A WOMAN has insisted her husband would make a brilliant Tyson Fury lookalike – despite people saying he looks more “Dyson Fury” than a carbon copy of the Gypsy King.
Claire has been sharing pictures and videos of her other half on social media in a bid to get him picked up by a celebrity lookalike agency.
James has even applied to an agency himself, but “never heard back”.
Since then, he’s been posing for snaps which make him look just like the boxing champ – including with his autobiography and his aftershave.
And while some people can’t see the likeness between him and Tyson, others are so convinced that they even stop him for selfies when he’s out and about, Claire told Fabulous Online.
He’s even 6ft 7in tall – just two inches short of the man himself.
But in the comments section of a recent TikTok video showing James’ similarity to Tyson, people hilariously poked fun at the ‘likeness’.
“Chris Eubank looks more like Tyson Fury than your husband,” one wrote.
“Do see Tyson a little bit, leaning more towards Ainsley Harriott though,” another joked.
“Just coz he’s tall and has a beard doesn’t qualify him to be a Tyson lookalike,” a third argued.
“He has small similarities.”
“6 foot 7, multiple personalities, a good one two combo, the list goes on,” Claire replied.
“That’s Dyson Fury,” someone else said.
“You would pay for this to hoover your house through, wouldn’t you?” Claire responded with a wink.
“Tyson Mildly Upset,” another joked.
While someone else called him a “council estate Tyson Fury”.
“I’m sure if he was from a council estate he’d happily take that title ….. would probably take it regardless!” Claire – who lovingly calls her man “Temu Tyson” – joked.
However, others insisted that there’s clearly a similarity between James and Tyson.
“I don’t know why people are trying to be different,” one wrote.
“They clearly look alike!”
“I see it,” another added.
“Yeah he does look like him,” a third commented.
“Get him one of the eccentric suits he wears and pair of glasses !! hahaha he’ll definitely turn heads!” someone else suggested.
“Yeah I can see it somewhat,” another wrote.
Claire and James insisted that they’re up for the “bants” in response to someone else’s comment praising them for being “thick skinned” about responses from trolls.
“We love, love, love this comment because we live for the bants!!!” they wrote.
“So much doom & gloom in the world, we can all make it a bit of a better place with some light heartedness!”
WINDSOR Castle has been surrounded by eco-idiots who are plotting to storm the royal grounds in “three days of chaos”.
A tent city could be seen in Windsor Great Park this morning as Extinction Rebellion stage an “upgrade democracy” mass occupation.
It was previously revealed XR activists plan to create a diversion on The Long Walk which would allow members of the group to break into the castle grounds.
Extra security barriers have been put in place to stop the eco idiots getting close to the gates of the castle.
Residents, dog walkers and tourists have all been advised to avoid the area from August 30 to September 1.
GARY NEVILLE and Jamie Carragher are getting ready for the fiery North West derby by cranking up the heat in the sauna.
Manchester United and Liverpool collide at Old Trafford on Sunday in an eye-catching fixture.
— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) August 30, 2024
"It'll be a tough game"
Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher preview the Super Sunday clash between Manchester United vs Liverpoolpic.twitter.com/fyWKZ43vLg
Sky Sports News turned to their star pundits for their views, with presenter Pete Graves joking that he had interrupted their spa day as the pair joined together remotely.
Reds icon Carragher admitted: “In the main, Liverpool find it difficult at Old Trafford.
“If you go to last season, that was where the wheels really fell off in their chase for the title.
“So, I think it will be a tough game but I think the fact Liverpool already have six points means a draw isn’t the end of the world going into the international break.”
Asked if he would take a draw, Neville replied: “No, I wouldn’t take a draw.
“Obviously the FA Cup game last season was unbelievable.
“I think Erik ten Hag has a knack of just finding the right result at the right time.
“I would worry about him a bit on Sunday if they lose badly but I don’t see that, I don’t think it will be a big defeat.

“I wouldn’t say I’m confident but they have a habit of turning up in the right moments and getting results under Erik ten Hag.
