SHE might have a rumoured net worth of £1.2 million but when it comes to her wardrobe Jacqueline Jossa bloomin’ LOVES a high street bargain! 

Whether she’s on the sofa in her Primark pyjamas or out on the town in a River Island dress, the mum-of-two keeps her looks cool, casual and with a girl next door vibe.  

Instagram

And her fans love it, often praising her for keeping it real, recycling her favourite looks and having one of the most relatable and shoppable wardrobes out there. 

Big fashion brands have noticed too. 

In December The Sun exclusively revealed how the I’m A Celebrity Queen of the Jungle had landed a six-figure deal with In The Style and will launch her own collection in 2020.

A source close to the ex-EastEnders actress, 27, said: “Jacqueline has been massively in demand since winning I’m A Celeb and she’s been courted by some huge brands but she wanted to team up with In The Syle because she’s a fan of their ranges.

“She’s signed a huge six figure deal with them to release her own collections, just like Charlotte Crosby and Billie Faiers.”

But what’s her secret? 

We caught up with her stylist Kelvin Barron, who has worked with Jacqueline since 2012, to find out…

Comfort always comes first

Kelvin says: “Above all she loves to be comfortable and practical for her day-to-day life as a mum of two young girls.

“If she had a choice to get glammed up on and go on a red carpet or sit on the sofa in a Primark onesie, it’d be the sofa.

“She doesn’t tend to follow trends but she is very open minded and experimental when it comes to new colours or brands.

“People love Jac’s looks as she is very normal,” Kelvin adds.

“She likes shopping in places where her friends will go, whether that’s taking the girls around Lakeside and rummaging in Primark or clicking through dresses on PrettyLittleThing.

Primark bargains for instant glam

“In Primark, for example, what she loves is the accessories. She wore one of their hairbands for New Year and is a fan of their statement jewellery too – it’s an easy way to give an outfit an edge.

“If she likes it and feels good in it she’ll buy it. Jacqueline isn’t the type of girl who cares about the label on her back.

Instagram

“Her go-to brands are Topshop, River Island, New Look, Primark, In The Style and PrettyLittleThing,” he adds.

“She will invest in the odd designer piece from places like Michael Kors too but her everyday wardrobe would always be high street.

“But she’s not afraid to tailor looks and make something her own.

“Often she’ll chose a wardrobe for a season and then we’ll take up a hemline or bring it in at the waist so it fits her better.

“She’ll re-wear stuff too because if recycling your wardrobe is good enough for Kate Middleton, it’s good enough for Jac!”

Body battles

But despite finding her style groove – after once saying she’s “terrible” at shopping for herself – Jacqueline has admitted to struggling with her body image over the years.

“I don’t look the same as I did before having 2 beautiful kids,” she wrote on Instagram last year.

“I now have 2 amazing kids and I’m curvy!

“I didn’t used to love it. It was a big change from being 21 and slim, size 8 to all of a sudden a mother and a different body all together.

“I want to thank my body, my lumps and bumps for everything! I love you!

“Truthfully I honestly don’t really care what people think of my body because I love it! I’m still working on it but that’s okay!”

But despite this, Kelvin says her confidence in her style and body has really grown over the years.

He says: “She used to say she hates her thighs but, since becoming a mum, she’s grown much more into herself because she wants to set a good example to Ella and Mia.

“She’s been trolled in the past over her looks and her body but she doesn’t care what people think anymore. You can’t please everyone and she learnt to accept that.”

Instagram

After being crowned the I’m A Celebrity Queen, Jacqueline hinted at her body hang-ups saying it was the first thing she asked about when she came out of camp.

She lost a stone – living off a rationed diet each day and often just rice and beans – but admitted she “was hoping for more.”

Instagram

As she saw in the New Year earlier this week, Jac also reflected on the past 10 years since being cast as Lauren Branning in EastEnders.

She revealed that while it was a dream job, cruel trolls branded her “the new fat Lauren Branning”.

She wrote: “10 years ago I landed the BEST job in the world! Loved ever second of it, this picture changed my life.

“I used to hate this picture so much, I got trolled so, so badly: ‘The new fat Lauren Branning’, ‘Why recast and then get someone so much uglier, and what is the hair cut?’

“I admit I really hate the hair cut now, but jeez ppl can be mean, and to a 17 year old girl, words hurt a lot!”

Instagram

The actress went on to add that she is still hurt by the comments, explaining: “It affected me for a LONG time! Probably still does actually if I’m being honest. Still, 10 years on, I did seven years on the show of my dreams and had two beautiful children.

“To end this year, I just became QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE! WOW!! My life has changed so much and had so many ups and downs in these 10 years.

Instagram

“I can honestly say heading into 2020 I’m excited, happy and content! Thank you for supporting me.

“Also, big shout out to the people who will remember this first girl, 17 year old me that just landed a role that would change her life, feeling overwhelmed and so lucky, thanks a million.”

