      Rico Burton, 31, was stabbed to death at the weekend
      Yesterday the Gypsy King revealed his heartbreak over the death of cousin Rico Burton, 31, who was stabbed in the neck in a senseless attack on a night out in Manchester.
      Posting about the harrowing news on his Instagram page the boxer – who trained with his cousin in his younger days – called for tougher sentences on “idiots carrying knives”.   
      He added: “You don’t know how hard it is until it’s one of your own.
      “Life is very precious and it can be taken away very quick. Enjoy every moment.”

      It’s a fresh blow for the family man who has previously battled mental health issues, exacerbated by tragedy  – including the simultaneous loss of a baby and a beloved uncle in the same hospital in 2014.
      The double whammy almost ended his reign at the top, sending him into a haze of drink and drugs as he struggled with bipolar disorder and suicidal thoughts. 
      A fighter in more ways than one, he battled back from the brink to reclaim his heavyweight title in 2020, but says suffering in silence for years “nearly killed him”.
      “I’ve been an alcoholic, I’ve been a drug addict, I’ve been a fat b***** because I am a food addict and there’s not much I haven’t been addicted to,” he told talkSport last year.

      “But I have recovered and I do feel better for it. There is life after mental health, if you manage it, and the last thing we need is for people to give in to mental health.
      “It is a fight, it is a battle that we will have to continue to battle and fight for our whole life. But life is so much worth fighting for.”
      As a new tragedy rocks the Fury family, we look at how the boxer has bounced back from previous low points.
      Dad ‘gouged out’ pal’s eye
      Tyson with dad John, who was jailed in 2011
      Tyson Fury was a born fighter
      A premature baby who weighed just 1lb, Tyson was one of only four survivors of mum Amber’s 14 pregnancies.
      Dad John, who had already lost two daughters in premature births, named him after the then heavyweight champ Mike Tyson, because he survived.
      When he was nine, his baby sister Romana died a few days after being born, an experience which has haunted him throughout his life.
      Tyson – who left school at 11  – was trained in the ring by his dad, himself a boxer.
      In 2011 he was devastated when John was jailed for 10 years for gouging out the eye of a former friend in a 12-year feud over a bottle of beer. 
      Fury’s uncle, Hughie Fury, stepped in to become his trainer in his dad’s absence and the pair were incredibly close.
      His dad was released from prison in February 2015 and was ringside for his victorious fight against Wladimir Klitschko in Germany that year.
      Double tragedy

      Paris and Tyson celebrate the christening of baby Athena
      Fury found happiness at an early age with wife Paris, who he started dating then they were 16 and 17, and wed in 2008. 
      The couple have six children, three sons – Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, five, and two-year-old Prince Adonis Amaziah – and three daughters, Venezuela, 12, Valencia Amber, four, and one-year-old Athena.
      But the couple suffered a devastating loss in 2014, when Paris was forced to give birth to a dead baby six months into the pregnancy.
      Tyson later revealed that, as he was supporting her through the ordeal, his beloved uncle Hughie was dying on the other side of the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
      The trainer was admitted for a knee operation to put a bolt in his leg, which broke when a caravan drawbar fell on him, but a blood clot travelled to his lung and his heart stopped in surgery, leaving him in a coma for 11 weeks before he passed away. 
      My wife Paris gave birth to a child at six months old that was dead… We were in one side of the hospital and my uncle Hughie was dying on the other side of the hospital, at the same timeTyson Fury
      The double tragedy triggered addictions to booze and cocaine, and saw Tyson pile on the pounds to the point where he was too unfit to fight. 
       “My wife Paris gave birth to a child at six months old that was dead,” he told the Daily Telegraph. “I had to be there when she was delivering the baby.
      “We were in one side of the hospital and my uncle Hughie was dying on the other side of the hospital, at the same time.
      “I stopped myself from thinking about it. I needed to put it to the back of my mind.”
      He added that he bottled up his emotions until after his winning clash with Klitschko in 2015, when “it all came tumbling down. All the problems I’d bottled away just exploded”.
      Drink and drugs

      Struggling with his “demons”, Fury’s weight spiralled to 28st and he turned to drink and drugs, downing up to 18 pints a day.
      A rematch with Klitschko, scheduled for 2016, was postponed twice after Fury was declared medically unfit, amid reports he had also tested positive for cocaine.
      He told Rolling Stone: “I’m going through a lot of personal demons, trying to shake them off. 
      “I’ve not been in a gym for months. I’ve been going through depression. I just don’t want to live anymore.
      “I’ve been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, and taking cocaine. I can’t deal with it and the only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of my mind.”
      At one point he drove his Ferrari towards a bridge at 190mph in a desperate bid to end his life.
      He said: “I gave up on life but as I was heading to the bridge I heard a voice saying, ‘no don’t do this Tyson; think about your kids, your family, your sons and daughter growing up without a dad’.”
      Second baby loss

      Athena was discharged after fighting for days in intensive care
      After relinquishing his world titles, and being stripped of his licence by the British Boxing Board, Tyson sought medical help and was diagnosed as bipolar. 
      He launched a comeback in 2018 and later revealed throwing himself into training saved his life.
      “I have been able to manage my mental health through training and I use it as a medicine,” he said.
      “I use structured routine, like a regimented lifestyle. I like to know what I am doing. If I’ve not got certainty in my life, everything seems to go AWOL. My mind starts wandering and I go very unwell again.”
      If I’ve not got certainty in my life, everything seems to go AWOL. My mind starts wandering and I go very unwell againTyson Fury
      Just days before his comeback fight against Sefer Seferi in 2018, Paris tragically suffered another miscarriage.
      Fearing the effect on his mental health, Paris decided not to tell him until after the fight.
      She said: “I was about eight weeks pregnant. Then on the day of the fight I knew I’d lost our baby. I didn’t mention it to Tyson before he went into the ring.
      “Five weeks later we fell pregnant again… We were still heartbroken over our loss, but overjoyed at the same time.”
      The birth of Athena last August was fraught with trauma when she “died for three minutes” and was left in intensive care, with Tyson asking fans to pray for her.
      The tot was discharged after a few days and left the hospital in a babygrow with the words: “Fighter just like my daddy.”
      Paris posted the picture with the caption: “Had scared us all terrible in her first two weeks of life but thankfully she is fit and well and home.”

