“Happened to me,” one wrote.

“I called 111, told to wait for a DR to call back. They called back at 3am, woke me from my sleep.

“I said I would take my daughter to Dr’s in the morn… next thing police & ambulance were at my door.

“Told me I have to take my daughter to the hospital now, a report was made, case opened, social visited and then they closed the case.

“No concerns at all but literally stress.”

“Same happened to me with my two year old,” another added.

“I only wanted some advice and like you wasn’t sure whether he’d breathed in some bath water which he slipped in.

“I was with him at the time but just wanted to be sure no water had gotten into his lungs.

“If we were doing anything wrong for social services to get involved I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t be ringing 111 for advice.

“It’s crazy!”

And a third commented: “I once took my oldest to A&E as I had been doing the washing and a pod had dropped on floor without me knowing.

“I turned round and oldest had it all over his hands. I was so worried I took him to A&E.

“Luckily he hadn’t ingested, which I didn’t think he had but just to be sure I took him.

“Then had social services on my door as I wasn’t supervising him properly… terrified of asking for help even now.”

“What did social services say?” someone else asked Ami.

To which she replied: “They have said they don’t understand the phone call but are going to give a visit anyways.”

Others insisted the NHS 111 staff were just following protocol, with one writing: “It’s policy, which is good.

“They just need to ensure all is safe. It’s not a bad thing, you haven’t done anything wrong.

“They’ll ask you what happened and no issues.”

If we were doing anything for social services to get involved I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t be ringing 111 for advice!

“I worked for 111 and any potential ingestion of chemicals we had to raise a safeguarding,” another said.

“Imagine it’s not you and it’s a person who doesn’t know to keep their chemicals out of reach of small children.”

Speaking to Fabulous Online about her experience, Ami said: “Thousands of UK children are being dragged through this system and for nothing.

“The NHS didn’t even want my child to be seen in A&E… they rang social services without seeing my daughter, without assessing her properly, and by just asking if there was symptoms on the phone.

“That’s no good and it’s certainly not a good enough reason to ring social services.

“It’s like saying if your children are at home… and the smallest thing happens you’re going to get social called on you.”

Fabulous Online has contacted the NHS for a comment regarding Ami’s situation.

A UNIVERSITY Challenge contestant struggled with a ‘hard’ question as they admitted they ‘didn’t understand it’ while viewers at home flooded social media.

The hit BBC show – which sees students from rival universities compete – aired its latest episode last night.

Host Amol Rajan was on anchor duties as he quizzed the brainiacs battled it out in the quarter-final.

UCL went up against Open University for a spot in University Challenge’s semi-final.

During the show, Amol told UCL their bonus round were on terms of graph theory.

He then asked: “All three answers begin with the same letter. In graph theory, what adjective is applied to a graph in which every possible pair of vertices by a unique edge?”

The four players were left equally dumbfounded as they struggled to come up with an answer.

While everyone glanced at each other worried, they turned to teammate Jack.

Through a smile, he quipped: “I don’t understand the question.”

Viewers at home took to social media to share their reaction, with one writing: “UCL Jack speaking for 99.9% of the nation when he said ‘I don’t understand the question’.”

A second wrote: “Don’t understand the question’ is the whole 30 minutes for most of us…”

“Obsessed with the guy on University Challenge just straight up going ‘I don’t understand the question.’ Me too babe,” said a third fan.

While a fourth commented: “So nice when a contestant on #UniversityChallenge says “I don’t understand the question.”

The team decided to pass on the question and Amol, 41, moved on.

PRINCE Harry is in “total shock” after being accused of “harassment and bullying” by a charity boss, one of his pals has said.

It is the latest development in a dispute between Sentebale chairwoman Sophie Chandauka and the charity’s co-founder Harry, who quit as its patron last week amid a boardroom battle.

Ms Chandauka said relations went downhill when Harry tried to hijack a polo fundraiser[/caption]

Alex Rayner, who attended Eton with Harry and went to the North Pole with him in 2012, claimed he spoke to him over the weekend.

He said the Duke of Sussex, 40, is “shocked” by the accusations and “feels as if he has had one of his fingers cut off”.

Rayner insisted Harry was “very happy” for him to “speak for him about how he feels”.

He told MailOnline: “He is just beyond heartbroken and flabbergasted that the charity he founded as a teenager has been taken hostage by the chair.

“It feels tantamount to a hostile takeover. He is so upset and hurt and wounded about the things that are being said about him.

“I think it’s too early to tell whether he will just walk away now or whether he might try and get it back.”

Rayner also said he believed the allegations by Ms Chandauka were because she was jealous of his wife Meghan Markle.