No problem, Jac – we think you’re smashing it!

TOURISTS heading to Dubai have been warned to “remain vigilant” following the US airstrikes in Iran which killed General Qasem Soleimani.

The Foreign Office have updated their latest travel advice for Brits heading to the country.

The latest warning from the government states: “Following the death of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in a US strike in Baghdad on 3 January, British nationals in the region should remain vigilant and keep up to date with the latest developments, including via the media and this travel advice.”

Tensions remain high in a number of countries including Turkey and Egypt as well, following fears of reprisals against tourists.

Protests in Iran have raised concerns that western tourists could be targeted.

A professor has warned westerners to leave the UAE in case of attacks.

Iranian Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi from the University of Tehran warned the BBC: “If I was a Western citizen I would leave the United Arab Emirates immediately.”

He added: “Not only will Iranian leaders retaliate but also Iraqis will retaliate.”

Terrorist attacks also remain “likely” in the UAE, with a “heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals.”

Last year, P&O cancelled all cruises to Dubai after fears they could be targeted due to tensions between the country and Iran.

However, approximately 1.5 million British tourists visit the UAE every year without problems, with cheap holidays and package deals from the UK.

One lucky man got a holiday to Dubai for just £99 after he booked a Wowcher Mystery Holiday deal.

A MAN is due to appear in court today after being charged forrobbing a shop at knifepoint yesterday in Mallow.

The 50-year-old allegedly entered the Cork shop and demanded cash from the store’s assistant shortly after 6.30pm on Sunday evening.

It is believed that a knife was used to threaten staff and fled the scene with cash.

Gardai from Mallow carried out a search of the area and arrested the man alongside the knife believed to be used in the recovery.

He is due to appear before Cork City District Court this morning at 10.30am.

A spokesperson said: “Gardaí have arrested and charged a man in his 50s in relation to a robbery at a shop in Ballydaheen, Mallow, Co Cork on the 5th January, 2020.

“Shortly after 6.30pm, a man armed with what is believed to be a knife entered the shop, threatened staff and demanded cash from the shop assistant.

“The man then left the scene with a sum of cash.

“Gardaí from Mallow, assisted by the Southern Region Dog Unit, carried out a search of the area and a man In 50s was arrested.

“The knife that was believed to have been used during the robbery was also recovered.

“He was brought to Mallow Garda Station and detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

“He has since been charged and is due to appear before Cork City District Court this morning, 6th January at 10.30am”

THIBAUT COURTOIS has gone from Real Madrid’s “worst-ever transfer” to what the Spanish press are calling “redemption” as he enjoys the form of his life.

The former Chelsea stopper, 27, had the game of his life with a series of stunning saves as Los Blancos finally overcame a stubborn Getafe at the weekend.

With the game perilously poised at 1-0 thanks to Raphael Varane’s opener, Courtois pulled off three outrageous saves to keep his side ahead.

Varane later went on to grab a second after the break before Luka Modric made it 3-0 in the sixth minute of added time.

After the game, boss Zinedine Zidane was full of praise for Courtois, calling him one of the “best in the world”.

Zidane claimed: “For me, he is the best. I have no doubt about it, he’s proven that.”

It’s a remarkable turnaround for the Belgian, who was once desperately close to being sold after struggling to adjust to La Liga life.

Courtois cost Real Madrid £38million in 2018 but made a string of errors and was even dropped as his future at the Bernabeu looked bleak.

Rex Features

Zidane handed Alphonse Areola – a summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain – a handful of starts earlier this season.

And it appears to have lit a fire under Courtois, who has been much more of a commanding presence in the Real Madrid area, while he’s back to his shot-stopping best.

Through the 2019-20 season so far, the former Blues No1 is enjoying career-best numbers in minutes per goal conceded (160) and save rate (79.1 per cent).

He’s also kept the third-most clean sheets in La Liga this season with nine, despite playing fewer games.

On top of that, his save percentage is second in the top-flight, behind only Athletic Bilbao star Unai Simon – who was once being lined-up to replace Courtois before his resurgence.

A BRIDE has been slammed after sharing a picture of her engagement ring taken while DRIVING at 40mph.

The epic – and not to mention dangerous – blunder was picked up by members of a ring shaming group on Facebook.

Facebook

It’s not unusual for a newly-engaged woman to proudly share pics of her beloved ring.

Many can’t wait to snap their new addition in various locations –  including , occasionally, behind the wheel before they set off to their intended location.

And on first glance, it would seem that the eager bride in question had parked up when she felt the need to take a pic of her left hand.

However, on closer inspection, eagle-eyed group members noticed that she had actually snapped the pic whilst speeding at 43mph.

Facebook

And to say commenters were not impressed would be an understatement.

One riled up member wrote: “Why are you driving 40mph while taking a picture of your pet tick?”

