Raye halts headline All Points East gig as crowd goer suffers emergency mid set

EXCLUSIVE: Award-winning singer Raye paused her headline gig at All Points East Festival for several minutes after someone in the audience fell ill

Raye paused her sold-out headline set at All Points East for several minutes after someone in the audience fell ill. The 27-year-old Escapism singer is the headline performer at the festival in Victoria Park this weekend, with the likes of Tyla, FKA Twigs and Jade also hitting the stage.

However, she had to stop her performance for one to two minutes after a number of people pointed out that someone fell in in the crowd, with the Mirror understanding that the person may have fainted. “She was very nice about it all,” someone said about the emergency situation.

A few more people in crowd were seemingly injured during her set, with Raye telling the crowd: “There’s a lot going on in the audience tonight, security can you just look down there, thank you”.

The temporary pause in her gig comes after fans shared complaints about the dustiness of the entire event.

The festival which attracts thousands of fans every year is held at Victoria Park and last week Cleo Sol and SAULT headlined on Friday, while the next day fans were treated to Chase &amp, Status.

Despite a number of huge stars performing at the event, fans were focused on how dusty the entire area was, with some claiming their lungs were filled with it.

Taking to Twitter/X, one person posted: “I’m sure I’ve lost my voice because my lungs is covered in dust.” Another disappointed person added: “We all left looking like we’d been in the mines all day.”

Another attendee commented: “Don’t go to All Points East unless you want to come back looking like a chimney sweep”.

One fan chimed in with: “I’m sure I I’ve lost my voice because my lungs is covered in dust”. A fifth person said: “I loved yesterday at all points east, not the biggest dnb fan but the vibe was insane”.

They added: “However, two showers later and I still feel dirty, coughing up so much dust and I’m supposed to do it all again next week? Pls let it rain I’d rather slid about than smell that dust again”.

Other stars performing on Saturday included Jyoty, Nao, Montell Fish, Cat Burns, Nia Smith, Bimini, Mackanzy Mackay and more.

On Sunday, Maccabees are headlining the festival with Bombay Bicycle Club, CMAT, Black Country, New Road and more hitting the stage.

France grind out hard-fought win over stubborn Italy

Women’s Rugby World Cup – Pool D

France (10) 24

Tries: Grisez, Khalfaoui, Escudero Cons: Bourgeois (3) Pens: Bourgeois

France made a winning start to their World Cup campaign with a hard-fought 24-0 victory over Italy at Sandy Park.

Winger Joanna Grisez scored the only try of an attritional first half before France ground Italy into submission in the second, with further tries from forwards Assia Khalfaoui and Charlotte Escudero.

Points had flowed across the tournament’s opening two days, with the first four matches yielding 42 tries, 20 of which were scored in the first half. But this game in Exeter bucked that trend.

Despite camping inside Italy’s half, dominating the scrum, and benefiting from numerous handling and line-out errors throughout the opening 40 minutes, France were largely frustrated by Italy’s excellent scramble defence.

At one point, captain Marine Menager was held up by three defenders as she drove over the tryline.

France had to wait until the 27th minute to make the breakthrough, Grisez coming on the overlap and brushing off two defenders to dot down in the left corner.

A second try was ruled out on the stroke of half-time as the video referee was unable to determine whether France’s Morgane Bourgeois had touched down Kelly Arbey’s backward flick ahead of defender Alyssa D’Inca.

Full-back Bourgeois then kicked a penalty to send her side into the break with a 10-0 lead.

France extended their lead five minutes into the second period, prop Khalfaoui powering through a gap in Italy’s defence after a period of sustained pressure.

France’s handling was increasingly sloppy as the game wore on and they were forced to defend a line-out on their tryline following a dangerous break from D’Inca and Sofia Stefan.

Police are investigating death threats aimed at I’m A Celebrity star Dean McCullough.

The Radio 1 presenter has been inundated with terrifying messages from online trolls since his appearance on the ITV show, leaving him fearing for his safety.

Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, 33-year-old Dean revealed: “When I came out of the jungle, I started getting so many death threats. People tell me they wish I’d got AIDS and died or that if they see me in the street they’re going to batter me.

“People were saying they were to come to my work at the BBC and my house. It hurt. It was really heavy stuff.”

A panicked Dean reported the threats to Greater Manchester Police, who have now launched an investigation and sought assistance from other forces.

“There are 35 different accounts that were classed as having malicious contact and 12 of them were aggravated malicious contact, which is basically a death threat. They’re being identified”.

The abuse has left Dean feeling devastated. He confessed: “I had an absolute ball when I was in the jungle, so to come out and have all of that joy taken away from me was such a shame. I was really shocked. I couldn’t believe people would write those things.

” When you’re feeling vulnerable and you get a nasty comment, it can really knock you for six. I had to hide for a bit. I spent a few months under my duvet. It was such a struggle to get up.

“These people got annoyed by me living my best life on a TV show. It’s such a shame that they send me abuse”.

