Major free English attraction named one of the best in Europe to get £15million makeover

5 days ago world News Comments Off on Major free English attraction named one of the best in Europe to get £15million makeover

THE National Railway Museum in the UK is to undergo a huge multi-million revamp.

Thanks to an investment of £15million, the free attraction will be updated in the hope of becoming a “reinvented, inspiring 21st-century attraction”.

FXHD60 Henry Oakley and Flying Scotsman in the National Railway Museum at York — The National Railway Museum will be completely transformed in years to come

The museum in York has been open since 1975, housing locomotives over 100 trains such as the Duchess of Hamilton, the Flying Scotsman and Japanese bullet train, Shinkansen.

They get over 700,000 visitors each year, entry is completely free and they’ve been named as one of Europe’s best attractions.

In the 2022 Travellers’ Choice “Best of the Best” Things to Do Awards across the world, York’s National Railway Museum came in at number 8.

And visitors it’s been hailed as the “best train museum in the world” with another saying it’s a “must-see” in York, even if you’re not a train enthusiast.

But with years of footfall, a few areas are in need of a makeover and so they’ve been given a huge investment from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

Some of the £15million will be used to maintain the current exhibitions as well as go towards “plans for growth”.

The ‘masterplan’ from the National Railway Museum states they will improve both the York museum and its sister site Locomotion in Shildon, County Durham.

The National Railway Museum says it hopes to inspire the next generation with railways of “past, present and future”.

It’s not the first time that the National Railway Museum has received funding, as they were given an investment of £18.6million in 2019.

As a result, Station Hall has been closed since 2023 while undergoing repairs to the roof and redecoration.

Station Hall is one of the biggest sites in the museum and was once home to York’s main goods station and was a working railway building from the 1870s to the 1960s.

It will re-open to the public in September 2025, in time for the National Railway Museum’s 50th birthday celebrations.

The 50th birthday of the museum also coincides with 200 years of modern railway, so the museum is gearing up some special exhibits and events to celebrate.

Along with the re-opening of Station Hall, there are other highlights like ‘Railway Firsts’, a brand-new exhibition on display at both the National Railway Museum and sister museum Locomotion in County Durham, which opened on February 8.

The shortlisted entries to the Young Railway Photographer of the Year competition will be on display from June through to December.

The competition theme is ‘Railway 200’ with prizes on offer.

On the weekend 27-28 September, there’s a chance for rail enthusiasts to go behind-the-scenes with visitors able to access areas of the museum that have previously gone unseen by the public.

Craig Bentley, who became Interim Director of the National Railway Museum in January, said: “I can’t think of a better 50th birthday present than a restored and revitalised Station Hall.

“I know how keen our visitors are to see the results of our hard work inside the space—with plenty of surprises still to reveal as we approach the reopening.”

And more information on the Museum Depot that will open later this year.

Three top attractions to see on a trip to York

Along with the National Railway Museum, here are the top places to visit in York...

York is home to the world’s first official ghost walk, called the Original Ghost Walk of York. Established in 1973, the haunted walks start at the King’s Arms Pub and last around 90 minutes. Tours start at 8pm and cost £10 for a full-paying adult and £6 for children.

York’s Chocolate Story tells the story of the Rowntree’s factory that was founded in York in 1862. The guided tour takes guests through the timeline of chocolate, from its start in Mexico up to the 21st century, while also letting you sample favourites like Aero and Kit Kat.

Y Old Starre Inne, built in 1644, is possibly the city’s oldest public house, and it was used as a hospital during the Civil War, but these days you can head there for classics like steak and ale pie, chicken kiev and fish and chips.

‘My friends laughed at my bizarre drunk injury but then doctors gave me two years to live,’ says mum, 32

5 days ago world News Comments Off on ‘My friends laughed at my bizarre drunk injury but then doctors gave me two years to live,’ says mum, 32

A MUM who was carried home when her foot “bent outwards” on a night out was laughed at for being “too drunk” – until it turned out to be a bizarre terminal cancer symptom.

Jade Collett was only 22 when she was on a night out with friends and began experiencing strange symptoms in her right foot.

When her symptoms persisted, she visited her GP who sent her for an MRI scan and further tests – it was then it was discovered Jade had a brain tumour[/caption]

The 32-year-old says she noticed it had turned slightly outwards and gone completely numb, forcing the mum-of-one to be carried home due to the pain.

Despite her friends laughing her ailment off as “being too drunk”, Jade grew more concerned when her symptoms persisted the following day.

