I’m sharing pics of my daughter, 7, who lost her eye after vape EXPLODED – split-second decision changed everything
A MUM has shared photos of her young daughter who lost an eye after a vape exploded.
Ruby Grainger, seven, had gone to buy an ice cream and while walking home past a bonfire a battery exploded, shooting acid into her face and right eye.
The youngster was rushed to Tallaght Hospital, Dublin, by ambulance before being transferred to the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital on October 5.
Her family was told that doctors had removed her eye during an emergency operation.
Ruby’s mum Ciara, 32, told the Mirror: “She was walking across to the van and when she was coming back bang, something exploded in her face.
“All I hear is screaming, she was hysterical, when she got to the house I could have collapsed.
“The blood was rushing all down her face, I put her to my chest and rang the ambulance, I was frantic.”
Ciara added: “Doctors said that this is the first case of this kind of damage from a fire, they have seen explosions but to lose her whole eye, the socket, everything.
”I do not think it has properly hit me that the child has no eye now.
”For a split second her whole life changed, and mine too, when she lost her eye I lost mine.
“If I could give her mine I would. I would give everything for her, she is only seven, and this never should have happened to her. I cannot believe it.”
The mum-of-four said medics believe the damage was caused by battery acid as ”the eyeball was like mashed potato”.
Ruby did not feel anything hit her eye and reports say the type of damage done would not be caused by a physical object.
Following the accident, a member of the family checked where the fire was and found remnants of several burnt-out vapes.
Ciara has now set up a fundraiser for Ruby, who needs to have a prosthetic eye fitted.
The mum wrote on the GoFundMe page: “Ruby now has to get a prosthetic eye which is going to be hard to get used to for a 7 year old.
Smoking vs. vaping
VAPING has been touted as an effective tool to help people quit smoking.
Though vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, the habit isn’t completely harmless and comes with its own set of risks.
The NHS only recommends it for adult smokers, to support quitting smoking.
GP and author Dr Philippa Kaye explained to The Sun that the differences between vaping and smoking – and whether one is better than the other – is “complicated”.
“In a nutshell, vaping is better than smoking, but breathing air is better than vaping at all.”
Vaping exposes users to far fewer toxins – and at lower levels – than smoking cigarettes.
Switching to vaping significantly reduces your exposure to toxins that can cause cancer, lung disease, and diseases of the heart and circulation like heart attack and stroke.
These diseases are not caused by nicotine, which is relatively harmless to health. But research has still linked vaping to a higher risk of failure and lung disease.
Health risks of cigarettes
- Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer
- Smokers are at greater risk for diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels
- Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs
- Smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body
- It affects overall health too, such as your mouth, eyes, immune system and fertility
Health risks of vaping
- They can cause side effects such as throat and mouth irritation, headache, cough and feeling sick
- They could lead to tooth decay
- They could damage heart health
- They could cause lung disease
- They could slow brain development

“Ruby is going to have to experience very big changes in life for a child her age.
“Some of which are, Ruby will have to change schools because of losing her right eye she will have to go to a vision impaired school, Ruby will also never be able to go to play like she used to, Ruby also has to learn to balance again due to having a blind side, and the biggest one is Ruby is no longer able to see out of her right eye.”
Doctors are hopeful her eye socket will have healed enough in six weeks so she can undergo the operation.
New England Patriots release top star hours after another NFL loss – but still has $4.3 million career earnings in bank
THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS are releasing veteran offensive lineman Nick Leverett.
According to ESPN, Leverett, 27, is being let go just two days after the Patriots’ latest NFL loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday at the Gillette Stadium.
The American, though, leaves New England with a staggering $4.3million (£3.3m) in career earnings.
The popular franchise is going through a transitional period after legendary head coach Bill Belichick rolled credits on his stunning 23-year reign in 2023.
New coach Jerod Mayo, who took over in January, just handed new quarterback Drake Maye his first ever NFL start with the team against the Texans.
Maye, 22, was the Patriots’ first-round draft pick of the year and much is expected from him as he has large boots to fill following Tom Brady‘s stunning 19-year stint with the franchise.
But Mayo seems to be dealing with several matters regarding his roster.
The American coach attended the The Greg Hill Show, as per his contractual requirements, and was asked about the squad.
