HOLLY Willoughby has revealed a major Dancing On Ice shake-up as a huge part of the show will return next week.

Fans of Dancing On Ice were previously left furious after the skate-off was removed – meaning the celebrity and pro skater with the fewest public votes were dumped immediately.

But during last night’s live show Holly, 43, told the likes of Charlie Brooks and Anton Ferdinand that they could have to battle it out to stay in the competition.

She said: “Listen, this is very important – I have an announcement to make.

“Next week things are going to change somewhat because the skate-off is back. That does change everything.”

After the skate-off was initially axed viewers insisted the end of the show felt “rushed”.

One wrote on social media: “Tonight’s ending was terribly rushed and very abrupt! Change the format!”

And another said: “What a pointless way to end the show.”

It was a dramatic weekend for Dancing On Ice, with professional skater Vanessa Bauer being forced to quit the show due to injury.

Vanessa, 28 – who was partnered with Love Island’s Chris Taylor – told fans: “I’m here today with rather upsetting news. I am unfortunately not going to be able to continue on Dancing on Ice with Chris.

“I unfortunately had a little accident backstage last week on Dancing on Ice just before the live show on Sunday.

“And I didn’t realise how bad it was then, but we did an MRI and it turned out that I have a completely torn ligament, grade three sprain injury and a major grade two sprain injury.”

Chris will continue with the competition, skating instead with Robin Johnstone.

Last night’s episode also saw Sir Steve Redgrave become the third celebrity to be eliminated from the show.

TOTTENHAM have made a shock bid for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi, according to reports.

Ange Postecoglou’s side remain keen to sign a defender before tonight’s transfer deadline, despite recruiting Kevin Danso from RC Lens on Sunday.

Spurs’ defence has been decimated by injuries this season.

Cristian Romero and Radu Dragusin are both missing with long-term issues, while Micky van de Ven has only recently returned to fitness following a lengthy lay-off.

Spurs have been attempting to sign Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea.

According to transfer reporter Ben Jacobs, Tottenham agreed a deal with the Blues worth around £5m to take Disasi for the rest of the season.

The Frenchman would rather join Aston Villa, however, having already agreed terms with Unai Emery’s side.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Tottenham are still trying for Disasi, although conflicting reports say that their pursuit is over.

Romano also adds that Spurs made an offer for Guehi in the last 48 hours.

The bid was turned down, however, with Tottenham likely to wait until the summer before trying again for the England star.

Guehi, 24, only has 18 months remaining on his Palace contract.

Spurs supporters have been left shocked by their Guehi bid.

One wrote on social media: “I beg ur pardon.”

While a second added: “Wow!”

Tottenham have had a busy last few days of the transfer window.

The Lilywhites agreed a £50million deal for Mathys Tel, only for the Bayern Munich forward to turn them down.

They were then snubbed by Fikayo Tomori, who opted to stay at AC Milan.

On Saturday night they hijacked Wolves’ swoop for Danso, signing the defender on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy for £20m in the summer.

The Austrian international has agreed a five-year deal that will come into effect at the end of the season.

VLADIMIR Putin’s forces have unveiled their barmiest “turtle tank” yet as Russia scrambles to protect its dwindling armour from Ukraine’s deadly drones.

Footage from Russian state TV showed a Soviet-era BMP-1 coated in metal sheets and bizarre hair-like bristles as it ploughed through the battlefield.

The spiked, “hairy” vehicle was spotted near Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region, where Moscow’s troops have been steadily advancing.

The weird modifications are part of Moscow‘s desperate attempt to shield armoured vehicles from first-person-view (FPV) drones, which have become a battlefield menace.

The “hairy” BMP appears to be an evolution of Russia’s crude “cope cages,” the improvised metal shields first seen on tanks at the start of the war.

But instead of just flat plates, the BMP’s open back is covered by hanging curly sheaves of steel, while thick broom-like bristles jut out from its sides.

Oleksandr Danylyuk, a military and defence analyst at RUSI, told The Telegraph he had not seen such defences used before in this war.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian weapons expert Valerii Riabykh suggested the bristles might be designed to “prematurely initiate the fuses on FPV warheads” before they strike the vehicle directly.

The move comes as Russia and Ukraine engage in an escalating game of drone warfare, with both sides rapidly adapting to counter each other’s tactics.

FPV drones have proved devastating, especially against older armoured vehicles, as they can hit where defences are weakest—on top.

Initially, electronic warfare (EW) systems proved effective at jamming remote-controlled drones, with military officials estimating that 75 per cent of drones were being knocked out, The Telegraph reports.

But the introduction of “unjammable” fibre optic-controlled FPV drones has forced Moscow to get creative with its defences.

VLAD’S DESPERATE TANK DESIGNS

This is far from the first time Putin’s forces have resorted to makeshift solutions.

 Last year, Russian troops were spotted rolling into battle with bizarre “turtle tanks”.

The Soviet-era T-80s were covered in steel sheds and chain fringes in a bid to survive drone and missile attacks.

