Sabrina Carpenter 'flies in medical medical team' during BST Hyde Park
Sabrina Carpenter appears to have thought of everything when it comes to her BST Hyde Park performances, with the US singer flying in her own private medical team and an ambulance for the weekend.
The star, 26, came prepared with the team to ensure she was in tip-top shape for the energy-sapping shows on Saturday and Sunday night, and even had her own ambulance as backstage was locked down.
Security was also 'unprecedented' backstage, say insiders, and 'unlike anything they've ever seen before", for the over 65,000 strong crowd.
The show went down a storm with Sabrina saying she has been constantly checking the weather app as she was worried about British weather.
'The first thing I did was look at the weather app because you guys are shady here,' said the Pennsylvania-born singer, who followed on from Noah Kahan's performance on Friday night, which featured a special appearance from Lewis Capaldi.
And as the crowd sang along to a string of hits from her recent single releases, Sabrina couldn't help but swoon over the crystal clear vocals. 'Hearing you sing in these accents is just ….', she laughed.

Rounding off the show with what's arguably the hit that catapulted her to household name-status, Sabrina belted out Espresso with the help of the lively crowd.
Sharing pictures from Saturday night in London to Instagram, Sabrina - who wore an embellished red romper with her name emblazoned on the front at one point in the show - wrote: "NIGHT 1 HYDE PARK magical and unbelievable. 65,000 of your beautiful faces and we get the privilege of doing it all again tonight!! See you soon i love you".
Sabrina is set to release her seventh studio album, titled Man's Best Friend, in late August, following the monumental success of her previous 2024 effort, Short 'n' Sweet.
Talking of the new release online, Sabrina wrote to Instagram recently: "I wrote Manchild on a random Tuesday with Amy and Jack not too long after finishing Short n' Sweet and it ended up being the best random Tuesday of my life.
"Not only was it so fun to write, but this song became something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life. It sounds like the song's embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never-ending road trip in the summer."
She concluded, "Hence why I wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long! thank you always and forever for listening and thank you men for testing me!"

Coronation Street icon makes shock return to soap set almost a YEAR after disappearing
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CORONATION Street favourite has made a shock return to the cobbles - nearly a year after leaving the soap. Lucy Fallon - who plays Bethany Platt - was spotted back on set this week, sparking rumours of an explosive new storyline and leaving viewers thrilled at the surprise comeback. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 In February, Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) packed her bags, ditching Daniel and heading back to London for a fresh start Credit: ITV 5 The real-life, the actress went on maternity leave to give birth to her daughter Nancy Credit: Instagram The actress, 27, is back from maternity leave after leaving in February to give birth to her second child – her daughter Nancy Margaret. The mum-of-two took to Instagram to reveal that she's back on the Corrie set as she posed for a photo in her dressing room. Lucy wrote: "And just like that she's back." A Coronation Street spokesperson confirmed that "Lucy will be returning to filming in the summer after maternity leave, as always planned and that Bethany will be back on screen in October." However, there were rumours that Lucy had quit the ITV soap for good - amid the shock cast cull. It was revealed that the star had signed with the talent agency Off Limits - leaving fans fearing she won't be returning to Corrie. And viewers had seen the likes of Craig Tinker, Eileen Grimshaw, Mason Radcliffe and Yasmeen Nazir all given the boot within weeks of each other. Lucy's latest social media post confirmed she will be returning to the cobbles... but for how long? Before her dramatic exit earlier this year, Bethany returned to the Street on New Year's Eve 2023 - and wasted no time diving headfirst into chaos. She quickly rekindled things with ex Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), but happiness was short-lived. Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon pregnant with her second child as she shares news with footballer boyfriend and son Bethany came face-to-face with vile abuser Nathan Curtis (Christopher Parker) following his prison release, and later underwent botched cosmetic surgery in Turkey. The risky op left her battling sepsis and needing a permanent stoma bag. Then, just as things seemed to be looking up, Daniel popped the question on Christmas Day - and Bethany said yes, unaware that his ex Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) had just discovered she was pregnant… and Daniel might be the dad after a one-night stand. The truth didn't stay buried for long - and with emotions running high, Bethany packed her bags once again, ditching Daniel and heading back to London for a fresh start. Bethany Platt's biggest Corrie storylines Bethany is the daughter of Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) and her classmate Neil Fearns (Paul Holowaty). Sarah fell pregnant at the age of just 12-years-old, much to the horror of her family. When she was a child, Bethany's was involved in a major storyline when she took ecstasy tablets. This was when her uncle, David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd), hid them in her doll. The character departed the soap in 2007 with her mum for a new life in Milan. Her return storyline saw the teenager run away back to Weatherfield with a new actress as Lucy Fallon took over the role. Storylines since then have included major school bullying. Her teachers said she was skipping school as she told them that she was attending grief counselling. Sarah and David soon realised that Bethany intercepted letters and emails from the school. She was being tormented by a group of girls, which included her mainbully Lauren (Shannon Flynn). Gary notices the bullying and reports it to the school. Due to several incidents, Lauren makes out that Bethany is the bully and they are both suspended. During this time, Bethany helps David out at the salon and Lauren comes in for a treatment. David then threatened her to leave his family alone. This was before she was expelled from the school after other girls came forward about the torment. Bethany was later at the centre of one of Corrie's darkest storylines when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator Nathan Curtis. The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her. The storyline was based on a real life story and also drew inspiration from the child sex abuse ring in Rochdale, which saw nine men jailed in 2012. But what brings Bethany back to Weatherfield? And with Daisy now gone... will she pick up where she left off with Daniel? Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX. 5 Bethany underwent botched cosmetic surgery in Turkey, leaving her needing a permanent stoma bag Credit: ITV 5 She accepted Daniel's proposal unaware that his ex Daisy had just discovered she was pregnant Credit: ITV