Jade, who lives in Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, visited her GP who sent her for an MRI scan and further testing.

The results revealed that Jade had a brain tumour in her motor cortex, which was affecting mobility in her foot, and she had just two years to live.

Devastated, Jade began planning her own funeral and preparing herself to say goodbye to her one-year-old daughter Grace.

However, nine years after her terminal cancer diagnosis, Jade is continuing to defy doctors’ predictions who “cannot explain” why her tumour remains the same size.

Now, Jade credits her unusual foot symptom for helping save her life by catching her hidden cancer early.

Jade, who is unable to work due to her tumour, said: “I was on a night out with my friends then all of a sudden my foot started to turn outwards a little bit.

“I had hip dysplasia during my pregnancy so thought it was something to do with that or I’d twinged a nerve.

“Everyone thought it was a pinched nerve. It didn’t cross my mind that it could be something sinister.

“When we walked into town, it was hurting but a few hours in I couldn’t even put my foot on the ground it was hurting that much. I had to be carried home.

“All my friends thought I was drunk and just laughed it off.

“But the next day I still couldn’t put my foot on the ground and it felt really numb.”

Jade was sent for an MRI scan after visiting her local GP, which revealed that she had a brain tumour and would need further testing.

Jade said: “I just froze. I didn’t even talk or cry. I was just sitting in the car silent thinking what is going on?

“I remember balling my eyes out crying saying ‘I’m going to die’. Grace wasn’t even one yet.

“They told me the fact my foot turned outwards was really lucky because not that many people get that symptom. And I didn’t have any other symptoms.”

A biopsy confirmed that Jade had Grade 4 Glioblastoma – the most aggressive type of cancer which originates in the brain.

Jade said: “The only thing I thought about was Grace. I asked how long I had and he told me two years max.

“They said it’s inoperable because if they attempted to remove it, I would be disabled.

“They would give me treatment but it was just to keep me stable and prolong my life.”

Defying the odds

After undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Jade was “waiting around to die” but continues to defy doctors’ two-year prognosis.

Jade, whose foot still has the bend in it and is still numb, said: “I found it hard going past the second year because I felt like I was waiting around to die. I felt like I couldn’t plan ahead and was in limbo.

“I’ve got a will and had a whole funeral planned, it’s all ready. I never thought I’d have to plan my own funeral at 22.

“But I’ve always wanted to keep going for Grace. I feel so lucky and just thought I’m going to carry on with my life.

“Since having my treatment nine years ago, I haven’t had any more treatment and I’m still here.

“Doctors have no idea what’s going on and they’ve called me a miracle. They have no answers and are gobsmacked I’m still here and so healthy.

“I’m just really grateful and feel so lucky. I think this happens to less than one per cent of people who last as long as me with this type of tumour.

“My foot definitely saved my life. I’m very glad my foot did this because I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

“Every day I get I’m super grateful.”

The most common symptoms of a brain tumour

More than 12,000 Brits are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour every year — of which around half are cancerous — with 5,300 losing their lives.

The disease is the most deadly cancer in children and adults aged under 40, according to the Brain Tumour Charity.

Brain tumours reduce life expectancies by an average of 27 years, with just 12 per cent of adults surviving five years after diagnosis.

There are two main types, with non-cancerous benign tumours growing more slowly and being less likely to return after treatment.

Cancerous malignant brain tumours can either start in the brain or spread there from elsewhere in the body and are more likely to return.

Brain tumours can cause headaches, seizures, nausea, vomiting and memory problems, according to the NHS.

They can also lead to changes in personality weakness or paralysis on one side of the problem and problems with speech or vision.

The nine most common symptoms are:

Headaches
Seizures
Feeling sick
Being sick
Memory problems
Change in personality
Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
Vision problems
Speech problems

If you are suffering any of these symptoms, particularly a headache that feels different from the ones you normally get, you should visit your GP.

I went to Thailand & decided to move here – rent is £408 with a pool & restaurants are so cheap I NEVER have to cook

5 days ago world News Comments Off on I went to Thailand & decided to move here – rent is £408 with a pool & restaurants are so cheap I NEVER have to cook

A WOMAN has revealed her monthly expenses after ditching the UK to start a new chapter in Thailand.

Janelle Ciara visited the picturesque Southeast Asian country last Christmas – but the three-week trip has now been extended for a whole year after Janelle decided to sign a year contract for a new apartment in Thailand.

