No arrests had been made as of early on Monday afternoon. In the earlier stages of the investigation, police are said to have identified the rising star as a “20-year-old woman.”
However, she was later identified as Maria De La Rosa, 22, according to a statement released on Monday. Fans took to her social media page to leave a number of tributes after her death was revealed.
One devastated fan wrote on an Instagram post: “This one hurt me the most. I love you forever. S*** will never be the same without you. RIP.” Another said: “Sweet angel, may you rest peacefully now.”
A third person also expressed their own heartache, sadly stating, “Damn gone too soon, rip legend.” I’m in such great pain right now, I never could have imagined living without you,” a fourth solemnly said. My heart is broken and shattered.
Her passing occurred shortly after her birthday celebration. She had recently made a joke about getting ready to release new music.
She wrote, “Ocupando cocinando en el Stu,” in a recent Instagram post. It’s Game Time, baby. It’s about time to get busy cooking in the studio, it’s translated.

No Me Llames, her song, was her best known work. Don’t Call Me is the English equivalent of the title. This song was released in August by her.
De La Rosa had more than 42, 000 followers on her social media accounts, which made her a household name. She frequently took the time to share information about her lavish lifestyle. She would post videos of her expensive purchases and travels.

Phoenix, Melanie Brown’s daughter, has shed a significant hint that a Spice Girls reunion is on the horizon.
The infamous ’90s girl group are rumored to be organizing a 30th anniversary reunion for the group next year. Mel B, 48, and Melanie C, 51, have recently spoken out about the speculation, and last month, Lady Victoria Beckham, 51, also shared her thoughts on a potential return to the stage.
Many people anticipate their return to the stage, and Phoenix acknowledges that she is “singing along in the front row.” The Spice Girls’ reunion, according to the 26-year-old DJ, would be a great success.
Phoenix told The Sun, “Everyone always asks me, and I’m the last to know, but I’ll obviously be in the front row singing every song. So I’ll be prepared for it when they implement it. It will be “mega”.
Since missing their 2019 tour, Victoria hasn’t performed with the Spice Girls since the 2012 Olympics, but Phoenix insisted that she should.
She continued, “Spice Girls can’t be without her, but they do do well without her anyway. They are still considered family.
It comes shortly after Mel C suggested that Spice Girls reunion discussions are being afoot. She stated on Good Morning America to promote her ninth studio album, Sweat, that she is still optimistic. Next year, we’ll celebrate our thirtyth anniversary. I want to reunite with the girls on stage.
She continued, “We toured in 2019, we did a few stadium shows in the UK, and it was incredible. We’re just so proud of our legacy, and we’ve got fans from younger generations who adore the Spice Girls.
The performer continued, “We’re talking and looking at the opportunities that are available.” We feel so precious about it, we want to make sure it’s the right thing, and we want to choose wise judgment.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Victoria sparked a flurry of fans when she re-entered the singing craze.

The fashion designer turned in an Instagram video as she performed an acoustic version of Viva Forever with her 20-year-old son, Cruz, marking her first performance in years.
Fans quickly reacted, begging for a full-fledged reunion to be posted in the comments. One person said, “Everything is possible to see Victoria singing her best song again.” The pair’s official studio recording of the duet, “Victoria singing Viva Forever in 2025?!?!,” was requested by some listeners. a fan remarked.
Vogue Williams revealed how cleverly she is capturing the jungle lipstick look.

The trick was also used last year by Coleen Rooney and Tulisa(Image: ITV)
If you’ve watched I’m a celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, you’ll know that the campmates have lost their phones, their belongings, and, most shockingly for some, their make-up. Despite having long since removed her makeup, Vogue Williams has managed to look strangely polished during the past few days while she has been in camp.
The secret is a permanent liner, which she claims has been using for years because “it lasts for ages,” as she casually revealed to Ruby Wax around the campfire.
And with that one off-hand comment, Lip Blush treatments were reintroduced into the limelight.
Before heading into the jungle, Alex Scott, the star of I’m a Celeb, quietly shared her anti-ageing skincare regimen.
The version Vogue swears by is nothing like the harsh ‘90s permanent make-up many of us still picture– those dark, sharply drawn lines that aged badly and faded even worse. According to leading permanent make-up artist Karen Betts, who Vogue has to thank for her own lip colour, today’s Lip Blush is an entirely different world: softer, more natural and designed to look like your lips on their absolute best day.
Think of Lip Blush as a stain-, stain-, or very subtle micro-tattooing that lasts for a long time. Karen explains that contemporary artists add a diffused veil of pigment using a micro-shading technique and ultra-fine needles instead of rigid lines. Although it doesn’t balloon the lips like filler would, it does give off a more even tone, a slightly fuller shape, and creates the illusion of symmetry.
The artist creates the ideal shape and shade by mapping out the ideal shape and shade, changing the outline as many times as necessary until it is perfect before any pigment even comes onto the skin. The actual treatment begins only after that, which lasts for about 90 minutes and leaves you feeling “like an electric toothbrush held against your skin,” Karen says. A second appointment a few weeks later is standard, to simply check any areas where the color didn’t hold up as well.
The results can last up to a year before gently fading, and most clients return every 12–18 months for a colour boost to keep everything looking fresh. So while the rest of the jungle crew are resigned to bare-faced living, Vogue’s subtly defined, naturally enhanced lips aren’t the result of breaking any ITV rules—they’re simply the product of a very clever bit of beauty prep.
In fact, this prep method isn’t entirely new for this series. Last year, Coleen Rooney and Tulisa both appeared to be wearing a fair amount of make-up on their brows, lips and eyes, leading X users at the time to ask if a few of them had snuck products into their backpacks.

