Zoe Ball left her husband Norman Cook (pictured inset on their wedding day) for 22-year-old Tay Tay Starhz (right) because she found the superstar DJ boring, friends have revealed. She has walked out of the home she shared with Cook - the DJ Fatboy Slim - their son Woody, 16, and daughter Nelly May, six. The 45-year-old TV presenter (pictured in 1999, left) moved out two weeks ago and is living with her mother, Julia, in a house next door but one to the old marital home on the esplanade at Hove in East Sussex (pictured below).

Marcus Tyson was responding to a screaming pro-Kurd activist who told him to 'get out of here' during an ugly clash. The Metropolitan Police officer, who has served on the frontline for almost 29 years, thought little more about the incident. But after a video was posted online (pictured), he found himself under investigation for racism and could now be sacked for gross misconduct.

A man believes he has captured the moment two young girls slipped his girlfriend's watch from her wrist as she posed for a photograph with them at a Thai temple. In the image, the woman smiles as one of the girls appears unclasp her wrist watch. The travelling couple only noticed once they reviewed their holiday snapshots. The image was shared online and thousands of people commented on the thread, with some sharing pictures of the two girls from their own trips.

This intimate photograph (left) shows Team GB cyclists Laura Trott and Jason Kenny taking to the dance floor just hours after they tied the knot in a secret ceremony. The couple, who have 10 Olympic gold medals between them, married at Hilltop Country House in Cheshire yesterday, surrounded by friends and family. Today a handful of images of the ceremony and reception were released to the public (top and bottom right), revealing how Team GB's golden couple celebrated their big day. While the couple would have no doubt been offered an exclusive magazine deal for the photos, they have instead chosen to share them for free. Kenny announced the news today by posting a snap of his new wife in their marital bed on Twitter (inset), with the caption: 'Good morning Mrs Kenny'.

Helena Frith Powell (pictured left, before) got grey streaks, or 'silver lights', to transition from block colour and fully grey hair. Carefully done, this is the colour to bridge the gap between the two for many years. After getting several streaks put in around her temple, she said she was pleased with the result (right) and thought it brightened her face.

Britain's Got Talent winner and Emmerdale actor George Sampson (centre) is reportedly taking his own mother to court. The street dancer (left) shot to fame on the ITV talent show in 2008 at the age of just 14 winning £100,000 and the chance to perform in The Royal Variety Show. He is best remembered for his 'singing in the rain' performance but since then has acted in StreetDance 3D movie and dramas like Waterloo road and more recently Emmerdale. It was reported in May this year in an interview on ITV's Loose Women that the 23-year-old fell out with his mother (right) following the show because money issues put a strain on his family life.

Ivan Mascarenhas, 49, (left) moved in with Matthew and Sandra Taylor (together right) in Northamptonshire, after he began drinking again and was thrown out by his wife. The vicar of St Mary's in Rushden took pity on him and gave him a spare room while he found his feet. And Rev Taylor even praised Ivan in church for battling alcoholism, not knowing that he was sleeping with his wife. Mr Mascarenhas said: 'It was like a fantasy and we couldn't control ourselves. It felt forbidden but wonderful at the same time. We both knew it was wrong and that it shouldn't happen'. Mother-of-two Sandra is understood to have told her husband of the affair in recent weeks and appears to have been forgiven. She is said to feel 'shame and sadness' about what happened.

WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT AND NUDITY - Mother-of-two Aly Tate (pictured left and right) underwent a double mastectomy in 1997 after finding a number of lumps in her chest and later had silicone implants to reconstruct her breasts, but has since had 21 operations. Her tragic condition means she has now consigned herself to being single for the rest of her life because of her body (inset) and admits her children, Nick and Alex, are the only thing that have kept her going. Aly, from Sheffield, is now considering legal action against the NHS because of the trauma she has suffered, and is also warning other women against having the same treatment.

Investigators on the Greek island where Ben Needham (inset) vanished in 1991 have told his mother Kerry Needham to 'prepare for the worst' as work begins (left and right) in Kos in the search for possible remains. The dig comes after a witness came forward to suggest Ben may have been crushed to death by a digger near a farmhouse his grandparents were renovating at the time of the youngster's disappearance. But Ms Needham said she was 'angry' when police told her about the tip-off and she now lives in fear that each day will bring the 'worst news possible'.

