Showcasing a pair of toned arms and a pretty decolletage, the strapless dress is a red carpet staple for fine-boned actresses such as Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow. But can a woman with 34G curves like mine ever look fab in a strapless dress? SECRET SUPPORT . Lace pencil dress, £169, Monsoon.co.uk . Blue caged heels, £39.99, Zara.com . I would never have believed that a strapless dress might make me look smaller than I am. This one manages the impossible. The narrow skirt clings to my hips and legs, making me look taller and slimmer, and the bustline is quite high, hiding the cleavage which gives a nice demure look. What I really like is the scalloped edge of the dress against the bust and at the hem, which softens the silhouette. But while looking summery, the lace fabric actually gives quite a lot of secret support, boosted by the Chantelle strapless bra I wear underneath all the dresses. Great for summer weddings. 4/5 . ONE FOR TEENS . Prom-style dress, £58.99, Chichiclothing.com . Gold sandals, £34,99, newlook.com . This might look lovely on a teenage girl, but on me — eek! At 48 I’m at least 30 years too old to carry it off. The material is flimsy and there’s almost no structure, so my bust looks horribly saggy. And the full skirt makes me look as large around the bottom as I am on top — not a good look. Forget dream prom dress — this is a nightmare. 1/5 . FLATTERING AND COMFY . Floral maxi dress, £72, Asos.com . The large, floral pattern that adorns this floaty maxi dress is the key to its flattering effect. It distracts the eye which instantly slims you. This is a relaxed, 1970s style, so anything too fitted would look out of place. The best thing is how comfortable it feels. You could wear it anywhere — to the beach, to a garden party, or to an evening do. A winner, and at a great price, too. 5/5 . SHORT... BUT NOT SWEET . Mini dress, £45, Riverisland.com; Strap-heeled sandals, £39.99, Zara.com . This clings well and gives me a neat waistline. The bandeau-style top is supportive of my bust while slimming it down. But below the waist it’s a different story. Quite frankly, the skirt is far too short. I’ve always believed you have to choose between showing off your boobs or your legs: doing both veers far too close to tarty for my liking. I’d have given this dress full marks if it had been ten inches longer. 2/5 . OSCAR WORTHY . Double layer maxi dress, £110, Jarlolondon.co.uk . This clever design has a double layer: the lining clings tightly, but the top layer skims over the chest for a classier silhouette. The overall look is statuesque and Grecian. The vibrant orange shade makes it the perfect choice for a summer party — it would look fab with a tan. In it, I feel like Cameron Diaz going up for an Oscar. I’m ready for my close-up. 5/5

Summary: Flashing tanned shoulders and pretty decolletage is a red carpet staple . But it's not always the easiest look to pull off for those with larger chests . Claire Cisotti and her 34G curves have put six strapless dresses to the test .


Boss Nigel Pearson has urged Leicester to keep their cool and ignore their relegation rivals.

'We need to make sure our own run-in is what we want it to be. Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has urged his players to focus on their own job and not worry about their relegation rivals during run-in . 'It's helpful that other teams are being dragged into it. People are continually adjusting the form table and their predictions. 'We can't get involved in anything apart from being involved in our own games that may change people's perceptions. 'It's great when results go your way but they only help if you've done your own job. 'It's important for us to be in touch. One of the potential problems we have to deal with is people are now overly optimistic.'

