Sam Thompson fell over and was “escorted out of a nightclub” by a bouncer after drinking too much following a break-up. The former Made in Chelsea star says he had gone to the club with a girl in a bid to “make his ex jealous” at the time.

Sam, 32, claims he overdrinked too much and was ushered outside. However, his night turned into a dramatic one when he stumbled out of the woods and fell to the floor.

On his Staying Relevant podcast with best pal Pete Wicks, Sam explained he then discovered his date for the night was “hooking up” with someone else at the bar. To make matters worse for Sam, he says his former flame “stepped over him” on her way out of the bar.

Pete witnessed a woman falling over during rush hour, and Sam made the revelation. After the woman tripped when her heel became stuck, Peter explained that people were “literally stepping over” her belongings.

“I’ve actually been stepped over before,” Sam said. An ex-girlfriend stepped over me, and it was even worse.

I recently broke up with an ex-girlfriend and I was in a nightclub, where I get p****d very easily, and the bouncer led me out of the club. The woman I had brought on a date to make her jealous in the nightclub ended up dating someone else.

“To drown out my sorrows, I really p****d, then I was escorted out of the nightclub, and they were telling me to leave because I’m too p****d.” She walked out with another man and crossed my foot in the small gutter right next to the entrance.

Sam continued to claim that his embarrassing incident occurred “years, years, years ago.” Steph Robinson, a former reality TV star, is reportedly dating the former reality TV star.

Earlier this year he had been linked to former Love Island star Samie Elishi, but the pair are said to have split a couple of weeks ago. According to the MailOnline, Sam has grown close to Steph, who boasts 170,000 followers on TikTok.

After splitting from Samie, Sam is said to have said he is “not ready” to resume dating. He stated in a previous podcast interview that he would work on himself. I’m not ready to date, and I’ve come to the conclusion.

He said his sister Louise hopes he would date someone like Harry Potter star Emma Watson. He added: “Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter.”

Pete made the joke that “I believe you have a better chance with the ginger fella.” Then Ron! No, Louise believes I should choose a British thespian because she believes it is “a little different, classy, but well done.”

Specsavers ‘reignites Oasis feud’ leaving Britpop fans in stitches

Oasis are currently touring in order to kick off their Live ’25 tour, but a cheeky Specsavers advertisement outside Wembley Stadium has brought back the Britpop band’s feud with Blur.

Oasis fans are thrilled as they continue their Live ’25 tour thanks to a cheeky billboard advertisement near Wembley Stadium. A nostalgic Britpop rivalry has been reportedly resurrected by the advertisement, which is only a short walk away from Liam and Noel Gallagher’s London show.

Britpop, which combines various British bands from the 1990s, reached its height when Oasis and another recognizable band squared off in a notorious chart battle. Oasis appear to have had the last laugh despite initially dominating that band’s initial success with their most sold-out shows creating quite the sensation. On TikTok, a playful advertisement pokes fun at the conflict between the two organizations.

Not Specsavers are putting up the “OG Blur rivals” ad next to the Oasis gig tonight, according to the video’s caption. On a screen directly opposite the Oasis’ London shows, the Specsavers advertisement appears.

Specsavers themselves have cheekily acknowledged their “original Blur rivals” status with the line “We saw an opportunity and we took it” in a TikTok post.

Fans have been chuckling about the clever placement as they leave the concert.

On the way to the train, one fan said, “We were giggling about this.” Another accolade is “A+ marketing.” “That’s genius,” a third person said.

However, the person who posted the original TikTok seemed less impressed, writing: “UK people are so weird.”

The legendary chart battle between Blur and Oasis continues to be remembered, with the Gallagher brothers trailing and the Damon Albarn-led Blur taking the top spot in 1995 with their hit “Country House.”

Later, Blur’s bassist, Alex James, said, “Blur won the battle, Oasis won the war, and Blur went on to win the entire campaign.

Blur made two electrifying appearances at Wembley in 2023 to celebrate their new album, “The Ballad of Darren,” which was performed alongside them by fellow Britpop stars Oasis, who also performed at the iconic venue.

