A PERSON has been confirmed dead in a horror car fire at a popular seaside spot.
Cops confirmed a person has tragically died in a car fire in the village of Ynyslas, Aberystwyth, on Wednesday evening.
Mid and West Wales Fire Service rushed to the scene at around 7.30pm to tackle the blaze and cops arrived after 8pm.
Response teams were aimed at a vehicle that was “well alight.”
The fire crew used a hose reel jet, a breathing apparatus set, and a thermal imaging camera to put out the fire.
When Dyfed-Powys Police arrived, a car was found on fire and the occupant was confirmed to have died.
A spokesman for Mid and West Wales Fire Service said: “At 7.26pm the crew from Aberystwyth Fire Station was called to an incident at Ynyslas in Aberystwyth.
“The crew responded to one vehicle that was well alight.
“Crew members utilised one hose reel jet, one breathing apparatus set and one thermal imaging camera to extinguish the fire.
“Sadly the vehicle’s one occupant was confirmed to have died.”
Cops said there doesn’t seem to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the incident.
A spokesman for the force said: “Dyfed-Powys Police were called by Mid and West Wales Fire Service just after 8pm on Wednesday, February 19 to a fire at Ynyslas, Aberystwyth.
“Upon attendance a car was located on fire and sadly the occupant was confirmed to have died.
“A joint investigation with MWWFS has commenced but there are believed to be no suspicious circumstances at this time. Their next of kin have been informed.”
A BOLIVIAN man who owes money to a drugs gang back home was allowed to stay in the UK.
Deputy Upper Tribunal Judge Jessica Smeaton, above, ruled he can remain for his own protection, despite no evidence he would actually be at risk.
Documents show that the anonymous man overstayed his visa in 2018.
He later failed an application for asylum. The Home Office said the persecution fears did not meet Refugee Convention criteria.
But he successfully appealed to a tribunal — which was upheld by the Upper Tribunal on January 8.
Ms Smeaton ruled he has a right to a family life, a right to life, and right to be protected from torture under the European Court of Human Rights.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “This is a ludicrous decision.
“Fundamental changes to human rights laws and the ECHR are needed.
“Foreign criminals and illegal immigrants should be removed — it’s that simple.”
It comes a week after news of the highly controversial decision to let a family from Gaza stay in Britain, with the ECHR also being cited.
The Home Office was contacted for comment.
RTE Late Late Show viewers were all left praising Fiona Shaw after tonight’s interview.
The BAFTA-winning actress joined host Patrick Kielty to discuss her renowned career in film and TV which spans over five decades.
The Cork star spoke about her iconic roles in hit TV shows such as Bad Sisters and Killing Eve, as well as her much-beloved film character in the Harry Potter franchise and My Left Foot.
She came to the RTE studio straight from the Dublin premiere of her latest film Park Avenue at the Dublin International Film Festival.
Fiona grew up in Cobh, Cork, with her mum Mary, dad Denis and three brothers, John, Mark and Peter.
And Fiona revealed tonight that despite her busy schedule, she often heads back down to the rebel county to see her elderly mum.
She explained: “I’m there a lot because my mother is very old now. She’s 99 next month.
“We seem to go back and forth a lot and that’s been very, very nice. I mean, you kind of feel you’re getting off a horse, and you’re thinking, ‘God, this place has changed’.
“I was away, I was often in the theatre and therefore away or on tour so often. I mean, I was always back for Christmas, but I’m getting to know Cork and West Cork and if ever I can escape up west.
“And I’m kind of discovering the country like a tourist and like a Yank.”
RTE viewers were all blown away by Fiona and raced to social media with compliments.
Ciara tweeted: “Didn’t realise Fiona Shaw was from Cork!!! What a woman.”
Grace said: “Fiona Shaw is our current favourite Irish actor. She’s actually phenomenal.”
Amanda commented: “Fiona Shaw the most underrated actor.”
Karen remarked: “I want her to be my best friend.”
Doieann Garrihy also sat down with Patrick and opened up about being bullied as a teen.