The BBC faced angry criticism for giving an Election platform to ‘mini Russell Brand’ Gareth Shoulder (above) who mocked David Cameron over his disabled son . The BBC faced angry criticism last night for giving an Election platform to a ‘mini Russell Brand’ who has mocked David Cameron over his disabled son. Self-styled ‘angry Leftie revolutionary and magician’ Gareth Shoulder, from Liverpool, has been recruited by the BBC to comment on the Election as a member of its ‘Generation 2015 Election youth panel’. Shoulder, 24, who is a big fan of Brand and regularly messages the comedian on social media, used his ‘@bbcgen2015’ Twitter page to make the disparaging remark about Mr Cameron and Ivan, who died aged six in 2009 after being born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. After Mr Cameron spoke movingly in the first leaders TV Election debate about the NHS care given to Ivan, Shoulder sneered: ‘A new record for Cameron… 34 minutes before he pulls out the Ivan card and pretends he cares about our NHS.’ Shoulder also said that, in the debate, the Prime Minister had ‘really annoyed’ him and made him want to tear politicians ‘a new one’ – a shorthand reference to an extremely offensive phrase. Following Thursday’s TV Election debate, Shoulder then imagined the three female party leaders taking part – SNP’s Nicola Sturgeon, Plaid Cymru’s Leanne Woods and the Green Party’s Natalie Bennett – to be the subjects of a lewd parlour game, tweeting: ‘Bennett, Sturgeon, Woods. ****, marry, avoid.’ He also called Chancellor Osborne a ‘briefcase w****r’. The BBC says it ‘hand-picked’ its 200-strong Generation 2015 youth panel to ‘address fundamental questions about the relationship between UK young adults and democracy’. The 24-year-old used his ‘@bbcgen2015’ Twitter page to make the disparaging remark about Mr Cameron and Ivan, who died aged six in 2009 after being born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy . Mr Cameron is pictured with his wife Samantha and children, Ivan, Nancy and Elwen, near his Oxfordshire home in 2009 . Last night Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said: ‘It is disgraceful that the BBC should give a platform to someone to spew such Left-wing bile.’ Mr Shoulder said: ‘Speak to the BBC,’ and refused to comment further. A BBC spokesman said that Mr Shoulder was speaking in his own capacity, not as a representative of the BBC.

Jack Wilshere can be the future of Arsenal’s midfield, but his injury record could turn him into another Abou Diaby, fears club legend Ray Parlour. Wilshere was on the bench against Reading at Wembley on Saturday after five months out through injury. And Parlour believes that the 23-year-old’s fitness record is the one thing holding him back from reaching his undoubted potential. Jack Wilshere, on the bench next to Theo Walcott and Mathieu Flamini, for Arsenal's match against Reading . Wilshere, the England international, is pictured in training for Arsenal earlier this month . ‘I think he’s the future of the club,’ said Parlour. ‘I think if he stays fit, he’s a quality player, there’s no doubt about that. ‘The way he goes past players, the way he links up with people, I definitely think he’s got a big role to play. ‘But again, the big question mark is can he stay fit? Look at Abou Diaby. Diaby’s a terrific player. But look at him, the injuries the last few years. ‘The big burning question is can Wilshere have a full season without being injured for a long period, like he hasn’t had for the last three or four seasons.’ The 23-year-old pictured in action for Arsenal's Under-21s against Reading at the Emirates earlier in April . Wilshere is at the heart of a core of players at the Emirates which has now reached the FA Cup final for the second year in a row, and are approaching maturity as a group. And although the Premier League title may be out of their reach, Parlour believes that Arsene Wenger’s squad, with the right additions, could be ready to finally push for top honours again. ‘What I like about the squad is that they’ve got good youngsters - Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chambers and Bellerin - coming through, but the main nucleus of players are a good age,' added Parlour, talking at the Carlsberg People’s Pundit final. ‘They’re not too old, they’re in their prime now, they’ve got the experience. So those sort of players, people like Ozil, Ramsey, Sanchez, Wilshere if he’s fit, they’ve got that nucleus. Ray Parlour, who won three championships with Arsenal, has backed Wilshere to be the future of the club . ‘It’ll need a couple of big signings, but if they can get them, I’m sure they’ll be a lot closer to Chelsea next season in the Premier League, and in the Champions League they can go the extra couple of rounds and get to the final,' said Parlour, at the Boot Camp stage of The People's Pundit, championed by Carlsberg – the Official Beer of the England team and the Premier League. After months of scouring the country, The People's Pundit has narrowed down its search to five football fans in with a chance of winning their big break on talkSPORT on the last day of the Barclays Premier League season. Those five – a call centre worker, a personal trainer, a sales director, a production runner, and a furniture upholsterer – were put through their paces under the

Summary: Jack Wilshere has not played for Arsenal since November after limping off at the Emirates following a tackle from Manchester United's Paddy McNair .