While another slammed her decision as selfish, saying: “That ring is almost as hideous as the damage you’d cause if you crashed while taking a picture of that piece of trash.”

Another agreed: “If I had that ring, I would want to die as well. Just not by photographing that snot ball while driving.”

Facebook

One group member asked: “You literally couldn’t wait until after you were driving to snap a picture? ”

And another was equally horrified by her decision to “put other people at risk so you can take a picture of your ugly ass Anthropology costume jewellery.”

This fellow member clearly agreed, commenting: “You couldn’t wait till you got to your destination and parked? The picture of your overgrown tonsil stone of a ring was more important than other people’s safety huh?”

While others just dismissed her as a “deadset idiot.”

Facebook

As well as being horrified by the context of the photo-taking, group members were equally unimpressed by the aesthetics of the actual ring.

One compared the design to a “sack of baby spiders” as well as “dirty lake water.”

And many members seemed to be in agreement that it resembled “snot” and a “desiccated boogie.”

While another mused that they “recently coughed up something very similar looking.”

And it’s clear that the ring itself, as well as the way the picture was taken, left a very bad taste in people’s mouths!

In other news, we told you about the bride who asked a friend not to attend their wedding because her recent stillbirth will ‘take attention off her’ on ‘special day.’

We also revealed how a bride has been slammed for tying her baby to her dress before walking down the aisle.

And a another bride got savaged for asking if she can ditch her “bald” bridesmaid with cancer.

DAUGHTER of slain General Qassem Soleimani, Zeinab Soleimani, issued a chilling threat to US troops on state TV.

Ms Soleimani swore during her father’s funeral that US soldiers’ families “will spend their days waiting for the death of their children”.

Ms Soleimani’s threat of the attack on the U.S. military in the Middle East was made while speaking to a cheering crowd of hundreds of thousands in Tehran that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Her threat was echoed by Gen Soleimani’s replacement, Esmail Ghaani, who has vowed to take revenge in an interview with Iranian state TV.

He said: “We promise to continue down martyr Soleimani’s path as firmly as before with the help of God, and in return for his martyrdom we aim to get rid of America from the region.”

The assassination of General Soleimani was a US retaliation for an Iranian backed attack on the US embassy in Iraq and fears that he was plotting against American diplomats.

Since the attack, Iran has made a full withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal that was painstakingly accomplished after decades of negotiation to bring peace to the region.

Iran has also put an $80 million bounty on Trump’s head and has threatened to ‘turn day into night’ as Trump continues to goad and mock them on Twitter.

WORLD WAR THREE FEARS

The steep escalation came months of tensions between the US and Iran in which Tehran shot down an American military surveillance drone and seized oil tankers.

But there are serious concerns the execution could cause the outbreak of World War Three after Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei promised “harsh vengeance”, “jihad” and “crushing revenge”.

Searches for World War Three spiked on Google within hours of the airstrike and began trending on Twitter as the news broke.

And Trump deployed 3,500 troops to the Middle East in retaliation to threats by Iran vowing to “turn day into night”.

HIGH ALERT

Major US cities – including New York and Los Angeles – say they have already ramped up security in the aftermath to prevent any revenge attacks.

There are fears the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group may already have sleeper cells in the US ready to pounce.

Soleimani had landed at Baghdad Airport early yesterday morning where he was met by Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of the pro-Iran Popular Mobilization forces in Iraq.

As the cars passed through a cargo area for an access road leading out of the airport, the vehicle was struck by at least two missiles by a US MQ9 Reaper drone which was being controlled remotely.

PEAKY Blinders creator Steven Knight has paid tribute to Tommy Shelby after series five’s suicide twist – before teasing ‘best ever’ season six.

The BBC drama’s last series ended with Tommy – played by Cillian Murphy – questioning his own existence as he held a gun to his head in a foggy field after his plan to foil Oswald Mosley failed.

BBC

Tommy saw his dead wife Grace (Annabelle Wallis) stood in front of him, and she encouraged him to take his own life to be with her again.

But after Steven was awarded a CBE in the New Year honours list for his services to drama, entertainment and the community of Birmingham, he hinted Peaky fans will see Tommy again.

In a statement to the BBC following his honour, Steven said he would be celebrating “Tommy Shelby style.”

PA:Press Association

BBC

He added the fictional gangster “occasionally has a bottle of champagne, so that’s what I’ll do.”

As well as paying tribute to Tommy, Steven also teased the next series of Peaky Blinders will be “the best yet”.

He said: “I’ve just finished writing series six and it’s the best yet, but we always say that.”

Steven previously revealed how he would like the show to continue on to a seventh season and explore World War II.

BBC Press Handout

Speaking at the premiere of series five, Steven said: “I wanted to have a beginning, middle and end in terms of the storyline but I don’t ever set off with a plan.

“I set off with a destination usually. The main destination is the end of the whole thing, which is the start of the Second World War.

“And I know what scene that is going to be, I know how it’s going to end.”

