Alex Cromie and Marie Ebert were identified as the couple who died in the tragedy in Greece on Monday. Asset management firm Blackstone where Mr Cromie worked as a vice president in private wealth, released a statement on Tuesday saying it is "shocked" by the couple's death. The helicopter ​went down on the ‌island of Sifnos, killing the pilot and ‌two passengers, officials said. The ‌cause of the crash is unknown. After hitting a hillside shortly after take off, the smash sparked a fire in the Tholos part of Sifnos and the bodies of three people were recovered from the site, the fire service said. Images shown ⁠on local TV channels showed what ​appeared to ​be the crash site ⁠on a barren hillside, ⁠where a ball ​of flame created a ​plume of dark smoke. A spokesperson for Blackstone said: "We are shocked by the tragic passing of three people including our colleague Alex Cromie and his wife Marie Ebert, who were celebrating their honeymoon. "Alex was beloved by everyone who knew and worked with him at Blackstone, and our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones." Mr Cromie's LinkedIn profile said he had worked at Blackstone for four years, first as associate in private wealth solutions before being made a vice president last January. Ms Ebert was a senior specialist at the management consultancy, Bain & Company, according to her LinkedIn page.

"Our thoughts and support are with the families involved at this very difficult time." Sifnos, located in the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea, has a permanent population of about 2,700 and has become a popular tourist destination. A spokesperson for the FCDO said they are giving "consular support" and are in contact with the Greek authorities.

Klitschko, who shares a daughter with Panettiere, remembered the Heroes and Nashville star for her "immense talent" following her death on Sunday at the age of 36. The actress was found in her home in Greenville, South Carolina, by police, following reports that she was "unresponsive" and in "cardiac arrest". The cause and manner of her death have not been confirmed, but police said there were "no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances". Klitschko and Panettiere were together from 2009 to 2018, and their daughter was born in 2014. The Ukrainian heavyweight champion wrote on Instagram: "Our family is going through a time of profound shock and grief. "The announcement of Hayden's tragic death saddens me deeply. "She left this world far too soon. "Hayden was, although no longer my partner, an important part of my life and the mother of our daughter, Kaya." In 2018, Panettiere relinquished full custody to Klitschko as she struggled with addiction and mental health. Panettiere was a child actress before rocketing to fame in the TV show Heroes. She also starred in films, including 2006's Bring It On: All Or Nothing, comedy-drama film Raising Helen and the Scream franchise. Touching on her struggles, Klitschko said his former partner had also experienced the "darker sides" of Hollywood. "She built an incredible career through immense talent, while also facing the darker sides of a very demanding industry," he said. "Nothing will erase the times we shared or the place she had in our lives. "To our daughter Kaya, I will always speak of her mother with respect and make sure she remembers the person she was. "I extend my deepest condolences to Hayden's parents, her friends, and her fans, who are also grieving today. Young and talented people like Hayden should not leave this world so soon. "I ask everyone to please respect our family's feelings and privacy during this incredibly difficult time. For now, this is all I wish to say." Read more from Sky News:Tourist killed by lightning on Mount EtnaHundreds gather for Bonnie Tyler farewell Panettiere spoke openly about her struggles with addiction through her 20s, as well as her experience of postpartum mental health following the birth of Kaya. In a memoir published earlier this year, Panettiere spoke about the loss of her younger brother, Jansen, and her decision to give full custody of Kaya to Klitschko. "The idea that anyone would think that I would just give away my child and be OK with it is heartbreaking and couldn't be further from the truth," she told podcaster Jay Shetty after the release of her memoir in May. Panettiere said her daughter had lived with her father full-time from a young age as she battled addiction and poor mental health. She said: "I was struggling with mental health and anxiety, and the postpartum and having to act my way through it and just feeling like I completely lost myself."

