In a story that sounds more like a surreal novel than reality, a mother in Thailand from the Isaan province of Sa Kaeo recently took to social media to call out for help in quite a dramatic fashion. Her saga involves the tropical temptation of durians and an illicit affair with Yaba, a notorious methamphetamine that has wreaked havoc in countless lives. The modern tale is not just of desperation but also of resilience, unexpected twists, and retribution. It all began on a sultry day, June 17, as the concerned mother shared her plight on Facebook—an unusual fusion of traditional fears and modern woes. She posted a photo of two tantalizing durians along with a humble packet of food meant to nourish her troubled son. Her caption was a chilling plea: “I was worried that my son was going to be hungry, so I bought these for him. He didn’t…

As the clock ticked toward evening, serene shopping plans took an unexpected turn at a bustling mall in Chachoengsao, Thailand, when the tranquility was swallowed by plumes of dark smoke and a dance of frantic flames. Picture this: a usual day at the shopping hive turned into a daring escape spectacle as both employees and patrons of the mall found themselves hastily making their way out, guided by the alarms screaming over the hum of scared footsteps—a scene that could easily be mistaken for a blockbuster thriller. The fire alarm cried out at 8:30 pm on June 29, thrusting Deputy Inspector Chalermpol Satharam into action after the report of a fire at the bustling shopping centre nestled in Na Mueang subdistrict of the Mueang district. As if answering a superhero’s call to action, four red-painted fire trucks rushed from the Chachoengsao municipal fire fortress, their sirens blazing as they carved…

A MARRIED At First Sight star has seemingly had her baby’s gender revealed after a huge hint was dropped at her baby shower.

It will be her first baby with partner Jordan Morris and they are due to welcome their bundle of joy in August.

Now, Rozz has enjoyed a flashy baby shower with her Married At First Sight co-stars and fans think one of them has dropped a huge hint as to what she’s expecting.

Whilst Rozz has not publicly revealed the gender of her unborn baby, speculation is rife that she is expecting a girl.

It comes as co-star Ella Morgan made references to a brand new “baby spice”.

Sharing a collection of snaps from the baby shower, Ella added the eyebrow-raising caption: “Our Baby Spice is having a mini Baby Spice @rozzdarlington @ellamorganc @itstashajayxx @jay_howard the Spice Girls reunited .. + 1!”

However, she did go onto add a hashtag reading “boy or girl” which could be to throw people off the scent.

Picking up on the hint, one fan said in the comments: “Is this confirmation Baby Spice is a pink one?!”

In the snaps, Rozz cosied up to Ella as well as Jay Howard and Tasha Jay.

None of the four women are still with their show partners.

Ella split from JJ Slater before he moved on with Katie Price whilst Jay’s marriage to Luke Worley ended soon after the show with Tasha Jay and Paul Liba calling it quits after over a year together.

Rozz was married to hunky Thomas Kriaras during her time on the show but their union came to an emotional end.

Following the programme, Rozz moved on with Jordan and went public with their relationship in June of last year.

Looking stunning at her baby shower, Rozz showed off her baby bump in a gorgeous yellow gown.

Her co-stars held onto her baby bump in one snap before she was seen posing with Jordan who sweetly planted a kiss on her cheek as part of the celebrations.

Rozz went all out for the day with a balloon wall being the centre of attention for the party.

She also had an elaborate flower display as well as a cake that appeared to read “baby M-D” in icing on the top.

Sharing her own video montage of moments from the big day, Rozz said of the shower: “I had the most amazing day yesterday celebrating baby strawberry!! @mooroo_custom the most gorgeous cardigans!!!

“Surrounded by all of our beautiful friends and family! Thank you for all being there for us. Can’t wait for you all to be having cuddles with [baby emoji].”

During her time on MAFS, Rozz dumped a heartbroken Thomas on the TV show after being unsure of their future.

The couple’s relationship had been rocky from the start after Rozz admitted that she didn’t find Thomas attractive.

However, after working on their connection and experimenting in the bedroom, the couple quickly became a fan favourite.

Their split then rocked MAFS fans as Rozz admitted to Thomas that things had run their course.

TEST your IQ with this brain-teasing optical illusion.

Images like the one below can be a great way to keep your brain engaged and give yourself a quick, daily challenge.

Reddit

Challenge yourself to find the golf ball within 10 seconds[/caption]

In this sporty illusion, we’re asking you to try and find the golf ball among the pebbles.

Set yourself an extra challenge by trying to find the sneaky ball in under 10 seconds.

In a photo posted on the Reddit page r/FindTheSniper, a user asked people to “find the golf ball” among the grey, white and beige pebbles.

The popular group challenges people to find “the well camouflaged hiding in plain sight” with images showing everyday situations that have a fun visual challenge.

