Folli Follie have recently been involved in a financial scandal. Debenhams don't want Ashley too involved and the majority of fans at Newcastle United want to see the back of him.

Slum landlord family ordered to pay £250,000 after cramming 31 tenants into four-bedroom home

Harsha Shah, her daughter Chandni and brother Sanjay were bringing in around £112,000 a year by "stuffing 31 people into appalling conditions", the authority said.

The tenants were forced into "sleeping shifts" as night workers would swap with those who had daytime working hours at the property in Napier Road, Wembley, council officers found.

Enforcement officers from Brent Council also found a woman living in a shed in the back garden with no light or heat after a raid in 2016.

There will be no delivery and collection service from Christmas Eve through to Boxing day, however normal service will resume on Thursday December 27.

On New Year’s Eve and New Year's Day there will be no deliveries or collections. In Scotland, January 2 is a bank holiday so there will be no deliveries or collections north of the border.

When are the last dates for sending post abroad?

Monday, December 10 for Greece
