After struggling with a single task, Vernon Kay has opened up about “grief” at home in an on-air rant.
The TV star vented his frustration with printers and the ongoing problems they cause at home on his BBC Radio 2 midday show.
He said: “From experience in our house, it’s the only piece of modern technology, and I’m including the kettle and the toaster and the fryer, it’s the one piece that causes you the most grief. They’re a nightmare printers, they really are. We’ve got one, I went for the basic [one] where you’re online and you can allegedly print from your Wi-Fi… doesn’t work.
“If you email it, [it] doesn’t work. Paper jam, still exists. How in 2024 is a paper jam still a thing? ! Be honest and we must resume some sort of technology program. ‘Don’t use this, it’s garbage, get this one’. You know what I mean? Be clear about the difficulties of technology. “
Vernon also recalled his shopping experience, saying: “When I went and bought it there were so many printers on offer, they did so many things. It’s like, ‘Listen, all I need to do is to help my kids print off their homework, that’s all it is, I don’t want this, that and the other’. “

After receiving a flood of messages from listeners sharing their own printer horror stories, Vernon added: “Oh, they’re a nightmare. I’m glad I’m not the only one though because it causes a lot of stress on a Sunday, because that’s when we do the majority of homework… my work. “
When a fan shared their frustration over printer woes, leaving them in tears, he sympathised: “I feel you, it’s a nightmare, it’s so difficult. “
With his wife Tess Daly and their two daughters, Vernon shares a six-bedroom Buckinghamshire home. Phoebe, 20, and Amber, 15. On his radio program, which recently included a humorous confession, the devoted father and son frequently share snippets of their family life.

The 50-year-old presenter playfully berated his family for not letting him fulfil his dream of having ‘a chickenarium’ at their home.
He revealed: “It’s funny isn’t it, when your kids ask, ‘Can we have a hamster, can we a goldfish, can we have a gerbil? ‘. You’re like, ‘Yeah, no problem as long as you look after it, you’ll be fine’. “
“But when I want a chicken, not a chance, it’s not fair! They’ve got ponies and all sorts. But, I want a chicken, and I can’t have a chicken. Going down to the garden, pulling the eggs out, and saying, “Look what we’ve got,” has a romantic quality. “
“I’ve been desperate for a chickenarium, but they won’t let me have one. “
Determined to have his way, he added: “Right, when I go home tonight, I’m going to tell the gang that we’re having a chickenarium. And they’ll go, ‘What’s one of them? ‘, and I’ll be like, ‘Just you wait and see’. “
Experts share a devastating find about Liam Payne’s final moments in a toxicology report that has revealed more about his final moments.
The One Direction singer slammed from a balcony at the Buenos Aires, Argentine, hotel on October 16 to pass away.
The judge in the case is currently considering charges against two hotel employees, including the receptionist head, who called emergency services after becoming concerned about the popstar’s behavior.
In addition to this, three other people are expected to be detained this month, including two people who are accused of using Liam drugs to serve a person and another who is accused of abandoning a person after being put to death.
On November 7, a report from the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office determined that traces of “alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants” had been found in Liam’s system. Additionally, officials stated that “he did not know what he was doing and could not understand it,” and that suicide was against the law.

