Olly’s grandfather last saw his mother when he was just 12 as Nazi Germany took over and she was sent to a labour camp[/caption]

During the episode viewers watched as Olly attempted to trace his great grandparents.

He learned that they hailed from Latvia and were circus performers.

However, Olly’s discovery took a dark turn when he travelled to the Salamonska Circus building in Riga to trace his great grandmother Veronika Jankovska.

During his visit he was told how his great grandfather had cheated on his current partner with Veronika.

After they had a child, Veronika – who was 22 at the time – struggled to raise her son Eduards Jr and handed him over to her parents so she could work at the circus.

But when Nazi Germany took over the country, Eduards Jr was forced to flee as as refugee to Germany with his father and his partner.

In tragic scenes Olly discovered that Veronika was imprisoned in a labour camp for eight years.

Despite searching for her son after her release, she was heartbreakingly never reunited with him.

Veronika died in 1988 with no family by her side and was buried in an unmarked grave.

Upsetting scenes showed dad-of-one Murs visit her plot, paying respects to Veronika.

Reflecting on the upsetting story, Olly said: “WWII had a real impact on my family. I think Veronica made a very bold decision that day, leaving her son and knowing that she might never see him again.”

He added: “I wish my grandad could have understood his mum’s decisions.”

Who Do You Think You Are viewers at home were left distraught by the scenes, with some left in tears.

Taking to social media, one said: “Just cried at #WhoDoYouThinkYouAre. That episode was brilliant but so so sad. That poor mother and son @ollymurs.”

A second wrote: “Such an emotional episode of Who Do You Think You Are this evening with Olly Murs. The story of his great grandmother’s hardships and search for her son were so sad. So glad Olly and his family have her story now.”

“Olly im CRYING. I know your grandad will be with his mam up in heaven right now. They may have not found each other here, but I know they’re together up there now, looking down on you all, especially you and Amelia and little Madi, and they’re so proud,” said a third.

While a fourth commented: “One glass of red wine (large) and I’m crying about olly murs on who do you think you are.”

Grace posed for a string of stunning snaps on the red carpet and left little to the imagination as she flashed her bum at the camera.

The blonde beauty carried a matching pink sequin handbag and put her toned abs on display in a white crop top.

Grace flashed a big smile as she arrived at the venue with her pals for the big bash.

She has every to be happy after recently bagging a huge six-figure fashion deal – despite not making it to the final.

Last month, The Sun revealed how Grace had signed a whopping contract with fashion and shoe brand EGO after being inundated with offers following her stint in the villa.

A rep for Grace told The Sun: “We are so excited to announce after multiple offers Grace has signed a deal with EGO worth six figures.

“Grace has always loved EGO and the creative ideas really align with her style and personality.

“No other islander has done anything like this for a first brand deal and we know it’s going to be a huge moment for Grace.”

A spokesperson for EGO added: “We’re thrilled to have Grace on board, we knew from the beginning she was the girl for us.

“She’s bold, not afraid to push boundaries and her sense of style is exceptionally EGO.

“The alignment makes complete sense.

“It’s a very exciting time for the brand, we’ve seen unprecedented growth over the past year.

“Grace has tons to give, as do we. We’re ready to get started!”

Grace, who is represented by M Models Management, was previously tipped to be the next Molly-Mae after landing a series of meetings, including one with Pretty Little Thing.

We previously exclusively told how Grace was set to become the first millionaire of the series as the “new Molly-Mae” was inundated with offers.

The model has been inundated with offers of work and has already had a big meeting with online retail giant PrettyLittleThing.

Previously, a source told us: “Grace has turned down work in the past if it hasn’t felt right though so she’s really picking carefully, making sure she gets the deals that really fit in and align with her.

“She’s on course to be a millionaire already and a lot of brands are calling her the next Molly-Mae.”

The exciting news comes just days after Grace called it quits with Reuben Collins.

The couple struggled to make it work thanks to their different locations and busy schedules.

A source said: “Grace and Reuben have come to the mutual decision a romantic relationship isn’t right for either of them at this time.

“Grace wishes Reuben all the best and vice versa. They will remain friends and have no bad feelings towards each other.”

A WOMAN has admitted killing baby girl after she smashed into her while she was in a pram.

Bridget Curtis has been charged over her death[/caption]

The eight-month-old was airlifted to Bristol Children’s Hospital but tragically couldn’t be saved and died four days later.

Bridget Curtis, 70, appeared at Swansea Crown Court today.

She pleaded guilty to a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.

The horror unfolded at around 11.50am on June 21 after a BMW crashed into Mabli and another pedestrian.

