WILLIE MULLINS has pulled two huge names out of Cheltenham Festival altogether – as he slashed his number of runners across several key races.

The Closutton boss will not run Tony Bloom’s Ile Atlantique at next month’s blockbuster meeting after he was scratched from the Arkle and Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase.

And multiple Grade 1-winning machine Impaire Et Passe won’t be on the boat either, after he was cut from the same two races.

Mullins has taken a sword to his masses of runners across the four-day Festival.

Today marked the scratching stage for a number of Grade 1 contests, including the novice races.

Another big name to miss out was Mistergif, who was third fav for the Arkle but removed from that race.

Below is every runner Mullins has pulled from each race today.

Most, if not all, have multiple entries, which means their target is being narrowed down rather than they are missing Cheltenham altogether.

THE nation’s broadband providers have been ranked from best to worst on reliability.

A survey conducted by Broadband Genie, involving 3,200 broadband users nationwide, has shed light on which providers deliver the most dependable connections.

Consumers were asked to rate their supplier based on whether or not they have experienced outages. 

BT leads the pack with 81% of customers reporting no outages, followed by TalkTalk at 77%. Plusnet, Virgin Media, and Sky follow with 72%, 70%, and 69% respectively. 

Hyperoptic, Vodafone, and EE trail behind with 65%, 63%, and 60% of users experiencing uninterrupted service.

It’s worth noting that this survey focuses solely on outages and doesn’t consider other factors like speed or customer service.

If you experience significant broadband outages, you might be eligible for automatic compensation.

Ofcom regulations stipulate that providers participating in the automatic compensation scheme must compensate customers for total loss of service, delayed repairs, missed appointments, and delayed service activation. 

Under the scheme, internet providers typically pay £9.76 for each day that broadband and phone services remain unrepaired after an initial two full days of no service.

Additionally, if you experience a prolonged loss of service, you may have the right to terminate your contract without incurring any fees.

However, it is worth noting that only BT, EE, Hyperoptic, Plusnet, Sky, TalkTalk, Virgin Media, and Vodafone are currently part of the automatic compensation scheme.

If your provider is not a participant in Ofcom’s scheme, you will not be eligible for the £9.76 daily compensation.

That said, you may still be able to seek compensation directly from your provider by lodging a formal complaint and demonstrating that the issue has caused you financial harm.

Peter Ames, broadband expert at Broadband Genie, said: “It’s pretty shocking that in 2025 even the most reliable broadband provider in the UK still sees 19% of its customers experiencing broadband outages.

“If this level of service was delivered by other essential utilities, serious questions would be asked.

“We always recommend that consumers check independent reviews, especially in their area as provider reliability can vary by location, and at the very least ensure their provider is signed up to Ofcom’s automatic compensation scheme.”

All providers have been contacted for comment.

PRICE HIKES BY PROVIDER

Broadband Genie’s research comes as millions of telecom customers face price hikes of up to 15% this year.

This comes despite new Ofcom regulations designed to protect consumers.

While these rules require telecom companies to clearly state mid-contract price rises in pounds and pence, rather than linking them to inflation, many customers will still see inflation-linked increases in 2025, depending on their contract start date.

BT, EE and Plusnet

BT, which also owns EE and Plusnet, said that from March 2025, the price of mobile contracts will rise by £1.50 a month (SIM-only) or £4 (handset plans).

Broadband tariffs will go up by £3 a month and £2 for TV.

But, the provider has assured vulnerable customers on BT Home Essentials contracts that they will be exempt from any price rises.

The pounds and pence rise will apply to contracts taken out from April 10, 2024.

For those who took out a deal before this, a 6.4% rise will apply (3.9% and January’s inflation rate, which was 2.5%).

Plusnet will also increase its broadband price by £3 per month from the end of March for contracts taken out after July 11, 2024.

For contracts started prior to this date, a 6.4% hike will apply.

Vodafone

Vodafone mobile phone customers will see their bills rise by £1.80 a month while Home Broadband customers will see prices hiked by £3.

These pounds and pence rises will apply to contracts taken out after July 2, 2024.