The 38-year-old remained coy but didn’t reject claims suggesting the team was in “bad shape”.
The host asked: “Why was the roster in such bad shape entering this offseason?”
Mayo responded: “You tell me.”
And the host replied: “He almost said what he…”
But the Patriots coach cut him off by saying: “No. I’m not doing that one. I’m not doing that one.”
Watch as man, 57, has giant lump on his forehead ‘squeezed out’ in life-changing op
WATCH as a man has a giant lump in his forehead “squeezed out” in a life-changing operation.
Clyde, 57, had an enormous bump growing out of the middle of his forehead for 30 years, after he was hit by a cricket ball at close range.
The lump appeared a couple years after Clyde was thwacked in the forehead and showed no signs of budging.
The 57-year-old even tried to have the lump removed in Turkey – only to be told it was impossible.
“It’s quite an unusual thing. I know it’s not going to go away,” Clyde said.
“Sometimes I’ve laid in bed and just thought ‘why have I got this?’”
Over the years, Clyde became more and more self conscious of the lump protruding from the top of his forehead.
“Plus my dog, she wakes me up in the morning and is licking the lump on my head.
“I say Cheers Bonnie, you’re reminding me the lump’s there,” he quipped.
Clyde finally decided to visit consultant dermatologist Dr Emma Craythorne, in hope that he could finally have the 30-year-old bump removed.
The life-changing op that saw the lump being squeezed out of an incision in Clyde’s forehead was documented in the brand-new seventh series of The Bad Skin Clinic.
The second episode will air on Really at 9pm tonight.
Clyde was joined by his wife Caroline for his appointment with Dr Craythorne.
He explained that he was hit in the head at short range by a cricket ball, but that the lump actually didn’t appear until two years later.
Clyde already made a visit to Turkey to try and have the lump removed, but doctors weren’t able to help him.
“I’m in this hospital and they tried to remove it, but unfortunately they couldn’t do it. I came home with a scar and a lump,” he told Dr Craythorne.
“I’ve never known Clyde without it,” Caroline chimed in.
“He had it when we met, but I have noticed over the last few years Clyde’s got more conscious about it.”
After inspecting the bump, Dr Craythorne was immediately able to identify it as a lipoma.
She explained to Clyde:”‘Lipo’ means fat and ‘oma’ is a benign tumour.
“The only way to get rid of this is to have it surgically removed.”
The dermatologist explained that she’d have to work around in the incisions previously made by doctors in Turkey.
“What’s interesting about Clyde’s lipoma is that he’s previously had an attempted excision on this.
“That sometimes can mean that these lipomas are a little bit more complicated.”
“Usually I would have done the incision [horizontally], but because you’ve already got a [vertical] incision, I think it makes sense just to carry that on up and over.
“I’ll then pop it out, then it will be a nice flat area,” she added.
‘SPEECHLESS’
After the consultation, it was time for Clyde to head into theatre with Dr Craythorne for the surgery.
The dermatologist started by making initial incisions in to Clyde’s scalp, slicing through the fascial layer of skin tissue to get the lipoma – a pulpy orange mass.
“So what we’ve now got to try and do is get this lipoma out of this little hole that we’ve made,” Dr Craythorne explained.
“You just have to ease it out,” she added, before gently applying pressure to both sides.
“Let’s see if we can squeeze it out.”
After pressing on either side of the lump, Dr Craythorne managed to pull it out of the wound.
Though she removed the bulk of the lipoma from Clyde’s forehead, the derm wasn’t completely convinced that it was all out.
It’s going to totally change the way I feel about myself
Clyde
She told her assistant: “There’s something here, can you see this move?
“I think it’s just scar tissue where they went in before at the front.
“But because it’s moving a bit I’m just trying to wiggle my way around here to see if there’s anything at all that they maybe disrupted.”
“There is definitely something there… I think it’s a little bit of lipoma!”
With further searching and prodding with her surgical tools, Dr Craythorne pulled out another, smaller piece of lipoma that was trapped behind scar tissue that had been created by Clyde’s previous surgery in Turkey.
“Yabba dabba doo!” Clyde exclaimed as Dr Craythorne announced that all the lipoma was now out.
What is a lipoma?
Lipomas are soft, fatty lumps that grow under your skin.
They actually tend to be quite common.
