Inside England Lioness Chloe Kelly's marriage to husband Scott Moore
Chloe Kelly is the woman of the hour at the moment after securing the Lionesses' win at Euro 2025. The England women's football team triumphed over Spain in a nail-biting final that saw Kelly, 27, score the winning goal during penalties. It marks the first time an England team has won a major trophy on foreign soil. Among the proud loved ones celebrating the team's monumental achievement is Kelly's husband, Scott Moore, who shared a touching message on his Instagram page. 'Speechless once again,' he wrote, along with two silver heart emoji. 'I'm so grateful to have you by my side,' Chloe added when she shared the post to her own Instagram Stories. Kelly maintains a fairly private life, but it is thought that she began dating the Everton groundsman after they met when she was playing for the team. Opening up on how they met, Kelly told Vogue: 'One day I held the door for him, and ever since that day he kept saying he was going to message me. 'When he did slide into my DMs, I didn't see it for ages, because it was in my requests folder, and then when I did see it I was like, 'Who is this?' But when I saw a few people that I knew had followed him, I realised, I must know him!' They then went on an unlikely first date to IKEA, and the rest is history. 'We got a little monkey and every time I see it, it reminds me of when we went to IKEA,' she told The Sun. Moore proposed in 2023 during a trip to Finland, popping the question under the Northern Lights.

Here's to forever with you.' Speaking about the moment on the NearlyWeds Podcast, Kelly lightly ribbed Moore over what made her happier – the proposal, or her winning goal at the 2023 Euros. 'The wedding's not been yet, so I'm going to say the winning goal,' she teased. The couple tied the knot in 2024 after being together for five years in a picturesque ceremony at Merrydale Manor in Cheshire. She walked down the aisle in an incredible, intricate white lace dress with bridesmaid team-mates Ruby Mace and Steph Houghton. Their one-year wedding anniversary fell during the Euros, with Kelly admitting she hadn't had much time to celebrate among training and playing. 'I haven't even got a card, to be honest,' she said before the tournament began. 'I'm sure in the moment, I'll think of something and get my mum to sort it More Trending 'But no, we are just taking it each game as it comes, and we've got a huge game coming up, and we know that we need to be at our best for that, so not looking too far ahead. 'I'm sure Scott has, but I definitely haven't.' Moore has been supportive of Kelly's career, regularly attending her games as well as celebrating her achievements online. During their final Euro match, Kelly's shinpads bore an image of her and Moore kissing during their wedding, a touching tribute to their relationship. Got a story?

Lioness legend Millie Bright teaches teens football in new TikTok initiative
As more parents struggle to entertain their teens over the summer, TikTok has launched a new #SummerSkills programme, which features lessons from football star Millie Bright Lioness legend Millie Bright, OBE has become one of the biggest faces of TikTok's free #SummerSkills programme, which plans to teach teens everything from sport to literature to wellbeing without leaving the app. There's no need to be too surprised. While TikTok has a reputation for brainrot, it's actually fast-becoming one of the UK's biggest learning tools. According to TikTok research, 88% of British teens surveyed (aged 16-19) are turning to the app for educational content. They also found that 44% use TikTok to discover new interests and 40% say they're using TikTok to find how-to tutorials. This also comes at a time when trends such as #Booktok and #songwriting are on the rise. In fact, there are currently over 60.9 million hashtags under 'booktok', while 'songwriting' boasts over 572 thousand – proving that the app is becoming something of a creative hub. Plus, many parents don't know how to keep their kids occupied over the long summer months. TikTok's same research found that 87% of British parents feel stressed planning their teen's holidays and almost half say they don't know how to. So, to help fill the gap, TikTok's summer skills programme is running for the five weeks of UK summer holidays. It kicked off on July 23 with Sports Week, which features sports lessons from Chelsea FC Women's captain and England international Millie Bright, who is taking teens through the 'Do's and Don'ts of defending 1v1', as well as football self-care recovery. Millie Bright said: 'I'm delighted to have joined the TikTok #SummerSkills programme to inspire teens to learn new football skills over the Summer holidays. Anybody can learn a new skill as long as they are curious, so grab your friends and family, and challenge them to try something different – you might just surprise yourself.' Other weeks include STEM Week, which will be partially taught by a particle physicist at CERN, Literature Week, which will be hosted by poet Chloe Carter, Music Week and Well-being Week. Teens can simply access the content by typing in #SummerSkills or #LearnOnTikTok on TikTok, or hopping on a TikTok LIVE. They can also follow the account @TikTok_UK to discover new skills each week. TikTok has also said it is committed to encouraging healthy digital habits during the programme. This includes measures like all under-18 user accounts having a 60-minute time limit and the introduction of new tools like the in-app meditation feature, which encourages users to wind down after 10 pm. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! Dominic Burns, TikTok's Head of Operations, UK, Ireland and Nordics, said: "We know that TikTok is a place where teens come to discover and learn, particularly through our dedicated STEM feed and communities like #BookTok and #LearnonTikTok. 'We're thrilled to bring the TikTok #SummerSkills programme to parents and teens to help them learn new skills together during the holidays, from football tricks to songwriting, poetry to science experiments, TikTok creators will bring these skills to life each week throughout the summer.' He added that the initiative will complement TikTok's ongoing work to provide parents with tools and resources through the 'Family Pairing' feature 'to ensure teens have a positive experience on our platform." The Family Pairing feature came into effect in 2020 and is a tool that allows parents and guardians to link their TikTok account to their child's account – giving them access to control and privacy settings.

