XOCCER AM – LLOYD GRIFFITH
SINCE Sky’s Soccer AM left our screens two years ago, its celebrity penalty shootout has been much missed.
But I can reveal the fan-favourite format has now inspired a copycat segment from Graham Norton‘s So Television.

YouTubeSoccer AM’s celebrity penalty shootout has been much missed[/caption]
Just like Sky’s original version, the new series will see a line-up of big names stepping up to the penalty spot to try to score.
But with comedian Chloe Petts in charge of proceedings, it will feature fellow comics only.
So far stars including Nish Kumar and Harriet Kemsley are on the team sheet.
A source said: “Penalties frequently provide some of the funniest moments in football, so adding comedians to that mix will bring about endless laughs.
“Soccer AM had big names like Stormzy, Ed Westwick and Louis Tomlinson desperate to be involved so everyone is very excited that this new spin-off could run and run.
“Chloe Petts is a genuine football fan and brings a wealth of knowledge, as well as humour. Filming begins this week in London and everyone can’t wait to see how it turns out.”
In an increasingly common move, the series is first heading to YouTube.
The source added: “This kind of content lends itself brilliantly to a short-form media and so will live online for now.”
Soccer AM ran for 29 years on Sky until it was shelved in May 2023 due to falling ratings.
As well as the penalty spot, other segments included the Nutmeg Files, Unbelievable Tekkers and the Crossbar Challenge.

OASIS’ long-awaited reunion tour kicks off in just two and a half weeks, but don’t expect to hear reconciled brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher giving their first chat on Radio 2.
The station’s breakfast show host Scott Mills revealed he had a falling out with Liam in the late Nineties, when he felt the full force of the singer’s acid tongue backstage at Top Of The Pops.
News Group Newspapers LtdScott Mills revealed he had a falling out with Liam Gallagher in the late Nineties[/caption]
Scott hopes Liam’s behaviour was just a sign of the times, when almost all stars were a nightmare to deal withBBC
In his memoir, Love You Bye, Scott recalled: “I’d met them before and chatted to them briefly, so I thought that might be a bit of an in.
“They were absolutely huge at the time and renowned for being outspoken. Their radio plugger took me over to Liam and said, ‘You remember Scott, don’t you? You’ve met him before’. Liam looked me up and down and went, ‘Yeah, he’s a c***’.”
Reflecting on it now, Scott hopes Liam’s behaviour was just a sign of the times, when almost all stars were a nightmare to deal with.
In an exclusive chat, he said: “The Liam Gallagher thing really floored me at the time, because I think it was, like, my second week at Top Of The Pops. “I think he’s completely changed. I actually think I am completely changed, but I think he’s probably a nicer man now.
“In the Nineties, it was the thing to be mean. All pop stars now are pretty nice. When I joined Radio 1 in ’98, a lot were horrible because that was the thing to do. It doesn’t happen any more.
“I can’t remember the last time I had an interview that was horrible, or that was hard work. Back then, I used to go down to Top Of The Pops and do the interviews every Thursday. Often, I would be like, ‘That was really hard work’, or, ‘I didn’t enjoy that because they were awkward or difficult, or just a bit unpleasant’.”
But I suspect that Edinburgh Council bosses will be seeing more of Liam’s unpleasant side if his messages on X yesterday are anything to go by.
It came after The Sun On Sunday revealed that local authority officials had branded Oasis fans “drunk”, “lairy”, “fat” and “old” in secret safety briefings ahead of their three sell-out Murrayfield megagigs in August.
Liam said: “To the Edinburgh council I’ve heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude fing stinks. I’d leave town that day if I was any of you lot.”
I couldn’t have put it better myself.
MARIAH REVERTS TO TYPE
THIRTY-FIVE years since hitting the charts with her debut album, Mariah Carey will pay homage to favourite songs from her back catalogue on her new record, the first since 2018’s Caution.
And the superstar, who wowed London’s Wembley Stadium when she headlined Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard, will have plenty to choose from across her 15 previous albums.
APMariah Carey wowed London’s Wembley Stadium when she headlined Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard[/caption]
A source said: “It’s been a long time coming but MC16 – which is what fans are calling the album – is some of her best work in years.
“Of course she’s moved with the times but a few of the tracks pay homage to where she’s come from. Fans will love it.”
Mariah dropped the first single, Type Dangerous, from the album earlier this month, but I’ve learned she is already lining up a remix.
The savage track sees Mimi sing: “I came in the door, dripped in Balenci’. Cropped leather coat and some nine inch Fendis.
“The crowd opened up and I started to strut. I need my space, but I’m signing autographs and such.”
My insider added: “If you thought the original version was fire, you’ve not heard anything yet.
“Mariah has secretly recorded a remix version with a top rapper which is coming out very soon.
“She’s keen to make sure this new era is a success and is really proud of the music she’s created.”
MILEY CYRUS is plotting a very different career if she ever she packs in pop. The End Of The World singer said: “My dream actually is for when I’m much older, I’d like to have my own glass shop in Italy.”
Asked if she has had any lessons in glass-blowing, she revealed it was the next thing on her to-do list following the release of her recent album Something Beautiful.
She told the Reclaiming With Monica Lewinsky podcast: “My very sweet partner, my boyfriend, he got me glass-blowing lessons for my birthday.
“So I’m supposed to start that as this next thing. The album, as it starts to kind of grow up, it’s going to be an adult soon. So I’ve raised it.
“It’s been my baby. Now it’s in this child state. And then it’s going to go off and do what it’s going to do without me.
“And then I’m going to start taking my glass courses.”
JADE rocked her performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard with the former Little Mix star opening the show at London’s Wembley Stadium before artists including Myles Smith, Benson Boone, Zara Larsson and Mariah Carey hit the stage.
I was watching the action from Barclaycard’s Summertime Suite and Jade absolutely nailed her set – with Angel Of My Dreams going down a storm with the crowd.

