DRIVERS have been warned to check their route ahead of a major UK motorway closure TONIGHT.

Travel chaos could strike across the weekend as works take place on a busy stretch of road – used by around 150,000 motorists daily.

A diversion route has been put in place for those wishing to use the M62, which connects Liverpool to Hull, due to an essential bridge replacement.

Network Rail will be working on the 60-year-old Castleton bridge from today.

Closures are place from 9pm until 6am on Monday September 23.

Affected stretches of the motorway include eastbound routes shut from junction 18 at Simister Island interchange to junction 20 at Rochdale.

Westbound the closure extends between junction 20 and junction 19 at Heywood.

Eastbound traffic from the M66 or clockwise M60 has been advised to exit at junction 21 of the M60 at Chadderton.

Drivers are then urged to follow the northbound A663 (Broadway) and A627M to rejoin the M62 at junction 20.

Meanwhile, westbound drivers will be diverted off the M62 at junction 20 onto the southbound A627(M), then westbound A664 and northbound A6046 to rejoin at junction 19.

This is the second dose of disruption, after another closure earlier this month.

Amid the shutdowns, Manchester Airport issued warning to passengers looking to jet off this weekend.

Writing on X, airport bosses suggested using “alternative routes” to get to the terminal and leaving earlier to avoid missing flights.

And in a similar statement, major airline Jet2 urged drivers to “avoid” the affected sections of the road.

The firm added: “Please allow enough time to travel to your departure airport as all Jet2.com flights are still due to operate as scheduled.”

There will also be no trains running on the line, which connects Manchester Victoria to Rochdale.

Rail replacement bus services will be in operation instead.

Network Rail sponsor Olivia Bolan, said: “The replacement of Castleton bridge is essential for the safe running of our railway, and crucial to the country’s economy as six per cent of the UK’s energy supply relies on the bridge for transportation.

“I’d like to thank passengers and motorists for their understanding while we carry out this work.

“It is a unique project that sees weekend closures of the M62 for the first time.

“Please, check before you travel on the M62 or between Manchester and Rochdale from 6-25 September 2024.”

Steve Mason, Nationals Highways’ North West programme delivery manager, added: “The collaboration between Network Rail and National Highways highlights our commitment to minimising disruption for both rail and road users during this essential project.

“We appreciate the understanding of passengers and motorists during this work and urge them to check travel plans for September 2024.

“National Highways is actively working with Network Rail to communicate the impact on road users and ensure a smooth process during this important upgrade.”

KATY Perry’s seventh album 143 has left many wondering whether the US pop superstar, 39, may have lost her Midas touch.

Having dropped at midnight, critics have already branded the music “mediocre” and ‘generic,’ with some even calling her comeback a ‘complete flop.”

Her lead single, Womans World has been described as ‘dated’ and out of touch. Also at odds with Katy Kat fan base, is her decision to work with controversial record producer, Dr Luke.

Music bigwig, Lukasz Gottwald, last year settled a decade of suits and countersuits over pop star Kesha’s allegation that he drugged and raped her.

With writing credits on all but two songs on the new Katy Perry album, critics and fans alike have questioned the pop star’s judgement, in hiring a male producer whose reputation is tainted, to write from a female perspective.

In July the Woman’s World single became Perry’s worst performing release from an album in her 16-year career, debuting at number 63 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and at 47 in the UK, before finally dropping off both charts the following week.

Indeed the music video for the song which features Perry and her backing dancers on a construction site wearing tool kit belts and vintage style headscarf, have also failed to launch.

Although the intention, according to Katie Perry was satire, a so-called parody of ‘girl boss feminism’, it seems that the music video has left fans unsure of the underlying message.

Not long after the album landed, critics began sharing their reivews online. Music magazine Variety said: “

‘143’ strips away the remnants of the perky personality that catapulted [Katy] Perry into early 2010s superstardom. The album is flat, coasting on cascades of lyrical cliches and musical ideas that rarely crest.”

