Yung Filly update sees star face two new sexual assault charges
Yung Filly - whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos - was charged with rape and other offenses over an alleged sexual assault on a woman in Australia last year British rapper, Yung Filly, is facing two new sexual assault charges relating to the assault of a woman while he was on tour in Australia. Filly - whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos - was charged with rape and other offences over an alleged sexual assault on a woman in the country last year. In March, he pleaded not guilty to three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, one of strangulation and four counts of sexual penetration without consent. However, according to court documents filed on Friday, the YouTuber, 29, faces two new counts of sexual penetration without consent, and no plea has been entered for them. The incident is alleged to have taken place on 28 September. Filly had been touring Australia at the time of the alleged offences. Filly appeared at Perth Magistrates Court for an initial hearing on October 10, 2024 where he was granted conditional bail. The bail terms stated that he did not discuss the case on social media, or contact the alleged victim. The rapper appeared in Perth Magistrates Court for a second time on March 11, 2025, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was told to appear in the District Court of Western Australia on July 13. On June 13, two new charges of sexual penetration without consent were filed against Filly. During a court hearing in November, the British-Colombian saw his bail request put on hold until later that day. ABC Australia covered the story, noting that Perth barrister Seamus Rafferty SC is representing the entertainer. Rafferty commented on the denied bail, stating: "This has already made headlines. Given the nature of social media, the nature of people jumping on bandwagons, given the nature of (the) power imbalance between the parties." A TikTok video from Perth's Bar1 Nightclub went viral last year, showcasing Filly – who has appeared in Channel 4's The Great Celebrity Bake Off – performing at the venue. Meanwhile, in a sombre contrast, images depicting injuries allegedly sustained by a woman were presented to the court. "No ordinary person can consent in those circumstances," stated the prosecutor in reference to the gruesome photos, adding: "Across her body is a history of violent acts, ... we say those photos and what is alleged is beyond the pale, beyond what could be considered to be a consensual act." Filly, who was born in Colombia and moved to London aged two as a refugee with his mum and sister began his YouTube career in 2013 before releasing his debut single Take Time in 2017. He went onto host shows Hot Property and Don't Scream on BBC Three and has also appeared in Soccer Aid and The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off. Filly's 10-day trial is scheduled to start on 20 July 2026.

Sutton's predictions v singer Sasha Keable
The Premier League's bottom two meet at King Power Stadium on Saturday, so will Leicester or Southampton manage to pick up a rare victory?"Saints still need a point to beat Robbie Savage's useless Derby side, and avoid a share of the 'worst Premier League team ever' trophy," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton."But it says it all about how bad both teams have been this season that I still find it hard to back Leicester, even against them. "The Foxes have not even scored at home in the league since 8 December, but if they can't score there against Southampton then they might as well close the whole club down."Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of week 35, he takes on British-Colombian singer-songwriter Sasha Keable, who supports new single, Act Right, is out now. It has already racked up more than 1.4m views on you agree with their scores? You can make your own predictions most popular scoreline selected for each game is used in the scoreboards and tables at the bottom of this page.A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points. Sasha is a singer now but grew up in the centre of the football world - her stepdad, Nick Broad, was head of sports science at Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea, and was working with Carlo Ancelotti as performance manager at Paris St-Germain when he died in a car accident in 2013."I've seen all sides of football, not just as a fan," she told BBC Sport. "When Carlo got fired by Chelsea, my stepdad was fired too. He didn't know what he was going to do, but then Carlo went to PSG and asked him to go with him."Sadly he passed away while he was in Paris but we are still close to the Ancelotti family. He and Carlo were such good friends."I look back now and my stepdad was a real pioneer in his work in sports science and nutrition. The things he introduced, like GPS tracking in training and collecting cardio data, were all new then but they are industry standard now."It's incredible to see his work live on in that way. Some of his old friends and colleagues reach out to me now when they see me doing my own thing on social media and talk about how his work was