BEN WHITTAKER and Liam Cameron are finally facing off in their huge rematch TONIGHT – and the undercard is underway!

The first encounter finished in somewhat of a WWE fashion as both boxers ended up flying over the top rope leading to Whittaker leaving the arena in a wheelchair.

This left the referees no choice but to score the fight as a split-decision technical draw which has set up the perfect opportunity for these two British stars to go at it once again.

But before their mouthwatering bout, there are a number of highly anticipated fights on this brilliant Birmingham card.

• Undercard start time: 7pm BST

FORMER Fleet Street editor Anne Robinson is going back to her journalistic roots for a new show scrutinising our criminal courts – and I can reveal which emotive case she will launch with.

The first to be analysed in Channel 5’s The Sentence: You Be the Judge will be that of Frankie Jules-Hough, the Hollyoaks star who was killed in an horrific roadside crash in 2023.

The actress was pregnant and waiting in her car on a motorway after getting a puncture, when she was hit at 92mph by a BMW driven by Adil Iqbal.

He was initially jailed for 12 years for the incident on the M66 in Bury, but it was later ruled unduly lenient and increased to 15 years after her partner, Calvin Buckley, took it to the Court of Appeal.

But campaigners felt he should have received a life sentence for the crime, which also claimed the life of Frankie’s unborn baby daughter.

A TV insider said: “This was an incredibly tragic case, and one which is probably still fresh in the minds of many people.

“It is also one that will stir up a great deal of debate over exactly what sentence Iqbal should have received.

“Anne will be talking through all the different elements of the case with experts and trying to take the reins on what promises to be a controversial subject.”

The C5 programme, set to air later this year, will allow viewers the chance to compare their judgments about convicted criminals against those of real judges, and panels of experts.

Jaw-dropping story

Iqbal’s case will be one of four reconstructions of sentencing hearings, which are part of the trial system but where a jury is not involved.

Former Countdown and The Weakest Link host Anne insists that the show will explore a “widely inconsistent” side of the criminal justice system.

She adds: “This programme tells a jaw-dropping story. The Government needs to watch it.”

I think we all do.

VICK HUNT FOR TRUE LOVE

VICKY PATTISON is known as a straight-talking Geordie, but it sounds like she’s been pulling the wool over our eyes for years – because she’s confessed to telling more than a few porkies.

The reality star is the host of new Channel 4 dating show The Honesty Box, where 12 hopefuls look for love under the watchful eye of an AI-powered lie detector.

But Vicky, who will be aided on the show by Married At First Sight Australia star Lucinda Light revealed: “No one’s perfect, I’m a people pleaser.

“I just want everyone to have a nice time and be liked and stuff like that, so I’m definitely guilty of some white lies here, there and everywhere. But not on the big stuff!”

Filmed in Cyprus, the Honesty Box sees singles bare their souls to the EyeDetect technology, which measures changes in eye behaviour, such as blink rate, gaze fixation and pupil dilation, to detect lies.

But even such high-powered wizardry couldn’t stop filming being plunged into chaos by events at a nearby cheese factory.

Producer Shaun Parry revealed: “There are some things you just can’t mitigate against, such as a reggae festival at a nearby halloumi factory.

“It was around 7 o’clock in the evening and we were all set to record a big set piece in the show when the strains of very loud reggae music drifted across the valley.

“We had to delay the shoot until the next day, but from the look of some of the crew, who were bopping away to the music, they were happy to take a break.”

The Honesty Box begins next Monday at 9pm on E4.

DERMOT’S SILENCE LICENCE

HE is a safe pair of hands, but Dermot O’Leary was delighted to let loose on his new game show, Silence Is Golden.

The series sees each audience member mic’ed up, with three comedians, led by Katherine Ryan, attempting to make them laugh so they miss out on the prize pot.

The format has given This Morning host Dermot a new sense of freedom – and he even swears “F*** it!” in one clip.

He told Sunday Times Culture mag: “I’m at a stage where I just do things that interest me.

“And this seemed, well, liberating is not the word. I don’t need to be liberated.

“But there are no constraints at all.”

