Influencer hospitalised after being attacked by two Rottweilers who were off a leash at the beach
TikTok star Claire Champion shared a clip to the social media platform on Monday in which she revealed how terrified she was by the encounter.
'I am not okay, I have come out of hospital at 4pm after taking my dog for a walk this morning. We were approached by two rottweilers who were off their leash,' she began.
Claire added her dog appeared terrified by the encounter, as they tried to escape without harm.
'We were walking down a nature strip near the off-leash dog beach. My dog is super-reactive, I pull her back in... The [owner] sees this and calls over the dogs, who see us and start running over,' she added.

'I picked my dog up, just bracing for it, thinking this is going to be so bad. The dog comes around, faces us and steps forward.
Claire added she gave the rottweilers a warning to back off but instead it escalated the situation.
'I kicked the dog in the chest, I was like, "No!" My dog Billie let out a little bark, before I knew it I was on the ground with her underneath me, trying to shelter her from these dogs,' she tearfully recounted.
'All I could think about was protecting her. All I can remember is screaming, "no, no, no" as they bit Billie's legs. I fully blacked out.'
She added she realised she was injured when she inspected her body.
'I look at my hand and there is blood dripping down it. I told the owner I need to go to hospital,' she said.
'I have to go in for day surgery tomorrow to get my hand opened back up and properly cleaned. The cut is all the way to the bone.
'I'm probably going to have to get both fingernails removed because they have been compromised by teeth. The doctors are really worried about infection.
Claire added she didn't blame the rottweiler dogs for what happened but instead saw it as the fault of their owner.
'It was not their fault, it was complete owner error. Who the f**k in their right mind takes two rottweilers for a walk and then takes them off the leash?' she sniped.
'My poor dog and I are traumatised.'
Claire finished by asking her 130,000 followers if any of them could advise her about what the steps she should be taking going forward.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 A restaurant owner has revealed the four dishes you should avoid when dining out Credit: Getty 6 Julia Besz took to social media to reveal insights from her friend who owns a restaurant Credit: @ / TikTok 6 So if you don't want to "gamble with your gut" you'll need to listen up Credit: @ / TikTok A woman named Julia Besz has claimed that whilst enjoying a 'late-night cuppa' with her friend who owns a restaurant, he revealed the dishes you should 'never order anywhere.' Julia claimed that when she questioned the foodie about his claims, his responses 'knocked her sideways.' As a result, eager to share her insider friend's insight with others, Julia took to social media and acknowledged the dishes she will now be avoiding, leaving many open-mouthed. And according to the restaurant owner, these dishes should be avoided at 'any restaurant" - whether that's a chain or a posh place. Say goodbye to 'specials' First things first, according to this insider, 'specials that aren't tied to a clear seasonal ingredient' should be steered clear of. While the insider claimed that such dishes 'sound harmless', it turns out that this often means using ingredients that need to be used before they go out of date. Julia's insider friend explained: 'The sauce masks the age, the garnish distracts you - and by the time you've finished, you've basically paid top dollar for yesterday's leftovers.' Feeling fishy Secondly, if you don't want to spend hours on the loo after going out for a meal, you may want to avoid 'shellfish in places nowhere near the coast.' According to this insider, unless restaurants have daily deliveries and spotless storage, you're 'gambling with your gut' by ordering shellfish. For those looking to avoid a night hugging the loo, Julia's friend stressed: 'Most punters don't realise but the wrong handling turns a fancy seafood platter into a food poisoning time bomb.' Vietnamese restaurant in London shut down after 'DOG MEAT disguised as goat found in freezer by health inspectors' Not ice, ice, baby Not only can shellfish cause an upset stomach, but having ice in drinks can also cause issues - yes, you heard that correctly. Julia's restaurant owner bestie suddenly made summer cocktails feel much less Instagrammable, as he shared a warning over having ice in beverages. You won't see it, but you'll feel it 12 hours later Insider He stressed: 'If the ice machine isn't cleaned properly - and in busy spots, it often isn't - you're basically sipping on a chilled petri dish.' Load off the meat Last but not least, the restaurant owner revealed the 'shocker' that you will want to avoid when dining at buffets or all-you-can-eats. According to this source, chicken dishes in such locations are 'the perfect breeding ground for bacteria if temps aren't bang-on.' How to save money eating out THERE are a number of ways that you can save money when eating out. Here's how: Discount codes - Check sites like Sun Vouchers or VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order. Tastecard - This is a members club where you pay to have access to discounts worth up to 50 per cent off at thousands of restaurants. It costs £4.99 a month or £34.99 for the year. Loyalty schemes - Some restaurants will reward you with discounts or a free meal if you register with their loyalty scheme, such as Nando's where you can collect a stamp with every visit. Some chains like Pizza Express will send you discounts for special occasions, such as your birthday, if you sign up to their newsletter. Voucher schemes - Look out for voucher schemes offered by third party firms, such as Meerkat Meals. If you compare and buy a product through then you'll be rewarded with access to the discount scheme. You'll get 2 for 1 meals at certain restaurants through Sunday to Thursday. Student discounts - If you're in full-time education or a member of the National Students Union then you may be able to get a discount of up to 15 per cent off the bill. It's always worth asking before you place your order. He warned that in such 'high-volume' restaurants, chefs often don't check temperatures like they should. As well as this, he claimed: 'You won't see it, but you'll feel it 12 hours later.' Foodies react Julia's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 213,700 views and 467 likes. Many users agreed with Julia's insider friend and raced to the comments to share their thoughts.

