Mill flew to Italy last month to take part in a documentary about the World Cup victory.

But German media revealed he suffered a cardiac arrest shortly after getting into a cab at Milan’s Malpensa airport.

A helicopter was scrambled to take him to the hospital for emergency surgery.

The 66-year-old was reportedly dead for a few minutes before doctors managed to restart his heart.

Mill was placed in an artificial coma for several days to allow his condition to stabilise.

Medics finally allowed him to be flown back to his German home city Essen to continue his recovery.

Mill’s family refused to respond to media enquiries about the former footballer’s current state of health.

Mill was capped 17 times by Germany and also made 20 appearances for his country’s Olympic team.

Mill won the German FA Cup with Dortmund and helped them reach the 1993 UEFA Cup final.

He had been playing for Dortmund’s veterans side as recently as last year.

West Germany boss Franz Beckenbauer named the 5ft 9ins frontman in his Italia 90 squad.

Mill, however, never got a game as he was faced with competition from Jurgen Klinsmann, Rudi Voller and future Liverpool flop Karlheinz Riedle.

He also played for Rot-Weiss Essen and Borussia Mönchengladbach and ended his career with Fortuna Dusseldorf.

FREEVIEW viewers in more than 160 areas across the UK are being warned that “pixelation or flickering” could affect TV sets this week.

The digital television platform will be carrying out planned engineering works over the next few days, to ensure the service continues to run smoothly for its millions of UK customers.

Freeview is carrying out planned engineering works this week[/caption]

“Sometimes engineering work is required on transmitters so that they can keep reliably broadcasting your favourite free-to-air programmes”, Freeview bosses said.

Customers affected by the engineering works have been urged not to try and retune their televisions.

“Reception will be restored as soon as the engineering work is completed”, Freeview said.

160 Areas To Be Affected

A total of 160 areas will be affected by the engineering works, which will be carried out on the areas’ transmitters.

To check what transmitter you are predicted to get your signal from, you can put your postcode into Freeview’s Detailed Transmitter Information tool to check.

Freeview has warned that areas affected by the engineering works may possible see “pixelation or flickering on some or all channels”.

Earlier this month, over 100 areas were affected by Freeview engineering works, with some viewers left with black screens.

How To Watch Freeview Online

If you don’t want to miss out on your favourite TV shows, whilst the engineering works are taking place, you can also watch Freeview on a connected TV via Freeview Play, on mobile phones and tablets through the mobile app and on the Freeview website.

The easiest way to way to access on-demand players such as BBC iPlayer and ITVX on your Freeview Play TV is simply to push Channel 100.

You can download the Freeview app on the App Store or Google Play Store.

This will give you access on your phone or tablet to an abundance of channels, such as BBC One and Channel 4.

To watch TV via the website, simply head to the TV Guide and click on a channel.

Recent Freeview Updates

This comes after Freeview viewers were urged to re-scan their TV boxes, following a huge channel change.

Channel 4 has boosted Freeview coverage for one of its channels in June, meaning if you haven’t already, you’ll need to retune to continue watching.

As part of Freeview’s monthly channel update, 4seven transitioned to a new frequency as of Wednesday 18 June, 2025.

This is because of an important technical change to the way the Channel 4 offshoot channel is broadcast on Freeview.

It will give more Freeview users access to the channel at a time when 4seven is increasingly used as an overspill for live events.

A popular Freeview box also received a key upgrade last month which fixed a bug affecting a slew of features.

Manhattan released the software update for its T4-R and T4 Freeview boxes.

The latest version – 2.06 – will finally fix a long-standing standby mode issue that has affected a number of users.

HYDRANGEAS are the perfect garden flower thanks to their versatility and popularity.

The gorgeous flower has trended this year and can now be snapped up for a bargain price at B&Q.

It is going for just £15[/caption]

The home and hardware chain has the Hydrangea Paniculata for just £15 for a 5 litre plant, whereas they can retail at other stores for anywhere between £20 and £30.

In the past month alone, there’s been 9.7 million Google searches for Hydrangeas, because people are catching on that they’re a great flower to have in any garden.

These 5-litre plants come in a mix of four colors and are available in-store now.

Why We Love Hydrangeas

The Hydrangea Paniculata is best known for its large, colourful blooms that flower in late summer and early autumn.

The range of colours include white, pink, green, and yellow, whose colour will not change depending on soil pH, unlike other varieties of hydrangeas.

Unlike the more common hydrangea varieties – Mophead, Lacecap, and Hortensia – “the Hydrangea paniculata is a striking panicle hydrangea known for its striking conical blooms and strong, upright habit”.

“These long-lasting flowerheads provide months of intense colour and structure, making them a great addition for borders or large containers,” said B&Q’s Outdoor Expert, Mark Sage.

Top Tips

Mark also shared his best tips to ensure that your hydrangeas will thrive for many years to come.

He recommended making sure they are placed in full sun for a minimum of four hours a day and water them regularly, because hydrangeas don’t like dry soil.

When spring comes around, be sure to feed them with a general purpose fertiliser and avoid excessive feeding during the growing season, otherwise you’ll end up with more leaves and fewer flowers.

Hydrangeas typically bloom from late spring to early autumn, depending on the climate and conditions.

