Dan and wife Jacqueline have shared pictures on Instagram of their trip away with the kids.

Putting on a united front, the couple revealed they had enjoyed a weekend in Ireland.

Sharing the pictures on Instagram, the couple looked happy as they spent time with their children.

They could be seen enjoying country walks and some family time.

CHRISTINE TEXTS

The family’s trip away comes just days after The Sun exclusively revealed how Jacqueline’s husband Dan had previously sent flirty texts with Christine McGuiness.

Dan had joined Christine for raucous nights out that helped lift her spirits after her split from radio and TV host husband Paddy.

At the time, reality star Dan was still building bridges with Jacqueline over previous cheating claims.

Our source said of Christine and Dan’s texts: “She is absolutely adamant nothing sexual happened between them.

“She also was 100 per cent single at the time and could chat to anyone she wanted.”

Former Towie star Dan is adamant nothing happened romantically between the pair, even suggesting that the text messages between them were “deep fakes or AI” when asked.

Shortly after his Christine texts were revealed, Dan posted a grovelling message on one of wife Jacqueline’s Instagram post.

It came after the EastEnders star posted a stunning photo in a plunging black gown a few days ago. 

She captioned her post: “BRITISH SOAP AWARDS 2025. Celebrating 40 years of EASTENDERS with 8 wins isn’t too bad.”

Dan commented beneath it: “Beautiful!” and the comment was liked by hundreds of people.

A pal said: “Dan is devoted to Jacqueline and would hate for any suggestion of impropriety.

“Of course, it’s possible for a man and woman to be mates.”

Earlier this year, The Sun revealed Dan had moved out of his and Jacqueline’s home and into a property he had bought behind his wife’s back.

Both temporarily removed their wedding rings.

Jessie posted this message to her Instagram stories[/caption]

The former Voice coach, who shares a son with basketball player Chanan Colman, opened up about the sad news on Instagram.

In an emotional post she told fans: “I was diagnosed with early breast cancer.”

She added: “Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early’.”

Now, the brave star has taken to Instagram with a new health update for her 13million followers. 

She posted a statement reading: “Honesty time.

“Had my worst day yesterday so far since my diagnosis and the busiest 3 months I have had in years. 

“Work. Toddler. Cancer. Life etc had my mind,” the star then inputted a string of lighting emojis. 

Jessie continued: “Panic attacks/ tears/ big fears/ anger/ overwhelm. Bad.

“And you know what helped?”  

Jessie playfully went on: “I ate corn on the cob. Turns out it’s extremely hard to panic or cry while eating one. 

“Highly recommend. Instant mood shift.” 

Jessie finished by writing: “Tomorrow is a new day. The rollercoaster of cancer.

“I won’t just be talking about the highlights. And making jokes all the time. That isn’t real life.

“Goodnight. Hug ya peoples.”

The former Voice coach first opened up about the sad news on Instagram last week. 

The singer said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball in London on June 15.

“It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job,” she joked.

She told fans she was hesitant about going public about her diagnosis but that she decided to be “open” for multiple reasons.

She said: “One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough.

“I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I’m an open book.”

The Grammy nominee, who also shared her ADHD and OCD diagnoses with fans earlier this year, added that she hoped to show solidarity with other cancer patients.

She said: “It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse — that’s the bit that kills me.”

Referring to her latest tracks No Secrets and Living My Best Life, she said “you can’t make it up” – explaining she had no idea about her diagnosis at the time of recording.

Fans and fellow celebs jumped into the comments to share their support.

TV and radio personality Gaby Roslin said: “Sending you so much love and enormous hugs”.

One fan added: “Love you and your light! This won’t dim you down”.

While another said: “You are not alone. May your recovery be gentle, peaceful, and full of healing. Sending you a tight hug and all the love my heart can carry.”

Fire TV Sticks receive free sports boost that fixes common streaming issue

MILLIONS of Fire TV Stick owners are set to receive a big boost from BBC iPlayer that aims to end buffering.

The broadcaster is aiming to reduce the lag experienced by streamers watching live sports, ahead of the Wimbledon championships.

