KATIE Price has been cruelly trolled over her appearance, while sharing a birthday tribute to her boyfriend JJ.
The 47-year-old posted a photo stood with her MAFS star boyfriend, and wrote: “Happy birthday JJ had a lovely day celebrating your birthday in the sunshine.”
In the photo, Katie can be seen in a white crop top and matching shorts with her dark hair up in a ponytail.
And JJ, who turned 32, could be seen standing next to her in a black top and beige trousers, with his arm around his girlfriend Katie.
The couple looked in good spirits for the birthday celebration, while standing on a balcony abroad.
But some fans were quick to target Katie’s appearance, as she flashed her teeth in a big grin.
One person wrote: “I once bought some teeth like that from the rock shop at the seaside.”
A second person said: “Omg ur teeth r a joke,” and a third penned: “Are you going to buy him some ridiculous teeth.”
Others poked fun at Katie’s “turkey teeth,” in cruel comments.
But despite the cruel backlash over her appearance, many positive comments were shared, wishing JJ a happy birthday.
The post comes days after Katie showed off her bum admitting she’d had MORE filler added to it, after sparking concern with her new look.
The former glamour model, 47, has spent a HUGE amount of money over the years on cosmetic procedures – leaving some fans worried.
In her latest Instagram video, Katie revealed that she was back at the clinic and was having another cosmetic procedure.
She then shared that she’d had filler added to her bottom.
Addressing fans, the TV star said: “So the bum is done! Here’s a little sneaky, beaky, boopky!” – she then went on to show how round her behind looked now.
Her latest “tweakment” comes after fans were “left concerned” when she showed off a “painfully” tight face this week.
Many have begged her to stop getting work done.
Katie has previously been warned she is “dicing with death” with her surgery habits.
EVIL Vladimir Putin would not think twice before flooding another million soldiers to die on the battlefield, defence experts have warned.
It comes as Putin’s battlefield casualties have soared past the bloody one million milestone after 40 months of meatgrinder war.
Ukraine’s fierce resistance forced Russia to pay a mighty toll for every inch of land it has taken, and its advances remain painfully slow.
The staggering milestone includes troops who have been killed or wounded so severely that they cannot fight on.
According to the Ukrainian General Staff, one million Russian military troops have been put out of action since February 24, 2022, with 628,000 of those casualties occurring in the last six months.
Burning through a million troops has won Putin just 20 per cent of Ukraine’s total territory – mainly in southern and eastern areas – which is a humiliating conversion rate.
Despite the devastating losses which have already ripped a scar in Russian society, experts fear that Putin is likely unaffected by the numbers.
And that’s because mass sacrifice is ingrained in his Soviet-style battle plan.
Russian people are also too scared to stand up to the monster they’ve created and would rather die killing Ukrainians
Ukrainian government source
Leading defence expert Philip Ingram told The Sun: “Putin does not care about the numbers. He has a huge number of people ready to go to war.
“Though he has been having difficulties in recruiting soldiers full-time, he is recruiting soldiers from rural Russia on contracts and paying them heavily.
“Russia is sending waves and waves of soldiers, often without the support of artillery and other fire weapons. They are being slaughtered.”
Mr Ingram said the Russian population may not be aware of the actual casualty rate of the war, which is being kept away the Kremlin’s propaganda machine.
He explained how soliders are being recruited from isolated parts of Russia where the population is often poor with low literacy levels.
And how Putin is “buying their silence” by offering them “life-changing compensations”.
The expert said: “Soldiers are coming in from vast parts of Russia where there is no connectivity. Their literacy levels are extremely low.
“What’s keeping them coming is the amount of compensation they are getting, which is often life-changing.
“It means they or their families would never have to work again for the rest of their lives.
“That’s how Vladimir Putin is buying their silence; he seems to have the population behind him.
Russia expert Bill Borwder told The Sun that Putin would lose “another five million soldiers” if it helps him to stay in power.
Putin will sacrifice one, two or even five million Russians just to make sure that he stays in power
Bill Browder
He said: “Part of the reason that Putin is at war is not because he wants a piece of Ukraine ot he’s upset with NATO.
“He’s at war because he’s desperately afraid of his own people, and the best way of having his people have their anger deflected is have them angry at some foreign adversary.
