The final act on the Glastonbury 2025 Pyramid Stage was Olivia Rodrigo, who performed her medley of tunes to a sold-out crowd at Worthy Farm.

Olivia Rodrigo gave a memorable performance to cap off this year’s Glastonbury. The American was in awe of the sheer volume of people who had seen her perform on the Pyramid Stage when she took to the stage wearing a short white corset dress.

Olivia showcased her vocal prowess with flawless vocals and impressive piano playing on some of her biggest hits, including Drivers Licence, Vampire, and Traitor. Fans were gobsmacked by the surprise guest appearance, though.

The American singer songwriter welcomed singer-songwriter Robert Smith to perform a double of duets. And it was their performance of Friday I’m In Love that had fans gasping.

One enthralled user wrote: “Jfc I didn’t realize I needed Olivia Rodrigo to sing Friday, I’m in love so much.” Another claimed that “Robert Smith’s performance of Friday’s I’m in Love with Olivia Rodrigo is a true Glastonbury moment.”

A third person said, “I need to go to an OLIVIA RODRIGO’S CONCERT,” while another claimed, “I need to go to OLIVIA RODRIGO’s concert and do Friday I’m in love was not on my Glasto bingo card but wow.”

Her epic performance comes after another recent gig in London at BST Hyde Park left fans stunned with another huge surprise performer. On Friday, the Drivers Licence singer shocked fans as she welcomed Ed Sheeran to the stage with her.

She sent fans wild as she introduced him as “one of the best songwriters of all time”. It’s far from the first time the Shape Of You singer has turned up at someone else’s show, having previously joined the likes of Taylor Swift and Stormzy.

And he praised Olivia after the show. He continued to be a fan of Olivia’s on Instagram since his first appearance at the beginning of 2021. For me, neither of these albums have any skips. I support the right things.

She hit me and asked to sing The A Team with her, which was a huge hit, but I’m not going to watch the show anyway. It’s honor and privilege to be playing that song to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation as it approaches its 15th year, and I can recall playing it to rooms without anyone there in 2010″.

Prior to her huge closing set, Olivia spoke to the XM CBS channel in the United States. She explained how she sees Morissette and No Doubt frontman turned solo artist Gwen Stefani as a great inspiration for longevity in music.

She expressed her love for Alanis. She is also very gracious. When I talk to her and talk to her, I think that’s how I want to live my life. She obviously got it right, in my opinion.

I really like the way Gwen manages to blend rock and pop in a really cool way. I admire her because she’s very risk-taking and adventurous. I don’t know, though, but who is to say? Tomorrow, let alone in five years, I’m not sure where I’m going to be.

She also made fun of a potential break from music soon. If there was a story in a movie that I thought would be particularly moving, “she said,” I would love to do that too. I’m open to it even though I’m not yet certain.

And he also wished Olivia luck before her Glastonbury performance, saying: “Rock Glasto headline Sunday @oliviaarodrigo, UK loves you x”

After Megan was deemed the least favorite girl and dumped, Love Island fans told Conor to “go home” and follow her out of the villa.

After Megan was dumped from the island in the episode on Friday, Love Island fans instructed Conor to follow her home. Megan and Conor finally agreed to try it and concentrate on their relationship after days of arguing, but Megan was brutally kicked out of the villa.

Conor drew a few tears as he bid his final fare at Megan’s announcement and was shocked and upset. Fans have since been left perplexed by Conor’s request to wait for him while he is still staying at the villa, with many telling him to “go home” if he truly likes her.

One fan took to x, formally known as Twitter, and said: “ffs he cared that much, he didn’t go with her”, while another asked: “Why didn’t Connor leave w her then??”. A third penned: “I ain’t crying. he could have gone with her”, while a fourth added: “Don’t ask her to wait,..leave with her”.

Conor said as the episode progressed that he was unsure whether or not he would find another type of relationship with Megan, which made things even more perplexing.

Conor said, “I have no doubt that anyone will pass through that door thinking that Megan is going to be my girlfriend on the outside.”

Following a dramatic week in the villa, where Remell and Megan were brutally dumped after being chosen as the least-favorable boys and girls, came this. After seeing Remell kiss bombshell Poppy outside of danger in “The Sleepover,” Alima had already decided to break her relationship with him.

Remell and Alima both claimed to be done, despite the fact that Alima and Remell continued to be together.

On the other hand, Megan had only just begun a relationship with Conor, which appeared to be moving in the right direction. The girls and boys who Megan was leaving behind shed tears during her emotional goodbye.

She told Conor she would wait for him and that she would as soon as she sat down for a private moment with him.

