Unique job opportunity on Scotland’s ‘Sunshine Island’ with £30k salary up for grabs

A RARE opportunity to live and work on Scotland’s “Sunshine Island” is now up for grabs.

Tiree, located within the Inner Hebrides, is renowned for being one of the sunniest places in the UK, thanks to the warmer temperatures brought by the Atlantic gulf stream and its long summer days.

Home to around 650 residents, the island now offers a unique chance to live and work there ahead of this year’s tourism season.

Two hotels on the island are seeking an “energetic and hands-on” manager to oversee operations across both properties – with “free accommodation” included.

The Tiree Lodge Hotel and the Scarinish Beach Hotel are just five minutes apart by car.

This full-time role involves working a minimum of 45 hours per week.

The advertised salary ranges between £30,000 and £34,000, depending on the applicant’s experience.

Key responsibilities include overseeing the overall management of both hotels, supervising and training hotel and restaurant staff, and ensuring consistently high standards of service.

The successful candidate will also be tasked with providing guests with a “clean and comfortable experience” by delivering “outstanding customer service.”

Prior hospitality management experience in a similar role is essential.

Applicants must also be “practical and hands-on” and capable of training and directing staff to maintain “consistently high standards.”

Tiree is famously flat and almost entirely treeless, a unique feature that contributes to its distinctive climate.

The open landscape allows for uninterrupted views of the horizon, while the lack of trees means it is often exposed to strong winds sweeping in from the Atlantic.

The island of Tiree, with its blindingly white sands and crashing surf, has earned the nickname “Hawaii of the North.”

It’s a destination that could make visitors feel as though they’ve been transported abroad, with its white-shell beaches and turquoise waters.

Balephuil Bay is a perfect spot for swimming and a firm favourite among surfers.

The island’s iconic beaches regularly host world-famous surfing competitions, including the Tiree Wave Classic – the longest-running professional windsurfing event in the world.

I tried a £4 dupe of Clinique’s £24.50 Black Honey lip balm – it’s so hydrating & ‘flatters every face’

A WOMAN has caused outrage in the beauty community after announcing she found the perfect dupe of Clinique’s Black Honey lip balm.

Ash, from the UK, took to social media to film her shopping trip in Boots and came across the lip product.

She said: “Apparently these lip butters from Seventeen Cosmetics are meant to be a dupe of the Clinique Black Honey ones.

“They are £4, and they’ve got this in the shade, Deep Honey, which does actually look like it.”

Clinique’s Black Honey product has been a cult-favourite since it was released in 1971.

It delivers a sheer slip of transparent pigment that works with the natural tone of your lips to create a customised shade to complement any skin tone.

The colour has a mix of purple, brown and red tones that seamlessly blend into everyone’s lips, so, was the dupe just as good?

Ash revealed that the colour looked pretty much identical to the designer version despite the £20.50 price difference.

The lip balm costs just £4 and Ash said it was super hydrating and easy to apply, just like Clinique’s £24.50 version.

She added: “I feel like this is such an incredible dupe for £4.

“I love the consistency, it does feel like a lip balm, it feels really, really hydrating.

“I feel like it has that pigment that went absolutely viral.

“If you want an affordable alternative for the Clinique Black Honey Lip Balm, then I would definitely go try this one out.”

The clips soon went viral with over 400k views on her TikTok account @makeupbyash.x.

People were quick to comment, and while many thanked Ash for showcasing the affordable dupe, many were annoyed she had revealed their secret.

One person wrote: “I’ve been gatekeeping them for a couple of months now I’m obsessed and now they are gonna sell like mad.”

Love Island All Stars’ Ronnie takes savage swipe at co-stars after being brutally dumped from villa

RONNIE Vint has brutally snubbed his Love Island co-stars and claimed he ‘wasn’t there to make friends’.

Ronnie’s outburst comes after he and girlfriend Harriett Blackmore were dumped from the All Stars villa just 24 hours before the final.

The pair were picked to go by a group of returning islanders, yet Ronnie isn’t bothered by his former co-stars turning on him.

Speaking hours after the couple were shown the door, Ronnie has even admitted he speaks to just FOUR guys from last summer’s Love Island, which he first appeared on.

