Cara bares all to Bear about her naked nature
Merciless...fraud cleaner stole life savings of OAPs
CARA Delevingne has told how she strips naked in the woods when she struggles mentally.
The supermodel, 27, made the revelation to Bear Grylls on his show Running Wild. Cara is left gagging after having to gut and eat a rat.
She said: “Outdoor spaces, the wild and nature is the most important thing in the entire world for my sanity. If you go into the forest and sit with your thoughts and feelings everything becomes clear.
“Recently I went out into a forest. I had worked too much and my skin got really bad and I was trying to get healthy. I was in the woods by myself and I just took off all my clothes and sat there,
A MERCILESS cleaner took the hard-earned life-savings of an elderly couple by fraud, a court has heard.
Joanne Shiels masqueraded as an affectionate friend to the 81-year-old victims who employed her.
But she helped herself to the couple’s bank account, writing a series of cheques out to herself to the value of £8,000.
Shiels, 43, of Newcastle, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to five charges of fraud while having the run of the couple’s sheltered housing home inWhitley Bay.
The crime was described in court at the time as “merciless exploitation”.
She raided their savings even after the pensioners had lent her a large sum of cash.
The frauds came to light when the disabled wife noticed two transactions she did not recognise on her bank not to prove anything but because I was comfortable. I cried and cried, you feel so unjudged. It’s great.”
The series sees Bear take celebrities out of their comfort zone. Previous guests have included Zac Efron and Barack Obama.
Cara begs Bear over her vermin dinner: “Please don’t make me eat that, any animal I can deal with just statement. She visited her bank and was told the cheques had been made out to Shiels.
An investigation showed five cheques had been stolen between September and November, with the crook falsifying the victim’s signature and writing them out to herself.
Mark Harrison, defending, told Newcastle Crown Court when she appeared for sentencing on Monday: “She accepts, as she must, these somehow rats get to me.” Finally she agrees to gut the rodent and then consumes it after much protest. She said: “To be honest it didn’t taste that bad, it was chewy.
“It was just the whole thing of gutting it with my fingers and then eating it. That was weird.” are mean offences.” But he added: “There is little by way of sophistication.
“The cheques were simply taken, written out in the defendant’s hand and neither her handwriting on the cheques or the signature bore any resemblance to the complainant’s.”
Mr Harrison said she was in debt and struggling with a drink problem but had made “significant efforts to change”. She has now lost her job as a shop manager after admitting the frauds.
Judge Edward Bindloss said the offending “clearly crosses the custodial threshold” and he had planned to lock her up before hearing her “significant mitigation”.
But he gave her another chance, deferring sentence again for six months to see if Shiels could stay out of further trouble, seek employment, stay off alcohol and work with a debt management organisation.