Just a decade after taking to the skies as a teenage air cadet, Kate McWilliams, from Carlisle, has proved she is a real high flier - by becoming the world's youngest commercial pilot at the age of 26. Miss McWilliams (pictured left and right with her colleague Luke Elsworth), a rising star of budget airline easyJet's crew, has been promoted from first officer to captain, a feat usually achieved by much older pilots. After taking up flying in the air cadets aged 13, Miss McWilliams made her first solo flight aged 16 and went on to train as a pilot on her 19th birthday. She said she gets quizzed about her age by cabin crew and passengers almost every day and most are 'impressed' to learn she has fast-tracked her way to the cockpit.

Jeremy Paxman's childhood was punctuated with beatings, using sticks, shoes, cricket stumps, bare hands - pretty much anything his vile-tempered father Keith had to hand, writes JANE FRYER. The former Newsnight presenter, who also presented University Challenge (left), asks in his forthcoming memoir, A Life In Questions, 'Did I love my father?' The journalist added: 'My feelings ranged from resentment to passionate hatred'. Jeremy was sent to Malvern College (right), where he felt an imposter, an outsider and never at ease. And then on to St Catherine's College, Cambridge, to study English. Paxman (inset) joined the BBC as a trainee when he was 24. It was about this time his father packed up and left.

There was bound to be sense of fashion rivalry when First Lady Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau met the Duchess of Cambridge but on this occasion, Sophie's style proved no match for Britain's future queen. While Kate's designer dress, matching hat, nude heels and eye-catching brooch was deemed flawless, experts said Sophie's outfit was let down by a mis-matching purple felt hat.

Natascha Kampusch was just 10 years old when she was abducted by a loner named Wolfgang Priklopil (top inset) and held captive for eight-and-a-half years in a cellar hidden in the basement of his house (bottom left) near Vienna, in Austria. Natascha, now 28, inherited the estate after Priklopil committed suicide when she escaped in 2006 (her first TV interview pictured inset left). She now lives in the home most weekends (main) and still meticulously cleans it - just as she was once instructed to do under threat of punishment by her kidnapper.

The Countess of Wessex has completed her epic 445-mile bike ride from Edinburgh's Palace of Holyroodhouse to Buckingham Palace in support of the Duke of Edinburgh Award's 60th anniversary. The 51-year-old said she was 'overwhelmed' as she pedalled through the gates of Buckingham Palace where she was embraced by her proud family. Crowds clapped and cheered as she cycled down The Mall on her bike and towards the finish line. Spending some eight hours a day cycling, and up to five hours in the saddle, Prince Philip thought she was 'slightly mad' for partaking. Upon finishing her gruelling challenge, the Countess looked delighted to see her husband Edward (left) and she received a warm welcome - and a big hug - from her son and daughter, Lady Louise Windsor (inset) and James Viscount Severn (right).

Officers were on guard outside the hotel room in Gran Canaria (inset) last night as Gareth Bale's fiancee Emma Rhys-Jones (left with Bale) is 'scared stiff' the couple could be targeted next. The 25-year-old's family have endured several arson attacks in south and north Wales in the past few days and are understood to have gone into hiding. The troubles appear to have been sparked by the disappearance of her cousin Epiphany Dring (right), last seen five weeks ago and believed to be carrying a 'suitcase containing £300,000, cocaine and Rolex and Kors watches'.

Constructions workers in Brazil had quite the surprise when they discovered a giant anaconda on the site. The explosion of a cave during construction work at the Belo Monte dam in the municipality of Altamira in Para Brazil left workers frightened. But they got an even bigger scare when a giant snake weighing 400kg and measuring 10 metres emerged from the explosion. 

Prue Leith met retired clothes designer John Playfair (both pictured), 69, at a dinner party five years ago. He wooed her with home-cooked suppers and the pair regularly travel the UK and abroad together, taking week-long road trips. Prue says being in love at 70 is the same as love aged 17 and adds that John has given her a whole new 'lease of life'. He brought up the idea of marriage to her in Namibia and the couple plan to tie the knot in Edinburgh, where John is from.

