George Michael's 'devastated' family vow his ex-lover Kenny Goss will get nothing after he sued the late singer's estate demanding £15,000 A MONTH

George Michael's 'devastated' family have vowed that his ex-lover Kenny Goss will get nothing after he sued the late singer's estate demanding £15,000 a month.  The Texan, 62, launched a legal bid after claiming he was reliant on George's money when the singer was alive after reportedly being paid a generous monthly allowance before their split in 2009. Goss's claim that he should still be provided for is said to have left the star's father, Kyriacos, 81, 'devastated'.     George Michael's 'devastated' family have vowed that his ex-lover Kenny Goss will get nothing after he sued the late singer's estate demanding £15,000 a month (the former couple pictured in 2002) A source close to the family told The Sun: 'They are angry about this and think Kenny is being heartless and disrespectful.

Pupils at £42k a year Eton College are sent home to isolate after 'a significant number’ of students test positive - prompting concerns from anxious parents that the move will ‘spread coronavirus across the country’

Eton College has been accused of 'spreading coronavirus around the country' after sending an entire year of students home following an outbreak. All of the prestigious boarding school's Lower Sixth - Year 12 - have been told to isolate at their home after a 'significant' number of pupils tested positive for Covid-19, according to reports. Parents whose children attend the £42,000-a-year boarding school, near Windsor, Berkshire, are understood to be 'furious' at the decision, reports The Telegraph.   It follows an earlier outbreak at the college last month when bosses confirmed several of their 1,300 students were found to have Covid-19 on their return from the summer holidays. On that occasion, students were told to isolate. But Eton chiefs told The Telegraph that, 'given the number' of students involved on this occasion, the medical advice from Public Health England was that the students 'could not safely isolate' at the school. All of the p

A smile that hides a dark family battle: Sam Burgess poses for a grinning photo with his mum while cheering on the Rabbitohs - as the family rally around the star amidst bombshell allegations about his personal life

Embattled NRL star Sam Burgess has been pictured grinning with his mother Julie while watching his former team grind their way into the preliminary finals. Mrs Burgess shared a photo of the pair on Saturday night as the family continues to rally around the 31-year-old following a raft of allegations about his personal life.    'Soooooooooo happy,' Mrs Burgess captioned the photo after Burgess' former team the South Sydney Rabbitohs topped the Parramatta Eels 38-24.  Earlier in the night she wrote 'let's go Rabbitohs' and 'love our team' as the pair watched Sam's younger brother Tom help his team secure a hard-fought win.

Singer Elaine Paige says playing a pot-smoking marriage wrecker in new BBC drama Life is easy… because she was one!

She is the revered first lady of musical theatre and a family favourite on Radio 2. So it might come as a surprise not only to learn that, at 72, Elaine Paige has a new TV role as a drug-taking mistress – but also that she has first-hand experience which she can draw upon. The star has been cast as Helen in the hit BBC1 drama Life – a woman who had an affair with a married man and who will be seen smoking dope in a forthcoming episode. Ms Paige said she was definitely able to call upon her real-life experience for her character Helen in the dope smoking scene Ms Paige had a well-publicised 11-year affair with married lyricist Sir Tim Rice, but now she has told The Mail on Sunday how the scene in which she lights a marijuana joint in the new series also brought back memories of her time making her West End debut with hippy musical Hair in 1968. ‘It reminded me of my time when I was in the cast of Hair and smoking joints on the roof of the Shaftesbury Theatre,’ she said.  ‘You could say

'The drinks are on me but Public Health England are in charge of payment methodology so I will not be paying anything': Health Secretary Matt Hancock makes tasteless Covid test joke in Commons bar as he 'joined MPs flouting 10pm curfew'

Health Secretary Matt Hancock was last night accused of breaking his own Covid curfew by drinking in a Commons bar beyond 10pm – where he made a crass joke about the Government's test and trace failings.  Mr Hancock arrived at the bar just before a 9.40pm vote, ordered a glass of white wine and announced: 'The drinks are on me – but Public Health England are in charge of the payment methodology so I will not be paying anything.'  His ill-conceived joke came after he had tried to explain to the Commons why the quango had lost nearly 16,000 positive coronavirus tests – a fiasco which Labour claimed had put 'lives at risk'.  A senior Tory MP told The Mail on Sunday that Mr Hancock remained in the Smoking Room bar until at least 10.25pm, despite Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle insisting that Commons venues must abide by the same 10pm drink-up-and-leave curfew as all English pubs.  Health Secretary Matt Hancock was last night accused of breaking his own Covid curfew by drinki
