Honest Ed

IT’S refreshing to hear about a
loaded celebrity actually paying
taxes properly.
Mega-millionaire Ed Sheeran could
have saved himself a hell of a lot of
cash by finding a dodgy loophole like
many footballers and A-listers.
But the good guy of pop forks out a
hefty amount to HMRC.
Clearly the Shape Of You star is earn-
ing a decent wage – he paid himself
£17million. But he is one of the most
talented showmen in Britain and he
deserves it.
Ed puts to shame levy-avoiding stars
who use schemes to cut their bill.
These shysters should be embar-
rassed by their behaviour.
They don’t have to worry about using
NHS hospitals, public transport or state
schools after they become famous. But
their fans do.
They owe it to them, the people
who pay their wages, to cough up
the right amount of tax.

EXCLUSIVE ■ by ANDREW JAMESON

X Factor SUPERFAN Andy Whyment is

SIMON Cowell’s latest
version of X Factor was
humiliated in the ratings
by a politics show.
His singing spin-off was
beaten by a BBC election
special on Monday night.
Bosses at ITV hoped it
would be a hit for Simon.
But The X Factor: The
Band’s launch night was
watched by only 2.2m.
Question Time pulled
in 300,000 more.
A TV insider said: “It
was one of ITV’s flagship
shows but now it’s getting
little more than two mil-
lion viewers.
“The election special
didn’t have Boris Johnson
or Jeremy Corbyn, but still
proved more popular.”
An X Factor source said
the show proved more
popular with younger
viewers, peaking at 2.8m.

The actor wants mates Simon
Gregson (Steve McDonald) and Alan
Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs) to go Down
Under following his stint on the show.
He reckons they could help inject fun
into the flagging programme, which has
struggled with ratings this year.
The finale had almost two million
fewer viewers than the previous year’s
episode and the series shed viewers
throughout its run.
Andy said: “I think Si Gregson would
be amazing in there, but I don’t know
whether he would be able to handle it.
“Because it is really, really intense. I’d
also love Alan Halsall to go in there.
But he’d struggle because he

EXPERTS’ FEAR OVER

THRILL-SEEK SELFIES Volcano threat as

■ by ANTONY THROWER
EXPERTS have slammed the selfie generation
for putting their lives at risk by peering into active
volcanoes to take snaps.
Monday’s disaster in New Zealand has killed at least six
people with more missing.
But firms have taken advantage of people’s appetite for
extreme adventures, developing it into a £450billion industry.
Volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer says the catastrophe could
happen again.
He said: “Allowing tourists

Palin joy at ‘silly’ remake
■■ by Rhian Lubin
SIR Michael Palin is hoping
the revamped series of Worzel
Gummidge will act as an
“oasis of calm” in the loud,
brash world of modern TV.
The star, 76, who plays The Green
Man in the BBC’s adaptation of the
children’s classic, said he loved the
two-part drama because it’s “silly”.
Speaking at the show’s screening
in London, he said: “It’s different in
tone to an awful lot on television
which is in your face, fast, high
action, noise.
“It’s just calm and you have to
listen, watch and take it in. And the
more TV like that the better.
“This is just an oasis of calm, and a BY GUM: Mackenzie as Worzel with

James May has praised
the current Top Gear
presenting team, saying
­
they are “almost as good”
as the original line-up.
The car fanatic hosted
the BBC Two show for
more than a decade along-
side Jeremy Clarkson and
Richard Hammond.
They left in 2015, and the
programme is now fronted
by Andrew “Freddie”
Flintoff, Paddy McGuin-
ness and Chris Harris.
May, who now presents
The Grand Tour on
Amazon Prime with
Clarkson and Hammond,
told ITV’s Good Morning
Britain that he does watch
Top Gear – and admitted
that he enjoys it.
He said: “Am I allowed to
say that? I like car shows.”
Asked what he thought
of the current line-up, May
added: “I think they’re at
the point... they’re almost
as good as us, it’s amazing.
“I know Chris Harris
quite well anyway, I have
known him for 30 years.
“So I like it, and I like
watching car shows. I don’t
see why it’s a problem to
have two big car shows.”

Remy, 32, netted 12 goals in 47 games for
Chelsea between 2014 and 2016 but
significantly, Lille top scorer Victor Osimhen

looming against Montpellier on Friday.
This was a dead game for the French side
who had picked up just one Champions
League point before kick-off.
Lampard had called for personality from
his team after the disappointing 3-1 defeat at
Everton and he got it.
Chelsea were much sharper and more

but the goal was coming. It arrived in the 19th
minute when Pulisic fed Willian, who beat his
man and crossed for Abraham to coolly flick
the ball home for his 13th goal of the season.
The second came in the 35th minute as
Emerson swung a deadly corner in from the
left and Azpilicueta arrived unmarked to
head home. Thiago Maia fired an effort over
from an angle but Lille were offering little.
Chelsea, with Jorginho back making
things tick in midfield, looked much more
balanced and inventive.
Pulisic in particular was causing Lille all

and the return of Rudiger to the defence gave
Chelsea much more authority.

Remarkably, though, this ended up being
Chelsea’s first home Champions League

Think of a one-word film title, then in the
blue box above, draw dashes to represent
the number of letters in the word. Then
the person you’re playing against starts
to guess letters. If the letter is in the word,
write it on the corresponding dash. If the
letter is not in the word then draw a line
on the hangman and cross off the letter
on the alphabet chart.
