The 33-year-old star of Strictly Come Dancing, The Masked Singer and Dancing On Ice wore a stunning black number to the star-studded event. Actor Layton Williams wore a fetching trousers and jacket combination, and comic Joe Lycett donned an Elizabethan ruff. Baby Reindeer stars Jessica Gunning and Richard Gadd posed together, while presenters Davina McCall, Stacey Solomon and Alex Scott wore classy dresses. Also on the red carpet were singer Ella Eyre, actor David Tennant with wife Georgia and comics Sanjeev Bhaskar and Meera Syal. And there were two for the price of one when Emily Atack showed up – complete with baby bump. LAYTON WILLIAMS BY MARK JEFFERIES Showbiz Editor BY KEITH PERRY Strictly won Dancing STRICTLY Come Dancing picked up the perfect birthday present as the BBC won big at last night’s BAFTAs. In its 20th year, the show scooped the Entertainment Programme award. Co-host Tess Daly exclaimed: “We are properly and genuinely overwhelmed. Thanks for making it worth putting on the Spanx on the hottest day of the year. “It is Strictly’s 20th anniversary this year so this is the greatest present. “This award is for our entire Strictly team. Thank you to the celebrities for taking part and being so brave.” And Tess, 55, added: “We may be tapping some of you in the room up later.” Her Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman, 52, said: “We have to mention our e x t r a o r d i n a r y judges as well, the backbone of the show, and our amazing professional dancers.” Happy Valley s t a r S a r a h Lancashire was tearful as she took the Leading Actress prize. Sarah, 59, who played Sgt Catherine Cawood said: “Thank you to the BBC for giving this very British drama a very British home.” The Yorkshire-based series also took the Memorable Moment gong – the only one voted for by the public – OPPORTUNITIES TV veteran Lorraine THE BEEB AT AWARDS CEREMONY Show waltzes off with gong Her Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman, 52, said: “We have COMEDY Mawaan Rizwan DancingOVERWHELMED Tess and Claudia for the kitchen showdown scene involving Catherine and Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton).

Its drama The Sixth Commandment won the Limited Drama award and Timothy Spall the Leading Actor prize for playing teacher Peter Farquhar, killed by a former student. Timothy, 67, said: “This was about terrible crimes but it was also about love.” Presenter Lorraine Kelly received an award to mark 40 years in TV. Actress Helen Mirren paid tribute in a video, saying: “It never feels like an interview. It always felt like a chat with an old mate.” Lorraine, 64, urged TV chiefs: “Don’t pull up the ladder, please make it possible for working class kids like me.” B a r o n e s s F l o e l l a Benjamin, 74, was given the BAFTA Fellowship and, in a message, the Prince of Wales said: “In a career spanning more than five decades, she has touched the lives of millions.” The ex-Play School host told of the challenges she has faced.

DM1ST 4 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 13.05.2024 Conservatives can’t stop banging on about Labour Angela’s home claims... but this lot won’t even say if they paid tax on the millions in profit on sales of property we helped them buy DAVID TREDINNICK PROPERTY IN LONDON PROFIT £2M* ELEANOR LAING LONDON APARTMENT PROFIT £0.6M SHAILESH VARA LONDON TOWNHOUSE PROFIT £1.6M MARIA MILLER S W LONDON HOUSE PROFIT £1.2M taxpayer-funded London apartments. In 2009 she revealed she had not paid capital gains tax when she reportedly made a more than £1m profit selling the first two, adjacent apartments which she had designated her second home. Ms Laing said at the time her solicitors told her “it would be wrong to pay capital gains tax on my London flat” because “under HMRC rules, the flat was my principal private residence”. She used the proceeds from the sale of the flats to buy another mortgage free in the same block for £900,000. We can reveal Ms Laing made a £575,000 profit when she sold it for £1.5m in 2016. The previous year she was on the electoral roll at both the apartment and a cottage she owns in Theydon second home but between 2004 and 2009 he claimed £106,745 in mortgage interest payments. When Mr Tredinnick sold it in 2009, he was on the electoral register at t h a t house as well as a second one in Billingshurst, West Sussex, which he still jointly owns. After he quit as an MP in 2019, we asked if he had paid capital gains tax on the London home and his spokesman told us that it was a “private matter”. The Mirror contacted him several times through his accountants in recent days but got no response. Ms Laing, the MP for Epping Forest and Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, made around £1.6m selling three homes, while they were actually sitting in Parliament.” Under parliamentary rules MPs are entitled to keep the money they made flogging second homes, Former Bosworth MP Mr Tredinnick, 69, sold his property in London for £2.8m, when he was still in the Commons, making an estimated profit of £2m. He bought it in 1988, a year after he was elected. It is not known when he designated the property as his requests to comment on our investigation into whether David Tredinnick, Eleanor Laing, Shailesh Vara and Maria Miller paid capital gains tax on second homes they sold. Labour’s Jess Phillips said: “The sheer hypocrisy is off the scale. “It beggars belief for the Tories to demand a witch-hunt over a decade-old ex-council house sale. “Yet they’re refusing to say if several of their own MPs paid tax on the profits from selling taxpayer-funded House about this for Tory hypocrisy EXCLUSIVE BY NICK SOMMERLAD Investigations Editor taxpayer-funded London apartments. reportedly made a more second home but between 2004 and 2009 he claimed £106,745 in mortgage When Mr Tredinnick sold it in 2009, he was on for Tory hypocrisy THE NOISY PARTY £5m Combined house sales profits from four Tories staying quiet on tax The hypocrisy is off the scale. They refuse to say if their own MPs paid tax on profits JESS PHILLIPS LABOUR MP, RIGHT, ON TORY DOUBLE STANDARDS TORIES making a lot of noise about Angela Rayner and capital gains tax are less vocal when it comes to the profits their own MPs have made from selling second homes. Four who have raked in £5.4million between them from flogging houses funded by the public have repeatedly declined to reveal if they paid any tax on the profits they made. The Tories were accused of hypocrisy after pushing for police to probe deputy Labour leader Ms Rayner over a £48,000 profit she made selling a former council house before she became an MP and an alleged capital gains tax bill of a mere £1,500. The party did not respond to Mirror investigates *estimated


mirror.co.uk MONDAY 13.05.2024 DAILY MIRROR 5 DM1ST BY NICK SOMMERLAD Angela: ‘It’s just a Tory smear’ ANGELA Rayner says accusations of wrongdoing over her house are manufactured smears. And she has said she will stand down as deputy Labour leader if she is found to have broken the law. In an unauthorised biography by ex-Tory deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft, neighbours claimed she had been living at her husband’s house while remaining registered on the electoral roll at her house. Tory MPs claim it was a second home and have asked her to explain why she did not pay capital gains tax of up to £1,500 on the sale in 2015. She had bought the former council house in Stockport, Gtr Manchester, eight years earlier under right-to-buy rules with a 25% discount. Ms Rayner said on BBC Newsnight: “I’ve been very clear there’s no rules broken. They [the Tories] tried to manufacture a police investigation … I got tax advice which says there was no capital gains tax. It’s a non-story manufactured to try and smear me.” Critics have also demanded she be investigated for breaking electoral law claiming she provided false information on where she was living. Police originally decided not to investigate but last month agreed to a review after pressure from the Conservatives. Detectives have made contact to arrange a meeting date. Ms Rayner insists the house was her home and she “lived there, paid the bills there and was registered to vote there”. IS SUDDENLY NOT SO LOUD BOOK Claims about Angela Bois in her Essex constituency. The Mirror has contacted Ms Laing four times in recent weeks to ask if she paid any capital gains tax but got no response. North West Cambridgeshire MP Mr Vara made £1.6m profit selling the townhouse taxpayers helped him buy in Pimlico, Central London. He paid £1.2m for the home and sold it for £2.8m. We also contacted Mr Vara four times but got no answer. Basingstoke MP and former Culture Secretary Ms Miller made a £1.2m gross profit selling her home in Wimbledon, South London, which and her husband bought for £234,000 in 1995. She designated it her second home when she was elected in 2005. The 55-year-old nominated for her main home a rented property in her constituency where she said she spent most of her time, until she became a minister in 2010. In 2014 Ms Miller sold the Wimbledon home for £1.47m and now claims for hotels when in the capital. Asked whether she paid any capital gains tax on the £1.2m profit, she said: “As you know, there is a longstanding practice for MPs to deal with questions about their personal tax affairs in the way I did 10 years ago, when this issue was raised. “I am reluctant to depart from this practice, but I can confirm I took tax advice at the time and the matter was dealt with in my tax return in the relevant year. This answers the central basis of your question. I do not propose to provide any further details of my tax affairs.” Our investigations comes 15 years after the expenses scandal in which MPs were found to have been claiming for a whole range of items, including a duck house for a moat. Ms Rayner has been hounded for weeks over the sale of her home and the possible capital gains tax bill. The party’s deputy chairman James Daly successfully pressured Greater Manchester Police to open an investigation into the matter. Last month he called on Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to “show some leadership and open a full, transparent and independent investigation into the Rayner scandal”. He added that Ms Rayner should “stop dismissing and distracting and come clean now”. Protesters who followed Ms Rayner on a visit to Yorkshire with a “Tax Dodger” banner were later revealed to be local Tory councillors. Rishi Sunak told Mr Starmer at PMQs he should spend “a bit more time reading the deputy leader’s tax advice”. The PM later said: “When it comes to me or my affairs, people are very happy to ask lots of questions, including Angela Rayner herself... I think there are very clear questions for her to answer about this.” When Oliver Dowden faced Ms Rayner in the House of Commons last month, for the fifth time in a year, he joked: “Any more of these and she will be claiming it as her principal residence.” [email protected] @NickSommerlad VOICE OF THE MIRROR: PAGE 10 vote there”. 15 years after the expenses scandal in which MPs were found to have been claiming for a whole range of items, including a duck Ms Rayner has been hounded for weeks over the sale of her home and the on a visit to Yorkshire with a “Tax Dodger” banner were later revealed to be local Tory councillors.

The Alzheimer’s Society warns the figure has already hit £42bn, with families covering 63% of the total expenditure. It also says spending on diagnosis makes up less than 1.4% of the dementia healthcare costs. Line of Duty star Vicky McClure, an Alzheimer’s Society ambassador, said: “It has become the UK’s forgotten crisis despite dementia being the UK’s biggest killer. HEARTBREAKING “[After many years of campaigning] it breaks my heart that we’re stuck in the same place with hundreds of thousands of people still undiagnosed.” The Department of Health said: “Timely diagnosis of dementia is vital, which is why we’re working to identify and treat more people and provide potential new treatments as they become available. “We’re also doubling funding for dementia research to £160million a year by the end of 2024/25.” Missing hiker found dead in Lakes search A HIKER has been found dead after going missing in the Lake District.

Geoff Holt, 58, sets sail from London today and expects to take a month to cover the distance of just under 1,600 miles. He said: “I’m excited but nervous. It’s a huge adventure to undertake. I just want to get on with it now. “I’ll hopefully inspire others to think, ‘I fancy a go at that myself ’.” Wheelchair user Geoff, of Fareham, Hants, was paralysed in a swimming accident in 1984. In 2009, he sailed across the Atlantic unassisted. He will call at 17 accessible ports to raise funds for his charity Wetwheels Foundation, which takes disabled people to sea in special motor boats. BY AISLING GRACE PIONEER Richard Slayman Recipient of a pig kidney dies aged 62 THE first recipient of a genetically modified pig kidney transplant has died nearly two months after he underwent the procedure. Richard Slayman, 62, had the transplant in March in the US. Surgeons said they believed the kidney would last for at least two years. The transplant team at Massachusetts General Hospital said it was deeply saddened. It said there was no indication he died as a result of the transplant. He was the first living person to have the operation. Previously, pig kidneys had been temporarily transplanted into brain-dead recipients. His family thanked his doctors, saying: “Their enormous efforts gave our family seven more weeks with Rick.” BY KEITH PERRY Meta ‘doesn’t care if more youngsters die’ Engineering from 2009 to 2015 and a contractor from 2019- 2021, said: “They created this product that billions of people use and gives you a personally curated list of things that they think you’ll find interesting. “Don’t tell me that company cannot make it so you can’t find a choking challenge or that you don’t recommend grim content to a 13 year old.” Asked if he thinks Meta cares if more people die because of harm they encounter on their platforms, he said: “I think they don’t. That is hard for me to say, but I just go by their actions.” Mr Béjar has met Ian Russell, father of Molly, 14, who took her own life after viewing harmful content on Instagram. He said the company or even Mr Zuckerberg should have invited Mr Russell, who wants the Online Safety Bill strengthened, to discuss “what we can do so this doesn’t happen again”. Mr Béjar, left, said: “That’s the responsible thing to do.” Meta’s Andy Stone said: “We strongly disagree with Mr Bejar’s assertions. We are deeply committed to helping keep teens safe online and have developed more than 50 tools and features to do just that.” Meta is proposing a framework for federal legislation in the US that would require parents to control under-16s’ downloads from the App store. sophie.huskisson@mirror @soph_husk AN ex-Meta director says he does not think the tech giant cares if more young lives are lost due to posts on its social media platforms. Whistleblower Arturo Béjar said the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp owner’s experts could easily stop recommending harmful content to youngsters, but chooses not to. He said if Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg decided to make Instagram “as free of selfharm content as we can make it, then it would happen within a few months”.

