The Baywatch star sparked a blushing debate over the weekend when she tweeted that ‘vegans make better lovers’ as the cholesterol in meat, eggs and dairy causes the hardening of arteries ‘and not much else’. Of course, the tweet caught Piers’ eye and he couldn’t wait to pick Pamela’s brain about it on Good Morning Britain on Monday. ‘There’s a lot of research that went into this,’ Pamela insisted to the presenter before adding teasingly: ‘More fun things happen even when you’re sleeping. You’re the perfect candidate for veganism.’ Pi

Read MoreSAUL LOEB/GettyAfter 2020 finally ended, 2021 started out with an insurrection incited by the President of the United States and with 4,112 COVID-19 deaths in a single day. Despite hope that the new year would be a better one, it feels like nothing has changed. George Floyd’s murder in May 2020 was followed by an intense wave of protests and countless statements rightfully identifying racism as the cause of police brutality. White people joined book clubs and communities to learn about racism and privilege. White-dominated organizations hired consultants to implement diversity, equity and inclusion training and committees. Yet, this didn’t prevent Black, Latinx and Native American persons from disproportionately dying from COVID-19. It did not stop 125 Black men from being shot and killed...

England suffered a minor collapse as they slipped to 14-3 at the end of day four in Galle, with Dom Sibley, Zak Crawley and Root falling, but a resurgent Jonny Bairstow and debutant Dan Lawrence took the tourists over the line on the final morning with a 62-run stand.

Legendary Megalodon’s blade-like fangs, dubbed the ‘ultimate cutting tools’, developed in proportion to its 60ft long and 100 ton body. Their evolution has been debated for decades – and was previously believed to be an adaptation to new feeding habits. But although they were more than twice the size of a great white’s, they were not as strong. A Bristol University team has used computer models to show for the first time how they functioned. Antonio Ballell, PhD student in the School of Earth Sciences, said: ‘We applied engineering techniques to d
