SOME of the world’s best snooker players return to the table for the highly anticipated 2025 Shanghai Masters – and the seven-day competition promises to be nothing short of thrilling.

Ronnie O’Sullivan’s dreams of clinching the title for an unprecedented fifth year in a row got shattered by Judd Trump during the 2024 competition.

1

The world No 1 dismantled The Rocket in a dominant semi-final, before going on to lift the trophy with an 11-5 win in the showpiece match against Shaun Murphy.

But it was a final that began with an emotional minute’s silence for snooker legend Ray Reardon who sadly passed away after having cancer.

Fast forward a year later, O’Sullivan has been dumped out once again but by Kyren Wilson this time.

And there will certainly be a new winner as reigning champion Judd Trump has also suffered an early exit.

LOVE Island 2025 is coming to an end, with two old islanders returning to the fold in the penultimate week, before being booted off again — one of them for the second time this series.

With the drama continuing to simmer beneath the surface, we’re surely in for a heated conclusion to this year’s summer of love.

31

31

Who left Love Island?

On July 31, 2025, the night’s episode ended with a text revealing: “Islanders. The public have been voting for their favourite couple.

“The couple with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island is…”

Helena and Blu were voted the least popular and told they would be leaving the villa immediately.

Helena Ford

31

Helena joined Love Island 2025 as OG islander, and her time on the show was packed with drama.

She initially coupled with Conor, but soon switched to Harry — then there was the love triangle involving herself, Shakira and Harry.

Alongside Blu, she was booted off the show on Thursday, July 31, having been voted the public’s least favourite remaining couple.

Blu Chegini

31

In probably the most savage scene on Love Island this year, Blu Chegini was dumped from the villa.

After Shea and Remell slow-mo walked their way into the hearts of the girls, only one managed to couple up as Alima picked Remell.

Blu was therefore left single alongside Shea and in a cruel twist, the pair had to decide which one of them should leave.

After the pair exchanged a war of words and were left decision-less, the choice fell to the group, who picked to keep newbie Shea.

However, his exit was only temporary as he has returned for the show’s penultimate week.

But then he was dumped YET AGAIN after being voted the least popular couple alongside Helena.

Billykiss Azeez

31

Billykiss was dumped from the villa after her fellow islanders decided to save Angel over her.

She said: “Obviously it’s sad for your journey to be cut short but I’m very happy with the experience I had.

“I made some great friendships and explored some connections, which unfortunately didn’t blossom into anything.

“Overall it was a very eventful experience.”

She left one day after her current flame Boris.

Boris Vidovic

31

The Casa Amor bombshell was kicked out alongside fellow least popular islander Emily.

Boris was in a couple with Billykiss upon his return from Casa Amor, but quickly found a spark with fellow bombshell Emma Munro.

Boris said: “Someone has to be dumped, but I’m a little bit sad that I was voted the least favourite.”

Emma Munro

31

Emma caused shockwaves during her time in the villa, with it being revealed that she was Harry Cooksley’s ex-girlfriend of five years!

While she found romance with other Islanders, it also seemed like there was a potential reunion on the cards for the ex flames, although that never came to fruition.

On her exit, Emma said: “I feel fine.

“I had a good run and I left with my love interest, so I think it was the best way to go.”

Harrison Solomon

31

The love triangle that gripped and concerned the nation was the ultimate cause for Harrison leaving the villa.

The 22-year-old decided to leave the villa after he was unable to choose between Toni and Lauren, leaving them both in tears.

As a result, Women’s Aid issued a statement condemning his behaviour and criticising the ITV reality show for perpetuating misogyny and sexism.

Lauren Wood

31

After the arrival of new bombshell Angel, the Islanders played the Couple of Sorts game, where they were asked to predict which three boys Angel would find the most attractive.

Conor was placed third, with Harry second and Ty coming out on top.

Ty then received a text telling him that he had been coupled up with Angel, leaving Lauren single and, therefore, dumped from the villa.

Lauren’s time in the villa was cut short, but managed to find herself tangled up in the love triangle with Toni and Harrison.

Lucy Quinn

31

While Lucy managed to outlast many of her fellow Casa Amor entrants.

But her time in the villa came to an end in yet another twist.

Lucy was dumped alongside new beau Tommy after Shakira and Ty decided they were the least compatible couple…

Tommy Bradley

31

Tommy was another OG boy brutally dumped from the villa after another couple believed him and Lucy to be the least compatible couple.

