Huge British rapper making comeback as he’s working on dance music with DJ Don Diablo AFTER fronting C4 motor series Bangers: Mad For Cars last year, Tinie Tempah is returning to his original form of bangers – music. I can reveal the Pass Out hitmaker (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/16411578/who-tinie-tempah-how-old-extraordinary-extensions/) is going back to his roots to work on a new dance record, enlisting the help of Dutch DJ Don Diablo. GettyRapper Tinie Tempah is working on a new dance record[/caption] The rapper has been holed up in a North London studio crafting his sound. An insider tells me: “Tinie wants a huge comeback and is looking to recreate some of the club anthems he made earlier in his career. “He has enjoyed spending time on other projects but feels ready for a comeback and is lining up some festivals.” Motor lover Tinie has racked up a stunning car collection (https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/25580611/tinie-tempah-car-collection/), including a £180,000 Lamborghini supercar. He seems to have a taste for high-end roadsters and has even got his hands on an extremely desirable classic (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/classic-cars/). The artist famously used a suped-up Mercedes (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mercedes-benz/) GL SUV to participate in the 2014 edition of the Gumball 3000 Rally, a £40 million event which sees stars complete a 3,000-mile road trip in their own supercars. (https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/25580611/tinie-tempah-car-collection/#) Other participants that year included Jonathan Ross (https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jonathan-ross/) in his Lamborghini Gallardo and David Hasselhoff (https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-hasselhoff/) in a Nissan (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nissan/) GT-R. The current version is priced at around £76,000, while models from over a decade ago still sell for over £30,000. The 549 V8 would have been more than enough to power the rapper along the highway, with a top speed of 155mph. He also owned an SLS AMG, a sportier model worth in excess of £200,000. Tinie’s fame grew tremendously in 2010 (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/16411578/who-tinie-tempah-how-old-extraordinary-extensions/) when released his debut single ‘Pass Out’, which entered the UK Singles Chart at number one, and sold over 92,000 copies in its first week.

The 54-year-old pulled out of filming for the Christmas special last week – sparking fears the show may not be finished. BBCThe Repair Shop’s Jay Blades with King Charles[/caption] RexLisa announced their marriage split[/caption] The breakdown of his 18-month marriage (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27697432/jay-blades-wife-lisa-marriage-split/) was revealed by his wife Lisa.

Filming for the winter one-off had already begun at the Weald & Downland Living Museum in Chichester. However, The Mail on Sunday (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13383443/Jay-Blades-marriage-split-puts-Repair-Shop-Christmas-special-crisis-furniture-restorer-tells-bosses-not-able-planned-recording-sparking-genuine-fears-never-finished.html) reports the work was suddenly put on hold last Monday. “It has become really problematic,” a source told the newspaper. “Things have been really difficult for Jay. His relationship imploded last weekend and clearly he didn’t feel like he could work. “He is known to be a pro, so for him to have to do this means that things must be bad. He must be having a pretty awful time.” Lisa wed the BBC (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/) presenter, 54, in Barbados in front of just 15 guests at a beachfront villa in Barbados, exchanging “imperfect” rings designed by Repair Shop (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-repair-shop/) ­colleague Richard Talman (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22477086/the-repair-shop-guest-breaks-down-in-tears-as-she-pays-emotional-tribute-to-late-family-member/). But in an emotional online statement, Lisa (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27685455/repair-shop-jay-blades-wife-lisa-last-photo-split/) described herself as “broken” as she admitted their marriage was over. She said: “The world got the best parts of my husband. I got a whole lot of everything else.”

Cops blasted for failing to issue public appeal to find a fugitive knife crime suspect COPS have been blasted for failing to issue a public appeal to find a fugitive knife crime suspect. The force (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25434285/timeline-reveals-moments-leading-norfolk-quadruple-death/) only admitted the lad was on the run after the news leaked. Norfolk Police have been blasted for failing to issue a public appeal to find a fugitive knife crime suspect (stock image) The 17-year-old — charged with attempted murder — absconded from local authority secure accommodation last weekend. He had previously spent six weeks at large before his arrest over the stabbing of father-of-two Danny Norman in Thetford, Norfolk (https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/norfolk), in March. Reporting restrictions applied by the courts (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/) prevent the youth from being named because of his age and Norfolk Police also refused to issue a description to help track him down. Sources said his escape only came to light after the victim’s family were informed by cops and a local paper ran a story. Ex-Met (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/) officer Peter Bleksley (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11838686/peter-bleksley-racist-police-fitted-up-beat-black-80s-brixton-riots/) said the decision was “appalling, reckless, dangerous and woke”. He added: “The public deserves to know what this fugitive looks like.” Norman Brennan (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27700102/inside-rise-of-dine-and-dash/), chair of The Law and Order Foundation, said: “The police should identify him by name, description and areas he likes to frequent. “They should go back to court. “There must be special circumstances where a youth under 18 is rightly identified.” Norfolk Police said its “enquiries are ongoing”. A spokesman added: “Nothing can be published that could lead to the identification of a victim, witness or defendant under 18 years old.”
