Zoe Ball’s boyband toyboy says there’s ‘no way’ she’d stay faithful
Remember when Zoe Ball was caught snogging a fresh-faced boyband singer in a club last year? Well, 23-year-old TayTay Starhz certainly does – he was the man in question, after all – and he’s rather unhelpfully waded into the almighty fallout following Zoe’s separation from DJ Normal Cook. 53-year-old Norman gave his missus the benefit of the doubt on that occasion, which Zoe, 45, dismissed as a “silly moment”.

Ben Needham: Picture taken in 1991 could hold clue to whereabouts of missing toddler
Detectives searching for Ben Needham on Kos believe a photo taken at the time of his disappearance could hold a clue to his whereabouts. Police believe a tree currently growing near the farmhouse where the 21-month-old toddler was last seen in 1991 was not there at the time of his disappearance. Officers have been examining a press photograph taken at the time as part of their investigation. Detective Inspector Jon Cousins, from South Yorkshire Police, told reporters: "A photograph was taken by one of your colleagues a short time after Ben disappeared. We've been able to analyse that with the experts who are here now. "We're having a look at the area around a tree that's down at the base of the farmhouse because we believe that may not have been there at the time."

Police officer saves unconscious driver and baby by ramming car off motorway
A woman who passed out at the wheel of her car with her baby in the back seat was saved after a police officer managed to ram her vehicle off the motorway. Pc Danny Pattison, of Leicestershire Police, was on patrol when he was alerted to a white Peugeot 306 driving erratically along the A42 and M1. He rushed to the scene near junction 23, where he spotted the woman's car weaving across the three-lane motorway at 30mph. Newly released footage from Pc Pattison's dashcam shows his BMW 5 Series patrol car trailing the woman's vehicle as it careened onto the hard shoulder. "I pulled up alongside and saw the woman with her head completely back, staring at the roof of the car - she was out," Pc Pattison told the Leicester Mercury. "Then I saw the child in the back. I thought, 'This is going to end up with her and the baby getting killed', so I ran through in my head all the options I had."

Trump unloads on Clinton after tough debate: ‘She can’t even make it to her car’
Amid rumors of campaign disarray and unease over his debate performance, Donald Trump took aim at Hillary Clinton in a more personal way Wednesday, mocking her for taking days off the campaign trail and suggesting she would only bring scandal to the White House if elected. Campaigning in Council Bluffs, Iowa, the celebrity businessman turned Republican presidential nominee delivered a scathing scripted speech casting Clinton as a corrupt insider who has had many opportunities to bring change to Washington but failed. For nearly a half-hour of his 45-minute speech, Trump relitigated a litany of Clinton scandals, including the flaps over her private email server and dealings between Clinton’s State Department staff and the Clinton Foundation.

Adolf Hitler could have WON Second World War 'if he had invaded the Isle of Wight'
GETTY Military historian Dr Robert Forczyk has analysed Nazi Germany war records which show that the Fuhrer had a detailed plan for the occupation of the island, which is four miles off the coast of England. In his book, 'We March Against England', Dr Forczyk claims the Fuhrer had wanted to occupy the island and use it as a base from which to carry out a Nazi bombardment of Britain. But Hitler's naval commanders are said to have talked him out of the move, as they feared the might of British submarines and overestimated the capabilities of British troops. If Hitler had invaded the Isle of Wight, he would have had a vital military base, as well as access to civilian airfields, improving the Nazis'
