The Duchess of York appeared to say some words of wisdom to Christian Horner as they caught up at the Bahrain Grand Prix yesterday.

The 50-year-old Red Bull boss was at the center of a scandal this week after flirtatious WhatsApp messages he apparently sent to a female colleague were leaked online – days after he was cleared of inappropriate workplace conduct.

At yesterday’s Grand Prix, Christian and his wife Geri, 51, put on a united front as they arrived hand in hand before exchanging a kiss in front of the cameras.

Zara and Mike Tindall, Peter Phillips, the Duchess of York and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank were also in the crowd to watch Red Bull secure first and second place in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

After their victory, Sarah Ferguson, Princess Eugenie and Jack walked to the track to congratulate the Red Bull team on their success.

The Duchess of York, who has faced a host of scandals during her time in the spotlight, appeared to have a lively conversation with Christian as he listened attentively.

At one point, Sarah placed a comforting hand on Christian’s arm as they exchanged a few short words.

The F1 boss then greeted Princess Eugenie, 33, by giving the royal a quick kiss on the cheek.

After their brief conversation, Sarah placed a comforting hand on Christian’s torso as they parted.

For the event, Eugenie wore a black floral midi dress from All Saints with fun, floaty sleeves. Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson opted for a light blue Gucci jacket and black trousers.

Later in the evening, Mike and Zara Tindall and her brother Peter Phillips also appeared on the circuit to pose next to the car of winner Max Verstappen.

The mother of three wore a white blazer from ME+EM, a miniature black leather handbag from Aspinal and a pair of white Superga sneakers.

Sarah Ferguson’s appearance at the Bahrain Grand Prix comes as the Mail on Sunday revealed the Duchess was told her skin cancer does not appear to have spread.

Sarah, 65, suffered a devastating blow in January when doctors discovered malignant melanoma during a second bout of reconstructive surgery following her breast cancer diagnosis last year.

The news came as a ‘huge shock’ to Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, but friends said she was determined to ‘come back’.

A friend told the Mail on Sunday that she had just learned that these were all ‘cancer-free’ and that doctors believe there has been no spread of the disease

Although she must remain vigilant and undergo regular 12-week check-ups, the news was the ‘best possible outcome she could have hoped for’ and her prognosis is good.

Christian Horner was cleared to continue as head of Red Bull following an internal investigation into ‘inappropriate conduct’ by the F1 team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH. The 50-year-old has always denied the claims.

The Red Bull F1 boss initially broke cover during Saturday morning’s Grand Prix with no trace of his wife Geri Halliwell after his wife discovered the texts had been leaked while flying on a private jet.

An insider previously told the Mail there would be ‘chaos’ if Geri showed her face at Saturday’s Grand Prix.

Halliwell, who married the Red Bull team boss in 2015, had a “meltdown” when she landed in the Gulf state on a private jet on Thursday and discovered the bombshell messages plastered all over social media.

The 51-year-old singer has a son, Montague George Hector Horner, with Horner.

She also has a daughter, Bluebell Madonna, born in 2006, with former partner and screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.

PEP GUARDIOLA has apologized to Kalvin Phillips for making fun of him.

The Manchester City boss criticized his England midfielder for being 1.5kg overweight when he returned from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

But Phillips, who tried to rebuild his career on loan at West Ham, revealed the comments had a huge impact on him.

Guardiola has said this was the only time during his reign at City that he made such a mistake.

He said, “Yes, I'm sorry. Once every eight years isn't bad, but I'm so sorry. I apologize to him. I do. I'm very sorry.”

Guardiola insisted he had done things the right way as he spoke about £45m signing FOR the player told the world after joining the Hammers last month.

The Etihad chief added: “I have spoken about that. I spoke to him before our match.

“Before I say anything here, I speak to the players – and that's what I did in that case.”

Phillips, 28, has played just two Premier League games in 18 months at City – and just six games in total.

He moved to West Ham to try to secure his place in England ahead of this summer's European Championship finals in Germany but has endured a disastrous few weeks.

His mistakes saw the Irons concede goals in his first two appearances, a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth and a 3-0 defeat at Manchester United.

Phillips was subsequently shown two yellow cards in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

Earlier this month, Phillips opened up about his difficult time at City following his move from Leeds in 2022.

And he revealed the jokes about his obesity had taken a heavy toll on him.

