Production has been a hit with the upcoming four-part series Dear England, which adaptation of James Graham’s stage play, which centers on Gareth Southgate’s tenure as England manager.

A new drama bringing to life Gareth Southgate’s transformation of the England football team has been hit by disaster with over £100,000 of kit stolen.

The raid has caused a “massive headache” for BBC production staff as Dear England suffered a big set-back. The up-coming four-parter is an adaptation of James Graham’s hugely popular stage show, which charts the Three Lions rise under the stewardship of Southgate.

The production was centered on the cultural shift in the national team under the direction of manager, according to scriptwriter James, who wrote the popular television series Sherwood. After Southgate won the team to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, the English public still had a love affair with the team, which was put to the test in 2021.

However, it is obvious that the thieves responsible for the raid did not enjoy the national team. Police are conducting an investigation. A gang “got on to the Dear England set in East London and grabbed a trolley full of priceless cameras and lenses,” a source told The Sun. It was a genuine smash and grab,” she said.

The production was greatly hampered by the “kit,” which was worth more than £100k, being stolen in a matter of minutes. Thankfully, neither the cast nor the crew were harmed. No one wants this to happen again, and security has become even tighter. Although they are assisting the police with their inquiries, it is likely that the kit will never be used.

The 53-year-old Three Lions manager has led England to eight successive European Championship titles. However, after England lost to Spain in Euro 2024, he fell on his sword last summer. In a moving statement, Southgate confirmed the news.

It read: “As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all. But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday’s final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager.

In 2011, I left the FA with the intention of promoting English football. I have been supported by some amazing people, including my eight years as England men’s manager, for whom I give my sincere gratitude. Steve Holland was the best companion I could have had. He has been incredibly successful and one of the most gifted coaches of his generation.

I have participated in 102 games as the leader of a sizable group of players. They have each been a credit to their country in many ways by wearing the three lions proudly on their shirts.

“The squad we traveled to Germany has a lot of promising young talent, and we can all hope to win the trophy.” I’m so proud of them, and I hope the FA and St. George’s Park players who work every day to improve English football and who appreciate the power that football has to spur positive change, will continue to support them.

The backroom staff deserves special thanks for their tireless support for the players and I over the past eight years. I am so grateful to them for making the brilliant “team behind the team,” and for their hard work and commitment, which they continue to inspire me every day.

Camila Cabello was unspotted when the band’s members, Ally Brooke, Normani, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui, reunited on stage during a Jonas Brothers concert.

Popular 2010’s girl group Fifth Harmony have delighted fans by reuniting and reforming during a Jonas Brothers concert after eight long years.

Four out of five of the original girl group members, Ally Brooke, Normani, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, all shocked concert-goers when they reformed on stage during the boyband’s sold-out concert in Dallas, Texas, on Sunday night.

The four girls “came out of behind the smoke” and belted out their chart-topping hit Worth It before moving on to their most well-known track, Work From Home, as the audience shook their heads in shock and amazement.

In front of tens of thousands of Jonas Brothers fans, Fifth Harmony demonstrated that they still had their distinctive vocal prowess.

Camila Cabello was unrecognizable after beginning her successful solo career, despite the band’s four members showing up on stage. Camila left the girl group in 2016 to pursue her passion for songwriting, two years before Fifth Harmony took an eight-year break.

She admitted at the time that she felt “creatively unfulfilled” and that the group’s direction was in conflict with her personal goals.

Later, the singer revealed that she had started writing her own songs while touring and that she wanted to sing them herself rather than compete for attention in the five-group band.

Camila has since maintained a positive relationship with her former bandmates, expressing that she has no animosity for them despite initial rumors of drama and conflict between the five girls.

The now-four-member group is formally reuniting after two years of rumors, an announcement that comes after their hits Work From Home and All in My Head, which were trending on TikTok.

Prior to their reactivation, Fifth Harmony X users posted “#FifthHarmonyFollowSpree” to reactivate their accounts. Additionally, Jane makes an allusion to the statement, “The impossible is possible.” Thank you in full today. The group’s website has been updated to reflect “coming soon” as well.

