Popular non-league club get major boost to new stadium plans with current ground set to be demolished

A POPULAR non-league club has received a major boost in their hopes to build a new stadium.

Dulwich Hamlet have had the next stage of the redevelopment of Champion Hill.

Southwark Council has to approve plans for the astro turf in the playing fields next to the ground to be the setting for the new venue.

The cabinet members have approved the report and signed off on it, which can lead to the demolition of the existing ground.

Local media claims that members agreed to the move to the Greendale Playing Fields so Dulwich can progress its plans.

The club is keen to build an all-weather pitch and then a new stadium to “secure the long-term future” of the club.

Reports have suggested that the playing fields will continue to be available for public use and stay in the council’s hands.

Dulwich chairman Ben Clasper has insisted the council’s decision has been the “final obstacles are removed”.

He said: “Since the planning application was approved, the club has demonstrated that it is a responsible and committed pair of hands when entrusted with open land in the area and delivers on the expectation that we will increase sporting provision and community use.

“We look to grow that responsible stewardship with a new stadium that the community and council can be proud of.”

Dulwich has played in the borough for the past 123 years and has been at Champion Hill since the 1990s.

The club has regularly pulled in crowds to watch the team which has led to Claser to insist the ground is not fit for purpose.

He claimed that 70,000 fans visited the stadium last season for the third year in a row.

It has also been suggested that the club even had to STOP SELLING tickets to avoid going over-capacity.

He added: “These repeated sell-outs are starting to cause negativity in our community.

“They drive people away from the game and actually drive people away from SE22 on the weekends who would rather go elsewhere than risk the disappointment of being turned away.”

Dulwich’s plans for the new stadium would see it boast a capacity of 4,000 fans.

There would be a “kick about” space as well as 219 new homes built in the redevelopment.

Who is Poppy Harrison?

Poppy Harrison is a 22-year-old from Staffordshire who entered Love Island 2025 as a bombshell.

She broke up with her boyfriend just after learning the news that she would be making her entrance into the famous villa.

The Islander flew out to Majorca on the night of June 19, 2025.

A source said: “Poppy is super flirtatious on a night out and I could see her fitting in well with this year’s cast. She is a fan of the show.”

They continued: “Her split with her ex came out of the blue — her boyfriend wasn’t expecting it at all.

“She’s a smart girl and is likely heading into the villa with a game plan.”

As of June 24, 2025, Poppy boasts almost 16,000 followers on Instagram — a number that is sure to skyrocket during her time on Love Island.

On her Insta account, she regularly gives fans a glimpse into her luxurious lifestyle.

In stylish and professional looking pics, she can be seen skiing with her influencer pal Maddie Eastham.

In another, Poppy is proudly showing off her designer purchases and sunning herself in Cannes.

Another shows her with a personalised-plate £50,000 Range Rover Evoque.

She often posts glamorous photos from glitzy nights out, as well as an array of bikini shots from various holidays.

No love lost island

In the series’ latest chaotic twist, they have already left the villa — but the quartet didn’t get far, and they’ve got company.

On June 23, 2025, The Sun revealed the new bombshells would be taking four OG Islanders with them to the Casa Amor villa for the night.

In the summer of 2024, the same twist saw Joey Essex and Grace Jackson get together in saucy scenes.

The behaviour of the OGs at the sleepover caused their partners to lose their minds back at the main villa.

A source said: “The saucy sleepover worked brilliantly last year and bosses felt now was the perfect time to deploy the same cheeky twist.

“Dejon and Meg have just made up, Tommy and Megan and Conor and Emily are wavering, and everyone else is scrambling for a connection.

“The bombshells aren’t playing it safe though and their choices make for brilliant TV.”

Coronation Street fans predict shock death after 20 years on the cobbles as Nina and Summer mystery rocks Weatherfield

CORONATION Street viewers have predicted a shock death for a fan favourite – 20 years after they first arrived on the cobbles.

Numerous residents have come and gone since the ITV soap launched in 1960.

Earlier this week, fans saw Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) and Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) in the aftermath of a distressing experience.

In tears and visibly shaken up, the distraught pair made their way to Roy’s Rolls.

Both women agreed they couldn’t go back to what had happened off-screen, as Nina cried: “We 100% cannot go back.”

Taking to X, some fans believed the mysterious incident somehow involved Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) – and predicted a grim fate.

One wrote: “Definitely more to come! But it could be to do with Amy.”

Another agreed: “I think something happened with Amy because she’s not mentioned in spoilers for the rest of the week. Poor Amy!”

While a third remarked: “Oh yeah! Maybe they left for dead?”

Amy first appeared in Corrie on February 9, 2004 – the episode where she was born.

Several child actors had already played the role when Elle Mulvaney took over in 2010.

Earlier this year, the 22-year-old actress addressed her future on the cobbles.

The star joked she’s got her sights set on beating soap legend Bill Roache’s 65-year reign on the cobbles.

Discussing her on-screen grandfather, Elle said: “Bill, we have spent 15 years together. They are more than colleagues, they do become a part of your family.

“It’s quite the challenge to beat. I am young enough to do it, I guess. It must be incredible for someone to be here 65 years.

