A British tourist whose boyfriend was shot dead in one of Australia's most notorious murders has relived her horrific ordeal. Joanne Lees (left) and Peter Falconio (pictured right with his partner) were travelling in a Kombi van towards Darwin on a remote highway when they were flagged down by Bradley Murdoch (inset) in 2001.

At his heaviest, he was five stone overweight. But Chris Moyles (pictured before, left) has shed that excess bulk over the last few years; and he proved that he's kept the weight off when he stepped out to join Jamie Oliver at the opening of his new restaurant on Thursday night. The breakfast DJ struck a rather defiant pose with pal Jamie outside Piccadilly-based Barbecoa on Wednesday evening, and looked positively unrecognisable compared to his former self. The 42-year-old (right, with Jamie Oliver) wore a white T-shirt, a navy blue blazer and black skinny jeans, along with casual converse trainers in black and white.

Thanks to changing attitudes to child bereavement, as well as the CuddleCot - which contains an electric cooling system attached to a mat to keep the body temperature low - mothers are taking their babies home to care for them in the days before their funerals. Often concealed in bassinets to give the appearance of a living baby sleeping, CuddleCots enable parents to spend time with their child before their final parting. The baby can be held, dressed and taken for walks like a living child. The widespread use of the device came to light when 21-year-old Charlotte Szakacs and her husband Attila, 28, from York, told how they had used the equipment to care for their daughter Evelyn for two weeks after she died due to a chromosome disorder a month after birth (right, when she was gravely ill).