Another critic said: “143 is not a bad album nor is a great album. It’s really mediocre and generic but in a bad way.

It just lacks the Katy Perry charm and soul from previous albums with Katy actually making generic songs work. Any person could’ve sung those songs imo.”

Meanwhile another reviewer scathingly added: “The cotton candy gurl is gone, this is melted ice cream. Forget “Teenage Dream 2.0,” Katy Perry stars in a “Mid-age nightmare” produced by Dr. Luke.A dance-pop album filled with ai-like/elementary lyrics.”

The first sense of Perry sliding out of touch, was the release of her 2020 album Smile, released at the peak of the pandemic before promptly slumping off the charts.

Now it seems that the unique brand of sugar-coated pop is past its sell by date with artists like Charlie XCX, Billie Elish, and Sabrina Carpenter choosing a more stripped-back confessional tone, that appears popular with the fans.

But many critics have also noted Perry’s strategic move to embrace her sexy side, in a bid to keep up with the current crop of pop starlets, as the mother-of-one approaches 40. 

Like many global artists in the vein of Madonna and Lady Gaga, there is a need for constant reinvention to stay relevant.

Raised by peneticostal preachers, Katy burst onto the music scene in 2008 aged 23 with her mega hit, I Kissed a girl. Since then her albums such as “Teenage Dream” and “Prism”, have sold millions of copies worldwide.

Her hit singles like “Firework”, “Roar”, and “Dark Horse” have topped charts globally, bringing in substantial revenue from sales and streaming.

The once dubbed ‘Queen of quirks’ concert tours are known for their elaborate production and high-energy performances.

Tours like “The California Dreams Tour” and “Prismatic World Tour” have been highly lucrative, grossing hundreds of millions of pounds.

As of 2024 het net worth is estimated at being £280 million.

Perry has been in a relationship with British actor Orlando Bloom since 2016 after meeting at the Golden Globes afterparty.

After getting engaged on Valentines Day 2019, they welcomed their daughter Daisy in 2020.

THE world of plus-size modelling is evolving, but for the women on the frontlines of the movement, the path to self-love isn’t always easy.

From battling societal stigma to overcoming limitations, four plus-size models offered their insights into the industry.

SWNS

Aly Avina spoke about the challenges and triumphs she has experienced as a plus-size swimwear model[/caption]

SWNS

Aly Avina, 30, from Virginia, regularly models for brands like Unique and Fabletics and averages about $50,000 (£37,600) a year.

Fo Aly, stepping into the industry began as a way to share body-positive messages with other plus-size women.

“I wanted to reach plus-size women who weren’t comfortable with how they looked yet,” she explained.

Posting on social media helped her build a following of over 200,000, but it also brought inevitable backlash.

“There are always people who want to troll the plus-size community,” she said.

“It’s going to attract those that want to tear you down, you’ll hear people say you’re glorifying obesity just because you’re in a larger body.”

However, Avina said that she has “taken the power back” through her platform.

“If someone wants to use ‘fat’ as a negative connotation, that’s their prerogative, but I’m not going to take being called ‘fat’ as an insult because that’s who I am,” she said.

Despite the negativity, Avina stresses that body positivity is about accepting yourself at any size.

Her biggest challenge is ignoring the hate, but she’s learned to develop a thick skin.

“You just have to stand up for yourself and not let it get to you,” she said.

Alex Aspasia, 30, a Fashion Nova Curve and OnlyFans model from Florida, believes that brands still overlook the larger end of the plus-size spectrum.

“I wear a size 24 (UK 28), and I feel like we’re still missing representation,” she explained.

“The average body for a plus-size model is a size 14 or 16 (UK 18 or 20), which is great, but there are also women beyond that size who need representation.”

Aspasia began her journey in 2019 by posting her fashion and lifestyle on social media, inspired by other plus-size creators.

But she’s often accused of promoting obesity simply by existing in her body.

“I never once have said it’s OK to be obese, I tell people to love themselves and live authentically,” she said.

