A British influencer has made almost half a million pounds in earnings – thanks to her natural body hair. Fenella Fox is a 30-year-old influencer from Worcester who shares frequent body positivity posts with her social media followers. Fox explained how she witnessed a trend in bikini photos online and decided to recreate the images herself. "I stopped wearing makeup, stopped styling my hair, stopped shaving and let my body do its natural thing," she told Mail Online. "I talked about it a lot online and soon became known as a ‘body positive influencer’. "I think at the time there weren’t many doing what I was doing so I really stood out and it was actually really scary." Fox said she rakes in around £8,000 a month from creating content – however, while the financial freedom is a positive in her life, she also suffers from PTSD following a string of horrific backlash and two occasions of being stalked. She told the publication that her "life has never been the same" since 2018 when a man became obsessed with the idea of hurting her. "Horrific," she said. "I also experienced being stalked in person by another man in January this year and get long email essays from another man online regularly." She went on to say that one of the worst reactions was someone telling her that her job would result in death in their country. "I have also had men expect me to want to sleep with them because of my job," she added, noting that while she "entertains men online for a living," she gets "anxious" around them in person as a result. "I'll be brave and get a kiss maybe twice a year - my lack of sex life often comes at the shock to many of my fans," she continued.

Flat Earther David Weiss was left humiliated after debating a professor on the shape of our Earth. Weiss regularly interviews people on the subject on his show The Flat Earth Podcast, but threw himself into unfamiliar territory last year when he switched out being the interviewer for the interviewee. Weiss appeared on Professor Dave Explains in an episode title 'Professor Dave Humiliates Flat Earthed David Weiss'. During the hour long episode the pair debated Flat Earth believes, with Weiss claiming that the shape of the Earth came from astronomers who Professor Dave "doesn't know". "You've never met these men, you don't know anything about these men other than the stories that the controllers of this world tell you," Weiss told the academic. Like most Flat Earthers Weiss seemed to have an answer for everything, well, almost everything. Because when the discussion arrive at Earth's movement within space, Weiss struggled. "You think that we're spinning at 1000 miles an hour, and we don't feel it? And we're changing directions?" Weiss said on Earth's orbit. "How is that possible? How about when the Earth comes around towards the Sun in the winter, it's speeding up and taking its sharpest turn, and we don't feel any go those forces?" Naturally, Professor Dave made counterpoints at Weiss' argument. "Why don't you go ahead and get in a car, and do a 360 turn and make it take a year. Are you going to feel that?" Professor Dave asked Weiss, who acknowledged that it takes a year for the Earth to travel around the Sun. "Let's break it down," Professor Dave continued. "360 degrees, 365 days, that's about a degree a [day] right? Why don't you get in a car and drive for 24 hours, and over 24 hours veer by one degree. Are you going to feel that?"

Gordon Ramsay has been mercilessly mocked online after sharing the supposedly inspirational advice he received from his father-in-law. The celebrity chef was talking about getting the money together for his first flat with partner Tana back in the day, when he asked her father, Chris Hutcheson, for a loan. Speaking to Jake Humphrey on the High Performance Podcast, the celebrity chef recalled how he asked Tana’s father, Chris Hutcheson, for a £20,000 loan to buy a flat. “We were young, we were stupid, we were skint,” Ramsay said. He explained how he took his father-in-law out for a meal and asked him about lending money, despite driving around in a “flash” Porsche at the time. “He said ‘Okay, here’s what I’ll do. I’ll have another lunch with you when you sell your Porsche,’” the chef said. “I thought, you f***er. But, you clever f***er. Here I am driving around in a flash 911, and we didn’t even have a house, a flat, a roof over our heads. It was the best advice he ever gave me: Sell your f***ing Porsche.” Safe to say, people didn’t exactly find the story about selling a Porsche to fund a deposit all that relatable. There were people queuing up to take the mickey on social media after Humphrey posted the clip on Twitter/X, with one writing: “Great advice, just going to sell my Porsche and ask for £20,000 so I can buy a place to live. Housing crisis solved.” Another joked: “This is an incredibly powerful message. If you need money, don’t just sponge off someone else. No. Sell your Porsche. Really hit home, this one.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

A bride has shared her bizarre experience in the run up to the wedding, where a friend of hers insisted that she brought her dog to the ceremony. A woman voiced her frustration in a viral Reddit thread, explaining that her friend demanded an invite for her canine companion as it was “part of the family”. The unnamed 28-year-old wrote: "My friend, Lisa, has a dog named Max that she adores. Max is a lovable but highly energetic German Shepherd." She added: "Recently, Lisa asked me if she could bring Max to my wedding. She argued that he's part of her family, and she can't imagine leaving him alone for the whole day. She wants him to be a part of our special day." The bride went on to say that she told Lisa the venue would now allow the dog to attend the ceremony, and that the decision was out of her hands. "I love Max and understand her attachment, but I was hesitant,” she wrote. “I explained that our venue doesn't allow pets, and it's a formal event. We have a lot of guests who might not be comfortable around dogs, and I don't want any potential disruptions during the ceremony or reception." The woman added: "Lisa got upset and accused me of being inconsiderate. She said she'd keep Max on a leash and make sure he doesn't bother anyone. I insisted that we have to follow the venue's rules, but Lisa won't drop it. Now she's threatening not to come to the wedding at all because Max can't be there." Eventually the pair worked out a compromise, with the bride hosting a smaller event ahead of the wedding day which meant she was able to invite Lisa. "After our initial argument, Lisa and I had a heart-to-heart conversation,” the bride wrote. “She apologized for pressuring me and said she understood my concerns about the venue's rules. We agreed that Max won't be attending the formal ceremony and reception. We found a compromise by having a small, informal gathering the day before the wedding, where Max can join us. It'll be a fun and relaxed pre-wedding get-together for close friends and family to meet Max without any disruptions to the wedding itself." The comments section was full of people criticising Lisa’s actions, with one writing: "That is a completely unreasonable request. I have never heard of a guest bringing a dog to a wedding, especially a formal indoor ceremony." Another said: "This is a completely inappropriate request. Max is a pet, not a service animal. She needs to make arrangements for him by leaving him with a friend, family member, or boarding facility. If she is incapable of being away from him for a day she needs to get mental health help." It comes after a bridge sparked controversy after charging guests £2,000 to attend her wedding. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
