PRAYERS FOR GIRL MISSING 13 YEARS

Get ready for the end of quarantine with these at-home grooming tips.

To treat dry, cracked hands, try mixing olive oil into your moisturise­r. Slather it on and then wear a pair of socks on your hands overnight.

Stop applying hair products or using hot styling tools.

The trick is to place your hair where desired when it is still soaking wet, so that it dries in a stylish shape.

Have a one-to-one phone consultati­on with a hairdresse­r if thinking about trimming your hair.

Hershesons.com charges £10 for a session – which is donated to the NHS.

To keep it in great shape, just use a narrow-toothed comb to hold hairs straight and then move your clipper downwards. Don’t let it grow more than an inch below

the chin.

Make sure you file your nails in one direction only. If you have old Shellac to remove, file the surface and then hold a cotton pad soaked in polish remover on each nail before scraping away the colour.

Try some Retinol night-time cream to remove any dead skin. It will spruce up ageing skin or help to clear any acne.

KATE and Gerry McCann are urging people to “please remember Madeleine” as they mark the 13th anniversar­y of her disappeara­nce.

They hope well-wishers will tonight join in prayers for Maddie, despite the lockdown.

The couple have had to cancel their annual outdoor gathering because of the global pandemic.

Maddie’s great-uncle Brian Kennedy said the family had circulated two special prayers to churchgoer­s.

The retired headteache­r said: “They are asking to please remember the anniversar­y and read or say the prayers on Sunday at 7pm, when we would normally have held the gathering.”

Maddie, three, vanished from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007.

She had been left sleeping with her younger twin siblings while her parents were in a nearby restaurant with friends.

Heart doctor Gerry, 51, and ex-GP Kate, 52, cling on to the hope that Maddie, who would be nearly 17, could still be alive. On the anniversar­y

IN this street a humble “two up, two down” £38,000 house stands right next door to one worth £2.3million.

The radically different properties, only a few yards apart, are both up for sale.

Business couple Mike and Jules Keen own Tindale Towers, an award-winning Art Deco mansion featured in the Channel 5 show I Own Britain’s Best Home.

It has five bedrooms, a pool, pictured below, sauna, gym, badminton court, dance floor, bar for 50 people and a six-car garage.

It was inspired by beach villas the couple had seen in France and Florida.

Tindale Towers was built by the Keens 13 years ago on the site of their bungalow.

It was originally on the market for £3.65m – but the owners slashed the price.

Mike, who says he is “skint” and wants the cash, said: “We’re still paying the bills but we’ve needed the money for a while. It’s a beautiful house – it gives the town a good image.”

The terraced house next to it, in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, is owned by an investment firm and said to need “cosmetic upgrading”. the couple, of Rothley, Leics, would normally go to church then later walk a mile from their house to the village war memorial, where supporters congregate.

A candle still burns around the clock there as a beacon of hope for the world’s most famous missing child.

But this year the family will mark the occasion behind closed doors, with their 15-year-old twins Sean and Amelie.

British police have requested new funding to continue the £12million search for Maddie, which is set to be approved by the Home Office.

Kate has put £170,000 from her book, Madeleine: Our Daughter’s Disappeara­nce, into the hunt.

This week, the McCanns were targeted by trolls who made an image of them holding a placard with the slogan, “Stay at home, save lives”.
