Better stick to opposite sides of the mosh pit! Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright BOTH party at Wireless festival

By Holly Thomas


Despite hailing from the same crowded corner of Essex, they've largely managed to avoid each other over the last few months.

So it should be interesting to see how formerly engaged Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright cope now that they might actually have to meet face to face.

The Essex pair are both partying tonight at Wireless festival- and it can only be a matter of time before they cross paths.


Could get messy! Exes Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger are BOTH partying at Wireless festival in London tonight

Dressed the part: Lauren was wearing her festival best- in denim hot pants, a black vest and bright red lipstick

Lauren was wearing her festival best- in white converse, denim hot pants, a black savous vest and bright red lipstick.

She wore her long hair loose, with braids at the sides. The reality star accessorised with gold bangles and a matching necklace.

Lauren posed up for a Twitter picture with a few girlfriends, taking the opportunity to do a little advertising as she wrote: '@ wireless... Rocking my @Laurens_Way glam tan today...'

Covered up: Lauren was relatively modest by her standards in a black vest top

Mark was likewise casual in jeans and a checked shirt, completing his a look with a pale khaki jacket.

He certainly wasn't shy to mingle, and posed up next to the Saturdays and JLS for a group pic.

Mark later appeared to enjoy Nicky Minaj's set, while Lauren occupied herself drinking with Louisa Lytton.

Not bothered about the music? Lauren mostly seemed interested in boozing

Super-tanned: There's no denying Lauren's the best possible ad for her product

Mark recently admitted that he thinks Lauren - who has been public over her efforts to lose weight with the Cambridge Diet- look great at the moment.

Talking to the Daily Star, he said: 'I think Lauren looks great, she’s always looked great.'

'I don’t think she needs to lose weight. As long as she’s happy in herself that’s all that matters.'


Never shy: Mark tweeted a snap of himself with Rochelle Wiseman, Wayne Bridge, Vanessa White, Tom Kilbey, JLS and Lydia Bright

Getting into the spirit: Mark looked stoked as he watched Nicki Minaj perform

Mark's comments are generous considering the occasional animosity Lauren still shows her ex.

She re-tweeted a fan recently who wrote: 'mark wrights loss is only some
one elses gain , fittest bird ever !! '

Got her own back: Tulisa Contostavlos let off a little steam in the direction of her ex boyfriend Justin Edwards while performing at the Barclaycard Wireless festival in London this afternoon

The crowd reportedly appreciated her dig, cheering Tulisa on as she vented a little pent-up anger.

The UK isn't known for having the best weather on record but that wasn't going to stop Tulisa Contostavlos from wearing what she wants.

Tulisa performed baring more flesh than what most people would feel comfortable doing.

As she paraded around on stage in a very low-cut bra top, there was no sign of Tulisa feeling the cold.

Giving it her all: The X Factor judge gave the crowd an eyeful of her cleavage as she belted out her songs

She teamed the busting black garment with a rather short and high waisted star print skirt.

The red, white and black item of clothing showed off the N-Dubz star's toned and tanned legs and also revealed some of her midriff.

Tulisa completed her look with a white and black jacket that featured an over sized collar, and black trainers.

She accessorised with several gold necklaces, large hoop earrings and a moustache ring.


Showing off: The singer bared her toned and tanned legs in a star-print skirt which she wore with a black and white jacket


Busting out: The singer pulls face during an instrumental segment of one of her songs

What's my name? Tulisa performed with her band against a backdrop of her name spelled out in pink writing

Her long dark hair was pulled back into a high ponytail and she also matched her red lipstick to the stars on her skirt.

The X Factor judge gave no indication to how she was feeling about her performance via her Twitter page, but no doubt she enjoyed herself.

Another young female star who took to the stage today was British singer Rita Ora.

Not so girly: Rita Ora showed off her midriff but kept her legs covered when she arrived on the stage

Where's the sun? The British singer teamed her camouflage trousers with a rolled up T-shirt and sunglasses

The 21-year-old opted against showing her legs off but she did highlight her tiny waist and very flat stomach in a black rolled up T-shirt.

The West London singer teamed it with a pair of baggy camouflage trousers that were covered in writing including the words 'need a rest.'

The R.I.P singer - who caught the attention of Jay-Z a few years ago - completed her laid-back look with sunglasses a black hat and chunky boots.

Happy to be here: Rita performed her number one single R.I.P to the sold out crowd

And they crowd certainly weren't going to let the on/off weather spoil their day and were seen crammed together in Hyde Park as they watched some of their favourite artists.

Rihanna, Jessie J and J.Cole are set to perform at the London festival tomorrow.

