A two-year-old girl has died in freezing waters after being trapped in a car when it silently rolled down a slipway after her mother parked it to go into her office. Kiara Moore (left and main image) was found in her mother, Kim Rowland's (main image and top left) silver Mini, which had been taken and plunged into the River Teifi in Cardigan, Wales. Ms Rowlands, reported her car had been stolen, near the old Scout Hall, with her daughter inside - sparking a major search (top right) in the area yesterday afternoon. After a two-hour search of the river around Cardigan Castle, Dyfed-Powys Police found the car submerged in the river. Kiara, who was due to turn three next week, was found inside the car and was flown to hospital, where she later died. Her father, Jet Moore (top left), has now confirmed the car rolled into the river outside his outdoor activity centre - before police dived in to try to save the youngster. The 40-year-old wrote on Facebook: 'They got in the car to go home. Sat on bank card which snapped and needed money to get home etc. Went back to the office to get money from the desk and came back to no car. Looked in the river No signs. So we thought she and the car had been taken. The police found the car a while later and went way beyond the call of duty jumping in and pulling her out. They tried to revive her for hours but unfortunately could not. Everyone done their best. Thank you all so much for the support it means the world!' 

Restaurant owner Faheem Vanoo and his wife Shilpa Dandekar were travelling with their four-year-old daughter Amaira (together inset) when their green Mini (circled) was involved in the head-on collision (main picture). The Sunday afternoon crash left them 'shocked and dazed' - but without any serious injuries. But furious Shilpa told said that she had to be held back after the crash because she wanted to smash McPartlin in the face. Her husband, Faheem, explained: 'His Mini came flying around a sharp corner on the wrong side of the road trying to overtake a blue car. I hardly had time to react and turned in towards the kerb to avoid a head-on collision. I'm convinced that split-second turn of the wheel saved us all from being crippled or killed. I reckon he was doing 50 or 60mph.' A close member of McPartlin's family said the Saturday Night Takeaway star is 'distraught' that children were involved in the crash near Richmond Park in west London. But Faheem said last night he does not care 'whether [McPartlin is] a millionaire' or 'a famous TV star - he could have put my daughter in a wheelchair'.

Following a backlash for deliberately ignoring the story on Monday's This Morning, the presenting duo (pictured on Tuesday) admitted that they 'found it hard' to address the news that their close personal friend Ant McPartlin (pictured right with Declan Donnelly as well as Holly and Phil) had been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving. In a brief and sympathetic report about Ant's decision to take a break from ITV and return to rehab - a full 24-hours after the original story broke - Holly and Philip said they felt 'shocked and saddened' but wished their friend well.

Hatti Broxton (left), 27, lost her mother seven months ago after her 47-year-old parent (pictured together, right) died following a battle with lung cancer. But the Department for Work and Pensions demanded proof of her death - and sent round an assessor to see if Miss Broxton's deceased mother - a former benefits claimant - was fit to return to work. Devastated Miss Broxton had no choice but to show the inspector - described as mortified - an urn holding her mother's remains. Miss Broxton said she is 'furious' by the response.

Pictured inset: George, his mum Linda and her husband Pete on Gogglebox.

To Charles's intense annoyance, the Queen disapproved of his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, even when they were both divorced. It WAS the Queen’s firm belief that Charles would not marry Camilla in her lifetime. Yet, in 2005, he proposed marriage to his mistress, by then aged 57. The couple were married shortly after (pictured on their wedding day). In the gripping third part of our serialisation of a new biography of Prince Charles, Britain’s top investigative author reveals how a frustrated and angry Prince decided to have a late-night showdown with his mother at Balmoral . . .

Dick and Angel Strawbridge (left), who have been documenting their ambitious renovation project on Channel 4's Escape to the Chateau, are putting the finishing touches to the 45-bedroom venue they snapped up for £280,000 a little over two years ago. The show has returned for a fourth series, and found the Strawbridges turning an old servant's staircase into a 'padded room', decorated with swatches of fabric echoing the patterns on rolls of antique wallpaper recovered from the crumbling chateau in the Loire Valley. Top right, one of the revamped bedrooms, and, bottom right, a colourful child's room. 