Whatever the choreography, the song has to sound great on the night. Can the UK ever win again? Sam Ryder came closest in recent years in 2022 and there was no overly sexual staging there, just a big pop song with strong vocals and a chorus that got stuck in your head for days. Something similar would be a better idea for 2025, to get us back up the leaderboard at the very least. for some. It looked like Olly was singing in a dirty bathroom alongside topless men grinding around the floor. Even the BBC, which backs both the competition and Olly, noted in their write-up that “some viewers said they were put off by the sexual nature of the dancing”. As the big night approached, Olly’s OLLY Alexander didn’t just disappoint our European friends, he failed to score a single point with the public. After Brexit, the UK is not the most adored country across Europe, for sure, but that would not be the only reason for “nul points”. The staging of Olly’s song Dizzy is certainly a major reason some viewers didn’t like our entry. Eurovision fans love camp songs and a bit of cheeky fun but this performance will have crossed the line COMMENT Mark Jefferies, Showbiz Editor BY MARK JEFFERIES Showbiz Editor and CHARLOTTE MCLAUGHLIN Eurovision history made by Nemo in contest of chaos A lot of things didn’t seem like it was all about love and unity NEMO ON CONTROVERSY AT EUROVISION CONTEST GRETA EMBARGO Police remove Thunberg EUROVISION winner Nemo has called for the contest to return to its ethos of peace and unity after this year’s controversy over Israel’s inclusion. The Swiss singer, whose track The Code topped the table with 591 points, became the first non-binary act to take the title. But the 24-year-old said after the victory – and smashing the trophy by mistake in celebration: “I have to say this whole experience was really intense, and not just pleasant all the way. “There were a lot of things that didn’t seem like it was all about love and unity. “And that made me really sad and at the same time... there was so much love here as well. And there was so much coming together and there were so many different cultures meeting, and people that just are full of positivity, love for music and that really gives me hope. “And I really hope that Eurovision continues, and can continue to stand for peace and love. I think that needs a lot of work still.” The participation of Israel’s Eden Golan, who came fifth in Sweden, was contentious. Both she and the Israel jury were booed by the audience and thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered outside the Malmo Arena. Several protesters were taken away by police, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who was photographed in a keffiyeh scarf. Amid the chaos one constant remained, however, as UK entry Olly Alexander came a lowly 18th, with his song Dizzy picking up just 46 points, none from the public. There were no hard feelings towards the winner, as Olly said yesterday: “Nemo! You did it! I’m so, so proud of you. It’s been such an honour to be on this journey with you. You broke the code!” The BBC One audience for the contest was 7.6 million, down almost a quarter from last year’s 9.9 million.

In a major speech, the Prime Minister will say: “Over the next few years… almost every aspect of our lives is going to change. “I have bold ideas that can change our society for the better and restore people’s confidence and pride in our country.” Ahead of a general election, expected later this year, he will claim in London that the UK “stands at a crossroads”. AGENDA The speech comes as L abour leader Keir Starmer hosts a gathering in the West Midlands of his party’s newly expanded team of mayors. He will say boosting regional growth will be top of Labour’s agenda and will feature in the party’s general election manifesto. Mr Starmer will tell the mayors: “We’ll turbocharge growth across our towns, cities and regions, put more money in people’s pockets and improve living standards across Britain.” Brits head to Spain for the Costa living.. THE number of Britons wanting a house in Spain has doubled in a year. Reservations from UK buyers on Spanish properties have soared 120% with the Costa del Sol still the firm favourite with expats and second-home owners. The demand has led to a 5% annual rise in house prices in the country, as foreign buyers account for around 15% of sales and Brits make up 10% of these. New homes are most in demand, according to Taylor Wimpey. Sales and marketing director Marc Pritchard said: “Demand for new homes reflects a growing appreciation for how energy efficient they are.”

What is the point of David Cameron? After his humiliating Brexit defeat and collapse of a company filling his bank account, he hoped to resurrect his reputation with a peerage and the Foreign Secretaryship. Lord Dave’s proved a waste of space, achieving zilch despite his private jet flights and grand speeches. Callow Cameron won’t even threaten to halt Britain’s arms supplies to the invasion of Gaza, despite Joe Biden finally talking tougher. Britain is not a huge armourer of Israel, providing just 0.02% of the country’s equipment compared to Italy’s 4.7%, Germany’s 29.7% and the USA’s explosive 65.6%. But slaughter of innocent Palestinians, mostly women and children, is a war crime like the Hamas October 7 pogrom. Cameron’s on the wrong side of humanity and history. Again. 10 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 13.05.2024 DM1ST VOICE OF THE Hypocrites on housing FOR weeks, the Tories have hounded Angela Rayner over her tax affairs. Labour’s deputy leader has repeatedly denied avoiding capital gains tax when she sold her former council house. This has not stopped the Conservatives and their allies in the right-wing press from harrying and smearing her. Rishi Sunak has twice raised the issue at Prime Minister’s Questions, while senior Tories have demanded an independent investigation, in addition to a police inquiry. Today, the Mirror reveals at least four Conservative politicians might have been liable for capital gains tax on the sale of their taxpayer-funded homes. But when we asked if they had paid the tax, they refused to answer. One even claimed it was a long-standing convention for MPs not to comment on personal tax matters. The hypocrisy is staggering. If Mr Sunak genuinely cares about transparency, he will order his MPs to come clean. If he fails to do so, he will expose the Tory hounding of Ms Rayner for what it is: A politically motivated witch-hunt. Hollow boasts RISHI Sunak last week claimed the economy had turned a corner and people will soon start to feel better off. He should tell that to the 98,000 pensioners who had to turn to foodbanks last year. He should tell it to the 14.4 million, including 4.2 million children, living in poverty in the UK. Living standards have stagnated during his time in Downing Street, with the economy £300 smaller per person than when he took office. Instead of boasting, the Prime Minister should ask why so many are struggling. Trouble vision IT wouldn’t be Eurovision without the outrageous costumes, controversy and last-minute drama. Not even the poor showing for Britain’s Olly Alexander could spoil the party. Hopefully, we’ll be on song next year. VOICE OF THE [email protected] @kevin_maguire Stalking the corridors of power KEVIN MAGUIRE POINTS OF DISORDER #1 DISORDER #2 Styled the Common Sense Minister, Esther McVey vowing to put it at the heart of Government unintentionally highlights what has been missing for 14 years. From upending the NHS to cancelling the HS2 Northern leg after wasting a fortune, ideological Tories repeatedly put political purity before practical policies. When sense hasn’t been common for nearly a decade and a half, it’s no wonder the common sense view of voters is to sack McVey and chums. Transforming from a cuddly eco party into a protest movement on everything from Gaza to trans rights leaves the scrutinised Greens suddenly feeling the heat. Holding together mango (Lib Dem orange on the inside), watermelon (green and red socialists) and fig (green, red and black anarchist) factions will be difficult. Welcome to the harsh world of real politics, planet-savers. GOING UP Shrewd old Neil Kinnock would’ve made a decent PM and is commendably honest about disillusioned voters yearning to see the back of the Tories but not yet falling in love with Labour. GOING DOWN Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen savaging Sunak so soon after praising him is a Tory mayor worrying an incoming Labour Government will probe allegations about his enrichment of private property developers. Starmer’s honourable pledge to scrap the expensive Tory Rwanda gimmick on day one illustrates how public opinion shifted, far fewer voters now believing that exiling a few hundred asylum seekers would stop the boats. Labour being viewed as the best party to handle migration, legal and illegal, is Rwanda backfiring on the Conservatives. And deservedly so. CAMEWRONG... AGAIN DONE ZILCH Lord Cameron Australian Premier Paul Keating. OK, Britain is out of recession but GDP per head is still lower now than it was two years ago. In fact GDP per head grew annually only 0.3% in the past 16 years, compared to 2.2% in the previous 40. The British economy is stronger under Labour, with growth averaging 1.3% annually in the Blair-Brown era – including the 2008 financial crash – to top the 1.2% average of the G7 major economies. Under the Cons it is only a tad over 0.7%, or nearly half that rate, and well below the G7 average of 1.1%. The figures expose the hollowness of Sunak and Hunt’s arguments – Labour Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves adept at getting her retaliation in first. Sunak and Hunt’s tactic of expecting credit for recoveries while shunning blame for doldrums and downturns isn’t working. These two Tory rich blokes lecturing victims of a cost of living crisis are just a pair of Conservative muggers outstaying their welcome. It’s the economy, stupid, and the Tories are finished. average rate of the 16 years to 2008 – 1.7% – instead of the -0.2% in a similar period dominated by the Tories. Is it any wonder that 43% think their personal finances have deteriorated over the past year and only 16% that they improved? Or just 15% believe the economy is in a better place against the 53% who think it has gone backwards? Hyperbolic Office for National Statistics chief economist Grant Fitzner is in the wrong job if he reckons the economy “is going gangbusters” – paraphrasing former MULTI-MULTI-MILLIONAIRE Rishi Sunak lecturing hard-up folk that they’ll never have it so good with him is a haughty, out-of-touch Prime Minister reinforcing why the UK Conservatives deserve to lose the general election. Britain’s richest leader in modern history is tone-deaf, as is his multi-millionaire Chancellor Jeremy Hunt. People count their pennies and know they’re squeezed under the Tories. Most households are likely to be poorer at the looming election later this year than at the previous one in 2019. That’s a first. The respected Institute for Fiscal Studies forecast this to be the worst Parliament for growth in material living standards since at least 1961 – the earliest year for which comparable data exists. The PM and Chancellor lose political currency by painting false pictures, breaking the patience of voters who pay more tax for slashed public services in a Britain where nothing seems to work. Look at wages. The TUC estimates the average UK worker would be £10,400 a year better off – £200 a week – had real wages grown at the annual Economy baloney is all a bit rich, Sunak... DM1ST KEVIN SPEAKER’S CORNER “If Liz Truss were to want to cross the floor, and I don’t imagine she would, I would rather take the lettuce.” Labour star Wes Streeting uses humour as a diversion when most Shadow Cabinet members and party MPs view hard right defector Natalie Elphicke as a Tory too far. Big mistake. »Amid reports that Labour is talking to three more potential Tory defectors, anxious Labour MPs joke about who’d be most unacceptable. Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nigel Farage are high on a list topped by Boris Johnson. One quipped that at least there would be a lot of parties. 6Asked if he wanted Biden or Trump to be the next US President, David Lammy replying blandly “That’s a choice for the American people” is frightening. Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary, right, previously labelled deranged Donald a “neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath”. Neutrality has its limits and does he really want a racist bigot in the White House? If not, say so. Labour is allied to Biden’s Democrats after all. SCORCHIO! Hot? I’m sweating like a Tory MP with a tax return..