He said: “After the World Cup was probably the hardest thing, when Pep came out and said I was too heavy.

“He was right to do that, but there are different ways to go about it.

“It was just a misunderstanding, he was very frustrated because I came back 1.5kg above my target weight.

“It has had a big impact on my self-confidence and my feeling at City.

“My family wasn't happy about it either, especially my mother.”

KALVIN PHILLIPS waited for half an hour outside referee Tom Bramall's dressing room looking for the reason for his red card.

But the exhausted West Ham midfielder, 28, finally conceded defeat after his first-ever Premier League exit.

Manchester City loanee Phillips received two yellow cards in three minutes during the 2-0 defeat at Manchester City Nottingham Forest.

He first pushed Nicolas Dominguez, who tried to prevent him from taking a quick free-kick, before receiving a second yellow card for a challenge on Morgan Gibbs-White.

Phillips said: “I waited outside the referee's room to have a chat with him.

'But after half an hour he still wasn't out. I don't know if he knew I was there or not.

'I didn't want to abuse him. I just wanted to have a conversation about it.

'In the end I go home without saying my word.

“I'm just disappointed, especially because I'm working on getting myself back into a position where I can help, but now I have to miss a game.”

England international Phillips has had a terrible loan spell at the London Stadium so far.

But Hammers boss David Moyes was quick to jump to his defense after his early bath at the City Ground.

The Scot said: “The departure was a huge blow because it was a close game and we were always 1-0.

“From the moment we came back to ten men, it would be twice as difficult.

“I thought Kalvin played much better today, he did a lot of good things.

“I didn't see it coming. The crowd played a big part in supporting Nottingham Forest, along with the referee, and played a role as they always do here.

“The first time the guy blocks him and he pushes him away because he's trying to play the game fast, while we're trying to get back in the game and win it.

“Nowadays you get a yellow card for being in front of the ball, so he shouldn't have pushed it, I understand that.

'The second one – I was only told – I didn't see it.

'But they say the two boots are very close and they just come together.

“It looks like a whole meal was made of it, but that's what it is.”

Chynna Phillips werd zaterdag niet gezien met haar man Billy Baldwin. Maar de actrice en zangeres was met een speciaal iemand in haar leven.

De blondine werd gespot terwijl ze poseerde met haar mini-me-dochter Brooke Baldwin, 19, tijdens de Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet Fall 2024-presentatie in New York City.

De 55-jarige ster zag er stralend uit in een veelkleurige jurk met haar blonde haar naar beneden en ze droeg weinig make-up.

Ze leek ook opgewekt toen ze naar de camera glimlachte tijdens het feest waar ook Katie Holmes en Gigi Beautiful aanwezig waren.

Haar tienerdochter was elegant in een zwarte jurk met witte strikken op de rok, een band om haar nek en haar haar netjes in een knotje.

Dit komt dagen nadat Chynna toegaf dat zij en Billy 'als een gek aan het kibbelen waren'.

De crooner zei dat ze 'zo geïrriteerd en geïrriteerd raakt door sommige van zijn kenmerken' – dagen nadat ze bekende dat haar religie een ernstige 'breuk' in hun huwelijk heeft veroorzaakt.

De ster, de dochter van Mamas & the Papas-bandleden John en Michelle Phillips, is de afgelopen maanden brutaal open geweest over haar en de huwelijksproblemen van de 60-jarige acteur.

Nu, in een andere onverschrokken eerlijke video die donderdag werd gedeeld op haar op geloof gebaseerde YouTube-kanaal, California Preachin', sprak Chynna verder over de groeiende kloof tussen haar en haar partner van 28 jaar.

Ze gaf toe dat ze zich de laatste tijd voortdurend 'boos' op hem voelt, wat ertoe heeft geleid dat ze non-stop ruzie hebben gemaakt.

'Billy en ik hebben als een gek gekibbeld,' zei ze. 'Als getrouwd stel hebben we overal gezondigd omdat we aan het kibbelen waren.

'Ik ben de vrouw geweest die lijkt op de vervelende druppelende kraan die maar blijft lekken. Ja, dat was ik.'

Chynna legde uit dat ze vaak 'zo geïrriteerd en geïrriteerd is door sommige van zijn kenmerken' en dat het 'haar bananen drijft'.

'Ik word boos op hem en ik voel me zo gefrustreerd door onze synergie [lately] en met onze dynamiek en de manier waarop we werken', vervolgde ze.

