Celtic’s next Champions League opponents Borussia Dortmund reveal they’re putting returned tickets up for sale TODAY

CELTIC Park was PACKED for the Champions League kick-off against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday.

But the next team up in the competition for Brendan Rodgers‘ side are putting extra tickets on sale TODAY.

Borussia Dortmund are one of the headline opponents for the Hoops in the new-look league phase.

Celtic head to Germany and the iconic Westfalenstadion – currently known as the Sigma Iduna Park – for matchday two next month.

It’s Germany‘s biggest ground and includes the world-famous ‘Yellow Wall’ making it a must-visit for football fans.

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel is already looking forward to joining the fans there to catch son Kasper in action – but the home side have now revealed they have SPARE seats for the big game.

It’s one of the stand-outs on the Celtic schedule but it appears Uefa haven’t been quite as taken with the tie as eager Hoops fans.

Officials have returned some unused briefs back to the Bundesliga side – and they go on sale this lunchtime.

BVB explained: “Uefa has not claimed all of its ticket contingent for the Champions League home game against Celtic Glasgow (Tuesday, October 1st, 9pm). The remaining tickets will be available from the BVB ticket shop from 12pm on Friday (September 20th).

“Club members who have not yet exercised their right of pre-emption can purchase up to two tickets in the online ticket shop.”

Dortmund kicked off their campaign with a 3-0 win over Club Brugge in matchday one.

Meanwhile Celtic were weighing in with even more goals as they stunned Slovan Bratislava with a 5-1 romp.

Goals from Liam Scales, Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Adam Idah sandwiched a cool penalty from record signing Arne Engels in the second half.

It floored the Slovaks and boss Vladimir Weiss, whose namesake son captained the visitors.

Weiss Junior had a season on loan at Rangers earlier in his career and was jeered from the capacity crowd throughout his appearance but he “didn’t take it personally”.

The fans reaction though was music to the ears of one former Old Firm opponent who turned the air blue with a sweary, X-rated rant about the 35-year-old and his previous stint at Ibrox.

Josh Warrington vs Anthony Cacace: UK start time, ring walk, live stream, TV channel, full card for Wembley title fight

JOSH WARRINGTON is back in action this weekend as he faces Anthony Cacace in front of a packed Wembley Stadium.

Warrington, a former two-time world champion, was hoping to challenge Cacace for the IBF super-featherweight title he won from Joe Cordina earlier this year.

Josh Warrington and Anthony Cacace are set to clash at Wembley Stadium[/caption]

But the IBF has blocked the title fight because of Warrington’s supposed inactivity at 130lbs and his last fight being a defeat.

Cacace was brilliant in his TKO win over Cordina and will be delighted with the fact that even if he loses to Warrington, his belt will stay firmly in his grasp.

Warrington hasn’t fought since he was stopped by Leigh Wood nearly a year ago and will be out to silence those questioning his title fight credentials against Cacace.

But the Northern Irishman will be brimming with confidence after unexpectedly picking up the IBF strap earlier this year, and he has the chance to pull off another big win on the biggest of stages at Wembley Stadium.

When is Warrington vs Cacace?

  • Warrington’s clash with Cacace will take place on Saturday, September 21.
  • The clash is likely to get underway from around 8pm BST.
  • Wembley Stadium will play host and there’s set to be a record 96,000 fans in attendance after an application to have the capacity extended was granted.

What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

  • The whole card, including Warrington vs Cacace will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office, DAZN and TNT Sports Box Office.
  • Sky customers in the UK will have to pay £19.95 for the huge event.
  • While TNT Sports and DAZN subscription members will need to cough up £19.99 to watch Anthony Joshua in action against Daniel Dubois.

Joshua vs Dubois full card

  • Daniel Dubois (C) vs Anthony Joshua (IBF heavyweight title)
  • Josh Kelly vs Ishmael Davis (middleweight)
  • Tyler Denny (C) vs Hamzah Sheeraz (European middleweight title)
  • Anthony Cacace (C) vs Josh Warrington (IBO super-featherweight titles)
  • Joshua Buatsi vs Willy Hutchinson (WBO interim light-heavyweight title)
  • Mark Chamberlain vs Josh Padley (lightweight)

Joshua Buatsi vs Willy Hutchinson: UK start time, ring walk, live stream, TV channel, full card for big domestic dust-up

IT’S time for another big Anthony Joshua night at Wembley – but on the undercard Joshua Buatsi will be looking to make headlines of his own.

The Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medallist takes on Willy Hutchinson in an all-British light-heavyweight clash in front of 96,000 people.

Scot Hutchinson is coming off a big win over Craig Richards while Buatsi has beaten the likes of Dan Azeez, Ricards Bolotniks and Richards too in recent years.

Hutchinson has suffered one defeat in his career, a damaging knockout loss to Lennox Clarke several years ago.

Buatsi, 31, is still looking for a big breakout win and has yet to fight for a world title himself.

And a win for 26-year-old Hutchinson over Buatsi would be a seismic one for his career, and could see him thrust into a world title bout first.

When is Buatsi vs Hutchinson?

  • Buatsi vs Hutchinson will take place on Saturday, September 21.
  • The fight will likely begin at approximately 9pm BST, with ring walks about 15 minutes before that.
  • Wembley Stadium will play host and there’s set to be a record 96,000 fans in attendance after an application to have the capacity extended was granted.

What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

  • The full card will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office, DAZN and TNT Sports Box Office.
  • Sky customers in the UK will have to pay £19.95 for the huge event.
  • While TNT Sports and DAZN subscription members will need to cough up £19.99 to watch Anthony Joshua in action against Daniel Dubois.

Joshua vs Dubois full card

  • Daniel Dubois (C) vs Anthony Joshua (IBF heavyweight title)
  • Josh Kelly vs Ishmael Davis (middleweight)
  • Tyler Denny (C) vs Hamzah Sheeraz (European middleweight title)

  • Joshua Buatsi vs Willy Hutchinson (WBO interim light-heavyweight title)

Mrs Hinch cleaning fans reveal 15p trick to get your mirror sparkling – it will stop any annoying fuzz & smears too

IT’S one of those little tasks that can quickly become a big annoyance. 

You start with high hopes and a bottle of cleaner, but before you know it, you’re wrestling with streaks and smudges that seem to keep multiplying.

It can feel like a never ending battle. 

And one cleaning fan knows exactly this feeling.

So much so, she took to Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks Facebook group to ask other people if they knew of any quick hacks or tricks.

Uploading a picture of her mirror, she wrote: “Suggestions on what to use on mirrors?! 

“I only wash my cleaning stuff together. 

“I use microfiber clothes but they keep leaving fuzz on the mirrors. Help!” 

Many cleaning fans rushed to the comments section to offer their advice. 

And one suggested a 15p trick which means she won’t have to break the bank spending a fortune on cleaning products. 

One wrote: “Put some vinegar in water, wipe onto the mirror then buff up with newspaper works a treat.”

Another also agreed and wrote: “Newspapers are best for cleaning mirrors and windows.”

Whilst someone else also agreed with using vinegar.

They wrote: “White vinegar spray. Not a full spray and a microfiber cloth.”

“Dettol in the aerosol can with kitchen paper. Comes up amazing,” suggested another cleaning fan. 

A fifth added: “Use a little bit of washing up liquid with water in a spray bottle and kitchen roll.

“Did all mine yesterday they’re sparkling and no streaks.

“I do all my windows the same as I have done for years.”

We also previously revealed a savvy hack to help get rid of stubborn stains in the sink. 

And another Mrs Hinch clean fan revealed just the trick. 

They wrote: “Sprinkle with bicarbonate and slice a lemon in half and scrub.

“Don’t rinse for a couple of hours then add dish washing liquid and use the other half of lemon and scrub again it should work.”

A second added:“Plug in, and pour cheap cola over and leave for a while.”

Whilst a third said: “Cheap washing powder and hot water.

“Leave to soak overnight.”

Mrs Hinch cleaning tips

For Drains:
Pour a cup of bicarbonate of soda down the drain, followed by a cup of white vinegar.
Allow it to fizz for ten minutes, then flush with hot water to clear any blockages and eliminate odours.

For Skirting Boards:
Mix a capful of fabric softener with water in a spray bottle.
Spray it onto a cloth and wipe down your skirting boards to repel dust and leave a fresh scent.

For Microwaves:
Place a bowl of water with a few slices of lemon inside the microwave.
Heat on high for three minutes, then let it sit for another five minutes. The steam will loosen grime, making it easy to wipe clean while leaving a fresh lemon scent.

