Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson is still working her way back from injury and misses the championships, meaning Georgia Hunter Bell is the favourite over two laps as she decides which event to run in Tokyo, with the potential for an audacious double after winning a superb bronze in Paris last summer. While Jake Wightman has been forced to pull out through sickness, leaving his place on the team in jeopardy, and Josh Kerr, as defending world champion from Budapest, will run the 5,000m at British Championships.

Sue Radford forced to give ‘tough love' to Katie, 22, as she moans about ‘hard life' away from ‘millionaire mansion'
Scroll down as Katie openly discusses her "regret" about moving out of the Radford's 'millionaire mansion' NOT SO RAD Sue Radford forced to give 'tough love' to Katie, 22, as she moans about 'hard life' away from 'millionaire mansion' MUM-OF-22 Sue Radford has been forced to give her 22-year-old daughter Katie some 'tough love.' In the most recent episode of 22 Kids & Counting, which will air on Channel 5 later this evening, viewers will see new mum Katie battle the early days of motherhood.

As well as dealing with night feeds with her 'absolute dream baby', Katie got candid on feeling 'lonely' and her 'regret' of leaving her family home. Shortly after giving birth to her son Ronnie Hudson Carter, Katie and Connor moved into a small flat just two miles away from the safety net of Sue, 50. And as Connor went back to work, Katie opened up on finding things 'hard". Advertisement She explained: 'A baby takes up a lot of room, there just wouldn't have been room in my mum and dad's house for us all. 'Last night, he woke up every two hours…I don't think anything prepares you for having your own, I didn't expect this to be me. 'Connor went back to work today and it is harder, you've got to do everything yourself. 'It is a lot harder living on your own. At home you've got your parents and your siblings to help, whereas when you're at your own place you've got to do it on your own. Advertisement 'I wasn't prepared for any of that - the loneliness.' Clearly struggling with the huge lifestyle change, Katie, who recently rushed her now nine-month-old baby Ronnie to hospital and discovered he had shingles, admitted: 'I do miss my mum and my dad. Katie Radford finally breaks silence on split from Connor Carter - as she shares sly dig on people making 'no effort' 'It's so quiet, you're kind of on your own.' Later in the episode, just four weeks after Katie left the Radford mansion, a former care home in Morecambe, Lancashire, which is spread over four storeys, Katie acknowledged missing the hustle and bustle of her family home. Advertisement The mum-of-one, who recently broke her silence on her 'split' with the father of her child, explained: 'It's very quiet [at the flat], every little noise I hear I'm skitzing out. 'The other day it was really windy and it sounded like someone was trying to open my door. So I ran home.' It is a lot harder living on your own. At home you've got your parents and your siblings to help, whereas when you're at your own place you've got to do it on your own Katie Radford But this wasn't the first time Katie flocked back to Sue's nest, as the family's matriarch recognised: 'She was coming round every single day, 8:30am and then not going back until 6pm - I think she was missing everybody.' But eager to look forward, Sue felt forced to interfere and give her daughter some 'tough love".

George Russell's staggering net worth as he nears new £30m-a-year Mercedes deal: Inside F1 star's rich sponsorship empire, stunning luxury car collection - and relationship with business-savvy influencer girlfriend
There can't be many 27-year-old's living the high life like George Russell this year. The British Formula One star is entering his prime, is building a sponsorship empire, travels the world with glamourous girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundt and is closing in on a new Mercedes deal worth an eye-watering £30m-a-year. There had been some nagging doubts about his future with the constructor but Russell is set for a bumper payday, more than doubling his current £12m-a-year package. As Mail Sport's Jonathan McEvoy exclusively revealed this week, negotiations have accelerated over the last few weeks and a source close to the talks confirmed: 'All the main points have been agreed.' Russell's incoming raise will remain well short of Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton - each on about £60m a year. While he does not yet have the achievements or global fanbase to garner such earnings, his win in Canada and domination over team-mate Kimi Antonelli this season point to his consistent form. He is delivering off the track, too. Russell is extremely marketable and has brands queuing up to represent them. His net worth is currently estimated to be in the region of £15m, though clearly that is set to increase substantially in the next few years. In addition to Mercedes and their high-performance engine division AMG, he has deals with the British Racing Drivers' Club, Bell Helmets, Alpinestars, MDM Designs and sportswear giant Adidas. He even has watch company IWC Schaffhausen backing his wristwear options and he's been seen wearing their Portugieser 'Obsidian' model, which can cost up to £41,200. Russell, a former child karting prodigy who grew up in Norfolk, like many F1 stars, is no stranger to a modelling shoot, either. He adorned the cover of fashion magazine L'Officiel last October and is sharply dressed at number of society events every year. Russell has been pictured at Wimbledon rubbing shoulders with the likes of Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, always kitted out in his finery. He was in situ for the final this year, decked out in a tailored double-breasted pin stripe suit alongside girlfriend Mundt. Mundt has been in a relationship with Russell since 2020 and the couple happily live in Monaco together. She has previously worked in finance - as an investor relations associate at Ruffer LLP in London - but recently announced that she is going back to studying. The driver's very glamorous girlfriend - who is originally from Spain and moved to the UK aged 18 - has a business degree from the University of Westminster. Carmen has more than 409,000 followers on Instagram, and often shares snaps of her luxury travels and enviable style online. The couple are understood to have met through friends in London. 'Five years with the most wonderful person I could ever ask for,' Mundt wrote on in honour of their anniversary in February this year. 'Forever proud of who you are and what you do.' She is impressive in her own right with a bachelor's degree in business management and finance and a diploma in asset allocation and risk management from the University of Geneva. When speaking about her work, she previously told followers: 'I always wanted to work in finance. 'My family struggled financially during the global crisis and that determined what I wanted to do from a very young age.' When asked if jetting around the world to watch Russell at races distracted her from her day job, she replied: 'It takes my head away from work and I enjoy the sport and spending time with him. 'There's nothing I enjoy more than G's success.' And the driver has described his other half as 'incredibly supportive'. 'Last year, for the first time, I experienced some fans booing me on a driver's parade. I'd never experienced that before', Russell explained. 'I talk with the people who I trust and love the most and they offer a huge hand.' Mundt is also business savvy when it comes to her own affairs and has her own contracts with major brands as an influencer. He has worked with Dior and Tommy Hilfiger among other luxury companies. Unsurprisingly, Russell ferries Mundt around in a variety of luxury cars from his collection when they're jet-setting around the world. Russell drives for Mercedes and loves their cars away from the track as well The Mercedes star will be backed again as his team's No 1 after their interest in signing Max Verstappen ended No doubt if the performances on the track keep coming, Russell will thrive off it as well He is very much the company man and recently shared on social media that he had his 'dream car'. Russell was spotted crouching next to his new Mercedes AMG ONE, a Formula One inspired hypercar. It has a top speed of 219mph, goes 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds and holds the record for the fastest lap time for a production car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Much of the tech in the car is similar or the same as that in an F1 vehicle and only 275 of them were made, all by hand. Given the tech and exclusivity, it is perhaps no surprise to see the price tag up at a whopping £2.5million. But Russell has his hands of one now and he'll add it to his existing fleet of Mercedes. Russell usually drives a Mercedes-AMG G 63, an off-roader better suited for the British countryside, while he also has an affection for Mini Mokes, which don't have any roofs or doors. He recently revealed that he typically uses a Mercedes-AMG C 63 S and washes it by hand himself. No doubt in the coming years Russell will add to his collection, especially now he's on the brink of the £30m-a-year deal. His hard work on the track restarts at the Hungarian GP this weekend and the already bountiful fruits of his labour will continue to grow in the years ahead.
