TYLA will release her We Wanna Party EP next Friday – and she certainly lived up to that title with a big night out in the capital.
The South African star was wearing shades with a green bra top and tiny denim shorts as she turned up to have fun at Phonox in Brixton, South London.
And her arrival on Wednesday night even managed to draw Stormzy to the club – despite the fact he previously claimed he's a homebody these days and likes to be tucked up in bed early.

Tyla has just released her raunchy new single, Is It, along with a spicy video in which she sings: 'I can't leave, leave you alone with your eyes on me, no I can't.'
It's no wonder she's caught Stormzy's attention.
SZA SNUB TO MINAJ COLLAB
SZA has provoked Nicki Minaj again – by claiming that she has snubbed two requests from Nicki for a collaboration.
Nicki ranted on Tuesday night that the R&B singer sang like a 'dead dog' and that her streaming figures had been inflated.
But she's now been left with egg on her face after SZA claimed that Nicki was once a fan and had messaged someone in her team about them working together in 2020.
SZA wrote on X: 'Nicki. You absolutely know my music and you've asked for features twice to no response.'
She then highlighted how she wrote lyrics for Nicki's 2014 Beyonce collaboration Feeling Myself, adding: 'In addition to rapping my lyrics 'Cooking up the bass looking like a kilo'? Lol ur having a moment . . .'
I've a hunch this spat has legs.
Proving she is one of the band's biggest fans, she has been at all of the gigs so far, and admitted on TikTok: 'I sound like I smoke a pack a day right now.

Emotional moment Katie Price broke down in tears after being banned from seeing daughter Princess on Ibiza holiday
KATIE Price has revealed the emotional moment she broke down in tears after being banned from seeing Princess on her Ibiza holiday. It comes after The Sun revealed the secret rift between the mother and daughter. 6 Katie Price has revealed an emotional story about her daughter Credit: Getty 6 Katie said she was banned from seeing Princess when they were both in Ibiza Credit: Getty 6 Katie was on holiday in Ibiza in June Credit: Instagram 6 Princess has her own TV show but Katie isn't allowed to appear on it Credit: princessandrex/Snapchat Daughter Princess, 18, is set to star in an ITV2 show titled The Princess Diaries. Katie has previously bashed those working with her daughter after The Sun revealed her secret heartache about being cut out of her TV show - and has vowed not to watch it. It now turns out that Princess was filming the show in Ibiza at the same time as her mum was on the party island. However, in a shock revelation Katie revealed that she bumped into Princess' film crew, but she wasn't allowed to see her daughter. Speaking on the latest edition of The Katie Price Show podcast, she revealed: "When I was in Ibiza, Princess was there in Ibiza, and I wasn't allowed to meet up with her. "But funny enough, I walked into a bar, and there was a group of people and it was the producer of her show, and they came up to me and said, we're producing the show. I burst out crying and this producer would know it, and said, 'I'm so upset'. ''It's my daughter. I want to be involved. But that side stops me.'" Continuing, she said: "I was in tears and I never cry. "She saw how upset I was and I could see that she was in a situation because she knows it's right that I should be seeing support in my daughter, and I'm not. "I don't know where it's going to go from here. Katie Price takes another savage swipe at ex Peter Andre and says Princess is 'scared to tell the truth' "But it's all right for them to not have me in the show, but I'm all right to be used for headlines for the show." It comes after The Sun revealed the secret rift between Katie and Princess. We revealed how Katie was left "devastated" when telly bosses told Princess to "distance herself" from her famous mum. Sources said producers deliberately cut the former glamour model out of forthcoming ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries, because it is 'not good for Princess to be seen with Katie'. In a bid to market the youngster as a pretty, middle-class influencer, they even turned down Katie's team's offer to film for free for three days. An insider previously told us: "Katie feels isolated and disregarded. "She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming. "But with all her expertise in the field, Kate obviously hoped to help steer her career — oversee contracts, advise her on press, that sort of thing. 6 Princess' documentary has put a strain on her relationship with her mum Credit: Getty 'She has seen and done it all, and hoped to instil some wisdom and advice on how to handle fame. 'But ITV2 execs have made it clear they want nothing to do with her. "Princess has been advised to distance herself from her outspoken mum, and is perhaps too young and shy to defy orders." Also in the latest episode of The Katie Price Show, Pricey took a savage swipe at her ex Peter Andre - saying Princess is "scared to tell the truth". 6 Katie also took a swipe at her ex, Peter Andre Credit: Getty The former couple were married from 2005 to 2009, welcoming two children together. Speaking on her podcast, she said: "She needs to have knock backs to know, work and appreciate the industry. I've tried to tell her this. "I think she's just too scared because she doesn't want to upset the management and all of that. "Everything they get her, I know I can get her and I wouldn't take a cut. It's all about money at the end of the day." Katie added: "I am fuming about the situation but at the same time I want Princess to do well and I back her in every way. "I need to just air what it is. It has become a serious situation - and the family, we're all fuming about it. "Not one member of our family or anything are involved in anything Princess does. Why? Because we're not allowed."

