Woman in her 70s randomly attacked by knifeman outside primary school – as suspect still on loose 2 DAYS later
COPS are urgently hunting for a suspect after a woman in her 70s was randomly attacked by a knifeman.
Officers raced to the scene in Middleton, Manchester, after reports of an assault at 11.20am on Thursday morning.
The woman did not receive serious injuries from the incident, but has been left quite shaken following the attack, said cops.
The search for the attacker remains ongoing today and witnesses are being urged to come forward.
The force has also released CCTV footage showing a man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing armed police in attendance at the scene, with a police helicopter above the area on Thursday.
Several parents also stated that the nearby Alkrington Primary School went into lockdown following the incident.
A force spokesperson said: “Since the report came in, we’ve been carrying out extensive enquiries in the area, speaking with residents and several witnesses.
“Officers continue to trawl through hundreds of hours of CCTV and extra resources have been dedicated to this to ensure we can build a detailed timeline of events which led to this incident, and the suspects movements thereafter.
“We continue to work closely with the victim to support her at what is a distressing time.
“Police have now released a video of a man they would like to speak to as they believe he may be able to assist with enquiries. If you recognise anything about this man, please get in touch with us.”
Detective Inspector Kimberley Hines, from GMP’s Rochdale district, added: “We do believe this to be an unprovoked attack which has left a woman incredibly shaken.
“We know that hearing about this incident will be concerning for our communities, but I want to assure you that extensive work is underway to locate the suspect, and we have additional patrols in the area to speak to residents and offer support.
“We have a team of detectives and police officers working around the clock to identify who is responsible for this attack, and we are appealing to the public who may be able to assist us.
“We have released footage of a man we would like to speak to, as we believe he could have information which is relevant to our investigation.
“Whilst you cannot see his face in the video, we ask if anyone recognises the clothing or perhaps his build, and can help us identify him – please come forward.”
Inside Saturday Kitchen’s Matt Tebbutt’s off-camera life with rarely-seen wife as he’s set to replace Gregg Wallace
SATURDAY Kitchen favourite Matt Tebbutt is set for a career-changing new role as the new star of MasterChef – putting the chef’s hat on his glistening life in the spotlight.
The Sun exclusively revealed this week that the TV cook is being lined-up to replace Gregg Wallace as the new face of the long-running BBC primetime show alongside John Torode.
Matt, 51, trained at Leiths School of Food and Wine, set up by Bake Off judge Prue Leith, and has worked in a string of top restaurants, including Marco Pierre White at the Oak Room and Criterio.
Raised in Wales from the age of six months, Tebbutt still lives in Llantilio, Monmouthshire with his wife, Lisa, and two children, Henry and Jessie.
He previously told Wales Online the area was a “beautiful place to live”, with his home naturally boasting a suitably huge kitchen for cooking and entertaining.
Complete with a range cooker, wooden panelled cupboards and drawers, the kitchen looks out to a sprawling garden filled with potted plants, flowers and shrubbery.
With a pantry filled to the brim, the kitchen boasts two ovens, a giant fridge freezer, and an island for him to get to work on.
His wife Lisa has shared a picture enjoying the garden in the summer, sitting out on a patio with a glass of wine as she looks out to the greenery around her.
Their home also has a large garden table and benches which is perfect for alfresco dining during the summer months. An extension with full-length windows allow them to look out into the greenery which staying warm during the winter.
The house also has another entertainment area known as “The Big Shed”, which in fact is a fully-functioning bar and kitchen, with a central island for guests to surround when they come over.
Matt uses a Wolf Dual Fuel Sub-Zero fridge-freezer, and also has Outdoor appliances which are perfect for barbecues in his home.
Photos from evenings and parties see Matt holding court.
Fairy lights adorn the windows to give the area a more homely glow during the evenings when they have people join them.
Tebbutt has long had a love of cooking and entertaining, even owning restaurants before focusing on his career.
He still curates menus for restaurants around the country, including Shpoons & Forx at the Hilton in Bournemouth. but is now mostly known for his TV appearances, with a blunt but friendly and talkative nature.
