David Haye’s former ‘throuple’ ex Una Healy shows off stunning Frankie Dettori-inspired hat at Royal Ascot
ROYAL Ascot kicks off today and Una Healy has turned heads arriving in a hat inspired by legendary jockey Frankie Dettori, as he takes part in his final royal meeting.
The Saturdays singer, 41, looked sensational in the stunning headpiece which features a golden figurine of Frankie performing his signature flying dismount.
The hat, which was commissioned by bookmakers Ladbrokes, is a green and pink design, which pays tribute to his time as a jockey for racing company Juddmonte.
Italian Frankie, who is widely regarded as the most famous jockey in the world, has won the Ascot Gold Cup eight times.
The 2023 season is set to be Dettori’s farewell year, with the 52-year-old set to retire at the Breeders’ Cup in Santa Anita, California.
Una said of her historic headpiece: “Hats off to Ladbrokes and Ilda Di Vico for my beautiful headpiece.

“Frankie Dettori has given us some many amazing moments throughout his career and I really wanted to pay homage to him ahead of his last ever Royal Ascot and this gorgeous hat certainly does that. It’s a real crowd-pleaser.”
The hat took couture milliner Ilda Di Vico several weeks to create by hand.
Speaking of her creation, she said: “Royal Ascot is about the racing and the hats and I really enjoyed the creative challenge set by Ladbrokes.
“Frankie Dettori’s glorious career was the perfect inspiration for this headpiece and I hope it’s a fitting tribute to a sporting great.”

Frankie, 52, has vowed to wow fans at his last-ever Royal Ascot and is aiming to go out with a bang — and a few tears.
He said: “You know me, I wear my heart on my sleeve — so there will be tears on the last day, especially as all my family will be at the track.
“The first day will just be an amazing buzz — it always is, I can’t wait.”
Frankie Fever has already hit the country and millions are expected to be punted on his rides on Tuesday afternoon.
The Sun first revealed in January how Una was in a throuple with retired boxer David Haye, 42, and model Sian Osborne, 31, after the trio jetted off to Morocco together.
However, the romance was not to last, and the Irish popstar has recently poured her heartbreak into a song called Walk Away, which shares how neglected she felt while Haye dated her as well as Sian.
Sharing her story, she said she met David last summer through dating app Raya — but he told her he didn’t believe in monogamy.
Recalling her decision to leave the throuple, the honest Una said: “I was like, ‘You know what, I’m out. This isn’t for me. You can have him.’
“He can have whoever he wants, because one will never be enough for him.”
