The 30-year-old is proof that you can have incredible skin without breaking the bank, as the moisturiser Maya swears by costs £14 on Amazon.

CeraVe Moisturising Lotion, £14 (was £17)

CeraVe’s Moisturising Lotion has been slashed from £17 to £14 in the sale, that’s an 18% discount.

The face cream has gained a mass following over the years, earning its cult status due to its gentle formula that’s effective on dry skin.

Maya, previously told Grazia that the moisturiser is part of her daily skincare regime.

“I’m really into this face cream which helps to strengthen my skin barrier,” she said.

The Love Island host added: “This budget-friendly product provides instant hydration, boosted with ceramides that work to repair and strengthen the skin with every use.”

Designed for normal to dry skin, the CeraVe lotion is formulated with a blend of ceramides and hyaluronic acid that works to nourish the skin while locking in moisture.

Acne-prone skin types can also use this cream, as it’s non-comedogenic which prevents clogged pores.

One shopper wrote: “I have suffered from acne for years and find most products cause me to breakout – this does not clog pores and leaves my face feeling amazing with a very nice texture.”

Another added: “I have been using this for just over a month and my skin has transformed, my pores are smaller, my many many black and whiteheads have all but disappeared.

I am so happy with how well this has worked for me, it’s given me such a confidence boost!”

RUGBY icon Johnny Wilkinson has hailed Ireland head coach Andy Farrell ahead of their Six Nations Championship clash against Wales.

The Ireland boss has been forced into taking a sabbatical ahead of him leading the British and Lions later this summer on their Tour of Australia.

But former out-half Wilkinson says Farrell’s absence is no worry for interim boss Simon Easterby as he’s left a massive imprint on the culture in the squad.

World Cup winning number ten Wilkinson played with Farrell during their time together at Saracens.

45-year-old Wilkinson hailed Faz for his man management skills before crediting the atmosphere that he’s built around the Ireland set-up.

Speaking on the Rugby Pod with Dan Biggar, Wilkinson said: “I played with Andy—he knows the game inside out. He understands it from 1 to 15, and he gets players too.

“He’s willing to understand them, to connect, and to build bonds and friendships that exist regardless of selection or non-selection.

“That’s exactly what he’s done with Ireland.

“He’s created an environment where players leave their club and feel like they’re moving to another club, rather than just joining a group of individuals in an international team.

“There’s a sense of home when they come in—not just a place where they feel safe, comfortable, supported, and cared for—but also an environment that drives them, that pushes them to see how far they can go.

“That combination is incredibly empowering. You see it in the way they’ve taken off—their understanding, their self-belief, the conviction, the ruthlessness.

“They just keep delivering, and in those 50/50 moments, they always seem to find a way to win.”

Ireland face Wales this weekend in Cardiff as they look to keep their Grand Slam hopes alive.

The green machine are also on course for a record-breaking third successive title.

Wales sacked head coach Warren Gatland last week after a 14-game losing streak.

Kick-off is at 2:15pm on Saturday.

TWO suspects are accused of the racist attempted murder of a man.

Thomas Hannah, 46, and John McGuinness, 42, are charged with carrying out the attack at a property in Nairn in the Highlands on March 17 2023.

It is claimed the man was hit on the head with rocks, pushed to the floor and had his neck compressed with a table or other item of furniture.

Prosecutors allege that he also lost consciousness.

Hannah and McGuinness are also charged with robbing the man of a wallet, mobile phone and a bicycle.

It is further said they did “utter racial abuse” towards him.

McGuinness faces a separate and earlier charge of assaulting the man to his injury on the same day elsewhere in Nairn.

The indictment claims that he was grabbed by the arm, had it twisted before being punched causing him to strike a door. The charge also claims that he was also hit on the head.

Lawyers for the pair pleaded not guilty on their behalf at a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow today/yesterday.

A trial was fixed by judge Lord Colbeck and is scheduled to start in November this year.

Elsewhere hundreds of potentially dangerous prisoners will be let out of jail tomorrow as new SNP laws around early release come into force.

