Katie Price Praises Glam NTAs Makeover as Heavy Makeup Hides Black Eye

0

Katie Price was thrilled with her National Television Awards makeover, saying it marked the “first time in 48 years” she could look in the mirror and admit: “I fancy that.”

The former glamour model, 48, stepped onto the red carpet at London’s O2 Arena last night only hours after undergoing new breast implant surgery and a top-up of facial filler.

Even with visible bruising around her eyes following her latest cosmetic treatments, Katie appeared determined not to miss the star-packed ceremony.

She turned to make-up artist Mitchell Halliday for the occasion, and a video he posted on Instagram captured Katie becoming emotional as she took in her finished look.

Reacting to her sparkling eye make-up and strongly lined lips, Katie said: “I can actually say when I hate myself, I can look in the mirror and say ‘I fancy that, she looks good looking here’. I do!”

‘First time in 48 years I can look and go “I actually look a sort.”‘

Revealing it was the first time she has worked with Mitchell, Katie told him ‘this is the new me, you’re going to have to come everywhere with me. You are the ultimate, there is not a better make-up artist than you.

Katie Price was so delighted with her National Television Awards look that she declared it is the 'first time in 48 years I can look in the mirror and say "I fancy that"'

‘Considering what I looked like before, how have you done that? I had all them bruises from yesterday. You’re not going anywhere, the new man in my life.’

Completing the look with black heels, Katie gelled her hair back in a wet-look and accessorised with large diamond Valentino earrings. 

Katie was joined by her daughter Princess, 19, who couldn’t have contrasted more with her mum’s look in a shimmering blue ballgown.

Earlier in the day Katie showed off her new enlarged breast implants and a black eye just hours after flying back from Brussels where she had the cosmetic procedures done.

Katie, who has had around 17 boob jobs – and only recently increased her cup size this summer – took to Instagram to show off the aftermath of the surgery. 

Undeterred by her black eye and bandaged breasts, a determined Katie revealed she was getting her hair and make-up done to walk the red carpet. 

Katie said: ‘So everyone it is National TV Awards. What did Price do yesterday?

‘So, I went to Brussels because one of my boobs was still slightly bigger than the other. So, they put a new implant in and while they were there, I said, “Oh, go on, just put a bit more in both of them.”‘

The television personality said she had filler in her face – but it has made her ‘look like a hamster’. 

Showing off the swelling and bruising, Katie said: ‘Where my face was hollow here as you get older and lose weight, he put filler in for me, obviously while I was asleep.

‘He does it under the muscle right into the bone. I’ve woken up this morning, I didn’t have anything put here, nothing, but I think the swelling has dropped so I look like a hamster and it’s sore.’ 

Katie attended the NTAs after Sky aired a four-part documentary, Katie Price: Nothing To Hide, which explored three decades of her life in the public eye.

Last month, Olivia Attwood’s show Price Of Perfection aired on ITV and Katie made a guest appearance where she talked about her extensive cosmetic surgery. 

Katie has had multiple surgeries including six face lifts, 17 breast augmentations, dental work and a fox-eye op.

Yet Katie estimated she has only paid a fraction of the price because of the free procedures she has been offered. 

Although she has received many free treatments over the years due to her fame, Katie insisted she ‘would be able to pay if she wanted to’.

‘How many surgeries do you reckon you’ve had in total?’ Olivia questioned.

‘Oh my god, that’s really hard,’ Katie said. ‘Maybe about 30 or 40? I must have done.’

Olivia asked: ‘You’ve had a lot of free surgeries but you’ve also paid for a lot as well. Over the years would you say it’s been a mix of free surgeries and paid?’ 

Katie said: I’ve probably paid £40,000 all in.’ Completely shocked, Olivia replied: ‘In total? Is that it?’

She hit back: ‘I could pay for it if I wanted to get it done.’

Mother Recounts Hellish Ordeal After Alleged Stabbing by Her 21-Year-Old Daughter

A Wisconsin mother was allegedly stabbed multiple times by her daughter during a violent confrontation in the parking lot of a Chick-fil-A, authorities said.

Police said Kimberly King, 39, was attacked with a knife after a tense dispute with 21-year-old Shyanniah Ma’ree Johnson escalated.

The argument reportedly began last month as the pair were traveling from Florida back to Milwaukee with King’s young son and her grandson in the vehicle.

