  62. &lt;p&gt;Kevin Webster (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/michael-le-vell/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Michael Le Vell&lt;/a&gt;) and his sister Debbie (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32542195/coronation-street-sue-devaney-furious-shock-exit-budget-cuts/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sue Devaney&lt;/a&gt;) are some of the longest-running characters on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; soap. &lt;/p&gt;
  63.  
  64.  
  65.  
  66. &lt;p&gt;After some concerning symptoms, Debbie will secretly make an appointment &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34173122/coronation-street-debbie-webster-dementia-killed-off/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;at the memory service clinic&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;
  67.  
  68.  
  69.  
  70. &lt;p&gt;However, after Kevin&amp;#8217;s testicular cancer diagnosis, his wife Abi (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24196072/sally-carmen-joe-duttine-holiday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sally Carmen&lt;/a&gt;) will head to Freshco to pick up some anti-sickness medication. &lt;/p&gt;
  71.  
  72.  
  73.  
  74. &lt;p&gt;However, in the car park of the shop she will run into a handsome man called Carl &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33757447/coronation-street-three-hunks-recast-hollwood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;played by Hollywood star Jonathan Howard&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  75.  
  76.  
  77.  
  78. &lt;p&gt;But, he will attempt to steal her parking space and will cause her to prang her car as a result. &lt;/p&gt;
  79.  
  80.  
  81.  
  82. &lt;p&gt;Her signature temper comes to the surface once again as she shouts at him, saying her husband is suffering from cancer. &lt;/p&gt;
  83.  
  84.  
  85.  
  86. &lt;p&gt;She will then completely lash out and give her unknown brother-in-law a bloody nose on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/coronation-street/&quot;&gt;Coronation Street&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  87.  
  88.  
  89.  
  90. &lt;p&gt;However, she will be left utterly mortified and will dish out an apology, although he shrugs it off. &lt;/p&gt;
  91.  
  92.  
  93.  
  94. &lt;p&gt;As he heads back to his car, the vehicle will then &lt;span id=&quot;89c36dd4-2a7b-4826-a79d-660d1a5abe19&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;fail&lt;/span&gt; to start and Abi offers to fix it. &lt;/p&gt;
  95.  
  96.  
  97.  
  98. &lt;p&gt;Carl will then start to flirt with her, telling her that she is funny and gorgeous. &lt;/p&gt;

  147. ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap. &lt;/p&gt;
  149. &lt;div&gt;
  150. &lt;p&gt;This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.&lt;/p&gt;
  151. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colson Smith &amp;#8211; Craig Tinker&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  152. &lt;p&gt;The character of Craig Tinker &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32642903/huge-coronation-street-star-colson-smith-craig-tinker-axed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;has been axed by bosses after 14 years&lt;/a&gt;. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig&amp;#8217;s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lisa-george/&quot;&gt;Lisa George&lt;/a&gt; was written out from the role.&lt;/p&gt;
  153. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sue Cleaver &amp;#8211; Eileen Grimshaw&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  154. &lt;p&gt;After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/im-a-celebrity/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;I&amp;#8217;m A Celebrity&lt;/a&gt; campmate Sue Cleaver &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32611078/coronation-street-sue-cleaver-eileen-grimshaw-quits/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;will quit the show&lt;/a&gt;. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she&amp;#8217;s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  155. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Luca Toolan &amp;#8211; Mason Radcliffe &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  156. &lt;p&gt;Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32641589/coronation-street-luca-toolan-axed-mason-radcliffe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;just 16 months after he first joined&lt;/a&gt; the show. Recent scenes saw &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32633019/coronation-street-mason-radcliffe-dead-exit/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers&lt;/a&gt; after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.&lt;/p&gt;
  157. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sue Devaney &amp;#8211; Debbie Webster&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  158. &lt;p&gt;In November 2024, we revealed that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31920563/coronation-street-debbie-webster-killed-off/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years&lt;/a&gt; on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline. &lt;/p&gt;
  159. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Charlotte Jordan &amp;#8211; Daisy Midgeley&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  160. &lt;p&gt;The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32652140/coronation-street-charlotte-jordan-quits-daisy-midgeley/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;revealed that she will bow out&lt;/a&gt; of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she&amp;#8217;s hungry to see what other opportunities await.&lt;/p&gt;
  161. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shelley King &amp;#8211; Yasmeen Metcalfe &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  162. &lt;p&gt;The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32783587/coronation-street-quits-shelley-king/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;we revealed in January&lt;/a&gt; that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31064324/coronation-street-star-confirms-exit-bill-fellows-stu-carpenter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;departure of her on-screen partner&lt;/a&gt; Stu Carpenter. &lt;/p&gt;
  163. &lt;/div&gt;

  173.  
  174. &lt;p&gt;He will intently listen to his brother as he repeats his wife&amp;#8217;s amusing story. &lt;/p&gt;
  175.

  237. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His loss has left a hole in the &lt;span id=&quot;db255326-3222-4106-a9e2-4774a832b091&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hearts&lt;/span&gt; of everyone who knew and loved him — especially his partner, Ella-Mae, and their beautiful three-year-old son, Haulie-Jay.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  238.  
  239.  
  240.  
  241. &lt;p&gt;It continues: &amp;#8220;Jaycee was more than a partner, a dad, a son, and a brother — he was the kind of person who brought warmth, humour, and strength wherever he went. &lt;/p&gt;
  242.  
  243.  
  244.  
  245. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His love for his family was fierce and unwavering. He lit up every room, and even in his final days, he fought with courage and grace to spend more time with the people he cherished most.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  246.  
  247.  
  248.  
  249. &lt;p&gt;The appeal encourages people to donate to help Ella-Mae and Haulie-Jay &amp;#8220;try to find their feet in a world that now feels so uncertain&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  274. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ANDREA BERTA is ready to raid LaLiga for talent this summer &amp;#8211; with Nico Williams in his sights. &lt;/p&gt;
  275.  
  276.  
  277.  
  278. &lt;p&gt;The new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34144552/andrea-berta-arsenal-sporting-director-morata-lemar-atletico-madrid/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Arsenal sporting director&lt;/a&gt; is bracing for a busy first few months in the job. &lt;/p&gt;
  279.  
  280.  
  281.  
  282. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34234332&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; width=&quot;5000&quot; height=&quot;3333&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/nico-williams-athletic-club-action-983657046.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Nico Williams of Athletic Club in action during a soccer match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34234332&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Nico Williams is on Arsenal&amp;#8217;s radar ahead of a huge summer at the Emirates[/caption]
  283.  
  284.  
  285.  
  286. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34234333&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/arsenal-managing-director-richard-garlick-983581296.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Nico Williams of Athletic Club in action during a soccer match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34234333&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;646&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;New sporting director Andrea Berta (left) is plotting a major overhaul[/caption]
  287.  
  288.  
  289.  
  290. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-transfer-auto-a4be9fff-ddc2-40a1-b014-0e1fa6227ce2.jpeg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Nico Williams' 2024-25 Athletic Club season statistics.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34234340&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;
  291.  
  292.  
  293.  
  294. &lt;p&gt;Italian Berta, 53, was appointed as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31485454/arsenal-edu-gaspar-quit-mikel-arteta-blow/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Edu&amp;#8217;s successor&lt;/a&gt; earlier this month.&lt;/p&gt;
  295.  
  296.  
  297.  
  298. &lt;p&gt;And he&amp;#8217;s got straight to work in planning for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34177200/arsenal-five-man-striker-shortlist-isak-ekitike-transfer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;radical overhaul at the Emirates.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  299.  
  300.  
  301.  
  302. &lt;p&gt;The former Atletico Madrid chief reportedly met with Williams&amp;#8217; representatives earlier this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  303.  
  304.  
  305.  
  306. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It was one of Berta&amp;#8217;s &lt;/span&gt;first acts in his new role, where he is tasked with making &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt; consistent title challengers.&lt;/p&gt;
  307.  
  308.  
  309.  
  310. &lt;p&gt;Berta set up a meeting with the 22-year-old’s agent Felix Tainta, according to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/apr/02/arsenal-eye-summer-move-for-athletic-bilbaos-nico-williams-after-initial-talks?CMP=share_btn_url&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  311.  
  312.  
  313.  
  314. &lt;p&gt;Williams, a tricky and exciting winger, has been a long-term target for the Gunners. &lt;/p&gt;
  315.  
  316.  
  317.  
  318. &lt;p&gt;He has helped Bilbao reach the quarter finals of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/europa-league/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Europa League&lt;/a&gt; this season, netting 8 times in 35 games. &lt;/p&gt;
  319.  
  320.  
  321.  
  322. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal approached Bilbao over a move last summer after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29217518/var-england-euro-2024-final-spain/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Williams had broken England&amp;#8217;s hearts&lt;/a&gt; in the Euro 2024 final.&lt;/p&gt;
  323.  
  324.  
  325.  
  326. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34223014/arsenal-injuries-gabriel-timber-real-madrid/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ARSENAL FILES: HOW GUNNERS COULD LINE-UP AGAINST REAL MADRID&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  327.  
  328.  
  329.  
  330. &lt;p&gt;But they were told the Spaniard was keen to stay in LaLiga for at least another season. &lt;/p&gt;
  331.  
  332.  
  333.  
  334. &lt;p&gt;Williams has a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30055486/arsenal-weighing-up-transfer-nico-williams-release-clause/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;release clause of £48.4million&lt;/a&gt; and the outlet claims he is pushing for a move. &lt;/p&gt;

  359.

  362. &lt;p&gt;Berta has wasted no time in getting his feet under the table in North London.&lt;/p&gt;
  363.  
  364.  
  365.  
  366. &lt;p&gt;He has already &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34150669/arsenal-man-utd-gyokeres-berta-isak-sesko-ekitike/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;drawn up an exciting shortlist&lt;/a&gt; as he looks to provide Mikel Arteta with a true No9.&lt;/p&gt;
  367.  
  368.  
  369.  
  370. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal look set to finish second in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; for a third consecutive season.&lt;/p&gt;
  371.  
  372.  
  373.  
  374. &lt;p&gt;And their lack of depth in attacking areas has been laid bare by a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34202109/arsenal-gabriel-injury-fulham-real-madrid/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;crowded injury room&lt;/a&gt; this term.&lt;/p&gt;

  386. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  387. ARSENAL had a night of mixed fortunes as they beat Fulham 2-1 at the Emirates. &lt;/p&gt;
  389. &lt;div&gt;
  390. &lt;p&gt;Bukayo Saka not only returned but also scored after 101 days out.&lt;/p&gt;
  391. &lt;p&gt;But injuries to Gabriel and Jurrien Timber ahead of next week&amp;#8217;s visit of Real Madrid took the gloss off the win.&lt;/p&gt;
  392. &lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s How SunSport&amp;#8217;s Josh Hall rated Mikel Arteta&amp;#8217;s men on the night.&lt;/p&gt;
  393. &lt;p&gt;DAVID RAYA &amp;#8211; 7&lt;/p&gt;
  394. &lt;p&gt;Week by week Raya is staking a claim as one of the best goalkeepers in the league.&lt;/p&gt;
  395. &lt;p&gt;He doesn&amp;#8217;t have to face a barrage of shots as part of this Arsenal team, but rarely falters when he is called upon.&lt;/p&gt;
  396. &lt;p&gt;His distribution and preventative high claims are also among the best around.&lt;/p&gt;
  397. &lt;p&gt;There was little he could have done to stop Rodrigo Muniz&amp;#8217;s deflected goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  398. &lt;p&gt;JURRIEN TIMBER &amp;#8211; 6&lt;/p&gt;
  399. &lt;p&gt;It looked like the Dutchman&amp;#8217;s night was going to be cut short around the half an hour mark when he went down clutching his knee.&lt;/p&gt;
  400. &lt;p&gt;Fortunately, he was able to play on and even managed to test Bend Leno with a stinging effort in the second half.&lt;/p&gt;
  401. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately his earlier knock proved too much and he was taken off with a niggle in the 75th minute.&lt;/p&gt;
  402. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal could now be without at least two starting defenders for their clash with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1250296/real-madrid/&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  403. &lt;p&gt;GABRIEL &amp;#8211; N/A&lt;/p&gt;
  404. &lt;p&gt;Just when Arsenal fans thought they were creeping out of their injury crisis with the return of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bukayo-saka/&quot;&gt;Bukayo Saka&lt;/a&gt;, they lose another top star.&lt;/p&gt;
  405. &lt;p&gt;Gabriel hobbled off after just 15 minutes to be replaced by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jakub-kiwior/&quot;&gt;Jakub Kiwior&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  406. &lt;p&gt;Arteta &amp;#8211; and every Arsenal fan up and down the country &amp;#8211; will be hoping the wall at the back will be fighting fit for their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid next week.&lt;/p&gt;
  407. &lt;p&gt;WILLIAM SALIBA &amp;#8211; 6&lt;/p&gt;
  408. &lt;p&gt;Stepped up to the plate in Gabriel&amp;#8217;s absence and looked assured both on and off the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  409. &lt;p&gt;His frame did wonders to prevent Raul Jimenez from fashioning any chances in dangerous areas.&lt;/p&gt;
  410. &lt;p&gt;However, he wasn&amp;#8217;t able to do enough to stop Rodrigo Muniz from batting it against him to pull a late goal back for Fulham.&lt;/p&gt;
  411. &lt;p&gt;MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY &amp;#8211; 7&lt;/p&gt;
  412. &lt;p&gt;Every time you see Lewis-Skelly play you wonder how he&amp;#8217;s only 18 and not a seasoned pro with years of experience at the top.&lt;/p&gt;
  413. &lt;p&gt;He didn&amp;#8217;t set the world alight against the Cottagers, but looked just as assured and comfortable as he always does &amp;#8211; this time without Gabriel by his side.&lt;/p&gt;
  414. &lt;p&gt;While he also made an important bloke to prevent Muniz after Fulham had pulled back a late goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  415. &lt;p&gt;Mikel Arteta has splashed the cash to have a plethora of options at left-back, yet it seems like the Hale End academy graduate is now the number one choice for that position.&lt;/p&gt;
  416. &lt;p&gt;THOMAS PARTEY &amp;#8211; 7&lt;/p&gt;
  417. &lt;p&gt;Almost gifted Fulham a golden opportunity with a loose header in the first half, but saw &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-raya/&quot;&gt;David Raya&lt;/a&gt; pop up to save the day.&lt;/p&gt;
  418. &lt;p&gt;Despite a few loose touches he did enough to keep the ball moving in central areas.&lt;/p&gt;
  419. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s become an important starter for Arsenal this season, yet still seems to be on his way out in the summer on the expiration of his deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  420. &lt;p&gt;DECLAN RICE &amp;#8211; 6&lt;/p&gt;
  421. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s not a glamorous footballer, but he&amp;#8217;s always going to give 100 per cent no matter what.&lt;/p&gt;
  422. &lt;p&gt;Certainly not his worst game in an Arsenal shirt, but by no means his best.&lt;/p&gt;
  423. &lt;p&gt;MARTIN ODEGAARD &amp;#8211; 5&lt;/p&gt;
  424. &lt;p&gt;Another frustrating night for the Arsenal captain who seems to have been unable to find the keys to unlock the low block his side faces each week.&lt;/p&gt;
  425. &lt;p&gt;The Norwegian is certainly one of the best talents in the league, but has only shown it in glimpses this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  426. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal as a whole looked a bit laboured and lacklustre at times, often that&amp;#8217;s a result of the way Odegaard is playing. When he ticks, the whole team does too.&lt;/p&gt;
  427. &lt;p&gt;GABRIEL MARTINELLI &amp;#8211; 9&lt;/p&gt;
  428. &lt;p&gt;Regularly made &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/timothy-castagne/&quot;&gt;Timothy Castagne&lt;/a&gt; look silly throughout the match and get into dangerous positions by the byline.&lt;/p&gt;
  429. &lt;p&gt;But despite fashioning plenty of opportunities, the Brazilian was &amp;#8211; as per usual &amp;#8211; struggling with his end product in the first half.&lt;/p&gt;
  430. &lt;p&gt;It almost seemed as if every shot or final pass was rushed or snatched at for the opening 45 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  431. &lt;p&gt;That changed in the second half when his delightful flick perfectly teed up Bukayo Saka for a dream return to action.&lt;/p&gt;
  432. &lt;p&gt;Finally looked like he had the goal to top off a spectacular performance in the dying moments, but was deemed to be marginally offside when his effort found the back of the net.&lt;/p&gt;
  433. &lt;p&gt;ETHAN NWANERI &amp;#8211; 7&lt;/p&gt;
  434. &lt;p&gt;Bright spark in the opening exchanges and volleyed one right down the throat of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bernd-leno/&quot;&gt;Bernd Leno&lt;/a&gt; in the 21st minute as he looked the most likely to find the back of the net at first.&lt;/p&gt;
  435. &lt;p&gt;Instead it was his cutback that helped open the scoring when he placed it on to the boot of Mikel Merino to poke home the first goal of the night.&lt;/p&gt;
  436. &lt;p&gt;Replaced by Saka in the second half in perhaps a foreshadowing of what might happen to his role in the squad for the remainder of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  437. &lt;p&gt;MIKEL MERINO &amp;#8211; 8&lt;/p&gt;
  438. &lt;p&gt;Merino has stepped up the role of of make-shift striker with the sort of professionalism you would want from any player in your team.&lt;/p&gt;
  439. &lt;p&gt;He might not make darting runs behind the back four, or curl delightful efforts round the keeper, but he&amp;#8217;s certainly got a knack for goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  440. &lt;p&gt;His punt towards goal took a healthy deflection off Jorge Cuenca to send it into the corner, but he won&amp;#8217;t care &amp;#8211; now netting an impressive five goals in eight games as a centre-forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  441. &lt;p&gt;He almost made that six when he rifled another effort goalward from a corner in the 60th minute.&lt;/p&gt;
  442. &lt;p&gt;SUBS: &lt;/p&gt;
  443. &lt;p&gt;JAKUB KIWIOR &amp;#8211; 4 (ON FOR GARBRIEL 15mins)&lt;/p&gt;
  444. &lt;p&gt;Always a tough task to replace one of the best defenders in the league, but didn&amp;#8217;t do enough to impress at all.&lt;/p&gt;
  445. &lt;p&gt;Sloppily gave the ball away to gift a golden opportunity to Adama Traore in the second half, but was lucky to see the shot blazed wide.&lt;/p&gt;
  446. &lt;p&gt;He was partly to blame for leaving Rodrigo Muniz wide open for his wayward header on the 80th minute mark &amp;#8211; once again saved by sloppy finishing.&lt;/p&gt;
  447. &lt;p&gt;With each game that passes it seems to be more obvious that the Polish international just isn&amp;#8217;t at the required level.&lt;/p&gt;
  448. &lt;p&gt;BUKAYO SAKA &amp;#8211; 8 (ON FOR NWANERI 66mins)&lt;/p&gt;
  449. &lt;p&gt;The Emirates erupted in its loudest cheer of the night when Saka made his return to action after 21 games and 101 days on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.&lt;/p&gt;
  450. &lt;p&gt;That was until he nodded home the Gunners&amp;#8217; second just six minutes after crossing the line and an even louder roar bellowed around N5.&lt;/p&gt;
  451. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal have missed him dearly, and a return right before perhaps the biggest European game in the Emirates era could be crucial for Mikel Arteta&amp;#8217;s side.&lt;/p&gt;
  452. &lt;p&gt;LEANDRO TROSSARD &amp;#8211; 5 (ON FOR TIMBER 77mins)&lt;/p&gt;
  453. &lt;p&gt;Had very little impact on the match coming on so late, but did nick the ball off the foot of captain Odegaard who was lining up a thunderous effort.&lt;/p&gt;
  454. &lt;/div&gt;
  455. &lt;/div&gt;
  456. &lt;/div&gt;
  458.  
  459.  
  460.  
  461. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;SunSport revealed last week that Arsenal are&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34083472/arsenal-hugo-ekitike-transfer-isak-arteta/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;eyeing up Eintracht Frankfurt hitman Hugo Ekitike&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;as an alternative to £150m-rated Newcastle star Alexander Isak.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  462.  
  463.  
  464.  
  465. &lt;p&gt;Isak &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33447677/alexander-isak-arsenal-newcastle-record-fee-transfer-bid/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;looks set to stay in the North East&lt;/a&gt; with Newcastle unlikely to sell their prized asset.&lt;/p&gt;
  466.  
  467.  
  468.  
  469. &lt;p&gt;While Berta has also put Sporting Lisbon goal machine &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/viktor-gyokeres/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Viktor Gyokeres&lt;/a&gt; on his wishlist.&lt;/p&gt;
  470.  
  471.  
  472.  
  473. &lt;p&gt;The former Coventry forward is one of Europe&amp;#8217;s most in-demand players after netting 42 goals in his last 42 games. &lt;/p&gt;
  474.  
  475.  
  476.  
  477. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TOB-SOCIAL-Andrea-Bertas-best-and-worst-signings-1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TOB-SOCIAL-Andrea-Bertas-best-and-worst-signings-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;Illustration of Andrea Berta's best and worst football signings, listing players and transfer fees.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34145791&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  478.  
  479.  
  480.  
  481. &lt;p&gt;Arteta appeared upbeat as he discussed the upcoming transfer window ahead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34134757/arsenal-vs-fulham-live-score-result-premier-league-updates-gabriel-injury/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tuesday&amp;#8217;s 2-1 win over Fulham&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  482.  
  483.  
  484.  
  485. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s going to be a big one and we are very excited about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  486.  
  487.  
  488.  
  489. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you are going to go again, we want to increase the depth of the squad and the quality and the skills that we need to go to the next step.&lt;/p&gt;
  490.  
  491.  
  492.  
  493. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Every summer is big because it is an opportunity and especially because of the number of players we have in the squad right now, that is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
  494.  
  495.  
  496.  
  497. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But it&amp;#8217;s a big summer for many things because first of all we have to maintain the good foundations that we have and then obviously how can we improve and evolve the team.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  520. &lt;p&gt;A TEENAGER took his own life after falsely thinking he&amp;#8217;d failed his maths GCSE.&lt;/p&gt;
  521.  
  522.  
  523.  
  524. &lt;p&gt;The day after Alex Henshaw, 17, died his parents received an email saying his paper had been remarked and he had actually passed.&lt;/p&gt;
  525.  
  526.

  539.  
  540. &lt;p&gt;Mum Lisa &lt;span id=&quot;4064cc3c-8fd6-4a0d-bdfa-8693e7f315f0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Hamilton&lt;/span&gt;, from Winchester, said in a statement: “He had been very distressed, he had just failed a GCSE maths paper. &lt;/p&gt;
  541.  
  542.  
  543.  
  544. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The re-mark came back as a pass, I got an email the &lt;span id=&quot;3394ff91-f594-4204-a170-2d497012bb42&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; day.”&lt;/p&gt;
  545.  
  546.  
  547.  
  548. &lt;p&gt;Alex, who had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/adhd/&quot;&gt;ADHD&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/autism/&quot;&gt;autism&lt;/a&gt;, was studying a Btec in game design at Basingstoke College of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/technology/&quot;&gt;Technology&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  549.  
  550.  
  551.  
  552. &lt;p&gt;He was said to be doing so well on the course, his tutor believed he must have been cheating.&lt;/p&gt;
  553.  
  554.  
  555.  
  556. &lt;p&gt;Winchester Coroner&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; heard Lisa called the fire brigade on September 10 last year the morning as she couldn&amp;#8217;t unlock Alex&amp;#8217;s bedroom door, reports &lt;a aria-label=&quot;The Times (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thetimes.com/uk/society/article/teenage-gamer-suicide-maths-gcse-inquest-pb65v0ml0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Times&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  557.  
  558.  
  559.  
  560. &lt;p&gt;His body was found inside.&lt;/p&gt;
  561.  
  562.  
  563.  
  564. &lt;p&gt;The inquest was also told, on top of the exam Alex was worried about a presentation he had to do in front of his class.&lt;/p&gt;
  565.  
  566.  
  567.  
  568. &lt;p&gt;The teenager, however, did not leave any kind of suicide note and coroner Rosamund Rhodes-Kemp said she &amp;#8220;could not explain&amp;#8221; what she described as an &amp;#8220;impulsive act&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  569.  
  570.  
  571.  
  572. &lt;p&gt;She recorded a conclusion of suicide, adding his family could have done nothing to &amp;#8220;prevent or predict&amp;#8221; his death.&lt;/p&gt;
  573.  
  574.  
  575.  
  576. &lt;p&gt;The coroner continued: “Alex had enormous challenges, he had a number of conditions both physical and of a neurological nature. &lt;/p&gt;
  577.  
  578.  
  579.  
  580. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;These would have affected not just his physical &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; but his ability to make friends. &lt;/p&gt;
  581.  
  582.  
  583.  
  584. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is a credit to him that he managed in a society that is not always as sympathetic as it could be.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  585.  
  586.  
  587.  
  588. &lt;p&gt;Mum-of-three Lisa described her son as &amp;#8220;happy&amp;#8221; and said he had plans to travel to &lt;span id=&quot;f71871f6-19df-4b66-9e44-20743384d794&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/span&gt; and was due to undertake work experience at a game design company.&lt;/p&gt;
  589.  
  590.  
  591.  
  592. &lt;p&gt;She criticised the &amp;#8220;underfunding&amp;#8221; of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; and referred to the difficulty of getting specialist treatment for her children, who all have autism.&lt;/p&gt;
  593.  
  594.  
  595.

  607. EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide &lt;/p&gt;
  609. &lt;div&gt;
  610. &lt;p&gt;It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.&lt;/p&gt;
  611. &lt;p&gt;It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.&lt;/p&gt;
  612. &lt;p&gt;And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.&lt;/p&gt;
  613. &lt;p&gt;Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.&lt;/p&gt;
  614. &lt;p&gt;That is why&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youre-not-alone/&quot;&gt;The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  615. &lt;p&gt;The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.&lt;/p&gt;
  616. &lt;p&gt;Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others…&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7194521/the-sun-suicide-prevention-campaign-launch/&quot;&gt;You’re Not Alone.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  640. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A BIG supermarket chain with 300 stores to close another site in days. &lt;/p&gt;
  641.  
  642.  
  643.  
  644. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/farmfoods/&quot;&gt;Farmfoods&lt;/a&gt; is closing down its branch in Dundee, on April 6, giving shoppers little time to bid their farewells. &lt;/p&gt;
  645.  
  646.  
  647.  
  648. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_30775471&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2h3bxcg-farmfoods-frozen-food-supermarket-734449509.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;the front of a farmfoods store with a sign that says great food amazing prices&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-30775471&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Framfoods is closing down its branch in Dundee[/caption]
  649.  
  650.  
  651.  
  652. &lt;p&gt;The move has come as a blow to locals, who have described it as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33828288/supermarket-with-350-branches-to-shut-doors-forever/&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;end of an era&amp;#8221;.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  653.  
  654.  
  655.  
  656. &lt;p&gt;Another devastated shopper said: &amp;#8220;Sad a shop I have used for years. I hope the staff will be looked after as they will help anyone who needs it good crowd.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  657.  
  658.  
  659.  
  660. &lt;p&gt;While a third said: &amp;#8220;Who can tell me what&amp;#8217;s going on at Dundee most of the shops are gone?.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  661.  
  662.  
  663.  
  664. &lt;p&gt;And a fourth added: &amp;#8220;Really going to miss Farmfoods.. why?.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  665.  
  666.  
  667.  
  668. &lt;p&gt;The group has launched a major &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=closing+down+sale+&quot;&gt;closing down sale &lt;/a&gt;to help shift stock ahead of its departure in just four days time.&lt;/p&gt;
  669.  
  670.  
  671.  
  672. &lt;p&gt;This follows FarmFoods announcing the closure of another one of its city centre stores in&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=+Cowgate&quot;&gt; Cowgate&lt;/a&gt; in March 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  673.  
  674.  
  675.  
  676. &lt;p&gt;It will mean there is just one FarmFoods store left in Dundee, which would be the Lochee branch.&lt;/p&gt;
  677.

  680. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=Farmfoods&quot;&gt;Farmfoods&lt;/a&gt; previously told The Sun: “Our Macalpine Road shop will permanently close on Sunday April 6 after a clearance sale.&lt;/p&gt;
  681.  
  682.  
  683.  
  684. &lt;p&gt;“We are grateful to all our customers who have shopped with us at the property during our many years of trade.&lt;/p&gt;
  685.  
  686.  
  687.  
  688. &lt;p&gt;“Our existing shop nearby at Lochee is unaffected.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  712. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not the first time in recent weeks that Farmfoods has decided to close of its branches. &lt;/p&gt;
  713.  
  714.  
  715.  
  716. &lt;p&gt;The brand &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32715864/bargain-supermarket-farmfoods-close-shop/&quot;&gt;called time &lt;/a&gt;on its site in the Calthorpe Center in Banbury  on February 2.&lt;/p&gt;
  717.  
  718.  
  719.  
  720. &lt;p&gt;This came days before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33217381/bargain-supermarket-closure-days/&quot;&gt;it closed its &lt;span&gt;branch &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;in Greyhound&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;Retail&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Park, in Greyhound Way,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/southend/&quot;&gt;Southend.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  725.  
  726.  
  727.  
  728. &lt;p&gt;The chain&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30893290/bargain-supermarket-with-over-300-branches-closes-store/&quot;&gt;closed its Sutton branch&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in South&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on October 5.&lt;/p&gt;

  733.  
  734.  
  735.  
  736. &lt;p&gt;Farmfoods is not the only supermarket trimming back its estate. &lt;/p&gt;
  737.  
  738.  
  739.  
  740. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34044568/morrisons-hikes-menu-prices-in-cafes/&quot;&gt;Morrisons &lt;/a&gt;said it would close 17 convenience stores as part of a big shake up of its estate.&lt;/p&gt;
  741.  
  742.  
  743.  
  744. &lt;p&gt;Last month, the grocer said would be shutting 52 in-store cafes, 35 fish counters, 35 meat counters, 13 florists, 17 convenience stores and all of its 18 Market Kitchens, which sell hot food including pizzas and rotisserie chicken in-store.&lt;/p&gt;
  745.  
  746.  
  747.  
  748. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, Swynford Stores in Huntingdon,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cambridgeshire/&quot;&gt;Cambridgeshire&lt;/a&gt;, permanently closed on March 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  749.  
  750.  
  751.  
  752. &lt;p&gt;The shop, opposite the RAF Alconbury base, will sadly shut its doors due to the &amp;#8220;opening of the Co-Op,&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;prices of stock skyrocketing&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;

  763. The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury&amp;#039;s hike to employer NICs will cost the retail sector £2.3billion. &lt;/p&gt;
  765. &lt;div&gt;
  766. &lt;p&gt;Research by the British Chambers of Commerce shows that more than half of companies plan to raise prices by early April.&lt;/p&gt;
  767. &lt;p&gt;A survey of more than 4,800 firms found that 55% expect prices to increase in the next three months, up from 39% in a similar poll conducted in the latter half of 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  768. &lt;p&gt;Three-quarters of companies cited the cost of employing people as their primary financial pressure.&lt;/p&gt;
  769. &lt;p&gt;The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has also warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  770. &lt;p&gt;It comes on the back of a tough 2024 when 13,000 shops closed their doors for good, already a 28% increase on the previous year.&lt;/p&gt;
  771. &lt;p&gt;Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the CRR said: &amp;#8220;The results for 2024 show that although the outcomes for store closures overall were not as poor as in either 2020 or 2022, they are still disconcerting, with worse set to come in 2025.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  772. &lt;p&gt;Professor Bamfield has also warned of a bleak outlook for 2025, predicting that as many as 202,000 jobs could be lost in the sector.&lt;/p&gt;
  773. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;By increasing both the costs of running stores and the costs on each consumer&amp;#8217;s household it is highly likely that we will see retail job losses eclipse the height of the pandemic in 2020.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  774. &lt;/div&gt;

  792. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MICK MCCARTHY has revealed that former France boss Raymond Domenech once had a pop at him due to their language barrier.&lt;/p&gt;
  793.  
  794.  
  795.  
  796. &lt;p&gt;The ex-Prem boss, 66, spent the 1989-90 season with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1504303/lyon/&quot;&gt;Lyon&lt;/a&gt; during his playing career.&lt;/p&gt;
  797.  
  798.  
  799.  
  800. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34227337&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/blackpools-manager-mick-mccarthy-sky-796714322.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Mick McCarthy, Blackpool's manager.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34227337&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;679&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Mick McCarthy has recounted his playing career[/caption]
  801.  
  802.  
  803.  
  804. &lt;p&gt;During that campaign he played under Domenech.&lt;/p&gt;
  805.  
  806.  
  807.  
  808. &lt;p&gt;Having spent his career prior to then in England and Scotland, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/who/mick-mccarthy/&quot;&gt;McCarthy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s French wasn&amp;#8217;t exactly fluent.&lt;/p&gt;
  809.  
  810.  
  811.  
  812. &lt;p&gt;And this led to an issue with his goalkeeper, Francois Lemasson.&lt;/p&gt;
  813.  
  814.  
  815.  
  816. &lt;p&gt;Recounting the incident, McCarthy said on the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyeZvgLTmwr5YEP92_n4l4I1BXd2cAhao&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;EFL Unfiltered&lt;/a&gt; podcast: &amp;#8220;For anyone who speaks French, I’m sorry if this isn’t right.&lt;/p&gt;
  817.  
  818.  
  819.  
  820. &lt;p&gt;“We’re playing and (the goalkeeper) shouts ‘Degagez vous’ and I think he’s coming for the ball. He doesn’t come for the ball and the guy I’m stood with heads it in the net.&lt;/p&gt;
  821.  
  822.  
  823.  
  824. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So after the game, Raymond Domenech asks me ‘What happened?’. Everyone else is standing around talking French, probably saying it was my fault.&lt;/p&gt;
  825.  
  826.  
  827.  
  828. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The keeper comes up to me and says ‘J&amp;#8217;ai dit’ &amp;#8211; which is ‘I said’ – ‘J’ai dit degagez vous’ he says, and I said, ‘I don’t know what f***ing degagez vous means. You f***ing clown.&lt;/p&gt;
  829.  
  830.  
  831.  
  832. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Apparently it means ‘clear it’ – I was going to clear it, he didn’t have to tell me to clear it.&lt;/p&gt;
  833.

  841.  
  842.  
  843.  
  844. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So anyway, that was my fault.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  845.  
  846.  
  847.  
  848. &lt;p&gt;McCarthy also revealed that Domenech decided to sign him after watching him get sent off.&lt;/p&gt;

  872. &lt;p&gt;The Yorkshireman said: &amp;#8220;We (Republic of Ireland) had a great tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
  873.  
  874.  
  875.  
  876. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We beat &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt;, we drew with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196707/russia/&quot;&gt;Russia&lt;/a&gt; and we lose to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1652041/holland/&quot;&gt;Holland&lt;/a&gt; to that deflected goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  877.  
  878.  
  879.  
  880. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They (Lyon) had seen me play (for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ireland/&quot;&gt;Ireland&lt;/a&gt; at Euro 1988). Raymond Domenech comes to watch me then playing for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1250089/celtic/&quot;&gt;Celtic&lt;/a&gt;, playing against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/2734099/hearts/&quot;&gt;Hearts&lt;/a&gt;. It was one of the games I got sent off.&lt;/p&gt;
  881.  
  882.  
  883.  
  884. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was one of those ones, it was a bad tackle and I came in for the melee.&lt;/p&gt;
  885.  
  886.  
  887.  
  888. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Raymond Domenech loved it. I didn’t know he’d come to watch me then, but he came to watch me in the (1988-89) Cup Final and he told me… he loved my passion, and he’d seen me play for Ireland.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  889.  
  890.  
  891.  
  892. &lt;p&gt;McCarthy played just 10 games for Lyon before returning to British &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; in 1990.&lt;/p&gt;
  893.  
  894.  
  895.  
  896. &lt;p&gt;Following an initial loan spell, the Ireland international signed permanently for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1851305/millwall/&quot;&gt;Millwall&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  897.  
  898.  
  899.  
  900. &lt;p&gt;Two years later he launched his managerial career with the Lions, going on to spend the next 30 years in the dugout with the likes of Wolves, Ipswich and the Republic of Ireland.&lt;/p&gt;

  950. &lt;p&gt;In a new, fun brainteaser, shared b&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;y prescription glasses retailer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.feelgoodcontacts.com/glasses__;!!F0Stn7g!HMQRSgTgnGxlel6kXBf9MRDreh-vdLPbVLHRVBbt4UnP_001rL84AlPl6hf6g9mS07g-OWywj4EJE2QN8UJtvp-7WHdM$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Feel Good Contacts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, readers are asked to spot different animals hidden within the branches of a tree.&lt;/p&gt;
  951.  
  952.  
  953.  
  954. &lt;p&gt;At first glance, you may be able to spot just one or two animals, but look closer and more and more will become visible. &lt;/p&gt;
  955.  
  956.  
  957.  
  958. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;1aece263-a0af-4161-9ff1-92a519984ea8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;The challenge&lt;/span&gt; encourages readers to look deeper and engage your brain in new ways. &lt;/p&gt;
  959.  
  960.  
  961.  
  962. &lt;p&gt;However, for the illusion to work properly, you must take note of the very first animal you spot. &lt;/p&gt;
  963.  
  964.  
  965.  
  966. &lt;p&gt;The animal that appears most easily to you says a lot about your personality.&lt;/p&gt;
  967.  
  968.  
  969.  
  970. &lt;p&gt;Here is what each animal reveals about your character:&lt;/p&gt;
  971.  
  972.  
  973.  
  974. &lt;p&gt;Lion: You are proud, courageous and have a strong sense of leadership.&lt;/p&gt;
  975.  
  976.  
  977.  
  978. &lt;p&gt;Elephant: You are loyal, determined and confident.&lt;/p&gt;

  1063. &lt;p&gt;THE bus driver involved in a crash which allegedly left Virginia Giuffre with four days to live has spoken out on the ordeal. &lt;/p&gt;
  1064.  
  1065.  
  1066.  
  1067. &lt;p&gt;Virginia, &lt;span&gt;who was sex trafficked by&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jeffrey-epstein/&quot;&gt;Jeffrey Epstein&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and accused&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-andrew/&quot;&gt;Prince Andrew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of sexually abusing her when she was 17, recently shared a picture&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34165242/prince-andrew-accuser-virginia-giuffre-car-crash/&quot;&gt;of herself in hospital after the crash&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  1068.  
  1069.  
  1070.  
  1071. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34234105&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/spvirginiarobertsrising11_1743339125_3599711943579679726_30729385996_copyjpg-JS983841304.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;Woman in hospital bed with bruises from a bus accident.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34234105&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Virginia Giuffre, 41, shared a worrying photo of herself from her hospital bed covered in bruises she had apparently sustained from a speeding bus crash.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  1072.  
  1073.  
  1074.  
  1075. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34234102&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/bus.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Man holding a baby.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34234102&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;942&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Bus driver Ross Munns says he had 29 children on board when the crash happened in Perth, Australia, last Monday&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  1076.  
  1077.  
  1078.  
  1079. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/tp-graphic-map-viginia-giuffre-bus-crash-0204.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Illustration of Virginia Giuffre bus crash site in Neergabby, Australia.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34234158&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;
  1080.  
  1081.  
  1082.  
  1083. &lt;p&gt;The shocking photo showed her lying in bed covered in bruises, with Virginia begging to see her children &amp;#8220;one last time&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1084.  
  1085.  
  1086.  
  1087. &lt;p&gt;She also said she was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34219084/unanswered-questions-virginia-giuffre-crash/&quot;&gt;suffering from kidney failure&lt;/a&gt;, and was being transferred to a specialist unit.&lt;/p&gt;
  1088.  
  1089.  
  1090.  
  1091. &lt;p&gt;The mum wrote on Instagram: &amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.&lt;/p&gt;
  1092.  
  1093.  
  1094.  
  1095. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think it&amp;#8217;s important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;110kmh as we were slowing down for a turn, that no matter what your car is made of, it might as well be a tin can.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1096.  
  1097.  
  1098.  
  1099. &lt;p&gt;But bus driver Ross Munns said he was shocked to see the post &amp;#8211; insisting the crash, which happened in Perth, Western Australia last week, has been &amp;#8220;blown out of proportion&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  1100.  
  1101.  
  1102.  
  1103. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Daily Mail (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14563827/Bus-driver-crash-Virginia-Giuffre-four-days-live-story.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Daily Mail Australia&lt;/a&gt;, Mr Munns said he had been following a slow-moving Toyota Highlander for 3km &amp;#8211; and tried to overtake it when it slowed to 75kmh.  &lt;/p&gt;
  1104.  
  1105.  
  1106.  
  1107. &lt;p&gt;The granddad, who has been a bus driver for 16 years, said he had 29 children on board at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  1108.  
  1109.  
  1110.  
  1111. &lt;p&gt;He claims he beeped his horn but he was unable to avoid clipping the Toyota. &lt;/p&gt;
  1112.  
  1113.  
  1114.  
  1115. &lt;p&gt;He described the crash as a &amp;#8220;minor collision&amp;#8221; and after pulling over to check the other driver was ok, he was satisfied no-one was badly hurt. &lt;/p&gt;
  1116.  
  1117.  
  1118.  
  1119. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s just all blown out of proportion and I know what happened,&amp;#8221; he told the Mail. &lt;/p&gt;
  1120.  
  1121.  
  1122.  
  1123. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I didn&amp;#8217;t even see her in the car.&lt;/p&gt;
  1124.  
  1125.  
  1126.  
  1127. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The driver basically pulled out in front of me. I made sure she was alright, and I went and did a police report.&lt;/p&gt;
  1128.  
  1129.  
  1130.  
  1131. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She was elderly and I asked if she was ok, and she said, &amp;#8216;Yes I&amp;#8217;m ok&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1132.  
  1133.  
  1134.  
  1135. &lt;p&gt;Mr Munns said the driver was a 71-year-old woman and he was later told another 41-year-old was a passenger in the car. &lt;/p&gt;
  1136.  
  1137.  
  1138.  
  1139. &lt;p&gt;He claims the elderly woman told him she was fine and that it &amp;#8220;wasn&amp;#8217;t a major crash&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  1140.  
  1141.  
  1142.  
  1143. &lt;p&gt;Police confirmed the crash was logged as a minor traffic crash incident report, revealing no injuries were reported.&lt;/p&gt;
  1144.  
  1145.  
  1146.  
  1147. &lt;p&gt;No charges were brought against either driver.&lt;/p&gt;
  1148.  
  1149.  
  1150.  
  1151. &lt;p&gt;Damage to the vehicle Giuffre was travelling in is believed to be around $2000.&lt;/p&gt;
  1152.  
  1153.  
  1154.  
  1155. &lt;p&gt;A 41-year-old woman — confirmed by cops as the passenger in the car — was involved in the crash, which happened just after 3pm on March 24.&lt;/p&gt;
  1156.  
  1157.  
  1158.  
  1159. &lt;p&gt;Virginia&amp;#8217;s PR, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34199395/giuffre-health-update-family-statement-crash/&quot;&gt;Dini von Mueffling, said this week&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  1160.  
  1161.  
  1162.  
  1163. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1164.  
  1165.  
  1166.  
  1167. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34176863/virginia-giuffre-lawyer-bus-crash-andrew-epstein/&quot;&gt;Virginia&amp;#8217;s former lawyer&lt;/a&gt;, Brad Edwards, who represented the mum in her previous legal cases, said that they were &amp;#8220;hoping for better news in the coming days&amp;#8221; and that he hoped she would pull through with good medical care.&lt;/p&gt;
  1168.  
  1169.  
  1170.  
  1171. &lt;p&gt;Virginia sued Prince Andrew in 2021, claiming she was trafficked and forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions when she was a teen.&lt;/p&gt;
  1172.  
  1173.  
  1174.  
  1175. &lt;p&gt;The royal has always denied the allegations but settled out of court in 2022, reportedly paying millions to avoid a humiliating trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  1176.  
  1177.  
  1178.  
  1179. &lt;p&gt;The Sun has reached out to Virginia Giuffre&amp;#8217;s representative for comment. &lt;/p&gt;

  1195. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  1196. VIRGINIA Roberts - now Virginia Giuffre, 41, is an American-Australian campaigner and a prominent victim of the sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein. &lt;/p&gt;
  1198. &lt;div&gt;
  1199. &lt;p&gt;She has made claims against&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9695603/prince-andrew-allegations/&quot;&gt;Prince Andrew&lt;/a&gt;, the Duke of York, as well as Brit socialite&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ghislaine-maxwell/&quot;&gt;Ghislaine Maxwell&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-lover.&lt;/p&gt;
  1200. &lt;p&gt;Giuffre alleged in court documents that she was procured by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17330722/ghislaine-maxwell-sentenced-guilty-jeffrey-epstein/&quot;&gt;Maxwell&lt;/a&gt;, 63, the daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell, as a teenage “sex slave” for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9462788/jeffrey-epstein-dead-suicide-sex-trafficking-prison/&quot;&gt;Epstein&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1201. &lt;p&gt;She released a manuscript just hours before Epstein&amp;#8217;s death, which added to more than 2,000 documents of a lawsuit pending against the former financier and his pals.&lt;/p&gt;
  1202. &lt;p&gt;The legal documents were released in a defamation case involving Giuffre, who has claimed in court documents that Prince Andrew slept with her three times.&lt;/p&gt;
  1203. &lt;p&gt;In 2019, Virginia Roberts has&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9966496/virginia-roberts-jeffrey-epstein-sex-slave-prince-andrew-vodka/&quot;&gt;claimed that she had sex with Prince Andrew&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in a toilet when she was 17, after a night where he had allegedly been plying her with vodka in a posh London club.&lt;/p&gt;
  1204. &lt;p&gt;On February 15, 2022, it was announced that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17660132/andrew-settlement-virginia-giuffre-sex-accuser/&quot;&gt;Prince Andrew settled the lawsuit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; sparing him a humiliating court battle.&lt;/p&gt;

  1223.  
  1224.  
  1225.  
  1226.  
  1227.  
  1228.  
  1229.  
  1230.  
  1231.  
  1232. &lt;p&gt;A TINY mistake on your usual 20p coin could make it a whopping 350 times more valuable. &lt;/p&gt;
  1233.  
  1234.  
  1235.  
  1236. &lt;p&gt;You will need to look out for one small detail if you want to mint some extra cash. &lt;/p&gt;
  1237.  
  1238.  
  1239.  
  1240. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34226520&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/NINTCHDBPICT000751356230.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Obverse of a 20 pence coin featuring Queen Elizabeth II.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34226520&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;930&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;20p twenty pence obverse heads over 2012 coin[/caption]
  1241.  
  1242.  
  1243.  
  1244. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34226464&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 623px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/NINTCHDBPICT000984257155.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=613&quot; alt=&quot;Both sides of a twenty pence coin.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34226464&quot; width=&quot;613&quot; height=&quot;611&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;RWB Auctions&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The 20p coin that sold for a whopping £70[/caption]
  1245.  
  1246.  
  1247.  
  1248. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rare-coins-valuable-notes/&quot;&gt;Coins&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;become more valuable if they have a low mintage, meaning not many of them have been created.&lt;/p&gt;
  1249.  
  1250.  
  1251.  
  1252. &lt;p&gt;That means they&amp;#8217;ll be harder to find &amp;#8211; but they can earn you more &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; if you do spot one.&lt;/p&gt;
  1253.  
  1254.  
  1255.  
  1256. &lt;p&gt;And not all coins need to be shiny and new to sell for a profit. &lt;/p&gt;
  1257.  
  1258.  
  1259.  
  1260. &lt;p&gt;They can also be worth more if they have an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33942797/uks-rarest-coin-worth-more-than-face-value/&quot;&gt;error in the design&lt;/a&gt;, such as if they&amp;#8217;re missing a small detail.&lt;/p&gt;
  1261.  
  1262.  
  1263.  
  1264. &lt;p&gt;Something similar happened to one lucky person who sold their regular-looking 20p coin for a whopping £70 at the RWB Auction&amp;#8217;s February 2025 sale. &lt;/p&gt;
  1265.  
  1266.  
  1267.  
  1268. &lt;p&gt;What makes the coin so unique and worth appraisal is that no one knows how old the coin is. &lt;/p&gt;
  1269.  
  1270.  
  1271.  
  1272. &lt;p&gt;That is because the coin had no date on it &amp;#8211; making it incredibly rare. &lt;/p&gt;
  1273.  
  1274.  
  1275.  
  1276. &lt;p&gt;Such mistakes can happen from time to time and go unnoticed, meaning there is a chance you may have a super rare coin hiding in the change &amp;#8211; all you need to do is look for mistakes. &lt;/p&gt;
  1277.  
  1278.  
  1279.  
  1280. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, one of the most &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34217716/rare-50p-coin-sells-more-240-times-face-value/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;popular types of coins to collect is are 50p piece&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1281.  
  1282.  
  1283.  
  1284. &lt;p&gt;This is because of their large surface area, as there is enough space to add new and intricate designs.&lt;/p&gt;
  1285.  
  1286.  
  1287.  
  1288. &lt;p&gt;A 2019 Kew Gardens 50p went under the hammer on eBay for a whopping £122.09 &amp;#8211; 244 times its face value.&lt;/p&gt;
  1289.  
  1290.  
  1291.  
  1292. &lt;p&gt;The coin, which attracted 13 bids, is one of the most sought-after pieces among coin collectors.&lt;/p&gt;
  1293.  
  1294.  
  1295.  
  1296. &lt;p&gt;The Royal Mint, the official maker of British&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rare-coins-valuable-notes/&quot;&gt;coins&lt;/a&gt;, regularly puts limited edition pieces into general circulation.&lt;/p&gt;
  1297.  
  1298.  
  1299.  
  1300. &lt;p&gt;In some cases, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/18232259/victoria-cross-medal-coin-worth/&quot;&gt;extremely rare 50p pieces&lt;/a&gt; have sold for a whopping £950.&lt;/p&gt;
  1301.  
  1302.  
  1303.  
  1304. &lt;p&gt;Errors make a coin unique, which means they will most likely be worth more, as there a fewer of them.&lt;/p&gt;
  1305.  
  1306.  
  1307.  
  1308. &lt;p&gt;Even without a misprint, if a coin has a low mintage, there are fewer of them in circulation and so are deemed rare.&lt;/p&gt;
  1309.  
  1310.  
  1311.  
  1312. &lt;p&gt;As a general rule of thumb, the rarer the coin, the more valuable they are to collectors.&lt;/p&gt;
  1313.  
  1314.  
  1315.  
  1316. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How to sell a rare coin&lt;/h2&gt;
  1317.  
  1318.  
  1319.  
  1320. &lt;p&gt;If you have managed to get your hands on a rare coin, there are a few ways you can go about selling it.&lt;/p&gt;
  1321.  
  1322.  
  1323.  
  1324. &lt;p&gt;Online platforms like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ebay/&quot;&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;marketplace, or trading&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/app/&quot;&gt;apps&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;can be easy to use &amp;#8211; but there are risks.&lt;/p&gt;
  1325.  
  1326.  
  1327.  
  1328. &lt;p&gt;Scammers may try and&amp;nbsp;target&amp;nbsp;sellers with this trick &amp;#8211; they&amp;#8217;ll say they are keen to purchase the item and ask for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/20256209/facebook-marketplace-scam-tnt-express/&quot;&gt;money upfront for a courier&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1329.  
  1330.  
  1331.  
  1332. &lt;p&gt;They have no plan on collecting the item and are only using the courier to grab free&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/&quot;&gt;cash&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1333.  
  1334.  
  1335.  
  1336. &lt;p&gt;When buying or selling on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/22018886/things-always-buy-facebook-marketplace-avoid/&quot;&gt;Facebook Marketplace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;it&amp;#8217;s advisable to meet up in person &amp;#8211; make sure this is a safe space and avoid payment links.&lt;/p&gt;
  1337.  
  1338.  
  1339.  
  1340. &lt;p&gt;Many sellers will choose to handle cash when meeting to limit the risk of scams.&lt;/p&gt;
  1341.  
  1342.  
  1343.  
  1344. &lt;p&gt;To ensure the ultimate safety you can sell rare coins at an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/topic/auctions/&quot;&gt;auction&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1345.  
  1346.  
  1347.  
  1348. &lt;p&gt;This can be done through The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/&quot;&gt;Royal&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Mint&amp;#8217;s Collectors Service which has a team of experts who can help you authenticate and value your coin.&lt;/p&gt;
  1349.  
  1350.  
  1351.  
  1352. &lt;p&gt;Finally, you can sell rare coins on eBay.&lt;/p&gt;

  1407.  
  1408.  
  1409.  
  1410.  
  1411.  
  1412.  
  1413.  
  1414.  
  1415.  
  1416. &lt;p&gt;BRITAIN&amp;#8217;S fourth largest car dealer has axed two brands after shutting another brand as the boss admitted &amp;#8220;it was not a simple job&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1417.  
  1418.  
  1419.  
  1420. &lt;p&gt;Vertu Motors revealed that, following an announcement six months ago, it has completed the rebrand of its Macklin and Bristol Street Motors dealerships across the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  1421.  
  1422.  
  1423.  
  1424. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34234070&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 810px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/business-stalls-huge-car-dealership-984000415.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=800&quot; alt=&quot;Vertu car dealership.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34234070&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;533&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Google&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Britain&amp;#8217;s fourth largest car dealer has axed two brands[/caption]
  1425.  
  1426.  
  1427.  
  1428. &lt;p&gt;Last year, Car Dealer reported that the group &amp;#8211; with over 190 dealerships across the UK &amp;#8211; decided to eliminate two of its sub-brands, and consequently operate its network under Vertu.&lt;/p&gt;
  1429.  
  1430.  
  1431.  
  1432. &lt;p&gt;Now it has been revealed by boss Robert Forrester that, six months after the initial announcement, the rebrand has been completed across all the country&amp;#8217;s sites.&lt;/p&gt;
  1433.  
  1434.  
  1435.  
  1436. &lt;p&gt;He said on X: &amp;#8220;Today we have rebranded to Vertu across all retail operations for the first time!&lt;/p&gt;
  1437.  
  1438.  
  1439.  
  1440. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Not a simple job and good luck to all involved.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1441.  
  1442.  
  1443.  
  1444. &lt;p&gt;This signals an end to the Bristol Street Motors name &amp;#8211; one that has been in the motor trade for over 100 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  1445.  
  1446.  
  1447.  
  1448. &lt;p&gt;Vertu had been using the Macklin Motors name since it first began to expand into Scotland in 2010.&lt;/p&gt;
  1449.  
  1450.  
  1451.  
  1452. &lt;p&gt;Despite the remaining sites undergoing a rebrand, the group also confirmed that its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34182917/huge-car-dealership-closing-bmw/&quot;&gt;BMW Mini Barnstaple&lt;/a&gt; dealership closed its doors for good.&lt;/p&gt;
  1453.  
  1454.  
  1455.  
  1456. &lt;p&gt;Existing clients received the decision, informing them that the official last working day would be on March 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  1457.  
  1458.  
  1459.  
  1460. &lt;p&gt;The email was sent from Anthony Masterson, Group Operations Director, who recommended the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/exeter/&quot;&gt;Exeter&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;branch as the closest alternative.&lt;/p&gt;
  1461.  
  1462.  
  1463.  
  1464. &lt;p&gt;His full statement read: &amp;#8220;To ensure we continue to provide you with the same first-class service, we are transferring your details to your closest Vertu &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot;&gt;BMW dealership&lt;/a&gt; within our group, Vertu BMW Exeter.&lt;/p&gt;

