With people tuning in from each corner of the globe, the days are getting darker and the weather is getting colder and that can only mean one thing – the Late Late Toy Show is just around the corner! In celebration of the this year’s Toy Show (which viewers can catch on December 6th!), Penneys […]

AN INJURED Brit woman was rescued after she was hacked by a boat propeller while diving off a Thai island.
Aimee Louise Bacchetta, 30, was paddling off the idyllic Similan Islands in Phang Nga province when she injured her leg on a whirring boat propeller.
The holidaymaker suffered a deep wound near her right Achilles tendon.
Crew from the speedboat Saracha called the Royal Thai Navy.
Medics were rushed to the scene, where they stopped the bleeding and transported Bacchetta to hospital after carrying her to shore.
She has since been released from hospital and is recovering from the ordeal.
Phang Nga welcomed the first batch of tourists on October 15 after the area was closed for the rainy monsoon season.
The Similan Islands are a group of 11 small islands in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Thailand.
Known for their clear blue waters, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine life, the islands are a popular destination for diving, snorkeling, and sightseeing.

BIG Brother is embroiled in a bullying row after a mean prank played out in last night’s live stream.
Tensions between contestants Izaaz, Baked Potato, Nathan and Emma continued to simmer during the main episode, particularly when Izaaz was chosen to tackle a physical challenge despite feeling shattered.
Then, late at night, Nathan messed up Izaaz’s bed upon learning from his clique that he liked to keep it tidy, which viewers felt was cruel.
One wrote in a fan forum: “It’s mad how people wanted to scream bully at Ali for saying Khaled was disingenuous (which is now looking to be very true) to his face yet Nathan and Emma seem to have a vendetta against Izaaz and have gone out of their way to make him miserable for at least 3 days and it doesn’t seem to be being blown up or discussed as much as Ali v Khaled.”
Another said: “What he did was annoying, and he is acting like a child, but they are also acting like bullies and it’s only making it worse.
A third shared: “He must feel awful in there right now when he already feels crap and they are just laughing at him and not taking his feelings seriously.”
A fourth posted: “I feel like a lot of the housemates don’t like Izaaz for whatever reason. He got three nominations last time for eviction and I feel like people speak badly about him behind his back quite a bit. Emma’s treatment of him was ridiculously harsh over a single bagel.”
Sleep-deprived Izaaz was fuming throughout a mini-task that saw him forced to churn butter as part of a team.
They had to extract milk from a cow and make eight blocks of butter in 30 minutes.
It came as the house was turned into Number 10 and contestants assigned the role of Prime Minister, Cabinet and citizens.
PM Nathan didn’t care that Izaaz was tired, instead he reasoned that if he refused to do it, they could lay the blame at his feet and make him the scapegoat.
Though he ultimately completed the challenge, alongside Sarah, Hannah, Segun and Thomas, Izaaz’s mood wasn’t buoyed.
It followed a row earlier in the week over a bagel being binned, with Izaaz declaring it a waste of food and telling others that Emma shared his views, which she didn’t appreciate.
She fumed: “Why have you told people I was annoyed about him throwing the bagel away.”
He replied: “I didn’t say you were annoyed, I said I felt you were annoyed, that’s all.”
Emma responded: “Why did you say that when I didn’t say f*ck all to you about it?”
Later on, Dean and Nathan called Izaaz a “s**t-stirrer”.
Emma said: “He annoys me, I can’t lie he really f**king gets on my t*ts.”
When the political shopping task began, the PM and his ministers were given a big spread to enjoy, and the leftovers were handed to the citizens.
But suspicious Dean felt they could fail the task if they tucked into food and threw the bagel away.
A SAVVY shopper has shared how she picked up a free Snow Fairy shower jelly from Lush worth £45 using a clever hack.
Rachael, who runs the @selfcarewithrachael page, uploaded a video showing how she walked away with the huge saving.
She said: “Did you know you can take your empty Lush pots back to the store and get 50p off per item?
“This includes bath bomb moulds if you made one at a party, and even the little sample pots, which are worth 5p.
“So, here I go—I’m after something in particular.”
Rachael bagged up her old Lush pots and took them to her local store to rack up some credit.
Customers get 50p off your shopping bill if you bring back one of your old pots, or 5p if you return one of their 10ml sample pots.
