DOECHII fans have complained after noticing their Glastonbury performance is mysteriously missing from BBC iPlayer.

Just 24 hours after receiving rave reviews, the musician’s set was still unavailable on the broadcaster’s streaming service – sparking confusion among fans.

The BBC aired Glastonbury live over the weekend and performances are available on iPlayer[/caption]

It is currently available to listen to on BBC Sounds, however taking to a Reddit forum, one asked: “Anyone know why the Doechii performance isn’t on iPlayer?

“I heard she killed it so I wanted to go back and watch but I’m not seeing it.”

Another replied: “Highly disappointed – her set was absolutely incredible and was the first one I was going to watch back at home!”

Someone else claimed: “The artist has a right to veto it if they want. Maybe it’s that? Happens sometimes.”

And a fourth claimed: “Artists/teams have the sign clearance forms. It’s way more manic than you would imagine… it one BBC Exec running around back stage getting all the signatures.”

The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, Alanis Morisette, Rod Stewart, and Charli XCX are just some of the sets already up on the iPlayer, with more to come when they are ready.

It comes after the festival dealt with an overcrowding issue after declaring fans to AVOID one of the major stages.

As Neil Young took to the main Pyramid stage as the headliner of the evening, pop fans ditched the rocker in favour of other acts.

Charli XCX had been set to perform on the Other Stage at 10.30pm, with Scissor Sisters on the third biggest stage, Woodsies, and Doechii on the West Holts stage.

However, nearly an hour before the set was due to start, the crowd at Woodsies had got so big that they were forced to close access.

The team simply posted a message on X (formerly Twitter), declaring: “No access to Woodsies.

“Please head to another area of the site – thank you.”

It’s also been reported the Other Stage was closed off, as was West Holts, however Glastonbury did not issue a statement for any other diversions apart from Woodsies.

But Mark Savage, BBC entertainment correspondant, wrote of the Other Stage: “I just abandoned my post at Neil Young and sprinted up to The Other Stage to catch a quick moment with Charli XCX. No dice.

“Even with backstage access and BBC passes, the Other Stage is closed. I can hear her, I can see the lights.”

This marked the second time Woodsies had been forced to shut down for crowd control – with Lorde’s early Friday morning surprise set also causing chaos.

The New Zealand singer appeared on stage to celebrate the release of her new album, Virgin, in a last minute appearance.

So the news came as a massive annoyance to ticketholders, who have criticised the team for poor organisation.

They’ve been particularly critical of putting big names like Charli XCX and Doechii against each other on the line-up, and on smaller stages that don’t have the capacity needed for the crowd.

“Terrible programming throughout, you need a massive re think for your next festival,” wrote one.

“doechii and charli clashing at glasto is EVIL WORK!!” said another.

“I’m not being funny but I’m struggling to stay awake for Doechii watching Neil Young…” noted one more.

Spanish cops arrested a man described as a friend of the victim after the accident on Saturday night.

He appeared in court on Sunday to face charges of manslaughter and an alcohol-related offence after cops reported he failed a breathalyser test.

Police said the speedboat crashed into the jet ski at 7.25pm on Saturday at a beach called Los Toros – just west of the popular Spanish holiday resort of Estepona.

Debra is believed to have died at the scene.

Ashton Town FC, which plays this season in First Division North, confirmed the tragedy in a statement this evening.

The club said: “It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that on behalf of Ashton Town FC we announce the tragic death of Debra Wright, the wife of Chris our Chairman who was tragically killed whilst on holiday in Spain on Saturday evening.

“Our family are in mourning at this sad time and we ask for time for Chris and his family and everyone at the club to be able to start to come to terms with this tragedy.

“RIP Debra, fly high sweetheart x.”

Pilkington Football Club offered its support by saying: “Really sorry to hear this. sending all of our love to Chris and family.”

Well-wisher Ben Jenkins added: “So sorry for your loss Chris. All thoughts going out to you and all the family.”

A spokesperson for the Civil Guard in Malaga said: “I can confirm the dead woman is a 43-year-old British national.

“She was a passenger on the jet ski.”

Another police source said: “The jet ski was being driven by her partner.

“They appear to have been hit from behind by a friend at the wheel of a speedboat.”

A spokesperson for the UK’s Foreign Office said they were supporting the family of a British woman who died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.

AN IRISH tennis star has hailed as a “dream come true” the chance to play at Wimbledon.

James McCabe, 21, faces Hungary‘s Fabian Marozsan tomorrow in his first involvement at tennis‘ most prestigious tournament.

He is Australian-born – with his dad Patrick having moved to Sydney with his brother in 1987 when he was 22 – while he also has an Irish passport.

Patrick, originally from Walkinstown in Dublin, met and married wife Irene, who is from the Philippines, and has two kids – James and his sister Jasmin.

Mr McCabe appeared on RTÉ’s Oliver Callan to discuss his son’s rise to tennis stardom, and revealed his unconventional way of teaching him.

He admitted: “I did it through YouTube because, as a labourer, I didn’t have much money.”

Their early base of operation was a complex in Rockdale, near Sydney Airport.

Patrick added: “There were two tennis courts in the facility.

