'90 Day': Darcey Tones Herself Down to Please Georgi's 'Conservative' Family but He Fears She Isn't Taking the Trip Seriously
NEED TO KNOW On the July 20 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, Darcey was focused on appearing more 'conservative' for Georgi's family as they prepared to travel to Bulgaria Though she was determined to tone down her look, Georgi feared she was not taking the trip seriously and urged her to hide her "big cleavage, your super shoes and your short skirt" Tensions hit a breaking point as Georgi ultimately confessed, 'I'm worried [about] what my family and friends [are] going to think about her and what [they're] going to think about me too, because she's my wife"Darcey toned her style down ahead of her trip to meet Georgi's family in Bulgaria, but he still worried she was not taking the trip seriously. On the July 20 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, Darcey spent her final days before the trip doing whatever she could to appear more 'conservative' for Georgi's family — from getting new clothes to swapping out her old, long lashes for new, shorter ones. First, Darcey went shopping with her friend Roxy, who is also from Bulgaria, as she looked for some more appropriate clothing to wear on her upcoming trip. But some of the outfits Darcey liked, according to Roxy at least, still were not conservative enough for the culture in Bulgaria — including one black jumpsuit she tried on. 'I like this one!' Darcey exclaimed as she exited the dressing room. 'It feels conservative enough where it respects the family and the culture.' However, Roxy disagreed. 'You want to earn their respect,' she explained. 'Or they're going to send you back to America.' In a confessional, Darcey revealed she is 'scared, nervous and anxious' ahead of the trip. 'I don't know if his family is going to approve of me and accept me,' she explained. 'It's a lot of pressure.' Roxy said when she first met her partner's parents, 'it took a few trips until I earned their respect.' The first visit, she added, 'was probably the hardest one.' Roxy also suggested Darcey tone down her nails and remove her long eyelashes ahead of the trip. Darcey protested a bit, but ultimately agreed. She hoped that by toning down her look, she would show Georgi that she was 'putting in the effort to look a little bit more conservative.' But, she admitted in a confessional, 'it's definitely out of my comfort zone.' Darcey wound up pleased with the shorter lashes, which she received the next day. She suggested it felt like 'a good compromise,' and hoped Georgi would feel the same. 'I hope this is enough of a make-under for Georgi and his family because I love myself, I honor myself, and I'll only compromise so much,' she explained in a confessional. 'And if Georgi keeps pushing at it, it's going to affect our relationship because I'm not going to open up with a man that doesn't give me the respect I deserve.' During her lash appointment, Darcey said both she and Georgi 'need to put more time into celebrating each other in the marriage.' 'I feel like this is the perfect moment in time to really just embrace our marriage [and] our love life,' Darcey said in a confessional. 'Of course, I want to dress very respectfully for Georgi's family, but they're not going to be with us the whole time. So I want to pack some sexy things!' But back at home, as they packed for the trip, Georgi did not seem thrilled with some of the outfits Darcey had put together. 'Your boobs [are] out,' he stated as Darcey showed him the outfit she planned to wear on the plane. 'I'm going to have a jacket on the airplane!' Darcey protested as she donned a white fur coat, which she felt covered 'everything' it needed to. She argued that she had toned herself down 'a lot,' and pointed out her new lashes. But Georgi did not notice much of a difference, and seemed annoyed with his wife. 'Thank you Darcey, thank you for listening to me with [these] natural looking eyelashes,' he said in a confessional. 'I'm 100% sure my parents, they're not going to notice your big cleavage, your super shoes and your short skirt.' 'What's the big deal?' Darcey asked her husband, who noted this is not the first time he has told her how to dress appropriately for the trip. 'You don't respect what I say!' Georgi argued back, suggesting that people in Bulgaria might think she was a 'prostitute' or a 'w---' based on her outfits. Darcey disagreed, but Georgi insisted she was being 'disrespectful.' 'You don't really care about this trip, and that's why I'm upset' Georgi told his wife. In a confessional, Georgi said he was feeling 'overwhelmed about this trip.' 'I'm worried [about] what my family and friends [are] going to think about her and what [they're] going to think about me too, because she's my wife,' Georgi explained. Darcey tried to smooth things over. 'I don't want you to feel nervous!' she said before giving her husband a hug. 'I want you to care,' Georgi said, to which Darcey replied, 'I do care!' She then said 'I love you' in Bulgarian before they shared a quick kiss. Darcey and Georgi then headed for the airport and boarded their plane to Bulgaria. In an interview before taking flight, Darcey acknowledged that the trip 'means everything' to her husband. 'I want to give love,' Darcey explained. 'I'm a giver and want them to feel my love, that I care for their son, that I've always had his back and I just want to feel the same in return.'

