As Oasis continue their much-anticipated reunion tour around the UK, fans are now being warned of the potential of catching Covid at the gigs, prompting safety measures20:36, 02 Aug 2025Updated 20:37, 02 Aug 2025Oasis’ sold-out Wembley reunion shows have been slapped with a Covid superspreader warning.The swarms of fans attending Noel and Liam’s packed gigs were hit with the alert as part of a public notice put up by the makers of an upcoming documentary on the band’s comeback shows. Film studio bosses included a warning about the dangers of catching Covid in a sign that also revealed the working title of the film is What’s The Story.Fans entering Wembley were met with a sign saying by attending the gigs they are giving their agreement to be filmed for the upcoming film. One of the signs said: “Please be advised that filming is taking place in this area in connection with the production of a film provisionally entitled ‘WHAT’S THE STORY’ (Film.)”Along with further terms and conditions about image rights and filming, the notice also ominously warned: “You acknowledge the contagious and potentially dangerous nature of the Coronavirus /COVID-19 (Covid) and that the government and many public health authorities recommend practising social distancing. You acknowledge that there remains the possibility that by entering this area you may come into direct or indirect contact with Covid and you freely and willingly enter this area notwithstanding this knowledge.”Fans were warned of filming for a documentary during the gig, as well as the potential to catch COVID(Image: Grab)The note concluded: “If you do not wish to be photographed, recorded, or appear under these conditions, you should leave this area immediately. Thank you for your co-operation.” Experts have also told the Daily Star touchy-feely Oasis fans are being warned not to hug each other while boozed-up at the gigs.Hundreds of thousands of the group’s overjoyed fans have been packing together and embracing each other while revelling in the Gallagher brothers’ group’s first sold-out reunion gigs in Cardiff and Manchester. But experts have put a downer on them by saying they are in danger of putting them at the centre of major Covid outbreaks.Akash Sood from Knightswood Pharmacy, owned by his company DS Pharm Ltd, believes while fans should enjoy the reunion of one of the UK’s most well-loved bands, it’s key crowds should also take pandemic-style safety precautions. He added it was especially important to take care if they have pre-existing medical conditions that could make catching Covid deadly.He said: “While Oasis mania has spread across the country, it’s important that safety precautions are followed. It’s expected that many people will be under the influence of alcohol and as such may be overly friendly at the gigs.Health and safety officials warned concertgoers to give each other space as COVID could easily spread(Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto)“It is important to try and stay safe from others who try to embrace you during the concert. Coughs, Covid and flu are all on the rise and if you have a pre-existing medical condition then it’s advised you take care and mask up to protect yourself.“While it is not pandemic levels any longer, Covid is still very active across the UK and just as Oasis fans travel across the country so too does Covid. It is clear that concerts such as this one can quickly become super spreader events with over 400,000 expected to attend the gigs in Manchester alone.“New strands of Covid can infect thousands within metres of one another, so wear a mask if concerned, be safe and enjoy the return of Oasis.” It comes as Oasis have had Wembley stadium heaving since last Friday, with around 90,000 fans packing the venue for every night of their comeback shows.Latest government figures show Covid cases are rising. In the week up to July 16 there were 1,081 new reports of people contracting the disease and in the week up to July 11, a total of 55 people were killed by the virus; as of the end of June, there were 737 patients receiving treatment for Covid in hospitals.When asked if the Oasis gigs had the potential to cause similar disasters, the UK Health Security Agency said it did not want to comment on “particular events”. The Daily Star has been passed accounts of fans coming down with Covid after around 150,000 of them packed the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, to see Noel and Liam Gallagher perform their first two reunion shows on July 4 and 5.It comes as Oasis continue their sell-out reunion tour to hundreds of thousands of fans(Image: Joshua Halling/Big Brother Recordings)A spokesperson for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said they were unable to comment when asked if it had logged an uptick in Covid cases in the wake of the gigs. The United Kingdom Crowd Management Association told the Star huge events such as the Oasis gigs and Glastonbury Festival “can carry transmission potential”.It stressed “well-managed outdoor concerts typically pose lower risk” when it comes to catching Covid, especially when organisers and attendees adopt precautions. Chair of the UKCMA, Anne Marie Chebib told the Star: “While there are currently no credible links to COVID‑19 transmission at the Oasis concerts in Cardiff, evidence from the UK Events Research Programme highlights that most well-managed event, particularly indoor seated or outdoor seated gatherings, did not lead to increased transmission.Article continues below“However, attendance at mainly outdoor, unstructured multi‑day events was associated with a 70% higher risk of infection compared to baseline periods. This contrast underscores the importance of proportionate safety measures, such as crowd management, hygiene facilities, adequate ventilation, and pre-event testing, to help reduce transmission without unnecessarily impacting the attendee experience.”For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.

Kerry Katona is said to be ‘smitten’ with her new boyfriend, personal trainer Paolo Margaglione – but their romance has already been hit by a number of ‘tense moments’19:42, 02 Aug 2025Updated 19:42, 02 Aug 2025She’s worried about ‘tension'(Image: Kate Green, Photo by Kate Green/Getty Images))Kerry Katona’s blossoming romance with fitness trainer Paolo Margaglione may already be facing challenges. The pair, who confirmed their relationship with a trip to Ibiza, appeared to be in a tense exchange in photos taken on the island.A source close to the couple claims that while they are “smitten” with each other, Kerry, 44, is hesitant to put their relationship in the public eye. With the new series of Celebs Go Dating, where they met, set to air soon, Kerry’s concerns could be causing friction between the couple.”Kerry is being very cautious with this romance,” the source says. “She has been very wary about going public with Paolo and it impacting their relationship. She’s been down the route of high-profile, public relationships before and she doesn’t want anything to ruin things this time.”(Image: Channel 4)Kerry has so far kept quiet about her new relationship with Paolo, 33, a father of two from Yorkshire. However, with the ups and downs of her past relationships having been public knowledge, our insider suggests that Kerry is apprehensive about repeating history.”Kerry’s worries have caused some tense moments as she doesn’t want any exterior drama getting in the way. But Paolo isn’t overthinking it – he’s just really happy to be with her. He doesn’t see the problem and is telling her not to worry, they’re great together and should just enjoy what they’ve got.”, reports the Mirror.Body language expert Adrianne Carter believes that, despite the couple looking smitten in their holiday snaps, their body language could indicate underlying tension. “Kerry’s body is angled towards Paolo’s slightly, so she is interacting with him, but the top half of her body is leaning away – this is often a sign of disagreement – maybe they’ve had a bit of a row, or bust-up.”He’s holding her hand possessively and taking a more dominant position with the hands, while she looks like she’s ready to disengage her hand,” Adrianne elaborates. “The tilt of her head looks like she may be questioning or disputing something. There’s a tenseness to both of their expressions that doesn’t look relaxed.”However, an insider suggests that Kerry’s stress may stem from the intensity of her feelings for Paolo and her strong desire to make this relationship work after experiencing so much heartache in the past. “Kerry loves being in love – she’s trying to do this the right way. They’re smitten with each other and can’t believe they’ve found one another. They just don’t want anything getting in the way.”The new couple has also faced external pressure, including criticism after Paolo’s ex-girlfriend Jessica Smith publicly claimed he was dating her when he signed up for the show, alleging his sole motivation was fame.The source adds that Kerry’s loved ones are also concerned. “Friends and family are worried she’s jumping in a bit fast and should maybe take a break from men. But she’s very happy and determined to make it work with Paolo,” they claim.Despite the claims, Kerry, who recently underwent her fourth boob job, and Paolo have remained together since filming for the show wrapped earlier this summer.Article continues belowKerry has been married three times before: to Brian McFadden, with whom she shares daughters Molly and Lilly, before they split in 2004 after two years of marriage; to taxi driver Mark Croft, with whom she had Heidi and Max, before their split in 2010; and to George Kay, with whom she had daughter DJ in 2014, the same year they married. George passed away in 2019, two years after the couple split.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters. More