Megan commented on her exit from the villa, “I’m gutted to have left because I was putting things together with Tommy and Emily.”

I would have liked to have negotiated better terms with Tommy. We were on our way, but time will tell, and I had no choice. I made some of my closest friends there and had a blast.

As Dan Osborne, the husband of The Only Way Is Essex, prepared to launch his new tanning salon business, EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa showed her support for the couple.

Jacqueline Jossa has thrown her support behind her husband Dan Osborne as he launched a new business – weeks after fears their marriage was on the rocks. The former EastEnders star, 32, has been married to ex-Towie star Dan, 34, since 2017 and together they are parents to two.

It was suggested earlier this year that Jac and Dan’s union was in trouble and headed for disaster. However, there were indications that the couple was going through them in April, and a “make or break” vacation gave the impression that they were still together.

Jacqueline, the wife of soap, showed her support for the new business venture as she arrived over the weekend at the launch of her husband’s. In Benfleet, Essex, Dan opened a new tanning salon called Paradise.

Over the weekend, the couple were spotted there, with Jac sporting a t-shirt with the name of the new store on the back. Dan teased the official opening day while sharing highlights from a launch event.

Sharing photos and video footage on Instagram, he wrote: “Thank you to everyone that came down today for our opening party of @paradiseinbenfleet We will be finally opening Wednesday 2nd July been a long time coming.”

Jacqueline responded to the post by quoting “Congratulations” alongside an enthralling emoji. Dan’s post caused many other people to respond with additional congratulations messages.

Over the course of their 12-year romance, Jacqueline and Dan have weathered many storms. They first met at an awards ceremony in 2013 and soon started dating.

Ella, their daughter, was born in February 2015, and they made the announcement that they would have their first child together the following year. The pair revealed their engagement four months later, in June 2015.

Dan shared the news with a social media post explaining he got down on one knee during a trip to Greece. He shared at the time: “She said YES!!! I am the luckiest man in the world to be marrying the woman of my dreams.”

The couple tied the knot in June 2017 and announced that they would have a second child in January 2018. However, they had their first bump in May of that year, according to reports that claimed Jac and Jac had broken up while they were still expecting.

Second daughter Mia arrived in June 2018, and it was revealed that they had reconciled in October that year, only for Dan to face several accusations that he had been unfaithful in 2019.

The couple managed to stay close throughout their marriage despite being repeatedly accused of having problems. However, there were rumors that they had broken up and were selling their family home at the beginning of this year.

In the end, Dan and Jacqueline refuted the accusations, but rumors in March claimed Dan had left. They rekindled their romance in April when they took a “make or break” vacation to Mexico.

Dan and Jac appeared to be getting along well, according to a fellow traveler who said: “They looked like any typical couple. A few British tourists were present at the resort, but no one recognized them, leaving them to themselves for a while and pass the time.

Rod Stewart made sure to include some of his enduring musical friends at this year’s Glastonbury, which he did adamantly.

It was a family affair for Sir Rod Stewart as he returning to Glastonbury for the first time in over two decades.

Fans of all ages watched him power with their parents as the crowd poured into the 90-minute set. There was no generation among the tens of thousands who praised his performance.

The 80-year-old Maggie May rocker pulled off all the stops for the Sunday Legends Slot at the Pyramid Stage, where special guests Ronnie Wood, Lulu, and Mick Hucknull performed his classics.

Rod’s family, who mingled with fans and supported the legendary singer before his big day, was the real stars of the show, though.

Just hours before Rod took to the stage, his wife Penny Lancaster put on quite the show herself as she mingled with his fans in the VIP bar.

The Loose Women star – and Rod’s older sons, dressed in his trademark leopard print – looked every inch the proud family as they laughed and joked with people excited to see their loved one’s big moment.

Penny had a good time meeting up with her friends before watching her husband’s show, so she took selfies with hard-core fans while battling the heat.

But Penny’s work to ensure Rod’s set went smoothly started way before today. Speaking to the Mirror ahead of the show, an insider revealed how Rod went to military-like lengths to ensure all went to plan.

The star has been taking vocal rest to make sure his raspy voice is firing on all cylinders, despite being super-fit from swimming in his pool four times per week.

Rod is a chatterbox, but he knows he needs to preserve his voice, which is his biggest asset, says our mole. “It’s been quite difficult. This week, Penny and his entire band have been performing at a secret location.

It seemed Rod wanted to give back to Penny while on the Pyramid Stage as he gave a touching nod to his supportive wife. Near the start of his show, he threw in the classic First Cut Is The Deepest.

Rod first released the song Cat Stephens on tape in 1976. And he did it again, which was fantastic entertainment for the audience. However, it appeared to be him giving his wife of 18 years, Penny, a sweet nod, to eagle-eyed fans.

