The days are getting chilly and you might need to wrap up warmer before leaving the house or the school run will be that little bit more uncomfortable. But just because you need to layer up, doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style as chunky knits are very much in style this season. RELATED: […]

THEIR bumpy road to love has made compelling TV across two series of TOWIE.
Now it seems that the romance between Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar is finally over for good, just months after they’d rekindled their relationship in Cyrus.
But towards the end of last night’s episode, it seems that all the signs of their split are there, as Dan refuses to acknowledge Ella as his girlfriend.
Enjoying a drink with friends James “Diags” Bennewith, who is in a relationship with Jodie Wells, raises a toast to ‘girlfriends’ to which Dan noticeably hesitates and says, “To our what?”
Diags laughs and says, “Just me.” Then Ella says, “I am your girlfriend.” And Dan replies: “He’s winding us up.”
Then Saffron Lempriere comes over the join the table and asks the question directly saying:
“This is looking more intense. label yet?” To which Dan replies: “Its only been a couple of weeks, she wasn’t answering the phone a couple of weeks ago.”
Then in a preview of the next episode, the pair are seen at a roller skating event, where Ella confronts claims that he’s been unfaithful. She says:
“If I am a home and I hear that you’ve been with other girls then I will not be there when you get back.”
Now a source has confirmed to Closer that Dan has indeed got cold feet and their romance is off. “After a steamy romance which started in Bali earlier this year, the pair have decided to call time on the love affair.”
Last month The Sun revealed the Towie Christmas special will return this year, two years after being axed.
And it’s likely the fall-out from Dan and Ella’s latest split will play out during the movie-length episode.
It was recently confirmed Dan will take part in the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice and the insider added Ella has gone in a very different direction.
They said: “Dan is set to focus on Dancing On Ice, whilst Ella has jetted off to Dubai for a month before filming starts for the Towie Christmas special.
“There isn’t any bad blood between the pair and it was fun while it lasted, but a long term relationship was sadly not on the cards.”
Earlier this month Ella sparked fears she and Dan had split with a cryptic post on social media.
It read: “The thing about me is I get happier, funnier and hotter every time I choose peace over someone else’s nonsense.”
THIS map reveals the spate of urgent flood warnings currently in place across the UK following Sunday’s stormy weather.
Storm Ashley battered parts of the UK yesterday, causing rivers to burst their banks and paths to collapse.
Many streets were even left underwater as a result of overflowing rivers and high tides.
New Road cricket ground in Worcester was even left completely submerged following the flooding.
While more than 100 flood warnings were still in place across the UK this morning, the number has since fallen.
As of 4:30pm this afternoon, just 10 remained across England along with 57 flood alerts.
The map shows the majority of the most severe flood warnings in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, while one still remains on the Essex coast.
The Met Office and Environment Agency warned that localised river flooding impacts are possible from today until Friday along parts of the River Severn.
They also added that localised coastal and tidal flooding impacts are possible today and tomorrow along parts of the Essex coast.
Land, roads and some properties may flood and there could be travel disruption.
A spate of flood alerts are also in place across much of southern England where flooding is possible.
However, the alerts also extend as far north as the Lake District.
A yellow weather alert for wind, issued by the Met Office, was in place until 9am on Monday morning across the north and east of Scotland and northeast.
The notice warned travellers to brace for potential power cuts and longer journey times.
Storm Ashley, the first named storm of the season, also led to multiple sports fixtures being cancelled and postponed.
Several roads in the north of England, including the A66 between County Durham and the M6 at Cumbria were reopened early Monday morning after being closed due to strong winds.
Tens of thousands of homes remained without power on Sunday night after Storm Ashley swept across the island of Ireland.
Dublin and the Irish west coast also experienced significant outages on Sunday night where more than 50,000 people were left without power.
The hazardous conditions saw dozens of flights cancelled on Sunday, including at airports in Dublin and Belfast.
The Met Office said winds will ease slightly as Storm Ashley moves north east on Monday, with a mix of scattered showers and sunny spells expected in its wake.
The weather is likely to turn “unsettled” later in the week, bringing possible heavy rain and strong winds once more.
An eagerly anticipated beach motocross event in Gwynedd, Wales was cancelled as a result of the storm on Sunday.
Barmouth Beach had planned to host the vent on its specially built course before a storm surge and high tides flooded the course.
