Daisy Lowe is married! Model ties the knot with long-term partner Jordan Saul in low-key ceremony
Daisy Lowe has married her partner of five years Jordan Saul in a low-key ceremony in London on Thursday. The 36-year-old model and daughter of Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale and the property developer, 31, said 'I do' surrounded by their closest family and friends. After the ceremony, they headed to East London's cult Italian restaurant Brutto to celebrate over bowls of pasta and tiramisu. Photos shared by Daisy's half-sister, Betty Goffey, 18, showed the intimate dinner party unfolding on a candlelit table outside the trattoria. One shot shows Daisy in a simple white off-the-shoulder gown, hair half up, which Betty captioned simply: 'Da bride'. Another snap, shared by mum Pearl Lowe earlier that morning, showed the family posing for a picture on a quiet residential street just before the nuptials. Joining the happy couple were Daisy's musician mum Pearl, her stepfather Danny Goffey, her half-siblings Betty, Alfie and Frankie, and her godmother, musician Zoe Grace. Jordan's parents and close family were also in attendance. Notably absent was Daisy's biological father, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, whom she discovered was her real dad as a teenager after a paternity test. But there's no bad blood. The pair are on good terms and he is expected to attend a much larger wedding celebration in Somerset later this summer. Ex-Strictly star Daisy and Jordan met during lockdown in 2020 while they were both walking their respective dogs. The couple now share a two-year-old daughter, Ivy. While the Thursday ceremony was a private affair, Daisy has big plans for their summer wedding. The family will officially celebrate again in Somerset, where Pearl and Danny have lived since relocating from Camden in 2005, and where Daisy and Jordan are now putting down roots. Daisy said: 'I'm moving to, and marrying in Somerset. That's how much I love it.' Daisy said she is currently deep in planning for a sustainable yet glamorous countryside wedding. Ivy will be a flower girl, and Daisy plans to coordinate her look with her daughter and bridesmaids. Jordan, whom Daisy lovingly describes as her 'soulmate,' is in charge of logistics, while she handles the creative touches. 'I'm really lucky I have my mum to talk to about styling. She's got such brilliant taste,' Daisy said. 'I don't feel actual pressure, but it is an exciting idea that it could be better than my 18th, which was one of the best parties ever.' That's no small feat: in 2007, her parents threw her a birthday bash complete with a gig by Dirty Pretty Things, bussing guests out to the countryside. Her 21st, held at Babington House, saw Daisy in full Ice Queen regalia with Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof on the guest list. Daisy and Jordan will soon rent a small eco-home in Somerset while they search for the right patch of land to build their dream house - complete with wormeries, reusable water systems and a heat pump. 'We don't want to just build it without any footing,' Daisy said. 'Community is really important. I love old houses, but Jordan said, 'if you really care about the environment, you should build a home,' and I was easily swayed.' Despite juggling a toddler, wedding prep and a house move, Daisy seems more grounded than ever. 'We've always done everything backwards - having a baby, getting married - but that was always my dream,' she said. 'I wanted to be really mindful of Ivy having a secure attachment.' In her twenties, Daisy dated a string of famous faces including Mark Ronson, actor Matt Smith and Hurts frontman Theo Hutchcraft.

Customers were quick to praise the fence screen in the reviews with many sharing images of it in their gardens. 3 Those who bought the product were impressed with the quality and durability Credit: B&Q I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30 Many praised just how expensive it looked, while others said it was sturdy enough to last through any season. One person wrote: "I put this on my garden fence for privacy. My son said he thought it would look tacky but actually it looks really good and makes a big difference to the whole garden and very easy to attach using cables."

The plastic looks sturdy enough and hopefully it will last. "Bought these for my mum's back garden fence. They are fantastic. Really great service from the company too," penned a third. How to create privacy in your garden CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden: 1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy. 2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier. 3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution. 4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I have bought 2 of these trellises to cover my garden drive gate & fence for privacy. The quality is fantastic and fits my fences perfectly & so cheap considering the amount you get on the roll. Definitely would buy again." Someone else added: 'I purchased 2 of these rolls to extend the height of a wall. The units have an interlocking system that makes joining the two together a breeze. "Some of these artificial plants can look pretty poor, even though they do the job of screening. This is not the case with this product as it looks good close up and great at a distance."