Silence Is Golden starts on U and U&Dave on May 5.

KATH’S NO-NO FOR JOJO

JOJO SIWA and Chris Hughes – and their growing closeness – continues to be the talk of the Celebrity Big Brother house.

On last night’s episode, other housemates debated whether Love Island hunk Chris had attached himself to the US pop star to gain fame.

But one person who has checked out of the conversation is JoJo’s partner Kath Ebbs.

The Aussie actor has snubbed the series since the onscreen chemistry began to sizzle.

Kath has not mentioned CBB online since April 11, despite a stream of support before.

Since then, Chris has told JoJo he “would kiss her” and they could “have babies together”. They also shared a massage in the hot tub.

Let’s assume Kath won’t be switching on any time soon.

The series continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

JOEY Essex’s stalker will avoid going to court because she has been deemed unfit to stand trial.

Instead the TV star will be protected through so-called safeguarding interventions — despite the woman threatening to shoot his ex-girlfriend.

The pest, in her 30s, allegedly sent Joey more than 100,000 messages, including some targeting Love Island star Jessy Potts.

But police say it was agreed that criminal prosecution was not the most appropriate course of action.

A source close to Joey said: “Naturally, he feels a little apprehensive over the news she won’t face trial — but has full trust in the process.”

The stalker, who is from the Stockport area, was reported to police in August.

Reality star Joey, 34, told us, he had to act as her messages had become threatening.

She was traced and her electronic devices, including a mobile phone and laptop, were seized earlier this year. She was bailed under strict conditions not to contact Joey.

But Cheshire Police say they have agreed with health agencies and prosecutors not to head to court.

It said: “Investigations into cases of stalking are often complex.

“Our investigation concluded the most appropriate course of action was to put a comprehensive package of multi-agency interventions in place to safeguard Mr Essex.”

Joey, who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex, split from Jessy, 25, in September blaming busy schedules.

SPRING has definitely sprung with Easter here and the promise of some sun ahead.

And it’s the perfect time to tackle your all-important lawn.

If your grass is looking tired or overgrown and neglected, it’s vital to start getting it prepped for summer as soon as possible.

Dobbies’ plant buyer Nigel Lawton said: “Spring is the perfect time to take care of your lawn and prepare it for the warmer months ahead.”
Here are the expert’s top tips for a lush lawn.

GO HIGH AND DRY

IF you’ve not given your grass the first cut of the season yet, Nigel says it’s time to start tackling it.

But keen gardeners shouldn’t do too much, too quickly.

Hel says: “You want to make sure you keep the mower blades at their highest setting for the first mow to avoid cutting the grass too short.

“It’s also essential that you only mow when the lawn is dry to avoid damaging the grass or compacting the soil.”

If you are going to cut the grass, get it done now and take part in No Mow May, a national campaign to let your garden grow in May to encourage wildlife.

CUTTING EDGE

WHEN it comes to other lawncare jobs to get your grass looking its best this spring, there are some easy steps you can make. And one involves getting to grips with the edging.

Nigel said: “A neat, clean edge makes a world of difference. By using an edging iron or a sharp spade, you can add definition to your garden.

“It’s a simple task but one that will immediately enhance the overall appearance.”

As well as making the garden look nice, this step helps prevent grass from creeping into unwanted areas, reducing weeding needs dows the line.

RAKE ACTION

GETTING rid of the top, dead layer of grass – or thatch – can give your grass a whole new lease of life.

The expert says: “Scarifying removes the dead moss and thatch that can prevent your lawn from thriving. It might look a bit bare afterwards, but don’t worry – the grass will bounce back.

“After scarifying, you’ll also want to aerate your lawn. Use a garden fork to poke holes in the ground, allowing for better drainage and root growth.”

On new lawns, wait at least a year before scarifying, otherwise you can damage the turf. After spring, the next chance to do the job is autumn time.

SOW YOUR OWN

IT’S not just about taking care of the grass you have already – getting some fresh greenery in there helps.

Nigel says it’s time to get planting too.

