A COUNCIL is left feeling red after a disused beachside public toilet sold at auction for £169,000 – more than eight times its value.

The Sun said on Tuesday that the former washbasin, which overlooks a castle and sandy coast, had a guide price of £20,000.

But online bidders went past that figure for the Long Rock estate near Penzance which was auctioned for Cornwall Council.

The building was sold with a strip of land of 0.12 hectares.

Senior auction valuer Katie Semmens said: “This is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire this detached former public amenity block with land on either side.

“Situated in a truly spectacular coastal location, it offers stunning views of St Michael’s Mount and Mount’s Bay.

“Occasionally these types of properties are auctioned, although rarely in these types of locations.

”They can offer a variety future use, all subject to all necessary permissions.”

It’s not the first time an old toilet block in Cornwall has fetched loads of money.

In 2008, ex-public toilets in Newlyn cost £73,000 – five times the guide price.

And in 2015, another in Charlestown sold for a whopping £115,000.

In 2018, a former toilet block in Newlyn with sea views sold for £73,000 – almost five times the asking price – while in 2015 a former toilet block in Charlestown sold for £115,000.

SUMMER has arrived early for Apollonia Llewellyn fans.

The boxing influencer sent her followers into action with praise thanks to her risqué bikini photos from a glittering beach in Los Angeles.

The model’s adoring followers consider her the Apoll of their sighs, calling her ‘crazy hot’ and ‘perfect’.

The Misfits ring star changed into a familiar favorite: a tiny pink outfit.

And fans were all over her (almost) tan.

One enthusiast claimed that the photos showed that Apollonia has the “wealth of a beautiful woman”.

Others described the social media dazzler as “so amazing” and “looking fantastic”.

In addition to her having the ‘wow’ factor, Apollonia’s admirers also announced that she was ‘so damn beautiful’.

The TikTok sensation previously boasted about her days on the California coast: “Beach days every day.”

But this Saturday she will trade sand and sun for Solihull and football – as they say in the US – as a ‘celebrity manager’ at home.

Apollonia revealed she is taking charge of Solihull Moors in a special capacity for a National League trip to promotion rivals Aldershot.

She wrote on her Instagram Story: “I’m going to be the famous football manager next week… so make sure you grab your tickets and I’ll see you there.”

It might not be quite what her followers had in mind, based on her revealing LA snaps.

But the football fan is determined to prove she can be just as big a draw in the West Midlands.

After all, if you can’t perform on a cold, rainy afternoon in Solihull…

Katie Price looked like she didn’t have a care in the world as she left as she departed a screening of Celebrity Ex On The Beach hours after being declared bankrupt.

The former glamour model’s second bankruptcy was revealed on Monday, after the star, 45, failed to pay over £750,000 in unpaid tax – and will now face losing her home unless HMRC can recover the money.

But Katie wasn’t letting her financial woes get her down as she enjoyed a night out on Monday evening with Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry and TOWIE’S Bobby Norris.

The reality star put on a busty display in a low cut black vest with a cut out detail that highlighted her toned midriff.

She also sported white and blue leather trousers and tied a black leather jacket around her waist.

Beaming from ear to ear, Katie styled her brunette locks into a ponytail and added to her look with a pair of hoop earrings.

Linking arms with her pal Chloe, the mother-of-five completed her look for the evening with a pair of black heels.  

Katie failed to appear at a court hearing in London to explain why she has not paid any money to HMRC.

A judge at the High Court ruled that she be declared bankrupt after an official from HMRC said she has failed to pay any money owed or responded to any correspondence since the demand was made for the unpaid tax last year. 

Katie was speaking to the Mail’s podcast Straight to the Comments! when the news broke, which embraces the hilarity and uniqueness of the MailOnline comment section with the celebs in question, with her episode to air next week.

When told there was a new story about her, Katie gasped in shock and said: ‘Has it? Oh get lost! Are you actually serious, while I’m sat here? What have I done now?’

After hearing that she had been declared bankrupt a second time, she said she had been signed off because of ‘serious stuff’ in her life.

She said: ‘I know I had court last week or the week before. Because of what’s going on in my life, I’ve actually been signed off because I’m dealing with serious stuff.’

