SECURITY footage has captured the moment the son of the man who allegedly tried to assassinate Donald Trump on his Florida golf course was arrested by cops.
Oran Alexander Routh, son of Ryan Routh, was arrested by the feds on child pornography charges earlier this week.
He was arrested after cops had raided his home in Greensboro, North Carolina on Saturday.
As part of their probe, two Samsung Galaxy Note devices were uncovered and hundreds of child pornography files were discovered on an SD card, per legal docs seen by The U.S. Sun.
Security footage, obtained by the Fox affiliate WGHP, showed Routh surrendering to cops.
Routh, 35, wearing a black Stetson-like hat trooped toward officers with his hands in the air.
He turned around as two cops holding firearms swooped in on him.
Local mechanic Lacine Cherif saw the arrest play out in real time and likened it to something out of a film.
“You usually see that on TV or the movies, but I actually saw it in real life … It was actually scary,” he told WGHP.
Cherif revealed that officers had been staking out the area before making the arrest.
Routh has been charged with counts of possessing and receiving child sexual abuse material, according to court docs.
Cops revealed they found explicit content on one of the cell phones, as reported by NPR.
His home was raided as part of the ongoing probe into his father Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, and he is due to appear in court for a detention hearing on October 1.
Ryan Routh allegedly tried to assassinate Trump on September 15 after he reportedly scoped out the West Palm Beach golf course for 12 hours before being caught.
Routh lay in wait in the bushes around 500 yards from the former president and cops found a backpack and a GoPro device that was discarded at the scene.
A Secret Service agent opened fire after spotting the barrel of Routh’s weapon.
The gunman fled the scene before he was later caught as cops executed a traffic stop.
Routh was initially charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and carrying a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
He has also been charged with the attempted assassination of an ex-president.
It was thought Routh was armed with an AK-47 style weapon but officials revealed the gun was a SKS semiautomatic gun.
Prosecutors revealed cell phone data pinpointed Routh to be at the golf course and near Trump’s luxury residence, Mar-a-Lago.
Routh also penned a note that revealed his intentions to try and kill Trump.
The letter started with the line “Dear world.”
“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster,” it said.
“It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.
“Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president.
The Justice Department released a chilling letter from would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh about his plan to kill Donald Trump on Monday.
“Dear world,” the note began.
“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster.
“It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.
“Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president.
“US presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America, and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity.
“Trump fails to understand any of [that],” the letter concluded
“US presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America, and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity.”
Cops also discovered a notebook full of criticism toward the government.
Routh, a pro-Ukrainian activist, could face life behind bars if he’s convicted.
Attorney General Merrick Garland branded the assassination attempt “heinous” during a press conference on Tuesday.
He warned Routh could be hit with extra charges.
Trump accused the Justice Department of downplaying the case, as reported by The New York Post.
He claimed the charges against Routh were a slap on the wrist.
Judge Aileen Cannon has been assigned the court case.
She threw out Trump’s classified documents case in July.
Trump appeared to make a joke about the apparent assassination attempt days later on the Fox News show Gutfeld!
He joked that golf is a dangerous game.
AFTER growing her hair from her shoulders down to her waist, one woman shared the exact washing routine she follows.
The haircare fanatic shared her go-to tips, including the ingredient she adds to her shampoo.
In her viral video, TikTok user Amber Pot (@amberpot) broke down her beauty regime.
For her first step, she applies hair oil to the mids and ends of her locks.
The TikToker explained that this helps “to protect it from hard water damage.”
She also uses a pre-wash scalp treatment, which she described as “a must after scalp oiling.”
Amber’s go-to scalp treatments are usually “a scalp scrub or salicylic acid.”
Next, she recommended shampooing your locks twice, explaining the reasons behind each rinse.
“The first wash breaks product build-up, while the second wash gets rid of dirt,” Amber explained.
And when it comes to shampooing, the haircare pro only applies the product to her roots.
According to the TikTok user, shampoo can dry out the ends of your locks.
