Popular streamer IShowSpeed – real name Darren Watkins – is playing next week’s Sidemen charity match, the YouTube group has confirmed, amid fears he would have to pull out to recover from a recent hospitalisation. Watkins, who has more than 20 million subscribers on YouTube, claimed he “almost died” when he suffered a sinus infection in July which caused “deadly” cluster headaches, sharing updates in which he could be seen with one eye closed and the other severely swollen. In a stream last month, Speed told viewers: “I literally had the worst-ever sinus infection. It got super, super bad, and the sinus infection was causing cluster headaches. “I went through so much. I’m still healing.” He added that doctors were telling him “a whole different story right now” about whether he would be well enough to take part in the football match, which takes place on Saturday at the London Stadium. Fears he would have to withdraw from the kickabout only intensified when the 18-year-old accidentally showed his penis on camera, and the Sidemen’s official Twitter/X account mysteriously deleted the tweet announcing him as a player. He was previously confirmed to play in the match after being challenged to do 20 keepie uppies by Sidemen member and rapper KSI, and succeeding. However, after the tweet was deleted, fellow Sidemen member Simon “Miniminter” Minter told fans on a stream that Speed was “still playing” the charity match, subject to medical checks. He said: “As long as he’s OK with the medical stuff he had before. He is still playing, yes. “The reason [the tweet] got deleted is because there was some question on whether he would be able to fly.” Now it seems Speed is all good with the “medical stuff”, as the Sidemen tweeted a video on Thursday adding: “It’s official, he’s back. Welcome back to the charity match [Speed].” Responding to the news, KSI – real name Olajide “JJ” Olatunji - begged the streamer not to “slide tackle me” because of his upcoming match against Tommy Fury in Manchester in October. KSI is joined in the Sidemen by Minter, Tobi “TBJZL” Brown, Harry “WroetoShaw” Lewis, Josh “Zerkaa” Bradley, Ethan “Behzinga” Payne and Vikram “Vikkstar123” Barn.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker welcomed their first baby together after the birth of their son on 4 November. 44-year-old Kardashian gave birth in Los Angeles and reportedly has a strict “invite-only” policy in place for people wanting to meet her newborn. Since his arrival, Blink 182 drummer Barker has shared clips from the hospital on his TikTok, revealing that he was practising drumming along to the baby’s heartbeat. Barker shared a 1 minute and 13-second long video on TikTok, captioned, “Practicing to my babies heartbeat”. In the video, he played on a snare drum practice pad next to Kourtney while in the background, his baby’s heartbeat could be heard coming from a nearby monitor. The clip has been viewed over 990,000 times and in the comments, people were baffled by his decision to bring drumming equipment to a medical facility and were equally in awe of Kardashian’s patience. @travisbarker Practicing to my babies heartbeat ? One person commented: “He had to BRING that to the doctor’s office.” Another wrote: “I love Travis, but this would seriously test my patience.” “She’s a better woman than me,” someone else added. One TikToker added: “This is too much.” Fortunately for Barker, it appeared Kardashian herself was filming the clip, so she can’t have minded too much. The birth of the couple’s baby boy came days after Barker revealed in a podcast that his name was going to be “Rocky”. Speaking on the One Life One Chance podcast, the drummer was talking about upcoming work when he let slip: “There's a benefit for Hawaii that we were going to do, but it’s the week that Rocky’s due.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