Katie went on to claim that she ‘doesn’t get away’ with not paying, insisting that she is making payments.

She said: ‘There’s all different kinds of bankruptcy, I think they just use the word bankruptcy. No one actually knows the ins and outs of everything.

‘And trust me I don’t get away with stuff either. Like you can’t – tax you can’t ever run away from, you have to pay. Don’t think I sit here and don’t pay stuff because I do.’

It is the second bankruptcy faced by Katie as she is being chased by creditors for a £3.2million payment over the failure of her company Jordan Trading Ltd.

Judge Sebastion Prentis sitting at the High Court Rolls Building said Katie had been served with a petition on November 27 2023 with a demand for £761,994.05.

The huge amount is made up of unpaid tax from self-assessment on her earnings from 2020 – 2022 as well as penalties and surcharges.

The court was told she owed £142,405 in tax for 2020-2021 and £196,735 for 2021-2022.

The judge said she also owed £140,000 in unpaid VAT and added:’ As with the unpaid tax no payment has been made.’

Katie was served with papers in October by HMRC informing her of the debt owed – and she has failed to respond to the demand.

The judge said: ‘There is a substantial debt due from Miss Price due to HMRC and therefore I will make a bankruptcy order.’

Katie, who has become known for flouting her surgically enhanced figure on overseas trips, was first made bankrupt in 2019 when her company went bust.

She has failed to appear at an insolvency hearing on six previous occasions with the model submitting an excuse for her no show each time.

Creditors are owed the £3.2million from her company selling perfume and cosmetics.

A HMRC source said every effort will be made to recover the money and if not paid then assets owed by Katie will be seized.

The debt to HMRC could see her lose her £2million home dubbed the ‘Mucky Mansion’ after it fell into a state of disrepair.

The latest court judgement adds to Katie’s woes after she fined last week for another motoring offence.

She was fined £880 after being caught driving a Range Rover at a service station on the A14 in Kettering, Northamptonshire in August 2023 despite having no licence or insurance.

As well as being handed eight penalty points – taking her total to 11 – the mother-of-five was also ordered to pay £972 in costs on top of the financial penalty.

Last month, a judge at the High Court ruled Katie is set to lose nearly half of her monthly income earned on OnlyFans to cover her debts.

A court in London heard from barrister Darragh Connell – who was representing the trustees – that Katie had previously reached a voluntary agreement over her debts but failed to pay up.

He informed a specialist bankruptcy judge that the previous agreement included the TV personality making 36 monthly payments of £12,500 as well as a lump sum.

The trustees went to court to request an income payments order, meaning money would go from any salary towards paying Katie’s outstanding debt.

Four companies were listed, including adult subscription website OnlyFans and celebrity photography agency Backgrid.

At the end of the hearing, Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton declared the four companies are ‘obligated to deduct 40 per cent of the income due to be paid to Ms Price’ each month for the next 36 months.

She added that the 40 per cent portion will now be paid to a bank account chosen by the trustees.

The court was told that Fenix International Ltd, the parent company of OnlyFans was not disputing the order against Katie. 

Judge Barton said that the reality star is due to face further questions about her finances in April.

In October, Katie appeared on Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast and said she was ‘fed up’ of facing legal action and said she would willingly go to prison to be ‘done with it all’.

She added that she had recently been to court ‘more times than I’ve had hot dinners’ and would ‘genuinely’ not care if she was jailed.

She also told Daisy May Cooper on her Educating Daisy podcast: ‘If they put me into prison, it’s another chapter for the book.’

During an appearance on Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show in March last year, the former Celebrity Big Brother star discussed her bankruptcy and how she had been struggling with her mental health in recent years.

She said: ‘You shouldn’t be ashamed if you have a bankruptcy because for different reasons people go into bankruptcy.

‘I went through a really, really tough time the past three years, mental health and this and that.

‘And when you go through that, you might get bills through and you put everything to the side because you can’t cope with anything.’

During a previous court hearing in October 2020, Katie apologised to the court, adding: ‘I just haven’t been able to deal with these issues or in the right mental state to understand everything that has been going on.’

She also said creditors and officials may think her engagement with them is ‘too little too late’ but that the ‘progress is real’ and she had provided financial information.