Amber also elevates her shampoo by adding rosemary essential oil for hair growth.
She then uses warm water to wash out the shampoo but switches to cold water to rinse her conditioner.
However, before applying conditioner, Amber explained that she uses a hair mask in the shower.
When applying conditioner, she only adds the product to the mids and ends of her locks.
She explained that the product would make her locks greasy if applied to her roots.
For her final step, Amber always finishes her hair washing routine with a cold rinse.
One beauty expert has shared the easy way to refresh your hair in between washes without reaching for the dry shampoo.
A hairstylist has revealed the best way to get rid of flyaways in seconds for picture-perfect hair.
Sick of you hair falling flat? One woman shared the easy trick to add extra volume without backcombing your roots.
Plus, one hairstylist shared how to keep your hair straight and frizz-free without using any heat.
For blondies among us, it turns out you’ve been applying purple shampoo all wrong and the right way will stop it from going patchy.
The TikToker also advised her audience to “never sleep with wet hair.”
Amber’s followers shared their thoughts on the advice in the comments section.
“This saved my hair,” wrote one impressed viewer.
“If you massage your roots everytime you shampoo, that works [too],” suggested another TikTok user.
“Might have to give this a try, thanks for giving your tips,” commented a third person.
A MUM has left people heartbroken after revealing the reason she blames herself for her partner of 17 years’ affair.
She explained that her husband – to whom she had been married for seven years – was her “best friend”, and she thought they were “happy”.
“We had been on our little one’s first holiday abroad just months before he left,” she added.
But she slowly started “noticing changes” in his behaviour, such as him becoming “very secretive” and disappearing for “whole weekends, blocking my number and leaving me to care for our child and dog alone”.
“He would speak to me horribly and treated me awfully, which was completely unlike him,” she continued in the post on Mumsnet.
She eventually discovered that he was seeing someone 200 miles way, and had been “writing love letters to her, sending her sex toys and taking her on trips to the theatre”.
When she confronted him, he told her he “didn’t love me anymore and he was leaving”.
“When I was at work one day, he moved out all his stuff and left,” she added.
While the events unfolded a year ago, she admitted it had “completely broken” her, and she doesn’t think she’ll “ever understand it”.
“Deep down, I know I blame myself because I feel like I somehow caused it,” she added.
“I have a stressful job and I found first time parenting during a pandemic overwhelming.”
She’s now found someone new herself, but has been struggling with whether or not she’s “ready” to move on from the past.
“He’s so lovely and so patient and understanding but I keep doubting it,” she admitted.
“Not because of him I don’t think but because I’m still healing and I’m not sure I can go through another heartbreak like it.”
After her husband’s affair, she had resigned herself to “staying alone”, and “didn’t expect to feel this way about someone so soon”.
And now she’s worrying about “hurting my ex, even though he seemingly didn’t care about my feelings at all”, as well as worrying that she’s ” still in love with my ex husband and that it’s not fair on the guy I’m seeing”.
“But then on the other hand I don’t want to punish myself forever for an affair I didn’t commit,” she concluded, asking if anyone had found themselves in a similar situation.
People were quick to offer their takes on the situation in the comments section, with one writing: “First of all, you did nothing to make your husband have an affair, that is all on him so you have no reason whatsoever to blame yourself…
Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it’s normal to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
Aaron says: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful.”
“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
“If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.”
“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out,” says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner’s libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
“To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating,” warns Aaron.
“You have said yourself that your new man is very patient and understanding, that is even more reason to take it slowly at your own pace.
“There’s no need to rush into anything and there’s no reason to break off your new relationship because it might turn out to be the best thing that’s happened to you for a long time.”
“Just continue to take it slowly,” another advised.
“A year on from a 17 year relationship is not a long time.
“I wouldn’t give up on the new man/relationship though. I’ve been dating on and off for a while and I’ve not experienced those feelings for anyone yet.
“I think it’s rare… and you can’t put life on hold forever.”
