Doorbell camera caught 4am garden intruder getting instant karma
Doorbell camera caught 4am garden intruder getting instant karma The camera captured something quite unusual in the middle of the night Mum awoken by doorbell camera capturing stranger falling in her garden at 4am A mum was awoken by an alert from her video doorbell camera capturing a stranger falling over in her garden at 4am. Kellie Evans, who lives in Bridgend with her husband and children, had been in bed sleeping when her phone notified her of the motion outside in the early hours of a Sunday morning last year. She initially thought it was one of her sons who had got outside, and alerted her husband Dominic, before going running towards the front door. But her husband looked out the window and realised the person outside was not a member of their family. He shouted out 'what are you doing?' towards the stranger, who then ran off quickly. When they got back inside their home, they reviewed the footage that had been captured on the camera and were surprised by what they saw. It shows a man stumbling around their front garden before falling over. Article continues below Mrs Evans said: "We'd been out last night to an event - we never go out, got back home and went to sleep at about midnight. "At around 4am, I was alerted to the Ring alert on my phone, and it turned out to be that guy. "It was only when we got back in and locked all the doors again and watched the video back that I saw the extent to actually how funny it was. "I thought 'What are the chances of catching that?' "I was laughing, and I've probably watched it 100 times today, and it is probably just as funny as when I watched it for the first time. "You feel sorry for the man at the same time, as you think, 'Oh, that must have hurt'. Article continues below "You could see he had his phone out, and he seemed quite stumbly. "I was thinking, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he wakes up and wonders: 'What the hell did I do last night?' being covered in bruises, as clearly he will not remember himself. "Without a Ring doorbell we would never have known that someone had been out and stumbling around in our garden."

BBC Repair Shop's Dominic Chinea opens up as he addresses 'tough subject'
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 The Repair Shop's Dominic Chinea recently delved into a personal topic when he discussed his cherished dog, Wendy, on his YouTube channel. A curious subscriber asked about the well-being and breed of his furry friend. Dominic clarified that Wendy is a Spanish waterdog, emphasising that she is neither a labradoodle nor a cockapoo. The BBC personality shared: "She's getting on now; I think she's six, nearly six and a half, I think. She has been absolutely fine, a tough subject at the moment because she's not been well." "I don't know what she's done, but she's been a bit sad. You know when you can just tell that the poor little dog is not happy? She's not been herself, she's a bit sad." (Image: YOUTUBE/DOMINICCHINEA) Dom revealed that Wendy had undergone blood tests at the vet's, which thankfully came back clear, but they suspect she might have an infection, reports the Express. He reassured viewers: "I will say, she's eating, she's drinking, she's gaining energy again and she's ok. We're all good and she's loving Cornwall." However, he admitted that since moving to Cornwall, Wendy has become somewhat of a 'wild dog', with previous training seemingly forgotten. (Image: YOUTUBE/DOMINICCHINEA) In another part of the video, Dominic opened up about his move to Cornwall, jokingly saying: "That's a really different one to start with! I thought we were going to start with easy questions!" Dominic, familiar with life in Kent which he found 'nice', nonchalantly remarked on his move 'Why not!' The BBC personality disclosed to his followers that he's acquired a sizeable barn to double as his workshop. (Image: YOUTUBE/DOMINICCHINEA) Expanding on the benefits of his new set-up, he noted: "Previously, I rented my old workshop and every month was giving a lot of money to a landlord to rent the space. Now, it's my space and whatever I do to it, it's mine. "That is enough of a reason for me. I will admit there is a lot of work to do, but at least it's mine, and eventually, I'll get there, and it'll be a decent workshop once again. For the minute, I've slightly compromised, but I'm working on it!". The Repair Shop is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Emmerdale legend in 'terrifying dog attack' with ‘life-changing consequences'
