To kickstart her recipe, Ruth first chopped her ingredients off-camera before throwing the lettuce, chopped cucumber and lettuce into a dish. She then placed her cooked prawns in a separate bowl before coating them in a generous spoonful of the M&S Seafood sauce.
Once thoroughly mixed together, she popped the prawns on top of the salad in her serving dish. However, she then realised that a little more dressing was needed.
In light of this, she blended more of the seafood sauce with a tiny splash of milk in another separate bowl. She said this helped to loosen the dressing, which she subsequently drizzled over the salad.

Another person added: “Looks lovely Ruth . Great tasty lunch,” while someone else said: “I need that now please.”
Sir David Beckham has shared an adorable post by his son Romeo, 22, congratulating him on receiving a knighthood – while Cruz and Brooklyn are yet to publicly break their silence

Romeo Beckham has shared a sweet four-word message to his dad after it has been announced in the King’s Birthday Honours List that David Beckham is set to receive a knighthood.
Gone are the days Victoria will be nicknamed Posh, and she really has lived up to the moniker as Victoria, who received an OBE in 2017, also receives a new title with David’s honour, and she will now be known as Lady Victoria Beckham.
Each of the Beckham children are also famous, having grown up in front of the gaze of millions of fans. Although they have earned their own status’ within the world of showbiz, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Beckham won’t get any royal recognition due to their dad’s new title.

Taking to Instagram in the early hours of Saturday, June 14 Romeo shared a black and white image of him and his dad with the words “So proud of you”. David then shared it to his stories. Brooklyn and Cruz are yet to publicly congratulate their dad.

The news comes as the family have been locked in a feud with eldest son Brooklyn, 26. Things came to a head when Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz skipped David’s 50th birthday celebrations as the drama has reportedly resulted in the couple cutting contact with the famous family.
Sir David said in a statement to the PA news agency: “Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.

“To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true. Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation.
“I’m so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I’m grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I’m immensely proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.”

Like every person who has received a knighthood, Sir David will be treated to an official ceremony. The ceremony, which often happens at Buckingham Palace, will see David kneel in front of a monarch – which can be either the King or another member of the Royal Family such as Princess Anne or Prince William – who will then touch the recipient’s shoulder with a sword.

Hairy Biker Dave Myers had “such a generous heart” and “so much love to give,” his grieving widow has said.
Liliana admitted she was “helpless” to fall in love with the TV chef after she met him when he was filming The Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook in Romania. However, she said she fought to “warned him (Dave) not to fall in love” with her because she felt they “were from different worlds”.
She was a single mum with two children, working long hours at a modest hotel in Maramures, Romania while Dave, then 47, was a popular face on TV, whose programme was about to attract millions of viewers. Yet, the chemistry was there and, within two years, Liliana moved to the UK to live with Dave.
“I understood that he was a truly special person, full of warmth, wisdom and spark. I knew we were developing strong feelings for each other, but I warned him not to fall in love with me. There were too many obstacles stacked against us. We were from different worlds and I was a single mother with two children to think of: my son Sergiu, 16, and my daughter Iza, ten,” Liliana said.

Yet, the couple tied the knot in 2011 in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, in front of 150 guests. Marriage bliss was rocked, though, in 2022 when Dave was diagnosed with cancer. The popular TV presenter died in February 2024 with Si by his side.
Liliana added: “We’d hold hands and cry, sometimes unable to move or talk, just despairing at the unfairness of it all. I knew so well the depth of Dave’s pain: the desperation, the helplessness, the anger.
“Desperation for the loss of the peace and safety we’d both worked so hard for and would never get back. Helplessness in the face of this invisible enemy we’d been told was going to conquer us, no matter what we did or tried.
“Anger at the injustice of having his life cut short and for being dragged through all this pain, the hospital appointments and the invasive treatments, knowing there was no way out.”

The mum has a new book out, called Adapted from Dave And Me, in which the widow shares her journey from meeting Dave to his tragic demise. In it, she recalls how Dave fancied her in Romania – but she didn’t realise.

