Two dog walkers in Bournemouth, Dorset, got a shock in the early hours (Picture: Andrew Matthews/PA Wire)
Police are on the lookout for a flasher who allegedly left dog walkers ‘distressed’ by exposing himself in a seaside town.
The suspect is said to have been wearing fishnets and a miniskirt when strolling down Granby Road in Bournemouth, Dorset, on Wednesday.
He allegedly indecently exposed himself to one woman at around 7am when she was walking her dog.
Then, at around 8am, Dorset Police say, he was spotted flashing himself at another woman as she walked her dog in the area.
A manhunt has now been launched, and police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward following two reports of indecent exposure.

An influencer has died after having penis filler injected in Thailand (Picture: Instagram/@ego2222)
A wealthy influencer died after undergoing penis enlargement surgery in Thailand.
Igho Ubiribo, 43, was injected with 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine at an unnamed Thai clinic in March, an inquest heard.
He was on holiday with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, at the time and staying at a Marriott hotel in Bangkok when he decided to have the op.
Penis filler can cost thousands and is becoming increasingly popular, despite warnings from medical professionals and surgeons of potentially devastating complications.
Ubiribo went for a massage after his procedure, and it was then that the British-Nigerian businessman started to complain of chest pain and passed out twice.
Ubiribo was taken to Sukhumvit Hospital by ambulance, where he was ‘able to answer questions normally’ while his wife informed medics of his filler injections.

His primary care doctor in London also confirmed his other medical history, including a past operation on his joints. He was pre-diabetic and had gout but no other health conditions.
He was recommended for a CT scan by Thai doctors, but he lost consciousness before it could be performed.
During an inquest, Inner West London Coroners’ Court heard that doctors determined Ubiribo had suffered a pulmonary embolism (a clot blocking a blood vessel in the lungs) and transferred him to intensive care.
CPR was performed for 100 minutes, but he died shortly after.
A postmortem in the UK later found material consistent with the penis filler in his lungs and concluded that the procedure caused his embolism.
In his report, pathologist John du Parcq said: ‘Cellular material found in Mr Ubiribo’s lungs matched the hyaluronic acid used in his penis filler jab, in keeping with a pulmonary embolism. This matches the Thai autopsy.’

The social media star was buried in a gold coffin (Picture: Facebook)
The social media personality’s funeral was held in Kensington, and he was buried in a gold coffin, reportedly costing over $600,000.
Mourners included his childhood friend and Nigerian Afrobeat star Davido, who spoke at the service and said the events ‘don’t feel real’, calling his death ‘heavy’.
‘A man of so much energy, so much presence. The silence is heavy. He is not someone I ever thought I would be speaking about in the past tense.’
Also known by the nicknames ‘Tiny’ and ‘Ego’, Ubiribo was known for showcasing his lavish lifestyle online, and he had 185k Instagram followers.
He spent much of his time at his $1.1million mansion in Los Angeles and had a Shepherd’s Bush apartment worth $600k.
His wife, whom he wed in Zimbabwe in 2022 in an extravagant ceremony, is an Anglo-Zimbabwean socialite and fashion designer.
Little Keeva was in hospital for two days (Picture: BNPS)
An eight-year-old girl had to be rushed to hospital after a family trip to the beach left her infected with a dangerous bacterium.
Keeva Hollow was swimming with her twin sister at Dorset’s Avon Beach when she was hit by a wave and swallowed seawater.
The next day she was lethargic, with a high temperature and no appetite, and her mum realised something was wrong.
Her mum, Aisling McCarthy said: ‘She used to swim all the time, a real water baby. But now I can’t see her ever going in the sea again; she is so scared of becoming sick again.’
Aisling had taken Keeva and her twin sister Cornelia to Avon Beach on August 3 when a wave hit Keeva and she began sputtering.

