Pete Wicks cheekily mentioned Louis Tomlinson during their live podcast while Sam Thompson’s ex Zara McDermott is currently dating former One Direction member.

Sam Thompson was left cringing after his bestfriend and podcast co-host Pete Wicks took a cheeky swipe at his love life during a live episode of Staying Relevant.

The 33-year-old former Made In Chelsea star, who split from Zara McDermott last December, was visibly unimpressed when Pete orchestrated an onstage prank involving Zara’s new boyfriend, One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.

Pete requested the stage band to perform One Direction’s Steal My Girl during the podcast’s live recording on Friday at London’s O2 Arena. Sam rushed onstage to try to cut the performance short as the tune began to play.

Pete joked, “S**t, I forgot,” before coming clean and saying, “I may have f***ed up there.” I had no doubts that would take me somewhere else. Sam buried his head in his hands in response to his remark, which caused the audience to roar in disbelief.

Pete returned to the band and said, “But don’t worry, it’s okay, we can try again, we can try again.” Guys, f*****g hit it”. Sam was seen pretending to be scared as the music started to play again and was seen kneeling on stage.

Sam acknowledged that the past year had been one of the hardest of his life elsewhere in the program. He attributed Pete’s recovery from Zara’s split to him.

He said, “Peter is the epitome of tough exterior, gooey center, like an onion with many, many, many, many, many, many f*****g layers of pin, and there are a select few people you can really on those moments. He is the most compassionate, devoted, kind, and angry friend I could ever ask for.

Fans who had anticipated their wedding bells would soon hear about Sam and Zara’s breakup in December were shocked. After Zara slid into Sam’s DMs, the couple began dating in 2019.

They had already weathered public ups and downs, including a brief split in 2020 after Zara admitted to being unfaithful while competing on The X Factor: Celebrity.

Sam forgave her at the time, and they eventually reconciled and spent three more years together. Their five-year relationship ended in December 2024, though.

Friends close to Zara later said she had “put everything” into making the romance work but felt she had no choice but to move on.

Insiders claimed Sam was left blindsided, telling The Sun he was “devastated” by how quickly Zara appeared to get into a new relationship with Louis.

Zara and the former One Direction member have a quick-growing romantic relationship, and Zara is said to spend most of her time at the singer’s multi-million-pound mansion in North London.

A source told The Sun: “They’re smitten and she has been spending all of her time at his place, she’s pretty much moved in.”

The couple went Instagram official over the summer when Zara posted a kissing snap, which Louis replied to saying: “I love you.” Their siblings have publicly shown their support for the relationship, with Zara’s brother calling them a “beautiful couple” and Louis’ sister commenting “love love”.

Sam has admitted the breakup has been tough, but he is now focusing on work, friends and family. A source close to him told The Mirror: “He has been going out and having fun again, he’s not dating anyone but he’s been on dates. He’s been around the Chelsea lot and hanging out with Pete [Wicks] a lot. He’s really enjoying himself at the moment but doesn’t want to be tied down.”

Cyberattack hits check-in systems at some of Europe’s busiest airports

Some of Europe’s busiest airports have experienced delays and disruptions due to a cyberattack that targets check-in and boarding systems.

Some airport operations, including those at London’s Heathrow, were suspended on Saturday after a service provider’s software was hacked during the attack.

According to Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding systems for several airlines across multiple airports around the world, Heathrow Airport, the country’s largest and busiest international airport, “is experiencing a technical issue that may cause delays for departing passengers.”

While the provider works quickly to resolve the issue, it advised travelers to check their airline’s status before departing.

A major aerospace and defense company with headquarters in the United States, Collins Aerospace is a subsidiary of RTX Corporation, a division of Raytheon Technologies. RTX did not name any airports where it was aware of a “cyber-related disruption” to its software.

The company stated in a statement that it was working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible that “the impact is limited to electronic customer check-in and baggage drop.”

The attack also affected automated systems in Berlin and Brussels, which allowed only manual check-in and boarding procedures.

According to Brussels airport, “This has a large impact on the flight schedule and will unfavorably cause delays and cancellations of flights,” adding that the cyberattack took place on Friday night.

There are longer waiting times at check-in due to a technical issue at a system provider, according to the statement. In a banner on the airport’s website, Berlin Airport stated that it was “working on a quick solution.”

According to a spokesperson, Frankfurt Airport, one of Germany’s largest, was unaffected. It was also reported to be unaffected by an official from the Zurich airport’s operations control center.

