Bride-to-be who helped fiancé run cocaine ring for cash AVOIDS jail after revealing she’s pregnant with his child
A BRIDE-to-be who helped her fiancé run a cocaine ring has avoided prison because she’s pregnant with his child.
Sasha Ellis-Johnson, 22, was a go-between for customers buying cocaine from her drug dealer boyfriend Joe Cooke.
She broke down and wept at Chester Crown Court after pleading guilty to to being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
But she avoided jail after being handed a 16-month sentence, suspended for two years.
She told the court she and Cooke are expecting another baby next May after she discovered she was pregnant just weeks before they were due to be sentenced.
And passing sentence, Judge Michael Leeming decided against a prison because “an immediate custodial sentence may result in the loss of your home”.
Cooke, 21, claimed he had accumulated a £2,000 drug debt after using cocaine as a “coping mechanism” when then pregnant Sasha lost their child.
He then started peddling drugs to friend to pay off the debt.
Over a six-month period, Ellis-Johnson acted as a go-between, fielding messages which read: “Can we pick up another bag? Got cash. We will get a taxi there and back if Joe wants to sell for us.”
Another said: ”Hey love is your bf about cause we want a bag and got cash’ to which she replied ‘ring thís number or text it… he’s going to ring you now.'”
But cops busted the couple as they were getting into a taxi near their home in Crewe, Cheshire, at around 4.45pm on June 20 earlier this year.
During a subsequent search of their home, officers found cocaine ready for delivery, scales, snap bags and cash in a drawer in their bedroom.
Further drugs were also found stashed in Cooke’s underpants.
Text messages on Cooke’s phone also showed him using threats to secure payment.
The court heard 24 wraps of cocaine in 0.5 gram and 1.75 gram weights were seized with a value of up to £1,380 and £1,315 in cash was found.
In a statement, Ellis-Johnson said: “At the time of the offending I was aware Joe had a cocaine habit and had accumulated a drug debt. As a result he was selling drugs to pay off his drug debt.
“I was never directly involved in the supply of drugs but accept that I facilitated in the supply of drugs by providing contact details of my partner and passing contact details on to him.
“I was contacted by friends who wanted to buy cocaine and I passed Joe’s contact details on to them.
“In relation to the message exchanges, this was a time when Joe used my phone.
“I accept that I facilitated the drug exchange at that time with the messages from my mobile phone. I was never involved with supplying users directly but facilitated the exchange.”
Adam Watkins, defending, also said she had “got involved through loyalty rather than for any financial benefit to herself”.
He added that she had been “immature and naive”.
Passing sentence, In sentencing Judge Michael Leeming told Ellis-Johnson: “You present a low risk of reoffending or serious reoffending and are a low risk to the public.
“The mitigating factors are your personal mitigation, the fact that you are currently pregnant and an immediate custodial sentence may result in the loss of your home.'”
However, her partner Cooke was today jailed for 28 months.
He earlier admitted possessing with intent to supply and acquiring criminal property.
MAFS star Adam shows off two and a half stone weight loss after backlash over comments about wife’s appearance
MAFS star Adam Nightingale has shown off his two and a half stone weight loss, after backlash for comments he made about his wife Polly.
The 33-year-old complained that his wife Polly Sellman, 28, wasn’t what he’d been “expecting” after they came face-to-face during an episode of the E4 show.
While the careers advisor complimented him on his teeth and aftershave, barber Adam failed to return the gesture.
And the newlyweds’ relationship has been fraught with difficulties from the off, with Adam admitting Polly isn’t his type, and instead saying he prefers “petite brunettes.”
Now, Adam has shown off his post-show weight loss after taking to the gym for a Sunday workout session.
The barber could be seen in the gym using various different machines, all while filming his progress.
He began the video by downing a pre workout, before writing: “Sunday full body workout.
“Training to tone up now, not get big.”
Adam also revealed how much weight he’d lost, as he said: “2 & half stone weight loss, but we still pushing.
“Weighing 13 stone 7. 10-15 reps x4 no slacking.”
Adam has been flooded with messages of congratulations, from both MAFS fans but also co-stars too.
MAFS bride Lacey wrote: “Well done Adam!!! Smashing it,” while Nathan posted a muscle emoji.
Adam’s workout comes after fans of the show were left distracted by a “disgusting” detail as Adam and Polly had their friends round for dinner.
