Jockey Danny Mullins shows off new hairstyle that’s ‘wrong on so many levels’

DANNY MULLINS was turning heads at Listowel races – but not for anything he was doing in the saddle.

The top jumps rider and Tote ambassador instead got a load of stick for his new haircut, described as ‘wrong on so many levels’.

A photo of his new do was viewed well over a million times online.

Sadly, predictably, not everyone was a fan.

In a recent interview Mullins said people would tell him all the time his hair was ‘awful’.

That was back when it looked a great deal better than this.

One punter dubbed Mullins ‘A$AP Jockey’ while another said: “Give him a month’s ban for that. Oh my.”

Others thought he looked like Nineties Peter Andre while some were certain he must have lost a bet to look the way he did.

Sadly Mullins’ new do didn’t prove a lucky charm on the track.

He came a brave third in the Kerry National on 28-1 Lucid Dreams – but finished a mile back of runaway winner Flooring Porter.

Which post-Sir Alex Ferguson Man Utd manager has best European record as Erik ten Hag’s horror stats revealed

ERIK TEN HAG’S Manchester United have won just one of their last nine matches in Europe.

The Dutchman may have won two domestic cups since arriving at Old Trafford.

However, last season’s eighth-placed finish was the club’s worst in the Premier League era.

And he has struggled to make his mark on the continent, too.

On Wednesday, Ten Hag saw his Red Devils take the lead against former club FC Twente.

But goalscorer Christian Eriksen had his pocket picked before the Eredivisie outfit grabbed an equaliser.

From his 19 matches across the Champions League and Europa League since 2022-23, the Ten Hag has now collected nine wins, four draws and six defeats.

Of those nine wins, five came in the Europa League group stage in his first season – two against Sheriff Tiraspol and Omonia apiece with another three points against Real Sociedad.

United did beat Barcelona at home in the knockout play-off round then saw off Real Betis home and away but then fell to Sevilla.

In last season’s chaotic Champions League campaign, Ten Hag’s side managed one win against Copenhagen, a draw at Galatasaray and four defeats in Group A which also featured Bayern Munich.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

United finished bottom of the group to be knocked out of Europe.

This term, they began with that disappointing draw against Twente – to extend the miserable recent run ahead of facing Porto, Fenerbahce, PAOK, Bodo/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen, Rangers and Steaua Bucuresti in the new Europa League format.

Ten Hag fumed: “We kept them alive when 1-0 up controlling the game and then you have to be consistent and keep going in the second half, we dropped the level and gave a goal away.

“We didn’t finish it off, we had to go for the second goal and they stayed alive and we got punished with a mistake from ourselves. 

“It was the game of their life, they fought for every yard and we didn’t – 99 per cent is not enough, you have to give 100 per cent, you have to kill the game, finish it off, we are leading 1-0, but you have to go for the second goal, then you kill the game.

“Especially as we are very ambitious and when you have ambition you have to perform, prove the point and especially today in the second half we were too complacent, we didn’t bring it over the line and, as a team, you have to bring this.

“Today I have some criticism. It is not only the team that has to look in the mirror, I am part of it.”

Wednesday’s result bumped Ten Hag’s Manchester United win rate in European football below 50 per cent to 47 per cent.

But that record is not the worst of recent United bosses.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson, seven managers have led United in Europe.

Nine managers Man Utd considered before keeping Erik ten Hag

ERIK TEN HAG appears to be safe as Man Utd manager, but the Dutchman edged dangerously close to the sack.

Here are nine managers Red Devils chiefs are reported to have considered for the job and what allegedly happened with each.

Gareth Southgate

Enjoys plenty of support among Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos chiefs but made clear he wouldn’t talk to any clubs until after Euro 2024. There is yet to be any suggestion that contact was made with the England boss.

Kieran McKenna

Talks were opened with McKenna’s representatives before the FA Cup final, but the former Man Utd coach opted to sign a new deal with Ipswich after Ten Hag’s Wembley win.

Roberto De Zerbi

Allegedly sounded out before the FA Cup final with salary expectations discussed. But Ineos chiefs concluded ex-Brighton boss was not the right fit for the project.

