MANCHESTER UNITED fans have been left fearing for Ruben Amorim after he was handed a nightmare start to the new season.

All fixtures for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign were released this morning.

And it did not make pretty reading for beaten Europa League finalists United, who finished a pitiful 15th last term.

Amorim will have been hoping for a straightforward start to the season.

But £62.5million signing Matheus Cunha and his new teammates face a trial by fire with an opening day home clash against bridesmaids Arsenal.

Things continue to be tricky for United as they then travel to London to face Fulham.

And following a clash with Burnley, the Red Devils then face back-to-back clashes with Man City and Chelsea.

United are next away at Brentford, where they lost 4-3 last season.

And as the fixtures pile up, they soon face a horror run of Liverpool, Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.

It’s left fans fearing that Amorim will not make it to Christmas, with United’s poor form last season suggesting they will struggle in almost every game.

If the tactician does make it to 2026, he immediately faces back-to-back weekends against Man City and Arsenal to potentially compound further misery.

United fans quickly flocked to social media to express their worries about Amorim’s future.

One said: “Amorim not fit to survive past October.”

Another declared: “If Amorim is here by November he’s done well.”

One noted: “Amorim could be gone by November.”

Another added: “Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Liverpool within first eight games, crikey.”

BRITS are being warned that a simple driving mistake could cost them £5,000 over the weekend. 

The warning comes as the UK braces for a massive heatwave beginning today.

The Highway Code has determined what is appropriate on our roads, ever since it was first published in 1931. 

Rule 97 of the code states that motorists must be adequately prepared for their upcoming drive. 

This includes being dressed appropriately. 

In the summer months, millions of Brits swap their trainers for flip-flops but this could lead to you getting fined. 

Any shoe which could limit your ability to put pressure on the pedals breaks the code and leaves you liable for a hefty fine. 

If you are found to be “driving without due care and attention”, you face an on-the-spot £100 fine. 

Three points could also be added to your license. 

If the matter escalates to court, you could face fines of up to £5000. 

Speaking to the Express, John Wilmot, CEO and founder of LeaseLoco said: “It’s easy to overlook how your choice of clothing or footwear can affect your driving, especially in hot weather, but even something as simple as a pair of flip-flops or a long skirt can reduce your control of a vehicle.

“If this leads to an accident or you’re stopped by police, you could face serious consequences. 

“So we’re urging all drivers to think practically before getting behind the wheel this spring and summer – your outfit shouldn’t compromise your safety or anyone else’s.”

The news comes after temperatures are set to soar over the week. 

The country is bracing for highs of 29C today, with the East of England likely facing the hottest temperatures. 

In some areas, meteorologists have forecast highs of 33C and have said the heatwave will continue through to the end of the week. 

A heatwave is when temperatures exceed thresholds in a certain area for over three days.

Across the north and west of the UK, this is 25C and in the Home Counties and London it is 28C.

GIVING your home a designer makeover – but with a bargain price tag – sounds like an impossible task.

But while Janine Santos was browsing the Chinese retail website, Shein – known for selling clothes super cheaply – she suddenly spotted a ‘Home & Kitchen’ category.

There, on her screen, appeared to be the solution to her problem.

Attractive-looking curtains, cushions, tapestries, bedding, storage baskets and much more were being offered at rock bottom prices. It seemed too good to be true.

One thing led to another and soon Janine had bought around 50 items to give her Cardiff home a stylish new “boho” look that has transformed it from top to bottom.

The bill for her haul came in at just £269.

“I wasn’t sure about it, as it was so cheap,” says Janine, a 47-year-old cruise fleet manager. “But the quality looked good.

“Even if I’d gone somewhere else which is considered good value, like Ikea, I would have spent over £1000, easy.”

Before she discovered Shein homeware, Janine had a weakness for splurging on high end, expensive items.

“I used to use brands like Andrew Martin, Osborne & Little and Farrow & Ball,” says Janine, who is mum to Keanau, 26, and married to Damon, 53, a tiler.

“I also used to love Flamant, a high-end Belgian brand. They were my go-to for timeless pieces.” But when she decided to give her three-bedroom semi a refresh last December, Janine was looking to economise.

“I spend six months away at sea each year with work and when I come home, all I want is a space to relax,” she says.

“I’d been meaning to do this for a while and make it feel more homely. But I wanted to tighten my belt. I prefer to spend my money on experiences these days, like holidays, and thought: ‘How can I do this affordably?’”

Janine was shopping for clothing on Shein last December when she noticed they also sell homeware.

The China-based retailer’s popularity is currently soaring in the UK, with sales jumping by nearly 40 per cent to £1.5bn last year. It is expected to become Britain’s sixth largest clothing retailer by 2027.

For Janine, the prices seemed too good to ignore, so she ordered two photographic prints and some pampas grass to test the waters.

“I used to buy my prints from King & McGaw, which specialises in fine art prints,” says Janine.

