Woman told she 'looks like Cole Palmer' now 'can't sleep at night'
A woman has shared her dismay after being compared to a famous English football player - but some YouTube viewers believe this isn't her only celebrity lookalike A woman has been having sleepless nights after being compared to English football player Cole Palmer. Emily, who is known as @emlyhartnett on social media, shared a clip of her copying Palmer's poses for publicity pictures - and people can't believe their likeness. On her TikTok video, she wrote: "Someone told me I look like Cole Palmer once and I haven't been able to sleep at night since." However, it seems she's able to see the funny side to their uncanny likeness, adding: "Call me the goat, I guess." Not only do they both have brown eyes, they also have a similar facial structure including their nose and mouth shape. Commenting on her video, one user said: "You look more like Cole Palmer than Cole Palmer." Another user added: "If it makes you feel any better, I really fancy Cole Palmer." A third user said: "Put on a Chelsea shirt and don't ask why." The now 23-year-old joined Chelsea from Manchester City on transfer deadline day in September 2023. He was awarded Player of the Season during his first year at Stamford Bridge and became a full England international, going on to score for his nation in the European Championship final versus Spain. More recently, Palmer started a new season with a two-year extension to his contract, taking him up to 2033. His stats show he has made 35 men's team appearances, played for 3,015 minutes, and made 15 goals, ranking him as number one in the team. Speaking about how fame has changed his life since joining Chelsea as an attacking midfielder or winger, Palmer said on Chelsea FC: "My life has changed massively. "I can't really go to certain places when I just want to chill. Like when you just go to the shop around the corner, you'll think someone's watching you. "Being able to play five-a-side is the thing I miss most, though, just being able to go and play five-a-side with your mates." However, one more user claims Cole Palmer isn't her only lookalike claiming she also resembles YouTuber Calfreezy. In agreement, one user said: "OMG, you're so true." Another added: "More accurate." Even Calfreezy's close friend Callux couldn't help but laugh at the comparison, simply commenting: "LMAO." A final user added: "It's like if Cole Palmer and Calfreezy had a kid." Calfreezy has even played into this likeness dressing up as Palmer on The Fellas Podcast for Halloween last year. Calfreezy, real name Callum Airey, owns The Fellas Studios alongside Joshua Larkin, known on YouTube as TheBurntChip. Founded in 2020, the two YouTubers accumulated more than 1.7 billion views in 2023 with their popular podcasts The Fellas, Saving Grace and Growing Paynes.

Video unveils disturbing truth about UK's 'fattest town' where 80% of residents are obese
Fatty food may be to blame for Ebbw Vale's title as the 'UK's fattest town', according to recent investigations. It's 22 years since Britain's five-a-day campaign was launched encouraging people to have at least five portions of fruit or vegetables. But for some families living in the former South Wales steel town it's two-a-day takeaways. In a viral YouTube video one social media influencer, popular for his health content, sparked shock after revealing that of the town's 75 eateries, 55 are classed as fast food outlets. By contrast, Ebbw Vale has just one traditional greengrocers, Fresh 'N' Fruity. Visiting the town Callum Airey—better known online as Calfreezy—found the lack of affordable healthy food vendors in the area has heavily contributed to the growing number of expanding waistlines. Figures from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) show roughly eight in ten people in the county are classed as either overweight or obese. In the video, Callum who boasts more than 4.4million followers, said: 'The food options in Ebbw Vale were clearly a massive problem. 'It was mainly populated with fast food chains like Gregg's, kebab shops and Dominoes, there was a real lack of healthy food options. 'The fact there's only one fresh fruit and veg shop, everything else is either frozen food or fast food says it all. 'It looks like a lot of people here often turn to vices like unhealthy foods and drugs. 'Fruit is more expensive than a sausage roll in Greggs.' Other takeaway options the town's 19,500 inhabitants can opt for include fish and chip shops, Indian takeaways and burger joints. Visiting one Dominoes Pizza branch, a worker told Callum one customer had visited three times in a row in a single week. 'It was two wraps and a set of cookies each day every single day. But it was a different wrap per day,' he said. 'We have lots of regular customers that come in at least once a week.' At another kebab shop, an employee also claimed some regular customers visit up to twice a day. Speaking to residents one told Callum: 'Takeaways and fast food places are the only options round here.' A second said: 'There are too many fast food restaurants around.' Another, also noted: 'Our generation doesn't know how to cook. McDonald's is too easy. 'We rely on frozen foods like pizzas and easy ready meals.' Figures show four out of five people in the county were classified as overweight or obese, defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher. The percentage of those with a BMI of 25 or stood at 79.9. By contrast, the Welsh national average is considerably lower at 62 per cent. Obesity has been well established as increasing the risk of serious health conditions that can damage the heart, such as high blood pressure, as well as cancers. It has been estimated to cause one in 20 cancer cases in Britain, according to the Cancer Research UK. Britain's obesity crisis is also estimated to cost the nation nearly £100billion per year. This colossal figure includes the health harms on the NHS as well as secondary economic effects like lost earnings from people taking time off work due to illness and early deaths. Earlier this year, doctors also warned that cheap junk food diets are behind a 'very concerning' spike in the number of people being hospitalised for vitamin deficiency. Hundreds of thousands of people in England have received treatment in wards for health problems linked to a lack of vital nutrients in the last year alone. Health chiefs say the reliance on easy and filling fast foods has fuelled a 10-fold increase in those needing hospital care because of an absence of nourishment in their daily diets. NHS figures show a dramatic rise in people with a main diagnosis of anaemia—caused by lack of iron—and B vitamin deficiencies. Symptoms of iron deficiency include being very pale, irritability, fatigue, increased heart rate, sore or swollen tongue, and enlarged spleen. The condition can cause heart failure if left untreated.