Optical illusions like these can be a great way to test your IQ and peripheral awareness.

It works best to use a methodical approach so that you can quickly look through the photo.

It also relies on having a strong attention to detail, with the white golf ball seemingly blending in seamlessly with the surrounding pebbles.

Some golf-loving Redditors found the challenge surprisingly easy.

One wrote: “This one was easy. As a golfer who is always hitting balls not on the fairway, I have a keen eye to spot a ball.”

Another said: “Took me 4 seconds. Been playing golf since I was a kid.”

Others didn’t find the task quite so easy.

One Reddit user commented: “I mean it’s in there somewhere. Pretty sure.”

Another joked: “This is why they make them in fluorescent colours.”

Ultimately though, finding the solution can leave you feeling satisfied and accomplished – helping you start your day off on the right foot.

One Redditor wrote: “Damn, once I found it I can’t fathom why it took me so long.”

Now is your last chance to spot the pesky golf ball before we reveal the answer.

For those who were unable to find it, the ball is located about halfway down the photo on the left hand side, slightly to the right of the green.

It’s no wonder it was so difficult to find, with the golf ball being an almost identical size to the surrounding rocks.

LOVE Island fans are convinced they’ve sussed the real reason underpinning Helena Ford’s explosive feud with bombshell Toni Laites.

The clash between the ITV2 show beauties kicked off last week when former air hostess Helena, 29, began making moves on US-based Toni’s man Harrison Solomon, 22.

Fans reckon Helena doesn’t really like Harrison – and is after a ‘hot girl summer’[/caption]

Helena and Harrison scooted off to the Hideaway – reserved for duos who are not coupled up – and Helena was promptly branded a “sneak b***h” by her love rival.

This came before Helena and Harrison then locked lips.

Shortly afterwards, Toni, 24, dumped Harrison over his “sneaky” smooch – yet her decision, and fury at his conduct – sparked all out chaos in the villa.

Nearly all the Love Island cast became involved in one way or another.

Shakira had a go at Harrison for not being truthful to Toni about how he feels about Helena.

Then Meg, Helena, and Remell separately, questioned why Shakira was getting involved in the argument.

Later, Shakira then gave Harrison a piece of her mind about his behaviour.

As the drama rumbled on – and left Toni in tears – those watching at home reckon they know the real reason for her sadness.

Some have suggested that Helena doesn’t really like Harrison – and is using him as a way to remain in the matchmaking series.

One took to Reddit to comment underneath a thread that read: “Helena kissing Harrison for 5 minutes of validation,” suggesting the blonde was “faking” it.

They then commented on their theory and said: “It seems she needed some quick validation and decided to kiss 22 year old Harrison with his school boy crush on her. You could tell she was barely into their kiss.

“Helena is of course free to do what she wants to do, but was it really worth ending Toni’s first proper feelings in the house for 5 minutes of validation from a 22 year old?

“We all know Helena is not moving to America to start a relationship with college boy Harrison after the show.”

A second agreed and put: “I think thats what made Toni so mad at Helena. Because its obvious Helena isn’t really into Harrison, she just can’t have Harry and Giorgio is too boring but she needs to be partnered with someone.

“So having ‘your partner’ essentially be taken by a girl who doesn’t even want him as got to be frustrating as f**k.”

A third noted: “I don’t think Toni expressed it the best way but this is essentially what she was getting at.”

One then quipped: “Helena kissed Harrison because she wants to have her hot girl summer.”

Yet another fan stucjk up for Helena and put: “Sure, what Helena did was sh***y, but it’s not her fault Harrison isn’t feeling Toni.

“If it wasn’t Helena, it would have been another woman.”

STORY UNFOLDS

Helena and Harrison shared their first kiss in the spin-off villa room last week – sparking the drama in its entirety.

Inside the Hideaway Terrace, viewers heard Harrison tell Helena: “We could be in trouble after tonight.”

She told him: “It’s the risk you’ve got to take sometimes.”

“Are you willing to take that risk though?” he asked.

Helena then replied: “I’ve got nothing to lose.”

After they returned to the garden Harrison and Toni talk at the Firepit.

She tells him: “We just went on a f***ing date yesterday and you’re already going to the Hideaway with another girl.”

Following the row, Shakira gives Harrison a piece of her mind about his behaviour.

She says: “I don’t know what planet you’re on, you’ve obviously upset the girl, you know what reaction it was going to have…”

Toni then refused to accept Harrison’s apology and promptly dumped him.

EMMERDALE’S Kim Tate will need to watch her back, warns legendary TV actress Jaye Griffiths as she prepares to play the soap’s new ‘super bitch’.

Jaye, 61, joins the hit ITV soap tonight as new farmer Celia and it’s not long before she is squaring up to the Yorkshire village’s female residents.

