Although the couple is stronger than ever, Helen accused Chet of cheating on her back in 2023, which isn’t always easy. The couple reconciled shortly after Chet refuted the accusations.

Helen opened up on the split on Instagram when she was asked about her relationship in a Q&A. She said: “So this question gets asked a lot so I would only like to address this once. Chet and I are back together. We went through hell and back this summer over an allegation which didn’t turn out to be true. I jumped the gun and put a statement without even reading between the lines.”

She continued, “Chet never denied the allegation and later later removed his name.”

“It was a hasty decision on my part because the evidence I had was null and void, and it led me to accuse Chet of something he didn’t do,” I said in a statement. Why did I allow these trolls to stalk me and attempt to break our relationship? This is the last time I’ll speak on this subject, and Chet and I are working hard to get things back on track for the sake of our families and our families.

‘Naive’ Brentford add to concerns for new boss Andrews

In terms of first impressions, Keith Andrews’ debut as head coach was like saying your name or pouring red wine on your carpet.

Following Thomas Frank’s departure to Tottenham Hotspur in June, the former Wolves and Blackburn midfielder assumed control.

The 44-year-old Andrews, who was set-piece coach under the Frank regime, took a big step up.

The former Republic of Ireland international took the lead when Brentford wanted to appoint someone from within, just as they did when Frank took the place of Dean Smith in 2018.

In the fifth minute of his first Premier League game in charge, Brentford conceded the first of three goals to Nottingham Forest after being appointed their set-piece coach.

On the opening day of the Premier League, Chris Wood capitalized on slack defending to thump home Forest’s opening goal, which put them on their way to a comfortable 3-1 victory. Andrews couldn’t help but be in awe of this.

After a mistake by goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and captain Nathan Collins, the goalkeeper conceded it from a needless corner. Wood opened his account for the campaign with a three Brentford players encircling him from the final set-piece but neither of them dealt with either man or ball.

Despite Igor Thiago scoring a penalty for the Bees’ first defeat on the opening day of their Premier League campaign since their promotion in 2021, it set the tone for a lacklustre first-half display.

For the first time in League One history, Brentford conceded three goals on the opening day, with a 3-1 defeat at Chesterfield in 2004-05.

When speaking to BBC Match of the Day afterwards, Andrews was open about Brentford’s need to improve as fans were concerned about a season of struggle.

He claimed that while it was always going to be challenging, we made it even more difficult for ourselves. We were aware of both their advantages and the issues they would raise. Set pieces were always going to pose a threat.

Return to the fundamentals. Basics in the game can sometimes be offensive, but you must have an edge, exhibit the ugly side, and work as a team. We didn’t, in my opinion, do that.

I believe he will do a good job, he says.

Fans will be more concerned by the nature of this defeat, in which Brentford only created 0.46 xG from open play.

With Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson dictating the proceedings, the Bees were chasing shadows all the way through.

Additionally, it raises doubts about Andrews’ ability to lead the Premier League. He has never previously led a team, and his coaching career hasn’t been particularly successful.

In 2015-16, Milton Keynes Dons were relegated from the Championship, but he took on Karl Robinson’s assistant role. Andrews previously had top-flight experience at Sheffield United under Chris Wilder, who finished bottom from 2023 to 2024, and he also collaborated with Stephen Kenny during his disastrous tenure as Republic of Ireland manager.

After that, he relocated to Brentford, where Andrews was benefited by their affinity for succession planning.

Former Brentford defender Ben Mee told BBC 5 Live that “Keith Andrews was in and around the coaching, but his main focus was set-pieces.”

“I thought appointing Andrews was a point where the club would stay in tact.” He’s worked with a few coaches as an assistant, and I think he’ll do well.

It was the wise choice for the club, they said. There are some slightly different things Brentford like to do there.

Even the most experienced coaches at Brentford would have a difficult task in Andrews’ defense after a summer where much of their quality and experience has been sacrificed.

All players were sold, including first-choice keeper Mark Flekken, captain Christian Norgaard, and star forward Bryan Mbeumo. With the Newcastle target being excluded from the squad on Sunday, Striker Yoane Wissa appears to be leaving as well.

According to Andrews, “It’s a day-by-day one in terms of Wiss.” Nothing else has occurred as far as I am aware right now.

Bees must discover “familiarity and intensity.”

German forward Kevin Schade was unable to play in place of midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard due to his wife’s pregnancy, which further hindered Brentford.

