The recycled content NEWSPAPERS of UK newspapers in SUPPORT 2009 was 76.2% RECYCLING A TOWER block housing media organisations such as Associated Press and Al Jazeera in Gaza City was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike yesterday. The move was claimed to be in an attempt to silence reporting amid the fighting with Palestinian militant group Hamas. Staff had been ordered to evacuate the building. Since Monday, Hamas has fired hundreds of rockets into Israel, whose military responded by barraging the Gaza Strip with tank fire and airstrikes. At least 126 people have been killed in Gaza, including 31 children. In Israel, seven have been killed including a six-yearold boy. Meanwhile, hundreds of people gathered in central London to march in soli-darity with the people of Palestine amid the ongoing conflict with Israel. Organisers demanded “immediate action” from the UK Government to help end “brutal” violence against the Palestinians. £200m for homeless THE Government has pledged an extra £203million in a bid to get homeless people off the streets. It will help cover the cost of shelters and specialist mental health or addiction services in England. Councils, charities and other local groups will be able to use the money to fund up to 14,500 beds and 2,700 support staff. But Jon Sparkes, the chief executive of charity Crisis, said the cash will “only scratch the surface”. He added that people need to be supported into permanent and safe homes to end rough sleeping for good.

The ring king splashed out £160,000 on a Porsche he keeps at his luxury bolthole in dry Dubai. And he has had it wrapped in a coating that repels water. The former world champ shared a video of a garage worker demonstrating how water beads off it. Astonished Khan said in an Instagram video: “Wow, it just pours right off.” But it could be money down the drain as Dubai’s annual rainfall is just 4in a year. His home town of Bolton, Lancs, gets 10 times as much. The boxer-turned-reality TV star has been happy to show purchases on Instagram in recent months. Khan, who has not boxed since July 2019, has an impressive collection of cars including a £271,000 Lamborghini Aventador, a £233,000 RollsRoyce Phantom and a £65,000 Range Rover. Last year, it was reported he was seeking to add a RollsRoyce Cullinan SUV to his collection – with a starting price of £264,000. Khan recently starred in BBC reality TV show Meet The Khans: Big In Bolton. It followed the boxer’s home life with wife Faryal Makhdoom and their three children.

4 SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 CORONA CRISIS ■ CUDDLE UP: Starsky & Hutch actor Antonio hugs in New York The end for High St giant DEBENHAMS has closed its doors for the final time in its 243-year history. The department store shut its final 28 shops across the UK, including Newcastle, above, for good last night after the company collapsed. The retailer has suffered slumping sales in recent years. However, the enforced closure of sites during lockdown was the final straw, resulting in the company falling into administration within weeks of the virus hitting the UK. The company then started its liquidation process at the start of this year after failing to secure a rescue sale. Debenhams, which employed more than 20,000 people before the pandemic, sold its brand and website to online giant Boohoo for £55million in January but confirmed that its bricks and mortar business would close for good. Racers’ trial run THOUSANDS of runners did the hard miles for a study into how sports events can be held again. They took part in socially distanced and non-socially distanced races to compare data, with crowds also split along the same lines. The 1,000 runners in each of three 5K events at Kempton Park, Surrey, yesterday will help provide information on Covid transmission levels. Sports minister Nigel Huddleston said it “will feed into decisions and hopefully see things like the great London Marathon return with crowds”. ANIMALS EMBRACE END OF RULE SEE PAGES 18 & 19 HUGGY BEAR: Many of us have been lonely...it’s more about who you hug than how ■ by MIKE PARKER sunday@dailystar.co.uk AS millions of us brace to embrace loved ones again, we found the perfect star to show us hugsactly how to get to grips with each other tomorrow. Veteran Hollywood actor Antonio Fargas is best known to fans round the world as Huggy Bear – his iconic character from the classic 70s telly cop show Starsky & Hutch. Antonio loves the role so much, he’s been known to leave tourists and locals feeling hugstatic with cuddles, clinches, clasps and canoodles in New York’s Times Square. Few can resist the charms of the flamboyantly dressed streetwise informant who became as popular as main stars David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser in the series. Even at 74 he is still the world’s unofficial hugster-in-chief, as you can see from our pictures. Today he sends out a hug-hard-but-stay-safe message to the whole country via his manager and friend John Castonia. John told the Daily Star Sunday: “He loves Britain and is grateful to have so many fans there. “It’s so sad that Covid has robbed so many people of that human touch that makes all the difference in life. So many people have been lonely that it’s not so much about how you hug as who you hug. “Antonio wouldn’t want anyone to break their ‘bubbles’ or ignore local restrictions. But where it’s deemed OK to have that first hug in a long time, he’s happy people will be reconnecting at last.” DAILY STAR SUNDAY SAYS – PAGE 6 ...BUT WHEN YOU CAN, EMBRACE HUGGY’S TOP TECHNIQUES* The full bear hug ARMS outstretched, then fully wrapped around the upper torso in a tight embrace, this is the one that says: “I’ve missed you and I never want to let you go again.” The bear-ly there This is the “lighter” version where you are barely touching or even “air-hugging” to completely minimise contact.

SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 CORONA CRISIS ■ YOUR LANDLORD NEEDS YOU: Pubs expect a stampede Easing of lockdown ‘a worry’ MINISTERS are pushing on with easing Covid restrictions tomorrow, despite concerns over the Indian variant. Scientists warned it could be 50% more transmissible than the Kent variety. Health minister Edward Argar, top, said yesterday the Government was acting “coolly” and “calmly” in forging ahead with step three of ending lockdown. The British Medical Association said it is a “real worry” while many still await vaccination. Prof Anthony Harnden of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation said our jabs are “almost certainly less effective” against the variant. Indian variant cases rose from 520 to 1,313 this week in the UK. Sir Mark Walport, of Government scientific advisors Sage, said the race between the virus and the vaccination “has just intensified”. The over-50s and clinically vulnerable will have their second jab brought forward. SEVEN more people have died after a Covid-19 infection, taking the total to 127,675 deaths. There were also 2,027 new positive cases, making the total 4,448,851. ■ by ISOBEL DICKINSON isobel.dickinson@dailystar.co.uk THIRSTY punters will drink enough beer to fill Wembley Stadium this summer, and pubs are ready for a stampede when they reopen indoors tomorrow. Drinkers will shrug off showers to stay warm inside and down 50million pints a week in bars. Adding in home boozing, Brits will sup the 1,900million pints needed to fill Wembley by the end of September. Tomorrow will see millions of us reunite indoors after weeks shivering in beer gardens. A “grey army” of older customers will also rush to pubs and Do your duty tomorrow.. & support your local pub restaurants after refusing to go earlier because it was too cold to sit outside. Seven million pints are set to be downed tomorrow alone as landlords toast a £200m spending spree. Many bars will allow walk-in customers, including Wetherspoon, which is reopening 860 venues. Nick Mackenzie, chief executive of Greene King, said: “We’re really happy to have people back and it’s an important step towards rebuilding our business.” UKHospitality’s Kate Nicholls said reopening indoors is “a landmark”. Restaurants, cinemas, theatres and hotels will also reopen, while tourists will head to green-list Portugal as foreign travel restarts. Drinkers in Northern Ireland will have to wait a bit longer to sup inside – restrictions there remain for another week. Portugal opens up PORTUGAL’S tourism minister Rita Marques says “everything is open” to UK tourists. The country will reopen its borders to Brits tomorrow. Ms Marques pledged that “the experience will be great”. 5
6 SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 Palace gets a trunk call Says Grab that moment... IT’S now only a few hours to go before we have official sanction to hug our loved ones. Thanks, Boris. We get the feeling a lot of “illegal” hugging has been going on out there. But it’s good to know we finally have ministerial permission from tomorrow. And who better to give us a quick, fun guide on how to do it than the great Huggy Bear? The Starsky & Hutch legend knows how we’ve missed the human touch. But you don’t have to be a Hollywood superstar to get Huggy. It was one of the cruellest everyday restrictions of the lockdown. The end of the ban is among the most eagerly awaited changes. As ever, there is a health warning. There’s a danger we’ll all go a bit nuts as old freedoms are restored. Expect the cafés and pubs to be packed as we get to drink indoors. It might be sensible to restrict the hugs to close family and friends who have had their jabs. Don’t be afraid to keep your distance from strangers, and wear a mask if you feel at all at risk. The Indian variant is a concern and other versions of the virus are sure to raise their ugly heads. We’ve nearly got the beating of Covid, so why risk it all now? In the meantime, try this: spread your arms wide, approach your loved one, and squeeze! Now doesn’t that feel good? UFOs truth is coming THE claims that UFOs actually exist are growing louder. Today we reveal that a former US Navy pilot has given evidence that he saw them almost daily for two years. This isn’t some swivel-eyed loon from the badlands of Dakota – he’s a highly trained officer serving his country. We have heard similar stories from the likes of Nasa in the past. And let’s not forget Paula from Yorkshire, who told last week how she has been abducted by aliens 52 times. It’s obvious something is going on and someone knows what it is. For now, the truth is not out there. Fan in flap A WILDLIFE fan claims charts that show female birds smaller than their male counterparts are “sexist”. That’s bound to ruffle a few feathers.

SS1ST SLEAZEE PROBE 1 LUXURY TRIP: Johnson Boris hols price row BORIS Johnson’s Caribbean break may have been worth more than double the £15,000 he declared. The PM and fiancée Carrie Symonds flew to Mustique following the Tories’ 2019 election win. But a row erupted over how exactly the trip to the private isle was funded. Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Kathryn Stone reportedly believes the break was worth more than twice the declared amount. She also said the bill was not met by Tory donor David Ross as the Prime Minister has insisted. No10 insists he “transparently declared the benefit in kind”, and that Mr Ross confirmed the declaration is “correct”. Mr Johnson also faces a probe into the refurbishment of his flat. SLEAZEE PROBE NAVY PILOT ‘SAW UFOS EVERY DAY’ (for TWO years!) NAVY fighter pilots had ■ by MIKE PARKER close encounters with sunday@dailystar.co.uk UFOs “almost every day” the release of the first official refor two years. Lieutenant Ryan Graves, above, says they all witnessed hundreds of the strange objects in restricted airspace. The US Navy pilot makes his bombshell revelation tonight in a TV documentary, in which he describes the objects seen between 2015 and 2017 as a threat to US national security. He said: “If these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a massive issue. “But because it looks slightly different, we’re not willing to look the problem in the face. “We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.” He warns of the sightings, over Virginia Beach, Virginia, on the CBS network’s show 60 Minutes. It comes less than a month before 2 ACCUSED: Priti Patel Patel PPE ‘pressure’ PRITI Patel has been accused of breaching the ministerial code by lobbying a minister over access to a £20million PPE deal. Labour has urged the Cabinet Secretary to investigate the Home Secretary over alleged efforts to sway the awarding of a contract after being approached by a Tory activist. Ms Patel reportedly tried to pressure fellow minister Michael Gove during efforts to secure the contract for Pharmaceuticals Direct Limited. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the masks were “not suitable for the NHS”, according to disclosures in a legal case. But PDL won a £102.7m contract to provide a different type of mask soon after. Ms Patel’s spokesman said: “The Home Secretary rightly followed up representations made to her about vital supply of PPE.” DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 Demi wants us to believe POP superstar Demi Lovato is planning to prove to the planet that we are not alone. The 29-year-old alien “true believer” is determined to find proof that Earth has not only been visited by ET but that aliens also live here. American singer Lovato has a documentary film crew following her steps and aiding her collection of evidence for a new unscripted series. Publicity for the show Unidentified promises Demi will “investigate eyewitness encounters, uncover secret government reports and conduct tests at known UFO hot spots”. port on what the Pentagon calls “unidentified aerial phenomena”. That probe was sparked by footage of a “swarm” of pyramidshaped objects flying above four Navy destroyers near San Diego, California, in 2019. Luis Elizondo, a former US Department of Defense official, tells 60 Minutes that the Virginia Beach UFOs appear to have “far superior technology” to anything known to America or hostile nations like China and Russia. He claimed: “Imagine a technology that can fly 13,000 miles an hour, that can evade radar and can fly through air and water. “And has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings – and yet can still defy... the Earth’s gravity. That’s what we’re seeing.” DAILY STAR SUNDAY SAYS – PAGE 6 China lands on Mars CHINA yesterday managed to land a spacecraft on Mars for the first time.

Giles Martin – son of Fab Four producer Sir George – said at first he thought it was because his dog had pooped on the floor. But after 12 months of the stench, he realised his room was linked to the airconditioning coming from the toilets in the recording facility in north London. Giles was following in his father’s footsteps by working on 2006 Beatles remix album Love. He told the Rockonteurs podcast his dog Stanley “unfortunately did a massive dump on the studio floor just as I moved in”. He added: “There was this terrible smell and I felt so bad about it because I thought it was Stan. “But my room had the air-conditioning feed from the gentlemen’s bog. “So whenever anyone had a heavy movement next door it would appear in the studio.” Justice is so sweet ■ by SARA NICHOL A DRUG dealer “rippedoff” partygoers by selling them sugar instead of ecstasy. Joshua Kanda, 26, twice tricked clubbers into thinking the sucrose was the class A drug. He made £60 from the scam. But he was rumbled when the powder was tested by police, who had been watching him. They also spotted him supplying cannabis to two people. Kanda admitted two counts of fraud and two of supplying a class B drug in Newcastle in 2018. He was given a 12-month community order and two-month curfew by city magistrates. Michael Crowe, defending, said: “Essentially, he’s ripped-off some partygoers by getting them to buy MDMA and then he’s handed them sugar.” 1,000 CATS V RATS AN animal shelter has let more than 1,000 feral cats run loose on the streets to tackle a huge rat infestation in Chicago, USA. ■ FEARS: Shaun is concerned for mental health of reality stars fame goes off, they spend a QUIZZER Shaun Wallace has ■ by ED GLEAVE lifetime trying to switch it back claimed TV bosses are too on.

Ant, 40, has insisted it is “not in his nature” to behave in an inappropriate way towards females – even when he is “drunk as a skunk”. The former special forces sniper has also hit out at what he sees as a “victim mentality”. Speaking on a podcast, Ant said: “I can get as drunk as a skunk and that’s not in my nature, that’s not who I am. “My family knows that and my wife knows that. I’m more of a boys’ boy – let’s f*** off the chicks and go and have a drink with the lads. “It makes me realise how this victim mentality is really taking over. “My career could be cancelled if I wasn’t who I am. I’m too far gone and too long in the tooth now to be completely cancelled.” In March, reports ‘I’M ALWAYS SUPER NICE.. EVEN IF I’M DRUNK AS SKUNK’ claimed that as many as four women had raised formal concerns about Ant’s alleged conduct on set. One female contestant from a past series has even claimed he told her in jest that he wanted to have sex with her. Channel 4 axed him from the show and said it “will not be working with him again” after the reports surfaced. The dad of five has strenuously denied the allegations. But his wife Emilie has grilled him about them. Ant added: “It’s like, ‘Who did you make a suggestive comment to?’ I’m like, ‘Emilie, go back to who I am. When you first met me and I was drunk, have I ever been sleazy?’ No. Am I super polite? Yes, I am.” Ant, who says he is moving to Australia to escape the “pretentious” UK, added: “When all this came up, I just took it with a pinch of salt because it’s, ‘He said, she said’. “I’m like, ‘Who’s made these complaints?’ ‘Well, they heard you saying…’ ‘Has it come direct from the complainant?’ ‘No, no, no, it’s come from a crew member’. I’m just like, ‘Get over yourself’.” ■ DENIAL: Ant insists he has not been inappropriate towards women
SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 9 No.1 FOR TELLY + No.1 FOR TELLY HYACINTH BUCKET’S GAY SLUR WARNING 30yrs after show first aired GENTLE comedy Keeping Up Appearances has been hit with a content warning over a gay joke. W E L L, HOW DARE THEY! ■ BUCKET TWIST: Show has been given a content warning Viewers tuning in to watch are told the family programme “contains language and attitudes of the era that may offend”. The popular BBC series ran for five seasons in the 1990s. It followed the lives of snooty Hyacinth Bucket, played by Patricia Routledge, and her downtrodden husband Richard – actor Clive Swift. In one episode, Hyacinth and Richard spend a weekend at her rich sister and brother-in-law’s country cottage. When they encounter a posh local, Hyacinth tells Richard the man is “quent” – a word for people who speak well, short for eloquent – and as “quent as a £4 note”. In another episode, several characters make fun of a Polish person’s name and question his right to live in the UK. The series is being re-run on BritBox, the BBC’s streaming service for classic shows. A spokesman for the channel said: “We review and refresh BritBox’s programme catalogue on an ongoing basis. “Programming on the service that contains potentially sensitive language or attitudes of their era has carried appropriate warnings since our launch in November 2019, to ensure the right guidance is in place for viewers who are choosing to watch on demand.” Last week it was revealed that The EXCLUSIVE ■ by MATT ACTON sunday@dailystar.co.uk Good Life has also been hit with a BritBox warning – over an apron. The tame comedy, which ran for four series in the 70s, followed the fortunes of Tom and Barbara Good – played by Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal – as they attempted a self-sufficient life in suburbia. BritBox chiefs slapped a warning on an episode in season four called Away From It All. The action shows the Goods’ neighbour Margo Leadbetter – Penelope Keith – and husband Jerry, played by Paul Eddington, taking over Tom and Barbara’s chores after sending them away on a break. One scene shows Margo preparing food wearing an apron featuring Golly from marmalade and jam firm Robertson’s. Viewers using the service are told the episode “contains offensive racial imagery”. Robertson’s customers used to be able to collect tokens on jars of fruit preserves for Golly merchandise, and 20million Golly dolls were sent out. But in 1983, the now-defunct Greater London Council voted to boycott Robertson’s products, saying they were offensive. Five years later, Golly disappeared from TV advertising. Saucy version of Midwife? Be rude not to CALL The Midwife’s creator says she might write some saucy “fan fiction” based on the show. Screenwriter Heidi Thomas, 58, said she had read some of the X-rated versions of the genteel series that amateur writers have shared online. They even include her husband, actor Stephen McGann, 58, who plays Dr Turner in the BBC period ■ EXCLUSIVE by FELICITY CROSS drama. And she joked the raunchy stories were so good that she might have to add her own. Heidi said: “There is Call The Midwife fan fiction and my husband is in it. “I think I might have become the sort of person who writes fan fiction, as there are these whole worlds on the internet now where people who really love a television programme create fantasy spin-off stories and exchange them.” The long-running show follows a group of midwives working in London. The first series was set in 1957 and the storyline has moved through the years, taking in cultural and social changes. Series 10, which is being screened on Sunday nights, is set in 1966. Viewers will see Helen George’s character Trixie begin work at a posh clinic as the midwives are drawn into private healthcare. But Heidi said she will not necessarily include sex scenes to reflect more progressive times. She said: “We operate within the bounds of taste and decency.” BOOK CLUB: Marcus Rashford’s booked for home run MARCUS Rashford has launched an initiative to ensure every child has access to their own book at home. WHSmith shops will act as donation points, with funds going to the National Literacy Trust reading charity. The National Literacy Trust will distribute the books to “tackle literacy issues in communities at a local level across the UK”. Rashford said: “Enjoying reading can’t just be a privilege – all children should be able to access books, no matter their background. “Having good literacy skills supports children to succeed in life and everyone should have the opportunity to discover a love of reading. “This last year has shown us just what we can achieve when we work together. “By joining forces with WHSmith and the National Literacy Trust we are giving everyone the best opportunity to get involved in supporting getting every child reading.” Spacey sex case halted KEVIN Spacey’s sexual assault lawsuit is set to be dismissed after his anonymous accuser refused to reveal his identity. Earlier this month, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that the male source known as “CD” must publicly confirm his identity for the case to proceed. On Thursday, his lawyers said he would not. He accused Spacey of sexually assaulting him when he was 14 and filed his lawsuit against the actor in September alongside Anthony Rapp. His attorneys wrote: “CD believes he is unable to withstand the scrutiny and intrusion into his life if his identity is revealed.” But the judge ruled: “CD seeks $40million in damages. He makes serious charges and, as a result, has put his credibility in issue.” SHARK SHOCKS POSH JOB: Helen George SCIENTISTS tracking a 6ft shark were shocked to see it on a main road, until they realised a beach visitor in Australia had its GPS tag.

