London, Nov 19 : In case the modern-day dentistry makes you wince, spare a thought for the toothache sufferers of the 18th century.

According to a rare book about the dental techniques of the period, even those treated by the most eminent practitioners were in for an agonising time.

Written in 1770 by Thomas Berdmore, who was considered to be the outstanding dentist in England, ''A Treatise on the Disorders and Deformities of the Teeth and Gums and the Most Rational Methods of Treating Them'' provides an insight into tortures endured by our forbears.

Berdmore, who was a dentist to King George III, has written about a 23-year-old woman left in a ''terrible state'' by a ''barber dentist''.

London, Nov 19 : British television presenter Dani Behr could end up leaving the jungle show ‘I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here!’ halfway if her pregnancy is confirmed.

Behr, 34, who had been vomiting for the past 48 hours and had also been complaining of feeling dizzy and faint, confided in her jungle pals she thinks she is pregnant.

The show’s producers, who do not want her to put a baby at risk if she is pregnant, have sent a pregnancy test into the camp to see if Dani, who is married with two children, is expecting.

“I feel bad. I hope it isn’t morning sickness,” the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

BBC Trust head had been criticised during a grilling by MPs for not firing Ross after he made lewd phone calls to Fawlty Towers legend Andrew Sachs, 78.

London, November 19 : An Arab sheikh, who had sued Michael Jackson for breaching a record deal, has claimed that he paid a Brit motivational expert 175,000 pounds to help the singer regain his confidence.

London, Nov 19 : Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has hinted that their band might split by the end of next year.

“I’m 31 now and I don’t think that bands should keep going past 33,” Daily Express quoted him, as saying.

“So we’re trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we’ll just go for it in every sense.
