Meet the 10-year-old DJ heading off to festivals this summer
Meet Eden - or DJ Steady - as she's also know.She's got a super-busy summer ahead, getting ready to perform at festivals across the UK and in Europe.That's because for the past two years she's been spinning decks and playing music in venues across the country. But it isn't Taylor Swift or Sabrina Carpenter on her playlist, Eden says she prefers "jungle music, drum and bass and afro-house."
It all started when Eden was eight years old and her dad bought her some DJ decks.Since then she's been practising and perfecting her skills.And the hard work paid off, she hosted a show at her own ninth birthday party and went on to be a finalist at Mix Master, a competition for adult DJs.Eden said: "Most of my friends like pop music... but I like fast music rather than music with loads of lyrics," she added.Since then, the rising star has played countless gigs at venues in the UK and she's getting ready to head to the party island of Ibiza to DJ there this summer too.Eden says that she loves playing music, even though it can sometimes feel a little scary.She explained: "Before I go on, I'm a little bit nervous. When I'm up there I can't help but smile but sometimes I don't smile because I'm concentrating."It just makes me feel really good when I'm up there."

Prince Andrew appears in high spirits as he enjoys horse ride around Windsor
Prince Andrew looked to be in high spirits as he joined his late mother's long-standing stud groom Terry Pendry for a horse ride around Windsor today. The King's younger brother, 65, beamed in excitement as he sported riding gear, including a helmet and gloves, along with a khaki jacket this afternoon. Alongside him was Mr Pendry, who rode with Queen Elizabeth for 28 years and was one of her most loved and trusted servants. On July 18, 2022, less than eight weeks before her death, she came down to the stables as usual to see her beloved horse Emma, bringing the steed a bag of carrots. There was, Mr Pendry has said, a quiet sense of finality to the 96-year-old's purpose, although nothing was said. The servant, who at one time looked after around 100 of the Royal Family 's horses and ponies, said: 'The very last time with her wasn't a ride, I walked. She was quite frail. 'She actually ended up being smaller than Queen Elizabeth [her mother], her last four years when she was quite poorly.' This afternoon, Mr Pendry sported a button-up shirt and tie along with a beige riding helmet as he joined Prince Andrew for the day out. Elsewhere, snaps from the day showed the royal at the wheel of a car, sporting a burgundy top. It comes amid a tumultuous time for Charles's brother, after Virginia Giuffre 's lawyer demanded an apology from Andrew in the wake of her death - after her family revealed she was prevented from seeing her children for months before she died. Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored in April, David Boies said the Prince had to take responsibility and even went on to request King Charles to intervene. 'I'd like to have him say, "I'm sorry", he sort of said that, but I'd like him to be more direct about that,' the acclaimed American attorney said defiantly on the talk show. 'I'd like him to say, even if he doesn't remember what happened, I think he needs to recognise that he had, he clearly had sex with young girls, with Jeffrey Epstein. 'I mean, he may not remember that it was Virginia, but he can't forget the event. And he needs to just come clean.' Virginia claimed Jeffrey Epstein and former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell kept her as a sex slave, flying her around the world for sex with powerful associates. She later accused the Duke of York of sexually assaulting her when she was 17 after she was trafficked to London. It led to him 'stepping back' from public life in 2019. He has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing. She then launched a civil lawsuit, alleging she was coerced into having sex with him. In 2022 the Duke agreed an out-of-court settlement – thought to be between £3 million and £12 million – despite denying he sexually abused her. The mother-of-three was found dead at her farm near Perth, Australia, on April 25, in what was believed to have been a suicide. Following her sudden death at the age of 41, Boies said: 'It's just a question of taking responsibility, accepting responsibility for what happened. Maybe he has a version of what happened, but he can't deny that he was with her. 