Jo Whiley reveals superstar who left her feeling ‘tiny and stupid' after ‘unpleasant' interview
Jo told The Sun why her kids will 'never be nepo babies' AWKWARD ENCOUNTER Jo Whiley reveals superstar who left her feeling 'tiny and stupid' after 'unpleasant' interview BBC Radio 2 star Jo Whiley said she was left feeling "tiny and stupid" after interviewing two global superstars. The presenter, 60, said she welcomed US rappers Eminem and Dr. Dre to her show but admitted the whole experience was "horrible".

Jo said: "I remember interviewing Eminem and Dr Dre one time and that was horrible. "I'd interviewed Eminem when he was very young and he was very shy and polite. "He kept calling me "ma'am" all the time and he was really, really sweet and humble." Advertisement But Jo recalled a more recent interview where she describes Eminem as being like "this other creature" after finding global fame. "Then a couple of years later he came back on the show but with Dr Dre and the fame had happened and he was just this other creature altogether," Jo continued. "They were just so playful with me - and can I just say they made me feel so tiny and so stupid." Jo admitted that the interview was "a really unpleasant experience". Advertisement The radio star, who has been on the BBC since 1993, has interviewed a string of A-listers including David Bowie, Barbara Streisand and Noel Gallagher. t comes after Jo opened up about battling anxiety in the early days of her DJ'ing career in the 90s. BBC Radio 2 star Jo Whiley flaunts six-pack - and shares secret weapon 'I remember doing one gig and I was just so scared, I thought I can't go on like this. This is ridiculous,' she told Woman's Health. 'It's ruining my life because I'm just such a ball of anxiety. Advertisement 'But then I realised how happy it was making people when I do these gigs and that was a game changer.' In June, Jo told The Sun why her kids will 'never be nepo babies,' despite her huge career success. The highly successful 59-year-old radio star has been a host since 1993 and presented her own show on BBC Radio 1 from 2001-2009. In addition to her radio work, Jo is also an accomplished TV presenter and has covered many major music festivals. Advertisement The star married music executive Steve Morton in July 1991, and together they share their four kids - their eldest daughter India was born the year they were married before an eight-year gap for the birth of son Jude. The couple also share son Cassius and daughter Coco Lux. But despite their musical connections and fame, Jo insists her four children will 'never be nepo babies.' Speaking alongside a new campaign with The Rail Industry, Jo told The Sun: 'My kids will never be nepo babies. They are very determined never ever to make it because I'm their mum. Advertisement 'It really horrifies them - the thought that anybody would ever employ them because of what I do. So they're so determined to get jobs and do work on their own merits, and they will never take advantage of me at all.' Jo added: 'They'll never ever use my name to get somewhere.' Jo said it's actually her who ends up introducing her children to popular artists and modern music, as opposed to the other way around. And Jo's passion for music isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Advertisement The DJ, who is often found in the booth at her 90s anthem gigs, turns 60 next month on 4th July, but she has no plans to slow down her career. 'I've done so much over my career but I want to keep on keeping on, and playing music to people. I'm doing so much of what I enjoy at the moment, and I want to keep going with it.' 5 Jo opened up about battling anxiety in the early days of her DJ'ing career in the 90s Credit: Camera Press 5 The mum-of-four told The Sun why her kids will 'never be nepo babies' Credit: Getty

