THIS is the heartstopping moment a six-year-old drowns in a pool as his cousin watches on helplessly – before a bystander bravely intervenes.

Shocking footage showed the boy desperately trying to stay afloat for nearly two minutes – before a quick-thinking stranger leapt into the water to help him.

The harrowing video begins with the two cousins standing on the side of a Fort Lauderdale pool in Florida.

The six-year-old boy named Oscar then decides to jump recklessly onto a blue inflatable sunbed.

He suddenly loses his balance, and then falls into the water.

Seemingly unable to swim, he starts wailing his arms around desperately, failing to tread water.

Standing on the side of the pool, his cousin realises he can’t do anything as he does not know how to swim either.

Desperate to help his drowning relative, the adult cousin tries dipping his feat in the water, in an attempt to get himself into the water too.

But he hesitates a few times when he realises he would also end up drowning.

He even tries to push out the sunbed for the child to grab on to.

But still struggling, the child takes no notice if the inflatable and continues to flail around in the water.

The youngster even appears to remain under the surface of the water for an extended amount of time.

He is trapped without air for over a minute and a half before someone comes to his rescue.

Luckily construction worker Roque Ivan Ocampo who was at the same building heard the screams and was alerted to the commotion.

He rushed into the pool area through a gate, before jumping in without any hesitation.

The heroic worker dragged the child to the side of the pool, before starting CPR.

Police are then seen arriving at the poolside, also helping the boy who luckily survived the frightening ordeal.

Ocampo told NBC News: “He doesn’t move at all, that’s why I thought maybe, ‘He’s dead,’ because he wasn’t moving.”

He also said in the moment there was “no time to think, just to act”.

The boy was rushed to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

Police officer Jamie Bodine said: “It takes a lot of bravery to do what he did, and I think Oscar’s outcome would’ve been a lot worse if [he] hadn’t jumped in the pool, pulled him out, and done CPR right away.

“I don’t think we thanked him enough that day.”

But the internet was somewhat confused by the footage – especially the bizarre fact his cousin stood by for so long without doing anything.

One user said: “Where were the parents? Why were [they] left alone near the pool without supervision?

“Something is wrong with this scenario.”

Another said: “What a hero. That’s a real lifeguard! For that ‘cousin,’ why do you have a pool when you can’t swim?

“Why are you even standing there?”

KAMARU USMAN was moved to tears after winning his do-or-die octagon return.

The former welterweight and pound-for-pound king returned to the cage for the first time in 20 months early this morning in the main event of UFC Atlanta against Jaoquin Buckley.

There were serious concerns that Usman’s time at the top was a thing of the past following three straight losses to Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev.

But the 38-year-old rolled back the years with a suffocating display across five rounds to earn a unanimous decision victory courtesy of 49–46, 49–46, 48–47 scorecards.

An emotional Usman teared up in his post-fight interview as he said: “It’s been a while. I needed to get that monkey off my back.

“I know I’m still able to do this at the highest level.

“Sometimes when you’re going up against a young, hungry guy like that, very talented, very aggressive, you’ve got to pull out the skills and use your experience.

“And that’s what I did tonight.”

Usman insists victory over the surging Buckley has shown his detractors he’s still very much at the top of his game.

He said: “I know it’s a running joke, everybody wants to get on the internet and talk s***, ‘Oh, his knees, his knees.’

“Well, shut the f*** up, I can still do what I do.

“I could do that to anybody [in the welterweight division], any one of them.

“But like I said, I needed to get that monkey off my back.

“Early on in my career as I was rolling, once I had that monkey off my back and I knew I was rolling, I was able to open up.

“And you guys saw those spectacular knockouts. I still got them in there.”

Following his dominant return to the win column, Usman has set his sights on becoming a two-time king of the welterweights.

He roared: “I have been, and always will be, the f**king boogeyman.”

WREXHAM are tracking Sheffield Wednesday cult hero Barry Bannan.

The midfielder has been a keen cog in the Owls machine since he signed in 2015.

But the 35-year-old is one of many who could leave if Wednesday fail to pay his late wages.

Wrexham – co-owned by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – are monitoring developments and can afford to pay a top salary.

