Tony Jones is DROPPED for Channel Nine's Wimbledon coverage after offending Novak Djokovic with wild comments at the Australian Open
Veteran Channel Nine sports anchor Tony Jones will not be part of the network's Wimbledon coverage this year after being involved in a controversy with Novak Djokovic during the Australian Open. Jones has been a longtime Wimbledon presenter for the broadcaster, but he will be watching the British grand slam from Melbourne this year. Nine will be using its London bureau during the tournament and will be flying local experts Todd Woodbridge, Alicia Molik, Sam McClure and Jelena Dokic over for commentary. Jones sparked controversy in January during a broadcast of the Australian Open when he made remarks about Djokovic and his Serbian fans, including the phrase 'kick him out,' which many interpreted as referencing Djokovic's 2021 deportation from Australia. 'Novak's overrated. Novak's a has-been. Novak, kick him out... Boy, I'm glad they can't hear me,' he said. Djokovic called the comments disrespectful and later boycotted a courtside interview with the broadcaster until he received a public apology from Jones. 'If I could turn back time, right, and I know we've all got PhDs in hindsight, I think the one thing where I overstepped the mark, and this is certainly what's really sort of angered Novak Djokovic and his camp, is the last comment I made in that back and forth with the crowd — 'kick him out',' Jones said on Nine. 'Now, I can stand here and put whatever spin on that, but it can only be interpreted as a throwback to the COVID years when he [Djokovic] was kicked out [over his vaccination status]. 'Now, that has angered Novak, which I completely understand now. So look, it has been an unfortunate situation. It's been one of personal angst for Novak. 'It's quite clearly personal angst for me as well. But I just think the priority here now is to focus on the tennis again.' Nine also issued an apology over the incident: 'Nine would like to apologise to Novak Djokovic for any offence caused from comments made during a recent live cross. No harm was intended towards Novak or his fans.' Serbia's ambassador to Australia, Rade Stefanovic, also expressed his 'profound concern' to Channel Nine at the time. In a statement, the ambassador said: 'The Embassy of the Republic of Serbia considers Mr Jones' comments [to be] totally inappropriate and disrespectful. 'Never has an Australian athlete been insulted and disrespected in such a way by the media or any public official in Serbia.' The tournament is set to start later this week, with the Serb superstar looking to match Roger Federer's record of eight titles at the event.

Simon Cowell flashes a huge smile despite getting 'lost' during sun-soaked outing on his £8K e-bike - five years after breaking his back in horror cycle crash
Simon Cowell flashed a huge smile despite getting lost amid a sun-soaked outing on his £8K e-bike in Central London on Sunday. The music mogul, 65, was spotted by a surprised fan as he cycled through the busy streets, before stopping to chat with them outside a pub. Simon, who broke his back after falling from a similar model in 2020, wore a black puffer jacket and shorts while shielding his eyes behind shades. In a clip shared to TikTok fans in a passing car were stunned to see the Britain's Got Talent judge and pulled over to ask if he was 'scared' cycling amongst the traffic. Cool as a cucumber Simon quipped: 'I got lost, but it's quicker' before promising them he would be safe as he carried on his journey. Earlier this month, the TV star revealed fearing he would never walk again following the near-fatal crash five years ago. Simon was thrown off an electric bike when he was testing the vehicle at his home in Malibu, California. He underwent extensive surgery after the shock accident including having a metal rod put in his back to stabilise it and he has overhauled his lifestyle in the years since. Now, Simon has spoken more about the devastating impact of the crash, revealing his surgeon didn't know if he'd be able to ' fix' his back due to the severity of the injury. Speaking to Elizabeth Day on the How To Fail podcast, Simon revealed he 'could have died' in the accident and his surgeon warned him he might never walk again. He shared: 'He showed me the X-ray and he said ''look, I'm not going to lie Simon, I don't know if I can fix this, which means you probably won't walk and secondly, the operation could take 11 hours''. 'They said the obvious - it could go wrong - and all I could think about was my family and everything. In that moment you kind of realise the most important thing is your health and don't do stupid things.' The former X Factor judge said the horror accident was a major 'wake-up call' about his 'crazy' lifestyle and taught him to stop taking risks in life. 'It was a wake-up moment, which is I'm crazy,' he explained. 'It kind of happened for a reason because I thought I was fit but then when I had to do all the physio after, just walking, they make you walk very quickly, I pretty much couldn't move and then I started to walk a lot and thought ''oh God, I was in a really bad place''.' Reflecting on the accident itself, Simon revealed he was thrown from his e-bike after it did a massive 'wheelie' due to the power of the throttle, and said he immediately knew he had broken his back. 'I shipped it in from England, couldn't wait to drive it. I was in the driveway and my son was there and I pulled the throttle, it did the biggest wheelie and it threw me like 7-8ft in the air,' he said. 'I landed on my back and the second I landed I thought ''s**t, I know I've broken my back'' because I could feel it. 'The first thing I did was ''can I move my hands?'', yes, ''can I move my feet?'', yes, OK, that's not too bad.' Though his surgeon initially feared he would be paralysed from the accident, Simon has made a full recovery and says he is now fitter than he was before the crash. He has since shed three stone and has gradually ditched smoking, which saw him have 80 cigarettes a day at the height of his habit. In 2023, he told The Sun: 'I was so close to living the rest of my life in a wheelchair, it gives you a completely different outlook on life. In a positive way. 'It hurt - trust me - when it happened, but good things happened off the back of it.' Simon said it led him to realise his health was 'more important' than anything else and he completely overhauled his lifestyle to find a better work-life balance. The accident also made him focus on his family life with his partner Lauren Silverman and their son Eric, 11, and he also cut down on his work amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Simon previously smoked up to 80 cigarettes per day before reducing his use to just two each day in 2017 after falling down the stairs of his London home. He used to work through the entire night, but he now refuses to work past 6pm or on his days off.