At an Oasis gig at Wembley Stadium, fellow Pulp icon Jarvis Cocker was present, and Blur’s own Damon Albarn graciously acknowledged Oasis’ supremacy in the bands’ historic confrontation.

Albarn said, “I think we can officially say that Oasis won the battle, the war, the campaign, and everything.” The winners are them. They place them first. I’m happy to accept and accept defeat in the face of such overwhelming evidence.

In an NME interview, Cocker openly criticizes the term “Britpop,” having previously joked about getting on the guest list for Oasis concerts.

He continued, “It seemed like there might be a revolution.” That would be great if people were to feel that way once more when they could create their own products and have their own attention.”

After drawing 1-1 in Basel, Switzerland, Sarina Wiegman’s team won on penalties to keep their title.

In the Euro 2022 final against Germany at Wembley, Chloe Kelly scored the winner after the break, and England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton saved two penalties for Spain.

The touching moment Lucy Bronze consoles rumoured girlfriend and rival Ona Batlle

England won the Euro Cup on Sunday night thanks to the generosity of the legendary defender Lucy Bronze, who made sure to comfort Spanish footballer Ona Batlle during an emotional moment.

The Lioness squad won the Euro Cup for the second time in a row on Sunday night, and the Lioness squad won. However, their victory dealt Spain a crushing blow, as Lucy Bronze, England’s Lucy, comforted Ona Batlle amid rumors of their romance, brought to light.

In a thrilling penalty shootout against Spain, following an exhausting 120-minute final, the Lionesses emerged victorious. Mariona Caldentey initially put Spain ahead with a header in the 25th minute, but England’s Alessia Russo equalised with a headed goal from Chloe Kelly’s cross after half-time.

After Sama Paralluelo’s miss, Lioness goalkeeper Hannah Hampton made a number of impressive saves during the tense shootout before Kelly took the win. As the England squad soaked up their victory, “Sweet Caroline” blared through the speakers in a celebration across the Swiss stadium.

However, defender Lucy Bronze was seen comforting Spanish footballer Ona Batlle after leaving celebrations with her team. In a heartfelt moment, Bronze offered some emotional support to Batlle, who was struggling with their defeat against England.

Later, the team’s bronze medalist, who had changed into her tracksuit, took a walk around the stadium in yet another heartfelt nod of support, while bronze was draped around her neck and sporting a medal-carrying medal around her neck. When Spain defeated England in the women’s World Cup final in 2023, the roles were completely reversed a few years ago.

After Spain won, Batlle was spotted holding onto Bronze, who was groping on the sidelines, after two years. The Spanish player was sitting down wearing the iconic Lioness pink and blue coat from that year while her arms circled the teary Bronze.

Bronze and Batlle, who were previously teammates at Barcelona, appear to have struck up a close relationship over the years and have hinted at a possible romance. While neither of the pair has gone official, they have shared a series of cosy snaps together on social media.

Just weeks before the Euros kicked off in Switzerland, Bronze and Batlle enjoyed a sun-soaked getaway together. In a series of photos shared on Instagram, Lucy wrote the caption: “Few days of sun,” while Ona commented with a heart-eyed emoji.

The pair posed for a mirror selfie during a trip that was particularly close to the subject. In December of last year, they even took a trip to Disneyland Paris together, where they also took a photo together.

Bronze and Batlle are thought to have sparked up a close bond when they both played for Barcelona during the 2023-24 season. During this time, they won the Champions League, Liga F, the Spanish Cup, and the Spanish Super Cup together.

Bronze moved back to Chelsea last summer as a right-back, while Batlle remains as a full-back for Barcelona.

Sensationally, Bronze revealed that she had a broken tibia when she competed in the 2025 Euro final. After the final match, she revealed that no one knew that she had actually played the entire tournament with a fractious tibia. Then, today, I accidentally injured my knee on one leg.

