In a good luck note to Gareth Southgate ahead of tonight’s Euro 2020 final, she reminisced over the kick she got from presenting the trophy to the late England captain in 1966. Her Majesty wrote: “55 years ago I was fortunate to present the World Cup to Bobby Moore and saw what it meant to the players, management and support staff to reach and win the final of a major international football tournament.” The Queen, who is not expected to be at Wembley tonight, added: “I want to send my congratulations and that of my family to you all on reaching the final of the European Championships, and send my good wishes for tomorrow with the hope that history will record not only your success but also the spirit, commitment and pride with which you have conducted yourselves.” Boris Johnson, who has had No10 bedecked with St George’s flags, also wrote a message to Southgate last night. The PM told the manager his team had “already made history”.

Woke ban hits lyrics ■ by AARON TINNEY MINISTERS have been hit with a woke warning not to say “it’s coming home” as it winds up other countries. Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport officials said the lyric “does not go down well overseas” and could scupper Britain and Ireland’s bid to host the 2030 World Cup. Their email read: “Please do encourage your ministers not to use ‘it’s coming home’. This does not go down well overseas.” But the warning came too late for politicians. PM Boris Johnson said after England’s semi-final win against Denmark: “Let’s bring it home.” Home Secretary Priti Patel also used the phrase twice on the same day alongside photos of herself in an England shirt. “It’s coming home” are the opening words and chorus to the Euro ’96 anthem Three Lions.

4 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 SS1ST FOOTIE ACE: Mariner Tributes as striker Paul dies at 68 FOOTBALL star Paul Mariner has died aged 68 after an eight-month brain cancer battle. The striker – who was capped 35 times for England – helped Ipswich Town win the FA Cup in 1978 and the UEFA Cup in 1981. Mariner, who also played for Arsenal, had surgery in November to remove a tumour, but died at home on Friday surrounded by his loved ones. A statement from the Mariner family said: “A special thank you must go to the NHS and the unbelievable care he received when he most needed it. “Paul lived a full life and was fortunate enough to represent a group of fantastic football clubs as well as his country, all of which meant the world to him. “Anyone who knew Paul will attest to his great sense of humour, his passion for life and his work.” As tributes flooded in from pundits and teams across Britain, a tweet from the England team account said: “We’re sad to have learned that Paul Mariner has passed away at the age of 68.” FA hit with £26k fine THE FA have been fined £26,000 by UEFA after a fan shone a laser pen in Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel’s face during Wednesday’s semi-final. The fine also relates to Three Lions supporters booing during Denmark’s national anthem and setting off fireworks inside the stadium, which was attended by over 60,000 fans. wind-up bears fruit in rattling war and pineapple taunts getting to italy... so let’s keep going KEEP rubbing Italy’s face in the pineapple pizza to top off Euro 2020 with a historic Three Lions victory. Readers have been sharing their love for a fruity slice since the Daily Star revealed on Friday that the mere sight of a Hawaiian could put our rivals off their game. The tactic has worked a treat as Italy fans are now seething ahead of tonight’s final – suggesting their touchy footie team will also be getting their knickers in a twist about our push for victory. Italy’s pizza purists believe a pineapple topping is an “abomination” and their football fans have even flown a banner calling for it to be banned. One Italian admitted online about our cheeky campaign: “Pineapple pizza is worse than coronavirus.” Others said it was a “teenage” ploy to distract the Italy side, with one rambling in a huge web post: “There is no need to insult people’s culture.” But England fans backing ■ by AARON TINNEY sunday@dailystar.co.uk our pizza-taking have told them to stop being so “po-faced” and see the funny side. They have also been buying up Hawaiian deep pans by the bucketload.

Goodfella’s told us 34% of you naughty lot are planning your order “to wind up an Italian”. While Deliveroo said pizza orders have “skyrocketed” in advance of the final by a 1,680%.

DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 7 battle: britney Spears gets own lawyer for dad fight BRITNEY Spears has hired her own lawyers in a bid to end her conservatorship. The 39-year-old recently called for it to be scrapped and has reportedly contacted a former federal prosecutor, Mathew Rosengart, to help her. According to TMZ, the singer has signed a document which states: “Pursuant to my statement in open court on June 23, 2021, my rights, and my desire to end the above-referenced conservatorship as to my father Jamie P. Spears, it is my desire to choose and retain my own counsel, at Greenberg Traurig, LLP.” The firm stated that if they agree to represent Britney, their first order of business will be filing court documents asking to remove her father as conservator of her estate. Britney is said to be feeling hopeful after her co-conservators resigned. An insider reportedly said: “She’s finally feeling hopeful about the future. “She thinks people are resigning because they know she is speaking the truth.” Picture: JeaNY SaVage Barbi & Livi ■ by eD gLeaVe THESE lovely lasses will be cheering on England tonight.

8 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 Says Why kill our hero dogs? WE have been banging on about the deaths of the Army’s hero dogs for three years now. The latest worrying figures show very little has changed. The bottom line is that a dog is put to sleep by military vets every fortnight. It defies logic and common sense that there is a good reason for killing every one of these animals. That simply cannot be the case. Don’t forget, we are euthanising dogs that have given their working lives to serving their country. They work in combat zones right alongside our soldiers. They deserve better. We welcome former shadow defence minister Kevan Jones to the campaign. He is demanding an investigation, saying defence dogs should only be put to sleep as a last resort. It seems we are not the only ones to doubt that this is the only reason that 1,500 animals have died this way. We need a few celebrities to join the cause, as that’s often the only time the authorities wake up and do something. They’ll stay dug in, until outrage on Twitter forces a reaction. In the meantime we’ll keep chipping away, knowing that our readers expect nothing less. The Ministry of Defence insists it does all it can to save Army dogs. Open the doors to independent investigators… and prove it. Isle’s prim ’n flopper IT’S come to something when Love Island stars are criticised for being “too prim”.

The former Strictly star was hit by a car during lockdown and admitted she has now lost the confidence to go out cycling. Carol, 59, said: “It’s weird because sometimes I’ll dream about it and I can still hear that crunch of the car hitting the back of my bike.” Speaking on the Her Spirit podcast, the Scottish telly favourite added: “I got hit from behind by a car and that has destroyed my confidence cycling on the roads now. Completely destroyed it. “I tried it and I was so nervous of cars coming alongside me that I just thought, ‘I’m going to wobble, I’m going to fall off. I’m just not going to do it.’ “But I’ll never forget that accident. It was horrific. “My knee was absolutely battered. There were nerves apparently hanging out of it.

The accident happened after the senior officer ordered his crew to drive at top speed while travelling downhill. The steepness of the slope meant the Challenger 2, worth around £5million, got stuck and had to be hauled out by another tank. The commander for the exercise in the West Country was understood to be a rookie officer. A source said: “The tank was demonstrating how fast it can travel in the open countryside. “The driver said he wanted to slow down and change course because the hill was too steep for the tanks. “The commander, a young officer fresh out of Sandhurst, just told him to carry on. “The tank weighs 50 tons and smashed into the ground and there was no shifting it. Getting a tank stuck like that requires a lot of effort. “When it was finally removed the crew got a round of applause.” OUR ALERT: 2018 story

Holly Hagan and Marnie Simpson, both 29, are bored by the series so far. And they blame it on the contestants being too posh. Marnie said: “I feel like Love Island lacks a little bit this year. “I hate to say it but they’re kind of letting us down at the minute. I’m hoping it picks up.” Holly added: “They’re too middle class and too prim and proper.” The girls also reckon the line-up has too many younger contestants. Marnie said: “I feel like I’m watching a bunch of kids have a conversation about absolutely nothing. I think the age limit for Love Island should mean you have to be 25 and over.” Holly added: “They go on there knowing what they can get after the series, like deals. No 21-year-old wants to fall in love. They want a deal. “I want to see people in there who actually want to fall in love, who are actual adults. I want to see the show put in people who are confident and comfortable in themselves, rather than putting in kids.” Meanwhile, this year’s line-up includes Geordie lad Brad McClelland, 26, and some fans would like to see him join the cast of Geordie Shore. But the girls, who are back with a new series of Geordie OGs on MTV this week, are not convinced. Marnie said: “When that Brad talks he just can’t get to the point. It’s like, ‘What is he talking about?’” Holly said: “That’s what happens when you get by on your looks for so long.” Love Island has had a mixed reaction from viewers since returning to screens last month. Most of the romances have fallen flat and there has not been much drama during the first fortnight. Contestant Hugo, 24, is yet to find long-lasting chemistry with anyone. Ratings for this series have also been down as the show competes with the Euros and Wimbledon. Telly bosses are hoping viewing figures will spike in the coming weeks as more singletons are sent in to spice things up.

Right bottom, Sharon paper teddy: I’m ready four you gIrls ■ by ED GLEAVE LOVE Island’s new hunk is ready for some four play. Teddy Soares, 26, was offered the chance to go on a date with a gang of girls after bursting into the villa. It was up to the group to pick who went along and we can reveal they chose Faye Winter, Sharon Gaffka, Kaz Kamwi and Rachel Finni. We’ll see Teddy go speed dating with all four of them in The Hideaway – a secluded section of the villa. A show insider said: “Teddy will be thrown in at the deep end with this. “He’ll be dating four of the girls straight away. “It means he’s far more likely to get a connection with one of them. “This twist has the potential to really spice things up.” Producers are hoping the stunt will mean Teddy finds romance. The financial consultant knows exactly what he wants. He said: “If I do see something I want, I do go for it. “But I am still generous and will care about the way I go about doing things. If it will impact someone, I will weigh that up.” You can also see the latest action from the villa on the ITV Hub. ■SPEED DATING: Teddy will be romancing four islanders PLANET: Pair Shy couple ‘gong for fewer kids’ A SHY couple have been granted a charity award for making the “enlightened decision” to limit their family to two children. Population Matters said it was recognising the two wallflowers for reducing their impact on the environment. The pair had baby Lilibet “Lili” Diana on June 4, following the birth of their son Archie Mountbatten- Windsor on May 6, 2019. But social media users mocked the move, with one writing: “Congratulations for saving the planet by only having two kids. “I guess many families with two or fewer children can be expecting an award in the post?” do ’t shoot.. tatt’s leNIN! IN the old USSR, prisoners would sometimes get portraits of Lenin and Stalin tattooed on their chests. They believed it would protect them against being executed – because the guards wouldn’t dare to shoot at these images.

SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 13 live and kicking at last I PLAYED my first live DJ set in as long as I can remember yesterday afternoon. Before you tell me off, it was just a chillout session with no dancing or singing, so we didn’t break any rules. The event was called Ginfest and if you think that might be a tad dry as a concept, let me tell you it was just the tonic we needed! Afterwards, the field wasn’t very tidy, but the gin remained neat. One chap told me: “I only drink gin twice a year – when it’s raining and when it’s not.” He then warned me gin can damage your short-term memory. If that’s the case, just imagine what gin can do? cOde OF POsties ROYAL Mail wants US-style post boxes rolled out across the country to protect our posties from vicious dogs. They are especially keen for customers with aggressive pooches to get on board with the plan. We’ll be OK – I happen to know our postman isn’t scared of our dog. But I did worry him yesterday by going to the door completely naked. I’m not sure what scared him most – my nudity or the fact I knew where he lived!

Because the bad news is it only works for women. N-acetylcysteine is a supplement you can buy off the shelf and is said to protect the liver from heavy drinking sessions. However, tests have shown that blokes who took it actually felt worse than normal after a few bevvies. Like a few of you I’m sure, my pal had the hangover from hell the morning after Wednesday’s England semi-final. He says he just stood in the shower for nearly an hour... then he finally summoned the strength to turn it on.

Paul Nickerson was planning a break for his family of five in St Ives. But he got a nasty shock when the estimated price tag was £71,627. Just imagine if it rained every day?

Yesterday, even though it was a Saturday, the UPS driver called to check she was OK. Internet stores were totally swamped during the lockdown. I ran out of toilet paper and had to start using old newspapers. The Times were really rough. Yes, you’ve guessed it, I was a delivery driver for a while. On my first day I got to the first address just fine, but was greeted by a note that read: “Dear delivery man, we’re out so please hide in the bin.” I still haven’t been found.

14 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 OFF THE TOP OF MY SUSANNA Reid and Richard Madeley did a fantastic job interviewing new Health Secretary Sajid Javid on Good Morning Britain. They asked all the key questions, challenged him when needed and, crucially, SS1ST gave him a chance to speak. FILMS SHOWBIZ movie is already TELLY TELLY FILMS SHOWBIZ in TELLY FILMS That meant we got some much-needed insight into why the Government is making the decisions it is. It was a masterclass in how to do a TV interview. They proved it’s possible to hold a politician to account without ranting, raving and shouting. Before he left the show, Piers Morgan was praised for pushing politicians. But he often made the interview all about himself and rarely let guests answer properly. There’s no point having someone on the show if you won’t let them say much. Even if it’s a particularly odious politician – if they’re in power, we need to hear what they have to say because it affects our lives. Susanna was always in Piers’ shadow when they worked together. With him gone, she is able to shine. Some of her recent interviews prove she is one of the best in the business at actually holding politicians to account. FAST & Furious 9 has pulled off quite the stunt, managing two weeks at the top of the UK box office. It has already grossed £10million to become one of the biggest films of the year. So it’s no surprise to hear that a tenth the works. AJ’s trophy shock is ’oke dokey AJ Odudu is as surprised as anyone she won Celebrity Karaoke Club. The presenter beat professional singers to take the trophy in last night’s final. I bet they didn’t mind… much. AJ said: “I never ever expected to win at all, especially being up against the likes of Amelia Lily, who’s been on The X Factor, and Marcel from Blazin’ Squad. “I had no idea what the end result would be. It was such a shock to be taking home the trophy at the end. “I had the best time. I’d do it all over again if I could. As soon as karaoke bars are back open, I’ll be the first one there!” The series might be over, but you’ll be seeing plenty more of AJ. This week she’s one of the contestants on new food show Cooking With The Stars. And she’s back on hosting duties for a game show called Apocalypse Wow. Her agent must be working overtime.

The Geordie Shore star became a target after having her son Rox in late 2019. Having heard what they’re bitching about, I’m not sure they have a point. Marnie said: “From the second he was born, I had it from trolls. “They say everything – I get trolled for not cutting his strawberries in the right way. “Mums are brutal. It’s just how people are. But I don’t understand it.” Marnie is back with a new series of MTV’s Geordie OGs, starting on Tuesday at 10pm. And she is braced for even more nasty comments. She added: “Normally I’m not afraid to show everything. This time I’m a bit more conscious about it because I’m so frightened about the troll mums who are going to come out. “I’m questioning how to it will look to the viewers.” FRANCES de la Tour says sexism is still rife in showbusiness. The TV and film star is fed up with the way women are treated in the industry. She said: “Roles for women are getting better because society is changing somewhat, but not hugely. “I think we’re still kept in our place. “The problem is that something groundbreaking happens and then you go back to square one. “Angela Lansbury was in Murder She Wrote, but then you had to wait years for Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect. Nothing happens immediately. There’s also a tendency to make leading female characters a bit dippy or screw- ball and you wonder why they can’t have their heads in the right place. “There is always some angle about them being a bit odd or strange.” The former Rising Damp actress add- ed: “Lots of women still don’t get equal pay in all sorts of careers, which is abso- lutely ridiculous and unacceptable. We’ve got a hell of a long way to go yet.” Frances has no plans to quit acting for a quiet life of doing crosswords and watching Countdown. The star is ready to take on more roles. She added: “I’m happy to play any character that’s well written – be it a teacher or a grandmother wandering around a village. “If a detective story came up that I thought was interesting, I’d do it. But I’m too old now. “In reality, nobody would employ a 75-year-old woman to run a detective agency. You have to recognise your limits when you get older.” Frances will be back on the box in the new murder mystery series Professor T with Ben Miller. It starts next Sunday at 9pm on ITV.

SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 17 CORONA CRISIS FEAR: Prof Stokes-Lampard Caution plea for July 19 IT would be “dangerous” to return to life as normal on July 19, a top Government adviser has warned. Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, chairwoman of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, said: “We’ve only just heard about the rising numbers of cases, the rising numbers of people requiring hospital treatment, in intensive care, and sadly deaths are starting to rise again. “There seems to be a misapprehension that life will return to normal from [July 19], and that we can throw away all the precautions. “Frankly, that would be dangerous.” The rate of new cases of coronavirus in most areas of England is now back at levels last seen during the winter.

They finally made it back via flights from South Africa, Egypt and Istanbul. They then enjoyed a break in Montenegro before catching a taxi to Croatia then flying to Frankfurt and finally Birmingham. The couple caught the virus on their long journey home. Ivan, 56 added: “From a mental point of view, the thought of hotel quarantine was frightening. “I ended up getting Covid because of it. “The Government did really well with the jabs but hotel quarantining is appalling.” COVID PASSPORT PLAN AS YOUNG RESIST VACCINES COVID passports will be needed for the pub if proposals are given the green light. Sources say plans to introduce the requirement to enter bars, restaurants and nightclubs are back on the table. A certificate proving you have had two vaccines, or proof of a negative test result the day before, would be needed. It is hoped the move, expected to come into force in the autumn, will encourage more young people to get the jab. A Downing Street insider said: “If we can show real benefits of getting vaccinated in terms of everyday life then it could be quite a useful tool.” It is hoped the rules will stop a fourth wave of coronavirus taking hold later this year. Cases have soared in recent weeks and the Office for National Statistics estimates one in 160 people in England now has the virus.

Corden’s a silly tucker BEING mean to James Corden feels like torturing a Care Bear. Yet PC puritans have turned on him over Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts, a segment on his Late Late Show where celebs either tell all or scoff chicken feet and disgusting 1,000-yearold eggs as a forfeit. Critics claim it’s “anti-Asian”. Yet all cultures have delicacies that revolt the uninitiated – try getting today’s pampered youths to sample good old English grub like bread and dripping or Texan egg ’n’ brains. The only person this segment should wind up is the sadist who invented Ant & Dec’s Bushtucker trials. My problem with James is he just isn’t funny enough to fill the shoes of Craig Ferguson, Leno, Letterman and Conan. He’s swapped opening gags for lazy chitchat, which is no substitute.

And even then the “drama” fell well short of the night’s Spain vs Italy penalty shootout. Nice guy Hugo Hammond, right, upset the apple cart by saying he found “anything fake” in potential girlfriends a turn-off. It was an innocent remark, spoken without malice… so naturally it was taken the wrong way. Faye, who’s had a boob job and daft duck lip implants, made it personal. “Get f***ing educated as to why girls get work done,” she stormed. Hugo could have told her to get educated as to why girls shouldn’t get work done, citing Leslie Ash’s lips, Jocelyn Wildenstein, Chloe Ferry’s kisser and more. Katie Price, once naturally pretty, has just had yet more surgery to repair previous bodge jobs. Instead, Hugo Harry’s flagging at the Queen Vic burst into tears, losing the sympathy of older viewers while probably ensuring his place in the final. Hugo told Faye and the equally “offended” Sharon: “I’m really f***ing sorry… I meant no harm”. Faye snapped: “I don’t give a f*** if he’s upset, he can f*** off.” Such a charmer. It was a rare dollop of tension in a dull series – so far the only thing going down is the ratings. Later, realising Hugo was genuine, the three hugged. But if he had meant cosmetic surgery rather than bullshine merchants, wouldn’t he have been right? Reality TV is full of attractive women who have made themselves look odd. Rock solid boobs with no wobble, over-pumped joke lips… Isn’t it better to judge people on their personalities? Or failing that, girls, why not opt for something truly eye-catching like swapping silicone for Play-Doh? Then you could have a headturning 42long instead of a bogstandard 36DD. And after sex, you and your partner could have hours of fun fashioning your thrupennies into bouncy castles.

SS1ST 22 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 LesLie: my medicaL dramas never end struggles make star a hospital show shoe-in LESLIE Ash reckons her past health woes mean she keeps getting cast in medical dramas. The 62-year-old, who spent years in and out of hospital being treated for a life-changing spinal infection, is back as Holby City character Vanessa Lytton on hospital soap Casualty. And while she was on the set of the long-running show she got a call about BBC daytime drama Doctors. Leslie said: “I’m doing all the medical programmes. I’m just hoping to get Call The Midwife and I’ll have done them all”. In 2004, Leslie contracted a variant of the superbug MRSA while in hospital. It attacked her spine and left her fearing she may never walk again. But after a long recovery she is back on her feet, albeit with the aid of a walking stick. She said: “When I’m out in public I take my stick, just so people give me a wide berth – it only takes one person not looking where they are going for me to end up on the floor. “For a time I felt as though it was stopping me working. “I thought there must have been a reason why my career didn’t carry on after my recovery and it must TITLE: Gallagher ■ EXCLUSIVE by ANDY LEA andy.lea@dailystar.co.uk have been because of me having a stick. But it’s becoming much more inclusive. ‘There’s a lot more work for women and for disabled people. “And it doesn’t have to be in the story, that’s what I liked about Holby City. I walked with a stick and nobody felt the need to explain it.” Leslie is also back on the big screen in To Be Someone, a crime caper that reunited many of the cast of Quadrophenia, the 1979 film that made her name. Seeing her co-stars such as Toyah Willcox and Mark Wingett was “like meeting old school friends”. ■ASH BACK: Leslie has beaten ill health to return to the big screen NOEL Gallagher nicked an album title from a book by conspiracy theorist David Icke. Ex-sports presenter Icke famously claimed the world would end in 1997 and believes lizard people live among us. Noel, 54, said: “Who Built The Moon? is the title of a chapter in a David Icke book.” The rocker said he loves Leslie said: “It’s about a guy who is obsessed with mod bikes and clothes. “I thought the script was really funny, so of course I wanted to be in it.” Watch To Be Someone in cinemas and on digital download now, and on DVD on August 9.

The late comedian was relieved when the gangster saw the funny side. The story came from Barry Cryer, who used to write a show for Ronnie in Soho club Winston’s in the 1960s. He said: “Ronnie was on stage and somebody threw a bread roll and it hit him in the face. “And he threw it back and hit Ronnie Kray in the face. But they laughed – it was Ronnie, our mate.” Barry, 86, also said that a punter who swore in front of the hardman’s wife Terry was hit by the Kray twins. He said: “A man got smacked very hard in the face one night for saying ‘bloody’ in front of Terry.” He added: “You killed people, but that was business. You did not swear in front of a nice girl.” Tea? Think I’m a mug! LonDoneRS are the least likely to offer a cuppa to somebody doing work in their home.

Below, with baby and husband Daniel i had no idea i was 8 months pregnant A WOMAN suffering stomach pain was about to have her appendix taken out when docs discovered she was in labour. Janice Kerwick, 43, had believed she was infertile after trying for a decade to become pregnant naturally, and later with iVF. She experienced stomach pains for months but three pregnancy tests were negative and she had lost weight. With the pain intensifying, medics diagnosed appendicitis and prepared Janice for emergency surgery. But a routine pregnancy test two hours before surgery revealed she was eight months pregnant. Arabella was born a few hours later – a “miracle” baby for Janice and husband Daniel, 39, who had both given up on having a child together. Janice said: “i went from believing i ■ by AMY REAST sunday@dailystar.co.uk was infertile and had appendicitis to being told i am two hours away from having a baby. “it sounds far-fetched, but i truly had no idea i was pregnant. “i’d dropped a dress size, i hadn’t felt kicks, and had got three negative pregnancy test results. “After so many years wanting a baby we had given up – especially after iVF didn’t work. “it wasn’t a typical pregnancy, but it brought us our little miracle baby.” Janice and Daniel, who has two children from a previous relationship, believed she was infertile as she had been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome in her youth. Last year the couple agreed they would finally stop trying. Then Janice began suffering with severe stomach pains, and was in and out of hospital. Doctors suspected everything from gastritis to pneumonia and a severe stomach bug. But when she lost control of her bladder she was taken to A&e, where medics finally real- ised her waters had broken.

Pope gets back to job POPE Francis has celebrated Mass, worked and dined with aides as he continues a “satisfactory” recovery from intestinal surgery, the Vatican says. He is up and about in the papal apartment at a hospital in Rome, from where he is expected to deliver Sunday prayer today. The Pope, 84, was admitted to Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic last Sunday after suffering a severe narrowing of his large intestine. Surgeons removed half his colon. The Vatican had said Francis was expected to stay in hospital at least until the end of the week. Spokesman Matteo Bruni yesterday said his blood tests were “satisfactory” and “he is gradually resuming work and continues to stroll in the corridor of the apartment”. pet of the week FUN-LOVING Xander is looking for a home of his own where he can play and snooze his days away.

Growing numbers of people are reporting close encounters with little green men and women. Nearly 300 people in the UK claim to have romped with an enamoured extra-terrestrial. Most of them are from Britain’s UFO hot spot Norwich, which recently topped a list of paranormal places. More than a quarter of those who said they have made love to aliens came from the Norfolk city. Frisky folk in Bristol were hot on their heels in second place, making up 23% of those who reckon to have got saucy in a saucer. And loved-up Liverpudlians came in third place, making up 22% of the 300 reports sent in. David Abrams of BuzzBingo.com, who carried out the survey, said the findings were out of this world. He said: “We were astonished to see how many people ‘Maybe this means they really are out there’ claim to have had intimate relations with aliens, particularly in the cities of Norwich and Bristol. “There must be something about those spots which makes these experiences more common than in the rest of the UK. “Maybe they really are out there and this is their way of communicating.” Last month, the Daily Star Sunday revealed how fed-up Abbie Bela had found love with a spaceman after not having any luck with fellas online. The actress, who lives in east London, said she was visited by five members of an alien species who had “very tall and slender” human builds. After “connecting” with one, she was taken to their galaxy for a 20-minute date before being returned home. Abbie said she was still looking forward to her second date. She told us: “It is controversial for people who haven’t considered interspecies dating. “I’m willing to give it a go – I’m going to be one of the first to normalise it.” TRIBUTES AS ‘GIANT OF RADIO’ JONO DIES AGED 65 DAD: Jono & son Oscar TRIBUTES have been paid to “giant of radio” Jonathan “Jono” Coleman.

The veteran first hit TV screens in 1979 and later teamed up with Ian “Dano” Rogerson to become the duo Jono and Dano in Australia. After moving to the UK, he became one half of Virgin Radio’s Russ and Jono, with Russell Williams, in the mid-90s. Australian film star Russell Crowe described Jono as “a lovely man”. In a tribute to their former colleague, BBC Radio London said: “Our thoughts are with Jono’s wife Margot and his children today.” Aussie comedian Adam Hills said: “One of my early radio heroes, and one of the nicest people I ever met.”

The warnings were unveiled by the Department for Transport in 2019 in a bid to make roads safer for the endangered animals. Since then just six councils have applied to get them – and they have all been turned down. There could be as few as 600,000 hedgehogs left in the UK. Around 150,000 die every year on our busy roads.

Labour MP Derek Twigg was told all applications to put them up had been denied, despite the fanfare around them three years ago. Transport minister Rachel Maclean said: “The Department has received six applications for the small wild mammal traffic sign in the last three years. None of these applications have been approved.” Campaigners blame red tape and confusion for the lack of signs. Fay told the Daily Star Sunday: “We’re hearing it’s very difficult to get them. Councils are having problems applying for them and the DfT seems to be having problems issuing them. “There appears to be no uniform criteria. It’s hugely disappointing.” The hedgehog population in England, Wales and Scotland was thought to be around 30million in the 1950s. Intensive farming, a loss of hedgerows, creating larger fields and the use of pesticides have been blamed for their dramatic decline. They are now on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, meaning they face “an appreciable risk of extinction” in the UK. ● To make your garden more hedgehog-friendly, check out the tips and advice at hedgehogstreet.org – a campaign celebrating its 10th year.

Millions of people across the globe have been terrified of taking a dip in the sea since Jaws hit cinemas in 1975. And yet experts say you are five times more likely to die from selfie-related injuries than from being scoffed by a shark. Marine biologist Dr Mike Heithaus said: “Sharks should not stop you from enjoying the ocean. Most of the ones you’ll see are more scared of you than you should be of them. “Many things we do every day are more dangerous – like selfies or driving. “The chance of you getting killed by a shark is very low.

Though he admits even he can get a little nervous sometimes. Mike said: “When I first started working with sharks I was still very nervous – I’d seen Jaws! “Being nervous is a good thing because it means I don’t get complacent. When you’re dealing with big animals, you get into trouble when you get complacent. “I read the body language of sharks. If they get agitated, I know it’s time to get out. But the boats, the trucks and the weather are the things that are dangerous – far more than the sharks.” DON’T MISS SHARKFEST Dr Mike is on new doc Shark Attack Investigation: The Paige Winter Story on Tuesday at 8pm on National Geographic Wild BULLSHARK fin-tastic: Bullsharks in Bimini, the Bahamas, and far left NEW LOOK BUT NO SWiTch Up ONE of the worstkept secrets in the video game industry was finally revealed this week as Nintendo unveiled its new upgraded Switch console… although there were still a few surprises. It was rumoured it would feature a new Nvidia chip and 4K support. In reality, the new model is more of a mid-gen refresh of the existing hardware, with small upgrades that improve the console but perhaps not to the extent most fans were hoping. The new model has a larger 7in OLED screen, a greatly improved kickstand, 64GB of built-in storage (up from 32GB), and some minor design tweaks, all for £309.99 – only £30 more than the existing Switch. The battery life is identical (four to nine hours), and a statement from Nintendo has clarified that the OLED model does not have a new CPU or more RAM. So internally, the machine is more or less identical to the existing Switch. It means the frame rate on certain titles will continue to be an issue and the quality of docked play could still be problematic. The OLED screen will be dreamy, while the handheld mode will be sharper and better-looking. But arguably what the Switch really required was a much-needed performance boost, which this is not. Those upgrades could still arrive in the future as insiders say a Switch Pro could be coming in 2022. If you already own a Switch, you probably don’t need the OLED upgrade, but it’s a welcome tweak for anyone yet to buy one. It will be out on October 8.