Vincent, known as the Headmaster, and his brother Francis gained a fearsome reputation similar to that of Liverpool drug trafficker Curtis Warren. The Huyton Firm were eventually apprehended when French authorities hacked the EncroChat messaging service where they had discussed multimillion-pound drug deals. Since Olivia’s death her mother has called for the “code of silence” to end in Merseyside. This month Crimestoppers announced a new initiative to help people in Liverpool pass information anonymously to the police. The Dovecot, Yew Tree and Huyton area has been designated as a Crimestoppers Zone – the first of its kind for the charity. Cheryl said the plans could only be a “good thing” to help end gang violence in her home city. Cashman, 35, was found guilty of murder and jailed for 42 years last March. Vincent Coggins, of West Derby, was sentenced last week to 28 years after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and plotting blackmail. Seven of his accomplices were also jailed but his older brother Francis remains at large.

Kingpin Vincent Coggins, 58, led the feared Huyton Firm which employed hitman Thomas Cashman who killed Olivia, nine. The gang boss evaded the authorities for 30 years before he was captured in 2020 and jailed last week for 28 years. Olivia’s mother Cheryl Korbel, 48, said she believes that her young daughter would still be alive today without his brutal drug operation. She told the M i r r o r : “ N o amount of years is ever going to be enough. “It’s taken them 30 years to find him so what does that say? “The violence in Liverpool might not have got as bad as it did if they had got them a hell of a lot earlier. “From top to bottom of these gangs, in my eyes they are all to blame. It sickens me.” Olivia was killed when Cashman chased a drug dealer into her home in Dovecot, Liverpool. He fired shots indiscriminately, with the bullet that hit Olivia in the chest also injuring Cheryl’s hand as she tried to keep the door shut on him in August 2022.

The Tory turncoat is accused of pleading with Sir Robert Buckland on Charlie Elphicke’s behalf before he was jailed for two years in 2020. A witness claimed Ms Elphicke wanted to have the case moved to a lowerprofile court to spare Mr Elphicke public scrutiny, according to the Sunday Times. REJECTED Sir Robert rejected her plea, stating: “She was told in no uncertain terms that it would have been completely inappropriate to speak to the judge about the trial at all.” But Labour frontb e n c h e r J o n a t h a n Ashworth said yesterday: “She said that is nonsense and not her interpretation of the meeting. If this happened, then why did [Sir Robert] not raise this issue at the time?” Labour MP Zarah Sultana has questioned Ms Elphicke’s defection , saying: “I just don’t buy it.” ‘Weight link to number of days off sick’ PEOPLE take more sick days the more they weigh, research has shown. UK data shows those classed as obese – with a BMI over 30 – were 23% more likely to record absences from work. Severely obese people – with a 40-plus BMI – were more than twice as likely to take time off sick. Dr Thomas Czypionka, of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna, Austria, said: “It’s quite a big issue for the UK.” The number of NHSissued sicknotes doubled to 11 million from 2014-24. The research was presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Venice, Italy, yesterday.

Paul Taylor, 56, went missing after driving from Scotland to England. He was last seen in Carlisle, Cumbria, on October 17, after leaving his address in Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, at about 9.45pm. Remains were found in Finglandrigg Wood, west of Carlisle, this month. Cumbria Police said his family had been informed. Detectives upgraded the inquiry to a murder investigation a month after he disappeared. Two teenagers have been charged. In February, a 19-yearold man appeared in court charged with murder.

Wartski jewellers in London – which made Charles and Camilla’s wedding rings in 2005 – have also been awarded a warrant. The Queen, who is president of Wine GB, the national association for the English and Welsh industry, has also chosen to bestow two businesses with her seal. One is Camel Valley in Cornwall, a family-owned business which last year provided wine for the lavish state banquet at Buckingham Palace for South Korea’s President and First Lady.

HOTEL HARRY BY PATRICK HILL and DAN WARBURTON Duke is in Nigeria after ‘royal bed offer snub’ LAGOS LOVERS Harry and Meghan yesterday THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex were welcomed to Lagos yesterday as it emerged Harry snubbed the King’s offer of a royal residence for his visit last week. The couple’s warm welcome in Nigeria follows the disappointment that Harry’s father King Charles was too busy to see him when the Duke visited London from his home in California. Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, were greeted by a dance performance in the capital, bringing smiles after Harry’s trip to London last week when he and his father were just three miles apart but could not schedule a meeting. But now it has emerged Harry turned down the offer of a royal bed for a few nights – and royal insiders said it would have been more practical to arrange a meeting had he accepted. The Duke was at an event for his Invictus Games organisation in St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday while the King hosted a garden party at Buckingham Palace three miles away. Harry is understood to have stayed in a hotel. Friends close to the Duke insist he did his best to see Charles but those in the monarch’s camp claim the Duke never asked to see his father, or invited him to the Invictus Games event. A friend of the King, 75, told the Sunday Times: “It’s all very sad.” On the third day of their Nigerian trip yesterday, Harry and Meghan took part in an event with basketball non-profit Giants of Africa at Ilupeju Senior Grammar School in the capital. They got T-shirts from GoA head Masai Ujiri and met Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Two women died and four people were taken to hospital after the blaze in the early hours of Saturday. Three were not seriously hurt but a woman remains in a serious condition. Police were called to the scene in Dunstall Hill, Wolverhampton, West Mids, just before 2am. Two men, aged 19 and 22, were arrested on suspicion of murder and police have been granted extra time to question them. West Midlands Police said yesterday a man, 46, understood to be known to the women, had been held on suspicion of murder.

Fortunately, she’s loved up with Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan so it won’t be a problem that she’s now in her ripe, old mid-twenties. It was a snow-brainer THE DIARY hilarious, and a version will also show in Utah where the 2016 incident happened. “Tears were rolling down my eyes,” says Arlene of her first script read-through, speaking at the launch of Kathy Lette’s book The Revenge Club. “I thought, ‘I want to do this, no matter what’. It’s not unkind in any way for any of the people involved. I think she’d love it, and laugh, because it’s the sincerity – Gwyneth’s sincerity is all there.” The musical is called I Wish You Well, which Gwyneth whispered into her crash accuser’s ear after a jury found in her favour. The actress also won the court of public opinion with her chic outfits, and when asked how the collision had affected her, she deadpanned: “Well, I lost half a day of skiing.” Only a musical comedy version could be more camp. Packing for holidays can feel as bad as packing to move house, so spare a thought for Katie Price, who did both. The ex-glamour model was served with an eviction notice from county court bailiffs as she headed off to the Isle of Wight to visit mum, Amy. Katie, now declared bankrupt again, will have to vacate her Mucky Mansion in Horsham, West Sussex, at the end of the month. Although her rep says she won’t be evicted. Ex-Strictly judge Arlene Phillips says she decided to choreograph a musical about Gwyneth Paltrow’s ski accident trial because it made her cry laughing. Gwyneth has already said she will not be attending any showings, but Arlene says she reckons the star would “love” the comedy musical, which has Diana Vickers playing the actress-turned-Goop creator.

DMLI 20 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 13.05.2024 while Peter was jailed for 18 months, the campaign had cut through and police announced a review of the evidence. Before it was complete, Home Secretary Roy Jenkins ordered George’s release from HMP Isle of Wight in May 1976. He recalls being told that because of the weak evidence against him, he could no longer be kept in prison – but he had not been pardoned. George recalls: “I said: ‘Yeah, but I can go? I can go now? That’ll do.’” After his release, George, from Bletchley, Bucks, got on a train and arrived in London to a rock star’s reception. He says: “I got to Waterloo and there were loads of people. Rose and my daughter. They up and down the country proclaimed “George Davis is innocent OK”, with some faded slogans still visible today in the East End. The Who singer Roger Daltrey wore a T-shirt proclaiming George’s innocence, and punk rockers Sham 69 wrote a song called, simply, George Davis Is Innocent. Eventually, before the final day of an Ashes Test, which England were on course to win, protesters broke into Headingley cricket ground in Leeds to dig holes in the pitch. In huge white letters on a wall surrounding the ground, they wrote: “Sorry it had to be done, but George Davis is innocent.” The Test was abandoned and BY AMANDA EVANS 50 YEARS ON SINCE I t was one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in British legal history, an innocent man sent to jail for armed robbery. It captured the attention of bands including The Who and Sham 69, and led to protesters digging up the pitch to stop an Ashes Test. Now, 50 years after he was arrested, George Davis has spoken out about his ordeal. “I was fitted up... they took two years from me for something I hadn’t done,” he says. In 1974, George, now 83, was arrested over an armed robbery at the London Electricity Board in Ilford, East London, in which a police officer was shot in the leg. He protested his innocence to police, telling them he had been nowhere near Ilford when the robbery took place. And none of the b l o o d s a m p l e s found at the scene matched his blood type. But when George was put in front of an identity parade, five police officers picked him out. He says: “On the strength of that I was charged with armed robbery and attempted murder. “The description was five-foot six to five-foot seven, thin build, fair hair and 45 years old. I was 15 stone, six foot, black hair and 33.” “It was quite a big robbery and got a lot of coverage in the newspapers. The forensic evidence never matched any of us.” TRUTH George was sentenced at the Old Bailey in March 1975 to 20 years for robbery and wounding with intent. He told the judge: “I’m completely innocent of this offence. “I’ve told nothing but the truth in the witness box. “I will not accept this verdict and I’ll fight it in every possible way.” Describing the ordeal, he says: “I was in shock, put in a cell there. I just didn’t know what to do. It was traumatic. I just cried.” He adds: “I’d never been in prison at all. I’d never been to borstal, remand homes or anything.” Thankfully, George wasn’t the only one determined to clear his name. His wife Rose and close pal Peter Chappell launched a highprofile campaign to free him. Peter even rammed his van through the Mirror offices in Fleet Street for publicity, before doing the same to other newspapers and the gates at Buckingham Palace.

The actor also played wrongly convicted Derek Bentley in 1991’s Let Him Have It, and grieving father Trevor Hicks in the 1996 docudrama Hillsborough. Christopher says: “The pursuit of justice is a subject matter which has peppered my career, with dramas that remain special to me and have, in their own way, swayed public opinion. “The Guilty Innocent is another project which pursues justice, or the lack of it.” ■ The Guilty Innocent with Christopher Eccleston airs on Sky HISTORY tomorrow at 9pm. [email protected] @DailyMirror was quashed. He says: “I’ll never forget it. It was at his wife’s funeral, at the wake. He pointed at me and said ‘I love that man.’ That was wonderful. Never forget it.” George’s story and the success of the campaign are explored in the first episode of a series presented by said at the time: “One of the pieces of the jigsaw was the evidence of a woman whose car was hijacked. “After the trial, she saw pictures of George Davis in the Daily Mirror and told the police investigation that because of the pictures, she was satisfied the person in the car was not George Davis. That evidence has been in possession of the authorities for 35 years and was made available to me only last year.” Looking back, George admits that his pal Peter might have thought he had let him down. “Not because I got nicked for another robbery but I think he thought I didn’t care,” he explained. But he smiles as he remembers a touching moment after the conviction George was jailed a g a i n f o r t h e attempted theft of a mail train between London Victoria and Brighton, East Sussex. He recalls: “You go back to a normal routine and then I started drinking, which wasn’t good. Then again, that’s me. “I felt paranoid and I thought people were watching me.” The 1975 conviction was not officially quashed until 2011, when the Daily Mirror’s coverage from the time of the robbery proved crucial. George’s lawyer, Bernard Carnell, got me in the car and home we went. “At home, there was a load of people there as well.” He thanked the Daily Mirror in particular for its support. However, the triumphant homecoming did not last long. George’s life spiralled out of control and he was arrested in 1977 for robbing the Bank of Cyprus in Holloway, North London. He was sentenced to 15 years, later reduced to 11, and Rose, who died aged 67 in 2009, divorced him.

Children who consumed sugar more from fruit and milk products were less likely to be obese by age 10 or 11, research showed. The study of 891 threeyear-olds found those whose total sugar intake at age three was high were no more likely to end up heavier by Year 6. But a higher intake of sugar from snacks like cakes or sweets led to a higher BMI score when the child was older.