The singer wouldn’t have known what he was doing and couldn’t comprehend it, according to officials who ruled out suicide (Getty Images).
According to the report, the father-of-one, whose tragic death has been linked to a substance-induced “psychotic episode”, “did not adopt a reflexive posture to protect himself in the fall, so that, for the moment, it can be inferred that he may have fallen in a state of semi- or total unconsciousness”.
Therefore, it was determined that at the time of his fall, Liam wasn’t fully conscious or was “in a state of discernible decline or abolition of consciousness” in any way. According to the investigators, “for the prosecution, this circumstance would also rule out the possibility of a victim performing a conscious or voluntary act because he did not know what he was doing and could not comprehend it.”
The judge is now considering charges against two workers, including the receptionist head, who called two 911 calls at the time of Liam’s death and who still work at the CasaSur, according to new documents obtained by Rolling Stone.
As the investigation progresses, the judge has now asked all suspects to answer questions. A new filing made Monday, December 9, lists the CasaSur Palermo employees as “imputados”, or “people charged”, with the document requesting that they be notified. However, the accusations they face have not been specified.
Two hotel employees are reportedly being charged (Supplied) right now.
The second hotel employee has been appointed as the head of security, according to respected Argentinian news website Infobae. Additionally, the publication reported that investigating judge Laura Bruniard had instructed the two men to designate a defense attorney so that she could formally question them under the oath. Bruniard is now leading the investigation after prosecutors successfully appealed her decision to withdraw from the inquiry due to a technicality.
The hotel employees will show up in court on December 19 at 10 and 11 a.m. The notice states that “we request that the following individuals provide a statement because there is sufficient evidence that they have participated in the investigated act.”
According to the Buenos Aires system, after the interrogation, the judge must determine whether the defendants should be further prosecuted, dropped from the case, or if there isn’t evidentiary support for either decision.
(James Breeden for the Mirror) Surveillance footage from the day of Liam’s death shows him appearing to be drunk and causing a disturbance in the hotel lobby.
Before staff arrived, Liam appeared appearibly drunk and caused a disturbance in the hotel lobby on the day of his death. The singer reportedly resisted being locked in his room, telling staff he would use the balcony to get away from confinement.
Emergency services were called a few minutes later after employees allegedly called a master key to lock Liam’s room. Explaining that the 1D star was in a room with a balcony, the employee expressed concerns that he might try to flee, stating: “I don’t know whether his life may be in danger. He is in a room with a balcony, and, well, we’re a little afraid”.
Shortly before Liam’s fatal fall, a trio of men were pictured transporting him to his room by the caller. The staff’s behavior and their decision to not leave Liam in the lobby while they waited for assistance both caused concern with this image.
Once Liam was left alone in his room, he apparently attempted to escape via the balcony, with terrible consequences. A bag still resting over Liam’s shoulder, which was discovered in an internal courtyard, was discovered underneath his body, which suggested he might have been leaving his suite. When the singer was moved from the lobby to his room, the bag was missing.
An autopsy ruled that Liam died instantly, having suffered “multiple traumatic injuries” following his fall, which subsequently led to “internal and external haemorrhage”.

After three weeks in the jungle, Coleen Rooney was announced as the runner up in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! It was no surprise that Coleen couldn’t wait to get glammed up for the series’ wrap party with her fellow campmates after spending so much time covered in fish guts and wearing the same T-shirt and shorts.
For the occasion, Coleen looked effortlessly chic in a matching two-piece set, and we’ve managed to track down exactly where to buy her outfit. The Ultimate Muse Halter Top and a matching Ultimate Muse Midi Skirt are included in the co-ord, which is from Odd Muse.
READ MORE: Coleen Rooney shows off £160 personalised necklace ahead of I’m a Celeb – and we found one £100 cheaper
I’m a Celeb necklace, by GK Barry, is included in her new jewelry line that was launched while in the jungle.
The top has been reduced from £55 to £33, while the midi skirt has been reduced to £51, an increase from £85, making both pieces now available for purchase in the Odd Muse December sale. With both pieces being under 40%, Coleen’s top-toe look is almost half as much as its tailor-made style, which is ideal for upcoming parties.
The halterneck top has a square neckline and a curved hem, but Coleen chose to tuck the top in rather than to leave it perched over the skirt waistband, giving it a flattering, structured fit. The midi skirt has a classic pencil silhouette with a cinched waistband and front split for easy access.

The co-ord can also be paired with other items in your wardrobe for the most outfit-changing options, making it ideal for creating a timeless, classic look. In the summer, pair the halterneck top with anything from jeans to a floaty maxi skirt, and work in style with a white shirt and heels.
If you’re not a fan of the pastel yellow shade, you can also pick up the Odd Muse co-ord in black, taupe and grey, with the neutral colours offering a slightly safer, easier-to-style option in your wardrobe.
For a different splash of colour, we’re also loving this tailored co-ord from Very, which comes in the colour of the season, burgundy. The price of the matching Tailored Trousers is now reduced from £48 to £39 for the Strapless Waistcoat, while the price drops from £55.
The deep red color is ideal for winter and the fall, and it’s also suitable for a festive color scheme. It can be dressed up or down for various occasions. The trousers also provide some extra warmth and protection, which is ideal for the current cold.
Since his traumatic skiing accident, Michael Schumacher’s health has been a mystery.
The 55-year-old former racing driver hasn’t been seen in public since the tragedy more than ten years ago, and according to reports, he spends his days in a home hospital setting receiving round-the-clock care. His family have remained tight-lipped about his condition, with his devoted wife, Corinna Schumacher, said to exercise extreme caution with only trusted visitors.
As his ex-bodyguard’s ongoing blackmail investigation is brought to court, the family is reportedly fighting to keep details of his health a secret. Markus Fritsche, who worked with Schumacher until about 2021, is accused of aiding and abetting blackmail of the family, allegedly using hundreds of private photos, videos and the driver’s medical notes.
He has now appeared in court in Germany alongside Yilmaz Tozturkan, a bouncer, and his son, Daniel Lins, an IT expert, over the alleged extortion plot. Tozturkan is accused of ‘ threatening ‘ to release family photos on the dark web unless they paid up £12, 000, 000 (€15, 000, 000).