For Stains and Odours:
Sprinkle soda crystals onto your carpet, leave for at least an hour (or overnight for tough odours), then vacuum thoroughly.
This helps to lift stains and neutralise odours.

For Tiles:
Use an old toothbrush dipped in a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and water to scrub the grout between tiles.
This helps to remove mould and mildew, leaving your tiles looking fresh and clean.

For Dusting Blinds:
Use a tumble dryer sheet to wipe down your blinds and remove dusts.
It will also help prevent static, which helps to keep them cleaner for longer.

For Kettles and Showerheads:
Fill your kettle with equal parts water and white vinegar, bring it to a boil, and then let it sit for an hour before rinsing it thoroughly.
For showerheads, fill a bag with white vinegar, secure it over the showerhead using an elastic band, and leave it overnight.
In the morning, make sure to rinse it well.

For Ovens:
Use a dishwasher tablet (the powdery kind, not the gel ones) to scrub the inside of your oven.
Dampen the tablet slightly and use it to gently scrub away grease and grime.

For Multi-Purpose Cleaning:
Dilute Zoflora disinfectant in a spray bottle with water (as per the instructions on the bottle) and use it to wipe down surfaces, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean.

For Upholstery:
Put on a pair of damp rubber gloves and run your hands over your furniture.
The rubber will attract pet hair, making it easy to gather and dispose of.

Inside Jorgie Porter’s luxe gender reveal at stunning mansion – with dozens of balloons & flying confetti

HER on-screen persona murdered her cheating baby daddy after getting pregnant at 17, but Jorgie Porter’s real life is much less dramatic.

Now 36, the actress, who’s played Theresa McQueen on-and-off in Hollyoaks for 16 years, lives in Chorley, Lancs, with her property developer fiance and their two – soon to be three – kids.

She’s due with her second child in December – will it be a boy or a girl?[/caption]

Jorgie, who’s due in early December, is today sharing her gender reveal exclusively with Fabulous.

She and Ollie Piotrowski, 35 – a former roofer who’s now worth £2million thanks to projects with footballers and billionaire businessmen – had their first son Forest in December 2022.

That means they’re facing the dreaded ‘two under two’ later this year – and Jorgie admits there’s ‘chaos’ to come.

She tells Fabulous: “I didn’t think this through because only now am I seeing how crazy Forest is.

“He just escapes and runs around and wants to do his own thing for little reasons, this morning it was a toothbrush.

“So having a baby at the same time, I think this is going to be quite tricky. I think it’s going to be chaos.”

Despite this, Jorgie and Ollie are delighted to become parents again, something which is likely made more poignant by their previous experiences.

Jorgie miscarried four babies in 2021, after falling pregnant with quadruplets.

It was a missed miscarriage, where the body does not recognise pregnancy loss, and happened at around 14 weeks.

In February 2022, the couple learned of a second miscarriage, after six weeks of pregnancy and on the day of their engagement party.

Jorgie, who’s also step-mum to Ollie’s son Alfie from a previous relationship, said ahead of the big reveal: “We’ve got two boys already so I’d of course be a boy mum again.

“I know how to do that, to play that game, but a girl would be cool.”

“I don’t think you’re ready for the sass though,” she teased Ollie.

“I know Alfie would like a girl, we’ve had this chat. Forest has no idea what day it is so he’ll be fine with either.

“I don’t know if Ollie and me are ready for another baby and the sleepless nights.

‘Two under two’

“Forest’s now at a stage where he can get up and open the door himself, so you have to be really on high alert because he climbs out of his cot as well.

“So we’re doing things on an extreme level now, whereas with a baby you’re more like ‘there you go, put that baby there, they’re crying’.

“Now I’m a toddler mum, it feels like having a baby is quite easy.

“Toddler time is hard and then adding a baby to that, I don’t think we’ll know what sleep is ever again.”

Who is Ollie Piotrowski?

Ollie Piotrowski, 35, has transformed his life from a 16-year-old roofer earning £20 a day to a successful property developer with a net worth of £2 million. Engaged to Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter, Ollie recently starred alongside her in reality TV show Drama Queens. The show offered a behind-the-scenes look at their Lancashire life and Ollie’s property business.

