TWO interior design pros have revealed the home trends they can’t stand, and it’s bad news if you’ve made a certain TV mistake.

Your TV should never be bigger than the console it’s on or mounted above, the pair said[/caption]

In a recent video the pair slated a popular some popular furniture trends that make any home looks tacky.

First up, having a large flatscreen TV isn’t always a winner, especially if the console below it is smaller than the TV itself, the pair explained.

Although Ethan confessed he’s been guilty of this mistake in the past, it’s a big no-no if it can be avoided.

“You don’t want to be the person who never does leg day at the gym and that’s what this looks like,” Robert joked.

And it’s not just TVs that give this “big back” effect, they noted.

Mirrors and art work on the wall should also never be bigger than the chest of drawers or console table below them.

It’s not just about size either, the pair added.

If you want your home to look luxurious you should make sure you mount your TV at the right height – having it too high, or even too low, won’t just hurt your neck but make your space look off-putting.

Next up on the pair’s list of interior design icks was a simple mistake many people are also guilty of, and that’s printing family photos onto large canvases.

The idea might be nice, but ultimately they can look cheap and blowing the pictures up to such a large size can make them look blurry too.

Robert said: “I don’t want to be at your house with your middle aged father staring at me while I’m laying on the sofa.

“I never think they’re tasteful, they’re usually blown up on canvas with no frame, which is the worst offender of them all.”

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t keep sentimental photos around your home – just avoid the large, pixelated canvases.

Instead, the duo suggested buying frames for you pictures, rather than making them so big.

After sharing the home icks on TikTok many people agreed, and one person commented: “I feel the same about family pictures.

“We got married last year and although frames it was giving shrine, so now they’re in the bedroom and just one is on the main floor.”

A second agreed: “So glad I’m not the only one who thinks blown up on family photos on canvas are weird!

“I just have a few photos of my daughter sprinkled around the house in cute frames.”

“Oh I HATE when people have ugly gallery walls with canvas photos, so, so bad,” another said.

And as for the TV slander, one said: “Everyone makes fun of my small TV, now I’m just gonna show them this video.”

And someone else said: “I feel like having a large TV as a focal point of the room in general is an ick.”

“Huge TVs are one of my biggest icks too,” another chimed in.

The 43-year-old, loved for playing Janine Butcher, made her new romance public as she cosied up to producer James Fuller during a walk in London last month.

James later added his own snap of him and Charlie holding hands alongside a love heart emoji.

Producer James, known for working on a string of high-profile adverts, is believed to have met Charlie last summer.

But just weeks after making things public, the pair have now gone their separate ways, with James calling Charlie an “amicable ex girlfriend.”

A source told The Sun: “They’re still really close but she wanted to concentrate on Dancing On Ice.

“It’s very demanding and she’s training six days a week. It’s hard to keep a romantic relationship going with all the hard work she’s putting in but they’re still best friends.”

The Sun has contacted Charlie’s representatives for comment.

Charlie is currently appearing on Dancing On Ice and said the show has transformed her life – teaching her valuable lessons about trust and opening up to people again.

She’s partnered up with pro skater Eric Bradford, and the Dancing On Ice Instagram account shared a clip from their recent skate routine, captioned: “Not a dry eye in the audience after Charlie and Eric’s emotional skate.”

It prompted Charlie’s now ex James to comment a lengthy message, as he wrote beneath: “Damn you guys are elegant, graceful and gorgeous! It’s a 10 for me! Can’t wait to see you skate again this Sunday!

“@charlie_brooks_xx you are easily the coolest, most thoughtful, wonderful, amicable ex girlfriend and current best friend that a boy could wish for.”

He continued: “So glad to be on this journey with you. You got this girl! So, so proud of you that words do no justice.

“Looking forward to a game of Rummikub with you after you have won this show and before you start Chitty!”

The split comes after Charlie was asked how Dancing On Ice has changed her life, and she said: “The lessons I’m learning on the ice, I swear to God, like the parallels I’m having in my own life…

“To surrender into the ice, not being resistant, like lean into me, trust him. Don’t put blocks up.

