Lauren Goodger displays her sunburnt boobs in plunging bikini top as she flogs games to fans in her garden after sharing surgery regrets
Lauren Goodger displayed her sunburnt boobs in a plunging bikini top as she flogged a series of games to her fans in her garden. The reality star, 38, has been making the most of the UK heatwave by stripping off and relaxing in the sun - after sharing that she has 'ruined her looks with surgery'. Taking to her Instagram on Tuesday, she put up a Story where she was visibly sunburnt on her chest. She was wearing a cream and khaki bikini and full glam whilst enjoying the weather. Lauren, who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2010, told her fans about a series of cash-grabbing games which can earn them up to £80. She admitted she spends a lot of time 'pointlessly scrolling', but fortunately there's actually a benefit that comes with it. Speaking to her followers, Lauren said: 'Hi guys, if you're like me and just waste loads of time scrolling on pointless apps, well then this is for you. 'You can earn up to £80 just by playing games. There's over three million subscribers and it's all over Trustpilot, it's completely trusted.' Lauren then encouraged her fans to sign up by sharing the link in her post. The telly personality seems to be embracing self-love just weeks after admitting that she thinks she has 'ruined her looks' with plastic surgery. Earlier this year, she revealed her plans to have her breast and bum implants removed this year. And speaking to The Sun, Lauren admitted the surgery she has undergone has left her thinking her body looks 'abnormal'. Lauren said she thinks her 'massive boobs and bum' have made her look bigger than she actually is and shared her plans to look like her old self again. The reality star expressed regret about getting the work done and insisted she plans to have all of it removed or reversed. Lauren said: 'I've ruined my looks with surgery - I hate my fake boobs and bum now. 'I feel like my body looks abnormal - I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum. She added: 'When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere.' In May, Lauren revealed she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed and can't wait to go back to a 'natural look'. She admitted her breast were 'perfect' before although now they simply 'make her look big' while opening up about her breast-reduction journey on Instagram. After years of desperately wanting to get her cosmetic surgery reversed, Lauren revealed she had finally plucked up the courage to put plans in place for later this year. Sharing her plans in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, she said: 'I was terrified [of getting it done] which is what I'm working on, I'm working on that. 'I've delayed it for a year now. I was meant to get the implants out and I want them out because that will transform me. 'It's not even about my weight, it's more my boobs and bum. If I could get rid of them I'd feel and look so much better.'

BBC tennis pundit was stalked by obsessed man who had previously targeted her sister
A BBC tennis pundit has revealed the terrifying ordeal she endured at the hands of a crazed stalker who targeted her for almost a year after first pursuing her sister. The former British tennis pro, Naomi Broady, whose brother is tennis star Liam Broady, was subjected to a relentless barrage of Facebook messages between January and December 2023, in what prosecutors described as a deeply disturbing harassment campaign. David Richardson, 39, from Stockport, appeared before Manchester magistrates' court last month where he admitted stalking Naomi's sister, Emma, 37, for three years and harassing Naomi over a 12-month period. Court documents reveal how Richardson sent 'multiple unwanted images and messages' via Facebook, as well as gifts, cards, and paintings. The campaign, it said, caused Naomi 'serious harm and distress'. Naomi, 35, who was part of the BBC's Wimbledon coverage last month and works as a commentator for BBC Radio 5 Live, is the latest in a growing list of female sports stars targeted by obsessive fans. When confronted at his home by The Mirror, Richardson admitted the offences. He claimed he had first tried to strike up a relationship with Naomi's sister Emma before asking her out. Naomi, 35, who was part of the BBC's Wimbledon coverage last month and works as a commentator for BBC Radio 5 Live Richardson had gone to school with Emma, but after she rebuffed him, he began targeting Naomi. He told reporters: 'I wanted to try to win her over. I wanted to ask her out... I was a bit out of practice with the girls... I've not been in a relationship'. The stalker confessed he had bought her a Selfridges voucher and some flowers for her birthday, but didn't ask her out. Then when Valentines Day and Christmas Day came around he sent her the same gifts. He claimed she thanked him and said it 'really cheered her up'. Richardson has now been banned from contacting either woman or approaching their homes ahead of sentencing at Manchester Crown Court on August 18. A source close to the sisters said: 'It was terrifying. They were pleased the police took it seriously. Action has now been taken'. Court documents on Richardson state he: 'Between 13/9/2020 and 4/12/2023 at Stockport pursued a course of conduct, by sending multiple unwanted images and messages via Facebook and sending unwanted gifts, cards and paintings, which amounted to stalking causing Emma Broady serious alarm or distress, which had a substantial adverse effect on her usual day-to-day activities when you knew or ought to have known that your course of conduct would cause alarm or distress.' They add: 'Between 18/1/2023 and 4/12/2023 at Stockport, pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the harassment of Naomi Broady, and which you knew or ought to have known amounted to the harassment of her in that you sent various unwanted messages on Facebook.' The ordeal mirrors the experiences of other high-profile tennis stars, including British Katie Boulter and US Open champion Emma Raducanu, who have both spoken of being stalked and threatened in recent years. Boulter revealed she had been followed in a car and sent menacing social media messages, while Raducanu was left in tears after a man trailed her to four tournaments, prompting a restraining order. Naomi, a former Wimbledon quarter-finalist in mixed doubles and a mother to twin boys born last December, began working as a BBC commentator in 2021. She had a celebrated career on court, reaching the second round at both Wimbledon and the US Open, and winning her first senior title in France in 2009.

Four arrested after break-in at home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt, say police
Four people have been arrested in connection with a burglary earlier this summer at a Los Angeles home reportedly owned by actor Brad Pitt, police said. Officers responded on June 25 to a break-in at the house in the Los Feliz area of the city.

Detectives have made four arrests, Officer Drake Madison said on Tuesday. He said the suspects' names could be released later in the day. Officials could not identify who owned or lived in the home, and no information was available on what was stolen.