Ronnie told Love Island’s Morning After podcast: “For me, you meet these people on the show, are they really going to be your mates after?

“I probably speak to four people from my series, boy-wise.”

Ronnie did described the twist, which saw the ex islanders each pick to dump one couple from the least popular three, as “brutal”.

However, Harriett is more bothered about the girls turning on them than Ronnie is with his guy ‘friends’ doing the dirty.

Harriett also said on the podcast: “Some of them voted us the most strongest couple. So it’s like, okay then. To do that is just weird to me.

“I think the girls are who I struggle with the most. Especially Tina and Samie. I just thought they were my really good friends.

“It just awkward, isn’t it?”

Fans were left stunned on Sunday night when Ronnie and Harriett were dumped just hours from the final.

Eleven 2025 islanders returned to the villa in South Africa and were told to kick out either Ronnie and Harriett, Sammy Root and Elma Pazar, or Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame.

Ronnie told the boys it was a “sore” way to go and he and Harriett were left raging at many of the reasonings given by their ex co-stars.

Most of the dumped contestants cited the fact Harriett and Ronnie split weeks after leaving the villa last summer as the main reason for kicking them out – something that the couple rejected as a valid reason.

Fans were also furious with the decision to kick the couple out, with one writing on social media that the Love Island app “needed a Harriet and Ronnie were robbed button”.

There are now five remaining couples in the villa.

They are Luca Bish and Grace JacksonEkin-Su and Curtis PritchardCatherine and Omar, Elma and Sammy as well as Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman.

This year’s winning couple will be crowned in a nail-biting final TONIGHT.

At least 11 dead as entire US braces for ‘arctic outbreak’ and coldest temps yet after cars found FROZEN in flood waters

AT least 11 people are dead as brutal ice, harsh wind, and dangerously cold temperatures have wracked the country in an arctic blast.

A week-long arctic outbreak is bringing the coldest weather this winter has seen from the North Pole up to multiple states across the country.

More than 65 million Americans have been issued cold weather alerts in 13 states from Texas to Minnesota.

The extreme weather has brought freezing rain to states including Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.

The flash floods in Kentucky have killed at least 11 people, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear confirmed on Monday.

“All of Kentucky still has standing water in different areas,” Beshear said in a storm briefing.

“Over 300 roads still impacted and closed, so everyone, be careful.”

The flooding was so extreme in Detroit, Michigan, that people had to be rescued from their homes, according to ABC affiliate WXYZ.

Frozen cars in Detroit were stuck in icy flood water standing at least two feet high, a terrifying video posted on X showed.

The chilly rain will be followed by snow flurries before record-low temperatures are expected to hit the US in the coming polar vortex.

A polar vortex is swirling cold air that moves from the North and South Poles.

The icy weather event, which is the tenth and coldest so far this winter, will move temperatures well below zero for states across the Midwest and East Coast.

Temperatures are expected to plunge to -45 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chill in areas including northeastern Montana and North Dakota.

The wind chill is expected to make the temperatures even lower,

Areas in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota face an “extreme cold warning,” according to the National Weather Service.

“Your face will fall off at these temperatures,” Meteorologist Ryan Maue warned on X.

Love Island bombshell reveals new romance just a WEEK after quitting All Stars holding villa

LOVE Island’s Lucinda Strafford has revealed her new romance just a week after quitting the All Stars holding villa.

Lucinda, 25, who had jetted off to South Africa for the current series last month, made a dramatic U-turn, flying back to the UK before entering the show.

Now, it seems the influencer’s found romance elsewhere.

The former Islander shared a cryptic TikTok yesterday, holding a bouquet of flowers at the top of a snowy French ski slope, in response to a fan’s comment.

The message had read: “Wait, you were meant to be on Love Island and all of a sudden someone’s buying you flowers????” referencing a previous post of hers.

Lip-syncing to Kendrick Lamar’s Swimming Pools (Drank), Lucinda appeared to confirm she’s moved on swiftly – sparking speculation about her mystery new love interest.