The Rosebank oil field, 80 miles northwest of Shetland, and the Jackdaw gas field, east of Aberdeen, are awaiting a formal decision from the government after a previous approval by a Conservative administration in 2023 was quashed by the Scottish courts. The projects have become a lightning rod for debate about the UK's energy security, the pace of the energy transition and the government's commitment to climate targets. Supporters of the projects say that domestic production of oil and gas is economically and environmentally preferable to importing fossil fuels the UK will continue to consume even as it transitions to renewable power. Opponents argue that any new fossil fuel extraction will put the UK in breach of its net zero commitments and do little to reduce customer bills. With consultations on both Rosebank and Jackdaw now concluded, developers Adura, a joint venture between Shell and Norwegian national energy company Equinor, said the projects will deliver economic benefits to the UK. "Rosebank and Jackdaw are nationally significant projects," said chief executive Neil McCulloch. "Together, they can provide more domestically produced energy, support high-quality jobs and apprenticeships, generate substantial economic activity and tax revenues, and give the UK's world-class energy supply chain confidence for the future." The Scottish Conservatives said the decision would be the difference between "life and death" for North Sea industry, while Offshore Energies UK, which represents wind power generators as well as the oil and gas industry, called on the Government to be "honest" about the UK's energy demands. "The reality is that oil and gas still provide around 75% of the UK's energy, keeping our cars moving, planes flying, homes warm and industries running," said chief executive David Whitehouse. "If we do not produce this oil and gas here with lower emissions under one of the most tightly regulated regimes in the world, we do not end demand. "It just means more imported oil and gas - often with a higher carbon footprint, while more jobs, taxes and industrial value are shifted overseas. The government must be honest about this." Read more on Sky News:Speculation Miliband will approve drilling new oil and gas field 'unfounded'North Sea oil - is it time to reconsider drilling? Environmental groups Greenpeace and Uplift have rallied in opposition to the developments, leading the court challenge that saw the courts rule the original approval of Rosebank and Jackdaw unlawful. Both projects have had to be resubmitted to regulators, accounting not just for carbon emissions produced in construction, but by the fossil fuels extracted. Robert Palmer, deputy director at Uplift, said: "The case for Rosebank has completely collapsed. The science shows that the world already has far more oil and gas than can be burned safely if we want to maintain a liveable climate, the economics show it won't lower bills or make Britain more energy secure, and the summer's record heatwaves and devastating wildfires have made the consequences of fossil fuel dependence impossible to ignore. "Enough is enough. Burnham needs to look out of the window and acknowledge that this project will make the climate crisis worse and do nothing but rip off Britain."

From new managers and new signings to pre-season form and emerging talents, here's the lowdown on how the top 20 are looking... Arsenal: Tzolis could prove a bargain A lot of Arsenal's transfer talk has surrounded Vinicius Junior and Bradley Barcola this summer, but has Christos Tzolis given Mikel Arteta a reason to think differently? There was not a great deal of fanfare when the Greek winger moved for £34m from Club Brugge early in the window, but Tzolis has shown quite a lot of threat since arriving. In six pre-season games, Tzolis has six assists and one goal - including making two in the Community Shield against Man City. He is by no means flashy - he completed none of his dribbles in the win in Cardiff, for example - but he is very effective. That pre-season form mirrored his form last season - getting 51 goal contributions in 52 games for Club Brugge. A set-piece threat too; if he gets anything close to those numbers in the regular season, then Arsenal have found themselves a £34m bargain.Sam Blitz Premier League fixtures & scores | FREE PL highlights▶️Got Sky?