Woman answering question about rent cost. — Janelle decided to stay in Thailand to start a new chapter after visiting the country during Christmas last year

After falling in love with the ‘amazing energy’ Thailand offers, Janelle had a quick look on Facebook Marketplace where she found a stunning one-bedroom apartment[/caption]

The blonde stunner is currently based in Phuket[/caption]

Explaining why, Janelle told TikTok users that she’s just one of those people ”that just do random as f**k s**t” – and the unexpected move to Thailand was one of them.

”I hadn’t taken a risk for a while, I haven’t done anything crazy for a while, so this is what I’ve done,” she chuckled.

”I actually came to Thailand in 2023 and I stayed here for about three months and I absolutely loved it. But then I went back home.

”This time, I landed on Christmas Day and I was like ‘Why am I going back home?’,” said the ”digital nomad” who works as a content creator.

After falling in love with the ”amazing energy” Thailand offers, Janelle had a quick look on Facebook Marketplace – where she soon found a stunning apartment.

According to the blonde stunner, she pays around £408 every month to cover the rent – which is almost £600 less than she would have to fork out for a place in her city in the UK.

The gorgeous one-bedroom flat is one of the many in a posh apartment complex which features a co-working space, an outdoor pool, as well as a beautiful garden.

”I just cannot believe how cheap it is,” the travelling fan told fellow social media users.

”You pay for your electric and water separately, but water is around £3 a month and electric, depending on how much aircon and stuff you use, I’m probably gonna be looking at around £40 a month.

”It is so cheap to live here – and this is literally one of the reasons why I’m going to be living in Thailand,” said Janelle who is currently based in Phuket.

Showing off her apartment in the sunny country, Janelle said that the security outside the complex ”is high” – and if your name is not on the list, you will not be permitted entrance.

Once inside, residents can use the stunning co-working space which comes with free Wi-Fi, as well as massage chairs that are free to use when you fancy to relax a bit.

”It does get really busy here because I feel like everyone is working online now,” said Janelle who added the space also features a free coffee machine for that energy boost.

The complex also boasts an onsite gym – but although it is rather small, the equipment is more than perfect for cardio bunnies.

”As I said, security is really tight. I cannot get onto any other floor other than the floor that I live on with my keycard,” she told TikTok viewers in a recent video.

How easy is it to move abroad?

Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving:

Notify HMRC about your upcoming move.
Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address.
Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving.
If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad – contact the International Pension Centre.
You can sign up to the Royal Mail’s redirection service.
If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre.
If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools.

Sharing what her new apartment looked like, Janelle admitted that she did have to get used to it.

”Going from living in a three-bedroom, three-bathroom house to this tiny little apartment was definitely a culture shock.

”But in Thailand, I feel like unless you’ve got a villa, the spaces are really small.

”It is compact – but it does have everything you need. The tiny kitchen is never going to be used by me because in Thailand you literally eat out all the time.

”It is so cheap to eat out – why would you cook?”

‘I’m outta here’

Janelle’s video has clearly inspired many to chase their dreams and leave the UK for a cheaper live elsewhere.

One viewer revealed their epic plans, writing: ”Can relate. 4 weeks on Cyprus at Christmas. Sorting my visa and accommodation. I’m outta here.”

”This is what you call living life,” another wrote.

Someone else chimed in: ”Did the same thing as you, but with Barcelona. A year later and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Hope you have an incredible time.”

MOLLY-MAE Hague’s makeup artist has revealed the exact products behind her Baftas glam.

So if you were left stunned by the influencer’s flawless skin when she graced the red carpet on Sunday night, then you’ve come to the right place.

According to Hollie Flynn, the professional makeup artist behind the Maebe founder’s Bafta look, she used a 90p Primark essential and a £12 serum to ensure the mum-of-one, 25, looked glowy for the posh event.

Posting on social media, Hollie gave a list of the 16 products she used on Molly-Mae’s face, including the iconic Micellar Water from Garnier.

The much-loved Cleansing Water is a beauty staple loved by many and it’s perfect for cleansing and removing makeup.

And if you haven’t got any in your beauty bag, you’ll be thrilled to know that you’ll find it for just 90p for a travel size 100ml bottle from Primark.

Whilst Hollie used the cheap staple to prep this YouTuber’s skin for the event, she also used some posh buys that Molly-Mae loves.

For Molly-Mae’s eyes, Hollie applied the Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Cream and she also used the Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette from Makeup by Mario, as well as the Made by Mitchell Wingstop Eyeliner.

For the Filter founder’s skin, Hollie used the iconic Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream, but don’t worry if you can’t afford it, as bargain hunters will be pleased to know that Home Bargains have recently dropped a £3.99 almost identical dupe that beauty fans are raving about.