      Fury’s return to the top was cemented when he defeated Deontay Wilder to win the WBC heavyweight championship of the world in 2020,  and reclaim his throne.
      The new tragedy in the boxer’s family is sure to cause him immense pain but this time, the grieving boxer will open up about his feelings and says he’s learned that bottling up his emotions never works. 
      “My mistake was I just suffered in silence and it very nearly killed me,” he says. “Then I started seeking medical help, I wished to God I had done it 15 years earlier.
      “I wouldn’t have had to go through a mental breakdown and all the s*** I went through.

      “I am on the other side of it now and I have learned to maintain and manage the problems and I’m living life.
      “I never want to go back to that lonely, dark, horrible, grey place where you wake up every morning and think, ‘Why the f*** did I just wake up?’” More

      Inside football’s most outrageous superyachts – Ronaldo’s £5.5m 6-bathroom boat to £1m-a-WEEK beast rented by A-listers

      by

      SUPERYACHTS are the ultimate status symbol for the mega-rich with many splashing over £100million on their luxury vessels.This week Manchester City owner Sheikh Monsour unveiled his 525ft floating behemoth, the fourth largest in the world, which would barely fit in the team’s Etihad Stadium.
      Man City owner Sheikh Monsour’s £500m superyacht
      The megayacht is so big that it would only just fit in the club’s 55,000-seater stadium
      The £500m yacht has 40 cabins for 48 guests and four entertaining decks including a large alfresco area connected with a swimming platform and club, as well as two helipads.
      But the billionaire has some stiff competition from those who work in the beautiful game, with fellow club owners and players owning their slice of seafaring luxury. 
      From Ronaldo’s £5.5million boat to David Beckham’s aptly named Seven vessel, these are the most lavish cruisers on the waves.

      SEVEN – named after the football legend’s number and daughter Harper’s middle name – is a 100ft motor yacht with a top speed of 30 knots.
      Five bedrooms accommodate 10 guests (plus four crew members) and one insider told The Sun: “It’s pretty plush by anyone’s standards.
      “He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything.” 
      David and Victoria bought the Italian-built boat in 2021, for £5m, and took their first voyage round the Florida Keys in January.

      At 533ft, the Russian oligarch’s superyacht is the second biggest in the world, and is estimated to be worth £600million.
      It boasts a 50ft swimming pool that can be converted into a dance floor and the owner’s deck is a whopping 184ft.
      Eclipse can accommodate 36 guests across 18 suites, as well as 70 crew members, and the master suite is protected by bulletproof glass and armour plating.
      It boasts two helipads and even has a mini-submarine so the former Chelsea boss can take a deep dive to 150ft below sea level.
      Earlier this year Abramovich was sanctioned by the British government over his links to despot Vladimir Putin.
      It was reported that he moved his yachts to a “safe harbour” in Tivat, Macedonia to avoid being seized.

      Saudi royal Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, who took over Newcastle United last year, is used to making waves with his extravagant purchases – but since 2015, he’s literally been making them too.
      He bought Serene, which is one of the world’s largest boats, from Russian vodka tycoon Yuri Shefler for more than £400million.
      The vast vessel, which is 439ft in length and 60ft wide, boasts seven decks that can hold 24 guests, two helipads, a hangar and both a sauna and even a ‘snow room’.
      Reports also claim there’s a 100m submarine aboard and that Leonardo da Vinci’s painting the Salvator Mundi hangs inside, too.
      In 2017, the artwork became the most expensive ever sold when it was purchased for £340million by a mystery buyer – allegedly acting on behalf of MBS.
      If it’s true that could make his floating palace worth more than £700million.

      The Tottenham Hotspurs owner can even play tennis in a full sized court on the yacht
      Spurs’ billionaire owner Joe Lewis certainly didn’t skimp on his ‘boy toys’ when he purchased this lavish superyacht.
      The Aviva, which sold for £113m, is referred to as his ‘mobile office’ and had the first full-size indoor tennis court installed on a yacht.
      Not only that, when Joe’s not playing there it can be turned into a gym and football pitch that’s also used by the vessel’s staff.
      Aviva, which is 321-feet long, can house 16 guests and has a swimming pool, lounge area, a speedboat and multiple jetskis onboard.

      Fulham FC owner Shahid Khan is worth more than £6billion and as one of the world’s richest men, naturally he needed a superyacht to match.
      His 312ft vessel, Kismet, can host 18 guests in staterooms that have been compared to a ‘five-star hotel’.
      It was branded “the ultimate entertainment vessel” and it seems for good reason as it boasts two spacious sun decks perfect for parties.
      That’s not all; one of those entertainment areas can be turned into either a nightclub or an outdoor cinema and the other a basketball court.
      Notably, the superyacht was chartered by Jay-Z and Beyonce for £835,000 a week back in 2018.