Andrews’ initial XI was unexperienced, and the team eventually became known. This was the first time this happened in a Brentford Premier League game with three players under the age of 21.

The team’s average age in the Premier League was 24 years, 98 days, which was also the youngest.

Antoni Milambo, a 20-year-old attacking midfielder for Feyenoord, was one of their most expensive summer signings thus far, signing for £17 million.

The Dutchman had a poor debut, was ineffective, and was well controlled by Anderson, and he had a chance to score a penalty after handling a free-kick, but the video assistant referee saved it.

Schade replaced Milambo at half-time, while the Bees improved with the addition of 35-year-old midfielder Jordan Henderson.

In his 432nd top-flight appearance, the England international, who has since made a return to the Premier League after stints at Al-Ettaq in Saudi Arabia and Ajax, delivered much-needed aggression and reassuring presence.

On the basis of this evidence, Brentford won’t be able to escape a relegation fight by itself, though.

No team performs at its best on the opening weekend, according to former Scotland international Rachel Corsie, who spent time building that familiarity and intensity.

Although Brentford have some concessions, I did feel that they were primitive and needed to learn quickly.

Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais shares Oasis snap after enjoying concert with Peggy

Oasis took the stage in Dublin’s Croke Park, and lead singer Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais Gallagher was one of the enthusiastic crowds.

Anas Gallagher had a fantastic time watching her father perform live at one of Oasis’s enormously popular reunion tour dates. Noel Gallagher, 58, and his ex-wife Meg Mathews, 59, are the children of the 25-year-old model and photographer.

And she looked very proud of her old pops as she joined tens of thousands of other music lovers at Croke Park, Dublin, over the weekend. Singing along in the crowd, Anaïs belted out the classic Oasis track, Live Forever, and shared footage of herself via Instagram Stories.

As they performed on stage to the delight of Oasis fans, she then uploaded a photo of her father, who is 52 years old, with her uncle Liam Gallagher. The boys’ first performance at the renowned Irish venue on Saturday night marked their debut. Her cousin Lennon left Dublin for Ibiza with his girlfriend, and this is the result of this.

Noel looked on stage as he performed, and Anas eked out a heart-hand emoji over her photo. The family-friendly performance on Saturday was a result of Liam and Noel’s mother, Peggy, visiting Ireland to see the chart-topping band again. Even Liam declared to his mother during the performance of Stand By Me that “my mother is here tonight” and that he wanted to dedicate it to her.

The singer then dedicated Roll With It to the residents of Charlestown, Co Mayo, where his mother was born. He blew kisses as he mouthed, “I love you,” and he moved up to the seats where she was supposed to be sitting.

Peggy, 92, had previously discussed her desire to see Oasis Live’25 on tour but chose not to attend the already-exclusive Manchester shows that had already taken place. When her sons played in Dublin, Heading to Ireland, she could watch them play from the comfort of a box.

Peggy was questioned about her involvement in the Noel and Liam reunion in a June interview. She responded, “Yes, I was the instigator. But wasn’t it going to happen at some point, surely? Of course, that was their choice. Look, you can’t make them do things they don’t want to.

Following a years-long rift between the two, she admitted to feeling relieved to see her sons resume their work. It’s great, because “nobody wants their kids to divorce,” doesn’t it? She said she was nervous about the shows, but that she would be “glad when it’s all just over because it makes me get too stressed.”

In the weeks leading up to the live tour, Peggy has been catching up with Noel and Liam, and she was on holiday in South France with Liam and his partner Debbie earlier that year while Liam was resting vocally. Liam stated in a statement to the Sunday Times that Peggy and all of her sisters and brothers make up the majority of any positive energy that comes from me.

When brothers Liam and Noel confirmed they had buried the hatchet and would be touring for the first time since 2009, Oasis fans were shocked last year. The brothers had previously promised never to perform together again after spectacularly falling out live on stage.

However, Oasis Live’25 Tour has been a smash hit, with both critics and fans applauding the band’s performance. Fans have praised the Dublin shows, and Croke Park’s doors will open once more on Sunday night at 5 p.m. for a second round of hits.

Richard Ashcroft was scheduled to perform on the stage at 7 p.m., followed by Richard Ashcroft, at 6 p.m. The concert will begin at 8:15 p.m. on the dot and end at 10:15 p.m. Some Might Say, Supersonic, and Champagne Supernova are songs included on the set list.

