There is enormous pride that comes with being a Lionesses player. And pressure, too.

Under Sarina Wiegman, our team went up a level and in 2022 we won the European Championship on home soil, a wonderful achievement but one which means we have had to live up to that since.

It’s been quite difficult for a few years but we feel we have now drawn a line under that.

Last time out we beat world champions Spain 1-0 at Wembley in the Nations League. The performance was a reset, with so many players going back to basics. The outside world might sometimes see us as good individuals but that night in February we played together as a team.

It was a big victory and one which we believe puts us on a good path to the defence of our European Championship title in Switzerland this summer. But we cannot just expect it to happen because we’re England and we won the trophy last time.

The same thing that happened to us after winning the Euros also happened to Spain – albeit it may not have been as well-publicised in this country as it was over there.

Spain really struggled for results for a while in the aftermath of beating us in the 2023 World Cup final. Of course, it can happen and you have a target on your backs as the winners. Opponents will up their game against you which, to be fair, has always happened when you play for England.

You find your level eventually and we’re a new England team now, in terms of personnel too.

You don’t need to shout about being the reigning champions. You don’t get given anything when you start playing again after winning silverware, whether you’re England, Spain or anybody else. That comes with the territory.

There’s that perception something changes when you’re the holders but look at the team we have now – there’s no Ellen White, for example, who started every match for us at the Euros. Others have moved on too. This is a different side.

Spain didn’t have one of their World Cup star players, Alexia Putellas, against us in that recent meeting but they did have players like Laia Aleixandri, who did not feature in their World Cup success. There are always good players in top sides who you have to look out for. It’s just that you can’t win every time, even if you’re world champions like Spain.

For us, I’m very proud of what we achieved three years ago but, as I have said previously, the England shirt can weigh heavily at times.

I think it can be especially hard if you are a young player coming into a team with that ‘reigning champions’ tag. The pressure is a lot.

You win a trophy, there’s that excitement and then the pressure grows to beat everybody. You look at younger players who have subsequently come into our team and made their debuts in front of huge crowds at Wembley Stadium. I try, as one of the senior players, to help 
them acclimatise to what our world is like now.

Through this, I’ve developed great relationships with midfielders Grace Clinton and Jess Park – who scored the winner against Spain – two young players I hadn’t really played with before. They ask me a lot of questions in training and I try to offer advice where I can.

With Jess, I’ve simply told her she is a very good player who is in the squad on merit and that she doesn’t need me to tell her how to play football. It’s true, these young players are good enough in their own right already.

All I can hope is that the youngsters learn to handle the expectation that comes with being an England player now. I’m sure they can but I am also sure it isn’t easy.

Things have changed for us and we have to allow this group of players to find their own way as we return to action this week with a Nations League double-header against Belgium – in Bristol on Friday, and in Leuven next Tuesday.

We might be the reigning European champions but this team is better off without the added pressure that label can bring. From now on, we just need to focus on what’s ahead.

Ian Wright admits he is concerned that Real Madrid will ‘exploit’ Jakub Kiwior during Arsenal’s Champions League quarter-final next week.

Arsenal were dealt a huge setback in their 2-1 win over Fulham on Tuesday night as Gabriel Magalhaes was forced off in the first half with a hamstring injury.

Mikel Arteta admitted after the game that he is ‘worried’ over the extent of Gabriel’s injury, while Arsenal could also be without Ben White, who failed to make the matchday squad against Fulham, and Jurrien Timber, who was replaced in the second half at the Emirates Stadium.

Kiwior, meanwhile, covered in central defence alongside William Saliba in Gabriel’s absence in the win over Fulham and is likely to start against Everton on Saturday with Riccardo Calafiori still sidelined with a knee injury he suffered during the international break

Arsenal are then due to host Madrid at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie next Tuesday.

And Wright admits he is worried about Arsenal’s defensive solidity without Gabriel.

‘It’s a massive miss,’ Wright told Premier League Productions.

‘It’s just as big in respects of what Saka does for us going forward, then Gabriel going the other way, set-pieces, leadership, warrior that we need.

‘I think whatever you say, the drop-off from Gabriel, I don’t know how fit Calafiori is at the moment, but when you’re looking at someone going that quick and pulling up like that, that’s not two weeks, that a month, that’s six weeks, you can see it there, he knows himself.

‘The thing is, I know we’re jumping ahead and speaking about Real Madrid because it is a massive game, it is the big game of the season for us.

‘Without Gabi Magalhaes in that game you’re looking at Kiwior even today [against Fulham], there’s a couple of positional moves that you just cannot afford to do when you play against Real Madrid.

‘They are looking for any chink in the armour to exploit, so you need people who are absolutely bang on it, to be able to keep Real Madrid to no goals at home. If Gabi Magalhaes was there I would feel more confident about that.’

Wright also believes Arsenal need a positive result from the first leg next week to stand any chance of progressing past Madrid to reach the Champions League semi final, where they would play either Aston Villa or Paris Saint-Germain.

‘Missing Gabriel now, we need all the best players we can get out there for that particular game because we know what the Champions League means to Real Madrid and how much they want to win that, and how much good fortune they get in that tournament. We’re going to need everything we can get,’ Wright said.

‘We probably need to go to Real Madrid with something. You can’t look at a Real Madrid side with the players they’ve got and feel like they’re not going to at least get a goal here, so you have to go to the Bernabeu with something.’

If Wednesday’s Nintendo Switch 2 showcase isn’t enough for you, Nintendo will have even more reveals to share throughout the rest of the week.

You probably know by now that Nintendo will be holding a showcase tomorrow all about the Nintendo Switch 2. In fact, you probably already have the livestream open in another tab in preparation.

Its exact contents are a mystery, but it’s expected to share a lot of new info about the console and its games, considering it’s set to be the longest Nintendo Direct ever.

Turns out that’s not all Nintendo has planned for this week, as it will also be sharing deeper dives and hands-on gameplay for certain Switch 2 games for two days after the showcase.

As announced on its social media channels, Nintendo Treehouse will be holding livestreams on Thursday, April 3 and Friday, April 4. Exactly how long these livestreams will last hasn’t been specified but both will start at 7am PT, which is 3pm BST here in the UK.

For anyone unfamiliar with Nintendo Treehouse, it’s a division of Nintendo of America mostly responsible for localising the company’s games for the region. Since 2014, it’s occasionally held livestreams to show off upcoming games.

Nintendo hasn’t said which games will be shown, but that’s obviously because they haven’t been announced yet. One of them could very well be the new Mario Kart, which was teased in the initial Switch 2 reveal, but the rest are anyone’s guess.

Whatever will be shown is bound to be interesting though as a hands-on demo usually gives a better idea of how games work in action, when compared to curated trailers.

The livestreams may also serve as an indicator of what people can expect from the Switch 2 live events Nintendo is holding over the coming months. Anyone who managed to land a ticket will get to try out the Switch 2 early.

It seems fair to assume whatever games are shown in the Nintendo Treehouse streams have a good chance of being present at these events, although not necessarily all of them.

As a reminder, tickets were given out via a lottery system, so you can’t just waltz in. The London event is taking place next weekend on April 11 to April 13 – so you can expect attendees to share video footage and photos from that as well.

The Switch 2 isn’t expected to launch until June, although that is currently only a rumour. Ideally, Nintendo will reveal have a concrete release date during tomorrow’s showcase, as well as pre-order details and pricing.

PLEASE NOTE: We will have very limited time to put together the Games Inbox on Wednesday, so please get your emails in as quickly as possible, especially if you’re planning to comment on the Nintendo Direct. Otherwise the next Inbox will be on Friday.

The day today
So here we go, the biggest Nintendo moment in eight years: the full reveal of the Switch 2 and all (some? a couple?) of its games. I don’t know what’s going to be there anymore than anyone else does but I can tell you I feel that tingle of excitement in a way I haven’t in a long time.

We don’t need to go over what a disappointment this generation has been again, but this is the sort of thing it’s been missing: a big event, that probably isn’t going to disappoint, and will have tons of new things to talk about and look forward to.