The 2FM host had noted that being held responsible is the nature of her profession, but some people also go over-the-top in calling her out.
And a specific experience in her youth has afforded her a thick skin meaning much of the negativity sent her way doesn’t affect her.
She said: “I was in secondary school around the time Bebo was a big thing. And listen, it comes with being a teenager as well.
“You’re sometimes in the firing line. Sometimes you’re not. I happened to be for about two years, and my parents actually were amazing at that time.
“They’ve always been very good at actually saying to us what’s going on, and sitting down every day and saying, ‘Is there anything you want to say to us’, or, ‘Anything you want to tell us?’, and just be really open with us?
“I had a tough time in fourth and fifth year, and I’m really glad actually, that my it wasn’t in my pocket. Mobile phones weren’t a big thing then, because I think that’s a massive challenge for parents and for teenagers these days and trying to navigate that.
“I’m sure it’s really difficult, but I think being open with young people and just saying, ‘You can tell me if there’s something going on’, ‘We can figure it out’.
“My parents, they didn’t intervene. They just kind of went, ‘Okay, at least we know you need to try and figure this out, because if we intervene, it’ll undermine you, and you were able to sort it out’.”
DEATH in Paradise viewers were left gobsmacked by a plot twist ‘no one saw coming’ amid criticism for the new series.
The BBC crime drama’s latest episode took DI Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet) and his team to Ambrose Distillery.
Owner Patrick Ambrose (Ansu Kabia) was poisoned while drinking a glass of rum.
His sudden death came as he’d been on the verge of selling up the distillery.
But a major plot twist revealed the dead man was, in fact, not Patrick Ambrose at all.
He was instead a criminal impostor named Sampson – who’d stolen Patrick’s identity almost two decades ago.
The real Patrick’s sister, Cora (Madeline Appiah), was unmasked as the murderer in the end.
Cora knew Sampson was an impostor – as she’d also killed the real Patrick, back in 2007.
She had found out her brother raped Janelle Dulice (Michelle Asante) that same evening – which the police team uncovered in their investigation.
Viewers were stunned by the plot twist, sharing their surprise on social media.
One wrote: “For those who guessed the ice was the clue congrats you were right.
“The imposter twist, i think no one saw coming #deathinparadise.”
Another added: “She killed the real Patrick, then 18 years later she killed imposter!Patrick.”
While a third said: “None of us could have worked that out, their was no clues until the reveal, surprised us all. #deathinparadise.”
A fourth remarked: “Oooh, didn’t see that coming! #DeathInParadise.”
As a fifth penned: “Well nobody could see that one coming whatsoever, right out of left field. #deathinparadise.”
Meanwhile, some viewers have slammed the latest series – convinced Death in Paradise has run its course.
Even long-time fans have been left wondering how much the show has left to give.
In the story, Commissioner Selywn Patterson (Don Warrington) – a staple since the beginning – is being phased out due “budget cuts”.
Death In Paradise started in 2011 and has welcomed four detectives so far to the island.
These are all of the actors who have played the lead detective in the hit BBC series so far:
Ben Miller as DI Richard Poole – Actor Ben played the first ever detective from seasons 1 to 2, and then returned as a guest star in the third and tenth series.
Kris Marshall as DI Humphrey Goodman. Next up My Family star took on the role for three years from series 3 to 6.
Ardal O’Hanlon as DI Jack Mooney. Father Ted star Ardal was a fan favourite and was the detective for three seasons from series 6 to 9.
Ralf Little as DI Neville Parker. The actor started in 2019 and is the longest-running star to have the detective role. He was on the show for four seasons from 9 to 13.
One person wrote on X: “They can’t just get rid of Selwyn as the commissioner in death in paradise what will he do?”
Another said: “I like the new guy, Mervin, on Death in Paradise. Hoping they won’t get rid of the commissioner. I adore Selwyn Patterson.”
A third posted: “If they remove the Excellent role of #CommissionerSelwyn, #DeathInParadise will no longer be a show worth watching. It will be Trash.”
Death in Paradise continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
TOWIE’S James ‘Diags’ Bennewith and Jodie Wells come face to face in excruciatingly awkward scenes from the show’s upcoming series.
