Body found during search for man in his 60s missing in River Thames after boat capsized & 6 fell in river
A BODY has been found during a search for a man in his 60s who went missing in the river Thames after a boat capsized.
Six people fell into the water at Sunbury Lock in Surrey at around 8.50am on October 11.

A specialist search team recovered his body near Sunbury Weir earlier today, Surrey Police said in an update this evening.
Formal identification is yet to take place, but the missing man’s family have been informed.
The grieving family is being supported by a specialist officer from the force.
Cops are now probing the man’s death – but it is not being treated as suspicious.
Chief Inspector Andy Jenkins said: “Throughout this tragic incident we have been in close contact with the man’s family.
“We have offered them support and information during this incredibly difficult time.
“Our thoughts remain with them, and we ask that their privacy is respected while they come to terms with their loss.”
Love Island winner Molly Smith strips to thong bikini to reveal gym-honed figure
LOVE Island star Molly Smith stripped off to show off her enviable figure in a slew of stunning snaps.
The TV beauty is currently enjoying a sun-soaked getaway in Miami, Florida and wasted no time in showing off her ample assets in a tiny bikini.
Molly Smith showed off her jaw-dropping figure in seriously stunning snaps[/caption] She flashed her behind as she took in the sunsets in Miami[/caption] The results of her hard work at the gym were clear to see[/caption]Blonde bombshell Molly looked seriously stunning as her tanned complexion shone through in the sunset snaps.
Wearing a multi-coloured two-piece, the result of Molly’s hard work in the gym was clear to see for all.
Likely making her followers green with envy, Molly’s impressive abs poked through as she struck a series of playful poses for the jaw-dropping pictures.
The All Stars champ captioned the pictures: “Golden hour magic.”
In another cheeky snap, Molly showed off her peachy behind as she looked out onto the Miami waters from her impressively-positioned balcony.
Showing his clear admiration for the cheeky photos, Molly’s boyfriend Tom Clare commented under the pics: “Must of looked at these about 20 times now I need to chill.”
Having bagged the crown from the first ever All Stars edition of the ITV dating show that turned the pair into stars in January of this year, things have moved unbelievably quick for the adorable duo.
The pair have already purchased their first luxury home together after raking in the pounds following their second stint on reality TV.
After popping a bottle of champagne in the garden, Molly told her followers: “‘Home is where the heart is’ – We’ve officially bought our first home, we couldn’t be happier.”
She also posted a video of herself, Tom and their pet dog running around a luxurious water feature in their new back garden.
They even found themselves sparking marriage rumours earlier this year with a very telling Instagram post.
The rumour mill went into overdrive when Tom seemingly revealed Molly to be his “wife” in a cryptic snap.
The picture was taken as they cosied up together in front of the TV in their brand new home.
Interestingly, Tom had tagged Molly in alongside the word: “Wifey.”

Jennifer Lawrence, 34, pregnant with second child – two years after welcoming son
JENNIFER Lawrence is pregnant with her second child.
The Oscar-winning actress already has two-year-old son Cy with husband Cooke Maroney.
Jennifer Lawrence is pregnant with her second child[/caption] Jennifer welcomed son Cy two years ago and has spoken about how much she loves motherhood[/caption] The actress married art gallery director Cooke Maroney in 2019[/caption]Now the couple are expecting baby number two, with the happy news being confirmed to Vogue.
Jennifer, 34, married Cooke – an art gallery director – in 2019 after dating for a year.
They tied the knot at the Belcourt of Newport mansion in Rhode Island.
Back in 2022 after the birth of Cy, Jennifer opened up about how it felt to be a first time mum.
She told Vogue: “It felt like my whole life had started over.
“I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing.”
The baby news comes a year after an insider told US Weekly the couple were thinking about expanding their brood.
They said: “They’re thinking about having another child.
‘At first they weren’t sure if they wanted another one because it’s so much work, but they’re obsessed with Cy and love showing off videos to their friends and family.
