Bradley Dack, her husband, gave her a glowing review of Olivia Attwood as “my beautiful wife” as he observed her most recent birthday, but he also issued a warning that worried her.

Football hunk Bradley Dack has paid a gushing tribute to wife Olivia Attwood to mark her birthday. The Gillingham FC midfielder, 31, has been married to former Love Island contestant Olivia since 2023.

The TV babe turned 34 on Friday, and she’s getting ready to make her happy comeback on Saturday night. Bradley gushed praise to his wife on Instagram as they prepared to celebrate together on the day of her birth.

He chose a close-up of them kissing on their wedding day as the album’s hero image from a collection of photos taken over the years. The couple was photographed in bars, at home, and of course, on a beach in Dubai, with beaming smiles appearing frequently in their photos.

The footballer wrote: “From where it started to where it is now, and everything in between. My lovely wife had a wonderful birthday.

You’ve been there through it all and always had my back, so I’m always grateful to have you on my team because I couldn’t ask for someone else to do life with. “I’m so proud of the person you have become and continue to be. I hope you have a wonderful day, and tomorrow we can truly celebrate.

And he authorized further, “P.S. there may be some embarrassing videos coming up on this app today. Love You emojis, along with crying-with-laughter.

Olivia joked back that she might file legal action against him if he shared anything too damning and that she took the threat of embarrassing videos seriously.

She responded with “My legal team is on standby, don’t make me call them” in an amusing manner, and she also added “Emotional faced emojis and a black heart emoji.”

Olivia shot to fame in 2017 when she was a contestant on Love Island in which she partnered with recent Celebrity Big Brother contestant Chris Hughes as they embarked on an ultimately doomed romance. While the pair grew close in the villa, the romance soured once the cameras turned off and they returned to their lives in the UK.

The couple endured a bitter break-up – and Olivia rushed back into the arms of her now husband, who she reportedly dated before she entered the Love Island villa during season three of the now long-running ITV reality dating show. Olivia has enjoyed further fame on camera as a cast member of the reality show The Only Way Is Essex, and she also hosts a range of investigative documentaries for ITV.

Liv and Brad swapped vows on 3 June 2023 in an intimate ceremony at a five-star hotel in Knightsbridge. The couple said said “I Do” in front of 80 guests, including family friends, and Love Island stars including Amber Davies and Georgia Harrison.

Since 2020, the couple has welcomed cameras into their own lives in the reality series Olivia Meets Her Match, which demonstrates how the couple is progressing in their relationship.

Prior to their wedding, the couple had gushed about how excited they were to continue their reality television series. Olivia stated in a trailer from 2023, “This is the moment we have been anticipating.” It will be a fairytale-like story. Husband and wife.

Then Bradley said, “I’m about to wed the one who will forever be my spouse.” I won’t cry because I don’t want my make-up to go wrong. Since the most recent batch of episodes that were broadcast in 2023, the series has not yet made a return to ITV.

Leeds victory puts pressure on Saints boss Wellens

Betfred Super League

St Helens (0) 4

Try: Whitley

Leeds (10) 17

Leeds Rhinos sealed a Magic Weekend win over St Helens which cranked up the pressure on Saints coach Paul Wellens.

The Rhinos forged ahead in a bright opening with tries from Riley Lumb and Lachlan Miller but the game degenerated into a messy affair with both sides making unforced errors.

Matt Whitley struck back for Saints early in the second half but Lewis Murphy’s sin-binning, a Jack Sinfield drop-goal and Morgan Gannon’s late try ensured Leeds took the win which sends them fourth in Super League.

Leeds leapfrog their opponents with a third win in four games, a run only spoiled by their defeat by leaders Hull KR last week.

They got that loss out of their system in the opening phase as Gannon’s smart kick popped up nicely for Lumb to pounce and score after Gannon and Ash Handley had opened up the defence.

Ten minutes later more enterprising attacking play from the Rhinos saw Harry Newman send Alfie Edgell racing down the right, and he passed the ball inside to send Miller over and establish a 10-point lead at half time.

Lumb pulled off a try-saving tackle on Jon Bennison but Saints rarely troubled the Leeds line in the first half.

Wellens sent on experienced pair Daryl Clark and Jonny Lomax, the latter controversially dropped a fortnight ago, and for a short while they started to piece their game together and shortly into the second half they cracked the Leeds defence as Whitley went over.

That sparked an attacking spell for Saints, with Leeds errors inviting pressure and Saints squandering it with scrappy disorganised rugby.

