8:35 pm
in football had been asking — just what happened to dele? i was waking up every day, and i was winning the fight. you know, going into training smiling, showing that i was happy. but inside, i was definitely losing the battle. that battle was against sleeping tablets, drugs he'd been taking to mask the pain of a tumultuous childhood. he told former england footballer gary neville that at the age of six, he was molested by a friend of his alcoholic mother's. his father was absent, living in africa. by eight, he was dealing drugs. finally, when 12, he was adopted by what he describes as an amazing family. he no longer has contact with his birth parents. after a public falling out with his then coach at spurs, jose mourinho, he contemplated ending his career. i rememberjust looking in the mirror. looking in the mirror — i mean,

8:56 pm
and they're probably going to be a lot of cloud around overnight. and they're probably going to be a lot of cloud around overnight, so a little bit warmer than last night away for northern scotland where we've got single figure temperatures. but let's focus on the southwest. this is where we've probably got the worst of the weather, i think, for friday. as well as the rain, we've got these strong, gusty winds, gusting 50 mph perhaps, and some rough seas. and that rain's going to be with us for much of the day. before it does clear away later, it could turn heavy and thundery. that rain will push further north and eastwards across more of england and wales, up into northern ireland, maybe eventually into the south of scotland. something a bit drier for the north of the country. could be muggy for a while in the southeast, but if anything, those temperatures are likely to be even lower than they were today in the wind and the rain. and it's all due to that area of low pressure deepening as it heads across the uk. it's going to be sitting around into saturday, lots of isobars on the chart, an indication it's going to be unusually windy, really, for this time of the year. and the rain when it comes could be heavy and thundery. of course, it's going to stay
8:57 pm
on the cool side as well. focus on the winds, though, for saturday, and the strongest winds will be across england and wales. it's in this area that we're more likely to have some impacts because of the strength of the wind, and the strongest winds could be along some southern coasts and over the hills, but particularly gusty when those showers arrive and it doesn't take long for them to set off. we've got a lot of downpours developing widely across england and wales where it's windy. not quite so windy for scotland and northern ireland, but again, some heavy and thundery rain is possible — all depressing the temperatures, of course. that area of low pressure still with us, then, on saturday will continue to just drift northwards, could take the worst of the weather away with it as well. but, if anything, it may be a windier day for scotland to northern ireland, perhaps the north of england, not quite so windy on sunday further south. and there may well be some sunshine around, but still some heavy, thundery showers, wetter weather in the north and the top temperatures 20 or 21 celsius.