RICHARD Madeley has opened up about his future on Good Morning Britain after the recent presenter shake-up.
At the end of Wednesday’s Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid revealed Martin Lewis would be taking 68-year-old Richard’s seat next to her today.
But Richard insists he’s not going anywhere and has no plans to give up his day job any time soon.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “I am very happy to say on GMB as long as they want me.
“At some point I’m going to be too bloody old – I’m 68! “t some stage either I will think or ITV will think maybe the times come.
“But hopefully that will be for a few years yet, because I don’t feel 68.”
He and Susanna, 53, have face continious feud rumours since he joined the show on a permanent basis in 2021.
But Richard has insisted the duo get along just fine and he is “lucky” to have been paired with her.
He continued: “I think I’m really lucky to have been paired with Susanna, I think journalistically we’re very similar.
“We have a meeting every morning at 5 o’clock in her dressing room. Her, me and the producer of the day and we go through the running and that’s where we kind of put the final shape to the programme. It’s just a treat working with her.”
Richard added: “I wouldn’t get up at four in the f****** morning two weeks out of four, Monday to Thursday, if I didn’t enjoy it.
“I don’t need to do it. My career arch as it were, is behind me. I’ve had a really happy career and I could if I wanted to just potter about.”
Meanwhile, another presenter change up is on the cards for GMB this week.
Adil Ray, 50, revealed he will be returning to the presenter hot seat on Friday alongside show anchor Kate Garraway.
He uploaded a snap showing him on the early morning show sofa with Kate, 57, as well as newsreader Charlotte Hawkins, 49, entertainment reporter Richard Arnold, 54, and weather presenter Laura Tobin, 42.
AN EXPERT has revealed an unlikely 99p hack you can use to remove mould from your home, and you probably already have the product in your bathroom.
As the weather begins to get colder, condensation may begin to form on our windows, which, if left alone can allow mould to grow, which can lead to asthma attacks and skin rashes.
It can also destroy wallpaper, wood and drywall, which can lead to expensive repairs.
However, Emily Caloe, Senior Buyer at Vonhaus revealed that there is a simple hack to get rid of it.
She said: “Damp, humid environments are just the right breeding grounds for mould.
“This is compounded by poor ventilation, leaks, condensation and high humidity levels that all create the perfect conditions for mould spores, which can affect walls, ceilings, windows and other surfaces with unsightly stains and possible health hazards”.
Emily explained that shaving foam is an unlikely product which can stop mould from growing around windows.
She said: “Start by giving your windows a good clean.
“Spread a thin layer of shaving cream over the glass; this shaving cream will act as a barrier, reducing condensation—a major cause of mould growth on windows.
“Let the foam sit for a few minutes until the excess is wiped off, and then let it sit with a thin, clear layer left behind.”
Shaving foam is super cheap, and can be picked up for as little as 99p from Tesco.
Emily added that another simple hack you can use to banish mould is to use white vinegar.
Revealing her method, she said: “Mix one part vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle and apply the solution to the affected area.
“Wipe down with a clean, damp cloth.
“If there is a smell of vinegar, don’t worry—it will disappear within a few hours. And remember: always wear gloves and a mask when dealing with mould.”
Mould is more likely to grow during the winter months.
Olivia Young, Product Development Scientist at Astonish revealed exactly why this is.
“Unfortunately, mould is a common problem many people face during winter. It thrives in conditions that are warm and damp, so your bathrooms are likely to be the most affected place.
“That said, during the colder months most rooms in your home could be vulnerable to mould growing.
“This occurs primarily from condensation that builds up on your windows when you’ve got your radiators on.
“If you think about it, when windows and doors are closed, there’s not much chance for the air to circulate and the moisture to make a swift exit.
“This build up is what can cause dreaded mould to make an appearance, especially in bathrooms, as it creates that warm and wet environment that is a breeding ground for mould.
“If left untreated, not only is it unsightly but it can also pose a serious risk to your health, so it’s really important you treat it.
“The key to tackle mould is to act fast.
