KATE Garraway has been hit by a fresh financial blow amid her stressful £800,000 debt battle. 

The Good Morning Britain presenter, 58, was faced with the daunting prospect of paying back the huge sum following husband Derek’s death from covid-related illness early last year.

Now Kate has revealed she’s been frozen out of her bank accounts after changing her phone. 

Taking to social media to beg the bank for help, she wrote: “Please please get in touch with me.

“I have not been able to access any of my Barclays accounts current or savings since Friday due to changing my phone handset and can’t get through to anyone on customer service – please dm me.”

Luckily Kate’s plea was answered and the bank replied, telling her to send more information via direct message. 

Last month The Sun revealed Kate had received a much-needed financial boost in her struggle to pay back huge debts. 

The cost of caring for Derek during his four-year health nightmare ran into hundreds of thousands of pounds.

At the same time, Derek’s psychotherapy firm Astra Aspera Ltd – which was jointly controlled by Kate – went bust owing hundreds of thousands to creditors, including a huge sum to HMRC.

A new liquidator’s report reveals how Kate has been trying to repay debts as well as a more palatable revised total.

HMRC has submitted a preferential claim of £288,054, a third of its previous submission of £716,822. It’s not known why the HMRC have dramatically dropped their demand.

There are also creditor claims of and £196,548 from four other firms including a £50,000 bank loan.

However, at this stage, there will be no pay out for any creditor after liquidator fees of £32k and 40 per cent of assets have been realised.

So far, Kate has paid back £21,000.

A representative for Kate said: “Kate has met all that the liquidators of Derek’s company have asked for and more over the past four years.

“She doesn’t recognise these figures and is shocked that it’s being presented in this way by them.

“Caring for Derek and supporting her family when Derek could no longer run his own businesses has taken a huge financial toll on her but she’s determined to put things right.”

THREE contestants were left stumped by a tricky letter riddle that whittled down the competition in its final stages.

Host Lee Mack tasked the 10 remaining players with a tough challenge for the 15% question.

Three players failed to answer this one correctly[/caption]

It read: “Which two words, that contain the same five letters as each other but in a different order, mean the same as the two words below? Fairly silent.”

The clock began to tick and the remaining players did their best to find the answer from within the recesses of their minds.

The correct answer was “quite quiet”.

Contestant Jackie successfully got the answer right but told Lee that she was getting “less confident with every question”.

Sadly for her, she fell close to the final hurdle with the 5% question proving too much.

For that question, the contestants were presented with a jumbled up clock face with the minute hand pointing at six, which was in the 12 position, and the small hand close to 10, which was was where nine is usually found.

They were tasked with working out the time on the clock if the hands moved 30 minutes clockwise. The answer was 10 o’clock.

Jackie was the sole casualty of the question and her exit paved the way for five contestants to have the opportunity to win a potential £97,000.

All five men standing decided to gamble their £10k prize for a chance of winning more money and to become a member of the 1% Club.

The question was: “What new word links the capitalised words below? My SON TED ate raw FOOD and got SICK, then went to BED with me by his SIDE.”

The answer was ‘sea’ which could be placed before each word to make a series of new words. No one got the answer right.

STRANGE radio pulses detected roughly 25 miles (40km) above Antarctica could be the mark of a new cosmic particle, according to a new study.

This rare signal was first detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) in 2006, a series of tools floating over icy continent carried by balloons.

The now-retired ANITA experiment aimed to detect ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos – or “ghost particles” – and other cosmic rays as they rain down on Earth from space.

While ANITA usually picks up cosmic signals that bounce off the ice, this new radio pulse came from beneath the horizon and under the ice sheet.

Its orientation cannot currently be explained by particle physics, a study in the journal Physical Review Letters wrote.

A similar event was recorded in 2014, and it has continued to baffle scientists.

The mysterious radio waves were being emitted at a steep angle below the ice, suggesting they had to pass through thousands of miles of rock before reaching ANITA.

All those obstacles would typically leave a radio pulse too faint to be detectable – but not this signal.

“It’s an interesting problem, because we still don’t actually have an explanation for what those anomalies are,” ANITA team member and Penn State University researcher Stephanie Wissel said in a statement.

“What we do know is that they’re most likely not representing neutrinos.”

Scientists have ruled out neutrinos, the most common particle in the universe.

Neutrinos are unofficially known as “ghost particles” due to the fact that they don’t have any mass or carry any charge.

“You have a billion neutrinos passing through your thumbnail at any moment, but neutrinos don’t really interact,” added Wissel.

“So, this is the double-edged sword problem. If we detect them, it means they have traveled all this way without interacting with anything else.

“We could be detecting a neutrino coming from the edge of the observable Universe.”

Scientists suspected that a supernova erupting in space could have coughed a slew of neutrinos in Earth’s direction.

An international team of researchers attempting to solve the mystery conducted a series of simulations to see if the 2006 and 2014 events align with any significant cosmic events, with data from the the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina.

There was a supernova that aligned with the signals captured in 2014, but not the 2006 event.

So there is no clear indication that this cosmic event is what caused the bizarre radio waves.