Tulisa took to Instagram shortly before jetting off to Australia to update her followers on her jungle-ready beauty treatments. “I tatted the lips to match the brows, couldn’t help myself!” she penned alongside a selfie.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has shared a moving message to Davina McCall after her cancer scare. The Masked Singer UK judge has never shied away from admitting she’s a huge fan of the former wrestler turned actor.
In 2018, she admitted to messaging him “all the time” with the hopes of meeting him. And her wish kind of came true, during an appearance on BBC Radio 1, The Rock took part in the game Rock, Paper, Scissors, with Davina, albeit over the phone, thanks to Greg James.
He went on to offer her workout advice, as well as encouraging her to keep focused on her fitness journey and dealing with heartbreak. Just weeks after Davina shared on social media that she had secretly been diagnosed with breast cancer and had undergone a lumpectomy before having radiotherapy in January next year, Dwayne, 53, has spoken to the Mirror and shared a message for his super fan.

“Davina, you are a champion, that’s my message to her.” Keep going, he advised, “Stay positive, keep going, champ. You’ve got this.” speaking on the “Is It Just Me”? Davina from the podcast previously stated: “I think Dwayne Johnson is hardworking, gives more than is expected, funny, and… I want to meet him, but in a depressing, fan way. I would have to climb up his thigh because he is so large.
I literally send him messages constantly. Do you think Dwayne Johnson is going to look at his tweets and say, “Oh, there’s a blue tick from a British girl, I’m gonna click on her,” I have a blue tick next to my name. I’m going to respond to her, and she seems like a nice person, too.
Johnson, in the past, has opened up about his tough upbringing, having been evicted from his family home as a teen. Now, he has called on both the UK and US governments to do more to support people in need. “Everybody needs housing, they need healthcare, they need food,” he said, adding: “Countries like the US and UK are among the wealthiest in the world, we have to make sure the basic needs of our people are met. There is no other option.”
The legendary actor admits to having concerns for the world in which his three daughters are growing up. He said, “As a father, you wouldn’t sleep at night if you thought about the dangers in the world.” They were taught to treat others with kindness and respect, but they also learned to defend themselves and act badass when necessary.
They all make it very clear how they deserve to be treated, and being a parent should do your best. Dwayne may come across as someone who “rarely becomes vulnerable,” but that is not the case because he measures up to an impressive 6’4″.
He previously made an open statement about his “three bouts of depression,” which helped to break down the stigma surrounding male mental health. I believe that men need to improve at talking, he said.
We view dealing with problems on our own as a strength, Johnson said in a heartfelt admission, but the truth is that opening up and being vulnerable is one of the bravest things we can ever do. Johsnon urged men to “open up more and encourage men to talk about their own mental health openly”: “Speak up and tell someone you trust if you are struggling. They may not have all the solutions, but speaking out and not going through these things alone is half the battle.
Dwayne shed a staggering 27.2 kg for his most recent performance as Chicken Man in the film Lizard Music. He typically weighs 136, but the film’s release last month required him to show a leaner frame. However, Dwayne found the process to be the most difficult.
He continued, “It was not something I used to do, but the main thing for me was eating less.” I’ve always been a fan of calorie counting to support my gym work, but for the first time, I had to eat less and lose weight.
Almost a quarter of a century since his first movie, The Mummy Returns, Johnson admits that he doesn’t have any major concerns about the industry and advancing technology, including films also being shot on iPhones.
When asked about the development of technology, he responded, “I don’t really think much about that.” Johnson continued, “I’ve seen significant advances in technology over the past 25 years since I did my first movie.” You just go with it, I’m sure I’m certain that there will be more advancements in the next 25 years.
