A TOURIST attraction right on the beach that was forced to close last year has been bought by a trendy bar chain.
Brighton’s i360 first opened back in 2016, although ran into a number of financial problems along the way.

This includes trendy bars such as Tonight Josephine, Blame Gloria and The Cocktail Club.
Nightcap is owned by Former Dragon’s Den star Sarah Willingham who is a Brighton local.
She said in a social media post that they “couldn’t be happier” with plans to reopen it.
She added: “We look forward to working with them to make the West Pier part of Brighton a thriving hub for residents and visitors alike.
“We pass the i360 every day and were as disappointed as everyone else when it went into administration and no buyer was found.
“We hope we will get the support of our tight knit local community as we embark on this new chapter for the i360.”
While it hasn’t been confirmed what it will reopen as, many of the venues as part of Nightcap are some of the most unique in the UK.
For example, Tonight Josephine calls itself a “sassy cocktail bar” with neon lights and mirrors.
And Blame Gloria is said to be inspired by “an opulent nana with a groupie past”.
Even with the more standard bars of the group such as Piano Works, it is likely to mean that the tower will be turned into some form of entertainment venue.
It isn’t clear on when it will be able to reopen.
The tower, initially called the British Airways i360, cost £46million to build.
The 531ft observation tower – created by the team behind London Eye – became the Brighton i360 when the BA deal ended.
However, despite hopes for as many as 739,000 tourists a year, it failed to hit these numbers.

Brighton and Hove City Council have since wrote off the huge £51million debt last month to allow sales to go forward.
The buyout has also been backed by local MPs, including Peter Kyle, MP for Hove and Portslade.
He said: “Looking to the future I now see a fantastic seafront in our city.
“It is book-ended by the amazing Sea Lanes in Kemptown and the new Hove Beach Park and now at its centre will be this.”

Never one to miss an opportunity to show off his survivor skills, Bear arrived to the launch of new show by abseiling down London’s Odeon West End cinema in Leicester Square.
Strapped into a harness he was seen hovering above the crowd, before landing and receiving a huge applause.
As soon as he was back on land, Bear headed straight over to wife Shara, as she supported him on his latest Netflix show.
The couple – who share sons Jesse, 21, Marmaduke, 18, and Huckleberry, 15 – have been married for 25 years.
They looked just as smitten with each other as the day they met, as they posed for photos at the premiere.
The programme – which arrived on Netflix today – sees 12 celebrities dropped into the Costa Rican jungle, where they must fend for themselves against extreme conditions.
Along with the adventurer, the show is presented by former This Morning host Holly Willoughby.
The stars will also be trying to escape survival expert Bear who will be hunting them through the jungle.
Speaking today about working with the TV star, he told Good Morning Britain: “Holly has a beautiful spirit, she really does.
“She’s overcome many tough things in her life.
“Everybody on this show, myself, the cast and Holly all of us are out of our comfort zone.
“It’s a full on committee experience.
PABear praised his Celebrity Bear Hunt co-host Holly Willoughby[/caption]
“The jungle challenges us and builds us up. I came away at the end thinking what a remarkable lady, humble, brave, often talks herself down.”
He added she has a “streak of steel and a heart of gold”.
PROUD PARENTS
Meanwhile, it’s been an exciting and emotional week for Bear and his wife Shara.
This week they returned from Australia after they waved their son Marmaduke off on his latest adventure.
Proud papa Bear shared that his son is travelling the world.
He also revealed how Marmaduke had worked hard to fund the tip by himself.
Rather than asking his famous father for the cash, he took a job in a butcher’s shop to pay for his travels.
His mum and dad flew out to Australia to visit him before he headed off to his next exotic location.
Sharing the moment on Instagram, Bear posted a slew of pictures of himself and Marmaduke with wife Shara.
In the sweet snaps the TV star’s son can be seen towering over his dad.
The proud father then wrote next to the snaps: “So sad but also happy for Marmaduke – saying goodbye to him here in Australia as he heads to Asia for 4 months.
“He’s worked hard in a butchers in London, earned his way and is now going off for his own adventure… have fun, stay safe, come home soon. We miss you…”
All eight episodes of Celebrity Bear Hunt can be watched on Netflix right now

AFTER a painful break up, one woman didn’t think her day could get any worse.
However, when she sought her mum out for comfort she couldn’t believe what she found.

