Arnold Mballe Sube and his wife Jeanne, 33, currently share their three-bedroom, end-of-terrace home in Luton, Bedfordshire (inset), with their eight young children but describe it as 'terrible'. Mr Sube moved his family to Britain from France in 2012 so that he could study mental health nursing at the University of Bedfordshire. Luton Borough Council housed them in a hotel for almost four months before they moved to their current property.

Less than three weeks after the flame went out on South America's first Olympics, Rio kicked off another 11-days of sport with the stadium surprisingly sold out after fears it would be empty. The relief of Paralympic chiefs and Rio organizers was obvious after days of anxiety and cutbacks with International Paralympic Committee president Sir Philip Craven admitting it was the worst build-up to a modern Games. It was only earlier today, Sir Philip revealed, that money promised by Rio to pay for the travel costs of athletes had been paid while a surge in ticket sales - 1.6-million of the 2.5 million have been sold - means that unlike the Olympics, many of the stadiums will be full. Aaron Wheelz stole the show early on with a spectacular jump in his wheelchair down a 55ft ramp (left) - the height of a six story building.

Nothing ages the skin like the sun. And keeping out of it has become the simple, age-resisting solution that has taken Hollywood by storm. Hollywood beauties Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett, Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman and Christina Hendricks are heralding the return of old-school alabaster glamour, reminiscent of a time when female stars always boasted milky skin, so that their complexions shone in black and white.

Seven-year-old Zane Gbangbola (left) died in his sleep in February 2014 after the outside of his home near the Thames was engulfed in flood water (inset). His parents Nicole Lawler and Kye Gbangbola (right) always believed the water was contaminated with toxic hydrogen cyanide from a nearby lake built on a former landfill site and demanded a full inquiry into what had happened. But a coroner today slammed the pair for providing 'inaccurate evidence' at the lengthy inquest into their son's death as he ruled his death was a result of a petrol pump at the family home which was being used to clear the flood water. Woking Coroner's Court heard how the pair used the pump in the basement for up to six hours on the day, causing deadly fumes to reach Zane's upstairs bedroom while he slept. The couple had told the coroner that the pump was only 'tested' for a few minutes and that it was switched off before lunchtime, but this was rejected by the coroner.

All attention was all on Candice Brown thanks to the emotional meltdown she had when her chocolate, salted caramel and pecan brittle brioche (bottom inset) did not turn out as planned. Sensing she was having trouble, three of her fellow bakers offered to help take her bread out of its tin, but when it collapsed she screeched 'oh no, I've squashed it!' She was then heard muttering 'it looks horrendous' and scrunched her face up, before burying her head in her hands (left). The judges shared her concerns, with Paul Hollywood saying: 'It has collapsed, which makes it look a mess, but it is down to the eat on this.'

Dave Hopper called new head Matthew Tate's actions 'disgusting' and 'abhorrent' outside Hartsdown Academy (inset), Margate, where students were turned away again today after fifty were refused entry yesterday. Mr Hopper, an ex-policeman, was filmed confronting Mr Tate (pictured), accusing him of 'moving the goalposts' after his daughter Kim was sent home for not wearing a blazer yesterday, then told today that her shoes were inappropriate. She had been allowed back on site the previous day with her black, suede, small-heeled shoes, but Mr Tate today told Mr Hopper that he must buy new ones.

Around 50 young pupils have been sent home from the Hartsdown Academy in Kent after breaching 'Gestapo-style' uniform rules - but you can tell which child made it through the gates? Kim Hopper (left), William King (centre) and Aleasha Williams (right) all attend the school but only one of them was allowed to enter because their uniform did not break the new rules. This morning, a further twenty students were denied access to the school for uniform breaches, bringing the total to around 50. Defiant head teacher Mr Tate today stood up for his policy and wanted to send a 'clear message' that he is standing by the majority of the children and parents.

The latest head-scratcher to sweep Facebook has had over 500,000 comments as puzzlers desperately try and work out the value of three basic symbols: a horse, a horseshoe and a cowboy boot. It sounds simple enough but the infuriatingly hard-to-grasp solution has foxed plenty of those trying to complete it. One user even wrote: 'The right answer doesn't exist and it will never be shared', while others who worked out the missing number, begged to differ.

