Child dies at home as cops arrest woman, 41, & launch murder probe into ‘suspicious’ death
COPS have arrested a 41-year-old woman after a child died at home in a “suspicious” death.
Emergency services scrambled to a property in Gendros, Swansea, at 8.30pm yesterday.
The police force confirmed that a 41-year-old woman had been arrested on suspicion of murder and was currently in custody in Bridgend.
Cops said an incident room had been set up and an urgent probe is being led by the force’s major crime investigations team.
They added that it was known that the child and the woman lived together.
Currently, South Wales Police has said it is not looking for anyone else in connection with the death.
Chief Superintendent Chris Truscott, divisional commander for Swansea and Neath Port Talbot, said: “This is a distressing incident which will be a shock to the local community.
“Detectives are working to establish the circumstances of the child’s death and there will be an increased police presence in the area to offer reassurance to local residents.
“Speculation on social media is unhelpful and will cause distress to those affected by this incident at an already difficult time.”
I scored a hair dupe at Dollar Tree – I got an identical product from Ulta for $9 more, I definitely overspent at first
BUYER’S remorse swiftly kicked in for a shopper who spotted her latest purchase available for a fraction of the price at Dollar Tree.
She shared a photo of the pricey hair accessory bought from Ulta Beauty alongside a budget-friendly dupe.
The woman tagged the post on Reddit’s Ulta forum as a “PSA [public service announcement],” as she shared it with 86,000 people.
Her snap showed a large purple hair clip bought from Dollar Tree and an almost identical gray version from Ulta Beauty.
“Got the blue-gray clip from the Hair Edit at Ulta a few weeks back, love it, but found the same clip in purple at the Dollar Tree for $9 less,” she said, writing under the handle AnOnyxForest.
“Learn from me.”
The hair clips could be mistaken for being bought from the same place due to their similarities.
BOUJEE BUY
The Hair Edit’s Secret Garden Clip costs $9.99 at Ulta Beauty.
It’s described as being “the secret to a fun and chic half or full up-do.”
Customers blissfully unaware that they could’ve got the look for less have given it a 4.7-star rating out of a possible 5 and penned rave reviews.
One person said the clip is “super easy and comfortable to wear,” while another described it as “such a beautiful accessory!”
“I use this product to hold my hair up on a daily basis or half up if I want to let some of my hair loose,” a third said.
“It is very simple to use. Soft to open, not hard, so it opens and closes very easily.
“It grabs a lot of hair and it is simply pretty.”
CLAWS OUT
A Reddit user shared their opinion on why Dollar Tree’s claw clip looks similar despite costing just $1.25.
“There are so many hair products at Ulta, Target, etc. and they are just bulk ordered from manufacturers,” they said.
“You can get them from Amazon, shein, AliExpress for cheaper.”
The Dollar Tree shopper who started the discussion was grateful for the comment.
“I’ll be doing that next time,” she replied.
“At least I got a couple of points off the first mess up I guess.”
Dollar Tree dupes
Savvy shoppers have scoured Dollar Tree to find dupes of their favorite products
Shoppers found a perfect replica of a $150 set of Pottery Barn plates and bowls. Plus, Dollar Tree has matching mugs.
Dollar Tree also had dupes for the viral Starbucks tumblers.
Customers found dupes for Home Depot’s $39 outdoor solar lights.
Dollar Tree has a dupe for The Pink Stuff cleaning paste, too.
Other people said they had also spotted the hair accessory being sold for less than the price at Ulta Beauty.
“Girl I bought a pack of 6 for under $10 on Amazon lol,” one person said.
“I got like 6 for 30 cents on Temu. Great quality and exactly the same as these,” another commented.
“Nice find, It’s super helpful to know these things when most of us are on a budget,” a third wrote.
“I don’t underestimate what the DT sells and pop in there more than I used to bc [because] you just never know!”

DIY SOS’s Nick Knowles begs fans for help after co-stars car is stolen
NICK Knowles has pleaded with fans to help find his DIY SOS co-star’s stolen car.
The TV presenter, best known for stints on DIY SOS and Who Dares Wins, has taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to ask his followers for help.
He wrote: “Please can you help and spread the word Our lovely Billy from DIY SOS had his car stolen a few days ago, with a rather obvious number plate.
“Can you RT and see if we can find it for him, as it’s made him awfully sad Thank you everyone.”
Known for being the butt of the joke and an easy-going personality, Billy Byrne, 74, quickly became the shining star of British TV show DIY SOS.
