Hugh Grant, the actor who appeared to be dozing off in a crucial Novak Djokovic match on camera in Wimbledon’s Royal Box, has sparked a heated online debate.

Hugh Grant has become the unexpected centre of attention at Wimbledon this week after he was filmed seemingly nodding off in the Royal Box during one of the tournament’s most anticipated matches.

The Love Actually star, 64, was spotted with his head lowered and eyes closed during the men’s quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli on Wednesday. The moment was captured by BBC cameras and broadcast live, just minutes after Grant had been seen chatting amiably with Queen Camilla in the exclusive seating area on Centre Court.

The couple had earlier appeared cheerful-looking and laughing as they mingled with other guests and stood to greet the Queen at the All England Club, where Grant and his wife, Anna Eberstein, had previously appeared.

However, the actor was filmed wearing sunglasses and slouched in his seat during the match’s high heat, which sparked a flurry of online reactions.

BBC Sport later shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), joking: “It’s all got a bit too much for Hugh Grant,” along with laughing and sleeping emojis. The post quickly went viral and ignited a spirited debate among tennis fans.

Some users of social media criticized Grant for being disrespectful. One wrote, “COBOLLI, I believe Hugh Grant owes you a massive apology for being completely disrespectful in your tie-breaker situation.”

Another screamed, “Hugh Grant has slept through the first set tiebreak!” T**ts like him and some other “celebs” who receive exclusive tickets to #Wimbledon2025 are deserving of them! “!

Not everyone, however, took the situation so seriously. One joker said, “Hugh Grant asleep in the Royal Box is the best thing I’ve seen at #WIMBLEDON this year!!” There was humour in the brief nap. I adore this man!” Another remarked, “The best thing I’ve seen today is Hugh Grant flat out kipping at Wimbledon.”

The day saw numerous celebrities in attendance enjoying the sunshine. Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham made a style statement in a scarlet alice + olivia dress, while Emily Atack looked elegant in a black and white gown as she sipped a Pimm’s in the stands.

Before taking their seats, comedian Jack Whitehall and his fiance Roxy Horner were spotted posing with Whitehall’s parents in the Vodafone Lounge.

Other notable guests included former Prime Minister Sir John Major and influencer GK Barry, who wore a stylish black and white tweed outfit.

Although Grant has not commented on the incident, his mid-game sluggishness has undoubtedly become one of Wimbledon’s most talked-about moments this year.

Andrea McLean, a former Loose Women panelist, previously said she had rethought her life after a near-death experience, and that she now plans to relocate abroad.

Former Loose Women panelist Andrea McLean is said to be planning a new life abroad. The speculation comes just months on from her teasing that she would “seize the day” moving forward after having “nearly died” last year.

Andrea, 55, who was on the ITV show from 2007 to 2020, announced in February that she had been hospitalised due to severe pneumonia, acute kidney injury and sepsis after having flu-like symptoms in December. More recently, she told fans that she was “feeling really good” amid recovering.

One of her business ventures ended as a result of her recovery from the incident. The company, which was formerly known as This Girl Is On Fire, ended in February.

Andrea, who launched lifestyle and wellness brand This Girl Is On Fire after leaving Loose Women, is now said to be focusing on her writing career as she seeks a fresh start. The Sun has reported that she’s preparing to relocate to Spain.

The business never financially recovered from what a source told the outlet. Early this year, Andrea made the official decision to dissolve the company.

She added that she is currently getting ready for a “new life” abroad with her husband, Nick Feeney, who she married in 2017. Her two children from previous relationships are also included in Andrea’s family.

According to the source, she is “focused on what really matters,” citing family and friends, despite her health condition. She is “in a really good place, positive, loved up with Nick,” they said, “she’s making life work for her because her kids are all grown up.”

Andrea previously stated that she had to reevaluate her life as a result of her hospitalization. In an interview that was released in April, she said, “I knew I had to seize the day and concentrate on what I really want to do. There are rarely second chances in this life.”

She continued, “I’m on the verge of passing away.” At the time, Andrea continued, “That terrifying, horrible moment was a turning point, and I’m feeling really optimistic about where I’m going.”

The interview came after she shared the previous month that she had ended up in hospital after collapsing at home. She later said: “I didn’t realise how severe my illness was at the time. But the doctors had told my husband, Nick, that had I not got to hospital when I did, had we waited another 24 hours to call for help, I may not be here now.”

Andrea, who revealed that she was diagnosed with pneumonia and sepsis, said that she was in and out of hospital throughout January. It was later announced that she had been back weeks later after she “fainted” at home, with her telling fans at the time that she had got out of bed “too fast”.

