A MODEL linked to England footie star Jack Grealish is set to join Love Island.

Emma Silverton was seen leaving a celebrity nightspot with him earlier this year.

Now Emma is being lined up as a late entry for the new series of the ITV2 dating show, which launched on Monday.

A source said: “Emma is an absolute showstopper and is lots of fun so will make a terrific ‘bombshell’.

“As always, bombshells are picked as the action unfolds to ensure the most tempting Islanders are chosen to suit each storyline.”

In February, Manchester City winger Grealish, 29, was followed by Emma out of the Chiltern Firehouse in central London.

New dad Grealish, who was with pal Jaydon Gibbs, was heard shouting, “She’s not with me” — before doubling back inside.

“He re-emerged to get into a chauffeur-driven car.

Witnesses said Emma then popped her head out of the window of a black cab to ask: “Are you guys coming or not?” Gibbs, whose twin Kieran is a former Arsenal defender, joined her in the cab having told the driver to “follow that car”.

The next day, Grealish celebrated Valentine’s Day with girlfriend Sasha Attwood, who gave birth to their daughter in September.

Emma, who used to work as a hostess at the Chiltern Firehouse, was on the books of a New York modelling agency for six years and has been a freelance photographer.

Grealish has been left out of Man City’s Club World Cup squad in the US amid rumours he will be sold by the club.

London-born Joel revealed they got to celebrate the collaboration in Washington DC after both performing at World Pride. 

He told us in an exclusive: “I didn’t finish my DJ set until 1am. I jumped in an Uber across Washington DC, got to her hotel to this sort of restaurant after-party, and she was there just partying. 

“We had a chat and it was really nice. She’d obviously had a big performance that she’d smashed, so she was on a big high from that. 

“I plugged my phone into the speakers and played the track really loud. Her dancers were getting on the table dancing to it and it was just such a moment.

“I ended up staying until about three in the morning and then J.Lo went to bed.” 

Although it was their first meeting, she is clearly a fan of the chart-topping DJ. It was her team who approached him about making the remix. 

Joel said: “I was like, ‘Wow, what an email to get’.” 

He was back home for his 36th birthday on Tuesday. Joel said of his girlfriend, reality star Coco Lodge: “She bought me some new bed sheets. I’m really chuffed with them.” 

Mariah ball room blitz 

Mariah Carey is back in the UK this weekend – and she’s not travelling light. 

I’m told she has requested almost all of the dressing rooms at Capital’s Summertime Ball on Sunday, which has caused bosses to rethink their plans.

They are trying to juggle a number of schedules, working out when performers will arrive and leave Wembley Stadium to accommodate the line-up. 

Mariah touched down in London on Thursday by private jet, having loaded the plane with white roses, white linen table clothes and fruit.

On Instagram, she also posted a large cake with the name of her new single, Type Dangerous. 

A source said: “Mariah is going all-out for her set and that means lavish costumes and dancers.

“Her entourage is as big as you’d expect. It’s causing a bit of a headache for Capital bosses as she’s requested as good as all of the dressing rooms backstage. 

“Obviously there are other huge acts like Benson Boone and Jade, so to take them all isn’t possible.” 

Organisers are working around the clock to make things perfect for her. 

She plays a gig at Sandringham this summer, and also headlines Brighton Pride in August. Earlier this month she kicked off a new era, releasing Type Dangerous from her upcoming 16th album.

Nervous Raye a hit for Meryl 

British powerhouse Raye may have performed at the Oscars, Grammys and the Brits, but her latest show was one of the most nerve-racking to date. 

She took to the stage at a VIP dinner in central London to celebrate posh watch brand Audemars Piguet. 

The singer, below, told pals the 20-minute intimate performance in front of Naomi Campbell, Romeo Beckham and Meryl Streep was among the most terrifying of her career 

During the set, superstar DJ Mark Ronson – who has joined Raye on new collaboration Suzanne, which dropped today – popped up for a guest appearance. 

