Snoop is a Celtic fan and has previously hinted at investing in the Glasgow giants.

And after bringing out his own cookbook, the rapper wants to offer punters more than just Gin and Juice.

Snoop has big plans for the Next Episode of his remarkable career.

The 53-year-old wants to open his own burger van outside Parkhead on matchdays.

Snoop claims he will use his signature “secret spices” as he rustles up gourmet patties for hungry supporters.

Speaking to the Mail, he said: “There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good.

“But that ain’t got to be the case.

“People know that Snoop is a cook, and I would love to bring a pop-up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good.

“It’s got to be Celtic Park man, I mean, where else am I going to bring it.”

Snoop claims to already have celebrity chef and Scot Gordon Ramsay on board.

And he says he’ll be there in person to serve Celtic fans their matchday grill.

He continued: “The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation.

“The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good-quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon.

“The Celtic fans are gonna love it.

“And to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.”

But those on the blue half of Glasgow are set to miss out on Snoop’s grub.

He added: “Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well?

“Nah, I think we will give that a miss.”

In a video, Nara modelled a low-slung white skirt and an off-the-shoulder cream top, which she lifted up to reveal her burgeoning bump.

Lucky, who looked thrilled at the news of his wife’s pregnancy, gave her a tight hug, before giving her stomach a tender kiss.

“Baby no. 4 loading,” she wrote over the top of the clip.

“Our little surprise,” she added in the caption.

With the majority of people in the comments section offered their congratulations, others questioned what the baby would be called – considering the couple have chosen unique monikers for their other three children.

Their first child, born in October 2020, is called Rumble Honey, while their current middle child, three, is called Slim Easy.

Their youngest, who turned one in April, is named Whimsy Lou.

Lucky is also dad to daughter Gravity, whose mother is model Stormi Bree.

“4 kids by 23? That’s insane as I’m sure the name of the baby will be too!” one wrote in the comments section.

“Congratulations, patiently waiting for the name of the baby,” another added.  

“Omg congrats!!! Can we revisit Bubble for the name,” a third commented.

“Congratulations. I can’t wait for the name announcement,” someone else admitted.

Others harked back to an interview Nara and Lucky had given to GQ magazine back in 2024, when they said that despite originally wanting six children, they were “absolutely done” with three.

“After Whimsy, we are absolutely done now,” Nara told the publication.

“Having toddlers is the best sort of birth control, because they’re wild.”

While Lucky added: “We feel like we couldn’t be as good of parents if we added in any more.”

“Is no one gonna talk about how she was done after 3 kids and is popping out another one AGAIN?” one person wrote in the comments.

“I’m almost certain you said you didn’t want anymore… hmm. Well congrats anyways!” another added.

“Didn’t she say she’s done with 3 kids?” a third questioned.

“Loving this for you honey but it makes me laugh how last year you were dead set on 3 babies!” someone else said.

“She literally killed me during her GQ couples quiz when she said she was absolutely done having kids,” another wrote.

“But I guess she’s changed her mind about having 6!”

“They took the mission of populating the earth very seriously,” someone else joked.

SOME people enjoy netball or cross-stitch, but my hobby is booking holidays – and I’m really good at it.

I know a lot of people hate searching for a family holiday, working out what resort is best and whether it’s good value for money, but I enjoy it. 

Helen Wright

I treat it like a sport. 

There is no better feeling than getting a really great deal for a week in the sun.

I go through the flights, hotels and dates with a fine tooth comb, working out little ways to save. 

I have been doing this since my early 20s, after picking up the habit from my dad – back then, the best bargains were on last minute deals.

We used to pack our suitcases and my dad would be on the phone to Teletext Holidays, nabbing a same day bargain. 

His greatest achievement was booking a flight that had already started boarding. Although, we’d never be able to do that now. 

However, it’s still a thrill when you lock in a trip for a bargain price. It makes the holiday instantly better. 

Sometimes it’s a small saving, like finding a cheaper airport transfer and saving £20, but sometimes my research pays off, saving hundreds. It all adds up. 

Getting a package deal

Last year, I got my biggest saving yet on a family holiday to Greece. 

By booking everything individually, instead of going for a package deal, I saved over £1000 – which was a third of the price. 