“Fatphobia seems to be ramping up again with things like Ozempic and diet culture, but I know people are just projecting their insecurities onto me.”

“I tell people it’s OK to live authentically and love yourself because the best way to go through this life is with self-love and to be a kind person to spread positivity,” she added.

“And that’s literally been my message since day one.”

SWNS

Ivy Davenport, 38, who is also from Florida, started modelling as a way to fund her education and now owns HFG Multimedia.

“I started doing online adult plus-size modelling to pay for college,” she explained.

After one video went viral, Davenport received hundreds of nasty messages, including, “You’re disgusting,” “You don’t deserve to breathe,” and “Get away from the refrigerator.”

While the nature of her work has sparked controversy, Davenport is unfazed by negative comments.

SWNS

“There’s always going to be people saying hateful things, but I just ignore it or laugh,” she said.

“Fat isn’t a dirty word, it’s a descriptor.”

Through modelling, Davenport has developed a deep sense of self-acceptance.

“Modelling taught me to see beauty in everyone, regardless of size.

“Especially in plus-size modelling, it’s nice because it shines a light on people who might be overlooked in other settings.”

Dutchess Jones, 39, from Alabama, faces unique challenges as a “curvy plus-size” model, straddling the line between traditional slim models and larger BBW models.

SWNS

Davenport pointed out that she doesn’t regard the word ‘fat’ as an insult, instead seeing it as a descriptor[/caption]

“I’m a size 12, so I’m neither slim nor BBW. For me, it’s difficult on both sides because I’m neither of them,” she explained.

Jones, who models for up-and-coming designers in the plus-size community, highlighted the lack of inclusive sizing from many designers.

“There are still a lot of boutiques and designers that don’t cater to anyone over a size 8 (UK 12),” she said.

“A lot of designers don’t want to invest in the fabric or use plus-size models.”

Despite the hurdles, Jones is hopeful about the future of plus-size modelling.

“As of late, the world is becoming more aware of the talent that plus-size models bring to the table — the pizazz, the energy, the talent. There’s more to come.”

The vacant Millennium Hotel located off South 4th Street downtown has been purchased by a St. Louis-based nonprofit as of Wednesday.

MEGHAN Markle has been fairly quiet lately, despite having numerous projects on the horizon, such as her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard (ARO).

The Duchess of Sussex announced she is launching the brand back in March – but has so far only sent branded jams to 50 high-profile friends and influencers.

Meghan teased the launch back in March but her site isn’t live yet[/caption]

Meghan, 43, is also set to debut a cooking show on Netflix that will tie in with the selling of her ARO products, which could include everything from tableware to dog treats.

According to royal biographer Emily Andrews, ARO is aiming to sell Meghan as a “beacon of inspiration, aspiration and attainability.”

She told Grazia: “Her style will be sold as ‘affordable elegance’ and while her image will concentrate on her status as a family-orientated yet ‘regal’ figure, while customers will be urged to embrace their innate elegance and ‘elevate the everyday.’”

However, her lifestyle brand has recently “suffered a bit of a blow.”

Trademark woes

The Duchess of Sussex has experienced a setback in the bid to trademark her new homewares empire – after trying to claim ownership of the entire American Riviera. 

In a setback officials pointed out that the wording of her brand is a common nickname for Santa Barbara in California.

Without a trademark in place, anyone can “imitate the brand, flog cut-price rip-offs and cheapen its image.”

Emily added: “Of course, Meghan’s office might submit a disclaimer mark confirming no claim is made to the exclusive right of ‘American Riviera’ but that does prove rather a headache for her and for Netflix (who are helping to bankroll it).”

Further hitches include Meg and her team filling in the official forms incorrectly, and failing to send enough cash.

And their application wasn’t even signed.

Her team, led by top US attorney Marjorie Witter Norman under Meghan’s fledgling Mama Knows Best LLC firm, applied to the Patent and Trademark Office in the States for legal protection to exclusively trade using the name ‘American Riviera Orchard’.

