MODEL Frida Aasen shows she’s Frida do as she pleases — especially when it comes to advertising new clobber.
The Norwegian beauty, 29, delighted her fans by posing in a bikini from Sauvage Swimwear.
Elsewhere, her face is taking over New York — as she looks down from a giant billboard in Times Square.
It is part of an ad campaign for Ray-Ban’s Meta smart glasses.
Frida keeps in shape through gruelling gym workouts, which she shares online with fans.
She showed off her Alo gymwear on Instagram.
In a post she wrote: “All about functional movement in @alo new limestone color.”
Her hubby Tommy founded Neat Burger, which makes sustainable, plant-based food.
The couple set sail on their marital voyage in front of their family and friends — including former Topshop owner Sir Philip Green, 70, and his daughter Chloe, 31 — in Portofino, Italy.
They wed at Divo Martino church 11 months after Tommy proposed.
Frida shared a photograph from the run up to their day on Instagram and told her fans: “Sneak peek at our boat party the day before our wedding.”
GRASPING union bosses have demanded trainee doctors stop being called “junior” as they threatened to strike again unless they get more pay rises.
Leaders at the British Medical Association issued more demands after bagging an eye-watering 22 per cent pay rise from Labour to end strikes on Monday.
They now want junior doctors called “resident doctors”, calling the current term “demeaning” and insisting the change “will better reflect their expertise”.
They have called the salary deal – worth £7,000 to £12,000 per year – “modest” and said it is a mere “first step towards our goal” of full pay restoration.
It comes after 18 months of strikes that crippled the NHS, with more than 1.5million appointments cancelled and little to no progress on waiting lists.
We expect pay uplifts every year
Dr Vivek Trivedi
Co-chair of the junior doctors’ committee, Dr Vivek Trivedi, told the BBC: “We will expect pay uplifts each and every year, as we have done in the past.
“If those pay uplifts don’t occur in a timely fashion we’ll be going to the government.
“And if those communications break down, then we will be thinking about going back into dispute and striking again, but that’s always a last resort and something we don’t want to have to do.”
Sir Keir Starmer has insisted the pay settlement does not mean he will cave to future demands and he has promised to be “tough” with unions.
But ministers have bowed to the name change and agreed to call the medics resident doctors in official files.
BMA members voted on the change last year.
Junior, or resident, doctors have full medical degrees and work while doing on-the-job or specialist training that usually lasts five to eight years.
Dr Trivedi and co-chair Dr Robert Laurenson said: “There was never anything ‘junior’ about the work we do.
“The title ‘junior doctor’ misled patients into thinking that they were being looked after by underqualified or apprentice doctors.
“In fact we are expert clinicians who are responsible for a huge bulk of the medical care given to patients across the NHS every day.
“The language we use matters as well as pay, and this name change is a simple and straightforward way of marking a new era where resident doctors no longer accept less than they are worth.”
The Tories warned Labour had “set the precedent that strikes will be rewarded with bumper pay rises”.
Ex-Labour minister Chris Mullin said: “This is what comes of appeasing BMA extremists.”
Former health secretary and Tory MP Victoria Atkins said: “I am pleased for the sake of patients that junior doctors have finally accepted a deal.
“However, the threats to continue striking show the price that this Labour government has paid: an inflation-busting pay rise with no requirement for improving productivity, increasing value for taxpayers or even future-proofing against more strikes.
“Labour has set the precedent that they will reward strikes with bumper pay rises.”
JUNIOR doctors in the British Medical Association in September voted to accept Labour's pay offer in a bid to end 18 months of industrial action.
The deal is a combination of backdated and current pay rises, plus an added £1,000 across the board, and is worth an average 22 per cent.
It increases a junior doctor’s starting salary from £29,384 to £36,616.
Pay in the final years of training – usually reached after four or five years – will rise to £70,425, up from £58,398 under the previous contract – a £12,000 uplift.
It is salary increase of between 21 and 25 per cent spread across two years, with the exact amount dependent on an individual’s career stage.
They will receive between £7,000 and £12,000 more each year under the deal.
The BMA said it does not fully restore pay to what it would have been had they had increases in line with inflation every year since 2008. The union is expected to demand more money in the coming years.
MARRIED At First Sight bride Lacey Martin tonight broke down as she revealed her bullying hell over her twin sister “being prettier” than her.
It came just before the bride married her groom Nathan, and things got off to a bad start.
