LOVE STORY Speaking on the White Wine Question Time podcast, the musician previously revealed how he met his late partner Gill. James met Gill when she moved in as a lodger at his mum's house, with her then-boyfriend. The singer explained: "It wasn't the easiest start, but I just still see it as a really romantic thing. I'm not very romantic. 'I'm not like: 'I love romance!' But I do find certain things romantic and the fact that we met each other the way we did. It's like a little fairy tale or something!" James and Gill's romance blossomed around three months after the boyfriend had left, but there was another twist in the tale. James explained: "He got me back. "My mum rang me one day. And she said: 'I'm out on a date. I wonder if you can pick me up? ''I said: 'Where are you?' And she said: 'I'm at John's house.' And I was like: 'John's house? Who's John? ''She said: 'You know, Gill's John. "Okay, so I have to go and pick my mum up from my girlfriend's ex's house, and it was the most awkward thing! ''But I didn't like the fact that she said that. So I was like: 'No it's not a date. They're just hanging out.' Yeah, it was awkward!" The singer also explained that the early connection with his partner came from music - because her dad was also a musician. He said: "We just had a connection straight away really. But I had to wait two years to find out if what I thought I felt was real. "Because I wasn't going out with her for the first year or so she lived there. She was with her boyfriend, so I was getting to know her. "And I didn't want to tell her that I fell in love with her the first moment I set eyes on her because I didn't know, I never fell in love before. "So I didn't really know if it was that. So it was like a massive moment for me to even tell her that I liked her." 5 5

‘Tumor Destroyer' shows promising results at Corewell Health
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Corewell Health has recently acquired a new tool to help treat patients with certain liver cancers, and the first treatments appear to be a success. The tool was developed by , a company that spawned out of the done at the University of Michigan. It has been billed as a but Corewell Health radiologist James Morrison says the key to the tool is its precision. '(It's) completely non-invasive, and unlike other non-invasive technologies, it doesn't damage any of the surrounding tissue. So, we can be very focused on the cancer itself and preserve as much of the normal tissue as much as possible,' Morrison told News 8. The tool uses focused ultrasound pulses to destroy its target. The ultrasound causes bubbles to grow in the tiny gas pockets within the target tissue, causing it to expand and eventually collapse under stress, destroying the cells. Tumor Destroyer? FDA approves tool that uses ultrasound to fight cancer 'But you could stick your hand through the beam and, as long as you're not at that one point in space, it's not going to damage any of the normal tissue,' he explained. The by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2023 and, for now, can only be used to treat cancers in the liver, but experts are confident the tool will work in other parts of the body and that approval will expand. 'Next will be the kidney and then beyond that, things like pancreatic cancer and other places in the body,' Morrison said. Corewell Health doctors have already treated multiple patients with the HistoSonics tool and, so far, the treatments appear to be a success. Latest trial of University of Michigan's 'tumor destroyer' exceeds goals 'Our first few patients, we (wanted to be) extra precautious and keep them in for observation. But in the future, they will go home the same day. It's well tolerated,' he said. 'Everything went smoothly. Even more smoothly than expected. … The tumor was completely ablated.' Corewell Health is one of roughly 30 hospitals in the country to offer the new treatment. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Irish and UK reps win titles at World Angus Competition in Oz
The Irish and UK team of Aberdeen Angus breed enthusiasts competing in the youth competition of the World Angus Forum have been awarded third place in the prestigious global event. Team captain, James Morrison from Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, was also awarded the 'Spirit of Angus' award as best overall competitor at the global youth competition for Aberdeen Angus cattle breed enthusiasts. The Aberdeen Angus Youth Development Programme (YDP) sent a four-person Irish and UK team to compete, as well as a representative to compete on a 'barbarians' team that is made up of representatives from four other countries. Irish and UK delegates on a farm visit in rural Australia. Source: World Angus Forum Facebook page The competition, which took place at the World Angus Forum in both Sydney and Brisbane, Australia this week sawcompetitors take part in numerous competitions from ring-craft clipping and grooming to tractor skills and fencing. Knowledge of meat production and identification of different beef cuts was also tested in the competition. The Irish/UK team for the 2025 World Angus Forum is: James Morrison Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland (team captain); Ellie Westaway, southern England; Graeme Rhind, Aberdeenshire, Scotland; John Smyth, Co. Cavan, Ireland; Oisin Keogh, Co. Meath, Ireland. Due to the world forum being cancelled in 2021 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of YDP participants missed out and were over the age limit to take part in this year's competition. It was decided that three over-aged competitors would also be supported to attend the event to experience the world forum environment. The three over-aged delegates selected to travel to the World Angus Forum are: Catherine Smyth, Co. Meath; Sean McEnroe, Co. Meath; Richie Lombard, Co. Kerry. These participants were put through the same interview process as those taking part in the competition side of the forum. World Angus Competition training The selected team then had various training weekends over the past 12 months in three different countries. Last October, the representatives spent an afternoon at The Liss Herd, owned by John McEnroe in Co. Meath, Ireland. Here, the five representatives engaged in stock judging and presenting reasons. The next day, the group visited local butcher Declan Flood, who showed them how to cut up a beef carcass and outlined the various cuts that come off each carcass. It was then back to the Liss Angus Herd farm where the team practiced tractor and fencing skills. The next training weekend in February 2025 took place at both Perth and Stirling in Scotland. Participants got a full tour of the ABP factory in Perth and then went to Pedigree House, where they were put through some team-building exercises. The next morning, the team visited the Nethertin Herd where, after some more stock judging, they attended a lecture on estimated breeding values (EBVs) before a debate on the pros and cons of figures. The third and final training weekend was held in Surrey, England at the herd of Rosemead Aberdeen Angus. Here the team had to show their skill in team-clipping two heifers and also had to prepare and cook a three-course meal for their host as a team-building exercise. The final day of training was debating and presenting a topic with only a limited amount of time to research. The Irish Aberdeen Angus Association's YDP coordinator Niall Lynch said: 'We would like to thank all of our hosts and trainers for helping our team over the past 12 months. 'None of any of this could be possible without the hard work of the Aberdeen Angus cattle Society and the Irish Aberdeen Angus Association for setting up a great initiative such as the Aberdeen Angus Youth Development Programme. 'We would also like to thank our main sponsors ABP Food Group and Showtime UK who also helped with training over the past 12 months and also kitted out our team with branded clothing.'