ARSENAL have “made formal contact” with Bayern Munich over a transfer for Jerome Boateng, according to reports.

The German centre-back, 31, is valued at around £15.3million by the Bundesliga giants.

And Bayern are ready to move on the 2014 World Cup-winning defender, who has been criticised in recent seasons.

ARSENAL NEWS LIVE: Follow for all the latest on the Gunners

According to Foot Mercato,  Bayern boss Hans-Dieter Flick is happy to let Boateng go with Benjamin Pavard, David Alaba and Javi Martinez ahead of him in the reckoning.

Mikel Arteta is keen to improve the quality of his options in defence, with the Gunners guilty of conceding too many shots on goal during Unai Emery’s reign.

According to Bild last week, Arsenal may be able to get Boateng on a free if they pick up the tab on his wages, totalling just under £200,000-a-week.

Hakim Ziyech is another star the North London club have been linked with, with Ajax ready to sell their Moroccan star winger for £42.5m.

Arteta’s defensive headache was also made worse by the fact that Calum Chambers picked up a serious ACL injury that has ruled him out for at least nine months.

Munich are attempting to turn around their Bundesliga season after a poor start to the campaign that saw former boss Niko Kovac sacked in November.

They are currently third, four points behind leaders RB Leipzig and three points ahead of Borussia Dortmund.

A MUM finally gave in to pressure to paint her daughter’s bedroom black – and people are seriously impressed with the results.

The mum wasn’t too sure about the dark shade after her ten-year-old wanted to re-decorate in her own style – but repeatedly asked for the gloomy colour.

Facebook

After being ‘pestered’ the mum scoured the internet for inspiration, and finally came round to the idea.

She ended up sourcing all the materials on a budget, hitting up stores such as B&M and Ikea.

She shared snaps of her handiwork to Facebook group DIY On A Budget, where people are raving about the finished result.

She said: “Bit the bullet and agreed after a lot of pestering off my 10 year old daughter to paint her room BLACK today!

Facebook

“My initial answer was a flat out NO but the more I looked on Pinterest at photos, the more it grew on me and I absolutely love it!

“Done totally on a budget.”

She decided to make black the main feature wall, and paint the others in white for a contrast.

She added: “The black paint is Dulux rich black (£15 a tin from B&Ms, we didn’t use a full tin and it’s a huge wall) white paint is Johnston’s brilliant white (£11 for a huge tub from B&Ms).

Facebook

“Bedside table is also from B&Ms for only £25 and the other furniture is from Ikea.”

Her post has been liked more than 700 times, as people were pleasantly
surprised with the outcome.

One person said: “That’s a ‘pick your battles’ issue. I’m glad you gave in… I’m sure her pleasure is worth it! Beautiful!”

Another wrote: “You think of walls painted black and think yuk. But what you have done here is very nice well done.”

Facebook

A third said: “I really like it not to over the top on black.”

This person thought: “Looks brilliant.”

While someone else added: “That looks pretty hun makes it look relaxing.”

This woman managed to turn her two couches into a corner sofa with a saw and some glue.

While this mum completely transformed her dirty pots using 89p cleaning spray which Mrs Hinch loves.

Plus this woman revamped her bathroom by making a floor out of 1p coins.

NICOLE Kidman fought back tears at the Golden Globes last night over the bush fires that continue to rage across Australia.

The home of the Hollywood star is among those now being threatened by the fires, which have killed 24 people and scorched some 24,000 square miles since August.

Speaking to Aussie station 10 News First ahead of the Los Angeles ceremony, Kidman said: “We’re devastated.

“We’re devastated for Australia right now. I’m so…”

The actress then tailed off, sounding on the brink of tears over the carnage unfolding in her home country.

She also revealed that she and singer husband Keith Urban would be donating $500,000 (£380,000) to help emergency services in Australia fight the fires.

She later cut short her time talking to reporters on the red carpet, saying: “I’m so sorry.

“I’m so distracted right now with everything that’s happening in Australia.”

An insider told Us Weekly that Kidman had found out the home she shares with Urban was under threat from the fire in the hours before the Globes.

“She just found out and got off a plane right before coming here,” the insider said.

“She was crying walking in.”

A representative for Kidman later said: “Their house is not on fire.

“It is under threat, so keeping a close eye on it.”

Actress Selena Gomez and singer Pink are among the other stars to have pledged money towards the relief effort.

‘WE NEED TO SECURE OUR FUTURE’

The Golden Globes ceremony, the 77th at which the awards have been given, saw some of Hollywood’s biggest names unable to attend because of the threat of the fires.

Russell Crowe was given the award for Best Actor in a Mini-Series for his portrayal of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes in The Loudest Voice.

Presenting the award, former Friends star Jennifer Aniston said Crowe had been unable to attend because he was “protecting his family from the devastating bushfires”.

She then read a statement sent by Crowe, which said: “Make no mistake, the tragedy unfolding in Australia is climate change-based.