“They’ve started warming up to the possibility of a second.”
Before marrying Cooke, Jennifer was in a relationship with British actor Nicholas Hoult for four years after meeting on the set of X-Men: First Class in 2010.
Following their split, she dated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky from 2016 after they had met while filming the movie, Mother!
But a little over a year later the couple split up and she went on to meet husband Cooke the following year.
Jennifer won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook in 2012.
She was just 22 at the time, making her the second youngest actress to ever win the accolade.
Her other notable film credits include American Hustle, Winter‘s Bone and The Hunger Games franchise.
The couple’s latest pregnancy news was confirmed to Vogue[/caption]‘Fluffy & only £8!’ delighted shopper squeals after nabbing budget dupe of £100 UGG slippers loved by Molly-Mae in B&M
IF you would love to spend cosy nights in with Ugg slippers but can’t justify the price tag, fear not.
A shopper has claimed to have found a dupe at B&M which costs just £8.
Molly Mae has jumped on the Ugg slipper hype[/caption]With the Ugg version costing £105, this is certainly ideal for those watching the pennies.
TikTok user @lucygriffiths01 shared photos of the “fluffy” cheaper pair, which comes a range of colours, including tan, grey, and cream.
The B&M slippers are their Snuggle Platform Mule, which look rather similar to Ugg’s Tazz platform slippers.
Lucy showed how she had bought the brown colour, and even her dog approved of the purchase.
The fashion lover said she would be able to use them out the house too as they have an “outdoor and indoor sole.”
She added: “They have sizes up to 7/8.”
The B&M website states: “Ladies Boxed Mule Snuggle Slippers. Pure warmth and comfort!
“Keep your feet comfy and cosy around the house with these Mule Snuggle Slippers.
“Perfect for winter time and a great Christmas gift or stocking filler for loved ones.
“Keep your toesies roasty toasty!”
Meanwhile, the Ugg version has sizes from three to eight, with a 1.5inch platform heel.
The description reads: “The UGG Tazz Platform Slippers have arrived! These sought after slippers land in the classic chestnut tan colourway, with a smooth suede upper, soft sheepskin and UGGPlush wool lining to keep those feet cosy, and an EVA platform outsole. “These are a must!”
Many people seemed keen to snap up the Ugg-dupe slippers for themselves.
With one saying: “Ooooo u have tempted me to.”
Another added: “i need the brown pair.”

Uggs have made their way back to being one of the hottest shoes on the market.
Fashion search analysts, Lyst, reported that at the end of 2022 they had over 1.2billion mentions on TikTok.
From supermodels like Irina Shayk to influencers like Molly-Mae Hague they are everywhere.
Whether you’re snapping up Primark’s £6 Ugg dupe or splashing cash on the real thing they have become a wardrobe essential for everyone.
UGGS...UGG-ly or UGG-ssential?
Fabulous’ Deputy Fashion Editor, Abby McHale, has shared her opinion on whether UGGS are in or out this season.
“The term UGG originates from Australia, they were often worn by surfers in the 60’s coming over to the UK during the 70’s.
After Oprah featured UGG boots as part of ‘Oprah’s favourite things’ in 2003 sales of the brand skyrocketed.
Everyone from Paris Hilton to Kate Moss and even Beyonce were donning these fur lined boots and that meant everyone else had to copy.
Back in the day I decided to go cheap and instead of buying a pair from the UGG brand themself which would have set me back around £100, I went to Dorothy Perkins and bought myself some black ones that cost a quarter of the price.
They lasted probably all of a month before they were ruined from the wet weather, I was walking on the side of them and they just looked downright scruffy.
After that I knew they weren’t for me.
Synonymous with noughties chavs wearing them with neon socks and tucking them into onesies they went from being the in thing to a major fashion faux pas.
Finally people could see that they needed to get rid.
They may have been and still are the definition of comfort – however does that mean that we have to be seen back out in public wearing them?
