HOLIDAYMAKERS in Mallorca got a surprise this week when Geordie duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were spotted filming at the Protur Bonaire Hotel in Cala Bona. The popular presenters, both 48, sent a wave of excitement through the resort as they arrived in the pool area. News of their presence spread quickly, with dozens of guests rushing to catch a glimpse of the stars. While some were surprised to see the multi-millionaires at a family-friendly resort, the reason behind their visit soon became clear. Ant and Dec were filming a commercial for TUI holidays, a company frequently partnered with the Protur Bonaire. The filming took up most of the day, with the popular duo shoo-

TWENTY years after Carlos Moya and Rafael Nadal played in the Athens 2004 Olympics, the island will once again be sending two representatives to the Games. Joining Rafael Nadal, who will compete in both singles and doubles in Paris, is Jaume Munar from Santanyí. The news, initially reported by Cadena SER radio on Monday July 8, was confirmed minutes later by the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation. Munar steps in for Alejandro Davidovich, who will miss the Olympics due to lower back problems. At 27 years old, this marks Munar’s debut at the prestigious sporting event. This development brings back memories of the 2004 Athens Olympics, where a young Nadal faced off against his fellow Mallorcan, Carlos Moya, in a historic all-Spanish final. While Nadal ultimately emerged victorious, both players left their mark on Olympic history.
Ant and Dec’s friendship has endured fame and the ups and downs of their lives. 2023 saw the return of their hit entertainment show, ‘Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win’.
