Diogo Jota, a football player from Liverpool and Portugal, and his brother were killed on Thursday in a car accident in northwest Spain, according to police.
The Civil Guard confirmed the deaths of Jota, 28, and his brother Andre by reporting a vehicle veered off a motorway and burst into flames shortly after midnight in the Zamora municipality.
The Civil Guard claimed in a statement that “everything points to the blowout of a tyre while the vehicle was overtaking.”

Pedro Proenca, president of the Portuguese football federation, declared on social media that Jota was “devastated” and that he was “a remarkable person, respected by all his colleagues and opponents, someone blessed with an infectious joy and a reference to his own community.
Before Portugal’s Women’s Euro 2025 game against Spain in Switzerland on Thursday, Proenca claimed to have requested a minute’s silence from UEFA.

“We have lost two champions,” he said. We will do everything in our power to honor Diogo and Andre Silva’s legacy every day, according to Proenca. “The loss of Portuguese football is irreparable,” said Proenca.
Just before the accident, Jota and Rute Cardoso tied the knot on June 22 and posted a video of their engagement on Instagram.

Sam Thompson had made a very telling decision following his recent setbacks in his love life. The former Made in Chelsea star, 32, has suffered double heartbreak this year following his splits from Zara McDermott and Samie Elishi.
He had enjoyed a five-year long romance with Love Island’s Zara as they even set up home together next door to his sister Louise Thompson in their beloved Chelsea. Things came crashing down over the new year, which came as a shock to fans.
Zara has swiftly moved on with One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, while a ‘blindsided’ Sam also appeared ready to get back into the dating pool. He embarked on a romance with another Love Island star, Samie.

They were seen locking lips in the street just a few weeks ago, yet last month called it quits with a source telling us: “They both have busy lives, it just didn’t work out.” Hours after the breakup, Sam was spotted back on celebrity dating app Raya.
However, it appears Sam hasn’t been able to connect with the app’s many famous faces. He has made the decision to remain single for a while before embarking on a romantic relationship.

Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast, Sam said: “I’m going to work on myself. No dating, I’m not ready and I’ve realised that.” His sister Louise has already shared her wishes for his next partner as they need to be “classy” or “well to do”.
The former Made In Chelsea star shared: “Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter.” However, best mate Pete Wicks joked: “I think you have more chance with the ginger fella.”
Ron added: “Ron! No, Louise believes I should choose a British thespian because she believes it is “a little different, classy, but well done.”

In earlier this year, he and Samie made friends during Love Island’s Aftersun episode. The pair were spotted embracing in a close-knit embrace outside Olivia Attwood’s birthday party in May at Bacchanalia in Mayfair.
As his fans quietly snagged their hands to announce the potential of a new romance, Sam cupped Samie’s face in his hands and appeared unaware of onlookers. On the Chloe Mediumship podcast, Samie discussed her exes and remained optimistic about the relationship.
She claimed that she had a “gut feeling” about things that “weren’t meant to be,” and that her relationship was “all good at the moment.” It’s still early days.
Before his setback, Sam also wanted to date and declared to Pete that he was “ready to go out there.” He previously stated, “I feel like I’m at a point where I can start approaching women.”
He continued, “I feel good because the world is currently very nice.” And I’m content, too. No more brave faces are visible, indicating Pete’s confident that Sam is ready to date! ‘. “