In her interview with the Daily Mail, Liliana said: “I kept my guard up and treated what we had as a friendship, but Dave exuded so much charm and happiness that I gradually realised how much had been lacking in my life. I’d never known anyone with so much vivacity, so much love to give and such a generous heart.
“It was impossible not to like Dave Myers. And, so it turned out for me, impossible not to fall in love with him, either. Despite my warnings, both of us were helpless to it. So in 2007, I moved to the UK with my daughter. My son stayed behind to finish his exams and came a year later.”
Who: Inter Miami vs Al Ahly What: FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Where: Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, United States. When: Saturday, June 14 – 8pm kickoff (00:00 GMT on Sunday, June 15)
How to follow our coverage: We’ll have all the build-up from 6pm (16:00 GMT) on Al Jazeera Sport.
The rebranded and expanded FIFA Club World Cup kicks off on Saturday, and the organisers have picked a plum tie to launch the 32-team tournament.
Inter Miami and their star name, Lionel Messi, take on the most successful side in world football – Egyptian giants Al Ahly.
Al Jazeera takes a look at the first match of the monthlong event.
How did Inter Miami qualify for the Club World Cup?
Miami finished as the club with the most points in Major League Soccer’s (MLS) regular season, handing them a place at the Club World Cup instead of LA Galaxy, who won the MLS Cup, which is regarded as the highest prize in the MLS.
FIFA announced Miami’s addition to the Club World Cup in October after they broke MLS’s regular-season points record with a 6-2 win over New England Revolution to reach 74 points – one better than the previous record set by New England in 2021.

How did Al Ahly qualify for the Club World Cup?
Al Ahly were crowned CAF (Confederation of Africa Football) Champions League winners two seasons ago to qualify for this tournament.
They were, however, dethroned as Africa’s continental kings last season, leading to the departure of the coach, Marcel Koller, following their loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the semifinals of CAF’s showpiece.
Jose Riveiro, who coached Orlando Pirates of South Africa last season, has been appointed as the new coach, and Inter Miami will mark his first game in charge.
Does David Beckham still co-own Inter Miami?
Former England and Manchester United midfielder David Beckham bought a $25m stake in the franchise that would become Inter Miami in 2014. In doing so, he was exercising a clause from his contract during his playing days with the MLS.
Inter Miami eventually debuted in 2020 and is also co-owned by American business magnates, Jorge and Jose Mas, although Beckham is very much the figurehead of the club.

How many Club World Cups has Messi won?
Messi is a two-time winner of the competition. The Argentine forward lifted the trophy with Barcelona on both occasions in 2009 and 2011. He may well come up against his manager at the time.
Much of Miami’s chances rest on Messi’s shoulders. “He’s in good shape this season. There were moments when we had to give him some time to rest, but he’s played the last 15 games, except for the match against Dallas when we rested the entire squad,” said Inter manager Javier Mascherano.
“We were also fortunate he was able to rest during Argentina’s last two games,” he added, referring to Messi playing 111 minutes in Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Colombia earlier this month.
“It’s our responsibility to create the right environment for him to shine.”
Are Al Ahly the most successful club in the world?
Al Ahly have won an astonishing 155 trophies, including their 45th league title this season.
That is balanced against Real Madrid’s 15 UEFA Champions League titles in the world’s premier club competition, along with the Spanish giants claiming the La Liga title on 36 occasions.