Molly-Mae Hague has seen her popularity dwindle in recent months, and a PR expert has now claimed that her days at the top of the showbiz pile ‘could be over’19:35, 02 Aug 2025Updated 19:35, 02 Aug 2025It’s been rough for Molly MaeMolly-Mae Hague was left in floods of tears last week following yet another barrage of criticism from fans branding her ‘out of touch’. Now, a PR expert has told OK! that they reckon the golden girl’s appeal is diminishing and her celebrity status could be ‘completely finished’.The 26 year old, amongst Love Island’s most triumphant alumni with an estimated fortune of £6m, had declared in one of her vlogs that she’d experienced ‘nothing enjoyable this summer’, despite embarking on numerous extravagant getaways documented across social media.Her latest adventure saw her jet off on a family excursion in her £86K motorhome, following which she revealed feeling ‘overwhelmed’ and suffering a ‘meltdown’ when her two year old daughter Bambi, whom she shares with partner Tommy Fury, became exhausted and screamed for hours on end.An expert has spoken(Image: Instagram @mollymae)Whilst some showed understanding towards the difficulties of travelling with a toddler, others were swift to condemn Molly-Mae for her complaints, highlighting her wealthy circumstances and regular luxury breaks, branding the influencer and businesswoman ‘tone deaf’.Our insider reveals that such comments genuinely distress the mum-of-one, with the backlash capable of deeply affecting her mood. “She does get upset that she’s constantly in the firing line from the public, but she also doesn’t understand why because she doesn’t feel like she’s done anything wrong. She works hard and is proud of what she’s achieved.”, reports the Mirror.The mother-of-one made waves recently after moaning in a YouTube clip that she hadn’t experienced any enjoyable activities during the summer period.”I said to a friend the other day, that I’m going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing,” she told viewers. “I haven’t a life. That’s not good is it. Summer will end and I’ve not done one fun social thing.”However, supporters were swift to highlight numerous excursions Molly had undertaken this year, including jaunts to Dubai, a getaway to Disneyland, a weekend break in Budapest, their recent campervan adventure to the Isle Of Man, and appearances at prestigious occasions such as Wimbledon, prior to which she splashed out thousands at Christian Dior for her tennis tournament ensemble.Responding to the criticism she’s faced in a latest video, Molly insisted she ‘doesn’t care’ about the negative reaction, though admitted it makes her ‘nervous’ to speak candidly with followers. “I don’t care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that’s going on on TikTok at the minute, I don’t care I’m not going to not talk about it.Molly Mae and Bambi(Image: Instagram)”I feel like I don’t want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I’m talking about at the minute, it’s just a lot.”Molly, who is known for her candidness, has confessed to finding it challenging with Bambi lately. In a YouTube video, she shared: “I’m having one of those toddler mum days, where I question, ‘am I actually cut out for this?'”.”Every single thing I try and ask her to do, she will not listen to me… She hasn’t eaten in like three days because she is refusing to eat. I’m finding it really hard.”She also acknowledged that Tommy seems to handle parenting more easily, admitting that it’s ‘tough’.Article continues belowIn light of the recent criticism, PR specialist Lynn Carratt suggests Molly Mae could be in danger of losing her ‘golden girl’ image. She told new: “Some of the things that she’s saying are coming across as out of touch with reality.”Molly was the sweet, girl next door on love island, and she had a true love story with Tommy which people really bought into and was very likeable. Men fancied her, girls wanted to be her. She came across as an inspiration. Now, she’s flying all over the world on private jets and sadly, it’s just not relatable anymore.”For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