Despite being completely different from wrestling to acting, Dwayne does observe that there are similarities between the two professions. Although there are undoubtedly fundamental differences between the two, “he said before saying that it was great preparation and training for me to get into character and keep the audience’s attention,” “even though making movies is very different,” “he said.
Johnson admits that he can’t give away much about the Jumanji series with the exception of one spoiler. You know that I can’t really tell you anything about the script, but you all need to know that Kevin Hart is truly a meander to him than he has ever been.
And he couldn’t contain his excitement when Moana appeared on stage in live action. Due to both his Samoan heritage and what Moana means to gans, Johnson holds a special place in his heart in the movie. He said, “It’s just special to me to bring Maui to life.” Firstly, because of my Samoan heritage, and also because people are taught what the word “Moana” means. The biggest request I receive from fans is to sing “You’re Welcome,” and that’s the movie I’m asked most about. Many people’s hearts have been touched by it.
Jeff Brazier expressed his “love and gratitude” for his ex-wife. The This Morning presenter also revealed that he and Kate split several months ago but decided to keep it a secret.
After 12 years of being a couple, seven of which they were married for, the former couple decided to end their relationship. Jeff, 46, has since taken to social media to explain their breakup. He expressed his gratitude and love for Kate.
For everything we accomplished, how much we improved, and how much we endured. We separated over the summer, but we kept it that way so we could adjust.
After his marriage broke down, Jeff has spoken out.
The couple split earlier this year (See Instagram: jeffbrazier).
“For 12 years, at a time when our lives have been busy, painful, and complex, we have been each other’s biggest supporters.” I’m extremely proud of how diligently we worked, how consistently we showed up, and how much we gave. I’m also so proud of Kate’s successful career and how genuinely caring she was for me.
Because she is so invested in their lives, she is still able to check in and tell the boys how they are doing. They and I have many friends who also adore her. I will miss her family, who has always supported us above and beyond.
Because they don’t need to, my words don’t convey the full picture. We will continue to support one another, and I’m confident that I’ll be celebrating her unavoidable victories just like we did before. We both deserve complete joy, but it felt right to let go of our differences because we ultimately couldn’t be that for one another.
Kate allegedly left the family home (Instagram)
The former couple will continue to “support” one another despite their split (jeffbrazier/Instagram).
Jeff appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain today despite the split’s announcement coming out on Monday night. He remained professional throughout the segment.
Even though the weather there was extremely windy and wet, Jeff appeared to be in great spirits when hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid gave him a live video link introduction. He remarked, “Morning! Talking about inclement weather, Reykjavik is currently very wet and windy, but I’m sure that will change as the day progresses.
The Perlan Museum, which is renowned for having the best view and chance of seeing the Northern Lights, is where I am.
The TV star, who had a famous relationship with late Big Brother legend Jade Goody and later raised their sons Bobby, 22, and Freddy, 21, after she passed away in 2009 from cancer, made it through the remainder of his short episode despite the bad weather.
Kate, a PR expert, allegedly left their marriage home three weeks ago. She is alleged to have returned to her north London apartment in Hackney. It’s been a very stressful year for everyone, according to a source close to The Sun. One thing followed the next.
They’ve been subjected to too much pressure, according to the couple’s marriage, which has revealed their flaws. Kate has admitted she’s had enough with her friends.