But the application, filed in March, has been rejected and now she has three months to amend the request – or it will be removed from the register.

So far Meghan has sent 50 branded jams to influencers and friends[/caption]

‘Tricky time’

Emily added: “This all comes at a rather tricky time for Meghan – she and Harry signed a five-year deal with Netflix, which is due to come to an end next year.

“Neither side ever confirmed how much the deal was worth, but aside from their tell-all self-titled documentary series and another on the Invictus Games, they had nothing else to show for the reported 50 million.”

The Sussexes have bought the film rights to make a movie based on the book Meet Me at the Lake which is said to still be “in the works.”

Meanwhile, alongside Meghan’s cooking show, Prince Harry is reportedly filming a documentary on polo.

This comes as Meghan and Harry’s reported $20million Spotify deal falling through after one podcast series of Archetypes – with one senior official labelling them as “f***ing grifters”.

Harry’s in the money

However, the Sussexes may be receiving a large sum of cash soon, as it was reported Prince Harry will accept an £8million inheritance despite not being a working royal.

Before her death, Harry’s great-gran the Queen Mother arranged for him to get the trust fund payment on his 40th birthday, which recently took place.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold told the New York Post: “I’ve no doubt that Harry will accept it.

“It’s money that’s owed to him, money that’s coming to him. I don’t think he will decline the money.

“It’s inheritance so it’s his right. It’s already something that has been set in place for years now.”

A BRIT who had 70 operations after sick attackers doused her in acid in Zanzibar says she now feels “confident” in her own scars.

Katie Gee was just 18 and walking with a friend in the city of Stone Town when two men on a motorbike threw acid at her in a horror attack.

Katie had an ‘uncomfortable’ time with her appearance in the first few years after the attack[/caption]

The North Londoner, now 29, was volunteering at a school on the African island when she was targeted in August 2013.

The right side of her face, body and ear were “burnt to a crisp” as she had 70 procedures over the next three years to recover.

She was forced to wear a plastic face mask and a full body compression suit for 23 hours-a-day after the horrific attack.

Her right ear was so badly damaged it needed to be removed but she had a new one sculpted from tissue from one of her ribs.

Katie had an “uncomfortable” time with her new appearance in the first few years after the attack but has now found “confidence” with her scars.

The Brit, who has a background in real estate, said: “I remember going out for lunch and bumped into a friend’s sister and she didn’t recognise me.

“Now if someone wants to stares I will just stare back and make them feel very uncomfortable.

“I don’t have any shame anymore. I’m in a good place. I’m confident in my scars.”

Katie was going out for dinner with her friend when tragedy took place.

PA:Press Association

She said: “I was on the way and two men on a motorbike came past. They stopped for half a second.

“I was about to turn to say ‘what do they want?’ and as I was turning back they threw it.

“I tried to wipe my eyes. I tried to read the number plate.

“It started to burn straight away. I wasn’t sure at first if it was a really hot pot of coffee.

“I had heard of Katie Piper. I put two and two together.”

Katie hurried to a restaurant she had visited to before as she remembered that it had a shower, but was startled to see her face and body in the mirror.

She recalled: “It was a yellow, green colour. I was wearing baggy trousers, trainers and a t-shirt and hoodie.

“The acid was burning through the hoodie and burnt off the trousers.

“My ear got burnt off. They said it had burnt off like a crisp.”

Katie had 35 per cent burns and spent two-and-a-half months in the burns unit at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

She initially had lots of blood transfusions and donor skin placed on her body.

“They want all the burnt skin off you,” she explained.

Katie then spent the next three years in and out of hospital undergoing 70 operations, including 12-hour-long skin graft surgeries.

She found the year after the attack the hardest, saying: “The scars contract. That’s when they scars are really red and bumpy.

Katie now shares her story on social networks like TikTok[/caption]

“I had the face mask to put on for most of the day.