A source said: “Raye has performed on some of the biggest stages in the world but the event was so intimate, and some of the biggest names in showbiz were there. 

“She was telling pals it was bloody terrifying, but was also pleased how it went down.” 

One person won over was Hollywood great Meryl. She even went backstage to congratulate the singer. 

The source added: “Meryl told Raye she’s a big fan, which floored her. It was a lovely moment.” 

Bravo.

He announced last year he was temporarily stepping back, after getting sepsis. 

In a statement, the group, made up of Nicky Byrne, Shane Filan and Kian Egan, said: “We have so many exciting plans to share with you very soon, which will include new music, an album, special shows and many, many more surprises. 

“Sadly, Mark will be unable to join the celebrations. We hope he can join us back on stage when he is ready and able. He sends his love and positivity to you all as always.”

ZOE BALL is eyeing up a telly comeback – and it’s going to be a family affair.

I can reveal her presenter dad Johnny Ball has created a new factual series about his favourite subject, maths — and he’s called in the Radio 2 star and her DJ son Woody Cook, to front the show with him.

And Johnny is so keen to make the series work, he claims to have turned down an appearance on BBC One hit Celebrity Race Across The World alongside Zoe and Woody — where they would compete as a trio.

The new show will tell the story of “the history of maths” across three different generations and is based on the first six chapters of his book, Wonders Beyond Numbers.

Johnny is a much-loved face of British TV having hosted classic kids’ shows including Play School and Think Of A Number in the Seventies and Eighties and the new series will be a welcome return for him.

Johnny told me: “The material can be honed down to the essentials, so that anyone could present it in a light and transparent way.

“This is why I believe myself, Zoe and my grandson Woody could add all what each age group requires to make it a fascinating and revealing series.”

Zoe and Woody have appeared together on Celebrity Gogglebox, but this would be the first time three generations of Balls have teamed up on air.

Johnny admits having broadcasting fave Zoe on board is a “big pull” for TV bosses, who he now hopes he can convince to commission the series.

The trio will be a worthy addition to any channel.

SI BANGS THE DRUM FOR SON

He told This Morning: “If he said to me, ‘I want to be a singer’ and he couldn’t sing, I would be absolutely honest.

“I would say, ‘You know what, be a drummer’. He actually can play the drums well, but he’s quite shy.”

On his close relationship with his only child, Simon added: “Out of everything I’ve ever done in my life, [being a dad] is the best thing.

“It gives you a purpose. Everything is for them.

“I actually really, really enjoy his company. He’s a good kid.”

One case sees her investigate Levi Norman, a Welshman who lived on a remote island before he suddenly passed away.

Ruth said: “This book, people have talked a bit more about a screen adaptation.

“A lot of people and early readers have said to me, ‘Who would you get to play these characters like Linda?’.

“I’m in my fifties, and I’m a plus-size woman but admittedly I am not Scottish!”

US OPEN fans think Bryson DeChambeau should be harshly disqualified after a rules mix up.

Last year’s champion got off to a nightmare start at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania today.

On the 621-yard fourth hole, his second shot landed in a group spectators making their way across the course.

As the ball could have been interfered with, he was granted relief that allowed him to drop the ball within an area of the fairway that the referee deemed fair.

DeChambeau told his caddie to pick the ball up as he worked out where best to play from.

But in an unusual U-turn, the world No10 decided he was happy with where the ball originally landed.

Though the referee informed him that because he picked it up, he would now have to move it back up the fairway or get hit with a penalty.

DeChambeau found a place that was OK and asked: “This is probably closest right ma’am?”

But amid the confusion, he appeared to forget the rules by PLACING it on the floor instead of a drop.

The American, who had got himself into a real muddle, muttered “that was dumb” as the official intervened again.

DeChambeau’s error was not punished and he was allowed a second chance at dropping the ball correctly.