“I paid £300 each for two prints years ago.

“But these 50cm x 70cm Shein prints were £3 and £7. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were delivered eight days later, in a cardboard box, and were printed on high quality cardboard. They also came rolled up, so there were no creases.

“They didn’t come with frames, so I got some from Amazon, at £50 for three.”

A couple of weeks later, Janine placed a second, bigger order, then a third.

She bought, among other items, a rug to go in front of the fire (£5.24), a king size duvet cover set with pillows (£26.48), two single  curtains (£21.75 each), a beige woven wall tapestry (£2.29), dried pampas grass (£4.19), two artificial ivy plants (£1.85 each), three white woven storage baskets (£6.12 each), a wall sticker (£1.30) and a cute ornament of someone reading (£1.10).

She also paid £25 for a king size polycotton white duvet cover and two matching pillowcases[/caption]

‘Cushion crazy’

“When I told my husband how much everything cost, he said: ‘There’s no way, you’re lying to me.’

“And one friend who came round couldn’t believe it when I told her so much of my stuff was from Shein – she literally screamed. I think she was expecting me to say some fancy, overpriced designer brand.

“She went straight to the website and started filling her basket. People have this idea that Shein is only for clothes – but the home stuff is genuinely stylish and surprisingly good quality. Nothing I ordered felt below par.”

When I told my husband how much everything cost, he said: ‘There’s no way, you’re lying to me’

Janine’s star buy was a pair of cream curtains for the bedroom. Curtains are sold individually on Shein and Janine bought two for £21.75 each. “In the past I’ve paid over a thousand pounds for a pair of curtains,” she says.

“They were handmade, very thick, like quilts. I don’t feel I need that sort of thing any more.“They’re my favourite – they’re lined and they’ve got this lace overlay – they’re really drapey and beautiful. I bought the pole off Shein as well for £11.44.”

Janine is also impressed with the bedding she bought from the retailer. She paid £25 for a king size polycotton white duvet cover and two matching pillowcases.

And the cushions were so cheap – just £3 each – that Janine went “cushion crazy”.

“I’ve got them all over the house,” she says.

“One is a tan leather look, the others are like the tapestry on the wall, with tassels on them. Damon loves the new look. The only thing he has said is: ‘Please, no more cushions’.”

‘Boho with a designer twist’

Another big hit was the pampas grass.

“I ordered the large size,” says Janine. I thought: ‘It’s going to be limp, but I can try it.’ Luckily, it’s really full.”

Janine’s method is to spend more money on big-ticket items – she recently bought a bed and chest of drawers from Freemans for about £1000 and a sofa from DFS for around £2,000 – and save on the accessories that finish off a room.

She describes her style as “boho with a designer twist”, mixing budget buys with statement pieces. “Spending so little is great, because if I want to do a different theme, I can buy a load more stuff from Shein,” she says.

“I will give these to charity, then I can buy new things. I’m just layering on to make a new theme. The foundations stay, they are good quality.”

Shipping is free, too, if you spend more than £35. And there are other incentives, says Janine.

“They give you vouchers. They say: add another item to your basket to receive a bigger discount.

“Then when I look at it, it’s as if I’ve got those curtains free.”

But Shein is not popular with everyone. The brand has been criticised for its sustainability practices, with concerns raised about textile waste and excessive carbon emissions.

I’m not here trying to impress anyone, I’m creating a space that feels like me

Last August, Shein admitted it had found two cases of child labour in its supply chain and factories failing to pay the minimum wage.

Janine says: “I know there are conversations around sustainability with brands like Shein and it’s something I do think about.

“When I was decorating, I made sure to choose pieces I actually love and knew I’d keep – not something trendy for a quick fix. I’ve never been sent the wrong product, or had to return anything, either.

“I think sustainability is also about how you use things and how long you keep them, not just where they come from.”

“I’ve mixed and matched, like I would with clothes. I might buy a designer outfit, but wear a T-shirt from Primark.

“I’ll change a few things in winter, like adding a fluffy rug and throws. I like that I can switch things up without spending a fortune.”

Janine has converted the garage in her house, adding an upstairs level and separate entrance to create an Airbnb.

She also has an Airbnb property in Egypt. Both are decorated with Shein homeware.

“I love my ‘Shein house’,” she says.

“It feels warm, modern and personal – and that’s what matters, not that I’ve had any negative comments – quite the reverse.

“I’m not here trying to impress anyone, I’m creating a space that feels like me. It’s like I’ve curated a little Pinterest board in real life.”

MANY people know that being pregnant can come with feeling nauseous and exhausted.

However, this clearly hasn’t put off one woman who has revealed she’s been pregnant for a whopping 21 years – and now shares 11 kids with her husband.

US-based Heather Stockton shared how she’s been pregnant in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025.

On her @heatherruth account, she joked: “2007 and 2023 were my years of rest.”

