Celeb osteopath who parked outside uni halls with telescope and camera to perv on female students undressing is jailed
A CELEB osteopath who parked outside uni halls with a telescope and camera to perv on female students undressing has been jailed. Torben Hersborg wore a balaclava to hide his face and lay in the back of his Lexus to spy on the women in King's Cross, London. 3 The 64-year-old, whose celeb clients included Fearne Cotton and actress Anna Friel, was also spotted crawling around in the vehicle while peeking through the window. He has now been jailed for three years and five months and made the subject of a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO). The osteopath has pleaded guilty to three charges of observing a person doing a private act "for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification". Snaresbrook Crown Court heard the offences took place on December 10, 14 and 21 last year. Varinder Hayre, prosecuting, said: "On December 21 at about 9pm, a member of the public reported that a male in a car has been taking photographs and videos of students in university students' accommodation. "The member of the public also said he has seen the male in the car about four years ago." The bystander also called police on December 10 and 14 but officers did not attend, the court heard. Hersborg was caught by police wearing black gloves and had black plastic bags lining the seats. When asked what he was doing, Hersborg claimed he had gone for drinks but felt like he was going to "pass out" on the way home so pulled over. But officers discovered a battery in his pocket and a camera and telescope in his car. Police recovered 68 images and videos that showed a woman in just a T-shirt, a different female sitting in her bedroom and another "seemingly getting dressed". A search was carried out at Hersborg's home and a large quantity of digital devices was seized. He gave no comment in his police interview, except to say he was "sorry for the whole situation". Hersborg is the director of the Central London Osteopathy and Sports Clinic in Old Street. His social media included video of a treatment session with Strictly star Viscountess Emma Weymouth, as well as photos with Oscar-winning actor Mark Rylance and Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood. Hersborg has also worked with Italian Serie A football team Brescia and the Danish Tennis Federation. He has been suspended from practising as an Osteopath by the General Osteopathic Council. Alex Weichselbaum of the Crown Prosecution Service said: "Hersborg operated in plain sight for too long and, having targeted thousands of women over 12 years, we believe the scale and significance of his offending makes him one of London's most prolific voyeurs. "His meticulously planned acts included setting up secret cameras in his clinic and covertly filming women - both in public and when they thought they were in the privacy of their own homes. "Hersborg deliberately abused the trust of his unwitting patients by filming them in intimate positions and targeted strangers for his own sexual gratification. "Women should be free to live their lives without unwanted intrusion – particularly from sexual offenders like Hersborg who deliberately chose to film or photograph them in their most private or intimate moments." 3

Davina McCall looks incredible as she shows off six pack in latest workout after insisting she's 'not scared of dying anymore' following brain tumour
proved that she is stronger than ever as she showed off her rock-hard abs during a fierce home workout. The TV presenter, 56, stunned fans on social media on Saturday after posting a clip of her latest training session, flaunting a sculpted six-pack. Wearing a white crop top, blue shorts and gym trainers, Davina powered through a tough cardio and abs session in her home gym – flexing her muscles and grinning as she smashed her reps with ease. The fitness fanatic has always been a champion for staying active, but this latest glimpse proved she has come back even stronger after her recent health scare. In November, the Masked Singer star revealed she was diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour and underwent a six-hour operation. Speaking about the terrifying ordeal at the time, Davina admitted her tumour - whom she called Jeffrey - made her 'angry', but now, she is showing what resilience really looks like – and her fans are lapping it up. Taking to the comment section they wrote: 'You can grate cheese on those abs' 'Absolute powerhouse'; Look at those legs'; 'Awesome Davina. Looking strong and AMAZING'; 'You are such an inspiration Davina'. Earlier this month the star insisted she's 'not scared of dying anymore' following her life-changing brain tumour. Speaking at Fearne Cotton 's Happy Place Festival at Gunnersby Park Davina explained how it has shifted her perspective on life. 'I am not afraid of dying anymore and it was the biggest journey of my life from August 2023 to November 2024', she admitted. 'I want to help people on their deathbed on my Begin Again podcast now so they can say "I have lived the life I wanted and not think things like "I wish I had not done that job. I wished I had not stayed in this relationship". 'Sometimes I feel like there are other powers at play. All the fear that comes around the word "tumour". Fearne and I understood each other at that time. 'I mean, it's a really amazing place to get to, not being scared of dying. I think having no regrets and feeling like you are living fully in the life you want to be in, it's quite rare.' Earlier in the year Davina admitted her tumour - whom she called Jeffrey - made her feel 'angry', but now, she is showing what resilience really looks like - and her fans are lapping it up Davina has long credited regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle with helping her stay strong – both mentally and physically. Speaking to The Telegraph earlier this year, Davina explained that she actually only works out for half an hour, four times a week as she said: 'People are like, 'What? Oh, we thought you were doing two hours, five days a week!' 