THREE men were stabbed during a mass brawl at a sex party staged by self-style Lord Eddie Davenport.
A bloodbath erupted at his notorious Marylebone Mansion in Portland Place, central London.

The trouble is suspected to have involved drug dealers operating at the sex party.
A group of men used knives to stab party-goers during the fight at 7am on Sunday.
Cops and paramedics were called to the sleazy address, where Bonnie Blue recently slept with more than a 1,000 men in 12 hours.
Emergency workers were confronted with a bloodbath when they arrived.
One source said: “There was blood everywhere with people lying injured all over the place.
“It looked like a battle scene rather than a sex club.”
Four men were taken to hospital with injuries.
Three of them had stab wounds though none of the injured were left in a life-threatening condition.
Police arrested three men on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and drug supply offences.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “Police were called to an address at Portland Place, W1 at 07:00hrs on Sunday, 23 February following reports of an assault.
“Officers attended with the London Ambulance Service and four men were taken to hospital.
“Three of the victims had sustained stab wounds. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
“Police arrested three men, including one man on suspicion of GBH and possession with intent to supply, one man on suspicion of GBH and another man on suspicion of possession with intent to supply.”
It is understood the arrested men have been bailed.
Police have taken out a Section 76 Closure Notice on the property to prevent access to it and the risk of further disruption.
Convicted fraudster Davenport, 58, last year managed to stop police from shutting down his parties at the £15 million mansion.
Officers had been called 63 times to incidents involving his property following parties, thanks to noise complaints, alleged drug use, and rowdy partygoers.
The mansion block was used by 25-year-old Bonnie Blue – real name Tia Bellinger – to sleep with more than 1,000 men in 12 hours.
She revealed how she was left covered in bruises and bite marks from the controversial sex marathon.
Davenport told The Sun this week: “The whole day was the craziest I’ve ever experienced.
“Men queued from the basement to the top floor in balaclavas and a lot lost their virginities that day.”
Davenport – also known as Fast Eddie – made his name by organising Gatecrasher Balls for wealthy young toffs in the late 1980’s.
He was convicted in 2011 of an advance-fee fraud and jailed for seven years and eight months.
The socialite later set up his sex party business at the mansion block formerly owned by the Sierra Leone government.
Davenport controversially acquired a lease on the building for £50,000 in the late 1990’s and later began staging orgies there.

PRINCESS Diana’s former lover James Hewitt has spoken out about the ongoing feud between Prince William and Prince Harry.
In a rare TV interview, the 66-year-old claimed the late Princess of Wales would have done “her best to try and get them together.”

GettyJames claims Diana would have wanted William and Harry to patch things up[/caption]
The two brothers feud has been ongoing since the Duke of Sussex’s departure from royal life in 2020, with Harry making scathing remarks against his brother in his Spare memoir.
The former cavalry officer appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and said the late royal would have had the ability to “make a rapprochement possible” between her sons.
James told host Richard Madeley: “I think any mother would be worried and concerned about such a rift, as you put it, and she’d do her best to try and get them together.”
Princess Diana had a five-year affair with James between 1986 and 1991 after they met at a Mayfair party, and she asked him to help her overcome her fear of horses by giving her riding lessons.
After marrying the then-Prince Charles in 1981, the royal couple separated in 1992 and divorced in 1996 – with Diana confessing to her affair with James during her BBC Panorama interview in 1995.
In the chat she admitted the extramarital liaison, saying: “Yes, I adored him. Yes, I was in love with him.”
James said he was left suicidal after the princess dumped him in 1991.
Diana also told interviewer Martin Bashir she was desperately unhappy after Charles rekindled his own romance with Camilla Parker-Bowles, following the birth of second son Prince Harry.
James has kept a low profile since a near-fatal heart attack in May 2017 when doctors gave him a ‘slim chance’ of survival but has previously said he has regrets over the affair.
“I loved Diana,” he previously said. “I love her still, but part of me wished it had never happened.”
However, he appeared on Good Morning this morning to chat about his involvement in Operation Safedrop, which is sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
He also spoke about Diana’s Panorama interview and said: “It was a stitch up job.
“It was appalling of Bashir to inveigled, lied to her, criminal activity, absolutely appalling.

James Hewitton Good Morning Britain
“As I’ve said, I hate bullies and bullying and arrogant people and I think it’s appalling.”
James was also asked when he last spoke to Diana, and he claimed “just after” [that], but admitted it was a “distant” chat.
He also admitted the interview “did create problems”, but he is trying to “move on from that.”

