FROM the £5,000 Margaux bag which is by designer brand The Row and often swinging from the arm of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, to the designer Bottega Veneta's £3,000 arm candy, big bags have never been, well, bigger.

Absolutely Everything You Need To Know About Love Island Star Sophie Lee
It's less than a week until Love Island is back on our screens for series twelve, and naturally everyone can't stop talking about the recently announced line-up. We've already been treated to a sneak peak of a trailer by host Maya Jama, which teased lots of new twists, plus a good dose of the usual drama, bombshells and breakups. What's more, 2025 will see Love Island celebrating its 10-year anniversary (how has it been that long?) One of the contestants taking part in series 12 of the show is former fire breather Sophie Lee, who people are predicting will make an impact in the villa. Sophie Lee is a former fire breather, influencer and motivational speaker. After suffering life-changing burns when she was 22, she has worked with Katie Piper's foundation and released a book in February last year, titled In My Skin. She has also developed a loyal social media following. At the time, she told her followers: 'It's been a difficult process being so open with the trauma I've faced and adversity I've had to overcome and to now be at a place of peace has not been easy,' continuing 'I hope that from sharing my experience of racial discrimination, feeling outcast throughout my life, battling depression and eventually reaching the process of surgery, it becomes a read that others find helpful in their own journeys.' Sophie Lee is 28, but she will reportedly be 29 when she enters the villa. Sophie Lee will be taking part in series 11 of Love Island. She will join the likes of personal trainer Aaron Buckett and influencer Megan Moore. According to a source quoted in The Sun, Sophie wants to appear on the show to advocate for body positivity. The source told the outlet: 'Sophie is a gorgeous girl and a powerhouse of a woman who has overcome everything life has thrown at her. Just like Tasha Ghouri's amazing time in the villa where she raised awareness for the hearing impaired, Love Island bosses are thrilled to give Sophie the same platform to discuss her accident and how she's become comfortable in her skin since.' They continued: 'Love Island has always tried to be about more than just looks and Sophie is a classic example of an Islander with real substance,' adding 'She's in the mix for this year's cast, with execs deciding soon if she will be in the original line-up or a bombshell.' When she was 22, Sophie was involved in a fire breathing accident in the US, which saw her suffer life-changing burns. The ordeal occurred in 2018 when an air conditioning unit blew flames into her face while she was performing at an event in Chicago. In an interview with The Sun, Sophie opened up about the terrifying experience. 'The air-con was too strong so when I blew the fire out it blew back to me. It set me on fire. I just remember being in so much pain, I blacked out for a little bit. It's crazy,' she said. 'It happened in front of everyone and I had to get on with it as professionally and quickly as I could. As soon as I got into the ambulance, I was in bits.' She added: 'That was a scary, scary time. I couldn't breathe by myself, I couldn't eat, I couldn't really see, it was scary. I was pretty out of it but on day two I looked in the mirror and just cried.' Sophie spent a month in intensive care in the US by herself while she was treated for the burns. She needed life support machines to help her breathe, and was in and out of consciousness. After the accident, Lucy also underwent keloid surgery on her face. She shared a video of her recovery on Instagram earlier this year, saying 'Although my tumour was benign and not cancerous, I had to endure stages of Chemo Injections as part of my treatment and I can first hand say that it was the hardest and most testing time of my life that I've ever experienced.' She added: 'I want to take this opportunity to wish all the families who have been affected by cancer my deepest love and prayers, I know how hard it is to remain hopeful during dark times of uncertainty. I'm grateful for all the support and love I have received from sharing my journey on this platform and I hope to continue to be a positive example that there is light at the end of the tunnel.' Yes!

