Real reason Matty Healy skipped Charli xcx and The 1975 bandmate George Daniel's wedding
While George's bandmates, Ross and Adam, were in attendance, lead singer Matty Healy didn't attend the ceremony. The newly married couple even walked to Hackney Town Hall Charli XCX and The 1975 drummer George Daniel have married, but one bandmate was nowhere to be seen on their big day. The pair looked over the moon as they posed outside Hackney Town Hall on Saturday. Brat queen Charli looked sensational in a white mini-dress, with a heart-shaped neckline, as she held onto her bouquet of flowers while posing for pictures. Their wedding comes just days after George returned to the UK, having been in Ibiza with his bandmates, including Matty Healy, for his stag do. Amidst reports that the couple would be splashing the cash and inviting dozens of famous faces, the Mirror can reveal that Charli and George tied the knot in front of just 20 of their closest friends and family. Shunning the huge showbiz aspect of their lives, the newly married couple even walked to Hackney Town Hall. While George's bandmates, Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann, were in attendance, lead singer Matty Healy didn't attend the ceremony. Which may have come as a shock to fans as they have spent over two decades writing, recording, and touring together, cementing a friendship. It turns out Matty was in LA for the screening of I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel stars in. On Friday evening, the singer was spotted arriving at the venue dressed in a leather jacket over a white top with a red lightning bolt, paired with blue jeans. Matty, who has been linked to Gabbriette since September 2023, appeared in good spirits as he left his vehicle and headed into the event. Despite his absence at the wedding Matty reportedly attended his pal's stag do earlier this week which took place in Ibiza, reports MailOnline. Fans have been left gushing over the newlyweds, with one writing: "She looks so good." A second penned: "OMG, shut up she looks beautiful." "Congratulations, Charli and George," said a third. Meanwhile, a fourth exclaimed: "Pop royalty just got their crown. Congrats to Charli and George!" Other fans speculated on why Matty wasn't at the couple's big day in London. "i hateeeee speculating but I wonder what George thought when Matty said he couldn't make it to his wedding lmao if it was my best mate I'd have probably never spoken to him anymore but that's just me," one penned on Twitter (X). Another argued: "Apparently that was just the 'official' wedding and they're having more of a party wedding soon because there were LOADSSSS of people who weren't there." A third mused: "Matty probably wanted to be good to both George and Gabi, that's why he chose Ibiza over the 'I know what you did last summer' premiere and Gabi's movie party over the wedding. All I can personally see here is a kind man, definitely not a pos." One sarcastically added: "oh yes matty totally hates charli and george it's almost like he never called her "my best friend" on the glasto stage not even a month ago and then cried in george's arms when the show ended, of course the evil monster gabbriette made them fight and plots on the band's demise."

Kidz Bop ready to inspire a nation as they promise 'party to remember' ahead of UK tour
KIDZ BOP are readying themselves for another UK adventure and the stars of the show have revealed the pride they feel in inspiring a new generation through song and dance When it comes to inspiring a young generation, not many groups have the same skillset as KIDZ BOP. Being a star is the dream for so many youngsters and for the current crop of KIDZ BOP members, that has became their reality - and they are very keen to pay that back. Famous faces such as Euphoria's Zendaya and Noah Munck from hit sitcom The Goldbergs have come through the ranks with the energetic band in previous years. And now there is a new generation on stage and they are ready to amaze the UK audiences once again in October. With over 23 million albums sold worldwide and over 14 billion streams of their kidified versions of the most popular tunes, it's safe to say their audience loves them - and it appears the feeling is mutual. Current bangers include Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club and Ed Sheeran 's Azizam, but the group insist there are so many to watch out for. A number of the class of '25 spoke exclusively to The Mirror ahead of their upcoming UK tour, opening up on what fans can expect, what most surprised them about joining the band, and just how it feels