The partner of pregnant Hollyoaks actress Frankie Jules-Hough, who was killed in a horror motorway car crash, has welcomed plans to review the prison sentence of the driver who killed her. Adil Iqbal, 22, was speeding in his father's BMW on the M66 in Bury, Greater Manchester, when his car hit Frankie's on 13 May. He was jailed for 12 years on 19 July, having pleaded guilty to killing Frankie, 38, and causing serious injury to her son Thomas, 9.
Frankie – who played Jess in Hollyoaks between 2000 and 2001 – also had her other son Rocky, two, in the car, plus her nephew Tobias, four, who was also badly hurt. Thomas and Tobias were left in a coma suffering serious brain injuries, with both spending weeks in intensive care – their long-term outcomes remain uncertain. Now her partner, Calvin Buckley, has said he's happy that the Attorney General's Office is to review the prison sentence, on the basis it is unduly lenient.The appeal could mean the sentence is then increased.
Mr Buckley said to the BBC: "I am happy that the appeal has been accepted.This is good news and hopefully the first step towards some form of justice for Frankie and Neeve." He had previously said the killer's sentence was "lenient", "disappointing" and "insulting" to the family.The court heard how Frankie had stopped on the motorway hard shoulder with a tyre puncture, when her car was hit.Tom Spencer, Thomas’s father, had told the court in a harrowing statement how he took the call from Frankie, saying she'd be late. In a statement, he said: “’Hi, Tom’, I heard Frankie say before she let out the most blood-curdling scream. Next the impact and then silence.

Liam and Noel Gallagher have been publicly feuding for more than a decade.
In principle, using the rainy-day, kitchen-sink post-rock of Manchester band The Smiths so prominently in a film like The Killer seems incredibly perverse, given that it’s an exotic, globe-trotting thriller about an American assassin. But in reality, it’s actually very sound choice indeed: legend has it that the band’s singer, Morrissey, had two reasons for naming his band so, the first being that “Smith” is one of the most common and thus unremarkable surnames in the world. The second, and much more subversive theory, suggests that it’s also a reference to David and Maureen Smith, brother-in-law and sister of ’60s serial killer Myra Hindley, the snappily dressed couple whose testimony blew open the Moors Murderers case and whose beatnik likenesses adorn the cover of Sonic Youth’s 1990 album “Goo”.
