Influencer who spent £1MILLION on plastic surgery claims she's now been kicked off dating apps for being 'too beautiful'
An influencer who claims she was blocked on dating apps for being 'too beautiful' has revealed she's been forced to look for love in the offline world.
Janaina Prazeres, 35, says her appearance was considered 'too good to be true' by the algorithms and users of the apps, who reported her profile.
The Brazilian model previously revealed she spent almost £1million on plastic surgery in a bid to become the world's 'most perfect woman'.
In an interview with Glamour Bulgaria, she said she created three different accounts, but was blocked each time, claiming that being 'too pretty' is 'exhausting'.
'At first, I thought it was a bug,' she told the outlet. 'But after creating three different accounts and being kicked off all of them, I realised something else was happening.
'They just said my account appeared inauthentic. I tried to appeal, but never got a response.'
The dating platform - which she did not specify - cited guideline violations but never specified the reason.
As a result, she decided to ditch the apps and return to traditional flirting.
'I went back to doing what our parents did. Casual conversations, eye contact...' she shared.
Janaina, who has nearly 900,000 followers on Instagram, has been under the knife 20 times - spending a staggering £758,000 to enhance her appearance.
Among the many procedures she's undergone over the years, Prazares has had a full facial 'harmonisation' and fillers, multiple rhinoplasties, a Brazilian Butt Lift, and a body lift costing around £66,000.
However, her old, faded passport photo exhibits the model in a more natural state, with a distinctly darker hair colour, a slightly wider nose, a less 'chiselled' face shape and lighter make-up.
During a recent international flight she was temporarily held at immigration upon arriving at Brazil after agents questioned the validity of her passport.
She alleged officers detained her for 40 minutes while questioning her identity at Sao Paolo International Airport, where she had planned to board a flight to the U.S.
She said: 'I always thought this might happen at some point, because my appearance has changed significantly over the years.
'But still, it was a shock - you never expect to be stopped at the airport when you've done nothing wrong.
'Officers asked several questions and even compared my photo with other images before granting me entry into the country.'
Admitting it was 'embarrassing', she renewed her passport with an updated photo when she was eventually let through the gates.
Prazeres said: 'I didn't want to go through that kind of embarrassment again.
'As soon as I arrived at my destination, I started looking into what I needed to get a new document with a more recent photo.'
The model warned: 'Perfection has its price.'
Prazeres was voted the 'Perfect Woman' by Playboy in Norway in 2023, after spending $300,000 at the time on plastic surgery.
After receiving the accolade from the famous adult magazine, she spoke out about how she's gone under the knife several times.
The Brazilian native believes being beautiful is 'the secret to a better life,' adding: 'I love feeling more beautiful - I always try to make my self-esteem high.'
The model reiterates that it is necessary to always choose a path with beneficial results for the body and the soul
Janaina's makeover: Some of the cosmetic procedures Playboy's 'Perfect Woman' has undergone
Liposuction
High-definition liposuction
Two nose jobs
Boob jobs
Buttock bioplasty (also known as a Brazilian butt lift or BBL)
Facial bioplasty (also known as filler)
Rib bone removed
'This is the secret to a better life. So if I can invest in [my beauty] I don't save.'
Janaina has also undergone non-invasive procedures.
'We have to take advantage of what medicine offers,' the model said. 'Choosing to have surgery is a strategy as I am unable to dedicate myself to dieting.
'I tried different diets and realized that some help immediately, but for me it is not advantageous.
'They are very regimented and become difficult to fit into the routine.
'I think the scalpel solves everything easier - the diet requires us to adapt to a new lifestyle and I'm not willing to do that.'
The model reiterates that it is necessary to always choose a path with beneficial results for the body and the soul.
Janaina revealed previously that she has weekly appointments with a psychologist.
'I think it's essential to go to therapy. It's an incredible and effective methodology,' she shared.
'The most important thing is to have care and love for ourselves and not be so critical.
'Looking at the good side of life is always persisting in our dreams.'
Janaina also takes part in bodybuilding, cardio training and electrical stimulation, and has a personal trainer to help her gain muscle.
'I eat balanced meals, with proteins, vegetables and carbohydrates,' she said.
'I avoid soft drinks and sugar but I can't do without fast food. I like doing my surgeries but I don't abandon my body.'
Elsewhere during her Glamour interview, Janaina revealed she started modelling at 18, but the Playboy Norway campaign was when her career really got a 'big boost'.
As for the future, she said she's excited to venture into the 'business world' and see where her new path will take her.