More recently though, Andrea shared in March that she was “feeling really good” amid recovering from the experiences. She said: “It has been quite a long recovery process but I’ve slowed down my pace of life and I’m feeling really good.”

Currently available on Amazon, this Washing Powder Storage and Dispenser retails for £15.99 and has a capacity of up to 3 litres.

Boasting a transparent design, this laundry room organiser makes it easy for you to see what is stored inside and how much is left, ensuring convenient access and replenishment in no time. The clear plastic also allows for added features, like Stacey, if you feel like adding labels for easier and simpler organisation.

The wall-mounted container has a capacity of 3L. It is equipped with two compartments to store detergent and powders separately and different items at the same time, increasing the storage capacity and making your laundry routine that much faster.

This organiser, which can also be used as a cereal or rice storage container, features a wall-mounted design that lets you hang it on smooth walls or tiles, such as in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other places. This offers more space for other items and makes it easy to reach and ensures it’s kept close to the area you need it, like Stacey mounting hers above her washing machine.

What makes it even more ideal is the two small cups that come with the dispenser, allowing you to pour the desired amount of detergent or powder to be poured seamlessly before use, making it the ideal choice for washing powder that requires a set amount for every wash.

This wall-mounted dispenser retails for the wallet-friendly price of £15.99 and has received plenty of praise from shoppers. One 5-star reviewer states, “I adore this product a lot. It is ideal to have above the washing machine. Everything is kept tidy and neat. It’s definitely something I would highly recommend.

While another person compliments Stacey, “It’s ideal for my utility room.”

Actress Jennifer Lawrence hinted that her second child’s name may start with an ‘L’ by wearing gold necklaces with ‘C’ and ‘L’ pendants during a recent outing

Jennifer Lawrence has dropped a huge hint about the name of her second child over four months after welcoming the tot. The 34-year-old gave birth to her second child earlier this year with husband Cooke Maroney, but the pair have not yet confirmed their baby’s gender, name, or exact birth date.

The Hollywood actress appeared to reveal a clue about her second child’s name during a recent outing in New York where she enjoyed a lunch date with Dakota Johnson. The mum-of-two wore multiple gold necklaces, notably one featuring pendants with the letters ‘C’ after her son Cy, and ‘L,’ hinting that her second baby’s name might begin with an L.

Completing her look, the actress carried a sleek black Christian Dior bag and wore simple beige flats. Jennifer hasn’t shared much about her second child since giving birth, but she has shared honest confessions about motherhood and how her mental health took a toll.

Back in May, Jennifer opened up about the role she played of a mother battling psychosis in her new film Die, My Love, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The mum-of-two was speaking at a press conference to promote the film when she said she related with the character’s feeling of loneliness.

Jennifer gave birth to her first son Cy in 2022 and said she hadn’t long given birth when she was asked to be in the film. She said: “I mean, obviously, as a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do. It was just heartbreaking. When I first read the book, it was just such a devastating, powerful… Lynne (Ramsay) said it was dreamlike.

“I had just had my first (baby). And there’s not really anything like postpartum. It’s extremely isolating, which is so interesting when Lynn (Ramsay) moves this couple into Montana. She doesn’t have a community.

“She doesn’t have her people. But the truth is, extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolated, no matter where you are. You feel like an alien. And so it deeply moved me. I wanted to work with Lynn Ramsey since I saw Rat Catcher.”

Jennifer said that since having children of her own she has changed her outlook on her career. She has since described her own experience of motherhood as “brutal and incredible” and said that having children “changes everything”.

She said: “It changes your whole life. But it’s brutal and incredible. And so not only do they go into every decision of if I’m working, where I’m working, when I’m working. It taught me… I didn’t know that I could feel so much. My job has a lot to do with emotion. They’ve opened up the world to me. It’s almost like feeling like a blister or something, so sensitive.

“So they’ve changed my life, obviously, for the best, and they’ve changed me creatively. I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor.”

Jennifer first rose to fame in the 2010s when she starred in the X-Men and Hunger Games series. She has then gone on to be involved in iconic projects such as American Hustle, Joy and Don’t Look Up.

Peter Kay is still on the road with his Better Late Than Never Again and fans have been given an update on a show at the O2 Arena in London that is scheduled for later this month

More tickets have been released for Peter Kay’s stand-up tour, it’s been announced this week. The comedian is continuing his Better Late Than Never tour, with a number of shows still to come ahead of its conclusion next year.