The Red Dragons are also interested in former Scotland midfielder Stuart Armstrong, 33, who is a free agent after a short spell at Wednesday.

Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward could also make a move to the Racecourse following his release by Leicester.

The 44-cap star, 31, was a schoolkid at Wrexham until joining Liverpool in 2012.

Wednesday owner Dejphon Chanisiri wants his manager Danny Rohl to return to work now.

The pair have been clashing for months and supremo Chansiri has ordered Rohl to cut short his summer break.

Rohl has been openly chasing jobs and his staff are mainly out of contract soon.

If he refuses the request he could be fined by the cash-hit club.

The German, 36, has been linked with the vacant manager’s job at Middlesbrough.

Conners is believed to have sustained the injury during the third round.

The issue is said to have occurred as Conners attempted to play a bunker shot on the 11th hole.

Following the incident, Conners tried to play through the pain.

He received treatment on the course and managed to get through to the end of yesterday’s play.

The world No21 had his wrist taped and considered coming out to continue today.

But following a brief warm-up, Conners decided to pull out.

He had been due to start at 10:20am EST alongside Ryan Fox.

Prior to withdrawing, Conners had been 38th in the standings.

MILLWALL defender Japhet Tanganga has his sights on a move to Europe in a cheap deal.

The Lions could lose their former Tottenham player as a rush of clubs take an interest.

Japhet Tanganga has impressed for Millwall[/caption]

Tanganga has a fixed fee at a bargain price of around £1.2million — making him an attractive option.

As many as FIVE Premier League sides including Crystal Palace are believed to be interested in the Hackney-born 26-year-old.

But the domestic pack have been told Tanganga’s preference is a switch to Germany or France.

Tanganga, 26, joined Millwall 12 months ago after being released by Spurs.

The former England youth international had played 50 times for his boyhood club before falling out of favour.

Following an unsuccessful loan at Augsburg, Tanganga moved to Millwall on an initial six-month deal.

Having impressed at The Den, the defender made the switch permanent.

Tanganga made 40 Championship appearances last season as the Lions came eighth.

HUDDERSFIELD want to bring Murray Wallace back to the club but are fighting with Blackpool.

The defender has left Millwall and is in talks with both sides.

NORWICH are helping keeper Angus Gunn in his recovery from an ankle injury — despite his exit from the club.

Gunn damaged ligaments playing for Scotland and is being treated at Carrow Road as he tries to find a new home.

WREXHAM centre-half Will Boyle hopes to join Gillingham because he will struggle for game time in the Championship.

WIGAN defender K’Marni Miller could be on his way to Stockport. County are lining up a surprise move for the 19-year-old, though Norwich have also shown interest.

BRIGHTON striker Joe Belmont, 18, is wanted on loan by Accrington. The Welshman was at Everton as a kid and could return to the North West.

Meanwhile, Stanley have lost 39 of their academy kids after shutting down that side of the club for financial reasons.

BLACKPOOL are trying to sign winger Warren Davis from Drogheda  at the second attempt.

FOR many hopefuls stepping into the Love Island villa, the ultimate prize isn’t just romance, but a golden ticket to lasting fame and fortune.

However, life after Majorca often proves far different – with influencer freebies and big-money brand deals quickly fading for most contestants.

Many forgotten Love Island stars have returned to their day jobs[/caption]

As a result, fans are beginning to see former Islanders return to their pre-villa careers.

For many, the stability of a regular job outweighs the fleeting glitz and glamour of reality telly.

Here, The Sun takes a look at those who’ve chosen a normal job over the pursuit of fame.

Two years on, he’s back working his old job as a roofer[/caption]

Fans of the hit ITV2 dating show saw Billy Brown enter the TV villa back in 2022.

The hunk was one of the bombshells to arrive during Love Island‘s infamous Casar Amor week.

Unfortunately for Billy his time was short-lived and he was dumped from the villa two weeks after his arrival.

Two years on, Billy has now revealed he’s back working his old job as a roofer.

Now 24, he took to social media to share an update with fans on a construction site as he wrote “pushing on”.

He continued on camera: “Another day, doing the house.

“Have a look, pushing on now, the floor joints are going in….that’s how it’s looking from above.

“Next stage is the floor and then the top steels.”

