Disabled pupil left in burning school by fire service speaks out on ‘petrifying' ordeal
A disabled student who was left in his school when a fire broke out has spoken about his "petrifying' ordeal. Lucas Vezza-O'Brien, 16, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, was left alone in a classroom until firefighters arrived at his school in Hyde, Greater Manchester, in November 2024. Speaking about his ordeal on Good Morning Britain on Thursday (19 June), the teenager said: "I was petrified. I started to smell smoke and because of my disability, I was worried about my immune system. If I got smoke into my lungs, who knows what would happen?" Staff at the school said they followed Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service 's advice which is to 'leave wheelchair users' and allow emergency responders to come to their aid instead.

Personally I would like the V to be 2 inches higher but for someone younger it may not be an issue." The customer voiced their dilemma, noting: "Had a hard time selecting pattern and settled on the least loudest pink green tile. Wish it came in solid colours and I also hope for a long sleeve version." But another thrilled customer added: "I am in love! The jersey fabric is heavier but that's what I like about it because it doesn't feel cheap especially for the price. Love the pattern, style - pockets are a huge plus. I am 128 lbs, 5'4" and got the size 8, feel it's true to size."

Vanessa Feltz show guest apologises after remarks spark almost 2,000 complaints
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Vanessa Feltz's talk show has been hit with nearly 2,000 Ofcom complaints after a guest called a mother 'selfish' for wanting to breastfeed. Earlier this year, the 63-year-old announced she was leaving This Morning after 33 years. The broadcaster was a regular contributor to ITV, but now has her own show on Channel 5, which she has described as a 'politics-free zone'. However, after inviting fashion designer Karen Millen onto her sofa to speak, her programme has been hit by a wave of complaints from viewers. Vanessa reportedly asked Karen what she thought about breastfeeding a three-year-old child. Karen replied: 'There's no benefit, is there, for a child to be breastfed beyond six months really. I think it's quite a selfish thing on the mother's part.' She went on to say: 'I just think that's not good emotionally for that child. I mean, what does that child do later in life? 'The attachment – like you say it becomes an addiction and an addiction for that child too because they only know the boob. It's just not normal, is it? I'm sorry, I find it very weird.' Following the episode, 1,856 complaints were made to Ofcom, as some viewers also took to social media. Good Morning Britain – March 8, 2021: A discussion about the interview between Oprah Winfrey and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex received a whopping 54,595 complaints. Celebrity Big Brother – January 10, 2007: This episode, which focused on the alleged bullying of Shilpa Shetty by fellow housemates, received 45,159 complaints. Celebrity Big Brother – August 30, 31, and September 1, 2018: A huge 25,327 complaints were made following Roxanne Pallett's allegation of assault by Ryan Thomas. Britain's Got Talent – September 5, 2020: Diversity's performance generated 25,017 complaints after viewers perceived it as supporting Black Lives Matter. Love Island – August 6, 2021: In total 24,921 complaints were made focusing on Faye's behaviour towards Teddy. Julia Hartley-Brewer interview – January 3, 2024: Julia's interview with Palestinian politician Dr. Mustafa Barghouti received 17,366 complaints according to Ofcom. @richardbuka wrote on X: 'My god, Karen Millen is a moron. How do we live in a society where it is considered unnatural to breastfeed but ok to reconstitute freeze-dried whey protein from an animal that diverged in evolution from us 100 million years ago and shove that into a baby every four hours?' @keyboardgirl8 added: 'I thought Karen Millen dresses faded away in the 2000s. Glad I haven't purchased anything from them in a long time, what an ignorant woman.' @tichenekr also commented: 'Can safely say I'll never buy from Karen Millen again. Disgraceful.' Since her appearance on Vanessa's show, Karen has apologised, saying: 'I know I've upset a lot of your viewers and that was not my intention'. In a clip, she can be heard explaining: 'The question was aimed at a three-year-old being breastfed and my thoughts on that and my answers reflected that, not the subject of breastfeeding. 'I have three children and I breastfed all three of them up to six or seven months… 'I think my issue was more on the fact as a baby breast milk is the best and beyond being a baby, growing into toddler, I just found it more difficult to comes to terms with how it would benefit a three-year-old.. 'And as a woman to women, I do respect your choices and I do want to support you…' This comes after Vanessa was criticised for comments she made about people with coeliac disease in 2023, with her remarks being blasted as 'irresponsible' by viewers. A caller named Alison claimed she was 'being forced to have a gluten-free Christmas' because her mother-in-law insisted the meal be void of gluten to cater to one person, who has to have a gluten-free diet. Responding, Vanessa said: 'She's treating coeliac disease as if it's a kind of fatal, potentially fatal peanut allergy and that they can't have anything with gluten in the house, which is completely unreasonable.' More Trending Following the segment, the charity Coeliac UK released a statement lambasting what was said, and also posted an open letter that the organisation addressed to ITV. The tweet read: 'Today on ITV's @thismorning, coeliac disease was discussed during a phone in segment on the show. We are deeply concerned about the content and advice given to a caller attending a Christmas family event where all of the food will be gluten free to protect the health of a person with coeliac disease.' Metro has approached Karen Millen and Channel 5 for comment. View More » Vanessa is available to watch on Channel 5. Got a story?