  1567. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;HOUSEHOLDS will be left £400 worse off this year as Rachel Reeves’ tax blitz piles pressure on family finances, economists have warned.&lt;/p&gt;
  1568.  
  1569.  
  1570.  
  1571. &lt;p&gt;The Resolution Foundation think tank today said a triple hit of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34146535/bills-set-to-rise-this-week-awful-april-starts/&quot;&gt;tax hikes&lt;/a&gt;, soaring utility bills and benefit squeezes will create a “historically bleak” outlook for living standards.&lt;/p&gt;
  1572.  
  1573.  
  1574.  
  1575. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233597&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 675px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/chancellor-exchequer-rachel-reeves-holds-982636594.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=665&quot; alt=&quot;Headshot of Rachel Reeves.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233597&quot; width=&quot;665&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Households will be left £400 worse off this year as Rachel Reeves’ tax blitz piles pressure on family finances, economists have warned[/caption]
  1576.  
  1577.  
  1578.  
  1579. &lt;p&gt;A prolonged freeze on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/18039277/income-tax-personal-allowance-affect-wages/&quot;&gt;personal tax thresholds&lt;/a&gt; will push more earners into higher tax bands, while the employer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-insurance/&quot;&gt;National Insurance&lt;/a&gt; hike is expected to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34209136/labour-national-insurance-hike-wages-store-closures-pensions/&quot;&gt;stifle wage growth&lt;/a&gt;, hitting take-home pay.&lt;/p&gt;
  1580.  
  1581.  
  1582.  
  1583. &lt;p&gt;The Resolution Foundation found that these tax policies alone will drain £170 a year from the average household’s income.&lt;/p&gt;
  1584.  
  1585.  
  1586.  
  1587. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, rising &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34173610/brits-councils-wasting-money/&quot;&gt;council tax&lt;/a&gt; and utility bills will see the typical household shell out an extra £80 annually in England.&lt;/p&gt;
  1588.  
  1589.  
  1590.  
  1591. &lt;p&gt;Above-inflation water bill hikes will be even harsher, with average costs surging by £120 a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1592.  
  1593.  
  1594.  
  1595. &lt;p&gt;Adam Corlett, Principal Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said: “The new tax year has arrived, bringing higher taxes, even steeper bill increases, and benefits that fail to keep pace with the rising cost of living.&lt;/p&gt;
  1596.  
  1597.  
  1598.  
  1599. &lt;p&gt;“The typical household is now projected to be £400 worse off this financial year due to a toxic combination of weakening wage growth, escalating housing costs, tax and bill hikes, and benefits failing to outstrip inflation.” &lt;/p&gt;
  1600.  
  1601.  
  1602.  
  1603. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;The Chancellor&lt;/a&gt; has refused to rule out future tax rises but vowed not to repeat the bombshell raid of her first Budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  1604.  
  1605.  
  1606.  
  1607. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34085718/more-tax-hikes-loom-rachel-reeves-budget/&quot;&gt;Reeves said last week&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;span&gt;“If we go further and faster on&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34053041/rachel-reeves-spring-statement/&quot;&gt;delivering economic growth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;with our planning reforms, with our pensions reforms, with our regulatory reforms, we can both grow the economy and have more money for our public services. And that is what I&amp;#8217;m focused on.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1663.  
  1664.  
  1665. &lt;p&gt;The walkouts worsened backlogs, adding 140,000 patients to waiting lists.&lt;/p&gt;
  1666.  
  1667.  
  1668.  
  1669. &lt;p&gt;Mr Streeting said: “Cancelled operations weren’t just an inconvenience. &lt;/p&gt;
  1670.  
  1671.  
  1672.  
  1673. &lt;p&gt;“They left hundreds of thousands in pain, distress, and frustration.&lt;/p&gt;
  1674.  
  1675.  
  1676.  
  1677. &lt;p&gt;“That’s why I sat down with junior doctors and brought these damaging strikes to an end.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1678.  
  1679.  
  1680.  
  1681. &lt;p&gt;Since July, more than two million additional appointments have been carried out, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33409673/labour-victory-nhs-appointments/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cutting waiting lists by 193,000.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1689. &lt;p&gt;Labour Chair &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ellie-reeves/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ellie Reeves&lt;/a&gt; said: “Whether it’s putting more money in people’s pockets through our minimum wage boost, fixing our NHS, or investing in roads to tackle the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/28437289/keir-starmer-potholes-labour-plan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tory pothole plague&lt;/a&gt;, Labour is delivering the change working people voted for.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1721. &lt;p&gt;BEFORE the election, I told Sun readers what they would get with Labour.&lt;/p&gt;
  1722. &lt;p&gt;I promised to get urgent talks up and running with resident doctors.&lt;/p&gt;
  1723. &lt;p&gt;Less than a month later, we had a deal to end NHS strikes.&lt;/p&gt;
  1724. &lt;p&gt;A promise made and a promise kept.&lt;/p&gt;
  1725. &lt;p&gt;There have been 500,000 fewer cancelled appointments since July.&lt;/p&gt;
  1726. &lt;p&gt;That is the difference Labour has made.&lt;/p&gt;
  1727. &lt;p&gt;It wasn’t easy.&lt;/p&gt;
  1728. &lt;p&gt;The Chancellor has had to take tough decisions to invest in rebuilding the NHS.&lt;/p&gt;
  1729. &lt;p&gt;The Tories, Lib Dems and Reform would cut that investment, Labour is cutting waiting lists.&lt;/p&gt;

  1751. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LOVE Island host Maya Jama is giving ex-boyfriend Stormzy something to chew over — in the fast food business.&lt;/p&gt;
  1752.  
  1753.  
  1754.  
  1755. &lt;p&gt;She has designed a menu for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uber-eats/&quot;&gt;Uber Eats&lt;/a&gt; just two months after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/stormzy&quot;&gt;the rapper&lt;/a&gt; launched a meal for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mcdonald%e2%80%99s/&quot;&gt;McDonald’s&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  1770.  
  1771. &lt;p&gt;His offering, featuring McNuggets and large fries, has proved popular with hungry late-night revellers.&lt;/p&gt;
  1772.  
  1773.  
  1774.  
  1775. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/maya-jama&quot;&gt;Maya&lt;/a&gt; is telling party lovers her options will “help get your glow back”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1776.  
  1777.  
  1778.  
  1779. &lt;p&gt;The pair &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/20470923/maya-jama-stormzy-romance-history-rekindle/&quot;&gt;dated for five years&lt;/a&gt; from 2014 to 2019. &lt;/p&gt;
  1780.  
  1781.  
  1782.  
  1783. &lt;p&gt;They briefly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/24321780/maya-jama-confirms-relationship-stormzy-sweet-gesture/&quot;&gt;rekindled their romance&lt;/a&gt; in August 2023 but declared they had had their chips in July 2024 — stating they had “tried and it didn’t work”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1784.  
  1785.  
  1786.  
  1787. &lt;p&gt;But Maya, 30, showed there was no ill feeling on Tuesday when she hired 31-year-old Stormzy’s London bar &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28375214/maya-jama-stormzy-london-nightclub-launch/&quot;&gt;House Party&lt;/a&gt; to celebrate the launch of her TV show Now You Know.&lt;/p&gt;
  1788.  
  1789.  
  1790.  
  1791. &lt;p&gt;Her Uber menu includes a burger — but she has added watermelon jam, praising its anti-inflammatory benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  1792.  
  1793.  
  1794.  
  1795. &lt;p&gt;She is also offering ackee and saltfish, a staple &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/jamaica&quot;&gt;Jamaican&lt;/a&gt; breakfast which she says will revive fans thanks to it being rich in vitamins A and C. &lt;/p&gt;
  1796.  
  1797.  
  1798.  
  1799. &lt;p&gt;A griddled chicken salad and coffee-infused sticky toffee pudding is also available.&lt;/p&gt;
  1800.  
  1801.  
  1802.  
  1803. &lt;p&gt;Maya said: “I rarely get time off, but when I do, I love to simply sit back on the sofa, indulging in a little self-care and devouring a takeaway — and nothing helps me bounce back from a late one like it.&lt;/p&gt;
  1804.  
  1805.  
  1806.  
  1807. &lt;p&gt;“That’s why I’m happy to be teaming up with Uber Eats to bring my Revive And Thrive menu to life.&lt;/p&gt;
  1808.  
  1809.  
  1810.  
  1811. &lt;p&gt;“Featuring classics that I always crave, like mac ’n’ cheese and sticky toffee pudding to ackee and saltfish, these dishes are packed with flavour — and a few secret ingredients that I swear by to help get me back on form.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1812.  
  1813.  
  1814.  
  1815. &lt;p&gt;Customers can tuck in on April 12 and 13, with all five dishes priced at just £5 each.&lt;/p&gt;
  1816.  
  1817.  
  1818.  
  1819. &lt;p&gt;In comparison, Stormzy’s £7.99 meal consisted of nine chicken nuggets, large fries, Sprite Zero and an apple pie or Oreo McFlurry.&lt;/p&gt;

  1846. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MONKEYS are the undisputed kings of yodelling, research shows.&lt;/p&gt;
  1847.  
  1848.  
  1849.  
  1850. &lt;p&gt;They were found to have a frequency range five times greater than humans.&lt;/p&gt;
  1851.  
  1852.  
  1853.  
  1854. &lt;p&gt;And their voices can cover more than three octaves — while even the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/switzerland/&quot;&gt;Swiss&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/austria&quot;&gt;Austrian&lt;/a&gt; masters of the art struggle to cover just one.&lt;/p&gt;
  1855.  
  1856.  
  1857.  
  1858. &lt;p&gt;It is down to the unique structure of their throats and gives them a rich variety of calls for communicating with other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/30156921/marmoset-monkeys-phee-calls-communication-study/&quot;&gt;monkeys&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1859.  
  1860.  
  1861.  
  1862. &lt;p&gt;Researcher Jacob Dunn said: “These ultra-yodels might be particularly important in primates, which have complex social lives and need to communicate in a variety of different ways.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1863.  
  1864.  
  1865.  
  1866. &lt;p&gt;The findings are from a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/uk/&quot;&gt;British&lt;/a&gt; and Austrian research team’s study of monkeys in a wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/south-america/&quot;&gt;South America&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1867.  
  1868.  
  1869.  
  1870. &lt;p&gt;It examined their thin vocal membranes, which sit above the vocal cords.&lt;/p&gt;
  1871.  
  1872.  
  1873.  
  1874. &lt;p&gt;They have been lost in humans as we evolved more stable speech.&lt;/p&gt;
  1875.  
  1876.  
  1877.  
  1878. &lt;p&gt;Latin American species of howler monkey, capuchin squirrel monkey and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/peru&quot;&gt;Peruvian&lt;/a&gt; spider monkey have the largest membranes of all primates.&lt;/p&gt;
  1879.  
  1880.  
  1881.  
  1882. &lt;p&gt;They switch from using their vocal cords to the membrane to effect rapid switches in frequency — just like an Alpine yodeller or king of the jungle &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1409003/real-life-tarzan-incredible-story-of-the-boy-who-lived-in-the-jungle-for-41-years-after-his-dad-fled-the-vietnam-war/&quot;&gt;Tarzan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1883.  
  1884.  
  1885.  
  1886. &lt;p&gt;Professor Dunn added: “It’s highly likely this has evolved to enrich the animals’ call repertoire, and is potentially used for attention-grabbing changes, call diversification, or identifying themselves.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1887.  
  1888.  
  1889.  
  1890. &lt;p&gt;Lead author Dr Christian Herbst, of the University of Vienna, said: “This is a fascinating example of how nature provides the means of enriching animal vocalisation, despite their lack of language.&lt;/p&gt;

  2541. &lt;p&gt;He has been aimed at this race for a long time and the Skelton plan can come together &amp;#8211; although the scheme was almost derailed by running in the Betfair Chase at Haydock in November ground that was barely raceable. He looked to have seen off king mudlark Royale Pagaille only to completely and understandably empty on the run-in. He was clearly feeling the effects of that when out with the washing in the King George where he failed to get round. He was wisely given a break until heading to Kelso for an impressive Listed win last month ahead of Iroko who ran an excellent Grand National trial. He is a brilliant jumper who should get into a nice rhythm at a track where that’s a real asset.&lt;/p&gt;

  2550.  
  2551.  
  2552.  
  2553. &lt;p&gt;He missed Cheltenham and trainer Gordon Elliott can reap the rewards by winning this nice prize. He has already tasted success twice at Grade 1 level this season and gave Ballyburn a good race the last time they met at the Dublin Racing Festival. He likes decent ground and has more to come.&lt;/p&gt;

  2562.  
  2563.  
  2564.  
  2565. &lt;p&gt;He has his first crack at the National fences since his rider was knocked out of the saddle by a loose horse in the 2023 Grand National. He jumped beautifully until that slice of bad luck. His last run under Rules was a fine second in the Punchestown Champion Hunter last year but he’s won his past two point-to-points easily. It’s almost unfair calling rider Rob James an amateur because he’s a class act in the saddle and the perfect man to steer him round.&lt;/p&gt;

  2577. &lt;p&gt;1.45&lt;/p&gt;
  2578.  
  2579.  
  2580.  
  2581. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CROKE PARK&lt;/strong&gt; missed Cheltenham and trainer Gordon Elliott can reap the rewards by winning this nice prize.&lt;/p&gt;
  2582.  
  2583.  
  2584.  
  2585. &lt;p&gt;He has already tasted success twice at Grade 1 level this season and gave Ballyburn a good race the last time they met at the Dublin Racing Festival.&lt;/p&gt;
  2586.  
  2587.  
  2588.  
  2589. &lt;p&gt;He likes decent ground and has more to come.&lt;/p&gt;
  2590.  
  2591.  
  2592.  
  2593. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jango Baie&lt;/strong&gt; loved the Cheltenham hill to come with a late rattle to nick the Arkle.&lt;/p&gt;
  2594.  
  2595.  
  2596.  
  2597. &lt;p&gt;He will enjoy this step up in distance and has a bright future. He should be fine with these conditions and the only worry is that hard race he had 23 days ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  2598.  
  2599.  
  2600.  
  2601. &lt;p&gt;But we know Nicky Henderson wouldn’t run him if there were worries on that score.&lt;/p&gt;
  2602.  
  2603.  
  2604.  
  2605. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Impaire Et Passe&lt;/strong&gt; took the Aintree Hurdle at this meeting 12 months ago and will enjoy getting back here.&lt;/p&gt;
  2606.  
  2607.  
  2608.  
  2609. &lt;p&gt;He took Grade 1 honours over fences at Limerick at Christmas before finishing behind the tip last time when he was on and off the bridle.&lt;/p&gt;
  2610.  
  2611.  
  2612.  
  2613. &lt;p&gt;The first-time cheekpieces may help on that score.&lt;/p&gt;
  2614.  
  2615.  
  2616.  
  2617. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gidleigh Park&lt;/strong&gt; gave Caldwell Potter a four-length beating at Windsor last time out in January and he franked that form by winning at Cheltenham.&lt;/p&gt;
  2618.  
  2619.  
  2620.  
  2621. &lt;p&gt;This trip suits and he’s right in the hunt.&lt;/p&gt;
  2622.  
  2623.  
  2624.  
  2625. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rubaud &lt;/strong&gt;kept on well to take a Kempton Grade 2 latest but will need much more in this company although the flat track will suit.&lt;/p&gt;
  2626.  
  2627.  
  2628.  
  2629. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://fragments.sunracingtech.uk/best_price?horse=croke_park&amp;#038;date=2025-04-03&amp;#038;time=13%3A45&amp;#038;course=aintree&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; mobile_height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 300px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

  2633. &lt;p&gt;2.20&lt;/p&gt;
  2634.  
  2635.  
  2636.  
  2637. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PUTURHANDSTOGETHER &lt;/strong&gt;destroyed a competitive field when winning the Fred Winter at the Festival and looks a Grade 1 horse in the making.&lt;/p&gt;
  2638.  
  2639.  
  2640.  
  2641. &lt;p&gt;That was just his fourth spin over hurdles and he tanked along so this speed track should hold no fears.&lt;/p&gt;
  2642.  
  2643.  
  2644.  
  2645. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Naturally Nimble&lt;/strong&gt; comes here fresh after a solid fourth at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
  2646.  
  2647.  
  2648.  
  2649. &lt;p&gt;It’s very early days for him too and he’s shown enough promise to figure.&lt;/p&gt;
  2650.  
  2651.  
  2652.  
  2653. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Filibustering &lt;/strong&gt;caught the eye with his excellent hurdling when scooting in on debut at Kelso last month. This is much tougher but he’s an exciting prospect.&lt;/p&gt;
  2654.  
  2655.  
  2656.  
  2657. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Live Conti&lt;/strong&gt; scored on debut in France and struck at the first time of asking for Sir Alex Ferguson and Co at Wetherby in February.&lt;/p&gt;
  2658.  
  2659.  
  2660.  
  2661. &lt;p&gt;He didn’t come off the bridle there and could be anything.&lt;/p&gt;
  2662.  
  2663.  
  2664.  
  2665. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Murcia &lt;/strong&gt;won a Listed contest at Auteuil but was only eighth in the Fred Winter.&lt;/p&gt;
  2666.  
  2667.  
  2668.  
  2669. &lt;p&gt;That was just her third run for Willie Mullins so there should be more to come.&lt;/p&gt;
  2670.  
  2671.  
  2672.  
  2673. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Willy De Houelle&lt;/strong&gt; has yet to live up to his reputation and he was held in the Triumph Hurdle last time. He’s surely better than we’ve seen so far.&lt;/p&gt;
  2674.  
  2675.  
  2676.  
  2677. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://fragments.sunracingtech.uk/best_price?horse=puturhandstogether&amp;#038;date=2025-04-03&amp;#038;time=14%3A20&amp;#038;course=aintree&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; mobile_height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 300px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

  2681. &lt;p&gt;2.55&lt;/p&gt;
  2682.  
  2683.  
  2684.  
  2685. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GREY DAWNING&lt;/strong&gt; has been aimed at this race for a long time and the Skelton plan can come together.&lt;/p&gt;
  2686.  
  2687.  
  2688.  
  2689. &lt;p&gt;Although the scheme was almost derailed by running in the Betfair Chase at Haydock in November ground that was barely raceable.&lt;/p&gt;
  2690.  
  2691.  
  2692.  
  2693. &lt;p&gt;He looked to have seen off king mudlark &lt;strong&gt;Royale Pagaille&lt;/strong&gt; only to completely and understandably empty on the run-in.&lt;/p&gt;
  2694.  
  2695.  
  2696.  
  2697. &lt;p&gt;He was clearly feeling the effects of that when out with the washing in the King George where he failed to get round.&lt;/p&gt;
  2698.  
  2699.  
  2700.  
  2701. &lt;p&gt;He was wisely given a break until heading to Kelso for an impressive Listed win last month ahead of Iroko who ran an excellent Grand National trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  2702.  
  2703.  
  2704.  
  2705. &lt;p&gt;He is a brilliant jumper who should get into a nice rhythm at a track where that’s a real asset.&lt;/p&gt;
  2706.  
  2707.  
  2708.  
  2709. &lt;p&gt;The Gold Cup was quickly shelved with this race in mind and he looks hard to beat.&lt;/p&gt;
  2710.  
  2711.  
  2712.  
  2713. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spillane’s Tower&lt;/strong&gt; bypassed Cheltenham after a solid fifth in the King George where he made a couple of costly errors.&lt;/p&gt;
  2714.  
  2715.  
  2716.  
  2717. &lt;p&gt;His second to Ryanair winner Fact To File at Punchestown in November looks solid form and he’ll go close if jumping better.&lt;/p&gt;
  2718.  
  2719.  
  2720.  
  2721. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ahoy Senor&lt;/strong&gt; has been poor this season but that doesn’t matter as he loves it here with a couple of Grade 1s to his name.&lt;/p&gt;
  2722.  
  2723.  
  2724.  
  2725. &lt;p&gt;It’s hard to trust him but it wouldn’t be a shock if he went close.&lt;/p&gt;
  2726.  
  2727.  
  2728.  
  2729. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gaelic Warrior&lt;/strong&gt; has gone backwards a little and stepping up from two miles needs to rekindle his spark.&lt;/p&gt;
  2730.  
  2731.  
  2732.  
  2733. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stage Star&lt;/strong&gt; was a good second in the Cotswold at Cheltenham but this is tougher.&lt;/p&gt;
  2734.  
  2735.  
  2736.  
  2737. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://fragments.sunracingtech.uk/best_price?horse=grey_dawning&amp;#038;date=2025-04-03&amp;#038;time=14%3A55&amp;#038;course=aintree&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; mobile_height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 300px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  2738.  
  2739.  
  2740.  
  2741. &lt;p&gt;3.30&lt;/p&gt;
  2742.  
  2743.  
  2744.  
  2745. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONSTITUTION HILL&lt;/strong&gt; can bounce back from the first blip of his career after falling in the Champion Hurdle.&lt;/p&gt;
  2746.  
  2747.  
  2748.  
  2749. &lt;p&gt;I thought he was a little unlucky to come down as the horse in front rapped the flight which meant it was at an awkward angle when he jumped it.&lt;/p&gt;
  2750.  
  2751.  
  2752.  
  2753. &lt;p&gt;Nicky Henderson’s pride and joy has always been a low and slick jumper so it was likely to happen one day.&lt;/p&gt;
  2754.  
  2755.  
  2756.  
  2757. &lt;p&gt;He won this race in 2023 after taking the Champion and the decent ground will help with any minor worries about this stamina for this trip.&lt;/p&gt;
  2758.  
  2759.  
  2760.  
  2761. &lt;p&gt;He will have to be close to his best to see off &lt;strong&gt;Lossiemouth&lt;/strong&gt; who gets a 7lb mares’ allowance and looked better than ever when winning at Cheltenham last time.&lt;/p&gt;
  2762.  
  2763.  
  2764.  
  2765. &lt;p&gt;She would have gone very close in the Champion had she taken that route.&lt;/p&gt;
  2766.  
  2767.  
  2768.  
  2769. &lt;p&gt;Decent ground suits and it should be a cracking battle.&lt;/p&gt;
  2770.  
  2771.  
  2772.  
  2773. &lt;p&gt;There was less than three lengths between them in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton.&lt;/p&gt;
  2774.  
  2775.  
  2776.  
  2777. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Woodhoh &lt;/strong&gt;moved trainer Gordon Elliott to tears when winning the Martin Pipe at the Festival last time to break his duck for the week.&lt;/p&gt;
  2778.  
  2779.  
  2780.  
  2781. &lt;p&gt;She’s a really nice mare who deserves her crack at this stronger company but she’ll need a major step forward to come out on top.&lt;/p&gt;
  2782.  
  2783.  
  2784.  
  2785. &lt;p&gt;The others should be any price you like as their form looks short of this standard unless something strange happens.&lt;/p&gt;
  2786.  
  2787.  
  2788.  
  2789. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://fragments.sunracingtech.uk/best_price?horse=constitution_hill&amp;#038;date=2025-04-03&amp;#038;time=15%3A30&amp;#038;course=aintree&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; mobile_height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 300px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

  2791.

  2793. &lt;p&gt;4.05&lt;/p&gt;
  2794.  
  2795.  
  2796.  
  2797. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LIFETIME AMBITION&lt;/strong&gt; has his first crack at the National fences since his rider was knocked out of the saddle by a loose horse in the 2023 Grand National.&lt;/p&gt;
  2798.  
  2799.  
  2800.  
  2801. &lt;p&gt;He jumped beautifully until that slice of bad luck. His last run under Rules was a fine second in the Punchestown Champion Hunter last year but he’s won his past two point-to-points easily.&lt;/p&gt;
  2802.  
  2803.  
  2804.  
  2805. &lt;p&gt;It’s almost unfair calling rider Rob James an amateur because he’s a class act in the saddle and the perfect man to steer him round.&lt;/p&gt;
  2806.  
  2807.  
  2808.  
  2809. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Famous Clermont&lt;/strong&gt; won this in 2023 and is another who has been going well in the pointing field.&lt;/p&gt;
  2810.  
  2811.  
  2812.  
  2813. &lt;p&gt;We know this challenge is ideal and he won’t be a mile away.&lt;/p&gt;
  2814.  
  2815.  
  2816.  
  2817. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Drogo&lt;/strong&gt; is a threat at this level and had plenty in hand when winning at Haydock in February.&lt;/p&gt;
  2818.  
  2819.  
  2820.  
  2821. &lt;p&gt;He is a good jumper and decent ground is right up his street.&lt;/p&gt;
  2822.  
  2823.  
  2824.  
  2825. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Willitgoahead &lt;/strong&gt;was a cracking third in the Cheltenham version of this race last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  2826.  
  2827.  
  2828.  
  2829. &lt;p&gt;This is over a shorter trip but he travels strongly so shouldn’t get too far behind.&lt;/p&gt;
  2830.  
  2831.  
  2832.  
  2833. &lt;p&gt;David Maxwell deserves to get a good spin on &lt;strong&gt;Joker De Mai&lt;/strong&gt;. He won by half a furlong at Leicester last time and has few miles on the clock so there should be more to come.&lt;/p&gt;
  2834.  
  2835.  
  2836.  
  2837. &lt;p&gt;Patrick Mullins rides &lt;strong&gt;Annamix &lt;/strong&gt;for his dad Willie. They were third last year and could make the frame again at the age of 12.&lt;/p&gt;
  2838.  
  2839.  
  2840.  
  2841. &lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;authenticated-iframe&quot; src=&quot;https://fragments.sunracingtech.uk/best_price?horse=lifetime_ambition&amp;#038;date=2025-04-03&amp;#038;time=16%3A05&amp;#038;course=aintree&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; mobile_height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 300px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  2842.  
  2843.  
  2844.  
  2845. &lt;p&gt;4.40&lt;/p&gt;
  2846.  
  2847.  
  2848.  
  2849. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PETIT TONNERRE&lt;/strong&gt; had rotten luck at Doncaster last time when brought down.&lt;/p&gt;
  2850.  
  2851.  
  2852.  
  2853. &lt;p&gt;His January visit to Town Moor was more fruitful as he won a decent contest with a bit left in the tank.&lt;/p&gt;
  2854.  
  2855.  
  2856.  
  2857. &lt;p&gt;His last visit to Aintree saw him finish an excellent second in good company and he’s clearly improved since then. He is potentially well ahead of the handicapper.&lt;/p&gt;
  2858.  
  2859.  
  2860.  
  2861. &lt;p&gt;Last year’s winner &lt;strong&gt;Sans Bruit&lt;/strong&gt; has had a quiet season but that means he’s back from his winning mark and a return to this track could pay dividends.&lt;/p&gt;
  2862.  
  2863.  
  2864.  
  2865. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Mate Mozzie&lt;/strong&gt; didn’t get up the hill in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham but travelled well for most of the way and this track may suit better.&lt;/p&gt;
  2866.  
  2867.  
  2868.  
  2869. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Calico &lt;/strong&gt;is an honest performer at this level and he’s only 2lb higher than his Cheltenham win in October.&lt;/p&gt;
  2870.  
  2871.  
  2872.  
  2873. &lt;p&gt;This speed test should suit and good ground is ideal.&lt;/p&gt;
  2874.  
  2875.  
  2876.  
  2877. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Folkes Tiara&lt;/strong&gt; has to be on the shortlist too. He went down in a head-bobber at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting and has been saved for this since.&lt;/p&gt;
  2878.  
  2879.  
  2880.  
  2881. &lt;p&gt;Henry De Bromhead continues in good form and he won’t be far away.&lt;/p&gt;
  2882.  
  2883.  
  2884.  
  2885. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Primoz &lt;/strong&gt;never recovered from a bad start at Cheltenham latest and could bounce back, while &lt;strong&gt;Galunggung&lt;/strong&gt; isn’t without an each-way chance for local trainer Donald McCain after a game Carlisle win.&lt;/p&gt;
  2886.

  2893. &lt;p&gt;5.15&lt;/p&gt;
  2894.  
  2895.  
  2896.  
  2897. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JACKIE HOBBS&lt;/strong&gt; looked high-class when winning easily at Ascot last time and she looks ideal for this contest.&lt;/p&gt;
  2898.  
  2899.  
  2900.  
  2901. &lt;p&gt;That was just her second run so there should be a lot more to come.&lt;/p&gt;
  2902.  
  2903.  
  2904.  
  2905. &lt;p&gt;Connections of &lt;strong&gt;Seo Linn&lt;/strong&gt; have kept her fresh with this race in mind after an impressive Listed win at Cheltenham in November.&lt;/p&gt;
  2906.  
  2907.  
  2908.  
  2909. &lt;p&gt;She didn’t come off the bridle there and clearly has lots of ability. She is Flat bred so speedy Aintree should suit her even more than Prestbury Park.&lt;/p&gt;
  2910.  
  2911.  
  2912.  
  2913. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Charisma Cat&lt;/strong&gt; took a nice contest at Sandown 26 days ago and trainer Alan King has won this before. She likes decent ground and showed good pace.&lt;/p&gt;
  2914.  
  2915.  
  2916.  
  2917. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kingston Queen&lt;/strong&gt; finished a neck ahead of her when they met at Market Rasen in January and she’s another coming here nice and fresh.&lt;/p&gt;
  2918.  
  2919.  
  2920.  
  2921. &lt;p&gt;Ben Pauling won this last year and has another big shout with &lt;strong&gt;Betty’s Daisy&lt;/strong&gt; who didn’t break sweat when scoring on debut at Warwick.&lt;/p&gt;

  2999. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;RESIDENTS have been left fuming after claiming their much-loved beauty spot has been left ruined by a fleet of Travellers&amp;#8217; caravans.&lt;/p&gt;
  3000.  
  3001.  
  3002.  
  3003. &lt;p&gt;The Travelling community have set up a large camp on playing fields at Swanhurst Park in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/birmingham/&quot;&gt;Birmingham&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3004.  
  3005.  
  3006.  
  3007. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233647&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/travellers-move-onto-swanshurst-park-984197438.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Caravans parked in a park.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233647&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BPM&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Locals have been left disgruntled[/caption]
  3008.  
  3009.  
  3010.  
  3011. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233646&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/travellers-move-onto-swanshurst-park-984197453.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Caravans parked in a park.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233646&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BPM&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Travellers moved onto Swanshurst Park[/caption]
  3012.  
  3013.  
  3014.  
  3015. &lt;p&gt;Dozens of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/caravans/&quot;&gt;caravans&lt;/a&gt; and other vehicles were seen stationary on at the popular park which is on the borders of Moseley and Billesley.&lt;/p&gt;
  3016.  
  3017.  
  3018.  
  3019. &lt;p&gt;It was said the group drove onto beauty spot on Sunday, March 30, just weeks after their last visit.&lt;/p&gt;
  3020.  
  3021.  
  3022.  
  3023. &lt;p&gt;Disgruntled locals have now warned people to stay away from the grounds if they feel &amp;#8220;uncomfortable&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3024.  
  3025.  
  3026.  
  3027. &lt;p&gt;The Friends of Swanshurst Park group advised residents to avoid a section of the green space if they felt this way.&lt;/p&gt;
  3028.  
  3029.  
  3030.  
  3031. &lt;p&gt;It said an eviction notice would be served on the community and posted on Facebook: &amp;#8220;It has been reported to me that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/travellers/&quot;&gt;travellers&lt;/a&gt; are back on Swanshurst Park.&lt;/p&gt;
  3032.  
  3033.  
  3034.  
  3035. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We think it best if members of the public do not put themselves in a position in which they feel uncomfortable by working on the wildflower patch while the travellers are in close proximity.&lt;/p&gt;
  3036.  
  3037.  
  3038.  
  3039. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The notice will be served as soon as possible for them to leave but realistically, they will not be gone before the end of the week.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3040.  
  3041.  
  3042.  
  3043. &lt;p&gt;A council spokesperson said they would &amp;#8220;recover the land&amp;#8221; and offered solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
  3044.  
  3045.  
  3046.  
  3047. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson said: “Birmingham City Council is committed to actively protecting its land and will take &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/steps/&quot;&gt;steps&lt;/a&gt; to recover this land where unauthorised encampments encroach upon it.&lt;/p&gt;
  3048.  
  3049.  
  3050.  
  3051. &lt;p&gt;“The council has useable transit sites and plots for use by the gypsy, &lt;span id=&quot;d3bbe676-987b-4880-baaa-662d348fe3c6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Roma&lt;/span&gt; and traveller community – which is in line with Government policy – and details of the gypsy and traveller accommodation assessment carried out and updated in 2019 can be found on our website.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3072.  
  3073.  
  3074.  
  3075. &lt;p&gt;The travellers also occupied the park in May and October last year forcing the council to step in again to remove them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3076.  
  3077.  
  3078.  
  3079. &lt;p&gt;The council said it would liaise with communities and businesses who may be impacted by plans to introduce up to 15 temporary sites for travellers.&lt;/p&gt;
  3080.  
  3081.  
  3082.  
  3083. &lt;p&gt;A pilot programme, set to begin in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt;, could see &amp;#8220;negotiated stopping&amp;#8221; sites made available and would involve unused pieces of land. &lt;/p&gt;
  3084.  
  3085.  
  3086.  
  3087. &lt;p&gt;They typically provide hard standing for holding caravans, a secure boundary and basic sanitary provision.&lt;/p&gt;
  3088.  
  3089.  
  3090.  
  3091. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, some also provide electricity for the residents.&lt;/p&gt;
  3092.  
  3093.  
  3094.  
  3095. &lt;p&gt;But due to factors such as repeated vandalism and unauthorised encampments, the council’s two operational transit sites have often been closed.&lt;/p&gt;
  3096.  
  3097.  
  3098.  
  3099. &lt;p&gt;It comes after angry residents were left out of pocket after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31223247/travellers-have-taken-over-coffee-shop-car-park/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;travellers took over their coffee shop car park.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3100.  
  3101.  
  3102.  
  3103. &lt;p&gt;The illegal encampment left Wilson + Bay &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31055339/coffee-clubs-save-money-sun-savers/&quot;&gt;Coffee Club&lt;/a&gt; earning &amp;#8220;£0 per day&amp;#8221; when their nearby car park became inaccessible.&lt;/p&gt;
  3104.  
  3105.  
  3106.  
  3107. &lt;p&gt;Jonathon Hill who runs the shop at the Christchurch Viewpoint in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/25420423/newport-county/&quot;&gt;Newport&lt;/a&gt;, Gwent, was fuming when he realised the new state of the neighbouring plot.&lt;/p&gt;
  3108.  
  3109.  
  3110.  
  3111. &lt;p&gt;However, he has not let that affect his attitude to work, calling for people to not be afraid and continue using his &lt;span id=&quot;d6c79220-fd74-4b40-a650-4deadfc46e6d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;business&lt;/span&gt; as normal.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  3126. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;EASTENDERS legend Michelle Ryan has been left devastated after being rocked by a family tragedy. &lt;/p&gt;
  3127.  
  3128.  
  3129.  
  3130. &lt;p&gt;The actress, famed for her role as Zoe Slater on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; soap &lt;span id=&quot;1abbea53-eadb-48e2-96f6-6ae0356e5c0a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;opera&lt;/span&gt;, confirmed the sad &lt;span id=&quot;94f052b6-a2b9-4e33-b002-ae9fee488c42&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; that her grandmother had passed away. &lt;/p&gt;
  3131.  
  3132.  
  3133.  
  3134. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233745&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 630px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/eastenders-tx-bbc-one-2405643.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=620&quot; alt=&quot;Michelle Ryan as Zoe Slater in EastEnders.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233745&quot; width=&quot;620&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;EastEnders legend Michelle Ryan has been rocked by a shock family loss[/caption]

  3143.  
  3144.  
  3145.  
  3146. &lt;p&gt;Writing to confirm the sad news, Michelle said: &amp;#8220;It is with great sadness that I share my grandmother passed away today early &lt;span id=&quot;2b206a04-61f1-4b7a-bd13-fb435eaffb54&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;this morning&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3150. &lt;p&gt;Michelle then admitted she &amp;#8220;had a feeling&amp;#8221; that she should visit Doreen and so decided to pay her a visit just 24 hours before her passing.&lt;/p&gt;
  3151.  
  3152.  
  3153.  
  3154. &lt;p&gt;The star continued: &amp;#8220;I got the feeling that I had to go and see her early yesterday morning, as ever timing is everything, as I got to say goodbye to her even though she couldn’t respond and played her some of her favourite music. Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. &lt;/p&gt;
  3155.  
  3156.  
  3157.  
  3158. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She reached a grand old age and lived for her family especially her grandchildren. &lt;/p&gt;
  3159.  
  3160.  
  3161.  
  3162. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She even met many of her great grandchildren! So many wonderful childhood memories. Rest in peace Doreen.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3163.  
  3164.  
  3165.  
  3166. &lt;p&gt;Michelle was immediately inundated with messages from her followers who were quick to share their condolences. &lt;/p&gt;
  3167.  
  3168.  
  3169.  
  3170. &lt;p&gt;One fan penned: &amp;#8220;Ah sorry to hear this, condolences on you and your family’s loss, RIP to her. Hope she passed on peacefully!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3171.  
  3172.  
  3173.  
  3174. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;My heart aches for you and your family during this difficult time. Please accept my deepest condolences. Sending you and your family my love and prayers.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3175.  
  3176.  
  3177.  
  3178. &lt;p&gt;Before a third added: &amp;#8220;So sorry. May her memory be blessed and the family remember all beautiful moments and values with her alive. RIP.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3202. &lt;p&gt;Michelle played Zoe Slater in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/eastenders/&quot;&gt;EastEnders&lt;/a&gt; from 2000 until her last appearance in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
  3203.  
  3204.  
  3205.  
  3206. &lt;p&gt;The beloved character was involved in major storylines which included the memorable &amp;#8216;You aint my mother&amp;#8217; shouting match with mum Kat (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jessie-wallace/&quot;&gt;Jessie Wallace&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
  3207.  
  3208.  
  3209.  
  3210. &lt;p&gt;He other major storyline included a romance with Dennis Rickman (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/nigel-harman/&quot;&gt;Nigel Harman&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
  3211.

  3227. &lt;div&gt;
  3228. &lt;p&gt;Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/11074896/eastenders-coronation-street-emmerdale-complaints-geoff-swearing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; get in touch with Ofcom and complain&lt;/a&gt;. Here are just some of the most scandalous&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  3229. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EastEnders baby theft: 13,400&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Ofcom complaints&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners &amp;#8211; with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not &amp;#8220;unduly disturbing”.&lt;/li&gt;
  3230. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom &amp;#8211; but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.&lt;/li&gt;
  3231. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5114290/pat-phelan-coronation-street-rob-michelle-wedding-shoot-nicola/&quot;&gt;at the centre of a spate of killings&lt;/a&gt;. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford &amp;#8211; and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.&lt;/li&gt;
  3232. &lt;/div&gt;
  3233. &lt;/div&gt;

  3264. &lt;p&gt;A DEADLY drug-resistant superbug is spreading &amp;#8220;fast&amp;#8221; in the US, with a whopping 2,000 cases in one single city.&lt;/p&gt;
  3265.  
  3266.  
  3267.  
  3268. &lt;p&gt;Candida auris, otherwise known as C. auris, is spreading across New York more than any other state in the US. &lt;/p&gt;

  3277.  
  3278.  
  3279.  
  3280. &lt;p&gt;It is a highly-transmissible&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9563987/heat-waves-fuel-rise-killer-fungal-infection-candida-auris/&quot;&gt;fungal infection&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that can cause serious illness, particularly among vulnerable hospital patients.&lt;/p&gt;
  3281.  
  3282.  
  3283.  
  3284. &lt;p&gt;In some cases it won&amp;#8217;t cause any symptoms, but some people experience a fever or chills, low blood pressure and a rash, and it can lead to bloodstream, wound and ear infections, according to Public Health England.&lt;/p&gt;
  3285.  
  3286.  
  3287.  
  3288. &lt;p&gt;According to the CDC, there have been a whopping 10,788 confirmed cases of C. auris.&lt;/p&gt;
  3289.  
  3290.  
  3291.  
  3292. &lt;p&gt;And of those cases, 1,795 were found in New York State.&lt;/p&gt;
  3293.  
  3294.  
  3295.  
  3296. &lt;p&gt;The CDC has chillingly called this disease an &amp;#8220;urgent threat&amp;#8221; and is fatal a terrifying 60 per cent of the time, reports claim.&lt;/p&gt;
  3297.  
  3298.  
  3299.  
  3300. &lt;p&gt;It states: &amp;#8220;It is often resistant to multiple antifungal drugs, spreads easily in healthcare facilities, and can cause severe infections with high death rates.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3301.  
  3302.  
  3303.  
  3304. &lt;p&gt;Now, in New York alone, the state&amp;#8217;s Department of Health has confirmed there have been nearly 90 more cases in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  3305.  
  3306.  
  3307.  
  3308. &lt;p&gt;In comparison, last year there were 460 confirmed cases and in 2024 there were 412.&lt;/p&gt;
  3309.  
  3310.  
  3311.  
  3312. &lt;p&gt;It can spread in healthcare settings through, for example, contact with contaminates surfaces or equipment.&lt;/p&gt;
  3313.  
  3314.  
  3315.  
  3316. &lt;p&gt;It can also spread from physical contact with an infected person.&lt;/p&gt;
  3317.

  3328. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  3329. Candida auris is a fungus that, when it gets into the bloodstream, can cause dangerous infections that can be life-threatening. &lt;/p&gt;
  3331. &lt;div&gt;
  3332. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not usually a threat to healthy people, but it can be deadly for those with weak immune systems &amp;#8211; especially patients who are already sick, the elderly and newborns.&lt;/p&gt;
  3333. &lt;p&gt;It is often symptom-less, but some people experience a fever, chills, sweating, low blood pressure, fatigue, an increased heart rate, pain in the ear, and a rash.&lt;/p&gt;
  3334. &lt;p&gt;In serious cases, Candida auris can cause ear and wound infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and infections in the blood that can spread to the rest of the body, like sepsis.&lt;/p&gt;
  3335. &lt;p&gt;Overall, it has a mortality rate of between 30 and 60 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  3336. &lt;p&gt;Candida auris was first identified in a patient in Japan in 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
  3337. &lt;p&gt;Experts have warned that the killer fungal infection &amp;#8211; that is resistant to drugs &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8815611/killer-fungal-infection-immune-drugs-global/&quot;&gt;is now sweeping the globe&lt;/a&gt;, with cases rising worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
  3338. &lt;p&gt;Candida auris spreads through direct contact with someone who has it, or from touching a contaminated surface. It can also be passed on through medical devices.&lt;/p&gt;
  3339. &lt;p&gt;In 2019, the UK Government issued a warning to hospitals about a new strain. There are now six known types, or clades.&lt;/p&gt;
  3340. &lt;p&gt;To prevent outbreaks, patients who test positive should be isolated, and there should be enhanced hygiene procedures and cleaning of affected clinical areas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3341. &lt;/div&gt;
  3342. &lt;/div&gt;
  3343. &lt;/div&gt;
  3345.  
  3346.  
  3347.  
  3348. &lt;p&gt;The New York State Department of Health stated: &amp;#8220;Most C. auris infections are treatable with antifungal drugs. &lt;/p&gt;
  3349.  
  3350.  
  3351.  
  3352. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;However, some C. auris infections have been resistant to all three main classes of antifungal medications, making them more difficult to treat.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3353.  
  3354.  
  3355.  
  3356. &lt;p&gt;According to officials, there are various reasons why they believe cases continue to increase.&lt;/p&gt;
  3357.  
  3358.  
  3359.  
  3360. &lt;p&gt;This includes poor general infection prevention and control practices in healthcare facilities.&lt;/p&gt;
  3361.  
  3362.  
  3363.  
  3364. &lt;p&gt;In 2022, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/world-health-organization/&quot;&gt;World Health Organization&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(WHO) listed Candida auris as a &amp;#8220;critical priority&amp;#8221; for research and public health action.&lt;/p&gt;
  3365.  
  3366.  
  3367.  
  3368. &lt;p&gt;The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also declared the fungus as &amp;#8220;an urgent antimicrobial resistance threat&amp;#8221; as it has become&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8815611/killer-fungal-infection-immune-drugs-global/&quot;&gt;increasingly difficult to treat&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3369.  
  3370.  
  3371.  
  3372. &lt;p&gt;Scientists have previously said it could trigger the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14355426/drug-resistant-candida-auris-next-pandemic-threat-found-beaches/&quot;&gt;next pandemic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3373.  
  3374.  
  3375.  
  3376. &lt;p&gt;Cases are rising worldwide, increasing each year since 2016.&lt;/p&gt;
  3377.

  3407. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luke-littler/&quot;&gt;Littler&lt;/a&gt; joined &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;United&lt;/a&gt; legends &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/roy-keane/&quot;&gt;Roy Keane&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gary-neville/&quot;&gt;Gary Neville&lt;/a&gt; in the Overlap studio for Thursday’s episode.&lt;/p&gt;
  3408.  
  3409.  
  3410.  
  3411. &lt;p&gt;Jill Scott, Ian Wright and Jamie Carragher were also present for the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  3412.  
  3413.  
  3414.  
  3415. &lt;p&gt;But die-hard United fan Littler’s appearance was first teased on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  3416.  
  3417.  
  3418.  
  3419. &lt;p&gt;In a Twitter clip, Scott got the ball rolling.&lt;/p&gt;
  3420.  
  3421.  
  3422.  
  3423. &lt;p&gt;She asked Neville: “Why don’t you tease who the guest is? Give us some clues.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3424.  
  3425.  
  3426.  
  3427. &lt;p&gt;This saw Neville ponder the moment before replying: “Bully’s special prize.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3428.  
  3429.  
  3430.  
  3431. &lt;p&gt;Keane and Co then gasped in delight as they put two and two together.&lt;/p&gt;
  3432.  
  3433.  
  3434.  
  3435. &lt;p&gt;And it didn’t take long before Littler walked into the studio before taking a seat.&lt;/p&gt;
  3436.  
  3437.  
  3438.  
  3439. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/joinsunclub/index.html?utm_source=onsite&amp;amp;utm_medium=boxout&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sunclub&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/joinsunclub/index.html?utm_source=onsite&amp;amp;utm_medium=boxout&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sunclub&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; plus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/joinsunclub/index.html?utm_source=onsite&amp;amp;utm_medium=boxout&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sunclub&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;in-depth coverage and exclusives &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/joinsunclub/index.html?utm_source=onsite&amp;amp;utm_medium=boxout&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sunclub&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;from Old Trafford&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3440.  
  3441.  
  3442.  
  3443. &lt;p&gt;Neville then declared: “Yes Luke!”&lt;/p&gt;
  3444.  
  3445.  
  3446.  
  3447. &lt;p&gt;Fans were equally excited by Littler’s appearance.&lt;/p&gt;

  3524. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PRESSURE in Formula 1 doesn&amp;#8217;t get bigger than trying to succeed the legacy of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. &lt;/p&gt;
  3525.  
  3526.  
  3527.  
  3528. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mercedes-benz/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mercedes&lt;/a&gt; team principal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/toto-wolff/&quot;&gt;Toto Wolff&lt;/a&gt; has placed his trust in 18-year-old wonderkid &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30182288/lewis-hamilton-mercedes-replacement-kimi-antonelli-announced/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kimi Antonelli to be the man to fill the biggest boots of all&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3529.  
  3530.  
  3531.  
  3532. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31265092&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/andrea-kimi-antonelli-italy-mercedes-942123573.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a young man wearing a petronas shirt smiles for the camera&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31265092&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;751&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Kimi Antonelli, 18, has been associated with Mercedes since 2019 as a junior[/caption]
  3533.  
  3534.  
  3535.  
  3536. &lt;p&gt;The rising Italian &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/f1/&quot;&gt;F1&lt;/a&gt; star has risen to prominence following a dominant resume in all forms of karting and junior competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  3537.  
  3538.  
  3539.  
  3540. &lt;p&gt;He won consecutive titles at the direct-drive Karting European Championship in 2020 and 2021 and then the&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;2022 Italian F4 Championship. &lt;/p&gt;
  3541.  
  3542.  
  3543.  
  3544. &lt;p&gt;Antonelli was also a gold medallist at the 2022 FIA Motorsport Games for Italy.&lt;/p&gt;
  3545.  
  3546.  
  3547.  
  3548. &lt;p&gt;Though the well-trodden path for a young driver into &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/f1/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;F1 &lt;/a&gt;is usually coming through Formula 2&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;as a champion, Antonelli&amp;#8217;s talent clearly overshadowed his two wins in 26 starts with Prema.&lt;/p&gt;
  3549.  
  3550.  
  3551.  
  3552. &lt;p&gt;Antonelli becomes the 98th Italian driver in F1 history &amp;#8211; the first Italian in Mercedes history and the third-youngest driver in Formula 1 history. &lt;/p&gt;
  3553.  
  3554.  
  3555.  
  3556. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Born into racing &amp;#8211; infinity with F1 royalty&lt;/h2&gt;
  3557.  
  3558.  
  3559.  
  3560. &lt;p&gt;Antonelli&amp;#8217;s father, Marco, was a long-serving driver who prompted his son&amp;#8217;s first steps into the world of motorsport from a young age.&lt;/p&gt;
  3561.  
  3562.  
  3563.  
  3564. &lt;p&gt;The Bologna native was encouraged to pursue a career in football, but was life on the race track was all he thought of.&lt;/p&gt;
  3565.  
  3566.  
  3567.  
  3568. &lt;p&gt;Antonelli, whose full name is Andrea Kimi Antonelli &amp;#8211; middle-name namesake of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kimi-raikkonen/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kimi Raikkonen&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; like many drivers grew up idolising Ayrton Senna.&lt;/p&gt;
  3569.  
  3570.  
  3571.  
  3572. &lt;p&gt;The Brazilian icon sparked Antonelli&amp;#8217;s passion in the sport and has gone on to take his number 12 &amp;#8211; a number Senna raced with in the burgeoning start of his career.&lt;/p&gt;
  3573.  
  3574.  
  3575.  
  3576. &lt;p&gt;Antonelli has made an incredible start to the 2025 season, gaining TWELVE places to finish FOURTH in his debut race in Australia &amp;#8211; after qualifying way down in 16th.&lt;/p&gt;
  3577.  
  3578.  
  3579.  
  3580. &lt;p&gt;He then qualified in eighth in China and gained two spots to finish sixth.&lt;/p&gt;
  3581.  
  3582.  
  3583.  
  3584. &lt;p&gt;The teenager currently sits in 5th in the Drivers&amp;#8217; championship, ahead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lewis-hamilton/&quot;&gt;Lewis Hamilton&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3585.  
  3586.  
  3587.  
  3588. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Relationship with Wolff &lt;/h2&gt;
  3589.  
  3590.  
  3591.  
  3592. &lt;p&gt;Antonelli often describes Wolff as &amp;#8220;like a second father&amp;#8221; to him and that&amp;#8217;s because for much of his life he has been. &lt;/p&gt;
  3593.  
  3594.  
  3595.  
  3596. &lt;p&gt;The pair&amp;#8217;s relationship first started when Wolff first noticed Antonelli&amp;#8217;s talent during his karting days around 11 years old. &lt;/p&gt;
  3597.  
  3598.  
  3599.  
  3600. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_33424068&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/andrea-kimi-antonelli-italy-mercedes-928713670.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Andrea Kimi Antonelli of Italy and Mercedes wearing headphones in the garage during practice.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-33424068&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;618&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Toto Wolff scouted Antonelli when he was aged just 11[/caption]
  3601.  
  3602.  
  3603.  
  3604. &lt;p&gt;A year later, he signed for the Mercedes Junior Team and made the relationship more formal.&lt;/p&gt;
  3605.  
  3606.  
  3607.  
  3608. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8220;I signed with the Mercedes Academy in Monaco 2018, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/toto-wolff/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wolff &lt;/a&gt;invited me and my father. And I remember with emotion seeing the FP1 next to Totò inside the box,&amp;#8221;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;he told Gazzetta last year. &lt;/p&gt;
  3609.  
  3610.  
  3611.  
  3612. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8220;I have a great relationship with him, he&amp;#8217;s like a second father to me, he even scolded me recently because I was a bit naughty.&amp;#8221;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3613.  
  3614.  
  3615.  
  3616. &lt;p&gt;On Wolff&amp;#8217;s side, when it came to choosing Antonelli as a successor for Hamilton, he said it took him just “five minutes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3617.  
  3618.  
  3619.  
  3620. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/GM_18-02_F1_EARNINGS_GRAPHIC.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/GM_18-02_F1_EARNINGS_GRAPHIC.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=625&quot; alt=&quot;Illustration of 2025 F1 driver salaries, ranked by annual salary.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-33437419&quot; width=&quot;625&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

  3622.  
  3623.  
  3624. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Off the track &lt;/h2&gt;
  3625.  
  3626.  
  3627.  
  3628. &lt;p&gt;Away from being the brand new face in global motor racing, Antonelli has made other ventures away from the car. &lt;/p&gt;
  3629.  
  3630.  
  3631.  
  3632. &lt;p&gt;He appeared in a cameo role as Matteo in the sports drama film &lt;span&gt;based on a &lt;/span&gt;rally driver Italian Race in 2016. &lt;/p&gt;
  3633.

  3657. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MARRIED at First Sight Australia took an emotional turn as groom Elliot bared his soul in a deeply personal letter &amp;#8211; only to be met with a brutal reaction from his bride, Veronica.&lt;/p&gt;
  3658.  
  3659.  
  3660.  
  3661. &lt;p&gt;As part of the &amp;#8220;crash course&amp;#8221; task designed to fast-track new couples&amp;#8217; &lt;span id=&quot;ef854455-9a6e-422b-8f1a-e3fe31070e74&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;relationships&lt;/span&gt;, contestants were asked to write a heartfelt letter revealing their most significant life experience.&lt;/p&gt;
  3662.  
  3663.  
  3664.  
  3665. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233568&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image_e940d9.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Woman looking seriously at man.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233568&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;538&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;E4&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;MAFS Australia&amp;#8217;s Veronica gave a brutal response to her groom&amp;#8217;s heartbreaking letter about his sister&amp;#8217;s health diagnosis[/caption]
  3666.  
  3667.  
  3668.  
  3669. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233592&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image_a3441e.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Man looking down, appearing pensive.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233592&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;537&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;E4&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Elliot opened up about his younger sister Bridie falling into a coma[/caption]
  3670.  
  3671.  
  3672.  
  3673. &lt;p&gt;For Elliot, this meant opening up about his younger sister Bridie’s &lt;span id=&quot;2f0af27a-01c0-41c4-b008-20d768357626&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt; battle &amp;#8211; a story he had never shared before.&lt;/p&gt;
  3674.  
  3675.  
  3676.  
  3677. &lt;p&gt;He confessed: &amp;#8220;It would have had to be one of my most deep and harrowing memories. Something that affected me so much in my childhood and is deeply personal.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3678.  
  3679.  
  3680.  
  3681. &lt;p&gt;In the letter, Elliot recalled the moment his nine-year-old self sat in a hospital specialist’s office with his mother, as his sister was diagnosed with type 1 &lt;span id=&quot;9052ef08-acce-41a1-8764-ab56c6c66312&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;diabetes&lt;/span&gt; and fell into a coma.&lt;/p&gt;
  3682.  
  3683.  
  3684.  
  3685. &lt;p&gt;He read: &amp;#8220;The &lt;span id=&quot;69575c65-e2fc-495e-bf1f-5f0774250c1c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; hit us like a ton of bricks. My mum burst into tears, which inevitably led to me joining her in a choir of uncontrollable sobbing.&lt;/p&gt;
  3686.  
  3687.  
  3688.  
  3689. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He immediately comforted her. He engaged with the doctor about the treatment and in that moment my dad&amp;#8217;s strength and stoicism set us on a path forward.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3690.  
  3691.  
  3692.  
  3693. &lt;p&gt;Elliot explained that this event shaped how he processes emotions today, adding: &amp;#8220;The impact this memory has on me is that I never want to be overwhelmed by emotion.&lt;/p&gt;
  3694.  
  3695.  
  3696.  
  3697. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Like anyone, I feel things &amp;#8211; I just do my best to identify and understand them rather than be controlled by them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3698.  
  3699.  
  3700.  
  3701. &lt;p&gt;But instead of the emotional connection he may have hoped for, Veronica’s reaction was shockingly indifferent.&lt;/p&gt;
  3702.  
  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705. &lt;p&gt;She responded with a chuckle: &amp;#8220;Cute. Thank you for sharing. That was very &lt;span id=&quot;7ca57450-0676-4191-8cbe-8156fbc72b17&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3706.  
  3707.  
  3708.  
  3709. &lt;p&gt;The personal trainer soon burst into laughter in a confessional, holding her head in her hands.&lt;/p&gt;

  3730.  
  3731.  
  3732.  
  3733. &lt;p&gt;She fumed: &amp;#8220;This was the perfect opportunity for him to just tell me something, anything.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3734.  
  3735.  
  3736.  
  3737. &lt;p&gt;Her apparent disappointment stunned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/e4/&quot;&gt;E4&lt;/a&gt; viewers, with many taking to social media to slam her reaction.&lt;/p&gt;
  3738.  
  3739.  
  3740.  
  3741. &lt;p&gt;One fan tweeted: &amp;#8220;So ummm….Veronica is a psychopath…agreed? F**k me I actually felt bad for Elliot then.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3742.  
  3743.  
  3744.  
  3745. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Never thought I would side with elliot but there you go, this is awful… this shows why its hard for men to open up sometimes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3746.  
  3747.  
  3748.  
  3749. &lt;p&gt;Someone else said: &amp;#8220;Didn’t know there was someone who could make Elliot look much much less than an a*****e than them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3750.  
  3751.  
  3752.  
  3753. &lt;p&gt;Elliott and Veronica’s struggles weren’t limited to the letter task &amp;#8211; tensions between the pair had been brewing for some time.&lt;/p&gt;
  3754.  
  3755.  
  3756.  
  3757. &lt;p&gt;From the moment they met at the altar, there were signs they weren’t a perfect match.&lt;/p&gt;
  3758.  
  3759.  
  3760.  
  3761. &lt;p&gt;While Elliott appeared smitten, Veronica seemed hesitant, later admitting to the other brides that she wasn’t physically attracted to him.&lt;/p&gt;
  3762.  
  3763.  
  3764.  
  3765. &lt;p&gt;“He’s a nice guy, but I don’t feel that spark,” she confided.&lt;/p&gt;
  3766.  
  3767.  
  3768.  
  3769. &lt;p&gt;Their honeymoon only added to the cracks in their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  3770.  
  3771.  
  3772.  
  3773. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  3774. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  3775. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Mafs couples that have stood the test of time&lt;/h3&gt;
  3776. &lt;/div&gt;
  3777. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  3780. &lt;div&gt;
  3781. &lt;p&gt;Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  3782. &lt;p&gt;The pair couldn&amp;#8217;t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam&amp;#8217;s Doncaster home.&lt;/p&gt;
  3783. &lt;p&gt;Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.&lt;/p&gt;
  3784. &lt;p&gt;Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  3785. &lt;p&gt;Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out &amp;#8211; and excited for everything to come.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3786. &lt;p&gt;Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  3787. &lt;p&gt;Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.&lt;/p&gt;
  3788. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.&lt;/p&gt;
  3789. &lt;p&gt;“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’&lt;/p&gt;
  3790. &lt;p&gt;“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3791. &lt;p&gt;Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.&lt;/p&gt;
  3792. &lt;p&gt;Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna&amp;#8217;s vegan lifestyle, the show&amp;#8217;s first same sex pairing are still going strong.&lt;/p&gt;
  3793. &lt;p&gt;They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.&lt;/p&gt;
  3794. &lt;p&gt;Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3795. &lt;/div&gt;
  3796. &lt;/div&gt;
  3797. &lt;/div&gt;
  3799.  
  3800.  
  3801.  
  3802. &lt;p&gt;During a romantic dinner, Elliott made an awkward joke about their &lt;span id=&quot;38cf47a8-80db-4f44-9eee-6dc2cc8571be&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; together, which Veronica didn’t appreciate.&lt;/p&gt;
  3803.  
  3804.  
  3805.  
  3806. &lt;p&gt;He had said: &amp;#8220;Well, at least we’ll have a great &lt;span id=&quot;6d5321d5-69f5-4523-b42a-a294ee575180&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;divorce&lt;/span&gt; party when this is all over!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3807.  
  3808.  
  3809.  
  3810. &lt;p&gt;She later told the cameras: “I don’t know if he’s being serious or just saying things to fill the silence, but it’s not working for me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3811.  
  3812.  
  3813.  
  3814. &lt;p&gt;Back in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sydney/&quot;&gt;Sydney&lt;/a&gt;, things didn’t improve.&lt;/p&gt;
  3815.  
  3816.  
  3817.  
  3818. &lt;p&gt;At the first dinner party, Elliott’s social nature clashed with Veronica’s more reserved personality.&lt;/p&gt;
  3819.  
  3820.  
  3821.  
  3822. &lt;p&gt;When he attempted to lighten the mood with jokes, Veronica became visibly irritated, rolling her eyes and whispering to some of the other brides.&lt;/p&gt;
  3823.  
  3824.  
  3825.  
  3826. &lt;p&gt;Their tension didn’t go unnoticed, with fellow contestant Jade later saying: “They just don’t seem to be on the same page.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3827.  
  3828.  
  3829.  
  3830. &lt;p&gt;By the time the first commitment ceremony arrived, the experts were already questioning whether they had a future together.&lt;/p&gt;
  3831.  
  3832.  
  3833.  
  3834. &lt;p&gt;Veronica admitted she was struggling to connect, while Elliott defended himself, insisting he was putting in the effort.&lt;/p&gt;
  3835.  
  3836.  
  3837.  
  3838. &lt;p&gt;In a surprising twist, both decided to stay in the experiment &amp;#8211; though it was clear that their journey was going to be far from smooth sailing.&lt;/p&gt;
  3839.

