Maya Jama has revealed what she is really looking for in a gentleman as she said they ‘must know how to treat a woman’. 

The Love Island presenter, 32, made her acting debut as Aisha in The Gentlemen season two which was released on Thursday. 

And during promo for the Netflix series the star was asked what the word gentleman means to her. 

Maya, who split from her boyfriend Ruben in May after 18 months of dating, mused: ‘What is a gentleman nowadays? 

‘I don’t know because I suppose the first thing that comes into your mind is like someone that opens the door and is polite and says pleases and thank yous.’

She continued: ‘But now, I suppose it’s just a decent, well-mannered man that has their stuff under control, but knows how to treat a woman and their family and everybody in their life. 

‘And wears a nice suit most of the time,’ she added. 

‘I suppose it’s just a decent, well-mannered man that has their stuff under control, but knows how to treat a woman and their family and everybody in their life’ said Maya (pictured with her The Gentleman co-star Kaya Scodelario L)

Maya and Manchester City star Ruben split in May after 18 months of dating, just four months after they moved in together in their Cheshire home.

When Maya and Ruben split, they wiped all traces of each other on social media. 

Sources have also shared that the pair decided to end the relationship after realising it had ‘run its course’, with both focusing on busy times in their careers.

And Maya has been busy soaking up the release of her new series after she looked criminally stylish for the premiere of Guy Ritchie‘s crime drama on Wednesday night.

The star injected a sprinkle of gangster glamour in a daringly cut leather gown, custom made by R&M leathers and styled by Rhea Francois, as she arrived on the red carpet for her first ever premiere as an actress.

Aisha appears early on in episode one walking up the driveway of Halstead Manor, the ancestral home inherited by Eddie Horniman (played by Theo James).

Before Aisha speaks for the first time, Susie gives Eddie a bit of background on her old pal, describing her as a ‘clever girl who looks after herself and others’.  

Aisha moved to the Middle East for work and has subsequently gained access to the royal circle. She arrives at the shooting weekend with Prince Amir.

Aisha introduces Eddie and Susie to Prince Amir as a valuable connection, suggesting the wealthy royal could be a potential business contact.

Leaning into countryside chic, Maya appears in a tweed jacket and flat cap, keeping the look glamorous with a silk pussybow tied around her neck.

Maya’s co-star Kaya recently revealed she messaged her to tell her to ‘be on her toes’ ahead of her acting debut in The Gentlemen 

In the south London accent fans will recognise from her hosting jobs, she says: ‘Hello honey, how are you doing?’

Susie introduces the Duke, and he says: ‘How do you do?’

Aisha replies: ‘I do very well. Thank you for hosting us. So this is His Excellency, Prince Amir bin Abdullah al-Hadidi.’

Maya’s co-star Kaya recently revealed she messaged her to tell her to ‘be on her toes’ ahead of her acting debut in The Gentlemen.

To ease Maya’s nerves ahead of her first acting stint, Kaya, 34, slid into her DMs to share some words of wisdom.

‘I just said, “Hey, babe, heads up! This is going to not be what you expect. Be ready to be on your toes and trust the process,” she told Grazia.

‘I knew how intimidating it is stepping into a new part of your career and coming from a working class background. I just wanted her to know that I’m a girls’ girl.’

Kaya, who was raised by her Brazilian mother immersed in the culture, wanted to look out for her fellow working-class co-star because she feels they are both minorities.

Maya also prides herself on growing up with very little money or no industry connections having moved to London from Bristol at age 16. 

‘I absolutely still feel like I am a minority as a working-class actor,’ Kaya added. ‘I’ll be at a work dinner party and maybe one or two people will sound like me, but certainly not everyone else.’ 

Kaya pursued acting full-time just two years after getting cast in Skins at the age of 14, leaving her home at 16 with just ‘£36.50 in her bank account’.

Maya said The Gentlemen felt like a ‘safe entrance point’ into acting.

Having harboured a dream to act, she auditioned for the series last year – and got the part less than two weeks later.

The TV star then worked with a drama coach to be ready for the role, telling Variety magazine: ‘I never want to do something and be s*** at it.’

Charles Leclerc was left sitting in pain on the grass after suffering a dramatic 160mph crash at the start of the Italian Grand Prix.

The Ferrari favourite lost control of his car at the final bend, the Parabolica, on the second lap as he duelled with Oscar Piastri for fourth place.

Leclerc’s impact with the wall was severe with only a short portion of gravel to slow his trajectory into the hoardings, which he thudded side-on.

The Monegasque soon jumped out of the car but then sat disconsolately on the grass as he was comforted by a marshal before being taken away in the medical car. He was feeling his neck as he went for treatment. Ferrari said he had been released from the medical centre without injury.