Victoria Derbyshire has revealed that she walks around naked at home in front of her two sons, aged 11 and 13, who ‘don’t bat an eyelid’. The BBC presenter – who had a right-side mastectomy and reconstruction after being diagnosed with stage 2 lobular breast cancer in 2015 – maintained that nudity in her home was ‘no big deal’. The Lancashire-born 49-year-old will join a host of celebrities for an ITV show which will involve ‘a process of disrobing’ similar to last year’s Full Monty, which raised awareness about prostate cancer.

Anna Campbell (right, bottom inset), from Lewes in East Sussex, died in Afrin on March 15 after joining an all-female Kurdish brigade in their battle against ISIS. Yesterday in an emotional interview with the Mail, Anna’s grieving father Dirk (left with her sister Rose Campbell), 67, told how he had been powerless to prevent his daughter leaving the UK. ‘I told her she would be in terrible danger, that she would come under bombardment but she was insistent,’ he said. ‘It was something she desperately wanted to do and there was no stopping her.’

A drunken sailor got so merry on free alcohol at a Royal Navy lunch he couldn't carry out his duties at the prestigious Edinburgh Tattoo later that evening, a court martial heard today.

Nicola Baines, 35, gave birth to a healthy baby boy naturally at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester, but her placenta burst while daughter Eleanor was still in the womb. An inquest heard that as she attempted to carry on with the birth, unaware of danger, three midwives in the delivery theatre talked among themselves and tried to call for a doctor only to be told all were 'busy' in theatre. Eventually a doctor arrived at the delivery room and Mrs Baines was transferred to theatre for an emergency caesarian section. But baby Eleanor was born seriously ill and died six days later with tests showing the placenta abruption had likely caused the infant a fatal brain injury.

An investigation is underway after workers were seen throwing rubbish from a 40ft high block of flats. The incident in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was caught on camera by a member of the public. In pictures the two workers can be seen peering precipitously off the edge of the building after one throws material to the ground below.

Images from the First World War have revealed the important role played by animals during the conflict - from assisting with heavy-duty work to helping provide light relief to the troops. One officer of the 444 Siege Battery is seen smoking a pipe whilst stroking a tiny kitten who is perched on a 12-inch shell that dwarfs the feline in size. A team of horses can also be seen dragging a heavy field gun through muddy terrain on the way to the Somme.

Patrik Gunar, 22, dragged the child to the floor and stole her phone in a struggle lasting two minutes. The girl is said to be too afraid to go outside for even a few minutes 'in case they were going to get her again'. Gunar, originally from Slovakia, cried as he admitted his crime at Derby Crown Court today and said he'd picked the 12-year-old because she was 'easy prey' and 'just a little girl'.

Standing at 4ft tall and weighing some 14 stone at the age of just six years old, Johnny Trunley (main image) was viewed by his contemporaries in Edwardian Britain with equal measures of fear and curiosity. Acquiring the nickname the Fat Boy of Peckham, he performed around the country in 1904 at the age of just seven, going on to tour with American showman Buffalo Bill and music hall impresario Fred Karno and meeting Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel. To modern audiences, circus shows of this nature are an antiquated embarrassment and a throwback to an age before political correctness. But in Trunley's era it was not unusual for crowds to gawk at those who were considered different from the norm, whether they were obese children, giants, dwarfs, Siamese twins and hairy men. Brighton-born conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton (top right) were one of the most high profile nightclub performing acts in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, while Lionel the Lionman (inset left), who was born Stephen Bibrowski in Warsaw, Poland, in 1891, became a celebrity because of his long facial hair and took up residence at the famous Coney Island amusement park in New York.

Lyn Aylesbury (left), 47, broke the nose of the fellow gym-goer in the assault among the dumbbells and workout machine at the centre in Newport, South Wales. Aylesbury had sent an abusive text to his former friend Andrew Ferris after the pair fell out, Cardiff Crown Court was told. Shaven-headed Aylesbury accused Mr Ferris of 'belittling him in front of others' - and the tension boiled over when Mr Ferris was confronted by Aylesbury as he arrived at the gym to work out. The gym's own CCTV (right) showed Aylesbury stripping off to his weightlifting vest before confronting Mr Ferris - then attacking him in the gym. Electrician Mr Ferris was forced to take time off work from whiplash and concussion, and had surgery to straighten his nose. Aylesbury, of Newport, admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was given a ten month sentence, suspended for a year and a half.

