Paul Gascoigne seen in TNT Sports trailer for new Premier League season filmed just weeks before hospital dash
ENGLAND icon Paul Gascoigne has made a surprise cameo in TNT Sports' latest trailer - filmed just weeks before his shock hospital dash. The star-studded advert - filmed mid-June - is believed to be his last public appearance before he was dramatically rushed to hospital last week. 7 7 7 7 The former Spurs, Lazio and Rangers player, 58, appears alongside footballing royalty in the 60-second clip. Titled 'This is not normal', the trailer also features Chelsea starboy Cole Palmer and Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. Gascoigne is regarded as one of the greatest playmakers of his generation, with a stellar club and international career - and he plays an equally crucial role in the broadcaster's advert. Gazza - renowned for his crazy antics both on and off the field - is seen sitting on a sofa next to an eager Paris Saint-Germain fan. He hilariously calms down the over-excited fan, who is shown celebrating the French club's recent Champions League triumph throughout the night. Keeping an uncharacteristically straight face, Gazza jokes: "That's not normal, mate". TNT Sports often have an ad filled with football legends ahead of the season - with former Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale appearing once again in the commercial. It comes as the footballing great was rushed to hospital last week after he was discovered collapsed by a pal at his home in Poole, Dorset on Friday evening. Gazza was admitted to an intensive care ward but has now been moved to an acute medical unit where his condition was described as stable. He remains in a hospital near his home, and is expected to stay there for several days for treatment. His friend Steve Foster passed on a message for the Spurs legend and said he was in the "best possible place" as he continues his recovery. Steve said Gazza would 'like to thank everyone for the support he's received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best'. England legend Paul Gascoigne rushed to intensive care unit after he was found collapsed at home by pal He added: "Paul is in hospital, which is the best possible place for him to be right now.' Last night, Steve said: 'Paul is stable now but is still very poorly." He has been posing for selfies with fans while he was recovering. His pal added: "It shows how popular and loved he still is by fans everywhere. 'I can't walk down the street with him without him being stopped - it's crazy.' The sad star's plight horrified pal Steve, who found him semi-conscious at 1.30pm on Friday in the bedroom of his home in Poole, Dorset. Gazza was said to have been 'upset' by a disagreement with a business associate and the shutdown of his company, which he launched to run his public appearance business. The much-loved icon's family and football pals rallied round to support him as word spread of the medical emergency - said to be the worst he has faced. His reality star daughter Bianca, his two sisters and ex footballer pals Peter Beardsley, Paul Merson and Vinnie Jones were being kept informed of his condition. Soccer hero Paul - capped 57 times and a scorer of ten goals for the Three Lions between 1988 and 1998 - is expected to remain in hospital 'for some time.' Steve told how Gazza has recently taken to spontaneous acts of kindness to cheer himself up. Days before his collapse, he suddenly decided to help out homeless people he spotted while out walking in Bournemouth near his seaside home. Steve said: 'He suddenly went to a cash machine, drew out £500 and started handing out money to all the homeless people he could find. 'He said there were a lot of people worse off than him and wanted to help them out. He was given away anything between £20 and £50 at a time saying: 'Get yourself a meal.' 'That's the kind of bloke Paul is and why so many people who know him hope he can get well.' Another source close to Gazza told the Sun: 'What happened over the weekend was incredibly serious. 7 7 'Thank God Steve found him when he did, because he urgently needed help and intervention at that point. 'There's concern among Paul's friends and family that he won't be well enough to live on his own for a long time - he will certainly need someone at his side for the next few weeks. 'He's going to need a lot of help and support to get over this." The source added: 'Paul still spends a lot of time out and on the road attending events and meeting fans at boozy dinners and awards nights. 'It's a rollercoaster lifestyle with lots of temptation there. But over the last few months Paul's been doing OK and managing to keep his demons at bay. 'He's got a lot of support and goodwill and unlike in the past, where people were always buying him drinks and egging him on, that simply doesn't happen now. 'The whole world knows that Paul can't be drinking. All his pals are praying he can pull through this." Gascoigne has been represented for years by booking agent Katie Davies but she has now stepped back from regular involvement in his day-to-day life. Businessman Mr Foster - who runs a football memorabilia site with links to soccer heroes - now manages Gazza's public speaking dates and drives him to venues. The personal assistant - who visited the soccer great at Poole Hospital today - told the Sun: 'He's been sleeping a lot of the time but is making progress and has managed to eat something. 'He read The Sun's report and has been given a boost by all the messages of support. 'No date has been set for his hospital discharge yet - he's just taking one day at a time and focusing on getting well.'

