One then confessed: "I didn't even know I needed this until this moment. So good."
FORWARD PLANNING
While Ed is clearly enjoying living in the present, The Sun reported in May how he was planning records to be released for his death.
The Shape Of You singer said he has been gathering songs made throughout his life for a record called Eject.
Speaking to Jimmy Fallon on TV in the US, Ed said: 'I want to make an album for all of my life that comes out the day I die called Eject.
"I am not joking.
'Imagine when Paul McCartney passes there's a record with a song he made at 16, a song at 20, at 30. Fascinating.'
Ed joked: 'People will be like, 'Still beyond the grave he f***s with us."

His wife was nonchalant as she showed him her shirt, which had his 2002 debut studio album Justified emblazoned across the front. But her jaw dropped open and she placed a hand in front of her face to hide her surprised reaction when he opened his blazer jacket to reveal he was wearing a shirt of her on it too. This comes after a rough patch - ever since he got arrested and charged with a DWI and when he faced backlash after postponing his concert shows last minute amid his album flop. While he was performing at the festival on Saturday, Biel was also there in California with him to show her support amid his recent controversies. And vice versa, he publicly showed off his adoration for his wife of 13 years. The pair have been married since 2012 and are parents to two sons, Silas, 10, and Phineas, four. The Grammy winner revealed that his shirt was custom-made and captioned his post showing off his shirt featuring a stunning shot of his wife from her 2004 photoshoot for Giant magazine. 'We out here fan girling,' he wrote in his caption alongside two heart-eye emojis. Biel also reshared his post and said he 'really outdid the doer' with the surprise.

He also threw on some tinted sunglasses for his performance. Cheering him on from the audience, Biel donned her shirt featuring his Justified album, which won him multiple Grammys in the noughties, paired with high-waisted, dark jeans and small, retro shades. In the video of them showing off their outfits to each other, the SexyBack hitmaker walked toward Biel in his trailer and asked her to show her outfit to the camera.

Then, Timberlake opened his button-down dramatically with a 'bam' to show her what he was wearing. While Biel was reacting with surprise and laughing, the NSYNC member said he and his team 'made' the shirt just for the particular performance. He said he even asked one of their two kids if they recognized who was on his shirt prior to the festival. But her jaw dropped open and she placed a hand in front of her face to hide her surprised reaction when he opened his blazer jacket to reveal he was wearing a shirt of her on it too While Biel was reacting with surprise and laughing, the NSYNC member said he and his team 'made' the shirt just for the particular performance. He said he even asked one of their two kids if they recognized who was on his shirt prior to the festival Earlier this month, Biel spoke to InStyle and in her cover story, she opened up about her and her husband's history with T-shirts. She admitted that she once stole of his shirts almost 20 years ago and never returned it to him as she was comforted by his smell that lingered on his clothes. 'I would always want to have something of his to travel with,' she confessed. 'You know, something that just makes you feel like home, makes you feel connected to that person.' She explained: 'It smelled like him, now it smells like me, which is a bummer.' She said the shirt, which was her husband's childhood clothing, was 'on its last leg' but remains resilient as it has become a token of their lasting romance. 'I think having a partnership that understands this industry and adjacent industries has been deeply important and profound for my life and for our partnership because he just understands when I'm working crazy long hours and I understand that for him too.' She added: 'I get it when he works all night long. That's kinda normal and I know that.' His latest performance comes amid his 'trainwreck' tour — The Forget Tomorrow World Tour. His wife was reportedly in the audience cheering him on as they both proudly sported T-shirts with each other emblazoned across the front He has faced backlash for canceling multiple shows last minute during the world tour, which had been marred with controversy in recent months. Most recently, he canceled his final concert in Columbus, Ohio in February due to illness, but fans were left furious as they had already been lining up with minutes left before the doors would be opened when they found out. Timberlake has also been slammed for performing very few of his nostalgic hits and rather singing songs nearly all from his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was, an album that few concertgoers seemed to know the words to and had been branded a commercial failure. Back in June 2024, Timberlake was pulled over under the suspicion of drunk driving in Long Island. On June 18, it was reported that he failed a series of sobriety tests at the time, according to a police report exclusively obtained by He accepted a plea deal following his arrest, which saw bodycam footage going viral when he was seen telling the officer, who did not know who he was, that the arrest 'would ruin the world tour.'