No delays were reported at the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, as well as the nearby Orly and Le Bourget airports.

Pakistani court indicts man over killing of teenage TikTok influencer

A man accused of murdering a 17-year-old social media influencer at her home in Pakistan after she repeatedly rejected his advances has been formally indicted.

Sana Yousaf’s murder in June this year drew nationwide condemnation and reignited debate over women’s safety, after some online comments – alongside condolences – blamed her for her own death.

The 22-year-old accused, Umar Hayat, also a TikTok influencer, pleaded not guilty in a court in the capital Islamabad on Saturday as the trial formally began.

“All the allegations made against me are baseless and false,” Hayat, who is from Faisalabad city in Punjab province, told Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka.

The court adjourned the hearing until September 25, when it will hear from witnesses and formally frame the charges, reported Pakistan’s The Express Tribune newspaper.

Yousaf had more than a million followers on social media accounts, including TikTok, where she shared videos of her favourite cafes, skincare products and traditional outfits.

TikTok is wildly popular in Pakistan, in part because of its accessibility to a population with low literacy levels. Women have found both an audience and income on the app, which is rare in a country where fewer than a quarter of women participate in the formal economy.

According to police, Yousaf was shot at close range inside her home. Hayat reportedly entered her house, opened fire, and then fled the scene.

Police described the killing as a “gruesome and cold-blooded murder”, alleging Hayat killed Yousaf after she repeatedly rejected his proposals.

Charges against the accused include murder and taking away the victim’s mobile phone in an attempt to wipe out the evidence of being repeatedly rejected by her, Pakistan’s English-language newspaper Dawn reported Islamabad Inspector General Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi as saying.

Some comments in social media posts sharing the news of Yousaf’s murder suggested it was justified in a society where honour codes dictate how women should behave. “You reap what you sow,” said one user.

Violence against women is pervasive in Pakistan, according to the country’s Human Rights Commission, and cases of women being attacked after rejecting marriage proposals are not uncommon.

Yungblud cancels US show but fans can’t get over singer’s ‘rare’ gesture

Yungblud, who goes by the real name Dominic Harrison, is currently touring with the band’s “Idols” in the US, but he recently had to cancel a performance due to a doctor’s order.

Fans have praised singer Yungblud for his “classy” and “rare” gesture of goodwill despite the fact that he had to cancel a performance on his recently-extended US leg of his highly anticipated world tour. The 28-year-old rocker has been making waves all over the world with his upbeat, charismatic, and relatable fan base.

Ozzy Osbourne, a rock legend, advised the UK native to “conquer America” when they spoke backstage at the Black Sabbath frontman’s farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, on July 5 in Birmingham.

Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, has traveled to US cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, and more. He had to cancel his September 18 performance at The Fillmore in Philadelphia after getting sick and being told to rest.

The musician posted a video to keep everyone informed on social media as he shared the news with fans. In a move that surprised many, he put some money in the backseat of a bar to pay off fans.

Yungblud wrote, “Philly, I’m gutted to have this, but I need to reschedule the show tonight,” in the caption that came with his video post.

Since New York, I have been trying to get better for two days, but doctors have told me that I have a virus that requires me to rest and take it seriously.

The Met Philadelphia will be rescheduling and moving the show on a later date.

He advised ticketholders to check their emails for more details.

I’ve put some money behind the bar to honor the release of My Only Angel tonight and to apologise. Go to Johnny Brenda’s and say “My Only Angel” to the bar staffs to get a beer on me if you have a ticket and still want to hang out. I adore each of you.

Then Johnny Brenda’s Philadelphia bar’s address was added.

Many fans advised him to rest and concentrate on recovering, but others were blown away by his desire to give them a drink to apologize.

One person remarked, “Dinner on Yungbuld!!! The fact that you’ve put money behind the bar” (translation for non-Brits: drinks). Do you even recognize how unique that is? ?

How many famous people have canceled plans and said, “Sorry, we’re not here, we’ll fix it later on a stupid date.” Respect Dom and get well, babe.

Another questioned, “Wait, is he buying us drinks?” Another responded, “He is! ” to which another responded. What a fashionable man!”

You are a kind, generous soul, a fan once said. Sometimes your body forces you to slow down, even when your mind wants to stop. Your body should be heard. It’s really your only choice because you can live there.

One user said, “Not many artists would leave a bar tab for fans to go get a drink.” Good day, dude.
