Scottish Sun3 days ago

She wrote on social media platform X: "5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ~ ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!"
Dua, 29, looked incredible as ever in a white bandeau top and was surrounded by pals and fiancé Callum Turner.
The singer's Radical Optimism tour saw her play two nights at Wembley, two at Liverpool's Anfield, and one night at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
Split into four acts and an encore, Dua's career-spanning set went down a storm with fans and critics alike, featuring hits Be The One, IDGAF, Houdini and Levitating.
Such is her pulling power that Charli XCX made a guest turn at one Wembley show, performing 360 and sending the crowd wild as the pair's vocals gelled perfectly.
A-list actor Callum also partied with Dua after her landmark London shows.
The 35-year-old, who popped the question in December after a year of dating, gently squeezed her bum in snaps from the boozy after party.
Dua shared the pictures on her Instagram page with the caption: "Somehow managed to keep on dancing... adrenaline is one hell of a drug."
She fulfilled a lifelong dream when she played to 70,000 adoring fans at Wembley last weekend, a decade after performing in the city for the first time to just 350 people.

With that in mind she marked the occasion with an exclusive after party at White City House in West London.
Behind the scenes snaps showed her beaming from ear to ear as she posed with friends in a skimpy see-through sheer black dress.
There were also personalised menus with a range of signature cocktails from the exclusive Soho House private members' club.

During her show, she exclaimed: 'Wembley, thank you. It is something I've dreamt of my whole life, and all day I have been feeling so much love and gratitude to be here with you guys.
'It is just surreal. It feels like such a journey, but also like everything has happened so quickly.
"I want to thank you for believing in me and trusting me, dancing with me, singing with me — and allowing me to wake up every single morning to do what I love to do. Looking out and seeing all you guys means the absolute world to me."
As she dazzled concertgoers in a white Valentino sheer lace catsuit, she added: "It has been ten years since our first London show and I just dreamt of a night like this."

How can I use leftover pickle brine in day-to-day cooking?

I'm an avid consumer of pickles, especially gherkins. When I've finished a jar, how can I use the brine in my cooking?Geoff, SheffieldLast year, Dua Lipa poured Diet Coke into an ice-filled glass, topped it up with the brine from both a tub of pickles (plus a few rogue pickles) and a tub of jalapeños, swirled it around, then drank it. While someone under the viral TikTok video asked, 'Dua, is everything OK?', the pop star is right about one thing: it's time we start thinking of pickle brine as an ingredient, rather than a byproduct. 'The brine retains all of that delicious pickle flavour,' says Moon Lee, head chef of no-waste restaurant Silo in London, 'and a mixture of sweet and savoury undertones'. Also, because it's fermented, 'it has an almost tangy, kombucha-like taste, too. I'm from Korea, and we always make use of kimchi juice, whether in a dressing, as a seasoning for noodles or in pancake batter. Why can't pickle brine have the same potential?' Good point well made, but what does that mean in practice? 'We've previously combined cucumber with pickle brine and cold-pressed rapeseed oil, then topped it with chopped shallots that have been marinated in salt and sugar,' Moon says; she reckons the same approach would work a treat with wild fennel, especially. Meanwhile, pickle brine also 'makes a great seasoning', says Stuart Ralston, executive chef and owner of Aizle, Lyla, Noto and Tipo, all in Edinburgh, and will put some pucker into your potatoes: 'A few spoonfuls of pickle brine will make a potato salad, for example, more interesting.' Alternatively, combine 150ml each of vegetable oil and olive oil with 110ml pickle brine, 60g dijon mustard and 5g chopped fresh oregano, then 'adjust the seasoning, if need be, but that won't be far off'. Use that to dress a roast chicken, Ralston says, to serve with boiled potatoes and crisp salad leaves. Otherwise, Ralston might use the stuff to brine a chicken – 'give it a few hours to make the bird more tender and retain moisture' – while the Guardian's own zero-waste correspondent, Tom Hunt, uses it to brine pork chops for similar reasons: 'Pickle juice is brimming with flavour and salt, which is exactly what's needed to make the most flavourful pork chop out there.' Put your chop or chops in a tub in which they'll fit snugly, then pour over the pickle juice: 'Ideally enough to submerge the chop, but even a small amount will work wonders.' Leave to marinate for three hours, and ideally overnight, then, when you're ready to cook, 'lift the chops from the brine, pat dry with a clean towel and cook using your preferred method'. Of course, spent pickle brine can also simply be used to pickle something else, Moon says: 'It's a common fermentation technique known as 'backslopping'. Keep a small amount of used brine and add it to a new batch to accelerate the pickling process.' That said, if you want to channel your inner Dua Lipa and down some pickle brine, instead, Ralston reckons it's probably best to hold the cola: 'When I lived in America, I'd often have a bloody mary at brunch, and a few splashes of gherkin brine, say, really give it a kick.' That's not a bad way to get yourself out of a pickle. Got a culinary dilemma? Email feast@

Dua Lipa and fiance Callum Turner packed on the PDA during their romantic getaway to Italy 's Amalfi Coast. The singer, 29, and the actor, 35, couldn't keep their hands off each other as they shared a passionate kiss while sunbathing.

Meanwhile, Callum displayed his sunburnt chest and back while wearing a pair of bright orange swimming shorts. Dua, who turns 30 in August, opened up about their romance in a recent interview with Vogue . 'I'd love to have kids one day,' she said. 'But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time - how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Confirming their engagement, Dua said: 'Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling.' Stylish: Dua showed off her toned physique in a black and white polka dot bikini While the wedding hasn't been at the forefront of her mind amid her busy schedule touring, she did admit she has started to think about her dress. She said: 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: "Oh, what would I wear?"' Dua said she's 'obsessed' with her engagement ring, before insisting 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Dua and Callum were first linked in January 2024 and reportedly got engaged over Christmas in 2024.
