Cheryl Baker is hosting a sold‑out performance by The Fizz in her Kent garden, continuing a tradition that began during lockdown. The group, formed by Bucks Fizz members Baker and Jay Aston, recently added Matthew Pateman and Nikk Mager after 2024 public auditions. Members described their excitement about the lineup, praising the group’s energy and vocal blend. Baker suggested this may be the final garden concert, though she left open the possibility of future events.

Investigators from Gatwick Airport, West Sussex Trading Standards and police discovered about 150 vehicles crammed beside a scrapyard, despite customers being promised premium parking. Holidaymakers reported cars being left dirty, misplaced or left in short-stay areas where fines were issued. Gatwick officials described the conditions as shocking and urged travellers to verify operators through ParkMark accreditation, Trading Standards information and independent reviews as complaints about rogue firms continue to rise.
