Dramatic inside story of Millie Bright's toughest week yet as star quits Euros & dumps fiance…& why she has ‘no regrets'
JUST 18 months ago she was flashing her diamond engagement ring on a sun-soaked holiday in Mauritius, toasting a future with the man she called her 'King'. But today Lioness 6 Millie Bright has pulled out of the Euro 2025 tournament Credit: PA 6 She has also split from her fiance Levi Crew Credit: Instagram It began with her shock withdrawal from the Physically, defender Millie is recovering from knee surgery which saw her miss a date with Prince William yesterday to On a personal level, this week it emerged she's She's also been spotted with a new diamond ring on her little finger - though there's no suggestion it's an engagement ring. Meanwhile all mentions of Levi have been swiftly deleted from But people who know Millie, 31, are not remotely surprised by this single-minded determination to do what's right for her. "Millie is not the type of woman to be troubled by self doubt or regret," said a source, adding that she makes tough decisions, and sticks to them. An onlooker said: 'Millie's had a chaotic few weeks with news of her split and pulling out of the England squad. But she's as tough in real life as she is on the pitch.' It's arguably this ruthless, resilient mentality that has got Millie so far in life - going from earning £25 a week in a Yorkshire pit village to a Up until recently she shared this immaculate home with Levi, whom she was so devoted to that she proudly displayed a tattoo of his eye on her left arm, along with a tiger because 'he gave her core strength through thick and thin'. England footie ace Millie Bright's hunky new personal trainer lover revealed as kickboxer dad of SEVEN She raved about her 'perfect kitchen' after it was fitted by high end designers Howdens to include a bespoke pet space under the breakfast bar for her beloved French bulldogs Zeus and Hera, named after Greek gods. And the garden boasts an Explore ice bath which she uses for her post game ritual. Millie is thought to have met heavily inked former pro kickboxer and martial arts enthusiast Dave in February. She joined 21st Century Combat, the gym he co-owns with his wife Katie close to her Surrey mansion, and signed up to his gruelling exercise classes. There is no suggestion that Millie or Dave cheated on their partners. Eyes on the prize 6 Millie and Levi got engaged on Christmas Day in 2023 Credit: Instagram 6 Millie's new love is former pro kickboxer and martial arts enthusiast Dave Zetolofsky, 39 Credit: Facebook From an early age, Millie always had her eyes firmly fixed on the prize. Growing up among the She first sat on a horse when she was one, and was riding by the age of three - insisting that horses were her 'life rather than a hobby'. Determined and dedicated, Millie would rise early and be out working in her family's stable yard by 6am most mornings before school, rain or shine. She competed every weekend, and the owl Millie has tattooed on her arm is a likeness of the one that flew back to her parents barn every year. But suddenly, at the age of nine, she decided to sacrifice it all after stumbling across football by accident. Millie's had a chaotic few weeks with news of her split and pulling out of the England squad. But she's as tough in real life as she is on the pitch Source Bored while watching a friend train one morning at her local club, Killamarsh Dynamos, she decided to join in the session. That was the moment everything changed, and from then on Millie's life revolved around the Dynamos. Millie was such a key player that the club would later name their pitches after her. Inevitably she outgrew the Dynamos and a few years later - dressed as one of the mustachioed runners from the 118 118 directory enquiries service for a charity run - she seized the opportunity to introduce herself to Paul Green, then manager of Doncaster Belles. He recalled that her handshake was so strong that day it took him aback. Unable to refuse her, her contract was quickly a done deal. 'Diamond in the rough' 6 Millie has won 19 trophies with Chelsea F.C. Women Credit: Alamy Another former Doncaster manager, John Buckley, remembers Millie as a diamond in the rough. 'From the minute she came in she was totally involved, a cracking girl,' he said. Back then women's football was not the big business it is today, and her wages were just £25 a week. Undeterred, Millie juggled two part time jobs - working as a fitness instructor and a horse groom at Esberger's Yard in Todwick - to supplement her meagre income. In 2019 she recalled in an interview with the BBC how an ankle injury at that time not only robbed her of her earnings from football, but left her claiming benefits because she could not work her two other jobs either. From the minute she came in she was totally involved, a cracking girl John Buckley Doncaster manager Ever supportive, her parents Nicola and Steve forked out for private surgery and the club paid for her rehabilitation. 'She was always so driven and eventually, she knew what she wanted to do - which was to play professional football,' said Sheila Edmunds, the president of the Doncaster Rovers Belles. A family friend added: 'It was always blood, sweat and tears with Millie, she would play until her entire body hurt.' As her football career grew more demanding in her teens, Millie was forced to make another tough choice. She had to abandon the stables for good - and now Millie is barred from horse riding at all by her insurers. After that of course Millie soared to greater heights and spells in midfield meant she was a direct opponent of England legend Jill Scott, then at Everton. In one press conference Scott said: 'The girl I played against tonight, that young girl - she's the most aggressive player I've ever played against.' Millie's mum and dad were in the stands at every game, along with her no-nonsense grandparents Margaret and Arthur. Arthur Bramall, a tough former coal miner who spent his career at the Rossington colliery in Doncaster, is the person Millie relies on the most for honest feedback about her performance on the pitch. Bitter blow 6 Millie's England teammates have flocked to support her Credit: PA Her decision to withdraw from the Euro 2025 squad as they began preparations for the tournament in Switzerland next month was a bitter blow for fans. Millie admitted: 'The demands of it are incredibly high and I would see it as a little bit selfish to take up an opportunity in a position from somebody else when I'm not 100 per cent there. 'It wasn't an easy decision. I gave it a lot of thought. 'But ultimately, I thought this was the best decision for the team, but also for myself and using this summer to really just zone into mentally, physically, getting myself back in tip-top condition and just happy again, all round, just feeling like myself. It's obviously hard.' Fans have rallied to support Millie on social media, as have her teammates, with England manager While she'll no doubt find it difficult watching her team play on without her, Millie's new love certainly provides a big shoulder to cry on.

