- Taiwo Leo Atieno, 39, a former professional footballer, appeared at Harrow Crown Court facing multiple allegations, including assault and controlling behaviour, related to his former partner, Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan.

- Atieno was released on conditional bail with a £10,000 surety and must reside at his Brixton home, while the case highlights alleged long-term abuse against an original Sugababes member who remains active in music.