“Putin is so scared for losing his own life, he’s ready to sacrifice one, two or even five million Russians just to make sure that he stays in power.”
A Ukrainian government source told The Sun: “Putin doesn’t care and never cared for the people of Russian Federation, be it ethnic Russians or representatives of other minorities.
“For him, it is a matter of personal survival and he would be willing to send anyone to death – from a Russian soldier to a Ukrainian child – for his own miserable existence.
“Unfortunately, Russian people in majority are also too scared to stand up to the monster they’ve created, and would rather die killing other nation’s people than risk their lives standing up against it.”
Dr Stephen Hall, politics lecturer at the University of Bath, said that as far as the warmongering dictator is concerned, things are heading in the right direction, so he will keep on condemning young Russians to their deaths.
He told The Sun: “Putin believes he’s winning the war. The Russian army is moving forward like it or not.
“He believes that he can outlast the West, that the West is weak.”
Russia’s strategy, Dr Hall said, has been one of “meat assault”.
This relies on the logic that if you flood the front line with overwhelming numbers, “eventually some will get through”.
Dr Hall said Putin has learned this strategy from his ruthless Soviet predecessors in World War Two.
Their idea was “ten men to every rifle”, which meant: “You pick up the rifle of a fallen soldier. You keep going, you get shot. You’re next. Your buddy picks up your rifle.
“The Soviet army would eventually push through. So that remains the case in Russia.”
Russians ‘know how to suffer’, which allows the regime to continue with its meatgrinder tactics
Dr Stephen Hall
And that approach suits Putin just fine, because he “doesn’t care about his men”, Dr Hall said.
He said the Russian people “know how to suffer”, which allows the regime to continue with its meat-grinder tactics.
The Kremlin also meets less resistance from the Russian people than a million losses should merit, because it simply lies to them, Dr Hall said.
He said: “They’re simply not going to be told, especially in the poorer areas where Russia is recruiting – like Buryatia and Bashkortostan and elsewhere.”
Even with the death toll climbing higher by the day — over 1,140 Russian soldiers killed or wounded on Tuesday — Putin appears to be doubling down.
The bloody milestone comes as Putin calls for a major upgrade to Russia’s ground forces, Ukrainian outlet Pravda reports.
The Kremlin tyrant declared them the “dominant force” in modern warfare and demanded faster development of “advanced weapons systems” with “the highest tactical and technical specifications.”
In a meeting on the state armaments programme, Putin also directed resources toward strengthening Russia’s navy, further signalling his long-term military ambitions.
It all comes as Russia is reportedly building up a 50,000-strong force alongside the border of Kharkiv amid fears of a fresh summer offensive to attack the city.
With the US backing out of direct negotiations to broker a peace deal and Putin stalling ceasefire talks, experts fear a major Russian offensive could mobilise in the coming weeks.
The Ukrainian military in April reported that the Kremlin was amassing troops to prepare for a fresh assault on Kharkiv – Ukraine’s second largest city.
Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky also said that Moscow has been attempting to gain ground in the border regions of Sumy in the northeast.
Military analysts believe he is trying to press home his advantage and capture more Ukrainian land.
They warn that Putin only has a “four-month window” to get a breakthrough in Ukraine this year.
And this could be the beginning of Russia’s summer offensive targeting the border city of Kharkiv – the “fortress” city of Ukraine which put up the maximum resistance at the start of the invasion.
NESTLED away in the countryside of Kent is the village of Headcorn that has its own Shakespeare House and you might even see a big cat.
The village is just an hour away from London – but with its quaint charm and Tudor houses it will feel like you’re even further from the city.
Headcorn has even been listed as one of the 100 best commuter towns by The Telegraph, being praised for its “picturesque setting and rich history“.
Direct trains from London go from Charing Cross, stopping at the likes of Marden and Staplehurst – and it only takes an hour and five minutes.
The village has a number of Grade II listed buildings and one of the more recognisable is called Shakespeare House which was built in the 16th century.
In actual fact, it has nothing to do with Shakespeare, and was originally used for cloth production.
Surprisingly, there’s also the opportunity to see big cats like lynx, cheetahs, lions and leopards.