What scientists have done, however, is narrow down their set of explanations.

“My guess is that some interesting radio propagation effect occurs near ice and also near the horizon that I don’t fully understand, but we certainly explored several of those, and we haven’t been able to find any of those yet either,” said Wissel.

“So, right now, it’s one of these long-standing mysteries, and I’m excited that when we fly [Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations], we’ll have better sensitivity.

“In principle, we should pick up more anomalies, and maybe we’ll actually understand what they are.

“We also might detect neutrinos, which would in some ways be a lot more exciting.”

Sharing her happy news on Instagram, the stunning TV presenter posted a snap of her showing off her engagement ring as she cosied up to her new fiancé.

Captioning the snap, Nicole wrote: “BRB, entering my bridezilla era xoxo.”

Following the news of her engagement, her friends and followers quickly rushed to the comments section to share their excitement.

One of the first to comment was rugby ace James Haskell, who wrote: “Congrats.”

While EastEnders star Danny Hatchard penned: “Huge congrats Nicole.”

TNT Sports host Jules Breach posted: “Congratulations Nicole.”

And Blue Peter presenter Richie Driss commented: “Congratulations!”

As well as regularly hosting for Sky Sports, TalkSport and BBC Sports, Nicole has just landed her own show on Netflix.

The host currently fronts new reality show House of Streams.

The life-long Arsenal fan got her big break when she worked for the gunners, creating content for their website including match day interviews.

It was during this time, that Nicole revealed how fans used to propose to her all the time.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun in 2023, she told us: “”I love meeting Arsenal fans out and about.

“It’s not an everyday occurrence, but I’ve been asked for photos a few times and then we’ll always have a chat about the footie afterwards.

“I’ve always found everyone to be super respectful and sweet.

“But you do get the odd marriage proposal on Instagram. It’s all very flattering though!”

Hajra Zahid, 29, and Haleema Zahid, 25, had travelled to the popular tourist site with friends.

According to North Wales Police, though, officers were called to Nant Gwynant, Gwynedd, at 21.31pm.

They had received reports that one woman had been pulled from the water and that there was another in one of the pools.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Gibson of North Wales Police said: “Our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families and friends of both women.

“An investigation to establish what happened is now under way.”

An inquest into Haleema and Hajra’s deaths has been opened, so that authorities can determine what happened on their trip to Wales.

The coroner, Sarah Riley, said: “Hajra and Haleema had travelled to the Nant Gwynant area with friends from university.

“They have entered the water and sadly both died as a result of drowning.”

She added: “Investigations continue in terms of how they came by their death and the inquest is therefore adjourned to allow for completion of those investigations.

“I offer my sincere condolences to their family, friends and all who knew and loved them.”

The University of Chester’s vice-chancellor, Professor Eunice Simmons, released a short statement about the pair’s deaths.

The statement read: “The University of Chester community is in mourning for the tragic loss.

“They touched the lives of many here at Chester – their friends, the cohort on their course and the staff who taught them – and they will be deeply missed.”

Dr Bilal Saeed, one of Haleema’s former colleagues, said that she “touched the lives of many with her warmth, professionalism and unwavering dedication”.

He had worked with Haleema at a telecommunications company based in Islamabad and said that she was excited to start her new life in the UK.

MILLIONS of PlayStation gamers are about to lose access to six titles.

The games will vanish from player libraries in less than a month – so you’ll want to try them before they go.

Sony PlayStation

Sony regularly adds and removes titles to and from its PS Plus library[/caption]

They’re all games in the PlayStation Plus library, which is a rolling selection of free titles included with your membership.

The games aren’t being deleted – you can still buy them outright if you want to keep playing.

But all six will be removed from the PS Plus catalogue across all tiers of the membership on July 15, 2025.

And it affects gamers playing on the PS5, PS4, PSVR 2, and PSVR.

The list of games is as follows:

• Remnant II
• Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – Reunion
• Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
• Dying Light 2: Stay Human
• Mount and Blade II: Bannerford
• Job Simulator

Importantly, these games will become unplayable for PS Plus subscribers even if you’ve already downloaded them.

These aren’t “claim” games that you install and keep forever.

They’re part of the rolling library of titles, which means you can only enjoy them as a PS Plus members for as long as Sony keeps them in the catalogue.

It’s also worth noting that it’s possible even more games will vanish beyond the six entries on this list.

In a Reddit thread about the change, fans were panicked that they wouldn’t have time to play all of the games.

“Welp I’ve been putting off Dying Light 2 because I heard it isn’t great, but I guess it’s now or never,” wrote one gamer.

Another gamer replied: “Me too. I just gave it another shot after playing it for 30 mins a month ago and not feeling it. Starting to get into it now.

“Now I’m worried I may not have enough time.”

Even owners of the newer PS5 console will be affected[/caption]

“Lol what all these games? Played and loved Remnant 2 some time ago.

“But I wanted to play Crisis Core and Dying Light 2. Do you reckon I can speedrun at least the story of these two?”

One simply wrote “sad”, while another said “more great games going”.

