A HUGE blaze has ravaged warehouses and spread to 15 vehicles as residents were warned to close windows.
Fire crews were called to the inferno at a recycling centre on Hovefields Avenue, in Basildon, Essex at around 1.15am today.
Locals reported hearing “loud bangs” from the scene and thick plumes of smoke could be seen billowing across the A127.
Some residents even said they could see it from neighbouring Kent.
A total of 12 fire crews were sent to tackle the flames, which has now been scaled back to five.
Residents are being urged to keep their doors and windows shut as firefighters expect to be on scene all weekend.
Group Manager Steve Wintrip said: “Site staff are using a digger to move and break up the recycling so our crews can extinguish it.
“This will be a long process and we expect to be on site for at least another 48 hours.
“It will also continue to create a lot of smoke, so we would urge residents in Basildon and Wickford to keep doors and windows closed.”

Christine reminisced on her baby girl’s life so far as she shared a montage video of her pregnant with Felicity and her as a baby and toddler.
The TV star wrote: “Happy Birthday to my beautiful, curly haired, crazy angel Felicity, My baby G is 8 today going on 18!
“My little lady with the biggest personality and the strongest mind, you really are a whirlwind of fun and energy no one can keep up with!
“Words can’t describe my love for you and how proud I am to be your mummy!”
She continued: “Obviously I don’t show my children publicly but I can tell you my Felicity is a natural entertainer, always wanting to make people laugh, she is going to be one hell of a strong woman with a very caring beautiful nature.”
Fans were quick to take to the comments to celebrate with the family.
One commented: “You have put together an amazing family day & beautiful birthday for your little angel”
“Strong women raise strong women (heart emoji),” penned a second.
“Have a great day with your family. You look amazing, so beautiful (fire emoji),” a third added.
Daughter Felicity is one of three children Christine shares with comedian and TV presenter Paddy McGuinness, 51.
In her 2021 book, A Beautiful Nightmare, Christine admitted the diagnosis caused problems within her marriage as they fought over how to handle the kids.
The model admitted to having ‘constant arguments’ with Paddy over the kids amid divorce.
She wrote: “It will be autistic people that cure cancer. I do hope Leo, Penelope and Felicity will be independent one day.
“I don’t know if they’ll have relationships but if they do and they’re happy that’s great.”
“A constant argument between me and my husband is him thinking they’re not going to be able to do anything and I’m constantly saying they will.”

6 days agoWorld LeaksComments Off on Strictly ‘double curse’ that tore controversial couples apart, wrecked careers & left homeless Corrie star sofa-surfing
BENEATH the sparkle and dazzle of Strictly Come Dancing lies a phenomenon that’s cast a shadow over the show for years – the dreaded curse.
Ben Cohen has told a court that he and Kristina Rihanoff’s relationship is on the rocks[/caption]
The couple began dating after being paired on Strictly in 2013[/caption]
Ben split up with his wife of 11 years after the show ended[/caption]
While some have insisted it had nothing to do with the show, others brazenly ended up with the people they have been partnered with.
Many have been able to spin their controversial newfound relationships into lasting romances, but others have fallen victim to further misfortunes.
Ben, a former rugby player, made the revelation after they appeared in court over Kristina driving her £30,000 Audi Q3 without insurance.
During the hearing, Ben said: “I wake up every day fighting not to lose everything—my cars, my house, and my relationship. I’m deeply overdrawn.”
Kristina and Ben were paired together during the 2013 edition of Strictly,
Once the series ended, Ben disclosed that he had split from Abby, his wife of over 11 years.
At the time, he was forced to deny he had an affair with Kristina after they were spotted linking arms while travelling on a London train.
The pair eventually went public with their relationship, welcomed their first child together in 2016, and got engaged.
They now join a growing list of celebrities and professionals who faced further misfortunes after falling victim to the Strictly Curse, as we reveal…
Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff

A week into the show, Joe left his girlfriend of five years Jo-Emma Larvin[/caption]
Falling for Ben was not the first time Kristina tasted the Strictly curse.
