I spruced up my bland decking & gave it va-va-voom for summer with a HUGE Temu buy you can nab for just £8 down from £50

A YOUNG woman has shared how she gave her bland decking a mega makeover, without having to break the bank.

So if you want to spruce up your outside space but don’t have much cash to splash, then you’ve come to the right place.

Amy Betsie, a content creator from the UK, was able to transform her decking thanks to a bargain buy from Temu.

And while she paid £50 for the luxe product, it has now been reduced down to less than £9 – yes, you heard that correctly.

Posting on social media, Amy gave her followers a close-up look at her garden, before and after its makeover.

Not only did she hoover her decking to get rid of leaves in an instant, but she also added colour with a huge geometric rug.

She said: “So as per usual, I have to go in and tidy up the garden like I have to do weekly, because that tree is the bane of my life.

“I am so not ready for the bee loving people to come into my comments and tell me how much they love nature and bees.

“You might love nature, but I don’t love that tree – I love it to look at, I don’t love it to tidy up every single week. 

“Honestly, it sheds all year round – summer, winter, spring and autumn. It is a joke.”

Amy then questioned: “Does anybody else hoover their garden by the way? I feel like if you’ve got decking, it’s a necessity to hoover your garden.”

Following this, the brunette held up her purse-friendly find as she beamed: “So this is the rug. I got it from Temu. 

“It was between £50 and £60 which I think was a bargain because the size of it is absolutely huge.

“It takes up the majority of my garden and I just feel like with my garden, because it’s completely decked, it’s so bland.”

8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden

Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots.

Tricyrtis

A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is “as tough as old boots!”.

Penstemon

I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They’ll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.

Luzula sylvatica ‘Marginata’

With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it’s great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill – dry shade.

Eryngium x zabelii ‘Big Blue’

A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant’s interest period.

Sarcococca hookeriana ‘Winter Gem’

If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.

Cornus sanguinea ‘Anny’s Winter Orange’

A dwarf version of ‘Midwinter Fire’ the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.

Rosa ‘Noisette Carnee’

A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, “noisette” flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.

Sanguisorba hakusanensis ‘Lilac Squirrel’

I’ve never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.

As she showed off her garden, which she completed with some rattan furniture, she continued: “So I decided to get this just to spruce it up and give it that little bit of a va-va-voom, which I think it absolutely did.”

Thrilled with her rug, the gardening enthusiast shared: “It is stunning.”

Whilst the exact rug Amy bought has now been discontinued, there are a number of strikingly similar geometric rugs that have been reduced on the Temu website.

That rug is gorgeous

TikTok user

While some of the reversible outdoor rugs were once priced at £151, £50, £44 and £21, the cheapest option is now just £8.91, which we think is a real bargain

Such rugs are great for adding style to a decking or patio, without breaking the bank.

The outdoor rugs are said to be “lightweight and portable”, “easy to clean” and are even suitable for picnics in the park too. 

Not only does Amy’s decking now look fabulous, but it’s perfect for hosting events with friends and family – and we’re sure any eagle-eyed neighbours will love it too. 

Social media users react

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @amy_betsie, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 40,900 views, 356 likes and 24 comments. 

Social media users were impressed with Amy’s bargain buy and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. 

Garden features that add the most value to a house

A well-kept garden can add anywhere between 5-20% to the value of a property.

Sellhousefast.uk carried out a study and consulted 36 estate agents, garden designers and property professionals from across the UK.

And the experts revealed the garden feature which adds the most value to a property is a shed. 

  1. Shed – 82%
  2. Patio or paving – 76%
  3. Secure fencing, walls or gates – 72%
  4. Outdoor lighting – 66%
  5. Sturdy decking – 62%
  6. Water features eg. fountain or pond – 58%
  7. Modern garden furniture – 54%
  8. Artificial lawn/grass – 40%

One person said: “Love it.” 

Another added: “That rug is gorgeous.” 

Whilst a third commented: “Always hoovering my deck and outdoor rugs!”

Full tragic timeline of 3-week hunt for Pheobe Bishop – from airport disappearance to housemate arrests and horror find

PHEOBE Bishop mysteriously vanished over three weeks ago in a gripping disappearance case which puzzled the world.

The shocking story has been plagued by grim twists and heartbreaking pleas after the 17-year-old teenager went missing near an airport on May 15.

Her heartbroken mum made an emotional series of posts over the last three weeks[/caption] Timeline of Phoebe's disappearance and investigation.