For bills prior to this date an inflation linked price rise of 3.9% plus January’s inflation figure will apply. This rate is due to be announced on February 19.

The new prices will apply from April 1.

Vodafone has said that price increases will not be applied to customers who are identified as financially vulnerable or those on social tariffs.

For Vodafone broadband customers bills will rise by £3 on contracts taken out after July 22, 2024.

For those taken out prior to then, an inflation linked price rise of 3.9% plus January’s inflation figure will apply. This rate is due to be announced on February 19.

Three

Three has said broadband increases will be capped at £2 and mobile prices between £1 and £1.50 depending on the data allowance.

The pounds and pence rises will apply for contracts taken out after September 8, 2024.

For those before rises are set at 6.4% (3.9% and January’s inflation rate, which was 2.5%).

02

Customers of 02 mobile will pay £1.80 more on contracts started after January 9, 2025.

For those taken out before, an inflation linked price rise of 3.9% plus January’s inflation figure will apply. This rate is due to be announced on February 19.

Virgin Media

Customers of Virgin Media will pay £3.50 more on contracts started after January 9, 2025.

For those taken out before, an inflation linked price rise of 3.9% plus January’s inflation figure will apply. This rate is due to be announced on February 19.

Tesco Mobile

Tesco Mobile said someone on a £14.99 a month a deal would see their monthly contract price increase by 90p in April.

While, customers on a £30 a month deal will see their basic monthly price increase by £1.80.

That’s for contracts taken out after December 17, 2024. On those before this date, prices will rise 6.4% (3.9% and January’s inflation rate, which was 2.5%).

Sky

Sky said this week broadband and TV bills will rise by 6.2% from April 1.

While the new Ofcom rules require providers to specify future price rises in pounds and pence upfront, it only applies if they are linked to inflation.

Sky’s are not, so it can go ahead with a percentage increase.

For example, if you currently pay £39 per month for Sky TV, Netflix, and Full Fibre 150 broadband, your bill will increase by £2.42, bringing the total to £41.42 a month.

The same rises will apply to NOW Broadband, which is owned by Sky.

If you’re on a broadband and mobile social tariff, you won’t see an increase to your bills because Sky and Now has frozen its tariffs.

Out of contract Sky Mobile customers will see bills rise by £1.50 a month.

Those in contract won’t see a rise.

WHEN life gave Lina Nielsen lemons, she sprinted straight to the Olympics. 

The 28-year-old was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 17 years old, leaving her terrified of disability.

MS without Barriers is a campaign by Sanofi supported by Lina Nielsen[/caption]

Doctors gave her “pitying looks” and a list of lifestyle changes for what Lina thought was an “old man’s disease”.

For nine years, Lina kept her diagnosis a secret, even from her own twin sister, Laviai – who has since also been diagnosed with MS but has not experienced symptoms.

But now she is ready to raise awareness of the condition through a new campaign with Sanofi and the MS Society.

Lina tells Sun Health: “I had dreams of becoming an Olympian, and suddenly, everyone around me was questioning if those dreams were even possible.”

Spoiler alert – they were. Lina would go on to win a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics for the 4 x 400m relay.

It came after Lina fell into the last hurdle of the 400m hurdle semi-final, leaving her collapsed in heartbreak on the track.

Leading up to it, Lina had suffered panic attacks while in the Olympic village, terrified her condition would attack just before the race.

It’s exactly what happened two years prior before her World Athletics Championships heats in Oregon, in which she ran with numb legs. 

While she currently is living without symptoms, they could strike at any moment and there’s no way to tell how long flare-ups will last.

Lina says: “I’m really fortunate that I’ve made full recoveries from my relapses. I’ve got no ongoing symptoms at the moment, living completely healthy. 

“But I live with that uncertainty every day. That could change in a year or tomorrow….It’s really difficult to navigate and it’s about being brave.

“There is no way of knowing how it will manifest in the future.”

The misconceptions around her condition mean people ask Lina why she doesn’t compete in the Paralympics instead. 