He was first seen on TV in Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped in 2012, and later took on the role of Saturday Kitchen host after filling in for former guest James Martin.
A TV insider said: “Matt rose to the challenge of coming into Saturday Kitchen after it was previously hosted by another big name in the world of food, James Martin.
“He managed the feat of making it his own and almost making viewers forget who his predecessor was — now Beeb bosses, and the show producers Banijay, will be hoping he can work the same magic on MasterChef.
“Nothing is set in stone, of course, and the result of investigations into Gregg’s behaviour have yet to fully conclude.
“But since MasterChef is such a huge show with a massive following, the Beeb are keen to have everything lined up ready.”

I tried the ‘Tinder for fitness’ – I met my perfect match and learnt to do a chin-up in just 8 weeks
I’VE put on one of my most expensive outfits to meet Monty for the first time.
I’m head to toe in brands, and my shoes alone cost more than £100.
When I arrive at our agreed spot, our eyes nervously meet across the bar.
He’s a little shorter than I expected, but he immediately makes me laugh, and I think we’re going to get on just fine.
It sounds like I’m on a Hinge date, and that’s how it feels when we shyly make conversation for the first few minutes, but I’m actually testing out a new matchmaking app for fitness.
My branded outfit is in fact Adidas lycra, my spenny shoes are really my fanciest Nike trainers, and the bar we meet over is the one Monty is going to have me do chin-ups on for the next eight sessions in the gym.
Instead of helping you find love, SweatSearch pairs you with personal trainers in your area.
You can choose whether you have a preferred gender, and what kind of session you’re after – from cardio to strength, and yoga to boxing.
You then set your maximum price, when you want to meet and where, and the app does the rest.
I was looking for strength sessions to help me reach my goal of doing a chin-up in the London Bridge area.
SweatSearch connected me with Monty Simmons, a trainer with more than 12 years of experience, and I accepted.
Thankfully, we got on great – I’d say we were a perfect match – and we had eight sessions together over a two-month period.
But if we hadn’t, I could have easily put in another request to find someone who suited me a little better.
Here’s how Monty (@movewithmonty) got me from barely being able to hang from a bar to doing an unassisted chin-up.
THE BASICS
The first session was more of an introduction so Monty could assess how strong I was (hint: not very).
After a recurrent knee injury, my gym sessions had definitely taken a backseat and to be honest, I’ve always found the free weights area of a gym slightly terrifying.
However, it gave my PT a baseline and helped us put together a plan for the coming weeks.
THE EXERCISES
Because I was focused on being able to do a chin-up (for no good reason honestly, I just think it looks super cool), the exercises were to help me achieve that.
This meant a lot of overhead presses, push ups, chest presses, and bicep curls.
We also did a fair bit of abdominal work, as well as moves to strengthen the muscles around my dodgy knee – think single leg glute bridges and donkey kicks.
But dotted throughout all of this were chin-ups, chin-ups and more chin-ups.
I started standing on a big box, then a step with plates on top, then just the step, and finally a plate or two.
At 5ft 6in, the bar was too high for me to reach from the ground, but my arms were straight towards the end, I promise!
I also practised using a band (looped around the frame horizontally) in my own time so I could get more reps in.
It was hard work! But Monty kept me motivated and gave me a structured plan that I could follow on the days I wasn’t with him (about two extra sessions a week on my own).
THE LOGISTICS
We organised each of our sessions through the chat function on the SweatSearch app, which is free on iOS and Android.
These all took place at the same gym as it was most convenient for me, but I had the option to try out several others if I wanted.
Because I wasn’t locked into a strict gym schedule or contract, we could change the day and time to suit us both each week.
I could also cancel 24 hours in advance if something came up without being penalised.
THE RESULTS
After weeks of hard graft, I did it! I can now do a full, unassisted chin-up.
In fact, I managed five in my final session (with gaps, I’m not Lara Croft – yet).
There’s not much data on chin-ups specifically, but a survey by RunRepeat found that only 31 per cent of women could perform a full pull-up, whereas 80 per cent of men can do it.