'The vet did everything that they could do,' Ingram told Los Angeles television station KNBC. 'We are unsure if it was due to the extent of the injuries or some other complication. We were all hoping for a happy ending for this little guy.' Scroll down for video . Dead goose: Goose with an arrow piercing its neck dies after surgery to remove the piercing object . Puncture wound: The goose at first appeared to make it successfully through the arrow removal operation at a bird and wildlife clinic Wednesday but then died a short time later . Poor goose: Somehow this poor little goose ended up with an arrow through it's neck . She said the bird's skin had healed around the arrow and made the process more difficult. Animal officials had high hopes for the bird's recovery after its capture earlier Wednesday because it seemed in otherwise good health and the arrow had missed all its vital organs. A worker at the Anaheim Hills Car Wash befriended the goose several days ago by feeding it bread crumbs and was able to catch it and turn it over, Ingram said. She said the animal was shot intentionally at least a week ago. Animal control officers started getting calls on April 5 about the bird and found it after a call from Hole 5 at the Anaheim Hills Golf Course on April 8, Ingram said. The birds are not native to the area, so it was probably living near the course or was someone's pet. The cause of the birds injuries are unknown but officials believe it was the victim of animal cruelty. Animal cruelty officers planned to launch an investigation into the assault and fingerprint the arrow after it was removed from the goose's neck. The investigation still stands but sadly the goose will waddle no more. Evaded care: The duck ran from animal care workers for at least a week after it was pierced in the neck . Tragic death: Veterinarians at an area bird and wildlife clinic examined the bird and said it appeared to be in good health, except for the arrow that missed all its vital organs . Tragedy: Animal care workers say vets did all they could to save the duck and that the death is a tragedy .

He may be a noted team man but Xabi Alonso admits he has his sights on some personal glory as Bayern Munich prepare for the next phase of their bid for the Champions League. Victory this season with Bayern, who face Porto in the quarter-finals starting Wednesday night at the Dragao, would make Alonso only the second player to win European football's top trophy with three clubs having held it during his time at Liverpool and Real Madrid. 'There is one player who has won three Champions Leagues with three different clubs: [Clarence] Seedorf. Of course it is in my mind. The end of my career is near,' Alonso admitted to The Telegraph. Xabi Alonso lines up for Bayern Munich on Wednesday night against Porto at the Dragao Stadium . The Champions League first leg quarter-final is the next step in his quest to win the title with three clubs . 'I don't have many years left but it is one of the targets. It is an individual target and it would be great to win the third one with a third club because the Champions League is special,' Alonso said. Alonso won the Champions League in his first season at Liverpool when he scored the decisive equaliser in 2005. And last season he was part of Carlo Ancelotti's side to take the title, even though his yellow cards throughout the tournament meant he was forced to be a pundit rather than a player for the final win over Atletico Madrid. Alonso trains under the watchful eye of manager Pep Guardiola who is keen to add to his Barcelona victories . Seedorf won the title a total of four times in his illustrious career - in 1995 with Ajax, 1998 with Real Madrid and twice with AC Milan, in 2003 and 2007. At 33 and with a club as strong as Bayern on a two-year deal under Pep Guardiola, Alonso could even attempt to match Seedorf's total achievement. But first his side must overcome Porto, who are the only unbeaten side in the competition this year. And they will have to do it for the first leg at least with a host of stars including Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger, along with David Alaba, Medhi Benatia, Javi Martínez and Tom Starke. Alonso celebrates winning Europe's top club prize in his first season with Liverpool in 2005 . Alonso (on the ground) scored the equaliser for 3-3 against AC Milan before Liverpool won 3-2 on penalties .

Summary: Xabi Alonso won UEFA Champions League with Liverpool and Real Madrid . He scored the vital equaliser for the Reds in his first season at the club . The Spaniard was in Real Madrid's triumphant side last season . He lines up for Bayern Munich, who face Porto in the quarter-final . Clarence Seedorf won with Ajax, Real Madrid and twice with AC Milan .


Ten deputies have been placed on leave after a shocking video emerged showing them punching and kicking an alleged horse thief for two minutes following a chase through the California desert. In the video, captured by an NBC helicopter, Francis Pusok, 30, is seen falling off the horse he was suspected of stealing after being pursued several miles by the San Bernardino County officers. Seconds later, two deputies catch up to Pusok and stun him with their Tasers. They then stun him again, and again, as lies splayed face-down on the ground, with his arms placed behind his back. As the camera keeps rolling, the officers apparently kick the suspect in the head and crotch, before other deputies arrive on the scene. One clearly draws back his leg and swings it at Pusok's head.

