Sir Tom Jones has reportedly struck up a romantic relationship with Priscilla Presley. The Welsh star, 76, is said to be 'courting' the 71-year-old actress, who was married to rock 'n' roll icon Elvis Presley, almost a year after his wife Linda died of cancer. A source said: 'Tom and Priscilla are courting. There is a spark between them but they are taking it slowly. It really is early days but they get on so well.'

Tara Palmer Tomkinson has been found dead at her London home following a battle with a brain tumour. Workmen in her building said they had not seen her since a 'loud bang' came from her flat. The 45-year-old former It girl revealed in November she had been receiving treatment for a non-malignant growth in her pituitary gland. Police were called to a flat near Earl's Court shortly before 2pm this afternoon and found the former model dead. Her family have been told. Palmer-Tomkinson rose to fame in the 1990s as a party-loving socialite in London's celebrity circle. She made headlines with a £400-a-day cocaine addiction, which left her needing septum reconstruction surgery in 2006. The socialite was close to Prince Charles and had a close relationship with the Royal Family. She attended William and Kate's wedding.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson was found dead in her London flat yesterday aged 45, after a life in the spotlight from skiing with Prince Charles to making a big impression at glitzy parties around the world. A regular on the London party scene in the 1990s and 2000s, Miss Palmer-Tomkinson frequently hit the headlines with her extravagant lifestyle and revealing outfits. She had a well-documented battle with cocaine, spending up to £400 a day at the height of her addiction before heading to rehab and reinventing herself as a reality television star.

From the moral high ground that Gary Lineker so resolutely occupies, he enjoys a crystal clear view of world affairs. Brexit Britain is a 'dystopian land' where the decision by voters to leave the EU makes him 'feel ashamed of my generation'. He has tweeted a number of times and protested against Donald Trump (top inset and right). Public attitudes to refugees can be 'hideously racist and utterly heartless'. Nigel Farage is 'disgusting'. Iain Duncan Smith is an 'irritable dunce'. Then at the weekend, he went into bat against an old foe - popular newspapers (bottom left inset), which had exhibited the temerity to reveal that David Beckham's efforts to manipulate the honours system had been stymied by his equally vigorous attempts to avoid paying tax. Yet one important area of Lineker's life is curiously absent. It also, coincidentally, has almost never been properly addressed in his public statements, or endless commentary on social media. Namely: His colourful tax affairs.

Former US President Barack Obama (top row, right) has become the latest big name to enjoy Sir Richard Branson's hospitality at his personal paradise, Necker Island (inset), in the Caribbean. Necker is a party island, beloved of the celebrity hoi polloi, from Kates Moss and Winslet to ex-Baywatch star David Hasselhoff and the odd royal, global guru or head of state who fancies a freebie. Anyone, in fact, who doesn't mind sharing a hot tub with the host for obligatory selfies (pictured top with Harry Styles, far left, and Sir Richard, second right), or being snapped joshing around with him on the beach or in the water - and then seeing those photographs shared with millions. (Also pictured are: top row from left: Kate Winslet with Sir Richard and his mother Eve and Ronnie Wood and David Hasselhoff; bottom row from left: Princess Diana with Princes Harry and William in 1990, Mariah Carey and Kelly Brook)

Anton Pilipa trekked across two continents, walking mostly barefoot with just the clothes on his back, after he disappeared from his Vancouver home in 2012. His family spent years desperately searching for the former humanitarian worker, who suffers from suspected schizophrenia, and had almost given up hope when they got a call out of the blue. A Brazilian cop spotted Pilipa, who she initially mistook for a beggar, shuffling down a dirt track in bare feet, and dirty, unwashed Bermuda shorts and a vest. He had no passport, without without any form of identification.

Madonna has confirmed the adoption of twin sisters from Malawi with a picture on Instagram. Madonna's new twin daughters are 'very happy' and 'very excited' as they prepare to board a private jet to their new life in America, their government guardian has revealed. Malawian orphans Stella and Esther, four, pictured above, walked hand in hand with the 58-year-old star out of court yesterday after a judge yesterday approved her application to become their mother. Court appointed guardian Dominic Misomali told MailOnline: 'You could see the love she had for them in her face and she was already a mother to them. The girls are very happy and very excited about what is happening to them.' Madonna had been trying to adopt the girls for two years and made previous visits to the nation to visit them.