Not only this, but to achieve a natural, glowy skin look, instead of using a heavy foundation, Hollie opted for a serum that you can nab from Amazon for just £12.

Thanks to the L’Oreal Paris Tinted serum, which contains hyaluronic acid and leaves skin looking plumped and fresh, Molly-Mae’s face looked glowy and bright, without breaking the bank.

As well as this, to ensure the Love Island icon turned businesswoman was red carpet ready, Hollie used MERIT Flush Balm Cream and the MERIT Bronze Balm, as well as the Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Bronzing Serum.

In addition to this, Hollie also used a Natasha Denona concealer and wispy false eyelashes from Ardell Beauty.

But that’s not all, as this makeup pro also used the YSL All Hours Hyperbronze and the Dior Rosy Glow Blush to ensure the blonde beauty looked fabulous when she posed up a storm.

Molly-Mae's glow-down from ‘glamour model’ to ‘yummy mummy’

Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: “I believe Molly-Mae Hague‘s new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.

“It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.”

Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.

“She’s becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.”

According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae’s chic new look could be “highly lucrative” for the star.

Ed told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae Hague’s transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.

“This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.

“It’s possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.

“Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships.

“By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.

“Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.”

Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: “She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.”

Ed also noted that Molly-Mae’s transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.

He continued: “Molly-Mae’s transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.

“The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.

“By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.

“This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.”

Nick agreed and claimed: “Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she’s also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that’s not flashy but totally on trend.

“Gone are the ‘look at me’ posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.”

And for the content creator’s lips, Hollie swore by the MERIT Bespoke Lip Pencil, as well as the Victoria Beckham Beauty Lip Pencil in the shade 02 and the Armani beauty Power Matte Lipstick in the shade 111.

Beauty fans were left gobsmacked with Molly-Mae’s red carpet makeup look and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.

Another added: “Gorgeous look.”

A FORMER Radio 1 star looked unrecognisable after showing off a new beard.

The 50-year-old took to Instagram to reveal his new look – and some fans compared him to Hollywood hunk George Clooney.

And Chris Moyles had his questioned answered immediately when he asked followers if he should keep the beard.

One wrote: “Not normally a beard loving girl but it’s a really good one and beautifully groomed.”

Someone else said: “There isn’t a bloke on Earth that doesn’t look better with a bit of face fur!”

And a third added: “Thought I was following George Clooney on insta for a moment.”

Chris has shown off a complete body overhaul in recent years, dropping from 18st to a much healthier 12.

The former I’m a Celebrity star – who quit Radio 1 in 2012 – and later said of his decision to get fit: “I’m getting older. If I don’t keep fit I will be dead by the time I am 50.”

Since 2015 Chris has hosted a show on Radio X and he took part in I’m a Celeb in 2022.

His jungle campmates included Coronation Street’s Sue Cleaver, Hollyoaks star Owen Warner and series champ Jill Scott.

Chris reportedly landed an eye-watering £250,000 pay day for his time on the show.

But he later joked that even the huge amount wasn’t enough for what he went through.

When Irish comedian Jason Bryne appeared on Chris’ show, he told him: “We were all plugging for you in Ireland.”

Jason added: “You couldn’t hear us, though, screaming we were, for Chris Moyles.”

And Chris quipped: “I couldn’t hear you because of the voices in my head that were so loud saying, ‘why did you agree to do this, no amount of money is worth this’.”

Who is Gabby Petito’s ex-boyfriend Jackson?

5 days ago world News Comments Off on Who is Gabby Petito’s ex-boyfriend Jackson?

JUST days before she was murdered by her abusive fiancé Brian Laundrie, Gabby Petito told her ex-boyfriend Jackson of her plans to escape the monster’s clutches.

Here’s everything we know about Jackson, who is featured in the docuseries American Murder: Gabby Petito, which delves into the tragic final days of the influencer’s life.

Close-up of Jackson from American Murder: Gabby Petito.

Who is Gabby Petito’s ex-boyfriend Jackson?

Jackson dated Gabby Petito for about a year before she started her ill-fated relationship with Brian Laundrie.

As the investigation into Gabby’s disappearance progressed, Laundrie went into hiding before becoming a person of interest in the case.

He ultimately took his own life before being brought to justice.

In Netflix’s American Murder: Gabby Petito, Jackson shares his perspective on Gabby’s situation, as well as his interactions with Gabby in the days leading up to her murder.