Reflecting on his Love Island journey, Tommy said he is “really proud” to have put himself outside of his comfort zone and is “grateful for the opportunity”.

The 22-year-old’s exit from the villa definitely made an impact, considering he was one of the last remaining original boys.

Ben Holbrough

31

Ben fell foul of the OG exodus, after leaving in a brutal twist.

The 23-year-old found himself dumped as one half of the latest least compatible couple.

He said in his exit interview: “A lot of the older guys in there spoke to me and helped me deal with situations better.

I’m definitely coming out of the Villa a better person.

“And of course, I’m leaving with Andrada, she’s a gorgeous girl and I’m looking forward to getting to know her on the outside.”

Andrada Pop

31

After Ben and Andrada received the fewest votes from the public, their time in the villa was over, and while Andrada’s time was short-lived, it didn’t come without its fireworks.

The Miss Bikini Ireland 2019 winner entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell and tempted Ben.

But just as she finished unpacking, the Irish beauty was sent packing.

At least she won’t have to worry about an airport transfer with her new private hire taxi driver beau.

The Casa Amor Fallen

Emily Moran

31

Emily was a pre-existing Love Islander before Casa Amor, but found herself single after Tommy’s head was turned.

Lucy caught his eye, and Emily did not manage to find a connection with anyone new, leaving her at risk of being dumped.

Reflecting on how it felt to be leaving the villa, Emily said: “I had the best time. I don’t feel sad about leaving, it was my time to go. I stayed true to myself. I wouldn’t change it for the world!”

Giorgio Russo

31

Giorgio didn’t have long in the villa and his decision to remain single after Casa Amor only backfired as he was then dumped from the Island.

He said: “I had the best time. I don’t feel sad about leaving, it was my time to go. I stayed true to myself. I wouldn’t change it for the world!”

Giorgio’s summer holidays did not end there as he immediately flew out to Switzerland to support Lioness sister Alessia in her bid for back-to-back Euro glory.

Rheo Parnell

31

Rheo had a connection with Harry in Casa Amor but he chose to recouple with Helena, which meant Rheo was single and therefore dumped.

Asked how it felt to be leaving the villa, Rheo said: “It feels bittersweet, I think I was led astray slightly by Harry.

“But who’s going to be shocked by that really, Harry’s going to be Harry! I don’t think anyone should trust him.”

Yas Broom

31

Yas time in the villa came to an abrupt end when no one chose to recouple with her in Casa Amor.

The Manchester-based DJ and former X Factor contestant was another victim of the brutal Casa Amor.

“It feels a bit surreal,” she said when asked how it felt to leave the villa.

“I feel like it definitely went really quick, I wish I had a bit longer in there. I made some great connections!”

Chris Middleton

31

Unfortunately for Chris, none of the girls chose to recouple with him.

He told ITV: “We all go in there looking for a spark and a connection and you know quite quickly if you’ve found that. While people were saying it was wide open, there were quite a few girls that were sticking with their original boys. Grateful for the experience.

“Met a great group of lads and spent time in the main villa so you can’t turn your nose up at that, I just wish it was for longer.”

Martin Enitan

31

Martin was the second Casa Amor boy to not be chosen to return to the main villa, and was dumped from the Island.

He said: “[I feel] gutted obviously but still grateful for the experience.

“Even if it didn’t work out, overall it was great to know everyone because they were mad lovely.”

Alima Gagigo

31

Fans were gutted by the exit of OG Alima, who was sent packing after failing to make a romantic connection with Remell.

As one of the originals, she failed to make it to Casa Amor, and meet a potential new connection.

Alima said upon her exit: “It’s a mix of emotions, I’ve been there since the start, so it’s bittersweet, but at the same time, I just can’t wait to wear no makeup for days and weeks now!”

Ryan Bannister

31

Having only just arrived in the villa, it’s safe to say Ryan’s dumping was slightly overshadowed by the exit of long-standing islander Alima.

Ryan entered the villa as a bombshell alongside Billykiss Azeez and set his sights on Toni Laites and Shakira, however he failed to turn heads and was dumped after just 48 hours.

Still, it appears the late arrival enjoyed his time in Majorca, saying: “Being in the villa and seeing it first-hand was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As short as it was, it was still amazing.”

