EXCLUSIVE BY SIMON JONES: Twenty players and staff were involved in the tunnel melee which will be dubbed the new Water-gate at the end of a crackling Manchester derby. Eyewitnesses were staggered at the eruption that followed the final whistle. United believed City had celebrated too much following their 2-1 win and showed a ‘lack of respect’.  City thought Jose Mourinho had encroached on their territory as he approached their dressing room to protest.

One Twitter user, from London, posted a photograph of Victoria Beckham skiing down a mountain and wrote 'off to brunch' (right) while Britain tried to cope with the adverse weather conditions. On Sunday morning, a bored motorist made a snowman while they were stuck in traffic on the M25 and Twitter user TechnicallyRon joked that people should 'panic buy milk and huskies' in London (bottom left). Meanwhile, musician Olly Murs, 33, uploaded a video of him dancing in the snow wearing just a Christmas jumper this morning (top left).

Lance (top right) Hart, 57, penned a 12-page suicide note before he blasted his wife Claire (right in bottom right photo), 50, and their 19-year-old daughter Charlotte (left in bottom right photo) before turning the shotgun on himself in Spalding, Lincolnshire, on July 19, 2016. His sons Luke (right in main photo) and Ryan Hart (left in main photo), who were abroad when the killings took place, have said that warning signs of a murderer can easily go unnoticed. The killer had claimed his three children were 'conspiring' against him and would murder his estranged wife and only daughter to spite them and his surviving sons Ryan and Luke.

A heartbreaking video of a young boy pleading to be left alone by bullies goes viral as celebrities offer him their support. Keaton Jones, of Knoxville, Tennessee, asked his mother, Kimberly Jones, a question that so many people would like the answer too. 'Just out of curiosity, why do they bully? What's the point of it? Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them,' Keaton asked his mother through tears. 'It's not okay,' he said. His tear-jerking video captured the hearts of more than 16 million viewers on Facebook after it was posted by his mother. The video has garnered more than 330,000 shares on Facebook, even reaching the eyes and ears of several celebrities who have tweeted their support for young Keaton, including Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, actress Patricia Arquette and Jaimie Alexander.

The Saturdays singer Mollie, 30, was the 11th contestant to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday night's semi-final following a tense dance-off with Gemma Atkinson, who will go on to compete in next weekend's final. Mollie paid tribute to her 22-year-old professional dance partner AJ, to whom she has been consistently romantically linked, throughout the competition. The singer called AJ her 'hero' and said she owed the experience to him. Gemma will compete against Joe McFadden, Alexandra Burke and Debbie McGee next Saturday night in the 2017 final.

Police have made two further arrests after a man was stripped naked, tied up and beaten during a 50-hour hostage ordeal. A gang of armed robbers held the man hostage for two days, stripping him naked and beating him before raiding his parents' home. The 24-year-old, wearing a £9,000 Rolex watch (right), was lured to a house by two acquaintances while walking down London Road in Croydon, at 2pm on December 4. Two men, aged 28 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of kidnap after CCTV was released in a public appeal for information and the pair are being questioned at a south London police station. The footage also featured this man, pictured, who police are still trying to trace.

People who suffered collateral damage from the sleazy falsehoods he traded in for more than four decades would perhaps disagree, as might victims of some of the less edifying individuals to appear on his PR firm’s roster, such as (to offer just one example) the racist thugs who murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence. But Max Clifford, who died in hospital yesterday at the age of 74, after collapsing in jail and suffering a heart attack on Friday, is unlikely to have cared. Because for all the shabby ‘kiss-and-tell’ yarns he sold, and despite the endless stories he fabricated to advance the interests of favoured clients, the person he spent his life telling the biggest and most flagrant lies about was himself. A relentless self-publicist and gifted networker — who charmed such clients as Simon Cowell, former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed and boxer Muhammad Ali — he used his tireless charity work to cultivate a veneer of respectability. Yet, as with Jimmy Savile, the charitable public persona was cynically used to mask a slew of ugly personal secrets.

The 58-year-old appeared to be in tiptop shape as he enjoyed a jet-ski ride in sunny Barbados on Sunday. He was joined by child Eric as the pair enjoyed father-son bonding time. He recently completed the latest series of X Factor, leading Rak Su to a win.

Addressing the House of Commons for the first time since last week’s breakthrough, the Prime Minister will promise to ensure that a sovereign UK ‘takes control of its borders, money and laws once again’. Striking an upbeat note about the next phase of talks with Brussels on trade and other issues, she will call for ‘bold new economic and security relationships’ with the EU after we leave. Mrs May is likely to face a rousing reception from backbench Tory MPs today after dramatically regaining the political momentum. Last week – after a frenetic 24 hours of diplomacy – Mrs May (pictured president of the EU Commission, Jean Claude Juncker) concluded her agreement with European Commission negotiators on the rights of EU nationals, the divorce settlement and Northern Ireland.