“We need to act based on science, move our global workforce to renewable energy, and respect our planet for the unique and amazing place it is.

“That way we all have a future. Thank you.”

Australia’s 2019-2020 fire season has been unusually fierce because of the combined effects of record-high heat, record-low rainfall, and strong winds.

Hundreds of properties have been destroyed so far and up to one billion animals are feared to have perished.

It is feared the fires will not be brought under control until the country sees some significant rainfall.

MANCHESTER UNITED and Man City are battling it out to sign Harry Winks, according to reports.

The 23-year-old midfielder has started just three of Jose Mourinho’s nine Premier League matches in charge.

PA:Press Association

And injury was added to insult when Winks went off after twisting his ankle in the first-half of the 1-1 FA Cup clash against Middlesbrough on the weekend.

The England star is now a huge doubt to face Liverpool – and his Spurs career is equally up in the air.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could pounce with his midfield looking weak, say The Athletic.

SunSport told you Paul Pogba’s time at Old Trafford is over – and Solskjaer confirmed the £89million man has suffered a further injury setback which could see him out until February.

Real Madrid have long held an interest in the 26-year-old World Cup winner and could offer Toni Kroos as part of a deal for Pogba.

Scott McTominay was spotted on crutches after suffering knee ligament injury in the 4-1 win over Newcastle last month.

United are currently left with just two central midfielders in Fred and Nemanja Matic.

But their bid to make up the numbers in the middle could be thwarted by City.

SunSport told you Fernandinho is to be offered a new contract, despite turning 35 in May.

The veteran Brazilian has just a few months remaining on his existing deal and is free to talk to other clubs on the continent.

But now he looks set to extend his stellar City career into an eighth season.

Winks had a big part to play under former boss Mauricio Pochettino but Mourinho has not taken too much of a liking to him.

Daniel Levy can charge a premium for him given he is English, young and has a contract running until 2024.

BEYONCE was accused of throwing serious shade at Joaquin Phoenix after failing to stand up to celebrate the Joker star’s 2020 Golden Globes win.

The American scooped the gong for Best Actor Drama and was immediately greeted by a standing ovation from the majority of the star-studded crowd at the Beverly Hills Hotel – just not the popstar.

The Halo singer, 38, arrived late to the ceremony with husband Jay-Z and their security team.

She made a sassy fashion statement in an eye-popping yellow dress with huge puffed sleeves and a plunging neckline which showed off her cleavage.

The body of the dress was made from a clingy black fabric and, so as not to distract from the garment, Queen B kept her blonde hair in a sleek, straight style.

Yet her striking look meant her failure to stand at Joaquin’s huge win did not go unnoticed.

Fans watching the broadcast were quick to take to Twitter to comment on how the Destiny’s Child legend stayed firmly in her seat while others around her, including Reese Witherspoon, got straight to their feet.

One simply posted: “I appreciate Beyoncé for not standing up for Joaquin’s win.”

Another put: “Beyoncé sitting during the standing ovation for Joaquin Phoenix’s win is the type of energy I want to see from everyone in 2020.”

A third continued: “Joaquin Phoenix won a Golden Globes for Best Actor Drama and got a standing ovation from everyone — except @Beyonce. It is customary for Queens to stay on their thrones.”

One bemused fan then quizzed: “People really on here praising Beyonce for being rude and not standing for Joaquin when literally everyone else was.”

It is unclear why Beyonce did not celebrate with Joaquin, but it may be because of the Joker movie’s highly controversial reputation.

Some suggested the comic book movie’s plotline, detailing Arthur Fleck’s transition from troubled individual to a murderer, was a little too close to the bone and representative of real life.

Critics of the flick suggested it could potentially spark disenchanted people to commit equally serious crimes.

After scooping his award, meanwhile, Joaquin said: “Hopefully, we can be unified & actually make some changes.

“It’s great to vote, but sometimes we have to take that responsibility on ourselves and make changes and sacrifices in our own lives … we don’t have to take private jets to Palm Springs for the awards.”

Meanwhile, Beyonce recently told Elle Magazine of her decision to take control of her opinions and actions, such as her failure to stand, and said: “I realised I had to take control of my work and my legacy because I wanted to be able to speak directly to my fans in an honest way.

“I wanted my words and my art to come directly from me. There were things in my career that I did because I didn’t understand that I could say no. We all have more power than we realize.”

IRAN has threatened to kill Brit soldiers in revenge attacks following the death of General Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike last week.

It comes as the UK’s former head of the navy Lord West of Spithead warned Britain was a “softer target” than the US for an Iranian retaliatory attack.

AP:Associated Press

Iraq Security Media Cell

Furious Iranians mourned Gen Soleimani, who was the second-most powerful man in Iran, yesterday.

Tehran said the numbers were the biggest since the death of Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989.

