TUI has announced it’s reintroducing direct flights from East Midlands Airport to Sharm El Sheikh next year. 

The first flight is scheduled for Thursday, 26 March 2026 and the service will operate twice-weekly on Mondays and Thursdays – flight time will be five and a half hours.

TUI UK&I Commercial Director Chris Logan said: “Due to strong customer demand, we are thrilled to once again connect the East Midlands with the stunning Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh.  

“With hundreds of amazing hotels to choose from and guaranteed sunshine, Sharm El Sheikh is the perfect destination for a summer holiday.

“We have plenty of amazing all-inclusive deals with flexible flying options, and some of the best splash parks to entertain the kids”.     

During the summer months, temperatures in Sharm el Sheikh sit between 35 and 38C.

Sharm el Sheikh is also a popular winter sun destination because its average temperature is 24C which is around 17C warmer than the UK for that time of year.

It’s not just flights, TUI also offers all-inclusive holiday packages to the resort.

TUI offers a four-night holiday to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt staying at the 4T+ Rixos Sharm El Sheikh.

An all-inclusive basis starts from £1237 per person.

TUI offers a seven-night holiday to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt staying at the 5T TUI BLUE Sensatori Coral Sea.

An all-inclusive basis here start from £1349 per person – which works out at £192.70 pp per night.

Both are based on two adults sharing a room with flights leaving in summer 2026.

Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt was once one of the most popular holiday destinations for Brits, particularly through the 1990s.

It remained popular until 2015, when a terror attack on a Russian passenger plane killed all 224 onboard.

Flights from the UK were stopped for four years, with TUI reintroducing holiday packages in 2019.

This was following the UK Foreign Office issuing new guidance which said Sharm el-Sheikh was considered safe after the airport security was overhauled and updated.

However, just a few months later Covid hit, meaning the holiday resort once again saw tourist levels drop.

TUI reintroduced the route again in summer 2022, and summer 2023 due to the rise in popular demand.

In recent years, Egypt has been named the ‘best value for money’ destination, according to the Post Office Travel Money analysis.

On average, meals and drinks are significantly cheaper than in the UK.

Emmerdale’s big Robert Sugden return falls flat as ratings are revealed – and it’s bad news for the soap

EMMERDALE’S big return for Robert Sugden failed to impress fans – with ratings DROPPING from the previous night.

The ITV soap’s big comeback for actor Ryan Hawley six years was hoped to bring in a major ratings boost for the cash-strapped channel.

However that failed to materialise with his return actually seeing viewers switch off.

In fact the episode broadcast the evening before his comeback pulled in just over 3.1m viewers.

By Wednesday, the day of Robert’s big return – and despite ITV axing the episode from its streaming service ITVX in an effort to get people to watch the TV broadcast – just over 3m tuned in with the show losing viewers.

Worst still – the next night that continued Robert’s return saw a further 600,000 viewers switch off.

In contrast the first edition after Robert was returned to prison, the following Monday’s episode rebounded to 3.1m.

A source said: “It’s not ideal for such a big moment to not pull in the numbers. 

“Bosses expected a great deal of excitement from fans about Robert’s return but it doesn’t seem to have transferred into actual ratings. 

“The so-called Robron coupling was seen as a previous heyday for the show to tap into – but the reality appears to be quite different.

“With all the cuts ITV is having to make, people will be wondering if his return is worth it.”

Actor Ryan, who quit the show in 2019, recently revealed he had been struggling for work during his six year absence from the show.

It even led him to move to Brazil with his wife Daisy Prestes de Oliveira and their children for a life away from the spotlight.

“I’ve got to do things like All Creatures Great and Small, Miss Scarlet, Casualty and Silent Witness,” he told the Mirror.

“I wasn’t as busy as I would have liked, but that meant I got to be around my kids a lot, so I was very lucky.”

The ITV soaps both suffered a blow at this year’s British Soap Awards with Emmerdale winning just two awards and Coronation Street on compared to EastEnders’ eight and Hollyoaks‘ three.

The easy way to stop flies coming into your home and dying on your windowsill this summer using a £1 seasoning buy

FLIES are a common pest in the summer.

And although they are harmless, they are annoying to deal with when all you want to do is sit down and relax in the summer heat.

Here’s how to keep flies out of the home this summer[/caption]

While we often open the windows or doors in the summer to keep us cool, flies also have the same idea.

The reason we see an influx in the heat is because they too are trying to get out of the sun’s rays.

This can often lead to flies buzzing around the home before eventually falling dead and creating a mess on your windowsill.

Thankfully, an expert has shared a simple way to keep them away for good.

