Karren Brady’s daughter, Sophia Peschisolido, has revealed she is in the process of trying to seel her lavish Dubai property as she prepares for the arrival of her second child

Karren Brady’s daughter has put her lavish Dubai property on the market for a whopping £1.4million. Sophia Peschisolido, who is currently pregnant with her second child to fiance Frankie Makin, has decided to part ways with her luxurious pad.

Sophia took to social media to reveal the duo are selling up, urging any interested buyers to get in touch. She showed off the stunning spot, including it’s own swimming pool, in the post.

Sophia wrote: “With another baby arriving very shortly @sophiapesch. We are now considering offer’s [sic] for our villa. 7m AED. Any more info please get in touch.”

The price converts to approximately £1.401million. Sophia showed off the relaxing spot, which had a wonderful walkway leading to the pristine pool.

There were a number of spots to lounge in, while the garden and shrubbery looked impeccable. Also visible was an outside grill that was the perfect spot for entertaining.

The clip, shared by Frankie and Sophia, then takes viewers into their open plan space with neutral design. The plush master bedroom and exquisite bathroom is also shown, encapsulating the beautiful living space.

She regularly shares content on social from her abode and is now looking to move on. Sophia thanked those who had contacted her, but pointed them in her partner’s direction fro further comments.

She went on to share a birthday message for her nephew. Sharing a collage of images, she wrote: “Happy birthday to our nephew Blue. Love you so much hope you have the best birthday ever, our first baby.”

Alongside her house move, Sophia has regularly kept fans updated with her pregnancy journey. A week ago she posted a reel of images while posing in a fitted white gown. She simply captioned the upload: “Waiting for you baby boy.”

Last year, Karren gave an insight into her life as a grandparent. The Apprentice aide shared an update about her daughter and grandson, who she called an “extra special” birthday present.

In the final episode of last year’s The Apprentice spin-off, You’re Hired, host Tom Allen said: “A lot has been going on for both of you recently. Karren, I hear congratulations are in order – you’ve recently become a grandmother.”

Karren responded: “I have indeed.” Following applause from the studio audience, she shared: “He is the most beautiful little boy in the world and my daughter is a natural mother.” She then added: “Mother and baby are doing so well.”

Expressing her pride about Sophia, who is the eldest of her two children, and her partner Frankie Makin, Karren further commented: “I am so proud of her and her family and her husband and everybody’s really well, so it’s great.”

The comments came after Sophia took to the social media to celebrate her mum’s birthday, which is exactly a week after her baby’s birthday.

The beloved TV series Friends ended 21 years ago, but fans are only just discovering there was one plot explored on the fictional show that could ‘never be true’

Even 21 years after the last episode aired, Friends remains one of the most popular shows on television. You can often find episodes of the sitcom rerunning on various channels on your TV, and there are dedicated fans who will rewatch the entire series at least once a year.

But even die-hard fans of the show are only just realising that some parts of the fictional series are so outlandish they could actually “never be true” in the real world. And in a video shared on TikTok by Justin Taite, one of those lies was brought to light – and it’s all to do with Matt LeBlanc’s character, Joey Tribbiani.

If you’re a fan of Friends, you’ll know that Joey is an actor, and one of the biggest roles he lands is playing Doctor Drake Ramoray on the soap opera, Days of Our Lives. But did you know Days of Our Lives is a real TV show – and there’s no way Joey ever could have starred on it?

Days of Our Lives aired on NBC in the US, the same network that premiered Friends, between 1965 and 2022, and new episodes have been on Peacock since 2022. So, while the show does really exist, there’s one thing that would have stopped a real-life Joey from ever appearing on it – and it’s all to do with where Friends is set.

In his TikTok video, Justin, who is an actor, confirmed he recently recorded an episode of Days of Our Lives himself, so he knows that it wouldn’t have been possible for Joey.

He said: “Joey Tribbiani could not have been on Days of Our Lives. I know this because I shot an episode back in April, and what I learnt debunks this entire thing.

“After I booked Days of Our Lives and I’m walking through the soundstage and taking it all in, it dawned on me. Do they have a studio in New York, or is Days of Our Lives specifically shot in Burbank [California]? As I’m getting my makeup done, I asked the makeup artist something. I said, ‘Did they shoot this in New York?’ and she says, ‘No, why?’

“I said, ‘So there’s no way that Joey Tribbiani could have ever played Dr Drake Ramoray, because he would have to fly from New York to California and back – 10 hours of flying every day – just to make it to Central Perk in time for coffee’.

