James Haskell admits ‘real reason' he split from Chloe Madeley as he opens up on dating and dad's death
JAMES Haskell has admitted the 'real reason' for his split with Chloe Madeley as he opened up on dating and his dad's death in a new interview. Rugby ace James, 40, separated from influencer Chloe, 37, in October 2023 after five years of marriage. 5 Their daughter Bodhi was just one at the time. He's now admitted that his love of drinking contributed to the end of the relationship, describing their final year together as a "difficult period". He told the Daily Mail: "If I put more time into my marriage than I did Guinness, then I wouldn't be divorced now. 'It's one of those things in life where some things don't work out, but I have so much love for my daughter and Chloe,' he said. 'It's team work.' "What we all forget is when you have children and a marriage finishes, it's all about the kids. Chloe and I are amazing co-parents. Our priority is always Bodhi.' Reflecting on the death of his father, Jonathan, after a long illness, he added: 'He was an amazing man. He always encouraged me to work. Every time I said to him, 'Shall I take a day off?' he would rather I worked.' James described him as the "key cornerstone of our family", adding that it had been a "very emotional, difficult time" for him. He also revealed he's now single, having dated advertising executive Helen Barclay and Big Brother star Sara McLean, 35, earlier this year. The sportsman said he's not currently on the search for his next partner, insisting his priority is "being the best dad in the best order". It was back in March that James split from Sara - two days after going public with their relationship. James Haskell SPLITS with Big Brother model girlfriend just days after going public following blazing row The pair were seen enjoying a day at the races after attending the second day of Cheltenham together earlier this week, but sources later said they were 'on the rocks'. A pal said: 'James isn't really in the settling-down stage just yet. 'He wasn't really ready to go public with Sara, to be honest. 'They'd had a couple of drinks, got touchy-feely, and then got photographed holding hands, which James wasn't thrilled about.' They said the snap caused a rift, which has poured cold water on the new romance. Our source explained: 'They had a bit of a lovers' tiff and, right now, it's fair to say they're not officially boyfriend and girlfriend.' In January, he was linked to mother of two, Helen Barclay. Our source said James has had interest from other women, who have also not been too happy about the Sara snaps. They continued: 'There have been a couple of other girls on the scene, so I don't think they were best pleased. 'James is going through a tough divorce, so has been enjoying the best of London's dating scene. 'He's not necessarily ready to commit again to something serious straight away.' But on Sara, the pal went on: 'They're still chatting loads and they have real chemistry. 'Sara is brilliant fun and a great laugh, so who knows? 'They may well be back on again by next week.' Following their trip to the races, Sara shared a series of cryptic posts about love on her social media account. One read: 'The energy of the year is: Love me well or leave me alone.' Former Miss Edinburgh Sara briefly found fame after taking part in the 13th series of Big Brother in 2012. Since then she has been linked to a string of famous faces, including former US footie player Tim Howard, 46, and Towie TV star Mario Falcone, 37. 5 5

Celebrity dog trainer reveals how he got famous groodle to ‘drive' a car
The owner of a dog who claims to be the first animal delivery driver in Australia has revealed how he was taught the tricky skill. Bodhi — a Groodle who knows how to get behind the wheel and start the car — was showcased on Sunrise on Wednesday morning where his trainer explained how it was the dog himself that inspired the idea. Trainer Luke Hura told Sunrise it had been 'difficult' to train the celebrity dog, who has starred on Neighbours. 'He took to it quite well,' he said. 'Because all the training I had done with him previously, he had to learn how to keep his paws on the steering wheel, and hitting the button to start the car.' WATCH ABOVE: The dog driving down the street to deliver an Uber Eats order. 'But he was constantly doing it (pressing the car start button) on and off, so he would be driving, he pressed the button and it would stop the car. 'It takes weeks and weeks to get a dog to learn how to put its feet on the steering wheel, hit the start button and pull it into gear.' Bodhi had to learn all three skills for his debut as Uber's latest driver which called on the dog for a new partnership with Petbarn. The companies shut down an entire street to film the promotion. Hura worked with another Melbourne-based trainer, Mira Tomasello to make Bodhi a competent and safe driver. 'I told him he needed another job and earn his keep,' Hura joked with Sunrise's Nat and Shirvo. 'When I saw some clips, I thought, 'my god' — that's hilarious. 'He's sitting there quite relaxed like an old man, he just needed a pair of glasses and a hat.' The partnership between Uber Eats and Pet Barn means Australians can order items from the pet store through the app.

India must work with Chinese capital, supply chains to become manufacturing hub: Former Intel executive
India's push to become a major manufacturing nation could fall short unless it works more closely with Chinese capital and supply chains, former Intel executive William Huo has said. In a series of sharp posts on X, Huo said India should follow the example of China in the 1980s, when Beijing welcomed Japanese investment and technology to grow its own industries. 'India needs a national industrial policy, not just slogans. 'Make in India' has to mean software, services, chips, cloud, the whole stack,' Huo wrote on Tuesday. 'India should be doing the same with Chinese supply chains. That's the shortcut to industrialisation,' he said. Huo also warned that cutting ties with China completely is not a realistic option if India wants to become a strong manufacturing country. — wmhuo168 (@wmhuo168) He added that the US may not always support India as it grows economically. Once India's economy becomes bigger than Germany's, the US could start treating India as a 'problem' instead of a partner. 'Containment will follow,' Huo said. Live Events Huo also pointed out that India still depends heavily on US technology. If relations with the West worsen, India could struggle. 'Can India survive without AWS, Google, Apple, and Visa? Not yet,' he wrote.