Luckily, they’ll be in enclosures at The Big Cat Sanctuary which is a registered animal charity dedicated to global conservation.
For anyone who is curious about the sanctuary, you can even organise a stay there at one of their eight lodges.
Nearby is also the Lashenden Air Warfare Museum, which for aviation enthusiasts, has an extensive collection of aircraft relics, mostly from World War Two.
Headcorn dates back to Neolithic period and very near the local church are the remains of the Headcorn Oak tree.
The huge tree was around 500 to a thousand years old when it was severely damaged by a fire in 1989.
It continued to grow until 1993 but only the remains of the old oak are left.
As for what to do there, the Headcorn Farmers Market has stalls selling food, fruits and vegetables, homemade jams, honey, cakes and pastries too.
Local artists selling handcrafted goods also set up shop so you can have a wander around.
The market hits the streets on the second Saturday of every month.
There’s also three pubs, George & Dragon, The White Horse and Tap 17 Micro Bar.
Tap 17 micro-bar, located in Headcorn won the “Pub/Bar of the Year” award at the Kent & Medway Food & Drink Awards. earlier this year.
One visitor even called it the “best micropub ever” on Tripadvisor.
Headcorn is just 15-minutes away from the village of Sissinghurst which has its own castle.
It’s found in the borough of Tunbridge Wells in Kent and it has been included in the Telegraph’s 10 prettiest villages in Kent 2024.
Sissinghurst is best known for its famous gardens and castle that is run by the National Trust
The village’s tower was never actually a castle, but got that title from the 3,000 French sailors who were imprisoned there during the 1700s.
You’ll find Headcorn in ‘Royal’ English town which has one of the UK’s fanciest Wetherspoons, and was named one of the top place to live in the UK.
And another castle in Kent that people say looks like a Disney film.
THEY’RE sweet, brightly-coloured and come in every shape going – from teddy bears to stars and berries.
But do vitamin gummies really do anything? Or are they just another gimmicky wellness product?
Vitamin supplements have been around for decades, and the chewable kinds have been on pharmacy and supermarket shelves since the 1990s.
They promise to give us more energy, better sleep, thicker hair, healthier skin, stronger nails, improved digestion and boosted immunity.
Thanks to TikTok trends and influencer shoutouts, these daily chews have become must-have accessories.
And brands are seriously cashing in – the UK vitamins and supplements market is said to be worth £520million.
Celebs are also jumping on the gummy train, with many coming out with their own lines.
Kourtney Kardashian, for example, created lemme gummies, which are advertised as doing everything from reducing stress to promoting vaginal freshness.
And obviously you can’t talk about supplements without naming wellness queen Gwyneth Paltrow, who has her own gummies through Goop.
With such big-name backing, it’s easy to forget boring old pills and assume gummies are the glam way to stay healthy – but is this backed by science?
TWO thirds of people in the UK take some kind of vitamin, mineral or supplement every day, according to Mintel.
“But a lot of people take these, especially multivitamins, when they don’t actually need to,” Bahee Van de Bor, registered paediatric dietitian, tells Sun Health.
“The only exception is vitamin D, which is recommended for most people in the UK.
“If you’re concerned there might be gaps in you or your child’s diet, it’s always worth looking at how your food choices could be improved first, ideally with the support of a registered dietitian.”
Dr Rachel Ward, NHS GP (@drrachelwardGP), adds: “The best way to get the vitamins we need is through a healthy, balanced diet and this would always be the way I would advise people to stay well.
“However, if you feel this is not possible – if you’re excluding certain foods, for example – then supplements can be helpful.
“An exception is vitamin D. We get very little of it in our diets and we produce most of it in our skin when it is exposed to sunlight.
“We know that, especially in winter, many people in the UK become deficient in vitamin D and the NHS recommends that everyone takes supplements during autumn and winter and those at risk take them all year round.”
“AS long as the gummies provide the correct dose and the manufacturer routinely tests their levels, they can be just as effective as a vitamin or mineral supplement in powder, spray or liquid form,” Bahee says.
“Gummies are often developed for children with sensory feeding difficulties or picky eaters, who may be more likely to accept them over other formats.
“If a supplement is genuinely needed, tablets or capsules are often preferable as they tend to contain fewer flavourings and other extras.
