Ella Henderson reveals endometriosis diagnosis
Pop star Ella Henderson has revealed she has endometriosis and has partnered with a charity to raise awareness of the condition. In a video message on her Instagram account, the multi-platinum selling artist said the last few years had been "a little bit of a rollercoaster" because of her symptoms but she had finally been diagnosed in January. "I've really been struggling, not only with stomach bloating, physical pain but also with my mental health on the basis that I thought at one point this was all just in my head," she said. The 29-year-old, from Tetney in Lincolnshire, said she wanted to share her experience to start "an open conversation" about the condition. Endometriosis causes cells similar to those in the lining of the womb to grow in other parts of the body, leading to severe pain. It affects one in ten women in the UK and takes an average of almost nine years to get a diagnosis, according to Endometriosis UK. Henderson said although her own diagnosis had been "devastating", it had also been "empowering" and she had partnered with the charity to raise awareness. In her video message, she said she was determined to educate herself and get people talking about the condition. "I don't want future generations of women to go through what I did. I know that my situation isn't unique and too many women unnecessarily suffer with undiagnosed endometriosis for far too long," she said. Henderson, who rose to fame on ITV show The X Factor, said speaking to other women and learning to understand the condition had been "crucial". "For me, I really struggled thinking this was just something I was going through," she said. "I want you to know if you are going through this you are not alone." Emma Cox, chief executive of Endometriosis UK, praised Henderson for sharing her experience in such "an open and frank way". "Ella's willingness to share her story will no doubt help others in their diagnosis journey, helping them access the care they need," she said. As well as raising awareness, the charity campaigns to improve education in schools and for healthcare practitioners to be trained to recognise the symptoms. Ms Cox added: "Without education and awareness, those with the disease will continue to face challenges in getting a diagnosis and accessing the right care at the right time, as Ella did."

Father and son drowned during test drive after Mercedes plunged into canal, inquest told
A father and son drowned after a Mercedes they were test driving hit a telegraph pole and plunged into a canal, an inquest has been told. Footballer Cameron Walsh, 16, was messaging his friends minutes before the car entered the Louth Canal, in Tetney near Grimsby, Greater Lincolnshire Coroner's Court heard. His father, David Walsh, 40, was believed to have been driving the vehicle. A witness who saw the blue Mercedes GLC 300 said it performed a "snaking action" and assumed the driver was "trying to gain control", the inquest heard. Roberta Smith, who called 999, added that the vehicle "flew off the road and into the canal" and appeared to be "airborne" before it landed "roof first" in the water. Another witness described seeing a blue car being driven "erratically and at speed". The inquest heard emergency services were called at 1.38pm on 6 January 2024. Fire crews had to smash a window to gain access to the locked car, which had been collected from a Mercedes dealership. But by that point the pair had been in the water for up to 45 minutes, the inquest was told. They were pronounced dead at 2.58pm. The cause of death for both was recorded as drowning. Assistant coroner for Greater Lincolnshire, Marianne Johnson, concluded that it was likely David Walsh was driving and the pair died in a road traffic collision. She added that she would file a prevention of future deaths report, designed to ensure authorities act on issues uncovered during an inquest. The inquest, attended by friends and relatives of the pair, also heard there were no mechanical defects likely to have contributed to the crash. Forensic collision investigator PC Nick Prestwich told the hearing that "the collision occurred partly due to the manner of driving". Speaking about CCTV footage of the car on Tetney Lock Road, Tetney, PC Prestwich said: "You can see that vehicle is swerving around on the road surface. It's my belief the car was driven too fast for the road conditions." The inquest also heard Cameron Walsh messaged his girlfriend saying that the car was "banging". He also sent a picture of himself inside the vehicle to a friend via Snapchat one minute before it is believed to have entered the canal. Tetney Lock Road was described to the inquest as a 60mph single-track road with "no road marks" and warning signs for an uneven surface. Richard Fenwick, an official from Lincolnshire County Council, said an inspection four days after the incident had identified no safety defects. A family statement, read to the inquest, described the father and son as "two beautiful people" who were "full of life". It added: "David was the most selfless person to grace the earth, his kindness was unheard of. He embraced his role as a father figure with unmatched warmth. "Cameron's personality lit up the darkest of rooms. Cameron was a gentle giant. When you were with Cameron you always knew he was there." Cameron Walsh, who played for Grimsby Town Football Club, was called an "undeniable talent" and "much-loved figure" by the club in a tribute following his death.

Public slipway brings Louth canal back into use after 100 years
A slipway designed to bring a disused waterway into public use will open officially boats stopped using the Louth Navigation more than 100 years Louth Navigation Trust has spent £96,000 on creating the slipway, at Austen Fen on Fen Lane, for paddleboarders, kayakers and canoers to easily access the canal.A launch event, including live music and family activities, will be held between 10:00 and 16:00 BST near a Grade II-listed warehouse. The trust said water-sports enthusiasts would be able to enter a seven-mile pond between Outfen and Tetney Lock "daily from dawn until dusk".According to the Inland Waterways Association, the Louth Navigation connected Louth to Tetney Haven, near Humberston. It opened in 1770, but closed in 1924 following a "rapid decline in income". The Louth Navigation Trust said the canal had "played a vital but currently understated role in the history of the Industrial Revolution"."It was the first commissioned design for a locked artificial waterway in this country, and its designer, James Grundy, was one of the first trained civil engineers," its website Hunt, the secretary of the trust, said the new slipway would "encourage further projects along the canal and towpath until all 11 miles are accessible for leisure and pleasure".