Liam Gallagher’s son Lennon shuns Oasis Croke Park gigs as he parties with girlfriend

Lennon, the eldest son of Liam Gallagher, chose not to travel to Dublin to see his father and uncle Noel perform the first of two Oasis concerts in Ireland this weekend.

Despite his brother being present, Liam Gallagher’s son decided against attending Oasis in Manchester. Instead, Lennon, 25, and his girlfriend Izzy Richmond made the decision to attend a celebrity party in Ibiza.

Lennon has seen a number of shows since the Oasis tour first rolled out in Cardiff last month along with his 25-year-old brother Gene and his cousin Anas, the daughter of Noel and Meg Mathews. However, Gene and Anas were the only ones who had traveled over as the almighty band made its first appearance in 16 years.

Instead, model and musician Lennon headed over to Ibiza and attended a swanky party with Izzy, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Top Boy star Jasmine Jobson. Lennon and Izzy looked more loved-up than ever as they enjoyed the scorching weather on the famous party island. It comes after Noel’s daughter Anaïs shared an eight-word message to Oasis fans in Dublin.

The pair made their way to Ushuaia’s mega club, Boiler Room on the White Isle, where it hosted Las Cicadas Ibiza on the opening night of the event. Grammy-winning singer Nathy Peluso headlined the event, which the couple attended nightly.

Lennon struggled to hold his excitement before the tour began. We all awaited, he said, “You know, we all awaited.” It will be fantastic. He acknowledged that he was letting his father concentrate on the work and wasn’t too fussed about rehearsals. I’m just letting him continue with that, I suppose. When it begins, he said, “I’ll see it for the real thing.”

The musician, who also leads the band Villanelle, also made an apprehension about joining his father and uncle on stage in the future. He stated to the Associated Press, “I mean, I think it’d be really fun for me and my brother, my dad, and my uncle to be on stage one day.”

Although Lennon wasn’t there, Peggy, his gran, saw her two sons perform together for the first time on the tour, and it was a special night. Liam could be heard saying, “This one I want to dedicate to my mum, my mum is here tonight,” as the band performed Stand By Me. Croke Park’s fans reacted with a lot of cheers.

Additionally, Liam dedicated Roll With It to the residents of Charlestown, Co Mayo, where his mother was born. He also turned to the upper tiers where she was supposed to be seated during the middle of the song and kissed her as he mouthed, “I love you.”

Peggy, 92, who still resides in Noel and Liam’s Burnage home where they were both born, had planned to watch their boys in a VIP box in her home country while avoiding the all-standing shows in Manchester.

Peggy was questioned about her involvement in the Noel and Liam reunion in a June interview. She responded, “Yes, I was the instigator. But wasn’t it going to happen at some point, surely? Of course, that was their choice. Look, you can’t make them do things they don’t want to.

St Helens thrash Huddersfield to take third spot

SW Pix
  • 52 Comments

Betfred Super League

St Helens (24) 52

Tries: Percival (2), Feldt (2), Sailor (2), Dagnall, Lomax, Knowles, Goals: Feldt 8

Huddersfield (4) 4

Tristan Sailor delivered a virtuoso performance, scoring two tries and setting up two more, as St Helens dismantled Huddersfield Giants to move up to third in the Super League table.

A superb individual showing from the 27-year-old Australian, who now has 15 Super League tries this season, added glitter to an eighth Saints win in nine outings.

It was a victory to serve notice that Paul Wellens’ improving side will prove a significant barrier in this sort of form whoever they face in the play-offs.

Saints are now just two points behind second-placed Wigan with five games left in the regular season and, in bright sunshine at the Totally Wicked Stadium, the result was never in doubt.

They were on the board early after a Sailor burst fed Daryl Clark, who in turn put in Mark Percival after nine minutes.

But it was a yellow card for Giants centre Taane Milne in the first half which opened the floodgates.

Milne was penalised for a shove and some verbals, and while he stewed on his indiscipline on the bench, Saints ran riot, extending their lead from 6-0 to 24-0 with tries from Kyle Feldt, Sailor – who picked off a high ball brilliantly – and Owen Dagnall.

Huddersfield were troubled by Sailor’s lightning pace all afternoon and, while Joe Greenwood burst through Jonny Lomax to get the Giants on the board seven minutes before the break, Saints returned after it in irrepressible form.

Sailor assisted Lomax in the opening minute of the second period, Morgan Knowles spun over the line from close range and Percival added a second on 55 minutes as Saints went 42-4 up.