“Gummies, by design, usually require more ingredients like sugars, flavourings, gelling agents, and sometimes emulsifiers to achieve their chewy texture and appealing taste.
“I don’t take gummies myself — I prefer a tablet or spray that I can swallow.
“These formats often contain fewer added ingredients, though checking the label for specifics is always important.”
ONE of the biggest questions you might have is about sugar and artificial sweeteners.
These gummies must contain more sugar than a pill, but is it something to be worried about?
According to Bahee, context is everything. It’s not just about what’s in the gummy, but how often you’re taking it and what your overall diet looks like.
“That said, if a gummy is the only form you or your child will consistently take, the good news is that the amount of additives, like emulsifiers, is generally very small,” she says.
“There have been some studies in animals suggesting that high, repeated intake of certain emulsifiers, such as polysorbate 80 and carboxymethylcellulose, may alter gut bacteria or trigger inflammation in the gut.
“But these were at much higher doses than you’d find in a typical supplement, and we don’t yet have strong evidence that this is a concern for humans at normal intake levels.”
I did notice some health benefits. I slept like a baby and definitely had more energy!
Lily Ruaah
Dr Ward adds: “Vitamin gummies are very varied in the supplements they contain and the added sugar and colourings and so on.
“Therefore buy them from a reputable pharmacy, who can advise which is best for your needs.
“Always opt for the low sugar version, especially for children.”
Vitamin A – for vision and immune health in children and adults over 50+.
B vitamins – for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis.
Vitamin C – for the immune system, collagen production, and antioxidant function.
Vitamin D – for bone health, immune function, and calcium absorption.
Vitamin E – to protect cells from damage and support immune function.
Calcium – for bone health and muscle contraction.
Zinc – for immune function, supports wound healing and DNA synthesis.
Iron – for red blood cells and oxygen transport in the body.
Magnesium – for muscle function, bone health, and energy production.
Potassium – to regulate fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle contractions.
I’VE always been a die hard vitamin pill taker.
Even when I was a kid, my parents would give me the edible teddy bear vitamins which, let’s be honest, tasted like chalk.
So I was keen to try something a bit tastier — enter gummies.
Vitamin gummies are all over my ‘for you’ page, as I’m sure they are for everyone on #WellnessTok, and I’ve been dying to try them.
When I was thinking about what vitamin gummies to choose from, there were a number of key factors. I wanted something that would:
Because of course, we’d all love to try the Kardashian gummies, but at $30 per bottle it’s not the right option for everyone!
After a little web browsing, I chose the Nutriburst Women’s Multivitamin – a seemingly good all-rounder.
They’re vegan, sugar free, gluten free, halal certified, kosher permitted, and have no artificial flavours or colours – so basically tick all the boxes!
These gummies promise to boost energy, fight fatigue, support a woman’s hormonal balance, strengthen bones and boost immunity. A lot of promises for a tiny little chew!
Once I got my hands on a bottle (for £12.99 on Amazon), I could see exactly what’s inside.
Stand out qualities for me? Alongside the usual vitamins and minerals, the gummies contain biotin and vitamin B12, both of which I usually have to take separately, even when using a multivitamin pill so that was a major win for me.
However, I did notice they didn’t contain any vitamin D – as experts suggest – so it meant I still had to buy vitamin D tablets, which was a shame.
Other than the absolutely aesthetic bottle, my first thoughts were: these taste great!
I’ve had candy gummies in the past (not vitamin ones) and these taste even better than those. Move over Haribo, I’ll have a Nutriburst gummy.
The texture is good and they’re not too sweet. You need to have two per day, and I’d happily have more.
PERHAPS surprisingly, I did notice some health benefits.
The best for me was sleeping better. I slept like a baby and definitely had more energy!
I definitely fell asleep faster, which is something I usually struggle with.
I also had more energy to exercise during the day. It was easier to get myself up and about – for swimming in particular – which can sometimes feel like a chore.
But I can’t promise that wouldn’t have happened with a vitamin pill, which feels like it can be better value for money — and like I’m having unnecessary sweets all day (sorry, teeth).
Either way though, I think I’m going to stick with taking some kind of vitamin, especially vitamin D!
Supplements can help us reach vitamin and mineral recommendations.