The billionaire, 51, joked 'I've just been the casino' as he put hundreds in £50 notes into an airline-style security box as he entered the retailer's headquarters in Shirebrook, Derbyshire (left and centre). The controversial businessman then lifted up his trouser legs (right) before laughing uproariously as he stuffed the £50 notes (inset) back into his pocket. Mr Ashley was taking journalists on a tour of the warehouse where conditions for staff were described as similar to a Soviet gulag or a Victorian workhouse. He was forced to apologise in June when it was revealed Sports Direct staff had not been paid the minimum wage because they had been forced to spend unpaid time going through the same security checks he went through this afternoon. Earlier his attempts to charm shareholders and staff faltered when he lost his temper about the company's poor working conditions. Amid heated exchanges at the AGM this morning, Mr Ashley clashed with members of Unite blaming the union for business's problems and accusing them of 'showboating'. He said: 'It's probably your fault that we're in this mess'.

Tom Hiddleston is leaning on friends following his break-up from Taylor Swift. In exclusive photos obtained by DailyMail.com, the 35-year-old was seen having a heart-to-heart with the guys on Wednesday on Australia's Gold Coast. It is the first time Tom has been pictured since news of the split broke on Tuesday.

Lucy Frazer, representing South East Cambridgeshire, came close to being left red-faced as she switched her legs during May's praise for Team GB's Olympic heroes. But that didn't stop eagle-eyed Twitter users from spotting what they described as a scene from the film Basic Instinct.

Adam and Serena, from the Midlands, allowed the camera crew from Inside Birmingham Children's Hospital to film their nine-month-old son Leyton's battle for life after he choked on a small piece of plastic at home and had to be revived. The couple say they hope documenting their son's tragic death on television will raise awareness about the dangers of choking. (Pictured: Adam and Serena by their son's bedside, Leyton after being admitted to hospital. Inset, Leyton before the accident)

Richard Clark, 36, has spent more than a decade selling supercars to high profile customers including England footballer Jack Wilshere (top right) and Geordie Shore stars Charlotte Crosby (left) and Gary Beadle (bottom right). He also offers a customisation service, painting, engraving and embellishing the vehicles to his clients' specifications. His ability to satisfy even the most outrageous A-list demands has earned him the nickname 'The Solution' among those in the know.

Next time you're given a handful of change in a shop, stop and look before chucking it back in your pocket, purse or a jar. Earlier this year, a 2p coin sold for almost £1,400 at auction because it was silver instead of copper (top left). We reveal other more common coins that could be worth more than you think - which include a 50p coin issued with a picture of the iconic Kew Gardens pagoda (top centre), a £2 coin issued with an image from the 2002 Commonwealth Games (top right), a 50p bearing an image of Peter Rabbit (bottom left), a 2p coin mistakenly saying 'new pence (bottom centre) and a 50p coin issued to mark the European single market (bottom right).

His naked torso and daring deeds have helped Poldark to shoot to success. But it seems that even Aidan Turner needs a helping hand at times, as the actor was seen switching places with a stunt double (bottom inset) on the drama's set, in Gloucestershire, on Monday.  Sat astride a towering black charger, the 33-year-old star initially filmed some shots riding himself, but it seems the rest of the scene called for a professional's touch.

The Paulding Light is a phenomenon near the Wisconsin border in the upper peninsula of Michigan that has left locals confounded and filled visitors with awe for half a century. The unincorporated area of Paulding is so tiny it doesn't even have census information. But every year dozens of people come out to see the mystery light for themselves. In 2010, Jeremy Bos, who was a grad student at Michigan Tech at the time, decided to find the origin of the light for himself. He brought a group of students out to observe the light and solve the mystery once and for all.

A hilarious new video shows a group of children each sitting down for dinner with their eyes glued to their screens - before their family members are subtly replaced. Despite the new parents and siblings being of wildly different appearances, the children still don't look up from their devices. The new families take their place around the table. But when one pushes the pepper grinder - which has been activated with a device to turn off the house's WiFi - the children finally look up.

