Rolex founder 'was a suspected Nazi spy'
Secret service agents believed the German founder of Rolex was a Nazi spy, formerly classified documents at the National Archives reveal. MI5 feared Hans Wilsdorf should be blacklisted due to his 'strong' sympathies for Adolf Hitler's regime, The Telegraph reports. The Second World War papers, dated between 1941 and 1943, state that Wilsdorf was 'most objectionable' and 'suspected of espionage'. Despite his status as a naturalised British citizen, the papers suggest that MI5 viewed Wilsdorf as a potential threat to Allied interests during World War II. British authorities first became concerned that Wilsdorf supported the Nazis in 1941. A report that year from the British consul in Geneva said he was 'well known for his strong Nazi sympathies'. And, a 1941 letter from the Blacklist Section of the Ministry of Economic Warfare stated it was desirable to review blacklisting Wilsdorf, but noted it may not be in the best interests at the moment. Wilsdorf's blacklisting may have hurt Rolex and a large amount of overseas trade with the Empire countries, the papers revealed. A later report from 1943 stated: 'Wilsdorf and his wife are majority shareholders, and he is suspected of espionage on behalf of the enemy.' The documents also suggest that Wilsdorf's offer of free Rolex watches to British prisoners of war (POWs) may have been motivated by publicity rather than patriotism. 'The fact Rolex offered watches to Allied POWs in German camps suggested Wilsdorf was on the right side of history,' Jose Perez, a horological historian who discovered the existence of the MI5 file told the publication. 'But, I believe it was a stunt to gain favour with the British government,' he told the publication. Responding to the allegations, Rolex said it was well aware of the file in the National Archives and had constituted a team of historians for further research. Wilsdorf was born in Bavaria in 1881 but his parents died shortly afterwards. He moved to England in 1903 and started making watches in Hatton Garden before registering the name Rolex and marrying British-born Florence Crotty. In 1919, he based the company headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Wilsdorf died in 1960, leaving his ownership stake in Rolex to the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, which continues to own the company and supports charitable causes.

Liam Gallagher shows support for brother Paul after he was charged with rape and 'offers him a bed in his £4million mansion and a seat on his private jet
Liam Gallagher has shown the strength of his brotherly bond by opening his £4million home to his rape-accused sibling just weeks before his court appearance. Paul Gallagher, the older brother of Noel and Liam, has also been seen boarding a £3.5million private jet and flying off with his singer sibling to the band's recent gig in Edinburgh. The DJ, who lives in East Finchley, north London, is facing a string of charges following an investigation that began last year. As well as rape, he is also accused of sexual assault, coercive control and making threats to kill. He is due to appear in court later this month. The offences are said to date from between 2022 and 2024 and relate to one woman. Paul, who at 59 is one year older than Noel and seven years older than Liam, grew up with the pair in Burnage, Manchester. Photographs published by The Sun show Paul with Liam arriving at Luton airport, while another was taken of Paul outside the Oasis frontman's north London mansion on Friday. A source said it showed the musician wanted to show support for his older brother. 'Liam is supporting Paul through this. It says a lot about Liam. 'He has an incredibly hectic schedule at the moment because of the tour — but he wants to be there for his big brother.' While he has previously not been involved with Oasis, which is currently mid-way through its sold-out reunion tour, Paul Gallagher is listed on an official programme as the 'tour DJ'. The band are scheduled to play three more shows at Wembley before moving onto Edinburgh, Dublin and then further abroad. Paul lives in a flat that Noel bought in 2004 and has worked as a DJ and photographer. He has previously described himself as living a normal life 'amongst the lower middle classes'. Paul added that he tries to avoid public attention, preferring to stay 'invisible'. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police previously said: 'Paul Gallagher, 59, of East Finchley, has been charged with rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Paul lives in a flat that Noel bought in 2004 and has worked as a DJ and photographer. 'The offences are reported to have taken place between 2022-2024. The charges follow an investigation which commenced in 2024. 'A woman is being supported by specially trained officers.' Paul Gallagher will appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, August 27. Oasis announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Before the recent string of concerts, the last time they played Wembley was on July 12, 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour. The group kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. After their gig at Edinburgh on Tuesday and Dublin's Croke Park on August 17, Oasis will head off to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.

