Exact location of new Banksy artwork revealed
This is the spot in the France's second city Marseille, where the first new artwork of 2025 by Bristol street artist Banksy has been painted. The spot in Marseille is a striking one - close to the Mediterranean waters, and Marseille's Old Port, on a road that runs along the bottom of a cliff and through an open-sided tunnel. The location is the tunnel section of Rue Felix Fregier, a back street in the Saint Lambert part of the city, just south of the port.

Banksy continued the shadow to paint a lighthouse on the wall beyond, captioned with the words: "I want to be what you saw in me". Bristol Live first revealed the location as Marseille yesterday (Thursday, May 29) just after Banksy posted a photo of his work on his Instagram account, but the precise spot in the French port city was not clear. Locals in Marseille have contacted Bristol Live to reveal the exact location as the tunnel - which is already understood to have seen hundreds of visitors this morning, Friday, as word spread of the location.

The Chase's Paul Sinha forced to give up vital part of career due to health struggle
The Chase's Paul Sinha forced to give up vital part of career due to health struggle The Chase star and comedian Paul Sinha has opened up about his struggle with Parkinson's disease, revealing that he has been forced to give up a key part of his career Paul Sinah, known as the Sinnerman on ITV's popular quiz show, The Chase (Image: ITV ) Paul Sinha, known for his role on ITV's The Chase, ventured into stand-up comedy while working as a junior doctor, yet his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease has made his participation in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival increasingly difficult. In 2019, after noticing his limp growing worse on one side, Paul was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition that gradually impairs parts of the brain. Symptoms include tremors, balance complications, sleep disturbances, psychosis, and emotional fluctuations. There is currently no cure for the neurological condition, and Paul Sinha, also known as The Sinnerman on The Chase, has opened up about living with Parkinson's and how it has impacted his life. Having been a dedicated attendee of the festival, revelling what he called the "exercise in masochism" of enduring multiple shows in compact, crowded spaces, Paul now faces significant challenges. Speaking to Tim Lihoreau on the Guess Who's Coming to Dinner podcast, Paul, who turned 55 on Wednesday, admitted: "I now find with my health not being what it was, and my general energy levels, I find it a lot harder – not least the heat." He further said: "The rooms at the Edinburgh Festival are really hot, the performing rooms, and I find it hard." Paul went on to discuss his reluctance to leave the festival prematurely, saying: "I don't think I could ever go to Edinburgh and leave early, because I just wouldn't feel like I was part of the gang.", reports Bristol Live. "You've got to be genuinely suffering to a degree to feel that you're part of the gang." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Previously, Paul has candidly spoken about how early warning signs of his disease were overlooked. His friends in the medical field initially failed to spot his symptoms, but it was during a follow-up consultation that the extent of his illness came to light. Recapping his experience to The Sun, Paul relays a notable comment from his consultant: "I went to see him and he said, 'I've just been watching you on Taskmaster, I wish I'd known. I would have diagnosed you far quicker'," observing that certain gestures he made were symptomatic. The renowned quizzer emphasised that while tremors are commonly associated with Parkinson's, there is less awareness about other symptoms. He mentioned diminished sense of smell as one of the first potential indications that could arise well before the more obvious tremors. He also cited nerve pain, issues with urination, and memory lapses as potential early warning signs of the disease. On Loose Women, Paul discussed another symptom: a lingering shoulder problem that hinted at his condition: "I presented one morning with a stiff, painful right shoulder. I never had a stiff joint before," he explained. "I didn't think anything of it, I thought, 'this is just going to go away,' and then it just never went away." Paul makes a concerted effort to preserve his mental sharpness through daily brain exercises. One of his go-to activities is participating in Tea Time Trivia, an online quickfire quiz at 6pm, emphasising the significance of this routine by saying: "It's something that's always on your mind because my brain is my tool," he said. "If I become more physically disabled, I'll still be able to do The Chase and I'll still be able to do stand-up comedy." Article continues below

