A GROUP of artists are preparing to showcase their work at an annual print fair.

The York Printmakers Annual Print Fair will take place this weekend – from September 19 to 20 – at York Cemetery, where visitors can explore a wide range of handmade prints, including linocuts, etchings, collagraphs, and wood engravings.

More than 20 artists will be exhibiting and selling their work during the two-day event, which runs from 10am to 5pm in the Chapel and Harriet Room.

Among those taking part is Jen Dring, who discovered printmaking after watching a linocut demonstration.

Jen said: “I was instantly fascinated.

Jane Duke, another member of the collective, said the appeal lies in both the process and the people who share it.

Jane said: “It’s not just the element of surprise.

“It’s the generosity of the printmaking community that keeps me coming back.”

Roger Goldthorpe, who began printmaking after retirement, has turned a brief exploration into a lasting passion.

Now 79, he continues to produce original work and demonstrates that creativity is not limited by age.

The scales well and truly fell from Mackenzie Boyd’s (Lawrence Robb) eyes in Emmerdale as, despite Sarah Sugden’s (Katie Hill) best efforts to fix the mess she’d made for Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), the police didn’t believe her.

Sarah, as viewers know, was appalled to discover the truth about baby Leyla being her gran and Ross Barton’s (Michael Parr) biological child and, in a bid to punish her, she went to the police and claimed that Charity had murdered Dr Todd (Caroline Harker) in cold blood.

Charity had already taken the blame for the crime to protect Sarah, who is the real culprit, claiming she killed rapist Todd in self-defence, but Sarah threw her under the bus as part of a cruel revenge scheme.

After much intervention, Sarah finally saw the light and went to the police to change her statement once more, revealing that she was just trying to teach her gran a lesson, reiterating that Charity is innocent.

But despite this, the police didn’t seem to believe her, meaning it’s all up to a jury now to decide Charity’s fate. Mack was speechless. Is Charity’s fate sealed thanks to Sarah’s meddling?

If you’re eager to find out what’s to come following tonight’s edition of the ITV soap, you’re in luck as here’s what tomorrow will bring.

What happens next in Emmerdale? Spoilers for Friday, September 18 episode

Following tonight’s cliffhanger, Mack will no doubt struggle to come to terms with the latest update on Charity’s future. Charity has entered a not guilty plea, which means a trial is an inevitability at this stage.

With Sarah’s efforts having failed to get her gran out from behind bars, her fate now lies solely in the hands of a jury. Will Charity be able to convince the jury of her innocence? Or is a tragic fate sealed at this stage?

Elsewhere, Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) gets fed up of waiting for Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnston) to pop the question and thus he decides to get down on one knee.

Vinny’s reaction, however, isn’t the one he hoped for.

The long-awaited showdown between Kim Tate (Claire King) and Sadie King (Patsy Kensit) is almost upon us too, with the Home Farm legends having a hostile run-in in the village.

And speaking of Sadie, she subsequently pays Cain (Jeff Hordley) a visit, demanding the money he stole from her two decades ago. Cain rejects such a demand – that is until she drops a mammoth bombshell.

Joe (Ned Porteous), meanwhile, relents and allows Clemmie and Lucas to attend Dawn’s (Olivia Bromley) funeral with Billy (Jay Kontzle) – but he’s got a trick up his sleeve.

Emmerdale airs these scenes Friday, September 18 at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX or YouTube.

In case you hadn’t noticed, Ed Sheeran has been in the news lately.

The Shape of You hitmaker has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism after Macklemore was removed from Sheeran’s upcoming Loop Tour for expressing his solidarity and support for Palestine.

Following Macklemore’s removal, all of the support acts for the tour stepped away in solidarity, including Finneas and Sheeran’s backing band Beoga.

Questions remain over what is happening next with Ed Sheeran’s tour amidst the backlash, but it is a significant moment that has seen Sheeran’s safe and carefully cultivated brand take a hit on such a public scale.

Being one of the most successful songwriters of all time does make it easy to forget that Sheeran began from very humble beginnings before going on to sell over 120million records worldwide.

Where did Ed Sheeran grow up?

Ed was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, in 1991 but largely grew up in Suffolk in a very artistic household.