The race was red-flagged and some fans in the grandstands cried at the huge blow for their team.

By this point, Leclerc had already squeezed his Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton on the second part of the opening Del Refillo chicane and was driving somewhat erratically. Hamilton was furious, saying: ‘Charles pushed me off.’ 

The seven-time world champion, who started fourth, fell down to tenth place.

George Russell was leading the race for Mercedes when the race was suspended after passing pole man Pierre Gasly on the main straight at the end of the first lap.

Leclerc’s stricken car was taken away by crane.

Organisers announced the race would resume at 2.39pm, UK time. 

Iliman Ndiaye has explained why he turned down Tottenham to join Manchester City by saying his determination to play Champions League football counted against Spurs.

The Senegalese winger completed a £60m move from Everton to City on deadline day but only after Tottenham were the first to bid for him.

Spurs were discussing a £60m move for Ndiaye – with Richarlison returning to Everton for £35m in a separate deal – but as soon as City showed an interest, the former Sheffield United player decided not to join a club that finished 17th in each of the last two seasons.

“For me it was always going to be City,” he said. “I wanted Champions League and playing at one of the best teams in the world. I’m not saying Tottenham is not, but when Manchester City comes through, you don’t say no.

“This is where I think I belong. I’ve worked hard to get to this point. When I was speaking with my wife, I was telling her if I had to leave Everton it would be somewhere where I know I would be playing Champions League.”

Ndiaye spoke to City manager Enzo Maresca before making the move, adding: “He’s someone that admired me and as soon as they came through I had only one direction where I wanted to go.”

Ndiaye made his City debut in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Coventry, and while he came off in the closing stages, he allayed fears he was injured by saying it was cramp.

Jamie Vardy will be playing his football in England again after signing a contract at Burnley until the end of the season.

The 39-year-old has been a free agent since leaving Italian side Cremonese in the summer following their relegation to Serie B.

Vardy, who moved to Italy with his wife Rebekah and their family, scored seven goals and provided three assists in 29 appearances in Serie A last season. 

Burnley will be hoping Vardy’s experience can help them improve after a poor start to the season – with the Clarets bottom of the Championship after five matches.

They want him to be their No1 striker and his deal has an option for a further year if Burnley are promoted. It is understood he turned down offers from MLS, Serie A and the Premier League. 

The scale of his task is clear with the club yet to win a game in the English second tier so far this season – drawing two and losing three of their matches, scoring six and conceding 12 across those matches.

Upon signing for the club, Vardy – who had a Netflix documentary about his career in May – expressed his desire to propel them back up the table.

He scored seven goals and provided three assists in 29 Serie A games for Cremonese

He told the club’s website: ‘I’m really happy to now be here at Burnley.

‘This club has a proper footballing history and passionate fans who deserve a team that represents them and their town.

‘I can’t wait to get going on the pitch and help the team move in the right direction.’

Burnley head coach Nicky Hayen is excited about what his new striker will add to his struggling squad. 

He said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Jamie to Burnley.

‘His experience and leadership will be invaluable to our squad, and we believe he can make a significant impact on our campaign. Jamie has a proven track record, and we are looking forward to seeing him in a Claret shirt.’

Vardy scored 200 goals in 500 matches for Leicester and won both the Premier League and FA Cup with the club. He is regarded as one of the club’s greatest players of all time.

The striker also scored seven goals in 26 appearances for England and was part of the Three Lions squad for Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup.

President Donald Trump jumped on social media with another swipe at changing the names of major geographical locations – this time, taking aim at New Mexico. 

On Sunday, Trump posted a map of the Southwest state to Truth Social, but ‘Mexico’ within the state’s name had been crossed out in red and replaced with ‘America.’

The post came with no remarks attached but followed a tense back-and-forth with Canada that saw the renaming of Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ last month.

Just before he shared his latest name change, he posted a photo depicting himself crossing out ‘Ontario’ in Lake Ontario on a map and replacing it with ‘America.’

It’s unclear if the President was joking. The Daily Mail reached out to the White House for comment. 

While only around 14 percent of US citizens were in favor of the name change, according to a poll by Reuters/Ipsos, the President’s official Trump Store launched ‘Lake America’ hats for $55. 

The move was accompanied by other posts on social media from Trump, including a video of geese with machine guns patrolling the lake as well as an AI clip of himself kicking over a ‘Lake Ontario’ sign and replacing it with a ‘Lake America’ sign. 

On August 30, the President declared that he wanted the US to keep out all Canadian products unless the companies wanted to relocate to America.

The tension was prompted by failed negotiations between the US and Canada over tariffs on products traveling back and forth between the two countries.

