Everyone can see the doctors in this hospital scene but you need 20/20 vision to spot the hidden werewolf in 7 seconds

THIS is the tricky teaser to test your vision and brain power.

Everyone can see the three doctors hanging out in the hospital, but only those with 20/20 vision are able to spot the hidden werewolf within seven seconds.

When you turn up to the hospital it’s usually because you need medical help of some kind.

And in your hour of need, you would hope to be cared for by capable and considerate staff.

A werewolf doesn’t fit that description at all.

They are people who possess a very unusual ability.

When a full moon rises, they transform into enormous wolf-like creatures.

Werewolves are usually considered to be the stuff of folklore – and films like Harry Potter.

But he we have in front of us indisputable evidence of a werewolf walking among us.

In fact, he puts on his uniform every day and goes to work as a doctor.

The question is – which of the three men in the picture is our shapeshifter?

Here’s a clue if you’re struggling.

Think about what might be a werewolf’s most distinctive features – and then see if any of the docs sport them too.

Time must be running out by now – so hurry up!

But don’t worry if you can’t figure the puzzle out – we’ve included the answer below.

Optical illusions can also be a great way to test your senses and mental cognition.

They can force people to look past clear and obvious images.

This process can help to stimulate several parts of the brain at the same time.

How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?

Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Some benefits include:

  • Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
  • Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
  • Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
  • Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
  • Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.

As you can see in the solution below, the doctor on the RIGHT is the werewolf hiding in plain sight.

You could have figured it out from his pointed teeth and menacing eyes.

If you enjoyed that task, why not try some more below?

The answers are at the bottom of the page as always.

Urgent ‘priceless gift of life’ appeal for people to donate blood as Storm Eowyn knocks supplies amid 12k donations plea

THE national blood supply has plummeted across Ireland due to “exceptionally high demand” for donations over the last year.

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service said that severe weather conditions like Storm Eowyn combined with high levels of respiratory illnesses have led to a significant reduction in blood donations.

The service has urged the public to give blood over the next few days as fears grow over scarce stocks, with just a few days supply left in most blood groups.

Paul McKinney, IBTS’ Director of Donor Services and Logistics, explained: “In order to avoid putting further pressure on our hospital system, we need over 12,000 donations in the coming days and weeks, to restore the blood supply, and safely support our health service.

“In 2024, the IBTS issued the highest number of blood donation units to Irish hospitals in over a decade, at just under 128,500 units.

“This exceptionally high demand has continued unabated into 2025.”

New donors, younger donors and donors of all ethnicities have all be urged to come forward and donate blood in the coming days.

McKinney said: “We are asking people who might never have given blood before, or it’s been a while, to make it their goal to give blood, and the priceless gift of life, to those in our communities and hospitals who need it.”

The service has urged the public to give blood at the 12 clinics open across Ireland this week.

Giveblood.ie said online: “Following the impact of Storm Eowyn, IBTS has issued an urgent appeal for blood donations with supplies very low.

“We need this week’s clinics to be filled to avoid an impact on our hospitals!”

The clinics listed below will be running between January 27 and February 2:

  • Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan
  • Bantry, Co Cork
  • Duleek, Co Meath
  • Kilrush, Co Clare
  • Kingscourt, Co Cavan
  • Listowel, Co Kerry
  • Malahide, Co Dublin
  • Portlaoise, Co Laois
  • Rathkeale, Co Limerick
  • Skibbereen, Co Cork
  • Swords, Co Dublin
  • Westport, Co Mayo

Stillorgan, Dublin; D’Olier Street, Dublin; and St Finbarr’s, Cork will continue to see weekly clinics operating.

The IBTS added: “IBTS has issued an urgent appeal, in the wake of Storm Eowyn, for blood donations, with supplies very low.

“Between the severe weather, high demand, and illness in our communities, we need over 12,000 donations in the coming days and weeks, including pre bank holiday.

“Be a life saver and give blood at one of our blood donation clinics this week.

“Existing donors can book an appointment online and all possible donors can call 1800 731 137 to find available appointments.”

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE DONATING?

HERE'S everything you need to know about giving blood:

  • Check your likely eligibility by taking the short new donor eligibility quiz
  • There is also a lot more information about eligibility in the FAQ section on the IBTS wesbite, or you can call 1800 731 137 if you want to talk to someone and ask further questions
  • If eligible now (or in the future after any advised waiting period) an appointment will be arranged to give blood or a sample
  • If for your first donation, you are only able to give a sample (as is often the case), you only need to wait 42 days to be able to give full donations – and then every 90 days between donations!
  • If for any reason you are unable to give blood, please encourage your friends and family to become blood donors 

Those interested in donating blood have been urged to check their eligibility before attending a clinic.

