MARK SELBY came close to quitting snooker last summer as he battled with crippling mental health issues.
Eight months on, the four-time world champion has won two ranking titles and will head to the Crucible in April as one of the favourites.

The Jester from Leicester — who has suffered with depression all through his career — had a sit-down chat with his wife, Vikki, and pals and considered hanging up his cue after losing to Joe O’Connor in the first round at Sheffield last year.
After winning the Welsh Open on Sunday, Selby revealed: “If you’d asked me after that game at the Crucible would I carry on, I’d have probably said no.
“If you had put me on the spot, there and then, I’d have probably never played again.
“I spoke to friends and family and said, ‘I’m not really enjoying it . . . I cannot keep putting myself through it’ because it was making me even more ill.
“They were saying, ‘Why don’t you have a bit of time out? Don’t go anywhere near the table.’
“I spoke to my doctor and he said to me, ‘Whenever you feel like that, just pick and choose. I know you want to play in everything but you need to start putting yourself first.’
“That’s what I thought I would do and after the summer, I seemed to be in a better place.
“That’s not to say that from now until the end of the season, I might play in everything — that could easily turn.
“But if I’m in that position again like I was a couple of weeks before the last Worlds, I definitely won’t compete. It’s not healthy.”
Selby, 41, beat Stephen Maguire 9-6 in the Llandudno final to claim a 24th ranking success, following his British Open win in September.
Part of his £100,000 prize pot will go towards a Kindle book reader for his ten-year-old daughter Sofia — though he has little time to get one.
Tomorrow, he flies to the World Open in China, where he faces Liu Hongyu on Sunday.
The world No 3 added: “Confidence-wise, this win is great. But confidence is only good if you’re in a good place.
“If you aren’t in a great place mentally then that confidence is irrelevant because you won’t perform to a good level.
“At the moment, if I can maintain where I am, then of course I’ll go to the Crucible very confident.
“I’m enjoying the challenge out there — hence why I’m probably playing a bit better.”

MARRIED At First Sight star Luke Worley has been caught on camera proposing to a ‘mystery woman’ – but he claims she “said no”.
Luke, 32, was snapped on bended knee in front of a huge display of red roses with Dubai‘s Burj Khalifa in the background.
INSTAGRAMMAFS UK’s Luke Worley has shared a picture of himself ‘proposing’ in Dubai[/caption]
INSTAGRAMFans have been left baffled by the reality star’s photos[/caption]
Luke cryptically covered the ‘person’ he was popping the question to with a slew of red heart emojis and, even more bizarrely, captioned the photo on Instagram: “She said no .”
The former EEstore manager also posted a shot of himself on the terrace of a fancy restaurant that was taken late at night.
He is grinning in the picture and is holding a half-drunk glass of champagne. Luke captioned it: “Dinner with a view.”
Fans have been left scratching their heads as they try to understand what has gone on.
Some quick-thinkers have suggested he might have signed up to another series of the Married At First Sight global franchise, while others have branded the proposal ‘fake’.
One of his followers commented: “No box, no ring, no person…”
Another added: “She is very short and no shadow but whatever rocks your boat.”
A third said: “I propose to myself too sometimes .”
While someone else wondered: “I reckon his going back on MAFS.”
Replying, another follower agreed: “MAFS Australia .”
Luke appeared on the 2023 series of Married At First Sight and tied the knot with Jay Howard.
The pair appeared to hit it off, but cracks soon began to appear.
Jay admitted to her co-stars: “He literally basically just said, like, we are better off just being friends.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
“I asked him what he wanted, but he couldn’t answer the question.”
Luke soon moved on and went Instagram official with a new girlfriend in February 2024.
The reality star introduced his then-girlfriend Hannah Lynch to his followers by calling her his “rocket”.
During a fan Q&A, Luke was asked: “Are you still with somebody?”
Luke replied with a screen shot of the dating site Hinge and said: “Nope, back to the drawing board.”
He has not been pictured publicly with any potential girlfriends since.

