Kwesi Pratt has expressed disappointment over what he described as deliberate attempts to misrepresent his stance on the privatization of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). Addressing the issue on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana monitored by MyNewsGH, he revealed that a presenter on the same network had falsely accused him of remaining silent on […]

MADE In Chelsea alum Sophie Habboo has revealed husband Jamie Laing threatens to leave her “twice a year.”
The E4 star, 30 – who met her man on the reality TV series – candidly opened up on the pair’s NewlyWeds podcast.
The pair started off their podcast with the name NearlyWeds and, after their London nuptials in April 2023, re-named to suit their new husband-and-wife status.
Yet after almost two years as man and wife Sophie told how there had been cracks.
In a special episode which also featured the couple’s recent lie detector results, Sophie explained their marriage gripes.
The Wednesdays podcast host confessed: “When Jamie’s really, really angry with me, when we have had the worst fight ever, what he does is he’ll come in and he’ll go, Sophie – I’m leaving you.”
As Candy Kittens founder Jamie, 36, could be heard cackling away in the background, she continued: “And he does it, maybe, I’d say twice a year.
“And I’ll go, okay. And he’ll be like ‘I don’t want you to react.
“‘But there’s no point in talking to me. I am leaving you.
“‘And I, I’ve got my backpack and I’m going and I go, all right.”
It came after after Sophie told how they had a “raging argument” the night before their flat was burgled.
In the terrifying incident, an intruder had attempted to raid their home as they slept.
It came after the pair revealed their very different sex drives.
While Jamie confessed he fancied getting frisky every day, he told how Sophie was up for it “twice a year.”
Around the same time, Sophie joked he was “bog standard” between the sheets.
Jamie previously suggested the couple start seeing a marriage therapist and they now have therapy together twice a month.
MADE In Chelsea stars Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo said I Do in 2023. Here's their love story.
He explained: “I said to Sophie, ‘Look, 40 or 50 per cent of marriages end in divorce, I think it’ll be really good to do’, so we still go every other week and I think therapy brings self-awareness.
“It opens you up and makes you more empathetic. It makes you basically not become a sociopath and it allows you to have another opinion.
“You’ve got to communicate for ever, otherwise these things boil up, and going to therapy gives us the best chance of surviving this up-and-down life we’re going to have.
“So twice a month we sit down for an hour, and I’ve learned lots of lessons.”
The couple first met while appearing in the E4 show Made In Chelsea.
During a trip to South Africa, which aired towards the end of MIC series 17, Jamie began to realise he had feelings for Sophie.
But being close friends with her ex Sam Thompson felt he couldn’t act on it.
Back in London, things get a little awkward as Sophie’s friend and co-star Verity Bowditch thought Jamie liked her – it was eventually cleared up as Jamie confessed to liking Sophie.
The couple first got together in 2019 but endured a number of obstacles including a cheating scandal during the same year, as he slept with Rosi Mai Waldon while the pair were exclusively dating.
But both Jamie and Sophie managed to successfully put the past behind them and announced their engagement in 2021.
Sharing a sweet loved-up snap, they captioned the shot: “WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Then 16 months later, Jamie and Sophie flew to Spain to get married at the Marbella Club surrounded by 200 guests.
Other guests included Millie Mackintosh, Ollie Locke, Joshua Patterson, and Sam Thompson’s girlfriend Zara McDermott.
This came after their official ceremony in London in April 2023.
AROUND 7,500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year in the UK and 4,100 pass away from it.
But symptoms of the disease – which is the sixth most common cause of cancer death in women – can be difficult to spot, often remaining subtle until the cancer has developed.
On top of that, the signs of ovarian cancer can be easily confused with other conditions, Dr Alexis Missick, a GP working with pharmaceutical company UK Meds, warned.
The cancer can cause sufferers pain in the pelvic area, but it can also affect their toilet habits.
One telltale sign might even make itself known at the dinner table.
Ovarian cancer affects the ovaries, two small glands that form of part of the female reproductive system.
The ovaries produce, store, and release eggs for reproduction and are also responsible for making the female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone.
Ovarian cancer starts when abnormal cells in and around the ovary and fallopian tubes grow and divide in an uncontrolled way and form a cancerous tumour.
The cancerous cells grow into surrounding tissues and can spread to other parts of the body.
The most common type of the disease is epithelial ovarian cancer, which starts in cells covering the surface of the ovary.
There are other less common types, such as germ cell tumours and stromal tumours.
Ovarian cancer is most common in women over 50, particularly those who have gone through menopause. However, it can also affect younger women.
Risk factors include having a family history of ovarian or breast cancer, certain genetic mutations, and never having been pregnant.
Women who have used hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after menopause may also have a higher risk, according to Ovarian Cancer Action.
As March marks ovarian cancer awareness month, Dr Missick revealed four silent symptoms of the cancer:
“There are other, more unusual symptoms of ovarian cancer which people may not commonly associate with cancer,” the GP went on.
These include:
“Since these symptoms can overlap with less serious conditions they can be easy to ignore,” Dr Missick noted.
“If you experience any of these persistently and in tandem with more common symptoms, then it is worth seeking advice from your doctor or GP,” she stressed.
There are a few factors that can increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Dr Missick said: “The treatment for ovarian cancer is completely dependent on the stage and type of ovarian cancer you are diagnosed with and you will be advised on the best option by your doctor.
“Some treatment options include surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible, chemotherapy to shrink the tumours and hormone therapy.
“It is important to have thorough discussions with your doctor about the best course of treatment.”
Ovarian cancer can be serious, especially if it’s diagnosed at a late stage. However, when diagnosed at stage 1, 90 per cent of women live beyond five years.
The outcome depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer when it’s found, the type of ovarian cancer, and how well it responds to treatment.
Last year, University of Oxford scientists said they were creating a vaccine that teaches the immune system to recognise and attack the earliest stages of ovarian cancer, “wiping out” the disease.
The hope is that the shot could be given to women preventatively on the NHS with the aim of eliminating the disease.
Experts suggest it could work in a similar way to the human papillomavirus (HPV) jab, which is on track to stamp out cervical cancer.
HPV jabs are currently dished out to secondary school children and people at high risk of the virus, cutting their risk of getting conditions linked to HPV – including cervical cancer and genital warts.
Castlevania has to be on everyone’s watchlist for many reasons and it has nothing to do with the series’ popularity. Its a spin on the tale of Bram Stroker’s Dracula but it also reimagines several tropes within vampiric genre. But what has most fangirls going gaga is the charming dhampir Alucard. Other than being a […]
