Scroll down to read how you can tuck into your favourite flavour crisps for just 17p a packet SUN SAVERS Four savvy ways to host a gathering for less this summer NOT going to Glastonbury? Don't worry. The hottest ticket this summer is in your own garden, with six in ten people saying they host at home more because it has become so expensive to go out, according to MoneySuperMarket. So get Glasto on the TV and get the Great British party started with these easy ideas. Advertisement 7 The hottest ticket this summer is in your own garden, providing you follow our top tips Credit: Getty HAT TRICK: Give your guests a dress code, loosely linked to dates in the summer calendar. For example, you could get everyone to wear hats, Ascot-style, or opt for a tennis-themed party for Wimbledon. For Glasto-in-your-garden, ask guests to wear their favourite band T-shirts. CUT-PRICE COCKTAILS: Prepare jugs of summer drinks with cheaper alternatives to the well-known brands. Advertisement Instead of Pimm's, which can cost up to £18 for a 70cl bottle, find Austin's Classic Summer Punch from Aldi, Tesco's Summer Cup or Asda's Summer Punch for under a tenner. Instead of Aperol, which is usually around £17, you could try Bitterol for £6.99 at Lidl or Aldi's Aperini for £6.79. CHAIR SHARE: Instead of buying extra garden furniture, ask a few friends to share theirs or bring them if they are joining you. That way everyone will have a spot to sit without it costing a penny more. Advertisement Buy items you will likely use again, such as garden lighting, but maybe hold back on pricey gazebos or fire pits. Borrow from a friend or rent at You can hire a small gazebo from the lending site for around £10-£15 a day. TEA IT OFF: A twist on a British tea party is easy to pull off on a budget. Think cucumber sandwiches, easy cup cakes and scones with jam. Advertisement You can make your own scones for pennies with self-raising flour, sugar, milk and baking powder, or buy a pack of scone mix from Sainsbury's for £1.

When stars sell addiction: The price of Drake's poisoned partnership
Drake's deep investment in gambling has become the subject of sobering social media posts from the Canadian rapper. Publishing a screenshot of his losses to his Instagram Stories this week, the Hotline Bling artist revealed he had gambled nearly $US125 million in the past month — and was down more than $US8 million. 'Losses are so fried right now … I hope I can post a big win for you all soon cause I am the only one who has never seen a max,' he wrote. 'These guys max once a week.' The post comes amid Drake's ongoing multi-million-dollar partnership with crypto betting platform Stake. The deal, inked in early 2022, reportedly earns him up to $100 million annually in promotional and ambassadorial fees. In an announcement post on the online casino said: 'Music sensation, Drake, has been a long-time member of the Stake community. A player storming the high ranks of the VIP program, Drake fell in love with both the platform and the perks associated with our VIP program. It was then that this partnership was formed, based on mutual appreciation between mega-star and product.' Just how front-of-mind is the Stake partnership to Drake? Stake's social handle is the first mention in his Instagram bio, before his own companies, including OVO and his Better World fragrance. What's more, during his most recent Australian tour in February, he staged an incident of him being bothered by a drone at his penthouse suite in Sydney. After clocking millions of views for the footage of him throwing a shoe at the drone, the choreographed placement of the camera in front of his laptop — with pride of place — made it clear it was an advertisement. Alarmingly, on the same day he posted about his losses, Drake also shared a clip of himself using AI platform ChatGPT to help decide which bets to place. In the 90-second video posted to social media, Drake asks: 'Should I try a $200,000 buy on [slot game] Puffer Stacks or a $100,000 buy on [wild-west slot game] Wanted?' ChatGPT recommended betting on Wanted. He followed the advice — and lost. 'OK Wanted didn't pay out at all,' he said in the clip. 'Do you think that I should give it another shot?' Later, he jokes: 'Imagine it's a Stake representative on the other line.' Loading Instagram Post Drake's posts raise a question: is he helping to highlight the dangers of addiction — or is he desensitising audiences to the real-world consequences, normalising multimillion-dollar losses and glamourising them as entertainment? Some fans were quick to criticise him in the comment sections. 'He really be losing millions like it's Monopoly money, meanwhile I cry when my card declines at McDonald's.' 'When you're down $8M and still chasing that one max win like it's destiny. The house always eats, even if you're Drake.' 'He should also share that it's almost certainly all house money from Stake that he bets.' Drake is far from the only celebrity making headlines for gambling Rapper Lil Baby has admitted to having a gambling problem, revealing on Lil Yachty's podcast that he lost about $8 million in a day — and quit gambling as a result. In January, Bruno Mars joked about his rumoured gambling debts, writing: 'I'll be out of debt in no time,' in a post about passing 150 million monthly Spotify listeners. In 2023, NBA icon Allen Iverson spoke candidly about blowing approximately $US200 million in career earnings on legal issues, alcohol and gambling. Back home, former AFL star Brendan Fevola lost millions to gambling — selling his Coleman Medal, declaring bankruptcy, and joining I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in a bid to rebuild his image. And Bert Newton, the late Australian TV legend, faced a gambling addiction so serious it nearly bankrupted him and wife Patti. He was more than $1 million in debt and given repeated ultimatums to choose between his family and the TAB. Australia has one of the highest rates of gambling participation and loss globally, with a significant number of people suffering from addiction or related harm. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Australians lose more than $30 billion annually to legal gambling — the highest per capita loss rate in the world.
