Hundreds of thousands of households may be able to cut their council tax bill by requesting that their property is put in a lower band, we can reveal. Those who suspect they are in the incorrect council tax band have little to lose by challenging it as around a third are successful and end up paying less - and just one in every 2,500 end up paying more.

Since the height of her fame in the mid-2000s, the former child pop star has spent her fortune on a £500,000 lavish manor with ex Gavin Henson, an £800,000 yacht, an Ibiza girls' holiday with a £10,000 bill and, more recently, a £1.5 million hippie retreat.Despite the 38-year-old telling of her financial misfortune and having to downsize her home, it can be revealed she is sitting on assets of over £3.5 million in one of her companies and made a tidy profit of £700,000 on the sale of her house. Charlotte Church Limited, of which she is the sole director, saw its capital and reserves grow from £3.36million to £3.5million in accounts, which were filed last month. However, her The Dreaming Limited, which owns the woman-focused countryside retreat which she recently launched to paying guests, has net liabilities of £551,000.

The singer once dubbed the 'Voice of an Angel' revealed this week that the £25million fortune she amassed at the height of her early teens has all but disappeared. Discovered at just 11, Charlotte's stratospheric rise to fame was overseen by her mum Maria and step-father James, who were keen to take the glittering financial opportunities that came the family's way. However, for two years at the height of her teenage fame, Charlotte famously sacked her mother as manager - and didn't speak to them for two years. Maria now runs a dog grooming business in her native Wales, while James received a devastating health diagnosis in 2019. (Pictured from left: Maria, Charlotte and James Church.

The former defender for Oxford United and Preston North End has been imprisoned at HMP Nottingham.

The Labour deputy leader lashed out as she faced jibes from Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden and other Tory MPs in the Commons, as they stood in for Mr Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer. Ms Rayner is being investigated by Greater Manchester Police over whether she correctly registered to vote at her main home almost a decade ago, amid claims that she lived elsewhere with her husband. She tackled the subject head-on at the start of DPMQs, using it as a way to attack the government over leasehold reform. But she later went on the offensive with an attack on the PM, who is in Germany holding talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The former escort, now in her 60s, has spoken about the murder of her late husband in the south of France in 2004 in a Channel 5 documentary, A Very British Scandal: The Earl & The Escort. The couple (pictured left) met in 2002 when he booked her as an escort for the night, and the pair married months after meeting much to the dismay of his family in the UK. However, their marriage quickly fell apart and in 2004 the Earl asked Jamila Ben M'Barek for a divorce. In November of that year, he went missing and five months later, his body was found in a ravine near Cannes. M'Barek (right, in court) and her brother Mohammed were convicted in 2007 of the Earl's murder and sentenced to more than 20 years in prison, but M'Barek was out in nine.

His cheeky public antics over the years have led his legion of fans to christen him 'Boss Baby' after the Hollywood cartoon movie about a toddler who rules the roost. But my, how quickly little Prince Louis is growing up. While he still has the same warm eyes, infectious smile and general zest for life that has seen him repeatedly steal the show at royal events, the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales is big enough to wear Prince George's grown-up hand-me-downs. In this case it is a £39 Pepa & Co checked shirt in a delightful new birthday portrait taken by Kate.

Emily Ratajkowski and Alexa Chung were among the glamorous pals who turned out to support Victoria Beckham at the launch event for her Mango clothing collection launch in Spain on Tuesday.

Zoe Ball has told fans she is 'bereft' following the death of her 'dear mama' Julia. The BBC Radio 2 star announced in early March that her mother had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was being 'incredibly brave'. Earlier this week, the 53-year-old told her BBC Radio 2 listeners Julia had been transferred to a hospice, as she dedicated a Bon Jovi song to paramedics who helped her. Just before 5am on Wednesday, the much-loved broadcaster shared the news of her mother's passing on Instagram. In a tribute, she said: 'Sleep tight dear Mama. 'Thank you for teaching us how to love unconditionally, to always show courage and empathy. And how, even in the darkest of days, laughter is the greatest of gifts.

