Strictly's Kym Marsh declared 'I quit' over claim she spurned British troops performance
Kym Marsh revealed she had been in tears over claims that she had refused to sing at a concert for British troops.The Strictly star proved that she was no quitter when her performance of the Charleston attracted praise from the judges last weekend, but back in the early days of fame, things were very different.The historic allegations left 24-year-old Kym fuming and she instantly issued a statement telling the world she was quitting her band, Hear'Say.The move came merely months after she had risen from obscurity and beaten thousands to win a place in the music group. She revealed all about the traumatic moment in her autobiography, From The Heart."At the start of 2002, we were invited to play to British troops in Oman but I needed to be in the country for my children," she explained.David, 26, and Emilie, 24, who she shares with ex-partner Dave Cunliffe, are now grown up, but at the time of her rise to stardom, they were just six and four years old.Kym had previously admitted on Popstars that she thought having two children could stand in the way of her path to fame.However, little did she know a rumour would surface saying that she wasn't interested in doing a patriotic performance."There was a misunderstanding that I didn't want to go to Oman and a newspaper got wind of the story," she continued."When I asked my PR agent he said that someone [I knew] had spoken to the newspaper.

Premier League cult hero went from fighting fires to tackling road safety
Premier League keeper Ali Al-Habsi has always had a knack for saving things: be it goalward shots or lives.The Oman native, who became a bit of a cult hero in England through notable stints with Wigan, Bolton and Reading, would've been a fireman if he weren't some damn good at diving around on grass.After graduating from high school, Al-Habsi joined the fire brigade, working exclusively at Seeb International Airport in the Omani capital of Muscat."It was a challenging choice. Frequent fire-fighting drills occupied my days and though I never got the opportunity to douse an actual fire, I gained quite a few lessons on life," Al-Habsi told the Hindustan Times back in 2015.READ MORE: Win 2 tickets to watch England vs Germany in Nations League action at Wembley Stadium"Had it not been for football, I would have continued to be a fireman."In 2003, following years of playing semi-professionally, Al-Habsi got his foot in the door after being snapped up by Norwegian side Lynn Oslo, and it wasn't long before he was attracting attention from elsewhere in Europe.Bolton came calling in three years later, though Al-Habsi was used almost exclusively as back-up to Jussi Jääskeläinen and only made 18 appearances for the Trotters before sealing a career-defining loan move to neighbours Wigan in 2010.Should Premier League footballers be doing more to better society? Let us know what you think in the comments section.At the DW Stadium, Al-Habsi blossomed into one of the Premier League's most capable stoppers, and won Wigan's Player of the Year award before making his loan switch permanent.
