Una Healy hit by a storm of criticism as fans slam The Saturdays star for her 'off-key' Mighty Hoopla performance
Una Healy has been called out by fans for her 'off-key' performance during Mighty Hoopla festival in London on Saturday. The Saturdays legend, 43, looked incredible as she took to the stage in a bejewelled double denim co-ord. During the night, she performed some of the biggest hits from her time in the 2000s girl band including All Fired Up, Higher, and Notorious. But during her delivery of their 2010 song Ego, fans were less than impressed with her performance and it's not clear whether there were simply tech issues because Una does usually have a beautiful singing voice. A clip of her gig was shared to TikTok with fans rushing to the comments to all say the same thing. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. @berni_sounds_ Una Healy from The Saturdays performing Ego at Mighty Hoopla 🗣️ @Una Healy #unahealy #thesaturdays #ego #mightyhoopla ♬ sonido original - Berni Sounds They commented: 'That was completely off-key at the start lol.' 'What key is that?' 'Was it off key? ….YES! Did I love every minute of it? YES! I'd love a Saturdays reunion.' 'I don't think she can hear herself.' 'Una is an amazing can't hear herself.' 'Sounds drunk.' It comes after Una teased the future of The Saturdays following months of speculation. Over the past couple months, the pop group have been left speculating that a reunion may be on the cards, after they announced their indefinite hiatus in 2014. A clip of her gig was shared to TikTok with fans rushing to the comments and all saying the same thing Last year, the band teased a reunion after some members met up and took to social media with a series of selfies together. Frankie Bridge joined pal Vanessa White for a long overdue get-together and they posed for a snap alongside their friend Leah Meredith. Una also caught up with Vanessa, who commented on her snap: 'Can't believe it's been nearly 7 years since we've seen each other! Love you.' When asked if a reunion was on the cards soon, she told the Metro in February: 'The girls are amazing, we're all still really good friends and I would love a reunion one day. 'I'm always the one going, "come on girls, let's do it." 'It's not going to happen this year, I can guarantee that, it's not happening this year but one day, hopefully.' The Saturdays were formed by Polydor Records in June 2007. They released four albums and a greatest hits album before parting ways in 2014 The Saturdays were a popular girl group, formed in 2007, and had great success with several top ten hits. Since their hiatus, the members have all gone on to pursue various solo projects. Rochelle Humes has become well known for her TV stints, co-hosting shows like This Morning and The Hit List. While Frankie took to reality shows including I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, and has written a Sunday Times bestselling book. Mollie King has worked as a radio presenter on BBC Radio 1, while Vanessa has focused on her solo music career. As for Una, she has also pursued a solo music career. Earlier this year, she landed herself a role in Netflix's latest star-studded reality show, Celebrity Bear Hunt.

Our favorite electric lawn mower just fell to its best price yet at nearly half off
Our top pick for the best electric lawn mower just landed at its best price yet on Amazon. Ego makes two of our favorite mowers and the best overall pick, the Ego Power+ LM2135SP, just dropped in price by $449. Loved by CNN Underscored editors for its ease of use and long-lasting battery, this deal is your ticket to a well-kept lawn this spring, summer and beyond. Ego Power+ Self-Propelled Electric Lawn Mower LM2135SP Take $449 off our pick for the best electric lawn mower. Alongside the Power+ mower, you'll also get a 550W charger and two batteries for an extended runtime. Read our review Earlier this year, my colleagues published an updated guide to the best electric lawn mowers. Throughout the testing process, they got their hands on eight of the most popular models to cut, bag and mulch grass. Amongst brands like Senix and Ryobi, Ego rose to the top with not only the best electric lawn mower for large yards, but also the best overall pick. It's that second model that's on sale today for its lowest price ever. In testing, we found that this Ego Power+ mower was easier to operate than the competition, thanks to its self-propelled design. It was just as effective at cutting grass as it was easy to use, sporting a 21-inch cutting deck and plenty of power to make quick work of yards both big and small on a single charge. The specific kit on sale today at Amazon leans into that extended use by including a 7.5Ah ARC Lithium battery in the box and also shipping with an extra 5.0Ah battery. That ensures it offers a longer runtime to help make mowing just a little more fun. My favorite sales and deals to share are for items we love at all-time low prices. Discounts that check both those boxes are rare to come by, especially with such a steep amount of savings attached. Today's Amazon sale is also a notable chance to take a more environmentally friendly approach to lawn care in 2025 by ditching gas from your tool shed and routine. If you only prioritize making your weekly chores effortless, these tools make it as simple as pushing a button to get to work. Ages before I started working in service journalism, I was mowing lawns as a summer job. Back then, I would have done anything to skip the ordeal of fussing with an oil primer or a rip cord to get the engine going. I recently had a chance to use an Ego mower, and can easily back my colleagues' claims that the Power+ line makes cutting your lawn far easier. Ego's status here at CNN Underscored extends beyond just mowers. The company makes our favorite leaf blower, which works with the same electric battery system as the Power+ featured in today's story. So, if you do decide to invest in the electric tool, you'll be able to use its batteries later on in the year when it's time to tackle leaf cleanup. CNN Underscored has a team of writers and editors with many years of product testing experience, as well as experience researching and recommending other buys, and they ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted. We talk to top experts when relevant to ensure we are testing each product accurately, recommending only the best products and considering the pros and cons of each item.

