First up were jean hot pants, as seen on Carrie Underwood[/caption]

On her YouTube channel, which has 1.85million subscribers, she wrote: “If you want to look classy and have an elegant style aesthetic, DO NOT WEAR THESE THINGS.”

1. Hot pant shorts

When it comes to holidays or summer items, you should ditch having hot pant shorts in your 2025 wardrobe, according to Anna. 

She shared: “Isn’t this nasty, or am I the only one who thinks that this is so inappropriate, so vulgar, and so rude? 

“I just don’t understand how we can live in times where this is like, ‘Oh no, but this is normal, this is fine.’

“I personally don’t want to be so intimate with people that I have to really get into the nooks and crannies of their body parts—especially when we don’t even know each other. I don’t want to be that intimate with you.

“It’s the fact that when people are walking, they don’t realize that it’s actually going up their butt crack, and from behind, it is quite distracting that some women walk around like that.”

The elegance coach said she didn’t want to sound “uptight” but said “some boundaries are necessary among strangers.”

2. Cycling shorts

Next up was an item loved by celebrities from Hailey Bieber to Princess Diana. 

Although the late royal was known for being a style icon, Anna said cycling shorts should be left out of your cupboard this year. 

She argued: “The cycling shorts and the crop top don’t belong in the elegance department whatsoever.

“In fact, I personally don’t think they’re very flattering on anyone. Plus, it just looks weird.

“It’s almost like the athleisure trend is just here like a hemorrhoid—unable to leave us and constantly needing to reinvent itself year after year.”

Taking a swipe at Justin Bieber’s chic wife Hailey, she said: “Every time I do these videos, I always go and Google something like ‘Hailey Bieber, what is she wearing?’ because I always get so many new ideas of what to put on today’s list.”

3. Puffer bomber jacket

Another item loved by Hailey and a number of famous faces is a puffer bomber jacket. 

Anna added: “That’s actually a piece of garment that I know is super popular right now, but I don’t think it belongs in the elegant aesthetic department either.

“In fact, I think it looks kind of weird. 

“It almost feels like they’re just trying really, really hard to look cool, to look edgy.”

4. Crop top

The next clothing item on Anna’s banned list was crop tops, which are loved by Kim Kardashian.

The etiquette expert explained: “My pet peeve is the crop top. 

“I cannot stand the crop top, and now the crop top has really become mainstream and oversaturated. 

“Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going anywhere, although I’m still here praying every morning, hoping that today, I won’t have to see it anymore. 

“But no—I still see it every time I step outside my door.”

5. Muscle shirt

Another Kim favourite was also barred – the muscle T-shirt[/caption]

Another item loved by Kim Kardashian on Anna’s avoid list is a “muscle T-shirt.”

Anna continued: “I think this is a garment that is very tricky to style, especially if you like to have a feminine aesthetic. 

“The reason why it looks so masculine is because it cuts off here in the arms, which really widens the upper body.

“You basically look broader and, therefore, more masculine.”

She reasoned that ladies who have a more masculine or edgy aesthetic may find the T-shirt to be a good choice.

However, she said that on her channel she focuses on “elegant, classic, or feminine aesthetic.”

6. Hoodies

The etiquette expert was also not a fan of hoodies, which have been seen on numerous celebrities, including Khloe Kardashian[/caption]

Another item loved by millions is the “dear old hoodie”, according to Anna. 

The elegance professional advised: “The hoodie set is basically a walking pajama in public. “Okay, I get it—yes, it looks very comfortable, but it also looks like you’re walking around in your loungewear in public. 

“Some people even go to the office like that!

“Again, I don’t want to sound like someone who comes from the Middle Ages—maybe that’s what you think about me, I don’t know. 

“But I just don’t think that this makes any sense. I think a little boundary is good to have. 

“You might want to keep some things private.”

7. Over-the-knee boots

Anna also wasn’t a fan of over-the-knee boots, as seen on singer-songwriter Kesha[/caption]

Last but not least, Anna said you should avoid over-the-knee boots, if you don’t want to look “common”. 

Specifically the high-heeled version. 

Anna concluded: “I know that some petite ladies struggle with this kind of boot because it shortens the leg a little. 

“The flat version is fine, but the problem is with the high-heeled version. It can easily look a little bit vulgar, right?

“I’ve certainly seen over the years how some ladies are able to style it in a way that looks really classy and sophisticated. 

“But, unfortunately, it can get tricky. If you get the styling wrong, you will instantly look more on the cheaper side—it just looks less refined.”

A SCOTS bakery chain that some fans have branded “better than Greggs” is opening a new store to celebrate a milestone birthday.

