Wasps players are said to have engaged in 'riotous' behaviour and took part in 'weird sexual forfeits' on board the Hurlingham floating nightclub for a party on London's River Thames. Included in the party was stripper Keri Graham, 47, who once performed a lap dance for Simon Cowell on Britain's Got Talent. According to Ms Graham, some players took part in a 'weird' sexual forfeit involving beer bottles which left her 'feeling sick' during the party, which was arranged by the players, not the club.

Danielle Ames, 41, (pictured right and inset with her father Michael, who died suddenly in 2013) from Enfield, North London, was cut out of her father's £1million will. A judge dismissed her claim for a £300,000 share and told her to get a full-time job. Her father Michael's estate, including a smart house in Hertfordshire and a share in a successful glazing business, will instead go to Elaine Ames (left), his second wife and partner of 30 years, who, said the judge, needs it for her retirement.

Jeremy Paxman's stepmother Celia, from New Zealand, (left) has spoken out after in the Newsnight presenter's latest book he claims he had a bad relationship with his father (right) who was a bully. Among the novels and biographies that fill the bookshelves of Celia Paxman's tidy brick bungalow, one writer's works take pride of place. It is more than 30 years now since her distinguished stepson Jeremy published the first of his many books - a South American travelogue, as it happens - and the acerbic broadcaster and author has dutifully sent a copy of each successive one to Celia and, until his death six years ago, to his father Keith, Celia's husband. Most are inscribed 'To Dad, with much love, Jeremy'. Whether the former Newsnight host chooses to send Celia a copy of his latest work, however, remains to be seen. For after decades spent turning out well-received accounts of social and political history, with works including The English and The Political Animal, 66-year-old Paxman has finally turned his literary scrutiny upon himself - and in a most extraordinary fashion. Fiercely private, the broadcaster sheds barely any light on his own partner, Liz Clough, or their three children in his new memoir, A Life In Questions. Nor does he make more than cursory mention of his late mother, Joan. He does, however - and at some length - reveal a disconcerting animosity towards Keith, a former Royal Navy officer who left Britain in the mid-70s to find a new life in New Zealand and Australia. 'Did I love my father?' he asks himself. 'My feelings ranged from resentment to passionate hatred.'

Michael Gove (left) and Boris Johnson (right) were locked in a race row last night over the way they used the Australian-style points system in the immigration debate during the EU referendum. According to a new book, Brexit campaign chiefs knew the system would not work in the UK. But they used it in a 'cynical and merciless subliminal barrage' because British voters see Australia as white, not black. The extraordinary disclosure is made in a new book about the referendum, Breaking Point, by Gary Gibbon, the Political Editor at Channel 4 News. Leading Brexit figures constantly praised the Australian points system for curbing immigration, even though most experts said it would not be practical or effective in Britain for geographical and other reasons.

Speaking from her home in Berkshire, Julia Keys (far left) said her health had to 'take priority' now and that she was pressing ahead with divorce proceedings due to her husband's (left) 'disgusting' behaviour. Mrs Keys, 56, who has thyroid cancer, said the sports presenter had been 'bombarding her' with messages pleading for her to take him back and that it is having a negative impact on her health. She added she also blamed his mistress Lucie Rose (right), 27, because she 'thought she was our friend'.

It was all hands on deck in Canada today as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took to the water for the culmination of their eight-day royal tour. Kate beamed as she took to the helm of the tall ship, the Pacific Grace, sailing it under the guidance of crew members around the Victoria's picturesque harbour. On board they were joined by young people who are part of a national network of youth working to end stigma around mental health for their generation. And Kate - looking chic in a waterproof khaki jacket - even joked the Bosun's beard matched her brother James's. On the last day of engagements in Canada, William and Kate also visited the Cridge Centre for the Family - one of Victoria's most well-known charitable institutions which provides a range of services, including childcare, youth outreach, and support for women who have experienced domestic violence. The family - due to fly back to London tonight - are said to have thoroughly enjoyed their eight-day tour of western Canada, a trip which saw George and Charlotte undertake their first official engagement.

British ex-pats living in Portugal are said to be 'disgusted' at a tour being offered in Praia Da Luz that takes in various locations associated with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann (left). Among the stops are the apartment (top right) the then-three-year-old vanished from and a street (bottom right) where a friend of the family said she saw a 'mystery man carrying a child'. Her parents Kate and Gerry are understood to be 'distressed' at the development which comes as police funding for the continuing UK-led investigation is under threat.

Kate Moss's troubled toyboy Count Nikolai von Bismarck has moved out of the party-mad model's £8 million home less than a year after moving in - seeking refuge back at his mum's peaceful pad. Nikolai, 29, left Moss's North London lair around a week ago and since then has been spending nights at his mother Debonaire's palatial Belgravia home. On Thursday night, Kate, 42, met with her young lover for dinner at The Dorchester (right) but the pair left in separate cars at 10:45pm. Moss (left) was later seen arriving back home without him - but with six girlfriends in tow.