Mel Gibson returns to Ireland to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Braveheart
It was the most expensive film ever made in Ireland, starring the world's biggest movie star. Braveheart is 30 this year and its star Mel Gibson returns here this weekend to mark the classic 1995 movie's anniversary. Filmed on locations including Meath, Kildare and Wicklow, Mel is coming back for a festival in its honour in Trim this weekend. Braveheart is the theme for the King John Summer Prom - which starts on Friday - and Gibson is the special guest. The Irish-Australian citizen insisted on making Ireland one of the key locations for the story of Scottish hero William Wallace. Key battle scenes took six weeks to shoot, with nine cameras and 2,000 extras. It brought an estimated $30 million (approximately €25.75 million) into the Irish economy and 75 per cent of the 250 people involved in it were Irish. It went on to win five Oscars. Mel Gibson as William Wallace in Braveheart (Image: Getty) It's a summer they won't forget - and for some, it changed the course of their lives and careers. Film expert Esther McCarthy talks to costume designer Kelvin Feeney about what it was like... "Mind-blowing" Kelvin Feeney can still vividly remember hiding behind a hedge with production colleagues as Mel Gibson and a cast of thousands filmed the famous 'hold, hold, hold' battle scene in Braveheart. Hollywood had landed in The Curragh in Kildare in one of those perfect Irish summers of sunshine and big skies to shoot one of the biggest blockbusters the country had seen. Feeney, now 51, a fashion design student, had signed up for some summer work in the film's costume department - little did he know then how much it would change his life and the lives of dozens of other young production staff. The epic battle scene sees Gibson's William Wallace and his fighters hold their battle line until the very last moment in order to surprise their enemy. Gibson, flanked by Irish cast including an emerging actor by the name of Brendan Gleeson, filmed the huge-scale scene over numerous takes, with Feeney and his colleagues readjusting hundreds of costumes in between takes. Braveheart was one of Brendan Gleeson's earliest hits (Image: Zuma Press/PA Images) 'That scene with all those extras was just mind blowing,' he recalls. 'Me and my friends were hiding in a bush when that was being shot so we couldn't be seen. Then we could run out and do our dressing. You were just like: 'this is amazing'.' Though the filming started a year before, in 1994, next month marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Braveheart in Irish cinemas. The sword and sandals tale of how Scottish rebel William Wallace took on the might of the English saw Gibson direct as well as star. Co-starring Brendan Gleeson, Seán McGinley, Sophie Marceau and Catherine McCormack, the blockbuster achieved the rare feat of being both a critical and commercial success. It took over $200 million at the box office and won five Oscars, including for Best Picture, Best Director for Gibson, Cinematography, Sound Effects Editing and Makeup. Kelvin Feeney on set in the Curragh with members of the Irish Army While some of it was shot in Scotland, most of the film was located in Ireland, with locations including Ardmore Studios, The Curragh and Trim in Co Meath among the many featured in the film. As well as many extras, about 1,500 members of the Irish Defence Forces took part in the big-scale action scenes. Gibson would later say that he was prompted to 'go big' on the historical epic after speaking with Kevin Costner, another actor turned director who had had a hit a few years earlier with Dances With Wolves. 'He said, 'There's only one way to go, man. Big.' And I said, 'OK, I'm going big.' Mel Gibson is set to return to Ireland this weekend (Image: Getty Images) 'This was 3,500 people on set, nine cameras and me on a four-wheel motorcycle in costume with blue face (makeup), whipping around checking camera positions because I only had two monitors,' said Gibson in an interview with USA Today years later. 'It was fun.' As Gibson's vision for a big-scale film threatened to send the cost spiralling above its $70 million budget, the star turned towards Ireland, which had the locations, workforce and tax supports to help him realise his goal. Ireland, the location for John Boorman's Excalibur over a decade earlier, was ready for its close-up. There was already a sense of growing confidence following hits like Alan Parker's The Commitments and Jim Sheridan's My Left Foot in the late eighties and early nineties, while Neil Jordan would shoot his own historical drama, Michael Collins, a year later. For Kelvin Feeney - and many others - Braveheart proved to be a game changer. The student was studying fashion design in the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) when producers got in contact with the college, looking for people to work in their costume department. 