Thomas Frank

Brentford boss met Man Utd representatives the day before the FA Cup final. The Dane also dined with Ratcliffe, Roy Hodgson and Frank Lampard at the launch of a new Ineos car in February.

Marco Silva

Fulham boss reportedly met Man Utd representatives face-to-face two days before the FA Cup final, around the same time as Ten Hag was conducting his press conference.

Mauricio Pochettino

Fell out of Man Utd’s thinking in the first week of June, despite being a favourite of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Thomas Tuchel

Made a very strong impression and came across well during a Monaco meeting. Personal terms were discussed before the ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss decided to step back from the process.

Ruben Amorim

Sporting boss was discussed by the Man Utd hierarchy but did not make the final reckoning.

Roberto Martinez

Portugal manager was considered in the early stages.

The two interim bosses top and tail the list with Ralf Rangnick’s win rate zero per cent with two draws and a defeat while Michael Carrick secured victory in his one match.

That was a 2-0 win at Villarreal in the Champions League with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho.

Ten Hag is only ahead of Louis van Gaal of the permanent bosses with the fellow Dutchman picking up three wins from his ten matches.

David Moyes managed victory in five of his ten games to return a 50 per cent win rate.

That is marginally behind Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on 54 per cent.

The Norwegian took charge of 35 European matches for United – more than anyone since Ferguson – and won 19, drew six and lost ten.

But of the permanent bosses, Jose Mourinho leads the way.

He secured 18 victories, five draws and six defeats from 29 games to rack up an impressive 62 per cent win rate.

The Special One even lifted the Europa League trophy in 2017, beating Ajax in Stockholm to secure United’s sixth European trophy in their history.

Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey can’t stop smiling with new boyfriend – as she finds love two years after star’s death

TOM Parker’s widow Kelsey looked blissfully in love with her new man as they held hands on a day out.

Earlier this week, we reported how the mum-of-two had found happiness in a fresh romance two years after The Wanted hitmaker’s tragic passing.

Popstar Tom died aged 33 following a battle with brain cancer.

Kelsey, 33, recently revealed she was “in a better place” mentally now – and believed her new man Will was “sent” to her by the all Time Low hitmaker.

She went Instagram official with the tree surgeon over the weekend.

Now The Sun’s exclusive images show the duo stepping out with huge smiles as they start their happy chapter together.

They were spotted filling up their car at a garage in Bexleyheath before picking up some tasty treats from the M&S Food.

Kelsey looked snug in an orange, pink and green knit cardigan paired with black trousers and a dark top.

She finished off her look with comfy loafers and a nude bag, leaving her blonde hair in a naturally straight style.

Kelsey also went make-up free, accessorising with huge gold hoop earrings.

She stared lovingly into Will’s eyes as they headed to their car.

The tree surgeon, donning a black top and blue skinny jeans, looked just as chipper as he took the lead.

Hunky Will has been a big part of Kelsey’s life over the past few months.

An insider said: “Will and Kelsey really hit if off earlier this year and he has been incredibly supportive of her.

“He helped her at a recent charity football match for Tom Parker and has attended other events with.

The most common symptoms of a brain tumour

More than 12,000 Brits are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour every year — of which around half are cancerous — with 5,300 losing their lives.

The disease is the most deadly cancer in children and adults aged under 40, according to the Brain Tumour Charity.

Brain tumours reduce life expectancies by an average of 27 years, with just 12 per cent of adults surviving five years after diagnosis.

There are two main types, with non-cancerous benign tumours growing more slowly and being less likely to return after treatment.

Cancerous malignant brain tumours can either start in the brain or spread there from elsewhere in the body and are more likely to return.

Brain tumours can cause headachesseizuresnausea, vomiting and memory problems, according to the NHS.

They can also lead to changes in personality weakness or paralysis on one side of the problem and problems with speech or vision.

The nine most common symptoms are:

  1. Headaches
  2. Seizures
  3. Feeling sick
  4. Being sick
  5. Memory problems
  6. Change in personality
  7. Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
  8. Vision problems
  9. Speech problems

If you are suffering any of these symptoms, particularly a headache that feels different from the ones you normally get, you should visit your GP.

