England fans fling pints into the air in packed out pubs across the country as Jude Bellingham scores second goal in World Cup quarter-final against Norway

England fans flung pints into the air at pubs up and down the country as Jude Bellingham scored an equaliser in England's World Cup clash against Norway

Fans flung pints into the air at pubs up and down the country as Jude Bellingham put England in front after their World Cup clash with Norway headed into extra time. 

There were tense scenes in London, Newcastle and Bristol at the 90-minute mark with both teams level at 1-1.  

But fans jumped onto tables and sent their beer flying when Bellingham scored for England, renewing hopes of the side securing a place in the final four. 

At a sold-out venue in Times Square, Newcastle, supporters began chanting: ‘Don’t take me home, please don’t take me home, I just don’t want to go to work.’

Delirious scenes had been cut short in the first half when Harry Kane snuck one into the back of the net but the goal was disallowed for offside.

There was also nervousness when Norway took their turn to go 2-1 in front but their goal was also scrubbed off the board following a VAR call. 

Bars have been given permission to stay open until 2am or until 30 minutes after the final whistle blows – with 42 million pints expected to be downed this evening. 

WeAreFanZones manager in Newcastle, Briony Young, 32, said: ‘It’s always busy for every England game but today’s sold out in record time.

‘Even though it’s a bit drizzly and overcast, a little bit of rain won’t put us Geordies off.

‘There’s been a real party atmosphere in the city all day. Everyone is confident that we can get the job done and march into the semi-final.’

Crowds were buoyed up before the game as a DJ spun an England playlist including World In Motion, Three Lions (On A Shirt) and the Fat Les hit Vindaloo.

A rendition of Wonderwall also rang around the fan zone before kick-off.

Supporters, wary of still being hungover come Monday, chanted: ‘Please don’t take me home, I just don’t want to go to work.

‘I want to stay here and drink all the beer.’

Sunderland fan Jamie Rothwell took his girlfriend Danielle, 37, for a ‘romantic’ night out to watch the Three Lions.

The salesman, 40, said: ‘Is there anything more romantic than Harry Kane putting England in the semi-final of the World Cup?

‘To my mind, it’s the perfect date night.’

Second-year sports student James Mason, 19, said: ‘I think we will win 3-1 with Bellingham and Kane to score. I think it’s inevitable that Haaland will score.

‘I’ve put a tenner on it, which will bring in £290. If that happens, we’ll be out until Monday.’

Friend George Dean, 19, added: ‘We’re going to be out all night, drinking all the beers because it’s coming home.’

Tonight is anticipated to be the busiest night for pubs since England’s 2018 World Cup semi-final.

Wearing bucket hats with St George’s flag, the crowd loudly sang football chants and songs as they prepared for the match.

Mark Bowring, 52, has travelled from Buckinghamshire to the north-west London venue with his two sons to watch the game on the big screen.

Ryan Dougan said he believed the Three Lions have a chance of going all the way in the World Cup.

Commenting on how optimistic he was for the Three Lions in the tournament, he said: ‘I’m getting bullish.

‘I don’t think, France aside, I don’t think anyone’s looked significantly better than us.

‘We’ll deal with France if we get them in the final, but I think we can beat anyone.

‘One game at a time, let’s go.’

Another England supporter said he fancies the Three Lions’ chances more against Norway than he would have had Brazil progressed to the quarter finals.

Max Gill, 27, from London, said: ‘I think they’re (Norway) going to probably sit deep.

‘I wouldn’t fancy us more against Brazil, to be honest – they’d come out and attack.

‘So, I’m still relatively confident, but a bit wary of Haaland on the counter.

‘So, maybe 1-0 and then just sit back after.’

Belfast Live

The six-time major champion endured a frustrating start to his round at Royal Birkdale due to some costly missed putts.

Rory McIlroy had commentators in awe as he drove a par four measuring over 400 yards in the opening round of the Open Championship.

The six-time major champion endured a frustrating start to his round at Royal Birkdale due to some costly missed putts.

After three opening pars, McIlroy bogeyed the par three fourth hole and missed a short putt on the par three seventh hole.

McIlroy looked set to pick up a shot on the eighth hole after a sublime second shot, only to miss a birdie putt from inside four feet.

