Following the star’s father’s passing in 2009, Jake Quicken’s son, Leo, claimed he saw Jake’s late father, Paul, in the house.
Jake Quickenden was left shaken after his son Leo claimed he saw the 36-year-old’s late father standing by the bedroom doorway. The singer and ex-footballer quickly filmed a video asking his son questions about what he saw while Leo looked nonchalant about the entire paranormal ordeal.
Leo was laying on his bed in the moving video, asking his father questions. When Jake inquired, “Your daddy’s here,” Leo responded, “What did you say to me a minute ago”? When the toddler inquired about his late father’s location, Jake repeated what Leo had said. He is invisible because, according to Leo, he was the sky.

Jake then inquired about Paul’s passing, who passed away in 2009 from myeloma, in the home. Jake was informed that this was where Leo saw Paul when he pointed to the bedroom doorway.
When Leo inquired what the late Paul was doing by the doorway, he responded, “He was greeting me. Jake questioned whether Paul had left him a message, which he could not contain.
Leo revealed that Paul had already said he loved Jake when Leo was lying down on the bed. The actor admitted that the paranormal circumstance had scared him a little bit.

I’m not sure if I’m completely terrified or cry because Leo and I were just playing in my room when he started saying this stuff, literally out of the blue. !
He then described him and everything, and he’s seen a few pictures, but overall total madness. What would get him to say that? Kids see, they say.
Celebrity Big Brother’s Chris Hughes wrote, “I believe every word, very sweet of him to pop bye to see you,” in the comments section.

What is truly beautiful, and kids are so interested in this kind of thing, Lucy Jo Hudson wrote. Your beautiful boy just told you, one fan said, “He was there, babes! How amazing and happy for you.
Jake’s father’s passing in 2009 caused him to fall apart, and his brother Oliver passed away with bone cancer at the age of 19 in 2013.
Yet, their spirits remain part of the family tapestry, with Jake sharing a heartfelt nod to them by naming his kids after them.
Before his second child, Kit, was born, he said, “Leo’s middle name is Oliver, after my little brother, and the new baby’s middle name is Paul.”