The hunk is also on top of his fitness and regularly posts snaps of him playing football to his 117,000 followers on Instagram.

Hugo Hammond, 28, first shot to prominence when he competed in the seventh series of Love Island.

He appeared on the long-running dating show in 2021 where he was dumped from the villa after 38 days on the show.

But three years following his television stint, the star made a huge personal announcement.

The former reality contestant announced that he is joining property development company Pearcroft Developments.

His new firm specialises in building environmentally friendly luxury homes that provide sustainable living.

Hugo took to social media to announce his new personal news and career move.

He was beaming as he posed in a sleek grey kitchen, dressed in a navy polo top with complementary trousers.

The star wrote: “There we land. After a whirlwind few years consisting of teaching, TV and travel.

“I’m Excited to announce that i will be joining the @pearcroft developments investment team, where i will be continuing to build my network and driving sustainable development.

Hugo added: “If you want to know more about #greeninvesting and #sustainableliving, drop me a message.”

Not long after the show, Munveer returned to his work in recruitment[/caption]

His failure to find love in the villa last summer proved to be a blessing in disguise.

In a series that was dominated by Joey Essex‘s surprise arrival, Munveer’s screen time was limited – culminating in a dumping on day 10.

Not long after the show, Munveer returned to his work in recruitment, specifically the tech sector, which he now has a decade of experience in.

But having had a taste of the Love Island life, he’s craving more time in the public eye.

“I’ve had a taste for it now and I feel like where I had it just taken away from me ever so quickly,” he says. “I feel like I’ve got so much more to offer. I loved it. So if there’s more opportunities out there, like your Made In Chelsea, The Traitors or wherever it is, I’m definitely up for it.”

He failed to find love on the show, after coupling up with Samira Mighty, Ellie Brown and Alexandra Cane.

Before the ITV2 show he was an A&E doctor and after Love Island he continued to work at Lewisham Hospital.

The star worked on the frontline during the Covid pandemic between 2020 and 2021.

Since his stint on the programme, Alex has done plenty of work for mental health charities, after his brother Llyr committed suicide when he was 19.

Alex is also the UK Youth Mental Health Ambassador within the Department for Education.

He’s also appeared on TV shows such as Good Morning Britain and Lorraine to talk about the important topics.

Anna appeared in Love Island 2019 alongside the likes of Maura Higgins, Molly Mae Hague and Lucie Donlan.

She originally coupled up with Sherif Lanre, but later found a connection with Jordan Hames.

However she was dumped days before the final.

Anna has a huge following on social media and loves to share sizzling snaps on her Instagram.

But during the pandemic, she returned to the pharmacy as a pharmacist.

Anna confessed: “First day back working as a Pharmacist since leaving Love Island. It’s been almost a whole year! Wow can’t believe how fast it’s gone.

“Wasn’t really planning on registering yet but with everything that’s going on it felt wrong not to.

“We can all fight this together. Stay safe. Stay home. Save lives.”

Malin Andersson

Malin shot to fame in 2016 while on Love Island.

She coupled up with Rykard Jenkins and then Terry Walsh – who moved on very quickly from her when she was dumped from the show.

Before the programme Malin worked as a elderly and palliative carer – and just like Alex and Anna – she returned to her old job during the years of the pandemic.

She confessed: “I can’t sit at home on my own anymore knowing I have training within the sector.”

Rachel appeared on the same series as Malin all those years ago.

Rykard fell head over heels for the beauty and when she was dumped on day 15, he decided to go with her.

The pair didn’t last long…

Similar to the other Islanders working in the health service, she returned to the clinic as a orthopaedic clinical nurse during Covid.

DANNIELLA Westbrook has undergone surgery to rebuild her face – with surgeons using cartilage from her rib to fix her nose.

The former EastEnders actress was seen with a bandage over her nose following the procedure.

Danniella, 51, was supported by her boyfriend, bare knuckle fighter, Charlie Symonds after the op.

The surgery saw doctors removing cartilage from her rib to help perform a bone graft across the bridge of her nose.

She underwent the procedure on Thursday and told her fans: “Big day for me heading down for a very long surgery right now to rebuild my face.

“Then I can get back to work.”

A source said: “Danniella is recovering after the surgery and is being supported by Charlie.