A timeline of Prince Harry's family feud
The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace.
Once she’d returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat.
He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly.
The younger prince reportedly didn’t take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he “went mental”.
The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.
Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.
The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.
The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.
Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.
The move further increased rumours of a fallout.
Harry also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.
Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.
In Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.
Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.
Harry flew back to the US the following day – without seeing Wills.
In May he visited the UK for a three-day visit without seeing King Charles or Prince William.
Prince Harry claims
Over the years, James has been forced to deny numerous false rumours over the years he is Prince Harry‘s dad.
In a interview with Australian Channel Seven’s Sunday Night host Melissa Doyle, Hewitt was asked if he was the royal’s dad and he replied: “No I’m not.”
James said he was left suicidal after the princess dumped him in 1991Rex Features
He said: “A simple comparison of dates proves it is impossible for Hewitt to be Harry’s father. Only once did I ever discuss it with her, and Diana was in tears about it.
“Harry was born on September 15, 1984, which means he was conceived around Christmas 1983, when his brother, William, was 18 months old.
“Diana did not meet James Hewitt until the summer of 1986.
Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell has insisted the claims are “farcical”.
Royal affair
In his biography, Love and War, Hewitt claimed he had actually met Diana before, shortly after her 1981 wedding, but that she had changed dramatically during the five years between.
“When we had first met five years before [the affair], she had been fun, charming, flirtatious,” he wrote.
“She could make the sullen waters of the Serpentine sparkle just by riding past them. But now she was sad… She was a hurt, lonely married woman and I became obsessed with her.”
At the time of their affair, the then-25-year-old Princess was on a 39 day “trial separation” from Prince Charles.

The infidelity began shortly afterwards, at her apartment in Kensington Palace, after she invited Hewitt, then 28, for dinner.
“She was tall, willowy, strikingly beautiful and utterly adorable,” he wrote. “She smelled fresh and very English.”
Diana reportedly told him: “I need you. I can’t stand it when I’m away from you.”
Hewitt revealed that the couple made love on her four poster bed and the bathroom floor, and had claimed it was Diana who initiated the affair.
Speaking to Zoo in January 2013, he said: “The situation that Princess Diana and I were in made it exciting and sexy because it was risky.
“The danger spiced it up a bit, if you know what I mean.”
Charles ‘betrayal’
Diana was said to have wanted an affair due to Charles’ ‘betrayal’ with Camilla
Former royal bodyguard Ken Wharfe has since revealed that the princess “was ready for an affair” because of her “husband’s betrayal”.
“Hewitt, a natural womaniser, gave her the attention and affection she relished, and then the passion she yearned for,” he said.
As the affair carried on, the venue for the lovers’ liaisons shifted to Ebford Cottage in Devon, owned by Hewitt’s mum, Shirley.
I loved Diana. love her still, but part of me wished it had never happened
James Hewitt
Diana would phone Shirley to make arrangements, using the code name Julia and, sometimes, a mock cockney accent.
“She could have been an SAS commander, such was her skill and ingenuity at managing our very secret affair,” said Hewitt.
Ken would drive his ward to the 17th century cottage and cook the couple Italian food while they snuggled up on the sofa drinking orange vodka, “purloined from the cellars at Highgrove”.
RexDiana met James at a Mayfair party, and she asked him to help her overcome her fear of horses by giving her riding lessons[/caption]
Diana would then don her marigolds and wash up – relishing the chance to “play house” away from the servants and ladies in waiting of her royal life – before playing cards late into the night.
James claimed the affair only ended after he decided to cooperate with the controversial book Princess in Love, by Anna Pasternak, that revealed the affair.
He wrote: “Diana seemed unconcerned, but it was the biggest mistake I have every made in my life.”
He said the decision marked the end of the affair and his Army career, and he considered suicide.
“I got in my car and loaded a few things up to get on the ferry to go to France – to shoot myself,” he told US TV show Edition.
She [Diana] was tall, willowy, strikingly beautiful and utterly adorable
James Hewitt
“Then my mother insisted on coming with me. If she hadn’t, I would probably have shot myself. So I owe her my life really.”
Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, told the Panorama interview she felt “very let down” by his part in the book but Hewitt seemed to suggest he didn’t feel he had betrayed her.
Hewitt went on to open a golf club and bar in Marbella, in 2009, which closed four years later.
He has also appeared in various reality TV shows including Hell’s Kitchen and X Factor – Battle of the Stars.
Everything you need to know about Princess Diana's final years
In 1997, Princess Diana spent her summer in the south of France and Italy. During August, she visited Sarajevo, Bosnia, to highlight the fight against landmines.
By the end of the month, the Princess of Wales and Dodi Al-Fayed travelled to Paris together.
Her funeral was held on September 6, 1997. As her coffin made the journey from Kensington Palace to Westminister Abbey, Prince William and Prince Harry walked behind their late mother.

