Bombshell as former Big Bash and state-level cricketer stands accused of child sexual abuse
A last-minute disclosure of evidence has delayed court proceedings against a former Big Bash League and state-level cricketer accused of child sexual abuse. Aaron William Summers, 29, is accused of penetrative sexual abuse of a child or young person and grooming with the intention of exposing a child or young person to indecent material. Summers played one game for the Hobart Hurricanes in late 2017 and three one-day games for Tasmania after making his debut in 2018. The offences allegedly occurred in Hobart on January 16, 2018 - when Summers was part of the Hurricanes BBL roster. He appeared in Hobart Magistrates Court on Friday via phone from Perth. His lawyer Caroline Graves said she had received an '11th-hour' disclosure which would take up to four weeks to review closely. The matter was adjourned to September 8 and Summers' bail was continued. He was extradited from the Northern Territory to Tasmania in April and is yet to enter a plea to the charges. Magistrate Andrew McKee said the matter could be committed to the Supreme Court of Tasmania. Summers, a fast bowler, became the first foreign player to play in Pakistan's revamped domestic cricket competition in 2020. And ahead of his sole BBL appearance for the Hurricanes, Summers bowled quicker than more established stars Jofra Archer and Tymal Mills. 'I know I've got a desirable talent: I'm one of the quickest blokes going around the world,' he previously told The Cricketer magazine. 'That's what I like to do. I get paid to do it. I bowl quick. That's my point of difference.'

Mafs star Holly Ditchfield looks loved-up as she kisses her convicted drug dealer boyfriend after surprise engagement
MARRIED At First Sight star Holly Ditchfield looked loved-up today as she kissed her convicted drug dealer boyfriend. The reality star and partner Aaron Summers, 28, hugged and kissed in Manchester after getting engaged last month. 8 8 Smitten Holly, 29, couldn't stop beaming as she held her man, who wore a chunky silver chain, shades and a white T-shirt. The mum-of-two wore green figure-hugging sportswear and draped a jumper over her shoulders. The outing comes after Holly revealed the moment Aaron popped the question during a romantic date night. He got down on one knee while they dined inside a garden igloo pod, leaving Holly stunned and crying with joy. She captioned the post: "The easiest 'YES'. "You bring the best out of me, you care about my opinion, you make me feel safe with being vulnerable, you allow my imperfect days, we work through conflict, you're my support network, you give me 100 per cent every single day. "I finally understand the meaning of 'finding the one'. I love you." Holly's former MAFS co-stars raced to congratulate the pair. Polly Sellman wrote: "Oh Hol, so happy for you my girl." Kristina Goodsell posted: "So so so happy for you, you deserve the world." Watch MAFS stars make up at emotional reunion after bitter feud Emma Barnes shared: "Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!! Congratulations guys." Aaron, from Dagenham, pleaded guilty to possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply back in 2021. He allegedly cheated on his partner with Holly - and she found out days before giving birth to his third child. Holly is said to have been aware of Aaron's partner's pregnancy, but decided to go Instagram official with him in PDA-filled snaps just three days after the birth. A source told The Sun at the time: '[Holly and Aaron] had been talking for a few weeks and finally met up last weekend. 'He was already in a relationship with a different girl who was heavily pregnant and had the baby on Thursday. They met the day after - Holly fully knows about this. She portrayed herself as a girl's girl on the show. 'Aaron was at the birth and then drove four and a half hours to Holly's house [in Huddersfield]. The baby's mum put the photo of the baby on Facebook on Friday and then Holly posted a photo with Aaron on Sunday.' The couple allegedly met through TikTok earlier this year, where Aaron does content creation work under the username bigazz1. 8 8 Things are said to have moved quickly, according to a source who told The Sun that Aaron had already met Holly's kids. The source continued: 'They started chatting in February - they met through TikTok. 'He has a platform on there - it's where he makes his money. 'Recently he's been posting content about going to Morocco, before that he was trolling people online. 'He also classes himself as a bit of a rapper - but he should just stick to the day job.' Aaron is a father-of-three, with a daughter and a son from two previous relationships - as well as his latest welcome addition. Holly previously failed to find her happy ever after with E4 groom Alex Henry, 28, and split during the MAFS experiment. 8 8 8

MAFS star engaged to convicted drug dealer boyfriend after just weeks of dating
After flogging her Married At First Sight wedding down online, Holly Ditchfield will be walking down the aisle again after Aaron Summers proposed over dinner this weekend Married At First Sight star Holly Ditchfield has announced she is engaged to her convicted drug dealer boyfriend weeks after the pair went official. Father-of-three Aaron Summers popped the question this weekend over dinner after the TikTok personality surprised the reality star on Saturday night. She will be a bride again after her marriage to 28-year-old aviation operator Alex Henry, from Birmingham, crumbled on the E4 show. Days after they started dating, it was revealed Aaron, 28, had pleaded guilty to possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply back in 2021. He also pleaded guilty to being in possession of criminal property. She announced her big news on Instagram, writing: "The easiest 'YES'. You bring the best out of me, you care about my opinion, you make me feel safe with being vulnerable, you allow my imperfect days, we work through conflict, you're my support network, you give me 100 per cent every single day. "I finally understand the meaning of 'finding the one'. I love you." A source told The Sun in March he has been honest with Holly from the start. 'Holly and Aaron had been talking for a few weeks and finally met up last weekend," they said. The 29-year-old reality star from Huddersfield is among the cast of the 2024 season of E4's chaotic dating show - which sees strangers get married the moment they meet. She may regret selling her dress online last year after flogging it on Vinted. She initially planned to sell the gown for £800 but had to slash the price after buyers failed to show interest. Listed as "My MAFS wedding dress", the reality star wrote: "£700 till Friday! ( will deliver or collection is available if local) to save delivery rates." Her original posting image it clear that the dress was worth more than double what she is now asking for. Listed as "My MAFS wedding dress", the reality star wrote: "£700 till Friday!

Back in March, The Sun revealed Aaron, 28, from Dagenham, who pleaded guilty to possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply back in 2021, allegedly cheated on his partner with Holly, and she found out days before giving birth to his third child last week. Holly is said to have been aware of Aaron's partner's pregnancy, but decided to post the PDA-filled snaps just three days after the birth.

But it wasn't his first brush with the law, as the convicted drug dealer was handed a community order and 150 hours of unpaid work at West Sussex Magistrates' Court after he admitted sending text messages which conveyed a threat to cause distress or anxiety in Bognor Regis, back in 2019. The new couple allegedly met through Tiktok earlier this year, where Aaron does content creation work under the username bigazz1. Things are said to have moved quickly with the pair, according to a source, who told The Sun that the convicted drug dealer has already met Holly's kids.

Holly failed to find her happy ever after with E4 groom Alex Henry, 28, and split during the process. 5 5