incredible. "I always wonder how much further he could have pushed the use of science in football if he was still here, but I'm so pleased you can still see his legacy." Before becoming a singer, Sasha dreamed of being a footballer herself. Now she settles for collecting shirts instead, with a Tino Asprilla Colombia shirt from 1994 taking pride of place."I played all the time when I was a kid, from the age of about six," explained Sasha."It was a bit different for girls then because it was before the women's game really took off and you didn't really have a route to becoming a professional in this country. I wanted to go to the United States to play. "I was quite a tomboy so I used to play with the boys all the time - I had to. We did not even have a girls team at my school until my friends and I asked to play with the boys and, after that, they formed a team for us."Fortunately it's all changed now and football is so much more accessible for girls. If you don't have the chance to try something, how do you know if you will love it?"Chris Sutton and Sasha Keable were speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. Premier League predictions Friday, 2 May Etihad Stadium, 20:00 BSTThis should be a great game, because Wolves are so powerful and they will have no fear at all after winning six games in a Manchester City have looked much more solid in the past few weeks and they are on a bit of a roll themselves, with four successive wins in all Guardiola's side will look to control this game, the same way they did in the first half of their FA Cup semi-final win over Nottingham Forest, but I don't think they will find it easy to keep Wolves I went against City in their last home game, against Aston Villa, and I was wrong. I am not going to make the same mistake prediction: 2-1Sasha's prediction: This is a tough game for City but I still think they will win. 2-1 Saturday, 3 May Villa Park, 12:30 BSTIt would be easy to say the wheels have come off at Aston Villa, wouldn't it? In the past couple of weeks, they have gone out of the Champions League and FA Cup, and losing their last Premier League game has left them playing catch-up in the top-five race.I don't think Unai Emery's side will crumble from here, though, even if Marcus Rashford's season-ending injury is a big need to win this, and they also need a big performance from Ollie Watkins. If he starts banging the goals in again then that would be a huge boost for their are a nightmare to predict, as I've mentioned in previous weeks, and they are certainly capable of getting something here.I don't think Villa can keep a clean sheet - which probably means they will stop Fulham scoring - but I have a feeling things will click for them in front of they are at home too so, if they need them, their fans can help to get them over the prediction: 3-1Sasha's prediction: I want to back Fulham here, for south-west London. 0-3 Goodison Park, 15:00 BSTI am covering this game for BBC Radio 5 Live and I am really looking forward to going to Goodison Park points towards a home win, despite Everton losing their previous two games. Ipswich are definitely down now and, while they won't throw in the towel, they might be a little less spirited now they know they are confidence has been sapped over the course of the season and, after watching them recently, I can't back them to get anything here. They were flimsy against Arsenal, then well beaten by Newcastle, and it would be a shock if they scored at all, let alone break my record for the fastest goal scored by an away player at have stuttered in the past couple of weeks but I don't think that is a bad thing for David Moyes. He has over-achieved since taking charge in January, when the reality is that he has got the same group of players as his predecessor, Sean Dyche, and there needs to be a lot of work done on improving that squad in the prediction: 2-0Sasha's prediction: I am not sure if Ipswich will put up as much of a fight now they are relegated. 1-0 King Power Stadium, 15:00 BSTLeicester have been rotten but, somehow, Southampton have been even sad to see Jamie Vardy leaving the Foxes at the end of the season, but maybe this might be the send-off he deserves. I am going with him to score the two teams actually served up a thriller at St Mary's Stadium back in October, when Vardy got one of Leicester's goals as they fought back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.I am expecting the same outcome here, just with a lot less excitement. The readers will go for a draw, I am sure of it, but I am pretty confident about Leicester taking this prediction: 1-0Sasha's prediction: It's mad how bad both these teams have been. I don't think either of them will get a goal, let alone the win. 0-0 Emirates Stadium, 17:30 BSTWe know how dangerous Bournemouth are, because they beat Arsenal in October, and if Mikel Arteta rests players then this game becomes even harder for the a tricky situation for Arteta, because he will want to head to Paris St-Germain for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final with a bit of momentum, but he has got to balance that with the risk of injury to his key form has improved of late, and the circumstances mean