New signing Joao Gomes and 17-year-old Brian Madjo have impressed in pre-season and stood out once again against PSG, despite the loss. However, Unai Emery was dealt another blow when reports emerged of injuries for both players as they approach the season opener against Brighton. They will now join both Amadou Onana and new signing Johan Manzambi on the sidelines. It has been a summer of change at Villa Park and navigating key player exits is difficult enough. Injuries and the absence of any form of pre-season for Ezri Konsa and Ollie Watkins due to their extended World Cup breaks now mean both the line-up and performance itself could throw up a few surprises at the Amex Stadium.Pat Rowe Bournemouth: Settled summer offers promise for biggest-ever season After a free-scoring pre-season under new head coach Marco Rose there are hopes that life after Andoni Iraola can be just as bright for Bournemouth despite a first season in Europe to contend with. The Cherries' succession plan is as strong for players as it is for managers and Rose will tinker with rather than overhaul Iraola's work and getting their transfer business done early has helped his squad settle ahead of their most testing season. An injury to Eli Kroupi Junior's foot injury will stop him from carrying on his superb form from last season for the foreseeable but there is already intrigue about the prospect of Alvaro Rodriguez, a summer arrival from Elche. There are concerns over a lack of depth in central defence, especially with 22-year-old Antonio Silva expected to slot straight in to replace Marcos Senesi. But the ex-Benfica man has plenty of pedigree, making 20 appearances for Portugal already and 41 in the Champions League.Ron Walker Brentford: Hopes of going one better after European near-miss Goal difference alone prevented the Bees from qualifying for Europe in May, but that's been forgotten now. They've spent over £60m this summer, breaking their transfer record to sign Mali international midfielder Mamadou Sangare from Lens, while also adding proven Premier League players Callum Wilson and Jaidon Anthony to bolster the attack. Keith Andrews' side blew Eintracht Frankfurt away with a 7-0 win at the Gtech last Saturday, which set tongues wagging about what might be possible this term. Reaching Europe is sure to be the target internally - and this could well be the campaign they go one better.Dan Long Brighton: Conference League or bust for Seagulls It was a blow to Brighton to lose Danny Welbeck in the summer - but few fans will begrudge him the move at this stage of his career after he gave a lot to the club. Likewise, Brighton will feel they got brilliant money in for Jan Paul van Hecke and Carl Rushworth - the latter of which could be challenging James Trafford for the England jersey in the coming years. In terms of incomings, it's the usual case of 'trust the process' with Brighton's recruitment team. The incredible hit rate has slowed a little in recent times, but the club have generally rebuilt pretty well year on year. Aims for the season? Nothing matters other than winning the Conference League. Having watched Crystal Palace lift the trophy last season, anything other than victory in Istanbul in June would be disaster.Simeon Gholam Chelsea: Work to do to replicate Alonso style Xabi Alonso appears to be replicating his successful 3-4-3 formation, which delivered the Bundesliga title for Bayer Leverkusen, at Chelsea after testing the system in pre-season. Alonso had fielded a 4-2-3-1 in their first three friendlies, but after switching to a back three against AC Milan - their best performance of the summer in a 3-0 win - it seems he could stick with it heading into their opening match against Fulham on Monday Night Football. Maxence Lacroix was at the heart of the back three in their final pre-season game against Real Sociedad while Morgan Rogers started on the left of a dangerous frontline including Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer. Marco Palestra struggled at left-wing back with Pedro Neto operating on the other side. It remains a work in progress.David Richardson Coventry: Encouraging signs in pre-season A friendly win over Monaco was an encouraging way to finish pre-season and a clean sheet for 'keeper Carl Rushworth, who has signed on a permanent deal after his impressive loan last year, will add confidence to the backline which was the meanest in the second tier. That belief could be tested with an extremely difficult opener at Arsenal on Friday night but after 25 years away expect Coventry and their fans to relish their Premier League return. They'll hope the creative Gustavo Hamer and powerhouse Taiwo Awoniyi can give Frank Lampard's side threat at the other end to cheer. But can they continue their front-foot approach at the highest level?Peter Smith Crystal Palace: World Cup hits preparations for 'tinkerman' Sage Crystal Palace started pre-season with a new manager in Pierre Sage, but the Frenchman's attempts to implement a new playing style have been hampered as