Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans was 'hauled over the coals' and issued a final warning by bosses after he was caught making a vile sexual jibe about one of the show's female hosts. The BBC faces calls to take further action against the opera singer-turned-presenter, who was welcomed back on the Strictly tour yesterday and will front a new BBC1 travel series tonight. Evans was recorded crudely suggesting a three-way sex session with It Takes Two presenter and professional dancer Janette Manrara , using the demeaning term 'spit roast' during a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour.

I've always enjoyed the festive season; mind you, every season tended to be festive for me, as before I was an invalid (just look at that word!) I was a wild one. But I didn't enjoy this one because last month, on Friday the 13th, I was taken to A&E in an ambulance and whisked into surgery for an emergency operation on an epidural abscess. Had I not finally caved in and admitted I wasn't tough enough to never, ever need medical attention, I would probably have lived for no longer than 48 hours.

Gisele Pelicot (left) appeared as the main prosecution witness against Dominique Pelicot (inset). The Frenchman was accused of drugging his wife for almost 10 years, and then allowing scores of men he met online to defile her. But, by the time a jury in Avignon, in the south of France, found him guilty of aggravated rape last month, a deep rift had developed in the family. Pelicot's only daughter, Caroline Darian, 46, (right) insists she too was drugged and attacked by her father, but no evidence has ever emerged to support this claim. She is angry that her mother has not supported her in her own criminal complaints.

Rory Talbot, 30, of Wandsworth, was charged on Saturday with the murder of his father Mark Talbot. Rory is remanded in custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Despite their best efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

It's been a minute since the BBC was accused of banning their raunchy music video from Top Of The Pops. But while the long-running show is no more, the band in question are still performing and remain as provocative as ever - as footage of recent reunion shows in Minsk and St. Petersburg confirm. The Russian girl-group gained notoriety in the late nineties and early 2000s with their first English language single and, more pertinently, an accompanying video in which they alluded to lesbianism and underage sex.

This is the moment a beachfront was left covered in sea foam as Storm Herminia powers across Britain, bringing 80mph gusts.  Forecasters tonight also warned of a new 'separate threat' that could cause equally strong winds across the south.  Maps shared on social media show an 'unnamed area of low pressure' hovering off the south-west coast.

Rachel Stallard, a private estates consultant from Bournemouth, spent 'four days and nights' in a jail cell with almost no food or water after a dispute with a client led to her being arrested and charged with 'seven of the most serious charges there are in Thailand'. Posting her ordeal on LinkedIn, Ms Stallard claimed she flew to the country to collect wages for the company after the client took £30,000 worth of service and then stopped responding. Upon her arrival, Ms Stallard claimed her 'millionaire client' became 'irritated' she had approached him for the money even though all the work had been completed. The consultant said she was then thrown in a Thai prison cell with no food or water - forced to bribe a police guard to give her scraps.

After 21 years of being 'happily unmarried', Kirstie Allsopp and her limelight-shunning boyfriend have finally tied the knot.  Last week, the couple  - who share Bay, 18, and Oscar, 16 - married in a romantic ceremony at the Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair, which was the setting for Love Actually's wedding scene back in 2003. However, the setting also has an emotional connections for the bride and was where a memorial service for her beloved father, former Christie's chairman Charles Allsopp, 6th Baron Hindlip, was held last June. In a bid to keep their nuptials under wraps, the newlyweds reportedly kept the wedding secret from their 70 guests until the very last minute and told them they were celebrating Ben's 64th birthday. And while it may well have raised eyebrows among loved ones, this unique approach to wedding planning is very much in character for the fiercely-private couple - whose love story has been anything but conventional.

Britain is being pummelled by 80mph gales and torrential rain as people are told 'do not travel' as roads and railways are closed in the aftermath of Storm Eowyn.

Robbers entered the Drents Museum in Assen, a small city in the northeast Netherlands, early Saturday morning after forcing the door open with explosives. They snatched several 'archaeological masterpieces' from the facility, including the golden helmet of Cotofenesti and three bracelets traced back to ancient Romanian royalty. Police received reports of a nearby car fire roughly 30 minutes after the explosion, which they believe could be connected to the heist. Officers have not yet arrested any suspects in connection to the case, but say they are focused on 'tracking down both the suspects and the stolen masterpieces'.

The royals have long called each other by nicknames privately, and the affectionate dubbing was reportedly a way for Charles, 76, to welcome Meghan, 43, into the family. She was used to using nicknames already. Meghan wasn't even her real first name after all, it was actually Rachel, but she more commonly used her middle name - going by Meg. Katie Nicholl revealed further light on the origin of the nickname in her 2022 book The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth's Legacy and the Future of the Crown. She claims that Charles gave Meghan the nickname when she began her life as a working royal after allegedly seeing she was 'resilient' and able to hold her own in front of the public. Nicholl also noted that the meaning behind the nickname was evident in Meghan's first joint appearance in February 2018 alongside Harry, William, and Kate during an event for the Royal Foundation Forum. She wrote Meghan was the 'breakout star' of the foursome and came across as 'polished, passionate, and funny' while using all her TV-honed skills to present her case.