Billy, who has been on the show since 1999, is not new to devastating news as he revealed the passing of his his 20-year-old daughter in 2020.
Emma was diagnosed with the cancer, and the incurable nature of her illness resulted in her tragic passing.
The electrician rarely discloses information of his daughter’s passing, but admitted that having therapy was the only way he managed to cope with the loss – despite it taking him 20 years to access help.
Billy first publicly discussed Emma on DIY SOS in 2020, he said: “You’ve got to accept that she was part of our lives for 20 years.
“Let’s talk about the 20 years that she was great and happy. We can stop shedding tears – but it’s hard.”
Meanwhile, Nick admitted that he’s been lifting weights in the gym to get in shape for his debut on Strictly Come Dancing.
Nick was confirmed as a show contestant by the BBC earlier this week.
Joining footballer Paul Merson and GB hockey hero Sam Quek, he will dance alongside another ten names as they take to the TV screens later this year.
Appearing on Monday Night’s The One Show, he told presenters: “I danced in Rio last year doing an Argentine Tango and I thought this is great.”
“My elder sister was a ballroom dancer so I am the least talented person in the family.”
Already taking it seriously, however, a slimmed-down Knowles has been seen out and about recently.
DIY SOS cast
Get to know the DIY SOS team and the characters behind the amazing room transformations.
Nick Knowles – Although he’s the only member of the team who isn’t a builder he’s not afraid of hard work, despite the jokes made on the programme. Nick mucks in and brings his own unique style of presenting to the show, joining in the fun with the team.
Mark Millar – The build manager is the one who has to work out how to fit weeks of work into just nine days. Needless to say he never shies away from a challenge! He’s full of energy and blarney but can get a bit lippy if you let him loose on the coffee.
Chris Frediani – He started at the bottom and worked his way up to being a very versatile plasterer. He’s been on DIY SOS since day one. He lives in and loves his home life in Devon, likes travelling around the country but loves going home more.
Julian Perryman – He has a very broad knowledge of modern and traditional types of properties, and always finds a giggle in any situation. An original DIY SOS team member, he’s a proper Devon Boy through and through.
Billy Byrne – Billy learned his trade in the 60s and then went into lighting in the film game. An original member of the DIY SOS team, he’s known as The Prince of Darkness and is the clown of the team. Billy is often the butt of the jokes but the programme wouldn’t be the same without him.
His new look led to fans speculating on how much weight the Bafta-winning presenter will lose during his stint on the show.
Replying to a comment on X, formerly Twitter, one fan said: “Got a book running with everyone on how much weight you’ll lose doing strictly…I’ve got a score on 3.5 stone…(22.22kg).”
Nick replied: “Well I’ve been training in the gym and on a strict diet and have lost 7 kilos already.”
The gravelly-voiced presenter had previously admitted to piling on the pounds in lockdown, telling his X followers in 2021: “Nothing like seeing your lockdown weight gain splashed all over several national newspapers with before and after example photos to (really) drive home the point…”
He was also previously quoted as saying: “I’ve made a living by looking like a bag of spanners on TV. “
“I’m 18 stone. I’m massive. I’m always on building sites. During lockdown, I put on almost four stone.”
The Bafta-winning presenter, who is engaged to fiancée Katie Dadzie, 27 years his junior, is set to take to the dance floor next month.
Despite recent scandals surrounding the show, it has been a firm favourite with viewers since launching in 2004, with more than 10 million tuning in to watch last year’s final.
Meanwhile, off screen, Nick’s often-rocky love life is now just as glittering.
Recently, the popular DIY SOS anchor, 61, popped the question to his fiance, underwear boss Katie Dadzie, 33.
The pair became engaged last summer, while the BBC star was filming in the US.
The couple have been together since 2021 and met when Katie’s daughters befriended Nick’s youngest lad Eddie, eight, at a play centre.
Cruel trolls had not only called out the generational divide but also suggested Katie – despite having her own successful brand – was a “gold digger.”
Nick has already been seen training with Strictly pro Luba Mushtuk in preparation for the upcoming series.
And Katie has brushed off any suggestion of a Strictly curse.
She has confided in pals and we exclusively reported how she’s one hundred per cent comfortable with Nick’s latest telly gig.
They told us: “Katie isn’t worried about the curse.
“After Nick signed up for the show they joked about it, they’re very confident in their relationship.
“Obviously Katie is stunning and Nick definitely isn’t looking elsewhere – why would he? This is nothing but a job for him.”