“One comment that I’ve had multiple times on various kinds of social media platforms is, why do I not compete in the Paralympics,” she says. “And I think that just kind of encapsulates the misconception people have about MS.”

When I was in my early 20s, I was paralysed with fear, no pun intended.

Lina Nielsen

Even Lina admits she was shocked when she was diagnosed, not fitting what she believed someone with MS looked like. 

She recalls: “I had just touched on the topic of MS in my biology classes and from the get-go, it was a picture of a man in a wheelchair.

“So when I was diagnosed, I thought, ‘This can’t be me’, because the last time I heard about MS, it was an old man in a wheelchair.

“It’s not older men that get commonly diagnosed, it’s actually younger women.”

LABELLED AT SCHOOL

Some of the biggest misconceptions about MS are that it is a terminal illness or that it causes muscles to waste away until a person is left in a wheelchair. 

Some 67 per cent of people believe that people with MS cannot run, and 44 per cent believe they cannot walk, according to a 2025 survey commissioned by Sanofi.

While MS is considered a disability under the Equality Act 2010, and it can have a debilitating impact on people’s lives, it is a highly variable condition.

The symptoms range from mild to severe and Lina has what’s called relapsing-remitting MS, which has flare-ups and periods of remission. 

Lina tried to detach herself from the condition in fear that it would impact her career. 

She says: “I was just trying to be a normal 17/18-year-old.

“Back then, I had right-sided paralysis, so that affected my whole life. 

“At the school that I went to, I was known as the ‘girl with the lift key card’. So if anyone was going to lift, I was the girl who had the key card because I couldn’t climb the stairs. 

“Then that was the label that was given to me in school, by people I didn’t even know. So I quickly realised that labels will just get attached to you.

“I volunteered at the 2012 Olympics, and all my idols were Olympians. 

“I wanted to be a sports person as good as them – I didn’t want to be known as ‘a sports person who has MS’.”

Lina gets asked why she doesn’t compete in the Paralympics – but she is not disabled[/caption]

But the stigma she felt has shifted and she now feels a “social responsibility” to show what real people with MS look like – and that can be an Olympian.

It is estimated there are over 150,000 people with MS in the UK, around one in every 400 people.

I had panic attacks and anxiety attacks in the village, which I did not plan for, did not even think it was going to happen

Lina

Only a third of people are aware that MS is an autoimmune neurological condition, with over half (54%) believing it to be a muscular degenerative condition.

MS causes the body’s immune system to attack nerves, which can cause symptoms of numbness or tingling, dizziness, muscle cramps, spasms and stiffness and balancing difficulties.

It can also cause fatigue, problems with vision, memory, concentration and more.

Lina says: “It’s human nature to put everything in one box and say people who have MS will have disability. 

“But I know so many people who live with MS, whose symptoms are fatigue day-to-day so it just means navigating the workplace a bit differently.

“Some people have never had physical disabilities, but vision problems or things like vertigo. I’ve had double vision and blurred vision in the past.”

Lina first experienced symptoms at the age of 13, a sudden weakness in her left arm.

But it wasn’t until she had a flare-up aged 17, causing full-body mobility issues, that her symptoms were looked at more closely – and she got her diagnosis.

She recalls crying the whole day, her future dreams shattered.

“There were two people, a consultant and a nurse, and they both looked at me with pitying eyes and asked me to think about lifestyle changes, and that I needed to take it seriously,” Lina says.

“I was treated as a minor so they spoke to me in a way that was quite condescending.” 

Lina continued to train, despite doctors telling her to slow down, and participated in several national events, mainly 400m hurdles.

PANIC ATTACKS AT OLYMPICS

She was added to the Great Britain team in 2024, and in July of the same year, suffered her biggest flare-up yet.

It was the day before her World Championships debut in Oregon in July.

Lina says: “It affected movement completely, I was experiencing disability. I went out and raced anyway, and was three or four seconds slower.”

Lina finished last in the race despite the fat her whole left side was numb and her right side starting to weaken.

Unbeknownst to her, it hugely affected her psychologically, which became apparent by the time the 2024 Olympics rolled around.