Doctors, nurses and support staff at Leeds General Infirmary pulled me back from the brink of death with an operation to correct an aortic dissection. In plain terms, this is when the main artery from your heart blows up. It is usually fatal, I’m told, and would have been without emergency surgery. Every day, I thank the dedicated NHS team who worked throughout the night to stop the blood flooding through my body. This is the reality of our health service. Politicians and patients alike complain about it, until they or their loved ones need the kind of treatment that I was privileged to receive. I can never repay the debt of gratitude we owe these immensely hard-working professional men and women. I just hope they know what their patients feel in their hearts for them. What the future holds is anybody’s guess. I find the physical stuff like the allotment gets harder, and I run out of puff much sooner.

Passengers on some routes endured an even worse service, with around half not arriving on time. Louise Haigh, Shadow Transport Secretary, said: “This data confirms what we all know – passengers are being badly let down.” Labour has a plan to reform the railways if the party wins the general election, including placing train operators under public ownership. Of all train arrivals in March, 29.6% were late. Avanti West Coast had the worst record, with 52.2% of its stops late.

The work of SANCCOB was started in 1968 by Althea Westphal after the Esso Essen spill, one of the first major recognised disasters. She died in 2022 but left behind a remarkable legacy. SANCCOB has so far treated more than 100,000 birds. Its mission is now: “The future of the African penguin depends on the survival of individual chicks. We cannot let an entire species go extinct.” had been left alone, many would have starved to death. SANCCOB calls this chick bolstering, with the release rate of hand-reared African penguin chicks standing at 81%. They will be tagged so experts can track where the birds go and collect data on where the scarce fish resources could be. Other casualties include penguins who have been attacked by dogs, swallowed fishing lines or run over by cars. If we’re lucky we can save them and release them for a second chance in wild VET DR DAVID ROBERTS ON THE WORK OF SANCCOB Hospital’s urgent mission for endangered African penguins Race to save a species one chick at a time “P-P-PICK up a Penguin” was the catchphrase made famous in the 1980s advert for a chocolate biscuit. But volunteers at a penguin conservation project say that the task is the hardest part of their day and can be rather painful. Staff wear thick protective sleeves during feeding time when chicks try to peck them. The penguin hospital, which treats injured, abandoned, sick or oiled birds, is officially known as SANCCOB – the South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds. Yesterday we revealed how the beloved birds are teetering on the brink of extinction from overfishing and climate change. Scientists say that unless urgent action is taken, African penguins will disappear by 2035 with just 8,300 breeding pairs left in South Africa. On average 500 to 600 African penguin chicks and 300 to 400 eggs are cared for each year at the hospital, with numbers increasing. This is mainly due to chicks being abandoned during heatwaves, flash floods or by moulting parents. Researcher Albert Snyman said intervention was vital to save every chick they can from starving to death – essential for the survival of this species. COLONIES He said: “As African penguin populations are facing a crisis due to a diminished food supply near their nesting colonies, there is a substantial risk that this species could eventually become extinct without action. “Numerous chicks are abandoned around this time of year, just before their parents start their moulting cycle, when they develop a new set of waterproof feathers. Adults need to make foraging trips and can end up leaving their chicks behind. “Heat stress can also lead to chicks being abandoned or by burrows being washed out by flash floods.” So far this year, 279 African penguins have been through the doors of the Cape Town hospital, alongside one rockhopper and a king penguin thrown off course. The centre’s primary objective is to reverse the decline of seabird populations through rescue, rehabilitation and release. Some are so emaciated upon arrival they are suffering from dehydration, slow heart rates and crackling noises in their lungs. Vet Dr David Roberts said: “Over the last decade, sourcing sufficient food has become an immense struggle for the African penguin species. They are coming through our doors starving. “It is very difficult to save birds in this state but we go to great lengths by putting them on drips and giving transfusions. “If we are lucky we can save them and release them for a second chance in the wild. But this is not a long-term solution. They need more fish in the ocean.” [email protected] @NadaFarhoud EXCLUSIVE BY NADA FARHOUD Environment Editor in Cape Town, South Africa RESEARCHER Albert Snyman INJURED BIRD Dr David Roberts at the sanctuary FILL ’EM UP Feeding time at the penguin hospital CAREFUL Volunteer picks up chick at the Cape Town centre DURING my visit I watched as Dr David Roberts was tending to a penguin with a broken leg, while dozens of chicks were being coaxed out of cardboard crates into a feeding pen.

LIFE live it well DM1ST 26 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 13.05.2024 We all need a little bit of magic in our lives. And TV presenter Stephen Mulhern has more than most. Indeed, as we settle down for our chat he tells me he’s brought a pack of cards with him – just in case. “There’s always a pack of cards in my pocket, you just never know when you’ll need them,” says Stephen, 47, king of the game show, with presenting gigs on Deal Or No Deal, Catchphrase and In For A Penny under his belt. “When I do live TV – tomorrow, for example, I’ll be on Lorraine – I’ll always have a pack of playing cards just in case something goes wrong and they need to fill a bit of time. Or Lorraine might even say to me, ‘Can you do a trick?’ I love having a bit of magic up my sleeve.” Stephen, who grew up in Stratford, East London and regularly joined his dad on his East End market stall, fell in love with magic from a young age. “My dad would do the odd trick, making a coin disappear or playing around with cards,” he says. “At eight, my parents bought me my first magic set. At 11, I started properly learning it with books – I still have some of them. On telly, I couldn’t get enough of Paul Daniels and, being a Londoner, I used to sit and watch street magicians in Covent Garden, too, and get as close as I could.” Stephen takes out his pack. “This is my latest trick,” he says, asking me to choose a card without telling him what it is (I pick the two of hearts). He then shows me my card. “How on Earth?” I ask. “Magic,” he tells me. “And that reaction is what I’m talking about – it never gets old.” Indeed, the odd magic trick has come in handy over the years, says Stephen, even ensuring a firm friendship with fellow presenters Ant and Dec. “A long time ago, I was in a room with Ant and Dec, and one of the big telly bosses Magic helpedbeat the schbullies and to befriend Ant & Dec!

Edited by HANNAH BRITT [email protected] Edited by HANNAH BRITT mirror.co.uk MONDAY 13.05.2024 DAILY MIRROR 27 DM1ST came in,” Stephen recalls. “At the time they were riding high, massively successful, and I was just plodding along. I saw my chance and said to Ant, ‘When the boss comes over, can you ask me to do a trick?’ He said OK. “So Ant says, ‘Stephen, come on, show so and so a trick’. I reply something like, ‘Oh what? Really? I’m off duty… Fine, go on then, let me have a go’ in a very nonchalant manner, but of course then do the trick. “‘You cheeky so and so’, Ant says with a smile once the boss had gone. And that’s how we all became friends. I think the big boss liked it too.” He winks. Stephen has been a regular on ITV’s Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway since 2016. Magic has been something of a secret weapon for Stephen, whose career began as a magician in Hamleys and Harrods toy shops in London, followed by several years at Butlins, before he embarked on kids’ TV, fronting CITV shows Finger Tips and Tricky TV from 2001. “Magic without question has helped me enormously over the years, from childhood to the present day,” he says. “I loved music and drama but everything else I found hard, so school was pretty difficult. But even though I was far from the cleverest kid, I could do tricks. I was good at something.” Magic helped keep his spirits up when he was bullied, too, something he poured into the storyline of his new children’s book, Max Magic: The Incredible Holiday Hideout. “I only had about two real friends at school and was bullied,” says Stephen. “There was a boy at the school I was at and the worst thing he ever did was in West Ham park. He said to me, ‘I want you to stand in the middle of the park and if you move from this spot before I leave the park I’m going to beat you up’. “I must have stood there for at least an hour and a half. I was too scared to move. It’s always stayed with me. We always remember the worst things that happen to us.” He pauses. “I hope when this goes into your paper, and he’s reading it… Well, who’s laughing now?” There’s no question that funnyman Stephen is at the top of his game right now, landing the coveted Dancing On Ice presenting slot earlier this year. But he’s the first to admit it’s been a long road to get here. Stephen muses: “I always wanted to be a performer and TV was the pinnacle of that dream, but did I ever think it would happen? No. It seemed like the thing you could never get near or touch. “It was a long hard track to get there. I’ve had plenty of doors shut in my face. I’ve just learned how to prise them open.” His secret? Being himself, he says. “When I see a presenter who clearly doesn’t care I think it’s so apparent. You don’t need to have a gimmick to be liked as a presenter, you just have to be you. I’ve always been myself. “You can play my tapes back from 10 years ago and, while I may look older now, my presenting style has always been the same. I talk to guests, to everyone, to you, in the same way I’d talk to my best mate. “You see it a lot at the studios when someone is grumpy on the ‘3, 2, 1’ count in and on the ‘Right, we’re live’ comes to life. What? How do they do that? It’s just weird. “It’s hilarious, especially on ITV when you’re hitting an ad break and the presenter thinks they’re off camera and goes, ‘Urgh’ and pulls a face... but they’re still on air.” He was inspired by some of the greats. “I loved presenters like Bruce Forsyth and Matthew Kelly, who I think was the warmest and kindest presenter on telly,” says Stephen, who reckons TV has changed beyond recognition in recent years. “TV is still great but now we can watch it whenever we want and I think it’s a shame,” he says. “When I’m watching a series I see it as a treat coming up – what are they going to do next week? Teasers make it exciting. However, streaming means you can just watch it right now. “I don’t think I’m an old fuddy duddy yet, but being able to just spoil stuff means people nowadays have no patience. “Where are the phone calls between friends asking, ‘Did you see that? What do you think is going to happen?’ “The nation used to come together and watch something at exactly the same time. The Dallas ‘Who shot JR?’ moment wouldn’t happen now.” So what does Stephen himself watch on the box? “Game shows mainly,” he laughs. “We used to watch Catchphrase as a family, which is weird because I now host it. I think the reason we as a nation love game shows so much is a comfort thing. “They’re like a brand of chocolate, you know what you like and you like that one. Family favourites are passed down through generations.” Most of all they involve the general public, says Stephen, so are entirely relatable. “I prefer working with members of the public to anything – A-listers, you name it – they’re the gift that keeps on giving,” he says. “One of my favourites ever was a woman on In For A Penny, who won a grand and started crying. Some people would go, ‘But you can win £100,000, what’s a grand?’ “But hang on a minute. I asked her why and she said, ‘I can now buy a mattress’. “And there you go, that’s what it’s all about.” d me hool ‘‘ This kid said he’d beat me up if I moved from this spot in the park before he left FOUND HIS CALLING Presenting Deal Or No Deal COINING IT Stephen’s fronted In For A Penny since 2019 MAGICAL Stephen says tricks have helped opened doors for him ■Max Magic: The Incredible Holiday Hideout by Stephen Mulhern and Tom Easton, illustrated by Begoña Fernández Corbalán (£7.99, Piccadilly Press) is out now INTERVIEW BY HANNAH BRITT mirror.co.uk DM1ST Magic helped keep his spirits up when he was bullied, too, something he poured into the storyline of his new children’s book, Max Magic: The Incredible Holiday Hideout. “I only had about two real friends at school and was bullied,” says Stephen. “There was a boy at the school I was at and the worst thing he ever did was in West Ham park.

