Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A specialist in palliative care, Kathryn Mannix, has offered a powerful perspective on death, providing insights into what may be a prominent sign that someone is nearing their final moments. Dr Mannix, who merges her expertise as a clinician and author with her advocacy work for Hospice UK, promotes an open conversation about dying, calling it 'a natural process'. Dr Kathryn, a key figure in Hospice UK's Dying Matters campaign and contributor to the eye-opening BBC piece 'Dying is not as bad as you think', advocates candid discussions about mortality across different platforms. During such conversations, she often points to particular signs indicating when a patient may be approaching the end of their life. Urging for a rediscovery of 'the wisdom' in discussing the last phases of life, Dr Kathryn aims to break down the stigmas surrounding death.

Hospice UK has released a video with Dr Kathryn which sheds light on a key indicator of impending death, reports the Mirror. Dr Kathryn has shared her view that 'dying is probably not as bad as you're expecting', offering reassurance and guidance regarding the dying process. She details this in the Hospice UK video, explaining: "As time goes by people sleep more, and they're awake less. "Instead of just being asleep, this person has temporarily become unconscious, we can't wake them up." Dr. Kathryn described the moment of passing as follows: "At the very end of somebody's life, there will be a period of shallow breathing and then one out breath that just isn't followed by another in breath." She explained that this marks the transition from consciousness to a comatose state, rather than simply sleep. The physician also addressed the 'death rattle', a phenomenon that often precedes the final breath. She clarified that this sound is an indicator of profound tranquillity as the individual approaches death. Dr. Kathryn stressed that the 'death rattle' should not be viewed negatively, but rather as a serene aspect of the dying process. She explained that the rattling noise occurs when the person becomes completely unconscious and peaceful, as they continue to breathe but lose the ability to clear their throat. According to Dr. Kathryn, the accumulation of mucus and saliva in the back of the throat causes the characteristic rattling noise as the individual breathes. She described the final breath as potentially 'so gentle' that loved ones present may not immediately realise the person has passed away. Dr. Kathryn highlighted the importance of understanding and appreciating this natural part of life, as well as comforting one another in times of bereavement. Dr Kathryn voiced her desire for society to recognise and accept the inherent process of dying – a common characteristic shared amongst all humanity.

ITV Good Morning Britain segment pulled off air as Ranvir Singh forced to stop sweary report
ITV GMB's Ranvir Singh had to step in and cut the report. ITV Good Morning Britain had to cut one of its live reports today after explicit language could be heard in the background. During Ranvir Singh's news segment she was joined by the North America correspondent Noel Phillips, who was discussing the national guard troops in LA for the ICE protests. However in the background of the reports, the protestors in LA were heard using a number of explicit words as Donald Trump sends another 2,000 National Guards and 700 Marines to LA on the fourth day of unrest, writes The Mirror. As the report rolled, it was quickly cut as Ranvir stepped in saying: "I'm just going to interrupt that - I think we could hear some profanities being spoken. That's my understanding of what's going on there near Noel and we can't really broadcast that at quarter past eight in the morning. We're going to try to get back to him." Fans took to social media to talk about the on air mishap, one fan penned: "Who would think it be a good idea to be in the middle of the protesters that are angry…" The moment comes after Noel opened up about being shot with a rubber bullet while covering the chaos live from Los Angeles on Monday, leading to his need for medical treatment. Susanna asked Noel about the incident, she said: "You found yourself in the line of fire yesterday, didn't you? Just before your report at eight o'clock. "We had no idea at the time. We've seen a number of reporters, in fact you reported on one yesterday morning of a photographer who had been hit, what happened to you?" Speaking about the incident, Noel said: "Susanna and Richard, just 10 minutes before coming on air yesterday, I was on the floor talking to several protesters. I was on the floor because it was the best place to be, given the fact that the situation around us was so volatile, officers were obviously chasing protestors on the streets." He further described the moment of impact, saying: "As I was laying on the floor, I felt as though an enormous ton of bricks had fallen on my arm. I realised, within about 20 to 30 seconds, that a rubber bullet had grazed the top layer of my skin and had caused a bit of injury. "My arm was swollen, I went to the doctors, got it checked out, it wasn't broken at all. But, it was swollen, it still is swollen and it's in a bandage at the moment. "It's pretty surreal to be hit, but relieved as it could have been worse. These rubber bullets are less lethal than a bullet but they can kill you or seriously injury you."