Who else is in Inter Miami and Al Ahly’s group?
Brazilian club Palmeiras and Portuguese giants Porto complete Group A.
Here is the full list of the eight groups:
Group A: Palmeiras, Porto, Al Ahly, Inter Miami
Group B: Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, Seattle Sounders
Group C: Bayern Munich, Auckland City, Boca Juniors, Benfica
Group D: Flamengo, ES Tunis, Chelsea, LAFC
Group E: River Plate, Urawa Red Diamonds, Monterrey, Inter Milan
Group F: Fluminense, Borussia Dortmund, Ulsan HD FC, Mamelodi Sundowns
Group G: Manchester City, Wydad, Al Ain, Juventus
Group H: Real Madrid, Al Hilal, Pachuca, FC Salzburg
Head-to-head
This is a first meeting between the sides as the Concacaf representatives come face-to-face with the CAF (Confederation of African Football) square up.
Inter Miami team news
Coach Javier Mascherano has been forced to re-shuffle his backline due to a string of injuries.
Fullback Jordi Alba, fellow defender Gonzalo Lujan and defensive midfielder Yannick Bright have all been ruled out of the Group A clash.
“Hopefully they will be available for the second game,” Mascherano told a news conference on Friday.
Alba, one of Messi’s former Barcelona teammates, is sidelined with a hamstring issue. There were also concerns regarding the fitness of centre-back David Martinez.
“David had some kind of pain yesterday, and we did not want to take any risks,” said Mascherano.
“The reality is that throughout the season, the team have dealt with injuries, but the players who stepped in rose to the challenge. That gives us peace of mind,” he said.
Al Ahly team news
The Egyptian side have been in the US for two weeks and have already played a warm-up match against fellow Club World Cup participants Pachuca. The Mexican club won 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw on Sunday.
Riveiro has a fully fit squad to choose from, which is spearheaded by former Aston Villa forward Mahmoud Trezeguet.
How much does the Club World Cup winner receive?
The total prize pot is $1bn, with the champions earning up to $125m.
Cut: +8 Aberg (Swe);+9Fleetwood (Eng); +10 Thomas (US); +14 Rose (Eng); +17 Lowry (Ire)
America’s Sam Burns hit a sensational five-under 65 to seize the lead on three under on an attritional second day at the US Open.
Only three players out of a field of 156 are under par at the halfway stage with Burns making six birdies and just one bogey in a morning round that looked better as the day progressed.
Overnight leader JJ Spaun, who was the only player to go bogey-free in round one, hit a two-over 72 and is second on two under, while Norway’s Viktor Hovland is one under after a 68.
The world’s top two players Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy were among those battling to make the weekend and both did enough to make the cut, which came at seven over and will see the top 60 and ties play the final two rounds.
US PGA Championship winner Scheffler scrapped to a 71, mixing four birdies with five bogeys to finish on four over par, seven shots off the lead.
“With the way I was hitting it, it was easily a day I could have been going home and I battled pretty hard to stay in there,” he said.
“Around this golf course, I don’t think by any means I’m out of the tournament.”
As for McIlroy, he recovered from a nightmare start where he double-bogeyed two of his first three holes to shoot a 72, birdieing the last to finish at six over par.
Tyrrell Hatton is the best-placed Englishman on three over after a 70. Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre and England’s Aaron Rai are a shot further back, while American world number three Xander Schauffele, who has never finished outside the top 15 in his eight appearances, is six over.
More problems for world’s top two on difficult Friday

Three wins in his past four starts had seen Scheffler installed as clear favourite to add the US Open to his growing collection of major titles.
But this tournament cares little for reputation – and the world’s top ranked player has not won it since Tiger Woods in 2008.
Scheffler, who started at three over, holed a 20-foot birdie putt at his first (the 10th). But his day started to unravel with three bogeys in five holes.
He found a bounce-back birdie at the second (his 11th) but smashed his club on the ground in frustration after driving his ball into the huge ‘Church Pews’ bunker down the left of the third fairway.
So often admired for his relaxed composure, it was a further sign all was not right with the Olympic champion’s game.
However he did find birdies at the fourth and sixth in order to shoot one over par for his round, a score beaten by only 12 other players, before heading to the range for two hours to practice.
As for McIlroy, after plummeting to eight over par after just three holes, he flirted with the cut line for the rest of his round, draining a 32-foot birdie putt on Oakmont’s hardest hole, the ninth, to stay afloat.
Another birdie from 20 feet at the 15th inched him to seven over par but frustration was never far away.

Burns and Hovland make bid for first major title

While the field toiled on a day for golfing purists, Burns proved Oakmont could be tamed by making a mockery of its grisly challenge.
Sensational from tee to green, he actually missed decent opportunities down the stretch to add to his 11 birdies over the first two rounds before holing a 22-foot putt to save par at the final hole.
If he continues with his usually reliable putting stroke – he is first on the PGA Tour this season for strokes gained on the greens – he will be well placed to fight for his maiden major title.
Another in that bracket is Hovland who, playing alongside Scheffler, lit up the front nine with some excellent iron play.
Ranked first for strokes gained around the green in round two, the 2023 Tour Championship winner reached three under with a majestic 55-foot chipped eagle from the rough on the 17th (his eighth).
A slightly erratic back nine that featured two birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey saw him post a 68.
Australia’s Adam Scott, winner of the Master in 2013 and playing in his 96th consecutive major, is the only player to shoot level par or better in both rounds with a pair of 70s.
The glacial pace of play and arrival of a late storm meant 13 players had to return on Saturday to finish their rounds.
Among them was South Africa’s Thriston Lawrence, who raced two shots clear on six under after three successive birdies early in his round.
But he followed that with a run of six bogeys and a double bogey across nine holes as he dropped back to one over.
‘One of stupidest things I’ve done’ – Oakmont rattles leading lights

