Thames Valley Police’s rural crime taskforce stopped a Vauxhall car near Oxford for driving badly while out patrolling in the early hours of Saturday, April 25.

Checks showed the male driver was uninsured and driving under a provision licence. He was reported for the offences.

The passenger, who was the keeper of the vehicle, had let his friend drive so he come have some beers, according to the police. He too only had a provisional licence.

The pair were arrested and taken to custody after further checks showed they were immigration overstayers.

Organised by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH), the event took place at Churchill Hospital and saw nine endocrine procedures completed in under eight hours.

The surgeries, carried out by a specialist team, included two thyroid day‑case procedures – the first in a decade.

Shad Khan, consultant surgeon and clinical lead for endocrine surgery at OUH, said: “We delivered more than double the number of surgeries that would normally take place in the same timeframe.

“The success of the day demonstrated what can be achieved through strong teamwork and our shared commitment to delivering the highest quality care for our patients.

“It is a testament to the dedication and outstanding efforts of our teams, as well as the meticulous planning that went into the layout and logistics of the day.”

The ‘Super Surgery Day’ model aims to make use of weekend theatre capacity, reduce waiting times, and offer patients quicker treatment.

OUH described the latest event as running smoothly throughout.

The multidisciplinary team included surgeons, anaesthetists, anaesthetic nurses, a scrub team, and a consultant, supported by health support workers and administrative staff.

All patients received telephone consultations with their surgeon and anaesthetist during the week prior to surgery.

Lisa Glynn, director of clinical services at OUH, said: “We are committed to providing high‑quality care and reducing waiting times at OUH.

“The success of this ‘Super Surgery Day’ and the roll out of thyroid day case pathway, represents an impressive and important achievement.”

Waterloo Road and Emmerdale star Adam Thomas was voted the winner and “ultimate legend” of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here – South Africa during the live final on Friday night, following a public vote.

The final began with the remaining celebrities facing insects, reptiles, and other creepy crawlies in a series of pre-recorded trials, each fighting to earn stars for their final jungle banquet.

Craig Charles was awarded fourth place, Harry Redknapp third, while Mo Farah finished runner-up, hailing the experience as “amazing” and “entertaining”.

But it was Thomas who was crowned the winner by reality TV star and 2023 I’m a Celebrity winner Sam Thompson.

The 37-year-old actor said being on the show had been a “blast”.

I’m a Celebrity – South Africa final descends into chaos

The crowning of Thomas as the “ultimate legend” came following a chaotic live final, which saw two celebrities walk out and others being labelled “abusive, aggressive and intimidating”.

The episode became chaotic after David Haye joined in the conversation to accuse the show of editing footage to make Thomas look like a “victim”.

Thomas has hit headlines since appearing on the all-star show for his feud with former professional boxer Haye.

The Waterloo Road star has said Haye “broke” him and pushed him to his limits, while his row with Jimmy Bullard almost compromised his time on the show.

Bullard discussed their explosive row during the final, claiming Thomas dropped “c-bombs” which were not aired, and asked hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for their opinion as they had “front row seats”.

That was the craziest 5 minutes of #ImACeleb in 25 years. I absolutely love the drama of live TV but David and Jimmy are EMBARRASSING themselves. To have Ant & Dec, the unbiased hosts, telling you you’re chatting shit? Pathetic. David is just a massive high school bully pic.twitter.com/85yFfBCS52

Ant disagreed that the exchange was aggressive and said: “No it wasn’t, I was there.”

Thomas responded by saying he took “full responsibility” for his actions and he has “nothing but love for Jimmy”.

But Haye interrupted the exchange and said: “You’ve got a funny way of showing it.”

The interaction spiralled into chaos after the boxer was then asked about some of his controversial comments on the show.

Haye said: “I like to say it like I see it,” and accused the show of editing footage in favour of Thomas.

He added: “We all had banter back and forth, and a lot of it was cut out from their side.”

Haye and Bullard then asked their fellow contestants to agree that Thomas had been “abusive, intimidating, and aggressive” in his row with Bullard.

Sinitta and Gemma Collins defended the actor but eventually walked off set, with the former TOWIE (The Only Way Is Essex) star commenting that Haye was “disgusting”.

Earlier in the episode, Haye had questioned whether Thomas deserved to win after his interaction with Bullard, despite Collins hailing him as her “hero”.

McPartlin joked that the “scariest thing” the celebrities have faced this series was “David Haye’s views about women”, referencing the boxer’s remarks on “ugly birds” while discussing his girlfriend Sian Osborne, which left viewers in uproar.

Ant and Dec also offered “support and love” to soap star Beverley Callard, who was unable to attend the live event.

It comes after viewers saw her forced to leave camp earlier this week due to undisclosed health issues, which were later revealed to be the start of her breast cancer diagnosis.