Alternatively you can get a free face mask if you return five full-sized qualifying items.
Rachael showed herself tipping her huge supply of old containers out in the shop, which came to 97 pots and nine sample pots.
She added: “I did apologise to the staff when I finally brought this in because it was quite a lot.
“The total came to £48.50, I think, in the end.
“I got the giant Snow Fairy shower jelly, obviously, and didn’t have to pay anything extra.”
And that wasn’t all that Rachael picked up, as she also picked up a Christmas jelly in the shape of a capybara too, and only paid 55p for it.
The Lush fan added: “So, it really is worth saving those pots up!”
Many people were impressed, with one saying: “Such a good exhange!
“My husband looked at me weirdly the first time I was like nooo don’t throw it.”
Another added: “how did i not know this, never throwing away again!”
A third commented: “I save all mine and go with a big bag lol.”
LUSH'S Bring It Back recycling scheme invites customers in the UK&I to return any of their Lush plastic packaging back to their shops for recycling.
Not only that but as a thank you for helping keep plastic going and going, they offer a choice of rewards:
Snow Fairy first launched in 2013 and developed a fan base who love its sweet-smelling notes of vanilla and cotton candy.
In 2020, Lush sold half a million bottles of their best selling Snow Fairy shower gel over the Christmas period.
Lush also sells Snow Fairy body spray and body conditioner.
They celebrated the return of the Snow Fairy scent products in September, writing on Instagram: “The Snow Fairy is here, to sprinkle kindness, courage, and confidence.
“A sweet scent sparks a journey through a snow-laden forest to the enchanted world of the Snow Fairy.”
YOUR iPhone has a special setting that can protect you from phone-snatchers who have seen your passcode.
It’s designed to hinder thieves who wait to see you unlock your iPhone before nabbing it.
The feature is called Stolen Device Protection, and it only takes a few seconds to turn on.
Apple explains: “You can use Stolen Device Protection to protect against the rare instance when someone has stolen your iPhone and knows your passcode.
“Stolen Device Protection prevents the person from performing critical device and Apple Account operations (like changing your device passcode or Apple Account password).
“It does this by requiring biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID. There is no passcode to fall back on.”
Stolen Device Protection is location-based.
So it’s designed to work when you’re away from familiar locations like your home and work.
It means that if someone steals your device while you’re out and about after seeing your passcode, they can’t make “critical” changes.
So accessing your stored passwords and credit cards will require Face ID or Touch ID. There’s no option to use a passcode instead.
And there’s also a Security Delay feature.
So if you want to change your Apple Account passcode, you’ll have to wait an hour and then perform a second Face ID or Touch ID scan.
This is to stop people from stealing your phone, unlocking it with your face, then running off and changing the passcode.
They’d need to stay with you for an entire hour to be able to reset your Apple Account password.
Apple says: “In the event that your iPhone is stolen, the security delay is designed to prevent a thief from performing critical operations so that you can mark your device as lost and make sure your Apple account is secure.”
None of these changes will be in effect if you’re at home or work.
However, you can set it up so that Stolen Device Protection is always active no matter where you are.
First make sure that you’ve updated your iPhone by going into Settings > General > Software Update.
You’ll also need to make sure that you’ve got four settings set up.
First you need two-factor authentication turned on for your Apple Account.
Here's what you can and cannot do with passcodes while Stolen Device Protection is active...
If Stolen Device Protection is turned on, you’ll need to use Face ID or Touch ID to do any of the following:
You’ll also experience the Security Delay for any of the following actions:
Then you need to make sure that you’ve got an iPhone passcode as well as Face ID or Touch ID.
Third, make sure that you’ve got Significant Locations switched on in the Location Services part of your Settings.
And fourth, ensure that you’ve got Find My turned on.
You can’t turn this setting off if you want to use Stolen Device Protection.
Once that’s all sorted, go into Settings > Face ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, and turn Stolen Device Protection on.
From there, you can also choose to require a security delay always – or only when you’re away from familiar locations.
A WOMAN who is constantly being told to stop snogging her sister, has revealed that her relationship is not what it seems.
Jess and Princess look almost identical, and always dress in exactly the same outfits.
The duo are inseparable, but their close bond has left some people disgusted.
“Why are you looking at your sister like that?”, one troll commented under a video posted by the duo.
