Savvy Paris Fury shares cash-saver for families eating out this summer – despite raking in £200k a year without Tyson
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PARIS Fury has shared a little-known way parents can save cash this summer. So if your purse is feeling tighter than ever before but you're desperate to eat out with your kids, you'll be pleased to know that you've come to the right place. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Mum-of-seven Paris Fury has shared a simple way she saves cash during the school holidays Credit: Instagram 4 So if you want to eat out and not have to spend a fortune, you'll need to listen up to Paris' simple hack Credit: Instagram 4 Paris recently tied the knot to her husband Tyson for the third time Credit: Instagram @tysonfury 4 Despite a weekly paycheck of almost £4,000, she often shares ways to save cash online Credit: instagram/@parisfury1/ Despite her weekly paycheck of £3,800, this mum-of-seven is often on the hunt for ways to pocket pounds. The blonde beauty, who often does her food shopping in Asda, has taken to social media to reveal how she goes out for lunch with her little darlings without breaking the bank. Posting on her Instagram stories, the 35-year-old, who has a down to earth personality and is fiercely loyal, uploaded a sweet snap alongside her three daughters whilst at Yo Sushi. As Paris smiled alongside Venezuela, 15, Valencia, seven, and Athena, four, alongside the post, the influencer, who recently tied the knot for the third time to retired heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, 37, penned: 'Just for the parents on my gram - kids eat free here when you eat [sushi emoji].' The mother, who is said to have a secret wealth that is nothing to do with the Gypsy King's £100million fortune, then added: 'Good to know in school hols.' Parents looking to save cash when dining out are sure to be overjoyed to know that popular chain Yo Sushi on a mission to 'take the pressure off family weekday dinners and give the kids something to smile about this school holiday.' During the school holiday dates, kids can eat free all day in Yo Sushi restaurants when dining with a full-paying adult. While mums and dads can enjoy sushi and Japanese hot favourites, your little ones can tuck into one of their kiddo bento boxes absolutely free of charge. Foodies should know that there is a minimum spend of £10. Despite lucrative brand deals and Paris' secret private company, Paris Fury LTD, having recorded a yearly profit of almost £200,000, this isn't the first time this mother, who previously described herself as a 'DIY queen,' shared a relatable insight into her life. Inside mum-of-seven Paris Fury's glam bank holiday weekend away from the kids - from travelling in a private jet to night out partying with Tyson She may live in a 'golden' £1.7million Morecambe mansion and have a £90,000 designer stash with Chanel handbags in every shade, but much like her most recent Instagram post, it appears that Paris continues to be famous for her down-to-earth attitude and bargain hunting antics. As well as saving cash by ensuring her kids eat out for free, we've also seen the star do her clothes shopping in Primark. Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn". Not only this, but she's also proud to have an affordable high street edit with New Look and she's certainly not one to shy away from bargains in B&M. According to Paris, a down-to-earth attitude helps keep her children grounded - and she wants to set a humble example for them. She revealed on the family's Netflix series: 'None of my kids are really the type to say, 'I want this, I want that'. We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something Paris Fury 'Not to sound big-headed, but obviously, if I wanted to go tomorrow and shop out Selfridges' floor, I could do. 'But what am I gonna teach the kids doing that? 'To go and buy five designer handbags, 10 pairs of shoes, diamonds and pearls, what have the kids got to look forward to in life then? 'We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

Real reason why this year's Strictly line-up is so weak and could spell the END of show as ratings plummet
