MILLIONS of holidaymakers could save some money as new rules on roaming charges have been announced.

Ofcom has confirmed that from October 1, 2024, network operators must provide clear information to users abroad, including roaming charges and spending limits.

They will have to tell users when they start roaming, including any ‘fair use’ or time restrictions that may apply.

‘Fair use’ determines how much of your UK data allowance you can use while roaming in Europe.

The watchdog said users should be informed how to set a spending limit and where to get help if they are unsure about roaming charges.

Before Brexit, you could use your existing calling, data and texting rates for free in Europe.

But Ofcom found that one in five (19%) holidaymakers are still unaware that they could face extra charges if they use their phone abroad.

A similar percentage (18%) say they do not research roaming costs before traveling.

Sue Davies, head of consumer protection policy at Which?, says these changes could help prevent people from being hit with high mobile bills they didn’t expect.

She said: “The new rules fall short because they do not suggest that providers should provide compensation to UK residents who accidentally fall foul of roaming charges, and they do not outline what this would look like.

“When Britain negotiates future trade deals, it must seize the opportunity to reduce the cost of roaming for consumers traveling around the world.

“The UK and EU must also reach an agreement on roaming charges so that people do not have to deal with excessive bills from providers.”

Cristina Luna-Esteban, Ofcom’s director of telecoms consumer policy, said: “The last thing holidaymakers want when returning from a trip abroad is an unexpected mobile phone bill.

“Currently, some customers are not receiving clear information from their carrier to help them manage their mobile usage and plan their spending.

“Our new protections ensure that you are told what it will cost when you start roaming, so you can be confident that you will not be faced with any surprises when it comes to your mobile bill while on holiday.”

ROAMING IN EUROPE

Those traveling with EE, Three, Vodafone, Sky and Voxi face varying charges.

This is what you have to pay when you roam abroad:

• EE: £2.29 per day for contract customers, or if you have an Inclusive Extras plan you can buy a Roam Abroad Pass for £25 per month. £2.50 per day, or £10 for seven days, if you pay as you go. 50 GB “fair use” limit.

• Three: £2 per day for contract customers, no charge for pay-as-you-go. You can buy a Data Passport for £5 for unlimited data in 89 countries. 12 GB “fair use” limit.

• Vodafone: £2.25 per day, or buy a European roaming pass for £10 for 8 days or £15 for 15 days, if you are a contract customer. From £7 for eight days if you pay as you go. 25 GB “fair use” limit.

• Sky: £2 per day. No ‘fair use’ limit.

• Voxi: £2.25 per day for one day, £4 for two days, £10 for eight days or £15 for 15 days. 20 GB “fair use” limit.

O2 customers don’t have to worry about this as the company prides itself on being the only major mobile operator not to reintroduce roaming charges in Europe.

An O2 spokesperson said: “[We are] We save our customers money and offer them incredible value when they travel to the most popular vacation destinations.

“Our customers benefit from using their calls, texts and data as they would at home when they are in Europe, up to 25 GB, and wherever our customers go, we send them a text message when they arrive at their destination , where we explain any data limits and charges that may apply.”

Lindsay Hubbard claimed Carl Radke is “not a very sexual person,” as he describes their sex life in the latest episode of Summer house.

“How often do you have sex?” Paige DeSorbo she asked during the Thursday, March 21 episode of the Bravo series, which was filmed in July 2023. Lindsay, 37, replied, “Like once every few weeks.”

Paige, 31, was shocked by Lindsay’s revelation and told her: “You need to change that!”

“You probably have more sex with your long-distance boyfriend than you do with me,” Lindsay said, referring to Paige’s relationship with Southern charm‘S Craig Conover who lives in another state. Paige teased, “Craig and I are king all the time.”

Amanda Batula noted that Lindsay shouldn’t “compare” her and Carl’s romance to her own Kyle Cooke since they’ve been together for almost ten years. However, Amanda said Amanda, 32, and Kyle, 42, had sex “every day” during the second year of their relationship.

Lindsay shared that when she and Carl, 39, are intimate, they have “such good sex,” but hinted that Carl didn’t seem interested in upping their bedroom game.

“Your damn boyfriend and your husband are on the initiative. Mine just won’t even start,” she claimed of her then-fiancé.

While Amanda and Paige encouraged Lindsay to keep trying with Carl, Paige later expressed her concerns about their relationship during a confessional.

“I feel like when people talk about their sex lives, they’re kind of lying,” she told the cameras, explaining that Lindsay saying they “don’t have sex for two weeks in a row” in “girl math” means it was really “six weeks” of nothing. “I don’t make the rules, but that’s alarming,” Paige admitted.

