Bobby Brazier shuts down family rift reports with heartfelt message to dad Jeff
Bobby Brazier has appeared to quash rumours of a feud in the Brazier family by sharing a sweet Father's Day message. The 2023 Strictly Come Dancing finalist was said to have 'turned his back' on dad Jeff Brazier. According to a family insider, the EastEnders actor, who will exit the soap later this year, has moved out of their Essex home to live in Soho, where he's focused on 'following his own path,' which includes spirituality. The reports followed an intense couple of weeks for his 20-year-old brother Freddy Brazier, who publicly admitted that he 'doesn't want to see' Jeff, accusing him of being image-obsessed without consideration for 'his own sons'. He is also due to enter rehab, having shared that he's been addicted to smoking since the age of 12, while Jeff is allegedly seeking legal action to prevent his youngest from spending time with his grandmother, Jackiey Budden. Despite all of this, Bobby appears keen to maintain a positive public-facing image. Taking to his Instagram Story this evening, the 22-year-old wished Jeff a happy Father's Day with four words that made it clear how he feels about him. 'My dads a rock. [sic]', his caption read. Bobby accompanied the declaration with a photo of not just himself and Jeff, but Freddy too. Taken from behind, it showed the three of them looking out at a vibrant sunset on the beach. With Jeff in the middle, he had his arms around both boys. The post was completed with Adele's emotional ballad Hometown Glory playing over the top. Bobby's unexpected affectionate post is a stark contrast to the details of his so-called strained relationship with his father reported just days ago. According to the Daily Mail, Bobby's new residence is close to Hare Krishna HQ, where he is said to have turned to process the distance that is thought to have grown between him and Jeff. A source close to the family said: 'Bobby's always had a spiritual side, but this is intentional. It's clear he's trying to leave all the fighting and noise behind. 'Freddy's rebellion is loud—drugs, public slanging matches, and legal battles about his nana—while Bobby's is quiet. But actually it's just as defiant. 'He's turning his back on the life his Dad created for them in Essex and following his own path.' It's reported that he shows up to Hare Krishna HQ 'every Saturday without fail', joining in the kitchen sessions, lessons, and prayers. 'This isn't a gimmick,' an insider insisted. This Morning host Jeff is said to be 'heartbroken' at how things have developed, especially with Freddy coming out with such a public tongue-lashing. In his own interview with the Mail, Freddy did not hold back, also claiming that he and Bobby 'don't speak much either'. 'I sent him a message to wish him a happy birthday, but that's it,' he admitted. 'I used to be the middleman between my dad and everyone. But now I can't be bothered. I don't care what happens.' Freddy also said his brother is the 'fiery' one in their household. 'I'm chilled out—I zone out and walk away when we argue.' Elsewhere in the chat, Freddy said he wouldn't be seeing his dad on Father's Day, having also avoided posting anything online to mark the occasion. More Trending Freddy, who was just four when his mum Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009 at age 27, added: 'But that's because I feel like I'm being hung out. I don't really deserve it.' However, he's not ruling out the possibility of building bridges, having said he wants to 'be clean so [he] can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of [his] family' ahead of entering rehab. Mentioning Jeff explicitly, he said in a recent Instagram Story statement that updated fans on his well-being: 'I haven't been able to feel love properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father'. Nan Jackiey is Goody's mother. She has also spoken about her struggles with drug use in the past, also making it clear how she feels about Jeff in public rants using the C-word. Got a story?

I tried 100 rosé wines and £6.99 Lidl bottle was the best
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Today is National Rosé Day, not that it takes a special day to get us to crack open a bottle. I don't know about you though, but I'm all Whispering Angel'd out. It's the Meghan Markle of the wine world – pretty, polished and everywhere. Yes, the tutu-coloured wine has come to be synonymous with summer sipping. It's the that one everyone's heard of and the best example of insanely good marketing since French Connection (who remembers FCUK back in the day?) Let's look at some of its credentials, the hush-toned cherub (my code for Whispering Angel) is the world's best-selling rosé and it's just been announced that it's the official rosé partner of Formula 1 racing. Celebs like Lady Gaga go googoo for the stuff, with Adele admitting to US Vogue magazine that her fist post-lockdown trip to the supermarket was for ketchup and Whispering Angel. Ahh, celebs and their 'essentials'. Sacha Lichine is the man behind the brand. He didn't just bottle a pink wine when he rebooted the rosé category in 2006, by creating his first vintage of Whispering Angel. He bottled a lifestyle, and ever since, his influence on the world of wine has been, well, iconic. There's no other word for it. As Oscar Wilde once said, 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery', and boy, Whispering Angel should be flattered. It's got more knock-offs than a dodgy market in Marbella. One retailer (Asda), even has their own version of the rosé called 'Screaming Devil'. That said, we're reaching peak Whispering Angel right about now. When you google 'why is Whispering Angel…', the options are 'so expensive', 'overrated', 'so popular', and 'so bad for your voice'. Though the last one may be about the actual act of whispering. So, let's move beyond the pale pink predictability of Whispering Angel, especially at £24 a bottle. Is it worth that much? Heck no. Sure, it's crisp and zesty, but it's also relatively simple, lean and austerely dry. Slice off a tenner and we'd be in the right ballpark. Luckily, there's