Here's something I never thought I would say: I feel sorry for Katie Price. The former glamour model was arrested at Heathrow airport last week as she returned to the UK from Turkey, having just undergone her sixth facelift. Something about her beaten-up, heavily bandaged face, the plumped-up lips and bird-like frame with its two uncomfortable-looking, balloon-like breasts just seemed so utterly tragic, so sad. She was, as she always does, putting on a brave front. But she's clearly a broken soul. I realise this may not be a popular opinion. Many people, if they care at all about her, take the view that her downfall - her two bankruptcies, the first in 2019 and again this March (this arrest comes after she failed to attend a hearing relating to her £760,000 HMRC debt) are her own fault, the result of disorganisation, greed, moral degeneracy and general profligacy.

Hamas's leaders are 'walking dead', promised Israel's defence minister Yoav Gallant after the October 7 atrocities: 'They are living on borrowed time.' The Israelis are making good on their word. Eleven days ago, the lethal efficiency of Israel's targeted assassinations was once more demonstrated to the world when the political head of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, was blown up in a guesthouse in Tehran. The Israelis have not claimed responsibility, and nor have they denied it. But everyone knows it was them. It was an extraordinary coup: the killing of one of Israel's foremost adversaries in the very heart of enemy territory. And this is the real kicker - it was on the day of the new Iranian president's inauguration. A tactical triumph for Israel. Rank humiliation for Iran.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent efforts have concentrated on the launch of a new campaign aimed at tackling harm caused to children online. But as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - who are based in California - focus on their latest good cause, called The Parents' Network, what's happening to the other projects they've launched with great fanfare - including Meghan's lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard? After an artfully filmed video for social media was released in March to reveal the Duchess' plans, celeb pals of the former actress' were sent beautifully branded jars of jam and dog biscuits. But little more has been officially revealed about the brand, with no Instagram posts on the firm's official account since March and the website simply offering fans the chance to join a waitlist.

This is the hilarious moment a pilot channelled his 'inner headteacher' as he told off badly-behaved passengers on a family flight to Tenerife.