mirror.co.uk DM1ST MONDAY 13.05.2024 DAILY MIRROR 29 Targeting ‘exhausted’ cells may prevent breast cancer E veryone has BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, but mutations in these – which can be inherited – increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have now created the world’s largest catalogue of human breast cells, which has revealed early cell changes in healthy carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. The study found that the immune cells in breast tissue of healthy women carrying BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations show signs of malfunction known as “exhaustion”. This suggests that the immune cells can’t clear out damaged breast cells, which may eventually develop into cancer. This is the first time that “exhausted” immune cells have been reported in non-cancerous breast tissues – normally these cells are only found in late-stage tumours. The results raise the possibility of an exciting medical advance – using existing immunotherapy drugs early to prevent breast cancer ever developing in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. “Our results suggest that in carriers of BRCA mutations, the immune system is failing to kill off damaged breast cells, which in turn seem to be working to keep these immune cells at bay,” said Professor Walid Khaled of Cambridge University and senior author of the report. He added: “We’re very excited about this discovery because it opens up potential for a preventative treatment other than surgery for carriers of BRCA breast cancer gene mutations. “Drugs already exist that can overcome this block in immune cell function, but so far, they’ve only been approved for late-stage disease. No one has really considered using them in a preventative way before.” Risk-reducing surgery, in which the breasts are removed, is offered to women at increased risk of breast cancer, but this can be a difficult decision for young women to make, and can have a significant effect on body image and sexual relationships. “The best way to prevent breast cancer is to really understand how it develops in the first place. Then we can identify these early changes and intervene,” says Prof Khaled. Using samples of healthy breast tissue collected from 55 women across a range of ages, the researchers catalogued over 800,000 cells – including all the different types of breast cell. The resulting Human Breast Cell Atlas is now available as a resource for other researchers to use and add to. It contains huge amounts of information on other risk factors for breast cancer including body mass index (BMI), menopausal status, contraceptive use and alcohol consumption. ‘‘ Drugs have only been approved for late stage disease until now DAILY MIRROR 29 DR MIRIAM STOPPARD CHARITY OF THE WEEK MINUTES ON... What is it? Prosopagnosia is a big, clumsy word for having difficulty recognising people’s faces. What are the symptoms? You will still see the parts of a face, but all faces may look the same to you. Some people may not be able to tell the differences between strangers and people they don’t know well. Others might not recognise the faces of friends and family, or even their own face. Other symptoms can include difficulty with: ■ Recognising emotions on people’s faces. ■ Recognising people’s gender and their age. ■ Recognising characters in TV programmes and films and following plots. ■ Finding your way around. Difficulty recognising faces may make it harder to form relationships, or cause problems at work and school. What causes it? Prosopagnosia is commonly caused by a problem with the part of the brain that processes information about faces, and it may run in families. It can also result from brain damage, such as following a stroke, head injury, inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), Alzheimer’s disease or autism. What’s the treatment? There’s no treatment, but there are certain things you can do to help recognise people: ■Do tell people about the condition when you meet them. ■ Ask people you’re close to for help identifying others. ■ Ask people to introduce themselves when you greet them. ■ Use people’s voices or body language to tell them apart. ■ Make a note of distinctive features about a person such as hairstyle, jewellery or accessories. ■ Use name tags or write down the names of colleagues and where they sit at work. The Seeing Dog Alliance is dedicated to providing reliable, well-trained dogs in addition to other guide dog charities to increase the numbers available. It trains and develops dogs to provide cost-effective and alternative mobility for those who need it most. It costs around £20,000 to train a fully qualified Seeing Dog. ■ seeingdogs.org.uk Deaths from liver disease among the under 75s in England are increasing, from 15.4 per 100,000 population in 2001 to 21.4 in 2022. INTERESTING Q We’re always being told to NUMBERS exercise more but how do we know it has all the benefits that scientists claim? AI may as well nail my colours to the mast and say I believe exercise is the key to everything. If I were to list all the benefits it would cover this whole page. Also there are thousands of years of evolution that makes us happiest and healthiest when we’re on the move. There are many studies showing physical exercise improves our health. Most, however, are small and their follow-up periods are short. I want to tell you about a much bigger study in which 400,000 adults who provided information on leisure time physical activity were tracked for around 12 years. Regular leisure time physical activity led to a 24% reduction in mortality in women and a 15% reduction in men. Men reached their maximum survival benefit from 300 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Women on the other hand, needed to exercise for only half as long to achieve the same benefit. Ask Dr Miriam Sorry, but I can’t answer letters personally WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? Good sleep is an elixir of youth Feeling youthful can help you live longer. But what makes you feel young? Sleep. It’s as simple as that. A team from the prestigious Karolinska Institute in Stockholm surveyed 429 people aged 18 to 70 about how old they felt and how well they’d slept in the past month. For every night of broken sleep, people felt a few months older than they actually were. On the other hand, those who slept soundly felt almost six years younger than their actual age. In a second study, 186 volunteers were asked to restrict sleep. After getting only four hours for two consecutive nights, they felt four-and-a-half years older than on nights when they snoozed for nine hours. “If you want to feel young, then the most important thing is to protect your sleep,” said Dr Leonie Balter, of the Karolinska Institute.

To say I was shocked is an understatement. I’ve known this friend since we were 12 and doing something like this is so out of character. I had no idea she’s been living this double life. She’s been married to her husband (also a good friend of mine) for 13 years and they don’t have kids. They tried, but it never happened and she’s now saying she’s desperately unhappy in the marriage and wants out, but doesn’t want to break her husband’s heart. She was very upset when she was telling me and cried a lot, saying she felt like an evil person and that she knows what she’s doing is wrong. The guy she’s been having the affair with is single and really into her, so she feels under pressure to make a decision. I don’t know how to help her and, to be honest, I’m so disappointed in her, although I didn’t say that. I love her husband like a brother and if he finds out about this affair, it’ll destroy him. I don’t know what to say to my friend. Please help. Coleen says It’s a sad situation all round and it sounds like this couple have felt the pressure of trying for a baby and it not working out. I understand it’s difficult for you because you love them both and don’t want to see them hurt or break up, but I think all you can do for your friend is to listen and try to support her without judgment. It sounds as if she’s very aware of the damage this affair is already causing and the heartbreak it would lead to if it ever came to light, and she’s struggling with guilt. I think the only advice I would offer is she’s put herself in a very stressful situation and it would be better to end this affair while she sorts out her marriage one way or the other. The affair is a distraction from what she knows she must face, which is a difficult conversation with her husband. There’s no easy way to tell someone that you’re unhappy in a relationship and want out, and of course her husband will be shocked and upset, but he deserves to know and cheating on him isn’t fair and it isn’t the answer. You could also suggest counselling. Even if your friend has made her mind up to leave the marriage it can really help ease the process and help both parties feel heard.

Thanks! Yours, Siobhan mirror.co.uk Can you guess what it is? I have another mouth to feed – but this time it’s in the fridge and it’s called “Dough-vid”. I’ve become a sourdough parent to Dough-vid since my friend Paul gave me some of his Breddie Mercury. I know I’m late to the sourdough party since everyone spent lockdown baking, but I wanted to make proper bread that lasts a bit longer than the cheap white stuff I made. I started baking my own no-knead classic white loaves a year ago for The Dark Lord’s lunchbox. Bread’s pretty important in our house and TDL’s been living on ham and cucumber sandwiches since Year 4 when dinner ladies tried to make her eat bean stew. But TDL complained that my bread went stale too quickly and the crusts became inedible, and she’d bring the remains home in her lunchbox as a sign of her displeasure. I foolishly once tried to vary her sandwich fillings and was told in no uncertain terms not to try sneaking fancy ham in her lunch again. She told me: “I like the thinly sliced stuff you can see through.” So I decided to make a properly kneaded sourdough loaf that would keep better for longer. I started by feeding “Dough-vid” but didn’t time it properly so it rose overnight and had fallen again by the time I needed it in the morning. I pressed on regardless and by 6pm I was ready to bake my first loaf. Trouble is, I didn’t read the bit in the recipe where it said divide the dough and bake half of it – I just dumped the whole load in the oven. As you can see, it got so big, it started invading the kitchen, so we called it Vladimir Gluten. A week later and we’ve still not finished the loaf. TDL says it’s so hard, she’s nicknamed it Toast Malone. She’s begged me not to make another one, but I’ve got the sourdough bug now. ■ Email [email protected] or write to Community Corner, PO Box 791, Winchester SO23 3RP. what it is?

I found this one on the beach in St Kitts in the Caribbean. “I was told by an American couple that it is a living sea creature called a sand dollar.” A relation of the starfish and sea urchin, sand dollars are covered in tiny purple spines which they use to move food from sandy seabeds into their mouth underneath their body.

Richard Johnson Filey, North Yorks Ed: I feel your pain – sadly I have reached that age where police officers look like they should still be in school. ■ The radio article by owner Peter Moore (April 26) brought back the memory of hearing Radio Caroline many years ago at home in Essex. When I was 17 I worked at Mundesley Holiday Camp in Norfolk in the summer of 1974. It was a lovely old-fashioned camp just like the one in Hi-de-Hi and we’d been there for several holidays when I was younger. I had a small radio and remember listening to Radio Mi Amigo, and I can still hear its jingle. I suppose being on the North Sea coast it was quite clear. I didn’t realise it was also Radio Caroline. Barbara Parsons, Grays, Essex ■ I was interested to read about your trip to the Northern Soul gig at the Royal Festival Hall (May 1). I watched last year’s Northern Soul Proms at the Albert Hall on TV and, like you, I was blown away by Darrell Smith. What a voice! I had to Google him as I was watching. Kaye Coleman, Southampton ■ I was fortunate enough to attend Wigan Casino on a weekly basis from 1973 onwards. I was a bit young at 14, but the formidable Mrs Woods on the door was a neighbour of my late nan, so let me in! My journey into the Northern Soul scene started in an under-18s club under the Casino called The Beachcomber, and that’s where I was introduced to Motown. Mrs Woods eventually got me a job at the Casino to help clear up after the rock nights that took place prior to the all-nighter – no wages but free entry. This photo is me at 18 – no mobile phones back then! I saw many live bands – The Exciters, Tommy Hunt , the outstanding Betty Wright brought the house down. I’m 65 in a few days but – wow – what a time we had. I’m still on the scene around the North West although with some tunes now I need a defibrillator! You mentioned the epic intro of Frankie Valli’s The Night – at its height at the Casino, there could be 2,000 in the main room and half again in Mr M’s upstairs where they played all the oldies. Sweat dripped from the walls. Jon Huxley, Wigan ■ I love Northern Soul and Motown too, as my photo shows. I’m off to YMCA Theatre in Scarborough on July 26 to see Belle Voix sing the old classics.

