During's today episode of the hit ITV programme on July 22, presenters Kate Garraway and Ed Balls updated viewers with the latest news stories from across the UK and the rest of the world.

This Morning's Emma Willis baffled as 'dinosaur egg' bought at car boot worth thousands
This Morning host Emma Willis was left speechless after finding out the whopping price of a guest's unusual item This Morning's Emma Willis was left speechless after an expert revealed the price of what was believed to be a dinosaur egg. During Thursday's (August 7) episode of the ITV hit daytime chat show, Emma Willis and Joel Dommett stepped up to the plate to present while Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard are on their summer break. And with car boot season in full swing, the duo were joined by pawnbroker Dan Hatfield, who was on hand to help viewers sort their trash and treasure. However it was one viewer's bizarre item that left Emma speechless after finding out the eye-watering valuation. This Morning viewer Susan appeared on the show via a video link and shared her 'unusual' item. Speaking to the hosts and Dan she said she believed she had a dinosaur egg that was passed on to her from her grandmother, who found the unique item at a car boot sale. A picture of the egg appeared on the screen, Joel was baffled as he asked: 'What is this, what is that?' Everyone burst out laughing as Dan jumped in: 'Joel is very confused.' The expert then joked: 'It kind of looks like a gone off jacket potato.' Joel replied: 'It doesn't look that great.' The TV presenter was not convinced that it was really a dinosaur egg as he asked: 'A dinosaur egg, who has a dinosaur egg. Do you think it's a dinosaur egg?' Emma jumped in: 'I mean I really want it to be.' Joel was keen to find out more as he asked Susan: 'So what is this?' Susan began to doubt herself as she replied: 'I don't really know but I wish I did know more. We've just grown up calling it a dinosaur egg.' Unsure of how much the egg was originally purchased for, Susan was keen to find out how much it could be worth today. Dan admitted: 'I can't tell for sure if this is a dinosaur egg without looking at it in person but does it have the signs of an egg, well it's in shape and brown like a fossil. I really want it to be and I believe it is a dinosaur egg.' The pawnbroker then left host Emma lost for words as he revealed: 'I bet good money on this being a dinosaur egg, in fact I bet about £2,000 on this being a dinosaur egg because that's how much they're worth.' A baffled Emma replied: 'I think the diversity of the things we cover on the show but this has left me... I don't know what to say, I literally don't.' Joel added: 'I think we need to get exclusive evidence if this is real or not so I think you need to go away Susan and get it scanned.'

Helen Flanagan's solo holiday with daughter who she 'can't give the energy' to
Helen Flanagan has headed off on holiday with her daughter Matilda, just weeks after admitting she can't give her the 'energy' that she wishes she could share with her Helen Flanagan has jetted abroad with her daughter, just weeks after explaining she can't give Matilda the "energy" she deserves. Just last month, the former Coronation Street actress explained she was always "preoccupied" with her son, Charlie, and believed that Matilda, nine, had been left out. But now, the 35-year-old has made time to spend with her daughter, with the pair jetting off to Italy to spend some quality time with one another. Helen, who found fame playing Rosie Webster on the ITV soap opera, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share a snap of the pair sitting in the airport, while she sipped on an orange juice, as her daughter enjoyed a hot chocolate. A later snap saw young Matilda kicking back on board an aeroplane as she flashed a peace sign, with Helen captioning her upload: "My love and happiness." It comes after pictures emerged of inside Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash's luxurious £30k family holiday at 'second home'. The former soap star explained how Matilda had "always been" her "best friend" due to her being the oldest child, at the age of nine. The trip comes as Helen is celebrating her 35th birthday, with the mother and daughter "dancing" into her big day throughout the night. As she made the most of their downtime, Helen told fans that it had "always" been her and Matilda as they soaked up the Italian sun and culture during their excursions. But while the trip is for Helen and her daughter, she did make sure to check in with her two younger children, Delilah, six, and son Charlie, four, as she shared screenshots from their FaceTime call. It comes after Helen took to social media to reflect on her motherhood journey, admitting she has found it "hard" recently. She said: "I've felt overwhelmed and stressed the majority of the time, and I want to get back to when im present and I'm really in it and I'm really enjoying it. I always wanted to be a mum. [sic] "I get mum guilt with Matilda as I feel like I'm always preoccupied with her brother, I can't give her the energy that I want to give her, and I feel like she always sees me at my worst. I also feel like she needs calm, which I can never be. Delilah, I feel like I'm getting it right with her, and I feel like our bond is tight, so that's something not to beat myself up about." Helen continued: "Charlie I could pull my hair out sometimes, I feel like I've got the male version of me. Co-parenting is hard and not being a team together, and not being able to talk about your anxieties and worries for the kids. "I suppose you can only do your best and be kind to yourself, but I wanted these on my grid for me as they make my soul happy." Despite Helen's concerns, fans were quick to compliment the star. "Juggling 3 kids is a super power I'm sure. U got this strong momma," said one. A second continued: "It's not easy with three! But you seem like you're doing an amazing job." This Morning's Ashley James responded: "Helen. You are the BEST mum. Kids are so lucky to have you. Usually when I feel short and snappy, I know it's time for a childfree break, even just a day to lie in and recharge and not talk to anyone! If that's possible at the moment."

