Chelsea striker Liam Delap's influencer girlfriend confirms split from the Blues' new £30m star after year-long relationship
Liam Delap's now-ex-girlfriend has confirmed that she has parted ways with the new Chelsea striker. Delap joined Chelsea from Ipswich Town following an impressive campaign in Premier League last term with the newly-promoted Tractor Boys, signing for the Blues ahead of the Club World Cup. The English striker would go on to help power the Blues to a surprise crown, beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final, and will now battle it out with Joao Pedro and Nicolas Jackson for the starting role up top. However, while the 22-year-old was away, his former partner Leanna Paul, a 25-year-old model and social media influencer, is thought to have ended the relationship with Delap. Now, though, she has confirmed the split, responding to a Q&A on Instagram with the news. Asked whether she was single, Paul wrote: 'Don't usually like talking about my personal life on here, I like to keep that private. 'But since I keep getting asked... yes I am single.' The news comes after weeks of speculation over the couple's relationship status since his move to Chelsea. At the time of the Club World Cup, she had released a cryptic statement on Instagram, which went some way to shedding light on the situation. One post read: 'You can't keep someone loyal by loving them harder.' Delap, though, clearly wasn't letting his personal life impact his playing career, as he helped Chelsea pick up their second bit of silverware in just a few months. Delap scored his first Chelsea goal during their 3-0 win over Esperance Tunis earlier in the competition, and would play six times in the competition, also providing an assist. Paul had been dating Chelsea's new striker for over a year, only for the relationship to now come to an end. The club starts its Premier League campaign at home to Crystal Palace on August 17th.

Luke Littler requires stirring comeback to beat Jermaine Wattimena
Littler fell 4-0 and 7-2 behind but charged back into an 8-7 lead, the match then going to a tiebreaker before the teenager made it into the quarter-finals. Littler looked in ominous form with his crushing 10-2 win over Ryan Searle on Sunday but the tables were turned early on here. LITTLER WINS AN EPIC! ☢️ The comeback is complete! Luke Littler recovers from 7-2 down to deny Jermaine Wattimena in a World Matchplay classic! 📺 #MatchplayDarts | R2 — PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) July 23, 2025 Wattimena meant business and stormed into a 4-0 lead that left heads spinning in the Winter Gardens. Littler took the next two but it was only a temporary reprieve as Wattimena rediscovered his rhythm, making it 7-2 with back-to-back 180s part of an 11-darter. When Littler pulled back the next leg he gestured to the crowd, pointing to the world champion's star on his shirt as he indicated he was not ready to go home yet. And he then set about showing it as he won six legs on the spin, the pressure clearly getting to Wattimena as his earlier poise vanished. The Dutchman recovered to level at 8-8, then punished a Littler miss for 9-9 as the contest went the distance. SEVEN PERFECT DARTS! This is incredible! Jermaine Wattimena goes seven darts into the nine, before rounding off an 11-darter to stretch his lead to 7-2! Littler is on the ropes! 👀 📺 #MatchplayDarts | R2 — PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) July 23, 2025 As it went to extra legs both players were missing their throws before Littler got the D10 he needed to end the fight. 'When I pointed to the star on my shirt, I'm a world champion for a reason, I find these gears when I need it,' Littler said on Sky Sports. 'I've not felt pressure like that since the first round of the world championship. I was a bit nervous and it's on to my third game here, I've won two of them. 'I want to get back on stage and right now I can't wait to be in the quarter-final.' Earlier Gerwyn Price stormed through with an 11-3 rout of Chris Dobey. RECORD AVERAGE IN HIS SIGHTS 🧐 Gerwyn Price is averaging over 115 here in a performance for the ages… He leads 8-2 and needs just three more legs! 📺 #MatchplayDarts | R2 — PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) July 23, 2025 Price left Dobey with little chance, averaging 108.73 and hitting eight 180s in a performance highlighted by a 146 finish that put him 3-0 up. 'It was fantastic,' the Welshman said. 'The middle part of the game I felt like I couldn't miss. I put Chris under a lot of pressure. I think he still played decent in patches. 'I think early on we were both flying and I was just pipping him on a couple of legs, probably disheartened him a little bit. It's a good game for me.' Former UK champion Andrew Gilding made it through to the last eight with an 11-5 win over Dirk van Duijvenbode.