  3882. &lt;p&gt;Melissa Wilband, 28, had denied killing four-month-old Lexi Wilband, who died from a bleed on the brain. &lt;/p&gt;

  3893.  
  3894. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bristol/&quot;&gt;Bristol&lt;/a&gt; Crown &lt;span id=&quot;e2e924b8-2709-4861-8b9b-1449b4abe672&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/span&gt; was told the baby collapsed at home in Newent in the Forest of Dean and died six days later.&lt;/p&gt;
  3895.  
  3896.  
  3897.  
  3898. &lt;p&gt;Lexi had suffered a bleed on the brain that was likely caused by someone &amp;#8220;shaking her violently&amp;#8221; on more than one occasion.&lt;/p&gt;
  3899.  
  3900.  
  3901.  
  3902. &lt;p&gt;Wilband&amp;#8217;s boyfriend at the time, Jack Wheeler, had also been charged with manslaughter and causing or allowing the death of a child. He was not Lexi&amp;#8217;s biological father.&lt;/p&gt;
  3903.  
  3904.  
  3905.  
  3906. &lt;p&gt;However, after both gave evidence in court, the Crown Prosecution Service offered no evidence for the manslaughter charge for 31-year-old Wheeler and the charge was removed.&lt;/p&gt;
  3907.  
  3908.  
  3909.  
  3910. &lt;p&gt;A jury found him not guilty on Wednesday of a charge of causing or allowing the death of a child.&lt;/p&gt;
  3911.  
  3912.  
  3913.  
  3914. &lt;p&gt;Wilband, meanwhile, was convicted of manslaughter.&lt;/p&gt;
  3915.  
  3916.  
  3917.  
  3918. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Lexi was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital where Wilband claimed she was in her bouncer chair when she cried, went floppy then stopped breathing.&lt;/p&gt;
  3919.  
  3920.  
  3921.  
  3922. &lt;p&gt;The baby was then transferred to Bristol Children&amp;#8217;s Hospital where the decision was made to switch off her life support.&lt;/p&gt;
  3923.  
  3924.  
  3925.  
  3926. &lt;p&gt;Jane Osborne KC, prosecuting, said: &amp;#8220;Ms Wilband knew that Lexi might die during the night but she didn&amp;#8217;t stay by her bedside.&lt;/p&gt;
  3927.  
  3928.  
  3929.  
  3930. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A staff nurse held Lexi&amp;#8217;s hand through the night and remained with her.&lt;/p&gt;
  3931.  
  3932.  
  3933.  
  3934. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On the morning of April 18, Lexi seemed to have longer pauses in her breathing. Ms Wilband was told to attend the ward.&lt;/p&gt;
  3935.  
  3936.  
  3937.  
  3938. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She arrived just after Lexi had ceased to show any signs of life and had stopped breathing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3939.  
  3940.  
  3941.  
  3942. &lt;p&gt;The court was told Wilband had told Wheeler, 31, throughout her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pregnancy/&quot;&gt;pregnancy&lt;/a&gt; that he was Lexi&amp;#8217;s biological dad.&lt;/p&gt;
  3943.  
  3944.  
  3945.  
  3946. &lt;p&gt;But she had actually conceived the baby in early 2019 when she and Wheeler were not together.&lt;/p&gt;
  3947.  
  3948.  
  3949.  
  3950. &lt;p&gt;Ms Osborne said: &amp;#8220;When Melissa Wilband was still pregnant with Lexi, following some queries about the paternity, she presented a document which purported to be a paternity test.&lt;/p&gt;
  3951.  
  3952.  
  3953.  
  3954. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It declared that Jack Wheeler was the father of the unborn baby. This was obviously not a genuine document.&lt;/p&gt;
  3955.  
  3956.  
  3957.  
  3958. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The most obvious fact was the fact that the word &amp;#8216;father&amp;#8217; was spelt &amp;#8216;farther&amp;#8217; which would have been obvious to anybody who knew how to spell it properly.&lt;/p&gt;
  3959.  
  3960.  
  3961.  
  3962. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Looking at that document exacerbated concerns of Jack Wheeler and his parents. Very soon after Lexi was born, Jack Wheeler ensured that Melissa Wilband submitted samples for a proper test.&lt;/p&gt;
  3963.  
  3964.  
  3965.  
  3966. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The genuine test showed that he was not the father of Lexi. After the results of this, Mr Wheeler and Ms Wilband nearly split up but Ms Wilband persuaded Mr Wheeler that he should stay with her.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3967.  
  3968.  
  3969.  
  3970. &lt;p&gt;Jurors heard Wheeler moved in with Wilband during the Covid lockdown in February 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  3971.  
  3972.  
  3973.  
  3974. &lt;p&gt;The couple, described as regular cocaine users, lived in squalor with every kitchen surface covered in food and utensils.&lt;/p&gt;
  3975.  
  3976.  
  3977.  
  3978. &lt;p&gt;On April 12, 2020, Wilband phoned emergency crews, with paramedics finding Lexi unresponsive on the floor when they arrived.&lt;/p&gt;
  3979.  
  3980.  
  3981.  
  3982. &lt;p&gt;While paramedics asked her questions, the mum rolled cigarettes and used her mobile.&lt;/p&gt;
  3983.  
  3984.  
  3985.  
  3986. &lt;p&gt;When she was asked if she would like to hold her daughter before she was intubated, Wilband declined, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/courts&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  3987.  
  3988.  
  3989.  
  3990. &lt;p&gt;In a prepared statement, Wheeler told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; that Lexi &amp;#8220;suddenly stopped crying and went floppy in his arms&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3991.  
  3992.  
  3993.  
  3994. &lt;p&gt;A post-mortem gave Lexi&amp;#8217;s cause of death as bleeding to the brain, caused by a non-accidental traumatic event such as someone &amp;#8220;shaking her violently&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3995.  
  3996.  
  3997.  
  3998. &lt;p&gt;Further tests found the areas of bleeding in Lexi&amp;#8217;s eyes were &amp;#8220;too numerous to count&amp;#8221;, jurors heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  3999.  
  4000.  
  4001.  
  4002. &lt;p&gt;Wilband was bailed by the court and is due to be sentenced on 22 May at Bristol Crown Court.&lt;/p&gt;

  4023. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GARY NEVILLE joked that Jamie Carragher was too &amp;#8220;upset&amp;#8221; to be on camera following the news that Trent Alexander-Arnold is nearing an Anfield exit.&lt;/p&gt;
  4024.  
  4025.  
  4026.  
  4027. &lt;p&gt;Neville teased Carragher live on Sky Sports ahead of their coverage of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34142959/premier-league-live-scores-liverpool-everton-alisson-out/&quot;&gt;Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4038.  
  4039. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231880&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/trent-alexander-arnold-liverpool-looks-984282921.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool looks on.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231880&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Neville was discussing Trent Alexander-Arnold&amp;#8217;s proposed move to Real Madrid[/caption]
  4040.  
  4041.  
  4042.  
  4043. &lt;p&gt;Former Manchester United hero Neville, 50, never shies away from the opportunity to poke fun at pal and fellow broadcaster Carragher, and he leapt at the chance to tease him about Alexander-Arnold&amp;#8217;s proposed Real Madrid switch.&lt;/p&gt;
  4044.  
  4045.  
  4046.  
  4047. &lt;p&gt;Alexander-Arnold is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34034958/liverpool-trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-transfer-agreement/&quot;&gt;reportedly on the verge of joining Spanish giants Real Madrid on a free transfer&lt;/a&gt; at the end of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  4048.  
  4049.  
  4050.  
  4051. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; full-back is out of contract in the summer and looks set to call time on his spell with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; after winning every major trophy on offer to him.&lt;/p&gt;
  4052.  
  4053.  
  4054.  
  4055. &lt;p&gt;And Carragher, a former Liverpool player and fan, is understandably upset to see one of the Reds&amp;#8217; best players leave the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  4056.  
  4057.  
  4058.  
  4059. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on the matter on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky-sports/&quot;&gt;Sky Sports&lt;/a&gt;, Neville beckoned Carragher over to the camera and said: &amp;#8220;Go on get him over there. Here he is. Get him on. &lt;/p&gt;
  4060.  
  4061.  
  4062.  
  4063. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I understand that Liverpool fans are a little bit hurt about Trent, but I think if you&amp;#8217;re outside of Liverpool, we&amp;#8217;d have been the same at United, we got used to it.&lt;/p&gt;
  4064.  
  4065.  
  4066.  
  4067. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Liverpool fans got used to it all those years ago when Steve McManaman left, Micheal Owen left&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  4068.  
  4069.  
  4070.  
  4071. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-beckham/&quot;&gt;David Beckham&lt;/a&gt; left &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruud-van-nistelrooy/&quot;&gt;Ruud Van Nistelrooy&lt;/a&gt; did, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cristiano-ronaldo/&quot;&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8230; they all left to go to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1250296/real-madrid/&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt;. It&amp;#8217;s a compelling club.&lt;/p&gt;
  4072.  
  4073.  
  4074.  
  4075. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231908&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/michael-owen-real-madrid-celebrates-983424877.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Michael Owen of Real Madrid celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231908&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;627&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Michael Owen left Liverpool to join Real Madrid in 2004[/caption]

  4080.  
  4081.  
  4082.  
  4083. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4084.  
  4085.  
  4086.  
  4087. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I think ultimately, this man here [Carragher] that&amp;#8217;s just arrived, he&amp;#8217;s a little bit upset about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/trent-alexander-arnold/&quot;&gt;Trent Alexander-Arnold&lt;/a&gt; potentially going to Real Madrid. But it looks like it&amp;#8217;s going to happen.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4088.  
  4089.  
  4090.  
  4091. &lt;p&gt;However, Carragher was never going to let Neville get away with a little dig without having a pop himself.&lt;/p&gt;

  4127. &lt;p&gt;That breaks down to around £240k a week &amp;#8211; a tasty rise on his weekly £180k at Liverpool.&lt;/p&gt;
  4128.  
  4129.  
  4130.  
  4131. &lt;p&gt;He is also set to take home a lucrative signing-on fee.&lt;/p&gt;
  4132.  
  4133.  
  4134.

  4150. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;JACK GREALISH fought back tears in an emotional tribute to his brother Keelan, who passed away 25 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  4151.  
  4152.  
  4153.  
  4154. &lt;p&gt;Grealish, 29, scored his first Premier League goal since December 16, 2023 as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34232054/man-city-leicester-jack-grealish-omar-marmoush-match-report/&quot;&gt;Man City beat Leicester 2-0 on Wednesday night&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; scoring on a memorable date for the winger and his family.&lt;/p&gt;

  4167.  
  4168.  
  4169.  
  4170. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18151692/jack-grealish-tribute-baby-brother-anniversary-death/&quot;&gt;Grealish and his family lost his brother Keelan on April 2, 2000&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; so it was fitting that the 39-time &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; international would end his goal drought on the 25th anniversary of his death.&lt;/p&gt;
  4171.  
  4172.  
  4173.  
  4174. &lt;p&gt;Birmingham-born Grealish couldn&amp;#8217;t help but get emotional when talking to the media about his performance and what it meant to score it on such an important evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  4175.  
  4176.  
  4177.  
  4178. &lt;p&gt;Choking up, he said: &amp;#8220;I felt like I deserved to play tonight and I was just happy. It was a nice day because my little brother passed away 25 years ago today.&lt;/p&gt;
  4179.  
  4180.  
  4181.  
  4182. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So this day is always hard in the family. My mum and dad were here and I think this day is always difficult in the family so to score and to win is brilliant.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4183.  
  4184.  
  4185.  
  4186. &lt;p&gt;Grealish also took to social media to pay tribute to Keelan, posting a picture of his celebration and one of his baby brother&amp;#8217;s grave.&lt;/p&gt;
  4187.  
  4188.  
  4189.  
  4190. &lt;p&gt;He wrote alongside the upload: &amp;#8220;With me always, especially this day. That was for you Keelan&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4191.  
  4192.  
  4193.  
  4194. &lt;p&gt;His comments were flooded with messages of support from team-mates and fellow pros such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/morgan-rogers/&quot;&gt;Morgan Rogers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/oleksandr-zinchenko/&quot;&gt;Oleksandr Zinchenko&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jacob-ramsey/&quot;&gt;Jacob Ramsey&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/john-terry/&quot;&gt;John Terry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4195.  
  4196.  
  4197.  
  4198. &lt;p&gt;Keelan was just nine months old when he passed away from cot death when Jack was four.&lt;/p&gt;
  4199.  
  4200.  
  4201.  
  4202. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233156&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 427px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/NINTCHDBPICT000491446561.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=417&quot; alt=&quot;Photo of baby Keelan Grealish.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233156&quot; width=&quot;417&quot; height=&quot;222&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Twitter&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Grealish&amp;#8217;s brother Keelan died on April 2, 2000[/caption]
  4203.  
  4204.  
  4205.  
  4206. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233155&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 550px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/man-city-star-jack-grealish-723562779.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=540&quot; alt=&quot;Photo of Keelan Daniel Grealish's gravestone with flowers and cherubs.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233155&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram @jackgrealish&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Grealish shared a photo of his brother&amp;#8217;s grave[/caption]
  4207.  
  4208.  
  4209.  
  4210. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not the first time that Grealish has paid tribute to his brother, doing so when he scored his first senior goal while on loan at Notts County in the 2013-14 season.&lt;/p&gt;
  4211.  
  4212.  
  4213.  
  4214. &lt;p&gt;He did the same in November 2018 while playing for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196670/aston-villa/&quot;&gt;Aston Villa&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; that time dedicating his goal in a 4-2 victory over Birmingham City to his sibling.&lt;/p&gt;

  4235.  
  4236.  
  4237.  
  4238. &lt;p&gt;After that game, the three-time Premier League champion was targeted by a sick troll who taunted him about Keelan’s death.&lt;/p&gt;
  4239.  
  4240.  
  4241.  
  4242. &lt;p&gt;The troll &amp;#8211; Alfie Perkins &amp;#8211; was later fined after being convicted of sending offensive communications.&lt;/p&gt;
  4243.  
  4244.  
  4245.  
  4246. &lt;p&gt;Jack’s dad Kevin has previously spoken about the trauma of Keelan’s death too.&lt;/p&gt;
  4247.  
  4248.  
  4249.  
  4250. &lt;p&gt;He said: “He was only nine months old, he was a little angel and I was devastated. We all were.&lt;/p&gt;
  4251.  
  4252.  
  4253.  
  4254. &lt;p&gt;“Jack was only a kid himself back then, but he still remembers Keelan and he still thinks about him with everything he achieves.&lt;/p&gt;
  4255.  
  4256.  
  4257.  
  4258. &lt;p&gt;“We still miss Keelan and still think about him &amp;#8211; you never ever get over losing a child &amp;#8211; but we are so grateful and lucky that we are blessed with Jack, his brother Kevan and his little sisters Holly and Kiera.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4259.  
  4260.  
  4261.  
  4262. &lt;p&gt;Grealish &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31277557/jack-grealish-sasha-attwood-seen-first-time-baby/&quot;&gt;welcomed his own child for the first time in October&lt;/a&gt;, becoming a dad after partner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sasha-attwood/&quot;&gt;Sasha Attwood&lt;/a&gt; gave birth to their baby girl Mila.&lt;/p&gt;
  4263.  
  4264.  
  4265.  
  4266. &lt;p&gt;The £100million-man &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33281480/jack-grealish-difficult-year-daughter-city/&quot;&gt;said that 2024 was the &amp;#8220;the most difficult year of his life&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; back in February after his struggles on the pitch with Man City.&lt;/p&gt;
  4267.  
  4268.  
  4269.  
  4270. &lt;p&gt;But his goal against Leicester has brought an end to a 473-day stint without a league goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  4271.  
  4272.  
  4273.  
  4274. &lt;p&gt;His guided finish opened up the scoring for Man City before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/omar-marmoush/&quot;&gt;Omar Marmoush&lt;/a&gt; doubled the lead for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot;&gt;Pep Guardiola&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s side before half-time.&lt;/p&gt;

  4306.  
  4307.  
  4308.  
  4309. &lt;p&gt;A REMORSELESS, violent, mentally ­unstable al-Qaeda-trained terrorist with a deranged hatred of Jews, Christians and moderate Muslims.&lt;/p&gt;
  4310.

  4314.  
  4315.  
  4316.  
  4317. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233281&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 931px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2e65575e-eb8f-4370-808d-5d1e27e17326.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=921&quot; alt=&quot;Photo of Haroon Rashid Aswat, a terrorism suspect.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233281&quot; width=&quot;921&quot; height=&quot;646&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Terrorist Haroon Aswat is set to walk free in Britain despite cops saying he remains a risk&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4318.  
  4319.  
  4320.  
  4321. &lt;p&gt;Not, you would imagine, a prime ­candidate to be let loose on our streets.&lt;/p&gt;
  4322.  
  4323.  
  4324.  
  4325. &lt;p&gt;You’d be wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  4326.  
  4327.  
  4328.  
  4329. &lt;p&gt;As recently as 2022 Haroon Aswat was in a US jail, issuing death threats and proudly telling a British shrink: “I am a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/terrorism/page/110/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;terrorist&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4330.  
  4331.  
  4332.  
  4333. &lt;p&gt;Just three years later he is back here and, after hospital treatment, supposedly safe to head home to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/yorkshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4334.  
  4335.  
  4336.  
  4337. &lt;p&gt;He will not even be under surveillance.&lt;/p&gt;
  4338.

  4346.

  4387.  
  4388.  
  4389. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IF Attorney General Richard Hermer had his way we’d all spend every Thursday night banging pots and pans for the ECHR.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4390.  
  4391.  
  4392.  
  4393. &lt;p&gt;To him, this foreign court notorious for trampling on our ­sovereignty and security is a cause for “national ­celebration”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4394.  
  4395.  
  4396.  
  4397. &lt;p&gt;We wonder if &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt; now regrets handing a plum Government job to this unelected human rights obsessive.&lt;/p&gt;
  4398.  
  4399.  
  4400.  
  4401. &lt;p&gt;Especially with Hermer also pompously declaring that criticism of judges is “entirely unacceptable”, especially from MPs in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/house-of-commons/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Commons&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4402.  
  4403.  
  4404.  
  4405. &lt;p&gt;Recent Commons critics of judges include one Keir Starmer, over the asylum wrongly granted to a family of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/palestine/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gazans&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4406.

  4410.  
  4411.  
  4412.  
  4413. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long can Sir Keir put up with this loose cannon, who after an ignoble career spent opposing British interests has now effectively attacked him personally?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4414.  
  4415.  
  4416.

  4420.  
  4421. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE Heathrow blackout and shutdown was already a global embarrassment.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4422.  
  4423.  
  4424.  
  4425. &lt;p&gt;Now we learn bosses were warned days earlier about the risk of power cuts.&lt;/p&gt;
  4426.  
  4427.  
  4428.  
  4429. &lt;p&gt;Airlines’ representative &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34210793/heathrow-boss-mps-fire-outage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nigel Wicking raised concerns about the “overall resilience of the airport”&lt;/a&gt; after thieves stole cabling and knocked out runway lights.&lt;/p&gt;
  4430.  
  4431.  
  4432.  
  4433. &lt;p&gt;No, those thefts aren’t related to the electricity substation catching fire.&lt;/p&gt;
  4434.  
  4435.  
  4436.  
  4437. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But why DOES the operation of Britain’s major international airport appear constantly to be hanging by a thread?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  4454. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PETER Andre&amp;#8217;s wife has shared a rare glimpse of their youngest baby as the tot celebrates turning one years old.&lt;/p&gt;
  4455.  
  4456.  
  4457.  
  4458. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesun.co.uk/who/peter-andre/&quot;&gt;Peter &lt;/a&gt;and his doctor wife Emily have remained private when it comes to revealing the identities of their children and details surrounding them but Emily shared a sneak peak at their youngest child, Arabella.&lt;/p&gt;
  4459.  
  4460.  
  4461.

  4463.

  4465.  
  4466. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233171&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/emily-andre-shares-rare-snaps-984225234.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;Baby girl sitting in front of Arabella's first birthday balloon arch and teddy bear.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233171&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Arabella is one years old[/caption]
  4467.  
  4468.  
  4469.  
  4470. &lt;p&gt;Emily took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; today to pay tribute to her daughter on her very first birthday.&lt;/p&gt;
  4471.  
  4472.  
  4473.  
  4474. &lt;p&gt;She uploaded a &lt;span id=&quot;50089c6f-e45b-4cdc-aaea-194587a185e1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;snap&lt;/span&gt; of a lavish birthday set-up for the tot who could be seen in front of it with her back to the camera to carefully conceal her face.&lt;/p&gt;
  4475.  
  4476.  
  4477.  
  4478. &lt;p&gt;Emily wrote alongside the snap: &amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;How is our baby 1 already?!&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;@peterandre&lt;span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4479.  
  4480.  
  4481.  
  4482. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;span&gt;Time, please slow down. From teeny tiny to full of personality — Happy Birthday to our very own Baby Belle&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4483.  
  4484.  
  4485.  
  4486. &lt;p&gt;Following Arabella&amp;#8217;s birth, Peter confessed that both he and Emily were adamant &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33049275/peter-andre-vasectomy-fears-wife-emily-done-having-kids/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;they would have no more children.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4487.  
  4488.  
  4489.  
  4490. &lt;p&gt;Peter and Emily got married in 2015 and have Amelia, nine, Theo, seven, and Arabella.&lt;/p&gt;
  4491.  
  4492.  
  4493.  
  4494. &lt;p&gt;The Mysterious Girl singer is also dad to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, from his previous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-price/&quot;&gt;Katie Price&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4495.  
  4496.  
  4497.  
  4498. &lt;p&gt;Despite being convinced they won&amp;#8217;t have more children, Peter is yet to make up his mind about having a vasectomy in the &lt;span id=&quot;40f76bfb-38b6-4e51-b22b-cd5cbe78908c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4499.  
  4500.  
  4501.  
  4502. &lt;p&gt;Admitting he was naive before reading up on it, Peter, 51, assumed the minor op changed the sound of a man&amp;#8217;s voice.&lt;/p&gt;
  4503.  
  4504.  
  4505.  
  4506. &lt;p&gt;He said on the Netmums podcast: &amp;#8220;I then went and started asking people who&amp;#8217;ve had it done, and they were like, &amp;#8216;It&amp;#8217;s horrific. It&amp;#8217;s this, it&amp;#8217;s that&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4530. &lt;p&gt;Pressed on whether or not he&amp;#8217;d now go ahead and get it done, he continued: &amp;#8220;Probably not now. Look, I&amp;#8217;m not gonna lie, I&amp;#8217;ve completely bottled it. It&amp;#8217;s freaked me out.&lt;/p&gt;

  4538. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But it&amp;#8217;s going to take some guts to do and I need to man up. I need to actually just go, you know what? Get over it and do it. But I&amp;#8217;m just struggling a bit at the moment with the thought.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4583. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GABRIEL&amp;#8217;S wife Gabrielle Figueiredo has given a concerning update on the Arsenal star&amp;#8217;s injury.&lt;/p&gt;
  4584.  
  4585.  
  4586.  
  4587. &lt;p&gt;The Brazilian, 27, went down &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34202109/arsenal-gabriel-injury-fulham-real-madrid/&quot;&gt;clutching his hamstring&lt;/a&gt; barely 15 minutes into his side&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34203000/arsenal-fulham-saka-merino-premier-league&quot;&gt;2-1 win over Fulham&lt;/a&gt; on Tuesday night.&lt;/p&gt;

  4603. &lt;p&gt;After receiving treatment on the pitch, the centre-back shook his head as he limped off.&lt;/p&gt;
  4604.  
  4605.  
  4606.  
  4607. &lt;p&gt;His wife Gabrielle attended a screening of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amazon/&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt; Prime Video&amp;#8217;s Married To The Game season two on Wednesday afternoon.&lt;/p&gt;
  4608.  
  4609.  
  4610.  
  4611. &lt;p&gt;The show follows a selection of Premier League stars and their wives, including Gabriel&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt; team-mate Jorginho.&lt;/p&gt;
  4612.  
  4613.  
  4614.  
  4615. &lt;p&gt;While speaking to the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14564237/Gabriel-wife-Gabrielle-Figueiredo-Arsenal-star-hamstring-injury-Fulham.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mail&lt;/a&gt; at the event, Gabrielle was asked about how it can be tricky for players&amp;#8217; families when they go through issues on the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  4616.  
  4617.  
  4618.  
  4619. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s difficult. I think the perfect example is now, because he got injured yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  4620.  
  4621.  
  4622.  
  4623. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So that is why he&amp;#8217;s not here with me today. He would love to be here. I would love to be here with him.&lt;/p&gt;
  4624.  
  4625.  
  4626.  
  4627. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yesterday we got the news he got injured, and now he is with the doctor having scans.&lt;/p&gt;
  4628.  
  4629.  
  4630.  
  4631. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So this is the real life, and we never expected anything like this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4632.

  4640.  
  4641.  
  4642.  
  4643. &lt;p&gt;On how she supports her man in times of adversity, Gabrielle added: &amp;#8220;I think the only thing that we could do is being together and be the assurance for each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  4644.  
  4645.  
  4646.  
  4647. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That is the thing that I (will) do when I arrive home today. And yeah, it&amp;#8217;s not easy, but we try our best to create this bond together every day, in every difficult moment.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4671. &lt;p&gt;In addition to Gabriel, Arsenal also lost Jurrien Timber to injury during the victory over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225801/fulham/&quot;&gt;Fulham&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4672.

  4676.  
  4677.  
  4678.  
  4679. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Gabi felt something in his hamstring. We don’t know how big that is.&lt;/p&gt;
  4680.  
  4681.  
  4682.  
  4683. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With Jurrien he was already struggling early. He couldn’t continue.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4684.  
  4685.  
  4686.  
  4687. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal now face a nervous wait for further updates ahead of their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/champions-league/&quot;&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt; quarter-final first leg against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1250296/real-madrid/&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt; next Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  4688.  
  4689.  
  4690.  
  4691. &lt;p&gt;In the meantime they will travel to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196662/everton/&quot;&gt;Everton&lt;/a&gt; this Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  4692.

  4694.  
  4695. &lt;p&gt;Gunners fans have been boosted by the return to fitness of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bukayo-saka/&quot;&gt;Bukayo Saka&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4722. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;BEN Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff are still living together despite their split, as ‘neither can afford to move out.’&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4723.  
  4724.  
  4725.  
  4726. &lt;p&gt;The couple, who have been together for the past 12 years, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33735511/inside-ben-cohen-kristina-split-tension-ex-company-debt/&quot;&gt;announced last month that they were splitting up.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4727.

  4735.  
  4736.  
  4737.  
  4738. &lt;p&gt;They met on the 2013 series of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot;&gt;Strictly Come Dancing&lt;/a&gt; when &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ben-cohen/&quot;&gt;Ben&lt;/a&gt; was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33871672/ben-cohen-ex-wife-abby-kristina-rihanoff-split/&quot;&gt;still married to his wife Abby&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4739.  
  4740.  
  4741.  
  4742. &lt;p&gt;But despite their split, the couple, who share daughter Mila, nine, remain living together as they aren’t able to afford to move out.&lt;/p&gt;
  4743.  
  4744.  
  4745.  
  4746. &lt;p&gt;A source said: “The split is reasonably amicable and they are putting co-parenting first, but who would want to live with their ex?&lt;/p&gt;
  4747.  
  4748.  
  4749.  
  4750. &lt;p&gt;“They owe a lot of &lt;span id=&quot;3889ffa6-57d2-4ee4-a2aa-be09e291dea3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt; after serious &lt;span id=&quot;f1d02204-ca68-462c-a481-a13dc2620ad0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;business&lt;/span&gt; difficulties and it seems that even when the house sale goes through they aren&amp;#8217;t going to come out with all that much.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4751.  
  4752.  
  4753.  
  4754. &lt;p&gt;They continued to tell MailOnline: “At that point they will try to fund two separate much smaller places to live going forward. It will be a huge downsize for them both.&lt;/p&gt;
  4755.  
  4756.  
  4757.  
  4758. &lt;p&gt;“But for now they are having to carry on living together because they have to look after their finances really carefully. They simply can&amp;#8217;t afford a different solution.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4759.  
  4760.  
  4761.  
  4762. &lt;p&gt;It comes as Kristina and Ben &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34029712/ben-cohen-kristina-rihanoff-sell-home-split-money-struggles/&quot;&gt;sold their family home for £1.75million&lt;/a&gt; following their split amid money troubles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4763.  
  4764.  
  4765.  
  4766. &lt;p&gt;The couple were living in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33748681/inside-ben-cohen-kristina-house-split/&quot;&gt;a plush five-bedroom pad in Sywell&lt;/a&gt;, Northamptonshire, with their daughter Mila, with the house’s huge garden coming complete with a zipline.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4767.  
  4768.  
  4769.  
  4770. &lt;p&gt;The property, which was bought by the couple for £950,000 in 2016, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/30608582/ben-cohen-kristina-rihanoff-put-house-up-for-sale/&quot;&gt;was put up for sale last September&lt;/a&gt; after the pair admitted they were having trouble financially.&lt;/p&gt;

  4794. &lt;p&gt;Just six months later, they’ve decided to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33725365/kristina-rihanoff-ben-cohen-split-strictly-curse/&quot;&gt;call time on their relationship&lt;/a&gt; as they continue to sell some of their shared assets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4795.  
  4796.  
  4797.  
  4798. &lt;p&gt;According to DailyMail, the pair have now successfully found a buyer for their home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4799.  
  4800.  
  4801.  
  4802. &lt;p&gt;It’s believed the pair are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33737120/ben-cohen-kristina-rihanoff-company-debt-revealed/&quot;&gt;over £1million in debt in their businesses&lt;/a&gt;, with Kristina previously explaining the pair had “invested everything we’ve ever had” into their company Soo Yoga Group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4803.  
  4804.  
  4805.  
  4806. &lt;p&gt;Their businesses have not filed their finances for the past four years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  4817. &lt;div&gt;
  4818. &lt;p&gt;The couple had met when they were partnered for the 11th series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, and fell in love.&lt;/p&gt;
  4819. &lt;p&gt;This was despite Cohen being married at the time to Abby Bray.&lt;/p&gt;
  4820. &lt;p&gt;Cohen and Rihanoff share daughter Mila, and had planned to tie the knot in Tuscany or Oxfordshire.&lt;/p&gt;
  4821. &lt;p&gt;He told Hello! Magazine in 2023: &amp;#8220;Over the last nine years we&amp;#8217;ve been through the wringer.&lt;/p&gt;
  4822. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To support each other through difficult times in business is the ultimate test in a relationship. &lt;/p&gt;
  4823. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve watched her flourish, from her becoming a mum to growing as a businesswoman, and it has strengthened our bond.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4824. &lt;p&gt;The pair previously revealed they got engaged during a sun-soaked Maldives getaway in 2022.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4825. &lt;/div&gt;
  4826. &lt;/div&gt;
  4827. &lt;/div&gt;
  4829.  
  4830.  
  4831.  
  4832. &lt;p&gt;The extent of their financial woes became public knowledge last September, when Kristina was hauled into &lt;span id=&quot;77918599-cace-4e71-b3ad-415a0e35a170&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;court&lt;/span&gt; for &lt;span id=&quot;d37c268d-14b3-4b83-ac15-ea83ca881758&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/span&gt; without &lt;span id=&quot;e820936f-e9fa-4023-9000-b0d75c02c3c8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;insurance&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4833.  
  4834.  
  4835.  
  4836. &lt;p&gt;During the appearance, Ben took to the stand and blamed her lack of insurance as human error on his part – and admitted they were both crippled with debts from their multiple businesses.&lt;/p&gt;
  4837.

  4862. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;FOOD factory workers are fearing for their jobs after a £1.2billion merger between two ready-meal giants.&lt;/p&gt;
  4863.  
  4864.  
  4865.  
  4866. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23776129/meal-deal-threat-sandwich-makers-vote-strike/&quot;&gt;Greencore&lt;/a&gt;, the UK’s biggest maker of sandwiches, yesterday struck terms for a merger with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30532713/factory-pay-row-strikes-unions-tesco-aldi-waitrose-supermarket/&quot;&gt;Bakkavor&lt;/a&gt; the maker of hummus dips, pizzas and desserts.&lt;/p&gt;
  4867.  
  4868.  
  4869.  
  4870. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232534&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 797px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/low-resolution-warning-pr-handout-779187400.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=787&quot; alt=&quot;A triple-decker sandwich with shrimp, arugula, and mayonnaise on whole-wheat bread.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232534&quot; width=&quot;787&quot; height=&quot;590&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Greencore&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Greencore, the UK’s biggest maker of sandwiches, yesterday struck terms for a merger with Bakkavor[/caption]
  4871.  
  4872.  
  4873.  
  4874. &lt;p&gt;The deal will create a food colossus with £4billion of revenues from selling salads, sushi, soups, quiches and meals to almost all our supermarkets.&lt;/p&gt;
  4875.  
  4876.  
  4877.  
  4878. &lt;p&gt;Shares in Bakkavor jumped by 7.87 per cent to 191.8p while Greencore’s shares also edged up by 0.90 per cent to 180.20p.&lt;/p&gt;
  4879.  
  4880.  
  4881.  
  4882. &lt;p&gt;The takeover of Bakkavor will result in a £600million payday for the “Bakka brothers” — the nickname for Lýdur and Ágúst Gudmundsson, who had run the business until three years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  4883.  
  4884.  
  4885.  
  4886. &lt;p&gt;But workers have been put on notice that the deal will result in cost-cutting after the companies said they believed there “is potential for substantial synergies resulting from a combination”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4887.  
  4888.  
  4889.  
  4890. &lt;p&gt;Eamon O’Hearn, GMB union national officer, said: “GMB is calling for a commitment to no factory closures and no job losses.” Bakkavor already has tense labour relations — and strikes lasted six months at its factory in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/lincolnshire/&quot;&gt;Spalding, Lincs&lt;/a&gt;, before a deal on pay last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  4891.  
  4892.  
  4893.  
  4894. &lt;p&gt;Greencore employs 13,300 people while Bakkavor employs 17,200 and both firms face significantly higher staffing costs as a result of the Budget’s changes to employers’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34209136/labour-national-insurance-hike-wages-store-closures-pensions/&quot;&gt;NI contributions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4895.  
  4896.  
  4897.  
  4898. &lt;p&gt;The deal will undoubtedly trigger an investigation from the Competition and Markets Authority because Greencore and Bakkavor have overlapping businesses and a shared customer base.&lt;/p&gt;
  4899.  
  4900.  
  4901.  
  4902. &lt;p&gt;It will be one of the first merger tests for the competition watchdog since it was given an explicit growth mission by the Government.&lt;/p&gt;
  4903.  
  4904.  
  4905.  
  4906. &lt;p&gt;There are concerns the new firms could push up prices.&lt;/p&gt;
  4907.  
  4908.  
  4909.  
  4910. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;CAUGHT SHORTBREAD&lt;/h2&gt;
  4911.  
  4912.  
  4913.  
  4914. &lt;p&gt;WALKER’S SHORTBREAD has said &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34203103/trump-trade-tariffs-british-consumers-economy-usa/&quot;&gt;US tariffs&lt;/a&gt; will be “devastating” for the 127-year-old biscuit maker.&lt;/p&gt;

  4939.  
  4940.  
  4941.  
  4942. &lt;p&gt;Nicky Walker — from the fourth generation to head the family-owned firm — said they would have to “hope for the best” if slapped with 20 per cent levies.&lt;/p&gt;
  4943.  
  4944.  
  4945.  
  4946. &lt;p&gt;He told us that the Highlands-based company had strategically grown its hefty export business to America in recent years. &lt;/p&gt;
  4947.  
  4948.  
  4949.  
  4950. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/united-states/&quot;&gt;The US&lt;/a&gt; is now worth more than a quarter of its revenues, at some £38million.&lt;/p&gt;
  4951.  
  4952.  
  4953.  
  4954. &lt;p&gt;Mr Walker added: “We don’t have the option of moving our manufacturing out of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/scotland&quot;&gt;Scotland&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  4955.  
  4956.  
  4957.  
  4958. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The provenance of our product is paramount, and we’re proud to be made in Scotland — our tartan packaging screams Scotland. &lt;/p&gt;
  4959.  
  4960.  
  4961.  
  4962. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We can’t just go and start making shortbread in other countries to avoid tariffs.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4963.  
  4964.  
  4965.  
  4966. &lt;p&gt;There are hopes that Trump’s late mother being Scottish might help in trade negotiations, but Mr Walker admits it is a “long shot”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4967.  
  4968.  
  4969.  
  4970. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;PI PROFIT IS SLICED BY HALF&lt;/h2&gt;
  4971.  
  4972.  
  4973.  
  4974. &lt;p&gt;LOW-cost computer maker Raspberry PI has posted a halving in profits in its first year of being a listed company.&lt;/p&gt;
  4975.  
  4976.  
  4977.  
  4978. &lt;p&gt;The firm, held up as a rare British success story, blamed the slide in profits on a hangover from pandemic- related shortages and said it had overcome supply issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  4979.  
  4980.  
  4981.  
  4982. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232544&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/raspberry-pi-ltd-logo-digital-984228953.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Raspberry Pi's London Stock Exchange debut.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232544&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Raspberry PI has posted a halving in profits in its first year of being a listed company[/caption]
  4983.  
  4984.  
  4985.  
  4986. &lt;p&gt;Pre-tax profits fell 57 per cent to £12.6million, but its adjusted earnings of £28.8million were £500,000 ahead of what analysts had predicted.&lt;/p&gt;
  4987.  
  4988.  
  4989.  
  4990. &lt;p&gt;Sales edged 2 per cent down to £201million this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  4991.  
  4992.  
  4993.  
  4994. &lt;p&gt;The&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cambridge/&quot;&gt; Cambridge&lt;/a&gt;-based firm, whose products are meant to teach coding to kids, said it had faced £12.2million in extra costs associated with its listing last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  4995.  
  4996.  
  4997.  
  4998. &lt;p&gt;Boss Eben Upton said that its £542million listing had “undoubtedly extended awareness of Raspberry Pi’s value proposition” and had led to “promising” discussions with equipment manufacturers.&lt;/p&gt;
  4999.  
  5000.  
  5001.  
  5002. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;TESLA HIT THE SKIDS&lt;/h2&gt;
  5003.  
  5004.  
  5005.  
  5006. &lt;p&gt;TESLA has suffered its worst slump in sales in three years as it faces a consumer backlash in Europe due to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/elon-musk&quot;&gt;Elon Musk’&lt;/a&gt;s links to the Trump regime.&lt;/p&gt;
  5007.  
  5008.  
  5009.  
  5010. &lt;p&gt;Vehicle sales fell by 13 per cent in the last quarter, while in Europe registrations tumbled by 43 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  5011.  
  5012.  
  5013.  
  5014. &lt;p&gt;It also faces stiff competition from Chinese rival BYD.&lt;/p&gt;
  5015.  
  5016.  
  5017.  
  5018. &lt;p&gt;However, analysts said the slump was also due to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesla/&quot;&gt;Tesla&lt;/a&gt; factories being impacted by a delayed launch of its revamped Model Y car.&lt;/p&gt;
  5019.  
  5020.  
  5021.  
  5022. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;SHELL TO DRIVE ON DIVERSITY&lt;/h2&gt;
  5023.  
  5024.  
  5025.  
  5026. &lt;p&gt;SHELL might have reacted to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/donald-trump/&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;’s anti-woke agenda by watering down green targets but it is one of a few corporate beasts to still embrace diversity policies.&lt;/p&gt;
  5027.  
  5028.  
  5029.  
  5030. &lt;p&gt;Trump’s elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion policies (DEI) has caused companies ranging from Accenture to Goldman Sachs, Disney, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Boeing And Molson Coors to swiftly abandon or “sunset” diversity targets.&lt;/p&gt;
  5031.  
  5032.  
  5033.  
  5034. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232569&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/logo-shell-plc-rainbow-motif-984224707.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Shell logo and rainbow on an oil storage silo at a refinery.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232569&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Shell is one of a few corporate beasts to still embrace diversity policies[/caption]
  5035.  
  5036.  
  5037.  
  5038. &lt;p&gt;The Trump administration has warned suppliers and recipients of any government funds that they must comply with a ban on DEI programmes or risk losing payments.&lt;/p&gt;
  5039.  
  5040.  
  5041.  
  5042. &lt;p&gt;Many global firms have also deleted web pages referring to their DEI programmes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5043.  
  5044.  
  5045.  
  5046. &lt;p&gt;However, The Sun’s analysis shows Shell still includes targets in its annual report while its boss, Wael Sawan, is still quoted saying “creating the most diverse and inclusive organisation in the world will make us a better company and is going to be a competitive differentiator for us in the energy transition”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5047.  
  5048.  
  5049.  
  5050. &lt;p&gt;BP, which is leaning into Trump’s “drill baby drill” agenda and followed Trump’s renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, is still sticking by its DEI programmes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5051.  
  5052.  
  5053.  
  5054. &lt;p&gt;BP’s boss, Murray Auchincloss, had previously been the oil giant’s “race and ethnicity champion” in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  5055.  
  5056.  
  5057.  
  5058. &lt;p&gt;Both have huge operations in the US.&lt;/p&gt;
  5059.  
  5060.  
  5061.  
  5062. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;MARKET END OF THE PIER&lt;/h2&gt;
  5063.  
  5064.  
  5065.  
  5066. &lt;p&gt;THE leisure group behind the 126-year-old Brighton Palace Pier has become the latest firm to quit London’s junior stock market.&lt;br&gt;Brighton Pier Group – which also owns a number of bars and mini-golf venues – said it is planning to cancel its listing on London’s Aim market, sending shares slumping by nearly 60 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  5067.  
  5068.  
  5069.  
  5070. &lt;p&gt;The firm, chaired by former chairman of Pizza Express and Patisserie Valerie Luke Johnson, said the decision follows a “review of the benefits and drawbacks” of its stock market listing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5071.  
  5072.  
  5073.  
  5074. &lt;p&gt;It marks the latest blow to the Aim market after model train firm Hornby revealed plans last month to go private, blaming regulatory hurdles and costs involved.&lt;/p&gt;
  5075.  
  5076.  
  5077.  
  5078. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme &amp;#8211;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/32897510/sun-club-membership/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot;&gt;Sun Club&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5091. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A BELOVED high street store is shutting its doors sending devastated fans into mourning.&lt;/p&gt;
  5092.  
  5093.  
  5094.  
  5095. &lt;p&gt;The fan-favourite furniture, homeware and gift store is holding a massive sale with reductions of up to 50 per cent as it shuts its doors for good. &lt;/p&gt;
  5096.  
  5097.  
  5098.  
  5099. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231194&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/closed-sign-984275033.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Closed sign in a window.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231194&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A beloved high street store in Leamington is closing down[/caption]
  5100.  
  5101.  
  5102.  
  5103. &lt;p&gt;Located on 64A Regent Street,  Stone The Crown will close for good as its parent company prepares to go into administration.&lt;/p&gt;
  5104.  
  5105.  
  5106.  
  5107. &lt;p&gt;The Leamington-based store put a statement out on its website to inform its loyal fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  5108.  
  5109.  
  5110.  
  5111. &lt;p&gt;They said: &amp;#8220;The time has unfortunately arrived for a closing down sale at Stone the Crows.&lt;/p&gt;
  5112.  
  5113.  
  5114.  
  5115. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes, you read that correctly.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5116.  
  5117.  
  5118.  
  5119. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our company will soon be entering a period of administration, so we’re offering our customers unbelievable discounts first to sell all of our stock in the coming weeks.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5120.  
  5121.  
  5122.  
  5123. &lt;p&gt;Lamenting fans poured out on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  5124.  
  5125.  
  5126.  
  5127. &lt;p&gt;Hundreds of saddened residents took to Facebook in order to express their dismay.&lt;/p&gt;
  5128.  
  5129.  
  5130.  
  5131. &lt;p&gt;The once thriving and popular shop was mourned on the Leamington Spa Noticeboard Facebook page.&lt;/p&gt;

  5154.  
  5155. &lt;p&gt;One said: “This is the best shop ever so many memories growing up so sad to see this.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5156.  
  5157.  
  5158.  
  5159. &lt;p&gt;Another commented: “This is so sad. It’s a Leamington institution.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5160.  
  5161.  
  5162.  
  5163. &lt;p&gt;And another said: “I can’t believe it.&lt;/p&gt;
  5164.  
  5165.  
  5166.  
  5167. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That’s been there a long time now.&lt;/p&gt;
  5168.  
  5169.  
  5170.  
  5171. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Extremely sad news.&lt;/p&gt;
  5172.  
  5173.  
  5174.  
  5175. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Another very good retailer going from Leamington.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5176.  
  5177.  
  5178.  
  5179. &lt;p&gt;The popular store also has branches in Dronfield in Derbyshire, and Braintree in Essex.&lt;/p&gt;
  5180.  
  5181.  
  5182.  
  5183. &lt;p&gt;A member of staff at the Leamington branch said he thought the company would be keeping one of the branches open but not the Leamington branch.&lt;/p&gt;
  5184.  
  5185.  
  5186.  
  5187. &lt;p&gt;He added that the store had been extremely busy due to the closing down sale.&lt;/p&gt;

  5205.  
  5206.  
  5207.  
  5208. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Now, I don&amp;#8217;t want children and my chances of having triplets, I&amp;#8217;ve been told, or twins again are one in ten.&lt;/p&gt;
  5209.  
  5210.  
  5211.  
  5212. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;I don&amp;#8217;t want any more children as it is &amp;#8211; and I certainly don&amp;#8217;t want eight or nine children.&lt;/p&gt;
  5213.  
  5214.  
  5215.  
  5216. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;I have six, I am more than happy with six.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5217.  
  5218.  
  5219.  
  5220. &lt;p&gt;If the NHS experts don&amp;#8217;t give her the green light, the mum will look into going private.&lt;/p&gt;
  5221.  
  5222.  
  5223.  
  5224. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;How amazing is this girl?&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  5225.  
  5226.  
  5227.  
  5228. &lt;p&gt;While the mother does get trolling online, she thanked the majority of the viewers who leave positive comments &amp;#8211; and this clip was no exception.&lt;/p&gt;
  5229.  
  5230.  
  5231.  
  5232. &lt;p&gt;Close to a whopping 100 supportive fans flocked to praise the single mum, with one writing: &amp;#8221;How rude people are. You don’t have to justify yourself to anyone! None of us do! &lt;/p&gt;
  5233.  
  5234.  
  5235.  
  5236. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;You are a great Mum and your children are a credit to you. Go and have a flippin&amp;#8217; nice coffee.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5237.  
  5238.  
  5239.  
  5240. &lt;p&gt;Another chimed in: &amp;#8221;I am constantly saying to my husband ‘how amazing is this girl, I dnt knw how she does it’.&lt;/p&gt;
  5241.  
  5242.  
  5243.  
  5244. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;I get how frustrating it is tho for every troll there r thousands of people who will think u r awesome.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5245.  
  5246.  
  5247.  
  5248. &lt;p&gt;Someone else agreed, commenting: &amp;#8221;What sad people who feel they have the right to ask such personal questions, all I see is a hard working mum who gives their children all their needs, ignore them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5249.  
  5250.  
  5251.  
  5252. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Unhappy and unfulfilled people leave remarks that reflect their life! You’re amazing!&amp;#8221; a fourth reminded.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5264. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;NATHAN BROADHEAD and Liam Delap secured Ipswich’s first win of the year at Champions League-chasing Bournemouth.&lt;/p&gt;
  5265.  
  5266.  
  5267.  
  5268. &lt;p&gt;Town’s first league victory in Dorset for nearly 72 years gave &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kieran-mckenna/&quot;&gt;Kieran McKenna&lt;/a&gt; renewed hope for their survival chances.&lt;/p&gt;

  5285.  
  5286.  
  5287.  
  5288. &lt;p&gt;But the Tractor Boys still have a big job ahead digging their way out of trouble, trailing fourth-bottom Wolves by nine points.&lt;/p&gt;
  5289.  
  5290.  
  5291.  
  5292. &lt;p&gt;Former Everton man Broadhead stunned the home side when he fired his 34th-minute shot through Cherries goalkeeper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kepa-arrizabalaga/&quot;&gt;Kepa Arrizabalaga&lt;/a&gt;’s legs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5293.  
  5294.  
  5295.  
  5296. &lt;p&gt;Then striker &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/liam-delap/&quot;&gt;Delap&lt;/a&gt; showed just why he is being chased by a host of clubs when he lashed home his 11th goal of the campaign on the hour.&lt;/p&gt;
  5297.  
  5298.  
  5299.  
  5300. &lt;p&gt;Brazilian striker &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34109144/evanilson-interview-bournemouth-porto-slovakia/&quot;&gt;Evanilson&lt;/a&gt; did pull a goal back for the Cherries but it was not enough to save them from losing four successive Premier League home games for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;
  5301.  
  5302.  
  5303.  
  5304. &lt;p&gt;Rested &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225846/ipswich-town/&quot;&gt;Ipswich&lt;/a&gt; made six changes from the side that played 18 days ago &amp;#8211; and lost 4-2 at home to Nottingham Forest.&lt;/p&gt;
  5305.  
  5306.  
  5307.  
  5308. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196663/bournemouth/&quot;&gt;Bournemouth&lt;/a&gt; made five changes from the team that saw their Wembley FA Cup semi-final dreams ended by Manchester City on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
  5309.  
  5310.  
  5311.  
  5312. &lt;p&gt;Gaffer Andoni Iraola took out three of his four defenders, bringing back fit-again Adam Smith plus Milos Kerkez and Illia Zabarnyi who had served their FA Cup suspensions.&lt;/p&gt;
  5313.  
  5314.  
  5315.  
  5316. &lt;p&gt;Iraola was desperate to put the spark back into Bournemouth’s Champions League bid after winning just one of their last six league games.&lt;/p&gt;
  5317.  
  5318.  
  5319.  
  5320. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5321.  
  5322.  
  5323.  
  5324. &lt;p&gt;Both teams made a tentative start until, on 15 minutes, Dango Ouattara’s driven cross was cleared off the line by Ipswich’s Dara O’Shea.&lt;/p&gt;
  5325.  
  5326.  
  5327.  
  5328. &lt;p&gt;The hosts were constantly pinging the ball around the visitors’ box without finding the breakthrough centre or pass.&lt;/p&gt;

  5351.  
  5352. &lt;p&gt;When Ouattara tried his luck on 23 minutes the winger’s vicious drive curled the wrong side of the post.&lt;/p&gt;
  5353.  
  5354.  
  5355.  
  5356. &lt;p&gt;Ipswich’s first shot in anger arrived two minutes later when Julio Enciso found himself with a bit of room from a long throw but his drive was blocked by Kerkez.&lt;/p&gt;
  5357.  
  5358.  
  5359.  
  5360. &lt;p&gt;Then Enciso let rip from 30 yards but his handsome long-range effort dipped just over the bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  5361.  
  5362.  
  5363.  
  5364. &lt;p&gt;Antoine Semenyo then tried his luck with a powerful effort which Town goalkeeper Alex Palmer comfortably punched clear.&lt;/p&gt;
  5365.  
  5366.  
  5367.  
  5368. &lt;p&gt;But really the Cherries should have gone ahead on 33 minutes when Alex Scott was left with a simple opportunity but his under-hit effort allowed O’Shea to clear again.&lt;/p&gt;
  5369.  
  5370.  
  5371.  
  5372. &lt;p&gt;And that miss was compounded up the other end 60 seconds later when Broadhead gave the Tractor Boys the lead.&lt;/p&gt;
  5373.  
  5374.  
  5375.  
  5376. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Breaking the deadlock&lt;/h2&gt;
  5377.  
  5378.  
  5379.  
  5380. &lt;p&gt;The home defence allowed Enciso to run at them before he slipped the ball through to Broadhead who simply fired the ball through Kepa’s legs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5381.  
  5382.  
  5383.  
  5384. &lt;p&gt;No wonder the world’s most expensive goalie looked glum having been nut-megged by City’s Omar Marmoush at the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  5385.  
  5386.  
  5387.  
  5388. &lt;p&gt;Blues fans were loving the fact they had taken the lead as a sense of shock and disbelief descended on the Vitality Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
  5389.  
  5390.  
  5391.  
  5392. &lt;p&gt;And there was nearly a shock start for Bournemouth seconds into the second half when Scott’s shot was tipped over the bar by Palmer.&lt;/p&gt;
  5393.  
  5394.  
  5395.  
  5396. &lt;p&gt;This roused the home faithful who next saw Ryan Christie’s tame effort effortlessly saved by the visiting stopper.&lt;/p&gt;
  5397.  
  5398.  
  5399.  
  5400. &lt;p&gt;But Ipswich weren’t going to surrender their precious lead without a fight and instead doubled the score on 60 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5401.  
  5402.  
  5403.  
  5404. &lt;p&gt;Conor Townsend cleverly picked out the unmarked Delap who thumped the ball home from 10 yards.&lt;/p&gt;
  5405.  
  5406.  
  5407.  
  5408. &lt;p&gt;Bournemouth were awarded a penalty two minutes later when Axel Tuanzebe tripped Semenyo but VAR ruled the offence had taken place outside the area.&lt;/p&gt;
  5409.  
  5410.  
  5411.  
  5412. &lt;p&gt;But Evanilson was soon celebrating a home goal on 67 minutes when Palmer could only push Lewis Cook’s shot into his path &amp;#8211; but the damage had already been done.&lt;/p&gt;
  5413.

