JENNY McCRIRICK remains as loyal and formidable as ever.

You had to be both – and much, much more – to keep your distance in what was a 48-year marriage to Big Mac.

She told me, ‘People said John’s smoking caused his cancer.

‘But I am convinced it was his dismissal from Channel 4 and then the resulting tribunal that cost him his life. It hurt him so much.

“I knew him better than anyone and nothing anyone says will convince me otherwise.

“We used to be a big family with Channel 4. But when he was forced off the air, it was devastating for him.”

Jenny, of course, found her own fame when she appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap with Big Mac and John and Edwina Currie.

Race viewers only knew Jenny as ‘The Booby’, the nickname Big Mac gave her. She was rarely seen but was always mentioned on air.

She said: “People always said it was derogatory to be given that name, but I loved it.

“John had his way. I let him think he was the boss, but he knew I was in charge at home.

“His on-air character was just a show – and he was very good at it.”

John completely relied on Jenny. Just before midnight on Friday evening she drove to King’s Cross Station to buy the first editions of all the newspapers for his TV review the next day.

He was fully prepared, while John Francome and Alistair Down were able to appear on the program for a few minutes and talk their way through the programme.

She added: ‘After his death I found the Cheltenham Festival quite disturbing. Too many memories.”

Big Mac was into more than just the whining. Jenny said: “He loved all our dogs and cats.

“When John died, I sold a lot of his hats and caps. All the money went to animal charities. He would have wanted that.

“One day I opened the car door at our hotel in Cheltenham and a little kitten jumped in. She lived a rough life.

“Of course John and I ended up taking her home – and to this day I still have Gertrude.”

The sexting scandal that has engulfed Christian Hoorner and Red Bull Racing has more corners than a typical Grand Prix.

The Red Bull team boss has been in charge of one of the sport’s biggest brands since 2005, but allegations of inappropriate behavior threatened to derail his career in February. That could still happen, despite being cleared of wrongdoing.

And now a three-time world champion Max VerstappenHis father, himself a former Formula 1 driver, became involved. While it remains to be seen how this will all play out, it’s entirely possible that Horner, 50, will eventually leave Red Bull and Verstappen, 26, will have his contract terminated – or both.

As always in the racing world, there is a lot to follow. Keep reading to know everything about the situation:

Who is Christian Horner?

Horner is the director and CEO of Red Bull Racing. After a successful racing career, Horner retired from racing in 1999 and took up his current job at the age of 25, making him the youngest team principal at the time. Since taking over, Red Bull has won thirteen world titles, including six Constructors’ World Championships and seven Drivers’ World Championships.

In 2015, Horner married Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. The two share son Monty, and Horner also has a daughter, Olivia, from his previous marriage Beverly Allen. He is also the stepfather of Halliwell’s daughter Bluebell, whom she shares with ex Sacha Gervasi.

Why was Christian Horner investigated?

Red Bull launched an investigation in February into allegations that Horner had ‘engaged in inappropriate conduct’ towards a member of the team. Horner denied any wrongdoing at the time, saying on February 15: “I obviously completely deny the allegations that have been made against me. There is a process underway and that is of course being worked on at the moment.”

Although Red Bull initially did not release any further details, a document full of screenshots of sexually suggestive text messages was soon leaked. The messages, reportedly from Horner, were addressed to an unnamed female employee.

What was the outcome of the investigation?

Red Bull completed its investigation at the end of February and cleared Horner of any wrongdoing. While clarifying that his accuser has the right to appeal, Red Bull expressed confidence in the fairness of the investigation.

“The independent investigation into the allegations against Mr Horner has been completed and Red Bull can confirm that the complaint has been dismissed,” a company statement said. “The complainant has the right to appeal. Red Bull is confident that the investigation was fair, rigorous and impartial. The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who participated in the investigation. Out of respect for all involved, we will therefore not comment further. Red Bull will continue to strive to meet the highest standards in the workplace.”

The alleged text messages were leaked a day after Red Bull announced it had acquitted Horner.

What does Max Verstappen’s father have to do with it?

Jos Verstappen is in a position of great influence in the Formula 1 world. The former F1 driver has been open about his dislike for Horner, and as the father of the most dominant driver in the world today, his demands for Horner’s dismissal will not fall on deaf ears.

“The team is in danger of being torn apart,” he says told the Daily email. “It cannot continue as it is. It will explode. He plays the victim, while he is the one causing the problems.”

