'We saw McFly in concert and something wild happened on way home'
A fan of McFly was left stunned by what she witnessed after their performance, prompting her to share footage of Tom, Danny and Dougie from her car
After watching McFly perform in concert earlier this week (June 22), some fans of the pop band were left in amazement by what happened after the show. The four-piece, which consists of Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd, performed in Southampton, where they took to the stage at the city's Guildhall Square.
There, the sold out crowd enjoyed 20 years of hits – including All About You and Obviously as part of Southampton Summer Sessions celebrations. It precedes McFly embarking on a large tour of the UK and Ireland later this year. After leaving the event, fan Charlotte Samina admitted she was stunned to see three of the group's members during her journey home.
Samina took to TikTok, where she penned in a caption alongside her video: "Driving home from a McFly gig only to be overtaken by McFly on their motorbikes."
The clip showed Tom, Danny and Dougie overtaking Samina on the Hampshire dual carriageway, prompting one TikTok user to declare: "Please say you opened the windows and said hello, thanks for a sick gig."
Samina confessed: "I debated it but when I put the window down their motorbikes were LOUD so they'd never have heard us!"
A second person praised: "Amazing! I drove this road home back and know it well! Can't believe you saw them!"
A third gushed: "This is iconic." Whilst a fourth quipped: "The thought of Tom on a motorbike just doesn't sit quite right."
Earlier that day, meanwhile, Tom hailed the "best weekend ever" as he shared several snaps to Facebook of the band enjoying their lunch beside their bikes. "Best weekend ever. Motorbikes & McFly," he penned in a caption.
One fellow biker replied: "As an avid fan of extreme metal for countless years, I never thought I would comment on a McFly related page but here I am! Great bikes, Bobber wins (just). Luckily, I have both!"
Another fan wrote: "Saw you at Westonbirt on Saturday. Your energy was off the scale and you were just what I was hoping for and more.
"Amazing, loved it, thank you all. We were up on the disabled viewing platform with my daughter. She didn't stop beaming the whole time."
A third individual shared: "My hubby is off to Bruges and Luxembourg on their motorbikes with his mates this weekend. Lads and bikes… gotta be done."
A fourth suggested to the lads: "Next stop needs to be ABR Festival. The biggest motorbike festival in the UK."
And a fifth Facebook user praised 39-year old Tom's photos: "Looks amazing! Everyone having so much fun! You guys know how to put on a brilliant show and have a fantastic time doing it! Awesome!"

Woman slams ASOS for 'unfair' policy, says she's being ‘punished' for her size
A plus-size, tall shopper says being banned by ASOS for too many returns has highlighted how unfair fashion can be for those whose bodies don't fit standard sizing. She's now calling for retailers to do better Tskenya-Sarah is a Black, plus-size, tall woman who has been shopping with ASOS for over a decade. Now, she's been handed a lifetime ban from the online clothing platform because she returned too many items. 'I woke up this morning to find out that I have been banned from ASOS for life because I breached their fair use policy as I returned too many items,' says Tskenya-Sarah, a loyal, or rather now former, ASOS customer. Tskenya-Sarah, who goes by @tskenyasarah on TikTok, shared her experience in a video that has resonated with many. She explained why ASOS's 'fair use' policy feels like a 'punishment' for bodies outside eurocentric beauty ideals and condemned the policy for not being 'inclusive.' READ MORE: When Tesco F&F's 25% off summer sale starts and what to buy according to a fashion expert In her video, Tskenya-Sarah said, 'I'm a UK size 18, I'm tall (5ft 9) with a 32-inch inside leg. " This means I can't just pop out to the high street and find clothing that fits. Like many tall, plus-size, or petite people, I have to shop online to find clothing. For many, the ease of online shopping means quickly ordering what you want and returning what doesn't fit. But for Tskenya-Sarah and countless others who don't fit into the Eurocentric beauty standards, it's more complicated. The inconsistency of sizing across brands means they often have to order multiple sizes and lengths just to get one item that fits, even if they are using the sizing guide on ASOS or if they've ordered from the brand before. In one baffling example, Tskenya-Sarah shared how she's previously ordered a dress and found the size 16 is 'much too loose', but the size 18 is 'much too tight.' Despite this, she says she's been a loyal ASOS customer for over 10 years, and this didn't change despite the retailer introducing a policy last year charging customers nearly £4 for returns unless they kept at least £15 worth of clothing or accessories. Tskenya-Sarah said that although she felt the policy wasn't 'right' or 