    Woodsy, 35, heaped her praise on Ben White, who plenty reckon would fit right in at Casa Amor.
    And with the popular talkSPORT host clearly in a celebratory mood, former 2018 Love Islander Charlie Brake tried his luck with a speculative effort to woo her.
    Woods was having none of it, though, as she calmly shot down his advances and ended his hopes of some festive cheer.
    Laura initially tweeted at full-time on Boxing Day: “Ben White is magic,” to her 662,000 followers.

    Charlie then slid into the replies by responding: “You’re magic,” complete with a wand emoji.
    Woods replied with three laughing emojis and a simple: “Thank you Charlie.”
    Charlie was not done there, though, as he added: “Dinner?”
    Laura showed her class as she politely declined the invite.

    The former Sky Sports presenter said: “I’m not hungry but thank you.”
    But fellow Arsenal fan Charlie was seemingly not too disappointed as he added an extra tweet on Tuesday morning, writing: “If you don’t buy a ticket you don’t win the raffle.”
    It led to some hilarious reaction from fans on social media.
    One said: “That’s a pie and a half albeit one that won’t be eaten cos she’s not hungry!”

    Another wrote: “Yesss Woodsy!! @Charlie_Brake would you like cream with that pie?”
    And a third added: “Someone better phone the fire brigade to put those flames out from that crash and burn.”

    Brake certainly got a far better response than others who have flirted with Woods online.
    The Arsenal supporter regularly crushes trolls by publicly humiliating them and brutally rejecting sleazy fans’ plucky requests.

    ENGLAND star Jack Grealish has revealed he is learning to become a DJ.Grealish, 27, has been open about his love to party when he’s not on the pitch and showed why he’s called “Jack the Lad” last summer when he celebrated City’s Premier League title in Ibiza and Las Vegas.

    The versatile forward also declared he would be a club promoter in Spain if he didn’t make it as a professional football player.
    And it looks like he is preparing to cross over to that area, perhaps after he hangs up his boots.
    That is why Grealish is trying to learn how to DJ, and even came up with the nickname of “DJ Greal-O”.
    The City star, though, admitted during an interview with former Love Island participant Josh Denzel that he is currently “awful” at it but won’t give up as he wants a new hobby.

    Grealish told BT Sport earlier this season: “Mate, do you know what? You know me. Actually, I like every type of music. I’m actually trying to start, I’m trying to learn to DJ at the moment.”
    Denzel cut in: “Jack Grealish the DJ, yeah?”
    Grealish responded: “Yeah, DJ Greal-O. Nah, I don’t know what name [it] is.”
    Denzel asked: “How good are you at DJing? Because I tried and I gave up.”

    Grealish said: “I am awful, I am awful but everything takes time, doesn’t it? I’m trying to learn Spanish as well. Spanish in a brummy accent, yeah.
    “But I just want like, do you know what it is? I want to try and learn some stuff outside of football and have like a hobby and stuff.
    “I watch a few stuff on TV but when I thought about it, I don’t actually do a lot of stuff outside of football.
    “So I want to learn to do some stuff. People say DJing, and once you get the hang of it – obviously it takes a lot of time – but it’s something that you can really enjoy.”
    Grealish has come on as a second half substitute in both of England’s World Cup games so far in Qatar.
    Now the ex-Aston Villa man will be hoping he can force his way into the starting line-up for the final group stage match against Wales on Tuesday.
    England will top Group B if they beat Wales and are already guaranteed a spot in the last 16 if they can avoid a four-goal defeat.

    Jake Paul REJECTS Tommy Fury’s fight offer amid claims Love Island star’s management company ‘don’t pay’ opponents

    JAKE PAUL has rejected Tommy Fury’s fight offer after claiming the Love Island star’s team “don’t pay” opponents.Twice the pair have signed for a celebrity grudge match and both times Fury was forced to pull out.

    Paul looked set to make a hat-trick of attempts to get Tyson Fury’s younger brother into the ring – especially after they finally came face-to-face this month.
    TNT was due to fight Paul Lambert in Dubai on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition with YouTueber Deji only for it to be scrapped amid Fury coming in overweight.
    That led to Fury facing Cameroonian Rolly Lambert in a snooze-fest exhibition instead – which Paul hit the ringside for to provide commentary.
    After Tommy’s win on points his incensed dad John Fury noticed Paul ringside, and he ripped off his shirt and launched a fiery tirade at the 25-year-old.

    However, he was not the only one fuming.
    After Fury had come in 7lb overweight, Bamba had insisted on a new deal being made which eventually led to that bout being scrapped and Lambert stepping in.
    Global Titans, who put on the event, have paid the Brit in full since as they claimed that the issue was a contractual error that was neither fighter’s fault – although Bamba is adamant he has not received a penny.
    The American claims he has lost over £30,000 from it – and that has put Paul off facing Fury as he insisted that his compatriot should be paid after he made the agreed weight.

    Providing an update on talks for the Fury clash, the YouTuber-turned-boxing star wrote: “One thing I’m never going to do is do business with people who don’t treat fighters well. Pay Paul Bamba.”
    And that could scupper any plans as Fury has insisted that they are involved in the pair’s third attempted fight date.
    Fury tweeted at the weekend: “Jake Paul, if you want this fight to happen with me and Global Titans in Feb or March in any location decided by GT, we can have the contracts sent by Wednesday.”
    With Paul not initially responding, he then added: “NO RESPONSE to my team from Jake Paul in regards to sorting contracts for this fight. My last tweet until I have some communication from your side.” More

    The forward got fully into the mood by wearing a Mickey Mouse hat.
    Bowen would have been disappointed not to have made the England World Cup team as he was called up earlier this year following a fine season for West Ham.

    The 25-year-old was instrumental in his side’s run to the Europa League semi-finals before the heartbreak defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.
    He made his debut for England in the 1-0 defeat to Hungary and played the full 90 minutes.
    This season, however, the forward started slowly but showed signs of improvement as he began to find the back of the net.

    Round three. Ingram vs Kouzi.
    Ingram is working a variety of shots in this third round, and these two are really going at it now.
