UK company launches £5,000 sex cruise — these are the rules passengers must follow
Killing Kittens, the kink-positive event company, is launching a very naughty cruise promising a pretty pleasurable holiday for couples and singles alike.
At a glance you might mistake it for a luxury all-inclusive trip, with the itinerary departing from Barcelona to Monte Carlo, before journeying on to Florence and Portofino.
But the cruise is certainly one-of-a-kind, hosting a heady timetable of Killing Kittens events, including its popular White Party, a masked ball, the Kreatures of the Night primal soiree, the latex themed Dominion, and Hedonism, the longest-running Killing Kittens event.
But just because you can let loose in one of the 'play rooms', it doesn't mean you can get lawless at sea. In fact, the Killing Kittens cruise has some very strict rules…
The three core values
If you're lucky enough to get a cabin on board, you must comply with the three core values of Killing Kittens: privacy, confidentiality and discretion.
This means you cannot reveal the identity of anyone else at the sex parties on board, and you mustn't harass, abuse or harm anyone (a given, we'd hope).

You also can't misrepresent your relationships with anyone, past or present – honesty is key, so if your wife is onboard, don't pretend she isn't.
No solo men in playrooms
Killing Kittens was born out of a desire to celebrate female pleasure, and therefore the safety of women, trans and non-binary individuals is paramount.
That's why founder Emma Sayle's golden rule is 'no solo men in playrooms'. In fact, single men won't be going on this cruise at all – it's for solo women or women and their partners only.
She tells Metro: 'Obviously it's consent, consent, consent, and everything is based on respect and being a decent human being.'
You'll need to sign consent and attendance forms too once onboard. Unlike Killing Kittens parties hosted on land, you won't actually need to be a member to go – you just need to abide by the club rules.
Dress codes
Going on a sex cruise doesn't just mean you can get your t*ts and bits out – it's a much classier affair.

In fact, Emma says there are specific clothing optional areas on board if you wish to bare all.
That's not all, when it comes to party events, you'll need to come prepared.
'You'll need to adhere to the dress code depending on the theme of the night,' Emma explains.
First timers
If you've never been to a Killing Kittens party before, you'll want to join the pre-event chat nearer the time, so you can chat to people are get the general vibe of your spicy holiday.
Don't sweat though, because there's also a mix and mingle the night before you set sail, to meet fellow cruisers.
'The White party is self explanatory – it's all white; the masked ball is black tie and ball gowns with masks; kreatures of the night is woodland, goddesses, nymphs – a chance to play real dress up.
'Hedonism is beach club wear in the day, and in the night Dominion is latex and leather.'
So, you'll need quite the collection of outfits if you're to fully embrace the erotic themes, but don't fret because there's also mask and headdress making stations on board.
The devil is in the details
If you feel like this is right up your street then here's a little more info on the cruise itself, which sets sail on June 9, 2026.

This includes cooking classes, wine and whiskey tastings, sunrise yoga and morning run club, sex workshops on relationships, self-expression and sensory play, and even a filthy quiz night.

