Gary Neville makes surprise move to BBC show
Gary Neville is joining Dragons' Den. The former footballer and businessman is right back in the limelight after signing up to the programme as a guest dragon for the upcoming series. It’s a surprise, but then again should it be? He’s been speaking an awful lot of business mumbo jumbo recently, talking like someone addicted to the ‘grindset’ and describing his “mini-retirements” that the rest of us would call holidays. Neville has entered into a number of different ventures since returning from football in 2011. He co-owns Salford City football club, as well as a hotel and a hospitality company. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Fashion designer and entrepreneur Emma Grede will also join the series as a guest dragon, alongside regulars Steven Bartlett, Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Sara Davies. Speaking about joining the programme, Neville said: “I am excited to join the Dragons, and to meet the entrepreneurs brave enough to face us in the Den. "I hope my personal journey shows that you can take the experiences you’ve had in one part of your career and use them to do something entirely different and make it a success." "Business is all about managing people and managing yourself and I’m looking forward to sharing my experience to help the entrepreneurs we’ll meet in the Den reach their potential,” the 48-year-old went on to say. Look out for Neville on the programme next year. It comes after Neville claimed weird things have been happening to him since he started criticising the Conservatives a couple of years ago, then led by Boris Johnson. The football pundit told The Guardian about all the things that happened to him during this period and even revealed that he had freedom of information requests put in against him. “While he was prime minister, I felt we were in real danger. All my life, I’ve been in teams where you look after one another. This lot don’t think that way. They’re in it for themselves and on the take,” he said. "It’s damaging our country, our integrity, our international standing. We’re a laughing stock. Johnson has got to be expelled from British politics for good. So do all his cronies who enabled him.

Lily Alllen steps-in to help anyone struggling with a post-Glastonbury comedown
More than 200,000 people went to Glastonbury this year, and a significant amount of them will be suffering crushing comedowns this week (from all that alcohol they’ve been drinking, obviously). But they need not worry, because Lily Allen has given her qualified medical opinion on the matter – and it’s pretty good advice. The 'Smile' and 'LDN' singer tweeted on 26 June: “Thoughts are with those starting their post Glastonbury comedowns today, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS." Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “It will take somewhere between a week and month depending on your age and what exactly you may have consumed, but you will get through this.” She added in another post: “Start with a good fry up, some electrolytes, berocca, plenty of water and stay away from anything like Grey's Anatomy or The Notebook.” Twitter users were quick to thank the singer. One user said: “Thank you Lily, you got me and @MarisaMuramatsu through the early hours journey home.” Another added: “I’m still recovering from 1987 tbh.” And one other said: “Needed to see this. This car journey home, emotions are all over the gaff!” This year’s Glastonbury, which finished yesterday, saw headliners Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Sir Elton John play to vast crowds. While Allen was not on the lineup, her 2022 rendition of her hit 'F*** You' will still be fresh in the minds of fans, when she joined pop star Olivia Rodrigo on stage for a surprise appearance. Meanwhile, her 2009 song, 'Everyone’s At It', took a pop at people in the media and politics who are hypocritical about alcohol and drug use in wider society. The chorus goes: “Why can't we all, all just be honest / Admit to ourselves that everyone's on it / From grown politicians to young adolescents”. Have your say in our news democracy.
