Fatboy Slim and Woody Cook played a secret set at Glastonbury

The duo had a good rave up on a small stage
Glasto regular Fatboy Slim, 61, and son Woody Cook, 24, went B2B in the blazing sunshine and revellers lapped it up.
Scene veteran Fatboy - real name Norman Cook - did his thing behind the decks as hype man Woody bounced around a platform.
The young Cook, who previously insisted he isn't a nepo baby, beamed as he waved his arms and leapt up and down.
Writing on Instagram, one fan wrote: "Well done lads x."
Another said: "The best duo."
A third shared: "Awesome!!! X."
Adding to the family vibes on Worthy Farm this weekend, Woody's mum Zoe Ball, 54, debuted her new man, and he looks very similar to ex-husband Norman.
The Radio 2 DJ was seen walking hand in hand with her new bloke in the hospitality area, a month after she hinted she'd met someone.
An onlooker said: 'Zoe is down at Glastonbury as a punter and has brought her new boyfriend along for the ride.
'They seemed blissfully happy and were strolling along holding hands.

'She was really smiling at him as they walked along and he was very protective of Zoe and put his hand across her back.
'People were doing double takes at her bloke though because he looks a lot like Fatboy. It's so great to see Zoe smiling again.'
Last month Zoe hinted she had met someone new amid rumours of a reconciliation with Fatboy.
During an interview with Roisin Conaty, Zoe mentioned 'my fella' as they were chatting between songs.
This is Zoe's first serious relationship since the end of her five-year relationship with Michael Reed in 2023.

Aimee Lou Wood puts on a cosy display with boyfriend Adam Long as they party together at Glastonbury after romance was revealed
Their romance was first revealed when they were pictured kissing last month. And Aimee Lou Wood 's new romance with boyfriend Adam Long is going from strength to strength, as they partied together at Glastonbury over the weekend. The White Lotus star, 31, joined the crowds to watch live music at Worthy Farm, opting for a casual olive green cap. Adam, 34 - who is best known for his role as convict Lewis Whippey in Happy Valley - was dressed in a blue gingham shirt. The pair - who are starring together in the upcoming BBC series Film Club - were first spotted sharing a kiss last month. Aimee has liked all of Adam's social media posts since their Film Club casting was announced last November. She was also quick to praise the star after he completed a sponsored run in aid of Movember and men's mental health awareness. On a snap of the actor and his running buddies, Aimee penned: 'YOU DID IT!!!!!!! ✨' It's believed the pair met last year working on their upcoming BBC Three series, written by Aimee, in which they play a couple. The pair play lovers in the series, which follows Evie (Aimee) who sets up a film club with her best friend Noa (Nabhaan Rizwaan). A BBC synopsis reads: 'It's Friday night. 7pm. Film Club Week 198. Evie hasn't left the house in six months after a 'wobble', and tonight, things are different. 'Noa's got big news. A dream job is taking him across the other side of the country, which means that all of this is ending. That reality is hitting. That they're going to be forced to consider for the first time they might be more than just friends. 'Neither of them are the best when it comes to emotions but this time those emotions might be impossible to ignore... 'As if life weren't challenging enough already, Evie is going to be navigating this amongst the eccentricity of her family home - living with her fiercely loving single mum Suz (Suranne Jones), sister Izzie (Liv Hill), and handsome boyfriend/sometime man of the house Josh (Adam). 'Film Club is a witty and emotional show about love and family, about whether we should follow our hearts or heads, and being in love with a friend.' Speaking about the series, Aimee - who created the show with Ralph Davies - said in a statement: 'I'm thrilled that our beloved TV series Film Club, a project that Ralph and I have been writing for the past decade, starts shooting this week. 'We couldn't be more excited, and grateful, to the incredible team we have assembled with the BBC. 'To bring this to life with Nabhaan and Suranne, two exceptional actors I have always admired, is a real honour.' The series was filmed in Manchester last year and is set for release on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three later this year. Adam, who also starred in Day Of The Jackal and Waterloo Road, has not spoken publicly about his love life. Aimee's last known relationship was with her Sex Education co-star Connor Swindells, who she split from in 2020 after two years together. Connor, 28, who stars in SAS Rogue Heroes, is now married to the Peaky Blinders star, Amber Anderson, 32, who he wed last year. Discussing the reason behind their split, Aimee noted that relationships don't have to consist of a 'goodie' and a 'baddie', but sometimes the combination of two personalities in a dynamic can result in 'unhealthy themes'. She said in an interview with Grazia: 'We'd had some time apart and then we realised that maybe the relationship wasn't serving us both,' before stating that she and Connor still love each other and respect each other. According to Aimee the breakup was amicable and wasn't dramatic. She compared the moment she became single to a dam bursting wide open. She added: 'When I'm in a relationship I find it hard to maintain my sense of self. I'm very independent but also quite impressionable.' MailOnline has contacted Amy and Adam's representatives for comment. In recent months, the star has catapulted to global fame, owing to her role in HBO hit, The White Lotus. However, the actress' personal life caused more headlines than the series itself, with Aimee hitting out at Saturday Night Live for their 'mean and unfunny' parody of the show that mocked her teeth; as well as being embroiled in claims of a 'feud' with her on-screen lover. The SNL sketch featured comedian Sarah Sherman, 32, parodying Aimee's character Chelsea while using fake teeth to mock her, which prompted in widespread outrage. The sketch poked fun at her Manchester U.K. accent and her teeth, with Sarah exclaiming: 'Fluoride? What's that?' In response, Aimee took aim at the 'cheap' joke, writing on Instagram: 'Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple weeks ago. Yes, take the p**s for sure - that's what the show is about- but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?' She also shared messages of support from her followers and sister Emily, admitting she'd received 'thousands' of messages backing her up. Aimee continued: 'Last thing I'll say on the matter. I am not thin skinned. I actually love being taken the p**s out of when it's clever and in good spirits. But the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth. 'I don't mind caricature - I understand that's what SNL is. But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/ Chelsea was the only one punched down On... Okay end of.' To conclude, she shared a comment from a fan that read: 'It was a sharp and funny skit until it suddenly took a screeching turn into 1970's misogyny', she added: 'This sums up my view'. Aimee's rumoured feud with her White Lotus co-star Walton Goggins has also had fans talking in recent months. The rumours hit an all-time high after they unfollowed each other on Instagram. But last week the onscreen lovers put the rumours to bed, tackling the reports head on in a joint interview with Variety. 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me,' Walton insisted. Aimee proceeded to address the outrage over headlines that Goggins unfollowed her on social media, which fans perceived as a sign they did not get along. 'I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally,' she said over the online fury. 'Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a s**t about Instagram.' She explained she wished more people were having 'conversations about the story' of their White Lotus characters, Rick and Chelsea, and simply enjoying the show. As well as her new role in Film Club, Aimee has been kept busy filming series two of her BBC sitcom Daddy Issues. This year will also see her star in crime-thriller film Sweet Dreams, which has been pitched as 'a British Fargo'. Adam's most recent TV role was in the ITV drama Protection, which saw him reunite with Happy Valley co-star Siobhan Finneran. His most famous role to date was in the BAFTA-winning Happy Valley, in which he played a convict who aided James Norton's Tommy Lee Royce in kidnapping the daughter of a wealthy businessman, for ransom.