The goal is to cut the delay between the version of BBC Two broadcast via Freeview, satellite and cable and the iPlayer[/caption]

Fans watching on traditional TV can sometimes be ahead of the action.

This is especially the case if your house has slow Wi-Fi, or your areas bandwidth is being pushed to the max.

A delay in your streaming can happen when watching all kinds of content – but it’s most noticeable during sports events.

For example, you might hear your neighbour cheering for a goal before you see it on your screen.

The delay will always vary between users – but it can be up to a minute long.

The BBC is therefore trialling a low latency version of the BBC Two live stream – the one that will air this summer’s Wimbledon matches and Glastonbury sets.

The goal is to cut the delay between the version of BBC Two broadcast via Freeview, satellite and cable and the iPlayer.

Low latency refers to the time it takes for a TV signal to travel from one point to another, ideally with minimal delay. 

The BBC is trialling it in a beta version of the iPlayer app – and only on four TV streaming devices:

  • 3rd generation Amazon Fire TV Stick
  • 2nd generation Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
  • Samsung CU8000 TVs
  • Samsung CU8500 TVs

To try the BBC Two low latency, viewers will have to tune into a live stream between 9am and 5pm.

Accessing the BBC iPlayer beta requires a quick settings change – simply open the settings menu in the app and toggle on for ‘iPlayer beta’.

Viewers will also need to have their iPlayer region set to England and Scotland.

There is no low latency version of BBC Two Wales or BBC Two Northern Ireland.

Where to buy a Fire TV Stick

Fire TV Sticks are an easy way to add streaming to an older television. They’re manufactured by Amazon, but you can buy them from a number of different stores.

Horrifying photos show the true cause of man’s itchy eye – after he found a LEECH feasting on his eyeball

A BRIT travel agent’s trip to test holiday hotspots became a “nightmare” when he discovered a leech sucking on his EYEBALL.

Tony Exall was on a jungle tour near West Papua, Indonesia on May 22 this year when his left eye began to irritate him.

The 58-year-old blamed it on sweat or a tiny bug but two hours later a fellow visitor spotted that he actually had a leech on his eyeball.

A horrifying photo shows Tony’s bloodshot eye with the small black bloodsucker latched to the white area called the sclera.

Tony grew concerned it might wriggle its way behind his eye so ended his trip early to find medical help.

After six hours and trips to two hospitals a doctor extracted the leech using tweezers – despite the creature pulling on his eyeball tissue to hang on.

Tony, who owns travel company Philippine Dive Holidays, was in Indonesia to test out locations for customers when he decided to head on a photography trip.

The travel agent avoided catching an infection and achieved his aim of snapping a rare king bird-of-paradise minutes before the incident.

He posted the video to Facebook where users described it as ‘stuff nightmares are made of’ and like ‘something from a horror movie’.

Tony, from Oxted, Surrey, said: “I came over here to investigate different places to work with in Indonesia so I thought, while I’m here, I want to do a bit of bird snapping.

“We were waiting for the bird to turn up and I was sweating buckets.

“I could feel something in my eye but I just thought it was a bug. I tried to get rid of it but couldn’t so I tried to ignore it.

“There were leeches everywhere and I must have used the back of my hand to wipe the sweat so I essentially wiped it into my eye.

“A couple hours later we went to move on to somewhere else and one of my spotters pointed out the leech in my eye.

“My biggest concern was that it would get round the back of my eye. He tried to pull it out with his fingers.

“He was pinching my eyeball to get it out but the leech was fixed onto my eyeball. I tried rubbing it but I couldn’t get it out.”

Tony had trekked two hours through the jungle near Malagufuk, West Papua, to reach an area known for king bird-of-paradise sightings.

After having the leech pulled from his eye, Tony was prescribed eye drops and antibiotics to make sure he didn’t develop an infection.

You hear these stories about tropical diseases and infections and having one in your eye is not the best place to have one

Tony Exall

Tony said: “We went to two hospitals to find someone that knew something about eyes.

“At first he tried to remove it and that was quite sore because a leech grabs hold of something and starts to suck the blood.

“He started to gently pull the leech which was quite sore as it was something pulling on my eyeball.

“My next concern was how do you get it off my eye without leaving anything behind.

