Streamer AngryGinge ‘arrested and banned’ from Silvestone at the British GP

Finally, an actual reason to be angry.

Danny Jones Danny Jones - 7th July 2025

Popular Manc influencer, ‘AngryGinge’, was arrested, fined and ultimately banned from Silverstone at this year’s British GP.

The Salford-born Twitch streamer, YouTuber and social media personality (real name Morgan Burtwhistle) was detained at the circuit after being arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

Ginge recently starred in Soccer Aid 2025 and is a well-known face both on the internet and in the sporting world, regularly working in and around football, and is an avid Manchester United – even featuring in the club’s third kit launch video last year.

The 23-year-old and two other fellow streamers, ‘Chazza’ and ‘Samham’, were accused of criminal damage after sitting in an F1 car whilst recording around the Silverstone complex.

According to reports, Ginge and his peers were alleged to have broken part of a display vehicle.

The local lad claimed they had been asked to pay £30,000 in compensation; national outlet talkSPORT has since confirmed the story with Northampton Police (NP) via an official statement.

“On Friday, July 4, NP received a report that a classic Formula 1 car on display at Silverstone Circuit during the British Grand Prix event had sustained several thousands of pounds worth of damage, which was alleged to have been caused by someone accessing the display stand and climbing into the vehicle.

“Officers carried out initial inquiries, and suspects were identified. Three men, aged 23, 25 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a vehicle and taken into police custody.

“Following a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, all three men were released with no further action.”

He and his friends have at least seen the funny side, sharing snaps from outside Northampton Justice Centre; Ginge even played ‘Locked Up’ by Akon as he walked out on stream in an orange jumpsuit.

Burtwhistle went into more detail on the incident on socials, explaining that the trio were taken away in handcuffs and “locked up” for several hours – 15 hours, according to SamHam (Samuel Imie).

All three individuals deny causing any damage to the racecar, even despite users sharing clips from the livestream footage captured for the Red Bull online Content on the day that many argue incriminates them, or at least sounds like it – we’ll let you watch and decide for yourselves.

Ginge himself went on to detail that ridculousness of the situation, explaining how he was effectively detained for watching someone else climb into the vehicle.

He’ll be dining out in this one for some time, you can be sure of that.

Chloe Kelly delivers powerful patriotic statement after the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 win

Danny Jones Danny Jones Chloe Kelly patriotic so proud to be English Euro 2025 final

Match-winner Chloe Kelly has delivered a powerful and patriotic statement following England’s second consecutive Women’s Euros win in yet another moment of national pride for the Lionesses.

The former Manchester City player, who faced doubts over even being included in the Euro 2025 squad, once again enjoyed the hero moment in the final against a very talented Spain team, firing a rocket of a penalty into the top left corner.

It wasn’t the first time she’s played the role of difference maker either, not only having scored the winner in their last European final against Germany, but scoring the decisive goal in the semis against Italy to book their final spot in first place.

Here’s the moment she almost took the roof of – both metaphorically and quite literally:

Speaking in the immediate aftermath to the BBC, the 27-year-old Arsenal star was clearly full of all the emotions, so much so that she did let a little swear word off, telling a reporter: “When we were down against Sweden and down against Italy, we f***ing showed grit and determination and we came back.”

However, not only was she given instant dispensation and forgiveness for the expletive slip-up (she’s just won the Euros for the second time, after all), but this wasn’t even close to the stand-out comment from her post-match interviews.

Kelly went on to say, “I’m so proud to be English”, adding that whatever the circumstances in a major tournament or otherwise, for that matter, “you can’t write us off.”

For a country that has regularly wrestled with the muddy line between patriotism and nationalism, especially over the last couple of decades, it came as a breath of fresh air to many of those watching back home.

An unpolitical, simple moment and declaration of something people don’t say as much as they perhaps should.

Writing via X, City A.M. columnist James Price said: “I haven’t heard anyone on telly say that about England in so long.”

“For all the sneering from some quarters, that’s just such a wonderful thing to hear. Much more of this, please, in all kinds of arenas.”

It goes without saying that we couldn’t be prouder of the England women’s team, and we can’t lie, we definitely enjoyed Chloe Kelly lapping up the plaudits and proving her haters wrong.

The so-called ‘Queen of Clutch’ now has two different European Championship-winning strikes and her big finish in the Finalissima shoot-out against Brazil.

Safe to say, the London-born forward has well and truly earned the right to soak up these scenes and enjoy her moment in the spotlight yet again.

It was almost as if she was trying to reel off as many famous phrases and clippable sound bites as possible, telling national media in the post-match press conference: “Thank you to whoever wrote me off, I’m grateful.”

Rejoice, England: football came home – you could say it never left.

Former doctor jailed for sexually assaulting patients in his care in Wigan

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

A former doctor has been jailed after being found guilty of sexually assaulting patients in his care in Wigan.

Vijay Gaikwad, from the Lowton area of Wigan, appeared at Bolton Crown Court last week, and was convicted of multiple counts of sexual assault following a thorough investigation by Greater Manchester Police (GMP), alongside the ‘courageous’ testimonies of the victims.

The 44-year-old psychiatrist was found guilty of sexually assaulting three patients under his care.

The offences, according to GMP and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), occurred during medical appointments between 2019 and 2020 made to discuss their mental health and ongoing medication, where Gaikwad exploited his position of trust to inappropriately touch the victims.

In each appointment, Gaikwad suggested that he needed to carry out a physical examination of the women.

During the examination, he touched and squeezed their breasts, despite there being no medical need for him to do so.

In his police interviews, Gaikwad denied carrying out physical examinations of the women’s breasts, and further denied sexually assaulting his patients.

Gaikwad was sentenced to six years in prison last week.

“As a Doctor, Vijay Gaikwad was trusted by his patients,” commented Gill Petrovic, who is the Senior Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West.

“He abused that trust by sexually assaulting three patients in his care. Gaikwad’s sickening actions have had a profound impact on the women who came to him for help. One woman told police that she had self-harmed after this incident because it had upset her so much.

“Gaikwad failed to take responsibility for his actions, making them relive their abuse at trial.”

Detective Constable Lucy Page added: “Gaikwad abused his position of trust in the most egregious manner, and today’s outcome reflects the seriousness of his actions. This sentencing will provide some sense of justice for the victims.”