Two-time US Open champion Brooks Koepka has shown glimpses of his impressive major-winning credentials but was scrappy in a round of 74 to drop to two over par.
Two shots further behind, the 2021 champion Jon Rahm saw his challenge falter, having impressed on day one.
Starting the round three off the lead, he followed three bogeys on his first nine with a penal double bogey at the 12th to drop to four over par, with his sole birdie arriving at the fourth.
To compound his frustration, he saw a series of birdie chances slide by during his closing holes before a bogey at the last left him seven shots off the lead.
“I’m too mad to put it into perspective,” he said afterwards.
At least Rahm made the cut.
DeChambeau was a shadow of the player who stormed to victory at Pinehurst last June as his title defence faded with a whimper.
Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg and England’s Tommy Fleetwood are also heading home, finishing at eight over and nine over respectively.
And Ireland’s Shane Lowry closed on 17 over par, after a round which featured a penalty shot for picking up his ball without marking it on the 14th green.
“Maybe my mind was somewhere else,” laughed Lowry when recounting the bizarre incident to BBC Sport. “It’s one of the stupidest things I’ve done.”
Six-time runner-up Phil Mickelson, who suggested this may be his last US Open, missed a birdie putt on the last to to end up on the wrong side of the cut line.
Meanwhile, France’s Victor Perez had a hole-in-one at the par-three sixth and a triple-bogey eight in a level-par 70 that kept him at one over and inside the top 10.
A United States federal judge has allowed the administration of President Donald Trump to keep student protester Mahmoud Khalil in custody based on allegations of immigration fraud.
On Friday, Judge Michael Farbiarz of Newark, New Jersey, ruled that Khalil’s legal team had not adequately shown why his detention on the charge would be unlawful.
It was a major setback for Khalil, who had been a negotiator for the student protesters at Columbia University demonstrating against Israel’s war on Gaza. He was the first high-profile protester to be arrested under Trump’s campaign to expel foreign students who participated in pro-Palestinian advocacy.
Just this week, Farbiarz appeared poised to order Khalil’s release, on the basis that his detention under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 was unconstitutional.
That law stipulates that the secretary of state – in this case, Marco Rubio – has the power to remove foreign nationals who have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States”. But Farbiarz ruled that Rubio’s use of the law violated Khalil’s freedom of speech.
Still, the Trump administration filed additional court papers saying it had another reason for wanting to deport Khalil.
It alleged that Khalil, a permanent US resident, had omitted information from his green-card application that would have otherwise disqualified him from gaining residency.
The Trump administration has long accused Khalil of supporting terrorism through his protest-related activities, something the former graduate student has vehemently denied.
In the case of his green-card application, it argues that Khalil failed to disclose his work with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), a humanitarian organisation. Politicians in Israel and the US have accused UNRWA of ties to the armed group Hamas, an allegation reportedly made without evidence.
Khalil, however, has denied he was ever an “officer” in UNRWA, as alleged. Instead, his legal team points out that he completed a United Nations internship through Columbia University.
The Trump administration also argues that Khalil did not accurately identify the length of his employment with the Syria Office of the British Embassy in Beirut. Khalil and his legal team, meanwhile, say he accurately identified his departure date from the job as December 2022.
Judge Farbiarz had set Friday morning as a deadline for the Trump administration to appeal Khalil’s release on bail. But that deadline was extended to give the government more time to challenge Khalil’s release.
Ultimately, Farbiarz allowed the Trump administration to continue its detention of Khalil. He advised Khalil’s lawyers to seek release on bail from the immigration court where his deportation trial is being held in Louisiana.
Farbiarz had been weighing a separate habeas corpus petition from the Khalil team that called into question the constitutionality of his continued detention.
Marc Van Der Hout, a lawyer for Khalil, told the Reuters news agency that immigration fraud charges are exceedingly rare, and the Trump administration’s use of such charges was simply a political manoeuvre to keep Khalil in lock-up.
“Detaining someone on a charge like this is highly unusual and frankly outrageous,” said Van Der Hout. “There continues to be no constitutional basis for his detention.”
Another lawyer representing Khalil, Amy Greer, described the new allegations against his green-card application as part of the government’s “cruel, transparent delay tactics”. She noted that Khalil, a new father whose child was born in April, would miss his first Father’s Day, which falls this Sunday in the US.
“Instead of celebrating together, he is languishing in ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] detention as punishment for his advocacy on behalf of his fellow Palestinians,” Greer said in a statement.