The baby, who was in her pram at the time of the horror, tragically passed away on June 25.

A cause of death was previously given as severe traumatic brain injuries.

Curtis was treated in hospital for serious but non-life threatening injuries along with a passenger in the car.

A second pedestrian struck by the BMW was also taken to hospital but later discharged.

Following her death, Mabli’s parents, Rob and Gwen Hall released a heartbreaking tribute.

They said: “We are absolutely heartbroken by the death of our beautiful baby girl, Mabli.

“She was adored by us and her five siblings, and brought us so much joy in her short life.

“We will always remember Mabli’s beautiful little smile and cherish the time we had with her.

“We would like to thank everyone who tried to help us at such a tragic time; the people who were there when it happened, the emergency services who came to our aid and the amazing staff at Withybush, the Heath in Cardiff and Bristol Children’s Hospital.

“Their strength and support allowed us to focus on Mabli.”

AN Autumn break can be a good choice for holidaymakers looking to chase the sun, with many destinations offering warmer weather, fewer crowds, and cheaper prices. 

One city has been found to offer the best bargain holiday deal for this time of year, and that’s Marrakech.

The fourth largest city in Morrocco has become increasingly popular with tourists over the years. 

And it’s now been crowned Most Budget Friendly Autumn Getaway 2024 by DiscoverCars.com.

In the car rental company’s latest report cities were scored on a number of factors: 

• average cost of a week-long hotel stay

• average cost of car rental for a week

• number of affordable restaurants

• number of budget hotels

• average rainfall in millimetres

• average temperature in September, October and November

• average daylight hours during these months. 

Marrakech scored best for average rainfall, with just 25mm during September, October and November. 

It also came up top for the longest daylight hours, with an average of nine hours during Autumn. 

While the average flight cost to Marrakech Airport is on the pricier side (£253), the average cost of a week-long hotel stay was just £168. 

Its average temperature was one of the highest at 19C. 

Here are some of the cheapest things you can get up to in the city. 

Visit Bahia Palace for its stunning Moroccan architecture 

Nestled in the heart of Marrakech is Bahia Palace – a 19th century building decorated with stunning paintings and mosaics. 

The palace was set up by Si Moussa, grand vizir of the sultan, for his personal use, and named after one of his wives. 

Its gardens are particularly popular, with orange and banana trees, cypress trees, hibiscus plants and jasmine shading the walkways. 

Entry to the palace is free. 

Grab a cheap bite to eat at Jemaa el-Fnaa

Jemaa el-Fnaa is the main square and market place in Marrakech’s medina quarter. 

There are plenty of restaurants dotted around the square serving local delicacies like tagine, brochettes (skewered kebabs), fried fish and couscous.  

Prices are very cheap – you can have a hearty meal for just £9-13.

Explore the iconic El Badi Palace 

El Badi Palace is a ruined palace commissioned by the sultan Ahmad al-Mansur of the Saadian dynasty a few months after his accession in 1578.

As well as places to eat, Jemaa el-Fnaa has lots of markets where you can pick up a bargain[/caption]

The palace features intricate mosaics, marble columns, gold-topped ceilings, and onyx, and its rooftop terrace offers views of the skyline, Atlas Mountains, and resident storks. 

Entry for adults is 100 MAD (£7.75), and for children 30 MAD (£3.02).

A 17-year-old was shot in the leg on Thursday at a playground across the street from Ralph R. McKee Career and Technical Education High School on Staten Island. Two guns were recovered Thursday inside Flushing High School in Queens. An imitation gun was removed from a student in the Bronx.

He says they're not really work trips because they're in fun places.

CELEBRITIES are taking the plunge when it comes to their necklines and some are even using their v-necks as a nod to their love lives.

Less fabric on top is definitely more for the likes of Helen Flanagan and Khloe Kardashian and experts say the trend has become an intentional and empowering move.

Body language pro Judi James says having cleavage on show is no longer about ‘pea-cocking’ – a way of attracting the opposite sex – but it’s now a case of ‘I choose to,’ rather than ‘I have to’ for strong and independent women.

Judi explains: “Cleavages used to be seen as a form of sexual advertising or flirtation that purely pandered to men. 

“All that balcony bra-uplifting and compressing was primarily seen as a form of pea-cocking to attract a mate.

“As a symbol of projected strength the breast speaks for itself.

Judi JamesBody language pro

“But this new trend of plunging necklines and flashing sides looks much more like a signal of power and independence from women who do it because they want to and no longer need to in terms of getting attention, male approval or even jobs. 