Now, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon has placed 10 deputies on paid administrative leave for their alleged roles in the graphic footage, which he said had 'disturbed and troubled him'. McMahon said the video, captured on Thursday, appeared to show an excessive use of force. He added that he was launching an internal investigation into the actions of the unidentified officers. 'I'm not sure if there was a struggle with the suspect,' he told NBC. 'It appears there was in the early parts of the video. What happens afterwards, I'm not sure of, but we will investigate it thoroughly.' In a tweet via the San Bernardino Sheriff's Office, McMahon said: 'We have identified 10 deputies involved in the use of force during the arrest & they have been placed on paid admin leave.' Earlier on Thursday, Pusok had allegedly fled by car after deputies had tried to serve a search warrant in an identity-theft investigation. He later dumped the vehicle in the Hesperia area, it is said.

Mauricio Pochettino insists Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood will be shown respect on his return to White Hart Lane - 11 months after he was shown the door by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. 'I expect a very good reception for him,' said Pochettino, whose Spurs side entertain Villa on Saturday afternoon in the Barclays Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino gestures to his players at Burnley last weekend . Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood (centre) takes a training session at Bodymoor Heath on Thursday . 'I hope it's a very good reception from the supporters as he deserves that.' On Thursday, Sherwood revealed he is still in touch with Tottenham chairman Levy and went as far as to thank the club for ending his five-month spell in charge last summer, as it meant he had the chance to take over at Villa Park.

Sherwood (right) salutes Emmanuel Adebayor during his time in charge of Tottenham Hotspur last year . Sherwood will be eager to prove a point - or three - at White Hart Lane, but Pochettino was quick to acknowledge the work the former Spurs midfielder did during his time in North London. 'I think that we share the same idea. We believe in young talent - this is great. Tim, Chris Ramsey and Les Ferdinand deserve credit for the young players that have arrived in the first team.' Sherwood trusted in the likes of Harry Kane and Nabil Bentaleb last season, and those players have continued to thrive under Pochettino. Asked if it was a gamble by Sherwood to give those youngsters a chance, Pochettino joked: 'The big gamble was to play Ryan Mason against Arsenal... I remember people said Pochettino is crazy for giving him his debut against Arsenal. 'But yes, I think their work was great. Tim deserves credit for that.' Pochettino predicts a difficult game, particularly given the form of Benteke. The striker was sent off in the last fixture between the two sides, a 2-1 win for Tottenham, but he was the saviour this week for Villa against QPR, and now has seven goals in his last five.

In 2011, Downing Street was forced to deny claims Mr Cameron was fighting the relentless process with unnatural help after his grey hairs looked less prominent, . ‘I promise you he has not dyed his hair,’ a spokesman said. ‘The Prime Minister has other things to think about, he’s just not like that.’ Mr Farage said he was ‘jealous’ of how the Tory leader has reversed the greying process while in Downing Street .

'I've had a few grey hairs and I expect I'll get a few more, whatever happens. This is a relentless process,' he said. A Tory party spokesman last night refused to comment on whether Mr Cameron dyes his hair.

A house used by five generations of the same family has been put on the market for the first time in 100 years. The two-bedroom terraced property in Snodland, Kent, was first rented by Len and Beatrice Barnes in November 1915. The couple raised their son Gordon and three daughters, Freda, Hilda and Gwendoline, in the property, which used to have an outside bathroom.

He said: 'Freda lived there all of her life. 'I lived there at some point when I was a baby but then we moved nearby to Queens Avenue in Snodland.

Support: Kai Windsor, now 10, with his mother Rachel . Like most boys, he always preferred football to dolls. But Kai Windsor started life as a girl – and knew from the age of three that he had been born into the wrong body. Christened Kaia, he would shun traditional girls’ toys in favour of kicking a ball around. By four, he refused to wear dresses – and at six he wanted his hair cut short and developed a boyish awkwardness around girls. By nine, he had finally broken the truth to his mother Rachel, 37, telling her: ‘I’m really a boy.’ Now, at the age of ten, Kai is set to undergo hormone treatment to halt puberty to stop him developing into a woman. Miss Windsor, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, said: ‘As a toddler, Kai only wanted to play ball. As a girl, he had no interest in any dolls and made a beeline for boy’s toys. ‘And as soon as he began school, he only wanted to wear trousers as the other boys did. Soon after, I noticed he went red whenever girls were around.’ Kai is not alone in facing gender problems. The number of transgender referrals to the NHS for children under 11 has quadrupled since 2009. Like many parents in her situation, Miss Windsor had never heard of children facing such issues. But the single mother, who runs a health juice business, said Kai had ‘amazing support’ from his primary school. He was given counselling when his schoolwork started to suffer, and later decided to confront the issue head-on. ‘They were the ones who suggested Kai should have counselling,’ she said. ‘Then when he came out as transgender, they sent a letter out to all the parents in his year to explain he now wanted to be referred to as a boy. ‘Staff then held a special lesson for all the year to explain about being transgender. And now they are even in the process of building unisex toilets to make life easier for Kai and other children like him.’ Kaia pretty in pink, aged four, pictured left, and dressing up as a pirate, at five, pictured right . When Kai was born there was no outward sign he was anything other than female. Miss Windsor, who also has a daughter Jasmine, 16, from a previous relationship, said: ‘As a toddler I usually put Kaia in dresses and bought her lots of dolls. Meanwhile, as her blonde hair grew, I put in pigtails. It simply never occurred to me she wouldn’t be as feminine as her sister.’ She added: ‘Looking back Kai knew then he was a boy. He had no interest in dolls, preferring to play with a football. And when we were out he’d head straight for the boy’s section in shops, asking for Spiderman toys.’ At seven, Kai wanted his hair cut shorter. But his grades started suffering and he was later given counselling at school. Within a few weeks, his behaviour and schoolwork improved and last year he officially became transgender after telling his