If it was up to me I’d be keeping these boots parked firmly back in 2008 where they belong.
Don’t get me wrong I think the UGG slippers are great and would happily wear a pair of them in the comfort of my own home, but that’s as far as I stretch.
This time round celebrities such as Olivia Attwood, Emily Ratajkowski and Kate Garraway have all been donning the boots.
However, it looks like they are wearing them in between takes on shoot, running errands or a trip to work before swapping for a pair of heels.
Hopefully it stays this way and people just wear them for comfort over fashion – I for one will be sticking with my trainers on this one.”
Thomas Tuchel parts ways with long-term coach from PSG, Chelsea and Bayern after joining England
THOMAS TUCHEL has parted ways with long-term coaching partner Zsolt Low.
Tuchel has penned an 18-month contract as England manager and won’t be bringing Low along for the journey.
Low, 45, has been working alongside Tuchel since 2018 where the pair began their professional relationship at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Hungarian coach worked as Tuchel’s assistant manager at PSG and then stayed by his side in the same position at both Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
But despite seeing through six years and nearly 300 games together, Low is now looking to pursue his own path in football away from Tuchel.
Low had previously worked as an assistant manager at RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg and FC Liefering.
While his previous employment has seen him work alongside other top managers including Ralf Rangnick and Ralph Hassenhuttl.
Tuchel has opted for another familiar face to join him in the dugout at Wembley instead.
The German already confirmed that his trusted assistant Anthony Barry – who worked with the him at Chelsea and Bayern Munich – will be joining the team as his right-hand man.
Barry learnt his craft in the lower leagues of English football and even earned his Uefa Pro License after writing a dissertation on every single throw-in from the 2018-19 Premier League season – all 16,380 of them.

There could be some more recognisable faces coming through the doors at St George’s Park.
It looks like former Chelsea goalkeeper and Premier League champion Henrique Hilario will be joining Tuchel’s Three Lions backroom team.
Best known by his second name alone, Hilario spent eight years as a back-up keeper for the Blues before hanging up his gloves and immediately joining the club’s staff as a goalkeeping coach.
The 48-year-old has been with the club ever since, including Tuchel’s stint as boss in SW6.
He might not be the only staff member that Tuchel pinches from Stamford Bridge, either.
Reports claim the new England gaffer is expected to recruit Chelsea video analyst James Melbourne to his team, too.
Melbourne, 42, has worked as an analyst under multiple Chelsea bosses including Tuchel, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafa Benítez and Guus Hiddink.
Starting as an apprentice at Grimsby Town, Melbourne worked his way to the top and currently manages the analysis department at Chelsea.
Henrique Hilario is expected to join the England coaching staff[/caption]ANDY DILLON: Thomas Tuchel has all the ingredients to become a classic England manager – tactical nous, drive and a tangled love life
By Andy Dillon
THOMAS TUCHEL possesses all the ingredients to become a classic England manager.
Tactical nous, drive, energy, experience – a tangled love life.
English football should welcome back the most explosive, dynamic, charismatic and impossibly tall and gangly coach to have lit up the Premier League.
Chelsea’s colourful former boss has been leading a settled life in Munich of late.
Far enough away from ex-wife Sissi but close enough to see his two daughters.
Walking his dog in the streets in the east of Germany’s most fashionable city, residing in the posh Bogenhausen area. Living relatively quietly with his Brazilian girlfriend.
Tuchel is a vastly different personality to the man who led England quietly but assuredly to the brink of World Cups and European Championships.
An excitable nature can make him hard to handle for those seeking calm and who like to impose their way on a manager they view very much as an underling.

Meet Megan Clarke: Woman scammed, manipulated & defrauded by love cheat Robert Madejski aka Lord Bertie Underwood
MEGAN Clarke thought she found her Prince Charming when she met Lord Bertie Underwood.
But just months before their wedding, Megan uncovered a shocking truth — her dream man was a scammer, leaving her heartbroken and £30,000 in debt.
