    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.”

    “A lifelong Evertonian, he became a board member on October 23, 1989, and then on Boxing Day 1999 his True Blue Holdings consortium acquired the Club. Initially vice-chairman, he succeeded his close friend Sir Philip Carter as Chair in 2004.

    His family said: “Bill was driven by his passions and devoted his life to them; his deep love of theatre, film, music and his beloved Everton, and the families they created.
    “He impacted the lives of thousands, whether that be through the launching of careers or his unending loyalty, generosity and unfaltering friendship and support.
    “In a multi-award-winning career spanning six decades, Bill produced over 500 West End, Broadway, UK touring and international theatre productions, films and music albums. His impact on the arts industry has been profound.

    Holt has been at the helm of Accrington Stanley since 2015 as majority shareholder, but has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to let fans know his time is done.
    In a spectacularly bizarre rant he posted a series of tweets that explained the current state of the club and why he has decided to put it up for sale.
    He wrote: “So now Accrington Stanley is up for sale. I won’t let the club fail, but I’m done.”
    And fans were full of questions for the boss who wasn’t shy to let his opinions be heard on the social media platform.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    One supporter asked about about the reasons behind Accrington Stanley’s relegation to League Two last season after a five year stint in League One.
    And Holt was quick to blame both himself and long-serving manager John Coleman for failing to keep the side in English football’s third tier.
    He wrote: “They failed [the management]. In football getting relegated threatens a club.
    “Last season was about p*** poor decisions and management. Including my decisions.”

    Accrington finished second bottom of the pile last term earning 44 points from their 46 league games.
    Coleman and his assistant Jimmy Bell are unsure on their future at the club after Bell recently spoke to BBC Radio Lancashire stating that the pair want to remain at Wham Stadium next season despite their contracts expiring in the summer.
    While Holt openly criticised their decision to go to the media claiming they had ulterior motives.
    He said: “They went to BBC Lancashire Sport for one or both of these reasons. To use pressure from fans to coerce me into giving new or extended contracts. To flag out publicly they’re available to other clubs.”
    But ultimately Holt has decided that it’s him that will be leaving the club instead of the management duo, despite his public rant.
    He posted: “’I’m not replacing them. I’m replacing me.”

    Karim Benzema slammed by French politician for ‘spreading Hamas propaganda’ after blasting ‘unjust’ Israeli airstrikes

    KARIM Benzema has been accused of spreading “terrorist propaganda” by a French politician. The former France and Real Madrid forward, who now plays for Saudi Pro League club Al-lttihad, took to Twitter to express his anger about the war in the Middle East.

    Benzema wrote: “All our prayers for the habitants of Gaza, once again victims of these unjust bombings that spare neither women nor children.”
    But the 35-year-old, who is a devout Muslim from an Arab background, came under attack from French politicians on Tuesday night. 
    French MEP Nadine Morano was quick to criticise Benzema’s tweet, claiming that it exposed him as an enemy of Israel.
    Speaking to CNews, Morano said: “Just by writing that, he is an agent of Hamas propaganda because Hamas has a strategy to physically destroy Israel, but also to destroy Israel through international public opinion.”

    Morano is herself notorious in France for being a far-Right polemicist who regularly attacks Islam. 
    In 2016, former president Nicolas Sarkozy removed her from the party’s list for regional elections after she was openly Islamophobic on television.
    She told French TV: “France is a Judeo-Christian country of white race, which is attracting foreigners.
    “I want France to remain France. I don’t want France to become Muslim.”

    Benzema made the transfer to Saudi Arabia over the summer.
    When asked why, he said: “Because I’m Muslim and this is a Muslim country, and I have always wanted to live here.
    “It’s different, it’s different to Europe. I’ve already been to Saudi Arabia and I feel good about it. Most importantly, it’s a Muslim country, it’s beloved and it’s beautiful.”
    This comes as than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, the majority gunned down by Hamas militants who crossed from Gaza and attacked border communities.
    Around 3,000 people are thought to have been killed in Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip since the war erupted on October 7.
    500 are estimated to have been killed in an airstrike on a Gaza hospital yesterday.
    Ghassan Abu Sittah, a doctor with the medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said: “Hospitals are not a target. This bloodshed must stop. Enough is enough.”
    A spokesman for the Hamas-run health ministry said: “Hundreds of victims are still under the rubble. The hospital was housing hundreds of sick and wounded, and people forcibly displaced from their homes.”
    The Sun has contacted for Benzema for comment.

