    The breed was outlawed after several attacks, but Raya has an exemption certificate.
    An expert said last night: “He’s a responsible owner.”
    Raya and model girlfriend Tatiana Trouboul, 27, are said to adore the mutt, even though new laws are in place outlawing XL Bullys after a string of attacks.

    Spaniard Raya has shared snaps of himself cuddled up with the glaring beast on the sofa.
    Tatiana has also been seen taking him for walks.
    Raya, who is currently on loan to the Gunners from Brentford, wants the pooch to guard their property after fellow stars suffered a series of violent break-ins.
    He has hired experts from Elite Protection Dogs to train Goku.

    A spokesperson for the firm said: “David Raya has one XL Bully. He is called Goku, he is a one-year-old. David’s had him since a puppy.
    “Everyone with XL Bullys is ­worried. But David is a responsible owner, he wants to be responsible with him.
    “We are training Goku on a long-term contract.”
    Tearful owner of XL bully begs for breed to be ‘wiped out’ after they killed grandma at his home
    Elite Protection Dogs has 35 years’ experience training canines, charging up to £20,000.
    In 2022, Aston Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez got a Belgian Malinois from the firm in the same month he landed a prized World Cup ­winner’s medal with Argentina.
    New laws have come in over the past two months after a rise in maulings from XL Bullys, including those previously regarded as “soft and loving”.
    On December 31 it became illegal for an XL Bully to be out in public without a lead and muzzle.
    It is also an offence to sell, breed, give away or abandon the dogs.
    And this month it became illegal to own an XL Bully in the UK without an exemption certificate, which Raya possesses.
    The dogs must be microchipped, neutered and kept in a secure place. Owners must also have third-party liability insurance.
    Meanwhile, dog shelters have seen a huge increase in XL Bullys being handed in or abandoned.
    Fatally attacked
    The first reported attack on a person was in Liverpool in 2017, when a toddler was severely injured by four dogs.
    Their owner, Andrew McGowan, was subsequently jailed.
    In 2021, ten-year-old Jack Lis was killed by an XL Bully in Caerphilly, South Wales, while visiting a friend, after which two people were put behind bars.
    A month later Adam Watts was killed by an XL Bully at his dog shelter in Kirkton of Auchterhouse, Scotland.
    A further eight people were killed by the dogs in 2022 and 2023, including 54-year-old father-of-one Ian Langley, near Sunderland, in October last year.
    This month grandmother Esther Martin, 68, was the latest person to be fatally attacked by the breed – days after the ban came into force.
    She was killed by two XL Bullys owned by her son-in-law Ashley Warren, 39, who begged for the breed to be banned.
    Warren, of Jaywick, Essex, said: “If my dogs did that to her, when I had never seen anything but love from them, then that breed just has a killer switch.
    “I honestly thought the ban was a stupid government plan to wipe out a breed which I had never seen anything but softness and love from. Now I think they need to be wiped out.”

    SEVERAL Prem stars have bought dogs for protection following a string of terrifying break-ins.
    Man City ace Jack Grealish posed with a £25,000 Belgian Malinois this month after raiders broke into his home while his family were in.
    He got the dog from Chaperone K9, which is popular with footballers.
    Grealish’s City and England team-mate Kyle Walker bought a £40,000 Doberman from the firm.
    The majority of dogs they provide are German Shepherds or Belgian Malinois, with each put through a rigorous 12-month training ­programme so the dogs are able to recognise threats including burglaries, attacks and robberies.
    Other current and ex-Prem stars to use the firm are Marcus Rashford, Mark Noble, Phil Jones, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jesse Lingard.
    Similar firms like Elite Protection have also sold pets to protect stars such as ex-Spurs goalie Hugo Lloris. More

    Inside Christian and Geri Horner’s £50m fortune – including prize-winning side-hustle & jaw-dropping Spice Girls payday

    THE future of Christian Horner’s Formula One career continues to hang in the balance amid bombshell allegations about his workplace conduct.The Red Bull Racing chief, 50, is awaiting the verdict of bosses after being accused of “inappropriate behaviour” by a female colleague and sending “sexually suggestive” texts.