His dad, John, is an art curator and lecturer, while his mum, Imogen, is a culture publicist and jewellery designer – and from a young age, Ed showed a liking for music (so did his brother, in fact, who became a composer himself).

He sang in the church choir from the age of four. He learned to play guitar at 11 and also played the cello, with his classmates at Thomas Mills High School voting him as most likely to be famous.

First independent releases and busking

When he was just 13, Ed began recording music and released his first independent work with the collection title Spinning Man.

From there, he kept on writing and recording before moving to London in 2008 to begin performing at small venues and even busking out on London street corners.

It was also at this time that he auditioned for the show Britannia High, a musical drama which ran for one season and acted as essentially the British version ofFame, following a group of kids in a performing arts school looking to achieve their dreams.

Ed was not successful in getting cast, but you can see his audition on YouTube.

College dropout and SB.TV breakthrough

In 2009, Ed began studying music at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford, but he didn’t stick around long.

After getting the opportunity to support hip-hop artist Just Jack on tour, he dropped out of ACM without permission to exploit the chance in front of him.

Soon after, he released a new EP called You NeedMe and posted a video through SB.TV, a new media company on YouTube that specifically highlights emerging talent in the acoustic, freestyling and hip hop scene.

Off the back of the video’s success, Ed was invited to support Example on tour before releasing his next EP Loose Change, which would feature his breakthrough single The A Team.

Loose Change would go on to become certified Gold in 2024, with over 100,000 copies in the UK alone.

He also began to get exposure in the US around this time, forming an unlikely friendship with musician and Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx, who spotted the young Sheeran at an open mic night in LA.

Foxx invited Sheeran to both stay at his home while in LA and to perform on his SiriusXM radio show, giving Sheeran his first major exposure in the US.

Chart success with Plus

Now something of a viral success on YouTube, and touring with popular artists, a studio deal quickly followed, with his first studio album Plus being released in 2011.

It reached number one on the UK album charts and became the second best-selling debut album in the UK at the time. It has now gone 9x Platinum in the UK, has spent over 400 weeks in the UK album charts and is currently the 27th best-selling album of the 21st century.

To cap off the success, Ed was awarded two Brit Awards in 2012, for British Breakthrough Act and British Male Solo Artists

Continued chart success

From there, it seemed the sky was the limit, with Ed going on to release eight studio albums to date, including2014’s Multiply, 2017’s Divide and 2021’s Equals.

Alongside those, he has also released No.6 Collaborations Project (2019), Autumn Variations (2023) and Play (2025).

Four of them have peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 charts, while Shape of You from the album Divide has gone on to become one of his most successful songs.

It was the first song to hit two billion streams on Spotify and went 11x Platinum in 2025.

Concert tour earnings

Like any popular recording artist, Ed Sheeran has, of course, gone on a number of major tours across his career, earning millions from his shows.

As of 2025, Ed Sheeran has reportedly sold over 19million tickets worldwide, wth his nominal gross standing around $1.75billion (£1.29m) according to Pollstar.

That puts him in ninth place when ranking the best-selling musical acts of all time, ahead of such icons as Celine Dion, Madonna and Paul McCartney.

In fact, at the time his Divide 2017-2019 tour ended U2’s eight-year reign of the highest-grossing concert tour of all time – a record that was later broken by Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in 2023 (which was then quickly topped by Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour).

Songwriting and acting

Ed Sheeran has also continued to make a name for himself outside of his own music, as he has also written for a number of other artists.

Some of the most famous examples include Justin Bieber’s Love Yourself and BTS’s Permission to Dance.

He has also contributed to songs for the likes of One Direction, Hilary Duff and Rita Ora.

He has also been no stranger to both the big and small screen, appearing in a number of movies and TV shows in roles that range from cameos to more substantial parts.

He has played himself in Bridget Jones’s Baby, Yesterday and Red Notice, but perhaps is best known for appearing in an episode of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones.

He featured in the opening episode of season seven, titled Dragonstone, and even sang a song titled Hands of Gold.

His appearance in the show got, shall we say, a mixed reaction, with some fans finding that it broke the sense of immersion in the world.

