Corrie's Helen Flanagan goes back to her roots as she struggles to maintain peroxide blonde crop

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Bombshell: Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan's transformative peroxide blonde crop is growing out already


When she dyed her hair peroxide blonde, Helen Flanagan perhaps didn't think about how much maintenance the new 'do would require.

The 20-year-old actress, who plays Rosie Webster in Coronation Street, stepped out in Manchester today with her dark roots clear to see.

However, Flanagan seemed either unaware or unconcerned about her faux pas as she enjoyed the sunshine while shopping in the city centre.

Flanagan looked in good spirits as she strolled around, wearing a Noddy T-shirt bearing the slogan 'King of the Road' teamed with black jeans and a pair of huge sunglasses with bright pink flip-flops.

Following her transformation last month, a spokesperson for the actress told MailOnline: 'Helen has had the same hairstyle and colour for many years, and decided the time was right for a big transformation.

'She is absolutely thrilled with her new hairstyle and how it has made her feel.'

Flanagan's new look came during her three-month break from ITV soap Corrie to concentrate on her personal life.

After seeing her 'do for the first time, a spokesperson for the programme said they would be thinking of ways to write in the makeover upon her return.

The spokesperson said: 'We love Helen's look and knew she was having it done. It will be mentioned in some way on her return.'

One of the main reason's for Flanagan's break from the show was to concentrate on her relationship with footballer Scott Sinclair.

However, the 22-year-old striker has yet to comment on his girlfriend's new look.
Scott currently resides in Swansea after signing a three-year deal with Swansea in August.

Days after two billion watched his wedding, Prince William returns to the day job

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Prince William returning to his RAF Valley in Anglesey today, days after his wedding was watched by two billion around the world


A few days ago his every move was watched by an estimated two billion people.

But today it was back to more familiar territory as Prince William returned to work at his RAF base in Anglesey.

Wearing sunglasses he was behind the steering wheel of an Audi seen arriving at the Air and Sea Rescue HQ.

It was thought Prince William and his bride would honeymoon this week until it emerged that the new Duke of Cambridge had to return to work.

Despite his status as second in line to the throne he, like his colleagues, had to apply for leave like his colleagues.

He was given a week off for the wedding but was told that he would have to split any further holiday requests – hence the delayed departure date.

The Mail revealed this week that the couple are due to fly out by private jet in mid-May before being taken by helicopter from the mainland to a tropical retreat.

Two Scotland Yard protection officers checked the destination a fortnight ago to ensure it would give the couple the privacy they crave.

The Mail is not publishing details of the location, and it is understood that not even Kate is aware of the exact destination.

The Prince is not the only wedding guest who returned to their everyday life just days after the global event of the Royal Wedding.

Five days ago the Queen was the proud grandmother overseeing a wedding watched by two billion people.

But after the bank holiday it was back to the daily routine for the monarch yesterday as she visited Newmarket, Cambridge.

Joey Essex shows who wears the trousers as he steps out in bright orange boots AGAIN

By SARAH BULL

Who wears the trousers? Joey Essex does, as he defied girlfriend Sam Faiers' ban on his orange Ugg boots in Brentwood, Essex, yesterday


When he arrived for a Only Way Is Essex glamping session in bright orange Ugg boots, girlfriend Sam Faiers was quick to ban him from ever wearing the fluroescent footwear again.

However, Joey Essex yesterday proved who wears the trousers in their relationship as he defied Faiers's ban and stepped out proudly showing in the Uggs in Brentwood.

And Essex went all out with his 80s-inspired look in a tight white Hollister T-shirt and matching navy jogging bottoms.


Loved-up: The couple sneak in a kiss as they stroll along


The 20-year-old teamed his look with a pair of huge sunglasses and his favourite mode of transport - his white Smart car.

Girlfriend Sam grinned and beared it as she strolled along hand-in-hand with Joey, doing her best to ignore his questionable fashion sense.

Joey tweeted an explanation for his outfit this morning when he wrote on his Twitter page: 'Sam let me wear my orange ugg boots because I forgot my trainers peeps!!! So comfterble (sic) mannnnn... Who wants orange ugg's?'


Ban: Faiers was stunned when Essex arrived for a glamping session wearing the orange boots


Sleepy: Essex posted a picture of himself asleep on the plane today after flying back from a personal appearance in Scotland


It remains to be seen how the pair's relationship will continue, however, as Sunday's episode saw the couple's first argument after Sam refused to let Joey go with her to Marbella, insisting she wanted to go with her girlfriends.

The season finale of The Only Way Is Essex is on ITV2 tonight at 10pm.

Floored! The moment female 'sexism row' referee was flattened by football player...

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Full force: Assistant referee Sian Massey feels the power of Cardiff City player Kevin McNaughton's shoulder as she is hurled out of his way


This is the moment that the female linesman at the centre of a sexism row is violently knocked to the ground by a Cardiff City football player.

Defender Kevin McNaughton is seen running to keep the ball in play when he appears to drop his shoulder and steer himself into Sian Massey.

She is hit with such force that her head snaps back and she is flung across the pitch.

Ungentlemanly McNaughton simply gets up and walks away without even checking to see if she is injured, let alone help her up or apologise.


Kevin McNaughton stops the ball from going over the line, just where Sian Massey was standing


Some viewers have demanded that he should say sorry for his actions. However his agent has said he does not need to apologise for anything.

Massey was at the centre of a row over comments made by Andy Gray and Richard Keys who said that women 'don't know the offside rule', ultimately leading to them losing their jobs at Sky Sports.

Video footage from Monday's match between Cardiff City and Middlesbrough shows McNaughton running for the ball to try to keep it in play, but he was blocked by opposing player Rhys Williams.

He manages to stop the ball from going over the line but then continues running at full pelt, and looks like he swerves, hurtling into Miss Massey.


She is flung along the pitch a couple of metres by the force of the 'collision'


She takes the full brute force of his shoulder barge and is sent flying to the ground without an apology or offer of help back to her feet.

Fortunately, Miss Massey takes the event in good humour and is seen smiling as she gets back up off the ground.

The football crowd cheered as she falls to the ground but, keeping her composure and professionalism, she gets back up and even gives a goal kick before having a chuckle with referee Graham Scott.


Massey is flung to the ground but McNaughton runs off without as much as an apology


Some have speculated on YouTube that the actions appear to be deliberate. One user said: 'He changes direction. It's deliberate and disgusting. The fact that he just trots off makes it more obvious.'

Another said: 'He makes the challenge on the Boro player and then deliberately side steps and increases his speed into the path of Sian Massey before using his body weight to barge her over.

'She's lucky not to have any broken bones.'


She sees the funny side of the incident, however, and shares a chuckle with referee Graham Scott


A club spokesman said: 'Kevin didn't do it on purpose - he was trying to get the ball.'

John Viola, McNaughton's agent, said the allegations were 'absolute nonsense'.

He added: 'He is not that type of guy, he is the nicest player you would ever meet in your life so anyone suggesting he did it on purpose is crazy.'

When asked why he didn't stop to help her back to her feet or apologise he said: 'He was concentrating on the game. He is a focused footballer.

'I don't know (if he will be contacting her to apologise), I'm abroad at the moment and I haven't spoken to him about that.'