‘She came out and said she had swallowed a lot of water. Cornelia had not at all, and I didn’t worry too much at the time,’ she said.
‘But the next morning Keeva would not eat her breakfast. We were going to London, and she slept the whole journey. Her temperature was going up, and she just was not herself.’
After taking Keeva to an out-of-hours doctor, they took a urine sample and found there was blood in Keeva’s stool.
‘I had seen a documentary about sewage pollution in water, and I realised that Keeva’s symptoms were similar to those of a girl who died from polluted seawater. I told the doctor I was taking her to A&E and rushed there,’ she said.
‘Keeva was put on a drip while tests were carried out. She was so ill by then; she had deteriorated so quickly it was frightening.’
Aisling says her daughter isn’t back to her normal self yet (Picture: BNPS)
Keeva spent two days in hospital, where she was diagnosed with a Campylobacter infection.
Aisling said: ‘The hospital said it can be food poisoning as well but Keeva does not eat meat which is one of the main sources of that bacteria.
‘Her illness happened straight after the sea-swallowing incident at Avon Beach, and Cornelia has not been ill at all. I have a very clear memory of that moment when the wave hit Keeva, seeing her spluttering from swallowing the water. I am convinced that was what caused her to become so ill.’
Aisling says Keeva is still not back to full health, adding: ‘She was always a very sporty girl but she now gets out of breath quickly. She used to keep up with me on a 5km run, but now she struggles to do 1km.
‘She has lost a ton of weight, and her clothes are hanging off her. But the saddest thing is her fear of going into the sea.’
Aisling contacted Wessex Water, which manages wastewater and environmental protection for the River Stour, notifying them about Keeva and asking for any information on recent sewage leakages. But she has not received a reply yet.
BCP Council sent a letter to Aisling, having been notified by the hospital of Keeva’s infection, but the letter was focused on food poisoning, Aisling said.
‘I replied saying I believed it was seawater, not food, but they claimed they had had no other reports of people becoming ill from swimming in the sea,’ she said.
‘I was shocked by their attitude because surely, as a huge tourism area due to its beautiful beaches, BCP should be concerned about what has happened to Keeva. But they don’t appear to be.’
Recent tests of the River Stour, which flows into the sea at Christchurch, showed ‘extremely unsafe’ levels of E. coli.
Martin Stewart, managing director of Stewarts Garden Centres and chair of the Christchurch Harbour & Marine Society, said testing on August 19 showed E.coli levels of 300,000 – the safe bathing level is 1,000.
He also found several other concerning levels of bacteria in his samples. Aisling says her family’s idyllic life of living by the ocean has now been shattered.
The international territory is back in the news cycle(Picture: AFP)
Britain has said its commitment to the Falkland Islands is ‘absolute and unshakeable’ after Argentinian President Javier Milei said his country needed to take them back.
In a national address, Mr Milei reiterated the country’s claim to the islands and said he would impose sanctions on any oil companies operating in the area.
The renewed tensions over the British overseas territory came after President Donald Trump hinted the US would not help the UK in a future Falklands conflict.
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting wrote on social media: ‘Milei’s statement overnight tells us more about domestic politics in Argentina than it does about the Falkland Islands. The Falklands are British because Falkland Islanders choose to be British. Our commitment to the Falklands is absolute and unshakeable.’
A brief history of what’s happening

