‘Hero’ mum was celebrating anniversary on trip where she drowned saving sons

Leanne Gregory, 36, died after her two sons were swept away by a strong current in Bimini on Tuesday

A mum was celebrating her 10th wedding anniversary when she drowned trying to save her sons from being swept out to sea.

Leanne Gregory and husband Nathan booked the trip to the Bahamas for themselves and their two boys as an early celebration of their anniversary in December, he revealed.

But when a riptide dragged the two boys out to sea on Tuesday morning, their parents rushed in after them.

While both boys were saved, Leanne, 36, was pulled from the water unresponsive and later pronounced dead.

Speaking on Sunday, Nathan explained how Leanne was his ‘childhood sweetheart’ and ‘soulmate’ who he’d been with for 22 years.

‘I’ve known her since infant school,’ he told the BBC.

‘We first got together when we were 14… so 22 years.’

Nathan, who has since returned with his boys to their family home in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, said the whole ordeal happened in less than 10 minutes.

Leanne and Nathan Gregory were ‘childhood sweethearts’ who had known each other since infant school, he said

Beforehand, the boys had been snorkelling in shallow water as their parents sorted out their towels and bags on the beach in Bimini, Nathan revealed.

When they got into difficulties, Leanne did everything to save her children and, despite Nathan’s trying to resuscitate her, she never regained consciousness.

She was later taken to hospital, where she was sadly pronounced dead, the Royal Bahamas Police Force said.

Paying tribute to his late wife, Nathan said that the pain of losing her was ‘unimaginable’, but she was a ‘hero… in life and in death’.

‘There are no words I can use to describe Leanne,’ he said.

‘She was the purest of people, the most generous, kind and beautiful person who ever walked the earth.

‘She was the perfect mother’

‘Our relationship was perfect. She was the perfect mother. The perfect wife. The foundation of our entire family.’

Nathan also said that Royal Caribbean and Virgin Airlines had been ‘absolutely incredible’ and ‘made an impossible journey home so much easier’.

He has now vowed to keep ‘strong for his boys’ and said a GoFundMe page to support the family had raised nearly £9,000.

More tributes have also been paid to the family since the tragedy.

Richard MacRae, who represents Stapleford North at Broxtowe Borough Council, said: ‘It’s heartbreaking when something tragic happens and people have got young kids involved. It is just a different level.

‘My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends and the wider community.’

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: ‘Our thoughts are with the family of a British woman who has died in the Bahamas.

‘We are in contact with the local authorities and providing support to her family.’

In a statement posted on social media, the Royal Bahamas Police Force said an autopsy would be conducted but ‘foul play is not suspected’.

France riots in pictures: Protests of 400,000 descend into anarchy as police fire tear gas

Protests have descended into riots across France this weekend (Picture: Romeo Boetzle/AFP via Getty Images)

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in cities across France this weekend, with some 70,000 officers deployed, equipped with tear gas and water cannons.

Powerful pictures show protesters clashing with officers just days after some of the worst unrest the country has seen in decades.

Last weekend, hundreds of arrests were made as peaceful protests descended into arson, looting, and physical violence, which French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said there is ‘no place’ for.

Initially, student-led demonstrations demanded better public school building conditions and action against teacher shortages, budget constraints, and overcrowding in classrooms, with staff, parents, lawyers, and emergency service workers joining in solidarity.

Further unrest then stemmed from anger towards rising living costs and fuel prices, with reports that over half a million citizens had gathered in defiance of President Emmanuel Macron’s government.

Ultimately, the protests were overshadowed by riots, which led to buildings being vandalised, town halls being taken over, and 500 businesses being damaged.

But that was far from the end, as the likelihood of returning rioters forced the interior ministry to heighten security measures and impose restrictions today.

This followed criticism from opposing parties that the government failed to prepare for the scale of last week’s disorder, which resulted in 2,700 arrests and, as of Thursday, 217 convictions in fast-track trials.

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said: ‘We will not let anything go unchallenged.

‘We will be uncompromising with the vandals, with the looters, and all those who commit acts of violence.’

As well as the planned protests, authorities were anticipating separate instances of violence, with Nuñez noting calls for violence from the ‘far left and radical extreme left’ on social media.