Just one week into their pairing on the BBC show in 2009, boxer Joe Calzaghe, 52, sensationally split with Jo-Emma Larvin, his girlfriend of five years.
Shortly afterwards, he began a romance with his dance partner, Kristina.
In an interview at the time, Jo-Emma revealed she was concerned when Joe told her about his plans to join the show.
“I said to him, ‘Don’t they all end up having affairs?’, she said. “Then, the first week he started, we broke up. Make of that what you will.”
She added: “It all just happened so fast, I was really confused. I was a mess. Joe’s changed. The Joe of the last year or two is certainly not the Joe I fell in love with.”
Although Joe and Kristina’s relationship appeared solid, it did not last – they broke up after four years.
Explaining the reason for the split, Kristina said: “He wanted a girlfriend at home with his family in Wales, but he didn’t want to get married or have children and I didn’t want to give up that dream.
“And I won’t live a lie, because life is too short”.
She added: “He always found it difficult when I danced with other men.”
Georgia May Foote and Giovanni Pernice
Georgia May Foot and Giovanni Pernice began a relationship after Strictly ended[/caption]
Before that, she had been in a relationship with fellow Corrie actor Sean Ward.
Judging by her chemistry with Giovanni, 34, many fans wondered whether their relationship was strictly professional. Georgia assured fans that she was happy with Sean.
But after the series wrapped, she shockingly broke up with Sean only to start a new relationship with Giovanni.
At the time, it was reported that Sean’s insecurities over her closeness with Giovanni led to their split.
But their relationship did not survive.
Before the next series of the show kicked off, Georgia took to social media to write: “It is with great sadness we have decided to split up. There is nobody else involved.”
According to sources, their break up was a huge shock for Georgia as they had been thinking about the next stages of their relationship.
A source said at the time: ” She’s devastated and in shock because it was not something she was expecting.
“There’s a definite feeling among her friends and family that it was very convenient timing for him.”
Last year, Sean revealed he was homeless and sleeping on friends’ floors, and he also admitted he tried to take his own life in 2018.
He said “I know deeply how lonely [being cancelled] can be and isolating, after trying to take my own life in 2018 after discovering the evil on this planet and no one caring.
“I decided using whatever s**tty little platform I’d built through my acting career to at least try sieve through the propaganda together and thereby sabotaging my own reasonably successful career- to go from earning 120K a year to 12K a year, sleeping on a mates mattress is actually unfathomable to most people.”
Matt DiAngelo and Flavia Cacace
Matt DiAngelo and Flavia Cacace became a couple after they were paired together[/caption]
Italian dancer Flavia Cacace, 44, made headlines when she dumped fellow professional dancer Vincent Simone in 2007 for EastEnders star Matt DiAngelo, 37.
Before that, the pair had been in a relationship for eight years and had been long-term dance partners.
Vincent is said to have blamed Matt for the split and was allegedly furious about the flirtatious behaviour and late night conversations between the pair.
However, Matt insisted he did not act on his feelings for Flavia until he was certain that she was single.
He told Mirror: “When dancing sometimes we had to look like we wanted to rip each other’s clothes off. I wasn’t sure what was real and what wasn’t.
“It wasn’t until the final I realised I fancied her. We were together from 8am till 3am and because she was so excited, she looked extra beautiful.
“When I saw her in the Mrs Santa Claus outfit, I knew I’d fallen for her. I want Flavia to be my girlfriend and I don’t want to be big-headed but I think she wants to be with me too.”
But Flavia and Matt’s romance did not last – they split in 2010 with Flavia insisting their break up was amicable.
She blamed their busy work schedules for the failed relationship – but a few weeks later, she admitted she was dating her dance partner, actor Jimi Mistry.
She and Jimi are now married, while Matt is also married to wedding planner Sophia Perry.