Gen Soleimani spearheaded Iranian military operations in the Middle East as head of the country’s elite Quds Force.

A senior commander in the Quds Force told The Times British soldiers could be “collateral damage”.

The commander, who was close to Soleimani, said: “Our forces will retaliate and target US troops in the Middle East without any concern about killing its allies, including UK troops, as this has turned into a fully fledged war with much collateral damage expected.

“We are very clear and have identified our targets and will fight with Americans.

“We request UK, the key US ally, and other western allies, including the NATO alliance, to not stand with this Trump regime, to avoid wider collateral damage in Iran’s response as it conducts foreign military operations against US after Soleimani’s assassination.”

‘SOFTER TARGET’

Meanwhile Lord West of Spithead, the UK’s former head of the Navy, raised fears Brit citizens and interests would be potentially easier for Iran to attack.

He told the Daily Telegraph: “Iran will assume that Britain would be party to any all-out attack by the US and if they do, then we would be a softer target and more likely to be attacked than the Americans.”

He said that any Iranian response would have to be calculated to avoid a full-blown war with the US and its allies.

Instead Iran will focus on revenge strikes, which could see government departments and Britain’s national infrastructure targeted by Tehran-based hackers.

Iran’s hackers are deemed by Britain’s intelligence services to be in the “Champions League” of cyber-warfare.

Retired army officer Sir Sir Simon Vincent Mayall said Brit troops serving in the Middle East could “possibly” be killed in retaliation attacks on US soldiers.

The lieutenant general told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme the allies were “joined at the hip” in Iraq and that casualties could be shared if Iran strikes back.

The Ministry of Defence adviser said: “I don’t think the British are any more vulnerable than the Americans in this case – we are joined at the hip in this.

“But the Iranians are quite right. Because we’re so closely joined in this, any attack on American assets will inevitably, possibly lead to to British casualties as well.”

BRINK OF WAR

Last night Boris Johnson said the UK will not lament the death of Gen Soleimani — but urged the world to step back from war.

The PM said the Iranian general was responsible for the slaughter of thousands of civilians and Western soldiers.

Mr Johnson’s call for “de-escalation from all sides” came as Iran pulled out of a 2015 nuclear deal that had limited its capacity to build a nuclear weapon.

Donald Trump has said the US is ready to strike 52 targets if Iran seeks revenge.

Mr Johnson arrived back from his Caribbean break yesterday and spoke to Mr Trump, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Angela Merkel.

Mr Johnson said the UK was in “close contact” with all sides to encourage de-escalation.

Meanwhile Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the US had the “right to exercise self-defence” with its drone strike on Soleimani’s convoy near Baghdad airport.

Mr Trump warned he would use US firepower to strike back against Iran “very fast and very hard”.

He tweeted: “The US just spent two trillion dollars on military equipment. We are the biggest and by far the best in the world.

“If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way… and without hesitation!”

KATIE Price’s son Junior declared “I’m on top of the world” while skiing in the Alps with dad Peter Andre after being banned from going on holiday with mum Katie Price.

The teen stood atop a mountain in his snowsuit, held out his arms and flung his head back as he basked in the crisp winter sun.

Instagram

Earlier in the trip Junior said he was “in heaven” as he woke up to a stunning view of the mountains.

The 14-year-old is skiing in the French Alps with his dad and can’t get enough of the picturesque scenery.

“It’s actual heaven,” Junior said as he reclined on the powdery white snow

“Nothing can get better than this dad,” his 12-year-old sister Princess agreed.

Instagram

Peter has taken his kids on a luxury ski holiday with wife Emily and their two youngest children Theo and Amelia.

Last week, we reported that Katie was banned from taking her kids away on holiday for New Year because their dads, Peter and Kieran Hayler, were worried about them returning late and missing school.

Katie has taken her son Harvey on holiday to Thailand to celebrate the New Year together.

The reality star wanted to take Bunny, Jett and Princess away to the Asian country, but friends claimed that their dads were worried they wouldn’t be back in time for the 2020 school term, which begins this week.

So she went ahead and took her oldest son Harvey, 17.

“New day, new start, new year, wait and see my comeback independent women side [sic],” she wrote on Instagram.

“Before it all begins I’ve come away with just me and my Harvey bear!”

A source said: “Katie is desperate for a holiday and has given herself the first two weeks off work to go away and get a tan.”

“But Kieran and Pete weren’t keen on her taking the kids away on a long haul holiday. Katie is always a bit disorganised when it comes to booking return flights, especially if she’s talked a friend into paying for them.

“I think the kids’ dad’s were worried they’d miss the first few days of term in January, which isn’t fair on them.

“It’s not like they’ve had a huge row, they’ve just asked Katie to consider going on holiday alone and leaving the children to prepare for their first day back.”

Last September, Bunny and Jett – who Katie shares with ex Kieran – missed their first day of the school year when Katie took them on a family holiday to Turkey.

