The elaborate tattoo emblazoned across Tom 'Billy' O' Connor's muscular shoulder bears the legend: 'Hung Like A Stallion'. But while O'Connor, a 34-year-old former porn star from Colchester, might have a manhood worth bragging about now, that wasn't always the case. Instead he is one of an increasing number of British men opting to go under the knife to enhance their manhood - an operation now so popular, demand has jumped 40 per cent in just one year, according to a leading surgeon. 'But believe me, large numbers of men reading this will not be laughing – even visiting the gym can cause heartache [for them].'

It has been less than a week since Kim Kardashian and Kanye West said 'I do,' but on Friday the pair were once again swept up in another European love story. The newlyweds broke away from their honeymoon on to celebrate a friend's impending nuptials in Prague, Czech Republic. The brand new Mr. and Mrs. West are in town for Kanye's stylist, Renelou Padora's wedding. However, Kim almost stole the bride-to-be's thunder with both ladies donning metallic gowns for the evening. The 33-year-old reality star wore a dark silver shiny mini dress, which featured a cowl neck and gathered on one side. The dress also had an impressive split that allowed Kim to flash her shapely thighs.

Their wedding was full of maxims, from most expensive (the nuptials cost north of $12m) to most over the top (a gold toilet and marble statues reportedly dominated the scenery of the reception). On Friday   The Hollywood Reporter   added another: that Instagram photo of Kim Kardashian kissing Kanye West in front of a wall of white flowers is the most 'liked' ever. The snap 'received more than 1.9m likes since it was posted May 27, passing the 1.8m likes that Justin Bieber's photo with Selena Gomez has garnered in the past five months,' the site claimed. That PDA post was not the only shot Kim shared from her big day attended by 600 guests. The beauty - who was spotted in Prague on Thursday with her new husband - also added a shot of the couple holding hands as they walked down the aisle. That image received more than 1.5m likes.   Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, is also where several members of the 33-year-old reality star's wedding guests w...

The main quality about this hoodie that's nicer is that it's softer, so he's really excited about that,' she said, in an exclusive interview with   Today's Savannah Guthrie.   'I’m pro-hoodie. He wears a fresh hoodie every day so that pretty much meets my lowest barrier for him...I'm happy with whatever he wants to wear, as long as it's appropriate for where we're going.'

Twenty-four-year-old Sherifat Bakare, is a young lady one could describe at first glance as pretty. But as she sat on the ground in front of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Ogun State Police Command in Abeokuta, one cannot but imagine how deadly she might have been on operations with her robbery gang. “I was hustling before Raji, my boyfriend, told me to join his gang,” Bakare began.

This is the first picture of the mother-of-two who has been sentenced to death in Sudan for being a Christian - from inside the prison where she is being held. In an exclusive photo, Meriam Ibrahim puts on a brave face as she holds her newborn baby girl Maya who was born in the jail where she has been locked up for eight months. But behind the smile there is a different story - Meriam's eyes have dark rings under them, her arms are alarmingly thin and her face looks gaunt. Gone is the radiant glow from the day she married husband Daniel Wani, a U.S. citizen, and in its place is a woman struggling with the awful fate awaiting her. MailOnline can also disclose one of the major anxieties playing on Meriam's mind: despite only just having given birth she will be given the 100 lashes that are part of her sentence in two weeks' time unless her appeal is a success. The Sudanese authorities are intent on pressing ahead with the barbaric punishment despite mount...

  When life seemed hopeless, this woman in China scrambled to the very top of a billboard to end it all by jumping. Fortunately for her, a quick-witted policeman saw a way to save her life. Rather than let the woman throw her life away, the cop whipped out his handcuffs, put one on himself and the other on her. Unable to jump, a rope was employed by the police to pull the woman to safety. Hopefully, she will get help to overcome whatever drove her to desperation.

Amid all the pain and gloom of war, an act of kindness stands out like a bright beacon of humanity and hope. That’s why the story of Baby Noor and U.S. Colonel Kevin Brown is worth reading and taking to heart. The two first met when Col. Brown was leading an operation in the town of Abu Ghraib. The Iraqi baby girl had spina bifida, which was sure to kill her if she couldn’t get medical treatment – which was impossible for her family. Col. Brown became a man with a mission. He couldn’t just leave that sweet infant girl to die. He pulled all the strings he could and argued passionately that America should help. Soon, thanks to him, Baby Noor, her father, and her grandmother flew to Atlanta, Georgia on a C-130 transport plane for life-saving surgery. Baby Noor before treatment in 2005 Baby Noor all grown-up, She has a wonderful time with her family

The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State deepened on Thursday as a former governor of the state and national leader of the party, Chief Olusegun Osoba, foreclosed reconciliation with the governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun. He said this during a consultative meeting with his loyalists at his Ibara home in Abeokuta. The APC in Ogun has been bedevilled with internal crisis which led to the emergence of parallel executive councils. One of the groups is loyal to Amosun while the other pitches its tent with Osoba. Osoba, explained that neither the intervention by traditional rulers nor the national leadership who might suggest harmonisation of the executive in any format would make him change his stance. He added he would not accept apology from them or the governor. Ex Ogun State Governor, Segun Osoba

A gang of men - including at least one police officer - allegedly raped and killed two teenage sisters in rural India then hung their bodies from a tree, authorities said today. Villagers found the girls, aged 14 and 15, hanging in a mango tree hours after they disappeared near their home in Katra village in Uttar Pradesh state. They had gone into fields because there was no toilet in their home. Hundreds of angry villagers crowded around the tree for the rest of the day, silently protesting alleged police inaction in the case. India tightened its anti-rape laws last year, making gang rape punishable by the death penalty, even in cases where the victim survives. The new laws came after the fatal gang rape in 2012 of a 23-year-old woman on a moving bus in New Delhi that triggered nationwide protests.

A pair of amorous feral peacocks are making neighbours’ lives a misery - by screeching throughout the night. The loved-up pair of birds mysteriously arrived in Whalley   Range   a few weeks ago and have been keeping people up during the night ever since. Desperate residents even called in the police to try and track down the owners. But neighbours living on streets off Alexandra Road say it is a mystery where the birds came from - but are desperate for them to be re-homed so they can get some sleep. While the peahen is content to sit on garden fences, the peacock struts around back gardens, displaying his feathers and emitting piercing shrieks from 3am onwards. Residents say the pea hen first arrived around a month ago with the peacock flying in about two weeks later - and the birds are now inseparable.
