Annie Kilner chats to pal Coleen Rooney as she leaves the gym after it was revealed her relationship with Kyle Walker is 'as bad as it's ever been'

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Coleen Rooney was spotted chatting to her pal Annie Kilner as she left the gym on Tuesday.
The WAGs bumped into each other and stopped for a catch up after it was revealed that Annie and Kyle Walker 's relationship is 'as bad as it's ever been'.
And amid the drama, Annie, 33, looked keen to hide as she covered herself with her hoodie.
She ran to her car and jumped inside ready to travel home, bumping into her fellow WAG Coleen who came over to the car for a chat after a trip to the gym.
Coleen sported a casual ensemble after her gym session as she left wearing black leggings, trainers and a khaki parka jacket.

Meanwhile Annie shielded her face with a white zip-up hooded sweater which she paired with a black vest, black leggings, ankle socks and trainers.
Earlier this year, Annie's fellow WAGS, including Coleen, rallied around her as she attended a Julie Perry Events International Women's Day celebration.
It came days after footballer Kyle, 34, was pictured on a night out with two women, just after he and Annie enjoyed a family day out with their children in Milan.
And amid the drama, Annie put on a brave face as she arrived at the Lowry Hotel for the event, which celebrates Manchester's most inspiring and entrepreneurial women.
It was previously claimed Coleen was 'supporting' Annie amid her romance woes with Kyle.
Annie was also said to have hired a lawyer who helped Coleen during her Wagatha Christie High Court battle with Rebekah Vardy.
It comes after it as revealed on Saturday that Annie and Kyle's relationship is 'as bad as it's ever been', as the England international ponders his next move following an unsuccessful spell at AC Milan.
The full-back is back in the UK and according to pals is 'barely speaking' with Annie, who is still unable to forgive him and move on from the footballer's affairs with Lauryn Goodman, 34, the mother of two of his six children.
Kyle hoped his stint in Italy with the seven-time Champions League winners would trigger a fresh start for himself and Annie.
Being away from the 'noise' of his sex scandal was a major reason behind his hasty departure from Manchester City in January.
But the Rossoneri have declined the opportunity to sign Kyle for an extra year, meaning he will now have to find another club with City boss Pep Guardiola indicating the defender has no future at the Etihad, despite having one year left on his contract.
And insiders have told MailOnline his inner circle view his stint in Milan as a 'wasted opportunity', not only for his football career but getting his marriage back on track with Annie.
A friend said: 'Kyle really enjoyed his time with Milan, especially off the pitch.
The full-back, 34, is back in the UK and according to pals is 'barely speaking' with Annie, 33, who is still unable to forgive him and move on from the footballer's affairs with Lauryn Goodman, 34 (pictured), the mother of two of his six children
'Having played under Guardiola for so long, which is exhausting having to meet his lofty standards, he felt the shackles were off when he joined Milan and made the most of his new lifestyle, perhaps eating and drinking what he wouldn't ordinarily consume, as well as socialising more.
'That impacted him on the pitch which is why he didn't perform to the levels he's become accustomed to over the years.
'That disappointed his parents who flew over to watch him for the last game of the season and he didn't even make the bench.

Rockfield Studios: Growing up with Freddie Mercury next door

A woman who grew up at a recording studio used by some of the UK's biggest bands says it was "just normal" for Freddie Mercury to be in the next Murray from Blakeney, Gloucestershire, moved to Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire aged six after her mum, a Cordon Bleu chef, got a job there after being praised by the band Black Murray's memoir, "My Family and Other Rock Stars", details how her mother, Joan, cooked for the likes of Queen and David Bowie."I was an only child so she would be cooking in the kitchen until the early hours and cleaning up and I was left to my own devices, so I did wander into the studios and annoy musicians at an early age," Ms Murray said. Ms Murray previously lived in a house in Herefordshire, where her mum advertised rehearsal space to likes of Black Sabbath and Queen recorded there before moving onto Rockfield, where they would reminisce about Joan's food, leading to her being hired as the in-house "Bohemian Rhapsody", Coldplay's "Yellow", and Oasis' "Wonderwall" are among the songs recorded at Rockfield over the years."Mum and I lived with the bands on the Quadrangle," Ms Murray told BBC Radio Gloucestershire."We lived in the chalet, so you could have Freddie [Mercury] next door." She said there were other children who lived at the studios, so "it was just normal" in the local area, but, later in life, some jaws still drop when she divulges the tastes and palettes of some of Britain's most legendary artists."Mum said Freddie had quite a sophisticated palette, but not too rich," she said."The main she loved doing was Fanny Craddock's crêpes suzette. "She'd go into the dining room and set it all on fire in front of Queen and they'd all clap." While many would have bowed down to some of the stars that spent time at Rockfield, Joan ruled the roost as "queen of the kitchen", Ms Murray said."She was the matron and they were the boys of the school," Ms Murray said."Trying to control Motörhead was very interesting. I think she gave up on that one - particularly when my future stepfather, Fritz, was producing them and invited all these Hell's Angels down to record motorbike exhausts for a certain track." Although Ms Murray's experiences inspired her memoir, which is peppered with her mother's Rockfield recipes, she also believes her mother was the muse for one particular hit song written by Freddie Mercury, with clues in the lyrics."Killer Queen, I think, is written about my mother," she said."There are all the other theories but... 'Talked just like a baroness', 'the pretty cabinet' - she always drank Moët & Chandon. I think it is [about] my mother."She's still the woman she was then, even though she's 82 now."

