    Laura had taken to her page on X, formerly known as Twitter, following coverage of Premier League team Manchester United’s latest footballing clash.
    As part of her on-screen duties for TNT Sports, Laura interviewed the Old Trafford side’s boss Erik Ten Hag after his side’s 1-0 victory over Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League.
    Yet in a surprise turn of the events, the Red Devils’ gaffer grabbed the microphone and chatted to her instead.
    As Laura tried to wrap up the chat Laura attempted to shake his hand – yet found he turned around to her co-hosts Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand instead, leaving her hand flapping in the air.

    She remarked to the duo: “How weird was that? I didn’t know what to do with my hands with no microphone.”
    After the clip was posted to X, one troll remarked: “I’ll give you something to do with your hands,” presumably referring to a sexual act.
    Ex TalkRadio anchor Laura – who has long been subject to sexist comments – re-posted the sordid remark and swiped: “And will you provide the microscope too?”
    The remark is thought to be a catty reference to the size of the troll’s manhood, and left her fans in hysterics.

    Meanwhile, off-screen, Laura’s love life is blossoming.
    Love Island star Adam and Laura were first linked to each other back in September when The Sun revealed that they had enjoyed a string of dates.
    Recently, Adam spoke exclusively to The Sun on how he wooed Laura – even branding her “the one.”
    Geordie lad Adam has now revealed how he wooed Laura through a series of flirty social media exchanges, before wining and dining her on an “undercover date”.
    Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Adam said: “The first time we met – I’ll hold my hands up – I did DM her first and got a reply but then nothing ever happened.
    “Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read.
    “It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it? I’m from Newcastle and eventually we met up, and then went on a very undercover date, and obviously what comes out in the press, comes out in the press, but it’s not always the full story.”
    He then told us at The Best Heroes Awards: “I would never get in a relationship with someone at least at one point [unless] I thought they were The One.”

    Martin Brundle blasts FIA after Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification from US Grand Prix as he questions ‘grey area’

    EX-FORMULA ONE star Martin Brundle has questioned the FIA after Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified from the US Grand Prix.Hamilton and Leclerc broke their silence on social media with a one-word post following the decision to disqualify them after they were found to have run illegal floors during the race in Austin, Texas.

    The Mercedes and Ferrari drivers were two of four stars picked for random spot checks after the race.
    And they were disqualified due to their cars failing to hit the minimum thickness of the titanium skidblock, or planks, that are legally allowed to run along the centre of the floor on the car.
    In theory, it means they were able to run their cars closer to the ground and get better speed in the corners.
    However, with half of the selected cars failing to stay legal, it led Sky Sports presenter Brundle to question why the FIA did not then check the remaining 17 cars which finished the race.
    READ MORE IN F1
    In his post-race column for Sky Sports, he said: “At a bumpy track like Austin, and with only one practice session, setting a ride height for the duration of the event is quite a challenge with regard to performance, and driver and car tolerance, and of course plank-wear legality, especially with a full fuel tank.
    “If they simply raised the car to be cautious, they’d lose so much performance they may as well pack up and go home.

    “After the race four cars were checked, including [Max] Verstappen’s Red Bull and [Lando] Norris’ McLaren, and both Hamilton’s Mercedes and Leclerc’s Ferrari were found to have too much wear, for which the only remedy is disqualification, however minimal the indiscretion.
    “There can be no grey area on this.”

    He continued: “The next big question, however, is that if 50 per cent of the tested cars failed, then shouldn’t all the finishers have been checked? The answer must surely be yes.
    “It must be said that the FIA checks pre and post-race are beyond comprehensive.
    “The published list includes over 50 separate and detailed checks mostly on all classified finishers, and a few on randomly selected cars.”
    Leclerc was also unhappy with the decision, liking a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, which echoed Brundle’s thoughts.
    The post from F1 content creator Tom Bellingham said: “The fact only four cars get checked and half of them were illegal makes you wonder if anyone else would have failed this?
    “Surely it can’t just be the (bad) luck of the draw of getting checked.”
    The 26-year-old, who was celebrating his 100th race in F1 at Ferrari, later unliked the post.

    However, he and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc were sensationally disqualified from the race after being found to be running an illegal floor in a random spot check after the race.
    The skidblock, commonly known as the plank, is designed to protect the bottom of the car from scraping along the ground with the two cars failing to meet FIA regulations for the minimum thickness allowed.
    The part, which also provides the sparks seen on TV, has to be a certain thickness and the two cars did not meet the requirement.
    Following the race, the pair took to Instagram in a joint post, with a one-word caption accompanying an image of them looking miserable.