His company Pinnacle Holdings is now 10 years old. Ollie has partnered with international footballers and billionaire businesspeople, advising on projects worth £500 million. His journey began by saving £30,000 between ages 16 and 20, which he used to buy, renovate, and flip a home for £65,000.

Inspired by his grandfather Zdzislaw Piotrowski, a concentration camp survivor who moved to Britain with no English skills, Ollie aimed to create a unique investment company. Pinnacle Holdings advises investors on where to put their money and partners with them, taking a cut at the end rather than upfront.

Ollie’s first major success came after a year of networking in posh London hotels, leading to a partnership with a Saudi general.

Rekindling his relationship with Jorgie after a chance meeting in a hotel, Ollie continues to grow Pinnacle and plans to develop a luxurious off-grid resort called Minimo.

Jorgie, herself a December baby who celebrates her birthday on Christmas Day, says: “I’m more heavy this time, it really hurts, I think I’m more moany too.

“This time around is a completely different pregnancy – I feel bigger, wider, heavier. Things hurt more and faster. I’m even more stupider, I’m being really stupid.”

Working during pregnancy

Jorgie joined Hollyoaks as Theresa McQueen in 2008, but has taken a couple of breaks from the role, most recently for her maternity leave last year.

Admitting she’s “not really been in” lately, she says: “Working and being pregnant is quite hard because I just want to eat a lot.

“You can’t really eat all the time at work (as an actress), they don’t really let you.

“But also driving and doing all the things you need to do for work is quite hard.

“I don’t even mind moaning about it now, because I know I will only be like this for a while.”

This is the second time Jorgie has revealed her baby’s gender in a magazine, but we’re doing things slightly differently today.

Gender reveals have exploded in popularity over the past few years and it’s not just celebrities doing them – thanks to sites like TikTok where people can shout their happy news to the world.

The big reveal

The page Gender Reveal Miami – where parents celebrate with fireworks, smoke bombs, pink G-Wagons and even fake TNT – has 1million followers and nearly 34million likes.

What’s the Deal with Gender Reveals & Why is Everyone Having Them?

What Is A Gender Reveal?

Gender reveal parties are celebrations where expectant parents announce the sex of their baby in a creative and often dramatic way.

These events have gained significant popularity, especially through social media.

The trend began in the late 2000s and has since exploded in popularity.

The concept was popularised by parents who wanted to share their excitement with family and friends in a memorable and engaging way.

Common Methods:

  • Cakes: Cutting a cake filled with either blue or pink filling.
  • Balloons: Popping a balloon to release colored confetti.
  • Smoke Bombs: Releasing colored smoke.
  • Piñatas: Breaking a piñata to reveal colored candies or confetti.
  • Fireworks: Using fireworks to display blue or pink colors.

Why Are They So Popular?

  1. Social Media Influence: Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube have amplified the trend, with many parents posting videos and photos that go viral.
  2. Milestone Celebration: It’s an additional way for parents to celebrate a significant milestone during pregnancy.
  3. Creativity: These events offer an outlet for parents to be creative and personalize their announcement.
  4. Community Sharing: They provide an opportunity to include extended family and friends in the pregnancy journey.

Controversies:

  • Safety Concerns: Some gender reveal methods have led to accidents and even wildfires.
  • Environmental Impact: The use of non-biodegradable materials and fireworks can have environmental consequences.
  • Inclusivity: There’s growing awareness and sensitivity towards non-binary and transgender identities, leading to criticism that these events can be exclusionary.

Despite the controversies, gender reveal parties continue to evolve.

Some parents are opting for more eco-friendly and inclusive ways to celebrate, while others are choosing to forgo the tradition altogether.

In summary, gender reveals are a modern trend driven by social media, creativity, and the desire to celebrate milestones.

However, they also come with their share of controversies, prompting some to reconsider how they choose to share their baby news.

Although Jorgie kept things more low-key, with a cake cutting and balloon popping at home in the gorgeous kitchen of her north-west mansion.

The result, which you can watch in the video at the top of this article, is that she’s having her first girl.

Looking down at his pink filled cake, Ollie admits: “I’m definitely not ready.”

“She’s going to be one sassy girl,” Jorgie adds.

“I’m slightly panicked because obviously I’m a girl and I know what I was like as a kid.

“So it’s probably going to be quite a lot of chat back and tantrums.”

Ollie even jokes that he’ll be “building another house” to escape the madness.