Sam Thompson ‘escorted out of club' by bouncer as date leaves with another man
Former Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson has recalled the moment he was 'stepped over' by an ex-girlfriend after falling over outside a nightclub when he was 'ushered out' by security Sam Thompson fell over and was 'escorted out of a nightclub' by a bouncer after drinking too much following a break-up. The former Made in Chelsea star says he had gone to the club with a girl in a bid to 'make his ex jealous' at the time. However Sam, 32, says he had too much to drink and found himself being ushered outside. His night though took a dramatic turn when he stumbled on his way out and found himself tumbling to the floor. On his Staying Relevant podcast with best pal Pete Wicks, Sam explained he then discovered his date for the night was 'hooking up' with someone else at the bar. To make matters worse for Sam, he says his former flame 'stepped over him' on her way out of the bar. Sam made the revelation after Pete saw a woman falling over in rush hour. Pete explained people were 'literally stepping over' the woman's belongings after she tripped when her heel got stuck. Sam said: 'I've actually been stepped over before. I've been stepped over by an ex-girlfriend, it was even worse. 'I'd just broken up with an ex-girlfriend and I was in a nightclub and I get p****d very easily and the bouncer ushered me out of the club and, I'd just broken up with this girl, and the girl I'd brought on a date to make her jealous in the nightclub, ended up hooking up with someone else. 'To drown my sorrows I got really p*****d, then got escorted out of the nightclub, they were going, You need to go home, you're too p****d'. Fell over in the little gutter right next to the entrance, she walked out with another guy, and stepped over me.' Sam went on to explain that his embarrassing moment happened 'years and years and years ago'. The former reality TV star is reportedly dating holistic nutritionist Steph Robinson. Earlier this year he had been linked to former Love Island star Samie Elishi, but the pair are said to have split a couple of weeks ago. According to the MailOnline, Sam has grown close to Steph, who boasts 170,000 followers on TikTok. Sam is said to have declared he is 'not ready' to start dating again after his split from Samie. In a previous podcast episode, he said: "I'm going to work on myself. No dating, I'm not ready and I've realised that." He said his sister Louise hopes he would date someone like Harry Potter star Emma Watson. He added: 'Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter." Pete joked: "I think you have more chance with the ginger fella." Sam then added: "Ron! No, Louise thinks I should go for British thespian because she thinks its a little different, classy is the wrong word, but well to do." Sam had been in a long-term relationship with former Love Island contestant Zara McDermott, but the pair split last year. Zara has since gone public with her new boyfriend, former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.