'inclusive,' she kept shopping with the retailer. She added, 'I accepted it because the fashion industry is so exclusive. It felt like a tax we had to pay…' Unfortunately, this 'tax' wasn't the end of it. Three days ago, ASOS banned Tskenya-Sarah's account altogether for 'breaching their fair use policy' due to the number of returns she made. Tskenya-Sarah said: 'To punish individuals for returning clothing is egregious.' Tskenya-Sarah has experienced ordering jeans from ASOS's tall section that still don't fit properly, or a mini dress that ended up looking more like a hat on her tall frame. One of Tskenya-Sarah's followers commented that they experienced something similar with ASOS and took them to court, and after a period of 14 months, they were awarded half the amount owed to them. They claimed: 'This happened to me last year, they also refused to refund me two orders that I returned to them, totalling over £400. I fought and took them to court. I only received half of the money back, even with proof of postage and online tracking to show they received it, I've never been able to shop since.' Another customer wrote: 'OMGOSH same! I got banned/blocked my account. I'm plus size, I have to order multiple sizes. They refused to refund me £500. No access to customer service without an account. The Head Office wouldn't help directly with customer complaints. Thankfully, PayPal stepped in and refunded.' Whilst many would argue that returns aren't sustainable and Tskenya-Sarah addresses this and agrees with this in her video. She encourages the fashion industry to take sizing more seriously so customers don't end up being the victim of charges and penalties simply because they are trying to find something that fits. She added, 'We need a fashion industry that takes sizing seriously. If a website says the jeans have a 29-inch or 34-inch inside leg, then that's what should arrive at your door.' Tskenya-Sarah's story highlights a deeper problem with online fashion retail: many companies haven't fully considered the impact their policies have on marginalised customers. 'I'm going to be writing to ASOS's Diversity and Inclusion team as well as Customer Experience,' she said. 'Not just to challenge the ban on my account, but to ask them to think about the disproportionate impact this policy has on people who live in tall, petite, or plus-size bodies.' Tskenya-Sarah highlighted the reality of many women, and men too, who have to order multiple sizes only to return them. She said, 'For many of us, finding clothes that fit isn't easy.' While many brands have embraced plus-size clothing, it seems there are still 'taxes' being passed on to those who don't conform to the standard body size. While stores on the high street are disappearing, they often don't carry plus-size clothing, which leads many customers to turn to the online shopping space. Tskenya-Sarah says she hasn't been able to reach anyone at ASOS for a refund or to discuss her concerns or her lifetime ban. Speaking to the Mirror Online, she said: 'I really want to express that this is bigger than just my diversity. This is about the people who are disabled or living in areas where the high street is in decline. And it seems that ASOS are not the only retailer doing this! Something definitely has to change.'

Eye-popping music videos today's kids will never understand
Music videos used to stop time. They were culture defining, career-making moments. Iconic music videos would dominate conversations in the school playgrounds, whether it was rehearsing PSY's Gangnam Style with your friends or pinning your curls with Diet Coke cans like Lady Gaga. Nowadays they drop at midnight, trend on TikTok for 24 hours, then vanish into the depths of the algorithm. So here are seven iconic music videos that kids today just wouldn't understand… You either rehearsed this iconic dance, or you weren't trying hard enough. This wasn't just a music video, it was a movement – anything Beyoncé touched became a worldwide phenomenon. TikTok trends wish they could relate to the viral choreography that turned bedrooms into dance floors. Kids today will never understand how a black-and-white leotard and a glove could shape the music industry. Gen Alpha will never experience the nine minutes of pure cinematic chaos that is the Telephone music video. This mini movie will go down in history for its plot, fashion, and dare I say is one of the best collaborations of the 2010s. This was not just a casual YouTube video drop, this was a premiere. The short-film ended with the iconic duo racing through the desert as the screen reads 'To be continued…' Update: we are still waiting girls! In true Britney fashion, this video went viral before viral was a thing. The sweat. The snake. The stage. This video was pure pop rebellion, but Miss Spears did not stop at the video and continued to rebel through her infamous 2001 VMAs performance. Slave 4 U was the epitome of how raw and unfiltered celebrities were in noughties music videos. Kids these days will never grasp the