Typically any colour changes occur because of aluminum availability in the soil, with pink or red flowers thriving in neutral to alkaline soil with a pH of over 7.0, while blue ones prefer an acidic soil of under six pH.

Hydrangeas are perennials, which means they come back year after year with the right care.

But over the winter, gardeners are told not to cut off the dead blooms, instead, they should be left on – even though they look brown and crispy – because they protect new shoots.

Then when spring rolls around, and after new shoots appear, give the plant a hard cut back – the more you cut back, the bigger the plant will then grow.

Hydrangeas can live for decades, in the right conditions, meaning they could be a good long-term investment for your garden. And they are easy to propagate – so you can have multiple plants from one, or swap and share with fellow gardeners.

How to prune a Hydrangea

The easiest way is to cut the dead bloom off the plant.

Snip as far down as the next new buds on the stem, if these are visible or to wherever looks appropriate.

For a more established plants you can cut old stems back to the base to encourage new growth.

Use clean, sharp garden shears or scissors to ensure a clean cut and no damage to your plant.

AN Ed Sheeran lookalike feared he was going to die when he was brutally beaten up at a festival.

Ty Jones was attending Parklife festival in Manchester a couple of weekends ago when he was targeted by a mob of six men – leaving him with a broken nose and two black eyes.

The star has is now unsure how he feels about working again[/caption]

The 30-year-old, who is the UK’s best Ed lookalike – believes he was targeted because he looks so much like the singer and he heard chants of Ed Sheeran before blacking out, telling us: “It was horrible, I thought I was going to die.”

The incident, which his step daughter witnessed, has left him terrified to leave his house and scared to work again.

Explaining what happened Ty, who was attending the event for fun and not work, told us: “As soon as I got there everyone was just mithering me for pictures the whole entire day. 

“My step daughter Kelly was going towards the main stage. and I was following, and then when they stopped, I was pushed like mad from the side very aggressively. 

“I was like, ‘what’s going on here?’  I thought someone had just pushed someone into me. I didn’t think I’ve done anything wrong.

“And then they pushed me again in my chest, and these girls were asking for pictures. 

“I was saying ‘there’s some trouble with these lads, I need to try and get away. I can’t have a picture, basically. 

“So I tried to push past him, and as I’ve done that he’s dragged me to the floor. 

“And there was another 4 of them basically behind him, and he just kicked and punched me. And they were like savages. They were just like coyotes.”

“it was terrifying. About 6 people kicking my head in on the floor, booting it like a football. Punching me all in the back of my head.”

Fortunately a man in the crowd stepped in and pulled them off him and helped get Ty to safety.

Ty believes he was picked on out of jealousy, telling us: “As I was going through the crowd, people were stopping me and taking videos and photos.

“And then these guys have probably noticed it from the side which I’ve not even noticed, and then shoved me out, probably jealousy, because they’re trying to show off in front of the girls.”

The attack, which Ty says was “very traumatic”, left him with a broken nose, black eyes and concussion.

But the psychological damage cuts much deeper, with Ty telling us it brought back terrible memories of being bullied at school for his red hair.  

“ I broke down because it felt like I was a kid again, being bullied like I used to get it back in high school and stuff. So it really touched the nerve, and brought back a lot of trauma,” he says.

One of Ty’s biggest concerns was if he would be able to work again – he has been a full time Ed impersonator since the musician burst on the scene. 

He’s now not sure what the future holds as he struggles to come to terms with what happened.

“It was a terrifying, horrible experience,  it really was, ” he tells us. “It scared me quite a lot to the point where it’s still terrifying, going out and, doing a gig?  I don’t think I could do it the same again, because of the anxiety that I feel like what’s around the next corner.”

Greater Manchester police are appealing for witnesses, they said: “Officers are investigating reports of an assault at Parklife Festival on Sunday 15 June.

“No arrests have been made and enquires are ongoing.

“Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any mobile phone footage is urged to contact police on 101, quoting the log number 2255 of 15/06/2025.”

Now, she’s brushed off the mud and hay to reveal her fashion credentials.

In the new edition of Country Life, beaming Harriet poses in a summer dress and knee-high cowgirl boots as she perches on a tractor tyre.

She’s joined by beautiful pooch Tyke, who obediently stands on its hind legs beside her.

The magazine delves into Harriet’s life at her family farm in Belper, Derbyshire.

Jeremy Clarkson recently clarified why Harriet was brought onto the farm as speculation mounted over Kaleb’s future.

He said: “What happened is this, he went away on his speaking tour, for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years, I’d be able to manage on my own.

” I didn’t – I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet.

“Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back.

“That is it – that’s the story!”

Fans are desperate to know if Harriet will remain on the farm when Kaleb returns and, so far, she’s keeping coy, telling them: “Hmm we will have to see.”

Located on the River Thames, near Vauxhall, Tamesis Dock is a converted 1930’s Dutch barge.

Whilst permanently moored, the venue hosts live music and events, with both indoor space and an outdoor deck with views of the Thames and city skyline.

The Boatman, Windsor

Dubbed as Windsor’s “only proper pub on The Thames”, according to Tripadvisor, The Boatman has views across the river and Eton Bridge.