“I took James down when he was two-and-a-half or three so he had a bit of aptitude.

“If the courts weren’t there, I don’t think James would have picked up a racket.”

Along with tennis, James showed an aptitude for both swimming and music.

He is a former national champion in the pool, while he learned how to play the flute and piano and is a self-taught guitar player.

While his dad admitted to getting “carried away” and being “a bit hard” on his son, James himself argued he did not know any different.

McCabe explained: “That was my childhood. Maybe it wasn’t normal at the time but it is what it is and that is the only thing I knew so it was normal to me.

“Probably looking back now, it wasn’t the most normal but it builds character and without it, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”

That is despite a hectic daily schedule that did not even account for tennis, which he temporarily gave up when he was 12 until 15.

“I had to wake up at like 4am or 5am in the morning.

“Swimming training would start at 5am then go to 7am and then at 7:30am I would have to do orchestra or choir or symphonic wind band or marching band depending on the day.

“I would go to school, it would start at 8:30am, recess at 10:30am, music lesson then and then 10:30am to 1pm would be classes and then another music lesson.

“3:45pm finish school, try to get something to eat quickly and then there would be orchestra after school, marching band, or symphonic wind band.

“That would finish at 5pm or 6pm, then try to get something light to eat then before swimming lessons at 7pm.

“I would be finishing at 9pm, get home at nearly 10pm. Try to get my homework done, go to bed at midnight and get up the next day at 5am.”

‘GOOSEBUMPS’

Once he picked the racket up once again, his talent was quickly apparent.

James won schoolboys national titles in singles, and nationals in singles and doubles before getting a wildcard into the Australian junior championships.

He beat Tomas Barrios Vera of Chile at Roehampton to qualify for Wimbledon and admitted getting the chance to walk the same hallowed grounds as his heroes made for a dream come true.

He beamed: “It is every tennis player’s dream to play Wimbledon.

“It is one of the biggest sporting events in the world and, being Irish, my dad’s dream was always to come to Wimbledon.

“He would always watch it when he was younger. He would watch Bjorn Borg because it was on RTE and BBC so being here and walking through the gates, it gives you goosebumps.

“It is a bit overwhelming. All the history hits you at once.

“I was lucky enough to get the Championship Tour so I got to walk where Novak Djokovic and all the greats walked.”

While born in Australian and the son of a Philippine mum, James is proud of his Irish roots.

He holds an Irish passport, a distinction his 13-year-old sister Jasmin is keen to replicate.

And he revealed his dad Patrick has imparted his taste in Irish music onto him.

“I have three aunties in Ireland: one in Blessington, one in Saggart, and one in Mullingar. I have also got an uncle in Sydney.

“Irish has always been a big part of my life.

“I have been to Ireland four times and dad always takes us. He likes smoked cod and chips but I like fresh cod and chips.

“He always listens to the Dubliners and all that stuff. Every day he plays the old Irish songs.

“He makes me play them on the flute, the Irish national anthem and the old songs about the IRA and all that stuff.”

A TEENAGER who began taking drugs when he was 12-years-old stabbed a man to death using a knife he kept hidden behind a bin near a busy main street, the Central Criminal Court heard today.

The court was also told today that the defendant, who is not facing a mandatory life sentence because he was a child when he carried out the murder, is at “high risk” of reoffending without support interventions.

The now 19-year-old, who can’t be identified because he was 17 when he first came before the courts, pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court in March to murdering Aaron Keating, 43, on June 13, 2023 at Main Street, Ongar, Dublin 15.

The deceased’s sister Linda Keating told today’s sentencing hearing that Aaron was the baby of the family, 16 years her junior.

She said: “I never thought he would be gone before me.”

She added: “I never imagined anything like this would happen to our family. It’s something that you read about or that happens to somebody else and not to us. The effect of this is huge on all of us.”

She said she lives with the constant fear that “something like this” could happen again.

She added: “There are the sleepless nights when you know your relatives are out and about, doing their thing. The fear when walking to your car at night.

“The sadness in your heart when certain music is playing, the films that you can’t watch any more, constantly talking about the what ifs.”

Another sister, Debbie Keating, described Aaron as her “colourful brother and also my friend”.

She said: “Sometimes I forget for a second that he’s gone, like when I’m telling a story about something that happened when we were children, but then the harsh reality hits that he isn’t coming back.”

‘HARMELESS SOUL’

John Keating, the deceased’s brother, said the family’s world was “turned upside down by the horrible events” of that day, leaving them empty as they relive how he died. He described his brother as a “harmless soul who was liked by everyone who met him.”

Det Gda Jenny Greene told prosecution senior counsel James Dwyer that the defendant was hanging around Ongar, smoking cannabis with a group of teenagers from about 3pm that afternoon.

He had a number of interactions with Mr Keating, who had suffered mental health difficulties all his life.

At about 6pm, “something triggered a reaction” in Mr Keating, who pushed the youth up against a window.

The defendant ran to a common area at the bottom of steps leading up to apartments where he had earlier stashed a knife behind a bin.

In later garda interviews, the accused would say that he kept the knife there for his protection.

The other youths who had been with the defendant encouraged Mr Keating to leave the area.