Gregg Wallace accuses BBC of 'clickbait' as he breaks silence
Gregg Wallace accuses BBC of 'clickbait' as he breaks silence Gregg Wallace has hit out with a blistering statement Gregg Wallace (Image: YouTube/ ) Gregg Wallace has said he can no longer "sit in silence" after being replaced by the BBC. The Beeb said in November that the former MasterChef host would "step away" from presenting the show while "allegations of historical misconduct are investigated". Producers later confirmed Grace Dent would replace him for the show's Christmas specials. In a new Instagram post on Tuesday, July 8, Gregg said he has "taken the decision to speak out ahead of the publication of the Silkins report", adding it is "a decision I do not take lightly." He continued: "But after 21 years of loyal service to the BBC, I cannot sit in silence while my reputation is further damaged to protect others. I have now been cleared by the Silkins report of the most serious and sensational accusations made against me. "The most damaging claims (including allegations from public figures which have not been upheld) were found to be baseless after a full and forensic six-month investigation. My decision to go public now is also driven by the fact the BBC News division are intending to platform legally unsafe accusations, including claims which have already been investigated and not upheld by the BBC and found not credible by Silkins. "The BBC is no longer providing balanced and impartial public service journalism. It is peddling baseless and sensationalised gossip masquerading as properly corroborated stories. The BBC is choosing to allow BBC News to run with this uncorroborated tittle tattle in an attempt to 'get ahead' of the Silkin's summary report and derail what has been an extremely thorough process. Content cannot be displayed without consent Article continues below "This feels to me like BBC News is chasing slanderous click-bait rather than delivering impartial journalism. To be clear, the Silkin's Report exonerates me of all the serious allegations which made headlines last year and finds me primarily guilty of inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018. "I recognise that some of my humour and language, at times, was inappropriate. For that, I apologise without reservation. But I was never the caricature now being sold for clicks. "I was hired by the BBC and MasterChef as the cheeky greengrocer. A real person with warmth, character, rough edges and all. For over two decades, that authenticity was part of the brand. Now, in a sanitised world, that same personality is seen as a problem. Article continues below "My neurodiversity, now formally diagnosed as autism, was suspected and discussed by colleagues across countless seasons of MasterChef. Yet nothing was done to investigate my disability or protect me from what I now realise was a dangerous environment for over twenty years. That failure is now being quietly buried. "Unfortunately, the full report (over 200 pages) will never be seen. Later this week, the BBC will publish a short Executive Summary. What really concerns me about the short summary is others who have been found guilty of serious allegations have been erased from the published version of events. I, and I'm sure the public, would like to know why? "I will not go quietly. I will not be cancelled for convenience. I was tried by media and hung out to dry well before the facts were established. The full story of this incredible injustice must be told and it is very much a matter of public interest."