In the current economic environment, even good-cause retailers are struggling. Ahead of Rachel Reeves Budget, in the latest blow to the hight street, they warn of surging costs, mounting costs and poor quality donations

Once a bargain-hunting treasure, they were full of finds. But many charity shops are struggling for survival as costs rise and sales slump in a challenging economic climate.
As Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares to deliver her autumn Budget today, retailers have warned that any further price hikes – following rises in employer National Insurance contributions, energy bills and rent – could trigger new closures.
Cancer Research UK recently announced its intention to shut down 200 stores, prompting the warning. Disability charity Scope is also shutting 56 stores across England and Wales, while Oxfam and Barnado’s have reported sluggish sales.
Separately, industry experts claim that sales are also impacted by a decline in the quality of donations.
Despite continuing strong trade since Easter, according to Robin Osterley, CEO of the Charity Retail Association, the sector has faced significant costs.
Because many of our members have been part-time staff members who have entered the national insurance system for the first time under the threshold, he explains, “it definitely hurts in terms of cost,” he says. “Profitability has taken a slight nosedive,” the statement reads.

When charity shops are run by people who assume they are cheap, according to Tom Abbott, director of income generation at St Christopher’s Hospice.
Tom claims that these measures don’t fully cover the full cost of keeping stores open despite support from tax relief and the Gift Aid program, which allow charities to receive an extra 25p for every £1 donated.
“We still have to pay rent, utilities, insurance and employ trained staff to manage volunteers and comply with regulations”, he says.
“And operating costs can continue to be high due to the high costs of waste disposal.” Every penny raised in our St. Christopher’s stores requires a lot of work.
In South East London, the charity has more than 20 locations that sell clothing, toys, books, and home goods. It is changing the sales pattern. Last year, it generated income of £5.4million, with more customers coming through its doors than in the previous year. Tom attributes this to the vibrant local consumer base.
He goes on to say that the community connection is crucial. “We work really hard to be part of the communities that we’re in, whether it’s Streatham or our wider community. The locations of St. Christopher’s shops and national charities differ slightly, as your immediate connection to your neighborhood, your family, and your neighbors are less difficult to recreate.
However, they are having to rummage for longer than usual while shoppers keep looking for bargains. The quality of donations has definitely gone downhill over the past two years, “explains Emma Wiseman, 27, store manager at the homeless charity Crisis on Streatham High Road. She points to the rise in cheap clothing made for mass retailers in large numbers as one cause of fast fashion.
However, she continues, “Our attitudes have changed and we are now seen as a place to dispose of trash.” This is also being shared by other charity shop managers, which I am aware of. They get shoes that are broken and things that are very stained, which is more work for us.
“It would be wonderful if more people knew what we can and can’t sell. Although we appreciate all donations, it frustrates us when 80% of what you receive on that day is pure garbage.
It’s the same story across the country. Around half of all her shop donations, according to Stefanie Curran of Punk Against Poverty, a community interest organization in Torquay, Devon, claim to be unreachable. The fully volunteer-run shop now earns just £6 per week, up from £150 per week from textile recycling organizations.
“We get a huge amount of dirty or damaged donations”, explains Stefanie. Because it’s dirty, ripped, stained, or painted on, about half of what comes in is unusable. The standard of quality has drastically decreased. Only around 15% of what we receive makes us go, ‘ Oh wow, that’s brilliant'”.
The store now pays to get rid of numerous items that were previously paid for. When it opened in 2020, unsellable donations were sent to textile recyclers for a decent return. However, Stefanie claims that there are significant issues with the rag trade. Textile waste is being handled on international markets, where sorting is more expensive and difficult.
“Our shop is tiny and we only sell clothing, books and a few toys, but we still get household goods dumped on our doorstep”, Stefanie grimaces. “The bags frequently have been rained on or used as dog toilets.” Nobody will help sort through that.
There may be one unexpected saviour in the wings – Vinted. The online resale platform, along with DePop and eBay, has eaten into charity shop sales in recent years as people sell their best second-hand items for a profit. But Punk Against Poverty now, paradoxically, relies heavily on the items it sells through eBay and Vinted. “If we didn’t have them, the shop wouldn’t be open anymore,” says Stefanie. One of her biggest concerns right now is shoplifting. “We have a massive issue with people stealing items and swapping labels,” she says. “Charity shops don’t have the same security as other stores, and people take advantage of that.”
In light of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, shoplifting has reached record highs in England and Wales this year. Some 530, 643 such offences were reported in the year to March, a 20% rise from the previous year.
At her Crisis store, Emma Wiseman first-hand witnessed it. People don’t necessarily notice what’s attached, she says because they just see it as a store. “But stealing from a homelessness charity is like the next level”.
Streatham High Road in South London might be the place to be if there is a reason to cheer. Along one side of the nearly two-mile-long road, there are 11 charity locations, including FARA, Shelter, and the British Heart Foundation. Emma says these shops aren’t just retail spaces, they’re social spaces and community hubs for everyone. Many stores offer customers regular entertainment and live music events.
The high street could serve as a model for others, according to her colleague, Aurora McLaughlin-Hacker, store manager at the Streatham Crisis store.
“Streatham’s a very interesting place because charity shops do really well, partially because it’s a very low-income area”, she says. So charity stores fill a need that conventional retail outlets cannot. There is a lot of do-it-yourself culture in Streatham as a person who was born and raised, with little to no buying or selling. She continues: “There’s a Streatham charity shop circuit that a lot of young people do as a daily activity – you can start off at Streatham Hill and go all the way down. I am aware that as a teenager, we would do the charity shop circuit down here rather than going to Wandsworth or Croydon or whatever.
Meerab Shamoon, 25, store manager at the British Heart Foundation in Streatham, agrees. She applauds the strong community spirit that keeps the high street thriving, breaking the national trend of store closures, and believes that local charity stores operate more like neighbors than rivals.
She says, “The shops are very collaborative, we help each other with stuff; it’s very open, we share, we support each other,” adding, “it’s very collaborative.” “People shop locally, and you want to have a relationship with your customer. Many regular customers have become volunteers, thanks to us. I started out as a volunteer and now manage. I’ve covered 13 shops in South London and Streatham is the only place I’ve seen this much collaboration and communication. This place is incredibly welcoming.
Stefanie Curran urges people to do everything in their power to stop the pain, even though it will take time to come through and retailers are prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
First and foremost, think before dropping off any donation.
“Having to go through complete garbage or plastic bottles that ought to be in the bin and having to wear gloves to sort through it is disheartening,” she says.

“Please remember to wash items first and check what the shop actually needs before making your donation”. We can all do it at the very least.