mirror.co.uk DM1ST MONDAY 13.05.2024 DAILY MIRROR 33 CONFESSION Ethan admits the truth EMMERDALE ITV1, 7.30pm At the hospital, Ruby struggles with stress, while she and Caleb keep vigil by Nicky’s bedside as he continues to fight for his life. Ruby wants to seeks revenge for Nicky’s accident and wants to know who was driving his car. Charles is blindsided when Ethan admits that he was behind the wheel – and he’s stunned when Ethan reveals that he is going to go further as he intends to lie to the police. Elsewhere, Ella and Liam are smitten as they enjoy wine and a picnic. CORONATION STREET ITV1, 8pm Gemma realises that Bernie has been lying about her whereabouts and asks Dev to do some digging. He confronts Bernie, who crumbles, admitting she had another son who was taken into care. He was later adopted and she’s determined to find him. Toyah finds a forum for ex-members of the Altovalent Institute. She tries to show Leanne a suspicious post she has seen, but Leanne is dismissive. And Dee-Dee gets a call from the CPS, which has news regarding Lauren’s phone messages. ME AND THE VOICE IN MY HEAD Channel 4, 10pm Ten years ago, Joe Tracini, former Hollyoaks actor turned viral sensation, was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder – a condition that around 2% of Brits will live with at some point. BPD severely affects how a person thinks and feels about themselves and other people, leading to intense, unstable emotions, chronic insecurity and intrusive thoughts. In this candid documentary, Joe introduces us to Mick, the voice inside his head who wants to constantly hurt him. Over the past decade, Joe has battled drug and alcohol addiction, tried to kill himself six times, and experienced 12 panic attacks on stage, bringing his comedy career to a halt. He hopes that by exploring his childhood, he can finally get a handle on his BPD and get through a stand-up comedy show. But will Mick ruin it all? Expect Joe to tell the story in his own unique way. He says: “Most films about mental illness are, ironically, depressing. I’m a lot of things, but serious is rarely one of them.” CHALLENGE Will Joe make it through the gig? DILEMMA John and Emily with dad Stuart and tragic mum Carol THE JENNINGS VS ALZHEIMER’S BBC2, 9pm The Jennings are the first family in the world to be diagnosed with hereditary, early-onset Alzheimer’s. The discovery has had a devastating impact on them but it’s also put them on the front line of medical research – and they could hold the key to a cure. Throughout the 1980s, Carol Jennings lobbied doctors to explore a hunch that her father and his four siblings’ diagnoses were linked. Her fears were confirmed – and she had the condition, meaning her children John and Emily face a 50:50 risk of inheriting it. Carol died in March after turning 70 – donating her brain for dementia research. John says: “I’m totally convinced that in 10 years’ time, I will slowly lose those emotional connections with people… like a television going to static.” Cameras follow the Midlands family at a crucial moment, as two new drugs are set to be licensed in the UK, while Emily and John face an agonising choice about whether to test for the gene. Emily says: “If I found out I had it tomorrow, what would I do – there isn’t a cure.” Sun, sea, sand and secrets CHARM Stephen Mangan with hopeful guests in the Caribbean THE FORTUNE HOTEL ITV1, 9pm AS soon as everyone realised the BBC had a massive hit on its hands with The Traitors, ITV producers must have started panic-brainstorming. The result is this thrilling new – yet oh-so familiar – reality event that invites players to a game of deception in a luxury setting. Stephen Mangan is the host. And he may not be Claudia in a tweed cape and fingerless gloves, but he has the wit and charm to carry the concept. “It’s time for sun, sand and secrets,” he teases. At this unique hotel in the Caribbean, no less, 10 pairs of contestants are each given a briefcase. One contains the jackpot of £250,000. If they receive this, they are The Fortune Holders. Eight suitcases are worthless. The pairs who receive one of these are The Fortune Hunters. The remaining case contains the dreaded Early Checkout Card, putting them in serious danger of leaving. This unlucky pair are The Unfortunates. The rules are simple – find the money and keep hold of it. However, intense challenges, investigations, games and random instructions give opportunities for bluffing, lying, devious behaviour and case swaps. As the “whohasit” mystery ramps up for the guests, tensions start to fray. Each episode ends in a nerve-shredding case swap in the Lady Luck bar, and an elimination. Even the title logo, with sword and snake emblem, is remarkably similar to The Traitors, with its dagger. And with the haunting music playing in the background, it’s like The Fortune Hotel isn’t even pretending to be different. But if it’s more ruthless, addictive telly, we’re ready for it. PICK of the DAY EASTENDERS BBC1, 7.30pm Elaine arrives back at The Vic, but is deflated when George seems completely unbothered by her departure. Gina tries to blackmail George out of the fight, but to no avail. Meanwhile, Amy becomes jealous of the budding friendship between Denzel and Ebony, confiding in Penny that she wants to sleep with Denzel. Bianca enlists Britney’s help to get hold of items for Whitney’s wedding. And Yolande decides to take a holiday with Patrick to get away from Walford for a while.

If they are vetted correctly, it makes sense as a policy. But it also raises the question of what plans are in place to build new prisons. Overcrowding and place shortages have been an issue for years and this government appears to have totally ignored it. Harry Miller Croydon, South London ■Israel banning Al Jazeera and refusing to let international press into Gaza suggests it has much to hide. So far, more than 100 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza. Media buildings have also been deliberately targeted. US and UK governments should condemn Israel’s ban on Al Jazeera reporting from inside the country – like the German government has. Anne Watson, Cornwall ■The Government has come up with another rubbish scheme, this time for all recyclables to go in one bin. I live on the Isle of Wight, where the refuse collection is really good. We have a green garden waste bin and a separate food bin. This system works well. The Government should bin its new idea!

I don’t blame Charles. He has a lot to cope with at the moment with his health. Harry chose to leave the Royal Family, he can’t have it both ways. EILEEN MARGARET ASKEW No. What happened? This isn’t what you do with a child of yours. MICHAEL TIMM Prince Harry attended an event at St Paul’s Cathedral in London last week to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The King’s busy diary is understood to have prevented him from meeting his son. Do you think King Charles was right to snub Prince Harry? No. It’s so very sad his father did not have time to meet him. Blood is thicker than water. JENNY BODMAN YOUR VOICE ridicule the Tory Party here, which is increasingly being abandoned. He should have firmly rejected the very right-wing Natalie Elphicke with a public announcement that told her “thanks, but no thanks”. Why does the Labour Party want to accept second-rate Tory failures? Colin Durkin, Bradford ■It’s not unreasonable to think that having former Tory MPs switch to Labour this close to an election might be dangerous for Labour’s prospects. But at least Dr Dan Poulter and Natalie Elphicke had the guts to stand up, publicly apologise, and do the right thing. Some in Labour will inevitably hold grudges because of the different political viewpoints of the newcomers. However, I think anyone who wants to join should be welcomed rather than ridiculed. Reg Barrett, Southminster, Essex ■With some defections from the spent Conservatives to Starmer’s Labour Party, perhaps it is time for some defections from Labour to the Liberal Democrats. Especially the Remainers and all those across the UK who now realise we should have stayed in the European Union. Neither Labour nor the Tories are interested in having that kind of conversation. Richard Grant Ringwood, Hampshire ■The decision to admit hard-right defector Natalie Elphicke into the Labour Party has been defended by Labour chair Anneliese Dodds on the grounds that “People can change their minds”. The problem with that is that Elphicke was, up until her Wednesday defection, a member of the hard-right European Research Group of Tory MPs and notorious for her anti-immigrant politics. She hasn’t changed her mind and her politics remain the same. That Dodds sees the reactionary Elphicke as a “good, natural fit” for her party says everything about Starmer’s Labour. Natalie Elphicke hasn’t defected to Labour because she has changed. It’s the Labour Party that has become a fit home for people like Elphicke. Sasha Simic, North London ■I’M no fan of MPs turning their backs on their parties. After Dr Dan Poulter walked across the floor, and now Natalie Elphicke, I see them as untrustworthy. The controversy over Elphicke trying to influence the judge over her disgraced ex-husband’s sexual assault trial says everything, as does her criticism of Marcus Rashford’s campaign for free school meals. She certainly isn’t a Labour person and never will be. Tony Howard, Salford ■I had to rub my eyes just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming when I read that right-wing Tory MP, Natalie Elphicke, had defected to Labour. It’s certainly a boon for Starmer, who has now secured two new ex-Tory MPs in the space of a fortnight. Sunak must be tearing his hair out wondering who else will switch their allegiance. Jenny Pain, Chatham, Kent ■More Tory rats deserting a sinking ship and scurrying to the safe haven of the Labour Party. But should Keir Starmer really be welcoming opportunists like Natalie Elphicke, who for years put her Tory boot into working-class families, bashed the unions, and fought for failed immigration policies? The Labour Party would be thought of in a better light if they blocked anyone who suddenly claimed to have changed their lifelong political views to further their aims. Neil Atherton St Helens, Merseyside ■I firmly believe that Keir Starmer has wasted an opportunity to further Dover MP Natalie Elphicke, right, has become the second Tory in two weeks to join Starmer’s Labour Party, citing the “broken promises of Rishi Sunak’s tired and chaotic government”. However, some Labour backbenchers have called the defection outrageous and argued she does not share their values. Labour chair Anneliese Dodds insists Elphicke is a “good, natural fit” for the party. You say… Labour’s being too welcoming Tweet THE BIG QUESTION of the day Every day we’ll be asking your opinion on one of Britain’s big talking points. You can have your say and vote at mirror.co.uk Family always has to come first As a devoted fan of US soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, I have seen so many complex family relationships and conflicts, with some so silly they seem ridiculous. And reality can clearly be more farcical than fiction, as shown by Prince Harry visiting Britain but not being able to catch up with the King due to calendar conflicts. Family is the most important part of life, so they should just make the effort. Everyone will be better off for it. Dennis Fitzgerald Melbourne, Australia Shadow Cabinet Minister for International Development Lisa Nandy on hope for a two-state solution in Israel-Palestine. @lisanandy – This conflict must end. We need an immediate ceasefire, hostages returned, UNRWA funded & Gaza flooded with aid. More than this, after a decade of lost hope for a better future, we must bring people together with a renewed drive for a peaceful, lasting two-state solution.

mirror.co.uk/sport DMLI MONDAY 13.05.2024 DAILY MIRROR 41 GOLF US PGA CHAMPIONSHIP STARTS THURSDAY KOEPKA’S HOT TO TROT ‘Contract killer’ primed for title defence won more Majors than regular PGA Tour titles ( four) or LIV Golf tournaments during a career dogged by two knee surgeries and crisis of confidence. “Normally when there’s a clutch putt, I feel like I do make it,” Koepka, 34, said. “I think the big thing that kind of separates me is my ability to lock in and go someplace where I think a lot of guys can’t go.” He is already only the third player to win the US PGA three times in a six-year span, along with Jack Nicklaus and Walter Hagen. Now he has the chance to win his sixth Major and draw level with legends Lee Trevino, Sir Nick Faldo and Phil Mickelson. ESPN analyst North said: “He’s a contract killer, simple. He shows up at a major championship, opens his locker, and there’s like the ‘Mission Impossible’ thing – ‘Here’s your assignment, go kill somebody this week’. “That’s how he approaches golf at Major championships. I love it.” ■Rory McIlroy hit a final round 65 to win the Wells Fargo Championship by five shots – on 17 under par – from Xander Schauffele. he can compete with anyone. He has won five Majors since 2017 and no one else has done that. “He probably hasn’t played as much competitive golf as he would have liked, although he has played six LIV events and the Masters, which is basically enough. He got a decent result in Adelaide and then won in the heat in Singapore. He is looking good.” World No.1 and the new Masters champion Scottie Scheffler (circle) has won four times in the last two months, but did not play in the Wells Fargo Championship because his wife Meredith is heavily pregnant. Koepka, who takes his love of brown sauce and Manchester United from his Ulster caddie Ricky Elliott, finished tied 45th at the Masters, but won his first event as a father in Singapore. “Something I’ve always dreamed of is having Jena and (son) Crew there when I win,” he said. “My game feels good. It’s all starting to come around. I’ve put in a lot of work.” The world No.37 rises to the big occasion and has DEFENDING champion Brooks Koepka is running “hot” and ready to follow his record fourth LIV title with victory at the US PGA this week. The American has been dubbed a “contract killer” who is on a mission to win his sixth Major in Kentucky by former US Open winner Andy North. No man has won more Major titles than the former world No.1 since his first US Open triumph in 2017. And his short-game guru Pete Cowen (above) said streaky Koepka, who made 17 birdies in 54 holes to win in Singapore earlier this month, is back in the form to retain his title at Valhalla. “He is one of the best players in the world,” the Yorkshireman said. “He is definitely in the mix – there is no doubt about that. “And when he has just won, he has always got the bit between his teeth and his confidence is up. “When he is hot, he tends to run hot. I think he has shown in the past that when he is on his game, BY NEIL McLEMAN @NeilMcLeman EXCLUSIVE “I think the big thing that kind of separates me is my ability to lock in and go third player to win the US PGA three times in a six-year He got a decent result in Adelaide and then won in the Scheffler (circle) has won four times in the last two Koepka is aiming for repeat of last year’s US PGA victory in Kentucky this week HISTORY BROOKS The offer is provided by Artemis Home Ltd, 278 Torquay Road, Paignton, TQ3 2EU.

O’BRIEN’S LOS LEADER BY DAVID YATES LOS ANGELES defended his unbeaten record to lift Leopardstown’s Group 3 Cashel Palace Derby Trial Stakes — and is now as short as 7-1 (from 20-1) third favourite for Epsom on June 1. The son of 2012 Derby hero Camelot ended his juvenile campaign with a perfect 2-2 record, following a maiden score at Tipperary in September with a neck victory in the Group 1 Critérium de Saint-Cloud the following month. And Los Angeles (left) staked his claim for the Betfred-sponsored colts’ test with a battling one-length margin from Aidan O’Brien stablemate Euphoric in the 10-furlong trial. Winning jockey Wayne Lordan said: “He needed to get out today and I think you could see by the race he goes along behind the bridle, so he’s going to make a great step forward today — and, stepping up in trip, he’s going to improve again. “He’s a very laid-back sort of horse. He just does what he has to do and that’s it. I think he’s going to be a better horse when he gets up to that mile and a half.” ■ DANCING GEMINI came within half a length of giving Roger Teal a (left) first Classic triumph with a heroic second in Longchamp’s Poule d’Essai des Poulains. Victory in the French 2,000 Guineas went to outsider Metropolitan, with Aidan O’Brien’s Derby hope Henry Longfellow only finishing eighth. There was also agony for the British raiders in the French 1,000 Guineas, in which the Brian Meehan-saddled Kathmandu was overhauled in the dying strides by Rouhiya. stepping up in trip, he’s going Poule d’Essai des Poulains. only finishing eighth.

