Sandy Meyer-Wölden, 40, podcast presenter, had to stop going to the toilet because of Lady Diana. In the new episode of “The Pochers! Freshly Recycled”, the ex-wife of comedian Oliver Pocher, 45, reviewed a brief royal encounter in a rather unroyal place. As a teenager, she attended the Grand Slam tournament in Wimbledon with her father, tennis manager Axel Meyer-Wölden, who died in 1997. She was in the toilet with her mother, “and security came in and just asked everyone to get out of the toilet… – they threw us out of there.” When they asked why, the answer was: because Lady Diana had to use the bathroom. She was still able to catch a glimpse of the then Princess of Wales, “great woman”. Shortly afterwards she was even allowed to shake his hand in the royal box.

Poonam Pandey, 32, Indian model, faked her own death. “This morning is hard for us. It is with great sadness that we have to announce that we have lost our beloved Poonam to cervical cancer,” it said on Friday on her Instagram account with more than 1.3 million followers to read. At the request of several Indian media outlets, her manager confirmed the news of her death and called for precautions to be taken seriously. A day later, Pandey got in touch back with a video. Accompanied by turgid music, she said she hadn’t died. “Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the thousands of women who have lost their lives to cervical cancer.” She apologized to her fans in several other posts. However, she is proud of what the news of her alleged death has achieved: Now everyone is talking about cervical cancer and prevention.