How my ‘perfect' beauty regime exposed my ex as a cheating rat – what his other woman did is totally unforgivable
AN influencer has shared the peculiar way she found out her love rat ex was cheating – by the other woman using her skincare cream. Wanessa Moura has a strict morning beauty routine and often likes to share tips and tricks with her 1.3m Instagram followers. 6 6 6 Her products are all carefully organised in her bathroom. This attention to detail helped her identify that one of her former boyfriends was a two-timer. When returning from a work trip, the 31-year-old noticed that one of her face creams was running low and her carefully arranged products had been 'messed' with. 'I'm obsessed with organisation,' Wanessa, who has even launched her own skincare range, told NeedToKnow. 'I know exactly how much is left of each cream, where every bottle goes, what's sealed, what's half-used. 'When I saw one of the jars with a loose cap and a different texture, I knew someone had touched it. 'And it wasn't me.' Wanessa claims she had given her ex a key to her place, but knew he wasn't the 'vain' type, so it was highly unlikely that he had touched the cream. She said, 'Someone had messed with my products, and I knew something was wrong. 'He [my ex] would never know how to use that stuff on his own. 'He was the rough type, you know? The kind who thought anything beyond soap was nonsense, and who wouldn't even wear sunscreen or moisturiser. 'He took pride in never putting anything on his face. 'That's why, when I noticed my products had been used correctly, I got suspicious right away. 'My ex wouldn't even know how to open the jar, let alone apply the under-eye cream properly.' Unable to let the incident go, Wanessa, who hails from Brazil, confronted her ex. When pressed for answers, he confessed. Wanessa added: ' He cheated on me, and the mistress left with glowing skin. It's absurd! 'The relationship ended right then and there, of course. 'But to this day, I'm furious. 'Being cheated on is already bad enough. 6 6 'But using my expensive products without permission? 'That, to me, is unforgivable.' This isn't the only beauty-related incident that the influencer has dealt with. Last year, she claimed that another one of her exes was so vain that she would spend more time getting ready than she did. At the time, Wanessa said: 'He started spending absurd amounts on beauty products and even using mine. 'Facial care is important, and I love that men take care of themselves, but when he starts spending more on aesthetics than I do, something is wrong.' Four red flags your partner is cheating Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating. They start to take their phone everywhere with them In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something. Aaron says: "If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful." "You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something." They start telling you less about their day When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you. "If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag." "Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron. Their libido changes Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron. Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before." They become negative towards you Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify. "To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron.

Katie Price shocks fans with her extremely taut face as she advertises CBD oil in new video
Katie Price shocked fans with her extremely taut faceas she appeared in a new video promoting CBD oil. The former glamour model, 47, has recently sparked concern among her fanbase over her thin appearance and has denied using weight loss jabs. But she drew further discussion with her latest clip as social media users were left shocked over her appearance. In the video, Katie exhaulted the benefits of brand SupremeCBD, telling fans it 'really does work'. Alongside the clip, she added: 'Honestly you will all thank me for the recommendation, let me know in the comments if you have tried it!' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant that can be extracted and used in various forms, like oil, capsules, or edibles. It is a popular supplement used for various purposes, including pain management, anxiety relief, and sleep improvement. But many fans were less concerned with the oil and more concerned about Katie's appearance as they took to the comments. They wrote: 'I really hope she will stop having more surgeries.' 'Should never have messed with her lips and fox eyes. She was so naturally beautiful.' 'What's happened to her face?'... 