Now, ten months sober, she’s turned her trauma into purpose, founding SSKR to guide others through ketamine recovery—one voice at a time.

West End star Ruthie Henshall is revealing juicy details from her whirlwind romance with Prince Edward in her upcoming memoir, “The Showgirl and the Prince.” She recalls their five-year love affair, calling it her first serious relationship, and admits she was a flirty, leotard-wearing performer who loved a drink and a smoke — quite the contrast to his usual dating pool. Their breakup? Her demanding West End career. But they stayed close, even attending his 1999 wedding. She also hilariously recounts meeting Queen Elizabeth II — forgetting to curtsy and instead grabbing her hand! The book, set for July release, includes rare letters from Prince Edward that reignited the magic of that unforgettable time.

Private pension access is rising to age 57 by April 2028 — a major shift tied to the state pension age. If you’ve already set up drawdown or annuity before that date, you might be grandfathered in, but untouched funds will wait until 57. Don’t rush to cash out — experts like Martin Lewis say letting money grow longer is usually smarter. Nearly a third of people are already tapping pensions early, often to pay debts or help family — but this can leave you short later. If you’re close to 55, get free advice from MoneyHelper or Pension Wise before making any moves.

Mobile resellers are secretly keeping you overpaying by locking your phone payment and service into one flat rate—even after you’ve paid off your phone. You could be paying £20-30 extra monthly, adding up to hundreds wasted. Martin Lewis calls it a “dirty trick,” since these companies rely on you forgetting to switch once your contract ends. Unlike big networks, resellers don’t lower your bill after the phone is paid for. The fix? Know your contract end date and switch providers that day—or even sooner if you’ve already passed it. You can easily find SIM-only deals for as little as £10 a month. Awareness saves cash—don’t let them keep your money for a phone you already own.

Scotland fans heading to the US for the World Cup are facing major travel chaos as their ESTA visas keep getting revoked or stuck—just as they’re about to see Scotland play Haiti. First Minister John Swinney is now pressing US officials, as some supporters are being asked for proof of clean criminal records, even though they’ve traveled on the same ESTA before without issue. The US says it’s tightening security checks, but the Scottish government is urging a quick fix via the FIFA Pass System to avoid missing the match.

Phase Eight, the iconic women’s fashion brand with nearly 50 years of history, is preparing to shutter underperforming stores as part of a major cost-cutting push. With around 300 locations nationwide, the brand is facing declining sales amid shifting retail trends and the collapse of traditional department store partnerships — a blow that’s forced parent company TFG London to write off £30 million. Other TFG brands like Hobbs and Whistles are also struggling, especially in occasion wear, as online shopping surges and overheads climb. Already, a St Andrews store is clearing out ahead of closure, following recent exits in Dundee and Perth — raising alarms for remaining Scottish outlets. Over the next year, Phase Eight plans to “right-size” its UK footprint to survive in a tougher retail climate.