      From Love Island’s Gemma Owen to a singer adored by Ant and Dec, can you guess the footballer dads of these glam girls?

      by

      MICHAEL OWEN is full of surprises. First, the former England ace rapped as a giant stack of doughnuts on ITV’s The Masked Singer.

      Now, the baby-faced pundit’s daughter Gemma is set to sizzle on our TV screens this summer as a contestant on Love Island.
      19-year-old Gemma will look very different on the nation’s TV screens to when we saw her in a mini Newcastle kit as a toddler in her famous daddy’s arms.
      The former international dressage rider and swimwear business owner is in it to win it in the famous villa as she reveals she’s just as competitive as her footy star dad.
      But Gemma admits former England and Liverpool star Michael, 42, isn’t exactly “buzzing” ahead of her stint in the Majorcan love nest, and has banned her from scoring on the ITV2 hit.
      But Gemma isn’t the only footie girl in a league of her own…

      Jose Mourinho – former Chelsea and Manchester United boss, currently head coach at Roma – isn’t the only Special One in the Mourinho family. His daughter Matilde has carved out an award-winning ethical jewellery business.
      The Portuguese beauty, 25, fell in love with bling at 18, when her parents gave her a gold bracelet for her landmark birthday. 
      She studied at the London College of Fashion before doing an MA and launched her business – which uses recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds – in 2020. 
      Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra is a fan and Matilde’s dad has been spotted wearing a bracelet from the men’s range.

      Dennis Bergkamp, former Arsenal and Netherlands forward, is a new grandad – and the baby is sure to have some footie skills.
      His girl, Estelle, 26, is welcomed her first child – a daughter called Lomee – with Manchester United’s Donny Van De Beek in April.
      Estelle was born in London but grew up in Amsterdam, where she met midfielder Donny in 2019, and the couple moved to Manchester the following year. 
      The pair love travelling and have posted pictures from New York, Paris and Greece. 
      Estelle announced she was pregnant in November and later posted a gender reveal video to tell fans they are expecting a girl.

      Alicia Scholes, 20, has inherited dad Paul’s sporting prowess with a career in netball. 
      She jumped from England U17s netball team to the U21 in the space of 12 months, and currently plays for London Pulse.
      Paul, former Manchester United midfielder, came in for some teasing on social media last October after Alicia posted a video to her 120,000 followers which appeared to show him giving his daughter a foot rub before nibbling on her big toe. She captioned it: “True love.”
      Alicia is also an ambassador for Sportingmindsuk, which offers mental health support to young people in sport.

      Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is hailed for his style, and his daughter Maria has such a chic fashion sense, she even has a fan account devoted to her looks on Instagram. 
      Maria, 21, was at the Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena when it was attacked by a suicide bomber in 2017, killing 22 people. 
      She is the eldest of Pep’s three children with businesswoman Cristina Serra. 
      Last October, she was rumoured to be dating Everton and England ace Dele Alli, 25, after the pair were spotted kissing in May last year.
      The pair were spotted together again in October, at a London restaurant.

      Former glamour model Bianca Gascoigne – who was adopted by Newcastle and England midfielder Gazza after he married her mum, Sheryl, in 1996  – has carved out a reality TV career. 
      The 35-year-old won the original series of Love Island with fellow footballing offspring, Calum Best, in 2006.
      Since then, Bianca has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Come Dine with Me and Celebrity Coach Trip as well as shows like Loose Women and This Morning. 
      She won a celeb special of Gladiators in 2008 and, in December, came runner up on the Italian version of Strictly. 
      Bianca split from Katie Price’s ex Kris Boyson last year and is now dating new man, Arron Wright.

      With her surname of Maradona, Dalma needs little introduction.
      The 34-year-old – daughter of the late Argentine legend, Diego – began acting at just nine years old, on Argentine children’s TV series, Cebollitas, which fittingly told the story of child footballers at a neighbourhood club. 
      As a teen, she worked in theatre and TV and made her film debut in La Rabia in 2008. 
      Dalma went on to earn a degree in acting. 
      Her mother, Claudia Villafañe, who divorced Maradona in 1998 after 13 years of marriage, is also an actress and won the first series of Masterchef Celebrity Argentina. 
      After her dad’s death from a heart attack in 2020, Dalma posted a touching black and white photo of herself as a toddler with the superstar, with the words: “I’m going to remember you every day, every day missing you a little more.”

      Chelsea Pearce takes after her mother, Liz, with her talent for horseriding.
      The daughter of England and premier league defender Stuart Pearce – who was nicknamed Psycho for his aggressive style – competes for Great Britain in eventing and is a European silver medallist. 
      She is funded with a SportsAid UK grant and also teaches groups and individuals. 
      The 21-year-old started riding at two years old, taking after her mum, Liz, who split from Stuart in 2014 and kept racehorses at stables near the family’s £1.8m home near Marlborough, Wilts.
      At Stonar School, Wilts., she was on the netball, hockey, cross country running and swimming teams.

      Jade Leboeuf – daughter of French footie star Frank – grew up in London, France and Qatar and is now a model and social media influencer, with 141,000 followers on Instagram. 
      The 31-year-old acted in American film, Everlasting, in 2016, but has since become an entrepreneur, launching a food van, Hyde Pizza, in Luxembourg, where she lives. 
      Jade is married to reality show star Stéphane Rodrigues and the pair welcomed their first child, Elon, in August 2020. 
      She’s clearly a fan of the gym if her abs are anything to go by.

      Her Brazilian superstar dad, Romario – now a politician – might be hailed as one of the world’s greatest ever players, but Danielle Favatto is making her own mark as a social media star. 
      The stunning brunette has amassed more than a quarter of a million Instagram followers since 2015. 
      One of six kids, Danielle, 24, posts pictures of herself enjoying the sun in Rio de Janeiro, admiring the sights in Paris and posing in bikinis at various exotic locations. 
      The model also appears to have a deal with a Brazilian swimwear company.