  5435. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ALEXANDER THE GREAT continued his crusade to outdo Alan Shearer but it was Newcastle’s Italian Stallion who downed Brentford.&lt;/p&gt;
  5436.  
  5437.  
  5438.  
  5439. &lt;p&gt;Sandro Tonali’s piledriver from out wide caught out Mark Flekken and kept Toon hot on fourth-placed Manchester City’s tails.&lt;/p&gt;
  5440.  
  5441.  
  5442.  
  5443. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231634&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-newcastle-uniteds-alexander-isak-984287300.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Alexander Isak of Newcastle United celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231634&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;689&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Alexander Isak made history as Newcastle&amp;#8217;s only Premier League player to score 20 goals in consecutive seasons[/caption]
  5444.  
  5445.  
  5446.  
  5447. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34233020&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/mi-news-sport-alamy-live-984297422.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Sandro Tonali of Newcastle United scoring a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233020&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Tonali scores from a stunning angle[/caption]
  5448.  
  5449.  
  5450.  
  5451. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-match-stats-6a93515b-8214-4de3-81b7-4dbc8b1359ee.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-match-stats-6a93515b-8214-4de3-81b7-4dbc8b1359ee.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Newcastle vs Brentford match statistics.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232801&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  5452.  
  5453.  
  5454.  
  5455. &lt;p&gt;And that came without new legendary striker Alexander Isak even being on the pitch by that point.&lt;/p&gt;
  5456.  
  5457.  
  5458.  
  5459. &lt;p&gt;While the 25-year-old still has some way to go to overtake Super Al’s club-record 206 goal haul, Newcastle’s sensational Swede has now achieved another feat the legend could not.&lt;/p&gt;
  5460.  
  5461.  
  5462.  
  5463. &lt;p&gt;Fresh from ending the Magpies’ wait since 1969 for silverware, Isak is now the first Newcastle player to score 20-plus in consecutive Premier League campaigns after his opener.&lt;/p&gt;
  5464.  
  5465.  
  5466.  
  5467. &lt;p&gt;Brentford, six games unbeaten on the road, threatened to spoil the fun after Bryan Mbeumo equalised with a penalty until Tonali’s moment of magic.&lt;/p&gt;
  5468.  
  5469.  
  5470.  
  5471. &lt;p&gt;It was another party atmosphere on Tyneside beforehand as the Carabao Cup winners returned to action for the first time since that Wembley triumph.&lt;/p&gt;
  5472.  
  5473.  
  5474.  
  5475. &lt;p&gt;And just days after an estimated 300,000 attended the trophy parade, the Toon Army had another trick up their sleeve to mark their 70-year major trophy drought ending.&lt;/p&gt;
  5476.  
  5477.  
  5478.  
  5479. &lt;p&gt;A huge flag of Newcastle’s now legendary boss was unfurled in the Gallowgate End pre-match, next to the message: “Eddie Howe History Made”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5480.  
  5481.  
  5482.  
  5483. &lt;p&gt;Humble Howe clapped in appreciation, but he and his players know that an even bigger prize is there for the taking.&lt;/p&gt;
  5484.  
  5485.  
  5486.  
  5487. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5488.  
  5489.  
  5490.  
  5491. &lt;p&gt;He admitted that Newcastle’s biggest hurdle to overcome was their own inconsistency in the quest to secure Champions League qualification.&lt;/p&gt;
  5492.  
  5493.  
  5494.  
  5495. &lt;p&gt;And after naming the same starting XI that toppled Liverpool in the final, his men roared into action.&lt;/p&gt;
  5496.  
  5497.  
  5498.  
  5499. &lt;!-- Start of Brightcove Player --&gt;

  5513. &lt;/div&gt;
  5514. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  5516.  
  5517.  
  5518.  
  5519. &lt;p&gt;They carved Brentford open in just the second minute in an almost dream start.&lt;/p&gt;
  5520.  
  5521.  
  5522.  
  5523. &lt;p&gt;Joelinton passed out left to Tino Livramento, the full-back beating a man and floating a cross towards the back post.&lt;/p&gt;
  5524.  
  5525.  
  5526.  
  5527. &lt;p&gt;Isak raced in to meet it, though the usual lethal hotshot was unable to find the target from six yards out under pressure.&lt;/p&gt;
  5528.  
  5529.  
  5530.  
  5531. &lt;p&gt;Joelinton dragged a shot wide as the pressure continued before Isak was at it again.&lt;/p&gt;
  5532.  
  5533.  
  5534.  
  5535. &lt;p&gt;Jacob Murphy stole the ball off Ethan Pinnock in the Brentford half and the Toon striker pounced like a lion.&lt;/p&gt;
  5536.  
  5537.  
  5538.  
  5539. &lt;p&gt;He broke forward, freeing himself from the defence, and got clean through only to then blaze over from 20 yards.&lt;/p&gt;
  5540.  
  5541.  
  5542.  
  5543. &lt;p&gt;The Bees, however, had weathered the early storm and it soon became apparent that Thomas Frank’s team were not just here to frustrate and put a cork in the cup celebration champers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5544.  
  5545.  
  5546.  
  5547. &lt;p&gt;They came here looking for a sixth-straight away win and started to go toe-to-toe with the hosts.&lt;/p&gt;
  5548.  
  5549.  
  5550.  
  5551. &lt;p&gt;Bryan Mbeumo fired one wide from the edge of the area before Kieran Trippier’s back post clearance from the Brentford winger’s cross denied Kevin Schade from nodding in.&lt;/p&gt;
  5552.  
  5553.  
  5554.  
  5555. &lt;p&gt;Up the other end, Harvey Barnes tried his luck after cutting in from the left, but his fierce whipped strike whizzed past the wrong side of the far post.&lt;/p&gt;
  5556.  
  5557.  
  5558.  
  5559. &lt;p&gt;Fabian Schar’s piledriver from distance diverted off Isak’s thigh as the Magpies tried to move through the gears again ahead of half time.&lt;/p&gt;
  5560.  
  5561.  
  5562.  
  5563. &lt;p&gt;And they thought they had found a breakthrough in the final seconds when Isak danced past the defence and fed Barnes to finish into an empty net &amp;#8211; but the winger had strayed offside.&lt;/p&gt;
  5564.  
  5565.  
  5566.  
  5567. &lt;p&gt;However, just as it looked to be a tense teamtalk from Howe, up stepped his magic man.&lt;/p&gt;
  5568.  
  5569.  
  5570.  
  5571. &lt;p&gt;This time he capitalised on a slip from his marker Mbeumo to guide Murphy’s cross past Mark Flekken for his 24th of the campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
  5572.  
  5573.  
  5574.  
  5575. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-multi-map-786ca008-14c4-4be1-8dd1-272340b4c686.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Alexander Isak's match statistics: 36 touches, 3 shots, 18 passes, 0 tackles, 4 dribbles, 6 duels won.  Heatmap shows player location on the field.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34233270&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;

  5580.  
  5581.  
  5582.  
  5583. &lt;p&gt;Barnes shot wide straight after the break and then Murphy hesitated after stealing the ball and going through.&lt;/p&gt;
  5584.  
  5585.  
  5586.  
  5587. &lt;p&gt;Caught in two minds whether to pass or shoot, his eventual effort was blocked as was Barnes’ follow-up and Brentford instantly launched a counter.&lt;/p&gt;
  5588.  
  5589.  
  5590.  
  5591. &lt;p&gt;Bruno Guimaraes blocked one effort as the Magpies struggled to clear the danger and eventually they were punished after a frantic few seconds.&lt;/p&gt;
  5592.  
  5593.  
  5594.  
  5595. &lt;p&gt;Newcastle goalie Nick Pope came out to stop Yoane Wissa from meeting a pass over the top and sent the Congolese ace tumbling.&lt;/p&gt;
  5596.  
  5597.  
  5598.  
  5599. &lt;p&gt;The ref pointed straight to the spot, and after a VAR check, Mbeumo calmly sent Pope the wrong way.&lt;/p&gt;
  5600.  
  5601.  
  5602.  
  5603. &lt;p&gt;Howe reacted by replacing Isak and Murphy with Callum Wilson and Joe Willock but it was the Bees who very nearly took the lead moments later.&lt;/p&gt;
  5604.  
  5605.  
  5606.  
  5607. &lt;p&gt;A corner came in from the left and Pinnock jumped highest only to agonisingly watch his header hit the inside of the post and bounce into Pope’s hands.&lt;/p&gt;
  5608.  
  5609.  
  5610.  
  5611. &lt;p&gt;Newcastle looked to be rocking with accusations of a Wembley hangover set to be thrown at them &amp;#8211; but Tonali had other ideas.&lt;/p&gt;
  5612.  
  5613.  
  5614.  
  5615. &lt;p&gt;Barnes laid it into his path down the right wing, and the eagle-eyed ex-AC Milan ace meant every bit of it as he spotted the gap and unleashed a thunderous strike inside Flekken’s near post.&lt;/p&gt;
  5616.  
  5617.  
  5618.  
  5619. &lt;p&gt;Deep into the eight minutes of additional time the Bees had one final chance to deliver a sting, but substitute Mikkel Damsgaard blazed high into the Gallowgate.&lt;/p&gt;
  5620.  
  5621.  
  5622.  
  5623. &lt;p&gt;The Dane then went down after colliding with Guimaraes, but despite Brentford’s pleas, the penalty appeals were waved away.&lt;/p&gt;
  5624.

  5692. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;AN al-Qaeda “mastermind” linked to the 7/7 attacks is set to walk free in Britain despite cops saying he remains a risk.&lt;/p&gt;
  5693.  
  5694.  
  5695.  
  5696. &lt;p&gt;Haroon Aswat, 50, cannot be fully assessed by the justice system due to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/mental-health/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; treatment.&lt;/p&gt;

  5709.  
  5710.  
  5711.  
  5712. &lt;p&gt;The ex-Abu Hamza accomplice, jailed in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/united-states/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;US&lt;/a&gt;, will leave a secure unit for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/yorkshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5713.  
  5714.  
  5715.  
  5716. &lt;p&gt;Shadow Home Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-philp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chris Philp&lt;/a&gt; said: “He could still be a real danger.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5717.  
  5718.  
  5719.  
  5720. &lt;p&gt;Aswat helped hate preacher Abu Hamza set up a US &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/terrorism/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;terror&lt;/a&gt; camp.&lt;/p&gt;
  5721.  
  5722.  
  5723.  
  5724. &lt;p&gt;While caged in the US in 2022 he told a British shrink: “I am a terrorist”, and said he’d kill Jews, Christians and Muslim enemies.&lt;/p&gt;
  5725.  
  5726.  
  5727.  
  5728. &lt;p&gt;He has spent the past two years at a UK psychiatric hospital but will return to Batley, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/west-yorkshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;West Yorks&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5729.  
  5730.  
  5731.  
  5732. &lt;p&gt;Shockingly, rules surrounding his treatment have prevented &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; and the justice system from fully assessing his suitability for release.&lt;/p&gt;
  5733.  
  5734.  
  5735.  
  5736. &lt;p&gt;Mr Philp said last night: “It is totally unacceptable that full risk assessments cannot be carried out. &lt;/p&gt;
  5737.  
  5738.  
  5739.  
  5740. &lt;p&gt;“I call on the Government to urgently change the law.&lt;/p&gt;
  5741.  
  5742.  
  5743.  
  5744. &lt;p&gt;“Those who pose a danger to the public should be taken off our streets. &lt;/p&gt;
  5745.  
  5746.  
  5747.  
  5748. &lt;p&gt;“That’s non-negotiable.”&lt;/p&gt;

  5771.  
  5772. &lt;p&gt;Ex-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Met&lt;/a&gt; counter-terror chief Peter Clarke warned: “There have been far too many tragic cases in the UK where terrorists have been released and gone on to murder.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5773.  
  5774.  
  5775.  
  5776. &lt;p&gt;In 1999 Aswat helped Hamza set up an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/al-qaeda/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;al-Qaeda&lt;/a&gt; camp in Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;
  5777.  
  5778.  
  5779.  
  5780. &lt;p&gt;In 2001 he trained at a camp in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/afghanistan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/a&gt;, and in 2002 stayed at an al-Qaeda safe house in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/pakistan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Pakistan&lt;/a&gt; where he met two &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/77-tube-bombings/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;7/7&lt;/a&gt; bombers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5781.  
  5782.  
  5783.  
  5784. &lt;p&gt;In 2005, police traced 20 calls to a phone linked to Aswat made by the 7/7 bombers, hours before their attack left 52 dead and more than 800 injured in central London.&lt;/p&gt;
  5785.  
  5786.  
  5787.  
  5788. &lt;p&gt;That year Aswat was arrested in Zambia while possessing a terror manual and suspected bomb parts.&lt;/p&gt;
  5789.  
  5790.  
  5791.  
  5792. &lt;p&gt;He was deported to the UK and held under a US arrest warrant.&lt;/p&gt;
  5793.  
  5794.  
  5795.  
  5796. &lt;p&gt;Aswat fought extradition on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/mental-health/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; grounds but after a nine-year battle was sent to the US in 2014. &lt;/p&gt;
  5797.  
  5798.  
  5799.  
  5800. &lt;p&gt;A year later he pleaded guilty to terror charges.&lt;/p&gt;
  5801.  
  5802.  
  5803.  
  5804. &lt;p&gt;His 20-year jail term was cut to seven years because of time detained at Broadmoor Hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  5805.  
  5806.  
  5807.  
  5808. &lt;p&gt;Before his US release in 2022 Aswat told visiting psychiatrist Dr Richard Taylor: “I am a terrorist.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5809.  
  5810.  
  5811.  
  5812. &lt;p&gt;Aswat has schizoaffective disorder. Symptoms can include unpredictable and aggressive behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  5813.  
  5814.  
  5815.  
  5816. &lt;p&gt;Dr Taylor warned Aswat might radicalise impressionable recruits.&lt;/p&gt;
  5817.  
  5818.  
  5819.  
  5820. &lt;p&gt;On his return to the UK in late 2022 Aswat was detained at Bethlem Royal Hospital, South London.&lt;/p&gt;
  5821.  
  5822.  
  5823.  
  5824. &lt;p&gt;His move there, under provisions of the Mental Health Act, is understood to have been spurred by national security concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
  5825.  
  5826.  
  5827.  
  5828. &lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, High Court judge Mr Justice Jay ruled: “The defendant’s treatment has been effective. His release from detention is expected in the relatively near future. I understand he will return to his family in Yorkshire.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5829.  
  5830.  
  5831.  
  5832. &lt;p&gt;Mr Justice Jay noted: “No formal terrorist risk assessment has been carried out since the defendant’s return here. The circumstances of his detention have precluded that.&lt;/p&gt;
  5833.  
  5834.  
  5835.  
  5836. &lt;p&gt;“However, on the basis of the material which is available the defendant has been assessed by various police officers — including the senior officer dealing with this case — that he remains a risk to national security.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5837.  
  5838.  
  5839.  
  5840. &lt;p&gt;The judge granted a notification order which means Aswat must register his address and bank details with police.&lt;/p&gt;
  5841.  
  5842.  
  5843.  
  5844. &lt;p&gt;He will not be under surveillance or wear a tag, and can travel abroad if he tells cops in advance.&lt;/p&gt;
  5845.  
  5846.

  5869. &lt;p&gt;LABOUR’S Attorney General was under fire last night for saying those who criticise judges are a threat to democracy.&lt;/p&gt;
  5870. &lt;p&gt;Lord Richard Hermer risked a row with boss Sir Keir Starmer who has hit out at one ruling.&lt;/p&gt;
  5871. &lt;p&gt;He said: “We are entering a dangerous moment in which people are attacking judges on a personal basis. That creates a threat to the rule of law.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5872. &lt;p&gt;But Tory Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: “If judges step into the political arena they should expect a political response.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5873. &lt;p&gt;The PM has disagreed with a judge who granted a Palestinian family the right to live in the UK via a Ukraine visa scheme.&lt;/p&gt;

  5921.

  5933.  
  5934.  
  5935.  
  5936. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I can&amp;#8217;t believe what great &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/deals-sales/&quot;&gt;value&lt;/a&gt; they were and they&amp;#8217;re lovely quality.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6022. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Clean your garden&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6023. &lt;p&gt;Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=4315&amp;amp;awinaffid=255437&amp;amp;clickref=gardening-tips-boxout&amp;amp;platform=dl&amp;amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gtech.co.uk%2Fgarden-tools%2Fgardening-accessories%2Fgarden-safety-kit-large.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Gtech’s Garden Safety Kit (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Gtech’s Garden Safety Kit&lt;/a&gt; includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
  6024. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Weeding &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6025. &lt;p&gt;Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6026. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Hedge maintenance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6027. &lt;p&gt;Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=4315&amp;amp;awinaffid=255437&amp;amp;clickref=gardening-tips-boxout&amp;amp;platform=dl&amp;amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gtech.co.uk%2Fgarden-tools%2Fhedge-trimmers%2Flightweight-hedge-trimmer-lht50.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer&lt;/a&gt; can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.  &lt;/p&gt;
  6028. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Composting &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6029. &lt;p&gt;Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6030. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Look after your lawn &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6031. &lt;p&gt;Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely. &lt;/p&gt;
  6032. &lt;/div&gt;
  6033. &lt;/div&gt;

  6047. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ARNE SLOT was hoping to land a Liverpool treble but at least he has avoided a wobble.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6048.  
  6049.  
  6050.  
  6051. &lt;p&gt;Just when it seemed the club’s players had decided to cause panic among their fans with another poor result, Diogo Jota chose a good time to end his 10-game goal drought.&lt;/p&gt;
  6052.  
  6053.  
  6054.  
  6055. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232674&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/celebrates-scoring-sides-first-goal-984294859_2cf710.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Liverpool's Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232674&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;670&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Diogo Jota netted a stunning winner as Liverpool won the Merseyside derby[/caption]
  6056.  
  6057.  
  6058.  
  6059. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232694&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-evertons-beto-reacts-scoring-984285811.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Everton's Beto reacts after a disallowed goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232694&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;663&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Beto had a goal ruled out for offside as Everton lost 1-0 at Anfield[/caption]
  6060.  
  6061.  
  6062.  
  6063. &lt;p&gt;So despite being booted out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain and then beaten by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196669/newcastle-united/&quot;&gt;Newcastle&lt;/a&gt; in the Carabao Cup final,&amp;nbsp; Slot’s men continue their inevitable march to the Premier League title.&lt;/p&gt;
  6064.  
  6065.  
  6066.  
  6067. &lt;p&gt;As for David Moyes, who had overseen a tremendous nine-game unbeaten run at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196662/everton/&quot;&gt;Everton&lt;/a&gt;, it was yet another disappointing night at Anfield where he has now failed to win any of his 22 matches at his least-favourite stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
  6068.  
  6069.  
  6070.  
  6071. &lt;p&gt;There was some degree of controversy over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; winner with Luis Diaz coming from an offside position &amp;#8211; with James Tarkowski playing the ball to stop it from getting to the Colombian &amp;#8211; before Jota struck only his ninth goal of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  6072.  
  6073.  
  6074.  
  6075. &lt;p&gt;Yet equally, Tarkowski was fortunate to be on the pitch as he should have been sent off at the start after a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34231121/james-tarkowski-everton-liverpool-red-tackle/&quot;&gt;crunching tackle on Alexis Mac Allister.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6076.  
  6077.  
  6078.  
  6079. &lt;p&gt;But on the final whistle, there was relief all round as Liverpool restored the 12-point gap meaning they are sleepwalking to their first title in five years.&lt;/p&gt;
  6080.  
  6081.  
  6082.  
  6083. &lt;p&gt;At the end, there were smiles, hugs and fist-bumps all around from the players while the supporters sang about winning the league.&lt;/p&gt;
  6084.  
  6085.  
  6086.  
  6087. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool certainly did not play well last night despite having lots of the ball. The last two performances have whisked us back to the 2022-23 season when they finished fifth.&lt;/p&gt;
  6088.  
  6089.  
  6090.  
  6091. &lt;p&gt;Because like the loss to Newcastle at Wembley, they were sluggish in midfield, created very little in the final third and their two centre-halves, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk, looked as though they have never played with each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  6092.  
  6093.  
  6094.  
  6095. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32916258/best-free-bets-sign-up-offers-uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6096.  
  6097.  
  6098.  
  6099. &lt;p&gt;Equally, Liverpool continue to miss the right-boot of Trent Alexander-Arnold at full-back although that is something they will have to get used to next season.&lt;/p&gt;
  6100.  
  6101.  
  6102.  
  6103. &lt;p&gt;Even Mo Salah, who is also out of contact, has suddenly suffered a major dip in form even though he will clean up in the end-of-season awards.&lt;/p&gt;

  6192.  
  6193.  
  6194.  
  6195.  
  6196. &lt;p&gt;But for Liverpool fans, there really is not much to grumble about. And Slot finished last night’s game in a much calmer mood than after the previous Merseyside derby when he was given a red card and told Michael Oliver that he would be to blame if they did not win the title.&lt;/p&gt;
  6197.  
  6198.  
  6199.  
  6200. &lt;p&gt;Because of the mayhem at Goodison, it was a surprise that the Premier League chose an inexperienced referee in Sam Barrott who had never taken charge of a top-flight game at Anfield.&lt;/p&gt;
  6201.  
  6202.  
  6203.  
  6204. &lt;p&gt;And he made the big call not to send off Tarkowski in the 10th minute after he delivered a crunching, studs-up challenge on Mac Allister despite winning the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  6205.

  6267. &lt;p&gt;Paul Tierney on VAR at Stockley Park decided not to upgrade the yellow card to a red and Tarkowski &amp;#8211; who scored the 98th minute leveller in the 2-2 draw at Goodison &amp;#8211; got lucky.&lt;/p&gt;
  6268.  
  6269.  
  6270.  
  6271. &lt;p&gt;The next VAR check went in Liverpool’s favour when the decision to rule out a strike by Beto for offside was upheld.&lt;/p&gt;
  6272.  
  6273.  
  6274.  
  6275. &lt;p&gt;Beto, after shrugging off Van Dijk too easily, threaded a shot through the legs of Caoimhin Kelleher. &lt;/p&gt;

  6284.  
  6285.  
  6286.  
  6287. &lt;p&gt;And that was certainly a relief for the Irish keeper who replaced No1 Alisson as he was following FA concussions protocols after suffering a head injury while on international duty with Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;
  6288.  
  6289.  
  6290.  
  6291. &lt;p&gt;Kelleher was then grateful for the woodwork as Beto hammered a shot against the left post after capitalising on more ponderous defending from Van Dijk.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6292.  
  6293.  
  6294.  
  6295. &lt;p&gt;Carlos Alcaraz could have scored with the last touch of the first half &amp;#8211; with Liverpool’s defenders again switching off &amp;#8211; but the Argentine’s header was poor.&lt;/p&gt;
  6296.  
  6297.  
  6298.

  6301.  
  6302.  
  6303. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232697&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-evertons-james-tarkowski-shown-984284598.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Soccer referee showing Everton's James Tarkowski a yellow card.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232697&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;670&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;It resulted in just a yellow card for the defender[/caption]
  6304.  
  6305.  
  6306.  
  6307. &lt;p&gt;And while Liverpool once again had more of the possession after the break they were faced with a blue wall of players putting their bodies on the line, such as Jarrad Branthwaite who flung his head towards the boot of Salah to divert the ball away from danger.&lt;/p&gt;
  6308.  
  6309.  
  6310.  
  6311. &lt;p&gt;Yet while they were not at their best, Slot’s team were clearly desperate not to cock this up.&lt;/p&gt;
  6312.  
  6313.  
  6314.  
  6315. &lt;p&gt;James Garner was dispossessed in a dangerous area by Jota and then received the ball back courtesy of a wonderful flick from Diaz. &lt;/p&gt;
  6316.  
  6317.  
  6318.

  6320.  
  6321.

  6324.  
  6325.  
  6326.  
  6327. &lt;p&gt;Jota jogged past Idrissa Gueye then stuck a shot past Pickford on the penalty spot.&lt;/p&gt;
  6328.  
  6329.  
  6330.  
  6331. &lt;p&gt;After a VAR check focusing on Diaz, the goal was confirmed and everyone at Anfield breathed a little easier.&lt;/p&gt;
  6332.  
  6333.  
  6334.  
  6335. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool are now 26 games unbeaten in the Premier League and while winning the treble would be nice, there is only one trophy that all the supporters really crave.&lt;/p&gt;
  6336.  
  6337.  
  6338.  
  6339. &lt;p&gt;Captain Van Dijk is looking particularly tired, right now, but he should still have enough strength to lift the Premier League trophy in a few weeks.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6368. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;SHAMELESS mum-of-three Whitney Ainscough is raking in £480,000 a year by showing her one million followers on social media how to get as much cash as possible from the benefits system.&lt;/p&gt;
  6369.  
  6370.  
  6371.  
  6372. &lt;p&gt;And despite her huge income, she still lives in a reduced-rent council house — at a time when 336,366 households were on waiting lists for social housing last year.&lt;/p&gt;

  6385.  
  6386.  
  6387.  
  6388. &lt;p&gt;Whitney boasted: “I see my role as educational in helping real people who need benefits and can’t understand the system.&lt;/p&gt;
  6389.  
  6390.  
  6391.  
  6392. &lt;p&gt;“I am not ashamed. &lt;/p&gt;
  6393.  
  6394.  
  6395.  
  6396. &lt;p&gt;“I consider myself a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt; influencer success story and should be praised for how I earn my money.&lt;/p&gt;

  6406.  
  6407.  
  6408. &lt;p&gt;“I am going to pay cash for my house, and it will be an amazing day.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6409.  
  6410.  
  6411.  
  6412. &lt;p&gt;She adds: “The best thing is you don’t get kicked out because you become a big earner.&lt;/p&gt;
  6413.  
  6414.  
  6415.  
  6416. &lt;p&gt;“I had to wait more than five years to get a council house and I know people in real need are waiting for their own council &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/property/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;property&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6417.  
  6418.  
  6419.  
  6420. &lt;p&gt;“That’s not my fault — councils need to build more housing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6421.  
  6422.  
  6423.  
  6424. &lt;p&gt;Her life of luxury has already enabled her to splash out on a £4,000 gastric sleeve in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/egypt/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Egypt&lt;/a&gt; — taking her from a size 16 to a size four — a £9,000 Zante family break, a £1,200 iPhone for her pre-teen daughter, a £7,000 three-day trip to Disneyland and a £60,000 Range Rover.&lt;/p&gt;

  6459.  
  6460. &lt;p&gt;Her journey from benefits claimant to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; mega-earner began when she went on maternity leave from her job in a pharmacy.&lt;/p&gt;
  6461.  
  6462.  
  6463.  
  6464. &lt;p&gt;She decided that increased nursery fees and childcare costs were too high when contemplating returning to the workplace in 2022, choosing to go on benefits instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  6465.  
  6466.  
  6467.  
  6468. &lt;p&gt;Whitney says: “I had no option but to stay at home, care for the three kids and claim benefits. &lt;/p&gt;
  6469.  
  6470.  
  6471.  
  6472. &lt;p&gt;“I couldn’t afford to return to work.&lt;/p&gt;
  6473.  
  6474.  
  6475.  
  6476. &lt;p&gt;“And why should I trudge to job interviews?&lt;/p&gt;
  6477.  
  6478.  
  6479.  
  6480. &lt;p&gt;“Instead I got to sit on my sofa, with my feet up and — thanks to the taxpayer — learnt how to be a social media star.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6481.  
  6482.  
  6483.  
  6484. &lt;p&gt;Prior to her internet fame, Whitney’s monthly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/universal-credit/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Universal Credit &lt;/a&gt;payment was £1,151 and included housing benefit, standard adult allowance, the child element payment and child benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
  6485.  
  6486.  
  6487.  
  6488. &lt;p&gt;She also had £30,000 worth of debt and was on a management plan to control it.&lt;/p&gt;
  6489.  
  6490.  
  6491.  
  6492. &lt;p&gt;So, in early 2023, she started a social media account — initially &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; but subsequently &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; — to share “mum things”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6493.

  6496. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  6497. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  6498. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  6499. &lt;p&gt;I’m not ashamed.  I consider myself a benefits influencer success story and should be praised for how I earn ­my money. And the amount I  earn is increasing every day&lt;/p&gt;
  6500. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  6504. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  6506.  
  6507.  
  6508.  
  6509. &lt;p&gt;As well as advocating benefits, her “slummy mummy” posts also show her feeding her kids beans on toast and facing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; for taking them on term-time holidays.&lt;/p&gt;
  6510.  
  6511.  
  6512.  
  6513. &lt;p&gt;She explains: “People wanted to know how I spent my Universal Credit and so I shared my grocery buys, cheap recipe tips and my everyday life.&lt;/p&gt;
  6514.  
  6515.  
  6516.  
  6517. &lt;p&gt;“I also shared controversial things — like sending my daughter to school in designer gear after saving up my benefits.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6518.

  6530.  
  6531.  
  6532.  
  6533. &lt;p&gt;Her posts became so popular she was able to start selling things through TikTok’s commissions page and endorse brands.&lt;/p&gt;
  6534.  
  6535.  
  6536.  
  6537. &lt;p&gt;She came off benefits in September 2023 and in December that year earned £4,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  6538.  
  6539.  
  6540.  
  6541. &lt;p&gt;In February 2024 she earned £15,000 and was soon on track to make £200,000 that year.&lt;/p&gt;
  6542.  
  6543.  
  6544.  
  6545. &lt;p&gt;And back when she was on Universal Credit, much of her £30,000 debt had been written off when she began earning more.&lt;/p&gt;
  6546.  
  6547.  
  6548.  
  6549. &lt;p&gt;Whitney says: “When I first shared my UC payment, talked about how I had claimed it, my followers dramatically increased.&lt;/p&gt;
  6550.  
  6551.  
  6552.  
  6553. &lt;p&gt;“I gained even more views and fans by adding the tags #universalcredit, #benefitsmum and #PIP. &lt;/p&gt;
  6554.  
  6555.  
  6556.  
  6557. &lt;p&gt;“I do it to help people but also to get followers — but that’s good for me and the economy. I’d be dim if I didn’t.&lt;/p&gt;
  6558.  
  6559.  
  6560.  
  6561. &lt;p&gt;“I loved sharing how the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cost of Living&lt;/a&gt; payments I got were being used to buy new phones for my kids or being used to fund my &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/2055524/botox-cost-safe-wrinkles-long-last-injections/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Botox&lt;/a&gt; and fillers.”&lt;/p&gt;

  6573. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  6575.  
  6576.  
  6577.  
  6578. &lt;p&gt;Having claimed herself, Whitney reckons the system is intimidating.&lt;/p&gt;
  6579.  
  6580.  
  6581.  
  6582. &lt;p&gt;She says: “You have to be brash and bold to get the best benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  6583.  
  6584.  
  6585.  
  6586. &lt;p&gt;“People are terrified and don’t understand the system when they start claiming.&lt;/p&gt;
  6587.  
  6588.  
  6589.  
  6590. &lt;p&gt;“I was scared initially but I learnt you have to be brazen.&lt;/p&gt;
  6591.  
  6592.  
  6593.  
  6594. &lt;p&gt;“You have a right to claim as much as possible. &lt;/p&gt;
  6595.  
  6596.  
  6597.  
  6598. &lt;p&gt;“It’s not illegal. &lt;/p&gt;
  6599.  
  6600.  
  6601.  
  6602. &lt;p&gt;“Benefits are offered for a reason.&lt;/p&gt;
  6603.  
  6604.  
  6605.  
  6606. &lt;p&gt;“People need to stop moaning about people getting benefits they deserve — and other people helping them do that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6607.  
  6608.  
  6609.  
  6610. &lt;p&gt;Having earned just £13,812 in April 2023 when she was on benefits, Whitney now has a personal accountant and a corporate structure for her earnings.&lt;/p&gt;
  6611.  
  6612.  
  6613.  
  6614. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232026&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 849px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/setting-camera-ten-minute-tiktok-984256686.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=839&quot; alt=&quot;Woman sitting on a low wall in front of a pyramid.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232026&quot; width=&quot;839&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Wealthy Whitney enjoying a trip to Egypt[/caption]
  6615.  
  6616.  
  6617.  
  6618. &lt;p&gt;She says: “I am taxed at 40 per cent, not higher, because I have set up a company and pay myself a salary from it.&lt;/p&gt;
  6619.  
  6620.  
  6621.  
  6622. &lt;p&gt;“But I’m proud to give back. &lt;/p&gt;
  6623.  
  6624.  
  6625.  
  6626. &lt;p&gt;“People forget I was paying &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tax/page/6/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tax&lt;/a&gt; when I worked at the pharmacy before I went on Universal Credit.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6627.  
  6628.  
  6629.  
  6630. &lt;p&gt;She now rakes in more than the 1,092 council penpushers who make £150,000, according to figures released from the Taxpayers’ Alliance, and more than twice the £172,153 salary of Prime Minister Keir Starmer.&lt;/p&gt;
  6631.  
  6632.  
  6633.  
  6634. &lt;p&gt;In November last year Whitney made a staggering £60,000, in December £50,000 and in the first three months of this year she pulled in £150,000 — all thanks to TikTok shop commissions.&lt;/p&gt;
  6635.  
  6636.  
  6637.  
  6638. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘I deliberately court controversy’&lt;/h2&gt;
  6639.  
  6640.  
  6641.  
  6642. &lt;p&gt;But with having found online fame, she experienced a barrage of critics branding her a “benefits scrounger”, a “sickfluencer” and a “bad mother”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6643.  
  6644.  
  6645.  
  6646. &lt;p&gt;Whitney says: “People think if you’re on benefits you are brainless.&lt;/p&gt;
  6647.  
  6648.  
  6649.  
  6650. &lt;p&gt;“They couldn’t be more wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  6651.  
  6652.  
  6653.  
  6654. &lt;p&gt;“I quickly realised using specific hashtags combined with my everyday relatable videos about life on Universal Credit meant the social media algorithm recognised what I was talking about was a hot topic.&lt;/p&gt;
  6655.  
  6656.  
  6657.  
  6658. &lt;p&gt;“I was shameless about bragging about my benefits. &lt;/p&gt;
  6659.  
  6660.  
  6661.  
  6662. &lt;p&gt;“I knew the more I bragged about getting Universal Credit, the more trolls and followers I’d attract.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6663.  
  6664.  
  6665.  
  6666. &lt;p&gt;Whitney argues if she had not been forced to claim Universal Credit and be a stay-at-home mum she would have never taught herself social media skills, which helped her to start earning money on various platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
  6667.  
  6668.  
  6669.  
  6670. &lt;p&gt;She says: “It was key to my success. &lt;/p&gt;
  6671.  
  6672.  
  6673.  
  6674. &lt;p&gt;“It’s why I still share tips on claiming Universal Credit, Motability cars and other taxpayer-funded benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  6675.  
  6676.  
  6677.  
  6678. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t actually use these things any more but I lived on taxpayer handouts, and I know the system is broken.&lt;/p&gt;
  6679.  
  6680.  
  6681.  
  6682. &lt;p&gt;“I know I am not the reason the system is failing. &lt;/p&gt;
  6683.  
  6684.  
  6685.  
  6686. &lt;p&gt;“That’s down to the bureaucrats.&lt;/p&gt;
  6687.  
  6688.  
  6689.  
  6690. &lt;p&gt;“It’s ironic that while overpaid council bosses are slashing benefits,&lt;/p&gt;
  6691.  
  6692.  
  6693.  
  6694. &lt;p&gt;“I’m making close to half a million telling my followers on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook how to get them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6695.  
  6696.  
  6697.  
  6698. &lt;p&gt;Whitney adds: “I like to help people. &lt;/p&gt;
  6699.  
  6700.  
  6701.  
  6702. &lt;p&gt;“I grew up in a council house and know the hardships of being a mum of three on benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  6703.  
  6704.  
  6705.  
  6706. &lt;p&gt;“&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/martin-lewis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Martin Lewis&lt;/a&gt; tells people how to claim more. &lt;/p&gt;
  6707.  
  6708.  
  6709.  
  6710. &lt;p&gt;“I do the same. If you troll me, then troll him or experts like him as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  6711.  
  6712.  
  6713.  
  6714. &lt;p&gt;“The Government wants people who find a job like me to earn big and yet people criticise me for it at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
  6715.  
  6716.  
  6717.  
  6718. &lt;p&gt;“I refuse to be criticised. &lt;/p&gt;
  6719.  
  6720.  
  6721.  
  6722. &lt;p&gt;“If you want to label me a benefits scrounger that is fine.&lt;/p&gt;
  6723.  
  6724.  
  6725.  
  6726. &lt;p&gt;“It means I get more followers, views and cash in the bank.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6727.  
  6728.  
  6729.  
  6730. &lt;p&gt;And she admits that she enjoys provoking people with her output on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  6731.  
  6732.  
  6733.  
  6734. &lt;p&gt;Whitney says: “I deliberately court controversy. &lt;/p&gt;
  6735.  
  6736.  
  6737.  
  6738. &lt;p&gt;“I post videos to deliberately wind up people who troll me.&lt;/p&gt;
  6739.  
  6740.  
  6741.  
  6742. &lt;p&gt;“My devoted fans know the truth and it makes them laugh.&lt;/p&gt;
  6743.  
  6744.  
  6745.  
  6746. &lt;p&gt;“I learnt to be an influencer while claiming and now I earn more than the Prime Minister.&lt;/p&gt;
  6747.  
  6748.  
  6749.  
  6750. &lt;p&gt;“That’s what the Government wants people to do — to earn more to pay more taxes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6751.

  6784. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MARC SKINNER says there is “more hard work ahead” for Manchester United with his aim to build a team regularly battling silverware. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6785.  
  6786.  
  6787.  
  6788. &lt;p&gt;Earlier today United announced Skinner has extended his reign as boss of their Women’s Super League side. &lt;/p&gt;

  6801.  
  6802.  
  6803.  
  6804. &lt;p&gt;The&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt; Red Devils&lt;/a&gt; head coach has signed a new contract that will see him remain in charge of their women’s team until June 2027 with the option of an extension for an extra year.   &lt;/p&gt;
  6805.  
  6806.  
  6807.  
  6808. &lt;p&gt;The previous deal for Skinner, whose team are currently third in the league, was due to expire at the end of this season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6809.  
  6810.  
  6811.  
  6812. &lt;p&gt;His new contract comes 14 months after he guided the side to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27877282/man-utd-tottenham-ella-toone-womens-fa-cup-final/&quot;&gt;Women’s FA Cup win&lt;/a&gt; for the first time in their history after a 4-0 trouncing of&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196652/tottenham-hotspur/&quot;&gt; Tottenham  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6813.  
  6814.  
  6815.  
  6816. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;Man United &lt;/a&gt;manager, who previously managed US club Orlando Pride said: said: &amp;#8220;It has been an absolute privilege to serve as head coach for this fantastic football club for the past four years.&lt;/p&gt;
  6817.  
  6818.  
  6819.  
  6820. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am delighted to be extending my time in the role for at least a further two years.&lt;/p&gt;
  6821.  
  6822.  
  6823.  
  6824. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are building a young, hungry team with the aim of challenging consistently for further trophies. &lt;/p&gt;
  6825.  
  6826.  
  6827.  
  6828. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is still more hard work ahead, including this season, but the players and staff have already shown their determination to succeed. &lt;/p&gt;
  6829.  
  6830.  
  6831.  
  6832. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am looking forward to us taking the next steps in our journey together.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6833.  
  6834.  
  6835.  
  6836. &lt;p&gt;Following his appointment in 2021 Skinner guided to a second place finish in the WSL in the 2022-23 season and entering the&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/champions-league/&quot;&gt; Champions League&lt;/a&gt; the following term.&lt;/p&gt;
  6837.  
  6838.  
  6839.  
  6840. &lt;p&gt;However United did not progress beyond the qualifying stage that season and missed on European competition after finishing fifth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6841.  
  6842.  
  6843.  
  6844. &lt;p&gt;At times within the past four years Skinner has come under pressure from United supporters with some questioning his reign and the club’s achievements.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6845.  
  6846.  
  6847.  
  6848. &lt;p&gt;One fan was spotted holding a “Skinner out” sign last November during the team’s 1-0 away loss to league leaders &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea &lt;/a&gt;in a top-flight encounter. &lt;/p&gt;
  6849.  
  6850.  
  6851.  
  6852. &lt;p&gt;Despite this pressure, Skinner’s side has one of the best defensive records in the WSL this term with goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce keeping 12 clean sheets in 18 games.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6853.  
  6854.  
  6855.  
  6856. &lt;p&gt;His side are also third, level on points with second-placed Arsenal and occupying one of the three qualifying spots for next term&amp;#8217;s Champions League. &lt;/p&gt;
  6857.  
  6858.  
  6859.  
  6860. &lt;p&gt;And they hope to reach the FA Cup final for a second year in a row with the team battling Man City in the semis on April 13. &lt;/p&gt;
  6861.  
  6862.  
  6863.  
  6864. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232587&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/80256a6e-32ba-4b84-8a6e-aed8fe8d5f00.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Manchester City's Kerolin Nicoli and Kerstin Casparij celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232587&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;628&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Skinner&amp;#8217;s side will take on Man City in this year&amp;#8217;s FA Cup semis with the victor set to face Chelsea or Liverpool in the final&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  6865.  
  6866.  
  6867.  
  6868. &lt;p&gt;Man United technical director Jason Wilcox,  said: &amp;#8220;Marc’s record since taking charge speaks for itself, having delivered our first major women’s silverware and firmly established us among the leading teams in the WSL. &lt;/p&gt;
  6869.  
  6870.  
  6871.  
  6872. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After a major overhaul last summer, we have an exciting, developing squad ready to compete for further success. &lt;/p&gt;
  6873.  
  6874.  
  6875.  
  6876. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are convinced that Marc is the right coach to lead thatprocess.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6893. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A MUM of 12 has opened up on the reality of living in a six-bedroom council house with her bumper brood &amp;#8211; and the £100-a-month she has to spend to make it work.&lt;/p&gt;
  6894.  
  6895.  
  6896.  
  6897. &lt;p&gt;Zoe, 46, and Ben Sullivan, 48, are parents to one of Scotland&amp;#8217;s&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx2WPmNMNk0&amp;amp;list=LL&amp;amp;index=2&amp;amp;t=1100s&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; biggest family&lt;/a&gt; and live in a council house with six bedrooms.&lt;/p&gt;
  6898.  
  6899.  
  6900.  
  6901. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34023973&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 843px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/family_2JPG-JS785442921-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=833&quot; alt=&quot;I\x92m a mum-of-12 and we all squeeze into our four-bed house - my weekly shop costs me £320 &amp;amp; I spent £2.5k on Christmas presents, , They're courtesy of the Sullivan Family - Zoe Sullivan,&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34023973&quot; width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;622&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The Sullivans are one of Scotland&amp;#8217;s biggest families and live in a six-bedroom council house&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  6902.  
  6903.  
  6904.  
  6905. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34077709&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/i-m-mum-12-live-982620616.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Backyard of a six-bedroom council house with a trampoline and other children's toys.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34077709&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;556&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Youtube/@TheSullivansScotland&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The family have to be creative with space to make it work[/caption]
  6906.  
  6907.  
  6908.  
  6909. &lt;p&gt;The pair are parents to Elizabeth, 19, Olivia, 18, Noah, 15, Evangeline, 13, Tobias, 11, Agnes, 7, and Joseph, 6, two sets of twins, Charlotte and Isabelle, 16, and Leah and Erin, 8, and baby Flo 2.&lt;/p&gt;
  6910.  
  6911.  
  6912.  
  6913. &lt;p&gt;Taking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/@TheSullivansScotland&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;YouTube (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;, the family gave followers a home tour of their council pad which they&amp;#8217;ve lived in since 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  6914.  
  6915.  
  6916.  
  6917. &lt;p&gt;In the past, the couple has been supported by military accommodation as Ben worked for the Air Force.&lt;/p&gt;
  6918.  
  6919.  
  6920.  
  6921. &lt;p&gt;But after he left his job, they were forced to look for alternative digs.&lt;/p&gt;
  6922.  
  6923.  
  6924.  
  6925. &lt;p&gt;They said it took them two years to find a suitable property to house them and their children but finally got offered a council house in Burghead, Moray.&lt;/p&gt;
  6926.  
  6927.  
  6928.  
  6929. &lt;p&gt;But the couple revealed that their new home is much smaller in size than their previous pad, despite having six bedrooms&lt;/p&gt;
  6930.  
  6931.  
  6932.  
  6933. &lt;p&gt;While there are more rooms, they are a lot smaller which has meant Zoe has had to be creative with storage.&lt;/p&gt;
  6934.  
  6935.  
  6936.  
  6937. &lt;p&gt;It has even forced her to fork out £100 a month on a storage unit for their excess belongings.&lt;/p&gt;
  6938.  
  6939.  
  6940.  
  6941. &lt;p&gt;In a recent video, she said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s taken a long time to settle and to find places for things. We&amp;#8217;ve come from a house with a bigger area especially downstairs, like our dining room was twice the size of this one. &lt;/p&gt;
  6942.  
  6943.  
  6944.  
  6945. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So we&amp;#8217;ve had to try and fit things in. Basically we have got a storage unit because we don&amp;#8217;t have a garage or anything here, we used to have a garage.&lt;/p&gt;

  6966.  
  6967.  
  6968.  
  6969. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So we have got a storage unit where we keep stuff that we are not using at the moment or old memory stuff and all those sorts of things, clothes.&lt;/p&gt;
  6970.  
  6971.  
  6972.  
  6973. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We had a lot of storage in our old house as well in the form of cupboards and under the stairs, all those sorts of things. &lt;/p&gt;
  6974.  
  6975.  
  6976.  
  6977. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So that&amp;#8217;s [the storage unit] kind of like our garage if you like. We pay about £100 a month for a really big storage unit which is fantastic because we get to keep all that stuff in there like Christmas decorations. &lt;/p&gt;
  6978.  
  6979.  
  6980.  
  6981. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We can&amp;#8217;t use the loft here because there&amp;#8217;s no boarding in it at all so it&amp;#8217;s all those things that you would keep in your loft really basically and storage units are great. &lt;/p&gt;
  6982.  
  6983.  
  6984.  
  6985. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I mean the one we&amp;#8217;ve got it&amp;#8217;s a 24-hour access, it&amp;#8217;s all secure, you have to have a special app and it has to be linked to your phone and all those sorts of things.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6986.  
  6987.  
  6988.  
  6989. &lt;p&gt;Despite freeing up the clutter with the storage unit, the busy mum admitted the family home is still &amp;#8220;not aesthetically pleasing&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6990.  
  6991.  
  6992.  
  6993. &lt;p&gt;But she is proud of the space she has managed to create for her children, and hit back at any haters who judge her over it.&lt;/p&gt;
  6994.  
  6995.  
  6996.  
  6997. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;This is a house with 14 people living in it and it looks like a house with 14 people living in it. It&amp;#8217;s not going to look perfect. &lt;/p&gt;

  7008. LEANNE Hall, Digital Writer at Fabulous, has discussed what it was like growing up in a council house, and why those living in such properties are often judged... &lt;/p&gt;
  7010. &lt;div&gt;
  7011. &lt;p&gt;When I was a child I grew up in a council house, and was blissfully unaware of the discrimination that came with that, until I became an adult.&lt;br /&gt;My younger years were spent running up and down the stairs of my flat, meeting with other friends who lived there and making the most of the communal garden.&lt;br /&gt;But now, it seems no matter your circumstance, everyone has something to say about why you shouldn’t be there.&lt;br /&gt;Living just outside of London like I did, rent prices are still high, and as my mum was at home raising three kids at the time, it wasn’t easy to find a job that fit around that.&lt;br /&gt;People in council houses are often labelled as ‘scroungers’ or ‘lazy’ but it’s nothing of the sort.&lt;br /&gt;Most families in council homes experience overcrowding, and let’s not even mention the horrendous amount of damp and mould that comes from living in old social housing that hasn’t had work done to them in 50 or so years.&lt;br /&gt;It’s not ideal for many, but it does provide a secure home without the fear your rent will shoot up every single year, which I would argue is vital to children growing up on the poverty line.&lt;/p&gt;
  7012. &lt;/div&gt;
  7013. &lt;/div&gt;
  7014. &lt;/div&gt;
  7016.  
  7017.  
  7018.  
  7019. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have stuff, we have people. I have a feeling that even if we had a much bigger house maybe it would be a little bit tidier as we could put things away more, we&amp;#8217;d have more spaces to hide things probably.&lt;/p&gt;
  7020.  
  7021.  
  7022.  
  7023. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The majority of people that you see on social media especially, they&amp;#8217;ve hidden their stuff if they have stuff. &lt;/p&gt;
  7024.  
  7025.  
  7026.  
  7027. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;ve just got enough space to hide it which is fantastic and I really hope that one day we will have that too but at the moment we don&amp;#8217;t so our house looks like there are 14 people living in it because there are.&lt;/p&gt;
  7028.  
  7029.  
  7030.  
  7031. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We take every piece of space we could use and we try and use it the best we can. &lt;/p&gt;
  7032.  
  7033.  
  7034.  
  7035. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re always getting told [by trolls] that our house is cluttered, we should get rid of all of our stuff, all of that sort of stuff but the fact of the matter is 14 people come with 14 people&amp;#8217;s stuff so everything in the house we use. &lt;/p&gt;
  7036.  
  7037.  
  7038.  
  7039. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Everything that&amp;#8217;s in the house we use which is why it&amp;#8217;s in the house but it isn&amp;#8217;t a huge house.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7040.  
  7041.  
  7042.  
  7043. &lt;p&gt;Zoe was also eager to squash any claims that they don&amp;#8217;t pay their way &amp;#8211; an accusation she often faces from trolls.&lt;/p&gt;
  7044.  
  7045.  
  7046.  
  7047. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;There seems to be this stigma that if you live in a council house you have a free house and you get loads of benefit money.&lt;/p&gt;
  7048.  
  7049.  
  7050.  
  7051. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Maybe that&amp;#8217;s the case for some people but for the majority of us we pay our rent we pay our council tax.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7062. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MARCUS RASHFORD has got a pep in his step once again as he hit his first Premier League goal for Aston Villa.&lt;/p&gt;
  7063.  
  7064.  
  7065.  
  7066. &lt;p&gt;The English striker now has seven goal contributions in just six starts since joining Aston Villa on loan in January after a bitter exit from Manchester United.&lt;/p&gt;
  7067.  
  7068.  
  7069.  
  7070. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232001&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/editorial-use-no-use-unauthorised-984292634.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Marcus Rashford of Aston Villa celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232001&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Marcus Rashford bagged another goal for Aston Villa[/caption]
  7071.  
  7072.  
  7073.  
  7074. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232183&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-aston-villas-marco-asensio-984295639.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Marco Asensio celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232183&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;642&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Marco Asensio continued his rich vein of form[/caption]
  7075.  
  7076.  
  7077.  
  7078. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232191&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/11-simon-adingra-scores-teams-984291329.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Brighton's Simon Adingra (#11) shoots during a soccer match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232191&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Brighton&amp;#8217;s Simon Adingra saw an equaliser ruled out in the second half[/caption]
  7079.  
  7080.  
  7081.  
  7082. &lt;p&gt;But the move couldn’t have gone better for him with the forward now a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/champions-league/&quot;&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt; quarter-finalist, an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fa-cup/&quot;&gt;FA Cup&lt;/a&gt; semi-finalist and also on a sprint finish towards the top four.&lt;/p&gt;
  7083.  
  7084.  
  7085.  
  7086. &lt;p&gt;Rashford was on target on 51 minutes, then Brighton’s Simon Adingra had a goal chalked off by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/var/&quot;&gt;VAR&lt;/a&gt; for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kaoru-mitoma/&quot;&gt;Kaoru Mitoma&lt;/a&gt; handball before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marco-asensio/&quot;&gt;Marco Asensio&lt;/a&gt; doubled the lead on 78 minutes and Donyell Malen topped it all off in added time.&lt;/p&gt;
  7087.  
  7088.  
  7089.  
  7090. &lt;p&gt;Rashford’s last top-flight goal came four months ago on December 1 in Manchester United’s 4-0 drubbing of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196662/everton/&quot;&gt;Everton&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7091.  
  7092.  
  7093.  
  7094. &lt;p&gt;All the talk then was how the Rashford revival was on but how times have changed since then.&lt;/p&gt;
  7095.  
  7096.  
  7097.  
  7098. &lt;p&gt;The 27-year-old is now loving life under Villa boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/unai-emery/&quot;&gt;Unai Emery&lt;/a&gt; who he has the trust of &amp;#8211; something lost under former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/old-trafford/&quot;&gt;Old Trafford&lt;/a&gt; bosses &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/erik-ten-hag/&quot;&gt;Erik ten Hag&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7099.  
  7100.  
  7101.  
  7102. &lt;p&gt;The fans love him too, and the away end was bouncing throughout, rubbing salt into Brighton’s wounds with chants of ‘Que Sera, Sera’ after Villa booked their spot at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wembley/&quot;&gt;Wembley&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7103.  
  7104.  
  7105.  
  7106. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile the Seagulls suffered heartbreak when they were knocked out by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225889/nottingham-forest/&quot;&gt;Nottingham Forest&lt;/a&gt; in a penalty shootout on Saturday and relying on finishing in the European spots to brighten up this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  7107.  
  7108.  
  7109.  
  7110. &lt;p&gt;There was a nervy start for Bart Verbruggen as he spilled Ezri Konsa’s header but recovered just before Rashford could pounce on the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  7111.  
  7112.  
  7113.  
  7114. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-match-stats-a8177587-2752-4adb-9922-2b7973fc8e62.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-match-stats-a8177587-2752-4adb-9922-2b7973fc8e62.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Match stats graphic showing Brighton vs Aston Villa; Brighton 0, Aston Villa 3.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232482&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

  7127.  
  7128.  
  7129.  
  7130. &lt;p&gt;Rashford hit back again after latching onto Boubacar Kamara’s inch-perfect cross and twisting inside and out before firing wide.&lt;/p&gt;
  7131.  
  7132.  
  7133.  
  7134. &lt;p&gt;On 25 minutes Adingra brought the game to life with a peach of a shot just wide of the far post after being teed up by Mitoma.&lt;/p&gt;

  7153. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  7155.  
  7156.  
  7157.  
  7158. &lt;p&gt;The Amex went bezerk as Mitoma went to the floor after a light shove from Matty Cash in the box, but referee Stuart Attwell waved the penalty shouts away.&lt;/p&gt;
  7159.  
  7160.  
  7161.  
  7162. &lt;p&gt;It was a clash of two very animated managers on the touchline, who started going at it.&lt;/p&gt;
  7163.  
  7164.  
  7165.  
  7166. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/fabian-hurzeler/&quot;&gt;Fabian Hurzeler&lt;/a&gt; was giving fourth official Simon Hooper an earful before Unai Emery complained that the Brighton boss was out of his technical area, despite often being out of his own.&lt;/p&gt;
  7167.  
  7168.  
  7169.  
  7170. &lt;p&gt;There was a VAR check after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-hinshelwood/&quot;&gt;Jack Hinshelwood&lt;/a&gt; cleverly poked the ball away from an onrushing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jacob-ramsey/&quot;&gt;Jacob Ramsey&lt;/a&gt; in the box, but no penalty was given.&lt;/p&gt;
  7171.  
  7172.  
  7173.  
  7174. &lt;p&gt;Just before the break Yasin Ayari curled a jaw-dropping free-kick off the post before the ball ricocheted onto the arm of Ramsey but there was nothing he could do about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  7175.  
  7176.  
  7177.  
  7178. &lt;p&gt;Brighton were livid, with huge shouts that there should have been a penalty for handball.&lt;/p&gt;
  7179.  
  7180.  
  7181.  
  7182. &lt;p&gt;Martinez saved a Jan Paul van Hecke header then rolled it out to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/morgan-rogers/&quot;&gt;Morgan Rogers&lt;/a&gt; who put it on a plate for Rashford to produce a lovely finish.&lt;/p&gt;
  7183.  
  7184.  
  7185.  
  7186. &lt;p&gt;The lead seemed to have lasted just four minutes as a desperate scramble in the box left Adingra slotting home from close range on 55 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  7187.  
  7188.  
  7189.  
  7190. &lt;p&gt;But VAR rained on Brighton&amp;#8217;s parade as referee Attwell was called over to the monitor as the ball had struck Mitoma’s arm in the process and no goal was given.&lt;/p&gt;
  7191.  
  7192.  
  7193.  
  7194. &lt;p&gt;Villa were in dreamland when Asensio doubled the lead by slotting into the bottom corner, with the assist again coming from Rogers on 78 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  7195.  
  7196.  
  7197.  
  7198. &lt;p&gt;The away end was singing ‘Is this the Way to Barcelona’ as Brighton fans flooded to the nearest exits.&lt;/p&gt;
  7199.  
  7200.  
  7201.  
  7202. &lt;p&gt;In the dying seconds John McGinn outmuscled his man to play the ball to Asensio, who in turn teed up Donyell Malen for the icing on the cake, 10 minutes into injury time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7203.