The Telegraph also reported that Jos has said his son would leave Red Bull if Horner remains at the helm.

Red Bull Racing called Jos’ comments “untrue” in a statement. CNN on Monday, March 4, adding, “We are united as a team and we are focused on the racing.”

The Daily Mail subsequently published a report on Tuesday, March 5, which claimed Jos had been in a relationship with the woman at the center of the Horner scandal and became angry when the alleged explicit messages began.

Sky Sports Italy has obtained footage of Jos and Horner in a heated argument during the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday, March 2, and ESPN has reported that Jos does not plan to attend the upcoming Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Saturday, March 9 .

Will Max Verstappen stay at Red Bull?

Max is under contract with Red Bull until 2028, but he does have an exit clause in his deal stating that he can leave as Red Bull director immediately Helmut Marko also decides to leave. F1 Insider asked Marko about the clause and Marko replied: “As for me, I will not stand in Max’s way [should he decide to leave].”

To fuel the speculation even further, Jos was seen talking to the director of Mercedes Toto Wolff at the Bahrain Grand Prix, and the duo also reportedly had dinner. Mercedes has an open seat next year and is in need of some extra star power Lewis Hamilton on the way to Ferrari. While this scenario doesn’t seem likely, it is certainly on the table.

Max expressed his support for his father during a press conference on Wednesday, March 6, ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. “My father, as I know him in karting, is very outspoken and he is not a liar, that’s for sure,” he told reporters. Reuters. “My father and I are very close. We call every day.”

Does Christian Horner’s accuser still work for Red Bull Racing?

ESPN reported on Thursday, March 7, that the female employee who accused Horner of inappropriate behavior had been suspended from Red Bull Racing due to findings from the investigation. The employee was suspended with full pay and still has the right to appeal Horner’s not guilty verdict.

For his part, Horner said he could not comment on “anything confidential between an employee and a company” during a news conference Thursday.

Cindy Kimberly looked stunning as she posed for her first PrettyLittleThing TV advert after being announced as the brand’s newest ambassador for 2024.

The 25-year-old model, who is the girlfriend of footballer Dele Alli, showed off her sensational figure as she modeled a number of stylish outfits from PLT LABEL.

The influencer turned heads as she entered the set in a brown mini dress with a cut-out shirt, paired with sky-high heels and sunglasses.

Cindy then changed into a chic green, plunging blazer dress with a pleated skirt before slipping into a daring blue, semi-sheer cut-out maxi dress.

She showed off her amazing figure in the racy number as she played with her hair in the video.

For her latest ensemble, Cindy showed off her toned midriff in a long-sleeved crop top, which she paired with a matching skirt and white pointy heels.

This unveiling marks an exciting collaboration that sees Cindy, better known to many through her Instagram account @wolfiecindy, take the spotlight as the face of the brand for the year.

The collaboration underlines the brand’s commitment to aligning itself with influential personalities who bring a fresh dynamic to their collections and brand identity.

Dele and Cindy made their relationship public in June 2022 when they were spotted vacationing on a yacht in Italy.

The Everton player has been a Premier League footballer for eight years, but Cindy’s rise to fame was much less straightforward.

In 2015, Justin Bieber, then 21, posted a photo of Cindy, then 17, on his Instagram with the caption, “Omg who is this!!”, propelling Cindy to worldwide fame.

Justin had noticed Cindy when she regularly posted about him on Instagram and on the drama series Teen Wolf, which is where the “wolfie” in her username comes from.

Dele previously dated model Ruby Mae from 2016 to 2022, when they reportedly split due to Dele’s Fortnite obsession.

Although Cindy and Justin were never officially in a relationship, she dated Lewis Hamilton and American rapper Tyga.

Cindy has been a great support to Dele recently as he opened up about the sexual abuse he suffered as a child.

The model also stood by him as he opened up about his addictions and mental health issues.

Cindy, born Cindy Kimberly Rubira Adsuar, was a Belieber (Justin Bieber fan) since she was 10 years old.

Just days before Justin posted her, she had deactivated her account, despondent that he hadn’t noticed her after so many years.

She was in Spain at the time, babysitting for just £3 an hour, and her life changed completely in one night.

Cindy now works full-time as a model and has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated and Cosmopolitan magazines.

Marie Helvin has revealed her secret to being body positive at 71 after her latest lingerie campaign.

The supermodel was recently announced as the new face of Bluebella lingerie’s campaign as she set pulses racing during the sexy shoot.

