idols

Myles is due to support Ed Sheeran in 2025, describing him as "one of my idols".

Fifteen-year-old Zaina, training on the same courts as her idols as part of the Future Stars Camp, said: "We never really had these kinds of tournaments and events in Saudi, so for them to finally come is life-changing."

Activists have found that many of these idols are now in museums, auction houses or private collections in Western countries such as the US, the UK and France.

Six idols have been returned to the community since 2022.

But many worshippers are now a lot more paranoid - putting these idols in iron cages to protect them from going missing.
