CHELSEA have been asked to explain their relationship with ticket resale site Vivid Seats after fan fury towards Todd Boehly.

Blues co-owner Boehly is a director and investor in the American firm, which listed some individual Premier League tickets for up to £20,000 last season.

The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust (CST) wrote to Premier League chief executive Richard Masters in March saying they were “dismayed” by the connection.

Blues supporters also said Boehly’s position felt like a “breach of trust” and a “clear conflict of interest”.

Vivid Seats, who often sell tickets at inflated rates, is listed on the Premier League website as an unauthorised ticket website.

The league has even told fans to “exercise extreme caution” when purchasing from Vivid Seats.

Masters met with the Football Supporters Association last month and revealed the Premier League have now contacted Chelsea and that the matter is “ongoing”.

The minutes from the meeting between the FSA and Masters, which included CST vice-chair Dom Rosso, read: “RM [Masters] confirmed the PL had written to Chelsea to seek clarification on the club’s position with the matter ongoing.

“RM advised the PL would reply to CST once the PL had concluded its discussions with the club.”

Chelsea took strong action against ticket touts earlier this season.

They told supporters in an email that they had cancelled 1,500 membership accounts where a link to ticket touting had been identified.

Chelsea have been contacted for comment.

THIS is the moment a mammoth wedge tornado rips a path of destruction killing three and causing thousands to lose power.

The deathly winds tore through parts of North Dakota – devastating homes and swallowing electric cables.

Two men and one woman have been confirmed dead by officials in two areas around the town of Enderlin, North Dakota south of Fargo.

Shocking footages shows the sky illuminated by lightening as a dense and mushrooming cloud swirls.

The large hail and powerful winds are believed to have battered through Northern Minnesota and northern Wisconisn on Friday with communities Spiritwood, Valley City and Fort Ransom largely affected.

Some 25,000 residents were left without power as some areas like Sheldon stuck without electricity until Saturday evening.

While the brutal storm was confirmed as a tornado crews are still working to determine its strength and wind speeds.

Meteorologist Timothy Lynch, said: “Essentially, that produced the winds upward of 114 mph across a portion of eastern North Dakota and even in northwest Minnesota.

“I’ve not seen one since I’ve been here. I’ve been here seven years.”

Although an exact figure has not been determined, a number of homes also suffered extensive damage with reports of blown out roofs and damages buildings.

Michaela and Colton Briss live in the path where the tornado travelled north.

The couple were forced to hide in their basement as the twister destroyed their home’s windows and door frames, reports Inforum.

North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong said: “Our hearts and sympathies go out to the family and friends of the three North Dakotans who tragically lost their lives in Friday’s tornado, and to the close-knit community in Enderlin, which suffered widespread damage.

“We thank our dedicated first responders and community leaders, including our many volunteer first responders, for their swift action to keep residents safe and help them recover.”

This comes just a couple of months after a tornado ripped through Arkansas and rumbled Mirrouri.

At least four people were reported dead in neighbouring Tennessee and Missouri as the tornadoes battered the wider region.

Dramatic footage showed a dense grey wedge blotting out the sky.

Whilst huge clouds were seen dragged into the centre, which swirled down to the ground.

Bright fiery flashes were captured sparking amongst the dark mass as electricity cables were torn from their masts.

Debris could be seen flying around the tornado as it smashed through trees and buildings.

The storm was first spotted just east of Jonesboro, before it tore a northeasterly path towards the state line with Missouri.

Winds of almost 200mph accompanied the violent vortex, adding to the carnage.

Brandon Copic, a storm chaser for Fox Weather, who braved an approach, said at the time: “It’s coming very close to me. There is an audible roar with it right now.”

Weather experts estimated it was at least a four on EF scale, with some signs of being even stronger.

A category four storm is characterised as a violent with wind speeds between 166 and 200 mph, capable of causing catastrophic damage, levelling well-built structures, and tossing vehicles and large objects.

Whether you’re exploring a new city or just popping to your local beer garden on a sunny afternoon, you want to feel comfortable in your summer fit.