Lina says: “I had panic attacks and anxiety attacks in the village, which I did not plan for, did not even think it was going to happen. 

“But there’s a psychological aspect of it… ‘I could, face disability again’, or something could happen. I could get a relapse or a symptom, and it would completely squash my dreams.

“Because of the anxiety, I had a stiff diaphragm. That meant I couldn’t move my hip flexors properly and I had to change my stride pattern in the race.”

Heartbreakingly Lina fell at the last hurdle of the 400m semi-finals, landing on the track and coming last place.

“It was a deep fear that I didn’t realise was going to show up in the Olympic Games,” said Lina.

“But on a day-to-day basis, more so now that I’ve lived with it for close to 15 years, I’m not that scared of it anymore.

“When I was in my early 20s, I was paralysed with fear, no pun intended.”

Lina won’t know when her next flare-up hits.

And doctors can’t tell her if she will get secondary progressive MS, which can follow relapsing remitting.

It means symptoms are there persistently and get slowly worse. 

Lina says: “A lot of us who have been diagnosed live with a bit more purpose because we just know how quickly life can just change. 

“So in a way, it’s given me purpose to continue chasing my dreams in sports.

“MS is unpredictable, but understanding how it affects you personally can help you navigate it.”  

MS without Barriers is a campaign by Sanofi supported by Lina Nielsen which aims to raise awareness of multiple sclerosis and address misunderstanding and stigma. For more information about MS visit mssociety.org.uk

A NEW route from the UK to France is being launched by easyJet this summer.

The budget airline has confirmed a new route from London Gatwick to Brest in Brittany this June.

easyJet is launching a new London Gatwick route[/caption]

The new route, starting from £44.99 each way, will operate twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Flights take just over an hour.

Jennifer Newman, Airline Relations Manager at London Gatwick said they were “delighted” to launch the new route.

She added: “[It provides] passengers across London and the South East with more choice and competition from London Gatwick.”

The new route joins Volotea, another budget airline who launched flights to Brest last year.

The Spanish airline also operates the route from London Gatwick, for as little as £25 each way.

Other airlines such as Air France require a change, making the flight time around six hours.

Ryanair used to operate a Bristol-Brest route back in 2019 although this was scrapped.

The city of Brest is on the Atlantic coast, and named as a City of Art and History.

Lots of it was rebuilt after the 1944 bombings in WWII, although still has a mix of modernist and Art Deco buildings.

Also dubbed a “Breton-style San Francisco” with their sloping streets in a grid formation, there are seven districts to explore.

Or you can try out the cable car that goes over the river to the Les Capucins district.

Most people head to the National Maritime Museum, or Océanopolis, one of the largest aquariums in France.

Visit in July for the annual Astropolis, a techno music festival, or August for the Route du Rock festival with rock music.

Here are some other new flight routes launching from London Gatwick this year, including:

• Cape Verde with easyJet from March
• Rimini with easyJet from April
• Porto with easyJet from May
• Salerno with British Airways from May

Long-haul destinations from London Gatwick include Singapore with Singapore Airlines as well as Las Vegas with Norse Airways.

Here are some new Ryanair flight routes launching this year too.

NATHAN ASPINALL poked fun at his Premier League Darts rival over his poor dress sense.

All eight players competing in this year’s Premier League were asked quickfire questions.

PA

Nathan Aspinall named Chris Dobey as the worst dressed darts star[/caption]

Sportsfile

The tournament got underway last week and returns in Glasgow on Thursday.

Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey both gave Ryan Joyce as their answer to the question of who is the worst dressed player on tour.

But Dobey was also picked out as the worst dressed player by Aspinall.

He told Sky Sports: “The worst dressed – Dobey. He still wears full football kits at 34.”

Aspinall, 33, hit back at criticism who questioned his selection in the Premier League.

The Asp lost his first game of the competition to Luke Humphries, who won the opening night, but he believes he is worthy of involvement.

He said: “I came off social media for a start. I said it recently, the only opinion that matters is the PDC’s.

“People are entitled to their opinion, people are entitled to favourites.

