THE girl from the viral bored nightclub meme has stepped in front of the cameras for the first time in seven years to recreate other trends.

The legendary shot, which shows her looking uninterested as a friend speaks into her ear, has since been shared millions of times and is one of the most famous memes in digital history.

Lucia has stepped back into the limelight to recreate the picture which made her famous alongside some of the internet’s most beloved memes – from Harry Maguire’s Put the Bins Out to the ever-relatable Confused Math Lady.

Samsung has enlisted her help to bring to life the common face fails to highlight its Best Face technology on the new Galaxy A56 5G that can help prevent common photo mishaps by using AI to perfect group shots by replacing blinking eyes or awkward faces.

The smartphone maker commissioned research which found blinking (36 per cent), awkward facial expressions when saying “cheese” (26 per cent) and people standing in front of each other (21 per cent) are the most common group photo fails.

The new recreations see Lucia squint, blink and sneeze as research revealed nearly a third (30 per cent) admit to cropping part of the image out instead of attempting to edit pictures.

The study of 2,000 smartphone users found they spend 468 minutes per year editing, filtering and retouching images to achieve the ultimate level of perfection.

Gen Z will snap nearly 1,100 photos a year – more than twice as many as Baby Boomers taking an average of 21 snaps each week.

Their older counterparts take just eight a week – amounting to an annual total of just 416.

However, the younger age group also take an average of eight attempts at taking the perfect shot before they are happy to post it on social media.

Other common edits include getting rid of unwanted people in the background (24 per cent) removing red-eye or glare from glasses (23 per cent) and get rid of people blinking or chewing (16 per cent).

It also emerged the occasions for notorious facial fails are selfies (31 per cent), group photos (29 per cent), and theme park rides (17 per cent).

Nearly four in 10 (38 per cent) agree it really annoys them when everyone looks nice apart from them in a photo.

But despite this, just under half (47 per cent) would happily post a group photo if they looked great but a friend looked terrible.

When it comes to taking group photos, 21 per cent refuse to take photos all together, while 84 per cent have chosen to delete a pic rather than posting it on social media.

With these doing so because they didn’t like how they looked (38 per cent), or it was blurry and out of focus (21 per cent).

Almost half crop out friends the most (47 per cent) from their photos with a quarter admitting they have even cropped themselves out of photos before posting it.

The study also found 32 per cent have staged a candid photo to make it more nature – with Gen Zer’s being the biggest posers (69 per cent) compared to millennials (47 per cent), Gen X (23 per cent) and Boomers (22 per cent).

Annika Bizon from Samsung said: “We understand the desire to capture and share life’s best moments.

“However, our research revealed we spend nearly a month of our lives editing photos.

“We’re empowering users to get their best shot effortlessly, so they can spend less time editing and more time enjoying those special moments.”

HER transformation has been one of Hollywood’s biggest talking points, and this week Meghan Trainor finally owned up to the secret behind it.

The Grammy winner openly acknowledged that she doesn’t look the same as she did “10 years ago”, admitting to being part of the Ozempic and Mounjaro trend – a movement that has reportedly swept up around 20 million people in the US.

After much speculation, the 31-year-old shared a post to her 18.3 million Instagram followers where she spoke about her journey towards becoming the “healthiest version of herself” for her children.

She wrote: “I’ve worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my 2nd pregnancy. And I’m so glad I did because I feel great.”

Meghan previously revealed that she developed gestational diabetes after welcoming her two sons – Riley, four, and Barry, 21 months – with her husband of six years, Spy Kids star Daryl Sabara.

In November 2022, the Grammy winner also shared that she lost 60 pounds after reaching her “heaviest” weight following the birth of her son Riley.

But could there be other treatments behind her transformation?

Cosmetic Dr. Aamer Khan, the medical lead at Harley Street Skin Clinic who runs a Weight Shift Programme with Ozempic to help people safely achieve their weight loss goals, commented: “Her significant weight loss, which may well now be more than 60 pounds, is purported to have been achieved by Mounjaro, which costs around £700–£1,000 per month.