4 weeks agoNew York StateComments Off on I’ve slept with 654 men & this year I’ll bed 1,000 like my pal Bonnie Blue – it won’t stop me getting a boyfriend
CONTROVERSIAL OnlyFans model who’s been dubbed ”the most sexually active woman in Australia” has revealed she’s searching for love.
Annie Knight, 28, who is friends with notorious OnlyFans performer Bonnie Blue, is now searching for her one and onlyinstagram/anniekknightThe 28-year-old, who claimed she slept with a whopping 654 men in 2024 alone, said she is ‘ready to get back in the game’instagram/anniekknightAccording to the OnlyFans model, the potential suitor will have to be ‘super secure’ and ‘non-judgemental’instagram/anniekknight
The young Australian blonde told her TikTok followers that she’s on the hunt for a boyfriend, adding that she needs someone who’d be ”super secure” – so she wouldn’t have to stop filming her sick and bizarre sex challenges.
‘’I want a boyfriend, I’m ready to find love, there I said it,’’ the Melbourne-based singleton announced.
‘’The girl who’s getting railed by a thousand people in a year wants to find someone to settle down with,” she continued.
”I just want to find someone who’s going to support my career. I still want to do my challenges so obviously they need to be super secure and non-judgemental.”
Annie mused that several potential Romeos may be apprehensive about jumping into a relationship considering her line of work and ”the way I go about it”.
The young Australian model – who’s been called ”mentally ill” by trolls – also claimed that when she had created a Hinge account, she had allegedly been inundated with messages from men who ‘‘were asking to be number 1,000’’ – referring to her goal of bedding with 1,000 men in 2025.
Annie unveiled her controversial plans to ”get railed by 1,000 people in total”, including ”taking 500 virginities” in a social media post last December.
But amid her dreams to reach quadruple figures of individual sex partners in 2025, Annie is also chasing a happy relationship, insisting that her promiscuous OnlyFans persona is ‘‘separate’’ from her real self.
”I know online I come across a certain way and, obviously, that’s all part of the branding when it comes to my OF, but who I am as a person is so separate from that,’’ she said in the TikTok post.
‘’Any of my friends will tell you I’m the most kind, caring, loyal, and generous person – that’s the truth and I pride myself on being all of those things, that’s how my mum raised me.”
Annie also revealed that she would do her best to resist the temptation and wouldn’t sleep with any of her dates until they had met up at least three times – but quickly joked that she ”shouldn’t have said that on the internet because they’ll stick through to the third date and probably leave me’’.
Last week, the controversial OnlyFans model told her 90.4k TikTok followers she was meeting a man who worked in real estate, which she described as an ”orange flag” – but said she was ”giving him a chance” regardless.
Who is Bonnie Blue?
Born in May 1999, Bonnie – whose real name is Tia Billinger – grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre.
She has two half-siblings – a sister and a brother – who have always remained out of the public eye.
She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad.
Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015.
She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager.
After school, she began working in recruitment.
In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15.
Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment.
However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a ‘cam girl’ – crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world.
She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week.
But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together.
She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there.
She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her “niche” of sleeping with young male students – such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University’s freshers week in September 2024.
Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans.
Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she’s her daughter’s PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie’s events – as well as handing out condoms to young clients.
In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event.
Annie first went viral after allegedly bedding more than 600 men in just one year – sometimes having sex with as many as ten blokes every day.
The young blonde, a former marketing executive who decided to open an OnlyFans back in 2020, claimed that her parents don’t have an issue with raking in thousands via the X-rated platform.
“My mum messages me daily telling me how proud she is for living my life authentically and not caring what anyone things, and my dad supports me no matter what,” she told news.com.au.
Annie has also been very vocal about the double standards she faces working in the industry- claiming while she’s labelled a “slut” men wouldn’t get the same abuse.
“Even if a woman has sex with two men in a week and was to talk about that openly, she would get shamed for it,” she says.
“The double standards between men and women when it comes to talking about sex are inordinate.
“Men get praised for sleeping around and women get shamed.
“Even in my industry, I have male friends who do exactly what I do and they talk about their sexual escapades online, and the comments on their posts are nothing but positive, especially from men.
“However, my posts are FILLED with slander and hate, from both genders, but particularly from men.”
4 weeks agoNew York StateComments Off on How Pep used the world’s best striker Erling Haaland as a decoy to set up Marmoush masterclass
PEP GUARDIOLA’S new signings can make a Real difference in Madrid as Manchester City’s ‘mini Rodri’ and Omar Marmoush look ready to start.
It was a case of Marmoush? You can’t handle Marmoush… for Newcastle at the weekend.
GettyErling Haaland played a supporting role as Omar Marmoush helped himself to a hat-trick against Newcastle[/caption]