However, the pair revealed that despite looking like doppelgangers, they are not actually related at all, and are in a relationship.
Princess said that she finds herself attractive, so was drawn to Jess because of her similar looks.
“We do look alike, the curly hair, the prettiness”, Jess told Love Don’t Judge.
When they first got together Jess and Princess dressed very differently, but soon decided to match each others styles so that they looked even more like twins.
However, they said that they are scared to do PDA, as it always leads to backlash from people who think the couple are related.
Determined not to let the judgement get to them, the women said: “We don’t live our life for nobody else except for ourselves.”
And the duo aren’t the only ones who have been criticised for allegedly dating a family member.
Lauren Evens recently revealed that she was trolled horrendously after sharing her wedding photos, with many believing that the pictures showed her kissing a 10-year-old boy.
However, the other person in the photographs wasn’t actually a young boy at all, it was her 29 year old wife Hannah.
“Some people said it was cute that my 10-year-old son was walking me down the aisle,” says social media promoter Lauren.
“Others said it was disgusting that I was kissing a young boy.
“I paid thousands of pounds to look younger and change my body and appearance, but my wife is just very lucky to have incredible genes.
A recent study suggests that people are more likely to find love with partners who bear a resemblance to themselves. Conducted by a team of researchers, the study analysed the physical features of numerous couples and found a significant trend towards partners having similar facial characteristics. This phenomenon, often referred to as “assortative mating,” indicates that individuals may subconsciously seek out mates who look like them.
The researchers believe this tendency could be linked to the comfort and familiarity associated with one’s own appearance. Seeing reflections of oneself in a partner might foster a sense of security and trust, which are crucial components in forming lasting relationships. The study also touches upon the evolutionary perspective, suggesting that choosing partners with similar genetic traits might have been beneficial for our ancestors.
Moreover, the findings extend beyond just physical appearance. The study also uncovered that couples often share similar lifestyles, interests, and values, further reinforcing the idea that like attracts like. While this does not mean that opposites never attract, it highlights the importance of commonalities in the foundation of romantic relationships.
“She is two years younger – I am not getting arrested.
“Hannah is a tough nut but the comments offend me and they are incredibly hurtful.
“People think they have the right to call me a predator or a paedophile and that disgusts me.
“The amount of abuse we have received is just ridiculous.”

IT seems not that long ago Luke Littler was making his name at the PDC World Darts Championship.
Less than a year later, the 17-year-old has amassed a fortune believed to be around £650,000 – as many predicted he would.
Recent reports have suggested his earnings could even eclipse David Beckham’s empire.
Despite his young years, Littler has made winning a habit – landing the Premier League title and the World Series Finals this year.
But it’s his endorsements where The Nuke is raking it in.
Google, Estée Lauder, LinkedIn, boohooMAN, Target Darts, and Under Armour are all believed to be on the payroll.
Those sponsors and the prize money earned on the circuit have allowed Littler to splash the cash.
Back in June, he teased that he would get a new car after he passed his driving test – a modest Volkswagen.
However, it has been revealed he has now moved his parents from their £180,000 two-bed semi to a £6,000-a-month flashy property he rents on “Millionaires Row” in Warrington.
The five-bedroom detached pad is in a leafy village on the outskirts of his hometown in Cheshire.
The news comes after Littler has agreed to appear on a TV quiz show reboot this Christmas.
The arrows sensation will star as a guest player alongside Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff in a revamped Bullseye special.
It’s fair to say, Littler’s living his best life right now.
While his working life is thriving, Littler now prefers to keep his personal life private.
Littler split up from ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn back in July, following a whirlwind 10-month romance in the public eye.
However, he may have let slip that he has moved on and has a new girlfriend in a live stream gaffe.
Littler was gaming with friend and popular streamer ‘Angry Ginge’ when a female voice was heard in the background of the live stream he was taking part in.
The voice was heard from off camera, saying: “I’m gonna try and get some sleep because I am so tired.”
Angry Ginge responded: “Who the f*** is that? Who’s that Luke? Who’s that Luke? He’s had a rotter there. Luke’s had a rotter. Let her get to bed, Luke, come on.”
Littler saw the funny side but was unhappy his secret was let slip, saying: “Your chat is going mad. F*** off.
“If someone has screen recorded that, it is in the papers in the morning.