Frank Skinner claims there are 'lots of creepy men' working in TV 'making women's lives a misery' as he recalls getting vile cameraman sacked for filming up a female colleague's skirt
has claimed there are 'lots of creepy men' working in the TV industry who often make 'women's lives a misery'. The comedian, 68, recalled one particular incident in which he used his position on his chat show, which aired on both BBC and ITV from 1995 to 2005, to get a vile cameraman sacked after he filmed up a female colleague's skirt. He told The Sun: 'I think if you've got the power to do something about that, you need to use it', as he branded the incident 'horrible' and a form of 'bullying'. '[The cameraman] He thought it was funny to put the camera up a make-up woman's skirt and it got big laughs in the studio. I wasn't in the studio, but I found her crying in a room and she told me about it. 'I asked around. And because I was a big-time comedian, I was able to say: "Well, look, either he goes or I go". I don't want to get anyone sacked, but I did get him sacked. I tell that story not to make myself sound like some big hero and good guy, but just that I had the power and I did something'. Frank said that he believed that is how incident os misconduct should be bullied and found it 'baffling' how they often appear to go ignored. Meanwhile Christopher Biggins has shockingly admitted he would still like to be able to 'grab women by the t***ies' in a bizarre defence of Gregg Wallace. The iconic actor, 76, who is openly gay, said his own past behaviour would 'land him in prison' today and claimed 25 years ago 'everyone' was acting inappropriately. Gregg, 60, stepped down from his duties as Masterchef host after more than 40 complaints about his behaviour were upheld following a BBC investigation. Christopher, who appeared on the show's celebrity version in 2014, said he'd reached out to the scandal-plagued broadcaster following the axe, as well as sharing insight into his own less than savoury antics. He told The Sun: 'Years ago I would approach a woman from behind and grab her t***ies from the front. Well, I'm gay so it didn't matter. And I'd like to still be doing it, but I don't think I can any more. 'If I were to do that now I'd be put into prison. Twenty-five years ago we were all doing it. It was a thing of affection.' He went on: 'I love Gregg and I love his wife. I've tried to get hold of her because they must be going through a terrible time because suddenly careers are vanishing, it's so wrong.' Daily Mail have contacted Christopher Biggins' reps for further comment. No stranger to his own controversy, Christopher was famously axed from the Celebrity Big Brother back in 2016 after making a shocking comment to X Factor star Katie Waissel, which was never broadcast. Christopher told Katie, who is Jewish: 'You better be careful or they'll be putting you in a shower and taking you to a room.' Bosses immediately removed him from the house, and his £100,000 fee was reportedly slashed. Christopher has since apologised for his comments, noting that some of his close friends, such as Birds of a Feather's Lesley Joseph, were Jewish. The BBC review into Gregg's behaviour concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against him related to inappropriate sexual language and humour'. It added that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated', with 'one incident of unwelcome physical contact' also substantiated. Australian-born chef co-host John Torode, 59, also lost his job after two decades over allegations that he used the N-word, which he claims to have 'absolutely no recollection' of. Gregg and John have returned to screens for one final time together as the BBC made the decision to air the controversial 21st series of MasterChef. It was filmed last year and remained shelved by the broadcaster until the findings of the independent investigation were gathered. The iconic actor, who is openly gay, said his own past behaviour would 'land him in prison' today and claimed 25 years ago 'everyone' was acting inappropriately (pictured on Celebrity Masterchef in 2014) Fans have been left divided over the move to air the programme, with some branding the decision as 'bizarre' and accused the BBC of being 'tone deaf'. There was a last-minute scramble behind-the-scenes to re-edit it and limit the appearances of John and Gregg. One contestant, Sarah Shafi, will not appear on the programme after she complained about the behaviour of Gregg. She claimed she was 'eyed up and ogled' by Gregg on the show, while accusing the TV host of making an 'off' comment about his reputation with women.
