Marta Jiménez, Spanish TV star known as ‘Adrenaline Woman' dies in horror base jumping accident
Marta Jiménez, 34, better known as 'Adrenaline Woman', was a much-loved TV personality who was known for her on-screen energy and desire to seek thrilling adventures. Something that her chat show colleagues insist will live on in her memory.
Ms Jiménez worked on the popular chat show El Hormiguero, which translates to 'The Anthill', which brought excitement to the living rooms of millions of viewers across Spain.
On Sunday, at around 10.30am, she went base jumping in the Chistau Valley, near the north-eastern city of Huesca, The Sun reported.
However, the expedition went horribly wrong, and Ms Jiménez had an accident - the exact details of which are not yet known.
Rescue teams acted swiftly, but there was nothing they could do to save her.
A helicopter was called to the scene where they found Ms Jiménez but tragically, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Ms Jiménez's body was then transported to Legal Medicine in Huesca for a post-mortem.
Pablo Motos, the host of the show, emotionally spoke out and said, 'Marta has left us, the adrenaline woman, she lost her life doing what she loved most.'
The horrific news has shaken the team behind the show as well as its audience.
Ms Jiménez was very popular with her segment being a favourite of the viewers as she was an energetic force on TV, who was well-known for celebrating each completed challenge with shouts of joy.
One of her most memorable moments, which still is a highlight for many of the viewers, was in October last year when Ms Jiménez jumped from a crane at more than 197ft (60m) high.
This hair-raising stunt was mentioned in Mr Moto's tribute post on Instagram, which read:
'Marta is gone. The adrenaline lady. She lost her life doing what she loved most. We are devastated. But our feeling of powerlessness and our sadness will not prevent us from remembering her when she screamed for joy for having achieved something impossible. I share with you, through tears, one of those moments.'
Thousands of Ms Jiménez fans commented on the social media post, paying their respect and expressing the shock of the tragic event that had unfolded.
Another replied to the post saying, 'In shock, fly high'.

Kelly Osbourne lauds supportive fans after Ozzy's death
Kelly Osbourne has thanked fans for their "support" during the "hardest moment" of her life following the death of her father, the Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne. The rock legend was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and died at the age of 76 on July 22, surrounded by his family. Since his death, tributes have been pouring in from fans and friends around the world with thousands visiting the Black Sabbath Bench in the musician's home city of Birmingham to lay bouquets, wreaths, posters, balloons, candles and cards. The Osbourne family visited the bench in Broad Street last Wednesday to lay their own flowers during a cortege procession. Kelly, 40, who starred in the 2000s reality series The Osbournes, shared a post on her Instagram story on Monday thanking fans for their support. She said: "I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough... but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. "The love, support, and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain. "Grief is a strange thing - it sneaks up on you in waves - I will not be ok for a while - but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. "I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. Thank you for being there. I love you all so much. - Kelly #BirminghamForever #OzzyForever." On Monday, Birmingham City Council began gathering up the tributes so they can be stored before being handed over to the Osbourne family. A handful of fans watched from behind barriers, took photographs and hugged each other as officials in hi-vis jackets collected all the flowers and tributes which had been laid in front of the bench and on the railings behind it. The council said the mementos would be gathered and preserved "respectfully" in agreement with the rock star's relatives and then stored "with the utmost care at a secure location, ensuring they are protected and treated with dignity". The council said: "In due course, they will be passed on to the Osbourne family, so they may keep them as a lasting reminder of the public's affection and support." In a statement released through the city council, the Osbourne family said: "We are deeply moved by the heartfelt tributes that have been placed at the Black Sabbath Bridge and at the Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street in recent days. "These expressions of remembrance reflect the profound impact that Ozzy had on the city and its people, as well as fans from around the world - BIRMINGHAM FOREVER!"

Liam Neeson's son approves of Pamela Anderson romance
Liam Neeson's son approves of his relationship with Pamela Anderson. The 73-year-old actor and his 58-year-old Naked Gun co-star star are believed to have started dating after meeting on set, and when they appeared on Watch What Happens Live to promote the film on Sunday, host Andy Cohen - who was a close friend of Liam's late wife Natasha Richardson - admitted he was "stanning" their romance, a viewpoint shared by Daniel Neeson. Cohen told the couple: "The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you, but I do just want to say, as a very old friend of (Liam's), all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say." As Liam put his hand on Pamela's shoulder and she reached to squeeze it, Cohen then asked Daniel, who was sitting in the audience: "Right Danny?" Daniel replied: "Yes." On Friday, Pamela shared a series of photos of herself and Liam on Instagram along with the caption: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! "I'll see you there (white heart and popcorn emojis)" And Daniel, 28, commented with a string of emojis including hands up, fire, and white hearts. Richardson's sister, Joely Richardson, also commented on the post with a string of red heart emojis. Cohen recently admitted he was happy for Neeson over his budding romance with Anderson because he can see similarities between the former Baywatch star and Richardson, who died in a skiing accident in 2009, aged 45. Speaking on his SiriusXM radio show last week, he said: "Natasha was a dear friend of mine and I'm gonna tell you something. I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is. "As I was telling him at the premiere party, I go, 'Liam, she is an independent woman just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys.'" Cohen insists "this just works" as Anderson has been through a lot with her sex tape scandal and whirlwind marriage to ex-husband Tommy Lee - with whom she has sons Brandon, 29, and 27-year-old Dylan - and managed to reinvent her career. He added: "I mean, this just works, and you know, she is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. What she's been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself." Neeson - who has Micheal, 30, and Daniel with his late wife - previously confessed to being "madly in love" with Pamela as he gushed about working with her. He told People magazine: "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with." Liam Neeson's son approves of his relationship with Pamela Anderson.

Donald Trump lauds Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle campaign
Donald Trump has hailed Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle advertising campaign. The US President has lavished praise on the Euphoria actress - who has been identified as a registered Republican in Florida - for featuring in the "hottest" commercial for the brand's jeans, even though it has been criticised on social media and sparked a debate about beauty standards. Trump wrote on Truth Social: "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'hottest' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves'. Go get 'em Sydney!" The White House chief compared the advertisement to car manufacturer Jaguar's ill-fated rebrand last year, which he branded as a "seriously woke advertisement" and a "total disaster". Trump, 79, also used his post to take aim at Taylor Swift - whom he clashed with previously after she endorsed his rival Kamala Harris in last year's presidential election - as he described her as a "woke singer". He said: "Ever since I alerted the world as to when she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became NO LONGER HOT. The tide has seriously turned - Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" A public database in Florida shows that Sweeney, 27, was registered as a Republican voter in the state last June - with the matter being discovered by a YouTuber who came across it as she put together a profile of The White Lotus star. American Eagle defended the actress last week after the campaign's tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' was criticised because the phrase "great genes" is associated with eugenicists - who argue that humanity can be improved genetically through selective breeding. The company wrote in an Instagram post: "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. "We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone." Sydney revealed that she was "freaking out" when she was approached to star in the campaign. She said: "I was freaking out because I was like, 'This is perfect', and I was so excited. "When they were like, 'We want it to be a denim campaign', I was through the roof. I was like, 'This is it. This is Syd. I will be able to bring this to life. You have no idea.'"