Even stars of the show took issue, with Hodor star Kristian Nairn saying to the Huffington Post: ‘It’s a fantasy show. We’re all caught in this amazing world and spend so much time and money and talent to create, and all of a sudden there’s a pop star? What?’

What is Ed Sheeran’s net worth?

With all this success, a lot of people obviously ask the question: just how much money is Ed Sheeran worth?

You should always keep in mind that determining a celeb’s net worth is not an exact science, so always take figures given with a pinch of salt, but Ed is reportedly worth somewhere in the region of $400million (£299.1m).

This is based on both his enormous success as a musician and a portfolio that includes such enterprises as Gingerbread Man Records, his own line of hot sauce, his Sheeran by Lowden guitar business and his minority stake in Ipswich Town Football Club.

More details about Lady Gaga and her fiance Michael Polansky’s newborn baby have been revealed. 

A birth certificate obtained by TMZ revealed the sex and name of the couple’s newborn child, as well as details about her birth. 

The baby is a girl named Rose Bean Polansky who was born on  June 9 at 11:19 PM at Los Angeles‘s famed Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a hospital many celebrities have previously given birth at. 

Dr. Robert Katz was the doctor who delivered the child.

News Gaga and Polansky had welcomed a child first came to light last week after she mysteriously dropped out of the public eye.

Page Six broke the news and then published photos of the couple with their newborn baby.

Gaga (real name: Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) and Polansky have been engaged since April of 2024, and they began dating back in 2019. 

During an appearance in October 2025 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she said motherhood would be her ‘next starring role.’

‘I would like to do many things, yeah, all of these things,’ she said after Colbert asked if she wanted to continue acting in films or performing on Broadway. ‘But, what I really want is to be a mom. That’s my next starring role, I hope.’

While speaking to the New York Times in March 2025, Gaga said she was ‘excited to be a mom,’ even though she ‘used to have a lot of apprehension about it.’

‘I’m also kind of at war with myself sometimes as I get ready to, hopefully, become a mom soon,’ she added. ‘Like, today is wonderful, but the whole day has revolved around me. There’s an incredible amount of narcissism in this.’

Gaga’s plans for becoming a mother may not end with just one child.

‘She has only one sister, Natali, and always wanted more siblings. So she wants her children to have many siblings so they can all lean on each other,’ a source told the Daily Mail.

So far, there’s no word on when Gaga and Polansky plan to tie the knot, but in March of this year she indicated that they planned to wed ‘soon.’

During an appearance on Bruno Mars’s Romantic Radio TikTok Live, the Poker Face singer said via a recorded message: ‘Me and my fiancé have been traveling all year, but we’re getting married soon. We were hoping you could choose a special song for us.’

The couple are the parents of a baby girl named Rose Bean Polansky

While Christmas is still over three months away, it pays to be prepared. Starting the festive shop now not only reduces stress in December, it spreads the cost over a few months as well as reducing panic-buying.

Among the new shades is Navy Noir Pavé, a rich navy with silver and sapphire sparkle. It costs £33 and shoppers can pick it up with a free branded eye pencil sharpener at no extra cost.

There’s also Cocoa Pavé, a cool rich brown with silver sparkle, as well as Silver Glaze, a chrome silver with silver sparkle. The last addition, Terracotta, is an earthy, warm clay in a matte finish.

In total, there’s 11 beautiful shades to choose from across matte, jewel and shimmer shades. Each one boasts a creamy, smudge-free formula that promises to deliver a vivid, high-performance that remains in place all day and all night long, even after partying.

Infused with skin-loving ingredients for long-lasting wear, the Satin Kajal Liner glides on smoothly for gorgeous colour and eye-calming comfort in a single swipe. It can be used in the waterline as well as all over the lid for a bold makeup look.

Elsewhere, Charlotte Tilbury has reduced its Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Stick by 20% from £27 to £21.60. The crease-proof, waterproof, fade-proof sticks deliver high-impact, buildable colour with a silky-smooth glide, transforming your eye game instantly.

A second wrote: “Never found an eyeliner which goes on smoothly and glides over the eye I am not very good with makeup but this product let me create a smokey eye look I have always wanted without any effort.”

“I absolutely love these,” a third penned. “The pigment is insane, I don’t end up looking like a panda by the end of the day and the pencil glides on like butter. Will definitely keep buying these.”

