Maya Jama, Ant McPartlin and Leigh-Anne Pinnock spotted at Wimbledon as they rub shoulders with Mo Farah and Mary Earps
LOVE Island's Maya Jama led the famous faces rubbing shoulders with sporting legends Mo Farah and Mary Earps at Wimbledon today. A-list stars - including model Cara Delevingne, TV presenter Ant McPartlin and Little Mix 's Leigh-Anne Pinnock, turned out for the ladies' singles final as Iga Swiatek goes up against Amanda Anisimova to become a new champion. 8 8 8 8 8 Singers Sir Cliff Richard, Katherine Jenkins and Pixie Lott were also seen arriving for the two-week tournament's penultimate day. Our exclusive footage shows the famous faces arriving at SW19 as temperatures reach 30 degrees. Former England goalkeeper Mary, who earned 53 caps in eight years before retiring from international football in May 2025, was a guest in the evian suite. Tomorrow will see Carlos Alcaraz defend his crown, and look for a third successive title, as he takes on Jannik Sinner in the men's singles final. Yesterday, boxer Conor Benn was dressed to impress at Wimbledon as ahead of his eagerly awaited rematch with rival Chris Eubank Jr. Proud Brit Benn arrived at SW19 in his luxury Rolls Royce, decked out in bespoke Burberry garms, complete with Jacquesmus strides, a Tom Ford belt with Gucci loafers and Cartier sunglasses, all uniquely styled by Flannels. The Essex-based fighter took a well earned break to take in the men's semi-finals at SW19 first, before he heads Stateside to New York to watch this Saturday's Ring Magazine event at the home of the US Open, Flushing Meadows, where Matchroom Boxing stablemate Shakur Stevenson battles William Zepeda. The 28-year-old has a date for retribution against Eubank Jr set for September 20 in London as he seeks revenge following their closely contested classic back in April at a sold-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Benn is then expected to ramp up his training plans back in the UK as he counts down to facing Eubank Jr again - and he has promised boxing fans to expect another legendary encounter in the capital. 'It was great to be watching some modern day tennis legends in Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic today at Wimbledon,' the boxer told us. Fans convinced Leonardo DiCaprio was 'flirting' with two former Wimbledon stars at Centre Court 'I feel like I've enjoyed a brilliant, much-needed, break with my family. But I'm counting down the days until September 20. "And I cannot wait to show the world what I'm about to do in the rematch. I can promise you it will be advantage Team Benn!' 8 8 8

I was shocked after trying M&S' game-changing microwave poached eggs – they are 10/10 perfect and ideal for lazy cooks
MANY people love preparing poached eggs for breakfast - but they can be a faff to get perfect. However, one shopper pointed out that M&S is now selling pre-packaged poached eggs, and all you need to do is stick them in the microwave for less than one minute. 3 3 Liv, who posts under @lifeoflivsx, uploaded a video trying out the product to see if it was all it is cracked up to be. She shared: 'So Marks and Spencers have made a big statement that they sell the perfect pre-made poached egg. 'So not gonna lie, as an egg obsessed girly, I had to give it a go.' She said she picked them up from near to the breakfast pots and fruit in her local shop - and was ready to give them a go. According to the M&S website, they contain 7g of protein and are "ideal for breakfast in a rush." Holding up the packet, which had two white eggs that appeared already poached, she said: 'I can't say I'm enticed by how they look, but all you need to do is apparently put them in the microwave for 40 seconds and then they are perfect.' Liv said she picked the two eggs up for £2.60 and said she is aware that she could make them for herself normally but wanted to try them out. After sticking them in the microwave for less than a minute, she was left with yolky, runny eggs, which looked incredible. She added: 'I'm pretty impressed. Oh my god look. Now I probably wouldn't buy these again because it would be a very lazy, expensive habit to do, but 10 out of 10 Marks and Spencers, well done.' Many people were left scratching their heads at the new product - and the cost. I tried the new picnic range from M&S - the £3.50 dip everyone needs to try One said: 'Who can't make a poached egg.' A second wrote: '2.60 for two eggs!' However, some foodies seemed very keen to try the poached eggs for themselves. 3 One said: 'Would I buy Another pointed out: 'This is so handy for people who struggle to lift pans etc.' A third commented: 'For everyday? no. for like i want to feel fancy this sunday? yes!' HERE'S how to poach an egg in the microwave, according to the experts at Kitchn. All you need is an egg, a mug, half a teaspoon of vinegar and a third to a half a cup of water. Put the water and vinegar in the mug. Crack the egg into the water – making sure the egg is submerged. Cover the mug with a small plate or saucer. Place in the microwave and cook on medium high power for 60 seconds. Carefully remove the plate and check the egg. If it is not done blast it again for 20 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, drain the water out of the mug and then place the egg on your plate, and enjoy.
