EAMONN HOLMES has shockingly claimed footballers have told him the FA Cup has been used as “a receptacle for urine”.

The TV legend, 65, was reacting to tennis ace Aryna Sabalenka‘s “disrespectful” antics following her Australian Open final defeat on Saturday.

The Belarusian, 26, and her team, including boyfriend Geogios Frangulis appeared to pretend to urinate over the runners-up trophy.

That came after her shocking meltdown following defeat to Madison Keys in Melbourne.

Reflecting on the odd video, Holmes shockingly told GB News: “I know for a fact the FA Cup is often used as a receptacle for urine.

“Players have told me. More than one player over the years has told me that.”

Holmes failed to elaborate on the disturbing claims, including who told him and when it’s believed to have happened.

Meanwhile, fans have torn into Sabalenka for her behaviour on Saturday.

The world No1 was chasing a third straight Australian Open when she fell to defeat to surprise package, Keys.

The American became a major winner for the first time with a 6-3 2-6 7-5 victory in Melbourne, in her first Grand Slam final since her 2017 US Open loss.

And while Keys celebrated with her family in the stands, Sabalenka smashed her racquet in a fit of rage in front of the 15,000-strong crowd.

She then slumped onto her chair and hid her face under a towel.

After receiving her runners-up trophy, Sabalenka exited the court and was spotted on camera with her team appearing to mock-urinate on it.

One viewer took to X to moan: “What a disgusting and disrespectful action. They deserve an explanation and public apology for this terrible gestures.”

Another posted: “OK, that’s way too much… never seen something more disrespectful in tennis.”

Reflecting on her loss, Sabalenka herself said: “I think when you get to the point of finals, it’s trophy or nothing. Nobody remembers the finalist, you know?

“Should I say anything to my team? As always, that’s your fault guys. I don’t wanna see you for the next week. I really hate you.

“No, thank you so much for everything you do for me, blah blah blah.”

BRITAIN’S slowest-selling used cars in 2024 have been revealed, with one Hyndai model often taking over 100 days to get snapped up on dealership forecourts.

Newly released data from Auto Trader found that both BMW and Lexus are slow burners on the second-hand car market.

The wooden spoon award was scooped by the Hyundai Ioniq 6, which took an average of 125 days to sell last year.

The luxury Lexus RX comes in second place, taking 114 days to be picked up by a buyer.

In January so far, the slowest-selling car is the Honda CR-V, which takes 62 days to sell.

However, the used car market thrived in 2025, with second-hand motors selling at the fastest pace since records began in 2019.

On the other side of the table, Mercedes-Benz GLB Class took an average of just 16 days to sell last year.

The German marque also secured the second-place spot with its A-Class SUV, which takes 16 days and 12 hours on average to be sold.

EVs are also the overwhelming favourite model type, taking a median of just 29 days to sell, compared to 30 and 31 days for petrol and diesel vehicles, respectively.

Vehicles aged between three and five years old were sold at an even greater pace, with EVs flying off forecourts in just 23 days.

“We’ve entered January with real momentum, following a very positive market performance last year,’ Richard Walker, data and insight director at AutoTrader, explained. 

“Cars sold at a rapid pace, demand was very robust, and prices were stable. 

“But 2024 really was the year of the used EV, especially for those ‘middle-aged’ models which have become more accessible than ever, helping demand rocket over the last 12 months or so. 

“It shows that when the price is right, car buyers are more than happy to make the switch to electric.”

This comes as Dacia recently revealed that their budget-friendly Sandero model was the best-selling car across Europe in 2024 – despite once being the subject of a famous running joke on Top Gear.

The little model can be picked up brand new for under £15,000 – which is “good news” for penny-pinching drivers in the UK.

According to recently revealed stats, Dacia sold 309,392 units of the Sandero, making it Europe’s best-selling vehicle across all channels, even outselling the Tesla Model Y – which remains the world’s best-seller.

It also makes it the best-selling vehicle in the European retail market since 2017.

The Sandero is perhaps best known for the fame it found during the height of Top Gear’s popularity.

It was frequently mentioned during “the news” – a segment where presenters Clarkson, Hammond and May rounded up the latest events in the car industry.

Any word of the model being renewed was announced by May with a trademark cry of “good news”.