Maar ze voegde eraan toe dat ze zich erop concentreert om ‘een plek van vrede te bereiken’, zodat ze ‘erom kan lachen’ in plaats van zich er ‘door te laten vernietigen’.

Uiteindelijk hield ze vol: 'We begrijpen elkaar en houden van elkaar, en uiteindelijk zouden we niet anders willen.'

Tijdens de video vertelde de zangeres ook over haar ‘verlammende’ Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), waarbij ze uitlegde dat het ‘het voor haar onmogelijk maakt om zich ergens ‘langer dan 30 seconden op te concentreren’.

'30 seconden is een overwinning, dat is eigenlijk geweldig. Als ik dertig seconden lang ergens op gefocust kan blijven, dan doe ik dat ook', voegde ze eraan toe.

'Ik veroorzaak mijn eigen onderbreking, alsof ik mijn uiterste best doe om een ​​reden te vinden om niet gefocust te hoeven blijven op de taak waarmee ik bezig ben.

'Ik denk dat veel mensen de ernst van adhd niet begrijpen en hoeveel negatieve invloed het iemands leven kan hebben.'

Chynna zei dat ze, hoewel ze 'advies' wil vragen aan haar arts over hoe ze ermee om moet gaan, 'bang' is om hulp te krijgen en 'haar gedrag te veranderen', omdat ze het gevoel heeft dat 'haar gekheid en onvermogen om zich te concentreren haar definiëren'.

'Ik heb een behoorlijk ernstig geval van adhd, het is behoorlijk verlammend. Ik weet niet precies wat ik aan deze situatie moet doen, omdat het griezelig is, vervolgde ze.

'Ik heb er een beetje over gesproken op Cal Preach, maar ik weet niet of ik ooit echt heb gecommuniceerd hoe ernstig mijn probleem is.

'Ik probeer ermee in het reine te komen en ik denk dat ik serieus advies ga zoeken over wat ik moet doen.

'Ik heb nooit echt medische hulp gezocht voor mijn ADD. Ik heb aandacht gezocht voor mijn angst, ik heb aandacht gezocht voor mijn angst depressiemaar ik ben nooit echt agressief geweest in het zoeken naar hulp voor mijn adhd.

'Ik ontken het een beetje. Ik ben bang om mijn gedrag en mijn patronen te veranderen, omdat ik er zo lang op heb vertrouwd.

'Ik ben bang voor hoe het leven zou zijn zonder adhd. Ik veronderstel dat er een deel van mij is dat bang is voor wie ik ben zonder mijn adhd, het definieert mij een beetje.

'Mijn gekheid en mijn onvermogen om te focussen zijn een soort van mijn persoonlijkheid geworden. En ik ben een beetje zenuwachtig om het op te geven.'

Chynna sloot af door haar kijkers te vragen reacties achter te laten als ze zich konden identificeren met wat ze doormaakt, terwijl ze toegaf dat ze zich 'er behoorlijk alleen in voelde'.

'Er schuilt een beetje schaamte in het feit dat je ADHD hebt,' voegde ze eraan toe. '[Talking about it] het voelt alsof we min of meer toegeven dat we onverantwoordelijk zijn, of toegeven dat we niet in staat zijn dingen te doen die 'normale mensen' zonder veel moeite kunnen doen.'

Eerder deze maand legden Chynna en Billy, die in 1995 trouwden en samen drie kinderen verwelkomden, openhartig hun huwelijksproblemen bloot in een openhartige YouTube-video die op haar kanaal werd gedeeld.

Destijds gaven ze toe dat Chynna's nieuwe liefde voor Jezus een 'in het oog springende kwestie' was geworden, waardoor hij zich afvroeg of ze 'het op de lange termijn wel zouden redden'.

Chynna, die zich in 2022 tot het christendom bekeerde, zei in de video tegen Billy: 'Jij en ik hebben een soort systemisch probleem in onze relatie, namelijk dat je je leven en de wereld door een heel andere lens ziet dan ik.

‘Soms leidt dat tot breuken en kleine kloven in onze relatie, en we doen ons best om door die verschillen heen te komen.

'Het christendom-aspect is al een tijdje een in het oog springende kwestie, omdat [religion] heeft mijn leven in veel opzichten ingehaald.

'Het heeft je misschien zelfs doen afvragen of jij en ik het op de lange termijn wel kunnen redden.

