Suranne Jones looks VERY different with scruffy blonde bob as she transforms for new ITV heist drama Frauds with Jodie Whittaker
Suranne Jones looks very different with a scruffy blonde bob as her character in upcoming ITV heist drama Frauds. The new six-part show, created by Suranne and Annie-Marie O'Connor, is set to hit our screens later this year. Now a sneak peek of the actress as her alter-ego Bert in the drama, and her co-star Jodie Whittaker, has been shared. Suranne, who usually rocks dark hair, can be seen sitting in the passenger seat of a red car with much lighter locks. Meanwhile Jodie, who plays Sam in the programme, looks concerned gazing over at her from the driver's seat. ITV's official press release alongside the images says: 'As Sam has sought a low-key life, Bert's release from a Spanish prison for compassionate reasons reignites her ambition for one final, significant score. 'On the pretext of one final, multi-million-pound art heist, Bert attempts to lure Sam out of retirement, but at what cost? 'Can Sam stay one step ahead of her former friend, who is clearly capable of treachery? 'Or will the push and pull of their toxic friendship see them both ruined before they are able to pull off the job?' Suranne and Jodie are joined by Horacio Colomé, Talisa Garcia, Abdul Salis, Karan Gill, Elizabeth Berrington, Lee Boardman and Christian Cooke on the show. The likes of Thais Martin, Kate Fleetwood, Javier Taboada and Nansi Nsue are part of the star-studded cast too. Frauds will follow Bert fulfil her 'one final job' after spending 10 years in a Spanish prison. ITV announced that Frauds had been commissioned in January 2025. Suranne said at the time: 'Working on Frauds with Anne-Marie and Monumental for the last 2 years has been a wild ride. 'We took the idea of toxic female friendship and turned it on its head to give the heist genre an emotional heartbeat. 'I have always wanted to work with Jodie, and now I am. 'I hope you love Bert and Sam and all they get up to as much as we do.' Senior Drama Commissioning Editor at ITV, Helen Ziegler, said: 'We are delighted to be working with Suranne, Anne Marie and the brilliant team at Monumental on their unique take on a heist show. 'At its heart this is a story of a complex, surprising friendship, which asks if Sam and Bert can pull together for one last job, or whether the past will derail them. 'Suranne and Jodie are two incredible actors and it'll be thrilling to see what they bring to the central characters.' Frauds was written by Anne-Marie O'Connor, while Giulia Gandini directed the drama. The executive producers include Anne-Marie, Suranne, Debra Hayward, Alison Carpenter and Jill Forbes. The producer is Pat Tookey-Dickson and the company used was Monumental Television. It comes after Netflix released its first trailer for the-hotly anticipated political thriller Hostage starring Suranne Jones - and fans are already saying the same thing. The high-stakes drama is anchored by a powerful performance from English actress Suranne. The 46-year-old Vigil star not only plays the UK Prime Minister, but she also held a vital role as executive producer, marking her first project with Netflix.

Chloe Ayling's undiagnosed condition that ‘explains so much' revealed 8 years after she was kidnapped & put in suitcase
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHLOE Ayling's undiagnosed condition has been revealed eight years after she was kidnapped and put in a suitcase. A new BBC documentary that aired last night has shed light on the horrific episode as the British model says people still don't believe her story. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Chloe revealed in her documentary that she still battles with doubters who claim that she faked her kidnapping Credit: Social Media Refer to Source 9 Trolls claimed she lacked emotion after she delivered a statement after the shocking ordeal Credit: BBC 9 Chloe Ayling was held hostage by Lukasz Herba in a house in Italy When the model was 21, she was drugged and kidnapped after travelling to Milan, Italy, for a photoshoot. Chloe Ayling has been accused by trolls online of staging her own kidnapping, in a horror which she says "never ends". The outlandish events she described in addition to her unemotional retelling of the story sparked questions on whether it was all a publicity stunt. Her heartbreaking documentary - entitled My Unbelievable Kidnapping - poses an interesting new theory. It takes viewers through the terrifying mission to save the model from Herba's clutches, as well as her appearance on Big Brother just a year after being kidnapped. Towards the end of the documentary, she receives a formal diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder which she said explained so much - not just about her reactions during her ordeal but about her life before and since. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects how people communicate, interact with others, and behave. "I had a lot of difficulties with communication,' she explains in the documentary, while poring over childhood pictures. "I'd react in the wrong way. If I was being told off I would smile. I just had the wrong reactions to things. "My mum would come with me on school trips because I wouldn't be able to say what I wanted or express how I was feeling. "For ages I just said I'm not an emotional person, but now I realise that no matter now hard I try, I just can't express emotion." Chilling moment glamour model Chloe Ayling was kidnapped is recreated in first look at show on Big Brother star's ordeal Trolls claimed she lacked emotion after she delivered a statement from her mother's house. She emerged from the house with a smile and dressed in a revealing vest top and tiny pair of shorts that seemed at odds with the seriousness of the situation. Chloe, now 28, has spent years fighting to convince others about what happened. Upon arriving at the "studio" on that day in 2017, she was driven to a remote warehouse in Truin by Lukasz Herba. 