  7241.  
  7242.  
  7243.  
  7244. &lt;p&gt;But the pews in the Church of St Nye Bevan — the Labour health minister who oversaw the creation of the NHS in 1948 — are beginning to empty, and quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
  7245.  
  7246.  
  7247.  
  7248. &lt;p&gt;Since 1983, the National Centre for Social Research has been asking people for their views on the NHS as part of its Social Attitudes Survey. &lt;/p&gt;
  7249.  
  7250.  
  7251.  
  7252. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34200788/nhs-patient-satisfaction-plummets/&quot;&gt;The number of people saying they are satisfied&lt;/a&gt; has fallen to a record low of just 20 per cent, with 55 per cent saying they are dissatisfied.&lt;/p&gt;
  7253.  
  7254.  
  7255.  
  7256. &lt;p&gt;The collapse in public confidence has been dramatic.&lt;/p&gt;
  7257.  
  7258.  
  7259.  
  7260. &lt;p&gt;Remarkably, faith in the NHS remained high throughout the years of supposed “austerity”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7261.  
  7262.  
  7263.  
  7264. &lt;p&gt;In 2012, the year of the bouncing nurses at the London Olympics, the figures were the other way around, with 60 per cent satisfied and 23 per cent dissatisfied.&lt;/p&gt;
  7265.  
  7266.  
  7267.  
  7268. &lt;p&gt;Two years later, when &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-cameron/&quot;&gt;David Cameron&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/george-osborne/&quot;&gt;George Osborne&lt;/a&gt; were still being accused of laying the NHS to waste, satisfaction had climbed to 65 per cent and dissatisfaction to just 15 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  7269.  
  7270.  
  7271.  
  7272. &lt;p&gt;Everything has changed since the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7273.  
  7274.  
  7275.  
  7276. &lt;p&gt;We no longer seem to have much confidence that the NHS will make us better.&lt;/p&gt;
  7277.  
  7278.  
  7279.  
  7280. &lt;p&gt;Satisfaction is especially low regarding A&amp;amp;E and dentistry, and not much higher for general practice.&lt;/p&gt;
  7281.  
  7282.  
  7283.  
  7284. &lt;p&gt;Can anyone really be surprised?&lt;/p&gt;

  7305.  
  7306.  
  7307.  
  7308. &lt;p&gt;For too many of us, securing an appointment with a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;GP&lt;/a&gt; has become a frustrating &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt;, requiring a mad early morning dash to the phones.&lt;/p&gt;
  7309.  
  7310.  
  7311.  
  7312. &lt;p&gt;Five years after Covid-19, GPs are still finding excuses to keep patients out of the surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
  7313.  
  7314.  
  7315.  
  7316. &lt;p&gt;The percentage of appointments carried out face to face has never recovered. In 2019/20 it was nearly 80 per cent. &lt;/p&gt;
  7317.  
  7318.  
  7319.  
  7320. &lt;p&gt;In 2023/24 it was only 68 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  7321.  
  7322.  
  7323.  
  7324. &lt;p&gt;Then, of course, came the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strikes/&quot;&gt;strikes&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  7325.  
  7326.  
  7327.  
  7328. &lt;p&gt;Unions seemed to believe that the public were so madly in love with the NHS that they would get away with holding the country to ransom.&lt;/p&gt;
  7329.  
  7330.  
  7331.  
  7332. &lt;p&gt;They were wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  7333.  
  7334.  
  7335.  
  7336. &lt;p&gt;While there were quite high levels of sympathy to begin with, support began to slide for every month the strikes continued. &lt;/p&gt;
  7337.  
  7338.  
  7339.  
  7340. &lt;p&gt;By the beginning of last year, a majority disapproved of strikes by consultants and support for junior doctors was plunging just as quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
  7341.  
  7342.  
  7343.  
  7344. &lt;p&gt;Striking for a 35 per cent pay rise, as junior doctors did, doesn’t go down well among people who are themselves struggling with a cost-of-living crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
  7345.  
  7346.  
  7347.  
  7348. &lt;p&gt;The knee-jerk reaction on the Left towards poor NHS performance is always to demand more money for the health service. &lt;/p&gt;
  7349.  
  7350.  
  7351.  
  7352. &lt;p&gt;But its real problem is declining productivity.&lt;/p&gt;
  7353.  
  7354.  
  7355.  
  7356. &lt;p&gt;In 2022 — after the pandemic but before the strikes — the average worker in the NHS was producing 15 per cent less than they were in 2017/18.&lt;/p&gt;
  7357.  
  7358.  
  7359.  
  7360. &lt;p&gt;There is little to make anyone think that its performance will have improved since &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves&lt;/a&gt; bought off doctors by stuffing their mouths with gold, to borrow an expression from Nye Bevan. &lt;/p&gt;
  7361.  
  7362.  
  7363.  
  7364. &lt;p&gt;To be fair to Health Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wes-streeting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wes Streeting&lt;/a&gt;, he seems less starry-eyed about the NHS than his predecessors. &lt;/p&gt;
  7365.  
  7366.  
  7367.  
  7368. &lt;p&gt;His own experience as a cancer patient led him to recognise the yawning gap between the myth of the NHS and its reality.&lt;/p&gt;
  7369.  
  7370.  
  7371.  
  7372. &lt;p&gt;He has taken a step, which the Conservatives failed miserably to take, to abolish the bumbling bureaucracy that is &lt;span&gt;NHS&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; — a Cameron-era creation that was supposed to improve the workings of the NHS single market, but which was rather better at creating job opportunities for pen-pushers.&lt;/p&gt;
  7373.  
  7374.  
  7375.  
  7376. &lt;p&gt;The long years of adulation towards the NHS are a big part of the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  7377.  
  7378.  
  7379.  
  7380. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;State-owned monolith&lt;/h2&gt;
  7381.  
  7382.  
  7383.  
  7384. &lt;p&gt;No government dared properly to tackle the inadequacies of the system because they were too frightened of public &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/opinion/&quot;&gt;opinion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7385.  
  7386.  
  7387.  
  7388. &lt;p&gt;They feared the public would always take the unions’ side.&lt;/p&gt;
  7389.  
  7390.  
  7391.  
  7392. &lt;p&gt;The craven attitude has stopped the nation asking: Does every hospital, clinic and surgery have to be owned by, or be under the control of, a single, state-owned monolith? &lt;/p&gt;
  7393.  
  7394.  
  7395.  
  7396. &lt;p&gt;Surely, what the public cherishes about NHS healthcare is that it is either free on the point of delivery or at least accessible to everyone regardless of means, not who directly employs the people treating them or owns the building in which they are treated.&lt;/p&gt;
  7397.  
  7398.  
  7399.  
  7400. &lt;p&gt;The private sector has the potential to lower costs and improve treatment, yet it provides only a minuscule proportion of NHS treatments because governments have been too frightened of the ideological charge that they are “privatising the NHS”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7401.  
  7402.  
  7403.  
  7404. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34228380&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/children-nurses-representing-great-ormond-984249141.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Children and nurses in period costume performing at the 2012 London Olympic Games opening ceremony.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34228380&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;679&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;What other country would have incorporated a troupe of nurses bouncing on hospital beds into the opening ceremony of an Olympic Games?[/caption]
  7405.  
  7406.  
  7407.  
  7408. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Interestingly, it is&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34200788/nhs-patient-satisfaction-plummets/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;young people who are losing faith in the NHS the fastest.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7409.  
  7410.  
  7411.  
  7412. &lt;p&gt;Among the over-65s, satisfaction actually rose a little last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  7413.  
  7414.  
  7415.  
  7416. &lt;p&gt;But for younger people who are used to being able to buy what they want, when they want it, book flights and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hotels/&quot;&gt;hotels&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;with a swipe of their phone, the NHS seems stuck in the years of post-war rationing.&lt;/p&gt;
  7417.  
  7418.  
  7419.  
  7420. &lt;p&gt;The rest of the world has moved on, and it is about time the NHS did, too.&lt;/p&gt;

  7441. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PRESENTER Anna Woolhouse has revealed that she underwent surgery for her endometriosis last week.&lt;/p&gt;
  7442.  
  7443.  
  7444.  
  7445. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky-sports/&quot;&gt;Sky Sports&lt;/a&gt; star, 41, uploaded a selfie taken in her hospital bed, in addition to a heartfelt message.&lt;/p&gt;

  7454.  
  7455.  
  7456.  
  7457. &lt;p&gt;Woolhouse also uploaded a picture of her patched up stomach post-surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
  7458.  
  7459.  
  7460.  
  7461. &lt;p&gt;Updating fans, the popular presenter wrote: &amp;#8220;The comeback is always greater than the setback.&lt;/p&gt;
  7462.  
  7463.  
  7464.  
  7465. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s been quite the ride the past 7 days. Last week I had my second laparoscopic surgery for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/endometriosis/&quot;&gt;endometriosis&lt;/a&gt; in 7 years, it was done by the surgeon controlling a robot which blows my mind (avoid slide 2 if you’re squeamish!) it ended up being a slightly chunkier op than I’d bargained for but all ok in the end.&lt;/p&gt;
  7466.  
  7467.  
  7468.  
  7469. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;March was endometriosis awareness month, I know I’m a couple of days late, but it’s important to still shine a light on condition that still isn’t known or spoken about nearly enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  7470.  
  7471.  
  7472.  
  7473. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is a condition that affects 1 in 10 women and for so many even getting a diagnosis is a long, emotional and painful process and can be incredibly debilitating to live with.&lt;/p&gt;
  7474.  
  7475.  
  7476.  
  7477. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was first diagnosed back in 2017 after years of endless GP appointments.&lt;/p&gt;
  7478.  
  7479.  
  7480.  
  7481. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I had my first surgery in 2018 and for a couple of years my symptoms did improve, but alas it came back and in recent years has resulted in some heartbreaking blows and ultimately meant having another surgery, really hoping this will be it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7482.  
  7483.  
  7484.  
  7485. &lt;p&gt;Woolhouse is primarily known for presenting Sky Sports&amp;#8217; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/boxing/&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/a&gt; coverage.&lt;/p&gt;
  7486.

  7490.  
  7491.  
  7492.  
  7493. &lt;p&gt;She has worked at several &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/anthony-joshua/&quot;&gt;Anthony Joshua&lt;/a&gt; fights for the broadcaster.&lt;/p&gt;
  7494.  
  7495.  
  7496.  
  7497. &lt;p&gt;Just last month she presented coverage of Lauren Price&amp;#8217;s victory over Natasha Jonas at the Royal Albert Hall.&lt;/p&gt;
  7498.  
  7499.  
  7500.  
  7501. &lt;p&gt;In Woolhouse&amp;#8217;s latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; post, she also thanked staff at Cromwell Hospital in London, while also admitting that watching &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/married-at-first-sight/&quot;&gt;Married at First Sight&lt;/a&gt; on her iPad helped get her through.&lt;/p&gt;

  7529. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MATHEUS FRANCA heaped more misery on Southampton &amp;#8211; leaving Ivan Juric’s side with more work to do to avoid a Premier League low.&lt;/p&gt;
  7530.  
  7531.  
  7532.  
  7533. &lt;p&gt;Paul Onuachu’s first half header appeared to set &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196657/southampton/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Saints&lt;/a&gt; on course for the win that would take his side past Derby record low points tally of 11 set in 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
  7534.  
  7535.  
  7536.  
  7537. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232401&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/matheus-franca-crystal-palace-celebrates-984298419.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Matheus Franca of Crystal Palace celebrates scoring a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232401&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;654&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Matheus Franca cruelly denied Southampton a key win with a late equaliser[/caption]
  7538.  
  7539.  
  7540.  
  7541. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232406&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/matheus-franca-crystal-palace-scores-984299196.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Matheus Franca of Crystal Palace scoring a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232406&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Franca fired the ball low past Aaron Ramsdale as Saints still face making unwanted history[/caption]
  7542.  
  7543.  
  7544.  
  7545. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196666/crystal-palace/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Palace&lt;/a&gt; substitute Franca headed the equaliser in added time that denied Ivan Juric’s side a third league win of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  7546.  
  7547.  
  7548.  
  7549. &lt;p&gt;At least the draw meant the south coast club avoided the possibility of becoming the first Premier League club to go down with seven games remaining this weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  7550.  
  7551.  
  7552.  
  7553. &lt;p&gt;The admission by keeper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/aaron-ramsdale/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Aaron Ramsdale&lt;/a&gt; ahead of this game that beating Derby’s tally was Southampton’s main aim summed up the club’s dire position.&lt;/p&gt;
  7554.  
  7555.  
  7556.  
  7557. &lt;p&gt;And there was little suggest that the meeting with in-form Palace would bring relief.&lt;/p&gt;
  7558.  
  7559.  
  7560.  
  7561. &lt;p&gt;The Eagles progress this season has led to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34200597/jurgen-klopp-premier-league-manager-leipzig-oliver-glasner/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Oliver Glasner&lt;/a&gt; being linked with RB Leipzig.&lt;/p&gt;
  7562.  
  7563.  
  7564.  
  7565. &lt;p&gt;And they arrived at St Mary’s fresh from booking their place in the FA Cup semi-finals and a trip to Wembley.&lt;/p&gt;
  7566.  
  7567.  
  7568.  
  7569. &lt;p&gt;The quarter-final win at Fulham last Saturday marked Palace’s seventh successive clean sheet on the road &amp;#8211; and a club record sixth successive away win.&lt;/p&gt;
  7570.  
  7571.  
  7572.  
  7573. &lt;p&gt;And the opening seconds only reinforced the sense that Glasner’s side were in the mood to keep their impressive away streak growing.&lt;/p&gt;
  7574.  
  7575.  
  7576.  
  7577. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7578.  
  7579.  
  7580.  
  7581. &lt;p&gt;The way &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34130662/mateta-ear-injury-headband-crystal-palace-news/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jean-Philippe Mateta&lt;/a&gt; easily turned Jan Bednarek sounded a warning &amp;#8211; and Ramsdale was then relieved to see the striker thundering long-range shot crash against the underside of bar and away to safety.&lt;/p&gt;
  7582.  
  7583.  
  7584.  
  7585. &lt;p&gt;With two minutes gone it looked as though it would be a case of same old, same old for Saints.&lt;/p&gt;

  7614.  
  7615.  
  7616.  
  7617. &lt;p&gt;But to their credit they put that early shock behind them and began to pressure Palace.&lt;/p&gt;
  7618.  
  7619.  
  7620.  
  7621. &lt;p&gt;Mateus Fernandes was prominent in their best moves and the playmaker gave the visitors a scare when his deflected shot looped over the bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  7622.  
  7623.  
  7624.  
  7625. &lt;p&gt;The effort appeared to give Saints a lift and Juric’s side continued to press forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  7626.  
  7627.  
  7628.  
  7629. &lt;p&gt;And their efforts were rewarded in the 20th minute when Onuachu headed them in front with his fourth goal of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  7630.  
  7631.  
  7632.  
  7633. &lt;p&gt;Fernandes was at the heart of the move as he exchanged passes with Flynn Downes to make progress on the right.&lt;/p&gt;
  7634.  
  7635.  
  7636.  
  7637. &lt;p&gt;And the playmaker then whipped in a cross that Onuachu headed downwards and past Dean Henderson.&lt;/p&gt;
  7638.  
  7639.  
  7640.  
  7641. &lt;p&gt;Southampton were in unfamiliar territory and the St Mary’s crowd were determined to enjoy it, launching into a tongue-in-cheek chant of “we are staying up”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7642.  
  7643.  
  7644.  
  7645. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-match-stats-5762aa1a-f560-40a2-9052-8b5a69cd8c42.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-sun-22-23-match-stats-5762aa1a-f560-40a2-9052-8b5a69cd8c42.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Southampton vs Crystal Palace match stats infographic.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232589&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  7646.  
  7647.  
  7648.  
  7649. &lt;p&gt;Glasner will have expected to the goal to have fired his side into life.&lt;/p&gt;
  7650.  
  7651.  
  7652.  
  7653. &lt;p&gt;But there was little sign of a response from the visitors who continued to labour in the final third.&lt;/p&gt;
  7654.  
  7655.  
  7656.  
  7657. &lt;p&gt;And when Mateta did produce a smart turn and shot after being picked out by Daniel Munoz, Ramsdale reacted well to save low to his left.&lt;/p&gt;
  7658.  
  7659.  
  7660.  
  7661. &lt;p&gt;A strong run by Ismaila Sarr at the start of the second half suggested Palace were ready to fight back &amp;#8211; but Eberechi Eze’s poor finish meant the chance was wasted.&lt;/p&gt;
  7662.  
  7663.  
  7664.  
  7665. &lt;p&gt;And from that point Saints rarely looked like missing out on only a second home league win until Franca struck.&lt;/p&gt;
  7666.

  7708. &lt;p&gt;Fenerbahce hosted their Turkish rivals at the Sukru Saracoglu in the quarter-finals of the Turkish Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
  7709.  
  7710.  
  7711.  
  7712. &lt;p&gt;And the Portuguese tactician saw his team crash out after a 2-1 defeat to Buruk&amp;#8217;s side.&lt;/p&gt;

  7721.  
  7722.  
  7723.  
  7724. &lt;p&gt;Tensions flared in the second half as the referee showed three red cards.&lt;/p&gt;
  7725.  
  7726.  
  7727.  
  7728. &lt;p&gt;Fener&amp;#8217;s Mert Hakan Yandas and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1331838/galatasaray/&quot;&gt;Galatasaray&lt;/a&gt; duo Kerem Demirbay and Baris Alper Yilmaz were all sent off in the second minute of added time.&lt;/p&gt;
  7729.  
  7730.  
  7731.  
  7732. &lt;p&gt;That is despite the fact none of the three were on the pitch during that time.&lt;/p&gt;
  7733.

  7744. &lt;p&gt;That was when he grabbed Buruk&amp;#8217;s nose and left everyone in shock.&lt;/p&gt;
  7745.  
  7746.  
  7747.  
  7748. &lt;p&gt;The Turkish tactician was caught by surprise and collapsed to the ground.&lt;/p&gt;

  7780. &lt;p&gt;That bust-up came after another massive fracas on 88 minutes between the two benches as Yilmaz was substituted.&lt;/p&gt;
  7781.  
  7782.  
  7783.

  7832. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;WHEN Pep Guardiola was wondering where the goals would come from in Erling Haaland’s absence, it’s fair to assume he wouldn’t have thought of Jack Grealish.&lt;/p&gt;
  7833.  
  7834.  
  7835.  
  7836. &lt;p&gt;After all before last night, the £100 million man had not found the net in the Premier League since December 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  7837.  
  7838.  
  7839.  
  7840. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232124&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/editorial-use-no-use-unauthorised-984282198.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Manchester City players celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232124&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Jack Grealish netted his first Prem goal since 2023 as Man City beat Leicester 2-0[/caption]
  7841.  
  7842.  
  7843.  
  7844. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232126&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/editorial-use-no-use-unauthorised-984285680.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Omar Marmoush of Manchester City celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232126&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Omar Marmoush also netted as he continued his fine form[/caption]
  7845.  
  7846.  
  7847.  
  7848. &lt;p&gt;He has found games hard to come by, struggling for form and fitness since helping &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot;&gt;Manchester City&lt;/a&gt; to the treble almost two years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  7849.  
  7850.  
  7851.  
  7852. &lt;p&gt;But he was handed a rare vote of confidence with just a seventh Prem start of the season &amp;#8211; as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot;&gt;Guardiola&lt;/a&gt; looked to find a way to win  against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196651/leicester-city/&quot;&gt;Leicester&lt;/a&gt; without the crocked 30 goal forward &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/erling-haaland/&quot;&gt;Haaland.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7853.  
  7854.  
  7855.  
  7856. &lt;p&gt;And within two minutes, he repaid him.&lt;/p&gt;
  7857.  
  7858.  
  7859.  
  7860. &lt;p&gt;Thousands of City fans stuck to their plan to stay in the concourses until the ninth minute of the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  7861.  
  7862.  
  7863.  
  7864. &lt;p&gt;This was in protest at the way the club is treating it’s hardcore support – but in particular the link-up&amp;nbsp; with another third-party ticket company this week – the ninth one currently involved.&lt;/p&gt;
  7865.  
  7866.  
  7867.  
  7868. &lt;p&gt;The large number of empty blue seats were an eye-catching way to make a point but unfortunately for those involved they missed something of a collector’s item within the first two minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  7869.  
  7870.  
  7871.  
  7872. &lt;p&gt;Grealish remains a popular figure with the Etihad faithful despite a frustrating couple of years.&lt;/p&gt;
  7873.  
  7874.  
  7875.  
  7876. &lt;p&gt;So the fans who were in their seats were thrilled when he got on the end of Savinho’s pull-back to sweep home from 12 yards.&lt;/p&gt;
  7877.  
  7878.  
  7879.  
  7880. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32916258/best-free-bets-sign-up-offers-uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7881.  
  7882.  
  7883.  
  7884. &lt;p&gt;Among those in the stands was Guardiola, who was serving a touchline ban following his yellow card at Bournemouth at the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  7885.  
  7886.  
  7887.  
  7888. &lt;p&gt;He had given his record signing a much-needed boost by picking him in a central role ahead of Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden – and it had paid off.&lt;/p&gt;

  7982.  
  7983.  
  7984.

  7989. &lt;p&gt;Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men keep making life difficult for themselves and even against a below par City team it always felt like a long way back.&lt;/p&gt;
  7990.  
  7991.  
  7992.  
  7993. &lt;p&gt;Even so they came within a whisker of equalising when Bilal El Khannouss curled a shot that beat Ederson but curled just wide of the post.&lt;/p&gt;

  8057.  
  8058.  
  8059.  
  8060. &lt;p&gt;And just before the half hour mark, they went further behind and it was completely of their own making.&lt;/p&gt;
  8061.  
  8062.  
  8063.  
  8064. &lt;p&gt;Ruben Dias chipped a hopeful ball forward which bounced awkwardly in front of Hermansen.&lt;/p&gt;
  8065.  
  8066.  
  8067.  
  8068. &lt;p&gt;In fairness his defender Wout Faes did him no favours as he thought about clearing it but even so the Danish keeper should have held on to it.&lt;/p&gt;
  8069.  
  8070.  
  8071.  
  8072. &lt;p&gt;Instead he spilled it at the feet of Marmoush who thumped his shot in off the underside of the bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  8073.  
  8074.  
  8075.

  8077.  
  8078.  
  8079.  
  8080. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232139&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/celebrates-scoring-second-goal-manchester-984286522.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Manchester City players celebrating a goal.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232139&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;642&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The Egyptian showed he can fill in up top for the injured Erling Haaland[/caption]
  8081.  
  8082.  
  8083.  
  8084. &lt;p&gt;That’s 39 goal contributions for the Egyptian in 38 appearances for City and former club Eintracht Frankfurt this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  8085.  
  8086.  
  8087.  
  8088. &lt;p&gt;Not a bad option to step in when you lose your main man.&lt;/p&gt;
  8089.  
  8090.  
  8091.  
  8092. &lt;p&gt;The £64million man could have added another when he turned on to Savinho’s cross but saw his effort blocked by Faes.&lt;/p&gt;
  8093.  
  8094.  
  8095.  
  8096. &lt;p&gt;And Hermansen partly made amends for his earlier clanger by smartly tipping over a rising effort from Savinho.&lt;/p&gt;
  8097.  
  8098.  
  8099.  
  8100. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232143&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/epa12005903-pep-guardiola-manager-manchester-984290493.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Pep Guardiola reacting in the stands during a soccer match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232143&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;708&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;EPA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Pep Guardiola watched the game from the crowd[/caption]

  8105.  
  8106.  
  8107.  
  8108. &lt;p&gt;Guardiola spent the game sat with a tech expert in the stands to ensure all his messages to his assistant Juanma Lillo were getting through.&lt;/p&gt;
  8109.  
  8110.  
  8111.  
  8112. &lt;p&gt;He was probably telling him to go for a third goal to put the game to bed so he could turn his thoughts to Sunday’s derby at Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  8113.  
  8114.  
  8115.  
  8116. &lt;p&gt;That will surely be a sterner test than the team managed by former Red Devils hero Van Nistelrooy.&lt;/p&gt;
  8117.  
  8118.  
  8119.  
  8120. &lt;p&gt;Yet for all City’s possession they struggled to find a way through with Marmoush firing one effort high over the bar when you would have expected him to hit the target.&lt;/p&gt;
  8121.  
  8122.  
  8123.  
  8124. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232150&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/editorial-use-no-use-unauthorised-984282370.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Ruud van Nistelrooy, Leicester City manager, adjusting his collar.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232150&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Things are looking bleak for Ruud van Nistelrooy[/caption]

  8129.  
  8130.  
  8131.  
  8132. &lt;p&gt;Leicester’s skipper Jamie Vardy had gone off at half-time and there was little threat from the visitors &amp;#8211; with or without the veteran striker.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8133.  
  8134.  
  8135.  
  8136. &lt;p&gt;With the minutes ticking by and his team not needing to get out of second gear, Guardiola sent a message down to throw on his Norwegian forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  8137.  
  8138.  
  8139.  
  8140. &lt;p&gt;Although it wasn’t you know who.&lt;/p&gt;
  8141.  
  8142.  
  8143.  
  8144. &lt;p&gt;Oscar Bobb was expected to be a shining light for City this year after shining on the pr-season tour of America but broke his leg in training in August.&lt;/p&gt;
  8145.  
  8146.  
  8147.  
  8148. &lt;p&gt;He has had to be patient in his comeback but was given a few mintues as a replacement for Savinho at the end and was given a rapturous welcome back by the fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  8149.  
  8150.  
  8151.  
  8152. &lt;p&gt;Bobb could be a useful addition as City look to nail down that Champions League place and also go for glory in the FA Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
  8153.  
  8154.  
  8155.

  8168. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHELSEA’S controversial sale of the club’s women’s team to its parent company has YET to be passed by Prem legal chiefs.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8169.  
  8170.  
  8171.  
  8172. &lt;p&gt;In their 2023-24 accounts, partially disclosed on Monday, the Stamford Bridge club disclosed it had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34173004/chelsea-sell-womens-team-blue-co-psr/&quot;&gt;raised £198m from the “repositioning of Chelsea Football Club Women”&lt;/a&gt; as part of a “disposal of subsidiaries” to parent company BlueCo 22.&lt;/p&gt;
  8173.  
  8174.  
  8175.  
  8176. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231903&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/a494ac65-a7d8-49b4-9c5c-2e0c1e6f09a5.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Three Chelsea Women's football players in blue jerseys talking on the pitch.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231903&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;663&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The Premier League is yet to approve Chelsea&amp;#8217;s sale of its women&amp;#8217;s team to BlueCo 22&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  8177.  
  8178.  
  8179.  
  8180. &lt;p&gt;While the precise sum has not been confirmed, it is understood that the value of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; women’s side was potentially in excess of £150m.&lt;/p&gt;
  8181.  
  8182.  
  8183.  
  8184. &lt;p&gt;Another asset believed to be involved was the Kingsmeadow former home of Kingstonians and AFC Wimbledon that is the regular home of Sonia Bompastor’s WSL leaders.&lt;/p&gt;
  8185.  
  8186.  
  8187.  
  8188. &lt;p&gt;The deals helped turn a £90m loss in 2022-23 into a £128m pre-tax profit last season.&lt;/p&gt;
  8189.  
  8190.  
  8191.  
  8192. &lt;p&gt;But while there is not thought to be any serious prospect of Chelsea being charged with a PSR breach for last term, the club confirmed its valuation of the deal has yet to be approved by the League.&lt;/p&gt;
  8193.  
  8194.  
  8195.  
  8196. &lt;p&gt;Discussions are continuing, with questions over whether the deal between two “associated parties” was at “fair market value”.&lt;/p&gt;
  8197.  
  8198.  
  8199.  
  8200. &lt;p&gt;Europe’s most successful women’s side, Lyon Feminin, was sold to a US conglomerate in a deal which valued the club at around £45m in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  8201.  
  8202.  
  8203.  
  8204. &lt;p&gt;That value was dwarfed by the £190m auction price of the Los Angeles-based&amp;nbsp; Angel City NWSL franchise in September.&lt;/p&gt;
  8205.  
  8206.  
  8207.  
  8208. &lt;p&gt;It is likely that Chelsea will be able to argue that a nine-figure sum is legitimate but they may be forced to scale back the claimed value &amp;#8211; although that is unlikely to threaten their positive PSR position over the three year cycle.&lt;/p&gt;
  8209.  
  8210.  
  8211.  
  8212. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32916258/best-free-bets-sign-up-offers-uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8213.  
  8214.  
  8215.  
  8216. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea’s official statement over the sale read: “The profit for the year before taxation was £128.4m compared with a loss of £90.1m for the prior year as the club benefitted from increased profit on disposal of player registrations and repositioning of Chelsea Football Club Women Ltd.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8217.  
  8218.  
  8219.  
  8220. &lt;p&gt;“This new approach will ensure CFCW has dedicated resources, management and commercial leadership solely focused on the growth and success of the women’s team.&lt;/p&gt;

  8248. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;However, the club’s broadcasting receipts benefited from an improved sixth-place finish in the Premier League and semi-final and final appearances in the FA Cup and League Cup respectively.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  8252. &lt;p&gt;“There was a decrease in operational costs in the year, to offset the fall in revenue resulting in a stable operating loss in comparison to the previous year.&lt;/p&gt;
  8253.  
  8254.  
  8255.  
  8256. &lt;p&gt;“The women’s team reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the second consecutive year and were champions of the Women’s Super League to further boost the broadcasting receipts.&lt;/p&gt;
  8257.  
  8258.  
  8259.  
  8260. &lt;p&gt;“Matchday revenue increased to £80.1m as an average attendance of approximately 40,000 was maintained, and there were three more women’s team matches held at Stamford Bridge during the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  8261.  
  8262.  
  8263.  
  8264. &lt;p&gt;“The growth in commercial revenue to £225.3m was driven by an increase in player loan income and strong sales of non-matchday activities, including stadium tours and merchandise sales.&lt;/p&gt;
  8265.  
  8266.  
  8267.  
  8268. &lt;p&gt;“Decreased operating expenses, including matchday and non-matchday costs, profits on disposal of player registrations of £152.5m and a profit on disposal of subsidiaries of £198.7m, led to the group recording an overall net profit of £129.6m after tax.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  8291. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;TRAPPED in a tiny cage, a lioness cowers in terror as bombs drop around her in war- ravaged Kyiv.&lt;/p&gt;
  8292.  
  8293.  
  8294.  
  8295. &lt;p&gt;Heartbreaking footage of the three-year-old &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22734430/lioness-cubs-trapped-front-line-war-ukraine-rescued/&quot;&gt;big cat&lt;/a&gt; shows her struggling to move as she suffers from shell shock.&lt;/p&gt;

  8304.  
  8305.  
  8306.  
  8307. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230967&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sisters-amani-lira-taking-move-982596032.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Two lionesses resting on a log.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230967&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Olivia West&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Lion sisters Amani and Lira, both three, were removed from a breeding facility[/caption]
  8308.  
  8309.  
  8310.  
  8311. &lt;p&gt;The starving animal was so traumatised by the missiles exploding around her in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/ukraine/&quot;&gt;Ukraine&lt;/a&gt; that she lost all co-ordination and ability to stand on her four paws.&lt;/p&gt;
  8312.  
  8313.  
  8314.  
  8315. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully, lioness Yuna is now safe after the harrowing video clip reached the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10533308/wildlife-pics-tigers-lions-panthers-photography-kent/&quot;&gt;Big Cat Sanctuary&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kent&quot;&gt;Ashford, Kent&lt;/a&gt;, which took her in.&lt;/p&gt;
  8316.  
  8317.  
  8318.  
  8319. &lt;p&gt;Managing director Cam Whitnall — who put together an ambitious plan to rescue the stricken beast — told The Sun: “Animals are often the forgotten victims of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ukraine-war/&quot;&gt;war&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8320.  
  8321.  
  8322.  
  8323. &lt;p&gt;“When we think about conflict, our focus naturally turns to people — civilians, soldiers and displaced communities.&lt;/p&gt;
  8324.  
  8325.  
  8326.  
  8327. &lt;p&gt;“But animals, both wild and domestic, are caught in the crossfire, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  8328.  
  8329.  
  8330.  
  8331. &lt;p&gt;“Unlike humans, animals don’t start wars, they don’t take sides, they don’t have means to evacuate or seek shelter.&lt;/p&gt;
  8332.  
  8333.  
  8334.  
  8335. &lt;p&gt;“They are completely at the mercy of human decisions, which makes it our responsibility to protect them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8336.  
  8337.  
  8338.  
  8339. &lt;p&gt;Yuna had been brought to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kyiv/&quot;&gt;Kyiv&lt;/a&gt; illegally and kept trapped in a four metre by three metre cage on concrete. &lt;/p&gt;
  8340.  
  8341.  
  8342.  
  8343. &lt;p&gt;She had never been outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  8344.  
  8345.  
  8346.  
  8347. &lt;p&gt;The lioness was stranded without food as the war raged.&lt;/p&gt;

  8369.  
  8370.  
  8371. &lt;p&gt;But in January 2023, she was chanced upon by military volunteers searching homes in the city, where she had been abandoned.&lt;/p&gt;
  8372.  
  8373.  
  8374.  
  8375. &lt;p&gt;They alerted Natalia Popova, from Ukraine-based Wild Animals Rescue Center, whose team drove through the country’s capital while it was under siege to save Yuna.&lt;/p&gt;
  8376.  
  8377.  
  8378.  
  8379. &lt;p&gt;Handlers sedated and loaded the lioness into a truck to transport her to their nearby sanctuary.&lt;/p&gt;
  8380.  
  8381.  
  8382.  
  8383. &lt;p&gt;They found her to be severely malnourished, and the heavy shelling had left her so traumatised it had robbed her of her ability to stand, walk or move.&lt;/p&gt;
  8384.  
  8385.  
  8386.  
  8387. &lt;p&gt;Rescuers feared she may have to be put to sleep to end her suffering.&lt;/p&gt;
  8388.  
  8389.  
  8390.  
  8391. &lt;p&gt;After seeing the video of Yuna’s ordeal on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;, Cam reached out to offer a safe space for the lioness and, after intense planning, she finally arrived in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/uk&quot;&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt; last summer. &lt;/p&gt;
  8392.  
  8393.  
  8394.  
  8395. &lt;p&gt;But one big cat for rehoming quickly became five.&lt;/p&gt;
  8396.  
  8397.  
  8398.  
  8399. &lt;p&gt;Male lion Rori, three, was trapped in the Sumy region, next to heavily besieged Kharkiv — and was also suffering from shell shock, which affected his hind legs.&lt;/p&gt;
  8400.  
  8401.  
  8402.  
  8403. &lt;p&gt;Then there was Vanda, 18 months, who had been kept in southern Ukraine as a family pet.&lt;/p&gt;
  8404.  
  8405.  
  8406.  
  8407. &lt;p&gt;She was riddled with parasites and suffering from rickets that had stunted her growth. &lt;/p&gt;
  8408.  
  8409.  
  8410.  
  8411. &lt;p&gt;Lion sisters Amani and Lira, both three, were also removed from a breeding facility.&lt;/p&gt;
  8412.  
  8413.  
  8414.  
  8415. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;ANSWER TO CRUELTY&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  8416.  
  8417.  
  8418.  
  8419. &lt;p&gt;All four had been purchased illegally and are believed to have been used for breeding or photos with tourists.&lt;/p&gt;
  8420.  
  8421.  
  8422.  
  8423. &lt;p&gt;But getting five big cats out of a war zone was no easy feat. &lt;/p&gt;
  8424.  
  8425.  
  8426.  
  8427. &lt;p&gt;Once loaded into a truck, Yuna, who travelled first, spent three days getting from Ukraine to The Big Cat Sanctuary. &lt;/p&gt;
  8428.  
  8429.  
  8430.  
  8431. &lt;p&gt;Rescuers had to act fast amid fears that if she did not reach a permanent home quickly, she might struggle to recover.&lt;/p&gt;
  8432.  
  8433.  
  8434.  
  8435. &lt;p&gt;But Rori’s rescue was to be much more difficult due to his location close to the border with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/russia&quot;&gt;Russia,&lt;/a&gt; which was under active fire.&lt;/p&gt;
  8436.  
  8437.  
  8438.  
  8439. &lt;p&gt;More than 600,000 civilians had been evacuated from the area, and Rori’s owner had left him behind in a private menagerie.&lt;/p&gt;
  8440.  
  8441.  
  8442.  
  8443. &lt;p&gt;Brave volunteers drove a truck into the Sumy region of Ukraine, facing shells falling around them, as they tried to get Rori sedated for safe travel. &lt;/p&gt;
  8444.  
  8445.  
  8446.  
  8447. &lt;p&gt;Once tranquillised, he was loaded into a crate and then carried to a truck for volunteers to drive him 2,326km to Natuurhulpcentrum in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/belgium&quot;&gt;Belgium&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  8448.  
  8449.  
  8450.  
  8451. &lt;p&gt;This is where he would stay until the Big Cat Sanctuary was finished building its new lion rehabilitation centre months later.&lt;/p&gt;
  8452.  
  8453.  
  8454.  
  8455. &lt;p&gt;Vanda was similarly moved from Southern Ukraine to Planckendael Zoo, Belgium, then Amani and Lira had a stop at Pairi Daiza, Belgium, awaiting transfer to the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  8456.  
  8457.  
  8458.  
  8459. &lt;p&gt;Last month, the four finally travelled to their forever home in Kent, where they joined Yuna. &lt;/p&gt;
  8460.  
  8461.  
  8462.  
  8463. &lt;p&gt;Each has a habitat specially designed for their individual needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  8464.

  8472.  
  8473.  
  8474.  
  8475. &lt;p&gt;Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, visited them in their new den. &lt;/p&gt;
  8476.  
  8477.  
  8478.  
  8479. &lt;p&gt;He hailed The Big Cat Sanctuary as a “place where life wins over war, and care is the best answer to cruelty”. &lt;/p&gt;
  8480.  
  8481.  
  8482.  
  8483. &lt;p&gt;He added: “The five lions, who now live here, are not just animals.&lt;/p&gt;
  8484.  
  8485.  
  8486.  
  8487. &lt;p&gt;“They are living victims of this war.&lt;/p&gt;
  8488.  
  8489.  
  8490.  
  8491. &lt;p&gt;“They have seen the darkness that comes when people forget kindness.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8492.  
  8493.  
  8494.  
  8495. &lt;p&gt;Sanctuary staff are impressed by how quickly all five have settled in.&lt;/p&gt;
  8496.  
  8497.  
  8498.  
  8499. &lt;p&gt;Cheeky Yuna is even “flirting” with Rori, who has been unofficially dubbed the King of Kent.&lt;/p&gt;
  8500.  
  8501.  
  8502.  
  8503. &lt;p&gt;Cam said of the lions’ custom-built lair: “This is a symbol of hope and resilience. &lt;/p&gt;
  8504.  
  8505.  
  8506.  
  8507. &lt;p&gt;“It is a place where these lions, who have endured so much, can finally experience safety, care and tranquillity.&lt;/p&gt;
  8508.  
  8509.  
  8510.  
  8511. &lt;p&gt;“What we have built here is more than just a home.&lt;/p&gt;
  8512.  
  8513.  
  8514.  
  8515. &lt;p&gt;“It’s a testament to what can be achieved when people unite for a greater cause.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8516.

  8542. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PAT HARDING never got the chance to share being an adult with his famous dad.&lt;/p&gt;
  8543.  
  8544.  
  8545.  
  8546. &lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; vice-chairman and major investor Matthew Harding was tragically killed in a 1996 helicopter crash with five others following&amp;nbsp;a League Cup game at Bolton, aged just 42.&lt;/p&gt;

  8559.  
  8560.  
  8561.  
  8562. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231669&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 677px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/775577-patrick-harding-son-former-984060208.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=667&quot; alt=&quot;Patrick Harding, chairman of Hassocks Football Club, managing parking and turnstiles.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231669&quot; width=&quot;667&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Pat is now the chairman of non-league side Hassocks where he also mans the parking and turnstiles&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Chris Eades&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  8563.  
  8564.  
  8565.  
  8566. &lt;p&gt;Pat was 12 so his dad never saw him grow up, get married, have children or embark on a&amp;nbsp;successful non-league playing career.&lt;/p&gt;
  8567.  
  8568.  
  8569.  
  8570. &lt;p&gt;But he did leave his young son with solid&amp;nbsp;values he has put to use to help lead &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/sussex/&quot;&gt;Sussex&lt;/a&gt; non-league club Hassocks to the biggest achievement in their 123-year history.&lt;/p&gt;
  8571.  
  8572.  
  8573.  
  8574. &lt;p&gt;Pat, in his first season as chairman, saw the village team from just outside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/3571589/brighton-hove-albion/&quot;&gt;Brighton&lt;/a&gt; clinch&amp;nbsp;the Southern Combination League title with a 3-0 win over Crowborough Athletic on Saturday in front of a record crowd of 807.&lt;/p&gt;
  8575.  
  8576.  
  8577.  
  8578. &lt;p&gt;The much-loved Sussex non-league striker — who played for Eastbourne Borough,  Hassocks, Horsham, Whitehawk and Burgess Hill — is often stewarding the car park, operating the turnstiles and chatting warmly to fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  8579.  
  8580.  
  8581.  
  8582. &lt;p&gt;It has echoes of when his dad visited local pubs on Chelsea matchdays and drank with supporters rather than schmoozing in VIP boxes.&lt;/p&gt;
  8583.  
  8584.  
  8585.  
  8586. &lt;p&gt;Pat, 41, told SunSport: “When I was aged between eight and 11, we went to a lot of games home and away.&lt;/p&gt;
  8587.  
  8588.  
  8589.  
  8590. &lt;p&gt;“We’d get the train and go into the pubs before and after matches. It wouldn’t have won him any Father of the Year awards but it was fun.&lt;/p&gt;
  8591.  
  8592.  
  8593.  
  8594. &lt;p&gt;“Dad had been kicked out of the Chelsea boardroom on matchdays after having a row with chairman Ken Bates, so we’d go to the local pub and mingle with fans instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  8595.  
  8596.  
  8597.  
  8598. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/joinsunclub/index.html?utm_source=onsite&amp;amp;utm_medium=boxout&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sunclub&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join SUN CLUB for the Chelsea Files every Tuesday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/joinsunclub/index.html?utm_source=onsite&amp;amp;utm_medium=boxout&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sunclub&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; plus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/joinsunclub/index.html?utm_source=onsite&amp;amp;utm_medium=boxout&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sunclub&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;in-depth coverage and exclusives&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/joinsunclub/index.html?utm_source=onsite&amp;amp;utm_medium=boxout&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sunclub&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; from Stamford Bridge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8599.  
  8600.  
  8601.  
  8602. &lt;p&gt;“It taught me about giving people time, making them feel special. He’d have crowds of people around him but was happy to hold court and have a beer with them.&lt;/p&gt;
  8603.  
  8604.  
  8605.  
  8606. &lt;p&gt;“That’s what I do now. If Hassocks supporters come up to me, I give them time. It’s nice&amp;nbsp;making people feel important, which they are.&lt;/p&gt;

  8627.  
  8628.  
  8629.  
  8630. &lt;p&gt;“I do the car park and turnstiles because we only have seven or eight volunteers.&lt;/p&gt;
  8631.  
  8632.  
  8633.  
  8634. &lt;p&gt;“Some people say I shouldn’t be parking because I miss any goals that are scored early.&lt;/p&gt;
  8635.  
  8636.  
  8637.  
  8638. &lt;p&gt;“But I like that people can see I’m doing something rather than swanning around and, secondly, it’s nice to meet and greet people by being front of house along with the other turnstile guys, who also do a great job.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8639.  
  8640.  
  8641.  
  8642. &lt;p&gt;Pat had a 22-year senior playing career that saw him score a remarkable 348 goals in 990 games — with winning promotion and playing in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/&quot;&gt;National League&lt;/a&gt; at Eastbourne the highlight.&lt;/p&gt;
  8643.  
  8644.  
  8645.  
  8646. &lt;p&gt;And he laughed and admitted: “My goalscoring ratio would’ve been better had I not played on as an old-timer!”&lt;/p&gt;
  8647.  
  8648.  
  8649.  
  8650. &lt;p&gt;He also holds the distinction of netting in every senior step of non-league, from Sussex County League to National League.&lt;/p&gt;
  8651.  
  8652.  
  8653.  
  8654. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  8656. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  8657. &lt;p&gt;At first, I said, ‘That’s crazy’. But then I thought, ‘What am I going to do now I’ve retired?’ &lt;/p&gt;
  8658. &lt;/div&gt;
  8659. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  8660. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  8662.  
  8663.  
  8664.  
  8665. &lt;p&gt;But after hanging up his boots in May last year with Hassocks — where he came through as a kid — he became chairman.&lt;/p&gt;
  8666.  
  8667.  
  8668.  
  8669. &lt;p&gt;Pat said: “The former chairman, Dave John, who has been at the club for more than 30 years, asked if I fancied doing it.&lt;/p&gt;
  8670.  
  8671.  
  8672.  
  8673. &lt;p&gt;“At first, I said, ‘That’s crazy’. But then I thought, ‘What am I going to do now I’ve retired?’ because coaching and managing isn’t for me. &lt;/p&gt;
  8674.  
  8675.  
  8676.  
  8677. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Being chairman would give me a chance to put a little print on it and improve a few things — but I didn’t expect us to win the league in my first season!”&lt;/p&gt;
  8678.  
  8679.  
  8680.  
  8681. &lt;p&gt;Hassocks are a family club and this season not a single player got paid — not even expenses.&lt;/p&gt;
  8682.  
  8683.  
  8684.  
  8685. &lt;p&gt;Next term Pat says manager James Westlake is getting a playing budget but it will be the lowest in the Isthmian League South East Division.&lt;/p&gt;
  8686.  
  8687.  
  8688.  
  8689. &lt;p&gt;Pat added: “Being chairman involves two big things. One, it’s building and maintenance and, second, matchdays are like throwing a big party and you’ve got to make everything run smoothly.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8690.  
  8691.  
  8692.  
  8693. &lt;p&gt;He is overseeing the installation of new, modern LED floodlights to sit on the exact columns his dad donated to the club in 1995 to enable the club to be promoted to the Sussex League.&lt;/p&gt;
  8694.  
  8695.  
  8696.  
  8697. &lt;p&gt;Also he is overseeing powering The Beacon&amp;nbsp;stadium with solar panels, pushing club merchandise and improving the matchday experience.&lt;/p&gt;
  8698.  
  8699.  
  8700.  
  8701. &lt;p&gt;Pat has added a merchandise sweet stand to cater for kids as Hassocks centre their focus on attracting families and youngsters to the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  8702.  
  8703.  
  8704.  
  8705. &lt;p&gt;He said: “We want to grow organically and be sustainable. We’re definitely good enough to be in the level above but whether that’ll be our ceiling or not time will tell.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8706.  
  8707.  
  8708.  
  8709. &lt;p&gt;His dad sadly never saw Chelsea go on to win all the glittering silverware of the Roman Abramovich era — which included five &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; titles and two European Cups — although his legacy at Stamford Bridge lives on through The Matthew Harding Stand, which he helped finance.&lt;/p&gt;
  8710.  
  8711.  
  8712.  
  8713. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34232397&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/775577-patrick-harding-son-former-984060083_478a9e.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Patrick Harding, chairman of Hassocks Football Club, holding a club scarf on the pitch.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34232397&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Chris Eades&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Pat has high hopes for his beloved Hassocks[/caption]
  8714.  
  8715.  
  8716.  
  8717. &lt;p&gt;Pat learned the tragic news of his dad’s death the morning after while at home in Hassocks.&lt;/p&gt;
  8718.  
  8719.  
  8720.  
  8721. &lt;p&gt;And he said: “When you have a bereavement as a kid, you probably just cope with it and it’s only when you look back you understand the enormity of it. I remember waking up and hearing about it first thing.&lt;/p&gt;
  8722.  
  8723.  
  8724.  
  8725. &lt;p&gt;“My mum told me I wouldn’t be going to school that day. There was a big media circus outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  8726.  
  8727.  
  8728.  
  8729. &lt;p&gt;“It was bizarre because it was on the news. I don’t know if it made it easier because with my dad always being in the papers or on TV it was all I’d known.&lt;/p&gt;
  8730.  
  8731.  
  8732.  
  8733. &lt;p&gt;“Like most ordinary people and growing up as a man, you hide emotions and don’t deal with them at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  8734.  
  8735.  
  8736.  
  8737. &lt;p&gt;“It catches you up sooner or later but I’ve dealt with it as I’ve become an adult.&lt;/p&gt;
  8738.  
  8739.  
  8740.  
  8741. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Following in dad&amp;#8217;s footsteps&lt;/h2&gt;
  8742.  
  8743.  
  8744.  
  8745. &lt;p&gt;“It makes you a bit stronger. You get through stuff. You cope like everyone else does — a lot of people’s dads die.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8746.  
  8747.  
  8748.  
  8749. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/2010240/matthew-harding-chelsea-fans-still-sing-vice-chairmans-name-to-this-day-20-years-after-his-fatal-helicopter-crash/&quot;&gt;Matthew Harding&lt;/a&gt; would be proud of his son today. His values have been passed on to Pat, who is much loved in Sussex&amp;nbsp;non-league football for his warm and&amp;nbsp;sincere personality.&lt;/p&gt;
  8750.  
  8751.  
  8752.  
  8753. &lt;p&gt;Pat — who has his own business working as a mobile sports massage therapist and personal trainer — added: “My dad was very personable. He made people feel good. He was generous. It’s amazing now looking back how much I picked up.&lt;/p&gt;
  8754.  
  8755.  
  8756.  
  8757. &lt;p&gt;“Dad enjoyed people’s company. It made me realise in football and business people buy from people — personality is a big thing, more than anything.&lt;/p&gt;
  8758.  
  8759.  
  8760.  
  8761. &lt;p&gt;“He was good fun. He was more eccentric and charming than me.&lt;br&gt;“Dad was a bit of a character and I’m so happy I took some of that forward.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  8788.  
  8789.  
  8790.  
  8791. &lt;p&gt;As the duo reunited for the latest episode, Pete couldn’t help but point out the shift in Sam’s energy and appearance.&lt;/p&gt;
  8792.  
  8793.  
  8794.  
  8795. &lt;p&gt;He said: “I’ve got to say, since Paul [C Brunson] was on, you’ve really come into your own.&lt;/p&gt;
  8796.  
  8797.  
  8798.  
  8799. &lt;p&gt;“It’s had a dramatic impact on you as a person.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8800.  
  8801.  
  8802.  
  8803. &lt;p&gt;Sam agreed, describing himself as being in a much better place.&lt;/p&gt;
  8804.  
  8805.  
  8806.  
  8807. &lt;p&gt;He said excitedly: “This is it, baby! We’re on lift-off! The training wheels are coming off. The stabilizers are retracting. It’s like a plane taking off.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8808.  
  8809.  
  8810.  
  8811. &lt;p&gt;Pete quipped, “I don’t know why all of your analogies are plane-based.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8812.  
  8813.  
  8814.  
  8815. &lt;p&gt;Laughing, Sam explained, “Because when Paul was in, I said my life was like a plane with no pilot. But now I’m taking off again on a plane where the pilot is me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8816.  
  8817.  
  8818.  
  8819. &lt;p&gt;Pete also noticed a clear difference in Sam’s confidence.&lt;/p&gt;
  8820.  
  8821.  
  8822.  
  8823. &lt;p&gt;“You’re glowing up. The golf is in full swing at the minute &amp;#8211; excuse the pun. We’ll ignore the fact that you’re dressed like a f***ing tree today and blending into the plant, but you do look great.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8824.  
  8825.  
  8826.  
  8827. &lt;p&gt;Acknowledging his best mate’s compliment, Sam admitted he was feeling “very happy” lately.&lt;/p&gt;

  8856.  
  8857.  
  8858.  
  8859. &lt;p&gt;A friend told &lt;a aria-label=&quot;MailOnline (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14562241/sam-thompson-grows-close-hot-handle-star-ex-zara-mcdermott-one-direction-louis-tomlinson.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;MailOnline&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Sam and Lucy were sharing direct messages over &lt;span id=&quot;c0e57707-b727-4f7a-9792-aa516b34545b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/span&gt; before they decided to meet up at a pub and then continue their night at The Rex Rooms.&lt;/p&gt;
  8860.  
  8861.  
  8862.  
  8863. &lt;p&gt;“They looked really close in the club, chatting and cuddling up together.&lt;/p&gt;
  8864.  
  8865.  
  8866.  
  8867. &lt;p&gt;“But their closeness continued after they spent the night partying together and the pair&amp;#8217;s connection has certainly put a smile back on Sam&amp;#8217;s face.&lt;/p&gt;
  8868.  
  8869.  
  8870.  
  8871. &lt;p&gt;“Sam is enjoying being single again and dipping his toe back into the &lt;span id=&quot;a2b850ae-0cb6-407b-a1d7-3bf7ec3a326c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;b5c8f784-8885-4d4b-9142-d0596b9f806b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pool&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8872.  
  8873.  
  8874.  
  8875. &lt;p&gt;Like Zara, Lucy is an aspiring singer and often shares clips of herself singing on TikTok.&lt;/p&gt;

  8884.  
  8885.  
  8886.  
  8887. &lt;p&gt;Lucy stuck to all the rules during her time in Turks and Caicos &amp;#8211; and failed to find love. &lt;/p&gt;
  8888.  
  8889.  
  8890.  
  8891. &lt;p&gt;At the start of the year Lucy revealed she was still single as she shared an upsetting clip of herself crying.&lt;/p&gt;
  8892.  
  8893.  
  8894.  
  8895. &lt;p&gt;She told fans: &amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;Well, at least we know manifesting works, I hate that it&amp;#8217;s called manifesting, like, &amp;#8216;man&amp;#8217;… it&amp;#8217;s like men are infesting my life and annoying and upsetting me. It&amp;#8217;s a man infestation&amp;#8230; I&amp;#8217;m ready for the glow up now please.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8896.  
  8897.  
  8898.  
  8899. &lt;p&gt;Sam and Zara &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33941664/zara-mcdermott-sam-thompson-split-takes-nasty-turn/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;split after five years&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/tv-news/32490402/zara-mcdermott-relationship-sam-thompson-christmas-apart/&quot;&gt;shortly after they spent Christmas apart&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8900.  
  8901.  
  8902.  
  8903. &lt;p&gt;A source close to the couple told&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14241121/sam-thompson-zara-mcdermott-split.html&quot;&gt;MailOnline&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at the time: &amp;#8220;Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. It&amp;#8217;s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  8904.  
  8905.  
  8906.  
  8907. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  8908.  
  8909.  
  8910.  
  8911. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it&amp;#8217;s just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8912.  
  8913.  
  8914.  
  8915. &lt;p&gt;Zara had been single since December, but was recently linked to a new hunk.&lt;/p&gt;
  8916.  
  8917.  
  8918.  
  8919. &lt;p&gt;One Direction star&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/louis-tomlinson/&quot;&gt;Louis Tomlinson&lt;/a&gt;, 33, whisked model Zara to a hotel in Aldeburgh,&amp;nbsp;Suffolk, earlier this month, where a fellow diner snapped them enjoying a romantic meal.&lt;/p&gt;
  8920.  
  8921.  
  8922.  
  8923. &lt;p&gt;A source added: “Louis whisked Zara away for a break in Suffolk and he absolutely charmed her.&lt;/p&gt;
  8924.  
  8925.  
  8926.  
  8927. &lt;p&gt;“It’s clear he thinks she’s drop-dead gorgeous too.&lt;/p&gt;
  8928.  
  8929.  
  8930.  
  8931. &lt;p&gt;“Louis is a proper gentleman so this trip was something he planned and put on for Zara.&lt;/p&gt;
  8932.  
  8933.  
  8934.  
  8935. &lt;p&gt;“He was really thoughtful and wanted to make it special. They share the same values and are both incredibly close with their families.&lt;/p&gt;
  8936.  
  8937.  
  8938.  
  8939. &lt;p&gt;“Louis is very protective over his sisters and Zara is the same with her younger brother Brad.&lt;/p&gt;
  8940.  
  8941.  
  8942.  
  8943. &lt;p&gt;“For now they’re taking things slowly and enjoying each other’s company to see where it takes them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8944.  
  8945.  
  8946.  
  8947. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Sun&lt;/a&gt; contacted Sam&amp;#8217;s rep for comment.&lt;/p&gt;

  8988.  
  8989.  
  8990.  
  8991. &lt;p&gt;A six-day stand-off ended live on TV when the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sas/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;SAS&lt;/a&gt; stormed the embassy, killing five of the six hostage-takers.&lt;/p&gt;
  8992.  
  8993.  
  8994.  
  8995. &lt;p&gt;PC Lock, who had strapped a hidden handgun to his body, spoke to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; negotiators after building a rapport with the separatist group — then wrestled the leader as the rescue raid began.&lt;/p&gt;
  8996.  
  8997.  
  8998.  
  8999. &lt;p&gt;The officer, who died on Sunday, played down his heroics, seeing out his career on motorway patrol.&lt;/p&gt;
  9000.  
  9001.  
  9002.  
  9003. &lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, a Police Federation spokesman said: &amp;#8220;Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.&lt;/p&gt;
  9004.  
  9005.  
  9006.  
  9007. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;PC Lock is remembered for calming his fellow hostages during the siege, acting as an intermediary between the terrorists and the security forces that ringed the building and &amp;#8211; as the embassy was stormed &amp;#8211; tackling the leading gunman.&lt;/p&gt;
  9008.  
  9009.

  9081.  
  9082.  
  9083.  
  9084. &lt;p&gt;Street artist Akse  P19, behind the work, noted that Scholesy won it by a “significant margin”.&lt;/p&gt;
  9085.  
  9086.  
  9087.  
  9088. &lt;p&gt;He added: “What’s even more remarkable is that some &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot;&gt;Man City&lt;/a&gt; fans participated in the vote, choosing Scholes, which speaks volumes about the impact he’s had.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9089.  
  9090.  
  9091.  
  9092. &lt;p&gt;Scholes, 50, won 11 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; titles with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;United&lt;/a&gt;, and played for England 66 times before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31705008/man-utd-scholes-alex-ferguson-retirement-bale/&quot;&gt;retiring in 2013&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9093.  
  9094.  
  9095.  
  9096. &lt;p&gt;Akse added: “This mural serves as a lasting tribute to his incredible career and the pride he brings to Middleton.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9097.  
  9098.  
  9099.  
  9100. &lt;p&gt;Scholes was born in Salford and moved to the Langley Estate in Middleton with his family when he was about 18 months old.&lt;/p&gt;
  9101.  
  9102.  
  9103.  
  9104. &lt;p&gt;He previously said: “As far as I&amp;#8217;m concerned I&amp;#8217;m Middleton through and through.&lt;/p&gt;
  9105.  
  9106.  
  9107.  
  9108. &lt;p&gt;“I had some great times growing up and miss the place a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
  9109.  
  9110.  
  9111.  
  9112. &lt;p&gt;“I still try to get back to see my family whenever I can.&lt;/p&gt;
  9113.  
  9114.