Before she disappeared, Pheobe had been living in the town of Gin Gin, which is north of Brisbane in Australia.

The sleepy neighbourhood has a population of about 1,100 people.

The teenager had been living in a derelict pad – which had a foul smell and was very noisy according to neighbours.

She lived there with two housemates: James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33.

On the day she went missing, Pheobe was meant to board a flight to see her boyfriend in Western Australia.

Her housemates drove her to Bundaberg airport, but police said CCTV there never even saw her enter the terminal and she never actually checked in.

She was on her way to Perth to visit her “high-school sweetheart” boyfriend.

Pheobe reportedly made a last minute call to him at 8:30am mere moments before she was set to get on the flight to Western Australia.

A family member said: “She didn’t check in for her flight to visit her boyfriend who she spoke to on the phone at 8.30am.”

According to the Daily Mail, Wood said the couple had an explosive argument in the car with Pheobe over whether she could do her makeup before arriving at the airport.

He said they pulled over just under a kilometre from their destination.

Wood and Bromley then allegedly walked off and were away from Pheobe and the car for five minutes, according to the 34-year-old.

A missing person’s report was issued for her one day later on May 16.

Her worried sick sister, Kaylea Bishop, sent Wood and Bromley a simple text, demanding to know the whereabouts of her sibling.

She said: “Where is my sister?”

On the following weekend, her desperate mum Kylie Johnson made emotional pleas for anyone with information to come forward.

By May 18, over 400 missing person posters with Pheobe’s photo had been plastered across the Wide Bay region.

The next week, on Monday May 19, police launched their search for Pheobe.

It covered land along Bundaberg’s Airport Drive and the surrounding areas.

But mysteriously, police didn’t find any sign of the teen or her belongings.

Police, along with Pheobe’s mum, described her disappearance as out of character on May 20.

They also asked the public for information about the 2011 grey Hyundai ix35 hatch, owned by Bromley, that had been seen around Airport Drive at the time of Pheoebe’s disappearance.

The next day, police updated the case and said they were treating Pheobe’s disappearance as a suspicious.

They also declared two crime scenes – one being the run-down home she was living at, and the other being the infamous Hyundai she was driven to the airport in.

After inspecting the foul-smelling home, police found four dead dogs rotting inside.

But it was later understood that these four pups died of natural causes.

Airport Drive, Samuels Road and Gin Gin were also named as locations of interest.

On May 22, Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson stressed the importance of public information.

In a chilling plea, he said: “People don’t vanish.”

The day after that, police revealed they were searching through bushland and waterways at Good Night Scrub National Park, near to where Pheobe was last seen.

This scan went on for the next two days, during which police dogs joined the hunt.

On May 25 Bromley was arrested in a major twist after police allegedly found weapons in her silver Hyundai.

On May 26, the search area was expanded – before cops made a harrowing revelation.

They believed evidence had been moved from the Good Night Scrub area before they arrived there.

And on this same day, a new number plate was discovered to have been suspiciously painted and taped over the notorious Hyundai’s original plate.

The gruelling search effort in Good Night Scrub National Park then continued from May 27 for five more days.

Disturbingly, the search appeared to lose hope as police said they would no longer be doing any more physical scans for Pheobe on Wednesday, June 4.

They said they would restart any searches only when they had relevant information.

But in a dramatic twist on the very same day – Pheobe’s housemate Wood was arrested.

However, no charges were made and he was released a day later on June 5.

And in yet another turn in the tale – Wood and Bromley were then both arrested and charged with murder on the same day Wood was released – exactly three weeks after Pheobe went missing.

They were each charged with one count of murder and two counts of interfering with a corpse.

Shocking footage released on Friday showed the moment police arrested Wood and escorted him out of an RV for the “homicide of Pheobe Bishop”.

Both Wood and Bromley appeared at Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday morning.

Outside the building, Pheobe’s heartbroken sister Kaylea Bishop said her sibling was “loved and missed” dearly.

Kaylea and Pheobe had a close relationship and were planning to move in together last year.

And in the latest heartbreaking update, human remains were found during a search for Pheobe.

They are yet to be identified, but police have spoken to Pheobe’s family regarding the harrowing discovery.

The body was found close to Good Night Scrub National Park, near Gin Gin, on Friday, June 6 at around 2:30pm.

Pheobe’s mum then made a heartbreaking statement.

She said: “I didn’t think my heart could break anymore than it did when you went missing, or when the charges were laid but this.

“This is ripping me apart.”