'Je zou er nooit voor van me scheiden – maar [I think you wonder]”Zullen we echt gelukkig en verbonden kunnen blijven en kunnen gedijen terwijl ik dit Jezus-traject volg?”'

Billy theoretiseerde dat de kloof tussen hen het resultaat was van een ‘fantasie’ die Chynna had gecreëerd waarin ze een ‘team’ zouden worden dat ‘door het land reisde’ en over Jezus predikte – waarbij ze toegaf dat hun huwelijk ‘niet het partnerschap was geworden waarnaar ze verlangde of hoopte op.'

‘Maar ik hou nog steeds absoluut van je, aanbid je absoluut en steun je volledig in je geloof’, voegde hij eraan toe.

'Daarom zit ik hier nu, daarom gaan we samen naar de kerk, daarom bidden we samen, daarom praten we samen over het geloof.

'Daarom doe ik dit voor jou, daarom maak ik reclame [your channel] op mijn sociale media.

'Al deze dingen zijn omdat ik een ondersteunende, liefhebbende echtgenoot ben die dol is op zijn vrouw en de rest van zijn leven met haar wil doorbrengen. Geen vraag.

'Het is niet zo dat ik geen geloofsreis maak – ik bid met je, ik ga naar de kerk, ik geloof in God, ik erken en zie het bestaan ​​van God, ik weet gewoon niet in welke vorm dat is neemt.'

De muzikant onthulde eerder dat zij en Billy ‘zes maanden gescheiden waren’, maar ze gaf niet aan wanneer de breuk plaatsvond.

En in de video legde Billy uit dat het delen van de intieme details van hun relatie – inclusief haar bekentenis over hun korte breuk – hem ‘ongemakkelijk’ maakte omdat hij ‘niet echt wilde dat het onthuld werd.’

Maar Chynna vertelde de kijkers destijds dat ze, ondanks enkele van hun problemen, 'absoluut nog steeds van Billy hield'.

'Mijn gevoelens [towards you] zijn in de loop der jaren alleen maar gegroeid en toegenomen en geïntensiveerd. En dat meen ik met heel mijn hart,' zei ze tegen Billy. 'Ik hou van je met heel mijn hart.'

KALVIN PHILLIPS has opened up about his “stressful” 18-month hell at Manchester City.

And he admits: I had to leave to save my English Euro dream.

In his first major interview since joining West Ham on loan in January, the 28-year-old Three Lions midfielder also reveals:

• He lost his 'fire' because he spent most of his time on the bench.
• City boss Pep Guardiola shattered his confidence by berating him for being just THREE POUNDS overweight.
• His mother was so upset that she stopped coming to the games.
• England friend Declan Rice has sold West Ham to him and he feels 'alive' again.

Phillips admits that even the success of being part of City's squad that won the Treble, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club Cup was undermined after THREE starts in all five competitions.

And he stated: “I definitely wouldn't have been at this summer's Euros if I hadn't moved in January.

“I spoke to England boss Gareth Southgate about a few teams a month before the January window and he influenced me to stay in the Premier League rather than go abroad.

“I thought West Ham was the right place to go. You see the quality of the players in England, they play week in, week out.

“I wanted that same feeling of playing regularly, otherwise there was definitely a chance that someone else would play in my place and that would be heartbreaking.

“I wanted to give myself the best chance of reaching the European Championships.”

Phillips signed by City from Leeds in a £45million deal in July 2022 and admits there were 'down days' when he felt: 'I really don't care today. . . exactly the same. Go in, train, go home and have nothing to be excited about. It was stressful.”

Guardiola's too-tough joke after returning from Qatar in 2022 was his low point.

He said: “After the World Cup was probably the hardest thing, when Pep came out and said I was too heavy. He was right to do that, but there are different ways to go about it.

“Pep was frustrated that I didn't come back to training early, but it was just a miscommunication between the people at City and myself.

“Pep wanted me to come the day after we finished the tournament and be involved in friendlies and stuff. I never got that information because if he had asked me to be there, I would have.

“It was just a misunderstanding, he was very frustrated because I came back 1.5kg above my target weight.

“It has had a big impact on my self-confidence and my feeling at City. My family wasn't happy about it either. Especially mom.”

Lindsay Crosby couldn't bear to see her son left out so often.