On the battlefield of Britain's mummy wars, a new heroine has arrived. Katie Kirby, fan of stiff drinks, sleep, and bribing children with biscuits, has written a book that will have mothers everywhere recognising themselves through the bleary eyes of another interrupted night. Hurrah For Gin, by the 36-year-old former advertising executive, will be published this week. It is crude, rude and funny, a gloriously irreverent account of early-years parenting illustrated with Katie's distinctive stick cartoons. Since her blog of the same name has half a million views per month, the book industry has already anointed it a Christmas bestseller. As an antidote to the Gina Ford school of perfect parenting, it has struck a chord. Hurrah For Gin covers everything from how to play dead when you have a hangover, to the seven stages of sleep deprivation, family summer hellidays (as Katie calls holidays) and the joys of chicken pox.

A man who died after a coach carrying Rangers fans overturned has been named by family as Ryan Baird, 39, from Sanquhar. Eighteen people were taken to hospital after the coach overturned at 1.15pm on the A76 near East Ayrshire. Witnesses said the vehicle swerved near a roundabout before it landed on its side on a grass verge. Mr Baird's cousin, Louise Evanne Baird, said he was 'amazing' and would be 'sadly missed'. His partner, Sarah Hughes, also paid tribute to him saying he had loved the club.

The former Shadow Chancellor and partner Katya Jones danced up a storm with a vigorous country-and-western, barn-dance style routine that even involved prop banjos.

Vulnerable women suffering emotional trauma after an abortion have been referred by the NHS to an extremist pro-life group where they are fed the lie that termination can cause breast cancer. Patients are left distraught by the devastating claim made by advisers at the Good Counsel Network - but which is dismissed by medical experts as untrue and 'damaging'. Yet one of Britain's biggest NHS mental health trusts, South West London and St George's, has been recommending patients to the London-based groups via leaflets and its website for five years. Despite its misleading advice, GCN was described until recently on the NHS website as 'a leading organisation in the field of mental health'. GCN - which was censured for misleading advertising under its former name - pays some activists a salary to stand outside abortion clinics, forcing women to run a gauntlet of haranguing protesters as they enter and leave.

Hands-free phones have proved a major boon for safety-conscious drivers wanting to talk behind the wheel. Now Zara Phillips has used her ingenuity to create her own version of the device so she can chat while riding her horse. The Queen's granddaughter was spotted at an equestrian event on Friday with a mobile phone tucked under the strap of her riding helmet, allowing her to hold a conversation while keeping both hands firmly on the reins. The horse-mad former Olympian, who was competing in the Dauntsey Park Horse Trials, in Wiltshire, was seen smiling broadly as she spoke over the navy blue mobile just after she had completed the dressage section on her horse Gladstone.

Rachel Trelfa, 31, and Nyomi Fee, 29 (pictured earlier this year outside court) met in Glenrothes, Fife, before returning to their cells this week, and were spotted stealing a kiss. They were convicted of murdering Trelfa's son Liam (inset) after he endured two years of abuse and neglect. Liam died at his home in March 2014 as a result of heart injuries.

Everyone should be taking Vitamin D pills (inset), according to health chiefs, to improve our bones and muscles and Public Health England advises taking a 10 microgram daily supplement. Six volunteers, including vegan Tony Bishop Weston (left), fitness fan Clare Delmar (second left), coffee drinker Paul Longmire (centre left), sun worshipper Gemma Johnson (centre right), office worker Susanna Murray-Burton (second right) and skincare queen Kathryn Cheston (right), took part in a test. They all took a blood test during August - when levels should have been the highest - to see if they were deficient in Vitamin D.

At least two barrel bombs hit the M10 hospital in the rebel-held side of the city on Saturday, according to the Syrian American Medical Society. The M10 hospital had already been hit by heavy bombardment on Wednesday along with the M2, the second-largest hospital in the area. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said air strikes also hit a smaller field hospital in the Sakhur neighbourhood.

More than a hundred people demonstrated at London's Heathrow Airport on Saturday, including dozens who took part in a "die-in" at one terminal, The demonstration comes just weeks before the Government is due to decide where to build a new runway. After a decade of reviews and U-turns, the government is expected to rule in mid-October on whether to build a third runway at Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, or at its smaller London rival Gatwick.

Now there's a new - and very surprising - screen heart-throb: Prince Philip, played by former Doctor Who star Matt Smith in the hotly awaited new £100 million television drama The Crown. Seen bare-chested and dripping with sweat as he strains every sinew in a rowing competition, the young Philip oozes sex appeal in a scene far removed from the formal occasions in which the British people are used to seeing the Queen's consort, centre. Inset, the real HRH leaps off his water skis on to the beach at Marmaris, Turkey, in 1951. And right, The Crown recreates the heart-breaking moment in 1952 when Prince Philip had to tell his wife her father, George VI, had died.

Hikvision, controlled by the Chinese government, is Britain's biggest supplier of CCTV equipment (inset), raising fears its internet-linked cameras could be hacked from Beijing at the touch of a button. Last week, undercover Mail on Sunday reporters posed as businessmen to infiltrate its headquarters in the 'surveillance city' of Hangzhou in eastern China (left), to investigate its activities. What they found will raise fresh cause for concern about a company whose growing influence in the UK has already been questioned by former MI6 officers and Security Ministers. Far from being the independently run business it claims to be in its customer-friendly marketing, Hikvision is controlled by China's ruling Communist Party. It is central to the government's Orwellian programme to spy on its 1.3 billion citizens (right).