Trump’s post on Sunday marked the latest in the President’s campaign to rename major landmarks and locations, the first being his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the ‘Gulf of America’ – a move that sparked a wave of criticism. 

Following the post, he shared another photo that said: ‘If you have a problem with Lake Ontario being renamed Lake America, just remember, the Left renamed the following…’

Underneath, the photo had two lists; the left side featured titles and on the right, the titles were changed to reflect alleged ‘Left’ views. 

The photo included examples such as Columbus Day, changed to Indigenous Peoples’ Day; Land O Lakes ‘Removed the Indian. Kept the Land’; Washington Redskins ‘Washington Commanders’; Felon ‘Justice Involved Person’; and Illegal Alien ‘Undocumented Noncitizen.’

Luke Littler marked his return to the European Tour with a title after winning the Czech Darts Open, beating his great rival Luke Humphries in the final.

Littler has been managing his schedule this year and has not played a Euro event since the Belgian Darts Open in March.

But winning trophies is an insatiable habit for the 19-year-old and he ended Humphries’ reign in Prague with a 8-6 victory in the final, having earlier beaten Michael van Gerwen in the semi-final.

Humphries had not lost in this tournament since 2023 but Littler is his nemesis and now has a strong grip on their enduring rivalry.

The world champion claimed a sixth European Tour title, in just his 16th event, and he takes home a £35,000 prize.

“It’s what the fans deserved, obviously the two best going at it in a final once again. I’m glad I’ve won,” Littler said.

“I’m glad I can put my name over there (on the honours board). It’s good to be back.

“The rust has definitely gone, I am just happy to be back on stage, back in front of fans, back playing.”

With his place in October’s European Championship finals guaranteed – the final major title Littler has yet to win – he is not expecting to play in any of the three remaining regular Euro tour events.

“Not sure now I’ve won this one. I think I think I’ve secured my place in Dortmund,” he said. “Dortmund’s obviously the one I’m chasing.

“And then in two weeks’ time, it’s the World Series in Amsterdam. Yeah, we’ll have to see what happens, see what the plan is, see how busy I am.”

Despite sweltering temperatures inside the arena in Prague, Littler kept his cool throughout, starting off his day with a last-16 win over Krzysztof Ratajski.

He then whitewashed Danny Noppert 6-0 in the quarter-final before ousting Van Gerwen 7-3 in the last four.

Humphries is always a tough task, though, and, chasing a third successive title in Prague, the world number two led 4-3.

But Littler rattled off four successive legs to take control and then got the job done.

Tributes have since poured in for little Peter. One said: “This world can be so cruel at times.”

A two-year-old boy killed in a horror hit-and-run had just started pre-school, it has emerged.

Tragic tot Peter Mulcaire, who is understood to be from Rathkeale in Limerick, was initially rushed to University Hospital Limerick by a family member but was pronounced dead a short time later.

He was struck by a Jeep on Abbey Court in Rathkeale in Limerick, shortly after 3:50 pm.

The Jeep fled the area. Gardai later arrested a man, who is in his 30s, at another location on suspicion of driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

He was taken to a Garda Station in Limerick and provided an evidential sample. He has since been released pending an analysis.

Last week, the tragic tot’s mum, Kerrie, took to social media and shared several snaps of Peter ahead of his first day of pre-school. He is pictured smiling in front of a balloon which says “Peter’s first day of pre-school”.

Tributes have since poured in for little Peter. One said: “This world can be so cruel at times.”

While another said: “Rest in perfect peace to this beautiful boy”.

In a statement, Gardai said: “A Family Liaison Officer (FLO) was been appointed to support the family of the deceased.

“The vehicle involved in the collision did not remain at the scene. A male driver of the vehicle (aged in his 30s) was subsequently arrested at a different location by Gardaí on suspicion of driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

“The male was conveyed to a Garda Station in Co. Limerick for the purposes of providing a blood/urine evidential sample. He has since been released pending analysis of the evidential sample. The investigation is ongoing.

“The road was closed for a technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators.

“Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this collision to come forward.

“Road users who were travelling in the vicinity of Abbey Court, Rathkeale, Co. Limerick between 3:20pm and 4:00pm on Saturday 5th September 2026 and who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) are asked to make it available to investigating Gardaí.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Newcastle West Garda Station on (069) 20650, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.”

BBC news presenter Maryam Moshiri has revealed that she has incurable blood cancer.

The 49-year-old was diagnosed nearly two years ago with Polycythaemia vera (PV), a rare condition that causes bone marrow to continuously create red blood cells which makes the blood become thick like honey.

The cancer cannot be cured, and can cause blood clots, heart attacks and strokes if untreated, but is typically managed like a chronic condition.