“Yep, well played. Why is the volume all the way up, you f***ing idiot?”
It was Littler’s parents who spilled the beans on their plush new rental home.
The dart’s star’s parents Anthony Buckley, 43, and Lisa Littler, 40 shared loved up snaps of themselves enjoying a swim in its private pool on Instagram.
Behind them, a projection screen showed they were keeping up with the darts, watching Littler’s rival Luke Humphries in action.
The family’s French bulldog Nala was also watching on from a blanket nearby.
Aside from the swimming pool, the property boasts a large garden and has six bathrooms.
Littler, who takes his gaming very seriously and bought a Nintendo Switch after landing the £315,000 jackpot for winning Premier League, will continue to live with his parents in the swish abode.
Incredibly, Littler’s star has grown at an astonishing rate.
He is now a regular at Old Trafford, where he has rubbed shoulders with Man Utd legend Sir Alex Ferguson.
Back in April, Littler also enjoyed a day out at Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach – posing outside the iconic Big One – the UK’s tallest rollercoaster.
It’s his endorsements that seem to be paying him very well.
When he exploded onto the scene, Target Darts signed him up on a bumper contract.
Reports claimed it was the biggest sponsorship the game has ever seen.
Then, boohooMAN got in touch and had Littler doing a bit of modelling.
Better still, KSI and the Sidemen crew seem to love having the teen working with them.
They teamed up for a launch of a new cereal earlier this year called BEST.
Littler featured in a hilarious online ad where he got the chance to show off his darting expertise.
However, the latest deal he has inked is sure to guarantee Littler meets an even wider audience.
His emergence reportedly inspired ITV to revive popular 80s quiz show Bullseye, originally presented by the legendary Jim Bowen.
Instead, it will be hosted by “Freddie” Flintoff – with Littler expected to appear in a Christmas special, in which he will throw for charity.
A TV insider said: “Luke wasn’t even born when Bullseye was on our screens with original host, Jim Bowen.
“But Luke knows this is a plum role to have landed.
“As he steps up to the Bullseye oche he knows he’s following in the footsteps of legends including Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson who all threw darts on the programme in its 1980s heyday.
“It’s also a coup for the makers of the new Bullseye as Luke is now one of Britain’s best-known players.
“Producers moved swiftly to sign him shortly after the programme was recommissioned by ITV.
“It all adds to the huge sense of excitement for the programme to return.”
SHOPPING at Goodwill can be a bit of a gamble, but one fashion fan it the jackpot on her recent trip.
Grace Andrews wasn’t exacting much when she began trawling through the packed rails, but things started looking up when she began spotting some pricey brands.
From some stunning cargo pants, to a trendy mini skirt, the fashion fan quickly began to fill her cart with bargains.
Grace showed off “the best treasure” she managed to snap – a designer top for a seriously discounted price.
The 90s vintage Vivienne Tam sheer top
“I remember thinking this top looked and felt too nice to only be $7,” Grace explained in the TikTok clip.
And she was so right.
After a quick online search, she realised the garment can fetch $600 online.
“I swear I started shaking,” she said.
In a follow-up clip, Grace tried on the designer top, which fit her perfectly.
Despite it’s worth, Grace revealed she has no plans to resell it though and “can’t wait” to make the most of it in her closet.
Other shoppers were stunned by her amazing find and couldn’t believe how lucky she got.
“I never find anything at Goodwill,” one said
“Wow. Great haul,” another chimed in.
Meanwhile, other Goodwill fans shared some of the bargains they managed to snap up from the retailer.
“I found Roger Viver heels for $25,” one shopper commented on the clip.
Another hit the jackpot when they bagged a Jill Sander T-shirt, and someone else found a massively reduced designer blazer from Oscar De La Renta.
This isn’t the first time someone has been extremely lucky with their thrifting finds though, one shopper revealed they found the deal of the century at their local Goodwill.
They took to Reddit to explain how they got their hands on a vintage Hermes scarf.
“Nothing like a mint-condition Hermes scarf for 50 cents, amirite?” they wrote in the caption.
The silk vintage item was 34” x 34” and designed by Frenchman Francoise de la Perriere.
The nautical-themed accessory is retailing for $499.89 on the reseller site 1stDibs.
According to the site, it was probably designed in the 1960s.
