Olympic showjumper Lizzie Purbrick, 63, reveals Lord Prior is a 'madman' in bed chamber

Lizzie Purbrick (pictured left), 63, drew a gory three-foot penis on the floor of the Kennington home she had shared with Lord Prior (right) of Brampton, and daubed 'lady sl*t' and 'big d**k lord' on his walls (main). In her first interview after being handed 120 hours community service, the former Olympian has revealed she was left devastated after the Tory peer broke up with her and candidly shared how he was 'rather boring' but a 'madman in the bed chamber'.

Flights into Gatwick are diverted after plane performs emergency landing at London

Hundreds of passengers were left stranded at the wrong airport this morning after eight flights into Gatwick were diverted when a plane performed an emergency landing due to a hydraulic fluid leak. Four flights were sent to Birmingham, two to Stansted and two to Luton after the Airbus A320 was forced to perform the manoeuvre. The British Airways flight from Naples landed at 12.34pm and was surrounded by fire crews on the tarmac, forcing the closure of the runway. The aircraft required towing from the runway and the landing resulted in a spill of hydraulic fluid.

Ella Kissi-Debrah lived on one of Britain’s busiest roads when she suffered a fatal asthma

Ella Kissi-Debrah, nine, (pictured left and top right) died from acute respiratory failure in 2013. But the inquest did not establish the cause of her asthma. Ella lived in Hither Green, South East London, just 80ft from London’s inner ring road, the heavily congested South Circular. Now, extensive research by Professor Stephen Holgate, an expert in asthma and air pollution at University Hospital Southampton, has revealed that all but one of Ella’s emergency admissions coincided with spikes in air pollution. Her death followed one of the worst peaks recorded in her area during that period and her mother Rosamund (pictured bottom right) wants a new inquest into her death.

Birmingham baby girl found after being kidnapped in carjacking

Claire O'Neill, 39 (pictured left) fought to save her little girl, clinging to the door of her Audi A3 sports car as thieves stole it from her driveway in Acocks Green, Birmingham (scene pictured top right) just after 4pm on Thursday.

The youngster was later found abandoned at a health centre (pictured bottom right today) nearby and was reunited with Ms O'Neill in hospital, who suffered cuts and grazes to her legs in the struggle.

The incident comes just three days after another carjacking in the Nechells area of Birmingham, which also targeted an Audi A3.

Swimmer bitten by flesh-eating seal in Mill Bay Cove Devon

Glyn Watkin, 69, was enjoying a dip in the shallows at Mill Bay Cove in Devon when a seal (pictured inset) tugged at his leg and thrashed against his back.

White Windrush passengers: photos of the boat's trips from Malaya

Kathy Williams, 67, has dusted off her photo albums at home in Gloucestershire - to reveal the story of the white families from Windrush - who did not face discrimination. Kathy Williams, now 67, was among the limited number of white families who travelled on the boat – but were never subjected to the cruel treatment black Windrush migrants and their relatives have endured. In 1951, three years after the ship's most iconic voyage, Kathy was brought to Britain with her family from Malaya. She born in Kuala Lumpar in 1950 - two years after her father was sent with the British Army to support Commonwealth soldiers against the communist regime.

Known as 'the indigenous man in the hole', the tribesman (pictured) has been captured on video by Government officials in the Brazilian state of Rondonia.