“Try to come into as little contact with it as you can. So, grab your gloves, tie up your hair and get to work to remove any signs of mould as soon as you notice them.
“To keep mould at bay, there are some simple solutions you can introduce throughout home.
“The first is keep it ventilated. Yes, even in the cold winter months try to leave your bathroom window open for at least 10/15 minutes post shower or bath. This will get rid of any excess moisture quickly preventing mould gathering.
“If you’re having a repeat problem with mould in one particular area, it might be because the humidity levels are too high. You can get a dehumidifier that will help keep the levels low and reduce the risk of mould returning.
“The golden rule to remember when dealing with mould is the quicker you can treat it, the better. If you leave it, it will only get worse so never ignore it!
“To successfully get rid of mould every time, I recommend opting for the UK’s No 1 Mould & Mildew Remover, that effectively removes mould and mildew stains almost instantly, with no scrubbing necessary.”
Black mould is a fungus that grows in warm, wet conditions such as in the bathroom.
Mould can build up for a number of reasons, such as leaking pipes, poor insulation or if condensation is not wiped away after you’ve had a shower.
It’s important to get rid of mould as it can cause many health problems.
According to the NHS, black mould can lead to asthma attacks, allergic reactions and infections.
When removing black mould, it is important to protect yourself by using rubber gloves and a mask that covers you nose and mouth.

Issuing common bonds?
The post Minister says Ireland ruling nothing out as government considers Draghi response appeared first on Gript.
STARING at the spreadsheet on the laptop screen in front of her, Emmerald Barwise scanned the sea of numbers and dates in front of her.
This meticulously compiled colour-coded data set had taken her hundreds of hours to build – and was – she believed – the key to achieving her lifelong dream.
But this wasn’t a monthly budget or stock market plan – it was a critical tool Emmerald, 34, originally from Manchester but who now lives in Wrexham, spent years compiling in a bid to achieve her dream of bagging a famous man – and having his baby.
Columns detailing the schedules of celebs like Tyson Fury and Lewis Hamilton – and tour dates of rappers like 50 Cent and Tyga – filled the page.
“I always knew I wanted to date a celebrity,” Emmerald tells the Sun.
“When I was 20 in 2010 I decided to start tracking schedules and appearances of the celebrities I thought I might like to date.
“I began to pay doormen for tips at the big clubs in Manchester like Circle, Paparazzi and The Press Club where I knew premier league footballers would hang out.
“I’d ask event organisers for information and details of actors’ tour dates and movie releases.
“I spent thousands of hours and thousands of pounds chasing celebrities.
“I didn’t care if they were single or married stars. I was desperate for a celebrity status, a celebrity wedding or a celebrity lovechild.”
“The aim was simple: marry a celeb or a football player and claim the wife title, or have a secret love child and get the ‘baby mamma’ title. I was obsessed with doing either.
“I know people will judge me. I don’t care. People are hypocrites. If you marry a celebrity you’re embraced. If you have a love child you’re disrespected. Blame the men, not me.”
Emmerald’s frank admissions come as Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl admitted he has fathered a love child with a woman who is not his wife.
Meanwhile married Manchester City footballer, Kyle Walker is back living with his wife and mother of his four children Annie Kilner after it was revealed he’d fathered two love children with model and influencer Lauryn Goodman.
“Like these women, I wanted fame,” Emmerald says.
“I saw the life women who dated celebrities or married them lived and I wanted that.
“Dancing or bedding a footballer or rapper meant you had ‘accesses. It meant you’ ‘mattered’. It was a confidence boost. It made me feel in control. It made me feel I was worthy.
“The Kardashians made a living out of bagging rich men. WAGs like Colleen Rooney were unknown until they nabbed a footballer and now live a lavish life in a multi-million-pound mansion. It means wealth and it means success.”
Emmerald was used to the champagne lifestyle having grown up in the leafy village of Worsley in Greater Manchester – which previously counted the likes of footballers Ryan Giggs and Marouane Fellani among its residents.