Everything from the cosmos to the Earth’s geological wonders have inspired the names given to these beautiful birds that dazzle brighter than any star or gemstone. The glittering-throated emerald and Brazilian ruby, along with the gorgeted sunangel and white-bellied woodstar, number among the 360 species of hummingbird, all with iridescent plumages that bring joy to the heart. How fitting these birds with their wondrous names are being celebrated by one of the most skilled nature writers of the age. Jon Dunn’s The Glitter in the Green: In Search of Hummingbirds goes far beyond being a homage to these tiny birds – so small they confound the laws of physics and biology with their fairy-like flight and supercharged metabolism. Hummingbirds dash and dart across vast swathes of the New World. To find them, Dunn embarks on a ‘‘ In Victorian times vast numbers were killed to provide hat feathers quest from the edge of the Alaskan Arctic Circle to the southernmost reaches of South America, exploring how these birds have been worshipped and celebrated, but also abused and are now finally threatened with extinction. It is a journey of highs and lows. Along the route, there are encounters with Cuba’s miniscule bee hummingbird – at two grams, the smallest bird in the world – and the marvellous spatuletail, a flying work of art. As the author makes his way ever southwards, the encounters are punctuated with tragic tales of heartless exploitation through history, as in the Victorian feather trade which was awash with the slaughtered carcasses of astronomical numbers of bejewelled hummingbirds to decorate women’s hats. And in Mexico, they are still killed so they can be turned into love charms.

Dahlias need weekly feeding and tall ones can be staked now. ■ It’s a good time to take softwood and semi-ripe cuttings – this is a great way to grow relatively expensive plants such as Buxus. ■ Take cuttings from tender plants to over-winter indoors. ■ Cut sweet pea flowers regularly to prevent them going to seed and enjoy their beautiful scent indoors. ■ Pinch out tomato shoots. Feed tomatoes, peppers and cucumber with high potash fertiliser once fruits form. ■ Check for cabbage white butterfly eggs under cabbage leaves and remove. ■ Sow spring cabbage, turnips, fennel, and autumn/winter salads. ■ Cherry, plum and peach trees can be pruned if needs be now – this is a job you can’t do in winter as there is a risk of silver leaf disease. ■ Stop climbing beans when they reach the tops of their stakes so they divert energy to cropping on side shoots. Remember to keep them and all vegetables sufficiently watered. ■ Missed the potato planting season? You can get cold-stored tubers which can be planted now and will mature in time for Christmas. These potatoes are best planted in bags or containers that can be bought at a garden centre. Turn inside out comfy two-seater and which helps reduce damage from water, move it out to the sun! bugs and sunlight. Bring your indoor plants outside now for a houseplant holiday Indoor plants really enjoy the fresh air, sunlight and rain of the outdoors and can lend quite an exotic feel to your space. BOUQUET Use glass bottles for table display The weather from now through to the end of August should provide their optimal growing conditions. Place them where they won’t receive the full brunt of the sun. Too much sunlight can cause your houseplants to go into shock and the sun can burn their delicate leaves. So start your plant off in a shady spot then where it gets sun, but not directly. Even light breezes will dry out your plants so you’ll need to water them more often... perhaps even once a day. Lay down an old Persian carpet or rug outside A recent trend in outdoor design and garden styling has seen rugs brought from inside the house outside, laid on wooden decking or a terrace. It can create or add to a bohemian look. We have a covered deck and use some Persian rugs outdoors during the summer months. These style of rugs were often made for nomads and sometimes depicted garden scenes. Some were laid on clay floors. So, if they are kept out of the sun and the rain they may transform your garden space for an event or the entire summer season. New outdoor rugs in contemporary patterns are available and are produced with a backing material of either polypropylene or another synthetic fibre, Set the mood with lighting Lighting sets the mood like nothing else and need not be elaborate.

PLaNT of the week Lilium martagon Look away if you are a cat lover as lilies and cats don’t mix – the pollen is toxic and if your feline brushes against any and later licks it off, they will be very sick. All of which is a shame as lilies add so much to the garden in summer – luxurious blossoms, rich colours and fragrance. The most striking is Turk’s cap lily, the tall stems laden with downward-facing purple flowers which have re-curved petals. It does well in full sun or (usefully) in partial shade and will naturalise once established in the garden. Plant in well-drained soil. The white version (album) is exquisite. Beware the lily beetle which will strip the foliage – remove by hand. you aSk Hi Diarmuid How do we get rid of butterbur – it’s all over the side of our garden? David Hi David Butterbur (Petasites) is a very vigorous perennial that spreads by underground stems called rhizomes. It’s one of those plants that can regenerate itself if you leave even just a little bit of the stem in the soil so even if you dig it all up you will notice bits reappearing. However, persistent hoeing will eliminate it or if you prefer you can cover the whole area with a thick mulch of bark or weed membrane that excludes light. You need to watch out for it appearing elsewhere in the garden and keep on top of it. Diarmuid

32 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 SS1ST Cleaner Camp LEVC, the company that makes the excellent electric London taxis, has proudly announced that with the launch of its new e-Camper it will be the first company to offer an electric mobile bedroom. That’s not quite true because Vauxhall will sell you a converted Vivaro-e electric van. But back to LEVC’s e-Camper. Like the taxi, it has a powertrain that includes a small petrol engine which acts as a generator to charge the drive battery. This gives the e-Camper an electric-only range of 60 miles and a total range of 304 miles. Drive to Cornwall using petrol power and then when you’re there on holiday, switch to electric power. Perfect. The e-Camper conversion – based on the LEVC van – is carried out by Wellhouse Leisure and costs £62,250 plus VAT. Deliveries start later this year. Volvo hones V90 to make it even better Volvo launched its V90 estate in the UK five years ago and the car hasn’t dated a bit. It still looks terrific inside and out. A bit of rear luggage space has been sacrificed to give us the stylish rear end but not to the extent that it suffers compared to rivals as it can still swallow 1,500 litres of gear with the rear seats folded. Volvo has now given the V90 a bit of a revamp which includes some welcome changes to the on-board tech that we’ll come to shortly. Visually there’s a new lower bumper at the front and new tail lights. We are driving the T6 AWD in Inscription trim – yours for £56,800 without options. It is expensive, but if you’re a company car driver that number will be less frightening because the T6 is a plug-in hybrid and that means a low BIK tax rating. Also, if you have a charging point at home, you’ll enjoy low running costs too. Up front we have Volvo’s 1,969cc petrol engine that produces 253bhp and 350Nm of torque. This is backed up by an 87bhp electric motor that drives the rear wheels. Hence the AWD bit of the name. In all the T6 has automatiC ChoiCe of gti It’s a sign of the times. Volkswagen has facelifted its Polo GTI for next year but barely mentions the engine in the press release, although there’s plenty about connectivity and infotainment – just not horsepower. As it happens the revised Polo GTI uses the same 2.0-litre turbo engine as previously but now with an extra 7bhp making the total 204bhp. Sadly for many of us, the car is only available with a DSG automatic gearbox which for me knocks it out of contention against rivals such as the Fiesta ST and Hyundai’s new i20 N. There’s no price yet for the revised model but we’ll have one before it goes on sale early next year.

SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 33 with GOT A COMMENT ON MOTORING? FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @AskGOOdWIN Kia has added a new version to its Niro SUV range. The Connect sits between the ‘2’ and ‘3’ trim levels. Connect trim is available in the hybrid Niro and PHEV versions. It adds a 10.25in touchscreen, cloth and leather upholstery, high-gloss centre fascia, chrome inner and outer door handles and a rear console ventilation duct. The Connect hybrid costs £25,995 and the PHEV version £31,355. Big is beautiful ThE FacTs a system horsepower of 335bhp which is good for 0-62mph in 5.9sec and a top speed which is voluntarily limited by Volvo to 112mph, which makes complete sense even if you use German autobahns. Hidden away under the car’s floor is a 11.6kWh battery that gives the car a maximum electric range of 36 miles. You won’t get that, of course, but high 20s should be possible. All V90s use an eight-speed automatic transmission and it works well with the engine. The whole powertrain is slick and it’s easy to think you’re being driven solely on electric power when in fact the petrol engine is running. The V90’s interior, like most current Volvos, is a masterclass in Scandie clean design. There’s a nice jewel-like gearshift and plenty of open grain wood which is the material of the moment across the car industry. There’s one really welcome change inside the V90 and that’s the adoption of Google Automotive Services which includes Google Assistant voice control. Volvo uses it on the XC40 Recharge and the Polestar 2, and its superiority to most in-house developed voice control systems is dramatic. When more and more car companies are embedding functions within their cars’ infotainment systems it’s crucially important that you can access them with voice commands and not have to take your eyes off the road. In most cars though, the systems are just not reliable enough. Our Platinum Grey car has a comprehensive selection of extras that rocket the price up to well over 60 grand. I’d be very tempted by the Bowers & Wilkins sound system which is fantastic. Our car also has the optional adaptive suspension which includes air springs at the back. It’s a £1,500 extra but the V90 was always comfortable on steel springs so I doubt they’re worth the outlay, although if you regularly carry big loads the self-levelling action will be useful. If you’ve got off-street parking and can fit a charging point then the Volvo V90 T6 is a great choice. I liked the car before, but with the Google system fitted I can now enjoy driving it without swearing at the dashboard all the time. Volvo V90 T6 AWD Inscription Price: £56,800 Engine: 1,969cc, four-cylinder petrol, plus electric motor Power: 335PS Torque: 590Nm Top speed: 112mph 0-60mph: 5.9secs Economy: 104.6-134.5 mpg CO2: 47-61g/km For: Styling and relaxing drive. Against: Price, and sloping tailgate steals some space. Sum Up: Stylish alternative to German rivals. Aircross colourful airing Citroen has given its practical and well-priced C3 Aircross SUV a facelift. It incorporates front-end styling using details and designs featured on the latest models to come from the company. As usual there’s a huge choice of colour options (up to 70) and opportunities to personalise the car. Prices start from a very reasonable £17,320 for the entry level C-Series PureTech 110. Next trim level up is Shine and the flagship is Shine Plus. Powerplants include a diesel with 110PS and two petrols with 110PS and 130PS. GREEN FOR GO Here’s some good news for when we’re allowed to drive in Europe again. Post-Brexit, those driving or motorcycling abroad were going to be required to carry an insurance green card (remember them?) but the European Commission has just changed its mind.

Paul Simonon and Mick Jones toured together for the first time since the end of The Clash when Damon took Gorillaz on the road. He recalled: “It was an interesting tour bus. “There’s definitely a little bit of atmosphere between Mick and Paul. There’s a lot of stories, not appropriate for now.” But it was a dream come true for Damon, who added: “To have a drink with Paul Simonon was... close to God.” Damon will perform as a special guest at Latitude Festival later this month.

Kittens don’t want to score with gareth Minaj & Mini-Me Mix it up ★ NICKI Minaj has enlisted her mini-me for another remix. Newcomer BIA is the latest rapper-turned-Barb – and she even sounds like her heroine on the Whole Lotta Money remix. The collab started via Instagram, explained Minaj. She added: “I open the DMs and I see that the girl had been DMing me for three years!” THEY’VE got one of the big hits of Euro 2020 but Atomic Kitten hope Gareth Southgate’s wife is OK with it. They reunited to re-record signature song Whole Again, and rechristened it Southgate You’re The One (Football’s Coming Home Again). But there’s a saucy-sounding lyric in the chorus which they hope Mrs Southgate can have a chuckle about. Natasha Hamilton told me: “It’s goes, ‘Southgate you’re the one, you still turn me on’. There should be a full stop after ‘the one’. “We didn’t think about the lyrics, but then when it came to us singing it we were like, ‘Oh my God, that’s mad’.” Liz McClarnon added: “I’m sure his wife won’t be too bothered.” The track was first adopted by England fans at the 2018 World Cup, and its meteoric comeback shocked the trio. HOLLYWOOD favourite Scarlett Johansson may have played Black Widow for the final time, but she’s got plenty of mementos to look back on. She told BBC Radio 1 Movies With Ali Plumb: : “I have every suit, I think it’s actually in my contract.” After seven Marvel movie appearances, that’s got to be a lot of suits. Tash said: “When you’re at home with the kids, cooking their tea, and then you get sent videos of men in a pub singing your song, I’m like, ‘What the hell is going on?’” Liz, Tash and bandmate Jenny Frost only recorded the new version last Monday. And Tash says she has no idea what happens next for the band, adding: “Things have moved that fast. It’s literally off the cuff, but a lot of fun.” And don’t be surprised if you see the girls at Wembley today too. Liz giggled: “Fingers crossed.” Well, that’s one way of getting a ticket. perry hits movies AEROSMITH star Joe Perry used the delay in his band’s 50th anniversary tour to write movie music. The guitarist composed five songs with Alberto Bof for the film City Of Lies. He revealed: “I heard about it from Johnny Depp, who acted in the film, and we talked about the film’s story. “It was generating some controversy regarding the unsolved murders of The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur. The big question in the film was ‘who murdered them?’ A detective had tried to solve the murders for a long time.”

Vicky Lissaman tracks down the grandest of geological quarry... Uluru, Australia The epitome of desert stillness, this sacred sandstone rock is one of the world’s largest monoliths, rising almost 1,000 feet in the air, with a trip around its base stretching for five-and-a-half miles. Known as Ayers Rock until 1993, it became the first icon in Australia to be given back its Aboriginal name, paving the way for a wave of dual-named sites and landmarks across Australia. It was originally called Uluru by the local Anangu people. But when British surveyor William Gosse ‘discovered’ the monolith in 1872, it was named Ayers Rock after the former chief secretary of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers. Dwarfing everything around it, its appearance changes dramatically with the shifting light and the seasons. Sacred sites are dotted around the base and entry is restricted by Anangu law. ■ ■ More info: parksaustralia.gov.au TURN TO PAGE 36 Tickets for the pandemicdelayed Expo 2020 Dubai will go on sale from next Sunday.

Operating as a federal penitentiary from 1934, infamous inmates Al ‘Scarface’ Capone and the ‘birdman’ Robert Stroud helped to establish the island’s grim reputation. Although dozens of attempts were made, no prisoner successfully escaped from what was considered the world’s toughest maximum security prison. It eventually closed in 1963 due to spiralling costs – all provisions had to be shipped in, which was expensive, and the buildings were crumbling due to exposure to salty air. The island became part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in 1972 and was opened to the public a year later. Around a million tourists visit Alcatraz annually with tours departing from Pier 33 on the hour. ■ ■ More info: nps.gov

The movie, which referred to it as a ‘mushroom-shaped rock’, suddenly ignited Phang Nga bay’s tourism industry, and it was re-named James bond Island.

