Another week of treachery and deception on The Traitors has come to an end, but one thing we can all remain faithful to, is Claudia Winkleman’s wardrobe. The presenter has given us another great run of outfits this week, culminating in one of our favourite looks yet; her breakfast look from episode six.
We were already thinking her COS striped jumper and Tux Slim Crop Trousers from Me + Em were one of the most wearable ensembles we’ve seen so far from Claudia, but it was her black and white loafers that sealed the deal for us. Her pair of Wilde Black and White Vegan Penny Loafers from Duke and Dexter were the perfect finishing touch to the outfit, and fans can still shop them with a huge £100 saving.

Usually priced at £250, they’re currently on sale for just £150 on the Duke and Dexter website. Currently there’s only sizes three, four and five in stock, although END. also has the loafers on sale for £150, with sizes three to eight available, and only a size six sold out.
Claudia herself called them “The best shoes on Earth” in her Instagram post promoting the latest episode. Fans also lauded the statement loafers, with one saying: “Those shoes though must have,” and another writing: “@dukedexter are about to sell some f*****g shoes” followed by plenty of fire emojis.
The contrast of the bold black and white was the perfect way to finish off her otherwise quite simple outfit, and brought that little bit of additional flare and sparkle that Claudia’s outfits have become known for. And just to really spice things up, a closer look at the loafers revealed they featured the words “Faithful” and “Traitor” painted on the tongue of each shoe.
Although you don’t have the option of customising your own Wilde Black and White Vegan Penny Loafers, Duke and Dexter does offer several different printed designs for a slightly higher price of £270. You can choose from things like cherries, kiss prints and bow designs, so you can (quite literally) follow in Claudia’s footsteps.
However if the price tag is a little out of budget, you could head over to Clark’s, where the Straven Edge Leather Loafers are also on sale, down from £90 to £45 with sizes 3.5 to seven still in stock. They have a similar black base with contrasting white tongue and Clark’s signature Contour Cushion footbed for extra comfort.

You could also pick up this pair of Dr Martens’ Penton Heart Two-Tone Patent Leather Loafers which are also 50% off, down from £150 to £75. These have a glossy, patent finish compared to Claudia’s pair, but are still in stock in all sizes.
Michael Phillips and Matt Barr, the owners of the world’s smallest and world’s largest penises, respectively, may have very different issues, but there are similarities in the challenges they face

While size absolutely shouldn’t matter, two men with vastly different experiences have shed light on how their unusual members significantly impact their lives.
For Michael Phillips, having the ‘World’s smallest penis’, which measures just 0.38 inches, has caused no end of woes, from dating anxieties to simply using the bathroom. The 38-year-old, who now hopes to get himself into the Guinness World Records for his miniature size, was diagnosed with having a micropenis last year, a condition which affects just 0.6 per cent of men worldwide.
On the other side of the spectrum, Matt Barr, the owner of the world’s biggest penis, has previously opened up about the perils of possessing a 14.5-inch (37cm) member, which has previously resulted in an agonising injury. For reference, the average penis size in the UK ranges from 3.5 to 5.8 inches, putting both men way outside of what is considered ordinary.
Here, the Mirror takes a look at the cursed lives of Michael and Matt, who may have far more in common than strangers might assume…