She attended the prestigious £14,000-a-year Bridgewater School where she mixed with the children of some of Manchester’s most successful business men and women and developed a taste for the high life.
“It started when I was 20 in 2010,” she says.
“I was working as a model and events planner. I thought I knew it all.
“My friends and I were young and good looking, and used to the finer things in life thanks to our parents.
“We went to clubs in Manchester and London specifically to find celebs.
“Mixing with footballers was fun – and even more so when they were paying for your drinks.
“My gal pals and I had a network of tipsters including makeup artists and bouncers who told us who was expected where and shared all the info on Whatsapp. It was a full-time job.
“I know which hotels they stayed at, which clubs they partied at and what people to contact to get invited to afterparties and VIP club events.”
Among those she followed were well-known rappers, Tyson Fury, Greg O’Shea, and a whole host of premier league footballers.
“I was on a mission,” she admits.
“Footballers are celebrated for going after a torment trophy. I wanted a different prize – money, celebrity status and marriage.
It isn't just Dave Grohl and Kyle Walker who have children outside of their marriages...
DAVID JASON
Sir David said he knew nothing about his daughter Abi Harris until recently.
But once he and his family got over the massive shock, they welcomed Abi, and her son Charlie, into their home.
Sir David – who played Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses – told The Mirror: “To say it was a surprise is an understatement.”
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
In 2011, it was revealed that in the 90s, Arnold Schwarzenegger, 75, had a secret child with his family’s maid, Mildred Baena.
For more than a decade the Terminator star-turned-politician managed to keep the identity of his son a secret.
The former California governor himself only found out about son Joseph Baena when he was eight years old.
Arnie finally confessed all to his wife Maria Shriver, with whom he shares four children, during a couples therapy session.
The affair was cited as the reason Maria moved out of their family home and filed for divorce.
He now has a good relationship with his son, who has followed in his footsteps to become an actor and bodybuilder.
GAVIN ROSSDALE
Daisy Lowe never knew that Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale, 57, was her father until she turned 14.
The 34-year-old daughter of fashion designer Pearl Lowe had thought her dad was her mum’s ex, fertility specialist Bronner Handwerger.
But she had questions when she discovered neither of her parents shared her O-type blood and asked for a paternity test.
Daisy then discovered that her godfather Gavin, who was married to Gwen Stefani, was her biological dad.
After the initial revelation Gavin cut off all contact with Pearl and Daisy, but they’ve since healed their rift and are now in a much better place.
CLINT EASTWOOD
Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, 92, is known for having had several affairs over the years.
In 1972, he met married actress and director Sondra Locke and the pair moved in together while he was still married to Neville Johnson.
But while cohabitating with Sondra he had two children, Scott and Kathryn, with flight attendant Jocelyn Reeves but rejected taking responsibility for them.
It was only in the mid-2000s – 30 years later – that Clint admitted he was their dad.
Now Scott and Kathryn, who is a successful actress and writer, have a much better relationship with him and have often appeared alongside him at red carpet events.
EDDIE MURPHY
Eddie Murphy dated Spice Girls singer Mel B in 2006 after his divorce from his wife Nicole.
But when Mel got pregnant at the start of their relationship, Eddie, now 61, was reluctant to take responsibility for the pregnancy.
He said in an interview: “I don’t know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions.”
After a bitter court battle, a DNA test confirmed that he was the father of Angel Iris Murphy Brown, now 15, and Eddie was ordered to pay £35,000 a month in child support until she reaches 18.
STEVE JOBS
When Apple co-founder Steve Jobs’ high school sweetheart Chrisann Brennan told him she was pregnant in 1977, he denied responsibility, leading to their split.
He had already founded the company, now worth billions, but she was forced to support herself by cleaning houses.
After baby Lisa was born, he publicly denied he was the father and continued to do so even after a paternity test proved otherwise.
Years after he left Apple, Steve attempted to reconcile with his daughter and apologised to her and her mum for his behaviour.