German newspaper Bild reports that Corinna has applied for the case to be heard privately, allowing the general public to not be present at the hearing if her husband’s health is discussed. According to MailOnline, Fritzsche allegedly told Tozturkan over coffee that he was “in possession of this material” and that he had asked if we could use it for anything.
Following reports that he had attended Gina-Maria’s wedding and her husband Iain Bethke’s wedding earlier this year, it was believed the star’s ring of protection relaxed. The 27-year-old equestrian star, who has followed in her dad’s athletic footsteps, tied the knot at the family’s £27million Majorcan villa on September 28.
Schumacher was reportedly present at the ceremony, according to reports from Germany, but strict regulations still remained. According to reports, wedding guests were instructed to leave their phones at the door so that Michael wouldn’t be spotted.
However, the claims were disputed by the seven-time world champion’s close friend. Johnny Herbert, the ex-Formula 1 star and Le Mans winner, dissected the reports and labeled the suggestions “fake news.” He told Flashscore: “It will always be a closed shop. The most recent rumour was he attended his daughter’s wedding. Unfortunately, from what I understand that was all A1 fake news and no truth in it”.
Due to the alleged condition Schumacher is in, neurosurgeon Jussi Posti previously disputed the claims as highly unlikely. According to Posti, Schumacher’s rumored condition would put a lot of strain on his attendance, despite the fact that he has previously been flown from their Mallorcan villa.
If a hospital has been constructed in his house and everything is being treated there, Posti told Iltalehti: “It seems like he has been in hospital most of the time.” “Based on the information available, I don’t think he leads a very active life. He appears to be in good health, in every way. Most people who have been bedridden become so frail and stiff after a long period of time that it is impossible to get them out of bed.
Only a few close friends and family members are permitted to visit him (Formula 1 / Netflix), and his family has closed ranks around him.
Michael crashed while skiing in the French Alps in 2013 and hit his head against a rock, forever changing the lives of the Schumachers. His helmet took most of the impact, but his brain injury was still severe, and after undergoing two life-saving operations, the sporting legend spent months in a medically induced coma. Although a few updates were provided, Michael’s family made every effort to keep the details of his condition out of the public’s view right from the beginning.
It was immediately established that Michael was in critical condition and fighting for his life. The family’s claim that Michael had “seen moments of consciousness and awakening” wasn’t made until April 2014 wasn’t made public. It was discovered that Michael had been moved to a rehabilitation facility after leaving the coma the following summer.
By September 2014, Michael was back at his family home in Lake Geneva, where Corinna and a team of doctors were taking him around the clock. Corinna has strictly adhered to strict rules, allowing only a select few trusted friends and family members to visit him, despite her dedicated efforts to safeguarding her husband’s dignity. Meanwhile, it’s understood only a handful of people know the details of Michael’s condition and care.

Fans’ rare insight into Michael’s condition came late in 2014 when a close friend and former racing driver, Philippe Streiff, revealed that he was paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Philippe, who also uses a wheelchair after a racing accident, shared: “He is getting better but everything is relative. It’s very difficult. He can’t speak. Like me, he is in a wheelchair paralysed. He has memory problems and speech problems”.
Meanwhile, ex-Ferrari boss Jean Todt previously spoke of Corinna’s incredible determination in caring for her beloved husband but said that his miraculous survival had ‘ consequences’. Since Michael’s serious skiing accident on December 29, 2013, he told Bild, “I’ve spent a lot of time with Corinna.” She is a wonderful mother who is in charge of the household. She hadn’t expected that. She had no other options but to react quickly. But she does it skillfully. I trust her, she trusts me. Thanks to the work of his doctors and the cooperation of Corinna, who wanted him to survive, he survived – but with consequences”.
In September 2020, it was reported that Michael had been spending more time in Majorca, where Gina’s wedding took place. Additionally, more troubling details about his condition’s reality surfaced. At the time, Elisabetta Gregoraci, the ex-wife of former F1 team boss Flavio Briarote, told Spanish press: “Michael doesn’t speak, he communicates with his eyes. I am aware of the identities of three visitors who are the only ones who can see him. Elisabetta claimed in additional comments on the Italian version of Big Brother that her husband had moved to Spain and that house had been built.