The 2014 Open Champion then stepped onto the 415-yard par four ninth hole cutting a frustrated figure.

While the rest of the field were playing the hole as a two-shotter, McIlroy had other ideas, taking his driver out of the bag to cheers from the fans surrounding the tee box.

McIlroy then proceeded to unleash a monstrous drive that ended up rolling all the way onto the green.

It set up a two-putt birdie for McIlroy to make the turn in 35 strokes at one-over-par, which, at the time of writing, is six shots behind American Jackson Suber.

Sainsbury’s opens first store at Manchester Airport

The new Sainsbury’s Local opened in Terminal 3 Arrivals on today (July 16), making Manchester the third UK airport to have a Sainsbury’s store after Edinburgh and London Luton.

The convenience store is expected to create 24 jobs and will stock a range of everyday essentials, including meal deals, snacks, drinks, groceries and household items for passengers and airport staff.

Customers will also be able to collect online orders from Argos and Habitat at the store, giving travellers the option to pick up purchases before departing or after returning from a trip.

The opening comes as Manchester Airport continues a major transformation of Terminal 3.

The terminal has expanded following the closure of Terminal 1 earlier this year, with part of the former terminal incorporated into T3.

A new 400-seat sports bar has already opened in the departure lounge, while Italian restaurant Terracotta is due to open later this year.

Richard Jackson, Retail Director at Manchester Airport, said: “It’s wonderful to see such an iconic name joining the line-up of places to eat, drink and shop in Terminal 3.

“We know when passengers arrive back into the country after a trip abroad, they value the convenience of being able to pick up the essentials they need to restock their fridges or kitchen cupboards right here.

“This is a great addition to our retail options in T3 Arrivals and I’m sure it’ll prove very popular.

“The added bonus of being able to collect your Argos or Habitat orders from this store means you can order something while on holiday and pick it up as soon as you arrive back at the airport – or order essentials for your trip and pick them up before you check in for your flight.”

David Pilbeam, Sainsbury’s Director of Acquisitions, Capital Projects and Engineering, said the company was pleased to expand its presence in UK transport hubs.

He said: “We’re delighted to have opened our brand-new Sainsbury’s Local in Manchester Airport today, where we’re excited to play a key role in the ongoing regeneration of Terminal 3.

“We’re passionate about bringing more delicious Sainsbury’s food to more customers in more locations throughout the UK.

“Part of this includes our continued expansion into key transport hubs like UK train stations and, more recently, airports.

“I’m looking forward to seeing our third airport store build on the success of our first two as we bring some of the best of Sainsbury’s convenience offer to the busy passengers and colleagues in Manchester Airport, 24 hours a day.”

Lego’s latest art set is a literal masterpiece with Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss

Lego’s latest art set is a literal masterpiece with Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss
Brick-based art (Lego)

Rather than spaceships or race cars the latest Lego set for adults is the biggest entry yet in their Art Masterpiece line, featuring the work of Gustav Klimt.

The modern popularity of Lego is not due to it just appealing to kids or even to adults obsessed with pop culture franchises like Star Wars and Harry Potter. In recent years it’s been because Lego make sets based on all kinds of things, from the Botanicals range to footballers.

One of their more unexpected themes has been recreations of famous art, including iconic works such as Keith Haring’s Dancing Figures, the Mona Lisa, Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers, and Claude Monet’s Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies.

All of the sets are made using ordinary Lego pieces and that means they all have a 3D effect too, where the image sticks some way out from the (brick-built) canvas. It feels like it shouldn’t work but they all look surprisingly good and this new one, featuring Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss, might be the best yet.

Advertisement

The Kiss, originally called The Lovers, is an oil-on-canvas painting with gold leaf, silver, and platinum that was painted sometime around 1907, by Austrian Symbolist Gustav Klimt.

It features a man and a woman (possibly Orpheus and Eurydice from Greek myth) embracing, while wearing expensive-looking robes inspired by the Art Nouveau movement.

The painting is one of the most famous of the 20th century and really not the sort of thing you’d expect to see made out of Lego, especially not with all the gold and other precious metals.

The model is made with existing pieces in unusual colours (Lego)

As a result, it’s the biggest Art set so far and made up of 4,000 individual pieces. Inevitably, it’s the most expensive too, at £269.99, but it is kind of shocking how realistic it looks – especially from a distance.

