PRINCESS Kate has the jewellery collection of dreams, and the royal’s favourite pearl necklace just been reduced by £37 for today only.

Monica Vinader Nura Pearl Fine Chain Necklace, £88.20 (was £126)

The fine chain necklace features a delicate freshwater pearl crafted from 18k gold vermeil, and it’s reduced by an impressive 43% in the Monica Vinader Black Friday sale.

The Princess of Wales wore the Nura Round Fine Chain Necklace just last week when she attended the Remembrance service at the Royal Albert Hall.

It’s not the first time that the royal has been spotted wearing the pearl necklace, so it’s clearly one of her favourites.

The jewellery brand is dropping flash deals each day ahead of Black Friday, meaning that the royal-approved necklace is likely to run for today only.

I’m seriously impressed to see Kate’s exact necklace on sale, but I’m predicting it to sell out fast due to it’s £88 price tag.

The chain necklace can be purchased alone or with the pearl pendant, and fashion fans can even elevate the gold jewellery with extra charms.

Princess Kate accessorised with the Monica Vinader jewellery during her visit to Copenhagen in 2022, and she paired the look with her trusty Aspinal of London Midi Mayfair Bag.

The designer handbag is also on sale right now, and shoppers can score an incredible £130 discount on the royal-approved buy.

The pearl necklace will make the perfect gift for a girlfriend or a loved one, although the 43% discount makes it a worthy treat for yourself ahead of pay day.

Princess Kate has several Monica Vinader pieces in her jewellery box, and her Siren Wire Earrings have been slashed in price, too.

The gold earrings feature a green handcut gemstone, and they’re reduced from £128 to £89.60

Monica Vinader will be continuing to drop prices in the lead up to Black Friday, but if there’s something you have your eye on, I’d recommend snapping it up soon.

The luxury jewellery brand’s flash sales mean that something that’s on sale today may not be tomorrow, so it’s worth acting fast if you see an item on your wishlist.

Kids TV legends reunite for rare snap 23 years after hit 90s show and musical spin-off

AN AUSTRALIAN children’s TV show is back with a bang – decades after being a hit on the small screen.

The beloved Aussie show – which revolved around a single father Tony Twist, twins Linda and Pete, 14, and little brother, Bronson, 7, – quickly became a staple watch.

The 90s kids’ classic Round the Twist, based on the family who lived in a lighthouse – has been turned into a new stage musical based on the much-loved 1980s TV show.

Stars of the retro series reunited at Brisbane’s QPAC to mark the new stage performance including the three ‘Lindas’; Tamsin West, Joelene Crnogorac and Ebonnie Masini.

Former Bronson Twist star Jeffrey Walker, who joined the show in the second season in 1993, joined in the celebration of the musical.

The former actor went onto direct movies Riot, Lambs of God and nine episodes of Modern Family.

Jeffrey’s directorial journey began in the mid-2000s with episodes of the long-running Australian soap opera, Neighbours.

He has since directed multiple episodes Modern Family, as well as The Big Bang Theory spin-off, Young Sheldon.

The musical is headed up by Paul Hodge and based on the series created by author Paul Jennings.

The weird and wonderful musical is directed by Simon Phillips and produced by RGM’s co founder Garry McQuinn (Priscilla Queen of the Desert).

Round the Twist: The Musical premiered Down Under and plays until December 8th.

Trio Tamsin West, Joelene Crnogorac, Ebonnie Masini – all played Linda as the show recast the character three times.

Tamsin, 50, appeared on one season as Linda Twist and sang the iconic Round The Twist theme tune. After a brief stint on Ramsey Street, she quit acting in 1995.

Joelene Crnogorac, 45, was Linda 2.0 in the second season, but left shortly after.

She went onto star alongside a young Hugh Jackman and Guy Pearce in Snowy River: The McGregor Saga, plus Aussie dramas Ocean Girl, Blue Heelers and Neighbours.

The third and final Linda Twist was played by Ebonnie Masini, 40, for seasons three and four. She went onto appear in Blue Heelers and Shock Jock.

The former actor is now a fashion designer and launched a label, Masini.

The award-winning TV show became a global sensation that was picked up from Sweden to Sri Lanka.

Hodge said about creating the stage show: “I didn’t realise when I started writing it how well known it is outside of Australia.

“It was probably even bigger in the UK than it is in Australia. It premiered on the BBC first, because Channel Seven was dragging their feet about airing it – so the BBC had already aired it, and was already asking for a second season, before Australia had even seen it.”