Whilst another added: 'Never order fish on a Monday, no deliveries in many places that day.'

Teresa Giudice sizzles in bikini during sangria-fueled getaway... after her paltry RHONJ salary was revealed
Teresa Giudice is living in it up in the Mediterranean. The RHONJ star shared throwbacks from her recent getaway to the Spanish island of Mallorca, where she enjoyed sunshine and sangria at a beach club. Teresa, 53, worked her toned physique in a glittering silver bikini as she relaxed on a lounge chair, a glass of the Spanish cocktail by her side. It comes after Teresa's ex-husband Joe Giudice revealed the paltry paycheck she earned for her first season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Much has changed since her early days on the show, with Teresa and Joe serving time in prison for financial fraud, followed by a divorce, and the RHONJ star finding love again with new husband Luis Ruelas. The couple are travelling through Spain, and celebrated Teresa's daughter Audriana Giudice's 16th birthday in Madrid. Teresa's beach club post also showed off the full outfit she wore that day, which consisted of a white cover-up, studded flip flops, and metallic cowboy hat. 'Mallorca,' she captioned the post with a wine glass, champagne bottle, and lip print emoji. '#mallorca #beachclub #sangria #goodvibes #sunnydays,' she added along with a sunshine and sunglasses emoji. The vacation photos appeared to have been taken early this month, but her new post comes just a day after Teresa's ex shed light into their early earnings on RHONJ. Joe revealed on daughter Gia Giudice's podcast Casual Chaos that his then-wife earned a measly $25,000 when the show premiered in 2009. 'We got paid nothing the first season. I'll even say... it was like $25,000. I mean, it was ridiculous, but whatever,' the Joe, 53, said. Joe added that the couple actually spent more money than they made as they hosted lavish soirees while on camera. 'I think the first year, we had that big party in my great room,' he recalled. 'I think that show cost me $150,000 the first year.' During their conversation Gia conveyed that Housewives typically 'don't get paid that much money' during inaugural seasons. She noted that the salary 'grows as the seasons go on.' Gia, who now stars on the network's Next Gen NYC spinoff show, added: 'When you're throwing parties and stuff like that, especially for the first season, you're putting in more money than you're actually getting out of it.' She clarified, 'So then obviously, you grow and make your way and make your name. But for the first season when you're obviously trying to... this wasn't anything out of the norm.' And the reality television personality said that while they were married her parents 'loved' to host parties. 'I didn't care,' Joe agreed. 'I mean, every weekend, I had people at my house.' Joe also unpacked a regrettable moment that aired during his stint on the TV show, alluding to the time he was filmed calling Teresa a 'b*tch' and 'c**t.' 'The one up where we were at the vignette or something. I called your mother something. I know it wasn't very nice,' he acknowledged. 'That was just out of pure, you know, drinking wine and enough was enough.' The Italian-bred star emphasized, 'I don't even use that word. I hate that word. Why it came out of my mouth, I have no idea.' In addition to Gia and Audriana, exes Joe and Teresa also share daughters Gabriella, 20, and Milania, 19. They former spouses each served time behind bars for financial fraud. Following his completed prison sentence in 2019, Joe was deported to Italy. That same year the couple announced their separation. And they finalized their divorce in September 2020. Teresa found love again with Luis 'Louie' Ruelas, whom she wed in 2022. During the Casual Chaos episode featuring her father, Gia asked if there was any chance of a rekindling between her parents if her mom and stepdad were to split up. He answered: 'I mean, listen — you can never say "never."'

