MARTIN KEOWN finally apologised for his iconic scream in Ruud van Nistelrooy’s face live on TV.

The former Arsenal defender famously celebrated wildly when the ex-Manchester United striker slammed his 2003 penalty against the crossbar.

Keown famously celebrated Van Nistelrooy’s penalty miss at Old Trafford in 2003[/caption]

Keown got right up to the dejected Dutchman following his miss in the final moments of the pulsating Premier League showdown between the Gunners and Red Devils at Old Trafford.

The no-nonsense centre-half has constantly defended his behaviour for more than two decades.

But as Keown and Van Nistelrooy were reunited at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, the ex-England defender did say sorry – although did not explicitly mention what for.

As Leicester manager Van Nistelrooy spoke to TNT Sports before kick-off against Arsenal, the pair put their past clashes behind them.

The duo shook hands for a long while and Van Nistelrooy asked: “Martin how are you? Good to see you.”

Keown replied: “Nice to see you after all these years.”

Van Nistelrooy, 48, added: “It has been a while. I have seen you once, at Villa Park, remember?”

Then Keown offered out his olive branch.

He said: “Apologies for all the shenanigans that went on back in the day.”

But Van Nistelrooy clearly holds no grudges.

He responded: “Nah. What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.”

Joe Cole piped up: “He’s never apologised for kicking me, ever.”

Keown, 58, then joked: “I thought you were going to stamp on me.”

Van Nistelrooy then added: “I’m happy to have him in front of me, not in the back of me.

“It was good. It was a good rivalry, wasn’t it?”

Keown quipped: “Great days. I’m glad you’re standing there and not next to me because you used to love to stand on me.”

Van Nistelrooy laughed: “I would like to block you – and then fall over.”

The panel then briefly discussed Van Nistelrooy and TNT host Lynsey Hipgrave climbing mountains in Rio de Janeiro together – before moving on to the task at hand for the relegation-threatened Foxes.

Once Van Nistelrooy headed off back to the home dressing room, Keown denied he had really said sorry by asking: “Was that an apology?”

He then continued: “Since I’ve finished playing, the number of strikers I’ve had to apologise to…

“It was never personal – I treated every striker exactly the same, maybe a bit of extra special spice for Ruud.

“He was very clever, he would stamp on your feet, his movement off the shoulder, really clever.”

Fans on social media enjoyed the interaction from the two old foes.

One said: “Class act from both.”

Another wrote: “Heartwarming banter. Love it.”

A third added: “Actually quite nice to see a moment like this.”

And a final user posted: “Glad he finally admitted to diving. Such a cheat when he was a player.”

Others referenced the infamous “sorry” scene from The Inbetweeners, one labelled Keown “soft” and plenty tweeted the clip to Simon Jordan to add fuel to his rivalry with the former Arsenal man.

AFTER weeks of mystery and guessing, The Masked Singer will air its series six finale TONIGHT.

Fans will finally learn who has been masquerading as Wolf, Pufferfish and Dressed Crab on the hit ITV show.

So far, there have already been several hints – with viewers theorising who could be behind the masks.

Here is a look back at everything we know about each finalist so far.

Wolf

ITV

Wolf has impressed with his vocals throughout series six[/caption]

Throughout series six, Wolf has sang renditions of Let’s Dance by David Bowie, Copacabana (At the Copa) by Barry Manilow, The Candy Man by Sammy Davis Jr and Birds Of A Feather by Billie Eilish.

In the semi-final, he performed Suddenly by Billy Ocean, as well as Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House.

Some clues revealed in the VT packages have included references to being a lone wolf, reminiscing about the good old days with the gang, and having a very long career that involved joining forces.

The items in their VT included colourful umbrellas, wool, a book of bedtime stories, a spy glass and a map of Egypt.

Meanwhile, the judges have suggested an eclectic selection of names as possibilities for Wolf.

Tony Hadley, David Tennant, Mike Skinner, Hugh Jackman and Donny Osmond are among the stars mentioned.

Fans, however, seemed certain early on that they’d nailed who was under Wolf’s mask.

They believe it is former Wet Wet Wet frontman Marti Pellow.

Marti, 59, was the Scottish group’s lead singer for 28 years and has also released solo music.

He recently appeared on Michael McIntyre‘s Big Show as an Unexpected (Star) Star of the Show.

One person pointed out on Reddit: They showed a photo of someone’s eyes, I know whose those eyes were and it ties in with my guess.

“The eyes are David Boreanaz, from Angel. Angel eyes was a song by Wet Wet Wet and Wolf is… Marti Pellow.”

Another added: “They played Wild Thing by The Troggs in the background. The Troggs wrote Love Is All Around.”

A third penned: “It’s definitely Marti Pellow.”