Jessie J also performed at the show which was her first public event after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
She told her fans she was having surgery in the coming days but used her trademark humour when opening up about her diagnosis, adding: “It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job.”
Jessie’s set was electric and she got one of the biggest cheers of the night – and rightly so.
Jessie, you rock.
SABRINA Carpenter has a fight on her hands if she wants to get Manchild a second week at No1.
Alex Warren has overtaken her song, which topped the Official Singles chart last Friday, with his runaway hit Ordinary.
Insiders said it’s a very close call at the moment, with Sabrina not far behind in sales and downloads.
Ches joined Rob on stage to perform his No1, The One And Only, before the pair flashed their bellies for fans.
Robbie said of Ches: “He’s a f***ing lovely bloke. He’s the best.”
I’ll join you in the fan club, Rob.
I love a bit of Ches.

JUST For One Day: The Live Aid Musical is set up in its new home at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre and it’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in ages.
It is packed full of hits from the iconic event back in 1985 including songs from Queen, Bob Dylan, Elton John, The Police and Status Quo.
Stage star Craig Els is uncanny as cantankerous Bob Geldof but it’s Julie Atherton who steals the show as PM Margaret Thatcher.

VIRGIN Island was all about helping 12 innocents pop their cherries on TV, but I can reveal that those behind the scenes faced a sex BAN.
The crew, including therapists Danielle Harel, Celeste Hirschman and the experts tasked with helping the cast let loose, were all under strict rules not to get any thrills of their own.

A source said: “Location shoots like this are usually a hotbed for hook-ups.
“But Virgin Island was no fun for anyone except the virgins.
“Production wanted to make them feel comfortable and unintimidated.
“This sort of crew sex ban is unheard of in the TV world, but is very responsible of Channel 4.”
A second series has been ordered after the show became the broadcaster’s biggest launch this year, averaging 1.4million viewers an episode and notching up 9million streams.

Figures reveal that the show – which sees Olivia look into cosmetic procedures and mummy makeovers – achieved its highest ever overnight audience, peaking at 349,000 viewers.