After snagging it for only 50 cents, that is close to a 1,000% markdown.
“Wow, you were the Thrift Gods’ favorite today! Congratulations, it’s lovely,” another Redditor wrote.
Here are some of the best thrift store finds:
LIAM Payne fell to his death just minutes after hotel staff made a panicked call to police.
The former One Direction heart-throb, 31, died instantly after tragically plunging from his third-floor balcony on Wednesday.
At 4.26pm, Liam was pictured by another guest laying on a sofa in the lobby on his laptop.
Two minutes later he was snapped by a lift in the CasaSur Hotel lobby in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Concerned hotel staff then dialled 911 at 5.01pm asking for police to be sent.
The head of reception said they needed “urgent assistance” to help with a guest “behaving erratically”.
He added: “He is destroying the entire room. We need you to send someone please.”
At 5.04pm, officers were assigned to go to the scene and a minute later at 5.05pm a patrol car arrived at the hotel.
But they were faced with a grisly scene when they found Liam had fallen from his balcony into the hotel’s inner courtyard.
At 5.07pm, police reported a person had plunged from the third floor and urgently requested an ambulance.
Paramedics arrived at the scene at 5.11pm local time (9.11pm UK time), and Liam was tragically pronounced dead.
It is unclear exactly what time dad-of-one Liam fell.
Witnesses have since claimed Liam was seen arguing with a mystery woman just three hotels before his death.
Michael Fleischmann, who was also staying at the hotel, claims the star was “very upset” as he argued about money in front of other guests.
Another guest said Liam displayed “disturbing” behaviour shortly before he died.
It comes as…
Investigators are now trying to piece together what happened to Liam before his fatal fall.
At least three hotel staff and two women who saw Liam the day he died have been spoken to by cops.
Police said they found his room in “complete disarray” with various items smashed and medication scattered around.
They said the circumstances surrounding Liam’s death were suspicious and possibly involved drugs.
They insisted there was no sign of third party involvement, however.
Buenos Aires police said they found packs of a prescription drug, energy supplements and other over-the-counter medications strewn about his belongings.
The Argentine public prosecutor said there also appeared to be alcohol and narcotics in the room.
An autopsy revealed internal bleeding and 25 traumatic injuries to his skull, limbs and abdomen, which were enough to cause his death.
The lack of defensive injuries on Payne’s hands indicated that he may have fallen into a state of unconsciousness, the public prosecutor said.
Results of toxicology tests are pending and could take weeks to become public.
911 operator: “What is happening sir?”
Reception head: “We have a guest drunk with drugs and alcohol. When he [them, gender not clear in conversation] is conscious, he is breaking everything in the room.”
911 operator: “You said alcohol and drugs…”
Reception head: “This is correct.”
911 operator: “You said Costa Rica intersecting where?”
Reception head: “Costa Rica 6032.”
911 operator: “Repeat.”
Reception head: “Costa Rica 6032.”
911 operator: “What is the hotel called?”
Reception head: “CasaSur Palermo. We need to send someone with urgency because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger because he is in a room with balcony, and we are afraid he could do something that threatens life.”
911 operator: “How long has he been there? Is it a long-stay hotel?”
Reception head: “(The guest) has been for the past three days.”
911 operator: “You don’t any other information because you can’t get in. Right?”
Reception head: “No.”
911 operator: “We are also notifying SAME (Medical Emergency Attention Service).”
Reception head: “We are asking to send someone with urgency because…”
911 operator: “We are doing that. Any other data to give me. Who are you?”
Reception head: “I’m the desk manager.”
911 operator: “Person in charge of the place.”
Reception head: “Yes.”
911 operator: “It has been notified. What is your name, sir?”
Reception head: “Esteban.”
911 operator: “Thanks for calling. Be online.”
Reception head: “Are you sending police too.”
911 operator: “Police from the delegation… Let me confirm.”
Reception head: “No, no, only SAME, only SAME (Medical Emergency Attention Service).”
911 operator: “Don’t worry because they have already been notified.”
Reception head: “Because as you said he is under the influence of alcohol and drugs, SAME personnel can’t enter alone.”
911 operator: “You can ask that to the police, but if SAME needs them, they will notify you.”
Reception head: “Good, OK, perfect.”
911 operator: “Have a good day.”
Reception head: “Thanks, you too.”
