Wayne had long been trying to bury the hatchet with his sibling BROTHERS IN ARMS Gary and Wayne Lineker confirm 17 year feud is over as they pose together at Tia's wedding GARY and Wayne Lineker have confirmed their 17 year feud is over as they posed together at Tia's wedding.

Tia shared the first glimpse of her lavish Mallorca wedding on Instagram on Wednesday - with her uncle clearly in attendance.

Wayne told The Sun in 2015: "In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life. "They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward.

Opening up on the brother's relationship in a recent interview with The Mail, Wayne said: "It's not so good to be honest, we don't really speak very often. I'll always be his number one fan." 8 Gary knocked back booze at his son Harry's Ibiza wedding Credit: Instagram 8 Wayne later got his turn, tilting his head back and catching the drink in his mouth Credit: Instagram 8 Wayne and Gary fell out in 2008 Advertisement

Great British Bake Off judges and hosts confirmed as trailer for new series drops
Great British Bake Off judges and hosts confirmed as trailer for new series drops There's good news for Great British Bake Off fans as Channel 4 has released a new trailer for the upcoming series. The popular show The Great British Bake Off is poised to return to screens imminently as summer draws to a close. The beloved Channel 4 culinary programme has remained a television favourite for years, signalling the start of autumn as millions of viewers settle in to observe both triumphant and disastrous baking attempts. The upcoming series is merely weeks from broadcast as audiences gear up to witness the success, and occasional downfall, of cakes, pastry, and loaves. To herald the approaching new series, Channel 4 has unveiled a sneak peek whilst confirming the presenters and judges, though one remains absent. Comic Joe Wilkinson assumes the role of narrator for the quirky trailer which seems to unfold in outer space, before baking components materialise. He guides viewers through an exploration of existence, featuring presenters Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond appearing as cartoon figures. Referencing the hosts, Joe remarked: "From it grew life, intelligent life, adorned in knitwear and leopard print." Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding are returning to the Channel 4 show (Image: Channel 4) Article continues below Drawing inspiration from the Big Bang, the trailer envisions a cosmos created not from particles and vapour, but from a magnificent eruption of flour, sugar, and baked delights. Ultimately, it reveals everything originated from the sparkling blue gaze of judge Paul Hollywood himself, reports the Mirror. Judge Prue Leith was absent from the promotional clip for the forthcoming series, though she was represented as a cartoon sun, which had glasses and bright coloured hair. Channel 4 has confirmed her participation as they stated: " As the ovens fire up and a new batch of bakers steps into the iconic tent to face Paul and Prue, audiences can expect all the classic ingredients - warmth, humour, creativity, and just the right amount of competition. "This autumn, let the universe of Bake Off pull you in once again. Because, as the trail says, once there was nothing, and then there was Bake Off." The Great British Bake Off's return has been confirmed (Image: Channel 4) A launch date remains unconfirmed for viewers, though it has been hinted as coming "soon". Prior to Prue's omission from the teaser, numerous supporters had questioned her continued involvement with the programme. She took over from Dame Mary Berry as a judge on the television favourite when it transferred to Channel 4 in 2017, and has remained alongside Paul ever since. The celebrated television chef has also gone on to present Prue Leith's Cotswolds Kitchen for ITV and last year featured on The Masked Singer. Nevertheless, she was absent from presenting responsibilities for Celebrity Great British Bake Off earlier this year, causing viewer anxiety. Many speculated whether she had departed the series, but Prue maintained this was not the situation. Great British Bake Off star Prue Leith addresses exit and why she didn't return for celeb series (Image: ITV) During a guest spot on ITV's Lorraine, she informed audiences that she only stepped back from the celebrity edition because she required a rest, clarifying: "I keep being asked if I'm leaving. "This is because I left the celebrity [version]. I stopped doing that last year because I just hadn't had a holiday in the summer for eight years. I've only given up Celebrity [Bake Off]." She stated: "I still do The Great American Bake Off, which we are filming at the moment, and I still do The Great British Bake Off, which I love, and is the mother of them all." Prue has no plans to leave the regular version of the show, adding: "It's the best job in telly. It's absolutely the best job in telly, I don't have to learn lines, I don't have to have script. I just walk on and eat cake." Article continues below The Great British Bake Off is set to ait later this autumn on Channel 4.