America's athletes came together to pay tribute to Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez (right) Sunday after his life was cut short in a tragic boating accident in Florida. Baseball and football teams alike held moments of silence for the Cuban-born 24-year-old, who died after a boat he was on struck a Miami Bay jetty at high speed and overturned at around 3.30am. The Mets posted up a jersey with Fernandez's name and number on it (inset). But few were as moved as his team. Teammate Dee Gordon (left, main image) was visibly upset as he paid tribute by a specially decorated mound at the Marlins' stadium. And David Samson, president of the team said: 'This is not just about today or tomorrow. Jose is a member of this family for all time.'

A concerned Reddit user Fort-Glen has shared a bizarre image of a woman in a wedding dress (main) walking on her own at 7am on Monday at the Box Hill Central shops (inset), west of Melbourne. Some Reddit users commented on the post suggesting she either had a big night out or was suffering from a mental illness.

These recipes will have you calling out 'supper's ready!' in an hour or less. In addition to being delicious, they are also recommended for those with a heart condition, or at risk of one. Try mushroom margarita pizzas (top centre), rainbow pepper steak fajitas (top right) or meatballs with tabbouleh (bottom centre). Later, treat your tastebuds to some spiced black forest crumble (bottom right).

Disturbing pictures have emerged of the life of dolphins in Indonesia's travelling circuses. The animals are captured from the wild and then trained to do flips (top right), tricks (main) and jump through hoops for audiences in chlorine filled swimming pools across the country's main island of Java. When the show is over, the animals are then put in plastic tanks, loaded into the back of trucks, and then taken to the next town to perform. Animals rights campaigners say the circuses are cruel and also feature other endangered animals such as sun bears (above on a bike) and cockatoos.

Mandie Pistol, from Las Vegas, was filmed walking in on her boyfriend with another woman (pictured inset) before using the taser gun on him. A video, which has been viewed over two million times, shows her claiming that she knows her boyfriend has been cheating on her for 'quite some time'. Mandie says: 'He doesn't know that I found out that he's been cheating on me for quite some time now. What he doesn't seem to remember is that he got me this taser for Christmas. F*** him.'

The mysterious discovery was made during a £1m refurbishment of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham. An old larder can still be seen in the underground homes (top right), which date back more than 200 years, while wooden window and door frames remain intact. It is believed the tunnels leading from the underground homes, which may have been occupied by domestic staff, led to other parts of Stockton.

The skeleton was discovered by archaeologists working at the site of a quarry near Dorchester, Dorset. Experts believe the male was aged about 25 at the time of his death. He was buried in a small cemetery about 2,000 years ago but his is the only skeleton to have survived because the bones were so well preserved by the stone coffin. Evidence of 11 other burials at the same site was also discovered but there is little left of the remains.

The now 25-year-old who most people only knew as the naked swimming baby (inset) from the cover of Nirvana's iconic album, Nevermind, has recreated the image for the record's 25th anniversary. Spencer Elden (left) initially wanted to honor the band by posing naked, as he did 25 years ago. But when presented the idea, the photographer responded that 'he thought that would be weird' so Elden wore his swim shorts instead. Elden, who is now an artist, obviously doesn't remember anything about the photo shoot, but he said it still 'means something to me'. When the baby photo was taken in 1991, Elden's parents were paid $200. The fish hook snagged on the dollar bill in the photo was later added in digitally. When asked earlier this month to recreate the image by photographer John Chapple, Spencer Elden received just $200 to do it again. Nirvana's album, Nevermind which was released 25 years ago Saturday, was the second album for the American rock band that is arguably the defining album of the grunge movement.

The elevator will allow vessels to pass the dam across the Yangtze River in Hubei Province, central China. The 550ft-high structure is able to lift vessels carrying a weight of up to 3,000 tonnes. The new elevator cuts down the time it takes to pass the dam to around 40 minutes, compared to the four hours it takes to pass via the ship lock. The Three Gorges Dam is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world.