The hulking vehicles, which debuted in Donetsk Oblast, became a symbol of Russia‘s reliance on ageing Cold War-era equipment.

While the thick metal plates provided some protection, they also severely limited visibility for the crew, leaving them vulnerable to Ukrainian strikes.

One particularly humiliating moment came in August when Ukraine’s 92nd Assault Brigade annihilated several of these “turtle tanks” in Kharkiv Oblast, setting them ablaze in a series of pinpoint strikes.

Footage showed Russian soldiers scrambling from the burning wrecks as Ukrainian drones picked them off one by one.

The slapdash armour upgrades reflect Moscow’s growing desperation as its once-vaunted tank fleet has been decimated.

Before the grim two-year anniversary of the war, Russian commanders were reportedly forced to dig into vast Cold War stockpiles to keep their forces in the fight.

The dire state of Russia’s arsenal was laid bare last May when Putin was forced to cancel or drastically scale back the annual Victory Day parades — typically a grand showcase of Russian military might—due to a lack of heavy-duty military equipment.

Charlotte and Jake are already parents to daughter Alba, two.

Charlotte’s father, Gary, revealed the exciting news in the caption of his latest Instagram post today which was liked by Charlotte.

Gary wrote: “What a fun-filled weekend done in that there London. A new addition to our little family and some very exciting years ahead. Feeling very blessed and happy.”

His post was ‘liked’ by his daughter Charlotte, and quickly sparked a wave of messages congratulating the family.

One fan shared: “Huge congratulations to you all as family. Hope mam and baby are doing well.”

Another said: “Congratulations! wonderful news!!! Love your posts.”

Tough time

The couple were left terrified just weeks ago after her £1million home was burgled – while they were upstairs.

Jake, 33, revealed on social media that a gang of masked robbers armed with machetes stormed inside their stunning mansion.

The Sun later told how the pair have taken extra measures to make sure that they are free from danger.

Just weeks after that ordeal, the TV personality was rushed to hospital shortly afterwards where it was revealed she had a urine infection.

Scared Jake shared at the time:  “We are not having a good week!!!

“Now Charlotte has been rushed in to hospital as she is having serious pains in her stomach, they are running all the necessary checks to make sure Charlotte and baby are ok.”

And in a further blow, on Boxing Day Charlotte’s beloved grandma – her dad’s mum – passed away.

Sharing a picture of them together with her daughter Alba, Charlotte shared: “We lost an amazing woman last night, kind, wonderful and the most loving family member.

“Always incredibly proud of me and my achievements! And always the very first to boast about me. I will never forget how much she supported me so dearly! We will miss you so much, She loved little Alba so much!”

Family of four

Charlotte and Jake announced they were expecting their second child in September 2024.

The star had made no secret of her wish to have another child and had told fans on a number of occasions that she was ‘trying’.

The couple got engaged in November 2023, a year after welcoming their daughter.

Jake got down on one knee during a lavish trip to Dubai.

Sharing the news, Charlotte said: “Happiest woman in the world.”

RYANAIR has confirmed that all flights to a European city are being cancelled.

The low-cost airline is scrapping flights to and from Aalborg, after Denmark announced new aviation taxes.

The airline is also closing it’s base at Billund Airport[/caption]

The new tax has introduced a 50DKK (£5.57) fee for all passengers departing Denmark, which is paid for by airlines.

The cancellation will see the London Stansted to Aalborg route scrapped from next month.

This is a blow to Brits who can currently fly to the Danish city for just £14.99 with Ryanair.

When the route stops, there will be no other direct flights from the UK.

Ryanair has since said they will also be closing its base at Billund airport, which has two aircraft.

The cancellations will see 32 routes cancelled, with 1.7million fewer seats.

A Ryanair spokesperson said: “We are very disappointed to announce the closure of our 2 aircraft Billund base and our operations at Aalborg from the end of March, but we have been left with no other choice following the Danish Govt’s short-sighted decision to introduce a harmful aviation tax from Jan 2025.”

The Danish city of Aalborg – the fourth largest in Denmark – has previously been named the happiest city in the world, as well as the best for quality of life.

Brits who want to travel there after March will need to change at Amsterdam or Copenhagen, with the cheapest flight £81 each way.

It’s not the only flight route that has been cancelled by Ryanair.

The Irish airline confirmed that their Bournemouth to Agadir route has been scrapped.

Having only launched the flight to the Moroccan city back in April 2024, it was the 19th new destination to fly from the regional airport.

Ryanair has slammed the new Air Passenger Duty fees that will be introduced from April 2026, which will see a 15 per cent rise on most flights.

In better news, Ryanair has confirmed five new routes are launching from London Stansted.

The new routes include flights to Reggio Calabria in Italy, which have launched today along with Linz in Austria.

Flights to Clermont-Ferrand in France and Munster in Germany will launch on March 30.

And from April 1, flights to Lubeck, another German city, will operate from London Stansted.

Here are some other new flight routes launching this year.
