The family of a 13-year-old boy who died in a crash in Bedfordshire have said they are “utterly devastated”. The teenager, identified as Noah Campbell, died after a car was involved in a crash with him and two other teenage boys on Friday night in Flitwick. Two of the boys were riding a bike, and another was on a scooter. Noah’s family said his death “has left a hole in our lives that will remain forever”. In the statement issued by Bedfordshire Police on Sunday, the family said: “Noah was a fun, bright, handsome, athletic and incredibly well-liked boy. “Above all else, he cherished spending time with his friends and family; they were the heart of his world.” They added: “Noah was a talented and versatile sportsman. While football was his favourite sport – playing for many local teams – he was a gifted all-rounder who excelled in rugby, cricket and athletics. Outside of organised sports, Noah stayed active and adventurous; he loved challenging himself at the gym and spending time at the bike park. …
Olivia Attwood reveals ‘utterly humiliating’ Bradley Dack split over infidelity claims
Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Reality television personality Olivia Attwood has candidly addressed her “utterly humiliating” separation from footballer Bradley Dack, her husband of two years, revealing allegations of infidelity. In a series of Instagram posts shared on Tuesday evening, the 34-year-old, known for her appearances on Love Island, detailed the breakdown of her relationship with the Gillingham midfielder. This public disclosure follows recent headlines concerning their nuptials, which were reportedly not legally binding as the hotel where they married lacked a marriage licence at the time of the ceremony. Addressing her 2.6 million followers, Attwood wrote: “I have stood by Brad for the last 10 years during which he lied and cheated on me multiple times. The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.” Attwood has accused …
The Other Bennet Sister review – Utterly charming Austen spin-off gives new life to classic characters
Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Period literary adaptations have all got a little, well, sexy of late, haven’t they? Bridgerton is, of course, the pinnacle of this trend, an erotic female fantasy brought to life and clad in wigs and elaborate corsetry. Emerald Fennell’s controversial “Wuthering Heights” was essentially an aesthetically exquisite vehicle for Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie to rut against each other across a variety of al fresco locations. And then there’s the raunchy reboot of A Woman of Substance, described by reviewers as a Riders-style bonk-fest meets Succession. Hurrah, then, for The Other Bennet Sister, the BBC’s latest Jane Austen spin-off, based on the novel by Janice Hadlow. It proves the perfect antidote to all that climbing-the-walls steaminess and uninhibited shagging. The 10-part series stars Call the Midwife’s Ella Bruccoleri as Mary Bennet, the dowdy, bespectacled younger sister of Pride and Prejudice protagonist …
Leak from UK security meeting on Trump’s war request branded ‘utterly destructive’ | Politics News
Leaking details from a National Security Council (NSC) meeting is “utterly dysfunctional and destructive”, Harriet Harman has said. While there are often briefings out of cabinet and Parliamentary Labour Party meetings, revealing details of top-secret talks held by the NSC “should be a red line”, the former deputy Labour leader said. Her comments on Sky’s Electoral Dysfunction podcast come after intimate details of NSC deliberations held just preceding and following the beginning of the US-Israeli war on Iran were revealed by The Spectator. Iran war latest – follow live The magazine reported that at a meeting last Friday, Sir Keir Starmer wanted to allow the US to use British bases for political reasons, but was blocked by four cabinet ministers, led by Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. The prime minister then agreed to it for defensive purposes on Sunday after the US made a formal request the previous day. Although Sir Keir has said there was not a “specific decision to be made” on the Friday, the government has not denied the story, so this appears …
‘Utterly reprehensible’ Kemi Badenoch destroys Starmer over China trip | Politics | News
Kemi Badenoch condemned Keir Starmer as “utterly reprehensible” in the House of Commons as the Prime Minister insisted his trip to China has made Britain “stronger”. Sir Keir’s insistence that his trip yielded dividends for Britain and the economy was torn apart by the Tory leader in a blistering performance, which saw her argue he had “come back with next to nothing”. Ms Badenoch blasted the Prime Minister’s four-day trip to Beijing, where he was seen meeting with the communist country’s most senior leaders. She told Sir Keir: “Let me be clear, it is not the PM engaging with China that we take issue with, what we are criticism is his supine and short-termist approach. I’m sure the PM means well, but his negotiating tactic has always been to give everything away in the hope people will be nice to him in return.” “Apart from the Labubu doll in his suitcase – and I hope he’s checked it for bugs – he has come back with next to nothing.” She highlighted the Prime Minister’s championing …
Catherine O’Hara managed to make difficult characters utterly delightful | Catherine O’Hara
One of the later and less beloved Christopher Guest comedies featuring his troupe of peerless, often SCTV-related improvisers is For Your Consideration, a medium-funny savaging of Hollywood’s feverish awards-season prestige campaigning. The film’s unquestionable highlight is Catherine O’Hara, playing an actor who gets a whisper of awards buzz for a schlocky, still-filming drama called Home for Purim, and slowly loses her mind with the knowledge that she could maybe, possibly be recognized by her peers. O’Hara, known for her distinctively brassy yet malleable trill of her voice and her frequently red hair, peels back her performer’s bravado to expose the frenzied need beneath it. She somehow plays the outsized beneath the regular-sized, as her Marilyn Hack goes from plugging-away workhorse to desperate striver. Unsurprisingly, O’Hara briefly generated awards buzz of her own for playing this part; even less surprisingly, an Oscar nomination was not forthcoming. It couldn’t be; otherwise, it might have marred O’Hara’s masterclass in how certain actors, especially those specializing in comedy, are destined to go under-recognized in their lifetimes. The difference, of …