Speaking about how she achieves her toned physique, the American star appeared on Loose Women on Monday, where she spoke candidly about how she stays confident about her body.

She said: ‘It’s my job so I have to be confident, I have no choice. When I’m not doing the work I’m not doing, I support myself this way.

‘For me, modeling lingerie is the same as modeling swimwear, so it doesn’t phase me at all.’

Revealing how she stays in such incredible shape, Marie explained: ‘Honestly, there are certain tricks I do as a model and the main one is that I cut out all sugar 10 days before the shoot.

‘I have a terrible sweet tooth so no more Kit Kats or Mars Bars for 10 days and it’s incredible how your skin tightens up a bit. It’s good for the camera.’

Host Ruth Langsford asked the star: “Do you like being seen as an inspirational woman?” as Marie replied that she doesn’t see herself as such.

‘No, but I like women to look at it and think, ‘oh, she looks good, I can look good too’, because what I do is achievable for everyone.

‘It just takes discipline. That’s really true, working in the gym has to be regular, you have to do it constantly. I’m really looking forward to it because I think I’m getting high on the endorphins.”

Marie also gave an update on her health after being diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, just before her 70th birthday.

Speaking about her diagnosis, Marie explained that the lump seemed to appear out of nowhere.

She explained, “I was always checking myself, and it seemed like it came out of nowhere. One week he wasn’t there and the next week he was there.

‘They caught it early, it was stage 1, but I still had to have a mastectomy, but they were able to save my skin and my nipple, so they removed everything behind that and replaced it with an implant.’

While Marie has now made the all clear, she explained that she has been put on a five-year treatment plan, which is also taking its toll.

‘I have everything clear, but now I am struggling with my treatment, I have a treatment that will last 5 years and I have just finished my first year.

‘The three drugs they use here mimic the symptoms of menopause. So it’s like I’m going through menopause again.

‘I sleep the way I want, I can’t sleep, I wake up with night sweats.’

About her breast cancer diagnosis, Marie said in an interview with the Daily Mail in December 2022: ‘I had a vision, an idea of ​​myself, I think, about how fit and healthy I was.’

‘As a model, my body was my instrument and I always took care of it. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I exercise every day, so I guess that made me think that something like that couldn’t happen to me because I didn’t fit the profile.

‘Now I know what a load of nonsense that is. It made me realize that appearances can be deceiving.’

‘Before the operation I decided to be strong. “I knew I had to get myself in the best shape possible to get through it,” she said.

‘But now sometimes I just sit in bed and cry for no reason. Even after everything, there’s a part of me that can’t believe it happened. No one can explain to me why that was the case. It’s just one of those things.’

THIS racing punter was celebrating after turning £2 into just under £90,000 on a one-off bet at Wolverhampton.

The William Hill customer somehow managed to pick the winner of all eight races on Saturday evening.

1

They placed £1 each way on the monstrous eight-way accumulator and watched as one by one they came home, raking in a return of £89,635.88.

Incredibly, no horse was taller than 13-2 Cosmos Raj, the fourth horse on the card to win.

And it was dominated by the runners at the top of the market.

But on a circuit as tricky in all weather conditions as Wolverhampton, it takes a huge effort to choose the winner of each race.

Even more so because the gambler managed to back a large portion of the runners at prices greater than SP (starting price).

One More Wave kicked things off by winning the 5pm race on par before Blue Collar Lad prevailed 5-2 in the next race.

Savannah Smiles won 5-1 before Cosmos Raj kept the acca rolling.

Angel Of Antrim were a 4-1 winner, ahead of 5-2 at Liberty.

Bungle Bay’s 11-4 victory in the penultimate race – a 7f Class contest – meant it all depended on teenage jockey Billy Loughnane in the final.

The bettor backed Sunblock at 10-3 and George Boughey’s runner was backed at 11-4.

The three-year-old filly switched gears straight away after a steady start and made good progress a furlong from home.

She then hit the front in the final hundred meters and kept going well to secure the monumental payout.

William Hill licked their wounds after being handed over to such an extent, but spokesman Lee Phelps congratulated the punter on their ‘amazing’ win.

He said: “The card in Wolverhampton on Saturday certainly wasn’t the most striking, but it turned out to be quite a memorable card for a William Hill customer.

“In some seriously impressive fashion, the punter managed to find the winner of each of the eight races on the card, winning just under £90,000.

“What was all the more impressive was that they won the prize with a bet of just £1 each way.

“I’m sure there were a few parties after the final selection. Sunblock got the job done!”
