Tyson Fury heads off to business meeting still wearing Primark Soccer Aid suit after dropping F-bomb live on ITV
TYSON FURY was still wearing his Primark suit a day after Soccer Aid - as the boxing legend headed off to a business meeting. The former heavyweight world champion shared England managerial duties with Wayne Rooney against the star-studded World XI. 3 Irish retailer Primark have been partnered with Soccer Aid since 2021 and this year designed stylish grey suits for England and beige for World XI. And Fury, 36, loved the outfit so much he was still wearing it a day later posting on Instagram: "Off to a business meeting now. "I've got my England managerial suit on, get up! Might get the job, who knows?" Fury had fans in stitches when he accidentally swore twice live on ITV when geeing up his England squad. He roared: "Seventy-five thousand sell-out. Unicef a great cause. Let's not forget these Three Lions on the floor. "Let them know how good we are. We are England. We are f***ing Spartans." Alex Scott said: "We apologise for the swearing." Fury then swore AGAIN in the middle of the first half - prompting another apology from ITV - with Scott promising to "have a word with him afterwards". Fury watched on as England blew a 3-0 lead to lose 5-4 - with former Manchester United star-turned-City legend Carlos Tevez scoring FOUR. But the boxing great - who retired in January - said on his morning run: "We didn't get the result they wanted but everybody played well and played hard. Alex Scott and Dermot O'Leary forced to apologise as Tyson Fury swears live on ITV during Soccer Aid coverage "We raised a lot of money for a great cause. Very proud of everybody who took part and well done to everybody, especially Carlos Tevez, wow! "Banging in hat-tricks and stuff, he's still got it. Had a fantastic day, big shout out to all the organisers, Unicef and Soccer Aid." Amazingly, £15million was raised for the children's charity in what was the 14th annual game. 3

Once your bet has settled, your credits will be available shortly after and must be used within seven days. The most common horse racing bets One of the main reasons that horse racing betting is so popular with punters is the fact that there are so many different ways to approach each race. We've listed some of the most popular Royal Ascot bet types for you below. Singles, doubles, trebles A single refers to a conventional win bet and is the most straightforward bet type, as you are betting on a certain horse to win a race. For example, if you placed a £5 bet on Frankel to win the Queen Anne Stakes, he would need to win the race for you to collect, and you would receive £15. A double bet and a treble bet follow this pattern, except you are including two and three selections respectively, and every horse must win for the bet to be a winner. Each-way bets Each-way betting is hugely popular with punters and it is essentially two bets in one. You are placing one bet on a horse to win and one bet on the same horse to place, with the exact number of places depending on the type of race and the number of runners. The horse must win the race for the full bet to come in, but you will receive some money back if the horse finishes in the frame. For example, if you place £5 each-way on a horse in a 16-runner handicap at 10-1, your total bet will be £10 and you will get four places to play with. If your pick wins, you will get £70 back; if your horse places, half of your bet will be a winner, and your return will be £15. Forecasts A straight forecast involves picking the first two finishers of a certain race, in the exact order. This is very difficult to do, but the potential rewards can be huge. There is also a reverse forecast bet, where you are still picking out the first two horses, but they can finish in either order for the bet to be a winner. Accumulators An accumulator bet is much like a double or a treble and includes four or more selections. For an accumulator bet to be a winner, each selection must be a winner, unless you place an each-way accumulator. This is a popular option for festivals like Royal Ascot, where punters will likely have several selections they are really confident about - and the potential rewards can be massive if you're feeling lucky! There are several other bet types to consider at Royal Ascot, including placepots, jackpots, lucky 15 bets, a Yankee bet and a Heinz bet. 🏇 The feature races at Royal Ascot With no less than eight Group 1 races scheduled across the five days, there will be little time to draw breath during Royal Ascot. With that in mind, we've done some of the homework for you and honed in on one key race on each day below. Queen Anne Stakes The ultimate curtain-raiser for the week, this Group 1 contest regularly features some of the very best milers from around the world. This race isn't shy of an upset or two, twice being won by 33-1 outsiders since 2018, and this year's renewal looks an open one. The now-retired Charyn won on his way to becoming the undisputed king of the division last year, meaning the form of last month's Lockinge at Newbury looks key. Each of the first four there dominate the market here, a quartet that includes last year's 2000 Guineas one-two, Notable Speech and Rosallion. Prince of Wales's Stakes The feature on Wednesday, which often proves to be the best race of the week. With the 2024 hero Auguste Rodin now retired, this year's renewal is perhaps lacking