The IBTS has confirmed that Ireland needs more donors from all backgrounds to meet the needs of “all our patients” in hospitals.

It said: “Increasingly more people of diverse backgrounds are now eligible to give blood in Ireland including many of whom were previously unable, including donors of African heritage.

“The recent introduction of malarial testing for blood donation samples means we can now take blood from a far more diverse range of donors than previously.

“Many potential donors who were not eligible previously, including people born or who resided in a malarial area for a longer period of time, may now be able to give blood, subject to other normal criteria.”

Best Six Nations stars of all time revealed with England legend No1 and Red Rose dominating top 10

ENGLAND legend Jonny Wilkinson has been named the best Six Nations player of all time – ahead of Welsh stars Sir Gareth Edwards and JPR Williams.

The World Cup-winning fly half had a glittering career, with a total of 91 caps for England as well as hoovering up trophies at club level.

Irish captain Brian O’Driscoll placed fourth on the list, with his fearlessness securing his legacy as one of the most exciting players in Six Nations history.

While English rugby fans also championed Martin Johnson, whose ball carrying skills and physical resilience made him a modern icon, landing him in fifth place.

The poll of 2,000 rugby fans also revealed generational divides in player preferences, with older fans opting for legends from the ‘Five Nations’ era, such as Wales’ Edwards.

A spokesperson for Lottoland.co.uk, which commissioned the research alongside its Sportsbook team, said: “We’ve been lucky enough to have seen some incredible players down the years.

“As the Five Nations changed to Six, some things haven’t changed at all when it comes to making yourself a hero of the game.

“It’s not even all about winning, it’s about the way they made fans feel, and their contributions to exciting matches.”

The study also found some players Brits believe have been overrated in the Nations tournaments, with Jeremy Guscott topping the list.

But teamwork and the ability to elevate teammates were the attributes players most needed to be in the ‘GOAT’ conversation (36 per cent).

While 29 per cent wanted to see a consistency in performance across matches, and the same amount opted for technical ability.

Although 23 per cent simply liked a player who exhibited passion and pride in representing their nation.

Nearly a fifth (18 per cent) have been so moved by a Five or Six Nations player they’d consider naming a child after them – if they hadn’t already done so.

Ireland are the favourites to take home the win from this year’s tournament, with 27 per cent believing they’ll go all the way – compared to 25 per cent opting for England.

Just one per cent think Italy have what it takes to win, with 10 per cent also believing they shouldn’t even remain in the event.

In fact, 21 per cent of rugby fans, polled via OnePoll, would like to see the Six Nations expanded to include more teams.

Lottoland’s spokesperson added: “Rugby fans are as passionate off the pitch as the players are on it, and the Six Nations always sparks lively debates about the legends of the game.

“From record-breaking moments to unforgettable performances, every fan has their favourites—and that’s what makes these conversations so engaging.

“The beauty of rugby is that every generation has its icons, and the Six Nations is the stage where many of them shine.”

Fury as Good Morning Britain host fails to mention Jews as being victims of the Holocaust in ‘baffling’ mistake

A GOOD Morning Britain host has sparked fury after failing to mention Jews as being victims of the Holocaust.

Ranvir Singh has apologised after making the “baffling” mistake during the ITV show’s coverage of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on Monday.

Holocaust Memorial Day celebrates the closing of the Nazis’ biggest death camp by Allied forces on January 27 1945.

During a news segment, Ms Singh, 47, reported how King Charles was due to become the first British monarch to visit the site as part of a special service.

However, when listing the victims of the death camps, she mentioned a number of targeted groups, but failed to include those of the Jewish faith – the group which suffered the largest number of deaths.

Ms Singh said: “Six million people were killed in concentration camps during the Second World War, as well as millions of others because they were Polish, disabled, gay or belonged to another ethnic group.”

The Campaign Against Antisemitism shared the clip on X and blasted the host for her omission, saying it “truly beggars belief”, adding it was “dire reporting”.

It went on to say: “Additionally, there is bafflingly no utterance of the word ‘antisemitism’ whatsoever.

“If this is intended to pay respect to the victims of Holocaust Memorial Day, it has failed abysmally and ignores the true nature of this horrific event.”

The group said during an entire two-minute segment on the anniversary, which included cutting away from Ms Singh to correspondent Nick Dixon live from Auschwitz, there was only one mention of Jews.

It referred to former history students taking a tour of the Jewish quarter of Kraków but failed to contextualise the significance.

In an apology today, Ms Singh said: “In yesterday’s news, when we reported on the memorial events in Auschwitz, we said six million people were killed in the Holocaust but crucially failed to say they were Jewish. That was our mistake, which we apologise for.”

HOLOCAUST

More than a million people were murdered by the Nazis at the site during the Second World War.

