‘Is it really him’ – Arsenal cult hero looks unrecognisable as he holds stein in Munich at Champions League final

ARSENAL cult hero Andrey Arshavin looked unrecognisable holding a stein at the Champions League final in Munich.

The Russian, 44, was in town to watch Paris Saint-Germain’s historic 5-0 win over Inter Milan on Saturday.

Arshavin appeared in good spirits as he toasted the occasion with a beer while also enjoying food with friends – one of whom was former Russia and Hull City manager Leonid Slutsky.

But anyone walking past would have needed to do a double take.

That’s because Arshavin looked hardly recognisable as he kept a low profile in glasses and blue baseball cap.

And Arsenal supporters were left stunned as they questioned whether it really was the same man who lit up north London for over four years.

One fan said: “Oh f*** I can’t actually tell if it’s him or not.”

Another declared: “He looks like a science teacher.”

One noted: “That guy put four past Liverpool, let that sink in.”

Another added: “Imagine seeing him at a beerhall and he’s like, ‘Yeah I played in the Premier League for Arsenal’.”

BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS

It’s not the first time Arshavin threw fans off with his look.

The icon again looked unrecognisable while being spotted in London two years ago, this time pairing some large glasses with a wooly hat.

The 75-time Russia international joined Arsenal in 2009 from Zenit for £15million.

He went on to score 31 goals in 144 outings before returning to Zenit permanently in 2013.

Arshavin ended his football career in 2018 with Kazakhstani side Kairat.

And he has since held a backroom role with Zenit, while also completing his Uefa A Licence earlier this year.

Much-loved shows such as TOWIE and Real Housewives will move to ITV2 as a result of the massive shake-up.

When announcing the move last month, bosses said ITV Quiz will feature the broadcaster’s “market-leading UK quiz and game shows”.

However, eager telly fans have noticed that one of ITV’s biggest programmes is missing from ITV Quiz’s schedule next week.

Wheel of Fortune, Tipping Point, Lingo, Tenable, the rebooted Deal or No Deal and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? appear.

But The Chase is nowhere to be seen, according to RXTVInfo.

The new channel launches on Monday.

TV guide data up until Friday doesn’t show any episodes of The Chase lined up.

It’s not clear why but The Chase does currently appear on the Challenge channel.

However, all is not lost for fans of the show as there is a hidden alternative that goes on step further.

The Chase has its very own channel with back-to-back episodes on ITVX.

ITV Quiz is set to kick-start on Monday with an episode of Lingo at 9am.

BIG CHANGES AHEAD

The move comes as the broadcaster prepares to makes a number of huge cuts.

More than 220 jobs are set to be axed across ITV daytime, affecting Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, Loose Women and This Morning.

Production teams for the latter three shows will be merged from next year, meanwhile Good Morning Britain will be produced by ITV News at ITN to save money.

Loose Women will only air 30 weeks instead of 52 weeks under the changes.

Lorraine Kelly’s morning show will also be reduced to 30 weeks and cut from an hour long to just 30 minutes.

ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full

Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily.

Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.

During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am.

This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year.

Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.

The changes will take effect from January 2026.

Schools plunged into lockdown as armed cops hunt ‘man with machete’ roaming streets – as suspect, 34, arrested

MULTIPLE schools were placed in lockdown after a 34-year-old man “armed with a machete” was arrested by police.

Cops scrambled to the scene as chaos descended in the Stonydelph area of Tamworth, Staffordshire, just before 9am today.

Armed officers were summoned to the area as a police helicopter was seen whirring overhead.

Reports of a man seen roaming around with a machete in Silver Link Road and Crowden Road sparked chaos in the quiet area.

Officers then arrested a 34-year-old man, from Glascote, on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, said Staffordshire Police.

A machete was also recovered at the scene, said the force.

Schools were placed in lockdown, with Stoneydelph Primary confirming it swiftly instigated procedure.

It is understood that several other schools in the area were placed into lockdown, including Three Peaks Primary Academy.

A spokeswoman for Stonydelph Primary said: “At the start of the school day, we received a concerning report involving an unknown man in the vicinity of the school.