But Lisa said in her biography that their relationship remained strained as he was distant, cold, and made her feel unwanted.
The billionaire tech boss died in 2011 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003 and left her a multi-million dollar inheritance.
STEVE TYLER
American actress Liv Tyler had no idea her dad was legendary Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler until the age of 10.
Her mum and Todd Rundgren, member of the band Utopia, had been in an on-off relationship but she had a brief fling with Steven in 1976, and she fell pregnant with Liv.
Todd agreed to raise Liv as his own as at the time, even though he was no longer with Bebe, Steven was battling drug addiction.
But Liv, now 45, began to suspect something was amiss when she noticed her striking resemblance to Steven’s daughter Mia.
After confronting her mother, she came clean without hesitation and told her the truth.
Today Steven and Liv share a close bond, but she also has a great relationship with her adoptive dad Todd.
LIAM GALLAGHER
Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher had a fling with American journalist Liza Ghorbani after she interviewed him for a New York Times feature in 2010.
She fell pregnant, and when their daughter Gemma was born in 2013, she sued him for £1.9million for unpaid child support.
It was reported that the saga broke up his marriage to All Saints star Nicole Appleton – they divorced in April 2014.
Liam, 50, and Liza finally reached an out of court settlement in March 2015 – the day it was set to go before a Manhattan court.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Liam later admitted: “The stuff that happened was my own doing. S*** happens, and I apologise. I’ve hurt a lot of people, but that’s life.”
Liam also has another lovechild called Molly – the result of an affair with Kill City lead singer Lisa Moorish while he was married to actress Patsy Kensit.
In February 2018, Liam confessed to not having met Molly and told The Mirror: “I’ve just never got around to meeting her.
“I’ve heard she’s all right, though. She’s doing all right. I never heard anything that she wanted to meet me.”
Molly has since shared snaps of her with her dad on Instagram, and in 2019 Liam wrote a song called Now That I’ve Found You about his formerly estranged daughter.
CHUCK NORRIS
In 1963, Chuck Norris fathered a daughter called Dina DiCiolli – the result of an extramarital affair with a woman called Johanna while married to his first wife Dianne Holchek.
At the time, the 83-year-old actor never told her he was married and didn’t know she’d fallen pregnant until Dina wrote to him in 1991.
Chuck has said he did not need a DNA test to confirm he was her father and had an emotional meeting with her and her mum.
JUDE LAW
In 2009, fans of actor Jude Law, 50, were shocked to learn that he was set to become a dad after a fling with American model Samantha Burke.
They are said to have met in New York when he was filming Sherlock Holmes, and she was a Hooters waitress.
According to The Telegraph, Jude – then a dad-of-three – asked for a paternity test in order to be “100 per cent certain” that the baby, called Sophia, was really his.
They met for the first time when Sophia was five months old, and are now said to have a good relationship.
In 2014 it emerged Jude, then 41, was expecting another love child with wannabe actress and singer Catherine Harding, then 23.
Catherine, also known as Cat Cavelli, gave birth to a daughter, Ada, in March 2015. She claimed she is friends with the actor.
TOM JONES
In his biography, Sir Tom Jones admitted to sleeping with around 250 women a year at the peak of his highly successful career.
Tom, 82, was married to Melinda Trenchard from 1957 until her death in 2016 but had several affairs.
One of those resulted in the birth of a son, Jonathan Berkery, whose mother is a model called Katherine.
In 1989 the pair were involved in a legal battle over his paternity, but a DNA test proved that Tom was indeed the daddy.
He then agreed to pay £1,700 in child maintenance until his 18th birthday but has only acknowledged him once during an interview in 2008.
In 2018, Jonathan, who had fallen on hard times, said he did not want anything from his father and only craved his recognition.
“I spent thousands paying for tips from doormen and bouncers slipping them fifties to get access to private events.
“A crisp twenty to a private driver and a bit of flirting would get me information about who they were picking up.
“If I couldn’t get tips, I’d find out where they lived by meticulously analysing their posts and pictures on social media.