Tristan Sailor’s interception and sprint downfield set Saints up perfectly but an incorrect play-the-ball cost them possession in a threatening position, a moment that summed up their game.

Murphy’s sin-binning took the wind out of their sails and came as he leaped high to gather a kick and caught Edgell in the face with his knee, as the Leeds man kept his feet firmly planted on the ground.

Murphy was disconsolate and Wellens infuriated, and Leeds took advantage by going up the other end, with Sinfield coolly drop-kicking the ball between the posts.

Murphy yellow ‘ridiculous’ – reaction

St Helens boss Paul Wellens:

“The start of the game really did hurt us. We were winning exchanges in terms of the defensive side of things but both edges got done and we made it very difficult for ourselves from that point on.

“We dug in, rallied, went down to 12 men and dug deep through that period as well. There were certain bits of the performance that were okay in that respect but I feel like in some ways I keep repeating myself.”

On Lewis Murphy’s yellow card:

“I thought it was ridiculous. Lewis Murphy goes up and contests the ball. He’s got eyes for one thing and one thing only and that’s the ball.

“We had Jake Wingfield in a Challenge Cup game at Warrington knocked out cold and we were told then it was just an accidental rugby injury.

“So what’s the difference between that then and this here tonight? It’s quite flabbergasting to be honest because that was a big momentum shift in the game.

Leeds Rhinos head coach Brad Arthur:

“I thought the boys were brave and tough. It’s been a long six weeks for us. We’ve had some big games and every game we’ve had to fight really hard.

“We’ve probably got what we deserve I think and put ourselves in a position. Those past six games to win every one of those games, we’ve made it hard even for ourselves tonight and we’re still learning but we found a way.

“We came out in the second half and looked a bit flat and a bit tired at times but we hung on and that was a result where we’ve worked extremely hard. The attitude and effort has been outstanding.”

On Lewis Murphy’s sin binning:

“It’s accidental but at the end of the day the rules are it’s the player’s responsibility to make sure you don’t make contact with the head. And that’s what’s been officiated for the past nine or 10 weeks, so you can’t change it now.

“It was accidental and I feel sorry for the fella but that’s the rules.”

St Helens: Sailor; Bennison, Cross, Percival, Murphy; Welsby, Whitby; Paasi, Mbye, Lees, Sironen, Whitley, Knowles

Interchanges: Lomax, Walmsley, Clark, Delaney

Leeds: Miller; Edgell, Newman, Handley, Lumb; Connor, Sinfield; Palasia, O’Connor, Oledzki, McDonnell, Gannon, Watkins

Interchanges: Holroyd, Lisone, Bentley, Jenkins

Inside David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash – as one A-list star snubs dress code

Celebrating David Beckham’s 50th birthday with a huge bash in London with his family, including his wife Victoria, along with Guy Ritchie and Tom Cruise, is a big deal.

David Beckham is celebrating his milestone birthday in style on July 50. The football legend and his wife Victoria Beckham were seen arriving at the black-and-white party.

David and his famous family were seen arriving at the opulent Core restaurant in Kensington, London, where chef Clare Smyth will prepare a special three-course menu for him.

To decorate the venue prior to the arrivals, florists had seen arriving earlier that day with green foliage and white and pink peonies. Brooklyn is not expected to attend, despite Romeo, Cruz, and Harper being among David’s children.

“David is putting a brave face on it, but he is heartbroken.” He is swimming in it, and tonight is all about love and celebration. Although David and Victoria sincerely hope he will change his mind, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, did not attend, according to a source who spoke to The Sun.

Sheinbaum says she rejected Trump’s offer to send US troops to Mexico

Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, claims Donald Trump offered to send US troops there to combat drug trafficking.

Sheinbaum claimed that Trump had contacted her about how he could combat organized crime and that he had suggested sending US troops during a press conference on Saturday.

The Mexican leader said she disagreed, saying, “We will never accept the presence of the United States army in our territory.”

Sheinbaum remarked, “No, President Trump, our territory is inviolable, our sovereignty is inviolable, and our sovereignty is not for sale.”

Her remarks come a day after Trump reportedly demanded from Mexico to allow for “more US military involvement” in the fight against drug cartels.

According to the news outlet, “tension rose” during a call between the two leaders on April 16 as Trump “pushed for the US armed forces to play a leading role in battling Mexican drug gangs that produce and smuggle fentanyl to the US.”

Trump has repeatedly criticised Mexico and Canada as the US’s other neighbor for their drug trafficking since taking office in January.