King said she pulled into a Chick-fil-A parking lot in Acworth, Georgia, after sensing that her daughter appeared ready to strike her.

‘She put my hair down and just started just stabbing me. She stabbed me multiple times. She stabbed me all over my head, my arms, my shoulders,’ King told Fox 5.

Johnson reportedly stabbed her mother around 10 times. Deputies said the mother ran inside the fast food restaurant after the stabbing where officers already inside the premises were able to call an ambulance.

Johnson was taken to jail but subsequently released by Cherokee County judge, Shannon Wallace on a $3,000 bond. 

King told Fox 5 her daughter’s release has left her fearful, she said: ‘I do not feel safe. I’m upset they let her out.’

King was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital the sheriff’s office said in a news release. 

Johnson, who obtained a leg injury during the fight, allegedly drove away with the two children still inside the car.

Officers later located the car in Whitfield County and took Johnson to Hamilton Medical Center in Dalton, before she was moved to jail.

Court records show that she was charged with aggravated assault and two counts of third-degree cruelty to children. 

King is a manicurist and said on a GoFundMe she set up that the attack has left her hands paralyzed.

‘My hands were my career, my independence, and the way I cared for my children. In minutes, all of that was taken,’ she said.

Johnson drove off following the alleged attack but Cherokee County deputies were able to locate her, police said

King claims that she needs assistance bathing, preparing food, getting dressed and ‘caring for my three-year-old son.’ 

King also wrote that her own mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and stabbed her grandmother when King was six years old.

‘My daughter has not been diagnosed with any condition, and I am not claiming she has one,’ King writes. 

‘But she and my mother shared behaviors that, in hindsight, were warnings I didn’t know how to interpret.’ 

The two children are in the custody of the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services in Whitfield County.

 A lawyer for Johnson declined to comment.

The Daily Mail contacted Judge Wallace, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office and King for comment. 

Ant Anstead Shares Rare Photo of Renée Zellweger With His Son in Sweet Birthday Tribute

Ant Anstead marked his son Hudson’s 7th birthday by giving fans a seldom-seen glimpse of the youngster sharing sweet moments with Anstead’s girlfriend, Renée Zellweger.

The former “Wheeler Dealers” host posted an Instagram tribute on Sunday, compiling photos and videos from Hudson’s childhood — including a handful of warm appearances by Zellweger alongside the birthday boy.

One standout image showed Anstead, Zellweger and Hudson smiling together for a selfie, with both adults wearing colorful leis around their necks.

Zellweger, 57, leaned into the playful celebration with oversized, jewel-covered heart sunglasses and a tiny ringleader-style hat, while Hudson grinned in a handmade yellow paper crown decorated with rhinestones.

The birthday montage also featured a beachside clip of Zellweger and Hudson running together, along with separate snapshots of the pair posing happily by the shoreline.

“Hudzo, you were born with a light! An unmistakable GLOW around you! You shine with a beautiful blend of fun, cheekiness, love and so much kindness!” Anstead, 47, wrote in the caption.

“You are an utterly brilliant boy, and it is a privilege to watch you grow and thrive. I love being your father! Happy 7th birthday, Hudzo. Keep on GLOWING! X.”

Anstead shares Hudson with his ex-wife, Christina Haack, 43, whom he married in December 2018 before they announced their separation in September 2020.

The exes finalized their divorce in June 2021, and just days later, Anstead began dating Zellweger after the pair met on the set of “Celebrity IOU: Joyride.”

Anstead went Instagram-official with the “Bridget Jones’s Diary” actress in August 2021, sharing a selfie with Zellweger to promote her appearance on the premiere episode of the discovery+ series and calling her “incredibly magical” in the caption.

Throughout their relationship, Zellweger has shared plenty of moments with Hudson.

In January 2025, she revealed to British Vogue that she had moved to “Southern California, near San Diego,” to be closer to Anstead and his son, explaining, “because that’s where my fellow lives, and his little boy.”

Zellweger has also been part of Hudson’s birthday celebrations over the years.

In September 2022, Anstead revealed that she “helped plan” his son’s 3rd birthday party, referring to himself and Hudson as “two lucky boys.”

He later shared his first photo of Zellweger with his other children in July 2023, including daughter Amelie, 22, and son Archie, 19, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Louise Anstead.

