Nagging wife who told her bodybuilder husband to tidy the house more and go to the gym less is ARRESTED and locked in cells for 17 hours and charged with 'controlling behaviour'
Valerie Sanders said that she begged her bodybuilder husband Michael, 58, (pictured on their wedding day in 2014) to clean the patio doors, hoover their home and workout less as well as stop shopping at Aldi or Lidl. She also claims that he took steroids - killing their sex life - and couldn't bear to touch his muscly body (right) saying: 'It was like cuddling an ironing board'. Mrs Sanders, from Catterick, North Yorkshire, was arrested and ended up facing charges of controlling behaviour - but her case was thrown out on Tuesday. The mother-of-two said today she was 'treated like a criminal' for asking her husband to do his bit around the house. She said: 'These laws were brought in to help protect vulnerable people - not to prosecute nagging wives'. The couple (inset) are divorcing.
'Emily Maitlis is not to everyone's taste': How BBC bosses tried to throw host under the bus after Tory debate fiasco
A statement appeared on the BBC website last night saying that Maitlis (pictured top) was 'not to everyone's taste', but the critical comment was swiftly removed as the BBC insisted it was sent in error. The errant comment was a response to complaints about Maitlis's performance in last week's Conservative leadership debate (pictured bottom), which some viewers said she had 'failed to control'. Some critics said the debate between Boris Johnson, Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove, Sajid Javid and Rory Stewart In an updated message, the BBC defended Maitlis and said she had 'done a good job during this programme'. The BBC has already faced one storm over the June 18 programme, after it emerged that an imam who questioned the Tory candidates had sent anti-Semitic tweets.

Desperate family of missing Rosie Johnson, 22, join huge search for the zoology graduate on the Isle of Wight after she vanished from activity camp two days ago
Glasgow University graduate Rosie Johnson (pictured left), whose disappearance is said to be 'totally out of character', vanished on Sunday evening from the island activity camp where she worked. Yesterday her parents, David and Julia, and her brother and sister were on the island to join the search after apparently flying from their home in Banchory, Scotland (some of her relatives are seen on the island last night, centre). The alarm was raised after she failed to turn up for her shift as a field studies instructor on Monday morning. But a search for the former zoology student (pictured in progress, top right) was not launched until almost 40 hours later. Yesterday, dozens of police, coastguards and volunteers, assisted by a helicopter, scoured the coast near Wootton Creek, where she was last seen. Residents were asked to check their outbuildings and boats as police said there was no evidence she had left the island. Miss Johnson lived in accommodation on the site of the PGL Little Canada adventure centre, as did her 'on-off' boyfriend Brendan Storer, 27. Pictured bottom right: a map showing where Miss Johnson vanished and where the search has been happening.

Incredible never-before-seen images of the Ground Zero clean-up operation discovered in a worker's photo archive nearly two decades after 9/11 provide a haunting glimpse of the immediate aftermath of the terror attack that killed 3,000 people
An otherwise undistinguished estate sale purchase yielded an incredible archive of never-publicly-before-seen photographs of the Twin Towers clean-up operation, providing a haunting glimpse of 9/11's immediate aftermath. Discovered on a series of damaged CDs, the some 2,400 image were captured on a Canon Powershot G1 by a currently unidentified member of the World Trade Center clean-up crew who has since died. Taken from above and on the ground, the cache of pictures in large show workers and heavy machinery submerged in a deep and ominous chasm of scorched iron, folded metal and the skeletal outlines of office floors which had, just days before, brimmed and bustled with a human pulse.
