      Brand new Premier League show SCRAPPED as negotiations break down after months of talks

      by

      PREMIER LEAGUE clubs have scrapped plans for a top-flight version of “Drive to Survive” – after failing to reach an agreement with Netflix.Discussions with the streaming giant have been going on for months around a Prem-backed documentary service, with the company offering £5m per year for a three-season deal.

      But that was nowhere near enough for top-flight clubs, especially as it would have seen dressing room access to all 20 clubs.
      The Netflix show’s behind-the-scenes footage would have been similar to Drive To Survive for F1, tennis’ Break Point and Full Swing, the golf equivalent.
      Box To Box Films, who oversaw Drive To Survive as well as the Steven Gerrard Make Us Dream documentary and boxing’s The Kings show, would have produced the football docuseries.
      Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Leeds and Sunderland have all had Netflix or Amazon camera crews following them in recent years and the new access has proven a big hit with fans.

      With the Prem’s two main broadcasters Sky Sports and BT Sport also unhappy about an outside organisation muscling in on their territory, club chiefs canned the idea at today’s Premier League shareholder meeting.
      In a four-hour meeting, club bosses agreed the principle of a ban on shirt-front gambling sponsorship, to come into effect for the 2026-27 seasons.
      That is likely to be confirmed in the coming weeks, although sleeve advertising from gambling companies will continue.
      A clampdown on rogue owners was also agreed – including a formal human rights test for the first time.

      Clubs will also vote on upgrades to VAR technology for next season, likely to bring the introduction of limb-tracking cameras as used by Uefa and Fifa, at the annual meeting in June.

      Premier League referees will come into line with International FA Board demands to stop time-wasting, with extra added time expected to add an additional two or three minutes to matches next term.
      But there has been no softening of the opposition to ending the Saturday 3pm TV “blackout”, despite streamer DAZN suggesting it would push for a reversal to allow it to screen all 1,656 EFL games if it wins the next rights deal.
      There are, however, signs that an agreement over a new funding arrangement for the EFL, which is demanding 25 per cent of the Prem’s broadcast income, is in sight.
      Clubs were told that both sides have moved from their initial positions in discussions, although there will be a variation in the terms of parachute payments to relegated clubs, rather than the ending of the cash hand-out demanded by the EFL.

      During an episode of the second season of her Netflix show I am Georgina she let slip that she had sex with Ronaldo, 38, in their spa.
      The revelation came during a dinner with friends as the 29-year-old was explaining how she could not get her arms wet after having tattoos.
      She said, via Marca: “I had avoided bathing on the beach, but I came home and Cris told me to go to the spa.
      “I was super grated with my arms up in the spa so they wouldn’t get wet.

      “I was fed up with having my arms like this. Also, in the pool at home I almost don’t stand up and I say, ‘I give up’.”
      One of Ronaldo’s friends, Ivan then realised what the model was hinting at and suggested: “You could have made love in bed, not in the spa.”
      And in response, Georgina blurted: “No, we did it there.”

      She then went quiet after realising what she had just said and remained silent despite her sister asking, “did you make love in the spa?”

      While Ivan jokingly added: “She has become nervous.”
      Georgina and Ronaldo started dating in 2016 after meeting at a Gucci store she worked in while he was at Real Madrid.
      The following year she gave birth to daughter Alana Martina and four years later announced they were expecting twins.
      Tragically, their son Angel died at birth but daughter Bella Esmeralda survived – taking the former Man United star’s total to five kids.
      In her Netflix series, Georgina revealed how the couple heartbreakingly suffered three miscarriages.
      The couple were forced to deny rumours they had secretly got married at a private ceremony in Mexico in 2019.

      Georgina Rodriguez hints at Cristiano Ronaldo’s next move after Saudi Arabia as she reveals their future plans

      by

      GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ has hinted at Cristiano Ronaldo’s next move after he leaves Saudi Arabia.The 29-year-old made a rare revelation about the inside world of her partner’s footballing career during her first-ever TV interview last night ahead of the second series of her new Netflix show called “I Am Georgina” due out tomorrow.

      Rodriguez revealed renovation work on their mansion just outside of Madrid had now finished and she thought Ronaldo’s 12-year-old son, who they call Junior, had a good chance of becoming a professional footballer.
      Asked whether the couple planned on living in the Spanish capital full-time after Ronaldo retires, she said: “We want to keep a house in Madrid operative because you just never know.
      “We have a lot of children. Junior is getting older and wants to become a professional footballer and we don’t know what the future holds.”
      Five-times Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, 38, was repeatedly linked to Atletico Madrid last summer as he looked to secure a move that would give him Champions League football.

