Fraser

After a poor run of form in the first half of last season, Everitt appeared to be under pressure before a late season upturn in performances and results took Edinburgh to the URC quarter-finals and the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup.

The South African’s contract expires at the end of the season and he confirmed he has yet to receive an offer of a new deal from Scottish Rugby.

Results in the next few months could determine Everitt’s future, but Brown believes Edinburgh’s problems run deeper than just the head coach.

“Edinburgh seem to be going between either a Richard Cockerill character, where they have to be shouted at and it’s very authoritarian all the time, or a Mike Blair or Sean Everitt character,” Brown, who started his career with Edinburgh before forging his reputation at Glasgow Warriors, said.

“It just seems like they can’t quite hit that sweet spot in the middle. At the same time, you can’t forget that’s a squad packed full of Scotland starters.

“Why is it that they can’t get results? They can get the one-off, the big results. We saw that in the run at the end of last season, getting into European play-offs, but they don’t seem to be able to get consistency throughout the week from game to game. I don’t think that’s just a coaching issue.

“We can’t just keep getting into that kind of cycle of new head coach, get rid of the head coach, new head coach, get rid of the head coach. There is something kind of systemic there.”

At the National Television Awards, we exclusively revealed how Yasmin was cosying up to Freddie.

She even whispered in the ear of The Traitors star to escape prying eyes, saying: “We need to go somewhere private, no one can see.”

Meanwhile Jamie lamented her disappearance, and as our exclusive video shows.

He was heard telling pals she had “f**ked off” – appearing to admit that the TV couple were on the rocks.

Now Freddie has caused a stir with his latest TikTok video where he flaunted his sleek black wide leg suit and double breasted jacket he wore to the event.

But in a more pointed nod, the song he used as the backing track was Rihanna‘s 2007 hit track, Breakin’ Dishes.

In an even more cheeky move, the lyrics of the song are: “Is he cheatin’?

“Man, I don’t know. I’m lookin’ ’round for somethin’ else to throw.”

Given the recent news, fans could not help but see the irony of the track as they took to the comments section with a flurry of speculation.

One user exclaimed: “The song seems fitting.”

A second fan took note of the lyrics as they simply commented with their spin on the quote, writing: “Is she cheating…..cause her man don’t know”!!”

“[Crying with laughter emoji] song choice,” said a third follower.

While a fourth stated: “The song choice is wildddd after the reports today [bold eyes emoji]”

As someone else claimed: “Sings really fitting well rn [two skull emojis].”

However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose.

While a sixth remarked: “The song choice is crazy if I’m being honest”

And a seventh added: “The song choice [crying with laughter emoji],” alongside a GIF of Sharon Osbourne bursting into hysterics on The X Factor.

Rob Fraser, the heritage stonemason at BBC’s The Repair Shop, was tasked with a delicate restoration that required careful attention to detail, as he warned ‘this is not going to be easy’

The latest instalment of BBC’s The Repair Shop left viewers reaching for the tissues, as newcomer Rob Fraser was given the task of restoring an item with enormous sentimental value.

During Tuesday’s (August 26) episode, which recently saw one expert fret about their repair, heritage stonemason Rob Fraser was introduced to a couple, John and Margaret Ivin, who had brought along a fragment of plaster from their kitchen wall for restoration.

The damaged pieces of plaster bore writing on them, which prompted BBC favourite Dominic China to ask about its importance.

Margaret explained that during a kitchen refurbishment last summer, their builder had uncovered the message concealed behind one of the original cupboards. She said: “Where they’d taken one of the original cupboards off the wall, this was behind it and it was a complete shock to see it there.”

The message had been penned by their late son Christopher when he was approximately 14-years-old. It read: “This is original wallpaper. Friday 4:15 8th December 1989. Please leave this wallpaper, Chris.”

Margaret, clearly emotional, explained that Christopher frequently left messages for them. She then disclosed the devastating news that their son had tragically passed away from a rare form of testicular cancer when he was nearly 35.

She said: “It was 18 months from diagnosis to when he died. When you lose a child, you never get over it, you get through it and we’ve just got through it.”

Discovering their son’s handwriting once again on the plasterwork proved deeply emotional, and it became apparent that Rob was facing an enormously difficult task ahead.

Taking a closer look at the damaged plaster, he said: “There’s so much going on, the paper is really fragmented, so that’s very risky. I’ll have to take my time, I might need some help.

“It’s not going to be easy. I need to get eyes on all these pieces and work out what condition each individual piece is in. I’m really nervous about handling this. This is gypsum plaster, which is very brittle.”

In the end, Rob successfully managed to restore the plasterwork and the time came to show John and Margaret the final result as the expert called upon two more specialists from the workshop to help.

When the big reveal happened, they were completely amazed as Margaret gasped: “That’s amazing.” Both were moved to tears as John could be spotted wiping his eyes.

She added: “What can I say? What can I say? It’s funny handwriting, he would be chuffed to bits to see that. I mean, he was what, 14? and he would’ve been 48 this year.”

John said: “He was a lovely boy, yeah.” Both thanked the experts for fixing the damaged plaster as they stressed how incredible it was.
