Like the Carabao Cup first round, the second round is regionalised. This means those representing the capital – Brentford, Fulham, Charlton, Leyton Orient, Millwall, West Ham and AFC Wimbledon – will avoid long trips up north for a midweek fixture later this month and therefore, the possibility of at least one London derby is significantly high.

Jon Hamm is expecting his first child with his wife Anna Osceola, who debuted her baby bump while the couple were at the beach.

The couple, who met on the final season of Mad Men, were spotted enjoying the sun and surf in the Hamptons last week.

The 38-year-old actress wore a green bikini as she showed off her growing baby bump, while her husband Hamm, 55, went shirtless after a dip in the sea.

The couple tied the knot in 2023, in a lavish wedding ceremony at the location where the couple’s characters first met in the hit Madison Avenue advertising drama, and where the show infamously wrapped up its seven-season run.

In that final 2015 episode, Hamm’s character Don Draper visits a spiritual retreat and – depending on your read of the last scene – either experienced a moment of personal enlightenment or thought up the 1971 ‘Hilltop’ advert for Coca-Cola.

His character briefly shared a scene with Osceola’s, who was a receptionist at the retreat in question. 

The couple wed in an outdoor ceremony at Anderson Canyon in Big Sur, with attendees reportedly including Billy Crudup, Tina Fey and Paul Rudd.

Hamm and Osceola made their red carpet debut together at an Oscars afterparty in 2022, seven years after meeting while filming that finale episode and two years after being romantically linked.

Hamm had previously indicated he might not want children while in a long-term relationship with actor and screenwriter Jennifer Westfeldt. The former couple co-starred in several productions, including the 2011 film Friends with Kids.

Hamm told The Guardian in 2008: ‘I don’t necessarily want kids. A lot of our friends are having children and I don’t know if it’s for me. 

‘I haven’t come down hardcore on either side of the argument. I think when people come from a stable family having children becomes a celebration and I’m not sure it would be that way for me.’

Hamm and Westfeldt were together from 1997 to 2015 and never married. 

Speaking to the New York Post in 2008, Hamm said of their relationship: ‘We may not have a piece of paper that says we’re husband and wife, but after 10 years, Jennifer is more than just a girlfriend. What we have is much deeper and we both know that.

‘To me, people get married when they’re ready to have kids, which I’m not ruling out.’

Metro contacted Jon Hamm’s representatives for comment on this story.

Good Morning Britain regular and comedian Adil Ray has offered an update on the future of his ITV quiz show Lingo

A Good Morning Britain star has shared some exciting news away from the ITV breakfast show.

Adil Ray, who regularly hosts the programme in rotation with Ed Balls and Richard Madeley, has confirmed that his hit quiz series Lingo is returning for a sixth series.

The Birmingham-born actor, comedian and presenter logged into his official Instagram account over the weekend to share that the production team are on the lookout for more contestants to try their luck.

Lingo is played between teams of two contestants, tasked with solving mystery words. The team in control is given the first letter of each mystery word and receives five attempts to guess and spell the word.

After each guess, the team is told whether their guess contains letters that are in the mystery word and whether or not they are in the correct position. The two members of the team alternate taking each guess.

If the team fails to identify the word within five guesses, fails to make a guess within the 10-second time limit of each line on the grid, gives a misspelt or otherwise invalid word, each word is checked to ensure that it appears inside an unnamed dictionary approved for use by ITV, control is passed to the opposing team and one of the correct letters is revealed.

Adil penned alongside the advert he posted on his Instagram grid: “Do you fancy being in the next series of Lingo? The team are looking for contestants! See you in September!!”

Unsurprisingly, his exciting announcement left his fans rushing to share a message in the comment section with one follower, writing: “I want to apply but I have nobody to apply with.” Another added: “Hurray glad Lingo is coming i have missed it xx”

The advert reads: “ITV’s hit quiz show isback and we wan you! Got a way with words? Love a bit of friendly competition? You could win thousands of pounds!

“Team up with your partner, sibling, best friend, flatmate, parent or even grandparent! We’re looking for fun, lively duos who are thinking and up for a challenge.” It then goes on to share how willing participants can apply to appear on the show,

In August 2018, Adil temporarily replaced Piers Morgan as a co-host on GMB and since February 2019, he has become a guest presenter appearing during the February, April and Summer Holidays.