The series also includes the first-ever interview with Jackson, as well as previously unseen texts, diary entries, and footage from family and friends.

Jackson said Gabby texted him one night while she was separated from Laundrie on their four-month journey across the US.

After cops were called on the couple in a disturbing domestic violence incident in Moab, Utah, on August 12, 2021, Laundrie flew back to Florida for a few days

On August 22, 2021, Gabby wrote in a message to Jackson: “Hey, I’m sure I’m the last person on the planet you want to hear from.

“I would really love to talk to you. I’m only alone until tomorrow.”

Jackson told docuseries creators Julia Willoughby Nason and Michael Gasparro that they wound up talking with each other for hours.

Gabby even expressed her desire to get away from her abusive fiancé.

Jackson said: “She was like, ‘I have a plan. I think I want to leave him. I’m gonna do it. I have to figure out when to do it.’

“And that’s when I was kind of like, ‘What are you talking about? What do you mean you have a plan?’

“From the sound of her voice and the way she was saying it, I think that she, like, wasn’t sure what he would do or what he could do.

“I think she was wanting to get away, but just didn’t know how to do it.”

She was like, ‘I have a plan. I think I want to leave him. I’m gonna do it. I have to figure out when to do it

On August 27, 2021, Jackson heard from Gabby for the last time — she told him she was thinking of him on her trip.

Jackson said: “Gabby Snapchatted me, ‘Hey, I’m in Jackson Hole and it reminded me of you.

“Later in the day, I had gotten a phone call from her. I was at work and unable to answer it.”

“Maybe if I did answer that phone call, I could have helped or there could have been a different outcome.”

How to watch American Murder: Gabby Petito

American Murder: Gabby Petito dropped on Netflix on Monday, February 17, 2025.

Exploring the sad story of Gabby’s disappearance and death, the docuseries is made up of three parts.

The show features interviews with her loved ones, who reveal the untold story behind her tragic murder.

FANS of Max George are begging the star for answers as they’re left in limbo over The Wanted 2.0’s tour shows.

The Wanted star Max, 36, was admitted to A&E last December and had heart surgery and a pacemaker fitted after doctors discovered a heart block, which caused his heart to beat abnormally.

And he recently revealed he had to undergo a secret second heart operation after his pacemaker wires were inserted too deeply.

Fans are now sharing their concern for the star as The Wanted 2.0’s tour dates loom closer.

Max is still hoping to perform with The Wanted 2.0 co-star Siva Kaneswaran later this year, with one of his shows due to take place in a little over a week.

The Wanted 2.0 comprise of Max and Siva, with the duo due to perform at Manchester Cathedral next Thursday.

On February 27, The Wanted 2.0 are due to perform exclusively as part of the Echoes 2025 series.

And now fans are sharing their concern that they think the show could be cancelled amid Max’s ongoing health woes.

One fan took to X this week to share their fear that the show might be cancelled last minute.

FANS SHARE CONCERN

“Of course Max’s health is absolutely paramount, the fan penned, “that goes without saying.”

“But there needs to be an announcement made about this gig at Manchester cathedral,” the fan added.

They concluded: “It’s meant to be next week… They need to cancel/postpone it and let the fans know.”

The fan then replied to someone else a while later and said: “We’ve got tickets but I think it’s pretty obvious it won’t be going ahead.”

The Sun has reached out to Max’s manager for comment.

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday recently, Max opened up about his health and scary second operation.

“I was trying to get back to good health but was still having a flickering sensation for weeks after I had my pacemaker fitted and it was gradually getting worse and worse.

“When my heart rate went up, it was causing a shock in my heart which was making me jump all the time.

SECOND OPERATION

“My chest was shaking,” he added.

After several visits to the hospital, it was only when a representative from Max’s pacemaker company Medtronic was visiting the ward by chance, that they were able to get to the bottom of his discomfort.

He was booked in for his second operation straight away, on January 15, but was warned that the rare situation could cause a dangerous bleed on his heart.

He said: “The night before, I was really nervous, I didn’t sleep much.

“I was worried it could go wrong again and felt anxious that it could bleed out.”

But the operation went well and he was “pleased it had gone successfully”.

HEALTH UPDATE

And just 13 hours ago he shared an update on Instagram.

“A few weeks ago I had to go back into hospital after having some physical symptoms in my chest. It turned out that one of the leads was placed too far into my heart,” he said.

“The second surgery took about 2 hours. Luckily, it was a success and they kindly let me listen to Oasis the whole time,” Max went on.