the depth we've become accustomed to, meaning last year's Irish Derby hero Los Angeles is the one to beat. The four-year-old isn't the most stylish horse in training, but Aidan O'Brien's charge has warmed up for this with two victories at the Curragh and he'll be hoping to uphold the form of those victories with the re-opposing Anmaat and White Birch. Meanwhile, the Andrew Balding-trained See The Fire has been supplemented for this for a cool £70,000 after a demolition job at York last month and is a fascinating inclusion. Ascot Gold Cup The flagship event of the week and a real favourite of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who created history when becoming the first reigning monarch to win the race with Estimate in 2013. Run over two and a half miles, it is a gruelling examination of class and stamina. Aidan O'Brien has won two of the last three renewals of this with Kyprios, who unfortunately was retired in the build-up due to a recurrent injury. Stepping up in his place is the four-year-old Illinois, who won the Queen's Vase here last year and made a winning return at Chester last month. Several familiar names need considering here, including Kyprios' old foe Trawlerman, while the progressive French challenger Candelari is interesting. Coronation Stakes A hugely popular race on Friday's card, which sees the top fillies from the Classic generation lock horns. The form of the English, French and Irish versions of the 1000 Guineas generally tends to be key here, with last year's Newmarket runner-up Porta Fortuna striking in the race for Donnacha O'Brien. With the English Guineas winner Desert Flower opting to go for the Epsom Oaks and the Irish Guineas heroine Lake Victoria staying on her side of the Irish Sea, the French Guineas winner Zarigana is the one to beat. There are plenty of highly progressive fillies in opposition. However, including recent listed scorers Falakeyah and Kon Tiki, plus the twice-raced Chantilly Lace. Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes A race which has changed its name several times over the years, to reflect the historic reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II. This race is one of the contests across the week that is most likely to be raided by foreign challengers, perhaps most memorably by the Aussie super-mare Black Caviar in 2012, when the race was known as the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. With dual winner Khaadem missing the race this time around, the four-year-old pair Lazzat and Inisherin lead an open renewal. There are plenty of runners to consider, including Japanese challenger Satono Reve. Horses from Japan have been lighting up the world scene over the last few years and this Group 1-winning six-year-old is fascinating. 👉 How to bet on Royal Ascot If you aren't familiar with betting on horse racing, it can seem daunting at first, but it's a simple process.

Jack Grealish 'conned' into paying fan's bill as the Man City star soaks up the sun in Greece after being left out of Pep Guardiola's Club World Cup squad
Jack Grealish has gone viral on TikTok after seemingly being conned into paying a fan's bill while on holiday in Greece. The England international, 29, has opted to soak up the sun after being omitted from Pep Guardiola 's Manchester City squad for the Club World Cup. But while he may be topping up his tan, his bank account is now a little lighter after being tricked into forking out for a guest. A video posted on TikTok by Patric Persson shows the prankster being handed a bill which he then takes over to Grealish as the City winger relaxes by the pool. Persson then asks Grealish for his autograph and he is happy to oblige, but does not realise that he is actually signing for the bill. Grealish and Persson shake hands, before the latter returns to the bill to the waiter, having seemingly got Grealish to pay for whatever he ordered. It seems Grealish was unaware of the joke, but he may have been willing to pay for the bill himself anyway, having previously shown his generous side earlier this year. Mail Online revealed in March how Grealish stunned regulars in a Sunderland social club by paying £500 towards a drinks tab for everyone at the bar. Grealish was later seen stumbling out of a Newcastle nightclub, and has endured a difficult last few months that has seen him fall out of favour at City. He was an unused substitute in City's FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace, and then failed to make the squad for the final Premier League game of the season at Fulham. After sealing a Champions League spot without Grealish, Guardiola was asked about the winger's future but refused to give a direct answer. However, he did state that he wants a smaller squad next season, indicating that fringe players such as Grealish are likely to be moved on. City have already signed Rayan Ait-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Marcus Bettinelli this month, and are expected to start offloading players in the coming weeks. This could see Grealish head towards the exit door after four years at the Etihad, and Napoli could offer him an escape route. The Serie A champions are reportedly interested in signing a left winger this summer after losing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG in January, and have reportedly shown interest in bringing in either Grealish or Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho.