“I feel like there’s been quite a lot of unblocking and growth, connection and heart opening. It’s been amazing.”

Charlie also revealed how those lessons have helped her in her personal life, saying she has been “open to meeting people in a way that maybe I wasn’t before.”

Her new romance marks Charlie’s first public relationship since her split from Ben Hollington, her boyfriend of six years, back in 2018.

Charlie shares a daughter, Kiki, with Ibiza club owner Tony Truman, whom she split from in 2007.

Despite their separation, the pair maintained a strong co-parenting arrangement, with Tony living in a flat above Charlie and her ex Ben.

In 2021, Charlie revealed that Tony was emotional about her breakup with Ben, admitting he “cried” when the relationship ended.

And she described how the trio remained incredibly close while raising Kiki together.

DERMOT GALLAGHER pointed out a flaw with the VAR system… it can be littered with “optical illusions”.

The former match official was appearing on Sky Sports’ Ref Watch to discuss two major incidents in Chelsea’s controversial win over West Ham.

In the build up to Pedro Neto‘s all-important second-half equaliser, Jarrod Bowen was bundled over by Levi Colwill.

No foul was given and play waved on, as Chelsea went up the other end to score.

But the goal itself was also mired in controversy after Marc Cucurella was adjudged to NOT be offside.

Neto whipped the ball across with the left-back in an offside position.

However, there was much debate as to whether Marc Guiu got a flick on the ball en-route to Cucurella.

If he had, then Cucurella would absolutely have been offside.

The ball came across to Neto, who smashed the ball into the back of the net.

After a VAR check, the goal was allowed to stand, with Guiu therefore not adjudged to have got a flick.

Gallagher – who admitted the collision between Bowen and Colwill could perhaps have been a free-kick for West Ham – said it looked as though Guiu got a touch based on a still photo.

However, he called it an optical illusion as he pointed to the fact you couldn’t see a touch when watching the video.

Gallagher said: “If he touches it, without doubt Cucurella is offside.

“But you look at it, there’s one angle that I think is an optical illusion…

“It looks as though he touches it but it’s a still photo and I think still photos can be deceiving.

“You look at it and there’s no evidence he’s touched the ball.

“So I feel he’s duty bound to allow the goal.”

Gallagher went on to admit while the foul on Bowen should have been given, enough time had passed between that incident and the goal to not go back and check it.

On the goal, the Premier League commented: “The referee’s call of goal was checked and confirmed by the VAR as there was no factual evidence that Guiu made contact with the ball in the build-up, therefore there was no offside offence.”

Punxsutawney Phil was right: Winter is far from over. This week, the WBZ Weather Team at CBS News released a NEXT Weather Alert for a "kitchen sink" storm that will bring snow, ice, and rain to much of the Midwest and Northeast. This system is the first of three winter storms that are expected to make landfall over the next 10 days, in addition to the West’s forecasted flash floods. There’s a lot happening, so see how your region will be impacted below.

RELATED: Meteorologists Are Predicting a "Snow Drought" This Winter—Is Your Region Affected?

Winter Storm Freya is expected to make landfall on Wednesday.

Winter Storm Freya, a "wintry mess of ice and snow," will touch down in the Midwest, Great Lakes, mid-Atlantic, and Northeast by Wednesday night, reports The Weather Channel. The atmospheric system is expected to bring freezing rain, sleet, and light snowfall (an average of three inches) and, in some regions, a combination of all three.

North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and eastern Pennsylvania have the highest probability of snow between now and Thursday.

Most states will see a maximum of three to five inches of snow, while some areas (like upstate New York) could get up to eight. However, meteorologists say it’s also likely that snow will turn into a wintry mix with rain for folks from New York City to Boston.

Ice storms are also of concern, especially in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, the Great Lakes region, and the mid-Atlantic. In the next 72 hours, central Pennsylvania and Baltimore have a "high" probability of getting close to an inch of ice, per The Weather Channel. This will make for "hazardous travel," so be sure to check your local radar for traffic updates.

Meanwhile, an atmospheric river developing in the West will bring snow to the mountains and heavy rainfall. The Sierra Nevadas could get up to eight feet of snow, with flurries falling at "rates near two inches per hour," reports The Washington Post. This storm will affect southern Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and northwestern Wyoming.

