Charli XCX responds to a baby being named after her on EastEnders
A truly significant moment in pop culture happened this week, when EastEnders treated us to an unexpected Charli XCX reference. Monday’s episode (4 September) of the soap saw Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) give birth to her first child with Ricky Mitchell (Frankie Day). Fans were treated to a sweet moment as the family met the baby for the first time – but the name of the couple’s daughter took everyone by surprise. When in hospital, Ricky spoke to Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and revealed they had named their baby Charli. Stacey handed the baby to Ricky, before asking again what the baby’s name was. “Her name’s Charli,” Ricky says, with Stacey responding: “Oh, after Uncle Charlie?” Ricky then clarifies: “No, after Charli XCX.” The moment quickly went viral and now the singer herself after it took over social media. Charli, who has a large following in the LGBT+ community, wrote on Twitter: “Shout out my gays in the writers room!” One fan replied to the comment by writing: “This is the most British crossover ever.” “this is so so iconic!!!!!!” another said. Another user commented: “Charli acknowledging this is so goddamn iconic.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Footballer Joao Cancelo accused of looking ‘possessed’ during post-match interview
Barcelona footballer Joao Cancelo lit up social media after his most recent post-match interview – and not necessarily for the right reasons. The defender scored a dramatic late winner on Sunday against Celta Vigo, recording a player-of-the-match performance for his Catalan team. After full-time, Cancelo, 29, was modest about his performance, mentioning that he made “many technical errors that are not normal in my game”. “I had to improve and turn things around,” he told reporters. “I tried to give everything until the end and we were able to come back and to win is the most important thing. “If I perform, the club will love me. If not, they will kick me out.” However, rather than focus on his exceptional performance, many viewers were more fixated on his facial expressions during the interview. Here’s the footage: One person commented: “I’m convinced he's a vampire fighting the urge to eat that journalist.” Another wrote: “At first I thought this was a Snapchat filter.” While Cancelo quickly returned to normal after pulling the face, there was something rather bloodthirsty about it. Another person commented simply: “I’ve seen him in my nightmares.” The 29-year-old joined Barcelona on a season-long loan from Manchester City. Aside from the bizarre interview, he looks to have secured a place in Catalan hearts after the winner. Barcelona went down in the match, but managed to score one back through striker Robert Lewandowski. Then, with just one minute of normal time left, the Portuguese player sent the home crowd wild by finishing a second chance. Manager Xavi said: “We didn't play well (but) came up with the epic, showing winning character. “I think this generation fights until the end. What happened today is a tremendous turning point of winning character, we didn't play well but it's about character, faith, the epic.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
