Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor John Mushayavanhu says he is exploring new ways of boosting demand for the local currency Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG). Speaking to the Zimbabwe Independent, he concurred with government to compel companies to pay 50% of corporate tax in ZiG, with the remainder in foreign currency. In theory, policymakers predicted the […]

Inside Amanda Holden’s gallery wall at ‘stunning’ new £7m Surrey mansion – and how to recreate it with £1.95 Asda buy

AMANDA Holden has given fans a rare look inside her new £7 million Surrey mansion.

The Heart Radio presenter, 53, now has a gallery wall of family photos at the top of her lavish staircase.

And it turns out, you don’t need to be a telly star living in a multi-million pound property to recreate the home style.

You can do it yourself with identical frames from Asda that cost less than £2 a pop. 

The supermarket has a range of similar black photo frames with white borders under the glass. 

Selling as part of its George range, the Black Photo Frame 8 x 6 Inch Set of 3 costs £5.85, working out at £1.95 per frame. 

There’s also the Black A3 Photo Frame Set of 3 at £18, working out at £6 per frame for a larger one. 

Amanda’s gallery wall has a variety of frame sizes, sitting both vertically and horizontally.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge enlisted the help of The Style Sisters, Charlotte Reddington and Gemma Lilly, who organise and “detox” celebrity homes for a living. 

Despite rumours she was relocating to the States, Amanda moved to “Britain’s Beverly Hills” instead.

She is now settled in the sought-after village of Cobham, Surrey, after flogging her giant house in southwest London for a cool £5 million.

The Style Sisters showcased her hallway transformation on their Instagram page. 

They wrote: “A wall filled with LOVE.

“We helped create a beautiful gallery wall for Amanda Holden in her stunning new home.

“Every picture holds a memory and tells a story we loved hearing about these special times.”

Back in February, Amanda invited pals over to her new home to officially open her new dining room – after she forked out thousands on giving it a makeover.

Everything to know about Amanda Holden

“We’ve refurbed the dining room and we had some friends over and I wanted it to feel like a restaurant so I put a piece of ribbon across the door and I got Alan Carr to cut the ribbon,” she said at the time.

“The reviews were brilliant but then Ashley Roberts made up a little dance routine to Beyonce’s current No 1 which is very country.

“We did this whole dance routine to it. 

“The dancing happened before the dinner and we were two margaritas in at that point. 

“Saturday was a write-off and I didn’t get out of my pyjamas.”

I refuse to live with a man – even if I get married we’re keeping separate homes, he’ll need to schedule in sex

A SINGLE lady claims she’d never want to live with a man ever again – even if it ruins spontaneous intimacy.

Jessica Rampant, 35, is open to finding love and wouldn’t rule out a relationship in the future.

But she’s already decided that she wants to live in a fella-free zone regardless of how amazing any prospective partner might be.

The OnlyFans model and mum of one said: “I never want to live with a man ever again. 

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

“You get to miss them, you get to watch your programmes he may rubbish and when you see each other, you have things to speak about, not just about who didn’t put the toilet seat down.”

The redhead also thinks living separately improves the intimate sides of relationships because it forces people to make more of an effort.

And she doesn’t care if that means her man has to schedule in sex – insisting it will even improve their relationship.

She added: “I think it improves and enhances sex life and romance. 

“Couples get so bogged down by domestic duties and sat rotting on their sofas watching box sets.

“Who can blame them for not wanting to have sex when sleep is a better option? 

“Whereas having a partner with their own home means that first flush of love is extended and remains as fresh as possible.

“One of the main causes of splits is mismatched sex drives. 

“When two people are living together, there’s only so many times someone can someone take ‘no’ before they split or worse, cheat.”

Meanwhile, a model has hit back after trolls said she’ll never be able to get a decent bloke because of her size.

Steph Oshiri, 30, from Canada, has made a name and career out of showcasing her curves, and even managed to buy a house with the earning from her modelling career.

But despite her high earnings, the model still frequently has to deal with mean comments from haters who don’t get what all the fuss is about.

In a recent clip posted to social media, Steph targeted one especailly nasty comment and had the perfect response.

“I get comments like this all the time,” she said, “like no high-value man will ever want to be with you. No high-status man. No high-earning man will ever want to be with you. La la la la la. I hear it all the time.

“And I think it’s so fundamentally important for the majority of both men and women to recognise that most of y’all are average, okay.

The model, who boasts 480k followers on Instagram, confessed she’s not so “delusional” to think she can get any man she wants anyway.

She added: “Yeah, I’ve been known to be delusional at times, but I am not so delusional that I really thought that it was in the cards for me to pull like a NASA astronaut, like hello, look at me.”

Ultra-rare 1984 Porsche Rally car with special ‘lollypop’ seats & top speed of 160mph set to fetch £2.6M at auction

AN ultra-rare Porsche rally car which is fitted out with special “lollypop” seats could be yours for a cool £2.6million when it goes up for auction.

Bids are currently being taken by Broad Arrow Auctions for the final 1984 SC RS at its inaugural Chattanooga sale, in Tennessee, which takes place later this month.

It is the last Type 954 rally car the German manufacturer built and is thought to be one of the most original still in existence,

The 911 SC RS, which is also known as the 911 Evolutionsserie, was built for competing in FIA Class B rally racing.

Porsche built just 21 models in 1983, five of which went to professional racing teams.

The others, including the one for sale, were sold to private customers.

While the 16 cars were built for the track they are also street legal.

The Porsche currently for sale has the chassis 021, the last one produced.