Carl wasn’t in the Hamptons when Lindsay told the girls about their bedroom problems. Kyle, meanwhile, told the group of boys that he had heard about similar issues between the couple through friends.

“People who have been to their apartment have told me that it looks like they may be sleeping separately there as well,” Kyle claimed while speaking to Craig, who was in town to visit Paige, and roommates. Jesse Solomon And WestWilson.

Kyle noted that based on Carl and Lindsay’s drama during the first few weeks of the summer, he thought there were “deep-seated issues” between them. “I’m worried about the man,” he admitted.

Earlier this season, Lindsay accused Carl of drug use several times, which he adamantly denied. The tension led to Carl deciding to skip that Friday in the Hamptons in an effort to “break the cycle of the Friday night fight.”

We weekly confirmed in August 2023 that Carl had called off his engagement to Lindsay after filming season 8. The couple planned to tie the knot in November.

Summer house airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9pm ET.

WestWilson not sure how Carl Radke And Lindsay Hubbard could ‘exist’ in Summer house together.

“It would definitely be a challenge,” Wilson, 28, said exclusively We weekly about the reunion of the exes Summer house. “From what I’ve seen since the end of the summer I haven’t seen any fights, they’ve just avoided each other. I don’t know how that could exist. I mean, unless you walk past someone for two months and don’t make eye contact.

He continues: “But who knows. They’ve been doing it forever.”

Us confirmed in August 2023 that Radke, 39, and Hubbard, 37, had called off their engagement. The couple, who started dating in late 2021, were expected to tie the knot in Mexico in November 2023.

Wilson was friends with Hubbard when he joined the Bravo series during Season 8 in 2024. But he tells Us that he ‘naturally’ ‘got a lot more man talk’ from Radke.

“I knew they clearly had their problems,” Wilson says. “There were red flags, but for me I still felt like I was comfortable with everyone. So I probably swallowed a lot more, and that felt a bit like another couple was fighting Summer house.”

He admits, “I probably didn’t read as much into it as I should have, to be honest.”

Hubbard raised eyebrows when she questioned Radke’s sobriety during a Season 8 episode Summer house. After the episode aired, she admitted that she wished she had used “better wording.”

Wilson, for his part, explains Us he “never” wondered about Radke’s sobriety, adding, “I’ve never seen Carl stoic and in control.”

He adds that Hubbard’s comments were “something that we can all objectively think about and say is probably not the best thing to do to your partner.”

After Radke and Hubbard closed the chapter on their relationship, Wilson says he gave them both space, texted them, but “definitely played neutral.”

“I don’t think either of them were looking for a point of view from me, but it’s clear that they both want their stories to be told,” Wilson says. “I think we’ve figured that out now.”

As for whether the pair seem happier apart, Wilson says Radke is “finding his feet,” adding, “But I imagine it’ll be a while before you can definitely get back on your horse. ”

And some contain plant sterols, which prevent the body from absorbing cholesterol.

During the summer season, it is essential to pay attention to our cholesterol levels to maintain good heart health. Fortunately, there are plenty of delicious foods available that can help increase our good cholesterol levels and keep us feeling healthy and energetic. Here are eight simple summer foods you can include in your diet to promote good cholesterol:

1. Avocado:

Avocados are rich in healthy fats that can help increase HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, the good type of cholesterol.

2. Nuts:

Almonds, walnuts and other nuts are packed with nutrients that can improve cholesterol levels. Enjoy a handful of nuts as a snack or add them to your salads and yogurt.

3. Olive Oil:

Use olive oil as your primary cooking oil instead of butter or vegetable oil. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fats that can increase HDL cholesterol levels.

4. Oily Fish:

Salmon, mackerel and trout are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which can increase good cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation in the body.

5. Oats:

Start your day with a bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh fruit. Oats are high in soluble fiber, which can help lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels while increasing HDL cholesterol.

6. Fruits and Vegetables:

Add a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables to your summer meals. They are rich in antioxidants and fiber, which can improve heart health and cholesterol levels.

7. Legumes:

Beans, lentils and chickpeas are all excellent sources of soluble fiber and plant protein, which can help lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol levels.

8. Green Tea:

Swap sugary drinks for refreshing green tea. Green tea contains antioxidants called catechins, which may help improve cholesterol levels and protect against heart disease.

EVERTON are keeping tabs on Sunderland’s left-back Oli Bainbridge.

The powerful 18-year-old prospect is tipped to move to the Black Cats squad before the end of the season.

Bainbridge signed a contract with Sunderland last summer.

The contract, which was signed in June, keeps the youngster tied to the club until 2025.