Ex-footballer Jamie Milligan, 36, got married to his partner Mandy in a beautiful ceremony in Wrea Green, Lancashire. His best man Danny McKenzie had everyone in fits of laughter by showing a hilarious video of him trying to rush back to his house to find his speech notes. The 11-minute film shows him frantically sprinting out of the reception (centre), before he begins an epic five mile run to get home (top right). Along the way he uses a pair of roller skates (bottom right), and even stops at the traffic lights (top left). Reaching his house at long last he has wait to do his laundry (bottom left), before he finally calls a cab back to the reception, where he gets a standing ovation.

Former Miss Bosnia Slobodanka Tosic, 30, was found guilty of trying to lure gang boss Djordje Zdrale (top inset) to his death in 2006 after inviting him out on a date where rival gunmen were lying in wait. Zdrale was wounded in the assassination attempt but managed to escape. Tosic (left and right) was accused of being part of a major crime syndicate based in Serbia.

A soldier working as a bodyguard during the G20 summit in China has been hailed as the 'prettiest bodyguard' on the country's social media. She has been identified as Shu Xin, a soldier from the People's Liberation Army. In 2013, she was named one of the 10 most beautiful People's Liberation Army soldiers.

Student Jakob Lawrence posted the clip of his row on the streets of Hull. In the shocking incident the 19-year-old passed through a traffic calmer despite the driver having priority, and his body-cam footage has already divided opinion. Yet the young man claims he had already moved past the point where he would have expected the oncoming motorist to let him through. Jakob, who was not wearing a helmet, uploaded the footage to his YouTube page.

Princess Märtha Louise, 44, announced her divorce from her husband of 14 years, Ari Behn, in August (pictured together in June 2015, and with their three daughters in 2014). In a new webinar she describes the divorce process as 'difficult and tedious'. She wrote: 'You can work at being more honest with yourself, and then deal directly with your unique and deep feelings.'

The elderly man was driving his red Seat to an appointment at Warwick Hospital, when he ploughed into three vehicles and smashed into the outside of a building where a lecture was taking place. Emergency crews were called to cut his wife, who was in the passenger seat, from the crashed car.

Riders of Ely & District Cycling Club were biking through Cambridgeshire when shockingly a driver decided to mount the grass verge and overtake them using the cycle path - despite no cars coming from the other direction and the fact that all the riders were in single file. After making his pass the impatient motorist made a hand gesture and shouted (below right): 'If you are cycling on the road then I'll drive on the path.' The scene was captured on camera along Rampton Road on the way to Cottenham.

The Beverly Hills mansion that is featured in iconic movies The Godfather and The Bodyguard, and provided a romantic retreat for John F Kennedy and his new bride Jackie on their honeymoon, is being listed for a whopping $195 million. The historic mansion, set on six acres of land close to Sunset Boulevard, has had only four owners since it was built in the 1920s, but countless A-list celebrities, royalty and high-profile figures have been guests there. From the honeymooning Kennedys, to parties for Rihanna and Prince Albert of Monaco, the legendary Beverly House had become nearly as famous as those who have graced its rooms. The sprawling estate, which includes a 50,000sq ft house, cascading waterfalls leading to a swimming pool, and a two-story library, is a mix of period features and luxurious flourishes.

An anonymous person with severe depression posted pictures of their bedroom online to provide some insight into how hard it is to even do household chores. The pictures, which have been seen 300,000 times were posted anonymously by the Imgur user who is suffering from severe depression. The user described themselves as feeling 'at peace' after tackling the mess, writing: 'I know it's not a big victory, but for me it means the world to just be able to have my door open if people come over.'

The Duchess of Cornwall, 69, visited the animal shelter in South London where she met a British bulldog called Winston - who stuck his head up Camilla's skirt while greeting her (pictured right). The royal visited the dogs home in order to open a new multi-million pound hospital in south London. Elsewhere in the capital Prince Charles visited Shadwell Fire Station in order to reopen the newly refurbished building.