Look closer and you can see how the effect was pulled off, with things like gold coloured coiled whips used for some of the circular shapes and a complex mix of rectangles and very small squares and quarter-circles.

Advertisement

The set was created in conjunction with the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, where the original painting is permanently displayed, and there’s a special podcast featuring the Lego designer and museum curator Stephanie Auer that will be available from August 1 on Lego.com, Spotify, and YouTube.

The set (#31221) will be released on August 4, via the Lego website and retail stores, but if you’re a Lego Insider (which requires only a free sign-up) you can get it from August 1.

The complete model measures 60cm by 54cm when finished and is 4cm deep. Like most of the Art Masterpiece range you can also hang it from the wall, like a regular painting, via a special Lego piece on the back.

The once-glamorous British hotels that have lost their sparkle – with filthy rooms, faded grandeur and damning reviews

Published

on

The Imperial Hotel in Blackpool has lost its previously timeless allure

From dilapidated entrance signs to faded facades, filthy carpets, dated curtains and a general air of neglect, some of Britain’s most elaborate buildings have long lost their allure as ‘grande dames’ of the hotel world.

While many towns and cities across the country previously played host to a variety of upmarket establishments, some have failed to maintain their often expensive exteriors and interiors.

A stay at some of these hotels is more likely to feel like a bargain break than a luxury escape – where you’ll find yourself inspecting each and every glass for fingerprints instead of truly relaxing.

Formerly iconic hotels and seaside resorts, from Blackpool to Bognor Regis, are among the worst in the country, exhibiting a real fall from grace.

Here are some of the worst offenders…

The Imperial Hotel, Blackpool

The Imperial Hotel in Blackpool has lost its previously timeless allure

While the exterior of Blackpool’s Imperial Hotel may once have hinted at its upper-crust status, unfortunately nowadays it’s more ‘tacky’ than ‘timeless’.

‘The decline of the rooms and the standard of service was shocking. We booked a premier room. It was far from premier,’ one disgruntled visitor wrote of the hotel this summer.

‘Shoddy room with decor and furnishings badly requiring an upgrade. Watered down toiletries. Bathrobes missing, eventually supplied without a belt. Carpet was filthy. We could go on…’

It fits within the town’s overall decline, too. The Blackpool Tower, pier and coastline have provided the backdrop for many a British family holiday over the last few decades – but in recent years, the town has gone from dynamic destination to hopelessly gauche.

Indeed, when a town markets itself as ‘affordable’, all too often that goes along with another description – ‘tacky’.

The Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool

The Britannia Adelphi Hotel is one of Liverpool’s most famous establishments, with visitors over the years including Sir Winston Churchill and the hotel featuring in the 1997 fly-on-the-wall BBC documentary series Hotel, narrated by Andrew Sachs. 

The first Adelphi Hotel on the present site was opened in 1826 by owner James Radley. 

But it’s faced a string of disastrous events in recent years. 

Advertisement

Its owner, Britannia Hotels, appeared in court to face 20 charges of breaching health and safety regulations after the death of Chloe Haynes in September 2022. 

The court heard the hotel was an ‘unsafe place’, after the 21-year-old died from a falling wardrobe and a three-year-old girl suffered head injuries from a cabinet.

The Grand Hotel, Scarborough

The Grand Hotel opened in Scarborough in 1867, and at that time was the largest hotel in Europe.

It was a favourite among the aristocracy, with its glamorous entrance hall, gorgeous main staircase and well-adorned interiors.

However, a combination of factors such as its acquisition by Britannia Hotels in 2004, underinvestment, maintenance issues and customer complaints have culminated in it being dubbed the ‘shame of Scarborough’.

‘The lobby is given over to dark, faux leather armchairs, plastic ferns, slot machines and Find A Key games (‘winner every time!’). The air is perfumed by fry-ups,’ Mark Palmer wrote in the Daily Mail.

‘Social media is awash with posts about how The Grand, part of the Britannia chain – and a Butlins at one time – is the worst hotel in the country.’

When you think of Art Deco hotels, you might picture high ceilings, impressive windows and glamorous designs.

Riviera Hotel in Weymouth might once have been this type of establishment – but less so right now.

