GMB dermatologist issues skin cancer warning over popular trend
The dermatologist warned that such a regimen 'will cause damage to the skin over time' - here's what you should know Dr Emma Wedgeworth urged Brits to be cautious of one beauty trend amidst a key Good Morning Britain (GMB) segment today. The dermatologist warned that such a regimen 'will cause damage to the skin over time', leading to a potentially heightened risk of skin cancer. "I think there is a link between any form of excessive sun exposure and skin cancer," she told presenter Rob Rinder, who asked about the possible link between tanning beds and cancer. She then continued: "And that's something that we see all the time. "Not everybody is going to get skin cancer, but there will be some people who are more if you've got a family history, if you've got light skin, you are much more likely to get it." Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is recognised as the leading cause of melanoma skin cancer. This radiation is not only emitted by the sun but is also frequently used in tanning beds. In addition to possessing lighter skin and having a family history, the NHS states that several other personal factors may increase your risk of skin cancer, particularly when combined with the use of sunbeds. This can include the following: Having red or blonde hair Having blue or green eyes Having a large number of freckles or moles Have been frequently sunburned in the past You had skin cancer before With this in mind, Dr Wedgeworth warned against any use of sunbeds at all and urged Brits to care for their skin while spending time in the sun. "I would just say don't do [tanning beds]," she said. "We do know that it will cause damage to the skin over time. We don't want everyone to stay inside constantly, go out in the summer when we ever get some form of sun. "Go and enjoy yourself, but just be careful because your skin has to last you a long time, and we really don't want to cause it damage." Despite her advice, the Sunbed Association also told GMB viewers to be aware that modern professional tanning salons follow strict safety controls and practices are tightly regulated. Therefore, if you still want to use a tanning bed despite these risks, it is best to examine the specific salon's procedures first and inquire about its control systems. Potential symptoms of melanoma skin cancer According to the NHS, you should look out for the following: New moles or changes in existing moles - especially in areas often exposed to the sun Moles with uneven borders or shapes Moles with a mix of colours Larger moles - more than 6mm wide Swollen, bleeding or crusty moles Itchy moles Advice from the health service adds: "Melanomas can appear anywhere on your body, but they're more common in areas that are often exposed to the sun. Some rarer types can affect the eyes, soles of the feet, palms of the hands or genitals. "Check your skin for any unusual changes. Use a mirror or ask a partner or friend to check any areas you cannot see."

Katie Piper says man threw sandwich at her after noticing facial burns
Katie Piper has recalled having a sandwich thrown at her by men after they saw her facial burns. The Loose Women host and activist was left partially blind and with severe injuries after her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch, arranged an acid attack on her in 2008. She was 24 at the time. Lynch was jailed for life with a minimum term of 16 years in May 2009. Piper, 41, who has undergone 250 operations since the attack, recently published her book Still Beautiful, about cultivating confidence and the beauty of getting older. She spoke about the book and her life during an appearance at the 2025 Hay Festival, which has partnered with The Independent for a second year. Piper spoke about how people's perceptions of her changed following the acid attack, while in conversation with barrister and television host Rob Rinder. Speaking about aging as a woman, Piper told Rinder: 'People age out of the male gaze, women age out of the male gaze. You stop getting the seat on the tube. They don't open the door for you anymore.' She continued: 'I was ripped from the male gaze at 24 years old, when my friends were still online dating and going to nightclubs. 'I didn't just become invisible, I became a target for people saying derogatory things to me in shops.' Piper went on to recall a harrowing story in which a man threw a sandwich at her, after first cat-calling her from a van. 'I'm a very petite person; I had long blonde hair at the time and I was walking down the street with mum going to an outpatients appointment and a white van, I assume builders, were whistling at me complimentarily,' she said. 'As they came around and saw my face, which is after the injury obviously, and I was wearing a plastic mask, someone threw a sandwich at me out of the window.' Piper said that she could remember it was a BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato) sandwich because the bacon got 'stuck' in her hair. 'But it was that thing that from behind I was one thing to them and what that represents, and when they came around the front, I was unexpectedly something else,' she said. 