Interior Ministry official Jean-Didier Berger said there would be a 20% increase in police deployments compared to last weekend, with forces backed by helicopters, while curfews were implemented and extended until Monday in parts of Paris.

Partial curfews through the week also restricted movement of young people in cities such as Marseille, Bordeaux, Nice, and Lyon, and Macron had plans to divert demonstrations organised by groups such as trade unions over the weekend in a bid to protect businesses.

The Louvre, Orsay, and Picasso museums have been closed, and landmarks like the Arc de Triomphe have been guarded amid concerns raised by some officers, who told French media they are not trained to deal with such large crowds.

At least 135 people have been arrested today, with many detained found carrying fireworks, ball bearings, and various items to be used as weapons.

Nearly 800 protests comprising over 400,000 people were planned across France today alone, 110,000 of which marched in Paris, with the unravelling swiftly beginning as individuals wearing hoods and face coverings kicked off.

Grenades were launched, to which riot gear-clad police responded with tear gas.

Cops later turned water hoses on the gangs to disperse them.

Chaotic scenes unfolded even in protest-banned zones, such as the Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux, despite a city-wide shutdown and public transport cancellations.

Police ordered the dispersal of several hundred people in Nice after they gathered at Place Masséna, where demonstrations were also prohibited.

Trade unions have criticised the protest bans, arguing that they violate freedoms of expression.

The crisis comes as centrist Macron enters the final stretch of his presidency.

His second term, which began on May 14, 2022, is scheduled to end on May 13, 2027.

Miranda Hart reveals where she stands with Joanne McNally after Celebrity Traitors clash

Joanne McNally described the episode as ‘the one where I snapped at’ Miranda Hart (Picture: BBC)

Miranda Hart has clarified that there is no bad blood between her and Joanne McNally after an awkward roundtable clash on Celebrity Traitors.

The scenes aired during Thursday evening’s episode of the BBC game of wink murder, in which a mission put the cat among the pigeons and left Miranda suspicious of Joanne.

During the challenge, the trio of Traitors were tasked with creeping around the Faithful to try and disrupt their construction of shields.

Given that the mission unfolded in a rickety lair, with creaking wooden floorboards, Miranda reported that she had felt the floor wobbling beneath her. 

While actual Traitor Maya Jama was to her right, it was Joanne on her left that Miranda subsequently started eyeing up – something she raised ahead of the roundtable.

But Joanne was clearly unhappy with the assertion and turned it back to say it made her suspicious of Miranda.

When Miranda later told the roundtable her so-called floorboard theory had been ‘debunked’, Joanne took issue with her decision to raise it at all.

The exchanges prompted some BBC viewers to label Joanne’s reaction a bit much – but the comedian has since defended herself, and Miranda has said she never took issue with anything that unfolded.

Taking to her Instagram Stories after the episode aired, Joanne described the episode as ‘the one where I snapped at Miranda at the table’.

She went on to defend herself, saying: ‘Was it my finest moment? No. Did the tension of the roundtable and the general gaslighting get into my head in that moment? Yes it did. 

Miranda has said she never took issue with anything that unfolded (Picture: BBC/Studio Lambert/Euan Cherry)

‘What can you do? It is a game about gaslighting. It’s a funny game to navigate. Rest assured, me and Miranda have laughed about it since.’

Miranda also took to her Stories and wrote, ‘Love this woman’ over a clip of Joanne explaining her haphazard approach to the game.

In another post, Miranda wrote of the roundtable exchange: ‘It’s so funny to me that people are saying that you snapped. Next felt like that. Was never stressed. And actually we chinked glasses and laughed on the night,’ with kissing emojis to round it off.

Celebrity Traitors returns on Thursday at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Gang jailed after being caught tunnelling in to jewellery shop

Up Next

A gang that attempted to tunnel into a jeweller’s in south London was linked to more than £700,000 of burglaries.

Members of an organised crime group were caught digging into a jewellery store on Mitcham Road in Tooting just after 3am on July 17.

Video footage recorded from body-worn cameras showed how the gang had broken into a massage parlour with the intention of tunnelling their way into the jewellers next door.

