No parent can stand even the THOUGHT of something happening to their child, let alone go through the trauma of it. It is a fear that lingers in the back of their minds, a nightmare they pray never becomes a reality. However, for Two and a Half Men actress, Jenny McCarthy, the horror almost made […]

LAST night in the new Stacey & Joe reality series, there was a shocking moment teased for the next episode that will air next week.
Joe Swash could be heard fuming as he aid “I’m done” and put the phone down on his wife Stacey Solomon.
The couple already butted heads in the first episode of their all-new reality show on BBC One, with them now set to butt heads again in the next instalment.
“I said I don’t want to have this discussion with you no more,” Joe could be heard saying as Stacey Facetimed her husband while laying on her bed.
“I clean it up,” Stacey replied, sounding defeated.
“I have a completely different view to this matter. No I don’t like it. I don’t like your opinion on it,” Joe replied, sounding angry.
“My opinion of it is just the reality of it,” Stacey snapped back.
Joe then said: “You keep your opinion and I’ll keep my opinion.”
The former EastEnders star then fumed: “I’ll speak to you later. I’m done.
“I’m done with this conversation.”
Joe hung up the phone and left Stacey looking rather annoyed as she lay on her bed.
Elsewhere in the teaser clip for the next episode, Stacey was seen getting annoyed at Joe when he put bleach in the washing machine.
The stunning former X Factor star asked her husband why there was “so much soap” in the machine.
Joe then explained that he had put some bleach inside to clean his white t-shirts.
This comes after the pair were left bickering with one another as things took a turn during their anniversary dinner.
The married couple suffered an awkward clash in front of their children and Stacey’s father and grandmother as they attempted to celebrate their anniversary.
Stacey had decorated an outdoor table to host their family for the celebration but she was soon left bickering with her husband after asking him if he wanted a “domestic”.
The row kicked off when Stacey’s dad made a comment about Joe not joining him on an upcoming fishing trip.
He made a comment about Joe missing out on the fun before adding: “Sorry, I’m not supposed to mention that.”
“I just do as I’m told, Dave,” Joe quipped back, suggesting that his wife tells him what to do.
“When did I say you can’t go to France?” Stacey asked her husband.
As Joe admitted she didn’t say that, an irate Stacey said: “So stop pretending I said that!
“Do you want to have a domestic on our anniversary?” she asked.
Reacting to the new series on social media, viewers were seemingly divided.
“Stacey Solomon is a better person than me. I’d have lost my mind about 50 times at Joe by now,” penned one person amid the couple’s bickering
“Watching this show feeling increasingly annoyed on Stacey’s behalf more than anything else,” said another.
While a third fumed over how they thought Joe was “frustrating” because he kept “forgetting” things.
The next episode of Stacey & Joe will air next Tuesday on BBC One at 8pm.
ISRAEL has launched a massive new military operation to seize parts of Gaza and is beginning large-scale evacuations of civilians.
But Benjamin Netanyahu has been urged that he must free the remaining 59 hostages before crushing terror group Hamas.
Fresh fighting will soon be underway as Tel Aviv sends its soldiers to expand the zones it controls inside Gaza by seizing a “large” amount of land.
The IDF has been tasked to “destroy and clear the area of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure”.
Netanyahu has insisted military pressure was the best way to get back the remaining hostages as he repeated calls for Hamas to disarm.
Israel restarted its Gaza bombing campaign on March 18 and has blocked aid getting into the strip after the end of the first round of ceasefire hostage exchanges.
Israel must prioritise getting the hostages home before eliminating with Hamas, one former ambassador has warned.
Ex-diplomat Daniel Shek said the IDF has exhausted military efforts and must now focus on a deal to return those still captive.
Shek argued freeing hostages who have been captive for more than 500 days through diplomatic means is more urgent than wiping out the terror group.
More than 50 hostages remain in Hamas’ clutches after being barbarically kidnapped when thousands of terrorists swept across the border on October 7, 2023.
Of the 59 still in Gaza, 24 are still believed to be alive.