They’re harmless and don’t usually need any treatment, but it’s important to get any lumps checked by a GP.
They:
- Feel soft and squishy
- Can be anything from the size of a pea to a few centimetres across
- May move slightly under your skin if you press them
- Are not usually painful
- Grow slowly
- Can appear anywhere on your body
You can get a lipoma removed on the NHS if it’s growing or causing symptoms because of where it is.
A lump is something to worry about if it’s:
- Painful, red or hot to touch
- Hard and does not move
- Increasing in size
In rare cases, lumps under your skin can be a sign of something more serious.

She stitched Clyde’s forehead wound back up and showed him his brand-new, lump-less forehead in the mirror.
“Oh my god! I’m speechless. It’s round!” a delighted Clyde said, examining the new shape of his head.
“Caroline isn’t going to recognise me. It’s going to totally change the way I feel about myself,” a visibly emotional Clyde went on.
He was grinning from ear to ear as his wife walked in, saying: “Ta daa!”
Caroline exclaimed: “Oh my god, you look so different! Your face, you look so happy.”
“I do, I feel a million dollars,” Clyde responded.
“So what shall we do tonight then, take a few selfies?” he joked, as the couple left the clinic.
“Look in the mirror?” Caroline laughed.
In a previous episode of The Bad Skin Clinic, a nurse had a giant skin growth protruding from her neck removed.
Episode two of the seventh series of The Bad Skin Clinic airs on Really on Tuesday October 15 at 9pm and will be available to stream on discovery+.
NBA fans worried for Klay Thompson after four-time champion and Golden State veteran puts up horrendous stat line
KLAY Thompson had one of his worst nights on a basketball court which left fans fearing for his career.
The 34-year-old modern-day icon didn’t score a single point in Monday’s preseason NBA clash.
Thompson is a four-time champion and has been one of the most prolific shooters of his generation.
He has formed one half of the feared “Splash Brothers” with Stephen Curry that led the Golden State Warriors to four titles.
But Thompson was traded to the Dallas Mavericks this summer as his career winds down.
And he was 0-9 shooting including 0-6 from three-point range in the 21 minutes he played Monday.
The Mavericks were beaten 110-96 by the Los Angeles Clippers.
And fans called for the 34-year-old to walk away from the game
“If Klay Thompson continues to play like this during the season, its better for him to retire bfr he ruined his legacy,” one said.
Another commented, “I think it’s safe to say Klay Thompson is officially washed.
“He needs to retire before he blemishes his career more.”
While a third wished, “Really hope he finds a rhythm and confidence.”
The Mavericks have high expectations after adding Thompson to their roster.
The team hope Thompson’s championship experience can help their team led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
Last year they were beaten by the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals.
Dallas begins their season against Texas rivals the San Antonio Spurs on October 23.
Thompson spent 13 years with the Golden State Warriors after entering the league in 2011.
Inside the NBA's future?
Inside the NBA's run on TNT Sports is in major doubt due to the NBA's broadcasting deals.
The Emmy-winning sports show is a fan favorite thanks to the likes of Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley.
But TNT’s broadcast deal with the NBA is up after next season and NBC looks set to take those rights in a $2.6bn deal.
If TNT loses its NBA package, it raises serious questions over the popular Inside the NBA.
One solution could be to recreate the show on another network, which snaps up the NBA rights.
He won four NBA titles and was a five-time NBA All-Star.
Thompson also won gold with the USA national team at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The shooting guard and small forward was involved in a historic trade this summer.
His move to the Dallas Mavericks involved six teams.
That July 6 transaction was the first time a six-team trade has ever taken place in the NBA.
Everyone can see the blue shell but you need 20/20 vision to spot the sneaky fish in under 7 seconds
ONLY those with a high IQ and perfect vision will be able to solve this fiendish brainteaser in a matter of seconds.
In this sea-themed image, many eyes are looking at you, waiting for you to solve the puzzle.
All you have to do is find the fish among the purple octopuses which are all stretched out on the sea bed.
Some are climbing rocks while others have their tentacles in a box of treasure.
But amid these distractions is a tiny fish trying to stay hidden.
It is not only the sea creatures that are working to distract your eyes from their mission.
The bright pops of colour from the seaweed, blue shells, jewels and fashionable accessories worn by some of the octopuses also draw your eyes away from their focus.
