A woman has opened up about her decision to charge friends and family a staggering £150 a head for Christmas dinner. Carla Bellucci recently moved from her Hertfordshire home after receiving hate for her past financial moves, including splashing out £10,000 on her daughter's 18th birthday bash and admitting to getting a free nose job on the NHS during an appearance on This Morning in 2019. Speaking about her decision and being called a Scrooge by trolls, Carla simply responded: "Get stuffed, with all the trimmings." She explained how she's expecting nine people at her Christmas dinner this year, and that it's not cheap to put on a full spread. "It’s not cheap feeding people and it also takes a lot of time to put together a nice meal," she said. I’ll give them a glass of Champagne, but if they want any more booze, they can bring their own. Carla continued: "Everything I do is for profit and my family understands that. If you want quality, you have to pay for it." The former OnlyFans model, who made £40,000 and quit because she found the site "tacky," went on to say that while a carvery would be a cheaper option, her "dinner is going to be a lot more classy than that." "It wouldn’t be any cheaper if you went to a restaurant or hotel for a Christmas Day meal, so why should I be out of pocket? "I’ll have the telly on in the background so they can listen to the King at 3pm and watch whatever they like," she continued.

Carlos Sainz has lost his personal trainer to Max Verstappen after eight years of working together. The Ferrari driver has worked with Rupert Manwaring since making his F1 debut in 2015, when he drove for Toro Rosso alongside Verstappen. While Verstappen was quickly promoted to Red Bull and has won three world titles, Sainz joined Renault, McLaren and now Ferrari but maintained his partnership with Manwaring. However, Verstappen has poached Manwaring after his own personal trainer Bradley Scanes opted for pastures new, with the intention of spending more time at home. Verstappen’s father, Jos, worked with Manwaring’s father during his own F1 career. Manwaring works for the Hintsa Performance company, launched by Dr Aki Hintsa – who worked with Lewis Hamilton and Mika Hakkinen before he passed away in 2016. Sainz, meanwhile, was a frustrated figure by the end of the season-finale in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. The Spaniard endured a fortnight to forget, demoted 10 places in Las Vegas after his car was damaged due to a loose manhole cover, before qualifying only 16th on the grid for the final race of the season. "Today, the last two weekends, this last weekend in general, haven’t gone like I expected or like we wanted to finish the year," he said. "Honestly, [I’m] very disappointed and obviously not happy. "Given how close it was in the end with the constructors’ championship, we will have to sit down and analyse what we could have done better today and what was going on. “Clearly the pace this weekend and the overall feeling with the car and everything, the end wasn’t good." The 2024 F1 season starts on March 2 with a Saturday night opening race – the Bahrain Grand Prix.