ITV The Chase Paul Singha's health battle which has made comedy career 'harder'
Paul Sinha, who is known as The Sinnerman, often performed stand-up comedy at Edinburgh Fringe Festival but has been forced to give up a vital part of his career. The Chase star Paul Sinha is most notably known as The Sinnerman on the popular ITV quiz show. However aside from being a brain genius, he is also known for dabbling in stand-up comedy. He juggled his comic flair with his job as a junior doctor before his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2019, which has since made it tough for him to participate in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, an integral event for comedians held in Scotland. While he used to be an enthusiastic participant at the festival, enjoying what he dubbed an "exercise in masochism" by engaging with a number of shows in tight and crowded spaces, it now proves to be a struggle eports Bristol Live. On Tim Lihoreau's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner podcast, Paul, who turned 55 on Wednesday, expressed: "I now find with my health not being what it was, and my general energy levels, I find it a lot harder – not least the heat." He elaborated on the conditions at the festival by saying: "The rooms at the Edinburgh Festival are really hot, the performing rooms, and I find it hard." Paul then reflected on how departing the festival prematurely would alienate him, admitting: "I don't think I could ever go to Edinburgh and leave early, because I just wouldn't feel like I was part of the gang." He added: "You've got to be genuinely suffering to a degree to feel that you're part of the gang." His Parkinson's symptoms first called for medical attention when he noticed his right limp becoming increasingly worse. The condition is characterised as a progressive neurological disorder that incrementally impairs sections of the brain, resulting in issues such as shaking, balance difficulties, sleep disruptions, psychotic episodes, and emotional fluctuations. Currently, there is no definitive treatment for the disease. The Chase's beloved quiz genius Paul, has been candid about his Parkinson's diagnosis and the signs that were initially overlooked. Despite having colleagues in medicine observe early signs of the illness, it took a while before he received an accurate diagnosis. In recounting his journey to The Sun, Paul shared a telling quote from his consultant: "I went to see him and he said, 'I've just been watching you on Taskmaster, I wish I'd known. I would have diagnosed you far quicker'," pointing out specific movements that signalled the condition. The quizzing champion underscored that although tremors are a common symptom associated with Parkinson's, the wider public might not be aware of the other effects. He noted that anosmia or loss of smell can be amongst the initial signs, potentially occurring years prior to other more recognisable symptoms. He also highlighted that other early warning signs may include neuropathic pain, difficulties with urination, and cognitive challenges. During a segment on Loose Women, Paul discussed how a persistent shoulder problem hinted at the underlying condition: "I presented one morning with a stiff, painful right shoulder. I never had a stiff joint before," he said. "I didn't think anything of it, I thought, 'this is just going to go away,' and then it just never went away." Committed to preserving his sharp mind, Paul partakes in daily brain workouts. He participates in Tea Time Trivia, an online speed quiz at 6pm, and underlines the significance of this habit: "It's something that's always on your mind because my brain is my tool," he said. He then highlighted a pragmatic outlook regarding his capacity to work, saying, "If I become more physically disabled, I'll still be able to do The Chase and I'll still be able to do stand-up comedy."

GMB star called 111 over bowel cancer fears ahead of emergency surgery
Good Morning Britain star Ranvir Singh has returned to the ITV daytime show following her emergency appendix surgery. Good Morning Britain's Ranvir Singh has opened up about her recent health scare and emergency surgery on Friday's episode of the show. While chatting with Made in Chelsea's Sam Vanderpump, who recently faced a life-threatening battle with liver and kidney failure leading to sepsis, Ranvir shared her own brush with a medical emergency. The 27-year-old reality star emphasised the importance of seeking medical advice for sepsis symptoms, prompting Ranvir to recount her experience when her appendix ruptured just weeks ago. Ranvir recalled the moment she decided to call 111 after enduring pain all day post-work, saying: "It's interesting, you know when I had my appendix ruptured a couple of weeks ago, about three weeks ago, the thing that made me call 111, I had sort of been writhing around all day straight after work." She linked her decision to Lorraine's team raising awareness about bowel cancer, stating: "It was eight o'clock at night, and I thought, 'Let's check it's not bowel cancer'. I don't know, it's because Lorraine's team have been doing a bowel cancer thing." Highlighting the impact of health campaigns, she added: "So, raising awareness genuinely works in the moment when you're in pain, you go, 'What could it be?'. So just planting a seed in the mind of someone." Co-host Rob Rinder then chimed in, revealing that initially, doctors dismissed Ranvir's severe pain, asking: "They told you it was nothing, I think, at first?" to which Ranvir confirmed: "Yeah." Earlier in May, Ranvir took to Instagram to tell her followers that she had to undergo urgent surgery after her appendix burst, despite having presented Lorraine just the day before, reports Bristol Live. After feeling drained and foggy and thinking a coffee could sort it, TV star Ranvir Singh was struck by a sudden stomach ache. She shared her ordeal on social media, saying: "I stay in bed all day. Turns out I had a ruptured appendix and had urgent surgery at midnight on Thursday! "Woke up 5am on Friday morning, high on anaesthetic and certain I could get into work to host the show as normal [laughing emoji]. "Pretty nasty few days, the bacteria had spread and infected my blood etc and told to take this week off by @jadeens I'm sore and shuffling around, can't drive for a week, and no exercise for 4 weeks (! ) so really it's the boredom that will kill me!" With 'horrendous' shoulder pain also afflicting her, well-wishers flooded in with supportive messages for Ranvir. Despite the health scare, the resilient presenter returned to hosting duties on ITV alongside Rob Rinder on Friday.