Meet the glam partners of Formula One stars from pro golfer to TikTok sensation
The rich and famous descended on Silverstone this weekend for the British Formula 1 race and the drivers were supported by faces just as glamourous as the celebrities behind the wheel. It was McLaren's Lando Norris who went over the line first with Oscar Piastri and Nico Hulkenberg second and third respectively. Here, takes a look at the stunning WAGs many of whom were there at the weekend as the F1 circus pulled into the UK. Dating Max Verstappen Verstappen and Piquet welcomed their first child together earlier this year. The F1 star announced the birth on Instagram, where he wrote: 'Welcome to the world, sweet Lily. Our hearts are fuller than ever - you are our greatest gift. We love you so much.' While Lily is Max's first child, model Piquet, 36, already has a daughter, Penelope, born in 2019, from her previous relationship with Formula One driver Daniil Kvyat, 30. Kelly is a 35-year-old model from Brazil and hasn't just bagged herself a boyfriend who is a four-time world champion, but also happens to be the daughter of one too - with her father, Nelson Piquet, having the same badge of honor himself. Nelson is a controversial figure and was fined for racist and homophobic comments about Lewis Hamilton two years ago. In an interview in November 2021, Piquet, 72, used a Portuguese racial slur in reference to the seven-time world champ. Hamilton called for action to change 'archaic mindsets' after footage of the interview surfaced. Piquet then apologized but argued that his comments were mistranslated. The judge in the case, Pedro Matos de Arrudo, said the compensation was 'so that, as a society, we can someday be free from the pernicious acts that are racism and homophobia'. Kelly and Max have been dating since January 2021 and are often spotted with Kelly's daughter, Penelope. The model recently pleaded with social media fans to stop spreading rumors about her after facing 'a strange and upsetting wave of accusations' in the last three years, some of which relate to her previous relationships. Alexandra Saint Mleux Dating Charles Leclerc Alexandra Saint Mleux is a TikTok influencer who stole the heart of her beau, Charles Leclerc over a year ago, with the two having made their first public appearance in March 2023. In May of the same year, her racing driver love confirmed the budding romance. Since then, the pair have only gained in strength and even appeared at the Monaco Grand Prix gala dinner with Prince Albert and Princess Charlene following Charles's home-race victory earlier this year. When she's not cheering her super speedy boyfriend on, she's filming lifestyle and home videos for her 886.900 TikTok followers. Her glamorous videos are the hallmark of an F1 WAG with her feed full of luxury travel locations, designer outfit fit checks and the odd few on glamorous yachts. Alex isn't just beautiful in herself, but is a fan of all things cultural, being a passionate art historian. Francisca Gomes Dating Pierre Gasly According to People magazine, Pierre, 27, has been dating model Francisca since 2022. The couple however didn't go Instagram official until 2023, when the driver shared a photo of the pair bringing in the new year together in Dubai. 'Let's hope for a year with good health, filled with love, dopamine, adrenaline and many TROPHIES!' he wrote in the post. 'I wish you all an incredible year to you and with your loved ones. Let's make it one to remember.' They have since made glamorous public appearances at events like Cannes Film Festival and Wimbledon - and as reported by People, Pierre has even called Francisca his 'lucky charm'. As well as being a model and influencer, Francisca - who is from Portugal - also appears to be a keen traveler. She often documents her adventures on Instagram, where she has 818,000 followers. Carmen Montero Mundt Dating George Russell Carmen Montero Mundt has been in a relationship with George Russell, 26, since 2020 - and as reported by GP Blog, the couple happily live in Monaco together. According to the outlet, 27-year-old Carmen 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, and have made a number of public appearances since first getting together. Lily Muni He Dating Alexander Albon Lily Muni He and Alexander Albon are a sporty couple match made in heaven - as both are accomplished athletes. Lily, 26, is professional golfer from China, who plays on the US-based LPGA Tour, while Alexander, 29, has been praised for his success in racing. As reported by NBC Sports, Lily was introduced to golf when she was only five years old, by her father. She grew up in Vancouver, Canada before moving to the U.S. and now is based in Los Angeles. In 2018, she opened up about her strategy for success throughout the Q-Series - not paying attention to her ranking during or after any of the final stage of the LPGA's qualifying tournament. She told as reported by NBC Sports: 'I didn't know I made it until everyone started congratulating when we were all done. 