Evil clingfilm strangler is jailed for life

- BY ADAM HALE

Something weird is happening to the over-60s who haven’t yet been offered a Covid vaccine: jab envy. As I found out when I got a date for mine and a mate who lives in the same city, who is still waiting for his, said: “You’ve got no underlying health issues and you’re not overweight. Are you one of those queue jumpers suffering from that newly-found disease?” “What disease?” I asked. “Liarbetes,” he replied. It’s not true, I swear.

There are growing calls to make June 21, when all lockdown restrictio­ns drop and the pubs reopen, a bank holiday. I’m all for it. Especially as it falls on the midsummer solstice, meaning there will be more light that day than any other. Let’s call it National Going On The Longest Ever Bender Day.

A MAN who strangled his fiancee then calmly ordered drugs and ate pizza beside her dead body was yesterday sentenced to life.

Madog Rowlands, 23, who wrapped Lauren Griffiths in clingfilm and binbags, waited for 35 hours before alerting emergency services to the horror in April 2019.

Cardiff crown court heard Rowlands, found guilty of murder in December, had also tried to strangle “vulnerable” Lauren, 21, in March 2018.

But she survived, did not press charges and returned to their home in the city.

Sentencing Rowlands to a minimum 18 years, Judge Daniel Williams called him a “sullen, self-obsessed manipulato­r” and said his behaviour after murdering Lauren “defies belief ”.

Spot the diffferenc­e... ...yep, they’re both muppets.

One’s curvy and demure (whose show now comes with a warning about its age-old offensive views).

And the other is, well, full of manure... (whose Twitter could do with that warning).

Fresh from fatshaming overweight disabled people and blaming them for spreading the virus last week, Anthea Turner – dubbed “scornful” by Piers Morgan – has now been accused of throwing a spa party at her home, complete with mobile beautician­s.

Guests were reported to have gathered in her £700,000 South West London apartment to enjoy haircuts, pedicures and rubdowns – with one, unbelievab­ly insisting it was “a business meeting”.

I say unbelievab­ly because the “meeting” was said to have lasted several hours.

And when you look at some of her past business decisions, you’d think snow time was spent on them at all.
