Jenny and Ryan, beside the house. // A couple bought an abandoned house for under ?200k without seeing inside - and found mountains of rubbish, giants spiders and even false teeth.

Les O?Donnell, 70. // A man has received a ?225 fine, for ?sneezing and dropping mucus on to the floor?. Les O?Donnell, 70, was shocked to receive a fine in the post for throwing a cigarette out of the window in September 2025, as he says he abhors littering and would never do it. The pensioner, from Coalville, Leicestershire, claims that the Environmental Protection Officer who saw him was mistaken, and that it was just a blob of mucus that flew out of his hand, on to the street. Les, who works part time as a delivery driver, has appealed the fine, but says his appeal was rejected, despite their not being any photographic evidence of the offence. He said he is prepared to go to court over the matter, thinks that motorists are being targeted as they are a ?soft touch?. Photo released 14/01/2026

This is the moment an astonished mayor spotted a wanted fugitive hiding out in an Italian Christmas nativity scene. Flavio Filoni was walking past the annual festive display which features life size statutes of Mary, Joseph and other biblical characters in a stable. But in what could have been a scene straight from hit Christmas movie Home Alone - where Kevin is running away from bad guys Harry and Marc wraps himself in a towel to disguise himself as a shepherd - mayor Filoni was left stunned to see the unfamiliar figure. Initially thinking how realistic the tableaux was, and complimenting inwardly the good work of the creators, he then did a double take as the figure moved among the bundles of hay in the scene at Galatone, near Lecce in southern Italy.