But Dr Carol Granger, a registered nutrition practitioner with a degree in biochemistry and a masters in microbiology, warns of many additions to supplements, medications and foods that could cause side effects, and suggests doing your research before buying commercial pills.
She tells Sun Health: “Ingredients like talc, E numbers, and gelatin are all used as bulking agents or as colourings and they can have serious long-term health impacts like heartburn, dizziness, fainting and severe allergic reactions.”
Here are the worst culprits:
Magnesium stearate
Unlike the name suggests, this ingredient contains no magnesium (which may help with sleep, anxiety and bone health).
Dr Granger says: “This is used as a lubricant – it prevents ingredients sticking together and means the machines that make the tablets don’t block.”
But she warns that “high amounts can cause a laxative effect and it can cause inflammation too, especially in those who are sensitive to allergies”.
It’s unlikely the small amount found in supplements is enough to do harm, but it may be worth reconsidering if you have been taking it for a long time.
Ascorbyl Palmitate
Ascorbyl palmitate is a form of vitamin C made by combining ascorbic and palmitic acids.
It’s considered safe in the amounts that are used when added to skincare.
Dr Granger says: “This is used as an antioxidant food additive and preservative meaning things with it in can have a longer use by date.”
But she claims “excess amounts can cause nausea, diarrhoea, and vomiting”.
Aspartame
You’ll may be familiar with aspartame, which is a sugar-alternative often used in things like soft drinks, sweetened diet products or other ‘low/no sugar’ foods.
Dr Granger says: “This is a sweetener a lot of people have heard of.
“It’s a flavour enhancer but because it’s an artificial sweetener, it has been linked to weight gain.”
Studies have found both that sweeteners like aspartame help people lose weight, but also gain weight by potentially increasing appetite.
Several studies have linked high intakes to more serious health problems such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and dementia but there has been much debate about the results.
But Dr Granger claims: “It can affect metabolism so if you see it on any ingredient list, my advice would be to give it a wide berth.”
Carrageenans
Carrageenan is an ingredient that has long had concern surrounding it.
Products with it may be labelled as ‘natural’ because it is derived from seaweed, therefore it is also found in some plant-based/vegan foods.
But Dr Granger says: “The processing used to make some types of carrageenan makes it into something you definitely don’t want to consume.
“They’re widely used as gelling agent and thickener. They can be used to prevent powder clumping so may be in powder supplements you add to smoothies.
“But some cause inflammation, are really bad for digestive health and have been linked to ulcers too.
“Some can also destabilise blood sugar and cause problems with blood sugar balance.”
Calcium Phosphate
Calcium phosphate is a mineral (calcium and phosphate) which are essential for bone, muscle, blood and nerve health.
Some may benefit from additional calcium, such as menopausal women with weakening bones.
But calcium phosphate is also used as an additive to products, from supplements to toothpaste and fertilizers.
Dr Granger says: “This is used to bulk out and buffer ingredients like vitamin C.
“Side effects can include kidney problems, loss of appetite and weakness.”

HOUSE hunters who fail to notice a handful of red flags on a property could end up forking out nearly £26,000 in repairs.
Trying to get on the property ladder is already costly enough, with buyers expected to save for a deposit, pay stamp duty charges and solicitors fees.
But prospective owners who fail to spot issues like mould, or faulty plumbing could end up forking out more in repairs.
The Sun spoke to Jeremy Leaf, north London estate agent, who said buyers should go into property viewing with their “eyes open”.
“When you’re buying a house, it’s a big commitment and you’re going to get some nasty surprises,” he shares.
The expert has shared the four biggest red flags buyers should look out for to avoid paying up to £25,700 in repairs.
When viewing a property, Jeremy said wannabe homeowners should keep their eyes peeled for Japanese knotweed.
This plant grows quickly and can cause damage to buildings, plus it’s extremely difficult to eradicate.
Japanese knotweed, which was introduced to the UK as an ornamental plant in the nineteenth century, can only be removed with costly specialist treatment.
The plant can be identified from its distinct features, such as large, heart-shaped leaves, hollow bamboo-like stems that have a zig-zag growth pattern.
So if you suspect the plant may be present in the home you should ask the seller or estate agent.
