NEW Chloe Ayling, 20, (left and right) was accused of faking her kidnap despite her attacker being jailed and her being found in a suitcase in Italy. The model revealed she tried to make her captor love her to stay alive. Miss Ayling, who is releasing a book about her ordeal in July revealed she stayed alive by hatching a plan to ensure her kidnapper fell for her. Lukasz Herba (inset top) was jailed for 16 years and ordered to pay the model £6,000 after her ordeal in 2017. She was found in a suitcase (inset bottom) outside the British Consulate in Milan after Herba released her.

Britain sweated in the hottest day of the year so far today as temperatures made it all the way to 84.9F (29C). Forecasters expect the country to experience a heatwave hotter than Rio de Janeiro all week, and the scorching weather has already caused a large moor fire in Saddleworth (top centre) which could be seen 15 miles away in Manchester. The blaze began last night and was quickly brought under control – but then started again this morning due to the heat and light winds. Meanwhile train commuters were warned by Great Western Railway that delays may be caused later this week by speed limits imposed as a safeguard against the tracks buckling. A new UK 2018 record temperature of 84.9F (29.4C) was set at St James's Park in London today.

Greater Manchester police officers Kerry Reeve, 36, (left and right) and fellow constable Adam Jackson (inset) snorted cocaine throughout their two year romance and swapped text messages about their drug use. Reeve, 36, was sentenced to 31 weeks in jail on Monday, while Jackson, also 36, was hit with 18 months behind bars after he pleaded guilty to taking cocaine and amphetamine. The court heard Jackson had a cocaine habit, using the Class A drug on a weekly basis and supplied the substance to Reeve, with whom he was having an affair with. Jackson was photographed snorting cocaine off Reeves' breast at a hotel in Blackpool, and the court saw text messages between the pair discussing if three grams of cocaine for £100 would be enough for one night.

Left to his own devices, Robbie Williams openly admits he would self sabotage. But his 39-year-old wife Ayda Field has kept his demons at bay since they married eight years ago (pictured together centre). A Turkish-American actress, Ayda has featured in cheesy U.S. soap Days Of Our Lives, and has made the occasional appearance on ITV’s Loose Women, of course. Showbiz is in Ayda’s blood.

Under new rules from the City watchdog insurance firms must notify when giving quotes to current and former cancer patients they can get it cheaper from a specialist. Major firms have been accused of ripping off people so badly they cancel their holidays entirely because of the cost of insurance. Now, if the customer is quoted an extortionate premium on a price comparison site, they will also be told to shop around with a specialist company. Karen Stead (pictured) has been cancer-free for almost eight years but still struggles to find affordable travel insurance. One year after treatment in 2010 she was forced to pay £700 insurance – as much as her air fare – to visit daughter Sarah in Miami. Mrs Stead has struggled to visit Sarah and son Leo (right) in Texas because of the cost.

As the light turns green, the two bikers begin to drive off before a scrambler bike rides across two lanes, crossing both of their paths.

Figures from last month revealed that London police have dealt with an average of 430 crimes using mopeds per week in the past year.

Theresa May admitted to Donald Tusk tonight Britain's Brexit demands would not be ready until after this week's crucial EU summit. The Prime Minister told the EU Council President at Downing Street talks she would not have her crucial policy paper on the shape of Brexit in time to discuss it with other European leaders. The state of the document, known as a White Paper, has been the subject of fraught discussions inside Westminster and is not likely to be fixed until a Cabinet away day next month. Brussels had wanted to see 'progress' on resolving the Irish border at this week's summit but hopes are rapidly fading of any movement at all. And he warned striking a deal would be harder for Mrs May than England found playing Panama in the World Cup on Sunday.

London is the world’s most congested city, with drivers spending 101 hours in traffic jams every year and vehicles crawling along at an average speed of 8mph — slower than a horse-drawn carriage in the 18th century. Sarah Rainey tested how long it took for a driver, motorcyclist, pedestrian, cyclist and bus passenger to get from Victoria Coach Station to Jermyn Street in London (route marked on map on top left). The motorcyclist came out on top, completing the journey in just over seven minutes. The slowest was the bus passenger, who took more than 18 minutes to reach the finish line - not much faster than a driver, who completed the route in 17 minutes and 41 seconds.

Earlier this month, the High Court rejected a legal challenge by the British Homeopathic Association following the decision by the NHS to no longer routinely fund homeopathy.

But these four people insist it has changed their lives...

Japanese authorities denied a man the chance his wish to die a castaway on an island he called home for three decades. Masafumi Nagasaki was the only inhabitant of the kilometre-wide Sotobanari island but was forced to return to civilisation after being found unwell by police. He lived in solitude since 1989 and became known as the 'naked hermit' after being discovered by a traveller who writes about castaways.

Heather Locklear has once again found herself in trouble with the law, just days after she was released from an involuntary psychiatric hold. Police arrested Locklear on Sunday night after the 56-year-old actress allegedly attacked an officer and an EMT. She previously had an altercation with law enforcement in February which also led to an arrest.

Katherine and Adam Wooler bought an abandoned hut on the Cornish coast for £125,000 and made a shed load renting it out. They are now putting it on the market for £850,000. The savvy couple realised the potential in the unloved 'shed' and quickly snapped it up five years ago. The diminutive Cornwall chalet, which only sleeps two people and cannot be used as a permanent home, is the same price as a large four or five-bedroom house elsewhere in the county. The cabin, called Seaglass, is on top of a 300ft cliff overlooking Whitsand Bay. Its stunning location and the fact it can command up to £3,595 a week as a luxury holiday let make it worthy of the seemingly steep price tag, according to the agents selling it.