The 33-year-olds, who haven’t seen each other since their breakup, meet in a retro American-style diner, and the tension between them is undeniable.
As Jodie approaches Diags, she sweetly plants a brief kiss on his cheek, but it’s clear from the start that the encounter is far from comfortable.
“Hi. You ok?” Jodie awkwardly opens the conversation.
To which Diags responds, “Yeah, you good?”
The uncomfortable atmosphere continues as Diags awkwardly mentions, “I got you a drink,” handing her a fruit bubble tea.
“I was worried you were going to get a milkshake,” Jodie admits, adding, “No, I know you don’t like milkshakes.”
The awkwardness doesn’t end there, as Diags asks, “How you been?” with Jodie responding, “Good. How have you been?”
Diags, clearly not at his best, sighs and admits, “Well, not great, but, yeah.”
It’s clear that both are struggling to find their footing, but Jodie adds, “It’s good that we’re here, though, because we need to, like, actually talk.”
Diags agrees, “I know.”
The Sun revealed last month how Diags and Jodie had broken up after first getting together in 2023.
But we later learned the pair decided to reunite after their explosive Bali trip, with the full cast backing them.
A source told us: “Jodie and Diags have had some time apart to reassess things and have realised that they want to give their relationship another go.
“It’s still early stages but they are hoping to reconcile properly and work things out.
“Jodie has a young child and wants to do the best for him.
“She believes Diags still loves her and if they both put the graft in, they believe it will work.
“The pair are dating again and have the full support of the rest of the Towie cast.
“It’s complicated but they’re ready to iron out any issues after getting advice from their friends and having some time apart.”
The couple sparked rumours of a break-up last month when they unfollowed each other on social media.
They had endured an on/off romance and often left fans guessing about the status of their relationship.
But we were told that Diags and Jodie had decided to call it quits for good, despite the mum-of-one gearing up to relocate with her son to Essex.
A source said: “The pair have been desperately trying to make things work, but just couldn’t keep things on track and have decided to split.
“There was a big disagreement over moving in together, but in the end it wasn’t just that.
“They hadn’t been getting on for a while and they were very different people.”
Just the week before, they sparked rumours of rift when eagle-eyed fans noticed the pair has unfollowed each other on social media.
Jodie even went as far as removing all traces of Diags from her Instagram account.
She also seemingly took a swipe at the Towie star when she posted a video to TikTok that fans have called “shady”.
In the video, which has been viewed over a quarter of million times, the TV star can be seen lip-syncing to the words: “It’s because your son is a f*****g p***y.”
Many fans believed she was referring to Diags.
The pair have had fans hooked on their relationship from the start.
Meeting when Jodie was an extra in the reality TV show in 2023, Diags asked her and her son to move in with him the following summer.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, Jodie said: “I like where James lives now. I would like somewhere a little bit more quiet. A bit more countryside.
“Somewhere, you feel like it would be quite a nice place to bring up a child, and I feel like it could be good for James as well.
JODIE Wells and Diags' relationship has been a whirlwind since they first met on Towie in 2023.
From making things official to facing tensions over exes, their love story has played out both on and off screen.
After a rocky breakup at the end of 2024, The Sun confirmed in February 2025 that the pair had rekindled their romance.

February 2025
The Sun reveals they have rekindled their romance.
“It’s bringing him away slightly from the party lifestyle and to think about more of a family lifestyle.”
Following that however, a love triangle threatened their relationship when Diags sent a drunken text to his ex Elma Pazar saying he missed her.
While he admitted it was a joke that “wasn’t funny”, Diags, who is one of Towie’s longest running cast members, said: “There couldn’t have been a worse person to send that message to.”
Jodie was quoted as saying at the time: “He’s just an idiot – he has a drink and he just thinks all of his jokes are funny, and they’re not.”
“I don’t think there was anything behind it. I just think he was just trying to be funny. But it’s a joke at my expense.”
More recently, the pair spent Christmas and New Year apart, sparking further speculation their relationship was on the decline.