That’s my next goal.
As well as the chin-ups, my muscle mass increased by 1.2kg and my fat mass dropped by 1.2kg, according to Boditrax assessments.
I also lowered my visceral fat levels and metabolic age. Another win!
The philosophy behind SweatSearch
WHETHER you want a ride to the airport or pizza at 3am, there’s a matchmaking app for just about everything these days.
But even with fitness apps like ClassPass and Hussle, Marcel and Alexander Huisman thought there was room for one more.
“At its core, SweatSearch was born out of a frustration with how disconnected the personal training industry is,” co-founder Marcel says.
“Alex and I both saw a gap – finding the right PT should be as seamless as booking a taxi or a hotel, yet the process remained outdated, expensive, and often inaccessible.”
The idea is built around three principles:
- By bringing PTs onto one platform, competition naturally drives prices down, making personal training affordable for far more people.
- Clients can instantly see which PTs are available, at what times, and in which locations, removing the hassle of endless back-and-forth messages.
- No hidden fees, no surprises – just clear, upfront pricing that allows clients to find a trainer that suits both their budget and their goals.
SweatSearch pairs you with personal trainers in your area.
You choose what kind of session you’re after, where you want it, and how much you want to spend.
“For trainers, many rely on word-of-mouth or limited gym networks to find clients, while clients often struggle to find a PT that truly fits their needs – whether that’s based on price, location, or training style,” Marcel says.
“SweatSearch bridges that gap, giving PTs a direct way to grow their business while giving clients full control over their training experience.
“It shares similarities with platforms like Uber, Tinder, and other matching apps in that it’s built on the same core principle – connecting two parties seamlessly and efficiently, removing friction from the process.
“It’s like Uber because we bring together independent personal trainers into a single marketplace, increasing availability and driving competitive pricing.
“Just as Uber made booking a ride effortless, SweatSearch makes finding a PT instant and hassle-free.
“We believe in the power of choice, so clients can browse PT profiles, check their experience, pricing, and reviews, and then book the trainer who best fits their needs, just like you do on Tinder.
“It’s about making an informed decision rather than being assigned someone at random.
“But that’s where the similarities end. SweatSearch isn’t just a transactional app – it’s built to create long-term fitness relationships.
“While Uber and Tinder often focus on quick, one-time matches, SweatSearch is about helping people find the right PT to support their fitness journey over time.”
There are currently around 350 trainers and 1,000 users on the app, mostly based in London.
But more and more are joining in Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool. Marcel and Alexander hope to expand nationwide later this year, and across Europe by 2030.
Desperate Meghan NEEDS Sussex name – she’s only famous because of Royals
MEGHAN Markle raised a few eyebrows when she announced that her surname was now Sussex in her new Netflix series.
The mum-of-two, who stars in eight 33 minute episodes of her lifestyle and cooking show ‘With Love, Meghan,’ could be heard correcting Mindy Kaling when she used her maiden name.
The Duchess of Sussex said: “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.”
And according to The Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards, there is a reason Meghan is so keen to use the name.
He joined News.com.au royal editor Bronte Coy and host Matt Wilkinson to discuss the Duchess of Sussex’s rebrand on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show this week.
Speaking on the show, Edwards explains: “Without Sussex, without marrying Harry she’d probably still be in Suits or shows like that.
“She’s elevated to a very famous person now. She married into the royal family as Diana did, as Fergie did. She’s famous because of that.
“If she walked round London when she was in Suits no one would have recognised her. “
He adds: “If she wants to call herself Sussex, that is her married name, call her that but everyone will know her as Meghan Markle.”
Prior to the show coming out Meghan also opened up about her last name in her most candid interview yet with People magazine.
She claimed that the title and last name is now important to her despite rejecting being part of the working royal family and relocating with Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet to Montecito in LA.
She said: “It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognised how meaningful that would be to me until we had children.
“I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me.”
The Sussex name, she adds, “is part of our love story”.
The name was given to the pair after their wedding in 2018 by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
But Royal expert Phil Dampier says he thinks Meghan’s comments are unlikely to be well received by the King.