Seann Walsh and Katya Jones

When it comes to the Strictly curse, very few have experienced it as harshly as comedian Seann Walsh, 38 and Katya Jones, 35.
In 2018, Sean, who had a girlfriend then, was paired with married professional dancer Katya.
But all hell broke loose when The Sun revealed that the pair had shared a passionate kiss outside a pub in London.
The news is said to have shocked Neil, Katya’s dancer husband, who also worked on the show, and Seann’s actress partner Rebecca Humphries.
Shortly after the revelation, Katya and Seann released grovelling apologies and blamed their antics on the booze.
He wrote on social media: “In light of the story in today’s newspaper I would like to offer my sincere apologies for my actions.
“This is no excuse but it was a one-off drunken mistake which I am truly sorry for.”
In the following weeks and months, the couple received intense public backlash. It even impacted his career with few people showing up for his gigs.
The two sparked a huge scandal when they were seen in a passionate kiss outside a London pub[/caption]
Seann, who was a contestant on I’m A Celebrity in 2022 told fellow campmates: “Easily the most depressing month of my entire life, Edinburgh after Strictly.
“We get to Edinburgh, right, I think it’s a 200-seater, I’ve never not in Edinburgh sold out the first night.
“It doesn’t even occur to me that it’s not sold out. Just before I’m about to go on, my agent comes in and goes, ‘Just so you know, there’s like 30 people.’
“To get told that when you’re just about to go on… horrific. It was at that point I was like, ‘Oh, oh..’. My career was dead, I was over.”
After the scandal, his girlfriend slammed him publicly and broke up with him.
Kara Tointon and Artem Chigvintsev got together on Strictly[/caption]
He went on to marry Nikki Bella in 2022 and have a child with her[/caption]
He was arrested for domestic abuse and she’s filed for divorce[/caption]
They were together for a few years but, after a lot of speculation they’d split, in 2014, she told the Telegraph: “We are not together. We’re fine, but we aren’t a couple any more.”
Kara added that it was due to the fact Russian Artem was unable to stay in the UK permanently, as he didn’t have a Visa, and they were struggling with the distance.
Artem went on to marry WWE star Nikki Bella in 2022, and has a four-year-old son Matteo with her.
However, earlier this month he was arrested for domestic abuse, after making a call to 911 for injuring Nikki.
Strictly Come Dancing's scandal has been growing over the past few months, with several major players speaking out about what went on. Here are the key moments of what's happened so far
17th May: Giovanni becomes the centre of an official investigation after three former partners – believed to be Amanda Abbington, Laura Whitmore and Ranvir Singh – make complaints to the BBC.
13th July:Graziano Di Prima is axed from Strictly for “gross misconduct” after footage of his treatment of Zara McDermott is brought to the attention of the BBC.
Graziano quickly broke his silence, apologising for his behaviour in a statement and saying he “deeply regrets it”, adding his “intense passion and determination to win might have affected his training regime.”
16th July: Zara McDermott speaks out publicly for first time. She states while the production team were “amazing to work with”, she found the rehearsal room “completely different”, confirming there’s footage of “certain situations”.
21st July: Paralympian Will Bayley, who has limb condition arthrogryposis, revealed he was encouraged to leap from a table during a dance routine, despite fears. The stunt caused an injury that forced him to withdraw from the show.
23rd July: Celebrity agent Melanie Blake claims she was sexually assaulted by an unnamed pro dancer while backstage on the show, and claims she witnessed ageism, rudeness and a rough treatment to the point of injury.
23rd July: BBC boss Tim Davie breaks his silence on the ongoing allegations against Strictly, saying he is ‘deeply sorry’, adding: “Hundreds of people, be they pros, contestants or crew have been part of it and had a brilliant experience.
“At the same time if someone thinks there was something wrong or they want to talk about their experience then of course we want them to raise that with us. Be in no doubt we will take it seriously, listen and deal with it as appropriate.”
