Moment Chelsea ace Marc Cucurella uses mobile while driving Mercedes G-wagon as he’s seen ‘veering across road’
CHELSEA ace Marc Cucurella is filmed apparently falling foul of the law on the road — by using his mobile phone while driving.
He was said to be veering across the middle of the road in his Mercedes G-wagon near the Prem team’s training ground.



Onlookers said the defender, in his club training top, appeared to be typing a text message at the wheel of the vehicle, costing between £140,000 and £210,000.
A witness near Dorking, Surrey, said: “The car came past us quite fast.
“I clocked who it was.
“We drove past him again.
“He was all over the place, over the middle line, because he was on his phone.
“My partner in the passenger seat was able to film it.”
A week later, the Spanish international, 26, played in the Blues’ Uefa Conference League final win — following his key role in the Spain team that beat England in last year’s Euros final.
Drivers caught using a mobile face a £200 fine and six points on their driving licence.
Cucurella’s agent and Chelsea FC were approached for comment.

Brit pop superstar thanks Netflix hit Adolescence for ‘changing her relationship with her son’ in heartfelt letters

SUPERSTAR Adele has written letters of thanks to the makers of Netflix hit series Adolescence.
The British singer, 37, told the director of the award-winning show that she had made a point of watching it with son Angelo.



And she praised the hard- hitting drama for “changing her relationship” with the 12-year old — who she shares with her ex-husband Simon Konecki, 51.
Film director Steven Spielberg is also a fan.
The series, starring Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham, tells the story of a 13-year-old schoolboy accused of murdering a girl in his class after being brainwashed by misogynistic online content.
Director Philip Barantini said: “I am getting messages, inundated on Instagram, from people from all over the world who can relate to this story or have really been affected by it.
“That, for me, has blown my mind a little bit.”
Speaking in a masterclass with the Royal Television Society, he added: “I had a text message from Steven Spielberg who has watched it twice and I got letters from Adele last week — handwritten letters from Adele.”
He continued: “I mean, just like saying that she had watched it with her son and it has changed their relationship.
“Things like that are just beyond anything I ever imagined from this little show that we made with our family.
“You see things like Baby Reindeer and all of those shows — they come out and then they just blow up.
“It’s a huge thing and that is the power of Netflix.
“For some reason, because we made it in Yorkshire and it is set in a small town in England, I never thought in a million years it would be the number one show in India or Venezuela.”
The four-parter has become Netflix’s second most-watched English language TV series, behind only Addams Family spin-off Wednesday.
Adolescence has amassed 141.2million views since its debut on the streamer on March 13.
It has also triggered a national debate and led to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer saying schools should show it to children.
Sir Keir said he watched the series with his 14-year-old daughter and son, 16.
He added: “As a dad, I have not found it easy viewing.”
New expenses scandal after ‘penny-pinching’ Lib Dem MP makes YOU pick up £154 bill for her Christmas party

AN MP has sparked a fresh expenses scandal after making taxpayers pick up the bill for her Christmas party.
Lib Dem Sarah Gibson took her team out to a restaurant for the festive dinner — before submitting an invoice for £154.

It was approved and paid by the expenses watchdog IPSA, but appears to be in breach of the rules, the Taxpayers’ Alliance revealed.
Head of campaigns Elliot Keck said: “Taxpayers are sick of these penny-pinching politicians tapping them up for a cost they should be bearing themselves.
“This MP in particular gets access to a second home with bills and council tax all covered, yet she can’t even pick up the tab for a meal to thank her staff.”
Ms Gibson, 59, who represents Chippenham, Wilts, said: “As a small business owner for many years I have been used to taking my staff for a Christmas meal to thank them for their hard work.
“Though this claim for a modest meal for my team, who were all in London for work purposes, was permitted by IPSA I do accept in retrospect that as an MP the situation is different.”
The expense claim read: “Team Christmas dinner to say thank you for everyone’s hard work since July, removing alcohol and service charge.”
IPSA rules state hospitality costs for a team meal out at a pub or restaurant are not claimable.
MPs can claim the costs of food and refreshments for an office festive gathering — allowed as hospitality.
But “any event or gathering must be explicitly within a parliamentary and work context”.
It comes after The Sun on Sunday revealed Labour MP Taiwo Owatemi claimed expenses for “pet rent” for her cockapoo in London.