Here we learn how Natasha Romanoff, who was killed off in the last Avengers film, became the haunted former assassin known as Black Widow. The main action takes place after 2016’s Captain America: Civil War as the outlawed Avenger uses her time on the run to confront her past. An opening flashback to 1995 reveals a young Natasha was part of a sleeper cell of Russian agents and hiding in suburban Ohio with her fake parents (David Harbour and Rachel Weisz) and an orphan who unwittingly played her younger sister Yelena. As gunfire rages, the spies make their escape to a sloweddown cover of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit (will breathy singers ever leave the 90s alone?). When we jump forward 21 years, Natasha is on the trail of Dreykov (Ray Winstone, still rubbish at accents), the Russian general who turned Natasha and her “sister” into chemically controlled assassins after they fled America. After reuniting with Yelena (Florence ‘‘ She’s on the trail of the Russian general who made her an assassin Pugh), they track down their fake mum and dad and set off to take down Dreykov, battle his cyborg assassin Taskmaster and free the rest of Dreykov’s brainwashed drones with a mind-freeing drug. There’s amusing banter for Pugh and Johansson, and Harbour hams it up as nicely as a former Soviet superhero who has gone to seed. But attempts to add shade to Natasha’s character are always interrupted by the next action scene. The finale, another airborne scrap with things blowing up, is well staged but familiar. Black Widow is an entertaining diversion and an opportunity missed. BLACK MEDICINE Cert 15 ★★ On digital platforms from tomorrow A brilliant performance from Antonia Campbell-Hughes brushes against a rather thin plot in this stylish psychological thriller. The Northern Irish actress, who was so haunting in last year’s Cordelia, returns to her homeland to play Jo, a struck-off medic who performs operations for the criminal underworld. Jo is about to hurl herself off a multi-storey car park when she gets a phone call inviting her to perform another backstreet op. While she efficiently stitches a thug together, Campbell-Hughes gives a sense of something very dark bubbling beneath Jo’s placid exterior. And it resurfaces after an unexpected encounter with a teenage runaway. Jo is driving back from a meeting at the mansion of crime lord Bernadette (Orla Brady) when she discovers the runaway, Áine (Amybeth McNulty), hiding on her back seat. Áine tells Jo that she had agreed to sell her kidney to Bernadette but she wants to back out and now fears for her life. As a maternal instinct kicks in, Jo agrees to try and get her out of Northern Ireland to England. And when Bernadette asks Jo to help perform an illegal heart transplant on her daughter, using “somebody on life support” as a donor, Jo suspects Bernadette wants something a lot more vital to Áine than a kidney. But after an intriguing set-up, the plot fails to deliver enough twists and turns. By the time we get to the predictable finale, the tension has flatlined. FAIR PLAY Jeanne’s lust for a fairground ride THE SURROGATE Cert 15 ★★★★ In cinemas now Writer-director Jeremy Hersh explores big issues in this compelling, thoughtful, and well-acted drama. Jess Harris (Jasmine Batchelor) is a bubbly 29-year-old Brooklynite who agrees to be an egg donor and surrogate for best friend Josh (Chris Perfetti) and his wealthy husband Aaron (Sullivan Jones). As Aaron is a lawyer, the three are convinced they have covered every eventuality. The men will raise the child as their own, with Jess taking the role of a supportive aunt. “They’re the parents, I’m just the vessel,” she tells a waitress when this unconventional family celebrate her pregnancy with dinner. Then, about 10 minutes into the film, their plans are thrown into chaos when a prenatal test reveals the unborn child has Down’s syndrome. Josh and Aaron are devastated but Jess cajoles them into accompanying her to a Down’s syndrome support group. While the men seem uncomfortable playing with the children, Jess arranges a dinner with Bridget (Brooke Bloom), exhausted mother of a highfunctioning child called Leon. Jess falls in love with the adorable toddler but Bridget seems concerned by Jess’s rose-tinted view of parenting a disabled child. It all starts to fall apart when Jess decides to have the child on her own. A series of beautifully written clashes reveal how the characters’ different viewpoints are informed by gender, race and class. The cast mostly come from New York theatre and there is a slightly stagey feel to the wordy drama. But the director never lets his camera upstage his talented performers and keeps a tight hand on the plot. His refusal to craft heroes or villains means we’re never sure how it will play out. FALLING APART Aaron, Jess and her best friend Josh JUMBO Cert 15 ★★ In cinemas now This subtitled drama was inspired by a bizarre 2007 news story about a woman who married the Eiffel Tower. Belgian director Zoé Wittock’s achingly quirky debut drama sees a cleaner engage in a passionate affair with a secretly sentient fairground ride. Lights flash and oil drips as quiet Jeanne (Noémie Merlant) gets it on with Jumbo – a tall, dark and supposedly handsome Tilt-A-Whirl. It’s clear Jumbo has some impressive moves but why he’s alive (he communicates via his coloured bulbs) is never explained. As dreary Jeanne doesn’t have much to say either, the film’s appeal will be mostly limited to fans of very specialist websites.

racing Super Single STAYER PoISED To ScoRE CLaSS DrOP: Single can strike at Salisbury Far from disgraced at royal ascot, SINGLE takes a drop in both grade and distance at Salisbury today. Mick Channon’s four-year-old was seventh to Stratum in the Queen Alexandra Stakes. And he is fancied to take care of top weight Orin Swift and Snowalot in the 4.45 at the Wiltshire track. Conor O’Farrell is tipped to strike late on MONSIEUR CO (4.00, nap) in the Perth Silver Cup. With both M i n g Dynasty a n d L u c k y Flight sure to set a red-hot pace, there won’t be any hiding place The selection last won off a mark of 118 some seven months ago and now finds himself 6lb lower in a race set to suit his run style and any amount of the forecast rain would be a huge positive. Veteran Duke of Navan can be excused his last run as he lost a shoe, but still looks capable of playing a part here at the age of SS1ST jAcoBS’ Five-time Naps table champ moorestyle’s best bets… 13. DANCING DOUG’S (3.25) form figures may look frustrating but he has been running well and can finally open his career account at the 24th time of asking by outstaying On A Promise and Speredek. Connections will be disappointed if Irish raider HOMME D’UN SOIR (2.15) can’t land the opener at 2.15, while SARVI (5.45) is back down to a winning mark. The last named has been given a real chance by the handicapper and this sharp two-mile trip looks made to measure. BILLY’S ANGEL (2.38) finally gets the step up in trip at Styratford that he has been crying out for and can secure a fifth career win for trainer Amy Murphy. Two miles in a moderately run race was no good for him last time out at Market Rasen, but with a couple of front runners set to line up here, the nine-yearold should get a lovely tow into this contest. SIR TIVO (4.58) should complete a hattrick before his sights are raised, while TRANSLINK (5.33) looks an each-way play in a competitive race for the level. DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 39 Best bets today hot dogs with Jonathan Hobbs TOWCESTEr is quickly back racing this afternoon after staging the world’s greatest greyhound race last night with the £175,000 Star Sports and TrC Events & Leisure English Greyhound Derby Final. a 14-race card this afternoon continues a hugely busy period for the Northamptonshire track given the semi-finals of the latest GBGB Category One event, the Stadium Bookmakers Juvenile Classic, take place on Tuesday. Before then, today’s best bets could be Carol Grasso’s always thereabouts IRON BREw (4.28) and Seamus Gaughan’s FARRAN PATSY (5.28) who ran well last week. Sunday regulars Central Park (SportyStuff TV) and Swindon (Sky Sports racing) both host cracking cards with the eye-catchers being David Mullins’s CHESS (6.58) at the Kent venue and Kevin Hutton’s KINGSBOOK GLYN (8.12) at the Blunsdon circuit. ■ In association with www.towcester-racecourse.co.uk – home of the Star Sports and TRC Events & Leisure English Greyhound Derby.

cricket park life BEN STOkES led England to their first sporting holy grail of the weekend – the Royal London Series trophy at Lord’s. Now it’s Harry Kane’s turn to lift another trophy. England’s 52-run win over Pakistan gave them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the one-day trilogy. Not bad for a ‘reserve’ team cobbled together in a hurry last week when Eoin Morgan’s World Cup winners were forced into quarantine by seven positive Covid tests in the camp. Acting captain Stokes said: “The way we came out and showed intent with the bat early on really set us up. “The pleasing thing was the way inexperienced players came in and showed a positive mindset, and we were just as clinical with the ball as well. “There’s no better way in international cricket than putting your hand up and delivering under that pressure. “We’ve won the series already but there’s nothing better than continuing a winning streak. If anything we’ll come at them even harder in the next game.” Make no mistake – these lads can play. Opener Phil Salt’s 50, another great new-ball spell from Saqib Mahmood, Lewis Gregory’s contribution and wicketkeeper John Simpson all caught the eye. Pakistan may be seriously undercooked and subsided to a second limp defeat in 48 hours, but take nothing away from England’s ruthlessness understudies.

Later, Hasan’s long handle – including three sixes in one over off Matt Parkinson – injected some fun into Pakistan’s forlorn run chase, and Saud Shakeel’s 56 was admirable resistance. But by then the beer had started talking among Lord’s thirstier patrons as they toasted cricket coming home... or something like that.

TWO more Super League matches have fallen victim to Covid, adding to the huge fixture problems facing the sport. Both the Hull versus Leigh and Hull KR versus Warrington games, which were due to be played this afternoon, have gone. Several other ties already need to be rearranged before the regular season ends in 10 weeks, raising the likelihood that not all clubs will fulfil their schedules. Hull’s game was pulled after a third DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 41 Cas star Liam outlines Watts wrong in game LIAM WATTS has urged rugby league bosses to act quickly to stop the game spiralling out of control. The Castleford forward (below) is hunting his third Challenge Cup winner’s medal when the Tigers take on St Helens in Saturday’s final. But Watts, 31, said the Wembley showdown cannot calm his concerns about where the sport is heading. His catalogue of fears include player welfare due to a packed fixture list, a disciplinary system seen as unfair by players, the impact of the recent England game on some clubs and falling player numbers in the amateur game. Watts said: “There is talk of the game going part-time and it’s a sport that is getting drained from all angles. “All the negativity and some of the RFL decisions are having a major effect. There ■ EXCLUSIVE by JULIE STOTT are so many games in short periods, and so much fatigue, that it’s unattractive to watch at times. “There is just no thought for players. We’re like pieces of meat. “You can’t keep asking boys to put tired bodies on the line.” Castleford-born Watts, who won the cup with Hull in 2016 and 2017, hopes Saturday’s final will be a cracker to inspire fans. He said: “I know how sacred the Challenge Cup is to Castleford and I’d love to win it again. “My sons Tom and Blake were at my last two finals and it was the best feeling showing them the trophy afterwards.” Watts’ wife Beth will also be at Wembley but their 10-month-old son Chanse won’t be able to attend because Wembley are not allowing under-twos. clUbb back in pack TONY CLUBB returns to the Wigan pack against Huddersfield today because of lengthy injury and suspension problems at the club. Clubb, 34, (right) has served an eight-week suspension for “using unacceptable language”. Wigan only have 18 players available, with Willie Isa and Ethan Havard banned. Huddersfield had to forfeit last week’s game against Castleford 24-0 because of Covid and injury concerns.

Four more members of their top 25 paid stars are also required to isolate as close contacts, taking them to the threshold of seven senior players needed for a Covid postponement.

Rahm, 26, knocked Dustin Johnson off the top of the world rankings after sinking birdies on his final two holes to win the US Open in California. Sky Sports presenter Nick Dougherty (below) thinks Rahm is the outstanding pick of the Euro talent. He said: “My favourite is Jon Rahm. Yes, he’s just won a Major. “And you could argue that he’s just rejoicing the fact that he’s a Major champion. Let me tell you – that’s not his style. “I’ve interviewed him in the last few days and the first thing he said was: ‘Torrey Pines was great but this is now. I want to win this.’ “And that ruthless mindset is what makes him so good. “He’s the world No.1, he’s in great form, he’s got great pedigree on links courses having won the Irish Open a couple of times. I look at him and think, ‘Wow.’ “But he’s going to have to be at his best as the threat from across the Pond is strong. “The Americans are always more represented in these events because of how the world rankings work and the strength of JON RAHM can build on his first Major and beat off a Yankee charge at The Open Championship. The Spaniard triumphed at Torrey Pines but is facing another American onslaught when the 149th tournament gets under way at ■ by NEIL MOXLEY their game and the PGA Tour. It’s lop-sided in that respect. “They’re really strong. Dustin Johnson hasn’t been at his best in recent weeks but was at the end of last year. Justin Thomas has won the Players’ Championship, he’s a threat, Collin Morikawa is a Major champion and also a major threat. “And we’ve not even talked about Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau – it’s going to be really hard to get past them. “But the depth is such that the next level of golfer has to be under consideration too. There’s about 40 of them out there who, if they won, I wouldn’t be at all surprised, like Tommy Fleetwood. “My own pick is Jon but as far as I’m concerned, it’s never been a more open field.” Dougherty has walked the course this week and says accuracy off the tee is going to be the biggest pointer as to who will emerge victorious. “You’re going to have to find the fairways. You find them, you’ll beat the course,” he added. “It’s not the beefiest but you miss fairways, you’re going to have a short week.” ★ Watch every tee shot from all four days of The Open live and exclusive on dedicated channel Sky Sports The Open LEADER: Fitzpatrick wembley dash for matthew ■ by CRAIG SWAN MATTHEW FITZPATRICK is dreaming of an ASI Scottish Open and Euros double. But the English star admits his charge towards the title at The Renaissance Club is ruining his chances of getting to Wembley in time for kick-off tonight. The Sheffield ace, 26, has a ticket for the Euro 2020 Final but goes into the last round in North Berwick as joint-leader with Belgium’s Thomas Detry, meaning he won’t tee off until 1.16pm. Fitzpatrick laughed: “I’m going, regardless. Even if it’s just for the second half, I’ll get in. “I’m going to go on a plane, then a car and it will drop me off. “I could not have put myself in a worse position! The funny thing is that deep down I just knew it was going to happen.” Fitzpatrick, who shot a third-round 67, and Detry start the final round on 14-under, one shot ahead of world No.1 Jon Rahm, with Australia’s Lucas Herbert a shot further back. Scotland’s David Law and Richie Ramsay are on 10-under with Lee Westwood.

tennis it’s ash SS1ST party! aussie wins first title ASH BARTY showed why she’s the biggest noise on the women’s tour with a ‘miracle’ victory over Karolina Pliskova. The world No.1 took full advantage of the stage fright her Czech opponent suffered in the first set. And despite a rally from Pliskova (below) in the second, Barty went on to win pretty comfortably 6-3 6-7 6-3 in an hour and 55 minutes. In doing so she became only the fourth player to claim the women’s singles final at the All England Club after lifting the girls’ junior singles title. And she also became only the second Aussie woman to get her hands on the Venus Rosewater Dish after Evonne Goolagong Cawley, whose last of two triumphs on Centre Court was in 1980. That was the year before a young actor called Tom Cruise got his break in Hollywood and, four ■ by TOM HOPKINSON decades on, the superstar was among the onlookers who saw Barty claim her win. Unfortunately for Cruise and the rest of those inside this famous arena, it wasn’t a classic final. They had to wait until the third set until they were treated to some really good tennis. But that won’t bother Barty, who claimed her second Grand Slam after her 2019 French Open victory. She said: “It was the most incredible feeling I have ever experienced on a tennis court. “There was disbelief. To be successful here at Wimbledon, to achieve my biggest dream, has been incredible. “And to think it happened on the 50th anniversary of Evonne’s first victory here is incredible. “Wimbledon is where tennis was born, where so many hopes and dreams were born.” Barty suffered a hip injury at the French Open in June and was touch and go even to feature at Wimbledon. She added: “To be able to play here was nothing short of a miracle.” Barty, whose maternal grandparents hailed from England, stormed into a 4-0 lead after winning the first 14 points of the match and, although Pliskova did finally gather herself, the set was soon over. The only positive for Pliskova was those three games meant she would not suffer a 6-0 6-0 defeat as she had in the Italian Open final against Iga Swiatek this year. “I was thinking about the final in Rome and I thought, ‘This cannot be possible, it can’t happen again’,” she said. “It was maybe one of the best matches Ash played against me. “It was a horrible start so I’m proud I found a way back.” wimbledon BLIZZARD oF oZ: Ash Barty hoists the Venus Rosewater Dish on Centre Court Ashleigh BArty KArolinA PlisKovA BRITAIN’S Neal Skupski and American Desirae Krawczyk are through to the mixed doubles final.