Remell Mullins

31

Remell was victim to a dreaded public vote.

The public were tasked with choosing their favourite boy and girl in the villa, but in a brutal twist it turned out that the islanders with the lowest votes would be sent home.

Remell ended up being revealed as the man with the fewest votes, behind Ben and Harry.

Earlier in the week, Alima had ended things with Remell after she discovered he had repeatedly kissed bombshell Poppy while on the sleepover.

Karma is real…

Megan Clarke

31

Megan was another victim of the public vote which saw Remell leave the villa.

It emerged she had received the fewest votes when the viewers had been asked to pick their favourite boy and girl, with her receiving the least out of her, Shakira and Toni.

It had been a dramatic week after Megan built a connection with Conor, leading to the end of things with Tommy, with whom she had seemed to be in a secure couple.

After the bottom three were revealed to be her, Shakira and Toni, it was confirmed that she would be the one packing her bags.

But her exit was only temporary as she returned for the final week.

Shea Mannings

31

The exit of Shea was the biggest shock of the night.

After Helena, Dejon, Emily and Remell had all been chosen by the new bombshells to enter the sleepover villa, they were then told by Maya  to choose if they wanted to stick in their current couple or recouple.

The former cabin crew hostess, Helena, was the only one who decided to recouple, choosing Lioness Alessia Russo’s bombshell brother, Giorgio.

The decision left Shea single, and after receiving a text telling the semi-professional footballer that his time was up, he knew he was not getting any extra time in the villa.

After leaving, the dad-of-one shared his thoughts on his relationship with Helena.

He said: “I think it was more of a friendship to be honest, so she was probably correct to make her decision.

“It was just a friend thing but we were going to explore it anyway.”

He added: “Obviously you never know, but as soon as I found out I was single, I kind of knew my time was up. I was just gutted.”

Caprice Alexandra

31

Caprice was one of two blonde bombshells to have entered the villa to shake up the couples.

However, the 26-year-old nursery owner was sent back to Romford after Dejon decided to stick with his partner Meg.

But after leaving the villa, Caprice did not hold back about the reason she left.

She said: “I expected it. From the beginning I felt like he knew what he was going to do.

“I think he’s playing a bit of a game though, but I expected it from him.”

Poppy Harrison

31

As the second of our blonde bombshells to enter the villa in recent days, Poppy chose to try and steal Remell.

She invited the influencer to the sleepover villa, but failed to win him over.

Instead Remell chose to stay coupled with Alima, leaving Poppy single.

After leaving the villa, Poppy was confused on why she had been dumped.

The bombshell said: “[I am] shocked and surprised.

“I feel like Remell perhaps didn’t go with his true feelings, he said less than 12 hours before on the truth or dare game that he’d recouple with me, and he wanted to take things further.”

Will Means

31

Will was yet another bombshell who made an early exit.

The Norfolk-born and bred fitness trainer and farmer chose to swoon Emily.

But while Will means well, he was no match for 25-year-old Irish rugby player Conor.

Emily chose to stick with Conor, leaving Will single.

Malisha Jordan

31

It had been a relatively calm week ahead of Wednesday’s night mass axing.

Before the four islanders were dumped, Malisha was the most recent singleton to leave the villa on June 18.

The 24-year-old teaching assistant was a late arrival to the villa.

She had tried to win the heart of Dejon, who decided to stay coupled with original beau Meg, leaving Malisha single.

She was not alone after Toni had also been left single in a dramatic recoupling.

However, the choice came down to 22-year-old Harrison Solomon to decide the girls’ fate.

Malisha’s time in the villa came to an end after Harrison decided to save Toni.

Sophie Lee

On June 11, 2025, former fire-breather Sophie Lee was dumped in a brutal twist, making her the first islander to leave the villa.

31

The 29-year-old was evicted from the villa after newly-single Shakira Khan picked Harry Cooksley, sending Sophie home immediately. 

The previous night, Shakira had found herself single after bombshell Toni Laites, 24, picked to couple up with Ben Holbrough, leaving Shakira to graft all with all the coupled-up boys. 

Maya Jama returned to the villa, revealing the shock twist that the lads could nominate themselves to recouple with Shakira. 

But partners were left stunned as Blu Chegini, Conor Phillips, and Harry Cooksley all stepped forward. 