Blue Lock Chapter 304: Buratsuta Plots Nagi's Comeback—Recap, Release Date, Where To Read And More
The last chapter, titled 'Blue Lock Japan,' began with Buratsuta celebrating 78 billion yen in revenue from the Neo Egoist League and Blue Lock TV. Despite acknowledging Ego's success, Buratsuta demanded Nagi's return due to his market appeal. Ego refused, insisting results mattered more than popularity. At a press conference, Teieri revealed Japan would host 64 nations at the U-20 World Cup. As Buratsuta threatened Ego's position, Ego reaffirmed his goal to win. Meanwhile, Nagi, disengaged from football, aimlessly played arcade games with 47 days remaining. Blue Lock Chapter 304 will likely focus on Seishiro Nagi, who was last seen emotionally detached while gaming at an arcade. The game screen's 'continue' prompt may be symbolizing a turning point for the boy, suggesting that Nagi may reconsider his decision to quit football. The chapter may also explore his inner struggle and the possibility of reigniting his passion. Meanwhile, Buratsuta, driven by profit motives, could attempt to override Ego's authority by finding a way to reintroduce Nagi into Blue Lock Japan's U-20 World Cup roster. Blue Lock Chapter 304 Blue Lock Chapter 304 is set to be released on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 12 am JST. For most fans around the world, this translates to a daytime release on May 27, 2025, at roughly 7:00 am EST / 5:00 pm CET / 4:00 am PST. To read Blue Lock Chapter 304, fans can visit Kodansha's K manga website. Currently, the manga service is only available in select countries such as the US, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, India, and Brazil. The service is accessible through both the mobile app and website, and the latest chapters can be accessed with points without requiring a subscription. Keep an eye on Pinkvilla for more updates from Blue Lock manga.

River Island's £52 starfish sandals 'look like' £1.2k designer brand
River Island shoppers have been blown away by a set of holiday shoes that could be mistaken for a designer brand. These are starting to go viral online, meaning stock could quickly sell out once more people find out about them. The 10cm high shoes come in a ' stunning' gold finish or a ' bold' aqua blue and are each priced at £52. They have three diamante-embellished sparkling starfish that sit on top of the heels, adding a touch of shimmer to any outfit. The high street store shared a close-up video of the £52 heeled sandals on its TikTok account. A staff member wrote: "This is your sign to buy some starfish heels for summer", adding in the caption that the shoes are "gorgeous". They look arguably similar to Roberto Cavalli's designer version, which costs about £1,200 online. Both have a high-heeled design and are embellished with sparkly starfish, but River Island's version costs less and comes in a slightly lighter blue colour. The designer shoe is made from Bos taurus, sheepskin and goat skin. But the £52 pair is made from rubber and polyurethane, which is an artificial type of leather. In the comment section of the TikTok video, one person said: "I NEED these so bad!" Another added: "Stunning!" whilst a third wrote: "They're so pretty!" Both versions are available to order online. At the time of writing, some sizes were out of stock, and others were not far behind being sold out too. River Island's website has a handy feature to see if a product in your size is available on the shelf in your local branch. Simply use the 'Find In Store' feature, select your size and enter a postcode - from there, River Island will give you a list of the nearest shops you can head to and see these items in person. Home Delivery can be arranged for an additional cost of about £4 for Next Day. Alternatively, you can use the click-and-collect service, which is free on orders over £20 - and these shoes more than qualify. If you're looking for alternatives, shoppers might want to consider Ego's £32 Heart Of The Ocean Starfish Detail Strappy Stiletto Heels. These come in the same colours as River Island, run from sizes 3 to 9 and equally add a "dreamy ocean" twist to any outfit. For those who don't like the idea of high heels but still want to get on board with the pretty starfish trend, New Look has a pair of Leopard Print Starfish Charm Sandals that feature funky fish - but the £24.99 shoes are flat. Another flat-shoed option comes from Amazon with Momolaa's £19.99 Beaded Starfish Flip-Flop for Women.