In a 2013 referendum, the Falkland Islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain a British overseas territory, with 99.8% voting in favour and just three votes against.
Although the US is formally neutral, Washington provided support for Britain’s campaign to retake the islands after the Argentinian invasion in 1982.
It sparked the Falklands War, which saw 255 British service deaths in just over 70 bloody days. It also led to the deaths of 655 Argentinians and three Falkland Islanders.
What is Argentina saying?
In his speech, Mr Milei said: ‘I want to be quite clear with everybody. The Falklands are Argentinian. Historically and legally. There can be no argument. They are part of the Argentine territory.
‘The islanders on their usurped territory do not have a legitimate right to self-determination, and any argument on any such self-determination is invalid.’
He said the UK was facing ‘multiple crises on multiple fronts’ and said he would sign decrees to introduce sanctions against any companies working on oil production in the area.
He added: ‘If we do not act swiftly in a few months, they will have the material capacity to access the oil that lies underneath our sea. Something that has never happened before.’
Does the UK have the power to defend the Falklands today?
During the 1982 conflict, an Argentinian bomb exploded on the HMS Antelope (Picture: PA)
Short answer – yes.
After the Falklands War ended, the UK built RAF Mount Pleasant south of the Falklands’ capital.
There are nearly 1,500 military personnel stationed on the Falklands at any given time, and the station has a detachment for small fighter jets, as well as a patrol ship.
Argentina, even with its mounting threats, doesn’t have the military power to take over the territory. Its flailing economy also poses issues if Milei were to choose military options.
Naval Technology notes that currently, the Royal Navy has no nuclear attack submarines at sea.
The UK would likely turn to the Royal Air Force if required to protect the overseas territory.
Why is Trump involved?
Yesterday, Trump said he wouldn’t back the UK in another fight over the Falklands (Picture: AP)
The US president on Thursday suggested he would not back the UK in a fight over the territory.
Asked in an interview if he would ‘come to the aid’ of the UK, the US president told GB News: ‘Well look, I was there when they had the first war. That was a long time ago, and I watched it so carefully, and you comported yourselves very well.
‘You took it back pretty strongly, but it’s a long way away. That’s a big trip; it’s a long way.’
But it’s not just Priya who Max is after, with the car salesman having made several plays since his return last year to win back Linda, who famously cheated on actual soulmate Mick (Danny Dyer) with Max six years ago.
Linda has attempted to resist his charms but the night before he puts a ring on Cindy’s finger, she admitted to having fallen for him, leaving Max questioning whether or not to go through with his nuptials.
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), meanwhile, learned of Priya’s pregnancy but has come to the conclusion that he’s the father. Devastated, Priya was unable to break his heart about her unborn child’s true parentage and thus kept shtum.
The stage has been set for a big Walford wedding week and if you’d like to know what’s to come on Monday then you’re in luck.
What happens next in EastEnders? New spoilers for Monday, September 7
The day of Max and Cindy’s and Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) and Howie Danes’ (Delroy Atkinson) weddings arrive. Max, however, has gone missing and the family are worried sick that he’s done a runner as they desperately try to locate him before the ceremony.
Cindy, meanwhile, is left devastated when she learns that most of Walford has opted to attend Kim and Howie’s nuptials instead of her and Max’s.
Max eventually surfaces and, still thinking about what happened the night before, he heads over to Peacock Palace to speak to Linda. Things, however, take a turn when Linda uncovers that Max has been having an affair with Priya and a row ensues.

Later, he heads to the car lot to speak to Priya, who is less than pleased to learn that he told Linda about their dalliance. Another argument erupts between the two, who are unaware that Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) has overheard the whole thing!
Appalled, Lauren refuses to attend the wedding.
There’s more animosity ahead for Max when he returns home to face Jack (Scott Maslen) and Oscar’s (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) wrath but attention is soon on getting him to the church on time.
Things go surprisingly to plan on this front, with Max and Cindy all set to exchange vows – that is, until Linda and Priya arrive. Spoilers for subsequent episodes confirm that chaos erupts at the wedding – will Linda and Priya spill the beans?

Kim is getting married too (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)
Kim, meanwhile, is upset that Denise (Diane Parish) is unable to attend the wedding but a gesture from Howie leaves her in good spirits. And with Denise emotional during the ceremony via video link, Howie makes a last-minute change to proceedings.
Elsewhere, Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) is back in Walford and she helps Kat (Jessie Wallace) spend time with Tommy (Sonny Kendall), who is worried about seeing Joel Marshall (Max Murray).

Kat, meanwhile, decides to skip the wedding and spend time with Zoe and later she speaks to Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter), hoping she can persuade Patrick (Rudolph Walker) to accept Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) as part of the family.