Peppa Pig announces gender of Mummy Pig's new baby in epic reveal
Peppa Pig fans are in for some exciting news today as the gender of Mummy Pig's new baby will 'swineally' be revealed to the world. The smash hit UK cartoon caused a stir across the globe earlier this year when it was announced that the fictional pig family were expecting a new addition to their brood. There was a huge fanfare and even an interview with Peppa and Mummy Pig on ITV Good Morning Britain back in February to let fans know the happy update from the world of Peppa Pig. Though some viewers were left rather disgruntled by the light-hearted stunt, with some branding it a "joke" and threatening to switch off. One such unhappy viewer said: "Turning off... this programme is becoming a joke," while another questioned the necessity of such an unusual moment: "Wtf is the point of this cringeworthy Peppa Pig interview?". Confusion spread as one fan then questioned: "Am I tripping? Why are they interviewing Peppa Pig?" while another labelled the content as sheer madness: "This segment is bonkers." But as the sun sets on this Friday, a huge spectacle in London will herald the latest baby news from 'Peppatown' as Battersea Power Station chimneys will light up in celebration of the gender reveal. And the colour? It'll be pink! as the "It's A Girl!" moment kicks off following a night of colour-changing lights between pink and blue to build anticipation. The event kicked off at 2pm today, at the world's first ever-permanent Peppa Pig store, which is situated inside the famous power station. It'll feature baby-themed fun, character appearances, cupcakes, and fundraising in support of National Children's Trust (NCT) the UK's leading charity for pregnancy and parents. There will also be a donation point at the till for Battersea store, where consumers can donate to the great cause, with more exciting activities for NCT coming soon to the Peppa store. Everyone is invited to come down and watch the exciting reveal, alongside join the gender reveal party earlier in the day, but if a quick trip to the capital is out of the cards as a last minute plan on a Friday afternoon, then fear not, there are lots of 'pig' things awaiting fans. Peppa Pig kicks off a whole new era with the arrival of the new member of the clan, including Peppa Meets the Baby, a brand-new cinema experience launching on May 30 in over 2,600 cinemas across 19 countries. This hour-long, song-filled screening features 10 brand-new episodes, as Peppa and George prepare for the arrival of their baby sister. In addition, the gender reveal episode will air on YouTube on May 3 as part of the Peppa Pig Tales series. It's the beginning of a brand-new chapter for Peppa – and the biggest shake-up in the show's 20-year history .

