Despite the shocking end to her race, Carruthers still managed to achieve a personal best time. She finished in 2:34:03, nearly a quarter of an hour behind the winner of the women's race, Kenya's Brigid Kosgei - who finished in 2:18:20. Pictures showed Carruthers being carried away on a stretcher to receive treatment.

Helen was thrust into the media spotlight after Jenny sold her story, but in a new tell-all book she reveals how Rooney, 33 (inset) burst into tears after their encounter. His wife Coleen (pictured with their four children, inset) was pregnant with her eldest son Kai. She says: 'I will never forget the look on Wayne's face as we were lying in bed together. The colour drained from him and he was close to crying. After we had sex he brought up the fact that he was going to become a dad soon. I asked him if he was all right, and he replied, 'I don't know why I've just done that.'

So MailOnline Travel Editor, Ted Thornhill, wanted to find out what all the fuss is about. And low and behold - what the fuss is about is readily apparent at every stage, he writes.

The daughter of serial killer Joanna Dennehy (left) has revealed how her loving mother turned into a man-hating serial killer. Shianne Treanor (pictured left, inset with her mother and her sibling in 2006) said Dennehy 'deserved to die in prison' and has apologised to her mother's victims for her horrendous crimes.

After visiting her mother in prison for the first time, Shianne spoke of the emotional roller coaster she had been on, growing up in the shadow of a killer.

Judging by his spectacular photographs of African wildlife, the Duke of Sussex is something of a natural behind the lens. But while the camera never lies, Harry's pictures of a rhino, elephant and lion don't quite tell the full story. Anyone glancing at them quickly could be left with the impression that capturing images of these mighty creatures at such close quarters would have required a thrilling - possibly life-endangering - pursuit across the bush. But the reality is that all three animals had been stunned by a tranquilliser before the prince clicked the shutter. The elephant in Malawi had also been tethered - but because of the way the picture was edited, Harry's Instagram followers were unable to see the rope around its hind legs.

Baby Sussex may not yet have a passport but Meghan and Harry are already reportedly planning their first jaunt with their little one to another continent.

They made up for their absence by sending a £7,000 piece of art (right) by the trendy Connor Brothers as a wedding present.

The repulsive industry has been exposed in a year-long investigation by former Tory peer Lord Ashcroft. The investigation, exclusively revealed in The Mail on Sunday today, shows how up to 12,000 lions bred in captivity are destined either to be shot by wealthy hunters or killed in squalid abattoirs so their bones can be exported to the Far East. Wealthy clients are emailed brochures with photographs of captive male lions, so they can choose which one to kill. Prices range from £10,000 to £42,300 and depend on the size and quality of the mane (left). Simba, a majestic 11-year-old, was bred in captivity and touted to foreign hunters looking for prime specimens to slaughter. But thanks to the actions of the undercover investigators, Simba's life has been saved - and yesterday the noble beast was released into a large enclosure at a secret location (right).

Radio Free Europe photographer Amos Chapple, from New Zealand, recently had a look around the site, which lies some 185 miles south of Kiev, and captured the facility in a set of fascinating, if unnerving, photographs. The subterranean base is cylindrical and comprises 10 storeys. It was designed to be self-sufficient for 45 days in the event of a nuclear war and so it contains generators to keep the power running and (very cramped) living quarters with the odd mod con or two. Mr Chapple snapped bunk beds, the silo's microwave oven, a kettle, the launch buttons, the ladders that connect the facility's floors, a 750kg blast door and an SS-18 Satan missile on display outside. He described the experience as 'incredibly unsettling'.

Neymar landed himself in hot water on Saturday night when he was filmed from multiple angles lashing out at a fan following PSG's shock defeat to Rennes in the French Cup final.  The Brazilian star was walking up the steps at the Stade de France to collect his losers' medal, minutes after his side had lost 6-5 in a penalty shootout, when he seemed to take offence at one man who was pointing a phone camera at him. The former Barcelona star used his right hand to push the man's phone away before words were exchanged. Neymar then lashed out and appeared to catch the fan's chin.

Neil McIver, 55, from London spent £70,000 on an old 100ft Dutch barge (left) built in 1913 which he later turned into his dream home.

There is underfloor heating in the bathroom, a fully fitted kitchen area (bottom-right) and 158 square metres of living space, with wide oak floorboards, portholes and roof lights. The saloon (top-right) is big enough for two large sofas and an armchair. Neil and Jenny, who is now his wife, love the tranquillity of living on a boat. As much as the couple love their floating home, they've got the bug for projects and want to renovate a farmhouse in Italy, where Jenny's family come from.

Tasnim did not say when the footage was shot, however the US Navy says USS Dwight D Eisenhower hasn't been in the Gulf since 2016 .

Jayne Wrightsman's passing at the age of 99 on April 20, marked the end of an era defined by the likes of Lee Radziwill and Jacqueline Kennedy- Onassis. But the fundamental difference that separated Jayne from her elite circle of aristocratic friends was her own rags to riches story. Jayne reinvented herself after she married into the vast fortune of Standard Oil heir, Charles Wrightsman a socially ambitious man who transformed Jayne into a swan of Fifth Avenue. She became a connoisseur of French 17th and 18th century decor and amassed a priceless collection of paintings by Monet, Renoir, Vermeer.

Wrightsman became hostess to a long roster of social and political elite, entertaining from her palatial Palm Beach mansion that was eventually purchased by Donald Trump.