Taylor Swift's 12th album theories explained by superfans
Taylor Swift has revealed she is set to release her twelfth album, which will be titled The Life of a Showgirl. The 35-year-old iconic singer is fresh off the back of the Eras Tour where she performed across the globe in one of the most impressive and highly publicised music tours ever. While the singer only released her eleventh album, The Tortured Poets Department, last year, she has stunned fans by announcing a new album is imminent. Enlisting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce, Swift teased her upcoming appearance on the brothers' mega-popular New Heights podcast with a clip announcing the album title. In the video, which was shared on Instagram at 12.12am ET on Tuesday, Taylor said: 'This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.' The cover art for the record remained obscured in the clip, but blurred images and clues suggest that a glittery orange will be the defining shade of this era, with Travis covered in golden confetti at the end of the clip. Travis exclaimed at the end of the snippet: 'TS12!' Fans have scrambled to work out some of the Easter eggs the star has dropped about the album so far, with a variety of plausible and completely far-fetched theories coming out of the woodwork. Here's a breakdown of some of the leading fan theories from Swifties. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Our Tay-Tay isn't afraid of a genre shift. Starting off as a country star, she moved into a more mainstream pop vibe, but has explored other genres throughout her music career. Her 'sister' albums, Folklore and Evermore, released in 2020 and 2021 respectively, had a more folksy feel, with her 2022 release Midnights changing the tempo for a more upbeat pop album. She brought things back to a mid-tempo emotional album with her blockbuster 31-song album, The Tortured Poets Department, in 2024. This will be Taylor's twelfth album (excluding live albums and Swift's remade albums). Orders for the album will be sent out before October 13. The album is called The Life of a Showgirl. The album is linked to the colours orange and green. Swiftie superfan and Metro music reporter, Danni Scott, told Metro that she thinks TS12 is set to be an upbeat pop album for a few reasons. 'Taylor tends to do a colourful pop album, and then her more deep-divey albums tend to be black and white or muted tones. So the glittery orange suggests it's going to be very poppy. She then reflected on the singer's Era's Tour and the use of orange in her wardrobe. 'I mean, on The Era's Tour, her most sort of glittery orange outfits were worn during Lover and 1989 and Midnight. I think if she were Easter egging, as she loves to do, those albums were the ones that had orange outfits.' Danni even suggested that the new album will be much like her fifth studio album, which was her most straightforward pop-heavy album. 'I think her sound has probably matured quite a lot since 1989, and I think Taylor is very chart hungry in this era that she is in. She knows anything she releases will go to the top of the charts, but I think she probably wants a bit of a safe bet, as Tortured Poets wasn't well reviewed when it initially came out, so my gut is saying we're gonna get 1989 but with deeper, more emotional songs.' She added: '1989 2.0. That's my prediction.' And Danni isn't alone in her pop-album hypothesis, with fans echoing her predictions online. 'The life of a showgirl is 1989s mature employed fun cool older sister I can just feel it,' said alIiesversion on X. The artwork remains a mystery, but it seems that the colours orange and green will be prominently featured. Taylor's website now displays a mysterious blurred orange and green cover, alongside options to purchase CD, cassette and vinyl versions of the album. Behind Taylor on the New Heights podcast set were several books with covers in orange hues. The books featured the works of modernist and neo-expressionist artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marc Chagall and Ruth Asawa, as well as abstract painter Mark Rothko. Fans also spotted that Taylor may have hinted at the colour scheme in her Midnights album when she released the music video for Anti-Hero. A grab from the video showed Taylor dressed in white with a bow in her hair, in keeping with her TTPD look, and another in an orange and green glittery showgirl look – could this be a The Life of A Showgirl hint? Along with the orange colour scheme, green has also been showcased on Taylor's website, with fans hypothesising that the two shades could have a deeper meaning. Some have suggested that the colours symbolise copper before and after oxidation – best highlighted by the Statue of Liberty. 'The colour scheme is copper oxidizing because a showgirl is on a pedestal for the world and over time, in the public eye they lose their shine… the weathering from being the target for the world's misogyny. #TheLifeOfAShowgirl' said fearlesskait on X. 'Exposure to air causes copper to oxidize, from orange to pale green. 