Shocking news from Alton Towers, reported in that bastion of great journalism, the Daily Star.
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say our thoughts are with Abbey Clancy at this difficult time.

Daily Star said:ABBEY Clancy was left dangling 30ft in the air on a fairground ride as her footballer fella cringed with embarrassment.
The babe screamed: “Petey! Petey! Help me!” as the crocked Sonic Spinball at Alton Towers shuddered to a halt.
She was on the ride alone as 6ft 7ins Stoke striker husband Peter Crouch, 31, was too tall to fit in.
The model, 26, was worried she was going to vomit as the machinery failed leaving her swaying in the wind on Sunday.
A source said: “Peter’s used to a lot of ribbing at theme parks because his height means he often can’t go on rides as his legs don’t fit in.
“Abbey was really keen to try out the Sonic Spinball so she left Peter holding their daughter Sophia while she went for a spin. But halfway through there was a mechanical fault and she ended up stuck.
“Everyone could hear her screaming: ‘Petey! Petey!’ He looked more embarrassed than worried.”
A spokesman for Alton Towers, Staffs, said: “We did have a minor technical glitch. Guests were evacuated as quickly as possible.”
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say our thoughts are with Abbey Clancy at this difficult time.