'Fulfilling the dream shouldn't become a nightmare for you. No one will know where I've disappeared to'.

A couple who are constantly mistaken for mother and son have revealed they are expecting triplets through IVF. Lauren Evans 31, and her wife, Hannah, 29, were mercilessly mocked when they announced their marriage on social media last year - with viewers branding the mother-to-be a 'paedophile' despite having just two year age gap. Now, the couple have revealed the new that they are expecting three children after having IVF in Cyprus. The Surrey-based newlyweds knew they wanted to start a family but were shocked after being quoted £21,000 for fertility treatment in the UK.

The first few months of the year may be dark, cold and cash-strapped, but for those of us who are natural Trouser Women, it's a time to show off. It's now trouser season all the way to March - no-one is wearing skirts - and the only game in town is how to wear them better. I for one could not be happier. I love trousers and never has there been a better time to indulge the Trouser Woman's fantasies - whether it's swooshy denim flares or serious Oxford bags, last seen on Katharine Hepburn in the 1940s.

Charles, 76, greeted members of the public outside the church in Flitcham, on 26 January as the King smiled and waved at onlookers while posing for photographs.

'Look - here's a human spine. That's an ISIS spine.' These absurd sentences reverberated in my brain as I turned to find my Kurdish guide holding out a collection of bones he'd unearthed from the rubble for me to inspect... before crushing a piece of skull underfoot. This surreal moment unfolded last week amid the ruins of Kobani, a city in the autonomous Kurdish region of Rojava, northeast Syria, where I travelled to see firsthand the fallout of the fight against Islamic State. Ten years ago, this shattered landscape was the stage for one of the most brutal and consequential urban battles in modern history as ISIS exploited the chaos of Syria's civil war to expand its caliphate like a lethal plague. This weekend, Kobani's people gather to commemorate the 10th anniversary of their historic triumph over the jihadists. Yet the celebrations will be laced with anxiety, because now Kobani faces another existential threat.

With luxury living spaces, gorgeous bedrooms and professional chef-approved kitchens, these enviable properties across the UK are enough to lure any buyer. But these plush homes aren't found in glossy apartment buildings or picturesque cottages - instead they're concealed within the houseboats, barges and yachts that line the country's rivers and canals. They're becoming increasingly popular with buyers thanks to the 'unique way of living' and 'strong sense of community', explained Nigel Day, co-founder and director of RiverHomes, to FEMAIL.

It was once a shining beacon of the British high street that served as a one-stop shop for stationery, newspapers, records and literature. But in recent years, WH Smith has tarnished the gleaming reputation it build up in the 1960s-1980s with its near-constant clearance sales and 'overpriced rubbish'. And now, after struggling to keep up with changing consumer habits for the past 15 years, the once beloved chain is at risk of disappearing from the UK entirely. In a statement yesterday, the British retailer - which was founded in 1792 in London - confirmed that it is in talks to potentially sell its 520 high street stores. The news hasn't been met with much surprise from former customers - who complained how their local stores, which were once famed for their carefully curated selection of upmarket stationery, have looked more like a 'dump' for many years.

Pamela Anderson scored a high fashion FROW position with Anna Wintour at Jacquemus men's Paris Fashion Week show on Sunday afternoon.   The actress, 57, and the fashion icon, 75, posed for a slightly awkward picture together with one seat separating them - as Pamela kept a neutral expression. It comes after last year Pamela made comments about Vogue media executive Anna after she was invited to the prestigious Met Gala for the first time.

Footage captured the moment a man was attacked on his own driveway for his VW Golf. Video shows the man rummaging around in his car boot when two people were seen in the background getting out of a second car. One of these was Kyle Camp, who was on a 'ruthless spree of offending', stealing several cars in one night. He and his group had approached several victims over a period of weeks, threatening them with violence if they didn't hand over their car keys, often armed with knives or tools. In the video, Camp and an accomplice ran towards a car owner as he shut the boot and they lunged for his keys.

In an embarrassment for Vladimir Putin , Ukraine struck the Ryazan oil refinery for a second time in 48 hours after Russia's air defences failed, triggering new problems for supplies of fuel to Moscow and the Russian army. Residents heard as many as 15 explosions in as many minutes in the area of the refinery, which is 112 miles southeast of Moscow and crucial to Russian oil exports. Eight drones were downed over the Ryazan region, six drones were destroyed in the Kursk region and one drone was hit over the Belgorod region overnight. The latest strikes come as Donald Trump is putting pressure on Putin to agree to talks aimed at halting the fighting and ending the debilitating war, which the US president has branded 'ridiculous'.
