He said: “I am so delighted to be back wading around in blood. We have made sure that Wicky has some bizarre characters to deal with this series.

“Looking forward to sweating in a scene of crime suit and wearing the earring that my nieces find so cringe.”

While Jon Petrie, the BBC‘s Director of Comedy, said: “We couldn’t be happier to introduce our fantastic cast for the upcoming season of The Cleaner.

“Greg and SHUK have done a terrific job finding some top comedy talent for Wicky to bounce off, figuratively speaking.”

Jake Paul set for career change that is ‘not easy to do’ after controversial Mike Tyson boxing fight

2 hours ago World Leaks Comments Off on Jake Paul set for career change that is ‘not easy to do’ after controversial Mike Tyson boxing fight

JAKE PAUL is in line for a career change that is “not easy to do” after his boxing fight with Mike Tyson.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer faces heavyweight great Tyson on November 15 in a clash that has attracted controversy over the age gap.

But Paul is also primed to make his MMA debut next year after signing a deal with the Professional Fighters League.

PFL CEO Peter Murray revealed the American could cross over from the ring to the cage right after fighting Tyson.

He told Sportskeeda: “Yeah, we’re lining it up.

“Obviously, Jake is finishing up boxing this year, with this massive fight against Mike Tyson.

“Then a lot of planning is going into Jake Paul’s debut in 2025 and we’ll be sharing those details after Jake gets in the ring with Mike Tyson and we lay out our schedule for Super Fights next year.”

Paul is 10-1 as a boxer with his only defeat coming against Tommy Fury in February 2023 – a month before signing with the PFL.

And the PFL publicly offered Fury £15m to rematch Paul in the ring before a trilogy bout in the cage.

The 2019 Love Island star – who recently split with Molly-Mae Hague – has since called out Paul to an MMA bout.

Murray meanwhile promised that Paul’s debut MMA opponent will be a notable one.

He said: “Plenty of options and Jake is committed to fighting a very, very credible, well-rounded MMA fighter, and [it’s] not easy to do.

“It’s not easy to cross over from boxing into MMA. You know, the crossover from MMA or other disciplines into boxing is a lot easier.”

My garden was overlooked by nosy neighbours & I didn’t want to fork out on a taller fence – my hack gave instant privacy

2 hours ago World Leaks Comments Off on My garden was overlooked by nosy neighbours & I didn’t want to fork out on a taller fence – my hack gave instant privacy

WHETHER you are looking to enjoy a quiet afternoon in your garden, or entertain guests without prying eyes from the neighbours, a privacy fence offers the perfect solution.

According to market research and home improvement trends, the demand for garden fencing, including privacy fences, has been on the rise.

Experts believe it’s down to more people spending time at home due to the cost of living crisis.

And also they are becoming more aware that a well-maintained garden, with privacy, can enhance the aesthetic appeal and value of their properties.

And not to mention nosy neighbours being a big reason as to why many want one.

But for a typical UK garden requiring around 10-15 panels, they don’t come cheap.

The total cost for a wooden privacy fence, including installation, might range from £500 to £1,500.

For higher-end materials like composite or metal, the total cost could range from £1,200 to £3,000 or more.

But one homeowner discovered a savvy hack to help block out her peering neighbours without having to put up a privacy fence.

The woman, who is known as @ahomefitforkings on TikTok, explained how she “loved” her garden “but hated being overlooked at the end of the garden.”

Sharing a video on her TikTok account, she filmed what she could see when she looked out of her kitchen window – and it was a direct view of the house opposite and their back window.

So instead of investing into a privacy fence, she got privacy trees instead.

The homeowner invested into pleached hornbeams and they “create the perfect screen.”

She explained further in her video caption: “The difference these pleached Hornbeams have made to the end of the garden is amazing.

“I hated looking out of the window and seeing that house behind us.

“We bought mature trees which was a more expensive option, but we wanted coverage asap.”

I so wished we had put some of these in instead of red Robin for privacy

She then went to ask her followers what they thought, and if they were a fan of the trees.

The video got over 32,000 views with many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.

One said: “They look beautiful. How long did they take to grow?”

The homeowner replied: “I think they’re a few years old, we bought them mature.”

Whilst someone else said: “Excellent! “That would drive me potty too!”

What are your rights over a fence row?

IT'S very important to know your rights if you are embroiled in a fence row with a neighbour.

How do I know which side I own?

A boundary feature can be a fence, wall, hedge, ditch, piece of wire, or sometimes even just the edge of a driveway.

The only way to know for certain who owns what side and to avoid any neighbour disputes, is to refer to the title plan or Land Registry.

In this, the T mark is used to indicate who the boundary belongs to and therefore who is responsible for its upkeep, say pros at Jacksons Fencing.

Larger developments tend to have some indication provided by the builder, but there are no hard and fast rules

People often think they are responsible for the left (or right) hand boundary wherever they live, but there isn’t any legal basis for this.

You can check with HM Land Registry to see which boundary feature you are responsible for.

Often households can’t get hold of the paperwork but experts say they shouldn’t panic.

Homeowners can guess who owns the fence by checking where the rails are.

Pros say: “The fence is typically facing away from their property so that their neighbour gets the ‘good’ side.

“This is the most secure way of facing fencing so there are no rails for anyone to use to climb into your garden.

“This is then repeated with the neighbour on the other side to ensure that each home has both a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fence side.”

Walls and fences are often built on the land of the boundary’s owner with the edge of the wall marking the limit.

While professionals agree a glimpse at the fence can give you a hint, it’s not foolproof – so you can’t be certain.

Fines and punishment

It is recommended to always check legal documents before making changes to avoid hefty fines.

There is no law that the neighbour has to get the good side of the fence, so it’s completely up to whoever owns the fence.

Fencing pros have suggested: “It may be worth selecting a double-sided panel with no ‘bad’ side as both sides look the same and rails are concealed within the fence panel.”

If one boundary backs onto a road or footpath you can install the panels with the rails on the inside

But if it’s installed on the outside, it can provide an “easy ladder for burglars to enter your garden”.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Property Litigation Association have created a mediation service to help neighbours resolve disputes over their property boundaries without resorting to court action.

RICS also provides a list of surveyors who could assist in boundary disputes.

If a dispute continues, it is ultimately a court that makes decisions, but they do not like such disputes being put before them.

Changing a boundary

If you want to change an existing boundary, such as replacing an old fence with a new one, we always recommend discussing with your neighbour first and making sure it is all agreed.

The registered titles can help you to reach an agreement, but only if this information has been added.

In terms of decorations on a fence legal advisers recommended asking around over who actually first installed it.

But they also urged caution before getting to work on amending the fence without getting more certainty yourself – since there is a danger of actually being prosecuted for criminal damage.

How high can a garden fence be?

The height of the fence is measured from your ground level, this can have an impact when, due to slopes in the ground, your garden may be at a higher level than your neighbours‘.

A garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission if it’s over than 2m.

However, there are some complications to this.

If you are thinking about front garden fences, restrictions state that fences alongside a driveway can be a maximum of 1m or 3ft.

You would need to get planning permission for putting a trellis on a fence of 2m.

But, if any plant that you grow on that trellis exceeds 2m, you do not need to obtain a permit for the growing plant.