They comprised mostly of Jews, but also Poles, Soviet prisoners of war and other nationalities were killed as part of the Holocaust.

In total, more than six million Jewish men, women and children were killed.

The camp was finally liberated by soldiers of the 60th Army of the First Ukrainian Front.

Yesterday, King Charles, 76, walked through the entrance to the camp to mark the anniversary after hearing harrowing stories from Holocaust survivors.

He was joined by fellow monarchs including Spain‘s King Felipe and Queen Letizia, Belgium‘s King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, Norway‘s Crown Prince Haakon, and Sweden‘s Crown Princess Victoria.

Charles initially visited the Jewish Community Centre, also meeting volunteers and wellwishers, as well as unveiling a plaque.

During a speech, Charles said the testimony of survivors teaches us to “never be a bystander in the face of violence and hate”.

He went on to say, remembering the “evils of the past remains a vital task”, and knowledge should be used to inspire people to “build a kinder and more compassionate world”.

He described the anniversary as a “sombre and indeed a sacred moment”.

It comes as Princess Kate joined husband Prince William to pay tribute to the six million Jews who died during one of humanity’s darkest hours at an event in London yesterday.

William gave a reading and lit a candle at a moving ceremony.

The Sun has approached ITV and the Jewish Leadership Council for comment.

Campaign Against Antisemitism full statement

Six million people were killed in concentration camps during the Second World War, as well as millions of others because they were Polish, disabled, gay, or belonged to another ethnic group.

Jews. The word you’re looking for is ‘Jews’, not ‘people’. This truly beggars belief.

This dire reporting is not only factually incorrect but erases Jews from a genocide in which six million Jewish men, women and children were slaughtered specifically because they were Jews.

How is it possible, therefore, that on Holocaust Memorial Day of all days, @GMB manages to acknowledge several other groups but not Jews?

To make matters worse, there is no reference to Jewish people at all for over two minutes into this segment, and when there finally is one, it is only done once and in regard to former history students taking a tour of the Jewish quarter of Kraków.

Additionally, there is bafflingly no utterance of the word “antisemitism” whatsoever. If this is intended to pay respect to the victims of Holocaust Memorial Day, it has failed abysmally and ignores the true nature of this horrific event.

How on earth was this allowed to happen, @ITV? We demand an explanation.

It’s the biggest dump of the series yet, with Maya Jama arriving to swing the axe.

The kicking occurred after viewers chose their favourite boys and girls.

A source said: “The viewers set the ball rolling with a vote for their favourite girl and favourite boy at the end of Sunday night’s show.

“There were then tough decisions for the Islanders to make, with some of them playing a part in deciding who exactly left the villa and who got to stay.

“Viewers will be truly shocked at who ended up leaving.”

In scenes that might be shown in tonight’s episode, the action goes down at the firepit and the Islanders are wracked with the tense decision they’re asked to make.

The culling made way for new bombshell Danielle Sellers, who The Sun revealed has already arrived in the Cape Town villa.

The source added: “It came at a tense time in the villa after Luca and Scott’s row, with loyalties all over the place.

“Only the girls are really tight right now, with the boys especially ripped apart and Kaz and Catherine divided over Montel.

“It’s not clear to viewers at this stage who will battle to save who and we could end up saying goodbye to some unlikely Islanders.”

Last night the fallout from Vegas Night continued.

Luca apologised to Tina for humiliating her in front of the villa when he revealed. in spite, that Scott wasn’t into her.

Scott and Luca almost came to blows in the dramatic scenes, but in a massive U-turn, Luca ended up in tears.

The regretful star patched things up with Scott – who also attempted to make amends with Tina.

EastEnders star stuns fans with new role in Call the Midwife – 19 years after leaving BBC soap

CALL The Midwife has welcomed an EastEnders star into the cast, as it aired its latest pregnancy storyline from Poplar.

BBC viewers tuned in for the latest storyline from the Poplar midwives, with a familiar face from another BBC programme making their appearance.

The latest episode saw mother of seven Peggy Wrigley (played by Rachel Tucker) turning to the midwives to plead for an abortion as she didn’t want another child.

Hiding it from her husband, she was met with a sympathetic Dr Tucker who explained that the procedure was legal but needed an additional doctor’s consent.

In a later scene Peggy is seen at home cooking for her family as her husband Jimmy Wrigley returns home, who was played by eastEnders actor Joel Beckett.

Spotting the star, fans took to social media to express their delight at seeing him in Poplar.

One person wrote on X: “It’s Jake Moon from EastEnders!”

Another shared: “Jake Moon from EastEnders and Shelley from Tracy Beaker! #callthemidwife.”

“#CallTheMidwife it’s Jake Moon!” said a third.