'It's the first time I've ever done that, not look where I stand on the leaderboard.' However, she admitted halfway through, her father accidentally let her know her place on the leaderboard. She and Alex started dating in 2019, after Lily watched a Netflix documentary on F1. 'I was in a slump. I was in a really bad place mentally. It was my rookie year and I wasn't playing well at all. A friend of mine convinced me to watch a (Formula One) documentary on Netflix called Drive to Survive'. They said, "I think you'd really like it. It helps you to see another perspective of a sport that's under so much pressure", she told Golf Week in 2021. 'So I watched the whole entire season in one day. I know as bizarre as this might sound, it got me really motivated in golf instantly.' After getting more curious about F1, Lily started following Alex on Instagram and 'really didn't think that much of it'. However, unbeknownst to her Alex was also getting into golf at the same time - and so followed her. 'I guess that's how we technically met,' she explained. 'We started talking on the phone. We were both rookies in 2019 and I thought that was extremely cool. 'Eventually he had an event in the States and afterwards, he and his friend took a little break in LA and that's how we properly met for the first time.' Rebecca Donaldson Dating Carlos Sainz Carlos Sainz started his relationship with Rebecca Donaldson in 2023, with the pair first becoming an item in June two years ago. The 29-year-old Scottish model has been sighted at races with her beau, including at the Las Vegas GP, which he came incredibly close to winning in 2023. Donaldson has appeared on the covers of high-end fashion magazines like Vogue and Marie Claire since winning a beauty pageant aged 17, when she was a student at the prestigious Perth Academy, dreaming of breaking into the fashion industry. 'My mum entered me and I was really surprised when I found out,' she said at the time. 'I am really excited to have won and am really looking forward to entering the Top Model UK competition.' Rebecca was first linked to Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and Kourtney Kardashian's ex Scott Disick when the pair attended the premiere of a new series of the show in 2022. They dated for two months before splitting up in June of that year. She founded the activewear fashion label Muse in 2020 during the pandemic, explaining: 'I knew I wanted to create something that not only I would wear and be proud of putting my name against, but also something that was missing from the market.' The couple were first seen out together in Milan in June 2023, then fans started to think they were an item when they appeared at a golf course in Amsterdam in late August. One of Sainz's sisters began following her on Instagram, adding fuel to speculation about a romance, before Donaldson took to the catwalk at Madrid Fashion Week last month in front of members of the driver's family. While the pair haven't posted any shots of them together on their social media, they do comment on each other's posts regularly. Lily Zneimer Dating Oscar Piastri Oscar Piastri, 23, enjoyed an impressive debut season on the grid in two years ago as he racked up 97 points and secured a creditable ninth-place finish in the drivers' standings. The Australian's private life has generally been kept quiet since he came into the F1 world, but he has shared snaps with childhood sweetheart Lily Zneimer on social media. In their most recent snap together, the pair could be seen on a trip to Japan. The pair met at school and have been dating for nearly five years, with Zneimer regularly supporting the Australian at events. She is reportedly still a student and the pair were also pictured together at the Autosport Awards. Lando Norris Margarida Corceiro After Lando split from Luisinha Oliveira in 2022, he has been enjoying a lowkey romance with Portuguese model and actress, Margaradia Corceiro. The pair were first seen together in May 2023 in a video on social media showing the 25-year-old driving his Fiat Jolly with her in the back of the classic car after she split from Barcelona star Joao Felix. They were later spotted together at the Monte Carlo Masters last April but have predominantly kept their on-off relationship out of the spotlight. Margarida