Sliker is being accused of scamming viewers into handing over valuable CS2 knives with promises he allegedly failed to fulfill.

MANCHESTER UNITED fans have been left fearing they could be RELEGATED after falling to a dismal defeat to Tottenham.

James Maddison‘s first-half rebound was enough to separate the two teams as the Red Devils fell to 15th in the Premier League.

Man Utd fans fear relegation is looming for the team[/caption]

The result has left Ruben Amorim‘s side 10 points above the relegation zone.

But their 12th defeat from 25 league games has also highlighted a very bad omen for Man Utd.

According to OptaJoe, the 12 defeats are the most from their first 25 matches of a league campaign since 1973-74.

That season in the old First Division saw the tally stand at 13 defeats.

And that season saw Man Utd relegated from the top flight.

Reacting to the ominous figure, one fan said: “Relegation looming.”

A second said: “They’re sure to be relegated this season as well.”

A third added: “Relegation Reds.”

Another said: “And so we should be. It has gone on for too many years this. A name alone can’t win the league yet many seem to think because we are Man Utd that we should. Glazers have killed the club year after year.”

A fifth joked: “They break records every season.”

Man Utd’s plans for the game were hit by severe disruption as SIX stars ended up being ruled out, four through injury and two more through illness.

Amorim ended up selecting eight teenagers on the bench against Spurs, with seven coming directly from the academy.

However, he inexplicably made his one and only roll of the dice in injury time by bringing on Chido Obi for Casemiro.

Fans labelled the 40-year-old a “coward” for the decision, with many believing the Carrington products could have offered more than some of the senior stars on the pitch.

It was also a move which seemingly rejected the club’s motto: “Youth, Courage and Greatness.”

Meanwhile, Jamie Redknapp has warned Man Utd to expect another 18 months of pain as they need a full cultural reset.

DANCING on Ice has sent home its latest star after an incredibly tense skate-off.

EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks and footballer and pundit Anton Ferdinand found themselves in the dreaded bottom-two.

Charlie Brooks became the latest celebrity to be given the boot after failing to win over the judges support after being sent into the dance-off with Anton Ferdinand.

After both delivering their night’s routine once more, it was down the the judging panel – Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo – to have their say on who should be going home next.

Ashley, Oti and Jayne opted to eliminate Charlie meaning that no vote from Chris was required.

As this week’s head judge, Christopher Dean had the responsibility of making the casting vote and although it was not required, he insisted that he would have voted to axe Charlie as well.

It was Anton’s second time in the skate-off but the first for soap star Charlie.

Speaking alongside pro partner Eric Radford, Charlie admitted she was ready to leave the show.

Talking to the programme’s hosts, she revealed that she had begun to feel “out of her depth” as she confessed that she was the “right person” to go home.

They became the sixth star to exit the contest after Love Island star Chris Taylor skated away last week.

The current series of Dancing on Ice has not been without its shock eliminations with two of the stars expected to take the crown being booted out in the first two weeks.

Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey was eliminated first and she was quickly followed by ITV reality star Ferne McCann.

Comedian Josh Jones was also forced to pull out owing to injury whilst Sir Steve Redgrave also was shown the door after being consistently at the bottom of the leaderboard.

SELENA Gomez awkwardly struggled to read out a winner’s name during tonight’s prestigious BAFTA award ceremony.

The pop star took to the stage to present the award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer with fellow actress Zoe Saldana.

The pair were given the task to open the envelope and read out the winner’s name.

The nominees included movies Santosh, Kneecap, Money Man, Hoard and Sister Midnight.

Ahead of announcing the winner, Selena, 32, and Zoe both said: “And the Bafta goes to…”

Zoe then reached to open the gold envelope but it followed an awkward silence, as Selena told Zoe: “You read it.”

Zoe then replied: “You read it.”

They continued to pause, with Zoe glancing over at Selena to check if she was going to announce the winner.

Selena then glared at the paper but whispered: “I don’t know what is says.”