Shakira still struggled to decide, asking Maya if the girl would immediately be dumped, but eventually, Sophie was given her marching orders. 

31

Who is still in the Love Island villa?

Love Island kicked off with 14 singletons looking to make waves in the villa.

While originally also meant to feature Kyle Ashman, the 23-year-old was axed from the show days before the launch after it was revealed that he was wrongly suspected to be involved in a machete attack. 

Here’s who remains in the villa.

• Megan Clarke
• Angel Swift
• Cach Mercer
• Ty Isherwood
• Jamie Rhodes
• Yasmin Pettet
• Toni Laites
• Conor Phillips
• Shakira Khan
• Harry Cooksley
• Megan Moore
• Dejon Noel-Williams

How to watch Love Island 2025?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Maya Jama returns in her third year of hosting the show, after starting on the show in 2023, with the reality show filmed on the Spanish island of Majorca. 

HOLLYWOOD actress and model Pamela Anderson has been married — and divorced — a number of times over the years.

She’s currently in a relationship with Oscar-nominated megastar Liam Neeson — here we get to know the blonde bombshell’s former husbands.

In late July 2025, rumors started swirling that Liam Neeson, 73, and Pamela Anderson, 58, were romantically involved.

After making a reboot of The Naked Gun movies together, Liam said of Pam: “I’m madly in love with her.”

He also joked that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun, which opened on August 1, 2025, was “the sex scenes”.

The pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator for those scenes, with Liam adding: “I’d never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, ‘OK! Excuse me!’.”

And Pam said of her co-star: “I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he’s a good guy.”

She added: “He really is a silly guy. He acts like a silly little boy sometimes.”

So with Pam’s new romance truly blossoming, here we take a look at her previous husbands.

Who are Pamela Anderson’s ex-husbands?

Pamela Anderson has been married six times.

Dan Hayhurst

9

Most recently, Pamela married her bodyguard after falling in love during the Covid lockdown.

On January 20, 2022, a year after the pair wed, it was announced that Pamela had filed for divorce from Dan.

“I’m exactly where I need to be – in the arms of a man who truly loves me,” Anderson told the Daily Mail at the time.

Tommy Lee

9

Pamela’s first marriage was to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in 1995.

The pair got hitched just four days after meeting, and shortly after their whirlwind wedding, their sex tape sensationally leaked online.

Anderson and Lee were married for three years and had two sons together, Brandon and Dylan.

They split after Lee assaulted Anderson while Dylan was still young. After Lee served six months in jail, he and Anderson reunited, at some point, but ultimately split again in 2001.

They reconciled once more in 2008 and even lived together, but their reunion was short-lived.

Kid Rock

9

Anderson was married to musician Kid Rock from 2006 to 2007.

They got together in 2001, became engaged in 2002, and broke up in 2003. Three years later, they announced their second engagement to the world.

Anderson suffered a miscarriage while the pair were married and the two divorced shortly after, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Rick Salomon

9

In 2007, Anderson revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she was engaged to Rick Salomon.

That year, the two wed at The Mirage in Las Vegas, but they divorced just ten weeks later citing “irreconcilable differences.”

In February 2008, the marriage was officially annulled on the basis of fraud.

On the Ellen show again in 2014, she told the host that she and Salomon were friends with benefits. Saloman and Anderson remarried again that year, but they divorced in 2015.

Jon Peters

9

Anderson first dated Jon Peters over thirty years ago.

“There are beautiful girls everywhere,” Peters, a film producer, told The Hollywood Reporter. 

“I could have my pick, but for 35 years I’ve only wanted Pamela. She makes me wild — in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her the way she deserves to be treated.”

The two wed in a secret ceremony in January 2020. Anderson wrote a poem about Lee and provided it to the outlet. It read:

“Jon is the original ‘bad boy’ of Hollywood/ no one compares/ I love him deeply like family. His life used to scare me. So much for a girl like me. Now I’ve seen more of life and realize. He’s been there all along. Never failed me/ I’m ready now and he’s ready too/ We understand and respect each other/ We love each other without conditions/ I’m a lucky woman/ Proof God has a plan.”

9

They divorced just twelve days after they married.

Anderson denied their union in a tweet after the pair separated, saying: “Pamela Anderson was never legally married to Jon Peters (life long family friend) no hard feelings – no Marraige [sic], no Divorce… just a bizarre theatrical lunch – Pamela has a good sense of humor about it.”

