BEHEADED UK HOSTAGES GRAVE FOUND’
A MASS grave thought to contain the bodies of British hostages beheaded on video by Jihadi John has been found in Syria.

Big-hearted Craig, who won Big Brother in 2000, gave his winnings to friend and Downs Syndrome sufferer Joanne Harris to pay for a heart and lung transplant. He says he owes the show a lot. “I was fortunate to win. I had a trade too and have worked on more than 1,000 makeovers worldwide. The win opened doors and helped me support family and friends and do things for charity.”
Craig and Laura, who met two years ago, tied the knot at Cheshire’s Peckforton Castle where Leicester City star Jamie Vardy got married.
X Factor contestant Andy Abrahams performed at the wedding and EastEnder Dean Gaffney was among the guests. Ricky Hatton, Frankie Dettori, Uri Geller, Bill Roache and Mel C sent congratulations.
The couple, on honeymoon in Colorado, are building a five- bed house near Liverpool – and starting a firm teaching people DIY skills. Craig said: “I couldn’t have dreamed of what I’ve got. And now I have the love of my life.”