Pheobe had previously said online that she wasn’t living with her mum, and that she had been “in and out” of home for years.

Cops are now set to allege that Wood, Bromley and Pheobe were all in the car when it arrived at Airport Drive near Bundaberg Airport in the morning of May 15.

They believe that the trio never actually left the car.

Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield said: “Our evidence will outline the fact that three people arrived near to the airport, and three people never exited that vehicle.”

Wood and Bromley will appear in court on August 11.

‘We want it’ – Sadiq Khan tells WWE legend Triple H to bring WrestleMania to London for first time ever

LONDON MAYOR Sadiq Khan continues to push WWE to bring WrestleMania to the British capital.

British WWE fans have been wanting professional wrestling’s biggest show to come to the UK for decades.

WWE chief content officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque suggested he is open to bringing WrestleMania to London.

And Khan, 54, is working rigorously to bring Mania outside of North America for the first time in the show’s 40-plus-year history.

The UK has some of the most hardcore WWE fans around the world and London has hosted a series of major premium live events, including Money in the Bank in 2023 and SummerSlam in 1992.

The mayor wants to make the pro wrestling enthusiasts’ dream a reality and has held talks with WWE chief content officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, who previously suggested he is open to the prospect.

And he made one more major call to Triple H urging him to bring the Show of Shows across the Pond to the “sporting capital”.

London has hosted a number of major sporting events throughout the years, including Champions League finals, NFL matches and of course the 2012 Olympics.

Khan told CNBC: “I’d love for WrestleMania to come to London.

“Triple H if you’re watching, we want WrestleMania to come to London.

“If WrestleMania came to London, my message to the team there is that we wouldn’t just have a great weekend, we’d have a festival, of you know, legends in WrestleMania coming to London, current stars, but also future stars as a well.

“It will open a completely new market for them as well.

“I think the potential has not been reached in terms of WrestleMania.

“We are the sporting capital, in my view, of the world. And if WrestleMania wants to expand, the obvious place to come is London.”

Love Island casting comes under fire AGAIN after it’s revealed star had TikTok account where he ‘secretly films women’

AXED Love Island hunk Kyle Ashman took part in “misogynistic” videos with a pal where they secretly filmed women.

The lad was struck from the dating show line-up earlier this week after it was revealed that he had been held and questioned by police over a machete attack at a wake.

Now it has been revealed that he had a joint TikTok and YouTube page with a friend called Fin Musker.

Whilst the joint pages have been wiped of content, a source has told The Sun that the videos involved them “picking up girls and filming them without knowledge”.

The source added that the videos “displayed misogynistic behaviour towards women”. 

Some content still online shows Fin and Kyle out on the town, kissing women and speaking to them in bars. 

When approached about the videos, Kyle did not wish to comment. 

It raises further question marks about ITV’s vetting process for its reality shows.

Earlier this week Kyle was sent packing from Majorca after The Sun alerted show bosses that he had been arrested on suspicion of a machete attack and was only cleared by police last month – meaning he would’ve been in discussion with authorities whilst auditioning for Love Island.

ITV chiefs sent him home from Majorca, plunging the show into chaos ahead of Monday’s launch.

A source said: “All of the online content had been cleared so may not have come up on surface level checks, but for this kind of show far deeper trawls should be in place. 

“ITV has steered clear of OnlyFans stars in the past and Kyle’s link to one – particularly taking part in joint content of a misogynistic nature – is surely not in keeping with Love Island being a family show.”

ITV declined to comment.

Ashman, 23, was one of two quizzed over a brutal machete attack at a wake in Stafford in February but was released with no further action.

Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks.

The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept in for around two weeks.

Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club.

Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed.

Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month.

Speaking after he was axed from the show, he said: “I’m not a bad guy, honestly. I’m a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love and I grabbed it with both hands, and it’s been taken away from me.

“I’ve seen the support pages and, who knows, maybe I’ll get the chance to go on Casa Amor or as a bombshell, go back in and show you who I really am. Show you I’m not a bad guy. We’ll see.”

Troubled history of telly hit

By Jonathan Kanengoni

LOVE Island has been hit by a string of controversies since it first aired in 2015.

Malia Arkian lasted just three hours before she was marched out by security in its second year after pushing co-contestant Kady McDermott for spilling wine on her.

Sherif Lanre was booted off after nine days in 2019.

He had made a vile joke after accidentally kicking fan fave Molly-Mae Hague in the crotch during a play fight.