Tonight, as she prepared to get hitched, Lacey – who is a twin – opened up after her childhood trauma of never feeling as “pretty” as her sister Paige.
Speaking to the camera, her voice cracked as she bravely said: “Growing up I was bullied quite badly.”
Lacey went on: “This was because people always thought my twin was prettier than me.”
She went onto to say she always felt like the “ugly ducking”, but her strong bond with her twin sister helped her through it.
The new series of Married At First Sight continued tonight and saw Lacey walk down the aisle.
However, not all went according to plan, as her new groom Nathan first thought he was marrying her twin sister.
To make matters worse he then fumbled through his vows and said Lacey looked “nice”.
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed how Lacey and her sister Paige have already appeared on the small screen in another reality show.
They were filmed for an episode of Dress To Impress after her twin sister signed up to the show four years ago.
Paige – who together with Lacey describe themselves as “IVF miracle twins” – was dressed by three style conscious single guys in an attempt to find love.
In a throwback clip on TikTok, they can both be seen on the ITV2 show while wearing some very garish outfits.
Lacey wrote alongside the footage: “SERIES 2 EPISODE 25’ on ITV2. #family #dating #dresstoimpress #whodidipick #itv2 #twins #besties.”
Away from the TV screen, 27-year-old Lacey works as an office manager and she lives in Hertfordshire.
Before she went on MAFS, she described herself as confident, loud and sassy, while insisting that she would “brings the fun” to social situations.
Lacey said her “positive and vibrant attitude” has seen her
through ups and downs and has “shaped the person she is
today”.
Despite being a serial dater, the stunning brunette has been single for the past four years, following the end of a 10-year relationship.
After it was revealed she would be on the show, her sister Paige posted online: “Wooooo yassss my incredible amazing twin sister you deserve the world!
“You are my inspiration, I am sooooo proud of you goooooo Lacey gooooo Lacey gooooo Lacey goooo Lacey gooo Lacey!”
Speaking to Channel 4 before walking down the aisle, Lacey said she is very much in it for the long-term.
“I’d love to get a husband. I’m thinking long term so husband, babies, travel then move in together,” she said.
She also says she wants to “get rid of all the f*** boys in her life and find someone who will love her for her.
MAFS UK airs Monday to Thursday at 9pm on E4
Here's who you can expect in the Mafs 2024 cast:
THE Princess of Wales returned to work at Windsor Castle just days after revealing she had completed her chemotherapy.
Kate, 42, held her first official meeting in more than nine months hosting a chat with early years charity chiefs.
Last week the princess revealed she had completed her treatment and was set to appear at a handful of engagements before the end of the year.
The official Court Circular, which lists all royal engagements, will read today: “The Princess of Wales, Joint Patron, The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, this afternoon held an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle.”
There were no photos of the meeting but it is understood she was joined by members of her household team and representatives from the The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
Kate launched the centre in June 2021 to drive awareness of and action on the extraordinary impact of the early years, in order to transform society for the future.
She had been kept up to date with the early years scheme while having cancer treatment.
In May, sources close to Kate said she was “excited” after being well enough to be briefed on the findings of a taskforce she set up to help the under 5s.
She had read a 60-page report on her early years project and said to have been “kept up-to-date” with the work which is published today, it was understood.
The Windsor Castle bash is the first meeting that has been noted in the Court Circular since her health scare, the palace said.
It is actually her first meeting listed on the register since December 6.
She spent 13 nights in the London Clinic for planned abdominal surgery.
And later revealed in a video statement that she was being treated for cancer.
She made her public comeback appearing at Trooping the Colour celebrations in London in June.
Then wowed crowds as she took centre stage in the Royal Box to watch the men’s tennis finals at Wimbledon in July.
Kate has earmarked joining her family at Armistice Day in November where in previous years she has watched over the King and Prince William lay wreaths from the balcony of the Foreign Office building.
And is expected to have a role in her annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December.
During an emotional video last week, Kate described her “relief” at finishing cancer treatment and said: “Staying cancer free is now my focus”.
LATE, great Hollywood stars live on in their movies — but now they can keep WORKING on them too.
It has been revealed that Star Wars legend James Earl Jones, who voiced Darth Vader, signed a deal allowing Disney to use his distinctive tones in the sci-fi franchise after he died.
The American, who passed away aged 93 last week, agreed for artificial intelligence to recreate his vocals.
But he is not the only illustrious film star whose career will outlive them.