“All the stories he must have done and all the people he must have met.

“Who knows what the future will bring? But right now I am loving Corrie more than ever and have no plans to leave, so long as they still want me.”

History of the Coronation Street set

By Jake Penkethman, TV Reporter

1960-1968 – Whilst the Coronation Street set remained on Quay Street for 53 years, it actually had three separate studio sites. The first was an entirely indoor wooden set which was used for the first eight years of filming. This encompassed a replica of the Street built entirely indoors. The set was known to be awkward for actors to use and the houses brought to three quarter scale.

1968-1982 – In 1968, the addition of an outdoor set was created to adjoin the existing indoor set which was still used for filming right up until 1982. The set was used only when required with many of the show’s cast reportedly hating it and describing it as ‘the coldest place on Earth’.

1982-2013 – A brand new set was officially constructed in 1982 and was almost built fully to scale but still only permitted for one car to drive down the cobbled street. The house were purpose-built using reclaimed Salford brick in order to give it the most authentic feel possible. During these years, some of the show’s buildings were adapted to allow for both interior and exterior filming at the same time. These locations included Elliott’s Butchers, Barlow’s Buys, Prima Doner and Webster’s Autos. The final scenes to be recorded on this site occurred in December 2013. By early 2014, it began operating as a tourist attraction for around two years before ultimately being demolished and re-purposed in 2017.

2014-present – In early 2014, the show’s set moved to the TV hub of the North – MediaCityUK in nearby Salford Quays. It is now located a stone’s throw from major TV studio Dock 10 as well as the BBC’s base in the North – home to Blue Peter, Newsround, BBC Breakfast and BBC Sport. The new set was even bigger and built to 9/10 the scale of a real street and allowed for two card to be travelling down the road at opposite sides for the very first time. The site has even undergone major expansions during its 10 years. Just four years after opening in 2018, a brand new set extension was unveiled which introduced viewers to Victoria Gardens for the first time in its history. The Weatherfield North tram stop also became visible as did a series of shops which became used as part of product placement advertising deals. Brands to have been seen on the Street so far include a Co-Op, a Costa Coffee and a branch of Hay’s Travel. Four years later in 2022, another brand new set was unveiled, this time being the heavily mentioned Weatherfield Precinct. It became the first time in 62 years that the area had ever been seen on screens. It fearued a variety of shop fronts, a playground and a number of small flats which have begun to house more and more residents on the street in recent months.

She added: “I still can’t believe I have been there for 15 years. It’s hard to describe because in one way it feels that long but in another way it doesn’t.

“I joined when I was just seven and I’m now 22. I was just a young kid. I am so fortunate though.

“I still love Corrie, where I work and everyone I work with. I am just really lucky.”

Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Emily was the last to choose, with Conor being the last boy standing.

They went for a chat after the recoupling, but fans rushed to social media to insist he was less than impressed with the outcome.

One wrote: “Conor cannot stand Emily.”

Someone else said: “Conor doesn’t like Emily but she won’t rlly get the hint.”

And a third added: “Conor doesn’t rate emily whatsoever.”

Even Love Island legend Jake Cornish wrote: “The way Conor speaks to Emily, the way he sits around her… yea he doesn’t like her anymore.”

Viewers also claimed Ben Holborough looked like he was being “held hostage” after Yasmin Pettet picked him.

Yasmin said in her speech: “My romantic journey so far has been all over the shop.

“I think although it’s early days when I have conversations with this person I feel he just gets me.

“I came here to explore romantic connections and I think I’m really looking forward to this one. So the boy I’m coupling up with is Ben.”

One viewer wrote: “I don’t think Ben likes Yasmin.”

A second said: “Ben looks like he’s been held hostage.”

The gorgeous shorts are available in black, navy, olive green and white.

According to bosses at Next, these Cycle Shorts are “perfect for layering underneath skirts, dresses and shorts or styling alone.”

They’re sure to look great when paired with a T-shirt and trainers for a comfy, casual look.

Not only this, but they’ll even be great for the gym too.

And it’s clear that shoppers are loving them, as they have quickly amassed an average rating of 4.5 out of five online, with numerous five star reviews.

Why are clothes from Next so good?

By Abby McHale Deputy Fashion Editor

Abby McHale said: “Founded in the 80s Next has been a staple on the UK high street for decades.

“Known for being a one stop shop for all the family, it’s directories especially set them apart from the crowd over the years.

“More recently it’s expanded even further, adding a roster of external brands to its repertoire, even branching further into beauty.

“But fashion is what is at its core.

“Thanks to celebrity fashion collaborations with the likes of Rochelle Humes and Emma Willis the brand is up there with the most stylish on the high street. 

“From smart tailoring, classic wardrobe staples, a plethora of shoes and bags and a summer shop to lust over, there is so much to choose from.

“The best thing about Next is that it’s reliable. 

“Not only offering speedy delivery, the stores are as well as in the big cities situated in your local retail parks making them super accessible. 

“Plus the pieces fit well, being true to size even when it comes to jeans, which we all know can be a tricky fit.