'I mean, you've got the photograph, you've got the testimony from other people. Continuing to deny he didn't know her, he never met her, he had nothing to do with her. That's not productive. It's also not right. 'I think that he needs to take responsibility for what he did. Virginia was always more interested in fighting the sin than attacking the sinner, and I think that she would have accepted Prince Andrew taking responsibility, and would have recognised that. 'And I think that it's not too late. It's never too late… If he wants redemption, if he wants forgiveness, he's got to take responsibility for what happened. 'He came pretty close in that statement. It was a step in the right direction. And I think I hoped, and I think Virginia hoped, that he would take the next step as well. Andrew was pictured behind the wheel of a car from photos taken this afternoon, when he enjoyed a horse ride 'Unfortunately, for whatever reason, maybe his advisors, he didn't. But I think, as I say, it's not too late for him or for anyone'. MailOnline approached Prince Andrew's representatives for comment at the time. Karrie Louden, Giuffre's lawyer, told The Sun that the mother had showed 'no signs' of wanting to end her life. 'We've got big question marks over it. There's suicide, then there's misadventure', she said. Louden added that Virginia was planning the future, and looking forward to it just this time last week, and that 'things were positive'. 'The police were just very, very vague. I know that she's gone but I don't know. I'm not sure we'll ever know'. The Perth coroner confirmed their own investigation, but the report could take two years. Before she died, family members had expressed fears over her mental state. Her father Sky Roberts said his daughter was 'very depressed' and 'in really bad shape'. Speaking to People, Roberts explained his daughter had been grappling with the complexities of a restraining order her husband had taken out against her in February that prevented her from seeing her children aged 19, 16, and 15, until June. He claimed she had violated the order, which she denied. 'It's the worst pain in the world to not have access to your children,' Roberts said. 'Can you imagine the pain? I will tell you, all the physical (pain) will never amount to the pain of being separated from your children in that way.' Before she died, Virginia had been allegedly physically abused by her husband of 22 years, Robert Giuffre, the father of her three children, from whom she separated in 2023, Sky and sister-in-law Amanda said. Her husband has not responded to the allegations. Friends of the 41-year-old also said Giuffre was 'deeply upset' about being mocked over a picture she posted of herself in a hospital bed last month. She claimed she had been involved in a car crash that left her with only four days to live – but the accident was nothing more than a minor bump. A spokesman for Virginia said she had 'made a mistake' and had not intended to make the post public. But it led to claims that the episode had destroyed her credibility, with some of Andrew's supporters calling her a 'fantasist'. Emergency services received a report about a woman found unresponsive at a home in Neergabby, 12 miles north of Perth, at about 9.50pm local time on Friday. She was declared dead at the scene. 'She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking,' said her family's statement. Two weeks earlier, Virginia posted several photographs of her three 'beautiful babies', writing: 'I miss them so very much. I have been through hell and back in my 41 years but this is incredibly hurting me worse than anything else. Hurt me, abuse me but don't take my babies. My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens.' Following her death, Boies told Piers Morgan: 'She was an extraordinarily strong woman, ultimately brought down by years of abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and then later years of verbal abuse and attacks by [his] collaborators, but she accomplished a great deal without her courage and without her coming forward, Jeffrey Epstein would probably still be abusing young girls'.