Meghan Dixon, 18, from Enderby in Leicestershire, interviewed for a part-time waitress position at a new branch of Miller and Carter steakhouse and received a blunt text just moments after she left. Meghan criticised interviewer Shantel Wesson for her behaviour through the question session and said she was shocked to receive the text when she had been told it would be a few days before she would hear anything about the role. The steakhouse chain has vowed to investigate and explained the texts were meant for the manager and not the candidate.

Two years ago, when she was 48 and her daughter Gabriella (pictured) four, Sophie
Sabbage (also pictured), from Kent, felt a sudden, sharp pain in her shoulder and she knew - just knew - that it was serious. She added: 'Three weeks later, John and I sat, stunned, in a consulting room, as we heard I had incurable lung cancer. We would learn, in the ensuing weeks, that it had spread to my lymph nodes, bones and brain.'

Shocking footage shows a killer hit and run driver mounting the pavement and speeding through red lights after mowing down a father-of-three. Shahid Tarafdar, 45, had to be rushed to Manchester Royal Infirmary by ambulance after being struck by the silver Peugeot 306, but died later that night.

Vogue magazine has been accused of digitally altering the new cover featuring supermodels Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Ashley Graham. The March issue claims to celebrate beauty of 'all types' and also features fellow models Adwoa Aboah, Liu Wen, Vittoria Ceretti, and Imaan Hammam . But social media users claimed Gigi's hand, which is placed near Ashley's waist, looks unusually long.

Ivanka Trump's beleaguered fashion brand has taken another kicking after the bosses of TJ Maxx and Marshalls demanded stores throw out her advertisements and take down her special displays. Last week workers at the chains - which are both owned by TJX Companies - were told that her products would no longer hold pride of place in the stores (the picture on the right dates from December, before the memo was sent and was posted by a #GrabYourWallet supporter). 'Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into [other products on the racks],' the note, leaked to The New York Times, read. 'All Ivanka Trump signs should be discarded.' It's yet another blow for the socialite's business, which has already been dropped entirely by a string of retailers, including luxury chains Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, as a major anti-Trump boycott continues.

Amanda Tompkins admitted having sex and performing sex acts with her victims - knowing they were underage - for months at her home in Bletchley in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. The 39-year-old's upcoming trial by jury was abandoned as she admitted 10 counts of sexual and physical abuse on seven boys under 16. Aylesbury Crown Court heard she twice invited three boys into her bedroom where she would have sex and perform sex acts with them. She also attempted sexually assaulting another boy and had sex with one of the group alone in her living room on separate occasions in February.

Patricia Whitehouse (inset), 62, from Stoke-on-Trent, visited her GP seven times in two months complaining of back pain. She was also seen by nurses, a physiotherapist, paramedics and hospital doctors but was repeatedly sent away with painkillers for a twisted spine. The former charity project manager who ran her own crafting business, described on the video (main) how she had asked a locum GP for an X-ray to get to the root of her back pain, but was dismissed with an explanation that 'X-rays don't show everything'. The bed-bound patient added: 'The doctors have failed me, the NHS has failed me.'

The villa, immortalised by the 1993 film Schindler's List, is where Nazi sadist Amon Göth lived while he was Kraków-Paszów death camp commander, before his execution for genocide in 1946. Twice married Göth kept two Jewish maids prisoner in the basement, whom he tortured and abused. The property, in southern Poland, is at the centre of an extraordinary row involving the new owner Artur Niemyski who is renovating it for his family to move in. Jewish campaigners want it turned into a museum. Göth once killed a Jewish boy because he didn't ask permission to leave the room. He stabbed one of his maids in the leg because she didn't set enough places at the dinner table. The monster once threatened to shoot Jews working on a road next to his garden from the balcony, inset left. The scene was adapted for 1993 film Schindler's List, where Ralph Fiennes played him, inset right.