'So it's not natural for that to happen to you. It's not a transition. It's very violent and out of your control.' Piper went on to speak about a 'defining moment' that followed four years after the traumatic incident. 'For the first four years, when I saw myself in my dreams, she was always there: the girl that wasn't burnt,' she said Piper. 'In any dream – joyful dreams, chaotic dreams, boring dreams – she was there, pre that injury. 'Something happened four years later, I had a fairly mundane dream and she'd gone and it was my new reflection in that dream and I woke up and was like, 'Oh.'' Piper went on to compare the experience to losing a loved one, stating: 'It's painful for so long but you just live with it and you don't realise it, and you never get over it but one day, you're able to live with it.' 'And it must've just been my subconscious letting go,' she said, joking: 'I never told anyone that so I decided to tell thousands of strangers in a shed!' Last month, Piper opened up about how the injuries she sustained ultimately robbed her of the chance of having a third child. In 2023, she was trying for a third child with husband Richard Sutton, but the couple had to abandon their plans when doctors told her she required an emergency operation on her blind left eye. 'I had quite a traumatic event with my eye. I had to have a general anaesthetic and you can't be trying for a baby and also be having unexpected surgeries,' she explained. 'We tried again, but it just didn't happen.' In January 2025, Piper announced that she made the decision to be fitted with the artificial eyeball. She shared a video of her appearing to begin her treatment with a medical tool inserted into her eye socket.

Liz Hurley playing The Deceased on a Channel 4 game show? It's camp and it's on-trend
What's this week's biggest casting announcement? Kieran Culkin and Elle Fanning set to enliven The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping? Carey Mulligan tipped for Greta Gerwig's Narnia film? How about Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig 'in talks' to brood through Damien Chazelle's new prison project? It's none of the above, obviously. It's the news that 'actress, model and British icon' Elizabeth Hurley will play The Deceased in Channel 4's 'wickedly immersive new reality series' The Inheritance later this year. This is either going to be excruciatingly unwatchable or the most amazing thing on the channel since the Countdown board was arranged to spell 'GOBSHITE' for eight points. But who is The Deceased and what's her motivation? She's a 'fabulously glamorous benefactor', according to Channel 4, and she has the kind of sense of humour that you don't encounter every day – even if it does seem to have become a little less rare of late. READ MORE For laughs, she has designed a mischievous game that will make things complicated for the 13 strangers who fancy a piece of the fortune she has left behind. These strangers have been summoned to a stately home to work as a team to complete The Deceased's 'devilishly difficult' final requests, overseen by The Executor, aka barrister-turned-broadcaster Rob Rinder. Alas, only one player can claim the money won each time, so they must persuade the others that they alone deserve the cash they earned together, with the victor being the person most adept at out-scheming their competition. Insert your own corporate workplace metaphor here. Just as a sidebar, I googled 'liz hurley the deceased' on Wednesday, and the top result was Google AI assuring me that she is 'alive and well'. Thanks, Google AI. I like to keep an eye on Hurley because I feel a certain kinship with her ever since I went to a 1990s-themed party – one of those recessionary cosplay things – wearing a black maxi dress customised to look like her Versace safety-pin gown in a very dim light. So I'm confident that screen-wise what she excels at is rocking up to various shows being effortlessly camp. Channel 4 does indeed assure us that The Inheritance will be camp, with Liz promising that The Deceased 'dresses to the nines in every scene'. It will also be 'cut-throat and completely gripping', which either points a fatal fondness for alliteration or is another way of saying 'this is definitely as good as The Traitors, we swear'. [ The Traitors Ireland: Slane Castle heir on how reality TV show marks new chapter for a venue 'full of stories' Opens in new window ] The Inheritance, co-produced by The Traitors UK makers Studio Lambert, doesn't exist in a vacuum. It continues a pattern of actors – and not perennially out-of-work Joey Tribbiani-type actors either – signing on to headline a new-ish breed of TV confections that sit at the intersection of gameshow and reality series. Actors have long presented gameshows, of course, but the names now muscling in on the patch are becoming starrier, more acclaimed and more likely to prompt speculation about the big pay cheques that must have been waved in their face. It began in the US, where its version of The Traitors is presented by Scottish actor Alan Cumming, the host with the most major acting awards. Does his Emmy for the persona he adopts while presenting the reality competition series rank among them? He would probably say so. 