A COUPLE who feared their cat had been run over and killed realised they had cremated the wrong one when she turned up days later.

Michael Deegan and wife Sarah were told missing nine-year-old Marshall had been hit by a car.

Thankfully, ‘Jesus cat’ Marshall had turned up at the home the pair had recently moved from and was very much alive[/caption]

Michael, 42, dashed to an industrial estate to identify the mog and said the ginger stripes and white foot convinced him it was Marshall.

He broke the bad news to daughter Eliza, 12, and paid £180 to cremate the cat.

But four days later the family were told Marshall had turned up at the home they had recently moved from.

The family are now keeping an eye out for anyone missing a similar cat and have kept the ashes just in case.

Michael, of Corby, Northants, said: “I’ll never live it down but looking back it’s funny and a relief that our cat is alive.

“My father-in-law thinks it should be a Specsavers advert.

“The cat had similar markings but it wasn’t the easiest to look at so we assumed it was ours.

“We told our daughter and she was devastated.

“It was bit of a shock when I went to the old house because she came running like nothing had happened.”

Relieved Eliza has since nicknamed her “Jesus cat” for her miracle-like return.

Mum Sarah, 44, posted about the “emotional rollercoaster” experience on TikTok and it has been viewed more than 450,000 times.

She explained how Marshall could not get used to her family’s new home so kept returning to the old house until she went missing at the end of October.

Marshall has now settled in to the new house.

FROM slimming sports bras to BBL leggings, Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shops for gear on the high street.

And we reveal which item is loved by stars like Zara McDermott and J-Lo.

Tummy and thigh flattering shorts

WHETHER you’re jumping on a spin bike, cycling to work, or want a pair of shorts to banish the dreaded chub rub, cycling shorts are a life-saver.

In eight different colours, including black and beige, Uniqlo’s Ultra Stretch AIRism Active Shorts flatter your thighs and stomach.

The fit is comfortable, stretchy and quick-drying.

Aside from being great for exercise, a lot of shoppers say they wear them under their normal daywear because of their “slimming” benefits.

“I bought these shorts to wear under skirts or dresses,” one said.

“Great purchase because they are high-waisted, the legs are long enough but also to ensure the thighs do not rub.”

So if you’re looking for a “do-everything” short, make these a go-to.

Waist-creating top

NEED a quick fix after overindulging at Christmas? F&F’s waist-cinching top works wonders for all occasions.

Part of the retailer’s latest Active range, edited by Kate Ferdinand, the long-sleeved top has a clever gathered middle.

It means the eye is drawn into its centre, while pleats create the illusion of a more defined waist. And who doesn’t want that?

Better still, it isn’t made from the usual stretchy nylon you see on most gymwear, but from a soft, cotton-like fabric, so it is far more versatile than your average workout top.

Plus the neutral colour and soft material mean you can wear it with your work trousers or skirt, at home with jeans, or at the gym.

Bingo wing banisher

Top, £12.99, H&M

WHEN it comes to women’s figures, our bingo wings can become an obsession as we age.

If you want to tone your arms without lifting weights – or cans of beans – for months, this could be the answer.

Brands like Skims have bingo wing-banishing tops that have “strong targeted compression” to smooth your arms for £64.

Although H&M’s DryMove sports top doesn’t offer compression, it is restricting and tight, holding everything in place, so your wings don’t flap.

Made from recycled polyester, it feels supportive without being too tight.

Coming in five colours, fans love this brilliantly versatile top and are leaving five-star reviews on the retailer’s website.

One gushed: “I ordered medium because my (post-mastectomy) boob implants are very full and round and it’s a spot-on fit for me.”

BBL leggings

These Riojoy leggings give you the look of a Brazilian butt lift[/caption]

WHETHER you’re trying to boost – or minimise – your bum, one thing we all chase after is that elusive lift.

Bum-sculpting leggings, or “bum scrunch” ones – made from scrunched or ruched together fabric – are designed to lift and shape you in all the right places and are loved by stars like Zara McDermott and J-Lo.

If you want a rounder, peachier looking posterior without spending days doing squats, these game-changers from Riojoy do just that.

They give you the look of a Brazilian butt lift but without the cost – or the dangers.

One shopper said: “They make my glutes look amazing”, while another added: “As much as I love them, my husband loves them more.”

Many customers say they are even better than Gymshark’s pricier £50 version.

DURING the current cold weather, layers are a real life-saver.

Sports jackets are lightweight and created to maintain your body temperature – ideal for layering so you don’t overheat.

