BURRITO (4.10 York, nap)

Having missed his two-year-old season, this Gosden-trained son of Lope De Vega showed bundles of promise when winning on debut at Newmarket this time last year. He then went close at Chester in September before being gelded over the winter. He looked a bigger and stronger prospect when returning at Newbury 28 days ago. The four-year-old absolutely tanked along and was value for a fair bit more than the official margin of half a length. Unfortunately the handicapper was paying attention but a 10lb rise in the weights is fair enough.

MISS JUSTICE (3.15 Sandown, nb)

Will relish this longer trip under William Buick after an excellent second at Wolverhampton last time. She makes her handicap debut off the same mark and can give the Gosdens another winner.

TOPTEAM (3.25 Chester, treble)

Enjoyed himself over this course and distance 13 days ago when scooting in by more than three lengths. This race looks little tougher and he can take another step forward for Andrew Balding.

THE idea for Yungblud’s new album Idols came after a chance encounter with a fan who claimed he’d saved her life.

The Doncaster-born rocker — real name Dominic Harrison — recalls: “There was a video going round a couple of months ago about a fan crying, saying, ‘You saved my life’.

Harrison, says there are ‘no gimmicks’ with his new album[/caption]

“I said to her, ‘Darling, I’ve never met you. You saved your own life. Maybe music was the soundtrack, but it was you who did it all’.” 

Speaking via video call, a svelte and healthy-looking Yungblud explains how the moment forced him to rethink the idea of hero worship.

“I called the album Idols because we all have these photographs on our walls — but why do we credit our emotional growth to people we’ve never even met, instead of to ourselves?” he says.

“I never met Bowie or Freddie Mercury, but I love them. I always wanted to be someone’s photo on the wall — but that’s all it is.” 

Writing the album became a way to explore the feelings of influence and identity. 

Best work yet 

“When you’re in your formative years, you’re inspired by everything — musicians, your mum, your dad, a sports star. You absorb it all, churn it up inside you, and spit it out as something new.

“Something individual. That’s what I wanted this album to be — a celebration of individuality.” 

It’s a typically chaotic afternoon when I’m finally connected to Yungblud, who’s grinning from the back seat of a cab. “I’m on my way to Paris,” he says in his unmistakable Yorkshire drawl.

“The album’s blown up in France, so I’ve got to go give the French a bit of love.” 

As we speak, he’s weaving through queues at St Pancras International, waving and shouting “Bonjour!” to fans who clock him mid-call. “I’m always on me travels or something,” he says with a laugh. “But I’m vibing.” 

Idols is Yungblud’s best work yet — the first half of a double concept album he started writing four years ago, just after Weird! topped the album charts. 

“I was dissuaded from doing Idols after Weird! because Weird! was so commercially successful,” he says. “I went and worked with a load of songwriters — and when you do that, you’ve got seven people a week telling you what Yungblud should do next. I had to figure that out for myself.” 

“I didn’t want to make vapid songs that sound great on the radio. Yeah, we’ve got a couple of f**king radio bangers on this record, but I wanted to make one album that’s a through line — classic and timeless.

“There’s no gimmicks, man. None. This is me leaving everything on the table, showing the world what I can do.

“That’s why I orchestrated everything. I did everything I could to make it as deep and five-dimensional — lyrically and musically — as I possibly could.” 

I’ve had a strange relationship with the internet because the polarisation of people loving me so hard and hating me is not a stable ground to walk. You never know when you’re about to step on a landmine.

Yungblud has always been open about the critics who’ve tried to tear him down. 

“When you’re 19, from the north, full of spunk, writing songs about hating Brexit, and you get way bigger than you ever expected, the mainstream starts making you insecure about things you didn’t even know about yourself,” he says.

“I’ve had a strange relationship with the internet because the polarisation of people loving me so hard and hating me is not a stable ground to walk.

“You never know when you’re about to step on a landmine.

“People have questioned my authenticity and I’m not going to lie, it did get to me. It would be easier to just bullsh*t everyone.” 

That search for something real led him back home. Yungblud decamped to Leeds, just a few miles from where he grew up, to write and record Idols. 