A MUM-OF-SIX shared the impressive haul she picked up for a steal at her local Asda.
The bargain hunter revealed that she saved a whopping £92 on her grocery shop.
ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUKA mum-of-six shared the extensive haul she picked up from the ‘reduced to clear’ section at Asda[/caption]
ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUKThe bargain hunter explained that her children go through toiletries at a ‘crazy’ rate[/caption]
According to the mum, she found some of her bargain buys on “the normal shelves”, while others could be found in the reduced section.
“Apparently they have a number of lines they are no longer stocking so are reduced to clear,” she told her fellow Facebook users.
And despite the shockingly low prices, the poster said all her Asda buys had “really long dates”.
Her haul included everything from cereal and snacks to cleaning buys and toiletries.
“I bought all the Radox Shower gel bottles on the shelf as it’s the one I use but the rest, there were loads left on the shelves,” she explained.
“It may seem a lot to buy but I have six children, including four teenagers, so we get through a lot of food and the amount of shower gel we get through is crazy.”
The photos in the post showed the size of her impressive shopping spree.
She picked up 10 bottles of Radox Shower Gel, which normally retails at £1.44, for just 50p each.
The mum also purchased four Radox Shower Gel refill pouches at 88p each, these are available on Asda’s website for £1.73.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
The mum also nabbed a six-pack of Appletiser, which normally costs £3.24 for just 25p.
An eight-pack Rice Krispie Squares was reduced from £3 to 75p, with the Facebook user adding three to her trolley.
She also picked up six boxes of Cheerios, which normally cost £3.50 a-piece for just 28p each.
There were six boxes of Pop Tarts in the haul, reduced from £3 each to just 75p.
And while her two 500 gram tins of KP Nuts only cost her £1.05 each, a 250 gram bag would set you back £3.25 on the Asda Website.
The mum also picked up seven 32p Quakers Oats Pots, which normally retail for £1.29.
Finally, she added two tins of Bisto Gravy Granules to her trolley for just £1.86, a half-off special.
In total, a shopping haul that should’ve set the mum back £136.09 only cost her £44.11, saving her a whopping £91.98.
Facebook users shared their thoughts on the impressive savings in the comments section.
“What an amazing shop,” wrote one impressed commenter.
“Wow this is excellent. I wish we had an Asda near,” said another person.
“From a family of four, two of them being teenagers. That is not a lot. Congratulations on your bargains,” commented a third Facebook user.

WHAT started out as an online joke has now become a grim reality at Manchester United.
The Red Devils announced a new round of cost-cutting measures this week, unbelievably confirming speculative predictions from an online video by bookies Paddy Power.

YOUTUBEClips from the video seem to have come true[/caption]
AlamySir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos have announced a new wave of cost-cutting measures[/caption]
And some of their far-fetched ideas for how United could save money appear to have actually come true in the club’s newest cuts.
Paddy Power’s video showed staff being given “free pizza and water”, an eerie foreshadowing for the pie, chips and water in plastic cups that were given to staff when they were informed of the incoming 200-strong culling of staff at Old Trafford.
That isn’t the only thing that was seemingly predicted by Paddy Power either.
Another clip showed staff making sure that nobody was wasting fruit in the office, a joke that is closer to reality than most would think.
That’s because United have made the decision to replace the free meals on offer to staff at Old Trafford with fruit.
Some of the other predictions were a little too far-fetched, like re-using tea bags four times, shortening scarves year on year and rationing toilet paper to keep costs low.
And as much as the tongue-in-cheek video pokes fun at United’s cost-cutting, staff at the club face the very real and very serious prospect of losing their jobs.

Financial results published last week showed the club owe £391m in transfer fees and have seen interest costs since the Glazer family took over in 2005 top £1billion.
Ruben Amorim‘s side are currently 15th in the Premier League, having won just eight of their 26 league games this season.
The club is enduring its worst season on the pitch since they were relegated in the 1970s and every position lower they go costs them £4m in prize money.
The underperformance and persistent cost-cutting has led to a damning statement from the Man Utd Supporters Trust (MUST).
It reads: “Today’s financial results lay bare the scale of the financial mismanagement we have seen at Manchester United…
“Fans should not pay the price for a problem that starts with our crippling debt interest payments and is exacerbated by a decade or more of mismanagement.
“It’s time to freeze ticket prices and allow everyone – players, management, owners and fans – to get behind United and restore this club to where it belongs.”
United have outlined plans to return to glory with their ‘Project 150’.
Those plans detail how the club can become Premier League champions again by 2028 and have put weight on making the club profitable once again to make that happen.