Dr Norah Patten on the less glamorous side of space training
When you picture astronaut training, chances are you're imagining extremely serious, Hans Zimmer soundtracked scenes from the likes of Interstellar, Gravity or Ad Astra. Chances are you're probably not picturing a Ballina woman perfecting her zero gravity approach; however, Dr. Norah Patten: engineer and Ireland's very own spacebound trailblazer, is the REAL face of space exploration in 2025. As she edges closer to becoming the first Irish person in space, Norah's training regimen is, as you'd expect; rigorous, technical, and full of acronyms. But it also comes with a healthy dose of chaos and very human moments. She sat down with this week to lift the visor on what really goes on behind the scenes of astronaut prep. When you picture astronaut training, chances are you're imagining extremely serious, Hans Zimmer soundtracked scenes from the likes of Interstellar, Gravity or Ad Astra. Pic: Facebook 'I think with social media, it's been great having that as a platform to share some of the some of the preparation we do, and some of the programs that we've we've worked on,' she began. 'I think people like to hear about the kind of quirky things…for example, the microgravity flights are often named 'the vomit comet' because people get motion sick on them. 'Because you're flying in this trajectory on the aircraft where it's like you're flying up and down, and you're getting this 20 seconds of weightlessness, and you then transition into like a 2g pull, so everything becomes heavy, and often in those transitions, people can get motion sick and and so people often like to hear, did you get sick? You know, and what do you eat in advance?' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aer Lingus (@aerlingus) Norah sees her pre-flight meal as an essential part of the launch day routine, admitting she has it down to a 'fine art' by now. 'I know a chicken wrap, a plain chicken wrap, maybe two and a half hours before I fly and I'm perfect. I haven't gotten sick. If you don't eat, you're more likely to get sick. So there's all these combinations.' Another lesser-known but entirely practical part of space preparation is the use of adult nappies—yes, even astronauts have to think about bathroom breaks when suited up, with Norah spilling the beans on the less glamorous side of space exploration. Chances are you're probably not picturing a Ballina woman perfecting her zero gravity approach, however, Dr. Norah Patten: engineer and Ireland's very own spacebound trailblazer is the REAL face of space exploration in 2025. Pic: Instagram/ Dr Norah Patten 'It's a maximum absorbency garment, it's a mag, and you actually wear those on the space flight. Astronauts wear them on the way to the space station. It's just, if you did have to go to the toilet, there's no toilets on the spacecraft. So what do you do? You wear a mag on your space flight. I think it's those interesting little facts that people like to get a sense of that the human side.' Norah's journey has also quietly transformed her into a role model for a new generation of space enthusiasts, especially in Ireland. Her presence in the space world shows young people—particularly girls and those from underrepresented communities—that space isn't just for a select few. It's a career path that can start with stargazing in Mayo and lead all the way to orbit. As she edges closer to becoming the first Irish person in space, Norah's training regimen is, as you'd expect; rigorous, technical, and full of acronyms. But it also comes with a healthy dose of chaos and very human moments. She sat down with this week to lift the visor on what really goes on behind the scenes of astronaut prep. Pic: Facebook 'It's sometimes hard to put into words, because it's something I don't for one second take for granted,' she remarked of her newfound fame. 'Sometimes I get recognized out, you know, with little kids coming up, and they're like, 'oh, there's Nora!' And it's really, really special to see. 'I just want to be able to use the flight as a means of engaging with as many, not just kids, adults too, in Ireland, just to share what we're doing, inspire them and If there was some big dream or ambition they had, to find possible routes to make it happen.' Norah has been selected for a mission on board Virgin Galactic's second generation of spacecraft that will hopefully launch in 2026 Aer Lingus has since partnered with Dr Patten ahead of her historic space mission, with the Irish airline proudly flying Norah as she crosses the Atlantic while undertaking this vital space research.
