BBC News18-05-2025
A member of the UK's Eurovision entry Remember Monday says she lost her wedding ring in video posted the morning after their Basel performance."I've lost my wedding ring and my engagement ring," Holly-Anne Hull said in a video posted on Instagram on Sunday. In the video, the singer and her two bandmates are sat on a plane, seemingly leaving Switzerland. Hull did not give further details, such as where she might have lost the ring or when it happened.The country-pop trio came 19th of the 26 countries in this year's Eurovision Song Contest with their track What The Hell Just Happened.
Hull got married in Surrey in June 2023. In the video posted on Instagram the group parodied the lyrical style of their entry - which tells the tale of the morning after a big night out - saying they are still wearing "last night's hair gel" and their knees hurt. before Hull jokes: "I'm gonna have a breakdown 'cause I've lost my wedding ring."Lauren Byrne adds the trio are "so grateful" for their supporters and Charlotte Steele says their fans are "amazing".Remember Monday got 88 points on Saturday night, all of which were from the jury - like last year's entrant Olly Alexander, the band received no points from the public vote.Austrian singer JJ won the competition with his electro-ballad Wasted Love, with a total of 436 votes, after beating Israel at the last minute.Estonia came third, followed by Sweden, which had been the frontrunner going into Saturday night. The country's entrant, comedy troupe KAJ, performed Bara Bada Bastu, a song about saunas, which has has topped Swedish music charts for three months.
Though Remember Monday's song performed poorly with the public vote, the group came joint 10th in the jury vote, along with Finland, and Italy even gave the UK its 12 points. The trio, who all have musical theatre backgrounds, danced around a giant chandelier in Bridgerton-inspired colourful dresses as they sang about the aftermath of a big night out, where they lost their keys, broke their heels and went to bed in their make-up. The BBC's music correspondent Mark Savage wrote that the band "got a lot of things right" and "hit every harmony in their song... with pinpoint precision". But the public was less convinced. Only one other country, host nation Switzerland, got zero from the public vote.Remember Monday, who met at sixth-form college in Farnborough studying performing arts, have been friends for 12 years, and quit their jobs in late 2023 to be in the band full-time. They were announced as the UK's Eurovision entry in March.Earlier this month the group announced a UK and Ireland tour, and are performing at events including the Capital Summertime Ball, Latitude festival and the Isle of Wight Festival this summer.They called Saturday night "one of the most surreal and emotional moments of our lives".

Mark Chapman opens with quip as Match of the Day begins life after Gary Lineker

Mark Chapman opened with a joke as he introduced the first Saturday night Match of the Day since Gary Lineker 's departure from the show. Chapman is one of three new presenters on the BBC 's Saturday night highlights show, rotating with Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan, and was first up in the chair at the start of the new season. Introducing the show, Chapman said: 'The Premier League is back and Match of the Day is back. You may have seen and heard there's a big change to the show this season, and that is that Wayne Rooney has joined is us as a regular pundit. 'Some things don't change though, and Alan (Shearer) is still here.' Former England captain Rooney, 39, has joined the show after leaving his most recent spell in management at Plymouth back in December. Chapman, 51, has previously hosted Match of the Day when Lineker was unavailable, and was the regular host of the Sunday show, Match of the Day 2. From this season, the Sunday highlights, as well as the new Champions League highlights show, will all be known as Match of the Day. On Wednesday, Cates hosted a programme to preview the new Premier League season alongside Rooney, Danny Murphy and Julien Laurens. Logan is due to host Match of the Day's Sunday night programme this week. Lineker's final show came at the end of last season on 26 May in a long-planned move. The 64-year-old had planned to front the BBC's live coverage of the FA Cup and 2026 World Cup, but brought forward his departure following a social media row in which he shared a post about Zionism featuring a depiction of a rat, historically used as an antisemitic trope. Lineker, the BBC's highest-paid presenter and host of Match of the Day since 1999, apologised unreservedly for the post but said it was 'best for all concerned' if he left completely.

