Speaking exclusively to the Mail this week former Chelsea-based nutritionist and neuromuscular expert Hamish Hurley (bottom left) accused his former lover’s legal team of ‘rewriting our whole relationship’ after claims made in court that he ‘sexually pressurised her and physically abused her’. He says he has around 40,000 WhatsApp messages which prove otherwise. Mandy Gray (centre), on the other hand, is claiming that Hamish has no right to the spoils gathered during their time together despite them being in joint names. There’s the company shares, an Italian villa, a New Zealand sheep farm and four hypercars currently garaged in Switzerland. She has launched an extraordinary legal bid to stop him getting his hands on what she says is all hers. Pictured, her ex-husband Randy Work (top left), the 16th-century Castello di Reschio estate in Umbria the couple bought together (top right) and the £5million Oyster 825 they named 'Enso'.

Jordan Adlard Rogers, 31, says he had spent several years trying to prove Charles Rogers was his real father while struggling to make ends meet. He had several requests for a test to be done turned away while his father was still alive. But after Charles was found dead in his car on the estate in August last year at the age of 62 a test was finally carried out - and confirmed they were related. And with Charles’ mother and brother also having passed away, Jordan was left as heir to the grand estate. He has now moved into the lavish 1536-acre National Trust Penrose Estate and said he is immersing himself in his new way of life and his newfound family’s history. The Rogers family have lived on the site between Helston and Porthleven in Cornwall for generations, gifting it to the National Trust in 1974 in exchange for a 1,000-year lease to continue living there.

The members of Market Deeping Model Railway Club were last night in tears all over again following an astonishing global response to their appeal for help. They are pictured (from left): Peter Davies, Colin Brown, Bill Sowerby and Mick Quinn. Pictured top right, bottom right and inset: The trashed display. Some of the ‘layouts’ had taken decades to create — and were still a work in progress.

Since she bought the cottage in a picturesque Peak District village of Glossop nine years ago, she has been locked in a series of bitter court rows which ended with her being arrested, and now cleared, of squatting. Maths teacher Miss Patel bought the cottage, her first home, in 2010 for £162,500. She spent £30,000 doing it up before moving in to the property three years later. But her problems stated before she even moved in when, during the renovation work, builders were accused of damaging 12 'thackstone' tiles on a neighbouring property.

Isaac Roblett, 24, from Hastings, East Sussex flew to the Illinois city on April 24 for the trip of a lifetime with American girlfriend Camila Iglesia, 23 (pictured left together). He had been talking about spending three months in the country under an ESTA permit. But when Mr Roblett arrived in the country, immigration officials questioned him about his reasons for travel. They scoured his phone and discovered a text message (right) about 'moving' and feared he may stay in the country long term. Marketing manager Mr Roblett was locked up in a cell for a day and interrogated in a windowless room for an hour and a half. He was deported the next day without seeing Ms Iglesia and is now also banned from visiting the US for life.

Britain's most prolific hangman Albert Pierrepoint, who executed around 600 criminals, recorded the details of every hanging in a leather notebook which is going up for auction (top inset). The macabre item is being sold along with a death mask (left) of the executioner who died in 1992. Pierrepoint (bottom inset, right) was responsible for the hangings of a number of Nazi war criminals and the last woman executed in the UK, Ruth Ellis. In the book, Pierrepoint details the size of the criminals's necks and the length of the drop to the floor (right).

The Portsmouth-based HMS Defender warship practices hitting a fast-moving, low-level target in a fiery test off the coast of Scotland. The ship's senior warfare officer, Lieutenant Commander Daniel Lee, called it a 'rewarding experience'. He said: 'Proving the effectiveness of the Sea Viper system against a more challenging target reassures us in the ability of HMS Defender to deliver on operations as an air defence destroyer.'

The Brexit Party leader vented fury at his security and 'radicalised Remainers' today after he was splattered with a £5.25 Five Guys banana and salted caramel dairy drink  on his European election tour. Mr Farage was heard saying 'how did you not stop that?' as he was bustled away by security as he made the latest stop of his campaign in Newcastle. A 32-year-old-man - identified as Paul Crowther - was arrested on suspicion of common assault and put in handcuffs by police. Mr Farage tweeted afterwards: 'Sadly some remainers have become radicalised, to the extent that normal campaigning is becoming impossible.' He later told reporters that the milkshake was 'yobbo flavoured' and he is understood to have made a statement to Northumbria Police.

Tommy Whitmore crashed his Ford Ranger head-on into a Renault Megane on the A1139 in Peterborough, killing the three people inside. They were driver Marko Makula, his fiancee Jana Kockova (together, top left) and her 19-year-old brother Tomas Kocko (bottom right), who was the rear seat passenger. Whitmore (inset), of Cowbit, near Spalding in Lincolnshire, admitted causing the deaths of the three by dangerous driving. Tomas and Jana's parents Marcela Kokova and Ladislav Markula (right) wept outside court today.

