HE has been labelled the golden boy of English football – now Jack Grealish is being compared to Golden Balls.
I’m told the Manchester City and England ace and his stunning missus Sasha Attwood are being dubbed the new Posh and Becks after the model signed her first major fashion deal.
At 23 she has landed a big-money role as the face of online clothes giant Boohoo, after her midfielder boyfriend joined Boohoo Man in another handsome pay day.
A source said: “Jack and Sasha are being jokingly called the new Posh and Becks by some of his mates because of their deals. They are really taking off.
“He is the man of the moment in football but he’s got plenty of female fans too, and with Sasha, those around them think they could become a new power couple. She normally lives out of the spotlight but this Boohoo deal will bring her to the fore.
“It feels like a real coup for the company and it’s a smooth move for Jack and Sasha as a couple.
“He‘s getting a bit of ribbing but they’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.”
Jack and Sasha met as teenagers at school in Solihull, West Mids, and have dated on and off since. The pair reconciled ahead of the Euros this year and later had a holiday in Croatia.
Jack was a record £115million signing for the blue side of Manchester this summer when he moved from Aston Villa.

At 34, my chances of a professional footie career have very much diminished, there’s another week before pay day and I just landed a £50 parking ticket I could really do without.
Now that’s a boo hoo...
Kylie's all tight on the night
KYLIE Minogue headlined the London leg of the 24-hour Global Citizen Live festival, but getting her glad rags on proved to be no mean feat.
In between takes at the recording of her performance, she admitted it was a miracle she could breathe in the stunning glittery red dress, which was cinched at the waist, let alone sing.
Kylie told the crowd before launching into Dance Floor Darling at London’s Sky Garden on Friday night: “I can barely breathe...If you hear a thud, then that is that.”
When one of the audience told her she looked hot, she added: “Well, that is the intention.”
There were performances for the mega gig on all seven continents, with Doja Cat taking to the stage in a particularly revealing outfit in Paris, which was hosted by actress Priyanka Chopra.
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello snogged during the New York show, while other star guests included Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo, Sir Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Ed Sheeran and Duran Duran.
Si's Vegas cash cow
SIMON Cowell is preparing to relaunch the careers of some of his favourite Britain’s Got Talent successes, offering them lucrative deals to perform at his new Las Vegas live show.
Insiders have revealed the former X Factor boss had made a beeline for artists including Twist & Pulse and Paul Potts to join the Sin City extravaganza, which begins in just over a month.
A source said: “Simon is going all out to make sure his Got Talent residen- cy at the Luxor Theatre is a huge success. And while he had lined up a load of acts from his American version of the show, Simon knew the power of some of his British acts and wanted to get them involved.
“There had been some questions over whether they could make a go of it because of the travel restrictions around the pandemic, but they’ve had the green light for weeks now.
“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for some BGT favourites who are looking at this stint in Vegas as their big break on the world stage.”
Simon unveiled his mega ten-week residency earlier this year but insiders said it was likely to be given an extended run.
The source added: “They need to gauge the suc- cess of the first shows, but Simon’s residency could go on for years.”
Simon said of the venture: “To be able to put on an AGT residency in the world capital of live entertainment is a dream come true.”
Simon’s accountant will be having similar thoughts.
He is Dermot perfect
DERMOT Kennedy wowed with three near sell-out nights at London’s Alexandra Palace over the weekend.
In scenes reminiscent of when Sam Smith was on the cusp of superstardom, the Irish singer-songwriter had fans hanging on his every word as he performed at the 10,000-strong venue.
With hits including Outnumbered and Giants already under his belt, as well as a No1 album Without Fear, the rising star proved you don’t need pyrotechnics and multiple costume changes to deliver a world-class show.
Arenas beckon.
Kittens enjoy catch-up
ATOMIC Kitten staged a mini reunion as they came together to celebrate Natasha Hamilton's wedding.
The Whole Again singer tied the knot with her partner Charles Gay in Italy on Saturday after a five year engagement, with her bandmates Liz McClarnon and Jenny Frost as guests.
She spared no expense on the bash, held on the banks of Lake Como, and wrote on Instagram: “I’m in a massive bubble of love surrounded by all the people who mean the world to me. Happy Days!”
BTS give Ed the shivers
ED Sheeran has spent the past three months at No1 thanks to his singles Bad Habits and Shivers, but that could be about to end.
Coldplay and BTS are challenging him for the top spot on Friday with My Universe.
According to Official Charts, their collaboration was last night just 1,000 copies behind Ed.
If it can stay at No2, or hit pole position, it will be K-pop band BTS’s highest-peaking UK single. It would also be Coldplay’s best chart single since Something Just Like This, a No2 in 2017.
Shivers and Bad Habits have been No1 for the past 13 weeks. Ed has spent 54 weeks in the top spot in his career.
That bodes well for the release of his album next month.
Gillian's on a loo-ser
THINGS really seem to have gone to s*** for poo expert Gillian McKeith.
Once known for poking around people’s stools on Channel 4’s You Are What You Eat, Gillian hasn’t been on telly for years but is now asking a stinking £500 for a Zoom chat with her.
Why on Earth anyone would actually want to talk to her, let alone pay that much for the privilege, I don’t know.
Gillian, who agreed to stop using the title “doctor” in ads in 2007 after it was revealed she actually wasn’t one, is marketing her services to fans on a talent website.

I suppose the only upside is that she can’t snoop around your toilet bowl if she’s separated by a computer screen.