Around 400 criminals serving sentences of four years or less will be let out over the next six weeks under plans which have seen the point of automatic release drop from 50 per cent to 40 per cent of their sentence.

Nats ministers claimed they were forced into the move amid huge pressure on Scottish jails.

Latest figures show 8,289 prisoners are behind bars, well above the safe capacity of 8,007.

But Scottish Tory justice spokesman Liam Kerr warned the move would see victims betrayed and see many criminals re-offend and back behind bars.

He said: “The release of more dangerous criminals today poses an immediate threat to public safety.”

THREE young men who viciously stamped on the head of gangland assassin Tristan Sherry and repeatedly stabbed him after he had shot criminal Jason Hennessy in a busy restaurant on Christmas Eve have all been found GUILTY of murder.

Michael Andrecut, 23, David Amah, 19, and Noah Moseumi, 18, face mandatory life sentences when they are sentenced at the Special Criminal Court in April.

Jonas Kabangu, 19, Diarmuid O’Brien, 18, and Jason Hennessy’s son Brandon, 21, were all convicted of violent disorder on the same night.

Sherry was savagely beaten and stabbed to death after he entered Browne’s Steakhouse in Blanchardstown on December 24, 2023 and opened fire.

Hennessy, 48, was hit during the shooting and died 11 days later in hospital.

A second gunman fled the scene and was never tracked down.

In a lengthy judgement today, presiding judge Kerida Naidoo said Andrecut was “considered and relatively composed” as he stamped on Sherry, kicked him in the head and beat him with an iron bar.

He added: “He even paused to take a picture of him with a mobile phone as he lay on the ground.”

CCTV footage showed Amah, who was 17 at the time, also “repeatedly stamped and kicked” the gunman’s head before continuously “striking him with a chair”.

Musueni, the court said, “initially helped to remove Jason Hennessy Snr from the scene but let go of him before stamping on Sherry three times with his right leg.

“He then took something from a table, crouched down and stabbed Sherry with a knife that was considered and relatively composed.”

He also stamped on Sherry and kicked him in the head, stabbed him repeatedly using a knife, beat him with an iron bar and struck him with a chair.

Judge Naidoo said the actions of all three men were “considered, composed and showed they had not lost any self-control.”

The court said on this basis it did not agree with the defence claims that they were provoked and were justified in their actions because they felt their lives were under threat at a time when Sherry had been disarmed, was lying on the ground and didn’t pose a threat to them or anyone else.

The case was adjourned for mention until March 10 before the a sentence hearing takes place on April 7. Probation reports were ordered for Amah and Museuni because they were under the age of 18 at the time of the murder. 

DAISY May Cooper has admitted filming for Am I Being was thrown into chaos after she got lip fillers and Botox.

Daisy joked that as a result she ended up looking like “Count Duckula”.

During an appearance on Radio 4, she said: “I have had all the Botox and that. I couldn’t move my eyebrows which isn’t great for an actress.

“My eyebrows were so stiff. I looked like that cartoon character Count Duckula. They looked like triangles.

“Season two is like meant to happen about half an hour after season one has finished and yet I have lost about 10 stone, had my lips done, in some scenes I am pregnant and some I’m not.”

Daisy reassured fans they’d managed to get it all worked out though.

She continued: “People are going to like ‘what is going on?’, but please, bear with us.

“I think in episode two there is a flashback where it is really obvious because in season one I have no lips and in the second I’m like Donald Duck.”

Daisy insisted her cosmetic procedures were a “defence mechanism” and said she had not gone under the knife for “plastic surgery”.

Last week The Sun revealed Daisy is engaged to boyfriend Anthony Huggins after a whirlwind romance and a baby.

She gave birth to baby Benji in June last year, revealing he had arrived “earlier” than expected.

Daisy has two children from her previous marriage to ex-husband Will Weston.

It was also revealed the success of Am I Being Unreasonable has helped Daisy to rake in an eye-watering £19,000 a week.

