Sofia Hellqvist, 30, will become Princess Sofia of Sweden when she marries the country's Prince Carl-Philip tomorrow. But although every inch the royal now, she hasn't always been so demure and, along with a stint as a glamour model and being crowned 'Miss Slitz 2004', she also appeared in a reality TV show. During her stint on the controversial Paradise Hotel, she was seen having her bottom massaged by a male contestant and kissing American porn star Jenna Jameson.

Lucy East, 37, from Poole in Dorset, was devastated when she returned home from work to discover her neighbours had built a 9ft tall brick wall just six inches from the bedroom window of her £250,000 bungalow. Incredibly, although the wall blocks the lower half of Miss East's window, the hastily-built construction does not need planning permission due to recent changes to permitted development rights under the Town and Country Planning Act.

Larry and Ruthanne Dolezal (center and circled at her 2000 wedding, left) spoke from their home in Troy, Montana on Friday after they revealed that their daughter, Spokane's NAACP Chapter President Rachel Dolezal (right and left as a child), has been misleading people about her ethnicity for years. Dolezal, who has been a civil rights activist across Idaho and Washington and works part-time as an Africana Studies professor at Eastern Washington University, is now facing a city ethics probe for falsely claiming on an application that she was black. Her parents have said she has cut them out because she fears they will blow her cover. 'Rachel has chosen to distance herself from the family and be hostile towards us,' her mother said. 'She doesn't want us to be where she is, she doesn't want to be seen with us because it ruins her image.'

The video, recorded by a camera mounted on another cyclist's bike, appears to show a man refusing to get out of the road at a set of traffic lights. As the cyclist attempts to get through, he is then struck to the face, knocking him to the floor. The incident was recorded in Shadwell, east London earlier this month before it was loaded onto YouTube.

Eleanor Hawkins (pictured), 23, was set to walk free today after being sentenced to three days in prison and given a £850 fine, but will she will spend another night behind bars because paperwork for her release was not signed on time. A police source said the aeronautical engineering graduate from Derby cried when she was told by a warden she would therefore have to spend a forth night in jail. She is among a group of four Western backpackers arrested after photos emerged of them stripping naked on Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia.

The image (pictured) which quickly went viral, was taken by a passer-by and shows PC Chris Stevens of Northamptonshire Police carrying the heavy shopping of an unnamed gentleman in Kingsthorpe. The 83-year-old pensioner had caught the wrong bus and was struggling to get home when PC Stevens (inset) spotted him leaning against a wall.

Revellers on the Isle of Wight are bracing themselves for a downpour, with a huge storm set to batter the music festival later this evening. Festivalgoers were seen armed with umbrellas as they left their tents for an evening of entertainment (right and bottom centre), with The Prodigy headlining what could be a very muddy main stage by the end of the night. The forecast torrential rain and thunderstorms follow one of the hottest days of the year so far, with tanned (and sunburned, left) music fans dancing through temperatures of more than 25C.

Sarah Gurling (left) and Carole Macdonald (right) were joined by friends and foes from across the political divide as they gathered at the St John the Evangelist church in Caol, Fort William, to bid farewell to one of Westminster's most colourful characters. Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg and party grandée Sir Ming Campbell were joined by those from opposing parties, including former Labour spin doctor Alistair Campbell and former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, as they marked the life of the former Lib Dem leader.

Meir Kalmanson, the video's creator, told Daily Mail Online he always got a positive reaction when people turned around and saw him dancing. Meir, who is the creative director of AMK Productions, can be seen inspiring people to join him as he busts a move in Times Square and gets one couple laughing when they find out he's waving his arms behind them. Meir said people across the globe have been tweeting him to say the video, which has been viewed more than 8,000 times since it was posted on Wednesday, helped them through a bad day.

Michael Murphy (inset), of Ludlow, Shropshire targeted Rhiannon Davies, 40, and her husband Richard Stanton, 45 (pictured together left) after they spoke out to criticise the mistakes made by the NHS over the death of their Kate Stanton-Davies (pictured right with her mother). Baby Kate was born with anaemia at Ludlow Community Hospital in March 2009 but died six hours later. An inquest found the baby would have survived if she had been delivered elsewhere. But a day after the couple appeared on TV to criticise medics involved, Murphy posted a video on YouTube attacking them. The 43-year-old claimed the way the tragedy was reported was a 'fabrication' and accused her parents of using the death to attack the NHS. Murphy was cleared of a charge of harassment at Telford Magistrates Court on Thursday but was given a restraining order for life. He was also banned from ever contacting or writing about the couple or their family ever again.

Paolo Ballesteros, 32, from the Philippines, who has more than a million followers on social media, has now used his prodigious make-up skills to take on a whole new host of stars. Last year, the model, TV presenter and actor rose to internet fame with his uncanny pictures, now he's turned his attention to American TV's first family including (clockwise from top left) Caitlyn Jenner, Kim Kardashian during her platinum phase, ex-wife Kris Jenner and daughter Kylie Jenner.