AN elegance coach has revealed seven items of clothing she absolutely hates as it makes women look “common.”
Anna Bey, who hosts coaching services, explained which garments and shoes you should avoid at all costs.
Instagram/annabeyElegance Anna Bey shared the clothing items she thinks you should avoid if you want to look classy[/caption]
GettyFirst up were jean hot pants, as seen on Carrie Underwood[/caption]
On herYouTube 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.”
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.
PACycling shorts – as seen on Princess Diana – were also slammed by Anna[/caption]
“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
GC ImagesPuffer jackets were also a no for the elegance coach (as seen on Hailey Bieber)[/caption]
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
SplashYou may not have to keep up with Kim Kardashian, as crop top were also banned[/caption]
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
BackGridAnother 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
GettyThe 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
GC ImagesAnna 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.”

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

“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.”

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.

Channel 4Nathan claimed Lacey told him continue to relationship for ‘magazine deals’[/caption]
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”.

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.
Lacey and Nathan were one of the strongest couples on the 2024 seriesEroteme
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.”

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.”
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”

Top Channel 5 dramas
Channel 5 has become a hub for gripping drama, these are some of the best My5 has to offer.
All Creatures Great and Small – Based on the best-selling novels by real-life vet Alf Wright, the show revolves around a trio of vets working in the Yorkshire Dales in the late 1930s. Eccentric Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West) hires James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) for his veterinary practice at Skeldale House alongside himself and his younger brother Tristan (Callum Woodhouse). There James settles into his new life and even finds love with local farmer’s daughter Helen (Rachel Shenton).
The Ex-Wife– New parents Tasha (Céline Buckens) and Jack (Tom Misson) seem to have the perfect life, but the constant presence of Jack’s overly friendly but suspicious ex-wife Jen (Janet Montgomery) puts pressure on the couple. But as the series progresses it becomes less clear who the bad guy really is and how far everyone will go to get the life they think they deserve.
Heat – EastEnders alum Danny Dyer leads this four-part action thriller, set in Australia, which sees two families holidaying together during bushfire season. But instead of rest and relaxation, secrets and lies start to unravel — and not everyone will make it out alive…
Lie With Me – Another soap legend jets off to Australia, this time its EastEnders alum Charlie Brooks who takes as a married woman trying to saving her marriage by moving halfway around the world after her husband had an affair. However it’s far from plain sailing, as a young and attractive live-in nanny comes to work with the Fallmont family, and tensions soon build and eventually, someone ends up dead.
The Drowning – Jill Halfpenny plays Jodie, a woman whose life is shattered following the disappearance of her beloved four-year-old son, Daniel. However, ten years later, the grieving mother thinks she’s finally found her missing child, and embarks on a journey to discover the truth about him. But has she really just found the son she has been missing for so long?
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.
Adele Preece showed how she got her kitchen looking pristine with a lengthy cleaning ritual she completes every nighttiktok@adele_preecexThe cleaning whizz swears by bleach and even has secret appliances to keep everything looking brand newtiktok@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.
Adele never uses her display toaster and has two kettles to use in her hometiktok@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.
Traditions in the gypsy/traveller communities
Nomadic lifestyle: Traditionally, many travellers maintain a nomadic lifestyle, living in caravans and moving frequently. This mobility is a core aspect of their identity, reflecting a deep connection to freedom and independence.
Strong family bonds: Family is central to traveller culture. Extended families often live and travel together, providing a strong support network. Marriages and social events are significant community affairs, reinforcing familial ties.
Distinct Language: Many travellers speak Shelta, also known as Cant or Gammon, a distinct language that mixes elements of Irish, English, and other languages. This language serves as a cultural marker and a means of private communication within the community.
Religious practices: The traveller community often follows Roman Catholicism, with religious festivals and milestones like baptisms, communions, and weddings being particularly significant. However, individual beliefs and practices can vary widely.
Unique celebrations: Events such as horse fairs and traditional weddings are major social gatherings for travellers. These occasions are marked by elaborate preparations, vibrant attire, and communal participation.
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.”