Fifth Harmony was first formed in 2012 during the second season of The X Factor USA and they quickly shot to fame with their amazing vocals and catchy pop tracks.

With the chart-topping single Work From Home, their debut album, Reflection, which was released in 2015, included hits like Worth It and Sledgehammer, while 2016’s 7/27 cemented their position in pop history.

Following Camila’s exit in 2016, the quartet continued to release one final, self-titled album before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2018.

The emotional video for Don’t Say You Love Me was dropped as a way to say goodbye, and it ended with each cast member walking through separate, secret doors, giving off a nudge that their story might not end forever.

Bradley Dack’s marriage to Olivia Attwood has heightened his feelings for the actress after she was seen this weekend without her wedding rings.

Olivia Attwood’s husband, Bradley Dack, has made a bombshell statement over the state of their marriage. In recent days, fans of the former Love Island star have been concerned about her marriage.

It comes after Olivia, 34, was seen with her close friend Pete Wicks during a work trip to Ibiza, when the reality stars were seen looking close with one another. However, sources have insisted that the pair are merely close friends and that they were merely enjoying their time abroad.

Reports claimed that Olivia was ‘in the doghouse’ with Bradley after the pictures of herself and Pete partying at Ocean Beach and later on a yacht emerged. Pete was seen with his arm around Olivia, with Bradley allegedly being left “livid” after his Gillingham FC teammates shared the snaps in a WhatsApp group.

Olivia recently admitted to having a “ferral summer” before she returned to the UK to present her KISS radio programme with former The Only Way Is Essex star Pete. Now, Bradley has been seen after the pictures emerged, and it’s clear he’s made a strong statement on the future of their marriage.

Bradley was still sporting his golden wedding band as he took off with his teammates to meet fans, which was visible to everyone in the bravery he displayed. Olivia was seen arriving at her place of employment on Sunday without her wedding band, though.

However, Olivia frequently renounces her ring, despite a source close to her saying that she frequently does so. On this occasion, Olivia had a valid reason: she cleaned it after applying sun cream while enjoying her “ferral” time in Ibiza.

Olivia has also spoken out on the backlash which she has found herself at the centre of. One fan said on her Instagram page: “I’m afraid for your marriage.” But Olivia, known for not holding back instantly responded: “Don’t be. Worry about your own.”

However, she acknowledged her marriage three weeks prior to the drama and admitted she had been her “bad girlfriend” to Bradley. She claimed to be “could be on Bad Wives” while promoting her new show, Bad Boyfriends.

I had the upper hand over our relationship for ages. She stated to the press, “He’s coming for my throne, and I carried him on my back for a long time. He was always out in the beginning and was playing football. And now he needs to assist me more because I’m the one who is filming seven days per week. Because I work, I miss my football games. I’m evil.

“He says, ‘You save all your nice personality for work and then you come in like, ‘Where’s my dinner?'” Meanwhile, she has also said that their marriage is far from perfect. Speaking to the Mirror, Olivia said: Brad and I do have a lovely relationship. But also, I’m not perfect, he’s not perfect, it’s not the perfect relationship. But it’s a good relationship.

We all learn that, to put it mildly. There is no such thing as perfect. You’ll find someone with a new set of issues if you leave someone because of a particular set of issues.

Mark Labbett, better known as The Beast, has previously stormed off the stage and struck a wall after being defeated by a group of contestants on The Chase.

Darragh Ennis has dubbed The Chase star Mark Labbett “the worst loser ever” after the 60-year-old “walked off” set when he failed to win a show. Darragh, 44, joined the cast of The Chase in 2020.

As one of the formidable Chasers, he appears alongside Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, Anne Hegerty, and Shaun Wallace. A team of four contestants compete against the Chasers to win a cash prize in the finale of the competition.

Since the show’s inception in 2009, 533 teams have successfully beat the Chasers and walked away with the money. On the Podcast Dempsey’s Dozen, host Ian Dempsey recalled a recent episode where Mark stormed off after losing in the dying seconds.