In July last year, Katie hit back at internet trolls who questioned her over her bankruptcy, insisting she still ‘owns her £2.5million house’. 

Speaking on TikTok Live, she answered questions from her followers, urging internet bullies ‘not to knock anyone’. 

‘I’m bankrupt, yes, but I still own my 2.5million pound house and I’m sat here in the kitchen doing my TikTok to you,’ she said. 

‘Never knock someone who is bankrupt, we all can go there but it doesn’t mean that it is all bad.’ 

Katie continued: ‘Yeah, my company went bankrupt and you deal with it don’t you. So, don’t ever knock anyone because it could happen to you.’

Only eagle-eyed viewers can make out the red skis on this busy optical illusion on the beach in 15 seconds or less.

This sunny image, designed by an unknown artist, has been baffling viewers for years.

On the beach there are dozens of red and white striped chairs, back to back, interspersed with the occasional red and white parasol.

If you look even closer, you’ll see several small crabs crawling through the sand and even a few dolphins jumping in the background.

But do you see a little pair of red skis?

If you see them in 15 seconds or less, you may have 20/20 vision.

Long, thin and red – just like one of the chair’s stripes – the skis blend in perfectly with their surroundings.

SECRET SUMMER SKI

If you’re having trouble, try looking for the most noticeable stripes to start with.

If you look at the bottom right corner of the image, it gets warmer.

Zoom in on the large umbrella and look at a few chairs in front of it.

Do you see the two skis sticking up?

You’ve found your sand skis.

RADIANT Rebecca Donaldson soaks up the sun as she adjusts to life with her Formula 1 boyfriend Carlos Sainz.

The Scottish model, 28, who was first linked to the Ferrari driver last June, wore a floral bikini during a beach photoshoot.

Rebecca has since appeared at F1 races with the 29-year-old Spaniard, including the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November.

He was replaced by British prodigy Oliver Bearman, 18, during last Saturday’s F1 battle in Saudi Arabia after being struck down with appendicitis.

At least he had the comfort of a pit stop with Rebecca.

Rebecca gained a foothold in the modeling world when she won her first beauty pageant at the age of 17.

“My mother came to see me and I was really surprised when I found out,” she told the Daily Record in 2011.

In addition to her successful modeling career, Donaldson is the founder of Muse, an activewear clothing line she started during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I knew I wanted to create something that I would not only wear and be proud to put my name on, but also something that was missing on the market: affordable, good quality products that are also great for everyday wear, because I found myself struggling to find items that covered all these aspects,” she told Vestd in 2021.

The clothes you’ll find at Muse are transferable from the gym to everyday life and use a neutral, seasonal color palette to make the clothing optional all year round.

COVENTRY CITY’s Ben Sheaf is dreaming of a Wembley final in May.

However, the action-packed midfielder could just as well have prepared for his participation in the Olympic Games in Paris BEACH VOLLEYBAL – if he had followed the family tradition!

“My mother Mandy represented Great Britain and England in beach volleyball and I went to a few European events and watched my brothers Jake and Luke represent GB when I was younger,” he said.

“Jake represented Great Britain in beach volleyball at the Commonwealth Games in Australia, but he is unlikely to make it to the Olympics this year as he now spends more time on the business side of volleyball.

“I chose football quite early in my career because it was the sport I loved most and it turned out to be a good choice.

“Also, my younger brother Max is a professional at Ross County in Scotland, while my father is a PE teacher, so we are a very sporty family.

“But I’d like to think I’d made a good attempt at going pro in a few other sports.

“I played volleyball as a kid and was decent and I was actually quite good at ping pong and tennis, as well as being Kent cross country champion four years in a row.

“I have played all sports and I would like to do well in any sport. Darts is my latest sport and I recently scored my first 180.

“But what I want above all is to establish myself as a Premier League player because I started at Arsenal and I aim to get back to that level.

“Playing Wolves is a challenge we are all looking forward to as it gives us the opportunity to return to Wembley.

“We lost there in the Play-Off final last season and the memory drives us forward because we want to taste what it feels like to win at Wembley.

“The choice between playing an FA Cup final there or a Play-Off final is difficult, but I would go for the Play-Offs because our ultimate ambition is to play in the Premier League.”