He’s best known as the creator, co-writer and star of the long-running BBC One scripted comedy series Citizen Khan and playing the role of Sadiq Nawaz in the Channel 4 drama series Ackley Bridge.

Adil also had major parts in Channel 5 drama series The Inheritance, ITV period drama series Beecham House, and appeared in feature films Blithe Sprit, Arthur’s Whisky, and Picture This.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV and ITVX from 6am and episodes of Lingo are available to watch on ITVX now

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday will sign an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations that promote his long-held belief that certain shots should be spaced out into separate medical visits, according to a White House fact sheet.

The order will recommend separating the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three different shots administered in separate visits, and direct the nation’s health department to improve vaccine research, says the fact sheet, first reported by The Daily Caller. Separate measles, mumps and rubella vaccines for children are not currently available in the U.S.

Public health experts have raised concerns that spacing out shots as Trump suggests can lead to an increased risk that children become infected with a vaccine-preventable disease before returning for another visit. Even as the order calls for revised vaccine recommendations, states, not the federal government, have the authority to require vaccinations for schoolchildren.

Ahead of Monday’s announcement, Trump’s administration had largely pivoted away from talking about vaccine policy in favor of less polarizing topics like healthy eating and efforts to lower drug prices ahead of November’s elections. Polls show most Americans still support school vaccine requirements, though Republicans are less likely than Democrats to see them as important.

Still, Trump has been fixated on connecting autism to vaccines. He has recently ramped up pressure on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to identify the cause of autism, something Kennedy had pledged to do with new research unveiled last year. Trump publicly prodded the health secretary for an update on autism research in a Cabinet meeting last month.

“How are you doing on the autism research?” Trump asked.

“We will have an answer for you,” Kennedy said.

Scientific consensus and decades of studies have firmly concluded there is no link between childhood vaccines and autism. Childhood vaccines — and how and when to give them in combination — go through rigorous studies, and safety tracking continues for years as the shots are used.

The news comes as school years are starting around the country and the nation contends with a measles outbreak that experts say could result in the U.S. losing its measles elimination status.

During the robbery, the man told the victim ‘it’s the knife or the bag’

A man threatened to “throw acid” in officers’ faces following a robbery at a Cambridgeshire pub. Donald Chatten, 20, was in the Lord Protector, in Mayfield Road, Huntingdon, at about 5.15pm on January 13 when he stole the contents of the victim’s ‘side bag’.

The victim, who knew Chatten from school, repeatedly asked for it back. However, without warning, Chatten pulled out a pocketknife with a serrated blade and held it close to the victim’s face, reportedly saying, “it’s the knife or the bag” and “do you want to feel the blade?”.

The victim told Chatten to keep the bag and the victim’s partner informed the pub landlady who told him to leave as he was barred from the premises. The 20-year-old, of Coronation Avenue, Warboys, near Huntingdon, left the pub and drove off in a Ford Fiesta before he was arrested by armed officers in Coldhams North.

Upon arrest, Chatten became abusive and made threats towards officers, including that he would “throw acid in their faces and shoot them with a shotgun”, Cambridgeshire Police confirmed.

On Friday, August 7, Chatten, was sentenced to 20 months in a young offenders institution, having pleaded guilty to robbery and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place at Peterborough Crown Court.

DC Neil Patrick, who investigated, said: “This was a totally unprovoked robbery by Chatten which was terrifying for the victim, having a knife held against his face.”

A university student was on the phone to his girlfriend when he was stabbed in the heart after falling out with a friend over a fake Rolex, a court heard.

Khaleed Oladipo, 20, was walking home when he was knifed five times in the chest by fellow student Harper Dennis, 18, after they argued about a ‘perceived debt’, jurors were told.

The attack was caught on a passing motorist’s dashcam who told how she saw ‘a snowstorm of feathers’ from one of their puffer jackets, Leicester Crown Court heard on Monday. 

Dennis, a first year student at Leicester University, denies murder, claiming self defence. 

On the first day of his trial, jurors were told Dennis and Mr Oladipo, who was in his third year studying cyber security at Leicester’s De Montfort University, were friends through online gaming and were both part of a group chat, Clownshow, a court heard.