to be such an inspiration. With most of the stars of the show sticking with the group for up to three years between the ages of 12-16, current singer Matty, 15, confessed it "does not seem real still" to be part of the number one kids brand. He admitted he loves the fact he and his band members are able to inspire others to reach their dreams while fulfilling his own desires. Sadie Mae, 14, agreed, saying: "It's a literal dream come true. I have always loved watching KIDZ BOP growing up and I can't believe I am now part of this amazing group. There's nothing better than traveling to so many places, being on incredible sets, working with the nicest team and getting to do what I love - which is singing and dancing." And she admitted she was "very surprised" with how quickly the group pulls a performance together. With Matty saying the amount of production involved took him back at first, Sadie Mae said: "It's so impressive to me how we can all come together and get so much done, between wardrobe, rehearsals, different set changes and more! It's just really exciting to be a part of!" Following on from their recent sell-out gigs in the UK, the group is heading back to Blighty for a bigger tour. And Annika, 12, has promised "a night to remember full of fun," while Matty hinted it will be like a party the audience has "never been to before", adding he expects the fans to bring that huge energy once again. Teasing their favourite moment from being on tour, Jack, 12, said concert goers have to watch out for the "Daddy Dance off," while Sadie Mae labelled it all "one big giant party". With the group inspiring children across the globe, they are keen to focus on inclusion and representation, too. Among those sharing pride in what the group stands for is Sadie Mae. "I was born very prematurely and have an invisible disability called Hypotonia," she candidly told us. "Hypotonia is a lifelong condition which affects the muscle tone and strength in my body. I have heard many times in my life that the things I am doing now like dancing, singing and acting, wouldn't be the things I would be successful at. "I tried my very best to never listen to those words and decided to always believe in myself, my dreams and my goals. Sure, some things may be harder for me, but I will always find a way to live the life I want to live and do the things I love to do! It means so much to me to be singing and dancing with KIDZ BOP." She added: "I hope it inspires other kids to never give up on themselves or their dreams and to never let others tell you what you can or cannot achieve. I love that KIDZ BOP focuses on inclusion and representation and I'm so very proud to be a part of this group!" And in a similar way, Savvy, 14, also revealed how "incredible" it feels to connect with the younger generation through ASL. "I sign and dance to KIDZ BOP songs," she said. " We also have a separate series called 'Sign + Dance Alongs' where I sign and dance with another KIDZ BOP Kid and you guys can follow along! It's all about spreading joy and showing that everyone can love music." All members admitted they love seeing fans while on the road and are looking forward to entertaining the UK crowds once again. The tour will feature classic tunes as well as several of their newest numbers from the newly released KIDZ BOP 51. The latest album was released on July 18 and featuring the biggest hits like APT, Pink Pony Club and more, performed by kids for kids. Fans can also go to the KIDZ BOP website for tickets for their tour.

‘Dizzying coastal paths, quiet beaches and dolphins': readers' highlights of the UK coastline
Between Aberystwyth and Cardigan the quiet coastline is sublime, with incredible sunsets, dizzying and spectacular coastal paths, gorgeous quiet beaches and dolphins. Start in Dylan Thomas's old stomping ground, New Quay, and follow the coastal path south along cliffs and past Cwmtydu beach before finishing at gorgeous Llangrannog, where you get two beaches for one (perfect Cliborth beach requires a lower tide to access). Kayaking and surfing are great, and the Pentre Arms provides refreshments with a Lunt The Leas near South Shields (a few miles north of Sunderland) is a beautiful stretch of limestone cliffs and coastal grassland that is a haven for sea birds and wildflowers. There are footpaths and bridle paths across the Leas, so it attracts cyclists, dog walkers and runners all year round. The local parkrun uses the paths and it must be one of the most scenic in the country. The rock stacks along the coast are a great place for spotting cormorants, fulmars and kittiwakes among others. No