One shopper, however, found the Satin Kajal Liner to be ‘too subtle’ and gave it a three-star review. It reads: “Not as bold as I would have liked. It’s subtle bronze.”

Another found the liner to be ‘meh’, also giving the liner a three-star review, writing: I thought this was gonna be magical and it’s fine but not life-changing. I expected more. If you’re on the fence cause of the cost, it’s meh.”

But another loved their latest Victoria Beckham Beauty purchase, adding: “The Satin Kajal Jewel Liner is the nicest eye liner I have seen and used. It is so long, it could last forever, such value for money.

“I purchased the sharpener as well as I needed a new one. Very sophisticated branding.”

Another five-star review reads: “Absolutely love this eyeliner. It glides on effortlessly, has beautiful rich pigment, and is incredibly easy to blend while still staying in place.

“The texture feels luxurious and smooth, and it gives the eyes a beautifully defined, sophisticated look. Definitely one of the best eyeliners I’ve used.” Get the Satin Kajal Liner for £33 here.

Michail Antonio has been found guilty of failing to identify the driver of his Lamborghini when it was suspected of involvement in a motoring offence

Former West Ham forward Michail Antonio has been found guilty of failing to disclose the driver of his Lamborghini supercar following an alleged motoring offense in central London.

The 36-year-old was prosecuted by the Metropolitan Police for failing to assist an investigation after his vehicle was spotted being driven without due care and attention in Pall Mall late one night last November.

Appearing before Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court, Antonio denied being behind the wheel, explaining that he was in Manchester while his cousin loaned the vehicle out.

The footballer added that he never received the original police notice requesting the driver’s details, maintaining that the letter must have been lost in the post.

And he gave evidence that he was “shocked” to discover, in February, that he had been charged with a failure to identify the driver.

Antonio told the court he left his cousin to reply to the charge, and believes he then provided details of the guilty driver.

But after a short trial, Antonio was found guilty by magistrates of failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of a vehicle when required.

Magistrate Ian Comfort said the panel was sure the police letter had arrived, and found that Antonio had failed to respond according to the legal requirements.

Antonio already has six penalty points on his licence, after being convicted of driving without insurance in July 2025. He now faces the prospect of an automatic driving ban.

Antonio was the registered keeper of the Lamborghini Urus when it was involved in an incident on Pall Mall at 12.38am on November 5 last year.

The Met wrote to him on November 12 last year to seek the identity of the driver, and commenced a criminal prosecution when it did not receive a response.

Giving evidence, Antonio said he was visiting his children in Manchester from November 3 to 6 last year, and said he had handed over the keys to the Lamborghini to Tarique Josephs who runs a company loaning out cars.

He said he called Josephs in February after receiving a notice of the criminal charge.

“I was in shock”, Antonio said, of his reaction to finding out he was being prosecuted. “How can I be charged with something I haven’t done?

“This is the first time I was aware of that.”

He gave evidence that Josephs “rents my car every now and then”, telling the court: “When someone calls up for a Lamborghini, he will call me and say can I use your Lamborghini.

“I worked out he had the car at the time, he has come across to me to collect the forms, and said he would send the details.”

Josephs told the court he filled out the response to the prosecution, entering a not guilty plea and giving a brief explanation that the car had been on loan.

When questioned why he had not mentioned the other driver’s details on the form, he claimed to have included a copy of the loan agreement in the same envelope when posting it back.

Antonio’s girlfriend, Sunita Bains, gave evidence that she handles the mail to their £2.2million Buckinghamshire mansion, and said she does not believe the initial police letter ever arrived.

The striker is also accused of failing to respond to West Midlands police over a speeding offence in the Lamborghini. He is set to stand trial on that charge next March.

Antonio’s footballing career was derailed in December 2024 when he crashed a Ferrari in Epping Forest in Essex, suffering a badly broken leg.

The star, a Jamaica international, spent three weeks in hospital and was out of the game recovering from his injuries for more than half a year.

Antonio, who has played for Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest, became West Ham’s top scorer in the Premier League during his 10 years at the club.

He left in summer 2025, joining Al Sailiya in Qatar where he made four appearances before signing for Watford on a free transfer earlier this month.