Two chief fire officers are under investigation over claims they exchanged sexist and derogatory messages about women including talking about killing a female colleague. Shropshire chief fire officer Simon Hardiman and his deputy Adam Matthews described women in the service as 'lazy' and 'useless' in WhatsApp exchanges sent over more than a year. Several of the messages - which were leaked to ITV news - targeted Area Manager Jan Morris, who resigned from the service this year. In one message sent in February last year Matthews reportedly said: 'She does the square root of f*** all. In March 2023 he added: 'I've got no loyalty to the lazy cow' before sharing a cartoon GIF of someone being thrown under a bus.

It's something that many dog owners do on a daily basis. But new research might make you think twice about sneaking leftovers to your dog under the dinner table. The study reveals the human foods that could be making your pet fat - including grilled salmon and scrambled eggs. 'Most of us don't realise just how calorie-dense our food can be for our pets,' said Lisa Melvin, a spokesperson for Pet Range. 'This is especially the case for smaller dogs and breeds which are more obesity-prone, such as pugs and labradors. For small dogs like pugs, a single sausage can take up almost half of their daily recommended calorie intake.'

Fans of Arsenal and England footballer Declan Rice have jumped to the defense of his long-term girlfriend after she deleted her Instagram account over negative comments about her appearance. Lauryn Fryer, who met Rice at school in 2016 and raises a son with the footballer, had been routinely targeted by merciless online trolls over a period of months, prompting her to delete every image on her grid. These included innocent photos of the couple on overseas breaks, attending various events and parting at festivals.

The video, shared on TikTok, shows the comedian, from Fife, onstage competing in Cambridge for the Chortle Student Comedy Award. Dressed in a red T-shirt, he joked about having trouble with the microphone stand, making the audience howl with laughter.

Lady Gabriella Windsor's friends are said to be rallying around her after the death of her husband in February. War hero and financier Thomas Kingston (left, with Lady Gabriella) was found dead aged 45 at his parents' home in the Cotswolds. Yesterday, his wife Lady Gabriella Windsor (inset) turned 43. She has moved out of the Notting Hill home she shared with her husband and moved back into Kensington Palace with her parents Prince and Princess Michael of Kent (right), the Mail's Richard Eden revealed. One of her friends said: 'They wanted Ella to be with them, and she didn't want to be alone in the home she shared with Tom. All of us are rallying round and she's going to be OK.' Kingston died from a 'traumatic head wound', an inquest heard in March. A gun was found near his body in an outbuilding at his parents' home in the Cotswolds.

An elderly couple have been left 'unable to sleep' after buying a a £600,000 new-build home with over 200 defects - including wonky floors and ceilings. Pensioners John and Liz Pritchard said they have been 'distraught' since moving into the five-bed townhouse in Wellington, Somerset last year. The couple, who are both in their 70s, have been locked in a battle with Boivs Homes to get the 'bodge job' fixed and claim they've been 'fobbed off, ignored and strung along' by the developer - with little work completed. They say they were confronted with 'appalling' issues from the moment they stepped foot in the house, after noticing their furniture was wobbling. The pair are now demanding that Bovis steps in to carry out repair works immediately, after alleging their emails and telephone calls were repeatedly ignored.

The fashion designer and singer, 50, has collaborated with the Spanish high street retailer to offer her designs at a slightly more affordable price, but not to those above size 14. It's left once-excited fans feeling deflated (insets), with one remarking: 'I feel left out and like I'm not good enough. The retailer offers clothing ranging from XXS to XXL and in sizes 4 - 16, although not every piece is available in all sizes. It also has a plus size range that starts at size 16 and extends to size 26.