Djokovic – definitely see him challenging become the best of all time. History will be within the Serb’s grasp today when he takes on Italian rising star Matteo Berrettini on Centre Court. Claiming a sixth Wimbledon men’s title would mean a 20th Grand Slam and equal the records set by his great rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. But former British No.1 and four-time All-England semi-finalist Henman reckons there is nothing to stop Djokovic (right) from overtaking Australian Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Major wins. Serena Williams has claimed 23, the last in 2017, but has since lost four finals to remain short of the mark. And certainly the best male player. “It’s staggering. You look at the way Novak is playing, his intensity and consistency, and I really think the Grand Slam of all four Majors is on this year. “He will go down as the greatest male player of all time but looking at that fitness, Serena Williams and then Margaret Court.” Former Wimbledon champ Pat Cash insists Berrettini, whose national team will be hoping for a win of their own at Wembley tonight, has a chance of an upset. Aussie ace Cash said: “He’s got the game to do it. I don’t think he’s going to be fazed by being in the final.” ★ DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 43 Cav: I’m no Eddy ■ CYCLING MARK CAVENDISH began the long march to Paris insisting he can NEVER be compared with Tour de France legend Eddy Merckx. Britain’s sprint ace survived the first of five punishing mountain stages after equalling Merckx’s record 34 stage wins on Friday. Cavendish, 36, took to the Pyrenees with tributes from cycling greats – including Merckx himself. But he said: “I don’t think I can ever be compared with the greatest road cyclist of all time. It’s just a number, you know? It doesn’t put me on a level with Eddy Merckx as a cyclist.” MIKE WALTERS Iddon’s Fife flyer ■ SuPERBIKES CHRISTIAN IDDoN raced to the first Bennetts British Superbike race win of the weekend at Knockhill yesterday as the series made its return to Scotland. The VisionTrack Ducati rider pipped championship leader Jason o’Halloran by 0.348secs in Fife. “I’m super pumped with this result,” said Iddon. “I’ve not felt particularly comfortable on the bike all day. “But I guess it’s doing the lap times that I need so it obviously is doing what I want – but I still need to refine the feeling with it.” Danny Buchan on the Synetiq BMW was third.

Jeremy ChIef SpORTS wRITeR FINAL CHANCE: Gareth Southgate rousing his troops in extra time against Denmark in Wednesday’s semi SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 45 cross @CROSSYDAILYSTAR All or nothing It’s vItAl thAt southgAte & hIs plAyers complete job GARETH SoUTHGATE is far too polite and sensible to even consider such an act of churlishness. But he should think twice if the worst thing happens at Wembley tonight and England lose to the Italians in the final of Euro 2020. Discarding a runners-up medal is viewed as a show of disrespect in some quarters. Back in 2015 Jose Mourinho did just that when he tossed his consolation prize into the stands after Chelsea had lost the Community Shield to Arsenal. Mourinho did remain on the pitch to congratulate every Arsenal player as they came down the steps clutching the piece of silver he had wanted. He did manage to ignore bitter rival Arsene Wenger, which kind of wiped out his otherwise great gesture. But the fact is Mourinho has no interest in second. It means nothing to him. After all, this is the man who has won 24 major honours as a manager in four different countries. He lives to win – and struggles to accept second best. So if football doesn’t happen to come home tonight and the Three Lions fall at the final hurdle, Southgate and his stars should think long and hard about bragging over what’s been achieved this summer. Second place is no good to anyone – and glorious failure isn’t to be celebrated. We’ve been guilty of this too often when it comes to football, despite not winning anything since 1966. Since then our history has been littered with close shaves, agony and despair. It’s damning of the standards we’ve come to accept that back in 1990 the England team, complete with Paul Gascoigne sporting a plastic set of boobs and bulging stomach, flew home to a hero’s welcome having crashed out of the semi-finals of the World Cup in Italy. Do me a favour. No one should remember those who come second, which is something Southgate should acknowledge if he finds himself contemplating where it all went wrong this evening. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen and that England beat Roberto Mancini’s side to become kings of Europe. It would be a phenomenal achievement and one of the greatest moments in our sporting history. Make no mistake, Southgate set out on this remarkable journey with one goal in mind – to lift the trophy. If this happens then there is no one more deserving than the man who has transformed the fortunes of our national team. He would also be deserving of all the accolades to follow, such as a knighthood and comparisons with Sir Alf Ramsey. But if we lose then the mission will have failed. Instead of lapping up messages saying ‘Thanks for the memories, mate’, Southgate would be better served using the pain of defeat as fuel to go one better and win the World Cup in Qatar next winter. Then his knighthood, statue and place at the front of an open top bus parade around London would be justified. PLANE CRAZY: Wales in Baku A bout of travel sickness UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin will be feeling smug as he takes his seat at Wembley for the showpiece final of the Euros. He has two powerhouses acting out the last scene in front of more than 60,000 supporters at one of sport’s most iconic stadiums. There have been some wonderful games, brilliant goals, dramatic climaxes, impressive refereeing and competent VAR decisions. The fact the tournament has been completed without significant disruption, due to the backdrop of the ongoing pandemic, is a victory in itself. But when Ceferin (above) takes the time to review the competition, he will know that UEFA’s flagship event has hung a bit limp at times. The decision to stage it across a whole continent in more than 10 different countries meant it wasn’t a level playing field for all those involved. Some sides travelled thousands of miles while others, like England for example, barely stepped out of their front doors. It’s no coincidence that all four teams that reached the semi-finals hosted all of their group games at home, while the likes of Wales had to travel to Baku in Azerbaijan. Players also had different weather, temperatures and atmospheres to contend with. Some teams had thousands of their own supporters behind them, but others had none. So Ceferin might argue that the tournament has been a massive success, despite UEFA taking a huge financial hit in the pocket – and to a certain extent it has been. But he would be foolish to ever consider staging a repeat of such a format.

The Three Lions reached their first final since 1966 after edging past Denmark with a 2-1 win at Wembley on Wednesday. Having guided England to successive semi-finals at major tournaments, Gareth Southgate has already established himself as the second most successful England manager ever after the great Sir Alf Ramsey. But former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Petit (below) reckons Southgate should already have one eye on the bigger prize next year. “England will be even stronger in Qatar because of the experience gained,” said Petit, who was a World Cup and European Championship winner with France in 1998 and 2000. “Players like Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Mason Mount, Jack Grealish, Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips will get better and better. ‘‘All these players have already had great seasons with their clubs and their attitude, determination and spirit are very positive. “They want to shine on the big stage, which is very important.

His existing contract is set to run out after the World Cup in 18 months time. Petit reckons it would be wise for England to stick with the former Middlesbrough boss. “This team is young and I believe Southgate is the right fit for England,” he added. “He has managed different tactics with varied first teams – and to be honest he has done well by doing that. “Beautiful football and results are very hard to get in football. “Of course you can ask more in terms of displays – but I know the difficulties of winning with beauty with France.” ● Secure free £5 Bet Builders on selected games throughout the tournament.

If england are to triumph over Italy, who have conceded three times in the last 14 games, they must bury their chances. Who better for that job than prolific Three Lions skipper harry Kane, with 38 goals in 60 internationals? To find the net, though, for a fifth time or more at these finals, King harry must outwit and outmanoeuvre arguably the most battle-hardened defender on the planet, Italy’s ‘King Kong’ Giorgio Chiellini. easier said than done. Chiellini, with 108 caps, claims he knows long-standing defensive partner Leonardo Bonucci better than his ‘own wife’. Whether Kane can be a marriage breaker at Wembley may define the entire night. Declan Rice v RobeRto Mancini waited on the fitness of Marco Verratti and that patience has been rewarded with the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder inspirational in the last-eight and last-four triumphs over belgium and Spain respectively. but the italian ace has yet to face three Lions lynchpin Declan Rice – and his fellow central midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

Who can seize control in the middle of the park will be so crucial. harry Maguire v v Marco Verratti Ciro Immobile ThIs battle is between two players doing the opposite at the finals. Lazio ace Immobile, europe’s top scorer in 2019-20, has gone off the boil since lighting up the group stages while Maguire – injured for england’s opening two matches – has returned at the very top of his game. Immobile’s understanding and interchanging with Marco Verratti and Lorenzo Insigne – they played together at Pescara early in their careers – makes marking him a defender’s nightmare. however, Man United skipper Maguire has excelled in the knockout wins over Germany, Ukraine and Denmark, as he and fellow Yorkshireman John stones defend in perfect, synchronised tandem.

He has worked with Pickford for the last four years in the Goodison set-up. “As a coach I’m just looking and hoping it goes well for him and he gets the right result. “All those experiences he’s had, of playing in major semi-finals and playing in the Nations League, is something that’s going to stand him in good stead. “But he’s going into a final, especially of this magnitude, and it’s another step forward for him. “My advice for Jordan is just to be himself.

That’s the view of the Azzurri’s midfield general Jorginho, who loves playing under Roberto Mancini. Former Manchester City manager Mancini has turned around his nation’s fortunes after they failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

MASON MOUNT says England’s European Championship Final against Italy is the most monumental match of his already glittering career. Talk about the young Chelsea star, 22, notching up some massive games and occasions over recent months. Firstly, there was going all the way in the Champions League with his club last season, including upsetting the form book in the final by beating Manchester City in Porto. But that amazing night with Thomas Tuchel’s Blues has already been eclipsed by events at the Euros – and, in particular, the euphoric midweek semi-final victory over Denmark. And still the games get bigger – and better – with Mount insisting the country’s first major final in 55 years, at Wembley this evening, surpasses all that has come before. Summing up the mood of an expectant English nation, the Three Lions ace spoke about the opportunity awaiting Gareth Southgate’s heroic history-makers. Mount, who will win his 21st cap against Roberto Mancini’s Azzurri, said: “The last game we played was, for all of us, the biggest game of our lives. And now it’s an even bigger game. “It’s an experience we’ve never had before – playing for our country in a major final – but it’s something we thrive off. “We have never won a European Championship before and we have not been in a final since 1966. It’s a massive game for the younger players – and for all of us as a group.” Emulating the feats of Sir Alf Ramsey’s World Cup winners is the target and Mount knows ending England’s five decades – ■ by HARRY PRATT and more – of hurt, agony and suffering at tournaments would be an incredible achievement. However, the Portsmouth-born midfielder, such a prominent figure for club and country in the last two seasons, insists Southgate’s class of 2021 want to become legends in their own right. “We want to create our own history. We don’t look at the past too much. We just want to look forward,” he said. “We’re buzzing for the game but the most important thing is to stay calm – and go into it like we have all of the games.” Mount (left) oozes composure in just about everything he does – and the more at stake, the more he seems to excel. There have been lows too – Chelsea have lost back-to-back FA Cup finals for starters. Yet Mount is convinced Southgate’s sizzlers possess the knowledge to cope with such tensionriddled, highp r e s s u r e showdowns. He added: “It really helps to have played in a Champions League Final and had success in it. But a lot of the boys are very experienced players that have been in the big games and know how to handle it.” For Mount, there is also the opportunity to add his name to an elite group who have lifted both the Champions League and Euros. Only nine have managed that and Mount said: “To have this chance after winning the Champions League is such a special opportunity – one that rarely comes around.” SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 51 italy v england wembley ❱ today, Ko 8pm ❱ bbc & ItV Ince: Sancho on nice little learner PAUl INCE believes Jadon Sancho’s involvement with England this summer will speed up his development.

52 DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 SS1ST euro 2020 final A look in the history books... THERE have only been four meetings between England and Italy at a major finals – and the Three Lions’ record does not make for good reading. Here, David Sneyd digs through the archives. 2014 WORLD Cup gROup StAgE England 1 Italy 2 Why always him? Mario Balotelli rose highest in a penalty box in Manaus in the middle of the Amazon rainforest to break England’s hearts with a header. EuRO 2012 QuARtER-fINAL England 0 Italy 0 (Italy won 4-2 on penalties) Joe Hart gritted his teeth in the face of Andrea Pirlo in this penalty shootout. The England keeper dived, the Italian magician dinked a Panenka into the net and the Azzurri progressed. Simple. 1990 WORLD Cup thIRD-pLACE pLAy-Off Italy 2 England 1 Talk about adding insult to injury. After Pearce and Waddle’s penalty misses against West Germany, Toto Schillaci netted a winner from 12 yards six minutes from time. EuRO 1980 gROup StAgE Italy 1 England 0 England didn’t qualify for a tournament for 10 years before reaching these Euros on Italian soil. The wait was hardly worth it and Marco Tardelli’s header was enough against Ron Greenwood’s men. WINNER: Roberto Bettega after Tardelli’s goal BATTLE: Steve McMahon and Carlo Ancelotti yoU had me Kid Kane shy & not so mighty at leicester says old pal sean harry’s got the first for glory ENGLAND cult hero Emile Heskey has tipped Harry Kane to sink Italy and show the world he’s serious about silverware. The Spurs striker failed to find the net in the three Euro 2020 group games against Croatia, Scotland and Czech Republic. But he grabbed a late goal against Germany, a brace against Ukraine and the winner in the semi-final with Denmark on Wednesday. And if the Three Lions win tonight, it will be Kane’s first-ever trophy. Heskey, who was capped 62 times for England, reckons it’s time for him to silence the doubters and make history. “You want to sit in the TV studios in a few years and say, ‘When I won this and when I won that.’ “But at 27, he’s still not able to say that. In all those seasons at Spurs, he’s hitting 20-odd goals but it’s easy to overlook the goals because he still hasn’t won anything. “He needs to start getting those trophies.” Kane is one of two striking targets being eyed by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, along with Borussia Dortmund hitman Erling Haaland. However, Dortmund are reluctant to let Haaland leave now having sanctioned Jadon Sancho’s sale to Manchester United. Heskey (above) reckons Kane’s recent England form means a Tottenham exit is now even more likely. “He’s put himself in the shop window,” he added. “He’s got some difficult decisions coming up. “You can always get better these days – look at Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski (left). “But you’ve got to be pushed and he needs to be with the top players in the world to take himself even further. “Some players want to be loyal and stay but to reach the levels they can do, they have to leave.” ALEX WOOD HARRY KANE may now be England’s inspirational and vocal captain. But just eight years ago he was a shy youngster looking to make his mark on the game. The Three Lions hitman, who has now found the net 38 times for his country, went to Leicester aged 19 and struggled for game time and goals. He only netted twice during a half-season loan and found it difficult to make his mark off the pitch as well as on it. His old Leicester team-mate Sean St Ledger said: “We had an experienced changing room and Harry came in and he was really quiet. He kept himself to himself. “He did not interact with too many people outside of the training ground. “He never really interacted on nights out with any of the boys. Looking back on it now, he probably had a real focus and drive and determination. “The loan wasn’t really successful but he’s the ultimate professional now. “He leads the team with his high standards, young players look up to him and you could see that and his commitment to be the best. “I guess you develop that personality and character as you grow older.” Even then St Ledger, now part of Leicester’s scouting staff, could see Kane’s potential. He is now on a par with the best strikers in the world – and the ex-Foxes defender reckons golf helped him out. eXClUsiVe ■ by IAN BAKER St Ledger, 36, said: “He loved his golf, he was always out practising his swing on the golf course. “He showed personality on the training pitch and focused there. “On the pitch he had one of the best techniques I’ve seen. If he had five minutes spare he would shoot and pass after training. “One of the most difficult skills in football is to hit a ball with topspin, over the wall and come down. “I see now watching him play for Tottenham and England he has the ability to put top spin or swerve on it to get the ball to drop down. It’s quite a technique. NO FOX IN BOX: Kane during his mediocre spell at Leicester Harry was very accurate when he was shooting – it was phenomenal. “His technique was unbelievable, just to be able to put fade on the ball, swerve, all that kind of thing. “It must have taken him hours to learn. “It was difficult to play against him in small-sided games in training – he could easily get a yard using either foot.” But St Ledger admits he is stunned by Kane’s emergence as a superstar in front of goal. The former Republic of Ireland man, who himself has scored at a European Championship, added: “In training he always used to drop deep, he was never one to stretch defenders. “If you had asked me at the time if he would be top scorer in the Premier League and score however many goals he has done for England I would have said, ‘No, not a chance’. “I was unsure he would ever even get 20 goals a season.” KANE REACTION: Skipper nets winner against Denmark

