Kate Moss stuns in a plunging top at Paris Fashion Week

Kate pulled her blonde locks into a stylish up-do to attend the Dior event in the French capital.

She kept a straight face as she left the shindig at The Ritz, keeping her make-up simple so her natural glow shone through.

It came after the Croydon-born catwalk star was hailed one of the most beautiful women, according to science.

Mum of one Kate was found to be 94.14 per cent accurate to the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi – which measures physical perfection.

Her eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the ancient Greeks’ idea of perfection, with a golden ratio of 94.14 per cent.

Dr Julian De Silva said: “Kate Moss is the most beautiful of all the supermodels and was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.

“Kate has been the face of UK modelling for the last 30 years and is a wonderful ambassador for our fashion industry.”

PARTY GIRL

The beauty reveal came after the model whipped up a storm for her lavish 51st birthday bash at three different London venues.

The party followed the former Topshop collaborator’s split with her aristocrat boyfriend of nine years.

The Sun was first to report her sad break-up with Nikolai von Bismarck, with the bash marking the first sign of her newly-single status.

For years, Kate lived in the sleepy Cotswolds with photographer Nikolai, who is teetotal and prefers the quiet life.

A source previously told us: “Now that her daughter Lila is all grown up and she is single again, Kate feels like she wants to let her hair down and be carefree — which is not something she’s been able to do for a long time.

“She is looking on the bright side of life. Although it’s sad her relationship is over, she is throwing herself back into her social life and embracing the new year.”

Kate and Nikolai started dating in 2015 and, since then, she has been living a more wholesome life.

As well as more time spent in the countryside, she launched her wellness brand, Cosmoss.

But it sounds as though the fun and flirty Kate will be back with gusto. A source said when the couple split: “She felt they were going on different journeys in life.”

I looked inside my hoarder neighbour’s house and was left horrified – the cleaners even found dead cats amongst the mess

A STUNNED woman has revealed that she peeked inside her hoarder neighbour’s home – only to be left totally horrified by what she saw.

The woman lives in a maisonette in the US and was left baffled when her neighbour of three years abruptly moved out in the middle of the night.

Not only are there countless pizza boxes and fizzy drink cans, but there was even dead cats amongst the mess[/caption]

After taking a look inside her neighbour’s property to see what was going on, she was horrified to see mountains of rubbish, with all things from takeaway wrappers, pizza boxes and paper bags, to fizzy drink cans and countless black sacks full of waste. 

And if you thought that was bad, prepare to be horrified, as she even claimed that professional cleaners, who were sent in to dispose of the waste, even found dead cats amongst the endless plastic and beer bottles. 

Shocked by the huge pile of rubbish, which covered the entire room and was so huge it was almost touching the ceiling, the anonymous woman took to social media to share it with others, leaving many in complete shock. 

Posting on Reddit, on the r/oddlyterrifying thread, the woman, who writes under the username @mama_ji, uploaded a picture of the mess.

Alongside her post, she wrote: “Our duplex neighbour of three years mysteriously moved in the middle of the night.

“We had never seen the inside of his house the whole time. 

“Now we know why.”

The woman claimed that despite living in the same building and contrary to what people may think, she and her partner “never smelt anything” from her neighbour’s flat.

She also shared that it’s not just her neighbour’s house that is filled with mess – it’s his car too.

She explained: “We only found out because I saw him on our Ring [camera] dragging stuff and his dog into a company car, because his was so messy it couldn’t be driven, and woke up to this.”

The bewildered woman phoned her neighbour immediately after his departure, as she shared: “Worse, when we asked him why he left, he said it was because his rent was being RAISED to $600. A two bed condo with a backyard and all.”

Not only this, but she also revealed that her neighbour claimed the landlords “wanted me out”.

What is a hoarder & is it a medical condition?

According to the NHS, Hoarding is a mental health problem that involves storing an “excessive” number of items in an unmanageable way. Newspapers, clothes, junk mail, bills, containers, and household supplies are among the variety of items kept. 

The disorder can impact a person’s everyday life by putting a strain on relationships when someone else tries to clear the clutter and also makes it difficult to move around the house.  The condition causes unhygienic living conditions, fire risks, and trip hazards.

Hoarding is often associated with other mental health conditions including severe depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia.

A GP can recommend the best treatment, which may include therapy or antidepressants.

Due to his swift exit, the neighbour reportedly said: “I didn’t even have a chance to clean some of it up.” 

Reddit users react

Reddit users were left horrified by the image of inside the hoarder’s home – and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts. 

