The twin brother of pop star Will Young helped in a vicious unprovoked street attack on a chef, a court was told yesterday. Rupert Young, aged 25, allegedly flew into a rage as he and two friends rained blows on 35-year-old Kawa Ghareeb as he passed them on a London road.

The father of Pop Idol winner Will Young today said he and his wife were very proud of their son following his shock success.

After 18 weeks the crooning is finally at a climax as Britain prepares to vote for its Pop Idol in the grand final of the programme which has gripped the nation.