“Then, I’d devise ways to ‘accidentally’ run into them or gain entry to the parties they were attending.
“I spent thousands on clothes, designer handbags, trains, cars and flights being a high-end groupie chasing my dream.
“Competition was tough. All the women are glamorous. To get noticed you had to be at a VIP or seated at a front table.
“I was willing to do the research, invest in information and spend on expensive clothes like Versace and Louboutins to show I fitted in and to get noticed.
“I wanted to be the most popular girl on the scene. I targeted minor celebrities and young footballers first and that got you through the door.
“That gives you credibility and then you can work your way up the celebrity ladder. It sounds brutal but that’s what it’s about.”
The process quickly became a full time job for Emmerald.
“By 2017 when I was 26 I was spending nearly 100 hours a month trying to meet and bed celebrities,” she says.
“Normal blokes didn’t interest me.
“I got high dancing with a celebrity or chatting up a footballer. You can bask in the glow, and anything is possible.
“One time, I met a big American rapper. He loved my accent and my confidence. He’d fly me to the US for holidays and parties.”
As well as constant networking and tracking celebrity movements Emmerald says sliding into a star’s ‘DMs’ – direct messages on Instagram – was another ploy in her celebrity hunting arsenal.
She explains: “You like some of their posts. Add a sexy comment and send a suggestive DM.
“I’d do this hundreds of times. You always get a few bites.
“Or you meet at a party and then hit them up on their socials. Men love online flirting and sexting .
“I realised early on that stars love to be told how amazing they are. They love the attention and even if they are not good in bed you tell them they are gods.”
And it seems that Emmerald’s hardwork paid off.
“During my celebrity hunting years I slept with more than forty famous men,” she says.
“I had one night stands or longer flings. I loved sex and I love bagging a celebrity. There is nothing wrong with that
“I wasn’t a slut. I was embracing my sexuality. I am proud of that – so don’t even think of trolling me.
“I have been given designer clothes, designer handbags, shoes and given credit cards to go on shopping sprees by my boyfriends,
“Many were married or had long-term girlfriends. But I didn’t feel bad for the wives and girlfriends.
“Many of the women had met their men the same way I was hooking up with celebrities. They are not stupid.”
I was suddenly dropped. He blocked my calls, and he called in lawyers
Emmerald Barwise
It was in 2017 that Emmerald’s partying came to a close.
“I’d been dating a top footballer with a long-term girlfriend of over a year,” she says.
“I chased him, even moved into the area he lived, and we started hooking up.
“I discovered I was pregnant in 2017 and he was the father. We’d been hooking up for almost six months.
“I’ve achieved my goal. But It wasn’t a happy ending. All of a sudden being pregnant changed my outlook overnight.
“I told him I was having his baby and thought he’d be overjoyed and make it official. The exact opposite happened.

“I was suddenly dropped. He blocked my calls, and he called in lawyers.
“He didn’t care about me or the baby. He was more worried about his career and reputation.
“The hate turned me into a mother lioness. I felt used. I felt abused. I didn’t want the life I’d been living.
“He didn’t offer money to help me. He made it clear he’d do whatever it took to distance himself from me. He called me a s**t.
“I knew the legal wranglings would be messy and horrible so I signed an agreement not to mention his name or his club. I felt sick. I agreed but made it clear he didn’t own me.
“I took my power back, and I became a mother. Giving birth to my daughter in December 2017 was one of my proudest moments.
“I don’t regret having my daughter. She is a true blessing, and she grounded me.
“Now, seven years on, I do regret my desire to spend, spend and chase famous fellas.
“I know I spent over £5000 on clubs, travel clothes and paying for tips. I regret that. I had some amazing times and still have celebrity mates. But I regret behaving like I knew it all.
“Since then, I’ve changed my life and I’ve opened my own model agency and am happily raising my daughter, now seven.
“My focus is now on my daughter and my business. I’ve grown up and no longer want to be that girl.”