GettyMarmoush turned on the style with his quickfire treble[/caption]
Here, Dean Scoggins from our brilliant Tactics Exposed show, explains how Pep destroyed Newcastle and what that means for the Champions League second leg on Wednesday.
HAALAND’S THE DECOY
Seems amazing – using the world’s best striker to be a decoy runner.
But that’s exactly what Guardiola did against Newcastle as Marmoush bagged a hat-trick.
Unselfish captain for the day Erling Haaland dragged Newcastle’s defence upfield and they kindly followed him to allow flying Egyptian Marmoush to run in behind for his first goal.
His third was more good work from Haaland – who cleverly took the defenders to the back post, allowing space in front of Marmoush for Savinho’s cross to find him.

MINI RODRI GLUES CITY TOGETHER
Nico Gonzalez gave a midfield masterclass that Rodri would be proud of, and Pep labelled him ‘mini Rodri’ after the game.
He’s not very mini at over 6ft and was dominant against a physical Toon.
But it was his ability to read the game that was so impressive – he is almost one pass ahead of everyone else.
He read where the next Newcastle pass was going and was there to press or cut it out.

Exactly 100 completed passes knitted City back together and kept them going forward against a stretched Newcastle.
EDERSON VOLLEYS
Another assist for City keeper Ederson showed his value, with that help from Haaland’s run.
But Ederson also hit some great passes out of his hands to the chests of the City widemen who maintained their width to stretch Newcastle sideways and loosen their grip on midfield.
The keeper also stepped into the defensive line to create an overload which meant Newcastle, who press 1v1, didn’t know whether to stick or twist.

SunSportHe is now clear at the top of the all-time assist list among Prem goalkeepers[/caption]
NOW A REAL CHALLENGE
City set up in attack with a 2-3-5 shape, with the right-back inverting into midfield to give them more dominance and Josko Gvardiol providing attacking width on the left.
But that often leaves them exposed defensively, as Real showed in the final ten minutes of the 3-2 defeat in the first leg.
With the emergence of Nico and Marmoush, who were both subs in the game, Pep could opt to make it a more 3-2-5 shape with Stones staying in defence from right-back to replace the injured Manuel Akanji.
Nico could be trusted to play the ‘2-in-1’ role that Rodri plays in attack and defence and it could be Kevin De Bruyne who misses out in attack to allow Marmoush to play in attack for direct balls with Haaland again.

Gerwyn Price was left out in the cold as Callan Rydz KO’d ‘The Iceman’PA
And on a day of shocks it was so chilly that even ‘The Iceman’ was stunned.
Gerwyn Price, the 2021 world champion, exited in the last eight of the Players Championship 3 against Callan Rydz.
Home favourite Michael van Gerwen didn’t even make it past the first stage, with Michael Flynn a surprise 6-4 winner.
And Northern Irish ace Gurney delivered an icy verdict on the setting.
England’s Chris Dobey went on to beat Jelle Klaasen 8-4 in the final, with The Players Championship 4 to come on Saturday.
But Gurney, 38, who was a surprise loser to George Killington in the last 64, believes conditions were unacceptable.
The two-time World Championship quarter-finalist said on social media: “Really disappointed with the playing conditions today in Rosmalen.
“The venue is freezing, and no consideration of the location for players.