Dodgers Avoid Blame Game as Shohei Ohtani’s Two-Way Season Falls Short

0

Dave Roberts’ late-night media session Tuesday ended on a familiar note, one that has become increasingly common around the Dodgers in recent weeks.

The Los Angeles manager was again asked about Shohei Ohtani’s condition, and then about whether the two-way superstar would be ready to return to the lineup the following day.

“He’ll be in the lineup tomorrow,” Roberts said, offering reassurance after noting that Ohtani had been available as a pinch-hitting option during the Dodgers’ 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

Still, the larger concern is not the answer itself. It is the fact that the Dodgers are being forced to address Ohtani’s status almost every day.

What once looked like a season bursting with possibility has turned into a tense final stretch, with Ohtani pushing forward while lingering health questions continue to hang over the Dodgers’ playoff chase.

Before Tuesday’s game, Roberts took time to reflect on Ohtani’s 2026 season –– and how the 32-year-old unicorn went from chasing Cy Young and MVP honors to playing through left knee and right arm injuries that have severely limited his one-of-a-kind skill set.

Roberts said he and the club had “learned” important lessons from the experience. He recognized “that sometimes potentially trying to get ahead of managing [Ohtani’s] workload” was a difficult, delicate task.

Yet, he was careful not to second-guess the way Ohtani had been handled during his first full two-way season with the club (or, what was supposed to be, anyway).

He echoed the same sentiments Ohtani himself had shared the night before, expressing no regrets about the superstar’s usage even in light of the predicament the player and team now find themselves in.

“Obviously, probably, you can say a lot [if you] look back,” Roberts said. “Anyone can do that, and say, ‘What could you have done better or different?’ Absolutely. That’s something going forward we’re gonna look at. But it’s certainly not a blame game thing.”

Such revisionist history dates back to mid-June, when Ohtani first developed his knee problem but initially attempted to try pitching through it. There were then his repeatedly failed efforts to ramp up on the mound, even after he had been removed from the Dodgers rotation in early July following the flare-up of his right biceps.

Granted, for most of the summer the problems didn’t seem to hamper Ohtani at the plate.

But then last month, his offense began to decline as he took on a heavier workload in his ultimately aborted pitching progression.

Two weeks ago, his expected return to the mound was scuttled after he felt lingering issues in a bullpen session, leading the team to finally pull the plug on his long-awaited return to pitching.

At the plate, meanwhile, he slipped into a 6-for-46 slump as a hitter, culminating in a four-strikeout performance last week in which he finally showed some visible pain with his swing, prompting the club to give him four days off afterward.

“It’s, I guess, under the thing of, ‘you don’t know until you know,’ and it’s important to kind of learn from experiences,” Roberts said Tuesday, now that only now do the Dodgers have the benefit of hindsight.

One big lesson: Though Roberts said “it always feels good to run him out there offensively as a DH, always feels good when you pencil him in as a starter,” he highlighted the importance of “just really trying to be mindful” of the toll Ohtani’s body takes over the course of a two-way campaign.

“It’s good for all of us to kind of appreciate that he’s not supernatural,” he added, “as much as we think he might be at times.”

Though Roberts said the club hasn’t discussed plans for next year with Ohtani yet, they still envision him attempting a two-way role again.

In the meantime, they’re hopeful their renewed plan to carefully manage his late-season workload will help him get back on track with his swing in time for October.

“I think that a day here or there is not the worst thing, to make sure that his body overall feels as close to 100% as possible,” Roberts said.

Still, this isn’t the place Ohtani or the team hoped he would be at this stage of the year –– even if, as Ohtani noted Monday, they have at least avoided a worst-case scenario “where I couldn’t play as a hitter.”

“It’s learning from what happened and getting better,” Roberts said.

For now, in the wake of Ohtani’s failed two-way season, that’s the best he and the Dodgers can do.

Pregnant Lottie Tomlinson Shows Bump Promoting Autobiography

Lottie Tomlinson announced last month that she is expecting her second child with fiancé Lewis Burton.

On Sunday, the 25-year-old influencer put her blossoming baby bump on display in a sleek white dress as she continued promoting her new autobiography, Lucky Girl.

Arriving for a meet-and-greet with fans at Waterstones in Manchester, Lottie looked radiant in the figure-hugging maxi dress, which featured an asymmetric cut-out sleeve detail.