“I needed to go back north, to family,” he says. “Because when you write a record with family, they don’t give a f**k about hits, they don’t give a fk about radio.

“All I want is the truth out here. My mum will tell me when I’ve been a dick.” 

Epic rock opera 

On his journey of reclaiming his self-belief, Yungblud wrote Hello Heaven, Hello, a nine-minute epic rock opera that opens Idols. 

“It was the last song I wrote for the album,” he tells me. “I needed this bridge between the past and now.

“It starts shy and unsure like ‘Do you love me or do you hate me?’ and then takes you on this journey of self-reclamation. It wasn’t meant to be nine minutes long.” 

Inspired by Britpop, Yungblud sees Idols as a celebration of British music. 

“I’ve been all over the world and spent a lot of time in America, but for this album I needed to come home,” he says.

“I love British music, British art — and I’m so happy to be British. I don’t think there’s enough British music at the forefront of the British music industry right now, so I wanted to make a record that sounded unmistakably British.” 

I love Irish music too — poets and lyricists like Thin Lizzy, Bob Geldof and Shane MacGowan.

He grew up on his dad’s favourites — The Stone Roses, Cast, Oasis — while his grandad introduced him to Led Zeppelin, T. Rex and The Beatles.

“I found The Verve myself,” he adds. “And I really lean on people like Richard Ashcroft — as well as Bowie and Bono, even though he’s Irish. It’s music from this side of the world.

“I love Irish music too — poets and lyricists like Thin Lizzy, Bob Geldof and Shane MacGowan.” 

The hauntingly poignant Zombie is central to Idols — a powerful ballad inspired by the death of Yungblud’s beloved grandma after her battle with alcoholism. Its equally moving video stars Hollywood actress Florence Pugh. 

“Zombie came out because of my grandma,” he says. “She passed from alcohol addiction, and it was one of the hardest things to watch.

“She was such a glamorous, beautiful woman who inspired me. Full of life. My grandma and grandad were the main characters in our family — and now they’ve both passed, Christmas ain’t ever the same.” 

“I wrote Zombie because watching someone you love silently suffer and deteriorate is devastating. The nurses who cared for her were amazing — a huge inspiration for the song.” 

Pugh plays a nurse in the emotional video. 

“I sent her a DM and asked, and she was into it,” he grins. “When you’ve got one of those blue ticks, it does a lot.” 

Night to remember 

“I think the NHS is the single greatest asset we’ve got in this country, and I wanted to show that. It’s a love letter to nurses and I needed a great British artist to tell the story with truth and authenticity. That was Florence.” 

They wrapped the shoot with a night out to remember. 

“We celebrated by necking ten pints of Guinness each at an Irish pub — with a sausage roll and a bag of chips. We didn’t go to some Mayfair bar.” 

Yungblud has openly discussed his struggles with anxiety and ADHD, and two years ago started boxing as a way to manage his mental health and body image issues. 

“I needed to take control of my life as I had turned to alcohol and food — I was binging,” he reveals. “I was doing anything to avoid having to face myself.

“When you’re in the public eye, you become insecure about things you don’t know about because someone has said it. Is that what people think of me? 

“So, I got sober for eight months and started boxing. I worked on my relationship with food. I managed to find a sense of self-love and I have really found my confidence.

“It’s so easy when you are a rockstar to be bored at 10 in the morning, so you crack open a beer.

“Or when you’re on tour and walk into a dressing room where there’s a bottle of whisky, a bottle of champagne and three bottles of wine.

“If you don’t have anything to do, you open one and before you know it you’ve drunk half a bottle of whisky before you’ve gone on stage. It’s a really easy thing to fall into. 

“Now I can have a couple of pints on the weekend or with my Sunday dinner, but I can’t go off the rails as I’ve got to get up in the morning for training.

I’m in a period of my life where I’m really enjoying exploring my masculinity. I’m enjoying saying to the world that I’m a f**king man.” 

“I’ll go out and get battered once a week, to blow off steam, but I can’t do it more than that because of my boxing.” 

