Dele Alli’s girlfriend goes braless and shows off amazing legs as she joins ex-Tottenham ace in Como
DELE ALLI’s girlfriend Cindy Kimberly has turned heads with her outfit as she supports her man at his new club.
Ex-England midfielder Alli, 28, hopes to kick-start his career at Italian side Como.
Cindy and the former Spurs star have been dating since June 2022.
She currently works as a model and influencer and is signed to Uno models.
Cindy put on a show as she rocked up to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia for Como’s clash with Empoli on Saturday.
The 26-year-old wore a fitted white cardigan for the Serie A showdown.
She went braless in the daring outfit, pairing it with a tiny matching white skirt and chunky high heels.
Cindy uploaded a series of snaps to her 7 million-strong Instagram fanbase.
She was all smiles as she arrived at the venue hand-in-hand with Dele, who opted for an all-brown fit.
One fan gasped in the comment section: “Fashion icon!”
Another said: “Every time I look at you I feel like I’m staring into the sun.”
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
While a third added: “Wagging per usual.”
Alli watched the game with Cindy from the stands in Italy.
The pair were joined on the terraces in Como by rappers Krept, Konan and Aitch.
Former Everton midfielder Alli picked up a red card just 10 minutes into his Como debut earlier this month.
The 28-year-old was making his first appearance since February 2023.
Dele was given his marching orders for a tackle on Ruben Loftus-Cheek, incensing fans and teammates.
Many claimed the red card was harsh, including Alli’s former teammate Kyle Walker, who pleaded for it to be overturned.
Alli last played in the Turkish Super Lig for Besiktas and has penned an 18-month deal with the Serie A side.
He could potentially return against Torino on April 13.
Cops told councillor NOT to help parents arrested after complaining about primary school teachers in WhatsApp group
A COUNCILLOR was threatened with a police investigation if she continued to help parents who were arrested after they complained about a school in a WhatsApp group.
Hertfordshire County Council member Michelle Vince said the case had raised serious questions over the power for the police to “take away democratic rights” from elected representatives.
She had been helping Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine, who had raised concerns over the way the new head teacher at Cowley Hill Primary School had been recruited.
The couple were later detained on suspicion of harassment and malicious communications after what they describe as a “trivial” dispute, reports The Times.
They had sent multiple emails to Cowley Primary School in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire and made “disparaging” comments on a WhatsApp group for parents.
The couple were escorted away from their home in January by six uniformed police before spending a terrifying eight hours trapped in a cell.
Hertfordshire Police conducted a five-week investigation into their actions before deciding there was no case to answer.
Police had, however, warned Vince to not help the family, saying she risked becoming a suspect herself in their investigations.
An email sent to the councillor by a police officer in Hertfordshire said: “I ask that your communication (with the school) ceases from this point onwards as you may find yourself liable to being recorded as a suspect in a harassment investigation.”
Vince had been sending emails to the school on behalf of the parents in regards to issues and complaints over the head teacher’s recruitment.
The email added: “I can confirm that the vacancy for the position of head teacher is now an active posting and therefore there is no further reason for any communication from yourself to be had.”
They shockingly claimed the councillor had “no reason” to be involved in the matter.
In fear of facing the same fate as Maxie and Rosalind, Vince has now set up a home security doorbell system to capture video and audio footage of her front door.
She added that she had also now raised the issues with Hertfordshire County Council’s legal department.
Shaken, Vince described how the police were, in effect, “taking away” her democratic rights as a councillor.
Speaking of what Maxie and Rosalind went through, she said it was “traumatic” for them, and that she herself is now terrified the same could happen to her.
Jonathan Ash-Edwards, Hertfordshire Police & Crime Commissioner, said this weekend: “There has clearly been a fundamental breakdown in relationships between a school and parents that shouldn’t have become a police matter.
“I will look at what more can be done with mediation services in Hertfordshire to help amicably resolve disputes without police involvement.