In each episode, the kids encountered all sorts of the surreal and supernatural, from a tree spirit that impregnates whoever urinates on its tree, to a magical chapstick that makes every woman fall under your love spell.

Round the Twist had four seasons, the first two airing between 1989 and 1993, and the latter from 2000 to 2001.

Watch Hamas hostage DESTROY woke pro-Palestine college protester leaving him redfaced as she reveals sex assault hell

WATCH the moment a freed Hamas hostage revealed details of her captivity as she confronted a pro-Palenstinan college protestor.

Moran Stella Yanai, one of the people taken from the Nova Festival in southern Israel, appeared on stage at a debate at UCLA in Los Angeles.

Yanai shared details about the beatings and abuse she endured as a hostage while on stage with the UCLA encampment leader Aidan Doyle.

The freed hostage was held for 54 days and told a crowd how she suffered from a broken leg and bruises when she tried to flee from the festival, as well as the sexual assault she faced while captured.

Yanai directed much of her story to Doyle who appeared to mostly look at the floor as the freed hostage was talking to him, per The Gr8 Debate.

She described her account of the ordeal she faced on October 7.

The freed hostage had been at the festival where she set up her jewelry stand to sell to ravers.

Yanai added that she attempted to escape through the desert near Mount Negev but broke her leg on the way.

“When I was taken to Gaza I was kidnapped, I was caught three times,” Yanai said.

“On the last time, I was caught by 13 Hamas terrorists. 13.”

Yanai also described how she believed some citizens of Gaza celebrated her capture.

“I saw 100% of civilians celebrating me being taken, I didn’t know about the other hostages,” she said.

“I thought it was only me.”

“I respected them even when they abused me cause I believe if I want to be respected I have to respect everybody else,” she added.

Yanai added that this moment was caught in a TikTok video that her 12-year-old niece came across online.

The freed hostage explained that the shocking video was how her parents discovered she had been kidnapped.

How you can get help

Women's Aid has this advice for victims and their families:

  • Always keep your phone nearby.
  • Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.
  • If you are in danger, call 999.
  • Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
  • Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
  • If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
  • Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.

If you are a ­victim of domestic abuse, SupportLine is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm on 01708 765200. The charity’s email support ­service is open weekdays and weekends during the crisis – messageinfo@supportline.org.uk.

Women’s Aid provides a live chat service – available weekdays from 8am-6pm and weekends 10am-6pm.

You can also call the freephone 24-hour ­National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.

This shocking video showed how Yanai begged for her life when she was taken out of Israel.

Yanai asked Doyle several questions about his perspective on her story and the situation.

“If October 7th didn’t happen, would we [be] here, talking right now?” she asked.

Yanai’s eyes widened at Doyle’s response.

“Well yeah, actually, we probably would be,” he said.

She was last seen on CCTV at the Krakow John Paul II International Airport in Balice at around 11pm on November 11.

Ania was previously reported missing in August after failing to return home from Leeds Festival.

Her desperate parents appealed for help on social media before the then 17-year-old was found.

Dad Stephen Czopinski posted: “I’m glad to report Ania is safe and sound and back home now. We really appreciate your concern and well wishes.”

Ania, named as a Miss Teen GB semi-finalist earlier this year, has now been missing for more than a week.

CCTV footage showed the teen walking through the airport lobby pulling a suitcase with hand luggage on top last Monday.

She was wearing a pair of grey jeans with ripped knees, a black jacket, and black trainers.

Police say Ania does not have any identification documents or a mobile phone.

She is understood to be of Polish origin but has never been to Poland before and does not speak the language.

District Police Headquarters in Krakow said: “An 18-year-old British citizen has gone missing.

“Missing Ania was last seen on 11th November this year at around 11pm at the Krakow-Balice Airport.

“People who have any information about the missing person are asked to contact the Police Department in Zabierzow.

“Thank you for your help.”

Cops also released a description of Ania, saying she is 160-170cm tall, is of lean build and has dark blonde hair.

An FCDO spokesman told The Sun: “We have not been approached for assistance, but our staff stand ready to support British nationals abroad 24/7”

I’ve had orgies & used sex dolls to battle my sex addiction but my 320 body count won’t stop – it’s ruining my marriage

A WOMAN has revealed that she has had threesomes, foursomes and orgies to battle her sex addiction.

The mother shared that she’s even used sex dolls to satisfy her needs, but is concerned that her sexual desires are slowly ruining her marriage.

