After taking a trip to her local Primark, Sophie nabbed all things from a matching blue co-ord and an orange swimsuit, to a black mini dress and a beach cover-up. But it was Primark's new Gingham Capri Pants that left her particularly impressed. Posting online, Sophie showed off her new fashion finds and styled her new £14 capri pants with the matching £12 top. She accessorised the outfit with a pair of gold heels and a gold bag, as well as a pair of stylish sunglasses. Alongside her short clip, the high-street shopper, who is 'addicted to fashion', wrote: 'Am I trying to be Gretchen Wieners making fetch happen with a capri pant or do they need to be returned?' The capri pants, which are decorated with an all-over gingham print, are sure to turn heads this season. According to Primark bosses, shoppers will 'level up' their new season rotation and 'embrace warm weather days in style with these must-have capri pants'. The iconic trousers, which first gained popularity in the 1950s and 60s, saw a major resurgence in the late 90s and early 2000s, feature a summer-ready gingham print that instantly draws the eye. They are cut to a cropped length that's 'perfect for sun-soaked moments' and the soft fabric has a handy stretch to it. 'I need it all ASAP!' fashion fans gasp as Primark prepares to drop new summer range, including a 'beach bag of dreams' As a result, those at Primark have described these pants as a 'comfortable option that's perfect for everyday wear.' Not only this, but Primark bosses have also claimed that the cropped design 'adds to their cool and casual appeal'. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough. And that's not all, as these pants also feature a 'flattering slim fit that smoothes effortlessly over your figure.' Many will be pleased to know that sizes range from a 6 to a size 20 and these capri pants are now available to order on the website's new Click & Collect feature. Fashion fans react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @sostylishsoph, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 156,000 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 4,006 likes, 42 comments and 586 saves too.

Elderly couple identified in Barrhaven murder-suicide
Ottawa police say the elderly couple found dead in their Barrhaven home early Tuesday morning died in a murder-suicide. On Tuesday afternoon, police identified the couple as Kurt Theoret, 84, and Virginia Theoret, 82. A police spokesperson said Kurt Theoret shot his wife and called 911 before taking his own life. Police said officers arrived at the home shortly after 1:00 a.m. where they found the bodies inside. Paramedics told CBC they were called to the residence around 1:05 a.m. and declared the man and woman dead at the scene. Police said this is Ottawa's 12th homicide of the year. The couple has owned the residence at 25 Pheasant Run Dr. since 1984 when they acquired the property for $134,000, according to property records. The home is near the intersection of Cedarview and Fallowfield roads, about 17 kilometres southwest of downtown Ottawa. Couple was 'just inseparable' Sophie Hawkins, who lives next door to the home where the bodies were found, said she'd often see the elderly couple who lived there enjoying the sun with their garage door open. The man took good care of his garden and home and was often out mowing their front lawn, she said. "They were always together, never apart. They did everything together," Hawkins said. "The only thing different I saw this week was I saw him leave in the car by himself. Usually they're just inseparable." Hawkins said the woman used a cane and was not as mobile as the man. She said she was awoken just after 1 a.m. by emergency crews on her street. "There was at least 15 cop cars, two ambulances pulled in.... We saw officers all over the place," Hawkins said. "It's just very strange for this street because it's a very quiet neighborhood." Deji Orija, who lives a few doors down and didn't know the homeowners well, said his wife saw a police vehicle parked outside their house this morning and found out what had happened from another neighbour. "It's actually shocking because this is a very quiet neighborhood," Orija said. Hawkins said she, too, is in "absolute shock." "I'm disturbed and my stomach hurts. I'm sad. I don't know what happened," she said.

Man, woman found dead in Barrhaven home
A man and woman were found dead in a Barrhaven home early Tuesday morning, according to Ottawa police. Police said in a news release they were called to the home on Pheasant Run Drive around 1:00 a.m. where they found the bodies inside. They did not say who placed the call. Paramedics told CBC they were called to the residence around 1:05 a.m. and declared the man and woman dead at the scene. Homicide investigators are not looking for suspects and do not believe there's any danger to the public, police said. Police said they have not been able to contact relatives of the deceased and are currently withholding their names. The scene is in a residential area near the intersection of Cedarview and Fallowfield roads, about 17 kilometres southwest of downtown Ottawa. Couple was 'just inseparable' Sophie Hawkins, who lives next door to the home where the bodies were found, said she'd often see the elderly couple who lived there enjoying the sun with their garage door open.