      But Georgina revealed he never had any intention of signing for the La Liga side before his record-breaking move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr. 
      Reports at the time said Atletico Madrid were willing to offer Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata to the Manchester United in exchange for the Portuguese captain.
      Supporters of the Spanish side reacted by releasing a statement opposing a deal and held up anti-Ronaldo banners during a friendly match in an attempt to quash any potential.
      Simeone went on to claim Ronaldo could never have joined Atletico Madrid given his standing at local rivals Real.

      And on Wednesday night Ronaldo’s model and influencer girlfriend confirmed of his much-talked-about possible signing: “That option was never something he had in mind.”
      The former £10-an-hour shop worker, who admitted it was “love at first sight” when her current partner walked into the Gucci store in Madrid where she was working when they first met in 2016, also said moving to Saudi Arabia had changed their family routine.
      Georgina, interviewed on popular Spanish show El Hormiguero, said: “In Saudi Arabia they train later because of the climate.
      “In Manchester we all got up at the same time and had breakfast together before the children went to school.
      “Now I get up at 6.30am and take the kids to school before going back home and Cristiano gets up later.”
      Admitting she was no football lover, she added: “I’m not into football.
      “I’ve always loved ballet and started working when I was young and because of my timetables I was never able to see matches.”
      Ronaldo left Man United by mutual consent last November following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan in which he accused the club of betraying him and admitted he didn’t respect manager Erik ten Tag.
      His £173 million-a-year move to Al-Nassr after the World Cup made him the highest-paid sportsman ever. More

      I fell in love on Netflix reality TV show Too Hot To Handle – now I am focused on returning to motor racing

      by

      HANDSOME racing driver turned reality TV star Seb Melrose is ready to return to motorsport.The 25-year-old, who last appeared at the Ginetta GT4 Supercup in 2021, found a new audience when he starred on Netflix hit Too Hot To Handle.

      Handsome Melrose came runner-up with stunning LA girl Kayla RichartCredit: https://www.instagram.com/sebmelrose
      He came runner-up with now ‘longterm’ love Kayla Richart – scoring plenty of fans and admirers, as well as earning a huge social media following.
      That makes Melrose a more attractive proposition for manufacturers now, as they look to bring sponsors in and he looks for a drive this season.
      While, with his fame affording him a subsidised seat, it’s realistic for the Scottish star to become a gentleman driver who pays for his seat.
      Melrose told SunSport: “I am trying to sort out a few deals – I really want to get back into racing cars.
      read more sports news
      “I’ve had a few chats with touring car, so we will see where that takes us.
      “But, for the first time ever, money is no longer the issue. It’s about finding the drive.
      “I’ve found different opportunities with it now.
      “Since the age of 16, I always wanted to become a racing driver and work my way up to becoming a works driver for a big manufacturer.
      Most read in Motorsport
      “That’s kind of changed now. I feel there’s more of an opportunity to earn and to keep your life fairly free. So you could be almost like a gentleman driver – without sounding like an old guy!
      “I’ve got the opportunity now to not race as a full-on professional, but be a professional driver while keeping my contracts wide open.
      “I’ve no longer got that pressure that I need to find a manufacturer and get paid.
      “Because of my social media numbers now, the growth and engagement I can provide to manufacturers, they have subsidised a lot of the seats for me.
      “Racing is cheaper than it has ever been. I don’t mind paying, and now I can pay for a seat that is subsidised.”
      Thanks to his popularity on Too Hot To Handle, Melrose has over 500,000 followers on Instagram.
      The godson of three-time Indy 500 champion Dario Franchitti also receives plenty of paid partnerships on social media. It makes him a far more attractive prospect to hire.
      He revealed: “I’m not going to talk for anyone, everyone is on their own journey. For me, specifically, for what I can now provide to sponsors and teams is something that other drivers can’t.
      Now with a strong Instagram following, Melrose is a huge catch for manufacturersCredit: https://www.instagram.com/sebmelrose
      Thanks to his new found fame, Melrose enjoys a glam lifeCredit: https://www.instagram.com/sebmelrose
      “I am still a quick driver. I can still peddle a car. So not only will they get someone who has the ability to get on the podium, they also get someone who can market their sponsors.
      “When it came to the crunch of chasing my dream in racing or going on a reality TV show, I thought I could actually combine the two.
      “Thankfully, it paid off. I’ve got the numbers now and I came across well, but it could easily have gone south.
      “I could have been hated, and the sponsors might not have wanted to associate with me.”
      Despite flirting with celebrity, Melrose admitted he missed motor racing.
      He eloquently explained what it means to him: “It’s an escape for reality.
      “You get the helmet on and the belt and strapped in, you’re not thinking about anything else, but what you’ve got to do on that race track at any given time.
      “It’s almost like a form of meditation for me now.
      Melrose appeared on Too Hot To Handle’s recent fourth season
      Kayla Richart stole the heart of Melrose on the show
      “You are still faced with other types of stress, performing and timings, but you kind of go into another world and all you care about is your car and what is going on around you.”
      Melrose won the charms of stunning LA beauty Kayla, 22, despite plenty of competition on Too Hot To Handle.
      In a way, he joked, it was almost like the sport he competes in.
      “It was competitive, just like racing,” he said.
      “Everyone was competing for the same girl, Kayla. She was the girl I fancied and I felt there was a connection there, just like the other guys.
      “But I wasn’t biggest guy there, I didn’t have the biggest muscles, and wasn’t the tallest. I probably had the worst engine out of the lot, but I still managed to leave everyone else behind.

