Mum-of-six on holiday in Spain slammed for claiming sunbeds for her ‘big family' first thing & then going for a DAY OUT
Mum and TikToker Stephanie was slammed after she revealed she claimed several sunbeds at the pool area for her ''big family''.

But rather than chilling outside and soaking up the glorious sunshine by the pool, Stephanie then went for a day out with her bumper brood.
The family, her TikTok page revealed, are currently enjoying a holiday in Spain - despite the mum confessing her '' annual leave hasn't been approved''.
Once the sunbeds had been claimed by placing their towels on top, Stephanie and her family went on a stroll to find a breakfast spot.
''We have come as a big family, so we have to be there early,'' Stephanie explained her logic behind the move.
For brekkie, the mum showed in the clip, the brood opted for pancakes topped with appeared to be scrambled egg, a frittata, toast and baked beans.
''These did not disappoint. We came here every day for breakfast - it's amazing.''
A while later, after the family had devoured the dishes, the sun-soaked Brits headed for a mini shopping trip in the area.
It wasn't until Stephanie and the bumper brood had finished shopping for clothes that they returned to the accommodation - and finally enjoyed the poolside, as well as their sun loungers.
Since being posted online, the clip has amassed more than 115k views in just two days - and the mum has been shamed for claiming the sunbeds.
More than 600 people gave the video a like, as over 560 others flooded to comments to share their thoughts - and criticism.
Fuming holidaymakers foil fellow Brits sneaky plans to secure sunbeds seven hours before hotel pool opens
One person was baffled, writing: ''I can't believe you claim the sunbeds and then leave.''
Someone else was just as stunned, commenting: ''Why claim sun beds if you're going out for the day?''
A third chimed in with their approach: ''All hotels should do the same thing.
Experts weigh in on whether you should reserve your sunbed with a towel on holiday
EVERY summer, hotels become the sites of frantic battles, as guests try to reserve the best loungers with their towels first thing in the morning.
But etiquette and elegance expert Katarina, who shares her expert opinions about manners on TikTok at @katarina.etiquette, says people need to be less selfish and more considerate of other hotel guests.
In the footage, she said: "If you're staying at a hotel, avoid blocking the sunbeds if you're not planning on staying. It's disrespectful toward other guests.
"Unless the hotel has a reservation system in place, only occupy the sunbeds when you're staying by the pool."
Renowned etiquette expert, William Hanson, believes there is a 30-minute grace period on poolside reservations.
This is where hotel guests can use a towel or a book to reserve a spot for no longer than half an hour.
William told the Sun Online Travel: "In the morning, at the start of the day, and you're by the pool after breakfast, then it's fine at 8.30 to put your towel on the bed to reserve your spot.
"But later on in the day after you've used the lounger, and go off for a massage, for example, which is going to be an hour, then you can't use a towel to reserve the sun lounger."
If you're grabbing some grub at lunchtime, William said holidaymakers are allowed to eat at the hotel bar or restaurant providing you're not gone longer than 30 minutes.
He said: "It also gives your towel time to dry off."
William said despite the grace period, "You can't hog the sun lounger for the entire day."
Meanwhile, Laura Akano, the Principal Coach and Trainer at Polished Manners doesn't believe holidaymakers have a right to reserve a lounger at all.
She told the Sun Online Travel: "I think it should be a first come first serve basis - if the resort doesn't have a booking system."
''After 30 mins of not been on sun lounger, towels are removed and other people get them.''
Many eagle-eyed social media users also spotted the sorry state of the sun loungers - which hundreds thought belonged ''in a prison exercise yard''.
''Rather lie on the floor than those beds,'' a person joked.
''I'd have to jet wash them beds 1st,'' a TikToker chimed in.