“You hear these stories about tropical diseases and infections and having one in your eye is not the best place to have one.

“The doctor then squirted some anaesthetic drops onto my eye, got some tweezers and pop, off it came.

“The tissue of my eye was being pulled. I have never had that sensation before.”

After sharing the “squeamish” photos of his eye on Facebook, freaked-out users were quick to comment on his bizarre experience.

One user said: “I’m not usually squeamish but that is stuff from horror movies! Hope everything is okay now.”

Another added: “Omg you need a trigger warning on this post. Sounds awful, hope you recover quickly.”

A third said: “Stuff nightmares are made of.”

A fourth added: “Dangerous stuff, this photography.”

What to do if you have a foreign object in your eye

  1. Advise the casualty not to rub their eye as this could make it worse. Ask them to sit down facing a light.
  2. Stand behind them and gently open their eyelids with your thumbs. Ask them to look right, left, up and down as you look closely at the eye.
  3. If you can see something, ask them to tip their head backwards and wash it out by pouring clean water from the inner corner from a glass or jug.
  4. If this doesn’t work and the object is still on the surface of the eye, try to remove it with a moist piece of gauze or the damp corner of a clean handkerchief or tissue.If the object isn’t easy to remove or the eye is very painful, seek medical advice – ring 111 or attend an Eye Casualty, Emergency Department or Urgent Treatment Centre.

Romeo Beckham, 22, sparks romance rumours with German model Caroline Daur, 30, in Paris as they leave hotel after party

ROMEO Beckham has sparked romance rumours with German model Caroline Daur in Paris after they left a hotel after party together.

Romeo and Kim had been together for seven months before calling it quits.

According to friends, the relationship “fizzled out” around three weeks after David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations.

But it seems Romeo may already be moving on.

He and Caroline were seen making a low-key exit from the event – leaving separately to avoid being photographed side by side – before climbing into the same car with pals and continuing the night out.

They headed on to Julia nightclub in the French capital.

Romeo kept his outfit laid-back with a black jumper, dark tracksuit bottoms and blue trainers.

Caroline opted for a strapless little black dress and knee-high black boots.

It’s thought the pair bonded over a shared love of tennis, having both attended the French Open’s Men’s Singles Semi Final on Friday.

Emmerdale’s first look at Mandy and Paddy’s new lovenest as Lisa Riley gives fans a tour of home

LIFE is going to get very saucy for Emmerdale stalwarts, Mandy and Paddy Dingle, as they move into their brand-new ‘love nest’ – ‘Pandy Towers’.

The fan favourites are moving into Dr Liam’s old house and in true Mandy style, it’s been given a fresh new look with ‘love’ cushions, fruity sexual innuendos and even their very own ‘M & P’ bookcase lit up in lights.

And as the soap’s legendary actress, Lisa Riley, gives The Sun an exclusive tour today around the couple’s brightly coloured pad, she admits Mandy and Paddy love it so much, they can’t keep their hands off each other.

“They are like village magnets,” she exclaimed.

“At long last, Mandy and Paddy have got their very own love nest!

“This week the audience will get to see the love nest too and I know they are going to love it as much as Mandy and Paddy.

“They’ve called it Pandy Towers!

“Over the next few weeks, you will see them running off together back to the house.

“They can’t keep their hands off each other and they want to take pure advantage of their new love nest.

“But I think this is great a soap like Emmerdale can make plenty of references to this.

“Like many people between the ages of 45 and 55, Paddy and Mandy have a wonderful love life!”

As our exclusive pictures show, it’s clear Mandy is the main architect behind the décor that includes 27 strawberry items in a very cheeky nod to their fruity antics.

Smiling, Lisa explained: “You can tell Paddy has not had as much of a say in the property as he would have liked but he adores it and he trusts Mandy.

“He let her run with it and there are strawberries everywhere! In fact, Mandy and Paddy have 27 strawberry items in a nod to their fruity naughtiness!

“From strawberry mugs, mats and strawberry lamps to little tea lights, fair lights, strawberries are everywhere in Pandy Towers.

“Even little Eve has a strawberry stool and there are strawberry pillows too!”