For a horse who has spent most of his career plying his trade in handicaps, the fiveyear-old has a most respectable strike-rate of four wins from 24 starts — with 10 podium finishes thrown in for good measure. Two of those successes for trainer Tim Easterby came when Marbuzet was stepped up to staying trips in the second half of last season — my selection scored over a mile and six furlongs at Carlisle in September before following up over an additional quarter-mile at Musselburgh nine days later. Having rounded off his turf campaign with a half-length second at York another week on, Marbuzet wasn’t at his best when fifth of six behind Cool Party at Southwell last month. That was the Farhh gelding’s all-weather debut and Marbuzet, re-equipped with blinkers — he wore the headgear for both his wins last season — can show his true colours back on grass under David Allan (above).

And six-time world champion Mark Foster is backing Britain’s greatest swimmer to hit the gold standard again in Paris this summer. At an ungodly hour, with finals shunted past midnight to suit American TV prime-time audiences, Peaty landed the first of 27 Olympic gold medals for his country at the Rio 2016 Games in the 100 metres breaststroke. Five years later, in Tokyo, he was the first Brit to bring home the bullion as he defended his title, and Foster is tipping him for another golden summer. Foster, who won 47 major international titles, said: “From the first time Adam stepped on to the international stage, I said he would be unbeatable. “That’s proved to be right. The only times he has been beaten have been just after he broke his foot or when he’s been out of sorts. “Peaty on a good day – and they are nearly all good days – is untouchable and I don’t see him being beaten in Paris. The only one who could threaten him is China’s Qin Haiyang. “At the Olympic trials, Peaty swam the fastest time in the world this year. You don’t expect him to produce his gold-medal form three or four months out from the Games, but he gave us a taste of what to expect in the summer. “He’s taken a couple of years out to pursue other activities, like Strictly, and to reflect on what he’s achieved and how far he’s come. “I swam for Great Britain for 23 years and went to five Olympics – I fell in love with the water and it gave me experiences which will never leave me – and I think Peaty has had a chance to remind himself how lucky he is. “He’s a wonderful human being, with the performances to show for it, but he’s also come to realise how lucky he is to be doing what he does, and to be the best on the planet in his field.” After his first Olympic gold in Rio eight years ago, Peaty’s coach Mel Marshall sent him a text message which has stood the test of time. She wrote: “Promise me one thing: Stay true to who you are, continue to be a son your mum will be proud of, a friend your friends can rely on, and a role model for the sport we’re lucky enough to work in.” Foster said: “Peaty has sustained a level of excellence by being true to himself but it’s also a credit to the people he’s got around him. “They remind him of who he is and keep him grounded. “Mel has been brilliant for him but he’s relentless as a competitor, and he’s the kind of p e r s o n w h o i n v a r i a b l y achieves his goal when he sets h i s m i n d t o something. Elite athletes have that in common, and he’s a market leader in that respect.” ■Mark Foster was speaking as a National Lottery ambassador for Aquatics UK. National Lottery players have helped transform aquatics in Britain, investing more than £600million since funding began and raising more than £30m a week for good causes.

The Yorkshireman yesterday landed third place in the second Berlin E-Prix of the weekend despite starting well back in 16th. It mirrors the Nissan star’s performance the previous day, where he rose from 15th to third, to cap a stellar weekend on the track. He finished only behind race winner Antonio Felix Da Costa – who is not a direct title rival just yet – and Nick Cassidy, who was the winner of Saturday’s race. The result keeps him within one race win of championship leader Cassidy. Rowland (above) said: “Yesterday the strategy was to get quickly to the front but today was slightly different. We stayed calm, it was just like going on a mission.” Sizzler No.6 puts Ollie in dreamland OLAV KOOIJ snatched victory in stunning style to win stage nine of the Giro d’Italia. After the final climb of the day on the 214km route from Avezzano to Napoli, Julian Alaphilippe led the leading group but was soon overtaken by Jhonatan Narvaez. The Ineos Grenadiers rider looked on track for victory, but the peloton quickly caught up to produce a thrilling finish in the final kilometre where a brilliant sprint from Kooij (above) saw him triumph. The Dutch rider just pipped Jonathan Milan at the finish line by centimetres to earn his first Grand Tour victory. He said: “I was really looking forward to my first Grand Tour. I think this one is really one I was dreaming of.” Tadej Pogacar retained the Pink Jersey and praised UAE Team Emirates team-mate Juan Sebastian Molano for his third-placed finish.

I wasn’t even looking up. “Then I felt a very strong hit in the head. That has, yeah, really impacted me a lot. I’ve been through half an hour, an hour of nausea, dizziness, blood, a lot of different things.” The Serb said he felt like a “different player” in his defeat to Tabilo. The six-time champion committed 22 unforced errors, served five double faults and failed to create a single break point.

mirror.co.uk/sport DM1ST MONDAY 13.05.2024 DAILY MIRROR 45 SUPER LEAGUE BY ALEX SPINK GLOUCESTER captain Lewis Ludlow will today meet with fans he branded “clueless” for slamming his club’s 90-point humiliation at Northampton. The Cherry and Whites suffered a 14-try annihilation after boss George Skivington chose to rest senior players ahead of their European Challenge Cup final with South Africa’s Sharks on Friday week. It is the biggest defeat in the English Premiership since Richmond trounced Bedford 106-12 in 1999. Kingsholm legend Phil Vickery branded it a “very sad day for a proud club” and fans called for Skivington to be sacked. Ludlow reacted by tweeting “Clueless you lot!” – and opening himself up to further criticism from supporters. One fired back: ”Attacking angry fans on Twitter for expressing a perfectly valid opinion, great look from our club captain there”. Skivington stood by his selection call, saying: “That was extremely painful (but) I don’t regret what I did.” Our fans ‘clueless’ says Lew BY ADAM HATHAWAY ROB BAXTER tipped Greg Fisilau for an England tour spot after the No.8 helped keep Exeter alive in the play-off race. The Exeter boss watched Fisilau (below) dominate Harlequins’ Alex Dombrandt, one of his rivals for a spot on the summer trip to New Zealand in the 58-26 hammering of the Londoners on Saturday. Baxter expects him to get the nod when national head coach Steve Borthwick unveils his squad early next month. Baxter said: “Greg put down as big a marker as he could. He had a stand-out game, one of his best”. England need Fis Dombrandt, one for a spot on BRONCOS HIT HULL TO BUCK THEIR LOSING STREAK the win that ended a Super League drought stretching back to September 2019. “It was huge,” said the coach. He spoke of the club’s sadness at being told they were the 24th-ranked professional club in the country and had no hope of staying in the elite division. behind and then brought the house down with a blazing finish. Hull caretaker coach Simon Grix was damning, saying: “We showed why we’re down there. Grix said the club was going up but “a lot of blokes gave us reasons why they’re not going to be there”. BY STEVE MASCORD MIKE ECCLES responded to Broncos’ first Super League win in four-and-a-half years by expressing the club’s heartbreak at their impending relegation. Oli Leyland punched the air after racing 60 metres to secure “We’ve always been very hurt by it,” he said. “No one knows what we’ve been through, to have a plan to build and that gets taken away before you even go on your holidays… and say ‘you agreed to the terms’ - we didn’t.” London led 16-12 at half-time, briefly fell THIS LEOPARD WON’T CHANGE HIS SPOTS! Moylan pledges he will stay with Leigh in 2025 BY DAVE CRAVEN RL Correspondent @DCravenRL EXCLUSIVE RUGBY UNION London Broncos 34 Hull FC 18 AUSSIE star Matt Moylan insists he’s going nowhere and will be playing for Leigh in 2025. The former Kangaroos international joined the Leopards as their big marquee signing from Cronulla on a two-year deal this season. He’s been ever-present and was in red-hot form at full-back as they destroyed Salford 40-12 on Friday. Reports down under, though, have said the ex-Penrith schemer is open to the idea of a swift return to the NRL. It would be a bitter blow for Leigh who have already seen captain John Asiata confirm a move to Hull for 2025. Ex-England centre Zak Hardaker is also set to make the same switch and even boss Adrian Lam has been sounded out about joining the Black and Whites. Losing former New South Wales State of Origin ace Moylan back to the NRL as well would be a hammer blow. But asked if he would be with Leigh again in 2025, he insisted: “Absolutely. Yes. I don’t know where that came from. “I’ve never said a word or looked at going back home to play NRL. I was as surprised as everyone else when I saw that. “I’m enjoying it here. It’s a new experience for me but I’ve enjoyed it and hopefully we can keep playing games like that (Salford) and chalking up wins.” Leigh delivered only their third Super League win of the season on Friday. After letting a big lead slip to draw with lowly Castleford the week before, Moylan admitted it was reassuring to see them deliver such a commanding finish. Leigh led just 16-6 at the break but ran riot in the second period. He said: “We’re still confident of what we can do. We can play. “We’ve been in a lot of games this year and let it get away from us just through errors and penalties, putting ourselves under pressure when we don’t need to. “It’s good to have a game where we were able to put in a full performance on both sides of the ball, build a lot of pressure and take chances when they come.” NO GOING BACK Aussie Moylan says he is NOT one of those returning to the NRL SADNESS Boss Eccles knows the Broncos will still go down


46 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 13.05.2024 DM1ST BOXING FURY v USYK WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE RIYADH, SATURDAY Forget Fury’s mixed messages, this bout is one for the ages ABSOLUTE BELTER! COUNTY CRICKET FROM MARTIN DOMIN in Riyadh TYSON FURY is prone to playing down his fight with Oleksandr Usyk as just another night’s work. His attitude towards the undisputed showdown varies as wildly as his opinion of the man standing in front of him. Fury will often insist he has faced far tougher challenges while also hailing the fight as the biggest bout in history – sometimes in the same sentence. But make no mistake, this fight matters. It is a symptom of boxing’s sickness that we have waited 25 years to once again discover the identity of the best heavyweight in the world. Twentyeight men have held at least one of the four recognised belts since Lennox Lewis was crowned the division’s last undisputed champion in 1999. Since then fans have bickered over which Klitschko brother would out-jab the other during their respective robotic reigns. And they were left dismayed when Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder traded only empty promises before being ruthlessly overthrown. It has taken almost two years and Saudi Arabia’s seemingly bottomless pit of money to convince current rulers Fury and Usyk to share a ring and bring an overdue end to the sport’s game of thrones. Even with the intervention of boxing’s new ringmaster Turki Alalshikh, the first bell will ring at the third attempt after Fury forced delays in first December and then February. But with the threat of a £10million fine hanging over him if he postponed again, the Brit has dragged himself back into shape following his neard i s a s t r o u s p e r f o r m a n c e a g a i n s t F r a n c i s Ngannou last October. Fury has dismissed Usyk’s threat ever since his second conclusive victory over Joshua in 2022. But this fascinating fight has all the ingredients to be the biggest in boxing’s marquee division since Lewis stopped Mike Tyson (left) 22 years a go . Usy k followed his flawless cruiserw e i g h t campaign with a seaml ess transition to the land of the giants. He has arrived here in Riyadh with the same cuddly Eeyore mascot he unveiled before his rematch with Joshua. Luck played no part that night. But Usyk may have to reach another level on Saturday night if he is to overcome Fury’s considerable size advantage. The Brit has arguably not been at his best since his demolition of Wilder in their grudge rematch four years ago. He has announced as many retirements as he has fights since concussively settling his trilogy with the American. But at his best he has bamboozled and bludgeoned his way to the top. All that remains is to prove he is the best of his generation by becoming the 26th heavyweight to call himself “undisputed”. And that prospect will not be lost on Fury – no matter what he says. and then February. But with the threat of a £10million fine hanging over him if he posting his neard i s a s t r o u s p e r f o r m a n c e a g a i n s t F r a n c i s stopped Mike Tyson (left) 22 years a go .