Peter, 52, launched the tour in 2022 and it has since been named one of the most globally successful tours of last year. He’s still on the tour, rebranded as Better Late Than Never Again, which is scheduled to end in June next year.

Through the tour, he’s become the first artist to hold a monthly residency at the O2 in London. Peter previously described the opportunity to perform at the arena as an “absolute honour” and has another show there this month.

It’s now been announced that extra tickets for his upcoming show at the O2 on July 26 have been released “due to phenomenal demand”. The news was shared with fans this afternoon, including through his social media pages.

Announcing that tickets are on sale now, a post on an Instagram page for Peter read: “The record-breaking three-year residency continues. Astonishing 32nd show! Saturday 26th July – extra tickets due to phenomenal demand.”

Standard tickets for the gig are available through AXS from £41.50 at the time of writing. Premium Seating and resale tickets are available through the provider for the show too. Tickets are also available through other providers.

Peter launched his tour in Manchester three years ago. He’s set to return to the AO Arena in the city on July 25, the night before his upcoming gig in London. He’s then scheduled to take a break before resuming the tour in September.

The release of more tickets for his show at the O2 comes ahead of the comedian’s memoir Peter Kay’s Diary being published later this year. The book, which was announced just weeks ago, is currently scheduled to be released in October.

Ahead of its release in three months, it has been described as his “most personal and hilarious book yet”. The upcoming memoir is said to take readers on a “laugh-out-loud journey through his life, month by month”.

It’s thought that Peter will discuss it with radio host Sara Cox at the Lowry’s Lyric Theatre in Salford on September 14. Tickets for Peter Kay In Conversation with Sara Cox, which will have a matinee and an evening show, went on sale last month.

The venue apologised at the time over “issues” regarding booking tickets, with it telling fans that it was sorry for “any inconvenience caused”. It was later said to have “resolved” them and announced that the two events had sold out.

The Lowry had said: “Peter Kay in conversation with Sara Cox is now sold out! Thank you for your patience while we resolved the issues with our ticketing systems.”

Fans have been given a strict warning, but Liam and Noel Gallagher are making their way back to their hometown this weekend as Oasis make their comeback.

Oasis fans have been sent a warning from Heaton Park bosses ahead of the band’s mega homecoming shows this weekend. Liam and Noel Gallagher are returning to their beloved Manchester for five huge performances over the next fortnight.

They will play to around 80,000 fans every night at the sold-out gigs following their epic reunion in Cardiff last weekend. Manchester is already abuzz with Oasis fever as merchandise stands have popped up in the city. The band, which includes Bonehead, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Joey Waronker, took to the stage for the first time in 16 years last weekend, launching their tour in Cardiff. The Britpop icons played two sold-out gigs at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium to rapturous applause.

Follow along the Mirror’s live Oasis updates for Heaton Park here.

However, for those heading to the Manchester shows they have been issued a strong warning that wasn’t given to the Cardiff fans. The UK is bracing itself for a heatwave, and bosses are urging fans to be safe.

Please stay hydrated as a hot weather forecast is for both Friday and Saturday, Heaton Park officials have urged residents. You may also bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml. This must be a piece of collapsible plastic.

On the safety grounds, “Standard plastic, metal, etc. containers are not permitted. Seals on bottles will be removed. To refill your bottle on site, there is free water.

Wear sunscreen, bring a small bottle of 200ml or less of it in, and stay protected from the sun overall/wear a hat, as the legendary bucket hat will be appearing, so you’ll fit right in! Take good care of yourself and those around you.

Fans will be happy to know that the park’s drink prices are less than those at the Cardiff shows starting at 3 p.m. Fans in the Welsh capital were paying £8.20 for a pint, whereas Mancunians can expect to pay £6.50 instead.

Richard Ashcroft will perform at 7 p.m., while Oasis’ support acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft will take the stage at 6 p.m. At 8:15 p.m., the Gallagher brothers will leave together, and there will be a 10 p.m. curfew.

The Gallagher brothers and their band will play a number of shows in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin before traveling to North and South America, Asia, and Australia, in addition to their Manchester dates scheduled for July 11 and 12.

As Manchester prepares to welcome 1.3 million music tourists this summer, it is undoubtedly Oasis ready. The band’s band has already been adorned with hundreds of signs, murals, and the launch of MCR Live 25, a festival bar, and music-themed markets.

A plethora of guitar-themed artworks and exhibitions have also taken over the city’s streets, squares, shop windows and other venues. Manchester’s Central Library is hosting a week-long series of Oasis-themed activities.