When was the last time we had something like that? For me The Game Awards just don’t do it, they’re just paid ads and what is shown is almost always pre-rendered and very brief. I’d probably have to go back to the unveiling of Elden Ring for the last time I was anticipating things this much and that wasn’t hyped up like this.

Maybe that will hurt it in the end, if it means Nintendo can never do enough to please people, but I have a good feeling about it and I certainly plan to get no work done between 2pm and 3pm today.

One hour
60 minutes of Nintendo Direct? Now we know they’re serious. I’d worry that a lot of that is going to be waffle but Nintendo are the masters of the Direct format and a lot of that is due to fast pacing and being very lean, with no wasted time and never staying on anything for too long.

Maybe they’ll suddenly switch strategies, but I doubt it. This is their moment and I hope for their sake, my sake (as a fan), and the games industry’s sake they make a proper job of it. This has been such a rough generation, where the great games seem to almost be in spite of Microsoft and Sony, not because of them.

I want to see Nintendo reset the clock and show what video games are about: an affordable console that’s clearly different to the last one, unique and imaginative games that don’t cost the earth, and no live service trash – or at least a bare minimum, I know Nintendo has dabbled with it.
Lofty

Dream team
My wish list for today: Mario Kart (a given), 3D Mario, F-Zero, a new Zelda remake, and two new IP. Might seem a bit of a tall order to some but I think there’s a reasonable chance it might come true. The Mario games are obvious, but I think some kind of Zelda representation, even if it’s a cheap remaster of The Wind Waker, is very likely.

Nintendo must have some new IP, I think, and even if one is a smaller thing like 1-2-Switch hopefully we still get something. And then F-Zero… well, we’ve had some rumours about GameCube support recently so maybe it’ll be F-Zero GX on Nintendo Switch Online. If it’s a brand new game then I promise to pre-order a Switch 2 the second you can.

Cheap advice
This Xbox crossover with Asus seems so cheap. I know that’s a strange word to use for something that’s probably going to cost £600+ but the ROG Ally does look cheap and that whole teaser trailer thing looked like an ad for DLC, not a hyper expensive handheld console.

I can sort of see the idea that Microsoft wants to get their foot in the door with portable consoles, but most people aren’t even going to know this exists, let alone buy it. So what does Microsoft gain from that?

As usual they’re trying to take a shortcut, because they want a portable next gen console out now, but it’s not going to be ready, according to them, for a few years. You would’ve thought they’d learn by now, after so long making the same mistakes again and again, but no.

Just do the groundwork and success will come to you. There is no shortcut and if there was it certainly wouldn’t be slapping an Xbox logo on a weird portable console that only plays PC games.

Too obvious
Given Nintendo’s new obsession with the number to, that a reader pointed out a few weeks ago – releasing a 2:22 long video at 22:02, having 2 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days between announcements – I wonder if someone with a sense of humour at Nintendo UK has considered setting a trailer to this version of the appropriately timed Song 2, which I remember being mentioned in the Inbox years ago.

Though presumably it needs updating with Kevin Afghani’s vocals now.

GC: Perhaps we’ll find out at 2pm today.

Solid nine
I’m quite surprised by your comment on Final Fantasy 9 not being a popular game. I remember it getting rave reviews at the time of the release (in fact Metacritic still has a 94% rating on the game). I remember thoroughly enjoying the game at the time (even if the story got a little weird towards the end!). I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone disparage it (except in the general Japanese role-playing game way).

I’m very hopeful for a remaster, but not in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake style of super realistic graphics and a totally new battle system. Refine the existing game and improve the graphics, certainly, but don’t go so far as Remake did. Maybe add some new content or expand the story. Definitely give us an expanded Tetra Master! Loved that mini-game!

Anyway, I wrote in way back (January maybe?) saying the top port in the Switch 2 could be to enable dual screen with the old Switch. Glad the current rumours are agreeing this is what it’s for, but I wait with bated breath for the actual reveal!
Solabound

GC: We just meant it wasn’t necessarily a series favourite, but we have nothing against it.

Genie in a bottle
If some developers are crying because they haven’t been given devkits I think I’m prepared to believe that Nintendo is right to deny them. We haven’t had a single serious leak that didn’t come from the production line and I for one am glad of that.

I hate leaks and rumours, and it annoys me no end that they spoil everything before you get a proper reveal. I realise that once the information is out there it’s pointless to pretend it isn’t but if Nintendo is being extra suspicious with who they trust then good for them, it clearly worked.

Mappa mundi
I am currently playing the excellent Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown on Switch. Having a great time 15 hours in and so far would place it in the top tier of Metroidvanias, alongside Hollow Knight and Metroid Dread.

One minor issue I am having though is constantly pausing to look at the map. I have this compulsion with all similar games, to continually check I am in the right place or to look for clues in branching paths, etc.

The rumoured Wii U-esque feature for Switch 2 has really caught my eye for this reason. Back on the Wii U I played another brilliant Metriodvania in Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition. Here the map was on display on the GamePad, with touchscreen functionality. I loved this set-up at the time and was always disappointed when other Wii U games didn’t replicate it (Breath Of The Wild was a huge missed opportunity to display the map on the GamePad’s second screen)

It sounds minor but would be an excellent quality-of-life feature if developers were to take advantage.

GC: We suspect Nintendo downgraded the GamePad’s functionality in the Wii U version of Breath Of The Wild, so it didn’t seem better than the Switch.

Inbox also-rans
I could almost imagine Rockstar releasing the GTA 6 this week or next, except that I think that weirdly they have quite a good relationship with Nintendo. I’ll laugh if the Direct starts with Rockstar logo, that would certainly set the tone.

What if Metroid Prime 4 isn’t in the Nintendo Direct but a 2D sequel to Metroid Dread was? I would not be disappointed.

The Trump administration has admitted to mistakenly deporting a father to El Salvador’s infamous mega prison, and claims it is unable to bring him back into the US.

Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia was granted protected status by a US immigration judge in 2019 and was living in Maryland. On March 12, as he picked up his son after work, Abrego Garcia’s car was stopped by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who told him his protected status had changed.

Three days later, Abrego Garcia was one of more 200 alleged members of Salvadoran and Venezuelan gangs that the Trump administration deported by plane to El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).

ICE declared it removed Abrego Garcia ‘due to his prominent role in MS-13’. Meanwhile, his attorneys said he is not linked in any way to the gang, and that he originally fled his home country to escape gang violence.

But in a court filing on Monday, lawyers with the US government acknowledged that deporting Abrego Garcia had been a mistake.

‘Although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error,’ wrote the government in the filing obtained by The Atlantic.

Since the dad is in Salvadoran custody, Trump administration lawyers said they are not able to get him back.

‘Oopsie… Too late,’ wrote Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele on X (formerly Twitter) on the morning of March 16.

Asked about the court filing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday acknowledged the mistake, but claimed without evidence that Abrego Garcia has ties to MS-13.

‘The error that you are referring to was a clerical error. It was an administrative error,’ said Leavitt.

‘The administration maintains the position that this individual who was deported to El Salvador and will not be returning to our country was a member of the brutal and vicious MS-13 gang.’

Questioned about the evidence, Leavitt insisted: ‘There’s a lot of evidence, and the Department of Homeland Security and ICE have that evidence, and I saw it this morning.’

Abrego Garcia’s case appears to be the first time the administration has conceded to accidentally deporting someone with the right to stay in the US, after President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 allowing him to remove people from the country during war times.

Rio Ferdinand took aim at three Manchester United stars for their roles in Nottingham Forest’s winning goal on Tuesday night – blasting one of them for failing to ‘take out’ Anthony Elanga.

Despite signs of a return to form before the international break, United suffered their 13^th Premier League defeat of the season against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, falling to a 1-0 defeat.

The visitors were undone after just five minutes.

Former player Elanga came back to haunt his old side, sprinting 85 meters in nine seconds up the pitch from deep in his own half, keeping his composure to calmly slot past Andre Onana.