The match in Perth, Australia saw the ring announcer call Essex’s Hughes as the victor by majority decision, before awarding the victory to her opponent with scores of 98-92, 96-94. The final judge scored it a draw. “It’s a joke,” said Hughes. “I feel like I’ve been robbed. There’s got to be a rematch. I didn’t lose that fight.” PRICE ON A REAL HIGH LAUREN PRICE wants to unify a stacked women’s welterweight division after winning world belts in her seventh professional fight. Price (right) added WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine world titles to the Olympic gold she won at Tokyo three years ago with a comprehensive win over Jessica McCaskill in Cardiff on Saturday. McCaskill was unable to continue in the ninth round after a clash of heads. Price was crowned champion by unanimous scores of 90-82. “The 147 division has great fights out there for me and I want to go all the way,” she said. DOUBLE HUNDRED Notts skipper Hameed NOTTINGHAMSHIRE captain Haseeb Hameed struck a career-best 247 not out to help his side take control of their Vitality County Championship match against Lancashire. Hameed’s score is also the highest by a Nottinghamshire player through an innings in the county’s first-class history. Nottinghamshire finished all out for 501, after an overnight deficit of 52 with only three wickets remaining, before Lancashire closed on 100-6 in their second innings, still 72 behind. Champions SURREY need just 58 runs to seal a third successive Division One win, with Jamie Smith’s superb 155 giving them a lead before Kemar Roach took 6-46 to reduce WARWICKSHIRE’S second innings to 209 all out. Jack Leaning’s unbeaten 152 gave KENT a fighting chance against WORCESTERSHIRE, steering them to 362-8 at stumps, 256 runs behind. David Bedingham (144) made his second century of the season for DURHAM as they closed on 410-8, 93 runs behind in their first innings at HAMPSHIRE. Hameed strikes up a record BY SIMON MELLUISH BMW star Colin Turkington took two textbook wins at Brands Hatch, while reigning champion Ash Sutton has kicked off his British title defence with six successive podiums. Turkington claimed a lights-to-flag double at the famous Kent circuit to move to within two points of Sutton at the top of the standings. A podium for Tom Ingram leaves the Team Bristol Streets Motors Hyundai man just 10 points in arrears. “It’s a long time since I’ve won two in a day – everything has just fallen into place for me today,” said Turkington.

It is in our hands. “Liverpool is going to be a very, very tough game, we know that. “We obviously have the crucial benefit of other results potentially going our way – but we want to get the job done ourselves and get into the top four, which would be an unbelievable achievement.” The disappointment in Piraeus was almost palpable as Villa’s players trudged towards their waiting bus. Leon Bailey’s leg was heavily strapped – meaning he is an injury doubt for tonight’s game. But there are hopes the Jamaica winger (above) will shrug off his issues. Emery described Youri Tielemans as ‘close’ to a return and so too Alex Moreno. McGinn added that he expects Villa Park to be in full voice, but says it is down to the players to provide a fitting finale. He added: “There has been a determination to get the job done for five or six weeks – that’s the frustrating thing, we could have had it wrapped up before now. “But the Premier League is extremely difficult. We have certainly had some setbacks – but this group will keep fighting. “We fought on Thursday but it wasn’t enough – on another night we could have turned it around. It wasn’t to be. “It’s clear the boys need a lift. However, the fans have been there the past few weeks and it is up to us to deliver now. “You can wave as many scarves as you want, shout our names as loud as you want, but it is up to us to find that fire and get us over the line.” McGinn: We must go four it FROM BACK PAGE about but it helped him a lot. After that talk, he stepped up and it’s really good to see how strong he is. He’s a good footballer. He plays right wing, left wing especially, and centre. He’s smart and full of confidence and physical strength.” If Liverpool win their final two games, they will finish the season on 84 points – 17 more than they gained in finishing fifth last season. Three years ago, their final total in finishing third, behind Manchester City and United, was 69 points. In Klopp’s first season – 2015-16, the year Leicester sensationally won the title – their final tally was just 60 points. Three seasons ago Liverpool were thrashed 7-2 at Aston Villa, but in seven meetings since, the Merseyside team have won six and drawn one. At Anfield earlier this season the Reds were 2-0 up inside 25 minutes before going on to record a 3-0 win. Liverpool’s last match of the Premier League season, Klopp’s last match in charge at the Kop, is at home to Wolves on Sunday. secured and Manchester City and Arsenal out of reach above them. But it is a chance for the likes of Elliott to stake a late claim for a place in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad. Klopp says 21-year-old Elliott, who has not been a preferred choice for the Three Lions. has what it takes to be an asset in Germany. “He has done nothing wrong but some people will find a reason for him not to be there,” Klopp said “He is in a great moment and, if someone wants to pick him, he has everything you need. “He can pack a suitcase in an instant, it’s not a problem. But I will not be part of that discussion.” Cody Gakpo is another who has returned to the Anfield first team recently and is impressing in the central role up front. The Dutch forward has put behind him some poor form earlier in the season and is keeping Darwin Nunez on the bench. Klopp said: “Cody knows that for a while he was not in his best moment. “It is not for the public what we spoke Klopp wishes he’d given Elliott more playing time as Kop season unravelled JURGEN KLOPP is not a man to admit to regrets too often but he does have one about his final season at Liverpool. That is not relying more on Harvey Elliott, the Liverpool midfielder who starred in Mo Salah’s absence and has impressed in a more central role this term. But as Liverpool’s title bid started to crumble, Elliott was left out of decisive games against Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Everton. Elliott impressed in last week’s win over Tottenham, showing his quality again and proving he will be an asset for new boss Arne Slot. “It’s not like I go back and think, ‘OK, what did we all do wrong here and there?’” said Klopp ahead of tonight’s visit to Aston Villa. “But if I regret one thing a little it’s that Harvey didn’t play often enough. “It was in a very important and intense period. In January, with a lot of injuries, he was probably our best player, right wing, right midfield, all these kind of things. “Everybody came back and he had minutes here and there, and then he didn’t start anymore. He came on and had a big impact.” Liverpool have little to play for tonight, with Champions League qualification Elliott has impressed for Klopp (the pair, far left) and will be big asset for new boss Slot ELL OF A FUTURE BY CHRIS McKENNA @cmckennasport as Kop season unravelled down to the players to provide a fitting finale.

48 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 13.05.2024 DM1ST MANCHESTER UNITED 0 ARSENAL 1 Trossard 20 When winning ugly becomes a thing of beauty TO be brutally honest, it would have taken a monumental effort NOT to beat this Manchester United team. To be brutally honest, Arsenal keeper David Raya was more worried about a lightning strike than a United strike. And to be brutally honest, it was one of Arsenal’s ugliest displays of the season. But there was serious pressure on them in a game that most saw as a formality. To a large extent, this was not Arsenal against United, this was Arsenal against themselves, against their own insecurities, against the pressure. And they passed the test, simple as that. It was a bit fraught, it was very workmanlike, but the win was all that mattered – and it was a win that RIGHT AS RAIN Rice and Gabriel salute Arsenal fans after keeping title hopes alive at Old Trafi ord 48 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 13.05.2024 Trossard 20 ROONEY Attacked fragility of Ten Hag’s United squad INJURED: Rashford said some of those currently out are able to play but have chosen to declare themselves unfit to avoid the flak that has come United’s way. “There are some very good players in that squad and the performances are way below par,” said Rooney. “Look at the injuries they have picked up. Some of those players can play – 100 percent. “Because they’re getting a little bit of stick, it’s easy for players to stay out of it a little bit and then come back towards the final, and get themselves fit for the European Championship. “I’ve seen it myself over the years. I just think the players who have been injured are not filling themselves with any credit and the manager is going to take all the stick for that.” Former Red Devils skipper Roy Keane also laid into the current side after defeat yesterday, and said: “Arsenal will be thinking how lucky they were to play such a poor United team.” BY DAVID MCDONNELL WAYNE ROONEY accused Manchester United players of feigning injury in an explosive attack on Erik ten Hag’s squad. United legend Rooney claimed some of Ten Hag’s sidelined players are able to play but have chosen to hide away and save themselves for the FA Cup final and Euro 2024. Ten Hag currently has 11 players out through injury, including skipper Bruno Fernandes, England forward Marcus Rashford, and £60million summer signing Mason Mount. Although he did not name individuals, Rooney Reds fake injuries, says Roo


DM1ST mirror.co.uk/sport MONDAY 13.05.2024 DAILY MIRROR 49 ANDYDUNN Chief Sports Writer Havertz – a 24-year-old who has commanded fees in excess of £125million – is a member of the supporting cast, you would not find too many Arsenal fans who believed the German would have such a late impact. He was given a free pass by Casemiro, who played Havertz onside with some unforgivably lazy play, but still had to have the presence of mind to perfectly time his run and pass for the assist for Leo Trossard (above). Havertz has now surface and it seemed a job for the players just to remain upright but, even so, it was poor stuff. There were a couple of defensive performances to admire, for sure. William Saliba, in particular, was in confident form and Diogo Dalot was prominent for United. To everyone’s surprise, Sofyan Amrabat put in a decent performance but, generally, it was a ropey watch. It took the home side almost 70 minutes to have an attempt scored or assisted 19 Premier League goals this season and has eight goals and six assists in his last 14 Premier League games. He has stepped up for Mikel Arteta – exactly what Trossard does when needed. In truth, their link-up for the goal – even though that goal was facilitated by calamitous United defending – was a rare instance of quality from either side in a low-grade contest. It did not help that United appeared to have greased the on target and that was a spot of simple catching practice for Raya (above). But, of course, the quality did not matter to Arsenal – only the result. Still, it must have been a little frustrating for Gunners supporters to watch their team not get on the front foot against a United side (with a frustrated Alejandro Garnacho, top circle) that could kindly be described as very limited. There was still a good 15 minutes left when substitute Gabri el Mar tin el li was taking the ball towards the corner flag. But he was excused by those fans – because the win was all that mattered. Arsenal have taken the title race to the wire… and their unsung players deserve credit for that. was produced by one instance of incisive play. For any team to sustain a title challenge, every first team squad member has to make a contribution. Yes, the marquee players need to enjoy stellar seasons and the contributions of the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice have been first-class. But the chorus line has to produce quality on a regular basis, too.

We wanted to experience that. It is part of our journey. And it is 27 wins in the Premier League – that’s not progress, that’s history. “Some of the players have not been in this position, they don’t know what is at stake and how you feel emotionally to have to win and win and win from December or January. “It is a phenomenal thing they are doing.” 50 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 13.05.2024 MANCHESTER UNITED was Trossard’s 12th goal in the Premier League this season, that is four in his last five games and, when those around him are losing their nerve, he is ice cool. Well, put it this way: if Liverpool get a result at Aston Villa on Monday night then Spurs will at least have something to play for when they face City. They could still leapfrog Villa for fourth place. Arsenal need a miracle but they have pushed arguably the best team in the history of the Premier League all of the way. That is some tribute to the job Arteta has done in his four-and-a-half years at Arsenal, even if his team got a dose of the jitters and were well below their best at Old Trafford. But they were terrific defensively, kept United at arm’s length and then relied on Leandro Trossard yet again to be their match winner. That ULTIMATELY, Arsenal got the job done. It was not pretty, it was nervejangling and was never going to be as easy as Manchester United’s merchants of doom would have you believe. Victory at Old Trafford is still a hallmark of champions and Arsenal have at least taken the title race to the final day of the season. Mikel Arteta’s men regained top spot from Manchester City and now need their bitter rivals Tottenham to do them a favour when they face P e p G u a r d i o l a’s reigning champions tomorrow night. D o e s t h a t sound unlikely?