He explains: “Sowing grass seed is an important step to ensure you have a full and healthy lawn come summer. Simply rake the soil, scatter the seed, and lightly rake again to settle it into place. Be sure to water the area well and protect it with fleece or fine mesh to keep birds at bay.”

Choosing the right seeds is important. For a hard-wearing lawn, use a blend of perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, red fescues and browntop.

TURF AT THE TOP

Once you have prepped the lawn and sown the seeds, it’s essential you give your lawn some nutrients to ensure it stays lush and healthy.

Nigel said: “A good spring lawn feed, rich in nitrogen, will help your grass grow thick and green. I always recommend using a slow-release fertiliser that provides nutrients over time, so you don’t have to reapply as often.

“This gives your lawn a steady supply of food and helps it stay healthy throughout the growing season.”

Spring sown grass should be cut every week or so, as required, progressively lowering the height of the blades.

DAVID Beckham has shared an unseen snap of his son Brooklyn amid rumours of a family feud.

The former footballer downplayed growing rumours by uploading a series of sweet Easter photos on Instagram.

The father-of-four uploaded a series of sweet family images that showed them all celebrating Easter Sunday over the years.

The first photograph showed himself and Victoria Beckham in cute bunny-eared hats.

David then posted a throwback picture of a very young Brooklyn holding a massive chocolate Easter bunny, with an enormous smile across his face.

The former England football captain also shared similar photos of his other children Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

And the Beckhams‘ youngest child was pictured with a cute Lego duck that had her beaming.

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz‘s absences from recent family events, including Paris Fashion Week and both of his parents’ birthdays, have caused some people to believe that there may be a rift forming in the family.

Earlier this month, fans swamped Brooklyn with messages as he failed to publicly acknowledge mum Victoria’s birthday amid the growing rumours.

While siblings Romeo, 22, and Harper, 13, were at a family bash, Brooklyn only shared snaps with Nicola at Coachella.

One asked him: “No birthday message for your mum?”

Another told Brooklyn, who also seemed to forget Mother’s Day: “You only get one mum in this life.”

Fans first complained about the apparent snub on Brooklyn’s last Instagram post, which marked his third wedding anniversary with wife Nicola on April 9.

Instead of recognising Victoria’s 51st birthday, Nicola then shared a publicity shot of Brooklyn having cupping treatment.

Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, were also also absent from the first of his dad David’s birthday bashes — held in Miami on March 30.

Brooklyn cited work commitments.

Fans also pointed out that he and Nicola were also absent from designer Victoria’s most recent Paris Fashion Week Show.

Earlier this month, US news website TMZ claimed there were tensions between Brooklyn and Romeo.

A source said Brooklyn and Nicola were choosing not to attend family gatherings if Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull was present.

Brooklyn and Kim were pals when she dated his friend Rocco Ritchie, but grew apart when they split.

Kim got together with Romeo last October, and an insider added: “Brooklyn just doesn’t approve of Kim dating him.”

LIVERPOOL are edging closer to winning the Premier League title – but when is the earliest they win it?

Since taking over for Jurgen Klopp, Arne Slot has only lost two league games, and it appears that he will follow in the club legend’s footsteps in his debut season.

Following their defeat in the Carabao Cup final and subsequent elimination from the Champions League, the significance of preserving their advantage at the top has increased in recent weeks.

Arsenal’s run in Europe’s elite club competition has aided Liverpool’s tilt at the title, with back-to-back draws to Everton and Brentford all but ruling them out of a domestic comeback.

Additionally, the Anfield club have been handed an early summer boost as they secure the futures of key duo, Mohamed Salah and now Virgil van Dijk.

When can Liverpool lift the Premier League title?

Liverpool can win the Premier League as soon as Wednesday night, April 23.

Should Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, the Reds will be crowned champions.

But should the Gunners defeat or draw with Palace, the earliest Liverpool can then win the league is next Sunday.

A win over Tottenham at Anfield will see the Reds confirmed as Premier League champions for the first time since 2020.

LOCALS have shared their devastation as an iconic pub is to close its doors for the last time today.

Cornish country pub Carpenters Arms, in Metherell, is having its final hurrah on Easter Sunday.