Junior Andre makes sad admission about 'overcoming challenges' after Princess' TV success

Katie Price and Peter Andre's son Junior, 20, first made his music debut three years ago with track Slide, which went viral on TikTok and launched him into the spotlight Junior Andre has candidly opened up about the "challenges" he has faced as he desperately tries to launch his music career. ‌ Katie Price and Peter Andre's son, 20, first made his music debut three years ago with track Slide, which went viral on TikTok and launched him into the spotlight. Yet despite signing his first record deal just months after the song, he's been hit with a number of delays as he attempts to release further songs. ‌ It comes as his sister Princess has seen huge success with her ITV2 reality show while launching her career as an influencer. ‌ Junior admitted that he has been "overcoming a couple of challenges" and "isn't putting pressure" on himself. READ MORE: Peter Andre shares united family snap as Katie Price hits back with 'sinners' statement Speaking to The Sun, he said: "It's nothing that I can't beat but it will be good in due time. Don't sleep on me - trust me, it's coming hot!" It's unsurprising that Junior has gone down the music route considering dad Peter rocketed to fame for his hit single Mysterious Girl. Katie also dipped her toe into the singing world when he auditioned for Eurovision in 2005 with her song Not Just Anybody. But she didn't stop there and went on to release a duet album with Peter, who she was married to at the time, called A Whole New World. In 2010, she released Free To Love Again and then a 2017 song called I Got U and another titled Hurricane. Since then, she has also regularly performed at various events across the country. It comes as Princess spoke out after her dad Peter Andre unleashed a scathing statement towards ex-wife Katie Price. The statement came as the fallout between the pair intensified as Princess, 18, released her debut solo TV project. ‌ The teen shared her life on screen in ITV documentary The Princess Diaries. And while dad Pete, 52, featured throughout, Katie was fuming that the producers opted to go ahead without input from her. Now, after her dad's outburst, Princess has broken her silence on the feud. Princess addressed the feud as she answered a question about her parents on Snapchat. ‌ One fan asked her on the platform: "Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don't get on?' Princess then said in a video on the platform: "To be honest it doesn't affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together." Writing on top of the clip, she added: "I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters xxx." ‌ It comes after her dad Peter Andre shared an Instagram post in which he raged: "For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. ‌ "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement." He went on: "I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children. In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases, found my ex-wife had made false claims. "She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months." Following his claims, a spokesperson for Katie told the Mirror: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslight [sic] and bullied as she once was..."

Woman shocks in extremely skimpy two-piece outfit & stunning long legs – but you'll never guess her age

A GLAM 60-year-old mum has stunned people with a ''shallow and awful'' outfit she rocked whilst everyone else was bracing for rain in coats and umbrellas. Stylish Sue Giers, from Hamburg, Germany, previously confessed that trolls tell her to 'dress her age' and call her a 'granny' - but she loves wearing everything from hot pants to stilettos. 2 The blonde beauty is no stranger to causing a stir with her daring outfits online - and one of the latest ensembles is no exception. In the now-viral clip, which appears to have been shot on a chillier day, the bombshell proudly flaunted her toned body in a skimpy two-piece in public. The business owner looked phenomenal, wearing a floral two-piece and showing off her never-ending slim legs in sky-high strappy heels. Sue, who previously confessed that being ''basic'' is not in her ''DNA'' - strutted around, as she gave the viewers and strangers on the street a look at her daring outfit. The show-stopper of a two-piece featured a low-cut back, as well as strappy detailing paired with a figure-hugging mini skirt. Meanwhile, while Sue was dressed for sizzling hot weather, it appears that the temperatures that day were not as high - as everyone else in the background was keeping cosy with coats and long-sleeve jumpers, carrying umbrellas. But while Sue was clearly feeling herself, the comment section was divided - with many dubbing the stylish mum ''an attention seeker' '. Another agreed, writing: ''Put some clothes on. I don't care how old you are.'' ''That outfit is awful,'' one of the 1.9million viewers shared their brutal verdict. Woman shocks with outfit that shows 'zero class' as she walks down the beach promenade with one butt cheek fully out ''That is not hot. And even if it were, the shallowness of that is unbecoming. Let's be better,'' someone else urged. Luckily for the German fashionista, it wasn't all negative - as there were also plenty of fans hitting back at the keyboard warriors. ''She's just existing loudly in a world that tells women to shrink as they age,'' wrote one Instagram user. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. ''And the fact that so many of you see that and respond with hate? That's not about her - that's your own fear talking.'' Another echoed, writing: ''she looks great, deserves to feel confident and is trying to inspire other women her age to do so. do better girls.'' For Sue, however, it's more than just about clothes - it's also a reflection of how far she's come. The mum wrote previously said: ''These pieces aren't just fabric: they're a celebration of the journey that brought me here. ''From moments of uncertainty to moments of pure confidence, my style reflects the courage to embrace every stage of life with grace and authenticity. ''I hope to inspire others to redefine ageing and beauty, showing that true style knows no age. ''Let's continue to empower each other to boldly express ourselves and live life to the fullest!'' Sue reminded in the uplifting post.
