A WOMAN has lived off Angel Delight and soup for a year as she cannot find an NHS dentist to replace her dentures.

Jane Keenan, 63, is suing the Health Secretary for £3,000 over “systematic negligence on a massive scale”.

The ex-market trader said: “I am too embarrassed to even go out without any teeth and there is no point anyway because no one can understand me when I talk. I am really depressed.

“I’ve practically lived off Angel Delight and soup for a year. I usually go for the strawberry flavour and tomato soup. It gets boring.”

Jane, from Bournemouth, lost her dentures last year but her NHS dentist said she had been removed from their books because it was so long since her last appointment.

She said: “I’ve rung dentists for miles around but they’re not taking on NHS patients.

“NHS dentures would cost about £100. I can’t afford them privately.”

Blood tests showed low levels of iron and other nutrients as she struggles to eat solids.

She has now paid £160 to take legal action through the small claims court and sent a summons to Wes Streeting.

Jane said: “I kept seeing Mr Streeting on TV talking about the dentist crisis.

“I decided enough is enough.”

The Department of Health and Social Care has promised a “rescue plan” to provide 700,000 extra urgent appointments and make the NHS more appealing to dentists to boost recruitment.

A PLAYER on The 1% Club failed to make show history after getting the £100k question wrong – but could you have done it?

Saturday night’s show saw the jackpot reach £100,000, which host Lee Mack revealed was very rare.

After the 5% question, only one player – a man called Steve – was left standing, and Lee told him he would become the “first person ever to win the full £100k” if he took the gamble and got it right.

Steve admitted the £10,000 he had secured for making it to the final question as a lot of money, but he was willing to gamble to try and land the jackpot.

His decision took Lee by surprise, but he then revealed the 1% question which was: “What two letters replace the question marks?”

Underneath the rest of the puzzling question read: “TE times T equals MESSAGE. TO times IN equals POISON. E times ?? equals LEAVE.”

After his 30 seconds were up, Steve revealed he had locked in his answer as “NE.”

There was a dramatic pause, then Lee revealed he had got it wrong, with the correct answer being “IT” and the explanation: “If you replace ‘times’ with ‘X’, you form words with the same meaning as the words on the right.”

Viewers of The 1% Club were disappointed for Steve, with one writing on X: “Wow… I am gutted for Steve today. We could’ve had our first £100,000 winner… ah well.”

Another added: “I went out on 70% but got the 1% right. Bad luck, Steve, fair play for having a go.”

A third commented: “Well Steve did super well to get to the 1% question. Whereas I got as far as 30% playing from home.”

Last week, two players made it to the final question and had the chance to win £94,000.

However they both opted to take their half of the £10,000, rather than risk not winning anything if they didn’t get the last question right.

For one player, it was the right decision as she ended up getting the 1% question wrong.

But for the other woman, it was her worst nightmare as it turned out she would have been right and would have taken the whole jackpot for herself.

The 1% Club airs on Saturdays on ITV and is available on ITVX.

RUSSELL MARTIN is emerging as a shock contender to lead Leicester back to the Premier League.

Martin, 39, was axed by relegation rivals Southampton but his work in the Championship at Saints caught the Foxes’ eye.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is clinging to his job after a disastrous run since succeeding Steve Cooper in November and a decision is set for the end of the season.

Leicester face Newcastle at home tomorrow having won just once in the Prem in 2025.

The Dutchman, 48, is liked by Leicester’s hierarchy but some within the club are already looking at a change.

Sean Dyche is a promotion specialist from his Burnley days and carries an obvious appeal. But Martin has significant support at the King Power.

Foxes   were promoted playing a passing game under Enzo Maresca last season and they will look for a similar style and approach.

Martin had his critics during his time at MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton because he refuses to change his ways.

But that may be the attraction to Leicester, who have players who would excel down a level if they played a passing game.

Martin has had other interest and is also being mentioned within the City Group as a coach for one of their clubs around the globe because of the way he plays.

Commenting on his future at Leicester, Van Nistelrooy said: “It needs to be sorted yesterday. I think it’s very important to be aligned on that with the club.

“We have to find out over the coming weeks because, of course, coming in December and how the winter window went, taking it into the new season and the challenges we face, it’s very important for me to be aligned and what the possibilities are there.

“That alignment has to take place.”

PEP GUARDIOLA confirmed it was his decision to call time on Kevin De Bruyne’s Manchester City career.

