Decades of Dolly, an acclaimed Dolly Parton tribute show, will be performed at The Forum in Northallerton on July 3, to mark the country music legend’s 80th birthday.

The theatrical production celebrates seven decades of Dolly Parton’s life and career, featuring signature hits such as Jolene, 9 to 5, I Will Always Love You, and Islands in the Stream.

Kelly O’Brien, who stars as Dolly, said: “The Forum is the beating heart of Northallerton’s arts scene, and a venue that exists purely out of love for its community is somewhere Dolly would absolutely recognise, so I’m thrilled to be bringing her story here.”

The show features multiple costume changes, live music, and film projections that trace Parton’s journey from her early days in the Smoky Mountains to international superstardom.

Ms O’Brien, originally from South Australia and now based in Hertfordshire, has spent nearly 20 years touring the world as Dolly.

Her performances have taken her from the Singapore Grand Prix to Nashville, where members of Dolly Parton’s own family were reportedly “blown away” by her rendition.

A 51-year-old mother-of-two, Ms O’Brien taught herself to play guitar, harmonica, dulcimer, and banjo for the role.

Decades of Dolly will tour the UK throughout 2026, with additional dates confirmed in the US and Australia.

Tickets are available via The Forum’s website.

Their Spanish coach is the mastermind of this new PSG, built from the ashes of the superstar era which saw Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar the centrepieces of a dysfunctional, ego-ridden outfit who never resembled a team.

Luis Enrique, who also won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015, ordered his players to park egos at the door – or jettisoned those who would not.

In their place is the perfect combination of brilliant individual skill bolted on to a savage work ethic and defensive solidity that will make them a formidable hurdle for Arsenal to overcome.

And the leader is Marquinhos.

The Brazil centre-half arrived at PSG from Roma in 2013, surviving Luis Enrique’s cull of big names because the coach is wise enough to see a consummate professional and world-class defender when he sees one.

He has formed a superb partnership with the formidable Willian Pacho, who played a key role in keeping Kane under wraps until the England captain’s strike in the dying seconds.

Kvaratskhelia and Dembele combined for the game’s defining moment, while 20-year-old Desire Doue – the young face of the new PSG – tormented Vincent Kompany’s side, coming close on several occasions in the second half.

And yet the glue that held it all together was Marquinhos, still peerless at 31, and with the uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time while exuding calm authority.

To complete the picture, PSG’s midfield of Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves is the well-oiled engine room linking it all together.

Ruiz’s pass in the build-up to Dembele’s goal was a thing of beauty – but he then reverted to doing the defensive dirty work Luis Enrique demands and which his team seems only too happy to deliver.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is leaving Old Trafford this summer and has responded to Jamie Carragher, who famously told him to ‘leave the football before the football leaves you’

Casemiro has suggested that Jamie Carragher’s “leave the football” remark from two years ago was probably fuelled by “bitterness” following his beloved Liverpool’s defeats to the Brazilian’s Real Madrid in two Champions League finals.

The Manchester United midfielder will depart Old Trafford this summer when his contract runs out, despite rediscovering his best form under Michael Carrick. He has been instrumental in their resurgence, which will see them qualify for the Champions League following a disappointing few months.

Casemiro has turned back the clock and resembles the player who was so influential in Spain. During his spell at the Bernabeu, he secured the Champions League on five occasions, beating Liverpool in finals in 2018 and 2022, and suspects Carragher may have been irked by those defeats when he delivered his infamous criticism.

Back in 2024, when United were enduring a dismal run of results, Casemiro was targeted by Carragher, who insisted he needed to leave the Premier League.

He said: “This has to stop because we are watching one of the greats of the modern time. I always remember the saying ‘leave the football before the football leaves you’. The football has left him. At this top level, he needs to call it a day at this level and move.

“The level of that player, he should not be putting himself through this. He is too good of a player to be putting in a performance like that being laughed at by Crystal Palace. He needs to call it a day.”

Casemiro was pressed on those remarks and told TNT Sports Brazil: “Everyone says whatever they want on television. I’m not someone who gets involved in that.

“But it’s a bit normal, because I won two Champions League titles over his team. Maybe after you win two titles against his club, there’s still some bitterness there.”

Carragher has since performed a U-turn on those remarks, prompting the United midfielder to extend an olive branch. He said: “I respect his opinion. I don’t hold any resentment. The important thing is that he recognised he was wrong and changed his opinion. That’s what matters most.”