United players tried in vain to halt the Swede who was too quick and too powerful.

Patrick Dorgu was initially beaten for pace with Alejandro Garnacho left on his backside after being easily shrugged off by the Forest winger.

Noussair Mazraoui also tried in vain to prevent the goal.

United legend Ferdinand identified three moments where United could have stopped Elanga during his searing run, blasting Dorgu’s defensive position at the start of the attack.

The former England international also took aim at Mazraoui for reacting too slowly in his box, insisting Garnacho should have taken one for the team and brought down Elanga while he still could.

‘I think there’s three moments where they could have maybe stopped this goal, Ferdinand told TNT Sports.

‘First of all, it’s a wonderful goal from Elanga, and you can’t take anything away from him in that sense.

‘But when you’re looking for a defensive point of view, Elanga is on the edge of the box there.

‘Dorgu’s got to be goal-side. You’ve got to think defensively first. You know the threat is pace.

‘Be in a better position to stop that. Then he’s behind, he’s chasing, can’t get back.

‘And Garnacho has a role to play here. You should take him out, foul him there. You’ve got to foul him there. Take him out. You can see the pace, you can see the support he has.

‘And Mazraoui’s got to make a decision. Before he gets into that box, you’ve got to go and engage the attacking player there. Go into the box, get closer to goal.’

More than 20 women have come forward after police launched an international appeal for potential victims of one of the UK’s worst serial rapists.

Zhenhao Zou, 28, was found guilty last month of drugging, raping and filming 10 women – but detectives said he may have attacked up to 60 more.

Met Police commander Kevin Southworth said: ‘Given how prolific Zou seems to have been, there is every potential he could be one of the most prolific offenders that we’ve ever seen in this space.’

He added that 23 women have contacted them saying they may have been targeted, with work now underway to identify victims and ‘bring Zou to justice for the full extent of his crimes’.

Mr Southworth said: ‘We have victims reaching out to us from different parts of the globe.

‘At the moment, the primary places where we believe offending may have occurred at this time appears to be both in England, here in London, and over in China.

‘Given how active and prolific Zou appears to have been with his awful offending, there is every prospect that he could have offended anywhere in the world.’

Zou used hidden or handheld cameras to record the attacks, keeping the footage and sometimes the belongings of the women as souvenirs in a ‘trophy box’.

The footage showed four attacks on three victims in London, where he studied for a masters and PhD in mechanical engineering at University College from 2019 to 2023.

Two of the women were identified and gave evidence at his trial. Another was raped twice but has never been identified.

This Is Not Right

On November 25, 2024 Metro launched This Is Not Right, a year-long campaign to address the relentless epidemic of violence against women.

With the help of our partners at Women's Aid, This Is Not Right aims to shine a light on the sheer scale of this national emergency.

Videos showed seven more women being attacked in China, where the wealthy Communist official’s son returned home during the pandemic. They were never found.

Met police checked 1,270 videos and 9million messages, and hope to help dozens more victims.

Mr Southworth said: ‘We are still working to identify all of those women in those videos.

‘We have now, thankfully, had 23 victim survivors come forward through the appeal that we’ve conducted, some of whom may be identical with some of the females that we saw in those videos, some of whom may even turn out to be from the original indicted cases.’

The team of detectives needed to look at Zou’s potential crimes will have to increase and ‘more resources’ will be put into the investigation.

Mr Southworth added: ‘Ultimately, now it’s the investigation team’s job to professionally pick our way through those individual pieces of evidence, those individual victims’ stories, to see if we can identify who may have been a victim, when and where, so then we can bring Zou to justice for the full extent of his crimes.’

Zou lived in a student flat in Woburn Place, near Russell Square in central London, and later in a flat in the Uncle building in Churchyard Row in Elephant and Castle, south London.

He had also been a student at Queen’s University Belfast, where he studied mechanical engineering from 2017 until 2019.

His crimes were discovered in November 2023 when one victim – a Chinese national – told police he dragged her into a bedroom during a party at his flat, made her drink vodka spiked with drugs and raped her as she screamed.

The other victim identified said she was with Zou and friends in Chinatown in 2021. Her last memory before being raped in his flat was being sick in the street.

Jurors were visibly upset as they had to watch footage of nine of the rapes during his four-week trial at Inner London crown court.

In what will be a delicate situation, Mr Southworth said officers are waiting to hear from potential victims with a view to ‘supporting and understanding’ what has happened.

He said the detectives are looking to understand ‘what may have happened without wishing to revisit the trauma, but in a way that enables (the potential victims) to give evidence in the best possible way’.

The Metropolitan Police is appealing to anyone who thinks they may have been targeted by Zou to contact the force either by emailing survivors@met.police.uk, or via the major incident public portal on the force’s website.

Zou will be sentenced on June 19.

Ruben Amorim has conceded Alejandro Garnacho is ‘trying too much’ after the Manchester United star’s frustrating display in the defeat to Nottingham Forest.

United registered 24 shots on target at the City Ground but failed to truly trouble Forest goalkeeper Mats Sels as they suffered their 13^th Premier League defeat of the season on Tuesday night.

Garnacho had more shots on goal than any other player on the pitch with six attempts in total – three of those off target and three blocked by Forest players.

The 20-year-old’s dribbling also let him down on a night where Anthony Elanga – a winger United sold in in 2023 – scored the game’s only goal with a sublime individual effort, racing forward from deep in his own half past three players before beating Andre Onana.

Garnacho, pursued by Chelsea and Napoli during the January transfer window, had a night to forget against Forest, with defeat leaving Ruben Amorim’s side marooned in 13^th place.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Amorim defended his winger after what was an inpsiid all-round attacking display from his side.

While pleased with his efforts in tracking back, he did admit Garnacho was guilty of overlooking the runs of left wing-back Patrick Dorgu and making the wrong choices on the pitch.

‘He is trying,’ Amorim said. ‘Sometimes you have one day when you are doing the right things but in the final third we were not that good and that can happen.’

Asked if Garnacho was showing signs of trying too hard by taking on too many shots, Amorim continued: ‘That can happen in the game.

‘The most important thing in the game is when he needs to run back he is running back.

‘Of course we want a player who is one against one, sometimes he is trying too much, he has Dorgu to make a movement but I think he wants to help the team and is doing the best.

‘Sometimes he doesn’t make the best choice but I think you can point to any player [and say that] today.’

Garnacho has scored eight goals and provided eight assists in all competitions this season, hitting the back of the net in United’s 3-0 win over Leicester City before the international break.

United are back in action on Sunday when they take on Manchester City at Old Trafford.

Amorim’s side clinched a huge win over their neighbours in the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium in December with Amad Diallo, currently out injured, scoring twice for his side.

United then take on Lyon in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final next week.

Nuno Espirito Santo admits Ola Aina’s injury is a concern after the defender was forced off during Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 win over Manchester United on Tuesday evening.

Anthony Elanga’s brilliant solo effort sealed the victory for Forest, who have tightened their grip on third place in the Premier League, moving eight points clear of fourth-placed Chelsea.

However, Forest have been dealt a huge injury scare as Aina was forced off shortly before half time.

The 28-year-old, who has made 30 Premier League appearances this season, is now a doubt for Forest’s next match against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

Aina also filmed some of his Forest teammates celebrating after the win against United and a pair of crutches was spotted by his seat in the dressing room.

‘We have to assess,’ Nuno said of Aina’s injury after Forest’s win over United.

‘It’s always a concern when a player is injured by himself so we’re going to scan and see how it is.’

Asked if it is a calf injury, Nuno replied: ‘Not quite sure. I think the scan will say exactly.’

Nuno also explained his decision to replace Danilo with Morato before half time: ‘After we scored the game went away from us,

‘We lost control of the game, United created many, many problems.

‘The injury of Ola, I thought we needed an extra body to help us and Morato did good.’

Elon Musk is once again the world’s richest man on Forbes’ billionaires list, despite some financial hits and scrutiny he’s taken for serving the Trump administration.

Meanwhile President Donald Trump, who put Musk in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), more than doubled his own net worth.