While many people questioned why she doesn’t have 21 kids as a result, others pointed that you can be pregnant over the course of two years, even if each pregnancy is just nine months. 

Many people were flabbergasted at the staggering amount of time she has been pregnant. 

One said: “Pregnancy addiction needs to be studied.”

Another added: “It’s ok to be on birth control.”

And a third commented: “So basically your whole life?……..ok!”

However, despite any negative comments, Heather insisted that she loves her busy life and large family.

She shared: “Hi! My name is Heather. 

“I am happily married and a mum to 11 kids.

Many people were shocked at how many years she has been pregnant[/caption]

“My days are very full as a pastor’s wife and a stay-at-home mom-AND I absolutely love it!”

In another video, she showed how she prepares a whopping breakfast for her bumper brood. 

This includes frying a pan full of sausages and making homemade muffins. 

One person responded to the behind-the-scenes clip, and said: “Love this! Your family is so blessed.”

Another shared: “Beautiful family.”

A MUM who grew up as a typical middle-class girl has revealed how boozing at 14 sent her life on a different trajectory.

Olivia Taylor first began boozing at 14 in the park with friends, but her addiction soon turned darker when she was introduced to crack, which led to her setting herself on fire while her boyfriend filmed it and laughed.

Now, 30 years old, the mum revealed she had a ‘normal middle-class upbringing’ but when her parents divorced when she was 18 her addiction spiralled.

To get through a day of sixth form, she recalls waking up and chugging vodka in the mornings.

She said: “When my parents divorced at 18, it brought up a lot of mental health issues and my addiction just spiralled very quickly out of control.

“The amount I was drinking, my body very quickly became dependent on it.

“I didn’t realise I had all this underlying trauma, all I wanted to do was escape. Everything started falling apart very quickly.”

Olivia, from Bridgnorth, Shropshire says that at its worst, her addiction saw her drink a litre of vodka a day and ‘binged’ crack cocaine and heroin.

The mum claims she suffered from postnatal depression and started drinking even more when she had her daughter at the age of 21.

The mum added: “I had postnatal depression which impacted my drinking even more.

“I managed to get away from a controlling relationship but what I found then, I was left on my own with my daughter in a small house.

“Thankfully, I had an amazing family which helped take care of my daughter. They got me into a rehab centre at the age of 23 but unfortunately because this rehab centre didn’t deal with the root cause and the mental side of things, it was just about getting you off the drink.

The mum had constant issues with drugs until she went to rehab for a second time[/caption]

“I ended up spending time on the streets taking drugs after coming out of there because it made me feel even worse. I had never done hard drugs before, it was just a horrific time.

“I was drinking up to a litre of vodka a day. I would binge crack cocaine but it was always the alcohol that was a daily thing.

“Crack and heroin would come in and out of my life if I had gotten myself around certain people.”

The former addict claims she ended up in such a state that she set herself on fire while lying in bed during an argument with an ex-boyfriend.

Now, Olivia advocates for addicts to get therapy and deal with the root cause[/caption]

The shocking footage shows Olivia under the burning duvet, in a drug-induced state while her partner films her – which she claims he sent to his friends as he thought it was ‘funny’.

Olivia is now sharing the distressing recording as a warning against drug use.

Olivia said: “At the time, I was with a guy that I’d met through recovery services when I was trying to get sober and we relapsed together and had a very toxic relationship.

In the end he put the fire out, after he filmed it laughing at me and sent it to a couple of his friends.

Olivia Taylor

“We were using crack cocaine and drinking at the time.

“I set fire to the bed. I was just in a drug-induced mental state.

“He started filming it and was laughing at me while I’m on fire. It was all just a joke to him but I was on fire.

“In the end he put the fire out, after he filmed it laughing at me and sent it to a couple of his friends.”

Now finally clean, Olivia claims she has ‘not touched’ alcohol for two years and has not done drugs for three years.

At the age of 27, Olivia said she got a ‘divine’ phone call from an alcohol support worker who referred her to a different rehabilitation centre.

The mum-of-one said she spent six months in the centre and came out a ‘completely different person’, after having intense therapy.

Olivia said: “Whether it was a divine intervention or miracle, somebody called me when I had shut myself away, not answering my phone and having a breakdown.

“This lady, who was an alcohol support worker I used to work with, said I found a rehab centre that will help not only with the drink but with the mental side of things.

“I went into that rehab centre for six months as an absolutely broken woman and I came out a completely different person with intense therapy and behaviour therapy.

“I completely rebuilt my life to the point where I’m now trained in addiction coaching and have my own business.

“My daughter and I have a fantastic bond. She can’t remember that much but she is so supportive in what I do. There needs to be more help out there to help addiction and mental health at the same time.

“I’m a massive advocate for getting people off substances but unless you get to the root cause, they’re just going to keep going back there.”

The mum even works as an addiction coach to help others and Olivia is advocating for rehabilitation in the UK to take a focus on addicts’ mental health and find the ‘root cause’ of the problem.