they definitely have a decent chance of doing the double over Arsenal this all boils down to what the Arsenal team is, so it is difficult to make a call without knowing that, but they are at home and even if they are not at full strength then I can still see them getting a prediction: 1-1Sasha's prediction: It's a strange situation for Arsenal but I am still backing us to win. 2-0 Sunday, 4 May Gtech Community Stadium, 14:00 BSTWe know Manchester United are going to make changes here, because seeing out the second leg of their Europa League semi-final with Athletic Bilbao is their Amorim's side nicked a point at the very end of their game at Bournemouth last weekend, which sparked mass celebrations, but I really don't see them doing the same against Brentford - they won't be getting the bunting out this Bees are such a dangerous team when they come forward and they will keep on attacking United. Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa should get plenty of chances and I can see them getting a goal or two between prediction: 2-0Sasha's prediction: I just have a feeling United will nick this. 0-1 Amex Stadium, 14:00 BSTBrighton got back to winning ways last weekend thanks to Carlos Baleba's brilliant late strike against West Seagulls beat Newcastle at St James' Park earlier in the season too, but that was before Eddie Howe's side hit their stride, and it is a big ask for Brighton to repeat that were just relentless in their win over Ipswich and another three points here would be massive in their bid for a top-five finish - I don't think they will get them, but we will see a few prediction: 2-2Sasha's prediction: Newcastle will take this one. 0-2 London Stadium, 14:00 BSTThis is 17th versus 16th in the Premier League which tells you how bad both teams have been this knows Tottenham's focus will be on their Europa League semi-final second leg with Bodo/Glimt so I think West Ham boss Graham Potter needs a result here more than Ange results have been poor since he took over from Julen Lopetegui in January and the Hammers fans have not had the upturn they wanted in the way their team play can still be dangerous even when they are out of form but Ange is not going to pick his strongest team. That gives West Ham a better chance of getting the win they badly need, but I don't see them doing it in prediction: 2-1Sasha's prediction: I don't want to say Tottenham will win, but I think they will. 1-2 Stamford Bridge, 16:30 BSTI would usually be asking which Chelsea side will turn up, but that applies to Liverpool too this Slot's side could have been out all week celebrating their title win and we don't know how that will affect often play at your best when you have been on the lash in a scenario like theirs. For example, some of my best games for Celtic came after nights out where we had won something and were allowed to have a couple of beers, but I don't know what to expect have nicked a couple of results recently, to stay in the race for the top five, but their performances have not been too convincing and their fans still don't seem to have taken to Enzo Maresca's playing is not the test for them that it would be if Liverpool were trying to close out the title but I don't think Slot is the type to let anyone take their foot off the gas. He will put out a strong team and even if they play with more freedom, I still think Liverpool will leave with the prediction: 1-2Sasha's prediction: I still have a connection with Chelsea because of my stepdad and I have got to back them here. 3-0 Monday, 5 May Selhurst Park, 20:00 BSTCrystal Palace will be on a high after booking their place in the FA Cup final, so this is another very tricky game for Nottingham Forest, who slipped up at home against Brentford on Espirito Santo's side will have to be stubborn and resolute to get anything at Selhurst Park. They have shown that kind of character plenty of times already this season but they really need it at the race for the top five you feel like every team involved needs to win every game, but of course that is not going to happen, and I can see my boyhood team Forest dropping more points here. I just hope it doesn't prove crucial for prediction: 1-1Sasha's prediction: It's got to be Palace here. I am loyal to the London teams! 3-0 How did Sutton do last week? Chris got five correct results with one exact score from the nine Premier League games he predicted in week 34, giving him a total of 80 beat his guest, golf hero Lee Westwood, who got four correct results with no exact scores, leaving him on 40 points and tied with the BBC readers, who also got five correct results with one exact and the BBC readers were wrong about both FA Cup semi-finals, while Chris correctly picked City to beat Forest and wrongly thought Aston Villa would beat Crystal Palace. Those ties do not count towards the weekly other game from week 34, Manchester City's 2-1 win over Aston Villa, took place on 22 April and does not count towards the weekly result the guest in week 33, made the prediction instead of Westwood and picked up 40 points for the guests' overall total (but not her own individual tally) with an exact score. Chris and the BBC readers both went for a 2-1 Villa win.