The former Arsenal and England star will take over from Dan Walker, who is stepping down after 12 years at the helm. The 36-year-old fullback made more than 200 club appearances during her playing career, earned 140 caps for her country and represented Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics. Announcing her new appointment in a column for BBC Sport, she wrote: “When I was a kid, I would never have thought someone like me could be presenting a programme like Football Focus. “For the BBC to trust me and allow me to be my true, authentic self means a lot.” She said she had received “amazing messages” from fans and former Football Focus presenter Bob Wilson.

Dr Miriam Ferrer of FutureYou Cambridge, behind the poll, said: “Feelings of stress come and go and are a part of day-today life, but for some it can be much more severe.

SS1ST MISSING: Madeleine Fresh fears for Maddie POLICE say they are convinced Madeleine McCann was killed in Portugal. Officers had thought suspect Christian Brueckner may have taken her to his native Germany from Praia da Luz, where she vanished on May 3, 2007. But German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters says his country’s police believe Maddie, who would now be 18, died in Portugal. Asked where he thought she was killed, he said: “In Portugal. I am optimistic we will solve this case.” Paedophile Brueckner, 44, is serving seven years for the rape of a woman in the Algarve in 2005. German authorities say he is the prime suspect in Maddie’s case, but he denies involvement. British police consider Maddie a missing person. JOE EXOTIC: I’VE GOT CANCER SO LET ME GO FREE Sick Tiger King star in new plea for a pardon ‘DON’T PITY ME’: Joe. Below, tweet JAILED Tiger King Joe Exotic has revealed he has prostate cancer and wants to be freed to fight it. The Netflix star, 58, tweeted his diagnosis from behind bars and said he was waiting for further tests. He told fans: “My body is tired, I have lost a tremendous amount of weight, the mouth sores are out of control, I throw up more than I eat.” He pleaded with US officials to work with his lawyer John Phillips to release him so he can fight the cancer.

He failed in a previous plea for a pardon to then-president Donald Trump. In his latest tweet Exotic said: “I don’t want anyone’s pity, what I need is when John Phillips gets the evidence he is working on, I need the world to help him get President Biden, VP Harris and the Attorney General to listen to the evidence and see that it’s not just city cops out of control with corruption, but his very own Department of Justice. And make this right, and sign that pardon that Trump left behind, so I can go home and get proper medical care and proper food.” Exotic thanked his supporters and finished his tweets with “wish me luck” and the hashtag “justice for Joe Exotic”. The controversial TV star – whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage – is serving a 22-year sentence in Texas for plotting to kill big cat rival Carole Baskin. He was also convicted of falsifying wildlife records and violating the Endangered Species Act by killing five tigers and selling others across state lines. He is due for release in 2037. Exotic said he intended to use his “new platform to speak for justice and prison reform and speak for the thousands of men and women in this country who have been wrongfully convicted or over-sentenced in this country for simply no reason other than for profit”.

12 SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 NAME GAME: Gallagher Why rocker Noel never liked Oasis NOEL Gallagher says he never liked his band being called Oasis. The music star told how they were almost called The Sons Of The Stage – after a song his brother Liam later ended up covering. Noel, 53, said: “Right at the very beginning, I think before Supersonic came out, there was a point for about a week where we were going to have to change our name because somebody thought the name was already taken. “I think we were going to call ourselves The Sons Of The Stage, after a song by World Of Twist.” On his friend Matt Morgan’s podcast, Gallagher said he didn’t like the name Oasis – but the band already had the moniker before he joined them. But he added: “A name’s a name and they’re all s**t at the end of the day.” Sandwich beats sex WOMEN would prefer to tuck into a tasty sandwich than have sex. In a survey, almost half of Brits said they couldn’t live without sarnies. And women are the biggest fans, with 15% preferring a butty to a bonk. Just 7% of men said they would give up nookie for a sarnie, but a quarter would quit the pub. And 20% of Millennials said they would shun going on a date in favour of a good sandwich. The survey was carried out for National Sandwich Week – which starts today – by the condiments company Vadasz. Jim Winship, of The British Sandwich & Food To Go Association, said: “While I was aware that sandwiches were Britain’s favourite food by some way, I was not aware that they were so orgasmic.” HERE OF THE DOG A SUSPECT in an £870,000 German fraud case faked her death but was nabbed in Majorca after cops tailed a man walking her poodle.

A pair of sliders covered in fake grass and blooms were originally £911 on one website. But the retailer had shovelled them into the bargain bin at “just” £367. A similar pair of sandals on the site were reduced from £799 to £359.

The 90s fashion faux pas was loved by celebs like George Michael and the band B*Witched. And huge 80s-style shoulder-pad jackets have returned, along with the fashion crime of wearing socks under sandals. Flares are making a return too, along with a string of other dodgy looks including the mullet hairstyle and the so-called Farrah fringe. It was sported by Charlie’s Angels actress Farrah Fawcett back in the 70s. MOW NO: Advert for grass shoes DELIVER-OW! Takeaway couriers thumped, robbed & groped on the job DELIVEROO workers have ■ by MATT DAVIS faced shocking abuse while sunday@dailystar.co.uk dropping off takeaways. They have been robbed, assaulted, racially abused and subjected to sexual harassment. Police files also revealed other incidents where riders were threatened with knives, robbed of bikes and had bags snatched. The survey uncovered more than 250 crimes reported by Deliveroo workers in the last year. It is feared the true tally could be even worse as some police forces were unable to locate crime data requested under Freedom of Information laws. Dorset police had a case where a Deliveroo driver was attacked by a motorist following a heated row about parking. In another incident a knife was used to threaten a rider into handing over their bicycle. In West Yorkshire, a fight broke out between a Deliveroo courier and a restaurant worker in a row over delays to orders. It ended with punches being thrown. In Surrey, a Deliveroo driver had a motorist pull alongside before making a gun gesture at him while saying: “Immigrants like you should be dead”. Officers in the City of London recorded an incident where a rider was set upon by youths who stole his bike. In a separate attack a delivery bag was cut off a bike and then stolen. Warwickshire police had a case where a customer grabbed a Deliveroo driver’s bag and refused to give it back, threatening to throw drinks on the employee as well as subjecting them to racist abuse. While Cheshire police had a report of a Deliveroo employee who had to fend off unwanted sexual advances from a customer. The driver was told he “smelled nice” and was asked “What aftershave do you use?” as the householder tried to cuddle them. Police also revealed a string of incidents where orders were made using stolen bank cards. One crook in North Yorkshire even demanded a refund, claiming their meal was “ not edible”. A Deliveroo spokesman said: “The safety of riders is our absolute priority and we take our responsibility to rider safety extremely seriously.”
SS1ST BINMENS’ TRASHY NOVELS PEOPLE are just amazing, aren’t they? And so creative. I read about some binmen in Turkey who set up their own library with more than 6,000 books salvaged from the rubbish. I hope they cleaned them before they hit the shelves. Sounds like they did, as the library has a lounge for readers and even a chessboard. Some of the books’ final pages are missing, so readers must draw their own conclusions! Even more important than cleanliness in a library is silence. I once asked for a burger and chips in my local one. The librarian said: “This is a library!” So I whispered: “Can I have a burger and chips?” LEGO IS OH TOE PAINFUL LEGO slippers are a thing! Who knew? I’m all for anything that saves your tootsies from those plastic torture instruments. If only it was like being online and I could just block them. My issues with LEGO began when I was a kid and stood on a piece – I ended up needing plastic surgery. But when I turned 40 I thought I’d relive my youth, so I bought a Star Wars kit which said +3 years on the box. I had the last laugh when I finished it in just 18 months. I noticed that Captain America, The Hulk, Thor and Iron Man all got LEGO sets recently. Avengers, assemble!

A study found six in 10 of our 16 to 29-year-olds have swapped their phones and computers to focus on hobbies of yesteryear. So I feel this is now a safe space to ask: Did you know that the study of postage stamps is actually called philately? Which reminds me, I really must call my old friend as I haven’t seen Phil lately. I’ve never been birdwatching myself, but I hear it’s fun to do with a friend as toucan play that game. As for trainspotters, I already know Gym freaks are really in the pink PINK drinks can help h l yo you run faster and further. It’s true! The boffins have found the added colouring boosts performance by more than 4% thanks to the “feelgood” effect. This is just what I need as an incentive to get me back into training. It might also prove handy for the gym users who try to park closest to the entrance so they don’t have to walk so far! I actually called a new gym yesterday and asked if they could teach me gymnastics so I could learn some cool moves. The girl asked if I was flexible. I said: “Yes, fairly, but I can’t do Thursdays.” The reason I quit my old place was because I forgot to post my selfie on Facebook, so that whole workout was a complete waste of time.

Phil’s in the hair tonight I WAS excited to hear Phil Collins is due to play various venues this September. I once sat on a bench and had a chat with Phil and the Genesis boys at the Montreux Pop Festival back in ’86. They were clearly only there for the hits and giggles. I can’t judge really – I’m no singer. When I sang in church, 200 people changed religion. I haven’t even been able to win over Monica.

SOFA SQUIRM FOR INNOCENT LOVERS JAMIE Bamber and Priyanga Burford ★ could be hiding behind the sofa when the new series of Innocent airs this week. They shot a sex scene for the drama and are already cringing at the thought of watching it with their loved ones. Priyanga said: “I’d be lying if I said it was totally cool. “When you watch this sort of thing with your nearest and dearest, it is a bit weird. But it’s part of the job.” Jamie added: “I have three teenage daughters, so whenever anything like this airs it does inevitably get awkward. “It ends up with pillows being thrown at me. “But it’s not done for the sake of it. This sex scene is serving a purpose. It moves the story along and tells you something about the characters.” Innocent starts tomorrow at 9pm on ITV. Worried Ranj ready to Singh heart out ★ RANJ Singh is terrified about swapping the surgery for the stage. The TV doctor will be treading the boards in the West End with his own show next month. And he is hoping he can belt out the tunes as well as he does in the shower. Ranj said: “I have loved singing since I was a kid, and it’s something I’ve done quite a lot socially. “I’ve been in choirs in the past, but singing at home or in the shower or with your mates at karaoke is very different to singing on stage. I am pushing myself out of my comfort zone.” Ranj got in some practice earlier this year when he sang a track from Moulin Rouge on ITV’s All Star Musicals. He said: “It was a big deal for me. But I did it and I loved it, it was the best experience.” The doc’s show Scrubs To Sparkles, which is raising cash for the Make A Difference Trust, is at the Garrick Theatre on June 15. Special guests will include Janette Manrara from Strictly, The Chase’s Jenny Ryan and Steps’ Faye Tozer.

And some recent storylines also made best Corrie storyline ever. Mega Maura has eyes on the prize ★ MAURA Higgins is on track to be one of Love Island’s biggest success stories. The newly single Irish minx has become a household name since her villa stint in 2019. Maura has chalked up a string of high-profile TV appearances including Dancing On Ice and The Wheel. And she signed a big-money deal to front a beauty line for Inglot Cosmetics. If they make you look this gorgeous, even I might give them a try. An industry insider said: “Maura’s career is going from strength to strength. Her ballsy persona has struck a chord with the public. “Lots of people come away from Love Island and try to carve out a career in showbiz, but most of them disappear within months.” Check out the Inglot x Maura Elements Collection at inglot. co.uk and boots.com. Thousands of fans still remember it, 38 years after it aired. The saga ran for months and had the whole nation gripped. When their fling was finally exposed and Deirdre picked Ken (William Roach), the show enjoyed bumper ratings. The twist was even announced at a Manchester United match, with the news greeted by cheers from the crowd. Anne Kirkbride, who played Deirdre, died in 2015. Johnny Briggs, who was Mike, passed away earlier this year. But the poll, by experts at 72point, proves the pair are still favourites among Corrie viewers. Other memorable moments that racked up votes include Alan Bradley’s death under a Blackpool tram the top 10. They include the heartbreaking death of terminally ill Hayley Cropper (Julie Hesmondhalgh) in 2014. Fans wept as the much-loved character ended her own life with the help of doting husband Roy (David Neilson). Another recent plot that pulled in votes was Pat Phelan’s reign of terror. The villain, played by Connor McIntyre, committed a string of murders before being killed off in 2018. Corrie has kept the nation entertained for more than six decades. At its peak, each episode was pulling in more than 26.9million viewers. Even now, it is still TV’s top soap and regularly racks up six million viewers – far more than rivals Emmerdale and EastEnders.

The club has the most slaphead supporters in the Premier League. Almost half of men, or 49%, who follow the Magpies are bald or losing locks. Researchers blame it on the stress of seeing their side battling to stay in the top flight. The research was done for BuzzBingo.com, whose spokesman Rich Kearns said: “It seems Newcastle’s season-long battle to avoid relegation has taken an even greater toll on its fans.” Jonjo Shelvey, inset, and his side have been close to the relegation zone all season but managed to avoid it. Some 30% of Premier League fans lose their hair early, with many claiming that following their team is the most stressful part of their life. While 5% said they had treatment to save their locks, 20% went for the “Full Kojak” look at the first sign of going thin on top. Another 10% grew a beard to compensate. After Newcastle, Liverpool had the second most baldies with 47% admitting to having a thinning dome. Chelsea came third on 42%, followed by Tottenham on 41%. Manchester United fans came eighth with a 36% slaphead rating. Champions Man City were 10th on 27%. The followers of Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers are the least likely to be balding. They were at the foot of the table in joint 16th place, with just 16% of their fans reporting thinning hair.

CAN you give Paddy a new home? The nine-year-old Akita is looking to spend his twilight years with loving owners. Dogs Trust say just 5% of prospective owners want a dog aged over eight, but older animals still make great pets. Paddy loves to go on walks and is always excited to see his two-legged friends when it’s time to head out. Although he is laidback, the team say he has got a lovely silly side too and would be best suited to an adultsonly home where he can be the centre of attention. Up to 12 gunmen are believed to have been captured when a British special forces team raided a terrorist “safe house” in Syria. The team, which contained just four Gurkha soldiers, had been briefed to capture the Isis fighters alive. After approaching their hideout, an interpreter ordered the men inside to surrender. When they refused, the Gurkhas emerged and brandished their fearsome kukri blades. The interpreter then shouted: “These four men are members of the Gurkhas. They come from the hills of Nepal. “They are famous warriors who do not fear death. If they have to come in to get you they will behead you with their curved knives.” A combat is a greater honour for a Gurkha than receiving a gallantry medal.” Up to 12 members of the Gurkhas are believed to be serving in the SAS, with a slightly smaller number in the SBS. The troops, who are recruited from the Nepalese highlands, must serve at least three years in the Brigade of Gurkhas before applying for the special forces. Gurkhas are renowned for their supreme fitness and bravery. As well as being capable soldiers, those applying to serve in the special forces must also have excellent English. The SAS have been trying to encourage more Gurkhas to attempt special forces selection because of their exceptional mountain warfare skills. The Ministry of Defence does not comment on special forces matters. TRIP WAS A Tanks for lovely day out!

The Bake Off star now has her dream set-up to create cakes and treats. But rather than piling on the pounds, the professional chef says she is fitter than ever. The canary yellow kitchen’s “huge central island” is so large that the 81-year-old said she is hitting 14,000 steps a day. Prue, inset, said: “OK, so it all looks good, but does it work? “I’m glad to say it really does. “One does walk a fair bit, round the huge central island – it took six men to carry in the single slab of worktop. “From the cooking area to the wash-up to the prep area where the mixing machines are, to the larder and back to the sink. “Yesterday I cooked all day and my Fitbit told me I’d done 14,000 steps.” Prue has four ovens, a £2,000 grill, a boiling water tap and a huge double wine fridge alongside regular appliances, cupboards and drawers in bright yellow. Experts say the appliances alone could cost £50,000. In the past, Prue has spoken of her wish to keep fit as she turned 80, following a fall three years earlier. She said at the time: “All my life I have wanted to lose a stone but I could never lose it. But I do exercise. “I have a personal trainer who comes once or twice a week. “My main worry is falling over. I fell at our train station and it’s taken me two years to recover.” The mum of two has put in a two-feet tall “lazy Susan” turntable to hold all her spices, ingredients and tools.

Fellow French-owned brands Citroën and Dacia also fared badly, with five cars between them in the bottom 10. But Japanese firm Lexus came out on top for passing. The MoT has to be taken three years after a vehicle is first registered. Test centre records showed that almost 23% of Méganes flunked their initial MoT. Visibility problems – such as cracked windscreens – were the main cause of failures. The Renault Clio did almost as badly with an 18.5% failure rate. But under 5% of Lexus NXs tested failed to pass. The Japanese luxury arm of Toyota also saw its five-door CT hatchback in the top 10 performers. Meanwhile other popular models that often failed their first MoT were the Citroën C4, Ford Galaxy and VW Passat. James Ruppert, author of Bangernomics, said: “Cheap and cheaply made cars fail more often but so do hardused vehicles. That explains why the medium and larger sized people carriers like the Volkswagen Touran, Seat Alhambra and Ford Galaxy show up as early failures.” Renault declined to offer a comment on the report.