Six ways to stay safe in the water after summer tragedies
'Behind every drowning statistic there are families and whole communities devastated' TAKE CARE Six ways to stay safe in the water after summer tragedies Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN the sun comes out over summer, it's natural to want to cool off. But taking a dip in one of Scotland's rivers or lochs, or going for a swim in the sea can be deadly - if you're not taking care. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Experts say people must follow the safety code 2 Kirsty Doig started a charity after her daughter died Last year there were a total of 33 accidental drownings in the country and a total of 193 across the UK. And just last weekend, when the temperatures soared, three people drowned. Glasgow-based Kirsty Doig, 41, founded the Darcey Sunshine Project after her daughter Darcey tragically died in a pool accident just two months before her fourth birthday. She said: 'Behind every drowning statistic there are families and whole communities devastated. No one should have to go through it. It's preventable with basic water safety knowledge. We need to get it out there fast because it will save lives. 'Reaching as many people as possible we hope will create a ripple effect, so that kids and young people and everyone can learn and pass on simple bits of information. Tell someone today or share the Water Safety Code and you'll already be helping save a life.' Here experts share safety tips everyone should know before they get in the water. WATER SHOCK TOP in the water safety code is to be aware of the possibility of cold water shock. As an automatic response to going into cold water, the blood vessels in your skin close and the output from your heart rises. This causes your blood pressure to increase and puts your heart under strain and could cause a heart attack. The sudden cooling of the skin can also make you gasp involuntarily and increase your breathing rate which can cause you to panic, inhale water and potentially drown. FLOAT TO SURVIVE Water Safety Scotland says if you unintentionally fall into the water, don't try to swim straight away. Four dead after cases of rare flesh-eating bacteria spike in US vacation hotspot – all swimmers need to use caution Fight your instinct to thrash about and, instead, try to remain calm and relaxed. Then, turn onto your back and adopt the 'starfish' float position. Once floating and the initial effects of cold water shock have passed - which will take about 90 seconds - you should then call for help and look around for anything that can be used to help you float or get out of the water. TURNING TIDE The Water Safety Code warns if you're planning to swim in the sea, be aware of rip currents, wind and the tide. It's vital to be aware of tide times to avoid the risk of being stranded. Meanwhile, rip currents - which can reach up to five miles-per-hour - are sometimes identified by a channel of churning, choppy water on the water's surface. Even the most experienced beachgoers can be caught out so it's best to swim at a beach where there is a lifeguard. THROW LINE The safety experts say that if you see someone in trouble in the water, do not get in and attempt to help. You risk putting yourself in danger that way. You should call 999 and ask for the Fire and Rescue Service for inland waters or request the Coastguard for coastal emergencies. Meanwhile, you should look for a throw line, life ring or anything that floats to aid the person or encourage the person in trouble to float on their back, if it's possible. STAY SAFE TO SAVE LIVES THE Darcey Sunshine Foundation team will be at Water Safety Scotland's free World Drowning Prevention Day event at Loch Lomond Shores, Balloch, on Friday, July 25 Now in its fourth year, Water Safety Scotland is warning that continued vigilance is essential to save lives. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn life-saving tips, watch live rescue demonstrations by SFRS, Scottish Ambulance Service and the Scottish Newfoundland Club rescue dogs and try out paddleboarding and canoeing. Carlene McAvoy, Founder of Water Safety Scotland, said: 'Every life lost is one too many. 'Events like World Drowning Prevention Day are vital in spreading awareness and equipping people with the knowledge they need to stay safe around water. 'Our focus remains on promoting the Water Safety Code in a fun, engaging, and educational way.' The event will run from 11am to 4pm and is open to all ages with families, school kids and community groups especially encouraged to attend. WILD SWIM The benefits of wild swimming are well documented but the lack of nearby safety equipment and increased challenge in the event of rescue mean it is much riskier than swimming in a pool. Meanwhile, the depth of the water can change and be unpredictable with underwater ledges and objects causing potential problems. Experts advise people to join a recognised open water swimming club, to check the weather, go with a friend and have the right equipment, such as a wet suit, brightly coloured swim hat and a tow float. JACKET MUST With the weather hotting up, adventurous folk like to get out on the water for activities, such as paddleboarding and canoeing. Water Safety Scotland says these come with risks if you don't know how to swim properly or you paddle alone. Meanwhile, weather conditions can hamper participants being able to return to the board or canoe if they end up in the water. This is why they say lifejackets must be worn by every user, regardless of ability.