The Calm Down singer then spotted the name on the card and quickly apologised, telling the audience: “Sorry, Kneecap… Rich…”

The camera then cut to Kneecap director and writer Rich Peppiatt, who was seen celebrating in the audience.

The moment did not go unnoticed by fans, with one viewer writing: “What happened to Selena Gomez there.”

A second posted: “It looked like she couldn’t pronounce the winner’s name.”

Despite the accidental hiccup, the People You Know songstress quickly recovered as she presented the award to the winner.

Selena looked sensational in a silver gown with black detail around the chest.

She wore her hair in a classy updo and finished her glamorous look with a subtle makeup.

The star was joined by a string of famous faces, including James Norton, Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.

But it looks like the celebrities won’t be partying into the night after a huge pre-Baftas bash at the Chiltern Firehouse was cancelled at the last minute after a devastating fire broke out at the venue – a favourite with Hollywood’s elite.

Guests of Netflix, including American A-listers including Selena Gomez, 32, and Zoe Saldana, 46, were thought to have suites booked at the hotel.

Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park, CBE, is also understood to be due to check into the venue ahead of Sunday’s ceremony.

A source said: “This is the ultimate nightmare for Netflix and organisers.

“Every year they spent tens of thousands of pounds to put on the biggest and best BAFTA afterparty around.

“Right now everything hangs in the balance while they get the blaze under control and assess the damage.”

DANCING on Ice has found itself embroiled in a ‘fix row’ after fuming fans were left raging at the show’s judging panel and insisted they were repeatedly ‘under-marking’ one star.

The ITV show was awash with backlash when Springwatch presenter Michaela Strachan took to the ice.

Despite having topped the leaderboard at the start of the series, the TV star’s scores have since been beaten by many of her co-stars.

But this has left a bad taste in fans’ mouths after they insisted she is one of the best celebrities to take to the ice in years and exclaimed that she has “winner’s potential”.

During tonight’s show, Michaela opened the show alongside her pro partner Mark Hanretty as they skated to Venus by Bananarama.

Whilst the pair managed to get a respectable 34 out of 40 – they eventually landed second to bottom of the leaderboard following the first round of skating.

It led many fans to quip that the show judges’ scoring of the star has repeatedly decreased despite the fact they think the performance should have received top marks.

Lashing out at the programme, one enraged viewer slammed the decision on X as they said: “SICK of them undermarking Michaela.

“She’s one of the best skaters they’ve had in years and ever since they told her to stop skating on her own as much the marks have stayed the same.”

Another added: “Michaela could have red,white and blue smoke trails coming out of her tutu like a red arrow and still not get a 10 from the judges.”

A third then penned: “I said this last week, but I feel the judges have really thrown Michaela.

“They criticised her for her solo skating / confidence and now she’s playing safe, which she’s being criticised for.”

Before a fourth went on to say: “Why do I get the feeling that the judges want Dan and Vanessa to win over Michaela and Mark?

“It’s like Beth Tweddle all over again, when the judges clearly wanted anyone but her to win for some bizarre reason.”

DANNII Minogue has revealed how close she came to losing her pop superstar sister Kylie to breast cancer.

Kylie, then 36, was diagnosed in 2005 and had a lumpectomy and chemotherapy before getting the all-clear the next year.

Recalling the ordeal, former X Factor judge Dannii, 53, said: “I remember when Kylie was really sick and there was the chance that we were going to lose her.

“As she recovered and the world was celebrating, we were all celebrating.

“I had lost my best friend to cancer and I was grieving. Celebrating and grieving.

“And at the same time, there were so many articles about women: What does she look like? How old is she?

“Because if she doesn’t look good for her age, she’s of no value to anybody. I just thought, age is such a privilege.”

Kylie, 56, launched her Tension world tour in Perth, Australia, on Saturday, ahead of UK dates in May and June.

About being part of a famous family, Dannii who posed in leopard print for Stellar magazine, said: “I guess we’ve forgotten what it was like before.

“We have such respect for each other, and love celebrating each other.

“We know that’s special. Not every family has that.”

GETTING rid of limescale isn’t always easy, especially from tricky areas like taps in your kitchen and bathroom.