It prompted Darragh to reveal that The Beast hates” to lose. He explained: “We do take it seriously. Mark is, and he would not mind me saying this, the worst loser in the world.

He claims that he “does it,” and that is not an act. He might make a little comedic fun of it, but he is genuinely angry, sore-lost, kicks off, and then recovers five minutes later.

He dislikes losing, he says. When we’re doing Beat the Chasers, we have to tell him to stop buzzing in because he wants to get in there if he hasn’t responded to a question in a while.

Mark has a reputation for his fiery on-set antics throughout his time on the show. After host Bradley Walsh addressed a number of errors that resulted in two contestants receiving £30, 000, he reportedly punched a wall as he stormed off set in 2020.

After watching the dramatic exit, Bradley mused, “Oops, I think he’s upset,” before congratulating the winners.

The host continued, “Wow, he is furious,” when Mark returned to speak with him after he had not reappeared. For those of you who believe it to be a part of the show, it is not. He has actually fled and stormed off.

Two years later, Mark once more stormed off the set, this time thanks to a team that won a £21,000 jackpot. Bradley, 65, expressed regret on behalf of the Chaser and said it was inappropriate to handle defeat.

I apologize to all the children who were watching, Bradley said. You shouldn’t accept defeat in that way. You ought to take it humbly and magnanimously.

Mark subsequently apologised for the outburst in a social media post. Writing on X, then Twitter, he said: “Apologies to those of you disappointed with my behaviour tonight. My mental health was shot before that game, it was storm off or break down in tears. A remorseless diet of quality opponents didn’t help #thechase.”

Olivia Attwood, the star of Loose Women, has admitted that she arrives at work with hungover and is shocked when she examines video that has been made available to the public.

Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood is busier than ever – presenting hit TV shows, making documentaries and hosting a KISS radio show every weekend. But the TV star, 34, still loves to fit in the occasional big night out, telling Mirror she’s even been known to take to the airwaves with a sore head on a Sunday afternoon.

“I am very professional and I don’t go to work hungover, apart from the radio – and I need to stop doing that,” she reveals. “Even though the radio is recorded live, there’s this weird feeling that you’re not being watched. At the time the listeners are not watching, but then they put the clips out. I’m thinking, ‘Oh, my God!’”

She continues, “When I go out, I don’t want it to end.” My friends will be saying, “We should go, please.” at 6am in Soho. I’m like, ‘ No, one more! ‘ They say, “There is nowhere to go,” and they are right.

As well as co-hosting The Sunday Roast on KISS with Pete Wicks, Olivia made her presenting debut on This Morning this summer, and a new series of Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends is about to return to our screens.

In the show, a group of unsuspecting men are brought to a luxury retreat and put through a series of challenges by their girlfriends – with a little help from Olivia. Featuring a surprise appearance from former Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts, it seems we can expect this series to reach explosive new heights.

Olivia chuckles, “They are a rowdy bunch.” Sometimes I had to exert control over them on the ground. All these people have relationship histories, which makes them stand out as being full of tension.

And there’s a twist this time. She claims that in this series, we “give the girlfriends a little bit of light.” Why are you with them if I asked them to do a soul scavenging and said, “You brought this guy here and they don’t seem to have any redeemable qualities.

She claims that there are actually a number of people and stories. You’ll have a sister or friend who has gone through it, or you’ll relate to someone in that show. It’s “the closest you’re going to get to old-school reality,” the author says. It’s campaign and silly, and there’s drama and heart. You travel somewhere with each episode.

Nothing is also prohibited for the cameras. We make the most of raw moments. We take care of someone if they need a five-minute break. You can observe what might happen in some situations, but the majority of what happens happens is seen.

Olivia’s romantic relationship with footballer husband Bradley Dack, 31, is a little less dramatic than that of the series. Fans of her ITVBe series Olivia Marries Her Match followed the couple’s stunning wedding in 2023.

She’s the first to acknowledge that married life isn’t always so blissful, despite the dreamy wedding at London’s swanky Bulgari Hotel.