'I can't wait to see my sport in the LA Games'

Athletes from across the West of England have spoken of their excitement about new sports and disciplines added to the Olympic Games, due to take place in Los Angeles, in organisers announced last year that five new sports had been approved for inclusion in the games including cricket, squash, lacrosse, baseball and flag local players also spoke of their aspirations of making the Team GB squad. Cricket Cricket is due to be played at the LA Games in 2028 for the first time since 1900, when GB won gold in England and Wales Cricket Board and Cricket Scotland have been in discussions in recent weeks to form a new entity called GB Cricket to oversee a team for person who will be keeping an eye on that is 15-year-old seam bowler, Iris Edwards, from Stapleton, in Bristol. This year, she made her T20 international debut for Germany's senior side, thanks to her dual citizenship."People often think that cricket is a very boring sport and for older people", she told the BBC's Extra Time programme."If they watch it during the Olympics then they can see that it's very interesting and it's actually quite fun to play." "We live really close to the ground", she said, referring to Stapleton Cricket Club."I started playing for a mixed team when I was 11 and I was the only girl."Miss Edwards currently plays for her home club and the North Bristol Girls Hub Cricket - a club for girls who play for clubs that do not have female-only teams, to practice playing against other also plays for the Gloucestershire County Development Squad and has also been picked to play for Germany."My dad found out there was a German under-15's squad", she said."One of the German coaches is based in Cardiff and they let me go do a couple of training sessions there," she explained. "I went to trials in Germany in January and I got picked for the squad. I was very nervous, I didn't know anyone there."Now that the T20 format is in the Olympics, Miss Edwards could be one of the athletes of the future. Compound archery In addition to new sports, existing ones have also seen new disciplines added to the Olympics, like compound who could not be more thrilled about it is world number one compound archer, Ella Gibson, from Gibson, and her team mate Ajay Scott, became Archery World Cup stage 2 mixed team champions in Shanghai, as it was confirmed the discipline would be included in the Los Angeles line-up."Both of us were so happy and I spoke to my coach and there were some tears, it was just amazing news", she said. "Compound archery is actually used for hunting in the US.""It's more compact than the archery you already see in the Olympics. It's more powerful and faster, and the dynamics of the bow and how it works is quite different.""The draw cycle, when you start pulling back the bow, starts at 60 lbs, so it's quite heavy. Archery definitely gives you stronger shoulders, for sure."Miss Gibson, 24, has held onto the world champion title for nearly three years and is hopeful of making it the Olympic Games. She and her partner Ajay will be able to earn a place either through world ranking or tournaments."The standard would be to pick the world championship's top three in 2027. So if we win a medal in mixed team that year, we're going.""Los Angeles is definitely on my mind", she added. Squash Squash players will compete for the very first time in the new sports, comes new venues that need to be built or example, Venice Beach - known for its iconic boardwalk - is hosting athletics, road cycling and triathlon. As for squash, it will take place on the Universal Studios Lake from Cheltenham - who now lives in the US - is a professional squash player thrilled at the thought of seeing his sport in the Olympic Games."It will be the pinnacle of our sport", he said. Mr Lake currently plays squash for University Club of Chicago. Last year, he ranked 22 in the PSA World Squash Rankings. In March this year, he placed 42."This is my 14th season as a professional player. I've been playing squash for 23 years.""Squash has got a pretty strong place in clubs across the US, especially in cities like Philadelphia, New York, Boston and DC. And it's still growing.""As a professional player, I can play two thirds of my tournament schedule in North America if I want, which is fantastic."But at the age of 32, he doesn't hold strong hopes of making it to the LA Games."The reality is I'll be 35 by then and Team GB is so strong. I'm slightly becoming an older man which means my chances are quite low.""I'm extremely lucky that I've made a living playing a sport that I love. It's not something I negatively look at, I'm just excited for the sport." Flag football Another West Country local looking ahead to the Olympics now that his sport has been added to the line-up is Bristol Barracuda's coach and vice-president, Archie Wills-Johnson, who lives in Bristol and is originally from Cheltenham, discovered flag football - a form of non-contact American football - after suffering a serious spinal injury during a the time he was linebacker for the University of Bristol's American football team."As I was injured I was able to play the game when I couldn't play contact sports and I would imagine that's similar to a lot of other people out there," he said. In flag football, instead of tackling, defenders must pull a 'flag' from the waist of the attacking player with the sport has around 20 million players worldwide and a record number of nations took part in last year's flag football world championships, according to the NFL."It's more accessible and inclusive", said the 22-year-old."You can have mixed teams and it's growing quite rapidly."Asked if he had Olympic aspirations, Mr Wills-Johnson, who continues to balance his studies with the sport, said he is focused on coaching for now."Unfortunately I am retired at the moment, so I have been coaching mostly. But I am going to slow that down once I graduate", he said."It's been a realisation of what's best for me isn't necessarily running around sports, and I've actually taken up swimming more recently. My neck is getting better but there are some good and bad days."Speaking of Britain's chances in flag football, he seemed confident there's enough talent to form a GB team."We have more funding coming into the sport from Sport England and Sport UK", he added. "The bump could take both the men's, women's and junior teams to the European Championships next year.""And the women's team is our best team at the moment, they rank 5th in the world, which would likely qualify them to go for the Olympics. They are well and truly in the hunt for doing big things in three years' time."