“Meghan Trainor’s dramatic physical transformation has likely been achieved through a combination of cosmetic procedures and lifestyle changes that have truly altered – and many would say enhanced – her appearance.”

Here’s a closer look at her transformation, alongside insights from top celebrity doctors Dr. Aamer and Galadari aesthetic doctor Dr Hassan Galadari, who reveal what other treatments could be behind her revamped look.

And how it may have set the Made You Look singer back £36,000.

Breast work

Earlier this year, Meghan underwent a breast augmentation and lift, describing the results as the “boobs of my dreams”.

She opted for the procedure after experiencing “sagginess” caused by having children and weight fluctuations, which could have cost between £6,000 and £12,000.

Skin tightening

Last year, Meghan admitted she may have gone a little too far with changes to her face.

Despite having Botox “just a handful of times”, she recalled being left unable to smile after getting a “lip flip”.

Speaking on her podcast Workin’ On It, the singer confessed to getting “too much Botox”.

Talking about the lip flip, she said: “And everyone’s like, ‘You’re going to love it, your little lips,’ and I didn’t love it because I couldn’t smile.”

Dr. Aamer commented: “Like most celebrities, Meghan has had Botox injections costing around £300–£400 per session.

“Her lip treatments, particularly for her top lip, could typically cost £300–£600 per session.”

Loosening up

Significant weight loss often leads to loose skin, which may require skin-tightening treatments to address.

Dr Hassan explained: “Meghan looks great, and it’s refreshing to see her being open and honest about using weight loss injections.

“However, she’s also very likely had other aesthetic treatments that have contributed to her changing facial appearance.

“Rapid weight loss can often lead to facial sagging and loose skin, so she may have had skin-tightening treatments like Morpheus8 Burst to lift and firm her neck and jawline, which can cost £550 per session.”

Dr Aamer added: “Her skin tightening may have included treatments like SkinTite, priced at £4,000, or even surgery such as an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), which costs around £10,000.

“These treatments help tighten the skin and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance after significant weight reduction.”

Getting scientifical

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Meghan revealed she is trying to “biohack” her body and is open to anything “that’ll help me age backwards”.

She said: “I just learned about the NADs [supplements].

“I was like, ‘Make me Hailey Bieber. I’ll do it. I’ll take it’ … I’m trying all the things. I love a doctor explaining stuff to me.”

NADs, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, boost cellular energy and maintain cellular health, helping cells function properly.

Dr Aamer added: “While Meghan has mentioned taking NAD capsules, it is quite possible that she has undergone NAD+ therapy, which is more commonly used for its rejuvenating effects.

“NAD+ therapy in drip form typically costs between £500 per session and promotes energy and overall well-being.”

Smile makeover

In 2022, Meghan revealed on her podcast Workin’ On It that she “got new teeth”.

Dr Aamer commented: “Her teeth, which could be veneers – a popular cosmetic dental procedure among celebrities – usually cost between £500 and £1,000 per tooth.”

Dr Hassan suggested Meghan may have also had biostimulators to enhance her smile.

He explained: “This could be calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid to help restore facial volume and stimulate collagen production over time.”

A HUGE car brand has given its bargain EV a major upgrade to increase its range to 266 miles – and you could be driving it next month.

VAUXHALL has released an updated version of its Long Range electric vehicle, starting at £28,900.

The previous variant of the Vauxhall Corsa Electric was able to drive 252 miles, but the updated vehicle can go 266 miles between charges.

This is a 14 mile increase in range from the previous model, and 61 mile increase from when the Corsa Electric first launched in 2019.

Improvements have been attributed to “improved battery cell chemistry” in the car’s nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery, and “an optimised powertrain” with efficient motor reducing energy consumption.

Vauxhall has also added vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities to the updated Corsa Electric, enabling the car battery to power external devices up to 3.6kW and 16A.