She elevated the polished look with her blonde hair swept into a chic up-do, pairing the style with glamorous makeup and a glossy lip.

Lottie added height with brown pointed stiletto heels and finished the ensemble with gold jewellery, including a necklace and hoop earrings.

Earlier in the day the makeup artist shared a snap of a gender reveal cake with pink icing and wrote: ‘The most surreal feeling ever, my baby girl a dream come true’.

Upon announcing her pregnancy news to the world, Lottie penned a social media caption that read: ‘our little family is growing we feel so excited and blessed that another beautiful baby is joining us in Jan 2025.’

Lottie and Lewis got engaged in November 2023 when he whisked her off her feet to Paris – after three years of dating.

Her book outing and gender reveal come after Lottie recently opened up on dealing with her grief, after the tragic deaths of both her mother and her little sister within three years. 

Lottie lost her mum Johannah in 2016, after she lost her battle against leukemia at the age of 43, when Lottie herself was just 18.

Appearing on Lorraine on Friday, the makeup artist explained how she went into ‘survival and instinct mode’ and stepped into the maternal role for her younger siblings.

However, just three years later she suffered another devastating loss when her little sister Félicité died at 18 from an accidental drug overdose in 2019, and admitted that she had ‘never expected’ it could get worse after losing her mum.

Lottie – who is the younger sister of One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson – has reflected on the enormously difficult chapters of her life in her new memoir Lucky Girl.

Lottie and Lewis are already parents to a son Lucky, who they had in August 2022.

Explaining the significance of the name Lucky and why she’s chosen it for the title of her book, she told Christine Lampard that it stems from her mum Johannah.

Lottie said: ‘I think it’s just always been the way that she was able to feel grateful for what she’s got when she was really ill. And I think that’s always stuck with me and it’s such a powerful trait to carry through life. 

‘It’s been a massive way that I have been able to cope with a lot of my grief is by trying to change really negative, sad things that have happened into a positive in any way that might be. 

‘Even if it’s a small positive, it just helps you kind of cope and get through it.’

She explained she had taken on the maternal role in her family following her mum’s death because she needed to be there for younger siblings Félicité, Phoebe, Daisy, Ernest and Doris, adding that the responsibility at such a young age ‘set the tone’ for the rest of her life.

Lottie said: ‘I think it was such a natural instinct for me and I credit my mum for that because she instilled this really maternal instinct into us all.

‘I think when something like that happens, you go into a survival and instinct mode and straight away I knew that the little ones needed me and I wanted to do whatever I could to make things easier for them. 

‘It kind of came naturally, but it was such a life changing experience for me to have that responsibility and I think it really set the tone for everything else that happened in my life.’

However, she recalled how losing Félicité soon after compounded her grief, admitting the struggle with going ‘back to square one’.

She said: ‘I think it was just really hard that we knew we were going to have to go back to square one and deal with it all again. 

‘When something as big as losing a parent happens, you never expect it to get any worse than that, and then it did.’

Lottie continued: ‘So it was a really tough time for the whole family, but I think we’ve really stuck together and we’ve managed to come through the other side. 

‘That’s why I wrote the book so I could show people that through those dark times of grieving you can come through and be happy again.’

Speaking about her pregnancy, she gushed how thrilled she and Lewis, 32, were to be giving Lucky a sibling.

She said: ‘Baby number 2 is on the way and we are just so excited to grow the family and to give my boy Lucky a sibling.

‘I think it’s such a different thing when you’re giving your child a sibling… He’s just about to turn two so he knows there is a baby in there and he will say “baby” but I don’t think he quite understands.’

Christine asked her about the comparisons fans have drawn between Lucky and his famous uncle, Louis.

Lottie admitted the pair share a strong resemblance and gushed how good an uncle the singer was.

She said: [Lucky] has a real kind of mop hairstyle and he’s got a rock star dress sense so people do compare and I can see it, definitely. [Louis] is a great uncle, he spoils everybody and Lucky loves him.’

Lottie has previously admitted she regrets Félicité not having access to the help she desperately needed in the years after their mother’s death and has campaigned for families to have further aid after suffering loss.

She has teamed up with bereavement support charity Sue Ryder to help those through the early stages of grief.