  9162. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PUNTERS are likely to avoid backing horses with French names in this weekend’s Grand National, analysis has shown.&lt;/p&gt;
  9163.  
  9164.  
  9165.  
  9166. &lt;p&gt;A betting company said Brits love placing bets on runners with simple monikers — which means Gallic gallopers fall at the first hurdle.&lt;/p&gt;
  9167.  
  9168.  
  9169.  
  9170. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230561&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/vanillier-keith-donoghue-day-one-984238056.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Jockey and horse jumping a hurdle.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230561&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;618&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Punters are shunning horses with French names ahead of this weekend&amp;#8217;s Grand National[/caption]
  9171.  
  9172.  
  9173.  
  9174. &lt;p&gt;Its research found &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/horseracing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;horses&lt;/a&gt; which sound like they come from across the Channel are the least popular because gamblers struggle to write foreign words on betting slips.&lt;/p&gt;
  9175.  
  9176.  
  9177.  
  9178. &lt;p&gt;Last year’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/france/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;French&lt;/a&gt; runners — Galia Des Liteaux, Farouk D’Alene and Eklat De Rire — were among the least backed of the bunch.&lt;/p&gt;
  9179.  
  9180.  
  9181.  
  9182. &lt;p&gt;And 2023 runner-up Vanillier was only the 20th most selected choice in a field of 32.&lt;/p&gt;
  9183.  
  9184.  
  9185.  
  9186. &lt;p&gt;Tim Smith, senior trading manager at gambling group Entain, said: “If a horse features a common name such as Bob’s Great, that will be one of the most popular names on the day.&lt;/p&gt;
  9187.  
  9188.  
  9189.  
  9190. &lt;p&gt;“But if a horse has a French name, especially a long one that nobody can write out on a slip, then regardless of whether that horse might have a great chance, it’s unlikely to be popular. All the trading rules go out the window.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9191.  
  9192.  
  9193.  
  9194. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drones/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Drones&lt;/a&gt; have been banned from flying over the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/grand-national/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Grand National&lt;/a&gt; Festival at Aintree, Merseyside, as their live video feed may be faster than TV — and give “in play” bets an unfair advantage.&lt;/p&gt;
  9195.  
  9196.  
  9197.  
  9198. &lt;p&gt;Last month, The Sun revealed some of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33756968/daftest-horse-names-revealed-cheltenham-festival/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;daftest horse names&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  9199.  
  9200.  
  9201.  
  9202. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Some of the horse included were&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33734116/watch-sun-racing-cheltenham-festival-preview/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Teahupoo, Live Conti and Kala Conti&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9203.  
  9204.  
  9205.  
  9206. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33711146/cheltenham-festival-accumulator-horse-bookies-fear/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;One, Wear The Fox Hat&lt;/a&gt;, was twigged by a race official on his debut outing and had to run identified as “Noname” at Nottingham,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33697295/cheltenham-festival-templegate-tips-preview/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sandown and Wolverhampton&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;back in 1995 and early 1996.&lt;/p&gt;
  9207.  
  9208.  
  9209.  
  9210. &lt;p&gt;Aussie thoroughbred Fuchu — aptly the son of All Too Hard — won at Kensington racecourse in Sydney in May 2019, while Irish gelding Noble Locks was a favourite flutter back in the Nineties.&lt;/p&gt;

  9247. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THERE are many ways to transport a family of four.&lt;/p&gt;

  9268.  
  9269.  
  9270.  
  9271. &lt;p&gt;I’m not even kidding. Look at this photo from the other day. Never going to end well, is it?&lt;/p&gt;
  9272.  
  9273.  
  9274.  
  9275. &lt;p&gt;At home in Great Britainland, we’re more sensible.&lt;/p&gt;
  9276.  
  9277.  
  9278.  
  9279. &lt;p&gt;We like to ferry the kids around in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/suvs/&quot;&gt;SUVs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9280.  
  9281.  
  9282.  
  9283. &lt;p&gt;Big, safe, high-riding SUVs.&lt;/p&gt;
  9284.  
  9285.  
  9286.  
  9287. &lt;p&gt;Preferably an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/audi/&quot;&gt;Audi&lt;/a&gt; Q5 if we can make the monthlies work. Hushed and hovercraft-smooth. Air suspension helps.&lt;/p&gt;
  9288.  
  9289.  
  9290.  
  9291. &lt;p&gt;Quattro all-wheel drive, naturally.&lt;/p&gt;
  9292.  
  9293.  
  9294.  
  9295. &lt;p&gt;Let the silky S tronic auto do its thing.&lt;/p&gt;
  9296.  
  9297.  
  9298.  
  9299. &lt;p&gt;Basically, you’re buying a baby &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bentley/&quot;&gt;Bentley&lt;/a&gt; Bentayga for not Bentley &lt;span id=&quot;c90a91dc-09d4-4d56-b9b1-94c827f23dfe&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9318. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  9320.  
  9321.  
  9322.  
  9323. &lt;p&gt;The SQ5 with its snorting 367hp 3-litre V6 petrol is top dog.&lt;/p&gt;
  9324.  
  9325.  
  9326.  
  9327. &lt;p&gt;There’s a petrol plug-in hybrid coming soon that can do 50-odd miles as an EV. Plus, a regular 204hp 2-litre petrol mild hybrid.&lt;/p&gt;
  9328.  
  9329.  
  9330.  
  9331. &lt;p&gt;But I was more interested in the new 204hp 2-litre &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/diesel/&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt; mild hybrid.&lt;/p&gt;
  9332.  
  9333.  
  9334.  
  9335. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Really good friends&lt;/h2&gt;
  9336.  
  9337.  
  9338.  
  9339. &lt;p&gt;Yes, I said “new” and “diesel” in the same sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  9340.  
  9341.  
  9342.  
  9343. &lt;p&gt;I won’t say it drinks like a camel but it nudges 40mpg.&lt;/p&gt;
  9344.  
  9345.  
  9346.  
  9347. &lt;p&gt;The 48-volt hybrid system adds a slug of performance and lowers CO2 at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
  9348.  
  9349.  
  9350.  
  9351. &lt;p&gt;We became really good friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  9352.  
  9353.  
  9354.  
  9355. &lt;p&gt;From tip-toeing through a Kasbah to fast-going in the shadows of the Atlas Mountains, the Q5 was completely unflustered — and I didn’t get a numb bum once. Not in two days of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9356.  
  9357.  
  9358.  
  9359. &lt;p&gt;Which brings me neatly to the cabin.&lt;/p&gt;
  9360.  
  9361.  
  9362.  
  9363. &lt;p&gt;Sophisticated. Comfy. And cool. Typical Audi, really.&lt;/p&gt;
  9364.  
  9365.  
  9366.  
  9367. &lt;p&gt;Almost every new car has a twin-screen set-up nowadays but very few integrate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/google/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; maps as well as an Audi.&lt;/p&gt;
  9368.  
  9369.  
  9370.  
  9371. &lt;p&gt;There’s another display screen for your passenger to be DJ.&lt;/p&gt;
  9372.  
  9373.  
  9374.  
  9375. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34223779&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/NINTCHDBPICT000984055259.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Rear view of a green Audi Q5 driving down a narrow street.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34223779&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;641&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;You’d have to be a proper Audi nerd to spot any changes on the outside[/caption]
  9376.  
  9377.  
  9378.  
  9379. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34223775&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/NINTCHDBPICT000984055243.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Person driving a car through a mountain pass.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34223775&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;641&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Almost every new car has a twin-screen set-up nowadays but very few integrate Google maps as well as an Audi[/caption]
  9380.  
  9381.  
  9382.  
  9383. &lt;p&gt;And it wants for nothing: Heated seats front and back, heated steering wheel, B&amp;amp;O sound system, Head-up Display, three-zone air con, charging ports and drink holders galore, even sliding rear seats for more legroom/boot space.&lt;/p&gt;
  9384.  
  9385.  
  9386.  
  9387. &lt;p&gt;It really does have the lot.&lt;/p&gt;
  9388.  
  9389.  
  9390.  
  9391. &lt;p&gt;You’d have to be a proper Audi nerd to spot any changes on the outside. The front grille is higher and wider. The headlights are slimmer and more technical. The four rings badge is now flat 2D. That’s about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  9392.  
  9393.  
  9394.  
  9395. &lt;p&gt;The Q5 is Audi’s best-selling car globally. Which isn’t exactly a surprise. It’s a hugely satisfying family motor.&lt;/p&gt;
  9396.

  9409. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Power&lt;/strong&gt;: 204hp&lt;/p&gt;
  9410. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;0-62mph:&lt;/strong&gt; 7.4secs&lt;/p&gt;
  9411. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Top speed&lt;/strong&gt;: 140mph&lt;/p&gt;
  9412. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Economy&lt;/strong&gt;: 47mpg&lt;/p&gt;

  9445.  
  9446.  
  9447.  
  9448. &lt;p&gt;It’s a baby &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/24371519/inside-fords-best-ever-transit-van-seven-trim-levels/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Transit&lt;/a&gt;. It’s beyond brilliant.&lt;/p&gt;
  9449.  
  9450.  
  9451.  
  9452. &lt;p&gt;Now get back to work. Time is &lt;span id=&quot;5cd50e6b-336e-4aa6-9a06-48a7c4a26b9a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9453.  
  9454.  
  9455.  
  9456. &lt;p&gt;Still with me?&lt;/p&gt;
  9457.  
  9458.  
  9459.  
  9460. &lt;p&gt;OK.&lt;/p&gt;
  9461.  
  9462.  
  9463.  
  9464. &lt;p&gt;Let’s price up the multi-talented Courier.&lt;/p&gt;
  9465.  
  9466.  
  9467.  
  9468. &lt;p&gt;Petrol from £18k. Diesel from £19k. Pure electric nudging £29k. All excluding vodka and tonic.&lt;/p&gt;
  9469.  
  9470.  
  9471.  
  9472. &lt;p&gt;Your choice.&lt;/p&gt;
  9473.  
  9474.  
  9475.  
  9476. &lt;p&gt;You do get £2,500 back on the electric version with the plug-in van grant and you should save a heap of cash in running costs and servicing over time.&lt;/p&gt;
  9477.  
  9478.  
  9479.  
  9480. &lt;p&gt;Courier is a bit longer and wider than before. So the cargo space is bigger. It can swallow two Euro pallets. Not a prayer with the old one.&lt;/p&gt;
  9481.  
  9482.  
  9483.  
  9484. &lt;p&gt;The width between the rear wheel arches is now 1.2 metres.&lt;br&gt;The load length has grown 18cm to 1.8 metres.&lt;/p&gt;
  9485.  
  9486.

  9505.  
  9506.  
  9507.  
  9508. &lt;p&gt;Make that 2.6 metres with a bulkhead hatch for pipes and skirting board.&lt;/p&gt;
  9509.  
  9510.  
  9511.  
  9512. &lt;p&gt;Payload: 700kg&lt;/p&gt;

  9519.  
  9520. &lt;p&gt;Decent.&lt;/p&gt;
  9521.  
  9522.  
  9523.  
  9524. &lt;p&gt;Dual sliding doors if you want them.&lt;/p&gt;
  9525.  
  9526.  
  9527.  
  9528. &lt;p&gt;Up front, the cabin balances car-like comfort with the practicality a van driver needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  9529.  
  9530.  
  9531.  
  9532. &lt;p&gt;That twin-screen dash carries loads of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/technology/&quot;&gt;technology&lt;/a&gt; – including a pin-sharp reversing camera to stop you hitting something you shouldn’t.&lt;/p&gt;
  9533.  
  9534.  
  9535.  
  9536. &lt;p&gt;The squircle steering wheel gives you more knee room.&lt;/p&gt;

  9540. &lt;p&gt;There’s buttons to turn off all the beeps and bongs.&lt;/p&gt;
  9541.  
  9542.  
  9543.  
  9544. &lt;p&gt;Grippy phone charging tray. Handy file rack. Lots of drink holders. Armrest. Secret storage up high for . . . secret things. Two coat hooks between the seats. All things that please.&lt;/p&gt;
  9545.  
  9546.  
  9547.  
  9548. &lt;p&gt;Also, your van is your &lt;span id=&quot;d3ccc813-47d3-4e79-8dfb-06516b7aee1e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;business&lt;/span&gt; card, remember, and Courier looks classy and cool from all angles.&lt;/p&gt;
  9549.  
  9550.  
  9551.  
  9552. &lt;p&gt;This little van shares many common parts with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ford/&quot;&gt;Ford&lt;/a&gt; Puma. So it handles like one. Which is good.&lt;/p&gt;

  9560. &lt;p&gt;The 1.5-litre diesel is best for economy, 54mpg. Six-speed manual only. The 1-litre petrol has the option of a seven-speed auto.&lt;/p&gt;
  9561.  
  9562.  
  9563.  
  9564. &lt;p&gt;The electric version has a 43kWh battery in the floor. The equivalent of 12,000 AA batteries.&lt;/p&gt;
  9565.  
  9566.  
  9567.  
  9568. &lt;p&gt;It’s the nippiest with 136hp and should clear 180 miles on a charge.&lt;br&gt;That won’t suit everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  9569.  
  9570.  
  9571.  
  9572. &lt;p&gt;But plumbers, painters, sparkies, dog walkers, even DPD couriers, ask yourself this: How many miles do you do a day?&lt;/p&gt;
  9573.  
  9574.  
  9575.  
  9576. &lt;p&gt;Not even half that, I’d imagine.&lt;/p&gt;
  9577.

  9631.  
  9632.  
  9633.  
  9634. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Hooters well past its breast-before date&lt;/h2&gt;
  9635.  
  9636.  
  9637.  
  9638. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34220983&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/a4arrg-troy-michigan-server-hands-912719536.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A Hooters waitress serves a customer a plate of food.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34220983&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Hooters of America has filed for bankruptcy in the US, amid mounting debts[/caption]
  9639.  
  9640.  
  9641.  
  9642. &lt;p&gt;THE most surprising thing about the demise of cringey diner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hooters/&quot;&gt;Hooters&lt;/a&gt; is that it was still going after all these years.&lt;/p&gt;
  9643.  
  9644.  
  9645.  
  9646. &lt;p&gt;The global norks ’n’ forks eaterie has gone, ahem, bust, after customers tired of its dated pitch of greasy stodge served by top-heavy waitresses.&lt;/p&gt;
  9647.  
  9648.  
  9649.  
  9650. &lt;p&gt;I can see why. I went to the one in Atlanta many years back out of curiosity. Just how tacky could it be, I wondered?&lt;/p&gt;
  9651.  
  9652.  
  9653.  
  9654. &lt;p&gt;Well, the answer was very. The ageing and almost exclusively male clientele made me wonder if there was some sort of special OAP deal on that night (there wasn’t).&lt;/p&gt;
  9655.  
  9656.  
  9657.  
  9658. &lt;p&gt;But the most depressing thing about it was the food.&lt;/p&gt;
  9659.  
  9660.  
  9661.  
  9662. &lt;p&gt;Deep-fried globules of unrecognisable “meat” soaked in sticky sauce was pretty much the order of the day.&lt;/p&gt;
  9663.  
  9664.  
  9665.  
  9666. &lt;p&gt;A beige banquet no amount of jiggling jugs could improve.&lt;/p&gt;
  9667.  
  9668.  
  9669.  
  9670. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  9671. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  9672. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;GLOVES OFF ON RADIO 4&lt;/h3&gt;
  9673. &lt;/div&gt;
  9674. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  9677. &lt;div&gt;
  9678. &lt;p&gt;RADIO 4’s Today programme is hardly Towie but the bitchiness levels are on a par, we’re now told.&lt;/p&gt;
  9679. &lt;p&gt;Former Woman’s Hour presenter Emma Barnett is said to find her co-presenter Nick Robinson “overbearing” and allegedly complained about him not long after joining the show last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  9680. &lt;p&gt;I’m sure she is right but it takes one to know one.&lt;/p&gt;
  9681. &lt;p&gt;I listen to the show every day and often find Barnett’s interviewing style overbearing, especially when chatting to Tories or anyone else she doesn’t like.&lt;/p&gt;
  9682. &lt;p&gt;She frequently comes across as haughty and patronising.&lt;/p&gt;
  9683. &lt;p&gt;What is it about Today that seems to attract so many conceited sods?&lt;/p&gt;
  9684. &lt;p&gt;They should give more work to Jonny Dymond, a genial occasional host and the only one I wouldn’t mind having a pint with.&lt;/p&gt;
  9685. &lt;/div&gt;
  9686. &lt;/div&gt;
  9687. &lt;/div&gt;
  9689.  
  9690.  
  9691.  
  9692. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Good luck, pet&lt;/h2&gt;
  9693.  
  9694.  
  9695.  
  9696. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34220309&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/www-instagram-com-p-dbhjb0zsakx-984018341_f7aec1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Woman kneeling with a greyhound wearing racing bib number 4.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34220309&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instgaram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Katie Price is facing fresh fury from animal rights campaigners after investing in a racing greyhound called Barbie Bullet[/caption]
  9697.  
  9698.  
  9699.  
  9700. &lt;p&gt;OH God, put the vet on standby, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-price/&quot;&gt;Katie Price&lt;/a&gt; has got another dog.&lt;/p&gt;
  9701.  
  9702.  
  9703.  
  9704. &lt;p&gt;Must be some space left in her “pet cemetery”, where eight of her former animal friends now lie.&lt;/p&gt;
  9705.  
  9706.  
  9707.  
  9708. &lt;p&gt;PETA’s Enemy Number One has plumped for a greyhound this time, poor mutt.&lt;/p&gt;
  9709.  
  9710.  
  9711.  
  9712. &lt;p&gt;And looking at the picture of careless Katie and her racer confirmed the old saying that &lt;span id=&quot;3eb9cf83-171e-4af0-a3f1-cc0c98e544fe&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dogs&lt;/span&gt; really do look like their owners.&lt;/p&gt;
  9713.  
  9714.  
  9715.  
  9716. &lt;p&gt;Although if the worryingly emaciated Price gets any skinnier, she’ll look more like the pup’s lead.&lt;/p&gt;
  9717.  
  9718.  
  9719.  
  9720. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  9721. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  9722. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Deja chew&lt;/h3&gt;
  9723. &lt;/div&gt;
  9724. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  9727. &lt;div&gt;
  9728. &lt;p&gt;l FOUND myself on the end of a bar of “viral sensation” Dubai chocolate this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  9729. &lt;p&gt;These £10-a-pop treats are the latest fad for those weak souls susceptible to food fads (of which I am one!).&lt;/p&gt;
  9730. &lt;p&gt;A few bites in, I felt a sense of, er, deja chew.&lt;/p&gt;
  9731. &lt;p&gt;Then it hit me – Dubai chocolate tastes exactly like a Tunnock’s caramel wafer.&lt;/p&gt;
  9732. &lt;p&gt;Which may seem a lot less glamorous but at around 30p a bar is certainly the more pocket-friendly option.&lt;/p&gt;
  9733. &lt;/div&gt;
  9734. &lt;/div&gt;

  9752.  
  9753.  
  9754.  
  9755. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;LIFE’S A MISERY WITH BOOZY GUY&lt;/h2&gt;
  9756.  
  9757.  
  9758.  
  9759. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DEIDRE&lt;/strong&gt;: LIVING with my alcoholic partner is making me feel so lonely that I think I’d be better off alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  9760.  
  9761.  
  9762.  
  9763. &lt;p&gt;He won’t talk to me and we never go out together. All he’s interested in is booze and his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/video-games/&quot;&gt;video games&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9764.  
  9765.  
  9766.  
  9767. &lt;p&gt;We’ve been together for 20 years and are both in our 40s, with no kids.&lt;/p&gt;
  9768.  
  9769.  
  9770.  
  9771. &lt;p&gt;He’s what you’d call a functioning alcoholic. He still manages to hold down a job, but he drinks every night and can’t cope without it. It’s making me so unhappy.&lt;/p&gt;
  9772.  
  9773.  
  9774.  
  9775. &lt;p&gt;I pay for everything as he never has any &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;. We no longer have a social life because he’s alienated all our friends. My family can’t stand him and he was so rude to them that they barely speak to me now, either. The result is I have nobody to talk to about how I feel.&lt;/p&gt;
  9776.  
  9777.  
  9778.  
  9779. &lt;p&gt;I know I should have left him years ago, but I hoped he would change, or at least cut down.&lt;/p&gt;
  9780.  
  9781.  
  9782.  
  9783. &lt;p&gt;Instead, he’s got worse. I worry about his &lt;span id=&quot;72dd0619-05f6-44a8-90c6-17743d8444ba&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt;, too. He doesn’t admit he has a problem. He seems to think it’s normal to drink several bottles of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wine/&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt; every evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  9784.  
  9785.  
  9786.  
  9787. &lt;p&gt;I think it’s time for me to leave him to pickle himself, if that’s what he wants to do. But the thought of starting again is scary.&lt;/p&gt;
  9788.  
  9789.  
  9790.  
  9791. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; There’s nothing more lonely than feeling alone in a relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  9792.  
  9793.  
  9794.  
  9795. &lt;p&gt;But sadly, you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.&lt;/p&gt;
  9796.  
  9797.  
  9798.  
  9799. &lt;p&gt;Perhaps if you tell your partner just how unhappy you are, and explain that you are at the point of leaving, he may finally acknowledge his problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  9800.  
  9801.  
  9802.  
  9803. &lt;p&gt;My support pack, Dealing With A Problem Drinker, could be useful.&lt;/p&gt;
  9804.  
  9805.  
  9806.  
  9807. &lt;p&gt;However, if he won’t accept help, then it might be wise to put yourself first and find a way out.&lt;/p&gt;
  9808.  
  9809.  
  9810.  
  9811. &lt;p&gt;Do reach out to your family and old friends, who will probably be happy to hear from you.&lt;/p&gt;
  9812.  
  9813.  
  9814.  
  9815. &lt;p&gt;Think about making new friends, too. Read my support pack, Widening Your Social Scene.&lt;/p&gt;
  9816.  
  9817.  
  9818.  
  9819. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  9820. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  9821. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;DO I TELL EX I&amp;#039;D LOVE TO TRY AGAIN?&lt;/h3&gt;
  9822. &lt;/div&gt;
  9823. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  9826. &lt;div&gt;
  9827. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DEIDRE:&lt;/strong&gt; I WANT to ask my ex-girlfriend out again, but I’m worried she only wants to be friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  9828. &lt;p&gt;She broke up with me 18 months ago, saying she wasn’t in the right headspace to date. Now we’re back in touch and I can’t tell if she’s keen.&lt;/p&gt;
  9829. &lt;p&gt;I’m 25 and she’s 23. We dated for six months and I was starting to fall in love with her when she dumped me.&lt;/p&gt;
  9830. &lt;p&gt;She said it was her, not me. Her mum was ill, she had exams and she felt she couldn’t commit.&lt;/p&gt;
  9831. &lt;p&gt;Lately, we’ve bumped into each other several times as we have mutual friends. She’s always really friendly and smiley, so I’m wondering if I should bite the bullet and say I’d love to start seeing her again.&lt;/p&gt;
  9832. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Her reasons for ending the relationship sound genuine – in which case, things might have changed.&lt;/p&gt;
  9833. &lt;p&gt;But she may have also been letting you down gently.&lt;/p&gt;
  9834. &lt;p&gt;If you’re worried about being rejected, perhaps sound out one of those mutual friends first to learn whether she’s single, or interested.&lt;/p&gt;
  9835. &lt;p&gt;Alternatively, you could message her, or casually ask if she fancies a coffee next time you see her.&lt;/p&gt;
  9836. &lt;p&gt;You should be able to gauge from her reaction where you stand.&lt;/p&gt;
  9837. &lt;/div&gt;
  9838. &lt;/div&gt;
  9839. &lt;/div&gt;
  9841.  
  9842.  
  9843.  
  9844. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;SICK BUT BULLIED AT WORK&lt;/h2&gt;
  9845.  
  9846.  
  9847.  
  9848. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DEIDRE&lt;/strong&gt;: SINCE I was diagnosed with cancer, I’ve been bullied and harassed by my colleagues.&lt;/p&gt;
  9849.  
  9850.  
  9851.  
  9852. &lt;p&gt;Now I’m worrying about losing my job, as well as about losing my &lt;span id=&quot;159ee375-c722-4bf5-b67c-f2c7e9552613&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9853.  
  9854.  
  9855.  
  9856. &lt;p&gt;I’m a man of 58 and have been working for a local authority for 20 years in the accounts department.&lt;/p&gt;
  9857.  
  9858.  
  9859.  
  9860. &lt;p&gt;Being diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer was devastating, but the lack of support I’m getting at work is almost worse.&lt;/p&gt;
  9861.  
  9862.  
  9863.  
  9864. &lt;p&gt;When I go for treatment, my colleagues act like I’m ducking out of work and moan about having to fill in for me.&lt;/p&gt;
  9865.  
  9866.  
  9867.  
  9868. &lt;p&gt;One even spread rumours that I was lying about having cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  9869.  
  9870.  
  9871.  
  9872. &lt;p&gt;My manager takes their side and has shown me no empathy or kindness, instead making me feel like I’m a shirker and a burden.&lt;/p&gt;
  9873.  
  9874.  
  9875.  
  9876. &lt;p&gt;I feel so miserable and want to quit, but I can’t afford to walk away from my job.&lt;/p&gt;
  9877.  
  9878.  
  9879.  
  9880. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Being treated this way is unacceptable. Please document everything and go to your HR department and to your union.&lt;/p&gt;
  9881.  
  9882.  
  9883.  
  9884. &lt;p&gt;You can get free, confidential advice from workplace arbitration service Acas (&lt;a href=&quot;http://acas.org.uk&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;acas.org.uk&lt;/a&gt;, 0300 123 1100).&lt;/p&gt;
  9885.  
  9886.  
  9887.  
  9888. &lt;p&gt;It’s also important you get emotional support for your treatment. Try Macmillan (&lt;a href=&quot;http://macmillan.org.uk&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;macmillan.org.uk&lt;/a&gt;, 0808 808 0000).&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  9903. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MARRIED At First Sight&amp;#8217;s Nathan Campbell has made a huge gesture to Love Island star Abi Moores.&lt;/p&gt;
  9904.  
  9905.  
  9906.  
  9907. &lt;p&gt;The pair have been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dating/&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/a&gt; for the past few weeks and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33827183/mafs-nathan-olive-branch-ex-lacey-abi-moores-romance/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nathan&lt;/a&gt; has now gone all out to impress the blonde beauty with a romantic &amp;#8216;proposal&amp;#8217; and a huge diamond ring.&lt;/p&gt;

  9920.  
  9921.  
  9922.  
  9923. &lt;p&gt;Putting on a lavish display for Abi&amp;#8217;s 27th birthday, Nathan splashed out on the stunning ring in order to ask her the all-important question.&lt;/p&gt;
  9924.  
  9925.  
  9926.  
  9927. &lt;p&gt;The reality TV hunk officially asked &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33070163/love-island-star-in-talks-abi-moores/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Abi&lt;/a&gt; to be his girlfriend with a huge balloon display.&lt;/p&gt;
  9928.  
  9929.  
  9930.  
  9931. &lt;p&gt;Nathan decked out the hotel room with &lt;span id=&quot;2566cd95-5951-4e9b-ba99-8716780db328&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;red rose&lt;/span&gt; petals as well as a stream of matching red balloons. &lt;/p&gt;
  9932.  
  9933.  
  9934.  
  9935. &lt;p&gt;A source told The Sun: &amp;#8220;Nathan did not hold back when it came to putting on a lavish display for Abi.&lt;/p&gt;
  9936.  
  9937.  
  9938.  
  9939. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He really likes her and wanted to make sure her birthday was extra special.&lt;/p&gt;
  9940.  
  9941.  
  9942.  
  9943. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His gesture, and the huge diamond ring, has solidified just exactly how he feels about Abi.&lt;/p&gt;
  9944.  
  9945.  
  9946.  
  9947. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Abi couldn&amp;#8217;t be happier and immediately said yes &amp;#8211; she feels like she&amp;#8217;s finally found a keeper in Nathan.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9948.  
  9949.  
  9950.  
  9951. &lt;p&gt;The couple first sparked dating rumours earlier this year but it was only on Abi&amp;#8217;s special day that they made their relationship official.&lt;/p&gt;
  9952.  
  9953.  
  9954.  
  9955. &lt;p&gt;Last month, Abi told The Sun &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33807981/love-island-abi-moores-nathan-romance-lacey-fame/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;how they were taking things slow&lt;/a&gt; and also shared how they met each other in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;
  9956.  
  9957.  
  9958.  
  9959. &lt;p&gt;Abi said: &amp;#8220;We wanted to keep it really private to start with. When you date and when you tell someone about it and it just goes terrible. I&amp;#8217;ve been single for five years.&lt;/p&gt;

  9983. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We met and we got on really well and wanted to just make sure it was proper.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9984.  
  9985.  
  9986.  
  9987. &lt;p&gt;They then revealed that former Love Islander and mutual friend Reuben Collins played &amp;#8220;cupid&amp;#8221; and set them up on a &lt;span id=&quot;4027726b-6a47-4c37-aa00-22f07062796c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;blind date&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9988.  
  9989.  
  9990.  
  9991. &lt;p&gt;Abi explained: &amp;#8220;Reuben Collins introduced us. I&amp;#8217;m really good friends with Reuben, once he came off the show we became friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  9992.  
  9993.  
  9994.  
  9995. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He always said to me that he felt really sorry for me and my dating life and said &amp;#8216;why can&amp;#8217;t we find you a man?&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9996.  
  9997.  
  9998.  
  9999. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So he said to me to come down to Sellebrity Soccer because it was in my local area.&lt;/p&gt;
  10000.  
  10001.  
  10002.  
  10003. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I turn up and Reuben said he was going in the &lt;span id=&quot;7eefdb64-39a7-4f2b-893a-c661aaa443c9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;changing rooms&lt;/span&gt; and he&amp;#8217;d be right back and then he sent Nathan out, and he said &amp;#8216;Reuben, told me to come and speak to you because you fancy me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10004.  
  10005.

  10031. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TWO-TIME Masters champion Bernhard Langer claims he’s finding it “difficult to walk” after sharing a worrying health update.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10032.  
  10033.  
  10034.  
  10035. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/golf/13194185/bernhard-langer-larry-mize-masters-2020-record/&quot;&gt;The 67-year-old German&lt;/a&gt; secured victory at Augusta in 1985 and 1993.&lt;/p&gt;
  10036.  
  10037.  
  10038.  
  10039. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231239&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/bernhard-langer-germany-looks-playing-984270494.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Bernhard Langer at the PNC Championship.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231239&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Bernhard Langer admits he&amp;#8217;s struggling to walk in a startling health update[/caption]
  10040.  
  10041.  
  10042.  
  10043. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231305&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/bernhard-langer-germany-presented-green-953727_a9264d.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Bernhard Langer of Germany being presented with the green jacket at the Masters Tournament.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231305&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;642&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty Images - Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The German won the Masters in 1985 and again in 1993[/caption]
  10044.  
  10045.  
  10046.  
  10047. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/golf/15680071/langer-drive-350-yards-senior-open/&quot;&gt;Langer&lt;/a&gt; is preparing for his final &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-masters/&quot;&gt;Masters&lt;/a&gt; next week after continuing to shine on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pga-tour/&quot;&gt;PGA Tour.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10048.  
  10049.  
  10050.  
  10051. &lt;p&gt;However, the fan favourite has now revealed he is struggling to move around the green.&lt;/p&gt;
  10052.  
  10053.  
  10054.  
  10055. &lt;p&gt;Langer suffered a torn Achilles tendon last year that scuppered his chances of playing at the 2024 Masters.&lt;/p&gt;
  10056.  
  10057.  
  10058.  
  10059. &lt;p&gt;It’s taken him many months to recover from the setback.&lt;/p&gt;
  10060.  
  10061.  
  10062.  
  10063. &lt;p&gt;But Langer admits he is still struggling to walk and will find it hard getting round Augusta’s 18 holes.&lt;/p&gt;
  10064.  
  10065.  
  10066.  
  10067. &lt;p&gt;He revealed: “To get back to where I was, and I always thought I would come back, it was just a matter of when and how.&lt;/p&gt;
  10068.  
  10069.  
  10070.  
  10071. &lt;p&gt;“So it was a long and tough process. It still is. I’m not 100 per cent and maybe I never will be, but walking is still difficult.&lt;/p&gt;
  10072.

  10149. &lt;p&gt;You can find out by checking your ticket against tonight&amp;#8217;s numbers below. Good luck!&lt;/p&gt;
  10150.  
  10151.  
  10152.

  10166.  
  10167.  
  10168.

  10180. &lt;div&gt;
  10181. &lt;ol&gt;
  10182. &lt;li&gt;£1.308 billion (Powerball) on January 13 2016 in the US, for which three winning tickets were sold, remains history’s biggest lottery prize&lt;/li&gt;
  10183. &lt;li&gt;£1.267 billion (Mega Million) a winner from South Carolina took their time to come forward to claim their prize in March 2019 not long before the April deadline&lt;/li&gt;
  10184. &lt;li&gt;£633.76 million (Powerball draw) from a winner from Wisconsin&lt;/li&gt;
  10185. &lt;li&gt;£625.76 million (Powerball)&amp;nbsp; Mavis L. Wanczyk of Chicopee, Massachusetts claimed the jackpot in August 2017&lt;/li&gt;
  10186. &lt;li&gt;£575.53 million (Powerball)&amp;nbsp; A lucky pair of winners scooped the jackpot in Iowa and New York in October 2018&lt;/li&gt;
  10187. &lt;/ol&gt;
  10188. &lt;/div&gt;
  10189. &lt;/div&gt;
  10190. &lt;/div&gt;
  10192.  
  10193.  
  10194.  
  10195. &lt;p&gt;Sue Davies, 64, bought a lottery ticket to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12528876/asthmatic-gran-wins-500000-thuderball-lottery/&quot;&gt;celebrate ending five months of shielding during the pandemic — and won £500,000.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10196.  
  10197.  
  10198.  
  10199. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/scottish-news/6277887/national-lottery-scratchcard-win-renfrewshire/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Sandra Devine, 36, accidentally won £300k &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; she intended to buy her usual £100 National Lottery Scratchcard, but came home with a much bigger prize.&lt;/p&gt;
  10200.  
  10201.  
  10202.  
  10203. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/pollingwidgets/v3/widget.js?question_id=96063&amp;#038;game=polling&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  10204.  
  10205.  
  10206.  
  10207. &lt;p&gt;The biggest&amp;nbsp;jackpot ever to be up for grabs was £66million in January last year, which was won by two lucky ticket holders.&lt;/p&gt;
  10208.  
  10209.  
  10210.  
  10211. &lt;p&gt;Another winner, Karl managed to bag £11million aged just 23 in 1996.&lt;/p&gt;
  10212.  
  10213.  
  10214.  
  10215. &lt;p&gt;The odds of winning the lottery are estimated to be about one in 14million &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp;BUT&amp;nbsp;you&amp;#8217;ve got to be in it to win it. &lt;/p&gt;

  10238. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;DAVID Walliams has taken a brutal swipe at ex Britain’s Got Talent co-star Amanda Holden’s glam selfie with her husband Chris. &lt;/p&gt;
  10239.  
  10240.  
  10241.  
  10242. &lt;p&gt;Chris and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/amanda-holden/&quot;&gt;Amanda&lt;/a&gt; first met in 2003 in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/los-angeles/&quot;&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt;, but did not start &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dating/&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/a&gt; until 2004. Chris is Amanda&amp;#8217;s second husband, after she was previously married to actor and presenter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/les-dennis/&quot;&gt;Les Dennis&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10243.  
  10244.  
  10245.  
  10246. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231150&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/amanda-holden-david-walliams-instagram-409540126.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Amanda Holden and David Walliams posing together.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231150&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Social Media - Refer to Source&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;David Walliams has taken a brutal swipe at ex Britain’s Got Talent co-star Amanda Holden’s glam selfie with her husband Chris[/caption]
  10247.  
  10248.  
  10249.  
  10250. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231149&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/husband-chris-hughs-r-984281388.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;Amanda Holden and Chris Hughes.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231149&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Amanda uploaded this snap with husband Chris[/caption]
  10251.  
  10252.  
  10253.  
  10254. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231153&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/taken-without-permission-amanda-holden-657507392.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;Amanda Holden and Chris Hughes.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231153&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;@noholdenback/Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The couple first met in 2003[/caption]
  10255.  
  10256.  
  10257.  
  10258. &lt;p&gt;And the couple shared a loved-up &lt;span id=&quot;e8b2100e-128c-4af6-8761-f3295a2a0c43&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;snap&lt;/span&gt; this week as they headed out for a date night.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10259.  
  10260.  
  10261.  
  10262. &lt;p&gt;Amanda, 54, shared it on her grid and could be seen flashing a smile while look as glam as ever.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10263.  
  10264.  
  10265.  
  10266. &lt;p&gt;The mum-of-two cosied up to her other half, as he took the selfie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10267.  
  10268.  
  10269.  
  10270. &lt;p&gt;Chris opted for a blue jumper for the evening out, and his TV star wife wrote: “Date night &lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2665.png&quot; alt=&quot;♥&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt;( except the girls are with us &lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f602.png&quot; alt=&quot;😂&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2665.png&quot; alt=&quot;♥&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt;) so… Date night with the girls &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/family/?hl=en&quot;&gt;#family&lt;/a&gt;”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10271.  
  10272.  
  10273.  
  10274. &lt;p&gt;But despite fans loving the rare snap of them together, it was David Walliams’ comment that garnered the most attention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10275.  
  10276.  
  10277.  
  10278. &lt;p&gt;He wrote in the comments: “Mother and son. Lovely,” and it attracted hundreds of likes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10279.  
  10280.  
  10281.  
  10282. &lt;p&gt;Luckily, Amanda saw the funny side as she responded to her former co-star’s comment with a laughing emoji.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10283.  
  10284.  
  10285.  
  10286. &lt;p&gt;Last year, Amanda’s hubby joked he’d “finally made it onto the grid #reluctantly,” as they appeared in a holiday photo together.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10287.  
  10288.  
  10289.  
  10290. &lt;p&gt;And again, former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/britains-got-talent/&quot;&gt;Britain&amp;#8217;s Got Talent&lt;/a&gt; judge &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-walliams/&quot;&gt;David&lt;/a&gt; teased the pair as he joked: &amp;#8220;Mother and son. Lovely.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10314. &lt;p&gt;Amanda and Chris share two children, Alexa (known as Lexi) and Hollie, and regularly spend time together as a family of four.&lt;/p&gt;
  10315.  
  10316.  
  10317.  
  10318. &lt;p&gt;The latest snap comes after Amanda&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34191888/amanda-holden-54-bikini-dubai-bgt/&quot;&gt; showed off her sensational figure in a striking silver bikini on holiday in Dubai.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10319.  
  10320.  
  10321.  
  10322. &lt;p&gt;The stylish judge pulled on the metallic swim top with cut-out detail across the cleavage and matching bottoms positioned high on her hip.&lt;/p&gt;
  10323.  
  10324.  
  10325.  
  10326. &lt;p&gt;And the 54-year-old accessorised with gold bracelets, hoop earrings and huge aviator sunglasses with white rims and yellow lenses.&lt;/p&gt;
  10327.  
  10328.  
  10329.  
  10330. &lt;p&gt;She left her blonde &lt;span id=&quot;e296a910-aaef-4672-8500-0eb90ad1f189&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/span&gt;, wet from the sea, in natural waves flowing over her back.&lt;/p&gt;
  10331.  
  10332.  
  10333.  
  10334. &lt;p&gt;She then waded into the waters for a snap showing the waves lapping at her legs.&lt;/p&gt;
  10335.  
  10336.  
  10337.  
  10338. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; favourite &amp;#8211; who is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33451237/amanda-holden-racy-outfits-britains-got-talent-2025-ofcom/&quot;&gt;no stranger to a sexy outfit&lt;/a&gt; and sultry social media snap &amp;#8211; then brushed her hands through her hair as she cut another striking pose.&lt;/p&gt;
  10339.  
  10340.  
  10341.  
  10342. &lt;p&gt;Amanda then headed out of the water and stretched out on the sands before adding a slick of &lt;span id=&quot;9447c217-7681-4274-a5b3-608b793ff4d5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/span&gt; lip gloss as she flashed a pout.&lt;/p&gt;
  10343.  
  10344.  
  10345.  
  10346. &lt;p&gt;Heading out of &lt;span id=&quot;1b4a4c7a-1483-4920-8e8e-6c72da78c130&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Dubai&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8216;s beating rays, the mum of two lay back on a sun lounger for some down time.&lt;/p&gt;
  10347.  
  10348.  
  10349.  
  10350. &lt;p&gt;She posted the images to her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; grid and shared with fans her snazzy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/swimwear/&quot;&gt;swimwear&lt;/a&gt; was from Melissa Odabash.&lt;/p&gt;
  10351.  
  10352.  
  10353.  
  10354. &lt;p&gt;One fan was quick to comment underneath: &amp;#8220;It’s not fair! Why don’t you have cellulite and the odd stretch mark?!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10377. &lt;p&gt;One person praised Ellie and said: &amp;#8221;I’m so glad our generation is realising we don’t need make up constantly!! Setting examples for the new little ladies of this world.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10378.  
  10379.  
  10380.  
  10381. &lt;p&gt;Another chimed in: &amp;#8221;Sooo much more beautiful without it!! Literally stunning!!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10382.  
  10383.  
  10384.  
  10385. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Oh my god! Your natural beauty is another level, girl you’re absolutely stunning,&amp;#8221; a third was gobsmacked.&lt;/p&gt;
  10386.  
  10387.

  10389. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Wow. You are so naturally beautiful. You don’t want to cover that up,&amp;#8221; someone else commented.&lt;/p&gt;

  10406. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GENDER reveals are constantly getting bigger and bolder &amp;#8211; and one recent one has left people baffled.&lt;/p&gt;
  10407.  
  10408.  
  10409.  
  10410. &lt;p&gt;Instead of just doing a pink or blue reveal, one pregnant woman decided to do an ultrasound on stage in front of her guests.&lt;/p&gt;
  10411.  
  10412.  
  10413.  
  10414. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34220783&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 586px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2dedc893-e7ae-4ceb-bfb0-5d9861871679.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;Gender reveal party with large ultrasound image.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34220783&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Ark Media&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A couple left people baffled by doing an ultrasound live at their gender reveal[/caption]
  10415.  
  10416.  
  10417.  
  10418. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34220805&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 586px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/869de468-3cd9-4213-9932-76548d0536d0.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;Over-the-top gender reveal with fireworks and ultrasound.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34220805&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;612&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Ark Media&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The couple also had pink fireworks to celebrate having a girl[/caption]
  10419.  
  10420.  
  10421.  
  10422. &lt;p&gt;As she lay on a table, someone who appeared to be a medical professional did a live scan on her to show guests the baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  10423.  
  10424.  
  10425.  
  10426. &lt;p&gt;The groom was seen standing nearby on stage narrating the intimate moment over a microphone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10427.  
  10428.  
  10429.  
  10430. &lt;p&gt;Then it was time for the big reveal, with the couple, dressed in white, standing on a stage in front of a large countdown.&lt;/p&gt;
  10431.  
  10432.  
  10433.  
  10434. &lt;p&gt;When the numbers went down to zero, a giant firework display took off with pink smoke, indicating they were having a girl.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10435.  
  10436.  
  10437.  
  10438. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, giant sparklers erupted around the stage for the grand reveal.&lt;/p&gt;
  10439.  
  10440.  
  10441.  
  10442. &lt;p&gt;The couple seemed delighted with the fact they were having a baby daughter and hugged as they were enveloped by the pink smoke.&lt;/p&gt;
  10443.  
  10444.  
  10445.  
  10446. &lt;p&gt;People have been left baffled by the “over-the-top” gender reveal, after the footage was shared online.&lt;/p&gt;
  10447.  
  10448.  
  10449.  
  10450. &lt;p&gt;One said: “This is really ridiculous.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10451.  
  10452.  
  10453.  
  10454. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “Hate things like this.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10455.  
  10456.  
  10457.  
  10458. &lt;p&gt;And a third commented: “This is too much.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10459.  
  10460.

  10481.  
  10482. &lt;p&gt;Gender reveal parties are a relatively new trend, and started to gain popularity in the late 2000s, particularly with the development of social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  10483.  
  10484.  
  10485.  
  10486. &lt;p&gt;While some people like to cut in a cake that reveals the colour of their baby’s gender, others use balloons or confetti cannons.&lt;/p&gt;
  10487.  
  10488.  
  10489.  
  10490. &lt;p&gt;But they aren’t without controversy.&lt;/p&gt;
  10491.  
  10492.  
  10493.  
  10494. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34220809&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 586px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17d1667e-e57c-4437-8247-15ee8fd13bcb.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;Couple at extravagant gender reveal with fireworks.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34220809&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;701&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Ark Media&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Giant sparklers went off as the countdown began[/caption]
  10495.  
  10496.  
  10497.  
  10498. &lt;p&gt;A couple whose gender reveal stunt &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15648091/couple-gender-reveal-wildfire-charged-manslaughter/&quot;&gt;sparked El Dorado wildfire that killed a firefighter &lt;/a&gt;were charged over his death.&lt;/p&gt;
  10499.  
  10500.  
  10501.  
  10502. &lt;p&gt;They used a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device, which quickly ignited dry grass after they set it off in a field.&lt;/p&gt;
  10503.  
  10504.  
  10505.  
  10506. &lt;p&gt;The couple tried to put the flames out with water bottles, but were unable to and called 911, authorities said.&lt;/p&gt;
  10507.  
  10508.  
  10509.  
  10510. &lt;p&gt;Another gender reveal party was sent into chaos as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/32985631/pregnant-couple-evacuate-dry-ice-reveal-disaster/&quot;&gt;pink “dry ice” forced everyone to evacuate the home.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  10527. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MILLIONS of Nationwide customers are set to get a free £50 payment within a matter of days.&lt;/p&gt;
  10528.  
  10529.  
  10530.  
  10531. &lt;p&gt;The building society has announced the payment as a gesture of gratitude to its members for their contribution to the successful &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30816714/virgin-money-important-update-millions-customers-nationwide-takeover/&quot;&gt;acquisition of Virgin Money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10532.  
  10533.  
  10534.  
  10535. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231126&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image_46b416.jpeg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Nationwide bank branch with ATM.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231126&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;617&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The £50 payment will start being issued from April 9, 2025[/caption]
  10536.  
  10537.  
  10538.  
  10539. &lt;p&gt;Each eligible member will receive a one-off payment of £50, dubbed the &amp;#8220;Big&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nationwide/&quot;&gt;Nationwide&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thank You&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10540.  
  10541.  
  10542.  
  10543. &lt;p&gt;This payment is separate from Nationwide&amp;#8217;s annual &amp;#8220;Fairer Share Payment&amp;#8221;, which last year rewarded members with £100 in recognition of the society&amp;#8217;s financial performance.&lt;/p&gt;
  10544.  
  10545.  
  10546.  
  10547. &lt;p&gt;However, the building society has indicated today that it hopes to distribute the &amp;#8220;Fairer Share Payment&amp;#8221; once again later this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10548.  
  10549.  
  10550.  
  10551. &lt;p&gt;To qualify for the £50 payment, members must have held a savings account, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uk-banking/&quot;&gt;current account&lt;/a&gt;, or mortgage as of September 30, 2024, and still have the account open at the time the payment is made.&lt;/p&gt;
  10552.  
  10553.  
  10554.  
  10555. &lt;p&gt;Additionally, members must have either completed at least one transaction on their current or savings account or maintained a minimum balance of £100 across their accounts or mortgage within the 12 months preceding September 30, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  10556.  
  10557.  
  10558.  
  10559. &lt;p&gt;Nationwide has said that the payment will be issued on April 9 to approximately 12million eligible members, with the building society beginning to contact qualifying customers from today.&lt;/p&gt;
  10560.  
  10561.  
  10562.  
  10563. &lt;p&gt;Members can also check if they qualify for the payment by visiting nationwide.co.uk/about-us/the-big-nationwide-thank-you/check.&lt;/p&gt;
  10564.  
  10565.  
  10566.  
  10567. &lt;p&gt;Debbie Crosbie, chief executive of Nationwide, said: &amp;#8220;Nationwide became even stronger when it bought Virgin &lt;span id=&quot;a25bafaf-06e2-4b49-bee8-8feee85c8391&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Money&lt;/span&gt; and we are already improving services for its customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  10568.

  10599. &lt;p&gt;Nationwide first announced that it had&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26429111/virgin-money-nationwide-takeover-deal/&quot;&gt;agreed to a £2.9billion deal to take over Virgin Money&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in March 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  10600.  
  10601.  
  10602.  
  10603. &lt;p&gt;The deal was finalised in October 2024, following the required approvals from regulators and Virgin Money shareholders.&lt;/p&gt;
  10604.  
  10605.  
  10606.  
  10607. &lt;p&gt;However, Nationwide customers were not given the opportunity to vote on the deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  10608.  
  10609.  
  10610.  
  10611. &lt;p&gt;This led to dissatisfaction among some members, with a number expressing their concerns over the Virgin Money acquisition and even petitioning for a vote on whether the sale should proceed.&lt;/p&gt;
  10612.  
  10613.  
  10614.  
  10615. &lt;p&gt;While nothing changed straight away for customers of either bank, there could be some changes in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/future/&quot;&gt;future&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as the Virgin Money brand is slowly phased out over the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/next/&quot;&gt;next&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;six years.&lt;/p&gt;
  10616.  
  10617.  
  10618.  
  10619. &lt;p&gt;The acquisition of Virgin Money means Nationwide now serves over 24.5million customers, employs more than 25,000 staff, and operates nearly 700 branches.&lt;/p&gt;
  10620.  
  10621.  
  10622.  
  10623. &lt;p&gt;It makes Nationwide the country&amp;#8217;s second largest provider of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mortgages/&quot;&gt;mortgages&lt;/a&gt; and savings accounts and the only mutual full-service banking provider in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  10624.  
  10625.  
  10626.  
  10627. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Will Nationwide issue a Fairer Share Payment this year?&lt;/h2&gt;
  10628.  
  10629.  
  10630.  
  10631. &lt;p&gt;Nationwide used today&amp;#8217;s announcement to confirm its intention to once again issue a £100 payment to members later this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10642. &lt;div&gt;
  10643. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HERE we explain who is eligible for the £50 thank you payment and when it will be paid.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10644. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who&amp;#8217;s eligible?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10645. &lt;p&gt;Around 12million Nationwide members are eligible for this £50 bonus.&lt;/p&gt;
  10646. &lt;p&gt;To qualify, you needed to have held at least one of the following accounts on September 30, 2024, and still hold it on the payment date:&lt;/p&gt;
  10647. &lt;ul&gt;
  10648. &lt;li&gt;A savings account&lt;/li&gt;
  10649. &lt;li&gt;A current account&lt;/li&gt;
  10650. &lt;li&gt;A mortgage&lt;/li&gt;
  10651. &lt;/ul&gt;
  10652. &lt;p&gt;You must also have met at least one of these conditions in the 12 months leading up to 30 September 2024:&lt;/p&gt;
  10653. &lt;ul&gt;
  10654. &lt;li&gt;Made at least one transaction on your current or savings account.&lt;/li&gt;
  10655. &lt;li&gt;Maintained a minimum balance of £100 across your Nationwide accounts, including mortgages.&lt;/li&gt;
  10656. &lt;/ul&gt;
  10657. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When will I receive the payment?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10658. &lt;p&gt;The £50 payment will start being issued from April 9, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  10659. &lt;p&gt;Nationwide started contacting eligible members from March 11, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  10660. &lt;p&gt;You can also check your eligibility now by visiting nationwide.co.uk/about-us/the-big-nationwide-thank-you/check.&lt;/p&gt;
  10661. &lt;p&gt;While this £50 payment is a one-off, Nationwide has paid out a separate £100 Fairer Share Payment to eligible members in the past two years.&lt;/p&gt;
  10662. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are members being paid?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10663. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;Big&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nationwide/&quot;&gt;Nationwide&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thank You&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;payment is being issued to customers&amp;nbsp;as a gesture of gratitude to its members for their contribution to the successful&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30816714/virgin-money-important-update-millions-customers-nationwide-takeover/&quot;&gt;acquisition of Virgin Money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10664. &lt;p&gt;Debbie Crosbie, chief executive of Nationwide, said:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;Nationwide became even stronger when it bought Virgin&amp;nbsp;Money&amp;nbsp;and we are already improving services for its customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  10665. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Big Nationwide Thank You recognises the role our members played in building the financial strength that made the deal possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  10666. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s another of the very real&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of being a member of Nationwide and our modern mutual model.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10667. &lt;/div&gt;
  10668. &lt;/div&gt;
  10669. &lt;/div&gt;
  10671.  
  10672.  
  10673.  
  10674. &lt;p&gt;However, this will depend entirely on Nationwide&amp;#8217;s financial performance.&lt;/p&gt;
  10675.  
  10676.  
  10677.  
  10678. &lt;p&gt;The building society added that a final decision will be made in May, when it publishes its results for the 2024/25 financial year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10679.  
  10680.  
  10681.  
  10682. &lt;p&gt;Last June, the building society paid £385million in £100 payments to 3.85million members after announcing a pre-tax profit of £1.77billion.&lt;/p&gt;
  10683.  
  10684.  
  10685.  
  10686. &lt;p&gt;Nationwide&amp;#8217;s boss, Debbie Crosbie, stated back in December that the bank is &amp;#8220;well positioned&amp;#8221; to distribute the £100 payment to members this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10687.  
  10688.  
  10689.  
  10690. &lt;p&gt;However, more than 12million customers missed out on last year&amp;#8217;s £100 &amp;#8220;Fairer Share Payment&amp;#8221; due to the society&amp;#8217;s strict eligibility criteria.&lt;/p&gt;
  10691.  
  10692.  
  10693.  
  10694. &lt;p&gt;Assuming that the eligibility criteria remains the same in 2025, customers&amp;#8217; current accounts should be &amp;#8220;active&amp;#8221; between January and March, so don&amp;#8217;t close your account between these dates.&lt;/p&gt;

  10718. &lt;p&gt;You will also need to use your current account within the first three months of the year, but how you&amp;#8217;ll need to go about this will depend on your account type.&lt;/p&gt;
  10719.  
  10720.  
  10721.  
  10722. &lt;p&gt;For example, customers with a Flex Account, Flex Basic and FlexDirect account must either pay at least £500 into the account and make two payments out.&lt;/p&gt;
  10723.  
  10724.  
  10725.  
  10726. &lt;p&gt;The same customers may also qualify as long as they make at least 10 payments out.&lt;/p&gt;
  10727.  
  10728.  
  10729.  
  10730. &lt;p&gt;Those with a FlexPlus packaged bank account will automatically qualify for the Fairer Share Payment as long as they continue to pay the monthly fee.&lt;/p&gt;
  10731.  
  10732.  
  10733.  
  10734. &lt;p&gt;Customers with a FlexOne, FlexGraduate and FlexStudent can qualify as long as they make a payment into and out of the account in March 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  10735.  
  10736.  
  10737.  
  10738. &lt;p&gt;Finally, all customers outlined above must also ensure they have at least £100 in savings or owe at least £100 on a mortgage with Nationwide in March 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  10739.  
  10740.  
  10741.