Vegeta secures first official victory over Goku
In a stunning development from the ongoing Dragon Ball Super manga, Saiyan Prince Vegeta has finally achieved what fans have long awaited – a clean one-on-one win over Goku. Chapter 101 of the manga (published Jan 2024) depicts the two warriors sparring on Beerus' planet under Whis's watch, and it ends with Vegeta besting Goku for the first time in their careers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to reports, Vegeta adopts a new fighting approach (reminiscent of the Universe 11 warrior Jiren) and, powered by his Ultra Ego form , manages to overwhelm Goku's ultra-instinct techniques. This milestone marks the first definitive victory for Vegeta over Goku in the official storyline. Dragon Ball: The greatest rivalry ever in the anime industry Fans have long marveled at Goku and Vegeta's fierce rivalry. Since their very first clash in the Saiyan Saga, Goku usually came out on top – whether by a strategic punch, a borrowed power-up, or by Vegeta's own pride getting the better of him. As one Times of India feature notes, Vegeta's pride and solitary training 'often hindered his progress,' and for years the question has been why he never fully surpassed Goku. Recently, however, Vegeta's path has evolved. In the Granolah arc and beyond, he unlocked a godly Ultra Ego form and a more introspective mindset. This growth sets the stage for the latest chapters: by Chapter 101, both Saiyans are shown training alongside Broly to prepare for future battles, and Vegeta's confidence and skill finally pay off. The climactic fight unfolds naturally from this setup. In the manga's 101st chapter, Goku and Vegeta spar with Broly on Beerus's world. The panels show them joking and testing each other's strength, but the tone shifts when Vegeta switches tactics. As reports, Vegeta 'was able to beat Goku one-on-one for the first time in his career'. In other words, Vegeta lands the decisive blow and leaves Goku on the defensive. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The scene is drawn as a friendly clash at first, yet the result is unmistakable. This moment is presented not as an insult to Goku, but as a natural outcome of Vegeta's relentless training – especially with his new Ultra Ego resilience – showing how close the two Saiyans have become in power. Weight of Vegeta's triumph Credits: CBR The emotional aftermath underscores the weight of Vegeta's triumph. Vegeta can't resist rubbing it in: the manga shows him grinning proudly and telling Goku, 'Indeed. The duel which you lost to me'. Goku, usually brimming with confidence, responds with a wry smile and admits that this might indeed be 'the highlight of Vegeta's life'. It's a telling exchange. After decades of rivalry, Vegeta has earned a rare moment in the spotlight – and even Goku acknowledges the significance. The scene plays as both a victory and a celebration of their friendship, with Vegeta's gloating clearly coming from pride rather than malice. For longtime followers of the saga, this chapter is historic. It checks a box fans have wondered about for years: Vegeta finally overtaking Goku in a fair fight. The win doesn't come out of nowhere – it's built on Vegeta's character arc of growth and humility. As Times of India noted, Vegeta's journey has taken him from a cold-hearted villain to Earth's hero, with Goku's faith and their rivalry spurring that change. Now, with this hard-earned victory, Vegeta's evolution comes full circle. His determination and new Ultra Ego form have paid off, at least for this chapter. Whether this will be Vegeta's only solo win or the start of a new trend remains to be seen. For now, Dragon Ball Super readers are savoring the moment. Chapter 101 – and the recent arc as a whole – cements that Vegeta can stand toe-to-toe with Goku, reshaping their dynamic in the canon lore. It's a landmark in the series' history, a testament to how much both Saiyans have grown. In narrative terms, this victory highlights Vegeta's emotional journey and adds depth to the legend of Goku and Vegeta. As the manga continues, fans will watch eagerly to see how this rivalry unfolds next.