    Christian, who has categorically denied all claims, was put through an eight-hour grilling as part of an independent investigation and his fate will reportedly be decided within 10 days.
    It risks ending his 19-year career with Red Bull Racing, where he’s paid in excess of £8million a year, and putting a sizeable dent in the fortune earned by him and his ex-Spice Girl wife Geri. 
    The couple have netted tens of millions of pounds over the years, with a fortune of at least £50million, which has afforded them an enviable and comfortable country lifestyle.
    From £2.4million in rental properties to a horseracing firm and royalties, we look into Geri and Christian Horner’s finances.

    £8M Red Bull salary
    Red Bull boss Christian is believed to be the highest-paid team principal in F1 and began working for them in 2005 . 
    Company accounts reports, which span between 2011 and 2022, show the F1 boss has been paid a staggering £40.2million over that 11-year period. 
    His 2022 pay from Red Bull was listed at £8,044,000, which was almost £3million higher than the £5,085,000 salary he bagged a year earlier.
    It’s an impressive hike from his £1,343,000 salary back in 2011.

    Popstar fortune
    Geri amassed a staggering fortune from her time as both a solo artist and a member of the Spice Girls, who remain the best-selling female group in history.
    Red Bull debuts design with Mercedes-style element reportedly dubbed ‘illegal’ by Christian Horner
    Her popstar earnings were paid in Wonderful Productions Limited, which was set up in 1997 – one year before the singer left the band. 
    During the company’s first three years of trading, it reported a £13.1million turnover and that she paid herself £8.9million. 
    No pay disclosures were reported by her in accounts between 2001 and 2018. Figures suggest the firm entered a non-trading phase between 2009 and 2012. 
    Geri bagged £2.2million in pay following the return of the Spice Girls – minus Victoria Beckham – in 2019, reportedly for just six gigs.

    The bombshell claims that have rocked F1F1 was rocked earlier this month by the sudden news that Christian Horner had been placed under investigation by Red Bull’s Austria-based parent company.
    This was thought to be over a “dossier of incriminating material” regarding “inappropriate and controlling behaviour” towards one female, The Telegraph reported.
    Red Bull’s Austrian parent company flew an independent lawyer to the UK to question the multi-millionaire race ace and his accuser.
    The former racing driver, who runs world champion Max Verstappen’s all-conquering Red Bull team, endured an eight-hour grilling over the claims last week.
    Most recently however, more allegations have come out as the De Telegraaf reported that Horner allegedly sent sex messages to his employee “over an extended period of time”.
    Messages were said to have been saved and presented as evidence to the external ­barrister running the inquiry after the woman made a complaint last December.
    Mr Horner categorically denied the new allegations and is thought to be taking legal action against De Telegraaf.
    An F1 source told The Sun last week that “Christian has not been sacked or asked to resign and he is not going to resign”.
    The investigation raises the question of who could take over the helm of the all-conquering racing team of world champion Max Verstappen.
    His wife Geri Halliwell is also said to be “terrified her life will unravel” amid Horner’s “inappropriate behaviour” probe.
    The ex-Spice Girl, who was “in floods of tears” when the Red Bull boss was hit with the bombshell allegations, fears the drama will drag on for years, a source has claimed. 
    But Geri, 51, is understood to be standing by her husband.
    She has told pals: “Christian has done nothing wrong.”
    Horner has overseen a huge period of success for the racing team – winning multiple F1 championships with Sebastian Vettel and Verstappen.
    Red Bull has won seven Formula One world drivers’ championships and six world ­constructors’ titles under Horner’s leadership.
    Last season, the team won 21 of the 22 races on the global F1 tour, and Verstappen, 26, won the drivers’ crown.
    Horner was awarded a CBE for services to motorsport in the 2024 New Year’s Honours List

    The Daily Mail reported that the firm was worth £3million the following year and she paid herself £1million from the company.
    The paper also claims Wonderful Productions made £152,000 profit in 2022 and Geri paid herself £762,240 that year. 
    Last year’s accounts showed losses of £77,994 but held reserves of nearly £1.4million. 
    Geri also has the firm Falcon Queen Limited, which was set up in May 2021 to provide “business support activities”. All shares are owned by Wonderful Productions.
    According to the Mail, Falcon Queen Limited made losses of £75,521 last year and plunged £276,000 into the red. 
    Geri is still believed to receive earnings for Spice Girls Limited – a joint venture between her, Victoria, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton. 
    Media ventures