'No one knew what the movie was. It was just like: 'let's go work on a film and see what it's like'. For us, it was such an amazing experience to go from third year in NCAD to living in The Curragh and earning pretty good money as a student and meeting all these people from all over the world. 'We worked underneath a designer called Charles Knode, who was the designer of the Life of Brian. He actually had a little part in The Life of Brian himself and he was quite a funny man. He had a lot of charm and wit. 'You'd be making helmets for stunt men out of cardboard and then making them look silver and painting them up, or trying to make them look old. 'For Ireland, (it was) an amazing thing, because it was a huge production. We were in the barracks, emptying boxes and boxes of costumes and shoes and belts and aprons, then setting them up and being involved in setting up workrooms in which you'd have extras come in. "This is stuff you were doing at five in the morning and you would be dressing people for three hours and then they go to set. Seeing people like Mel Gibson just queueing up in the queue in front of you, dressed up in his costume and then sitting eating his lunch.' He has since gone on to spend his life working on film sets as a costume prop designer in Ireland and around the world on projects including Vikings, Snow White and the Huntsman and Pirates of the Caribbean. Last year, while talking with four colleagues on the set of the latest big-budget series to shoot in Ireland - Netflix's Wednesday - they realised that all five of them had started on Braveheart. 'It certainly exposed Ireland to a worldwide audience for our scenery and our sets and for the expertise that people put into the movie. That you could make a world class film in Ireland. I think it launched Ireland as a fantastic place in the world to make films. "I know makeup, hair and location people who are all still working in the industry, who started out on that job.'

Who are Vicky Mboko's parents?
See what Vicky said about the effect her family's support has had on her incredible game VICKY Mboko stunned four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka to win her first WTA 1000 title at the 2025 Canadian Open. Here we get to know the parents of tennis' latest superstar, who had more than a little influence on her success. Advertisement 2 Victoria Mboko defied the odds to win the Canadian Open Credit: Reuters 2 She defeated four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka in the final Credit: Getty Who are Vicky Mboko's parents? Victoria 'Vicky' Mboko is the daughter of Cyprien Mboko and Godee Kitadi. Seeking a better life, the couple emigrated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo during a time of turmoil in the late 1990s. The family first moved to North Carolina, where Vicky was born on August 26, 2006. When she was just two months old, the family relocated to Toronto, Canada, where Vicky was raised. Advertisement Early on in his life, her dad Cyprien developed a passion for tennis. While he never played professionally, he was an avid follower of the sport from childhood. In September 2021, Cyprien told OnTennis: 'I have been watching tennis since I was very young. 'My friend and I back home in the Congo would watch Agassi, Courier, Graf and all the other great players.' Advertisement His love for tennis was passed down to his offspring, with Cyprien believing it would promote physical fitness and personal growth. Despite financial constraints, he worked night shifts to support his daughter's training and tournament travel. Moment Swiatek beats Amanda Anisimova in first Wimbledon final whitewash for 114 years Vicky's mum Godee pursued her education diligently, earning an accounting degree while in Montreal. Together, Cyprien and Godee built a household where tennis was not just a pastime but a significant focus. Advertisement They moved the family to Burlington, Ontario, so their kids could benefit from better training facilities and programmes. My sister and brothers have been really important for me. I probably would not have played tennis if not for them. They played with me and coached me Vicky Mboko Their commitment to tennis led to all four of their kids — Vicky and her siblings Gracia, Kevin and David — playing the sport competitively. Gracia earned a tennis scholarship to the University of Denver, Kevin played at Edinboro University, and David showed early promise before eye problems forced him to stop competing. Vicky began playing tennis as a toddler, with her siblings playing a crucial role in nurturing her passion and skills. Advertisement Her sister Gracia said: 'It almost seems like Vicky was born on a tennis court because our parents were always there when we were practising or playing, and Vicky would be with them.' The family's strong support system has been essential to Vicky's rapid rise in the ranks, with Vicky herself crediting them for her success. She said: 'My sister and brothers have been really important for me. I probably would not have played tennis if not for them. They played with me and coached me.'