He has even bragged about his technique for loading the dishwasher. Tony, 38, said: “I can stack a dishwasher like no other f***er on the planet. “My top technique is a space between each dish. So don’t just fill every compartment. “You can’t put 10 plates in 10 spaces – if there’s 10 spaces you’ve got to put five plates. That way they all get washed back to front properly. The knives and forks the same. “I put a space between everything so I utilise a dishwasher perfectly.” The former world champ told the Lockdown Parenting Hell podcast that since retiring he has become a domestic god. He added: “I have no say in the finances that are going on in my house – what gets bought, what comes in and what goes out. “All I’ve got control of is the f***ing cooker because I cook the food.” ‘I don’t see life slowing down for us just yet... it’ll still be a madhouse’ a and Bradley as they decisions are still being made in some ways wedding.

One-third of folk from the city said they were veggies or vegans, a study has found. Although some admitted “falling off the veggie wagon”, 33% of residents there said they had been veggie for at least the past six months. Pedro Zuim, spokesman for plant-based firm Future Farm which did the study, said: “Birmingham has the most vegetarians and vegans of any UK city according to our study. “We’re transforming our relationship with food and nature – it’s a revolution.” Around 10% of the UK are either vegetarians or vegans, making about 6.5million Britons nonmeat eaters.

According to the ESA, E3 2021 will have an online portal and app and will be a “key hub for the duration of the show”. Those wishing to access the E3 portal will be able to register later this month for free. Beginning June 12, the public version of the online portal will give access to a number of features for attendees. The official E3 live broadcast will also be included on the online portal and app, hosted by Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez, Jacki Jing and Greg Miller, pictured above. Viewers can expect some “major publisher showcases, press conferences, industry panels, extended livestreams and special guest appearances”. The digital showcase will run from June 12 to 15 and can be watched on the official E3 Twitch and YouTube channel. Sony’s colour control Sony has unveiled two PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller colours, due to hit shelves next month – Midnight Black and Cosmic Red.

The sweet-natured bee (again voiced by Coco Jack Gillies) and her nervous best pal Willie (Benson Jack Anthony) are in hot water after unleashing a stampede of glow-worms into the hive. When they overhear the Queen (Justine Clarke) planning to split them up unless something “very special” happens, the panicked pair head out into the wilderness. There, Maya senses a chance to prove herself when she helps local ants by flying a mysterious golden orb to a remote colony with a gang of nasty beetles in hot pursuit. On the way, there are songs, bright and breezy animation (much improved from the last instalment) and mildly perilous chase scenes that should only upset the most sensitive of little flowers. There’s nothing here for parents but young children will learn lessons about courage, compassion and teamwork. BAD BEE-HAVIOUR Can Maya and friend Willie save the day? The title is taken from Michael Koryta’s 2014 novel which he has adapted for Wind River director Taylor Sheridan. But, as it’s released on the day when the picture houses reopen, it’s tempting to read it as a riposte to those who have been cheerily predicting the death of an art form. With dramatic forest blazes and Angelina Jolie back in action heroine mode, this cinema-only release (in the UK at least) wears its big screen credentials on its fireresistant sleeves. Jolie plays loose cannon Hannah who has been transferred to a remote lookout tower deep in the forests of Montana, presumably after failing a psych evaluation. While her fellow specialist firefighters enjoy macho banter on the front line, haunted Hannah has been left alone with flashbacks of the day she “misread the wind” and watched three kids burn to death in a raging inferno. She gets a shot at redemption when she crosses paths with 12-year-old Connor (Finn Little) who is on the run from ruthless hit men (Aidan Gillen and Nicholas Hoult) who killed his accountant dad before he could expose a web of corruption. When the assassins try to cover up their incompetence by starting a forest fire, the chase scenes have a suitably cinematic backdrop. Sheridan and Koryta don’t fully develop the bond between the frightened boy and the traumatised Hannah, spending too much time on a subplot involving Jon Bernthal’s cop and his pregnant wife (Medina Senhorne). So the pacing is off but the shootouts are tense, the scenery is spectacular and Jolie makes the most of her first action role since 2010’s Salt. It’s a solid action thriller, rather than a great one, but it may just reignite your love of the silver screen.

Do they follow the diktats of the Catholic church or the communist party? A moody opening scene shows us what is at stake as we watch a body being dumped under a bridge in the dead of night. Jumping back “143 days”, we follow best pals Juraj (Samuel Skyva) and Michal (Samuel Polakovic) as they enrol at the seminary, unaware that their teachers are colluding with the murderous state. While it’s styled like a film noir, the pace is way too slow for a thriller. Still, this stylish, thoughtful film is quietly gripping.

Captain Sir Tom Moore’s remarkable spirit lives on only a few steps away from the garden where he marched into our hearts. On the outskirts of the Bedfordshire village where he heroically raised millions for the NHS while approaching his 100th birthday, another intrepid adventurer has been strutting its way into the record books. Bar-tailed godwits have long legs and banana-shaped bills – perfect for wading through coastal mudflats to winkle out juicy worms and clams. For several glorious spring days, one of these striking shorebirds drew admiring glances by taking up temporary residence at an inland nature reserve about as far from the sea as you can get in the UK. Watching the godwit tip-toe through the boggy meadows of Marston Vale Millennium Country Park proved they are as elegant on the ground as they are on the wing. No birds on the planet perform such astonishing flights as the barwit, to use its popular nickname No birds on among the birdwatching the planet community. perform One was recorded such the longest astonishing making non-stop flight by any flights bird, having set off from Alaska last September and arriving 11 days later in New Zealand. At times during the 7,500-mile epic flight, the satellite-tracked godwit reached speeds of 55mph as it powered over the unforgiving waters of the Pacific. But the bird left high and dry in the wilds of Bedfordshire had been on a very different migratory journey, travelling from tropical West Africa for its remote breeding grounds amid the Arctic tundra wastes of Scandinavia. Most years, flocks of godwits pass fleetingly over the UK to refuel on the intertidal mudflats of Western Europe’s Wadden Sea, but this spring’s incessant period of northerly winds has meant unprecedented numbers of birds touching down to feed inland. The British Trust for Ornithology’s BirdTrack project has received hundreds of reports of godwits, with one flock of 1,800 birds counted in Gloucestershire. Captain Tom reminded us tomorrow will be a good day. To my mind, as long as there are fascinating birds to watch, the future will always be bright. CARPET Wild mix brings variety and colour ‘‘ Follow STUART on twitter: @birderman DEMURE Viola odorata – the ‘shrinking’ violet A natural approach has many benefits and it’s a trend that’s growing L ast week I was down in Hampshire working on a new television gardening show. For part of the project we laid out some wildflower turf. This is a relatively new landscaping product which you install like a carpet, in much the same way as laying a new lawn. Different mixes are available for various situations such as shady areas. The plants are already established in the turf containing a number of native and naturalised species. It is grown on moisture retentive, biodegradable, recycled fibre matting which acts as a barrier to suppress any problematic weeds and grasses. Ideally it should be laid on nutrient-low soil as grasses quickly take over rich soils. The wildflowers reminded me of creating my first garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1995. The late Marney Hall supplied lovely plants which we draped through mossy stones at the front of our ‘wild’

Your pots and hanging baskets can go outside permanently if you have been gradually acclimatising in the last few weeks. If not, start to leave them outside during the day so they can adjust gradually. ■■If you’re further south, you can plant cannas and dahlias outside now and sow tender annuals outdoors too. It’s summer bedding time so if you fancy some colour, plant some pelargoniums, begonias, lobelias and antirrhinums into your pots and beds. If you’re nervous about frost, keep some horticultural fleece handy for warmth at night. ■■In the veg garden, you can PLANT sow seeds directly outdoors that had to be done indoors until now such as pumpkins, courgettes, squash, French beans and sweetcorn. If you haven’t planted potatoes yet, get them in this month. Earth up potato plants – draw soil up to the stems to create ridges of soil. ■■Keep successional sowing of quick-tocrop veg such as salad, beetroot and radish. ■■Lightly hoe borders to remove weed seedlings which will dry out on the soil surface. ■■Open vents and doors in glasshouses on warm days to improve air circulation. ■■Overcrowded spring bulbs can be lifted and divided once they start to die down. ■■Hang pheromone traps in apple trees to reduce codling moth damage to your fruit. of the week Geranium phaeum ‘Samobor’ Dusky cranesbill I’m always happy to extol the virtues of a hardy geranium – they’re such hard-working plants that flower their socks off without being overly demanding of attention.

Mike Andrews Weymouth, Dorset Hi Mike This is Euphorbia lathyris, a member of the spurge family. It’s a biennial that has self-seeded itself in your garden. It is sometimes known as the caper spurge because the little cluster of fruits turn brown and look similar to capers. However don’t be tempted as the plant is toxic and, like all euphorbias, has a milky latex that can burn the skin, so handle with caution. It’s also sometimes referred to as the mole plant because it is thought to deter moles, which don’t like the scent.

SS1ST 34 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 Very special Ferrari Ferrari has launched the 211mph 812 Competizione, a limitededition special that’s based on the 812 Superfast. And pictured is another new limited-model called the Competizione A which is a targa-roofed car. Both are powered by the monster 6.5-litre V12 engine from the Superfast but tuned for 830bhp and which rev to 9,500rpm. Old man Ferrari used to say that you paid for the engine and the car was chucked in for free. That might well apply to the Competizione because that V12, bristling with F1 technology, sounds like it’s a heck of a motor. Even if you have very deep pockets though – prices start at £431,000 – all of the cars have already been spoken for.

Today we’re turning the telescope the other way round and looking at a car that couldn’t be more different. It’s the BMW M2 CS. I wouldn’t be surprised if I never drive a car like this again, certainly not a Beemer like this. And that would be a bad thing because if I get my tick list out this car has pretty much everything I like in a high performance vehicle. Manual gearbox: tick. Small physical dimensions: tick. No complicated systems to distract you: tick. The M2 CS is a more extreme version of the BMW M2 Competition which in itself is an improved version of the original M2. The CS is also £25,000 dearer than the regular M2 Competition. So what do you get for your extra wedge? Power has been increased from 404bhp to 444bhp, but surprisingly the 3.0-litre turbo straight-six (which is out of the last generation M4) has no more torque. Added sex new qashqai PRICED UP Nissan has announced prices for its new Qashqai which is on sale now with deliveries starting early summer. The range starts with the Visia at £23,535 which is a two-wheeldrive model with a 140PS petrol engine and manual gearbox, and climbs up through Acenta Premium, N-Connecta, Tekna and Tekna+ trims. The higher spec models have the option of a more powerful 158PS engine, automatic gearbox and 4wd. The flagship, which has all of those features, is the Tekna+ 158 4WD Xtronic at £37,835.
SS1ST GOT A COMMENT ON MOTORING? FOLLOW me on TWITTER @Askgoodwin with DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 Seat performance brand Cupra is expanding its range. The latest Formentor is the e-HYBRID 204PS at £35,770 in V1 trim combining a 1.4-litre TSI engine with a 116PS electric motor to produce 204PS. Other Formentor newcomers include 190 and 245PS versions with a 2.0-litre petrol engine and fourwheel drive that cost £32,000 and £33,830 respectively. A new Cupra Leon estate uses the same 310PS engine and DSG gearbox as the hatchback and costs from £38,475. COST TOO HIGH FOR THIS BMW BRUTE appeal comes from a new carbon fibre bonnet with funky air intakes, a carbon front splitter, carbon rear wing on the boot lid and a special pattern on the roof (carbon of course). Add to that a set of stunning forged alloy wheels which are blingy gold on our car and wrapped in Michelin Cup tyres. Plenty more carbon and a liberal smattering of M badges. You lose a centre console armrest which is a bit pointless as the CS isn’t significantly lighter than the Competition anyway. Finished in black, the CS test car costs £75,355 without all the options this model boasts. That compares to £52,405 for the regular M2 Competition. The CS always fires up in the same default mode settings and they’re not the ones I’d choose. They’re Efficient engine, Sport suspension and Sport steering. The suspension in this setting is stiffer than it needs to be and the steering is too much like hard work. Fortunately you can program in your own settings and select them via the M1 and M2 buttons on the A Bentley to brake records Here’s a good car bore quiz question: which passenger car has the largest diameter brake discs in the world? The answer is the new Bentley Continental GT Speed with whopping 440mm rotors. They’re carbon ceramic so their price probably sets a record too. The new GT Speed, available to order now in coupe and convertible body styles, is capable of 208mph and does 0-60mph in 3.5sec. The car also features a fourwheel steering system that Bentley says improves agility and stability. Other features are an electronic limited-slip differential and re-calibrated active air suspension. steering wheel which is refreshingly clear of other buttons and switches. The engine sounds earthy and rough in a good way. Just the sort of engine enthusiasts will yearn for when we’re all driving electric cars. An automatic gearbox is an option, but the six-speed manual suits the personality of this car and allows you to get the best noises from the engine. Considering the amount of power under the bonnet, the M2 CS has a lot of grip even in the wet. Impressive considering it also has track-focused Michelin tyres. Turning off the traction control system is not very wise, but even if you do the M2 is more surefooted than the M4 we tested recently. As wonderful as this car is, it’s not worth £25k more than the regular M2 Competition. So much of what there is to love about the CS is on its cheaper brother anyway. The extra 40bhp isn’t noticeable in the real world. But investment-wise, although the CS costs a lot more than the M2 Competition, it could turn out to be a very valuable classic. BATTERY BABY The facts BMW M2 CS Price: £75,355 Engine: 2,979cc, six-cylinder, petrol Power: 450PS Torque: 550Nm Top speed: 174mph 0-62mph: 4.2secs Economy: 27.2mpg combined CO2: 238g/km For: Simple performance and lots of it. Against: The standard car is great but for a lot less cash. Sum Up: The end of an era. Remember the dinky little Citroen AMI two-seat electric city car? Now we have a commercial version called the AMI Cargo. The passenger seat has been removed and replaced with a seven-part cargo module giving a 400-litre load capacity. The battery range is 47 miles and charging from a domestic socket takes only three hours. The AMI Cargo costs €6,490 in France which with today’s exhange rate is about £5,600. 35

SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 37 racing START OF THE PIER SHOW Sky is the limit for Gosden miler AFTER Palace Pier left his rivals floundering in the mud at Newbury yesterday, Frankie Dettori hailed the colt as one of the best milers he has ridden. And nobody will argue with Dettori’s opinion, having partnered Barathea, Dubai Millennium, Mark Of Esteem and many more, after Palace Pier proved too strong from Lady Bowthorpe with Top Rank taking third. “Whoosh, he just took off as he’s a serious horse, a beast,” said Dettori after winning the Group One for the fifth time. “I was looking for Ryan Moore, on Lope Y Fernandez – but I saw him rowing away three furlongs from home. “He’s only run eight times and is a wonderful athlete and can only get better.” Successful trainer John Gosden backed up Dettori’s assessment. He said: “He’s a lovely horse. It’s pretty obvious at this stage that we will go to the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot and we will think about stepping PEERLESS: Palace Pier and Frankie Dettori (right) ■■by CHRIS GOULDING up in trip after that. Something like the Juddmonte International.” William Haggas was also justifiably purring after Al Aasy’s silky smooth victory in the Al Rayyan Stakes under a motionless Jim Crowley. “He’s talented and is in everything we could possibly put him in,” said Haggas. “We’ll put him in the Arc but there’s a long way to go before then. He’s won two Group Threes but he’s a good horse. “He’s very enthusiastic but the good thing is in both races this year, he’s dropped the bridle. Jim is getting his confidence in him now.” Crowley said: “He’s a monster of a horse – I just had a double handful throughout. “You don’t get many horses that give you that sort of feel. “He appreciated the cut in the ground, but hopefully he hasn’t stopped improving.” Before Haggas searches out his passport for that trip to the Arc at Longchamp in October, Al Aaasy will head to Epsom next month for the Coronation Cup.

Leeper of faith THE LEGACY of the late John Dunlop lives on after John Leeper, named in honour of the trainer, became a worthy player for next month’s Derby after winning at Newmarket yesterday. For good measure, the talented colt, who won in the hands of William Buick, is trained by Dunlop’s son Ed. “He’s named after my dad so that is about as much pressure as you can get,” said Dunlop. “He was a little bit keen and fresh and inexperienced but he can only get better with more racing. “I’m sure the owner (Anamoine Limited, which represents the racing interests of Cristina Patino) will want to go to Epsom. “She has had the dream to do it and as long as he is okay that is what we will do.” John Leeper, is now 7-1 from 16-1 for the Epsom classic, has a faultless pedigree. His sire is the mighty Frankel and dam Snow Fairy won the Oaks for his trainer. Dunlop, who died in 2018 aged 78, trained two Derby winners – Erhaab (1994) and Shirley Heights (1978) –in his illustrious career that was also responsible for training 3,600 winners.

SS1ST 38 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 your INSIDE racing FLIGHTS OF FANCY: Madera Mist can win the handicap hurdle at Stratford today the irish eye It is easy to forgive a horse one bad run and KHARTOUM (2.10) can prove the point yet again by landing the nap in the big threeyear-old handicap at Naas today. Thought good enough to run in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket, he pulled like a train through the first half mile and not surprisingly dropped away like a stone in the closing stages to finish last of 10. On the back of that, he has been put on a mark of just 92 and I suspect he will have too much class for the unexposed Diderot and the light weight Vocita. Later on the card, there is a good turn Mad for it! out for the Listed Sole Power Sprint Stakes and top of my list is MAKE A CHALLENGE (3.40). The six-year-old has run two fair races in similar events this season and should now be cherry ripe to step up here. CONTARELLI CHAPEL (4.10) looks set to retain her unbeaten record in the feature Group Three Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint Stakes. The best wager at Wexford could be BOLD ENOUGH (3.55) in the novices’ chase. The Henry de Bromhead (above) runner can make the most off the 6lbs he gets off the penalised Gold Des Bois. VAUGHAN HAS MIST OPPORTUNITY Tim Vaughan’s light weight has been crying out for a real test of stamina and with no weight on her back here, she could prove well treated on ground that is sure to be hugely testing. Also at the Warwickshire track, don’t miss out on the chance of supporting course and distance winner ATLANTIC STORM (3.47) in the two-mile handicap chase. The ultra-consistent nine-year-old loves to run through rivals at the back end of a fast-run race and should get that set-up. His mark of 109 looks very fair in receipt of 12lbs from likely market leader Ar Mest. At Ripon, the soft ground will suit the today’s best longshot MAJURCA (3.25) has been dropped 16lbs for his last two runs and may outrun his big price at Wexford. WEEK AHEAD ONE TO SWERVE MARTINEO (3.40) can HYPE (2.10) won land another course nicely on his last start and distance win at on the sand but has Wolverhampton on yet to prove as good Wednesday in the on turf and can ★ MY seven-furlong be opposed at DUBAWI (1.33 Ripon) is a handicap.

