THE latest performance of West End musical Evita is facing a growing controversy.

On Thursday evening two ambulances raced to The London Palladium after multiple members of the public fell ill – with one being whisked to hospital.

Large crowds of up to 200 people gathered outside the venue for hours to see actress Rachel Zegler, 24, perform Don’t Cry For Me Argentina from the balcony.

But as the country baked in blistering heat members of the public struggled to cope resulting in emergency services being called just minutes before Rachel was due to belt out the hit.

A source said: “As word spreads more and more people are flocking to the Palladium to see Rachel’s performance and it’s turning into a bit of a nightmare.

“Crowd control is bad enough on the public street but with the heat it’s becoming really dangerous.

“Ambulances were parked outside the venue for almost an hour before racing to the hospital just minutes before Rachel appeared.”

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 8.16pm yesterday to reports of a person unwell in Argyll Street, central London.

“We sent two ambulance crews to the scene.

“While treating the patient, our crews were called to help a second person who was unwell nearby.

“One patient was taken to hospital and the second was given medical advice and discharged at the scene.”

MODEL Iris Law looks cool for summer — as it emerged a DJ may be the new apple of her eye.

The 24-year-old was spotted smiling on a stroll with Tommy Gold, 27.

She previously had a five-month relationship with Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, 26, after they met at a Guess photoshoot.

Iris — daughter of actor Jude Law and film producer Sadie Frost — and Tommy were seen browsing in Portobello Road Market, West London, and picking up flowers.

She had earlier posed in a white summer dress for Spanish fashion brand Zara.

In November 2024, it was revealed the couple had split up and Trent had moved onto a new romance.

A pal insisted there is “no bad blood” between Iris and Trent, but added: “Being a Wag was never really going to be her bag.”

The footie ace is now dating influencer Estelle Behnke.

She was recently seen in Spain accompanying him to his unveiling at new club Real Madrid.

A US judge has declared a mistrial in a case involving Dublin firefighter Terence Crosbie, who is accused of rape.

Mr Crosbie is accused of raping a 29-year-old attorney in a Boston hotel room over St Patrick’s Day weekend in 2024.

He was sharing the room with his colleague Liam O’Brien, both of whom had travelled over as part of a group of firefighters to participate in the Boston parade.

Mr Crosbie was arrested on March 16, 2024 and was on trial this week for the alleged offence.

He has been held at the Nashua Street jail in Boston since his arrest.

However, the jury of eight men and four women were unable to reach a verdict after four days and 22 hours of deliberation.

As they returned to the court room today the judge declared the jury as “hung”.

Judge Sarah Ellis said: “I declare that this jury is deadlocked and I declare a mistrial.”

Both the woman and Mr Crosbie testified over the five-day trail.

The 29-year-old attorney alleges she met Liam O’Brien in a bar on March 14 and returned to the hotel room where they had consensual sex.

However, she claims after they fell asleep in separate beds she woke up as a man she did not know was raping her.

Liam O’Brien remained asleep and was snoring at this stage.

The trial heard CCTV shows Mr Crosbie enter the hotel room and the woman leave 20 minutes later.

The woman also alleges the man told her: “I know you want this. [Mr O’Brien] can’t even do this for you – what a loser.”

Mr Crosbie denies the charge and said that he had no sexual contact with the woman and that he “didn’t touch” her.

DNA evidence collected from the woman did show two samples the court heard.

However, analysts were unable to determine whether the second sample belonged to Mr Crosbie.

He testified in court: “There was nobody in my bed. My bed was empty.”

He also said “loser” was not a common Irish term and he would not have said it.

A new trial date has been set for October 14 and bail was increased from $10,000 to $50,000 after the judge deemed the accused to be a flight risk.

SOLEMN Hailey Bieber has been seen without her wedding ring on separate outings in NYC amid rumors she’s divorcing husband Justin.

The model has fueled divorce rumors in recent days following the troubled pop star’s public outbursts, concerning comments, and overall bizarre behavior over the past few weeks.

As speculation swirls that Hailey, 28, decided to leave Justin, 31, amidst his erratic behavior, the Rhode Beauty founder has been spotted out and about in NYC without her wedding ring. 

Hailey put her left hand, and that particular ring finger, on full display as she went out for breakfast at The Commerce Inn in the West Village.

Wearing a khaki trench coat and sunglasses, she appeared stressed as she exited her black SUV to walk into the restaurant. 

As she stepped out of the vehicle, she kept her left arm up the entire time she was being photographed – giving cameras a full view of her ringless hand. 

In another picture, Hailey faces the cameras and uses her left hand to touch the side of her head – once again putting her ringless finger at the center point. 

It seems the public outing while noticeably ditching her wedding ring wasn’t just a one-time thing, as Hailey stepped out on a separate occasion and pulled the same move. 

Later in the evening, Hailey was seen with fellow models Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse for a girls’ night out at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side in NYC. 

She donned a black leather coat and matching high-neck top with wide-leg jeans, and completed her look with heels.

As she walked down the busy NYC streets, Hailey once again made sure to display her left hand in full view for the cameras. 