Reflecting on where he’s at right now, Yungblud says: “I’m in a period of my life where I’m really enjoying exploring my masculinity. I’m enjoying saying to the world that I’m a f**king man.” 

He adds: “It’s hard for young lads at the moment, especially with Andrew Tate’s ideas floating about.

“We’ve got to look after them — teach them there’s a compassionate, caring, emotional side to masculinity.

“If they fall through the cracks, it’s going to be a dark generation.” 

Emotionally, Yungblud is still drawn to one person, American musician and actor Jesse Jo Stark, who Yungblud confesses is the “love of my life” but had to pause their relationship because of his personal struggles. 

“I needed to go away and work on myself as a man, as I’ve been doing this job since I was 18 and needed to grow.

“We talk every Sunday. I really hope we can work it out as she’s a queen, but we need to work on the foundations of the relationship before we jump back in.

“It’s really hard to navigate this life when there are 10 million people in a relationship of two.” 

I do things my way 

Next weekend, Yungblud’s very own one-day music festival returns to Milton Keynes Bowl.

Curated and headlined by the singer, Bludfest launched in 2024 as a protest against inflated ticket prices — he keeps tickets capped at £49.50 to stay affordable and inclusive. 

“It’s great because I get to do things my way,” he says. “No one backed us at first.

“We had to bow our heads and tip our caps to all the promoters who didn’t think it was going to work. I had to compromise a lot — but we still got 30,000 people to Milton Keynes.” 

This year’s show will feature a fresh setlist packed with new material.

“I’m going to play Hello, Lovesick Lullaby, Zombie and probably Ghosts and Monday Murder from the new album.

“We’re going to have fun with it. I’m bringing out some mates and we’re going to celebrate.

“I’m so proud of Lola Young and how far she’s come — she was at Bludfest last year,” says Yungblud. 

“This year we’ve got Rachel Chinouriri playing, and I’m excited about her, too. There’s so much music I love right now.

“Sam Fender — he’s a new classic artist, someone who’ll still be playing when he’s 70. Same with Lewis Capaldi and Fontaines D.C. I love what the Fontaines are doing.

“They are really cool. And I’m a big fan of Amyl And The Sniffers. There’s a new, exciting culture of rock music happening at the minute and I’m buzzing about it.” 

Idols is out on June 20 and Bludfest takes place on Saturday, June 21 at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes.

RACHEL Reeves yesterday admitted she has no clue where Channel migrants will go instead of hotels.

The Chancellor has vowed to scrap their “costly” use within four years as part of her spending review — but could not say what would replace them.

When pressed, she passed the buck to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper[/caption]

Pressed on where arrivals would be housed, she passed the buck to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

Ms Reeves told Times Radio: “Well, I’m not going to be providing accommodation.

“That’s for the Home Office to do.

“But the wasteful spending on the most expensive form of accommodation is a terrible use of taxpayers’ money.”

Reports emerged last night claiming the Home Office is quietly buying up hotels to house asylum seekers.

The move allows Labour to claim it is “ending” their use while still spending billions.

The Guido Fawkes blog said hotels in Bristol and Cardiff would be reclassified as “normal” migrant accommodation.

Home Office sources strongly denied it.

RIOTERS have lobbed bottles and petrol bombs at cops with blazes springing up in Northern Ireland as a fourth night of carnage erupts.

Police barricades are blocking roads amid another night of disorder – as families are left hiding in wardrobes and attics in fear of the violence.

So far, stones and bottles have been thrown and bins set on fire after being dragged into the streets of Portadown – which is an hour away from where the riots began on Monday.

A police spokesperson warned they “will not tolerate a repeat of the scenes” seen over the last few nights.

PSNI chief constable Jon Boutcher described the rioting as “wanton, disgraceful criminal behaviour that is absolutely race motivated”.

He said: “I want to send a very clear message to all our diverse communities: we stand absolutely shoulder to shoulder with you. We are here to protect you.

“We are your police service, and these bigots and racists will not win the day.”

Cops earlier decried the mass carnage as “racist thuggery”.

They’ve called in reinforcements to keep the peace, with 80 extra officers from Scotland coming over.

