When love happens
Remember the quote, “You only find love when you stop looking”? Well, this was made a reality in the life of the most sought-after man on Tinder. The love-stricken Stefan Pierre-Tomlin found love during lockdown after ditching the popular dating app to start a romance with his model friend. Stefan was crowned the most popular man on Tinder after more than 14,600 people swiped right for him in just two years.

The 36-year-old was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer. In a shared footage of the incident, the singer-songwriter can be seen engaged in a scuffle with an office.

Trey gets the officer in a headlock and can be seen to throw a punch in the direction of the officer’s head. (okay, no more details, promise). Fans can be heard shouting at the officer to stop as they record the incident from a few rows behind. According to fans, he “didn’t do it.”

End Racism
A football manager has learnt his lesson the right way after he was sacked as soon as a “grotesque” footage of him appearing to make a shocking racist diatribe went viral.