  10747.  
  10748.  
  10749.  
  10750. &lt;p&gt;Several major banks and building societies are now offering cash incentives to do so &amp;#8211; including Nationwide.&lt;/p&gt;
  10751.  
  10752.  
  10753.  
  10754. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nationwide/&quot;&gt;Nationwide&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Building Society has launched a new offer of £175 to switch to its FlexDirect, FlexPlus or FlexAccount current accounts.&lt;/p&gt;
  10755.  
  10756.  
  10757.  
  10758. &lt;p&gt;The free-cash perk is a joint-market leading sum with First Direct.&lt;/p&gt;
  10759.  
  10760.  
  10761.  
  10762. &lt;p&gt;The FlexDirect account gives the account holder 5% interest on current account balances up to £1,500 for the first 12 months.&lt;/p&gt;
  10763.  
  10764.  
  10765.  
  10766. &lt;p&gt;This account also offers an interest-free overdraft for balances up to £50.&lt;/p&gt;
  10767.  
  10768.  
  10769.  
  10770. &lt;p&gt;Those who open a new FlexDirect account can also receive 1% cashback for the first 12 months on debit card purchases, capped at £5 per month.&lt;/p&gt;
  10771.  
  10772.  
  10773.  
  10774. &lt;p&gt;You can&amp;#8217;t have switched into a Nationwide account, or have received switch cash from Nationwide, since August 18, 2021 to qualify.&lt;/p&gt;

  10790. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10791. SWITCHING bank accounts is a simple process and can usually be done through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS). &lt;/p&gt;
  10793. &lt;div&gt;
  10794. &lt;p&gt;Dozens of high street banks and building societies are signed up &amp;#8211; there&amp;#8217;s a full list on CASS&amp;#8217; website.&lt;/p&gt;
  10795. &lt;p&gt;Under the switching service, swapping banks should take seven working days. &lt;/p&gt;
  10796. &lt;p&gt;You don&amp;#8217;t have to remember to move direct debits across when moving, as this is done for you.&lt;/p&gt;
  10797. &lt;p&gt;All you have to do is apply for the new account you want, and the new bank will tell your existing one you&amp;#8217;re moving.&lt;/p&gt;
  10798. &lt;p&gt;There are a few things you can do before switching though, including choosing your switch date and transferring any old bank statements to your new account.&lt;/p&gt;
  10799. &lt;p&gt;You should get in touch with your existing bank for any old statements.&lt;/p&gt;
  10800. &lt;p&gt;When switching current accounts, consider what other perks might come with joining a specific bank or building society.&lt;/p&gt;
  10801. &lt;p&gt;Some banks offer 0% overdrafts up to a certain limit, and others might offer better rates on savings accounts.&lt;/p&gt;
  10802. &lt;p&gt;And some banks offer free travel or mobile phone insurance with their current accounts &amp;#8211; but these accounts might come with a monthly fee.&lt;/p&gt;
  10803. &lt;/div&gt;
  10804. &lt;/div&gt;

  10839.  
  10840.  
  10841.  
  10842. &lt;p&gt;Referee Sam Barrott immediately brandished a yellow card at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/james-tarkowski/&quot;&gt;Tarkowski&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10843.  
  10844.  
  10845.  
  10846. &lt;p&gt;The incident was subsequently looked at by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/var/&quot;&gt;VAR&lt;/a&gt; Paul Tierney.&lt;/p&gt;
  10847.  
  10848.  
  10849.  
  10850. &lt;p&gt;But surprisingly, Tierney did &lt;strong&gt;NOT &lt;/strong&gt;urge Barrott to go and take another look on the monitor.&lt;/p&gt;
  10851.  
  10852.  
  10853.  
  10854. &lt;p&gt;In a statement posted on social media, the Premier League confirmed: &amp;#8220;The referee’s call of yellow card for a reckless foul by Tarkowski was checked by the VAR, with contact on the follow through after Tarkowski had played the ball deemed to be reckless.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10855.  
  10856.  
  10857.  
  10858. &lt;p&gt;Challenges deemed to be &amp;#8220;reckless&amp;#8221; by the letter of the law are worthy of a yellow card.&lt;/p&gt;
  10859.  
  10860.  
  10861.  
  10862. &lt;p&gt;For a red card to be shown, officials must determine the tackle to have been &amp;#8220;endangering an opponent&amp;#8221; or to have used &amp;#8220;excessive force&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10863.  
  10864.  
  10865.  
  10866. &lt;p&gt;This means that neither Barrott or Tierney felt that Tarkowski&amp;#8217;s challenge had met either criteria for a red.&lt;/p&gt;
  10867.  
  10868.  
  10869.  
  10870. &lt;p&gt;After Mac Allister received treatment, Liverpool got the game going again &amp;#8211; with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dominik-szoboszlai/&quot;&gt;Dominik Szoboszlai&lt;/a&gt; missing the resulting free-kick.&lt;/p&gt;

  10875.  
  10876.  
  10877.  
  10878. &lt;p&gt;Former Premier League referee &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mike-dean/&quot;&gt;Mike Dean&lt;/a&gt; was watching the game for Sky Sports News.&lt;/p&gt;
  10879.  
  10880.  
  10881.  
  10882. &lt;p&gt;Reviewing the incident, the 56-year-old said: &amp;#8220;The follow through is awful. He hasn&amp;#8217;t got his leg planted, luckily enough.&lt;/p&gt;

  10906. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But it&amp;#8217;s a red card &amp;#8211; speed, intensity, force &amp;#8211; the lot. He gets the ball but the follow through&amp;#8230; it&amp;#8217;s a terrible challenge.&lt;/p&gt;
  10907.  
  10908.  
  10909.  
  10910. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For me he (Barrott) should have gone to the screen, should have sent Tarkowski off &amp;#8211; 100 per cent.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10911.  
  10912.  
  10913.  
  10914. &lt;p&gt;At half-time, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said of Barrott: &amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s in a great position, he has to see that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10915.  
  10916.  
  10917.  
  10918. &lt;p&gt;Carragher then added: &amp;#8220;For Paul Tierney not to give that on VAR, shocking.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10919.  
  10920.  
  10921.  
  10922. &lt;p&gt;Everton hero Duncan Ferguson agreed, saying &amp;#8220;no argument, straight red&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; before calling the challenge a &amp;#8220;leg-breaker&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10923.  
  10924.  
  10925.  
  10926. &lt;p&gt;Gary Neville added: &amp;#8220;It is a horrible tackle. He did not need to follow through like that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10927.  
  10928.  
  10929.  
  10930. &lt;p&gt;Toffees boss David Moyes called it a &amp;#8220;brilliant tackle for a derby game&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; but then admitted that his side may have been &amp;#8220;fortunate&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10935.  
  10936.  
  10937.  
  10938. &lt;p&gt;Tarkowski&amp;#8217;s booking means that he has tied the Premier League record for receiving the most yellow cards without being sent off.&lt;/p&gt;
  10939.  
  10940.  
  10941.  
  10942. &lt;p&gt;The centre-back has now been booked 63 times in 300 appearances in England&amp;#8217;s top flight, taking him level with Oriol Romeu&amp;#8217;s tally of bookings.&lt;/p&gt;
  10943.  
  10944.  
  10945.  
  10946. &lt;p&gt;Following the contentious incident, Everton caused Liverpool problems at Anfield.&lt;/p&gt;
  10947.  
  10948.  
  10949.  
  10950. &lt;p&gt;Forward Beto was in the thick of the action, having a goal ruled out for offside in the 21st minute.&lt;/p&gt;
  10951.  
  10952.  
  10953.  
  10954. &lt;p&gt;The lanky front-man later burst through on goal, only to strike the post as the Kop End held its collective breath.&lt;/p&gt;
  10955.  
  10956.  
  10957.  
  10958. &lt;p&gt;David Moyes&amp;#8217; side were made to regret their missed opportunities, with Diogo Jota firing Liverpool into the lead just shy of the hour mark.&lt;/p&gt;
  10959.  
  10960.  
  10961.  
  10962. &lt;p&gt;The Premier League leaders were then able to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34232500/liverpool-everton-diogo-jota-beto-match-report/&quot;&gt;see out a 1-0 victory&lt;/a&gt;, reclaiming their 12-point lead at the top of the table.&lt;/p&gt;

  10987.  
  10988. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesco/&quot;&gt;Tesco&lt;/a&gt; has introduced the tremendous Clubcard deal just in time for the Easter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/holidays/&quot;&gt;holidays&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10997.  
  10998.  
  10999.  
  11000. &lt;p&gt;Creme Egg lovers should scramble to Tesco to bag the deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  11001.  
  11002.  
  11003.  
  11004. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/a&gt; giant are selling a mixed 5 pack of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cadbury/&quot;&gt;Cadbury&lt;/a&gt; Creme Eggs for just £2.50 on Clubcard price.&lt;/p&gt;
  11005.  
  11006.  
  11007.  
  11008. &lt;p&gt;This means the eggs cost just 50p each.&lt;/p&gt;
  11009.  
  11010.  
  11011.  
  11012. &lt;p&gt;The pack includes two classic eggs, one white egg and two caramel.&lt;/p&gt;
  11013.  
  11014.  
  11015.  
  11016. &lt;p&gt;Without a Clubcard, the pack is priced at £3.50 &amp;#8211; £1 more than if you had one.&lt;/p&gt;
  11017.  
  11018.  
  11019.  
  11020. &lt;p&gt;Tesco has also cut the prices of its largest eggs for Clubcard holders as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34144932/major-supermarket-reduces-price-large-easter-eggs/&quot;&gt;part of a promotion.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11021.  
  11022.  
  11023.  
  11024. &lt;p&gt;A selection of its premium eggs are now priced at either £12 down from £17.50, or £15 down from £20 for those with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34121934/tesco-giving-out-free-products-on-receipts/&quot;&gt;loyalty card&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11025.  
  11026.  
  11027.  
  11028. &lt;p&gt;They include the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33960982/lindt-piccadilly-circus-london-flagship-store-lindor/&quot;&gt;Lindt&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Milk Chocolate Egg With Lindor Milk Truffels 348G, which is now £15, and the Ferrero Rocher Golden&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/easter/&quot;&gt;Easter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Egg With White Chocolate 250G, which is now £12.&lt;/p&gt;
  11029.  
  11030.  
  11031.  
  11032. &lt;p&gt;Clubcard holders can also get the Raffaello White Chocolate Easter Egg 235g for £12 instead of £17.50.&lt;/p&gt;
  11033.  
  11034.  
  11035.  
  11036. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile another major retailer has sent parents into a frenzy after shoppers spotted a giant Kinder Surprise Egg for a bargain price.&lt;/p&gt;

  11109. We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don&amp;#039;t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. &lt;/p&gt;
  11111. &lt;div&gt;
  11112. &lt;p&gt;Consumer reporter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/samuel-walker/&quot;&gt;Sam Walker&lt;/a&gt; reveals how to cut costs&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  11113. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go own brand &amp;#8211; &lt;/strong&gt;if you&amp;#8217;re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you&amp;#8217;ll save by going for the supermarket&amp;#8217;s own brand bars.&lt;/p&gt;
  11114. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shop around&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; if you&amp;#8217;ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it&amp;#8217;s cheaper elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;
  11115. &lt;p&gt;Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you&amp;#8217;re getting the best deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  11116. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Look out for yellow stickers&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they&amp;#8217;ve been reduced.&lt;/p&gt;
  11117. &lt;p&gt;They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.&lt;/p&gt;
  11118. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy bigger bars&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  11119. &lt;p&gt;So if you&amp;#8217;ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.&lt;/p&gt;
  11120. &lt;/div&gt;
  11121. &lt;/div&gt;

  11299. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;JOE Swash has left fans utterly baffled after displaying a very bizarre habit on his new reality show with wife Stacey Solomon.&lt;/p&gt;
  11300.  
  11301.  
  11302.  
  11303. &lt;p&gt;The couple have let cameras into their lives at Pickle Cottage for the very first time and have promised to share all that usually goes on behind closed doors.&lt;/p&gt;
  11304.  
  11305.  
  11306.  
  11307. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230828&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot-Capture-2025-04-02-19-49-13.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Screenshot of a man wearing a flat cap looking down.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230828&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;647&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Joe Swash has left fans baffled with one of his kitchen habits[/caption]
  11308.  
  11309.  
  11310.  
  11311. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230825&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot-Capture-2025-04-02-19-05-40.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A person spreading butter on toast with a gold spoon.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230825&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;520&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Joe buttered his toast with a GOLD SPOON[/caption]
  11312.  
  11313.  
  11314.  
  11315. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34206766/stacey-solomon-fuming-joe-swash-late-pick-up-kids/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;programme made its debut&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; One yesterday and already has fans talking.&lt;/p&gt;
  11316.  
  11317.  
  11318.  
  11319. &lt;p&gt;Within seconds of the programme kicking off, fans were left open-mouthed as Joe laid bare a bizarre kitchen habit of his.&lt;/p&gt;
  11320.  
  11321.  
  11322.  
  11323. &lt;p&gt;As he prepared some toast, he could be seen buttering the bread not with a knife &amp;#8211; but with a SPOON.&lt;/p&gt;
  11324.  
  11325.  
  11326.  
  11327. &lt;p&gt;Joe scraped the butter around the toast using the back of a spoon which immediately raised eyebrows among those watching at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  11328.  
  11329.  
  11330.  
  11331. &lt;p&gt;One fan commented that seeing Joe&amp;#8217;s antics was enough to make them switch off altogether: &amp;#8220;Firstly, I love &amp;#8216;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sort-your-life-out/&quot;&gt;Sort Your Life Out&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216; and I like &lt;span id=&quot;6926d5a8-719c-4881-bda8-b52718968761&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Stacey Solomon&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joe-swash/&quot;&gt;Joe Swash&lt;/a&gt; hmm. I wasn&amp;#8217;t going to watch #staceyandjoe, but I gave it a try. &lt;/p&gt;
  11332.  
  11333.  
  11334.  
  11335. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, no, and absolutely no. Seeing Swash spreading butter on toast with a spoon was more than I could bear. Switched off.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11336.  
  11337.  
  11338.  
  11339. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Does Joe spread butter with a spoon?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11340.  
  11341.  
  11342.  
  11343. &lt;p&gt;Whilst a third was left put off by the family&amp;#8217;s golden cutlery, writing: &amp;#8220;Gold spoon say no more #staceyandjoe.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11344.  
  11345.  
  11346.  
  11347. &lt;p&gt;Joe&amp;#8217;s spoon drama was not the only thing that raised eyebrows on the programme.&lt;/p&gt;
  11348.  
  11349.  
  11350.  
  11351. &lt;p&gt;Stacey&amp;#8217;s&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34203764/furious-stacey-solomon-confronts-son-zach/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; furious row with her 17-year-old son Zach &lt;/a&gt;after he told her that she was &amp;#8220;p***ing him off&amp;#8221; made for interesting viewing.&lt;/p&gt;

  11376.  
  11377.  
  11378.  
  11379. &lt;p&gt;Stacey lost her cool as she raged: &amp;#8220;If you swear at me one more time Zach &amp;#8211; no, I&amp;#8217;m not joking.&lt;/p&gt;
  11380.  
  11381.  
  11382.  
  11383. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, just because there is people here doesn&amp;#8217;t mean I won&amp;#8217;t have that argument with you.&lt;/p&gt;
  11384.  
  11385.  
  11386.  
  11387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, you won&amp;#8217;t do that!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11388.  
  11389.  
  11390.  
  11391. &lt;p&gt;Zach then replied that &amp;#8220;no one cares&amp;#8221; before walking off after the fiery confrontation.&lt;/p&gt;

  11403. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  11404. IF you want a home that gleams like Stacey&amp;#039;s, you&amp;#039;ll need to listen up! &lt;/p&gt;
  11406. &lt;div&gt;
  11407. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Label Everything:&lt;/strong&gt; Stacey swears by the power of labelling. From pantry jars to storage bins, clear labels help keep everything organised and easy to find.&lt;/p&gt;
  11408. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daily Tidy Routine:&lt;/strong&gt; Dedicate 15-20 minutes each day to tidying up. This prevents clutter from building up and makes weekly deep cleaning less daunting.&lt;/p&gt;
  11409. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Baking Soda Magic:&lt;/strong&gt; Stacey uses baking soda for a variety of cleaning tasks. It&amp;#8217;s great for deodorising carpets, cleaning grout, and even freshening up mattresses.&lt;/p&gt;
  11410. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upcycle Containers:&lt;/strong&gt; Repurpose old jars, tins, and containers to store cleaning supplies, craft materials, or kitchen ingredients. It’s both eco-friendly and cost-effective.&lt;/p&gt;
  11411. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shine with Vinegar:&lt;/strong&gt; White vinegar is a staple in Stacey&amp;#8217;s cleaning arsenal. It works wonders on windows, mirrors, and even limescale build-up in kettles.&lt;/p&gt;
  11412. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make It Fun:&lt;/strong&gt; Turn on your favourite music or podcast to make cleaning less of a chore and more of a fun, productive activity.&lt;/p&gt;
  11413. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use a Toothbrush:&lt;/strong&gt; For those hard-to-reach spots, a toothbrush can be an excellent tool. Use it to scrub grout lines, around taps, and in other small crevices.&lt;/p&gt;
  11414. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Declutter Regularly:&lt;/strong&gt; Stacey advises a regular declutter session to get rid of items you no longer need. This keeps your home neat and creates more space for the things you love.&lt;/p&gt;
  11415. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Air Fresheners:&lt;/strong&gt; Create your own natural air fresheners using essential oils. Stacey loves using lavender or citrus oils to keep her home smelling fresh.&lt;/p&gt;
  11416. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microfibre Cloths:&lt;/strong&gt; These are essential for dusting and cleaning surfaces without leaving streaks. They are reusable and can be easily washed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11417. &lt;p&gt;Incorporate these tips into your routine for a cleaner, more organised home, just like Stacey Solomon&amp;#8217;s!&lt;/p&gt;
  11418. &lt;/div&gt;
  11419. &lt;/div&gt;

  11487. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ROMANCING The Stone star Kathleen Turner has been spotted for the first time in six months as she stepped out in New York.&lt;/p&gt;
  11488.  
  11489.  
  11490.  
  11491. &lt;p&gt;Kathleen, 70, wrapped up in a black coat and made her way through Manhattan with a walker while out on the rare sighting.&lt;/p&gt;
  11492.  
  11493.  
  11494.  
  11495. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34231382&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/exclusive-premium-exclusive-rates-apply-984244470.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;Kathleen Turner using a walker in New York City.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34231382&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Cover Images&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Kathleen Turner has been spotted for the first time in six months[/caption]

  11500.  
  11501.  
  11502.  
  11503. &lt;p&gt;The actress, who suffers from&amp;nbsp;rheumatoid arthritis, also wore a cozy blue sweater, black pants and had a black leather bag slung over her shoulder.&lt;/p&gt;
  11504.  
  11505.  
  11506.  
  11507. &lt;p&gt;The actress was last seen in September 2024 walking around New York City with the help of a cane. &lt;/p&gt;
  11508.  
  11509.  
  11510.  
  11511. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;HEALTH ISSUES&lt;/h2&gt;
  11512.  
  11513.  
  11514.  
  11515. &lt;p&gt;Kathleen has had a slew of health problems throughout her life.&lt;/p&gt;
  11516.  
  11517.  
  11518.  
  11519. &lt;p&gt;The actress was at the top of her career in 1984 when she starred in Romancing the Stone, opposite Michael Douglas.&lt;/p&gt;
  11520.  
  11521.  
  11522.  
  11523. &lt;p&gt;However, a few short years after, her health started to decline.&lt;/p&gt;
  11524.  
  11525.  
  11526.  
  11527. &lt;p&gt;She was a leading lady in the 1990s until rheumatoid arthritis slowed her down.&lt;/p&gt;
  11528.  
  11529.  
  11530.  
  11531. &lt;p&gt;Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that affects the joints and organs.&lt;/p&gt;
  11532.  
  11533.  
  11534.  
  11535. &lt;p&gt;While filming Serial Mom in 1993, Kathleen began developing inexplicable pains and fevers.&lt;/p&gt;
  11536.  
  11537.  
  11538.  
  11539. &lt;p&gt;She also experienced extremely swollen feet to the point where she couldn&amp;#8217;t fit into any of her shoes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11540.  
  11541.  
  11542.  
  11543. &lt;p&gt;But, then it got much worse. &lt;/p&gt;
  11544.  
  11545.  
  11546.  
  11547. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I couldn&amp;#8217;t walk,&amp;#8221; Kathleen told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jan/09/ill-never-drink-like-that-again-kathleen-turner-on-booze-health-and-falling-in-love-with-michael-douglas#:~:text=But%20then%20she%20was%20diagnosed,%E2%80%9CI%20couldn't%20walk.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;The Guardian (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Guardian&lt;/a&gt; in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  11548.  
  11549.  
  11550.  
  11551. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I couldn’t hold a glass. The only way I could go up and down stairs was on my butt, pushing myself. The pain is very bad because there’s no way to sit, lie or stand that allows you to escape it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11552.  
  11553.  
  11554.  
  11555. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;People don’t understand because it’s not life-threatening. It will not kill me, but it kills your life,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11556.  
  11557.  
  11558.  
  11559. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;CUTTING BACK&lt;/h2&gt;
  11560.  
  11561.  
  11562.  
  11563. &lt;p&gt;Kathleen started cutting back on her roles, only looking for minor ones.&lt;/p&gt;
  11564.  
  11565.  
  11566.  
  11567. &lt;p&gt;She found small roles on Friends as Chandler Bing&amp;#8217;s dad, as well as voice over roles, and a few movies.&lt;/p&gt;
  11568.  
  11569.  
  11570.  
  11571. &lt;p&gt;The actress has continued her work and her latest role was in the 2023 show, White House Plumbers.&lt;/p&gt;
  11572.  
  11573.  
  11574.  
  11575. &lt;p&gt;Kathleen didn&amp;#8217;t want her illness to derail her career.&lt;/p&gt;
  11576.  
  11577.  
  11578.  
  11579. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yeah, but I wouldn’t accept it. I am a very stubborn woman. I got back to full strength, as full as I would ever be again,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11580.  
  11581.  
  11582.  
  11583. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They told me I would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Now, that was almost 30 years ago. And I look at what I’ve done in 30 years and I think: ‘Well, go to hell!’”&lt;/p&gt;
  11584.  
  11585.  
  11586.  
  11587. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  11588. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  11589. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is arthritis?&lt;/h3&gt;
  11590. &lt;/div&gt;
  11591. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  11593. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  11594. ARTHRITIS is a common condition that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. It can affect people of all ages but is more common as you get older. &lt;/p&gt;
  11596. &lt;div&gt;
  11597. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Types of arthritis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11598. &lt;ul&gt;
  11599. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Osteoarthritis&lt;/strong&gt; – The most common form, caused by wear and tear on the joints.&lt;/li&gt;
  11600. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rheumatoid arthritis&lt;/strong&gt; – An autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the joints.&lt;/li&gt;
  11601. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Psoriatic arthritis&lt;/strong&gt; – Linked to psoriasis, causing joint pain and skin issues.&lt;/li&gt;
  11602. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gout&lt;/strong&gt; – Caused by a buildup of uric acid, leading to sudden and severe pain.&lt;/li&gt;
  11603. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11604. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Symptoms to watch for&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11605. &lt;ul&gt;
  11606. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joint pain and stiffness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  11607. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swelling and redness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  11608. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reduced mobility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  11609. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clicking or grinding sensations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  11610. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11611. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to ease the pain&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11612. &lt;ul&gt;
  11613. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stay active&lt;/strong&gt; – Low-impact exercises like swimming or walking can help.&lt;/li&gt;
  11614. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maintain a healthy weight&lt;/strong&gt; – Reducing pressure on joints can improve symptoms.&lt;/li&gt;
  11615. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Try heat and ice&lt;/strong&gt; – Heat packs ease stiffness, while ice reduces swelling.&lt;/li&gt;
  11616. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Take pain relief&lt;/strong&gt; – Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen can help.&lt;/li&gt;
  11617. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See your GP&lt;/strong&gt; – Early treatment can prevent further joint damage.&lt;/li&gt;
  11618. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11619. &lt;/div&gt;
  11620. &lt;/div&gt;
  11621. &lt;/div&gt;

  11646. <description><![CDATA[]]></description>
  11647. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THIS is the jaw-dropping moment undaunted passengers are thrown around a cruise ship amid colossal waves.&lt;/p&gt;
  11648.  
  11649.  
  11650.  
  11651. &lt;p&gt;Heart-stopping footage showed the cruise ship face up to 40ft waves as it took on the treacherous voyage through the infamous &lt;span id=&quot;f5b0808d-2a07-48bb-8a68-8c0a439b6191&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Drake&lt;/span&gt; Passage.&lt;/p&gt;
  11652.  
  11653.  
  11654.  
  11655. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230567&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 550px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/passengers-aboard-cruise-ship-endured-984270669.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=540&quot; alt=&quot;Passenger on a cruise ship looking out at large waves through a window.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230567&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;lesleyannemurphy via Storyful&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Nearly 40ft waves struck a cruise ship traversing through an infamous passage[/caption]
  11656.  
  11657.  
  11658.  
  11659. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230562&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 550px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/passengers-aboard-cruise-ship-endured-984270795.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=540&quot; alt=&quot;Passengers on a cruise ship taking photos of large waves through the ship's windows.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230562&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;lesleyannemurphy via Storyful&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;One passenger appeared to pretend the floor was a massive surfboard[/caption]
  11660.  
  11661.  
  11662.  
  11663. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230565&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 550px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/passengers-aboard-cruise-ship-endured-984270771.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=540&quot; alt=&quot;Passengers thrown to the floor of a cruise ship lounge during rough seas.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230565&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;lesleyannemurphy via Storyful&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Passengers were thrown around the liner[/caption]
  11664.  
  11665.  
  11666.  
  11667. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/RR-02-04-MAP-DRAKE-PASSAGE_GRAPHIC.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Graphic of the Drake Passage, showing its location between South America and Antarctica, and a photo of a ship encountering large waves in the passage.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230793&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;931&quot; /&gt;
  11668.  
  11669.  
  11670.  
  11671. &lt;p&gt;Captured by travel vlogger Lesley Ann Murphey, the footage showed the Quark Expeditions&amp;#8217; Ocean Explorer ship being struck by massive piles of water as passengers struggled to stand straight.&lt;/p&gt;
  11672.  
  11673.  
  11674.  
  11675. &lt;p&gt;The notorious passage between South America&amp;#8217;s bottom tip, which includes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/argentina/&quot;&gt;Argentina&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/chile/&quot;&gt;Chile&lt;/a&gt;, and the Shetland Islands of Antarctica, is known for being an extremely hazardous journey.&lt;/p&gt;
  11676.  
  11677.  
  11678.  
  11679. &lt;p&gt;The influencer estimated some of the waves were up to 40ft tall.&lt;/p&gt;
  11680.  
  11681.  
  11682.  
  11683. &lt;p&gt;Her videos showed the waves smashing over the tall panelled windows of the cruise ship.&lt;/p&gt;
  11684.  
  11685.  
  11686.  
  11687. &lt;p&gt;Several passengers can be seen moving from side to side as the boat swayed in the rocky currents.&lt;/p&gt;
  11688.  
  11689.  
  11690.  
  11691. &lt;p&gt;A TV was also filmed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/swinging/&quot;&gt;swinging&lt;/a&gt; violently off of the wall as the liner was shaken about.&lt;/p&gt;
  11692.  
  11693.  
  11694.  
  11695. &lt;p&gt;One man was also seen attempting to balance on the floor of the cruise ship as if it were a massive surfboard.&lt;/p&gt;
  11696.  
  11697.  
  11698.  
  11699. &lt;p&gt;And other passengers were seen jogging down a tilted corridor on board the vessel as some of them were even thrown against the wall.&lt;/p&gt;

  11731. &lt;p&gt;Murphy said in the post uploaded to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; that the trip was like  a &amp;#8220;48-hour rollercoaster&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11732.  
  11733.  
  11734.  
  11735. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;I am proud to say we survived not one but two Drake Shakes!&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

  11747. &lt;p&gt;And she explained the dangerous experience to her followers.&lt;/p&gt;
  11748.  
  11749.  
  11750.  
  11751. &lt;p&gt;The Instagram vlogger said: &amp;#8220;For context, the Drake Passage is the body of water between the tip of Argentina and Antarctica. &lt;/p&gt;
  11752.  
  11753.  
  11754.  
  11755. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s infamous for its extremely rough seas.&lt;/p&gt;
  11756.  
  11757.  
  11758.  
  11759. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you’re lucky, you get the Drake Lake. If you’re like us, you get the Drake Shake with 35 ft waves.&lt;/p&gt;
  11760.  
  11761.  
  11762.  
  11763. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes, we were safe and it was insane…and at times, even fun? 1000% worth it for this trip of a lifetime!&lt;/p&gt;
  11764.  
  11765.  
  11766.  
  11767. &lt;p&gt;She added that the exciting yet intense experience was safe, and that crew advised people to stay inside cabins for the afternoon.&lt;/p&gt;
  11768.  
  11769.  
  11770.  
  11771. &lt;p&gt;She explained: &amp;#8220;We were told to stay in our cabins for an entire afternoon yesterday, and there were definitely some silver linings amongst this whole ordeal…we got some down time, we laughed a lot, I processed some of this amazing voyage, I FaceTimed my girls and I learned that wildly enough…I don’t get seasick!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11772.  
  11773.  
  11774.  
  11775. &lt;p&gt;The travel influencer posted the footage last Thursday to her nearly 400,000 followers.&lt;/p&gt;

  11790. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE &amp;#8220;race card&amp;#8221; slur aimed at Prince Harry&amp;#8217;s charity boss is &amp;#8220;hypocritical&amp;#8221; after Meghan used the same argument, says an expert.&lt;/p&gt;
  11791.  
  11792.  
  11793.  
  11794. &lt;p&gt;Dr Sophie Chandauka &amp;#8211; CEO of the duke&amp;#8217;s Africa foundation Sentebale &amp;#8211; has been accused by a source close to its mutinous trustees of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/34215151/prince-harry-charity-boss-race-row/&quot;&gt;using her heritage as a weapon&lt;/a&gt; in arguments over the organisation&amp;#8217;s direction.  &lt;/p&gt;
  11795.  
  11796.  
  11797.  
  11798. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34226670&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 619px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/tim-anderson-sky-news-pa-983553270_620db2.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=609&quot; alt=&quot;Sophie Chandauka, chairwoman of the Sentebale board, on Sky News.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34226670&quot; width=&quot;609&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Dr Sophie Chandauka, the chairwoman of the Sentebale board, appearing on Sky News[/caption]

  11807.  
  11808.  
  11809.  
  11810. &lt;p&gt;It comes after &lt;span&gt;charity founders Harry and Prince Seesio of Lesotho &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/34057013/prince-harry-quit-charity-board-infighting/&quot;&gt;sensationally resigned as patrons last week&lt;/a&gt; in a show of support against Dr Chandauka&amp;#8217;s leadership.&lt;/p&gt;
  11811.  
  11812.  
  11813.  
  11814. &lt;p&gt;She said there had been &amp;#8220;abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, and misogynoir&amp;#8221; from within the charity&amp;#8217;s board.&lt;/p&gt;
  11815.  
  11816.  
  11817.  
  11818. &lt;p&gt;Misogynoir is the term used to describe discrimination against black women.&lt;/p&gt;
  11819.  
  11820.  
  11821.  
  11822. &lt;p&gt;Now a source has told &lt;a aria-label=&quot;The Daily Telegraph (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2025/04/01/charity-boss-playing-race-card-prince-harry-row/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Daily Telegraph&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;As soon as anyone turns against her, she brings the race card in and she comes for you.&lt;/p&gt;
  11823.  
  11824.  
  11825.  
  11826. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s a very poisonous woman and it&amp;#8217;s very sad it&amp;#8217;s come to this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11827.  
  11828.  
  11829.  
  11830. &lt;p&gt;The source also said&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/34150177/harry-charity-polo-match-netflix-meghan/&quot;&gt;Dr Chandauka&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;allegedly accused the trustees of bullying when challenged over losing a major sponsor.&lt;/p&gt;
  11831.  
  11832.  
  11833.  
  11834. &lt;p&gt;The dispute is said to have centred on the annual Sentebale polo cup, which is a key&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fundraising/&quot;&gt;fundraising&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;event for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11835.  
  11836.  
  11837.  
  11838. &lt;p&gt;Royal biographer Hugo Vickers told The Sun: &amp;#8220;The whole situation is obviously very toxic and very difficult.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  11839.  
  11840.  
  11841.  
  11842. &lt;p&gt;And added it isn&amp;#8217;t without its irony, and agreed seeing Harry and Meghan on the other side of such a racism row is somewhat &amp;#8220;hypocritical&amp;#8221; considering the duchess had accused the Royal Family of similar previously. &lt;/p&gt;
  11843.  
  11844.  
  11845.  
  11846. &lt;p&gt;Dr Chandauka alleged there had been &amp;#8220;weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, and misogynoir&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11870. &lt;p&gt;Misogynoir is the term used to describe discrimination against black women.&lt;/p&gt;
  11871.  
  11872.  
  11873.  
  11874. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s understood at least part of the row was sparked by Dr Chandauka&amp;#8217;s push for the charity&amp;#8217;s fundraising to be moved to Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
  11875.  
  11876.  
  11877.  
  11878. &lt;p&gt;Mr Vickers said she is &amp;#8220;using every possible bit of ammunition because she&amp;#8217;s been pushed out and is obviously very upset&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11879.  
  11880.  
  11881.  
  11882. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;Everybody has to be terribly careful whenever they mention anything to do with race issues, because it&amp;#8217;s very complicated, and it&amp;#8217;s very sensational.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11883.  
  11884.  
  11885.  
  11886. &lt;p&gt;He went on to say, while not devaluing Dr Chandauka&amp;#8217;s personal experience of feeling she&amp;#8217;s been targeted in such a way: &amp;#8220;It seems to me that that is one of the cards that people do play when they&amp;#8217;re in trouble.&lt;/p&gt;
  11887.  
  11888.  
  11889.  
  11890. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Meghan Markle herself has played this card once or twice rather prominently.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11891.  
  11892.  
  11893.  
  11894. &lt;p&gt;Mr Vickers was referring most specifically to the Oprah Winfrey interview Meghan and Harry gave in April 2021 in which the duchess alleged two royals had questioned what skin colour the then-unborn Prince Archie would be.&lt;/p&gt;
  11895.  
  11896.  
  11897.  
  11898. &lt;p&gt;He said seeing such an argument used against someone the Sussexes are seemingly in opposition with could be interpreted as &amp;#8220;hypocritical&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11899.  
  11900.  
  11901.  
  11902. &lt;p&gt;However, he said he feels, unfortunately, the irony of the situation is likely lost on Meghan herself.&lt;/p&gt;
  11903.  
  11904.  
  11905.  
  11906. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m not sure she&amp;#8217;s very good on irony,&amp;#8221; he said. &amp;#8220;To be quite honest, I think she&amp;#8217;s always moving forward in her own way&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  11907.  
  11908.  
  11909.  
  11910. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m afraid it&amp;#8217;s all of us who are relating things back, not her.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11911.  
  11912.  
  11913.  
  11914. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;The further you go out into the limelight, the further you put your head above the parapet, as it were, the more you&amp;#8217;re likely to be attacked. &lt;/p&gt;
  11915.  
  11916.  
  11917.  
  11918. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  11919. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  11920. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is Sentebale?&lt;/h3&gt;
  11921. &lt;/div&gt;
  11922. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  11925. &lt;div&gt;
  11926. &lt;p&gt;Sentebale was set up to support those living in poverty, as well as those suffering from Aids and HIV, in Lesotho.&lt;/p&gt;
  11927. &lt;p&gt;Prince Harry started the charity in honour of his mum, Princess Diana, who died in 1997.&lt;/p&gt;
  11928. &lt;p&gt;He met his co-founder Prince Seeiso while on his gap year in 2004.&lt;/p&gt;
  11929. &lt;p&gt;The word Sentebale means &amp;#8220;forget-me-not&amp;#8221; in Sesotho, the local language of Lesotho.&lt;/p&gt;
  11930. &lt;/div&gt;
  11931. &lt;/div&gt;
  11932. &lt;/div&gt;
  11934.  
  11935.  
  11936.  
  11937. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And because she herself has attacked other people it&amp;#8217;s kind of fair game to do so, because I mean that Oprah Winfrey interview that she did she played some very heavy cards in that all those years ago.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11938.  
  11939.  
  11940.  
  11941. &lt;p&gt;Mr Vickers said he believes Meghan, however, will stay out of this row as much as possible. &lt;/p&gt;
  11942.  
  11943.  
  11944.  
  11945. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not really a Meghan Markle issue, although I can see how it could be interpreted as such, because she too has entered into this kind of argument about race,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11946.  
  11947.  
  11948.  
  11949. &lt;p&gt;Mr Vickers added that it&amp;#8217;s a shame Harry has been dragged into the row, and been forced to step away from the charity, having co-founded it in 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
  11950.  
  11951.  
  11952.  
  11953. &lt;p&gt;He described it as one of the two main parts of his legacy harking back to his royal days which are close to his heart and which he&amp;#8217;s worked tirelessly to build &amp;#8211; the other being the Invictus Games. &lt;/p&gt;
  11954.  
  11955.  
  11956.  
  11957. &lt;p&gt;Fellow royal author Ingrid Seward told The Sun earlier this week: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m absolutely certain that Harry had no idea this was going to blow up in the way that it has, and it would be the last thing that he wanted.&lt;/p&gt;
  11958.  
  11959.  
  11960.  
  11961. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s very, very distressed about the whole thing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11962.  
  11963.  
  11964.  
  11965. &lt;p&gt;Ms Seward said the royal has a &amp;#8220;huge emotional investment&amp;#8221; in the charity, with it having been set up in his mum Princess Diana&amp;#8217;s memory.&lt;/p&gt;
  11966.  
  11967.  
  11968.  
  11969. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think he&amp;#8217;s gained a lot of public sympathy over this, because it&amp;#8217;s quite difficult to understand who said what and why this has happened.&amp;nbsp;So people just feel sorry for Harry&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221; she continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  11970.  
  11971.  
  11972.  
  11973. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He is the founder of the charity, no one can take that away from him, but I think he&amp;#8217;s floundering in very deep waters here.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11974.  
  11975.  
  11976.  
  11977. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t think that Mrs Chandauka is going to let this go, and I think this will go on and on until there is some kind of resolve&amp;#8230; She is saying, &amp;#8216;you can&amp;#8217;t get rid of me&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12054.  
  12055. &lt;p&gt;The &amp;#8216;keeper collided with Davinson Sanchez during Brazil&amp;#8217;s game with Colombia in the international break.&lt;/p&gt;

  12058.  
  12059. &lt;p&gt;He left Brazil camp early, and is still side-lined under protocols. &lt;/p&gt;
  12060.  
  12061.  
  12062.  
  12063. &lt;p&gt;Alisson has been training with the Reds, but has to miss the game due to the protocols.&lt;/p&gt;
  12064.  
  12065.  
  12066.  
  12067. &lt;p&gt;Arne Slot commented on the matter, saying yesterday: &amp;#8220;Ali trained with us as well. &lt;/p&gt;
  12068.  
  12069.  
  12070.  
  12071. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The last check has to be made, I think that’s this afternoon after the session, [to determine] if he is available to play.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12111. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THEY say a leopard can&amp;#8217;t change its spots, but it seems Tyger-Drew Honey can make himself virtually unrecognisable.&lt;/p&gt;

  12127. &lt;p&gt;The three-part drama-documentary explores the infamous Whitechapel murders of 1888 from an entirely new angle.&lt;/p&gt;
  12128.  
  12129.  
  12130.  
  12131. &lt;p&gt;It looks at how a team of reporters from local newspaper, The Star, created and fuelled the legend of Jack The Ripper and in so doing, contributed to a serial killer evading justice.&lt;/p&gt;
  12132.  
  12133.  
  12134.  
  12135. &lt;p&gt;Tyger, who’s almost as famous for his adult movie parents Ben Dover and Linzi Drew as he is for appearing in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28097174/outnumbered-cast-plot-filming-locations-explained-bbc-comedy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Outnumbered&lt;/a&gt;, plays one of the hacks on the publication.&lt;/p&gt;
  12136.  
  12137.  
  12138.  
  12139. &lt;p&gt;Hayley Reynolds, Director of Documentaries and Factual at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sky&lt;/a&gt; said: “This series offers audiences a startlingly contemporary lens through which to view the Jack the Ripper story.&lt;/p&gt;
  12140.  
  12141.  
  12142.  
  12143. &lt;p&gt;“The perspectives of contributors who have personal experience of this world provide insight like never before, re-framing the story for Sky HISTORY’s audiences.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12144.  
  12145.  
  12146.  
  12147. &lt;p&gt;Tyger, 29, was last seen in Outnumbered, which launched on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BBC One&lt;/a&gt; in 2007 when he was just 11 years old, at Christmas when a festive special had viewers tuning in in droves.&lt;/p&gt;
  12148.  
  12149.  
  12150.  
  12151. &lt;p&gt;Appearing alongside his TV siblings, played by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/21858149/outnumbered-child-stars-now-daniel-roche/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Daniel Roche&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28102154/outnumbered-ramona-marquez-karen-brockman-christmas-special/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ramona Marquez&lt;/a&gt;, viewers were blown away by just how much they’d grown up since the early days of the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  12152.  
  12153.  
  12154.  
  12155. &lt;p&gt;Just wait till they get a look at Tyger in his latest show, which airs on Sky History on Tuesday at 9pm.&lt;/p&gt;

  12199. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LOVE Island star Millie Court has revealed the HUGE five-figure sum she was paid for one singular Instagram post.&lt;/p&gt;
  12200.  
  12201.  
  12202.  
  12203. &lt;p&gt;The star won the seventh series of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; reality series with boyfriend &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/liam-reardon/&quot;&gt;Liam Reardon&lt;/a&gt; with the pair still currently together and hosts of their very own podcast show.&lt;/p&gt;
  12204.  
  12205.  
  12206.  
  12207. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230413&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/merry-christmas-way-sydney-australia-959784918.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;Couple in red swimwear on a beach in Sydney, Australia.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230413&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Love Island beauty Millie Court has opened up on how much she earns from one social media post[/caption]
  12208.  
  12209.  
  12210.  
  12211. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230410&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 864px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/love-island-s-millie-court-984263781.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=854&quot; alt=&quot;Millie Court on the Liam &amp;amp; Millie Podcast.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230410&quot; width=&quot;854&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Millie Court&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The TV star got a huge five-figure sum for a one-off post[/caption]
  12212.  
  12213.  
  12214.  
  12215. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230412&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 864px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/love-island-s-millie-court-984263726.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=854&quot; alt=&quot;Liam and Millie from Love Island on their podcast.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230412&quot; width=&quot;854&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Millie Court&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;She and Liam spoke about their earnings on their podcast[/caption]
  12216.  
  12217.  
  12218.  
  12219. &lt;p&gt;Both &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesun.co.uk/who/millie-court/&quot;&gt;Millie &lt;/a&gt;and Liam have continued to rake in cash through various endeavours including a number of social media partnerships.&lt;/p&gt;
  12220.  
  12221.  
  12222.  
  12223. &lt;p&gt;Whilst both have enjoyed six-figure paydays for extended deals, with Millie even understood to have bagged a £1.4million multi-year contract with ASOS back in 2021, they have even both commanded five-figures for a one and done post.&lt;/p&gt;
  12224.  
  12225.  
  12226.  
  12227. &lt;p&gt;Opening up about their social media earnings, Millie revealed she had earned almost double what Liam had done for one single post.&lt;/p&gt;
  12228.  
  12229.  
  12230.  
  12231. &lt;p&gt;Whilst she did not reveal which brand she worked with, on their latest podcast episode, Millie confessed she was handed £26,000 for a one-off &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; reel.&lt;/p&gt;
  12232.  
  12233.  
  12234.  
  12235. &lt;p&gt;When responding to a fan question on their biggest bucks, Liam was quick to say: &amp;#8220;Well, yours is going to be a lot more than mine &amp;#8211; women in this industry earn a lot more than the men.&lt;/p&gt;
  12236.  
  12237.  
  12238.  
  12239. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Millie is the bread earner &amp;#8211; and that&amp;#8217;s why I cook dinner all the time and clean the pots and pans!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12240.  
  12241.  
  12242.  
  12243. &lt;p&gt;Millie then admitted: &amp;#8220;This isn&amp;#8217;t a regular thing &amp;#8211; the amount of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; I got paid for this was quite unusual.&lt;/p&gt;
  12244.  
  12245.  
  12246.  
  12247. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We were like, &amp;#8216;wow, as if.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  12248.  
  12249.  
  12250.  
  12251. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was in collaboration with someone else but to be paid singularly to me for just one Instagram reel, it was £26,000!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12252.  
  12253.  
  12254.  
  12255. &lt;p&gt;Liam replied back saying: &amp;#8220;Wow! For me, mine would be £10-12,000 on Instagram, which is a lot of f***ing money.&lt;/p&gt;

  12280.  
  12281.  
  12282.  
  12283. &lt;p&gt;Millie then continued: &amp;#8220;It does baffle me that when we entered this world after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; and we saw the fees and the prices that people would offer to pay.&lt;/p&gt;
  12284.  
  12285.  
  12286.  
  12287. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;£26,000 is some people&amp;#8217;s yearly wage and, I&amp;#8217;m not complaining and I wanna earn loads of money, but we do have a very easy job.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12288.  
  12289.  
  12290.  
  12291. &lt;p&gt;Millie is understood to be worth over £3million since shooting to fame on Love Island.&lt;/p&gt;

  12300.  
  12301.  
  12302.  
  12303. &lt;p&gt;In the last compiled &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/23171454/love-island-rich-list-2023/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;rich list of Love Island released in 2023&lt;/a&gt;, she was the tenth biggest earner from the show and had an estimated £2.9million under her belt.&lt;/p&gt;
  12304.  
  12305.  
  12306.  
  12307. &lt;p&gt;The biggest chunk of her fortune is thought to come from her work with ASOS &amp;#8211; where she worked as a buyer&amp;#8217;s assistant before rising to fame.&lt;/p&gt;
  12308.  
  12309.  
  12310.  
  12311. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As the global face of&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asos/&quot;&gt;ASOS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, she launched with a Style Edit, then her own ASOS Design collection and three Puma &lt;span id=&quot;5015782f-f199-44e4-9bb3-9932d6c9fd9d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;campaigns&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12312.  
  12313.  
  12314.  
  12315. &lt;p&gt;Millie sticks to a £50k-minimum fee for brand deals requiring multiple posts,&amp;nbsp;so since last &lt;span id=&quot;85d0eb5b-3a5e-49da-972a-d1047d34fb21&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; she’s banked at least £200k from working with Tequila Rose, OPI &lt;span id=&quot;3b8ad21e-283e-4781-8c25-cab9698bdd7d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Nails&lt;/span&gt;, Virgin Voyages and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/google/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  12316.  
  12317.  
  12318.  
  12319. &lt;p&gt;Six-figure sums have also come from partnering with online beauty royalty Revolution and &lt;span id=&quot;413d2997-298a-4806-bac7-7b60da59b6ee&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/span&gt; giant Beauty Works.&lt;/p&gt;
  12320.  
  12321.  
  12322.  
  12323. &lt;p&gt;Liam has also achieved a pretty penny thanks to social media and even commanded a large salary from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/e4/&quot;&gt;E4&lt;/a&gt; bosses when he appeared on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebs-go-dating/&quot;&gt;Celebs Go Dating&lt;/a&gt; during his brief split from Millie &amp;#8211; understood to be close to £100,000.&lt;/p&gt;

  12335. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  12336. LOVE Island&amp;#039;s Grace Jackson has bagged a six-figure fashion deal with EGO - but who else has triumphed from the 2024 cohort? &lt;/p&gt;
  12338. &lt;div&gt;
  12339. &lt;p&gt;The Sun exclusively revealed how the Manchester model, 25, has signed a whopping contract with fashion and shoe brand EGO after being inundated with offers following her stint in the villa.&lt;/p&gt;
  12340. &lt;p&gt;She the first bombshell from her series, which was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/29549309/mimii-ngulube-and-josh-oyinsan-winners-love-island-2024/&quot;&gt;won by Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan&lt;/a&gt;, to land a brand deal off the back of the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  12341. &lt;p&gt;Yet it came after make-up artist Samantha Kenny, 27 &amp;#8211; an OG in Love Island&amp;#8217;s 2024 cast line-up &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28725208/love-island-samantha-fashion-deal///&quot;&gt;scooped a big fashion deal with Glamify.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12342. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, mental health nurse Mimii, 24 &amp;#8211; who triumphed in the show final &amp;#8211; is also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/29749307/love-island-mimii-set-million-pound-deals-bidding-war/&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;set for million pound deals&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; as brands clamour to work with her.&lt;/p&gt;
  12343. &lt;p&gt;A source was first to tell us: “Mimii has been taking back to back meetings with five agencies who are all bidding to sign her up.&lt;/p&gt;
  12344. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She’s being promised everything from TV shows to&amp;nbsp;beauty deals&amp;nbsp;to fashion lines &amp;#8211; all worth up to a million.&lt;/p&gt;
  12345. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Anyone would expect her to rush into signing big money deals but she’s taking her time choosing who she works with.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12346. &lt;p&gt;Love Island alumni Molly Smith, 30 &amp;#8211; who had a second stab during this year&amp;#8217;s All Stars series &amp;#8211; also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26921308/love-island-molly-smith-boohoo/&quot;&gt;scooped a Boohoo deal&lt;/a&gt; following her stint on the spin-off.&lt;/p&gt;
  12347. &lt;/div&gt;
  12348. &lt;/div&gt;
  12349. &lt;/div&gt;

  12386.  
  12387.  
  12388.  
  12389. &lt;p&gt;But they got more than they bargained for while teeing off.&lt;/p&gt;
  12390.  
  12391.  
  12392.  
  12393. &lt;p&gt;Players were left stunned as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26351880/pga-tour-golf-alligator-cognizant-classic/&quot;&gt;huge alligator waltzed along the course&lt;/a&gt; in broad daylight.&lt;/p&gt;
  12394.  
  12395.  
  12396.

  12398.  
  12399.  
  12400.  
  12401. &lt;p&gt;And many golfers went in for a closer look as the beast made its way into the long grass.&lt;/p&gt;
  12402.  
  12403.  
  12404.  
  12405. &lt;p&gt;It’s not the first time a reptilian behemoth has made its way on to a golf course.&lt;/p&gt;

  12492. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;POP singer Johnny Tillotson, who had multiple top 10 hits over the years including Poetry in Motion, has died aged 86.&lt;/p&gt;
  12493.  
  12494.  
  12495.

  12512. &lt;p&gt;Nancy told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tmz.com/2025/04/02/singer-johnny-tillotson-dead/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;TMZ (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;TMZ&lt;/a&gt; that her husband had died due to complications from Parkinson&amp;#8217;s at his home in LA, surrounded by family.&lt;/p&gt;
  12513.  
  12514.  
  12515.  
  12516. &lt;p&gt;Her post reads: &amp;#8220;It is with a broken heart that I write to let you know that the sweetest, kindest man I ever met Johnny Tillotson, left &lt;span id=&quot;011c295e-0420-4644-85ca-5bed3261b86e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;earth&lt;/span&gt; for Heaven yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  12517.  
  12518.  
  12519.  
  12520. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was my best beloved, Champion of my realm, Knight of my heart. Someone said, that sometimes right in the middle of an ordinary life you get a fairy tale. &lt;/p&gt;
  12521.  
  12522.  
  12523.  
  12524. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The day I met him I got mine. He was funny, generous and kind. A gentleman through and through. &lt;/p&gt;
  12525.  
  12526.  
  12527.  
  12528. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He loved and was grateful to his fans, as he once said, they made every dream I ever had come true. &lt;/p&gt;
  12529.  
  12530.  
  12531.  
  12532. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Once again on his behalf I say thank you for that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12533.  
  12534.  
  12535.  
  12536. &lt;p&gt;Tillotson rocketed to stardom in 1960 after releasing his hit single Poetry in Motion.&lt;/p&gt;
  12537.  
  12538.  
  12539.  
  12540. &lt;p&gt;This tremendous track peaked at Number 2 on the charts in the US.&lt;/p&gt;
  12541.  
  12542.  
  12543.  
  12544. &lt;p&gt;The legend then followed up with Without You the following year, which reached Number 7.&lt;/p&gt;
  12545.  
  12546.  
  12547.  
  12548. &lt;p&gt;The likes of Dean Martin, Bobby Darin and Elvis Presley have covered some of the legend&amp;#8217;s songs, like Talk Back Trembling Lips, You Can Never Stop Me Loving You, and It Keeps Right on a-Hurtin.&lt;/p&gt;

  12572. &lt;p&gt;Tillotson&amp;#8217;s incredible song-writing ability got him nominated for two Grammy&amp;#8217;s in the 1960s.&lt;/p&gt;
  12573.  
  12574.  
  12575.  
  12576. &lt;p&gt;The last album he released, in 1977, was titled Johnny Tillotson.&lt;/p&gt;
  12577.  
  12578.  
  12579.  
  12580. &lt;p&gt;The legend is survived by his wife Nancy, his stepdaughter Genevieve, his brother Dan, and his beloved grandchildren Nia, Jackson, &lt;span id=&quot;9c1f7b10-d046-4658-b38f-d0d64832a940&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Georgia&lt;/span&gt;, and Gwyneth.&lt;/p&gt;

  12585.

  12587.  
  12588. &lt;p&gt;One reads: &amp;#8220;Johnny was the very best. He is singing with the angels now. He meant the world to so many people. Blessed be his memory.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12589.  
  12590.  
  12591.  
  12592. &lt;p&gt;Another said: &amp;#8220;I still listen to Johnny’s music all the time. My grandkids know all his songs.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12593.  
  12594.  
  12595.  
  12596. &lt;p&gt;And: &amp;#8220;He will be deeply missed by us all. Take &lt;span id=&quot;ac275070-6dc7-4801-9b09-e170989cae42&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pride&lt;/span&gt; in his strength and talent. A true gentleman.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12633.  
  12634.  
  12635.  
  12636. &lt;p&gt;The first series saw &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pete-wicks/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Essex-boy Pete&lt;/a&gt; indulge his love of four legged friends as he went behind the scenes at the Dogs Trust rehoming centre in Basildon.&lt;/p&gt;
  12637.  
  12638.  
  12639.  
  12640. &lt;p&gt;Telly bosses were so pleased with the response they have commissioned another series.&lt;/p&gt;
  12641.  
  12642.  
  12643.  
  12644. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider said: “The show got a great reception when it aired earlier this year, and not just because he was still basking in the afterglow of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Strictly&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12645.  
  12646.  
  12647.  
  12648. &lt;p&gt;“Many viewers compared For Dogs’ Sake to show For The Love Of Dogs, and said he was a worthy successor to the late, great &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paul-o-grady/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Paul O’Grady&lt;/a&gt; who hosted the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; show.&lt;/p&gt;
  12649.  
  12650.  
  12651.  
  12652. &lt;p&gt;They noticed how it was obvious just how much Pete adores canines through the four-part series.&lt;/p&gt;
  12653.  
  12654.  
  12655.  
  12656. &lt;p&gt;“It will be interesting news for ITV, as it has just launched a second series of For The Love Of Dogs under new host &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alison-hammond/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alison Hammond&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12657.  
  12658.  
  12659.  
  12660. &lt;p&gt;The ITV show has long been the TV go-to for dog lovers, not least because it is filmed at London’s Battersea Dogs And Cats Home where, just this week, TV presenter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-piper/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kate Piper&lt;/a&gt; adopted a puppy.&lt;/p&gt;
  12661.  
  12662.  
  12663.  
  12664. &lt;p&gt;But Pete’s programme could soon rival it, thanks to his passion for pooches.&lt;/p&gt;
  12665.  
  12666.  
  12667.  
  12668. &lt;p&gt;During his time filming For Dogs’ Sake, Pete met a pug facing troubling surgery, a litter of puppies abandoned in a cardboard box and rescued three stray dogs from Northern Ireland.&lt;/p&gt;
  12669.  
  12670.  
  12671.  
  12672. &lt;p&gt;Pete has long been a campaigner for animal welfare and in 2017 even travelled to South Korea, a country where over 2.5million dogs are killed for meat, and saved around 170 dogs from certain death on a dog meat farm.&lt;/p&gt;
  12673.  
  12674.  
  12675.  
  12676. &lt;p&gt;He even brought 13 home with him and received a heartfelt message of thanks from fellow dog lover &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/simon-cowell/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Simon Cowell&lt;/a&gt; for his heroic efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
  12677.  
  12678.  
  12679.  
  12680. &lt;p&gt;Maybe Simon could hire him as a judge for his new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/britains-got-talent/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Britain’s Got Talent&lt;/a&gt; spin-off show for dog acts.&lt;/p&gt;

  12721.  
  12722.  
  12723.  
  12724. &lt;p&gt;On average one million viewers have been tuning in to the latest series –  a decent figure given its schedule slot.&lt;/p&gt;
  12725.  
  12726.  
  12727.  
  12728. &lt;p&gt;Yesterday &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/channel-4/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;C4&lt;/a&gt; said: “We are currently casting for a potential new series of Tempting Fortune. &lt;/p&gt;
  12729.  
  12730.  
  12731.  
  12732. &lt;p&gt;“A group of people will be able to indulge in amazing temptations and even take home a life-changing sum of money.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12733.  
  12734.  
  12735.  
  12736. &lt;p&gt;This series, dubbed a cross between &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-traitors/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Traitors&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/race-across-the-world-tv-show/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Race Across The World&lt;/a&gt;, airs on Sunday night and has seen 12 contestants trek across the jungles of Malaysia in the hope of winning up to £300,000.&lt;/p&gt;

  12878.  
  12879. &lt;p&gt;The Cancellation Of Benny Hill will be the first to air on April 13, looking at how the comedy show went from having more viewers than the 1969 moon landing, to now being rarely shown.&lt;/p&gt;

  12902. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;JESY NELSON has signed a big-money deal with Prime Video to bring viewers into her home as she prepares to become a mum.&lt;/p&gt;
  12903.  
  12904.  
  12905.  
  12906. &lt;p&gt;I can reveal cameras have already started following her for the show, after the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32757499/jesy-nelson-pregnant-first-child-little-mix-bump/&quot;&gt;announcement in January&lt;/a&gt; that she was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32757753/ways-jesy-nelson-hid-pregnancy-baggy-social-breaks/&quot;&gt;expecting identical twins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  12915.  
  12916.  
  12917.  
  12918. &lt;p&gt;At the time I told how TV companies were eager to bring &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jesy-nelson&quot;&gt;the former Little Mix singer&lt;/a&gt;’s pregnancy journey to the screen, and now it really is happening.&lt;/p&gt;
  12919.  
  12920.  
  12921.  
  12922. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider said: “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amazon-prime/&quot;&gt;Prime Video&lt;/a&gt; is making a project following &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32770230/jesy-nelson-motherhood-not-for-me-pregnant-twins/&quot;&gt;Jesy’s pregnancy&lt;/a&gt; and the birth of her twins.&lt;/p&gt;
  12923.  
  12924.  
  12925.  
  12926. &lt;p&gt;“Filming is under way and the aim is for the show to follow her from the early days of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32785473/jesy-nelson-shows-huge-baby-bump-twins-pregnancy-reveal/&quot;&gt;her pregnancy&lt;/a&gt;, right through to the birth and then how she copes as she becomes a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32860819/jesy-nelson-pregnant-cradles-bump0twins/&quot;&gt;first-time mum&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  12927.  
  12928.  
  12929.  
  12930. &lt;p&gt;“At the moment, they are seeing how things go and they will work out later on whether it will be a series of a feature-length documentary.&lt;/p&gt;
  12931.  
  12932.  
  12933.  
  12934. &lt;p&gt;“It has already been a transformative experience for her and she wanted to document this special time.&lt;/p&gt;
  12935.  
  12936.  
  12937.  
  12938. &lt;p&gt;“It hasn’t been easy at all for her, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33752177/jesy-nelson-tears-emergency-procedure-twins-best-chance-survival/&quot;&gt;lots of complications&lt;/a&gt;, but she is hoping the show will help raise awareness for issues in pregnancy. &lt;/p&gt;
  12939.  
  12940.  
  12941.  
  12942. &lt;p&gt;“If she can help even one other person with it, it will all be worthwhile.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12943.  
  12944.  
  12945.  
  12946. &lt;p&gt;Jesy, who is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32998888/jesy-nelson-pregnant-sickness-twins-names/&quot;&gt;having her kids&lt;/a&gt; with musician &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32772251/jesy-nelson-boyfriend-zion-foster-parents-twins/&quot;&gt;Zion Foster&lt;/a&gt;, revealed last month that she was having two scans a week because a health scare with the twins, who are due this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  12947.  
  12948.  
  12949.  
  12950. &lt;p&gt;The Boyz singer has since &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34148632/jesy-nelson-hospital-emergency-surgery-twins/&quot;&gt;undergone an emergency procedure &lt;/a&gt;to help the unborn babies, and at the weekend &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33625881/pregnant-jesy-nelson-bare-baby-bump-percy-pigs/&quot;&gt;issued an update&lt;/a&gt; that she is having to stay in hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  12951.  
  12952.  
  12953.  
  12954. &lt;p&gt;She said: “The situation that we’re in now is my cervix is very, very short, so I can’t leave the hospital because my waters could break at any point and I’m still very, very early.&lt;/p&gt;

  13005. &lt;div&gt;
  13006. &lt;p&gt;TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;
  13007. &lt;p&gt;They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy.&lt;/p&gt;
  13008. &lt;p&gt;Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the different types of twins?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13009. &lt;p&gt;Monozygotic – identical twins (&amp;#8216;one cell&amp;#8217; twins)&lt;/p&gt;
  13010. &lt;p&gt;Dizygotic – also known as ‘fraternal’, non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes&lt;/p&gt;
  13011. &lt;p&gt;Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it’s estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours.&lt;/p&gt;
  13012. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can identical twins be two different sexes?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes.&lt;/p&gt;
  13013. &lt;p&gt;The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
  13014. &lt;p&gt;Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female).&lt;/p&gt;
  13015. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are Di Di twins?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins.&lt;/p&gt;
  13016. &lt;p&gt;They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical.&lt;/p&gt;
  13017. &lt;p&gt;There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor.&lt;/p&gt;
  13018. &lt;p&gt;Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical.&lt;/p&gt;
  13019. &lt;/div&gt;
  13020. &lt;/div&gt;

  13093.  
  13094.  
  13095.  
  13096. &lt;p&gt;Her comments caused a massive backlash, and TikTok has been going off on one ever since her appearance.&lt;/p&gt;
  13097.  
  13098.  
  13099.  
  13100. &lt;p&gt;But she’s got a point.&lt;/p&gt;

  13587. &lt;p&gt;A &amp;#8216;LOVERBOY&amp;#8217; lag who had a fling with a prison officer and nurse at the same time has been arrested.&lt;/p&gt;
  13588.