Wellington born artist Jono Rotman has spent nearly eight years documenting the Mighty Mongrel Mob, New Zealand's largest and most notorious gang. The chilling images of the group, who are infamous for their bloody clashes with rival gangs like Black Power, offer a window into an underworld which usually operates in the shadows. After meeting a gang liaison officer who put him in contact with the mob, Rotman visited the homes of hundreds of members to shoot over 200 portraits. Like most gangs, the Mob, who formed in Wellington and Hawkes Bay in the 1960s, have a stringent code against outsiders, preferring to operate in the shadows-which makes the chilling snapshots that much more spectacular.

With unflattering lab coats and enormous goggles (top left and bottom left picture) to catch their tears (main picture), Twitter was awash with women scientists telling leading biochemist Sir Tim Hunt they were #distractinglysexy. Sir Tim, a Royal Society fellow, was roundly criticised over his claim women are a distraction in the laboratory. At a conference of science journalists, he provoked outrage by saying: 'Let me tell you about my trouble with girls. Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them, they cry.'

Polar bears feed mainly on seals, so Jon Aars at the Norwegian Polar Institute was shocked to see dolphins being devoured by a bear. The strange behaviour, seen in the Norwegian Arctic, may be due warmer waters causing the dolphins to find their way north earlier in the year. In the photos a visibly skinny old male bear devours one of the dolphins and appeared to have stored a second one under snow for later (inset) - something which scientist had never seen before.

Artist Anna Redwood has painted portraits of six of the last of the glorious 'Few' for this year's Daily Mail Chalke Valley History festival and to mark the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Around 3,000 pilots flew for RAF Fighter Command in the Battle of Britain, of which 537 were killed in action. The German air force, the Luftwaffe, lost 2,662 men. Among them were Flying Officer Ken Wilkinson, left, Wing Commander Tom Neil, centre, and Squadron Leader Tony Pickering, right.

Today was the first day of the fashion event London Collections: Men. Now in its seventh season, the style spectacular showcases increasingly eccentric clothes over four days in the capital. Christopher Shannon sent models down the runway in string bikinis (left), Rory Parnell-Moody revealed his cutout tops and Liam Hodges dressed a model in a print bomber jacket and shorts - accessorised with a mask.

British photographer Dan Callister, 39, captured the incredible moment a great white shark attempted to catch the seal off the coast of South Africa (main), leaping up at the animal from below the waves, snapping at its tail. The nimble seal pup managed to escape being eaten, but was left with a horrifying hole in its back after the encounter (inset). The attacked happened close to Seal Island, which is home to hundreds of the animals, and dozens of sharks that hunt them.

A new craze dubbed the 'Barbie back' - a lean, toned back with two distinctive dimples - has prompted image-conscious women to rush out for liposuction. But celebrity personal trainer Pierre Pozzuto has created a new fitness programme he has called the Back Attack (pictured). The workout promises to deliver big results, without the need to go under the knife.

Jane Thorpe, 38 (main picture), was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer nearly four years ago and was later told she had just a matter of years to live. But, despite the toll that treatment had on her body, Ms Thorpe decided to set herself a challenge - building herself an entire new home. So the IT worker bought a bungalow in a village near Rotherham before bulldozing it to the ground (bottom left) and rebuilding it again - something she had dreamed of doing since she was a child. After a struggle to get planning permission, she started rebuilding the walls, with the help of family and friends, in April last year. She moved into the house in December, while undergoing chemotherapy (inset right) and has since been working on minor adjustments. But Ms Thorpe says she loves to sit and watch the birds in her new garden with her Labrador Tia by her side and is 'incredibly proud' of what she has achieved.

Parish councillor Valerie Archer, 69, from Wainscott, Kent, went on a diet and dropped from 16st 9lb (left) to 10st 10lb so she could fit into her gown again for her 50th wedding anniversary party (right). She last wore the high-necked dress on her wedding day on May 29, 1965 (inset) when she married her cancer-survivor husband Trevor, 79.

An ordinary looking semi-detached home, the property was the birthplace to one of the globe's best-selling music artists of all time and is available to buy for just over half a million pounds. Sir Elton (pictured playing the piano at the home as a child - which was used on the inside cover of the 1973 album Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player) was born at the three-bedroom house (pictured) in Pinner, Middlesex on March 25, 1947, where he went onto live with his parents and grandmother until the age of 11.

Moving along the horizontal pole is easy for the tiny creatures but one sloth found it hard to lift its tiny body up the pole while getting some exercise at the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica. Hanging upside down at one point (top left), it cries out for help and onlookers offer a little guidance for the inquisitive animal.