While commercial fly sprays are convenient, they contain toxic chemicals that can pollute your home and be poisonous to breathe in.

This might lead you to try a more natural method to keep them away.

Andre Kazimierski, a cleaning expert from Sophia’s Cleaning, and has shared how you can easily keep flies away without spraying chemicals using a kitchen staple.

He revealed some cayenne pepper, which many will already have in their seasoning drawer is all you need.

He said: “Mix cayenne pepper with a cup of water to make a simple spray that repels common fruit flies.

To be exact, mix one tablespoon of cayenne pepper in two cups of hot water.”

 It may sound odd, but flies rely on their sense of smell to find food and to navigate their surroundings.

However, cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which has an incredibly strong smell and is also spicy so will really irritate flies senses. 

Not only do flies find cayenne pepper uncomfortable, but it makes them less interested in lingering about as it will mask the smell of food that attracts them to homes.

To keep flies away with the DIY solution, you will need to boil 475ml of water in a kettle, then pour the water into a bowl.

Keep pests out all summer

IF you want to ensure that your home is pest free this summer, here's what you need to know.

Hornets and wasps – hate the smell of peppermint oil so spraying this liberally around your patio or balcony can help to keep them at bay.

Moths – acidic household white vinegar is effective for deterring moths. Soak some kitchen roll in vinegar and leave it in your wardrobe as a deterrent.

Flying ants – herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, mint, chilli pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, or garlic act as deterrents.

Mosquitoes – plants, herbs and essential oil fragrances can help deter mozzies inside and out. Try eucalyptus, lavender and lemongrass.

Add one or two tablespoons of cayenne pepper to the bowl and give it a good stir. 

Wait for the water to cool down before placing it into an empty spray bottle.

You can usually buy spray bottles in the cleaning section of most supermarkets but pound shops, garden centres and hardware stores will also sell them. 

Spray the solution around windows, doorways, kitchen and anywhere else flies are known buzz about. 

Flies will naturally stay far away from the spicy scent so your home is more likely to stay insect free throughout the summer. 

Cayenne pepper can travel in the air after spraying and get into pets eyes so generally should not be used if you have a cat or dog. 

You can purchase a container of the seasoning for as little as £1 in Tesco.

Moment police dog sinks teeth into snivelling thug after he brutally attacked woman in street robbery

THIS is the moment a police dog sank its teeth into a squealing thug after he attacked a woman in the street.

Leslie Sedgewick followed the lone woman before ambushing her from behind as she walked to work in Middlesbrough.

The 44-year-old then punched and kicked her to the ground before stealing her mobile during the attack.

She managed to flee the horror and alert police after suffering a suspected broken nose and a chipped tooth.

Footage shows PC Lee Whitehouse arrive on the scene with police dog Kira following the December 20 robbery.

The cop told Sedgewick to stop but he instead fled to nearby garages where he was tackled by PD Kira.

Bodycam shows the thug squealing in terror as the dog keeps a grip on his arm.

At one point, he pathetically squeals: “I’m sorry!”

Police later discovered Sedgwick had changed his clothes and dumped the woman’s stolen items at a house nearby.

He has now been jailed for four years and five months after he pleaded guilty to robbery.

The victim told Teesside Crown Court how she had to hide her horror injuries from her child “so she didn’t see and ask what had happened to me”.

She also revealed she was “petrified” during the attack and did not know if she was “going to die”.

The woman added: “I am constantly in fear that I don’t know who is around me or what they are capable of doing.”

Detective Constable Pierce Ditchburn said: “This was a terrifying attack on a lone woman early in the morning, just a few days before Christmas.

“Leslie Sedgewick targeted the woman for her mobile phone and has been attempting to steal a bike in the moments leading up to this attack.

“No one should ever have to be afraid to go anywhere alone.

“I’m pleased that Sedgewick is now behind bars, and hope that this justice can help provide some comfort to the victim in this case.”

Abbie Duggar shatters in-laws’ modesty rules and rocks a swimsuit with husband John David on Cayman Islands getaway

ABBIE Duggar has shattered her in-laws’ modesty rules while rocking a swimsuit with her husband John David.

The loved up couple, who are parents to two children, have been on a Cayman Islands getaway – where they even visited Stingray City.

The Duggars are known for their modesty rules, with the girls famously covering up and adhering to a modesty dress code that discourages revealing clothing.

This means that bikinis and swimming costumes are ruled out.

But Abbie, 32, has now shown some skin while rocking a blue swimsuit while on holiday with her husband.

Abbie and John’s Instagram account shared a selection of snaps from their recent vacation.

