MARRIED At First Sight star Holly Ditchfield decided to quit the show tonight after struggling with her husband Alex Henry’s behaviour.

Upset Holly begged producers to ‘get her out of here’ and headed home to be with her family following a huge row.

Alex erupted during the last commitment ceremony and lashed out at a number of the girls – leaving Holly furious.

And when she tried to talk to Alex about what had happened, he rejected how she was feeling.

Speaking to Lacey about what had gone on, Holly said: “After the commitment ceremony we had a major argument because I just didn’t’ like the way you were spoken to.

“What upset the most is after, he said ‘what’s wrong with you?’ and I said ‘I’m really missing my children’ and he just said ‘f*** this, I can’t be ar*** with this’ and he just walked off.”

She continued: “I am going home today. I need to have some time to think and then I will be coming back. It’s just got really bad now. I am not myself.”

Speaking on camera, Holly added: “Me and Alex are just not getting on. I need some space, get me out of here.”

Alex’s relationship with Holly has been very up and down throughout the series but the pair were on track.

Those watching at home are pleased that Holly decided to take a break from the process.

One person commented: “You just know that even though Holly isn’t saying it – Alex has been horrid with her because if he can speak to the girls like that, imagine what it’s like behind closed doors.”

While a second said: “Holly has matured during this process – It’s a shame that Alex hasn’t.”

And a third added: “Alex should’ve been taken off the show by now, you can tell he sees any woman as below him – the disrespect is INSANE and im glad the girls are sticking up for themselves.”

Alex has been a highly controversial contestant throughout the series,  after he was been pelted with allegations from women when he first joined, with one user branding him a “dangerous individual”.

And Women’s Aid condemned his involvement in a lengthy statement, saying the decision to feature him is both “disappointing and concerning.

TARGET has promised to slash prices on merchandise a second time this holiday season.

With Halloween only days away and Black Friday not long after, shoppers nationwide are searching for the best deals.

The retail giant is answering that desire with continued reductions on more than 2,000 items, “including food and beverages, everyday essentials, holiday gifts and items to prep the home for the holidays,” per a Tuesday press release.

Customers can expect significant savings on everything they need for holiday preparations, especially Christmas.

There are also sales on everyday items needed as it gets cooler during the winter months.

Target noted that bath towels, beauty products, beverages, board games, cookies, cold medicine, cough medicine, frozen vegetables, ice cream, snacks, toilet paper, and more could feature cost reductions.

It also emphasized that the reductions are on top of its “everyday low prices,” which it routinely makes changes to depending on the market.

Discounts on over 5,000 items were previously announced in May for summer, which Target said saved shoppers “millions of dollars” this year already.

That mark was surpassed soon afterward for a total of 8,000 price cuts on merchandise in 2024.

With the additional 2,000, that brings the total to a whopping 10,000 items at Target with price reductions.

FUNDS FOR FAMILY

Rick Gomez, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Target, emphasized that the retailer’s discounts are part of its mission to help families celebrate “without compromise.”

“We know families are excited to celebrate the holidays, so Target is committed to helping them find joy without compromise — with great products across our assortment at even lower prices,” Gomez said in Tuesday’s release.

“From meal prep and gifting to everyday needs, Target’s offering the kind of exceptional value that’ll make it even easier for everyone to save money as they embrace the magic of the season.”

Parents looking to get their children some popular toys can also do so with what Target calls its “largest holiday assortment ever” this year.

Over half of the selection is under $20, with $5 and $10 options from top brands that can fit most shoppers’ budgets.

Most stores and the Target website and mobile application already have deals going on right now for toys.

The LEGO Technic 2022 Ford GT Model Car Set is only $95.99 after an original listing of $119.99.

That’s a 20% discount with savings of $24.

A Bluey Fire Truck is also $19.99, down from $24.99.

Kitchen items, pet essentials, and cold and flu relief also feature similar discounts.

While the reductions on thousands of products will likely appeal to many Americans, an ex-Target executive has warned that consumers are “running out of money” this year.

“They’re increasingly stressed by inflation and the exhaustion of their pandemic-era savings,” Gerald Storch, former Vice Chairman at Target, told Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo in a recent conversation.

Storch added that the current economic conditions could make it a “weak Christmas” for retailers like Target.

TWO credit card companies have been exposed after quietly charging $1.99 for a normal request – but there’s a trick to avoid it.

A new push to move credit card users to a digital statement will now incur a penalty for those who don’t want to comply.

But a fee of $1.99 has been rolled out if you have opted for receiving paper statements.

One big name doing so is Synchrony Bank who have co-branded and store-affiliated credit cards with over a shocking 100 cards.

These include Sam’s Club Credit Card, the Lowe’s Store Card and Amazon Store Card.

Towards the end of last year, Citibank released new guidance to customers saying that going paperless was “required” in order to “access your account on Citi.com and the Citi Mobile App”.

While there isn’t a law banning paper statements, permission is required to begin paperless billing.

Alicia Galowitsch told NBC that the charge began to add up for her and her family.

She said: “It’s very tight. It’s very tight to where we had to start going to a food bank.

“It’s going to be $11.94.”

The pair have a few credit cards and receive statements in order to keep organized.

Ms Galowitsch added: “If I’m not here, the payments are going to be late because Mark’s not going to know what to do.

“With paper statements, everything is written down for him.”

Other concerns among furious customers include not being tech-savvy enough to use online banking, and also that keeping things paperless can pose security threats.

Credit card users have taken to social media Reddit to express their anger about the fee.

One user warned: “I have the Paypal mastercard and got a letter in the mail today. Beginning in April they will start charging if you are not using electronic statements.

“It is a small fee of $2.50 but still just a heads up if anyone has any cards by them may want to check.”

Another said they were “closing [their] account” over the fee.

It comes after Visa and AmEx made subtle changes to the way you redeem rewards – and your points are losing value.

Americans have amassed millions of credit card points to be used on airplane tickets, hotels or converted to cash.

But the value of credit card points has fallen in the past few years due to inflation.

A credit card point gained through online banking was previously worth about one cent, according to the card issuers.

However, one cent has lost about 20% of its purchasing power since 2018, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

THE Cleveland Browns have signed a new quarterback after Deshaun Watson’s feared season-ending injury.

The AFC North team are having a disastrous season, and are bottom of their division with a 1-6 record.

Their woes continued in Week 7 when they were beaten by the Cincinnati Bengals, 21-14.

Their controversial QB Watson was injured towards the end of the first half of the game.

He was carted off the field, and booed by both sets of fans at his home Huntington Bank Field.

The 29-year-old ruptured his right Achilles, and will miss the rest of the 2024-25 NFL season.

This is despite him being on a mega $230 million contract.

The Browns have now signed up a new quarterback as cover for him.

They have taken Bailey Zappe off the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad to bolster their options.

It is not known where he will be in the starting order ahead of their Week 8 clash against the Baltimore Ravens.

But Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Jameis Winston are the two leading options.

However, Thompson-Robinson is suffering from a finger injury.

If he does not play on Sunday against the Ravens, Winston will start.

Zappe is then expected to be his back-up.

The 25-year-old was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth round in 2022.

He started in eight games in two seasons under head coach Bill Belichick.

However, he threw 12 interceptions, which was more than his eleven touchdowns.

Zappe showed brief flashes of success at the Patriots, but could never secure his starting spot.

The Pats drafted Drake Maye in the quarterback position in the 2024 NFL Draft.

And new head coach Jerod Mayo decided to release Zappe over the summer.

He ended up at the Chiefs, fighting for a space on their practice squad.

Patrick Mahomes and Carson Wentz were both the active quarterbacks on the roster.
