Jessie J admitted ‘some days are harder than others’ as she shared an honest update a month after her breast cancer surgery. The Price Tag singer was diagnosed with “early” breast cancer and underwent crucial surgery last month, with the star sharing frequent health updates with fans on social media.

She’s currently in recovery and took to her Instagram page this week to tell fans she’s ‘feeling good’ despite ‘some days’ being harder than others. Along with a compilation video of snaps of her holding her son Sky, she wrote: “It will be 4 weeks since my breast cancer surgery on Saturday. I am feeling good. Some days are harder than others.

“I’m moving well, but I’m still very sore, but I’m becoming more and more like myself every day.” It’s all catching up with me now, mentally. thus allowing for some passive observation. It’s definitely a rollercoaster.

Jessie claimed that while she was recuperating, her son and her partner were away on vacation.

Sky has left his father to spend two weeks with his Danish family, as well as so I can rest and get some physio. (And reorganize the entire house using my sister and my mother as my bodies), lol. My adhd and ocd are still in place.

She went on to say: “I’m not allowed to pick Sky up for a few months and that has been a difficult adjustment, I just want to hold him like this and spin around. But in the bigger picture it’s a small sacrifice to have my health and to still be here.“The day will come I can lift him up for a cuddle. I can’t wait for that day. That day is what gets me through these days. These days are weird. I love being your Mum Sky. I miss my boys.”

Fans eluded posting their support in the comments section, with one user stating, “You are so strong!! Amy Dowden wrote, “Sending you so much love,” and Amy Dowden, “Such love!”

The human spirit is incredible, a fan said, “No one knows how strong we are until we are put to the test.”

A sweet clip of Sky, who she shares with basketball player Chanan Colman, singing along with him at the studio three weeks ago was shared by Jessie J.

She wrote: “This is so special. This little boy is the brightest light in my whole world.” The star has been updating fans throughout the difficult journey, and provided one two weeks post surgery.

She was described at the time as entering “survival mode” after being diagnosed.

Strictly Come Dancing star Ore Oduba ‘ashamed and embarrassed’ after falling for scam

After falling for a scam where he believed he had received an exciting email from American podcaster Mel Robbins, Strictly star Ore Oduba said he is “ashamed,” “embarrassed,” and “human.”

Ore Oduba was rendered to tears in a six-minute video that was shared on Instagram.

Ore Oduba, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, was left to cry after falling for a scam. The presenter claimed to have fallen for a sophisticated online scam that he believed to have received a message from Mel Robbins, an American podcaster.

Mel Robbins is the writer of transformational books, including The 5 Second Rule, The High 5 Habit, and The Let Them Theory. The TV star explained how the scammers impersonated the globally renowned author, speaker, and podcast host after he had appeared on Loose Women and claimed her philosophy ‘changed his life’.

Speaking to his Instagram followers, he explained: “I reposted that interview, I tagged the Mel Robbins podcast, tagged the Let Me theory, tagged Mel, tagged everybody who cared, and then I got an email from my agent who forwarded on an email from the team at the Mel Robbins podcast.”

He said, “I could have cried, they knew who I was!” when describing his initial feelings. The Mel Robbins podcast team sent me an email. I kept everything to myself. how she had altered my life. And I figuratively stated at the end of the email that being who I am is everything. Thank you so much for reaching out.

Unfortunately, the email later turned out to be a scam, and Ore claimed he was “ashamed” and “embarrassed” of having fallen for the con. The TV star explained to the audience how excited he seemed at first sight and how ironic that he had once hosted a show about scammers called Claimed And Shamed.

He claimed in the video, “I’m reading this back and I know how it made me feel at the time. I responded with “Mel, I’m holding back tears,” and I wrote back. Is this true, really? You must have AI assisting you in getting to know all of these fans, Mel said in response, “Of course it’s me, it’s Mel Robbins.”

Ore continued, “I never thought that he would be someone who would be defrauded,” and that he was fortunate to have discovered the scam before being conned out of giving any money.

He captioned the entire article, “I’m ashamed, I’m embarrassed, and I’m human.” I didn’t expect to be defrauded, but this shows it can happen to anyone. particularly with AI’s assistance and manipulation. How quickly I became “hooked” is terrifying. It’s so frightening, and it was SO convincing.

The TV star urged viewers to “hear their gut,” ignoring what they believed to be true.

He continued, “I’ve made no secret of how much Mel Robbins, her book, and podcast have aided me through a very difficult period. Truth is, I completely ignored something I had so long wanted to believe and nearly caused myself trouble (sidenote). When I made this video, I realized how frequently we do the same thing in relationships as well.

It’s most likely telling you the truth, so listen to your gut. Don’t be defrauded; it’s not fun. I’m still deeply moved by and adore Mel Robbins, and I’m so appreciative of their prompt response. It was too late for me, which is unfortunate.

Do Africa’s leaders have a ‘game plan’ to deal with Trump?

