When Sasha Cochrane's father Peter died after falling 30ft from scaffolding, no will was written - but a life insurance policy meant that she, her two younger sisters and two older half-sisters had a £120,000 inheritance pot to share between them. Just 19 at the time, a devastated Sasha (left), of Warrington, turned to her older half-sisters Amanda (centre), then 34, and Claire (right), 30, for help in coping with the loss.

Louise Hill, 36, and her husband Dan, 33, who appears on TV's Storage Hunters UK, say they want the best for their twins Isabella and Jacob having spent a long time trying to conceive through IVF. The three-month-old tots never wear the same clothes twice and instead go through smart gear from the likes of Prada, Dior, Chloe and Ralph Lauren. Dan, 33, told MailOnline: 'I'm known as Dapper Dan on Storage Hunters because I like wearing designer suits, so our twins are a reflection of us really. We wouldn't go out of the house looking scruffy so neither should our children. It's not just for the first 100 days we said we'd buy them designer clothes that's just where we are up to so far. We'll probably keep taking pictures of them in the new outfits every day up until they're at least one but we'll always buy them designer clothes.'

A shameful video has emerged which shows James Pearson, 21 (middle) - the son of club manager Nigel Pearson - Adam Smith, 22 (right), and Tom Hopper (left) taking part in a depraved sex session in Bangkok while the club was celebrating their sensational end-of-season run which saw it avoid relegation. Amid vile scenes which show the naked players dishing out a tirade of abuse to the women, one of the players can be heard shouting 'slit eye' while his friends laugh at the racist jibe. One of the young players also taunts one of the women for being f***** 'minging' before saying: 'She's an absolute one out of ten.' The footage - who includes a running commentary of the lewd sex acts - will be a huge embarrassment for the club manager, who is an outspoken ambassador for the Kick It Out scheme, the campaign to end racism in football.