While it’s thought this model may have left the factory in Dutch flag-inspired colours, its aluminium body panels, fibreglass bumpers, a rally light pod, and forged Fuchs wheels are now all finished in a brilliant coat of white.

As you’d expect in a rally car, there is a beast under the bonnet.

A mechanically injected 3.0-litre flat-six sits in the vehicle’s engine bay.

It’s race-spec five-speed manual gearbox produces 280 hp, 184 ft lbs of torque, and has an 8,000-rpm redline.

In 1984, Porsche claimed the car could reach 60mph in 5.3 seconds, but more recent testing indicates that figure to be rather conservative.

It has a top speed just shy of 159 mph.

Being a rally car, the 911 SC RS is rather spartan inside.

It’s fitted out with 935-style “lollypop” seats and a roll cage and does come with some creature comforts, such as a radio, power windows and air conditioning.

Thanks to its lack of features, such as soundproofing, it has a curb weight of just 2,160 pounds.

Porsche originally delivered the car to importer Tycho Christian van Dijk in 1984.

He had intended to race the car in multiple events but would actually only ever compete in one event, that season’s Tour de Corse on Corsica.

It came in 14th, the best placing of any Porsche entered into the rally.

Due to it being the car’s only race it never claimed any honours but that does mean the vehicle is in tip-top share four decades on.

Over the years it has only notched up 3,227 miles on the odometer and it has only changed hands once previously.

With the current seller buying the motor in 2004.

It comes with a Porsche Classic Technical Certificate and extensive paperwork history.

The 911 SC RS goes under the hammer on October 12.

But anyone thinking of making a bid will need very deep pockets as Broken Arrow expects the vehicle to go for between £2million and £2.6million.

But the pair, who got engaged before they met, were left in a cringe silence after Adnan picked her up from the airport.

Despite this, they continued with their wedding plans and got married the same day.

Tigerlily, who married Adan, in a lavish wedding at Bebek Halls in Amman, Jordan last year, is the owner of two businesses, according to her Instagram bio

She’s the owner of Neige Concept, which is a store for the “modern family with a curated edit of ethical and sustainable childrens wear, womens wear, and skincare.”

Tigerlily also offers a digital marketing course online, Make Money With Tiger, boasting more than 9,200 followers on social media.

The pair appeared on season seven of TLC’s hit reality series The 90 Day Fiancé.

Speaking before she caught her flight to Jordan, she told cameras: “I’m not nervous at all. I just want to get on the plane already and go.”

Tigerlily added that after 20 hours of travelling to see Adnan that she is “going to be married by the end of the day. It’s a lot.”

She says: “This is going to be life-changing. I have been waiting forever to meet him, and I am so glad that this moment is finally here.”

The show caught their first moment they met in person on camera and it clearly showed that they were “in love.” 

Adnan told cameras: “When I saw Tigerlily for the first time, I was feeling fire inside me.”

The couple told PEOPLE that their wedding was attended by 300 guests and made them feel “like a prince and princess.” 

She said: “Adnan did all of the planning down to every detail to make sure that everyone had a good party and great food.

“He loves planning it and says if he can do it 10 more times, he will.”

This should age well

TikTok comment

According to Starcasm, Tigerlily was wed to a gentleman named Darren, who holds the position of CEO at Tidel. Together, they had two sons. 

Tigerlily disclosed that their divorce proceedings spanned four years.

Harry Kane blasted: Prem legend slams striker and says he ‘wasn’t brought in to score hat-trick against Darmstadt’

HARRY KANE has been criticised in the German media after enduring a difficult week.

The former Tottenham striker, 31, was in action as Bayern Munich fell to a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Champions League.

He also featured as Bayern drew 1-1 with Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen last weekend.

Kane has netted 10 times in eight appearances in all competitions so far this season, while also laying on five assists.

After going scoreless in the crunch matches against Villa and Leverkusen, however, the England captain has received some scrutiny.

In his column for Sky Germany, former Premier League midfielder Dietmar Hamann questioned whether Kane has been a good signing for his former side Bayern.

Hamann, who also played for Manchester City, Liverpool and Newcastle, wrote: “Harry Kane had a personally sobering evening in Birmingham – in addition to the defeat.

“I said after the European Championship in the summer that he still has to prove that he is worth the 100 million – even though he scored over 30 goals last year.”

Hamann then appeared to suggest that Kane, who was denied by a last-gasp Emi Martinez save at Villa Park, only scores against weaker opposition.

The forward bagged four times against Dinamo Zagreb last month, in addition to netting a treble vs Holstein Kiel.

Hamann continued: “He wasn’t brought in to score a hat-trick against Darmstadt.

“He was brought in to score against Leverkusen and Aston Villa and to score in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

“He hasn’t done that yet. I remain sceptical about the star striker.”

Kane is both Tottenham and England’s all-time leading goalscorer.

He scored 280 goals in 435 appearances for Spurs before leaving in the summer of 2023, and has so far plundered 68 in 100 England caps.

His scoring record has remained incredible since signing for Bayern, averaging more than a goal a game with 54 in 53 appearances.

But Kane’s side failed to win the Bundesliga or DFB Pokal last season, and fell narrowly in the Champions League semi-finals to eventual winners Real Madrid.

The forward did score in the tie against the Spanish giants, before having to go off late on in the second-half with a back injury that would continue to bother him during Euro 2024.

He also scored as Bayern eliminated Arsenal in the quarter-finals.

Kane and Co return to action this Sunday, when they travel to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