In the 2021 Netflix documentary SCHUMACHER, Corinna emphasised the importance of protecting her husband’s privacy, stating: “We’re trying to carry on as a family, the way Michael liked it and still does. And we’re continuing our lives. I think it’s very important for him to be able to enjoy his private life the most. Michael always protected us, and now we are protecting Michael”.
Unfortunately, this commitment was threatened over the summer when it became known that a father and son allegedly threatened to release sensitive information about the F1 legend in the wake of the crash.
Despite the heartbreaking difficulties they’ve endured, the family have stayed resilient, sharing sweet tributes to Michael, and remembering joyful memories. Back in January, Michael’s children Mick and Gina took to social media to mark their dad’s birthday with childhood photographs. Mick wrote: “Happy birthday to the best dad ever. Love you. Captioning her own nostalgic post, Gina said:” Happy Birthday Papa! Throwback to one of many of our adventures. “
Unfortunately, despite this display, it’s said that some family connections have become strained. Ralf, Michael’s younger brother, expressed his heartache in November of last year when Corinna and Michael lost contact due to the horrifying accident.
Speaking with German magazine Bunte, Ralf, who also enjoyed an impressive racing career, shared:” When I see his children Gina-Maria and Mick, my heart smiles. If someone in the family is looking for my advice, I’m there. They go their own way. “
He continued:” I miss the Michael of the old days. Sometimes life gets unfair. Michael had a very good life throughout. But then there was this tragic accident. Michael wasn’t only my brother. When we were kids, he was also my coach and mentor. He literally taught me everything about kart racing.
However, Ralph, 49, was in attendance at his niece’s wedding despite being previously estranged. Fast ten years after his divorce from Cora, a former Playboy model, in 2015, Ralph officially declared himself gay in July. Rumors have suggested that the Schumachers had concerns about Cora’s “potentially indiscreet” but that Ralf and his new partner Etienne, who both had been invited, are unfounded.
Paris Fury, 35, showed that having a meal out at Morrison’s cafe isn’t everything.
The wife of boxing legend Tyson Fury claimed on social media that the couple and the children had a low-cost sit-down meal at the local supermarket. The scampi and chips cost only £7, according to Paris herself. One of the seven she and Tyson, 36, would have eaten for free with Paris’ adult meal, and one of the kids’ meals at Morrisons Cafe is even less expensive, priced at £3.95.
Despite Paris ‘ modest lunch choice, Tyson’s net worth stands at an eye-watering £40 million, according to TalkSport. Usually, the family has no problem splashing the cash, as proved by Paris ‘ recent 35th birthday party last week. Paris had a lavish reception at Champneys Spa, a Georgian estate, for her big day. The Loose Women actress had freshly curled hair and a golden dress that she wore as she glowed while sipping champagne while dancing to the music. A personalized cake and goodie bags were displayed throughout the entire venue, which was decorated in pink.

After talking about the heartbreaking loss of a baby in May, just months after giving birth to Rico, Paris looked happy and healthy in her birthday snaps. Paris bravely opened up about her experience, revealing she’d had three miscarriages.
The author revealed to the Mirror: “I was alone at the time. I had my 12-week scan, and Taylor was in Saudi Arabia getting ready for his fight. I just went in for a gender scan because everything was alright.
I just got a friend to watch the kids, and I thought I’d come down and find out what it is, and Tyson would know when I went over to Saudi, obviously having had several pregnancies.
Paris described how she anticipated seeing the flutter of a tiny heartbeat on the ultrasound screen as she sat on the bed for her scan in a dimly lit room. She said:” I knew there was a problem. I didn’t know, my head was sort of telling me, actually, no, you’re wrong… but I was looking at screen, thinking, ‘ Why is that not flickering? ‘ “
She added:” The sonographer said to me, ‘ I’m really sorry, Paris, there’s no heartbeat. I jumped up, started to cry, and said, ‘ No, hold on, hold on. No, no, wait, ‘ and went all frantic. “In shock and disbelief, Paris, who lives in Morecambe, Lancs, made the sonographer scan her again.
She was booked into her neighborhood Lancaster Hospital the following day despite being unable to confirm the terrible news. Paris recalls leaving the building in a commotion of tears. She added:” I thought, ‘ I can’t go home to the kids and be crying and hysterical like this. ‘ “
Instead she went to a friend for comfort. Speaking about her previous losses, Paris said:” I’ve had three miscarriages. I lost one in the first trimester, and two in the second trimester, two that I’ve had to deliver. We’ve buried two baby boys. “