Scotland’s first encounter with the Maori All Blacks, a first on their Pacific tour, will be led by Glasgow Warriors center Stafford McDowall.
In addition to Sione Tuipulotu, who was then injured, McDowall led Scotland in their Six Nations match against Portugal in November and played in all five of their matches.
One of two vice-captains who starts at scrum-half is his Warriors team-mate, George Horne, who plays back-row for Bath, Josh Bayliss.
Despite the fact that the Whangarei game is not a formal Test match, Horne is the most experienced player in Gregor Townsend’s starting 15 with 36 caps.
Rory Hutchinson, who was initially dropped out of the squad before getting injured with Edinburgh’s Matt Currie, is playing at fly-half and Adam Hastings is at Northampton Saints center.
In their most recent game, the Maori All Blacks defeated Japan XV 53-20.
According to Townsend, “The Maori and New Zealanders in particular, bring a physicality and a real quality to the contact area.”
“But they have a lot of talented players on their team, especially in the backs, where they look to express themselves.”
Scotland XV includes Smith, Paterson, Hutchinson, McDowall (c), Reed, Hastings, Horne, McBeth, Harrison, Richardson, Sykes, Henderson, Bayliss, Onyeama-Christie, Muncaster, and McDowall (c).
Hepburn, Hurd, Williamson, Brown, Masibaka, Burke, and Dobie are the replacements.
Fin Richardson, a Glasgow prop, and his teammate Nathan McBeth are the first to join a senior Scotland side in the forward, and Patrick Harrison, from Edinburgh, is the hooker.
After recently returning from a spell with the Kobe Steelers in Japan to join the Harlequins, George Turner will make his country return from the bench.
Fergus Burke, the uncapped flyhalf for the Saracens and Alexander Masibaka, who was born in New Zealand but qualified through Scottish grandparents, are also available in place.
Harry Paterson and Arron Reed both play for Scotland for the first time in a year on the wings, with Harry Reed from Sale and Harry Paterson from Edinburgh.
Ollie Smith, who has recovered from a knee injury, and second-row Cameron Henderson and openside flanker Andy Onyeama-Christie, both of whom have been recovering from lengthy layoffs, have also not played internationally since the 2023 World Cup.
With only two games left to go, the squad includes Darcy Graham, Tom Jordan, Kyle Steyn, Grant Gilchrist, and tour captain Rory Darge, who is also more experienced.
The evidence for our selection comes from our previous summer tour, which I believe included 11 new caps, a number of those players playing Tests in November, and then playing in the Six Nations, Townsend said.
The short-term plan is to go out and play well this weekend, put pressure on selection for the Fiji game and the Samoa game, and make the most of it all, so they leave a really positive impression on our minds as coaches for the upcoming season.
Kate Price has expressed her disapproval of being barred from her daughter Princess’ 18th birthday party, but in an awkward error she incorrectly stated the date of her daughter’s celebrations.

Katie Price made an awkward blunder about her daughter Princess’ birthday – just days before fuming at being banned from the 18th celebrations. Princess marked her birthday with a special party, filmed for her new documentary.
As a result, Katie – who is not involved in the documentary – did not attend the celebrations and she was left fuming, launching a furious tirade at her ex Peter Andre over the apparent snub. However, awkwardly, Katie made a huge error with her daughter’s birthday just a few days before her rant, after claiming “certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me”.
Katie dedicated a photo to her daughter over the weekend. She wrote: “Happy birthday to the most amazing daughter @princess_andre, you’re 18! There’s so much more adventures we can do.” I will always and forever be in love with you baby girl.
She also added a second post with the words “Happy Birthday to my eldest daughter Princess” and “My whole world, My everything.” My little me. You are my love.

However, she was awkward when she posted a birthday tribute to Princess two days prior to the birth of her third eldest child, which was born on February 27.

Fans saw that she had written the message “Happy 18th birthday to the most amazing daughter and my best friend @princess_andre I love you so much” in one of her stories. It was quickly deleted, though.
Then she switched to a different post that read, “2 days until Princess turns 18 can’t believe it xx.”
Katie riled up about not being invited to her daughter’s birthday party in her most recent podcast. She explained to her sister, “Mummy and Princess can now go out together because Princess is now officially an adult.” If some people would permit her to visit me…
She is known for making this documentary, but I’m not a part of it. Some people don’t believe that being with me with Princess is beneficial. People who used to care for me.
Then Sophie responded, “You aren’t on brand Katie. You are too risky, Katie, and “which Katie criticized and said other people’s behavior waspathetic” even though she was still the mother of Princess.
Katie continued, “I’m just saying,” in a furious rant. I’m having a party, Princess said. And I wasn’t invited because the event was “filming.” Sophie said “oh no, it wasn’t invited because it was for filming” and ‘oh no! What restaurant offered that for nothing? Kate and Sophie later discussed plans with the teenager to celebrate Princess’ birthday.