Megan Clarke was scammed by Lord Bertie Underwood[/caption] She came forward with her story in a Channel 4 series called Love Cheats.[/caption]Megan Clarke is a woman who bravely shared her personal story of falling victim to a romance scam in a Channel 4 series called Love Cheats.
At the age of 20, Megan entered into what seemed like a fairytale romance with a man named Lord Bertie Underwood.
Meeting Lord Bertie Underwood
Lord Bertie Underwood is a scammer who uses women to fraud them[/caption]She met Lord Bertie Underwood in 2017 on the Isle of Wight while working as a bar manager.
It was a midweek evening during the summer when Bertie walked into her bar.
Megan noticed him immediately because he stood out — he was tall, dark, handsome, well-dressed, and very polite.
He introduced himself as Bertie Underwood and claimed to be a horologist, who had recently moved to the island from the mainland.
A horologist is someone who designs and repairs watches.
Their connection was instant, and just days after meeting, Bertie sent a huge bouquet of flowers to Megan’s workplace, along with a note inviting her on a date.
She said in the show: “Within days he’d sent a huge bunch of flowers to my work.
“There was a note saying ‘it was lovely to meet you, be ready for 7pm tonight, I’m taking you on a date’.
“It definitely felt like what they do in the movies.
“There’s not that many ‘gentlemen’ out there who’d send flowers, just to ask you on a date.”
Taking her on dates
After their first few dates, Megan’s romance with Lord Bertie Underwood quickly intensified.
Their first date was luxurious, with a fancy dinner at an upscale restaurant where they shared champagne and a three-course meal.
During these early dates, Bertie revealed he was a lord, openly discussing his supposed aristocratic background, even claiming that his great-great-grandfather had invented the Underwood typewriter, which he said was the source of his family’s wealth.
Within a month of dating, they had both said “I love you”.
Proposal
Bertie also bought Megan expensive gifts, including a car and a puppy.
A few months into their relationship, Megan moved into Bertie’s beautiful three-story house with a sea view, which he claimed he had bought at auction.
Six months after they started dating, Bertie proposed to Megan with what appeared to be a five-carat Cartier diamond ring on Christmas.
Suspicious activities
Megan thought she found a gentleman in Lord Bertie Underwood[/caption]Megan began to notice signs that something was wrong about a year into her relationship with him, just two months before their planned wedding.
There were small warning signs during the relationship like Bertie insisting on not posting him on social media because of his father’s high-ranking job in the navy.
However, things started to seem suspicious when Megan noticed a lot of letters arriving at their home with names she didn’t recognise.
Her suspicions grew, and she decided to investigate further.
One day, she searched his office and found multiple bank cards with various names, none of which were Bertie Underwood.
When she confronted him about the discovery, she said Bertie became “very defensive and irate”.
She started to search online for the names on the bank cards.
Megan then found his face and aliases appeared in multiple news articles, linking him to a long history of fraud.
His real name was not Bertie Underwood, and he had been using several aliases, including Robert Doughty and Robert Soanes-Madejski.
He had a criminal record for various scams, including trying to con someone out of a Bentley in 2012.
Tricking Megan
Megan received credit card letters in her name which she did not recognise[/caption]After Megan found out who he was, he left her.
He secretly took out credit cards and loans in her name, ultimately leaving her with £30,000 in debt.
Megan went to the police after letters arrived with credit card bills in her name.
She said: “We went to the police and action fraud [but] unfortunately there wasn’t a great deal they could do.”
Since then, Megan has worked hard to rebuild her life after the traumatic experience with Lord Bertie.
She has started her own successful photography business and now owns her own home.
Megan has managed to pay off most of the debt and is continuing to move forward, although she is still making payments on some outstanding bills.
And Lord Bertie Underwood was eventually arrested.
He was convicted for unrelated fraud charges involving another victim and sentenced to five years in prison.
However, despite being imprisoned, Bertie managed to escape from prison in May 2022 and is still on the run.
