The rumor of a family feud was further fueled by Brooklyn’s inability to send his mother any messages.

BBC Beyond Paradise star shares huge struggle in first look at tonight’s episode

After failing to find love with his boss on the BBC detective drama Beyond Paradise, PC Kelby Hartford, who is portrayed by Dylan Llewellyn, is considering dating apps.

A Beyond Paradise star is struggling in the new episode of the Death In Paradise spin-off. The fourth episode of the BBC detective drama airs this evening, as the team tackle a brand new case.

This week, DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) faces a dilemma as his wife-to-be Martha (Sally Bretton) becomes caught up in the case. On the final day of the local regatta, there is rivalry between young sailors Francine and Polly.

Although the pair’s daughters are former sailing rivals, Polly collides and plunges into the water while the pair is competing. When she is removed from the water, it is soon revealed that Polly’s smoothie was altered, and Martha is the only person who could have done it. This makes her even more vulnerable to being investigated for her involvement in the poisoning.

Elsewhere, PC Kelby Hartford is desperate to find love and has turned to dating apps in the hope. In a first look shared exclusively with The Mirror, Kelby admits he’s struggling with dating apps to his colleague Margo.

Speaking about his hope for romance, Dylan said of his character: “Kelby is on the dating apps now – he’s looking for love, his soulmate. He sees all these people around him in relationships and yearns for that kind of connection.

“But he’s definitely struggling with the dating world. It’s pretty funny because he messes up some conversations which shows just how nervous and panicked he gets. He turns to Margo for help navigating the apps and, while he stumbles at first, once he gets comfortable, I think he’ll find someone who’s lucky to have him.”

Kelby has evolved, especially in terms of his confidence, and it’s fun to watch him progress in that area. He’s always appreciated the praise of luminaries like Humphrey and Margo, but in this season, we really see him pushing himself to the limit. Whether it’s with the team or flying solo, he’s determined to handle the cases.

“Kelby’s growth is palpable; he’s growing more confident in himself and acting up, even in challenging circumstances. Although there are times when he takes the lead, I believe viewers should anticipate that. It’s been exciting to watch him develop into a more confident, independent character because of it.

*Beyond Paradise airs on BBC One this evening (Friday) at 8 p.m.

From beer to betting – how have football shirt sponsors changed?

  • 107 Comments

There were times when the shirts of the top English football teams featured household names, but those days are long gone.

More and more well-known than ever, and many of the companies that now sponsor shirts don’t even try to sell anything to fans.

The Premier League clubs are sponsored by who?

Before the 2026-27 season, Premier League clubs are expected to implement a self-imposed ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsors. As of right now, 11 teams have a gambling sponsor on the front of their shirts, an increase of three from the previous season.

The combined value of shirt sponsorship deals between Premier League clubs and gambling companies, according to GlobalData figures, is $135.43 million (£101.1) for the 2024-2020 season.

Why have the sponsors of football shirts changed?

When the Premier League was its foundation three decades ago, none of its 22 clubs had a shirt sponsorship agreement with a gambling company.

The majority of the businesses that sponsored teams for the 1992-1993 campaign sold physical goods in Britain, compared to the majority of those who sponsored teams.

One of the front-of-shirt sponsor companies with headquarters in the UK is currently aiming to sell physical goods that fans can purchase directly. Even Standard Chartered, the partner bank of Liverpool, does not permit customers from the UK to open a current account there.

Technology, construction, and clothing are all now almost entirely absent from shirts.

American Express to JD Sports

Seven Premier League shirt sponsors had factories whose headquarters were 100 miles away from their club during the inaugural season. Four of those were based within ten miles, and two, Ipswich and Sheffield United, were closer than ten miles away.

Liverpool is the only club that is currently located within 1,000 miles of the main headquarters of the shirt sponsor.

Big business and wider influence are increasingly what sponsor companies are aiming for, as opposed to the cash flow from the fans in the stands, as have technological advancements and globalization and technological advancements also played a role in changing the dynamic of contemporary sponsorships.

Dr. Joe Piggin, a senior lecturer in sports management and policy at the University of Loughborough, states that “there are around 70 million people in the UK, but there are billions of people all over the world.” Therefore, the companies are provided with economic incentives.

Companies in nations with strong economies in the early 1990s that have since weakened, such as Japan, have become less popular as shirt sponsors as the world has changed.

Meanwhile, sponsorship deals are being made in more recent financial hotspots like the Middle East.

Sponsor companies gain a lot more from working with clubs than just advertising: they can host clients in private boxes, shoot photos with famous players for corporate photos, and occasionally use relationships for political leverage.

What about other league sponsors for gambling?

Although Uefa announced its first official gambling sponsor last summer, the Premier League itself does not have a formal gambling partner.