'It's because I post snippets of my half-hour workouts and everyone thinks I'm doing it all the time.' Admitting she used to spend more time in the gym, Davina added: 'I worked out for longer in my 30s because I didn't realise I could get the same results while doing less. 'If you work out efficiently for half an hour, you'll get as much as from a sloppy 45 minutes to an hour. I'm always time poor: three kids, work, meetings, there's always stuff to do, and I don't have an hour and a half or two hours to work out every day.' Revealing her current workout regime, Davina explained she goes to her home gym after her morning coffee for a 30 minute workout two to three times a week. Focusing on strength training she uses her own health platform Davina Own Goals and follows one of the many workouts on there. The star uses 0.5kg weighted gloves for arm exercises as well as 5kg or 6kg weights and will also wear a weighted vest for full body exercises like squats. She also likes to go out on a run once a week as she revealed she has been doing Couch to 5k to get her fitness back after her surgery. Mixing in some intervals, Davina will add in some minute-long sprints to her runs to help her cardiovascular system. And weeks after a successful operation to remove the growth, Davina revealed her survival felt like a 'gift' while she reflected on the success of her new Begin Again podcast. Taking to Instagram at the end of December, the TV star recorded a video as she thanked fans for their support over her latest project, while also looking back on her own health journey as she admitted she feels like she's 'begun again'. She explained: 'Thanks for joining me on my Begin Again podcast. I've loved recording this podcast, and I've loved meeting everybody. 'What I've enjoyed about recording this podcast is, it's so so broad. Begin Again can mean anything, it can mean something similar to what I've just been through, which is having a life-threatening tumour and it being removed. 'I feel like I've begun again, I mean in the weirdest sense, I guess because I've had a positive outcome. It's like being given a second chance at life. It feels amazing, almost as if I've been given a gift.'

Dita Von Teese, 52, admits she WANTS to feel 'objectified and sexualised' and says the subject still feels 'taboo' after stunning fans with her racy Diamonds and Dust burlesque show
Dita Von Teese has revealed the moments she 'wants to feel objectified and sexualised' after stunning fans with her latest show. The burlesque star, 52, has been taking to the stage in her Diamonds And Dust show, which features 'high glamour, bold women, and dangerous games' at the Emerald Theatre in London. And speaking to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast, Dita shared that she feels there is still 'taboo' around feeling sexualised and desired, and admitted the moments she feels most objectified, haven't been when she's on stage. She said: 'Interestingly, the times I feel objectified are never to do with being on stage or doing what I do. 'It's always other weird things in life that you're just like, ''Oh, God, it's so weird to have somebody asking me that question'' or maybe somebody will recognize me for instance and they ask for a picture and I'll pose for their picture and then somebody else will be like, they don't know who I am, they just are like, ''why does those people want a picture?'' 'And they'll be very aggressive and like, ''I want one too'' and you're just like, oh, that's where you feel objectified when people put their hands on you or 'I need this too' or ''can you do this?'' Dita Von Teese has revealed the moments she 'wants to feel objectified and sexualised' after stunning fans with her latest show 'Anything like that I feel objectified. I know it's really taboo to say, but sometimes you're just like, ''I just want to be objectified for a minute. Wouldn't that be nice?'' 'I want to be sexualized and objectified sometimes. 'I think I'm also so used to having a theatre full of women that are there maybe because they read my book or whatever, or they follow me and then sometimes, especially this happens in Vegas, when there's people that don't know me, they don't know what my show is about. 'They are just walking into it and they're just like, 'yeah, this is hot' and I'm like, 'oh good I'm glad that it's still sexy and hot too'. 'I like to create a show that feels if you have never heard of me, you're still going to be like, 'that was so much fun. I've never seen anything like that in my life.' Credited with re-popularising burlesque, Dita, born Heather Renée Sweet, is an American vedette and businesswoman. A vedette is the main female artist of a show derived from cabaret and its subcategories of revue, vaudeville, music hall or burlesque. In January, Dita left Lorraine viewers swooning in a plunging gown as she revealed the 'most outrageous challenge of her life' on the hit daytime show. The model opened up to Lorraine Kelly about her time on The Masked Dancer. Dita starred on the ITV competition back in 2021 and dressed as a beetroot in a green and purple dress with a mask the shape of the vegetable. She revealed to Lorraine how she had suffered with vertigo from riding a mechanical bull and subsequently found dancing on the show difficult. Dita said: 'I had vertigo from riding my mechanical bull, I was riding my mechanical bull, swinging my head around and I triggered a vertigo thing and it was a problem for a year so I'm doing The Masked Dancer with this head and the lights on the floor were crazy, it was outrageous. 'It was one of the biggest challenges of my life but it was funny and I loved it,' the dancer added. The show was filmed during the Covid pandemic and Dita stayed at Claridges during the filming. Dita said: 'It was my favourite, besides doing the show and laughing throughout, it was right when the pandemic started and it was a full lockdown here and I was the only guest at Claridges.' She enjoyed a mostly empty hotel and 'special treatment' during her stay. 'I had it all to myself, I'd come wafting down that staircase in the mornings in my nightgown. There were like five people working there and I just had special treatment and they were like sure, you can stay there, because I'm a friend of the hotel,' Dita added.