“Brad and I do have a lovely relationship, but he and I are not perfect, too. Although it’s not a perfect relationship, it’s still a good one. There is no such thing as perfect, which is the lesson we all have.

The couple’s careers have changed as a result of her being one of the hardest-working women in television. He used to play football and was always out, and now I’m the one who filmes seven days a week, and he has a lot of help from him. Because I work, I miss his football games. He replies, “You save all your nice personality for work and then you come in and say, “Where’s my dinner?”

Olivia claims that Brad accepts her for who she is. “I’m still going to a roo in Ibiza and don a bikini,” I said. She claims that’s who I am. He never attempts to depress me. When a guy has done that in a relationship, it’s very liberating when they embrace you for who you really are.

Olivia left the Love Island villa almost ten years ago, finishing third behind Chris Hughes. You get a crash course on dealing with being in the public eye when you leave, she says, but you can’t actually recall the experiences of life before.

Olivia maintains a refreshingly grounded mindset despite her success. She says, “I still don’t consider myself to be famous.” “Mariah Carey is well-known. Although I may be familiar to you if you live in the UK, my life is fairly normal.

She continues to grow in no time with her career on the up. She exclaims, “I’ve been working since I left that villa.” They can’t eliminate me, they say.

On September 14, Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends airs again on ITVX.

After being rumored to be “on the rocks” after a trip to Ibiza, Olivia Attwood has admitted to having an affair with Bradley Dack, who she claims neither of them are “perfect.”

Olivia Attwood says she’s “not perfect” when it comes to her marriage with Bradley Dack, a mid reports that the couple have been “on the rocks” following her recent holiday to Ibiza, where she was pictured close to pal Pete Wicks.

“Brad and I do have a lovely relationship. But also, I’m not perfect, he’s not perfect, it’s not the perfect relationship. But it’s a good relationship,” the 34-year-old tells Mirror. “That’s the thing that we all learn. There is no such thing as perfect. If you leave someone because of a certain set of issues, you’ll find someone with a new set of issues.”

Talking ahead of the second season of her new ITV show, Bad Boyfriends, being released, former Love Island star Olivia says her catapulting career has caused a shift in dynamic between her and husband of two years Bradley. “For ages I had the crown, I was carrying us on my back for a long time.

He is enthroning me, he said. He was always out in the beginning and was playing football. And now he needs to assist me more because I’m the one who is filming seven days per week. Because I work, I miss my football games. I’m evil.

“He says, ‘You save all your nice personality for work and then you come in like, where’s my dinner’,” said Olivia, who now is a regular on daytime shows such as Loose Women and This Morning.

Fans began talking about the bikini-clad Olivia’s photos of her relaxing on a boat in Ibiza last week because they were concerned about what her husband would think of the warm display. Bradley’s Gillingham FC teammates reportedly teased him in the dressing room by images of his wife cuddling the reality star, which reportedly made him feel “livid.”

Olivia, who hosted her Kiss radio show live from Ibiza with Pete last week, claims she partys a lot less these days, but she wouldn’t give up painting the town red because she is married. “I’m still going to a roo in Ibiza and don a bikini,” I said. I am who I am.

When a woman is first conceived, many men are conned, and they later decide, “Of course, I don’t want her to go out in a bikini.” But I’m like, “This is who I am.” He never tries to stifle my feelings. There have been many relationships where that was true. It’s very liberating, says Olivia when you enter one where someone likes you and accepts you for who you really are.

The contestants Olivia is looking after on the new season of her dating show Bad Boyfriends aren’t feeling as settled as she is, who is scheduled to return to the small screen this month with a brand-new series of her dating show.

A group of unsuspecting men are taken by their girlfriends to a luxurious retreat and dealt with a number of difficulties in the show.

They are “a rowdy bunch,” they say. Sometimes, “laughs Olivia,” I had to control them on the floor. All these people have relationship histories, so they have three or four days to settle into the show before the tension builds up. This is what makes this show special. They are gaining a lot of tension. That history surrounds them all. That is present right away.

On September 14, Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends airs again on ITVX.
