Kim Woodburn dies after short illness as beloved husband and co-star Aggie break silence
This morning, our showbiz team broke the heartbreaking news that Kim Woodburn had died aged 83. The Celebrity Big Brother and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here icon, who shot to stardom for her no-nonsense attitude and witticisms on Channel 4 's How Clean Is Your House with Aggie MacKenzie, died on Monday.
Her beloved husband-of-46-years Peter, who she lived with in their Nantwich, Cheshire home, is "heartbroken" over the loss of his soulmate. She was described as an "incredibly kind, caring, charismatic and strong person" by her loved ones, who were "so proud" of what she achieved in her career.
A representative for Kim shared in a statement: "It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved Kim Woodburn passed away yesterday following a short illness."
'Murder' victim found in exploded house named as 'lovely' human rights lawyer
A beloved mother-of-two and human rights lawyer has been identified as the woman found with fatal stab wounds after a house explosion this morning. A huge emergency response including six fire engines and 40 firefighters raced to the two-storey terraced house where an explosion had torn through the basement and ground floor of the east London residence.
The victim has been formally identified as 46-year-old mother and human rights lawyer Annabel Rook, whose body was found with knife wound injuries after the explosion. Police arrested an as yet unidentified 44-year-old male on suspicion of murder before taking him to a major trauma centre in London for slash wound treatment. His injuries were not life-threatening, police said.
Neighbours told The Mirror: 'She was a lovely lady - a very doting mother. I would always see her walking to school with her children. They go to school just around the corner."
'I drove 90 minutes to eat at Jeremy Clarkson's pub — two words summed it up'
Nobody could have quite imagined the success Amazon would see after releasing Clarkson's Farm. However, fast forward to 2025, the former Top Gear star's agriculture show has just finished its fourth series, with a fifth series already on the way.
This season saw Jeremy Clarkson invest in a pub, The Farmer's Dog, so our Deputy Content Hub Director, Steffan Rhys, went to go and check it out. He wrote: "There was a full-blown security and parking operation guiding arrivals into an enormous adjacent field with hundreds, if not thousands, of cars already parked in it. Visitors streamed like ants in formation between car park and pub and the stunned "bloody hell!" I heard from a fellow visitor pretty much sums up what I was thinking too.
"I'd naively thought that, given I had a lunch reservation (secured easily, several weeks earlier, on the pub website) it would be a quiet affair. After all, only so many people can fit in a pub, right? Wrong. Oh, so wrong."
Killer who stabbed his partner, neighbour and dog on Christmas Day learns fate
A man who murdered his partner and neighbour and tried to kill his own son in an unprovoked and 'frenzied' attack after taking cocaine on Christmas Day has been jailed for life. Jazwell Brown attacked his partner Joanne Pearson with a kitchen knife at their home in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, at around 6.30pm on December 25 last year.
He stabbed her 31 times before turning the knife and a baseball bat on his son Jake Brown, with the youngster remarkably surviving his injuries. Brown went on to repeatedly stab Jo's dog Tilly, a Staffordshire bull terrier, who was later spotted on CCTV limping from the scene.
Brown then headed next door to another flat and began attacking Teohna Grant. He also stabbed Teohna's boyfriend 29-year-old Bradley Latter who survived, while Teohna was also pronounced dead at the scene. Police previously said the dog had died, but they have since been informed Tilly survived.
'LEAKED' Premier League fixtures for 2025-26 season - but fans spot major issues
As many football fans await the Premier League 's return, our sports team got their hands on a reportedly 'leaked' list of Premier League fixtures for the 2025-26 season. However, the list - which has been leaked and widely shared on social media platforms - is not as it seems.
As is the case at this time of year, amid growing anticipation among supporters, social media has been awash with claims and fixtures coming to light early. One set in particular have been gaining quite a bit of traction. On the face of it, they look pretty legit. The usual font and layout used when the fixtures are actually released is certainly present.
But dig a little deeper and issues arise. Most notable among them are a number of admin errors which, perhaps if you're only casting a casual glance and looking at the opening weekend, or even just for your club's full list, you wouldn't see.

Cruz and Romeo Beckham's aimed posts as Victoria is 'disgusted' by Brooklyn
Romeo Beckham and his younger brother Cruz have both shared cryptic social media posts about 'family' as the fallout from Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's snub continues Brooklyn Beckham 's younger brothers have taken to social media to share a series of cryptic posts about "family" and being "vain" amid the ongoing family drama. It comes as Victoria and other family members have reportedly been left "disgusted". The eldest of the clan Brooklyn, 26, snubbed his dad David's 50th birthday celebrations and the news he will be awarded a knighthood. Romeo, 22, whose ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull recently broke her silence on the feud, has been hinting at his true feelings. He posted about "unnecessary lies" just hours after Kim's post. On Instagram, he shared a photo of him and a pal, labelling it "family" with a crossed fingers emoji, reports the Mirror. Romeo also then shared a series of throwback photos of his parents, David and Victoria in their younger days, including some with a pram or one of their sons. Similarly, his younger brother Cruz shared a cryptic screenshot of the Carly Simon hit "You're So Vain", followed by a poster with the lyrics: "If I would stick my pen in my heart/ Spill it all over the stage/ Would it satisfy you?" The social media posts from the brothers come as David's significant knighthood achievement continues to be overshadowed by their fallout with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30. David Beckham is set to receive a prestigious honour at Buckingham Palace later this year, but the glow of achievement may be somewhat dimmed as reports suggest his son Brooklyn and daughter-in-law Nicola will not be present. While David will enjoy the support of Victoria, 51, and their children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, it's believed Brooklyn will give his dads momentous day a miss. "Sadly there's no question of Brooklyn being involved. The whole family is disgusted with him. It's left a very dark cloud over everyone at the worst possible time. Barring some sort of miracle, there's no way that Brooklyn is going to show up," a source disclosed to Heat Magazine. Despite the other children sharing and celebrating David's momentous occasion on social media, Brooklyn's silence did not go unnoticed during his father's realisation of a lifelong dream. This apparent disregard has especially angered Victoria, who is said to be livid with her eldest son and deeply upset by his inaction. "The whole family is devastated by the current situation. The tension had been there for a while but no-one thought in a million years that it would turn this toxic. Victoria can't fathom why Brooklyn hasn't been in touch to apologise. She's furious with him, but also heartbroken," revealed the insider. Victoria Beckham couldn't contain her joy as she paid tribute to her husband David after the news of his knighthood was announced. The former Spice Girl shared a heartfelt post on social media, uploading an adorable snap of the two and writing, "You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham! ! ! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you." She added, "Your dedication to the things that matter most - your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family - has never wavered. The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us every day. But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx".