Homelessness minister must resign over rent hike after tenants' exit, Tories say
Four tenants who rented a house in east London from Rushanara Ali were sent an email last November saying their lease would not be renewed, which also gave them four months' notice to leave, the i Paper reported. Ms Ali's property was then re-listed with a £700 rent increase within weeks, the newspaper said. Kevin Hollinrake, the Conservative party chairman, called for the minister to stand down, accusing her of 'staggering hypocrisy' over her handling of the rental property. A spokesperson for the minister said: 'Rushanara takes her responsibilities seriously and complied with all relevant legal requirements.' The house, rented on a fixed-term contract, was put up for sale while the tenants were living there, and it was only re-listed as a rental because it had not sold, according to the i Paper. Tory frontbencher Mr Hollinrake said: 'I think it shows staggering hypocrisy. Rushanara Ali has been somebody who's obviously a Government minister in charge of homelessness. 'She's spoken out about exploiting tenants, about providing more protections to tenants. 'You can't say those things, then do the opposite in practice, as a landlord. She's got to resign.' He said the conduct appeared to be 'unethical, not illegal' but 'we can't just say one thing and do another'. Kevin Hollinrake, the Conservative chairman, has called for Rushanara Ali to resign (James Manning/PA) The minister's actions have also faced scrutiny from rental rights campaigners, as the Government seeks to clamp down on what it sees as unfair rental practices. The Renters' Rights Bill includes measures to ban landlords who end a tenancy to sell a property from re-listing it for six months. The Bill, which is nearing its end stages of scrutiny in Parliament, will also abolish fixed-term tenancies and ensure landlords give four months' notice if they want to sell their property. Ben Twomey, chief executive of Generation Rent, described the allegations as 'shocking and a wake-up call to Government on the need to push ahead as quickly as possible to improve protections for renters'. He added: 'It is bad enough when any landlord turfs out their tenant to hike up the rent, or tries their luck with unfair claims on the deposit, but the minister responsible for homelessness knows only too well about the harm caused by this behaviour. 'These allegations highlight common practices that the Government can eradicate. 'The Renters' Rights Bill would ban landlords who evict tenants to sell the property from re-letting it within 12 months, to deter this kind of abuse – but unfortunately members of the House of Lords have voted to reduce this to six months. 'The Government can also use its review of the deposit protection system to penalise landlords who make exaggerated claims at the end of the tenancy.' Tom Darling, director at the Renters' Reform Coalition, said: 'It's mind-boggling that we have a homelessness minister who has just evicted four people in order to rake in more rent – something that will soon be illegal under the Renters' Rights Bill her own department is bringing through Parliament. 'The Government are currently considering an amendment to the legislation from the House of Lords which reduces the ban on re-letting after eviction from 12 months to six months. 'The Government must remove this amendment, and at the very least minister Ali must recuse herself from any discussions on this within Government.' Speaking to broadcasters, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper insisted Ms Ali had not breached any rules. 'I don't know any of the details of this, but I understand that she has followed all of the rules in this case,' Ms Cooper said.
