It’s claimed organisers were told he wouldn’t be performing just an hour before he was due on stage.

In a statement posted on social media, Chester 7s wrote: “Due to unforeseen circumstances Professor Green is unable to perform at Chester 7s tonight.

“Whilst circumstances such as these are outside of our control, we apologise to all our amazing players, officials and guests and thank you for making Chester 7s 2025 an amazing experience for everyone.”

It’s believed organisers were told the singer was sick while waiting for him to arrive at the venue.

The Sun has reached out to the rapper for comment.

Professor Green – whose real name is Stephen Paul Manderson – has not posted on his socials about the no-show.

One fan commented: “What happened last night?!? You were booked to headline a festival and then just didn’t show up?

“Organisers said at the end of the night you hadn’t communicated this to them and just did a no show?”

Another asked: “Why did you not come to Chester7s?”

Someone else said: “He just didn’t show up.”

Another attendee added: “The youngsters were so disappointed.”

Support act James Haskell performed a two-hour DJ set to keep let down fans entertained.

JAKE PAUL’s domination of Julio Cesar Chavez was clear to see in the damning punch stats.

Jake Paul doubled the number of punches Julio Cesar Chavez Jr landed in their fight[/caption]

Paul, 28, won nine out of ten rounds in the bout at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer was only bettered in the ninth round as Chavez Jr staged a late resurgence.

However, the Mexican left himself with far too much to do, having been on the back foot for much of the fight.

Paul landed more than double the number of punches that Chavez Jr managed.

He landed 140 of his 482 thrown throughout the ten rounds, while his rival only connected with 61.

Chavez Jr only threw 154 punches throughout the entire fight and bizarrely only attempted four in the first round.

He did not land a single one of these as he finished the third round with only 14 punches thrown and three landing.

The one positive for Chavez Jr was that his accuracy was far superior to that of Paul.

He landed an impressive 39.4 per cent of his punches while Paul only connected with 29 per cent.

His best moment came in the ninth round as he hit Paul with a solid uppercut and right hook.

Meanwhile, Paul called out FIVE rivals in the ring after beating Chavez Jr.

He is targeting fights against the likes of boxing icon Anthony Joshua and old foe Tommy Fury.

He said: “I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion. Zurdo looked slow as s*** tonight, that’d be easy work too.

“Badou Jack, I want everybody. Anthony Joshua, Gervonta (Davis) and Tommy, stop running.”

He also sent a classy message to former adversary Ben Askrin, who is in hospital waiting for a lung transplant.

In the beautiful coastal paradise of Krabi, where turquoise waters gently kiss sun-drenched shores, an unexpected chapter unfolded that seemed straight out of a suspense thriller. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) officers made quite a startling discovery beneath a solitary tree standing proudly in a pine garden at the Noppharat Thara Beach National Park headquarters. This was not just any finding—it was the sixth of its kind in this idyllic tourist hotspot, sparking intrigue and a fair share of alarm in its wake.

In the serene settings typical of a Phuket morning, tranquility took an unexpected turn into chaos at Khao Rang Temple, a revered place of worship in Mueang district, Phuket province. The clock struck 7:10 am on this fine June 29, 2025, when echoes of something far from divine rippled across the temple’s peaceful atmosphere. Unfathomably, a senior monk became embroiled in an act of violence that would shake the pillars of the temple and the community it served. The morning was abruptly disrupted by a sinister series of events when an altercation between two resident monks escalated tragically. Police Lieutenant Jaruwit Joubkwamsuk and Police Colonel Chatree Chukaew, both of whom were no strangers to the duties that come with the badge at Mueang Phuket Police Station, made their way to the temple, their cars slicing through the early morning traffic with sirens blazing. As they arrived, a grim scene presented…

MARRIED At First Sight UK star Laura Vaughan has been left heartbroken following the sudden death of her stepfather after losing her biological dad to cancer.

In an emotional statement posted to social media, Laura, 35, revealed her stepdad Rich also died of cancer and said that the loss had left her family “devastated.”