Hailey placed her left arm across her chest as she made her way down Lexington Avenue. 

She then kept the ringless hand on full display on her hip as she seemingly flaunted the hand for the photographers. 

The beauty billionaire made sure her left ring finger, which does not feature her $500k engagement ring, was visible the entire duration of both of her outings.

Rumors that the A-list couple may have separated ran rampant this year after Justin’s concerning behavior in public

Earlier this week, Justin posted a number of cryptic messages and private leaked texts.

In one worrying post, the Sorry singer shared a blurry black-and-white selfie where he looked solemn.

He wrote, “Tired of transactional relationships. If I have to do something to be loved that’s not love”.

The Sun also exclusively revealed yesterday how Hailey had blasted Justin for behaving like a ‘f**ing child’ after he was pictured in a strip club.

Her frustration came after Hailey pleaded with her husband to get help and is left feeling like she is banging her head against a wall, according to an insider.

Divorce speculation grew during Father’s Day weekend as there was no tribute from Justin to his ten-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber, and no mention of Hailey – despite making a post for himself.

Justin was also photographed having a public outburst at a Malibu beach this past week, going viral for seeming “unwell” as he rants on and on to the videographer.

The outburst has since turned into a meme for Justin uttering the now-famous phrase: “Is it not clocking to you that I’m standing on business?”

Amidst Justin’s apparent mental health struggles, there have also been report he’s in massive debt – which comes on the bring of Hailey selling her beauty brand, Rhode, for $1 billion.

A few weeks earlier, Justin celebrated Hailey’s first Vogue cover by admitting he once got into a “huge fight” with his wife over her dream job.

“I told hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue,” he confessed in an Instagram post – causing fury from fans who demanded he treat his wife with “more respect.”

The post also left Hailey “beyond furious,” The U.S. Sun previously reported.

NOW I’M A BELIEBER

Justin and Hailey first tied the knot in a civil ceremony in New York City in September 2018.

They had a grand, more traditional wedding the following year in September 2019 at the Montage Palmetto Bluff resort in Bluffton, South Carolina.

Hailey and Justin welcomed their son, Jack Blues Bieber, on August 23, 2024.

LOVE Island will be thrown into chaos with a messy game of ‘spin the bottle’ on Sunday.

In the teaser clip for Sunday night, everything kicked off and heated up between the singles as they played the raunchy game.

Playing the iconic game of Spin the Bottle, the Islanders could be seen donning their bikinis and Speedos as they took turns in spinning the giant bottle.

In the brief clip, it was clear that Tommy snogged Welsh beauty Emily as Irish beauty Megan looked on in horror.

Tommy is coupled with Megan, but now it looks like there might be tension between the two.

He then sensationally smooched Shakira as well.

Meanwhile, the real bombshell of the game looked to be Shakira’s steamy smooch with Harry.

In the teaser clip’s edit, it seemed as though the Islanders were asked to snog who they’d most like to be coupled up with.

It then cut to Shakira smooching Harry as Helena and Ben looked at their current love interests with disgust.

“Is that Shakira and Harry kissing?” said one viewer in reaction to the teaser clip.

“Shakira and Harry that kiss? no way so she dumped Ben for Harry? This is Crazy. can’t wait for Sunday Night,” penned a second.

“Was that Shakira kissing Harry?” asked a third, in disbelief.

This came after Harry and Shakira rekindled their romance aid “unfinished business” following his hideaway moment with Helena at the start of the series.

In Friday night’s episode, Harry made a move for Shakira again and even told her she’s “The One”.

Pulling Shakira for a chat, Harry asks how she’s feeling.

“Initially, you were number one for me,” Harry said in a candid way to the stunning brunette.

He then said that he doesn’t think he would do the things he does if they were together, because she “wouldn’t stand for it”.

“It was you,” Shakira confessed, “And still is you. But it’s your behaviour for me that I can’t tolerate.”

Harry then admitted that he wanted to spend some more time with her and rekindle what they had at the start.

“If that could possibly be arranged?” he pleaded.

Shakira then said: “It could be arranged.”

ARNE SLOT spent just £10million last summer on Juventus playmaker Federico Chiesa.

But the Liverpool boss — fresh from winning the Premier League title in his debut season — is on a £200m-plus transfer blitz to make sure the Reds blast out of the blocks from day one of pre-season.

German sensation Florian Wirtz, 22, is the marquee signing for a British-record £116.5m and joins his old Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong — who cost £29.5m — at Anfield.

Liverpool fancy Newcastle duo Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon[/caption]

Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez is next to make the move to Merseyside after a £40m deal was agreed yesterday, while Valencia’s £30m keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joins on July 1.

Slot is also keen on Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, while Newcastle pair Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon remain targets in a flurry of summer transfer activity that could see the Kop boss spend another £200m.

While rivals Manchester City and Chelsea exert themselves in the sweltering heat of the Club World Cup — which runs until July 13 in the USA — Liverpool  are primed to turn up the  pressure in the title race when they kick-off the season against Bournemouth on August 15.

Playmaker Wirtz is the headline act in Slot’s revolution — one the Dutchman has been plotting over the last 12 months.