One Facebook user wrote: ‘The “owner” does not care for it, everything that was done as part of the “refurbishment” back then was done on the cheap, as well as being ripped off by several building companies, hence its state now. 

Advertisement

‘Such a shame, it would need millions now to put it right and with listed building status.’

Fortunately, the hotel is set to undergo a refurb, so only time will tell whether it will redeem itself. It is closed for the time being.

The Metropole Hotel, Blackpool

Built in 1776, The Metropole Hotel in Blackpool is the only hotel on the shoreline side of the promenade.

‘Wipe your feet on the way out!’ one visitor wrote. ‘I stayed there before it was acquired by the Home Office for use. The place was an absolute dump of a place. Avoid at all costs.’

Blackpool was at its best from the 1870s to the 1950s, when new railway links made it easily accessible, a win for those living in landlocked towns across the UK.

In the 1980s, it had a reputation for a vibrant nightlife – but unfortunately competition from increasingly easy-to-book Mediterranean holidays became far more appealing than, well, a weekend by the Irish Sea.

The Metropole Hotel is very much part of that decline.

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel in Aviemore is next up on the list

If you look up Coylumbridge Resort Hotel in Aviemore, you’ll be met with images of the establishment during its heyday. 

On paper, it has a 65-acre woodland estate, dining options, a relaxing spa, an indoor pool, an adventure park and a soft play area. 

However, in reality, it’s far less glamorous than that, with dated carpets and poor service – and none of the facilities are quite as nice as they sound.

One undercover Daily Mail hotel inspector said: ‘The service at reception was the worst I could remember from any hotel.’ 

Royal Grosvenor Hotel, Weston-super-Mare

Weston-super-Mare is among the UK’s formerly perfect seaside towns that fell into disrepair when Brits started heading abroad instead.

And few parts of the town demonstrate this quite like the Royal Grosvenor Hotel.

Advertisement

Described as ‘shockingly poor’ and with ‘terrible service’, many guests have discouraged others from booking a stay here.

Now, though, the hotel has been listed for a guide price of £1.5million – meaning it could be bought and refurbished in the future.

Distressing video shows elderly woman trapped inside hot Tesla that was supposed to be in ‘pet safe mode’

Published

on

A grandmother in Washington State was rescued from a hot Tesla after she was trapped inside for more than an hour. She is pictured waving her hand in front of her face to show she was hot

Distressing police body camera footage has captured the moment sheriff’s deputies rescued a grandmother who was trapped inside a hot Tesla for more than an hour. 

The close call took place a little after 5.15pm in Washington State‘s Kitsap County, which is just west of Seattle.

Bystanders called 911 after seeing an elderly woman trapped inside the electric vehicle because she seemed to be in distress. Deputies with the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office arrived and attempted to open the doors, but they were locked. 

It was later determined that the Tesla had been operating in ‘pet safe mode,’ a feature meant to keep the air conditioning on while the doors are locked from the inside to prevent pets from escaping. The air conditioning had not been functioning, however.

When the deputies arrived, they attempted to communicate with the woman inside the vehicle, but she only spoke Spanish. At one point in the bodycam video, she can be seen waving her hand in front of her face, seemingly to show that she was hot.

The video also shows a deputy asking, ‘Are you okay?’ before the grandmother gestured in a way that showed she did not understand. He then asked her if she had a phone while pointing to his device, and she waved her finger no.

The deputy used an online translation tool to communicate with the woman, typing phrases and then placing his phone against the window so she could read them. 

The officers soon determined that the woman had been in the car for at least an hour while her granddaughter had gone into a building nearby to conduct business.

‘One hour,’ one of the deputies said in the video after he could be seen leaning towards the window communicating with the elderly woman. ‘That’s a long-a** time – one hour,’ he then said while turning back to look at the other deputy. 

The granddaughter appears to have left the car in ‘pet safe mode’ so her grandma would be comfortable, but the feature appeared to have malfunctioned, turning the vehicle into a rapidly heating prison.

The deputies searched nearby businesses to find the woman’s granddaughter and located her about 15 minutes after arriving at the scene, according to the timestamp on the body camera footage.

‘Do you have a white Tesla?’ a deputy can be heard asking a woman who was sitting on a bench inside a courtyard of one of the buildings. 

