TIM DE LISLE’s Brutal Review of a Lackluster Oasis Gig
The atmosphere is heaving. The fans are mad for it. Half of Cardiff is wearing a bucket hat. The roof feels as if it’s about to blow…
Dynamo cosied up to wife Kelly Frayne on Saturday night as they made a rare appearance together at the Adidas Originals party in London.
The magician, 39, whose real name is Steven Frayne, seemed in high spirits as he posed for pictures with his glamorous wife at the event.
The performer wrapped up warm by layering a number of jumpers including a navy hoodie, a knitted beige cardigan and a zip jacket.
Dynamo, who has been open about his battle with Crohn’s disease in recent years, kept comfortable in a pair of black jogging bottoms which he teamed with a pair of trainers.
Meanwhile, Kelly looked incredible in a stylish black leather long sleeved midi dress which donned a fur collar and dramatic cuffed sleeves.

She added a pop of colour to the look by elevating her frame in a pair of towering red heels and left her long red tresses loose.
The beauty completed her evening outfit by applying a flawless palette of makeup, including a swipe of bold red lipstick and accessorised with a pair of gold earrings.
Kelly, who met Dynamo in 2011 and tied the knot in 2012, flashed her gorgeous smile as she wrapped her arms around the performer while posing for photos.
Dynamo’s first TV appearance was back in 2002 on Richard & Judy which soon led to a fly on the wall documentary series called Dynamo: Magician Impossible.
The magician was diagnosed with Crohn’s when he was a teenager and had to have part of his intestine removed when he was 17.
Back in 2020, Dynamo had a hospital stay during a flare-up and also contracted a ‘severe’ case of Covid-19.
He put up a statement on Instagram, writing: ‘Today is IBD (irritable bowl syndrome) awareness day.
‘I was supposed to be doing some talks about it to let people know what its like and to help those suffering, but unfortunate I suffered a flare up yesterday and will be unable to fulfil my commitments today.

‘Really sorry to let people down…especially today. But for us going through it, it’s an IBD life, not just one day, and it can affect us when we least expect it.
‘Hate to burden you with my woe’s but feel bad to those who I have let down today. Heading to hospital to get checked out, my team will keep you posted and I will be back before you know it. Stay strong out there everyone. [sic]’
Speaking previously on The Chris Evans Virgin Radio Breakfast Show, Dynamo said he was working his way back to full health after self-isolating for two weeks.
Reflecting on his experience with the virus, Dynamo admitted his symptoms were exacerbated because of Crohn’s.
He explained: ‘I obviously was struck down by COVID. My case was, you know, it was possibly a mild case, but it got quite severe because of my existing condition.
‘Last couple of weeks, I spent a lot of time, you know, in bed. I’ve been self isolating and following all of the rules. Now I’m definitely feeling in much better spirits. Still a little bit croaky, so I apologize for my husky voice right now.’
Reaching out to fans, the Bradford born star insisted the merciless, indiscriminate nature of the virus should encourage people to live life in the moment.
He said: ‘I think everybody right now is going through it. And I think, you know, if anything, it just in some ways, it shows us that we shouldn’t take things for granted and we should make the most of the moments that we go through.
‘And most of our family and I will hope everyone’s taking this time as well as, you know, taking care of themselves, but trying to be positive and use this time wisely.’
The magician admits his underlying battle with Crohn’s disease, a condition he was diagnosed with at 17, helped him prepare for two weeks in self-isolation away from his loved ones.
Dynamo – who lives with his family in north-west London – revealed his hospitalisation with the illness served to foreshadow his enforced quarantine with the coronavirus.
‘I spend a lot of time, obviously, in hospital myself,’ he added. ‘And there was a point when I was going through my worst with my Crohn’s disease and food poisoning, where the doctors thought I was contagious so they wouldn’t allow people to come in or me to go out.
‘So I was literally on my own with just my imagination for a couple of weeks. And this was a couple of years ago. So right now, you know, I’m kind of doing it again like everybody else in the country and around the world.’