Ms Moshiri told The Times the gruelling treatment ‘is better than dying, obviously, of a horrible cancer. But it’s something that you have to get your head around,’ adding that it takes its toll after many years.

The presenter, who has become infamous for various on-air antics including accidentally showing the middle finger while broadcasting, initially learned of her condition from a menopause-related blood test.

Following the discovery of the cancer, she would have more than a pint of blood drawn from her body every month to dilute the red blood cell concentration, which left her feeling sick and exhausted.

Not long after, she was flown to Rome to cover the Pope’s death and ensuing conclave.

‘I was working 14-hour days, constantly on air, constantly having to think on my feet, and holding it together, despite the fact that I had this chronic tiredness and fatigue,’ she said.

Ms Moshiri said the gruelling treatment ‘is better than dying, obviously, of a horrible cancer. But it’s something that you have to get your head around’

But she clarified she does not want her diagnosis to get in the way of her work, adding that ‘a big part of this disease is having to get on with life’.

On her return, she began an immunotherapy treatment at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS trust in London called interferon, which reduced the amount of blood that needed to be drawn.

However, she said she suffered debilitating side effects, like insomnia, headaches and such intense itching she would draw blood from her scratching.

‘During my worst times when I was going through really quite gruelling treatment, I wasn’t there for my kids. I’d be lying on the sofa, and my son would say, “mummy, can you come play football with me in the garden?” And you just can’t. You’re too tired,’ she said.

She added that the first question her children, Iris, 13, Vivienne, 11, and Caspian, 9, that she shares with LatinNews editor-in-chief Jonathan Farmer, asked when she told them of her condition was whether she was going to die. 

Some months later, she switched to a different drug which had more manageable side effects but admitted to having to adjust to a different lifestyle that will be occupied by hospital appointments and medication.

Ms Moshiri is now supporting a new campaign Here for This, by Blood Cancer UK, which highlights the moments sufferers can miss due to the condition.

Helen Rowntree, chief executive of the charity, told The Times: ‘We’re so grateful to Maryam for bravely sharing her story. When public figures speak openly about their diagnosis, it cuts through the silence that so often surrounds blood cancer – the UK’s fifth most common cancer and third biggest cancer killer.

‘We urgently need continued public and government support to fund the next generation of kinder, more effective treatments with fewer side effects so that more people with blood cancer can live well, spend less time dealing with the impact of treatment and be there for the moments that matter.’

Ms Moshiri first caused shock waves in December 2023 when she gestured her middle finger at the camera before reading out the top of the hour headlines.

In an extended video released after the slip up, Ms Moshiri was seen making a series of exaggerated gestures with her hands before reaching ‘one’ and appearing to ‘flip off’ the camera.

The veteran presenter said the gaffe was a ‘private joke’ with crew and issued an apology after the end of the clip was broadcast live.

Since then, she has suffered several other on-air gaffes, like imitating a seagull against her producer’s advice, bending a spoon in relation to a man crushing a frying pan, and jogging on the spot while presenting a segment on daily step-count.

Tyson Fury is set to finally settle a career-long grudge with Anthony Joshua in the squared-circle later this year, but the Gypsy King has now claimed that their boxing bout is off

Tyson Fury has claimed that his proposed boxing match with Anthony Joshua is off, as he eyes a THIRD bout with Oleksandr Usyk. AJ and the Gypsy King have been on a collision course for the entirety of their respective careers, with a long-awaited fight between the pair of English heavyweights eyeing a dance under the bright lights for November, according to reports.

However, that clash has now had water poured all over it, with Fury claiming that Joshua has bottled the bout. Taking to social media on Sunday, the 38-year-old said: “So, it looks like AJ has s*** his pants yet again. After 11 years, he’s finally s*** his pants yet again.”

In the very next breath, Fury then called out long-time rival, Usyk – despite going 0-2 against the undefeated Ukrainian in back-to-back fights in 2024. He added: “So this would only lead me to a fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

“Oleksandr, you’re his trainer, and his sensei, and you know he’s a weak-minded piece of s***, and that he’d never fight the Gypsy King – which you’ve had the guts to do twice…twice. And you know how difficult it is in there.

“Listen, you got the decisions last time, fair play to you, good luck to you. But let’s do it again.

“Let’s run it back in November. The ball is now in your court, Oleksandr. Do you want to fight me this year, in 2026? Or are you calling it quits? Let me know, because I’m now looking for a new opponent.”

Joshua is yet to respond to Fury’s claims. It comes as boxing fans may not want to see a trilogy bout between Fury and Usyk, given the dominant fashion in which the Cat defeated Fury just two years ago.