‘Yes? Is it parked right over here?’ the deputy continued. ‘Okay, is that your grandmother in there? I need you to come with me right now.’ 

The deputy escorted the granddaughter to the Tesla, and she was able to unlock its doors. The elderly woman was then finally able to climb out and cool off. 

The responding officers estimated that the temperature inside the vehicle was about 100F by the time the grandmother was able to exit.

Temperatures in the area reached a high of 86F on Tuesday, according to the Weather Channel. 

The deputies soon located the elderly woman's granddaughter, who had left her in the car to conduct business in a nearby building

According to the National Weather Service, ‘The temperature inside a vehicle can rise 20 degrees in as little as 10 minutes, and 50 degrees in an hour- even when outside air temperatures are in the 70s.’

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office deputies documented the worrying incident and forwarded the information to Adult Protective Services for review.

Could Iran’s ‘sadistic’ regime still collapse from within? NATALIE LISBONA shares haunting stories from those trapped inside the country as fury at the Ayatollahs nears ‘boiling point’

Published

on

The regime's repression has only worsened since mass protests swept the country in late December and January

On a special episode of the Daily Mail’s Deep Dive podcast, Middle East Correspondent Natalie Lisbona and Chief Foreign Correspondent Andy Jehring exchange stories from inside a teetering Islamic Republic.

Lisbona and Jehring collaborated on a recent investigation for the Daily Mail, which shared correspondences each had with regular people living in Iran.

These brave men and women, who were anonymised in the piece for their safety, painted a picture of a society governed by ‘complete repression’, Lisbona said, where public executions, sexual violence and state surveillance are a daily occurrence.

The regime’s repression has only worsened since mass protests swept the country in late December and January. During the bloodiest 48 hours of the crackdown, on January 8 and 9, more than 30,000 protest-related deaths were reportedly registered in civilian hospitals.

The regime’s repression has only worsened since mass protests swept the country in late December and January

‘They’re talking about a country in which you’re constantly watched,’ Lisbona said, describing what her sources told her about life six months on from the massacre.

‘You’re not allowed to convert to Christianity. There are executions in public. One Iranian dissident told me that when they watched The Handmaid’s Tale, they felt it was based on Iran.

‘I have heard so many stories of sexual violence perpetrated by the Basij [the regime’s militia].

‘The government controls everything. The authorities can simply shut down the internet whenever they want. Many don’t know where their families are.’

Reporting on these horrors is made even harder, Jehring said, by another prong of the regime’s repression: disinformation.

The Islamic Republic has weaponised artificial intelligence, he explained, deploying it to confuse the world’s media and terrify its own people.

He said: ‘There have been some very stressful moments in trying to ensure we weren’t repeating regime propaganda… it’s so interesting and disturbing how it works.

‘They actually put out AI generated images of people who are not actually on death row, as a kind of fear tactic.’

Elsewhere in the podcast, Lisbona said some of the Iranians she spoke to felt ‘very disappointed’ that Washington chose to strike a deal with the Islamic Republic rather than see its stated aim of regime change through.

President Donald Trump had promised protesters back in January that ‘help is on its way’. When Operation Epic Fury was launched in February, Lisbona said her sources were ‘jumping for joy’.

But with a chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil passes, serving as a bargaining chip, it seems likely the Islamic Republic will survive the conflict.

‘[The Iranians] felt really left alone,’ Lisbona said.

‘But they’re very determined. They do say: ‘That’s not going to stop us.’

Tom Kerridge names the worst thing he’s ‘ever eaten’ and says ‘it was rotten’

Wales Online

Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has been in the food and hospitality industry for over 30 years, but he has now named the worst thing he’s eaten

Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has discussed what he considers the worst meal he’s consumed. Tom, 52, has more than 30 years’ experience working in the food and hospitality sector.

Despite his dedication to work, he has from time to time taken a break, and it was during one overseas trip that he came across a dish he would later describe as the worst he’s ever had.

Speaking on the Good Food Tasted podcast hosted by comedian Patrick Spicer, he was asked by the presenter what the worst food he’d ever tasted was.

At that moment, Tom responded without hesitation. He knew precisely the dish in question and where he had consumed it, reports Gloucestershire Live.