'She needs prayers folks'. This year Katie revealed she had undergone her 16th boob job as she previously revealed she desired to be the 'biggest in Britain'. Following her confession, Katie checked herself into the Be Clinic in Belgium for the procedure - opting for 2,120 cc implants. Since she burst onto the modelling scene, Katie has had 16 boob jobs - including both augmentation and reduction surgeries. She has also had three Brazilian bum lifts, a rhinoplasty, and six facelifts. Katie is a frequent flyer to Turkey and Belgium and self-appointed ambassador for body modification And she has dramatically altered her appearance every year - and, often, multiple times in a single year. The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant showed off her new teeth - just days after her fans were left shocked by her dramatic weight loss. Fans have shared their concern with the star as they have regularly pleaded with the performer to seek some advice from a professional. In January, the mother-of-five flew abroad for 'tweaks' to her sixth £10,000 facelift and documented the trip for a new YouTube video. Filming herself reacting to the clips, she looked at herself getting prepared for theatre and mused: 'I'm so ugly there - that was before my surgery.' Reflecting on her appearance pre-surgery, she said she looked 'very skinny and gaunt' and marvelled at the size of her breasts, revealing she plans to have more surgery on her assets in the future. Watching herself signing the consent form she confessed: 'I'm not not reading, just signing, I want to get in and get surgery done,' before adding: 'I actually look really fake and disgusting.' Despite fan concerns Katie recently insisted she is in 'a really good place' after cleaning up her diet. She explained how eating the wrong foods had left her 'puffy' and people got used to seeing her 'bigger' over recent years. Following her weight loss, she has been questioned by fans as to whether she has been taking Ozempic injections or similar, which she has denied on multiple occasions. Reiterating that she dropped the pounds naturally, Katie said that she simply 'watches what she eats' and does more exercise. Speaking in an interview with The Sun, she explained: 'I was eating the wrong things. 'Potatoes pasta, carbs, they just puffed me up and made me fart but I've cleaned up my diet a lot and eat better things so now I don't fart.' The many faces of Katie Price: A look back at star's changing features She instantly became a pop culture icon after bursting into the public eye as loudmouthed Page 3 girl, Jordan. Having tried her hand at modelling, singing, presenting, campaigning and reality TV, the glamour model quickly became a household name in Britain. Yet while Katie Price 's moniker will ring a bell for both young and old, you would be forgiven for not recognising the star on sight alone, with Katie famously undergoing numerous cosmetic procedures over the years. After two decades in the spotlight, Katie is almost unrecognisable from the naturally pretty teenager who burst on to the modelling scene at the age of 16, with her natural curls and fresh-faced beauty winning her an army of fans. Katie, now 46, has undergone an array of procedures over the years, including rhinoplasty, a silhouette facelift, 3D, veneers, lip fillers and Botox, culminating in her first facelift in 2017. Now, after two decades under the surgeon's scalpel, MailOnline takes a look at the many faces of Katie Price. 1995 - Barefaced beauty At the age of 17, Katie Price was a fresh-faced natural beauty looking to make it into the world of glamour modelling. At a friend's suggestion, the teenager had professional photographs taken and was quickly snapped up by a modelling agency who landed her a Page 3 slot in The Sun newspaper the following year, sparking the creation of her glamour model alter ego, Jordan. Speaking last year, Katie revealed she was glad that she wasn't exposed to social media at the time as she had 'no idea what Botox was or fillers', otherwise she may have started her tweaks and enhancements at an even earlier age. 1998 - First boob job Having just turned 20, the rising glamour model experienced her first taste of cosmetic surgery, boosting her 32B cup breasts to a 32C. The procedure cost £4,500 and it's thought her mum Amy and stepdad Paul helped pay for her to have the procedure. Katie has since spoken out about her decision to go under the knife, admitting she was 'too young' and that she feels sorry for young girls growing up these days in a world of social media and filters. 1999 - Second and third boob job Despite having only just increased her breast size, Katie opted to have two more procedures the following year at the age of 21. Katie boosted her bust from a C cup to a D cup and just a few months later went up again to a F cup. Katie has previously claimed that she has only paid for two of her boob jobs over the course of her career - it is not known if these were the ones. 2001 - Lip fillers At the age of 21, Katie had her first cosmetic procedure on her face, opting for lip fillers. While the glamour model did not confirm the rumours at the time, she was seen sporting a noticeably fuller pout while out enjoying the party scene. Her overall look had also started drastically transforming, with the model sporting dramatic false lashes, bright lipstick and pale hair extensions. 2004 - Botox Aged 26, Katie began to experiment with Botox injections that relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and wrinkles. She made no secret of her love of the procedure, announcing at the time: 'I get my forehead and around my eyes Botoxed every six months and I love it. You can't beat it. It just freezes all the wrinkles and that's what you want.' At the time, Katie insisted she would never take things further and have a facelift, explaining: 'I'd never have a full facelift. I've seen what they can do to people and I don't want to go through that.' 2006 - Fourth boob job Katie went under the knife yet again to take her F cup breasts up to a G cup. The glamour model also played around with her overall look and embraced her dark side with a new brunette hairstyle. She also continued to dabble with fillers and Botox. 