Some fans called for brutal action, with one saying: “Should be penalty strokes.”

Another wrote: “Penalty DQ now.”

A third commented: “He should be penalised others would have.”

But others disagreed, saying: “It’s obvious it wasn’t intentional.”

A second added: “The ball was not in play. He corrected the mistake, if he hit the placed ball different story.”

Sky Sports commentator Tony Johnstone reacted: “That’s a first. In 45 years as a pro I’ve never seen a professional take a free drop and PLACE the ball by mistake. How strange.”

Kaleb is also a well known farmer[/caption]

Speaking about any potential collaborations, Will told us: “I would never say never! You know, I do get on with Caleb. I think he’s an amazing, amazing guy who has done amazing things for the farming community.”

The star, who is working alongside WDW Bingo, continued: “At the moment there are no talks. Obviously, he’s got a show with Jeremy Clarkson, which is a huge, huge success, where I think a lot of his time is probably going but hey, in the future, maybe a podcast. Who knows!”

Will currently has his own podcast with girlfriend Jessie Wynter, who he met in the villa, called Agree to Disagree. 

Kaleb has just appeared in the fourth series of the Amazon show and has a huge fanbase which has led to a nationwide tour and his own book.

Will and Jessie have defied sceptics and have remained together despite her originally being from Australia.

She moved to Buckinghamshire to live with Will and regularly helps out on the family farm.

He previously told Country Living: “It’s wonderful to have someone to share this life with. She quickly adapted to the lifestyle because she grew up in rural Tasmania, which is even more remote. She was shocked we had neighbours.”

And he added that he would never give up farming for showbiz, saying: “By the end of the show, I couldn’t wait to return home to feed the animals. I left the sunny South African villa and jumped straight back into my muddy wellies.”

ASDA has left people baffled after shoppers spotted a Christmas favourite back on shelves – despite it being only June.

It may be just the start of the glorious summer season – but that hasn’t stopped Asda from already stocking festive treats.

FACEBOOK/EXTREME COUPONING AND BARGAINS UK GROUP

The overwhelming majority of Britons believe that even September is too early for Christmas-related items to be sold, a new poll revealed[/caption]

The major supermarket recently left customers gobsmacked after they started selling a Christmas staple six months before the big holiday.

The mega retailer has since come under fire, with confused shoppers branding the move ”ridiculous”.

One stunned customer, Chrissy Travers, from Newcastle upon Tyne, took to Facebook after she spotted mince pies back in stock.

The four-pack of the festive treat was going for a mere 15p, down from 31p, costing foodies less than 4p per mince pie.

However, despite the sweet deal, Asda customers were anything but impressed.

According to a 2024 study, the overwhelming majority of Britons believe that even September is too early for Christmas-related items to be sold, Ipsos reported.

The report revealed that 83% believe that September is too early for Christmas turkeys, 80% reckon it is too early for Christmas puddings, and 79% think it is too early for Christmas jumpers and festive decorations.

Three quarters of those who took part in the survey said it is too early for mulled wine (76%) and mince pies (75%).

Meanwhile, a staggering 64% believe it is too early for presents, but three in ten (30%) think September it’s the right time to begin buying them.

As we’re still months away from September – and the festive season – furious social media users slammed the mega supermarket.

Close to 70 people gave Chrissy’s post a like, as dozens of members of the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group flooded to comments to share their thoughts.

One Facebook user joked: ”I’ll get our Christmas tree out the loft.”

”I know every year they start putting Christmas stuff out earlier and earlier but that is ridiculous,” someone else chimed in.

A former employee said: ”Having worked in Asda bakery I can guarantee they were clearing out the freezer in backup & came across a box left over from Xmas.

”Manager told them to bake them & sell cos it’s better than wasting them off.”

”I’m confused,” another social media user was baffled.

And it turns out, Asda isn’t the only retailer getting ready for the holiday, as one person claimed: ”Yesterday I saw Christmas lights at B&M. I had to check the calendar to make sure I wasn’t crazy!”

