As Rebecca Bradford - or Dr Rebecca Bradford, as she can now be called - walked onto the platform to accept her degree in medicine, there was no proud parent clapping her on. She did catch the eye of a member of the university staff, though, and the pride writ large on his face moved her to tears. 'He was a part of the 'widening participation' crew at the university, and had been part of my whole journey, involved in offering me a place to begin with,' she explains. 'If it hadn't been for him, I simply wouldn't have been there. As I walked up the stairs to the stage, I put my hand on my heart and said 'thank you'. Then I thought: 'Holy moly. I've done it.'

Tracey Connelly, 42, has been recalled to prison after breaching her licence conditions for a second time while serving an indefinite sentence for allowing the death of her 17-month-old son at home in north London in 2007. Twisted Connelly was ordered to serve at least five years after her son, whose real name is Peter, was tortured to death by herself, her lover Steven Barker and his brother Jason Owen - the injuries missed by failing social service and health workers. She was released in 2013, recalled in 2015 and then released again in July 2022. But MailOnline can reveal Connelly has been reinventing herself as 'Connie' on the official WeightWatchers app for the last nine months.

Prince Harry 'showed he feels at home with the Spencers' by staying with his uncle at Althorp House during his trip to the UK last week, a royal commentator said today. The Duke of Sussex is thought to have visited Charles Spencer at the ancestral home and final resting place of his late mother Princess Diana in Northamptonshire. Harry stayed with Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, at Althorp after going to the funeral of Diana's brother-in-law Lord Robert Fellowes last Thursday, according to People. And royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline today that Harry staying at Althorp 'emphasises his links with his mother's family' - far more so than with his father King Charles III as he remains estranged from most of the Royal Family. Last Thursday's service took place two days before the 27th anniversary of Diana's death on Saturday. Her final resting place is on an island on the Oval Lake at Althorp.