HERE are the locations of the last 10 remaining flood warnings across England.
BELLA Maclean’s acting career has already included some big TV credits.
You may recognise her from Netflix‘s Sex Education as well as now starring in Disney + show Rivals. Here’s everything you need to know about the rising star.
Bella spent the first 10 years of her life in New York where her parents worked.
However, they then moved back to the UK which is where Bella’s acting career began as she landed herself a place at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
It was in her last year at the school that she managed to get her foot in the door of the acting world.
Before leaving college, Bella was due to star in the musical Spring Awakening at the Almeida Theatre in London.
However, the coronavirus pandemic meant that just some of the shows were able to go ahead.
She already had some film experience before she graduated in 2020 as she starred in two short films while she studied.
Bella appeared in Silent Witness as Sara Mendes in series 26 where she played the sister of Fiona.
Bella’s arguably biggest role to date is in the final season of Netflix‘s Sex Education as Jem.
Jem was employed at her father’s farm where she taught horse riding to children and developed a friendship and relationship with Adam.
Bella’s latest role is starring in Disney + show Rivals.
Having been dubbed one of the raciest shows on TV, Bella takes on the character of Taggie who is the eldest daughter of Declan and Maud.
The eight part series is based on a Dame Jilly Cooper book.
Despite just being 20, Taggie appears to be the most responsible member of the O’Hara family as she wants to have her own catering business and to find her ideal romantic partner.
Bella is currently living in West London so she can be closer to acting opportunities.
She revealed in October 2024 to the Standard that many people have been getting her age wrong.
She said that it is often reported that she is 23 but she is actually 26 years old.
“I don’t know where anyone got that from, even people in the cast keep saying that after reading it online. I’m 26,” Bella confirmed.
Who was in the main cast of Sex Education?
FORMER Premier League referee hinted at clubs making a major tactical change because “we don’t want goals ruled out for those situations”.
Mark Halsey appeared on the latest episode of SunSport’s The Whisteblower as he ran the rule over the key refereeing decisions from the weekend.
And high on the agenda was John Stones’ controversial winner at Wolves.
The Manchester City defender powered home a thunderous header in injury time.
However, after plenty of confusion, the goal was originally chalked off when the referees concluded there was an offside against Bernardo Silva.
Silva tussled with Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa as the ball came in and was in an offside position when it flew into the back of the net.
But following a lengthy VAR review, the goal was allowed to stand – because Silva was adjudged to be out of Sa’s line of sight and not impacting his compatriot once Stones headed goalwards.
So despite the complaints of Gary O’Neil, Halsey was pleased to see the goal given.
He said: “I think the VAR was absolutely spot on to recommend a review for Chris Kavanagh to go and have a look because when you do see the replay, you know straight away that Silva hasn’t impacted on the goalkeeper with being in his line of vision.
“He just moves out of the way straight away. So, for me, I think the correct decision was made and that’s what we want to see and that is what VAR is there for.

“When the ball comes in, he can quite rightly stand there. When John Stones headers that ball, is he interfering with an opponent? Does he impact on his line of vision?
“You can clearly see, no, he doesn’t. And you can clearly see that the keeper sees the ball all the way.
“It’s just a great header from John Stones and, in my opinion, the goal was correctly given. We do not want to see goals ruled out for those sorts of situations.”
Players cannot be offside directly from the original kick and corners.
So Silva getting away with his antics at Molineux could prompt more teams into trying similar tactics at corners to disrupt goalkeepers – before ducking out in time.
So Silva getting away with his antics at Molineux could prompt more teams into trying similar tactics at corners to disrupt goalkeepers – before ducking out in time.
Pressed on the issue, Halsey added: “Listen, there’s always a little bit of contact going on in the box and all the time you see goalkeepers pushing players, don’t you?
“They push them out of the way just before the corner’s taken or while the corner comes across.
“So, for me, that’s normal contact. And yes, if that’s what the tactics they employ in other clubs, then so be it.
“But we do not want to see goals ruled out of that nature.”
Halsey also had his say on the William Saliba red card at Bournemouth.

The Frenchman received his marching orders after half an hour after pulling back Evanilson just into the Arsenal half – but was the last man and was deemed to be denying a goal-scoring opportunity.
But Halsey would have preferred the referee to stick with his original call of a yellow card.