He added: “It’s been a setback, but it’s just one of those things. I’ve had a few complications the last couple of months but I’m having loads of tests to make sure everything is all good.

“It could take a few weeks / months for the inflammation of my heart to subside, but I’m sure I’ll be back on top form in no time!

“Thanks everyone for all your lovely messages and support through what’s been a pretty rough time. Means a lot.”

Shocking moment streaker wrestles security guard who ends up with idiot’s BUM in his face

5 days ago world News Comments Off on Shocking moment streaker wrestles security guard who ends up with idiot’s BUM in his face

THIS is the shocking moment a security guard ended up with a streaker’s BUM in his face after a dramatic tussle.

The incident occurred at Eden Park in New Zealand over the weekend during the Super Rugby game between the Chiefs and the Blues.

The former won the match 25-14 in the opening round of the season.

But with just 10 minutes remaining, a streaker decided to try and steal the limelight.

Video footage showed two men stripping off before running on to the field.

One legged it after evading security.

But the other ended up wrestling with another guard on the side of the pitch.

As the streaker squirmed in an attempt to break free, he managed to slip out of the last his clothes.

And unfortunately for the security guard, the streaker’s bare bum ended up nestling against his face.

Fans reacted with shock to the incident online.

One said: “Bro got a little too excited.”

Another declared: “Bro just went skinny dipping.”

One noted: “He’s spending the rest of the day in the shower.”

Another added: “Blood doesn’t get paid well enough for this.”

Speaking after the game, Chiefs captain Luke Jacobson admits he saw the funny side.

He said: “A few nuts and bolts out. You’ve just got to laugh at it.

“It’s not ideal for the game, but it’s not a distraction for us at all.

“We just let the security guards deal with that.”

Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu added: “It didn’t really take away from us and what we were trying to do.

“I do feel sorry for the security though.”

‘It’s a vital liquid’ – Drivers must keep 60p essential in their boot to boost their heating as temperatures plummet

5 days ago world News Comments Off on ‘It’s a vital liquid’ – Drivers must keep 60p essential in their boot to boost their heating as temperatures plummet

DRIVERS have been urged to nab a cheap essential that can help make their car stay warmer as temperatures plummet.

Best of all, the little-known solution can cost as little as 60p.

As the cold snap continues to bite, motorists are keen to keep their car’s interiors as toasty as possible.

Car experts at the AA have explained why the costly item is so essential for drivers.

Antifreeze is a glycol-based liquid that drivers can easily add to their vehicle’s cooling system.

It stops the water from freezing under normal cold weather conditions.

Antifreeze also includes various additives that provide additional benefits, such as corrosion inhibition, pH balancing, and anti-foaming properties.

As well as lowering the freezing point, antifreeze also raises the boiling point of engine coolant.

Better still, it can be found for a relatively low price – with some products coming in as low as 60p – and we were able to find K2 Kuler Radiator Coolant Antifreeze for the low price of £1.44 for a 1-litre bottle.

Making sure your car’s antifreeze levels are topped up can even help improve fuel economy, by helping your car run at an optimal temperature.

To top up a car engine’s coolant, it’s simply a case of opening the reservoir cap – be careful the engine is not too hot and make sure to use a cloth wrapped around the cap to open it – and add it to the fluid level.

“Modern car cooling systems are smaller, with higher operating temperatures and pressures than in the past,” the experts said.

“That means it’s especially important to use the correct additive.

“If you don’t use antifreeze, your car’s engine and other components could suffer serious damage if the water freezes or overheats.

“Water expands as it freezes, which can split radiators, pipes and water pumps or even break engine casings.

“This vital liquid helps your engine in other ways too.

“It prevents scale building up and protects against corrosion, helping to keep your car’s cooling system healthy.

“If you don’t know what type of antifreeze is in your vehicle, it’s not easy to identify it without sophisticated tests.

“The colour of the antifreeze isn’t proof of the type or quality of product that was used.

“If you’re worried you’ve used the wrong type of antifreeze, it’s best to take it to a professional mechanic who’ll drain and flush the system.

“Antifreeze is a hazardous substance, so you should never attempt this yourself.

“Once it’s empty, it can be refilled with the recommended type of antifreeze at the correct dilution level.”

What’s the difference between antifreeze and coolant?

Antifreeze and coolant are similar, but not exactly the same.

Antifreeze is a concentrated product, normally based on glycol and containing inhibitors.

Some types of antifreeze are required to be diluted with water at a suitable concentration before you use it.

Once the antifreeze is diluted with water – usually 50/50 – it becomes coolant.