“I think they need it, that Brighton result last weekend. It’s not putting big pressure on but he is under a bit of pressure after what happened last season.
“The league can’t go as badly this season, they can’t be in the same position two or three months in.
“So, I think it’s a very important game this early in the season. It’s difficult to say it’s more important for United than Liverpool but I think it’s important for Erik ten Hag in terms of getting the performance levels up.
“There were signs in the first two weeks at Fulham and Brighton that the performance levels are not quite good enough.”
Carragher predicted a Liverpool win before joking that they would continue their debate in the sauna.
MANCHESTER UNITED suffered more misery on the seaside as they lost again at the Amex.
It was almost all so different for the Red Devils as, at 1-1, fans celebrated what they thought was a winner – only for the goal to be ruled out in a bonkers offside call.
And Joao Pedro pounced to snatch the three points for Brighton deep into added time.
Here’s how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated United’s stars…
ANDRE ONANA – 4/10
Not convincing from a goalkeeper we know can perform with the best in this league.
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – 6
Has been a good upgrade on Wan-Bissaka judging by his opening performances in a United shirt.
HARRY MAGUIRE – 4
Was caught ball watching for Danny Welbeck’s opener, and was rendered useless after letting it run past him twice.
Improved in the second half with some crucial blocks and was decent in terms of building from the back, but his error may have cost his team three points.
LISANDRO MARTINEZ – 5
Not a particularly noticeable performance from ‘The Butcher’ in a positive or negative sense.
Suppose it was a solid showing but was also caught ball watching for the opening goal.
DIOGO DALOT – 7
Was unlucky not to have an assist in the first half, but played well and put the team on his back at times.
Made a crucial goal line block early on in the second half to deny Brighton a two-goal lead and played some good crosses throughout.
CASEMIRO – 6
Stepped into tackles well when required and is having something of a resurgence at the start of this season – doesn’t look as off the pace as he did last campaign.
His final ball was disappointing at times, but overall a solid showing.
KOBBIE MAINOO – 7
Composure personified, Kobbie played like a midfielder well beyond his years.
Was always on hand to break up play, a la N’Golo Kante, but showed a calmness and ability on the half-turn which really puts him up there with the best in the league – a great performance let down by that of his teammates.
MASON MOUNT – 5
Didn’t play badly in the first half, but also added nothing really going forward for this Man Utd team.
Hooked at half-time for the more threatening Joshua Zirkzee.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 6
Had a goal ruled out in the first half after he had persisted brilliantly to head home.
A little unlucky but it was still far from the finest Marcus Rashford performance we have seen, he looked a little low on confidence before being hooked for the more confident Garnacho.
AMAD DIALLO – 8
Had a great chance to open the scoring early on in the game as he arrived at the back post, but it wasn’t quite at the right height for him.
The young winger clearly has bundles of ability, and bagged the equaliser with a fine cut inside and finish with his left foot.
Worth a note that after losing his mother it takes a hell of a man to even be out on that pitch at 22-years-old. Well played Amad, we are with you.
BRUNO FERNANDES – 7
Cut a frustrated figure up front for Man Utd in the first half before thinking he’d bagged an assist when Alejandro Garnacho tapped home, only for it to be ruled out by VAR.
Just wasn’t his day today, but still created chances for his team and looked the most likely source of a winner for the Red Devils.
SUBS:
JOSHUA ZIRKZEE (MASON MOUNT, 45) – 4
His only real action of note in the game was denying his team the winning goal.
Alejandro Garnacho had done the hard work and was about to give Man Utd the lead, only for Zirkzee to slide in and see it ruled out for offside.
His mistake did display an eagerness to score, but it was an error which cost his side nonetheless.
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (MARCUS RASHFORD, 65) – 6
Did his job well in replacing Marcus Rashford and adding the end product which was needed by Erik ten Hag, but was robbed of a goal by his teammate as aforementioned.
Looks a danger whenever he plays on that left hand side, but after the goal that never was he was well defended for the remaining minutes.