It comes after Harry was accused of sending an “unpleasant” and “imperious” message to Ms Chandauka after she failed to publicly quash rumours of a rift with his wife.

Ms Chandauka has already alleged the duke tried to “eject” her through “bullying” and “harassment”.

While a source close to former trustees and patrons of Sentebale dismissed her comments at the weekend as a “publicity stunt”.

During the prize-giving ceremony at a Sentebale fundraising polo match in Miami last April, the Duchess of Sussex appeared to choreograph who stood next to Harry.

And in an awkward moment Ms Chandauka moved from beside the duke to Meghan’s side ducking under the trophy.

The Telegraph claimed a member of Harry’s team asked Ms Chandauka to issue a statement to quash any rumours about tensions with Meghan.

But when she refused the duke reportedly contacted her directly.

The newspaper alleged Harry demanded she “explain herself” and claimed sources said the note was “unpleasant” in tone and used “imperious” language.

The duke founded Sentebale in honour of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help young people and children in southern Africa, particularly those living with HIV and Aids.

However several trustees have left the organisation in a dispute with Ms Chandauka having requested her resignation.

The dispute arose over a decision to focus fundraising in Africa, according to The Times.

Former trustees Timothy Boucher, Mark Dyer, Audrey Kgosidintsi, Kelello Lerotholi and Damian West said their decision to resign was “devastating”.

But it was the “result of our loss in trust and confidence in the chair of the board”.

A source close to the trustees and patrons described Ms Chandauka’s interviews as a “publicity stunt”.

They added: “They remain firm in their resignation, for the good of the charity, and look forward to the adjudication of the truth.”

In a joint statement issued last week Harry and Prince Seeiso backed the departing trustees and stepped back as patrons until further notice.

They said it was “devastating” that the relationship between Sentebale’s trustees and chairwoman of the board “broke down beyond repair”.

The Duke of Sussex’s office was approached for comment.

RAGING former Rennes boss Jorge Sampaoli has made a shock revelation about the transfer of Celtic hero Kyogo Furuhashi.

The Argentinian manager was AXED just days after the arrival of the Japanese frontman in a bumper £10m deal, with Jota coming in the opposite direction.

While Kyogo was a revelation in Scotland he has started just one game for his new Ligue 1 club and has yet to get on the scoresheet.

There’s even been speculation in France that the ex-Hoops boss could be offloaded by new manager Habib Beye as early as the summer.

And now Sampaoli has opened up on the move – saying that it was the clubs sports director who signed him and part of the reasons he exited his post as manager.

He said “The owner of the club is a very important person in France and, frankly, the club was not up to the expectations that I had compared to the market.

“The sports director decided to make a transfer window that had nothing to do with what we needed.

“We preferred to cut the bridges. I could not represent a team which I had not chosen the players in the winter transfer window.

“We even talked about players who have already played with us to change the story more easily, but we were not listened to.”

Kyogo has had a grand total of 113 minutes on the pitch thus far.

But he insists he’s getting more confident every day and is planning to be back at his best soon.

He said recently: “I am gaining confidence.

I’m putting my all into the game and showing my skills every day, and my time is increasing little by little.

“I think I’m almost there. I will actively work on it and practice onwards for next season.”

Alan and Amanda previously shared how excited they were to shake up the show by moving it from Italy to Spain after two seasons.

Alan, 48, told The Mirror: “It’s always exciting when a show you love gets recommissioned but the fact that we will be bringing our unique DIY expertise to a whole different country makes it even more special.

“We are saying ciao for now and Hola España! Can’t wait to grab our power tools and get our hard hats on and bring some much-needed TLC to a casa in Spain.”

Amanda, 53, added: “It’s wonderful how often I’m stopped in the street and told how much people love our show.

“Alan and I have the best time filming it and to have reached series three already is beyond the dreams of our lockdown pitch to the BBC!

“By day we love getting our hands dirty knocking down walls and lugging around power tools knowing we’ll be sipping on an ice-cold reward by night, forgetting the cameras are rolling.”

All three previous series are available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.

THERE may have been a time in the distant past when people might not have been able to conceive of the idea of too much football.

Not anymore, with this summer’s Club World Cup about as necessary and welcome as a round of sandwiches within a couple of hours of Christmas dinner. Please, no más.

We have reached saturation point, where few have any appetite for consuming another competition, particularly one designed by Fifa, DAZN and Saudi Arabia — a modern-day football axis of gluttony.

It is true that, before the League of Ireland changed to a calendar season, the summers used to drag, particularly when there was no international tournament on.

But, although we may not have appreciated it at the time, it turned out that absence made the heart grow fonder.