He claims that the two nations permit the entry of fentanyl, the most potent drug, into the US through their borders.

Along with other factors, Trump’s administration has linked fentanyl trafficking to its push to impose steep tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods.

Sheinbaum stated on Saturday that she had offered to work with Trump in addition to increasing the amount of information being shared.

The Mexican president claimed that at the same time, she had urged Trump to put an end to the wave of violence that has claimed more than 450,000 lives in Mexico over the past 20 years.

She continued, noting that Trump issued a Friday order to “make sure that everything necessary is in place to stop weapons from entering our country from the United States.”

Trump had made it crystal clear that Mexico must do more to combat these gangs and cartels, and that the US is prepared to help and bolster our already close cooperation, according to a spokesman for the US National Security Council.

Trump and Sheinbaum had collaborated closely to create the “most secure southwest border in history,” according to the spokesperson.

However, the spokesperson claimed that “dangerous foreign terrorist organizations continue to threaten our shared security and the drugs and crime they spread across the country.”

Despite numerous legal challenges to his strict anti-immigration policies, Trump has continued to push forward with his plan to carry out the “largest deportation operation” in US history.

To enforce immigration laws, the US Department of Defense announced earlier this week that it had designated a second stretch of the border with Mexico as a military zone.

The most recent area is located close to the El Paso Fort Bliss Army base in the US state of Texas.

Arsenal to use ‘anger and rage’ of Bournemouth loss against PSG

  • 85 Comments

Prior to their most recent success, Arsenal needed momentum.

A full-strength team falling to Bournemouth for the first time ever at home wasn’t what they needed.

The Gunners’ preparations for Wednesday’s crucial Champions League semi-final second leg at Paris St-Germain were hampered by Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to the Cherries, which was unfortunate for Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal’s future depends entirely on their success in Europe, and they need to win the match with a 1-0 lead.

After conceding two goals in the second half from Declan Rice’s opener, Bournemouth now appears to have to face that test, but Arteta believes a loss like that could turn things around for them.

He claimed that it didn’t give rise to the desired momentum. There was a lot of rage, rage, and disappointment as a result.

What must Arsenal accomplish in order to defeat PSG?

The Gunners need to defend set pieces better, for one.

The visitors’ goal was not on target for the first hour, but they were still in control of the game despite being far from at their best against Bournemouth.

However, Dean Huijsen headed in from Antoine Semenyo’s long throw to equalize on his first such attempt.

A corner was flicked on to the far post again, and it was Arsenal’s fault for the winner.

The most goals conceded by Arsenal this season are scored in set-piece situations, which is the highest percentage in the English top flight.

On Wednesday, Arsenal must score, and then somehow escape a PSG side that has so far this season scored a league-high 42 goals at home.

Arsenal has led the Premier League five times in a row, but four of those games failed to maintain that lead.

This season, they have combinedly lost 21 points from Premier League victories (also 21 in 2019-20), which is their highest total in a single campaign.

The other issue with Saturday’s defeat was that Bournemouth could not make a single attempt on or off target after the Gunners took the lead in the 75th minute.

Former West Ham goalkeeper Rob Green said on BBC Radio 5 live, “At the minute, you just cannot see that. [Arsenal beating PSG].

You remove Declan Rice from this team, and you have a group of players without any experience in scoring goals and having an impact.

“A major wobble” occurred at the incorrect moment for Arsenal?

Arsenal were Liverpool’s main rivals for the Premier League title for the majority of the season, but their subpar run of form has left them clinging on to second place.

Even though they are three points clear of Manchester City in third place, Newcastle’s lead will be cut to two if they defeat Brighton on Sunday.

Chelsea will be four points adrift if they beat Crystal Palace on Monday and fifth-placed Nottingham Forest at home against Liverpool on Monday.

With three games left, the Gunners’ chances of finishing in the top four could be in jeopardy, just as important as the fact that the top five will also secure Champions League football next year.

“Are the wheels at Arsenal off”? Chris Sutton, a former Premier League player, stated live on BBC Radio 5.

They “are having a major wobble,” don’t they?

Although it may not be as dramatic, Arteta is aware that the Gunners need to be significantly improved from their most recent performances to prevent the season from sputtering even more than it already does.

He said, “Yes, we have a lot to do because we are mathematically unqualified for the Champions League.”

‘I paid £250 for my lunch at David Beckham’s swanky 50th venue – and left hungry’

The A-listers’ list includes the football star’s birthday party. However, as long as they pay at least £200 per head, and that’s before wine, anyone can eat at the fantastic Notting Hill restaurant.

