Kate Beckinsale shares agony over loss of step-dad Roy Battersby
Kate Beckinsale has shared an emotional tribute to her step-dad Roy Battersby a year after his death.
The Hollywood actress - who lost her biological father Richard Beckinsale when she was five years old - was left devastated when her TV director stepfather passed away in January 2024 at the age of 87 and she shared her pain over the Easter weekend as she would have celebrated Roy's birthday on Sunday (20.04.25).
In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "Happy birthday Roy. Given I've been waiting all day can you rise again - ideally tomorrow … that would be great.
"You being dead is really f****** wearing now. I love you so very much and I wish you had been here to have your birthday and Easter on the same day but anyway see you tomorrow. I shall be waiting at the mouth of the cave."
Kate previously admitted she will always be "haunted" by the loss of both father figures in her life.
In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "Finding my father's dead body alone in the middle of the night at the age of five shaped my entire life. Seeing my beloved stepfather die a year ago today will haunt me forever.
"It does seem terribly careless to have managed to be present for both deaths and unable to prevent either, the second time trying with every single thing I had. It was not enough.
"In the process of losing my beloved Roy I lost family, friendships, at some points my own health, and all the money I had due to how disgusting the American healthcare system is for those who are not insured.
"I would do it again. No question. I cannot help feeling that I dreadfully failed - but I am trying to console myself today with all the preparation that he did in the last years of his life, how deeply he studied and practised as a Jungian and how thin the veil is between the energy of this life and whatever is next,that some part of him was at peace with it.
"It does feel like a lie I am telling myself to try and feel better, however. Perhaps I am just unfortunately not enlightened enough to sell that to myself over my sense of loss, guilt and failure."

Boisson's brilliance prompts Andreeva meltdown
Lois Boisson, a 22-year-old Frenchwoman ranked 361 in the world, has caused a sensation by knocking No.6 seed Mirra Andreeva out of the French Open, 7-6 (8-6) 6-3. Boisson, a wildcard who has never played in the main draw of a grand slam before, pulled off her second scarcely believable upset this week to reach the semi-finals at Roland Garros. Boisson dropped to the clay with her hands over her eyes in emotional scenes before cupping her ear to the crowd on a packed, raucous Court Philippe-Chatrier. It was all too much for Russian teenager Andreeva, who had two set points in the first but suffered a complete meltdown in the second after squandering a 3-0 lead. She told the crowd to "shut up", received a code violation for whacking a ball into the stands, burst into tears and forced her mother Raisa to leave her box. Roared on under the roof of Chatrier, Boisson won the final six games of the match Boisson, who suffered a career-threatening ACL injury before what was supposed to be her debut here last year, will be comfortably inside the top 100 after this fairytale run. Appropriately, on her right arm, she has a simple tattoo: RESILIENCE. But she is playing like a top-10 player. She has now beaten the third seed, Jessica Pegula, and the sixth. Second seed Coco Gauff awaits on Thursday for a place in the final. "It's incredible. Thank you for supporting me like this — I have no words," Boisson told a delirious home crowd. "I ran a bit too much because I was so tense early on," she said. "But I fought hard in that first set, which was so intense. At the start of the second, I felt a little empty, but I hung in there and finished the job." Earlier, Gauff huffed and puffed to a 6-7 (8-6) 6-4 6-1 victory against fellow American Madison Keys in a error-strewn match both players will want to forget quickly. More than half of Gauff's points came from the Australian Open champion's mistakes and the world No.2 got away with a total of 10 double faults. Altogether there were over a 100 errors. The 21-year-old will need to make dramatic adjustments when she faces Boisson for a place in Sunday's final. Keys, who was looking to reach the last four at Roland Garros for the second time after 2018, bowed out with her 60th unforced error to end a forgettable contest. "I'm happy to get through this match today, I have a lot more work to do, I'll be ready tomorrow," Gauff said. Gauff, who reached the final here in 2022, is the youngest woman to claim 25 main-draw wins at Roland Garros since Martina Hingis (1995-2000). While the quality was patchy at best, the drama was undeniable, with momentum swinging wildly. In the end, Keys edged the tiebreaker in the first set as Gauff double-faulted three times. Things did not get better in the second set. "So many unforced errors," Gauff said on court, in one of the understatements of the season. She levelled the contest as Keys looked out of sorts and cantered through the decider.

