Kyren Wilson of England put an end to Zhao Xintong’s 26-match winning streak and gave way to Ali Carter’s Shanghai Masters final.

Zhao has a 26-match winning streak that included the Crucible Championships in May after losing to Shaun Murphy at the UK Championships in November.

However, Zhao surrendered a 5-4 lead in the evening session to Wilson, who won six frames straight for a 10-5 victory in his first tournament since his triumph in Sheffield.

The 33-year-old produced breaks of 70, 101, and 51 during the second half of a strong performance.

In the final, Wilson will face fellow Englishman Carter, who defeated Judd Trump for his first major career title, in a match that he defeated in the semi-finals.

In the other semi-final, Carter defeated Mark Selby 10-6 to reach the final. Mark Allen withdrew at the end of the tournament for personal reasons.

Pop singer Becky Hill treated her fans to a brief insight into her lavish hen party after posting a series of snaps on social media. The singer, 31, who is set to wed her long time boyfriend Charlie Gardner later this summer, flew her friends out to Italy for the special occasion.

The group enjoyed Lake Como’s sights. The Wish You Well actress poses in a white bikini top on a beach and sipping two cocktails in one photo. A “bride” veil was worn to complete her look.

Becky credited a recent gig for allowing her to afford the luxury trip to Italy. This comes after Jeremy Vine reveals what will happen if Joey Barton fails to pay staggering legal bill.

She captioned each of her numerous photos with the caption “I got a gig through that paid for my hen do in Lake Como..!” As we traveled to Snowdonia, it’s safe to say that the girls were very happy.

She continued, “Lucky for life, lucky for friends, lucky for work, and for love.” She poses on a boat once more in a different photo as she demonstrates her admirable figure in a white outfit.

She is seen fanning herself with a fan with the phrase “better off with you” emblazoned on it as she walks away from the camera. And this was done in honor of Better Off Without You, her song.

Becky posted a number of snaps of her friends having fun with her life that made her smile more than ever.

It took no more than a minute for her post to be live before it was overflowing with congratulations. Love this hope you had the best time, radio personality Harriet Rose wrote.

A fan commented, “Looks like you had a fantastic time!” The upcoming chapter will be fantastic. “Hope you had the best time queen,” one of the third phrases added.

Due to her busy schedule, the singer was forced to postpone her wedding by a year. After he proposed to the star while on vacation in the Maldives, the couple made their engagement announcement in January 2022.

Becky has remained unafraid of finding “the one” in Charlie, even writing a song in his honor called Man of My Dreams.

The singer stated at the time, “My partner is now a festival booker and used to be a trance DJ.” He has assisted in both bringing the album to life and providing me with inspiration for writing the album.

Two Tribes lands Goodwood gamble in Stewards’ Cup

PA

The Stewards’ Cup winner at Glorious Goodwood, Two Tribes, won it for the second time in a week with strong support.

The 11-2 chance, which David Egan and Richard Spencer both rode, was as big as 18-1 on Friday.

Two Tribes, owner of the 1980s film franchise Frankie Goes to Hollywood, was named in honor of Phil Cunningham’s successful Ascot win seven days prior.

He surpassed Strike Red by two and a half lengths, with Jakajaro coming in third, drawing 25 of the 27 runners to Goodwood.

He actually made things easier there than he did in the International. Egan, who crossed the finishing line with the horse, punched the air and did a quick double like that.

Run Boy Run and Twilight Calls, both of which placed fourth and fifth, were also in Spencer’s honor.

In the Lillie Langtry Stakes earlier, Callum Rodriguez rode the Waardah-trained filly by Owen Burrows.

Rodriguez, who was one of five jockeys to miss rides on Thursday because a private plane that was taking them to Goodwood had to make an emergency landing, came out in good form with the end of the five-day meeting.

Rylan Clark says ‘once was enough’ as he battles ‘sharp pain’ in love life insight

After a devastating break-up, former X Factor star Rylan Clark has openly acknowledged that he couldn’t imagine going through it twice.

Getting over a relationship can be difficult, it’s a mountain range of emotions on a turbulent sea as both parties attempt to heal following the split.

Breakups can be agonizing ordeals, regardless of whether there has been a marriage. This means that moving forward can be difficult and time-consuming for everyone involved.

This was one topic former X Factor contestant Rylan Clark, 36, explored with his guest Vanessa Williams on his podcast ‘Rylan: How to Be In Love’, during which they shared their romantic experiences.

Rylan has been wed once, for six years to Dan Neal, between 2015 and 2021. Meanwhile, The Devil Wears Prada Musical star Vanessa, 62, has walked down the aisle three times.

She was first wed to Ramon Hervey II, then Rick Fox, and finally Jim Skrip. The timing of one of Rylan and Vanessa’s marriages coincided, with Vanessa knotting with Jim in 2015 before their 2021 divorce.

Rylan admitted that because of the agonizing pain it caused, it wasn’t something he would want to go through again.

Rylan shared that he has to go through it once and that once was enough for him as he continues to endure agonizing reminders of his heartache to this day.

“You still get that weird sharp pain every now and again.

“Oh that glass looks like… and it’s, like, that little,” is what it’ll be like. I had no idea how I would react to going through that twice.

Rylan has previously opened up about his marriage to Dan Neal, with the BBC Radio 2 presenter confessing he experienced certain feelings he wasn’t familiar with post-divorce.

He acknowledged in a statement on the same podcast that he had found that since my marriage broke down, I have found that whenever I go on dates or begin seeing people, or when I have sex with them, I lose interest pretty quickly.

I actually became concerned about it about a year or two ago because I pondered, “Hold on, I don’t remember this from BM, I call it,” before getting married.