One person questioned: “How does hoarding get this bad? For real. What’s the progression? 

“Does it start with an overflowing garbage can morphing into a garbage pile? It’d be wild to see a time lapse.”

The scream of the cleaning lady was what woke us up

In response, the Reddit author replied: “I couldn’t tell you. And this man worked with an animal shelter and fostered dogs also having one himself.” 

Another advised: “I’d call your insurance and a lawyer. There’s a high chance that whatever infestations are (almost guaranteed to be) in his home have spread to yours as well.”

The next-door-neighbour wrote back and confirmed: “We did look and nothing! The building is quite old and all concrete.”

A third commented: “Wonder how many dead cats [are] in there.”

To this, the Reddit poster responded: “DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!!! That was one of the saddest things they found.

“The scream of the cleaning lady was what woke us up actually.”

Why Brits should ditch the UK day trips for a ‘Victorian seaside break’

IT’S TIME to bring back the weekend break as experts say Brits favouring day trips is not good news for the future of seaside towns.

An expert has claimed that the economy in some of the UK’s bustling seaside towns has declined despite a huge amount of visitors continuing to go year on year.

Experts want tourists to stay for more than a day in popular seaside towns to boost the economy[/caption]

Blackpool, the home of Pleasure Beach Resort, is struggling to maintain overnight visitors, according to reports.

A tourism leader in Blackpool has revealed that its economy took a hit in 2024 despite there being an increase in visitors – all because the number of overnight stays declined.

The day trip is what Brits are opting for as Blackpool is not short on visitors, with the footfall on the famous Blackpool Promenade increasing year-on-year.

The Illuminations switch-on ceremony in 2024 saw around 80,000 people attend.

While it means a more affordable day out, it results in hotels being unable to make or maintain bookings.

Claire Smith, president of hoteliers group StayBlackpool, described 2024 as the “perfect storm”.

She claimed the challenges Brits experienced from the cost of living crisis to the bad weather influenced the lack of overnight holiday makers.

And Blackpool wasn’t the only place that felt the impact either; VisitBritain’s statistics for 2023 showed that cities have more day visitors than weekend ones.

VisitBritain revealed London had 174.5 million day visitors in 2023, but just 18.3 million overnighters.

Greater Manchester saw 43.9 million daytrippers, but only 5.5 million who came to spend the night.

Last year, The Telegraph even noted a rise in what they called the “extreme day tripper.

The term describes people who go on the ultimate day trip, like jumping on a flight to Italy to sample their pizza for an afternoon before coming home that same evening.

The term ‘Victorian seaside break‘ was a term used for workers who swapped city life for the coast to enjoy a few days of entertainment and improve their health.

Over the last few years, we’ve fallen back in love with our country’s coastline, with some going for the purpose of a ‘Victorian seaside break’.

However, while turning up for the day to enjoy the sunshine and have fish and chips is fun for us it doesn’t do much for the economy.

To boost it, visitors need to stay, and spend money on local hospitality from hotels to restaurants.

VisitEngland’s CEO Patricia Yates says visitors will spend on average an extra £50 if they stay overnight[/caption]

VisitEngland’s CEO Patricia Yates has said: “Overnight holiday visitors [are] spending an average of £94 per night in England compared to £44 for day visits.

“We know how important it is for destinations to convert day-trippers into overnight stays, which also encourages visitors to discover more of an area and to go on and spend in local businesses including accommodation and hospitality.”

Interestingly, ABTA found that the average number of holidays taken per person has reached a new high.

The trend has become that Brits prefer quantity of quality, and are going on more day breaks or shorter trips to break up the year.

Seaside staycation inspiration

The Sun travel team have put together which three places in the UK should be your next staycation location

Margate is a vibrant town boasting the famous Dreamland theme park, which has featured in Hollywood films and attracts top musical acts. The Old Town offers a delightful mix of multicoloured shops and award-winning eateries like Sargasso and Dory’s, perfect for a unique shopping and dining experience.

Bournemouth combines history with adventure, featuring the historic pier with RockReef’s 28 themed climbing walls. For a more relaxed visit, enjoy the Oceanarium or Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf, and explore literary history at Mary Shelley’s grave in St Peter’s churchyard.

Brighton charms visitors with its labyrinth of colourful shops and historic 16th-century houses. The Southern Belle boutique hotel offers a cosy stay, while dining options like Rockwater Hove and The Salt Room provide stunning ocean views and fresh seafood, ensuring a memorable visit regardless of the weather.