In some of the snaps, Abbie can be seen wearing a blue bathing suit while enjoying herself in the water.

In the caption, they penned: “When the client’s Memorial Day plans go from ‘just a quiet weekend at home’ to ‘how about flying us to the Cayman Islands? And bring your wife!’ …Safe to say I cleared my schedule.”

Reacting to the snaps, fans went wild.

“You look gorgeous Abbie,” swooned one.

“Abbie is prettiest woman I’ve ever seen seriously. Inside and out you are gorgeous,” penned a second.

A third then said: “Abbie keeps getting prettier. What a blessing – perks of the job!”

While a fourth wrote: “Abbie-you are gorgeous and have the best curls! Beautiful couple!”

And a fifth said: “She always has the cutest dresses.”

Meanwhile, others reacted to the selection of snaps as a whole, writing: “Wow!!! Beautiful pics!!!! You two look great!!!!”

“Cutest couple your love just spills out from your pictures,” said a second.

Duggar Family Tree

How many children and grandchildren do Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have?

  • Jim Bob and Michelle are parents to 19 children
  • The couple has nine girls and 10 boys and all of their children have names that begin with the letter J
  • Joshua, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace, and Josie, were all raised in the family home in Tontitown, Arkansas

A third then added: “How great is that?! Hope you two had the best time!”

And a fourth penned: “Y’all are the best couple!!!”

Abbie married John on November 3, 2018, after a 5-month courtship. 

The couple met in May 2018 at a church event in Oklahoma.

Abbie and John share two children: Grace Annette Duggar, born in January 2020; and Charlie Duggar, born in September 2022.

John is a pilot, and Abbie is a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Though Abbie is a trained nurse, she currently focuses on being a mom. 

The couple also participate in mission work with MEDIC Corps in the Philippines. 

In regards to the modesty rules that the Duggars adhere to, Jinger Duggar (Vuolo) and husband Jeremy Vuolo’s 2021 book, revealed all.

In their bookThe Hope We Hold, Jinger explained mum Michelle’s reasoning behind the strict dress code.

She said: “My mom had always dressed us girls in skirts and dresses, a standard that was taken from Deuteronomy 22:5, which says, ‘A woman shall not wear a man’s garment’.”

Jinger added: “Modesty was a huge topic in our house, and we believed that wearing skirts instead of pants was a central part of being modest.

“But I wanted to discover for myself what the Bible had to say.”

He’s had to battle health issues in the past, but is still one of the most-loved analysts in the country.

Bradshaw revealed earlier this year he already has plans to retire from Fox NFL Sunday.

But until that day, he has continued to grow his business empire off the air.

The legendary quarterback has announced he has now written a cookbook.

He joined his family in penning it, called ‘The Bradshaw Family Cookbook’.

It will be on bookshelves from September 16, this year.

Bradshaw has added family recipes alongside his wife Tammy in it.

His daughters Rachel and Lacey Hester, and chef son-in-law Noah Hester have also had a say.

“Food and family go hand in hand for us Bradshaws,” said Terry in a press release.

“We’re loud, we joke around a lot, and we sure know how to eat.

“This cookbook is all about sharing those moments.

“The stories, the laughs, and the flavors that make our kitchen the heart of our home.

“Whether you’re flipping a steak on the grill or digging into a big ol’ plate of Bradshaw beans.

“You’re getting a taste of what it means to be part of our family.”

'I want him to be great'

Terry Bradshaw has given Tom Brady some advice ahead of the seven-time Super Bowl champion joining him on Fox's NFL coverage.

And the Pittsburgh Steelers icon said he is rooting for Brady to succeed.

Tom has always had a protection thing there,” Bradshaw told US Weekly.

“We know about his wife, we know about his kids. We know a little bit about him, but we don’t really know him. In Tom’s situation, there is a certain amount of unknown that spurs on curiosity.

“I want him to be great, and I think he will be. But we don’t know enough about him.

“Will we see a different side? Will he be funny? Will he be witty? Will he break the game down properly?

“I’m pulling for him, because television is not easy. You can’t lie to the camera because it picks it up.”

The book is being co-authored by the award-winning James O. Fraioli.

It also draws inspiration from Bradshaw’s grandmother.

His contribution to it include spicy pork canoes with cilantro sour cream.

He also reveals his recipe for spicy Italian sausage and vegetable and kale soup.

Meanwhile, Missouri-born Tammy talks about her home cooking including fried green tomatoes and buttermilk pecan pie.

Lacey and Noah Hester added their twist into the book on what they produce at their Texas-based restaurant.

You can pre-order the book for $34.99 here.