This free-to-enter event will be hosted by Julie Collier who will be joined by her RPGTV colleague Ali Brown, champion trainer Patrick Janssens, Towcester racing manager Andy Lisemore and Martin Chapman of sponsors Star Sports. Anyone wishing to attend should contact megan.smith@towcester-racecourse.co.uk. The Northamptonshire track races today where the fancies are Frank Gray’s Riser (3.11) and Simon Harms’ Droopys Bird (4.08). Central Park hosts another open-race card tonight where the picks are Grand National second Toolmaker Daddy (7.36), Bubbly Jubbly (8.54) and Forest Alan (9.12). ■ In association with www.towcester-racecourse.co. uk - home of the Star Sports and TRC Events & Leisure English Greyhound Derby Five-time Naps Table champ Moorestyle’s best bets… Pivotal filly CREDIBLE (4.05) down to the ground in the feature six-furlong handicap. It is worth remembering that this will be only her fifth career start and the forecast showers will hold no terrors for her. Richard Fahey’s charge can see off the more experienced Zim Baby and fellow three-year-old Rumaythah. There are a handful of three-year-olds that remain unexposed for the mile and a quarter handicap and GOLDEN DOVE (3.05) could be the pick off her light weight. The bay filly found the ground a tad too quick at Redcar first time up and will be much more at home on this terrain getting 3lbs and upwards from her six rivals. In-form handler David O’Meara has two strong hands in the all-aged mile and a quarter handicap but may have to give best to the top weight HAYADH (3.35). The eight-year-old has been given a real chance by the handicapper to record his first win since September off just a 3lbs higher mark. He is taken to successfully give 12lbs away to the George Bougheytrained Jean Baptiste. There is a bundle of early pace on in the speed finale and that could favour a hold up horse like HARD SOLUTION (5.05). The chestnut gelding never really showed on his comeback run at Wetherby but gets a chance to run off his lowest ever handicap mark here. WEXFORD JASON HEAVEY BEST EACH-WAY LAW OF INDICES (4.40) may have needed his run first time up and will be keen to impress at Naas. hot dogs jacobs’ MADERA MIST (4.17) has the staying power to succeed at Stratford this afternoon in the mares’ staying handicap hurdle.

SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 us pga championship golf exclusive back mac Lynn: Rory’s on his way to kiawah island ❱ starts thursday Major glory R O R Y McILR O Y will win the US PGA title at Kiawah Island again this week – and you can put your house on it. That’s the prediction of David Lynn, the runner-up to the Ulsterman in South Carolina in 2012 and now a property developer. McIlroy, 32, won his second Major title by eight shots after lapping the field at the time of the London Olympics nine years ago. The world No.7 showed a return to his old form last weekend when he triumphed at the Wells Fargo Championship – his first title for 18 months. Lynn (below), who retired in 2014 after McIlroy won his last Major, is now backing him to ride the wave to another victory on the Atlantic Coast. “You are hard pushed to look past Rory – he is an obvious pick,” said the former world No.34. “He has obviously got very fond memories there – he knows how to play the place – and is in form. “When he is on his game, Rory is in the top three in the world – if not the top. He has got length, ■■by NEIL McLEMAN he has got control, he can do whatever he wants with the golf ball. “I think given how it played last time, certainly if the wind is up, it suits European players. “But Rory is world-class – he can play on any golf course. “And I think it would be good for the game if he starts winning Majors again.” Strong winds blew McIlroy to a second-round 75 in 2012 and a Saturday thunderstorm saw the third round not completed until Sunday. Then the War on the Shore at the 1991 Ryder Cup venue was with Mother Nature. But the Ulsterman, then 23, played his final two rounds in a remarkable 11 under par. “I shot a couple of 68s over the weekend in challenging winds and I was still eight shots behind at the end,” recalled Lynn. “He played some serious golf to get that score.” After playing a season on the PGA Tour, Lynn, 47, ended his career at the end of 2014. “I know it says I retired because of tendonitis but I didn’t,” he said. “I did have tendonitis but I just decided to stop. I’d just fallen out of love with the game a long time before.” ❱ sky sports 3 holes to fear The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island will be the longest in Major history, stretching for 7,876 yards along the Atlantic Coast. David Lynn recorded his best finish in a Major by finishing second – and now recalls the best holes on the South Carolina course. No.11 Par 5 582 yards This is a snakey hole and you have to hit the fairway off the tee. I don’t recall getting to the green in two in any of the rounds. No.12 Par 4 466 TOUGH: The 11th yards A strong par four with water down the right. I remember the wind pumping in off the left – you cannot miss a shot there. No.17 Par 3 221 yards You can’t talk about Kiawah Island without talking about 17 (below). We saw how dramatic it can be in the Ryder Cup all those years ago with the wind in off the left towards the water. Playing the back nine on Sunday it is one of those holes on your mind. A great hole and one where there will be drama. BACK IN FULL SWING: Rory McIlroy has been tipped for victory at Kiawah Island Golden oldie Bland’s living the dream at last RICHARD BLAND made “the dream come true” by becoming the oldest first-time winner on the European Tour. And he revealed fellow pro David Howell had told him during the Betfred British Masters that he had dreamed he would finally win a tournament. Bland (left), 48, who turned pro back in1996, lifted a title at the 478th attempt by beating Italian Guido Migliozzi in a nerve-jangling Belfry play-off. He said: “It is what I worked for for 20 years. I am just pleased I proved to myself that I can do it. “After the first round, Howler said, ‘I had a dream you won a tournament’. So I kept saying to myself: ‘Just make the dream come true’. Bland carded a final-round 66 to finish 13 under. Playing the 18th in a suddendeath playoff, Migliozzi missed his par putt from eight feet and Bland rolled home from two feet. NEIL McLEMAN Murray sticks to grass JUST GR-EIGHT FOR VICTOR ANDY MURRAY has pulled out of the French Open to focus on Wimbledon. The Scot reported “a bit of discomfort” after playing on clay last week and will now prepare for the grass court season. The double Olympic ■■TENNIS champion – who turned 34 yesterday – had gone to the Rome Masters for practice and then played two doubles matches with Liam Broady. He decided to turn down a late wildcard to play singles in next week’s Geneva Open. Meanwhile, Rafa Nadal will play Novak Djokovic in the Men’s Singles final in Rome. Nadal beat Reilly Opelka 6-4 6-4 and Djokovic saw off Lorenzo Sonego 6-3 6-7 6-2. Victor Lafay claimed his first stage victory as professional on stage eight of the Giro d’Italia.

Ewan was leading the points classification after winning stages five and seven, with the second win coming on Friday. 39 Root is weeded out short ■■COUNTY CRICKET Joe Root was out for 99 as Yorkshire took a first-innings lead on day three at Glamorgan. The England skipper (below) and Steven Patterson blunted the Welsh side’s attack, on a pitch that has been hard work for batsmen. Patterson finished unbeaten on 47 as Yorkshire were bowled out for 230 in reply to the home side’s first innings 149 all out. Michael Neser claimed a five-wicket haul on his home debut for Glamorgan, who then lost three quick second innings wickets before David Lloyd and Kiran Carlson took them to 108 for three at the close, a lead of 27. The only disappointment for Yorkshire was Root missing out on what would have been his 32nd first-class hundred – the first time he has been dismissed on 99. England quids in with Jof ■■by RICHARD EDWARDS He may have missed out on a mega IPL payday due to injury but Jofra Archer’s absence from the mega-bucks competition could pay off handsomely for England. That’s the view of Paddy Upton, Archer’s former coach for the Rajasthan Royals. The England pace ace (below) made his return to action with Sussex in the County Championship at Hove on Thursday. And he took two wickets in his first four overs against Kent. But with a huge year in front of him, including the T20 World Cup and the Ashes Down Under, Upton believes he still needs to be treated with kid gloves. “The IPL is incredibly emotionally and physically draining,” said Upton. “You don’t get a lot of rest and recovery. “He should be far fresher than he might otherwise have been.”

Six days before taking on Montpellier in the European Challenge Cup Final, Genge (below) was at his fiery best in front of watching national boss Eddie Jones. He crossed twice in a dominant opening half in which he was also sent to the sin bin. And when the Tigers brought him off early to save his legs for Twickenham, Quins rallied from 35-12 down with three late tries. “If we play like we did in that second half it won’t be much of a game next week,” said Leicester boss Steve Borthwick. Ben Morris was sent off for leading with his head but Wasps were still able to claim a 23-19 win against Worcester. Brad Shields and Tommy Taylor scored tries.

The Frenchman, 22, saved his best until last yesterday as he powered his Monster Energy Yamaha over the line with a 1min 32.600sec lap to snatch the top spot from team-mate Maverick Vinales. “This was the qualifying I was the most nervous for, not because it’s in France,” Quartararo (above) said. “I saw it was dry and knew it was time for slicks, then on that last lap I was thinking, ‘Okay, now is my time to send it and do my best. I either get front row or I crash.’ “There were some wet patches in the last sector. “I was sideways everywhere but we made it. The goal was front row, pole is even better.” ZOE BURN Sam Eggington plans to batter veteran Mexican Carlos Molina to the moon and back to stake a world title shot claim. Egginton takes on Molina, 37, for the vacant WBC silver middleweight title in Coventry on Saturday. Victory will see him push for a top-five ranked opponent in his next outing – if not a title shot – at middleweight or super-welterweight. “Molina’s going to be tricky and experienced, you don’t go through 50 fights not being knocked out for no reason,” said Eggington, 27. “But at one point I will get to him.” Heavily tattooed Eggington will add to his vast collection after this fight, although not with a permanent version of the Henna tattoo he tried based on those from the film Savages (above). He added: “The first tattoo I got was my son’s name, and then it was my other son’s name, and it just built up. “I used to read to my kids and at the end say, ‘Love you to the moon and back’, and I’ve got that on my back. “I’m not getting the face one done, though.

Youtube sensations the Paul brothers, Jake and Logan, have both stepped into the ring recently with the former knocking out MMA star Ben Askren in a bout last month.

For now it’s great for the hype machine but it’s just not professional boxing in any way.” Asked why Mayweather would entertain being involved with either of the crossover stars, Bellew (left) says the answer is simple. “Floyd is a man all about money, he is named ‘Money Mayweather’ – nothing is going to embarrass Floyd,” he added. “In the ring he’s going to absolutely play with this boy. It’s crazy to think he’s doing it but why not for 20 to 30 million quid for beating up a kid who’s never really boxed?

SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 41 rugby league brown’s a dare devil Kev: We’ll fire against big guns KEVIN BROWN has come out fighting for struggling Salford ahead of a nightmare run of games. The Red Devils have won only once in Super League and last year’s Wembley finalists also got knocked out of the Challenge Cup last weekend. Lying in wait for them tomorrow are unbeaten Super League champions St Helens, followed over the next 10 days by big-hitters Wigan and Warrington. But Brown – at 36 the oldest player in the competition – has warned doubters to write his side off at their peril. The half-back said: “If results were poor and performances were getting worse then I would be really worried. “But our performances are getting better and I am confident results will come regardless of who we are playing. Sometimes you can look at st helens v salford tomorrow ❱ 7.45pm ■■by JULIE STOTT runs of fixtures and be worried, but I prefer to think this might be the perfect time to get some results.” Salford’s solitary league win came against bottom side Leigh last month and they have since pushed Castleford close in both competitions. New coach Richard Marshall (left) has big boots to fill following Ian Watson’s success in taking unfancied Salford to the Challenge Cup Final and Grand Final in the last two years. But Brown is convinced he’s not far away from making the Red Devils click, adding: “The players are fully buying into what the coach is delivering. “He’s not the one who drops the ball and gives away penalties. Everything the coach is doing is good so we are not using that as an excuse.” Salford’s indiscipline has cost them dearly in several games and Brown admits it’s a problem they need to solve. He said: “Sometimes one error leads to another one because of frustration and it starts to affect you mentally. “But we are attacking it in a positive way from now on. If someone does make an error then we have get behind them and stop it snowballing. “We have quite a senior group of players. We cannot look for excuses or start blaming people.” Meanwhile, Saints boss Kristian Woolf is convinced the return of fans will make his side even more dangerous. He said: “We have got used to empty grounds and having to create our own atmosphere. “But at the end of the day, the players love playing in front of the fans and love the roar of the crowd when things go well.” fans-tastic The Government is allowing some fans back into venues from tomorrow when up to 10,000 fans or 25 per cent of a stadium’s capacity are allowed in.

The giant Samoa international, 28, rarely gets the headlines but coach Brett Hodgson is convinced he’s key to their success. Hodgson said: “Our outside backs get the praise and I was proud of what Chris Satae did at the weekend – but he doesn’t do that without Ligi Sao. “Ligi has been the rock in the middle who allows other people to do what they do.” Jake Connor and Brad Fash return from suspension for Hull.

But the Castleford full-back, 27, says the competition from the likes of Zak Hardaker, Sam Tomkins and Jake Connor can only be good for him. He said: “It drives me to reach new standards. “Good performances will dictate if I get my name in front.

ROBBIE MULHERN says he’s soaking up as many front-row lessons as he can – but admits fans may never realise it. The Warrington prop, who spent the last five years at Hull KR, is thriving under the leadership of veteran stars Chris Hill and Mike Cooper. He said: “They are both international props so it was always going to be great for me. “I pick up things every game because they have a wealth of experience. “It’s little subtle things that might go unnoticed because fans love to see big hits and runs.”

MAN CITY boss Pep Guardiola could be forgiven for spending his summer doing nothing more taxing than polishing the diamond he’s unearthed. romelu lukaku Police raided the birthday party of the Inter Milan frontman and then fined more than 20 guests for breaching Covid-19 rules. What a shame – and what a berk. mike brown simona halep Wimbledon champion tore a calf muscle during the Italian Open and could now miss the French Open, which starts at the end of this month. @CROSSYDAILYSTAR star pair can make champs invincible good week bad week England international saw his 16-year stint at Harlequins end in shame after being handed a six-week ban for a stamp in a game against Wasps. cross POINTING THE WAY: Pep Guardiola has a clear idea of how he can take City to the next level Most people find it difficult to see how he can make the gem he’s created sparkle even more than it has done this season. But Guardiola is not like most people. The man with an addiction to winning and relentless drive for continued success knows he cannot sit back and marvel at his work. Like many proven winners before him, Guardiola knows when rivals look beaten and broken the next thing to do is stamp down even harder to pile even more pain on them. The Spaniard will also know that even the best cannot stand still and have to evolve. Scaling the mountain is one thing, but continuing to sit at the top looking down on the rest is another challenge altogether. For evidence of that just look at Liverpool this season. To do this Guardiola must avoid repeating some of the mistakes he has made in the past. Even this genius is not perfect, as he proved in 2019 when failing to replace Vincent Kompany. This left City vulnerable in defence and look what happened next? Liverpool strode to their first league title in three decades, having also won the Champions League. The hole was eventually filled last summer by Ruben Dias, who arrived from Benfica for a club-record fee of £65million and went on to become the bedrock of City’s latest title triumph. But now Guardiola has two more missing pieces of the jigsaw to find again if City are to continue their assault on domestic and European dominance. Sergio Aguero needs replacing (good luck with that, Pep) while midfield maestro Fernandinho, 36, is also expected to leave The Etihad this summer. Guardiola has now won nine league titles in his last 12 seasons as a boss, but finding the reasons why is not rocket science. The best coach in the world has worked with the best players in the world, because it’s the law of champions to add power from a position of strength. Last week, City owner Sheikh Mansour told Guardiola he wanted to see even more trophies arrive in east Manchester. Guardiola’s message in return should be swift and simple: “Fine, sign me Erling Haaland and Declan Rice boss, and your wish is my command.” Guardiola’s legacy is now assured, but it’s a dynasty he wants to create and to do this he needs to be working with the best in the business if he is to keep his wounded rivals at arm’s length. If he can persuade Mansour to dip into his billions again and lure Haaland and Rice from Dortmund and West Ham, it’s difficult to see how the status quo can be changed, no matter how good Thomas Tuchel proves at Chelsea. WANTED: Haaland MOVE? Rice Just saint right to heap praise on Van Dijk WAIT: Van Dijk VIRGIL van Dijk has been lauded as some sort of saint for turning his back on the Euros to focus on being fit for Liverpool next season. The Dutch giant has ruled out captaining Holland this summer as he continues his rehabilitation from the cruciate ligament injury that wrecked his campaign. He said: “I have come to a decision that I had to make. “With everything that is going on, I feel physically it is the right decision that I’ve decided not to go to the Euros. “The full focus will be on pre-season with the club and that’s a realistic goal. I am gutted to miss the Euros but I’m at peace with it.” So in an outbreak of common sense, morality and priorities, Van Dijk has put his club before country. The same club that pays him £220,000 a week and has funded his astronomical medical bills since October. These are not the actions of a saint. These are the actions of someone who has shown loyalty to those who employ him. Van Dijk hasn’t reinvented the wheel or threatened to replace Mother Teresa, he’s just done the right thing.

But after adding the title to the through society. Champions League Final team. will be an incredibly tough decision for Guardiola insists the battle to start against Chelsea in Porto on May 29 begins now after they clinched his No.1 priority by winning the Premier League in midweek. The Catalan knows City have the brilliance to become European champions for the first time – but has now challenged them to prove who has the bottle to make history. Guardiola said: “I have an idea of my team because I know exactly how they all play. “We have to start to prepare ourselves to compete in the best possible condition against Chelsea in the games we have to play before the final. “They all want it – and they will kill me, but I have to analyse the opponent and then decide. “It’s tough (telling players) in a Premier League game, so can you imagine a Champions League Final? “I have good relationships with the players but in the end this is a business. “This is a job. I’m sorry. Not everyone can play. I am going to observe the two games and the training sessions. “I have to see the way I want to play, the way I want to defend, the mentality of the players, the guys who handle the pressure better than the other ones. “And in that moment I will try to be honest with myself and the team and make the best selection possible.” City have been beaten twice in a Carabao Cup, their manager has no doubts about the quality of his squad. The Champions League is seen as the pinnacle by City’s owners but Guardiola regards domestic dominance as the true measure of a team. He said: “We are delighted to be champions but what makes us incredibly happy is that we have won five in 10 years and three in the last four. “This means more than winning in one situation. “Saying that, of course we are going to try to compete and win the Champions League. “These guys are huge competitors and they want to do it. “But I admire the human beings who “Wake up and do your best. Afterwards you can win or you can lose. “The Premier League is all about working hard every day. “It is about going to Newcastle to win. It is about going to Crystal Palace to win – going to Anfield and this season finally we win. “But I know the players want to be the best team in Europe, so how can I say it is not important? “But for me, it is more important to fight for 11 months of the season than just six or seven games. “This is what I think.