The model also had a surgical consultation while she was out there – and had taken toyboy Charles Drury along on the holiday, behind boyfriend Kris Boyson’s back.

And the year before, Katie failed to attend Princess and Junior’s first days at their new school because she was partying in Spain.

Sources told The Sun that Peter was “devastated” she hadn’t been there as promised – although Katie later posted a screenshot “proving” she’d spoken to daughter Princess for one minute after school.

Katie added on Instagram: “I wish my 2 ex husbands would stop being pals and trying to both destroy me in every way and now using the children , it’s sad cruel and pathetic LEAVE ME ALONE”.

She was slammed by a judge for a “lack of respect” in March 2019 for missing a court date to party in Thailand.

And Katie also failed to attend court in October this year, with her lawyer claiming she was “due back into Gatwick at 9am” that day.

She was banned from driving for two years after the prosecutor urged court to carry on with the matter despite Katie’s absence, saying: “Her solicitors knew about this date and knew about her whereabouts and that she’s be returning to Gatwick this morning.

“Even if she came back at 9am, she could have made an appearance at this court today.”

Katie and Peter’s reps have been contacted for comment.

NEWCASTLE are eyeing a loan move for Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud, according to reports.

The World Cup-winning forward has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, with Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi preferred ahead of him.

Ex-Arsenal ace Giroud was an unused substitute as the Blues beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.

CHELSEA NEWS LIVE: Follow for all the latest on the Blues

And Steve Bruce has admitted that he is looking to bring in another forward to improve the Toon’s attacking options this winter.

According to the Telegraph, they want to take Giroud on loan, but Chelsea appear more keen to receive a fee to let Giroud leave permanently.

Steve Bruce said: “Yes. We’ve had a couple of knock-backs already so we’ll keep working away.

“It’s very difficult, especially at that end of the pitch, to get something that’s going to make you better.

“I won’t just be bringing in players for the sake of it, but we’ll see what the next two or three weeks bring.”

Blues boss Lampard talked about Giroud after the Blues brushed Forest aside in the Cup on Sunday.

Despite Michy Batshuayi failing to find the back of the net after three incredible chances, Giroud was still not given a run-out.

Lampard said: “My answer remains the same as it has done recently and I have spoken with him.

“If the conditions are that it’s something Oli really wants to do and it works for the club and it works for me and the squad, then it’s something that could happen.

“But only when all three of those bases are covered. So we’re still there.”

Chelsea are on the lookout for a striker themselves, with Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa tipped as a target.

RICKY Gervais joined Kate Beckinsale, Helen Mirren and other stars as they attended the Golden Globes afterparties on Sunday.

He was spotted chilling on blue velvet sofas looking slightly glum.

But it was a star-studded affair for the streaming service’s celebrations as Ricky was joined by the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock.

Jen was a figure of sophistication in a black strapless gown, complete with a voluminous train and cinched-in waist.

Award-winner and Fleabag writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge headed to the same party, dressed in a Chanel tweed two-piece suit.

Most people in Hollywood know that the biggest bash is normally HBO’s afterparty.

That was certainly the case for the Succession cast, who were celebrating two big wins at the awards show – Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series by Brain Cox and Best Television Series – Drama.

Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, showrunner Jesse Armstrong, Alan ruck and Sarah Snook looked in high spirits as they arrived at Circa 55 restaurant.

All men but Brian chose a black suit, with Culkin opting for a white bow tie instead of a black tie.

The Scottish actor instead looked powerful in a blue jacket with a black bow tie.

Sarah Snook matched the elegance in her flowing black ballgown.

The Succession stars weren’t the only ones dazzling at the party as Helen Mirren joined in a stunning crimson gown.

She was joined by her husband Taylor Hackford, who wore a trim dark blue suit.

Aquaman Jason Momoa towered over the over guests in his green, velvet jacket, as he partied alongside his wife Lisa Bonet.

CONOR MCGREGOR has brought in his former Crumlin boxing coach Phil Sutcliffe ahead of his fight with Donald Cerrone this month.

‘The Notorious’ is making his return to the Octagon on January 18th when he takes on ‘Cowboy’ at UFC 246.

McGregor has not fought in the UFC since he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018 and hasn’t won since beating Eddie Alvarez back in 2016.

And Irish Boxing.com report that he has freshened up his camp by bringing in legendary boxing coach Sutcliffe.

The two time Olympian trained McGregor in his youth and ‘The Notorious’ hails the 60-year-old for laying the foundations for his striking.

He previously said: “Phil Sutcliffe is a phenomenal boxing coach and my time under Phil in Crumlin Boxing Club, I learned so many fundamentals that I still carry with me today.

FRESHEN UP

“I learned so many shots off Phil and the coaching staff down there and the sparring with Phil Sutcliffe Jnr in my early days was phenomenal, it got me to that next level I feel.”

McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh believes that the 31-year-old is in the best shape he has seen after revealing they had their last heavy spar before the Cerrone fight.