Dating woes
Sadly, dating has been a minefield for Michael, who was met with howls of laughter when he first showed his penis to a woman, and his unfortunate experiences between the sheets ultimately prompted the North Carolina resident to seek medical attention.
Speaking with The Sun, in 2024, Michael shared: “I went to the doctor about four or five months ago with concerns over my penis size. I was informed there is a condition called a micropenis. I was referred to a urologist. I was always aware it had been small, but wasn’t aware there was a condition for it.
“The main reason I went to the doctor was because my penis is actually too small to have sex at all. I have had a couple experiences of having sex and wasn’t able to get it in and everything. From there, I just stopped trying to date and lost interest in it.”
For Matt, finding that special someone also hasn’t been easy. The London-based AI specialist once opened up to This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard about how tricky it can be to broach the topic with a new partner. He explained: “It’s difficult, because it’s not something you really spring on people as a surprise, because it just does scare people away generally. But obviously [you don’t want to be] creepy and bring it up too early. How do you start that conversation?”
And once in the bedroom, Matt faces yet more hurdles with many women assuming intercourse would be “impossible” once they get a glimpse. Speaking previously with What’s The Jam, Matt revealed, “Lots of women get very scared when they see the size of it. They assume it’s going to be impossible to make things work or be too painful to enjoy. In reality, it may be challenging, but it’s also very rewarding.
“I also think communication is the most important thing in all relationships. Some of the private photo requests I get are very flattering. But I’m still struggling with the self-esteem aspect as a chubby 40-something. There’s always pressure to live up to a certain expectation.”
However, there are a few health and safety concerns to consider before Matt gets intimate, and he’s previously left a partner concussed after things got steamy. Matt, whose girth measures an eyewatering 8.5 inches, divulged, “We both laugh about it now, but I took it out at one point with a girl and then ended up giving her a concussion, just by swinging it. At the time, it was very horrific.”
Surgical considerations
While surgical intervention is possible, Michael was warned surgeons would likely only be able to add an inch and a half at best, in a procedure that would involve either liposuction or ligaments being cut He reflected: “I’m thinking about it, but if that’s all that I would be able to gain then I would still be within the spectrum of a micropenis, so I’m not sure if it would be worth it. I’m still processing it all and have appointments to decide what my next move is.”
Matt has also looked into medical intervention, but again, treatment would be far from simple. The pricey surgery would set Matt back approximately £15,000, and, as explained in a Channel 4 documentary, his penis would need to be erect throughout the procedure, allowing surgeons to cut away whatever was deemed necessary. Back in 2024, Matt also told Metro that a reduction may also leave him with “poor erectile health”, plus scarring.
Public perceptions
Both Matt and Michael have sadly had to put up with feeling ashamed of their own bodies, with both men taking measures to address such stigmas. As a younger man, Michael felt unable to tell anyone about his difficulties, which he kept secret from loved ones throughout his teenage years and twenties.
Michael told This Morning viewers: “I kept it to myself, when I was in my teens and twenties, I was always single, even though I had friends. They wondered why I wasn’t dating, and I didn’t want to go through that. I kept it secret; I didn’t get picked on because nobody knew. ” Nowadays, Michael no longer views his predicament as a “secret” and is keen to raise awareness to help others dealing with similar situations.
Wanting to improve public understanding in a world where micropenises are discussed as a “joke” rather than a “real medical condition”, Michael explained, “There really isn’t very much representation for small sizes in media and almost zero mention of micro penis being portrayed as being a real medical condition and not a slang joke term,” he said.
For Matt, who was once asked to leave a yoga class after the instructor wrongly believed him to be aroused, even simply being out and about in public can be a challenge, with onlookers regularly getting the wrong end of the stick.
Remembering one mortifying holiday disaster, Matt said, “I had an incident not too long ago where I was wearing what I thought were relatively baggy shorts. They ended up showing far too much once they got wet. Another time, I was at a vacation resort, wearing dark board shorts with compression shorts underneath, that I thought covered up everything. After I’d swum, it clung to the outline too much, so one of the managers asked me to leave.
“It’s meant I won’t go on a standard package holiday or in an all-inclusive resort hotel pool, but it’s helped me to look further afield and find quieter locations. It’s not really such a big deal, though. Just another thing I’m unable to do.”
Bathroom struggles
While intimacy may be the first thing that springs to mind with these sorts of issues, everyday tasks such as simply using the toilet can be a problem for men like Michael, who isn’t able to stand and urinate at a urinal. According to Michael, “You have to see it every time you go to the bathroom. With this condition, going to the bathroom is even more challenging. I can’t stand to pee, I have to sit down. It makes it difficult when you’re out in public. I had tickets to an NFL game, but you go to a restroom, and it is just urinals lined up that I can’t use.”
Elaborating on this struggle during his This Morning appearance, Michael said: “I can’t go out and have a one-night stand, but it also affects my ability to use a restroom, my confidence. Even sitting down can be tricky with the cleanup and everything. I’ve tried everything possible.”
For Matt, even something as ordinary as taking a shower can be hazardous, and last year, he ended up with a broken arm after his mammoth phallus blocked his view, preventing him from spotting excess shower gel in his bathtub. This unfortunately led to him tumbling out of the tub headfirst, cracking his shoulder on the hard floor.
Matt previously recalled: “It was a very embarrassing accident. One of the issues with being so large, especially in hot water showers, is that it’s not exactly easy to see my feet. Especially when I move too fast, it can definitely mess with my balance, too. As I was rushing to get ready for work, I didn’t see the excess shower gel in the tub because my penis was the only thing in my eye line.