    Alongside music, the singer has had successful stints as an author.
    Geri released two autobiographies – If Only, which became a best-seller in 1999 and sold more than a million copies in the UK alone, and Just For The Record three years later.  
    In 2008, she released a six-part children’s series called Ugenia Lavender, which sold 250,000 copies in its first five months.
    Last year, Geri released her latest children’s book Rosie Frost And The Falcon Queen. 
    Her earnings have been topped up over the years by other media work including a stint as a judge on The X Factor in 2011 and 2012 and Australia’s Got Talent in 2013.
    She also made cameos in TV shows including Sex And The City, US show Extra and appeared in the films Spice World, Crank: High Voltage and Gran Turismo.

    Horseracing empire
    The Horners have a number of race horses, all of whom are named after Geri’s songs and covers including It’s Raining Men, Look At Mee, Lift Me Up and Mi Chico Latino.
    Among the most successful is Lift Me Up, an eight-year-old male who was born in 2016 and cost £28,000. 
    The horse, real name Hector, was lined up as a potential Cheltenham Festival hopeful but hasn’t run since last May. 
    Lift Me Up, who has raced at least twice, earned the couple £2,361.18 in prize money for winning a race in front of 70,000 punters, according to the British Horseracing Authority.

    He said: “We don’t really know what we’re doing but it’s exciting. It’s something Geri and I both get a kick out of and something we enjoy as a family.” 
    Rental properties
    Away from the equine world, the couple also have a buy-to-let business named Estelle Ward, which was set up in 2021.
    It’s listed as the owner of a £2.1million flat in Highgate, North London, according to Land Registry. 
    The latest accounts for Estelle Ward lists property assets of £2.4million with a £1.6million ‘loan facility’, which the couple pays interest on at 1 per cent above the Bank of England base rate.

    Kammy, 66, said during the new series of Dave’s travel show World’s Most Dangerous Roads: “I’d say I’m 25 per cent away from the person I used to be.”
    Close pal and ex-Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling, 68 replied: “Seventy five percent of Chris Kamara is more valuable than 100 per cent of a lot of people you see on telly.”
    Kammy was diagnosed with speech apraxia in 2021. The condition, which interrupts messages from the brain to the vocal cords resulting in slurred speech, has also affected his balance and ability to walk.
    But he flourished thanks to the advice to go to Brazil given by friend Kate, who took her late husband Derek Draper to Mexico for treatment after his speech was affected by Covid.

    The methods used in the treatment are unknown but results have been so good, the former Bradford City manager is urging for it to be available in the UK.
    He said: “The treatment has not been sanctioned by the world medical boards. I’ll be campaigning to try and get it over here.”
    During his tour of Sri Lanka with Jeff — on the country’s most hazardous roads — Kammy showed how much progress he had made.
    He said: “I thought that was it, it’s over, but I’m back working with my best buddy and maybe getting away with the voice.”

    Jeff added: “There was a time where I didn’t think I’d see Kammy as we knew him again, but Most Dangerous Roads has given him a boost because he’s realised he can do things”.

    He was thought to have been under investigation for alleged controlling behaviour after a female employee lodged an official complaint last year.
    But Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf claimed to have seen messages at the heart of the probe that were “sexually orientated”.
    Horner, 50, vehemently denies the allegations and has vowed to fight the claims.
    He is said to be hoping for the investigation to be resolved within the next week — when the team will fly to Bahrain for pre-season testing.

    He has already faced an eight-hour grilling but is said to be happy to cooperate with the investigation for as long as necessary, including answering more questions from an independent lawyer.
    In the meantime, the Spice Girls, who had a hit with Say You’ll Be There, have been rallying around Geri, 51.
    A source said: “They are quietly supporting her behind the scenes and checking in to make sure she is OK.
    “Geri has been left ­broken by the ordeal, but is grateful for the kindness being shown to her by friends.”