pre-Instagram video sensations – it made headlines not hashtags. Yes it became a meme, but Wrecking Ball was a huge turning point for Miley Cyrus' image. She quite literally smashed her Disney image in real time by swinging naked on a wrecking ball. The bleach blonde buzz, the nudity, the award-show performances – this music video was responsible for putting Hannah Montana 6-feet under and introducing the world to the new version of Miley. Kids today might have a giggle watching this back, but anyone who was there knows the cultural earthquake that this video caused. Katy Perry's California Gurls wasn't just a music video, it was a combination of a pure sugar rush mixed with the ultimate pop princess anthem. From laying naked, kicking her feet on a cloud to spraying whipped cream out of her iconic sparkly red bikini, kids today will never understand having this video on repeat at girly sleepovers. As if California Gurls wasn't legendary enough, Snoop Dogg also featured in it sporting a candy-covered suit. It wasn't just a song; it was a full-on mood. A sugary escapism that defined early 2010s pop and made everyone want to be a sun-kissed California girl. The Baby music video highlighted the true duality of Justin Bieber, with it being the most disliked and viewed YouTube video at the time of its release. Set in a bowling alley turned nightclub, with Ludacris rapping about his first love, it wasn't just a video, it was a global teen takeover. Justin's swept fringe and purple get-up caused teenage girls around the world to come down with Bieber fever. Baby was a cultural paradox that only the 2010s could birth…Gen Alpha could never. Only Justin Timberlake would entice everyone into MTV by releasing the ultimate early-2000s breakup anthem with the most dramatic, moody, cinematic music video to exist. More Trending The infamous video took place in a rain-soaked mansion, with an obvious Britney Spears lookalike making an appearance. We all aspire to be Justin's level of petty. Justin managed to turn his personal pain into pop gold, and everyone went crazy for it. You really had to be there. Music videos weren't just background visuals, they defined 2010s pop culture.

People left horrified as mum shares eye-watering amount she spent at Disneyland
A mother has shocked the internet by revealing how much money she spent on a trip to Disneyland. In a video posted on TikTok, Ashley Bradford (@ashleyb_ox), shares exactly what she bought with €270/£229 at Disneyland Paris. The mother first spent money on a Little Mermaid -themed bubble wand, which she explained cost €30/£25.64. Next, she spent €19/£16.24 on face painting for her daughter before buying two Disney-themed macaroons for €5/£4.27. One of the pricier items on her spending list were two burger meals and a kids meal for €49.50/£42.30. She then buys three lollies for €12/£10.26, with a Lilo & Stitch and Minnie Mouse theme, before getting another three lollies for the same price. The family purchased lots of sweet treats throughout the day, including a sweet stick €6.50/£5.56, a Mickey Mouse cookie for €3.50/£2.99, popcorn for €6.50/£5.56, candyfloss for €6/£5.13, a Mickey Mouse donut for €6.50/£5.56 and two crepes for €15/£12.82. When it comes to savoury food, Ashley and family also purchased three hot dogs, one fries, chicken nuggets and three drinks for €60/£51.28, on top of their earlier burger meals. The last buys on the family's spending list were an Ariel-themed key ring for €8.50/£7.26 and a light-up Mickey Mouse toy for €25/£21.37. But while Ashley and her family might have enjoyed their trip to Disneyland, people were pretty horrified by their high spending costs. 'Francescondon79' says: 'Why would anyone throw away their money like that'. 'Heather Simms' adds: 'The bubble wand at 30 euros had me almost choking on my own down Disney.' Another person says: 'I don't understand, this is a place for kids and they sell the things so expensive!' However, many TikTokers weren't surprised by how much the family had spent. One person says: 'I just got back from there. Spent £2,100 spending money in five days there, I have five kids. Soon adds up.' And 'Tiffany Ashworth' says: 'Is it just me that doesn't think this place is expensive?' But Ashley replied to the comment saying: 'If you think though park tickets on top of that at €200/£170 plus a day for a small family. If you've a few kids, it soon would add up.' It comes as a father who took his family of five on a day-trip to Orlando's Walt Disney World resort revealed the unexpectedly high cost of their outing. The man, from Florida, US, took to social media to break down the family's outgoings throughout the day, which later sparked a heated debate among viewers about the importance of budgeting. In a video, reposted by @financedystop on X, the father documented the price of the family's tickets, parking, meals and snacks, as well as the staggering cost of items in souvenir shops. Before the family even entered the park, the father revealed he forked out $30/£22 for all-day parking.