2007 - First nose job and veneers At the age of 29, Katie took her love of surgery to the next level, undergoing rhinoplasty, a chemical peel and treating herself to a £25,000 set of new veneers. 'Oh my God, it burned like hell!' she said at the time. 'The next day I had this hideous red rash on my chin but two days later there wasn't a single spot left.' Speaking about her nose job at the time, she admitted to liking her original nose, explaining: 'I liked my nose before and now. If I had a cupboard with both noses, I would alternate between them!' 2008 - Fifth boob job Despite gradually increasingly her bust size over the year, Katie fancied a change on her 30th and brought her bra size back down from an F cup to a C cup. The procedure meant that Katie had returned to the size of her first boob job 10 years prior. Katie's changing shape also coincided with the launch of her first clothing line - an equestrian range. 2011 - Sixth boob job Katie's smaller chest didn't last long, and at age 33 she went back under the knife again to boost her bust to an F cup. Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers. The Loose Women panelist admitted that she loved having her cheeks filled to give her a 'plumper, more youthful look'. 2015 - Seventh and eighth boob job Just before appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, the reality star had a botched boob reduction that left her with a hole in her breast and an implant protruding from her flesh. Katie told her shocked housemates: 'I've got no tits anymore. They've gone. There's not even anything there. If you saw what I'm like underneath. The scar's gone septic. My whole implant was hanging out on New Year's Day.' Shortly after leaving the Big Brother house she underwent corrective surgery and had her implants swapped for a D-cup. 2016 - Ninth boob job and tattooed makeup Despite her surgery horror the year before, Katie was undeterred and flew to a Brussels clinic to go under the knife yet again, this time settling on a 32GG bust. The reality star also had her eyebrows and lips tattooed, also known as 'permanent make-up', explaining that she prefers to go make-up free on a day-to-day basis. Additionally the star has regular facial treatments, last year sharing a bloodied selfie after having a dermal roller micro-needling treatment, which sees a dermaroller with many tiny needles rolled across into the skin - designed to stimulate cells into regeneration. 2017 - First face lift, new veneers and 10th boob job Despite insisting she would never have a face lift and could rely on Botox, Katie went back on her word undergoing a 'Silhouette' face lift. The procedure is designed to lift a sagging cheeks and blurred jawline, using 'sutures' implanted under the skin to sculpt features. However, Katie was soon spotted with puffy features, revealing that she suffered an allergic reaction to anesthetic penicillin after having further work on her veneers. She also had her breast implants reduced from 1000ml implants to 795ml. 2018 - Second face lift Katie claimed her first face lift had been a botched job and went back under the knife the following year aged 40 to correct it. She said at the time 'I need to get my face re-corrected after surgeon has totally f**ked my face up', admitting it had He agent added: 'She had the thread and it really quite distorted her look. She got a lot of backlash, a lot of negative press, a lot of trolling, everyone saying she'd taken it too far, when actually it was a job that had not gone to plan.' 2019 - Third face lift, boob job first Brazilian bum lift and 11th boob job Katie jetted to Turkey to overhaul her entire look with a full body transformation. The reality star opted for a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift along with a tummy tuck. Just three months later she returned to the clinic and opted for another boob job, going back down to a D cup. 2020 - 12th boob job and another set of veneers Katie returned to Turkey to have another set of veneers and revealed her real teeth had been reduced to stubs as she flashed a smile on her YouTube channel. The mother-of-five then jetted to Belgium to correct botched surgery on her breasts, saying her surgeon was utterly shocked by the 'awful' previous procedure. Katie said: 'They looked deformed, they were absolutely awful. That's the first time I've gone to a different surgeon. I had to go back to Frank with my head down, ashamed that I'd been to another clinic.' 2021 - Liposuction, eye and lid lifts and 13th boob job Amid the Covid pandemic, Katie jetted off to then red-list Turkey for a complete cosmetic surgery overhaul, undergoing full body liposuction, eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, and fat injected into her bum. The reality star also visited Belgium to have her 13th boob job as well as full body liposuction with bum fat removal. The plastic surgery - performed by Dr Frank Plovier - came just five days ahead of the glamour model's sentencing for her shocking drink-drive crash. 