THE controversial Cadbury Creme Egg cookie has returned to Domino’s menus – despite last year’s backlash against the sugar and fat content.
Furious politicians said the pizza chain’s bosses “should be ashamed of themselves” for introducing the sweet treat.
Domino PizzaThe cookies contain whole Cadbury Creme Eggs[/caption]
The 370-calorie cookies come in boxes of four and each contains a whole creme egg wrapped in dough.
The collaboration between Domino’s and Cadbury was branded “disgusting by Lord Bethell of Romford.
“This is disgusting. A whole Cadbury cream egg in a Domino’s Cookie.
“These are serious corporate food companies. What are they thinking?
“The executive team, the board and the shareholders should be ashamed of themselves.”
Despite this, Domino’s has excitedly announced that they will be added to menus from February 24.
Louise Pilkington, Director of Innovation at Domino’s said: “There’s a reason Domino’s Cookies made with Cadbury Creme Egg are back for the second year in a row.
“They were an instant hit last year, and we know you’ll love them just as much this time round.
“This partnership is a match made in dessert heaven. Combining our iconic cookies with the gooey delight of Cadbury Creme Egg creates an indulgent experience like no other. This is a delicious reunion not to be missed.”
A spokesperson for Domino’s said that their customers tend to share their cookies and added that they are no worse than many other high street treats.
“These special edition cookies bring together two much loved, iconic brands and are designed to be a delicious pre-Easter treat which can be shared,” they said in a previous statement.
“At just over 370 calories per cookie, they are in line with the content of many other treats available on the high street such as frappes and croissants.
“We know our customers love to share our existing cookies, and we expect they will do the same with the new Creme Egg cookies.”
The pizza giant also introduced smaller 600-calorie pizzas and wraps for under 450 calories.
It has also launched vegan dishes, adding: “We are serious about our role in helping customers manage their nutritional intake and maintain a balanced diet with less sugar, fat and salt, as well as fewer calories.”
The Sun has contacted Domino’s and Cadbury for comment.

POLICE are investigating the mystery death of a British cyclist found dead while on holiday with his partner in the Canary Islands.
The unnamed 55-year-old was discovered by a walker lying next to his bike on a road in Lanzarote after he went out for a ride.
The cyclist was found dead on a road near Guatiza, LanzarotePolice have launched a probe into the unexplained death
He was found dead on a stretch of Calle Vicente Guerra Street – between the village of Guatiza and the Spanish island’s east coast.
The walker raised the alarm just after midday and emergency services rushed to the scene, but tragically could do nothing to save the holidaymaker.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
His partner was waiting at their hotel for him to get back from the bike ride, and has received the tragic news.
The cause of his death is now being investigated by the Civil Guard.
Cops say there were no immediate signs of any injuries to suggest he had been struck by a car.
They are considering the possibility that he suffered a sudden medical problem whilst cycling and was unable to find help in time.
It’s not currently clear whether he had his mobile with him.
Investigators are awaiting the results of an autopsy to shed some light on his final moments.
A spokesperson for the local emergency services said they received a call at around 12:45pm about an unconscious man, and that two ambulances rushed to the scene.
The Brit was found at a spot around a 20 minute drive north of the Lanzarote capital Arrecife.
No more details about his identity have so far been released.
Cycling is a popular tourist activity on Lanzarote, where it suits all ability levels.
The roads on the island are generally well-maintained and lots of companies that offer rental bikes and guided trips.
Investigators are considering the possibility the man suffered a medical emergency on his bike and was unable to get help

DAVID BECKHAM recently posed in his pants for Boss and also had deals with Adidas and H&M.
But the footballer-turned-entrepreneur now looks set to give his fashion designer wife Victoria a run for her money with his own clothing company.