Sunderland also have the option to extend the deal for a further 12 months.

Academy manager Robin Nicholls was delighted after confirming Bainbridge’s new deal.

He told the club website: “It is great news that Ollie has committed his future to the club for the coming seasons.

“He is someone who showed strong performances and potential last season and who always wants to develop himself as a player.

“This contract is a reflection of the hard work he and his family have put in over the years.”

Bainbridge was part of Sunderland’s selection for the first time on Saturday.

He was an unused substitute in their goalless draw with QPR at the Stadium of Light.

The result ended a run of six consecutive defeats for Sunderland, who have not won since a 3-1 victory over Plymouth on February 10.

They have fallen from play-off contention to obscurity in the middle of the Championship, 13 points behind the top six.

Lindsay Hubbard And Carl Radke shots exchanged during the last episode of Summer house – including accusations of “gaslighting” on both sides.

Lindsay, 37, and Carl, 39, appeared in season 8 of Summer house as a (seemingly) happily engaged couple, but after four episodes it became clear that they were having relationship problems. During the Thursday, March 14 episode, which was filmed in July 2023, Lindsay and Carl argued about Carl’s sobriety for the second weekend in a row.

“You accused me of doing drugs again,” Carl told Lindsay after a night out with their friends. “[It’s] so damn.”

Carl claimed that when he told his then-fiancée that he wanted to leave dinner, she chose to go home with him. During their car ride back, things got heated and Lindsay reportedly told Carl that she thinks “there’s something wrong with you.”

When Lindsay didn’t believe Carl’s explanation that he was tired, he flipped the script and asked her, “How many drinks have you had?” Carl claimed that Lindsay then shot back, “What are you doing?” and called him a “liar” when he denied being high. (Carl has been sober from alcohol since 2021, but does smoke weed occasionally.)

‘Carl, do you smoke weed? Did you smoke weed tonight?” Lindsay asked Carl during their fight at the Hamptons house, to which he said no. Lindsay joked, “You are the biggest gaslighter I have ever met. You’re literally like this [Tom] Sandoval straight away.”

Lindsay further claimed that Carl “got into a fight” with her in the car, stating that “now everyone knows you’re not an angel.”

She then rushed into the kitchen to search Amanda Batula. “He is literally the biggest gaslighter I have ever met,” Lindsay shouted, surprising Amanda, 32.

“He’s a king terrorist,” Lindsay continued, claiming Carl “bullied” her in the car. “I’m like, ‘What the fuck? Why are you so aggressive with me?’ Then suddenly he changes his story, like, “You’ve been drinking.”

Lindsay noted that Carl is the “most amazing human being ever,” but she claimed he also “has a lot of demons and those demons are coming for me.”

She claimed: “It’s a Jekyll and Hyde, smoke and mirrors situation. I do not make a joke. I am the only one on earth who has seen his bad side.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Carl and Lindsay tried to talk out their issues. The conversation quickly spiraled out of control when Lindsay claimed he was “so aggressive” during the car altercation.

“[That’s] so unfair. Lindsay, you were the one who was aggressive. You swore, raised your voice and then you started telling me I’m on something,” Carl said, to which Lindsay replied, “So you’re changing the story of what happened.”

Lindsay argued that Carl acted like he was “the calmest person ever” but said he was actually “angry a lot.” She claimed, “Last night you were angry.”

Carl shot back, “That’s gaslighting. You got in the car and were already angry with me because you didn’t understand why I wanted to go home.” He claimed: “I was trying to be calm.”

The duo ended the conversation when Carl yelled at Lindsay, saying, “I’m upset. You start insulting me and literally telling me I’m on drugs and it’s so hurtful.

Lindsay fired back, telling him to “lower his f–king tone” and claiming Carl was “changing the story again” and was “too angry” to mend fences.

“She doubles down [how] her questioning about drugs is justified. In my opinion, it’s her way of rationalizing her drunkenness,” Carl told Amanda after the outburst, noting, “I’ve also witnessed [her outbursts] before we were a couple. But as a couple and lover it is not easy.”

Less than two months after this fight was filmed, We weekly confirmed in August 2023 that Carl had called off his engagement to Lindsay.

Savannah Chrisley is convinced that her parents, Todd And Julie Chrisleywill leave prison sooner or later.

“[I’m] I look forward to our call on April 19,” said 26-year-old Savannah Entertainment tonight in an interview on Thursday, March 14. “Obviously I hope to have them home, maybe later in the summer.”

Since Savannah’s parents reported to prison in 2023, she has been busy raising her two younger siblings, Grayson, 17, and Chloe, 11, and advocating for her mom and dad on social media.