That’s because the issue could cost up to £20,000 to fix depending on the severity of the issue.
Alex Peters, author of Checkatrade cost guides, said: “There are numerous ways to remove Japanese knotweed with average removal costs at £1,750 but this can range from £950 – £20,000 depending on the scale of the problem.
“Methods include domestic herbicide treatment, full excavation & removal, sifting and screening and on-site relocation.”
Abestos was commonly used to insulate homes, but was banned in the UK 26 years ago because it was discovered to be a health hazard.
It can be identified by its fluffy texture when found in buildings.
Jeremy said that sellers can try and obscure it and make it difficult for a buyer to find.
In some instances, the property expert said that people looking to shift their home have parked old cars in front of walls in the garage to cover up the substance.
“People can go to great lengths to obscure defects and properties, if they want to,” he said.
To have asbestos removed, you will need a qualified surveyor to carry out an inspection, Alex from Checkatrade.
“This costs in the region of £200-£1,000 and they will identify the type of asbestos in your home and any associated risks.”
He added: “Average removal costs can range from £950 – £3,750.”
Buying a house with electric and plumbing deficiencies could end up costing you up to £750.
Jeremy said house hunters should closely examine plugs and switches in the home they are considering buying to see if they work correctly.
It may also be worth running taps and the shower to see if everything is working as it should be.
Alex said the best way to check out any problems is with an electrical safety check.
This is a sort of MOT for the electric systems in your home.
He said: “The average cost of an electrical safety check roughly starts at £100 – £250.
“It is wise to have an electrical safety check every 5-10 years and this should always be completed by a qualified electrician.”
Alex said that if you require extra work to be conducted by an electrician such as adding new wiring or mending broken electrical equipment, electricians could charge £55 per hour or £400 per day.
Meanwhile, the cost to repair a burst or leaking pipe could cost up to between £50 to £350 per day.
Fixing mould in your new property could end up costing you £1,200.
So it may be worth keeping your eyes peeled for the substance to avoid forking out for repairs once you move in.
Alex said buyers should “always be on the lookout for mould” as it loves to appear in hidden areas.
The fungus is often found in areas that are damp, dark, and not easily visible.
These spots can include behind furniture, in loft spaces, beneath carpets or floors, behind curtains, and inside toilet tanks.
It is also worth checking out windows and cupboards where condensation and moisture builds quickly.
You can also ask the seller or estate agent if the property has experienced issues with mould in the past and if they have been resolved.
Alex said issues caused by mould are “numerous” and it is always “better to remove the problem as soon as possible to stop it from spreading and causing damage”.
Saving for your first property is tough, but it is possible. Here are a few steps for first-time buyers.
1. Cut back on luxuries and start saving
Consistent monthly saving is the best way to accumulate enough money to get on the ladder, for a deposit and purchase fees. To do this, you need to take a look at your monthly outgoings and think about what can be cut out – holidays, new clothes, weekly takeaway.
Using a savings calculator can help you to establish how long you will need to save for a deposit. Based on your income, you can figure out a realistic amount to save each month.
2. Have a realistic property search
Set a budget for the property price you would like to buy, and think realistically about the location and size of your property. While we all may want that house with a view or extra bedroom, can you afford it?
3. Research Help To Buy and Shared Ownership schemes
The government has introduced a few ways to help first-time-buyers get on the property ladder and they’re great for those on lower incomes or to buy a property in more expensive areas like London.
4. Consider buying with another person
Investing with somebody else you know is a sure way to get onto the property ladder. You only need to save half the amount you would otherwise, so you can work towards getting your property sooner.
You can invest with a friend, family or partner. Naturally, it is a big step and a huge commitment so be open and honest about what you expect from living together — if you haven’t already.
5. Talk to a mortgage broker and get your documents in order
A mortgage broker can tell you exactly how much you can borrow for a mortgage, what you will need to pay monthly and in upfront costs.
EMMA RADUCANU has pulled out of the German Open.
The Briton was due to enter the Berlin tennis tournament starting next Wednesday, June 18.
However, the 22-year-old has pulled out of the event as a precaution to rest her back ahead of Wimbledon.
On Friday, Raducanu was knocked out of Queens at the quarter-final stage in straight sets 6-2, 6-4 by Chinese No.1 seed Qinwen Zheng.
