JAN MOIR EXCLUSIVE: One Direction's Video, Tom Cruise, Kate Middleton and #BGT

No, I don't suppose Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik smoking a joint is the end of civilisation as we know it. The walls of Jericho will not come tumbling down. Life will go on for One Direction and their millions and millions of teeny supporters — but it will never be quite the same. In the fevered relationship between band and fan, something fundamental has been broken. Trust. This week, footage emerged of Louis and Zayn smoking marijuana in a van en route to a concert in Peru. They appeared to be filming each other while indulging in some excruciating rapper talk, boasting about the drugs they were consuming, looking forward to consuming more drugs in the future. Hemmed inside the van by police outriders, speeding between hotel and concert, the film seemed to sum up the claustrophobia...

CARL FROCH EXCLUSIVE: I fight to secure my family's future... and I'm not done yet

There is a wistful look on the chiselled features of Carl Froch as he holds his year-old daughter Natalia on his lap. George Groves would be unwise to seize upon the tender mood of this photograph, taken by Froch’s partner Rachael Cordingley, as indication that the man he is about to fight in front of 80,000 people is going soft in his sixth year as a world champion. The moment is poignant because Froch has been rationing his cherished family time to the barest minimum during his two-and-a-half months of preparation for the re-match which will fill Wembley Stadium to throbbing capacity on Saturday night. Family time: Carl Froch takes a break from training to spend time with his baby Natalia ahead of his re-match with George Groves at Wembley next weekend Baby ...

CARLO ANCELOTTI EXCLUSIVE: Yes, they love me at Real... but lose this Champions League final and they'll all want to kill me!

Carlo Ancelotti takes a long drag on a cigarette as he considers his response to a question he clearly finds amusing. Having reminded him that he has the opportunity to join Bob Paisley in becoming one of only two managers to have lifted the European Cup three times, I suggest he would be perfectly entitled to flaunt his success rather more than he does. Why, for instance, does he not follow Louis van Gaal’s lead in occasionally referring to himself in the third person? Or perhaps remind the media that he too is a bit ‘special’? This, after all, will be Ancelotti’s seventh European Cup final as a player and a manager. Pretty damn special by anyone’s standards. The manager of Real Madrid starts to laugh, and then shakes his head. Date with destiny: Carlo...