Barry Morphew Jailed Again After Incident Sends Bond Soaring

0

A Colorado judge raised accused wife killer Barry Morphew’s bond to $10 million after prosecutors said he left the scene of a crash that happened after an airport trip to pick up his daughter.

Morphew was indicted by a grand jury on June 20, 2025, on a first-degree murder after deliberation charge tied to the death of his wife, 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew, a mother of two daughters. Suzanne disappeared on Mother’s Day in 2020 in Colorado, where the couple lived. Barry Morphew was later arrested in Goodyear, Arizona, nearly 11 hours from the area where his wife was last seen.

According to prosecutors, Morphew was involved in an alleged hit-and-run crash on Aug. 26 around 7:30 p.m. after a witness reported seeing him drive “aggressively” before hitting two vehicles. CBS News obtained video showing an exchange between Morphew and another driver, during which he allegedly refused to provide his name or identification and said he did not have insurance. Boulder County sheriff’s deputies arrested him on Sept. 3, and he remains in custody.

Authorities said Morphew offered the other driver $300 for the damage to her vehicle, but she declined the money. Video from the scene also showed him using a T-shirt and his hand to buff scratches on the woman’s car.

At the time, prosecutors said Barry Morphew was picking up his daughter from the airport.

Prosecutors said that once the other driver turned down Barry Morphew’s $300 offer and told him she intended to contact police, he left the scene, nearly striking another person and mounting a curb as he did so.

The conditions of Barry Morphew’s original bond included not traveling outside of his home except under specific circumstances like work or a medical emergency and would be monitored by GPS.

Alamosa County District Judge Amanda Hopkins on Tuesday increased Barry Morphew’s bond to $10 million cash after prosecutor Fred Johnson argued that he is a flight risk and could leave the country.

“Mr. Morphew has shown time and again that he has no respect for any order of this court, and he is not going to comply with it if it is an inconvenience to the lifestyle he wishes to live while out on bond,” Hopkins said.

“We are very, very concerned he has just demonstrated what he’s going to do when push comes to shove,” Johnson said during the hearing.

Barry Morphew’s lawyers argued that he is not a flight risk, stating that he hasn’t fled over a period of five years and said the recent accusation doesn’t warrant an increase in bond.

Prosecutors wrote in the June 2025 indictment that the chemicals butorphanol, azaperone and medetomidine were found in Suzanne Morphew’s bone marrow. They alleged that Barry Morphew used “BAM” deer tranquilizer to sedate and transport deer on his farm when he lived in Indiana. He has pleaded not guilty to one count of first-degree murder.

Morphew was also the only person with a prescription for the deer tranquilizer within the area of the state he lived in, prosecutors said. The only two other entities with access to the BAM compound within the surrounding counties were Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the National Park Service, officials said.

“Ultimately, the prescription records show that when Suzanne Morphew disappeared, only one private citizen living in that entire area of the state had access to BAM: Barry Morphew,” the indictment states.

(Jerilee Bennett/The Gazette via AP)

Morphew’s attorney, David Beller, previously told News Media Morphew “maintains his innocence.”

“Yet again, the government allows their predetermined conclusion to lead their search for evidence,” Beller said. “The case has not changed, and the outcome will not either.”

News Media reached out to Morphew’s lawyer for comment.

Mother’s Sentence Increased Over False Rape Claims Against Men

0

A mother who fabricated rape allegations against ten men has had her jail term increased by two-and-a-half years after senior judges ruled the original sentence was “unduly lenient”.

Stacey Sharples, 31, made false reports that led to men being detained at police stations, losing jobs and relationships, and being kept apart from their children.

Between 2013 and 2019, when she was aged between 18 and 24, Sharples met the men from Greater Manchester through Facebook and the dating apps Plenty of Fish and Badoo.

She pleaded guilty to ten counts of perverting the course of justice at Bolton Crown Court in March and was initially sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison.

After the Attorney General referred the case to the Court of Appeal, judges on Wednesday increased Sharples’ sentence to seven years.

An estimated 264 hours of police time and around £50,000 was wasted in months-long investigations, the court heard.

Sharples repeated her allegations in lengthy video-recorded interviews but police found many inconsistencies in her accounts. 

One of Sharples’s victims Kaylum Davis, now 28, from Oldham previously described her sentence as a ‘joke’.

He told the Daily Mail: ‘She ought to receive the same sentence as a man would if he was convicted of rape – seven or eight years, or more.’