I couldn’t believe it!

Having just moved house, we hadn’t booked anything for summer, hoping to utilise the garden. 

But, the end of term was approaching and after months of grey skies and drizzle, I decided we needed a proper holiday.

The best deals were in Greece.[/caption]

Heading first to a popular holidays provider, I browsed the best deals across all six weeks of the kids’ school break. 

I didn’t have a set departure airport or destination in mind and I kept the dates and length of time we’d be away flexible, which meant I had a wide range to choose from. 

At the time, Greece was coming up the cheapest, and I narrowed it down to the Louis Apostolata Island Resort in Kefalonia

The deal was pretty good. Flights from London, a week half-board in a four-star resort, a suitcase each and transfers to and from the airport in Greece for £3400.

But, since we hadn’t planned on a summer holiday, it was still over budget. 

That’s when I started looking into each aspect separately. I discovered that instead of flying with the designated airline, we could fly with Ryanair for half the cost. 

Flights were £140 return on the budget airline.

Since we didn’t need four suitcases, we just booked one between us for the week, immediately saving another £150 on the Ryanair flights. 

Going onto the hotel’s own website, I noticed that I could book directly with them and the price was coming up a lot less.

They also had an offer on a room upgrade if you signed up to the mailing list. We actually ended up with a nicer room, while paying less.

Helen’s family ended up getting two trips for almost the same amount![/caption]

The only thing that wasn’t covered was transfers. On the package deal, a coach transfer was included but it also stopped at a number of other hotels. 

When I looked it up, a taxi to the resort was only £80 return. 

However, even with this on top, we still saved a whopping £1001 on the whole trip. 

We used the money we saved to book a weekend in Disneyland Paris in October.

Again, I booked everything separately, using the Eurotunnel to drive to France and booking a hotel close to the theme park with 2-day tickets for just £440 for all of us. 

Our trip only cost £1300. 

After saving money on our Greece trip, I told people that Disneyland only cost us £300! 

Book carefully

My advice would be to always book with reputable suppliers, because you could end up forking out more if they are not legitimate. 

If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. 

I do like DIY holidays but I am not against booking a package deal and sometimes they are so good, I can’t beat them. I think that’s great. 

 Our favourite places to shop for a package holiday are Jet2holidays and TUI.

Booking a package means you get extra protection for your holiday through regulators like ABTA, ATOL and ABTOT. 

This means you’ll get your money back on all aspects of the package in the event of any holiday disasters, like flight cancellations or issues at the hotel – which I wouldn’t have had with my DIY version.  

For peace of mind, some people prefer to pay extra and not have to think about that, but massive holiday disasters are rare so I am happy to take the risk. 

COLIN Keane has been named as Juddmonte’s new retained rider in a huge career landmark for the Irish jockey.

Per The Racing Post, the six-time Irish Flat champion jockey has been elevated to the prestigious role with immediate effect.

Juddmonte chief executive Douglas Erskine Crum laid out why he was the natural choice in a statement.

He hailed: “In the past we have had retained jockey relationships [including with Pat Eddery, Richard Hughes and James Doyle] but in recent years we have preferred to work with the many talented jockeys retained by our various trainers around the world.

“We have decided that the time has now come to revert to the security and consistency which comes from having a single jockey retainer relationship.

“We are delighted that Colin Keane has committed himself to Juddmonte.

“He is one of the most exciting and talented riders of his generation, he shares Juddmonte’s values, we know him well and we warmly welcome him to the Juddmonte team.”

Keane, 30, himself added his delight towards the bottom of the statement.

The Meath native added: “I have grown up watching these famous colours carried to many victories in all the top races around the globe so it’s very special for me to be asked to ride as first jockey for Juddmonte.

“I’m excited to get started and look forward to working with some of the best trainers in Ireland, England, and France.

“Tony Hind will look after my UK rides as he has worked closely with Juddmonte for many years now through Richard Hughes and Ryan Moore.”

The Irish Field first reported the news late on Sunday event by detailing an email that was sent out by Ger Lyons’ daughter Kerri to the yard’s owners over the course of the weekend.

On the back of the news becoming official there’s been a tonne of congratulatory messages towards Keane from horse racing fans.