BRENDAN: IT’LL END IN TEARS
BBC Studios / Alan PeeblesPotty-mouthed Irish Mammy Agnes Brown[/caption]
THEY are two of the longest-running sitcoms on the BBC – and they show no signs of slowing down just yet – but their creators are already cooking up endings.
When discussing what was to come in the future, Mrs Brown’s Boys’ Brendan O’Carroll and Not Going Out’s Lee Mack admitted they have very different ideas of how they would wrap things up.
Brendan revealed: “I’d have the audience peeing themselves with laughter for 25 minutes and then crying their eyes out for the final five.”
But Lee Mack, who co-writes and stars in his series alongside Sally Bretton and Hugh Dennis, responded: “I’d do it the other way around!”
Brendan’s comedy about potty-mouthed Irish Mammy Agnes Brown launched in 2011, while Lee’s show featuring him and co-star Sally as husband and wife Lee and Lucy first aired back in 2006.
ACTRESS JOANNA VANDERHAM says she found her role as Diana Mosley in UKTV’s Outrageous harrowing. Diana, one of the Mitford sisters, married fascist Oswald Mosley, with Hitler as a wedding guest.
She said: “Certain lines of hers I found difficult. Her thoughts were so scary.”
SQUID Game’s third and final series lands on Netflix on June 27, but director Hwang Dong-Hyuk says the team struggled to come up with new sick games for it.

BAYERN absolutely schooled a part-time Auckland team containing teachers and uni students – even though goals-master Harry Kane did not net.
In embarrassing scenes for the competitiveness of this controversially-expanded Fifa tournament, Bundesliga champions Munich were six up by half-time.
ReutersBayern stars celebrate their Club World Cup opener[/caption]
APSacha Boey doubled the Bundesliga giants’ advantage[/caption]
The France star then turned provider to tee up defender Sacha Boey who drilled home on 18 minutes, sparking a three-goal rush in as many minutes.
On 20 minutes, Olise had his fifth goal in five games by slotting in a Muller cross after England captain Kane had miskicked the delivery in the middle.
Sixty seconds later it was four when Coman held off two defenders to find the corner.
Olise supplied the cross for Muller to make it five just before the break – and there was still time for the ex-Crystal Palace man to find the corner in style ahead of the interval.
Kane was subbed off before he could add his name to the scorers’ list.
But his replacement Musiala curled home a stunning seventh, won and converted a penalty for number eight and then pounced on a goalie error to roll in a ninth for his treble.
Veteran Muller notched for double figures late on for, unsurprisingly, the biggest win in this tournament’s history.
APHarry Kane somehow wasn’t on the scoresheet[/caption]
PSG won the competition outside the qualifying period of 2021-2024, but their Uefa ranking meant that behind Bayern Munich, they were the second best ranked side.
With only two spots per country, Atletico Madrid qualified ahead of this year’s semi-finalists Barcelona, after their performances in Europe between 2020-2024.

Cleveland PolicePolice have released the last known images of the missing girl[/caption]
A major search for the “vulnerable” youth was launched when she was reported missing but has so far failed to locate her.
Cops have now shared CCTV footage showing Serren leaving her home address.
The video is the last known sighting of the teen who has now been missing for a week.
The 18-year-old was spotted by a CCTV camera heading to the De Brus Way area at around 7pm on June 8.
Serren is described as 5’6” tall with brown hair and brown eyes, she was last seen wearing a brown coat with fur on the hood, a black skirt, black tights and black shoes.
Cops believe she headed towards theRedcarbeach area, near to Majuba car park/South Gare.
Cops have become more and more concerned for her welfare as the frantic hunt for the “vulnerable” teen reaches the seven day mark.
The youth’s disappearance was described as “out of character” for her.
The police have re-issued an appeal for information that could help locate her, asking members of the public who may have seen Serren to come forward.
Specialist officers have been drafted in to comb areas that the teen is known to frequent.
Any members of the public who may have seen Serren have been asked to urgently contact Cleveland Police on 101 quoting ref 105161.
Superintendent Emily Harrison said: “A week has now passed since the last confirmed sighting of Serren, and as time goes on we become increasingly concerned for her welfare, particularly given that she is vulnerable and this is out of character for her.
“Search-trained officers have been in areas where Serren was last seen and where she frequents, as we do everything possible to find her as safely and quickly as we possibly can.
“I would continue to ask members of the public to share the appeals to help us generate information and any sightings of Serren, and anyone who may have information is asked to contact us on 101 as a matter of urgency.”

