Pensioner who hadn't washed for 13 YEARS has her life transformed after a kind hearted

Lucy Ashen (with daughter Ruby, 14), a mother-of-three from Fulham, had lived next to the pensioner for 21 years but only recently discovered the 'absolutely horrific' state of her one-bed flat in south-west London. After trying multiple times to enter her neighbour's flat, the elderly woman, who has no family, finally allowed the 39-year-old into her home when she got locked out. Miss Ashen was so shocked at the condition of her home she decided to take matters into her own hands and spent almost a fortnight cleaning it. She appealed for help online and strangers from all over the world donated enough food and furniture to fill her sparse cupboards and home. Miss Ashen hopes it will help raise awareness of the dangers of elderly people becoming isolated.

Kim Kardashian 'vows to stop flaunting her wealth on social media'

Kim Kardashian (left) has reportedly vowed to stop flaunting her wealth on social media after she was robbed at gunpoint, tied up and dumped in her marble bath tub in Paris. The 35-year-old reality star was forced to hand over her 20-carat Lorraine Schwartz ring (top right), worth £3.5 million, along with her jewellery box containing gems worth £5.24 million when five masked men stormed her luxury Paris apartment in the early hours of Monday morning. The ring - gifted to her by husband Kanye West- was last seen sparkling on Kim's finger in a Snapchat post earlier that night. The robbers tricked their way into her Paris home by simply saying: 'It's urgent - we must see Miss Kardashian,' a concierge has claimed. Police have noted inconsistencies in the concierge's story, and remain baffled at the apparent ease with which he was able to guide the robbers straight to the star's bedroom.