Mohammed Abdul, 21, Deptford, South East London, will appear at court today after a Suzuki Vitara was driven into revellers (centre) outside Blake's nightclub (left) in Gravesend, Kent. Footage taken on Saturday night shows clubbers appearing to attack the driver of a car which smashed through the marquee where smokers had congregated. Abdul will appear at Medway Magistrates' Court today, Kent Police said as they confirmed that the incident at about 11.45pm is not being treated as terror related. The driver was pulled from the car by clubbers, who detained him while police arrived. It is believed one of the injured, a young woman, suffered a broken pelvis. Elena Napoliello (right), 18, from Gravesend, said: 'I saw the headlights of the car coming towards me and my friend and we got pushed backwards by one of our friends to get us into safety.’

Paul Hunt, who is married to the chef's sister Anna-Marie, was hired to run Jamie Oliver Ltd in 2014 and has recently assumed responsibility for his restaurants as well as the rest of his empire. Jamie defers day-to-day running of the business to him. But in Hunt's three years, he has developed a reputation for ruthlessness - making staff redundant on Christmas Eve, and cutting ties with Jamie's friends and culinary mentors. (Pictured left: Paul Hunt with Jamie Oliver, pictured right: Paul with his wife, Jamie's sister Anna-Marie, and inset from left: Paul, Anna-Marie, Jools and Jamie Oliver).

A brazen burglar told a 90-year-old Alzheimer's sufferer he was 'looking for her jewellery' when he broke into her home during the night. The vulnerable woman was laying in her bed in Bromley, south east London, when she saw a man standing outside her window. He then forced open the window and footage shows the man - in his late 30s or early 40s - approaching the victim's dresser and rummaging around for valuables. The woman asked him what he was doing and replied: 'I am looking for jewellery' and continued to search the property. He then patted the victim on the shoulder before fleeing with a quantity of jewellery in a white paper bag.

The doorbell rang at 6.50 in the morning of January 18, 2001. Paul Burrell (pictured left, with Diana), who was asleep, was woken by his wife. Standing at the door was Detective Chief Inspector Maxine de Brunner and three other police officers. 'Do you have any items from Kensington Palace in this house?' Princess Diana's former butler was asked. 'No,' he lied. He was then placed under arrest and the pre-dawn raid on his home near Runcorn in Cheshire began. He was later put on trial accused of stealing 310 items together worth £4.5 million (pictured right, arriving at court). But Charles tried to stop the case, fearing embarrassing details about the Royal Family would emerge.

The pair, along with two other passengers, their guide and the pilot escaped the inferno with just minor injuries following the incident at around 10am local time today. Prof Spector, who is in the top one per cent of cited scientists according to Thomspon-Reuters, told MailOnline: 'It was terrifying and a but surreal but we are very lucky to be alive.'

Russian Zalina Gedugova (right and inset), an English teacher at a school in the city of Chelyabinsk, moonlights as a 'strip-plastic' dance instructor, which involves women dancing erotically as a way of keeping in shape and improving their fitness. Ms Gedugova, who graduated from Pyatigorsk State Linguistic University with honours, teaches her fitness classes in her spare time. But one of her colleagues called for her to be sacked after she persuaded some of her students to pose for a provocative photoshoot (left) to promote her classes.

This is the earliest known photo of legendary outlaw Jesse James at the tender age of 14 years old, when the baby-faced teenager was just a Baptist minister's son from a prestigious farming family in Missouri (right). In the Victorian tintype photograph taken around 1961, James stands stony-faced with slicked back hair, wearing a dark suit and leaning against a chair. Just two years after the photo was taken, James joined the Confederate militia in the American Civil War, beginning his transformation into a ruthless killer and outlaw (left). Now, collector Justin Whiting, 45, is set to sell the vintage image for thousands after the 45-year-old, from Spalding, Lincolnshire, bought the photo off eBay for a measly $10 (£7).