9 She was held in a village in Turin Credit: Ray Collins - The Sun 9 Police reconstructed the kidnapping as part of their investigation Credit: Enterprise News and Pictures Herba was a 30-year-old computer programmer from Oldbury, West Midlands, who held Chloe hostage for a week. He was eventually arrested and jailed for his crime. Despite Herba being jailed, the model revealed that she still faces backlash online for speaking out about his crime. The documentary follows Chloe's recovery from the incident, as well as how she dealt with the scrutiny over a photograph of her shown holding her kidnapper's hand in an Italian village. Speaking about how she remained so calm in CCTV footage, Chloe said: "I had to get him on side to be able to get out. "I want to show a victim doesn't have to fit into a typical box to be believed." A TV series dramatising the event was released on the BBC last year, entitled Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story. It depicts how she was held in the farm house for six days, while her kidnapper demanded €300,000 (£265,000) in ransom money. Herba and his brother Michael were eventually arrested though and handed 16-year prison sentences. 9 Chloe was a successful model before the kidnapping Credit: chloeayling97/Instagram 9 Chloe appeared on Big Brother a year after the kidknapping Credit: Rex Features 9 She says the fallout from the kidnapping 'never ends' Credit: Refer to Caption

Calvin Harris fans call for a 'disclaimer' over DJ's VERY graphic placenta snap in son's birth announcement - before pointing out a hidden detail
's fans have called for a 'disclaimer' after the DJ shared a very graphic picture of wife Vick Hope's placenta in their son's birth announcement on Instagram - with some saying they needed a 'trigger warning'. The British DJ welcomed his first child with his wife, BBC Radio 1 host Vick Hope, 35, on July 20 and the couple announced the arrival of their firstbon, son Micah, on Instagram on Monday. In a gushing tribute to his 'superhero' wife, the doting new father shared a carousel of snaps of Vick in a birthing pool and a picture of himself holding his newborn son. Alongside the series of photos, Calvin wrote: '20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.' While fans rushed to the comments section to congratulate the pair, two snaps caught people off guard - including a graphic photograph of Vick's placenta and an image of it chopped up to be dried. Some suggested the DJ should have included a 'disclaimer' in the caption about the organ snap, with one person writing: 'A disclaimer about the placenta would've been nice though!' Another added: 'Warning: Don't swipe to the pic 4-6 if you are about to start your meal.' Someone else quipped: 'Did not have viewing a placenta on my bingo card for today.' Another said: 'Swiping: ''Oh wow!…. That's amazing….. Congratula….. WHAT THE F***!'' A fifth added: 'Congrats but blood and other stuff should not be posted like this, it's not a good look! Also where's the trigger warning?' The umbilical cord, which was attached to the placenta, also caught people's attention as it had been shaped into a heart for the snap. One person said: 'OMG!! Just saw the heart you made with the umbilical cord!!' However, others praised the couple for 'normalising' a part of child birth that is not normally shared online. One person wrote: 'Congratulations and thanks for sharing about the placenta too, it's important to normalise certain aspects of childbirth and not make it an area we don't talk about.' Another added: 'You know what I don't think I ever got to even see the 3 placentas my body made! This is incredible to look at really. Mother Nature! congratulations!' Someone else added: 'Congratulations! Thank you for normalising home birth (and placentas!) with these beautiful pictures. What a dream.' While many commenters expressed their congratulations to the couple, others suggested he should of put a 'disclaimer' in the caption about the organ snap The umbilical cord, which was attached to the placenta, also caught people's attention as it had been shaped into a heart for the snap Singer Becky Hill added: 'Love to see the placenta!! amazing we grow a whole new organ to provide life! good job not wasting it either, that's some goddess magic right there!' The placenta was later turned into pills by drying and grinding the organ into a powder before packing it into capsules. The practice of consuming the placenta, called placentophagy, is believed to offer postpartum benefits. Some people believe eating the placenta can prevent postpartum depression; ease bleeding after delivery; promote a healthy hormone balance in the body; improve mood, energy and milk supply; and provide important nutrients, such as iron. But there's no evidence that eating the placenta has health benefits. Vick has yet to share her own announcement, but she has reposted Calvin's photo alongside the captio: 'My boys'. Vick went on maternity leave from her BBC Radio 1 show in May and jetted out to her home in Ibiza shortly afterwards. The couple, who live in Gloucestershire, also have a farm called Terra Masia - the island's largest farm. Vick showed off her blossoming baby bump at their home in the Balearic Islands in a slew of photos captioned 'june bloom.' The TV personality looked every