MANCHESTER UNITED have made contact with Eintracht Frankfurt to register an interest in Hugo Ekitike, according to reports.

Liverpool and Chelsea are also thought to be interested in the 22-year-old striker, who has four years left on his deal.

According to Sky Germany, the Red Devils have “made contact” with the Bundesliga side.

It is understood United are exploring the conditions of a potential deal for Ekitike with Frankfurt demanding around £85m (€100m).

It won’t be an easy deal to get over the line with Chelsea also thought to be in the running to sign the French bagsman.

Ekitike, who scored 15 goals and registered eight assists in the league this season before helping Frankfurt secure Champions League football with a third place finish, won’t come cheap.

United have already splashed £62.5million on out-and-out No.9 Matheus Cunha, who was formally announced today.

But as they continue their rebuild under Ruben Amorim, United will likely dip their toe in the market for another goalscorer this summer following a horror campaign that featured just 44 goals in 38 Premier League games.

The news around United and Ekitike comes after it emerged that Arsenal made their first concrete bid for wantaway Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres.

A report from Portuguese publication Record claims the Gunners made an offer for the 27-year-old Swede at a meeting in Spain on Wednesday.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

United desperately need attacking reinforcements, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee having endured a poor campaign at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have been linked with a number of names, including Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko and Liam Delap, who has already joined Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Premier League champions Liverpool registered their interest in Ekitike in May, but the long-running saga over a move for Florian Wirtz means a move to Anfield is still on the table.

The Reds are making tweaks with rumours that Darwin Nunez could be swapping Merseyside for the Middle East this summer.

United must raise funds by selling players before sanctioning further incomings beyond Cunha.

Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia are among the first-team players in the shop window as Amorim hosts a summer clearout.

But no European commitments offers United the opportunity to trim the squad without necessarily requiring replacements, which should spark a ruthless approach to exits.

HOLLYOAKS actress Ali Bastian has opened up about the time she was cruelly mum-shamed by a fellow actress whilst at work.

The star, who played Becca Dean in the Channel 4 soap between 2001 and 2007, admitted a fellow mum made a thinly-veiled dig at her after she revealed she was still breastfeeding her child at 18 months old.

Ali, 43, who has been open about her recent cancer battle, took to Instagram to share her story in which she admitted she felt shamed for her choices with her child.

Speaking to the camera, the actress said: “I went on a job and it was the first time that I’d been away from Isla [her daughter].

“She was a really allergic baby – we’d had about seven blue light runs with her.

“It had been a real nightmare.

“I’d breast-fed her for about two and a half years but in the middle of that, I got a job for a couple of days of filming.

“I decided to do it and I got talking to a slightly older actress and I said, ‘it’s the first time away from my baby’.

“She asked how old was my baby and I think I said, ‘oh 18 months’, and she was like, ‘oh…’

“I said to her I’m still breastfeeding so I’m pumping and everything and she was like, ‘oh, you are not going to be one of those mums, are you?’.”

Reacting with a shocked look, Ali continued: “Me being me, I just froze and I didn’t say anything!”

Ali did not name the actress that she was referring too.

The popular star has had a difficult twleve months following her breast cancer battle.

was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer in June 2024, and underwent a mastectomy in January before getting the all clear two months later.

Now, the Strictly star – who has inspired fans with her candid and powerful updates about her treatment journey – has opened up about the next steps in her recovery and revealed she is still weighing up reconstruction surgery.

In a new interview with Giovanna Fletcher on the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, she explains how she is now turning her attention to removing a tumour the size of a “tennis ball” that developed after the birth of her daughter, Isla, five years ago.

Ali has two daughters Isla, five, and Isabella, two, with husband David O’Mahony.

She was diagnosed with cancer after discovering a lump she initially thought was a blocked milk duct while breastfeeding her youngest daughter.