Lewis Hamilton's social media following dwarfs rest of Formula One grid
Don't miss out on the headlines from F1. Followed categories will be added to My News. From recreating a famous scene from a cult Hollywood movie to high-end fashion shoots, 'iconic' team debuts and daredevil exploits away from the track – one driver is the clear-cut king of social media on the Formula 1 grid. His first season for Ferrari might not be humming as much as he would like, but seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton remains far-and-away the most popular driver based on his huge social media following. The undisputed 'rock star' of the F1 grid, the British driver is open to sharing his passions away from the track with his fans – and they lap it up. Hamilton has a combined following of more than 48 million across platforms Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), more than double the next closest driver – his Monegasque Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc (22 million combined). Red Bull's four-time world champion Max Verstappen has more than 18 million combined followers, while Australia's championship leader Oscar Piastri has almost 5 million across both Instagram and X. While Hamilton shares plenty of action from race days like most of the other drivers, it is his fashion-forward life away from the track which has opened him up to a massive audience. The 40-year-old almost broke the internet when he shared the first image of himself as a Ferrari driver in January wearing a double-breasted suit and long black coat standing alongside a Ferrari F40 out the front of team founder Enzo Ferrari's old house in Maranello. The image, which was dubbed 'iconic' by his former Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, had more than 56K comments on it on Instagram, including fellow Brits Lando Norris replying 'Don' and his former Silver Arrows teammate George Russell 'Auguri fratello'. PREMIUM CONTENT 'Coolest driver in F1 history': How Piastri pulled off the impossible 'What are you doing?': Teen mates lift lid on young Oscar's wild start In March, Hamilton also set the web alight when he celebrated his first season at Ferrari by recreating an iconic scene from cult 1980s movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. In the scene featuring his 'dream car', Hamilton plays the garage employee who takes the Ferrari owned by Cameron Frye's father for a joy ride through the Chicago streets. The video, which landed just before the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and his first race with the Scuderia, also went viral on social media. 'No better way to start the season than by fulfilling another dream,' Hamilton wrote on Instagram. 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off has been one of my favourite movies since I was a kid. This is to pay homage to the iconic film and to celebrate my first season with Ferrari. 'It definitely took a lot of cutting edge tech, production and planning to get right. Had to get the exact car too … it's been a dream car since seeing the movie.' Hamilton also regularly appears in fashion shoots on his social media, including his iconic looks from the Met Gala. He has also shown his adrenaline-chasing exploits away from the track, sharing videos of himself skydiving, surfing and on the ski slopes. Hamilton's beloved bulldog, Roscoe, has also featured regularly in his social media feed. Social media's next most popular driver on the grid, Leclerc also isn't afraid to have a bit of fun on social media, posting a video last week testing his speed off the track with an attempt at cracking the world record for the most ice-cream cones scooped in one minute (he didn't succeed). He has also flaunted his talent away from the cockpit as a pianist tinkering the ivories with his faithful canine companion, Leo, sitting at his feet. Like Roscoe, Leo also features often in Leclerc's social media feed and even has his own Instagram account. Leclerc's home town of Monaco provides a picturesque backdrop for many of his fashion collaboration shoots, while he has also shared his off-season snowscapades. Piastri might be leading the drivers' championship standings, but the Melbourne-born star is still building his social following. The title frontrunner posts mostly about his days at the track and some behind the scenes of his training and preparation, but has shared some personal snaps alongside his girlfriend Lily Zneimer holidaying during the off-season and some sweet images of himself as a kid. Piastri's love of cricket also features, sharing his catch-ups with the Australian cricket team, including a picture alongside captain Pat Cummins captioned: 'Bowling royalty meets part-time medium pacer'. But the 24-year-old's mic-drop moment on social media happened before his F1 career had even taken off in August, 2022, when he famously rejected Alpine's announcement that he would be racing for the team the following year. Piastri's viral tweet had 392K likes, was shared 97K times and had 13,000 comments. 