Speaking at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, Shek – who served as Israel’s ambassador to France – insisted the release of the hostages should be Israel’s number one priority.
Shek, now head of diplomacy for the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said: “I actually think that the military effort has exhausted itself many, many months ago.
“It is clearly a matter of political will and that only an agreement can bring back the hostages.
“It’s the priority issue. People ask, there are two goals the Israeli government set to the war, defeating Hamas and bringing back the hostages – which is more important.
“And my honest and truthful answer is that I don’t know which is more important. But I know for certain which is more urgent.
“There is a clear hierarchy, priority and urgency. You can defeat Hamas in six months, a year – but you cannot leave the hostages any longer in Gaza.”
Shek said the “second worst enemy” to the hostages after Hamas is “forgetfulness” as he urged the international community to fight for their long-awaited freedom.
Hamas brutally abducted 251 people from Israel in an atrocious shock attack more than 15 months ago.
Weeks after the assault, that left more than 1,200 dead, 105 hostages were released in a prisoner exchange deal.
A further 30 were freed this year during a ceasefire.
But for the families whose loved ones remain captive, they believe not enough is being done to save them.
Yehuda Cohen is battling for his soldier son Nimrod, 20, to finally be brought home.
Nimrod, then 19, was a gunner in a tank on October 7 attempting to stem Hamas terrorists invading Nahal Oz army base.
The teen was in a tank when he was captured by terrorists, with the vehicle struck by RPG fire and explosives.
He was dragged into Gaza alongside three colleagues, Cpt. Omer Neutra, Sgt. Shaked Dahan and Sgt. Oz Daniel Neutra.
Horrifying footage showed their tank engulfed in flames as terrorists in civilian clothing stood by before they were hauled out of the vehicle
As a soldier, Nimrod is set to be one of the last released by cruel Hamas thugs.
ON OCTOBER 7, 2023, Hamas launched a brutal surprise attack on Israel, marking one of the darkest days in the nation’s history.
Terrorists stormed across the border from Gaza, killing over 1,200 people — most of them civilians — and kidnapping 250 others, including women, children, and the elderly.
The coordinated assault saw heavily armed fighters infiltrate Israeli towns, kibbutzim, and military bases, unleashing indiscriminate violence.
Innocent families were slaughtered in their homes, and graphic footage of the atrocities spread across social media, leaving the world in shock.
And as well as attacking people in their homes, they stormed the Nova music peace festival – killing at least 364 people there alone.
The massacre triggered a swift and massive retaliatory response from Israel, escalating into a full-scale war.
The attack not only reignited long-standing tensions in the region but also left deep scars on both sides of the conflict, setting the stage for the 15 months of devastation that followed.
Yehuda said: “You heard the stories of what happened on October 7 – this is the past, we cannot change that.
“I’m talking about the present. And in the present my son along with 23 other hostages are suffering and their lives are in danger.
“So this is what’s important now. It all depends on our government agreeing to go for the second part of the deal, agreeing for a permanent ceasefire, the IDF withdraw from Gaza and exchange of prisoners.
“We can take care of them [Hamas] later. First of all saving lives including my son. I am here in the present.”
But Israel is ploughing ahead with its ambition to wipe out Hamas – ordering a large-scale evacuation of the Gaza strip.
It is not clear how much land Israel intends to seize.
Defence Minister Israel Katz said evacuations would take place from where the fighting would happen.
The IDF has issued evacuation orders to those living around the southern city of Rafah and towards the city of Khan Yunis, telling them to move to the Al-Mawasi area on the shore.
Israeli leaders are pressing on after being encouraged by signs of protest in Gaza against Hamas, which has controlled the strip since 2007.
KATIE McCabe took a trip down memory lane by visiting Kilnamanagh’s Under-9s before linking up with the Ireland squad.
The Ireland captain made time to coach up the next generation of footie aces at what was her childhood club.
She led the youngsters through a shooting drill – coaching up their technique in the process.
The kids hung on every word the 95-times capped star said across the whole session.
They’ll have a chance to see McCabe put her skills in action once again when she leads out the Girls in Green in Greece on Friday for what is the first of a Nations League double-header.