However, certain outfits when worn in the sun can become a perfect storm for chafing.

To prevent this, swing by your local Boots and pick up the Dermacare Anti-Chafe Powder for just £2.40.

According to the product description, this buy “helps reduce the discomfort caused by rubbing and chafing”.

It offers “soothing relief for irritated chapped skin” and it’s currently cheaper than ever.

The chain retailer has slashed a third off the price, so grab it while you can.

It contains 95.5% natural ingredients, which are carefully curated to help absorb excess moisture.

This ensures your skin is kept dry, soft, and in good condition.

Suitable for all skin types, this product is also cruelty free and internationally approved.

To use, simply wash and dry the area of skin prone to chafing, or the area already affected by chafing.

Then apply the powder liberally, repeating as necessary throughout the day.

Boots shoppers rated the product a perfect five stars in the site’s review section.

“So good for the chafing between a powerlifter’s legs, months of irritation and sore have just vanished,” said one customer.

“This powder is great for anyone who like me has large boobs and tend to sweat a lot underneath,” shared another person.

“I use it after my shower every day and it works a treat. Would recommend.”

“Wonderful soft powder that absorbs really well. Keeps you dry and odour free,” said a third reviewer.

“Excellent product. Haven’t had to use any deodorant and my armpits are soft and dry. Love it.”

“I like this product, I used before and it does a good job if your skin gets sore,” wrote another buyer.

Or you can use an item from your makeup bag to tackle “chub rub” this summer.

LUCA BRECEL did not bother to turn up for the first day of the new snooker season and will miss out on a mega-money Chinese takeaway.

The Belgian Bullet has fallen a long way since becoming champion of the world in thrilling style in May 2023.

The 2025-26 baize campaign began on Sunday with Wuhan Open qualifying and Brecel, 30, was due to play Pakistani Haris Tahir.

It was scheduled to take place at 2.30pm at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester.

Yet Brecel, who has fallen to 39th on the WST list, appears not to have been in the country.

So, a 5-0 walkover was awarded to his opponent, who secured a spot in the main draw in the Far East.

On Saturday, he posted images of himself with his reported new girlfriend and hours before his match he uploaded a photo of pizzas and two wine glasses.

If anything, it suggested he was not necessarily in the mood for break-building.

It is another sorry situation for a potting maverick who lives by his own rules.

His absence means he will not take part in the Wuhan Open, which takes place in the last week of August and has a top prize of about £140,000.

Former world champions Mark Williams, Shaun Murphy and John Higgins all made the effort to play over the weekend despite qualifying being behind closed doors.

During the World Championship, Brecel flew to Sheffield, from Holland via East Midlands Airport, on the day of his second-round clash with Ding Junhui.

That is because he did not want to stay the night before in a hotel in South Yorkshire.

Amazingly, he dominated the opening session 7-1 against Ding even though he had only arrived in the UK a few hours earlier.

Emily, 34, first rose to fame in 2008 when she played Charlotte Hinchcliffe in the hit TV sitcom, The Inbetweeners.

She recently starred in the hit Disney+ series Rivals based on the 1988 novel of the same name by Dame Jilly Cooper.

The TV personality gave birth to her first child, Barney, in June 2024 with her partner Alistair Garner.

Now she is celebrating his first birthday with a lavish birthday party with her nearest and dearest.

This included an appearance with her longtime friend and colleague Leigh Francis – who is also known by his TV alter-ego, Keith Lemon.

Emily took to her Instagram story as she shared a behind-the-scenes sneak peek into the big day.

The first image showed the comedian standing next to Emily’s brother George Atack, who shared a striking resemblance with the TV personality.

She humorously captioned the snap: “Twinnys.”

Emily has a long history of working with the Virgin Radio presenter as she has appeared in a number of his shows.

In 2012, she appeared in Lemon La Vida Loca, before featuring in The Keith Lemon Sketch Show three years later.

She also worked with Paddy McGuinness in both series of The Keith & Paddy Picture Show.