But they had fallen out over money – with Dennis claiming to be owed £3,000. He had allegedly threatened Mr Oladipo’s girlfriend if he did not pay up.

Jurors were told Dennis had also been left ’embarrassed’ when a Rolex watch Mr Oladipo had given him to sell turned out to be fake and he was ‘laughed at’ by jewellers.

Mr Oladipo was attacked shortly before 5pm on February 3 as he made his way home from his girlfriend’s flat to watch an Arsenal football match. 

He was on the phone to her as he walked and she heard him say ‘why did you come up and stab me?’ before asking for her to call an ambulance.

Mr Oladipo collapsed in the street shortly afterwards. Passers-by performed CPR and he was taken to hospital but could not be saved.

A post-mortem examination showed he had suffered six wounds, five to the chest including one which penetrated his heart, and a defensive injury to his thumb.

Dennis is now on trial accused of murder, having an article with a blade or point and failing to provide the PIN for his phone.

Opening the case at Leicester Crown Court, prosecutor Jane Osborne KC said: ‘Khaleed Oladipo was killed not by a stranger, but by somebody who knew him.

‘Khaleed Oladipo and Harper Dennis, this defendant, knew each other from online gaming.

‘They had previously been friends. They were part of a Snapchat group together, but there had been a falling out seemingly over money that, at the very least, Harper Dennis perceived was owed to him by Khaleed Oladipo.

‘It would seem the perceived debt was the reason that Harper Dennis attacked Khaleed Oladipo in the street on the 3rd of February.’

Jurors were told the two men engaged in a ‘short struggle’ before they both went to the floor.

The prosecutor told the court footage shows Dennis’s arm moving in a ‘backwards and forwards’ motion, ‘consistent with the stab wounds inflicted to the left hand side of Mr Oladipo’s chest’.

She added: ‘Having been stabbed, Khaleed Oladipo rises to his knees and the defendant runs off.

‘He isn’t pursued. It’s clear Khaleed Oladipo is not capable of pursuing Harper Dennis.’

Ms Osborne added: ‘It was an incident that lasted, in reality, seconds.’

The court heard a witness who had been driving in traffic recalled seeing a ‘snowstorm of feathers from one of their coats’ during the altercation, Ms Osborne said.

The woman got out of her car to help Mr Oladipo and saw a knife ‘parallel’ to where he lay on the ground.

Ms Osborne told the jury two calls were made by Dennis to Mr Oladipo’s girlfriend Shekeizah Fowler-Palmer on Christmas Day last year.

The barrister said: ‘The caller said to her Khaleed was a bad guy and that Khaleed owed him £3,000. 

‘That caller intimated if Khaleed did not give the money, he, the caller, would come to her.’

Ms Osborne said there was also an occasion when Mr Oladipo gave Dennis a watch to sell and advised him not to go to certain jewellers because it was a fake Rolex.

When Dennis went to sell the watch at a jewellers in Hatton Garden in London, he was ‘laughed at’ because it was fake and was ’embarrassed and angry’ with Mr Oladipo, jurors were told.

The prosecutor said messages between the two confirmed they had fallen out, including one from Dennis which said he ‘won’t ever forget’ what Mr Oladipo did.

In a Snapchat message from Dennis to Mr Oladipo on Boxing Day last year, he said he would ‘dedicate his life to making sure you suffer for what you did’, the court heard.

Financial records showed a number of transfers between the two starting in December 2024, with the final one on Christmas Day, 2025 from Mr Oladipo to Dennis.

It was for 60p, sent with the reference ‘5999 to go’.

Dennis, who had allegedly fled the scene with his face covered, was arrested at his university accommodation later that night. 

His phone was seized but he refused to hand over the PIN code for it.

A search of his flat found four knives – two standard kitchen knives, a 25cm knife with a double-bladed tip in a sheath and a Kombat Tactical knife with serration.

The court heard he had given a flatmate a black bin bag to put out with her rubbish, which officers later found had contained the clothing he had been wearing at the time of the attack. 

He initially answered no comment before providing a statement admitting he had been present but had been acting in self-defence.

Dennis, of North Road in West Drayton, London, denies the charges against him.

The trial, which is expected to last three weeks, continues.
