Welcome to Soho Farmhouse, the boho Butlin's that proves the old saying that when world-weary luvvies tire of London, they simply lift it up, transport it 90 minutes down the motorway. The Prime Minister has already been seen at one of its star-studded barn dances - after all, the 100-acre site near the village of Great Tew is a stone's throw from the grand country retreats of his Chipping Norton set. This former working farm, complete with 40 log cabins (pictured) with rustic metal bathtubs (bottom left), Le Creuset cookware and larders stocked with artisan food, is an offshoot of Soho House, the exclusive London private members' club for media types. Famous names including Princess Eugenie and Cressida Bonas (top left), Professor Green (second from left) and Jemima Khan (second from right, right) have all already been, while the likes of George and Amal Clooney have been invited to stay, too.

There is now a raft of cheap, easy-to-use software that automatically manipulates photos to make their subjects look thinner. And even celebrities, it seems, aren't immune. Some apps nip in your waist or boost your curves while leaving friends untouched. But the so-called 'skinny filter' apps can leave telltale signs - and when you're sharing the images with millions of fans on Instagram or Twitter, chances are that someone will spot them. And as these celebrity photo 'fails' prove, not every result is foolproof...

From the age of four, Bobbi Woodley's father conducted a campaign of rape and abuse under the noses of social workers, the police and prosecutors, who missed chances to stop him . Colin Goss, now 77, (inset) was finally brought to justice after a TV appeal and Bobbi's own detective work. He pleading guilty to seven charges including three of rape and was jailed for 18 years. Bobbi (pictured right today and left about the age when the abuse started) reveals she is 'haunted' by the abuse she suffered.

Eight men escaped death when their dinghy took on water and began to sink off the coast of Turkey in the same waters where tragic Syrian toddler Aylan died while trying to reach Europe with his family (top right). These men were luckier - they were rescued by Turkish coastguard with seconds to spare (bottom left). But, astonishingly, after having their names taken down, they were sent on their way to plan another attempt in the dangerous waters (right).

Not many of us would choose to be fat. Yet speaking to some patients in my clinic, I do begin to wonder whether obesity for some people is almost a self-fulfilling prophesy. We think we can't lose weight, so we give up trying. Scientists have now proven that some of us are genetically predisposed to being obese. So we really can blame it on our genes. But that doesn't mean fatness has to be our fate. I would say that if you tend to 'run to fat' you need to use that knowledge to your advantage - and you need to try even harder than everyone else. I'm not just speaking from the perspective of a doctor but also a personal one. Because, you see, despite appearances there is a great big fat person inside me, just dying to get out.

EXCLUSIVE: Paul Coulston, Clare's husband of 15 years, and father to Finlay and Evelyn, pictured together left, died suddenly aged 40 from the effects of Motor Neurone Disease. But more poignant still is the prospect that one day soon the children may lose Clare too. She faces a death sentence after being diagnosed in 2009 with cancer. Now that Paul has gone, Clare's thoughts have turned to her own future, which remains perilously uncertain, and that of her family. But even though her cancer could return at any time, Clare, 39, from Ulverston, Cumbria, is determined to stay positive and strong for the children (together right).

Genevieve Dunne's barge (pictured, middle) was moored off Regent's Canal in London when a heavy downpour flooded it last month. The 30-year-old (left), who has lived on the boat for two years, lost all of her possessions apart from a small handful of clothes due to water damage (right, top and bottom). The houseboat has since been pumped and refloated but Ms Dunne now faces a crippling repair bill. Close friends are hoping a GoFundMe page set up on her behalf will help her get back on her feet - with more than £6,000 already raised.

Nobody's wardrobe works harder than the Queen's. Every outfit worn in public is carefully calibrated to inspire or remind, to signal gratitude or respect, to convey a sense of power or familiarity. Her Majesty neither sets trends nor follows them - but while she is deaf to the siren call of fashion, she has her own singular style.

Tess Daly (pictured right, hosting Strictly with Claudia Winkleman) and her TV star husband Vernon Kay, along with BBC Radio 2 DJ Dermot O'Leary (bottom left) and former pop star Rachel Stevens (top left), are members of the £14 million Beaumont Film Partnership.The scheme, which allows investors to defer income tax bills, is now at the centre of a probe by the taxman. Similar partnerships have been successfully challenged in the courts by HMRC as being designed to avoid tax.

Five masked men stole 15 paintings from the home of Former Tory MP Esmond Bulmer and his wife, Susie (pictured together), in Bruton, Somerset, in March 2009. Two of the pieces are regarded as important works. Endymion by George Frederick Watts, inset left, is said to be worth £1 million. The other, Apple Blossom, inset right, is regarded as among British artist Sir George Clausen's finest works. The paintings have now been returned after private investigators succeeded where the police had failed. One sleuth involved in the operation is the man who recovered The Scream after it was stolen from an Oslo gallery in 1994.

For more than 50 years, the identities of members of the infamous Cambridge Spy Ring have been the stuff of debate and fevered speculation. Four - Donald Maclean (top left), Kim Philby (bottom left), Guy Burgess (top right), and Anthony Blunt (bottom, centre) - have been unmasked as Soviet agents. A fifth is believed to have been the Bletchley Park and MI6 officer John Cairncross (bottom right). Now author Andrew Lownie has unmasked a sixth Soviet spy at the heart of the Establishment - a brilliant MI6 physicist named Wilfrid Mann (right).