In the same year Women’s Aid complained of contestant Joe Garratt’s “abusive” behaviour towards on-screen partner Lucie Donlan.

She broke down in tears after he told her to stay away from the other lads.

Ollie Williams left after three days in 2020 when he realised he still had feelings for his ex.

But his exit came amid mounting pressure on bosses to remove him after pictures of him allegedly trophy hunting came to light.

Salesman Haris Namani was dumped in 2023 after The Sun revealed footage of him in a street brawl.

The show has also been accused of failing to look after islanders’ mental health when filming stops.

Sophie Gradon took her own life, aged 32, two years after she appeared on Love Island 2016.

And Mike Thalassitis’s suicide in 2019, at 26, prompted calls for better after-care by reality shows.

In 2022, watchdog Ofcom received 3,600 complaints in a week over alleged misogynistic behaviour by some of the male contestants.

And this year it received thousands of complaints about All Stars contestant Elma Pazar’s bullying of Ekin- Su Culculoglu during a row.

Total outsider enters the running to be 007 as Hollywood star lands new James Bond voiceover job

A TOTAL outsider has entered the running to be 007 as the Hollywood star lands a new James Bond voiceover job.

Speculation over who will replace Daniel Craig in the iconic role has been heating up for months but fans think they have worked it out.

IO Interactive in collaboration with Amazon eMGM Studios, have officially unveiled 007 First Light.

Which is a new, standalone, story-driven action-adventure game offering a fresh reimagining of James Bond’s origins.

It is set for release in 2026, and will be available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

And Patrick Gibson from Dexter: Original Sin has been cast as the voice of 007 in the new computer game.

Fans are therefore convinced he will go on to play Bond in the cinema.

Taking to social media one Bond fan said: “The new James Bond is 100% played by Patrick Gibson.

“He’s an Irish actor who I know as playing Dexter in Dexter: Original Sin.”

Another added: “Unless I’m mistaken, our new game Bond is being played by Patrick Gibson.

“Another Irish Bond in the bag, can’t argue with that!

“Also… the scar down the cheek from the books, FINALLY!!!”

A third exclaimed: “Patrick Gibson as James Bond?!? This is peak casting.”

“100% played by Patrick Gibson AKA Dexter Morgan,” added another.

Another fan said: ” So James Bond is definitely played by Patrick Gibson from Dexter Original Sin.”

““Hello, James Bond. Morgan. Dexter Morgan,” agreed another.

All the stars lined up for James Bond

Ever since Daniel Craig quit, 007 fans have been keen to know who will step into his tux - here's the major players in the race.

  • Aaron Taylor-Johnson
  • Theo James
  • Patrick Schwarzenegger
  • Tom Holland
  • Henry Cavill
  • James Norton
  • Tom Hardy
  • Harris Dickinson
  • Patrick Gibson

While another excited Bond fan exclaimed: “So not only am I getting a new Bond game I AM GETTING PATRICK GIBSON AS JAMES BOND! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF ALL THE DAYS!”

007 First Light follows a young 26-year-old old Bond straight out of the Royal Navy, as he embarks on his origin story to earn his Double-O and the Licence to Kill that comes with it.

Irish actor, Patrick, 30, is best known for playing the young Dexter Morgan in Dexter: Original Sin but he has also featured in The Tudors, Shadow and Bone and the film Tolkien.

However, whether he will go on to play Bond in his cinematic role remains unknown still.

And many actors are in the running for the career making role.

Theo James’ name was thrown into the hat after he wowed fans in Netflix’s The Gentlemen last year.

His performance in the Guy Ritchie series made him an ideal candidate for the next actor to fill the shoes of 007.

Other names still in the running include Aaron Taylor-Johnson after it was revealed back in 2022 that the Brit had already “filmed a top-secret scene” at Pinewood Studios, Berkshire.

Famed for the Kick-Ass movie series and the Marvel movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, Aaron shot to fame playing John Lennon in Nowhere Boy.

The Sun previously exclusively revealed how Bond bosses had offered the job to Aaron.

And with his quintessential Englishman good looks, James Norton has been a hot contender for the next Bond for many years.

The chiselled star is known for playing the lead role of Sidney Chambers in Grantchester, and also evil Tommy Lee Royce in Happy Valley.

Also in the running is Jack Lowden, known for BBC gangster drama The Gold and the TV hit Slow Horses.

Over the last decade, Black Friday has become a global phenomenon, with thousands of international retailers taking part in the annual sale event.

