Diamondback Energy (FANG) is closing in on an approximately $5 billion acquisition of Double Eagle V, an EnCap Investments-backed company with oil and gas holdings in the Texas Permian Basin, the Financial Times reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the discussions.

Mother-to-be Peace and her husband Q bravely spoke out about their two miscarriages.

A mother-to-be was left overcome with worry as she prepared for the birth of her twins following two losses.

Documentary hit One Born Every Minute is back with a new season full of emotional stories on E4 and the latest episode saw Peace and her husband Q arrive at the hospital for an elective C-section, where she opened up about her multiple miscarriages before conceiving twins. She described her shock when she found out during her ultrasound scan she was expecting twins, as she has no immediate twins in her family.

Peace recognised she was considered a “high-risk” pregnancy, revealing her babies were “on the small side” and their growth needed to be closely monitored. “It has been an emotional rollercoaster these past nine months,” she admitted. “But I have been around a lot of positive people, I come from a very positive family.”

“There are so many things that can change in the flicker of an eye,” she shared, opening up about her anxiety ahead of the birth of her son and daughter as she explained her previous baby loss experience.

“The magic of pregnancy kind of goes away when you have losses,” she disclosed, before Q revealed the couple had been through two miscarriages. “I went in to A&E and they were just like ‘Yeah, there’s nothing there’. We were like OK, we will try again, and it happened again. It was a very emotional time,” Peace recalled.

Q said he could not afford to experience sadness, as “I have got to be the one she can lean on”. The couple had initially decided not to try a third time, but later found out they were expecting twins and were over the moon.

Q shared: “This third one is really special, to know you are having twins. It feels like the first baby and second baby both came at the same time. God just said I took them away but you can have them back now.”

Despite his excitement, Q admitted, “I’m really scared about the birth, I don’t want anything to happen to Peace, I just want her to be OK.” Before her c-section, Peace said “I’m absolutely panicking” as she got emotional about how her babies were “going to be so small”, and she broke down in tears.

Her mum was present to reassure her, and thankfully, she went on to have a successful c-section and welcomed her two babies, as Q cried with happiness. The couple met on Instagram, with Peace admitting she put up “a bit of resistance” before letting her guard down and the pair went on to get married.

The episode also featured Maxine, who found out she was pregnant shortly after the baby’s father left her, and it broke her trust in relationships. She had been scheduled for a C-section, but as her waters broke early, she required an earlier theatre slot.

“I had the date with the baby’s father, we had a really good time, we had been dating for about four months but he sort of said to me, ‘I don’t think you are the right person for me'”, she recalled.

“And then it was probably three weeks after that I realised ‘Hang on a second, I’ve not had my period, it’s late’. And then I thought I’m going to have to tell the father, but we weren’t going to get back together because I don’t want to be with someone who is not 100 per cent for me. He said to me whatever you decide, I will support you.”

She went on to have a successful C-section and welcomed a baby girl, saying: “This is something that I have always wanted, and if I didn’t decide to continue with the pregnancy, I would forever regret not having this baby.”

Fermin Lopez brace has Barcelona come from behind to win 2-1 at Atletico Madrid to go three points clear in La Liga.

Fermin Lopez scored twice as Barcelona overcame an early deficit at Atletico Madrid to win 2-1 and go three points clear at the top of La Liga.

Barca’s win takes them three points clear of second-placed Real Madrid and five ahead of Atletico, in third, after 12 games.

Giuliano Simeone opened the scoring in the 10th minute for the home side, turning home a close range volley from Julian Alvarez’s cross from the left.

The home side had a series of early chances as they sought to register an eighth straight win, but Fermin swept in an equaliser on the cusp of halftime after a ball broke to him in the box.

Lamine Yamal set up Fermin’s second goal in the 66th minute with an incisive pass, and Lopez fired past Jan Oblak with a first-time finish to silence the Metropolitano and secure a fifth straight away league win over Atleti for the first time.

“It was a very difficult match. The first half was tough, but we managed to come from behind and secure the win,” Barcelona midfielder Lopez told La Liga TV after the match.

“I think we were not being clinical enough. After the goal, we gained more confidence.

“Lamine [Yamal] has been very good. His pass for the second goal was half the goal itself. I’m very happy,” Lopez said.

“We wanted to go into the break as league leaders and get three points. The equaliser lifted a weight off our shoulders, and we had more control.

“We knew at halftime that we had to continue playing the way we finished the first half. I think the team produced an incredible second half, both defensively and offensively. We’re very happy.”

Stockport goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond is given a straight red card after a challenge on the edge of the box and from the subsequent free-kick Alex Hernandez doubles Cray Wanderers’ lead with a fantastic free-kick.

FOLLOWING his dramatic eviction from the Big Brother house on Friday, Philip Regan was a no-show on spin-off The Group Chat.

The sister series, hosted by Kate Lawler and GK Barry, welcomes freshly-evicted housemates to dissect their time in the house.