Sir Rod Stewart (inset top) has donated £10,000 to Market Deeping Model Railway Club in Lincolnshire after replica trains worth thousands of pounds were destroyed by vandals over the weekend (left). Sir Rod called on fellow model railway enthusiasts Roger Daltrey and Jools Holland to follow his example, while more than £60,000 has been raised on a Just Giving site (inset bottom) in less than 24 hours. The act of 'total wanton destruction' left 'grown men in tears' and led to the cancellation of the event at Stamford Welland Academy, which was described as 'looking like a bomb site'. The wreckage has since been cleared so the school could reopen as normal and the club has taken everything salvageable to a storage site. Pictured right is model train enthusiast Paul Andrews with his damaged exhibit.

Isaac Roblett, 24, from Hastings, East Sussex flew to the Illinois city on April 24 for the trip of a lifetime with American girlfriend Camila Iglesia, 23 (pictured left together). He had been talking about spending three months in the country under an ESTA permit. The Electronic System for Travel Authorisation allows you to stay in the US for up to 90 days without needing a VISA. They cost around £9, and must be applied for at least 72 hours before you travel. But when Mr Roblett arrived in the country, immigration officials questioned him about his reasons for travel. They scoured his phone and discovered a text message about 'moving' (right) and feared he may stay in the country long term. He claims that in reality, he was visiting his girlfriend for their one year anniversary. The couple had met on Tinder as she studied on an exchange at Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance in Sidcup, Kent. Mr Roblett is not even allowed to appeal his ban. Describing the reaction of immigration officials as he was informed of it, he said: 'When they told me this so many of the guards were mocking my British accent. They were asking if I wanted tea and crumpets.' The couple are, however, hoping to see each other in the UK next week.

Kate, 37, got her hands dirty as she joined a group of schoolchildren for a fireside chat (left) and outdoor activities (right and inset) in the Back To Nature Garden, which will be visited by the Queen this evening ahead of its public opening tomorrow. The garden, which Kate hopes will inspire families 'to get outside' and 'enjoy nature', features a tree house, waterfall, rustic den and a campfire as well as tree stumps, stepping stones and a hollow log for children to play on.

Nigel Farage launched a full-frontal attack on Boris Johnson today - warning he cannot be trusted to keep his promises. The Brexit Party leader flatly rejected the idea of a pact with Mr Johnson if he takes over from Theresa May, pointing out that the former foreign secretary had voted for the PM's deal. Mr Farage also dismissed questions about the sources of funding for his new political outfit, saying rivals were just 'jealous'. The combative comments came as Mr Farage (pictured in Exeter today) pushed on with his frantic campaigning ahead of crucial European elections this week - where the Brexit Party is on track to trample both the Tories and Labour.

Samantha Robson (right), 39, from Macclesfield, Cheshire, met Tanya Sellars in 2013 when she sought a childminder for her two-year-old son Ewan (also right, now aged nine). The pair became good friends (inset), and Ms Robson eventually trusted Sellars with a key to her house. But at the start of 2017, they noticed money going missing. Self-employed hairdresser Samantha and husband Mark, 38, were so worried about the missing money, they installed CCTV cameras inside their own home. Reviewing the footage in July 2017, they were shocked to discover Sellars using her key to creep inside their home and rifling through their son's wallet in search of cash (left). Sellars received a 21 month suspended sentence at Liverpool Crown Court in March 2018 after pleading guilty to three counts of burglary and one count of theft. She had earlier been found guilty of one further count of burglary in August 2017.

Engineers have now fixed a fuel issue which grounded dozens of flights yesterday in and out of Manchester Airport. A power failure caused a problem with getting fuel into the jets, leading to many passengers being stranded on the runway, after planes were unable to be refuelled. However, thousands of passengers still faced delays today with 23 delays and four cancellations, after a power cut stopped planes refuelling. In the early hours of this morning Manchester Airport released a statement which said they were expecting the majority of flights to run on time. Passengers were warned to check the status of their flight with individual airlines. This morning passengers were still queuing (left) while some stated they waiting one hour for their baggage (bottom centre/right.)

The parents (bottom right) of quadriplegic man Vincent Lambert (left), who has been in a vegetative state since a car accident in 2008, say the decision to end his life at the Sebastopol hospital in Reims, France is 'shameful'. The lawyer for Pierre and Viviane Lambert said doctors had begun switching off the systems this morning. Pope Francis (top right) has called out modern 'throwaway culture' and asked for life to be safeguarded.

Local television video showed the horrible moment a referee in Bolivia collapsed on the pitch before he suffered two heart attacks and later died at a local hospital on Sunday. Víctor Hugo Hurtado (left; lying on stretcher in the inset; pictured in the red circle on the right) was taking charge of the Always Ready and Oriente Petrolero's Bolivian league game when he suddenly fell in the 47th minute.  Video footage showed that Hurtado was looking at one of the players striking the ball before he fainted at Villa Ingenio Municipal Stadium in El Alta.

The body of Mikhail Sedykh (left), 32, was driven into the city of Voronezh, Russia on the roof rack of a Volga sedan (right), because his family say they could not afford the undertakers costs to transport the his body for an autopsy. Having apparently died in a shed at his home, a friend offered to take the corpse on the 38-mile drive to save on money. Investigators say they are looking into the cause of the man's death.