Kaylum was left on bail for 18 months, wondering if he would be charged or even jailed after Sharples claimed that he had raped her.

He recalled: ‘I was in shock. I was with my friends, so they all knew about it. I was taken to a cell and held for hours. My mum had to be present at the interview, because I was only 16, and she was very upset.’

Sharples, from Farnworth in Bolton, appeared at the London court on Wednesday by video link from HMP Styal in Cheshire.

Lord Justice Popplewell, sitting with Mr Justice Linden and Mrs Justice Hill, said: ‘The allegations were of extremely serious conduct all involving rape, and in some cases multiple rapes with serious violence and threats.

‘Had the victims been convicted, their sentences would in total have been very lengthy indeed.’

He said false rape allegations undermine real victims of rape and have a serious effect ‘on the minds of the public who may be called as jurors, which may cause doubts in the mind where none should exist’.

The judge said Sharples ‘lured’ one victim to a shop so he could be arrested in public and told another ‘watch what happens now’ after he refused her advances.

She told one victim: ‘They’re not pressing charges, I’ve got away with it yet again.’

Julia Faure Walker, representing the Attorney General, said the sentencing judge had not increased the sentence enough to reflect the number of victims.

She said: ‘This case clearly falls into the category of causing not just some distress or impact, but serious distress or impact.

‘The vast majority were arrested, spent time in custody and remained under investigation for months.’

Hunter Gray, representing Sharples, said the original sentence had been reduced due to Sharples’ mental health and lack of intellect – which the judge decided constituted a learning disability.

He said Sharples ‘accepts responsibility’ but ‘still struggles to understand why she did what she did’.

During the original sentencing, the judge had described Sharples as a ‘sexual predator’ who sought out ‘sexual encounters with males with whom you have had no real relationships’.

The judge said she then ‘bombarded’ the men with ‘out of proportion’ expressions of love and if they did not respond she reported them for rape.

Sharples did have consensual sex with five of the men, one in the homeless hostel where she was living, before she accused them of rape.

The first offence, when she was 18, began when she told her father that a 16-year-old boy had threatened her with a knife and forced her to perform oral sex.

Sharples, who falsely claimed one victim was her boyfriend, told a psychiatrist she did not know why she stopped her offending but said it coincided with the Covid pandemic and her meeting her current partner in 2022.

Attorney General Ellie Reeves said: ‘Stacey Sharples lied, repeatedly and deliberately, causing significant harm to 10 victims and wasting hundreds of hours of police time that should have gone towards supporting genuine victims.

‘Rare cases like this must not discourage genuine victims from coming forward. Every report of rape is rightly taken seriously and treated with the care it deserves.

‘Anyone who seeks to exploit or undermine genuine acts of violence against women and girls must be held to account. I thank the police for their diligence in uncovering the truth, and my thoughts remain with the victims who were falsely accused.’

British Family’s Saudi Arabia Ordeal: Father Abducted, Tortured

0

A British woman has spoken publicly about what she describes as a nightmare endured by her family after her husband was allegedly seized and subjected to severe torture by Saudi authorities.

Businessman Rami Naimi, his family says, was travelling back from a business trip in Australia with his father when he was taken in Dubai in 2017.

The father-of-three, whose father is former Saudi oil minister Ali Al-Naimi, was arrested again in 2022 and held for two years before being handed a six-year prison sentence last year after what relatives describe as a secret trial.

His first detention coincided with the high-profile Ritz-Carlton crackdown in Riyadh in November 2017, when Saudi political figures, royals and business leaders were rounded up under what officials presented as an anti-corruption drive.

Now breaking their silence as they launch a campaign to secure his release and bring him home, Mr Naimi’s family allege he has suffered appalling abuse in custody, including electrocution and waterboarding.

His wife Mira Lozi, who is battling cancer, said during the launch in London that she has had to keep quiet since 2017 to secure her husband’s release, and described the last nine years as a ‘nightmare’.

Breaking her silence, she revealed how, following his 2017 abduction, her husband was blindfolded and forcibly taken by car to Abu Dhabi and then by private jet to Saudi Arabia, where he was held at the Ritz-Carlton and tortured, electrocuted, waterboarded and psychologically abused for three months. 

Now, in an interview with the Daily Mail, Mrs Lozi has opened up about how she feared for her own life when her husband was first taken in 2017.