'I act my socks off in The Traitors, just like I did on The Good Wife,' he said last year . You can see why there was a long queue of people keen to front The Traitors Ireland – an honour that went to Sister Michael herself, actor Siobhán McSweeney . There's no better example of the trend than Jamie Foxx, who won the best actor Oscar in 2005 and now hosts Fox gameshow Beat Shazam. The industry being the international affair that it is, this is filmed in Dublin, meaning Jamie Foxx got to visit Johnnie Fox's pub. But the phenomenon also thrives outside the US, with ITV recently gifting us Genius Game with video-link inserts from David Tennant. This show was baffling in so many respects that the question 'why is David Tennant fronting an ITV gameshow?' was the least of it, frankly. Maybe he wanted to emulate fellow Rivals star Danny Dyer, erstwhile host of The Wall. [ Genius Game review: David Tennant's new show deserves to be sent to dunce's corner Opens in new window ] I did enjoy the bit on Genius Game where one of the contestants explained that it was 'not just about being the best, but knowing when to be the best and when not to be the best' – a strategy I plan to implement at work. Speaking of The Irish Times, I must inform my more televisual-minded colleagues that the dream is over. The dream of having a CV that includes both 'journalist for The Irish Times' and 'well-paid gameshow host', like the late Henry Kelly of Going for Gold, is toast. It's an A-lister business now. Everyone else is playing catch-up.

Elizabeth Hurley emerges from a coffin in shocking new project after taking a major step in 'lovely' relationship with Billy Ray Cyrus
Elizabeth Hurley has taken on a surprising new role - that of a dead person in a new Channel 4 reality series. The actress, 59, will appear alongside Rob Rinder in the upcoming show which sees thirteen strangers are summoned to a grand stately home. They are there to compete for part of the fortune left in the will of The Deceased, a fabulously glamourous benefactor played by Elizabeth. But winning the money won't be easy. The Deceased had a wicked sense of humour and has designed a mischievous game to ensure only the best players can get their hands on her inheritance. Overseeing the stipulations of The Deceased's will is her Executor and trusted legal counsel, Good Morning Britain regular Robert Rinder. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'It's a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside and she dresses to the nines in every scene,' Elizabeth said. Rob added: 'This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. 'As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check - more or less - and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased.' It comes after Eizabeth and her boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus appear to be taking their relationship to the next level. While headlining the Breast Cancer Research Foundation's Hot Pink Party in New York City on May 13, the Bedazzled star said the move would come in conjunction with her upcoming 60th birthday. 'He should be in England for my birthday. He'll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it'll be lovely,' she told Hello! magazine. The eternal beauty told the outlet she doesn't mind getting older. 'I love every birthday. I always get overexcited if it's a big birthday – I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it,' she explained. The couple shocked their fans when they revealed they were together, sharing a sexy snap on Easter day. 'Billy's a lovely man and we make each other very happy,' she told at the same event. Since then, the Then Came You star has provided glimpses into their life on the country singer's sprawling Nashville farm, including a recent sunset ride, on social media. She revealed the true depth of her feelings for Billy, 63, while sharing a very loved-up snap of them to Instagram earlier this month. The model revealed it's true love as she took to the comments sharing a black heart emoji before writing 'you xx'. Hurley and Cyrus met when they were working on 2022's Christmas in Paradise. 'Billy Ray Cyrus was an absolute hoot,' Hurley told the Boston Herald in an interview promoting the comedy. 'He should be in England for my birthday. He'll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it'll be lovely,' Hurley, 59, told Hello! magazine May 13 in New York City The friendship seemed to turn into something more after the Strictly Confidential star reached out to her former co-star after his divorce from ex Firerose in 2024. In early April, Hurley dropped a big clue about the romance when she uploaded a reel of herself on Instagram frolicking on the beach with Cyrus's 'She's Not Cryin' Anymore playing beneath it and tagging the singer. The country crooner opened up about the new relationship on Apple Music Country's The Ty Bentli Show. 'It's great that God brought them into my life when he did. It's just a good thing. It's been a long time since I've been this happy,' he said.