Coronation Street star Mason swaps cobbles for 'normal job' after dramatic axe
Coronation Street's Luca Toola, who played troubled Mason Radcliffe, has announced he is swapping the drama of a cobbles for a new job off-screen after his character was dramatically killed off just weeks ago. Mason's journey on the soap came to a tragic end when ITV writers decided to axe the character. The 21-year-old met his demise after a fatal stabbing in a jaw-dropping episode, leaving no doors open for a return. After a year and a half on Coronation Street, Luca shared to his social media followers that he's taken up teaching. Eager to share his craft, Luca will be engaging with upcoming talents through acting classes. READ MORE: ITV Good Morning Britain and This Morning star axed from role - 'it's been an honour' READ MORE: EastEnders fans only just realising Jacqueline Jossa is related to soap co-star in real life In an engaging clip, Luca announced: "I am keeping myself busy as best as possible and I am running some acting classes." Grateful for this new opportunity, he added: "I am teaching at Bee Rogue Talent so thank you to those guys." Luca outlined what aspiring actors can expect: "It is going to be great and we are going to do a lot of script analysis, improvisation, character development and learning and teaching the craft of acting." His enthusiasm was palpable as he continued: "I am super excited." Fans rushed to the comment section to praise the star, with one writing: "@lucatoolan congratulations hunnie you gonna smash this out the park." An announcement by Bee Rogue talent stated: "Excited to announce we will be having Luca Toolan down to teach at our brand new classes. We can't wait to start this next exciting venture." However, it seems this teaching stint might not be Luca's final act, as he hints at more screen time to come. With broadcasting in his blood—his father being radio icon Mike Toolan—Luca has teased his involvement in a forthcoming comedy series. A new show titled 'Grass Roots' is about to bring a father-son duo to the stage in Preston, with 'Loose Women' star Sheree Murphy set to lead the cast as she returns to the limelight after a seven-year hiatus. Joining her in this pilot are familiar faces including Kim Tiddy of 'The Bill' and 'Hollyoaks' fame, and Zak Douglas, known for 'G'Wed' and Good Ship Murder. Over in Weatherfield, Mason Radcliffe, played by Luca Toolan, met a tragic end on 'Coronation Street' when his brothers, Matty and Logan, viciously stabbed him with Dylan Wilson's knife in the play park. Luca took to Instagram to voice his gratitude and bid adieu, sharing: "Thank you. What an honour and privilege it's been to be a part of this show, and to be trusted with this story. Truly. I've met some of the most incredible friends I'll cherish for life that have been beyond supportive and loving. "I'm at a loss for words to quantify what they mean and what this experience has meant to me. Through the highs and the lows Liam, Charlie and Karen been there since day one. "I owe them all so much. To the incredible army that makes this show and to the all the supporters of it thank you for making a lads dream come true. Thanks God always You've supported me through all. @charliespromisecharity."

Good Morning Britain's Charlotte Hawkins halts ITV broadcast to announce 'breaking' news
Good Morning Britain star Charlotte Hawkins halted Friday's (March 7) broadcast to announce some "breaking" news. The presenter revealed that French police have closed train traffic to and from Gare du Nord station in Paris after an unexploded World War II bomb was found on the tracks. "Some breaking news, Eurostar services and all other trains have been halted this morning at Gare du Nord, France's busiest station as police work to disable an unexploded World War II bomb," Charlotte began. "It was found in the middle in the tracks in the area of Saint-Denis, a suburb of Paris, during overnight works on the tracks. Four trains from London St Pancras station have been cancelled so far, as have the first six departing Paris for London. Eurostar are advising passengers to change their journey for a different date of travel." READ MORE: ITV Good Morning Britain viewers left fuming as they issue complaint minutes into show READ MORE: GMB host Susanna Reid corrected by music legend as he says 'that's not quite true' Charlotte then handed over to travel expert Simon Calder, who weighed in on the latest news. "It's really difficult. We haven't got any trains leaving London... The first departure from Paris won't be until this afternoon, if that goes. Clearly they're trying to work and clear this as soon as possible," he explained. "The problem is that services are extremely heavily booked on Fridays, it is the busiest day of the week for Eurostar, which shuffles tens of thousands of passengers everyday through the Channel Tunnel, to and from London St Pancras International. If this was actually a flight issue then people would be able to rebook an alternative airline." Simon concluded: "Unfortunately it doesn't work in the opposite direction, so really sadly all those people who have romantic weekends booked in Paris, they may well have to be looking at completely different plans, cancelling hotels and seeing if their travel insurance can help." The bomb was found overnight as work was being carried out in Saint-Denis, a small commune in the northern suburbs of Paris. The discovery has since sparked major travel problems in France. After suspending services between London and Paris, Eurostar confirmed that they were "expecting disruption" and urged commuters to arrange different travel plans. "Due to an object on the tracks near Paris Gare du Nord, we are expecting disruption to our services this morning. Please change your journey for a different date of travel," the statement read. France's national train operator SNCF said that services at Gard du Nord would be suspended until mid-morning at the request of the polices. Eurostar services to and from Brussels appear to be unaffected. Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX at 6am