      Most explosive footballer feuds as Rooney snipes at Vardy – pitch scraps, infamous golf club attack & comical put-downs

      by

      UNITY is critical to a football team’s success – but Jamie Vardy and Wayne Rooney aren’t the only teammates who have fallen out.Testosterone and egos can combine to create a fatal cocktail that splits a dressing room apart.

      At the Wagatha Christie trial this week Leicester City striker Jamie claimed “Wayne is talking nonsense” about allegedly asking him to calm his wife Rebekah down at the Euro 2016 tournament.
      Wayne, 36, and Jamie, 35, had been part of the England squad at the time and Rebekah sat next to Rooney’s wife Coleen to watch them play.
      While the row between the Vardys and Rooneys has led to a multi-million pound libel trial, far worse has happened between other team mates – including extreme violence.
      Here we look at the most explosive feuds that have blighted the beautiful game.

      John Arne Riise and Craig Bellamy
      In the run up to Liverpool’s big match against Barcelona in the Champions League in 2007, fiery striker Bellamy wound-up defender Riise by calling him “Ginge” and telling him to sing.
      After the Norwegian refused, Bellamy got a golf club and whacked him with it while drunk in what Bellamy later admitted was “bullying behaviour”.
      Riise claimed the attack was so vicious it could have ended his career.

      He was even more shocked when Bellamy made fun of the assault by mimicking a golf swing after scoring in the key game.

      Mick McCarthy and Roy Keane

      Manchester United’s former midfield hardman Keane has never been one to mince his words – and telling it like it is did not please his manager when he was on international duty for the Republic of Ireland.
      As captain of the squad at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan he felt the need to complain publicly about his team’s preparation.
      Gaffer McCarthy confronted Keane in front of the other players and his star player retorted: “You can stick your World Cup up your b******s.”
      The manager sent his captain home, but this wasn’t the first time they’d fallen out as they’d had an argument back in 1992 when McCarthy called Keane a “disgrace” for arriving back late on a team bus.

      Both Swede Ibrahimovic and Dutchman Van der Vaart thought they were the best players at Holland’s legendary side Ajax.
      Van der Vaart said: “He came to the club and believed that he was the best player at Ajax. It was just two egos converging in one place.”
      When Holland faced Sweden in a friendly, Ibrahimovic injured Van der Vaart in a nasty challenge.
      Ibrahimovic later said: “I don’t like you, I don’t like you as a captain. I didn’t injure you on purpose and you know it.
      “If you accuse me again, I’ll break both your legs and this time it’ll be on purpose.”
      Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer

      One of the most notorious bust-ups was when Newcastle United teammates Bowyer and Dyer squared up to each other near the end of a game in 2005.
      Opposition players exchanging blows is controversial enough, but those on the same side is a total no-no.
      Reportedly, Bowyer had complained that Dyer wasn’t passing to him and his teammate responded that he wasn’t giving him the ball because he didn’t rate him.
      Both players were sent off and handed bans. 
      Legend has it that then Newcastle manager Graeme Souness offered to take them on in the dressing room afterwards, but they declined.

      Liverpool’s legendary defender Jamie Carragher and the club’s former striker Diouf have an ongoing war of words.
      Diouf, who joined the Anfield side in 2002, said “the difference between Jamie and me is that I am a world class player and he is a s***.”
      Carragher mocked Diouf by saying: “The other big difference is he’s scored less goals for LFC in the Premier League than me! (Not counting OG’s!!)”
      Diouf only scored three goals in 55 games during his three years on Merseyside.
      Michael Owen and Alan Shearer

      Shearer is passionate about his boyhood team Newcastle United and did not take well to former teammate Owen making disparaging comments about them.
      In his autobiography, the former Liverpool man said Newcastle fans were “deluded” about their club’s stature.
      Owen, who like Shearer was one of England’s top strikers, later said moving to the Geordie side was a “downward step” after Real Madrid and something he regretted.
      Shearer posted a clip of Owen saying he “couldn’t wait to retire for the final six or seven years” of his career followed by the comment “Yes, Michael, we thought that also, whilst on £120K a week.” Ouch.

      Hothead midfielder Barton was never far from controversy during his career – but the lowest moment was his attack on Manchester City teammate Dabo in 2007 during a training session.
      Witnesses told how he repeatedly punched Dabo while he was on the ground, resulting in an eye injury.
      Barton admitted assault and was given a four month jail sentence suspended for two years.
      Dabo said: “He says he is a man, a bad boy, but he is just a coward.”

      When Bayern Munich played Manchester United in the Champions League final in 1999 their two star midfielders couldn’t hide a mutual loathing.
      Effenberg had questioned Matthaus’s courage after he failed to take Germany’s penalty in the 1990 World Cup Final.

      The 23-year-old German 400m runner was snubbed from the Olympics team last summer, but that hasn’t stopped her getting noticed, due to her stunning looks.
      Alica has been picking up gigs in TV and modelling alongside her running – and even rejected an offer to appear in Playboy.
      We reveal all about her glam life and why fans joked she was the reason Erling Haaland stuck around at Dortmund before joining Manchester City this week.