Let this adult star take you through nooks and crannies of new online safety law
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It's long, it's hard, and now one of the UK's most popular adult film stars has spent 26 minutes tackling it in a hotel room. We're talking, of course, about the Online Safety Act. The law, passed under the Tories two years ago, will soon dramatically change the way randy Brits access porn online. And Ivy Maddox is so keen for the public to pay attention to the ins and outs of the legislation, she spent almost half an hour reading every word of a government explainer out loud for a new video. Titled 'Coming Soon…', the short film is described as Ivy's most 'explicit' yet. It features the actress in a skimpy lace bodysuit, sitting on the edge of a hotel bed beside a hardback copy of the Act. Craig Munro breaks down Westminster chaos into easy to follow insight, walking you through what the latest policies mean to you. Sign up here. She warns viewers that the safe-for-work film they're about to watch will 'include some very big legal obligations', and asks them: 'Are you ready for full compliance?' It's quite a lot to get your chops around, but the meat of the matter is this: from July 25, all websites, apps and other online services hosting online material will need to have age checks in place. That will mean you may need to provide your email address, credit card details, or even a picture of your face to get access to your favourite porn site. If the owners fail to comply with the law, Ofcom can impose fines of up to £18 million or 10% of their qualifying worldwide revenue. Last month, Ofcom said 'most of the largest services' that produce their own porn content have already 'confirmed that they are implementing or have plans to implement age assurance imminently'. But Ivy thought it was important to get the word out there regardless. She told Metro: 'As someone who interacted with hardcore porn by accident when I was in school, I wouldn't want children to view my content – the same way I didn't want to when I was their age. More Trending 'I also thought age verification was an important topic to raise awareness of, as I know that, for the adult and sex worker industry, privacy and compliance are key.' The video was produced in partnership with age check provider Verifymy, which uses services such as email-based age estimation to tell businesses how old their users are. Ivy added: 'It's not my everyday content, but I'm always up for a challenge.' The full film is available to watch online at this link. Don't worry – you won't need to open Incognito mode.

Teacher trolled after revealing her top 3 presents she'd like to be gifted now that summer holidays are looming
AS the summer holidays draw near, many parents find themselves wondering whether they should get their child's teacher a gift - and, if so, what to choose. While showing appreciation is always a lovely gesture, picking the perfect present can sometimes feel tricky. 2 2 Teacher Ivy, known on TikTok as ' toothfairylikeme ', has shared her top three favourite gift ideas to help parents navigate this decision. In her video, Ivy revealed the presents she'd love to receive, sparking an online debate about gift-giving for teachers. The caption of the video read: 'With the summer holidays looming, lots of families are thinking of buying a present for their kids' teacher. "Here's my guide on some things they would ACTUALLY like.' With over a decade of experience as a supply teacher in primary schools, Ivy reflected on the thoughtful gifts she's received over the years and admitted she misses them now that she's not regularly in one classroom. Her top picks include practical ideas: a notebook (ideal for jotting down endless notes and replacing lost scraps of paper), a sturdy tote or fold-away bag (perfect for carrying books and supplies home), and her ultimate favourite - a heartfelt handwritten note. While many viewers praised Ivy's suggestions for being both inexpensive and practical, others criticised the idea of teachers openly sharing what they'd like to receive. The video sparked a lively discussion, with some arguing that appreciation doesn't need to come in the form of gifts, while others defended Ivy's honesty and straightforward advice. Her video gained 28.6k views and 46 comments after two days of being shared. One wrote: 'It needs to be stopped.' I'm a teacher & there are four end of term gifts I can't STAND receiving To which another added: 'It only takes one parent to start it then the others try and outdo each other, I have never started it and never will.' A second added: 'Teaching must be the only profession where you are expected to give them a present just because the year ended. 'And the supermarkets force it into our faces.' While a third said: 'Never give presents to any teachers you get paid for doing your job.' And Ivy replied: 'Absolutely, and that is your prerogative. 'But if others choose to recognise the devotion that it takes to literally educate the next generation of doctors, engineers, bus drivers, etc. they should be allowed to do so without judgement.' Should you buy a teacher a gift? IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child's teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further... As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two Sarah Bull weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids' teachers a present to mark the end of term. Sarah said: "It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school. "But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids' teachers too. "With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business. "And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation. "After all - I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day - so don't they deserve a token of appreciation? "I also wouldn't want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers. "While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I'll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I'll be buying for. "And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget."

2025 PFL World Tournament 5 video: Magomed Umalatov faceplants Anthony Ivy
2025 PFL World Tournament 5 video: Magomed Umalatov faceplants Anthony Ivy Magomed Umalatov reminded everyone why he's considered by many to be one of PFL's pound-for-pound best. Although 2024 was a disappointing campaign for Umalatov (18-5), who was knocked out by Smail Musaev in the tournament final, 2025 is off to a hot start. Thursday at 2025 PFL World Tournament 5 in Nashville, Tenn., Umalatov flattened former UFC fighter Anthony Ivy (15-8) at 2:28 of Round 1. The finishing sequence began when Ivy hopped toward Umalatov, who clipped him with a counter left. Somewhat stunned and out of position, Ivy faceplanted when a second Umalatov left hand cracked him. Umalatov is not in the 2025 welterweight tournament. However, the promotion could always insert him as an alternate replacement should they need him. Ivy, who had compiled seven straight wins in an improbable career turnaround, loses for the first time since August 2022. Up-to-the-minute 2025 PFL 5 results include:
