‘TV director is a sicko’ – Fans can’t believe Jude Bellingham’s reaction to both Declan Rice’s free-kick worldies

JUDE BELLINGHAM could only watch open-mouthed as England teammate Declan Rice turned on the style at the Emirates.

The Arsenal midfielder netted TWO stunning free kicks with 12 minutes to put the Gunners in charge of the Champions League quarter-final.

Rice twice beat Thibaut Courtois with thunderous set-pieces from outside the box.

The goals put Arsenal firmly on top in the tie, with Mikel Merino adding a late third.

Bellingham was a passenger for much of the night in a white-hot atmosphere at the Emirates.

And TV cameras caught his immediate reaction to Rice’s heroics in the second half.

Moments after the £100million-man hit the top corner with his first freekick, Bellingham was spotted looking helplessly towards a stern-faced Carlo Ancelotti on the sideline.

Cameras immediately panned to the England man again after Rice repeated the trick just over 10 minutes later.

Bellingham was seen shaking his head in disbelief, with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta also clearly in shock on the touchline.

Fans were quick to notice Amazon Prime‘s director panned straight to Bellingham to catch his reaction.

One fan roared on X: “THE TV DIRECTOR IS A SICKO. THAT PAN TO BELLINGHAM WAS PEAK CINEMA.”

While a second said: “Bellingham’s reaction says it all! You can’t help but respect a beauty like that from Rice.”

And a third laughed: “The double pan to Bellingham after the goals. Absolute cinema.”

Arsenal fans could barely believe it as the Champions League holders wilted in North London.

And they even serenaded Madrid with chants of “Are you Tottenham in disguise?”.

Rice was subbed off with ten minutes to go and replaced by Kieran Tierney.

He becomes the FIRST player ever to score 2 goals from direct free kicks in a Champions League knockout stage match.

Rice also bagged his first-ever brace for Arsenal since joining from West Ham in 2023.

‘Is he ok?’ ask worried Celebrity Big Brother fans as Mickey Rourke’s ‘confusing’ behaviour sparks concern

CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have voiced concern over Mickey Rourke’s behaviour in the house, asking ‘Is he ok?’

Viewers of the ITV1 reality show took to social media to discuss the Hollywood legend, who they claimed appeared confused and ‘lost’ in the nation’s most famous house.

Mickey struggled to remember his housemates names

It came as Mickey was the first celebrity invited into Big Brother’s Prize Room, where he seemed to struggle to understand the instructions.

As Big Brother chatted to him, he fiddled with the prizes in the room and looked unsure of what was happening.

When Big Brother asked Mickey how he was feeling, he said: “50/50, you?”

He later confessed to being “only a little confused” over the choices Big Brother offered him in the game, and struggled to remember his housemates’ names.

At one point he referred to Brit Chris Hughes as being from Australia, and struggled to grasp that the prize he was awarding Chris was a takeaway food delivery, rather than the scooter the prize card was resting on.

The star was then tasked with choosing between three power prizes: Immunity, which would grant himself immunity in the next eviction, The Guardian Angel power, which allowed him to select a housemate to receive immunity, or The Killer Nomination, which would give him the chance to put one housemate up for the vote.

Mickey chose the Guardian Angel power, but many watching at home expressed fears that he was struggling.

“It’s so uncomfortable to watch mickey because he genuinely doesn’t have a clue what’s going on and not even in a funny way,” one viewer wrote on X.

“Mickey is so confused constantly is he ok to be left alone?” added another.

“Poor Mikey he seems so lost.” weighed in a third.

“He has no idea what he’s doing does he,” agreed a fourth.

“Is Mickey even aware of where he is and what he’s doing?” chipped in a fifth.

Later in the episode, a chat between Mickey and Trisha saw him admit being in the house was hard for him.

He said: This is not easy here for me. I decided to isolate and live alone and not have any relationships about six years ago. So, a lot of good stuff is coming to me from just being alone.”

At another point, Mickey sat alone on the sofa before passing out asleep.

It comes as Mickey sparked a backlash last night during the launch show for ‘grabbing’ host AJ Odudu as he walked into the house.

He told her she was wearing a “nice outfit” and looked her up and down.

He then grabbed her for a twirl, causing her to bump into him.

Many viewers were not impressed.

Writing on social media, one said: “Can we all agree we’re voting Mickey out this week.”

Another viewer also predicted the American’s early exit, writing: “Mickey Rourke will be out of the house first, mark my words.”

Donald Trump to spark all-out trade war by pummelling rival China with 104 per cent tariff

PRESIDENT Trump will today pummel China with a 104 per cent tariff — sparking an all-out trade war with the US’s rival economic superpower.

The confirmation of the extra levy led to Wall Street giving up the gains it had made on another tumultuous day for shellshocked traders.

Stock markets, including London’s FTSE 100, had started to recover in the hope a deal could be reached to ease some of Trump’s tariffs.

But in a briefing last night, his press secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted China would be hit by an extra 50 per cent tariff from today, taking the total to 104 per cent.

She said: “Countries like China who have chosen to retaliate and try to double down on their mistreatment of American workers are making a mistake.

“President Trump has a spine of steel that he will not break and America will not break under his leadership.”

China, under leader Xi Jinping, is now expected to retaliate — with its rulers vowing to “fight to the end”.

Beijing branded the White House’s midnight ultimatum “a mistake on top of a mistake, once again exposing the American side’s blackmailing nature.”

Retaliatory measures reportedly being drawn up include a ban on US films being shown in China, a market worth £438million last year.

It could see upcoming movies such as Jurassic World: Rebirth and Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning miss out on the Beijing box office.

The economic row between the two countries escalated into a diplomatic spat after China hit back at Vice President JD Vance for referring to “Chinese peasants”.

Beijing’s foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian branded Mr Vance “ignorant and impolite” for saying: “We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.”

The US President insisted China “wants to make a deal, badly but they don’t know how to get it started. We are waiting for their call. It will happen!”

Global markets had started the day mounting an astonishing early comeback after £8.6trillion had been wiped off the world’s biggest companies.

However, by the afternoon the biggest rally in three years had fizzled out as traders reacted to US companies’ cost of doing business with Asia doubling overnight.

Ex-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers warned the trade war with China meant the US was now “more likely than not” headed towards a recession which could put two million Americans out of work.

The Nasdaq had bounced by as much as four per cent, adding $2trillion back in value to the US stock market.

However, at the end of trading the S&P Index, Nasdaq and Dow had slumped again, wiping all the $2trillion gains back off US markets in a matter of hours.

One Wall Street trader had likened the early bounce to “a good day in a hospice”.

Traders said the wild swings in markets highlighted how volatile and chaotic the situation is and signalled that a confident recovery was still someway off.

PM 'won't knee-jerk'

By Jack Elsom

THE UK should not “jump in with both feet” to retaliate against Donald Trump’s trade tariffs, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

And the PM told a group of senior MPs that he was not open to “trading away” the NHS as part of an economic agreement with the US.

Sir Keir was also “very clear” that a digital tax on big tech firms should stay in place, despite pressure from America to bin it.

The PM told the MPs: “Obviously we have to keep our options on the table and do the preparatory work for retaliation if necessary.

“But I think that trying to negotiate an arrangement which mitigates the tariffs is better.”

There are now fears that the London stock market will face more turbulence today.

Asian markets had turned green yesterday morning. Traders felt encouraged by hopes that Japan, South Korea and Taiwan were negotiating with Trump, and the optimism spilled into Europe.

The FTSE 100 closed yesterday up by 2.71 per cent, or 208.45 to 7,910.53, as big banks such as Barclays bounced back.

Traders noted that the rebound was not enough to make up the 11 per cent plunge since Liberation Day which had wiped off £250billion from London listed companies.

Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at AJ Bell, called it a “magic bounce-back day” that marked the end of a market bloodbath but there was already caution about how long it would last.

Trump has refused to water down his worldwide tariff blizzard despite warnings from top business execs.

Most nations will today be slapped with higher levies. The UK, already hit with a ten per cent tariff, has been spared additional charges.

Musk's 'moron' blast at adviser

By Noa Hoffman

ELON Musk launched a blistering attack on White House trade adviser Peter Navarro yesterday, branding him a “moron” and “Peter Retardo”.

The billionaire Tesla boss also accused his fellow Donald Trump ally of spreading “demonstrably false” claims about his electric car empire.

It came after Mr Navarro, on Monday, told US network CNBC that Mr Musk “isn’t a car manufacturer — he’s a car assembler”.

He argued the tech mogul’s criticism of US tariffs stemmed from his reliance on supply chains in China and Japan.

But the Department of Government Efficiency chief hit back, saying: “Navarro is truly a moron. What he says here is demonstrably false.

“Tesla builds the most American-made cars. Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks.”

The spat has exposed simmering tensions among the US President’s inner circle, as divisions grow over his hardline tariff policies.

But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shrugged off the name-calling last night, saying: “Boys will be boys.”

Prince Harry didn’t visit King Charles despite pair being miles apart as he travels to UK for court whinge over security

MOANING Prince Harry did not meet his dad after jetting in to complain about his UK security — even though the King was just miles away. 

Harry arrived at Heathrow on Sunday while Charles was in London for rescheduled cancer treatment ahead of an official trip to Italy.

It is not known if the Prince requested a ­meeting, but it is believed the pair have now not seen each other in person for 14 months. 

As Charles, 76, took on four long engagements in Rome in eight hours — Harry was in the High Court to whinge about his 24-hour armed guards being removed since he is no longer a working royal. 

It has previously been reported that Charles is “frustrated” at Harry’s long-running legal fight and worries his son wants to lobby him in the “mistaken belief that the King has control over his security”. 

Meanwhile the King and Queen Camilla enjoyed a ceremonial welcome in Rome, including a joint display by the Red Arrows and Italian counterparts Frecce Tricolori. 

They also walked up 44 steps to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The couple were greeted with rousing cheers at the Colosseum and hosted a reception. 

Today they celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in the city with a string of further engagements. 

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

Harry, if you read this, please get on the phone, arrange to go and see your dad and give him a hug – he needs it

I WAS sad to learn that Prince Harry had flown into London on Sunday and not gone to see his father, the King. 

Even though Harry was preparing for his case at the Court of Appeal, I am sure he could have reached out to his father.

Here in Rome on his wedding anniversary with his wife at his side, this amazing man is doing his very best to be a great monarch, despite his illness. 

But there is no escaping the fact that Charles is seriously not well. 

The King being admitted to hospital 10 days ago must have alarmed Harry. 

And it is sad that the Duke of Sussex no longer feels able to go and see his father. 

And it must be even sadder for the King that he cannot see his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet

I know there is really bad blood between William and Harry which it seems is never going to be put to bed. 

But I sincerely hope Harry can hang on a few more days after this court case has ended and make the first steps towards a reconciliation by going to see his father at the weekend. 

All the queries by phone don’t make up for a cosy chat that can make both people feel better. 

Harry, if you read this, I hope you will get on the phone, make an appointment to go and see your dad and give him a hug.

My life’s in the toilet, says Mickey Rourke in ONLY interview as it’s revealed why ‘pervy’ CBB entrance was inevitable

[/boxout]

Fitness is really important to me as it helps my anxiety. I have panic attacks too but training really helps settle my mind.”

A day in the life of Mickey now means twice-daily exercise sessions and a diet of fish and vegetables — plus 11-day fasts where he only drinks water.

He said: “I feel amazing afterwards — re-energised. I don’t get angry. It focuses me.”

But how has the healthy new regime affected his success as a legendary lothario?

And will any woman ever compare to rumoured squeeze Kim Basinger, who he starred alongside in raunchy flick 9½ Weeks, which charted their characters’ sexually charged relationship?

Fitness is really important to me as it helps my anxiety. I have panic attacks too but training really helps settle my mind

Mickey

Mickey said with a laugh: “The question I get all the time — did you f* her? “Every place I go into, somebody will come over with a drink going, ‘Did you f*** her?’ Or ‘I got laid because of you and watching that movie.’

“It’s just nobody’s f*ing business — but I would have liked to.”

He added: “I had two dates with one girl in the last seven months and I was supposed to have a third date with her, but I realised that it wouldn’t be fair to go out to dinner with her just because I wanted to get laid.

“I really didn’t want to because she just wasn’t my type. She was OK — she was about, I don’t know, a seven and a half.”

‘Fire inside me’

Mickey has been married twice — to actresses Carre Otis and Debra Feuer — but has no children.

He added: “I chose poorly each time because I chose beauty over substance.

“Beauty can camouflage evil, trust, honourable intentions. “I’m super particular, so I’ll go out to a bar and put my good s**t on and wait for Mrs World to come in. She never comes in, so f it.”

Mickey probably thought he’d found his Mrs World here in Blighty when he clocked AJ in her sparkled, feathered catsuit.

But should his bad behaviour steer viewer votes come Friday’s eviction, he might be seeing her again sooner rather than later.

It won’t matter to Mickey, who insists he’s not in it to win it. He said: “I’ve been given a lot and I’m grateful that I’ve been given what I have. I try to say this when I worry about my career being in the toilet.

“I’ve got it a lot better than a lot of other people have.

“I’ve got a lot to be thankful for, so I would be fine if somebody wins it who really wants to win it.”

But Mickey has a final word for those housemates who might cross him this month.

He warned: “Somebody may push the envelope f*ing hard and I may take a verbal hammer and hit them over the f*ing head.

“If somebody is that disrespectful, I’m not going to just take it. I still have that fire inside me.”

Danny’s mate is fab

DRAG queen Danny Beard has found an unlikely friend in Tory Michael Fabricant.

The bisexual ex-politician – who was booed by the audience – told Danny he finally felt “free”.

Michael said: “Not being an MP, I can be myself.”

Danny remarked: “I won’t lie, I didn’t think I was going to get on with you because of the Tory thing. But actually, I’ve really connected with you tonight.

“Maybe I came in here with prejudice.”

Meanwhile, chat show queen Trisha Goddard opened up to Mickey about her cancer, which is not curable.

He said: “I’ve got your name and I’ll keep you in my prayers.”

The housemates completed the Power Prize task, giving Mickey the opportunity to save one pal from eviction. Jojo Siwa won a killer nomination and Chris Hughes received immunity from being nominated.

Arsenal 3 Real Madrid 0: Sensational Rice scores first TWO free-kicks of his career as Gunners have one foot in semis

DECLAN RICE had played in more than 400 matches as a professional footballer and never scored a direct free-kick. 

In fact, Arsenal’s £105million man has barely ever taken aim at goal with a dead ball in almost two seasons at the Emirates.

So how about this then? In a Champions League quarter-final against the reigning, and 15-time kings of Europe, Rice decided to score two of them inside a dozen minutes. 

And both from 25 yards. Both mugging off Thibaut Courtois, one of the finest keepers in the world.

As the Emirates erupted in an ecstatic bedlam – bodies everywhere like some kind of an orgy – Arsenal’s non centre-forward Mikel Merino lashed home a third and Mikel Arteta’s men had secured a commanding lead to take into the Bernabeu next Wednesday night. 

Real Madrid are never knowingly beaten before a tie is over but the Gunners are in touching distance of a first Champions League semi-final in 16 years. 

And they have already beaten both of their potential last-four opponents, Paris St Germain or Aston Villa, this season. 

What a night this was. The best the Emirates has ever known in its 19-year history – better even than the night when Jack Wilshere once skewered Lionel Messi’s Barcelona. 

Real, with the starriest cast list on planet football, were utterly shell-shocked – blown away by three goals in 17 second-half minutes.  

And Rice was simply magnificent. He ought never be employed as a passive holding midfielder again, as he has often done for England. 

BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK

He very nearly had four goals in this match – a header thwarted by a brilliant Courtois save and a fierce shot cleared off the line by his England midfield partner Jude Bellingham, who was a spectator for large parts of this feverish evening. 

Arteta’s mission was simple – to defeat the most famous club on the planet without a recognised striker and without a first-choice centre-half. 

Real had no such issues. Four players, including Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, who had been threatened with a ban for shaking their wotsits at Atletico Madrid fans after the last round all avoided serious punishment to the surprise of precisely no one. 

Luka Modric at 39, old enough to have played in the classic 4-4 North London Derby here 17 years ago – was fossilising, looking a weak link for the visitors. 

The former Ballon d’Or winner tripped Bukayo Saka on the edge of the box early on, then was the beneficiary of some generous refereeing from the Bosnian Irfan Peljto, who looked in awe of Arsenal’s visitors and gave them plenty. 

Real, shoddy on the domestic front of late, were not looking themselves at all – Antonio Rudiger’s attempted clearance cannoning off Eduardo Camavinga and almost costing an own goal. 

After Myles Lewis-Skelly drifted into central midfield and kippered Modric, Thomas Partey had a shot pushed out by Thibaut Courtois.  

Vinicius pinged one wide after the referee failed to give Arsenal an obvious free-kick, the Emirates howling with rage. 

It took half an hour before Real decided to join in. Bellingham moonwalked around Jurrien Timber and slipped a pass to Mbappe whose shot was smothered by David Raya. 

Mbappe was beginning to get footloose but it was more meme content than genuine goal threat.  

Saka fired a couple of low centres across the face of goal but, as we thought we knew, there was no centre-forward. 

Shortly before the break, Courtois had to earn his corn. Rice’s downward header was pushed out instinctively before Gabriel Martinelli’s follow-up shot was blocked by the towering Belgian keeper.

Arsenal went into the interval heartened yet there was still anxiety around the place. With Real, you never know when the ignition switch will flick. 

Early in the second half, Ancelotti started performing keepy-uppies in his technical area. The old dude won this thing twice as a player, not just five times as a manager, in case anyone had forgotten.

But then the party started. Saka dribbled infield and was upended by David Alaba and for once Peljto gave Arsenal a free-kick to the ironic cheers of the home crowd. 

There was a lengthy confab between four Arsenal players before Rice was given the honours, ahead of Saka or Martin Odegaard.

Rice sized it up, wrapped a foot around the ball and curled it with power around the wall and past a flailing Courtois. Wallop. 

There was a minor earthquake in the stands and Arteta’s men scented blood. 

Now every Arsenal challenge, every pass, was cheered. 

Soon, Lewis-Skelly released Martinelli, whose shot was pushed out brilliantly by Courtois, who then defied the false nine Merino. 

From the following corner, Bellingham cleared off the line from a fierce Rice drive. 

The £105million man had the devil in him. And then Saka was fouled again, 25 yards out, as if Real hadn’t learned their lesson. 

This time Rice went for height and dip, with the same result – Courtois is 6ft 7in, he dived full stretch and didn’t get remotely near it. 

Soon, it became ridiculous. Lewis-Skelly, full of it, cut inside from the left and fed Merino who whipped a first-time effort past Courtois.  

It was the Spaniard’s sixth goal since taking over his makeshift striker duties. 

Arteta’s men were pedal-to-the-metal. Real Madrid – the actual Real Madrid – were roadkill.

Arsenal vs Real Madrid LIVE RESULT: Declan Rice scores TWO stunning free-kicks as Gunners take control of quarter-final

ARSENAL have stunned Real Madrid with a 3-0 win in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Declan Rice broke the deadlock just before the hour mark with a thunderous free-kick.

The England midfield scored ANOTHER stunning free-kick in the 70th minute to send the Emirates into delirium.

Minutes later, makeshift striker Mikel Merino made it 3-0 with a superb finish past Thibaut Courtois.

The night went from bad to worse for Real after Eduardo Camavinga was shown a second yellow card and his marching orders in injury time.

A fantastic night at the Emirates for Mikel Arteta‘s men as they go to the Santiago Bernabeu next week with a very healthy lead.