Speaking to The Sun earlier this week, royal author Phil Dampier said: “I doubt King Charles would like Meghan making references to the importance of Sussex as her name but I’ve always felt he’s reluctant to start any process of stripping her and Harry of their titles.”
It comes after royal pros had suggested that a lot of people dislike the mum-of-two and as a result, are ‘hate watching’ her new lifestyle series.
With Love, Meghan is the second Netflix collaboration for the Sussexes, who signed a lucrative multi-million pound deal with the streaming giant back in 2020.
Meanwhile, the duchess, 43, recently renamed her lifestyle brand As Ever, switching from the name American Riviera Orchard after facing trademark issues.
Speaking on The Royal Show Bronte added: “There’s a lot riding on this series, I think a lot of people will have watched it, whether they hate Meghan or they love her – the hate watching part of it as well – there’s clearly interest, even though a lot of people have no admiration for her.
What do we know about Meghan Markle's new cooking show, With Love, Meghan?
MEGHAN Markle's new Netflix documentary trailer shows her cooking with Hollywood pals.
The Duchess of Sussex gave fans an insight into her show, With Love, Meghan, which airs soon.
There will be eight 33 minute episodes featuring a host of Meg’s various Hollywood friends trying her simple, yet “elevated”, food.
A montage of various clips in the nearly two-minute video showed Meghan walking through vegetable patches and fields.
She was also filmed browsing florists, hand-selecting beautiful flowers for table arrangements, showing off her creative side.
The Duchess even tried her hand at beekeeping, fully suited up, as she collected honey.
In the exciting new trailer, Meghan shared: “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.
“Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.
“I’m going to share some little tips and tricks. I see what colour I gravitate to, and everything goes from there. And how you incorporate these practices every day.
“This is about connecting with friends… I love that we’re doing this together for the first time. Making new friends… and just learning.
“We’re not in the pursuit of perfection. We’re in the pursuit of joy. I have to get it totally wrong, to get it totally right.”
The trailer showcased many “candid” moments, from Meghan accidentally squeezing some lemon juice in her eye, to knocking freshly baked goodies off a plate.
Prince Harry featured at the end of the video, embracing his wife in a warm hug.
“But at the same time, that won’t carry through for a season two. The hate watching element would be season one.”
She added: “Harry and Meghan need to keep these deals going, they have a very expensive lifestyle, particularly with security and everything.
“I think it is in danger of being axed or significantly reduced.”
Not only this, but Arthur explained: “Eventually [Harry and Meghan] are going to run out of ideas and people are not going to be interested. People will lose interest.
“She seems to be attracting publicity. She gave it her best shot but it just wasn’t good enough.”

Real Housewives star Ester Dee marries fiancé in luxury Maldives ceremony – as family and friends aren’t invited
REAL Housewives star Ester Dee has married her fiancé in a luxury Maldives ceremony.
Deciding to break tradition and tie the knot without her friends and family in attendance, Ester Dee, 40, has revealed that she is now married to Glynn Keeling.
Heading to the Maldives for a lavish destination wedding, the couple jetted off on their own to say “I Do” with none of their loved ones in tow.
Ester, who is known for starring on Real Housewives of Cheshire, previously said that her family and friends were not invited to the ceremony.
During the week, Ester shared that she and Glynn were jetting out of the country for their wedding, sans their loved ones.
Sharing some snaps from their flight, Ester revealed on social media: “Here we go. We are ready for the ride for the rest of our life.”
She added: “We have decided not to invite any magazine deals, family or friends.
“We are planning to do a big party later on to celebrate our commitment for each other.
“Invitations soon. Watch out.”
She went on: “This time it’s just the 2 of us standing facing each other.
“Sand, sea and flowers.
“We did not want to get stressed about anything else, rather than small details which matter to us.”
Expressing her heartfelt gratitude for the support she has been showered with amid her nuptials, Ester went on: “You all have been behind me all the way.
“Thank you again for your love, support, understanding and kindness.”
And then just mere hours before tying the knot she admitted she felt “excited and nervous”.