Many retailers like John Lewis launch Black Friday sales in advance of the official date, so bargain hunters have even longer to find Black Friday deals.

When is Cyber Monday 2025 and is John Lewis taking part?

Cyber Monday falls on December 1, 2025.

It is always on the first Monday immediately after Black Friday and usually concludes the offers for the Cyber Weekend.

Cyber Monday was traditionally the online counterpart to Black Friday.

There has been a shift towards offering deals online throughout November, so Cyber Monday is now considered the end date of most sales.

Retailers like John Lewis will offer discounts right up until midnight, however, some of the most popular items tend to sell out fast.

So you will want to move quickly if you see a bargain you don’t want to miss out on.

How much does John Lewis’ shipping cost?

Standard delivery costs £4.50 on orders under £50, while purchases over £50 are delivered for free.

However, it’s important to note that there are exceptions for larger items like furniture and appliances.

Larger item delivery costs £19.95, with exceptions to large items delivered to non-UK mainland locations.

Next-day and named delivery options are also available, however, prices will differ depending on the size of the item and the time slot selected.

John Lewis also offers a click and collect service – simply select your nearest collection point when you place your order.

Click and Collect is available from John Lewis, Waitrose, and hundreds of other locations.

Does John Lewis offer any other discounts?

If you’re an NHS employee, you can get extra discounts at John Lewis using the Health Service Discounts website.

Students can also save on purchases from the department store via the Student Beans website.

When does the John Lewis Black Friday sale start?

The John Lewis Black Friday sale is set for November, however, the retailer has been known to launch deals ahead of the official sales date.

More and more retailers like John Lewis are choosing to offer early deals, which extends the discount season and gives bargain hunters more time to browse and research offers before checking out.

Remember to research, compare, and track price changes before parting with your cash to ensure you get the best deal available on your purchase.

When does the John Lewis Black Friday sale end?

Cyber Monday is usually an online-only sale event and typically marks the end of the Black Friday deals.

The John Lewis Black Friday sale usually ends at midnight on Cyber Monday, which falls on December 1, 2025.

When do the John Lewis Cyber Monday deals end?

Generally, Black Friday sales tend to last until Cyber Monday – though some do continue long into December.

In theory, Cyber Monday will be the final day of the Black Friday sales.

However, some retailers can be generous and extend their deals.

It’s worth taking a look at the John Lewis website after Cyber Monday to see if any of its discounts are still live.

Wait too long though and you risk missing out on that must-have item you were after, as popular deals sell out quickly.

Do your research before buying to get the best price, but don’t expect further price reductions the longer you wait as the best prices are likely to be had on Black Friday through Cyber Monday.

Does John Lewis have a Price Promise?

Regular John Lewis shoppers will be aware of the retailer’s famous Never Knowingly Undersold pledge.

It means if you find an item for a lower price from one of John Lewis’ rival retailers within seven days of purchasing, John Lewis will refund you the difference.

The store regularly checks prices against its 25 main rivals and requesting your refund is simple, check the John Lewis website for step-by-step price promise instructions.

It’s very straightforward to claim, simply:

  1. Check you qualify for a price promise refund by comparing prices online
  2. Head to the John Lewis website to fill out the form within 7 days of your purchase
  3. If you’re eligible, John Lewis will refund the difference to your original payment method

Reality star, 46, admits agonising wild sex injury – leaving co-stars horrified

REAL Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi made an x-rated revelation in the show’s latest trailer.

The 46-year-old actress is making her return to the RHOC franchise and appeared in the trailer for the 19th season of the Bravo reality show where her and fiance, Slade Smiley, shared a bedroom secret.

The two were chatting with castmate Emily Simpson, when Gretchen tells her, “I broke his penis for real.”

Slade is seen nodding in agreement as Gretchen bends her finger to demonstrate the injury adding, “like this.”

The NSFW confession was quickly replaced with other edits of Gretchen’s RHOC comeback.

She is returning to RHOC as ‘a friend of the show’ and will co-star along fellow housewives, Emily Simpson, Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella.

Elsewhere in the trailer, she appears to be reigniting her feud with Tamra when Emily is seen telling the latter, “Gretchen said you had an affair.”

The trailer also shows the two women going head to head in what seems like an explosive confrontation.

Tamra is seen yelling at Gretchen: “For 12 years you’ve been going after me.”

And Gretchen says back to her: “It’s not the same thing.”

Gretchen first debuted on RHOC in 2008 when she was diagnosed to Jeff Beitzel, but he died from cancer as that season began premiering.

