Engagement announcement

In September 2024, Abigail announced the happy news of her engagement to Dan at the German Darts Championship 2024.

She received the happiest of surprises as she was preparing to cover another Euro tour.

The TV star’s partner Dan proposed and she said yes while seemingly enjoying a cold pint.

Abigail even joked that she initially thought the ring was for darts star Steve Beaton.

She tweeted: “I think he bought this ring to propose to Steve Beaton but I’ll take it…

“Of course it happened at a Euro Tour.”

Amazing Abigail

Abigail has significant fanbase across social media, with almost 40,000 followers on Twitter alone.

She inspired people all over the world when she bravely lifted the lid on her anorexia battle after working at the World Darts Championship.

Abigail said: “Went to The Priory the day before the World Championship started.

“Final question before I left: ‘Can you promise you’ll keep yourself alive over Christmas?’

“So yeah, proud for doing what I needed to, to deal with anorexia/suicidal thoughts.

“Posting this for everyone in the same boat. We’ve got this.”

You're Not Alone

EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide

It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.

It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.

And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.

Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.

That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.

The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.

Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.

If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:

Kasey Keller: Postecoglou’s attitude to Fraser Forster’s style is “bad coaching” – and why Spurs must spend to compete

KASEY KELLER says Ange Postecoglou is wrong to force Fraser Forster to play out from the back when it is not his natural game – and urged the Spurs boss to develop a Plan B.

While ex-Tottenham stopper Keller also says it is unfair to expect Champions League results of his old team when they are not spending Champions League money.

Forster, 36, has stepped into the breach after No1 Guglielmo Vicario fractured his ankle against Manchester City last month.

The England goalie, set to start against old club Southampton on Sunday, has made some top stops but looked uncomfortable passing out in Postecoglou’s possession game.

Keller feels Postecoglou persevering with the tactic is an example of how he stubbornly refuses to switch up his approach.

The American, 55, told SunSport via William Hill Vegas: “If your No1 goalkeeper has strengths and your back-up goalkeeper has different strengths, then you’re going to have to make adjustments. That’s what coaching is.

“You don’t just get to go, ‘You all play like this world all-star team’. No, it doesn’t work that way.

“That’s not on Fraser, that’s on Ange. You’re not going to ask your striker to play like Erling Haaland. ‘You go play like Erling Haaland’. ‘Well I can’t do that’. ‘Why not?’

“It’s no different from a goalkeeper. Your goalkeeper has his strengths and weaknesses just like every other player.

“Then to ask him to do something that isn’t fair to him, that’s just bad coaching. I’m sorry.”

Postecoglou has copped flak for sticking religiously to his way of playing, despite a crippling injury list denying him some of his stars.

It has contributed to a wildly inconsistent season, with Spurs heading to St Mary’s on Sunday having lost seven games in the league already.

Keller added: “The criticism of Ange has been there is no Plan B. That’s great when Plan A is working every week.

“That’s part of the point with Forster. There has to be a Plan B within Plan A, because you don’t have the same players on the pitch every game and every player doesn’t have the same qualities and abilities.

“You’re always making little adjustments based on who is available, their form and confidence, your opposition.

“The day of ‘we play the way we play’, that’s great if you’re PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie and you’re so much better than everyone else. You can then say ‘they have to adjust to us.’

“But right now there’s so much competition in the Premier League and La Liga and the Bundesliga, you have to make adjustments based on who you have and who you’re playing against. 

“Those adjustments can be big or small. But that’s where you get paid as a coach. 

“Anybody can pick a team and put it out. But you have to work with the players you have and play the way that best suits the players you have.”

Postecoglou had the added headache after last Sunday’s 4-3 home defeat to Chelsea of vice-captain Cristian Romero taking aim at Daniel Levy and the Spurs’ hierarchy for a lack of investment in a TV interview.

The Argentine, who is out for six weeks with a quad injury, suggested the club’s powers-that-be must realise they need to spend like their Big Six rivals if they are to compete for the title.

Postecoglou said it was wrong of the defender to air his views publicly and revealed Romero later apologised to him for the comments.

Keller praised Levy for turning Spurs into an English football powerhouse – but feels the club do need to commit more financially to take on the best in Europe consistently.

The former Leicester man said: “I respect Daniel greatly. What he’s been able to do in turning the finances around and building the stadium, there is no question he deserves a lot of plaudits.

“But there’s a point where you have to say ‘Are we truly in a place to be able to compete financially with the other (big) clubs?’

“The worst thing for Tottenham fans was Leicester winning the Premier League because then Daniel was able to say, ‘Look, they have a much less budget than you and they were able to win’!

“But no, seriously, it really is a case where (former boss Mauricio) Pochettino was able to overachieve. 

“Challenging for titles, consistently in the Champions League for a few years, getting to a Champions League final, when your payroll was not at the level as the other Premier League teams in the Champions League.

“That’s brilliant. But to consistently ask for that, from a new manager, is putting the cart before the horse.

“You’re asking for something that should be considered an overachievement to be the standard. That seems a little bit unfair.”

Keller had a brief loan spell in 2004 at Southampton, who are rock bottom eight points from safety with boss Russell Martin sticking puritanically to his total football approach.