Love Island: Why Was This Contestant Axed Before The Show Had Even Started?
The countdown to the new series of Love Island is officially underway, with the 12th season of the show airing on Monday. After weeks of speculation, the Love Island cast was officially revealed this week. However, one contestant has reportedly been dumped from the villa before the show has even begun. Just one day after the cast announcement, it was revealed that Kyle Ashman had been axed from the show after he was arrested on suspicion of a machete attack before being released without charge. A spokesperson for ITV shared the news, writing in a statement that Ashman would not be taking part in the 12th season of the show. 'For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned,' the statement read. Kyle has also responded to the news himself. He said: 'I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' According to reports in The Sun, the incident took place in February when 'masked thugs stormed a wake in Stafford and hacked at a dad' who 'nearly lost his arm.' Additionally, someone else was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people were run over by a car. Ashman was one of two suspects questioned about the incident. 'This was a horrific attack which could have been even worse,' a source told The Sun. 'Ashman may have signed up to one of the biggest shows on TV with this hanging over his head.' According to insiders, ITV were unaware of the incident until the publication raised it, and it was not flagged as part of the contestant checks. Now, the decision has been made to part ways with Ashman. Other confirmed contestants for series 12 of Love island include former fire breather Sophie Lee and personal trainer Aaron Buckett.

'I thought I was having a stroke after I got Botox - my face was drooping'
A woman who got Botox after seeing an advert for a 'bargain' procedure on social media thought she was having a stroke after her face began to droop. Florence Docherty, who got a mini facelift three months ago after seeing an advert on Instagram, began to feel numbness and tingling in her face weeks after the procedure. When she smiled, her face would droop to one side. During the procedure, a muscle on her face which should not have been injected with Botox was hit. Florence has since visited a medical aesthetics clinic in Barrhead, who confirmed the treatment she was promised was not possible. She told STV News: 'I was in the bathroom and I just happened to yawn in front of the mirror and the whole side of my face was drooping. 'The first thing I thought was 'I think this is the first symptoms of a stroke' – you know how they always say that your face droops. 'So I phoned the doctor and they asked me to take a picture and send it in and the doctor would phone me back and then I thought about it and I thought 'I wonder if it has anything to do with the Botox that I got.' She says when she got the procedure, it wasn't explained to her what Botox would be used but that she did not ask because it was a 'bargain'. Florence added: 'If something's too good to be true, it definitely is. I would never do it again. 'I did message the person and explain what had happened and she offered me half my money back and I said no I don't want my money back, I just don't want you to do it to somebody else.' Jacqueline Cooney, nurse prescriber and director of the Scottish Medical Aesthetics Safety Group said: 'We see weekly cases like this. 'When she came in to speak to me she was really embarrassed, felt quite ashamed of herself because what she described was that she didn't think the environment was clean. 'She didn't know where the toxin had come from that she had been injected with and they had clearly hit a muscle that wasn't supposed to be treated with the Botox. 'It was pulling the corner of her mouth down. 'Had she seen a prescriber, we would have told her that the whole treatment that she was promised was not possible. 'She would have never been treated with it in the first place.' From this week, non-surgical procedures such as Botox and filler injections will no longer be allowed to be prescribed without a face-to-face consultation with a medical professional. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) said that inconsistent regulation of non-surgical cosmetic practice can put people at risk. Research into the issue found that many people who had undergone non-cosmetic procedures had not fully considered how the medicine was obtained when the person administering it was not a healthcare professional. Some also did not realise that they were prescribed medicines and perceived the procedures to be 'overly accessible', taking place within unregulated environments without clarity on whether those injecting had sufficient training. The NMC said their updated position would 'protect the public and maintain trust and confidence in the professions'. Anne Trotter, NMC assistant director of education and standards, said: 'Following our research and engagement, we're confident that our updated position on the remote prescribing of non-surgical cosmetic medicines is in the best interests of public safety and protection. 'Nursing and midwifery prescribers provide competent and effective care to people every day. Face-to-face consultations will further improve their ability to assess people holistically and ensure non-surgical cosmetic medicines are prescribed as safely and appropriately. 'We'll continue to engage with our stakeholders, professionals, employers and the public as we bring this new requirement into effect.' The Scottish Government has announced it plans to regulate the sector within the next year with new safety rules, including procedures being delivered in suitable registered premises and supporting the enforcement of appropriate standards. The Non-surgical Cosmetic Procedures Bill will be introduced within the next year. STV News is now on WhatsApp Get all the latest news from around the country Follow STV News