      ‘Keeping Haaland at Dortmund’
      Fans joked she’s the reason Haaland is staying at DortmundCredit: Instagram @alicasmd
      That didn’t stop her from getting fan attention, however.
      Thanks to her posting stunning bikini photos on Instagram on a regular basis, Australian magazine Busted Coverage dubbed her the “Sexiest Athlete in the World”.
      And she has a whopping 2.9million followers on Instagram, with whom she shares her intense weight-lifting and running workouts.
      When she was filmed training Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland, as part of her work with Bundesliga giants Dortmund and her sponsorship deal with Puma, fans even joked it was a tactic to keep them at the team.
      One fan said: “That’s why players stay in Dortmund.”
      Another added: “This is the greatest strategy of any club to keep their best players.”
      Glamorous holidays

      When she’s not training, Alica travels the world in glamorous locations – from Bali to Greece.
      She shared loads of stunning pictures from a trip to Crete in September, and added: “Living my best life.”
      And last month, before she headed to Tenerife to train, she shared a snap of herself in a bikini on a beautiful beach in Bali.
      She wrote: “Can’t wait to be back in the sun tomorrow.”
      Rejected Playboy offer

      Her good looks and following have also landed her some modelling jobs too – including the chance to walk at Milan Fashion Week for Hugo Boss.
      Alica modelled clothing from the fashion brand’s second season of its Russell Athletic capsule collection – and shared the spotlight with supermodels Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls and Irina Shayk, among others.
      Sharing photos to Instagram along with a clip of her on the runway – set on a baseball field – she wrote: “Yesterday was a blast, thank you so much for having me.”
      However, she previously rejected an offer to pose for Playboy.
      TV career
      Alica is launching a TV career now, it seemsCredit: alicasmd/Instagram
      Alica has also recently announced she’s venturing into the TV world, and is set to feature on hit German TV show ‘Who Knows Something Like That?’
      Alica announced her TV debut on social media, showing she was on the set of the game show.
      Fans will get a glimpse of the appearance later this summer, when the show broadcasts on June 7.
      But it may just be the start of a career in telly.
      Heart lies in sport
      She has said her heart lies in sportCredit: alicasmd/Instagram
      Despite this, Alica seems uncomfortable with being known for her looks and remains adamant that sport is where her heart lies.
      “I do not know why I got this title,” a bewildered Alica said about being World’s Sexiest Athlete. “Sport comes clearly first.
      “There are thousands of girls on Instagram who look good and still do not have as many fans.”
      She was far more ecstatic when her country was able to relax coronavirus restrictions last summer.

      GLAMMED up and ready for a night out, England’s 2018 World Cup line-up of WAGs stopped to pose for a photo outside their hotel.But there was anger within the team camp after the snap was splashed all over the media – with Rebekah Vardy accused of staging it for the paparazzi.
      The 2018 England World Cup WAGs lined up for a snap
      Harry Maguire’s wife Fern Hawkins was among those upset over the photo, taken during the contest in Russia, claiming she was “embarrassed” and unprepared.
      During yesterday’s explosive Wagatha Christie trial at the High Court – where Vardy is suing Coleen Rooney for substantial libel damages – she denied setting up the shot.
      Vardy claimed it was actually Annie Kilner, wife of Manchester City and England defender Kyle Walker, who suggested they go out for a photograph.
      Annie is one of the nine WAGs who posed for the picture – so what happened to the rest of the “crew”?

Rooney says infamous ‘It’s…Rebekah Vardy’s account’ tweet was ‘last resort’
      Here we reveal what they’ve been up to since.
      Millie Savage – John Stones’ ex
      As he rose through the ranks at Barnsley academy to become an England regular, Stones’ childhood sweetheart Millie was by his side all the way.
      The couple met at Penistone Grammar School in South Yorkshire when they were 12.

      Stones, 27, reportedly has a tattoo of Millie’s face on his arm, which he got inked after allegations that he cheated on her with events manager Jessica Peaty in 2016.
      The couple share a daughter, who they welcomed in 2017.
      But in November 2018, just four months after Millie cheered him on in Russia, Stones unexpectedly packed a bag and quit their £3.4million Cheshire mansion.
      A pal told The Sun: “She’s devastated. He left with no real explanation.”
      Not long after, Millie claimed she got an Instagram message telling her Stones was dating beautician Olivia Naylor – and that he’d “had a baby to her”.
      Olivia’s baby was born a month after Stones left Millie — but the child is not his.
      In an interview with The Sun in 2020, Millie admitted the ensuing two years had been “hell” and claimed Stones had been “an a**hole”.
      She said World Cup fame had gone to his head, adding: “I thought we’d spend our lives together but I feel he’s become a bully.”
      I thought we’d spend our lives together but I feel he’s become a bullyMillie Savage
      Millie also accused Manchester City defender Stones of spying on her during lockdown by accessing her home CCTV via an app.
      She said: “He was sending messages about my comings and goings. I was creeped out. I felt like I was being constantly watched.”
      Stones was spoken to by cops but not suspected of committing any offence.
      Millie has since moved into a new home paid for by Stones, where she can stay until their daughter turns 18.
      A source close to Stones said: “John is a devoted and loving father and his priority has and always will be the welfare and total privacy of his daughter.
      “He denies and refutes the version of events described and has always gone above and beyond since his break up with Millie to protect his daughter.”
      Gemma Acton – Gary Cahill’s wife

      Childhood sweethearts Gemma Acton and AFC Bournemouth defender Gary Cahill, 36, have also been together since meeting at school in Derbyshire – and they’re still going strong.
      The couple, who now live in Surrey, married in 2013 and share two children, Leo and Freya.
      At their wedding, guests were encouraged to make a donation to the Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice in Sheffield, which provides care to children with a shortened life expectancy.
      This pair prefer to stay out of the limelight, rarely sharing social media snaps.
      Megan Davison – Jordan Pickford’s wife