While a fourth chimed in: “It’s Marti, no doubt at all.”

A fifth simply stated: “Marti Pellow 100%”

In addition, Wolf performed The Candy Man during a week where the song choices were clues.

Eagle-eyed fans believed it was a nod to Wet Wet Wet‘s song Sweet Little Mystery.

Pufferfish

The powerhouse Puffefish is the last female competitor standing[/caption]

Thanks to her incredible singing voice, Pufferfish is the last remaining female contestant.

So far, she has performed Good Luck Babe by Chappell Roan, Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper and Lose Control by Teddy Swims.

In week six, Pufferfish treated viewers to a rendition of Don’t Rain on My Parade from the musical Funny Girl.

Meanwhile, the semi-final featured her singing What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish and One Night Only by Jennifer Hudson.

Some of the previous clues have hinted at a Stateside star, after Pufferfish referred to the Statue of Liberty and American football.

There has also been a rubber spider resting on a hairbrush, a pair of dice rolling a five and six, and a moment where Pufferfish was seen crushing a rubber chicken with a blue boot.

Fans seem fairly convinced that West End superstar Samantha Barks is behind the mask.

Has Samantha Barks been Pufferfish all along?[/caption]

Samantha, 34, rose to fame in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s BBC talent show I’d Do Anything.

The programme searched for an actress to play Nancy in a revival of Oliver!

She made her film debut in the 2012 adaptation of Les Miserables, starring Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway.

One wrote on Reddit: “Firstly, the voice is very similar.

“Watch her BGT performance of ‘Let It Go’ and you’ll see what I mean – she has even got on her knees before whilst performing, which we saw in Good Luck, Babe last week.”

“Next, it has to be said from someone who has seen Pufferfish live in studio, that she has an incredibly tiny stomach despite wearing a corset.

“From what I’ve seen, Samantha has the same physique. I’ve also seen pictures of her wearing corsets and everything seems to be near enough an exact match!”

Another agreed: “I think Pufferfish is Samantha Barks!”

While a third penned: “Pufferfish is definitely Samantha Barks.”

Dressed Crab

ITV

Both the panel and viewers seem to agree Dressed Crab is a US star[/caption]

Dressed Crab’s powerful performances have seen him through as the lone survivor from Group A.

So far, the crustacean has sang Lean on Me by Bill Withers, Let’s Groove by Earth, Wind & Fire, Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz and California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and The Papas.

For the semi-final, Dressed Crab delivered renditions of Suddenly by Billy Ocean, as well as Hit The Road Jack by Ray Charles?

The Masked Singer has hinted Dressed Crab is an American actor, previously showing an American football helmet, NFL insignia, and a film roll.

There’s also been suggestions they’re known for their fashion sense, stating: “This Dressed Crab is the style of the season, and like all great trends, I’ll just keep coming back”

However, there’s also been suggestions they could be connected to the Marvel Universe and riddles.

Some previous suggestions include  ex-NFL linebacker Terry Crews, ex-Strictly star Jason Bell, Randy Newman, Billy Porter, Billy Ocean or Clarke Peters.

But just who is behind the mask?

From very early on, many viewers have been convinced it’s Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Gregory Porter.

The 53-year-old has specifically twice won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album – in 2014 and 2017.

In addition, the musician is also known for his recognisable newsboy-style cap.

One confident fan posted how it was “obviously” Gregory underneath the mask.

While another commented: “Seems like it’s definitely Gregory Porter.

“I believe he played American football at university too, which would tie in with the football helmet clue.”

A third said: “Not because of the clues (and to be honest I only half listen to them) but I instantly thought it was Gregory Porter.”

The Masked Singer airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

A BRITISH couple being held prisoner by the Iranian regime has been named.

Craig and Lindsay Foreman, both in their early 50s, were on a motorbike trip around the world when they were arrested by Iranian officials in January.

News that they were being held on unspecified charges emerged on Thursday, when it was reported by Iranian state-run media.

The regime released a blurred out photo of the couple, and now their identities have been revealed.

The Foreign Office released the following message on behalf of the family:

“We would like to take this opportunity to address the distressing situation concerning Craig and Lindsay Foreman who are currently being detained in Kerman, Iran. This unexpected turn of events has caused significant concern for our entire family, and we are deeply focused on ensuring their safety and well-being during this trying time.

“We are actively engaging with the British government and relevant authorities, working diligently to navigate the complexities of this matter. The family are united in our determination to secure their safe return. We truly appreciate the outpouring of support from friends, family, and the community, which has provided us with strength and encouragement as we face this ordeal.

“In light of the circumstances, we kindly ask for the utmost respect regarding our family’s privacy. The emotional burden of this situation weighs heavily on us, and we request that all media inquiries be directed to the FCDO as we manage this challenging chapter in our lives.”