Taking to her Instagram grid, Lucinda continued to pose from the Courchevel Ski Resort, writing: “a valentines to remember..” in her caption.

A source previously told The Sun that Lucinda had been keen to return to the Love Island villa but grew frustrated with the lengthy holding period before entering:

They said: “Lucinda was asked to come and do Love Island again and she was really ready to give it another go.

“But she ended up being in holding for too long and wasn’t happy about it.

“She decided it would be too late for her to go in and make a connection.

“It was a tough call but she decided to head home.

“She thinks it’s for the best and this season just wasn’t for her.”

Lucinda later shared a very cryptic post, confirming this year’s All Stars “wasn’t for her”.

A video of her in a car beaming with excitement and happiness was shared on TikTok with a very defiant message.

The clip had writing over the top of it which read: “Respectfully, this is how it feels knowing Love Island All Stars is not for you this year.”

It certainly got tongues wagging in the comment section, with one person saying: “The mountain in the background looks familiar, are you sure??”

CHANGED HER MIND

Someone then speculated: “I think she was going to go on but has changed her mind now so she’s leaving.”

While a third said: “Camps Bay/Clifton are very distinct.”

A fourth then echoed that the area she was driving through looked familiar when they said: “Ya we know Cape Town lol.”

Next year girl,” said a fifth.

While a sixth penned: “Maybe she wanted Scott and now he’s gone.”

Love Island All Stars 2025 official line-up

Love Island All Stars is back on TV for season 2.

Here we take you through the line-up of all the Islanders who are in the villa so far.

Bombshells

Each series brings with it a string of hot single bombshells making their epic entrance into the villa.

Here’s who has joined the villa so far:

‘TRUST YOUR GUT’

Lucinda didn’t share just one cryptic video, because she shared another that saw her on a plane giving her followers some advice.

“Trust your gut,” she said defiantly.

She added: “If something feels off, it most definitely is off.

“You know yourself more than anyone else. So definitely make sure to trust your gut.

“Also, if things are out of your control, let it have freedom of your mind, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

LUCINDA’S OTHER ISLAND STINTS

Lucinda shot to fame when she appeared on the reality-dating show in 2021.

As an islander in season seven, Lucinda entered as a bombshell on day nine before being dumped on day 28.

During her time on the show Lucinda was coupled up with three different guys including Danny Bibby, Brad McClelland and Aaron Francis.

After her UK Love Island stint, Lucinda headed down under for Love Island Australia around one year ago.

Entering the Aussie villa on day two, she was then crowned runner-up on day 29 alongside then-beau Zac Nunns.

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet spotted with $152k sign they’re ‘super serious’ after couple attends BAFTAs in London

KYLIE Jenner and Timothee Chalamet were spotted wearing matching luxury Cartier rings at the BAFTAs after recently sparking engagement rumors.

The lavish rings caught the eyes of fans as Kylie, 27, supported Best Actor nominee Timothee, 29, at the film awards in London on Sunday.

Timothée was nominated for his role in A Complete Unknown.

The star, who played Bob Dylan in the biopic, could be seen holding Kylie’s hand as they sat together front row at The Royal Festival Hall.

He wore a stunning Cartier Panthère ring on his little finger from the luxury French jewler, which is crafted in white gold and encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds.

Kylie could be seen wearing an identical ring on her right hand. The unmistakable band, with a price tag of $76,000, includes black onyx spots placed to mimic the panther’s fur, while the eyes are set with emeralds.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star looked sensational on the night, in a sheer backless dress paired with silver heels.

Yet it was her ring that caught the attention of her army of fans.

They brought the conversation to social media site Reddit, with one sharing photos of the smitten couple at the event.

The fan captioned the pics: “Timothée and kylie’s matching panthère cartier rings…”

One more agreed: “Oh to have a matching cartier ring with your significant other!”

Kylie, who is already mom to two children, has been dating the Dune star for almost two years.

But she has never been engaged before.

She has been in several high-profile relationships though, including with Tyga, Travis Scott, with whom she shares daughter Stormi and son Aire, and now Timothée.

BIG NIGHT OUT

Kylie put on a loved-up display with the Wonka actor, who was seen affectionately holding her hand, before he leaned to whisper in her ear.