Phillips said: “She got frustrated, she didn't come to watch as much because she didn't like watching football without me playing.”

On Sunday, Phillips will be reunited with Rice, the man who convinced him to move to east London and who returns to the London Stadium with his new Arsenal side following his £105m summer move.

Phillips added: “I spoke to Declan about West Ham and he said it's a huge family club and that's what I'm all about. I want to feel like I'm at home. West Ham was the club I wanted.”

Lauren Phillips and Jase Hawkins will take on Kyle and Jackie O in Melbourne after Nova 100 picked up their extended breakfast show.

The radio duo, who were replaced by Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson during their historic $200 million, ten-year radio expansion into the Victorian capital, have been picked up by Nova 100 as part of a new breakfast series in Melbourne.

Nova Entertainment announced on Friday that the broadcasters will be making the jump, replacing their network's current breakfast show team Ben Harvey, Liam Stapleton and Belle Jackson.

“I am beyond excited to join the Nova family,” Lauren, 41, said in a statement.

'I have been a fan of the channel for a long time and to become a member of Nova 100 is truly a dream come true.'

She added: 'I've made the most of a few months off but my plans to become a professional dog walker are now on hold and I'm so ready to get back to work with Jase here in Melbourne.'

Meanwhile, Jase, 42, said: “I'm ready to have a job again. I'm even more thrilled that we can join Nova.”

'I have always wanted to be part of this network throughout my career, it suits Loz and me perfectly. So I'm sorry Nova, we're never leaving again,” he added.

'Melbourne, we're back! So join us and come to Nova.'

Nova 100's current breakfast team, Ben, Liam & Belle, will host a brand new national show, Late Drive, airing weekdays from 6pm to 8pm.

Jase and Lauren taped their final KISS FM show on December 1, while ARN released a statement earlier this year revealing that Byron Cooke will remain on KIIS 101.1 all summer before Kyle and Jackie O travel south.

In November, Sydney-based radio duo Kyle and Jackie 'O' signed a record-breaking 10-year, $200 million deal that will keep them on air until 2034.

An ARN spokesperson confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that the deal for the Sydney duo meant their work friends Jase Hawkins and Lauren Phillips were unemployed and their Melbourne breakfast show ended in December.

Lauren broke down in tears as she announced the news to her listeners, sobbing that she “didn't want to say goodbye to Melbourne.”

Jase and Lauren's show was successful for KIIS FM, attracting new listeners to the station and ranking third in the Melbourne market behind Fox FM's Fifi Fev & Nick and GOLD104.3's Christian O'Connell.

In a statement celebrating the historic contract extension, Sandilands said: “Fans of the show will be pleased to hear that this 10-year deal is the longest radio deal in Australian history.

“Love us or loathe us, Jackie and I will continue with our politically incorrect nonsense for a long time.”

He added: “We would like to thank the listeners. Staff. All clients. Even senior management, I'll give a nod to that. They've actually done something brilliant.'

The duo will dominate markets beyond their Sydney audience, expanding their reach into Melbourne for the first time.

It has been reported that a unique clause in the contract gives Sandilands the ability to broadcast the show 'anywhere in the world'.

The shock jock has often worked on the KIIS FM show from Los Angeles and other places, so the new contract will give him the flexibility to continue broadcasting wherever he wants.

MANCHESTER UNITED fans pranked Kalvin Phillips by mocking his weight as he warmed up.

The midfielder is on loan from rival Manchester City to West Ham, while the Hammers visit Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Red Devils had a comfortable 3-0 win as Phillips played the final 18 minutes from the bench.

The United faithful enjoyed the show of young players Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho, both of whom were on the scoresheet.

But they also had plenty of entertainment around Phillips as he warmed up on the sidelines.

Fans booed the England star, chanting: “Phillips, show us your t**s. Phillips, Phillips show us your t**s”.

The former Leeds ace obliged and, with a smile on his face, lifted his bib to show off his chest – much to the amusement of the supporters sitting in the stands.

It is not the first time Phillips has been subjected to such treatment at Old Trafford, with fans singing the same song when the midfielder visited Manchester City in January 2023.

It came after Pep Guardiola dropped Phillips from his squad after claiming he returned from the World Cup in England overweight.

Guardiola said: “He is not injured, he arrived overweight.

“He didn't get in the condition to train and play. That's why he can't play.”

“When he is ready, he will play because we need him, we need him very much.”
