Wembley launch investigation into Oasis scam as '200 ticketless fans snuck into gig'
Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher performed at Wembley Stadium in London for five dates in August and it's been claimed hundreds of ticketless fans snuck in Wembley Stadium have announced they are launching an investigation into claims fans snuck into the recent Oasis concerts without a ticket. It has been claimed around 200 ticketless fans were able to sneak into the venue via a disabled entrance as Liam and Noel Gallagher took to the stage at Wembley. A large group were reportedly able to use copies of the same ticket before gaining entry and being handed VIP wristbands to watch the group in their reunion tour. It has been alleged two unnamed women were behind the reported scam and approached fans via Facebook groups for buying and selling tickets to Oasis shows. It comes after Paul Weller reveals the unusual reason he refuses to watch Oasis concerts. It was claimed punters who were contacted via social media were told to pay a £10 deposit before being invited into a WhatsApp group, where fans were given a meeting point. A fan has claimed: "Two women came and met us. They drew a shape on our hands and then a ticket was put into the WhatsApp group which we were to use. One of the women told me they were in a hurry because they had 'ten groups of 20 people' to get into the stadium. "They told us all to go to entrance M and head to the disabled entrance," they told The Sun. It's been claimed their stamped hands were shown to a person on the door and they "scanned the copied tickets" before the fans were handed a golden circle wristband each and given "zero security searches" and "walked straight in" to the gig. Meanwhile, fans were supposed to transfer money into one of the women's Monzo accounts but many didn't do so, reports claim. A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium has said: "Entering Wembley stadium without a ticket is a serious offence and we are investigating these allegations. If they are substantiated, we will refer our evidence to the police." It comes after Oasis fan Lee Claydon tragically fell to his death after slipping on spilled beer at the sell-out gig in Wembley Stadium on Saturday night. Lee Claydon, 45, is believed to have fallen from the arena's upper tier just as the sell-out gig wrapped on Saturday night. The dad, from Bournemouth, was described as a "lifelong" fan of the Gallagher brothers and was at the gig alongside his brother Aaron, and his niece and nephew. Lee tragically died at the scene despite the best efforts of medics who desperately tried to save his life. After the news emerged, Oasis said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear of the death during their sell-out Wembley show this weekend. The band said in a statement: "We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved." A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: 'Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard. "We are regularly inspected by certifying authorities both on an event day and throughout the year, and we regularly review and test our plans to ensure adherence to the conditions set within the stadium's general safety certificate. "We work very closely and collaboratively with all relevant event delivery stakeholders - including event owners, local authorities, the Sports Ground Safety Authority and the police - to deliver events to high standards of safety, security and service for everyone attending or working in the venue."

Woman once Britain's 'youngest mum' who had baby aged 12 reveals she is expecting fifth child at 31 - after heartbreaking family tragedies
A woman described as the UK's youngest mother after having a baby with her brother when aged just 12 has announced she is pregnant again. Tressa Middleton, 31, from Bathgate in West Lothian, Scotland, revealed the happy news - following a series of tragic family setbacks. She has been mourning the death of her father Gary Middleton, aged 55, last October - having previously lost her 41-year-old mother Tracey to pneumonia in 2012. But friends have now been congratulating her as she announced her pregnancy on Facebook, along with her partner Darren Young. Ms Middleton previously hit the headlines in 2006 when it was revealed she was giving birth just after leaving primary school. Her first child was taken into social care, as the mother slipped into depression and struggled with addictions to alcohol and cigarettes. Years later, the dark truth behind her tale was uncovered when it was revealed that the father of her baby was her brother Jason, who had raped her and was sentenced in 2009 to four years behind bars. She told of her experiences in a book called Tressa: The 12 Year Old Mum: My True Story, published in 2015. Ms Middleton has since turned her life around with partner Darren Young, and the couple formerly announced in December 2021 they were expecting a daughter. Her Facebook profile now pays tribute to her children as well as her father, saying at the top, 'Love all 4 of my girls with all my heart. I will make them proud!' - and adding: 'RIP Dad, 3/9/69 - 28/10/24.' Ms Middleton has now updated followers by sharing a pregnancy ultrascound scan photo and saying: 'Well guys seems our family is just getting bigger. Definitely my last!' Responses included 'Congratulations beautiful girl', 'You deserve all the happiness in the world' and 'Congrats to you both missy'. Ms Middleton came to national attention in 2006 when it was revealed she was expecting a baby aged just 11. She had suffered a damaged childhood and her mother Tracey Tallons struggled with addiction and Tressa was forced to endure late night parties. Her older brother Jason sexually abused her from the age of seven and she fell pregnant by him when he, aged 16 at the time, drunkenly raped her four years later. Tressa told the Daily Mail 14 years ago: 'Sometimes he bribed me, blackmailed me, to do it. He'd say he was going to tell Mum. He'd give me things - joints, drink, cigarettes. Or he'd threaten me.' She kept the identity of the baby's father a secret and the pair were taken into care until - aged 14 - she broke down and told a social worker what had really happened. Jason, 19 at the time, was jailed for four years in 2009 after a police probe and DNA test proved Tressa was telling the truth. The attack, and Ms Middleton's later breakdown, led to her daughter being taken away from her and then adopted in 2008 - and she had no access, except for a twice-yearly letter. At her lowest point, in 2011, she developed a £400-a-day heroin habit - but she managed to get clean with the help of a counsellor and began to build a new life with Darren. She currently has four daughters aged 19, seven, three and one - with photos shared on her social media sites of the children including Arihanna born in October 2017.