The reverse fixture at Tallaght Stadium will then take place on Tuesday, April 8.
Ireland’s preparations for the pair of games have been hampered by a passport issue which has prevented assistant coach Amber Whiteley from linking up with the squad in time.
The interim Liverpool boss was due to fly into Dublin on Monday and then travel with the squad to Crete yesterday for Friday’s affair.
Heather Payne has emerged as a doubt for that game with an ankle issue which meant she did not train Tuesday morning.
But Whiteley was unable to obtain a new passport after she had cancelled her old one which later turned up.
The FAI’s Head of Women and Girls football Hannah Dingley has taken her place, to assist head coach Carla Ward and her no 2 Alan Mahon.
Dingley has extensive experience from her time as Academy Manager at Forest Green Rovers and Head of Academy Coaching at Burton Albion.
She had a two-week spell as caretaker manager of Forest Green’s men’s team in the summer of 2023 before joining the FAI last year.
Because of her club commitments, Whiteley was not going to be involved for the return game in Tallaght on Tuesday.
Whether Whiteley – who worked with Ward for her first two games in charge in February – has any future role with the Ireland team remains to be seen.
If she lands the Liverpool job on a permanent basis, she would be expected to give up her role with the FAI.
Last week, Ward said Colin Healy would come into the frame for that vacancy if it arises.
The Association came under fire for letting Healy go along with former boss Eileen Gleeson following the Euro 2025 play-off defeat to Wales.
The ex-Ireland midfielder claimed he had received a verbal assurance he would be kept on, something which was strenuously denied by the FAI’s Chief Football Officer Marc Canham.
Ward stood by her assertion that bringing in Healy as her no 2 was not an option, despite Canham’s insistence she had a free hand in bringing in her backroom staff.
Mahon – who effectively replaced Healy – said he would have no issue with Healy being brought in, although whether the Cork man would be interested in a part-time no 3 role after the nature of his exit from the Association is unclear.
Mahon said: “Not a problem at all. I’ve heard good things about Colin.
“I’ve never met him myself, I know of him and we’ve come across each other, but there wouldn’t be an issue on my side or Carla’s side, to be honest.”
Imagine a WWE ring as the spotlight danced around it, and the roar of the crowd crashed like a tsunami in the background, and a single microphone like a loaded shotgun was suspended in the air.

GRANIT XHAKA clashed with his own fans in a heated confrontation following a humiliating defeat.
Xhaka, 32, played the full 90 minutes as Bayer Leverkusen were dumped out of the DFB-Pokal German Cup semi-finals by third-tier Arminia.
The reigning Bundesliga champions became the FOURTH top-flight side to be dumped out of this season’s competition by the minnows.
Leverkusen took the lead through Jonathan Tah on 17 minutes.
The hosts equalised three minutes later then took a surprise lead just before half-time – and managed to hold on for another famous victory.
But while Arminia celebrated booking their place in next month’s final – where they will face Stuttgart or RB Leipzig – the anger among Leverkusen fans threatened to boil over.
Xhaka went over to the away section to address the travelling supporters after full-time.
But the conversation soon turned angry, with the former Arsenal skipper furious gesticulating towards one man in particular.
As he demonstrated during his time at the Emirates with his infamous outburst where he told his own fans to “f*** off”, the combative Swiss star is never one to shy away from a blazing row.
A Bayer member of staff tried to calm the raging fan down but Xhaka continued the intense exchange as another man joined the fiery debate.

Leverkusen won the DFB-Pokal last season as part of their record-breaking campaign which saw them go unbeaten in domestic football and win the double – including their first-ever Bundesliga title.
They missed out on the Treble when Ademola Lookman scored a hat-trick for Atalanta in the Europa League final.
The shock defeat to Arminia means Xabi Alonso’s side will not retain the cup this season.
And they sit in second, six points behind Bayern Munich, with seven games to go in the league campaign.
THE brother of a woman murdered by her husband has welcomed plans for a new law aiming to ban parents who kill their spouses from being guardians to their kids.