Readers discuss Trump renaming Lake Ontario, the government increasing GDP and the debate on cigarettes and vapes continues (Picture: PA)

Not quite the GDP this reader had in mind...
When the government said that it would increase GDP, little did we realise that they meant gas, diesel and petrol – because that’s what has really gone up. Ashfaq Bakali, Nuneaton
Trump’s latest antics don’t impress this reader
US president Donald Trump’s latest bizarre decree is that Lake Ontario will now be called Lake America (Metro.co.uk, Tue).
Well, if he can randomly rename places while no one listens to him and his empty threats, then I can do it, too.
I therefore declare that the River Thames has been renamed the River Ryan and everyone must call it that, or else I will wipe out a whole civilisation. Heck, why stop at bodies of water? London is now called Cooperville, the UK is now Ryanistan, and Planet Earth will now be known as Planet Cooper.
Otherwise you will suffer consequences the likes of which have never been seen before in human history, or perhaps ever, in the history of Planet Cooper! Make Ryanistan Great Again! Ryan Cooper, Cooperville
Litter isn’t considered enough
In the interesting discussion on vapes and whether they should be seen as preferable to cigarettes (MetroTalk, Tue) an important aspect was missed – litter.
Vapes and their wrappers are everywhere. It’s time to increase the price significantly by way of a deposit, which would ensure users return the empty device to the shop for disposal. Clark Cross, Linlithgow
Reader weighs in on unlimited screen time for kids
It was a relief to read Britt Jones’s approach to the time her children spend in front of screens (Metro, Wed). She says she and her husband allow their four and six-year-old to use tablets or watch TV for as long as they like, despite government guidance suggesting a limit of one hour a day for under-fives.
In our family, we let our children have unlimited cigarettes and refuse to be shamed by other parents for doing so. As soon as they wake up and want one, there is a cigarette ready for them. The high amount of sensory stimulation they provide means they can’t get enough and sometimes they have two cigarettes on the go at once.
Just like Britt’s kids and their screens, smoking together has really helped them bond with other kids, and they can smoke inside and outside, whenever they want to – there isn’t really any part of their life that smoking isn’t part of.
Despite official government guidance and overwhelming scientific evidence, I don’t believe there is any harm in it. Tom Davidson, via email
What about devolution?
The prime minister has been extolling the virtues of devolution once again. But what he overlooks is that it’ll likely lead to local and regional politicians allowing big business tycoons such as Elon Musk to devastate this green and pleasant land with data centres, new roads and all that will flow from new towns and yet more infrastructure protects.
Devolution is about giving power to those who pretend to represent the people while really they’re hand in glove with the construction and civil engineering industries.

