After the tragic news that Liverpool forward Diogo Jota had died in a car accident in Spain, celebrities and fans paid heartfelt tributes to the player.

The world is in mourning on Thursday following the shock death of Liverpool star Diogo Jota. The Portuguese forward died at the age of 28 following a car accident in Spain in the early hours of the morning.

Andre Felipe, Jota’s brother, was also killed in the tragedy in Zamora, near Portugal’s north-west of Spain. Following the depressing news, tributes have poured in from all over the world, with many mourners visiting former clubs like Wolverhampton Wanderers and Anfield.

Huge names in the world of football took the time to remember the player, including former manager Jurgen Klopp and international teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. And the world of showbiz was also on hand to share emotional messages.

Among them was staunch Liverpool fan, comedian John Bishop. The comic took to Instagram to share a touching message alongside an image of Jota celebrating in a Liverpool shirt.

“Heartbreaking news about André Silva and Diogo Jota,” he wrote. “Thoughts and prayers go out to his family,” along with the broken heart emoji.

Piers Morgan also shared a tribute on social media. On Twitter/X, he wrote: “Desperately sad news coming out of Spain that Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota, 28, has died, along with his brother, in a car accident in Zamora. He only got married 2 weeks ago. Heart-breaking.”

The former Good Morning Britain man then shared Ronaldo’s tribute. He added a love heart emoji on his reshared post.

Fern Maguire, the wife of football player Harry Maguire, was among the other people who paid respects on social media. She wrote, “Utterly heartbreaking,” in response to the Premier League’s tribute.

David Beckham also penned touching tribute over the top of a black-and-white image of the star in a Portugal game.”Devastating to hear this such sad news.. Sending love to Diogo & Andre’s families,” he wrote.

Romeo, Romeo’s son, also grieved. Romeo wrote, “Love who you love and tell them how much you really do! Life is too short, love who you love, and tell them how much you do!” after sharing a black-and-white image of the star with broken heart emojis.

Life can “fly before your eyes at any time,” he says! But there will always be those who genuinely care about and love you.

The Radford family, who became well-known with 22 Kids and Counting on Channel 5, also posted: “absolutely heartbreaking news. A crying emoji followed the words, “.

Kirsty Gallacher, a TV personality and sports expert, shared a link to the devastating news on her page. She emailed her a tearjerking emoji.

Sarah Ferguson issued a direct message to the wife of Diogo Jota hours after his heartbreaking death, which came just ten days after he married Rute Cardoso. “My heartfelt sympathy is with Rute, Diogo’s newlywed widow, the precious children who have lost their devoted father, and all those who loved these two extraordinary athletes, Diogo and Andre,” the Duchess said. “May their light and legacy continue to inspire the world.”

And she isn’t the only member of the Royal Family to pay tribute tot he sports star. In a rare post, the Prince of Wales, Prince Williamm signed off his post with “W”, signalling that it was him.

He wrote: “As part of the footballing family, I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who knew him @LFC @Wolves. W.”

It was John and Paul that my dad inherited. But Noel and Liam from Oasis has always been my favorite. The Gallaghers defined the 1990s in the same way that Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles, and other significant changes in Britain were all about in the 1960s. Young people believed they had a voice and a swagger in their step because Labour was about to lose the election.

Both duos achieved fame, more than the sum of their parts. Only a first name will suffice for music icons from Liverpool and Manchester. When I was a teenager, oasis arrived just as I began attempting to sneak into a cheap cider bar. Alcohol and Oasis were the mainstays of my weekend, but I didn’t care about the cigarettes very much.

The attitude, the clothing, the clothes, and the haircuts. It was all Lam and Noel. They turned out to be amazing when we began to attend the shows. Within a short walk of the Gallaghers, adrenaline-fueled mosh pits are located in the front.

For a youngster from Bath, which is quiet, it was exciting stuff. And I admired them. I grew older as they did. The songs continued to play a role in my life, even though my life may have been a little more balanced, and those Oasis gig nights remain significant memories.

These gigs haven’t occurred for 16 years. I’ve seen Liam perform live a few times, and it was great to hear him sing Definitely Maybe tracks again last year. And I’ve seen Noel, who has more artistic and studied live acting in his High Flying Birds, which are entertaining on their own, but lacking in his brother’s driving force and stage presence.

