'He is my favourite person in the world': JoJo Siwa has thought about marriage to Chris Hughes
JoJo Siwa has had "so many thoughts" about marriage to Chris Hughes. The Dance Moms star struck up a romance with the former Love Island contestant on the British TV series Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year and revealed that she is missing him after returning to the US after spending two weeks in the UK at his home. Speaking to TMZ, JoJo said: "He is my favourite person in the world... It's beautiful, it kind of radiates. He's my favourite person and I am very grateful and very happy." The 22-year-old star admitted that she was missing her boyfriend and "wished he was there" with her. Quizzed on if she had contemplated marriage to Chris, 32, JoJo declared that she has "so many thoughts" about tying the knot. Siwa confirmed earlier this month that her relationship with Hughes was romantic rather than platonic and confessed that she is "absolutely head over heels" in love with the reality star. She told The Guardian newspaper: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way." The former Nickelodeon star also rubbished claims that her romance with Chris was just a "PR stunt". JoJo said: "Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much." However, the star - who was in a relationship with non-binary influencer Kath Ebbs before taking part in Celebrity Big Brother - can understand why others are intrigued by her and Chris being together. She said: "People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop. "I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them." JoJo has declared meeting Chris as the "best thing" that's ever happened to her and noted how her family have picked up on her change in demeanour since she competed on the reality show. She explained: "Ever since Big Brother, genuinely. Even my family is like, 'What happened in there?' "You know when you're alone, how you feel? You are your true, raw self. I've obviously felt like that before, but never around one single person."

Music in Hospitals & Care helping Carmarthen Breakthro'
Music in Hospitals & Care is marking Learning Disability Week by celebrating its ongoing work at Carmarthen Breakthro', a centre for children with physical and learning disabilities. Since 2023, the UK-based charity has been delivering inclusive live music sessions at the centre, supporting children aged four to 18. Emyr Baynon, coordinator at Carmarthen Breakthro', said: "The live music offers the children an opportunity to get involved and have lots of fun. "Chris and Holly really do appreciate the needs of the children… even if someone prefers to just sit and listen, they respect that." Musicians Chris Knibbs and Holly Robinson tailor each session to the children's needs and energy levels, making the experience both engaging and accessible. Mr Knibbs, a retired primary school teacher, said: "For a young group like this, we increase the speed of the music. "They've got loads of energy and they want to use it." The sessions are often the children's first experience of live music in a care setting. Chloe Baker, live music coordinator for Music in Hospitals & Care in Wales, said: "The beautiful connection between the children and the staff—trust, laughter, shared moments—is enhanced through live music. "Whether the children dance, clap, or simply soak it all in, music helps create a shared space where everyone feels valued."

Coldplay perform hit song for first time in 9 years
Coldplay treated concert goers to one of their most loved songs, after declining from singing the hit in nearly a decade. The British band was in Texas on June 14, performing to a huge crowd while on their North American leg of their 2025 Music of the Spheres tour. Towards the end of their concert, frontman Chris Martin announced to the crowd that they were going to attempt to sing a hit song from their 2005 album X&Y, Speed of Sound. 'To finish a good time here in El Paso, why don't we try and reclaim the song Speed of Sound?' which was met with an eruption of cheers from the crowd. He then promised that the band would at some point release a cleaner version of the song, admitting that he wanted to improve the tune. 'At some point, we'll do a proper edit of the song. Just do a remix, I'd like to make it a little bit quicker, a little bit shorter, a little bit tighter, maybe mix the drums slightly. 'You understand? And it'll just be a much better song, Will! I'm so sorry I messed it up when I was a young man,' he said, speaking to the band piano player Will Champion. He then said to the crowd: 'For those of you who were not born in 2005, here's Speed of Sound, it's not that good, but we're going to try and play it anyway!' The song was met with cheers from the crowd, who appeared to be delighted with this change in the set list and applauded the band. The Music of Spheres tour kicked off in 2022 and is scheduled to end at London's Wembley Stadium on September 8, 2025.

The hit was even nominated for two Grammy Awards and won an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song. It was the band's highest ever peaking song until Viva La Vida in 2008.

Paisley-born author swaps subsea robotics for crime as he launches debut novel
Chris Black has released his debut page-turner 'Capo' which is a sharp, character-driven crime thriller set on the streets of Glasgow. A Paisley-born author is swapping subsea robotics for the criminal underworld as he releases his debut novel. Chris Black, who works offshore as an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) supervisor, is delighted to have published his first debut novel 'Capo' –a sharp, character-driven crime thriller set on the streets of Glasgow. 'I wrote most of this between operations,' Chris told the Paisley Daily Express. 'Some of it in hotel rooms, some offshore, some back home in Dalgety Bay [in Fife]. 'I'd just sit down with a coffee, some music and chip away. It still doesn't feel quite real holding the final book. But it's live now, and that's surreal in the best way.' The novel follows Ezio Trevino, an ex-Royal Marine who's turned a run-down Glasgow bar into a live music venue with a few trusted friends – a dream life finally within reach. But Ezio has a plan already in motion: a final job designed to secure financial freedom and peace for the crew. When it goes sideways, it drags them deep into the city's criminal underworld and uncovers secrets Ezio thought he'd left buried in the desert. The former St Charles' Primary School pupil explained: 'It's about a guy who's done the hard stuff – desert ops, the brutal end of military life, and now he's finally got what he wants, good people around him, a bit of peace.' The book stands on its own as a complete story, but work is already underway on a sequel. Chris has mapped out a three-book arc, with teaser elements from book two included in the special edition. The 42-year-old said: 'There's a bigger world here and I wanted readers to feel it, even if they're just picking up this first one.' Although now based in Fife, Chris still makes the trip through to Paisley regularly as a 'lifelong' St Mirren fan. He said: 'It's where I'm from, all my family are in Paisley and me and my dad go to St Mirren games regularly, it's a big part of who I am.' Chris even served as the club mascot once as a kid. 'It was a midweek game against Rangers — Butcher, McCoist, all of them were there,' Chris explained. 'I'd picked Paul Lambert as my favourite player, even though he wasn't getting a game for us at the time. 'He'd already gone home that night but someone rang his landline and he actually drove back to meet me. Turned up in suit trousers and a tracksuit top, I've still got the photo. 'I was taking shots at Campbell Money in goal that night, too. You don't forget stuff like that.' Now published under his own imprint, Black Arts Development Ltd, Capo is available in paperback and Kindle formats on Amazon, with a signed special edition bundle, complete with classified case files and bonus material, available directly via his website.