Campaign launched to bring only Turner oil painting of Bristol back to city
A fundraising campaign has been launched to bring one of the earliest works by JMW Turner back to the city of Bristol where the artist painted it when he was 17 years old. The Rising Squall, Hot Wells, from St Vincent's Rock, Bristol, had remained tucked away in private collections since it was last exhibited in Tasmania, Australia, in 1858. Last year, it was authenticated as a pivotal early work by Turner – after the artist's signature was discovered during cleaning. The piece, depicting the Avon Gorge before the Clifton Suspension Bridge was built, was the first oil painting exhibited by Turner at the Royal Academy in 1793 aged just 18. Bristol Museum & Art Gallery is now keen to acquire the work, which is believed to be the only oil painting Turner made of the city. It has launched a one-week public fundraising campaign, called Bring Turner Home, to raise £100,000 towards the purchase of the painting, which will go under the hammer at Sotheby's on July 2. If the bid is successful, the piece will become part of Bristol's public collection and go on display this summer. Philip Walker, head of culture and creative industries at Bristol City Council, said: 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring a lost masterpiece back to Bristol, a painting that connects our city to one of the greatest artists in history at a defining moment in his life. 'Turner painted this scene when he was just 17, inspired by the dramatic beauty of the Avon Gorge. 'Now, over two centuries later, we have the chance to bring it home where it can belong to everyone. We want this painting to be part of the city's story, accessible to all and inspiring to future generations. 'We know this is a hugely ambitious fundraising campaign with a ridiculously small window to raise the money, but Bristol is internationally renowned for its art and culture, and we just can't miss the opportunity to try and go for it. 'It would be an absolute travesty if Bristol's lost Turner is sold to a private or overseas buyer.' The council is believed to be the only public bidder attempting to secure the piece, which has an estimate of £200,000 to £300,000. Turner painted The Rising Squall during a visit to Bristol in 1792, when he became fascinated by the dramatic scenery of the Avon Gorge. It is based on an on-the-spot drawing found in Turner's Bristol and Malmesbury sketchbook, which he used on a tour of the West Country in 1791, and a watercolour the following year. The piece was bought by the Rev Robert Nixon, an early supporter of Turner who the artist used to stay with. Early biographies of Turner record that the artist painted his first oil piece in Rev Nixon's house. Rev Nixon's son, the Rev Dr Francis Russell Nixon, Lord Bishop of Tasmania, inherited the painting before it was acquired by the publisher Joseph Hogarth in the early 1860s. It went up for auction at Christie's in London in 1864 before going to a private collection in Northamptonshire until it was anonymously sold in April 2024. During that auction, at Dreweatts in Newbury, the piece was wrongly attributed to 'follower of Julius Caesar Ibbetson', an 18th-century artist. Restoration work then took place – revealing the signature 'W Turner' on the lower left of the canvas. Until that point, it had been believed that Turner's earliest exhibited oil painting was a piece known as Fisherman at Sea – which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1796. Bristol Museum & Art Gallery aims to exhibit the piece in as early as August this year, before it travels to Tate Britain for its major exhibition Turner and Constable in November. A council spokeswoman said: 'No council funding will be used to buy the painting. 'Instead, the museum is turning to the people of Bristol and supporters of art and heritage across the country to help raise the funds needed to ensure the painting remains in public ownership, rather than entering a private collection.'
