Roy Keane takes on fellow cruise passengers who were harassing female DJ
The Man Utd icon told how he was on holiday with wife Theresa when he almost ended up getting into a fight while on the ship Roy Keane 'lays down a marker' with rude passengers on family cruise Roy Keane has revealed how he had to step in and 'put down a marker after four cruise ship passages started hassling a female DJ. The Man Utd icon told how he was on holiday with wife Teresa when he almost ended up getting into a fight while on the ship. Kean told Stick To Football: "I've had a great summer. No tournaments, bit of a break. "I went on a cruise and really enjoyed that. "I did (get annoyed on) the first night. I put a marker down on the first night to a few people. News in 90 Seconds - August 15th "They weren't coming up to me but they were just being rude to other people. "They were just being rude to other people, rude to the woman playing the music and getting aggro with her and I stepped in. "Listen lads calm down, this is a nice boat remember. "But these lads, about four of them who were about the same age as me, maybe a bit older, they were being really rude to this woman DJ and manhandling her. "And I just went over to them and went, 'Lads just calm down,' so I sat down and four of them came across ready to… 'But no I didn't have them, it didn't kick off but it was pretty close." The panel including Gary Neville, Ian Wright, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott listened open-mouthed to the story When Neville asked how Theresa reacted Keane said: "She wasn't too bad with it. She said they were really rude." Neville then quoted his former United team-mate Keane's comment about "putting a marker down". "It didn't kick off, but it was pretty close. New season, same Roy.' "It's like a pre-season game, Charity Shield, studs down the back of somebody,' Keane joked. "They were still annoying the rest of the week but I kept my distance. "A few nights later I saw them having a few words with this other guy. "I went over to support him a little bit, but it wasn't as bad as I'm kind of making out." Keane has been spending some quality time with his family recently - including his grandkids – as he celebrated his 54th birthday. He recently shared a number of snaps of him playing with the youngsters and relaxing in the swimming pool on Instagram. And Keane will become a grandad again in a few months when his daughter Leah welcomes her baby. Leah and Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis - who got engaged in Italy last year - announced the news of their pregnancy on social media this week. Leah posted black and white photos of her positive tests, baby bump, and scans alongside Harwood-Bellis in their car. They also shared a video, captioned: 'Half of me, half of you.' The Manchester United legend already has three grandchildren and welcomed his latest in April with a nod at one of his classic punditry lines: 'My new grandson, big baby.'

Katie Price posts cryptic comment about ‘not judging' amid war of words with Peter Andre
Pete warned he more to say after his shock rant at Katie cat's right Katie Price posts cryptic comment about 'not judging' amid war of words with Peter Andre KATIE Price shared a cryptic post about 'not judging' after her online slanging match with ex-husband Peter Andre. Last night Pete, 52, furiously hit back at claims 47-year-old Katie made about their children Junior, 20, and Princess, 18. 3 Katie shared a cryptic post amid her slanging match with Pete Credit: WireImage 3 She shared a snap of one of her many Sphynx cats and said 'they don't judge' Credit: Snapchat/Backgrid Advertisement 3 Last night Pete made a rare public comment about his ex-wife Credit: Instagram The former glamour model wasted no time in responding to Pete's words and now she's made her feelings clear. Katie shared a snap of one of her many Sphynx cats and added: 'They don't judge.' It comes after Pete made a rare public comment on his ex-wife after she said during the latest episode of her podcast: 'This is another thing I need to clear up, the kids have never lived just with Pete, we've shared the kids.' Advertisement But Pete fired back: 'For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating." He continued: "That ends today. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.

But Katie had a defiant response to her ex's post, with a representative for the former glamour model telling The Sun: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. Katie Price takes another savage swipe at ex Peter Andre and says Princess is 'scared to tell the truth' "This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands.

