      Some say it doesn’t fit in with the area – and that it appears as though it should be in Dubai – while others said it looks a decade older than it is.
      The Balmayna, which translates as enamelled from Arabic, stands tall in the Greater Manchester town.
      The glass-fronted building is said to show off greenery and floral designs inside, alongside a water feature inside.
      It’s said to boast “state-of-the-art lighting”, sound systems and palm trees.

      The site is described as “elegance seamlessly meeting excellence” – but those who live nearby aren’t so sure.
      One person said: “It’s like a building from Dubai.”
      While another added: “The design is about 10 years out of date.”
      However, others said celebrations were in order, saying: “Wow congratulations – finally it is open.”

      In a clip advertising the opening, Khan says: “It was my dad’s idea, he wanted to start the wedding hall.”
      A spokesperson for The Balmayna said: “With immense joy, the wait is nearly over.
      “We will soon unveil the grand opening of The Balmayna, Bolton’s newest wedding haven.
      “A splendid project between Excellency Midlands and Amir Khan, where elegance seamlessly meets excellence.”
      The Sun has approached Amir’s agent for further comment.
      Khan, who spends his time between Bolton and Dubai, is set to open the luxury venue in March.
      It’s said to be the “brainchild” of the boxer, who is married to and has three children with Pakistani-American YouTuber Faryal Makhdoom.
      The venue’s website says the site will be able to host “a wedding like no other in the UK” and promises it will exceed expectations.
      It reads: “This wedding venue is the brainchild of Amir Khan, the world champion boxer, ensuring a touch of magnificence and excellence in every celebration.”

      by

      According to Corriere della Sera, Schumacher could be going to his daughter’s wedding as it’s being held in one of the family homes set up with Michael’s specialist equipment.
      Gina-Maria Schumacher, 26, and her boyfriend, Iain Bethke, 27, are set to tie the knot later this summer in a huge celebration.
      The wedding is reportedly due to take place at a luxury £27million mansion owned by the Schumacher family over in Majorca, Spain.
      It is already used by Michael frequently after it was transformed to make his care and recovery easier after being purchased in 2017 from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

      Among the 15,000 square metre estate is two swimming pools, a helipad, a gym and a huge palm-tree-fringed garden.
      The ex F1 icon has been protected by his wife Carinna and close circle of friends ever since his tragic ski accident with almost no updates on his health being released.
      Despite the world eager to see what condition Schumacher is in after 10 years, the family have managed to prevent any photos of him being leaked.
      German magazine Bunte said this will continue even if he is at the wedding as the Schuey clan looks to keep his privacy intact.
      Most read in Motorsport
      The family are reportedly looking at hiring a large security team to keep photographers away from the event and prevent any photos of the 55-year-old coming out.
      The family are still yet to confirm if Michael will be at the wedding at all.
      Plans for the huge day have already started to be revealed after it was reported that a wedding planner from northern Germany has been hired.
      Their job is to put the “finishing touches” on the celebration and make it the best possible wedding despite the families tough circumstances with Michael’s health.
      Bunte says the couple will say “I do” under an arch of flowers at the family villa as a country music band is set to play in the evening at an open-air ceremony.
      With Spanish temperatures set to soar this year, male guests have reportedly been encouraged to not wear ties.
      As rumours around whether or not Michael will be in attendance increase, the other members on the guest list is also a hot topic.
      Since 2013, Corinna has been creating a private world around Michael as he continues his recovery – including forming a tight knit group of people allowed to see the great man and those who can’t.
      Schumacher has regular meetings with his former teammate Luca Badoer and manager Sabine Kehm – who is arguably the closest non-family member to Michael both before and after his accident.
      Ex-Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, 42, is regarded by the Schumacher family as “Michael’s younger brother” is allowed to see his old pal.
      The third member of the so called inner circle is Jean Todt who has been close to Michael for over 30 years.
      The pair reportedly watch F1 races together but Todt has admitted the F1 legend “is no longer the Michael we knew” before the accident.
      Michael’s son Mick was also recently allowed to bring his girlfriend, Laila Hasanovic, 23, into the home to see Michael for the first time.
      But there are also a list of names who are almost certainly not expected to be at the wedding.

      Corinna was forced to cut certain people out of the driver’s life for his sake as she feared information being leaked out.
      Some of these people include ex-teammate Rubens Barrichello, former manager Will Weber and ex-F1 team boss Eddie Jordan.

      Now Chloe, who has been locked in a feud with Lauryn for the best part of a year, has decided to ban her sibling from her big day next year for fear of any unwanted drama.
      A source said: “Chloe says she’s toxic – there will be loads of footballers and their wives there, some are friends with Annie so inviting Lauryn would be divisive to say the least.”
      We recently revealed how the pair had unfollowed each other on social media.
      Another insider said: “Lauryn and Chloe had bad fall out last year and unfollowed each other then.

      “They haven’t made up since and still haven’t reconnected on social media.”
      They added: “It’s really sad as they were so close.”
      To make things worse, Chloe’s footballer fiancé Grant Hall has also unfollowed Lauryn.
      Lauryn, whose first son Kairo is also fathered by Walker, used to be very close to Chloe and they would often post pictures together.
      Most read in Football
      But the latest baby scandal appears to have done serious damage to reconciliation hopes.
      Lauryn first had a brief relationship with Walker in 2019 when he was temporarily separated from Annie.
      Their son Kairo was born the following year.
      In November 2021, Kyle and Annie – who have three sons together – got married, before announcing their separation yesterday. 
      In March 2023, Lauryn revealed that she was expecting her second child – and kept tight-lipped about her daughter’s paternity, only revealing he “is a footballer”.
      Lauryn said previously: “I know there is speculation around little ones father and like I’ve stated publicly when the time is right.”
      The love rat defender is no longer living with Annie at their sprawling £2.5million property in Cheshire.
      In an online statement Annie said: “I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the intensity of the media spotlight.
      “Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together; I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.