Former Real striker Raul is the most likely candidate after enjoying success with the youth team but Ancelotti (above), who led them to Champions League glory in 2014, is still admired at the club while Max Allegri is under consideration as well.

SS1ST 44 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 FA CUP FINAL Pogba’s United deal hits the skids From Back Page demands are proving a major stumbling block to him staying at Old Trafford. Talks are believed to have already started, with the star’s agent Mino Raiola wanting in excess of £400,000 a week for the French World Cup winner to sign a new deal. United are conflicted on what course to take, with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wanting to keep Pogba on board. However, the club’s money-men are said to be looking at all options as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic continues to hit finances. And they have told Solskjaer they won’t have a gun held to their head. Pogba’s market value is around £55million but that would be a £34m drop after United signed the midfielder, 28, for £89m from Juventus in 2016. Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are both struggling financially, while Pogba’s former club Juventus aren’t guaranteed to even be in the Champions League next season. Only Paris SaintGermain could afford Pogba’s fee and wages. But it’s believed Pogba isn’t against staying at Old Trafford, despite Raiola claiming last year he was “unhappy”. The danger is his agent may press him to run down his contract and leave for free next summer, enabling him to pocket a huge signing-on fee worth up to £20m. By then he would be 29 and it could be seen as a calculated gamble. But United’s top brass are fearing Raiola again has the upper hand in negotiations. simply the best Stepney’s memories of united legend George See Result!

BIG DECISION: Referee Michael Oliver ruled out equaliser In the build-up to this FA Cup Final, the Chelsea boss had joked that he could walk on air. And considering the job he’s done since taking charge at Stamford Bridge, some people could be forgiven for thinking this might be the actual truth. Nothing has seemed beyond him. Since replacing Frank Lampard barely four months ago, Tuchel has led Chelsea from ninth to fourth in the table and to two finals, including this one and the Champions League showpiece in Porto on May 29. In the process he’s beaten Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane and both Diego Simeone and the great Pep Guardiola twice. He puts his success down to a mixture of meditation and levitation when he said: “It is 20 minutes or so of breathing in and out and trying hard to do nothing. “Normally, I float 20 or 30 centimetres off the floor and glide around the room!” Now the German genius has suffered his first fall as Chelsea boss – and while the distance might not appear to be too great, the crash landing is sure to hurt like hell. Considering the illustrious names Tuchel had swatted aside with disdain in recent weeks, poor old Brendan Rodgers shouldn’t have stood a chance. Tuchel even had the cheek to walk out for the most famous game in club football in a tracksuit and puffer jacket. But in the end it was Rodgers, sporting a smart suit and trendy black pumps, who proved to be the man dressed for success. The one with all the gear and full of ideas. Tuchel has fashioned a reputation for being a ‘professor’ of the game, someone who has gone from pulling pints behind a bar to raising it when it comes to succeeding in management. But even someone as studious and obsessive as him couldn’t have foreseen a thunderbolt appearing from nowhere to smack him in the face and help speed up his return to the old terra firma. That’s what Youri Tielemans provided with his sensational second-half strike to seal a famous triumph for the underdogs from Leicester. What Tuchel will realise once the smelling salts kick in and he awakes from his nightmare, is that there’s nothing quite as fickle as football. And if he still doesn’t get it, there will be the perfect person waiting to remind him in the shape of his boss, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. Tuchel was supposed to have become the first German manager to win the FA Cup. But considering the last five bosses to have lifted the trophy with Chelsea have all been sacked within 12 months of their triumph, this result could still prove a blessing in disguise. The truth is Chelsea dominated for long

And even the most ardent fan had to admit Tielemans’ goal was worthy of winning any game. But there is still the biggest prize of all up for grabs in two weeks’ time – and Tuchel will be back SEE RESULT! doing his best dynamo PAGES impression again should he 2-3 turn Chelsea into the kings of MATCH REPORT Europe. If that happens then this experience of utter despair will be long forgotten. And the question will have to be asked of the man who calls all the shots. Could Tuchel become the first manager of Chelsea to break with tradition and make Abramovich become bored of his obsession with his favourite game – Russian roulette? Since Abramovich took ownership at Stamford Bridge in 2003, Claudio Ranieri has been the longest-serving boss – and he only lasted three years and eight months at the Bridge! Yet Tuchel has it in him to take on Guardiola as well as build a dynasty in west London. Abramovich was not at Wembley last night, but will be in Porto at the end of this month when the stakes will be higher than ever. Not for him, but for the latest man to find himself in the hottest seat in English football. JURGEN KLOPP has dropped a bombshell by claiming Virgil van Dijk might not be fit for Liverpool’s pre-season. Van Dijk has been pictured running again at Liverpool’s new Kirby training centre after suffering serious cruciate knee ligament damage in the Merseyside derby with Everton at Goodison Park last October. The Holland star has ruled out captaining his country at the Euros this summer in order to get fit for the next Premier League campaign. But Klopp insists Van Dijk’s return date is still a long time away. “Our new season will start in the summer with pre-season and it’s still not certain the three guys – Virgil, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez – will start the pre-season,” he said. “Step by step we will hopefully get the guys back – but we will need the other centre-halves in pre-season.” Klopp was responding to the prospect of stand-in defenders Nat Phillips, Ozan Kabak and Reece Williams melting back into the Anfield shadows once Klopp’s big three return. But the German boss insists the trio still have a big future at the club – and it’s not the end of the road at Liverpool when Van Dijk and Co return. “All the boys who have come in did incredibly well,” he added. “Ozan (Kabak) came in and played a super part for us – Nat for weeks already and Reece mainly in the Champions League. “Nat was not on the Champions League list so we had to figure that out to make sure at least one of the two could play. “Both will have a proper career ahead. When you are at an academy that is not written in stone. “But now they have been able to show how good they are.” WEST BROM V LIVERPOOL PREVIEW: See RESULT! Page 13
46 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 SS1ST FA CUP FINAL UNHAPPY: Thomas Tuchel Tuch of bad luck cost us chance ■■by HARRY PRATT Thomas Tuchel was down but far from out as he claimed Chelsea were robbed of FA Cup glory against Leicester. After watching his Blues crash at Wembley to Youri Tielemans’ sizzling second-half bullet – and have a late equaliser ruled out by VAR – the German was far from pleased. But he refused to criticise his troops following the club’s second cup final defeat in as many seasons. Tuchel said: “We were just unlucky – super unlucky. I don’t see why we should lose this final to a shot out of nothing. “We did not allow any other chances against us all game. “Their keeper made a big save at the end and we had a goal a little offside. This can happen in a final. You need luck in key moments. “We’re disappointed but we’ve no need to be unhappy with anybody. “If that late goal had counted, we could be looking at it very differently. “We were a little bit hectic in our decision making with the many situations we created. “Maybe we wanted it too much but we dominated the second half.” Apart from the Champions League final in two weeks’ time against Manchester City, Chelsea are also still chasing a top-four finish. Next up in the Premier League is a trip this Tuesday to Leicester, who are a point ahead of them. Tuchel added: “I’ll tell you what difference this defeat makes to that game after we play it. “I just don’t know. “We have two more finals – one against Leicester and one against City in the Champions League.” man of stiele!

SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, May 16, 2021 47 chelsea..........0 leicester.....1 ❱ Tielemans 63 verdict by Neil Squires big-match If Leicester City fans are at Wembley every year until 2073 they are still unlikely to witness a strike as pure as the one unleashed by Youri Tielemans yesterday. shilling and pence. Glory still has its place The searing rocket from the brilliant Belgian which threatened to torch the net behind Kepa made the 52-year wait since the club’s last appearance in an FA Cup Final almost worth the wait. For the lucky Leicester fans who watched slack-jawed at their end it was a moment of pure bliss. For Tielemans and the Foxes’ players able to celebrate with them as they bounced in front of them it was a euphoric reminder of shared pleasures we have missed this past year. Football really isn’t football without fans and the 21,000 inside Wembley gave the final a terrific lift. The image presented to the 46 countries screening the grandest of games will have been of a country rising back to its feet. The ticket split was 6,250 for each club, with the remainder made up of local residents, key workers and various FA guests. They included Ben Kay, the groundsman who – along with his staff – slept on the frosty Chorley pitch, pouring boiling kettles of water on to the frozen parts, to ensure the third round tie against Derby could go ahead back in January. The final was act one of a two-part drama that will continue on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge, a repeat which will have a huge bearing on who makes it into next s eason’s Champions League. The club accountants would circle the midweek clash as the more important, with £50million or so riding on qualification compared to £1.8m for the winners yesterday. But the events of the past few weeks with the abortive Super League project have underlined that, thankfully, there is much more to football than pounds, and the scenes as Michael Oliver blew his final whistle yesterday underlined as much. Whatever the result in midweek, you will not see players from both teams prostrate on the turf at the end, ecstatic and broken in equal measure. After so much football with so many empty spaces, there was a real sense of occasion about this FA Cup Final, the 140th in the competition’s history. The wander down Wembley Way, the Band of the Coldstream Guards, the singing of Abide With Me – they were old staples but the renewal of these traditions felt like a heartening nudge back towards normality. The sea of scarves for the Cup final hymn was a peculiarly emotive picture with it sung in honour of those lost to the pandemic. Of course it wasn’t quite the old normal. Fans had to pass their lateral flow tests to get in and there were no under-16s allowed but the new normal still felt raucous, visceral and alive. The players were undoubtedly lifted to have fans back. Jamie Vardy even stuck his tongue out at the Chelsea contingent after making a sliding tackle in front of them. They returned the compliment with a ribbing for the Leicester striker when Reece James outmuscled him. The loss of Jonny Evans after half-an-hour silenced the Leicester end. But with Wesley Fofana rising like a young lion to the adversity in the City defence the underdogs refused to buckle. As hope rose so did the noise and when Tielemans struck the Leicester contingent exploded. Consternation from the Chelsea end as Kasper Schmeichel produced two seismic saves turned to exasperation as Antonio Rudiger hit and hoped and then resignation as the final slipped away. JESTERS FROM LEICESTER: Fans back down Wembley way and in the stadium 5great cup final goals PROUD: Brendan Rodgers SLAM: Gerrard’s winner in 2006 DOUBLE WHAMMY: Owen in 2001 and Di Matteo in 1997 BRIGHT-SIDE: Storming Norman in ’85 Youri Tielemans’ 25-yard, top-corner screamer shot straight into the top 10 of the FA Cup final’s greatest goals. But where it is placed depends on your personal viewpoint. Steven Gerrard’s laser-guided left-foot leveller for Liverpool against West Ham in 2006 – on the volley – is always up there, as is Michael Owen’s sprint and angled left-footed winner against Arsenal in 2001. Roberto Di Matteo’s stonking strike off the underside of the crossbar – just 45 seconds in – for Chelsea against Middlesbrough in 1997 has its admirers, as does Norman Whiteside’s curling effort to help 10-man Manchester United beat Everton in 1985. But few argue with the cup final’s greatest ever goal coming from the right foot of Ricky Villa for Spurs in 1981, dipping his shoulder and weaving his way past five Manchester City players in a mazy 40-yard dribble before slotting the ball past an outrushing Joe Corrigan. Fittingly, just like Tielemans’ effort, it was the winning goal. DAVID PRENTICE TOP OF THE SHOP: Ricky Villa’s goal for Spurs in 1981 after a magical mazy dribble Rodgers hails his historic heroes From Back Page to the owners and the fans is so special. I’m so proud for the board, the players and the supporters. “It’s an amazing day for the city. The success of this team and club is getting to positions like this and competing against the so-called bigger clubs. “They were expected to win but our success is competing and always fighting. “If we can perform like today we can go and win – what a day for everyone involved with Leicester.” Rodgers joins Sir Alex Ferguson as the only manager to win the cup north and south of the border. The ex-Celtic boss singled out Tielemans for his breathtaking goal and keeper Kasper Schmeichel for a stunning save at the death from Mason Mount. Rodgers added: “Youri’s goal was like an old-school cup-winner but also Kasper’s save was world class. “Those are the special moments you need in finals. “Overall, we were the better team, super aggressive. Chelsea are an amazing team, that’s why they’re in a Champions League final – but we deserved it.” On what it means to join Fergie in the record books, Rodgers said: “It’s very special. “I’ve been in six finals before and won them all – today is the seventh and it’s the FA Cup so it’s truly special.” Match-winner Tielemans, 24, paid tribute to the Leicester fans inside Wembley to witness his historic goal. The Foxes midfielder added: “It was really special to have them in today. “To score in the final – and what a goal it was – makes me very happy.”

There have been many spectacular moments – and goals – in the illustrious history of the world’s most famous domestic cup competition. But very few can rival the 25-yard rocket from silky Belgium midfielder Tielemans that ensured four-time runners-up City finally got their hands on this famous trophy. If that fantastic finish was fit to grace any occasion, the VAR intervention that then ruled out a Chelsea last-gasp equaliser was equally dramatic. They appeared to have sent a gripping contest into extra-time after a goalmouth scramble – only to be By Harry Pratt At Wembley ruled inches offside. And that sent the Leicester faithful at the other end of the stadium into pure, unadulterated ecstasy. Again. The scenes at the final whistle were simply astonishing. What a sight to behold. For Brendan Rodgers’ heroes, that is. Eight-time cup winners Chelsea and their boss Thomas Tuchel now have to gather their senses and go again – in the Champions League Final against a Manchester City. Both clubs arrived here, along with 21,000 supporters, with potentially sensational campaigns on a knife-edge. Apart from trying to win here, Leicester were also in control of their destiny in the Premier League top-four race. Only just, mind, after Tuesday’s 3-1 victory at Manchester United put them into third place – a point clear of Chelsea. That Champions League qualification picture should be clearer come Tuesday night when the Foxes host the Blues in the Premier League. Talk about two crunch outings coming at once! But if the prize of competing with Europe’s elite is significant, yesterday was all about the glory of grabbing silverware. The Foxes kicked off at almost full

The incredible atmosphere sparked a frenetic opening period. The adrenaline pumping through the players was obvious and meant neither side settled. That showed as it took until the 16th minute for the first opportunity to arrive. It fell to Leicester hitman Jamie Vardy when Timothy Castagne outpaced Alonso and crossed but the veteran forward’s goal-bound effort was blocked by Reece James. Four minutes later, City defender Caglar Soyuncu flashed a header over as the Midlands men threatened to take a grip. Time for irrepressible Mason Mount to wrestle 7 5 Iheanacho to light up Wembley some control back for the Blues – and the England ace almost did that when shooting narrowly wide. Suddenly Chelsea were enjoying themselves. Timo Werner blazed over – much to Tuchel’s fury – before the German striker was a whisker from heading in Thiago Silva’s cross. Moments later Evans went down. The ankle injury had returned and off he went. A heated conclusion to the half was littered with fierce challenges. Wesley Fofana was booked for clattering Werner. The striker was then booked for returning the compliment. Werner’s speed was causing problems but, fortunately for Leicester, his inability to finish persisted as he slashed off target again. Rodgers’ men flew out of the blocks after the break, 6 no doubt buoyed by attacking towards their own fans. And within 18 minutes, those same supporters were going crazy as they watched Tielemans’ rocket fly into the far corner. It was not quite over, though. Firstly, Foxes skipper Kasper Schmeichel somehow kept out Mount’s low drive with a truly world-class fingertip stop. Then Chilwell, on as sub, nipped into to cause complete chaos in the Foxes six-yard box and in flew the ball amid a mad scramble.

And the Blues boss is far too scared to go back to see her now. Her former PE teacher recommended Hayes have her cards read when she agonised over a choice of three jobs in 2008 – Arsenal Ladies, Chicago Red Stars and St Louis. The mystic said she would “build a legacy at Chelsea”. It was four more years before she was asked out of the blue to go to Stamford Bridge. Hayes (below) accepted instantly. “My PE teacher recommended the reading,” she said. “It was her clairvoyant but I’ve never ever been back. She always says I should. “I’d be too afraid of what else – I don’t want to go any further into the future, I’ve got enough on my hands.” After four league titles and four domestic cup successes, the fortune teller can probably claim that as a successful reading. Now, against Barcelona in Gothenburg tonight, Chelsea could become only the second English winners of the By Matthew Dunn Women’s Champions League after Arsenal. But even without that, the work she has done to help raise the profile of the women’s side of the sport means the legacy is well and truly built. “I left the training ground the other day as one car drove in with a little girl somewhere between 10 and 12,” said Hayes, 43. “She’s in the front of her car with her dad and there was just this huge wave towards me. “I thought, ‘I’ve been driving out of this gate nine years and I didn’t get that wave before’. “Then another car came in, exactly the same thing happened. “I got to almost the exit of Cobham and I got a third one. “I remember thinking, ‘My goodness, these little girls are watching our game’. They have role models, women to look up to. “They sprinted home to watch our game from wherever they were. And why? “Because it’s on the telly every week. It’s in the papers in front pages, it’s on BBC News and even ITV. “Although, like my mum said to me on Monday after we won the Women’s Super League, it still wasn’t enough coverage today. “And she’s right – so we’ve still got some work to do.” Jenni’s out to block hotshot Chelsea trio JENNI HERMOSO and her Barcelona team-mates are on a mission to stop Chelsea trio Pernille Harder, Samantha Kerr and Fran Kirby – and move another step closer to the Treble.

But three minutes later Said Benrahma curled home from 20 yards – his first Hammers goal – to level. But a point does not look enough for West Ham, who are a point behind fourth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand. There was good news for Moyes in that Declan Rice (right) was back – great for his club and England.

But the Hammers really needed to win all of their last three matches to By Hector Nunns At the Amex Stadium have any chance of overhauling Leicester, Chelsea and Liverpool. And by failing to win on the south coast they may even now miss out on the Europa League places. Brighton’s safety was confirmed when Fulham lost to Burnley on Monday – and it has been both an exhilarating and frustrating season for the Seagulls. One of the main culprits for wasted chances – Neal Maupay – was not available for selection last night having been sent off in the recent defeat at Wolves. And boss Potter had to reshuffle at the back, too, to cope without captain Lewis Dunk, who also saw red at Molineux. Pascal Gross, deputising as skipper for Dunk, was deployed in an unusual right wing-back role for the home side. And on the overlap after 12 minutes he sent one cross fizzing in to the area but no one was there to get on the end of it. But West Ham always looked dangerous, with Jesse Lingard finding space in front of the Brighton back three and picking out the wide men. Brighton’s in-demand Mali international midfielder Yves Bissouma escaped a booking and even the award of a foul for a sturdy tackle on Lingard. However he did receive a yellow card shortly after for another challenge on the same player – and shortly after Craig Dawson just failed to connect properly with an Aaron Cresswell corner. And Cresswell put in another quality delivery that Michail Antonio could not divert on target. On 32 minutes Antonio got it all wrong trying to head the ball back into the six-yard box instead of on goal – but the striker was saved by an offside flag. Pablo Fornals brilliantly created an opening for himself but was tackled in the area. But West Ham looked nailed on to take the lead in the 41st minute. Cresswell picked out Fornals, but from eight yards his effort was blocked on the line. And in a blistering five minutes before half-time for the visitors Tomas Soucek’s 20-yard effort was then saved by Robert Sanchez. After the break Antonio fired over and Jarrod Bowen’s cross was just cleared after a threatening run into the box. But in a brighter spell the Seagulls went close through Alireza Jahanbakhsh’s angled drive. Then came the goals flurry as Welbeck then Benrahma struck in the space of three minutes – but it will feel like a loss to Moyes.

