Calvin Harris forced to take extreme measures at £3.6m Cotswolds mansion after bus passengers could see into bedrooms
CALVIN Harris has been forced to take extreme measures at his Cotswolds mansion as he and pregnant wife Vick Hope prepare to move in later this year. The Scottish music sensation, 41, bought his stunning home for £3.6million in 2019, but has now be forced to make some adjustments to it after bus passengers could see into his bedrooms. 4 4 4 Calvin has knocked down the Cotswolds mansion and has rebuilt it over five years, with it now nearing total completion. But he recently discovered that a bus route goes past his home, which allows people onboard the bus to see in. Because of this, the iconic DJ has had to take a drastic measure. Calvin has had to install one way glass to preserve his privacy and keep his family life out of the public eye. The reflective glass allows him to see out, but no-one to see in. The Daily Mail reports that the new glass was visible this week as scaffolding was removed from the newly-built abode. He has also reportedly bought two neighbouring homes, as per reports. Calvin and Radio 1 presenter Vick Hope are due to move into the newly-built and adapted home later this summer. Architect Ben Pentreath, a favourite of the royals, designed the property which will be completed this year. A source previously told the paper: "There's no expense spared and it's going to be amazing." Pregnant Vick Hope parties at BBC Radio One's Big Weekend after going on maternity leave The happy couple, who tied the knot on their Ibiza farm in 2023, will become parents later this year, it was recently revealed. And the couple's new home, which Calvin purchased in 2019, looks to be the ideal family home. At the end of May, Vick shared the news of her pregnancy live on Radio 1. On air, she told Jamie Laing: "I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave." Former Made In Chelsea star Jamie then told her: "You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum,." She replied: "Oh, thank you." Vick appeared to celebrate her baby shower a couple of weeks ago as she shared a picture playing a baby shower game - during a meal with friends. Calvin and Vick made their first official outing together at The Chelsea Flower Show in May 2022. After just five months together, a huge sparkler was spotted on Vick's finger. They then got married in September 2023 at Hulne Priory, Alnwick, Northumberland.

Why the Premier League has fined Man City £1m
Manchester City have been fined more than £1m by the Premier League for breaching the rules around delayed kick-offs and restarts nine times last season, England's top-flight league said on Thursday. The fine comes a year after City paid £2m to the league for breaching the same game-delay rules. The club accepted and apologised for the rule breaches, and confirmed they have reminded their players and staff of their responsibilities in complying with the rules. "Rules relating to kick-offs and re-starts help ensure the organisation of the competition is set at the highest possible professional standard and provides certainty to fans and participating clubs," the league said in a statement. "It also ensures the broadcast of every Premier League match is kept to schedule." Fines totalling £1m pounds were imposed relating to City's home games against Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, West Ham United and Newcastle United and their away fixtures against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Ipswich Town. The longest game delays were two minutes 22 seconds each for restarts v West Ham and Ipswich. City are awaiting the verdict of 115 unrelated charges of alleged breaches of the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. The charges cover a period starting from 2009 and continuing into the 2022-23 season. City have always denied any wrongdoing.