Mrs Lozi, who was living in Dubai at the time of her husband’s first detention, says: ‘I lived my life [feeling] terrified, looking over my shoulder. What’s going to happen next? Who’s behind me? You know, am I going to be taken? And for what? Absolutely nothing. We had no idea what was happening. We were just walking like ghosts.’

Such was the family’s fear that when Mr Naimi was released three months later and placed under house arrest – after being forced to sign a ‘settlement agreement’ pledging to surrender £200million – that they felt too unsafe to visit him.

‘We were terrified. We were very scared for our own safety. So we had to decide if it was safe enough to visit him’, says Mr Naimi’s son, Ali, who was just 12 years old at the time of his father’s detention. 

‘It was…like my dad was still abducted,’ the now-21-year-old adds. 

Ali also spoke about the emotional toll his father’s detention had on him at such a young age, describing how the ordeal forced him to grow up early. 

‘I’m sure you can imagine how difficult it is for a 12-year-old to know these details about his family,’ he says.

‘I’ve been traumatised for my whole childhood. I basically lived a life without my father. I know more of my life without my father than I do with.’

The family were eventually able to visit Mr Naimi, but they say contact with him was limited after he was placed under electronic surveillance and banned from leaving Saudi Arabia. 

They add that Mr Naimi was left with emotional scars from his experience. 

‘He doesn’t want me to know these horrific details,’ Ali says: ‘And of course, he’s very traumatised.

‘He’s a different man from who he was before he was taken. So at some points, he would share details out of anger… he’s a very damaged person after what happened to him,’ he adds.

The family were forced to relive their nightmare in 2022, when Naimi disappeared once again for nearly two years.  

‘He got a phone call, and they told him that there’s a problem with his ankle bracelet and that they’re going to come and fix it. And he disappeared,’ Mrs Lozi says. 

During this time, he was subjected to further torture and emotional and psychological abuse.

Meanwhile, his family went through the agonising pain of not knowing if he was alive or dead. 

Recalling those two difficult years, Ali says: ‘[It was] much worse, because I wasn’t 12 anymore. I was 17. I knew what was going on. 

‘I knew the possibilities of his ill treatment. And I knew that this was going to be tough, and it was going to be a lot harder than it was when I was younger. And I was right.’

The family learned in 2024 that he was being held in Saudi’s notorious Al Ha’ir prison. He was released in March last year but has remained under house arrest, while his family continued to feel his absence.

‘I was traumatised, and I had to go through a lot without my father. And it wasn’t just me. My sisters had to go through the same,’ Ali says. 

‘My sister graduated from university. I graduated from high school. All my friends were getting career help from their dads.

‘They were asking their dads. They looked up to their fathers, and they wanted to ask them about career advice and what [universities] to go to. So I was deprived of that.

‘And my eldest sister was deprived of her father at her wedding. She’s now having a baby.’

It was after his release in March 2025 that he learned of charges against him claiming he had ‘exploited’ his father’s official influence. 

Mr Naimi also faced allegations that he acted as an agent for a US company in Saudi Arabia and was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment after a secret trial. 

He is now facing a second trial over his internet activity while being held at the Ritz-Carlton in 2017.

Mr Naimi has been accused of following social media accounts that are critical of Saudi Arabia, for which, if convicted, he faces up to 20 years behind bars. 

He and his family deny the allegations and say the claims are unfair. 

They are now calling for action from the UK, US and EU governments to ensure his release. 

‘We want to see political pressure, and we want them to raise the question with Saudi at the highest level and to help secure our father’s release.

‘It’s a completely unfair issue. And it’s against the rule of law and international law. We would like governments and the EU and the US to hear our story and to help us bring Rami home,’ says Ali.

‘It could happen to any British family. And I think it’s, I mean, we are British, and I think it’s, you know, it should, I mean, my Prime Minister Andy Burnham should really put that on his highest priority, just to bring Rami back home and to do the correct thing,’ Mrs Lozi adds.

Naimi has been subjected to emotional and physical torture, his family claim

According to Mr Naimi’s family, he is unaware of their decision to go public about his ordeal, because their contact with him is so monitored. 

Mrs Lozi says she spent years terrified to speak up over fears that it would compromise her husband’s release. 

But now, she says she feels like she has no other choice.