is no stranger to flaunting her figure in scantily clad bikini snaps, sharing images from her trip to The Maldives. Back again: Norris reportedly rekindled his romance with Portuguese model Margarida Corceiro this year The McLaren star - who had held the record for most podiums without a race win - ended his barren run by beating triple world champion Max Verstappen to victory at the Miami Grand Prix in May 2024. Corceiro has appeared on a number of Portuguese television shows and as per Portuguese outlet Maria, was a contestant in the country's version of Dancing With The Stars in 2020. Norris and Corceiro continued to attend events together throughout much of last year before reports claimed that the pair had ended their short-term relationship. Confirming the news ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, Norris coolly stated on-stage amidst a packed crowd after being asked if he would like a dog: 'If I do I need a girlfriend, and I don't have one.' However, it appeared the pair have rekindled their romance after Corceiro was spotted by TV cameras during qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix in May. Corceiro, a model and actress from Portugal, has had an on-off relationship with Norris Flavy Barla Dating Esteban Ocon Good news: Haas driver Esteban Ocon went public with his relationship with influencer Flavy Barla in 2023 Popular: Barla has amassed a large social media following Haas driver Esteban Ocon went public with his relationship with influencer Flavy Barla in 2023 following the breakdown of his five-year partnership with Italian model Elena Berri.

BBC legend Sue Barker broke golden rule at Wimbledon and was caught out by music icon
SUE BARKER broke a golden rule at Wimbledon. And she was caught out by a music icon. 5 Barker, 69, is a legend at the All England Club, competing in 12 Wimbledon Championships as a player. The former French Open winner then spent three decades hosting the BBC's broadcast coverage of the iconic tournament. But there was one incident that saw her breach the strict All England Club protocol. Barker revealed in her book Wimbledon, A Personal History that she made the blunder during the opening ceremony of the Centre Court retractable roof in 2009. The former BBC anchor conducted proceedings - with some of tennis' greats in attendance. But she was called out by Katherine Jenkins for her faux pas. Welsh singer Jenkins stunned the crowd with an emotional rendition of Amazing Grace as the roof moved across and then followed it up by singing Bryan Adams' (Everything I Do) I Do It for You. Then she called Barker out for her mistake - after spotting the former British No1 wearing heels on Wimbledon's hallowed Centre Court turf. Jenkins approached Barker and said: "But I was told I couldn't wear heels." Barker wrote in her memoir: "She was wearing a pink lace strapless dress and lovely sparkly little flip-flops. 'You took the game away from me' - Major Wimbledon controversy as new technology FAILS and Kartal rival fumes at umpire "So the first part of our interview was me trying to pretend that I wasn't really in heels. "You know, because obviously the rules are that you're not allowed to wear heels on the Centre Court grass. It was hugely embarrassing." Incredibly, a decade-and-a-half later, Jenkins reminded Barker of her blunder - in front of tennis great Billie Jean King. Barker added: "Without so much as a hello, Katherine pointed me out to her husband like she was identifying a criminal in a police line-up. "She blurted out, 'SHE broke the rules on Centre Court.' "That was 2009 – nearly 15 years ago – and her first association on seeing me again was to recall my illegal high heels. 5 Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - follow all the latest scores and updates from a thrilling fortnight at SW19 "But we had a lovely chat, another really special time just relaxing with someone rather than the fleeting catch-ups I had when I was relentlessly working." Barker hung up her microphone and retired from the BBC hosting gig in emotional scenes in 2022. She returned in 2024 for Andy Murray's farewell ceremony. And then for this year's Championships, Barker fronted an advert for Emirates as she checked the height of the nets, the length of the grass, the colour of the flowers, the cleanliness of the staircase and the bounce of the balls on the courts - before finishing off the clip with a spot of afternoon tea at the All England Club. The former Question of Sport host has largely remained out of the public eye since her BBC departure. And that meant she turned down the chance to front Sky Sports' tennis coverage of the ATP and WTA Tours. 5