“She hasn’t been shy about their romance and they pair looked very loved up at a gala last week.”

TOUGH CHOICE

Kelsey recently opened up on why she has removed her wedding ring.

She told how it felt “really painful” to look down and see the band given to her by her late husband – prompting her to make the heartbreaking decision.

Tom died in March 2022 two years after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour known as glioblastoma multiforme.

Kelsey has been bravely bringing up their two little girls Aurelia and Bodhi while grieving for her childhood sweetheart.

My missing bum hole is paying my mortgage – I used to be embarrassed talking about life with a stoma but now, who cares

A WOMAN has revealed that her missing bum hole is paying her mortgage. 

Holly April, 30, is a content creator who goes under the handle @stomababe on both Instagram and TikTok.

The influencer and mother, who describes herself as a “Colitis warrior, Charity Ambassador, Newspaper Journalist and Podcast host”, revealed that she used to be mortified talking about life with a stoma bag.

But now, not only is she raising awareness about it, but she’s cashing in too.

In a recent clip shared on social media, Holly, who previously opened up on her horrendous experience at a Taylor Swift concert, explained how making videos online and talking about her life with a stoma is enabling her to pay her mortgage.

She said: “I just saw a creator do this video saying about how a video had paid her mortgage this month.

“And I just wanna say that my missing bum hole is paying my mortgage, well, my portion of the mortgage this month, because last month, you all went crazy for my videos talking about my missing bum hole, and I made quite a bit of money off that.

“So, thank you to everybody for watching me talk about my missing bum hole and sharing and spreading awareness of that.

“It means a lot. So keep watching and keep learning and keep spreading the word, because some of us have no bum holes.”

In another video, Holly revealed the journey she has been on content creation, as she told her fans: “You never regret what you didn’t try.” 

Alongside a clip of her posing in a bikini, she shared: “I remember first filming my TikToks with my stoma bag, feeling embarrassed and wondering if people would laugh at me or be mean.

“That was two years ago now. Since then I can honestly say this community has changed my life for the better.

“Sharing the ups and downs for all to see. Connecting with people like me. Inspiring others to live their life authentically.”

Keep spreading the word, because some of us have no bum holes

Holly April

The TikTok clip has clearly impressed many, as it was shared just 14 hours ago, but Holly’s fans flocked to the comments to praise the influencer.

Many praised her ‘positivity’ and hailed her for using her platform to educate.

Your positivity is amazing

One person said: “You are brilliant, beautiful and funny. A great educator.” 

Another added: “If it pays, carry on! You got this.” 

A third commented: “Your positivity is amazing.” 

What are the red flag warning signs of bowel cancer?

IT'S the fourth most common cancer in the UK, the second deadliest - yet bowel cancer can be cured, if you catch it early enough.

While screening is one way of ensuring early diagnosis, there are things everyone can do to reduce their risk of the deadly disease.

Being aware of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, spotting any changes and checking with your GP can prove a life-saver.

If you notice any of the signs, don’t be embarrassed and don’t ignore them. Doctors are used to seeing lots of patients with bowel problems.

The five red-flag symptoms of bowel cancer include:

  • Bleeding from the back passage, or blood in your poo
  • A change in your normal toilet habits – going more frequently for example
  • Pain or a lump in your tummy
  • Extreme tiredness
  • Losing weight

Tumours in the bowel typically bleed, which can cause a shortage of red blood cells, known as anaemia. It can cause tiredness and sometimes breathlessness.

In some cases bowel cancer can block the bowel, this is known as a bowel obstruction.

Other signs include:

  • Gripping pains in the abdomen
  • Feeling bloated
  • Constipation and being unable to pass wind
  • Being sick
  • Feeling like you need to strain – like doing a number two – but after you’ve been to the loo

While these are all signs to watch out for, experts warn the most serious is noticing blood in your stools.

But, they warn it can prove tricky for doctors to diagnose the disease, because in most cases these symptoms will be a sign of a less serious disease.

Holly is currently campaigning to make emergency stoma kits available on the high street.