Violence originally erupted in Ballymena on Monday, stemming from an initially peaceful gathering to support a girl and her family after an alleged sexual assault.

Two 14-year-old boys appeared in court charged with attempted rape on Monday.

A third man, 28, was also arrested over the alleged sexual assault.

The boys confirmed their names – which cannot be reported – and their ages through a Romanian interpreter at Coleraine Magistrates’ Court.

But within hours of their court appearance, disorder broke out in Co Antrim.

Northern Ireland’s Chief Constable said that the girl’s family are “mortified” at the rioting.

“Let’s stop it now, Everybody wants it to stop” he said.

“I reiterate the retraumatising of this poor girl, she’s been through enough through what happened to her on Saturday evening. She doesn’t want any of this.

“I know the family are mortified. I’ve spoken to them personally, they’ve asked me to make this plea.

Fireworks, bricks and petrol bombs have all been hurled at cops in recent days[/caption]

“So for all of you listening, for people who have any sort of responsibility or charge over people who have been doing this awful disorder, get them to desist, stop it.

“It’s not helping anyone. It’s certainly not helping your community.”

Families in the town of Ballymena, Co Antrim have been forced to flee their homes as the riots continue.

Residents in Portadown, County Armagh, were warned tonight that demonstrations are being “directed towards migrants, foreign nationals, and what (is) perceived as deviant behaviour”.

A letter urged locals to secure their property and belongings, and to stay elsewhere if possible.

Earlier in the week, crowds set fire to piles of furniture in the middle of the streets, homes were set alight, and multiple cars went up in flames.

Footage showed masked and hooded rioters lobbing petrol bombs, fireworks and bricks at cops trying to calm the unrest on Tuesday.

Officers fired baton rounds and water cannon in a desperate bid to keep the mobs at bay.

Yesterday, a leisure centre in Larne came under attack after it emerged some foreign families escaping the chaos were being temporarily housed there.

In total, 41 officers have been injured in the chaos – with the force even describing a hatchet being chucked at them.

Many residents have placed posters in their windows identifying themselves as British to avoid being targeted. Union Jack flags were also prominently displayed.

A hand-written note in one window read: “British residents.”

The PSNI said: “At this time, all incidents are being treated as racially-motivated hate crimes.

“We absolutely condemn these disgraceful attacks on our minority ethnic friends and neighbours.

“Those responsible are endangering not only the lives of those inside the properties, but putting themselves at risk of injury.”

Earlier today, three teenagers appeared in court charged with rioting offences. There have been 15 arrests in total.

MOUSSA DEMBELE is perhaps best known for being the toughest opponent your favourite player has ever faced – or the player who was the best any ex-Spurs star has ever seen.

So when he was announced to be playing at the O2 Arena alongside Mario Balotelli, Ravel Morrison and John Arne Riise, fans came flocking.

The former pros lined up against KSI, Chunkz, George Clarkey and more in what was a spectacular Legends vs Influencers match decided by Niko Omilana missing a crucial penalty.

SunSport’s LLOYD CANFIELD rated the legendary players performances…

JENS LEHMANN – 1

Unfortunately age catches up with all of us, and it seems to have done so with once-invincible goalkeeper.

Failed to stop a number of shots that he got a hand to, but the 55-year-old was simply too slow to react to most of them – though one admittedly was a screamer from EmanSV2.

PASCAL CHIMBONDA – 5

Didn’t blow any minds with his performance, but wasn’t really poor either.

Pretty standard showing from the Barclaysman defender who would’ve been a blast from the past for most watching.

Getty

John Arne Riise still has the power to impress[/caption]

BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK

JOHN ARNE RIISE – 10

Wow! He’s still got that left foot rocket in his locker, let’s just say that.

Hit the crossbar with a thunderbolt from range which alerted the keeper, before crashing home a screamer in the dying moments to level the scoring and send the game to penalties.

Textbook Riise – Liverpool can save themselves a pretty penny on signing Milos Kerkez and just bring this beast back instead.

LUKE CHAMBERS – 5

Much the same as Pascal Chimbonda, Chambers didn’t really stand out what so ever and was largely overshadowed by the bigger names on the pitch.

