Abu Abduallah al-Britani, who fled the UK for Syria earlier this year, made the horrific claim while ­admitting he was ready to die fighting for  the Islamic State.

Has Mrs West been hitting it too hard with the heels?  Instagram / Splash Kim bares all in no make-up selfie Kim Kardashian has gone back to basics as she ditched her make-up and nursed her poorly, over worked feet.  The reality queen  wiped away the slap and kicked off her stilettos for a weekend of quality time with the family. Wearing casual faded jeans which accentuated her famous kurves, the star looked remarkably less glamorous than usual in a pair of flat trainers which revealed bandages all over her tender tootsies. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians megastar has obviously been spending too much time in six-inch heels. Kimmy had earlier visited San Diego Zoo with daughter North West, momager Kris Jenner, and her big sis Kourtney.

But that didn't stop us from doing a double-take when we saw Lindsay Lohan suffer an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction. The flame-haired star  was visiting possibly her favourite place in the entire world - London hotspot Chiltern Firehouse - when her delicate chest almost burst out from under her shirt. However, Li-Lo didn't seem bothered at all and carried on as if nothing had happened.
