EastEnders' Adam Woodyatt pulls the plug on failed booze brand with ex wife amid mounting debts
EASTENDERS star Adam Woodyatt has pulled the plug on the failed booze brand he launched with his ex-wife. Adam, 56, set up Neat Distillery Ltd in August 2017 and introduced a range of trendy gins. 4 But just a couple of years later, production stopped and the brand's website was taken offline in a bid to cut costs. Now, official documents have been submitted to Companies House confirming that Adam and his former partner Beverley are applying to have the company struck off the register. The brand's digital presence has long been dormant - the website is no longer active, and its Facebook and Twitter accounts haven't been updated since 2019. Neat Distillery Ltd's last set of accounts revealed it was running a £13,000 deficit. Adam and Beverley had joint control of the business, even while navigating what was described as a 'toxic split'. It was reported that he initially refused to offer her a fair settlement, although they eventually reached an amicable agreement. He had spent months perfecting the gin recipe, with a source saying at the time: 'This is something Adam really passionate about. 'He is planning to sell it online, along with merchandise he has lined up with the branding and recipes." In a past interview, Adam also revealed: 'I had quite a diverse list of outlets and distribution from entertainment, bars, fine dining to music clubs,' naming chef Tom Kerridge and London's Hippodrome among them. Adam took a break from EastEnders in 2020 but returned in August 2023. EastEnders legend Michelle Collins opens up on fiery on set rows with Adam Woodyatt He has reportedly made big money for his TV gigs, including roughly £500,000 for his 2021 appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. The actor also earns a reported £250,000 per year for his EastEnders gig. Adam, who officially divorced his wife Beverly in 2022 after 22 years of marriage put £245,763 into a new firm shortly after they first split in 2020. He had earned the cash through acting gigs and funnelled it into his company Caledfwlch — which is Welsh for King Arthur's sword Excalibur. He set it up ahead of his I'm A Celebrity stint in Gwrych Castle, North Wales. This week, Adam was spotted looking loved up with a mystery woman after hitting the gym in London. He shared a kiss with the red-haired woman after a sweaty workout before driving off together. Adam's character Ian Beale debuted in 1985 during the show's first-ever episode. He played a major role in the BBC soap's 40th anniversary episodes when his wife Cindy's Christmas Day attacker was revealed. The Sun has contacted Adam's representatives for comment. 4 4 4

Ex-Timberwolves Player Exposes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Pettiness Over Anthony Edwards' Jersey
Ex-Timberwolves Player Exposes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Pettiness Over Anthony Edwards' Jersey originally appeared on Fadeaway World. We often hear criticism of the NBA due to players being friends with each other instead of rivals. However, despite the friendship era in the NBA, we still see players with a competitive spirit against the opposing teams. Let's look at the Western Conference Finals, for example. The OKC Thunder took a comfortable 3-1 lead in the series after their 128-126 win in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. Advertisement Patrick Beverley, the former teammate of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, claims the OKC Thunder superstar refused to dap him up after Game 4 in Minnesota simply because he was wearing an Anthony Edwards jersey. After his 40-point performance in Game 4, Gilgeous-Alexander refused to celebrate with his former teammate due to his competitive spirit. Beverley went on his podcast and spoke about the experience. 'I'mma tell you about Shai, how cold Shai is. I go to Shai after the game to dap him up. He says, 'I ain't gonna lie, I can't dap you up right now, OG.' Uh, the f**k? Why? 'Why? You had on that mf jersey. Jersey I had on was Anthony Edwards. That's the mindset you have to have. Don't even come near me with that jersey on- type sh*t. I respect it, I like it, that's how you have to be. I knew where it's coming from, it's coming from a good place, it's coming from an organic place, and he locked in. That's what I took like, oh yeah, he locked tf in right now, I love it' Gilgeous-Alexander was drafted by the Clippers during the time Patrick Beverley still played for them. Despite being former teammates with Beverley, he refused to greet him nicely because he was wearing his opponent, Anthony Edwards' jersey, at the game. To be fair to Beverley, you can't blame him for supporting the Timberwolves as he played for them and not for the Thunder. But Gilgeous-Alexander refused to mingle with the opposing side's fans, irrespective of his personal history with them. That's the type of competitive spirit we still respect around the league. Chris Finch Didn't Let Patrick Beverley Speak To Timberwolves Before Game 4 According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Chris Finch, the Timberwolves' head coach, spoke to the media about Patrick Beverley's attendance in the game. The reporters asked him whether he would invite Beverley to the locker room to speak to the team and motivate them. Advertisement 'No, I've had enough Pat Beverley pregame speeches," he said. Beverley played for the Timberwolves in the 2021-22 season. He played 52 games while averaging 9.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. He was a part of the Clippers from 2017 to 2021. Chris Finch was hired by the Timberwolves in the same year they signed Patrick Beverley. Finch did not want a memory from his initial years with the Timberwolves in the locker room. The Timberwolves have now been eliminated from the Playoffs after a Game 5 loss on the road. They got blown out by 30 points and lost the game 94-124. Edwards finished the game with 19 points, while Gilgeous-Alexander had 34 points.

Former AFL player Marlion Pickett pleads guilty to two offences as burglary charges dropped
Dual Richmond premiership player Marlion Pickett, who had a fairytale rise to the top in AFL, has pleaded guilty to charges of possessing and dealing with stolen money — but multiple other charges against him have been dropped. Pickett had been facing a dozen criminal charges, including aggravated burglary, stealing and criminal damage. The charges related to alleged incidents in suburban Perth, Beverley and Bindoon in late 2022 and early 2023. Police had alleged he was involved in burglaries on commercial properties in which hundreds of thousands of dollars was stolen, but the vast majority of those charges have now been dropped. In the District Court in Perth today, Pickett pleaded guilty to two charges including dealing with money that was the proceeds of an offence and possessing money that was the proceeds of an offence. The prosecutor said there was no reasonable prospect of conviction on the other charges, which were discontinued. Pickett retired from AFL football last year. He had to wait until the age of 27 to get his chance in the AFL when — after almost seven years with South Fremantle — he was selected by Richmond with pick 13 in the 2019 mid-season rookie draft. He famously played in a premiership just a few months later in his first ever senior game, making his debut in the 2019 grand final, which the Tigers won by 89 points against GWS. He became a dual premiership player the following year when Richmond defeated Geelong at the Gabba. The 33-year-old will remain on bail ahead of a sentencing hearing in December.