British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell believes scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park will be “up and running” by the time the side reach Australia next week.
After sitting out Leinster’s United Rugby Championship (URC) final victory over the Bulls on Saturday, Gibson-Park – who is widely tipped to be the starting nine come the Test series against the Wallabies – will not feature against Argentina in Dublin on Friday night because of injury.
Farrell, though, said the results of a scan on Monday were “pretty positive” and added that those unavailable to face the Pumas in the tour’s first game were “all a week or so away from being fit”.
“Good news on most of the injuries,” said Farrell, who will be acting as Lions head coach for the first time on Friday.
Leicester Tigers scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet has been brought into camp as cover, although England’s Alex Mitchell will start at nine at the Aviva Stadium with Wales’ Tomos Williams on the bench.
Hugo Keenan and Tadhg Furlong also missed out as Leinster claimed their first silverware in four years at Croke Park on Saturday, but the latter will play his first rugby since his side’s Investec Champions Cup semi-final defeat by Northampton Saints on 3 May should he come off the bench against Argentina.
Furlong, 32, will become a Lion for a third time at the end of a season when he has been dogged by injury and only featured nine times for his province and Ireland.
“He’s fit and ready to go,” Farrell said of the tight-head prop, while adding that Scotland and Glasgow centre Huw Jones has trained fully.
“He’s trained well and as keen as everyone else to get the show on the road.”
‘Those guys are ahead of the game’
With Leinster, Bath and Leicester Tigers all involved in domestic finals last weekend, and Toulouse’s season still ongoing in France, it was a smaller panel that Farrell brought to Portugal last week for a training camp.
Although Leinster hooker Ronan Kelleher will be on the bench on Friday night six days after lifting the URC, the remainder of the side picked to face Argentina were present when preparations kicked off.
“Those guys are ahead of the game. It turned out quite a nice mix for those guys to get ahead of curve [and was] quite a diverse group in terms of combinations and people not playing together,” said Farrell.
“It’s nice for that group to have a week where they get settled in and for the other guys to join them on Monday, some on a high, one [Leicester’s Ollie Chessum] not, but it’s nice for them to have a bit of time to spend with the lads, get to know everyone, and see what’s been going on.
“They’ve had one training session so it was nice to get everyone together finally.”
Despite picking from a smaller pool of players, Farrell believes that the talent at his disposal this weekend shows the depth of the touring party.
“It’s exciting. I did an exercise a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve done it about five times since, of what you think that the Test side could be. You can’t even go there because there’s such good competition.
“The exciting thing about Friday night is these guys get to show their team-mates sat in the stand what they’re all about.
“Ultimately what happens on these tours, you can talk about anything you want to but, these guys, all they’re trying to do is gain respect off one another.”
Santa Barbara, California – Far away from US President Donald Trump’s public confrontations with elite universities like Harvard and Columbia, students at the bustling University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) are finishing up their final exams under the sunny skies shining above the nearby beach.
Despite the distance and pleasant weather, students here still feel the cloud of uncertainty hanging over them, created by Trump’s rhetoric and policies towards foreign students.
“The overall mood across the room [among international students] is that people are looking for other options,” said Denis Lomov, a 26-year-old PhD student from Russia who has been at UCSB since 2022 studying climate change politics and energy transitions.
Since coming into office this year, the Trump administration has revoked the student visas of hundreds of foreign nationals, slashed funding for science and research programmes, arrested and tried to deport foreign nationals involved in pro-Palestine campus activism, and suspended student visa appointments.
For international students at universities like UCSB, where nearly 15 percent of all students are from outside the US, the rhetoric and policies have left students wondering about their futures in the country.
“It makes you wonder if maybe you’d rather go somewhere else,” Lomov told Al Jazeera, adding that he is still several years away from completing his PhD.
Like his fellow international students, he said he has started to consider whether his skills might be more valued in places like Canada or Europe after he finishes his programme.
“I think it’s the unpredictability of these policies that makes me fear about the future, both with me being a student, but also after I graduate,” he said.
Lack of certainty
The Trump administration’s actions against universities and foreign students have met mixed results in the courts.
On Monday, in one of the Trump administration’s first significant legal victories in those efforts, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit from Columbia University over the government’s cuts to the university’s federal funding, based on allegations that the university had not taken adequate steps to curb pro-Palestine activism in the name of combatting anti-Semitism on campus.
In another ruling, also on Monday, a judge extended a restraining order pausing Trump’s efforts to block incoming international students from attending Harvard as the case makes its way through the legal system. Trump has also threatened to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status and has frozen more than $2.6bn in research grants. Harvard has also filed a lawsuit challenging those cuts.
Several universities in the UC system, including UCSB, have warned international students against travelling outside of the country, a restriction that poses serious complications for their academic work and their personal lives.
“People are considering whether they’ll be able to go home and visit their families during their programme,” said Anam Mehta, a US national and PhD student at UCSB.
“They’re being extra cautious about what they post online out of concern about being questioned at the airport,” added Mehta, who is also involved with the UAW 4811 academic workers union.