 Slot, 46, paid tribute to predecessor Jurgen Klopp when he lifted a record-equalling 20th league title in front of an adoring Kop back in May.

But the former Feyenoord boss clearly felt he inherited a squad that needed a complete makeover in tactics and personnel.

Slot saved his money and waited while winning the hearts and minds of a doubting red half of Merseyside — as well as players,  who were unsure of what would come next.

At the same time he was  identifying who he wanted — and who he didn’t.

Andy Robertson, Kostas  Tsimikas, Jarrel Quansah — almost certain to leave for  Leverkusen  — Joe Gomez, Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez could all be out this summer.

Of course, Slot had been here before.

After his first season in charge of Feyenoord, in 2021-22, he instigated massive changes.

He moved on 16 players, including £12.9m Tyrell Malacia to Manchester United and Luis  Sinisterra, who was sold to Leeds for £25m, while 11 were either let go or sent out on loan.

Meanwhile, for around £35m — far less than the mammoth  budget he is now armed with — 15 were brought in.

Slot lifted the Eredivisie title in 2023 and the Dutch Cup last year before making his way to Anfield.

And changes were made as he got his feet under the table, although none of them suggested how seismic they would become.

Klopp’s “heavy metal football” morphed into far more controlled and muted melodies, the beat about possession, not frantic assault.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister went to double-bass, the pair redeployed from attacking roles to holding  midfielders.

Trent Alexander-Arnold no longer busked away from his right-back spot so often, Nunez was made a third string, Dominik Szoboszlai moved into a more free–flowing, attacking role, much of it to enable Mo Salah to play all that jazz and become the Football Writers’ Association and Prem Player of the Year.

Slot got the band playing to a more sophisticated rhythm and turned them into a No 1 hit.

The campaign morphed into what seemed a perfect symphony but as Liverpool’s summer splurge shows, with Wirtz  coming in as the conductor of a new orchestra, it was really only the opening overture.

Now comes what Slot will hope will be the creation of his very own work of art, led by 5ft 10in Wirtz, who many believe  is becoming one of the great maestros of the game.

He arrives as a generational talent who not only creates but scores — 44 goal contributions across the last two Bundesliga campaigns, including 21 goals and a league-high of 23 assists.

Wirtz’s figures are the second most of any player aged under 23 in Europe’s top-five leagues, just behind Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.

Last season, for the second in a row, he was one of just six players to reach double figures for goals and assists in Europe’s big-five leagues.
Wirtz is his own one–man band.

He is  almost faultless with both feet and waltzes past defenders because he is so difficult to predict.

 Over the last two years he attempted a Bundesliga-high of 313 take-ons.

And just Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal (231), West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus (216) and Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku (203) completed more than his 161 dribbles in that same time frame in Europe’s top five leagues.

Wirtz created 124 chances from open play in that period, a figure bettered only by Salah (150), Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard (139), Manchester United’s captain Bruno Fernandes (137) and Chelsea’s Palmer (134).

These mighty statistics  suggest the playmaker ranked first in the Bundesliga for through balls (49) and completed lay-off passes (123) last season will be a sensation under Slot as he continues his makeover

AN emotional Brian Dowling has revealed he was “distraught” as his daughter Blake marked a major milestone.

Blake finished up her trial in Playschool[/caption]

The pair often share snippets of their day-to-day lives with their little ones on social media.

Two-year-old Blake is gearing up to start play-school this year and both Brian and Arthur have been preparing her for the big change.

The couple brought Blake to her preschool for the very first time last month.

Brian took to Instagram today to share an update as the two-year-old brings her playschool journey to a close… for now.

The dad-of-two shared an adorable selfie of him and his little one both grinning wide.

The pair took the photo as Brian marked his last morning walk with Blake to playschool.

Sharing the photo with fans, Brian was clearly beaming with pride as he told Blake didn’t “shed one tear, kick up a fuss or ever refuse to go in any morning”.

He added: “And Just Like That, it’s the last school walk for Blake and me until September.

“Blake only started preschool 5 weeks ago as a little tester to see how things would go for her when she starts full time in September.”

He continued: “We started off slow and within 2 weeks she was ROCKING it from 08:30am – 12pm. I was absolutely distraught when she started, and many many tears were shed, but she has honestly shown me the way with all of this.

“Not even 3 years old yet and her determination and resilience are second to none. I’ve adored our walks to and from school over the past 2 weeks.

“I would carry her on my shoulders and we would play a game spotting all the red cars. Her little hand rubbing the side of my face. For now, we enjoy the Summer 2025 has to offer and September we got you.”

Friends and fans raced to the presenter’s comment section to gush over the heart warming post.

SUPER BLAKE

Brian’s husband, Arthur wrote: “It’s finally summer.”

Hannah comment: “Aw so cute! Enjoy the summer.”

Geraldine said: “Ahhhh she’s a happy confident little girl. Happy Holidays.”

Maeve remarked: “Adoooooores her Daddy, look at the joyous lil face! Soooooo cute.”

Another fan added: “Super job Blake.”