a sea of pink wines that'll make us want to take a selfie on a White Lotus-style yacht this summer, minus the murder. So let's twist the screwcap on something a little bit more interesting, shall we? I've swirled, sipped and spat out 100 wines at supermarket tastings over the last few months and collated a selection of the most gluggable from Aldi, Lidl, Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Co-op and M&S. So ice down your wine glasses, here are my top 15 (in order of price): Under £10 Deluxe Argentinian Malbec Rosé Mendoza, Argentina, £6.49, Lidl Subconsciously, we equate darker coloured rosé with sweetness. That's just not the case here, or anywhere other than Californian blush wines, really. This is all dry, nectarine sherbet, violets and spice flavours with a gorgeous whoosh of zest factor. Ignore the cranky Vivino reviews, this bottling is top notch. Wine Atlas Ile de Beaute Rose, Corsica, £6.97, Asda A Corsican rosé is always going to make it onto my list. 'The Island of Beauty' is located just south of Provence, so it's not a stretch to see how they produce great rosé. 50 million bottles of it a year, no less, so they know what they're doing. This is subtle at first, but delivers a jolt of perfumed apricot skin and red berry fruit flavours. Ca Del Lago Rosato Trevenezie, £6.99, Italy, Lidl – Overall Winner First place goes to one I've recommended a few times now. It's part of Lidl's core range and is reminiscent of the iconic Ca dei Frati Rosa dei Frati (£25 a bottle). Lidl's version has everything we need in our rosé-swilling life, from flavours of Red Lady apples to Mirabelle plum skin and cherry blossom. A genuine delight that could (and probably should) be twice the price. Coteaux Varois en Provence Rosé, France, £7.47, Asda I was staggered by the dinky price tag of this rosé, considering its incredible intensity and punnet-loads of cherry flavours. It's also fresh, zesty and minerally. Coteaux de Varois is a key appellation in Provence which sits alongside Côtes de Provence, in the Var region. This bottle is super concentrated and exceptional value for money. Co-op Irresistible Solo Dry Rose, Spain, £8.50, Co-op This wine has barely any colour yet delivers an unexpected burst of wild strawberry flavours. What the David Blaine is going on? It's made from generously fruity, Spanish old vine Garnacha grapes that have had the juice separated from the skins almost immediately. Pale and very interesting. Côte des Roses Rosé, £9.28, Asda This rosé has got what it takes to become a Whispering Angel-like icon. The bottle has a rose embossed on its base, for goodness sake. It's made by French ex-rugby player, Gerard Bertrand, who also makes Jon Bon Jovi's rosé, Hampton Water. Think generous notes of strawberry sherbet and pomegranate jewels in flavour. Rosorange, Aldi, £9.99 You probably already know this wine if you're on social media. It went viral last year for being the only rosé/orange wine hybrid in existence. More crucially though, it's got a cute, insta-friendly bottle with picture of an orange on the label. The wine itself is opulent and generous, with textured flavours of nectarine and tangerine pith. Under £12 Breath of Paradise, Lidl, £10.99, Lidl Lidl recently launched their not-so-subtle version of Whispering Angel, which even has a pair of angel wings on the label just in case you didn't get it. This has bright and zesty flavours of Mirabelle plum and cantaloupe melon one slays at under half the price Extra Special Notre-Dames Des Anges Provence Rosé, £10.47, Asda This rosé is rolling in awards, and it's no wonder as it's delicious. It's got more stewed strawberry flavours than a regular Provence rosé with a soupcon of candyfloss in the blend, not literally though. It's generous with its flavours and worth spanking a few more quid on. Chassaux et Fils Sainte Victoire Provence Rosé, £11.99, Aldi I went a bit loopy for this rosé when I first tasted it back in March at the Aldi wine tasting. I've put the word 'rich' a lot in my notes, which is a good thing. This is better quality than the cherub that speaks quietly, with more texture, nectarine and blood orange fruit character and a mouthwatering whizzy note on the finish. Kylie Minogue Vin de Provence, £11.88, Asda I just can't get you out of my glass, Kylie. Not when you're tasting this good! Not to be confused with the more expensive 'Côtes de Provence' wine, also by Kylie which is more expensive and in a squat bottle. There's also her 'Kylie Rosé' which is cheaper and made from grapes grown across France. Under £15 Screaming Devil Rosé, £12.97, Asda The name usually takes a minute for the penny to drop. Once it has, pop open a bottle and you'll find a generous helping of textured, peachy-tasting rosé. It's a rosé-all-day guzzler, slightly deeper in colour than the wine it's inspired by, but it actually tastes more expensive at half the price. Mirabeau X Côtes de Provence Rosé, £13.25, Sainsbury's Rosés don't come prettier than Mirabeau, fact. At this point though, there's too many Mirabeau labels for me to keep up with, so I tend to gravitate towards the original. Confusing in itself as there's another one actually called 'the original'. Anyway, this one is elegant, juicy and clean with aromatic notes of cherry blossom and white peach. More Trending Roseblood Rosé, £14, Majestic I'd heard about this rosé before actually tasting it, it had a kind of cult-like status. Now I know why, it's co-owned by former French President, Nicolas Sarkozy and his supermodel wife and singer (and former First Lady of France), Carla Bruni. It's made by Chateau d'Estoublon, who have been making revered wines for 500 years. The wine is delicious, pithy with notes of candied rhubarb and wild strawberries. Under £20 La Balconne Organic Provence Rosé, £18, M&S View More » At around a fiver cheaper than the cherubic wine, I'm a big fan of M&S's version. Made by a husband and wife team in the Côtes de Provence, in terms of flavour, it has a uniquely grown-up style. You won't find anything candied or cutesy about it, it's a vibrantly fruity, saline and overtly gastronomic wine. Lobster spaghetti, anyone?