Tickertape parade: Dancers scream with delight as they take part in the 2011 Notting Hill Carnival

They came in their hundreds of thousands to dance and have a good time, Rio de Janeiro-style.

And today revellers let their hair down in style at the Notting Hill Carnival in West London, with drumming groups, floats and sound systems all taking centre stage.

More than 6,500 police officers were patrolling the streets for the second day of the event as Scotland Yard continued its unprecedented security operation just weeks after the riots.

By 3pm, 17 people had been arrested, bringing the total held over two days to 99.

Between 6am on Sunday and 8am today there were 88 arrests for a variety of offences, including drugs possession, public order, theft, criminal damage, robbery and assault, the Metropolitan Police said.

Mystery death of Cameron's top Tory ally found in portable toilet at Glastonbury Festival's VIP area

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shock: Christopher Shale is believed to have died from a heart attack but the definite cause is unknown


Christopher Shale was chairman of the West Oxfordshire Conservative Association

Festival organiser Michael Eavis told it was 'a suicide situation'

Tory sources: Chairman died from a heart attack

David Cameron describes him as a 'big rock in my life' who has 'suddenly been rolled away'

Death came hours after it emerged Mr Shale had authored damning report saying 'there's no reason to join the party'

David Cameron's constituency chairman was found dead in a portable toilet in the VIP area at Glastonbury today.


Devastated: A private ambulance believed to be carrying the body of Mr Shale is driven out of the VIP backstage area at Glastonbury music festival


Christopher Shale, chairman of the West Oxfordshire Conservative Association, was discovered dead by police at around 9am.

The festival's host Michael Eavis said he was told by police it was 'a suicide situation'.

However, Tory party sources said they believed he had had a heart attack but the exact cause of death is yet to be confirmed.

Mr Eavis, 75, spoke of his sadness over the death during a press conference held earlier today.


Make way: Security lift up barriers so the private ambulance can leave the festival area


The farmer said: 'Apparently I'm told it was a suicide situation in the early hours of this morning. It was in the Winnebago area.

'It's very very sad - I can't say too much about it."

Mr Shale, who is married with children, had been staying at a luxury £10,000 Winnebago compound just yards away from top celebrities like Kate Moss.

It is understood his family was with him. A distraught woman wrapped in a blanket - believed to be his wife Nikki - was comforted by police at the scene. Two teenage boys were also at the scene.

Inspector Chris Morgan, from Avon and Somerset police, refused to confirm or deny that the victim had committed suicide.

He said: 'We are not [officially] naming the gentleman at this moment because we believe there are members of the family that have not been told.

'I am aware that there has been some speculation that the gentleman has committed suicide. We are not saying that at this time.


Cordon: The body was found in a luxury Winnebago by a worker this morning

'We are still working on establishing a cause of death at this very early stage.

'We believe the alarm was raised by a member of staff who was working on the site.

'There are some family members here now but I believe there are other family members who have yet to be informed.'

David Cameron has already released a statement in which he described Mr Shale as 'truly generous'.

'Sam and I were devastated to hear the news about Christopher,' he said.

'He was a great friend and has been a huge support over the last decade in west Oxfordshire. A big rock in my life has suddenly been rolled away.


Thousands watch on the Park Stage where Pulp were performing yesterday. More than 137,000 people will attend the festival this weekend


'Christopher was one of the most truly generous people I've ever met - he was always giving to others, his time, his help, his enthusiasm and above all his love of life. It was in that spirit that he made a massive contribution to the Conservative Party both locally and nationally.

'Our love and prayers are with Nikki and the family. They've lost an amazing dad, west Oxfordshire has lost a big and wonderful man and like so many others Sam and I have lost a close and valued friend.'

A police cordon, guarded by at least eight officers, was put up around the backstage shower and toilet area as an investigation into the death of the 55-year-old got under way.

The camping area where festival production teams and some performers stay was also blocked off.

A host of celebrities were closed within the cordoned off area. Wayne and Coleen Rooney were understood to have been camping in a nearby luxury RV.

Mr Shale was believed to have been staying in a Winnebago next to the Times columnist Caitlin Moran.


David and Samantha Cameron were close friends of Mr Shale, the Prime Minister said today. Right, a policeman takes notes as an investigation is launched in the VIP area at the Glastonbury site

The writer tweeted: 'Woke up to find the man in the Winnebago next to us died. Bit of a grime start to the morning.'

Revellers reacted with shock as they were told the area was 'a crime scene'.
Tom Waite, 35, from Cheddar, was among those staying in the VIP area. He said: 'It's just awful for his family.'

The Mail on Sunday today revealed how Shale had made a scathing attack against the Conservative party and the difficulties it faces in trying to recruit new candidates.

In a strategy document, seen by the paper, he said: 'There's no reason to join [the party]. Lot's of reasons not to.'