Keller added: “I played at Southampton for four matches so it’s hard for me to have a big overview, but I didn’t really think it was a fanbase that was like, ‘We want this over-entertaining football and we’re willing to go down instead of playing more pragmatically and staying up’.

“I don’t think that’s the case. I think they would love to see a team get back to where you’re consistently a Premier League side, then slowly bring in pieces that make you more attractive.

“Figure out how to be competitive, how to grind out results and then it will be easier to attract talent that can be more attractive.

“But you’re not going to do that by going up and down every year.”

Everyone can spot the football but you have 20/20 vision if you can find the five missing tickets in less than 9 seconds

CHALLENGE your intelligence and test your vision with this tricky brainteaser that only those with a 20/20 vision can solve.

You will be crowned a genius if you crack the puzzle in less than nine seconds.

Only a few people with great observational skills can solve this challenging brainteaser.

Everyone can see the football on the pitch – but the goal is to spot the five match tickets hiding in this bustling stadium.

And you only have nine seconds to complete the task.

So grab a stopwatch, set the timer and see if you have a perfect 20/20 vision.

But did you know solving such challenges can improve your intelligence?

Optical illusions are visuals designed to trick our minds and can be a simple IQ test.

They test our understanding of reality, depth and perspective as we try to understand what’s in front of us.

Studies have shown that people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles improve their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.

How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?

ENGAGING in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Optical illusions make a little bit more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and it is our brains that play the key role in creating images and trying to protect us from the potential threats around us.

Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world at the quickest pace it can despite the world being in 3D and the images on our retinas being in 2D.

It can be really difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you see so you can have quicker reaction times if the object you’re looking at looks dangerous.

When you look at an object what you’re really seeing is the light that bounced off of it and entered your eye, which is converted into electrical impulses that your brain then turns into an image.

Our brains can warp straight lines if an object in the middle of them looks like it’s drawing closer as it wants to emphasize the potential threat.

Different colours and light and dark can make the same-sized objects look different or make patterned images look like they’re spinning.

Some benefits include:

  • Cognitive stimulation: These activities challenge the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
  • Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
  • Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
  • Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
  • Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.

So before you start with this one, try and see if you can find the cheeky ghost trying to blend in within this party scene in a super quick time.

If you can then you have the watchful eyes of a clever spirit but beware they are very good at keeping secrets.

You can also try and spot all five differences between the two identical pictures.

Or have a go at finding the sausage that definitely shouldn’t be in with the fruit and vegetables.

Coming back to the challenge, were you able to solve it?

If you didn’t see it, look again carefully.

Here is a hint for you: put your gaze around the scoreboard.

Still no luck?

If you are still scratching your head trying to solve it, you can scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the solution.

If you were able to solve this twisted challenge in less than nine seconds, you are a genius with a perfect 20/20 vision.

If you found this puzzle too easy, try to find the hidden butterfly in this vintage scene.

Alternatively, you can also try finding the hidden monkey hiding in this image before the zoo closes for the night.

If you are interested in solving more such optical illusions, we have added a few at the bottom of the page so do not forget to check them out.

Scott Disick splashes out on mini Mercedes G-Wagon for son’s birthday as Kourtney Kardashian pays sweet tribute

Scott Disick splashed out on a mini Mercedes G-Wagon for his son’s birthday as Kourtney Kardashian paid a sweet tribute.

Expensive cars such as a Rolls Royce, and a Range Rover Sport already line the driveway of his Hidden Hills home.

Now, Scott, 41, has splashed out on another luxury automobile to keep at his sprawling California abode.

But this time, he bought a mini Mercedes Benz G-Wagon for his son Mason in honour of his birthday.

As his son turned 15-years-old yesterday, the former Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shared a sneak peak on his Instagram stories.

The mini black car had a huge bow on the top of the roof as it stood in front of his extensive collection of impressive motors.

Taking a number of snaps on his huge drive, he captioned the photo: “Happy Birthday big boy!

“Felt like it was only fair 4 you 2 get your first g wagon, even if it’s a mini g wagon, it’s still a wagon! Love u son!!!!!!”

He took a snap that was more of a close up of the car in question as he wrote: “Gotta be the coolest little wagon I have ever seen!

“You deserve every inch of it! Love you more than anything in life.”

His mom Kourtney Kardashian, 45, also paid tribute to her sons that she shares with Scott.

Mason is the eldest of Penelope, 12, Reign, 10, and another son Rocky, whom Kourtney gave birth too in 2013 with Travis Barker.

However, it just so happens that Mason and Reign were born on exactly the same date, just five years apart.

The Disney+ personality shared a number of throwback snaps of both of her sons together as they celebrated their joint milestone.

She captioned the Instagram album: “My birthday boys. So special to me it hurts my heart.”

Kardashian/Jenner kids

As of November 2023, there are 13 Kardashian-Jenner grandchildren.

Kourtney Kardashian has three kids with her ex Scott Disick: Mason, 14, Penelope, 11, and Reign, nine. In November 2023, she welcomed her first son with her husband Travis Barker: Rocky Thirteen.