A STUDENT who allegedly drugged and raped ten unconscious victims has told a court his “favourite” porn is sleeping women.

Zhenhao Zou is accused of “stupefying” the women using vast amounts of alcohol or drugs to render them incapacitated.

He allegedly used recording devices to film the women[/caption]

The 27-year-old would then carry out sex attacks, which he filmed to keep as “souvenirs”, jurors were told.

Giving evidence today, Zou told Inner London Crown Court he prefers pornography where the women “appear to be still and quiet when they are having sex”.

When asked by his lawyer Mark Cotter KC if he liked women being asleep, he continued: “Yes, that’s my favourite type. But I could not find that.”

University College London student Zou told jurors he instead watched “specialist timestop” pornography.

Zou first came to UK in 2017 to study engineering at Queen’s University in Belfast.

In 2019, Zou began a master’s degree at University College London before beginning a PhD there in 2021.

He told the court that while studying at UCL he came into contact with cocaine, ecstasy tablets and ketamine while partying.

Zou claimed he had suffered from “sleeping problems for a long time” since school.

This led him to buy xanax from a drug dealer at a party, he told jurors.

He also admitted buying two bottles of the drug 1,4-Butanediol, which is made into well-known date-rape drug GHB by the body when swallowed.

When asked what he intended to do with the drug, Zou said he wanted to take it himself when he went clubbing to “get high”.

He denied planning to use the substance to carry out sexual assaults.

Between March 17, 2020, and July 25, 2021, Zou said he was online a lot after moving back to China during the Covid pandemic.

He also admitted having cosmetic operations in China including a hair transplant and operations on his eyelids.

Zou denies 11 charges of rape on ten alleged victims, 12 of possession of an extreme pornographic images and three counts of voyeurism.

He is also charged with one of false imprisonment and eight counts of possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply.

The court heard between 2019 and 2023, he raped two of the women in London, while the other eight were at unknown locations in China.

Prosecutor Catherine Farrelly, KC, said previously: “To the outside world, Zhenhao Zou undoubtedly presents as a smart and charming young man.

“However, as you know from the indictment in this case which contains 35 allegations against him, the prosecution says that he is also a persistent sexual predator, a voyeur and a rapist.”

Jurors have heard how the case is based on videos found on his mobile phone and two cameras also seized from his home.

Zou claims some of the women were “role playing” and all consented to any footage that was taken of them.

In a prepared statement he gave to police in January 2024, Zou said: “Firstly, I wish to say that reference has been made to pictures retrieved from my mobile phones however I have not seen these and I do not recall when and where I took them.

“I can say, however, that I am in the habit of taking pictures of my sexual activity with my sexual partners. The pictures are only taken with her consent and agreement.

“As to the allegation of rape I deny having sexual intercourse with a partner without her consent and I always believed she consented to it.”

He denies all 35 charges against him and the trial continues.

SKY and Virgin Media customers have been warned of two channel changes coming to screens this week – and it all comes ahead of a major closure.

Sports fans are braced to say farewell to Eurosport next week after 35 years of broadcasting in the UK.

Changes are coming on Saturday[/caption]

Viewers will have to subscribe to TNT Sports to continue watching much of Eurosport’s content – though some programmes will remain free-to-air on Quest.

But before that, telly fans across the UK face further changes.

Fortunately, there are no other major closures happening at the moment.

Though an expert has warned The Sun that more are “inevitable”.

Last week saw five channel changes happen across Sky and Virgin Media.

This week there are just two – and they only affect those who subscribe to Sky Cinema.

As part of Sky’s routine channel rebranding to refresh movie themes, two channels are taking on a new name at the end of the week.

Firstly, Sky Cinema Harry Potter is disappearing once again.

It will revert back to its generic name, Sky Cinema Family from Saturday.

Meanwhile, Sky Cinema Thriller is bowing out for a short period.

From Saturday, it will be known as Sky Cinema Assassins.

The channel numbers will remain unaffected – you can see the full details below.