I've made £5.6k on Vinted & here are the 7 items you need to upload NOW – a particular skirt sells instantly for a start
A SAVVY Vinted seller has revealed the seven items and brands that are selling well on the second-hand platform. Chloe Chandler, 25, a side hustler from the UK, has made over £5,600 on Vinted thanks to her very simple tips. 6 6 6 6 So if you've got a wardrobe full of clothes and shoes you never wear, you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. The fashion fan who has cashed in £5,641.07 through the marketplace app, confirmed that not only are white maxi skirts selling instantly at the moment, but there's an old brand that is sure to fill your wallet. The content creator and Vinted enthusiast, who buys and sells on the app 'every single day,' took to social media to share her top tips and tricks, leaving many totally stunned. The blonde-haired beauty, who is a top Vinted seller with over 500 five star reviews, said: 'These are the brands and the items that are selling really well on Vinted at the moment. 'I add things to my favourites and then wait and see what sells - and all of these have sold and are doing really well as listings on Vinted at the moment. 'So whether you are selling your old bits and bobs or you are a reseller, these are the things that you should be listing.' Maxi skirts First things first, Chloe stressed that maxi skirts in any colour are selling 'so well on Vinted at the moment.' In particular, she recognised that white tiered maxi skirts will move fast, as she beamed: 'I buy maxi skirts all the time, but specifically the tiered ones that are becoming more popular. 'Specifically ones that are vintage - so if you have one with an old label in or it's Jane Norman or any sort of quirky brands, they are selling so fast. 'Every single maxi skirt that I add to my favourites is sold in 30 minutes. It's insane. I'm a Vinted whizz who's made £5k in less than a year - the top 5 items currently selling & how to boost low views 'So if you have an old maxi skirt or if you are wanting to make a profit, maxi skirts are really really good at the moment.' Jane Norman Secondly, Chloe revealed that Jane Norman is one brand that is popular on the app at the moment. She continued: 'This brand was really popular back in the early 2000s, but it's slowly coming back into fashion and it is doing so well on Vinted. 'Just make sure you price your items correctly, do your research. 'I've seen some people uploading stuff that is Jane Norman, thinking that it's not worth anything for about £2 and then it gets sold and relisted for £20 plus. 'It's a very, very popular brand at the moment.' Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted? QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it. Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017. More information here: Jellycats If you're in need of some cash and your little one has shelves full of Jellycats, you may want to think about selling some, as Chloe recognised: 'These always do well on Vinted. 'Just make sure that if you are clearing out your children's toys, you are checking the tags - even if it's books, some books are by Jellycat, so have a look at the labels. 'Make sure that you aren't giving anything away or selling something at a car boot sale that is actually worth quite a lot. 'Jellycats are increasing in popularity, so these do so well on Vinted.' She also advised: 'Just make sure that they are genuine - there are a lot of fakes. Google how to tell if they're real.' Trainers As well as this, Chloe urged sellers to upload their trainers to the marketplace app, as she explained: 'Trainers always do well on Vinted. 'If you have a pair of old New Balance or Nikes, specifically vintage, early 90s sort of shoes, they do really well. 'Some of the newer designs do quite well on Vinted too, so if you have some trainers, don't just think that they're not worth anything and sell them for 50p at a car boot. 'You need to actually do your research and make sure that you price them accordingly on Vinted. 'People buy and sell them all the time. So if you are looking to sell for profit, check out car boot sales and have a look and just see what trainers people are selling.' Sheer tops But that's not all, as according to this Vinted user, mesh, embellished and sequin sheer tops do 'so well on Vinted.' 'It's specifically the brands, you know, Lipsy, Miss Selfridge, old New Look - those sorts of brands are doing really well. 'Make sure you do your research - don't just sell it for £2,' she voiced. Crochet items Similarly, if you've got crochet items you haven't worn in years, you'll need to get uploading them quick. Chloe claimed that 'anything crochet,' including bags and ponchos, will sell fast. Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted: It's the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted. There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many. And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag. From personal experience, I've bought 'cheap' bundles of children's clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen. Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn't feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids' stuff. I've also bought more premium high-street items - a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos - only to find they didn't fit properly and the colours were faded. I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail. A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I'm not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn't want to miss out. Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items - a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 - makes me feel a bit queasy. Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that's done once or twice a year as a necessity. But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me. She acknowledged: 'People wear a lot of crochet items just as a little cover up for holiday and festivals and things. 'I'll add some ponchos to my favourites and they sell so quickly. 'Specifically ones from Per Una, old Marks & Spencer, those sorts of brands." Silk items from Monsoon Finally, Chloe revealed that anything silk from Monsoon is sure to make you cash fast. She concluded: 'Anything that is Monsoon that is silk - I have sold so much of this. 'I think I've sold about five silk Monsoon items within the last month, it does really, really well - specifically little cami tops and dresses. 'Make sure you check your labels, because nine times out of 10 people don't realise that they are silk and then someone else gets a bargain, looks, sees that it's silk and then puts it on for double the price.' Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ chloe_chandlerx, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 101,500 views, 1,282 likes and 146 comments. Social media users were thankful for Chloe's advice and raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Great advice, I have a few Jane Norman dresses to list.' Another added: 'Yep I put an asymmetrical maxi skirt out and it sold really quickly.' A third commented: 'I wish I'd kept all of my extremely noughties clothes now.' Meanwhile, a Vinted beginner beamed: 'New to Vinted. Loving everyone's tips, thank you.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club 6

Christina Aguilera, 44, shows off trim frame in an olive green dress as she poses at Burlesque: The Musical
Christina Aguilera showed off her slimmed down frame in a busty olive green dress as she attended Burlesque: The Musical photocall at The Savoy Theatre in London on Monday. The Genie In A Bottle hitmaker, 44, showed off her dramatic weight loss in the strapless number, which featured a corset bustier and a racy skirt split. The pop legend completed her head-turning outfit with black knee-high cowboy boots, matching a bold plum lipstick. The music favourite looked sensational striking a slew of poses outside theatre, where the star-studded event took place. The singer rubbed shoulders with fellow Burlesque co-star Steve Antin, and elsewhere beamed alongside American singer Orfeh. Following a sold-out run in Manchester, Burlesque The Musical is now playing at the Savoy Theatre for a strictly limited season until 6 September 2025. Christina swapped the spotlight for a seat in the stalls on Sunday 20 July, when she slipped into London's Savoy Theatre to watch a preview of Burlesque The Musical. The musical reimagines the 2010 screen hit that first turned her into an on-screen star. Christina previously displayed her thin appearance and sparked concern among fans who discussed rumours she might have undergone plastic surgery on her face to achieve her transformed appearance. Her frame has also sparked rumours among fans who wondered if she may have turned to Ozempic-like drugs to help her impressive weight loss. Despite the speculation among fans that she may have altered her appearance in some way, the Grammy-winning singer–songwriter has not addressed any of the rumours. She was previously rumoured to have had a breast augmentation after displaying a scar under her arm — which is a common place for the surgical incision — in 2010. Recently, Christina showed off her age-defying looks on the cover of the French magazine Carcy, which set rumours bubbling from fans who wondered if she had touched up her face. In October of last year, multiple plastic surgeons who had not treated the songstress spoke to about her seemingly transformed appearance, suggesting that she may have undergone a face lift to sculpt her cheekbones and smooth the natural lines between her nose and lips. Reality star Demi Jones turned heads in a leopard print mini dress Other cosmetic surgeons have shared similar opinions about her new appearance on social media. Although Christina has not directly responded to the claims, she recently said she no longer feels the need to 'give a f***' about the public scrutiny on her body. Following the speculation, she has since commented on the years-long 'obsession' over her weight in an interview with Glamour from August. 'When you're a teenager, you have a very different body than when you're in your 20s,' she said. 'I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, "Oh, she's getting thicker." Then I had industry people: "They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager."' However, as she has grown older, she revealed that she does not let comments about her weight affect her anymore. 'I have a maturity now where I just don't give a f*** about your opinion. I'm not going to take it on,' she stated.