The 52-year-old actor, who has played the hapless radio host for more than 20 years, said his character’s ‘archaic social views’ are now widespread. He explained Partridge would have voted to leave the EU and said it was ‘depressing’ that the public agreed with him. Speaking to the Radio Times, the left-wing comedian said: ‘The world has coalesced into a situation that is sympathetic to Alan, which for me is quite depressing. ‘Sometimes I agree with Alan but on Brexit I’m a Remainer, and I feel quite conflicted about it.

The royal bride-to-be has been practicing the discipline since she was a young girl, thanks to her mother, Doria Ragland, who is an instructor in their home town of LA. Miss Markle, 36, who will marry Harry at Windsor Castle in May, devotes a couple of hours to her passion a week, whether at home or in a studio. ‘That practice is in my blood,’ she told Canada’s Women’s Health Magazine in 2015, the year before she met the Queen’s grandson. There are so many benefits that come with the practice of yoga…increased flexibility and muscle strength, greater happiness, increased mental focus, a greater ability to relax, decreased anxiety and better sleep.’

A photo series documenting the women of the Hells Angels has been re-touched in colour to provide a fresh look into the females behind the world's most notorious motorcycle gang. The original pictures were taken in the 1960s and 1970s, at the height of the Hells Angels infamy in the public eye - often linked to the drug trade but also to figures The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Most of these images, pictured, were taken by LIFE magazine photographer Bill Ray, according to Matt Loughrey, who decided to take the time to add some colour to the iconic shots.

Stoke City striker Jese Rodriguez (inset, left) has posted heartbreaking images of him with his premature baby with an oxygen mask on (main) after travelling to the Canary Islands to see his son. The Spaniard was given time off this weekend so he could be by his child's side after further complications in Nyan's health. The on-loan Paris Saint Germain forward, who was disciplined earlier this week after leaving the bench early during last weekend's victory over Swansea, posted a poignant photo of him and his son alongside the message: 'Life puts you to the test once more…but once more I'll stay by your side. I will always be there for you when you need me.' He also posted a video of him clutching Nyan's fingers in a video alongside the message: 'Hold me and don't let go because I'll never let you go. Come on, Nyan.' Nyan is his third child and his first with his model girlfriend Aurah Ruiz (inset right).

And over in Oslo, Crown Princess Mette-Marit could be seen wiping a tear from her eye during an emotional rendition of a Bob Marley song (inset).

Iain Lee was eliminated from I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! during Sunday night's final - placing him in third. And fans appeared less than pleased that the radio host, 44, exited the jungle before his campmate Jamie Lomas. Viewers of the ITV favourite flocked to Twitter in frustration that the star finished up the final in third place, behind Jamie and champion Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo. 

Apart from the striking blue eyes, there is scant clue as to the identity of this little boy’s father. But he is Sir Mick Jagger and this is his youngest child, Deveraux (pictured left). ‘Happy 1st Birthday to my beautiful Devi,’ said American ballet dancer Melanie Hamrick (pictured right, with Sir Mick), 31. Dressed in a cute grey top, Devi clearly enjoys his food, as he is seen momentarily distracted from opening the fridge door. Devi’s second name, Octavian, helps remind the 74-year-old Rolling Stones singer that he’s his eighth child.

Kate Ball (pictured left and top right with her children- twins Olivia and Emily, Alfie and Grace), 38, recently won the Daily Mail’s Mumpreneur Award for her life-saving business, Mini First Aid. As she reveals that she is expecting twins again, she shares how she juggles business with family. She admits there has been times where she has neglected her health to balance work and family. However now having her own business dictates her 'own terms'.

The so-called Thomas Fire is only 15 percent contained, now threatening the city of Santa Barbara and the nearby coastal town of Carpinteria, and is on track to become one of the worst wildfires in California history. It has already destroyed 583 structures and scorched 173,000 acres, the authorities say. New evacuations were ordered in Carpinteria, a seaside city in Santa Barbara County that has been under fire threat for days. The new evacuation zone encompasses the entire town of Carpinteria, which has a population of 13,000, and extends within two miles of the Santa Barbara Zoo.

