview in which Lineker expanded on his criticism of Israel’s actions and appeared to take aim at senior figures within the BBC.

According to sources, plans for Lineker to lead BBC coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup have now been scrapped. His early departure from the broadcaster is expected to be confirmed today.

The BBC presenter with the highest-paid position on the air apologized for releasing an anti-Zionism video. A rat, which has historically been used as an antisemitic insult in Nazi Germany, was featured in the post, which made reference to the language used to describe Jews.

Continue reading the article.

According to his agent, Gary immediately revoked the post after realizing the symbol’s significance. He also issued a statement last Tuesday afternoon, in which he “apologises unwaveringly” for his “mistake.”

He stated in a statement that he “repeated material on Instagram that I have since learned contained offensive references.” “I regret these references a lot.” Never, without knowing, do I share any antisemitism. It contradicts everything I firmly believe.

As soon as I learned about the problem, the Match of the Day presenter said he had deleted the post. I have a strong belief in speaking out on humanitarian issues, including the tragedy affecting Gaza, but Lineker continued, “I also know that how we do that matters.

Gary Lineker on The Assembly
Gary resigned from his post in response to any offense he might have caused.

I accept full responsibility for this omission. My opinions are not expressed in that image. I sincerely apologize for what I did, “he said.

Gary, a veteran Match of the Day host, appeared ready to end his time with the broadcaster after the 2026 World Cup. Due to the negative reaction to a social media post about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the seasoned presenter has resigned.

He reshared information from the Palestine Lobby, which prompted Campaign Against Antisemitism to claim they would file a complaint.

The BBC’s director general, Tim Davie, previously responded to the criticism. Everyone has a bad reputation for the BBC, and it costs us, he said.

Lineker was suspended from the air for an episode of Match of the Day in 2023 for his remarks about Conservative government language.

He wrote, “We take much fewer refugees than other major European nations.” I’m out of order, and this is just an incredibly cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in a language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 1930s.

Lineker questioned the Beeb’s social media guidelines in a recent interview with Amol Rajan of the BBC. People in the news and current affairs were subject to the impartiality rules. He claimed that they have since changed.

But that left people like me, who have always expressed open minds about things. Then they abruptly changed them, and you must now say, “Oh, I have to be impartial now.” It is illogical.

“Don’t worry about the people who dislike you,” you ask. The BBC makes this error. The BBC tries to appease those who despise it. The people who constantly criticize the license fee. Instead of caring about the BBC fans, they worry far too much about that.

Why shouldn’t I be expressing my opinion? Lineker and Rajan were in the same interview. I’ve always been strong on humanitarian issues, and I’m still doing so. Because it had never been an issue up until this point, the goalposts were incredibly moved.

According to the BBC guidelines, “it was always intended for those who worked in news and current affairs” in terms of impartiality. What I say has a lot of thought. I was taken off the air, which was a silly overreaction.

Thursday night blockbuster to start 2026 Six Nations

  • 27 Comments

When the 2026 tournament kicks off on February 5th, Ireland will face defending champion France in the first-ever Thursday night game in Six Nations history.

The last four titles won by Ireland and France have been moved up, and their blockbuster 20:10 GMT encounter will now be played in a different time frame than the Milan opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics in Milan.

The shift aims to increase French audience size.

With 9.5 million viewers (a 46% share of viewers) watching live on France2, the tournament’s finale, which came after France defeated Scotland to win the title, was record-setting.

Overall, the audience for the 2026 tournament increased by 6.3% overall in domestic markets.

Full 2026 Six Nations games (times GMT) are available.

Round 1

Thursday, February 5th, 20:10, France vs. Ireland

Saturday, February 7th, 2014: Italy vs. Scotland

Saturday, February 7th, 16:40 GMT: England v. Wales

Round 2

Ireland v Italy – Saturday 14 February (14: 10)

Sunday, February 14th, 2016 at 16:40 GMT, Scotland v. England

Wales v France – Sunday 15 Feburary (15: 10)

Round 3

Saturday, February 21 (14: 10): England vs. Ireland

Wales v Scotland – Saturday 21 February (16: 40)

France v Italy – Sunday 22 February (15: 10)

Fourth round

Ireland v Wales – Friday 6 March (20: 10)

Scotland v. France on Saturday, March 7 (14: 10)

Italy v England – Saturday 7 March (16: 40)

Round 5

Ireland v Scotland – Saturday 14 March (14: 10)

Wales v Italy – Saturday 14 March (16: 40)

With free weekend play on February 28 and March 1, the first three matches will be played in three weeks.

The final two rounds will be played on different weekends, culminating in a “Super Saturday” of back-to-back matches when France takes on England in the final contest.

The tournament’s shorter duration should help it gain more momentum, with more popular narratives and easier access to public discourse.

The third fixture round was originally scheduled to fall between two weekend rest periods.

Following France’s defeat of Ireland, the opening round of matches sees England play Wales on the same day (16:40 GMT) and Scotland travel to Italy on Saturday, February 7 (14:10 GMT).

France is still confirming the venues for its games.

The French Rugby Federation announced in December that it had not yet received a favorable offer to stay at their customary Paris residence, the Stade de France.

It added that it was taking into account “the various opportunities that are available” elsewhere.