Mostly forgettable.

JAY-JAY OKOCHA – 7

Scored a classy header that was unfortunately ruled out by the referee, it was the same Okocha we saw against Arsenal all those years ago – just much older.

A legend of the game who still gave it his all and tried to entertain the crowd with a few silky touches and delicate passes.

Didn’t have the pace or engine he once possessed, but still impressed overall.

MOUSSA DEMBELE – 9

The man of the moment looked like he still had it, running the show in the middle of the park for his time.

You could still see echoes of the player he once was, impossible to get the ball away from and such a powerful presence with the ball at his feet.

Dominated for large parts of the game and still had the silky feet and ability to pick a pass that he always had.

Getty

Hollywood A-lister Will Smith was a big presence on the sidelines[/caption]

RAVEL MORRISON – 5

The ex-Manchester United wonderkid probably would’ve had a better rating were it not for the brilliance either side of him.

Good on the ball and came close with a header that was flicked towards goal.

Didn’t blow anyone’s socks off, but it was a solid performance from the former Red Devil.

LEE TRUNDLE – 4

The highlight of his showing was sending KSI tumbling to the floor after a collision, but it must be said he gave it his all pulling off some of his trademark skills.

The Football League cult hero was an entertaining watch, but didn’t seem to have the end product or cutting edge he needed to get the better of the Influencer defenders all that often.

MARIO BALOTELLI – 8

The man that most were excited to see, it was just a pleasure to see Super Mario back on the pitch with a ball at his feet.

The ex-Liverpool and Manchester City striker still had a bit too, with some silky touches and passes, and a goal to boot!

There was no trademark celebration or boasting from a man who has clearly matured since his playing days – but a showing more reminiscent of a classy Italian midfielder.

Stuck around and took pictures with fans and players alike, which was lovely to see.

A DISGRACED married teacher who allegedly hosted Scream mask orgies with teenage boys has been forced to sell her home.

Mother-of-four Brittany Fortinberry, 31 is accused of making teenagers as young as 13 have group sex with her at her Indiana home.

Brittany Fortinberry has been accused of sexual abuse of children as young as 13[/caption]

Her husband Nicholas has filed for divorce and the couple can no longer afford their monthly payments for the home, according to the New York Post.

The house was allegedly the site of her sick sex exploits and a stripper pole and sex toys were found inside.

Court documents claim that the former Eminence High School teacher groomed at least 10 boys – some as young as 13 – through gifts, manipulation, and disturbing sexual advances.

The math teacher from Indiana has been accused of sexual abuse of children as young as 13 with claims that she made them wear “Scream” masks and an orgy and “dreamed” about having sex with them.

One of the children told police that Fortinberry spent $600 on him and other boys at the mall and then had them wear the masks from the horror movie while she sexually abused them.

She met her alleged victims at two different Morgan County schools in 2024.

The teacher allegedly told the victims she would kill herself if they reported the abuse, charging documents claim.

One accuser harrowingly told cops that if they did not want to have sex with her, she would allegedly rape them and say, “Just let it happen” while also forcing them to watch as she abused the others.

To lure the children in and manipulate them, the Indiana educator allegedly showered the boys with expensive football gifts and plied them with drugs put into their food, according to Fox 59.

Even the sick teacher’s home was allegedly set up for her depraved activities with cops finding a stripper pole and sex toys.

The teacher is now facing more charges from prosecutors relating to five more alleged victims bringing the number of accusers up to six.

Prosecutors told TMZ that they are preparing to file 24 more felony charges against the teacher including five counts of Level 1 child molestation.

This would bring the 31-year-old’s felony charges up to 29.

As well as child molestation, she will face charges of sexual misconduct with a minor, dissemination of matter harmful to minors, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

If convicted just of the Level 1 molestation charges against her, Fortinberry could face between 20 and 40 years behind bars for each count.

This could lead to a life sentence if the judge ruled that the sentences would be served consecutively, the prosecutor said.

If found guilty of all counts, depending on her sentencing it is likely she will die behind bars.