THE Lionesses are champions of Europe once again after BEATING Spain in the Euros final.

Sarina Wiegman’s side got their revenge for the 2023 World Cup final, beating Spain on penalties.

England retained the title they won the Euros in 2022 against Germany at Wembley.

In the World Cup final, Mary Earps made a huge save, but in her absence, Hannah Hampton stepped up, and saved TWO penalties in the shootout.

LIVE – Watch all the action from England vs Spain as it happens

The Lionesses celebrated in style after their 2022 victory in front of home fans.

SunSport can reveal if there will be celebrations as emphatic if they once again triumph in the final.

Will there be a victory parade if the Lionesses win the Euros?

There have been no confirmed plans of a trophy parade ahead of the final.

However, after the 2022 Euros triumph, the Lionesses held an event at Trafalgar Square, where they paraded the trophy.

The action was shown live on the BBC.

SunSport will keep you updated on any developments, after the Lionesses won tonight.

THE Open is set to return to Royal Portrush THIS WEEK for the 153rd edition of the iconic golf tournament.

Some huge names will feature in Northern Ireland, including home hero Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy is eyeing another Major title after he ended his 11-year drought by winning the Masters in April.

The golf icon failed to make the cut in 2019 when The Open was last hosted at Portrush.

Shane Lowry was victorious when the tournament was last played on the prestigious Northern Irish course.

To this day, it’s Lowry’s only Major win, and he will be looking to repeat history this week.

Some huge names feature in the star-studded 156-player field – but is Tiger Woods one of them?

Is Tiger Woods playing at The Open 2025?

Tiger Woods will NOT feature at the 153rd Open as he continues to recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

His absence means the three-time Claret Jug winner will have missed all four of the annual Major tournaments.

Woods last competed in a PGA Tour event 12 months ago, when The Open was held at Royal Troon.

The 15-time Major champion missed the cut in his last outing.

How to watch The Open 2025

In the UK, The Open will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Golf throughout the tournament.

Sky Sports customers can live stream all the action via the NOW/Sky Sports app.

In the US, the tournament will be aired on USA, NBC Sports and Peacock.

All eyes turn to the capital, as tennis superstars, celebrities, royalty and tens of thousands of fans descend on Wimbledon for two weeks of non-stop action.

Back-to-back winner Carlos Alcaraz is looking to build on a thrilling Roland Garros victory over rival and world No 1 Jannik Sinner this summer.

The 22-year-old star has already gone one better in SW19 than Rafael Nadal as the only Spaniard to win the men’s singles tournament in consecutive years, with two Nadal’s two titles in 2008 and 2010 split by Roger Federer in 2009.

Furthermore, Alcaraz goes into the tournament fresh off a Queen’s Club win after beating Jiri Lehecka by straight sets.

Last year’s women’s finalist Jasmine Paolini will be among names such as Coco Cauff and Arnya Sabalenka in the list of women looking for their first singles title at Wimbledon.

Gauff and Sabalenka were Roland Garros finalists, while Paolini won the women’s doubles title alongside Sara Errani.

Barbora Krejcikova is the defending women’s champion but has endured an injury-hit season and lost in the first round at Queen’s.

When is Wimbledon 2025?

• Wimbledon 2025 takes place over the course of two weeks in the summer
• The tournament will be played between Monday, June 30 and Sunday, July 13.
• The men’s singles final will be on Sunday, July 13 while the women’s singles final will be on Saturday, July 12.

How to watch Wimbledon 2025 for FREE in the UK

Wimbledon remains FREE to watch in the UK in 2025.

The BBC will show ALL of the action from the capital this summer.

While they will remain the main domestic broadcaster of the tournament, TNT Sports will show the men’s and women’s singles finals, as well as a 90 minute highlight package each day.

This comes as part of a deal that Eurosport had held with the All England Lawn Tennis Club before they were bought out by TNT Sports.

However, full coverage will remain free, as mentioned above, on the BBC.

It will be broadcast across BBC TV channels, the BBC Sport website and can be live streamed on iPlayer.

Alternatively, SunSport will be running a blog with all the latest news and live action as it happens from the All England Club.

Are tickets still available for Wimbledon 2025?

In short, yes – tickets are still available for EVERY day of Wimbledon.