Justin Ruehs and his husband Adam Smeets (pictured with their children), who live in Chicago, Illinois, became parents earlier this year. They had spent four years trying to start a family and finally welcomed triplets. But in an odd-defying IVF process, embryos from both Ruehs and Smeets were implanted successfully. This means their surrogate delivered not a traditional set of triplets, but twin girls and a baby boy (all three babies are pictured upper left). Emmett, the couple's son, has Smeets' DNA while the girls, Harper and Collins, share Ruehs'. Gay couples in Ruehs and Smeets' situation typically have just one biological father. Some couples choose to have a surrogate who will be artificially inseminated with the biological father's sperm. Others elect to do an IVF first using eggs from a donor, then to implant the resulting embryos into the surrogate's uterus.

Robert Boaler (left), who calls himself Zebadiah Abu-Obadiah, from Margate in Kent, screams a number of offensive and violent slurs in the hateful video called 'off with their heads'. Among the disturbing lyrics he warns people that if they 'chat s***' they will get 'Rigby'd' - referring to the brutal stabbing of fusilier Lee Rigby by Islamic extremists Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale in 2013. Boaler also calls for ex-Ukip leader Nigel Farage to be decapitated during his rap-rant and the video features a mocked up scene of an actor wearing an orange jump suit and a Farage mask (top right) being beheaded with a large sword by masked thugs (bottom right).

Sotheby's has been forced to take back an £8.4 million 'Frans Hals' and The Mail on Sunday understands the auction house is now pursuing the London dealer who supplied the painting. Experts are particularly concerned because the alleged fakes are so difficult to spot from the real thing. Earlier this year, the Prince of Liechtenstein had a painting seized by French authorities amid suspicion that it was a forgery. And it is feared that up to 25 more 'Old Masters' will be revealed as possible fakes in the coming weeks after a judge launched an investigation. Pictured, an Unknown Man said to be by Frans Hals (left), David by 'Gentileschi' (inset) and Venus by 'Cranach' (right).

David and Victoria Beckham (inset) drove their neighbours up the wall when they renovated their mansion (left) in west London, but now they have to endure their own building site hell. A group of neighbours have begun extensively renovating their properties, leaving scaffolding blighting their attractive street (right) and tradesmen invading the area. Such is the security concern caused by the extensive renovations that the Beckhams are believed to have installed state-of-the art cameras, created a panic room and hired a response team at a cost of £1million.

That's the offer on the table for city slickers happy to spend 30 hours a week looking after 93-year-old Margaret (inset), who suffers from dementia and memory loss. Her new roommate will also join grandson Ross Elder, 40, and his partner Sofi, 32, in a spacious flat overlooking the River Thames in London, worth over £1500 a month. Mr Elder's advert, posted on SpareRoom, has received over 200 enquiries, and the couple are now sifting through all the replies to find Margaret's next best friend.

Photos from the filming of Transformers: The Last Knight show dramatic scenes in the making - as actor Mark Wahlberg was seen running across the grass at the site in Wiltshire. The huge replica mounds became part of the Transformers film set today as helicopters soared and pyrotechnics lit up the sky above the stones. Members of the public are only allowed within 10 yards of the neolithic monument, strictly kept from the 5,000-year-old slabs by a barrier around its perimeter, so it was just as well it was all for show.

They're the bizarre wire-mesh structures popping up across new roads around Britain that have puzzled many passing motorists. Designed to help bats overcome their reluctance to fly across roads, the 'bat bridges' (pictured) are being erected at a cost of £2 million to the taxpayer. There's just one snag - they don't actually work. In fact, a study by experts last year showed they are virtually useless. Yet Government and council chiefs are continuing to build the bridges at a cost of more than £140,000 a time. The gantries, suspended between telegraph poles, are supposed to help bats (inset) navigate safely across the highways when migrating or searching for water sources. Seven are going up in Norwich soon, and highways chiefs say that despite the findings of the Government-commissioned survey, their approach remains the same.

After criticism of Tube Chat? a campaign to get Londoners to talk to each other on the Tube swept social media, MailOnline sent two reporters to strike up conversations with people across the capital. Naomi Ackerman struck up conversations on the Victoria line, left and top right, while Rebecca Taylor, bottom right, tested the friendliness of commuters on the Circle and District lines.

The stunning collection features scoundrels from between 1890 and the end of the First World War who were logged in a governor's ledger for their felonies. One outlaw was jailed for three months for stealing a duck, while another convict was locked up for two months for thieving a haddock at Nottingham Prison. The antique book features mugshots as well as a record detailing who the lags were, where they were from and what crime they had committed. It is expected to fetch £250 at auction on October 13, alongside black and white pictures of the jail and nine cell keys in a hinged mahogany box made by a prisoner.