She continued, “That’s what I’ll do.” They are aware of this, and I believe that playing through those dynamics helped us ultimately achieve our goals. That’s it, I’m going to party and enjoy it even though it was very painful.

Olivia Rodrigo’s rollercoaster love life – high-profile love triangle to Paddington star

From her alleged alleged high-profile romance to her current partner Louis Partridge, all of whom have inspired her hit songs have been rumored to include a number of high-profile affairs.

As one of pop’s leading voices on the agony of young love, it’s fair to say Olivia Rodrigo has had her share of personal pain. “Her first album Sour was very much written in the pit of despair, and most of the songs seemed to be about losing the same boy,” says BBC music correspondent Mark Savage. “She was definitely in that place where you’re stuck in a cycle and can’t think about anyone or anything else.”

With 22-year-old Olivia – who is now in a relationship with Louis Partridge – admitting that Sour was inspired by “earth-shattering” heartbreak, she told how Drivers License was based on her own journal entries. “I realised part of the reason I wanted to get my licence so bad was because of… this boy,” she said, sharing an excerpt from her diary.

“I always felt bad about being too young to drive over to see him.” It was widely assumed the boy in question was her ex, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Joshua Bassett, who was rumoured to have moved on with Sabrina Carpenter after he and Olivia broke up in July 2020.

She never confirmed any of those claims, but Mark points out that it doesn’t matter what the song’s subject matter is. “With Olivia, it’s absolutely important whether you feel what she’s feeling,” she says.

She and Joshua first met in early 2019, playing on-screen love interests Nini and Ricky, when they were 16 and 18 respectively. Regular Instagram selfies sparked speculation they had grown close off-camera, and at one point Olivia said, “I love him so much. He’s my best friend… It was like I wasn’t acting.” But by the following summer, it was claimed they had split, with Olivia posting a TikTok video in which she ate a muffin with her song All I Want playing in the background. “All I want is a good guy / Are my expectations far too high?” she sang, while captioning the clip, “And that’s on failed relationships.”

Despite the mystery, it is said that her previous relationship with her Bizaardvark co-star Ethan Wacker ended peacefully. Although it was unknown when they first began dating in 2018, and Ethan, now 23, posted a message on Instagram in January 2019 saying, “Happy 6 months! The best is in you. Olivia also mentioned in a photo that the pair enjoyed a trip to Hawaii that said, “Heaven is a place on earth wit u.”

Although it’s believed they parted in the summer of 2017, they remained friends and Olivia commented, “He’s the best,” while Olivia later said, “He’s the best”! when Ethan made the announcement that he would not attend college in 2020.

Olivia reportedly had a relationship with music producer Adam Faze the following year. Again, it was never confirmed, but the two were photographed kissing at separate shows. However, it was believed to have ended when Olivia deleted Adam’s Instagram follow.

She soon became friends with DJ Zack Bia, who also attended her 19th birthday celebrations in February. However, according to reports, the romance had already slowed down by August, presumably as a result of conflicting schedules. We ended up not furthering our relationship because we hung out, because we’re both busy. You’re aware that there never was drama.

Due to the rumors that the lyrics to Olivia’s fiery comeback single Vampire, Vampire, were about Adam, who was 28 at the time, or Zack, who was 29 at the time, caused friction over a woman who was older than her. She apologised, “Went for me and not for her,” and she defended her position. “Grow girls your age know better.

Unsurprisingly, there was no official response, and Mark asserts that “we’ll never know who Vampire was about, and that’s probably for the best. Trying to guess is almost half the fun in the modern era of internet sleuthing. Olivia’s argument that keeping quiet about the subject of her songs helps them develop their mystique

Olivia did point out that a number of bad relationships had had an impact on her second album, Guts, by saying, “Maybe I dated people I shouldn’t have, maybe I shouldn’t have.” Additionally, she stated to fans in LA that she had met “so many people that I’ve dated on Instagram DM.”

Some of them are “somewhat dubious.” She also mentioned a serious red flag in another conversation about potential love interests. I ask them if they would like to travel to space, but I never date them if they do, she said. I simply believe that you’re a little too stuffed with yourself to travel to space.

