Hitman 'drops mask for flirty hostel receptionist'

A FLIRTATIOUS exchange at a hostel could prove pivotal in the hunt for the masked gunman suspected of assassinating insurance boss Brian Thompson.

Police released images showing the man smiling, with his mask lowered, after a receptionist asked to "see his pretty smile", according to reports.

It is hoped the brief exposure will lead to his identification. Last night, the suspect was still on the run.

The hooded man, labelled a person of interest, was staying at the hostel, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, where he flirted with the female worker before Thompson was shot on Wednesday.

Proud boss Mark: Forget miss, we wouldn't be here without Scott

PROUD Fraserburgh boss Mark Cowie can't blame striker Scott Barbour for passing up the moment his Highland League outfit had dreamed of. The 85-1 outsiders knew they were coming to Ibrox with only the slimmest of opportunities to cause an upset. But they might have stood a chance had Barbour taken his big moment just before half-time. Pouncing on a mistake by Gers keeper Mason Munn, the club's record scorer with 270 goals couldn't grab the biggest of his career as he dragged wide.

Jacksons to headline UK summer fest

THE Jacksons are set to return to the UK to headline a music festival. The Motown stars - whose hits include Blame It on the Boogie, I Want You Back and Can You Feel It - will top the bill at Guil- fest on Saturday July 5. Only three members of the original line-up - Jackie, 72, Jermaine, 70, and Marlon, 67 - are still alive after Michael died aged 50 in 2009 and Tito died aged 70 last year. Marlon, Jackie and Tito's son Taryll, 49, will perform at the festival in Guildford, Surrey, which sold out last year when it returned for the first time in a decade. Organiser Tony Scott said: \"It is an absolute priv- ilege to have the legendary Jacksons headlining.\" Razorlight will play the main stage on Sunday.