A statement posted on Facebook by owners of the pub on April 11 read: “It’s with a heavy heart that I have decided that Easter Sunday 20th The Carpenter’s will be closing its doors at 9pm.

“It will remain closed until sold. Auction on May 8th.

“I would like to thank everyone for the support for my family and myself while we have ran the pub.

“We will be going out with a big party on Easter Saturday starting at 6pm.”

Locals were quick to chime in and share their heartbreak over the news.

One upset punter wrote: “So sorry to hear this sweetheart. You have put so much blood, sweat and tears into the Carps. Wishing you all the best for the auction.”

While a second loyal customer said: “Thanks for all the lovely pints and food you have kept us singing with.”

Another added: “Thanks for your kind, warm hosting service with a smile.”

A fourth said: “Sorry to read this. I’ve only been a few times and each time had a blast! Lovely venue, special, fun and filled with lovely people.”

This follows research which revealed more than 400 pubs across the UK closed in the last year.

One of those included the a branch of the iconic Hard Rock Cafe in Newcastle, which opened in May 2021.

Pubs also faced changes in their licensing laws from April 1, where takeaway pints introduced during the pandemic would no longer be able to be sold.

Trouble for UK pubs

It comes as a number of popular pubs have closed because customers have less money to spend.

Stonegate recently closed one of its branches in Ormesby St Margaret.

The Farmers Arms ceased trading on New Year’s Eve.

Stonegate has confirmed that they are recruiting for a new publican to run the business.

It came just one month after the pub giant said it would close The Bedford in Southampton.

The pub was a popular location for local students in the area and showed sport matches such as football and rugby.

The Grade II-listed building has been operating as a pub since the 1800s.

The Sun also reported that Boyzone‘s Shane Lynch and his Real Housewives of Cheshire star wife Sheena have closed their pub for good.

The D13 Irish bar in Knutsford, Cheshire closed after it was repossessed by the landlord.

No explanation has been given as to why the pub has closed.

LEICESTER CITY have been relegated from the Premier League.

Following this afternoon’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool, the Foxes become the second side to confirm their drop back into the Championship – joining Southampton in England’s second tier next season.

Leicester’s fate was sealed with a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool[/caption]

Ruud van Nistelrooy‘s side have had a torrid campaign that has seen them struggle massively to compete with the teams around them.

Leicester went over 12 HOURS without scoring a home goal and won just ONE of their last 19 Premier League matches as they cemented their drop.

It marks the Foxes’ second relegation in three years, becoming yo-yo strugglers less than 10 years after winning the Premier League title and the FA Cup.

Leicester started the season with Steve Cooper in charge, but axed the Welshman after just 12 Premier League matches.

That decision made headlines after video emerged in the following days of Leicester’s players partying in a nightclub next to signs that read “Enzo, I miss you” – seemingly hinting at former manager Enzo Maresca.

Cooper would soon be replaced by Manchester United legend Van Nistelrooy – a decision that would prove costly.

Under Cooper Leicester had only fallen below 16th place in the league once, never dropping into the relegation zone as they won two, drew four and lost six of his 12 league games.

While the arrival of Van Nistelrooy saw the 2016 Champions plummet into the relegation zone, where they have remained for all-but-one matchweek since December.

And the United legend has also had his fair share of controversy to deal with, including his axing of Harry Winks and Jannik Vestergaard shocking staff by bringing his DOG to training.

The Dutchman has only managed two league wins over Tottenham and West Ham, losing nearly 80 PER CENT of his Prem games in charge of the club.

By comparison, Cooper was sacked after extending his streak without a win to just five matches.

The King Power outfit have come in for some heavy defeats throughout the campaign too.

Hefty 4-0 defeats to Brentford, Everton and Newcastle were low points for the Foxes fanbase who haven’t seen their team win – or score – at home in the league in 2025.

In fact, they even became the first team in the history of English professional football to lose eight home games on the bounce without scoring a single goal.

However, Leicester will be buoyed by their success in the Championship last season, where they put up 97 points to be crowned champions in a dominant campaign.