Forbes’ 39^th annual World’s Billionaires list features 3,028 billionaires, which is the highest number since the ranking started in 1987. The list released on Tuesday has a record 15 individuals with 12-figure wealth, up one from last year.

The billionaires together have a $16.1trillion collective net worth.

Musk, who is a Tesla and SpaceX chief executive and owns X (formerly Twitter), grew his net worth by 75% to about $342billion. He is the first person ever to exceed $300billion in worth.

The DOGE head also retook the top spot on the list from Bernard Arnault, the chief executive of the world’s largest luxury goods company, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA.

Musk enjoyed a jump with new valuations for SpaceX and xAI, and Tesla stock climbing for 12 months. For the 2025 list, Musk did not take a big hit from Tesla stock taking its biggest plunge in the first three months of this year – 36% – since 2022.

DOGE’s recommendations to cut excess spending in the federal government have been unpopular among some Democrats and unions, and there have even been acts of violence against Tesla including shots fired at a dealership in Oregon last month.

Trump, whose 2024 campaign accepted more than $277million from Musk, last month bought a new Tesla on the White House driveway in a bid to boost Tesla’s tumbling sales and stocks.

The US president’s net worth grew to about $5.1billion with shares of the Trump Media & Technology Group and successful new cryptocurrency ventures. He ranks No 700 on the list.

‘Donald Trump has presided over the most lucrative post-presidency in American history, selling his supporters NFTs, coffee-table books and, most importantly, shares of a money-losing social-media venture,’ states the Forbes list.

In second place is Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg worth $216billion, in third Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos worth $215billion, in fourth Oracle chairman Larry Ellison worth $192billion, and in fifth Arnault and his family worth $178billion.

‘It’s another record-breaking year for the world’s richest people, despite financial uncertainty for many and geopolitical tensions on the rise,’ stated Forbes Senior Editor of Wealth, Chase Peterson-Withorn.

‘And, from Elon Musk to Howard Lutnick and the other billionaires taking over the US government, they’re growing more and more powerful.’

Mikel Arteta has revealed that Ben White is sidelined with a knee injury following Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Fulham in the Premier League on Tuesday night.

White was not included in Arsenal’s matchday squad as goals from Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka, returning from his 10-week layoff due to a hamstring injury, sealed the win for Arteta’s side at the Emirates Stadium.

Speaking on White’s injury before the game, Arteta said: ‘He had a little niggle two days ago.

‘Yesterday we tried, he wasn’t feeling right, so we decided not to put him in the squad today.’

And when asked again about White after Arsenal’s win over Fulham, Arteta said: ‘It was something on his knee.’

In a separate interview, Arteta revealed that White suffered the knee injury during a training session on Sunday.

‘We lost Ben the day before,’ the Arsenal manager said.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have been dealt two fresh injury blows with both Gabriel and Jurrien Timber forced off during the win against Fulham.

Gabriel pulled up with a hamstring injury early in the first half, while Timber was replaced with 13 minutes remaining.

‘Worried because he never wants to come off and he had to,’ Arteta said of Gabriel after Arsenal’s victory.

‘He’s not very sure how big it is and what it is exactly but he felt he that he could not continue.’

Asked if Gabriel will be fit to face Real Madrid in the Champions League next week, Arteta replied: ‘Depends, there’s a week there but I will say with the way he is normally… difficult.’

On Timber’s injury, Arteta said: ‘He was struggling earlier, yesterday as well he wasn’t at his best but we lost Ben as well the day before so he did a big effort to try to play and he could not continue.’

Convicted sex offender Gary Glitter is bankrupt after failing to pay £500,000 in damages to one of his victims.

The woman sued Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, in 2015 for abusing her when she was a 12-year-old girl, as well as two other young people between 1975 and 1980.

The sum includes £381,000 in lost earnings and £7,800 for future therapy and treatment.

Richard Scorer, head of abuse law at Slater and Gordon, representing the woman, said: ‘We confirm that Gadd has been made bankrupt following our client’s application.

‘As he has done throughout, Gadd has refused to cooperate with the process and continues to treat his victims with contempt.

‘We hope and trust that the parole board will take his behaviour into account in any future parole applications, as it clearly demonstrates that he has never changed, shows no remorse and remains a serious risk to the public.’

The court heard that the woman had not worked for decades due to the trauma of being repeatedly raped and ‘humiliated’ by the disgraced singer, who is now 80.

Judge Mrs Justice Tipples said Gadd had subjected his victim ‘to sexual abuse of the most serious kind’.

The judge said the woman had not been able to find ‘any meaningful employment throughout her life’ as a result, and awarded her damages for complex psychological therapy and treatment and loss of earnings.

She said: ‘Her education was ruined and she has suffered severe psychiatric injury for the rest of her life.’

Glitter was put behind bars in 2015 for 16 years after sexually abusing three schoolgirls.

His sentence will end in February 2031.

Glitter was automatically released from HMP The Verne, a low-security prison in Portland, Dorset, in February 2023.

He had served half of his fixed-term determinate sentence but was imprisoned less than six weeks after walking free.

This was after police monitoring showed he had breached his licence conditions by reportedly trying to access the dark web and viewing downloaded images of children.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a worrying update on Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber ahead of next week’s showdown with Real Madrid.

The two Arsenal defenders were forced off with injuries in the Gunners’ 2-1 victory over Fulham with Bukayo Saka scoring on his return.

Gabriel pulled up with a hamstring issue 15 minutes into Tuesday’s match at the Emirates.

The Brazil international received treatment on the pitch but was unable to continue,replaced by Jakub Kiwior.

Timber was also spotted struggling with an issue half an hour into the game, left in discomfort after stretching to block an effort from Raul Jimenez.

The Netherlands was able to continue but there was concern again late on in the game with Leandro Trossard brought onto replace him.

Timber withdrew from international duty last week due to illness but was passed fit to return to club duty this week.

Arsenal travel are in action at the Bernabeu next week in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with doubts now hanging over two of their first-choice defenders.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Arteta told reporters: ‘Gabriel and Jurrien, we don’t know how they’re going to be. We will be assessing them tomorrow.

‘Gabi felt something in his hamstring. We don’t know how big that is.

‘With Jurrien he was already struggling early. He couldn’t continue.’

Arteta also confirmed Timber’s issue was with his knee.

Ben White was not included in the Arsenal squad with Arteta revealing a minor injury issue ahead of kick-off.

With Riccardo Calafiori also sidelined with a knee problem, it leaves Arsenal with a major crisis at the back for one of their biggest games of the season.

Arsenal’s other available options at the back are William Saliba, Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney with Thomas Partey another option for right-back.

Emmerdale’s Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) is barely holding it together, both because of the loss of girlfriend Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) and the unimaginable pain at discovering Suzy was planning to end their relationship.

She’s not been the most switched on or supportive to those around her, having become consumed with learning Mary (Louise Jameson) was the one who’d caught Suzy’s eye. Being so self-absorbed, she has been missing just how bad things have become for sister Tracy (Amy Walsh).

Tracy is on the breadline, having not received a penny from Nate (Jurell Carter) – probably because it’s difficult to pay child maintenance from the bottom of a lake (if indeed that is where Nate is!).

Without child maintenance, Tracy has barely been able to keep her head above water, and Vanessa – swallowed by her world of grief – has only added to Tracy’s financial worries by constantly demanding money and being completely unsympathetic.

To keep herself afloat, Tracy has turned to a life of crime – stealing money out of the shop’s till. No one was aware of her criminal activity except Leyla (Roxy Shahidi) who died before she could tell anyone.

But Eric wants to rake over the accounts to prepare the business for sale and will thus reveal Tracy’s secret. As expected, he discovers the missing money, and Tracy is feeling guilty watching him berate himself for his carelessness while he praises her for her support.

In the throes of a wave of guilt, Tracy confesses to Vanessa. Initially, Vanessa is apologetic – she had been oblivious to her sister’s struggles and feels bad about that.

She hands Tracy the cash to make things right, who then pops it back in the till and tries to convince Eric that he merely misplaced it.