SCOTT MCTOMINAY (BRUNO FERNANDES, 79) – 5
Bought on as a target man once again to try and get the winner for United, he wasn’t really provided with many opportunities in just over 10 minutes to really do that.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT (HARRY MAGUIRE, 79) – 5
Wasn’t really given enough of a chance to show what he is all about, but it’s minutes in the tank for the new man and he did what was asked of him after coming off the bench.
ANTONY (AMAD DIALLO, 90) – 5
In fairness to him, made a good run as soon as he entered the pitch and crossed well for Scott McTominay.
However, he wasn’t given enough time to make any significant impact.
OASIS fans have been left in a frenzy as the deadline to get presale ticket codes was extended AGAIN.
Tickets for the shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh go on sale on Saturday morning from 9am.
And tickets for the Ireland shows drop an hour earlier at 8am.
The pre-sale ballot had been extended until 10am today – giving fans an extra opportunity to get their hands on those golden tickets.
Success in the ballot, does not guarantee you to get a tickets, which will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
It’s been Oasis-mania in recent days with fans desperate to get their hands on the gig tickets.
One wrote: “Literally had nightmares last night about not getting tickets, shit’s getting real. I have to go into work today and will stay back late for the presale (provided I’m lucky enough to receive a code).”
A second posted: “Woke up feeling sick and insane yet again. Oasis you’re killing me here!”
A third said: “Feeling queasy & dreading the funk I’m going to be in this weekend (& longer!) if I don’t get a ticket!”
“I’m calling in sick tomorrow to give myself the best chance of getting tickets,” a fourth added.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to get your hands on a ticket – and the mistakes to avoid.
A source said: “These shows will sell out in less than three minutes. Extra dates will be added for sure.”
Music insiders told The Sun how excitement levels reached fever-pitch at 8am on Tuesday when an online post confirmed Monday’s Sun story that Oasis were reforming.
New photographs of Noel and Liam were also published, with insiders telling The Sun the top-secret snaps were taken three weeks ago in London.
A source said: “Once the deal was signed seven weeks ago, Noel and Liam confirmed they would meet in person for a shoot.
“The shoot happened around three weeks ago and the few people in the room signed non-disclosure agreements to stop it leaking.
“Noel and Liam haven’t had an easy relationship but they were very comfortable with each other.
“They were messing around and having a laugh. You could feel the magic and chemistry. Being with them in that studio felt like being transported back to the 1990s.”
The band’s founder Alan McGee this week told Virgin Radio that the brothers’ mum Peggy, 81, was a major reason for the reunion.
He said: “I’m sure she is behind the whole thing.
“Peggy is great, she is rocking on.”
He added of the brothers: “They’re really professional. I don’t think it (falling out) will be an issue.”

Insiders also said Liam and Noel’s children were key in the shows coming together.
Noel’s daughter Anais, 24, broke her silence on the reunion with a sweet post, sharing an old photo of her father and Liam, captioning it simply: “Summer 2025.”
She is also close to Liam’s sons Lennon, 24, and Gene, 23, who said earlier this month they had discussed their parents reforming their band.
Gene said of Anais: “We have jokes about it. She knows what her dad is like and I know what my dad is like. Hey, we’re a big happy family everyone.”
On Monday, Spotify revealed that streams of Oasis music had rocketed by 160 per cent globally in a week thanks to fans listening to songs from their eight No1 albums.
Music sources have told The Sun that bands including Fontaines DC and Kasabian are among acts being discussed to open the massive shows.
A source said: “Opening for Oasis is the hottest ticket in town.
“Talks are ongoing with groups like Fontaines DC and Kasabian, as well as Gene Gallagher’s band Villanelle who opened for Liam’s Definitely Maybe tour.
“As Liam would say, the chance to perform at those shows would be ‘biblical’.”
WAYNE Rooney could be reunited with Ravel Morrison for a FOURTH time, Sun Online can reveal.
Rooney played with the Jamaican international at Manchester United – and then signed him at Derby and DC United.
Now, with Morrison available for free, Wazza is weighing up a move to take him to Plymouth.