Arikana Chihombori, a former diplomat to the African Union, claims that Trump’s approach to Africa is “a step in the right direction.”

If they can’t agree on fair trade deals with the US, claim the former African Union representative Arikana Chihombori-Quao.

Chihombori-Quao tells Steve Clemons that the “trade, not aid” policy of US President Donald Trump “opens up an opportunity that African leaders were not given by the colonisers, the European countries, when they set out to exploit the continent of Africa.”

Final leaderboard for the Open Championship

-17 Scheffler (US), -13 English (US), -12 Gotterup (US), -11 Clark (US), Fitzpatrick (Eng), -10 MacIntyre (Sco), Schauffele (US), McIlroy (NI)

Selected: -9 DeChambeau (US), -7 Rose (Eng), Hatton (Eng), -6 Aberg (Swe)

Scottie Scheffler had effectively won his first Open Championship title less than an hour after he teed off on Sunday afternoon.

The game was already underway, but the world number one was only stepping off the fourth green. At Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, a field-to-field lead by four shots had grown to seven.

His dominance was further accentuated by a third birdie of the round on the fifth, which only left him with the option of a modern eight-shot win over Tiger Woods, which he did in 2000 at St Andrews.

The 29-year-old ultimately struggled, but a three-under par 68 won him on 17 under par, four shots clear of fellow American Harris English, who closed with a 66.

Regarding Rory McIlroy’s world number two playing in his native country, Scheffler said, “I know I wasn’t the fan favorite.”

After posting a 67, surprise Scottish Open winner Chris Gotterup of last week finished five shots clear of Scheffler, while England’s Matt Fitzpatrick, who had been dominating the leaderboard all week, birdied two of the final three to finish joint-second and follow Wyndham Clark (65) and Li Haotong (70), who were tied for fourth overall.

McIlroy appeared emotionless as the adoring crowd greeted him like the champion on the final green.

He was tapped in for a par and placed 10 under with Xander Schauffele, who had previously finished second, behind Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre.

Scheffler is the new year’s champion golfer, but Woods’ comparisons to him will only get worse as a result.

McIlroy told BBC Sport, “He is the bar that we’re all trying to get to.”

This statistic strengthens that perception. Between Woods’ first major success in 1997 and his fourth major victory (the 1997 Masters and 2000 Open), a total of 1, 197 days passed. Between Scheffler’s first major success and his fourth (the 2022 Masters and 2025 Open), a total of 1, 197 days have passed.

Before turning 30, he is also the only player to win the Masters, US PGA, and The Open, along with Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Woods.

Scheffler won his second major title of the year in addition to his two Masters, winning in particular at the US PGA Championship in May. He turns 30 when the final day of the Shinnecock Hills, New York, event in June, will be the only event required to complete the career Grand Slam. He will only need the US Open.

The American won his second medal at the Antrim coast in 2014, joining his former country for gold at the Paris, France, Olympics last year.

How the final round turned out

According to legend, McIlroy would provide the fairytale ending after enjoying what has been a week-long lap of honor in his native country.

McIlroy bounced along with a boisterous backing to post a 66 on Saturday, his first competitive performance since winning the Masters. He returned to his native Northern Ireland.

If he wanted to elude Scheffler’s six-back reeling in at the 2022 Tour Championship in Atlanta, he needed another quick start on Sunday.

His first five holes, which included two birdies and a bogey, were anything but. In addition, Scheffler managed three under par holes while completing the same challenge.

McIlroy’s welcome on the first tee suddenly lost its thunderous vibe.

Other places raised no issues.

Li Haotong, Scheffler’s playing partner, posted two bogeys in his first four holes, despite only having three in his first three rounds. On the front nine, Matt Fitzpatrick combined two birdies and three birdies.

then .

On the eighth hole, Scheffler stumbled into a fairway bunker and recorded a double bogey.

In addition, Gotterup was making a birdie putt to take the score to 11 under in the ninth inning. Four was suddenly the lead.

Scheffler then resumed “playing like Scottie,” as McIlroy put it on Saturday.

On the ninth, he hit a bounce-back birdie to four feet. The lead reverted to six with Gotterup and Li bogeys, who were also on par at the following. Game is undoubtedly over.

This would have been an Ageless Open without Scheffler.

In a battle for the minor spots, the leaderboard sounded. The Europeans were largely forgotten in the final global competition before the Ryder Cup in September, as American names emerged.

As the competition for one of the six automatic spots in each 12-strong team heats up, major victories earn big points.

Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time major champion, put the final 64 to reach nine under after a seven-over 78 on Thursday.

With a 66 to finish a shot better and put it even further up, Wyndham Clark hit a 65 to close with 11 under, Gotterup a 67 for 12 and English made it a 67 to tie it with a 66 to finish with a shot better than second. Xander Schauffele, the current champion, briefly held a tie for second place before posting a 10 under par par.

Fitzpatrick outscored MacIntyre with his late birdies to give a star-spangled leaderboard some European color, finishing with four birdies in his final seven holes to finish level with McIlroy.