Gambling companies are also the most frequently sponsored players at top division clubs in Belgium, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Russia, according to Uefa’s European Club Finance and Investment Landscape report.

The top sectors for shirt sponsorships in Europe’s top divisions are:

With six clubs including Burnley, Middlesbrough, QPR, Stoke, Sunderland, and Watford, gambling is also the most widely used category of shirt sponsor in the Championship.

In League One and League Two shirts, there are no gambling sponsors. Energy, automotive, and food and beverage are the three main industries in those divisions.

Why do gambling establishments sponsor shirts?

According to research, gambling advertisements were broadcast more than 29, 000 times in the UK over the first weekend of this Premier League season, almost doubling the previous campaign’s total.

According to Matt Zarb-Cousin, co-founder of Gamban, software that aims to help users quit online gambling, “gambling advertising has become almost inextricably linked to football and the industry makes a concerted effort to target young men, which is the profile most likely to develop problems with gambling.”

A generation is developing up in a culture that associates watching football with betting, believing it to be a necessary component of playing sport.

Between April 2022 and March 2023, gambling companies generated a revenue of £15.1 billion, according to the most recent figures from the UK Gambling Commission. With that income, they have plenty of money to spend on advertising. Some people think they will expand their advertising into other areas, such as pitchside hoardings and perhaps even shirt sleeves, even with the looming front-of-shirt ban.

Piggin claims that the front-of-shirt sponsorship withdrawal is symbolic. The significance of that transition beyond public relations is questioned by me.

What effects does sponsorship have on football teams and supporters?

None of the top six Premier League clubs’ front shirts feature a gambling company: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.

Gambling companies can target clubs in the lower leagues without spending large sums of money on top-end projects because they face a much higher chance of relegation and the potential economic insecurity that comes with doing so.

“It is less expensive than sponsoring any of the top six,” says Piggin. Additionally, they are recognized on shirts when these teams play in the top six anyway. So why would it be said that “look, we’re in the Premier League, who cares who we’re sponsoring?” “

Some of the gambling sponsors have locations in tax havens like Curacao and Malta, allowing them to retain more of their customers’ profits.

Some of the gambling establishments that appear on the front of shirts are impossible for UK customers to wager on.

Even though gambling is prohibited there, many of those businesses have their headquarters in East Asia and are aimed at customers there.

According to Dr. Raffaello Rossi, a marketing lecturer at the University of Bristol, “There are ways around China’s gambling ban using VPNs and so on.” The Chinese government is in charge of all of their advertising, but they only do so in the UK. Because the Premier League is a global phenomenon, they are still reaching the Chinese population.

However, the fact that British gamblers can’t use some of these companies doesn’t necessarily mean the advertisement has no impact on the audience.

The social media star, who has been open about her son’s reflux in recent weeks, took the tot to A&E earlier this week to get tested for reflux, cow’s milk protein allergy, and laryngomalacia, a floppy larynx (voice box) that can cause noisy breathing.

Sophie addressed her followers with the following message: “Hello Everyone, a little update from us. ” Sophie shared Vinnie’s recent health issues in the caption.

“I’m so happy we’re now back home after spending the last week in the hospital with Vinnie. My gut wouldn’t settle on the idea that “reflux” journey Ninnies is something I’ve never experienced before. After going to A&amp, E, I decided to take Vinnie, who has reflux, CMPA, and also has laryngomalacia.

The mother-of-three continued, “This is a common congenital condition that occurs when the soft tissues of the voice box collapse inward during feeding. It feels more comforting and nerve-wracking to finally have answers and to know as parents that we aren’t going crazy. If everything goes according to plan, I feel relieved that we have been heard and that a care plan has been put in place for Vinnie.

“We just need to make sure Vinnie eats well over the course of the month,” she says. She continued as she unflinchingly admitted her feelings, giving one feed at a time. We all do, we must, because things will undoubtedly start to improve soon, but I know how blessed we are as a family, but it really seems like one thing after another has knocked us down this year.

Mrs. Hinch added a message to her fans before closing the caption, saying, “So Just a gentle reminder today. Never let go of your instincts. Your gut tells you, “Have a wonderful Easter weekend, everyone. She then urged any mothers who were experiencing the same situation to reach out, saying, “Ps. For those who are also dealing with any of these cases, especially Laryngomalacia, it would be very comforting to hear your story, thank you” xx.

Georgia Kousoulou, a fellow celebrity mother, wrote: “Sending you lots of love! I’m so happy he’s back home.

While a fan continued, “Your gut will never let you down, especially when it’s with your kids!” Hopefully now you can find some solutions, encouragement, and enjoyment of your gorgeous family x. And a third poem, “You poor thing,” was written. I’m so happy you’re back home and sending lots of love.