Her husband Nicholas Fortinberry is also facing charges of intimidation and failure to report a crime for allegedly knowing about the abuse and threatening the boys to keep quiet.

The 31-year-old’s husband allegedly threatened to “slaughter” one of the victims in front of his family if he spoke out.

Detectives believe that at least 10 victims may have been targeted by Fortinberry over the years.

Authorities began investigating her in August 2024 after a 15-year-old’s grandmother reported that she had molested him, sent nude photos, and drugged him.

Since then, several more alleged victims have spoken out, with one saying he came forward because he didn’t want Fortinberry to “molest more kids.”

The teacher resigned from Eminence High School the day after the first allegations surfaced.

Fortinberry had been hired as a substitute teacher for Martinsville Schools on October 24, 2023.

She is being held without bond with a jury trial set for June 25 in Morgan Superior Court.

LORRAINE Kelly showed off her real bikini body on her breakfast TV show.

The star host was discussing the worries regarding beauty filters on photographs and how they can be used to digitally manipulate and alter how people look.

She was discussing beauty filters as she compared how she’d look with editing[/caption]

Lorraine, 65, was discussing the subject with Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter, Emily, who is known for her body positivity on social media.

And the segment led to Lorraine showing off her own ‘real’ bikini body in which she admitted: “I’ve got a belly!”

The star showed off her skin in the white two-piece snap taken as she took a dip in a swimming pool during a recent holiday getaway.

In order to demonstrate just how easy it is to edit images, a side-by-side image of Lorraine’s real body next to her altered bikini snap was flashed up on the screen.

The edited image heavily slimmed down the star and added more definition to her stomach area as well as a much fuller bust and smoother skin.

Laughing at the changes, Lorraine squawked: “It just shows you what you can do now.

“It depends on what you’re using it for. They did it with me, and I looked at it, and I actually laughed!

“I thought, crikey!”

Looking back at the unedited image, Lorraine quipped: “That’s more kind of normal, I’ve got a belly, who hasn’t?”

The ITV star is no stranger to stripping off and regularly wears just a bikini for an open-water swim.

In December last year, she proudly flaunted her figure as she took a dip in the cold Scottish sea.

Her wild swim came as she celebrated the success of her novel, The Island Swimmer.

It’s superstar lead singer Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, one of the most beloved bands of the 2000s and the 2010s.

US media personality Trisha, who appeared on CBB UK back in 2017, looked chuffed to be meeting the singer and shared the photo with her fans.

One follower wrote: “OMG I LOVE THIS FOR YOU.”

A second posted: “You manifested it, envision it and the universe brought it to you.”

A third said: “TRISHA THIS IS SO MAJOR.”

Gerard first began singing when he was in fourth grade, after taking on the role of Peter Pan in a school musical production.

Deciding to pursue a career in the comic-book industry, he studied Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Gerard later founded and fronted My Chemical Romance between 2001 and 2013, before the band reformed in 2019 with a tour sadly cut short by the COVID Pandemic.

The band is known for its distinctive pop punk style, which went on to earn them a legion of dedicated fans.

Albums like Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge would go on to become platinum and sell millions of copies.

Outside of his hit music career, Gerard is a prolific comic book writer.

He began writing the Umbrella Academy comics in 2007.

He made it his mission to write the story and to illustrate them as well.

Later another artist took on the illustration for the published comic books.

The first official issue of The Umbrella Academy was released in 2007.

To date, Gerard has created six issues for the comic book series and he has lead writing credit for The Umbrella Academy series.

The new series of the Umbrella Academy is set to land on Netflix on August 8, 2024.

Is Gerard Way married?

The iconic music artist and writer is married to Lindsey Way also known as Lyn-Z.

Lyn-Z was the bassist of the American punk band Mindless Self Indulgence.

The pair got married backstage following one of Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution shows in Colorado on September 3, 2007.

President Donald Trump insists he wants to avoid conflict while warning that Israel could strike Iran soon as nuclear talks with Tehran remain deadlocked.

President Donald Trump ripped Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell as a “numbskull” overnight Thursday as he turned up the heat on the central bank chief to lower interest rates.