Addenbrooke's surgery problems 'brushed under the rug'
The parents of a nine-year-old girl say problems with a hip operation were "brushed under the rug" as the surgeon involved faces a major NHS review into 800 patient surgeon Kuldeep Stohr operated on Darcey at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge in 2022 as her hips were dislocating and claimed it had been a "success".Darcey's parents said "without support" her leg "would inwardly rotate almost to 90 degrees". She now needs further hospital has apologised to patients and said reviews into the surgeon's care are ongoing. Ms Stohr declined to comment on Darcey's case but previously said she was co-operating with the investigation. Ms Stohr was suspended by the hospital and has not been at work since March 2024, initially for personal Ms Stohr's absence, her patients were seen by other doctors who discovered, a letter to the parents from the hospital said, a "higher than expected level of complications". That led to a smaller-scale review, comparing her surgeries with the work of three other the others had no subpar operations, nine of hers were found to be substandard and one of those was Darcey, from the Cambridgeshire village of 49, said Darcey has cerebral palsy, is non-verbal and "defied the odds" by surviving a severe viral infection at Stohr performed surgery on Darcey in June 2022 as her hips were dislocating and her legs were becoming different Darcey - who had a number of respiratory infections post-surgery - was being weaned out of her cast her family noticed her "foot angle would turn in" and immediately raised said they had an "unusual" meeting with Ms Stohr, who did not take X-rays but said that she felt comfortable Darcey's hips were in joint."I did say to [Ms Stohr] 'Why is the leg so inwardly rotated?' and she said, 'Well, that might be me'," Stephen said the doctor's comment left her "shocked; I didn't know how to react". When Ms Stohr was off in 2024, a stand-in doctor told the family the surgery outcome was not as expected."You trust these people to do the job they're going to do, to do it well and if there's any problems, you will come and you will deal with it after," Charlotte, 35, said. "There was clearly a problem after but it was just brushed under the rug."There were no checks, it was just you and that surgeon and that was it. "Whilst multiple physios, [and an] occupational therapist said ' we feel there's an issue here, can you review Darcey?' the problem was it never got further than Ms Stohr." A review found Darcey should have had pelvic osteotomies - where the pelvis is re-shaped - and that there was "poor pre-operative judgement".She now needs further surgery, which Charlotte said was "another lot of risks, another anaesthetic, another huge healing time, a lot of stress on Darcey's body".Stephen said he has been left feeling like he made a "mistake" in having the surgery under Ms Stohr, about whom concerns were raised as early as 2015."What we know now is it didn't just go wrong for Darcey, and I don't understand how it could go wrong so many times without being picked up, and also for so long," he said. The investigation into Ms Stohr is the second one nationally to involve a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon in the past year. Some cases linked to Yaser Jabbar, a former surgeon at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, resulted in harm, including lifelong injuries and Crompton, a consultant children's orthopaedic surgeon at hospitals in the south east and London, has been asked by Addenbrooke's to look at some of the cases unable to comment on the investigation, he said normal practice was for post-surgery complications to be discussed between multi-disciplinary complications which become apparent in the longer-term "really would rely on a consultant monitoring their practice, following up the children long term... being aware of what the normal is and reporting if you think your practice was outside that normal range of discussion." Dr Susan Broster, chief medical officer at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Addenbrooke's, said she "fully understands that families feel let down".She said two investigations had been commissioned, including one "into what was known when about the practice of the surgeon and whether there were opportunities to have identified and addressed these issues sooner". "We apologise again to patients, and we want to do everything we can to support them at what we know is a distressing and anxious time," Dr Broster Stohr, through her lawyers, did not respond to the BBC's questions about Darcey's case, but has previously said: "I always strive to provide the highest standards of care to all my patients. "I am cooperating fully with the trust investigation and it would not be appropriate to comment further at this time." Follow Cambridgeshire news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

Avani falters in final round, finishes at career-best T-5 in Belgium
Hulencourt Jun 15 Rising India star Avani Prashanth, who started with a one-shot lead, faltered in the fourth and final round, finishing on tied fifth place at the Hulencourt Women's Open here. She shot 3-over 75 and finished with a card of 7-under 281, but still it was her best finish of the season. Another rookie Darcey Harry of Wales celebrated her 22nd birthday, which fell this week, by recovering from an early bogey for a round of 68 and a total of 13-under for the week to register her first career win. Avani, who led by one shot at the start of the day, opened bogey-bogey and never really recovered from that setback. Avani dropped shots on the first, second and the ninth and slipped from 11-under to 8-under. A birdie on par-5 13th was a small consolation and she ended with another bogey on he 18th for a 75, which was her worst card of the week after the first three rounds of 68-69-69. She finished at 7-under in a tie for fifth place with Lauren Walsh . The tied fifth place was the best finish for Avani as a professional and equalled her best of a similar T-5 in the 2023 Hero Women's Indian Open, when she was still an amateur. Avani also has four top-20 finishes this season. Diksha Dagar was T-23 at 1-under, while Tvesa Malik was T-48. Diksha had two birdies and two bogeys. Darcey, who was one behind the Indian at the start, also bogeyed the start, but the Welsh golfer was on fire from the fifth hole. She birdied the fifth, eighth, ninth and the tenth. A stutter with a bogey on the 11th was brushed aside by an eagle on the 13th and a birdie on the 14th. She reached 14-under and was four shots clear of second-placed Nastasia Nadaud . Darcey could afford a bogey on the 16th and then closed with two pars for a three-shot win, her first in her first season on the Ladies European Tour. Overall Darcey had five birdies, three bogeys and an eagle. It was her second eagle of the week, after one on the tenth on the third day. Nastasia, who was tied second with Darcey after the third day, but one behind Avani, had six birdies, but she also gave away three bogeys and a late double bogey on the Par-4 12th. Nastasia shot 71 and was 11-under and sole second. Amelia Garvey had one of the best rounds of the day and rose from T-18 to third, while Helen Briem had one birdie and one bogey in a round of 72 and was sole fourth at 8-under.