The popular pastry business has today opened the store as part of planned expansions, as they look to make significant investment in the coming years.

The family-run bakery have struck up a rivalry with a baking behemoth, with some fans calling it ‘better than Greggs’[/caption]

Bayne’s has announced that it will be celebrating its birthday in style as it cuts the red tape on a brand new branch.

The family bakers is opening its 70th shop, celebrating its 70th birthday at Perth‘s Inveralmond Retail Park.

Born in Lochore, Fife, the bakery is known for its Scottish roots and while offering a range of products has its own selection of traditional Scots baked goods on the menu.

A statement from the chain said: “We are over the moon to be celebrating the milestone of our 70th year by opening this brand-new location on the Inveralmond Retail Park – our fourth in Perth!

“Opening officially on Tuesday, we cannot wait to welcome both new and familiar faces to our latest premises.”

Reflecting on seven decades of business, John Bayne, Joint Managing Director, said: “A decade ago, we had 490 colleagues supporting 52 shops.

“Today, we’ve nearly doubled our workforce to 960, ensuring we continue to bring fresh, quality baking to communities across Scotland.

“Looking ahead, we plan to open three to four new shops annually over the next decade while continuing to invest in product innovation and digital transformation to meet evolving customer needs.”

In 1975, Bayne’s took its first steps outside of Fife by expanding to Perthshire.

The business opened its first city shop in Kinross, and has seen further growth to Dundee, and Monifieth in the late 90s and early noughties.

Mr Bayne added: At Bayne’s, our customers are at the heart of everything we do.

“Whether it’s through our popular coffee card reward program, which offers a free coffee for every eight purchased, or our ‘Moments of Joy’ initiative, which empowers staff to provide complimentary treats for special occasions, we are committed to delivering exceptional experiences.”

Stanley Bayne, Chairman of Bayne’s said: “Seventy shops in our 70th year – it’s a milestone that fills me with immense pride.

“My father, John, would be incredibly proud to see how far we’ve come; from opening our first shop in 1954 to opening our 70th shop today.

“Our success is a tribute to the generations of colleagues and bakers who have kept our ovens warm and our customers smiling.

“This new Perth shop is a symbol of our enduring commitment to Scottish baking traditions and the communities we serve.”

The chain has attracted a huge local fan base over the years, and has struck up a rivalry with some of the baking industries elite.

Some fans have even described the food as “better than Greggs“.

Reacting to the news, one fan wrote: “Bring back the Paris bun! What better way to celebrate 70 years!

Another penned: “Best chain of bakery shops ever, four in Perth, we are so lucky.

A third added: “Good luck, and lots of love, you’ll smash it.”

NATHAN Campbell has felt a backlash from fellow MAFS stars, who have branded him “sly” for refusing a “showmance” with Lacey Martin.

Last night’s reunion show saw the cast return for an explosive dinner party, but it was Nathan’s revelation about Lacey that shocked viewers.

Nathan dropped a huge revelation about why he ended him romance with Lacey[/caption]

Channel 4

Nathan claimed Lacey told him continue to relationship for ‘magazine deals’[/caption]

The Sun revealed in November that Nathan and Lacey had secretly split after filming for the E4 series ended.

However, at the beginning of last night ‘s reunion show he told the boys that Lacey only wanted to continue their romance for fame and “magazine deals”.

After arriving at the dinner party and reuniting with some of the boys, Nathan explained why he and Lacey decided to call it quits.

He said: “She just decided it was better to be mates, it was a bit one-sided. It goes into something that’s not genuine.”

Nathan then revealed that his ex had allegedly sent him a text saying she wanted to “fake” the relationship for “opportunity and money”.

He said: “Shortly after she messaged me and said after a year you get magazine deals and things like that, showmance.”

A shocked Kieran fumed: “Fake as f***,” while Orson added: “Awful.”

Nathan went on to say: “She sent me a text message saying the relationship she wanted would be a pretend one so she could get more opportunity from it and make more money but I didn’t want to do it.

“It’s a bit embarrassing, I don’t really want to talk about it to be honest.”

However, Lacey’s family have now defended her and slammed Nathan’s comments.

Both Lacey’s mum Maxine and sister Paige appeared on Married At First Sight when she wed Nathan, and didn’t have the best relationship with him,

Fans will well remember the “fajitas bust-up”, and following his “showmance” comments they have reignited their feud.

Taking to TikTok Lacey’s mum and sister were heard calling Nathan “sly”.

They also said they didn’t see anything wrong with her wanting a “showmance”.

The pair also clashed with Nathan during their time on MAFS[/caption]

Mum Maxine said: “If they could’ve made a lot of money as friends, then why not? What’s wrong with that?”