I had a taste of the special chef-designed gourmet dishes his guests will be served at David Beckham’s lavish 50th birthday party for his famous family and hand-picked A-lister friends in London’s ritzy Notting Hill.

The ex-England captain and Manchester United ace can afford to hold his once-in-a-lifetime birthday celebrations anywhere in the world, but he chose his latest favourite foodie haunt and hired out the entire 55-seater fine dining space for the intimate dinner.

Beckham’s Instagram account is mostly pictures of his biggest fan – himself – but a year ago he turned food blogger when he posted pictures of his lobster dinner at Core by Clare Smyth, praising the “amazing team” and their Northern Irish owner chef Clare Smyth.

Chef Clare Smyth is the first British woman to receive the highly sought-after three Michelin stars for her food. She is also the former Gordon Ramsey, whose Hospital Road restaurant had become renowned for its seemingly endless list of ingredients that ended up in reductions and foams. The waiter pointed to the smear on the side of my plate when I asked where the partridge was that I had ordered.

Continue reading the article.

Chef Smyth, who was raised on a potato farm in her native county of Antrim, has given the dish its own twist by nodding off to the humble spud. Her fine dining restaurant is among the best in the world, with an emphasis on natural, sustainable food that comes from UK farmers and fishermen.

However, we paid £457.50 for lunch for two with just one glass of wine for “fine dining,” which read “tiny portions at eye-watering prices.” The price for a bottle of Petrus or Pomerol, which costs £4, 000, was the lowest on the 74-page wine menu, which included a glass of lovely fresh Albarino white wine, which I had.

Because the seven-course seasonal tasting menu costs £265 per person without wine, and the three courses we chose from the daily menu seemed like a bargain, we ordered from the daily menu for £195pp, this is the kind of place where they put the price tag next to the listing.

After making the mistake of ordering “prairie oysters,” which turned out to be genitals, I asked one of the friendly and attentive waiters in their Harrods green bell-hop suits where the portion of my starter dish of sweetbreads came from.

However, when staff members suddenly appeared to me and said, “Your amuse-bouches, madam,” they placed a number of small rocks,mossy garden knolls, and beach-themed terrariums on our cream-leaf table and placed a selection of small rocks.

In fact, the main dining room resembled a luxurious car interior, which is how I imagine the local Kensington glitterati would arrive.

On one of the hottest days of the year so far, I enjoyed the 15-minute walk from the tube station, and I probably needed to get hosing down once I arrived to this haven of calm.

The exquisite amuse-bouches were presented on what appeared to be fairy bonsai planters, which turned out to be tiny jellied eel, lobster roll, mini seeded taco shells filled with microscopic chicken jelly cubes, pea and mint gougere (cheese puff to you and me), indicating the sea and soil from which they were derived.

However, I realized that not everything is edible when I sifted down what appeared to be a pebble, which turned out to be one.

In the end, it was just that the lamb’s sweetbread starter was from because it had been crispy and deep fried with honey and mustard on shavings of kohlrabi; to be honest, I’d happily eat it while deep-frying the carpet underneath.

But my main course, which consisted of smoked mussels on an apple and cabbage bed, was delicious and simply cooked. The portion size, which was clearly intended for customers on slimming jabs, was my only gripe.

Before pudding arrived, we were served the chef’s signature dish – a Core “apple” amuse-bouche which looked like a scene straight out of Disney’s Snow White.

I was sure the waiters had said it was a toffee apple, but I was wrong to learn it was just mousse in a jelly skin with apple pureed filling. I had assumed it was one of those glazed orange toffee apples.

Our final amuse-bouche, which consisted of mini jellied eggs made from sweet Sauternes and Banyuls wines, was placed on what appeared to be a sacrificial horn from a May day dance, and I thought the trend of serving food on pieces of wood or slate had become out of fashion.

The wealthy were obsessed with having food that was elaborately crafted, especially at feasts, to resemble other dishes.

Because my pudding of wild strawberries was finally delivered, they were freeze-dried and fashioned like a mini-tofu and mozzarella salad, and it seems like we haven’t moved on in 500 years. Very funny, but I was anticipating fresh wild strawberries and a little cheated up like I did with the Disney apple.

Head chef Jonny Bone waved us away after two and a half hours of marveling at the restaurant’s open kitchen, saying “It was fantastic, thank you.” I suppose I could have murdered a burger an hour later, to be honest.