But Philip was not featured on the latest instalment, having last been seen during the brutal double eviction on Friday, which descended into chaos as he furiously turned on the heckling crowd during his exit interview.

Fellow evictee Rhianna Collins appeared solo, as did house guest Tiffany Pollard; yet Philip was absent, with the hosts saying he “is needed at home with his family.”

On Friday night, the Liverpudlian housemate was met with a barrage of boos after being booted out of the ITV2 house ahead of Rhianna.

When Philip sat down with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best for his exit chat, things got spicier, with audience members continuing to shout and jeer throughout the interview.

BACK DOOR BOOT

Big Brother viewers convinced housemate will face a back door eviction

The evicted star was left fuming after discovering that fellow housemate Rochelle had nominated him, before hitting back at the audience, declaring: “It’s a game, we signed up for it and you know what, I bet every one of you wish you could have been in there. I lived it.”

As the crowd erupted into boos, Philip shouted “Hang on!” and attempted to quieten the hecklers.

The drama continued when he was questioned about his explosive bust-ups with Celebrity Big Brother legend Tiffany, snapping: “She came for me, she’s been paid to come for me.”

He added: “I’m proud, no matter what anyone thinks, it was hard work.”

Philip then turned his attention to fellow housemate Twinks, admitting he initially disliked her because he felt she expected everyone to approach her when she first entered the house.

Defending his attitude, he insisted “it’s our house”, prompting the audience to chant back: “It’s Big Brother’s house!”

Clearly irritated, Philip fired back “oh alright love, you’ve had your five minutes,” sparking yet more boos.

He then declared: “It is what it is, I can’t be arsed talking about it. It’s all about me.”

Viewers watching at home were stunned by the scenes, with one writing on X: “Philip crashing out is the best TV.”

Another posted: “This interview is chaotic.”

Another fan wrote “LMAOOOO everyone going for Phil”, while someone else declared: “Phil getting berated im OBSESSED!”

Another defended him, writing: “That crowd need to stfu!”

After much change on Strictly Come Dancing, could we be about to see more? Judging panel conversations are yet to be had and there’s speculation two aren’t sure

BBC bosses are said to be growing concerned that Strictly’s popular judging panel could be about to be split up.

Following a huge revamp this series that saw Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe replace departuring long-term co-hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, more big changes could be around the corner.

Producers are starting to fear Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse may not be back, it has been claimed, with other big names already dropping hints that they will return in 2027. Despite contract talks officially not yet starting, it has been suggested that Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood have suggested they will be back.

There is doubt over head coach Shirley’s future after she quickstepping over the Atlantic after landing a gig on the US counterpart Dancing With The Stars.

There is little doubt Craig wants to carry on. The star has served on the judging panel since the inaugural series of the beloved show in 2004, while Anton assumed his position at the table in 2021.

Now Strictly fans are facing an anxious wait to see if long-serving Shirley – who would be celebraing a decade on the show if she stayed – and Motsi, who has been on the panel since 2019, will remain.

“Strictly love the current judging panel and are really keen to try and persuade everyone to come back next year,” a source told The Sun, “Contract negotiations won’t start until the current series is wrapped, but already Craig and Anton have made it clear they intend to return.

“Motsi and Shirley are yet to make up their minds. Shirley in particular could be a flight risk for bosses, especially if her guest appearance on Dancing With The Stars goes well.”

The Mirror has approached reps for Shirley and Motsi as well as Strictly for comment.

But another insider told us: “This is likely based on the fact that Craig and Anton are both performing in theatre tours next autumn, with the websites for both productions advising that Anton and Craig won’t appear at the Saturday dates of these shows – making it clear that they’re expected to be in Elstree recording Strictly on Saturdays. Shirley and Motsi don’t have theatre tours taking place.”

The BBC has meanwhile responded to claims it has already decided to change its new presenting line-up after just a few weeks.

Presenting pro Emma has predictably been a safe pair of hands since the new series kicked off in September. However, while some viewers are enjoying the camaraderie between the new trio, others have expressed concerns about the chemistry between comedian Josh.

Professional dancer, Johannes, has been accused of being out of his depth by some in the former Clauditorium.

Claiming bosses at the Beeb are aware the new format doesn’t work and are concerned the jewel in the broadcaster’s crown has become something of a “laughing stock”, a source said to be close to Strictly allegedly told the Daily Mail: “It doesn’t work. Not only have many of the traditional viewers stopped watching, the show has become the butt of jokes, a laughing stock.

“It’s like those choosing were trying to be kooky and cool, and they saw something that might appeal to young people.”

It’s thought that mum-of-three, Emma, 50, will stay on Strictly, but Josh’s future could be in doubt. “It isn’t working,” says the source said to be close to the show.

Meanwhile, dancer, Johannes, has also come under fire, with one new theory suggesting that the South African star may become one of the Strictly judges next year

However, responding to the comments, the BBC told the Mirror that the anonymous source comments were “pure and utter speculation”.