Guiding Sun readers around the home that is decorated with a pleather of rainbow colours, Mandy’s beauty products are dotted everywhere.

It’s not neat and tidy, as you would expect with the extrovert salon owner in charge, and her garish taste is in abundance.

“But there is no leopard print,” stressed Lisa. “Mandy leaves that at the salon!”

Standing pride of place is a white shelving unit lit up in lights with the letters “M & P”. “This bookcase is phenomenal,” exclaimed Lisa before joking: “It’s wonderful to see but obviously there is the phenomenal bromance of Marlon and Paddy. So do the letters really mean Mandy and Paddy?!”

She points to a pair of neon pink marigold gloves that don the letters ‘Domestic Goddess’.

“What I love too is Mandy’s marigolds,” she added.

“As you would expect with Mandy, they are not normal marigolds – she has a sewn-on ring with the lettering ‘Domestic Goddess!’

“What’s great is the lounge is so multi-coloured. Dr Liam’s house was dark and dismal.

Everything you need to know about Emmerdale

“Now it’s colours everywhere. The comparison is literally like going to A to Z instantly!”

But Lisa, who as Mandy plays one of the biggest matriarchs of the Dingles, also stresses there are plenty of poignant nods to the famous soap family too.

Dotted around are lots of family photos and the Dingle’s family emblem of a crotched blanket is neatly placed over the sofa.

“You have got the original Dingle blanket and it’s all about the family” said Lisa.

“There are pictures of Mandy and Paddy’s wedding day and one of her with Uncle Zak.

“The audience are going to see lots of shots of the Mandy and Zak picture which I think is wonderful. They were so close.”

Lisa says she has loved working with Emmerdale’s set design team on ‘Pandy Towers’ and she reveals a lot of effort has been put in to making sure many of the items have been upcycled.

In fact, as Lisa explains, fans can now buy Mandy’s old dresses on eBay.

“We have tried to upcycle a lot of the items,” added the star. “We are really big on that. We’ve got a pre-loved eBay site now where you can buy lots of items, including Mandy’s clothes . Not only can fans get a piece of nostalgia but it is all going to a new home. I love that.”

As for what lies ahead, she teases whilst fans can expect plenty of saucy fun, there will also be lots of drama with Mandy and Paddy too – especially with the couple’s relationship with Bear Wolf.

“Mandy and Paddy are real carers and they look out for people but there will be a lot of drama too,” she warned.

“It’s going to be particularly dramatic with Bear Wolf…”

  • Emmerdale runs every weekday on ITV1 and STV1 at 7.30pm. Episodes can be streamed on ITVX.

Schoolboy, 14, stabbed in Manchester street before screaming ‘I don’t want to die’ is pictured – as four arrested

A TEENAGER who was stabbed to death and ran for help saying “I don’t want to die” has been pictured for the first time.

Schoolboy Ibrahima Seck, 14, was found with stab wounds and was rushed to hospital, but he sadly passed away.

Emergency services scrambled to north Manchester at around 5pm on Sunday following reports of a serious assault.

Greater Manchester Police launched a murder investigation and arrested four people – including three teenagers – in connection with the death.

Two boys, 14 and 16, were arrested on suspicion of murder.

A 14-year-old girl and a 37-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

All four remain in custody this morning, and the scene remains cordoned off.

Manchester Coroner’s Office confirmed it has received a file for Ibrahima.

Eyewitnesses told MEN how the young victim fled the attack, running through his front door begging for help.

“He just came through the door and said ‘I’ve been stabbed’.

“We sat him down on a chair and phoned an ambulance.

“He just kept saying ‘I don’t want to die’.”

Onlookers desperately tried to save Ibrahima with CPR before paramedics arrived.

Superintendent Marcus Noden said last night: “This is a distressing and heart-breaking incident where a boy has lost his life.

“We are still trying to establish the circumstances around the incident and have a number of scenes in place.”

Pictures from the scene show a police cordon on Nevin Road in New Moston as well as another at the nearby Fairway Inn pub.

An air ambulance was also scrambled to the scene, landing in Nuthurst Road Park – just a short distance away from Nevin Road.