a host of first-team players were focused on the World Cup, rather than an opening 5-1 win over Swindon Town. The reappearance of Matheus Franca, a forgotten Brazilian youngster, has been one of the rare positives as he scored a hat-trick against Swindon and has featured regularly. A 3-0 loss to Bromley would not have offered much optimism to Sage, who then had to endure a stinging defeat by the same scoreline to former club RC Lens in a swift reunion at the Como Cup. Palace defeated FC Famalicao on penalties before scoring their first goals of the tournament, albeit in a consolation 3-0 victory over Saudi side Alula SC. The returning Ismaila Sarr should be a key player for Sage, and he was on target with Franca in a 2-1 win over Fulham, but a 3-0 loss to Freiburg has left the new Palace boss to admit that he needs to temper his desire to tinker.Richard Damerell Everton: Right-back a problem... but right back in the mix for Europe? Everton's summer business has been steady with the addition of highly rated Hayden Hackney plus Christian Norgaard from Arsenal offering extra bite and quality in midfield. But strength in depth remains an issue elsewhere with the potential requirement of Jake O'Brien or even James Garner to cover at right-back for another season unless the Toffees can add some more quality at right-back. They were linked with Daniel Munoz and expressed an interest in Djed Spence before his move to Inter Milan, but have yet to get a new face through the door. That has not been a problem on the right of their attack, where Brennan Johnson has added some extra pace which the counter-attack minded David Moyes will look to exploit at every opportunity. Can Everton put their end-of-season drop behind them to reach Europe this time around? Moyes might not always be flavour of the month at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but you can never rule it out with him around.Ron Walker Fulham: The Los Blancos of London under Arbeloa? Alvaro Arbeloa's arrival from Spanish giants Real Madrid has injected some Castilian culture into Craven Cottage. Rather than looking to the domestic market to fill the void left by Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez, Arbeloa tapped into La Fábrica, Real Madrid's renowned youth academy. In a stunning double transfer, Fulham completed a £42.8m deal for two of Real Madrid's brightest young players: striker Gonzalo Garcia and attacking midfielder Cesar Palacios. In behind them, £30m signing Shea Charles will provide a solid anchor in midfield. Fulham are evolving their squad nicely. Arbeloa has also looked to put his Spanish stamp on the team's tactical identity. In pre-season, they've adopted a high-intensity, high-pressing approach. This new style of play has excited Fulham fans. But with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United among their early opponents, Los Blancos will need to settle into their new identity pronto.James Cole Hull: Will goals stop Tigers from roaring? Hull were shock play-off winners in the Championship last season, defying the odds and a transfer embargo to seal a return to the Premier League. Once again, they have their doubters this summer but predicting how they will fare has been further complicated by a flood of new arrivals - and with more expected in the final days of the window. An injury to one of those new additions, goalkeeper Jack Butland, is a major blow, with the former England stopper likely out until Christmas due to arm surgery. But the Tigers will hope they have secured some savvy buys, a la Sunderland last season, with Nobel Mendy, Konstantinos Tzolakis and 18-year-old Aussie centre-back Lucas Herrington ones to watch. Goals, though, could be an issue - they hit the net just once in their final three friendlies.Peter Smith Ipswich: Proven quality over Championship potential on top-flight return Ipswich return to the top flight looking a very different entity to the one which was relegated in May 2025. Victories in their last three pre-season fixtures have featured encouraging displays from new additions and a hint at how they will potentially set up with a back three under new boss Gary O'Neil. Experienced Premier League players rather than upcoming domestic and Championship talent have been targeted, while Daizen Maeda's arrival from Celtic comes after goalscoring feats north of the border. Brazilian striker Emersonn is still largely an unknown quantity despite two goals in his last two pre-season starts. There are potentially more additions to come before Sunderland visit Portman Road on Saturday.Adam Williams Leeds: Can Calvert-Lewin push Farke's side forward again? Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been on fire in pre-season, with three goals and two assists - is he set for an even better season than he had last term? The Leeds striker had a pretty good campaign last time out with 14 Premier League goals - but it was even more impressive because he didn't have a pre-season, as he completed his Elland Road move on the eve of last term. Having had a relatively full pre-season and with his injury woes behind him, plus the likes of Harry Wilson now in the team to support Leeds' attacking threat - is Calvert-Lewin going to lead Daniel Farke's wish for the Whites to be more competitive?Sam Blitz Liverpool: How will Iraola cope with new level of scrutiny? Andoni Iraola has probably been under more scrutiny during pre-season at Liverpool than in three years in charge of Bournemouth. From recruitment to the balance of the squad, from the style of play to the ability to maintain it for 90 minutes, eyes are on him. Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz will surely improve, but it still feels like a rebuild. The Liverpool fans are ready to embrace his rock and roll football. But can Iraola, coaching in Europe for the first time in his career, deliver the results that will sustain that support?Adam Bate Man City: Maresca wants to use throwback wingers - but there's a problem Much of Man City's tactical approach under Enzo Maresca will mirror that of predecessor Pep Guardiola. They share similar philosophies. But a key change can be seen in how the Italian wants to use his wide players as more traditional wingers. Throwback to a bygone era of Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane and it's something close. Maresca has got two of the best wide ball carriers in the league in Antoine Semenyo and Jeremy Doku; the intention is to use them as such. But an issue has arisen. Does Maresca have a midfield capable of servicing this system? It was clear against Arsenal in the Community Shield that they do not. Semenyo landed five assists in pre-season but cut an isolated figure in that palling 3-0 defeat. With Bernardo Silva gone and Rodri's exit close, City's midfield reshuffle needs some serious work in order to get the team functioning and flowing as Maresca wants.Laura Hunter Man Utd: Progression on the pitch - but new personnel still required? Manchester United ended their Premier League preparations with a 4-2 defeat to AC Milan, but the good news for Michael Carrick and United is that two players, in particular, have stood out in pre-season. Having perhaps looked a bit tired towards the end of last season, Carrick will be purring to see Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo back to their electric selves. It was quite clear last season that United would largely defend on the edge of their own box. What we've seen in pre-season has been a deviation - or, perhaps, progression. United are pushing higher and working harder to press and counter-press the opposition. The game was a perfect illustration of why United need to invest seriously in a left-back: not just because Luke Shaw will need to be rotated with the increased number of games that comes with European competition, but also due to the way United clearly want to play going forward.Danyal Khan Newcastle: What awaits Jaissle after another tough summer? Eddie Howe called for this summer to be different for Newcastle. It certainly has been, though not quite how he intended. The now ex-head coach had hoped for early incomings and strong investment in a side which suffered after a messy transfer window 12 months ago but instead the loss of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali left the Magpies playing catch-up again while Bruno Guimaraes' departure was the final straw for Howe to walk. Matthias Jaissle, another graduate of the Red Bull franchise, replaced him with an expectation of attractive, attacking football but his more pressing concern will be that four of his five new signings, costing almost £140m combined, are aged 20 or under. That loss of experience on the pitch and in the dugout suggests another season of transition on Tyneside, but with the club still maintaining aims of a Premier League push within four years Jaissle and his players will have to come good sooner rather than later.Ron Walker Nottm Forest: Tricky Trees pruned to Glasner's wishes Oliver Glasner arrives at Nottingham Forest having won three trophies in two seasons with Crystal Palace and is looking to put his stamp on things at the City Ground. Forest have switched to his favoured system and are quietly reshaping the squad to his needs. Ousmane Diomande appears to be the standout signing and - for now at least - the key men remain. Forest fans would settle for Premier League progress after their European adventures but do not rule out fireworks from owner Evangelos Marinakis late in the window.Adam Bate Sunderland: Few new additions despite European demands Sunderland spent over £180m revamping their squad for their return to the Premier League last summer - and there was method in the madness. The Black Cats stepped up admirably, qualifying for Europe for the first time in over half a century. A year on, the only first-team signing they've made so far is that of 34-year-old Belgium right-back Thomas Meunier on a free from Lille, though Dayann Methalie is also set to join and become their record signing for £25.7m. That