“I’m just trying to do everything,” Savannah told the outlet. “Raising a 17- and 11-year-old is a full-time job, but I also have to work and try to create a life for them, and fight with lawyers day in and day out to get my parents home.”

She added that when her parents come home soon, she plans to join in Kim Kardashian’s footsteps and going to law school so she can continue fighting for those who need a voice.

“I would do that when my mother got home,” she explained. “I told Grayson I would do it. So when Mom comes home, obviously it will be her and Chloe, or if Mom and Dad both come home, then I would definitely go back to school and try to become a lawyer. It’s never too late to follow your dreams. If I could be a lawyer by the time I’m 30 or 32, maybe I could do it.”

Todd, 54, and Julie, 51, were first indicted in 2019 on charges of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy. After a lengthy process, the Chrisley knows best The couple was found guilty in June 2022. Nearly six months later, the real estate magnate was sentenced to twelve years in prison, while his wife received seven years. The couple has maintained their innocence.

The duo reported for their respective prison sentences in January 2023. Todd began serving his sentence at FPC Pensacola, a minimum security facility in Florida, while Julie began serving her time at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. In 2023, their sentences were reduced, with Todd now serving ten years, while Julie will serve five years.

“I think that makes me feel better about it, because I know this is not my final destination,” Todd said during a pre-recorded January episode of the “Chrisley Confessions” podcast, which was posted after he arrived at prison. . “I know this may be my future for a while, but I also have faith that the legal system will change this. I am also confident that the court of appeal will see this for what it is.”

Savannah’s passion for advocacy began shortly after seeing her parents behind bars. “Why do we keep letting people down? It tears families apart,” she said in November 2022 on her “Unlocked” podcast. “Look at everything we’re going through. How is that fair? It’s not like there are rapists and murderers and human traffickers and all these people here, but still, what? They just get a slap on the wrist.”

She continued: “It all comes down to the fact that we are in the public eye and someone wants to prove a point. And it’s honestly sad. At this point I feel like I’ve become a little numb to it for me, but that numbness has turned into anger, to where now it’s like I won’t give up. There is no other option.”

Khloe Kardashian’s face looked very different in a new photo shared to Instagram on Thursday morning.

The 39-year-old reality TV dynamo had her hair pulled back by a wide black headband that showed off her face while she wore gold hoop earrings.

But the mother-of-two’s face appeared distorted, probably due to the use of a powerful filter.

While most comments were very flattering, some said they thought her face looked different. One commented: ‘This is not your face.’ Another said: ‘I think she’s not Khloe, does anyone know who she is?’

Khloe has relied on filters to smooth out her face for years, and is often criticized for going overboard, as she is already stunningly beautiful without any help.

In 2021, the Kocktails With Khloe veteran shared on her Insta Stories that she used a lot of filters that sister Kourtney Kardashian told her about.

Alongside the final snippet, she wrote: “Mary God bless your filter. Don’t tell Kourt I learned something from her.”

Khloe admitted to using the filter – which improved lighting and slightly changed her appearance – after she was accused of editing all her photos for social media.

She came under fire for this when an unedited photo of her in a leopard print bikini leaked online. She looked pale and had skin abnormalities, which never appear on her page.

Although Khloe still looked naturally toned, slim and beautiful, she may have been shocked by the stark contrast to her heavily edited pin-up photos.

In this new image, Khloe also wears a low-cut black top with matching leggings as she sits on a cream couch with a pillow while a microphone holds her hands above her head.

Behind her stands a woman in a white top, while in the background a screen with Khloe’s image can be seen.

The caption reads: ‘Me and my Paxy PP.’ She may be working on the reality TV show for Hulu titled The Kardashians.

This comes after the side rinfluence on aging.

As she wished her best friends — twins Malika and Khadijah Haqq — a happy 41st birthday on Instagram, she shared some thoughts on “growing up” as she approaches the milestone that sisters Kourtney, 44, and Kim, 43, have already crossed.

‘Growing up is really a strange thing. When you’re younger, all you want to do is party, be outside, be seen, be in the mix. You have a lot of friends, but none of them really know who you are,” Kardashian began.

‘Then you get a little older and with each year that passes, you long for more simplicity. More peace. You long for friends you can count on one hand. You long to do ‘nothing’ with someone. The things that make you feel safe,” she added.

She also spoke to her friends Malika and Khadijah: ‘To the twins: You are my safe place. You are the ones I want to do everything and nothing with. You are the ones I have always been able to count on.

“Blessed to have had my safe place since we were young teenagers. Ever since I met you girls, we just clicked. We just understand each other. We became triplets and we never looked back.”