Adults are the real victims of social media
Meta has agreed to pay up to $18billion (£13billion) to settle claims brought by 29 US states that its Facebook and Instagram platforms harmed children (Metro, Thu).
What about the adults? When I go out and about, the children are usually playing around with their friends.
It’s the adults who are staring at their phones like zombies on trains, or walking down the streets, crossing roads and going up and down stairs without looking up to see where they are going. Jane, Islington
This GP says vaping is not ‘better’ than smoking
An Oxford University-led review says vaping is a ‘viable option’ for people wanting to quit smoking and that they are safer than cigarettes (Metro, Wed).
I am a GP, and myself and many colleagues are concerned about the increasing rhetoric that vaping is ‘better’ or ‘safer’ than smoking.
I routinely ask patients about smoking and many will say, ‘Oh no, I’m not smoking’ only to discover they are ‘just vaping’. Vaping is as addictive and in some ways more concerning. The fun flavours, the refillable nature that means you can find it hard to keep track of how much you are using and the apparent targeting of young adolescents – NHS survey data suggests almost one in four 11 to 15-year-olds have tried vaping.
The risks are not limited to lung damage. Many patients who struggle with sleep are often shocked that nicotine in their vapes is well known to disrupt and affect sleep quality.
Many websites give the impression nicotine can be taken safely for years without mentioning the numerous effects it has on the whole body, from your heart rate to your digestion.
We should be looking to implement some of the measures Australia has made – restricting flavours, making some therapeutic vapes a prescription item and tightening the regulations.
Meanwhile, the public message should always be that both smoking and vaping are harmful. Dr Noorani, GP, London
‘The best way to stop is to never start’
Vapes may help some people quit but by far the best way to stop is to never start.
That’s why the Tobacco and Vapes Act (banning anyone born in 2009 or later from buying nicotine products of any kind) is so important.
Unfortunately, because our politicians have distracted themselves with early elections and leadership battles, it now won’t come into force until next year, by which point lots of people will become addicted to nicotine.
But what’s worse is that Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch want to do away with the ban, which would cost us dearly in both lives and money and take us right back to square one. Charlie Parrett, Stoke
Resident joker makes return
I am a superstitious boxer – I always have a horseshoe in my glove… Jeff, Nuneaton
Praise for Jeff
I was speaking to an elderly gentleman in the pub the other night and his name was Jeff (with a J). He’s from Nuneaton.
I asked him if he was indeed the Jeff from Nuneaton who writes in to your letters page with the wittiest of jokes that brighten my mornings at work.
He assured me he was not Jeff from Nuneaton and that he is another Jeff from Nuneaton.
So, to Jeff from Nuneaton, keep up the good work. Your witty little asides brighten my days. Neil, Leicester

Spurs have made an enquiry to sign Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk on loan (Picture: Getty)
Tottenham are reportedly working on a deal to sign Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk on loan.
Mudryk was given the green light to play again after his doping ban was resolved last month and the 25-year-old made his return in Chelsea’s pre-season friendly with Juventus.
But Mudryk has not featured in any of the Blues’ three opening matches against Fulham, Luton and Brighton, meaning he has not played competitively since as far back as November 2024.
Chelsea’s hierarchy have decided that Mudryk should be allowed to seek opportunities elsewhere, with Xabi Alonso unable to guarantee the winger regular first-team football at Stamford Bridge this season.

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Chelsea’s bitter rivals Spurs have been alerted to the situation and enquiries have been made with a view to taking the Ukraine international on loan.
Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi previously worked with Mudryk at Shakhtar Donetsk and is keen to be reunited with the forward in north London as the club scour the market for further attacking reinforcements.
The club have already bolstered their frontline with the addition of Savio and Omar Marmoush from Manchester City – the latter joining on a season-long loan – this summer.

Spurs have also been linked with the likes of Cody Gakpo and Iliman Ndiaye in recent weeks and are determined to strengthen on the left wing before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
Leeds were credited with a strong interest in Mudryk earlier this month but Chelsea reportedly knocked back an approach which would have seen the attacker move to Elland Road.
Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg have been mooted as another possibility for Mudryk, who currently finds himself in a state of limbo.
Up Next
Mudryk joined Chelsea in a high-profile £89million move from Shakhtar Donetsk back in January 2023 and has badly struggled to live up to that price tag over the last three-and-a-half years.
In that time, Mudryk has managed a total of just ten goals and 11 assists in all competitions for the Blues.
Mudryk was, though, a part of Chelsea’s squad that won the Europa Conference League two seasons ago under Enzo Maresca. He also picked up a runners-up medal in the Carabao Cup a year earlier.
Mudryk’s Chelsea contract runs through to 2031 (Picture: Reuters)
The Ukrainian has five years remaining on his current contract in west London.
‘I’m really pleased for him,’ Alonso said after Mudryk made his return in Chelsea’s pre-season clash with Juventus at the start of the month.
‘It was emotional for everyone from the club to see him back, especially when I told him that before the game that was my idea, that he could play 10-15 minutes.
‘He was thrilled, for sure. It was, after such a long period, to be back on the pitch, it was a great feeling for him and a great feeling for everyone as well.’