has been more than paid for already, with in excess of £30m recouped from the sales of fringe players. The most significant moment of the summer, however, was when Granit Xhaka opted to stay at the club despite interest from Chelsea, who tabled an £8m bid for him to reunite with his former Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso. Their captain was pivotal in 2025/26 and will be going forward, too.Dan Long Tottenham: New signings impress as captaincy decision looms An unbeaten pre-season for Tottenham has maintained optimism around Roberto De Zerbi's side after a big summer of spending. The six new arrivals have all impressed in pre-season, with the new £185m midfield pairing of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes both scoring. New defenders Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke looked a solid centre-back pairing in Saturday's clean-sheet win over Hoffenheim - and their display was even more encouraging considering Micky van de Ven did not play a pre-season minute, raising concerns he might not be fit for the Brentford trip. Pedro Porro, Mohammed Kudus and Destiny Udogie also failed to feature in pre-season, meaning new left-back Andy Robertson, who impressed against Hoffenheim, should start this weekend. With Porro's late World Cup-winning arrival means Archie Gray could be set to start at right-back, where he has played all of pre-season. The 20-year-old has also been captain in pre-season after Cristian Romero's exit, so it will be interesting to see who De Zerbi gives the captaincy to for their first competitive match of the new campaign.Declan Olley

The platform is under scrutiny after five teenage boys were killed when the BMW they were travelling in sped the wrong way up a motorway, smashing into a family driving to Dublin Airport for a holiday. The family members - three sisters and a seven-year-old-boy - were all seriously injured and continue to receive hospital treatment. The teenagers killed in the crash in County Kildare in the early hours of Sunday morning have been named locally, and by friends and relatives posting on social media, as 17-year-old Kamil Pustkowski, Jack Kennedy, also 17, Jeremy O'Brien, 18, Joe "Joey" Carthy, 15, and Alex McCarthy, 17. Accounts belonging to some of the dead boys appeared to show videos of cars being stolen and driven illegally, and being pursued by police vehicles. TikTok told Sky News that it was "closely monitoring" content relating to the incident and removing videos and accounts that break its rules. TikTok said that it is removing videos and accounts that break its rules. The company claimed that, of the content it removed for violating its policies on violent and criminal behaviour, 99.1% was taken down before it was reported to the platform. The Taoiseach - the Irish prime minister - as well as the Garda commissioner and the minister for justice all blamed social media for some of the behaviour of young men driving recklessly on Irish roads. Earlier this month, another car with eight teenage boys on board crashed into a motorist on Dublin's M50 motorway, seriously injuring the innocent party. In 2021, three criminals were killed on the N7 outside Dublin while driving on the wrong side. Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan said it is "clearly the case from a government perspective" that the responsibility for ensuring social media firms live up to their responsibilities lies with Coimisiun na Mean - the Irish media commission. That body is now liaising with TikTok over its response to Sunday's crash. Those in the vehicle hit by the car travelling the wrong way are believed to have been a family travelling to the UK for a wedding. Taoiseach Micheal Martin said he was "shocked and saddened" at the horrific road crash, which he described as the result of "an irresponsible and dangerous act". Mr Martin said dangerous driving, such as on the wrong side of the road, was sometimes "being done for likes on social media". Read more:FIFA sack Infantino criticCharge over dog bite death He added: "Every death on our roads brings untold grief to families and communities. There can be no tolerance for this reckless behaviour that we have seen on our roads recently. It must stop." Garda Representative Association vice president John Joe O'Connell said on Monday that the crash involved a stolen BMW that was trying to evade police by driving the wrong way. He said the BMW had earlier failed to stop for gardai and that it was his understanding that an instruction was given not to engage with the vehicle as it travelled the wrong way down the M9. Mr O'Connell said there were "numerous gangs" of boys and young men "trying to outdo each other" in social media videos, depicting interactions with Gardai, pursuits and wrong-way driving. The female driver and front seat passenger of the other car hit by the stolen vehicle, who are both aged in their 30s, remain in a critical condition. A woman in her 20s and a boy, both passengers in the car, are in a serious condition.