      “I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and our three young children is respected during this difficult time.”

      Sources said confirmation he had fathered a second child with model Lauryn Goodman had “broken” her.
      She has privately vowed to divorce the England ace and has even hired Coleen Rooney’s victorious Wagatha Christie lawyer, Paul Lunt.
      But the ongoing scandal has also sparked a major family rift – with sources warning of more heartache to come.
      One told how Annie’s dad has not spoken to Kyle since April 2020 after he was unmasked as the father of Lauryn’s first child, Kairo, now three.
      MORE ON KYLE WALKER
      The pair agreed to bury the hatchet at Christmas and even celebrated together at the Walker family home.
      But 24 hours later Kyle’s secret second baby was revealed.
      The source said: “Annie’s dad hadn’t spoken to Kyle since Kairo was born three years ago.
      “He refused to have anything to do with him.
      Most read in Football
      “They had only just got back on speaking terms in the last few months and he agreed to join the family for Christmas in Prestbury.
      “It will almost certainly be the last time.
      “When Lauryn’s messages dropped on Boxing Day, Annie’s dad hit the roof.
      “He loves his daughter with all his heart and can’t bear to see her in such pain.

      “He’s now told her he will disown her if she takes him back this time.
      “They had previously encouraged her to give it a go, despite everything, but this is the final straw.”
      The source added: “Kyle’s mum and dad are sticking by him.
      “And Annie’s parents are desperate to stand by her.
      “There’s no way she will go back to him – their marriage is over.”
      Annie spoke movingly of her upbringing in a 2020 interview with the Sun on Sunday.

      It comes as…

      She fondly recalled: “I was brought up by a loving family with good, solid morals.
      “My mum and dad are obsessed with each other and I wanted the same with Kyle.
      “But without me there he struggled to resist the temptations.
      “Like a lot of men he wanted to have his cake and eat it.”
      The couple met as teenagers in their home city of Sheffield.
      But their troubles began after he made a £50million move from Tottenham to Manchester City in 2017.
      In 2019 it emerged he had romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley.
      Model Annie kicked him out but gave him another chance.
      He was moving his stuff back in when he had a brief fling with Lauryn and she fell pregnant. Kyle moved out of the family home and began renting a luxury £8,000-a-month apartment in nearby Hale, Cheshire.
      He pleaded with Annie to take him back but was then exposed for breaking Covid rules by hosting a £2,200 orgy with two hookers.
      Lauryn gave birth to Kairo in April then publicly unmasked Walker as his dad.
      Annie took him back again and he proposed with a £250,000  ring.The couple wed in December 2021 at Mottram Hall, Cheshire.
      It comes as the player romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley 4×4 and was caught having a Covid busting orgy with two hookers.
      Last March the City star was seen on CCTV exposing himself in a bar and snogging a woman.

      The happy couple were pictured smiling following the low-key ceremony in Senegal which was attended by close friends and family.
      The pair met through Mane’s agent who was friends with Aisha’s construction boss dad when she was 16, it has emerged.
      Aisha’s dad Amadou Tamba said the pair was introduced “more than two years ago” but clarified his daughter is now 18 years old amid conflicting reports she is 19 years old.
      The couple is thought to have kept their relationship secret before their wedding but Mr Tamba also said they never dated before getting married.
      READ MORE ON MANE
      He told local Univers Info: “My wife and Aisha visited their (Mane’s) family one day, and this is where he met her for the first time.
      “He probably saw something special in her and his parents appreciated her as well. They came to see me.
      “We discussed as per the tradition, agreed on everything and waited for this day to happen.
      “They were not dating because Aisha was still young.”
      Most read in Football
      The marriage was reportedly agreed when Aisha was still at school but both families decided to wait until she reached 18 – with Mane taking care of her bills.
      Mr Tamba, a constructor, added: “With the values and all that she heard about him, she accepted voluntarily. But as parents we also guided and advised her to freely make up her mind. God did what’s best for her.”
      And friends of the family said Aisha’s dad is good friends with Mane’s uncle, who acted as a go-between between the two families for a formal marriage proposal to be made.
      The couple were introduced after her constructor dad Madou Tamba met with Sadio’s agent Bacary Cisse for a project.
      The ex-Bayern Munich footballer has funded a number of charitable construction projects in his hometown Bambali, including a school, a health centre, a post office and most recently a small football stadium.
      He has also provided laptops for the school, a 4G network for the entire community and £60 (70 euros) a month for every family in his old neighbourhood.
      The pair, who are from the same area in Senegal are seen grinning in photos surrounded by friends and family during the ceremony in Dakar.
      Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
      Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
      Speaking to local media following the wedding, Sadio admitted he was overjoyed after receiving so many congratulations.
      “Honestly, I am happy [with] the fact the president has congratulated me just as much as, well, I would say not just my team-mates,” he said.
      “I think that all the people have congratulated me and wished me [luck] so I am happy and I hope that it’ll be okay.”
      Mane also made light of jokes surrounding his marriage to his 18-year-old bride as Senegal’s president Macky Sall received the national squad ahead of AFCON.
      “First of all, I would like to warmly congratulate our national Nianthi, Sadio Mane, who has just got married,” Sall said.
