Carol Vorderman scathingly compares Boris Johnson to a 'dose of diarrhoea'
During Friday's episode of Have I Got News For You, UK TV legend turned political commentator Carol Vorderman delivered a scathing takedown of former prime minister Boris Johnson amid his latest scandal. Johnson is currently embroiled in another lockdown-related controversy with claims that gatherings he held at Chequers broke Covid restrictions. Given that Johnson is back in the news again its no surprise that he was a subject of conversation on HIGNFY once more but not to the delight of Vorderman. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The 62-year-old TV presenter said: "Boris Johnson is like a dose of diarrhoea that keeps on giving, is he not? Every single time you switch on the news, he's still there. How does this happen?" Regularly HIGNFY panelist Ian Hislop wittily replied: "I think it's something to do with the system."

Reading vs Chelsea LIVE: Latest WSL updates from final day United are away at Liverpool and must hope Reading pull off an unlikely victory. The Royals need to win to have any chance of survival, and begin the day two points adrift of Leicester.

Is Reading vs Chelsea on TV? The WSL title-decider will be shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event. The match will kick-off at 2:30pm BST on Saturday 27 May.

Emma Hayes: “This is just business as usual for us. The preparation is what we’d prepared for at the very beginning of the season. It’s not like we’ve won leagues comfortably in the past – so nothing is different from our perspective. We’ve always known from previous experience it goes to the last game.” Kelly Chambers: “If you just give up now or don’t believe then, for me, what’s the point of stepping out there on Saturday? There’s still a glimmer of hope there for us and we just have to give everything we can. If we are beaten by the better team, I can accept that – what I can’t accept is that we don’t turn up and fight for everything.” Read More ‘Business as usual’ as Chelsea look to wrap up Women’s Super League title Chelsea the title favourites as Leicester look to survive – WSL talking points Departing Magdalena Eriksson and era-crowning win show why WSL title heading back to Chelsea Liverpool vs Manchester United LIVE: Latest Women's Super League updates Reading vs Chelsea LIVE: Latest Women's Super League updates Manchester United hit Mason Mount obstacle as Chelsea name price

How much do Championship play-off final winners earn?
Today’s Championship play-off final offers huge rewards to the winner as either Luton Town or Coventry City will complete their fairytale rise from the ashes by reaching the Premier League. Often dubbed ‘the richest game in football’, the play-off final is worth huge swathes of money to the winner as they get to join the elite, 20-team cash cow that is the Premier League. It’s only nine years since Luton were playing non-league football but their incredible rise since reaching rock bottom has seen them punch above their weight by besting plenty of clubs with much bigger budgets and Wembley success would lead to the incredible sight of heavyweights such as Man City, Arsenal and Manchester United heading to the famously modest Kenilworth Road. Meanwhile, Coventry have essentially been to hell and back since slipping out of the top flight 22 years ago but, finally playing in their own city once more and having recently got rid of the millstone of Sisu ownership from around their neck, the Sky Blues are looking to complete a five-year ascent from League Two to the promised land. But how much is the Championship play-off final actually worth to the clubs involved? How much will the winners get for being promoted to the Premier League? Ahead of the 2020 Championship play-off final, Deloitte reported that the victorious club could earn anywhere between £135m and £265m, depending on whether or not they could avoid immediate relegation from the Premier League. What TV money will the winning club receive in the Premier League? Official figures for the 2020-21 season showed that broadcast revenue incredibly totalled more than £2.5bn and was distributed among the 20 clubs in the Premier League. Of that, each club was guaranteed at least £31.4m in equal share payments, £47.5m in international TV money and £5.9m in central commercial payments: a baseline of roughly £84.8m per team, regardless of position. In fact, Norwich City, who finished bottom of the league in that campaign, were handed just over £101.5m. By comparison, Championships clubs only receive around £8m in TV rights income for a season spent in the second tier. What other payments are there? On top of this, clubs are given merit payments based on where they finish in the Premier League. For the 2022/23 campaign, the sliding scale will see the champions receive roughly £44m and the bottom-placed team around £2.2m. The team finishing 17th, and just avoiding relegation, is set to receive around £8.8m, as well as staying in the top tier to cash in again next term.