THE annual Strictly line-up unveiling usually means bookies pinpoint their favourite contenders, rank outsiders and some potential dark horses. But this year, in a move likely to rock BBC bosses, betting giants are offering odds on this being the show's final outing. 15 Dani Dyer, 29, reality star daughter of Danny Credit: Getty 15 Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, 36, Nitro on Gladiators Credit: Getty 15 Alex Kingston, 62, actress from ER and Doctor Who Credit: Getty Within an hour of the 15 celebrities being confirmed yesterday, Ladbrokes said there was an 8/1 chance the competition would NOT be back. It cited the 'underwhelming' line-up, and falling viewing figures for the bleak prediction. The final three names — former Lioness Karen Carney, Game of Thrones actor Kristian Nairn and showbiz reporter Ross King — clearly didn't impress. But other worrying trends in the line-up emerged too. For a second year running just six women have signed up, compared to nine men. Previously the split had been roughly 50/50 between the sexes. Negativity still lingers Last year the phenomenon was attributed to the Giovanni Pernice scandal, with some fearing it had put off women from joining. The Italian prof had been accused of bullying behaviour towards Amanda Abbington on the 2023 show. Amid that investigation it emerged fellow professional dancer Graziano di Prima had kicked his 2023 Strictly dance partner Zara McDermott, and he was fired last July. No doubt the Beeb hoped those dark clouds had dispersed, not least because blind comic Chris McCausland's 2024 triumph helped bathe the show in a positive light. But this year's lack of participants from big TV programmes suggest negativity still lingers. Kristian Nairn and Karen Carney has been confirmed for Strictly Conspicuous by their absence are any non-BBC soap stars. In previous years there has been a peppering from Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks. Similarly other shows that normally offer up their big talents — BBC Breakfast, Good Morning Britain, This Morning, Loose Women — have kept their distance ahead of the 23rd series starting next month. Pop stars, fashion icons and politicians have also steered clear. A TV insider said: 'There's an air of caution among big stars and big shows, who all seem to be biding their time to see if there's still a whiff of the scandal that tainted the show last year. 15 Chris Robshaw, 39, ex-England rugby union captain Credit: Getty 15 George Clarke, 25, YouTuber and podcast host Credit: Instagram 15 Balvinder Sopal, 46, EastEnders matriarch Suki Panesar Credit: Getty 'That's been borne out in some of the payments made to stars this year, even those who you wouldn't consider to be A-listers. 'Rumours are that savvy agents have bumped up their fees knowing the talent pool has shrunk. 'There are even whispers that big stars were toying with taking part, then decided against it after careful consideration. They haven't condemned the show to history quite yet, they've just adopted a 'wait and see' approach TV insider 'The fear seems to be that the Giovanni saga, combined with the Gregg Wallace affair on MasterChef and the Huw Edwards debacle, have left Auntie Beeb looking more like a weird uncle. 'They haven't condemned the show to history quite yet, they've just adopted a 'wait and see' approach.' Strictly previously landed huge stars and popular household names, particularly in the early years — from fashion icons Jodie Kidd and Jerry Hall to Spice Girl Emma Bunton and Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh. Politicians including Ann Widdecombe, Ed Balls and even former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith have all donned their dancing shoes. Other belters who have taken part are Kym Marsh, Jason Donovan, Susanna Reid, Gillian Taylforth, Denise van Outen and Holly Valance. 15 Stefan Dennis, 66, who played Paul Robinson in Neighbours Credit: Getty 15 Ellie Goldstein, 23, who is a model and influencer Credit: Bav Media 15 Thomas Skinner, 34, The Apprentice candidate and businessman Credit: BBC This year there is just one soap star, EastEnders' Balvinder Sopal. As with Gladiators' Nitro, both were selected from Beeb programmes — making them safe bets for the broadcaster. The rest are made up of reality TV stars Vicky Pattison and Dani Dyer, three sports figures — Karen, Chris Robshaw and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Then there's George Clarke, who is virtually unknown outside of YouTube, and drag artist La Voix. The only other actress is ER and Doctor Who star Alex Kingston. And Thursday's reveal of former Apprentice candidate Thomas Skinner — known for his outspoken political views on social media — caused instant controversy. The show faces a particularly tough challenge to win over audiences this year too, with viewing figures on the wane. 15 Reality star Vicky Pattison, 37 Credit: Getty 15 Ross King, 63, showbiz reporter on Lorraine and Good Morning Britain Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 15 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, 53, football manager and former player Credit: Getty In 2021, Strictly's first episode had 9.1million views, and its second had 10.6million. By last year that had fallen to 7.4million and 9.3million respectively. That's an average fall of 1.5million views over three years — or 500,000 annually. Few other shows could justify continuing at that rate of decline. 