    Dillon Danis accuses Logan Paul of missing weight and ‘changing rules’ ahead of fight.. with Jake Paul ready to step in

    DILLON DANIS has accused Logan Paul of “missing weight” and “changing rules” ahead of their highly-anticipated showdown.The grudge match between the two stars is set to be the co-headline bout in Manchester on Saturday night along with KSI versus Tommy Fury.

    The YouTuber posted a clip of himself on the scales making weight at 11:41amCredit: Splash

    But after an explosive pre-fight press conference last night, MMA star Danis claimed it should be off as he tweeted: “Logan Paul just missed weight.”
    But Paul, 28, quickly hit back at those claims by Danis by showing a clip of himself on the scales that showed his weight at 194.3lbs in a social media post at 11:41am.
    The 30-year-old Danis then vented his fury by posting this lengthy statement: “The commission’s rules state that weigh-ins are between 10 and 11. If you miss the 11 o’clock deadline, you’ve missed weight.
    “I weighed in at 10:15, but Logan still hasn’t. The commission said that if he doesn’t arrive by the 11am deadline, the fight is off.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    “He missed the weight, but then called misfits and changed the rules to give himself an extra hour.
    “We should be on an even playing field, he shouldn’t get special treatment.”
    Danis then claimed: “He’s already got more juice than Tropicana. He missed the weight, plain and simple. They’re trying to handicap me as much as possible.”
    Danis then took to X, formerly known as Twitter, again to say: “He claims he made weight, but it doesn’t count. The rules are the rules.
    Most read in Boxing
    CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS
    “If he wants to be viewed as a genuine boxer, he needs to follow the 11 o’clock deadline.
    “Look at the time he posted. It’s not fair; I had to follow the rules, and he isn’t an exception.”
    Despite Danis’ statements, Sun Sport understands that there was no 11am deadline for this showdown.

    Meanwhile, Paul’s younger brother Jake, 26, had earlier tweeted to state that he would step in.
    The 7-1 boxer posted: “I will always have my brother’s back.
    “I chose not to respond to the puppet’s countless tweets as it would only amplify his harassment.
    “But make no mistake, if Logan needed me to step in, I would take great joy in knocking that maggot out. See you soon.”
    That was after his elder sibling revealed his swollen face after being attacked by Danis in a chaotic pre-fight press conference.

    An explosive brawl left YouTuber-turned WWE star Paul gushing with blood on Thursday.
    The pair had just finished trash-talking on stage when Paul, who has a 0-1-2 record, hurled a bottle of his Prime drink at Danis’ nether regions.
    Danis hit back by swiping a microphone at his rival’s head as security tried to separate them.
    Paul was left clutching his face after the sickening thud of the impact cut open his cheek, with Danis then posting a picture of blood on the floor at the venue and captioned it with: “Play with fire get burnt p***y.”
    Mams Taylor, KSI’s manager and co-owner of Misfits Boxing, was initially unable to provide an update on the American’s health status after the shock incident.
    However, Paul took to social media to seemingly reassure fans that the highly-anticipated bout was still on despite the damage he suffered.
    He firstly tweeted: “This Saturday we catching a predator.”
    The much-maligned star then shared a selfie on Instagram of himself wearing dark goggles above the huge swelling and cut on his left cheek that he captioned with: “Can’t see the haterz.”

    Despite his impressive exploits in WWE, Paul has not set foot inside the boxing ring since his 2021 clash with Floyd Mayweather.
    Meanwhile, Bellator MMA welterweight Danis has not fought in over four years.
