Lionel Messi looks embarrassed as he and wife Antonela are shown on Coldplay kiss cam at Miami concert
LIONEL MESSI was caught in a rare moment of awkwardness with his stunning wife Antonela Roccuzzo at a Coldplay concert. The loved-up couple were enjoying the British rock-band's final U.S show in Miami when the dreaded kiss cam landed squarely on them. 6 Lionel Messi was pictured on Coldplay's dreaded kiss cam on Sunday night Credit: X @ESPNFC 6 Messi and his wife Antonela took the joke well, before smiling to the crowd Credit: X @ESPNFC 6 Astronomer's chief executive Andy Byron was caught canoodling with his head of human resources Kristin Cabot at a gig last week It comes days after the kiss scam scandal involving married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot. Their ducking reaction to being filmed at Boston's gig has caught the world's attention - with millions now talking about an alleged affair . And while many might seize the opportunity for a public smooch, Messi seemed to go bright red given the circumstances. Footage circulating on social media showed the Inter Miami star smiling sheepishly, while Antonela, ever graceful, beamed beside him. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL With everyone in the crowd cheering "Messi", the couple waved to fans before Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin serenaded them. Martin, who had jokingly called out Byron and Caobt's potential 'affair' during his performance last week, thanked Messi for coming and called him "the No1 sports person of all-time". And it didn't take long for fans online to see the funny side. One wrote: "They should have tried to hide for a second. That would be hilarious."

The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and fellow Barcelona legend Jordi Alba were punished for skipping Major League Soccer's All-Star game earlier this week. Both players missed Wednesday's match in Austin, Texas where the MLS squad posted a 3-1 win against Mexico's Liga MX All-Stars. Elsewhere, Humiliated Byron and Cabot quit their jobs at the tech company as a result of the scandal. And Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow was hired by Astronomer for a tongue-in-cheek video, in what fans are describing as a genius PR move. 6 Astronomer's now former chief executive Andy Byron and HR boss Kristin Cabot on Coldplay's kiss cam

Vogue Williams admits Spencer Matthews wasn't 'happy' after brutal criticism
Podcaster Vogue Williams has revealed that Spencer Matthews was "not happy" after she made her feelings known about one of her husband's prized possessions. After launching their self-titled Spencer and Vogue podcast, the husband-and-wife duo released multiple episodes each week, sharing insights into their busy home lives and answering questions from listeners. However, earlier this year, Spencer shocked fans as he revealed that he would be stepping away from the podcast to pursue other projects. It was later revealed that the show would continue, with Vogue's older sister Amber stepping in to take his place. Now, in her newly released autobiography Big Mouth, Vogue has reflected on her time podcasting with the former Made in Chelsea star and revealed how he was "not happy" after one particular comment she made during a recording. Vogue shared the anecdote in her new autobiography (Image: Mike Marsland, WireImagevia Getty Images) Lifting the lid on what annoyed her husband, she wrote: "He was especially not happy when I slagged the onion painting he did when he was sixteen years old." While she admitted that he had "thrown a few epic wobblers" over the years, she said their arguments were no different from those of any other couple: "Every so often he would threaten to quit, but these are the usual conflicts and dramas of a married couple." Soon after his time on their joint podcast came to an end, Spencer returned to the mic with a new podcast titled Untapped. Vogue first met Spencer in 2017 on a Channel 4 show (Image: undefined via Getty Images) Launched earlier this year, the podcast sees the former reality TV star interview sporting legends such as Mo Farah, Ulrika Jonsson and Ben Stokes, as he explores the factors behind their extraordinary achievements. Looking back on the couple's beginnings, it was eight years ago that they first crossed paths while competing on the Channel 4 show The Jump in 2017. Just a few months later, they tied the knot, surrounded by celebrity guests including Jamie Laing. The couple have three children together (Image: PA) The pair exchanged vows against the backdrop of Spencer's parents' stunning Glen Affric Estate in the Scottish Highlands. Since then, the couple have started a family together, welcoming their first child, Theodore, followed by daughter Gigi and youngest son Otto.