“While people should be courteous and go through the proper channels when raising concerns about a public service, the public should be able to express their views without worrying they’ll get a knock at the door from the police.”
Footage has shown how Maxie and Rosalind were escorted away from their Borehamwood home in front of their crying daughter before spending eight hours trapped in a cell.
Times Radio producer Maxie, 50, said the action was “dystopian” and a “massive overreach”.
He accused Cowley Hill of trying to “silence awkward parents”, saying: “I was just in complete disbelief. It was just unfathomable to me that things had escalated to this degree.
“It was absolutely nightmarish. I couldn’t believe this was happening, that a public authority could use the police to close down a legitimate inquiry.
“We’d never used abusive or threatening language, even in private, and always followed due process. Yet we have never even been told what these communications were that were supposedly criminal, which is completely Kafkaesque.”
Maxie and Rosalind, 46, were also accused of causing a nuisance on school property.
However, they maintain they haven’t been to school since last July – and the allegations have never been explained.
Former governor Maxie had questioned why an open recruitment process hadn’t begun after the school’s headteacher announced he was retiring in May last year.
He had hoped a meeting would be held to explain the process.
Harassment and malicious communication laws
According to the Malicious Communications Act 1988 an offence consists of:
- A message that is indecent or grossly offensive
- A threat
- Information that is false and is known or believed to be false by the sender
- This also includes any article or electronic communication that is of an indecent or grossly offensive nature.
The above only applies if the sender’s purpose was to cause distress.
Chair of governors Jackie Spriggs then reportedly told parents “inflammatory and defamatory” comments had been made on social media.
She also warned action would be taken against anyone causing “disharmony”.
Maxie and Rosalind were subsequently banned from the school’s premises after being accused of “casting aspersions” on Ms Spriggs.
The couple claim they were then barred from attending a parents’ evening for nine-year-old daughter Sascha, and were not allowed to go to her Christmas performance.
The schoolgirl has epilepsy, as well as being neurodivergent and registered disabled.
Maxie and Rosalind say they sent emails to the school to address their daughter’s needs.
On January 29, Rosalind was looking after youngest daughter Francesa, three, when half a dozen officers arrived at the door.
She said she feared “Sascha was dead” and said her toddler was “cowering in the corner, she was terrified”.
Maxie added he believes the school used the cops “to close down legitimate inquiries” but doesn’t understand why the force “played along”.
The school says it sought advice from the police following a “high volume” of correspondence, including social media posts, which had upset staff and parents.
A spokesman added: “We’re always happy for parents to raise concerns, but we do ask that they do this in a suitable way, and in line with the school’s published complaints procedure.”
Hertfordshire County Council said Louise Thomas was appointed interim head of the school for one term before a full recruitment process was carried out.
The force said the officers dispatched to the address were needed to secure electronic devices and care for the children there.
A spokesman said: “The arrests were necessary to fully investigate the allegations as is routine in these types of matters.
“Following further investigations, officers deemed that no further action should be taken due to insufficient evidence.”
The Sun has approached the police, school and council for further comment.
Iconic 90s boyband brutally snubbed by ex-manager Simon Cowell ahead of huge reunion tour
THEY are set to head off on a reunion tour – 24 years after bust-ups and a shock split nearly tore them apart for good.
But sitting down for a chat with Biz on Sunday at our HQ in London, Five lads Jason “J” Brown, Abz Love, Ritchie Neville, Sean Conlon and Scott Robinson have promised to tame their wild ways.
It seems Simon Cowell, who helped put the band together in 1997, is not feeling the love, though, after they announced their Keep On Movin’ Tour will kick off at Cardiff’s Utilita Arena in October.
But the band are not letting that put them off their stride.
Ritchie said: “Out of courtesy, we let him know that we were reforming — like, ‘Hey by the way . . . ’.”
Scott added: “He hasn’t replied, but do you know what?