6 SS1ST Result! Big Dych-isions to Premier League make at Turf Moor Sean Dyche is in talks over a new contract at Burnley as a summer of Premier League managerial changes looms. And in most of them it’s the gravel-voiced Turf Moor boss who gets an honourable mention in the respective boardrooms. It’s an open secret that Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish is an admirer of the division’s longestserving boss, now well into his ninth year of miracle working. If Steve Bruce was to abandon ship at Newcastle then owner Mike Ashley wouldn’t be slow to register an interest in Dyche, 46 (above), universally regarded as the main reason Burnley can look forward to a sixth consecutive season among the elite. There will never be a shortage of offers for a man idolised by the Lancashire club’s fans and who has a pub near the ground, The Royal Dyche, named after ❱ Klich 44, Harrison 60, Rodrigo 77, 79 By JOHN RICHARDSON him. New owner Alan Pace is desperate that it’s not last orders for his talismanic boss who has just 12 months of his contract to run. That’s why sorting out a new one – and his current one is worth around £70,000 a week – is the priority. And while Pace and his American consortium are at it they would do well to secure funds for a summer transfer spree. Dyche isn’t asking for a massive overhaul but would like two or three signings. He and the board also have a big decision to make over defender James Tarkowski, the subject of interest last summer from West Ham and Leicester. His contract has just 12 months to run and he has so far refused to sign a new one. England keeper Nick Pope also has admirers along with winger Dwight McNeil. German fans mad for Marcelo’s men Robin Koch has revealed that the Leeds United fan base has now extended to his native Germany thanks to their sense of adventure. The attackingwithout-fear philosophy preached by boss Marcelo Bielsa has won them many admirers across the world of football. It was the gameplan that convinced the German international, 24, to move to Elland Road from Freiburg last summer for a fee of £13million. A central defender who has also featured in the holding midfielder role, Koch (above) said: “I’ve had a lot of messages from friends and other players in Germany saying how much they love watching our games. “They say they are fun and are always good games. I don’t think you can get a better compliment than that. “I think we showed what we were about Burnley....0 Leeds.........4 By JOHN RICHARDSON from the first game even though we ended up losing it 4-3 to Liverpool.” Koch, who will feature in this summer’s Euros, admits that he has never felt fitter, largely as a result of Bielsa’s ‘Murderball’ sessions where the ball is constantly in play for intensive periods. “My first experience of it was really hard,” he said. “I’m getting used to it now after almost a season. At first I felt really bad after training. My body was low. It’s football without stopping. “It’s why we are able to push ourselves to the limit in every game. It’s been good because we haven’t had the fear of relegation hanging over us. “I always felt the Premier League would be the next step for me. Working with Marcelo was one of the main points in me choosing Leeds.” ■ JACK THE GLAD: Happy Harrison match stats Burnley Leeds 4 8 4 6 10 2 1 0 76 12 67 48 ■ HOT ROD: Rodrigo scores Leeds’ fourth goal Shots on target Shots off target Blocked shots Corners Fouls Offsides Yellow cards Red cards Passing success % Tackles Tackles won % Possession % 6 5 5 8 10 6 1 0 76 10 60 52 Jack an ace harrison at heart of rout This was another four-midable display from Marcelo Bielsa’s troupe of entertainers. Forget them if you fill in the football pools every week because they haven’t drawn a single game on their travels. It’s nine wins and nine defeats – there’s no safety net with this bunch of buccaneers as Burnley discovered as this meltdown set an unwanted club record of nine consecutive home league games without a victory in topflight football. Not a happy place for Sean Dyche’s side but ecstasy for Leeds boss Bielsa as his players went on the rampage. It was a slow burner and his team could have expected a half-time Bielsa blast after wasting opportunities before Mateusz Klich struck just before the interval, the Polish international curling a wonderful strike into the corner of the net. “It was a great offensive performance in the second half,” said Bielsa. “The players are at a very high level. In the second half we were more efficient.” Matej Vydra By John Richardson At Turf Moor squandered a one-on-one with Illan Meslier, the Leeds keeper sticking out a leg to divert the effort around the post. That proved costly as well for Burnley as an instinctive goal from all-action man Jack Harrison put the skids under the home side. A low drive from Ezgjan Alioksi appeared to be hurtling wide until the Manchester City loanee took over, glancing it into the net with the back of his heel. Harrison was the provider with a lacerating through ball for Rodrigo to move into the area and confidently chip over Bailey Peacock-Farrell to make it 3-0. And the Spaniard wasn’t done, finishing off a brilliantly executed passing move involving Phillips and the electric Harrison. Bielsa added: “It has taken him time to find his real form. But he can be a formidable player and plays for the Spanish side who are a powerhouse.” Not only should Leeds make sure they secure a new contract for their manager they will be aiming to make Harrison’s loan move to Elland Road permanent. For Burnley boss Dyche it’s been a tough season but they can at least look forward to a sixth consecutive season in the Premier League. He said: “They were more clinical. We didn’t have the cutting edge that we needed. It’s hard to ask any more of my players. We had an emotional game against Fulham on Monday and it was a big result.” Burnley: Peacock-Farrell 6; Lowton 6, Tarkowski 6, Mee 6, Taylor 7; Brownhill 6, Cork 6, Westwood 7, McNeil 6 (Gudmundsson (70th) 6); Vydra 7 (Rodriguez (65th) 6), Wood 6 (Barnes (65th) 6) Leeds United: Meslier 7; Ayling 7, Llorente 7, Struijk 6, Alioski 7; Phillips 7; Raphinha 6 (Poveda 81st), Klich 7 (Roberts (76th) 6), Dallas 6, Harrison 8; Bamford 6 (Rodrigo (58th) 8) STAR MAN: Jack Harrison Ref: G Scott Burnley’s next game: Liverpool, Weds (h) Leeds’ next game: Southampton, Tues (a) Alioski is accused of mocking McNeil Burnley have reported Leeds United’s Ezgjan Alioski over a gesture he allegedly made towards Turf Moor winger Dwight McNeil.

The Ibrox boss was doused with bubbly by striker Alfredo Morelos as the Scottish champions finally got their hands on the Premiership trophy. But Gerrard did not mind one bit as his lifelong wait to get his hands on a league winner’s medal was finally satisfied. He has presided over a Rangers line-up that has now written their names into the record books, with this win over Aberdeen sealing an unbeaten campaign. They took the lead in the fifth minute via an own goal by Dons goalkeeper Joe Lewis. Kemar Roofe scored twice, netting in the 34th and 60th minutes, before substitute Jermain Defoe added a fourth goal. But, while his players jubilantly tossed the silverware aloft, the former Liverpool skipper stood back and took it all in. It was the moment when all the pain of his repeated Anfield slip-ups were washed away. And Gerrard said: “I wanted to enjoy this moment because it’s been a long time since I’ve smelled this success and the champagne. “I absolutely stink right now.

The keeper, 35, began his career as a youngster at Old Trafford and has rejected a new contract at Aston Villa – paving the way to move back to Old Trafford. De Gea, who has lost his regular first-team place to Dean Henderson, is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain and former side Atletico Madrid. MASON GREENWOOD is the star benefiting most from Edinson Cavani’s stay at Old Trafford – and it could save Manchester United £150million. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching staff believe Greenwood has all the tools to succeed Cavani as an outand-out centre-forward. And with United being linked to Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland and Tottenham striker Harry Kane – both valued at £150m – Greenwood’s conversion to a central striker is a hot topic at the club’s training complex. Solskjaer is said to be excited at the prospect of him learning from the experienced star for another year after the Uruguayan, 34, recently signed a one-year contract extension. And United’s renewed interest in £90m-rated Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho is thought to be back on the agenda because of Greenwood’s potential to be the club’s future No.9. Steve Bates Exclusive After watching the pair dovetail during training and matches, United’s hierarchy are convinced the youngster is learning from one of the very best. It has emerged that Greenwood, 19, worked closely with the former Paris Saint-Germain forward at United’s Carrington training centre during the last international break after the young star pulled out of the England Under-21s squad. And the teenager’s winning goal against Brighton last month in the match immediately after the international break had all the hallmarks of the South American forward. Paul Scholes spotted the centre-forward potential in Greenwood 18 months ago, comparing him to Robin van Persie. “I think they both have that stylish way about them with that left foot,” said the United legend. “They’re both great finishers, everything seems so smooth. “We talk about United not having number nines but he could be a number nine because of that sheer composure in front of goal. “He just calms himself down and takes a touch.” And it’s not only on the pitch where Solskjaer believes Cavani is having a major influence on Greenwood. Cavani shows the same kind of dedication to looking after his habits and fitness as former United icon Cristiano Ronaldo. And the United boss is certain Greenwood’s close proximity to Cavani is reaping dividends, with the youngster’s sharper focus – and eight goals in his last 12 games – since his troubles with England last year when he and Phil Foden were sent home from Iceland for breaching Covid protocols.
SS1ST george best 75th birthday special & the best May 22nd, 1946 - November 25th, 2005 Old Trafford hero ahead of his time says old pal Alex GEORGE BEST would have ripped it up like no other on today’s perfect, carpet-like pitches. Indeed, one can only imagine how much damage the late, great Manchester United genius might have done to defences in the modern era. After all Best, who would have been 75 on Saturday, produced his breathtaking feats of brilliance for Sir Matt Busby’s all-conquering United outfit in the 60s on heavy mudbaths. Certainly, then-Old Trafford team-mate and fellow 1968 European Cup winner Alex Stepney believes Best would have run riot gliding across the Premier League’s lush lawns. The ex-United keeper said: ”There’s no two ways about it. “When you think what he would have been able to show on today’s pitches, he’d be absolutely incredible to watch. “And I’m not sure the lads today could have done what he did on the old pitches we had.” Highly unlikely but then Belfast-born Best was arguably the finest, most skilful player on the planet during the Swinging Sixties. From the moment he destroyed Benfica in a European Cup quarter-final in May 1966, the Reds forward, just 5ft 8in and 10st 3lbs, became an iconic global superstar. This was when Best, often called the fifth Beatle, served up moments of mercurial magic which defied belief. The 1968 European Footballer of the Year scored 179 times in 470 games for United – all sorts of stunners, too, courtesy of his incomparable ability to swerve past defenders and conjure an out-of-this-world finish. Yet, according to Stepney, many of the seemingly sixth-sense, spontaneous strikes were actually down to the Northern Ireland ace relentlessly studying his rivals. “There were no games on TV so we’d go to Harry Pratt Exclusive watch Man City, Liverpool, Everton and Leeds in midweek,” said the ex-England shot-stopper, with 535 United appearances between 1966 and 1978. “George got this idea in his head that he could see how these teams played at the back and work out how to exploit them with his pace and skill. “Then he’d get me in goal and our defenders to do what he’d seen these other teams doing. It was remarkable how much he thought about the opposition. “That game in Benfica was the turning point in his career. The manager just let him go and play how he wanted after that. “George was always a prolific scorer – even as a young winger. But he never dived for a penalty or free-kick. “If he was kicked, he’d bounce straight up like a rubber ball because he wanted to score so badly. He had this immense courage.” Once Busby stepped down in 1972, Best, whose previously supreme fitness was already waning amid a growing battle with booze, lost some motivation and disciplinary problems followed. “He could see what was happening, it upset him – Sir Matt was a father to him,” added Stepney, 78. After Best left United in 1974, there were comebacks, including at Fulham and Hibernian, plus a spell in America. Then came a successful career as a top Sky TV pundit during the 90s. And although his life as an alcoholic continued to spiral tragically Best, who died in November 2005, never changed on the inside. Stepney said: “He was always this shy guy, who loved scoring cheeky goals.” ■ EURO STAR: Best scoring against Benfica back in 1966 ■ GENIUS: Best would have been unstoppable in modern day Result! 11 Lynden’s got Imps in sights By ANDY WILLIAMS Lynden Gooch says Sunderland will look to bounce back from the disappointment of missing out on automatic promotion and win at Wembley for the second time this season. After shaking off their hoodoo in the capital by beating Tranmere in the Papa John’s Trophy in March, the Black Cats winger wants to go one better and help claim back their Championship status. But first they have to get past the challenge of a two-legged semi-final against Lincoln, starting with a tricky away tie on Wednesday. American Gooch, 25, said: “We’ve put ourselves in a really good position after finding ourselves behind the pack and then fell short at the end. “But we’ve got a second chance to put it right. “We were in this situation a couple of years ago and hopefully we can get to the final again.” Mother of all games for Claire By GRAHAM THOMAS Proud mum Claire Collins is definitely off to see her son play at Wembley – she just doesn’t know which one. It could be Newport County striker Lewis Collins, 20, or his brother Aaron, 23, the Forest Green frontman. One of them will make it to the League Two play-off final after their clubs meet in the semis, the first of which is on Tuesday at Rodney Parade. It will be the first time the brothers have faced each other and their mother’s only wish is that the tie doesn’t go to penalties. “That would be awful,” said Claire, who will be alongside husband Rod for their hometown club County’s first-leg clash. “We are all from Newport so I guess we will be hoping County can win, but there’s no favouritism when it comes to the two boys.”