“She is so grateful for the support from her fan base.”

Danniella got hooked on drugs aged 14 after shooting to fame as Sam Mitchell in the BBC One soap.

She said she wasted £250,000 on cocaine, was so badly addicted to the drug that she took five grams a day while pregnant with her son Kai.

Danniella abused the drug so badly that her septum – the cartilage that separates the two nostrils – fell out.

In 2023, Danniella opened up about her stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017 and said she was struggling with her addiction then.

She said: “When I went on Big Brother my kids were thinking ‘oh my God how’s she going to be?’

“Because I went on there doing 11 grams of gear [cocaine] a day.”

She got clean before relapsing again a year later and said: “I’m an addict and the wheels fell off. I was dabbing cocaine in my mouth and rubbing it around my gums to numb the pain.

“People think I was hoovering cocaine up my nose again but I wasn’t. I was wiping it around my gums.”

In 2021, she faced another relapse but got clean again.

Since then Danniella has spent over £500,000 rebuilding her face and in 2023 travelled to Turkey for her fifth facial reconstruction surgery, undergoing a surgical thread lift.

The procedure involved them putting 1,200 threads into her face, and then liposuction to remove fat from her body and put it into her cheeks and lips to make her face more symmetrical.

PRINCE Harry practised his German as he shared a video message to mark the country’s first ever Veteran’s Day.

The Duke of Sussex said it was a “profound privilege” to deliver the message on the “sacred day”.

Harry started his speech in German, greeting members of the country with their native tongue by saying “Guten Tag Deutschland!”

The Duke referenced joining over 2500 people including veterans and injured service members when he was last in Germany for the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf back in 2023.

Harry said: “My last visit to your remarkable country was to Düsseldorf two years ago for the Invictus Games, and it remains etched in my memory.

“The warmth, the enthusiasm, and the unwavering support shown by the German people for our global community of wounded service personnel was truly humbling. You certainly delivered on your promise to create a home for respect.

“That spirit of camaraderie, forged on the sports field, mirrors the unbreakable bond that connects veterans of all nations. We understand each other, regardless of flag or uniform, bound by shared experiences and an enduring commitment to service.

“Veterans are more than warriors – they are leaders. Living testaments to resilience and moral courage, they understand that loyalty must never lie with power alone, but with the people. With truth.”

During the video message, Harry was seen wearing numerous ceremonial medals that he was awarded in the past.

This included the Afghan Campaign medal, Golden Jubilee medal, Diamond Jubilee medal and Platinum Jubilee medal.

However, non-working members of the royal family are barred from wearing military uniforms to official state occasions and Harry was not allowed to wear the military uniform to the Queen’s procession following her death.

After Harry stepped away from his Royal Family duties he was also stripped of his honorary military roles.

But the Duke still wore his medals on his suit at the coffin procession for the late Queen.

Speaking about service, Harry continued in his speech: “As someone who has worn the uniform and stood shoulder to shoulder with brothers-and sisters-in-arms from across the world – including many of you – I know that the weight of service is not carried lightly.

“We serve not to glorify war, but to protect peace. Not to follow a single voice, but to uphold a collective oat – to country, to people, and to the principles that bind us together as free nations.

“Germany has shown the world how memory, accountability, and unity can be turned into strength.”

Harry added how during “turbulent times”,, Germany’s role in safeguarding peace and stability in Europe “has never been more critical”.

He continued: “To the brave men and women of the Bundeswehr – a heartfelt thank you for your steadfast service to your country, to your people and to one another.

“Today is also a celebration of you, the values you stand for, the oath you took and the great country you stand to protect.

“Today, let us renew our commitment—together—to protect the freedoms that define who we are, to serve each other for peace, for dignity and for the enduring promise of democracy.

“Vielen dank und einen schonen tag.”

It comes just 24 hours after the Royals all came out in formal attire for Trooping the Colour.

Wills wore the Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards yesterday during the parade.

Prince William saluted while on horseback, alongside Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Kate, meanwhile, looked elegant in an aquamarine Catherine Walker coatdress with ivory lapels and cuffs.

Both King Charles and Prince William were spotted wearing a black armband as they made their way down The Mall.

Those at the parade also held a minute’s silence following the devastating crash.
