‘Bridgerton' star Genevieve Chenneour ‘left with concussion' after trying to stop teen thief who stole her mobile phone
Genevieve Chenneour was 'left with concussion' after attempting to stop a teenage thief who stole her mobile phone, The 30-year-old star, best known for appearing in season three of 'Bridgerton' as Clara Livingston, was targeted during a visit to Joe The Juice in Kensington, south-west London. According to a court report by The Sun, the incident occurred in February when Zacariah Boulares, 18, snatched Genevieve's phone while she was seated in the café. As she tried to prevent him from fleeing, Boulares physically assaulted another customer who intervened to help. Genevieve told a court she sustained a concussion during the incident and added that even her dog was 'traumatised'. Boulares appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (28.05.25), where he pleaded guilty to the theft of Genevieve's phone. He also admitted a charge of common assault against Carlo Kurcishi, a customer who attempted to assist during the altercation. According to court documents, Boulares punched and kicked Carlo during the struggle. He further pleaded guilty to a separate theft – the stealing of a black leather handbag from a diner at a pizza restaurant. The court was told Boulares, an Algerian national, has 12 previous convictions linked to 28 separate offences, all involving theft. Magistrates remanded him in custody ahead of sentencing, which is scheduled for 17 June at Isleworth Crown Court. Genevieve has also appeared in the historical film '1242: Gateway to the West'. In addition to her acting career, she is a former professional athlete, having represented Team GB in artistic swimming at the Baku 2015 European Games. Speaking about the attack, Genevieve said: 'Even my dog was traumatised.' She added: 'I was left with a concussion. It was completely unexpected and extremely frightening.' The court heard Boulares' thefts took place in public venues and that he had a persistent record of similar crimes.

Delicious Orie, Olympic heavyweight, announces shock retirement from boxing after just one pro fight
Delicious Orie has hung up his gloves after just one professional fight. () Delicious Orie is hanging up his gloves after just one professional fight. The 2024 Olympian for Team Great Britain announced his unexpected decision to retire from boxing on Tuesday morning in order to pursue a career in the corporate world. Orie has an Economics and Management degree from Birmingham's Aston University. Advertisement Orie, 27, had a decorated amateur journey, winning heavyweight gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2023 European Games, however his Olympic run was cut short after losing a controversial split decision to Davit Chaloyan in the first round. Orie was mulling over an offer from the WWE shortly after his Olympic spell, however the 6-foot-6 heavyweight turned down the lucrative proposal to instead turn professional in boxing with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions this past February. The West Midlands-based heavyweight made his one-and-done appearance in the pro ranks on the Joe Joyce vs. Filip Hrgovic undercard at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester in April. Orie won a four-round points decision over Bosnian journeyman Milos Veletic in an unimpressive showing. Advertisement Orie's statement read: "After much reflection, I have decided to hang up my gloves and retire from boxing to follow up on my degree and enter the corporate world. "This sport has given me so much — incredible memories, unforgettable experiences travelling the world and many opportunities to represent my country at the biggest stages in the world. Forever grateful for the journey. "Over time, I've come to recognize that the same fire and love I once had for boxing has gradually faded. As I've grown, I've come to value clarity and honesty with myself above all. I hoped that turning professional would reignite the passion, but the truth has become clear: It hasn't. Every fighter knows you need a deep love for the craft to reach the top — and without it, there's no path forward. "Out of respect for the sport and for myself, it's time to step away with honesty.