Iconic DJ, 58, with smash hit UK no 1 reveals anti-ageing secrets as his youthful looks leave fans baffled
ROGER SANCHEZ is in the best shape of his life and, ahead of his next mega- show at Pacha in Ibiza on Sunday night, the superstar DJ told me he trains like an athlete. In an exclusive chat ahead of the concert, Roger says: 'I've been thinking about the hyperbaric chambers that footballers go in and I'm going to start getting more into cold water plunges. But I train. I go to the gym. I do take care of myself. I do biohacking too. 8 8 'I will have biohacked it to the point where I can jump up and down on stage for years to come. 'I'm trying to avoid wheelchairs at all costs.' His youthful looks belie his true age, with Roger just two years off celebrating his 60th birthday. And he admits fans are baffled by how he still looks so young, laughing: 'People always ask, 'Who's your plastic surgeon?' I'm like, 'God, I've never had any work done.' My wife keeps me on my toes. She is my inspiration.' Roger's other half, Kristen Knight, is a fellow DJ, and the pair split their time between the US and Ibiza — where Roger is a Pacha club stalwart. He says: 'We try to push each other forward with our music. 'Working together comes naturally, and we DJ together a lot. 'Turntable hog' 'We're both very technical DJs, so it works. 'But I've been around for quite some time, which allows me to open some doors, but equally I am happy to step back when it's time for her to take the position. When she's playing, I try to make sure that I'm supportive and she makes sure she's supportive of me. 'I tend to be a 'turntable hog', as she likes to call it. I try to step back and not be as greedy with the decks as I can be.' Roger Sanchez: The Lifelong DJ Keeping the Party Alive After Sunday night's show, Roger will play two more huge sets at the superclub before taking a final bow at Pacha's All Night Long closing weekend on October 12. And the veteran star has no plans to stop spinning the decks any time soon. 'I never gave thought to the expiration date,' Roger says. 'I enjoy the mental gymnastics of trying to think five tracks ahead and reading the dance floor. 'I've never really viewed this as a job. I viewed this as a passion, and I'm fortunate enough that they pay me to do so. 'That being said, I've never said, 'I'll keep doing this until I'm 100.' ' I wouldn't be surprised if he tried. Fly bye, Charli THEY tied the knot over the weekend, but Charli XCX and George Daniel are saving their honeymoon for after their second wedding later this year. Just 24 hours after formally saying their vows at Hackney Town Hall in East London, it was back to work for the Brat summer star. 8 8 My exclusive snaps show the singer being waved off by The 1975 drummer George at Luton Airport's jet terminal as she headed off on a job. Charli looked remarkably fresh-faced after partying with her closest friends and family until the early hours of Sunday following their wedding. But I bet she couldn't wait to grab an extra snooze on her fancy flight. The couple, who got engaged in 2023, will tie the knot again in Sicily later this year. My insiders told me Charli and George have organised a massive blow-out wedding for all of their loved ones. It's the cherry on the cake after an amazing year for the both of them. Miley Spotify gig made into movie MILEY CYRUS'S Billion Club Live concert with Spotify has been made into a film which is available to watch now. During the show, which was recorded in Paris in front of her biggest fans, Miley performs some of her biggest tracks, including Flowers, We Can't Stop and Wrecking Ball, which have all surpassed one billion streams on the download service. Her film is the second to come from Spotify's Billions Club concert series, with the first featuring The Weeknd back in December. Glitz all fab fun ★★★☆☆ IF you're looking for a carbon copy of 2010 film Burlesque, I'm sad to say this West End adaptation might not be for you. But if you head to the Savoy Theatre with an open mind, I can promise you'll come away with a smile on your face, thanks to the camp-as-Christmas production. 8 Jess Folley steals the show as Christina Aguilera's Ali and takes on the difficult musical arrangements with ease. Christina was in the audience for the gala night and told those around her how proud she was of the actress after Jess took her final bow. Todrick Hall, who plays costume designer Sean, has undeniable star power and stage presence, and he's honed his comedic timing to perfection. The costumes and choreography are bold and brash, and the whole show is immediately impressive. At times, it feels like the production has turned from an adaptation of the hit film made popular by Cher and Christina, to a proper labour of love for Todrick, who not only stars but is also the director, choreographer and composer. Prior to the gala night, Todrick axed an hour of the show, which was definitely wise as the running time still stands at a beefy two and a half hours. Burlesque will no doubt divide fans and critics. But if you are willing to take in the beauty and sass of the cast – along with the cheesy jokes – it's guaranteed to lift your spirits. JACK HARDWICK Bieber Justin front in battle for No1 JUSTIN BIEBER is racing towards the No1 spot in the Official Singles Chart tomorrow. But it's going to be a photo finish, with his track Daisies now just 100 units ahead of Dior, by MK ft Chrystal. 