'Odds against them' Adding further to its woes is the fact BBC stablemate Celebrity Traitors is expected to air this autumn, which could not only confuse viewers but make Strictly pale by comparison. Both are hosted by Claudia Winkleman and feature a large group of famous faces competing with each other before someone is voted out. But Celebrity Traitors boasts an A-list line-up including Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Tom Daley, Jonathan Ross and Clare Balding. 15 La Voix Aryeetey, 33, drag Queen as seen on BGT and Ru Paul's Drag Race 15 Kristian Nairn, 45, actor, best known for Game Of Thrones Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 15 Karen Carney, 38, sports journalist and ex-football player Credit: Shutterstock Editorial It's better, some would say, than the new selection of Strictly stars. If the two series air during the same weeks, viewers might feel forced to choose just one — and the hugely popular newcomer's first star-studded outing is more likely to triumph. Then there are inevitable comparisons with other celebrity-based shows, such as Big Brother and I'm A Celebrity, both on ITV. This year Big Brother had Hollywood's Mickey Rourke topping the bill. While over the past four years A-listers including Coleen Rooney, Nigel Farage, Matt Hancock, Boy George and David Ginola have competed in the jungle smash. It seems the days when the appeal of the show alone could bring in huge stars may have passed. TV insider An insider said: 'Of course the BBC can't be seen to splash cash on huge names in the same way that commercial channels and streamers are able to. 'The irony is that this year they haven't splurged on big names, but in some cases they ended up paying over the odds for talent anyway. 'It seems the days when the appeal of the show alone could bring in huge stars may have passed. Now bosses will be praying they can one day bring them back. 'But the odds are, literally, against them.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'We don't recognise this anonymous source's claims. We're delighted with our Class of 2025.'

Man Utd files: Red Devils chiefs give up on Carlos Baleba transfer as all eyes turn to Viktor Gyokeres vs Benjamin Sesko
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VIKTOR GYOKERES will be playing at Old Trafford on Sunday – and many expected it would be his permanent home this summer. Ever since Ruben Amorim's appointment was confirmed at Manchester United back in the autumn, the Swede was linked to the Red Devils. 9 Viktor Gyokeres is set to be in action for Arsenal at Old Trafford this Sunday Credit: Alamy 9 Ruben Amorim coached Gyokeres with great success at Sporting Credit: Getty Play Dream Team now!

And that only heated up as the Portuguese boss struggled to get goals from his team over the final months of last season. Amorim's admiration for his former Sporting Lisbon striker has always been clear – but United's interest in him never really got off the ground. Word came back early on that Gyokeres had set his heart on a move to Arsenal this summer so United switched their attention elsewhere. Amorim insists he is delighted to have landed Benjamin Sesko – who he believes will be United's main forward for many years to come. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Field generals Five midfield engines Man Utd could swoop for if Baleba transfer fails The United boss has had just five working days to bond with Sesko, who has only played against the under-21s in a United shirt, so a start against Arteta's Gunners might be too big an ask. But with Rasmus Hojlund on the verge of joining AC Milan on loan and Mason Mount playing as a false No9 last time out - Sesko might have to be deployed instantly. Opponents Arsenal tracked 6ft 5in Sesko for a very long time, a move seeming nailed on amid the Sporting-Gyokeres transfer saga. In the end, the North London club got Gyokeres over the line. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK The strikers offer a similar profile, with Arsenal's new star a more traditional, powerful target man, while Sesko combines physicality with greater mobility. The Sweden international has scored over 100 goals for club and country over the past two seasons - more than Sesko has yet managed in his career. Wayne Rooney reveals gang of masked thugs turned up at his home after row with Sir Alex Ferguson over Man Utd exit But he is 27. A signing for the here and the now who has already shown what he's capable of with a glancing header in Arsenal's rampant 3-0 pre-season win over Athletic Club. Sesko's goal output might not be as impressive as Gyokeres', but his 39 goals for RB Leipzig in all competitions over the past two seasons means