“Everybody in the makeup room starts laughing, and [the makeup artist] goes, ‘I’ve worked on this show for 12 years and I have never thought about that once’.”

Justin went on to say that Friends itself was filmed at Warner Bros. in Los Angeles, which is just a few streets away from the Burbank studio where Days of Our Lives is shot. So while it might make sense for Joey to walk to the other studio, it doesn’t quite translate when Friends is supposed to be set in New York.

Commenters on Justin’s video were equally baffled by the revelation. Many said they had no idea Days of Our Lives was even a real show, while others pointed out further discrepancies between the sitcom and real life.

One person said: “Not me thinking Days of Our Lives was a made up show for Friends.”

Another added: “Wait, Days of Our Lives is a real show?”

With the first storm of the season set to hit the UK in the coming weeks, we”ve found an affordable and simple way to reinforce and repair your fence if it gets damaged in the rough weather

Ahead of the first storm of the winter months, Amazon has slashed the price of an “extremely sturdy and hard-wearing” fence repair kit.

The Anmas Power Heavy Duty Steel Fence Post Repair Stakes kit has been reduced from £49.99 to £29.99, giving shoppers a massive 40% saving.

The kit, which is available in seven different sizes (with prices varying depending on kit choice), is engineered to be straightforward to use.

According to the Amazon description, users can “simply drive the ground spike into the ground using a hammer or mallet, providing a quick and hassle-free solution for repairing tilted or broken wood fence posts”.

The kit, which is crafted from “u-shaped steel”, is “suitable for various fence post sizes and types” and perfect for fixing a leaning or damaged fence post, delivering robust support to prevent tilting, reports Yorkshire Live.

Although the Anmas Power Heavy Duty Steel Fence Post Repair Stakes only have 108 reviews so far, customers have been thoroughly impressed by them.

One person said, ” My 6-foot fence nearly blew over with the strong winds a couple of months ago. I thought I would have to replace some of the fence. I bought these to try first. It took 15 minutes to fix the posts, and it feels solid. Excellent. I will probably buy a few more just to secure other posts in the future.”

A second added: “Brilliant, I spent half an hour and repaired a 35-year-old fence. I think it’s stronger now than when I built it.”

Meanwhile, one chuffed customer raved: “I was sceptical at first, but am so pleased I bought these. I thought the posts were past redemption, but I reckon we’ll get another 15 years out of them! Extremely sturdy and hard wearing.”

While most punters were thrilled with their purchase, a few had minor gripes. One such buyer pointed out: “The fence post repair kit arrived without the drill bit and driver bit for installation.”

Another person chimed in: “Very easy to use, just need a big hammer.”

Plane passengers saw a man standing in the aisle of a Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Malta, and when people finally realised who it was they started to praise him for flying budget

Passengers on a Ryanair flight were left baffled when they spotted a famous face in the aisle. The man who had caught their attention was none other than Vybz Kartel, 49, the Jamaican dancehall artist also known as the King of Dancehall.

Vybz, along with his fiancée Sidem Öztürk, 32, were seen on the budget airline, much to the surprise of fellow passengers. The down-to-earth star was even seen stowing his own luggage in the overhead locker before taking time to chat and pose for photos with fans on the plane. Despite being able to afford a private jet, as many of his fans pointed out, Vybz chose to fly with Ryanair, fully aware that he would be recognised by his fans and followers.

The artist is enjoying a successful year, having recently won the Impact Award at the MOBO Awards and making his first UK performance in two decades at the Wireless Festival, where he was brought on stage by Drake.

His decision to fly budget has been met with praise from fans, who believe he makes these public appearances “for the fans”.

An Instagram post by @theshadeborough read: “Talk about soul plane! #VybzKartel made these passengers’ journey after he was seen on a Ryanair flight”.

Fans were quick to commend him for his choice, with one man commenting: “He’s doing it for the fans. He can actually afford to take a private jet”.

“Imagine going to Malta to see Vybz and he’s just on your flight,” one fan excitedly shared.

Others praised him as “humble,” jesting that the “whole flight was about to be a concert”.

“Simplicity is key, save your money,” another person advised, commending Vybz for his choice of budget travel.

Some even quipped that it was “Ryanair’s biggest achievement” to have the superstar onboard one of their flights.

A woman revealed that fans barely “gave him a second” to catch his breath on the flight before they swarmed him for selfies.

However, the dancehall sensation seemed to relish the attention, as did his fiancée, both appearing delighted to engage with their adoring fans.

“Since when does Ryanair have business class seats?” a man jested, implying that the star should be living luxuriously rather than opting for budget seating.