'The Life of a Showgirl' is to be exposed to the world—to be put on a pedestal and observed as you change, judged as you lose your luster. Our tortured poet w/ the metaphors can't wait to listen! #taylorswift,' added camitwomeyy. Fans have spotted that searching 'Ts12' on TikTok results in orange confetti exploding across the screen. While the orange colour scheme of the album is all but confirmed now, it's a fun little addition for fans that adds to the excitement of the album's release. The Clean singer has hinted she has worked with Max Martin and Shellback on this album. Soon after the announcement landed, billboards appeared in New York and Nashville advertising the pop idol's new Spotify playlist, And, baby, that's show business for you. All 22 tracks are songs from her back catalogue produced by the two studio wizards, who she worked with on the albums Red, 1989, and Reputation, suggesting that they could be the makers of the new album. Additionally, the album features some of Taylor's most well-received pop hits, including 22, Blank Space, End Game, Style, Wildest Dreams, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Before announcing the title of her twelfth album, Taylor Nation, aka the Official Taylor Swift Social Team, shared 12 images of Taylor in orange costumes during her era tour. Many connected the dots that the number of images in the post was related to a new album release, but fans also couldn't help but notice that another singer made an appearance in the post. Sabrina, who performed on the Eras tour as an opening act appeared in the twelfth and final image of the post. Could this mean that she is set to appear in the twelfth song on the album? Or was her inclusion a red herring? Supporting the rumour that she might appear, Sabrina shared a carousel image on social media of herself hanging underwear. The July 7th post from Sabrina showed a number of pastel-coloured underwear, and a bright orange pair of knickers – could this be related to the main colour in Swift's new aesthetic? She also captioned the post: 'Go put on some clothes!' The quote was famously featured in one of the sketches between the two artists during the Eras Tour. Gigi Hadid then commented on the post: 'But daddy I have nothing to wear ! !' Fans immediately speculated that this was linked to Swift's song But Daddy I Love Him, assuming Gigi had insider knowledge. 'WHAT DO U KNOW GIGI?,' said Hometoswift. 'IS THAT A LYRIC GIGI ???????' said Candyce-ee on the post. An official release date has yet to be confirmed, but Taylor's website confirmed orders will be sent out before October 13. Of course, fans have already begun speculating about the actual release date. 'The life of a showgirl is coming 10th or 17th October,' said bejeweledress. More Trending One fan posted a thread on X about why they believe the album would be shared on September 12th, linking to the time the website crashed, the time the Taylor Nation post was shared. 'Taylor's website went down at exactly 9:12pm, commencing a countdown to the announcement!!' they said. 'Taylor Nation also first teased the era by a post 'Thinking about how she said see you next era' posted at exactly 9:12pm that same day.' 'So with all of this being said I think we can confidently say something is happening on the 12th whether it's a single, or the album.' We will have to wait and see! Got a story?

Plastic surgeons reveal what could be behind ICE Barbie Kristi Noem's changing face
Kristi Noem has turned heads with her polished, glamorous appearance. But the 53-year-old Homeland Security secretary was criticized over her looks in a recent South Park episode that showed her face melting off her body, in a jab at her alleged plastic surgeries. Now, two surgeons have revealed to whether they believe there is any truth to the claims. After reviewing photos of the 'ICE Barbie' over the years, both said she had likely invested in subtle tweaks using Botox to banish wrinkles and filler to plump her cheeks and lips. But much of her 'glow-up,' said the doctors, who have not seen Noem in person, was due to a change of style, which had veered from conservative to glamorous, deploying large, fake eyelashes, long wavy hair and heavier makeup. Both surgeons said they did not think she had gone under the knife for any more extreme procedures, such as a facelift or nose job. Dr Adam Rubinstein, a plastic surgeon in Florida, told this website: 'Kristi Noem is an attractive woman, both before and after any change to her appearance. 'What we are looking at in these pictures really is more of a glamorous makeover than a surgical makeover.' Dr Jimmy Sung, a plastic surgeon at Tribeca Aesthetics, told this website: 'If you think about it, these are the aesthetics that Trump likes... now known as the Mar-a-Lago look, where everything is just a bit exaggerated.' The plastic surgeons based their comments on photos and videos of the politician but did not examine her in person. Noem has never confirmed using Botox or fillers, and representatives for the politician did not respond to request for comment. But in March 2024 she did reveal she had received undisclosed cosmetic procedures on her teeth. In an advertisement for Smile Texas, a dental clinic, the former South Dakota governor said she needed work from the clinic to 'fix my teeth' after suffering a biking accident. She said: 'I'm the governor of South Dakota and [I] had the opportunity to come to Smile Texas to fix my teeth, which has been absolutely amazing. 'I want when people look at me to hear the words that I say and not be distracted by something that I'm wearing or how I look or even my appearance. 'I want them to focus on my thoughts and ideas and what we can do to really make this country better.' Stating that Noem had likely used filler, Dr Rubinstein said: 'Her cheeks are looking a little puffy compared to how she was before, and that is something that would normally be achieved with fillers. 'Her lips too, these wouldn't naturally get larger over time.' Dr Sung added: 'What really stands out to me is the cheek. 