The ex-Prem official said: “Rob Jones straight away showed a yellow card. Exactly what I would have done in that situation.
“Was it a clear and obvious error by Rob Jones? In my opinion, no. I thought he got it spot on.
“For me, there’s doubt there to whether that was an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
“And we keep hearing about Howard Webb saying we don’t want VAR getting involved in subjective decisions. Well, for me, that was subjective.
“VAR shouldn’t have got involved. It wasn’t a clear and obvious error, in my opinion, from Rob Jones.
“We should have stuck with the on-field referee decision of a yellow card.”
FOX NFL Sunday viewers has been left confused after Rob Gronkowski was absent from the show again.
The New England Patriots legend had been a regular on the weekend primetime program.
He had been appearing for a number of years, before missing the first week of the 2024-25 NFL season.
The 35-year-old returned, but has been out for most of the campaign, in a major concern to fans.
And Gronkowski was also missing from Week 7’s instalment of the show.
It had regular host Curt Menefee at the helm, sat alongside Pittsburgh Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw.
Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson and New York Giants icon Michael Strahan made up the panel.
But no Gronk on Fox NFL Sunday had viewers fearing he may “never come back” on the live TV broadcast.
Viewers rushed to social media site X to voice their concerns.
One said: “Where’s Gronk?”
Another added: “No Gronk again on Fox.”
A third commented: “I won’t watch Fox without him.”
And another said: “I miss Gronk.”
A fifth replied: “Where is Rob Gronkowski this week?”
Meanwhile, Gronkowski was sent a message by Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce last week.
Gronk has started a number of business ventures since his NFL retirement.
New England Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski says Tom Brady's greatness is down to consistency.
Brady continued playing until he was 45, leaving many people asking what was the secret to his longevity – and his longtime friend has the answer.
“You really don’t see that anymore in this generation, he really practices what he preaches,” Gronk told former teammate Julian Edelman, 38, on the Games with Names podcast.
“There are no and, ifs, or buts about Tom Brady being Tom Brady.
“What he puts out there, what he preaches, he practices it.
“There’s no doubt about it. There are a lot of people out there on social media, or at a lecture, they’re reminiscing about, ‘This is what you gotta do to be great, this is what you gotta do to be successful.’
“Well Tom Brady does what he says on a daily basis.
“He takes care of his body, he takes care of his mind, he competes, and that’s what makes him so great.”
He mixes that alongside his media duties, which include regular stints on the Kay Adams Show.
And now he has announced he will be partnering with entertainment studio Nuthouse.
This new partnership is being highlighted by a new series with his former teammate Julian Edelman.
It will be called Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules.
“Your favorite dudes have finally launched their very own show!” Gronk posted on his social networking pages.
“@gronk and @edelman11 here, and we are stoked to announce that we are officially teammates again.
“Welcome to the world of Dudes on Dudes!”
Kelce was one of the first to react to the news of the new show, and shared his excitement in the comments.
“This is gonna be epic!!!” he wrote with fire emojis.
CHARISSA Thompson dropped fans jaws with her most recent Fox NFL Sunday appearance.
The Fox reporter left viewers stunned with a figure-hugging dress during Sunday’s NFL action.
Thompson wore her hair at shoulder length while delivering a segment about Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold.
During the segment, she wore a vibrant red dress while speaking to the Fox NFL Sunday crew.
The red dress hugged her figure, and fans went wild for the stunning outfit.
“Charissa Thompson is so hot,” one fan said.
“Charissa Thompson looking absolutely stunning,” another fan said.
“They should just broadcast Charissa Thompson’s every movement,” a third fan said.
Outside of her duties on Fox NFL Sunday, Thompson airs her own podcast with fellow reporter Erin Andrews.
They talk about a multitude of subjects every week, most recently discussing a soft spot she has for a NFL quarterback.
“I know he takes a lot of s***,” Thompson said.
“Like ‘Oh, he gets all this money and he doesn’t win the playoffs, or it’s like this and that.
“Obviously, you and I get to know these guys on a personal level.
“If no one listening to this knows anything about Kirk Cousins, go back and watch Quarterback on Netflix.
“He is the sweetest, the kindest, like such a good human being,”
Thompson has covered Cousins’ career from college through the NFL, as she formerly worked in the Big 10.
She said Cousins remembered her from that time and it made their recent conversations even better.