Earlier this year, Fearne admitted life was tough following her marriage breakdown. Yet The Sun previously revealed Fearne, 43, has found love again with TV director Elliot Hegarty.

Fearne Cotton's estranged husband Jesse Wood makes first red carpet appearance with Made In Chelsea star Gemma Gregory
Fearne Cotton has had 'new beginnings' inked on her right hip since splitting up with Jesse Wood. For her estranged husband, actions speak louder than words. The son of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood made his first red-carpet appearance with former Made In Chelsea star Gemma Gregory on Friday. Jesse, 48, and Gemma, 39, attended the VIP screening of Twiggy at The Cinema at Selfridges, hosted by the documentary's director, Sadie Frost. The Daily Mail's Richard Eden disclosed in March that the couple had been enjoying a passionate romance for some time. Fearne, 43, issued a shock statement to announce her split from Jesse after 10 years of marriage back in December, saying their priority was their children. Last month, Gemma posted several loved-up pictures to Instagram, showing her and Jesse looking cosy as they cuddled and joked around during various days out. The London-born actress and former model captioned the post: 'Love is the frequency of magic', followed by star and red heart emojis. One friend commented, 'Gem you look so happy, glad you found a person who makes you happy.' Another said, 'You look so happy.' Insiders say the relationship is progressing quickly - and it looks to be far more than a casual rebound following the shock collapse of Jesse's decade-long marriage to TV presenter Fearne last December. 'It's getting serious now. Jesse and Gemma are spending loads of time together and things are clearly going well,' a source close to the pair told MailOnline. 'He's been through a rough patch emotionally, but Gemma's really lifted him. They've got chemistry and a lot in common - she makes him laugh, and he feels relaxed around her. It's definitely more than a fling.' The couple first went public in April when Gemma posted a sunny snap of Jesse hugging her tightly with the caption: 'Bloody love this one'. It came just weeks after photos of Fearne kissing her new boyfriend, TV director Elliot Hegarty, emerged. Fearne addressed her split from Jesse for the first time on Lorraine earlier this year, calling the situation 'very amicable' and saying the children - son Rex, 11, and daughter Honey, 8 - were 'doing great'. She also spoke candidly about her health struggles, revealing that she had undergone surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jaw last year. Jesse, meanwhile, has remained tight-lipped publicly, though his stepmother Jo Wood - ex-wife of his father Ronnie Wood - has spoken about the split. 'I was shocked, actually. I didn't expect Fearne to have a new boyfriend. And Jesse was devastated,' she told the Mail earlier this year. 'But sometimes in life, you have to go through these things… I'm sure Jesse's going to be very happy. These things work out. Their time was up - they had to move on.' She also said she looked forward to meeting Gemma, describing the relationship at the time as 'all very new'. Gemma, who has a son, Benji, from a previous relationship, is no stranger to the spotlight. She played young Estella in the 1999 adaptation of Great Expectations, and briefly appeared in Made in Chelsea in 2012 thanks to her long-time friendship with Hugo Taylor. She's also previously been romantically linked to aristocrat Nicholas Knatchbull - the godson of Prince Charles - and England polo captain Henry Brett. Despite her Chelsea connections and glamorous past, Gemma has kept a relatively low profile in recent years - though friends say she's now 'glowing' with happiness. Meanwhile, Fearne appears to be embracing her own new chapter, saying in a recent interview that she feels the happiest she's been in years and wants to focus on 'having fun' in her forties. Speaking to BBC Radio 2's Scott Mills, she said: 'I'm really happy… I'm springing out of bed in the morning ready for life.'