Sweaty knee-highs in summer is celebrity style crime we need to give the boot… they should only be worn in open field
Slipping into leather during a 30C heatwave is my idea of hell FAUX-PAS Sweaty knee-highs in summer is celebrity style crime we need to give the boot… they should only be worn in open field WHAT are the must-haves this summer on your holiday packing list? Cossie? Tick. Suncream? Tick. Boots?! 8 Dua Lipa teamed denim shorts with biker boots at a festival Credit: Mega 8 Knee high boots are back, even for summer, with Bella Hadid stepping out in a pair Credit: Getty Advertisement 8 Olivia Rodrigo paired a feminine pair of shorts with some clumpy boots Credit: GC Images For me, and most of us, there's not enough room in my 55x40x20cm cabin bag to cram in a pair of knee-highs. In a small footwear triumph, I don't mean Ugg boots. Thankfully that fugly trend seems to have been killed off for now. Advertisement What I am referring to is heavy, clompy, sweat-inducing leather boots. read more on fashion EAR THIS Shoppers race to Claire's for 'closing down' sales where earrings cost a PENNY An autumn perennial, knee-highs are a hit with celebrities and fashionistas. They're also on the pins of youngsters at various summer events and dance floors. While I'm all for getting the most wear out of clothes — because, let's face it, the majority of boots are pretty expensive — slipping into leather during a 30C-plus heatwave is my idea of hell. Advertisement So why am I seeing the style set stomp around in them everywhere? The trend is a result of 'concert core'. Cast your mind back to last year when Taylor Swift, was prancing around in a bejewelled bodysuit and boots on her Eras tour. Beyonce sends fans into a frenzy with surprise Destiny's Child reunion during final Cowboy Carter show And pint-size pop star Sabrina Carpenter donned Sixties-style PVC go-go boots during her Short n' Sweet shows. A key look Then earlier this year, Beyonce line-danced in chaps and thigh-high, tasseled cowboy boots during her Cowboy Carter tour. Advertisement All of these extravagant shows saw thousands of fans turn up in copycat footwear. According to PrettyLittleThing, online searches for western boots rose 85 per cent in in the run up to Beyonce's shows. So, the 'Beyonce effect' has cemented boots as a key look for summer. Meanwhile, the trend has been championed by the catwalk. Luxury brand Chloe, responsible for the boho revival, gave it a twist with biker boots and slouchy suede styles on its summer runway. Advertisement And supermodel Bella Hadid was spotted wearing brown boots in sunny London in May — but she is in her cowgirl era, thanks to dating real-life cowboy Adan Banuelos. A forgivable style crime for someone who lives and breathes that way of life, I suppose. 8 Kourtney Kardashian wore an oversized blue shirt with buckled boots while out and about with son Rocky Credit: BackGrid 8 Kate Hudson wore dalmatian-print cowboy boots with hot pants and a blouse to Coachella festival Credit: BackGrid 8 Alexa Chung paired black patent boots with what looks like a nighty and barn jacket Credit: instagram/alexachung Advertisement Even model Alexa Chung — known for vintage ballet flats and loafers — is getting in on the act, pairing black patent boots with what looks like a nighty and barn jacket. This mish-mash styling is popular among Gen-Z. TikTok fashion influencers also advocate for the 'wrong shoe theory,' which translates to wearing an unlikely shoe with your outfit. For instance, a delicate, lace white dress with Hells Angels biker boots. Think Olivia Rodrigo performing at Glastonbury this year. Advertisement Or an oversized blue shirt with clompy buckled boots, like Kourtney Kardashian out and about with her one-year-old son Rocky. I can get on board with the aesthetic, but can you imagine the horrid hot and sweaty congestion of your calf encased in a cheap high street pair, which are probably made from plastic? And just think of the blisters. Dua Lipa went for a similar buckled pair when attending a festival recently. For festivals, camping and fly-fishing, boots are the right call At £1,840, the Miu Miu boots are unattainable for most of us, but at least they looked practical for stomping through fields and complemented the singer's denim shorts. Advertisement Hollywood star Kate Hudson wore dalmatian-print cowboy boots with hot pants and a blouse to Coachella festival — and she didn't look out of place. Along with boots at festivals, my millennial brain can forgive those who wear ankle boots in the summer. It was a strong look from our glory days paired with a skinny jean or mini-skirt. But anything higher than the lower calf breaks me out in a sweat. I appreciate navigating what to wear in summer is never easy. Advertisement Is it going to rain? Will you be fainting in commuter heat? Will you need a puffer jacket for the Arctic air-con? 8 Taylor Swift rocked knee-boots on her Eras tour Credit: Getty 8 The 'Beyonce effect' has cemented boots as a key look for summer Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Advertisement But now we've thrown knee-high boots into the mix. If a rainy day is on the cards then winner-winner with your practical footwear. But if not, and the day turns out to be a scorcher, your feet will be squelching around in sweat while your legs chafe. For festivals, camping and fly-fishing, boots are the right call. If I get a whiff of the rising odour from someone's sticky sweat buckets it best be in an open field. Advertisement Anywhere else is unacceptable.