inch the glowing mother-to-be as she gazed down at her bump while sporting a bikini top. Vick confirmed rumours that she was pregnant live on her BBC radio show in May, letting her listeners know that she would soon be leaving on maternity leave. The placenta was later turned into pills by drying and grinding the organ into a powder that's then encapsulated During a conversation with co-host Jamie Laing, she revealed: 'I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave.' Jamie told her: 'You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum.' She replied: 'Oh, thank you.' A few weeks later while on stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend, Vick and Jamie curiously asked the thousands of supporters in the crowd for baby name suggestions. Addressing the audience, Jamie said: 'Vick is about to go on maternity leave, and she wants some help with some baby names, so if you can shout some names to me.' As the huge crowd began screaming out suggestions a giggling Vick replied: 'Ok, I got it.' There was speculation the baby would be born in the couple's sprawling Gloucestershire mansion. The Scottish-born DJ has reportedly transformed a sleepy village in the county into his own multi-million-pound countryside empire snapping up homes left, right and centre. Worth an eye-watering £250million, Calvin set to move into a stunning new five-bed mansion with his pregnant wife later this summer. Calvin is thought to have already bought two neighbouring homes and is eyeing up a third, bringing his total spend in the area to an estimated £15million. One local told The Sun: 'Building work there finally finished, for now, last week and we're expecting Calvin and Vick to move in at the end of the summer after his season playing at clubs in Ibiza has finished. From the road, the house looks amazing. 'No expense seems to have been spared. I am sure they will love living here as a family.' The move mirrors Ed Sheeran's infamous creation of 'Sheeranville' in Suffolk, with Calvin now following suit by transforming the sleepy village of just 700 people. Another resident said: 'Just like Ed Sheeran, he seems to want to buy up the properties that surround his incredible new house. 'We have had to put up with lots of building work going on, for what seems like years but what has annoyed locals most is that a lovely vineyard has gone.' Alongside the main mansion, originally bought in 2019 for £3.6million, which was flattened and rebuilt from scratch, it is thought Calvin also snapped up a six-bedroom property with a three-acre vineyard for £3.6 million, although he insisted the vines be ripped out. The plush pad, made from classic honey-coloured Cotswold stone, features five bedrooms, a swimming pool and tennis court. Other locals joked that the local pub could be next on his list - and suggested the chart-topper might even treat residents to a DJ set. Calvin, who once worked in a fish factory and stacked shelves at Safeway to buy his first decks, has since topped charts with 11 UK No 1s and raked in millions from a Las Vegas residency. Ever since he sold his song catalogue in 2020 for a reported £76million and has invested heavily in property ever since. The new mansion features a series of large ground floor rooms including kitchen, dining room and TV snug. Already the owner of a £12million mansion in LA, a £7.5million London townhouse, and a 138-acre farm in Ibiza, Calvin appears to have found his UK base in the Cotswolds, alongside celebrity neighbours like the Beckhams, Kate Moss, and Jeremy Clarkson. Daily Mail contacted Calvin's representatives for comment. 'NO BENEFIT' TO EATING PLACENTA, SAY EXPERTS The placenta is an organ attached to the lining of your womb during pregnancy. It connects the mother and the baby in the uterus and delivers oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to it. It also takes away the waste that the baby makes. After the baby is born, the placenta is also delivered through a few more contractions. The consumption of placenta, called placentophagy, is an old practice that has been observed in several cultures. More recently, celebrities like Kim Kardashian-West and January Jones made headlines for consuming their placenta after giving birth. It is claimed that ingesting the placenta reduces chances of postpartum depression and increases the quality of breast milk. It's been observed that dogs who eat their placentas had reduced labour pain and bonded with their puppies, however, such effect were not tested in women. However, scientists say there are no benefits to new mothers eating their placentas, and it could actually do harm. Consuming the placenta has become increasingly popular among new mothers because of claimed benefits such as a lower risk of getting postpartum depression, and increased mood and energy levels. Health experts led by an obstetrician from New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City said the risks of eating a placenta could outweigh any potential benefits. They analysed dozens of studies about placenta consumption and now advise obstetricians to discourage their patients from eating the placenta in any form, according to the study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. 'As obstetricians, it's important to tell the truth,' said Dr Amos Grunebaum, lead author and obstetrician. 'And the truth is it's potentially harmful and no evidence it's beneficial, so therefore, don't do it.' 'Over the last few years, we've had an increasing demand from patients who wanted to take their placenta home after delivery in order to eat it.' The experts feared eating the organ could spread bacterial or viral infections.