Timelapse footage shows water rushing across the beach at the Hopewell Rocks in Canada, reaching terrifying four-storey heights. At low tide tourists wander amid the natural beauty of the impressive rock structures - which stand between 40 and 70ft tall - but several hours later when the sea rises it becomes a haven for kayakers exploring the very tip of the formations.

The babies, which have yet to be named, are Rothschild's giraffes - one of the rarest sub-species of the animal in the world with less than 2,500 left in the wild. The first male giraffe arrived on August 9 to five-year-old mother Bwindi, and amazingly managed to untangle his legs to stand after just 20 minutes. Another five-year-old giraffe, Akacia, then gave birth to a healthy baby girl on Sunday afternoon. The duo - who have the same dad, five-year-old Rufus - already tower above some of their keepers, at a staggering six feet tall.

Lance Stewart tried to complete the stunt for a YouTube video in late August - but the clip turned horribly wrong. It begins with Lance happily goofing around with friends in his backyard as a partner throws various pieces of fruit at him. Lance, armed with two swords, tries to slice the fruit as it comes flying in his direction (left, center and right). But suddenly, Lance lets out a heart-stopping scream, followed by a string of terrified 'Oh my God's. Then, Lance dramatically faints, sending his friends in a panic. But Lance soon wakes up in a terror and cries, looking terrified as he sees the blood on his hands and clothes. He is pictured inset as he realizes what has just happened.

An amusing video from the dash-cam of delighted driver Justin Scrutton captured the scene on Sunday. The cat used the pedestrian crossing on St Vincent's Road, Dartford. Two cars stopped for it and Mr Scrutton, 44, had to take a moment to sit back and applaud the moggy for its politeness and expert use of the zebra crossing.

The crash, which was captured on camera by a passing motorist, happened as the girls and their mother tried to cross the road at a pedestrian crossing in the village of Mironezhya in Russia. Footage, released by police, hows the girls starting to cross the road before noticing the speeding Lada and trying to run back to their mother. But they don't make it in time and their traumatised mother can only look on as the 24-year-old driver injures the five-year-old but kills her sister aged six.

The skyline in part of Kent has been altered forever after the tallest concrete structure to be demolished in the UK was blown up. Experts detonated the 801ft (244m) chimney of the defunct Grain A Power Station on Wednesday, creating some 40,000 tonnes of concrete rubble and stacks of dust and smoke. Taller than 55 double-decker buses stacked on top of each other and more than double the height of Big Ben, the structure has been a prominent feature of the Medway skyline for more than 30 years. In a split second, the final controlled demolition marked the end of an era for the many people who worked at the sprawling plant, or who live in the local area.

This is the bizarre moment two men appeared to spot an alien while loitering at a gas station in Peru. CCTV footage shows the men standing outside a gas station. In the corner of the frame, a small glowing light can be seen. The light begins to move - and it becomes apparent it's a figure. The men do not notice the figure at first. But after a while, one catches a glimpse of it and moves closer. The figure darts away, but later appears back in shot.

The Texas couple, named Burt and Carol, who are thought to be in their 80s, were filmed dancing to the Mark Ronson hit in a restaurant in Nova Scotia, Canada. They later told one of the musicians in the band that they came to 'dance' and they impressed onlookers and waiting staff so much they earned a round of applause when the song ended.

The clip of the pair from San Francisco, California, shows the 'obviously inebriated' husband 'perform[ing] a series of sexually suggestive and other inappropriate acts' on his other half during the reception last year, the lawsuit reads. The video also captured the bride crying in front of the guests and her family's attempt to console her. They initially joked about the video, but a few months later they found part of the clip had been uploaded on YouTube, and had been shared around the world. In the lawsuit, the bride claims it was shared two million times in just a few days. The bride, identified as Jane Doe in the suit, was also horrified at comments left underneath the video, 'ridiculing and personally criticizing' her. She says the experience has left her 'shocked, mortified, anguished, humiliated and shamed'. As a result she has taken George Street Video, the firm who recorded the footage to federal court in northern California. But legal experts insist the company own copyrights to the video.