She revealed that surgeons wanted to shave her head and use the skin from her scalp, but she begged to keep her hair as “that was the only part that feels nice.”

Katie added: “It helped me leave the house. It was hard for me – I was on my own for three years.”

After getting her eye lid re-built, the 29-year-old finally had her ear reconstructed in 2015 – using cartilage from her ribs and skin from her scalp.

She said: “I didn’t have an ear for over three years.

“[The reconstruction] It made me feel normal. I was looking more like myself.”

Katie went onto graduate from Nottingham University with a 2:1 in sociology and has spent the last five years in real estate but has recently left her job to figure out a new career path.

It took a while for Katie to find the confidence to date again but she is now in a relationship with Michael, also 29.

She admitted: “It took a while to realise people can still fancy me.

“He is really nice and really sweet. He’ll compliment me all the time – even if I’m looking hideous.”

The culprit – who “smiled” before dousing Katie – has never been caught over the attack in the main city Stone Town.

Katie said: “It is still something I think about every day.

“Every time I look in the mirror I can see it.

“It’s still something that affects me all the time.”

Katie has now started sharing her story on TikTok to help others with body confidence and sharing her tips – such as the best make up for scarred skin.

She said: “I want to be a body positive person who is confident in her scars.”

Katie gave her first TV interview since the horror ordeal in 2018, on ITV’s Loose Women.

ZOE Ball appeared in good spirits on a day out with ex husband Fatboy Slim and their friends after vanishing from her BBC Radio 2 show.

Zoe, the BBC’s highest paid presenter after Gary Lineker, has taken six weeks off the flagship breakfast show but will return later this month.

Zoe has been off work for the last six weeks[/caption]

The legendary broadcaster, the BBC highest earning female presenter, laughed and joked with the group at a beach cafe in Brighton.

Earlier this months insiders claimed “nobody knows what’s going on” as she failed to return after her summer break.

Zoe, 53, usually takes the reins on the flagship show every weekday morning from 6:30am.

Last week her replacement Scott Mills, who is usually in the drivetime hotseat, addressed his appearance on her show and wished Zoe well.

He said: “If you set your alarm every morning to go off at 6:30am and normally Zoe comes on, please do not freak out. You have not overslept.

“If you’ve just put us on this morning, it’s Scott Mills in for Zoe for the next few weeks. I’m sending you all my love Zo’, as are the team.”

She has remained silent on the reason for her extra time off.

The beloved star had a tough time earlier this year as she revealed her mother had cancer, and passed away in April.

Zoe has not been on the The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show since she briefly returned to hosting on August 8, following a summer break.

A source told MailOnline about the mystery surrounding Zoe’s absence and said: “Nobody knows what has happened but everyone loves Zoe.

“We hope everything is okay. Zoe is so loved at the BBC so to not have her around is really noticeable.”

MCDONALD’S customers are convinced an iconic menu item is coming back after spotting a glitch on the chain’s app.

Dozens of fast food fans have taken to X and Facebook baffled over images that appear to show the nostalgic burger is set for a return.

Dozens of customers have posted screenshots of the mystery message[/caption]

Multiple screenshots posted by customers on the platform show “page not found” and “McRib Test Notification” messages on their MyMcDonald’s apps.

Others say “McRib Image Final” and “There is definitely currently no reason for this page to not not exist. Probably.”

One McDonald’s shopper said: “Ummm excuse me McDonald’s, we all saw it. THE MCRIB IS COMING BACK!”

Another posted: “Is the McRib back , McDonald’s app giving off mysterious notification and an even more mysterious webpage.”

A third joked: “McDonald’s just let everyone in the UK know the McRib is coming back with a broken test notification.”

And a fourth added: “McDonald’s thought they could sneak this one by and I wouldn’t notice.

“McRib coming to the UK.”

A spokesperson for The Sun declined to comment when asked if it was indeed bringing back the McRib.

However, they added: “McDonald’s is always looking to innovate with new and exciting menu items, as well as bringing back the fan favourites.