“It really is a brand that ticks all the boxes.

“Stylish clothes that also offer comfort and practicality with a price tag to go with – what more could you ask for? 

“And it seems to be working for them with sales reported to be up 5.7 per cent in the first quarter of this year.”

Not only did fashion fans praise the “quality” of the affordable shorts, but they raved about the impressive “value for money” too. 

One person said: “Good purchase! Bought to wear under a dress. Look good, feels nice and soft and comfy too!” 

Excellent value for money. Very useful holiday wear. I’ve brought them in all colours now

Next shopper

Another added: “Lovely material, very good price for the quality.” 

A third commented: “Perfect size and length.” 

At the same time, someone else beamed: “True to size, very comfortable, would recommend.”

Meanwhile, another fashionista simply wrote: “Excellent value for money. Very useful holiday wear. I’ve brought them in all colours now.”

Hottest fashion trends of 2025

Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.

The East/West Bag

Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s’ shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. 

In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. 

They’ve been on runway models’ arms at nearly ever designer show – think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta – and are hitting the high street now, too. 

Powder pink

Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. 

Pantone may say that it’s the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. 

If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. 

The shell jacket

The ’80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. 

We all know we’re likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.

Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in ‘80s windbreakers’. 

Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!

The turn-up jeans

While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different. 

This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. 

For this look, size doesn’t matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good – but only as it’s just one single fold.

Peep-toe shoe

Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. 

After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. 

From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.

Sheer blouses

See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life – until now.

Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S ’25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. 

Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.

Watch flames engulf celeb-loved curry house which featured on BBC as passers-by launch brazen bid to rescue staff

THIS is the dramatic moment heroic passers-by rescue trapped staff from a blaze at a famous curry house loved by celebrities.

Footage from the inferno at Shababs, known as the “home of the Birmingham Balti” shows heroic passers-by smashing windows with rocks to help staff escape the flames.

Smoke can be seen billowing from the curry house, on the city’s Ladypool Road, after a fryer caught fire on Sunday morning (June 22).

In the video, a crowd can be seen gathering on the street outside the venue as pedestrians lob rocks through windows to offer an escape route to staff.

One bystander is said to have brought a ladder to the scene to help with the rescue effort.

The footage shows the large first floor window smashed and cracked, while people can be seen stopping their cars and getting out to offer assistance.

One man reportedly jumped from a first floor window in a desperate bid to escape before being rushed to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation and burns.

Four other people were treated at the scene after escaping the horror fire.

The iconic curry house featured recently on BBC2 when Michael Portillo visited the restaurant.

It regularly attracts visits from YouTubers and celebrities with the Hairy Bikers and Joe Lycett both eating at the restaurant.

Shababs is one of the last remaining original restaurants that created the iconic balti dish 38 years ago.

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service deployed three fire engines to the dramatic scene in Birmingham’s “Balti Triangle”.

Fire and Rescue workers found the premises “significantly smoke-logged”, a statement said.

It continued: “Shortly after 11.10am on Sunday 22 June, we responded to Ladypool Road, Birmingham.

“Three fire engines responded, crewed by firefighters from Ladywood, Highgate and Hay Mills stations.

“The first crew arrived at the scene within two minutes of being mobilised.

“This was a fire, believed to have started accidentally, in a two-storey commercial premises used as a restaurant. Both floors were significantly smoke-logged.

“Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used three hose reel jets to extinguish the fire.

“One person was helped to safety by members of the public from the building before we arrived.

“They are believed to have been conveyed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital after presenting symptoms of smoke inhalation.

“Four members of the public were checked by paramedics for smoke inhalation and were all discharged at the scene.

“The final fire crew left this incident at 2.25pm, with police colleagues still in attendance.”

The famous curry house has been open since 1987 and is one of the city’s best known “Balti Triangle” restaurants.

Zafar Hussain, the owner of Shababs, has said he wants to open the curry house for business again by the end of the week.

How to treat burns

Your skin has three layer; the outer layer (epidermis), the dermis (which contains vessels, nerves, hair follicles) and the deeper layer of fat (subcutis).

A full thickness burn is when all layers of skin are damaged, while a superficial burn is when only the top layer has been effected.

The NHS says to treat a burn:

  • Immediately get the person away from the heat source
  • Remove any clothing or jewellery, including babies’ nappies, but do not move anything that’s stuck to the skin
  • Cool the burn with cool or lukewarm running water for 20 to 30 minutes – do not use ice, iced water, or any creams or greasy substances like butter
  • Make sure the person keeps warm by using a blanket, for example
  • After cooling the burn, cover the burn by placing a layer of cling film over it – a clean plastic bag could also be used for burns on your hand
  • Use painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen
  • Raise the affected area if possible to reduce swelling
  • If it’s an acid or chemical burn, dial 999, carefully try to remove the chemical and any contaminated clothing, and rinse the affected area using as much clean water as possible

You should go to a hospital A&E department for:

  • All chemical and electrical burns
  • Large or deep burns – any burn bigger than the injured person’s hand
  • Burns that cause white or charred skin – any size
  • Burns on the face, neck, hands, feet, any joints or genitals