Available from May, this does require a charging cable with a bespoke V2L ‘gun’, which will be sold by Vauxhall dealers.

The new Corsa Electric Long Range is to be sold from £28,900, with a high level of equipment included as standard.

This includes heated front seats, a heated vegan leather steering wheel, 16-inch allow wheels and a colour-matched interior available in Eucalyptus Green, Cobalt Blue or Kiss Red.

The price of the ‘Yes’ Edition trim is £1395 more than the unchanged regular version of the car with a 221-mile range at 134bhp, which increased by £675.

This is as Vauxhall is said to have cut the price of its electric cars to under £40,000 to counter the luxury car tax.

However, the UK car manufacturer has still increased prices across the rest of the model range whilst introducing the revised Corsa Electric.

Vauxhall’s cars can be compared to EV competitors like the Renault 5, which provides a 252-mile range selling from £22,985, or the new Hundai Inster at 229 miles from £23,495.

Other related electric vehicles are expected to see similar upgrades, such as the Peugeot e-208.

JEREMY Kyle fought back tears as he spoke about his TV show being axed on Kate Garraway’s Life Stories last night.

The ITV show was cancelled following the tragic death of a guest in 2019.

Steve Dymond tragically took his own life after failing a lie detector test[/caption]

Steve Dymond took his own life after failing a lie detector test on the ITV1 daytime show after being accused of cheating on his partner.

But in September last year an inquest found no “clear and reliable causal connection” between the suicide and Dymond’s appearance on the series.

During an emotional chat with Kate, Jeremy recalled the devastating time he found out about Steve taking his own life.

Jeremy said: “I’ve got great people who saved me.

“My thoughts were always first and foremost for Steve Dymond.

“To get to a point where you would do that, must be terrible and his family but it was so frustrating Kate because for five years I couldn’t say anything for legal reasons.”

The TV presenter admitted it quickly “snowballed” and he felt for the people who worked on the show that lost their jobs.

Jeremy continued: “I wasn’t able to say anything and I thought about the people who lost their jobs over night, lost their mortgages, lost their livelihoods.

“It was snowballing and it became massive. It became a news story and the frustration was that you’re sat there and you couldn’t say anything which was really difficult. You have to feel for his family as well and the process got dragged out.”

He added: “It became huge because the family needed the truth and we needed the truth to be out there.

“I get it, I understand entirely that the Kyle show had to fall as a result of it. I completely get the people who were critics of the show, the ‘He had it coming!’ ‘Gobby!’ whatever. I get that, it’s fine, no bitterness, no anger. You find out who you’re friends are.”

The ITV series was axed in 2019 after 3,320 episodes across 17 series.

Jeremy insisted the programme’s volatile nature, which encouraged conflicts and confrontations for entertainment, is a thing of the past now the world has changed so dramatically.

Speaking about the reasons why the show would never return, Jeremy said: “There’s that great line, ‘do you want me to lie or do you want me to be honest’ and all the producers would say ‘oh god he’s going to tell the truth again’ but that was what people at that time craved.

“We live in a world now where people aren’t honest, are they?

“They’re too busy worrying about what kind of response they’re going to get.”

Viewers were used to onstage brawls on The Jeremy Kyle Show as guests rowed over family and romantic relationships, sex and addiction.

But in 2015 an episode was pulled over “violent content” – and it was never aired on TV.

Jeremy has always defended the programme against critics who dubbed it “poverty porn” and “classist television” — mocking struggling working-class people.

The presenter said of The Jeremy Kyle Show: “It was a juggernaut. You would look at it now and think it’s a bygone era.

“We launched in 2005, that was just before the advent of social media and I think that changed everything.

“And people… Would they watch it because it would help them? They’d feel better about their own lives?

“Many people were invested in it. The world has changed dramatically – you can’t say boo to a goose now, can you?

“Understandably, shows like that have gone by the by.

“But I’m immensely proud of those numbers of episodes, taking it to America and the people that we genuinely helped.

“Listen, 15 years is a long time.”