In a sign of how hard the party is finding it to attract new members, the document concedes that the Prime Minister’s own association gained only 22 members in the past year.

Security had already been heightened at Glastonbury in the area where Mr Shale was found dead for the arrival of American megastar Beyonce.

Violence breaks out as protesters seek to shame Bono over failure to pay tax in Ireland as he headlines Glastonbury

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Clash: Security staff and members of direct action group Art Uncut tussle over a 20ft balloon during last night's performance


Violent scenes broke out in the crowd at U2's long-awaited Glastonbury debut last night as a protest against the Irish band's tax status was foiled by security guards.

As Bono and his bandmates took to the Pyramid Stage, activists from direct action group Art Uncut inflated a 20ft balloon emblazoned with the message 'U Pay Your Tax 2'.

But as the campaigners tried to release the balloon over the 50,000-strong crowd, a team of ten security guards wrestled them to the ground before deflating the balloon and taking it away.

The intervention by security after U2's opening song Until The End Of The World sparked angry clashes with 30 or more protesters.

One security guard told a photographer to 'go away', adding: 'If you are press, I'll have you.'

Several protesters were pinned against a fence near the Pyramid Stage after attempting to hold on to the balloon. There were no arrests.


Facing the music: U2 frontman Bono sang through the protest


One of the campaign group members said: 'That was totally over the top. He threatened to hit me.'

Another said: 'Political activism used to belong at Glastonbury. This was all going to be completely peaceful.'

A handful of U2 fans looked on open-mouthed and booed as the security guards swooped.
Gary Noble, 45, from Eastbourne, said: 'It was all a bit shocking. I love U2 but I think everyone should pay their taxes. The campaigners have a right to voice their opinion.'

U2 rattled on through their set of smash hits, with the only inconvenience for Bono being the rain fogging up his trademark sunglasses.



Getting the message across: The 20ft balloon created by protest group Art Uncut


Art Uncut had been hoping to spark debate around big-earning stars' duty to pay taxes in their native country.

Campaigner Charlie Dewar said: 'U2's multi million-euro tax dodge is depriving the Irish people at a time when they desperately need income to offset the Irish government's savage austerity programme.


Pop music: The giant balloon eventually burst after being seized by security officials


'Tax nestling in the band's bank account should be helping to keep open the hospitals, schools and libraries that are closing all over Ireland.

'Bono is well-known for his anti-poverty campaigning but Art Uncut is accusing him of hypocrisy.'

The opening night of major acts, which saw revellers drenched in rain for the third day running, proved to be one of political activism.

Morrissey had drawn cheers from the audience after calling Prime Minister David Cameron a 'silly twit' for opposing an outright ban on wild animals in circuses.


Rocking and rolling: The security team eventually managed to take the balloon away


Introducing the classic Smiths song Meat Is Murder, he hailed MPs' support this week for a prohibition.

The singer condemned Mr Cameron over claims he tried to bully one MP into dropping the plans, saying: 'What a silly twit.'

Radiohead were unveiled as last night's secret act on the Park stage, with frontman Thom Yorke telling fans: 'We're here to get in free.'

He added: 'We asked Emily Eavis if we could get in free and she said, 'Will you play?
'We like it here as much as you do.'


Close to The Edge: The protesters attempt to lift the balloon near the stage where U2 were performing


Uplifting: One protester lunges at a security guard while spectators look on


The relentless rain has seen Worthy Farm become Britain's biggest mudbath - but the weather will dry up tomorrow, forecasters said.

Among the 170,000-strong crowd on the 900-acre site were Wayne and Coleen Rooney.

The footballer and his wife sparked a media frenzy as they joined the party.

Despite the rain and dark clouds, Rooney wore dark glasses as the couple walked arm in arm wearing matching Hunter boots.



The show must go on: While U2 managed to complete their performance, the band's fans were shocked at the way the protest was put down


Rooney, who had his hood up after recently having a hair transplant, was seemingly in good spirits after returning from a break in Barbados to travel to Somerset.

The 25-year-olds were believed have shunned a tent in favour of VIP treatment in a top-of-the range motorhome.

Moroccan act Master Musicians of Jouhouka and rapper Chipmunk got proceedings under way.

But the showers came back with a vengeance when the likes of rappers Wu-Tang Clan came on stage in the afternoon.

Marc Argent, 32, from Street, Somerset, was one of hundreds gathered around the Pyramid to perform a welly stomp dance in the quagmire.

He said: 'It's great to see it all under way. It's muddy but it is still magical.'

Forecasters say that today and tomorrow should be largely dry, with temperatures possibly topping 25C (77F).

Coldplay and Beyonce are the remaining headliners.