That’s the upbeat message from captain Harry Kane to his team-mates as he prepares to lead them into battle against Italy at a rocking Wembley. At stake is the European Championship trophy – and the opportunity for Gareth Southgate’s side to lift the country’s first major silverware since Sir Alf Ramsey’s men won the World Cup in 1966. But as the entire nation is gripped by anticipation and expectation, Kane insists the Three Lions can not afford to get caught up in the hype sweeping the land. On the eve of the Euros final, the England skipper said: “I CAPTAIN CALLING: Harry Kane has laid out the instructions to the Three Lions ■ by HARRY PRATT feel like the team is in a good place, and there is really good self-belief among us. “But It’s a major final. It’s not going to just happen easily. It’s about doing what we’ve learned over the last few years as a group. “That’s being calm in certain moments – and then being ruthless in other moments. That’s what we’ll need against a very good Italian side.” As for his own red-hot form, Kane admits he is just thrilled to be fit for the biggest game of his life. Three years ago in the Champions League Final defeat to Liverpool, the Tottenham hitman was not match sharp after injury. And it was a similar story in last season’s Carabao Cup Final reverse to Manchester City. Kane, with four goals in the last three games, said: “ I ’ v e p l a y e d three finals and for two of them, I picked up injuries beforehand. “Your focus is more on getting fit than on the final itself. So, it’s nice to be going into a final free of that in my mind – and having scored in a few games as well. “I feel confident, I feel good.” Of course, should he net the decisive strike tonight, Kane will sit alongside 1966 hat-trick hero Sir Geoff Hurst in the record books as the only Englishmen to score a winner in a final. That would be a magical moment for Kane – yet, in truth, he will not care a jot who is the hero of the hour

&harry on just as long as he gets his hands on that trophy come the final whistle. “As a striker, of course, it is always the moment you dream of. You want to be the one who scores the goal, and the match-winner in a major game,” added Kane, who has blasted a total of 38 goals in 60 England appearances. “I was fortunate enough to be able to do that in the semi-final in midweek. “But I’ve always said, if it’s not me who scores, it doesn’t matter… as long as we win. “Sir Geoff has an amazing moment in history, it is the moment that everyone watches and looks back on. “I am sure he’s enjoyed that moment every bit as much as everyone else. “These occasions are there to take, and to grab – when you have opportunities to create your own history and that’s the exciting part.” While Kane, 27, will go into the Wembley decider without any injuries, Phil Foden is set to miss out with a foot problem. The England and Manchester City ace, 21, did not take part in the last training session yesterday and is rated as a major doubt to face Italy. Three Lions chief Gareth Southgate confirmed the bad news, saying: “With Phil, he’s got a very slight foot injury, which he felt after training on Thursday. He didn’t train today (Saturday) and I’d have to say he’s doubtful for tomorrow (Sunday). “We’ll check him again later. It’s not something that would keep him out for a long time. “But it might be that the game comes too soon.” SS1ST DAILY STAR SUNDAY, July 11, 2021 55 italy v england wembley ❱ today, ko 8pm ❱ bbc & ItV euro mIssIon now possIble From Back Page generated by 65,000 mostly week.

Mancini said: “The newspaper cover did make me chuckle. “England are stronger than us physically right across the pitch. “But the good thing is that you play football with the ball on the deck and we hope that we can do a better job on that score. “We hope the attributes we possess will be more important qualities tomorrow night. “And occasionally the smaller guy wins. “That’s happened to us in the past and hopefully it will happen again at Wembley.”

italy v england SS1ST Result! wembley ❱ today, KO 8pm ❱ bbc & ITV spark will be so fired up Gareth’s pep talk 3 ENGLAND’S players have been told to get ready for the most rousing of pre-match speeches from Gareth Southgate tonight. The Three Lions manager was famed throughout his playing career for delivering passionate words in the dressing room before matches. And his former Aston Villa team-mate Ian Taylor reckons Southgate’s words could be vital against Italy. Taylor, 53, said: “Gareth was a good leader, he always offered to do the speeches before the games. “For sure he will do his talking behind the scenes. He will have done all the pre-match stuff in the dressing room beforehand where no one will see it. “He is capable of a real rousing speech that could make all the difference. “It will be going through his mind about what he conveys to the players. He just wants them to write their own history.” Villa Park legend Taylor played alongside Southgate in the West Midlands throughout the second half of the Nineties. And he reckons there is far more to his former captain than meets the eye. Ex-midfielder Taylor said: “You never see the light-hearted side to Gareth. “It doesn’t come over on the TV. He might come out with a little quip but he is a really funny guy and very likeable. “His personality does not really come out in his style of management. He was a funny guy and very vocal. “Gareth liked to laugh and joke. “He is just so calm and you see ■ TAYLOR MADE: Former Villa team-mate Ian Taylor says Southgate is a great motivator Ian Baker Exclusive that in his management. That feeds through to the players. “Gareth never got angry at all, never got into any arguments with anyone.” It is clear that missing a penalty in Euro 96 still hurts Southgate – but Taylor reckons he has used that to England’s advantage this time around. He said: “Gareth was really devastated. We had to pick him up at Villa a little bit. “But it is just a testament to the guy that to come back from all that is just amazing. “He’s just incredible. I don’t think people realise what he actually went through. He might have made a few quid from the pizza advert. He got massive amounts of stick from us for that. “But he just laughed it all off. I’m sure privately it might have really got to him. Now he is using that experience with the players. “Gareth, for a footballer, was very intelligent. We always used to give him stick for that. He comes across so well, he’s been an incredible England manager. “If we win it will cap off so many years of hard work. I’d be so pleased for him.” Taylor believes Southgate, 50, deserves so much praise for his squad selection too. He said: “You look back on the decisions he’s made, they are all totally justified even though some were asking questions. “We now have a fantastic chance of winning it and he will be an absolute hero even though he has been questioned.” July 2018: The World Cup in Russia ends on a sour note for England as they lose third-place play-off against group rivals Belgium. September-November 2018: UEFA’s revamped international calendar saw the introduction of the Nations League, with Southgate’s men reaching the semi-finals again. June 2019: England once again could not make it past the semis with Holland this time ending the Three Lions’ run. Victory over Switzerland meant a third-place finish. November 2019: Southgate again leads England to a major finals after outclassing Montenegro at Wembley, topping the group in the process. June-July 2021: England start the delayed Euro 2020 finals with an impressive win over recent rivals Croatia. A draw with Scotland and win over Czech Republic sealed a spot in the knockout phase. Victory over Germany at Wembley, banishing the ghosts of Euro 96 in the process, propelled the Three Lions on as they demolished Ukraine in the quarter-finals before beating Denmark to seal their place in the final.

Keep calm and all will be fine.9 in association with Kyle Walker Nervy displays in the group phase have given way to powerful performances. Against Denmark, the Man City man stood firm when others started to struggle. His desire to bomb forward is infectious and if he can keep focus throughout he is the perfect pillar to resist Italy. 8 Luke Shaw Anyone seen Ben Chilwell? Nope, because Chelsea’s Champions League winner cannot get a look-in with Shaw ripping it up. The Man Utd left-back had a great domestic campaign and has been breathtaking in these finals. His combo with Sterling is vital.9 lookin winn England have reached a major final for the first time in 55 years. Here, Harry Pratt goes through the 3 Lions’ tournament so far and looks for tonight’s potential match winners among them. Tyrone Mings A supposed weak link that might wreck our tournament early – in the absence of injured Harry Maguire. Yeah, right! What a joke that proved during those opening two group games, when the Aston Villa defender deputised without putting a foot wrong. 8 top 5 goals of euro 2020 Reece James Arguably, the only player to underperform this summer. Maybe his monumental exploits on Chelsea’s flanks caught up with him. His time will come – at the 2022 World Cup – but on this occasion he could not take his chance in that Scotland stalemate back in the group stage. 6 Jack Grealish Some might have suspected the Aston Villa magician would not enjoy being in and out of the action as has been the case. But his impact off the bench is immeasurable – against Germany most tellingly – and, given he was not even in the squad before Covid, he is relishing his part. 8 Schick v Scotland 1 It feels a lifetime ago that the Czech Republic forward produced a moment that will be replayed for generations. Rumours are Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall is still tangled up in the net. 2 Insigne v Belgium Jack Grealish is not the only one who pulls off the socks-aroundthe-shins look. Lorenzo Insigne (right) showed he’s a cut above, curling a delightful shot into the top corner against Belgium in the quarters. 3 Modric v Scotland Some hailed it as the goal of the tournament. Caressing the ball with the outside of his boot into the top corner, it was a tender moment of deadly skill that crushed Scotland’s dreams of the knockout stages. 4 Benzema v Switzerland Some goals provide an instant reaction of amazement. We will be watching this one back in years and still wondering how Benzema (above) took it under control. A striker supreme. 5 Damsgaard v England There has only been one direct free-kick scored in the tournament so far. Some felt England stopper Jordan Pickford should have done better, but Damsgaard’s strike had it all, power, swerve and dip. by DAVID SNEYD Bukayo Saka Teenage Arsenal sensation, 19, who is defying logic that, at the highest level, inexperience is an issue. The way he singlehandedly drives England forward and opponents backwards, just when required, is simply astonishing. All he needs is a goal tonight to round off a super event. 8 Mason Mount Champions League winner has had a decent tournament without hitting any breathtaking heights yet. Still has time to be the country’s shining jewel in the crown against Italy, where his influence from back to front in all aspects can be the difference. 8 Phil Foden How good England have been is highlighted by them not needing Foden’s midfield talents – or at least not after he was left out after opening game booking. But he returned late on against Denmark with a sense of purpose. His knack of maintaining possession in a crowd is priceless. 7 Kalvin Phillips Premier League followers knew nothing this time last year about Leeds’ midfield lynchpin. Crikey, how fast that has changed. Almost as fast as those relentless interceptions and pin-point distribution to boot. He sparked England’s glory charge with assist in opener. 8

Graceful, composed, physically strong and quick – on floor and in the air – he has been as integral as any to the tightest defence on show. One more time, tonight, please, John. 9 Declan Rice The most improved England star at the tournament – with his brilliant club form being transferred to the world stage seamlessly. His work, tackling and passing makes him the best rising holding midfielder In game and will be a thorn in the Italians’ side. 8 5 memories of euro 2020 Danish Solidarity 1 In years to come, the protective ring the Danish players formed around Christian Eriksen while he was saved by medics on the pitch will become the enduring image of these Euros, one which encapsulates the bonds that form as part of a team. The Joys of Neil 2 Diamond Sweet Caroline has been a soundtrack to England’s success and if Gareth Southgate can lead his men to glory today, he can live his life Forever in Blue Jeans without anybody questioning his fashion choices. Chiellini’s Calm 3 The sight of Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini joking, laughing and then bearhugging Spain captain Jordi Alba before their semi-final penalty shootout was a thing of beauty in the art of gamesmanship. 4 Ronaldo the Record Breaker The Portuguese great didn’t reach the final, but his second goal against Hungary made him the all-time highest scorer (11) in the Euros. Mbappe Miss 5 The French star is the heir to Messi and Ronaldo as the game’s greatest, but his shootout miss against Switzerland will now form a cornerstone of his career. by DAVID SNEYD Raheem Sterling Doubts about the Man City man’s ability to be a Euro star have been smashed to smithereens. Every game, every weaving dribble has had an effect. Four goals – and plenty of assists – make him the Three Lions’ top man at the finals. 9 Jordan Henderson So now we know why the gaffer was so desperate to have the Liverpool skipper about the place. Not just for obvious experience off the field but for unwavering commitment on it. Scored seconds after coming on against Ukraine - and great cameo against Danes. 7 Dom Calvert-Lewin Everton striker looked in contention for a genuine part on England’s glorious run before Kane began to find the net again. Harsh not to even be among subs for semi-final – could face similar heartache. 6 Harry Kane Still not at his deadly, most-lethal-finisher-inthe-world best. However, the Three Lions’s captain is leading the country all the way. That’s the measure of King Harry. By the way, he’s only got four goals. Golden Boot No.2 is still on! 8 Jude Bellingham Turned 18 earlier this month, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder has found appearances dwindling the longer the tournament goes. But that’s no reflection on his superb outing in first game against Czech Republic. Could figure in final tonight if needs be. 7 Marcus Rashford Barely been seen but the Man Utd man underlined his usefulness with a decent showing as a sub in rout of Ukraine in the quarters. Six months ago, he would have been an automatic starter, but appears as integral to set up even on bench. Class act. 6

SS1ST 6 in association with Result! euro 2020 final a northern ■SILKY SKILL: John Stones keeps his cool when on the ball ■MAN OF STEEL: Harry Maguire is leader of the Three Lions’ so solid crew United & City are base for glory ■ SPEED KING: Kyle Walker has got the pace to go with talent In 1966, West Ham famously won the World Cup. Now Manchester could win the European Championship. But it is not United or City, instead the two clubs have combined to make what is without doubt Euro 2020’s most stingy rearguard. England have conceded only one goal in 570 minutes of the tournament so far and, their diligent defenders may note, never in open play. Jordan Pickford has only been beaten by Mikkel Damsgaard’s brilliant free-kick for Denmark. He has been expertly protected. Only Germany have allowed fewer Richard Jolly Reporting shots on target, and England have played 210 minutes more than their last-16 victims. It is a triumph of Gareth Southgate’s back four, of two club partnerships. On the right are the City double act of Kyle Walker and John Stones, to their left the United duo of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw. They are rivals in Manchester derbies, allies in shielding Pickford. They have got chemistry, on and off the field. Walker and Stones are great mates. “Probably the only conversation me and John don’t have is about football,” joked Walker a couple of years ago when winding up Barnsley boy Stones by pretending he comes from the right-back’s native Sheffield. Maguire calls Stones “a good friend – I grew up with him.” He talks to Stones regularly and to Shaw all the time. “Luke probably gets it more than everyone else because he’s stood alongside me,” he admitted. But the best form of Shaw’s career has come since United signed Maguire. He urges the left-back to go forward. Southgate’s defence are defined by their differences. They are the sprinter, the sweeper, the stopper and the supplier – three Yorkshiremen and a southerner. Walker is England’s oldest player but perhaps also their fastest. He complained last year when Raheem Sterling got given a higher score for pace on the Fifa computer game, even though his mark was 92 out of 100. His acceleration makes him England’s insurance policy. Stones’ reliable passing makes him England’s classiest player at the back. He has a 95.5 per cent pass completion rate in Euro 2020 when only five Spaniards have found a team-mate more often. But the best centre-back partnerships can be formed by opposites. Maguire provides the steel to complement the silky Stones. The figure nicknamed ‘Slabhead’ by his old Leicester team-mate Jamie Vardy has the aerial ability of old-fashioned centre-halves. He won nine headers in the semi-final against Denmark. If Walker has become a defensive full-back, Shaw is an attacking one. He has earned comparisons to the great