One suspect, Laurentiu-Daniel Nitisoara, was arrested by officers in a nearby alleyway, while Ioan Asafeti was handcuffed after being found hiding on a rooftop.

A third gang member, Sergiu Plastin, was detained later the same day as he attempted to flee the country on a flight to Ireland from Stansted, having been tracked by a flying squad to the Essex airport via mobile phone data.

Officers found tools and equipment discarded by the gang, which were used to dig the passageway between the two shops.

The group were linked to more than £700,000 of burglaries from shops across the capital.

Enquiries through Interpol found the group had possible links to similar offences in Europe.

The trio appeared at Kingston Crown Court today after admitting in August to charges of conspiracy to commit burglary with intent to steal and cause criminal damage.

Asafeti, 39, was jailed for four years and 10 months, while Plastin, 42, was given a sentence of three years and four months.

Nitisoara, 38, was handed a two-year jail sentence.

Male stripper event in sleepy town turns into ‘Roman orgy’ — it’s becoming the norm

UK Pleasure Boys performed to a ‘very lively’ crowd in Banbury United’s clubhouse (Picture: John Woodward)

A semi-professional football club in a sleepy Oxfordshire town has been forced to apologise this week, after hosting a male stripper night which turned into a ‘Roman orgy’.

In a statement on its website, Banbury United FC addressed circulating video footage of a UK Pleasure Boys show held in its Spencer Clubhouse on Saturday.

‘The images suggest that part of the performance towards the end went beyond what we find acceptable at our venue,’ it explained. ‘We apologise to anyone in attendance who was offended.’

Billed as the ‘ultimate girls’ night out’, the group’s 18+ Wet ’n’ Wild event promised ‘sizzling dance ­routines, ‘raunchy sets’ and audience participation.

However, it seems some took the final element a little too far, with clips shared on social media apparently showing ‘inappropriate’ sexual acts between performers and crowd members.

While we’re not prudes here at Metro, in our bid to work out exactly what went down on that fateful night, we keep coming up against roadblocks; as evidence is removed or deleted within moments of appearing online, we can only assume things got pretty X-rated.

The club has apologised to ‘anyone in attendance who was offended’ (Picture: Getty)

One local who claims to have witnessed this wrote on Facebook: ‘I was expecting the Full Monty with maybe a little flash of something at the end, but honestly I left traumatised.’

‘It actually went too far,’ added another. ‘Some women are feral.’

Others were more positive, including one female attendee who described the evening as ‘an absolute laugh,’ writing: ‘Yes, some parts of it were like wooah, but it clearly stated strippers. The lads were absolutely fantastic.’

UK Pleasure Boys’ promoter John Woodward told The Sun this weekend’s Banbury audience were admittedly ‘very lively’, but although things had been ‘more heated than usual,’ ‘there was a great atmosphere.’

‘It isn’t clear how or what got out of hand, or if it was the women or the men who got too heated,’ he added. ‘We are looking into it.’

Double standards?

While certain people may wish what happened in the clubhouse could have stayed in the clubhouse, online commentary over it has only ramped up in the days since.

But where some called scenes ‘grim’, ‘horrendous’ and ‘awful’, many took a different outlook on this risqué revue turned ‘Roman orgy’.

‘At the end of the day, they were all consenting adults,’ commented one Banbury resident, while another wrote: ‘I’m just sorry I didn’t go.’

Where women may have once seen male striptease shows as campy, low-budget sleaze, the industry has undergone a huge makeover in recent years, with over 900,000 tickets sold for Magic Mike Live in London and companies like Dreamboys and Forbidden Nights running weekly events around the country.

According to psychologist Emma Kenny, this trend is partly driven by the fact these environments actively encourage women ‘to express desire and enjoy themselves without feeling they have to be restrained or demure.’

‘Marketing matters, too,’ she tells Metro. ‘Packaging sexual entertainment within a familiar social occasion helps make attending feel more ordinary and acceptable.’

POLL

Do you think male stripper events are becoming too extreme?

• Yes, they are crossing boundaries.
• No, it's all in good fun.
• It depends on the event and how it's handled.