BRAD Pitt wore a series of wacky outfits at the weekend — sparking speculation he was having a mid-life fashion crisis.
The 61-year-old actor, who previously stated he has no sense of style, left fans gobsmacked at his bizarre wardrobe choices.
GettyBrad Pitt rocked a very bold blue outfit as had a date night with girlfriend Ines de Ramon[/caption]
GettyBrad was earlier seen in cream and green cargo trousers[/caption]
He was out in New York on Saturday night with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 29 years his junior, in an oversized blue velvet blazer with a pinstripe shirt and high-waist jeans.
Earlier he was seen in cream and green cargo trousers before changing into a yellow tie-dye top and trousers to film a TV chat show.
Fans of the superstar — whose new film F1 is out this month — questioned his wardrobe decisions.
One asked: “Need to know wtf is going on with Brad Pitt’s wardrobe currently. Why is he wearing all that?”
Another replied bluntly: “Midlife crisis I fear.”
As the photographs spread on social media, another commented: “Need a decent stylist to help him choose clothes. Just because it’s in so-called fashion doesn’t mean it’s nice.”
However Brad has previously indicated he has little interest in wearing what is fashionable.
He said: “If I have a style, it’s ‘no style’. It’s led by comfort.
“It’s too exhausting to follow trends. And I despise billboards; I just don’t want to be billboard.”
Brad, who has six children with his ex Angelina Jolie, added: “You get older, you get crankier, and comfort becomes more important.
“I think it’s as simple as that.”
GettyBrad also changed into a yellow tie-dye top and trousers to film a TV chat show[/caption]

CALL the fashion police — it seems Brad Pitt is having an identity crisis.
The 61-year-old, voted the sexiest man alive multiple times, has stepped out in a series of questionable outfits, including head-to-toe tie dye.
Is he trying to look cool for his girlfriend who’s nearly half his age?
Because sadly it’s not working. Sometimes less is more with men’s fashion. Whatever happened to a well-fitting suit, or simple jeans and a T-shirt? Brad in the 90s had plenty of that going on.
Now he looks like he’s raided the fancy-dress box. Maybe he needs to go to Specsavers and enlist a stylist.
The LA team wore baseball caps that mixed Pride flag colors with the Dodgers logo.
Kershaw’s altered version of the hat still had the bright new “LA” logo.
But next to that, the 10-time All-Star had inscribed: “Gen 9:12-16.”
That’s a passage in the Bible that describes the rainbow as a sign of God’s covenant – an agreement between man and God.
And using the rainbow as a Pride symbol is opposed by some groups.
The Bible extract about the rainbow comes after the story of Noah’s Ark.
It tells of a covenant from God to never destroy the earth with a flood again.
The Dodgers upset a radical section of the Christian community two years ago by hosting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at their annual Pride Night.
The group regularly dress in drag and often wear nun habits.
And with Kershaw reportedly unhappy over that event, the Dodgers shifted their Christian Faith and Family Day to an earlier date.
But some baseball fans reckon the new controversy is a fuss over nothing.
One said: “The rainbow can have multiple meanings. Why can’t the rainbow mean both?”
Others were “disappointed” with Kershaw and urged him to “stick with sports”.
But a third group praised him as a “class act” for his subtle protest – saying it was “righteous comeback” and he was “sharing biblical truths”.
And a few other religious followers believe he should have gone further – by not wearing the cap at all.