'I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them next year. This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Alpine for 2023. I will not be driving for Alpine next year,' Piastri wrote. Piastri also shares images of his regular paddle ball battles, which has become a favourite pastime among many of the F1 cohort. Verstappen prefers to focus on his action at the track, but has shared some personal snaps alongside his partner Kelly Piquet and, most recently, celebrating the birth of their first child together, a daughter named Lily. 'Welcome to the world, sweet Lily,' Verstappen wrote. 'Our hearts are fuller than ever – you are our greatest gift. We love you so much.' Verstappen's love of sim racing also features regularly, with the Dutch champion recently featuring in a social media video from his sim racing team cutting a virtual lap of Mount Panorama. Piastri's teammate Lando Norris' interest in photography features heavily in his timeline with the McLaren star often pictured with his own camera in hand. Norris, who boasts the fifth most followers on Instagram with 10 million, had more than 8000 comments on a picture he posted last year of Verstappen and himself from their karting days congratulating his Red Bull rival on his fourth straight championship. 'Congrats on the 4th title in a row mate, awesome drive this year. Was fun fighting you for it. Feels like yesterday we took this pic in karting,' Norris wrote on Instagram. The Brit's most viewed video on Tik Tok was a collaboration with Australian Olympic gold-medal winning skateboarder Keegan Palmer, which had 11.7m views. The drivers aren't afraid to engage in a bit of banter, either, with Russell last week quipping on his social media that 'Dinner (is) on you tonight Albono!!!' to Alex Albon after the Williams driver held him up during the Monaco Grand Prix. Albon replied, 'I'll take you to a drive thru' with a laughing emoji. He did end up taking Russell out to dinner and picked up the bill, revealing ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix the Mercedes star ordered a lobster pasta, but skipped on dessert. The fourth most followed driver on Instagram, Williams' 'smooth operator' Carlos Sainz shares his love of cycling regularly and the slick Spaniard captured plenty of attention wearing a tuxedo to attend this year's Cannes film festival. In a nod to the original smooth agent, 007 James Bond, Sainz posted a playful video having fun with his on-track nickname. 'My name is Operator. Smooth Operator,' Sainz said before walking off laughing. The Instagram video before his walk on the Cannes red carpet captured almost 8000 comments.

Error-fest as Gauff downs Keys to reach Open semis
Coco Gauff huffed and puffed into the French Open semi-finals with a 6-7 (8-6) 6-4 6-1 victory against fellow American Madison Keys in a error-infested match both players will quickly want to forget. More than half of Gauff's points came from the Australian Open champion soft mistakes and the world No.2 got away with a total of 10 double faults. Altogether there were over a 100 errors. The 21-year-old will need to make dramatic adjustments when she faces either France's Lois Boisson or Russian sixth seed Mirra Andreeva for a place in Sunday's final. Keys, who was looking to reach the last four at Roland Garros for the second time after 2018, bowed out with her 60th unforced error to end a forgettable contest. "I'm happy to get through this match today, I have a lot more work to do, I'll be ready tomorrow," Gauff said. "I changed something at 4-1 (in the first set). It's tough to play against her because she hits the ball so fast, so low, I was just trying to fight for every point ... to get the ball to the other side of the net." Gauff, who reached the final here in 2022, is the youngest woman to claim 25 main-draw wins at Roland Garros since Martina Hingis (1995-2000). The opening set was a scrappy affair, with the first three games going against serve. Keys secured the first hold to lead 3-1 and broke again before Gauff clawed back a break and held for the first time to close the gap to 4-3. In a flurry of breaks, Gauff levelled at 4-4 and held once more to edge ahead, putting the pressure on Keys, who saved a set point to force a tiebreak. While the quality was patchy at best, the drama was undeniable, with momentum swinging wildly. In the end, Keys edged the tiebreak as Gauff double-faulted three times, handing the opener to her opponent. Things did not get better in the second set.