The Belgian announced on Friday he would leave the Etihad this summer after ten glittering years.

KDB, 33, was open-minded about extending his City stay — and may even have accepted a bit-part playing role as his family are settled in the area.

Yet Guardiola had been concerned over his dip in form following injuries.

Ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday, boss Pep said: “Myself  and  the  club  had  to take a decision. It is not easy as he has been extraordinary.

“Me, Txiki Begiristain and the club made the decision — and it is what it is.”

De Bruyne will be 34 this summer but is now clear of injury issues that dogged him in the last few seasons.

Even so, offering anywhere close to the £375,000-a-week wages the attacking midfielder currently earns would have represented a big gamble by City.

Guardiola added: “The club has to move forward, move on. To replicate his numbers is so difficult. To say bye to these players is so difficult

“You can only be grateful. The club gave everything to him — and he gave everything to us.

“I’m incredibly grateful and sad that it will be over in two months.

“He’s the only player who has finished his contract. The rest are under contract but still there are many things the club and myself haven’t decided on.”

There will be question marks over several  stars as Guardiola plans a summer shake-up. 

John Stones, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji have all had injury-hit campaigns while skipper Kyle Walker left on loan in January.

Bernardo Silva and keeper Ederson’s form has also dipped — meaning City are now scrambling to claim a Champions League place.

They spent over £170million in January but are set to splash out more this summer.

And finding a replacement for De Bruyne is a priority, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, 21, their top target.

SIR KEIR Starmer will tomorrow launch a dash for growth as he scrambles to shore up Britain’s economy in the wake of Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The PM will issue a rallying cry for investors to “back British brilliance” and press fast forward on plans for an industrial strategy and to axe red tape.

But in a sign UK plc is already getting battered, Jaguar Land Rover is halting shipments of British-made cars to the US over the levies.

And Friday was the FTSE 100 index’s worst day of trading since the pandemic.

Tomorrow, Sir Keir will deliver a tub-thumping speech to drum up backing for UK business.

A No 10 source said: “Britain is a nation to be proud of. We stand tall in the face of uncertainty, and this ­Government’s choice in this volatile world is to back British brilliance.

“That’s why, this week, the PM will go further and faster to back British business and boost Britain’s industrial power so we’re less exposed to these kind of shocks.”

The source added: “We’ve ripped up planning rules to get Britain building. We’re reforming the state to make it work for working people.

“We’ve invested record amounts in our public services. But the world is changing before our eyes. We are in a new era. And that requires even greater action.”

The PM is expected to give the go-ahead to a British Universal Studios theme park in Milton Keynes, Bucks, in an infrastructure boost.

The Treasury will also unveil plans to make British holidays cheaper for punters.

It will slash red tape so hotels and campsites can join forces with pubs, restaurants and sports facilities for their own DIY package holidays.

The PM will also water down rules on the transition to electric vehicles, and push ahead with cuts to quangos.

Sir Keir continued his international diplomatic trade blitz, speaking to French president Emmanuel Macron about the crisis from his Chequers country retreat yesterday.

The pair said “nothing should be off the table”.

No 10 does not want to slap reciprocal tariffs on the US — fearing a tit-for-tat trade war will plunge our ailing economy into a deeper crisis.

Global markets have nose-dived and trillions have been wiped from the value of businesses after the tariffs were announced.

British manufacturers fear China will now flood the UK market with cheap cars and bicycles in a move that could threaten industrial jobs.

European brewers have also warned the levies could lead to 100,000 job losses.

Meanwhile, thousands of protesters gathered across America yesterday to demonstrate against the tariffs.

Hang tough, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic. We will make America great again.

Donald Trump

But President Trump held firm with his economic plan yesterday. He posted online: “This is an economic revolution, and we will win.

“Hang tough, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic. We will make America great again.”

But Americans may not agree if they miss out on new Jaguar Land Rover vehicles as the iconic brand pauses shipments to the US.

JLR sells 400,000 Range Rover Sports, Defenders and other models annually.

Exports to the US account for almost a quarter of those sales, with 38,000 cars shipped there in the third quarter of 2024.

The vehicles are popular with stars such as Ben Affleck, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez.

JLR said: “We are taking some short-term actions including a shipment pause in April.”

Q) I’VE suffered from a toenail infection in both big toes for a number of years and nothing seems to cure it.

My GP said to paint my toenails if it bothers me. I know it needs treating and I was hoping you could suggest a treatment?