2022 - Another brow and eye lift Katie secretly jetted back to Belgium at the beginning of 2022 for an eye and brow lift and had been concealing her new look with her head in a bandage. Dr Judy Todd, an aesthetic doctor at Clinica Medica in Glasgow, said: 'It appears like she's had a face lift, temporal brow lift, and possibly an upper blepharoplasty.' It was reported last month that Katie plans to travel to Turkey imminently for yet more plastic surgery, amid claims she wanted to get some tweaks in after being unhappy with her latest work. Sian Dellar, Brow Specialist and Founder of Sian Dellar Permanent Makeup Clinic, added: 'Katie's eyebrows, like the rest of her, have changed lots over the years! 'Back in the 90's she had a very thin over plucked brow which was the fashion at the time, and today she has an extremely thick and unnatural looking brow. 'Currently it seems the face or eye lift that she's had have pulled her brows outward which looks unnatural and makes the brows appear almost stretched. 'Of course, as with any enhancement, it's personal preference but we recommend not going too many shades darker, and keeping the shape as natural looking as possible and work to create or enhance brows to frame the face. 'Katie's choice to have them so thick and dark and in that unusual positioning means they dominate her face and are the first thing the eye is drawn to. I would love to see Katie take her brows back to 2015/2016 when the fuller brow became a big trend. She got it right then and they framed her face well.' 2023 - 16th and 'biggest ever' boob job It's not clear if Katie lost track of the number of breast augmentations or opted to keep some of her surgery private but by 2023 it emerged she'd undergone her 16th boob job, two years after claiming to be on her 13th. The star went under the knife in a bid to have the 'biggest in Britain' and was subsequently pictured being wheeled into surgery at the Be Clinic in Belgium. She is said to have wanted even bigger breasts, opting for 2120 CC implants in a bid to boost her already large bust size. Katie told OK! magazine of her boobs: 'I love them. They healed really quickly and they didn't hurt at all. That probably doesn't help. Because I heal quickly, it doesn't put me off and I have more. 'I would go bigger as well – and I will eventually. I just love having big boobs and a small body. I've always loved that look. In my eyes, if I'm having a boob job, I want them to look fake, I don't want them to look natural. I don't like the natural look. 'I just like that old-school American Playboy pin-up look. When I have surgery, that is what I'm striving for. If I could look like my airbrushed pictures, that would be amazing. But that's impossible to achieve.' 2024 - MORE facial surgery In July 2024 Katie confirmed she is travelling to Turkey for facial surgery, to be filmed for a new documentary, after failing to attend a bankruptcy hearing. The former glamour model was absent at a scheduled £760,000 bankruptcy court hearing having flown overseas for her latest cosmetic procedure. A warrant was subsequently issued, with Katie admitting she's 'doing the best she can' to rectify her financial issues after receiving 'very clear warnings' that she needed to attend court.

Meghan's theme park snap proves she is a cosplay Diana… the contrast between the two couldn't be more different
PRINCESS Diana was the world's first influencer. What she wore, women followed (only last year one of her dresses sold at auction for £900,000), what she championed, we believed, and how she exercised — the gym — made it acceptable for non-sportswomen to lift weights. 7 7 7 Now, with a newly bolstered PR team behind her, Meghan Markle is attempting to follow in her late mother-in-law's size 7s. Last week Meg's ruthless Diana cosplay came to a head. The privacy-loving star, who bravely fled to sun-kissed California to escape pubic scrutiny, posted a series of Instagram posts, documenting her private family's trip to secluded Disneyland for daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday. One photo recreated one of Diana's most famous, and endearing, pics — that of her getting soaked on Thorpe Park's Log Flume in the Nineties It is just the latest in what appears to be a concerted, some might say cynical, Diana-inspired publicity drive. Facing an uphill battle in her bid to become the People's (excommunicated) Princess, over the past few months Meghan has gone into overdrive with her comms team. Indeed, she now has enough sycophantic staff to field a football team. Last month, Forbes reported the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had added an entire PR agency, Method Communications, to their roster, and appointed a new director of comms. It comes weeks after grandiose Meghan appointed a chief of staff, as if she were operating out of the White House, not Disney. She also has spokespeople based in both London and LA. It is hardly a coincidence, then, that her latest push for global impact has seen her mirroring the late, great Princess Di. (A woman who, TBF, I believe would have adored Meghan.) Meghan Markle Expands As Ever: From Lifestyle Brand to Hospitality Empire Meg has long worn her priceless Cartier Tank watch — a gift from Harry — but in February the cosplaying really began. First came a near-identical purple Midwestern college sweatshirt, and then more recently the feverish Insta activity. Last week her widely-debated, labour-inducing hospital twerk alongside hoody-wearing Harry could be compared to ballet-loving Diana's infamous 1985 dance with Wayne Sleep. Just as Diana's twirls made global headlines — infuriating then husband Charles at the same time — so Meghan's slut-dropping divided royal fans. Unquestionably the American actress, who appears to have put her philanthropic efforts on the back burner, is now an influencer. She reportedly plans to bring out a nice rose soon. Meghan's Oprah was Diana's Martin Bashir — except the latter was tricked into going on national television to tell all. Meghan hopped on that garden wicker chair quicker than you can say 'Mickey Mouse'. Single-handedly reversed public opinion While Diana certainly courted the Press at times, she also, certainly in the case of her 1997 landmine walk, put herself on the front line to do good. She shook the hands of Aids patients at a time when people were cruelly demonising those with HIV, and single-handedly reversed public opinion. In contrast, Meghan and Harry preach about climate change and then hop on a pal's private jet. Meghan bemoans socio-economic inequality while living in a 16-bathroomed Montecito mansion, and wearing Oscar de la Renta. She now even gets a percentage of profits made from the wares she flogged. The other problem is Meghan, who has now become a mononym — putting herself in the same category as, say Madonna, Adele and Beyonce — has 3.7million Instagram followers. More supporters Madonna, Adele and Beyonce have 20million, 58million and 311million followers respectively. Vicky Pattison (5.4million), Ekin Su Culculoglu (4.2million) and Maura Higgins (4.1million) all have more supporters than Suits' most famous export. In the words of one royalist on X: 'You wanted the crown without the class. You wanted the fame without the responsibility. 'Don't cry for respect when you're out here pimping your title & twerking for clicks like a fame-hungry influencer with delusions of grandeur. 'Now all that's left is a royal mess in heels, still trying to play duchess while behaving like an influencer on a bachelorette trip.' Quite. A PETITION has started to remove a madman/woman from TikTok. A trans woman, who now goes by the name of Lily Tino, is infamous for her videos in which she tried to get misgendered in public in order to shame restaurant staff. Now she has started taking selfies in women's bathrooms, rating them out of ten. When 99.9 per cent of trans people are kind, normal and decent, and just trying to live quiet lives, it's attention-seeking idiots like this who let down their community. BUTTER BETTER BUTTER should sue its old PR company. For years it's been maligned as some sort of short-cut to obesity, and a one-way street to Heart Attack City. Margarines like Utterly Butterly and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter reigned supreme in the Nineties while olive oil has been the fat du jour for the past 20 years. Poor ol' butter has been demonised. Now, finally, a US study shows a teaspoon a day reduces your chances of getting both heart disease and type 2 diabetes. TBF, TikTokkers – and those on the carnivore or animal diets – have been waxing lyrical about the benefits for years. There's even a whole raft of extreme influencers who eat a tub of butter daily, documenting their 'journeys'. Go check one out if you want to feel mildly sick. A GOOD CALL ON PHONES IN last week's column I bemoaned my terrible screen time, and warned that mobile phone addiction would be the biggest epidemic to hit Generations Z and Alpha unless more action is taken now to protect young people. Loads of you wrote in, sharing your own concerns. Now, a coalition of 21 schools, nurseries and colleges in London has written to families, urging parents to reduce their own – and their kids' – screen times. The letter, sent to the families of more than 11,000 children, is an unprecedented intervention – but a necessary one. Now the Government must step up, too. BADDIE TOM IS GOODIE FINALLY, some common sense from a Harry Potter former child star. Eminently likeable Tom Felton, who played baddie Draco Malfoy, has refused to slam JK Rowling. 7 Refusing to bite the hand that fed him – making him a millionaire global movie star in the process – he insisted her views on gender identity did not 'affect' him. 'The only thing I always remind myself is that I've been lucky enough to travel the world,' he told Variety. 'Here I am in New York, and I have not seen anything bring the world together more than Potter, and she's responsible for that. So I'm incredibly grateful.' Take note, kids. LEFT IN FIX BY SCAM YOU never think it's going to happen to you, until it happens to you. Yes, dear reader, watching countless Netflix documentaries and ITV dramas about silly men and women getting taken for a ride I appear to have been taken for a ride. 7 A couple of weeks ago my key got jammed in my lock and I googled a locksmith to come out and fix it. He arrived in an unmarked car, and proceeded to as if 'I rented or owned' and 'lived alone', and then told me that, unfortunately, as bad luck would have it, I had an exceptionally complicated lock. Then, £1,117 later, the f***er left. I had a little cry. The company, for those interested, was called Masterit. A quick Google search would have told me they have unanimously terrible reviews online, and have apparently exploited countless other poor/stupid souls. Obviously they won't now respond to emails or calls, and my insurance company will only pay out £200. I feel like a fool. HONESTLY, I PREFERRED THE ORIGINAL 7 7