But did you know you don’t need to fork out on pricey products to get the job done?

You can banish grim limescale with a bargain hack[/caption]

The secret ingredient is probably already in your kitchen[/caption]

In fact, the solution you’ve been searching for is likely already in your kitchen cupboards.

Because of minerals like calcium and magnesium in hard water, limescale can form when the water evaporates and and the minerals are left behind.

You can’t use any old products to banish limescale though, as the wrong stuff can damage your taps, depending on what they’re made from.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, cleaning expert Manish Jain, founder of professional cleaning services Ministry of Cleaning, revealed how you can use ketchup to keep your home limescale-free.

“Limescale is not only unsightly but difficult to clean and often requires a whole lot of time as well as expensive cleaning products,” he said.

“That is until now as few realise there are some household ingredients that make removing limescale from certain appliances and items quick and easy.”

According to the pro, ketchup works as a great alternative to harsh cleaning products because of it’s acidic nature.

It turns out the acid in ketchup is perfect for breaking down grime and limescale on your taps – who knew?

So, how should you use ketchup for the best results?

Start with a clean cloth and dip it into the sauce, then simply rub it into your tabs, the pro explained.

Let it sit to work it’s magic for a few minutes before rinsing it off.

The best part is that if you don’t already have some ketchup at home, this hack will cost you as little as 20p, since you can buy a bottle of the red stuff for just £1 in Asda.

And if you don’t fancy that, you can also make use of any lemons you’ve got lying around.

It turns out the citric acid in lemons can also break down mineral deposits, so they’re perfect for cleaning.

Just cut a lemon in half and rub it straight onto your taps before rinsing of minutes later.

OTHER TRICKS TO BANISH LIMESCALE

One clever cleaning fan took to the popular Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tip group on Facebook to share her personal favourite hack for keeping limescale at bay – and it’s only cost you 18p.

“So many people ask about cleaning cloudy stained shower screens,” she wrote.

“I’m a cleaner and never stop learning methods. I had the opportunity to do a before and after this week at work.”

According to the keen cleaner, a magic sponge is all you need to banish the white build-up on your shower screen.

“I do this method and the stains vanish every time,” the Facebook user said.

“I use a wet magic sponge (my holy grail!), wipe down with a wet microfibre cloth and buff to a shine with a glass cloth.

“Takes less than a minute. Hope it helps you all.”

The best part is you can snap up a multipack of magic sponges for just a couple of quid, making this hack a budget-friendly one.

 pack of 10 will set you back just £1.78 from Viking Direct, which works out at just 18p each – not too shabby at all.

Similar products are also available in most supermarkets, like the Flash Ultra Power Magic Eraser, which will set you back £3 for a pack of two.

CLARKSON’S Farm made him famous, and it looks like it’s helped to make Kaleb Cooper rich too.

The sidekick of Jeremy Clarkson on the hit Prime Video show has, of course, put in some graft along the way too.

Kaleb Cooper has announced he is expecting another child, pictured with Jeremy Clarkson on Clarkson’s Farm[/caption]

But judging by his bank account – which shows he has over £1.5m stashed away – the TV show hasn’t harmed either.

His main company, Kaleb Cooper Contracting, now has almost £1.16m in assets and his other firm, Kaleb Cooper Productions has £242,000.

On top of that he has K Cooper Retail and a new firm Cooper Livestock Ltd – not at all bad to say he’s still only 26 years old.

The timing of the new accounts couldn’t be better as the Cooper brood is rapidly expanding.

Kaleb, who’s already a dad to three-year-old Oscar and 19-month-old daughter Willa, announced, via Instagram, that his girlfriend is pregnant with their third child.

Alongside a picture of an ultrasound scan and a baby grow he last week posted the words: “Very excited to announce that’s baby number 3 cooking…going to be a very very busy August.”

His partner Taya, who he’s been with for eight years, also added: “So excited, can’t wait. Our family is growing.”

Fortunately the Cooper business is booming too.

Kaleb has previously revealed how he struggled watching Taya give birth in the past.