      Megan, 26, is a regular fixture at Everton goalie Jordan Pickford’s matches – especially when he’s playing for England.
      The couple met at school (can you spot a pattern emerging?) and have been together since she was 14.
      They enjoyed a very casual wedding in Crewe in March 2020, after postponing their Maldives plans due to Covid.
      Pickford wore a baseball cap and ripped jeans while Megan sported Givenchy studded boots.
      They share a three-year-old son, Arlo George. The couple once shared a cute photo of the newborn’s baby grow, which read: “My daddy likes to… ‘Get the rave on!’, a catchphrase that has stuck with Pickford since his days at Burton Albion in 2013.
      Megan, who graduated from university in 2019, isn’t shy about sharing snaps on Instagram of her family, and boasts 96,000 followers.
      But she sparked controversy in December after sharing an Instagram post which appeared to support anti-vax protestors at the disruptive Freedom March in London.
      Megan posted a snap of an attendee holding a placard which read: “Even if you’re not conspiracy minded, something in your soul has to say…something is wrong.”
      The photo appears to have since been deleted from her account.
      Annabelle Peyton – Jack Butland’s fiancee

      Another WAG who likes to keep a low profile is Annabelle Peyton – engaged to Crystal Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland, 29.
      The couple, who met in Dubai, got together in 2016, after Jack was dumped by his childhood sweetheart Steph Parsons.
      They got engaged two years later in April 2018 in Italy, and are now parents to two sons, George, three, and Freddie, one.
      Butland previously told MailOnline that he “owes the world” to “incredible” Annabelle, after she helped him recover from an injury.
      Annabelle – a former air hostess for Emirates – keeps her Instagram account private, but now and again proud Butland shares a sweet snap of the two of them together.
      Fern Hawkins – Harry Maguire’s new wife

      These two lovebirds tied the knot in secret yesterday at Crewe Register Office, with only close friends and family in the know.
      Manchester United captain Maguire, 29, went straight from training to the ceremony.
      The couple are expected to take their marriage vows again in France this summer at a romantic chateau venue.
      Maguire began dating Fern, also 29, in 2011 when the pair were teenagers and they got engaged in February 2018.
      They welcomed daughter Lillie Saint in April 2019, and their second, Piper Rose, in May 2020.
      Fern graduated with a first class honours bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy in 2017.
      Shannon Horlock – Nick Pope’s girlfriend

      Publicity-shy Shannon met Burnley keeper Nick Pope, 30, in 2013.  
      Preferring to stay out of the limelight, Shannon keeps her social media pages private – but did share a sweet Facebook tribute to her fella on their three year anniversary.
      She wrote: “You make me feel happy, proud and loved every single day.”
      It’s believed the couple share a daughter, who was born in 2019.
      Annie Kilner – Kyle Walker’s wife

      Kyle Walker, 31, has scored a few own goals during his relationship with now-wife Annie Kilner.
      The pair began dating in their teens, with Annie admitting it was “love at first sight”.
      They share three sons – Roman, Riaan and Reign – and Annie has admitted to wanting a girl.
      But Annie dumped Walker after Ex on the Beach star Laura Brown claimed she enjoyed romps with the Manchester City player in his £200k Bentley.
      Annie kicked him out of their Cheshire home, but they got back together.
      Walker has since been embroiled in a number of steamy encounters – culminating in a coronavirus lockdown sex party with two hookers in April 2020.
      He bedded Lauryn Goodman in 2019 and became a dad for the fourth time the following April. Annie branded him “gutless” because he broke the news over the phone.
      She said in 2020: “What he has done to me and our children is obscene.”
      SunSport revealed how Annie held secret talks with lawyers over a share of Walker’s £30million fortune.
      But Annie forgave him and the couple are now back together after Walker popped the question in 2020 with a £250K engagement ring.
      It’s believed they had a small ceremony to avoid publicity and because of Covid.
      Lucia Loi – Marcus Rashford’s girlfriend

      Lucia was thrust into the limelight when she was spotted cheering on Manchester United star Rashford, 24, in the stands during the England vs Colombia match at the 2018 World Cup.
      It’s believed the pair met at Mersey School in Greater Manchester, but they have largely kept their relationship away from the public eye.
      Last year it was reported the couple had broken up after eight years amid lockdown pressures, but still had a “mutual love and respect”.

      Inside Tyson and Paris Fury’s humble life despite £70m fortune – from shopping at Poundland to snubbing Ferraris for van

      by

      HE’S reported to be worth around £70million, but you’d never guess it from Tyson Fury’s very humble lifestyle.The heavyweight champ popped into Cancer Research and spent £3 on some sunglasses just days after knocking out fellow Brit Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium – for which he earned £26.2million.
      Tyson and Paris Fury live a very humble lifestyle despite their £70m fortune
      He was recently seen picking up a pair of sunglasses from a charity shop for £3
      But his accessories aren’t the only thing he scrimps on, with the father-of-six (reportedly, soon to be seven) having said he only needs £10,000 to afford his lifestyle.
      From his £550,000 Morecambe house to shopping at Poundland and B&M, we reveal Fury’s modest life.

      WBC heavyweight champ Fury lives in a five-bed, four-bathroom home that is worth more than £550,000, according to Zoopla.
      Along with his wife Paris and their six children, he made the fading seaside town his permanent home in 2011, and has since become its most famous residents with crowds flocking to see him train on the beach.