'That has either been achieved with a lot of filler into her face, or something called an injectable implant. I think that is possible because in videos her face often doesn't move that much.' An injectable cheek implant is a substance that is injected into the cheek to add volume. It is typically intended to be permanent or long-lasting, using a substance that remains stable and does not degrade over time. In contrast, fillers last only six to 18 months and gradually dissolve. Estimating how much filler she may have used, Dr Sung said: 'There's got to be 10 to 15 syringes in her face at any one time at least.' On average, patients receive about one to three syringes of filler every session, surgeons say. Other surgeons have previously suggested that Noem may have received a neck lift or mini facelift, where the skin around the cheeks and jawline is tightened. Dr Michael Niccole, a plastic surgeon at CosmetiCare Plastic Surgery Center in California, told celebrity news website Nicki Swift in March this year: 'She looks significantly refreshed and lifted, the skin on her neck appears tighter, her facial contours more defined, and her skin tone and texture are dramatically improved. 'It's likely she's undergone a neck lift and a mini facelift, possibly along with skin rejuvenation treatments like microneedling or a light erbium laser.' But the plastic surgeons who spoke to said this was unlikely because they could only see tightening in her jawline, which they said would be unusual for someone undergoing more invasive procedures. Dr Sung said her defined jawline was likely the result of fillers or threads, temporary sutures inserted under the skin to lift and tighten sagging skin. He added: 'This is clear to me because, with these procedures, you would typically tighten skin in other areas, like the neck, but that clearly isn't the case here.' The surgeons pointed to an apparent reduction in wrinkles on her forehead and around her mouth over time to suggest that she was likely using Botox or having filler injected into these areas. Aside from cosmetic procedures, after Trump won the presidency, Noem has reinvented her hair from a layered straight cut to long, voluminous waves. Her makeup was previously subdued, and her clothing was simple. But now, since transforming into her 'ICE Barbie persona', she has more dramatic makeup and less conservative clothing. Dr Sung said her appearance was now not dissimilar to other MAGA stars such as Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lara Trump. In the South Park episode, Noem is shown shooting several dogs as Botox melted off her face, in a reference to her admission that she once shot her dog. In another scene, the secretary's good looks disappear as she takes a bath, before a glam squad appeared to put her public face back on. It eventually concludes with Noem and ICE agents raiding heaven as her face melted and fell to the floor. She is also shown asking President Donald Trump whether he is trying to replace her, saying: 'Think I can't handle myself because I'm a lady with good looks that drive men wild?' Noem has since slammed the new South Park episode, saying on the Glenn Beck podcast that the show was 'lazy'. She said: 'I didn't get to see it; I was going over budget numbers. I just think it never ends, it's lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look. 'Always the liberals and extremists do that, if they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly, they can't. They just pick something petty like that.'

Emmerdale fan-favourite left devastated as he's attacked in early ITVX scenes
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX. Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) has been left utterly broken after being attacked in Emmerdale. We know that Vinny has been feeling overwhelmed and confused ever since he tried to kiss his friend Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah). Because he's currently engaged to Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) and hasn't previously expressed thoughts that he might not be straight, Vinny has been trying to ignore his feelings. As far as he was concerned, if he never addressed what was on his mind, it would eventually go away. But it hasn't. Following a chat with Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) about the benefits of support groups, Vinny found an LGBTQI+ one online. He ended up messaging a man called Mike, and even met up with him a couple of times. Vinny was comfortable around Mike, because he was led to believe they were both in similar boats. Sadly though, Mike's true side was revealed in this evening's episode – and his aim was not to help Vinny come to terms with his sexuality. At Vinny's house, Mike started to suggest that Vinny fancies him. He denied this and was confused, but Mike reckoned that Vinny had invited him over because he wanted them to sleep together. It was at this point Vinny started to realise that the man he had told some very private thoughts to was a completely different person in reality. He tried to run out of the house in fear, but Mike stopped him from leaving. The next time we saw Vinny he was getting brutally attacked by Mike. He was laying on the floor in tears, curled up and shaking, a shell of the man we've grown to love. Mike wanted money from Vinny, but he also spied the wedding rings on the side and was very interested in them. While this was happening, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) was just finishing a meeting with Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) about the wedding, but realised her phone was still in the house. She stood at the front door knocking for Vinny because it was locked, but he never came. Gabby got distracted in the end because Charles found the device, meaning she was completely oblivious as to what was going on. As the episode drew to a close, Vinny looked at himself in the mirror as he tried to come to terms with what had just happened. We then flashbacked to a few years ago, when Vinny's biological father Paul (Reece Dinsdale) would physically abuse him if he tried to stand up to his dad. Vinny stood in the house all alone in tears. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?