PABecks now looks set to give his fashion designer wife Victoria a run for her money with his own clothing company[/caption]
In paperwork seen by Bizarre, he has requested that the trademark cover “clothing, footwear and headgear,” which certainly makes it sound like he has his eyes on a fashion empire.
A source said: “David is a style icon so it seems like a no-brainer for him to launch his own clothing range.
“Obviously he can earn a fortune by doing deals to be the face of other brands, but this would give him real control.
“It is very early days but the fact that he has a logo sorted which he has trademarked is a clear sign that a clothing brand is something he is interested in.
“But unlike Victoria, his clothes are more likely to be casual sportswear rather than high-end designer gear.”
Last year he said his love for fashion had existed from a young age, but that he had been encouraged in more recent years by Victoria.
Ballet shoes
He explained: “My wife added to the fashion side of my life when we met 27 years ago but even before then, I was always into fashion.
“Even at eight years old when I was page boy at my mum’s friend’s wedding.
“She asked if I wanted to wear a suit or if I wanted to wear tights and a pair of ballet shoes and I chose the tights and ballet shoes.
“So in all honesty, I never feel pressure. I enjoy wearing suits, I enjoy wearing casual clothes but I never feel pressure to look any certain way.”
Probably best to steer clear of tights and ballet shoes for your own collection though, Becks.
Stars shine for a funny 50th
THE stars were out in force in London for the Baftas, but over in New York, there was an equally star-studded celebration on Sunday evening.

They both took part in skits in front of a live audience, with Kim sporting an auburn wig for a skit opposite comedian and director Kristen Wiig, who brought back her character Dooneese Maharelle for the night.
Meanwhile Sabrina purposely sang badly for a karaoke sketch which also featured Pedro Pascal and Bad Bunny.
Miley Cyrus, Anya Taylor-Joy, Emma Stone and Dakota Johnson were in the audience, as was Cher and her music exec boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards, after she performed at another celebration for the programme on Friday.
And proving nothing was off limits, Ryan Reynolds made a tongue-in-cheek joke about his wife Blake Lively’s lawsuit battle with her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.
In a segment which saw the hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler chat to celebrities in the audience, he was asked “How’s it going?” before shadily replying: “Great! Why, what have you heard?”
The camera then panned to Blake who looked in shock at the planned gag.
That whole saga is no laughing matter but I’m glad they can make light of it.
EMMA CORRIN still lives in a house-share despite starring in massive movies Deadpool & Wolverine and Nosferatu.

And it sounds like the pair plan to bring a little luxury to the area.
staceysolomon/InstagramJoe Swash and Stacey Solomon are over-hauling their £1.3million home, Pickle Cottage[/caption]
I can reveal the lovebirds are over-hauling their £1.3million home, Pickle Cottage, to create a posh glamping retreat.
Joe hopes to turn the 2.5-acre grounds of the Tudor-style mansion into a haven for nature lovers.
He said: “I’m thinking a couple of yurts, a couple of little hot tubs, a little bit of glamping so people can come and stay on the grounds.
“I want to make somewhere where you can come and eat good food and bring your wife and she won’t mind you fishing because she’ll have enough things to do. Hopefully, the public will book and come and stay. That’s the big goal – to have a really nice glamping place where people can come and just enjoy nature.”
Joe is already overseeing the development of the fishing lake that will form the heart of the new project.
But it sounds like he will need to keep DIY-fan Stacey away from the design of the holiday park.
He added: “Stacey does have these moments where she has creative bursts. Once, I came home and she had covered the whole utility room in Barbie pink plastic sticky vinyl.
“My argument to Stacey was, ‘Imagine if you’d come home and I’d camouflaged a whole room in a fishing theme’.”
Er, isn’t that what you’re up to with the lake, Joe?