“He is a very, very busy man, so I’m sure he will at some point. If he wants to come to a show . . . ”
Referencing Five’s 1999 hit If Ya Gettin’ Down, Ritchie added: “He can get on down!”
And he said of Simon: “He was already a massive success, just not a famous one, when he signed us.
“We wish him well, he is doing his thing.”
Sean said: “He was a huge part of what we did.
“He wasn’t the celebrity he is now, as Rich just said, but he was an incredible A&R [talent scout].
“He really helped us to formulate our albums, our sounds, chose the producers, the songwriters, put everything together and, you know, he did a great job.”
And Ritchie added: “We do thank him for that.”
Simon revealed on last year’s BBC documentary Boybands Forever — produced by Louis Theroux — how he almost punched Scott after he threatened to leave the band.
Scott said: “I pinned one of the big cheeses at the record label up against his desk with my foot, crushing him into the wall, and said, ‘I will f***ing leave this band, you try and fing stop me’, with Simon Cowell trying to fight me off him.”
And Simon said: “We almost ended up in a fist fight. I was that close to punching him in the face.”
Scott added: “I’d lost my mind. They had to call security and carry me out of the building kicking and screaming like a f***ing wild dog.”
But Sean tells how Simon was key to the band’s success, which saw them bag 11 Top Ten singles, four Top Ten albums and a Brit Award for Best Pop Act in 2000.
Sean said of Simon’s ear for a hit song: “All he needed was the first chorus. He would just put it on, get to the end of the first chorus then follow his gut instinct and work the rest out later — he just knew from there, and just turned it off.”
But Scott revealed the boys could not help pranking Simon.
He said: “We were at the When The Lights Go Out video shoot and Simon was asked to move his Aston Martin DB7.
I said, ‘I’ll move it for you, Simon’, expecting him to say, ‘No’.
“But he chucks me the keys and I’m just meant to move it from here to there.
“So I took it over Putney Bridge in London and it literally took off — I am sure some of the wheels weren’t on the floor.”
If Simon comes to see the lads on tour, he may prefer not to bring along his motor.
Bizbit
SCOTT ROBINSON has revealed that he has a secret tattoo dedicated to the band.
He said: “I say I haven’t got a Five tattoo, but I have got a clock on my arm and the five is bigger than the rest of the numbers.
“It is just my little nod to the band.”
HERE are Five’s favourite songs to perform:
SEAN: “My default answer is always Keep On Movin’ because of the way the crowd reacts to it.”
ABZ: “I like a little funky bassline, so one of my favourites has always been If Ya Gettin’ Down. I can listen to just the instrumental of that and I am a happy boy.”
RITCHIE: “Everybody Get Up – because it rocks.”
JASON: “Slam Dunk (Da Funk) because it was our first tune and it just formed a lot of the sound of what we were about.
“There’s a lot of energy in it and I can’t wait to get on stage with these four and perform that song.”
SCOTT: “Human – we did a cover of The Human League.”

JASON “J” BROWN confessed he grew a long beard like ZZ Top rocker Billy Gibbons during his years away from the showbiz limelight.
He said: “I did a few different things. I rented a farm in the middle of nowhere in Wales, living very quietly.
“I grew an enormous beard, like ZZ Top, and invested in frozen veg and ran my own market stall selling leather goods.
“People didn’t recognise me and I liked it. I needed time away.”
Now he’s back, J is chattier than ever.
SINGLE LADS READY TO MINGLE
AS Five head out on tour, three of the boys are single – and they admit they are open to finding love with a fan.
But Abz, Sean, and Jason have confessed that they draw the line at dating apps.
Asked if they will be flirting with women on the Keep On Movin’ Tour, Abz said: “No, straight to bed, no drinking, no nothing, no distractions, no woman, no nothing.”
But romance with a fan is not out of the question for the lads.
Sean said: “Would I date a human being that likes Five’s music? Why not?”
