On Sunday 3^rd June, Lost Voice Guy won Britain’s Got Talent!!

His prize will be to present his comedy act at the Royal Variety Performance and receive a quarter of a million pounds!!

Lost voice guy – AKA Lee Ridley – is the first comedian to ever win Britain’s Got Talent. He lives in Consett, County Durham and is 37 years old.

Ridley was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 6 months old. “It means I can’t speak and my right side is weaker than my left, so I walk funny, too. I also developed epilepsy as a teenager. That was very hard to deal with,” he told The Guardian.

Everyone has been incredibly moved and exhilarated by Ridley’s confidence, humour and excellent stage presence.

We are very eager and excited to see him at the Royal Variety Performance on Monday 19th November, 2018, at the London Palladium Theatre.

Where do we start! This game was something not to miss. From riots started after review of Video Assisted Referee (VAR), to referee havoc this game was surely one of the top of the list. The game took a slow start until Portugal star Ronaldo found himself taken down in the penalty box. After a VAR check, the penalty was taken by Ronaldo and surprisingly missed! However the deadlock was finally broken as Ricardo Quaresma struck an absolute allure from the edge of the box just on the stroke of halftime.

The second half was entertaining to watch, however it held some despicable behaviour from the players. An Iran player was shown a yellow card for pushing the referee and the opposing managers got themselves into some arguments. Ronaldo had attempted to punch another player and although not much contact was made he received a yellow card. In the closing moments of the match a possible handball was committed from Portugal and again the VAR was put into use. The end decision was a penalty to Iran which Ansarifard slotted away nicely. But this was not enough for Iran to go through to the next round as Spain had drawn with Morocco in the other match.

On 5^th of March, trucks carrying much needed supplies for civilians entered Syria. Upsettingly, nearby air strikes forced the trucks to leave, including ten trucks which had not yet been unloaded. It was the first aid to arrive in Syria for 3 weeks. Since 2011, Syria has been gripped by civil war. This means war between people of the same country. The vehicles were carrying food and medical supplies.

Kilauea is one of the 5 volcanoes within Hawaii. It is the most active volcano in Hawaii as it has been continuously erupting since 1983.

Kilauea is a Hawaiian word that means ‘much spreading’ or ‘spewing’. This name is very appropriate when you consider that it has a ceaseless lava flow.
