Race Across the World star dies aged 24 in tragic car crash
Former BBC star Sam Gardiner, known for his appearance on Race Across the World, has tragically died following a car crash in Manchester. The 24 year old was involved in a devastating road accident last week when his vehicle dramatically careened off the A34 on Monday, 26 May, rolling and ending up on its side, confirmed Greater Manchester Police. The odds of such an event happening to someone with experience navigating global adventures are slim, but the tragedy nevertheless struck the young man who journeyed with his mum Jo on the widely watched BBC programme. In a poignant statement released by his bereft parents Jo and Andrew, they conveyed their overwhelming grief, expressing that they were "devastated" over the loss of their "special" son. Their heartfelt words described how: "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Sam in a terrible accident. Sam left us far too soon, and while words will never fully capture the light, joy and energy he brought into our lives, we hold on to the memories that made him so special." The tender tribute painted a vivid picture of a bright spirit taken prematurely, saying: "He was willing to go wherever the trail might lead and he touched everyone he met on the road. He found great happiness working as a landscape gardener on the west coast of Scotland. "Sam brought warmth, laughter and a smattering of chaos wherever he went. He leaves behind a huge hole in our hearts. We will miss him endlessly, but we'll also remember him with smiles, tall tales, and a depth of love that will never fade". After fighting courageously, Sam succumbed to his injuries, as a spokesperson from the Greater Manchester Police somberly reported: "We sadly must confirm that the driver of a white VW Golf R estate involved in a single vehicle collision on Monday 26 May on the A34 in Gatley has since passed away from his injuries.", reports the Express. "The driver, a 24 year old man, has been identified as Sam Gardiner. His family have been notified and are receiving support from specially trained officers. They have requested privacy during this dreadful time. We'd like to express our gratitude to everyone who shared our appeal and sent their best wishes to Sam and his family." At the time following the accident, the police stated: "Emergency services attended the scene and the driver, a 24 year old man, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, sustained serious head injuries and was transported to hospital where he remains in a critical and life-threatening condition." Since the tragic news was reported, a spokesperson for Race Across the World said: "Everyone who worked with him and indeed everyone who watched Sam could see just how valuable and transformative the journey was for both him and his mum, Jo. "Sam embraced the seven-week trip with an energy, love and a determination that saw the pair enjoy adventures across Mexico to Argentina making audiences fall in love with them and their special bond as a result. "Since filming, both Sam and Jo have been an integral part of the Race Across the World cast family and on behalf of us all from the BBC, production and the rest of the cast, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to his parents, Andrew and Jo; his brothers, William and Charlie; his step mum Justine; his family and friends." The landscape gardener featured alongside his mother Jo in the second series of the BBC show, which was broadcast in 2020, journeying across South America. They had to bow out during the last stretch of the race due to a cash shortage, yet both mum and son have called the adventure "life-changing."

What makes Saif Ali Khan ‘hate' coming to home? We bet you'll agree with his answer
Saif Ali Khan's talent extends far beyond his film roles. In his personal life, he juggles multiple important roles — as a father, husband, professional, and son, managing them all with calm dignity. Recently, he revealed his own definition of success: being truly present for his loved ones. The actor expressed his frustration at coming home only to find his children already asleep, feeling disappointed that he couldn't spend quality time with them. During the Arab Media Summit, Saif Ali Khan explained that, unlike the industry's usual emphasis on constant hustle, his concept of success is quite different. He described success as being centered around calmness, routine, and prioritizing family over chaos. He emphasized the importance of everyday moments that often go unnoticed but truly define a person once the cameras stop rolling. 'I hate coming home and seeing the kids already asleep. That's not success. Success is being able to say, 'No, I need to go home now to catch that half hour with them,'" he said and then added, 'We get four holidays a year, and when my kids are on break, I don't work. That time is sacred." Reflecting on this stage of his life, Saif shared that he is at an age where he needs to care for both his mother and his children. He remarked that initially, one assumes they only have to check on their parents, but eventually realizes the responsibility extends to both generations The Tashan actor emphasized that being present goes beyond mere physical presence; he highlighted the significance of showing up in small, everyday moments that often go unnoticed but are crucial for holding everything together. The Jewel Thief actor mentioned that while work is important, activities like cooking pasta together, sharing meals, and spending quality time with the children form the true foundation of life. Saif's viewpoint is straightforward and deeply rooted in reality. The Race actor believes that true success isn't about being in the limelight but is found in the simple, quiet moments, around the dinner table, during school holidays, and in prioritizing time with loved ones over public attention. He expressed that, for him, success and privilege mean having the freedom to say no to work and yes to spending time with his family.

Oliver Bearman slapped with 10-place grid drop for F1 Monaco GP
Oliver Bearman has been hit with a 10-place grid penalty for this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix after overtaking Carlos Sainz under red flag conditions during second practice. The Haas Formula 1 rookie overtook the Williams driver at La Rascasse after the session was red-flagged early on for Oscar Piastri's crash at Sainte Devote. Advertisement According to an FIA report, Haas informed Bearman 'rather late' and 'just before the overtake happened', but video footage showed a light panel directly in front of him at the time. 'The dashboard also indicated the red flag well before the overtake took place,' the report added. 'The regulations require the drivers to 'immediately' reduce speed and proceed slowly back to their respective pits. The same regulations caution drivers of the fact that in a red flag situation, 'overtaking is forbidden' and that drivers should 'remember that race and service vehicles may be on the track'. 'The driver claimed that he saw the red flags but decided not to slow down abruptly because he felt that slowing down abruptly would have been more dangerous and that what he did was a safer way of handling the situation. Oliver Bearman, Haas F1 Team Oliver Bearman, Haas F1 Team Peter Fox / Getty Images Peter Fox / Getty Images Advertisement 'We disagreed with his decision to not take steps to slow down sufficiently to avoid overtaking another car and instead proceeding slowly back to the pits, as required. 'The whole purpose of requiring drivers to slow down immediately is for safety – they will not know what is in front of them or the reason for the red flag being shown. This is particularly so in a track like Monaco. 'In the circumstances, there is no mitigating factor for the fact that he overtook a car under a red flag and we therefore imposed a penalty of a 10 grid place drop for the Race and 2 penalty points.' It comes after Bearman had finished 15th in both Friday practice sessions, causing the 20-year-old to admit it was a 'tough' day but was positive for the rest of the weekend. Advertisement 'We did a good step with the car from FP1 to FP2 and I was pretty happy with the balance,' Bearman told F1TV. 'We tried to short run the medium and see how its performance was across one lap and it seemed pretty robust. 'We need to see where we stand because I did my performance laps on medium, which was quite different to some of the others. I think there's some good signs from today and let's hope to build on them and improve tomorrow.'