Djokovic’s scandal-hit life – from £50K sextortion plot to anti-vax row
      Speaking on a three-part ITV documentary in 2020, he said: “People say to me, ‘Why don’t you live in California or America?’ – why would I?
      “Why would I abandon my own country for a bit of money and some fame?
      “I love it. I would never leave Morecambe. It’s true beauty. If the weather was better, every house here would be a million quid.”
      While many celebs travel the globe, visiting luxurious locations like the Maldives and Dubai regularly, Fury is rarely out of Morecambe.

      “And if I go on one holiday a year, great.
      “I hate holidays. Can’t stand then in my sight. I’m a workaholic, I love being at work.”

      Although they’re one of the richest families in sport, for their weekly shop, the Fury clan normally stock up their fridge at the very modest Spar supermarket, and shop in Poundland and B&M.
      It’s all because Tyson and Paris are determined to keep their children “grounded”.
      Speaking to OK! magazine, Loose Women star Paris insisted they were conscious about not spoiling their six kids.
      She said: “We’re trying our hardest. I want the children to be grounded and have the normal upbringing me and Tyson both had.
      “We’ll go down the Poundshop and the B&M, and I’ll say they can’t have certain things.
      “I’d be so disappointed if they grew up not knowing the value of anything, so we do try.
      “But then there’s times where one of the little ones will go on an aeroplane, turn left to first class and say ‘Get me a Diet Coke, please!’
      “So we then scratch our heads and think we haven’t cracked it.”
      Old banger vans

      Fury has got a Ferrari and Rolls Royce parked outside his house, but says he gets more joy out of old bangers than supercars.
      He added: “Everyone wants to elevate in life to something better than they already are, but I don’t.
      “I’m one of them freaks who wants to stay the same old person.
      “I get most joy out of jumping in an old Transit van and driving it down the road than I would do jumping in a £250k Ferrari.
      “Or I can go and give £500 for an old car like a [Volkswagen] Passat or something, and people say ‘why are you driving this piece of junk?’ but it’s not to me, I like that.
      “Crazy person I suppose.”
      And it’s a mode of transport closely linked to his heritage that the 6ft 9ins powerhouse prefers to focus on.
      He has restored and customised a gypsy wagon that he proudly treks through the streets – after spending over four years renovating it.
      Speaking about the four-wheeler, Fury said: “[It’s] real gold, gold leaf, all hand-painted.
      “The Gypsy code says you must travel towards the sun, so we keep the sun towards the back.”
      Eating and drinking local
      It’s clearly the food in Morecambe that Fury loves too – as he often eats in the local cafes.
      Following his win over Deontay Wilder in February, he celebrated with a healthy option at a coffee shop called Keegans near his home.
      He also is regularly seen grabbing a hearty breakfast from Bayview Cabin, a tiny sea front establishment that sells fast food, drinks and ice cream to locals and tourists.
      Megan Wilson, who serves there, told the Sun: “What he gets to eat is dependent on whether he’s got a fight or not.
      “Sometimes he’ll order a big breakfast, but sometimes he watches his weight and tries to get something healthier.
      “If he has a fight coming up, he’ll order a breakfast box but will ask to have the fat cut off the bacon.”
      She added: “He’s a lovely customer, he’s very open and funny and will talk about whatever you like.
      “If you ask him a question about his boxing, he always gives a very honest answer.”
      Should Tyson fancy a drink and a nice meal with Paris, the family often head to The Morecambe Hotel and Restaurant, where they can gobble down a variety of grilled dishes, pies, and sandwiches from the menu.
      Fury has also been known to indulge in a bevvy at the Crafty Scholar, a boozer that shows live sporting events and attracts the travelling community.
      Helping hand to others
      Fury describes himself as “the people’s champion” – and that’s reflected in the charitable work he claims to have done.
      His first blockbuster meeting with Deontay Wilder in 2018 saw Fury pick up £7million, all of which he says was given to homeless charities in the UK.
      He said: “When I go home I’m going to build some homes for the homeless and set up some funds for drug addicts and alcoholics.
      “I was always going to do it but being here (in California) gives me that extra push to go and do it even more.”
      And before the bout, Fury was seen walking around LA without shoes on.
      Fury revealed: “What happened was, we were in Starbucks having a coffee minding our own business just looking out the window and there was this old fella outside no shoes on him – one shoe off, one foot bleeding.
      “Everyone was looking at him like ‘get rid of him,’ he walked off and I thought that’s somebody’s child, that’s a human being.
      “As he walked off through the crowd I heard somebody say to me, ‘give him your shoes, go and give him them shoes on your feet,’ I was like ‘yeah’.”
      In 2016, England fans in Paris benefited from Fury’s charitable side.
      The Man United supporter was in France for Euro 2016 and splashed out 1,000 Euros (£892) on 200 jagerbombs for England fans.
      Designer clobber
      Fury does have some designer clobber too – but he’s grounded otherwise
      Despite his modest lifestyle, there’s no escaping Fury’s designer wardrobe – full of clothes from Louis Vuitton to Gianni Versace.
      Fury often posts images to his social media accounts of his Louis Vuitton collections and Versace suits and dressing gowns.
      And Fury once wagered his gold, diamond-encrusted Rolex watch to whoever could beat him in the ring.

      Inside Cristiano Ronaldo & Georgina Rodriguez’s inner circle – from squad of ‘Darlings’ to pal star supported in tragedy

      by

      THERE is no greater pain than the loss of a child and, today, Cristiano Ronaldo and partner Georgina Rodriguez will be struggling to process the death of their baby boy, amid the joy of the arrival of his twin sister.The Manchester United striker, 37, announced the tragic passing of his son last night, saying the couple were “devastated” and adding:  “Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”

      The devoted dad, who already had four children before Georgina fell pregnant with the twins, said simply: “It’s the greatest pain any parent can feel.”
      As the grieving process begins, the pair will be surrounded by a loyal squad of family and friends, ready to rally around them and help them in any way they can.
      Messages of support are already pouring in, with teammate Marcus Rashford tweeting: “Thoughts are with you and Georgina brother. I’m so sorry.”
      Sir Kenny Dalglish wrote: “Sending our heartfelt condolences to you and your family for your unimaginable loss.”