Revealing the Indian takeaway he’d picked up, Adam insisted he was unable to cook because of the lack of pans in their apartment.
As they sat down to eat, Polly remarked: “Obviously this isn’t homemade.”
Married at First Sight's best moments
Married at First sight has brought eight explosive series of drama to the small screen. These are some of the best moments
- When series 8 couple Rozz Darlington and Thomas Kriaras brought secretly brought a sex toy to the couple’s dinner party. Unbeknownst to their fellow cast members who they were having dinner with, Rozz wore a vibrating egg gadget whilst husband Thomas had the controls.
- Also in series 8, Ella Morgan cheating on Nathanial Valentino with fellow groom JJ Slater.
- Nikita’s exit in series 6. Nikita was removed from the show early on due to her behaviour, which led to her husband Ant re-entering the experiment with Alexis.
- A slightly more heart warming highlight from series 6 was watching Dan and Matt’s relationship unfold. Dan and Matt were the first same-sex couple on the show, and their relationship was both ground-breaking and adorable.
- Emma and James’ wedding in series 1. They were the first couple to ever get married on the UK version of the show. Emma and James, had a beautiful ceremony that set the tone for the series.
- The dinner party showdowns are always a MAFs highlight with explosive arguments and unexpected alliances forming.
He replied: “I can’t cook for four people because obviously we haven’t got pans.
“I got a chicken byriani, which you like, then I thought I’d get something saucy… but they forgot to put it in the bag.
“So we’ve basically got chicken and rice, rice and chips.”
Fans rushed to social media to have their say on Adam’s less-than-appetising takeaway order.
One wrote: “Wtf is that food Adam?” Another said: “The look on Adam’s mate’s face at the food.”
Someone else said: “If my partner told me we were getting Indian take away and came back with that order I would cry.”
And a fourth added: “It’s no wonder British food has historically had a bad reputation.”
Iconic BMW found coated in thick dust & grime after being left in garage for 8 YEARS… as mysterious owner abandoned it
A CLASSIC BMW E34 M5 has been found abandoned in the garage of a $1.5 million mansion.
Untouched since 2008 and covered in dust and grime, the retro Beemer features a black finish and a stylish ivory leather interior – but no one knows why it was left behind by its original owner.
The recently uncovered BMW, which was found and filmed by two separate YouTube channels – BigBankz and Silent Hills Explorations – comes with German license plates on the front bumper and a Georgian plate on the rear.
But unfortunately, neither channel is able to shed any light on the M5’s previous owner – other than he was doctor who, along with the BMW, owned several die-cast model cars that are found scattered throughout the home.
Believed to have been sitting in the mansion’s garage since 2008, one video claims that the BMW’s owner was spotted by the mansion’s neighbors as recently as 2015.
They claimed that they saw the man putting items into the back of a truck, as well as in his other car, a Porsche.
After some years, the neighbours became concerned about the property becoming overgrown and police were called to do a wellness check.
It was then that they discovered that the home had become abandoned, with a squatter reportedly living inside.
However, the filmmakers couldn’t provide any solid proof to these claims.
Big Bankz notes that the abandoned BMW comes with a manual transmission, and he describes it as a”beautiful car” that was “still in great condition.”
The second-generation M5, known as the E34, was built between 1988 and 1995, and was made available as a four-door saloon and a five-door estate – although the wagon iteration was unavailable in the US.
The E34 M5 featured a beefy 3.5-litre straight-six engine, capable of 310 bhp and a limited top speed of 155 mph.
This comes as two urban explorers recently discovered a treasure trove of abandoned cars which has been described as “Britain’s best” collection – and some of them are incredibly rare.
YouTube star Tazer Urbex and his friend Colin, better known as the Bearded Explorer, have stumbled across the brilliant find at a secret location – kept hidden for legal reasons.
Little is known about the owner of these vehicles, but Tazer does mention a police investigation.
Elsewhere, a petrolhead was left speechless when he discovered a lot filled with everything from vintage Mercedes to Mini Coopers.
I’m a fashionable mum – New Look has the ‘perfect’ trench coat for £40… and you can’t go wrong with M&S quality either
THE fashionistas behind an award-winning podcast have shared their go-to place for the ultimate autumn trench coat.
Broadcaster Zoe Hardman and PR guru Georgia Dayton are both mums who co-host the MadebyMammas podcast.
The duo offer career, life, beauty and fashion advice on their weekly episodes.