“You don’t go into this industry not to make money.

BITTER BREAK-UP

Shortly after their break-up was revealed, Lacey spoke to The Sun and told us that she feared Nathan was “faking” the romance the whole time, just for the cameras.

However, than Nathan told us it was him that had been left “brokenhearted”, and not the other way around.

Eroteme

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “Things weren’t the same off the show, it was very different.

“I’d always have to go there, she wouldn’t come to see me – those kind of arguments. I’m not too sure, things were quite different after the show.

“When you’re together, you’re 100 per cent in the same place.

“But after the experiment there was a big distance there.”

Instagram/E4

The couple called it quits not long after the show aired[/caption]

Asked who’s idea it was to break-up, Nathan said: “She decided, she said let’s just be friends.”

Speaking about how he was feeling post break-up, he said: “I’m scared to date again, I want to but my hearts still broken.

“I definitely do want to date again but there’s no one yet.”

NICKY HENDERSON hugged Constitution Hill’s owner after the superstar’s ‘frightening’ Kempton workout – as a huge market move took place.

The former Champion Hurdle king powered away from the 126-rated Aston Martini and That’s Nice on his racecourse gallop.

It was sweet relief for Henderson and Michael Buckley after their world came crashing down 12 months ago.

Constitution Hill was forced to miss last year’s Festival after a disastrous Kempton showing.

But there were no such worries this year as he looked back to his best and ready to win a second title next month.

Bookies weren’t blown away, though, with Coral keeping him 1-2 fav for the day one feature.

And the big move took place in the Mares’ Hurdle, where Brighterdaysahead was hammered back into fav on the Betfair Exchange.

Gordon Elliott’s awesome hurdler drifted markedly in the Champion Hurdle markets as Constitution Hill put on a show.

CHANNEL 5 has finally revealed the fate of All Creatures Great and Small – and fans will be thrilled.

The beloved drama, which has captured hearts with its charming tales of rural Yorkshire life, has been a firm favourite since it first hit screens in 2020.

Actor Samuel has shared an update with fans[/caption]

Following five successful series, viewers have been eagerly awaiting news on whether James Herriot and the gang would be back for more.

The beloved cast have now been given the green light to start filming for the much-anticipated sixth series.

Samuel West, who plays Siegfried Farnon, took to social media and unveiled a snapshot of a clapperboard revealing that production for the new episodes already has begun.

Taking to X – formerly Twitter – he teased: “Thanks for your kind comments about #AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall Season Five.

“Never long enough… Sad that it’s over, but we hope this will raise spirits; we started filming Season Six today, More news later.”

The show’s official Twitter account also posted the clapperboard in its own announcement.

They teased: “Attention #ACGAS fans. Exciting news the cast and crew have officially kicked off filming for Season 6 in beautiful Yorkshire today! We can’t wait to return to Darrowby with all of you soon.”

Fans rushed to the comment section to share their excitement, with one writing: “It’s that time of year again, and I couldn’t be happier about it.”

Another added: “You don’t understand how excited I am about this.”

A third penned: “Fabulous love this programme, can not wait.”

A fourth said: “So exciting such a long wait!”

A fifth chimed in: “The best show on TV.”

The release date has not been confirmed, but the new episodes are expected to air on Channel 5 in autumn.

Last time we took a trip to the 1940s Yorkshire Dales, James Herriot was back from RAF training, finally reuniting with wife Helen and baby Jimmy.

But just as life seemed to settle, disaster struck – James’ military dreams were crushed after a shock health diagnosis left him grounded.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Hall got stuck into the war effort as a blackout warden, Richard Carmody was tempted by a huge offer from Imperial College London.

And Siegfried was over the moon as Tristan made his grand return to Darrowby.

A TRAVELLER woman has shown off her nighttime reset routine and the secret ways she keeps her home looking brand new.

Adele Preece, from the UK, took to social media to show her extensive cleaning routine but people were left stunned by the extreme measures she took.

tiktok@adele_preecex

tiktok@adele_preecex

In the clip, the homemaker first got a bucket and filled it with hot water, bleach and fairy washing up liquid and said: “Nighttime reset clean for a gypsy.”

The 24-year-old also revealed that the kettle she used for cleaning was different to the one she makes drinks with.

“This kettle is actually the kettle that I use for my cleaning water,” Adele explained.

“I’ve got a different one to make coffees because I don’t want tap water in my coffee. I use only bottled.”

She first went in by spraying her hob with bleach and adding a glug of bleach to her air fryer tray to sit.

Adele also revealed that she refuses to have a bin in her chalet and prefers to use a bin bag as and when she needs it so she can throw it out immediately.

