UNDIE SIEGE! Boyfriend fury as he finds lover working in a massage parlour

-

I WILL be keeping a close eye on the story about the dogs which were shot dead by police in Bolton at the weekend after going on a ‘rampage’ through the town centre.

The newspapers said they bit two people, which must have been terrifying, and they really shouldn’t have been off the lead if they weren’t properly trained or were unsafe.

But to shoot them dead in the middle of a busy high street seems a bit barbaric. If they did pose a serious threat to people and were acting uncontroll­ably, then I totally understand that the police need to keep people safe first and foremost, but it seems so brutal to kill them in full view of the public.

Why couldn’t they have used tranquilis­er guns and sedated the dogs before destroying them away from the public?

The photograph­s of them lying motionless in the street were heartbreak­ing to see. At the end of the day, those animals were somebody’s beloved pets. OVER the weekend I caught up on Rio Ferdinand’s documentar­y about trying to be both mum and dad to his kids after his wife Rebecca died from cancer in 2015.

If you haven’t seen it yet, then I can’t recommend it highly enough – just make sure you have some tissues handy!

He has undoubtedl­y won over the hearts of the entire nation after opening up so publicly and he has shown a whole other side to him that people probably haven’t seen.

Choosing to share his grief with the country is so brave and it shows how important it is for people to seek help and talk about how they’re feeling.

Watching Rio meeting fathers and husbands who have lost wives or children was so moving – but it also made me realise I don’t think I have grieved properly for my mum yet.

It will be three years next month since she passed away from cancer, but I still haven’t come to terms with it fully.

I can’t imagine what it must be like for Rio’s three children not to have their mum around. But after watching that programme, it’s easy to see that he is an incredible father and he should be so proud of himself.

And if the petition is successful, then it will positively impact so many people, not just her own family.

At the end of the day, say what you want about Katie because she’s got a thick skin and she chose to live her life in the spotlight. But to pick on an innocent, disabled child – that is absolutely despicable if you ask me.

I know you’re probably all reading this thinking I usually slag Katie off in my column, but that’s not the case.

It is my job to have an opinion and my opinion can’t always be in line with hers.

But setting up this amazing petition, I totally side with her.

So if you haven’t signed the petition yet, then make sure you do by visiting https:// petition. parliament. uk/petitions/190627. IT’S been just two weeks since the Westminste­r terror attack and now there’s been an explosion on the metro in St Petersburg. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the tragedy, which killed at least 14 people and injured many more. It is devastatin­g to see so many innocent people being killed or hurt in mindless acts of violence like this. REMEMBER I told you all that I was doing a brand new shoot last week... well, I can finally reveal the first photo from it! It felt great to be back in the studio again and I can’t wait for you to see the complete set of photos when they’re printed in the

So watch this space! Until then though, you can see me in action on Studio 66 TV – and you’ve got two chances to spend the night with me this week! Tune in tonight from 10pm on Sky channel 912 and from midnight on Freeview channel 185, or you can see me at the same time on Sunday night too! A JEALOUS man laid siege to a massage parlour after he discovered his girlfriend in a room with a punter.

Cristian Barbu, 26, went on a violent rampage at the rubdown shop when he was tipped off his girlfriend was secretly working there.

The unwitting punter who had ‘booked’ Barbu’s lover was subjected to a 45-minute, stop-start beating.

The man had locked himself in a room at Passions, in Manchester, but “highly emotional” Barbu kicked the door down and set upon him, a crown court sentencing heard. LOST IT: Barbu night of May 3 last year. He faces automatic deportatio­n to Romania, where he has previous conviction­s for robbery and escape.

Prosecutor Craig McGregor told that in between hitting and kicking the man who had been in the room with his girlfriend, who was known to customers as ‘Magdalena’, Barbu paused to smoke cigarettes.

The siege finally ended when the lady owner pulled back Barbu’s thumb, causing him to drop the knife, before everyone pinned him down.

Mr McGregor told the court Barbu had been led to believe his girlfriend was working at a shisha cafe.

Khadim Al’Hassan, defending Barbu, said that when he was told by a friend that she was not working in a cafe the ground upon which he was walking was suddenly swept away and he lost control.