James Dean, Oliver Reed, Carrie Fisher and Christopher Reeve have all been recreated using computer-generated imagery.
However raising the dead has sparked controversy.
When the latest Alien movie Romulus was released last month, the digital reproduction of the late, British actor Sir Ian Holm outraged fans.
Ironically, the computer-generated reimagining of his android Ash was not considered real enough.
And last week it was revealed that film producer Kevin Francis, a friend of Peter Cushing, is suing Disney for using a digital likeness of the late actor in Star Wars prequel Rogue One, allegedly without the star’s permission.
The issue of replacing living actors with AI even led to a four-month strike last year by the US actors’ union Sag-Aftra.
The actors, writers and crews went back to work after agreeing a deal to limit the use of AI actors.
As part of new rules to be introduced in California, Hollywood production companies will need relatives’ permission to use a dead actor’s likeness.
Currently the law is a grey area and stars such as Samuel L Jackson are trying to prevent their image being tarnished in the future by ensuring contracts don’t allow their likeness to be used “in perpetuity”.
Here we look at the movie industry’s digital cloning wars.
EVEN though James Dean had major roles in just three movies, he is one of the most famous faces in Hollywood.
His film debut in East Of Eden propelled him to fame before a car crash claimed his life at the age of 24 in 1955.
His other two movies, Rebel Without A Cause and Giant, were released after his death.
Thanks to advances in AI, there are now attempts to expand his CV.
Dean will be in a new sci-fi movie titled Back To Eden.
Five years ago there were plans to put him in a movie called Finding Jack, but that was cancelled.
In the UK, an actor can only retain the copyright to their performance for 50 years after it was first shown, so for Dean that has long passed.
ACTION hero Paul Walker, 40, was in the middle of filming Fast & Furious 7 in 2013 when he died in an off-set, high-speed car crash.
His character Brian O’Conner had been in the blockbuster franchise from the start, so he couldn’t easily be written out.
It was decided that Paul’s brothers Caleb and Cody would play him in his final scenes, but AI would be used to imprint the late star’s face on them.
In this case the motion-capture technology served an important purpose and was supported by his family.
Director James Wan said: “Having them on set has made us all feel that Paul is with us too.”
THE huge technological leaps in AI acting were evident in the 2016 Star Wars movie Rogue One.
It featured Peter Cushing as the ice-cold baddie Grand Moff Tarkin, who he played in the sci-fi franchise’s initial outing in 1977.
The Hammer Horror legend died in 1994 aged 81, but the digital performance in Rogue One was so good you might have thought he had come back from the dead like a character from his Frankenstein days.
Last week one of Cushing’s old friends, film director Kevin Francis, announced he was suing Disney for using the actor’s likeness without his permission in Rogue One.
He claims to have had an agreement with Cushing, made in 1993, to control the use of his image.
Disney paid the actor’s estate about £28,000 for the AI appearance even though they felt his original contract gave them permission to use it.
SIR Ridley Scott’s Alien is one of the greatest sci-fis of all time and a key character is the android Ash, played by Sir Ian Holm.
He died four years ago aged 88 but this year’s Alien: Romulus includes a robot that looks like Ash but has the name Rook and a different voice.
Producers asked the actor’s widow, Sophie de Stempel, if they could reproduce Sir Ian’s likeness with AI.
Director Fede Alvarez said: “We did it all with a lot of respect and always with the authorisation of his family who said, ‘We would love to see his likeness again’.”
Some critics did not feel the same. In a review for Slate, an online magazine that covers US culture and current affairs, Sam Adams asks: “Why let the dead rest when there’s IP (intellectual property) to be mined?”
And Chris Evangelista, editor of the SlashFilm website, said Rook was off-putting.
He wrote: “The recreated Holm never looks convincing. Every time the film focuses on him, it’s distracting and weird.”
FEW films could be as appropriately titled as this Ghostbusters 2021 reboot because it brought Harold Ramis back from the dead.
Best known as the genius Egon Spengler in the original 1984 film and its 1989 sequel.
The actor had a rare blood disease and passed away in 2014 aged 69.
It took a huge team and various tricks to include Spengler in Afterlife.
Archive footage was scanned by a team at a firm called Character Lab and then digitally reworked to fit a stand-in actor who had been on set.
Original director Ivan Reitman also stood in as Spengler at times, wearing his Ghostbusting suit.
STAR Wars fans were gobsmacked when Carrie Fisher returned to the big screen three years after she suffered a fatal heart attack in 2016.
