Phillip Schofield's first appearance on This Morning 25 years ago resurfaces following exit
Footage has resurfaced of Phillip Schofield's first-ever This Morning appearance, following the news he would be stepping away from his long-standing role on the show. The host sat alongside Caron Keating in 1998, sporting dark brunette hair, but his same witty sense of humour. Schofield 'mutually agreed' with ITV to step down with 'immediate effect' last week following an alleged rift between him and co-star, Holly Willoughby. It's thought Schofield will take up a presenting spot on another prime time ITV show in the future. Click here to sign up for our newsletters

Man hits on woman only to discover she’s Kanye West’s new wife
Months of speculation over Kanye West’s relationship status have been put to bed thanks to a fruitlessly flirtatious TikTok encounter. A content creator called Nue filmed himself having a conversation with a “sexy” bleach-blonde woman while out shopping. He wrapped up their encounter by asking for her number, to which she replied: “I’m married!” This may sound like a pretty conclusive end to the story, but it was only the beginning of a social media feeding frenzy. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter You see, the woman turned out to be none other than Ye’s latest love interest Bianca Censori. @gratefulboynuee Yea Married To Kanye ? #fyp #omg #beauty #ye #foryou #rizz #famous #trending Censori, 28, is the head of architecture for the Yeezy brand and has been linked to the disgraced rapper since January. Sources told DailyMail.com at the time that Kanye, 45, had secretly married the model and designer in an intimate ceremony. And an insider told The US Sun that they’d exchanged vows at the $5,000-a-night Amangiri Resort in Utah. However, the paper confirmed that the pair hadn’t registered for a marriage licence in the state. It is still not known whether or not the couple secured the necessary paperwork to make their union legally binding. The rumoured knot-tying came just two months after the ‘Gold Digger’ singer finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he has four children. It also came as Ye single-handedly destroyed his own career and reputation via a string of anti-Semitic tirades. All we can confidently say at this stage is that Censori considers herself to be off the market, and no, she won’t give her number out to smooth-talking strangers.

What is Lake Xochimilco and axolotl? The unique landmark celebrated in Google Doodle
The Google Doodle has celebrated diverse figures like photographer Corky Lee to German actress Renate Krößner recently, and now it's turned its attention to something entirely different. Today (May 20), it’s all about a rare animal and its natural habitat, with the search engine launching a new initiative with an interactive doodle. Lake Xochimilco in Mexico and the rare axolotl are being celebrated today, with Google shedding light on the exotic animal and effort to protect it. The axolotl is a species of salamander which is paedomorphic – retaining its juvenile features as an adult. Its closest relative is the tiger salamander, and the rare special can only be found in very specific places around the world. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter One of them is Lake Xochimilco. Google’s description reads: “Today’s interactive Doodle celebrates Lake Xochimilco, a natural lake near Mexico City that is the last remaining native habitat for axolotls in the world (cousins of the salamander). “The lake was once home to the ancient Aztec civilization during the 15th century, and eventually landowners in the colonial period took over occupation of the lake. On this day in 1920, the Mexican government returned Lake Xochimilco back to the locals. Lake Xochimilco now serves as a recreational site, cultural attraction, and home to the rare axolotl species.” It continues: “Due to Lake Xochimilco’s unique landscape, local farmers adopted the ancient chinampa farming method, which involves artificial floating gardens. These chinamperos (or farmers) grow hundreds of different aquatic plants, from common vegetables to medicinal herbs, in the nutrient-rich soil. It’s also a popular destination for rowing and kayaking — cruising on colorful, wooden boats called trijaneras is an essential pastime on the lake. “Lake Xochimilco is also currently the last remaining native habitat on Earth for axolotls, fresh-water salamanders that live in the water instead of on land. Their mouths are permanently upturned into a slight smile, and they can regenerate limbs, gills, and even parts of their eyes and brains! Unfortunately, these delicate creatures were listed as a critically endangered species in 2008.” “Legend has it that their namesake — the Aztec god of fire and lightning, Xolotl — disguised himself as a salamander to avoid sacrifice. The axolotl is so culturally revered in Mexico that the Bank of Mexico added the salamander to the country’s 50-peso bill in 2021. “Today, many are working to protect Lake Xochimilco after years of pollution, invasive species, man-made disturbances, and other obstacles have harmed the axolotl ecosystem. Local chinamperos have been actively restoring their lands with better fertilizers and water filters to preserve these creatures that have become an integral part of their identity and way of life.” Have your say in our news democracy.