In her post, the unnamed Reddit user recounted the events that led up to the end of her relationship.
The 26-year-old explained that she had been dating her boyfriend, 30, for seven months.
She decided to take him along on a family reunion to introduce him to everyone.
According to the original poster, her boyfriend had met her 47-year-old mother once before.
She explained that they had attended a dinner with her younger brother and sister.
The Reddit user added that her parents had divorced “several years ago” and that her mum was now with her partner of almost two years.
She revealed that her mother is “fit and attractive” and is only 21 years older than her.
“[My] mother and I have some boundaries already about dating,” she wrote.
“I like guys older than me and she likes guys younger than her.”
While the dinner went smoothly, the poster described how her boyfriend had “been distant” during the reunion trip.
“He found literally anything else to do than have a connection with me all weekend,” she recalled.
“Before the big meal on Saturday, he told me he didn’t find me very attractive.
According to her, he told her that she was “too tall” and “not fit enough.”
“We had a talk and it turned into an argument and [he] stormed out,” she explained.
“I cried a lot and finally composed myself to go talk with my mum like girls do in a break up.”
Four red flags your partner is cheating
Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it’s normal to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
Aaron says: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful.”
“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
“If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.”
“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out,” says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner’s libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
“To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating,” warns Aaron.
However, when the Redditor entered the RV her mum was staying in she couldn’t believe her eyes.
“I see them both sprawled out on the bed, breathing heavy and freshly orgasmed,” she said.
She recalled how she “said nothing” and “just walked over and slapped my mother across the face and walked back out.”
Looking back, the poster tried to member if there was ever “weird vibes or stolen glances” between the pair.
She joked that she didn’t expect “this kind of congregation” at her family gathering.
Reddit users shared their thoughts on the situation in the comments section.
“I would do her boyfriend and then cut her off,” suggested one reader.
“Tell everyone! Name and shame. Good riddance,” wrote another commenter.
“Your mom and boyfriend are pieces of s**t. You’re better off walking away from both of them,” pointed out a third person.
“Sounds like you’re a strong woman and have your head on straight, you’ll pull through this just like everything else in life.”

The mum-of-two, 34, also warned mums against a ‘rubbish’ Amazon buy that parents shouldn’t ‘waste’ their money onInstagramShe and her husband Jamie were left in hysterics with their DIY photoshootInstagram
The influencer, 34, used a cheap Amazon buy for the backdrop of her at-home photoshoot, but later warned mums not to waste their cash on the ‘rubbish’ £11 product.
The blonde beauty took to her Instagram stories to share moments before the photoshoot, with the pictures taken by her husband Jamie, 46, a sales manager from Essex.
Revealing all to her 4.8 million loyal followers, the cleaning fanatic shared a close-up look at her recent online purchase and explained: “The rubbish I buy on Amazon sometimes.
“I want to get a couple of pictures of bump before I drop but I’m not feeling a photoshoot at the minute, I’m just not.
“So I bought a little backdrop thing, it came with these clamps. Anyway, I’ll let you know how I get on with this backdrop.”
Moments later, the star, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, gave her followers a close-up look at the backdrop, as she said: “We’ve put it up in the bedroom, we attached it to the bed frame.
“You never know, it could be the last baby, might not be the last baby, but I just wanted to get some bump pictures.”
But although the backdrop looked great, Sophie claimed: “This is actually just a bedsheet so I wouldn’t waste your money.
“It wasn’t a lot to be fair, it was about £11.
“Jamie’s going to take them on my phone and we’ll see how we go.
“I should’ve steamed it. The hilarious thing is, it is what it is.”
But the couple were left in hysterics with their DIY set-up, as Sophie admitted: “The Amazon backdrop sheet is cracking me up!
“Can I just say don’t waste your money on this ‘backdrop sheet’. Just use a white bed sheet or shower curtain.”
Sophie then shared a look at her phone’s camera roll – and posted her favourite two pictures on her social media feed.

“If you’ve watched my story today guys you’ll know why me and Jamie have only just stopped laughing!
“An Amazon “backdrop sheet” and a camera roll of fails later, we did manage to capture these and we definitely have memories behind these pictures that’s for sure

Sophie’s grief battle

On May 8, 2024, Sophie revealed her beloved dad had passed away “suddenly, yet peacefully.
Her father actually died on April 25, 2024, but his grieving daughter waited until she was ready to share the sad news with her fans.
In April 2023, Sophie revealed how she was taking a break social media after her dad ended up in hospital.
She said at the time: “My dad is in hospital at the moment guys. My dad has never been blessed shall we say with fantastic health – from his chest, his lungs, his heart.
“He’s always struggled you know.”
She heartbreakingly added: “I just want him to be happy.”
She explained: “I feel an extreme mix of emotions and not too much makes sense right now.
”It’s like I’ve entered this new part of my world, where only grief sits, and it feels heavy; something I can’t describe unless you’ve been there.
”For now, I’m really trying to navigate this new life without one of the people I love the most; one of my biggest support systems.
”I feel like my Dad taught me everything I know; except how to live without him.”

The grieving mum also took the time to thank her fans for their support during this difficult time for both her and her loved ones.
She continued: “I wanted to come on here and say thank you so much for all the overwhelming amount of love and support.
”I may not be able to get back to you all right now, but I see you and I am so grateful.
”Thank you for being so patient with me while I try to find my feet again alongside my family, who I am SO incredibly proud of and who I love with my whole heart.
”I’m really hoping to find my feet again one day, my family is my everything.”
