Amir Khan has splashed out thousands on his son's first birthday - buying the youngster a £30,000 Rolex watch and throwing a safari-themed party. The boxer, 34, and his wife Faryal Makhdoom spared no expense when their little boy Muhammad Zaviyar marked the milestone. He turned one on February 22, but the couple didn't share pictures of their celebrations until this week. They threw a lavish party for the youngster, which included shipping in jungle-style foliage and filling their living room with huge cuddly toys including a lion, tiger and giraffe. They also bought him a matching cake, decorated with greenery as well as giraffes and an elephant. Faryal , 29, posted a picture of the bash on her Instagram page, revealing the pair presented their one-year-old son with a £30,000 Rolex.

She captioned the picture: "Zaviyar’s 1st Lockdown … [Read more...] about Amir Khan splurges thousands on son’s first birthday with £30k Rolex and huge cake

Imagining what we’d do if we won the lottery is a guaranteed cheerer upper. Especially now, when the lottery  jackpots seem bigger than ever. My mum played the same numbers every week and I still remember them. If she won a tenner she was as delighted as if she’d won a million. But I agreed when Mum said the jackpots were too big and the lottery should be more widely shared to make more families happy. If one person won last night’s £180million Euro lottery, surely that’s too much for any one person? I stopped playing the lottery after I lost Mum. But I still sometimes imagine what I’d do if I won. I’d look after any friends and family who were a bit short then donate to charities. And I’d build a special Alzheimer’s home and personally interview all the staff to make sure they had genuine kindness. I have no interest in swapping my house for a big mansion because my memories of my late husband Colin are here. Posh designer clothes don’t give me a thrill because I’d only get … [Read more...] about Robbie Savage’s mum says ‘£180m lottery win is too much for just one person’

Tokyo Olympics make late bid for gender equality Grammozis becomes Schalke's fifth coach of the season Bobic claims he will leave Frankfurt at end of season March 3 Tokyo Olympics makes late bid for gender equality Tokyo Olympics CEO Toshiro Muto has announced that the 12 women will be added to the Games' executive board, which will increase in size from 33 to 45 as a result.

Alex Jones has revealed lockdown ruined Matt Baker's plans to move forward in his career after quitting The One Show last year. The pair were the regular presenters of the BBC series until Matt , 43, walked away from the role in 2020, admitting he wanted to put his family first. Alex has now opened up about how her former co-star has been getting on, admitting lockdown put a damper on all his plans for life after The One Show. She told OK! magazine : "He’s really happy as well, doing his own thing. "It's been an odd year, obviously.

Matt was replaced by stars including Ronan Keating, Jermaine Jenas and Chris Ramsey, who have been presenting the show alongside Alex since he left.