SS1ST italy v england Result! wembley ❱ today, KO 8pm ❱ bbc & ITV powerhouse Unsung pair are 7 making history The first time Gareth Southgate led England to a semi-final, his midfield did not include Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips. That would have been doubly ludicrous. Rice had won his third Ireland cap a month before England faced Croatia in 2018. A few weeks earlier, Phillips and Leeds had finished in the bottom half of the Championship. For different reasons, neither felt like the final pieces of Southgate’s jigsaw. Now they look so indispensable that there is no doubt they will keep Jordan Henderson, Liverpool’s Champions League-winning skipper and Harry Kane’s vice-captain, on the bench tonight. The unlikely lads’ reinvention began in 2018. The London-born Rice rejected further call-ups for Ireland. Phillips was transformed by Leeds’ appointment of Marcelo Bielsa, surprised to be rebranded from a goalscoring midfielder to a defensive one. Southgate took note. He would have called Phillips up for the March 2020 internationals but they were cancelled. Phillips still made his England debut before his Premier League bow. Neither he nor Rice has ever played in the Europa League, let alone the Champions League, but they are in the Euro 2020 Final. A graduate from the Championship’s school of hard knocks has terrorised internationals. “The By Richard Jolly two players in midfield, Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips, ate up the grass and were animals in there,” said Raheem Sterling after the semi-final. They certainly are one animal in particular – they are workhorses. Phillips is the all-action ball-winner. Southgate’s analysts study the statistics. They will be aware of the charts for pressures in the middle third of the pitch, the number of ‘Rice and Phillips ate up the grass, they were animals in there’ times a midfielder hassles and harries an opponent. Italy’s Jorginho is third, on 112. Austria’s Konrad Laimer is second, with 151. The runaway leader is Phillips, on 172. He has been indefatigable and irrepressible while Rice has covered behind him. Their relentless efforts have brought them a torrent of praise. Jose Mourinho talked about “the amazing Euros that both central midfielders is doing.” England’s Euro 96 captain Tony Adams applauded them for the “fantastic wall of defence” they have built in front of the back four. And former England boss Fabio Capello said: “Kalvin Phillips and Declan Rice are two phenomenal players, the secret of this great England. If the defence is iron, it is thanks to them.” With only one goal conceded so far – and even that from a stunning direct free-kick in the semifinal, it is iron. The pair are a twist on an old theme. It was West Ham and Leeds at the heart of the England defence in 1966, in Bobby Moore and Jack Charlton. Now it is West Ham and Leeds protecting the defence. It is a nod to history as Rice makes history. He will become the first Republic of Ireland international to play in the final of a major tournament, just not for them. And it is a tale about their grandparents. Rice’s came from Cork, qualifying him for Ireland, but emigrated to England. Phillips’ grandmother helped raise him but died of Covid in February. He celebrated the semi-final win with a shirt with his number and ‘Granny Val’ on the back. In very different ways, their families have propelled them to this point. ■ BRAZIL BLEND: Luke Shaw is channeling his inner Roberto Carlos Brazilian Roberto Carlos and been branded ‘Shawberto Carlos’. David Beckham is the only England player ever to create more goals in European Championships. He made one goal against Germany and two against Ukraine, so Shaw could top the Euro 2020 assist charts. But rewind to autumn and neither Shaw nor Stones was in the England squad. Both Walker and Maguire were sent off in disgrace. From those unpromising starts to the season, Manchester’s awesome foursome have forged England’s iron defence. Now they are one clean sheet from glory. ■IRON MIGHTY: Declan Rice (left) and Kalvin Phillips have been amazing in midfield

8 Result! euro 2020 SS1ST in association with italy v england final wembley ❱ today, KO 8pm ❱ bbc & ITV mind on the job ■ RIDING HIGH: England listen in ahead of final Leadership In Gareth Southgate, we have a manager who in many ways goes against stereotypes of leadership. He isn’t dominant, aggressive, or ego driven. He’s authentic, resilient, open – and clearly has a great relationships with the players. Of course, Jack Grealish won’t have been happy being taken off against Denmark, but I’m sure he will ultimately respect the decision. They trust him and he backs them – he showed this by sticking with Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling amid criticism – and this instils confidence and helps them to play with freedom. Southgate the player was at the heart of one of our most disappointing moments. But as a leader he has already given us some of our best. In the days and moments leading up to the Euros final, he and his assistants will be keeping things as normal as they can. And they’ll be looking after the players, checking in with them as individuals, as well as running their group meetings. TRUST This group have been laying the groundwork England’s players and staff are getting ready for the biggest game our country has seen in over 50 years. So, what will they need to consider ahead of it? Here, sports psychologist Tom Young (below) runs through the Three Lions’ preparations. and preparing for this moment for years. Kane, Sterling, John Stones and Jordan Pickford all played under Southgate in the Under-21s, experiencing tournament football. At the World Cup in 2018, the players talked of sharing stories of their individual journeys. That openness and vulnerability builds trust. Whereas in the past, we have perhaps had a group of talented individuals, impacted by cliques from their domestic club rivalries, today we have a group that is genuinely bonded by shared experiences. INDIVIDUALS The beauty of team sports is that they often bring together a range of characters to form a powerful collective. With that in mind, each player will prepare in their own way. Some will want to have lots of information and analysis, others want to keep it simple. Some will need to calm themselves down and others might ramp things up. We talk of a “high-performance mindset” but everyone achieves that in their own way. KEEP IT SIMPLE Before a final, it can be tempting to do something different or special. The players know it’s not normal, of course, but we don’t need to add any more fuel to that. I’m sure they will arrive at the stadium at the same time, wear the same style clothes, do the same pre-game walk and treat it like any other game – even though it isn’t. THINKING TRAPS Psychologists will often work with players on their inner dialogue or self-talk. We want players in a “challenge mindset”, focusing on the opportunity in front of them, rather than the threat of a situation. Sometimes, we can fall into thinking traps. Examples include getting caught in “what if” thinking, playing different scenarios over in our heads, or focusing on external factors. Within the England camp, psychologists have become a normal part of the support staff – so this isn’t something that they will only start working on 48 hours before the final. Again, it’s something they’ll have worked on proactively over the last few years. REACTIONS We saw against Spain that Italy’s experienced players will try to influence opposition players. Giorgio Chiellini in particular is a master of the psychology of the sport and his presence transmits a confidence to his team-mates. He will try to get the edge over our players. Ahead of the penalties against Spain, he clearly physically and psychologically dominated Jordi Alba. England’s players must stand up to this but react in the right way. PENALTIES I didn’t want to mention this and I hope we don’t need it, but come on, it’s England. There is great research on what can give a team an edge on penalties. Under pressure, you might see players speed up their routines (like Kylian Mbappe for France) and react quicker than usual to the whistle. This can be a sign of avoidance, wanting to get it “over and done with”. The best penalty takers can remain present, operate at their pace and own the moment. ● Tom Young is a leading sport psychologist and author of ‘The Making of a Leader’ which is available now

CELEB CHAT ‘We didn’t anticipate blood!’ Emma Willis on accidents in the kitchen during her new celebrity cooking contest and bonding with her co-host Tom Allen From The Voice UK, to The Circle, to her gorgeous fashion collection at Next – everything Emma Willis does leaves us wanting more. Well, we’re in luck as the 45-year-old fronts Cooking With The Stars. The show sees eight famous faces and their chef mentors battle it out under intense time pressure as they attempt to produce restaurantquality meals. Emma explains, “Some of the celebrities had never cooked anything before and some of them had cooked a bit, so it was interesting to watch how competitive people got.” When it comes to cooking for the family, Emma reveals she and husband Matt Willis, 38, “share” the responsibility. Saying that, the star isn’t immune to the occasional kitchen mishap and admits she may have had to retrieve dinner from the floor a few times! Emma and Matt live in their Hertfordshire home with kids Isabelle, 12, Ace, nine, and Trixie, five. After Emma’s recent jaunt to Warwick Castle with family friends Tom and Giovanna Fletcher, we’re keen to learn more about her celebrity circle – especially since a couple of them will be appearing in the show. Here, Emma reveals how her pals AJ Odudu, Harry Judd and Denise Van Outen fared on Cooking With The Stars and we find out more about her new bond with co-host, comedian Tom Allen... Hi Emma! Can you tell us about the show? We have eight celebrities who are paired with eight chefs and those celebrities compete against each other each week cooking a different themed cuisine. It’s really tense, it’s really emotional and it’s quite funny. We hear it’s a bit gruesome... It is! There was quite a bit of blood. There was a running joke on set that the medic had more airtime than Tom Allen and I think it’s the one thing none of us had really thought about. We knew there would be competitiveness and giggles, terrible food and good food, but we didn’t anticipate the blood. 4 TV LIFE You’re no stranger to the McFly boys. How did Harry Judd do in the competition? Harry had an accident with a knife! He picked some herbs with one hand, had his knife pointing the wrong way in the other and, as he went to chop, his hand went straight down on to the blade. I was like, “Oh my God.” But he would not stop! No one did. Everyone just carried on and Harry went on mixing with one hand while his other one was being bandaged. So Denise Van Outen’s fear of knives is justified?! Denise was hilarious. Where Harry kind of went rogue with his knives, Denise was the polar opposite. She couldn’t use a sharp knife, so she had a little baby blunt knife that she literally used to cut everything. Why did she go on the show? Denise’s partner [Eddie Boxshall] does all the cooking in her house, but she really wanted to learn how to cook for her daughter, Betsy. Johnny Vegas was a bit like that too. His son’s started getting into cooking, so Johnny really wanted to learn how to cook well and pass on his recipes. That’s lovely. Did it ever get really competitive? Within a day or two! We bagged eight celebrities who all came in thinking this was an amazing opportunity to learn how to cook and be taught by the best chefs in the country. Then, all of a sudden, everyone was like, “Hang on a minute, I actually want to win this.” But the competitiveness comes across in a really nice way. So there weren’t any spats? They all had each other’s back, but when it came down to the cook-off they were like, “I absolutely adore you mate, but I really want to win this so, you know, best of luck.” It was a lovely thing to watch. Did they get on with their chef mentors? Thankfully! All the celebrities were doing it for their mentors and wanted to make them proud. It was honestly one of the best working environments I’ve been in for a really long time. It was so lovely. The celebs battle it out in the kitchen What were everyone’s cooking skills like at the start of the show? I mean, you’re essentially dealing with people who have very little cooking experience. Some of them could probably master toast and that was it. That’s not a joke! But there were a couple of surprises where you thought, “Surely they don’t know ‘Oh my God, I love Tom Allen so much!’ what they’re doing,” and they were actually quite good. AJ Odudu is also a big personality on the show. How did she get on? She loves cooking, but she’s much more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-herpants type of girl and doesn’t like to follow recipes. AJ had to really rein herself in and do what she was taught by her chef partner, Jack Stein. They were a fantastic duo. The two of you are quite close, aren’t you? She’s a really good friend of mine. What was it like working with Tom Allen? Oh my God, I love him so much. I want him to come and live with us. He was brilliant. I didn’t really know him – I obviously knew who he was and I’d watched him but I’d never actually met him. AJ knew him really well though and she said, “You’re going to absolutely love him and you’re going to get on brilliantly.” And she was absolutely right! Did you form a bond throughout the show? We literally spent all day every day with each other, even on our breaks. Sometimes at lunch you just go and collect your thoughts and have a moment… or nap! But we were like, “Let’s have lunch together. Let’s have dinner!” I love him. He’s just a brilliant, lovely and funny guy. How much of the food did you guys get to taste? Tom and I were the only people who didn’t have a proper plate to eat off. Quite frankly, we looked like stray dogs that had never been fed. We would just go and eat whatever was left in the pans. How much of a foodie are you and did you pick up any tips? I found that I’ve been doing a lot wrong over the years. Like, “What do you mean you don’t make carbonara with cream?!” I’m one of those people who tend

Emma says she got on very well with Tom to add a bit of this and a bit of that, which is great because you’re just trying things. But when I watched the professionals, I realised that I’m overdoing everything. They say less is more, and they’re right. What’s your signature dish? Curry. We ate it a lot growing up so I was kind of raised on it. If I’ve got to cook a meal for a bunch of people, that’s my go-to. Have you had any major disasters in the kitchen? I’ve dropped food on the floor. Then you ask yourself, “Do I pick it up and not tell anyone? Or do I just put it in the bin and start again?” If it’s a random roast potato I’ll just pick it up and not tell them! Are there recipes you’ll be trying at home? They cooked a chicken breast in butter and I mean they almost boiled it in butter. My God, it was good. I didn’t even know you could do that. We’ve had a year of cooking at home or ordering takeaways. What are you looking forward to about having a bit more freedom? When the world was normal and I did go for dinner, I only ever went to two restaurants, but there are so many fantastic places out there! Now that I’ve met eight chefs, I can’t wait to go to their restaurants and taste the way their food is genuinely meant to be made.

