Dani Dyer is busy planning her happily ever after following years of heartbreak as she prepares to walk down the aisle to footballer Jarrod Bowen. The Love Island star, 28, is putting the finishing touches on their big day which is set to take place next month.

She has already given fans and Jarrod a glimpse of what she’ll look like at the altar as she partied on her first hen do wearing a classy white gown. The couple share twin daughters, Summer and Star, and Dani is also a mum to Santiago, 4, whose dad is her ex-partner, Sammy Kimmence.

They revealed they have opted for a small wedding, after Jarrod popped the question while on a romantic boat trip in Ibiza last summer. Despite trying to keep numbers low, the pair are not compromising on style or elegance.

Given the recent details surrounding the big day, it is anticipated to be a party like no other. The night before their wedding, Daniel and Jarrod will say their “I dos” in the English countryside.

Sticking to tradition, Dani will reportedly stay with her famous dad Danny Dyer and mum Jo. The EastEnders star is set to walk his daughter down the aisle, while Summer and Star will be flower girls.

Less than 50 guests can attend a Bridgerton themed bash, according to Dani. It will be a significant contrast to Danny and Jo’s extravagant trip to Spain with more than 100 friends and family members.

The reality TV star is said to want numerous violins and will support those who are close to her. While Jarrod’s younger siblings Arty and Santi, Dani’s younger brother, Santi, will be page boys, Jarrod’s brother will be a groomsman.

Dani is also set to have six bridesmaids. A friend told the Sun: “I have never known Dani to be so calm. She’s got so much to organise and think about but she is taking it all in her stride.

“There is a type of serenity and peacefulness within her as if she’s exactly where she is meant to be in life.” Dani previously revealed she and Jarrod will be having a small wedding.

The former Love Island star said to her Instagram followers last year, “I honestly can see why people elope and then have a big party, because the guest list I honestly found so difficult.

She continued, “I’m getting married in about five months.” I’m in shock about it. I’m so excited to see everyone. After the ceremony, Daniel also confirmed that she will be using the double barrel surname Dyer-Bowen.

She also revealed her “dream” wedding vibe in a November interview with Fabulous. The venue is beautiful, and we’ve found it. It’s uplifting Bridgerton. She said, “I want violins.”

I’m just hoping it doesn’t rain, I guess. You never know since we’re getting married in the UK! She is “adamant one thing would make her call off the occasion,” she continues.

Dani spoke to the Sun about her worries regarding Jarrod’s alleged stag do in Las Vegas as well as her hen do. According to Daniel, “The wedding is off if he comes home with a tattoo on his face.”

“My dad and Jarrod’s dad Sam are going too,” my dad said. And she claimed that she had some very specific requests regarding the itinerary and details of the trip. She stated, “I want willy straws because 17 of us are going to Ibiza O Beach.” It should be chaotic and enjoyable, but a little classy, in my opinion.

Feeling grateful that my wounds are healing well and that I will always bear this pride. A reassurance that I should take my time and look after myself.

Talks over GB cricket team for LA 2028 Olympics

A British cricket team that could play at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games is being discussed.

As the sport prepares to make its Olympic debut, negotiations between the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket Scotland have already begun.

Trudy Lindblade, the head of cricket for Scotland, stated to BBC Radio 4: “We have been in discussions with the ECB and are currently looking to form a Team GB cricket team.”

The British Olympic Association (BOA) mandates that a British team must meet the requirements for Olympic Games participation.

BBC Sport received confirmation from the ECB regarding those discussions.

The International Olympic Committee announced last week that LA 2028 will host six-team T20 competitions for both men and women.

“The six teams for us would have an opportunity through the GB concept,” Lindblade said. “So it’s really interesting.

Up to 15 players can be placed in squads that are participating teams, but the qualification procedure has not yet been confirmed.

There are many things to learn about how qualification happens, not just for those six teams, but how a GB team would be selected, “Lindblade added.

We’re in for exciting times, and we’ll keep in touch with LA 2028 and ICC colleagues. It will be fascinating.

Cricket’s only previous Olympic appearance was in Paris in 1900.

After the Netherlands and Belgium withdrew, Great Britain won the one-off final by 158 runs against France.

The 2028 Games will feature a men’s football team, according to the BOA, which will bring together the England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland Football Associations for the first time since London 2012, with a men’s team being formed there since then.

No Need For Big Changes At Liverpool, Says Slot

Arne Slot, manager of Liverpool, believes that keeping the squad that is chasing the Premier League title is more important than major acquisitions.

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have both signed new contracts to stay at Anfield, which has improved their plans for the upcoming season.

When his contract expires at the end of the season, Trent Alexander-Arnold is still rumored to be moving to Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Van Dijk anticipated a “big summer” in the Reds’ transfer market before signing his new contract.

Federico Chiesa, who has largely played a peripheral role, was Slot’s only signing during his first year in charge.

The Dutchman is content with his squad, but with 13 points clear of Liverpool’s Premier League leader, the Dutchman is content with it.

Let’s see what the rest of the summer will bring, but it would be strange for me to admit that after a year, we are content with the team we have,” Slot said on Friday.

It might already be a big summer if we can keep that team.

It is also beneficial to have some new energy in and around the place with one or two players, as long as they continue to work together as best as they can, as long as they are performing as best as they can.

When you consider the standard we have and the standard of the season we have had, it isn’t really necessary. ”

If Arsenal loses to Ipswich and Liverpool defeat Leicester, they could win the title as soon as Sunday.

After recovering from ankle injury, Alexander-Arnold is back in contention to play.

Slot praised the right-back’s “incredible” qualities and remained hopeful of keeping the England international.

He demonstrates to me what a great player he is and how diligently he is working to accomplish our goals this season, Slot continued.