A grateful Eric takes Tracy out for a thank you lunch, but Tracy is caught off guard by a drunk Vanessa who is also in the pub. Vanessa loses her drunken cool and rips into Tracy for stealing the money. Just like that, the secret is out, and Pollard is devastated.

Hard up Tracy finds herself sacked, all thanks to Vanessa’s outburst. With nothing keeping her in the village and in need of a new job, will Tracy quit the village?

The American restaurant chain known for skimpily dressed waitresses, Hooters, has filed for bankruptcy and plans to sell 100 US locations in order to stay in business.

Hooters of America LLC on Monday announced it is signing a restructuring support agreement with a Buyer Group that already owns and operates more than 30% of franchised Hooters restaurants in the country.

The company plans to offload the locations to the group of Hooters franchisees under a voluntary Chapter 11 protection filing made with the North Texas Bankruptcy Court in Dallas on Monday.

It comes after reports in late February that Hooters was heading for bankruptcy.

‘Our renowned Hooters restaurants are here to stay,’ stated Hooters of America CEO Sal Melilli.

‘Today’s announcement marks an important milestone in our efforts to reinforce Hooters’ financial foundation and continue delivering the guest-obsessed hospitality experience and delicious food our customers and communities have come to expect.’

After the Chapter 11 process, all Hooters locations will be owned by franchisees.

Speaking for the Buyer Group, Hooters Inc CEO Neil Kiefer said they have more than 30 years of experience working with Hooters and know what it takes to exceed customers’ expectations.

‘As we look toward the future, we are committed to restoring the Hooters brand back to its roots and simplifying HOA’s operations by adopting a pure franchise model that will maximize the potential for sustainable, long-term growth,’ stated Kiefer.

The chain is famous for Hooters Girls waitresses, who wear low-cut tight tops with the brand’s owl logo and orange shorts. The first location opened in Clearwater, Florida, in 1983 and the company also became known for its wings and sports bar-style food.

Hooters of America grew to become the franchisor and operator of more than 410 restaurants in 38 US states and 24 countries. The company’s existing franchise operations and locations outside of the US will not be affected by the bankruptcy process.

‘I’ve seen firsthand the incredible value and opportunities our brand brings to life,’ Melilli stated, ‘And I look forward to continuing that momentum well into the future.’

Ian Wright fears Gabriel Magalhaes could miss the rest of Arsenal’s season after he was forced off with an injury during the Premier League match against Fulham on Tuesday night.

The Brazilian defended pulled up with a hamstring complaint after sprinting back during an early Fulham counter-attack in the first half at the Emirates Stadium.

Gabriel was replaced by Jakub Kiwior after just 16 minutes as Arsenal went on to go a goal ahead through Mikel Merino’s deflected effort.

Bukayo Saka, who made his return from a 10-week layoff from a hamstring injury, scored Arsenal’s second goal before Rodrigo Muniz netted a late consolation for Fulham.

Arsenal are now due to play Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday before the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at home to Real Madrid next Tuesday.

But Wright believes Arsenal will now be without Gabriel for an extended period of time.

‘It is very concerning because for me, the way he’s pulled up, that’s not two weeks,’ Wright told Premier League Productions.

‘That’s like six weeks at least, could be out for the season, depending what happens with Arsenal.

‘But that’s a massive blow for us, with him and without him there’s a massive difference.

‘He is someone that is vital to what Arsenal are doing.’

Wright’s fellow pundit, former Arsenal, Chelsea and England midfielder Karen Carney added: ‘I think when you’re chasing [Adama] Traore in the first 15 minutes, I think that’s when he started to really stretch himself. You saw him pull up straight away.

‘It’s worrying because of how many injuries Arsenal have to hamstrings, and it’s even more worrying because in seven days’ time they’re going to be playing Real Madrid and you need this guy in your team, so it is a bit concerning.

‘Consistency, the pairing of the centre-backs, his physicality, his mentality, his standards, in every good team you need to have two solid, consistent centre-backs.

‘It would be a huge blow if it was a long-term thing.

Despite being happily married to the most popular woman in Weatherfield, Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) is in search of something new in upcoming Coronation Street episodes.

Don’t worry, he has no intention of betraying Sally (Sally Dynevor). In fact, he wants them to conquer a challenge together.

A few months ago, the couple were on hand to try and support Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan) shortly before he died.

The teenager was sleeping in Tim and Sally’s shed and was eventually allowed to kip on their sofa. They proved to be a great influence on Mason, who was trying to turn his life around at the time.

Sadly, his hopes of staying on that path of redemption got ripped away when he was stabbed to death.

It’s perhaps spending time with Mason that has influenced Tim’s idea as in upcoming episodes, he talks to Sally about fostering.

They decide they don’t want to look after a young child like Hope (Isabella Flanagan), but have no idea she’s overhearing their conversation.

Later on, in the garden, as Tim and Sal continue talking about becoming foster parents, Hope and Ruby (Billie Naylor) send a water balloon over the fence, hitting them both!

In the week, despite Sally making her reservations about the fostering idea, Tim heads online and secretly books himself in for an information session.

Going down this path without Sally knowing definitely isn’t the best idea – but will she eventually agree with Tim’s plan?

Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) takes a mysterious phone call in EastEnders next week, as he makes a plan to Walford permanently.

The newcomer makes quite an impression when he arrives with girlfriend Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) this week, with a number of residents wondering why she had separated from her long term partner Spencer Moon (Christopher Parker).

Following some questioning from Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), she is forced to come clean.

On the surface it seems that Ross – with son Joel (Max Murray) – have arrived to support Vicki at her uncle Martin Fowler’s (James Bye) funeral.

However, before long, their ulterior motive is realised.

Ross urges Vicki to ask her sister Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) for some cash, but she feels guilty asking such a favour given she hasn’t seen her for the last two decades.

She also notes that Sharon has dealt badly with her grief for Martin, and has had a turbulent time with ex-husband Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) during his mental health battle.

With nowhere left to turn, she asks cousin Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) instead.

When Sharon discovers her monetary plight, she confronts Vicki for the truth, but she manages to dismiss her concerns.

On the eve of Martin’s funeral, tensions begin to rise between the women, but Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) gives her friend some food for thought.

Will Sharon agree to help her out?

In upcoming scenes, the two are distraught ahead of the service and try to find a way to get through the traumatic day.

Ross can see that Vicki is in a bad way, and suggests that he and Joel come along to support her.

Sharon reckons that it could be idea – he’d be coming face to face with Alfie again, and given his anger towards him, things could escalate again.

Realising that he should probably put things right, he apologises for upsetting Alfie, but makes it clear that he hasn’t forgotten what has happened.

Later, he takes a mysterious call with an unknown person, and decides to make it his mission to convinced Vicki that they should stick around in Albert Square for a while longer.

She isn’t sure it’s the right decision, and has already booked flights back to Australia.

Realising that it isn’t going to be an easy to win her over, he enlists Ian to persuade her, spelling out that Mark Jnr should be the one who supports her grieving mother Michelle, and not Vicki.

At the end of the week, Michelle calls Vicki – and it becomes clear that Ross’ plan has work.

What is he planning, and why is he so desperate not to return home?

Upset TV viewers have branded Bill Murray ‘gross’ for kissing Naomi Watts during a joint appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

The pair recently starred in The Friend together, and were on the Bravo show on Monday night to promote the sweet flick, which was released in US cinemas last month before a UK premiere at the end of April.

However, things quickly took a turn during a Q&A segment with the audience, when the 56-year-old was questioned over the best kiss of her career.

Before she could answer, the camera panned from host Andy Cohen to his guests, showing 74-year-old Bill tipping his castmate’s head back and kissing her on the mouth.

As the audience loudly screamed over the bizarre moment, the Mulholland Drive actress kept her head in her hands and shook it, while Bill – who was previously linked to Kelis – stared straight at the camera.

‘You’ve got lipstick on your face,’ Naomi laughed, before asking if she went ‘red’ over the shock moment.