'I found gyms terrifying - now I'm a record holder'

Visiting new gyms was once a prospect Ella Brincat-Smith found "terrifying".The 19-year-old, who is autistic and also has ADHD, explained she "doesn't do new places", but decided to take up powerlifting to spend more time with her said she found a powerful community within the sport and she has progressed to such an extent she recently set a new British junior record after bench pressing 132.5kg (292lbs)."Through this sport I have met so many people and done things I never thought I would be able to do," said Ella. Ella, from Newark, Nottinghamshire, said she struggled with traditional sports but took up weightlifting five years ago because her father competed and coached."I have autism and ADHD so I don't do new places and I was really scared," she said."You need to go to new gyms and for me that was absolutely terrifying, but I feel like that through this sport I have met so many people and done things I never thought I would be able to do.""It's nice to be good at something," she added."It makes me so happy. You can have a bad day but then be good at this and it is 'Yes, I have achieved something, I'm happy now'."There's a really great community. You can't do this sport alone, you have to do it with other people."You see other people achieve as well as them helping you and everyone gives something back and I love that."She now trains three times a week, which, along with working as a nurse, has been "a challenge". 'Really transformative' But her dedication has brought rewards. Ella she recently set a new British record in the junior 84+ category when she bench pressed 132.5 kg (292lbs). She also came second at the World Equipped Bench Press Championships in Norway. Ella added: "I want to win as a junior girl at the world's, that would be amazing, but also to inspire more people to get involved in the sport."We need more junior females lifting and I feel that people won't realise how much they will enjoy it until they do it."Some girls are scared to start lifting because they think 'oh no I don't want to get big and bulky'."But once you start it is so fun!"Her father, James Brincat-Smith, described her progress as "mind blowing" and said he believes she has the ability to set new Jenni Sherwood added: "The change happens when you become confident, when you become excited about something, when you know you are good at something and just want to share it."I think that has been a really, really transformative thing for her."The family are all targeting taking part in the world championships next year, in the junior and masters Youth Sports Trust, is a charity which has campaigned about access for those with Oliver MBE, YST CEO, said: "Every child is unique and therefore there is no one-size-fits-all approach to engage them, but we know that with the right understanding and support, sport has the potential to be a powerful force for good. "It can help autistic young people to develop social connections and skills, increase their self-confidence, and support their emotional wellbeing, with lifelong benefits."