After cleaning her hob she then moved on to the oven itself which she dismantled every night to give it a thorough scrub.

She used a steam cleaner in hard to reach places as well as wiping it down with bleach.

“I’m going in with my favourite cleaning product, bleach,” she added. “And I just coat my oven with this because I just love it and I think it makes everything come up.”

She then filled up her bucket with fresh water and bleach before wiping down all of her condiments.

tiktok@adele_preecex

“You touch them while you’re eating, you’re getting grease on them, so you can’t just put them back in the cupboard,” the cleaning whizz explained.

Next, she moved on to her toaster, which she cleans out every time it’s used.

Adele added that she has two toasters – one for decoration and one to use.

“I have another toaster that I use just for making toast, cause I don’t wanna ruin my display toaster,” she explained.

The air fryer and toaster was then put away in the cupboard before she got another clean bucket of water and wiped down her countertops and kitchen island.

In another clip, she revealed that she keeps them looking brand new using plastic sheets from Dunelm to cover them.

The PVC sheets can be cut to size in stores and prices start at £3.50.

Once that task was done, Adele finished her kitchen reset by using her floor bucket and cleaning the floor on her hands and knees.

Her kitchen was sparkling and looked like it had never been touched when she was done with her cleaning routine.

Public Reaction

The clip quickly went viral with over 536k views and 36k likes on her TikTok account @adele_preecex.

People were quick to comment and seemed divided by her lengthy routine.

Some were left stunned by the amount of bleach used and questioned how necessary it was while others were in awe of her clean home.

One person wrote: “Bleach leaves toxic chemical traces, never use it on items that food will be cooked or placed in.”

Another commented: “You do realise that boiling tap water filters the water and is the same as the pointless water bottles your buying because you just wanna be weird.”

“This is hilarious! Display toaster, two kettles, bottled water for tea (you do know boiled tap water is sterile), washing jars (if your hands are clean, there’s no need) and bleached oven,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “I don’t get the hate look at the beautiful condition of this lassies home. Everything looks completely brand new. Fair play gal.”

“I don’t really understand all the hateful comments. This lady has an impeccably clean house, we don’t all have the time to do this level of cleaning but no need to hate,” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “The commitment to the nighttime reset unreal.”

EVERY trainer is looking to make a Power play in this year’s Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle.

The race, limited to conditional jockeys, has been won by the likes of Felix De Giles, JJ Slevin, Jonjo O’Neill Jr, Sean O’Keeffe and Danny Gilligan, just to name a few.

HEALY RACING

Tiernan Power Roche in full action at Fairyhouse[/caption]

It’s crucial to have a top conditional on board and this year’s hot topic is Tiernan Power Roche.

The young gun has been making waves in Ireland and has won of four of his last nine rides.

That included a win on Great Attitude, who was gambled down from 200-1 to 8s in a quite remarkable sequence.

He’s clearly a jockey that trainers trust and he could be the one who gets the plum ride in the £75,000 race.

The ante-post favourite for this year’s race is Wodhooh for Gordon Elliott, who is 6-6 over hurdles and beat William Hill Hurdle winner Joyeuse and a host of other next-time-out winners.

JP McManus has a host of potential chances including Kopeck De Mee – A French import with a big reputation – McLaurey, who won at the Dublin Racing Festival, and No Ordinary Joe.

Roche is yet to have many rides for the big stables, but he has lots of experience to call upon which will be a big plus for any trainer.

With a maximum field of 24, it would be a huge surprise if Roche wasn’t on any horses, let alone one of the favourites.

CELTIC won’t face any action from UEFA after ultras unfurled a massive banner declaring ‘Show Israel the Red Card’ prior to this month’s first leg Champions League clash.

Hoops bosses are no strangers to facing action from the European governing body as a result of the actions of their fans.

Celtic fans at the second match in Munich[/caption]

The Hoops have a two year suspended one-match away fan ban in the continent hanging over them after a massive pyro display ahead of the meeting with Borussia Dortmund in the league phase.

And they faced a massive sweat that fans wouldn’t be permitted to travel to Munich for the second leg playoff round clash after a fan threw a smoke bomb onto the pitch against Aston Villa in their final league phase match.

Those fears, though, came to nothing with UEFA chiefs deciding that the action of one isolated fan couldn’t be placed on a par with a concerted action from a group of ultras.

But there were also fears of action in the first leg of the playoff clash against the Bavarian giants, after Hoops ultras in the Green Brigade section unfurled a large banner stating ‘Show Israel the Red Card’.

The supporters in the section below the banner also held up smaller red cards featuring the same message.