A) Fungal toenail infections are extremely common and often the advice is to leave them alone if they are not progressing or affecting the person’s quality of life.

So for some people simply painting over them, if that does the job, would be appropriate.

However, I appreciate that this isn’t satisfactory to you and if that’s the case there are two other options to treat them.

The treatment available on the NHS is a prolonged course of oral antifungal medication.

Your GP will need to check your liver is healthy before starting this treatment as antifungals can sometimes negatively impact liver function.

Be aware you usually have to take the tablets for many months and like all medications, they have side effects, which can include headaches, feeling sick and diarrhoea.

The other option which you would have to pay privately for is laser treatment to the nails.

For very early stage fungal toenail infection, you can buy a topical nail lacquer from the pharmacy.

If it has developed fully, the nail will look discoloured, white or yellow, and it will become thicker.

If it has advanced to the point that it is painful, when the nail crumbles away leaving it too short, I can see why you would like to get this sorted.

EASTER is almost upon us and can be an unhealthy time of year if you struggle to say no to sugar and fat-laden chocolate.

But you can still get a gift – and hit – by choosing healthier versions such as antioxidant-rich dark chocolate, vegan alternatives or those with added ingredients such as nuts or quinoa.

Today, I’ve looked at the Easter gifts that give a hit while looking after your health…

PROTEIN

MYPROTEIN has the perfect gift for gym bunnies – a limited-edition Easter Box, which comes with nine products including crunchy crispy wafers, Myprotein x Hotel Chocolat bars, their limited-edition Easter Egg Layered Bar (tastes amazing), drinks, brownies and, my favourite, a 50ml bottle of White Chocolate FlavDrops.

These aren’t packed with protein, but I put them in plain, low-fat Greek yoghurt or kefir to give flavour with zero calories and zero sugar. On offer at £24.99.

COLLAGEN

A DRINK that gives you protein, chocolate and collagen in one go – Vital Proteins has just launched its Collagen Peptides Cocoa to support skin, hair, nails, muscles, bones and a youthful appearance.

It has 20g of collagen, which is about the same as you’d get in a protein bar, per serving.

Easily digested and soluble, you can bung it in porridge or have it as a hot or cold drink.

This contains hydrolyzed bovine (derived from cows) collagen, which is a type that absorbs better into the body and is a close match to human collagen.

There’s also fat-reduced cocoa powder, sea salt and steviol sweetener. It smells amazing, but has a bitter aftertaste so not great for someone with a sweet tooth.

£32.99 for a 297g tub. Vitalproteins.co.uk

MUSHROOMS

RADEK’S Chocolate Organic Vegan Lion’s Mane Mushroom Chocolate Bar is made with ethically sourced cocoa beans, coconut sugar and butter, lucuma powder (a tropical fruit full of antioxidants), vanilla and lion’s mane.

Radek’s combined forces with Bristol Fungarium to produce this bar – the team at the latter grow the only native Lion’s Mane in England. It was cloned from a specimen they found close to their mushroom farm.

This functional mushroom can boost mental performance, memory, mood and focus.

Each 72g bar contains 2,000mg of 1:4 lion’s mane extract powder. It’s not cheap at £6.50 but it is smooth, tasty and so rich you really do only need a couple of squares. radekschocolate.co.uk

A PROMOTER of Islamic terrorism is being allowed to stay in Britain despite posting execution videos on Facebook.

An immigration judge ruled the ­Syrian man, 43, does not pose a public threat and granted his appeal against a Home Office bid to scrap his refugee status.

The unnamed married dad of three won it after seeking asylum in 2014.

But he was jailed for two years for circulating a terrorist publication.

Tribunal judges deemed his crimes serious enough to axe refugee status but decided not to, claiming he was not a threat to the public.

The Home Secretary lost an appeal after senior Judge Gemma Loughran backed the lower court.

Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke said: “If the judge doesn’t think this man’s a threat maybe it’s the judge that’s the threat.

“How bad do these cases have to get before judges begin protecting the public? This madness has to stop.”

The Home Office is still contesting the case.

The Home Office said last night: “We have been clear that we do not agree with this judgment and are doing everything in our power to continue contesting this case.

“We strongly believe this individual, with a criminal conviction for circulating terrorist content, should not retain their refugee status in the UK.

“National security and the safety of the British public is the first duty of government, and we remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring foreign criminals are not free on Britain’s streets.

“This includes removal from the UK wherever possible, at the earliest possible opportunity.”