But Abz added: “I have not had the best encounters – you can’t rule anything out.”
Jason said: “I think one would have to gauge the person and see the person properly and engage with what they’re actually about.
“But not the kind of fan that’s gonna jump out the wardrobe every day and scream at me – that might be a bit weird.”
But Sean added: “I wouldn’t look for us on any apps.”
Then Abz suggested: “There is the Five official website if you want to get on that.”
Meanwhile Scott, who shares four children with his wife Kerry Oaker, said: “We have made a decision that J and Abz are gonna look after my kids so me and Kerry can go out on the raz.”
Sounds like the boys will be on babysitting duty instead…
NIKITA: GET BOYS DANCING
STRICTLY’S Nikita Kuzmin reckons ballroom dancing should be taught in schools – following the public’s reaction to hit series Adolescence.
The pro dancer says it teaches people how to “communicate” and how to show respect in relationships.
The Netflix show follows a 13-year-old boy who is arrested for murdering his female classmate, and explores the impact misogynist influencers have on young men.
Nikita, who is currently on his solo tour Midnight Dancer, said: “I haven’t seen the show, but I have heard a lot of things.
“Dancing in general is a great thing as it teaches you how to treat your partner, how to be a gentleman and how to communicate.”
CORR BLIMEY, THAT WAS GOOD
IT is 27 years since The Corrs first played at London’s Royal Albert Hall, on St Patrick’s Day.
But on Friday night, the Irish pop band – siblings Andrea, Caroline, Sharon and Jim Corr – proved they are still at the top of their game as they sold out the venue in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Of the venue, Andrea, right, said: “This place is very dear to our hearts – it was a pivotal moment in our career, we were a little bit younger than we are now.
“Our music was being put generally in the folk section of record stores – they didn’t really know where to put us, with the traditional Irish and pop-rock.
“Then that all changed because we capitalised on our Irishness, secured to play here [the Royal Albert Hall] on St Patrick’s Day 1998 and ended up being broadcast on the BBC. That changed our trajectory.”
She added of the band’s latest gig: “This is such an honour to play here tonight for this incredibly worthy cause that I know we all care so deeply about.”
They sent shivers down the spine with their hit Runaway, before ending the gig with an encore of Breathless.
If you missed out, be sure to catch The Corrs at the Isle of Wight Festival in June.

Leo Varakdar was inspired by granddad’s tragic accident to introduce tough new road safety laws during political career
LEO Varadkar has revealed that his grandfather’s death in a traffic accident inspired him to introduce tough road safety laws as a legislator.
The former taoiseach recalled how his grandfather, Tom Howell, was killed at age 82 as a passenger in a fatal road traffic incident.
Varadkar was a junior doctor in Navan at the time of the tragedy in Co Carlow in 2005.
But Leo has now told how the heartbreaking loss encouraged him to introduce a batch of road safety legislation when he became transport minister in 2011 and later taoiseach.
Opening up on the tragedy, Varadkar said: “My uncle was driving from Dublin to Dungarvan where they lived.
“On the Carlow Road there was a loose horse.
“It hit the windscreen of the car. My uncle had minor injuries, but my grandfather didn’t survive.”
The former Fine Gael leader admitted that his drive to improve road safety through legislation was also influenced by the grim reality of working in hospitals and emergency departments as a doctor.
Leo spoke of treating victims of fatal accidents and those who suffered life-changing injuries.
And he said: “The truth is there are a huge number of families in Ireland who lost somebody on the road, or who had life-changing injuries.
“I know it’s not comparable but many, many more people have died on our roads in Ireland than died in the Troubles, for example.”
The former Dublin West TD opened up on his family loss at a road safety event in Salthill, Co Galway, on Friday.
It was organised by road safety group Parc to welcome a new law that comes into force on Monday, requiring motorists to supply their unique driver licence number to their insurer.
Leo lauded the new law aimed at keeping disqualified drivers off roads.