“It’s also often a statement made by women who are single or in on-off relationships that are sometimes single-sex.

“This can really show off your body confidence and make a bold statement, whether you’re challenging norms or just expressing yourself, both with others and within yourself.”

“And like any good red carpet look it can also be a competitive gesture.”

Judi says it’s on the red carpet where women usually vie to wear the deepest plunge, like singer Lady Gaga and actress Julianne Moore, who wore gowns with a plunging neck line, at the Venice Film Festival this year.

Judi adds: “‘Who dares wins’ is currently the mantra in the celebrity world, where women vie to wear the deepest plunge (Sometimes right down to the lower pelvis) or show off everything apart from the actual nipples.

“As a symbol of projected strength the breast speaks for itself.

“Puffed up and splayed chests are linked with superior power and alpha status so this female version can project a similar sense of status superiority.”

From chaotic but cute to fierce and confident, Judi takes the plunge and reveals the ‘V’ nice secret messages celebs are sending out in their snaps…

Helen Flanagan

Chaotic but cute 

Goff

The actress, 33, has revealed her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot has stepped into the stepfather role with her three children – Matilda, Delilah and Charlie.

The former Coronation Street star, who shares her kids with ex Scott Sinclair, left fans gobsmacked last week when she disclosed that she’d been secretly dating despite her stint on E4‘s Celebs Go Dating.

Judi says: “Helen seems keen to use her cleavage displays to impress the message on the world that she is now all grown up and doing things on her own terms despite what can often be seen as a chaotic love life. 

It’s a statement pose and suggests she’s ready to take on the world

Judi James

“Her head tilt shows a desire to be liked and to gain approval but the emphatic cleavage looks like a gesture of choice to register some more steely sense of life objectives behind the cuteness.”

Christine McGuiness

Careful but strong statement

Christine and her ex-husband Paddy McGuiness announced they would be divorcing after 11 years of marriage in 2022. 

Since then, the reality star, 36, has been regularly uploading sexy pictures to her Instagram and isn’t afraid to show off her curves. 

Judi says: “This is breast plate-power from Christine, who has her boobs carefully and impressively encased in a structured, metallic-looking top. 

“Amazonian warrior women were always said to bare their breasts as a sign of being battle-fit and Christine’s elegant, statement pose here suggests she’s ready to take on the world now since her split with Paddy.”

Sofia Vegara

Fierce and confident

The Hollywood actress split from her husband Joe Manganiello earlier this year and the pair were proud to announce that it was an amicable one.

The 52-year-old revealed that her marriage broke up because her “husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mum. 

But her fashion sense proves that it hasn’t stopped her from feeling empowered. 

It’s a show-stopping display of confidence with an ironic twist in terms of Hollywood imagery

Judi James

Judi says: “Sofia might have hit our screens as a woman with one of the most impressive cleavages on TV but now she’s shown her Emmy and Golden Globe nominated acting chops – and established herself as a businesswoman – she could clearly keep her assets under wraps for the rest of her working life if she wanted. 

“But here she chooses to display a deep cleavage in what looks like a statement of pride, informing us she is in control and doing things on her own terms now.

“This wide display of breast looks like the ultimate power move by a fiercely confident successful woman coming out of a marriage split.”

Khloe Kardashian

Independent and determined

Khloe is suggesting independence and a determination with her dress choice[/caption]

She is one of the most prominent members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, which means her personal life has been well documented. 

The reality star, 39, has had a roller coaster of a ride with her love life including with her former partner NBA star Tristan Thompson, who is the father of her two children. 

Now that she is single, Khloe shows no remorse – especially in the figure-hugging black dress. 

Judi says: “One glance at Khloe’s wide, squared shoulders, her raised chin plus hard stare to the camera and that gleaming, self-supporting cleavage shows Khloe is baring to look daring rather than sweetly man-pleasing. 

Amazonian warrior women were always said to bare their breasts as a sign of being battle-fit

Judi James

“This body language suggests independence and a determination to live life on her own terms now and date who she pleases, regardless of controversy. 

“Khloe has now hit 40 and, with her ex Tristan still in her life, this is a pose that suggests ‘I got this’ in terms of resilience and inner confidence.”

Denise Van Outen

Confident but ironic

Known for her vibrant personality and impressive career, Denise is clearly having fun whilst she lives the life as a single woman. 

The 49-year-old was previously married to actor Lee Mead, with whom they share their daughter Betsy together, before they split in 2013.

From July 2014 she was in a relationship with commodities trader Eddie Boxshall; they lived together in Chelmsford, but that ended in January 2022.