It is a much tougher ask to guarantee exactly which matches you could see on a specific day, however.

The ballot for specific matches and tickets has closed but Wimbledon remains one of the only remaining sporting events where the public can buy tickets on the day of play.

The Queue remains a very popular way to attend the event, although we’d advise early arrival (or even the night before).

Each day it is possible to purchase a limited number of Show Court tickets or Grounds tickets.

The different tickets will allow specific access to certain courts.

There is limited availability on both, but tickets do also frequently become available later in the day should those already inside choose to leave.

Wimbledon also offers a variety of hospitality packages which includes fine-dining, complimentary drinks, prime seating, a concierge service and buggy shuttles to the Gate.

Alternatively, tickets for specific matches on Centre Court, Court 1 and elsewhere are available to purchase on secondary ticket sites such as StubHub.

Hospitality packages can also be purchased via Seat Unique.

*Please note that StubHub and similar secondary ticket resale sites may list tickets above face value.*

Wimbledon Ticket Options

There are a range of ways to get into Wimbledon…

The Queue

As one of the only major sporting events that allows guests to purchase tickets on the day of the event, demand is high.

Each day a large queue forms of people wanting either a Grounds or Show Court ticket – with many even arriving the night before and camping to guarantee a place.

Upon arrival, visitors are issued a Queue Card, which is numbered and dated and should be kept until a ticket has been purchased.

While there is a limited number of entries, it is possible to remain in the queue and wait for people already inside to leave, with those tickets then becoming available.

It is also possible to check the status of the queue on the Wimbledon website.

This year, organisers are asking potential queuers to download the Wimbledon app and create a myWimbledon account.

Show Tickets

If you get to the front of the queue, then there are a limited number of tickets available for purchase for Centre Court and Courts 1, 2 and 3.

ES Tunis qualified for the CWC via the Confederations of African Football rankings, after Al Ahly won the CAF Champions League three times in the qualifying period.

They could even secure themselves a shock knockout spot with an upset win against the Blues.

A stunning win over LAFC has them level on points with Chelsea in Group D.

The Blues qualified after their Champions League win in 2021 – and for the first time in the competition, will not come up against a member of the 2021 winning squad.

ENGLAND will be represented by a double dose of Luke this week as Littler and Humphries pair up at the World Cup of Darts 2025 – and the action is unfolding RIGHT NOW!

The men’s England football team failed to bring it home during the Euro 2024, but Luke Humphries and Michael Smith made the nation proud in last year’s World Cup of Darts.

A combination of composure and superb throwing saw Cool Hand and Bully Boy beat their Austrian opponents 10-6 in an epic final.

And it was a result that wrote England’s name in the history books as they now hold the record for the most amount of wins in the iconic competition with five.

Sadly for Smith, his world ranking positioning meant he missed out on the chance to retain back-to-back titles.

And England could have done with him after Luke Littler and Humphries got dumped out by Germany in their opening match.

Welsh stars Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price are now firm favourites to lift the title.

He said: “This is a slightly tense topic. My missus wasn’t the happiest with this fight date.

“She is due a week later but it is Portman Road. It’s not just any fight, it’s the one at Portman Road. She said, ‘Yeah I know but…’

“They say the chances are that the first one comes late but who knows.”

On fighting at Portman Road, he added: “Of course it comes with pressure. But pressure is a privilege. Being here is a privilege.

“Being able to fight here is a privilege and I think I have proven throughout my career that I do well under pressure.

“I like it. When the lights are bright, when the occasion is big, it’s when you get the best from me.

Huni told Sporting News: “I want to go over there and make them never forget my name.

“Fighting over there in his hometown, I feel like there’s no pressure on me, all the pressure’s on him.

“He has to come and perform for his people.

“At the end of the day, I don’t know anyone there and a lot of them might not even know me. They’ll know after, that’s it.”

JACK DRAPER is not only a huge rising star in tennis but also models for fashion magazines including Vogue.

But who is the Tennis-playing supermodel dating? Here’s everything you need to know about British No 1 – who has reached the semi-final of the US Open.

3

3

Who is Jack Draper?

Jack was born on 22 December 2001, in Sutton, Surrey.

He is a star both on and off the court, as he has been ranked as high as No.25 in singles – although he will likely climb the rankings after his heroics at the US Open.

Although he is yet to win a Grand Slam, tennis is something that runs in his family.