Rod snarled and wryly smiled as he sang the line, “I still want you by my side.”

Rod’s wife had to provide better PR, which he could not have asked for. They have a very lucky fan base if she can accurately represent how he treats his supporters.

Following his contentious Saturday performance at Glastonbury, Bobby Vylan took to social media to post a defiant response. Before Kneecap’s set, Bob Vylan’s performance was taken off BBC’s iPlayer.

And then Bobby took to Instagram to defiantly declare, “I said what I said. And he followed up with a lengthy statement.

He wrote, “I listen to my daughter typing out loud as she fills out a school survey asking for her opinion on the current state of school dinners as I lay in bed this morning, my phone buzzing nonstop, inundated with messages of both support and hatred.”

She stated that she would like more choices, healthier food, and dishes that were inspired by other cultures. We may not be doomed after all, but listening to her voice her thoughts on a subject that she cares about and affects every day reminds me.

The only way to improve the world is to teach our children to speak up for the change they want and need, he added.

It is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to carry the torch that was passed to us as we get older and our fire may start to dwindle as a result of the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities.

He continued to say that it is crucial to “display to them the right thing clearly and loudly.” Let them witness our marching in the streets, organizing online, and yelling about it on any and every stage that we are given, the musician added.

And he said, “We’re having a change in tomorrow’s school dinners, and tomorrow we’re having a change in foreign policy.”

The BBC made a statement explaining its decision to postpone the Bob Vylan set. According to the organization, “some of the comments made during Bob Vylan’s set were incredibly offensive.

A warning was posted on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language used during this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage. No changes have been made to the schedule to make the performance available.

Bobby Vylan sung the chants “Death, death to the IDF” to crowds at the festival’s West Holts Stage.

Many viewers were offended by the footage because Health Secretary Wes Streeting labelled it “appalling” and the scenes had initially aired live on BBC iPlayer.

Avon and Somerset Police later stated in a post on social media that “we are aware of the comments made by acts at the Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. Officers will evaluate video evidence to determine whether any crimes might have led to a criminal investigation.

As police viewed videos of comments made by Kneecap and Bob Vylan, the statement was made.

After admitting she had taken up golf to find a partner at nightclubs, DJ and TV star Denise Van Outen approached her reported new man at the Glastonbury festival.

Denise Van Outen attended Glastonbury with a very special person, according to reports. She was spotted walking through the iconic music festival with her rumoured new boyfriend following her recent heartbreak.

The 51-year-old DJ and TV personality had a daughter Betsy with Lee Mead, who she had a relationship with ten years ago. After spending 18 months together, she split from Italian real estate mogul Jimmy Barber and trader Eddie Boxshall.

Denise admitted to having the “most hedonistic summer” as a single woman last year, but it seems she is now happily loved up. Having joined celebrity dating app Raya and even taken up golf in an effort to find a man, Denise’s work looks like it has paid off.

The former Big Breakfast host spotted with businessman Adam Butler in the VIP area where she appeared to be “smitten” and surprised Glastonbury fans with a secret DJ set.

“She was holding hands with Adam and they looked like a couple of loved up teenagers,” a source told the Sun, who also saw photos of the pair together. “Denise was smiling and laughing at his jokes and he was taking real care of her, making sure that other boozy revellers didn’t crash into their path.

It’s wonderful to see her expression of joy. Denise told the Mirror last month that she thought golf was a better option for finding a new partner than dating websites and partying on the town.

She told us, “The reason I got into it was after my divorce, and I wanted to go somewhere where there are just loads of men,” to be exact. I recently asked, “Where can I go?” – I can recall spending time with my friend.

“You just go to a nightclub when you’re young,” he said. And I said, “I just don’t want to spend the night in the club, and I’m not going to be able to do that.”

Where have all the nightclubbers vanished, I asked myself? And I looked, and the majority of my male friends have advanced and played golf. “Perfect” was what I imagined.

This summer has probably been the most hedonistic summer I’ve had since the 1990s, Denise told the Mirror after splitting with Jimmy. I’ve had a lot of fun, going out frequently, and enjoying myself over the summer. However, I have a good sense of when to stop.

She previously opened up on how she was exploring new romantic possibilities after joining the celebrity dating app Raya. Denise said: “I did connect with one massive Hollywood star.

We had a brief chat, but I didn’t live in Los Angeles, so I assumed he wouldn’t travel to Chelmsford. I adored Raya. I’ve made some friends. I go on dates. Not an angel, I am. I’m having fun on the go.

Denise’s representative has been contacted by The Mirror for comment.