‘That was too easy,’ her co-star insisted. ‘That was way too easy.’

According to Decider, she then took the opportunity to answer the question herself, adding: ‘Well, of course, it’s Billy Crudup, my husband.’

Viewers were incensed by Bill’s actions and flocked to social media to unpack the scene, with many branding it ‘disgusting’.

Reddit user Classic-Carpet7609 fumed: ‘Jesus, the death grip on her face. Poor Naomi.’

TenPotential commented: ‘Ummmm thats gross wtf lol [sic].’

‘His smug face and Andy laughing…beyond gross,’ Morethansad agreed.

TechnicalDark9211 penned: ‘I saw it in shock. So disrespectful wtf?’

Vanitaa3 wrote: ‘How gross and horrifying. Andy saying “yes” and “so good”, ugh just awful.’

‘I was in utter shock! I felt so bad for her,’ RealityShizz added.

Naomi has yet to speak out over the kiss, but has been active on social media and shared other videos from the WWHL episode on her Instagram story.

Andy also posted a video from the program on his own Instagram page but offered no comment on the reaction, while Bill has not addressed the backlash publicly.

Naomi is currently married to Billy – the pair grew close while filming psychological thriller series Gypsy in 2017.

They walked down the aisle in June 2023, before celebrating their connection in a second ceremony in Mexico last year.

She also shares children Sasha and Kai with ex-husband Liv Schreiber, who she split with in 2016 after 11 years of dating.

Bill was previously linked to singer Kelis in 2023, but recently poured cold water on any romance rumors during an appearance on SiriusXM in March, insisting there was no truth to the speculation.

Metro has contacted reps for Bill and Naomi for a comment.

During an episode of The One Show, Sally Phillips accidentally let a swear word slip live on air.

The star, 54, is best known for comedic appearances in TV and films such as Bridget Jones, Smack the Pony, and Veep is set to appear on the new BBC series Austin.

Appearing alongside her Austin co-star,  Ben Miller, 59, the star appeared on The One Show to discuss their upcoming series.

The pair discussed their co-star Michael Theo and Sally revealed: ‘We did have a word with each other early on, we were like “Oh s**t. S**t he’s really good. We’re going to have to raise our game.’

As the story continued, Lauren Laverne realised the mistake and then apologised for the ‘fruity language’.

‘We should just apologise guys, for any fruity language, sorry about that.’

Ben and Sally immediately looked at one another and burst out laughing as they realised that Sally had sworn live on air.

Lauren then told co-host Alex Jones, ‘It wasn’t you Alex,’ who looked rather confused as she appeared to have missed the bad language.

‘I think it might have been me, yes I’ll take it,’ joked Claudia Winkleman who was also on the couch alongside the singer Mika.

Claudia gave a nod to Sally as she jokingly took the blame for the on-air swear.

During their appearance on the BBC series, Sally and Ben spoke about the importance of their new TV show, which focuses on neurodiversity.

The series follows Julian (Ben), a newly-cancelled author on a book tour in Canberra, who discovers that he has a 28-year-old son named Austin.

Julian and his wife, Ingrid (Sally), then get to know Austin, who is neurodiverse and has tracked down his father in hopes of forming a connection.

In conversation about the series with Metro, Sally revealed: ‘I think disabled representation, it’s definitely been the poor cousin of race and gender. Also, disability hate crime is the one hate crime that is rising,’ she said.

‘And I really firmly believe in the power of especially television, weirdly, more than cinema, because with TV, you’re turning up in people’s homes.’

EastEnders’ Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) was forced to confess her shocking secret on Tuesday, after her crime threatened to split up Peter Beale (Thomas Law) and Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa). 

As fans of the BBC soap will know, back in February it was revealed that Kathy was the one who attacked Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) and left her for dead on Christmas night after her affair with Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) was exposed. 

While Cindy and Kathy’s son Ian (Adam Woodyatt) have been privy to the truth, the rest of the Beale and Knight families have remained in the dark about who the culprit was. 

Cindy is currently taking time out from Walford after inadvertently causing the Queen Vic explosion that killed Martin Fowler (James Bye). 

Earlier this week, Peter tried to track his mother down, causing him to miss a scan his pregnant girlfriend Lauren had at the hospital. 

As we returned to Walford on Tuesday, Peter decided to make it up to her by proposing – but in a shock turn, she declined. 

Lauren later explained that she is haunted by the possibility that she was the one who attacked Cindy, as she still does not remember her movements of the night in question. 

Fans will remember that shortly after Lauren exposed Cindy’s affair with Junior on Christmas night, she then downed a batch of painkillers Cindy supplied her with, causing her to lose her memory. 

As a guilt-ridden Kathy eavesdropped on Lauren and Peter’s conversation, she soon realised their relationship would not withstand if she did not speak up. 

She then confessed all to Lauren, who was gobsmacked to learn of the bombshell Kathy had been sat on. 

But what will Lauren do with the important information she has just learned? And will she be able to repair her relationship with Peter?

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One or stream first from 6am on iPlayer.

Kim Tate (Claire King) had hope in her heart in tonight’s Emmerdale as she watched Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) and Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) spend time together.

A few days ago, Dawn met Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) at Dale View where they spoke about their feelings. The two characters have been having an affair for weeks, but agreed that they’d just be seeing each other for sex and nothing else.

To make matters even more complicated, Joe and Dawn admitted they had fallen in love with each other. They then sat on the sofa and spoke about their future together, and how they’d go about telling everyone they’re an item.

Just as Dawn got excited, things were ripped away from her. Kim informed Dawn that Joe had left Home Farm for Chicago, and she couldn’t understand why. In reality, Joe had departed the village ready for his kidney transplant operation.

Because Joe hadn’t told Dawn, she was left in a state of limbo.

In tonight’s episode, Billy told Dawn that he’d be taking Clemmie and Lucas to The Hide after their dentist appointments, and wants her to attend as well.

Billy knows that things are tricky in his marriage right now, but believes one of the main causes of that is him messaging another woman on an app.

Dawn told Billy that she’d attend if she doesn’t have any work jobs to sort.

Overhearing the conversation was Kim, who wasted no time in telling Dawn that she should spend time with her husband.

How Kim sees Joe and how Dawn sees him are two completely different things. Kim knows Joe very well and knows exactly how he behaves and treats people, but Dawn thinks that she might be the person to change him for the better.

Dawn admitted to Kim that she really isn’t sure if she wants to be married to Billy anymore.

Kim did her best to listen to Dawn and suggested having family time with Billy, Clemmie and Lucas anyway. She did just this, and even Billy was surprised when she turned up.

As Kim took the children to pick some snacks, she glanced over and saw Billy and Dawn laughing together. It was a sweet moment, and it proved the spark between them has not fizzled out.

But is Dawn willing to persist and work through the problems?

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash’s TV series Stacey & Joe kicks off tonight and shows what the couple is really like behind closed doors.

Stacey is known for being a Loose Women panellist and clearing up clutter on BBC’s Sort Your Life Out.

Anyone who follows her on Instagram will know that she’s qualified after spending the last few years on a one-woman mission to make Pickle Cottage even more beautiful, armed with a paintbrush, a glue gun, and a dream.

It’s been quite the journey for Stacey with her public life beginning on The X Factor in 2009, and taking her to Loose Women, before starting a new chapter as a social media star, and TV’s hottest property.

Let’s take a look at her life outside of TV, and her career so far…

Stacey Solomon’s home

Stacey and her husband Joe Swash, 42, moved into their incredible house, reportedly worth over £ 1 million, in 2021.

The Essex abode, which is surrounded by over two acres of land, was sweetly named after Stacey’s nickname for her children, and she’s made the space perfect for her family’s needs.

She may be doing well for herself but that hasn’t stopped Stacey from getting her hands dirty with some DIY. For every project, she has documented the process on Instagram, or in her book, Tap to Tidy. We’ve seen her jet wash her swimming pool area, stencil her children’s rooms, and even surprise Joe with his own ‘den’. We’re just wondering when Stacey sleeps.

She doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon either, recently confessing: ‘I don’t think I’ll ever be done DIYing… Although don’t tell Joe that. It’s almost therapeutic for me.’

After months of getting everything to their taste, Pickle Cottage was used as a venue for a special occasion…

Stacey Solomon’s family life

On July 24 2022, Joe and Stacey said ‘I do’ in front of their loved ones after seven years of dating at the place they feel happiest.

Announcing their nuptials, Stacey wrote: ‘🕊Forever 🕊 Me and My Husband 😭 I don’t think I will ever get used to saying that. It all feels like a dream.’

She then quoted Dr. Suess: ‘You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.’

On their wedding date, the couple already had two children together Rex, five, and Rose, three, but there was an extra guest in Stacey’s stomach unbeknownst to them. Although it was a surprise, they couldn’t have been happier.

‘So grateful & can not believe I’m saying this… Another little pickle is on the way… 😭 A HUGE surprise, but one that we are so thankful for,’ wrote Stacey.

Belle was born in February 2023, with Stacey sharing: ‘We can’t wait to love you forever and ever we are so grateful we get to be your family.’

Their three children together also have older siblings – Stacey’s sons Zachary, 17, Leighton, 12, and Joe’s son Harry, 16 – making up their beautiful blended family.

There are two more beloved members of their clan – pups Teddy and Peanut.

Also in her tight-knit family is her sister Jemma Solomon, who runs the business The Label Laby, which was invested in by Lord Alan Sugar. Stacey can often be seen attaching her sister’s items to her pantry jars.

Stacey has a very useful family as her other sister, Samantha Stone is a personal trainer, who has been helping her utilise Pickle Cottage’s garage gym, while her dad David Solomon is a photographer and often captures beautiful family photos which Stacey shares with her 5.9 million followers on Instagram.

Stacey Solomon’s journey from The X Factor to TV star

Stacey first burst onto our screens in 2009 on the talent competition, The X Factor, where she made it to the final. From the moment she told Simon Cowell ‘Hiya’, British TV was forever changed.

When asked if she was good at singing, our humble Queen replied: ‘I hope so, you may not think so.’ Stacey, then 19, got four yeses from judges Simon, Louis Walsh, Danni Osbourne and Cheryl Cole, after singing What A Wonderful World.

Although her vocal range was impressive, her personality shone equally as bright leading to more TV work.

At the time, Stacey was a single mum after having her first child as a teenager. Speaking about becoming a parent at a young age, she said: ‘I haven’t done anything that thousands haven’t done’ and spoke of her privilege of having such a supportive family.

She now ‘barely remembers’ life before motherhood, but does remember the judgements she’d get.

‘I do remember all of the looks I’d get & all of the things that people would say when they saw a “child raising a child”. I can’t believe I am now a mummy of 5,’ she wrote on Instagram.

She continued in the defiant caption: ‘And all I can say is, not one of those judgments or opinions back then were true.

‘No matter how real they felt I look at each of them now and I have never felt so proud. They are the kindest most amazing people and I was a part of that.’

The following year, she appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here and became Queen of the Jungle. The person who placed the crown on her head was none other than her future husband, Joe, as he was the reigning champ.

She went on to appear on The Jump, where celebrities learnt winter sports (and Stacey ended up in a relationship with Jackass co-star, Steve-O – the streets never forget), and was eventual host of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Extra Camp – a spin-off of the main show.

By 2016, she was a regular panellist on Loose Women, where she used that platform to create her own personal brand on social media.

She is currently the most-followed ITV presenter, with followers enjoying insights into her life as a mum-of-five, her friendship with fellow influencer Mrs Hinch, and watching her organise every inch of her home. A 60-second reel of Stacey restocking the snack cupboard is surprisingly entertaining, and we won’t be told otherwise.

Stacey often uses Instagram to celebrate small businesses and has recently begun investing her own money into them. She began with Rehab, who sell vegan and cruelty-free hair products. Someone needs to get Stacey on Dragons’ Den – she’s certainly got the funds as it was recently reported she’s almost taking home the average yearly salary of UK residents every single week, a whopping £27,000.

Although Stacey occasionally pops up on Loose Women, she’s mainly focused on her own shows, including Sort Your Life Out, which has won a Royal Television Society award, Crafty Christmas, and her 2024 offering, Stacey Solomon’s Renovation Rescue.

In an interview with The Mirror ahead of the new TV series, Stacey shared that she was excited to make this show so they can show the footage to their children.

‘This is such a lovely family album to have. In years to come, when the kids are getting married, we’ll have so much footage to show them what they were like,’ said Joe.

Stacey also teased that the show is set to be a very honest reflection of their relationship.

‘What you see is what you get,’ said Stacey. ‘What we’ve learnt about each other is that we’re not a perfect couple. We’ve never said we’re a perfect couple, but you get to watch yourself back, which is something that doesn’t happen often.’

Stacey & Joe begins tonight at 8pm on BBC One.

The moment armed men tried to force their way into an upmarket London nightclub has been caught on camera.

Four men have been arrested after people ‘armed with machetes’ tried to gain access to Tabu nightclub in Mayfair in the early hours of Sunday morning, leaving two people injured.

Footage of the chaotic incident showed a small group of men shouting and brandishing what appears to be weapons above their heads in front of security staff.

Amid the confusion a car alarm was triggered, while one of the men picked up a metal post and threw it over his head towards bouncers and onlookers.

Police were called at 3.11am and one man was arrested at the scene on Dover Street.

Three more men were arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told Metro: ‘Police were called to a venue on Dover Street, W1 following reports of a disturbance and three people in possession of weapons. 

‘Officers attended and one man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon.

‘Following initial enquiries, three men were arrested in Hertfordshire in the early hours of this morning in connection with this investigation. All four men remain in custody.

‘At this time, it’s believed that this was an isolated incident.

‘Two people sustained injuries which are not life changing.’

UK News and Pictures, whose photographer took photos of officers at the scene, reported a nearby venue manager witnessed the moment the men tried to force their way in.

The unnamed worker said: ‘It was pure chaos. The men tried to charge the door with large blades. How anyone wasn’t hurt was just pure luck.’

Praising the swift response from police, he said: ‘The officers dealt with it very quickly, and we saw a number of people being arrested.

‘It’s not good for business to have this kind of trouble, but thankfully the situation was brought under control.’

Tabu nightclub describes itself as ‘the home of Tokyo Nightlife, located in the heart of Mayfair’.

It adds that ‘for the best experience and the easiest way to gain access into our Tokyo inspired universe, a table reservation is highly encouraged’.

The Met has asked anyone with footage or other information about the incident to get in touch.

A man has died in Rome after a gas explosion completely destroyed a B&B.

Grant Paterson, 54, from East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, died from his injuries following the explosion that happened at around 8.30am on March 22.

He was pulled out of the ruins after he suffered severe burns and was taken to hospital for treatment, according to Roma Today.

Grant was employed by CalMac which confirmed today that he had died.

Photos from his social media show him visiting sites like the Pantheon and Colosseum just days before his death.

He wrote in a previous Facebook post: ‘Arrived in Rome, trains, planes, buses and foot… Accommodation is beautiful. This should be a good week … if I don’t get killed in some ungodly way…’

Grant posted about his visit to the Pantheon as well and wrote: ‘Genuinely a dream fulfilled….. I have wanted to see the Pantheon since I was a child. So, so chuffed.’

A JustGiving fundraiser has already raised £12,870 for Grant’s family.

People have been sharing their tributes to him in the comments section, including a user called Debbie, who wrote: ‘So sad to hear this. Hadn’t seen Grant’s face since Hunter High. Just awful. Thoughts with his daughter.’

Adrian Whittaker added: ‘I was saddened to hear this about Grant and and send my best wishes to his family.’

While Rob Walker wrote: ‘So sorry to hear this. Sailed as a passenger on the MV Clansman many times.’

Diane Burke, CalMac’s chief operating officer, said: ‘Everyone at CalMac is distraught that Grant has passed away.

‘He was a true gentleman and a credit to MV Clansman, the vessel he served aboard.

