In case your child needs a clean top, you can always have a second pair of pure cotton school jumpers in your possession.

These sweaters are made using Marks & Spencer’s pure cotton. These jumpers promise extra comfort as well as the retailer’s StayNEW technology, which reduces bobbling and colour loss, meaning the clothes stay looking new and bright for as long as possible.

Safe to machine wash, use in the tumble dryer, and iron-friendly, these are a must-have for any kids going back to school this September. The 2-pack comes with a budget-friendly price tag of £11.

Parents can’t stop gushing these jumpers’ praises, with over 700 5-star reviews. One customer exclaims, “Nice school attire. Excellent fit, excellent quality, and would suggest.

This customer adorns these soft, supple jumpers, saying, “Great jumpers that are soft, hold their shape, and color. These are true to size.

A third M&S shopper chimes in: “Very good school jumper – my son prefers the knitted fabric to sweatshirt material because it is easier to get on and off. He 11 yrs old about 5ft and of a stocky build – I buy him a size 13-14 for a perfect fit around the middle.”

One buyer expressed their unfavorable impressions, saying, “True to size but thin and will need to but another for the winter.”

However, as more 5-star ratings are released, the overall response is positive. This customer claims to have “ideal school jumpers,” which are soft to wear under a school blazer, and of good quality.

Another raves, “I bought these jumpers for my granddaughter. She claims that she is completely comfortable with her school blazer because she loves them. They are excellent value for money and have been well washed. Excellent service as always.

Hollyoaks star first to be killed off soap has very different job 30 years after tragic exit

Shebah Ronay was the first Hollyoaks poster girl, but her role on the Channel 4 soap tragically ended with Natasha Andersen.

Former Hollyoaks star Shebah Ronay, who portrayed the legendary Natasha Andersen, has embarked on a striking career transformation three decades after the soap launched.

Natasha served as Hollyoaks’ original pin-up – alluring, spirited and tragically, the first main character to meet her demise in a shocking death plot.

Her devastating end unfolded in March 1996 when she suffered a fatal overdose after her beverage was laced with ecstasy during a house party. She later collapsed and died in hospital leaving fans of the Channel 4 soap in shock.

Shebah, now 53, first appeared on television as Natasha on October 23, 1995, the day the television program first aired. However, her character’s passing was made public in January 1996.

The sequence was branded a “sensational scene in an attempt to boost ratings” at the time, crafted to elevate viewing figures and provide a sharp departure from the “softer stories about teen romances and spots”, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Producers created a compelling narrative centered on Natasha’s drug-induced death during the first year of Hollyoaks, which faced criticism for its lack of socially conscious plot points.

This plot attracted significant media attention and marked a turning point for the program as it began to address contentious issues.

Looking back on Natasha’s departure, series creator Phil Redmond commented: “Natasha’s death depicts the stark reality of unnecessary death coming very close to one group of friendly and fun-loving people for the first time in their lives and how this is bound to change their outlook in many ways”, reports the Mirror.

Shebah left the acting world after she left the show. Before turning her attention to modeling, presenting, and journalism, she made a short film called The Things We Do For Love.

Before moving on to the glamorous Wedding Day magazine, the soap star worked for the weekly newspaper News of the World for a while as a film columnist.

Giorgio Armani, 91, is a well-known Italian designer who died last year in a candid interview about having a crush on another person.

The young Giorgio’s relationship with a supervisor was a significant turning point at summer camp, even though he had already lost his virginity to a girl. His “life took a different turn” from that point forward.

Giorgio, who was born in the northern Italian town of Piacenza, had hopes of becoming a doctor when he was younger, but it turned out that life had other plans. Although he was a relatively private individual, he did occasionally offer insight into how he ended up treading his own special and glittering path. He lived a truly extraordinary life, filled with glamour, creativity, and renown.

Giorgio said, “I’ve never talked about this in a 2024 interview with Corriere della Sera. At five in the afternoon, when all the camp boys were supposed to have a little quiet time, it happened underneath a shed on the beach at Misano.

He continued, “I was in a group of boys, and there was a young man who I immediately attracted to as a supervisor.” At the time, I didn’t pursue it because I didn’t fully understand it. But right away, my life changed.

At the time, I didn’t distinguish between men and women. I was simply drawn in by his presence, something beautiful, and I couldn’t wait to touch him. I still have a very emotional memory of this.

The billionaire would later go on to become one of the richest and most prominient LBGTQ+ businessmen in the world, and his loss has been deeply felt within the fashion community.

The Armani Group announces the passing of its founder, founder, and tireless driving force, Giorgio Armani, with “unending sorrow.” Il Signor Armani passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones, as he was always greeted with respect and admiration by employees and collaborators. He dedicated himself to the company, the collections, and the numerous ongoing and pending projects up until his final days, enduring his incomparable dedication to the end.

He “established a dialog with the public throughout this journey, becoming a beloved and admired figure through his ability to make connections with everyone.” He has been active on numerous fronts, especially in support of his beloved Milan, always taking into account the needs of the community.

Olivia Attwood’s former friend, former assistant/stylist Ryan Kay, congratulated Molly Smith and Tom Clare on their happy engagement as he seemingly made a dig at Olivia. He is said to have completely cut Olivia from his life and is believed to have sided with Bradley Dack throughout the ongoing drama about her marriage.

And after Molly and Tom announced the incredible news of their engagement, Ryan was quick to share a screenshot of his FaceTime call with the couple. The screenshot showed Molly excitedly showing off her new ring as she sat beside her fiancé while making calls to loved ones.

Ryan wrote: “It’s safe to say I was all teared up with pure happiness for these two when they rang me with the news of their engagement.” He then cryptically added: “I couldn’t think of better suited couple.”

“I’ve always admired you both and the love you have for one another. Congratulations and … let’s go dress shopping,” Ryan said on his Stories.

His sweet post comes after Olivia vowed to share the truth following their reported fallout.Taking to her Instagram Stories, she said: “So grateful for my small circle that gets smaller the longer I am in this industry – the ones who don’t feed the press with false narratives.

“Andddd I do hate to be proven wrong especially when lots of people tried to warn you. But you live and learn I guesssssssss..

“We can chat about what’s be going on soon – I know you have questions, but just not this week because incase you haven’t noticed I’m kinda busy.”

It wasn’t confirmed who Olivia was referring to in her Instagram rant. Sources close to Ryan have told the Mirror that “there wasn’t any toxicity, betrayal or fallout between the pair” and the former friends are “simply no longer working” together.

“He has no ill will towards Olivia and has immense respect and admiration for her so there was no betrayal between them,” an insider says of Ryan’s thoughts on his former boss.

A friend close to Ryan claimed he was feeling “disgruntled” and was “gutted” to not be there throughout her This Morning journey.

“He can’t lie – it’s hurtful that she’s moved on so quickly and ditched him now she’s hit the big time,” they claimed.

However, people close to Olivia suggested his actions were behind the fallout. When Olivia first landed her gig at This Morning, he said: “I feel this post is a celebration and proud moment for the girl I can bestie – to you and your team, I can only be proud of you all for the journey and next chapter.”

In April, he even appeared on Olivia’s podcast and was introduced as her “best mate”.