Primark’s latest range of activewear features its Butter Performance jacket, £16, in khaki and classic black.

Sleek and snug, with a soft texture, it gives you a smooth and defined silhouette with stitched panels that contour your figure and nip in your waist.

Since the store’s new fitness range launched on December 30, TikTok fans have flooded social media, urging followers to hotfoot it to Primark for these viral gym jackets.

Some even say it’s a double of the pricey Lululemon Define jacket that retails for a whopping £138.

Belly-disguising vest

Vest, £12, Tu at Sainsbury’s

This vest is brilliant for disguising your tummy and great for those with a fuller bust[/caption]

IN fashion, we like to stick to reliable classics to keep our wardrobe looking good – and the same goes for our activewear.

Take this vest . . . it’s a must-have for when you are exercising, but so much more than a gym top.

Not only is the animal-print bang on trend, it’s also brilliant for disguising your tummy.

Busy prints are a trusty favourite in fashion as they camouflage any telltale lumps and bumps.

In the case of this versatile vest, it works wonders on your midriff.

Slip a tonal blazer over the top and pair with billowing wide-leg trousers for an on-trend office look, or wear with a pair of leggings and sweatshirt for the gym.

The top also has a racer back, which means the straps are really flattering for those with a fuller bust.

Boob-job sports bra

Shoppers have left rave reviews about the flattering silhouette this M&S sports bra gives[/caption]

WHEN it comes to bras, M&S knows what it’s doing – and this sports bra is no exception.

According to the high street giant, one in three of us owns a bra from its lingerie department and in 2024, more than 1.3million customers searched for sportswear on its website.

One of its bestsellers is this Freedom To Move Ultimate Support Sports bra from its in-house activewear Goodmove collection.

Shoppers have left rave reviews about the flattering silhouette it gives.

One delighted customer wrote: “Having practically given up on underwired bras, these bras are fantastically supportive every day as well as for jogging etc.”

Another praised its “lift and separate” action, meaning breasts aren’t squashed flat as with a lot of sports bras.

Another bonus – it is shaped like a bra, as opposed to the crop-top design, giving better lift and making it more wearable outside the gym.

VFL BOCHUM have had their 1-1 draw with Union Berlin overturned to a 2-0 win by Bundesliga chiefs.

The match finished in controversial circumstances last month.

Bochum players were fuming after the incident[/caption]

Bochum had gone down to 10 men just 13 minutes into the contest after former Birmingham ace Koji Miyoshi saw red.

Nevertheless, Ibrahima Sissoko gave his side the lead on 23 minutes in the German capital.

Union didn’t take long to hit back, with Benedict Hollerbach levelling shortly after the half hour.

Having been a man short for most of the game, Bochum were understandably content to secure a draw.

In the first minute of second half stoppage time, goalkeeper Patrick Drewes was booked for timewasting.

As the stopper lined up to take the following goal kick, he appeared to be struck by a lighter thrown from the crowd.

After the object whistled past him, Drewes went down holding his head.

Amid fury from home supporters, who felt that Drewes was exaggerating the contact, the goalkeeper received medical attention.

Four minutes after the incident occurred, Bochum players were sent back to the dressing room by the referee.

A further four minutes later, Union players followed suit.

Sixteen minutes after the original incident, the home side returned to the pitch.

Bochum eventually re-emerged too, with the game resuming around 25 minutes after the lighter was thrown.

With Drewes feeling unable to continue, and the visitors having already used all their substitutes, striker Philipp Hofmann went in goal.

But fans needn’t have worried about whether Hofmann was any good between the sticks or not, because the two teams seemingly agreed to just pass the ball between themselves for the remaining minutes, rather than looking to score.

This saw the strange contest finish 1-1, but that was not to be the end of it.

Bochum chiefs opted to appeal the referee’s decision to resume the match.

Their case centred around Drewes being unable to continue due to the actions of a supporter.

The stopper, 31, said he “felt dizzy” following the incident.

‘NO OTHER CHOICE’

The German football federation’s sports court accepted Bochum’s case and opted to award them a 2-0 victory.

Head of the court Stefan Oberholz claimed that they had “no other choice”.

Union will have a week to appeal the ruling, if they so wish.

They claim that they will make a decision after receiving the ruling in writing.

Prior to the ruling, Union were 12th in the Bundesliga table with 17 points from 12 games.

Losing the point earned against Bochum will not see them fall any places.

Bochum, meanwhile, are bottom of the league, having won just once all season.

The two extra points gained sees them go level with 17th-placed Holstein Kiel, although their goal difference remains inferior.
