MasterChef star Yanin Campos killed in horror car crash in Mexico at 38
The 38-year-old, who competed on the hit cooking show in 2018, was driving her SUV in her hometown of Chihuahua on Saturday when she reportedly lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a parked car, according to local outlets.
Images circulating online show the wreckage of the crash, with Campos' SUV left mangled from the impact.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital but tragically succumbed to her injuries two days later.
Her brother, Raúl Campo, confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement on social media.
'To our family and friends, we inform you and mourn the passing of my sister, Yanin Campos,' he wrote.
'The wake is at the Hernández Funeral Home for those who would like to say goodbye and join us.'
Although she placed sixth in the 2018 season of MasterChef México, Campos was later invited back to compete on MasterChef: La Revancha in 2019.
Authorities say the deadly accident occurred around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday along the Francisco R. Almada highway.
Campos was behind the wheel of a black GMC Terrain when she reportedly veered off course and collided with a stationary vehicle.
Emergency responders transported her to Hospital del Parque, where she remained in critical condition until she passed away in the ICU on Monday night.
Local police have opened an investigation to determine what led to the crash.

Woman buys £2 leggings on Vinted and is astounded when they arrive
A woman who ordered three pairs of leggings for just £6 on second-hand clothing website, Vinted, has claimed she was left baffled by what she reportedly received There's nothing like that feeling of ordering something online after admiring it for a while, waiting for it to arrive, and ripping open the parcel to see it in person for the first time. While it typically involves a lot of excitement, unfortunately there is the odd occasion when shoppers are left puzzled by what they have received. One shopper claims she was was left with a fright after opening up a Vinted parcel. The woman was browsing the second-hand selling app - where people often flog unwanted items for bargain prices - and spotted three pairs of leggings for £6 in total. Knowing she was unlikely to find brand new pairs of leggings for £2 apiece anywhere else, the buyer purchased them from the seller - who has a five-star rating on the app. The story was outlined in a clip shared to the popular TikTok page, Depop Drama. The narrator of the video said: "This girl bought some TikTok leggings for £6, but wait until you see what she received instead - I am absolutely lost for words." The shopper reportedly opened up her parcel to find a statue of a human skull inside, complete with a frog on top. "It's safe to say the skull looks nothing like these leggings," added the TikToker. "The interesting thing about this is that the seller has five star reviews - and 22 of them, so I'm not too sure what's happened here." He added: "So as you can see, the Vinted seller has sent it off with Royal Mail and I've since spoken to the buyer and she still hasn't received a refund." The TikToker claimed the buyer had contacted Vinted about her predicament but, at the time the video was posted, had not received a reply. "No way, why?" commented one shocked TikTok user. Others joked that they would have been happy to receive the skull. "I would have been been happier with the skull," said one. "I'd rather have the skull," joked another. One other wrote: "I'd be so happy with that, my room has so many so I'd happily add that to my collection." What happens if you receive the wrong item If you receive the wrong item from a Vinted seller, you should report the issue to the company and the seller as soon as possible. You can do so by pressing the 'I have an issue' button in the conversation with the seller. You will need to provide photographic evidence of the item being incorrect. If you purchased an item and you think it is significantly different to how it was described, you can suspend the order and submit a refund request, under our the buyer protection and refund policy.

'My son is obsessed with McDonald's – so I came up with perfect parenting hack'
As a parent, it can be hard saying no to your kids when they ask for certain things like junk food or the latest video game. But one mum has come up with the perfect hack It's undoubtable for parents to often cave whenever their kids ask for something slightly unreasonable. There are certain parenting tips that can make your life a lot easier, but now one mum has certainly sussed it and people are impressed. Posting on TikTok, Caitlin and Leah, who often share parenting tips with their 9.7million followers, came up with a genius trick to spoil their McDonald's obsessed son. In a recent clip, which racked up 224,000 likes, Caitlin claimed the couple had been spending a fortune on feeding their boy burgers and fries from the iconic chain, until she found a clever way to disguise it. The clip shows a voiceover which says: "Our son is absolutely obsessed with McDonald's and it's costing us a fortune. "So I've decided to make my own and disguise it. I really hope he doesn't notice." The video then starts with Caitlin sneaking into the kitchen and claiming one of the McDonald's bags that was put in the bin. After, the mum pours a portion of fries into the airfryer before rustling up a burger of her own. Once it's all cooked, she places the bits into the McDonald's packaging. Her final mission is to carefully place it all in the bag before giving it to her son for him to enjoy. Finally, you can hear Caitlin's son getting excited after seeing his McDonald's delivery. He says: "It's McDonald's. Want it want it. Want my burger burger. I love it! I love McDonald's. I love you darling." The video was shared with the caption: "I think we've found a new parenting hack. Let's hope he doesn't start to notice." Since it was posted on TikTok, it garnered a lot of attention from others praising the smart hack. One joked: "Unfortunately he's going to notice... the food is actually warm for once." Another added: "He's so cute at the end." Meanwhile others mentioned Caitlin could easily tell her son "no". A person commented: "Just refuse the McDonald's, it's not that hard." Caitlin and Leah are an LGBTQ+ couple who often share a glimpse into their marriage and life as parents. They have a YouTube channel where they post vlogs and advice. Previously, they became more present on Instagram and TikTok after sharing their IVF journey.