‘During a distinguished 12-year career with us, he embodied the very best of CalMac and, with his larger-than-life character, he was much-loved by colleagues and passengers alike.

‘Our thoughts are with Grant’s friends and family at this extremely difficult time.’

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: ‘We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Italy and are in touch with the local authorities.’

Rome’s Mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, visited the scene of the explosion and told reporters: ‘We don’t know his exact condition, but he suffered burns, and this also suggests that it was an explosion caused by gas, which also causes flames.

‘It was a very loud explosion, a building collapsed and the wall of Villa Pamphili was also damaged.’

Mental health isn’t a ‘snowflake’ problem – it affects everyone

‘A few older people are devoid of empathy’
I’m a member of Gen Z and one of many who is in gainful employment while suffering mental health issues.

I wonder where that leaves me in Atticus’ narrow-minded assessment of my generation. Unlike him, I recognise that many people of all generations have mental afflictions worse than mine and are unable to work.

His diatribe is emblematic of the sad fact quite a few older people are devoid of empathy. Ash, Derby

Sitting in silence on a train is not a crime

‘Being on a train without doing anything does not make me weird’
I thought the article about podcaster Curtis Morton ostracising people for just sitting on a train minding their own business (Metro.co.uk, Mar 31) must have been for April Fool’s Day.

Criticising someone who gets on a train and sits quietly without having to use a phone, read a book, have earphones on etc is ludicrous and giving them a name like ‘barebackers’ is horrible.

Just because I sit on a train without doing any of the above does not make me weird and the fact you insinuated such in an article may make people target me and other people like me. Corin, London

Is climate action a luxury we can’t afford in a world on the brink?

‘Flowers later!’
We need more oil and gas from the North Sea as a form of national security, yet John Woodhouse (MetroTalk, Mon) opposes this ‘scaremongering’, saying, ‘We have to cut down on fossil fuels to reach net zero.’

What’s the point of net zero when there’s a looming war in Europe? During World War II, Brits even replaced their flowerbeds with vegetable crops as the country needed more food. Flowers later! Alf, London

Just Stop Oil stop campaigning

‘on behalf of everyone – thank you.’
To the activists of Just Stop Oil, who say they will end their campaigns this month (Metro, Fri), and on behalf of everyone – thank you.

Thank you for doing what the rest of 
us couldn’t.

For standing up for what is right in the face of overwhelming power.

For sacrificing so much to protect the futures of all species on Earth.

For raising awareness of the existential threat of climate collapse, to expose corruption and to inspire others.

And thank you for showing our craven leaders that we are not giving up our planet without a fight. What we’ve seen is only the beginning. Helen Shaw, Liverpool

Early birthday celebrations are underway for David Beckham ahead of his 50th and he looked dapper as ever for the formal party.

Silk dresses and black tuxedos were the dress code as the Beckhams — minus eldest son Brooklyn — partied in Florida.

The football legend turns 50 on May 2, with plenty of parties likely to be in store as the family loves a big celebration.

David and Victoria, 50, showed their always united front as they posed together on a staircase, with the former Spice Girl looking posh as ever in a minimalist silver silk gown.

In another picture, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, could be seen posing with their girlfriends while Harper, 13, — coordinating with her mum in a dark sleek dress — smiled near her parents.

‘So I thought I’d start celebrating slightly early , such a special night in Miami 🩷 ,’ the former England captain wrote on Instagram.

He continued: ‘So lucky to have amazing friends and family to start the 50th celebrations with 🩷 Love you @victoriabeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven 🩷.’

It wasn’t just family at the event as footballing icons joined David in Florida, where the team he co-owns, Inter Miami, is based.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and American football player Tom Brady were all seen posing in their smartest suits.

It wasn’t just footballers who got the star-studded invite, though, as none other than Shaquille O’Neal, better known as Shaq, was in attendance.

Sharing a snap of him and Brady on Instagram, Becks joked he was annoyed to be ‘so small’ compared to the sporting icons.

David is 5ft 11, while Brady is 6ft 4 and famously tall Shaq is a whopping 7ft1.

Long-time friend and sports agent David Gardener was there with Becks posting on his story that they had been friends for 35 years now.

The pair met at Manchester United Youth club and remained close over the years.

Everyone from comedian Jack Whitehall to makeup icon Anastasia Soare appeared to have secured an invitation to the event.

However, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were nowhere to be seen in the party pictures, which showed David laughing and dancing with his friends.

The couple were just on a getaway in Santa Barbara, LA, with the chef-turned-designer posting snaps with his wife.

The birthday bash comes days after David shared a loved-up post of Victoria for Mother’s Day with previously unseen snaps of her and the kids.

This included a black and white shot of Harper as a baby in 2011 resting on Victoria’s chest as she lay on a sofa surrounded by the couple’s sons.

He also used individual shots of his pop legend wife with each of their kids, as well as pictures of himself as a youngster with his mum Sandra, and with Victoria’s mother Jackie too.

‘I’m so lucky to have so many incredible women around me who are the most amazing Mum’s [sic] ❤️ I learn from you every single day ❤️,’ wrote David in the caption.

Katie Price has revealed that she was forced to leave Mucky Mansion after being conned.

The former reality TV star, 46, moved out of the dilapidated house in May 2024 after reports of an eviction notice due to her financial issues (which she has denied) and undergoing a ‘hellish’ ordeal while living there.

It was reported at the time that the star had been served an eviction notice after filing for bankruptcy, which Katie has also denied.

The star now claims that she ‘handed back the keys’ to the home, known as Mucky Mansion after her renovation TV series, after being conned in a fly-tipping scam.

In an interview on The Disruptors podcast, Katie claimed that she thought she was turning her land into a wedding venue.

‘So the reason I got out of my house. I was introduced to a guy who said, “Why don’t we turn your house into a wedding venue? Because you’ve got stables, we’ll do a big gallop track in your fields.”

‘And where your tennis court is, we’ll knock that down and we’ll build you a brand new one and a brand new five-bedroom house. And you can use your house as a wedding venue.

‘Showed my mum all the stuff, all legit, had this architect there, all the drawings, all the planning. I don’t know what’s real and what’s not and he sold us the dream.

He started getting everything at my house, putting scaffolding up on the house and knocked my tennis court down. Every time I’d go to the house, there was all diggers in the field.’

She then revealed things took a turn: ‘And then one day, when we went to the house to film, I went out in the fields and I thought. What is actually going on here?

‘This doesn’t look like it’s a gallop track, and that’s when people messaged me and said “oh my god, Kate is with this fraudster”.

She revealed the man gave her various names, and eventually it led to her being caught out for flytipping and being given an enormous bill to sort out the rubbish on her land.

‘He fly tips on your fields. Then we caught him out. Then I’m left with the house. Council on my case saying you’ve got to get rid of all this flytipping – it’s contaminated, this and that.

‘And I’m like but it wasn’t me that’s done it. We had quotes that it was going to cost me about £800,000 to get it all back right.

‘So I was like, do you know what? I’ll give the keys back, I don’t want it. You can have it back.’ 

The estate, which includes nine bedrooms, four bathrooms, 12 acres, and a disused swimming pool, was bought by the reality star in 2014 for an estimated £ 1.35 million.

Katie sold the property in December 2024 for a loss. A public notice on Rightmove stated at the time: ‘Mortgagees in possession are now in receipt of an offer for the sum of £1,150,000,’ per the Daily Mail.

The star previously called the Sussex mansion ‘cursed’ and told the Daily Mail: ‘I’ve been wanting to get out of my old house for absolute years. It’s been nothing but hell in there. I’ve not had any luck in that house, ever.’

‘I hate that house. Whoever buys it, I warn them, they will get bad luck there. It is absolutely cursed. My anxiety got worse with that house. There was a point when I couldn’t even walk up the driveway without having a panic attack.

‘I had therapy about the house. I should never have gone back there. Now I’m out of it, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.’

The mum-of-five now lives in a four-bed Sussex home for a reported £5,000 a month with her boyfriend JJ Slater.