Dominic Brunt has announced Paddy Kirk will be brutally attacked by a dog in a jaw-dropping Emmerdale storyline. But the aftermath is set to flip his life upside down. He's been playing vet Paddy Kirk for the past 28 years - so it's no surprise Dominic Brunt knows the Emmerdale rollercoaster better than most. But in upcoming scenes due on ITV, the village favourite's world is shaken after he's attacked by an aggressive dog. 'He's already scared of horses,' Dominic says, 'Now he's got something else to be scared of.' Everything kicks off when Paddy spots a sheep tangled in a fence. He steps in to help - but a protective dog lunges at him, leaving him badly injured. Paddy is saved from the worst by his father Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) and rushed to hospital. The intense scenes were carefully choreographed with a highly-trained Alsatian and off-camera, Dominic had nothing but praise for the canine. 'That dog could do anything, he was amazing,' he remembers, 'He's an evil-looking thing. He'd growl and slabber everywhere but you felt really safe because as soon as someone pulled out his favourite food, he'd start wagging his tail. It was a big game to the dog but it was really impressive.' The attack triggers a huge shift in Paddy. Known for his dislike of hoses, it sends his confidence plummeting even further. 'He worries about the fact that he won't be able to do his job anymore,' Dominic says. 'He has no other skills and he's goning to have to work it out what he's going to do in the future.' And it's not just Paddy struggling. He's been increasingly worried about his father Bear, whose mental health has been deteriorating. 'Paddy's kicking himself that he hasn't noticed,' Dominic says, 'But the attack makes him see eye to eye with his dad.' Unfortunately, just as the two start to connect, Bear flees.'Bear leaves the village for a good, long while,' Dominic teases, 'But he has a big story coming up. We'll explain where he's been.' Amid the fallout of Paddy's attack, Emmerdale welcomes a new face: Jaye Griffiths joins the cast as Celia, a no-nonsense farmer who ruffles feathers and tries to strike a deal with Moira Dingle. Dominic was thrilled to work with her. 'She's just unbelievable,' he says, 'I was aware of her from various long-standing shows she's been in. I did her screen test. They auditioned lots of people and it was down to the last eight. All the actresses were brilliant but she did something else. It's one of those scenes where you think, 'This is something special.' I can't wait for people to meet her.' With almost three decades of soap under his belt, Dominic has built strong bonds off-screen too. For nine years, he co-hosted a zombie film festival in Leeds with pal Mark Charnock, raising money for the World Animal Protection. 'We don't do it anymore, I don't know why,' Dominic says, 'There's only so many zombie films you can show. We have children and we live quite far apart now.' Distance has never mattered in his friendship with Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle. 'We were still friends when Lisa left. We stayed in contact all the time and met up for lunch,' he says. 'She's a friend for life. When they brought us back together, it was like slipping on an old pair of shoes. We're very close, we know each other's thoughts.' He's just as warm about his other on-screen wives. 'I worked with Zoe Henry for years and we became really close. Then they put me with Lucy Pargeter and we were best friends for seven, or eight years,' Dominic adds. 'I was really pleased that, although I wasn't with them, I was back to my original best friend.' Despite saving all sorts of animals as Paddy, Dominic sticks to simpler companions at home: three dogs and a handful of cats. 'I'm more of a cat person but in recent years, I've swayed towards dogs. They get you out - we live in the middle of nowhere, and I enjoy taking walks,' he says. Dominic has also been vocal about wanting Emmerdale to show more of Paddy's ongoing mental health battle. In 2023, the beloved vet was diagnosed with depression after struggling with isolation and grief. Since then, he has been linked to Andy's Man Club, a national men's mental health charity. 'I'd like to see more mention of the fact that it still relies on the Samaritans and Andy's Man club, but they're going to sprinkle a bit of that,' Dominic says. 'He has to have one eye on the fact that this can come back and a dog attack can spring it back up. This happens to people with depression - they can feel well for years and then they're back there. Nobody's ever out of the woods.' Away from the cameras, Dominic keeps busy. He plays the mandolin and has a fascination for archeology - he's even studied it. 'I get these intense obsessions that last about four to five years, then I'll get bored very quickly and drop it all, it's weird,' he says. 'I return to them but they become more of a hobby than an obsession.' Still, it's Emmerdale that holds his heart. 'It's still an incredible job,' he says, 'I'm still nervous when I have masses of lines to do and really well-written scenes. But it's one of the best jobs in the world. As long as they keep writing these storylines, I'm sold. I'm very loyal to the show and I still love it to pieces.'