In 2020 she was made a team captain in the long-running ITV comedy panel show, Celebrity Juice alongside Laura Whitmore.

Another snap showed a lavish grazing table filled with sweet treats such as strawberries, fairy cakes, mini donuts and small buckets of popcorn.

The display also contained bespoke biscuits in the shape of the number one with pastel blue icing.

Emily captioned the story: “Thank you @pinkgingercatering for making Barneys party absolutely perfect!”

Other snaps show her family playing in plastic pens in the corner of her garden and a special painting corner for the children.

The outdoor space was also decorated with bunting while guests tucked into the buffet.

EAGLE-eyed royal fans have spotted a surprising blunder in Meghan Markle’s latest Instagram post – despite the Duchess of Sussex being praised for her “attention to detail”.

The photo, posted on the official Instagram page of her lifestyle brand As Ever, appears to be a heartfelt thank-you to followers.

Now, Meghan’s oversight has led some to call this her own “take two” moment[/caption]

But the image, believed to be taken in Meghan’s kitchen in Montecito, California, seems to have accidentally revealed more than intended.

At first glance, the post looks polished and charming.

A handwritten note sits neatly in the centre of the picture on a marble worktop, reading: “You’re beautiful. Full stop.”

The note is surrounded by sprigs of thyme, two eggs, a rolling pin and scattered flour, with Meghan’s hand peeking into the bottom left corner of the image.

However, fans quickly noticed something that seemed out of place – a small black mouse cursor just above Meghan’s hand on the left edge of the picture.

The digital slip suggests the image may have been taken as a screen grab, rather than a fresh photograph.

Followers took to social media to comment on the tiny detail.

One user posted on Twitter: “Eagle eye right there.”

Another wrote: “I didn’t even notice that, well spotted,” as the image gained attention online.

Others were excited to simply catch a glimpse behind the scenes of the Duchess’s latest project – a lifestyle venture that’s seen a wave of success since launching earlier this year.

The cursor blunder has drawn comparisons to another royal photo mishap.

Last year, the Princess of Wales came under fire for edits made to an official family photo, sparking widespread speculation and criticism.

Now, Meghan’s oversight has led some to call this her own “take two” moment.

It follows another incident at the start of the year when Meghan made her long-awaited return to social media.

On New Year’s Day, she posted a video of herself barefoot on the beach, writing “2025” in the sand.

But sharp-eyed viewers spotted an earlier attempt already written nearby – suggesting the scene may have required a few takes.

One follower quipped: “Wonder how many it took to get the perfect shot?” while others noticed multiple footprints in the background that hinted at previous runs.

This week’s Instagram post came as Meghan launched three new items under her As Ever brand – a Napa Valley rosé wine, an apricot spread, and a limited-edition orange blossom honey.

In her caption, she wrote: “It’s true. From our hearts to your homes, thank you for being here. You’re the sweetest part of what we do!”

The new wine is Meghan’s first move into the drinks market, described by the brand as having “soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish”.

The 2023 rosé will be available to buy from 1 July, just in time for summer.

The new honey – priced at £21 – is said to have a “beautiful golden hue” and “delicate floral notes with subtle citrus undertones”.

It sold out quickly, along with the apricot spread, which comes in either a keepsake jar (£10) or a standard pot (£7).

The brand also brought back several items from its first collection, including raspberry spread, herbal teas, flower sprinkles and shortbread cookie mix.

Most of the original items sold out within an hour of launch.

Meghan originally announced the brand earlier this year under the name American Riviera Orchard, but changed it after a trademark dispute.

Explaining the name switch, she said: “Last year, I had thought, ‘American Riviera’, that sounds like such a great name… but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area.”

She added: “As Ever essentially means as it’s always been… If you’ve followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know I’ve always loved cooking and crafting and gardening — this is what I do.”

Now, as her followers continue to grow – with her personal account @meghan already boasting over 3.9 million – every post she shares is under the spotlight.

And as this latest image proves, no detail, however small, escapes notice.