SAFETY MOVE
He explained: “It means people who are disqualified from driving won’t be able to get insurance.
“Unfortunately, what’s happening now is some people who are disqualified from driving in Ireland are back driving the next week because the insurance companies and gardai don’t know they’ve been disqualified from driving.”
Road safety campaigner Susan Gray, who founded Parc after her husband Steve was killed in a road crash in Donegal in 2004, hailed Leo for progressing the new law as taoiseach.
But inadequate ICT systems means not all of the new legislation can be enacted on Monday.
Parc is calling on the current Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien and Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan to set a deadline for its full implementation.

Four ways to create your own plant pots and avoid expensive prices
WATCHING buds flower and seedlings sprout is one of the joys of spring.
What is less fun, though, is the cost of pots and planters to grow them in.
Instead of digging deep to afford them, reuse and recycle items you already have.
FRESH START: If you’re growing things from seeds or small cuttings, don’t bother buying pots from garden centres.
Check your recycling box for plastic fruit and vegetable containers, like those that mushrooms, berries, grapes and tomatoes come in, as well as washed-out yoghurt pots.
Make holes in the bottom and fill with compost. Old egg boxes also work a treat.
Loo roll tubes can make great pots for seedlings and are biodegradable so can be planted straight into the ground when the plants are big enough.
Cut and fold to make a pot bottom and then fill with compost.
HOLE LOT OF FUN: Make your garden unique by creating pots and planters out of old household items.
For example, unwanted colanders can be repurposed as hanging baskets.
Remember to add drainage holes to containers to stop plants getting waterlogged.
You can fill old boots and wellies with compost to make a fun feature.
Old wheelbarrows or baskets make brilliant planters. You can paint tatty wooden boxes or drawers to make bright containers for bigger plants.
TOP CHIPS: Chipped crockery can be great as planters for indoor cacti or mini succulents that don’t need much water, so don’t require drainage holes.
Old floral cups give a shabby-chic style. Used candle jars or chipped glasses do the job as well.
MILK IT: Big plastic milk containers can get a second life. Cut the bottom off and place over delicate seedlings to create a mini greenhouse.
Cut out one side of it, fill with compost and use as another way to grow seedlings.

Calvin Harris’ new pub’s unique feature revealed after superstar DJ bought up hometown watering hole
CALVIN Harris’s new boozer is always Bounce-ing — as the jukebox is packed with more than 100 of his own floor-fillers.
Fans visiting the Coach & Horses in Dumfries can dance to 18 years’ worth of hits including One Kiss, We Found Love, Summer and Feel So Close.
Songs by his superstar ex Taylor Swift plus Justin Bieber and Pink Floyd can also be selected on the thriving pub’s digital music player.
But one reveller said: “You can’t blame Calvin for packing the jukebox with his own tunes. He’s the best.”
The Scottish Sun’s reporter sipped a pint of cider under a framed and signed promo poster for the DJ’s debut 2007 album I Created Disco.
We told how Calvin, 41, teamed up with childhood buddy Mark Irving to snap up their hometown watering hole for £190,000.
A source said: “Calvin is proud of where he was raised and has strong ties to his hometown.
“He used to drink in The Coach and Horses before he got famous and there is a signed poster of his first album cover on the wall.
“Calvin and Mark have now taken over and Mark is landlord. They have created a company called To The Nines. It’s a gorgeous little pub with a great atmosphere.
“It’s a great grassroots music venue too, which is something they’re really proud of.”
The riverfront inn has been hailed for offering gigs to up-and-coming local bands.
Multi-millionaire Calvin previously stacked shelves at the Marks & Spencer store nearby.
He has sported a bushy beard promoting latest single Smoke the Pain Away, on which he sings and plays guitars.
The chart-topper lives in a posh home in North London with TV presenter wife Vick Hope and also boasts a farm on the party isle of Ibiza.