      “I couldn’t have had a better experience. I came out with Kayla, who is someone I view as longterm.”
      And in Kayla, Melrose will have his No1 supporter cheering him on from the stands when he returns to the track.
      “She’s looking forward to me racing just as much as I am,” Melrose added.

      “Kayla’s nervous about it, and she would like me to race in the States. I’ve got a couple of options this season, so we will see.
      “But this year I am ready for it, I want to get out there and show people what I can do and have fun doing it.” More

      Georgina Rodriguez reveals she had 3 miscarriages before tragic death of baby with Cristiano Ronaldo in new Netflix show

      by

      GEORGINA Rodriguez will reveal that she suffered three miscarriages before the devastating loss of her baby boy last year in her new Netflix show.The girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo is starring in a new Netflix series about her life after the first series premiered last year.
      Georgina Rodriguez has opened up about her tragic miscarriages
      The girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo stars in a new Netflix series about her life
      Georgina, a 29-year-old influencer, is seen breaking down in tears in a trailer Netflix released last week as she relived the heartbreak moment she lost one of her twins during childbirth.
      She will make the shock admission in the first episode of the new series of I Am Georgina, according to Spanish news website El Espanol.
      Her daughter Bella Esmeralda with Cristiano Ronaldo was born healthy in April last year at a hospital in Manchester but her male twin sibling Angel died.
      Georgina revealed in the first episode of the second series, which premieres on March 24: “Every time I went to the gynaecologist’s at night I had nightmares because I was worried about what position they would be in, what the delivery would be like, if it would be a caesarean section.
      “I was very afraid at each ultrasound, I felt very tense because I’d had three previous miscarriages and I came home in pieces.”
      She described her visits to the gynaecologist as “horrible, because I was always vomiting”.
      The Argentinian-born Spaniard is also set to reveal she didn’t immediately tell her other children Angel had not survived and told them he would be born a little later than his sister, according to El Español.
      She said: “They were born on Easter Monday. The most-awaited moment arrives and your heart stops.
      Most read in Football
      “Bella was born strong and healthy but a piece of my heart shattered.
      “You ask yourself how you’re going to carry on. I wasn’t prepared to accept or recognise what had happened to me and I wasn’t ready to tell my children about it.
      “As I still had a belly, I told them that Angel was still going to wait a bit to be born.
      “Until Cris told them that Angel was in Heaven. That was a dose of reality.”
      Between leaving hospital Georgina’s sister Ivana helped by removing the cot, Moses cradle and teddy bear the influencer had prepared for Angel at the Cheshire home she shared with Cristiano before the couple’s move to Saudi Arabia.
      Admitting she has yet to come to terms with her loss, Georgina will admit: “I will never be the same person again.
      “Every time I look at Bella I ask myself, ‘Would Angel be like that?
      “The truth is I feel I am not ready to think about it, as if I still haven’t accepted it. 
      “I always say to my children, ‘Your little brother is in the sky, he doesn’t want to walk, he wants to fly. Every time you look at the sky, think of him.'”
      Thanking her footballer partner for his “unconditional support and love” Georgina adds in the first episode: “He has played a really important role.
      “Gods put the right people in your path.”
      She said of her surviving twin daughter, one of two children she has with Cristiano: “She has managed to fill to some extent that hole that is present in my life.
      “When she’s older and we tell her what happened, she will be very proud of what she has achieved.”
      Georgina cries in the official trailer released last week, which didn’t contain any of the latest admissions revealed by the Spanish press, as she recalls last April’s trauma.
      She admits, as an adorable photo flashes up on the screen of her lying in bed in hospital with Bella Esmeralda on her chest: “Life is hard, life goes on.
      “I have reasons to move on and be strong.”
      Praising her footballer partner for helping her get through the darkest period in their life together, she adds: “Cris really encouraged me to continue with my agenda. He said: ‘Gio, get on with your life, it’ll do you good.'”
      She went on: “My priority right now is my family and my children. I’m so happy and thankful.”
      The trailer also shows moments from Georgina’s 28th birthday that will feature in the show, such as when Cristiano spent thousands of pounds on a light and laser show projected on Dubai’s famous Burj Khalifa tower.
      Georgina admits: “It’s really hard to surprise me” as the light and laser show is played out before admitting: “Cristiano is very thoughtful, really good to me. Cristiano’s the love of my life.”
      In another part of the show, she meets Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalia, who admits she was a fan of the first series of ‘I Am Georgina’ released on the influencer’s 28th birthday in January last year after hugging her and saying: “I watch your show. I love it.”
      Georgina is also filmed getting a tattoo done which is thought to be the inking from last August in memory of the child she lost.
      The former shop worker, who now has 47 million followers on Instagram, is filmed saying: “I need to be working” during the trailer for her new series.