A message on flyers handed out by the group read: “At the start of the 2nd half, please SHOW ‘ISRAEL‘ THE RED CARD to send a direct message to UEFA and FIFA to apply their respective statutes and suspend ‘Israel’ from competition.

“By doing so, you will not only be doing the right thing but you will be joining football fans of conscience and courage around the worlds who will be adopting the same message.”

UEFA generally take a dim view of what they call ‘political slogans’ – and are notoriously keen to act when it comes to the Israel-Palestine issue.

A number of other clubs and ultra groups across the world have since adopted similar signs, although not always in Uefa matches.

But now the SunSport has learned that NO case was opened against the Hoops for the banner in the first leg.

A smaller banner reading ‘Show Zionism the Red Card’ was unfurled in the Hoops section ahead of the second match at the Allianz Arena.

It’s unclear yet if any action will be taken over the second leg banner but for now it appears that the Hoops are in the clear.

The strikes came despite Putin insisting he wanted peace with Ukraine “as soon as possible” as Moscow continue to speak with Washington over a truce.

Explosions were heard in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Sumy, as well as in Kyiv and Cherkasy regions.

Drones were also used by Russia with several people suffering injuries. 

“Attention, due to the activity of long-range aviation of the Russian Federation, striking targets located, in particular, in the west of Ukraine, military aviation has begun to operate in the airspace of Poland,” said Warsaw’s  armed forces operation command headquarters. 

Ground-based air defences and radar reconnaissance systems were also  “put on alert”.

The NATO action was defensive amid fears Russia was unleashing missiles close to the Polish border. 

The attacks on Ukraine were reported to be continuing. 

At least two Tu-95MS bombers were reported taking off from Olenya air base in the Arctic. 

NICHOLAS Prosper was just 18 when he murdered his mum and two younger siblings.

Police revealed the disturbed teen was also plotting a mass primary school shooting.

Juliana Prosper and her two children Kyle and Giselle were found dead inside their home in September 2024[/caption]

Who is Nicholas Prosper?

On September 13, 2024, Nicholas Prosper from Luton killed his mother Juliana Falcon, 48, brother Kyle Prosper, 16, and sister Giselle Prosper, 13, in their home with a shotgun.

Police swarmed the flat at around 5.30 am following “welfare concerns”.

Horrified neighbours claimed they heard “loud bangs” that sounded like shots being fired.

Officers discovered Juliana and two of her four children dead inside the flat.

Prosper was arrested shortly afterward on Bramingham Road, where police found a loaded shotgun hidden in bushes with over 30 cartridges.

Paying tribute, the victims’ family said: “Julie was a strong, loving mother to her four beautiful children, who were her absolute world.”

“In her spare time, she was a keen athlete and enjoyed raising money for charity — she was always putting others first.

“Kyle was a kind and funny young man who loved football and boxing.

“He was creative and thriving on TikTok, a big talent with massive potential. Kyle’s friends were his everything.

“Giselle was a beautiful soul and caring young girl; she liked to laugh lots and loved her family and big brothers.”

Lea Manor High School headteacher Jess Pather also paid tribute to Giselle, saying: “We are deeply shocked at Lea Manor High School by the tragic incident that occurred on Friday in our local community.

“We are devastated by the loss of our pupil, Giselle Prosper. Giselle was a beautiful soul and a model pupil.

“She excelled in all her subjects and will be sorely missed, particularly by her friends in year nine.”

This was a truly tragic and shocking case in which three innocent members of the same family have been brutally killed by their son and brother

DCI Sam Khanna

Planned school attack

During the investigation, authorities uncovered Prosper’s sick plan to carry out a mass shooting at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, which he attended as a youngster.

Thankfully he was intercepted by police before reaching the school, preventing further harm.

Prosper was charged with three counts of murder, as well as charges including illegal firearm possession, intent to endanger life and carrying a knife in public.

He appeared at Luton Crown Court on February 24, 2025, dressed in a black T-shirt and glasses, entering guilty pleas to all charges during a brief hearing.

Sentencing

As of February 25, Prosper remains in custody at HMP Peterborough and will be sentenced on March 5, 2025.

DCI Sam Khanna from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “This was a truly tragic and shocking case in which three innocent members of the same family have been brutally killed by their son and brother.

“No words can fully describe the tragedy their loved ones have experienced, and our thoughts continue to be with them at this difficult time.

“We are pleased that Prosper has pleaded guilty and will not put his family through the pain of a trial, and that he will soon face a significant jail sentence.

“What was subsequently uncovered during our investigation left no doubt as to his intentions to carry out an attack at a school, but fortunately Prosper was apprehended before he could cause any further harm.”