A massive genome-wide study in the United States has revealed a 'historical portrait' of post-colonial population patterns across the country. In the study, researchers identified 'clusters' - or genetic communities - using data from more than 770,000 people born or currently living in the US. The study highlights the ancestral origins and migration patterns for specific groups to reveal the many different genetic communities Americans belong to. The map above shows the distribution of ancestral birth locations associated with these clusters.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Anna Nicole Smith's mother Virgie Arthur (at left with her daughter and granddaughter Dannielynn) spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com in a poignant interview on the tenth anniversary of the Playboy's model's death. Arthur recalled the wild antics of her 'beautiful, funny' child, who she calls by her birth name Vickie Lynn, and who she believes the world never really knew. Drugs, she said, are what turned Vickie into Anna. 'You could tell the difference between Anna Nicole and Vickie Lynn. Anna was very mean, I don't know how to explain her. On drugs, she was a terrible person to be around,' Arthur said. The grandmother broke down as she spoke of the devastating loss of Smith's son, Daniel (above and below right with Anna Nicole and her first husband), who also died of a drug overdose five months before his mother - and how she hopes to be closer to her granddaughter. Above right, Anna Nicole with millionaire octogenarian husband Howard Marshall.

Families from all around the world have opened their albums to reveal the hilarious mishaps that occurred when they tried to get that perfect shot - and from failed proposals to hungry seagulls (inset), they certainly make for some entertaining viewing. Clockwise from top left: A grandma found herself at the centre of a group of topless men on a raucous night out; two children pose in front of a somewhat unfortunate backdrop; one man couldn't stop himself from spewing all over his friend on a rollercoaster ride; and it all got a bit too much for this toddler at Disney World.

These are the amazing images showing life on board one of Hitler's most unsuccessful submarines, U-976. The U-Boat, which was launched in 1943 was sunk shortly before D-Day by a flight of two RAF Mosquito fighter-bombers. However, the boat's First Officer Lieutenant Wilhelm Hinrichs kept a fascinating photographic album of the submarine, which is now coming up for auction in Maryland.

The footage was filmed in Yeovil and posted on Facebook by shopper Sam Fran. It shows the star loading shopping into to his car parked in a motorcycle bay at a supermarket. When confronted Clunes said he 'didn't care' that he wasn't allowed to park there.

A family of six is attempting to go 12 months without buying groceries.The Harvey family (pictured), from New Zealand, grow their own produce and receive pantry staples and meat through trade.They started the frugal food lifestyle after Lydia and Matt Harvey's youngest son was diagnosed with coeliac disease. They cut gluten and dairy out of their diet, and started to look at just what was in the food they bought each day.

Kate Chubb, 52, said she erected the two-metre tall wooden structure on the western edge of her six-acre plot to protect cows. But her neighbours Anthony and Janice Hemms say the fence comes within four inches of three of their windows of their cottage in St Catherine, near Bath in Somerset. Ms Chubb said the fence was needed to stop the animals who graze her land, from potentially harming themselves by coming into contact with the windows as they shelter. Mr and Mrs Hemms say they once had an attractive view across fields but can now see nothing but the fence.

A mystery creature with features similar to a tree kangaroo and a cat has got social media talking after it was captured on night vision camera north Sydney. The animal has stumped people posting on social media who are yet to decide what it could be.

Three Malayan tiger cubs (left) were born on Friday at the Cincinnati Zoo. The adorable cubs are currently being cared for by staff in the zoo's nursery after their mother rejected them at birth. First-time mother Cinta's maternal instincts 'didn't kick in', according to the zoo's website. Now, nursery staffers are keeping the cubs warm (bottom right) and feeding them (top right) so the their body temperatures won't get too low without their mother's warmth. Zoo officials said it's not 'uncommon' for first-time tiger moms to reject their young and sometimes the mothers can be aggressive and even harm or kill their young. The cubs will be moved to Cat Canyon when they're weaned and no longer require constant care. Visitors should be able to see them in their outdoor habitat in early spring. There are fewer than 500 Malayan tigers left in the world. Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction, fragmentation and poaching. Cincinnati Zoo is committed to ensuring the survival of endangered tigers.

One particular dog was caught on camera enjoying himself as he jumped up and down on his owner's trampoline. The short seven-second video sees the border collie leaping for joy as he pounds from one side of the trampoline to the other.