He said: “It was a burger in a, it was 100 percent the worst thing I have ever eaten, in a waterpark somewhere in Portugal and it was beyond. It was the most rotten thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.”

“It was just the worst because it was just like. It was so bad, without doubt. Now, I’ve eaten lots of daft, bad things, like century egg or…like fermented fish and I mean shark fin and all of that sort of stuff.

“This is something that you buy going ‘Yeah, great, I’m going to have burger and fries at a water park somewhere in Portugal’ and it was the worst the thing. It was so bad.”

Meanwhile, when it comes to the very survival of hospitality, Tom has been vocal in his support of the industry despite the numerous economic challenges that have impacted it in recent years.

He has consistently campaigned for greater assistance to be provided, but lately he has been outspoken as he advocates for a VAT cut for hospitality firms; a measure that could save some businesses millions.

If it were reduced, Tom and others have suggested this could offer a valuable slice of relief as businesses continue to battle to stay open.

While England’s involvement during the World Cup has provided a boost, with trading hours stretching into the early hours on some occasions, the tournament concludes this weekend.

With this in mind, figures within the hospitality sector have called for more enduring measures. Speaking to City AM about his latest proposal, Tom contended that businesses were not simply entities which paid taxes and that small enterprises should also receive support.

He said: “No successful business has ever been built on the accountant. Businesses are not built on tax experts. Communities don’t operate on tax experts. And that’s not even a pleasant title, that shows you what that sort of person is.

“Without allowing small businesses to grow, you’re never going to get to that point. So yes, their profit margins will be bigger, but it isn’t about them […] it’s about the survival of your local pub.”

‘Like Katie’s a friend of mine. No one can make me hate Kate, but this guy, I told her to her face when I seen her the other month, it’s bad vibes.’

In May Katie filmed an Instagram video with Olivia during the time of Lee’s first arrest as the two said they are ‘two gals with not a husband in sight’ (sic).

Chatting to the camera, Katie said: ‘We’re missing something’, as Olivia replied: ‘Yeah, well I have looked for him but…’

‘Well mine is missing so at the moment it doesn’t look good does it’, Katie said.

‘No we’ll keep looking I guess’, Olivia replied.

‘We’re missing our husbands’, added Katie as the pair started to laugh.

In a second photo, Katie and Olivia held their hands over their faces looking shocked as they penned: ‘2 gals. Not a husband in sight @katieprice’ (sic).

Meanwhile last week Vogue responded to Lee‘s Instagram rant about her, in a hilarious exchange on her podcast which saw him send a bizarre message back in return.

The unlikely celeb feud has been going on for weeks with Vogue calling out Katie’s husband and his outlandish antics, prompting Lee to respond on Instagram insisting he had never heard of the TV star.

During the latest episode of her My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast with Joanne McNally, Vogue decided to message Lee directly to ask about his online rants directed at her. 

On previous episodes of her podcast Vogue initially said she was reluctant to talk about Lee because she has a problem with the fact he is trying to ‘make people seem stupid’ by feeding them fabricated stories.

‘He’s taking the p**s out of everybody. This is why I have such a problem with it, I’ve likened it to being really stupid. He’s trying to make people seem stupid and think that we actually believe his b******t and I can’t bear it.

Vogue has also said she feels sorry for Katie, and called him a ‘con artist’. 

Lee then posted on Instagram, promising to ‘name and shame the 58, the 60 people from the celeb world that actually basically slating me’.

Lee continued to the camera: ‘[Everyone] everything bad about me, saying all these things that are not true. I’m gonna call them out individually because why not, they’ve dubbed me their Britain’s Bad Boy, might as well play into that now.’

He went on to accuse the I’m A Celeb star of being a ‘clout chaser’ and claimed he had ‘never even heard of Vogue Williams’ and ‘had to google who she actually was’.

On the latest episode of her podcast with Joanne, Vogue laughed off the comments, telling listeners: ‘Lee tagged me and said that I was clout chasing after his name and his 150 million followers!’

Joanne jumped in and said ‘the absolute hypocrisy of a man who lives to chase clout. He literally set up a cameo two weeks after marrying Katie Price. I’ve never seen clout chasing like it.’

‘He tagged me again I’m getting it in the neck again tonight at 10:00 p.m. UK time,’ Vogue then said.