matter the weather I love to walks these paths and feel the fresh sea breeze through my hair. A wonderful Guardian Travel readers' tips Every week we ask our readers for recommendations from their travels. A selection of tips will be featured online and may appear in print. To enter the latest competition visit the readers' tips homepage - Fife is a glorious peninsula bordered by a brilliant coastal path that takes in a variety of beaches, fishing villages and is an area rich in wildlife and diverse landscapes. The area from Crail to St Andrews is of particular beauty, with several gorgeous places to stop for lunch, such as Cambo Gardens cafe near Kingsbarns and the Cheesy Toast Shack at East Sands in St Andrews. There are loads of places to stay and use as a base to explore the region. The larch-clad cabins at Kinkell Byre offer the opportunity to rest in style. And farther north are the wonderful forest trails and sand dunes of Tentsmuir. Stevie Kirkwood Wander the banks of the River Fal and Helford River in south Cornwall, through ancient Celtic rainforest, where the trees meet the sea. This rare habitat gives us a glimpse of prehistory, with lichen-laden branches, crisp, damp air and some of the UK's rarest wildlife. It feels otherworldly, yet oddly familiar. Amy Penmon Point on the easternmost point of Ynys Môn is a great place to watch for sea birds. The stunning Trwyn Du lighthouse looks out to Puffin Island, and if you're lucky, one might fly right past you. But we have seen even more magic there when it gets dark. If conditions are just right, the waves light up electric blue with bioluminescent plankton as they crash over the pebbles. For refreshments, the Pilot House Cafe is nearby and has a fantastic view from its garden. Chris Jones You need to consult your tide tables before visiting Sunderland Point on Morecambe Bay. This extraordinary place of sea-sucked mudflats, salt marsh and vast skies is cut off daily at high tide. I cross the causeway in May when the sea pinks (sea thrift) are flowering and the air is bright with the cries of birds – oystercatchers, curlew and redshanks. It feels remote, but in the 18th century Sunderland Point was a bustling port for Lancaster's transatlantic trade, which brought prosperity but also inhumanity. A walk round the peninsula leads to the grave of an unknown child slave abandoned here in 1736, now adorned by visitors with painted stones.

Culmore Point is where Derry's River Foyle meets the North Atlantic. Some days you can see a line in the water where the silt-filled Foyle meets the sea. Beautiful old-money houses look out across the water to a power station and chemical plant. Farther downstream the weird treeless landscape of the reclaimed land of Eglinton Embankment catches the eye. Spare a thought too for the young men who trained on these river beaches in May 1944 for the Normandy assaults a month From West Kirby on Wirral, you can walk across the tidal flats of the Dee estuary to the red sandstone formations of Little Eye, Middle Eye, and Hilbre Island, a string of uninhabited islands offering naught but spectacular nature. In summer you can spot grey seals hauling themselves on to sandbanks, and three types of terns (common, little and sandwich) darting past. Listen out for skylarks and meadow pipits too. For an extra challenge, search for the Triassic-era Chirotherium footprint. Always check tide times carefully, and for extra awe, time your return to the sun setting low, framed by the distant Welsh Cycling along the North East Coastal Trail from Portsoy to Macduff in Aberdeenshire is my idea of heaven. In stunning coastal countryside you cycle through charming fishing villages with historic harbours. I've spotted dolphins, porpoises and seals on the route. On a rocky coastline just beyond Macduff, there's an old tidal pool at Tarlair. Though no longer used for swimming, its beautifully restored art deco tea pavilion is the perfect spot to refuel before your journey back. While there, take a short wander to the secluded Salmon Howie beach tucked behind the cliffs – it's such a beautiful Diender When, as a child, I read Z For Zachariah, I imagined a landscape with the exact fin-du-monde energy of the East Yorkshire beach from Ulrome to Bridlington. On this stretch of Holderness, you'll find neither the Norfolk chalk boards of iced latte and shakshuka nor the monastic ghosts of farther north. But if six miles of uninterrupted beach walk – in the company of nothing more glamorous than pure air, weather and proper decay (not the genteel sort) – is your thing, this is a place you should visit.