His brother, Ben, is a former pro and his mum, Nicky, is a junior champion turned coach.

His father was even the chief executive of the LTA (Lawn Tennis Association), which is the national governing body of tennis in Great Britain, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man.

Jack is known for his unusual way of playing tennis.

He plays left-handed despite the fact that he is naturally right-handed.

This unique style allows him to play a backhand like a second forehand.

Who has Jack modelled for?

Jack is signed to IMG Models, an agency that has also signed Gisele Bündchen and Heidi Klum.

In 2024, the 6ft 4in star was featured in Vogue wearing some big labels, from Loewe to Louis Vuitton.

He has even attracted the attention of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who sat in his box to watch his decisive victory over Tomáš  Macháč.

Who has Jack Draper dated?

The tennis star and Vogue model is notoriously private about his love life and has said that he spends a lot of time on the court.

Even when Zendaya, the star of Luca Guadagnino’s 2024 tennis film Challengers, attended one of Jack’s matches he didn’t notice.

3

He told Tatler:  “I’m not that great with celebrities.

“We were at the US Open last year and everyone was making a big fuss over this girl who walked in and I had no idea who she was. I think she was called Zendaya?”

When asked about whether the film’s raunchy take on tennis is accurate, he said: “I wouldn’t know much about that.

“Right now I’m giving myself the best chance to progress and beat the best players in the world.”

Jack is known to be close with British tennis superstar Emma Raducanu.

In a fashion shoot with Vogue, he described Emma as “a real special talent”.

However, there isn’t much to suggest that the close pals are anything more than friends.

AN entrepreneur whose clients include former contestants on the show has passed the audition to join the cast of Love Island 2025.

Here’s what we know about Rose Selway, who could be looking for love in the latest series of the nation’s favourite dating show.

Who is Rose Selway?

Rose Selway runs 12 aesthetics clinics, boasting a famous clientele including former Love Islanders Lucinda Strafford and Jessy Potts.

The 24-year-old beauty salon owner from Devon has passed the audition to join the cast of Love Island 2025.

With her background in the beauty industry, Rose would be somewhat of a breath of fresh air on the show — a change from the usual array of models and influencers.

Her entrepreneurial spirit and business experience could make her a formidable presence in the villa.

Rose’s inclusion in the show could also indicate a growing interest in featuring contestants with real-world professional experience.

However, as of June 2, 2025, it has not been confirmed exactly if or when Rose will enter the Love Island villa. 

She has opened up about her own plastic surgery, which includes a nose job and botox.

‘It’s my whole world’

Rose said of her company: “Aesthetics isn’t just my job, it’s my whole world.

“I absolutely love it and adore every single one of you I meet day in and day out.

“The confidence I bring you all makes me burst with joy.”

Although Rose is ready to enter the show after passing the Love Island audition process, the show’s bosses are yet to make their final decision on the starting line-up.

A source told MailOnline: “Rose is friends with many former stars of the show so has a good idea what it’s like being in the villa and now she finally has the chance to experience it herself.”

Love Island 2025 start date

ITV has revealed that Love Island 2025 will kick off on Monday, June 9.

3

The action starts at 9pm on ITV2, with host Maya Jama welcoming a brand new set of sexy singletons into the famous villa.

As per Love Island tradition, the show usually starts the week after the last May Bank Holiday.

In a trailer for the new series, Maya teased the return of Love Island by saying this instalment will bring “more twists and turns”.

She added: “This year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder, I want ideas.

“This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more makeups.

“I want more twists, I want more twists than ever.”

Contestants in the mix for Love Island 2025 so far

Ollie signed a new five-year contract in 2020 as he moved from Brentford to Aston Villa.

The former Brentford striker has blossomed in his time in the Midlands and in particular since new manager Unai Emery has come to the club.

Playing as a sole striker in the team, his performances has seen him make five appearances in Gareth Southgate‘s England squads.

Emery spoke about Watkins “The striker is very important to me. I spoke with [Watkins] at the beginning about the relationship here. 

“I told him that I want the best of you and the way he is doing; practising, being humble to improve. This is the way.

“Then, he has a big career to do in his future. It’s very important as well to try and speak about other players because he is not going to score if his team-mates aren’t helping him to do it.

“For us, Ollie Watkins is very important. He’s not only scoring but his commitment every day, trying to add more work, watching his clips.”

