LONDON is one step closer to becoming the first capital city in the world to feature a surf park.

The £50million project would transform around 100 acres of land in Lee Valley Regional Park.

And now The Wave, which brought a “slice of the ocean” to Bristol, has appointed Endless Surf as its technology partner.

It will be The Wave’s second destination and builds on the success of its surf park in Bristol.

The project, which has been in development for a number of years, will make London the first capital city in the world to feature a surf park.

The project will progress using Endless Surf’s technology and construction solutions, which will help to overcome challenging site conditions.

Public consultation on the revised plans for the site at Lee Valley Leisure Complex in Edmonton, in the London Borough of Enfield, is due to take place in March.

The team aims to submit a planning application in the spring.

Hazel Geary, CEO of The Wave, said: “London has long been in our sights, as part of our mission to share the health benefits of water and waves with people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.

“We have been working closely with Lee Valley Regional Park Authority to progress plans for this incredible, but underused, land in the London Borough of Enfield.

“London is one of the world’s most dynamic and influential cities – and with its diverse population, strong sports culture, and high volume of visitors, it is the perfect location for an inland surfing experience.”

Other new water attractions

There are plenty of other water attractions opening in the UK, including Emerge Surf – a new £50million surfing park near Coleshill in North Warwickshire.

The main attraction will be a 5.4 acre surf lagoon WaveGarden creating 1,000 waves an hour up to two metres tall along with lessons and rentals.

An urban beach would also be created, which will be the largest in Europe.

There will also be an outdoor heated pool as well as a skateboarding track and outdoor playground.

Restaurants, a coffee shop, retail stores and a co-working space would also be on-site.

A similar £55million attraction will open near Edinburgh this year with a beachfront and surf lagoon.

Also the £50million The Seahive in Deal near Kent will have a wave pool, splash area and hotel.

The Seahive founder Jim Storey said he created the project due to Kent‘s lack of surf despite it’s long coastline.

He said: “Kent is not renowned for its surfing at all, in fact, a lot of people who love surfing drive six hours to Cornwall or hop on a flight somewhere abroad.”

First announced back in 2019, the £250milion waterpark will have huge swimming pools, 35 slides and an indoor beach.

Steam rooms and saunas, a swim up bar and “living” waterslides will also be included when it opens in 2025.

PRESENTER Myleene Klass has dressed to impress in a black lace show-stopping outfit.

Singer Myleene rocked the jaw-dropping ensemble as she made her way through London over the weekend to host her radio show.

The stunning star was head-to-toe in black, with black lace legs and a matching lace bodysuit.

The presenter, 46, accessorised the unique look with a black cropped designer hoodie and black trainers.

She added to the fashion statement with a Chanel necklace, a chunky gold watch and black sunglasses.

The former singer completed her look with natural make-up, with her long glossy hair down in loose waves.

It comes just weeks after Myleene revealed what really gets her in the mood during an appearance on Loose Women.

Referencing Brooke Shields‘ autobiography, in which she details her thoughts on sex as a 59-year-old woman, Jane Moore put the same question to her fellow panelists.

Myleene, who shares five-year-old daughter Ava with her husband Graham Quinn, revealed what gets her turned on now she’s a busy mum.

The model explained that when it comes to getting in the mood for women, it’s a’ slow burn’.

“I think all these ideas of tequila and setting the mood and music, it’s not about those five minutes, it’s about the whole day,” she said.

“It’s about the cup of tea, it’s about kindness, put a shelf up and things are going to look way more promising for the evening.”

Myleene went on to say that being proactive about tasks in the home and looking after your partner and family is her idea of “foreplay.”

“It’s not just what goes on in the bedroom, it’s actually what goes on in your relationship,” she continued.

And while she acknowledged that society doesn’t find this idea as “enticing,” she said that putting time and effort into a relationship is the biggest turn on.

“It’s not all about lace and lotion, it’s about conversations, a cup of tea, and some DIY,” she said as she cringed at all the money she had previously spent on lingerie.

LUIS DIAZ helped Liverpool move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Mo Salah made it two from the penalty eight minutes before half-time.

And it looked as though Diogo Jota had secured the golden chance to wrap up the points when he went down under a sliding tackle in the Wolves area.

Referee Simon Hooper pointed to the spot but reversed his decision after the VAR monitor replays showed Jota had simply thrown himself to the floor.