Aidan Turner sent Poldark ratings soaring when he thrashed his way through a cornfield bare chested (inset). Now BBC bosses are hoping the trick will work again in two new literary adaptations, both of which feature topless leading men. Ben Batt is to appear as Ted Burgess in The Go-Between (centre) while Richard Madden (right) will star in Lady Chatterley's Lover. Their female co-stars, including Joanna Vanderham (left) remain clothed, however.

Queensland residents be warned, there may be an enormous snake lurking right underneath your toilet seat. Snake catcher Elliot Budd, from Townsville, in north-east Queensland, was called out to a property in Mount Stewart after a group of tradesmen discovered a massive carpet python coiled up in the downstairs loo.

Two-year-old Matilda Wren, from Lincolnshire, presented the Olympic equestrian with the sparkly sticker (inset) when she stopped to speak to her at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials in Stamford, Lincolnshire (left, in the back of a Land Rover). While Zara Phillips has previously competed in the prestigious four-day event, this year the royal was on hand to judge the hotly-contested picnic competition. The 34-year-old royal (right) appeared in good spirits as she sipped wine and tasted pies and cakes before deciding on a winner.

Chemical engineer and MIT grad Dave Whitlock (seen left and right) has not showered in a dozen years because he wants to preserve bacteria on his skin. He helped found a company that sells a spray that contains live bacteria. Mother Dirt (inset), which is sold by the Cambridge-based company AOBiome, is odorless and feels like water.

An astonishing new documentary reveals how government-sponsored vigilante groups created to take down Mexican cartels have become the villains it vanquished. The government legalised so-called self-defence militias to rise up against the deadly Knights Templar cartel last year. They have now taken on their bitter enemies' business of extortion, kidnap and narco-trafficking - and torture anyone suspected of being involved with the Templars. Deep in the jungles of Meichoacan state, the group produces crystal meth - the drug which has destroyed entire communities both north and south of the US-Mexico border. Matthew Heineman, the director of 'Cartel Land', told MailOnline: At the end of it all, the cycle has repeated itself... The violence has continued, the kidnappings have continued, and things are as scary as every in Michoacan.'

At a concert in Philadelphia in the US the singer, 21, motioned for the banner reading 'Hi Harry. Your so nice' to be handed to him (pictured left), before wasting no time in fixing the omission. He took out a pen and added the missing apostrophe and letter 'e' to make it 'You're so nice' (middle). Looking unimpressed at having to fix the error, Harry then held up the corrected sign to show fans (right). Sixteen-year-old Taelor Ford later tweeted the One Direction star: 'Thank you for signing my poster and correcting my grammar!!'

These dramatic pictures show the moment a teenager wearing a burqa was paraded down a Spanish street after being arrested for allegedly recruiting other women to fight for ISIS in Syria. The 18-year-old Moroccan, clad in the full-length Islamic robe and veil, was led down the crowded road in Gandia, near Valencia, after being detained by counter-terror police. Dozens of locals watched as armed officers stood guard outside the young woman's door, while other policemen wore balaclavas as they carried away boxes of evidence from inside.

After decades of travel, Mail on Sunday Travel Editor Frank Barrett has found the perfect place to write a book about... Britain. And he's not alone. Britain has so much to offer, particularly with its picturesque landscape, which has captivated authors such as JK Rowling (inset) for centuries. Sights include the ruins of Tintern Abbey in Monmouthshire (centre) and the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire (right).

EXCLUSIVE: Rita Hunter, 60, from Liverpool, left and right with her husband Charlie on their wedding day, was first diagnosed with aggressive vulval cancer at the age of 52. Over the next eight years she battled the disease four more times, before getting the all-clear. Mrs Hunter, who is mother to James, now 24, pictured with his parents top centre, had been terrified of developing cancer after her mother Winifred and sister Pauline, bottom centre, died from cervical cancer at 54 and 34 respectively. Mrs Hunter said: 'I want to raise awareness of vulval cancer. Please don't ignore changes in your vulva, pain or rashes nearby.'

The brown hen was 'arrested' by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) on Wednesday on the toll plaza of the bridge (bottom left) - and now has multiple parties asking to take her in. The chicken, who is being called Chip in homage to the CHP, was taken to the Oakland Animal Shelter after patrolmen took her in.

During halftime of the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals preseason game on Thursday, Rocky the Mountain Lion carried out a late hit on a kid during a youth vs. mascot game. In the video, the kid who was among children from the Denver Boys and Girls Club, avoids a tackle by the Denver Broncos mascot, Thunder, before Rocky levels him out of bounds at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.

This is the heart-stopping moment that the pilot of a light aircraft came within seconds of a head-on collision with a microlight (pictured above) as he approached Nottingham City Airport. Moments before the pilot was forced to take evasive action his passenger can be heard saying: 'Oh look at that.' Both aircraft came within 30ft of each other during the near-miss. The shocked pilot later told air traffic control he was going to land and have a 'strong whiskey,'