‘The proceedings are just not going the way they should, and nobody is really paying attention or reading. 

She adds that her ongoing battle with cancer also played a part in her decision to share her family’s story.

‘I don’t know how much I have left, you know. So I guess that was the cherry on top for my kids to get their father back.’

Dolly Parton’s Sister Says She Hid Cancer Diagnosis From Much of Their Family

0

Dolly Parton’s heartbroken sister, Stella, has said the country music legend chose to keep her cancer diagnosis hidden from many members of her own family.

Parton died at the age of 80 on August 25, following months of unexplained health concerns that had forced her to cancel several public appearances and left fans increasingly anxious about her condition.

After her death, it was confirmed that the beloved Queen of Country had been privately undergoing treatment for cancer, although the exact type of the disease was not made public.

Now Stella, 77, has shed light on her sister’s decision to opt for discretion on the subject of her medical issues, speaking to Gayle King on CBS Mornings.

Stella said Dolly “did not want anybody to tell” the public, explaining that her sister struggled with negativity and would never have wanted her devoted fans to worry about her health battle.

According to Stella, Parton also hoped to spare much of the family from distress. While “some of us knew,” particularly those closest to her, she said, the diagnosis was not shared with every relative.

Stella insisted that Parton ‘did not want people sad and she did not want people worried. She’d be really happy and delighted that people have shown her so much love because she knew that that would make us feel better as her family.’

The ‘bottom line’ was that Parton’s family – as well as those of her late husband Carl Dean and ‘probably’ her best friend and assistant Judy Ogle – ‘are the people that she would want to say: “Well, see? Everything I did, they cared. They really loved me!”‘

Parton died four days after being admitted to Nashville’s Vanderbilt University Medical Center, according to a report in TMZ.

Her loved ones began racing to Nashville upon hearing news of her hospitalization, but not all were able to reach her while she was alive. 

The Jolene singer’s death was confirmed the day it occurred in an Instagram video posted by her nephew Bryan Seaver, who also acted as her head of security.

‘This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,’ Seaver said.

He hailed his aunt for having ‘lived in the light’ and said she was now ‘in the arms of Jesus’ and the company of her late husband Carl Dean, as well as her parents and ‘countless others who have watched her and longed to meet her in the heavens.’

Three days after she died, an intimate group of loved ones including Seaver was seen gathering at her burial site, the Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Nashville.

Seaver had previously disclosed Parton would be interred in high heels in the same mausoleum that houses the remains of her husband of over half a century.

While it was initially unclear whether Parton was buried at that event, her niece later confirmed that the singer had been ‘laid to rest’ at some point that day. 

In his Instagram video announcing her death, Seaver had relayed Parton’s wish ‘to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life of wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have some rest.’ 

Dean died aged 82 of causes that have remained private in March 2025, two months before what would have been his and Parton’s 59th wedding anniversary. 

Parton enjoyed an illustrious music career spanning six decades and was arguably best known for her hits Jolene and 9 to 5. 

The fourth of 12 children, six of whom are now still living, Parton was born in Pittman Center, Tennessee, on January 19, 1946 and raised in the Great Smoky Mountains.

In an interview published just four days before her death, Parton had declared she still had ‘so many things I want to achieve’ and vowed to continue ‘working as long as I can to see everything come to life,’ via People.

She explained that she had been grappling with ‘some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over Carl.’

At the end of September 2025, Parton raised fan concerns by announcing that unspecified ‘health challenges’ had forced her to postpone her Las Vegas residency from that December until the September 2026. 

She shared the news directly with fans on Instagram, explaining that her medical issues had required her to undergo several procedures.

Then in early October of last year, Parton’s younger sister Freida struck fear into the hearts of fans by pleading with them to pray for the country icon.

‘Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly,’ Frieda wrote on Facebook on October 7, 2025. ‘Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.’

As panic mounted, Freida backpedaled, trying to assure the public her sister had ‘been a little under the weather’ but that she never intended to ‘make it sound so serious’ and merely issued her request out of a belief in ‘the power of prayer.’

Parton herself then posted a video of herself in hair, makeup and costume at an ad shoot for the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in order to comfort her fans.

‘Do I look sick to you?’ she chirpily asked, adding that ‘I appreciate your prayers, because I’m a person of faith, I can always use the prayers for anything and everything, but I want you to know that I’m okay!’