These concerns, he said, could also stymie the ability of international students to conduct field work in foreign countries, a common feature of graduate research, or attend academic conferences abroad.
Some students — and even university administrators themselves — have noted that it is difficult to keep up with the raft of policy announcements, media reports, lawsuits, and counter-lawsuits that have unfolded as Trump presses his attacks on higher education.
“There have been frequent changes and a lot of these policies have been implemented very quickly and without a lot of advanced notice,” Carola Smith, an administrator at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC), said, noting that prospective international students have reached out with questions about whether they are still able to study in the US.
Smith says that between 60 and 70 different national identities are represented on campus and that, in addition to international students paying higher tuition fees than US students, their presence on campus provides a welcome exposure to a wider variety of perspectives for their classmates and creates connections with people from other parts of the world.
With student visa appointments currently suspended, Smith predicted the number of foreign student enrollments could drop by as much as 50 percent in the coming year.
Shifting attitudes
The stress of keeping up with shifting developments has also been paired with a more abstract concern: that the US, once seen as a country that took pride in its status as a global destination for research and academics, has become increasingly hostile to the presence of foreign students.
“Harvard has to show us their lists [of foreign students]. They have foreign students, almost 31 percent of their students. We want to know where those students come from. Are they troublemakers? What countries do they come from?” Trump said in March.
The administration has also said that international students take university spots that could go to US students, in line with a more inward-looking approach to policy that sees various forms of exchange with other countries as a drain on the US rather than a source of mutual benefit.
“They’re arguing that they don’t need international students, that this is talent they should be cultivating here at home,” says Jeffrey Rosario, an assistant professor at Loma Linda University in southern California.
“You can see a throughline between this and their tariffs abroad, based on this form of economic nationalism that says the rest of the world is ripping us off,” added Rosario, who has written about the government’s history of trying to exert influence over universities.
For Lomov, the student from Russia, the atmosphere has him wondering if his skills might find a better home elsewhere.
“I left Russia because I didn’t feel welcome there, and my expertise wasn’t really needed. That’s why I left for the United States, because I knew the United States provides amazing opportunities for academics and research,” said Lomov.
In an intriguing twist to the family feud saga, Yolanda Hadid’s son, who is the father of Nicola Peltz, has reached out to Victoria Beckham on social media following David’s knighthood news.
Victoria Beckham has been in touch with Yolanda Hadid.
Fashion designer Victoria Beckham has found an unlikely ally after son Brooklyn’s father’s day snub – a fellow matriarch who also has history with Nicola Peltz.
Yolanda Hadid – the mum of supermodels Gigi and Bella – pointedly reached out to Victoria following news of her husband David’s knighthood.
After enduring an 18-month dated with her son Anwar, Yolanda is thought to have had a strained relationship with Nicola.
The 61-year-old was reportedly upset about the age difference between Anwar, 18, and Nicola, 22, who was 18 years old. After their breakup, Nicole unfollowed every member of the Hadid family.
Yolanda responded to Victoria’s post about husband David receiving his honor last week despite the two women not known as friends.
She wrote a “love heart” on social media, telling Victoria, age 51, that David had always been my knight in shining armor. But it’s now official.

In 2022, Gigi and Bella posed backstage with Harper, Victoria’s daughter, for the first time during the Paris Fashion Week catwalk show.
While she was pursuing a career as an actress, Nicola and Anwar had a brief romance. She claimed, “Oh, I’m an angel, but he is an angel in a interview.” He is such a wonderful person. He comes from a wonderful family. Bella and Gianni are so incredibly sweet. I simply adore his family. They are strong, feminine girls. It’s amazing to have that close by.
Nicola’s family insists there isn’t any wrong with her and the Hadids, and that her unfollowing them is a natural course of action when a relationship ends. Regarding their relationship with Peltz, the Hadids did not respond to requests for comment.
The Beckhams fell out with Brooklyn’s wife after the pair snubbed David’s 50th birthday party earlier this year. There was silence from Brooklyn on Father’s Day last week too. Sources close to Nicola insist there is no chance of reconciliation at the moment given the “highly charged atmosphere.”
Her friends have previously insisted that as “an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within”. The claims – described as “parently untrue and ludicrous” by friends of the Beckhams – marked the “nail in the coffin” of any future relationship, according to insiders.

Dad David marked Father’s Day at the weekend by sharing a touching photo of him and son Brooklyn from before they became estranged. Becks, 50, and wife Victoria both included their eldest in social media posts to mark the occasion – but he also uploaded a separate picture of them laughing over a glass of wine captioned: “Love you @brooklynpeltzbeckham” with a white heart emoji.

Chloe Brockett has admitted she has lost herself following her split from Love Island star Jack Fincham. The 24-year-old The Only Way Is Essex star has been in an on-off romance with Jack, 34, since 2019.
However, earlier this month, the once content romance broke down, and the couple are now regaining their lives as singles. Chloe may have experienced a significant impact from the split, but she has admitted to not feeling herself.
Following her breakup, the ITV star responded by posting a heartfelt update to Instagram Stories on Wednesday. She acknowledged that she was having trouble, but continued to say that she had found a way to cope.
She stated to her followers, “I’m going to try to talk to you more on here because I received a lot of messages yesterday.” However, I still feel completely lost in other facets of my life. I was once the most ambitious and determined person.
She continued, “I lived by manifestation and was constantly recording things I want to do next and how I’m going to improve myself.” I have no idea what has happened over the past year, but it seems like the motivation has vanished.