Then the nerves inside Anfield increased when Matheus Cunha fired a fine strike into the bottom corner to pull the relegation-threatened side back into the game.

But despite a wave of attacks, the Reds held on and stumbled over the line for a crucial return to winning ways.

GOGGLEBOX legends Dave and Shirley have revealed that there is one show they refuse to watch, saying there’s ‘no need for it.’

The pair are one of the most popular couples on the Bafta award-winning TV show.

The show favourites have been on the show since 2015[/caption]

Based in Caerphilly, Wales, the TV stars, both in their 60s, joined the Channel 4 show in 2015.

Known for their dry wit and a similar sarcastic sense of humour, the couple soon became a fan favourite.

And, as is the premise of Gogglebox, they sit down to watch various TV shows and provide commentary on them.

But asked at this year’s TV Choice Awards whether there’s a show they’ll refuse to watch, Shirley was quick to answer, saying: “Naked Attraction.”

Shirley went on: “I watch it, but when you think of it, the first time you see someone is with no clothes on. There’s no need.”

Naked Attraction, hosted by Anna Richardson, has been shocking audiences since 2016 with its risqué concept.

Contestants in the lineup reportedly have to remain nude for the majority of the 12-hour filming process

Dave then joked that Shirley will be there hiding her eyes from the screen, while he’s doing the opposite.

While chatting to The Sun at the awards, Dave and Shirley also praised the younger stars of Gogglebox, for their success in the showbiz industry.

They said: “It’s really lovely to see them all doing well. We’ve just chatted to Joe Baggs down there who’s interviewing for Lorraine.”

Reality TV stars Dave and Shirley have been leaving fans in stitches for years since they made their show debut in 2015 but have never been joined by any of their other family members like some of their co-stars.

Apart from their pet pooch, Dave and Shirley have opted to keep their relatives away from the Channel 4 spotlight.

It led their almost 200,000 Instagram followers to go into a frenzy when they spotted a rare photo of their son, Simon.

Dave and Shirley left their fans hot under the collar thanks to the cheeky shirtless snap last year, with many quick to jump on how ‘hot’ their son was.

Heavily tattooed Simon posed for the camera as he donned nothing other than a pair of yellow shorts and a baseball cap as he flashed the flesh in the picture.

Commenting on his impressive body, Dave appeared to jokingly caption the snap:  “Just like his farther ripped # gogglebox #dubai.”

Taking their chance, many of their fans were left pondering if handsome Simon was single and looking to date.

One fan said: “Is he single lol.”

Another excitedly shared: “Wow! ! ! He’s proper fit!”

“He’s hot,” decalred a third as a fourth added a slew of love-heart-eyed emoji’s before quipping: “Oh hello.”

THE BBC has been plunged into Eurovision chaos by Malta’s entry and it’s very x-rated lyrics.

Singer Miriana Conte will represent the island with her very catchy pop song Kant which means singing in Maltese.

The singer will revamp her song but the rude chorus will stay the same[/caption]

The chorus sees her singing about ‘serving kant’.

However it is the pronunciation of the lyric to rhyme with hunt that is causing worries at the BBC.

A source said: “It’s not a great situation – it’s causing a few headaches. 

“On the face of it there’s nothing wrong with the song but the way it’s sung could cause offence and there’s bound to be complaints. 

“If it wins it becomes an even bigger issue – especially if it charts. Eurovision winners traditionally do a press tour and perform their tracks all over but it’s a bit much for breakfast telly.”

Radio 2 morning presenter Scott Mills, who commentates Eurovision for BBC Radio and the semi-finals on the BBC, has admitted the song can never be played.

“We can’t talk about Malta’s one, at all,” he said on his radio show this week. 

“We definitely can’t play a clip of it… ever, on the BBC.”

Malta are set to compete in the second Semi-Final which will be on iPlayer and BBC One on 15 May.

Miriana also revealed that Eurovision bosses have accepted the lyrics so they will remain but the song will be revamped.

“The EBU accepted that the song remains the same, so it shouldn’t be a problem,” she told LovinMalta.

 “The song will obviously be revamped, but it won’t change, it’ll stay the same.”

She also addressed the BBC ban, adding: “I saw the article on social media about the BBC thing, but I don’t have much to say.

“I do however understand their position as a radio station and as a country.”

The BBC has been approached for comment.