He crossed the street but about 90 seconds after the previous interaction, the defendant appeared wearing his t-shirt over his head and face and carrying a knife.

STAB ATTEMPTS

He ran towards Mr Keating and made “a number of attempts to stab him”, inflicting one stab wound to the abdomen, Det Gda Greene said.

Mr Keating collapsed within seconds and died from the injury.

State Pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster found that the knife had cut the aorta, causing massive bleeding.

The defendant went to a garda station the following morning with his mother and admitted to what he had done.

In subsequent interviews, he said he had been smoking cannabis and taking mushrooms when Mr Keating asked him for a joint. He said he laughed, refused to give him a joint and called Mr Keating a junkie.

He claimed the deceased attacked him so he ran to get the knife so he could “get him before he gets me”.

He said he didn’t want Mr Keating to die but wanted to scare him.

‘HE TRIGGERED ME’

He said: “He was egging me on. I don’t know what he said but he triggered me.”

Seamus Clarke SC, for the defendant, reminded the court that a recent Supreme Court ruling has stated that children should only receive life sentences for murder in exceptional cases.

The evidence in this case, he said, was of an “impulsive lashing out by a child”.

The fatal encounter lasted just five seconds and the deceased suffered one stab wound that “unfortunately” severed his aorta, counsel said.

He said his client had asked him to express his remorse and regret for what he did.

The court heard the defendant had suffered a number of medical issues as a child that led to him disengaging from his education.

He started using drugs aged 12 and in one report since going into custody, the defendant said he has taken a “litany of almost every drug you can think of apart from heroin,” Mr Clarke said.

PROBATION REPORT

A probation report shows that he has had disciplinary issues while in detention and he is at a high risk of reoffending without interventions.

A probation officer set out conditions for any period of supervision that might be ordered by the court.

Mr Clarke asked the judge to tailor a sentence to mark the seriousness of the offence and to offer the greatest chance for rehabilitation.

Mr Clarke: “He will be released at some stage.

“I ask the court to put in place measures to assist him in moving forward and to benefit society.”

If he can turn his life around, “that will be of great significance not only to him but to society at large,” Mr Clarke said.

Mr Justice Paul McDermott adjourned sentencing until July 7 next.

ICE creams are melting in less than five minutes in the record-high heat of Wimbledon’s opening day – leaving grumpy fans with sticky fingers.

Stalls selling tubs and lollies are a lengthy walk from some courts.

It means those hoping to take a snack back to their chosen game could be forced to wolf it down on the way or find it melted at their seats.

Ice cream prices have remained unchanged since last year, with tubs and cones both setting fans back £4.50.

And when The Sun’s reporters tried to buy an ice cream from a stall near the packed No.1 Court, we were told the till system had gone offline.

The vendor told us: “It’s broken, so we can’t sell anything right now.

“This freezer is holding up OK in the heat, but it’s not as powerful as some of the others, so maybe the heat is making the ice creams melt quicker this year.”

It was fixed 20 minutes later at around 3pm, but not before a queue of dozens of people had formed to get a cooling snack.

Once we had our sweet treat, we waited for it to wilt in the blistering heat.

Within three minutes, melted ice cream was already trickling over our reporter’s fingers, before the chocolate shell caved in with only five minutes on the clock.

It meant most of our salted caramel stick, like many others’ snacks, ended on the floor of SW19.

Temperatures reportedly hit a whopping 34 degrees at the All England Club this afternoon – the hottest first day of the Championship ever.

The heat appeared to take its toll on many players, including former finalist Ons Jabeur, who fell ill and had to retire after having her blood pressure checked.

COPS have confirmed they have identified the human remains which washed ashore on a Scots beach earlier this month.

The grim discovery was made on Tuesday, June 10, on Prestwick Beach in Ayrshire.

Emergency services were called to the scene after a human “leg” was reportedly found at the popular tourist spot.

One witness told The Scottish Sun: “I was walking along the beach early on Tuesday morning when I came across a leg bone.

“It was buried under some seaweed. It was just a bone with the sock and shoe still on it.”

It is understood that the remains were linked to the body of a man found in the Donaghadee Road area of Millisle in Northern Ireland in May.

His death is not being treated as suspicious.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 10.45am on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, we received a report that human remains had been discovered on Prestwick Beach in Ayrshire.

“The remains have now been identified as those of a missing person from outside of Scotland.

“The relevant police service has been informed.”

A spokesperson for the PSNI told the Ayr Advertiser: “The Police Service of Northern Ireland can confirm that the body found in the Donaghadee Road area of Millisle on Wednesday, May 21, has been identified.

“The remains were determined to be male, and police are engaging with the family of the deceased.

“The death is not being treated as suspicious.”

Elsewhere, a body has been found during a frantic search for the founder of a popular hotel after he fell from a boat on Loch Lomond.

Alan Colquhoun, 83, is believed to have been on a boat ride with members of his family when he fell overboard on Thursday afternoon.

Emma Raducanu begins her tournament against 17-year-old Brit Mimi Xu on Court One, while Katie Boulter will look to pull off a huge shock in her opener as she faces World No9 Paul Badosa.