Keen to open up on her addiction, the mum-of-one took to social media to reveal all, leaving many open-mouthed.

Posting on Reddit, on the r/IAmA thread, the woman titled her post ‘I am a woman who is a sex addict.’

The mother, who has a three-month-old son, explained: “It has become a problem in my life currently. 

“My marriage is falling apart due to my constant desire for sex. 

“I am not above help in any way. I will answer any question, no matter how vulgar or offensive. 

“I have a lot of experience (obviously) and have done things most people would not.”

The woman then explained that as a result of her sex addiction, she regrets getting married, as she admitted: “I don’t think it’s fair to either one of us.”

She also revealed the most “dangerous” situation that she has put herself into to satisfy her needs, as she claimed: “Probably having sex with a complete and total stranger I met at a bar

“He could have been a serial killer. I never went to a stranger’s house after that.”

Not only has she bonked a stranger in a bar, but she added that she will do “anything and everything” when it comes to sex.

She listed her sexual activities and wrote: “Threesomes, foursomes, full on orgies, golden showers, sex dolls, having sex with random strangers.”

As well as being incredibly experienced in the bedroom, she’s also slept with men and women and isn’t fussy when it comes to choosing her sexual partners. 

Which generation is having the most sex?

A new report has lifted the lid on bedroom antics.

The research, conducted by experts at Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, revealed the average number of times people of different generations have sex per month.

  • Gen Z – three times a month
  • Millennials – five times a month
  • Gen X – five times a month
  • Boomers – three times a month

The mother shared: “I do enjoy women very much. My husband is definitely not ok with me having sex with another woman without himself being involved. 

“It has been a problem in our marriage because there are times when I strictly only want to be with a woman sexually.

“I have not cheated on my husband. If we do continue our marriage and we cannot come to a compromise, then we will get a divorce. 

“I have had approximately 320 partners, both male and female.”

I spend a great amount of money in sex stores. I am addicted to pornography. I watch it at least an hour or two a day

Reddit poster

But although she has bedded over 300 people, she claimed that she has never had a sexually-transmitted infection, as she confessed: “I always use protection or it does not happen. 

“Both female and male condoms, and I even use protection for any kind of oral sex.” 

Dealing with sex addiction

IF you, or someone you know, is dealing with a sex addiction, here's everything you need to know...

Seek Professional Help: Consulting a therapist who specialises in sexual addiction can be very beneficial. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches can help address underlying issues and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Join Support Groups: Connecting with others who are experiencing similar challenges can provide support and understanding. Groups such as Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) offer a safe space to share experiences and gain insights.

Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries to avoid triggers and situations that may lead to addictive behaviours. This might include limiting internet usage, avoiding certain places, or ending unhealthy relationships.

Develop Healthy Habits: Engage in activities that promote well-being and fulfilment, such as exercise, hobbies, or volunteering. These can help redirect energy towards positive outlets.

Mindfulness and Stress Management: Practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and yoga can help manage stress and reduce the urge to engage in addictive behaviours.

Education: Learning about sex addiction can help you understand your condition better and recognise patterns and triggers. Knowledge is a powerful tool in managing addiction.

Accountability: Having a trusted friend or sponsor to check in with can provide accountability and support. This person can help you stay on track with your recovery goals.

Avoid Isolation: Isolation can exacerbate addictive behaviours. Try to maintain social connections and seek out healthy relationships that offer support and companionship.

Set Realistic Goals: Recovery is a journey and setting small, achievable goals can help you stay motivated and track your progress.

Medication: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help manage symptoms of sex addiction, particularly if there are co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety.

When it comes to her sex addiction and how it is impacting her life, she divulged: “I have been fired for having sex at work.

“I have been dumped or left by every man I have been romantically involved with.

“I spend a great amount of money in sex stores.

“I am addicted to pornography. I watch it at least an hour or two a day.”

Reddit users question

Reddit users were left gobsmacked at the woman’s confession and many flocked to the comments to ask for more information. 

One person asked: “How many times would you have sex in an ideal day?”

I really enjoy role playing, and bondage

Reddit poster

To this, the anonymous woman confessed: “Five to six I think.” 

Another questioned: “Do you have any fetishes or is just about anything fine?”

In response, the sex addict wrote back: “I really enjoy role playing, and bondage.”

Whilst a third wondered: “Do you ever feel desire for intimate passionate sex?”

To this, the woman explained: “Honestly, I would prefer quality over quantity. 

“Slow and passionate is what really turns me on, yet it rarely ever happens that way.”