24th July: Strictly 2023 star Krishnan Guru-Murthy holds a bombshell interview with Amanda Abbington on Channel 4 news, where she claims she was bullied, with some of the ‘humilation being of a sexual nature’.
11th August: Just as the investigation was expected to conclude, Amanda made a dramatic intervention. Giovanni was on the brink of being cleared until Amanda handed in more text messages.
A source said: “They’ve also looked at his BBC contract and believe there are grounds to sue.”
Meanwhile, the BBC also delayed releasing the findings of the probe into Giovanni Pernice. The Sun revealed that the results of the three-month investigation were unlikely to be announced in August.

6 days agoWorld LeaksComments Off on ‘I have delivered here,’ says Erik Ten Hag as Man Utd boss faces pressure following miserable international break
ERIK TEN HAG admits he is under pressure – despite a fresh vote of confidence from Manchester United’s top brass.
The Dutch boss saved his job by winning the FA Cup in May and was given a new deal.
Defiant Erik ten Hag says he has delivered success at Man Utd[/caption]
But defeat at Southampton today would mean United losing three Premier League games in a row for the first time since 2015.
Asked about support from upstairs, Ten Hag said: “In football you have to win, you have to deliver, that’s clear. As I’ve said, I have delivered here.
It’s good the new leadership acknowledge this and says this, we are working together to be more successful.
“We have higher targets than we’ve already achieved.”
United finished eighth last term and started this season with two defeats from their first three, including a 3-0 walloping by Liverpool two weeks ago.
But new chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Dan Ashworth backed Ten Hag during the international break.
Berrada said: “Do we still believe in Erik? Absolutely,
“We think Erik is the right coach for us and we’re fully backing him.”
Meanwhile, Ten Hag insists United are in a transition period.
New chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made big changes behind-the-scenes, while five new players have been brought during the summer.
Ten Hag, 54, added: “It’s not only to do with me, nobody can deny in these last eight or nine months a lot has happened to this club.
“A new leadership team, new structure and ownership structure. It’s a huge turnaround I would say.”
Ten Hag is also dealing with huge injury problems, with Leny Yoro, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund out.
But left-back Tyrell Malacia, 25, is back in training after missing all of last season with a knee injury.
He said: “We want to motivate him to return, but it’s not so easy when you are so long away.
“He’s working very hard and making big steps.”
Nine managers Man Utd considered before keeping Erik ten Hag
ERIK TEN HAG appears to be safe as Man Utd manager, but the Dutchman edged dangerously close to the sack.
Here are nine managers Red Devils chiefs are reported to have considered for the job and what allegedly happened with each.
Gareth Southgate
Enjoys plenty of support among Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos chiefs but made clear he wouldn’t talk to any clubs until after Euro 2024. There is yet to be any suggestion that contact was made with the England boss.
Kieran McKenna
Talks were opened with McKenna’s representatives before the FA Cup final, but the former Man Utd coach opted to sign a new deal with Ipswich after Ten Hag’s Wembley win.
Roberto De Zerbi
Allegedly sounded out before the FA Cup final with salary expectations discussed. But Ineos chiefs concluded ex-Brighton boss was not the right fit for the project.
Thomas Frank
Brentford boss met Man Utd representatives the day before the FA Cup final. The Dane also dined with Ratcliffe, Roy Hodgson and Frank Lampard at the launch of a new Ineos car in February.
Marco Silva
Fulham boss reportedly met Man Utd representatives face-to-face two days before the FA Cup final, around the same time as Ten Hag was conducting his press conference.
Mauricio Pochettino
Fell out of Man Utd’s thinking in the first week of June, despite being a favourite of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Thomas Tuchel
Made a very strong impression and came across well during a Monaco meeting. Personal terms were discussed before the ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss decided to step back from the process.
Ruben Amorim
Sporting boss was discussed by the Man Utd hierarchy but did not make the final reckoning.
Roberto Martinez
Portugal manager was considered in the early stages.