Panettiere, best known for her roles in TV series Heroes and Nashville, died on Sunday aged 36. She was found in her home by police in Greenville, South Carolina. There were "no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances" relating to the actress, police said. A post-mortem examination found that "no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to the death". The cause and manner of death have not been confirmed. A statement from Greenville police department said: "On August 16, 2026, at approximately 1.51pm, officers from the Greenville police department, accompanied by EMS personnel, responded to a report of an unresponsive female at Judson Mill Lofts, located at 701 Easley Bridge Road. "Upon arrival, medical assistance was administered; however, the individual, later identified as Hayden Panettiere, was pronounced deceased at the scene." Police said the case is under investigation by the Greenville police department in conjunction with the Greenville county coroner's office. Read more from Sky News:US tourist killed by lightning strike on Mount EtnaNumber of deaths after ferry disaster in Zimbabwe rises to 92 A statement from Panettiere's father Skip said: "It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. "She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her - and to the millions who watched her onscreen." The 36-year-old began acting as a child, appearing in soap operas. She appeared in 75 episodes of superhero series Heroes between 2006 and 2010. Her performances in Nashville earned her two Golden Globe nominations for best supporting actress. Eleven songs she recorded for the show entered the US Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Panettiere's film credits include 2006's Bring It On: All Or Nothing, comedy-drama film Raising Helen, and appearances in Scream 4 and Scream VI, playing Kirby Reed. The actress previously revealed that she struggled with addiction throughout her 20s. In a memoir published earlier this year, Panettiere opened up about her mental health struggles, the loss of her younger brother, Jansen, and her decision to give full custody of her daughter Kaya to her former partner, Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko, in 2018. "The idea that anyone would think that I would just give away my child and be okay with it is heartbreaking and couldn't be further from the truth," she told podcaster Jay Shetty after the release of her memoir in May. Panettiere said her daughter had lived with her father full-time from a young age amid the actress's mental health and addiction struggles. She said: "I was struggling with mental health and anxiety, and the postpartum and having to act my way through it and just feeling like I completely lost myself."

Is Britain ready for war? In the third instalment of Sam and Anne's Summer Boxset, they're joined by Sky's defence and security Analyst Professor Michael Clarke to ask: Can Burnham's government keep Britain safe? From Ukraine to the Middle East, the trio examine the challenge facing Defence Secretary Wes Streeting and ask whether the government can afford what it wants to do on defence. They also ask whether Burnham will approach Trump differently to Starmer and what the possible blowback from providing Ukraine with weapons to strike Russia could be.

The British-born Thai driver's current deal had been set to expire at the end of 2026, but has now secured his future ahead of the sport resuming after its summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix this weekend. Albon has scored just five points during the opening 11 rounds of the season, with Williams performing well below expectations after the introduction of the new regulations at the start of this year.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Albon said: "Since joining Atlassian Williams F1 Team in 2022, the transformation this team has made is difficult to put into words. "One tough year doesn't tell the full picture, and it only gives me more motivation to keep building and pushing together with the factory and our fans to achieve great things. "Our story is not over yet, so my full focus now is on doing whatever it takes to get us back up the grid." The 2027 campaign will be Albon's sixth season with Williams and his eighth in F1. The 30-year-old became the first driver to bring up 100 races for the team at the final round before the summer break in Hungary, having earlier in the season surpassed Nigel Mansell's record of 95. Williams team principal James Vowles said: "I am delighted that Alex and Atlassian Williams F1 Team are continuing our extraordinary journey together. "Alex has been a leader of this transformation project since day one and we have plenty of unfinished business that we are determined to achieve. "Alex is one of the best drivers on the grid and knows better than anyone the enormous improvements we have made in recent years - re-signing him shows the belief we both have in the direction we are heading." The future of Albon's team-mate Carlos Sainz remains uncertain with the Spaniard, whose deal expires at the end of 2026, having expressed doubts over whether he wants to continue with Williams amid their ongoing struggles. The short-term nature of Albon's deal perhaps reflects reservations of his own about remaining with the team long term, but also that there are no realistic alternatives available to him at the moment. Albon began his F1 career with Toro Rosso in 2019 before being promoted to drive for Red Bull during the season. However, after struggling alongside Max Verstappen he was let go at the end of 2020, and ended up without a seat for 2021 before joining Williams the following year. Albon's most successful season for Williams came last year when he finished eighth in the world championship, with the team claiming fifth in the constructors' standings and appearing well placed to push on under the new regulations. However, that has not materialised, with Williams third from bottom in 2026 on just 11 points despite possessing the Mercedes power unit that has powered the Silver Arrows to a commanding lead at the top of the standings. The Formula 1 season resumes after the summer break with a Sprint weekend at the Dutch Grand Prix from Friday, with every session live on Sky Sports.