This astonishingly realistic painting of Prince Philip captures the craggy character of the 96-year-old royal as he stands in the impressive Grand Corridor at Windsor Castle. By contrast, his youngest child Prince Edward (left) – who, it is believed, will one day inherit his father’s title – can be seen in a somewhat more eyecatching outfit. A newly emerged photograph shows Edward hosting a dinner at his country home, Bagshot Park, in his role as chairman of international special projects for the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation. Edward, 53, is wearing a bow tie, blue velvet smoking jacket, Stewart Black Modern tartan trousers (the Queen is their ‘chief of chiefs’) and a pair of monogrammed slippers.

The Selwoods are notorious for their incessant violence, binge drinking and anti-social behaviour. Their actions have seen them likened to the lawless Gallagher family from the hit Channel 4 programme Shameless. Neighbours in Tonbrige, Kent, have had to put up with brothers Darren (centre), 34, Lee (left), 31, and Jason (right), 33, and their mother Lesley (inset), 53, for years - but are now ecstatic at the thought of the festive season passing peacefully without them. Even their own flesh and blood are happy to see them go down, with their aunt branding them 'feral scumbags'.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: A 50-year-old father in Kyrgyzstan was filmed forcefully kicking his son because the toddler was not able to stand up in the snow. Shocking video shows the father, who has been reported by local media as 50-years-old, kicking the child across the pavement, pictured. The father then drags the boy roughly to his feet and urges him to continue walking on their journey - the boy struggles to get his balance and looks like he could be injured. Local media also reported that the father had been identified and arrested after the video was posted on social media. His name has not been released.

The campaign has hired a number of celebrities to represent them over the last few years, including Helena Bonham Carter and Emma Thompson.  And Fishlove have now enlisted the help of actresses Imelda Staunton and Rula Lenska to raise awareness of the dangers of over fishing - in its usually striking style. Imelda, 61, and 70-year-old Rula both stripped completely naked for the eye-catching shoot - concealing their modesty with nothing but dead fish, to highlight the importance for diverse, clean and healthy seas.

This is the shocking moment a convicted paedophile was snared trying to meet an underage girl again four months after early release from prison. Mark Thornton was snared in a Morrisons car park in Darlington after telling what he thought was a 14-year-old that he had 'been a naughty boy' after serving around half of his 24-month sentence for trying to take a 13-year-old's virginity. The 51-year-old had only been out of prison for four months when he started messaging the decoy, telling her she was 'sexy' and confessing he'd been jailed for trying to meet an even younger girl that also turned out to be a decoy.

Travellers from all over the world have shared some of the hilarious things that they have seen in airports. From top left to right (clockwise): A girl is so exhausted that she takes a lie down on this rather uncomfortable looking carousel; one airport is very particular about how long passengers are allowed to kiss for; one woman looks as if she is flashing her behind as she walks through the airport, a mum has found a slightly hazardous way of keeping her little one in one place; one tot is so sleepy that she has fallen asleep on the suitcase that her dad is pulling along and it was one man's first time in an airport so he wasn't sure how the scanner worked.

Chefs at Roda Park, in Minas, Uruguay, are using more than a staggering 16 tons of beef in their attempt to smash the record, which is currently held by at town in the La Pampa province of Argentina. Astonishing pictures from the South American country show chefs preparing huge amounts of beef as billows of barbecue smoke fill the air. And nearly eight tons of salad were hauled in for the event to accompany the dizzying helpings of meat. 'We estimate that between 35,000 and 38,000 portions could be produced,' organiser Victor Modino told El País .

Blue Planet II viewers were overcome with emotion after Sir David Attenborough bid a touching farewell to a baby turtle. In a touching scene in tonight's episode of the hit BBC series, the miniature leatherback is seen dragging itself slowly towards the ocean using its flippers. As Sir David releases the little creature back to the ocean, he wishes the baby reptile a tender farewell. Placing the turtle gently on the sand, he whispers: 'Good luck, little leatherback.' The touching moment sparked an emotional response from viewers with many left in tears while others described it as the 'cutest thing' they had ever seen.

An Australian mother-of-two has been left red-faced after spotting a very embarrassing mistake in her children's Santa photo. Tammie Hopley, 29, paid $35 for a selection of meet and greet photos of her children Ryder, two and Ledger, 10 months. But it wasn't until the next day when she realised the photos she had purchased weren't quite as innocent as they appeared. So can you spot the mistake?

The third annual British Life Photography Awards (BLPA) has announced the winners of its latest competition to document culture in the UK. Established in 2014 these awards recognise the talents of both amateur and professional photographers, while simultaneously reviving a greater awareness of documentary photography to the public. The awards are a showcase for contemporary imagery that capture the essence and spirit of British life, whether a family's farming tradition in southern England, or an eccentric Londoner rocking out on the River Thames. BLPA will exhibit a selection of approximately 80 of the submitted images, some pictured, at Royal Albert Hall next year. The exhibit will then travel.