“Police were quick to respond and following their advice and school policy, we entered into a lockdown which is known to, and well-practised by, both children and staff.”

Parents of the school have been informed of the incident and kept updated throughout.

Cops said there were no injuries and that local schools had been updated.

A Staffordshire Police spokeswoman stated: “We were called at 8.43am to reports of a man with a machete on Silver Link Road and Crowden Road. No one was reported injured.

“Local officers, together with firearms officers and the National Police Air Service helicopter, were in the area searching for the man.

“A 34-year-old man, from Glascote, Tamworth, was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

“A machete has been recovered. Local schools have been updated.”

The order you eat the food on your plate could be key to losing weight, say experts

WHETHER a quick weekday dinner or an elaborate lunchtime feast, meals typically involve a combination of a main dish, vegetables, and often a starch.

And if you’re looking to lose weight, the order you eat each of these components is important, say researchers.

Researchers from Stanford University tested if eating a dose of fibre, protein or fat before carbohydrates impacted blood sugar spikes.

Frequent blood sugar spikes can lead to weight gain and increased risk of obesity because the body is forced to store excess glucose as fat.

But the experts found this could be avoided by changing not what people eat, but what order they eat foods in.

In the study, the scientists looked at 55 volunteers, half of which has signs of pre-diabetes – a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.

They were given a meal consisting of rice on three separate occasions, and had to wear devices to measure blood sugar levels, known as continuous glucose monitors.

In the 10 minutes before each meal, participants were given either a fibre supplement, protein in the form of boiled egg whites, or dairy fat from crème fraîche.

When the researchers looked at the results, they found eating fibre or the egg protein lowered the blood sugar spike that came from eating the energy-dense rice.

Eating the fat before the rice didn’t lower the blood sugar spike but did delay it from happening.

This suggests eating fibre-rich foods like vegetables and proteins like eggs before enjoying carbohydrates could prevent blood sugar surges that can lead to increased hunger.

Professor Michael Snyder, an expert in genetics and author of the study, recommended dieters eat their meals in a specific order.

He said: “Eating carbohydrates later in a meal is still a good idea even though it had not yet been sorted out whether it is best to eat protein, fat or fibre before carbohydrates.

“Eat your salad or hamburger before your French fries.”

Carbohydrates are naturally found in a wide variety of foods, including grains (bread, rice, pasta), fruits (apples, bananas), vegetables (potatoes, corn), legumes (beans, lentils), dairy products (milk, yogurt), and starchy vegetables (sweet potatoes, peas). 

They’re vital for providing energy to the body, particularly for the brain and nervous system. 

They also play a role in maintaining muscle tissue, supporting healthy digestion, and providing essential micronutrients. 

And can help regulate mood, promote heart health, and assist in managing weight.

The NHS recommends carbohydrates make up 50-60 per cent of a person’s daily calorie intake.

For weight maintenance, women generally aim for 45-60g of carbs per meal, while men aim for 60-75g. 

For weight loss, women may reduce this to 30-45g per meal, and men to 45-60g. 

A good starting point is to have about a quarter of your plate as starchy carbohydrates (like potatoes, bread, rice) at each meal, adds the NHS.

Other science backed ways to lose weight

Calorie deficit

To lose weight, it’s essential to consume fewer calories than you burn. This can be achieved through a combination of diet and exercise. 

Prioritise protein

Protein-rich foods can help increase satiety, promote muscle growth, and support weight loss. 

Increase fibre intake

Fibre-rich foods can aid in weight loss by promoting feelings of fullness and helping regulate blood sugar levels. 

Limit processed foods and added sugars

Reducing the intake of these foods can significantly impact calorie intake and contribute to weight loss. 

Engage in regular exercise

Aerobic exercises (like walking, running, or cycling) and strength training (like lifting weights) are both beneficial for weight loss. 

Prioritise sleep

Adequate sleep is important for hormone regulation, appetite control, and overall weight management. 

Manage stress

Stress can lead to unhealthy eating habits and contribute to weight gain. Finding healthy ways to manage stress is crucial.