“But for me, the only opinions that matter are Matt Porter’s and the PDC’s and they put me in so I am in.

“I don’t need to prove anything. I am really good friends with Chizzy and it isn’t Dave who would have written that. I have no issues with Dave because he won’t have written that.

“That is a separate issue that I will deal with and I am not going to talk about Mike De Decker. I am sick of talking about Mike De Decker.”

ENERGY prices are still a constant concern for UK residents but a simple step might help you cut your costs.

Experts have revealed an easy way you can reduce your household bills.

PA

Energy experts have revealed the top three household appliances that cost you money when left on standby (stock image)[/caption]

There are three vampire appliances which are increasing your expenses, reports the Daily Express.

This name is given to gadgets which still use electricity when switched to standby mode.

Vampire power, also known as a phantom load, can add up significantly over time.

And while these appliances may not be the biggest culprits when switched on, switching them off can still save you a surprising amount.

Leaving these items in standby mode doesn’t fully turn them off, they often still use small amounts of power which can add up over time.

Standby refers to leaving your items plugged in while they are switched off.

One device may only use a few watts but the combined cost throughout the household can be enough to add on to your bills.

Solar Panel experts at GSL identified the three key offenders that are left on standby the most often.

“Many appliances are designed to consume less power in standby mode, but they don’t stop using electricity altogether,” said Grant Store’s Renewable Energy Consultant.

“Over time, this covert energy usage can result in higher bills, which is an unnecessary burden, especially during the colder months.”

Sky or Freeview Boxes

These are often left on standby out of convenience but are one of the worst offenders.

“Boxes may seem harmless when left on standby, but they draw a surprising amount of power even when the TV is off,” experts explained.

“Fully turning them off at the mains when not in use can result in noticeable reductions to your electricity bill.”

Games Consoles

Modern consoles such as a PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch come equipped with a low-power standby setting.

However, even this mode has been discovered to consume significant amounts of energy.

“Gaming consoles are a staple in many homes, and while their standby modes are more efficient than before, they still draw power unnecessarily,” experts said.

“Turning them off entirely after use is a straightforward way to save energy.”

PCs

Finally, PCs are another common culprit to watch out for and while standby mode might help speed up the starting process, it can cost you.

“A PC left on standby can add around £10 to £15 to your annual energy bill,” energy experts revealed.

“It might not seem like much, but when combined with other devices, it all adds up.

“Shutting down your computer completely when it’s not in use is a simple step to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.”

They concluded: “Switching off appliances at the mains might feel like a small change, but it can make a big difference to your overall energy bills.

“By targeting devices that consume power on standby, households can save money and take a meaningful step toward energy efficiency this winter.”

HOLLY Hagan has opened up about her BBL and how she shed three stone to reverse the procedure naturally.

The Geordie Shore star, 32, sat down to discuss why she started having cosmetic surgeries on the Should I Delete That podcast.

Geordie Shore’s Holly Hagan says she has accepted her ‘cellulite and saggy bum’[/caption]

Holly is the skinniest she’s ever been after admitting all of her weight now goes straight to her bum[/caption]

The mum revealed her bum now looks like deflated water balloons[/caption]

Podcast co-hosts Alex Light and Em Clarkson asked what happened to body positivity in the last few years as the ‘skinny trend’ came back, with even the Kardashian family reportedly reversing their BBLs.

The Brazilian Butt Lift takes fat from the waist and injects it into the cheeks to give a fuller appearance.

And now Holly has admitted to doing the same, as she revealed to having a boob job before even getting on TV.

She revealed her body insecurities all started with a comment from a man she was dating.

“I was already insecure; I didn’t have much self-worth or self-esteem,” she explained.

“I remember going on a night out and one of the guys being like ‘See, if you had t**s like that you’d be amazing,’ and my friend had big boobs and I was like ‘I’ve got nothing here.’

“I wanted a boob job before I even started puberty.”

Holly admitted she was getting paid well from Geordie Shore and at 21, had little bills to pay for so instead spent it on surgery.

