A 'beautiful' model killed herself in a Premier Inn hotels after her mental health declined when she was sexually groomed aged just 13, her grief-stricken family said. Caitlin O'Reilly, 20, took her own life in her hotel room in Manchester city centre after going on a night out with friends in August of last year. She was the daughter of one of Robbie Williams' close friends, and the Take That popstar paid tribute to her, calling her a 'beautiful 20-year-old girl with her whole life ahead of her'. Her heartbroken parents, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, have now shared her devastating story in an effort to help other people fighting mental health issues. Caitlin's mother Kay Speedman said 'everybody's life changed' when they discovered that she was groomed by an older man as a young teenager. Mrs Speedman, a former police officer, said the former St John Fisher Catholic College student thought she was not worthy and would self-harm whil

Care homes are demanding mandatory testing of inspectors to prevent putting elderly 'lives at risk' after more than 100 reported coronavirus symptoms.  The Care Quality Commission had suspended inspections for five months in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus.  But last month the watchdog took the decision, sanctioned by the Department of Health, to redeploy inspectors. The CQC, which employs around 1,300 inspectors, is set to launch 500 inspections over the next six weeks - but testing for those visiting care homes is not currently compulsory. Care provides have fiercely criticised the move after it was estimated that 16,000 care home residents died with Covid-19 during the first wave of coronavirus.  Care homes are demanding mandatory testing of inspectors to prevent putting elderly 'lives at risk' after more than 100 reported coronavirus symptoms (stock image) Data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by The Sunday Telegraph revealed that more tha

A Russian medical worker has revealed the grim toll that coronavirus is taking on the country as he filmed the bodies of dozens of victims packed into a morgue.  'Corpses everywhere, corpses, corpses,' the man can be heard saying as he gives viewers a tour of a corridor and dissection room that is typically used for post-mortem examinations, but is instead being used to store bodies. The footage was captured in the Siberian city of Novokuznetsk, 300 miles from the border with Kazakhstan, as Russia suffers through a second wave of the virus. On Monday the country reported 17,347 new cases of the virus, a new one-day toll that brings its overall total to 1,531,224. The country also reported 219 deaths from the virus, the lowest daily total for a week, but amid suspicion that many deaths are not being logged and the true toll could be three times as high.  A morgue worker in the Siberian city of Novokuznetsk has revealed dozens of bodies piled in corridors and a dissection room

Britain is pinning its hopes of striking a post-Brexit trade deal with the EU on Angela Merkel being able to 'unlock' Emmanuel Macron on the crunch issue of fishing rights, it was claimed today.  There is growing optimism of a deal being done between the two sides but fisheries remains the major stumbling block to an accord, with France still refusing to budge.  Mr Macron wants French trawlers to maintain their current access to British waters but Downing Street is adamant UK boats will be given priority.  There is thought to be 'light at the end of the tunnel' on other crunch issues like state aid and the governance of the deal.   The UK is hoping the German Chancellor can persuade the French President to give ground on fish in order to remove the final hurdle to a deal.  It came as logistics bosses warned leaving the EU at the end of the year without a trade deal in place would have 'cost implications' for UK consumers.  The UK Government is hoping German Chan

Islamophobic content on Facebook is to blame for a rise in 'extremism and violence' around the world, Pakistan's Prime Minister has said, as he called for it to be banned. In an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg, Imran Khan hit out at 'rampant abuse and vilification' of Muslims online, calling for a ban similar to the one recently introduced this month for Holocaust deniers.  Among several examples, Khan spoke about the publication of 'blasphemous' cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in France, which he said would lead to the marginalisation of Muslims and encourage violent extremism. The letter was published just hours after Khan directly accused Emmanuel Macron of 'attacking Islam' in the wake of a terror attack in Paris which saw a teacher beheaded for showing Mohammed cartoons to his students. Imran Khan has blamed Islamophobic content on Facebook for causing a rise in violent extremism and called for it to be banned It came hours after Khan accused Em

AFL fans have praised Richmond as 'pure class' after noticing a hidden detail in an iconic photo of Gary Ablett Jr's farewell guard of honour.  The Geelong Cats legend was teary-eyed as he was clapped out of the Gabba after his team's crushing loss on Saturday - closing the door on his 357-game AFL career. Richmond players garnered widespread adulation after captain Trent Cotchin reached out to the Cats on his team's behalf, amid their premiership celebrations, to ask how they could help the Tigers farewell the retiring superstar.  Together, the teams formed an honour guard and vivaciously cheered as Ablett, 36, walked off the field for the last time.   But eagle-eyed footy fans have drawn attention to another respect-worthy display of sportsmanship. Every Tiger player in the line removed their premiership medals from around their necks in an apparent bid to set aside their victory as they saw the AFL great off the field. The Richmond Tigers and Geelong cats forme

A group of over 800 former judges and senior legal figures have signed a letter to the Prime Minister and Home Secretary Priti Patel calling on them to apologise for their 'hostility' towards the legal profession. The letter, which has been co-signed by three former justices of the UK Supreme Court along with 80 QCs and hundreds of barristers and solicitors, is in response to 'recent attacks, made by the Home Secretary and echoed by the Prime Minister, on lawyers seeking to hold the Government to the law'. In August, the Home Office was forced to abandon using a video which accuses 'activist lawyers' representing migrants of trying to disrupt the asylum system after a barrage of complaints. Earlier this month at the Conservative Party online conference, Boris Johnson ramped up the rhetoric in the battle between the Government and the justice system. More than 800 former judges and senior legal figures have signed a letter to the Prime Minister and Home Secretary

Fewer than one in six doctors have started catching up on treatment backlogs caused by the lockdown, a major survey shows. The British Medical Association research also found that two thirds worry about how they will cope over the winter months amid high levels of stress. More than 4.2million patients are waiting for hospital treatment, including 111,000 for longer than a year. But the survey of 6,610 NHS doctors in England, carried out last week, found only 15 per cent had started tackling their lists.
