Dua Lipa surprises fans with Jamiroquai frontman during London show
Amidst a flurry of dance routines, costume changes and confetti canons, the singer made her way through her latest album, Radical Optimism, on Friday night before bringing out the 90s funk band frontman.
Without missing her biggest hits, the British-Albanian songstress performed the likes of New Rules, Be The One and Barbie's Dance The Night to more than 70,000 people.
Transforming the stadium into her own dance floor, the pop star kicked off her concert with Training Season before pausing to say she was 'blown away,' adding that it was 'surreal' to be performing at Wembley.
Appearing a little emotional, she said: 'This is so surreal and so crazy.
'It means the absolute world to me that you are here tonight.
'It feels really really special to be here tonight.
'It is 10 years since our first ever London show to about 350 people and I just dreamt of a night like this where I get to be in front of 70,000 people.'
Later, she left the stage to take photographs with fans and asked if they were having a good night, but most were too excited to form full sentences.
After taking photos with the front row fans, Lipa returned to the stage to perform These Walls before introducing the song that 'started everything'.
She said: 'I want to take it back to the beginning a little bit. This song really kind of changed my life.
'This is the song that got me signed and it's the song that started everything and I feel like with weather like this, there is only one song that I could do. This is Hotter Than Hell.'
The singer again expressed how grateful she was to be performing at Wembley, before introducing someone who really 'inspired' her.
She said: 'Someone who has really been a trailblazer for British music and has really paved the way, I feel so lucky to share the stage with the one and only Jamiroquai!'
The frontman of the 90s funk band, Kay, emerged onto the stage, joining Lipa to sing the group's hit song Virtual Insanity.
Towards the end of the concert, Lipa returned to the hit songs that prompted her rise to fame, including 2016's Be The One, and her 2017 break-up anthem New Rules.
Lipa has several Brit Awards to her name, along with three Grammys and was one of the headline acts at Glastonbury Festival last year.
She was recently named the most played artist across radio, TV and public places in the UK for a second time by music licensing company Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) and is the youngest person to feature on this year's Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List, making her one of the wealthiest musicians in the UK.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOTLAND rugby star's home is up for sale - and fans have been given a unique glimpse into his life of luxury. Scrum-half Ali Price is leaving current club Edinburgh for Montpellier in France and is looking to sell up his four-bedroom Glasgow abode. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Inside the spectacular Glasgow residence with its unique basement bar Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 The house is set over 'four impressive levels' Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 The view from this bedroom is one to behold Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 The back garden isn't too shabby either Credit: VANILLA SQUARE The stunning property has three living rooms and three bathrooms and a giant basement bar with room for up to 50 people to party in. It also boasts a spacious back garden and the location itself is in one of Glasgow's most sought-after spots. The residence is in the Newlands area in the south side of the city, adjacent to the affluent Shawlands suburb. British & Irish Lions star Price, 32, took part in some filming with estate agency Vanilla Square and gave a tour of the house in doing so. He showed estate agent Steven Lawrence around his home, saying the property "had been brilliant". The home report valued the house at £750,000 and at the moment, it is listed on Vanilla Square's website for offers over £670,000. The caption for the video read: "Have a look around @ali_price93's phenomenal home in Newlands. "A family home as well as very cool party pad. "4 bedrooms, 3 living rooms, 3 bathrooms. "Check out the bar!" Andy Farrell wants end to social media 'nonsense' after son Owen's Lions call A description for the property on the website says: "Set over four impressive levels, this stunning and substantially extended semi-detached villa offers an unrivalled standard of family living in one of Glasgow's most sought-after neighbourhoods. "Beautifully finished throughout, it is, without doubt, one of the finest homes of its kind currently available. "From the moment you step into the grand entrance hallway - with a convenient WC and cloakroom - you are struck by the scale, style and attention to detail. "Elegant double doors open into a truly spectacular rear extension, which forms the heart of the home: a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Bathed in natural light from multiple Velux windows, expansive glazing and French doors to a Paris balcony, this area is as functional as it is stylish. "The kitchen has been designed with the chef in mind, boasting high-spec integrated appliances, a range cooker, central island, and extensive storage. "There's ample room for formal dining as well as a casual sitting area—perfect for modern family life and entertaining alike. "To the front, a refined formal lounge provides a more intimate space to relax, featuring a bespoke media wall and striking electric fireplace that adds warmth and character. "The lower level is a true showstopper - a fully equipped bar and large lounge space create a vibrant party zone that feels more like an exclusive venue than a private home. "With bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear garden, it's ideal for summer gatherings, family celebrations, or simply unwinding in style. A luxurious shower room and a well-appointed utility room complete this versatile floor. 9 The home report valued the property at £750,000 Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 It boasts a modern interior Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 More views of the garden Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 And how the house looks from the front "On the upper level, you'll find three generous double bedrooms.