If you can spot the tiny fish in under seven seconds, you should give yourself a pat on the back and celebrate your high-quality vision.
However, if you are struggling, here is a tip that could help.
Rather than overwhelm your brain by taking in the image as a whole, it can often help if you divide it into more manageable parts.
This way, you can give more focus to specific areas and are therefore more likely to spot the finer details that may lead you to the answer.
Solving such brainteasers is an effective way of training your brain and improving creative thinking.
This puzzle is particularly tricky as the creators made the fish the same colour as the octopuses.
It even has the same shape and eye colour making it blend in seamlessly.
Perhaps you should concentrate your focus on the top right-hand quarter of the image.
Try to keep an eye out for things that do not quite fit.
How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?
Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
Some benefits include:
- Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
- Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
- Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
- Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
- Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
- Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
Have you found the sneaky fish? If not, scroll down to reveal the solution image to find out where it is hiding.
Meanwhile, have a go at some more fun-filled puzzles to put your vision and patience to the test.
In this mind-boggling illusion, everyone can see the mountain but how long does it take you to spot the eagle?
Pet lovers will enjoy this brainteaser as they are tasked with finding a kitten his lost feather in just 12 seconds.
Or, how about this one where you have to find the sleepy cat who decided to rest near a gnarly tree?
Stern-faced Yung Filly reports to police station in Australia as Brit YouTuber remains on bail over hotel ‘rape’
RAPPER and YouTube star Yung Filly has been seen at a police station in Australia where he faces charges of rape.
The 29-year-old has been banned from leaving the country as cops investigate allegations he assaulted a woman at his hotel last month.
Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was charged with four counts of sexual penetration without consent.
He is also facing three counts of assault and one count of impeding a person’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to their neck.
Following a court hearing Filly was granted bail after stumping up $100,000AUD (£51,000).
But he is banned from leaving the state and must report to Perth Police Station regularly.
Today the stern-faced rapper was spotted entering the station.
He was snapped dodging reporters questions there just days ago.
The internet star jogged into the building with his hood pulled up over his head and a baseball cap on.
Filly remained inside for just five minutes before leaving and once again refusing to speak to the journalists waiting outside.
He is being made to stay in Australia until December when his second hearing gets underway.
He was rapidly dropped by several brands and companies including FootAsylum, the Football Association (FA), Heinz and ASOS, after news of his arrest broke.
Images of him on German Doner Kebab’s Instagram have also been wiped just weeks after he launched a ‘Special Sauce’ with them alongside fellow YouTuber Harry Pinero.
Cops investigating him say they have an “extremely strong” case that includes CCTV footage of the social media star on the night of the alleged offences.
His defence lawyer argued the victim was drunk at the time of the alleged ordeal, according to Channel 9.
Cops allege that Filly – who was born in Colombia but moved to the UK as a refugee when he was a child – raped her in his hotel.
The rapper was first arrested last Tuesday in Brisbane and transferred to Perth the next day.
He appeared in court where the prosecution said his alleged victim’s body is marked “by a history of violent acts”.
Who is Yung Filly?
YUNG Filly’s rise to fame saw him start out as a social media star.
The influencer got his big break on YouTube before moving into mainstream TV.
Although he goes by Yung Filly, his real name is Andres Felipé Barrientos.
He was born on August 6, 1995, and moved to the UK from Colombia when he was two years old.
Filly then relocated to southeast London during his childhood.
When asked what it was like growing up in the capital, he told Indy100: “I come from the bottom of the barrel…and that’s why I’m so grateful for the position I’m in now.
“My mum definitely shaped me with the lessons she taught me.
“She’s a single mum with three kids, my dad was a s*** dad so she just had to make it happen.
“She did loads of cleaning jobs. My mum worked at Poundland at the time I had some mad BBC series…just getting my mum out of the position she was in was just the biggest motivation.”
Filly is best known for being a member of the comedy group known as The Wall of Comedy.
He is affiliated with fellow YouTuber Chunkz and the pair have collaborated on many videos and tracks.
Over the years, Filly has also taken part in The Sidemen‘s Charity Football Match, organised by members Josh Bradley, Simon Minter, Tobi Brown, KSI, Ethan Payne, Vikram Barn and Harry Lewis.