In many ways, after centuries of being objectified, it’s a good thing women feel comfortable openly owning and embracing their sexuality.

However, this sense of novelty can cause things to get out of hand.

Emma explains: ‘People take cues from those around them. If somebody does something increasingly outrageous and receives laughter, cheers and encouragement, others may start to interpret that response as permission to go further.

‘The apparent boundaries of what is acceptable can shift within the room.’

Alcohol naturally also factors into a dynamic where lines can be crossed here — not to mention the ‘persistent stereotype that men always welcome sexual attention, while women are assumed to be less threatening.’

‘That can lead people to interpret unwanted behaviour towards a man as flattering, funny or harmless,’ Emma continues.

‘If someone is being grabbed, pressured or touched without consent, describing it as a bit of fun does not make it acceptable.

‘Being paid to perform does not mean being paid to have no boundaries. That principle should apply equally to men and women.’

That said, Emma does add that ‘consensual audience participation should not automatically be treated as misconduct simply because an observer finds it shocking’.

What’s actually allowed at strip shows

In terms of UK Pleasure Boys specifically, promoter John Woodward told Oxford Mail: ‘It’s pretty clear to the guys that no sexual activities are acceptable at our show, and that’s not standard stuff we would expect to happen.

‘If there’s a specific performer that’s done something you’re not supposed to, the performer would be taken out of the show.’

A number of similar performing groups have policies like this. However, where licensed ‘sexual entertainment venues’ (SEVs) are subject to a local authority’s rules for what’s allowed, this isn’t the case with those that tour.

SEVs in Bromley, for example, must agree to ensure no ‘indecent behaviour, including sexual intercourse’ takes place on their premises.

Meanwhile, North West Leicestershire Council stipulates ‘no audience participation shall be permitted’, nor should any physical contact between customers and dancers, ‘with the exception of shaking hands with a customer and/or leading a customer by the hand from a seated area to a booth for a private dance.’

Max comeuppance ‘confirmed’ amid Zoe twist and Cindy grins as EastEnders spoilers reveal what’s next

Cindy has Max right where she wants him now – and he’s going down! (Picture: BBC / Metro)

Max Branning (Jake Wood) will rue the day he made an enemy of Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) in EastEnders as she successfully stumbled upon the information needed to destroy him.

Walford’s resident lothario has been making enemies for decades due to the countless families he’s torn apart and various affairs he’s conducted behind loved ones’ backs.

The lates in a long line of women he’s wronged is Cindy, who has a proven history of taking revenge on those who attempt to get one over on her – and therefore she wasn’t planning on letting Max away with turning her life upside down.

With Cinders standing in the way of him securing an annulment, Max tasked Oscar (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) with getting her admitting on tape that they never consummated their marriage.

Oscar reluctantly accepted the challenge but his efforts were thwarted when Cindy instead discovered that Max was the one who left Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) to die.

With Kat (Jessie Wallace) out for the blood of the man who left her beloved daughter to perish, Cindy now has the leverage she needs to take Max for all that he’s got.

Go get him, Cindy!

If you’re eager to know what’s next then you’re in luck as I’ve got a breakdown of tomorrow’s episode.

What happens next in EastEnders? New spoilers for Thursday, October 22

With Cindy having Max right where she wants him, the question is: just what will she do next? In tomorrow’s episode, she demands answers from him.

Will Max confess? And regardless, will Cindy take the information to grieving Kat, who will no doubt want revenge on Max after what he’s done?

The episode in question proves a tough one for Max as problems mount for the businessman when HMRC catches up with him over his New Zealand property.

Will Cindy get the answers she needs? (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)

Elsewhere, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) has a new outlook on life due to his friendship with Ned Hawkins (Jamie Bamber) but Lauren remains suspicious of the influence the newcomer has on her stepdad and thus she does some digging

What will she uncover?

Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega), meanwhile, starts to question Amy Mitchell’s (Ellie Dadd) version of events after she claimed that she leaked his private pictures.

Amy avoids answering his questions but will Denzel work out that Craig Ingram (Matthew James Bailey) was behind it all this whole time?

EastEnders airs these scenes Thursday October 22 at 7:30pm on BBC One or stream from 6am on BBC iPlayer.