Ronaldo’s troubled childhood with drunk dad spurred him on to be best father
      Gary Lineker added: “Terribly sad news. Sincere condolences to you and your family.”
      There were also messages of sympathy from Man United’s premiership rivals, including Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool.
      But one of the most touching messages came from Ronaldo’s sister, Katia Aveiro, who posted a message on Instagram saying: “I love you and my heart is with you over there. May God take care of you and strengthen your path more and more.”
      Referring to Ronaldo’s dad Dinis, who died from liver failure in 2005, she added: “Our little angel is already on daddy’s lap.
      “Our little girl is there, firm and strong and full of health and is going to show us with every day that only love matters.”

      Ronaldo’s fiercely protective sisters

      The heartfelt message – posted alongside pictures of Ronaldo and Georgina, 28, with Katia’s own children – highlights the close bond the legendary star has with his family, who are fiercely protective of him.
      Ronaldo’s sisters, Elma and Katia, are both very vocal in their support of their brother.
      Oldest sister Elma has called him:”My king. The best ever. The pride of my life.”
      Last week, she posted a picture of the pair of them with the words: “My great and perfect love. The most beautiful human being I’ve ever met in the world. In fact my whole family is an example of love and respect.”
      After he scored a hat trick, last month, Katia lashed out at critics who said he was past his prime, writing: “The old man, the finished one, the hasbeen… And he is well behaved and very disciplined and used to responding as only he knows. A hat trick.”
      Brother Hugo, who is ten years old that his famous sibling, is also a huge supporter and is often pictured at matches.
      The striker saved his brother from a drink and drugs addiction by paying for rehab and they are now closer than ever, go on holidays together, and Ronaldo is godfather to Hugo’s son.
      Ronaldo has also paid tribute to his mum, Maria Dolores in the past, calling her: “The best mother in the world, a warrior who always taught me not to give up, the best grandmother my children could ever dream of having.”
      He is a huge believer in family ties, once saying: “If you don’t have family, life will be very, very tough.”

      Georgina can also draw strength from her own mother Ana Maria Hernandez and sister, Ivana, who is already by her side to comfort her.
      Ivana, who became a mum to her own baby girl in November, is thought to have flown to the UK with boyfriend, Carlos Garcia, before the tragedy to help the new mum with her recovery.
      The “inseparable” Rodriguez threesome share a special bond forged in adversity. Georgina’s dad, a cocaine kingpin, spent  much of her childhood in prison.
      He was sentenced to 11 years in jail in 2003 for masterminding a failed plot to smuggle more than £100,000 worth of 83 per cent pure cocaine from Spain to France.
      He was freed on licence in 2008 but was soon back inside for smuggling £1million of cannabis resin from Morocco to Spain with accomplices. He got a two-year term and was freed in 2013.
      Jorge died at 70 in 2019, from complications related to a stroke he had two-and-a-half years before.
      In a recent message on social media, Georgina paid tribute to her mum and sister, writing: “I want to thank my family, that has not let go of my hand since I came into this world.
      “Thanks to my mum and my sister @ivana.rodriguez for accompanying me on this journey in life, because we have always been a little family of three, but this has made us become unconditional and inseparable.
      “Thanks mum for instilling in us the values you have, the ones we cannot live without today. Love and respect.”

      While Georgina’s romance with the soccer star has  brought her a world away from the rundown area of Madrid where she grew up, she has a close circle of friends that predate her rise to riches and keep her feet on the ground.
      Her “Darlings”, as she calls them, include childhood friend Mamen Morales as well as Ivan Garcia and Sofia Mezquida, pals from her days as a sales assistant in Gucci, where she was working when she first met Ronaldo in 2016.
      “Being friends with Georgina is the bomb,” Mamen said in the Netflix documentary I Am Georgina. 
      “We have a normal friendship, because we have always been friends, but she has the money and the capability that other people don’t have. She’s a friend with superpowers.”
      The Darlings – which also include Ivana – have kept her company throughout Ronaldo’s moves around the world, from Madrid to Turin and Manchester, and often drop everything to travel to wherever she wants to meet them. 
      “The thing that makes her really happy is family, and friends, because she also forms a family with her group of friends,” says Ivan.

      For Ronaldo, constantly moving clubs has meant he has close friends all over the world, including Pepe, Marcelo and Ricardo Quaresma.
      But perhaps his greatest support at this time will be ‘best pal’ Jose Semedo, who is going through his own grief after losing his beloved wife Soraia Read, last year.
      The pair have had a lifelong friendship after meeting as kids at Sporting Lisbon’s youth academy.
      Soraia, 34, died suddenly from complications after an infection, and Ronaldo reached out to comfort his childhood pal, writing: “Last week, unexpectedly, a fantastic human being left, our dear Soraia, a wonderful mother and wife of one of the best friends that life has given me.
      “Nothing can erase the pain of my brother Jose Semedo and the whole family.
      “But we are together, today as always, in time to face this very difficult time. Rest in peace, my friend. We’ll never forget you.”
      For solid couple Ronaldo and Georgina, however, the greatest comfort will come from each other and from their five children – Cristiano Jr, 11, Eva, Matteo and Alana, all four, and the newborn baby girl.
      He recently posted a picture of his kids with the words: “Family is everything.”