Morrison – who is still only 31 – is widely regarded as one of the best players to ever come through the ranks at United.
But he’s been plagued by off-the-field issues and disciplinary woes.
Rooney however has always been close to Morrison and sources told Sun Online the ex-England, Manchester United and Everton legend thinks Morrison could do a job for him this season.
The south coast side watched Morrison in a PFA-arranged friendly last week featuring players available on free transfers.
Morrison was a precocious talent in Manchester United’s under-age sides, and in an interview earlier this month, ex-Man Utd 18’s manager Paul McGuinness says he learned plenty from working with him.
During his UTD Podcast episode, former Under-18s coach McGuinness was asked about the now-Jamaica international’s much-discussed ability and argued that his subsequent career deserves to be viewed differently.
He believes Ravel had a way with the ball that was akin to how Argentina‘s great Lionel Messi draws opponents in.

He was an amazing player,” McGuinness told co-hosts Helen Evans and Sam Homewood in the latest episode of the podcast. “And the best way to coach him was not to coach him.
”The best way was to create a game where his stuff would come out. If you start telling him what to do, he wasn’t going to be having it, you know?
“So he was an amazing player and I’ve had some really top players so it means that, as a coach, you learn from your players as well.
“So, in the sense that [fellow coach] Jim Ryan had a phrase. He said it’s the ‘arrogance of timing’ and so some coaches in the position thought he was being arrogant. But it was just the way he played.
It was like Messi,” he recalled. “He’d wait for you, wait for you to go closer and closer. Close to the fire, without getting burnt and get close, then he just play it.
“And you’d be like ‘oh, you’d better pass it now’ and he wouldn’t.
”You couldn’t tell him when to play it. No, he was too good for that, in that sense.
“So, yeah, he was amazing. I remember we won the league and then we won the Youth Cup and we played against Leeds in like the last [league] game, I think, and they didn’t see the ball for 10 minutes.
“And he was unbelievable and then, all of a sudden, the centre-half just kicked him from nowhere and the coach is on the side, Neil Redfearn, and said: ‘About time too!’
”He was like, somebody do something because he was too good! And he could do those things with the first team and a lot of people say: ‘Oh yeah but he’s thrown it all away, he’s wasting it and so on’.
“But, actually, if you know the full story from being younger, his background and different things, he may actually be one of the best performing.
“You know, he might actually have done well despite all the sort of disadvantages he had.”

PASSENGERS who paid £27,000-a-month for a three-year world cruise have been trapped in Belfast for months.
The Odyssey was supposed to take passengers on an epic tour of Europe, Asia and the Americas.
But the ship has been stuck in Belfast for three months after crew discovered problems with its rudders and gearbox.
Some of The Odyssey’s passengers had sold all their possessions to pay between £75,000 and £700,000 for a cabin.
They now have to disembark from the ship at night and stay in local hotels.
Swedish pensioner Johan Bodin, 54, told the Mail: “We’ve had good time but we didn’t sign up for a ship to stay in one port.”
Johan has kept himself busy touring Belfast’s pubs, visiting Giant’s Causeway and trying fish and chips.
Holly Hennessy, 67, from Florida, told the Telegraph: “It hasn’t felt like summer.
“It has been winter as far as I’m concerned. I’m used to the Florida sunshine. I had to go out and buy vitamin D tablets.”
The Odyssey was built in 1993 and can hold more than 900 passengers.
Operator Villa Vie Residences has sold cabins both for unlimited cruises and for shorter ones lasting between 35 and 120 days.
Nine out of ten passengers reportedly plan to stay on board for the whole world cruise.
David Austin, from the US state of Georgia, said: “I was committed, having sold my house right before my arrival.
He added: “I’ve stayed committed to this adventure with every delay.”
Villa Vie Residences boss Mike Petterson said: “We came into Belfast from Edinburgh on our own power.
“We were confident that our beautiful Odyssey would fly through class surveys.
“We have since then been quite humbled by the scale of what it takes to reactivate a 30-year-old vessel from a 4-year layup.