After Feldt went over, Sailor saved the best until last, securing his second and Saints’ ninth try, with a blistering 60-metre charge, rounding full-back George Flanagan to go down under the posts.

Feldt kicked the extras to make it a near-flawless eight out of nine.

Further good news for Saints was a 30-minute appearance off the bench for Jack Welsby, as well as the return of long-term casualties Joe Batchelor and James Bell from injury.

Welsby suffered a serious knee injury at the beginning of June, undergoing surgery which medics expected to keep him out of action for 16 weeks, threatening his entire season and probably his participation in the Ashes against Australia this autumn.

St Helens head coach Paul Wellens told BBC Radio Merseyside:

“We scored a few nice tries but probably left a few points out there as well, not nailing a couple of breaks which in bigger games moving forward [we have to].

“We’ve got to nail that last pass because when you get to play-off time your are not going to get 15 opportunities a game, you might get two or three and that’s the reason we’ve got to improve.

“From two to eight [in the table] it is quite congested, so you are looking up, your looking back and to the sides. There are a lot of variables and it makes for a really exciting end to the season.

“I’m just delighted we have put ourselves back in a strong position.”

Huddersfield Giants head coach Luke Robinson told BBC Radio Leeds:

“They are one of the most physical packs and a very difficult proposition to go against. We didn’t win the physical battle, both with the ball and without it.”

On Taane Milne’s yellow card: “There were a lot of slowing down in the ruck and he was getting frustrated, but from a coach’s point of view he has hurt us more than the referee not giving the decision. I understood his frustration, but you can’t do it.

St Helens: Sailor, Feldt, Robertson, Percival, Dagnall, Lomax, Mbye, Walmsley, Clark, Lees, Batchelor, Whitley, Knowles

Interchanges: Welsby, Bell, Paasi, Delaney

Huddersfield: Flanagan, Halsall, Bibby, Milne, Gagai, Rush, Frawley, Rogers, Woolford, Powell, Greenwood, Rushton, Cudjoe

Interchanges: Golding, English, King, Wilson

Sin bin: Milne (18 mins)

Hong Kong pro-democracy activists granted asylum in Australia and Britain

More than four years after facing criminal charges related to the 2019 anti-government protests, a pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong and a former parliamentarian who were wanted by the city’s Chinese authorities were granted asylum in Australia and the UK.

Ted Hui, a former lawmaker accused of playing a role in the massive demonstrations, and Tony Chung, an activist who was imprisoned under Hong Kong’s sweeping national security law, both announced over the weekend that they have received asylum in Australia and Britain, respectively, where they currently reside.

Difficulty of activists are attempting to flee Hong Kong authorities. Since Beijing enacted a national security law that essentially criminalizes dissent in the China-ruled city in 2020, civil liberties have greatly decreased.

Penalties for espionage and sabotage, as well as 14 years in prison, can range up to life in prison.

Hui, who fled Hong Kong in December 2020, has been a part of a group of foreign activists who have received rewards totaling up to $1127,800 from the police. The former lawmaker is practicing law in Adelaide right now.

The outspoken pro-democracy lawmaker is known for obstructing a legislative session by placing a rotten plant inside the chamber to halt a debate over a bill that would make insulting the Chinese national anthem illegal. He was subsequently fined 52, 000 Hong Kong dollars ($6, 600) for the act.

He announced on Saturday that protection visas have been granted to him and his family on Facebook.

The Australian government, both present and former, deserves my sincere thanks, Hui wrote. My family will never take for granted the values of freedom, justice, and compassion that this decision embodies.

He expressed regret for the forced exile he was in. I can’t help but feel depressed when people around me say “congratulations” to me despite my sincere gratitude. How do you congratulate a political refugee who has “missed his hometown”? he wrote.

I would never have considered moving to a foreign country if it weren’t for political persecution. Exiles have no home, but immigrants can always go back to their hometowns to see their relatives at any time.

Chung, who emigrated to the United Kingdom, supported the independence of Hong Kong, and in 2020 he received a sentence for secession and money laundering. He was given a supervision order, which included a trip to Japan and a trip to the United Kingdom as well.

He expressed his excitement over receiving a five-year residency permit and refugee status in a post on the social media platform Threads on Sunday. He claimed that despite his difficulties over the past few years, including persistent mental health issues, he continues to be active.

The activists’ statuses were not immediately criticized by the British and Australian authorities.

Hong Kong’s government issued a statement on Saturday condemning “the harboring of criminals in any form by any country,” but it did not comment directly on the allegations.
