Brightly-colored 'Polly Pocket home' hits the market in the UK for $850,000
House-hunters have been left stunned by a brightly-colored, four-bedroom terraced house which has just landed on the market in Brighton, England. The property, which has been likened to 'Polly Pocket's home', is immediately visible from the road, sporting a baby pink exterior with bright yellow accents. But if you think the exterior is bold, just wait until you step inside. The colorful nature does not stop at the door. The interior is full of quirky trinkets and furniture of various shades, with the owner's unique taste evident upon entering. It's a maximalist's fever dream, a celebration of individuality with not a single bit of beige in sight. The walls are decorated in ramshackle, mismatched frames, while the furniture is in bright neon and primary shades. Lampshades in various fabrics and patterns dangle from the ceiling, and even the bathroom is painted a vivacious yellow. The garden hasn't escaped pops of color either, having been painted turquoise, pink and yellow, and decked out with various rainbow furniture. Love it or loathe it, this vibrant home is impossible to ignore and it's naturally left the Internet divided. One user commented: 'The inside looks like it's owned by Polly Pocket.' Another viewer said: 'I'd take this any day over the greige.' Someone else joked: 'That's low key for Brighton.' Another person wrote: 'Go big or go home.' The listing, held by Wheelers Estate Agents for $850,000, describes it as a 'vibrant and spacious' home on a 'charming one-way street'. The property boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two cozy lounges, a spacious and open-plan dining room, and a kitchen. One of the bedrooms appears to be being used as an office filled with fabrics, while a second room is equally pokey and could be used as a study.

Kate Ferdinand's rarely-seen stepson towers over her as she shares snap to mark his 19th birthday
KATE Ferdinand's rarely-seen stepson towered over her as she shared a snap to mark his 19th birthday. Former Towie star Kate, 33, is a proud stepmum to husband Rio Ferdinand 's three children - Lorenz, Tate and Tia. 5 Taking to Instagram to wish Brighton footballer Lorenz a happy birthday, she shared an image of them both grinning and embracing. Lorenz looked trendy in a black tank top while Kate stunned in a strappy white number and jeans. She wrote in her caption: "Happy 19th birthday to you! Proud of you every day & love you so so very much! Special one." Alongside another, where the teenager looked visibly younger, the influencer asked: "How did that happen?" Kate and Rio, 46, began dating in 2016 after the death of his first wife, Rebecca Ellison. Rebecca sadly passed away from breast cancer in 2015, at the age of 34. When her death was announced it prompted an outpouring of grief from the footballing world. Rio and Kate opened up about their initial struggles in the BBC documentary Rio And Kate: Becoming A Stepfamily in 2020. However, Kate told Fabulous in 2023: 'I feel settled. '[Experts] say it takes up to seven years to adjust to a new blended, stepfamily set-up. "I remember hearing that and thinking: 'Are you joking? I'm two years in and that's a really long time.' Kate Ferdinand reveals A&E dash with injury-prone son Cree aged four, months after tot broke his collarbone "But now we're six years in and we're all used to each other. "It takes a while to get to know people after so much trauma and everything that has gone on. "Becoming a parent is not built in big, sweeping moments. It's lots of small things you do all the time. "And it takes time to build that bond and relationship. But now I feel secure.' She added: 'Looking back, everything takes time. "You can't go into a new job and expect to know what you're doing straight away if no one tells you what to do. "It's the same coming into an already formed family. You need to know each other and learn to love each other. "But if you put in the hard work, you reap the rewards.' Since tying the knot with Rio in 2019, Kate has welcomed two children with her husband. Their son Cree was born in December 2020 - having announced they were expecting in June. Three years later, Kate and Rio welcomed daughter Shae to the blended family. 5 5

Love Island fans beg producers to ‘step in' to check on Islander after emotional moment
LOVE Island fans have voiced concerns for Shakira Khan after she cried to some of her fellow Islanders in emotional scenes. The Burnley babe burst into tears and sought help from the producers after she ended her blossoming relationship with Conor over fears she'd never get over Harry 4 4 The Sun revealed Shakira sought support from Love Island's 24/7 duty of care team and asked to leave the villa altogether, but the team were able to talk her through the dark episode and she decided to stay. It turns out Shakira was not the only one concerned for her mental health after her emotional moment, and viewers have asked for producers to step in to give her assistance. "Love Island and Women's Aid, are you not going to do anything about the bullying that Shakira has faced from the misogynistic men. It's truly unfair and so many people are worrying for her mental health," wrote one person on X, formerly Twitter. Last week, Women's Aid issued a statement condemning some of the male contestant's behaviour and criticising the ITV reality show for perpetuating misogyny and sexism. "Producers desperate to get rid of Shakira - make it make sense?, when she's the realest, most considerate, respectful girl in there? "Love Island [has] become more toxic as the years goes on. This year has tipped it for me not to want to watch the show anymore. Half of them aren't there for love anymore. "Just mean games with no respect. Honestly love island, do better. Bring back the way love island was in the early days," wrote another person on Instagram. And a third person commented: "Idc [I don't care] what anyone says one thing Shakira has proven again and again is she is honest and not playing a game and we love her for that." The concern for Shakira comes just a day after viewers slammed Love Island bosses for nominating her for 'Most Emotional Moment' in the annual Grafties award. The ITV2 reality dating show revealed that the Grafties awards were returning and invited fans to vote in six different categories. The Grafties are an awards ceremony that the Islanders attend where the public votes for nominees - chosen by Love Island producers - in the six categories. Those categories include, Flirtiest Performance, Unfinished Business, Best Double Act, Most Emotional Moment, the Best No Filter Moment, and the Eat, Sleep, Crack On, Repeat award. Love Island fans slam dumped villa boy as they spot moment his 'mask slipped' in 'nasty' rant Last year's Grafties were so controversial that media regulator, Ofcom, received hundreds of complaints about them. Shakira was nominated in multiple categories for the Grafties and fans have accused producers to trying to "make Shakira a villain." She was nominated for Best No Filter Moment and Best Double Act alongside Toni. One fan reacted to the nominations writing: "Toni and Shakira will again look like mean girls.. producers when I catch you…" And another posted: "Honestly women's aid need to release a statement about the love island producers for what they are putting shakira through." 4