The episode ended in tragedy as Peggy suffered a miscarriage and later died in surgery, leaving Jimmy and their children heartbroken.

Actor Joel Beckett is best known for his appearances in EastEnders, where he played Jake Moon.

The character arrived in Walford at the end of 2004 as the cousin to Alfie Moon, played by Shane Richie.

Joel remained in the soap until 2006 before exiting amid a tangled storyline with gangsters and his romance with Chrissie Watts.

However he returned to the role last year after Chrissie was released from prison for the murder of her late husband Den Watts.

Outside of EastEnders and Call the Midwife, Joel has appeared in The Office, The Bill, Casualty, Coronation Street, Holby City and various others.

Call the Midwife currently airs every Sunday at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Call The Midwife: A breakdown

Call The Midwife first came onto the airwaves in 2012 and has been seen by millions. But what is it about?

Series one: Set in early 1957 and it explored the ‘Baby Boom generation, which included themes of poverty and post-war immigration.

Series two: Set in 1958 and it showed gas and air being introduced for pain relief for the first time. It ended with the Nonnatus House building being condemned.

Series three: Set in 1959 and it depicted gruesome conditions such as cystic fibrosis, polio and it showed the midwives in the context on prisons.

Series four: Set in 1960 under the threat of nuclear warfare and the emergency response guidelines issued by the local Civil Defence Corp. Other themes included LGBT rights, and syphilis.

Series five: Set in 1961 and it shows the care of patients with conditions such as Typhoid and strokes. We also saw the effects of thalidomide, the introduction of the contraceptive pill.

Violent past of killer dad exposed after he claimed he stabbed daughter, 14, to death with kitchen knife in ‘play-fight’

THE violent past of a killer dad who claimed he murdered his 14-year-old daughter in a “play-fight” has been revealed.

Simon Vickers claimed he was just “messing about” when he plunged a knife 11cm into Scarlett’s chest and penetrated her heart.

But jurors saw through his evil web of lies and the 50-year-old was yesterday convicted of murdering his only child.

It can now be revealed that Vickers has a criminal background with six previous convictions.

The killer dad was banged up for two years in 1993 after being found guilty of wounding with intent, the Daily Mail reports.

Further details of his violent past are likely to be exposed when Vickers is sentenced over Scarlett’s death on February 10.

The monster, who had been drinking wine and smoking cannabis on the night he killed his daughter, claimed he had accidentally hurled a knife at Scarlett.

But Teesside Crown Court heard the 11cm wound was too deep to have been a tragic mistake.

The heartless dad also attempted to claim that he was the victim after his daughter died in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor.

After his arrest, Vickers told police: “That was it. We were horse-playing.

“I must be the unluckiest man in the world.”

Chilling footage also showed him being booked into the custody suite moaning about an upcoming holiday.

He tells officers: “I just want to know how my daughter’s doing. 

“We were mucking about, playing in the kitchen, and for some reason this has gone really weird. 

“Please someone tell me. What’s going on? We are going on holiday to f***ing Gran Canaria in six weeks. F***ing hell. I don’t believe this is happening.

“I don’t understand how this has happened. Honestly.”

‘PLAY-FIGHT’ LIES

Vickers claimed the playfight started when he and Scarlett began throwing grapes at each other while mum Sarah Hall made dinner.

He said he went to “try and get her” but his daughter tried to push him away so he grabbed the tongs and chucked them.

The dad continued: “She just shouted ‘ah, ah ah’ and fell to the floor.

“Her lips were going bluer and she wasn’t listening when I was shouting at her.

“Sarah took over and the ambulance came and, f***ing hell.”

Vickers described his only child as the “love of my life” and told police his world had “gone to s***”.

He also denied telling paramedics at the scene that he picked up a knife and that it “just went in” after Scarlett “lunged towards me”.

The dad added: “There is no way in the world I would stab my child. I threw those tongs at her.

“I want to die myself. My only child – I don’t know what to say. I can’t even cry. I don’t even know what’s wrong.”

The court heard the dad gave “three different accounts at least before his formal police interview” of what happened.

But prosecutor Mark McKone KC said Vickers must have stabbed his daughter “deliberately with the knife”.

Detective Superintendent Craig Rudd, who led the investigation for Durham Constabulary, said: “Scarlett Vickers would have celebrated her 16th birthday this year. She had her whole life ahead of her.

“Yet it was cruelly cut short by her own father – a man who was meant to protect her.

“We may never know why or what caused Simon Vickers to do what he did that night.

“Sadly, today’s verdict will not bring Scarlett back, but he will now face the consequences of his actions.

“I would like to thank my investigation team for their tireless efforts in getting justice for Scarlett and the community for their cooperation and understanding while we carried out our enquiries.

“Our thoughts remain with those who cared about Scarlett.”