Noel and Liam always had one hand. It’s not the same as either, it’s just different. The wait will be over in Cardiff in 20 years, for the most part. Although it’s been a long time, I’ve tried to pretend I’m not too bothered, but over the past week or so, I’ve had trouble falling asleep and reflecting on the performances at night.

Although men are much better at expressing both pain and joy these days, I don’t typically show too much emotion. And I’m confident that I’ll be able to get my eyes wet in the Principality Stadium despite my best efforts to explain why.

It has something to do with the style of my youth’s music and how a performance can make you feel emotional and transported back in time. From the numerous times you’ve seen the Gallaghers live with your best mate to the nights you’ve sung their anthems together, arms aloft, the album Oasis is the soundtrack of my early years. They flashed in your face as they absorbed the story of our lives.

It’s not bad for me to cry during the concert if I’m the only one, either at one point or another. We believe in one another, and we need one another. Noel and Liam sing along to that song. Did they always think that, even in their row’s deepest places? I’m hoping so.

Never is it too late to forgive and forget. Even if you’re a rock star. Noel and Liam has always been about me, whether you like them or not, whether you smile or snarl on stage.

Cardiff, let’s get it.

Rod Stewart has opened up about his marriage to his second wife Rachel Hunter, and has claimed that she left him because she was “too young” when they tied the knot

Sir Rod Stewart has candidly discussed the collapse of his marriage to his second wife, Rachel Hunter. The 80-year-old rock legend was first married to Alana Hamilton from 1979 to 1984, with whom he shares daughter Kimberly and son Sean. Following the end of this relationship, Rod tied the knot with ex-model Rachel, who was a whopping 26 years his junior.

When they said their vows, Rachel was just 21 and Rod was 45. A year later, they welcomed their daughter Renee, and son Liam followed soon after. It’s suggested that the ‘Maggie May’ singer met his current spouse, Penny Lancaster, merely a day after parting ways with Rachel in 1999.

Reminiscing about their initial encounter, he shared that Penny sought his autograph, which led him to ask her if she enjoyed dancing. “She was an incredible dancer, gorgeous, [and wearing] 6ft 4in heels,” he fondly remembered, during a chat with The Times.

Despite being instantly smitten with the Loose Women star, Rod confesses he was counselled to enjoy single life for a bit post his split from Rachel.

“There were six months between Rachel and Penny because my bass player, who had Penny’s number, wouldn’t give it to me,” he revealed to the newspaper.

“He said, ‘All you’re going to do now is s**g around’. And he was right, I had a splendid time in those six months.” Rod and Rachel officially ended their marriage in 2006, and a year later, he wed Penny, the mother of his two sons.

“Rachel left me because she was too young. My sister said I should never have married her in the first place, but it tore me to shreds,” he opened up.

Reflecting on his relationship with Penny, he added that she’s “got everything” he’s ever desired. Their union has now spanned 18 years, and the couple is still as close as ever. Last week, Penny showed her unwavering support as Rod took on the legends slot at Glastonbury’s iconic Pyramid stage.

Also showing their support were the couple’s sons Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14, alongside Renee and Ruby, Rod’s daughter with ex-partner and model Kelly Emberg.

Before Rod’s performance at the music festival, he and Penny celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary in grand fashion.

To commemorate the occasion, they took a trip on the opulent Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, retracing the romantic stops from their engagement, wedding, and honeymoon journey.

It was in Paris where Rod proposed to Penny, before they exchanged vows two years later in Portofino, Italy, which was then followed by an indulgent honeymoon on board a luxury yacht along the Italian coast.

Last month the Oasis deal with Adidas was announced with huge fanfare including a two minute TV advert on Channel 4 and YouTube.

Noel and Liam Gallagher posed up together for the first time since the Oasis global tour was announced. The brothers were pictured as part of an Adidas promotional campaign, which launched in an advert on Channel 4.

Liam and Noel have only been photographed together once in the last two decades in August last year, when they confirmed the reunion tour with a black and white shot which made headlines around the world.

At the start of the Knebworth concerts, giant Adidas footballs were filmed. A tambourine once struck ice, and Liam could be heard saying, “At some point, a tambourine struck ice.”

You are aware of my words, “There are times when you are in the zone.” You simply remain completely silent as a result of the chaos that surrounds you. Simply put, this feeling is the best in the world, without the need to participate in it. Simply remain completely still.