Raducanu, now ranked as the British No.1, revealed she has struggled with back pain since playing in Strasbourg in May, where she was eliminated in the last 16.
She said: “I have been struggling with my back since Strasbourg, and it’s just been something that’s been on and off.
“I have been managing it pretty well over the last few weeks, but I guess as the week goes on and I have played five matches now, even if two were doubles, I think it just tests it out.
“And I just felt it as the load goes up. They took me off court and taped it to give me some extra stability, and some painkillers.
“It has been lingering for the last few weeks and I have had back issues before. It’s just a vulnerability of mine. I know I need to take good care of it.”
The former US Open champion actually broke a little-known rule during her defeat to Zheng.

As her opponent took a long break in play to change her footwear, Raducanu was seen practising her serves.
However, in doing so she broke a rule, with players only allowed to practise serves before a match.
Despite Raducanu’s exit from Berlin, the tournament is still stacked full of high-ranking players.
Among them are World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka and French Open champion Coco Gauff.
In fact, the only player missing from the top 10 women’s singles players in the world is five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek due to discomfort in her shoulder.
However, Raducanu is expected to play at Eastbourne later this month.
Wimbledon will then begin on June 30.
She has not yet made it past the fourth round in SW19.
But Raducanu will have the chance to win a new and improved prize pot after the singles prize money for the winner increased to £3million.
A LIP reader has revealed what Prince Louis asked his brother Prince George as the royals arrived for Trooping the Colour today.
Cheers erupted from the crowds as George, 11, with his cheeky younger brother Louis, seven, were spotted arriving for the King’s birthday celebrations.
The two brothers were seen grinning and deep in conversation as the open carriage rolled along the Mall on a glorious sunny morning.
Now, a professional reader has exclusively revealed to The Sun exactly what she thinks the young pair were talking about.
The expert claims Louis asks George “should I wave?”.
George then turns to his younger brother and is said to have replied: “It’s up to you, I you cant believe how sunny it is”.
Louis then says “let’s do it together’ before the brothers wave to the cheering crowds, claims the lip reader.
Meanwhile, Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte, 10, who were in the same carriage as George and Louis, stunned as they wore matching blue and white outfits.
Prince William, who is expected to have a starring role in today’s celebrations, was earlier spotted arriving in a car with his family.
He later appeared on horseback, alongside Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh.
William took part in the military parade, wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards, a regiment of which he’s the colonel.
Anne hasn’t ridden in public since she suffered a head injury, thought to be caused by a horse, at her home last year.
The King’s escort stunned the crowds of royal fans as they appeared in formal dress.
King Charles and Queen Camilla smiled and waved at the crowds from their carriage.
The monarch is still undergoing his weekly treatments for cancer so is not on horseback this year.
King Charles asked royals to wear black armbands in remembrance of those killed in the Air India plane tragedy.
Those wearing the bands were the Prince of Wales, Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Princess Royal, Colonel Blues and Royals, and the Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel Scots Guards.
A palace spokesperson said this is “a mark of respect for the lives lost, the families in mourning and all the communities affected by this awful tragedy”.
There was also a minute’s silence at the event following Thursday’s devastating crash which killed at least 241 people.
Many fans braved the early morning rain to queue for a good view – bedecked in Union Jack flags and crowns.
Fans came prepared with umbrellas and rain coats after the Met Office issued storm warnings, as the UK is lashed by floods, thunder and lightning.
But the weather is thankfully clearing up as the morning stretches on.
There will be an incredible ceremony at the Horse Guard Parade and an airshow by the Red Arrows.
This year will be Charles’ third Trooping the Colour parade as monarch.
The parade began at Buckingham Palace, going along The Mall and then around the corner of St James’s Park to Horse Guards Parade.
When Charles arrived at the Horse Guards Parade, the Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41 gun salute in Green Park.
Over 1,400 officers and soldiers, 400 musicians, 200 horses and 10 bands are taking part in the Trooping the Colour event.
The parade today takes place almost five months before King Charles’ actual birthday.
Charles was born on November 14, though the reigning British monarch has two birthdays.
The sovereign’s birthday, which is celebrated through the Trooping the Colour, usually falls in the summer months.