Fans slam Love Island as boring as they notice one major change in series' first week - and call for MORE bombshells as two new boys enter
Love Island fans weren't hugely impressed with Wednesday night's episode as they slammed it as being 'boring'. Despite new bombshells Remell and Shea entering on the instalment for a racy game of truth or dare, many at home were left noticing one major change in the series' first week. Three episodes in and there haven't been any challenges yet - which often stir things up and create drama. During the episode fans penned on X: 'Uk love island is so boring my goodness #LoveIsland.', 'None of the contestants on love island interest me, They are all boring tbh.', From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Despite new bombshells Remell and Shea entering on the instalment for a racy game of truth or dare, many at home were left noticing one major change in the series' first week 'Hopefully these bombshells change the dynamics of this boring villa #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK.', 'love island uk is so boring.', 'You know a season of Love Island is boring when the ads are more exciting then the show #LoveIsland.', 'Love island needs to go back to the first 5 series of the show or it's going to fail.. it's getting to that point where it might just need a few years off. It's getting boring! #loveisland.', 'UK Love Island is sooooooooo boring convos are so dry i cant wait until USA releases #LoveIsland.' On the episode Ben and Toni clashed in the fallout from Sophie's brutal elimination from the villa as he 'got the ick'. The ITV2 dating show returned to our screens on Monday night, with presenter Maya Jama welcoming 12 new Islanders to Mallorca to find love. But the dating hopefuls were left shaken on last night's show, only the second episode of this series, as Sophie was dumped from the Island. It came after bombshell Toni entered the villa on Monday and stole Ben from Shakira, leaving her single and at risk of being sent home. During the episode fans penned on X: 'Uk love island is so boring my goodness #LoveIsland...' A day later, Maya asked any boy interested in her to stand up, one of whom Shakira would couple up with - and she chose Harry, leaving Sophie single and heading home. In Wednesday's episode, new couple Toni and Ben clashed over Sophie's brutal elimination - leaving Ben unsure about their budding romance. Chatting in a small group, Toni reflected that the next Islander to go might be one of the lads: 'Boys, it's your turn, just saying - I don't think you're gonna be safe.' Ben replied sharply: 'Are you saying me in particular?' The American bombshell shoots back, 'No, it's about boys, not everything is about you' - which saw an irritated Ben storm off. His extreme reaction left the other Islanders shocked, with Meg later saying to him: 'That was a bit much... I don't get what she said that was really offensive?' Ben explained: 'She said, "Not everything is about you..." I just got the ick.' He then confessed this to Shakira too - who told Toni what he has said and suggested she pull him for a chat about it. Toni does not need to be told twice, sitting Ben down to ask: 'I've heard from people you said I'm giving you the ick?'

Trump reveals the 'unusual' classical musical instrument he used to play as a child
President Donald Trump has revealed which classical instrument he practiced when he was a youngster. Speaking with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her Pod Force One podcast this week, the Republican shared that he showed an ear for music at an early age. 'I played, like very short periods of time, the flute,' Trump revealed. 'Do you believe that?' 'I had flute lessons,' the president continued flashing a smile. 'That's the first person that's ever asked me that crazy question.' 'I could have been a flutist,' he joked. The Republican's mother urged a young Donald Trump to take up lessons, Trump shared. 'My mother had me with, I had instructors, an instructor coming to teach me how to play the flute,' he added. He began playing around age 11 or 12 after taking an 'aptitude' test that showed he was gifted musically, Trump said. 'I think I have an ear for music,' the 78-year-old proclaimed. The president has a varied taste in music ranging from disco anthems like YMCA to American classics from Frank Sinatra, and even opera. 'I play great music,' Trump said on the podcast. 'People like the music I play.' Though, when it came to the flute lessons, he shared: 'I didn't particularly like it, wasn't for me.' The Republican admitted that his musical selection was an 'unusual instrument' and that he doubts he can still play. 'They came up to my father, they said, 'your son is brilliant at music. He can be an incredible musician,'' Trump recounted to the columnist during a 45-minute interview. 'This is not what my father wanted to hear,' the president continued. 'You know, this was not the greatest thing ever.' The president revealed that as a kid he used to be able to recall which musical notes were played hours before, impressing his teachers. 'They play a note and, like, on a piano, and then I remember to this day, and then they ask you other questions, and then they play notes later on and say which is the note we played from one hour ago.' 'And I'd like get it right, I guess, but that was a long time ago,' Trump said. 'But I do have an ear for music.' Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2015 Trump revealed some of his favorite bands, adding he is also friends with some of the top musicians in the world. 'Aerosmith and Steven Tyler are terrific. Jon Bon Jovi is a great guy. Pavarotti was a dear friend of mine.' 'I knew Michael Jackson very well, he had tremendous talent. Paul McCartney is a terrific guy,' Trump said during his 2015 campaign.