Then, as the final scene of the commercial showed them reunited and posing together, Liam and Noel could be seen preparing to play a concert on stage.

On Friday night during the Oasis tour, the stadium Merchandise stand will remain open until 11 p.m.

Jessica Simpson posted a photo of herself rocking two daisy dukes on her social media page.

Jessica Simpson looked out of this world as she slipped back into denim shorts two decades after Dukes of Hazzard. The 2005 action comedy movie is loosely based on the 80s series of the same name, with the likes of Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Willie Nelson and Jessica in starring roles.

In the movie, Jessica rocked daisy dukes and red heels. She recently took to her Instagram page to recreate her iconic 00s look. Jessica posed in light blue daisy dukes and a low-cut cheetah print halter neck top. She added a chunky belt, matching bracelets and layered a few statement necklaces.

Red and denim-colored shoes are this summer’s go-tos, according to the caption of the post. Fans hurried to her comment section to compare her appearance to that in Dukes of Hazzard.

One user wrote, “You’re absolutely beautiful hun,” and another wrote, “You’re so beautiful and gorgeous especially in the Dukes of Hazard movie.”

One follower wrote, “One of my all-time favorite movies.” Prior to this, Jessica revealed that she has a “ridiculous number” of shorts in her closet, including those from The Dukes of Hazzard.

She claimed that Diana Ross’ clothing was more glamorous than her outfits. Ashlee’s mother-in-law is Diana’s sister. She said, “Here is full of sequins that make you salivate, and mine is full of Daisy Dukes and Juicy suits.”

Jessica and her husband Eric Johnson split up earlier this year.

The singer and the former NFL player tied the knot on July 5, 2014 after beginning their relationship in January 2010. Maxwell, Ace, and Birdie, their five-year-old children, are their parents.

According to an insider at the time, Jessica had to call it quits on her relationship because the pop star had been sober since October 2017 and that protecting her sobriety was one of the main goals.

A source shared that while Jessica had “grown” since marrying Eric, her husband hadn’t developed alongside her. “Eric likes to take the credit for Jessica getting sober and turning her life around, and while he was supportive of her and her journey, she did this herself. He didn’t babysit her,” they claimed.

Jessica and Eric had been “extremely absent” for a few years, and with the “spark gone,” it no longer made sense to stay together for the kids, according to the insider.

The couple tried a number of methods, including counseling, spiritual healing, and tantric exercises, according to the insider, but “it didn’t work.” Concerns for Jessica’s own health rose in addition to the relationship’s worries.

Alex Jones has been hosting The One Show for more than ten years, but when she was offered the job in 2010, she almost turned down the chance.

Alex Jones, a Welsh television personality, paid tribute to Chris Evans, the programme’s Friday host, who taught her “everything” about fronting live TV and how she got her first TV show job on The One Show.

After retiring from his previous roles as presenters Adrian Chiles and Christine Lampard, Alex spoke with Mark Wogan about being approached by The One Show producers in 2010.

She initially acknowledges that she was being considered a potential host when she acknowledged that she didn’t take the opportunity seriously.

Believing the BBC simply wanted her to cover a handful of segments, she declined the offer, citing her packed schedule with other commitments: “I was doing a surfing programme, a poker programme, a holiday programme, a fashion programme, and just in general, like, a bit of a chat show as well on BBC Wales. So I was quite busy, and I thought they meant to be a reporter.”

However, when the caller made clear that Alex was actually being lined up as a potential presenter, she assumed someone was “winding her up” and hung up the phone.

She only gained confirmation that the job was legitimate after six weeks of auditions with various candidates. And Jason Manford and I ultimately won the job.

As a tea-time presenter, Alex underwent a transformation, which also coincided with the start of her on-screen partnership with Jason, and she underwent a transformation.

She recalls their early years in London, where they first stayed at a posh hotel in Sloane Square because they didn’t have any permanent residences.

“We lived in this hotel in Sloane Square, which was so weird. And I remember that shepherd’s pie was £37, and we couldn’t believe how expensive it was. We were living this funny life where we didn’t know anybody.

We would go to the movies like two kids because we knew no one and were far from our families after each show. Then we would complain to the BBC that this pricey shepherd’s pie cost £37 and ask, “Why aren’t you covering our expenses?”

She truly settled in, though, thanks to her friendship with Chris Evans, who covered for Jason on Fridays. And he was the one who taught me everything.