James Kilroy, 51, received a life sentence for inflicting 57 injuries on his occupational therapist wife Valerie French in a horrific knife and hatchet attack at their home in Co Mayo on June 14, 2019.
Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has brought a memo to the Cabinet seeking approval for the new “Valerie’s Law” legislation to be introduced.
David, who has written a new book about his sister’s murder and his family’s fight for justice entitled ‘For Valerie’ added: “This is a very straightforward piece of legislation and I am glad it is being supported.
“This legislation is very important for families and someone like Kilroy, who deprived Valerie’s children of a devoted mother, should not have guardianship rights.
“My sister died defending her children and I hope that other families can benefit from Valerie’s Law once it has been implemented.”
David is also to establish a trust fund for her three children after securing a court order making him the administer of her estate.
The High Court ruling was made on Monday after the mum-of-three’s killer James Kilroy, 51, opposed Mr French’s legal bid to obtain responsibility for her estate.
The court’s decision means the killer will no longer be recognised as the executor of her estate.
David told us: “If Kilroy had agreed to let me be the representative for Valerie’s estate there would have been no need to go to the High Court.
“If he had thought about the future of the children for once we wouldn’t have faced further stress.
“I now plan to establish a trust fund for Valerie’s sons with the proceeds from this estate.
“He has opposed everything with his tactics and I am relieved this decision has been made.
“All we ever wanted was to safeguard the future of those children but Kilroy only cares about himself.”
PATRICK DORGU has been slammed by Martin O’Neill for his poor performance in Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Anthony Elanga scored a stunning solo goal to condemn his former team to their 13th defeat of the Premier League season on Tuesday night.
O’Neill, a double European champion with Forest, was delighted to see his old club tighten their grip on third in the Prem, as they bid to qualify for next year’s Champions League.
Elanga flooded forward from his own penalty area in the fifth minute, covering 85m in the space of just nine seconds, to lash home the opener.
United dominated the ball at 68 per cent possession and had 23 shots to Forest’s eight, but none of them too threatening for Matz Sels.
While Ruben Amorim’s side showed signs of improving on the ball, individual mistakes and the lack of firepower up front were glaring.
And O’Neill was particularly scathing in his assessment of Dorgu, who was playing just his seventh match since arriving from Lecce for £29.4 million in January.
Working as a pundit for TNT Sports, the 73-year-old said: “They had Dorgu playing tonight. I could have done what he did!
“He’s wide left-hand side, he’s got the ball and you’re saying: ‘Come on! Your job is to take players on. Get at them!’
“He’s laid it inside three times in the first 10 minutes of the second half… to the opposition!

“Maybe it’s no confidence, I don’t know what it is. But these type of things are all over the field for Manchester United.”
Rio Ferdinand highlighted that Dorgu was caught on the wrong side of Elanga, before he made his incredible game-winning run at the edge of Forest’s box early on.
And the 20-year-old regularly missed placed passes throughout his 90 minutes.
But fans have also criticised Alejandro Garnacho – who skied several shots – for not passing to Dorgu, who was making well-meaning overlapping runs.
Dorgu was coming off a stellar performance against Real Sociedad in the Europa League, where he had five shots on goal and won Bruno Fernandes’ game-leading penalty.
The Dane was crucial to United winning 4-1 on aggregate and advancing to face Lyon in the quarter-finals.
But the left-wing back hasn’t quite hit the ground running in his four Prem games.
https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1907167973858501074
Forest was his first league game back since his three-match suspension for picking up a straight red for a ruthless challenge on Omari Hutchinson against Ipswich in February.
Amorim was desperate to bolster his left-wing options in January with Diogo Dalot being forced to switch from the right side, Luke Shaw injured and Tyrell Malacia sent out on loan to PSV Eindhoven.
O’Neill further suggested that the current United squad lacks the depth and quality to genuinely contend in the Prem.
The Northern Irishman, whose last managerial job saw him sacked by Forest in 2019, added: “Man United have some really good players.
“Obviously, Fernandes is a top-quality player. But they haven’t enough good players to be a threat in this league.