Disgraced singer Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, was accused in an interview with his alleged victim published in the News Of The World newspaper back in 1993. Yet the following year he was given a starring role in the BBC's Children In Need coverage on November 25, 1994, in what critics have now called a 'shocking' lapse. Host Terry Wogan introduced a performance featuring Glitter alongside former Radio 1 DJs Mike Read, Tony Blackburn and Ed Stewart dressed up like the singer. Footage was aired again last night in a new ITV documentary about the disgraced star, Glitter: The Popstar Paedophile - putting a spotlight back on the BBC, which has previously faced an inquiry into its handling of Glitter's fellow paedophile Savile.

Work to live or live to work? It is a question that has split the internet in two after a 'middle class' man documented his monotonous daily routine sparking a bitter existential debate about modern society. TikTok creator @hubs.life, has created a stir over his video over his daily routine as a 'middle-class man' living in America. The 29-year-old man's routine has prompted a wave of horror from many online, with some declaring it to be: 'literally the saddest thing I've seen in a very long time' - however others have fired back, insisting that he appears to live a very happy and normal lifestyle.

She was so ill in her final years that her death was seen as a blessing. One of her closest friends was 'delighted' when told the news of her passing, only wishing it had come sooner. Wallis Simpson , the woman who became the Duchess of Windsor after marrying the man who chose love over duty, died on April 24 1986. She was 89. The American widow of the former King Edward VIII had been beset by illness after her husband's death in 1972 and lived out her final years almost alone in her Paris home, unable to walk or leave a room that had become her world.

It's been less than three weeks since Rishi Sunak was roasted online for wearing trainers in Downing Street in a bid to 'appear normal'. And now Keir Starmer appears to have fallen into the same trap. The Labour leader, 61, cut an extremely casual figure to visit the village of Cawood in North Yorkshire yesterday. The father-of-two opted for a waxed navy jacket, dark jeans and some £90 trainers for the occasion. However, Rishi and Keir aren't the only politicians to raise eyebrows with their casual footwear in recent years. Earlier this year, a high-profile US politician caused a stir when they were spotted wearing a pair of sneakers from a Californian brand. Meanwhile, a current MP opted for a pair of eco-friendly, vegan trainers to walk a red carpet in London last summer. Another famous UK politician amused Sky News viewers when they turned up to a formal interview in a pair of white trainers. So can YOU guess the public figure from their choice of footwear?

He was at it again when Lancashire's second team took on Warwickshire on Tuesday, this time going one better as he scored 116 from 165 balls.

The mammals are drawn out of their habitat in search for food and accidentally consume plastic and waste from the piles of rubbish surrounding the forests in the east of the country. This poses a severe threat to the elephants' lives and their increased proximity to locals also causes conflict with the peril that they pose to local villagers by eating crops. Photographer Damith Danthanarayana captured these shocking images of a herd of elephants in Ampara, Eastern Province, Sri Lanka. He said: 'During our exploration, we encountered a small elephant injured by a homemade explosive. Conflicts between elephants and humans emphasise the need for conservation and proper waste management. Immediate action is crucial to safeguard both wildlife and local communities.'

Mr Fooks had dug 2ft deep using a pickaxe by torchlight when he found a smashed glazed pottery bowl full to the brim with the 400-year-old gold and silver coins. The agricultural engineer counted 1,029 coins which included rare King James I and King Charles I examples. The hoard is believed to have been buried between 1642 and 1644 during the English Civil War for safekeeping by the owner who never returned to recover it.

Since 2012, Sarah Vaeth, 48, from Portland, Oregon, has been slowly making her frame smaller by wearing extremely restrictive corsets for hours on end. The mother-of-one is determined to break the Guinness World Record for the smallest waist, which is 15 inches - and she's now only half an inch away. But getting there has not been easy, as she revealed last year that her bizarre obsession has had negative long-term affects on her body that have left her reeling in pain. In an episode of the TLC show Crack Addicts, Sarah opened up about some of the downsides of wearing the confining piece of clothing while visiting acclaimed chiropractor Dr. Alessandra Colón.