Why would you need a stoma bag?

A COLOSTOMY is an operation on the colon – a part of the bowel.

It diverts one end of the colon through an opening in the tummy, known as the stoma.

This means that the person can no longer pass poo.

The poo is instead collected in a stoma bag, which is placed over the opening.

Many people have to undergo a colostomy due to illness.

These can include:

A stoma may also be necessary due to genetic disorders, birth abnormalities, after trauma to the abdomen, and following radiotherapy.

Everyone can see the house – but only those with high IQ and 20/20 vision can figure out what is wrong in 23 seconds

A MIND-boggling optical illusion has left puzzle fanatics struggling to find the answer – but only those with a high IQ can see what’s wrong.

Everyone can spot the house in the image, but only eagle-eyed viewers with a high IQ and a keen sense of detail can solve the puzzle in 23 seconds.

Can you spot what’s wrong with this picture?[/caption]

The image shows a house at the forefront, with two windows, a chimney, a fence, trees and rolling hills in the background.

While the image looks deceptively simple, there’s something wrong with it.

Can you see what it is?

It might seem a bit daunting at first, but the key is to carefully examine each section of the scene.

Get ready to start scanning every inch of the picture, your 23 seconds start now.

Meanwhile, why not try some other optical illusions while you scroll?

Test your brain power and solve the questions in this test to reveal if you have a high IQ.

This picture will surely leave you baffled – and you might scratch your head trying to find the correct solution.

Picture puzzles are a form of brain teaser that tests the reader’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

These challenges have the potential to boost intelligence and improve concentration.

If you find this challenge too easy, or enjoy testing your brain, have a look at our other optical illusions.

To make things harder, try spotting the hidden cat in this optical illusion.

How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?

Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Some benefits include:

  • Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
  • Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
  • Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
  • Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
  • Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.

Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.

Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a great workout and may “boost your brain’s activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia.”

Still haven’t worked out what’s wrong with the picture?

Here’s a helpful hint: Look at the direction of the smoke from the chimney and the trees.

If you’ve worked out the puzzle in 23 seconds, well done!

If not, don’t worry. We’ve added the solution down below.

Keep your brain engaged and have a go at our three other illusions.

We’re threatened with fines for parking outside my OWN homes – it’s outrageous & we are being targeted by the council

RESIDENTS on an estate are at risk of being fined for parking on their own driveways, after a council painted double yellow lines right outside their homes.

Maciej Gawlik has lived on the same street in Southampton for eight years – and claims at least two of his neighbours have already been fined.

The lines were painted on Mansfield Park Street three years ago right in front of homes, making it a struggle to park – and residents say wardens are targeting the area, as a result.

They claim at times two wardens will be issuing tickets on the street in the same day.

Maciej, 43, said his neighbour was slapped with a fine because his tyre was brushing one of the lines.

He can’t fit his in the garage and its now too big for the drive, so like others, he is forced to risk the wrath of the wardens.

Maciej said despite it being a new development with lots of first time buyers and growing families, “no thought” has gone into providing driveways and garages big enough for family cars.

He told the Southern Daily Echo: “It’s outrageous – so many of the people here have had to downsize their cars just so that they can fit them on their driveway.

“We have families with five children and they are being squeezed into a tiny Ford Fiesta – all because the council think they can come and make a bit of fast cash.”

Locals say they’ve been served £30 parking charges, which increase to £70 if not paid within two weeks.

Fellow resident, Kelly Taylor, 34, told the newspaper because there’s no space for visitors, one person is not able to come see his mum who has cancer.

Natasha Harding, 37, said she approached the council about buying an area of “wasted” green space next to her flat to turn into parking, but was “instantly shut down”.

Councillor Eamonn Keogh, cabinet member for environment and transport on Southampton City Council said: “Double yellow lines are used to enable the free flow of vehicles, especially emergency vehicles and service vehicles, in any particular area.

“Residents can request a review of the parking restrictions in their area through the form on our website. 

“Drivers who receive a Penalty Charge Notice are entitled to submit an appeal on our website.”

The council did not wish to comment further when contacted by The Sun.