      She also confesses: “I feel like a super mum, and superwoman” before adding alongside footage of her dancing romantically with Cristiano: “I’m a mother, I’m a sister, I’m a friend, I’m a woman, I’m Georgina.”
      The first series of Georgina’s popular Netflix show premiered in 190 countries around the world last year. More

      “This moment makes me cry every single time i see it,” Tweeted a Verstappen fan account.
      In the clip Schumacher can bee seen smiling at the youngster, who he’s clearly very fond of.
      Several other fans responded with tear emojies to the clip, with one writing “that’s so adorable”.
      Max was introduced to racing from a young age alongside Michael’s son Mick, who also became an F1 driver.
      Most read in Motorsport
      Double-world champion Verstappen has revealed he spent a big part of his childhood with the Schumacher family as they would all go on holidays together.
      He told F1 Insider: “I was three or four years old at the time. I just knew that was Uncle Michael.
      “Who was very nice. Who was an extremely big family man.
      “But I never saw him as a record World Champion, I didn’t know that.”
      Max, a 35-time race winner, continued: “You can see that in the old photos and videos that we have at home. Mick or Gina was always there.
      “It was great. I still have positive memories of those weekends today.”
      The 24-year-old added that Jos and Michael would load their kids up on two-seater go-karts and two father and son duos would race against each other.
      He said: “We always went karting in two-seaters. Michael with Mick or Gina, my father with me.
      “But when it got too dangerous, the fathers quickly took over!”
      Netflix’s documentary also brought to light a touching photo showing Michael cradling baby Max on his lap alongside his own daughter, Gina-Maria.
      Drive to Survive also charts Mick’s difficult sophomore season in 2022 – including his horror 170mph accident in Saudi Arabia.
      Mick’s rough year saw him outscored by his teammate, the returning Danish veteran Kevin Magnussen.
      The show outlines Mick’s struggles – and the pressure that came with racing under the name “Schumacher”.
      Speaking about his good friend, Max said: “It was different for Mick than it was for me. His father is the record world champion, with seven world championships.
      “That’s a difficult starting position at first.”
      Michael, one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, continues his recovery after his horror ski crash in 2013.
      He raced from 1991 to 2006, and again from 2010 to 2012 – a second act of his career which saw him become instrumental in setting up the dominant Mercedes team.
      The German won five world championships with Ferrari and two for Benetton.
      Schumacher retired in 2012, but just a year later he was involved in the life-changing skiing accident while on the slopes with Mick.
      He was left in a medically induced coma before being released home and then ever since it has been near silence on the driver’s condition.
      He has not been seen in public ever since.
      His family, led by wife Corinna, closely protect Michael’s privacy and offer him a quiet life.

      Michael, one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, continues his recovery after his horror ski crash in 2013.
      He raced from 1991 to 2006, and again from 2010 to 2012 – a second act of his career which saw him become instrumental in setting up the dominant Mercedes team.
      The German won five world championships with Ferrari and two for Benetton.
      Schumacher retired in 2012, but just a year later he was involved in the life-changing skiing accident while on the slopes with Mick.
      He was left in a medically induced coma before being released home and then ever since it has been near silence on the driver’s condition.
      He has not been seen in public ever since.
      His family, led by wife Corinna, closely protect Michael’s privacy and offer him a quiet life.