First-class suites for Formula 1 fun
I'm reclining on a sunshine-yellow sofa, watching a couple enter the final throes of a chess game before flicking through a weighty tome analysing Lewis Hamilton's greatest achievements. Then 3pm rolls around and the couple dash to the terrace to watch the man himself race past at 200mph. The living room-like House 44 suite, a collaboration between Lewis Hamilton, F1 and Soho House unveiled at Silverstone, is the latest addition to the Paddock Club — the vast hospitality complex that overlooks the starting grid. In 2025 the suite will feature at the upcoming Netherlands, Italy, Mexico, Las Vegas and UAE grands prix. 'The House 44 suite is an amazing way of experiencing a Formula 1 race weekend,' says Lewis Hamilton. 'Working closely with Soho House and F1, I wanted to design a space I'd choose for myself if I wasn't on track.' Even the drinks are Hamilton-themed. At the bar, clad with studded metal panels recalling the stripped-back bodywork of a 1950s grand prix car, there's free-flowing Moët alongside cocktails made with Almave. Co-founded by Hamilton, it's the world's first non-alcoholic blue agave spirit brand. The House 44 layout and size will vary slightly depending on the track, but the capacity will stay between 100 and 200 people, making it smaller and more intimate than most F1 Paddock Club suites. The overall sense is of cosiness — it's not a place where you need to know your driveshaft from your DRS. My favourite spot? Perched next to the long, rustic wooden table, watching the on-track action on a screen suspended above a sideboard topped with pot plants and a stack of books pinioned by a starfish-shaped paperweight. If I could design my dream living room, this might just be it. Guests don't need Soho House membership — just a minimum of $12,000 (about £8,900) for a three-day race weekend ticket. Added extras include pit walks, paddock tours and appearances from Sir Lewis. The Singapore GP's Twenty3 is a multilevel trackside retreat famous for its multiple vantage points (you'll find it at the track's final turn, which means unbeatable views of the starting line and post-race fireworks) and entertainment — in previous years performers have included aerial silk acrobats and fire poi spinners. But it's the culinary offerings that put it on the map. Highlights include pop-ups from Michelin-starred chefs (at the GP in October sit-down restaurants will include one from the Seoul-based Soigné, which has two Michelin stars, and La Scène, a Paris bistro also with two stars). Meanwhile, pitstops for thirsty race fans will include one from Barcelona's Paradiso Bar, which bagged a spot in the top 10 of the World's 50 Best Bars 2024. Finally, it's worth bearing in mind this is a race where those vantage points are worth the expense. The action-packed Singapore GP — F1's first night-time race, wrapped around the spectacular Marina Bay — makes for a breathtaking backdrop. From £4,760 for a three-day ticket, A fun fact? The first Las Vegas GP took place in 1981, when the cars raced around the parking lot of the Caesars Palace hotel. There wasn't another Las Vegas GP until 2023, when F1's speed machines raced down the city's neon-lit Strip. Perhaps unsurprisingly the hospitality offerings are as extravagant as it gets, and the pricier offerings include the Gordon Ramsay at F1 Garage — with tickets starting from £20,000. A more affordable (but equally opulent) option for race weekend (in 2025 this will be November 20-22) is Skybox, with its Rat Pack-inspired decor (think vast expanses of red velvet and lots of feathers). This hospitality suite, above the Heineken Silver Main Grandstand, offers stunning views of the starting line while guests feast on gourmet cuisine and toast the race's return to Vegas with cocktails prepared by the city's top mixologists. Tickets include a Heineken Silver Main Grandstand seat in addition to suite access. The suite's proximity to the Heineken Silver Stage is a big draw — it's the setting for driver appearances as well as live music. From £6,530 for a three-day ticket, The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix's 360 at Sixteen hospitality area, which will launch at this December's event, will have a prime position — it will be located at turn 16, which means brilliant views of the finishing straight as well as the circuit's famous chicane section. It will be a multilevel lounge with leafy areas and terraces overlooking the pitlane. Perks for guests include pit walks and complimentary access to nearby attractions such as Warner Bros World Yas Island Abu Dhabi and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Guests will be able to refuel at live cooking stations and at food trucks, although it's worth nothing this will be one of the few hospitality packages that includes only soft drinks — alcoholic beverages cost extra. From £1,200 for a four-day ticket, House 44 wasn't the only F1 Paddock Club suite unveiled at Silverstone — the Atlassian Williams Racing team revealed its beautiful suite at the British GP too. Created for guests invited by the team or its partners, it will appear at the Singapore, Austin, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi GPs in 2025 (2026's races are to be confirmed). Although exact layouts might vary, staples will include a large central bar, an open-plan layout and vast expanses of dark oak and light stone, and a central stage will be the setting for appearances by team members, including drivers. The vibe? Decadent but fun — at the British Grand Prix there were menu holders made from wheel nuts, and guests can ask for their initials to be embroidered on to complimentary ticket wallets and luggage labels from Carl Friedrik (one of the team's sponsors). Marcus Prosser, the director of marketing at Atlassian Williams Racing, believes this bespoke approach is the way forward. 'Today the F1 hospitality landscape is shifting from a one-size-fits-all to more meaningful, personalised experiences,' Prosser says. Entry to the suite is by invitation only
