A teen's birthday cake topper went up in flames mid-way through her family singing happy birthday. Chloe Martin, 25, watched as a waitress brought out the birthday cake on sister Kacey Cole's 18th birthday on Tuesday (18). But guests were shocked when they began to notice a pampas grass cake topper catching alight mid-song. Birthday girl Kacey, from Plymouth, Devon, was in shock when she realised. She could then be seen beginning to chuckle at the chaos as the waitress whisked away the burning cake topper.

OPINION - Keir Starmer crossed a big line when he called Rishi Sunak a liar — he shouldn't have done it
Now, the issue here isn’t the truthfulness or accuracy of Rishi Sunak’s claims about Labour’s tax plans: I quite accept that those claims are, to put it mildly, debatable. There were a hundred circumlocutions you could use: if Sir Keir had spluttered, “that’s not true!” it would have meant exactly the same thing, but would have been entirely unproblematic. Once, scrupulous people would use the word “untruth” in denying the veracity of a statement and this too would lack the terrible force of the word “lie”, which implies a deliberate intention to deceive.

Jay Slater: Spanish authorities remain silent on missing teen while online conspiracies reach fever pitch
What was a sprawling operation last week now feels more focused, with a cluster of officers from the Civil Guard telling me they were looking at a particular ravine with a nearby water source. Gesturing to the other side of the uneven terrain, one explained how they needed special equipment to access an area that is difficult to traverse on foot. The changeable conditions we've seen in the Rural de Teno national park over the past week have included not just the high temperatures you'd expect in Tenerife, but also cloud cover, high winds and rain.