Kardashian then wrote, “Thank you for trusting me with everything you do. Thank you for holding my hand as we go through life.

“It has been a privilege and an honor to have had a friendship for so long and I cherish the years we spent together. Ohhhhhh the memories we have ♡ ohhhhhh the secrets that will die with the US lol.

“I know the magic that exists within your souls and I can’t wait to see you shine brighter every year. This is just the beginning!!” she continued.

“Some people come into our lives and make it better, you two make life better. Sweeter, more memorable.

“Thank you for never judging me when I made mistakes, for laughing until we cried, for crying until we laughed, for the sleepless nights of fun and for always being there. You both will always be my person, my ride or die, through thick and thin, until the end…..and there is no end to it!!” Kardashian concluded the lengthy message.

Kardashian is mom to daughter True, 5, and son Tatum, 19 months, with ex Tristan Thompson.

We live in strange times where every day seems to bring more “Oh no, now.” that is also went south’ news. The local pub, the cinema, the banks, the post office (don’t mention the post office!). But there’s one notable exception to the ‘It can only get worse’ rule: Marks & Spencer.

The country’s trusted provider of all the basic necessities and then some has had what the youth call ‘a shine’ and is now in a better place than anyone can remember. Especially when it comes to fashion. People are talking about M&S ​​clothes and not just the swimsuits and jumpers.

The company has achieved a remarkable fashion achievement. Since last autumn’s bumper collection under new head of womenswear Maddy Evans, with that memorable ad campaign fronted by Sienna Miller, it has built a reputation for absorbing the key trends and creating consumer-friendly versions of a high standard of quality at affordable prices.

And, crucially, these aren’t just the safest and most accessible trends.

M&S wants to be the brand that ‘every woman has something of’ and therefore produced the silver trousers (fashionista bait) last season; that quilted khaki jacket that became every park-walking woman’s favorite, and why the basic jeans are suddenly worth a try – not least because they come in 25 different styles, all in short, regular and long lengths. Sales of holidaywear and denim in particular are behind the 56 percent increase in profits reported at the end of last year, making M&S the largest retailer of women’s clothing in Britain.

And with their new spring/summer collection, unveiled today, it’s clear the store is aiming even higher.

So what’s on offer for the summer? The answer is the best customization you will see on the high street.

Confident that we use it for its quality and value for money (that’s covered), M&S has turned its attention to the kind of smarter clothes you wear for socializing and work, and to the 300,000 weddings (gulp) expected to take place in Britain. this summer.

In the TV campaign that starts next week, you’ll see the hero pieces: a three-piece linen shorts; long dark denim city shorts with a black one-shoulder top: a white sleeveless cotton poplin dress, worn under a black linen blazer with one button and beautiful silver pumps. These are fashion-conscious, well-cut clothes for a confident customer. (If you’re worried about the one-shoulder look, because it’s M&S, totally bra-friendly.)

Still, I’ll spend my money on the extra quality clothing you get with the premium Autograph and M&S Collection labels. These jackets, trousers and skirts are finished to almost Savile Row standards. Standout pieces for summer include a cobalt blue single-button linen jacket (€99) and matching wide-leg trousers (€39.50) and an ice-coloured light pink linen trouser suit with a long buttonless jacket. (£55) and a pair of high-waisted trousers with pleats at the front (£39.50), which I would love to wear to a wedding.

There’s also a matte satin, silver-grey tuxedo-style wrap jacket with shawl collar (€69), as well as matching wide trousers with darts that sit high on the waist to elongate the legs (€39.50), in red carpet quality. (You’d wear it with nothing underneath and silver heels.) This is great tailoring for less than half the price you’ll find elsewhere.

If you’re looking for something chic but more everyday, the oatmeal linen trench coat (£79) would brighten up one of M&S’s khaki cargo skirts or those palazzo jeans. Or a beige utility shirt, discreetly sprinkled with sequins (€49.50), would be a great way to dress up navy blue or white trousers.

This collection is big on ‘feminized’ tailoring: shorts, in all lengths; jackets from belted to cropped; wide and wider trousers – because that is the direction fashion is going. But this is M&S, so it’s suitable all ladies and there are skirts (of course in two lengths, midi and long), including the best-selling slip skirt, tried and tested and now back in leopard print (€29.50). There’s also a short-sleeved draped chiffon dress with leopard print that would look great on my 30-something niece.

That is the mission of M&S. They are leading in the market for customers aged 35 to 55 and they now want to become one everyone’s first point of contact – not just for holidays and linen shirts and sweaters – but for every summer event, high and low.

If you like customization, you will love this new collection. And if you don’t… there are many more casual hits in the Per Una and holiday collections.