Olivia has been dating British actor Louis Partridge for more than 18 months, which is thankfully far better than her romantic status. They first met in October of that year in London after they had a number of nights out together.

Louis, 22, who starred in the Enola Holmes films and Apple TV+ series Disclaimer , then showed up to support Olivia at iHeart Radio’s Jingle Ball in New York that December, singing along with her best pals, Conan Gray and Madison Hu. In August 2024, they made their debut at Venice Film Festival, with Louis tenderly kissing Olivia on the head in one picture. They also enjoyed a lowkey outing to watch Manchester United play Chelsea in November, and surprised locals when they took a trip to north Wales the same month.

Olivia did a post on Louis’ Insta last year that read, “Welcome to the 21 club angel boy!!!” despite her best efforts to avoid discussing him in public. The pair have also been spotted in particular love in recent months, dancing in the Caribbean with friends Tate McRae, the Kid LAROI, Iris Apatow, and Sam Nivola, the White Lotus actor, for a couples’ vacation in the Caribbean.

Louis frequently supported Olivia during her Guts World Tour and during her headline performance at Glastonbury, where she was also spotted watching Pulp play while on his shoulders. Many people commented on her change to the lyrics to “Think I’m in love” to “Cause I’m in love” during her Dublin show last April. It even suggested that the song, which was featured on the exclusive remaster of Guts, was intended as a message to the pair’s upcoming plans: “Oh God, I’m gonna marry him/If he keeps this sh*t up,” she sang.

Olivia once described her intentions for the wedding in the following years after admitting to being “a hopeless romantic.” She said, “I just want to be, like, 30, having brunch with my girls on the weekends, and having two babies and a husband in a chic mid-century modern house.” Before she reaches that stage, there might be a little more drama, though. Olivia told me, “I still have a few heartbreaks left in me,” she said when we spoke with her last time. She may not yet be ready to settle down.

Molly-Mae’s sell-out £340 Saint Laurent sunglasses have a £27 high street alternative

With her chic Saint Laurent pair, Molly-Mae has just inspired us to buy some sunglasses, and we’ve located a location to purchase a £27 alternative.

With sunnier weather reportedly on the way, and payday having just arrived, a new pair of sunglasses might be at the top of your wishlist. And if Molly-Mae’s aviator sunglasses from her most recent Instagram post caught your attention, you’re in luck, as we’ve found a £27 alternative to the £340 pair.

The Saint Laurent pair, which Molly purchased, costs almost £350. Unfortunately, they are currently out of stock all over the world, a further illustration of the “Molly-Mae effect.” We’ve found a pair of lookalike shoes that are still in stock for less than £30, though.

The Oversized Square Retro Style Sunglasses from & Other Stories are the pair in question. This similar-looking pair, priced at $ 27, is more than $ 300 less expensive than Molly’s. The difference is obviously the lens, but the retro aviator style is similar despite the pair from &amp and Other Stories being more of a burgundy shade.

These statement sunnies instantly change up any outfit thanks to their 80s inspiration. The brow bar adds a structured, throwback appearance that nods to vintage fashion, while the oversized frame gives it that cool-girl vibe.

The slim arms, which balance out the bolder frame and keep the shape looking sharp and sleek, balance out the oversized silhouette. These add an element of interest to your look, whether you’re taking a city break, taking a poolside vacation, or having brunch with friends.

In our opinion, designer sunglasses are typically well worth the price. However, it’s wise to choose more affordable options if you want to purchase more trendy items like these aviator, light-lens ones in case you decide they won’t work for you in a few years or even months.

I’ve previously purchased sunglasses from &amp, Other Stories, and can say that they are well worth the price. They outlast any other high-end pair I’ve tried, which they do.

Vehla, a similarly priced pair of sunglasses, is another favorite of Molly-Mae’s. Although priced at £170, Dixie Sunglasses are a popular brand among famous people because of their craftsmanship, fit, and distinctive designs.