Escape To The Chateau stars Dick and Angel's hidden estate area that didn't air
A stunning part of Escape To The Chateau stars Dick and Angel Strawbridge's sprawling estate never made the cut on the Channel 4 show There's one part of Dick and Angel's stunning Strawbridge estate that Channel 4 fans definitely would not have seen on the programme, Escape To The Chateau. Dick and Angel, along with their family became an instant hit with fans when the reality show first aired in 2016, when the British couple purchased a 19th century French chateau and relocated in hope of doing it up. If the show proved anything, it certainly highlighted that the married couple didn't do things by halves as they attempted to refurb their property, raise two small children and continue to run a wedding and event planning business. The show was a real hit and ran until 2022 after a whopping nine series of the programme. Following their TV success the Strawbridge's then went on to start up their very own hit podcast in 2023, called Dick & Angel's Although there have been many updates on their ever-changing home through the show and now via the podcast, there is still one part that remains to be seen. Over on Instagram the family-of-four caused waves recently when they shared a snap of what appeared to be a secret garden that fans had not been privy to. Dick, 65 could be seen alongside his two children, enjoying some time together, in a stunning vegetable garden in country esque surroundings. It appeared that Arthur, 13, and Dorothy, 11, were helping their father to collect some of their home grown produce that seemed as though it was ready for harvest. From the picture which showcased their stunning home in the background, it would seem the veg-patch has been closely situated to their property, despite its sprawling 12-acre grounds. The secret part appeared to be protected by tall trees and bricked walls matching their home, which may explain why this area had been off limits to fans, until now. Their plants appeared to be flourishing in the summer months, with green veg protruding through the earth in neat-and-tidy wooden planters, surrounded by lined walkways with stunning flowers. Although their chateau life appears picture perfect and tranquil, it's safe to say the family's life abroad has not always been as plain sailing as it seems. Back in March, it was announced that Channel 4 were launching a brand new spin off show, this time without Dick and Angel in the mix. Soon after the announcement, the married couple took to Instagram posting a house design picture and completely ignoring the update at all. They penned at the time: "A very good morning to you! We're busy…lots of changes and lots of activity at the Chateau! Any guesses? To keep up to date with what's happening in our world, sign up to our newsletter! Link in bio! Have a terrific Tuesday! Xxx." This year, Channel 4 confirmed they would be launching a new show called Chateau DIY: Win The Dream, with the production company joining forces with Spark media North. The programme sees 12 couples as they go head-to-head in hope of winning their own chateau in France. It follows on from Chateau DIY, which hit our screens in 2018 and follows the lives of families who are renovating homes in France.

Brit tried 'cheapest full English in Benidorm' and is left floored
A Brit who travelled to Benidorm was left 'amazed' by the full English breakfast he tried for less than £4 at a popular restaurant in the area A British bloke was left "amazed" after tucking into Benidorm's"cheapest" full English breakfast, costing less than £4. The Spanish town, nestled in Alicante province, is a beloved getaway for many Brits, and 32 year old Louis Grier has embraced it as his new abode. Louis, who has settled in the sun-drenched coastal resort, recently stumbled upon an irresistible deal for the quintessential full English brekkie priced at just £3.90. He keeps his 43.2K TikTok followers in the loop with regular updates about his Benidorm escapades, offering advice and insights to those pondering a holiday or a move to the area. In one of his latest TikTok clips, which has garnered over 58K views, Louis popped into Mariano's, a renowned eatery in Benidorm, eager to sample their version of the classic full English breakfast. At the start of the video, he addresses his audience, saying: "Today, I am going to Mariano's to see what the English breakfast is like there. "I've had the Spanish breakfast - it's not bad, it is a Spanish restaurant, after all - but I'm going to try the full English breakfast. "They've got an offer on for €4.50 (£3.90). Mariano's is great for many things but I've never really had breakfast here, so let's try it." Regrettably, the meal fell short of Louis's hopes. He displayed his plate to viewers, showing two slices of Spanish toast topped with two fried eggs, accompanied by a single sausage, two mushrooms, a tomato, one hash brown and two bacon rashers. After sampling the food, he admitted he "wasn't expecting much for €4.50" but declared the "breakfast was absolutely awful", describing it as among "the worst" he's "ever had" in Benidorm. He went on to explain: "I visited Mariano's, a renowned restaurant in Benidorm. "It is celebrated for its exceptional chicken, considered by many to be the finest in Spain, and is also highly regarded as the best take away in Benidorm. "Considering its popularity among both English and Spanish speakers, this establishment has consistently provided excellent food to British patrons for numerous years, and I have thoroughly enjoyed many wonderful takeaway meals. "However, I regret to say that the breakfast was quite unappetising, and I was unable to eat it – it was that bad." Providing further insight into why he found the breakfast so disappointing, he continued: "It tasted undercooked and of very low quality. "I would maybe go back but only for its famous chicken." Louis's footage attracted hundreds of responses, with viewers eager to share their own opinions. One viewer commented: "That's all I've tried there. It's terrible, so I've never been back. The place is a dump." Another individual remarked: "Looked ok for the price", and a third concurred, stating: "What was wrong with it, everything looked fine, that's not a fair review". A different commenter noted: "Mariano's has gone right down hill to what it used to be". Yet another person shared their experience: "I once had one from there, it was terrible", while another countered: "Still the best place for chicken. And their garlic bread is to die for!".