‘I waited so long for Oasis gig and they have taken my dream away from me’

A long-time Oasis fan traveled from Wakefield with a group of friends for the Wednesday night (July 16) show and was standing when security claimed he had been kicked out by security personnel.

A long-time Oasis fan was misled after being misled into missing their Heaton Park performance and missing the long-awaited reunion he had been looking forward to. Wakefield resident Lewis Burnage, 26, made the journey to the Wednesday night (July 16) concert with friends, securing a front row seat.

His excitement was jedoch slowed down just four songs into Oasis’ set when security, who had mistaken him for a group that was causing flares, ejected him. Lewis, a devoted follower since his early teens, spent roughly £135 on his ticket last year at the general sale in search of the music that had provided the soundtrack to his life.

After watching support acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft warm up the crowd, he and his friend Tom, who was the only ones in their group with front standing tickets, entered their section separately.

However, Lewis’s dream night turned sour as Oasis began with “Cigarettes and Alcohol,” which was followed by other revelers in his path. Retail worker Lewis recently told the M. E. N that when the bus started to slog, “I was having the best time of my life.”

“I was letting off flares in front of the people.” At first, security seemed unconcerned, but after those guys let off more flares, the security came over, picked me up, and took me out.

“My friend was asking security staff where they were taking me and they said they were moving me onto a different place,” he said, reports the Manchester Evening News.

They simply said they had to and dragged me out of the crowd, and I was carried over the barrier, and I wasn’t told why.

“One of them has my arms and the other has my legs,” according to the video. I started crying once they told me I was being removed, and some of the footage shows me getting really emotional.

allegedly, video that iscirculating on social media shows Lewis being escorted out by security and then withdrawn from the front-facing area.

They dropped me at the barrier after passing through the gate, the exit wall, and then the exit gate. I repeatedly requested a supervisor, but they told me to leave. A man simply stated that I had been taken away for a reason, but he refused to explain why.

After that, I just stayed at the gate and attempted to contact a supervisor, but they refused, so I went to a friend, who I was alone in a familiar location, and had to wait on the street to watch the show from there.

“One of my friends called me at the end, and they picked me up because it was too far to walk,” I said.

Lewis described his ordeal, blaming the staff for blocking his entry when he returned to the gate earlier that day. He was informed that because he hadn’t exited through that gate and that he shouldn’t have been removed with his wristband, re-entry was not possible.

He said, “I was shocked and disbelief, and it still hurts, to be honest, after all these years of waiting.”

He expressed his concern for safety at concerts, saying that “they shouldn’t let these flares enter concerts because it’s dangerous and destroying people’s lives.” It was a possibility of a flare-up that was much worse.

Lewis, who was determined to find answers, gathered evidence and posted it on social media, saying, “I won’t be the first to find out this happened.”

He continues to be incredulous, saying, “I know others get removed for being drunk or disorderly, and I do get it, but I just can’t believe it happened to me, I didn’t do it.”

He confessed to the victim that he took two days off after the incident because he felt so distressed. I’ve been devastated, I didn’t want to deal with it, I just wasn’t in the right mindset.

Lewis emailed Showsec and SJM to ask for an explanation. While SJM confirmed they would launch an investigation within 28 days, Lewis said it would be too late for any Oasis shows, Showsec requested more information, including the date and time.

He explained that the men in his place had set off smoke flares and gave Showsec and SJM, the Oasis concerts’ organisers, detailed information about the location and time of the incident.

On Friday (July 18), a Showsec’s customer service team spokeswoman expressed regret and wished Lewis had received more information about the incident, including details about the time, place, and staff involved.

An SJM Concerts representative acknowledged Lewis’ complaint on both Friday and Saturday, promising to look into it thoroughly and respond to it in the span of 28 days.

It’s difficult to say that talking about it makes me feel very upset, but I’ve just made an effort to remain optimistic. However, security has caused me to have burns and bruises on both my arms and body. I had a lifetime to see Oasis, but they have sincerized my dream.

Brash wins silver at Jumping European Championship

British Equestrian Jon Stroud

At the 2025 Jumping European Championships in Spain, Scott Brash of Great Britain won individual silver.

With a score of 1.088, The Scotsman won Britain’s first individual show jumping medal on Hello Folie, taking home the country’s first medal since 2019.

On United Touch S, Germany’s Richard Vogel, a world-ranked ninth-ranked individual, won gold, and Gilles Thomas, a Belgian, came in third on Ermitage Kalone.

After taking silver in the team competition on Friday, Brash and Hello Folie won the other medal in A Coruna.

Following nearly flawless first-round efforts, Vogel and Brash placed first and second, respectively, in round two, and stayed there until the tense conclusion.

She has shown the world this week how talented she is, according to Brash. She has taken the biggest courses so far, she said. She’s grown up throughout the week, and I think she’ll use this championship to develop further.