The Mexican has been training with Wolves’ first team as he battles back from a severe head injury. Wolves have recorded two HK’s POTY tottenham hotspur stadium ❱ today, KO 2.05pm ❱ sky sports * mason: stats back striker RYAN MASON reckons Harry Kane deserves to win the Footballer of the Year or Players’ Player of the Year awards – or both – despite Spurs’ disappointing season. Manchester City stars Ruben Dias, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan are the most likely candidates on the back of their Premier League title triumph. But Tottenham’s interim manager is convinced the England captain has done as much as, if not more than, any of them and that he deserves to edge the voting. Mason said: “In previous seasons, most recently as well, players have won that prize having not won the league. “And Harry has probably been the most influential player in the Premier League this season. “He has the joint-most goals, most assists as well, so if the trophy or prize is won on who is the best player in the Premier League, then Harry has to be in the conversation.” Like Mo Salah, Kane has 21 Premier League goals to his name and the Spurs man is out on his own in terms of assists, with 13. “Harry, consistently over the last five or six years, has been one of the best players in the Premier League and this year has been no Tom Hopkinson Reporting different for him,” said Mason. “The trophy isn’t for the team of the league, it’s for the player of the league, who has been the best player over the course of the season. “Harry is one of the best players in the world and statistically this season he has probably produced the best numbers. “So why he is not in that conversation, I don’t know.” Another man who has Mason purring is captain Hugo Lloris. The Frenchman, a World Cup winner, used to be Mason’s captain and the dynamic between them could have been quite difficult after the former midfielder was elevated to the hotseat when Jose Mourinho was sacked last month. But Mason said: “It hasn’t been difficult at all and I can’t praise Hugo enough. “As a player, I looked up to him, he was my captain, he led the football club. He is incredibly professional and in taking this role he has been key to helping me. “The respect he has shown me, as someone who has won the World Cup and is one of the best keepers in the world, has been outstanding. “Then there is his professionalism, his performances for the last four games, and his performances this season, all outstanding – I can’t speak highly enough of him. “We’re lucky to have him. He has been a joy to work with as a player and a coach.” This afternoon Mason is up against the Wolves team of Nuno Espirito Santo, another candidate for the role as Mourinho’s long-term successor. But he insists that is no extra motivation. Mason added: “The club has a massive game and there’s no extra incentive to win. “My attention is on us, we’re at home, we want to win and we want to put in a performance that warrants that. “And that’s where my energy and focus is going.” ■ TIPS: Kane and Ryan Mason in training *That’s player of the year! ■ IT FIGURES: Harry Kane has scored 21 Premier League goals this season
SS1ST premier league LOANEE: Maitland-Niles (right) against Leicester Ainsley to return with big goal at Gunners 13 West Brom v liverpool difference maker Champs Lge vital the hawthorns ❱ today, KO 4.30pm ❱ sky sports ■ FEARS FOR THE FUTURE: Reds boss Klopp is desperate for a top-four finish for years ahead By NEIL MOXLEY AINSLEY Maitland-Niles will return to Arsenal with advice ringing in his ears – ‘Play where you’re told and score more goals’. West Brom chief Sam Allardyce has paid tribute to the loanee who came to help out the Baggies four months ago. The Gunners man, 23, hoped to squeeze into Gareth Southgate’s squad for the European Championships by catching his eye playing at The Hawthorns. Maitland-Niles has performed impressively during his stay but Allardyce believes he and fellow temporary recruit Conor Gallagher are missing one vital ingredient if they want to advance their careers. “Ainsley’s given us everything he has got,” said Allardyce. “He came to join the fight – you have to admire that – he knew my idea was to play him where he wanted to play and where he’s always wanted to play, in midfield. “He made a big contribution. But there is just one thing missing – those goals that we ultimately needed.” Maitland-Niles will return to The Emirates with significant Premier League experience and Allardyce said that if he wants to nail down a regular spot in Mikel Arteta’s side, he may have to be flexible in his approach. He added: “Arsenal have got many talented midfield players. If I were him, I’d play wherever the manager picked me. “I’d never turn it down because if you are able to play in a number of positions, you are going to get more games than if you had one position and one position only.” Result! JURGEN KLOPP has admitted if his stars fail to grab a top-four finish and make the Champions League it could hit them hard beyond next season. The Kop boss takes his stars to relegated West Brom today for the next huge game in a win-or-bust end to an injury-ravaged campaign – with the big prize of Champions League football still in their sights. Liverpool need wins against the Baggies, Burnley and Crystal Palace in their last three games of the season to virtually guarantee themselves a place at football’s top table next season. Euro rivals Leicester and Chelsea – set to meet in the league at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday – can damage each other whatever their result and leave the door open for the Reds to sneak in on the last day. But Klopp has confessed if his deposed Premier League champions slip up it could cost the club millions. And falling out of Europe’s elite competition would limit their financial buying power in the transfer market this summer and beyond. Klopp said: “It always has an impact on the next season, that is clear. “Six years in from being here, the first year I don’t think we had a proper chance to qualify for the Champions League. “But from then on we qualified every time and it was always the main target so that says something. “This season had so many turns, ups Steve Bates Reporting and downs. For the players it is much more important from a joy point of view. “They want to, desperately, they want to play Champions League next season. So we have to use that. “We will not stop playing if we don’t qualify and we will not buy eight players if we qualify so that is not the difference. “But we have to do serious stuff and we will see how that works out. We will play and we will see.” Missing out on the top four could scupper major signings already in the pipeline with Liverpool linked with summer moves for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate and Inter striker Lautaro Martinez. And if his stars don’t earn a top-four place, Klopp believes the Champions League will be a poorer competition without Liverpool’s presence next season after winning it in 2019, losing in the round of 16 a year later and reaching the quarter-finals this campaign. “Definitely, but I don’t think they give us a wild card because of that,” said the Anfield chief. “Some other good teams are not in yet, as well, so imagine a Champions League without Juventus? It is a tricky one but that is how it is.” Don’t mess with Klopp when he’s in the zone! Not many people can say they’ve felt the love and the wrath of Jurgen Klopp in equal measure. Richie Partridge is one of the select few. The Dubliner never kicked a ball for the Liverpool manager – his playing career was long finished by the time of Klopp’s arrival at Anfield in 2015 – but became part of his inner circle at the club at the end of that first season, when the German promoted him from the academy to first-team physiotherapist. Partridge (right) spent nine years on the books of the Merseyside giants from 1996, featuring just once in a League Cup tie against Stoke EXCLUSIVE by David SNEYD City. He suffered a serious knee injury earlier in his youth team career and that’s why he cherishes the decade spent as a physio at the club after he was forced to hang up his boots at the age of 30. Even getting on Klopp’s bad side was an experience to behold. “He is so intense on the field,” said Partridge. “He rollicked me on a number of occasions when I was running on (to treat a player). “It’s pure ‘in the zone’, he’s absolutely in the zone. Get him outside of the intensity of a game in a normal work or personal environment and he’s not like that. As a physio, when you communicate back to him and use too many medical terms he will stare at you and then it’s, ‘Will you just speak f***ing English!’” It’s knowing the two sides of Klopp that meant Partridge had no issue explaining to him why he was opting to leave his dream job a couple of months before they ended their 30-year wait for the league title. An opportunity to join the Qatar national team and prepare for next year’s World Cup was too good to turn down. “This was a chance for a new life experience,” he added. “I went to see the manager and he understood and was great.”
14 SS1ST Result! premier league Wilder still getting the bottom line from Paul keane for an answer goodison park ❱ today, KO 7pm ❱ bt sport Michael not happy with snub By ROSS HEPPENSTALL PAUL HECKINGBOTTOM is keeping former Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder in the loop on life at Bramall Lane. Wilder was axed in March after almost five years in charge with Under-23s boss Heckingbottom placed in caretaker charge. “We keep in regular contact and Chris called me last Sunday, so we had a good chat then,” said Heckingbottom (above). “We were friends before I came into the job – he’s the reason I came here. “He’s a big Sheffield United fan so there is a bit more pressure when he rings up! “But we’ve always spoken about football and we think similarly about a lot of things. “Chris will always have not only an affection for the club because he’s a fan, but also because of what he did here to be held in such high regard. “At the minute, they’re still his players so he feels a lot of responsibility towards them. “We’ve always phoned each other up about players. In terms of players’ personalities, we’ve always discussed that because for me that’s the most important thing.” The Blades go to Everton this evening bidding to avoid two unwanted records – most defeats and fewest goals scored in a Premier League campaign. Heckingbottom, who is on a five-man shortlist to succeed Wilder, added: “Whoever the new manager is will be watching, so the players need to go out and give it everything for these last three games.” Rookie striker Daniel Jebbison, 17, is in line to make his second appearance in eight days. everton v sheff utd IT is a sign of the player Michael Keane has become that when he was left out of the last England squad, the first thing he did was to seek answers from Gareth Southgate. The Everton defender didn’t agree with everything Southgate told him during a telephone conversation that left him in no doubt that while the door had not been closed on his Euro hopes, the Mancunian still had to boot it open. So Keane, 28, goes into the final three games of the season on a double mission – to help his club qualify for Europe and in doing so prove to Southgate that he deserves to be part of his plans for the summer tournament. “I was disappointed not to be in the last squad, so I know I’ve got to finish the season well and see what happens,” said the centre-back. “I was surprised I wasn’t in it. I’d been in a lot of squads before that and I was playing really well. “Also I didn’t get told about it. I only found out when it got announced on Sky. “So I called Gareth on the night that it was announced. “Obviously I’m going to keep the actual conversation between ourselves. “But I thought I was going to be in it and I hadn’t had an explanation. “So I wanted to know why, I wanted to know what I had to work on and what I had to do to improve. “There were obviously things I didn’t agree with – but I think that’s normal when you’ve not been picked. I’m going to be frustrated. “But at least I ■ HE’S NOT KEANE: Gareth Southgate (right) snubbed Michael Keane in his last squad Simon Mullock Reporting know the door is still open. I’ve just got to keep playing well and see what happens. “I know what I need to work on, what I need to do to get myself back in it. That’s the main thing that I got out of the call.” It is only a year ago that Keane spoke so honestly about the mental issues he suffered during his first season at Goodison following his £25million arrival from Burnley. He played through the pain of a serious foot injury when it became clear that Ronald Koeman’s future as Everton boss was in the balance. And when the Dutchman was sacked, he struggled to come to terms with the feeling of failure. So when Keane was asked about how Carlo Ancelotti’s plan to take the Merseyside club back into Europe has been undermined by a wretched home record that threatens to undo all the good work Everton have done away from Goodison, he did not dodge the issue. Everton face relegated Sheffield United tonight followed by struggling Wolves and a trip to champions Manchester City. And Keane said: “We probably need to win all three games. It is obviously a big ask but we know we can do it. “There’s no getting away from the fact that our home form hasn’t been good enough this season. “I think we’ve really missed the fans but even without the fans we should have done a lot better than what we have. “We’ve had one or two bad spells but if we didn’t finish in Europe at all I think it would be a disappointing season for Everton. “I think we’ve shown a lot of promise, a lot of improvement this year. “I think you can see that the team is getting better and we are improving as a team. “But with the season we’ve had and where we’ve been all season, I think we have shown we are good enough to finish in the European places.”
SS1ST Jamie carragher’s Prem team of the season 15 c palace v a villa premier league hodgson expecting plenty of fireworks from fans Result! selhurst park ❱ today, KO noon ❱ Roy Hodgson insists players won’t have any excuses for not feeling motivated once fans provide a “wonderful explosion” on their return to stadiums. The Crystal Palace manager (right) admitted it has been difficult to adapt to empty stadiums and sterilised matchday environments but it hasn’t dulled his passion for the game – or that of his rivals. Today’s visit of Aston Villa to Selhurst Park is set to be the Eagles’ last league fixture without supporters in the stands because of the pandemic, with 6,500 due to be in attendance for the derby against Arsenal on Wednesday. Hodgson, 73, said: “You will see an explosion when the fans come back. “They’ve been starved of what is so important to them. “You will see a wonderful explosion when it opens up (fully) at the start of next season and then, if anything, no one will have any excuse for showing the right passion, the right enthusiasm and the right energy. “Any excuse you may have had will be taken away as soon as those fans sky sports return and make it perfectly clear what they expect from you.” Hodgson’s reign as Palace boss is expected to finish once his contract runs out at the end of this season. While he says he will be the one to announce any decision, retirement is not on the agenda, especially after coming through these unprecedented times. He added: “It would be a lie if I didn’t say it was hard. It’s not been easy to equate that to the football you know before. “It’s not been easy to retain the love and passion, although my colleagues on the other side still seem to be as pent up as stressed in their dugout as we do.” DAVID SNEYD ■ Emiliano Martinez Vladimir Coufal Kevin De Bruyne Bruno Fernandes N’Golo Kante Harry Kane Heung-min Son HE’S ONE IN EMI-LLION: Emi Martinez has starred for Villa John Stones Ruben Dias Luke Shaw Phil Foden A s-Mart buy smith thanks lucky stars for no.1 DEAN Smith takes Emiliano Martinez back to the capital today – still scratching his head at how he managed to get him out in the first place. Smith signed Martinez from Arsenal last summer in a deal worth £20million – and that cash has proved money well spent. The Argentine, 28, notched up his 15th clean sheet during Thursday’s drab stalemate at home to Everton and Aston Villa’s boss says that he needs to be put on a pedestal alongside Manchester City shot-stopper Ederson. Sky pundit Jamie Carragher (right) plumped for Martinez in goal when he revealed his team of the season last week. And the shut-out against the Toffees meant that Martinez has two games in which to eclipse Brad Friedel’s record from the Neil Moxley Reporting 2010-11 campaign – a late save from Dominic Calvert-Lewin proving his class and earning Villa a 0-0 draw in midweek. Boss Smith said: “I didn’t see what Jamie had chosen – but I’m pleased Emi’s getting the acknowledgement. “If you look at him last season, he won the FA Cup and Community Shield with Arsenal. “He finished the season really well with them and he started this one the same way. “We knew what we were getting. “I was surprised at the time we could get him and I’m still surprised now that we actually did get him. “He’s allowed a progressive team to progress that much faster, if I’m being honest. “Fifteen clean sheets shows you that progress, not only with Emi but also of the team. “We became a tougher team to beat after Project Restart and we have continued it this season and Emi has been a big part of that.” Although Smith couldn’t help but have a quick dig at the Scouser. He said: “Did Jamie pick Jack Grealish? He should have done!” Smith has a role on the League Managers Association board and wanted to pay tribute to Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson, who might be standing in the Selhurst Park dugout for the penultimate time this afternoon. He said that the veteran manager had enjoyed a stellar career and hopes that his experience will be tapped into by younger coaches in years to come. The Villa chief said: “I believe there is a Hall of Fame at the LMA – there’s certainly one to celebrate those bosses who have reached 1,000 games – Roy’s in that, I’m sure. “If he hasn’t been inducted, he will be because he’s had an incredible coaching journey and a very long and successful one. “I’m sure he will be used by the LMA as a mentor – if that’s what Roy wants – because his experience will be invaluable for younger coaches and managers coming into the game. “I don’t class myself as young any more – now I’ve reached 50 – but passing on his knowledge to those younger than me would be appreciated I hope. “As far as I’m aware, it’s not over yet, but he’s certainly been a great servant to the game. There’s no question about that.” ■ HAPPY SHOPPER: Dean Smith
16 SS1ST Result! play-off semi-finals 1st legs championship gate stuff We’re Bourn winners Christian’s top target CHRISTIAN NORGAARD has already shown Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Declan Rice and Co what he is capable of. He picked up Denmark’s man-of-the-match award on his full debut in a 0-0 draw against England in last September’s Nations League clash. Now midfielder Norgaard hopes to be a great Dane over two legs of the play-off semi-finals as his Brentford side take on compatriot Philip Billing’s Bournemouth. And if he then gets the chance to put in a dazzling display at Wembley, Norgaard and his Bees pals have a real opportunity to take on the England big guns next season. Norgaard, 27 (below) said: “We all want to compete at the highest possible level and now we have a good chance to be there next year.” bournemouth v Brentford JONATHAN WOODGATE says Bournemouth have the quality to grace the Premier League for years to come – but must prove it over the next fortnight. The Cherries were relegated back into the Championship last term after five seasons mixing it among the big boys under Eddie Howe. Having kept the majority of that squad together – and added the likes of Jack Wilshere – they go into their play-off semi-final against Brentford seemingly primed to return. Boss Woodgate, who took over from Jason Tindall in February, agrees with that view – to a degree. The former England centre-back also insists there is a big difference between having the talent for the highest level and showing it over a sustained period of time. Ahead of tomorrow’s first leg at the Vitality, he said: “People say we have a lot of Premier League players but you need to have been there for five or six years to be called that. “Guys like Steve Cook and Adam Smith, they’ve done that. ❱ Alex after a reunion BARNSLEY captain Alex Mowatt is dreaming of facing his old pal Kalvin Phillips in the Premier League next season. Mowatt (below) joined Leeds at the age of nine and came through the Elland Road academy with Phillips before being sold to Barnsley in January 2017. Midfield maestro Mowatt, 26, said: “Being at Leeds for so many years definitely helped to make me the person I am today. “They’ve got a great track record of bringing young players through. “To win promotion for Barnsley and be playing against Leeds in the Premier League next season would be massive for me. “Kalvin and I are still good mates. He has done so well these past few seasons under Marcelo Bielsa and I hope to watch him play for England at the Euros.” Harry Pratt Reporting They are Premier League players but some of the others here haven’t been there for more than a year. Anyone can do a year in the Premier League. “That’s why we need to get them back up because, no doubt about it, these players can play in the Premier League. They are good enough to be in it for the next five years.” Woodgate, out of contract at the end of the campaign, has nothing but praise for Brentford, who lost to Fulham in last year’s final at Wembley. The ex-Middlesbrough boss, 41, added: “They were the outstanding team in the division last time but fell at the final hurdle. “That makes a difference. They know what it feels like to lose there – but both teams are under pressure.” Barnsley v Swansea ■ WOOD-FIRED: Jonathan Woodgate says his men have Prem quality Our top football results service Final 2021 Sport in Short Other results Vanarama National League Chelsea (0)............0 Leicester (0)..........1 Aldershot (0).......1 Hartlepool (0).... 3 Boreham W (2)......2 Wrexham (0)......... 3 Tielemans 63 Bettamer 87 (pen) Att: 21,000 Smith 18 Tshimanga 45 Brighton (0)...........1 West Ham (0)..........1 Welbeck 84 Team P W D L F A GD Pts Man City (C).......... 36 26 5 5 76 29 47 83 Man Utd................. 36 20 10 6 70 42 28 70 Leicester............... 36 20 65 44 6 10 21 66 Benrahma 87 Burnley (0)...........0 Leeds Utd (1).........4 Klich 44 Harrison 60 Rodrigo 77, 79 So’ton (1).................3 Fulham (0)..............1 Liverpool............... 35 17 9 9 61 41 20 60 West Ham.............. 36 17 8 11 56 56 10 59 PLAYED FRIDAY Tottenham............ 35 16 8 11 61 41 20 56 Newcastle (2)......3 Man City (2)...........4 Everton.................. 35 16 8 11 46 42 4 56 Arsenal.................. 36 16 7 13 50 38 12 55 Leeds Utd.............. 36 16 5 15 57 53 4 53 Aston Villa............ 35 14 7 14 49 41 8 49 Wolves................... 35 12 9 14 35 47 -12 45 So’ton..................... 36 12 7 17 47 63 -16 43 Crystal P................ 35 11 8 16 37 59 -22 41 Tottenham v WolveS (2.05PM) Burnley.................. 36 10 9 17 33 51 -18 39 Newcastle.............. 36 10 9 17 43 62 -19 39 West Brom v Liverpool (4.30pm) Brighton................ 36 8 14 14 37 42 -5 38 11 19 32 68 -36 26 2 28 18 62 -44 17 1-2-X CHECK Adams 27 Tella 60, Walcott 82 Krafth 25 Joelinton 45 (pen) Willock 62 Carvalho 75 Notts Co (0)...........2 Bromley (1)............2 Ellis 27 (og) Campbell 75 Solihull M (1).......2 Woking (0)...............1 Rooney 5, Hudlin 83 Collier 79 Weymouth (1).........2 Altrncham (0).......1 Dallas 22, 78 Colclough 50 Yeovil (2)................3 King’s Lynn T (1)....1 Knowles 8, 11 Sonupe 84 PLAYING TODAY Crystal PAL v Aston Villa (12PM) Everton v Sheff Utd (7PM) Top scorers 21 21 18 17 16 P W Sutton Utd.................. 40 24 Torquay........................39 23 Hartlepool................... 40 21 Stockport County.......39 20 Wrexham......................39 18 Notts Co.......................39 18 Chesterfld................... 40 19 Bromley....................... 40 17 FC Halifax.................... 40 18 Eastleigh......................38 16 Dagenham.................. 40 17 Solihull Moors.............38 16 Boreham W..................39 12 Maidenhead Utd.........38 14 Aldershot.....................39 15 Yeovil............................39 15 Altrncham....................39 11 Weymouth....................39 11 Wealdstone................. 40 9 Woking......................... 40 8 King’s Lynn Town.......39 7 Barnet...........................38 6 Dover..............................0 0 Hibernian (0)........0 Celtic (0)................0 Rangers (2)...........4 Aberdeen (0)........0 Lewis 5 (og), Roofe 34, 60 Defoe 88 St Johnstn (0).....0 Livingston (0)......0 Ajiboye 65 Olaofe 79, John 90 Wootton 53 Rodrigues 62 Joao Cancelo 39 Torres 42, 64, 66 Salah...................................

