Tragedy as groom is killed 48 hours before his wedding in horror e-scooter crash
A groom was killed in a horror e-scooter crash just 48 hours before his wedding. Scott Catton, 54, was fatally injured after he collided with a car door which opened as he rode along the street in Top Valley, Nottingham, last Thursday. The father-of-one was rushed to hospital, suffering with broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a severe brain bleed, his family said. Despite the efforts of medics, the father-of-one passed away from his injuries at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre on Saturday. Tragically, Scott had been due to tie the knot with fiancée Debi on Monday and they were due to jet off on their honeymoon to Majorca today. But instead, his heartbroken family are now raising funds to help pay for funeral costs 'to give him the send off he deserves'. Over £5,700 has been raised so far towards a £7,500 target, with any remaining set to be put into trust for Scott's 13-year-old son. His brother in-law Philip Bates 56 described Scott 'as the life and soul of the party' and was a huge football, cricket and boxing fan. Philip said: 'He was on his way home and on an electric scooter, someone opened a car door and he just hit it. 'He broke ribs, his collarbone and had a severe brain bleed. We went straight to the hospital where we spent most of the weekend. 'He was supposed to get married at Arnold Registry Office at 2pm yesterday. They were going to Majorca, they were supposed to fly out today. 'It's horrendous. It's never a good time, but this is the worst time though. He was the life and soul of the party, everyone loved him. 'He was a cheeky chap. He was massively into his sports and we both played football. He played for local teams, and played at veterans level. He loved his cricket and boxing. 'He went to Wembley to watch England and he recently went to watch the Eubank vs Benn fight. He was Nottingham Forest mad too. 'Because he wasn't married he's got money himself. To get it released is a long process, so the main aim is to pay for the funeral and take the strain off of his partner and give any money left over to his son. 'The main reason is to help his son out and give him something.' Philip has set up a Gofundme to help cover funeral costs and to set up a trust for retired-EON advisor Scott's 13-year-old son. In response to the funds raised so far, the family said: 'We are truly humbled and grateful for all your generosity. It just shows how loved Scott was. 'I will keep the fund raising going to help Scott's son. 'Massive thanks to everyone who has donated and a special thanks to the Park Tavern and the Oxford public house who are organising fundraising events.' Nottinghamshire Police said officers were investigating the incident but were unable to provide any more information at this stage. A spokesperson for East Midlands Ambulance Service said: 'We received a call at 7.06pm on Thursday 5 June to Ridgeway Walk in Top Valley.

Love Island All Star flogs her wardrobe on Vinted – with items priced from a tenner
A LOVE Island pocket rocket has got fans in a fashion frenzy after shifting her old wardrobe on Vinted. The bombshell has put some of her pre-worn clothes on the selling site - with items going for a very affordable price. 9 9 9 9 Reality star and influencer Kady McDermott has thrilled followers by putting her clobber up for grabs for as little as a tenner on the second hand platform. She told followers on social media: "Shop my Vinted," along with an array of pictures of dresses, trousers, tops, sportswear, heels, trainers, shoes, occasionwear and ski gear. The former Towie star's for sale collection includes pink MyProtein size 6 leggings for £10 and a size 8 Distressed Denim Mini Dress from H:ours for £55. Amongst other penny-pinching steals, there's a size 8 Metallic Drape Bandeau Mini Dress for £190 from Retrofête and a size 8 Pretty Little Thing Distressed Faux Leather Biker Racer Jacket for £12. There's an XS Six Stories White Trouser Suit going for £60 and a Lavish Alice Rose Pink Dress, which has never been worn and has its original tags, size 6 for £50. The star is giving half the profit from threads sold towards a charity close to her heart, Brain Tumour Research. Kady wrote on the charity website: "Nan was the rock of our family… by the time they confirmed it was a brain tumour, there was nothing anyone could do…" She continued: "She was the best nan ever. My dad wasn't around when I was growing up so it was like I had two mums. "Nan lived close by and used to pick me up from school and make cakes for me and my brother Keenan and sister Kirsty. I remember her feeding us until we could hardly move! She was the perfect cook. "Growing up, I was really close to her and would probably tell Nan more about what was going on in my life than Mum. She was always on my side." Kady McDermott SPLITS from millionaire boyfriend & makes brutal 'you can't change bad morals' swipe She admitted: "Apart from a bit of a family history of migraines, which I suffer from too, everyone is pretty fit and healthy in my family. To be honest, I never thought serious illness could happen to us." Kady's official account splits 50% of the profit donated to The Brain Tumour Research Charity - and is run by her management team. It reads: "No refunds. Always posted within time frame. Happy shopping." This comes after Kady has confirmed she is back together with her millionaire ex boyfriend. The brunette beauty is back together with her on/off boyfriend millionaire Henry Simmons. Kady, 29, previously told fans she had caught Henry Simmons, 25, cheating with 'two women she found leaving his house'. The reality star, who first hinted in December that they were back together, has been spotted with Henry enjoying a luxury holiday in the Maldives. Kady - who originally appeared in the second series of Love Island - made waves in the recent All Stars by having an almighty falling out with fellow contestant Mitch Taylor. The Love Island's season 10 contestants went head to head with Mitch accusing Kady of having a secret boyfriend on the outside. 9 9 9 9 9