It comes after she was seen supporting her man at the Berlin Film Festival last week.

Kylie and Timothee were first linked romantically in April 2023 and they tried to keep their relationship quiet for month.

Yet her attendance by his side throughout awards season has shown just how strong they are.

The superstar couple have also set tongues wagging that they’re ready to take the next big step in their relationship.

Kylie sparked engagement rumors when she rocked a massive diamond ring at Santa Barbara Film Festival last week.

It wasn’t the first time she has sent fans into a frenzy over a potential engagement.

Last year, they spotted a massive diamond ring in an episode of The Kardashians.

It comes after Kylie responded to pregnancy rumors with a romantic dinner with Timothée just a couple of weeks ago, while drinking wine at dinner.

Speculation has been rife that the pair could be expecting a child together after a video she made with her kids.

Appearing at the start of the video, she sat with a huge shopping bag covering her stomach, which fans said could have been her way of hiding the pregnancy.

The clip went viral online, with one fan speculating: “COVERING HER BELLY AND THE PREGNANCY NOSE NAURRRRRR.”

Kylie has been guilty of hiding her pregnancy in the past, only revealing daughter Stormi once she’d given birth in February 2018.

She did the same again with son Aire, where she hid in baggy clothes, avoiding public appearances and didn’t confirm the pregnancy until after he arrived in February 2022.

Chilling new telescope pic of 30,000mph ‘city-killer’ asteroid with 1-in-48 chance of smashing into Earth

CHILLING new telescope photos of the “city killer” asteroid hurtling towards earth at 30,000mph have been released.

The chance of the space rock smashing into Earth when it loops around in 7 years’ time is estimated at a 1-in-48 chance – or just over two per cent.

The striking new images of asteroid YR4 2024 were captured by a space telescope in Chile on February 7, and show it in the most detail yet.

They were taken through the lens of the Gemini South Telescope – a powerful, 26-foot device in the Andes that specialises in staring deep into space.

Bryce Bolin, a NASA astronomer involved in the photo operation, told Space.com: “Only a few asteroids have been studied like this.”

The grainy images show 2024 YR4 as a bright white smudge against the night sky.

The rock was around 37 million miles from Earth when it was snapped.

Photographing a fast-moving object from such a distance is incredibly difficult, and required the team’s full expertise.

Bryce explained that they “took 12 200-second long exposures in the Red Band [the wavelength of red light] and tracked the motion of the asteroid”.

He said the task was difficult because the asteroid was relatively faint – meaning it could only be picked up using a very large telescope.

Another challenge was presented by the moon, which was 70 per cent full.

The moon’s illumination caused background lighting that made it even harder to see the asteroid.

Physicists will be keeping a close eye on YR4 over the next seven years as it cycles through its orbit around the sun, and are eager to learn as much about it as they can.

They currently believe it is between 40m and 100m across, and if it hits earth could produce an impact equivalent to 8 megatons of TNT.

The “city-killer” name comes from scientists’ prediction that the blast would blow a crater the size of a city into the Earth’s crust.

A terrifying simulation has been produced showing the devastating impact it could have.

The day of potential collision has been calculated as December 22, 2032 – just before Christmas.

There’s also a 0.3 per cent chance that the asteroid could smash into the moon, rather than our planet.

David Rankin, an operations engineer for the University of Arizona, said that if the moon was hit we would be able to see the strike with our own eyes.

He said: “There is the possibility this would eject some material back out that could hit the Earth, but I highly doubt it would cause any major threat.

“It would be very visible from Earth.”

Bryce said that, despite the chance of danger, he finds YR4 “to be extremely exciting” due to “the scientific potential of studying such a small asteroid in high detail”.

He added that this could be the final “chance we have to observe the asteroid from Gemini” before it approaches again in 2028.

The rock is expected to fade around mid-March, making it more difficult to detect from the ground, but passes nearby Earth around once every four years.

The approach after next is when it could collide with Earth.

Soon after being discovered in late December, the asteroid rocketed to the top of NASA risk list – and further study has only increased the calculated chance of impact.
