Welcome to the Mirror’s Daily Digest, where we’ll be pulling together all the best stories of the day from our News, Showbiz, Sport teams and more. This Tuesday we’re featuring everything from revealing Britain’s cheating capital (and it might not be where you think) to a major character’s unexpected return to Coronation Street.
Our Royal reporters reveal that Prince William will be travelling to Rome on Saturday on behalf of King Charles to attend the funeral of Pope Francis in St Peter’s Square in the Vatican. There’s also the heartbreaking news of the untimely passing of a former child movie star who appeared alongside huge A-listers.
Meanwhile, our Showbiz team have been looking into Josie Gibson’s ‘medieval disease’ health crisis.
A new poll has revealed 33 per cent of Brits have admitted being adulterous, while also naming and shaming the cheating capital of the UK – and it might not be where you think.
An astonishing 33 per cent of Brits admit they’ve been adulterous and gotten away with it – but topping the list are people from a certain northern UK city who emerged as the most likely to stray, along with Leicester (40 per cent), Leeds (38 per cent), Plymouth (38 per cent) or Norwich (38 per cent), which are also hotbeds for adulterers across the UK.
The study of 2,000 Brits was commissioned by Netflix to mark the launch of new show Cheat: Unfinished Business.
This Tuesday, our Showbiz team have been looking into some cold hard truths about Josie Gibson‘s lifestyle as she took part in a new TV show where she road tested a 1970s diet.
Drinking champagne, eating in Michelin-starred restaurants and flying by private jet might sound like the best way to live – but it left the star facing a health crisis.
“I’ve come from one extreme to the other,” laughs Josie. “I went from living my finest life ever to being brought down to earth with a bang.”
Meanwhile, our Royal team reported Prince William will be travelling to Rome on Saturday on behalf of King Charles to attend the funeral of Pope Francis in St Peter’s Square in the Vatican.
The decision for the Prince of Wales, a future head of the Church of England, to attend is in keeping with modern tradition and will be seen as a major milestone in William’s role as a global statesman and future king. Charles as the Prince of Wales went to Pope John Paul II’s funeral, representing his mother the late Queen, in 2005.
Former child star Sophie Nyweide, who appeared in the 2009 romantic drama Mammoth has died at the age of 24, it has been announced by her family.
The American actress, who appeared in a number of films by the age of 10, was described as “a kind and trusting girl” by her family as they announced her death via a paid obituary.
They wrote: “Sophie was a kind and trusting girl. Often this left her open to being taken advantage of by others. She wrote and drew voraciously, and much of this art depicts the depth she had, and it also represents the pain she suffered.”
Finally, after much viewer concern, there’s a rather unexpected comeback for one missing Coronation Street character next week.
Fans have been questioning the abrupt and unexplained exit of a character, and others, who didn’t appear on the street past January. But Gary Windass will return to our screens next week – where he will soon find himself caught up with villain Mick Michaelis.