Inside the BBC's Glastonbury debacle
Photo byThere are mumblings at the BBC about whether the director-general, Tim Davie, will survive the Glastonbury debacle. More than 400 BBC staff were reportedly attending – including Davie himself – yet none called for the livestream to be stopped when the rap duo Bob Vylan led the chant 'death, death to the IDF'. Insiders say staff 'panicked' when they heard the Vylan chant, having been told repeatedly that it was not the BBC's job to censor content. (Kneecap's set was not broadcast live but instead uploaded later to iPlayer.) Davie, who wasn't at Bob Vylan's set, ordered the performance should not be available on iPlayer – but it remained on the streaming platform for five hours. The mess follows BBC failings over Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone and the broadcaster's refusal to screen another film about medics in Gaza (which eventually aired instead on Channel 4). The Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, has referred to a 'problem of leadership', while an insider tells me: 'We're making enemies on all sides in this. It's a total mess. Tim Davie is far from decisive and yet is getting involved in editorial decisions, which then go to shit. We're forever trying to guess where the next crisis will emerge from. Why should hard-working junior staff carry the can for mistakes he is making?' Glastonbury bar worker 'Helen from Wales', who filmed Kneecap's set from her phone and livestreamed it on TikTok, is emblematic of the nightmare Davie faces. Almost a quarter of a million people (presumably many of them young folk the BBC craves) have watched the video. And it cost her nothing – apart from burned fingers from an overheating phone. 'When there's censorship coming from large media institutions such as the BBC, I think it's up to people like me to step in,' Helen said. Another satisfied BBC customer. Anger is bubbling at the Daily Mail over cuts to the business and finance desks just weeks after another redundancy process concluded. Much fury is directed at the salaries of three big beasts: Boris Johnson on a £1m-a-year deal for an 'embarrassing' weekly contribution; Nadine Dorries on a healthy whack for her latest Ozempic tale; and Richard Littlejohn, who, it is believed, is earning in excess of £600k for a column in which he often berates civil servants for working from home – written from his mansion in Florida. One insider said: 'Those three alone could pay the salaries of 30 reporters. It's disgusting.' Highly respected business editor Ruth Sunderland is said to be among those facing the chop. Apparently such content fails to drive traffic and is not suitable for hiding behind the Mail+ paywall, which has reportedly become bosses' 'absolute obsession'. GB News's Bev Turner will front the channel's first foray into the US. Turner, a right-wing Covid sceptic who has backed Russell Brand and raised concerns about climate crisis reporting, is off to Washington for a new nightly show. 'Sending Bev to the US is like sending coals to Newcastle,' a former colleague says. 'It's not like the States is short of people with batshit crazy ideas who can read an autocue.' Never a wallflower, Piers Morgan has been celebrating hitting four million subscribers for his YouTube show Uncensored. A source close to Morgan says: 'It's a work-in-progress. Piers has always been aiming for world domination – so just another 8.058 billion viewers to go…' Snout line: Got a story?