“I slipped on it, causing me to fall out of the tub completely headfirst and crack my shoulder on the hard floor. I got two fractures as a result.”

ITV’s Saturday Morning presenter and famous chef James Martin has shared his ultimate fish and chips recommendation, and the perfect order which tastes like ‘heaven’
View 3 Images
James Martin, who was born in Malton, has declared that one Yorkshire eatery delivers fish and chip “nirvana” to diners.
The celebrated chef was speaking on LNER’s Routes podcast, hosted by Jenni Falconer, when quizzed about his top Yorkshire destinations.
He championed the Magpie Café in Whitby, with the ITV star even suggesting punters should specifically request a large haddock accompanied by mushy peas, salt, vinegar and tartar sauce.
Growing enthusiastic, James voiced his adoration for the establishment’s offering and his memories of devouring it beside the sea.
James said: “Go to Whitby, you have to have fish and chips, I think at the Magpie. You’ve got to have a large haddock. A large haddock, mushy peas, you have your lemon, your tartar sauce, you have your Sarson’s vinegar and you have your salt.
He added: “You sit there and the wind’s howling a gale, you sit there and you open up this pot of gold, and then there’s just smell as this steam comes up, it hits your nose.
“The wind howling, but as this steam hits your nose, a little drip of snot drips onto your fish and then you’re in nirvana, heaven, you’re in the pinnacle of fish and chips.”
The Magpie Café James mentions is located on Whitby’s seafront and boasts more than four and a half stars from five across nearly 9,000 Google reviews.
This marks another occasion where James has spoken fondly of Yorkshire, with the Saturday Morning presenter previously telling Food and Travel Magazine about his affection for both Whitby and York.
He reminisced: “York was a once-a-week treat; it would be the nearest supermarket but it’s a special place, all the history there, the Shambles. I went there often but I don’t think I appreciated just how amazing it was.
“When I was a young kid, there was nowhere you really wanted to work from a food point of view, maybe a few hotels, but now there’s b****y hundreds of them.
“I love the North Yorkshire moors, the road from Pickering to Whitby – there’s a steam engine that runs along it too. When you get to Whitby you’ve got the best fish and chips and a walk around the arcades.”
James, who currently splits his time between Manchester, Hampshire, and the Cotswolds, has hinted that he might one day return to reside in Yorkshire.

In the same chat, he added: “I know where I’m going on which day, every week, and the travelling isn’t too bad. I’ll get lynched if I don’t end up in Yorkshire. I really do love Yorkshire.”
Love Island star Liberty Poole shared the blunder on her social media, revealing the ordeal took place shortly after she arrived home from travelling for six weeks

Love Island star Liberty Poole has suffered a disaster in Storm Goretti as her parked car crashed into her neighbour’s garden.
The TV star, who recently returned from a trip to Mexico and Dubai after six weeks away, didn’t realise the severity of the storm when the ordeal took place. Liberty revealed in a TikTok video she had been advised by a pal to move her car off her drive as her driveway is sloped.
But, when she attempted to reverse the Fiat 500 off her driveway, she lost control of the car and decided to leave it halfway across her drive with the handbrake up. However, she soon discovered the car wasn’t as secure as she thought as she heard a bang and looked out her window to see her car had crashed.