On a recent show, one listener wrote in looking for guidance on sourcing the ultimate trench coat for the incoming rainy season.
“Our high-street is absolutely marvellous,” Zoe responded.
She then suggested exploring New Look‘s coat selection for a stylish autumn jacket.
The podcaster claimed that you can nab a classic trench coat for around £40.
And she was spot on with the recommendation.
New Look’s timelessly-designed Belted Trench Coat is currently reduced to £40.49 from £53.99.
You can pick it up in shades of black, beige called “stone”, olive, khaki and navy.
A blurb reads: “This trench coat is a classic style that never goes out of fashion.
“Designed in a neutral colourway and featuring a belted waist, it’s a timeless choice that you’ll wear year after year.”
Georgia backed up Zoe’s advice, adding that New Look is “amazing” for cosy season buys.
She also urged women to check out Marks & Spencer for “such good stuff” where “you know the quality is there”.
The pair then went on to slam the current state of style culture.
They encouraged fellow women to not get sucked into the “noise around fashion” – and told them to wear whatever they feel comfortable in.
Fabulous Fashion Editor On Autumn Trends
WANT to look fabulous this season? Then listen up...
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024.
BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles.
TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive.
BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn.
The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe.
LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like.
Mix with satin cami dresses and waisted blazers for an ultra feminine look.
LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.
It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend.
“Don’t worry about all the noise around fashion,” Georgia said.
“Sometimes it can feel like a very small, enclosed and niche market that you’re not part of.
“But actually, fashion is for everybody, so have fun with it.”
Zoe quipped: “I just think, don’t get overwhelmed by what you ‘should’ wear.
“It’s actually really annoying me now that we’ve got into this thing.”
Their recommendation comes after New Look shoppers were racing to buy a “super-comfy” autumn essential with a 25% discount.
New Look slashed the price of the timeless Black Hooded Puffer Coat from £38.99 down to £29.24 in its winter coat sale.
Inside David Beckham’s Inter Miami revolution, from ruthlessly sacking best mate to MLS record holders with Messi’s help
INTER Miami are not just one of the world’s most fashionable clubs, they’re becoming a success story too.
Over the weekend, the club beat New England Revolution 6-2 – with Lionel Messi scoring a hat-trick.
The thrashing saw them finish the season with 74 points – the most an MLS team has ever recorded, which ironically edged out New England’s total from 2021.
David Beckham’s side have smashed a number of records this season on their way to landing the Eastern Conference title.
They won 22 games of their 34, meaning they had the highest winning percentage of any team.
Inter Miami also equalled eight other franchises in losing only four games during a regular MLS campaign.
Their talisman, without doubt, has been World Cup winner Messi – who managed 20 goals in 19 league games.
Not to be outdone, Suarez joined him on the same tally, but from 27 games.
Inter Miami have come a long way since they were founded in 2018, and are now followed by celebrities like Leo DiCaprio and Kim Kardashian.
While there early seasons were a disaster, since signing Messi they have only looked up – recently adding the MLS Supporters’ Shield to their trophy cabinet that joined their Leagues Cup trophy from 2023.
Becks had to make some ruthless decision, like sacking his best mate as manager.
However, it was a move that paid off – with Argie boss Gerrardo Martino now turning the club into a powerhouse.
Ruthless ownership
With the club struggling in its infancy under Uruguay manager Diego Alonso, Beckham turned to an old pal.
Phil Neville coached England Women during a three-year spell from 2018, until taking up Inter Miami’s offer.
Becks and Neville famously grew up together, from boys in Manchester United’s famed youth team and Class of ’92, to men in the first team scoring staggering success.
Neville’s first season was a difficult one. In his first 12 games, they won just two games and had the worst record in the MLS.
Feeling the pressure, he was then fined by the MLS after blasting the quality of referees and demanding an investigation into their decisions against his team.
Inter Miami finished 11th out of 14 teams in his first season.
Things improved in his second season, as the club reached the MLS Cup’s play offs, before losing 3-0 to New York City FC.
But they couldn’t capitalise on those foundations, and after a horrific start in Neville’s third season saw Miami rock bottom of the Eastern Conference, Beckham had to do the unthinkable.
Neville was relieved of his duties, with the owner saying in a statement at the time: “Phil has made a real contribution to the culture of our club with his qualities as a leader and knowledge as a coach.