A man who has two failed marriages with Gambian women is hoping it will be third time lucky now that he is engaged to another woman he met in the country that he now calls home. David Tungate, 58, was left devastated after the marriage to his first Gambian wife broke down shortly after he brought her to the UK. He then remarried, but his second wife, also from Gambia, turned out to be a serial bigamist who conned him out of £24,000 of his retirement money and left him close to bankruptcy. David Tungate with his fiancee Isatou Jarju . Determined not to let the experiences put him off, David is now dating a third Gambian woman and is convinced his latest lady will prove to be third time lucky. The former van driver said: 'I know people reading this might think I'm the most gullible man in Britain but I'm not bothered. 'I may have been left with nothing from the last Gambian woman I fell in love with, but my new girlfriend is different. 'She is wonderful and I feel blessed. It may be stupid but I always follow my heart.' David with his last wide Ndey, who was a bigamist . After divorcing his British wife of seven years in 1992, the father-of-two never imagined he would find love again. With the help of his sons from his first marriage, David slowly overcame the heartbreak and put his life back together. It wasn't until 1998 when he visited Gambia on holiday that he fell in love with Nyima Sye. Converting to Islam and marrying her that year, David brought his beautiful new wife back to the UK but five years later their marriage ended and the pair divorced. David said: 'Nyima was too young for me and eventually the cultural differences tore us apart. 'We split amicably but looking back now, she could have been after me for a British passport. I would never bring another Gambian woman over to the UK because of that.' David swore off women but 15 years later, everything changed when he joined a friend on another holiday to the West African country. Just a few days into his stay, David met Ndey, then 22, a waitress who could speak good English. Ndey in the town centre close to her home in Gambia . The pair started talking and after she explained she was recovering from Malaria and had lost her job in the restaurant, he offered to help. David started sending her £50 a week and even paid a cafe owner to give his new love a job, bank rolling her wages of £30 a week, unbeknownst to Ndey. Finally in June 2011 David had saved up enough money from his job as a van driver to fly back out to Gambia to be with his love. He said: 'I booked another two-week holiday and packed my suitcase full of clothes and jewellery for Ndey. 'I couldn't wait to start our relationship and when I got there and she met me at

Arsenal legend Ian Wright would be disappointed to see Theo Walcott leave north London, and believes his troubled times at the club are down to Arsene Wenger's refusal to play him as a striker. Walcott has made just five starts for Arsenal this season since returning from a serious knee injury after seven months on the sidelines. And with Arsenal pursuing Raheem Sterling and Walcott's contract set to run out next summer, Wright is worried that the Gunners could stand to lose a valuable player. Theo Walcott could be on the way out of Arsenal, and Gunners legend Ian Wright says that would be 'a shame' Wright enjoys Walcott as a player and hinted that he would like to see the winger stay at the club . Walcott started up front for England against Italy on Tuesday but his appearances have been limited this year . 'It's a shame for him, and the fact that people are talking about him maybe moving on if someone else comes in makes me quite sad,' he said. 'I really like him at Arsenal but he's got massive decisions to make in the next few months.' Wright also believes the England wideman, who was played in a central role for his country in Italy on Tuesday night, should have been moved into a similar position for his Arsenal. Walcott's pace had seen him likened to the Gunners' record goalscorer Thierry Henry, who made a similar positional switch during his time in north London, but manager Wenger has only briefly experimented with Walcott as a striker. Thierry Henry was prolific as a striker for Arsenal after being moved inside from his familiar wide role . Arsene Wenger has only briefly used Walcott up front, and Wright says it should have been persisted with . Liverpool's Raheem Sterling is an Arsenal target who also has his contract expiring in the near future . 'I always believed Theo should have been a striker at Arsenal with his pace. I thought playing him on the right would last so long and then he would get moved inside,' Wright told Goal. I'm not saying he's the same kind of player as Thierry Henry by any stretch, but I thought Arsene would move him inside. 'I think that's been to his detriment, because he would have learned a lot more about the game and runs he'd have to make. I've seen him finish very well when he gets into one-on-one situations.'