Defiant Dean is now determined to have the last laugh. The star continues to present his weekday afternoon show on Radio 1 and on Saturday, he performed a DJ set at Manchester Pride.

He declared: “I’m not going anywhere. I’m not going to change. I’m not going to dim my light just to please the trolls who say they want me to kill myself. I am going to continue being out and proud in my day to day life”.

This week, Sam Thompson, his sister Louise Thompson, her partner Ryan Libbey, and their son Leo took off together. Some of the photos were posted on social media today.

Reality TV star Sam Thompson showed off his physique on a family holiday this week. The former Made in Chelsea cast member has joined his sister Louise Thompson, her fiancé Ryan Libbey and their son Leo on their latest trip abroad.

The group is said to have traveled to Spain as a result of the summer vacation, which Sam, 33, and Louise, 35, have shared. He also posted a number of photos of his arrival at the beach with his loved ones.

The photos were shared on Instagram this afternoon. One showed Sam and personal trainer Ryan, 35, stood beside each other at a resort. The pair were both seen shirtless as they soaked up the sun on the vacation together.

Sam was spotted sipping on a beverage while sporting a pair of dark pants, sunglasses, and baseball cap. Ryan, his future brother-in-law, held a t-shirt in one of his hands while choosing blue swimming trunks and a baseball cap.

Leo, three, and his nephew, who is three, were seen using Duplo blocks to build a tower on a table at the beach in another photo shared by Sam. The radio host joked in the post’s title, “A tower has been made,” along with a laughing emoji.

As his sister Louise watched their son play, she saw her sister, Leo, wearing a white t-shirt and dark sunglasses. On the table where the family was sat together, food plates were visible elsewhere.

Sam later shared a photo of himself greeting a cat while exploring the vacation spot. As he petted the feline, he was spotted crouched down in the street and captioned the post, “I’ll always find a cat.”

While a photo of Sam and Ryan sat together at a table for the duration of their meal was shared with fans on the platform today. In an outdoor seating area, the pals, both wearing black vests, were seen grinning.

Louise expressed her holiday excitement this morning. Stevie Nicks’ Edge of Seventeen is being played in Stevie Nicks’ video for the family as they travel in a car. In the caption, Louise talked about playing music while traveling.

Feel as though you’re in the GTA, she told her followers. When I’m driving at night while loud music and bright lights make me feel like I’m playing a computer game. Bring on this trip, Louise declared in the caption of the post on the platform.

Sam lives next door to Louise and her family in London. Ryan recently told the Mirror that he has grown close to his future brother-in-law, with him telling us that the two pals “hang out all the time,” including without Louise.

Ryan revealed that he is now planning his wedding to Louise after discussing their relationship. The couple tied the knot seven years ago in 2018, but it is said that after welcoming their son Leo in 2021, they postponed the wedding.

Ryan stated in the interview with us that he and his wife have “registered our intentions to marry.” The procedure has officially begun. Either a small wedding and party at the town hall or an international event is still in the making.

Ryan made a joke about Sam being Sam’s best friend when he was asked if he would. Then, he mentioned Louise’s brother: “We’re very close now. We live next to each other, communicate frequently, even just to talk about life together.

Draper reveals extent of arm injury before US Open

British number one Jack Draper says he feels “ready to go” at the US Open despite still feeling the effects of a painful arm injury.

Left-handed Draper revealed he has been struggling for several months with a bruised humerus – the bone that runs from the shoulder to elbow – on his serving arm.

But the 23-year-old Englishman, who reached the New York semi-finals last year, attempted to play down the issue before his first-round match on Monday.

“It’s an injury which takes time to heal,” said Draper, who starts against qualifier Argentine qualifier Federico Agustin Gomez.

“A bone can heal but it might be giving me some discomfort.

“I have been looking after this for a while so I’m looking forward to just getting back competing.

Draper has not played a competitive singles match since his surprise Wimbledon second-round exit in early July.

He pulled out of the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open – both key ATP tournaments leading up to the US Open – in order to fully recover from the arm issue.

After starting to feel a problem during the clay-court swing, he said it got “progressively worse” over the grass-court season which culminates at the All England Club.

However, he was loathe to blame the injury for his defeat by veteran opponent Marin Cilic.

“I felt like my arm was shutting down a little bit when I was hitting forehands and on the serve,” said Draper.

“It got progressively a bit worse. Then on the grass it got quite painful. I didn’t know what I was dealing with.

“After the grass, I got it checked out. It is one of those where if you keep playing with it, it could become very, very serious.

“Saying that, it was not so bad because I could do a lot of other things as well physically. It wasn’t like I had to stop completely.”

Draper returned to the match court this week when he played alongside American star Jessica Pegula in the new-look mixed doubles at Flushing Meadows.

While it did not look like Draper went full throttle on his serve as the pair reached the quarter-finals, he said it was “perfect” preparation.

“In tennis, having a month and a half out is quite a long time,” he said.