“And when I say a threat for Manchester United, I’m talking about getting into the top four.”
The gritty win marked the first league double over United for the Tricky Trees since 1992 when legendary boss Brian Clough was still in charge of the club.
MANCHESTER UNITED’S woes continue after another disappointing loss to Nottingham Forest.
Forest picked up a 1-0 victory at the City Ground thanks to ex-United ace Anthony Elanga’s winner after just five minutes.
United remain 13th in the Premier League table and look set for their worst ever Premier League finish.
That is at least what their performance at Forest showed, as Ruben Amorim’s men don’t show signs of really understanding the Portuguese tactician’s preferred 3-4-2-1 formation.
But who stood out for a poor United’s side? And who was the biggest disappointment?
Check out Kostas Lianos’ players ratings below and find out…
Andre Onana – 5
Can’t blame him for Nottingham Forest’s winner as Anthony Elanga’s shot was too good. Made a stunning save to deny Ryan Yates’ header without knowing the Forest ace was offside.
Leny Yoro – 5
Should have been more aware before Elanga’s goal that came straight after a Man Utd corner-kick in which he had moved forward.
One could argue Yoro made up for it when he stopped a fine run by Elanga in the second half with an amazing and well-timed challenge to save United from a second.
Matthijs de Ligt – 4
The centre-back was also nowhere to be seen before Elanga’s goal. No other major errors but should have done better on the rebound after Diogo Dalot’s header hit the crossbar.
Noussair Mazraoui – 4
Completely hopeless during Elanga’s run that led to the goal and struggled in his defensive duties, especially in the first half. Not sure if the full-back fits in a defensive trio as part of Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation…
Diogo Dalot – 6
A strong performance down the right wing with some fine runs and good crosses. Registered United’s best chance in the first half when his header rattled Forest’s crossbar.
Casemiro – 4
At fault for Elanga’s goal as there was absolutely no midfield presence during Forest’s counter.
Loads of inaccurate passes and got booked for a reckless challenge on Yates before complaining in a very unjust way. Registered three shots but didn’t cause concern for Matz Sels.
Manuel Ugarte – 4
Cut a rather anonymous figure, among the guilty parties for Elanga’s goal as Man Utd’s midfield was caught sleeping. Rightly substituted at half-time.
Patrick Dorgu – 5
A fine display during the first half as he cut a strong presence down the left flank, even though he was completely outrun by Elanga before the goal.
But the versatile full-back was the complete opposite in the second half with a series of errors against a stunning Neco Williams.
Bruno Fernandes – 6
Registered the game’s first shot on target with a powerful effort that required a lunge from Sels, and that was basically United’s best shot throughout the entire match.
Fernandes produced some fine long balls and upgraded Man Utd’s midfield after Ugarte and Casemiro’s exits.
Alejandro Garnacho – 2
Very disappointing performance from the winger. Completely hopeless before Elanga’s goal with a desperate tackle and was lucky to avoid a booking for a ridiculous challenge on Yates while the Argentina international was on the attack.
A game riddled with heavy touches, failed dribbles, wrong passes, blocked shots and a silly yellow card as he kicked the ball away in frustration. Had a good shot on 69 minutes as a saving grace.
Joshua Zirkzee – 3
Was supposed to be a striker but was often seen playing too deep and didn’t register a chance in front of Forest’s goal. Didn’t inspire any danger even after Rasmus Hojlund came on to help him up front.
SUBS
Rasmus Hojlund – 5
Was much better than a woeful Zirkzee up front for Man Utd. But didn’t cause any significant danger and never looked like a goalscoring threat. Harry Maguire looked far more lethal as a false nine after he entered the pitch with a lot more presence inside the box.
Christian Eriksen – 4
Didn’t really elevate United’s midfield after Ugarte and Casemiro’s exit. The sort of performance that makes one wonder about his Old Trafford future…
Harry Maguire – 5
Only played nine minutes as a false nine and was by far Man Utd’s best forward. Brought on as a desperation move that almost paid off with the best chance of the match as his last-gasp effort was cleared by Murillo just off the line.
Mason Mount – N/A