EuroMillions rolls over AGAIN as UK's biggest £208m prize goes unclaimed – everything you need to know for the next draw
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE massive EuroMillions jackpot prize of £208million will roll over yet again after the money went unclaimed. While the hefty sum wasn't won players should still check their tickets to see if they can claim a smaller chunk of the total prize money on offer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 There were no winners of colossal jackpot of £208m Credit: Getty The winning numbers tonight were 02, 28, 40, 43, 45 and the two lucky stars were 03 and 07. In the previous draw, four players matched the five main and one star, but nobody matched all five and both the lucky stars. The numbers on that draw on June 10 were 19, 36, 39, 40 and 45 and the two lucky stars were 5 and 6. The prize money is now capped at £208 million and players will have a chance to win the huge sum on the next draw on Tuesday 17th June. The final "Must Be Won" draw will be triggered after the fifth draw, which will be on Friday, June 20. This means that the money will have to be given to someone that night. Players can therefore win the huge sum of cash, without matching all five numbers and two lucky stars. If no one matches the five numbers and two lucky stars, the fund will roll down to the next tier, meaning anyone who matches five numbers and one lucky star will share the £208 million sum. If no one is a winner in this tier, then players who have matched just the five main numbers will share the prize. The jackpot will keep moving down a tier, until there is a winner. EuroMillions jackpot winner Frances Connolly reveals surprising first item she bought with £114m jackpot If there is a sole jackpot winner, they will become richer than Adele and Dua Lipa. Andy Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said, 'Tuesday will see the incredible £208M EuroMillions jackpot still up for grabs. "A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen. "Get your tickets early to ensure you're in with a chance of a massive life-changing win." Tonight's draw also saw 13 UK millionaires made through a special EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker event. UK EuroMillions players should check their tickets and contact the lottery team if they believe they are one of the lucky winners. In the previous week's draw the main EuroMillions winning numbers were 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and the Lucky Stars were 02, 12. One UK ticket-holder became a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £2.02million. No players won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by matching the five Thunderball numbers, 03, 14, 31, 32, 34, and the Thunderball number 06. It comes after an anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195million on July 19 2022. Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, bagged £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10. The UK's third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177million jackpot on November 26 last year. It came after 11 millionaires were made on the National Lottery draw in just one week in 2024. One lucky Brit won a cool £33million with their Euromillions ticket. Another ticket, which was snagged in the UK, matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars. It came just weeks after two players from the same county scooped £1m each. This year, the largest win was seen in January with £83million. A previous EuroMillions lottery winner, who scooped an eye-watering £107million jackpot, has revealed why he went public with the news. Neil Trotter bagged the whopping prize money and was faced with a huge decision whether or not to remain anonymous. The 45-year-old chose to splash the cash and filled his driveway with a Jaguar and a Porsche - before upgrading their parking spaces to a luxury mansion. But, Neil explained it can be tricky to go public because of pressure to provide people with money. However, he was overjoyed to buy his sister a house, and help out family and friends privately. He told the BBC: "It was quite tricky but I don't really see that there's any option [other] than to go public. "If you want to live the dream - which is have the house, the money and spend it, you've got to go public. "People have said in the past they would hide the money, I think £170million is going to be impossible to hide. "This is the lake that I bought and the big house and I'm living my dream." But he did previously admit he has been hounded by people making up claims to snap up his cash. He said: "I have had loads of people contact me on Facebook, I've probably got about four million kids in this country. "Everyone wants a bit of money." Elsewhere, a lucky couple thought they'd only bagged £2.60 on the lottery - but soon discovered they had scooped the £61million jackpot. Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, from Colne, Lancashire, took home the life-changing sum in the EuroMillions draw. The couple were enjoying a holiday in Fuerteventura, celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, when they discovered the big win. Richard revealed they originally thought they had won £2.60, but then received another email telling the pair to check their account. 'I thought it was odd and there must be a glitch in the system to get a duplicate email but I logged in again to my National Lottery account to check," he explained. "We were totally stunned, it said we had won over £61million," said the winner.