“Sometimes in this game we have to make the toughest decisions and sadly we feel the time is right to make a change. I want to personally thank Phil for his hard work, his passion for our club and for his integrity as a person.”
Neville would later reveal in an episode of It’s Called Soccer! about the day he was sacked, and how it was probably harder for Beckham than him.
He said: “The day I actually got fired was probably actually harder for David than it was for me. He really didn’t want to do it, he was really emotional. I was emotional too but I knew it was coming so it was probably easier for me.”
Beckham, himself, recently relived that moment on podcast Rio Ferdinand Presents.
He said: “I think it was one of the most difficult things I’d had to do, even though me and Phil had spoke about it when he first came on as Miami coach, I knew that if it came to this moment, it was going to be difficult no matter what time it happened and when it happened.
“I’d called him and said, ‘we’re going to meet,’ and he said “I know.”
“We walked in the room and we hugged. It was quite emotional on my side just purely because I didn’t want to sack a friend.”
The Messiah arrives
It’s no surprise that an upturn in Inter Miami’s fortune came when Messi arrived.
Shortly after inking a contract reportedly worth £50million-per-year, the highest in MLS history, he was presented to fans in a damp squid of a unveiling ceremony interrupted by thunder and lightning.
Messi’s debut against Cruz Azul provided the Hollywood factor US football fans crave.
The star attraction entered the fray in the second half, admittedly very short of match-fitness.
That didn’t matter. Not for a man of Messi’s class who had to entertain fans who had paid over £1,000 for a ticket to see him in action.
Deep into stoppage time, Inter Miami were awarded a free kick outside the area.
Up stepped Messi to whip the ball into the top corner and give his new side the win, sending fans delirious.
It was a taste of what was to come.
A month later, the club lifted the Leagues Cup after beating Nashville on penalties. It gave them their first trophy and a winning feeling.

Joined by an old pal
This season, Messi has shared striking duties with former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez.
The two have been instrumental in leading Inter Miami to the top of the standings in the Eastern Conference.
For Messi’s goals against New England, Suarez was the foil providing his assists.
First, the two exchanged like they were Harlem Globetrotters, until Messi curled the ball from the edge of the area into the corner of the net.
His hat-trick strike came from a volleyed pass from a stretching Suarez on the right was met by Messi to catch the ball on the volley, himself, and side foot home.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino has selected Inter Miami to play in the Club World Cup in 2025, partly because of their success and the Messi factor.
The revolution will, most probably, be televised.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame viewers slam Dua Lipa as ‘pitchy’ in live duet with Cher – but fans point out reason
ROCK and Roll Hall of Fame viewers have slammed Dua Lipa as ‘pitchy’ following her live duet with Cher – but other fans have pointed out the possibly reason why.
Singer Dua, 29, was joined by pop royalty Cher, 78, as she took to the stage for a belting performance at the annual Induction Ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday.
However, their duet of Cher’s 1998 hit Believe received mix reactions online, with some branding Dua’s performance “pitchy” and “underwhelming.”
However, others pointed out that she may have been “under-singing” on purpose while her collaborator went full steam ahead.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: “Geez…Dua Lipa sounds terrible. If this was some singing competition, she would be out immediately.”
Another added: “Dua Lipa is quite literally singing live too that’s why we hear how awful most of it was.”
Someone else agreed: “Dua Lipa is me singing along with the radio.”
A fourth stated: “Anyone other than Cher singing this songs always sounds like bad karaoke, and that includes Dua Lipa unfortunately. Cher’s voice totally blew her out of the water.”
But a fifth rushed to her defence, asking: “Am I the only one who thinks Dua Lipa was under singing on purpose. Real Dua fans know she did not sing at full potential.”
And a sixth pointed out: “don’t forget that dua performed the day before for two hours in the royal Albert Hall.”
Cher, herself, has admitted to using autotune on the track, admitting on The Jennifer Hudson Show this year: “My record Believe was the first time auto-tune was ever used.
“It was called pitch machine, and it happened because of an argument that I had with my producer.”
The Turn Back Time songstress revealed she “walked out” on a studio session after being asked to “sing it better” over and over.
She added: “But then he called me the next day, and he said, ‘Cher, I just got this thing in, it’s called a pitch machine. And I’m doing some things and give me a couple hours and then come in ‘cause I think I’ve got something really interesting.’”
After hearing the final product, the Grammy winner said, “We both jumped up and high-fived. It was just the emotion of it.”