“If you’re keen to be the first to receive more info from McDonald’s stay tuned.”

The McRib was first added to the main UK McDonald’s menu in 1981 but was taken off just four years later.

The burger, which comes with a boneless pork patty covered in barbecue sauce and topped with onions and pickles, has made temporary reappearances since.

However, the 520 calorie burger is only available all-year round in Germany and Luxembourg and last appeared in UK restaurants in November 2017.

The tech-based glitch today comes after McDonald’s system crashed in March, forcing it to close some of its locations.

The issue was reported to be affecting restaurants outside the UK too, including in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

In other McDonald’s news, it shook up its menu earlier this month, adding six items.

The fast food giant even added a never-before-seen Twix Latte to its offering ideal for caffeine lovers.

Having launched in September 2021, The Cleaner was created by and stars comedian Greg Davies.

Game of Thrones star Conleth Hill, who played Varys, is among the upcoming guest stars[/caption]

The Taskmaster star, 56, plays state certified crime scene cleaner Paul “Wicky” Wickstead.

The series follows the snarky janitor as he wipes up the mess left behind after a murder.

Although Wicky spends all day dealing with blood and guts, he still manages to find entertainment at his job by interacting with the odd assortment of people he crosses paths with.

His working hours are spent gossiping with everyone from murderers to friends of the deceased.

Series three will begin airing from Friday, October 4 on BBC One and iPlayer.

Incoming guest stars include Game of Thrones star Conleth Hill and Inside No.9’s Steve Pemberton.

Joining them are Ghosts actor Ben Willbond, The Tower‘s Gemma Whelan and My Big Fat Diary star Sharon Rooney.

Greg Davies revealed he was “delighted” about the show’s imminent return.

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.”

The latest guest-star line-up follows big names appearing in previous series.

The very first episode featured Helena Bonham Carter as a guest star.

She played Sheila, a woman who killed her husband after 35 years of marriage.

After meeting Wicky, the pair planned a holiday together, however, Wicky ultimately turned her in.

Another episode featured David Mitchell as struggling writer Terence Redford, who had an antagonistic attitude towards Wicky.

Series three will begin airing from Friday, October 4 on BBC One and iPlayer.

TV presenter Gabby Logan says rugby star son Reuben has begged her to stop talking about her sex life.

Gabby had told her podcast The Midpoint hubby Kenny was still “fully functioning” following a prostate cancer op.

Rugby star son Reuben urged his mum to ditch the sex life talk on her podcast[/caption]

She said of Northampton Saints player Reuben, 19: “He’s like, ‘Mum, can you stop talking about your sex life, because now I go into work, they play clips in the dressing room. It would be helpful if you could just shut up for a while’.

“And I’m like, ‘Actually Reuben, next week’s episode — just on that’.”

Gabby, 51, added: “We don’t just talk about my sex life, can I just say.”

Former Scotland international Kenny had previously revealed the couple’s sex life was not what it once was after his cancer recovery.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022 before undergoing treatment on the disease.

Research has shown that 76 per cent of men who are treated for prostate cancer experience erectile dysfunction.

Appearing on his wife’s podcast last year, he explained: “Six months on, I would say I’m physically 100 per cent, mentally 100 per cent, feel good.

“From a sexual point of view, it’s not consistent. As the surgeon said to me, this could take 18 months.

“Within a month, I was getting movement, where he says, ‘That’s amazing’. So it’s just not as consistent.”

It came after he had revealed many men use a penis pump to help get back to normal erectile function.

During an episode of The Midpoint podcast in September 2022, Gabby joked: “You’ve been getting to grips with your penis pump on your own!”

Kenny hit back by adding: “If you ever walk in and see my penis pump, you’ve got to get out.”

The 52-year-old former wing made 70 appearances for Scotland during his career.

Son Reuben is into his second year as a professional at Northampton, having made his debut in September 2023.

The flanker has also featured for England at under-18 level and been named in the under-20 squad in the past.