Urgent ‘hairline SOS' warning from expert who's seen more bald spots than ever caused by a style she begs women to stop
A HAIRDRESSER has shared an urgent 'hairline SOS' warning. So if you want to ensure your locks look healthy and don't get damaged easily, then you've come to the right place and will need to take notes. 4 4 4 Marlie, a hair colourist and mother from Tahmoor, Australia, took to social media to reveal the very popular but incredibly damaging hairstyle she is 'begging' women to avoid. According to this stylist, the much-loved slick back look, whether that's a slick back bun or a slick back ponytail, is causing more bald spots than ever before. It's is a viral hairstyle that's taken not only the fashion world, but the red carpet, by storm. With huge celebs such as Hailey Bieber, Maya Jama and Molly-Mae Hague all showing off their sleek buns, which are often secured down with lots of hairspray, gel or mousse, the on-trend look has shown no signs of disappearing off the radar any time soon. But if you love the slick back look, you may want to think twice about the damage it can cause. Alongside her short 'hairline SOS' clip, the blonde beauty said: 'Stop with the slick backs - I am seeing more tension alopecia now than I ever have in my entire career. 'If you are tying your hair up [in a slick back style] every single day, you are going to pull the hair out from around your hairline. 'It's so bad for your hair and your scalp health.' Sharing her advice on what to do instead, the pro continued: 'Alternatively, use a scrunchie or a claw clip - they don't have as much tension and it's so much better for your hair and your scalp.' Clearly concerned about the damage such slick back hairstyles can cause, Marlie sternly advised: 'Give it up.' Marlie's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ hairbymarlieau, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 164,400 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 1,861 likes, 131 comments and 2,144 shares. Many beauty fans confessed to feeling 'attacked' by the expert's concerns, but others were incredibly thankful for her advice. Stop with the slick backs - I am seeing more tension alopecia now than I ever have in my entire career Marlie One person said: 'I feel attacked, but agree.' Another added: 'This was me! I used to wear a high ponytail everyday and started getting a bald thinning patch in the elastic area. Now I use loose scrunchies or low less tight ponytails and also wear my hair out to give it a break.' A third commented: ' 51 and this is so true. Years of wearing my hair in a high bun has done so much damage.' Everything you need to know about hair loss Marie Nieuwoudt, a Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE told Fabulous everything you need to know regarding hair loss. What are the common causes of hair loss? Marie explained: "There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss. "The number one reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (like thyroid conditions), and stress of course also plays a big part in changes to your hair health. "But another very common day-to-day cause is excessive damage to your hair created by mistakes in your styling routines – and this a big one to be aware of for people who are regularly applying heat to their hair! "It's important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools, as this is essential in reducing unintentional heat damage. "I also see a lot of people facing hair loss resulting from hereditary conditions, which are passed down from generation to generation." What are the best hairstyles people should try to reduce their hair loss? According to Marie: "Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It's important to be gentle with your hair, so a low-maintenance style that limits pulling on your scalp will be your best option. "Putting your hair up in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots. "Instead, try leaving your hair down, or out. "You're not limited in your options, but it pays to be intentional with your hair styling. Using tools which limit damage to your hair is vital. "Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, whilst still making sure you look and feel your best." How long does it take for hair loss to stop? If you're itching to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirmed: "Hair loss is a personal journey – and it's different for everyone, so it's very difficult to put exact timings on this process. "Every head of hair is unique, and so too is your hair loss experience. "As always, you can speak to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they'll be able to help you manage those expectations. "I can't emphasise enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people treat their hair quite roughly, and this is something you definitely want to avoid when dealing with hair loss in particular. "Make sure you're choosing products and styling routines that you know are good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage." Someone else admitted: 'Yep, I'm living proof.' At the same time, one beauty fan beamed: 'Ok I love this! I love that you said stop it, gave a reason why and then gave an alternative! At the start I was like 'well I can't I have to have my hair tied up" and then came the end! Thank you! 'So many people give unsolicited advice with no alternative ideas and it's frustrating so I appreciate you!' Meanwhile, one user penned: "It's hard when you work in the hospitality industry and you need to tie your hair back a lot.' But to this, Marlie wrote back and explained: 'You can still tie it up without doing it with heaps of tension.'