Student admits murder of housemate stabbed 30 times in ‘cold-blooded execution’

Up Next

A student who waited for his housemate in hiding before stabbing him has admitted to killing him.

Jamie Collins, 21, died in the garden of the home he shared with housemate Zack Coughlan, 23, in Filton, South Gloucestershire.

The robotics student at UWE Bristol was ambushed in the alleyway and stabbed repeatedly on the evening of April 8 by Coughlan, dressed in all-black and wearing a mask.

The attack, described as a ‘carefully planned and cold-blooded execution’ by the prosecution, was caught on CCTV, which Mr Collins’s brazen killer showed to the police after they arrived.

Bristol Crown Court heard how Coughlan left him dying outside at about 6pm as he cycled away on his housemate’s bike.

Coughlan, also a robotics student, had first denied the murder charge before changing his plea to guilty today.

It comes after Mr Justice Linden ruled that Coughlan’s partial defence of manslaughter by reason of loss of control could not be left to the jury to consider as part of their murder charge deliberations.

The two students lived in the £300,000 three-bedroom house owned by Coughlan, and were both in their final year.

After cycling away from the crime scene, Coughlan dumped the ride at a retail park and bought a change of clothes.

His bloodstained clothes were stuffed into bags weighed down with bricks before he threw them into a pond.

He returned to the shared house on Cleve Road at about 9pm, where he popped a pizza in the oven before gaming with friends.

Eventually at about 2am, he called 999 claiming he just discovered his housemate in the rear garden.

The 23-year-old was first treated as a witness before detectives found his blood on Mr Collins’s bike, and his mobile phone data matched the killer’s movements.

Clothes recovered from the lake were found containing blood and Coughlan’s DNA.

The brazen killer told a university friend he wanted to organise a memorial for Mr Collins after the murder.

The student’s family described him as a ‘caring young man’ who was deeply passionate about equality and that ‘his unapologetic inclusivity will be his legacy for all of us.’

He was just two pieces of coursework away from graduating at the time of his death.

The family said: ‘Our family has been sickened that Zack Coughlan pretended to help Jamie when in fact he is responsible for killing him.

‘We even felt sympathy for Zack at the start, and asked police if he was okay, because of how he had initially deceived everyone.’

Coughlan will be sentenced tomorrow morning.

Moment hero builder duels with samurai swordsman using just his spirit level

Up Next

A have-a-go hero managed to fend off a man armed with a samurai sword using only his spirit level.

Aaron Messenbird, 32, was caught on camera swinging a sword and threatening members of the public in Milton Keynes on July 30.

Carrying the sword, he approached a small group of people who hanging out by a van.

He made threats towards them and ‘raised the weapon in a threatening manner’, police said.

One brave member of the public tried to wrestle the blade off him to protect his friends but suffered serious injuries to his hands, including a damaged tendon and a rib injury.

Soon, two other men ran at him, one holding a spirit level forcingMessenbird to flee.

A short time later, Messenbird was seen walking along Silbury Boulevard while still carrying the sword.

He was arrested on August 5 and charged the following day.

Aaron Messenbird was jailed for a year (Picture: Thames Valley Police)

Investigating officer PC Jordan Buchanan-Kay, of the Central Milton Keynes Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: ‘This was a violent and unprovoked incident in which Messenbird threatened members of the public with a potentially lethal weapon before assaulting a man who had stepped in to protect others.

‘The victim suffered painful injuries, including damage to a tendon in his hand, as a result of Messenbird’s actions.

‘I would also like to acknowledge the bravery of the members of the public who intervened and helped prevent this incident from becoming far more serious. Their actions undoubtedly contributed to protecting others from harm.

‘However, we would always urge people not to put themselves in danger when confronted with somebody carrying a weapon. The safest course of action is to move to a place of safety and call 999 immediately, providing as much information as possible to help officers respond quickly.

‘I am pleased that Messenbird has been given a custodial sentence and hope this outcome provides reassurance to the victims and the wider community that violent offending involving weapons will not be tolerated.’

Messenbird, of Wandsworth Place, Bradwell Common, Milton Keynes, was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment at Aylesbury Crown Court.