Summary: Theo Walcott's contract with Arsenal expires at the end of next season . England winger has made just five starts for his club this campaign . Ian Wright says it would be 'a shame' to see Walcott leave Arsenal . The Gunners have been linked to signing Liverpool's Raheem Sterling .


Alex Impey is breaking the law selling his customers marijuana, but as long as he keeps hearing stories that the drug is helping them cope with pain, he couldn't care less. And business for medicinal marijuana is booming, with Mr Impey telling Daily Mail Australia he receives 20 new requests for help each week at his hemp store, Gnostic Hemporium, on the NSW Central Coast, north of Sydney. 'I've got people coming in all the time, who have everything from cancer to early onset Parkinson's,' the father of two said. 'And that woman [with Parkinson's] has had remarkable results when using the cannabis, it stopped her shuddering.' Scroll down for video . Alex Impey, is a father-of-two, who says he is selling marijuana to help to those suffering from serious illness . Larisa Rule recovers in hospital after one of her surgical procedures with mum Jaylen by her side. Her parents make no apologies for turning to marijuana to help their daughter cope with her conditions, which include epilepsy . The medicinal marijuana broken down into the oil used by chronic pain sufferers and terminally ill. Users say it is as simple as placing into food or bottles for babies. Some cancer sufferers can use up to a gram each day as treatment with costs of the oil between $80 to $150 per gram . Parents of children with serious illnesses are being taught how to grow their own marijuana crops, such as this one (above) 'And mate, there are two blokes who both have daughters with childhood epilepsy and they have only good things to say about the effect it has had on their kids, so I will keep doing it.' One of those 'blokes' is Peter Rule. His three-year-old daughter, Larisa, suffered brain damage at birth, leaving her partially blind and deaf, and with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Within two days she was having up to 60 uncontrollable seizures a day - some lasting more than an hour. Doctors, said her mother Jaylen Siery, tried almost everything to stop the convulsions and even considered brain surgery. So when traditional approaches did nothing to relieve her suffering, her parents, turned to less conventional methods, having heard the benefits others had had from a dose of liquid cannabis. Results, they insist, were immediate. Within 24 hours Larisa's seizures were down to just five a day. Ms Siery, 22, told Daily Mail Australia: 'People tell me I’m a terrible mother and they say things like "you wouldn’t give your daughter heroin". 'But little do they realise, most of the medicines the doctors gave us before had opium in - the same plant heroin is derived from,' she said. Jaylen Siery (above left with her baby Larisa, also right) tried almost everything to stop the now three-year-old's convulsions and even considered brain surgery. Mr Impey says Australia should follow the lead taken by parts of the United States, where the drug is approved for use in treating some serious illnesses . 'I’m not a bad mother, I want nothing but good for my child,