“I was like, I can try and look like a Kardashian, and life is going to be okay,” she continued.

“Unfortunately, now I’m looking like a deflated water balloon because of everything but you live and learn.”

She also revealed she struggled to get through doors after so much surgery[/caption]

The mum-of-one who works as a fitness coach now says she knows how to manipulate her body naturally, and regrets the BBL.

I can’t put weight on now because I can’t fit through doors.

Holly Hagan

The BBL Holly had injected fat to her bum and hip area, making it difficult to shift even with exercise.

“Now, it’s going to be really hard for me to achieve that gym-body look,” she added.

“I’m always going to have this abnormal, large backside if I ever gain weight, and this is actually the reason why I’m slimmer now than I ever have been; it’s because I’ve been working so hard to get rid of the BBL.

“If I put any weight on, it goes straight to my bum, so now I’m held by this imaginary crutch because I’m like ‘I can’t put weight on now because I can’t fit through doors.’

“I look silly.”

Asked if she would give her younger self advice on trend-led surgery, Holly revealed she wished she would have realised the idea of the perfect body constantly changing.

She said: “Don’t follow the trend, and know that just because you have boobs, it doesn’t mean that boys are going to fancy you or not.

“A man isn’t just there because you’ve got boobs or a bum.”

“I’d love to say to my younger self, please don’t do that,” Holly continued.

“Not only is a BBL going to look horrendous after you’ve had a child, it’s also so dangerous and you could literally die, and that is not worth anything.”

DANIEL MUNOZ (£4.9m) is the Dream Team defender who refuses to drop down the rankings.

We tipped the Crystal Palace wing-back in last week’s transfer recommendations article and he delivered in spades with a 15-point haul against Doncaster on Monday night.

Dream Team

Relentless[/caption]

The Colombia international scored the opening goal and contributed to a clean sheet in the Eagles’ 2-0 win over their League Two opponents in the FA Cup fourth round.

At the time of writing, Munoz is the top-scoring asset in his position for Gameweek 23.

More broadly, he’s the most in-form defender in the game having plundered 35 points from his last three outings.

But even that doesn’t tell the full story of his fruitful form of late.

Munoz has been on a tear since Boxing Day, banking a mighty 88 points across the last eight Gameweeks!

Reuters

Munoz does it all[/caption]

This surge has propelled the 28-year-old up to third in the defensive rankings.

TOP DREAM TEAM DREAM DEFENDERS THIS SEASON:

• 223 pts – Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m)
• 195 pts – Pedro Porro (£4.5m)
• 189 pts – Daniel Munoz (£4.9m)
• 187 pts – Virgil van Dijk (£5m)
• 173 pts – Gabriel (£4.8m)

The fact Munoz is rubbing shoulders with the absolute cream of the crop without European fixtures to bolster his schedule is highly impressive.

One of the reasons he’s been able to amass such a high total is Oliver Glasner’s reluctance to rest him in the domestic cups.

Munoz has earned 42 points from six appearances split between the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in 2024/25.

And it’s this boon that makes him a particularly tempting option for the foreseeable future.

Palace have four fixtures to fulfil across the next three Gameweeks and Munoz should start them all so long as he remains fit: Everton, Fulham, Aston Villa, Millwall.

GETTY

Munoz is the first name on Oliver Glasner’s team sheet[/caption]

The ex-Genk defender is such a strong Dream Team asset because he has multiple routes to points.

Glasner’s side have tightened up in recent weeks with five clean sheets in their last six games in all competitions – half their tally for the season.

Munoz is also one of just two players to have made 100+ tackles in 2024/25, with Noussair Mazraoui (£2.9m) being the other.

In fact, he’s earned a whopping 45 points from tackles alone this season.

Factor in three goals plus five assists and it’s recipe for sustained success.

Getty

Only Alexander-Arnold averages more points-per-game than Munoz among defenders[/caption]

Amazingly, only Alexander-Arnold (7.2) averages more points-per-game than Munoz (6.8m) among defenders this season.

Palace’s No12 features in 3.3% of teams right now but he deserves a steep popularity spike this month.