Susanna Reid's ‘feminine and comfortable' green GMB dress is slashed by £100
Susanna Reid wowed on Good Morning Britain this week with her figure-hugging green midi dress that shoppers say is 'feminine and comfortable' – and it's now got £100 off Each week Good Morning Britain viewers tune in for an update on the latest news and events, but there's another reason so many of us love watching – Susanna Reid 's wardrobe. The presenter is known for her constant stream of flattering and sophisticated outfits, and one of her latest looks is no exception. On Tuesday's episode, Susanna opted for Whistles' figure-hugging Green Brushwork Print Mesh Dress that fans went wild for. On Instagram Susanna's post was flooded with comments like 'sooo beautiful!! love the colour' and 'Loving the green dress,' cementing it as one of the host's best looks to date. If you were also eyeing up Susanna's dress and hoping to get your hands on it, we've got good news; it's currently on sale with a huge £100 off. Originally priced at £159, it's now available for £59, and – even more surprisingly – it's still in stock in all sizes from a four to a 20. The temperatures might be soaring right now, but Susanna's Green Brushwork Print Mesh Dress is still a great choice for the summer despite its long sleeves and midi-length hemline. It's made from a lightweight stretchy mesh material which keeps it breathable and comfortable in the heat, whilst the fully lined body makes sure you're covered enough to be able to wear it anywhere from the office to a wedding. Ruched details at the waist help accentuate your figure and create the illusion of curves, whilst the bodycon fit lets you show off your shape. We also love the abstract print and bold green colour, both of which make it perfect for the summer season. If you're worried about how warm you'll be, we also love this Green Cotton Speckled Print Midi Dress which you can pick up for £28 from Roman. It has a sleeveless design and figure-hugging fit, with a simple green and white flecked pattern all over it. For something more minimalist, Principles' Green Ruched Waist Soft Touch Jersey Midi Dress is perfect. It's currently on sale at Debenhams, down from £39 to £23.40, and has subtle cap sleeves for a little extra upper arm coverage and similar ruched details on the waist to flatter your figure. However Susanna's Whistles Mesh Midi Dress is clearly a big hit with fans, not to mention Whistles shoppers. There are currently only two reviews available, but they're both positive with one saying: 'This true to size eye catching dress is perfect for a lunch date or a wedding reception. Very feminine and comfortable to wear. I had lots of compliments when I wore this elegant dress.' The other agrees: 'I really love the colour of the dress. The green is not too pale so it was a good contrast to my skin tone. I was a little concerned about the high neck line but it made my chest area look good. It was not too tight fitting so easy to walk in and it was very comfortable to wear.'

ITV star dies aged 76 as BBC Doctor Who's Russell T Davies leads tributes
ITV presenter and weather reporter Wincey Willis has died at the age of 76 after being diagnosed with dementia. She was a weather presenter on the ITV programme Good Morning Britain, where she made history as the UK's first national female weather forecaster. Doctor Who screenwriter Russell T Davies has shared a touching tribute to the ITV alum, reflecting on an encounter with Wincey. Read more: UK heatwave will see 26 counties in England above 30C this weekend Russell even used her name in an episode of his 90s drama series Queer as Folk. Taking to social media, he wrote: "She hunted me down. She got hold of my email address just to tell me how delighted she was to be mentioned! She was absolutely hilarious and full of joy, what a lovely woman. "We corresponded for years, having a wonderful laugh, she was a hoot. What a great career! Adored her. Well done, Wincey, night darling." Wincey died back in December 2024, though news of her passing has only just been made public. Before joining GMB, Wincey was scouted for the role by ITV's deputy editor in chief, Clive Jones, while she was a presenter for ITV in the Tyne Tees region. She originally got into television when she was invited to audition for the position of weather presenter for Tyne Tees regional TV. A year later, she was awarded her own series on Granada titled Wincey's Pets. She also featured on the game show Treasure Hunt alongside Anneka Rice, though a contract dispute led Wincey to resign from TV-am in 1987. Later in life, she hosted radio shows for BBC Coventry & Warwickshire and for BBC Hereford & Worcester. She married bed salesman Malcolm Willis in 1972 and continued to use his surname after they divorced. Wincey returned to the North East to live in Sunderland after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2015.
