Noirin evicted from Big Brother

Big Brother housemate Noirin has been given the boot from the reality show. The retail manager from Dublin kept a smile on her face when host Davina McCall announced she had been evicted. After sharing hugs with her fellow contestants she made her way out of the house to a chorus of boos.

During his time in the house hirsute Marcus had made it clear he wanted to strike up a romance with femme fatale Noirin but she resisted his advances. Last week Noirin's ex-boyfriend, American Isaac Stout, 23, from Ohio, entered the house in a bid to rekindle their relationship. The 25-year-old had been sharing intimate moments with 23-year-old Siavash, an events organiser originally from Iran.

Speaking to host McCall after the eviction, Noirin said she had been expecting a negative reaction. She said: "I was expecting boos from all the drama that's been happening over the last two weeks." The ex-housemate went on: "I knew I was going to be booed anyway, it's part of the panto. I don't really care to be honest with you." Isaac, with whom she had an on-off relationship for three years, will now leave the house because he only entered to get her away from Siavash, she said.

Accused of giving "mixed messages" to the men in the house, she said: "Yes with Siavash, definitely with Siavash, but not with anyone else. I was just being friendly."

Peter Andre wins libel battle

Peter Andre has accepted substantial damages over claims he was unfaithful to his now estranged wife Katie Price with a Jordan lookalike.

A sunday newspaper claimed the 36-year-old singer made inappropriate sexual advances to Shira Jones in a brief meeting at the Movida club in London last December, London High Court heard.

Andre's solicitor, Mike Brookes, told the court all that happened was Andre was introduced to Ms Jones, allowed her friend to photograph them together and then spoke to her very briefly.

Outside London High Court Andre said: "This story has led to a lot of speculation about whether I was faithful to my estranged wife, which even led her to mention it on a breakfast television show last week.

"I have never been unfaithful to my wife, not with this girl or with anyone else".

Sir Bobby Robson dies aged 76

Former England and Newcastle manager Bobby Robson died on Friday at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.

Robson, who had been fighting cancer for a number of years, led England to the World Cup semi-finals in 1990 before leaving to manage a host of top European clubs including PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona and finally his boyhood team Newcastle.

A statement issued on behalf of his family said: "It is with great sadness that it has been announced today that Sir Bobby Robson has lost his long and courageous battle with cancer.

"He died very peacefully this morning at his home in County Durham with his wife and family beside him.

"Sir Bobby's funeral will be private and for family members only.

"A thanksgiving service in celebration of Sir Bobby's life will be held at a later date for his many friends and colleagues.

"Lady Robson and the family would very much appreciate it if their privacy could be respected at this difficult time."

As a player, Robson was a key member of the Fulham and West Brom team during the 1950s and 1960s and also won 20 caps for England.

His first managerial role came at Fulham, but he made his name during a successful reign at Ipswich from 1969 to 1982.

Police arrest Defoe by 'mistake'

Jermain Defoe was mistakenly arrested and held in custody for more than five hours on Monday prior to Tottenham's pre-season tour of Asia.

Defoe was arrested on suspicion of driving while disqualified, but it emerged an error was made as the forward's disqualification had been suspended pending an appeal.

"Despite being told Mr Defoe was not breaking the law and calling for his immediate release, the police would not agree to free him until they could clarify the position with the courts," said Defoe's solicitor, Nick Freeman.

Mr Freeman also claimed the police also refused to return his car keys, which were on the same bunch as his house keys, causing Defoe extreme difficulties, not least because he had to return home and pack for the tour.