While the Stade de France was closed as a result of France’s Six Nations participation in Marseille, Lille, and Lyon, the country was restricted to play there.

No venue can match the Stade de France’s 80 000 capacity and revenue, but all three venues can hold more than 50,000.

The 2026 women’s tournament will begin three weeks after the 2025 edition, allowing for an April start and May finish, according to Six Nations organizers.

The change is a part of the new, distinct global women’s game calendar.

Potential region loss ‘another sad day’ – Thomas

Picture agency for Huw Evans

Former Wales captain Gareth Thomas calls the possibility of losing another regional team a “sad day” for Welsh rugby.

After just one season in 2004, Thomas left the Celtic Warriors and was replaced by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU).

After refusing to join Cardiff and Dragons in signing the WRU’s new Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA), Scarlets and Ospreys could face a similar threat in two years.

Since then, their current agreement, which expires in 2027, has been given notice.

Both regions raised concerns that Cardiff, which had been taken over by the WRU last month, would “disproportionally benefit” from the new PRA.

Not just about rugby, though.

Chief Executive Abi Tierney has stated on numerous occasions that the WRU was committed to preserving all four regions, and that they have not yet cut one, but they have not ruled out this possibility in the most recent saga.

Thomas told BBC Radio Wales, “This is just another sad day and another sad story in Welsh rugby.”

It’s important for us to comprehend that rugby is more than just a sport.

According to Thomas, the impact of Celtic Warriors’ demise was profound and had a significant impact on Bridgend, Pontypridd, and its environs.

He said, “It’s not just about the rugby players’ livelihoods; it’s also about the town itself, the area, the region they call home.”

Shops closed when Celtic Warriors lost regional rugby.

There is a real other narrative that, in my opinion, is a little bit more significant than the fate of Welsh rugby because people aren’t inspired anymore and children aren’t interested in playing. This is the state of inspiration for towns, cities, and regions.

“It’s very sad that this has the potential to occur again,” he said.

We need revolution now that evolution has ended.

When the regions experienced a similar PRA crisis in 2023, Ken Owens served as the region’s captain.

Numerous players were in contract limbo after stalled negotiations, with a strike threatened prior to a Six Nations game against England.

The former Scarlets skipper told S4C, “We are still in the same place as we were two years ago.”

We knew something was going to happen, and this agreement needed to be signed, but it hasn’t.

We need to examine the details and how it looks, but the Union hasn’t stated that they will divide into three distinct regions.

Owens, who presided over the Welsh Rugby Players’ Association (WRPA) from 2015 to 2015), expressed disappointment that “we have no way forward for the game in Wales.”

We must consider the sponsors if we lose a region. Why would the sponsors invest in a project that won’t be operational in two years, he said.

“We must keep in mind the players, the staff, and the personal aspect across all four affected regions.”

“We need to have a strategy for moving forward,” he said. “Welsh rugby needs to change.

Lagos Begins Enforcement Of Ban On Single-Use Plastics July 1

On July 1, the Lagos State government announced that it would start enforcing the single-use plastics ban completely.

Tokunbo Wahab, the Environment Commissioner, made this known in a statement on X on Monday.

He explained that 18 months of dialogue, engagement, and transition had resulted in the state government acting strategically and intentionally.

Wahab noted that the government had a number of stakeholder engagements with these product marketers and producers in the span of almost 18 months.

Read more about Lagos beginning the “very soon” enforcement of the ban on single-use plastics.

The state government enacted a ban on Styrofoam usage throughout the state in January 2024, which sparked outcry from residents, particularly those who were involved in a deal to sell the product.

However, the commissioner claimed that the government had taken advantage of international best practices, noting that what is unacceptable elsewhere cannot become accepted in Lagos.

“We once more emphasised this position as a result of a courtesy visit by TETRA PAK West Africa Limited’s management, led by the managing director, Haithem Debbiche.

It’s about environmental responsibility, they say. Additionally, we have taken the necessary steps to adhere to international best practices. What is unacceptable elsewhere cannot be accepted in Lagos. We must invest in our future and pursue good deeds.

“We’re not here to win any points,” the statement read. The purpose of our presence is to accomplish the work. We will insist on accountability and responsibility, just like we did with the Styrofoam ban’s successful enforcement. If everyone plays their part, we could have a cleaner, healthier Lagos.

The Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), also known as KAI, destroyed 5 million pounds of Styrofoam packs in one month at various locations throughout the state.

The agency collaborated with Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) officials to carry out the exercise in the state’s Epe region.

Major Olaniyi Olatunbosun Cole, the corps commander of the LAGESC, said there was no way to go back on the state’s declaration of zero tolerance on the sale, use, and distribution of Styrofoam packs.

The Federal Government declared a one-use plastic ban in all government ministries, departments, and agencies in June 2024.

Iziaq Salako, the minister of state for environment, made this statement after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which was being led by President Bola Tinubu, in Abuja.

According to the minister, some types of plastic, the majority of which are single-use, will be outlawed in Nigeria by January 2025, according to the National Policy on Plastic Waste Management, which was adopted in 2020.

According to Salako, the ban complied with the government’s commitment to addressing the country’s threats to climate change, biodiversity loss, and plastic pollution.