She then met Slade who had previously been engaged to another RHOC star, Jo De La Rosa.

Gretchen proposed to Slade in 2013 and they welcome daughter Skylar five years ago.

Gretchen experienced tragedy in 2023 when her stepson Grayson died from cancer at only 22 years old. She’s also stepmom to Gavin, 32.

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 premieres Thursday, July 10, at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo, and can be streamed the next day on Peacock.

Mum wins £11k payout from Premier League star who ‘helped his brother dodge child support payments to daughter, two’

A MUM has won an £11,000 payout from a Premier League star accused of helping his brother dodge child support payments for his young daughter, she claims.

Chelsea ace Tosin Adarabioyo allegedly funds older brother Fisayo’s extravagant lifestyle, paying for a £2.9million mansion, giving him a monthly income and a credit card to go shopping with.

The Sun snapped photos of flashy Fisayo, 30, a former pro-footballer, carrying a £3,140 Bottega Veneta leather briefcase. 

But despite his millionaire lifestyle, Fisayo has yet to pay a penny towards his two-year-old daughter Anara’s upbringing after telling the Child Maintenance Service he’s skint, it is claimed.

Anara’s struggling mum Nadia Messaoud, 41, who dated Fisayo for a year before they split in 2022, said she was forced to take action after being ignored.

She took civil action against Chelsea defender Tosin for funding his brother while allegedly knowing of his sibling’s obligations.

Legal documents relating to the civil action, seen by The Sun, state: “The defendant (Tosin) has been knowingly providing his older brother, Fisayo Adarabioyo, with an income that is not being declared to HMRC or the child maintenance service.

“This is with the intention to obstruct my daughter’s legal right to obtain child maintenance.

“My child has for the last three years been awarded the nil level of CMS.”

Nadia also alleged that as well as thousands of pounds a month in cash income, Tosin also provides his brother with a credit card to spend on.  

According to Land Registry documents, Tosin, 27, thought to be on £120,000 a week at Chelsea, owns the Cheshire mansion in which Fisayo lives.

The Department of Work and Pensions has awarded unemployed Fisayo a “nil rate” on child support for the past three years because he claims he does not earn enough to pay.

Nadia staged a protest outside Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium last month to raise awareness around her cause.

She wore a vest top and held a sign both of which said: “TOSIN #4 Women Matter, Children Matter, D.A (Domestic Abuse) survivors matter.”

She is backed by domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid.

Fisayo was convicted of harassment without violence in 2022 after turning up at Nadia’s terraced home in Cheshire, banging on her door and leaving her terrified.

He also bombarded her with texts, saying he hoped she miscarried the baby and threatened to kill her.

After allegedly failing to respond to Nadia’s legal claim, his brother Tosin has been ordered by the court to pay her £11,000.

However, Tosin’s legal team told The Sun the order was a “default judgement” made in error “on the part of the court”.

Nadia said: “I’ve not received a penny from Fisayo to help with our daughter, while he’s living a footballer’s lifestyle thanks to his Chelsea playing brother.

“I’ve been rebuffed at every opportunity which is why I decided to take legal action against both of them.

“All I ever wanted was a reasonable level of financial support but Fisayo has claimed poverty. Now I know the truth.

“As a Premier League player Tosin is supposed to be a role model, but his actions have essentially blocked my daughter from receiving the financial support she’s entitled to by law.”

Tosin’s lawyers’ statement added: “The Order arises from a default judgement which has been entered by the Court in a claim issued by Nadia Messaoud against our client (‘the Claim’).

Unfortunately, it would appear that our client’s strike out application has not been properly processed by the Court and it has therefore allowed automatic default judgement to be entered in favour of Ms Messaoud.

“This is a very serious administrative failing on the Court’s part and one which we are addressing with the Court on our client’s behalf.

Inappropriately, she made an application for judgement in default, despite being served with that application.

“Your summary is not a fair and accurate report of anything that has taken place in the Court proceedings.”

They added that as well as “chasing” the court, they have also made an application on their client’s behalf “to have the default judgement order set aside”.

“In summary therefore, the Order which you have seen is subject to an active challenge, and should never
have been issued by the Court in the first place.”

They said the claim is a “pattern of behaviour” by Ms Messaoud “to exert unwanted pressure on our client to provide further funding to her”.

“Our client has no relationship with Ms Messaoud and owes no legal or other duties or obligations to her,” the statement adds.

The Sun has also contacted Fisayo’s lawyer and Chelsea for comment.