‘It’s important to have a life beyond acting’ Actress Charlie Brooks says there’s more to her than playing the villain CELEB CHAT After seven years away from Albert Square, Charlie Brooks is back on the box fronting Lie With Me, a new four-part drama that sees her character Anna relocate to Australia to save her marriage. With locations that give Selling Sunset a run for its money, Aussie hunk Brett Tucker playing her husband Jake and plenty of X-rated action, it’s a series that is sure to entice her army of fans. And for Charlie, 40, who’s best known as Walford’s wicked Janine Butcher, it provided a distraction from the pandemic, as she swapped Britain for sunny Melbourne. We catch up with the actress to find out about soap opera snobbery, her self-imposed booze ban and how she’s encouraging her daughter Kiki, 16, to keep her options open when it comes to her career… Hi Charlie! What can you reveal about Lie With Me? I play Anna, who’s moved to Australia to try to save her marriage because it’s become very toxic and she’s been made to feel like she’s losing her mind. She was a very strong woman who did well, but she’s lost herself completely. She’s compromised herself to be with her husband. It all adds to her apparent paranoia, but little do we know what’s actually going on under the surface. You haven’t been on TV for a while – was that out of choice? I wish! No, it’s really hard. Sometimes you’re working loads and sometimes you’re not. I made a choice to go and do some theatre because it’s so far out of my comfort zone – it’s terrifying but brilliant. You do self-taped auditions for TV all the time and don’t get them, which can be soul-destroying, but you just continue. How do you keep your confidence up when you suffer knockbacks? I think it’s really important to have a life and for acting not to be the be-all and end-all of everything. I have a great life with really great family and With Kiki after winning I’m A Celeb in 2012 friends, so that’s really important. You don’t always win with the confidence thing or feeling slightly rejected when you don’t get a part, but you just have to accept it and move on. Have you been surprised by the reaction from fans to the news you’re returning to EastEnders? Seeing all the love from fans has been quite amazing. It always makes me think fondly of the character and I’m just so happy that Janine’s been wellreceived. She’s iconic! Is there still a snobbery around soap stars? People definitely have an opinion on soap actors, but not all people and that might be changing. There have been some fantastic actors who’ve come from a soap and gone on to do some amazing things, but there’s a stigma because soaps are quick and hugely dramatised. As a training ground, there’s no better job than a soap like EastEnders. Your daughter Kiki is following in your footsteps as an actress. How do you feel about that? I don’t think anything will come as a surprise to her. I was blessed with very supportive parents, so I can only offer what I was given to her. My parents did a great job of making me feel supported and loved. At the same time, I want to encourage her to keep her options open. She’s expressive in many ways – she’s a brilliant writer, a fantastic photographer and she has great leadership qualities. So who knows where that might take her? You’ve given up alcohol – have you seen a real change in your life? Not drinking has freed up time. You don’t sit in front of the TV and have a glass, which turns into a bottle, so you have your evenings. You rediscover things you love and get productive – make stuff happen. I think consistency and balance have been introduced and all those benefits are huge. I’m just starting to look after myself more and it’s really liberating to put yourself first. ‘There have been some fantastic actors who’ve come from soaps’ Charlie in Lie With Me Janine is returning to Walford Words: KATIE BEgLEY PHoTos: sHuTTErsToCK LIE WIth ME runs nIgHTLY From mondAY To THursdAY, 9Pm, CHAnnEL 5 TV LIFE 9

Traumatised girl told how dad ‘kept shooting’ her mum Stacia Hollinshead’s obsessive ex-husband killed her while she visited his parents’ home – with their five-year-old in the next room It was time for Stacia Hollinshead to put her turbulent past behind her and enjoy the new life she had carved out for herself and her young daughter. Despite a successful 11-year career as an army intelligence officer and being a devoted mum to her five-year-old girl, Stacia, 30, had been unlucky in love. The man she married turned out to be an unpleasant character who held her back. Husband Ulisses Medina Espinosa was controlling, manipulative and erratic. The relationship was unhealthy and in 2016, Stacia decided she’d had enough and filed for divorce. The couple separated and started new lives. But sadly, instead of being the solution to their problems, it was the start of yet more. Espinosa, 33, continued to be obsessive about Stacia. He had a habit of following her and she caught him driving by her house in Sycamore, Illinois, several times. He would question their daughter to try to find out where Stacia was and even insisted that they videochat so he could verify where they were. Then there were the incessant calls – some nights he would call Stacia’s phone more than 65 times. Espinosa was unhappy about the financial agreement in the divorce, believing he had suffered because of it. And he wasn’t happy about Stacia flourishing while he wasn’t. Stacia took out a protective order against her ex, accusing him of harassment and saying he was “verbally and emotionally abusive”. The protection order stopped him coming near her and a judge granted Stacia full custody of their daughter. By 2019, it had been three years since the split, but the ordeal wasn’t over. The courts were pursuing Espinosa for child support and it only caused more strain. He was The house where Stacia was killed granted visitation rights to his little girl as long as he was supervised and took parenting classes. Stacia was not happy but she always wanted to do what was best for her daughter and she followed the letter of the law. Espinosa tried to win the tot over with gifts but she knew there was tension between her parents. Meanwhile, Stacia was determined to create a better future for herself and her girl. She completed a law degree and started a job as a prosecutor, hoping she could help make a difference in the world. She also had a new boyfriend, who made her smile instead of fearful. unprEdIcTabLE EX Sadly, her past always overshadowed things. Espinosa was still allowed to see their daughter and that meant Stacia was living with the anxiety of having her unpredictable ex in her life. But despite the issues with Espinosa, compassionate Stacia had tried to maintain a good relationship between their daughter and his parents, who lived in a small town in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. On 23 March 2019, Stacia took her daughter for a prearranged visit with her former in-laws and they caught up with news as the little girl played. But they were unaware Espinosa was on his way to the house. At around 2.45pm that Saturday, a 911 call was made from the property to report a shooting and armed police rushed to the scene. When officers arrived, they entered Stacia had got a law degree and started work as a prosecutor the house with their weapons drawn and found Espinosa’s mother crying hysterically and waving her arms in the air. “He killed her!” she screamed. “He killed her!” They found Stacia lying on the floor in the kitchen, bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds. Espinosa was kneeling on the ground and was 14 TV LIFE

Crime The killer in court via video link attorney Jim Sempf said the case was shocking immediately handcuffed as the suspected shooter. What he’d done that day was horrific. While Stacia was visiting his parents’ house, Espinosa had opened the front door and walked in uninvited. He had gifts for his daughter and after handing them to her in the living room he walked into the kitchen, where Stacia was talking to his mum. When his mum’s back was turned, she heard loud gunshots behind her. She turned to see that Stacia was lying on the floor, bleeding heavily, and Espinosa had tossed a gun into the sink. He had fired a volley of bullets and 15 of them had hit Stacia in the head and back. His mother called 911 while Stacia’s five-year-old daughter sobbed. When officers asked Espinosa his name, he simply replied, “I want to speak with my lawyer.” Espinosa’s mum said her son had WORDS: GaIL ShORTLanD PhOTOS: GETTY “never been violent” and it was completely out of character. “This is not my son,” she said. She didn’t even know he had a gun. But there had been threatening behaviour in his past and there was no question of who had killed Stacia. Espinosa was arrested and held on a $2 million bail. Investigators found body armour, military bags and rifles in is home. Fuelled by anger, he’d built up an arsenal as he plotted his revenge. The police spoke to Stacia’s daughter and her words were utterly heartbreaking. She described getting the presents from her dad when he arrived but being worried about him being He told their daughter, ‘The judge won’t hurt us any more’ there, because she knew it was a “huge problem” as her parents “aren’t supposed to see each other”. “He started shooting Mummy with a gun,” she said. “He kept shooting Mummy.” The traumatised little girl had heard it all. She added that after the shooting, her father had told her, “The judge won’t hurt us any more.” But it was Espinosa who had hurt them all with his cruelly calculated actions that day. Police discovered that he had written letters titled “Will and testament”. They outlined his debt after the divorce and custody arrangements for his daughter with her grandparents – as though he knew he and Stacia would not be around to care for her. Beaver Dam was a quiet area and it was the first murder there since 1986. Stacia’s colleagues posted a tribute to the prosecutor, who had looked to have a bright future, calling her death the “worst possible outcome of domestic violence”. At first, Espinosa claimed to suffer mental instability and suggested there had been a need to defend himself during the shooting. But in the end, to spare their daughter a harrowing trial, a plea agreement was made. In December 2020, Espinosa admitted the firstdegree murder of his ex-wife. ‘COWaRD’ JaILED FOR LIFE Prosecutors said he’d shot Stacia in his parents’ house, with their daughter in the next room, because he was unhappy about his access to his girl and he was angry about his strained financial situation following the split. “This is the most serious, most brutal and violent set of facts that I have come across,” said assistant district attorney Jim Sempf. At the sentencing this April, Stacia’s family spoke about how the hard-working, devoted mum had dreamt of being an attorney since she was a child and had finally achieved her dream through dogged determination. Dodge County assistant district attorney Kurt Klomberg said, “Ulisses Medina Espinosa is a man of terrible character and is ultimately a coward.” The judge sentenced Espinosa to life in prison as the tragic case came to an end. Stacia had finally created the life she always wanted and embarked on a career in which she hoped to make a difference by putting law-breakers behind bars. Tragically, her bright future and all the good she wanted to do was snatched away by the twisted criminal she had once hoped to find happiness with. TV LIFE 15

BLOKE CHAT ‘We should recognise people doing incredible things’ Dr Alex George tells us about plans for his popular podcast and gives his advice to this year’s Love Island contestants Alex and Boris Johnson Alex George shot to fame on Love Island in 2018 when we saw the A&E doctor first couple up with Samira Mighty, then Ellie Brown, before Alexandra Cane set his pulse racing. After calling time on their romance before the series had even ended, Alex says he has “no regrets” about his time in the villa. And now he’s gone Instagram official with his new girlfriend, barrister’s clerk Ellie Hecht. “Sometimes people feel they need to force themselves to be louder, but just go in and enjoy the experience,” he says, when asked what advice he would give to this year’s Islanders. Here, Alex, 30, opens up about how he’s coping after the death of his brother Llyr last year and what it’s like being a government mental health ambassador, and reveals his plans for his podcast… The new series of Love Island is in full swing – are you watching? I definitely do when I’ve got time in the evenings. It’s easy Getting comfortable on Love Island escapism, isn’t it? I’m excited to see what this series brings. What advice would you give to people taking part in the show? Sometimes people feel they need to force themselves to be louder, but just go in and enjoy the experience. Be yourself. I don’t think you can try to stay there longer than your time. How do you look back on your time on Love Island? I really enjoyed it. I don’t think I have any regrets. I was stressed out about being on camera, so I probably could have relaxed a bit more, but generally I had a pretty good time. I think it was a unique experience. Do you think Love Island needs to do better with regards to mental health? We are taking big steps at the moment and have done in terms of support for Islanders after the show. When the show casts people, they make sure they’re ready to be on there and check they can handle it. I work on ITV’s mental health board now and the importance of supporting the ‘You can’t try to stay in Love Island longer than your time’ wellbeing of people both on-screen and off-screen is spoken about a lot. You’re now a government mental health ambassador. What’s it been like working with Boris Johnson? It was really interesting to meet him. He’s quite a character! It’s overwhelming for me to sit there With his brother Llyr with the prime minister of this country, especially during a pandemic, which is such a busy time for any leader. You must miss your brother Llyr. How are you feeling right now? I obviously do. It’s almost a year now since we lost him, so it’s a difficult time. I’m doing OK – I’m just putting my energy into things where I feel like I can make a difference. I think I’m much happier now that I can actually see family and friends. The lockdowns were very hard, like they were for everyone, I guess. Being on your own is really tricky, but I’m getting there. Your podcast The Waiting Room With Dr Alex is great! What guests would you like to have in the future? I want to have people on there who aren’t necessarily celebrities or known faces but people who have done incredible things, whether that be in the healthcare service or in their community – things we should be recognising them for. Can you tell us about working with California Almonds? It’s a good opportunity for us to raise awareness of prioritising healthy eating and heart health and hopefully encourage people to make small and consistent changes to improve their overall wellbeing. Dr Alex is working with California Almonds to raise awareness among millennial men and encourage them to future-proof their heart health WOrDs: ELLIE KIrWIN-JONEs PHOTOs: GETTY TV LIFE 17

TV GUIDE Soaper Star! Isaac’s auditory hallucinations continue this week as Sheree tries to encourage him to take his medication to no avail. Patrick thinks Sheree’s got it all under control, but it turns out things are much worse than they imagined. Later, Isaac stops Lily and Arthur on their way home and persuades them to go on a picnic so that they stay away from Ruby’s house. Then Ruby catches him breaking into the house. And things go from bad to worse when she realises the children are missing. As Martin calls the police, Isaac makes a run for it back home to hide. Patrick tracks Isaac down so that he can calmly find out where the kids are. But, just as it looks like he’s making a breakthrough, Isaac gets scared and retreats inside. Elsewhere, Peter avoids Ash’s calls as he confides in Kathy and Bobby that he can’t be around her family. But when Ash asks Kathy if Peter’s gone off her, she serves up some home truths. He then finds Ash with another man. Plus, Chelsea attends Gray’s work drinks where his boss Laura warns her off him. With her chemotherapy under way, Martine’s hair is beginning to fall out. She turns to Misbah for advice, who tells her she needs to put herself first and slow down – but Martine’s determined to keep going. However, things soon catch up with her as she struggles to hide the side effects of her treatment and Felix is heartbroken to hear she’s been diagnosed with cancer. Later, when Martine’s enjoying a spot of retail therapy, a clump of her hair falls out. Back at home, she breaks down in tears as Felix arrives with flowers. She finds the courage to open up and agrees to let him shave her head. They spend the rest of the night together hanging out as friends – but Grace is waiting for him at home. Jimmy’s up in court this week and while Nicola thinks he did well on his first day, he’s shaken by the experience and is convinced he will be sent to prison, charged with death by dangerous driving. He’s not the most chipper of people at the best of times, but Nicola fears that he’s given up and isn’t fighting hard enough to prove that Paul Ashdale’s death was a tragic accident that couldn’t have been avoided. When Mandy steps up and reads out a speech she’s made for the judge, Jimmy is so grateful that he kisses her and is left with something else to feel guilty about. When Nicola then tries to rally Jimmy and make him see that his stilted testimony was perfect, he can’t bring himself to join in with her positivity and packs for an extended stay in prison. Will Jimmy, Emmerdale’s least likely villain, be banged up? It’s not all doom and gloom though as pregnant Gabby bonds with a delighted Noah and Tracy offloads onto Nate. We always suspected Daisy was a troublemaker, but she’s really stirring the pot this week after her steamy night with Ryan. On waking up in Daisy’s bed, he begs her not to let slip to Alya that he was with her. But that’s not how Daisy works. Meddling Miss Midgeley leads Alya up the garden path only to get a telling off from Jenny for sabotaging their relationship. After some waterworks, she spots an opportunity to join Ryan at an upcoming gig. Meanwhile, Todd is still desperate for dosh and sinks to new lows to bag a quick buck. His plan gets stickier when Will becomes involved and gives him an idea to make some cash. An unobservant Todd fails to notice Will swiping his engagement ring, which he uses as leverage. Stuck between a rock and a hard place – what will Todd do? Also, Fiz gets her own back on Tyrone and Alina when she meets a reporter who wants to tell her story. Nicolette vows to put things right, and Chloe gets a surprising offer that’s not all it seems. Elsewhere, Amy’s red-faced after thinking Ned was interested in her – but her unexpected move gets him thinking. Justin is struggling this week as he refuses to acknowledge the severity of his situation and sacks Tori as his doctor. He soon does something that leaves him ashamed. Plus, Mac hits rock bottom and Martha returns home. TV LIFE 23

HOROSCOPES WITH RUSSELL GRANT Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19 Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20 Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Beating about the bush will irritate someone who is trying to help you. You regularly give your time to others and offer to assist those in need, so you shouldn’t hesitate to ask when you need help. A close friend or partner is a tower of strength as they get involved in important arrangements you’re making. Although you are very busy, there’s an optimistic spirit in the air driving you forward. You’re tempted to give in to a relative’s pleas even though it’ll be inconvenient. They will remind you of all the things they’ve done for you, but seem to forget all the favours you’ve done for them in the past. Keeping negative thoughts to yourself is making you tense. Confiding in someone you can trust is one way to pull yourself out of the mire. Talk to a close friend and you will feel a real difference.

Take the chance to get to know someone you see most days but haven’t really talked to. You could well find yourself working behind the scenes together and this may help increase your interactions. Being willing to put effort into your goals is what will make you successful. It doesn’t matter what others say; if you’re serious about your aims, you’ll find a way to achieve them, with or without others’ support. If someone made you a promise, don’t listen to their excuses as to why they suddenly can’t keep it. Demand they honour all agreements that have been made. Preparations continue for a big event coming up.

If you need support from someone, then you’d be much better off consulting a more sensitive adviser. Don’t give up if you’re struggling to accomplish something alone. Try teaming up with like-minded people or think about turning this challenge into a community exercise – then you’ll get more accomplished. The help you need is close by. Friends and workmates who are skilled want to help, so make use of this opportunity while you can. Someone makes it clear just how attractive they find you. A heart-to-heart will encourage you to say things you’ve been thinking but haven’t yet admitted. Loved ones will be more forthcoming if you are willing to handle the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable.