“I’ve sat with this for weeks, not knowing how to find the words,” she wrote on Instagram. 

“A few weeks ago, my family lost my stepdad, Rich – very suddenly to cancer. It has left my family devastated.”

Laura, who rose to fame on the reality show in 2023, also opened up about feelings of guilt over not being as close to Rich in recent years. 

She said: “That’s a guilt I will carry with me for the rest of my life and right now, it feels very heavy.”

The reality star also reflected on the loss of her father to cancer years earlier, adding: “Lots of you know that I lost my dad to cancer, the same age as my half-sister is now. 

“It feels as though sometimes, life plays out the most painful patterns.”

Paying tribute to Rich, she added: “He came into my life over 20 years ago and brought light and laughter into our family when we really needed it. 

“I hope that where you are now, you are at peace and out of pain, and that West Ham are winning every match they play!”

Laura ended the post by announcing a temporary break from social media.

She said: “I don’t know how to show up online for you guys at the minute and therefore I am going to take a break. 

“Sometimes this world feels so painful, so I’m sending an enormous amount of love to anyone struggling.”

Laura had a failed love match with tennis coach Arthur Poremba, 38, on MAFS.

She recently opened up to The Sun about her own private battle in a heartbreaking interview – after she was forced to make a terrible decision.

The TV star underwent a heartbreaking medical abortion after unexpectedly finding out she was almost eight months pregnant.

She endured the painful procedure after doctors told her she had been unknowingly putting her unborn foetus at high risk of “extreme” harm and severe birth defects by taking a powerful drug to treat her acne.

The medical abortion in 2016, when she was 26, left Laura struggling to make sense of what had happened. 

“It was very difficult because I went from not thinking I was pregnant to being seven months pregnant to then having a very prolonged abortion and where I was so far gone,” she told The Sun in an exclusive interview.

“Then, when I got home from the procedure, my milk came in, which, as you can imagine, was just really hard to deal with.

“I hunkered down at home for weeks and didn’t talk to anyone.”

Multiple labour attempts

Laura initially thought it was “impossible” when a Clearblue digital pregnancy test revealed she was expecting. 

And she was even more stunned when doctors told her she was in the third trimester.

Although the former finance manager had been suffering from bloating and missed periods, she says she had been told the symptoms were likely caused by a “ruptured cyst”.

She’d gone to see a GP about her symptoms – including bloating and pain in her stomach – but when they looked at her medical records they noticed she’d had a ruptured cyst the year before and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and said that was “likely the cause again”.

They referred Laura for a scan which she kept forgetting to book.

Laura was still able to “squeeze into size 6/8 dresses” while not being aware of her pregnancy, and considered her weight gain to be down to bloating the entire time.

She said: “It was literally the week I decided to test that my stomach popped, and I remember thinking ‘this isn’t right’.”

Recalling the moment the Clearblue test came up with the phrase “2-3 weeks [pregnant]”, Laura, now an influencer, said: “My first thought was ‘that’s impossible’… but then I realised that is how the tests display it, so I could’ve been pregnant for months – and I was.”

Clearblue’s ‘weeks indicator’ test is designed to be reliable in the early stages of pregnancy.

Laura’s shock at her cryptic pregnancy soon turned into an unimaginable ordeal when she learned the strong acne drug she had been taking, isotretinoin, can cause birth defects.

Due to the risk of birth defects to her foetus, Laura was offered a medical abortion – and, with a heavy heart, she accepted it. 

Recalling the hospital procedure itself, she added: “I went for the abortion and I was meant to be in and out within a day and a half but I ended up being in for nearly a week. 

“They could get me to contract but couldn’t get me to full labour, and so I was having contractions and then [they were] stopping.

“It was agony. It was just so awful for my state of mind, too, going into labour multiple times and then nothing.” 

Laura, now in a happy and serious relationship, has been put off having children because she “doesn’t want to be reminded of what happened in 2016”. 

She added: “We spoke about my abortion and he’s the first partner I’ve told about it for a long time.

“He’s been incredibly supportive, and we have discussed having children but neither of us see children in our future.”