Four ways to boost your chances of winning massive EuroMillions prizes as £84million up for grabs TONIGHT
We also reveal the numbers that YOU should be picking and whether picking birthday numbers ever works WIN BIG Four ways to boost your chances of winning massive EuroMillions prizes as £84million up for grabs TONIGHT WINNING the lottery is everyone's fantasy - but what are the tactics behind picking the winning numbers? Lottery Guy, a top expert and blogger, has exclusively revealed his top tips to boost your chances of winning with Sun readers. 3 A massive £84million is up for grabs in the jackpot tonight Credit: Getty 3 From picking 'unpopular' numbers to avoiding birthday numbers, we explain how to boost your chances of winning Credit: Getty He chooses to remain anonymous but has been running his blog, Lottery Guy, since 2004, where he dishes out lottery tips to help players win big. There have been some mega lottery prizes up for grabs recently, including the whopping £208 million EuroMillions jackpot that was won by one lucky Irish ticket holder. The lucky player now has a bank balance bigger than superstars Adele and Dua Lipa. The EuroMillions winning numbers were: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49 and the Lucky Stars are: 03, 05. Meanwhile, tonight's jackpot is set at £84million. Of course, the only real way of boosting your chances of winning is to buy more tickets, but make sure you gamble responsibly. Avoid birthday numbers You must pick five main numbers between 1-50 for your EuroMillions ticket. You must also pick two "lucky star" numbers from 1-12. It may be tempting to pick yours and your loved one's birthday dates as your main numbers with the hope they bring you luck. But the Lottery Guy said it's best to avoid this tactic. That's because there will be a greater number of people picking numbers 1-31. "Avoiding these numbers doesn't increase your chance of winning, but if you do win, you're much less likely to split the prize with other winners." Three of the five winning main numbers for the £250million EuroMillions winning ticket were birthday date numbers. They were: 13, 22 and 23. Pick 'unpopular' numbers Statistically, each number has an equal chance of winning, which means there are no "lucky" numbers you can pick to boost your chances. But Lottery Guy said a good idea would be to pick "unpopular" numbers in your ticket. Unpopular numbers are those which run from 32-50, because they fall outside of the birthday date numbers. It makes sense to choose these numbers, because fewer players will be picking them. That means that if you win a share of the winnings, there will be fewer people with the same unpopular numbers on their ticket. "If you do win, you're much less likely to split the prize with other winners," he said. Two of the numbers on the winning £250million EuroMillions ticket were "unpopular" numbers. These were 44 and 49. 3 Join a syndicate A lottery syndicate is when a group of people club together and put money into a pot for lottery tickets. One person will be in charge of buying the tickets and sharing out winnings. They are called the syndicate manager. Joining one could be a good idea, said Lottery Guy. "A syndicate does increase your chance of winning something because you're usually buying a lot more tickets," he said. "But obviously your share of any prize is smaller - although it's still great for a big rollover jackpot." The syndicate manager will need to register the group and list themselves as the person in charge with The National Lottery. It's really important to write all the terms and conditions of your syndicate agreement down. Get each person to sign it, so that if there is any confusion or squabbles over splitting the money, you can refer back to the agreement. I won £115million in the EuroMillions lottery - here's how I spent it WINNING the EuroMillions was a dream come true for Frances and Patrick Connolly. The couple, from Moira, Northern Ireland, were gobsmacked when they scooped £115million back in 2019. But it wasn't a luxury supercar or a mansion that they splurged on first - they shared nearly £58million between 50 friends and family. Frances said last year that she and husband Patrick have donated £60million since their life-changing win. 'That's £60million-worth of love," she said. "And the thing that makes me even happier is that every single person we gave money to has passed some of it on to other people. I can't think of a day since winning the Lottery that I haven't smiled." They've also made some splurges of their own. Patrick has swapped his old Renault Laguna for a new £30,000 Alfa Romeo Giulia. He also gifted Frances with her dream car - although it came with a much more modest price tag - a £2,000 X-Type Jaguar. "If I had any advice for a winner, I'd say money liberates you to be the person that you want to be." Which day to play You have to be in it to win it, so if you want the chance of scooping a jackpot, you must buy a ticket. But certain days are better than others to buy a ticket. Lottery Guy said Tuesday is actually the best day to buy a ticket over Friday. He said: "With EuroMillions, Friday is the much more popular day, so you've got more competition on a Friday. "Consider focusing on the Tuesday draw if you want to keep more of that jackpot for yourself." And remember, only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set a spending limit before you play.

Love Island fans convinced axed star is locked in secret feud with host Maya Jama after noticing ‘giveaway clue'
LOVE Island fans are convinced an axed show star is locked in a feud with host Maya Jama. Viewers of the ITV2 series called out the alleged conduct during Monday's show finale, which saw Toni Laites and Cach Mercer crowned winners. 6 Love Island fans are convinced host Maya Jama is locked in a secret feud with one axed co-star Credit: Eroteme 6 Fans called out Helena Forde's frosty reception to the ITV2 show anchor Credit: Eroteme 6 Helena dished out short answers to Maya's questions Credit: Eroteme The duo scooped the £50K cash prize yet away from the main Love Island final action, eagle-eyed fans were quick to call out a variety of sly moves. These included Harrison rolling his eyes at Toni when she called him out on air. Helena Ford was also spotted "rudely" talking to Angel in the background of Yas's interview. Now fans reckon air hostess Helena is also harbouring a secret feud with host Maya Jama. It came after her short answers and disinterested look as Maya chatted to her in the villa garden before the main result was announced. Walking up to Helena and Alima, perched on bar stools, Maya said: "Alima, Helena, hello my lovelies," to which Helena simply replied: "Hi." Maya later said: "Helena you've been out for a little bit, you've got your phone back, what about your DMs anything exciting going on there?" Looking disinterested, she replied: "I haven't actually looked to be honest. "It's just the old roster resurfacing and I'm thinking 'oh no not you again.'" Maya suggested: "Maybe they're like 'I've seen you on telly I'm gonna fix up?'" to which Helena bluntly said: "They're not." Love Island star caught snubbing finalist and 'ignoring' her during live final - but did you spot it Fans were quick to suspect the pair weren't on the same page and one wrote on X: "Why does it seem like some of the islanders (Meg & Helena) aren't interested in talking to Maya?" A second put: "It's giving rude!!!" A third commented: "Maya talking to Helena is like pulling teeth," as one put: "Even Maya is looking at Helena like girl bye." One then added: "Helena is FUMINGGGGG, INJECT ITTT." MAYA SWIPE Earlier in the series, Maya was praised by fans as she called out Helena and then partner Harry. She was left clearly unimpressed by Helena as she sat sniggering about Harry's antics in Casa Amor. Maya snipped: 'I don't know, I probably wouldn't find that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that.' Those watching at home were impressed by Maya's reaction, with one person commenting: 'Helena looking so dumb that even Maya had to question her intelligence lmao.' MAYA'S BACKING In a toe-curling moment during the live final, host Maya received silence after backing OG stars Shakira and Harry, who was Helena's former show partner. Ahead of the results being announced, Maya told the couple: "You are in the final and there's something that the public have seen that obviously gives love story." But when this had a limited crowd response, she added: "I can hear the whispers in the background." It came after Harry and Shakira recently recoupled prior to the final after a rollercoaster experience in the villa. 6 Fans suggested Helena 'wasn't interested' in talking to Maya Credit: Eroteme 6 Another raged 'it's giving rude' Credit: Eroteme