He explained that he felt ‘useless’ during fianceé Taya‘s labour as he didn’t know what he should be doing at the time.

He explained: “It was f***ing terrible, because when I’m helping that cow, I know exactly what I’m doing. I can bring the calf around to the mum and so on. 

“Now, when Taya was giving birth, I felt useless. I’m seeing her in pain having one of my kids.”

AN ICONIC retailer with 1,100 stores across the UK has closed one of its major branches for good – leaving fans in tears.

The closure comes as the retailer struggles to adapt to shifting shopping behaviours and mounting economic pressures.

WHSmith’s branch in Bolton’s Crompton Place has shut its doors for good on Saturday, 15 February.

The well-loved store is said to have closed due to redevelopment plans, according to company officials.

A spokesperson for the retailer said: “We are disappointed to be losing our presence in Bolton and we would like to thank all our customers for their support and for shopping with us.”

Due to the closure, the stock of the store has been reduced to 75 per cent discount.

A member of staff Aaron Highet said: “It has been such a good experience and I’ve enjoyed my time here.

“The customers come in with a smile and want to chat. The staff have been lovely and are brilliant to get on with.”

Another shopper Wendy told the Bolton News: “I’m very sad about the closure. I have been coming here for decades to browse the magazines, books and pens.”

Store manager Sara Goldthorpe said: “We have had a lot of customers say they are disappointed about the closure.

“Lots of them come in to use their National Book Tokens and with World Book Day coming up, they will have to go to another branch.”

This follows the recent closure of two other locations in the area, on Old Christchurch Road and in Boscombe.

WHSmith is also set to close its Newtown branch in Powys, bringing an end to nearly a century of serving the local community in the town centre.

A further nine WHSmith sites will close before the end of the first two financial quarters in:

• Accrington, Lancashire – March 15
• Halstead, Essex – April
• Halesowen, West Midlands – April
• Diss, Norfolk – April
• Newport, Wales – April
• Haverhill, Suffolk – April 26
• Stockton, County Durham – May
• Oldham, Greater Manchester – May
• Orpington, Greater London – no date given

Which stores have already closed?

Over the past two years, WHSmith has shuttered 15 stores, including locations in Manchester, Bicester, Somerset, and Sale.

In June 2023, WHSmith confirmed it would not be opening any more high street branches in a blow for shoppers.

The retailer said opening more high street stores would “just be a duplication”.

It added it intended to focus on expanding its portfolio outside the sector.

Here’s the full list of stores which have closed over the past few years:

• Crewe, Cheshire – March, 2023
• Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire – March, 2023
• Bicester, Oxfordshire – August, 2023
• Manchester – December 2, 2023
• Alfreton, Derbyshire – January, 2024
• Ramsgate, Kent – January, 2024
• Oban, Argyll and Bute, Scotland – February, 2024
• Nantwich, South Cheshire – February, 2024
• Margate, Kent – April 20, 2024
• Sale, Manchester – September 2024
• Bournemouth – October, 2024
• Bournemouth Old Christchurch Road, Dorset – January 18, 2025
• Luton, Bedfordshire – January 18, 2025
• March, Cambridgeshire – January 25, 2025
• Basingstoke, Hampshire – February 1, 2025

What else is happening at WHSmith?

The retailer is actively seeking to offload its entire high street estate in order to focus on its fast-growing travel business of shops in airports and train stations.

WHSmith is working with advisers at Greenhill Investment Boutique. 

It is hoped that a deal can be reached within three months, according to sources.

Potential buyers circling the retailer, which opened its first London shop over 200 years ago, include retail turnaround specialists Hilco and Alteri, along with Doug Putman, owner of HMV, and Modella Capital, owner of Hobbycraft.

Investors have not wanted WHSmith to spend any more money on its high street arm, which has no real growth prospects. 

Russ Mould at AJ Bell said; “Exiting makes strategic sense and there have been plenty of clues it would happen one day soon.

“The travel arm is where most of the profits are made. It makes sense to sharpen the focus on what a company does best by offloading less important interests such as the high street operations.”