8 If Justin, left, makes it to the top, Daisies will be his first No1 since he achieved the feat with Ed Sheeran on their song I Don't Care six years ago. Justin's new album Swag was released last week and has already broken all kinds of records. It is his most streamed project globally and went straight to the top of the charts on both Spotify and Apple Music's album charts in more than 100 countries. Swag is also his most personal album to date and we reckon it's well worth a listen if you've not already downloaded it. Price is right for Madge MADONNA is pushing ahead with her next album, and she wants her fans to know it. The Queen of Pop has been busy in a London studio where she has been working with Stuart Price. The album, Confessions Part 2, is the follow-up to her 2005 record Confessions On A Dance Floor. Madge had huge success with Stuart before, with the pair coming up with hits including Get Together, Jump and Hung Up. And insiders say they have been cooking up even more magic. 'Madonna sounds incredible,' my music mole said. 'She and Stuart are on fire and the songs sound so fresh and fun.' Hurry up and get it finished please, Madge – we're desperate to hear it. Biz Blinds GETTING a gift from your other half can be super-romantic. But when household name Bland Blanked started to woo one of his many glamorous lovers, the object of his affections got more than she bargained for when he popped 'his and hers' bags of cocaine on the table during a date. As it wasn't the kind of bag she might have hoped for, she duly dumped the handsome telly star. The only way is up the nose in Essex, clearly. Abi hides message THE Last Dinner Party's Abigail Morris says a song on new album From The Pyre was inspired by a 'situationship' she was in with another major artist. Speaking in the latest issue of Rolling Stone UK, the star said: 'I've spoken with so many artists who are in relationships with other artists and they use their albums and artwork to offer a secret code to them. 8 'I've done it too. In that song I interpolated a melody from the song of someone I was seeing at the time. 'It's not like I want them to know or the world to know – it's just I know and that's really entertaining to me.' We'll start guessing when it's released on October 17.

I took a risk & ordered extensions on Shein for half the price… my hair is healthier than ever & they lasted NINE months
A BEAUTY fan has revealed that she took a risk and ordered hair extensions from Shein. Much to her surprise, Kim Fegan Hutchinson was left overjoyed when her Shein purchases arrived and now, nine months later, she is still beaming. 2 2 Not only did Kim nab her hair extensions on the cheap, but she claimed that her locks are healthier than ever now too. Eager to share her honest thoughts on the affordable extensions, Kim, who works in Tesco, took to social media to give her followers a close-up look at her luscious locks, leaving many totally stunned. In the short clip, Kim sat in her car and ran her fingers through her hair, as she penned: 'Update on the Shein tape extensions just because I'm getting new hair put in next week. 'The hair is nine months old and I could easily get 12 months plus from them.' Not only have the extensions, which cost her £80 in total, lasted for months, but even better, they haven't caused any damage to her real hair. She continued: 'My own hair is healthier than ever. 'The best £80 I've ever spent on Shein.' Kim later confirmed that she used three packs of the 9AM hair extensions, in the shade S4. Not only are they great quality, but they're much cheaper than many of the other alternatives on the market. Prices of hair extensions vary largely on the amount and length you decide to have, but Kim's are half the price of average human hair tape extensions, which typically cost around £125 to £150. Ugly side of fashion giant Shein revealed as retailer slammed by rivals for 'unfair tactics' to keep prices low Prior to buying her hair extensions from Shein, Kim splashed the cash on a really posh pair, which on reflection, don't compare to these, as the beauty fan beamed: 'They are way better than my previous ones that I paid £300+ for.' Beauty fans beam The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ kimfeganhutchinso, has clearly left many stunned, as in just five days, it has quickly racked up 480,700 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 16,100 likes, 228 comments and 3,045 saves. Social media users were gobsmacked by the purse-friendly hair extensions and eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'They look amazing.' Another added: 'Ah making me excited, just ordered some.' A third commented: 'Look great! Can you curl as you normally would with professional extensions?' To this, Kim replied and confirmed: 'Yes they curl and straighten lovely.' What is Shein and is it legit? Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world. The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M. The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu. Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam. But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews. There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag. At the same time, someone else asked: 'Does it damage your hair? I'm thinking of doing extensions but just worried it'll thin it.' In response, Kim explained: 'With these I have very little shedding and because I'm not washing, drying, applying heat etc as often as I would have done without them in, my hair is so much healthier.' And it's not just Kim who is a huge fan of these Shein hair extensions - as many other beauty enthusiasts also shared their rave reviews. One user penned: 'I am wearing 9AM S4 and I get soooo many compliments. Best hair ever.' A second agreed: 'I swear by 9AM. I've tried different types in the same price bracket on Shein and I'll always go back to them and the colour match is brilliant.'

I know why desperate Meghan and Harry REALLY held peace talks – they'll be begging for handouts now, expert claims
A ROYAL expert has claimed the real reason why Meghan and Harry held peace talks, saying the Duke and Duchess will now be begging for handouts. Journalist and author Robert Jobson made the revealing comments whilst appearing on The Sun's latest Royal Exclusive show. 5 His insights come after it was revealed that the couple's $100million deal with Netflix had been scrapped. Mr Jobson, talking to The Sun's Matt Wilkinson said: 'Well, the deal was always set about $100 million, wasn't it? 'And the talk of that figure sort of blew a lot of people's minds, but I think that was for productions and things that they're supposed to have done. 'Where does it leave them? Probably with a bit of a bowl out, looking for some handouts.' He added: 'Maybe that's why they were over with their staff, were over here having discussions with the King. I don't know. 'The reality is in the past they got support from the King and the late Queen, and they said they were going to go and make their way. 'They've lost Spotify, they've lost Netflix. 'They can't rely on the spare money forever, can they?' The show's other guest, Sky News' royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills also speculated what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would now do for money. She said: 'It's just fascinating. They have this very expensive lifestyle. 'They have to pay for their security, pay for that big mansion. 'How do you kind of keep the money coming in?' Earlier this month it was revealed Netflix will not renew their contract when it expires in September. The Sussexes and Netflix have mutually decided not to make an official announcement. But streaming execs have quietly agreed to part ways. It comes after Harry's vanity project, Polo, about the sport, was watched by just 500,000 people. It was also understood that bosses were mildly infuriated by Meghan making her As Ever brand a priority. A source said streamer Paramount+ was thought to be keen to work with the couple, who would be open to it if the right project came along. Last month it was announced Netflix had signed a deal with King Charles and Idris Elba for a documentary exploring the impact of the King's Trust. And it was understood any deal with the Sussexes could be seen as a hindrance to that link-up. Netflix declined to comment. Harry is said to have 'given his blessing' for the peace talks involving two of his team plus the King and Queen's director of communications. They spoke about potential ways to end their family conflict, though a proposal for Harry to make a royal return was not on the agenda. Adding intrigue to the developments, Prince William's team were not involved in the London summit. California-based Harry is next due to visit the UK in September for the annual WellChild events. It opens up the prospect of meeting his father for the first time in 18 months. Buckingham Palace had also supported the proposals to 'open a channel of communication' — it has been claimed. 5 5