“After the lapse of all classifications of class we are now considered new ship where all machinery and equipment must work as if new.
“We are having to do major works such as the rudder stocks, major steel work and engine overhauls.”
He added: “We have persevered and are now in the last stages of departure.
“We are scheduling sea trials early next week.We expect a very anticipated successful launch next week.
“We will head to Bremerhaven, Amsterdam, Lisbon, then across the Atlantic for our Caribbean segment.
“We are extremely grateful for our residents who have stood by our side through the tough times.
“We have worked with our residents to provide hotels, cruises, shore excursions, trips to Tenerife and Liverpool.
“We are welcoming them for onboard visits where they can get their rooms ready and connect with crew and fellow residents.
“It is great to see the relationships building and the community bonding as we are looking forward to the next 15 years of discovery.”
How do I find out if my cruise has been cancelled?
Cruise liners should let you know as soon as possible if your cruise has been cancelled.
If it’s cancelled on the day of the trip, you should be informed no later than 30minutes after the time you’re scheduled to leave.
P& O is contacting all passengers that were due to visit the area.
What if my cruise is cancelled and I’m at the port?
If your trip has been cancelled and you’re already at the port then the operator should provide you with free snacks, meals and refreshments, even if the reason it’s been cancelled is due to bad weather.
What you’re entitled to depends on how long the delay is.
The Department for Transport recommends that tea and water are appropriate refreshments for a delay of over four hours, followed by a snack or light meal.
If the delay goes over eight hours then a hot meal should be provided.
But food and drink will only be provided if it’s possible for the operator to get them to you reasonably, says ABTA.
This will depend on the facilities available at the port terminal or on board the ship, the time of day and how close the port is to local amenities.
The operator should also offer you free accommodation if the cancellation means you need to stay somewhere overnight, either on board the ship or ashore.
But it’s also free to look at other options, such as paying for your trip home or asking you to make your own arrangements and offering to reimburse expenses.
The only time the ship does not have to offer this service is when the cruise has been cancelled due to bad weather, where the conditions might endanger the safety of the ship.
Can I get a refund or compensation if my trip doesn’t go ahead?
If your cruise has been cancelled the operator should offer you the choice of either an alternative trip or a refund.
Unlike EU regulations that protect passengers from airline cancellations, there is no fixed amount of compensation owed to you in these kinds of situation.
You may be entitled to compensation through the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangement Act 2018.
You’ll only be able to claim the cash if the tour operator was unable to put the trip right again.
And you won’t get a payout if the cruise was cancelled due to extraordinary circumstances.
Will I get a refund if I cancel the cruise?
If you cancel your trip then you won’t be able to claim compensation and you may have to pay a cancellation fee.
You might be able to claim on your travel insurance depending on the policy, so it’s worth checking the small print.
SHOPPERS are rushing to buy a heavily discounted item from their nearest B&M store which is perfect for cosy nights in as autumn gets closer.
The Goodmans film projector now costs just £1, instead of the full price of £69.
One savvy shopper spotted the bargain buy on sale at B&M and posted it on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, writing: “Goodmans projector scanning through as £1 in B&M.”
One person commented: “Go grab me one.”
Another said: “Check these tomorrow.”
Someone else wrote: “Paid 70 for this last Christmas.”
Another added: “Has anyone managed to get one??”
The B&M website is selling the Goodmans Mini Projector for £49.00, but stock will vary.
It’s capable of displaying a picture up to 150″ wide, and is compatible with TV smart boxes and sticks, such as Now TV, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Google Chromecast, and Roku.
It can also work with satellite or cable boxes such as Sky, Virgin, BT, games consoles, USB sticks, USB hard drives, DVD & Blu-Ray players, laptops, smartphones and tablets.
Amazon is selling a similar mini projector with a tripod for £49.99.
You can also buy an old school style vintage film projector on eBay for £79.99.
It’s always a good idea to shop around to make sure you can find the best deals.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers.
All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
CamelCamelCamel is another option – but only for goods that are sold on Amazon.
To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