Speaking in a TikTok video, Liberty took deep breaths before she said: “I can’t make my life up. So this is my first day back, right? My first day back in the UK – no one told me about Storm Goretti. My mate gets on the phone she’s like, ‘Libs you’re going to have to park your car at the bottom of the road. I start to reverse off my drive, I loose control, I’m just gonna leave it halfway up my drive, but I’m gonna put the handbrake on because I don’t trust where this car is going, it could be going anywhere now.
“I’m minding my own business, cooking my dinner – bang, bang – what the hell? I looked outside, my car’s slid all the way down into the neighbour’s garden,” she gasped before adding: “Let me post the evidence…”
She then shared a photo of her Fiat 500 across the road with tyre tracks through the snow showing it slid from Liberty’s driveway to the other side of the road. She then added: “It’s literally diagonal, in the road, in my neighbour’s bush – are you kidding?! Like you cannot make my life up. My car slid down into the neighbour’s garden. I’ve just had to leave it on the road,” she said before taking more deep breaths.
Liberty then explained more about the situation as she told Sky News: “Now my drive is really steep, it’s like – kids could probably go sledging down my drive it’s that steep and I lost control, so I thought, ‘I’m just gonna leave the handbrake on’.
“Anyway, I’m cooking dinner in the microwave and I hear a bang and I’m like, ‘what was that? That sounded like it was coming from outside’.”
She continued: “So I live in a rural area and I look outside my window and I’m like, ‘Hang on, my car’s not on my drive, where’s my car gone?’ Anyway, my car’s ended up in the neighbour’s garden,” she laughs. “In the bush, across the road.”

Liberty added: “I guess my advice would be if you do have a car on a steep drive, make sure you leave it in first gear. And, luckily, I ordered food last night and the guy got here before the weather conditions got too bad. But, I gave him a massive tip, there’s no stopping it.”
Campbell Hatton hinted at how Brooke Heaton is helping him find solace following his dad’s death, telling pals: ‘Started getting things back together over the last few weeks. Long way to go still but here’s to a better 2026’

Ricky Hatton’s son has found love with the daughter of one of the late boxing legend’s best friends.
Campbell Hatton, 25, is being supported in his grief by Brooke Heaton, whose dad is non-league football boss Simon Heaton. Simon, 51, knew Ricky, who took his own life in September aged 46, from when they were young and described him as his best pal.
The pair have gone public with their relationship in recent days, including earlier today when Brooke, 22, wished Campbell happy birthday on Instagram. In a touching post, which included a number of photos of them together, she wrote: “Happy birthday Campbell. You are so special. Have the best day, I love u.”
Campbell, who has a seven-year-old daughter with a former partner, enjoyed a New Year holiday with Brooke alongside other loved ones, with the pair posting pictures of themselves together during the trip on social media.
Commenting on one image taken of them, pal Chelle Wray said: “Aw, you’re with Simons daughter, love this…you look lovely together. Keep on keeping on Campbell..
“We’re all wanting to see you and the family push on through in one piece. No rush..baby steps all the way..and always in your own time too Xx”. Andrea Mellor added: “Be happy you’re dad would approve. Love from Benidorm.”
Campbell and Brooke have also posted a series of other loved-up pictures of themselves together in recent weeks, including at a football match watching Ricky’s beloved Manchester City. Other images showed Campbell with his arms round Brooke’s waist in front of a mirror and her cuddling him in a restaurant.
Brooke’s dad Simon appeared in the 2023 film documentary ‘Hatton’, which included Ricky admitting to wanting to “drink myself to death” during mental health battles. Simon appeared alongside four of Ricky’s other close pals in the Harehill Tavern, which Simon’s family run and Ricky was a regular.
Speaking in it about the sporting talent Ricky showed from a young age, Simon said: “You’d be upstairs in the pub and you’d just hear ‘bang…bang. What’s that noise? It would be Ricky downstairs banging the [punch] bags.”
Simon, who now manages North West Counties League Premier Division side Abbey Hey FC, added: “He was a good footballer as well. We used to organise football tournaments and if you didn’t have Rick on your side your ankles were black and blue. You didn’t pick him on your team, you were f*****.”
Ricky went on to win world titles at light-welterweight and welterweight and fought some of the greatest fighters ever during a glittering 15-year career. He defeated ring greats such as Kostya Tszyu and Jose Luis Castillo before later suffering heartbreaking defeats to superstars Floyd Mayweather Jnr in 2007 and Manny Pacquiao in 2009.
Ricky, who was awarded an MBE in 2007, reportedly left a £40million fortune for his children, including Campbell, Millie, 13, and Fearne, 12. Campbell was himself once tipped to be a promising boxer, but Ricky announced last year that his son had quit the ring to become a solar panel installer.
Ricky’s funeral saw hundreds of mourners, including celebs such as boxing champ Tyson Fury and Oasis singer Liam Gallagher, pack inside Manchester Cathedral for an emotional farewell in October.