The boredom of the off-season morphed into anticipation like a caterpillar into a butterfly.

It was the natural order, the way things should be.

Transfer speculation and the release of fixtures helped to ensure that you never totally lost interest.

Pre-season friendlies, particularly against foreign opposition, in the summer had an allure.

They simply do not have the same appeal when it is a case of short days rather than short sleeves.

They take place in the depths of winter when the thought of going out to watch some fitness-building, non-competitive action when there are matches every night of the week on TV appeals to only a few sadists.

Maybe that will change if and when what is effectively a calendar season is rolled out across all levels of football in Ireland but I suspect not, given we will still be at odds with our nearest neighbour.

But those at the elite end of the game could be forgiven for thinking that the notion of a football calendar has been well and truly consigned to the dustbin.

Instead, it has been replaced by a hamster wheel into which players are invited to run themselves into the ground with no apparent recognition or concern that both they and their ability to perform are seriously compromised as a result.

The English Premier League season will end on May 25, the same day as La Liga in Spain and Italy’s Serie A.

Ligue Un in France will conclude three days earlier, the Bundesliga finishes up the previous weekend.

The Champions League final — which will be contested by two teams from those four leagues — will take place on May 31.

Time for a well-earned rest then? Not quite because many of the same players will be back in action, again in Germany but, in the meantime, some will have flown home with their clubs before returning with their countries.

Football laughs in the face of the carbon footprint.

On June 4, Germany and Portugal take on each other in the first of the Nations League semi-finals with the other, between Spain and France, taking place the following day with the third-place play-off and the final both slated for June 8.

The Nations League may be a better alternative to friendly games but expecting a product befitting of contests between those countries so soon after the European club season has concluded is fanciful.

IRISH ANGLE

And it is not just those at the elite level who will be kept busy either as other countries will be involved in either World Cup qualifiers or friendly games, such as Ireland, who play host to Senegal on June 6 and then travel to play Luxembourg four days later.

The absence of competitive fixtures at that time of year is no bad thing for Heimir Hallgrimsson considering our continued reliance on players from the English Championship. Its regular season ends on May 3.

Awkward timing is something Stephen Bradley had to contend with when Shamrock Rovers’ progress in the Conference League saw them playing games after the end of the 2024 League of Ireland season and before the beginning of the 2025 campaign.

A shortened close-season was, he accepted, the price of success, with the aim of faring better in Europe one of the original reasons put forward for the switch in the domestic season more than two decades ago.

But the notion of an off-season is becoming increasingly outdated because, within four days of those internationals, the Club World Cup kicks off in the USA.

PSG’s Willian Pacho has already played 49 games this season for club and country.

So has a Real Madrid counterpart but there is no sense football administrators know the one that is one ‘Tchouameni’.

Ecuador have two World Cup qualifiers in June and, depending on how they fare in cup competitions, PSG could have a further 21 fixtures between the league, French Cup, Champions League and the Club World Cup.

The Club World Cup final takes place on July 13.

Pacho finished up last season on July 5 when Ecuador were beaten on penalties by Argentina in the Copa America quarter-finals.

He was back in action in France on August 16 for PSG’s league opener against Le Havre.

FIFPRO CONCERNS

No wonder when the new global 32-team competition was announced in 2022, FIFPRO, the players’ union, said: “Once again, decisions to scale competitions without implementing appropriate safeguards are short-sighted and pay no attention to players’ health and performance.

“This decision once more shows that key stakeholders of the game are not being appropriately involved in decision making of football, even when it concerns the core of their fundamental rights.”

When issues such as player welfare come up, there are tiresome retorts about how much money they earn blah, blah, blah.

As the statement said, the issue is not simply one of their workload but their ability to perform to expectations.

Yes, in the past successful teams played a lot of games between cup replays and so on but there was nowhere near the same amount of travel involved.

And the ongoing creation of new tournaments or expansion of existing ones does not seem to be even in response to a greater demand from fans.

Why, then, has it come about? A broadcast rights deal worth $1billion to Fifa goes a long way to answering that question.

Is that how much they are really worth for a competition much of which is not ideally timed for the European TV audience and will have, I think, limited appeal?

It seems unlikely particularly as younger generations appear to prefer consuming football in bite-sized clips rather than 90-minute sitdown meals.

But it just happens to be the same amount paid by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund for a stake in DAZN and the total prize fund which has been stumped up by Fifa.

That has helped quieten objections from clubs who cannot help but be distracted by the fact that the winners stand to take in $125million.

As far as the governing body is concerned, silence might be golden but surely Gianni Infantino and his pals know the moral of the story of the goose which laid eggs of that hue when it was expected to produce more and more.
