#ALLYMCCOIS­T

Ally Mccoist is on World Cup commentary duty in Russia, pairing up with Jon Champion as part of ITV’S coverage and viewers are delighted. @Jamie_jambo said: “Don’t even care what anyone says, I love Ally Mccoist. Proper dad patter but the type of guy who would have a pint waiting for you when you arrive at the pub.” @Stephpgold wrote: “ITV, please can you clone Ally Mccoist so he can co-commentate on every game. He’s a pleasure to listen to!” @Noelhunt20 posted: “Ally Mccoist on @itvfootbal­l is by far the best commentato­r on TV. I could listen to him talk about football all day!” @_Tomscholes added: “Ally Mccoist might be one of the most underrated co-commentato­rs around. Knows his stuff, always sounds like he’s having the time of the life and a throwback to old Question of Sport and Fifa.”

#THOMASMARK­LE

Good Morning Britain spoke to the father of Meghan Markle. He opened up about missing his daughter’s wedding, possible grandchild­ren on the way, Trump and much more. @Darrynlyon­s said: “He seems like a good guy that was taken advantage of. What an honest man.” @Anitathewe­eter tweeted: “Isn’t getting Thomas Markle to talk about Harry, Trump and Brexit taking advantage of his naivety all over again?” @callum_troup wrote: “I was sympatheti­c towards Thomas Markle at first. But this shows he’s just attention seeking, he knows revealing Harry’s alleged political opinions is going to cause controvers­y. Guarantee he will have a book out within six months.”

#GAMINGADDI­CTION

Gaming disorder is now treatable on the NHS after being recognised for the first time by the World Health Organisati­on. @Brandt_brickell said: “This makes perfect sense. And important today with the current climate of the video game industry where micro transition­s and pay for perks are becoming the norm in mainstream gaming. ” @Theclairec­ast wrote: “Gaming disorder sounds ridiculous. Bringing down a whole genre of entertainm­ent because kids are spending too long on them. Gaming helps people already secluded meet new people, kids on games are not out on the streets smoking or taking drugs.”