Pouring rain has prompted officials to release a flood watch alert for central California and Sacramento Valley.

A second storm will hit the Midwest and Northeast this weekend.

As Winter Storm Freya clears out, a second storm will take its place with a similar impact. Details are still developing, but The Weather Channel forecasts "snow and a stripe of ice" across the upper Midwest and Great Lakes to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Saturday.

Come Sunday, heavy snowfalls are predicted in upstate New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, the Great Lakes, and parts of Massachusetts. But again, the storm could lose momentum and bring in more rain than snow or ice in some areas.

The good news is this system is "a quick-mover," so it’ll be over just as fast as it started.

A third storm could develop early next week.

More snow and ice could be headed our way next week, though only time will tell.

"Long-term computer model forecast guidance is hinting this active winter storm pattern might persist in the Midwest and East next week. That means one or more rounds of additional snow and ice are possible, but it's too early for details," reads a report from The Weather Channel.

SCOTT Thomas has pleaded ‘don’t give Elma a hard time’ after touching down back in the United Kingdom.

Arriving back in the UK after flying back from South Africa after departing the Love Island: All Stars villa, Scott has broken his silence and made a desperate plea.

Taking to Instagram to share a video of him breaking his silence on his Love Island exit, Scott also wrote an accompanying caption.

“Not quite the fairytale ending that I wished for but grateful for the whole experience and all the lessons learned in the @loveisland villa,” he penned in the caption.

Scott added: “I didn’t always get things quite right in there but I’m still very much learning as I go.

“But most of all I’m beyond grateful for all the love and support from every single one of you.

“It genuinely means more than you will ever know.”

Meanwhile, in the video he said: “I’ve just touched down, back at home,” before adding how he had been reunited with his dog.

Scott expressed gratitude for all of the messages he has received from fans over the last few days, before saying he didn’t get the ending he wanted, but he “wouldn’t change it [his Love Island experience] for the world”.

Speaking about his connection with Tina Stinnes, who he was coupled up with, he said they had an “amazing” bond, but “it wasn’t meant to be”.

“I’m so proud of myself, because I stayed true to myself,” Scott went on to add.

He then said: “Please don’t give Elma a hard time. She had no part to play in me leaving.

“I did that because it was a decision that I made for me.”

Scott added: “So, please, back Elma, back everybody in there. Back Luca. I wish them all well.”

COULD Jermaine Jenas’s return to broadcasting signal the beginning of the end of the toxic cancel culture which has, for so long, plagued our society?

Sadly, probably not.

But his talkSPORT comeback does provide us with a glimmer of hope that people can make mistakes and not have their careers ended for good.

Now, before I go any further, I’d like to make clear I do not condone his actions which forced BBC bosses to wield the axe on his roles there.

Sending what one of his female colleagues on The One Show said were unsolicited flirty texts is wrong, and he has caused suffering to multiple women – not least his poor wife Ellie Penfold.

His actions cannot be excused, and BBC bosses were right to give him the boot from The One Show and his Match of the Day punditry gig.

But should a man who has held his hands up and apologised profusely really be banished from doing any job ever again?

The answer from the woke brigade would be a resounding yes, of course.

But while what Jenas did was wrong on multiple levels, he has not done anything criminal.

He apologised, in an interview with The Sun, to those he had hurt – his family, friends and, most importantly, the women he had messaged.

He even admitted he had started receiving therapy, confessing he probably has a “problem”.

Now he has been offered a role back on talkSPORT – where he was working as news of his sacking broke last August – as part of the commentary team for this Sunday’s FA Cup clash between Aston Villa and Spurs.

And he clearly still has something to offer.

Here is a 41-year-old man who spent 13 years as a professional footballer, making 341 appearances for clubs including Premier League sides Spurs and Newcastle, and winning 21 senior England caps.

A man who was once touted by the great Gary Lineker as his successor as Match of the Day host.

So well done to talkSPORT chiefs for giving him a lifeline.

And here’s to hoping others will be prepared to follow suit and fight back against cancel culture.