First to face her scheming and manipulative behaviour is Moira Dingle. 

Celia turns up at her farmhouse asking to rent two fields. But despite being desperate for cash, Moira turns her down – much to the fury of Celia.

But in an exclusive interview today, Jaye admits her character will also have a few run ins with Kim Tate, played by Claire King, in the months to come. 

And when it comes to who is the biggest soap super bitch, Jaye reveals Celia will be an even icier character.

She told The Sun: “It’s Moira who feels Celia’s wrath to start with but let’s put it this way Kim and Celia will be having the odd chat! Kim will have a competitor.

“Here we have got two women who don’t apologise for taking up space. Celia won’t diminish herself to make people feel comfortable and she will never apologise for anything.

She is simply out to get exactly she wants and everyone is going to have to watch out!”

Explaining why her character will be so bitchy; Jaye added: “Kim does have some humanity but Celia lacks it completely. 

“There are occasions when Kim recognises her behaviour is out of order whereas Celia never does that. She doesn’t realise she is being mean, it’s more a case of ‘give me what I want’.”

She predicts that if Kim and Celia do unite, then it will be a powerful duo.

“It’s going to be a strong combination with Kim and Celia,” hinted the actress.

“Most women my age would always stand aside – Celia won’t be!’

Jaye has starred in a string of big BBC dramas, including Silent Witness, Doctors and Casualty, over the years. She also played DI Sally Johnson in The Bill.

But it’s her new Emmerdale role as the soap super bitch that really excites her. Readily admitting she is a huge fan of actress Claire King; she reveals the two actresses are both feeling excited that they will get to work together in the months to come. 

“Claire has been on holiday,” she explained. 

“So, we haven’t quite started the filming. But we have been messaging each other and we are both looking forward to our scenes together. 

“I am a fan of Claire’s in a mild geeky way and she has been extraordinarily kind. I am so looking forward to our adventures together.

“I’m loving it so far filming my scenes and everyone has been so welcoming on set. Celia is one of the best parts I have ever had because she is so manipulative!”

But it won’t just be Emmerdale’s female residents who will have to watch out. Paddy Dingle will also get attacked by one of Celia’s security dogs in the first few weeks, leaving him hospitalised. 

“She won’t say sorry though,” warned Jaye. “It’s never her fault!”

Emmerdale runs every weekday on ITV1 and STV1 at 7.30pm.

A SMUG reseller has left people gobsmacked after boasting about making a “full-time wage” through flogging tat from high-street stores.

The man, who earns a living buying and selling items from shops such as Superdrug, urged people to “stop being stupid” and quit their 9 to 5 jobs to follow in his footsteps.

But people accused the self-proclaimed entrepreneur not only of “ripping people off”, but also described his way of earning as a “waste of time.” 

Posting on social media, the content creator who posts under the username ‘Resell Republic’, gave an insight into how he earns cash, leaving many totally stunned.

As he entered a Superdrug store, he said: “Why on earth would you work 40 hours a week for somebody else’s business, when you can make a full-time wage reselling retail products?”

He then advised: “Stop being stupid, stop selling your life for a quick paycheck and watch this.”

The bargain hunter then shared how he earns money through retail arbitrage, which involves reselling products for profit.

The process, which is completely legal in the UK, involves reselling items through Amazon FBA – an online service sellers can use where Amazon takes care of the storing, packing and shipping of products.

The man headed straight to Superdrug’s clearance section, where he emptied the shelves of Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF Sun Cream, which had been heavily discounted. 

The reseller then confirmed: “We’ve got this sun cream reduced to £7, so we give it a scam with BuyBotGo – we’re gonna sell it on Amazon for £17.99 and that’s gonna leave £4.22 profit per unit, which is over a 60% return on investment.”

As he headed to the till, he then added: “So we’ve done the hard part, we’ve sourced the products, now we just need to purchase them – make sure you’re using a rewards card to maximise your profits, and then we’re gonna send them in the next box to the Amazon warehouse tonight.

“And then once that’s done, I don’t have to do anything else – once they sell, Amazon staff will send them out for me and I can focus on sourcing more and more products.”

Social media users react

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @resellrepublic_, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 256,100 views. 

It’s also amassed 6,413 likes, 589 comments and 1,962 saves. 

If it was that easy we would all be doing it

But social media users were stunned by the man’s claims and flocked to the comments to criticise his side hustle. 

One person said: “Clearing out the shelves so normal people can’t buy affordable things, great idea.” 

Another added: “Basically ripping people off, nobody in their right mind would pay 18 quid for suncream!!!!!” 

A third commented: “Waste of time, too much effort.” 

Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “If it was that easy we would all be doing it.” 

At the same time, one user penned: “Now wait three years for them to sell.”