As well as losing his dad, Campbell also suffered the death of his own best friend Justin Chappell in March last year. And he was left devastated again when his dad’s pal Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield, bassist in the Stone Roses, died aged just 63 in November.
In a message, posted on Facebook on Wednesday, Campbell alluded to the tragedies, while also hinting how Brooke is helping him recover. He wrote: “Late one but spent new year in my dads favourite place. 2025 as bad is it can get for me and mine.
The pop icon passed away a decade ago this month, but his legacy lives on as his music continues to be played, and in the ‘frightening’ role he played in this 80s classic
View 3 Images
David Bowie is renowned for his monumental influence on the music industry, but some fans will always remember him for the fear he instilled in them as children through his role in a whimsical film.
The icon had previously ventured into cinema with his performance in the 1976 cult classic The Man Who Fell to Earth, where he portrayed an extraterrestrial being. This character resonated with his Ziggy Stardust persona and the musical phase he was immersed in at that time. However, his fascination with fantasy and science fiction didn’t end there; in 1986, he embraced the role of Jareth in Labyrinth.
This musical fantasy flick was helmed by Jim Henson, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, and showcased real puppetry alongside human actors. A young Jennifer Connelly stars as Sarah, with David Bowie playing Jareth, and the plot follows her journey through the maze in search of her kidnapped baby brother.
Navigating the enchanting labyrinth proves to be a daunting task, riddled with perilous traps, but at its heart lies her brother Toby, who has been abducted by the Goblin King. After secretly wishing him away, she now has a mere 13 hours to traverse the labyrinth’s centre and vanquish Jareth.
Throughout her quest, Sarah encounters peculiar landscapes and forms alliances with puppet creatures who assist her in her mission. However, she also faces numerous temptations designed to distract her from rescuing Toby and preventing his permanent transformation into a goblin.
One admirer of the film left a glowing review on Rotten Tomatoes, gushing about the nostalgia it evoked for that golden age of cinema. They wrote: “An absolutely amazing moment in time where you could actually get lost in what’s happening on the screen. This is a childhood classic.”
Another viewer shared: “This is one of my favourite childhood movies. You can’t go wrong with David Bowie and a young Jennifer Connelly. The puppetry of Jim Henson will always be a great hallmark of the 80s, and this is just as iconic as the Muppets.”
Fans continue to heap praise on the filmmakers’ efforts, suggesting they perfected the narrative, which explains why no follow-ups have really been attempted. One reviewer noted: “For how amazing this film is, it’s surprising they never made a sequel or a spin-off series.
“We have a story with a clear goal, character growth, a fantastic world, and most of all, amazing characters. I love how there’s something new to see around every corner. Definitely Bowie’s best movie, Jim Henson’s best, and one of the best fantasy films ever made.”
When Labyrinth first hit cinemas, it enjoyed a prestigious premiere attended by King Charles and Princess Diana. However, despite the Royal fanfare, the film ultimately fell short of commercial expectations and didn’t achieve the blockbuster success producers had anticipated.

Despite initial reception, the film has grown into a beloved classic over the years, particularly celebrated for its groundbreaking puppetry work and imaginative set design. One fan praised it, saying: “Bursting at the seams with memorable characters, beautiful set pieces, and an inimitable performance by David Bowie.”