I have ideas, and I always have, but I never give in to it. I don’t know why, but I thought it might be a good idea to share the steps I’m taking to try to get back to myself, say, on day one.
She continued, “I don’t know what I’m going to try and do, but I just didn’t know if anyone else is feeling like they’ve completely lost themselves or how this will benefit them.” Sincere, please let me know if it does.
She said, “Perhaps I could have a little community on here of women or whoever is trying to get back to themselves and how we are doing it.” She was sounding optimistic.
“I never wake up early, so it’s going to be the difference.” I enjoy doing things when I get up early. I want to engage in positive activities while participating in Pilates. Moreover, I’m also becoming more and more driven in my career. My podcasts and similar things. Even if no one listens. Simply return it.
Because it’s so easy to believe everything is perfect on social media and that everyone’s life is great because they have been in the public eye, I just want to be honest and open with you guys.
“In so many ways, my life is blessed. I’m so fortunate to have a beautiful home and a gorgeous car, but I’ve completely lost myself. I just want to reclaim who I was and tell you about it. and perhaps form a small organization.
Chloe then shared a story about how Ashley, a friend she has only ever connected with social media, had suggested that she set up a “30 day challenge” for herself. She stated, “I’m going to take a 30-day challenge that will basically involve just doing things and trying to get better.” So I have to rise at six. I’ll attempt it. I’ll take the challenge seriously.
I’m getting messages from people saying “I’m a new mum, I’ll already be up,” as I’m a new mom tomorrow. I’m going to get up and try to do things for myself, whether it be for an hour of yoga, meditation, or even just getting to the gym.
She then urged her followers to share their stories, and she vowed to share updates with other people. She continued, “I’m not a guru,” but she still encouraged both male and female followers to do the same.
Chloe then shared a screenshot of a fan that showed that they had set an alarm for 6 a.m. and that they had pledged to follow her example. The reality guru captioned the video, “You guys are bloody amazing. I’m crying.
During a Q&A with fans earlier this week, Jack confirmed that Chloe and him were no longer dating. When the aspiring sportsman was questioned about his relationship with the reality star, he said in a negative manner.
He wrote via Instagram Stories on Tuesday: “No. It’s a single summer of boxing and working as hard as I can.”
After the brothers “thought they could do what they wanted,” Liam and Noel Gallagher were forced to leave a pub by a resentful landlord.

A pub landlord revealed he had to kick brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher out of his pub after they thought ‘they could do what they wanted’. Liam and Noel, who brushed their never-ending feud under the rug for an Oasis reunion tour kicking off next month, annoyed a pub landlord when they used to walk in at the last minute.
Mark Chalmers, the current General Manager at Stockport’s historic White Lion, opened up about kicking the brothers out of a Manchester facility he was working at in the 1980s in a recent episode of Three Landlords Walk Into a Bar, a new podcast powered by HEINEKEN SmartDispense.

He claimed that the Gallaghers were the most well-known bartenders he’s ever had to work with when speaking to Jodie Kidd and Merlin Griffiths. However, it cost money.
They’d always arrive late at night when we wanted to close the bar and appear believing they could get what they wanted. They ultimately just pushed it too far, he said, and I just said, “Look both of you, you’re out.”
When questioned about whether the brothers had given him “any gob,” he replied, “Of course they did, but they still give it to everyone, don’t they”? !

Meanwhile, Liam recently admitted he isn’t “in charge” of Oasis rehearsals. With just over two weeks to go, the reunited Gallagher brothers are rehearsing in London ahead of Oasis’ first live shows in 16 years.
Noel was the band’s chief songwriter and organiser, and he was known as “The Chief.” And he still lives up to the name he has today.
When questioned on X, formerly Twitter, who is in charge of everything, Liam replied: “Noel”. He also reiterated that he had called Noel, and that phone call is thought to be the thing that ended the row between the pair.
Confident Liam acknowledged that his voice is “biblical” during rehearsals, and sources at the camp claim that Noel’s guitars’ wall of sound is also nicely sonic.
After the Gallaghers’ 2009 backstage incident at Rock en Seine in Paris, the band split. The duo will be performing together at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4 almost 20 years later.
Joey Waronker and other well-known former Oasis band members are joining Liam and Noel Gallagher on drums.
Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and Joey Waronker are expected to make the entire lineup.