But for her to appear in The Rise Of Skywalker, the script had to be rewritten around the audio recordings they already had and used digital wizardry for her image.
Roger Guyett, visual effects supervisor on the film, told Syfy Wire: “When you see Carrie in Episode IX, it’s a live-action face with a digital hair, head and body.
Before her death, Carrie also appeared in 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story but didn’t perform in a single scene.
The actress gave her blessing for her likeness to be superimposed on the face of another actress, Ingvild Deila, who was wearing motion capture dots.
She was said to be very impressed with the outcome.
DURING the making of Gladiator, legendary hellraiser Oliver Reed had kept a promise not to get drunk – until he was tempted into a drinking contest near the end of the shoot in Valletta, the capital of Malta.
The British star is said to have downed eight pints, half a bottle of whisky plus shots of rum before arm-wrestling five sailors and collapsing with a heart attack in May 1999.
His death at the age of 61, left the film’s director Sir Ridley Scott with incomplete scenes featuring Oliver’s character Proximo, the tough, no-nonsense Gladiator trainer.
Using technology well ahead of its time, old footage of Oliver was added digitally to the face of a stand-in actor.
Without the benefit of modern AI it took much longer and cost a reported £2 million.
IN the past few years there has been a trend in Hollywood for “multiverse” movies, where multiple versions of the same character appear from different universes.
For last year’s critically panned action sci-fi The Flash, DC Comics decided to throw Christopher Reeve’s Superman into the mix.
To be fair, the cameo is so brief he appears and disappears almost at the speed of light.
But superhero fans were not pleased that the American actor, who died from heart failure in 2004 aged 52, was added in using AI.
Especially, as his children, Will, Matthew and Alexandra Reeve said they were not consulted.
A “FIT and healthy” man who died from a blood clot was given the wrong Covid jab due to a hospital error, a new report has revealed.
Jack Last, 27, an engineer from Stowmarket, Suffolk was given the controversial Oxford AstraZeneca jab after hospital records incorrectly listed him as living at home with his ‘at risk’ parents.
The engineer had complained of headaches after getting the Covid jab on March 30, 2021.
He died three weeks later on April 20, from a blood clot on the brain.
Jack first started feeling ill on April 5 and he contacted 111 on April 9.
The young engineer was later told by a clinical adviser to visit West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds.
A CT scan was performed on Jack by an out-of-hours service outsourced to a separate company.
The radiologist reported on the CT scan that there were no acute abnormalities in his brain.
This was later found to be inaccurate.
The report also found that his death was the consequence of “system shortcomings, human error, and tragic unfortunate timing”.
The report said: “It would also have been advisable to send Jack straight away to another hospital or centre that could provide the CT venogram he needed, rather than waiting until the next day.”
A CT venogram was performed the following day and demonstrated a blood clot, delaying treatment by 15 hours.
The report concluded while this delay was unlikely to have changed the outcome for Mr Last, it was still a missed opportunity.
When his condition deteriorated, he was transferred to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.
Just a week after Jack got the jab government health advisers urged people under 30 to seek an alternative vaccination due to an increased risk of fatal brain blood clots.
A new report released by Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board found that Jack was only given the jab as he was wrongly identified as living with his parents despite moving into his own home in 2018.
His medical record had the same landline number as his parents despite updating his contact details.
His parents met the criteria for an at-risk age group.
It was also found that Jack was contacted at the time due to a previous mention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on one of his parents’ GP records.
A family statement said it was “heartbreaking” to learn of the errors which led to him being invited to receive the vaccination early.
One day before Mr Last received his text on March 20, it was agreed to expand the criteria of those eligible for the vaccine to those living with cohort 6 eligible patients.
Searches were carried out by matching individuals to landline numbers and Jack was invited because he was listed as “co-habiting” with his parents.
Medical Director of the Suffolk and North East Essex ICB, Dr Andrew Kelso, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of Jack and have been throughout this very tragic case.
“On behalf of all system partners, we are truly sorry for what has happened and for the loss, heartbreak and distress they must be experiencing.
“Due to the seriousness of what happened, we immediately commissioned an independent review to fully understand what led to this tragedy and to identify learning.
“We also wanted to give the family all the answers to their questions.
“This independent review allowed the system to look at the incident from beginning to end, without the restrictions of organisational boundaries and without prejudice.”
An inquest into Jack’s death in 2022 ruled that he had died as a “direct result” of the vaccination.