And another added: “Hey, at least it gives me an excuse to finally finish Remnant 2. I’m not mad at this.”

Some of the games are very well-known titles.

That includes Remnant 2, a third-person shooter than sold a million copies in its first week on sale.

And Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – Reunion is a 2022 remaster of the original 2007 game, featuring upgraded graphics.

The game was well-received by critics, so it’s worth giving it a go before it vanishes from PS Plus.

MORE countries across Europe are allowing Brits to use their airport eGates – massively reducing wait times after a flight.

The UK government has confirmed that Sofia Airport in Bulgaria will now allow British holidaymakers to use the much faster eGate queues.

Half a million Brits visited Bulgaria last year[/caption]

Currently, Brits are facing hour-long queues at a number of popular holiday destinations due to be unable to use the eGates.

Instead, they are directed to the alternative queue for all other passengers, meaning huge delays when going through passport security.

However, earlier this month it was confirmed that Faro Airport – which connects Brits to the Algarve – would allow anyone from the UK to use their eGates.

Around 300,000 Brits headed to the Algarve last year, out of the 2.5million visiting Portugal.

Not only has Sofia followed suit, but Tallinn in Estonia has confirmed they will also remove the eGate ban for Brits from next year.

Around 500,000 UK holidaymakers visited Bulgaria last year, with many heading to the popular Sunny Beach.

And around 70,000 Brits visited Estonia last year.

The opening of the ports will see 49 destinations permitting the use of eGates to Brits.

This includes Paris, Rome, Lisbon and Tenerife.

EU Relations Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said: “Today’s eGates win is great news for Brits travelling to the EU – and a clear sign of the Government’s pragmatic reset of our relationship with Brussels and European capitals.”

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said they wanted to reopen up the eGates to Brits again.

He said: “We will be and are pressing to get on with this straight away.

“Because for holiday makers wanting to get out this summer, they will want to know that they can do so easily, without delay and chaos.”

Last summer, Brits missed their flights in Spain due to long passport queues while waiting to get them stamped.

Brits will also need to make sure they are still getting their passport stamped.

Current rules only allow UK tourists to stay in Europe for 90 days out of 180 days, which is what the entry and exit stamps are for.

Anyone seen to be overstaying can be banned from entering which happened to a Brit in Majorca back in 2022.

This will eventually be scrapped when the constantly-delayed Entry/Exit System (EES) in introduced, set to be rolled out this October.

New biometric checks will replace manual passport stamping.

Her death has left fans of the Worst Cooks show devastated[/caption]

Just days before her death, she shared what would be a final Instagram post of her posing up with New York sweetheart Elizabeth Eaton Rosenthal.

Also known as The Green Lady, the pair were all smiles as they snapped a selfie in the city’s sunshine.

Anne wrote: “I ran into @greenladyofbrooklyn in my neighborhood today!!

“I’m not going to lie- I have been keeping an eye out for her.

“I may or may not have followed her down the street for a minute. She is just lovely!!!”

The two women then shared a back and forth in the comments, with Elizabeth inviting the host to her garden to “pick figs”.

Following the news of Anne’s tragic death, The Green Lady and heartbroken fans flocked to the post’s comments to share their tributes.

Elizabeth, 83, wrote: “Hi Anne, you are such a lovely person just to meet and not knowing you.

“I just love you and so sorry but come to my garden and visit with all your beauty and love and I will be waiting for you.”

“Rip Anne. You brought so much light to Food Network. Worst Cooks is still one of my favorite shows,” said one fan.

“Prayers for your family. This feels so unexpected. You were always one of our all time favorite chefs and seemed like a great person! I’m sure you’ll be missed by many,” penned a second.

“I am beyond devastated. May you rest in eternal peace,” added a third.

‘Her smile lit up every room’

The 55-year-old was found “unconscious” in her home on Tuesday, NYPD confirmed.

Shortly after her family released a statement announcing her death.

It read: “Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered.

“Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world.

“Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.”

An investigation into the cause of her death is ongoing.

Anne leaves behind husband Stuart Claxton.

Spin-off absence

Anne’s first appearance on Food Network was a stint on Iron Chef America in 2005, before working on the series Secrets of a Restaurant Chef in 2008.

In 2010 she made a name for herself on Worst Cooks In America.

Earlier this year, there was chatter and rampant speculation that Anne might have been fired from the Worst Cooks franchise.

Despite having been a long-standing host of the hit TV show, it’s believed she was not set to star in its spin-off: Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition.

When Anne was absent from the show on January 10, fans rushed to social media to gauge what had happened.

“Why aren’t you in Worst Cooks? It’s not the same,” penned one person on Anne’s Instagram, underneath a post.

Anne replied: “Honestly I don’t know”.

Recent podcast appearance

During an appearance on TV Chef Rachael Ray’s podcast last December, Anne discussed the pressures of being a woman in the industry and how she managed.

She said: “I feel like when you take the effort to do that on your outside it makes you feel better on the inside.

“And like when you show up to a situation, no matter what it is, when you are put together, people notice that.

“And I think it just almost commands respect, you know, where, when you have taken the time to put together yourself.”