he's Europe's highest goalscorer of players under 23 in that time. 9 Benjamin Sesko is gearing up for his Old Trafford bow Credit: PA 9 CARL IT QUITS ANOTHER player who Amorim admires is Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba – who has been linked with a switch to Old Trafford over recent weeks. However there is an acceptance at United that the Cameroon will not be moving to them this summer. The asking price from the Seagulls is simply too hot for the Red Devils, who have splashed out more than £200million on their forward line this summer. Baleba is believed to fancy the move though – so watch this space in 12 months time. 9 Carlos Baleba is believed to fancy a move to Old Trafford Credit: Getty SESK ON FIRE BENJAMIN SESKO'S agent has confirmed he held talks with several other clubs before sealing the dream switch to Manchester United. Newcastle's interest was well documented – while there were reports in Spain that Barcelona were keen on the £74million Slovenian. Now Elvis Basanovic – whose Pro Transfer Agency have guided him through out his career – has spoken about a hectic few weeks. But he admits all their efforts will be worthwhile when he sets foot on the Old Trafford turf for the first time this weekend. Basanovic said: 'It's been a tough summer. The story dragged on for a long time, including talks with other clubs. 'There was a lot of work, travel, stress and little sleep but in the end, it was worth it for something extraordinary. 'I couldn't wait to see Benjamin walk into the Theatre of Dreams.' The agent hopes Sesko's story will inspire other young players from their tiny nation to aim for the very top. He added: 'Benjamin proved that even from small Slovenia, you can achieve big things. 'I hope other young players there will dream big, work hard and realise amazing goals.' 9 Sesko is buzzing to be at OId Trafford Credit: Getty SIGN OF THE TIMES RUBEN AMORIM'S new signings have captured the imagination of their supporters this summer. Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko hope to add the goals and a bit of excitement that were sadly lacking last year. Meanwhile popular club captain and talisman Bruno Fernandes has chosen to stay despite strong interest from Saudi Arabia in May. Yet club legend Rio Ferdinand revealed it was a different name that supporters wanted on their backs during the tour of North America this summer. Former skipper and centre back Harry Maguire was the most popular name – according to Rio, who interviewed the England defender this week. 9 Harry Maguire shirts have been flying off the shelves... apparently Credit: Getty THIS IS THE ONE UNITED are doing all they can to improve the atmosphere at the Theatre of Dreams this summer. Not surprisingly, given the lack of excitement and goals, things were a little flat for Prem games last season. Now The Red Army fan group have requested the music is turned off 15 minutes before kick off to allow supporters to crank up the noise. The same request has been made for the minutes after a home win – when regulars are currently treated to 'Glory Glory Man United'. The Old Trafford faithful have been given the chance to fill in a survey to make their feelings known on the matter ahead of the curtain raiser against Arsenal. Organisers have made it clear they still want two traditional pre-match favourites to remain – no matter what the outcome. 'Country Roads' by John Denver and Stone Roses Classic 'This is the One' will continue to be played no matter what is decided. 9 Man Utd could experiment with what they play before and after matches Credit: Getty CASA AMOR STAFF who survived Sir Jim Ratcliffe's wave of redundancies were given metal WATER BOTTLES with the club's new motto sprayed across: 'BADGE, BRAVERY, SPIRIT' to take home with them this week. United's twist on Love Island bottles served as a reminder of chief executive Omar Berrada's newly set core values relayed during a big group meeting at Carrington on Monday. That meeting served as a chance for directors Jason Wilcox and Marc Armstrong, as well as Amorim, to give an overview of how the summer has gone. Wilcox, United's director of football, applauded latest signing Benjamin Sesko during his speech, praising 'Benji' for showing tremendous desire to join the club. He claimed the 22-year-old striker rejected further offers of a higher salary from fellow suitors Newcastle, even after he had agreed personal terms at Old Trafford - a point rejected by people at St James Park. On the topic of wanting United above all else, Amorim grabbed the opportunity to thank skipper Bruno Fernandes for returning down a 'big money move to Saudi Arabia'. This is the first time United have started a season with the manager and football structure both chosen by Ratcliffe's Ineos regime.