Casemiro has delivered a string of crucial goals, enjoying his most prolific season in front of goal, with Carragher acknowledging he would have to accept any comeback from the Brazilian.

He said: “Considering what he’s producing this season in the Premier League, and not just Fulham at home, you think what he did last week against Arsenal away and Manchester City at home.

“Casemiro is well within his rights to, if he wants to come back at me and say, ‘leave the punditry before the punditry’s left you!’ He could definitely get one of those back in. Credit to him, he looks a completely different player.”

Luis Enrique believes Mikel Arteta has done a ‘great job’ at Arsenal and says his PSG team will face a ‘difficult game’ in the Champions League final.

The French champions joined Premier League leaders Arsenal in the final after overcoming Bayern Munich in the semis.

PSG beat Bayern 5-4 in a thrilling first leg before holding Vincent Kompany’s side to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena.

Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele broke the deadlock inside five minutes to put PSG two goals ahead in the tie and as a result Harry Kane’s late strike was merely a consolation goal.

PSG beat Arsenal on route to winning the Champions League last season and Enrique expects another ‘hard game’ against the likely Premier League winners.

While PSG prevented Bayern from reaching the Champions League final, Arsenal eliminated La Liga side Atletico Madrid in a hard-fought semi-final tie.

‘I appreciate Mikelito Arteta! We used to be teammates when we were kids, he did a great job at Arsenal,’ Enrique said after leading PSG to another final

‘It will be difficult, hard game but we believe in our football style.’

Discussing his team’s spirited performance in Munich, Enrique added: ‘Good memories. We could leave the match with a lot of intensity.

‘The defence were better than the attack. The character we showed against a team like Bayern is so positive. We’re so happy to reach a second Champions League final in a row.

‘It was very intense. Very difficult. They play football at the highest level. Both teams are similar, we love to press higher. We are very happy.

‘In two days I’m going to celebrate my birthday. I’m very happy. We’re in the next phase of the competition, the final of the Champions League. We want to give our supporters that kind of gift.’

PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also discussed Champions League final opponents Arsenal, who will be the fifth Premier League team the French giants have faced this season.

‘We respect all of the teams,’ he said. ‘For us, it’s important to play our game.

‘We don’t really think about who is going to be our opponent, we just prepare our game and give everything on the pitch.

‘It will be difficult – it’s the Champions League final – and we just have to go and enjoy it.’

While PSG are bidding to retain their Champions League crown, the May 30 final in Budapest will be Arsenal’s first in 20 years.

A British man evacuated from the Norwegian Viva cruise ship has broken his silence, sharing an update on his health after being exposed to hantavirus — the rat virus that has gripped the vessel

A British man who was evacuated from the hantavirus-stricken cruise broke his silence on Wednesday.

Martin Anstee, who was evacuated from the MV Hondius, has told Sky News he was “doing okay” but doesn’t know how long he’ll be in hospital.

The 56-year-old told Sky News: “I’m doing okay. I’m not feeling too bad. There are still lots of tests to be done.

“I have no idea how long I’ll be in the hospital for. I’m in isolation at the moment.”

Mr Anstee worked as an expedition guide on board the Dutch-flagged ship. He was evacuated by medical flight this morning, along with two others.

Two other people who returned independently to the UK from the cruise ship have also been told to self-isolate, the UK Health Security Agency said, adding that “the risk to general public remains very low”.

The World Health Organisation has said the number of confirmed hantavirus cases has now risen to five.

The results, which have been confirmed by lab tests, include two passengers who were evacuated today.

There were previously three confirmed cases and five more suspected, with three people having died.

The overall number of cases, eight, is not thought to have changed, with lab tests confirming the presence of the hantavirus in previously suspected cases.

However, Spanish health minister Monica Garcia has confirmed that all the passengers currently on the MV Hondius are asymptomatic.

The ship will now continue to the Canary Islands where passengers will be checked for signs of infection before being repatriated if they are deemed healthy.

In an update posted online, Spanish health authorities said that the ship is expected to arrive within 72 to 96 hours.

Officials said that passengers will be disembarked in a “controlled” way with “direct transfer from the port to the airport and subsequent return to their countries of origin, avoiding at all times transit through spaces open to the general population”.