He tweeted: “Jan 1st, last heavy spar today before going to Vegas. Can honestly say this is the best i’ve seen him and i wasn’t sure that was possible to do 6 months ago. You guys are in for a real treat, i’m just glad to have a good seat!”

However Khabib Nurmagomedov’s coach Ali Abdelaziz is not impressed with the shape McGregor is in ahead of his comeback fight after he showed off his body transformation in an Instagram post.

He said: “He looks like a blew-out balloon. He’s a bodybuilder. That’s what I think he looks like. He’s getting no love from us.”

JACQUELINE Jossa has embraced her natural beauty while taking to Instagram yesterday.

Last month, the former soap actress wowed viewers with her natural appearance in the I’m A Celeb jungle.

And now, Jacqueline has admitted she often spends her days without a scrap of make-up as she labelled herself a “plain Jane.”

Posing for the camera in a grey hoodie, the fresh-faced star looked directly into the lens.

She wrote: “OKAY… let’s be real for a sec yeah? I am Unwell the cold has finally hit me. I realised, I spent a month in front of you guys with 0 make up on and bites all over my face, crying like a baby.. but Atleast I was open and real with you guys.

While Extra Camp presenter Emily Atack commented: “I love that you have no idea how naturally beautiful you are!”

Last week, Jacqueline was forced to defend her decision to leave her two daughters with husband Dan Osborne as she flew to Australia for I’m A Celeb.

The actress, who won the show after spending three weeks Down Under, told fans she wanted to give her family “a better life”.

She wrote on Instagram: “Leaving my babies to go into the jungle was the HARDEST thing I have ever had to do, and every single day I thought about them, some may criticise me for leaving them, that’s okay.

“You won’t understand my reasons, but I want to create a better life for them I want to be able to be at home and work, have date nights and family nights.

“I went into the jungle for myself, an experience I will never forget. I learnt so much and have become and even better mummy for it.”

In December The Sun exclusively revealed the jungle queen had landed a six-figure deal with InTheStyle and will launch her own collection in 2020.

Jac also has some lucrative TV offers on the table, with This Morning and Loose Women interested.

AN INSTAGRAM model has raised over half a million dollars by offering nude selfies to her followers in return for donations to help the Australian bushfire crisis.

Kaylen Ward — also known as “The Naked Philanthropist” — raised the staggering amount (£265,000) in just two days after offering to send naked photos in exchange for donations to wildfire relief funds.

Ms Ward kicked off the unconventional fundraiser after scrolling through devastating images of the Australian bushfire crisis on her social media feed and feeling the fires weren’t getting enough international attention.

So she took matters into her own hands.

Posting to her 176,000 Twitter followers, The Los Angeles-based model shared list of nearly 20 Australian organisations involved in fire recovery and response efforts, including the NSW Rural Fire Service, Victorian Country Fire Service, Red Cross, Rotary and Salvation Army.

Ms Ward wrote: “I’m sending nudes to every person who donates at least $10 to any one of these fundraisers for the wildfires in Australia.”

“Every $10 you donate = one nude picture from me to your DM. You must send me confirmation that you donated.”

Twitter

She said she initially hoped to raise “a few thousand dollars”, and even chipped in $1000 herself.

Ms Ward, currently on holiday in the Caribbean, says the response was so overwhelming she has hired four staffers to help her sift through the thousands of direct messages, verify donations and respond with a steamy photo.

She said: “This sounds ridiculous but I’ve got people I’ve hired to help sort through the DMs. I’m also actually sending the pics I promised, one for each $10. Someone sent me $5000, so I’m sending 50 pics and videos.”

The unique Twitter campaign eventually spread to Ms Ward’s 50,000 Instagram followers, and on Saturday – despite having raised a significant sum that went directly to the Australian charities – Instagram deactivated her account, claiming she’d violated their guidelines about sexual content.

The 20-year-old shared a screenshot to Twitter that revealed her page had been disabled because she broke the rules by posting “sexually aggressive content.”

Ms Ward denies she broke any rules and vowed to keep the effort going.

Ms Ward revealed the Australian bushfire crisis hit close to home as she and her family were forced to evacuate when the Carr fires struck in California last year.

The massive fire – which burned more than 80,000 hectares and left eight people dead, including three firefighters – forced her family to evacuate from the area by boat.

It was later revealed their home was lost to the horrific blaze.

Ms Ward is one of many social media influencers who have kick-started their own online campaign to aid Australia’s recovery.

Australian comedian Celeste Barber’s viral Facebook fundraiser campaign has so far raised over $30,000,000 (£21.2M).

Hollywood A-listers have also gotten involved, as Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban pledge $500,000, as has Australia’s Kylie Minogue and American singer Pink.

To date, 26 people have tragically lost their lives due to the Australia fires raging across the country since September, as firefighters battle to contain the dangerous blazes.