CRYSTAL PALACE are taking on Manchester City in a stunning FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium!

The Eagles headed into the match on the back of a mixed season in the league, but have ended the campaign in good form.

Palace boss Oliver Glasner has had a huge impact on the side since his arrival at Selhurst Park in February 2024.

Glasner said ahead of the FA Cup final: “I’m very pleased. Not just with the improvements, but I think with the environment we have created here at the training ground and also in the club.

“We are very ambitious, everyone is working very hard to progress, and this is the main reason why we are where we are now at the end of the season.

FA CUP FINAL LIVE – LATEST UPDATES

“We are really settled in mid-table and looking at the teams in front of us more than looking at the teams who are behind us.

“We are also playing the FA Cup final and very pleased with what has happened in the last 15-16 months.”

Have Crystal Palace ever won a trophy?

Crystal Palace won the Second Division twice in their history – in 1979 and in 1994.

They have also been promoted via the playoffs four times – 1989, 1997, 2004 and in 2013.

However, what is considered a top-flight honour has eluded the club so far.

While the club have now reached three FA Cup finals, including taking Manchester United to a replay in 1990.

United won 1-0 in the replay after the original clash ended in a 3-3 draw.

Before their final in 2025, the last time Palace were in an FA Cup final was in 2016.

Palace also played United that day, but lost 2-1 after extra-time in a match famed for manager Alan Pardew’s dance with the side 1-0 up.

Winning the FA Cup today will send The Eagles into the Europe.

The last and only time they played in Europe was the 1998 UEFA Intertoto Cup, but were knocked out in the third round to Turkish side Samsunspor.

Eurovision 2025 is well underway, with the song contest returning to Switzerland, where the very first of its competitions was held way back in 1956.

The first semi-final of Eurovison 2025 took place on Tuesday, May 13, and the second was held on Thursday, May 15.

Eurovision’s showpiece, the Grand Final, follows on Saturday, May 17.

Voting rules

There are some important rules to keep in mind when voting in Eurovision 2025:

• You cannot vote for your own country’s entry
• Each person is allowed to vote up to 20 times, but only once per act per voting method
• Voting is open to viewers in all participating countries, as well as the “Rest of the World” — i.e. non-participating countries
• In the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final, all participating countries are eligible to vote, not only those competing in the final itself
• Votes from the Rest of the World are aggregated and count as one additional set of points.

Voting windows

For the Eurovision 2025 Grand Final on Saturday, 17 May 2025, voting opens just before the first song is performed and stays open until about 40 minutes after the last song finishes.

If you are voting from the Rest of the World, online voting opens at midnight on the day of the final and closes when the live show begins.

During the Grand Final, voting for the Rest of the World also opens just before the first song is performed, and will again remain open until approximately 40 minutes after the last song has been sung.

How to vote

Voting in Eurovision 2025 involves two main methods.

You can vote for your favourite acts by telephone, using either a landline or a mobile phone.

Another popular method is through the official Eurovision app, which is available on iOS, Android and Windows devices.

In some countries voting by SMS is also possible, but not in the UK.

In countries where voting my SMS is possible, the appropriate numbers will be displayed on-screen by each participating broadcaster, as well as on the official voting website — esc.vote, which also features a countdown to the next Eurovision broadcast.

Phone

To vote by phone, the relevant numbers will appear on-screen.

4

Use the long (11-digit) number for your chosen country if calling from a landline, or the short (7-digit) number if using a mobile phone.

Note that shortcodes may not work in the Channel Islands or Isle of Man.

App

Alternatively, you can use the official Eurovision app to cast your vote.

Simply download it from your device’s app store, then during the show, follow the prompts to cast your vote for your favourite acts.

4

App users will receive a special thank-you message from their chosen performers, adding a nice personal touch to the experience.

Results revealed

As for when the results will be revealed, after voting closes (which is about 40 minutes after the final performance), the results are announced in two main stages.

First, each participating country’s jury points are announced by a national spokesperson.

These points range from one to eight, then 10, and finally 12 points awarded to their top ten acts.

After the jury points are revealed, the combined public televote from each country and the Rest of the World is announced.

This televote dramatically adds to each act’s total score. The winner is the act that achieves the highest combined total of jury and public points.

The results are usually revealed between 11.15pm and midnight, following the conclusion of voting and the interval acts.