    The post, already liked by two million people, simply said: “Mood.”
    Following the race, 38-year-old Hamilton said: “It is of course disappointing to be disqualified post-race but that doesn’t take away from the progress we’ve made this weekend.”
    Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff added: “Set-up choices on a sprint weekend are always a challenge with just one hour of free practice – and even more so at a bumpy circuit like COTA and running a new package.
    “In the end, all of that doesn’t matter; others got it right where we got it wrong and there’s no wiggle room in the rules.

    Shot stopper Muslera spared Rosier the pain of smashing into the post during the Istanbul derby on Saturday.
    Besiktas’ Ante Rebic dropped the ball into Galatasaray’s penalty area with Muslera and Rosier racing to reach it.
    The ball bobbled off the pitch and during his slide to snatch the ball, Rosier could not stop himself and was heading straight for the goalpost.
    But Muslera came to the rescue as he rushed for the ball and, after it passed him, he pushed the French star away to prevent him from hitting sticks.

    Hulk and Iran divorced after 12 years of marriageCredit: Instagram / @interoperability
    Camila, 33, gave birth to the new couple’s first child together, a girl called Zaya, at a hospital in Miami in April last year.
    They continue to display their love for each other in social media posts, with model and influencer Camila recently reposting an old photo of her in a bikini kissing her husband and telling her Instagram fans: “So good to die from love! And keep on living.”
    Now it has emerged 54-year-old Iran, who accused her niece of “cutting her flesh like a knife” shortly after she announced she was pregnant with Hulk’s fourth child, has found love again with a 25-year-old engineer.
    Lucas Suassuna was pictured earlier this year on a jetski with Iran’s name on it.

    They were subsequently spotted together at a wedding in Lucas’ native city of Joao Pessoa in north eastern Brazil.
    Local press said they had been “cosying up” to each other.
    Earlier this month Iran took advantage of a Bank Holiday weekend to travel from Sao Paulo, where she lives with her three children, to visit the man being described in Brazil as “her first serious partner” since the end of her 12-year marriage to the footballer in 2019.
    She and Lucas posted photos of a boat trip they enjoyed to a picture-postcard spot off Joao Pessoa known as Red Sand Island.

    But Iran has now moved on with the 25-year-old … with the two enjoying Muay Thai classes togetherCredit: Instagram @iran_angelo
    They were careful to avoid publishing snaps of them together and Lucas has now privatised his social media after opening it up briefly.
    But local media have been left in no doubt about Iran’s new relationship.
    The couple are also understood to have spent time together on holiday in Europe.
    In the summer they were pictured laughing as they sat next to each other at a luxury restaurant in Sao Paulo where they got together with friends.
    Iran is said to have introduced Lucas to her three children by Hulk.
    Although they are still living in different cities they appear to be trying to meet up as often as family and work commitments allow.
    They have also exercised together with the same Muay Thai teacher Ronaldo Sanches, practicing in a communal area of the apartment block where Lucas lives.
    Hulk’s ex has claimed in the past she treated Camila like her own daughter and said after opening up on her heartbreak when she was ditched by the footballer that she felt like she was “burying her alive.”

    She raged: “I gave everything to this girl since she came into the world.
    “I sacrificed my dreams so many times to make her dreams come true.
    “And here I’m not just talking about material goods, because these are easy to give when you have money, but love, affection, attention, respect… everything.
    “She knew my weaknesses, insecurities, pain, fears and had my unconditional love.
    “She managed my life, and for me everything that she said was good, it was correct, it was ethical.
    “She was perfect in everything and I gave her the direction of my life. If I was wrong, my God, it was because I loved and trusted too much.”
    Iran accused Hulk and and her niece of “cutting her flesh like a knife” in October 2021 after they announced the pregnancy.
    She said on Instagram in a thinly-veiled message to the soccer star and Camila: “Lies and disloyalties are like knives.
    “They cut our flesh, make us bleed, dry up, die a little inside.
    “But for those that have God in their lives, this dying means rebirth.
    “I am reborn with each disappointment and each lie that is unmasked because Jesus made me strong.”
    Iran posted her message to her Instagram fans alongside a photo of a clock with the caption: “Only time has the skill to unmask appearances, reveal lies and show someone’s true character.”
    Hulk, real name Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, married the new woman in his life in September 2020 while the he was still playing for Chinese side Shanghai SIPG following his split from the mother of his two sons and daughter.