Now Denise, who reportedly joined celebrity dating app Raya earlier this year, is clearly taking the plunge with her fashion and proving that she is empowered.

Judi says: “Bared to the waistline, Denise’s boobs hang naturally with an impressive cleavage that doesn’t look pushed inward or upward to get any unnatural effect. 

“This looks like an ‘On my terms’ body language statement despite the nod to the heaving-bosom glamour of the 50’s. 

“It’s a show-stopping display of confidence with an ironic twist in terms of Hollywood imagery, showing her ex or any other guys watching that she is un-dented and oozing body confidence post-split.”

JAMES Middleton has opened up about how Prince William has changed his sister Kate Middleton over the years.

Princess Kate’s younger brother has lifted the lid on his personal life in his upcoming book, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, which is out on September 26.

James spoke of how he knew William was right for Kate[/caption]

In an excerpt on the Daily Mail, James spoke of how he considers Prince William to be an “older brother” and the strong bond the royal has with the Middleton family.

He also spoke about William’s impact on Kate, saying: “I thought how lucky William was to be marrying my capable, down-to-earth big sister, and I felt absolutely reassured that they were in love.

“It was beautiful to see how he brought out her confidence. She’d blossomed. I knew he’d look after her, and he does to this day.”

Prince William certainly appears to have gained James’ approval over the years – and he spoke of how he knew they were right for each other ahead of their 2011 royal wedding.

In his book, he added: “William has been in our lives for so long and we’ve grown very fond of him. He feels like our older brother and he and Catherine are so clearly a good fit, just right for each other.”

Royal biographer Claudia Joseph said that Prince William and James – who is married to French finance worker Alizée Thevenet and dad to son Inigo – are extremely close.

It was beautiful to see how he [Prince William] brought out her [Kate’s] confidence. She’d blossomed. I knew he’d look after her, and he does to this day

James Middleton

She said to Fabulous: “James obviously adores his brother-in-law. 

“In his autobiography, he describes him as the ‘older brother’ he never had and says he was ‘reassured that they were in love’.”

Brought together

She claims William and James particularly bonded over their love of dogs.

Claudia continued: “As a child William had a black labrador called Widgeon and when he died, there was a hole in William’s heart. 

“That hole was fixed when Ella had a puppy Lupo, who became an important member of the Cambridge family.”

Brothers’ bond

The royal expert shared how the close bond between Prince William and his businessman brother-in-law James is particularly poignant given how tense things currently are with Prince Harry.

She added: “I imagine that William finds it a huge solace that he is so close to the Middleton family as his relationship with his own brother Harry has become so fractured.

“From the moment that he began dating Kate at St Andrews University, he fell in love with her close family, something he tragically lost with the divorce of his own parents and the death of his mother. 

“He has even jokingly called Michael Middleton ‘Dad’ and definitely enjoys their close relationship.”

EMILY Atack shared a rare photo with her baby boy Barney as she glammed up for a Disney premiere.

Earlier this week Emily, 34, walked the pink carpet for her new Disney+ show Rivals.

The actress stunned in a black mini dress and sheer tights just three months after giving birth for the first time.

Former The Inbetweeners star Emily later took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of her holding Barney while in the make-up chair ahead of the premiere.

Proving she’s a natural at juggling mum life with her busy job, Emily was seen holding her son while having her hair done.

She shares with Barney with her scientist boyfriend Dr Alistair Garner.

The couple were first spotted in September last year and moved in together ahead of Barney’s birth.

Emily stars as Sarah Stratton in Rivals, an adaptation of the Jilly Cooper novel of the same name.

Sarah has an affair with Rupert Campbell-Black, who is played by Hollywood actor Alex Hassell, best known for his roles in George Clooney’s Suburbicon in 2017 and BBC fantasy series His Dark Materials.

The Sun previously revealed that Emily will strip off for a famous scene from the book during which Sarah gets naked during a game of tennis.

Also in the cast are Danny Dyer and David Tennent, who play Freddie Jones and Lord Tony Baddingham.

In a synopsis to preview the series, Disney wrote: “The story is set against the backdrop of the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England.

“In the fictional county of Rutshire, a long-standing rivalry between two powerful men is about to boil over.

“Alex Hassell plays dashing ex-Olympian, Tory Member of Parliament and incorrigible rake, the dangerously charismatic Rupert Campbell-Black.

“David Tennant plays Rupert’s single-mindedly ambitious and egotistical Rutshire neighbour Lord Tony Baddingham, controller of Corinium Television.”