  13604.  
  13605.  
  13606.  
  13607. &lt;p&gt;Pullen was wanted over suspected drug dealing but allegedly escaped in handcuffs from hospital with four more women quizzed over helping him flee.&lt;/p&gt;
  13608.  
  13609.  
  13610.  
  13611. &lt;p&gt;But officers have now confirmed the inmate has been arrested a week after his disappearance from the Grange Hospital in Cwmbran.&lt;/p&gt;
  13612.  
  13613.  
  13614.  
  13615. &lt;p&gt;Gwent Police said in a statement: &amp;#8220;We recently appealed for information to find 27-year-old Harri Pullen from Newport. He has since been arrested.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13616.  
  13617.  
  13618.  
  13619. &lt;p&gt;Pullen had an &amp;#8220;inappropriate relationship&amp;#8221; with prison nurse Elyse Hibbs, 27, and also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25119563/prison-officer-ruth-shmylo-cleared-affair-inmate/&quot;&gt;repeatedly phoned prison officer Ruth Shmylo&lt;/a&gt;, 26, to tell her &amp;#8220;I love you&amp;#8221; in a series of calls from his cells, a court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  13620.  
  13621.  
  13622.  
  13623. &lt;p&gt;Shmylo was accused of having a five-month relationship with Pullen &amp;#8211; and calls between them were recorded by prison bosses, a court heard previously.&lt;/p&gt;
  13624.  
  13625.  
  13626.  
  13627. &lt;p&gt;However, Shmylo was cleared of misconduct in a public office following a trial in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  13628.  
  13629.  
  13630.  
  13631. &lt;p&gt;Loverboy Pullen first had an illicit affair with nurse Hibbs while at HMP Parc in Bridgend, Wales.&lt;/p&gt;
  13632.  
  13633.  
  13634.  
  13635. &lt;p&gt;Hibbs was jailed after her relationship with the lag while he was serving time for being part of a drugs gang.&lt;/p&gt;
  13636.  
  13637.  
  13638.  
  13639. &lt;p&gt;She had worked at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prison/&quot;&gt;prison&lt;/a&gt; since September 2018 and met the inmate when she gave him medical treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
  13640.  
  13641.  
  13642.  
  13643. &lt;p&gt;Pullen was jailed for five years in 2019 over his role in a drug network that flooded South&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with cocaine and heroin.&lt;/p&gt;
  13644.  
  13645.  
  13646.  
  13647. &lt;p&gt;The nurse claimed she was &amp;#8220;pressurised&amp;#8221; into flirting with him &amp;#8211; but a judge sent her to prison for six months.&lt;/p&gt;
  13648.  
  13649.  
  13650.  
  13651. &lt;p&gt;He was handed a further four years and nine months after a phone was found smuggled up his backside while being transferred in preparation for his release.&lt;/p&gt;

  13674.  
  13675. &lt;p&gt;After he was moved to HMP Manchester in May 2021, Pullen got his mum and a pal to track her down on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13676.  
  13677.  
  13678.  
  13679. &lt;p&gt;Hibbs gave them her number before exchanging texts and calls with Pullen.&lt;/p&gt;
  13680.  
  13681.  
  13682.  
  13683. &lt;p&gt;Hibbs quit her post at HMP Parc in July 2021 and was arrested a week later after admitting her crimes.&lt;/p&gt;
  13684.  
  13685.  
  13686.  
  13687. &lt;p&gt;She was then jailed over her &amp;#8220;flirtatious&amp;#8221; phone calls with the lag.&lt;/p&gt;
  13688.  
  13689.  
  13690.  
  13691. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Shmylo was also accused of embarking on a relationship with Pullen.&lt;/p&gt;
  13692.  
  13693.  
  13694.  
  13695. &lt;p&gt;She had phone&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sex/&quot;&gt;sex&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with the lag, who was part of an organised&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;gang, and met his mother, it was alleged.&lt;/p&gt;

  13700.  
  13701.  
  13702.  
  13703. &lt;p&gt;Shmylo had allegedly contacted one lag over&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and was seen on CCTV blowing a kiss to a prisoner.&lt;/p&gt;
  13704.  
  13705.  
  13706.  
  13707. &lt;p&gt;She also shunned her prison officer uniform to wear &amp;#8220;skin-tight trousers&amp;#8221;, the court was told.&lt;/p&gt;
  13708.  
  13709.  
  13710.  
  13711. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;PRISON ROMANCE&lt;/h2&gt;
  13712.  
  13713.  
  13714.  
  13715. &lt;p&gt;Shmylo&amp;#8217;s affair with Pullen started when the drug dealer passed a mobile number to her on a slip of paper, jurors heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  13716.  
  13717.  
  13718.  
  13719. &lt;p&gt;The court heard she called him and the pair had &amp;#8220;teenage&amp;#8221; style chats and phone sex after the inmate began calling &amp;#8220;daily&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13720.  
  13721.  
  13722.  
  13723. &lt;p&gt;Pullen messaged Shmylo wishing her &amp;#8220;happy birthday princess girl&amp;#8221; and arranged for his mother to meet up with her, it was said.&lt;/p&gt;
  13724.  
  13725.  
  13726.  
  13727. &lt;p&gt;He also allegedly referred to the prison officer as his &amp;#8220;Mrs&amp;#8221; and repeatedly told her he was in love with her.&lt;/p&gt;
  13728.  
  13729.  
  13730.  
  13731. &lt;p&gt;Jurors heard after she lost her job, Pullen was moved 200 miles to HMP&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;but the pair still kept in touch.&lt;/p&gt;
  13732.  
  13733.  
  13734.  
  13735. &lt;p&gt;The five-month alleged affair was rumbled after the couple&amp;#8217;s calls began being recorded when Pullen added Shmylo to his visitor&amp;#8217;s list.&lt;/p&gt;
  13736.  
  13737.  
  13738.  
  13739. &lt;p&gt;After she was arrested, Shmylo made &amp;#8220;several admissions&amp;#8221; to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13740.  
  13741.  
  13742.  
  13743. &lt;p&gt;She admitted having phone sex with Pullen but claimed she tried to tell him to &amp;#8220;stop&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13744.  
  13745.  
  13746.  
  13747. &lt;p&gt;Shmylo, of Treforest, Pontypridd was cleared of one charge of misconduct in a public office.&lt;/p&gt;

  13771. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LUCKLESS Stephen Bunting is using the power of hypnotherapy to remain upbeat despite being on the verge of creating a new Premier League low.&lt;/p&gt;
  13772.  
  13773.  
  13774.  
  13775. &lt;p&gt;The Bullet, 39, is rock bottom of the table with ZERO points, having lost all EIGHT first-round games this year in the £1million tournament.&lt;/p&gt;

  13787. &lt;p&gt;In fact, he is on a 12-game &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/premier-league-darts/&quot;&gt;Prem&lt;/a&gt; winless streak – he has not won in the competition since beating Gary Anderson 7-1 in Cardiff on April 23, 2015, in his debut year at this level.&lt;/p&gt;
  13788.  
  13789.  
  13790.  
  13791. &lt;p&gt;In the 2020 Covid-hit tournament, he drew 6-6 with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rob-cross/&quot;&gt;Rob Cross&lt;/a&gt; on his home stage of Liverpool in a one-off appearance as a contender.&lt;/p&gt;
  13792.  
  13793.  
  13794.  
  13795. &lt;p&gt;The worst Prem streak is held by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/peter-wright/&quot;&gt;Peter Wright&lt;/a&gt;, who went 13 games across the 2019 and 2020 editions without celebrating a win.&lt;/p&gt;
  13796.

  13799. &lt;p&gt;Should the St Helens thrower lose to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34059807/nathan-aspinall-darts-feat-european-tour-title/&quot;&gt;Nathan Aspinall&lt;/a&gt; on Thursday in Berlin – on week nine – then he will equal Snakebite’s terrible tally.&lt;/p&gt;
  13800.  
  13801.  
  13802.  
  13803. &lt;p&gt;Yet in a chat with SunSport on Zoom from the German capital, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34118560/stephen-bunting-luke-littler-premier-league-darts/&quot;&gt;Bunting&lt;/a&gt; was still smiling and refusing to talk about the negatives.&lt;/p&gt;
  13804.  
  13805.  
  13806.  
  13807. &lt;p&gt;Regular sessions being put in a trance by Merseyside-based hypnotherapist Chris O’Connor have changed his mindset and is the reason he remains confident the nightmare run will soon end.&lt;/p&gt;
  13808.  
  13809.  
  13810.  
  13811. &lt;p&gt;The world No5 said: “The Premier League ten years ago sort of killed me.&lt;/p&gt;
  13812.  
  13813.  
  13814.  
  13815. &lt;p&gt;“When I got dropped, it was such a bitter pill to swallow. I didn’t think I deserved to be dropped. I finished eighth.&lt;/p&gt;

  13820.  
  13821.  
  13822.  
  13823. &lt;p&gt;“I believe I’m a better player now than I was back then. Times change. I’m trying my best. That’s all I can do and the preparations have been right.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13824.  
  13825.  
  13826.  
  13827. &lt;p&gt;Luke Littler, the world champion, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34137242/luke-littler-stephen-bunting-bunting-darts-advice/&quot;&gt;backed Bunting to turn around this dreadful dip&lt;/a&gt; and the 2014 Lakeside world champion said those words have “inspired me to push on”.&lt;/p&gt;

  13894. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;EMMA RADUCANU has pulled out of Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup double-header in Holland due to fitness concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
  13895.  
  13896.  
  13897.  
  13898. &lt;p&gt;The former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/us-open-tennis/&quot;&gt;US Open&lt;/a&gt; champion is going to take a brief break from the WTA Tour this month and instead focus on her training load in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

  13903.  
  13904.  
  13905.  
  13906. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34230052&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/team-great-britain-line-national-984224947_bc8da7.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Two smiling Great Britain Billie Jean King Cup tennis players in team uniforms.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34230052&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Raducanu &amp;#8216;loves&amp;#8217; playing for GB but will miss a big double header[/caption]
  13907.  
  13908.  
  13909.  
  13910. &lt;p&gt;Her team say that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/emma-raducanu/&quot;&gt;Raducanu&lt;/a&gt; “loves representing Team GB in this event” but she has had a “very busy schedule so far this year”.&lt;/p&gt;
  13911.  
  13912.  
  13913.  
  13914. &lt;p&gt;While there is no specified injury, they feel it is better in the long run that she takes time away from top-level tournaments to rest up and focus on a “mini training block for the next two to three weeks”.&lt;/p&gt;
  13915.  
  13916.  
  13917.  
  13918. &lt;p&gt;Raducanu has been criss-crossing the globe in 2025, playing 14 matches across seven events – in Australia, Singapore, UAE (twice), Qatar and United States (twice).&lt;/p&gt;
  13919.  
  13920.  
  13921.  
  13922. &lt;p&gt;Though no official return date has been provided, the decision to withdraw from upcoming competitions is not expected to impact her preparations for the French Open on Parisian clay in late May.&lt;/p&gt;
  13923.  
  13924.  
  13925.  
  13926. &lt;p&gt;Next week Britain are playing hosts Holland and Germany in consecutive days as they attempt to qualify for the BJK Cup Finals in the Chinese city of Shenzhen in November.&lt;/p&gt;
  13927.  
  13928.  
  13929.  
  13930. &lt;p&gt;And this surprise decision has left skipper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22904413/anne-keothavong-wimbledon/&quot;&gt;Anne Keothavong&lt;/a&gt; scrambling round for alternatives as they face a crunch week in terms of key international duty.&lt;/p&gt;
  13931.  
  13932.  
  13933.  
  13934. &lt;p&gt;Raducanu, 22, had a brilliant time at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34085151/emma-raducanu-miami-open-health-scare-jessia-pegula/&quot;&gt;the Miami Open&lt;/a&gt; in March, reaching the quarter-finals where she lost in three sets to America’s world No.4 Jessica Pegula.&lt;/p&gt;
  13935.  
  13936.  
  13937.  
  13938. &lt;p&gt;That run in Florida saw her win four games in a row for the first time in nearly four years and she has risen back into the world’s top 50.&lt;/p&gt;
  13939.  
  13940.  
  13941.  
  13942. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32855412/best-online-casinos-uk/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEST ONLINE CASINOS &amp;#8211; TOP SITES IN THE UK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13943.  
  13944.  
  13945.  
  13946. &lt;p&gt;During that fortnight, she had Mark Petchey, the Tennis Channel commentator, in her corner.&lt;/p&gt;
  13947.  
  13948.  
  13949.  
  13950. &lt;p&gt;But it is not known if that was a one-off or whether they would consider future events together.&lt;/p&gt;

  13993. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;BRITISH tennis star Fran Jones has revealed why she collapsed on court on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  13994.

  14010.  
  14011.  
  14012.  
  14013. &lt;p&gt;Jones had been serving at 3-5 in the third set, having been in action at extreme altitude for nearly two-and-a-half hours.&lt;/p&gt;
  14014.  
  14015.  
  14016.  
  14017. &lt;p&gt;The match in Colombia was played barely 48 hours after Jones won an ITF event in Vacaria, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/brazil/&quot;&gt;Brazil&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14018.  
  14019.  
  14020.  
  14021. &lt;p&gt;Updating fans on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, the British No5 wrote: &amp;#8220;After winning the event in Brazil on Sunday our total trip took over 24 hours, with minimal rest and recovery from a long week.&lt;/p&gt;
  14022.  
  14023.  
  14024.  
  14025. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Bogota is renowned for its altitude and often takes a few days to adapt.&lt;/p&gt;
  14026.  
  14027.  
  14028.  
  14029. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Unfortunately upon our arrival Monday afternoon we were unable to practice due to rain and this meant that aside from my low-level pre-match warm-up, my first exposure to the limited oxygen levels at a high intensity was my match.&lt;/p&gt;
  14030.  
  14031.  
  14032.  
  14033. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As the match went on, I worked hard to give myself the opportunity to stay competitive but progressively struggled, blurry vision eventually leading to collapsing, with no cramp having occurred.&lt;/p&gt;
  14034.  
  14035.  
  14036.  
  14037. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Overnight, we conducted multiple studies and it seems my heart worked a little too hard on the day but thankfully no longer-term impact.&lt;/p&gt;
  14038.  
  14039.  
  14040.  
  14041. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Bogota is one of my favourite events of the year and I hope to reconnect in 2026 under different circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;
  14042.  
  14043.  
  14044.  
  14045. &lt;p&gt;After a few days’ rest, I will continue to build on the improvements made to date this season. Thank you for the messages and concern.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14046.  
  14047.  
  14048.  
  14049. &lt;p&gt;Jones is No129 in the WTA rankings, just six places shy of her career best set last month.&lt;/p&gt;

  14087.

  14089. &lt;p&gt;Doctors previously told Jones to give up on her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tennis/&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; career but she has since thrived, winning several ITF titles.&lt;/p&gt;

  14116. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ONE little-known footballer used to be the third highest paid player in the world, but now he&amp;#8217;s swapped the pitch for the pitching wedge.&lt;/p&gt;
  14117.  
  14118.  
  14119.  
  14120. &lt;p&gt;Dario Conca, 41, once had comparable bank balances to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lionel-messi/&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cristiano-ronaldo/&quot;&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt; when he was in his prime.&lt;/p&gt;
  14121.

  14128. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229949&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 867px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/www-instagram-com-concaoficial-984247909_85f86d.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=857&quot; alt=&quot;Dario Conca of Guangzhou Evergrande FC playing soccer.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229949&quot; width=&quot;857&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram @concaoficial&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Conca has now turned his attention to golf[/caption]
  14129.  
  14130.  
  14131.  
  14132. &lt;p&gt;Conca, who hung up his boots in 2019, had a career that saw him earn over &lt;strong&gt;£50MILLION&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14133.  
  14134.  
  14135.  
  14136. &lt;p&gt;The Argentinian midfielder spent most of his career playing in South America for the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/7807562/river-plate/&quot;&gt;River Plate&lt;/a&gt;, Vasco de Gama and Fluminense.&lt;/p&gt;
  14137.  
  14138.  
  14139.  
  14140. &lt;p&gt;But after nine years of tearing it up in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1775471/brazil/&quot;&gt;Brazil&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1322323/argentina/&quot;&gt;Argentina&lt;/a&gt;, Conca turned his attention to Asia &amp;#8211; earning a £7.6m switch to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/chinese-super-league/&quot;&gt;Chinese Super League&lt;/a&gt; in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
  14141.  
  14142.  
  14143.  
  14144. &lt;p&gt;Conca penned a two-and-a-half-year deal with Guangzhou Evergrande worth an eye-popping £170,000 per week.&lt;/p&gt;
  14145.  
  14146.  
  14147.  
  14148. &lt;p&gt;That money made him the third highest-paid player in the world, only earning less than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in their prime as they battled it out in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/la-liga/&quot;&gt;La Liga&lt;/a&gt; for Real Madrid and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1232720/barcelona/&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14149.  
  14150.  
  14151.  
  14152. &lt;p&gt;After three seasons earning his pay cheque and scoring 54 goals in 99 appearances, Conca left China to return to Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;
  14153.  
  14154.  
  14155.  
  14156. &lt;p&gt;Now, some 11 years later, he has found a new passion in a completely new sport.&lt;/p&gt;
  14157.  
  14158.  
  14159.  
  14160. &lt;p&gt;Conca has turned his hand to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/golf/&quot;&gt;golf&lt;/a&gt;, and is hoping to make it pro on the course the same way he did on the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  14161.

  14177.  
  14178.

  14203.  
  14204. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve already started on the&amp;nbsp;golf&amp;nbsp;course, I always wanted to play, to discover new sports.&amp;nbsp;[Golf] always caught my attention.&lt;/p&gt;
  14205.  
  14206.  
  14207.  
  14208. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Today I have more time to dedicate myself, to do something that motivates me to overcome myself.&lt;/p&gt;
  14209.  
  14210.  
  14211.  
  14212. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You think I start playing games, right? I want to play golf. It happens with every player, we feel that desire to compete, to always want to come and improve every day. Let&amp;#8217;s start as a joke, like another sport.&lt;/p&gt;
  14213.  
  14214.  
  14215.  
  14216. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then we&amp;#8217;ll see. I&amp;#8217;ll try to do my best, prepare myself, train and then we&amp;#8217;ll see how far to go.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14217.  
  14218.  
  14219.  
  14220. &lt;p&gt;Conca is yet to make it pro and it wouldn&amp;#8217;t be the best bet to whack your savings on him playing in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-masters-2/&quot;&gt;The Masters&lt;/a&gt; any time soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  14221.  
  14222.  
  14223.  
  14224. &lt;p&gt;But he certainly does have a love for the sport, regularly sharing snaps of himself on the course all over the world &amp;#8211; including a round on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/donald-trump/&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s Miami course last year.&lt;/p&gt;

  14237.  
  14238.  
  14239.  
  14240. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;A career to remember&lt;/h2&gt;
  14241.  
  14242.  
  14243.  
  14244. &lt;p&gt;Despite not reaching the heights of Messi and Ronaldo on the pitch, Conca still had an impressive career.&lt;/p&gt;
  14245.  
  14246.  
  14247.  
  14248. &lt;p&gt;He won the Brazilian top flight in 2010 and earned the title of Serie A player of the year in the same season.&lt;/p&gt;
  14249.  
  14250.  
  14251.  
  14252. &lt;p&gt;He was also a three-time Chinese champion during his spell with Guangzhou Evergrande, as well as winning the Chinese Super Cup, Chinese Cup and the AFC Champions League.&lt;/p&gt;
  14253.  
  14254.  
  14255.  
  14256. &lt;p&gt;But it wasn&amp;#8217;t all plane sailing for the former Argentina youth international.&lt;/p&gt;
  14257.  
  14258.  
  14259.  
  14260. &lt;p&gt;During his time in China he was slapped with a huge nine-game ban after he questioned his own manager&amp;#8217;s decision to substitute him.&lt;/p&gt;
  14261.  
  14262.  
  14263.  
  14264. &lt;p&gt;He said at the time: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t understand why they always sideline me with the excuse that I&amp;#8217;m exhausted and need rest.&lt;/p&gt;
  14265.  
  14266.  
  14267.  
  14268. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;How could I have scored a crucial penalty if I&amp;#8217;m not in condition? And why does the coach always have Conca take a rest?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14269.  
  14270.  
  14271.  
  14272. &lt;p&gt;Conca ultimately left China to return to Fluminense in Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;
  14273.  
  14274.  
  14275.  
  14276. &lt;p&gt;That was until a call came from former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; boss, the late &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sven-goran-eriksson/&quot;&gt;Sven Goran Eriksson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14277.

  14383. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;FORMER Manchester United star Brandon Williams has admitted that it &amp;#8220;hurts watching football&amp;#8221; since being released by the club last summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  14384.  
  14385.  
  14386.  
  14387. &lt;p&gt;Williams, 24, spoke candidly to retired England goalkeeper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ben-foster/&quot;&gt;Ben Foster&lt;/a&gt;  about what &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28367758/brandon-williams-man-utd-release-emotional-video/&quot;&gt;life has been like without a football club since July of last year.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14388.  
  14389.  
  14390.  
  14391. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229608&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/653f6876-7dca-4063-8fb4-052ff4954d81.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Brandon Williams, former Manchester United defender, in an interview.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229608&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;856&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Former Manchester United star Brandon Williams has opened up on life away from football&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram / @thefozcastpodcast&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  14392.  
  14393.  
  14394.  
  14395. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229612&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 755px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/NINTCHDBPICT000832822462.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=745&quot; alt=&quot;Brandon Williams of Manchester United applauding.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229612&quot; width=&quot;745&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Kenny Ramsay&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Williams was released by his boyhood club in July[/caption]
  14396.  
  14397.  
  14398.  
  14399. &lt;p&gt;Williams, who came through the ranks at Man Utd&amp;#8217;s academy, had been earmarked as a player for the future at Old Trafford after being handed a debut by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ole-gunnar-solskjaer/&quot;&gt;Ole Gunnar Solskjaer&lt;/a&gt; in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  14400.  
  14401.  
  14402.  
  14403. &lt;p&gt;While he also spent time on loan with both Norwich and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225846/ipswich-town/&quot;&gt;Ipswich Town&lt;/a&gt; in recent seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  14404.  
  14405.  
  14406.  
  14407. &lt;p&gt;But after a run of poor form, battles with injuries and issues off the pitch, Williams was released by United last July and hasn&amp;#8217;t played a competitive match since December 9, 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  14408.  
  14409.  
  14410.  
  14411. &lt;p&gt;Last month &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33858214/man-utd-star-balloon-crash/&quot;&gt;Williams pleaded guilty to dangerous driving&lt;/a&gt; and driving without third party insurance following a high-speed crash.&lt;/p&gt;
  14412.  
  14413.  
  14414.  
  14415. &lt;p&gt;Chester Crown Court heard Williams &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26870150/brandon-williams-laughing-gas-claims-car-crash/&quot;&gt;reached speeds of 99mph with a balloon in his mouth&lt;/a&gt; before being involved in the 74mph crash.&lt;/p&gt;
  14416.  
  14417.  
  14418.  
  14419. &lt;p&gt;He is set to be sentenced on May 9.&lt;/p&gt;
  14420.  
  14421.  
  14422.  
  14423. &lt;p&gt;Now Williams has opened up on the &amp;#8220;dark&amp;#8221; times without &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; since his release from Man Utd.&lt;/p&gt;
  14424.  
  14425.  
  14426.  
  14427. &lt;p&gt;He told Ben Foster&amp;#8217;s Fozcast podcast: &amp;#8220;I was literally just staying in bed, he [unknown] used to turn up at like 9 o&amp;#8217;clock or something at my bedside.&lt;/p&gt;
  14428.  
  14429.  
  14430.  
  14431. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229723&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/brandon-williams-manchester-united-action-821579641.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Brandon Williams of Manchester United in training.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229723&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Williams pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without third party insurance following a high-speed crash last month[/caption]

  14437.  
  14438.  
  14439. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Trying to do something like &amp;#8216;let&amp;#8217;s go on a walk, let&amp;#8217;s go for a coffee&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14440.  
  14441.  
  14442.  
  14443. &lt;p&gt;Asked how bad it got, he replied: &amp;#8220;Yeah, it&amp;#8217;s dark.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14466.  
  14467. &lt;p&gt;And now the left-back has said even watching football hurts him these days, as he dreams of a return to the pitch in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;
  14468.  
  14469.  
  14470.  
  14471. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;It hurts me watching football now because I just want to be there, I just want to play.&lt;/p&gt;
  14472.  
  14473.  
  14474.  
  14475. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I miss being in a team, I miss being on the coach, I just think it&amp;#8217;s that thing where it gets too much for somebody sometimes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14476.  
  14477.  
  14478.  
  14479. &lt;p&gt;Williams, who played for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; at U20 and U21 level, has suggested that his break from the game could be what he needed.&lt;/p&gt;
  14480.  
  14481.  
  14482.  
  14483. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;Maybe I needed that break, just take everything in to reset.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14484.  
  14485.  
  14486.  
  14487. &lt;p&gt;The defender had reportedly been eyed to join up with the England first team following his breakout season with Man Utd in the 2019/20 campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
  14488.  
  14489.  
  14490.

  14516. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THIS is the gruelling moment a stab victim crawls desperately into a shop &amp;#8211; with a knife still lodged in his back.&lt;/p&gt;
  14517.  
  14518.  
  14519.  
  14520. &lt;p&gt;The horrifying incident took place on the Canary Islands and followed a heated argument between the victim and another man, according to cops.&lt;/p&gt;
  14521.  
  14522.  
  14523.  
  14524. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229631&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/stabbed-man-crawls-floor-blade-984269298.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A stabbed man crawls on the floor.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229631&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Jam Press&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;This is the shocking moment a man drags himself into a shop with a knife sticking out of his back[/caption]
  14525.  
  14526.  
  14527.  
  14528. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229632&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/stabbed-man-crawls-floor-blade-984269329.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;A stabbed man crawling on the ground.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229632&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Jam Press&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The 64-year-old Polish national survived the attack[/caption]
  14529.  
  14530.  
  14531.  
  14532. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229633&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 418px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/stabbed-man-crawls-floor-blade-984269611.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=408&quot; alt=&quot;A man crawls on the floor with a knife in his back.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229633&quot; width=&quot;408&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Jam Press&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The victim knew his attacker personally, according to cops[/caption]
  14533.  
  14534.  
  14535.  
  14536. &lt;p&gt;Shocking footage showed the 64-year-old Polish national dragging himself on the floor after putting down his rucksack on March 30.&lt;/p&gt;
  14537.  
  14538.  
  14539.  
  14540. &lt;p&gt;A metal knife can be seen protruding from between his shoulder blades as he eventually lies face-down on the floor.&lt;/p&gt;
  14541.  
  14542.  
  14543.  
  14544. &lt;p&gt;Horrified onlookers step back when they realise the disturbing extent of his injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  14545.  
  14546.  
  14547.  
  14548. &lt;p&gt;The victim appears to be completely defeated as he rests his head on the floor.&lt;/p&gt;
  14549.  
  14550.  
  14551.  
  14552. &lt;p&gt;The Polish man fortunately survived the grim ordeal.&lt;/p&gt;
  14553.  
  14554.  
  14555.  
  14556. &lt;p&gt;Cops believe the victim and his attacker knew each other from the soup kitchen they attended regularly.&lt;/p&gt;
  14557.  
  14558.  
  14559.  
  14560. &lt;p&gt;They suspect an argument broke out between the two while they were on their way to pick up food.&lt;/p&gt;
  14561.  
  14562.  
  14563.  
  14564. &lt;p&gt;After &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-suspect/&quot;&gt;the suspect&lt;/a&gt; stabbed the victim, he fled the scene and left him to seek help at a nearby shop, where the unsettling footage was caught. &lt;/p&gt;
  14565.  
  14566.  
  14567.  
  14568. &lt;p&gt;Emergency services arrived and gave the man medical aid on the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
  14569.  
  14570.  
  14571.  
  14572. &lt;p&gt;He was taken to a local hospital in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/4610953/las-palmas/&quot;&gt;Las Palmas&lt;/a&gt;, Gran Canaria, shortly after and underwent surgery. &lt;/p&gt;
  14573.  
  14574.  
  14575.  
  14576. &lt;p&gt;About two hours after the attack, &lt;span id=&quot;a03a677f-3bbd-4aa0-9080-a2b289df03f6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the suspect&lt;/span&gt; turned himself in at a local &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; station and confessed to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14577.  
  14578.  
  14579.  
  14580. &lt;p&gt;The 44-year-old carried out the brutal attack at around 10am before fleeing and eventually handing himself in to cops.&lt;/p&gt;
  14581.  
  14582.  
  14583.  
  14584. &lt;p&gt;In 2022, a Brit tourist was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/29525257/brit-tourist-stabbed-in-stomach-tenerife/&quot;&gt;brutally stabbed&lt;/a&gt; in the stomach in Tenerife in a holiday resort.&lt;/p&gt;
  14585.  
  14586.  
  14587.  
  14588. &lt;p&gt;The 22-year-old was knifed in the south of the island and admitted to an intensive care unit after the horrific attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  14589.  
  14590.  
  14591.  
  14592. &lt;p&gt;And in 2019, diners were left horrified at a Brit-favourite restaurant in Lanzarote when an angry &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/4557535/las-vegas-restaurant-lanzarote-murder/&quot;&gt;chef fatally stabbed the owner&lt;/a&gt; with a kitchen knife.&lt;/p&gt;
  14593.  
  14594.  
  14595.  
  14596. &lt;p&gt;The killing occurred at the popular &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/las-vegas/&quot;&gt;Las Vegas&lt;/a&gt; restaurant in Puerto del Carmen. &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  14612. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THIS is the chilling CCTV showing the last moments before student Sara Campanella was stabbed to death in broad daylight by her twisted stalker.&lt;/p&gt;
  14613.  
  14614.  
  14615.  
  14616. &lt;p&gt;Suspect Stefano Argentino, 27, had allegedly followed the 22-year-old trainee nurse from the hospital she interned on Monday in Messina, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14629.  
  14630.  
  14631.  
  14632. &lt;p&gt;Witnesses said that Argentino walked up to Sara and heinously stabbed her in broad daylight.&lt;/p&gt;
  14633.  
  14634.  
  14635.  
  14636. &lt;p&gt;They added to local media that she attempted to get away and screamed before collapsing: &amp;#8220;Stop it, let me go, stop it&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14637.  
  14638.  
  14639.  
  14640. &lt;p&gt;A witness later told the police: “I was standing at the bus stop when I suddenly heard loud screams.&lt;/p&gt;
  14641.  
  14642.  
  14643.  
  14644. &lt;p&gt;“At first, I couldn’t tell where they were coming from or what was being said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14645.  
  14646.  
  14647.  
  14648. &lt;p&gt;“Then, I saw a girl I’d never seen before running along the pavement across from me.&lt;/p&gt;
  14649.  
  14650.  
  14651.  
  14652. &lt;p&gt;“She was fleeing in a panic, bent over, crying, and clearly in distress.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14653.  
  14654.  
  14655.  
  14656. &lt;p&gt;The same witness reported seeing a young man approach the victim “holding a bladed weapon”.&lt;/p&gt;
  14657.  
  14658.  
  14659.  
  14660. &lt;p&gt;After being heinously attacked, Sara dropped to the ground in a &lt;span id=&quot;315ac1f7-925a-4943-9fc0-5f0985b879ef&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pool&lt;/span&gt; of blood with a deep cut to her neck.&lt;/p&gt;
  14661.  
  14662.  
  14663.  
  14664. &lt;p&gt;Dozens of people were on the street at the time, and one even tried to chase her attacker as he ran away.&lt;/p&gt;
  14665.  
  14666.  
  14667.  
  14668. &lt;p&gt;Emergency responders arrived at the scene and desperately gave Sara first aid &amp;#8211; but she tragically died soon after arriving at the same hospital she had left a short while earlier.&lt;/p&gt;

  14692. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; found &lt;span id=&quot;0a9ad31a-0fd4-4e47-ab7a-2902f24b0352&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the suspect&lt;/span&gt;, Argentino, hiding in a B&amp;amp;B linked to his mother in Noto a mere few hours after the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14693.  
  14694.  
  14695.  
  14696. &lt;p&gt;Argentino knew Sara from university and had allegedly been pestering her for two years &amp;#8220;insistently and repeatedly,&amp;#8221; according to the Messina prosecutor Antonio D&amp;#8217;Amato.&lt;/p&gt;
  14697.  
  14698.  
  14699.  
  14700. &lt;p&gt;He would constantly ask her out and refused to accept that she was not interested in him.&lt;/p&gt;
  14701.  
  14702.  
  14703.  
  14704. &lt;p&gt;And one of Sara&amp;#8217;s friends even had to intervene when Argentino repeatedly complained that she no longer smiled at him, D&amp;#8217;Amato added.&lt;/p&gt;
  14705.  
  14706.  
  14707.  
  14708. &lt;p&gt;Despite the persistent harassment, Sara had never reported him because she never thought it would reach this point, or that his behaviour was particularly &amp;#8220;threatening or pathological&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14709.  
  14710.  
  14711.  
  14712. &lt;p&gt;Argentino&amp;#8217;s lawyer, Raffaele Leone, revealed to Italian media on Wednesday that his client had admitted the charges against him &amp;#8211; without explaining why he had done so.&lt;/p&gt;
  14713.  
  14714.  
  14715.  
  14716. &lt;p&gt;According to Ansa &lt;span id=&quot;f3fca199-c9fd-469e-877b-0c1ecc1719ad&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; agency, he said: &amp;#8220;I can&amp;#8217;t say if he&amp;#8217;s remorseful, he&amp;#8217;s quite closed up.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14717.  
  14718.  
  14719.  
  14720. &lt;p&gt;Before being killed, Sara had sent one of her friends a voice note saying: “The creep is following me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14721.  
  14722.  
  14723.  
  14724. &lt;p&gt;And chillingly, witnesses told how the last words she yelled over and over were: “Stop, leave me alone!”&lt;/p&gt;
  14725.  
  14726.  
  14727.  
  14728. &lt;p&gt;Sara’s family is from Misilmeri, but she had been living in Messina for two years for her studies.&lt;/p&gt;
  14729.  
  14730.  
  14731.  
  14732. &lt;p&gt;Her uncle told local media: “She was full of dreams and had a zest for life.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14733.  
  14734.  
  14735.  
  14736. &lt;p&gt;Antonino Fricano, who had been &lt;span id=&quot;b90dd13f-6464-4974-b156-d3077ee8738d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; Sara for a few months, wrote on social media: “Goodbye, my love.&lt;/p&gt;
  14737.  
  14738.  
  14739.  
  14740. &lt;p&gt;“This should never have happened &amp;#8211; not to us. A piece of my heart has been taken away.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14741.  
  14742.

  14771. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LOVE Island star Catherine Agbaje has confirmed she has split from her All Stars partner Omar Nyame.&lt;/p&gt;
  14772.  
  14773.  
  14774.  
  14775. &lt;p&gt;The couple met on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv2/&quot;&gt;ITV2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;75d10081-7fc2-40c7-a962-306d501439db&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; show and managed to reach the final of the contest but more than a month on they have officially called it quits.&lt;/p&gt;
  14776.  
  14777.  
  14778.  
  14779. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229718&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 607px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/catherine-omar-984205577.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=597&quot; alt=&quot;Catherine and Omar.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229718&quot; width=&quot;597&quot; height=&quot;761&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Catherine Agbaje has confirmed her split from Omar Nyame[/caption]

  14784.  
  14785.  
  14786.  
  14787. &lt;p&gt;The Sun &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34191646/love-island-couple-split-catherine-agbaje-omar-nyame/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;were the first to reveal they had called time on their romance&lt;/a&gt; but Catherine has now responded to the reports on social media for the first time to admit they are no longer an item.&lt;/p&gt;
  14788.  
  14789.  
  14790.  
  14791. &lt;p&gt;TV beauty Catherine took to her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/snapchat/&quot;&gt;Snapchat&lt;/a&gt; to address a comment from a follower who was speculating about the status of her relationship with villa hunk Omar.&lt;/p&gt;
  14792.  
  14793.  
  14794.  
  14795. &lt;p&gt;The fan in question asked: &amp;#8220;Are you and Omar still dating? You don&amp;#8217;t want to answer if you don&amp;#8217;t want to?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14796.  
  14797.  
  14798.  
  14799. &lt;p&gt;However, Catherine seemed more than happy to oblige as she replied with a very simple: &amp;#8220;No xx.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14800.  
  14801.  
  14802.  
  14803. &lt;p&gt;She quickly followed it up with a cryptic &lt;span id=&quot;df9b8718-bd00-410e-aa8d-e06957d47e9b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/span&gt; video which seemed to hint not all was well in her split with Omar.&lt;/p&gt;
  14804.  
  14805.  
  14806.  
  14807. &lt;p&gt;In a video of her lip-syncing the words &amp;#8220;what the hell&amp;#8221;, Catherine added the caption: &amp;#8220;When you finally put everything together.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14808.  
  14809.  
  14810.  
  14811. &lt;p&gt;She then also added: &amp;#8220;Cause wth is really going through my mind?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14812.  
  14813.  
  14814.  
  14815. &lt;p&gt;24-year-old Catherine and Omar, 26, are understood to not have been romantically involved for some time. &lt;/p&gt;
  14816.  
  14817.  
  14818.  
  14819. &lt;p&gt;The former couple are still following each other on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, but fans noticed they hadn&amp;#8217;t been posting together.&lt;/p&gt;
  14820.  
  14821.  
  14822.  
  14823. &lt;p&gt;Omar had even stopped &amp;#8216;liking&amp;#8217; Catherine&amp;#8217;s most recent snaps.&lt;/p&gt;

  14872. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PRESIDENT Donald Trump has declared at least a 10% tax on all goods coming into the US in sweeping reciprocal tariffs.&lt;/p&gt;
  14873.  
  14874.  
  14875.  
  14876. &lt;p&gt;Trump announced the baseline tariff for foreign countries to help &amp;#8220;rebuild our economy&amp;#8221; in a trade policy blitz he called Liberation Day at the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  14877.  
  14878.  
  14879.  
  14880. &lt;p&gt;The new rates &amp;#8220;prevent cheating&amp;#8221; by raising what the US charges on imports to match the fees other countries put on American goods, Trump said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14881.  
  14882.  
  14883.  
  14884. &lt;p&gt;“It’s our declaration of economic independence,” Trump said while announcing the new measures.&lt;/p&gt;
  14885.  
  14886.  
  14887.  
  14888. &lt;p&gt;He said the US will use the money generated from tariffs to “reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14889.  
  14890.  
  14891.  
  14892. &lt;p&gt;The fresh rates are kicking off with new auto tariffs slapping a 25% tax on all foreign-made automobiles starting Thursday at midnight. &lt;/p&gt;
  14893.  
  14894.  
  14895.

  14914. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE cost of household bills has jumped this month as price rises hit across the board.&lt;/p&gt;
  14915.  
  14916.  
  14917.  
  14918. &lt;p&gt;However, a few &lt;span id=&quot;ef3a6d7b-5ed6-40fa-8eab-1b070414fc44&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;steps&lt;/span&gt; can help curb the cost of running essential appliances.&lt;/p&gt;
  14919.  
  14920.

  14922. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34205865&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woman-emptying-dishwashing-machine-removing-984008695.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Woman unloading a dishwasher.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34205865&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Here are our cash-saving apps to help you budget and keep track of your finances[/caption]
  14923.  
  14924.  
  14925.  
  14926. &lt;p&gt;Follow these tips to save on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy/&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt; and water &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bills/&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/a&gt; . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  14927.  
  14928.  
  14929.  
  14930. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STAND-OFF&lt;/strong&gt;: Laptops, TVs and games consoles account for around six per cent of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy-bills/&quot;&gt;energy bills&lt;/a&gt;, according to the Energy Saving Trust.&lt;/p&gt;
  14931.  
  14932.  
  14933.  
  14934. &lt;p&gt;Simply switching devices off standby can save around £45 each year.&lt;/p&gt;
  14935.  
  14936.  
  14937.  
  14938. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PUSH THE BUTTON&lt;/strong&gt;: Washing machines, dishwashers and tumble driers are typically the most energy-hungry appliances. &lt;/p&gt;
  14939.  
  14940.  
  14941.  
  14942. &lt;p&gt;Heading into &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; you can dry more clothes outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  14943.  
  14944.  
  14945.  
  14946. &lt;p&gt;On dishwasher and washing machines use the eco setting (normally at 30C), using less energy and water.&lt;/p&gt;
  14947.  
  14948.  
  14949.  
  14950. &lt;p&gt;Helind Morais, of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lg-electronics/&quot;&gt;LG Electronics&lt;/a&gt;, said: “What some people don’t realise is that most items can be washed on an eco-cycle setting.&lt;/p&gt;
  14951.  
  14952.  
  14953.  
  14954. &lt;p&gt;“Hot washes can be saved for items such as bedding, towels and sportswear, as these are most likely to host more &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bacteria/&quot;&gt;bacteria&lt;/a&gt;. ”&lt;/p&gt;
  14955.  
  14956.  
  14957.  
  14958. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HAVE YOUR FILL&lt;/strong&gt;: Make sure that you wait to run both the dishwasher and washing machine with full loads rather than turning them on half full.&lt;/p&gt;
  14959.  
  14960.  
  14961.  
  14962. &lt;p&gt;This should help cut down on the amount of cycles you are doing and therefore curb bills.&lt;/p&gt;

  14987.  
  14988.  
  14989.  
  14990. &lt;p&gt;In a washing machine make sure there is space between the top of the load and the top of the drum — you should be able to fit a hand between.&lt;/p&gt;
  14991.  
  14992.  
  14993.  
  14994. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOOD PREP&lt;/strong&gt;: Try to avoid overfilling your kettle, so you only use the water — and energy to heat it — you need. &lt;/p&gt;
  14995.  
  14996.  
  14997.  
  14998. &lt;p&gt;An easy way to do this is to fill your cup with water and tip into the kettle before boiling.&lt;/p&gt;
  14999.  
  15000.  
  15001.  
  15002. &lt;p&gt;Microwaves are more efficient than ovens for heating food up, while air fryers use less energy to cook meals.&lt;/p&gt;

  15164. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LIAM LAWSON says his brutal Red Bull axing after just two races came as a total shock.&lt;/p&gt;
  15165.  
  15166.  
  15167.  
  15168. &lt;p&gt;The Kiwi driver, 23, was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34097429/red-bull-christian-horner-liam-lawson-yuki-tsunoda-f1/&quot;&gt;sacked by the team&lt;/a&gt; after a woeful start to the season which saw him knocked out at the first stage of all three qualifying sessions, failing to pick up a single point.&lt;/p&gt;
  15169.  
  15170.  
  15171.  
  15172. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229587&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/liam-lawson-new-zealand-visa-983854897.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Liam Lawson of the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229587&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Liam Lawson has been demoted to Racing Bulls[/caption]
  15173.  
  15174.  
  15175.  
  15176. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229595&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/red-bull-driver-yuki-tsunoda-984195160.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Yuki Tsunoda, Red Bull Racing driver, at a press conference.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229595&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Yuki Tsunoda has taken Liam Lawson&amp;#8217;s Red Bull seat[/caption]
  15177.  
  15178.  
  15179.  
  15180. &lt;p&gt;Lawson returned to Red Bull&amp;#8217;s sister team Racing Bulls in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34086294/red-bull-liam-lawson-yuki-tsunoda-replacement-f1-news/&quot;&gt;swap with 24-year-old Yuki Tsunoda&lt;/a&gt; ahead of this weekend&amp;#8217;s Japanese GP.&lt;/p&gt;
  15181.  
  15182.  
  15183.  
  15184. &lt;p&gt;He told Sky Sports: &amp;#8220;It was definitely a shock, honestly. It&amp;#8217;s not something that I saw coming,&lt;/p&gt;
  15185.  
  15186.  
  15187.  
  15188. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The discussions we were having weren&amp;#8217;t really leaning in this direction, so it was definitely not something that I expected.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15189.  
  15190.  
  15191.  
  15192. &lt;p&gt;Red Bull chose to promote Lawson from their junior squad Racing Bulls after just 11 Grand Prix appearances in two short spells across 2023 and 2024, despite Tsunoda having more experience.&lt;/p&gt;
  15193.  
  15194.  
  15195.  
  15196. &lt;p&gt;Lawson added: &amp;#8220;Obviously, I would have loved more time.&lt;/p&gt;
  15197.  
  15198.  
  15199.  
  15200. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We had a rocky testing. We had a rocky first weekend in Melbourne with practice. And then obviously China was a sprint.&lt;/p&gt;
  15201.  
  15202.  
  15203.  
  15204. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But obviously, it&amp;#8217;s not my decision, so I&amp;#8217;m here to make the most of this one.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15205.  
  15206.  
  15207.  
  15208. &lt;p&gt;The team’s motorsport adviser Helmut Marko has since come out and said they “made a mistake” signing Lawson over Tsunoda.&lt;/p&gt;
  15209.

  15217.  
  15218.  
  15219.  
  15220. &lt;p&gt;Ahead of his Red Bull debut in Japan this weekend, Tsunoda has also opened up on the switch.&lt;/p&gt;
  15221.  
  15222.  
  15223.  
  15224. &lt;p&gt;He admitted to the BBC: &amp;#8220;We didn&amp;#8217;t talk yet (Tsunoda and Lawson). I&amp;#8217;m sure we&amp;#8217;re going to be around anyway in Tokyo with the events so let&amp;#8217;s see how it goes.&lt;/p&gt;

  15252. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think I&amp;#8217;ve felt it a little bit in the first half of the season this year, so probably we don&amp;#8217;t have the friendship we used to have from when we were fighting in junior categories, but I think that&amp;#8217;s natural, fighting for the seat and everything.&lt;/p&gt;
  15253.  
  15254.  
  15255.  
  15256. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know he is a funny guy and I know how to make our relationship good but let&amp;#8217;s see how it goes, it&amp;#8217;s not easy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15257.  
  15258.  
  15259.  
  15260. &lt;p&gt;On how the move came about following the Chinese Grand Prix, Tsunoda added: &amp;#8220;First call I got was from Christian (Horner), I heard expectations from him and also what kind of team dynamics they&amp;#8217;re having. He said welcome to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/red-bull-racing/&quot;&gt;Red Bull Racing&lt;/a&gt; and he was excited.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15261.  
  15262.  
  15263.  
  15264. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Be as close as possible to Max. Red Bull Racing are focused on Max scoring a Drivers&amp;#8217; Championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  15265.  
  15266.  
  15267.  
  15268. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He proved that he can be a world champion even though Red Bull is struggling.&lt;/p&gt;
  15269.  
  15270.  
  15271.  
  15272. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He also promised me in some situations that if I&amp;#8217;m able to be in front of Max that he wouldn&amp;#8217;t necessarily ask me to swap positions and make Max win.&lt;/p&gt;
  15273.  
  15274.  
  15275.  
  15276. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m sure it wouldn&amp;#8217;t be easy anyway to beat Max straight away. I have to get used to the car. I&amp;#8217;m very excited.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15277.

  15307. &lt;p&gt;A POPULAR amusement park has mysteriously shut after just two months.&lt;/p&gt;
  15308.  
  15309.  
  15310.  
  15311. &lt;p&gt;The shocking announcement blamed &amp;#8220;unforeseen circumstances&amp;#8221; for the closure.&lt;/p&gt;

  15324.  
  15325.  
  15326.  
  15327. &lt;p&gt;Dingles &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/theme-parks/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fun Park&lt;/a&gt; opened just off the A30 near Lifton in February this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15328.  
  15329.  
  15330.  
  15331. &lt;p&gt;But the family-friendly park will now permanently close, with its Pop Fest tribute festival also being cancelled.&lt;/p&gt;
  15332.  
  15333.  
  15334.  
  15335. &lt;p&gt;Dingles was an exciting new addition for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/devon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Devon &lt;/a&gt;when the park took over from Dingles Fairground Museum.&lt;/p&gt;
  15336.  
  15337.  
  15338.  
  15339. &lt;p&gt;Ticket-holders will receive full refunds for what was expected to be a joyous event. &lt;/p&gt;
  15340.  
  15341.  
  15342.  
  15343. &lt;p&gt;Known for its free entry,&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34124231/theme-park-water-ride/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; the park&lt;/a&gt; had plans to expand its token-based rides. &lt;/p&gt;
  15344.  
  15345.  
  15346.  
  15347. &lt;p&gt;It is thought soft play areas were expected to be introduced alongside shows, festivals and tribute acts. &lt;/p&gt;
  15348.  
  15349.  
  15350.  
  15351. &lt;p&gt;Locals have been left in the dark with one commenting on social media: &amp;#8220;Wow, can&amp;#8217;t believe this is closed already.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  15352.  
  15353.  
  15354.  
  15355. &lt;p&gt;Another put: &amp;#8220;I had the best time there, the twister was great.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  15356.

  15361.  
  15362.  
  15363. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Very interesting, informative and fun rides to go on!&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

  15399. &lt;p&gt;Park manager Tom Ellis, an experienced showman who has helped run two amusement parks, previously told &lt;a aria-label=&quot;DevonLive (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/devon-fun-park-shuts-suddenly-10074188&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;DevonLive&lt;/a&gt;: “It&amp;#8217;s good to bring something back to the area after the loss of Flambards and Dairyland Farm Park in Cornwall”.&lt;/p&gt;
  15400.  
  15401.  
  15402.  
  15403. &lt;p&gt;The statement released stated: &amp;#8220;Due to unforeseen circumstances, Dingles &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/33399996/londons-urban-theme-park-arcades-go-karting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fun Park&lt;/a&gt; is now closed, the Pop Fest tribute festival will also be cancelled due to the park closure.&lt;/p&gt;

  15419. &lt;p&gt;It comes after the Fairground Museum announced last November that it was set to close for good.&lt;/p&gt;
  15420.  
  15421.  
  15422.  
  15423. &lt;p&gt;After serving the community for more than 20 years, Dingles was &amp;#8220;gutted&amp;#8221; to be closing. &lt;/p&gt;
  15424.  
  15425.

  15443. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A FOOTBALL team has plumbed new depths &amp;#8211; after a SINKHOLE appeared in their pitch during a game.&lt;/p&gt;
  15444.  
  15445.  
  15446.  
  15447. &lt;p&gt;A player even fell in before French side US Vicquoise&amp;#8217;s star striker filled it with a load of sand to enable the match to continue.&lt;/p&gt;
  15448.

  15461.

  15463. &lt;p&gt;But visiting team Ingrandes went on to win 3-2 despite one of their players partially disappearing.&lt;/p&gt;

  15468.  
  15469.  
  15470.  
  15471. &lt;p&gt;But Vicquoise striker Sebastien Collet, a builder by trade, drove a digger-load of sand on to the pitch for his team-mates to repair the damage.&lt;/p&gt;
  15472.  
  15473.  
  15474.  
  15475. &lt;p&gt;An &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/asifoot/posts/1155727359676765?ref=embed_post&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ingrandes spokesman said&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Our team had an unusual experience on Sunday. Our striker fell in the penalty area with no one near him.&lt;/p&gt;

  15477.  
  15478.  
  15479. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We all laughed, but he said there was a hole in the pitch.  We went on to the field and found it.&lt;/p&gt;

  15483. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thankfully at Vicq there are no problems, just solutions.&amp;nbsp;Their number 10 is a saviour as well as a goalscorer and women&amp;#8217;s team coach.&lt;/p&gt;

  15491. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We thank US Vicquoise for this great moment of fun, and for showing the sort of spirit we&amp;#8217;d love to see every weekend.&lt;/p&gt;

  15544. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHELSEA starlet Donnell McNeilly is yet to sign a new contract amid worries over his lack of first-team opportunities.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15545.  
  15546.  
  15547.  
  15548. &lt;p&gt;The talented striker, 19, has been a beacon of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea’s&lt;/a&gt; youth sides over the past several seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  15549.  
  15550.  
  15551.  
  15552. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_34229470&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/8f12c63e-efa2-4ae3-a975-f1f8c24bc9fc.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Donnell McNeilly of Chelsea U21 in a soccer match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-34229470&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;715&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Chelsea starlet Donnell McNeilly is out of contract this summer after scoring twice against the seniors&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  15553.  
  15554.  
  15555.  
  15556. &lt;p&gt;Last term saw McNeilly score 30 goals in all competitions.&lt;/p&gt;
  15557.  
  15558.  
  15559.  
  15560. &lt;p&gt;And just a week ago, the ace put &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/enzo-maresca/&quot;&gt;Enzo Maresca’s&lt;/a&gt; seniors to the sword with two strikes in a behind-closed-doors friendly.&lt;/p&gt;
  15561.  
  15562.  
  15563.  
  15564. &lt;p&gt;McNeilly’s brace helped Chelsea’s kids &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34120310/chelsea-players-day-off-cancelled-enzo-maresca-u21s-defeat/&quot;&gt;beat their mega-million counterparts 3-0&lt;/a&gt;, leading to Maresca cancelling a day off in fury.&lt;/p&gt;
  15565.  
  15566.  
  15567.  
  15568. &lt;p&gt;However, the hitman is still yet to make his senior debut for the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  15569.  
  15570.  
  15571.  
  15572. &lt;p&gt;McNeilly has seen no less than eight of his U21 pals make matchday squads under Maresca this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  15573.  
  15574.  
  15575.  
  15576. &lt;p&gt;And the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14515507/CHELSEA-CONFIDENTIAL-Inside-contract-stand-off.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mail&lt;/a&gt; claims he is now growing frustrated by the lack of opportunities, especially considering Chelsea’s striker crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
  15577.  
  15578.  
  15579.  
  15580. &lt;p&gt;Both Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu are long-term casualties, while the likes of Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer have gone off the boil.&lt;/p&gt;
  15581.  
  15582.  
  15583.  
  15584. &lt;p&gt;The bad news for Chelsea is that McNeilly’s contract, which he penned in 2022, expires this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15585.  
  15586.  
  15587.  
  15588. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32916258/best-free-bets-sign-up-offers-uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15589.  
  15590.  
  15591.  
  15592. &lt;p&gt;A new deal is said to be on the table.&lt;/p&gt;
  15593.  
  15594.  
  15595.  
  15596. &lt;p&gt;But McNeilly is yet to sign it, potentially signalling his intent to quit Stamford Bridge on a free transfer.&lt;/p&gt;

  15620. &lt;p&gt;And unless he is given assurances of a pathway to the first team, it’s believed he could part ways with Chelsea this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15621.  
  15622.  
  15623.  
  15624. &lt;p&gt;McNeilly isn&amp;#8217;t the only promising youngster out of contract shortly.&lt;/p&gt;
  15625.  
  15626.  
  15627.

  15629.  
  15630.  
  15631.  
  15632. &lt;p&gt;He has made multiple matchday squads as a sub but is yet to make his senior debut.&lt;/p&gt;
  15633.  
  15634.  
  15635.  
  15636. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea will have a plethora of goalies next season when loanees Mike Penders, Djordje Petrovic and Kepa Arrizabalaga join Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen.&lt;/p&gt;
  15637.  
  15638.  
  15639.  
  15640. &lt;p&gt;And there may not be any room for Bergstrom at the club.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