‘We’ll get married this year – I can’t wait to be Katie Woods’ I As Katie Price and Carl Woods share their romantic engagement and plans for a fairytale wedding, the mum-of-five says she intends to change her surname and make “an entrance and a half” on their big day t’s been a whirlwind romance for Katie Price and Carl Woods, who started dating last July. Not long after their eyes met at Essex hot spot Sheesh, they had moved in together. And now they’re engaged we’re catching up on their news. We met up with the couple at Braxted Park Estate, an events venue set within 500 acres of Essex parkland. “I knew when I first met her I was going to propose to her, it was just trying to get it right,” says Carl. And Katie, who turns 43 this week, adds, “I knew he was going to do it but I didn’t know when. He knew I was going to say yes.” Businessman Carl, 32, got down on one knee after asking Katie’s mum Amy Price and dad Ray Infield for their blessing. Here, Carl and Katie, who is mum to Harvey, 18, Junior, 15, Princess, 13, Jett, seven, and Bunny, six, share the story of his romantic proposal and their plans for the big day. Were there any tears? Carl: No. Katie doesn’t cry. She was just shocked. Katie: I was so shocked! The ring nearly blinded me. Were you nervous, Carl? Carl: I didn’t think that I was and then when it was actually happening, I did get really nervous. I was calm and cool and then as it was happening, that’s when I s**t myself. But I knew the ring would do the talking. Tell us about the ring… Carl: The ring had to be perfect. I was recommended Rankins Jewellers in east London. I knew what Katie had her eye on and added my own touches. Like Katie, it’s a one-off, a truly stunning piece. I knew when I went to pick it up this was more than special – it left Katie speechless! The ring is just under seven carats. Katie: When I saw the ring, I couldn’t believe it. I was always looking at rings on Congratulations! Can you Pinterest. He was definitely tell us about the proposal? Carl: I had the whole house looking on my Pinterest for kitted out with balloons and ideas. Carl, did you look at flowers and a big sign inside my Pinterest? that said “Mrs Woods” – I was Carl: Yeah, of course. assuming she was going to say I wanted to get yes! There was a marquee in something you liked. The engagement the garden with loads of flowers Katie: I knew he ring left Katie and candles. I had a sign that would. And I didn’t “speechless” said, “Dolly [Carl’s pet name have to buy my own for Katie], will you marry me?” ring this time! It’s like a fairytale ring and massive. It’s like Were you surprised, Katie? something out of Hollywood. It’s Katie: Yes. We’d spoken about it a lot, so more than I could dream of. I knew he was going to, I just didn’t know when. It was amazing. Carl asked my mum How much was the ring? and dad for permission – and Junior! Carl: It’s expensive, put it that way. Carl: Junior gave me a talking to, like he Katie: I know Carl gets bored of girls was my dad! He was asking me if I was sure. quick. I obviously passed the tests and He gave me all the pros and cons about his now I’m the one who has got a ring. mum, which was nothing I didn’t know, and said, “If you’re happy, then I’m happy What will make this marriage because I want you to be part of our family.” different, Katie? I asked Katie’s dad and he said, “100%.” Katie: My head’s in the right place. And her mum was the same. Not only am I head over heels in love, ‘The ring is like something out of Hollywood. It’s more than I could dream of’’ 4 TV LIFE my kids approve and my family approve. It’s not a rash decision. And the best thing about Carl is he doesn’t need me for anything and I don’t need him for anything. It’s refreshing to be with a man that if I decided I never wanted to work again, he’d look after me. What would you say to people who might say you’ve said this before? Katie: People can say what they want. I feel fresh. Everything is completely different. Carl is my future. My kids said they didn’t want to meet someone else unless it was real, The One – period. And Carl is it! Have you thought about plans for the wedding already? Carl: We’ve got a few ideas – we’re on the same page. Katie: Yes, we have lots of options and ideas. Put it this way, the wedding that I want, if you Googled it, no one has ever done it before. I want the focus on Carl as much as me, this is his special day, too. No wall-towall celeb faces. It’ll be about us, Carl and our family, coming together as one. Carl: Great food, lots of laughs – fun, topclass entertainment. Expect the unexpected. It will certainly be a day to remember. It will be about our love for each other and sharing that with our closest friends and our loved ones. Katie with her children Junior, Harvey, Jett, Princess and Bunny

Do you get on with Carl’s family? Katie: Yeah. Family is important to Carl. If I didn’t get on with his family, there’s no way he’d be with me. You broke your feet on holiday last year. Are you worried your injuries could affect your wedding day? Katie: I won’t be in heels. I’ll have to wear trainers – but I’ll make sure they’re glamorous. Are you still using a walking frame? Katie: I’ve been using crutches, a Zimmer frame and hanging on to Carl some days. Does that worry you when it comes to walking down the aisle? Katie: Who said I’ll be walking down the aisle? I’m not revealing anything but it will be an entrance and a half! Will you be inviting your ex-husbands? Katie: No. They’re exes for a reason. Will you change your name to Katie Woods? Katie: Yes.

You’ve said you’re trying for a baby. Is that still on the cards? Katie: It’s pretty obvious that we’ll be having a baby. We’ll leave it at that. You said you’ve always found it hard to trust men. Did it take a while for you to trust Carl? Katie: In the early stages of our relationship I broke my feet and couldn’t walk. So he was my knight in shining armour. He literally proved he was going to be there in sickness and in health before we’ve even said, “I do.” Finally, we see you’ve been confirmed for the next series of Celebrity MasterChef… Katie: I’m not allowed to let secrets out but, put it this way, I do better than just OK!

Hi Marnie! How’s it been trying on dresses? It’s been so much fun. But I’ve been in lockdown and I don’t feel that body confident. It’s nice to get a feel for what kind of wedding dress I want, as I’m really naive about the whole thing. Have you put on weight during lockdown? ‘I’m not a very dressy-up person – this is out of my comfort zone’ Yeah, I’ve gone from a size 8-10 to a 12, which isn’t loads, but I’ve been eating more. The wedding is not for a few months so I’m planning on getting back into the gym. Have you tried on many dresses? I hadn’t tried on any! I’m not a very dressyup person. Even when I go on a night out everyone knows me for being really casual. I’m always in sweats and have my hair in a bun. This is out of my comfort zone – but in a good way. Does the wedding feel more real now? I don’t think it will feel real until I’m physically walking down the aisle. I still can’t believe I’m getting married. Have you done much of the planning? My manager has pretty much done everything. I probably wouldn’t get married if it wasn’t for him! There’s so much going on. I’m also filming for Geordie OGs, so there’s a lot to do. So you haven’t turned into a bridezilla? No. I don’t think I’m the bridezilla type. I’m so chilled. Marnie with Rox and Casey Will the Geordie Shore guys be there? Yeah. It will get really wild, but it It seems you’re in a much better place now… So much better. I had the operation [fulguration] in October and I’ve been really good. They don’t really know what caused it and said it could be hormone related, so that does worry me about having another baby. But I really want another sibling for Rox, so I’m going to take the risk. There were stories in January that you and Casey had split. Did you sort things out? Yeah. It was just me. I was lashing out because I was depressed and the doctors were telling me that if the operation didn’t work, my last option would be to remove my bladder. I thought it hadn’t worked and had made it worse. They did say it would get worse before it got better and it did get much worse. I was really low and felt depressed and pushed him away, but it was only a two-day thing where I needed some time out. But it’s sorted now. The Geordie Shore 10-year reunion is coming up this summer. Are you involved? Yeah! I’ve got to do it, definitely. I know they were planning something, but it all got scrapped because of Covid. I don’t know what they’re planning now. Will everyone come back for it? As far as I’m aware everyone is coming back apart from a few of the boys. And what about Vicky Pattison and Charlotte Crosby taking part in it? I think Charlotte’s definitely going to. I don’t think Vicky will.

Bianca’s travelled to Queens, New York, to body was lying under some green a gig by Canadian singer Nicole tarpaulin and Clark flung himself next to her, taking a selfie before cutting his throat with a knife. He was rushed to hospital, where he survived his injuries. Disturbingly, police discovered video footage of Bianca’s murder that had been recorded on Clark’s phone. He had parked his car, woken Bianca up and confronted her about kissing Alex at the gig. Bianca pointed out that they were just friends and Clark hit her. Shocked and angry, she demanded he drive her home – and threatened to get out and walk. Clark then pulled out a knife and slit her throat. After taking pictures, he uploaded them to messenger app Discord, where they were actively shared across the internet. It was sickening and there was a race to get them taken down, as Bianca’s devastated family started seeing them too. Clark was charged with seconddegree murder, as investigators were convinced the killing had been premeditated. The knife had already been in his car, as well as ropes and tools. Clark had also searched on the internet about how to find the carotid artery, how to incapacitate someone and information on choking and hanging. But his mother said
CrImE Killer Brandon clark, left, in court Bianca had overcome depression ‘He took a selfie before cutting his own throat’ they were plans to harm himself – not Bianca. After Bianca’s death, the internet was wild with rumours about her. Some said Clark was a stalker who had tracked her to the concert, while others said he was a huge online star. In the wake of her killing, Bianca’s Instagram account had more than 150,000 followers – but that was because of the macabre fame her death brought about. The falsehoods being peddled caused her family further distress. Social media owners were criticised for their slow response in taking down the images – and months later they could still be found. Some vile trolls even used the images to joke about Bianca’s death. Those who loved Bianca held vigils and her friends from school were offered counselling. Her death also forced people to start having some difficult conversations about the dangers of online sharing – and the lack of restrictions that had allowed Bianca’s family to have access to the upsetting images of her body. At first, Clark pleaded not guilty – then, in February 2020, he changed his plea to guilty. His lawyers WOrDS: GAIL ShOrTLAnD PhOTOS: PA ImAGES claimed he didn’t want to put Bianca’s family through the trauma of seeing the 10-minute killing video, which everyone now knew had been found on his mobile. But it was more likely that Clark knew the video was so damning it could increase any sentence made via a plea deal. constant nightmares Bianca’s family expressed their relief but were again distressed when he tried to withdraw the plea – claiming his legal team had misled him. The request was denied. Finally, in March this year, after delays due to the pandemic, Clark faced sentencing. Making a statement in court, he said, “I think I need to realise what I did I can’t undo, as much as I want to. I apologise to all the people that knew and loved her. I apologise to everybody affected by this, to everybody who had to see that horrific picture of her. I know sorry is not enough, and it won’t take back what I did. I wish I had more to give.” They were empty words for Bianca’s loved ones. Clark had shown no compassion as he’d filmed her final breaths. The Police at the grim scene in Utica judge even interrupted Clark to note that he’d tried to withdraw his guilty plea. “It seemed like in the beginning you were focused on the family, the pain that you caused that family,” the judge said. “But somewhere in the interim, you started to focus on yourself. And that was what was confusing to everyone. You were more worried about yourself than Bianca.” Bianca’s sister Olivia, now 17, talked about the constant nightmares she suffers and how she had to delete all of her social media accounts after being sent images of Bianca. “Many random people set their profile pictures as my sister’s death photo and went on my page knowing I would, without a doubt, see it,” she said tearfully. “I have to live the rest of my life knowing I had to say goodbye to my sister in a funeral home and I don’t even know if she heard me.” Bianca’s mum, Kim, begged the judge to jail Clark for the rest of his life so he couldn’t cause harm to anyone else. She said, “With the death of your child comes the most unimaginable, indescribable pain, a pain that time cannot heal and only seems to worsen. Life without Bianca will never be the same, our family will never again be complete.” Clark got 25 years to life in prison. Bianca’s family have created scholarships in her name and are now campaigning for laws around graphic content on social media. Bianca had gone online to seek out a place where she could find like-minded people and feel like she belonged. She connected with so many kind souls who helped her – but her death is a terrifying reminder that there are also dangers lurking on the web. Tragically, Bianca became an internet sensation for all the wrong reasons. TV LIFE 15

‘I hope Prince Harry is happy’ BLOKE CHAT James and Chloe want a “proper wedding” James Haskell opens up about his friendship with the royal, and renewing his vows with Chloe Madeley W ith his no-nonsense Who wears the trousers? and unfiltered I think ultimately, I’m in approach, James charge. But I’m a Haskell is always very benevolent refreshingly king. She decides honest. From his relationship with everything – it’s wife Chloe Madeley, to his views only every now and on reality stars, the former rugby then I have to go, player always says it how it is. “Come on!” It’s As we catch up with James, he tells us he and Chloe, 33, are hoping to renew their wedding vows after previously tying the knot in an intimate ceremony back in December 2018. He also admits the couple have been keeping busy over the past few months with a Bert has new member of the family been keeping – their adorable pup Bert. James busy Here, 36-year-old James also opens up about who wears the trousers in their marriage and his royal pals… Hi, James! How have you found the past year? an equal partnership more than anything. I think there’s this belief that some men are intimidated by success, but I want Chloe to be the most successful person ever. I have no ego in that department. Would you guys renew your wedding vows? We will. But because of Covid-19, everything has gone back further which is highly irritating. I’m trying to wait for the world to open up again – everyone’s catching up on their weddings. But we do definitely want to do a proper wedding. You’re friends with Prince Harry. Do you still get to stay in touch with him? Yeah I still stay in touch with him. It doesn’t matter who he is and what he does, he was a mate first and foremost. I love the royal family. I was super sad by Prince Philip’s death. I think they’re one of the best things about this country. I know there are miserable people who want to get rid of them, but I think they’re fantastic. People forget they’re a family like everyone else. Harry seems happy in the US. How is he finding life over there? I would never look at someone from the outside and say whether they’re happy or not. I hope he’s happy, but I’d never comment. I’m sure he is. Who wouldn’t want to live in LA? I don’t do very well at just sitting down and doing nothing, so I just made sure I had stuff to do. And then we also got a dog, so we’ve been training the hell out of him! Finally, tell us about your work with The Unbelievable ALT? How are you and Chloe finding being dog parents? Please never refer to us as dog parents ever again! [Laughs] It’s like when people describe themselves as a parent to a fur baby. I’m a 36-year-old former rugby player. He’s my dog and I love him, but he’s not my fur baby. Chloe went from being anti-dog, as she didn’t understand them, to a complete dog mum! You’re both into your fitness. Do you ever work out together? I take my diet and nutrition seriously and I’m always keen to explore new things. Meats and plant-based proteins and fibre is the ultimate diet, but I do believe that variety is really important and you should try alternatives. It’s not about trying to make everyone vegan, but it’s offering an alternative. Their alternatives are so tasty. James is working with The Unbelievable ALT – the no-compromise meat-free alternative for meat lovers that tastes and bites just like real meat. With its versatility and reduced impact on the environment, it’s the perfect solution for those wanting to cut down on their meat intake. Visit theunbelievablealt.com or @unbelievablealt on Instagram No we don’t. We did try and it was fun, but we have very different goals. Instagram has made people believe that just because you’re a couple, you work out and do pull ups and kiss each other on the bum. You see reality stars do all this crap on the beach, but it’s utter b******s. What’s your favourite thing about Chloe? She always puts other people first and she makes my life better – and that’s all you can say really. She’s so loving.

The next morning, Chas decides to help and, finding Liv in a state, she puts her troubled relation under house arrest. Jamie persuades Noah to do some digging on Gabby. He agrees and watches on as Kim hunts for her secret notebook. When Gabby helps her find it he suspects the pair are hiding something and tells Jamie. Poor Kim’s troubles don’t stop there. When Gabby gets rumbled, she takes advantage of Kim’s fragile state, claiming her fuzzy memory is to blame for a confusion at Home Farm. The deception prompts Kim to book herself in for a dementia test. Elsewhere, Vic realises Ben still isn’t over Aaron and persuades Ethan to join a dating app. Plus, Amy and Matty’s relationship takes a turn when Amy blurts out her true feelings.

As Nancy encourages her dad to read the statement himself in Could there be a romance in store for Jenny – who deserves a bit of joy? Having clicked with the charming B&B guest Ronnie, the pair share an undeniable spark, but what will become of their chemistry? After a romantic road trip in Ed’s campervan, things are clearly heating up between Jenny and Ronnie. However, things get tricky when Johnny turns up out of the blue with a bunch of flowers. Daisy is less than impressed, but Johnny assures her he knows his faults and promises to be a better husband to Jenny. court, Frankie remains conflicted over whether or not she should give Katy a character reference.

When he sees her trying to defend her troublesome beau, he knows something is up. Asha confides in him, admitting she loathes Corey and is only taking his side in the hope he’ll slip up and confess. Sharon is also up to something as she hatches a plan to find Simon. Her new strategy involves getting herself into No7. She hits up Dev for a bottle of wine and manages to get hold of his keys. After letting herself in, she messages Simon from Aadi’s games console, hoping she’ll be able to track him online. The McQueens are desperate to protect John Paul, who it looks like is going to jail for George’s murder. Theresa thinks she’s found the mystery witness who places John Paul at the crime scene, but how can they prove they are lying? However, this is the McQueens we’re talking about – soon they’ve found a way to trap the witness, while at the same time the net is closing in on the killer. Plus, the Deveraux family beg Martine to change her mind about her treatment for breast cancer, and Darren hopes to move out of the “friend zone” with Nancy. Toadie and Melanie are enjoying their affair – maybe too much, as a near-miss with Terese teaches them to be more careful. Mackenzie also notices tension between the pair. It won’t be long before this workplace fling is exposed. Hospital serial killer Lewis has another victim in mind as he prepares to inject lethal drugs in to Dr Christian, who he blames for the death of his wife Anna and her baby.

First up are retired couple Sue and Tom, who decided to sell their home in Yorkshire to move down south to be closer to Sue’s grandson – but the house sold more quickly than they anticipated. ★★★★ It’s the penultimate episode and there are just days to go until Johnny launches his glamping site. So, in theory, everything should be ready to go, but instead he’s driving master craftsman Pauleo to despair with his last-minute design changes for the Maltese bus. Bev is also busy putting the finishing touches to the Yorkshire site. ★★★★ For viewers of a certain age, it’s hard to picture Footloose without Kevin Bacon, but Kenny Wormald does a decent job of stepping into his dancing shoes in this remake. A teenager moves from Boston to a small town in Georgia, where he’s horrified to learn that dancing has been banned by the local preacher (Dennis Quaid). ★★★★ SKY ONE 6.00am Firefighters 7.00 Futurama 8.00 Monkey Life 9.00 Road Wars 10.00 Highway Cops 11.00 NCIS: Los Angeles: double bill 1.00pm Hawaii Five-0 3.00 S.W.A.T 4.00 Modern Family: double bill 5.00 The Simpsons 5.30 Futurama 6.00 Futurama Sci-fi capers. 6.30 The Simpsons Triple bill. 8.00 There’s Something About Movies The return of the comedy panel show, hosted by Alan Carr. 9.00 SEAL Team Bravo tries to infiltrate a Boko Haram camp. 10.00 Bloods Maleek bumps into old flame and single mum Nicole. 10.30 A League of Their Own Road Trip: Loch Ness to London 11.30 Road Wars Documentary. 12.30am Redknapp’s Big Night Out 1.30 Road Wars: double bill 3.00 NCIS: Los Angeles 4.00 Highway Cops: double bill 5.00 S.W.A.T SKY ATLANTIC 6.00am Richard E Grant’s Hotel Secrets 7.00 Elementary 9.00 Oz: double bill 11.15 Dexter 1.30pm Elementary 3.30 Boardwalk Empire 5.40 The Sopranos.

Some of them seem utterly inept, their supposedly money-spinning, foolproof schemes picked apart within seconds by the Dragons. Still, it makes for great TV. Whether or not any of the latest batch of would-be entrepreneurs can impress remains to be seen, but they’ll have to pull out all the stops if they’re to receive any investment from the resident millionaires. Plantable children’s books are undoubtedly the most bonkers-sounding idea from the latest batch of products, which also includes an ambitious at-home chef service, home fragrances and scent-detection courses for dogs. ★★★★ GOLD 7.30am Ever Decreasing Circles: double bill 8.40 Hi-de-Hi! 9.20 Only Fools and Horses 10.00 Last of the Summer Wine: double bill 11.20 Keeping Up Appearances 12.00noon Hold the Sunset 12.40 Only Fools and Horses 1.20 Ever Decreasing Circles 2.00 Hi-de-Hi! 2.40 Dad’s Army 3.20 Keeping Up Appearances 4.00 Hold the Sunset 4.40 Last of the Summer Wine 6.00 Hi-de-Hi!