Ironing may be the Marmite of household chores. But, love it or loathe it, unless you want to look like you’ve slept on a park bench, you can’t avoid it. British company Swan, which sold its first iron in 1933, has just released a top-of-the-range steam generator iron, for £279.99. But does it really make things easier? Tessa Cunningham finds out. SUPER STEAMER . Swan SI9031N Steam Generator Iron, £279.99, swan-brand.co.uk . If you loathe ironing enough to splash out almost £300, then Swan’s luxury model could be the one for you. It cut my ironing time by half. It’s usually my least favouite chore, but when testing this one, I got to work in front of Poldark and was done within 20 minutes. Because all the water is in the separate 1,000ml generator tank, the iron itself is lightweight. The steam is forced out of the generator through a hose into the iron, shooting out at 90g per minute — twice as fast as conventional steam irons (think of the difference in power between jet-washing and using a hosepipe) — cutting through creases quicker. As well as being more powerful, it also produces twice as much steam, making shorter work of wrinkles. On the downside, despite the investment, you get only a two-year guarantee. 3/5 . PRECISION PERFECT . Philips Easy Speed Plus, £29.50, amazon.co.uk . The big selling point of this pretty aqua blue iron is the precision tip, which means you can get really sharp creases flat with minimum elbow grease, making it perfect for shirts and trousers. I also love the vertical steam option, which means you can smooth creases from hanging fabrics, such as curtains, by holding the iron vertically 2 in away and pressing the steam button. Steam output is 35g per minute — with a boost function of up to 120g to blast at stubborn creases. Impressive for the price. 4/5 . BARGAIN BUY . Swan Steam Iron SI1001ON, £19.99, argos.co.uk . This does an adequate job and you get a lot for your money — including a generous 350ml water tank and variable steam control, which means you can opt for continuous steam at 40g per min or a 140g per minute shot of steam. But it’s so heavy, at 1.3kg, that I’m in danger of developing muscles like Popeye if I keep using it. And while the dolphin-shaped nose helps me reach tricky areas, such as around shirt buttons, it makes the iron look downright ugly. I also found the soleplate scaled up quickly. 2/5 . POWER HOUSE . Braun TexStyle 7 TS755, £49.99, johnlewis.com . This looks like a fighter jet, and is so heavy (1.3kg empty and 1.65kg when the water tank is full) it makes ironing even more of an effort. On the plus side, the ergonomic handle is easy to hold. I also like the way the cable is 2.5m long — useful if you can’t get near a plug. It’s impressively powerful. Steam shoots out at 50g per minute and the precision shot also releases steam at 170g

Summary: British company Swan has unveiled a new £279.99 super steam iron . But can it really speed up the household chore everyone dreads? Tessa Cunningham puts the best steam irons to the test .


Hibs, Hearts and Rangers united in condemnation of the SPFL's decision to move the Ibrox club's final game of the Championship season back 24 hours. In a move designed to accommodate broadcasters, Rangers will face champions Hearts at Tynecastle on May 3 — 24 hours after Hibs and promotion rivals Falkirk and Queen of the South play. Adamant the final round of fixtures should be played at the same time to avert any competitive advantage for Stuart McCall's side, Easter Road chief executive Leanne Dempster and Hearts chairwoman Ann Budge have lodged formal complaints with the league. In a staggering misjudgment of the public mood, however, the SPFL issued a statement expressing surprise at the fuss before Rangers boss McCall compounded their woe by revealing he also backed Hibs' stance. Hibernian are upset that Rangers' final game of the season has been pushed back for TV purposes . Ramping up the pressure on SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster, Hibs counterpart Leanne Dempster said: 'In previous seasons, the League has ensured that all of the final round fixtures are played at the same time. 'I have been in contact with the SPFL following its announcement that one final-round fixture would kick off after all the other results are known. 'I have reminded them in very clear terms that — as organisers of the competition — the responsibility for protecting its unimpeachable sporting integrity lies with them.' On a day when the relationship between broadcasters and Scottish football came under unprecedented scrutiny, Hearts majority shareholder Budge backed up her city rivals. In a statement, Budge also queried the 'sporting integrity' of Rangers playing 24 hours after their rivals given they are engaged in a dogfight with Hibs for second place. 'This has been done following selection of the game for a live TV broadcast,' she said. 'While we all knew that this was likely to be a strong candidate for televising and that the time might well change, we did not for one minute think that at this late stage, it would be moved to the Sunday, especially given our belief that all Championship games would require to be played at the same time. 'On learning of the change, I immediately attempted to contact the SPFL and objected in strong terms to the proposed late change to this fixture on the grounds of it having a total disregard for the interests of supporters of both clubs and an apparent disregard for sporting integrity. Rangers will play Hearts at Tynecastle in their final game of the season on May 3 . 'Being given 17 days' notice of this change is extremely disruptive and potentially very expensive for the fans, the sponsors and indeed the club. Overseas supporters have been in touch to advise that they will lose substantial amounts on travel; others have advised of lost earnings, holiday problems, etc. 'None of this is good for any of us and on behalf of the club, I can only apologise. 'When it also became apparent to us that our fixture was the only game to be
