Samie Elishi fails to acknowledge boyfriend Sam Thompson's charity challenge after he insisted he DIDN'T want her there
LOVE Island star Samie Elishi has publicly ignored her boyfriend Sam Thompson's completion of his gruelling 260-mile challenge. Samie, 25, has remained silent on social media despite 32-year-old Sam limping across the finish line at Old Trafford this morning. 6 6 6 Sam broke down in tears as he reached the end of his five-day journey from Stamford Bridge, which he completed by running and cycling. But there to greet him at the finish line was his sister Louise, her partner Ryan Libbey and their son Leo. Samie was believed to still be in London after spending Thursday night at a Secret House Party in Soho with Stormzy and US rapper Nelly. Before setting off on his challenge, which has raised more than £1million for Soccer Aid and Unicef, Sam ruled out Samie making an appearance. Despite dating the Love Island star since April, he was cheered off the starting line by Louise and Ryan. Sam was asked by Mail Online if Samie would be there to support him during the five-day challenge, but he replied: "I feel like... this is so much more than who I'm dating or hooking up with. "And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean? "You know, If I had a wife or something like, like a girlfriend of years it might be a different. "I just think that I don't want to do anything that will take away from this challenge and Unicef - the spotlight needs to be on them." Last week, The Sun told how Sam and Samie were "still together" after being spotted kissing in the street at the beginning of May. Sam Thompson breaks down in tears as he's comforted by sister Louise and family after completing 260-mile endurance challenge on This Morning The King of the Jungle moved on with Love Island beauty Samie in April after his split from girlfriend Zara McDermott. But they abruptly stopped exchanging flirty Instagram likes and messages, and have not been seen out together in weeks. Samie also failed to support Sam during his emotional announcement that he's been diagnosed with autism. A source said: "They're still very much together, but are taking it slow. "They're not interested in putting on a show for people and want to get to know each other properly away from the public eye." Meanwhile, Sam crossed the finish line of his Soccer Aid challenge live on ITV1's This Morning on Friday. He had suffered a tear in his calf but managed to limp to the end with his leg in a bandage. Sam had been transporting the Soccer Aid ball ahead of this year's charity match, which takes place on Sunday June 15. During his five-day stint, Sam was surprised by his best friend Pete Wicks. Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom also spurred him on as he neared the end. At the time of crossing the finish line, Sam had raised £1,516,433 for Unicef. 6 6 6

David Beckham's knighthood demonstrates everything wrong with the honours system
There's a lot of noise around David Beckham this week – and, for once, it's not about the supposed feud involving him and Victoria with their son Brooklyn and Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz. All the signs are that the former England footballer is to be given a knighthood in the forthcoming King's Birthday Honours. Many will see it as a well-deserved accolade for a man who played more than 100 times for his country and captained the England squad. And he has since gone on to do his bit for charity, from UNICEF to being an ambassador for the King's Foundation. When certain celebrities skipped the queue, Beckham patiently waited in line with the rest of us to pay his respects to Elizabeth II during her lying in state in Westminster Hall. But while it's good to learn that Becks will soon become Sir David, it's less encouraging that the kind of people who really deserve gongs – the volunteers who are the backbone of Britain – have been ignored these past few days, despite the fact that this has been Volunteers Week. This is supposed to be the time of year when we hear about the people who litter pick, visit the elderly, give children extra help with reading, serve teas on hospital stalls – and even save lives by manning lifeboats. But Volunteers Week has been well under the radar. With the King's Birthday Honours coming up, the attention will be not only on Sir David, but all kinds of other celebrities too. Scour the honours lists when they are published in a few days time and the chances are that, as usual, the top gongs will go to other sports stars as well as musicians to join Sir Mick, Sir Paul, Sir Elton, Sir Rod, and Sir Cliff in the pop pantheon. There's bound to be yet another theatrical dame. Meanwhile, well-paid local authority chief executives and elite civil servants will also secure honours, as if the high salary and equally sizeable pension isn't enough for a would-be Sir Humphrey. This system is now so broken that the people who truly deserve recognition – the volunteers on whom Britain relies to give their time and skills for free – receive the lowlier gongs if any mention at all. I doubt any of them do it in the hope they will one day secure an OBE or a British Empire Medal. But a little more recognition would surely go a long way. It particularly matters now because recognition puts the spotlight on volunteering – something worryingly in decline. Balancing family and your job, irregular working hours, and the women who might once have volunteered because they didn't work but now have fulfilling careers – all these are reasons why fewer people step up to help in all kinds of endeavours, from scout groups to nature reserves. Covid didn't help, either: many older volunteers disappeared during the pandemic and didn't return. This is why publicity is vital. Those of us who do volunteer – and mine is hardly in the saving lives on a lifeboat category, but instead involves a few hours being a guide in an idyllic garden – know how personally beneficial it is. You learn new skills, meet people, spend some time out of the house. It's the ideal incentive for putting down your smartphone: you can't volunteer if you are glued to a screen. These personal benefits are matched by the benefits to society. Back in 2020, the National Churches Trust did some groundbreaking research which assessed that the contribution to society as a whole of churches – and most of the benefit was the support services churches provide, such as lunch clubs, youth groups and food banks – was worth a remarkable £55 billion to the economy. But there's another reason why volunteering matters. It's about the kind of country we live in. It's vital that the temptation for services to be taken over by the state is resisted – not just because we can't afford it financially, but we can't afford it in terms of what it would do to society. A statist society loses something profound – a sense that as individuals we can contribute something not for financial gain or because we're ordered to do so but out of a sense of service. We need that reflected in the honours system before it's lost for good.