He is an incredible full-back, and he has been an incredible full-back for this football team, according to the fans and everyone who has watched football for the past five, six, and seven years.

See what the future holds, says the author. ”

Greatest European comebacks as Man Utd beat Lyon

Manchester United produced a stunning late fightback to beat Lyon and reach the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday.

They came back from being 4-2 down and scored twice in the final minute of extra time to achieve an extraordinary 5-4 victory at Old Trafford and 7-6 aggregate win.

It is arguably up there with one of the best fightbacks in European compeition.

Ajax 2-3 Tottenham (semi-final second leg, 8 May 2019)

Tottenham celebrate after beating AjaxGetty Images

Tottenham travelled to Ajax for the second leg of their semi-final trailing 1-0, and things went from bad to worse in Amsterdam when Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech put Ajax 3-0 ahead on aggregate before the break.

Spurs needed to score three times without reply to progress, and were given a glimmer of hope 10 minutes into the second half through Lucas Moura – and it was game on just four minutes later.

Moura pounced on a loose ball in the box after Fernando Llorente’s shot was saved and he curled home to put the hosts on the ropes.

Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona (semi-final second leg, 7 May 2019)

Divock Origi celebrates scoring for LiverpoolGetty Images

Just 24 hours before Tottenham’s heroics in Amsterdam, Liverpool had become just the third club in the history of the Champions League to overturn a three-goal first-leg deficit.

The Reds’ hopes of forcing their way back into the semi-final after a 3-0 loss to Barcelona at the Nou Camp looked slim, especially with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino unavailable due to injury.

But Divock Origi got the ball rolling on seven minutes, before the tie really turned in the space of 166 seconds after half-time when substitute Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice.

Fulham 4-1 Juventus (last-16 second leg, 18 March 2010)

Zoltan Gera celebrates scoring for FulhamGetty Images

Fulham welcomed Juventus to Craven Cottage having lost the first leg 3-1 and it did not take long for the tie to look out of their grasp.

After just two minutes, David Trezeguet netted an early goal for the Italian side.

However, Bobby Zamora scored seven minutes later and ignited a comeback which proved pivotal in a season where they reached the Europa League final.

Fabio Cannavaro’s sending off for a professional foul on Zoltan Gera helped swing the game in Fulham’s favour before the Hungarian’s neat finish put them ahead.

Red Bull Salzburg 4-1 Lazio (quarter-final second leg 12 April 2018)

RB Salzburg celebrateGetty Images

Trailing 4-2 from the first leg in Italy, Salzburg’s challenge looked to have been ended when Ciro Immobile extended Lazio’s lead in Austria 10 minutes into the second half – his 39th goal of the season.

But Moanes Dabour pulled a goal back a minute later with a deflected strike to stir the home side back to life.

Amadou Haidara’s 72nd-minute stunner from 30 yards sparked an amazing four-minute period, in which Hwang Hee-chan put the Austrian champions ahead on away goals before Stefan Lainer headed an aggregate winner.

Barcelona 6-1 Paris St-Germain (last-16 second leg, 8 March 2017)

Neymar celebratesGetty Images

Arguably the greatest comeback of all, this one is so iconic that it has its very own title in France and Spain – La Remontada (the comeback).

PSG were clinical at home, winning 4-0, but the Nou Camp sensed something special when Luis Suarez scored after just three minutes in the second leg.

Barcelona were two goals to the good at the break courtesy of a Layvin Kurzawa own goal, but still trailed by two goals on aggregate.

Lionel Messi scored a penalty soon after the restart but Edinson Cavani hit back to silence the home faithful, although it wasn’t the pendulum-swinging moment PSG hoped for.

Barcelona, now trailing 5-3, needed three goals in fewer than 30 minutes to achieve a miracle. Neymar scored a free-kick in the 88th minute to offer further hope, before the Brazilian stroked home a 91st-minute penalty to level the tie at 5-5 on aggregate.

But PSG were still heading through on away goals.

AC Milan 3-3 Liverpool (final, 25 May 2005)

Liverpool celebrate winning the Champions LeagueGetty Images

Moving away from two-legged ties, the 2005 Champions League final was an unforgettable night of football.

AC Milan thought they had their hands on the trophy after racing into a 3-0 half-time time, but seven second-half minutes altered the course of history.

Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Smicer and Xabi Alonso scored to level the game for Liverpool and that is how it remained after 120 minutes, with Reds keeper Jerzy Dudek making a stunning double save from Andriy Shevchenko in extra-time.

Paris St-Germain 1-3 Manchester United (last-16 second leg, 6 March 2019)

Marcus Rashford takes a penaltyGetty Images

In a memorable year for English comebacks in the Champions League, it all started with Manchester United seeing off Paris St-Germain in the last 16.

Interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffered the first defeat of his tenure in the first leg when a 2-0 loss at Old Trafford halted an 11-game unbeaten run.

None of the previous 107 clubs to lose a Champions League or European Cup first leg by two goals or more at home had managed to advance and few expected United to buck that trend.

But Romelu Lukaku got United off to the perfect start after two minutes only for Juan Bernat to hit back 11 minutes later, restoring PSG’s two-goal aggregate lead.

Manchester United 2-1 Bayern Munich (final, 26 May 1999)

Ole Gunnar Solkjaer celebrates as Manchester United win against Bayern MunichGetty Images

It was almost scripted that Manchester United would seal the final piece of their historic Treble in ‘Fergie Time’.

With the Premier League and FA Cup already secured, United had the small matter of German giants Bayern Munich standing in their way in the 1999 Champions League final, at the Nou Camp.

With Roy Keane and Paul Scholes both suspended, United’s hopes had already been dealt a blow, and their mission grew even tougher when Mario Basler put Bayern ahead on six minutes.

But ultimately the final proved to be a tale of two substitutes – Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