A teenager pulled a gun during a fight on a busy Florida beach earlier this week, before running through a crowd with the weapon and fleeing into the ocean.

Felixander Solis-Guzman, 16, was arrested Thursday by Volusia County Sheriff’s Office deputies after the incident in New Smyrna Beach.

Shocking footage shows Solis-Guzman fighting with four individuals on the busy beach before pulling out a firearm.

Agency officers had been on the beach at the time of the incident and gave chase when Solis-Guzman dispersed the partygoers, with one shouting, “He’s got a gun!”

The officer who recorded the incident can be seen running after the teen with his gun raised, yelling at the teen, “Okay, motherfucker, drop the damn gun.”

Solis-Guzman continues to flee the scene with officers hot on his heels and begins running towards the ocean.

Five officers can be seen with guns drawn pointing at Solis-Guzman as he stands in the water at the edge of the beach.

Solis-Guzman begins to obey the officers after several minutes and drops the gun and a bag in the water before surrendering.

As officers bring him in, large crowds of spring breakers can be seen watching the events unfold.

Officers recovered the firearm and the bag from the water, which contained twenty small plastic bags of marijuana.

The teen was charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, possession of a firearm by a person under 18 years of age, improper exhibition of a firearm, committing a second-degree felony with a weapon, resisting a law enforcement officer, 2 counts of tampering with evidence and selling marijuana.

In addition to his charges, he was also arrested on seven active warrants out of Orange County, including robbery with a firearm and probation violation.

He was taken to the Volusia Family Resource Center for treatment before being transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice.

On Friday, the Florida State Attorney’s Office said they had filed adult charges against Solis-Guzman and he would be transferred to the Volusia County Jail.

State’s Attorney RJ Larizza said, “This 16-year-old brought drugs and a gun to Volusia County over spring break.

“He will now face adult charges and serious consequences for his reckless actions.” We welcome spring breakers, as long as they behave.”

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood added, “We don’t play around in Volusia County.

“Don’t let your child be the next to come here as a minor and end up facing a serious criminal as an adult.”

Groups of bikini-clad girls and jeering boys have flocked to Florida beaches as spring break began.

Some girls left little to the imagination and posed for photos in the ocean – presumably to make their friends stuck at home jealous of their tropical vacation.

Elsewhere, groups of half-dressed young people danced at daytime parties on beaches, in the backs of pickup trucks and on boats rented for the day.

As night fell on the beach, partygoers continued drinking late into the night as groups posed for photos outside bars and clubs.

During spring break last year, 488 arrests were made in Miami Beach, of which more than 230 were felonies, and more than 100 firearms were seized.

As a result, officials in Miami announced plans to implement stricter restrictions earlier this year.

City Commissioner Alex Fernandez, who urged Miami to announce this year’s spring break measures, sent an email to voters last weekend celebrating the quiet start to spring break.

In it, Fernandez wrote: ‘Don’t shoot. No stampede. No fatalities. What a difference.’ The city’s goal for weeks was to end Spring Break, which the New York Post said was a “failure.”

In a social media post whose headline used by the outlet was shared on social media, former Miami Mayor Philip Levine posted the headline with clapping hands emojis.

There was an increased police presence along the beach in Miami, with officers on bicycles, buggies and SUVs patrolling the area. Others were seen leading K-9s among sunbathers on the crowded sand.

In contrast, there was barely a patch of open sand to be found on some parts of Fort Lauderdale Beach, often called “Spring Break Central.”

Police and the mayor’s chief of staff in Fort Lauderdale said it had been a successful week with limited crime, as they looked ahead to a tougher challenge – with continued celebrations coinciding with St. Patrick’s Day.

Local police spokesperson Casey Liening told Fox News: “Our spring break crowds have been as expected so far this year, with this week being the busiest week we expect. We haven’t had any major problems or disturbances.’

Ahead of spring break, Mayor Dean Trantalis said there were designated areas where alcohol was allowed, as well as safety measures including date rape drug testing, rideshare options and Narcan.

During a press conference in early March, Trantalis said, “We want to make your spring break experience the best experience you’ve ever had.

‘Why? Because we want you to come back. We want you to come back next year. We want you to come back for years to come, and you might want to make Fort Lauderdale your home.”
